Chapter 16: Unease
Rong Changning's courage was beyond the imagination of the Xu family's aunt, but she agreed with such an act, and Rong Chuan couldn't say no, so he had to send Steward Xu to the courtyards to clear people.
Aunt Yao from Lukayuan was standing outside, and when she saw a person standing in front of the Chenxi Zhai Gate of Wanqing Courtyard, she had to turn around and go back to find another way.
The time of the half-burnt incense passed, and Xu Fu finally woke up. Rong Changning was still waiting in the guest room, and Rong Chuan didn't know what she was waiting for, so she just sat here steadily drinking tea and talking about grievances, and refused to leave.
Finally, Rong Changning waited until Aunt Xu entered the door angrily, and Aunt Yao behind her was still carrying a half-grown girl. Rong Changning took a closer look, and it was actually the maid Lusheng next to Rong Xin.
Before anyone else could ask anything, Aunt Xu had already pounced on Rong Chuan's knees: "Master Hou, I can't recognize it, please punish Master Hou." ”
Rong Chuan picked up Aunt Xu on the ground with a pair of big hands: "Get up." ”
Then he pointed to the maid behind him: "Aren't you the green sheng next to Xin'er?" ”
"Yes......" The maid kneeling on the ground trembled slightly, not daring to pant loudly. Aunt Yao stretched out her hand and handed a palm-sized vial to Rong Chuan: "Master Hou, this girl is waiting for the fourth lady to wash her face, and the slave maid collected such a bottle of things in her room." ”
Rong Chuan handed the porcelain bottle in his hand to Liyan, who took the bottle and sniffed: "It's the juice extracted from the Rakshasa heart." ”
The aunt of the Xu family, who was wiping the dirt on Xu Fu's face by the bed, heard this, and rushed out of the curtain crookedly, stretched out her hand and slapped Lu Sheng's face, and did not forget to slap Aunt Xu when she turned around: "Slut!" You have made peace against my son. What are you going to do now? Bring someone and put all the crimes on the head of one subordinate?! ”
"Cousin." Rong Chuan raised his eyes, and his anger approached the cousin of the Xu family: "This is Baining Houfu!" ”
She saw through her sister's unclean hands and feet at a glance, but she forgot that this was no longer Hengliang Xu Mansion, but Baining Houfu in the imperial city. Xu Yunqiao is his sister-in-law, but she is also the noble concubine of Baining Houfu.
Aunt Xu covered her face, and tears flowed down instantly at the tip of her nose: "Master Hou, don't blame the eldest sister, if I put it on Yu'er, I will also be carried away." This girl doesn't know how she came up with such crooked thoughts, and even Xin'er doesn't even know it! ”
Hearing this, Rong Changning couldn't help but interject: "Aunt Xu's words can be believed by my father, and I can also believe it, but if you want to convince people, you can't just rely on your words, right?" sent my cousin and aunt like this, and went back to Hengliang's hometown in the future to worry about it, which was really sad and angry. ”
"It's my ......" As soon as Lu Sheng said this, Rong Changning asked: "Who instructed you?" ”
Aunt Yao looked at Lu Sheng with sharp eyes: "Lu Sheng, it's all here, you can explain honestly." ”
Rong Changning quietly looked at this green sheng with a tea cup, waiting for her to explain.
