Chapter 154: Suicide

When the county lord of Min'an arrived at Xiangguo Temple, it was getting late.

The monks in the monastery and the pilgrims who borrowed them had already fallen asleep, and she took only two maidservants, and under the guidance of a young monk on night duty, she went to the Zen monastery where the female guests lived, and did not alarm the others.

The county lord of Min'an asked the little monk and asked, "Little master, the eldest girl of the Hubu Shangshuyan Mansion is also in the temple?" ”

The little monk replied, "Yes." ”

The maid asked, "County lord, do you want the slave maid to invite Miss Yan over to talk to you?" ”

The county lord of Min'an looked at the dark night sky covered by dark clouds, and said, "Forget it, don't disturb her rest, you can see her tomorrow, and it's not too late." ”

Yan Ran was about to sleep in a wide dress, when Qing'er, who was on duty at night, suddenly came in and said, "Girl, the county lord of Min'an is here, send someone to invite you over!" ”

Qingxuan and Xian Luo had no choice but to change Yan Ran's clothes again.

Yan Ran was dressed neatly and said to Qingxuan: "Xian Luo accompanied me over, you stayed and watched the yard." ”

Yan Ran said, gently pinching Qingxuan's palm.

Qingxuan nodded and made a reassuring expression to Yan Ran.

Yan Ran walked out of the house with Xianluo, but she didn't see the maid who came to report the news.

Qing'er replied: "The little maid said that her stomach hurts, so she went to the toilet, and asked the girl to go first." ”

Yan Ran quietly left the Zen Monastery with Xianluo and went to find the county lord of Min'an.

Not long after Yan Ran left, Wen brought someone over.

Seeing that the lights had been turned off in the room, Wen asked, "The eldest girl went to bed so early?" ”

Qingxuan replied: "Madam, the eldest girl has been in the car for a long time today, and she has been dizzy, and she didn't even eat dinner, so she went to bed early." Madame is looking for a big girl? The slave went to wake her up. ”

Qingxuan said, and went into the house and lit the lamp.

The person on the bed seemed to be affected by the light, snorted, and rolled over.

Wen stood at the door of the inner room and glanced inside, only to see the person on the bed turn over and kick the quilt, and the bedtime slid up with his arm, revealing the scar on his waist.

Seeing that scar, Wen was angry.

I don't know what's going on, Yan Ran's little hooves on the waist should have been a birthmark, but it inexplicably turned into a scar.

Otherwise, the Wen family would have promised her to Song Jinghui a long time ago, how could she still come back with these swords and swords.

Wen didn't want to wake Yan Ran, so he lowered his voice and said angrily: "Since she is unwell, let her sleep." ”

Hearing this, Qingxuan retreated again.

Wen ordered the painting to put the food box on the table and said to Qingxuan: "I thought that she didn't eat at night, and I was afraid that she would be hungry, so I ordered someone to stew a bowl of bird's nest for her." This thing is so expensive that you can't eat it overnight, and since she sleeps, I'll give it to you! ”

Qingxuan couldn't help but be a little flattered, and hurriedly said: "The slave has thanked Mrs. ”

Wen glanced at Qingxuan contemptuously and left haughtily.

After Wen left, Qingxuan entered the room and said to the person on the bed: "Chun'er, get up, Madame is gone." ”

Chun'er rolled over and got up, her face frightened.

It turned out that she was wearing Yan Ran's bedclothes, pretending to be Yan Ran lying on the bed and deceived Wen.

Chun'er stroked her chest and said, "I'm scared to death, what if Mrs. comes in and finds me?" ”

Qingxuan smiled: "You are not even afraid of the corpse, what are you afraid of her?" ”

Chun'er muttered, "Sometimes, the living are much more terrible than the dead. ”

She said, puzzled: "Sister Qingxuan, didn't the girl go to see the county lord of Min'an?" Let's tell Madame the truth, why lie to her? ”

Qingxuan sighed: "It's not that you don't know, Madame is looking for trouble with our girl." If she knows that the girl is not in the boudoir late at night, and she doesn't know how much trouble she is going to make, why should we look for it! ”

Chun'er thought about it and felt that it made sense.

Qingxuan said again: "Mrs. brought bird's nest to the girl, and the girls on the left and right don't eat it, let's go eat it!" ”

Hearing that there was bird's nest to eat, Chun'er couldn't help but swallow her saliva secretly, and quickly got up and changed her clothes.

The two turned off the lights in the room, closed the door and walked out, and went back to their house to eat bird's nest.

The room was pitch black and silent.

At this moment, only a slight sound was heard, and the rear window was opened.

A figure climbed in through the window, picked up Chun'er's bedclothes that she had just taken off, put them on, and got into the bed.

On the other side, Yan Ran came to the Zen courtyard where the county lord of Min'an lived.

There were already people waiting outside, and when they saw Yan Ran's master and servant, they led the two in.

The county lord of Min'an was sitting in front of the mirror to remove her makeup, she saw Yan Ran, and asked with a little worry: "You came by yourself, or ......?"

Yan Ran smiled: "Didn't you send someone to call me over?" ”

The county lord of Min'an breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Yan Ran and smiled, looked at her from the mirror and said, "You are really clever, from the beginning to the present, every step of the progress of things is under your control." ”

Yan Ran walked to the county lord of Min'an and sat down, put her hand on her cheek, and her eyes were calm: "I just know Cui Jingshi better." ”

Since Yan Ran learned that Xiao Zun was also in Xiangguo Temple, she reacted that Wen's taking her to show Mrs. Mu was just a pretense, but the real purpose was to conspire with Xiao Zun to calculate her.

