Chapter 106: The Real Mastermind Behind the Scenes
Yan Ran's rhetoric does not stand up to careful scrutiny.
How old is she, and she has a blood feud with someone? Besides, she used to have no chance to meet Xiao Zun without going out of the door.
But Wen Rongan thought seriously for a moment, and then replied, "Okay." ”
Wen Rong'an was so refreshing that Yan Ran felt incredible: "You don't ask me why? ”
Wen Rong'an looked at Yan Ran with a smile, and said softly: "Didn't you already say that you have an enmity with him, and I naturally have the same hatred with you." ”
Wen Rongan knew that Yan Ran was a little different.
Although he didn't know why, he was willing to believe what she said.
After Yan Ran returned home, she returned to Qionghua Courtyard and stayed quietly, and did not reveal what happened today.
Wen was slightly proud, but Yan Ran was in a bad mood.
After all, there is no accompanying presence of the elders in the family on the open day of the school, which means that it is not taken seriously, and there will still be some unhappiness on the face.
Unexpectedly, the next day, a holy oracle arrived at Yan's Mansion.
"The Holy Lord's edict, Yan Ran, the eldest daughter of the Yan family, has a meritorious service in rescuing Princess Roujia, and rewards one hundred taels of gold, ten brocades, ten pearls, and a ...... of white jade Guanyin."
The gift list was very long, and the internal official really read it for a while.
Such a rich reward made everyone in the Yan family stunned.
Yan Ran knew in her heart that these were all blessings thanks to Xiao Se.
Emperor Sheng vigorously rewarded Yan Ran, who was kind to Xiao Se, in fact, to show his importance to Xiao Se.
Although Xiao Se is only the daughter of a vassal king, she is a member of the royal family after all, and she should be treated indispensably.
Old Man Yan happily sent the official away, and when he came back, he heard Wen blame Yan Ran: "You kid, what happened to such a big thing, why didn't you tell us?" ”
Yan Ran replied: "What my daughter did was just a gesture, and I didn't dare to take credit." Besides, it is about the princess's reputation, and her daughter does not dare to say anything. ”
Without waiting for Wen's continued criticism, Master Yan nodded with satisfaction: "Well, Ran'er is thoughtful and has done a good job." ”
Wen didn't want to say anything more, and glared at Yan Ran sullenly.
Yan Ran kept the cash in the reward, divided the rest of the items and cloth, and directly ordered Xian Luo and Qingxuan to send them to each courtyard.
Master Yan looked at Yan Ran, who was becoming more and more polite and decent, and his heart became more and more happy and satisfied.
Wen and Yan Yao were not in such a good mood.
Wen complained: "Why is Yan Ran's little slut so good? The girl in the Qingguo Mansion was rescued by her when she fell ill, and Princess Roujia was kidnapped by thieves and rescued by her, how could any good thing happen to her? ”
Yan Yao obviously didn't think there was anything wrong with Wen saying that other people's lives were at stake as "good things", and the jealousy towards Yan Ran in her heart became deeper and deeper.
Under the strong request of Master Yan, Yan Ran was writing a greeting post to Xiao Se in the room.
Qingxuan suddenly ran in in a hurry: "Girl, Princess Roujia is scolding outside the gate of Sufu, and there is a commotion outside!" ”
Yan Ran raised her head and said with interest, "What's the matter?" ”
Qingxuan said: "The slave maid doesn't know, I only know that Princess Roujia went to Su Mansion early in the morning." Su Fu invited her in, but she didn't go in, but only let people take turns scolding outside, and the rhetoric was the same. said that Su Yu Su Gongzi didn't want Princess Shang Roujia, so he instigated the Xue family's son to kidnap her and ruin her reputation. Scolding Su Gongzi is a wolf-hearted, sinister and cunning coward. ”
Yan Ran listened to Qingxuan's narration, imagined the chaotic scene outside the door of Su Mansion, and couldn't help laughing: "Su Mansion is scolded by her? ”
Qingxuan said helplessly: "What can I do then, Princess Roujia is a dignified princess, they can't beat or scold or persuade them, they can only let her go!" ”
Yan Ran shook her head lightly and restrained her smile.
Although Xiao Se's approach was hearty and relieving, it also had an impact on her own reputation.
Yan Ran sealed the written sticker and instructed, "Qingxuan, prepare the car." ”
Qingxuan asked, "Girl, where are we going?" ”
Yan Ran smiled slightly, lightly opened her lips and said, "Su Mansion." ”
When Yan Ran came to Sufu, Xiao Se's wheel scolding war had not yet ended, and the onlookers had already drained the water outside the Sufu Gate.
Yan Ran could only get out of the carriage in advance and walk over.
Along the way, I only listened to people's discussions, mostly negative comments about Su Yu.
"What's so bad about Princess Shang? This is an honor that many people can't get even if they break their heads! Doctor Su Xiao was favored by Princess Roujia, and she even felt that she had wronged him, she really didn't know how to be blessed in the midst of happiness! ”
"Hey, everyone has their own ambitions, and the horse can't be out of the house, so I think he is aiming for the temple!"
"Then he can't use such indiscriminate means to destroy the princess's reputation!"
"That's right! If he doesn't want to be a princess, he can make it clear to the princess and ask her to take back her fate, anyway, the saint has not yet given marriage, and there is still room for change. But he didn't dare to show his will, but he secretly used dirty means to frame the princess, which was really not done by a gentleman! ”
"The word Moti gentleman, he is also worthy of it?!"
……
Yan Ran came to Xiao Se's frame and asked the maid to report, and was soon invited.
