Chapter 299: A New Love
"We, who are in the middle of nowhere, never thought that we would be able to see the prince in this life, and your arrival really made my humble house shine."
Zhu Man leaned over, personally held the tea in his hand and walked forward a few steps, and then handed the tea to Xiao Chufang.
Xiao Liyue, who was beside him, looked at him with a flattering look, and her eyes were full of disdain.
If it weren't for him to find out what happened back then, she probably wouldn't want to deal with you like this in her life.
"Master Zhu, how can you just do a face-to-face effort, you seem to be a different person than before? Could it be that you actually have a twin brother, the one who just went out, and now the other, right? ”
Xiao Liyue scolded without dirty words, which made the slightly knowledgeable maids on the side couldn't help but laugh in a low voice.
Zhu Man immediately glanced at the laughing maid, who hurriedly shuddered, and didn't dare to look this way anymore.
Xiao Liyue just watched this scene, and decided in her heart that this Zhu Man must be extremely domineering on weekdays.
"Miss Xiao, don't laugh at me here anymore. Before, I didn't know Taishan, and I would let these unsightly guys at home fight with you. At such a moment, Zhu Man still shirked all the responsibility on those subordinates.
"Okay, we're here today just to send Ling Ai back." Xiao Chufang didn't want to have more communication with the other party, and explained his intention concisely.
Zhu Man was immediately stunned, and couldn't help but ask directly: "Yuelan? Didn't she stay at home? Could it be that he went out to provoke the prince before? ”
As soon as the words fell, a brightly dressed woman quickly walked out of the screen at the back, and knelt in front of Zhu Man with a pop: "Dad, don't talk nonsense." I stayed in my room and didn't take a step outside at all. ”
Looking at such a scene, it is obvious that this is the Yuelan that Zhu Man said.
Without waiting for Xiao Chumad and the others to continue, Zhu Man slapped directly and hit Yuelan in the direction of Yuelan mercilessly.
A crisp sound sounded, and soon a red hill emerged.
Tears flowed down Yuelan's delicate little face instantly, and the whole person looked extremely pitiful.
However, all the scenes fell into Xiao Liyue's eyes, and she only felt speechless to the extreme.
"We're not talking about her, we're talking about your other daughter." Xiao Liyue was really in no mood to watch the father and daughter acting in front of them.
After all, the quality of this acting is too poor, and they will glance in their direction from time to time during the quarrel, and anyone with a discerning eye can know that Zhu Man wants to please them.
"Another daughter?" Zhu Man was really stunned this time, no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't think of it, and finally there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, "Miss Xiao, don't joke with me anymore, I'm an old girl, just such a daughter, where can there be other daughters?" ”
Seeing that he was so serious, Xiao Liyue became more and more dissatisfied in her heart, and simply said directly: "Zhu Cuilian, it should be your daughter, right?" ”
The moment this name appeared, Xiao Liyue glanced at everyone's faces as quickly as she could.
Although the emotions of these people changed quickly, she still found that there was a moment of fear in everyone's expressions, as if this person was some kind of taboo in their hearts and could not be mentioned at all.
"Ah, that's right, she's my daughter. But she had fallen off a cliff two years earlier, and her bones were gone. After Zhu Man was stunned for a moment, he found that the three of them were always looking at him, so he said with a somewhat unnatural expression.
"Falling off a cliff? But as far as we know, she was kidnapped by flower thieves. Back then, this incident was even more well-known, but it was also Master Zhu's daughter, you won't forget such an important thing, right? ”
Zhu Man dodged Xiao Liyue's gaze and did not speak directly.
Xiao Liyue simply looked at Lin Yuelan on the other side, and saw her hurriedly waving her hand: "I married my mother after my sister died, so naturally I don't know about those things in the past." ”
Xiao Chumad, who had not spoken, frowned unconsciously after hearing these words.
Speaking of which, he also had the same experience as Zhu Cuilian.
After the death of his mother, his father only grieved for a short time, and soon found a new love. Just thinking about that time, he felt uncomfortable all over his body.
If his father is the current Son of Heaven and the emperor, he should have three palaces and six courts.
What about Zhu Man in front of him?
A strong murderous aura rose from behind him: "My sister died? ”
Zhu Man didn't know which sentence made Xiao Chufang's temperament change suddenly, so he could only respond cautiously: "Yes...... Ever since Cuilian died, my wife, who had tied her hair, has gone mad. That's why I married another wife, and this Yuelan is her daughter. ”
As he spoke, Zhu Man's eyes always glanced in the direction of Xiao Chufang from time to time. For fear that if you say something wrong, you will provoke the other party's anger again.
