Chapter 155: It won't end well
Mrs. Mu's mood fluctuated in an instant, as if she suddenly fell from the clouds to the bottom, and then bottomed out and rebounded to the clouds, her expression was dazed for a while, and she didn't know what to say.
Yan Ran smiled and asked Mrs. Mu for peace and said, "Mrs. Mu is well." ”
The county lord of Min'an also stepped forward to ask: "Old lady, I haven't seen you for many days, how are you lately?" ”
When Mrs. Mu saw the county lord of Min'an, she came back to her senses and was surprised: "Yu'er, when did you come, why don't I know?" ”
The grandmother of the county lord of Min'an had a deep relationship with Mrs. Mu, and she was very familiar with Mrs. Mu's hand, and said, "Grandmother has often been unable to sleep well recently, so I thought about coming to Xiangguo Temple to pray for her." I only arrived last night, so I didn't alarm you, but only invited Miss Yan to come over and talk. Unexpectedly, there was a sudden storm, and she stayed with me, and I sent her back in the morning. ”
The county lord of Min'an explained clearly the matter of Yan Ran's stay in a few words.
Mrs. Mu couldn't help but feel guilty that she had misunderstood Yan Ran, and at the same time took the hands of Yan Ran and the county lord of Min'an, and said with a smile: "Yu'er grew up with me, and I am quite close to Miss Yan, and you two are little sisters, this is really a coincidence!" ”
The county lord of Min'an smiled, and looked at the courtyard curiously: "What's the matter, why are there so many people in the courtyard?" ”
As she spoke, she seemed to have just seen Xiao Zun, and pretended to be surprised: "Second prince? ”
When Mrs. Mu heard this, she also turned around and looked over.
She was in a hurry, but she didn't notice that the man who came out of the house was Xiao Zun.
She couldn't help but wonder very strangely, why was Xiao Zun in Yan Ran's room, and what did Wen mean by what he said?
Wen was immediately dumbfounded when he saw Yan Ran coming back from outside.
If the woman in the room is not Yan Ran, then who is it?
Wen looked at Xiao Zun mechanically, but he touched his cold gaze, and his whole body was agitated, and he quickly lowered his head.
Xiao Zun was looking at Yan Ran.
Whether it was the county lord of Min'an quietly appearing in Xiangguo Temple, or Yan Ran's visit to the lord of Min'an County, it was too much of a coincidence.
Cui Jingshi was triumphant, thinking that she had used the county lord of Min'an and Yan Ran to achieve her goal, and toyed with everyone.
But in Xiao Zun's view, it was Yan Ran who really promoted the development of the situation behind the scenes.
Cui Jingshi, who thinks she is in control of everything, is just a chess piece in her hand.
Yan Ran was not afraid of Xiao Zun, her eyes looked at him calmly, and she didn't back down.
But Xiao Zun suddenly laughed, his scarlet eyes flashed with a crazy light, and his smile was gloomy and distorted.
Yan Ran suddenly felt that her scalp was numb for a while, and she was defeated, and she couldn't help but look away.
Xiao Zun walked to the courtyard and bowed to everyone.
Wen and the others hurriedly avoided it, not daring to accept the courtesy.
Xiao Zun restrained that uncomfortable smile, turned to a look of shame, and explained: "Last night, the palace and the concubine traveled at night, and suddenly encountered wind and rain. Because it was raining, I wanted to drink some wine to warm up. Who knew that he was drunk and went to the wrong yard, and he actually stayed at Miss Yan's residence, and hoped that Mrs. Yan and Miss Yan would forgive me. ”
Old Taijun Mu dragged Yan Ran behind her and glanced at Xiao Zun with an unkind face.
If you want her to say, this second prince is really shameless, he came to the pure land of Buddhism with a concubine, and he was still in the residence of a girl who had not yet left the cabinet, it was ridiculous!
But because of Xiao Zun's identity, he apologized so sincerely, they were dissatisfied, and they couldn't say anything.