Yan Ran didn't know what Wen and Xiao Zun planned to do, but since Xiao Zun was interested in her but was ruthlessly refused, and Wen didn't want her to have a good time, thinking that the conspiracy of these two was nothing more than ruining her innocence.

In this way, Xiao Zun can get her, but he will not give her the position of wife; Because she lost her life before marriage, she had no bargaining chips, so she could only be a concubine aggrieved, and Wen's goal of humiliating her was achieved.

Since Yan Ran already knew about the conspiracy of the two, there were many ways to avoid it.

For example, find a way to leave Xiangguo Temple, or seek refuge from Mrs. Mu.

But doing so could not relieve the hatred in her heart.

And it's a rare opportunity, and she's certainly going to take advantage of it.

So, Yan Ran hurriedly wrote a letter to the major in Min'an County, asking her to "inadvertently" disclose the news to Cui Jingshi.

Cui Jingshi's heart has always been higher than the sky, she doesn't even consider the prince who already has a concubine, she would rather marry Xiao Zun, and try her best for the most noble position that all women in the world desire, how could she be willing to marry?

Sure enough, after Cui Jingshi learned the news, she secretly hid in the carriage of the county lord of Min'an and followed her to Xiangguo Temple.

The county lord of Min'an said: "I was still wondering, why did you ask me to prepare a carriage with a camera obscura, it turned out to be to create an opportunity for Cui Jingshi to leave the Prime Minister's Mansion." ”

The county lord of Min'an said, changed his words again, and said worriedly: "However, she brought you over so blatantly, aren't you afraid that we will find out that something is wrong and go back to her to settle accounts?" ”

Yan Ran sneered: "Since Cui Jingshi has already come, she will never return in vain. Even if Xiao Zun's plan is not to find me at night and destroy my innocence, Cui Jingshi will attract him to a private meeting in my name. As long as the raw rice is cooked and cooked, with her status as the concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the position of the two princesses will be stable. Therefore, she wished that I would break the adulterous relationship, so as to fulfill her long-cherished wish. ”

The county lord of Min'an was still not at ease and said: "But the second prince is not stupid, if he recognizes Cui Jingshi, how can he be willing to be calculated by her, won't our plan be in vain?" ”

Yan Ran looked at the storm outside and smiled: "Don't worry, Cui Jingshi deliberately concealed it, and he wouldn't be easily discovered." Besides, look at this weather, the wind and rain are rushing, the sky is gloomy, there is no light in sight, and even God is helping us! ”

The county lord of Min'an put his heart at ease, his eyes showed a light of resentment and happiness, and he said hatefully: "At the beginning, Cui Jingshi wanted to politely refuse the proposal of the eldest princess of Minyang, even if I had a private meeting with Wen Chengyan, Su Pan also humiliated me in public because of this. If you hadn't arrived in time, my reputation would have been ruined. I've been waiting for this revenge for a long time, and now I can finally take revenge. I want to see with my own eyes how Cui Jingshi killed herself! ”

During the night, strong winds and thunderstorms drowned out many sounds, and it was quiet on Wen's side.

Therefore, Yan Ran was not woken up, and slept until dawn.

The next morning, the sky was clear, and the rain washed away the dust from the leaves, making the new green color much brighter.

Qingxuan walked out of the door, took a deep breath of fresh air, and stretched comfortably in the bright sunshine.

Wen suddenly broke in with someone and asked, "The eldest girl is up, is she feeling better?" ”

Qingxuan looked slightly stunned, and stammered: "Big girl, she ......"

Wen sneered, ignored Qingxuan, and directly rushed in.

Qingxuan hurriedly followed, but the moment the door opened, she smelled a ** breath.

Through the light gauze curtain hanging from the top of the bed, a broad back with broad arms can be faintly seen, clearly a man, and a slender arm belonging to a woman is wrapped around his waist!

Wen turned around and walked to the door, and asked loudly, "Why is there a man in the big girl's bed?" ”

Qingxuan was taken aback and begged: "Madam, there must be some misunderstanding in this, don't shout ...... yet"

Wen impatiently shook off Qingxuan, and the painting and embroidery took advantage of the situation and pushed her hard.

Qingxuan took a few steps back, bumped into the Bogu frame, swept her arm, and smashed the porcelain and jade on it to the ground, making a ping-pong sound.

There was such a big commotion in the courtyard, which alarmed Mrs. Mu, who lived next door.

Mrs. Mu came to the Zen courtyard where Yan Ran lived to check the situation, but saw Wen standing in the courtyard with a group of subordinates, and couldn't help but wonder: "What's the matter?" ”

Wen raised his eyes to look at Old Taijun Mu, his eyes were red, and he said apologetically with a crying voice: "Old Taijun, the concubine can't stand you!" ”

Mrs. Mu was confused, but saw the door open and a man walked out.

A man appeared in the room where Yan Ran lived, and the meaning of the representation was self-evident.

Old Mrs. Mu appeared angrily, and she didn't even see who that person was, so she walked out angrily.

She also felt that Yan Ran was polite and polite, and she was a rare good girl, but she didn't expect her to be a water-based poplar and shameless!

Mrs. Mu had just walked to the door, but she unexpectedly collided with Yan Ran, who was laughing with the county lord of Min'an, and was stunned again.