"It's me! No one directs! Lu Sheng knocked on the ground and didn't dare to raise his head to face everyone, and said with a sullen head: "Since the second miss was given marriage, this Xu Gongzi turned his head and asked to marry my young lady." My young lady was reluctant to let Aunt Hou go to Hengliang, and she washed her face and slept with tears every day, and she went to ask Hou Ye to be the master many times, but Hou Ye was also indifferent and ambiguous. The young lady treats the slave and maid like a sister, and the slave and maid can't see that the young lady is worried and sad. Thereupon...... The slave went to the house to find this medicine, and wanted to relieve the young lady's worries. ”
Hearing this, Rong Changning sneered: "You are a loyal servant, and you only have your young lady in mind, can you put the reputation of Baining Houfu in your eyes?" ”
"Master Hou, I don't know people clearly." Aunt Xu grabbed the corner of Rong Chuan's clothes and said, "I have locked Xin'er in the yard, if the eldest sister still has questions, you can ask someone at any time!" ”
"My aunt didn't recognize anyone clearly last time, and she burned me down in the ancestral hall of my Hou Mansion and almost killed Ah Ruo. This time, my aunt couldn't recognize people clearly, and almost killed her cousin and ruined the reputation of the Hou Mansion. I don't know when your eyes will be polished, auntie? ”
didn't wait for Rong Chuan to get angry and tell Rong Changning to shut up, Aunt Xu preemptively said: "What Changning said is that the death of the master mother and the concubine in charge of the family always make a mess, this time the Hou Ye took the housekeeping and disposed of this girl to give the eldest sister an explanation." ”
"It doesn't matter how Master Hou deals with it, Lu Sheng only has one sentence, for the sake of Miss, I die without regrets."
Lu Sheng looks loyal and courageous, and Aunt Xu is also a pitiful appearance who is allowed to be beaten and scolded. They picked up the master of the Lujia Courtyard, at most it was a crime of laxity under the royal family, Rong Changning knew in his heart that the matter was going to be so embarrassing, so he picked up the stove and got up to leave.
Rong Changning stood in front of Rong Chuan and saluted: "Father, since the matter has been clarified, and the daughter will not stay long, it is time to go back to Wen Shu." ”
Rong Chuan raised his eyes to see Rong Changning waved his hand to signal her to go back.
Liren followed closely behind Rong Changning, saluted towards Rongchuan and turned around and followed, and waited until he was far away to call out for resentment: "Changning, when you just called for interrogation, you missed Lujiayuan alone." ”
"Brother Li, think this is strange? Something to do with Footogasa-in? ”
"The incident happened suddenly, and Aunt Xu left only after I said that Xu Fu was poisoned. In other words, she didn't attack Xu Fu, but at that time, she should have known who did it, so she hurried to find a substitute for the dead ghost. She can't afford to make a profit, and she is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and if the person who does it has nothing to do with Lukayuan, she is too lazy to bother with that thought. ”
Rong Changning sighed lightly, and said to the grievances in a soothing manner: "I don't want Xu Yunqiao to be better than anyone else, but after all, I have to take into account the reputation of the Hou Mansion, and when such a major event as murder spreads, how will the sons and daughters of the Hou Mansion behave?" Even if the eldest sister can still enter the East Palace, it will inevitably be criticized. As long as I and Elder Sister Ah Ruo's yard are held down, so that Aunt Xu doesn't have a chance to plant a false accusation, it is not impossible to give her a chance to breathe. ”
He turned his head and seemed to be a little surprised, and then smiled slightly: "Changning has really grown up." ”
"It's a shame that I'm here today to complain about my brother, and it's not a shame to be outside."
"I was going to call my father to visit." He smiled but couldn't hide his sadness: "It's just that he wants to go to Changqing Valley to collect medicine, and he can't get out." ”
"Uncle Li, when he saw the mess in our backyard, didn't he laugh and lose his teeth?"
"How so?"
Rong Changning held his hand and was silent, and he guessed in his heart that the resentment was deep and meaningful, even if he had always regarded the resentment as his brother, he couldn't help but feel that he had failed the hearts of the people.