With Wen's presence, Yan Ran was silent.
Wen's head was buzzing, hating and fearing, and he had to smile and say, "Your Royal Highness is serious." ”
Xiao Zun nodded to everyone, turned around and beckoned to the house, and a graceful woman walked out.
The crowd craned their necks to see the woman's face.
But she wore a long hat that reached the floor, and she was wrapped so tightly that not even a single hair was exposed.
Xiao Zun took her in his arms and carefully protected her, for fear that she would be shy if she was seen by others, and looked very affectionate.
Seeing that the two were about to leave, the county lord of Min'an was anxious: "Hey......"
Yan Ranyi grabbed the wrist of the county lord of Min'an and shook his head gently at her.
The county lord of Min'an glanced at Yan Ran puzzled, but finally didn't say anything, and endured it for the time being.
After Xiao Zun left, Mrs. Mu said to Wen: "Mrs. Yan, I can't get used to eating food in the temple, so I brought my own cook, if you don't dislike it, go to my Zen courtyard for breakfast!" ”
Even if the Wen family was unwilling, it was not good to show anything in front of Old Taijun Mu, so he could only barely maintain a smile and said: "Thank you for your good intentions, the concubine is a little unwell, so she won't go." ”
Mrs. Mu didn't say anything polite to the Wen family, and directly pulled Yan Ran and the county lord of Min'an away.
After this incident, Mrs. Mu also saw that the Wen family was not a good thing.
No matter which lady sees a man in her girl's room, her first reaction is to cover it up, how can she be in a hurry to let the whole world know?
Mrs. Mu saw through Wen's vicious thoughts, and made up many scenes of Yan Ran being bullied, and couldn't help but feel more sorry for her.
Yan Ran and the county lord of Min'an accompanied Mrs. Mu to have breakfast, so they said goodbye first.
Walking on the road, the county lord of Min'an hurriedly asked Yan Ran, "Why did you stop me?" Now it's good, Cui Jingshi has not been damaged at all, and she got what she wanted, didn't we make her a wedding dress for nothing? ”
Yan Ran explained unhurriedly: "If you expose Cui Jingshi's identity in public, it will indeed damage her reputation." But at the same time, you also personally sent her to the position of the second princess. ”
The county lord of Min'an frowned and said: "Cui Jingshi has no match with the second prince, isn't the position of the second princess a certainty?" ”
Yan Ran smiled and said: "You also said that it was a matchless fornication, how can you be sure that Xiao Zun will admit it afterwards?" ”
The county lord of Min'an didn't think about this at all, and said in surprise: "Even if Xiao Zun repents, but with the pressure of Elder Cui Ge, how dare he deny it?" ”
Yan Ran shook his head and said softly: "Xiao Zun has his political and political considerations, and he has not decided to take the same boat with Cui Mansion for the time being, the reason why he is so careful to cover up his relationship with Cui Jingshi is to leave a way back." And he is arrogant, and he is most afraid of being used by others. Cui Jingshi has already violated his taboo, that is, in the future, he has the intention to borrow Cui Jingshi to win over Cui Fu, and Cui Jingshi will never have a good time if it falls into his hands. ”
Yan Ran said, her eyes turned cold, and she sneered: "I thought Cui Jingshi was a smart person, since she had already spared her innocence, she should completely let herself out, so that she could show her true face in public, at least she could get the position of the concubine, although her reputation was damaged for a while, but it was for the long run." Unexpectedly, she was fascinated by love, and under Xiao Zun's coaxing, she missed the opportunity. In this way, she becomes passive. Now, as long as Xiao Zun doesn't admit this, it is her saying that she has broken the sky, and who will believe it, and what pressure does Cui Ge Lao have. ”
The county lord of Min'an also felt relieved when he thought that Cui Jingshi had lost her innocence and couldn't get married, but he was still a little depressed at the moment.