Yan Ran entered the carriage and saw Xiao Se leaning on the pillow, eating ice grapes, very comfortable.
Xiao Se motioned for Yan Ran to sit down, and asked lazily, "Why are you here?" ”
Yan Ran said: "The princess can relieve her anger?" If they feel at ease, tell them to stop. ”
Xiao Se looked at Yan Ran unhappily: "What, are you here to be a lobbyist for the person surnamed Su?" ”
Yan Ran shook her head and chuckled: "Princess, I have a long-standing grudge with the person surnamed Su, and the princess's move can be described as very happy." The Xue family confessed that Su Yu was the mastermind behind the scenes, and the princess should be angry with him, but she needed to know that everything should be done in moderation. The princess made a fuss, which not only won the support of the people, but also stinked Su Yu's reputation. But if the trouble goes on for a long time and the matter is bigger, it will backfire and hinder the reputation of the princess. Moreover, the old lady of the Su family is the head of all the doctors in the palace, and the emperor and the queen mother rely on him very much. The princess still looked at the face of Old Lady Su and saved some face for Su Mansion, so as not to lose her sacred heart. ”
When Xiao Se first came to Anyang, he didn't know much about the people here, and he didn't know that the Su family had such a status in the palace.
She was silent for a long time, and finally followed Yan Ran's advice, which made people stop scolding and go home.
However, Xiao Se still couldn't get rid of his vigilance against Yan Ran, and asked suspiciously, "Why did you help me?" ”
Yan Ran said bluntly: "Helping the princess yesterday was out of sympathy between women; Today's advice to the princess is because the princess taught Su Yu a lesson and helped me out of a bad breath, so I am grateful. ”
Xiao Se asked, "What grudge do you have against him?" ”
Yan Ran sighed slightly: "This matter is a long story, if the princess is interested, I can slowly tell the princess in the future." ”
Xiao Se nodded, and then asked, "Speaking of which, how did you find me yesterday?" ”
Yan Ran did not hide it, and replied truthfully: "I have a little research on medical science. Although those people were full of alcohol, their eyes were clear, and it was obvious that they did it on purpose. They do this to mask the smell of the incense. As everyone knows, they are self-defeating, and after the wine and the fragrance are mixed, the smell is even more special. I was already suspicious, and I saw that the cloth bags they were carrying were larger than normal, and I felt even more inappropriate. ”
Xiao Se heard that Yan Ran understood medical skills, and admired her a little more: "I didn't expect that you were still deeply hidden." ”
Yan Ran said modestly: "It's just a little rough." ”
The two talked for a while and had a good conversation.
Xiao Se gradually opened his heart to Yan Ran, and said bluntly: "Miss Yan, the incident on the school field that day was my fault first, and I apologize to you." ”
Yan Ran shook her head and said, "The facts of that day have another inside story, speaking of which, it was I who caused the princess." ”
Xiao Se looked at it puzzled, and when she heard Yan Ran say that she was lured by the rabbit, it was Cui Jingshi's plan, and she couldn't help but sneer: "There is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in Anyang City." ”
Yan Ran paused, and then said, "Princess, in fact, yesterday's events are not as simple as we see. ”
Xiao Se hurriedly asked, "How do you say this?" ”
Yan Ran took a deep breath, lowered her voice and said solemnly: "The real mastermind behind this matter should be the second prince, Xiao Zun." ”
For the sake of the future career development, Su Yu must not want Princess Shang to receive an empty title of a concubine.
The Su family only has such a lone seedling as him, and it is impossible to watch him go to Heyang without watching him go away.
However, whether it was Su Yu or the Su family, even if they were unwilling, they would not dare to be disrespectful to the princess.
Besides, how could Su Yu be able to manipulate the son of the household servant to take the risk of disrespect and destroy the princess's reputation?
All this shows that there is someone else behind the scenes, and it is Xiao Zun, who is trying to win over Su Yu for his own use.
The Xue family didn't dare to confess Xiao Zun, and they didn't want to bear it alone, so they confessed to Su Yu.
Su Yu couldn't confess to Xiao Zun, so he could only remain silent and carry this black cauldron to him.
After listening to Yan Ran's words, Xiao Se's body trembled with anger: "What a second prince, I have no grievances with him, he used me as a raft for his own selfishness!" ”
Xiao Se was resentful, but he couldn't do anything: "It's a pity that I'm an orphan girl who is weak and has no evidence, so I can't get justice for myself." If my father were alive, how could I tolerate him deceiving me so far? ”
Yan Ran soothed: "Princess, I am not asking you to take revenge on Xiao Zun when I clarify this matter with you. I just want to remind you that when you choose a colt in the future, you have to think about it in many ways, so that you don't want to be framed unknowingly. ”
In fact, Yan Ran also made a mention because of her admiration and pity for what happened to Xiao Se in her previous life, and hoped that she could have a good home in this life.
Xiao Se suddenly remembered one thing: "Then didn't I scold the wrong person?" ”
Yan Ran said with a smile: "This matter is all because of Su Yu, and besides, he is Xiao Zun's henchman, how can he not know about it?" ”
Xiao Se nodded, thinking that she had a point.
After a while, Xiao Se took out another invitation and handed it to Yan Ran, saying, "On the fifteenth day of next month, I will hold a recruitment conference, and you will help me choose a horse." ”
Yan Ran pointed at herself in disbelief and asked, "Do you want me to help you choose a colt?" ”
Xiao Se nodded and affirmed: "I don't know much about Anyang's interpersonal relationships, what if there is a second Su Yu, so you have to help me!" ”
Yan Ran was very helpless, she just kindly reminded her, how could she be relied on?
