Chapter 217: Clearing the clouds and seeing the light
He wanted to be a little more serious with Xiang Yeqi, but he bumped into a big drama head-on.
The Taishi chair that should have been placed in the main hall was generously placed in the sun, and Mrs. Zhen sat on it with her legs crossed, her face so vicious.
And the scene that Mrs. Zhen was facing was even more terrifying, Aunt Zhan, who should have been locked up in the room by Qin Yi, was being whipped by the servants of the real mansion at this time, and even the satin moon-white dress was pulled out of several cracks, and gradually turned into a faint pink, it is self-evident how serious the injuries on Aunt Zhan's body should be.
With a single glance, Xiang Yeqi felt like a thorn in his back, and he didn't want to stay for a moment.
As if she hadn't seen the two of them, Mrs. Zhen scolded even more vigorously: "Give me a hard beating!" I let you not be a woman, thinking about these inconsistencies all day long! When the Hou Ye wakes up, see how he cleans you up! Give me a beating, whoever dares to be soft, will be beaten for her! ā
Those few domestic servants were doing this kind of work that didn't require brains, so naturally they wouldn't slack off in front of Mrs. Zhen, but seeing that Aunt Zhan was about to faint, their wrists were also very sore.
After Mrs. Zhen's eyes signaled, the servants finally stopped the whips in their hands.
Xiang Yeqi was about to take the opportunity to say goodbye to Mrs. Zhen, when he saw a burly mother-in-law come forward, splashed a basin of salted water on Aunt Zhan, and scolded: "Shameless little slut, the master has only been gone for a few years, and the filial piety period has not yet passed, so you want to hook up with other men!" ā
Aunt Zhan rolled on the ground in pain in an instant, and even three or four maids came to hold her hands and feet, but she couldn't stop her instinctive reaction under the pain.
At this time, Qin Yi leaned over and whispered something in Mrs. Zhen's ear, and Mrs. Zhen finally saw Bo Zhaoxu and Xiang Yeqi "in hindsight", and asked, "The fourth prince is leaving with the princess?" How is Master Hou now, is his body better now? ā
"The little marquis is already much better, but I'm afraid I will have to borrow the guest room of the real mansion for a while, and the king is still in a hurry, so he will take his inner man back first."
Before his words landed, Mrs. Zhen smiled happily: "The real mansion is not a place that cannot be climbed, the little Hou Ye wants to live, just let him live, besides, this matter is out of our real mansion after all, and it is also appropriate to let the Hou Ye take care of his body in the mansion." The prince is careful on the road, and the women will not stay for two. ā
The corners of Bo Zhaoxu's lips furled, and he nodded to indicate that he understood. Xiang Yeqi also learned from Bo Zhaoxu's appearance, and nodded politely with Mrs. Zhen.
Looking at the back of the two leaving, Qin Yi asked Mrs. Zhen softly: "Mother, can I go and send off the fourth prince and princess?" ā
As the daughter of the real mansion that Mrs. Zhen did not really recognize, Mrs. Zhen didn't care about her going, and she never restricted her every move. Even if Qin Yi decided to send Bo Zhaoxu and Xiang Yeqi by herself without saying a word, she would not say anything or think more.
However, although Mrs. Zhen bears the name of the head of the real mansion, but the heirs left by the real prime minister, except for the eldest son of the real mansion, are not born to her, when the real prime minister was desperate and chose to sell concubines and daughters, those children had already remembered, seeing that their mother was sold to different places, but this nominal mother lived peacefully, to say that they were not dissatisfied in their hearts, it was all false.
It's just that because of the identity of the elders of the real mansion, those juniors don't dare to really mess with Mrs. Zhen, so they have to stalemate for several years, not offending each other, but Mrs. Zhen is obviously more humble, after all, even her own heirs will only call her "mother" when they need her.
Qin Yi is different, Qin Yi likes to ask her ideas about everything, and finally makes her feel that she has regained a little bit of her dignity as an elder, and because of this alone, she has an indescribable good impression of Qin Yi.
"Go ahead."
Madame Shin nodded kindly and let Kotoichi do what she wanted.
After getting Mrs. Zhen's reply, Qin Yi quickly caught up with Xiang Ye's footsteps and said, "Princess, please stay first, Qin Yi has something to tell you!" ā
Xiang Yeqi turned back when he heard the voice: "Qinyi girl? What's wrong? ā
She was suddenly stunned - Qin Yi shouldn't have come to ask Ning Rongchen about it, right? Isn't this matter tacitly agreed upon, does it belong to Qiu Ming's mess?
Fortunately, Qin Yi just blamed himself for bowing to him: "Qin Yi knew what arrangements they had, but he didn't stop it, it was Qin Yi's, so Qin Yi made a special trip to compensate the fourth princess." ā
She said to Ye Yan a little confused: "Didn't Miss Qinyi wake us up a long time ago?" It's hard for us to leave early, and the girl is here alone. ā
"What a stupid woman." Bo Zhaoxu patted Ye Diao's head in favor, "She means that today's farce, she could have stopped it." ā
Bo Zhaoxu looked at Qin for a while, his gaze suddenly became distant, and not everyone could get close to him.
There was a hint of interrogation in his words: "Is what this king said right, Miss Qinyi?" ā
Qin Yi's heart was very struggling, and her lower lip was red from being bitten by her under the tension, and even a little blood beaded out.