I only heard the people next to me read: "Feng Xi Feng Xi returns to his hometown and travels all over the world to seek his phoenix." ”
Since Rong Changning began to remember, he often held her to read this song 'Phoenix Seeking Phoenix', and when he was five years old, he was familiar with it in his heart, and read down his sentence: "When I haven't met anything, I will go to Sitang tonight." Beautiful women are hard to meet, if you meet your brother in the future, you have to learn from Sima, don't miss it. ”
"If I can't meet it, I don't want to waste my time." Lizhan turned his head to look at Rong Changning with Chun Daimei: "Don't worry, no matter whether you meet it or not, as long as Changning has a request to get rid of the grievance, he will respond." If you find out that you are not entrusted with someone in the future, I don't care what kind of general he is, and there is a grudge against my brother behind him to support you. ”
He said what he said in his heart like a joke, no matter whether Rong Changning smiled or not, he laughed knowingly, and sent Changning back to Wanqing Courtyard all the way.
Fight the small feelings, and understand Rong Changning better than others in the end.
On the way to Yue's private school again, I heard Rong Ruo say that Rong Changning went to the palace banquet and was given marriage, and he was already disappointed in the classroom for a long time, and he also thought that this matter was mostly Rong Changning's mouth, and it was not strange why Rong Changning did this when he saw the situation in the backyard just now.
She is so cautious as walking on thin ice, not only to guard against hidden arrows but also to take care of the face of the Hou Mansion, how can his little Changning not grow up?
Liren didn't stay in the Wanqing Courtyard to drink hot tea, and only turned around and went to Mingzhai where he lived when Rong Changning entered the door, and saw the imposing Aunt Xu walking in the direction of Lujiayuan from a distance on the way, and there was no weaker model just now. I guess I have also dealt with the ghost who is in a hurry to go back.
As soon as she entered the yard, Aunt Xu called Aunt Yao beside her: "Open the lock." ”
Pushing open the door and seeing Rong Xin, without saying a word, he slapped her in the face fiercely: "Idiot! ”
Rong Xin tilted his head by this palm, covering his face with tears: "Mother......"
"I actually started to act in my own backyard, if you have an accident, you will die, and your brother will be killed by you!"
"Who knew that those who left home would arrive today?" Rong Xin knelt on the ground and said with a sullen head: "If he hadn't come, Xu Fu would have died today!" I don't have to worry about being married to Hengliang, otherwise would my mother have any other way? Or does the mother want to watch her daughter's dignified daughter marry that fool?! ”
"It's really stupid to say that you are stupid, but you know that you have never left a way back for yourself."
"Wouldn't it be good to plant it to Rong Changning?"
"Then you should have bought people early, right? As soon as the people came back and heard the wind, they immediately closed their yards, and everyone gathered together to hang in the middle of the courtyard. Stupid! ”
Aunt Xu rarely had such a big anger at Rong Xin, so frightened that Rong Xin knelt on the ground and didn't dare to speak, just sobbing.
"Cry, cry, cry!" Aunt Xu slapped the table twice fiercely: "What do you know besides crying?" ”
"Mother......" Rong Xin raised the peach blossom eyes that were exactly the same as Aunt Xu: "Will my father ask for guilt?" ”
Her lovely appearance made people reluctant to come out when they were angry, so they had to comfort: "Lu Sheng has already taken the blame for you." ”
"Green Sheng? Will she say it? Will Rong Changning ask what flaws there are? ”
"Settle your heart." Aunt Xu was both impatient and strategic: "The lives of the five members of the Lusheng family are all in my hands, even if you die, you won't be pulled out." ”
"Then my daughter will be at ease." Rong Xin got up and knelt down beside Aunt Xu, raised his hand to pour tea for his mother, and didn't ask what happened to Lu Sheng, who took the blame for her, and muttered: "My daughter is very scared." I am afraid that I will be married to Hengliang, and I can't stay by my mother's side to be filial. ”
"You're usually quite smart, how can you be confused at this time? If you don't do things well and don't say anything, how can you attack Xu Fu in the house? Besides, the daughter of Baining Houfu married to the Xu family was originally a low marriage, and last time Xu Fu made a fuss in the Wanqing Courtyard again, how could your father marry the daughter of the family to him again? ”