She said in a sullen voice: "I haven't been able to rectify Cui Jingshi now, and I don't know when I will wait in the future, I still don't feel happy." ”
Yan Ran grabbed the hand of the county lord of Min'an and comforted her: "I have a bad grudge with Cui Jingshi, and I won't let her end well." Be patient, you'll see. ”
Wen couldn't figure it out, which link went wrong, and how could Yan Ran be so lucky to escape again?
Her goal was not achieved, she was depressed and resentful, and she had no heart to worship the Buddha and pray for blessings.
Yan Ran honestly followed Mrs. Mu and the county lord of Min'an to pay homage, and then returned home with the Wen family.
After Yan Ran returned home, she went directly to Master Yan and ordered Qingxuan to serve a bowl of unfinished bird's nest.
Old Man Yan looked at the bowl of leftovers and said incomprehensibly: "This is?" ”
saw Yan Ran kneeling on the ground with a plop, tears falling like beads with broken threads.
Master Yan was startled, and hurriedly went to help Yan Ran: "What's the matter, get up and speak!" ”
Yan Ran refused to get up, looked at Master Yan with teary eyes, and choked up: "Dad, my daughter is almost, almost can't come back!" ”
Yan Ran recounted what happened in Xiangguo Temple, and pointed out that there was a drug in the bowl of bird's nest that Wen gave her.
If she hadn't happened to be called away by the county lord of Min'an, the bowl of bird's nest was eaten by her, and she fell asleep, and she would have been the one who was ruined last night.
A woman who is unmarried and has lost her innocence, how can she still have the face to survive in the world, she has gone to hang up early in the morning, but she just can't come back.
Wen, who suddenly offered to pray for blessings, appeared in Xiao Zun, who appeared in Yan Ran's room, and had a bird's nest with drugs.
Together, it is not difficult to deduce Wen's sinister intentions.
Master Yan didn't expect that Wen and Xiao Zun would secretly communicate with each other.
If the Wen family used this method to send Yan Ran to the prince's bed, Master Yan might not care.
But partisanship is not child's play, and a person who accidentally stands on the wrong side will lose his head.
Master Yan is taking refuge in the prince, but the Wen family turned around to befriend Xiao Zun, if the prince's faction knows, they will definitely think that he is flattering on both sides, and it is unknown if they will join forces to suppress him.
Master Yan immediately darkened, and said to Yan Ran seriously: "In the future, you don't have to go through her anymore, Dad will make decisions for you." ”
What Master Yan said mainly refers to Yan Ran's marriage.
As the head mother of the Yan Mansion, the Wen family can't even interfere in the marriage of the eldest daughter, isn't it just an ornament?
This is a huge blow to Wen's both power and face.
*
Xiao Zun finally appeased Cui Jingshi, promising to be responsible for her, so that she would not be quiet for the sake of her reputation, and marry him innocently, with a sincere look of consideration for her.
But when he turned around, he gritted his teeth with hatred: "This palace underestimated women, but I didn't expect it to be planted in their hands!" ”
Su Yu's mind turned slightly: "Them? Does His Highness mean that this matter was not done by Miss Cui alone? ”
Xiao Zun sneered: "Cui Jingshi thinks she is smart, but she doesn't know that she is just a chess piece in Yan Ran's hand, and she is leading her nose!" Yan Ran is really bold, she dares to calculate the palace! ”
Xiao Zun angrily slammed the table.
Su Yu was puzzled: "However, the matter of His Highness going to Xiangguo Temple is extremely secretive, how did Miss Yan know about it?" ”
Xiao Zun was also puzzled: "Yes, this palace can't figure it out, but she has great powers." ”
Su Yu seemed to mention it unintentionally: "Speaking of which, the eldest prince of Wen went to the temple to see you that day." ”
Xiao Zun's eyes changed and looked at Su Yu.
Su Yu looked calm, and continued: "Prince Wen and Miss Yan are cousins, and the two have met occasionally in the academy, and they seem to have a good relationship. ”
Xiao Zun's eyes gradually changed from suspicion to ruthlessness, and there was a bloodthirsty cold light in his eyes.