After a while, she gritted her teeth and admitted, "Yes." āā
Qin Yi continued: "I really need this handle too much, Aunt Zhan is too vicious, if I don't use this to get rid of her, I am afraid it will be very dangerous in the future in the house." However, from beginning to end, Qin Yi never deceived the prince and the princess, and the eldest lady originally played that idea! It's just that she believed the wrong person, and Aunt Zhan lied to her from the beginning. ā
"How?" Xiang Yeqi asked along the words of the qin.
"Aunt Zhan doesn't want to be widowed by herself, so she wants to use this to scatter the five stones to the fourth prince or the little marquis, and since then she has left the real mansion, and even the eldest lady has been used by her." Qin Yi sighed with emotion, "I did something out of it, and it was supposed to be only Mrs. Zhan who would have been tricked, and I don't know what happened to the little marquis." ā
ā¦ā¦
Xiang Yeqi felt that from the moment he saw Qin Yi, the thing related to Qin Yi was to reverse and reverse again, so it didn't matter if Qin Yi's words were true or not.
Except for Qiu Ming's suffering, the loss is not "very big".
But it was clear to Yeqi that the people who came to the Zhenfu banquet today, except for their passers-by, the rest of the people could be described as all the wicked people, and none of them could pick it up clearly.
Even Qin Yi, who is weak and willow supporting the wind, cannot be said to be completely helpless.
"Does the prince think what Miss Qin Yi said is worth believing?"
In fact, Xiang Yeqi already had her own decision in her heart, but she wanted to hear Bo Zhaoxu's opinion more, and from the fog, she had a little bit of clarity that was rare in the world.
Pushing aside the clouds and seeing the moon, Bo Zhaoxu can always give her some different insights.
"What she says isn't entirely credible, but it's still a bit true."
Bo Zhaoxu habitually lifted the carriage curtain for Xiang Yeqi, "If today's matter was arranged by her, then she would not use such a crude method, Wushisan This thing is only reliable in the eyes of a half-informed person like Mrs. Zhen." ā
"That'sā"
Xiang Ye's heart was pounding, and it was difficult for her to calm down the fear of Qin Yi in her heart.
"Then what if she deliberately chose Wushisan just to clear up the relationship, and wanted you and me to subconsciously feel that this matter has nothing to do with her?"
She couldn't help but recall that when Fang and Qin Yi looked at each other, Qin mentioned Aunt Zhan and Mrs. Zhen, and a cold wisp of hatred seemed to flash in her eyes, but before Xiang Yeqi could confirm that the gaze in Qin's eyes was not enough to be called disgust, Qin Yi regained his calm.
"It's possible, get in the carriage first."
Bo Zhaoxu helped his startled little workman into the carriage, and then continued: "Her target is not you and me, it is the Zhan family who wants to use a knife on her, in order not to let you and me suspect that using something as unsafe as mine will harm herself." ā
"Then I'll be relieved."
Xiang Yeqi breathed a sigh of relief in Bo Zhaoxu's arms, thinking about it, Qin Yi had no reason to target them at all.
On the contrary, it was Mrs. Na Zhen, who acted in a drama in a big way, just in order to get herself out of this matter, and let Aunt Zhan take the blame alone.
Xiang Yeqi was too timely, and just happened to meet Mrs. Zhen to punish Aunt Zhan, but after thinking about it carefully, Xiang Yeqi found that before she and Bo Zhaoxu walked in, they couldn't even hear the sound of the whip. Seeing that they were getting closer, the whip sounded instead, but it didn't mean that this one was really ready for the real lady and was waiting for them to come.
ā¦ā¦
After Bo Zhaoxu and Xiang Yeqi returned to the inn and rested for a short time, Qiu Ming was also escorted back to the inn without illness and got out of the carriage tremblingly.
The small half of the blood released is really going to drain Qiu Ming.
In order to regain the face he had lost today, Qiu Ming broke free from the support of Wu Ming, took a few steps forward a little weakly, and before he had gone far, he was clubbed on the side of the table, barely standing firm.
Bo Zhaoxu put down the teacup, as if he was very happy to see Qiu Ming's dilemma, and even asked knowingly: "Master Hou, is this?" ā
Qiu Ming coughed twice, took out a letter from his arms and put it on the table: "The letter sent by the old thing was supposed to come back in time, so I just stopped it." ā
The letter was sprinkled with gold dust with a different fragrance, and it was indeed a royal pie, although Xiang Yeqi felt that it was more like an upstart pie.
Qiu Ming quietly pushed the letter in front of Xiang Yeqi, and said: "I want to give you the name and surname, Ben Hou saw that the eunuch also had the idea of seeing your appearance, so he found an excuse to send him back, why don't you thank Ben Hou?" ā
"Thank you Master Hou, Master Hou is smart."
Xiang Yeqi read two sentences casually to make Qiu Ming happy, and at the same time he opened the envelope in his hand with his hands, and muttered curiously: "What letter can you send to me by name?" It's strange enough for you to be a king. ā
After roughly reading the contents of the letter, Xiang Yeqi was unexpectedly calm: "It's not a big deal, but you just invite me to sit in the palace and go when you find a time?" I remember that the monarch didn't say a few days ago that he would invite the prince into the palace for a small gathering and talk about those things in the past, maybe he was thinking about this, so he sent the letter over. ā