After all, the other party is the prince, if you want to let your head fall to the ground, it is just a matter of one sentence.
"Nonsense, how could a good person like my mother suddenly become insane! It must be that cheap woman from the Lin family, who didn't know what she said to her mother behind her back, so she turned her mother into that. ”
Zhu Cuilian, who had been hiding beside Feng Sujing as a little girl, heard that her mother was insulted, and she couldn't bear it anymore, so she rushed out directly.
The moment they saw her, Zhu Man and Lin Yuelan didn't have the joy of seeing their relatives on their faces at all, just like the child servant who opened the door at the beginning, their faces were full of fear.
"You...... Sister, you're not dead? In the end, it was Lin Yuelan who reacted first, and she didn't care that she was still kneeling on the ground now, so she threw herself directly in the direction of Zhu Cuilian.
A lot of tears were born out of thin air, and I wanted to stage a sisterly drama.
Zhu Cuilian took a few steps back, making the other party pounce directly. The gaze that looked at her was all sharp: "Where is the Lin family?" You hurt me so hard back then, maybe my life is not good, I don't blame you. But why didn't even my mother let go? ”
It was the most emotional time since she left that cottage, and her whole body was shaking.
"Zhu Cuilian, you left home without saying a word, and it was the master who spent a lot of manpower and material resources to look for you. But when I find you? You're sleeping with a strange man. The old man just scolded you twice, and you went to jump off the cliff in search of death. But even if you jumped off the cliff, the lord never gave up looking for you, but under the cliff, there were no bones, and our family only gave you a funeral when you were dead. Now that you're back without saying a word, and you're still bringing such powerful characters, are you really no one in the Zhu family? ”
A sharp voice came out suddenly, and Xiao Liyue couldn't help but look in the direction where the voice came from.
Through the paper window, only a tall black shadow can be seen reflected on the paper window.
After waiting for about a few seconds, I saw a graceful and luxurious woman wearing jewelry all over her body slowly walk in.
The matter was so big before, and the whole Zhu family should know Xiao Chumad's identity. Even Zhu Man, the head of the house, was timid and afraid in front of Xiao Chufang, but this woman actually dared to raise her voice to speak, obviously this person has an extraordinary background.
I saw that she glanced lightly in the direction of Xiao Chufang, just like looking at ordinary people, and continued to walk forward into the lobby.
"If not, in front of the prince, you must not be rude." Zhu Man hurriedly shouted to Lin Ruowu in a low voice, but it didn't seem to have much effect.
"Sir, we didn't kill anyone, we didn't steal, and all our possessions were obtained through proper means. Even if the emperor is here today, he can't condemn us. Lin Ruowu said as he looked at Xiao Liyue and them.
She is right, even if it is a prince, if he wants to convict a person, he needs evidence, let alone a big family like them.
Through their back and forth conversations, Xiao Liyue immediately realized that this person was Lin Ruowu, who had been discussing before.
The moment Zhu Cuilian saw her, she couldn't be calm anymore: "Lin Ruowu, if it wasn't for you, how could my father abandon his wife?" You stinky woman, where did you lock my mother up? ”
is a good person, and suddenly his temperament has changed like this, Xiao Liyue really can't guess what happened in the middle.
"Your mother? You mean Li Qingyan, that crazy woman? Ever since you fell off the cliff, she's been furious, and has even tried to assassinate her master with a dagger several times. You say such a crazy person, how can we still allow her to behave in the Zhu family? If she was not careful, she really stabbed the master to death with a dagger, what should I do if there were so many lives up and down the Zhu family? ”
This Lin Ruowu is really a clever mouth, no matter how Zhu Cuilian accuses and abuses, she is not angry, but all kinds of justified back.
Looking at a conversation, if she hadn't known about these things before, I'm afraid she would really think that Zhu Cuilian was deliberately looking for trouble.
"Lin, you are clearly plotting against my family's property, you slut, I will kill you!"
The words fell, and at the moment when everyone didn't react, Zhu Cuilian directly pulled out a hosta from her head and stabbed it in the direction of Lin Ruowu.
But the other party's face did not show a trace of panic, but turned slightly to avoid her attack, and then slapped her hard.
Everything happened between the lightning and flint, and even Xiao Liyue was stunned in place.
Seeing that Lin Ruowu's other slap was about to fall, she hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the slap that was about to sag: "Mrs. Zhu, we outsiders are still here, you still put away your usual work at home!" ”
