Chapter 15: No Retreat (2)
Rong Changning turned around and saw the person bowing slightly: "Gongzi Yue." ”
"Ah Ruo is not good at learning and was left behind?"
Rong Changning was ashamed: "Ah Ruo is dull, he has to read it several times if others read it once, but fortunately, the master is patient." ”
"It's cold, why don't you go to the front hall with Gongzi to drink tea and warm up, and then go back together when Ah Ruo is done?"
"No, you go and get busy, I'll just wait here."
Yue Yongzhi looked around, and saw that there were no talents around him, and Rong Changning said: "Since the relationship between my cousin and my little sister has been better, today's matter, please don't be surprised by the sister of the Rong family." ”
What should Rong Changning do, he wanted to explain this to himself, but the corners of Rong Changning's mouth raised slightly to signal people to feel at ease: "It's okay." ”
"Miss Rong Er is really generous."
As the voice raised his eyes, he saw Bai Chuxi standing in the middle of the road, his eyes only looking at Rong Changning.
Yue Yongzhi knew that he had something to say, so he left a sentence: "My cousin is here, then I will go back to Wenshu." ”
After saying that, he turned around and left, not bothering the two of them to speak.
Rong Changning saw Bai Chu's face stiff, and his body approached him step by step with the momentum of resisting thousands of troops and horses on the battlefield, which made people panic in their hearts.
But Rong Changning still pretended to be indifferent and called: "General." ”
He turned his eyes to look at the grievances, and said to Rong Changning: "I think it will take a while for the prince to come out, and the second lady doesn't drink tea, can you go to the backyard to enjoy your face?" ”
Rong Changning turned around and told Xiao Dong: "You are waiting for the prince here, if I come back later, I will ask him to go to the son of the Yue family to drink tea and chat." ”
"Huh."
"General, please lead the way."
The corridor is deep and long. Walking beside him, Rong Changning actually felt very relieved. It also made Rong Changning can't help but think of the deep affection revealed in Bai Chuxi's shallow eyes when he helped Yue Chu up just now.
Maybe what he wanted to say was related to Yue Chu'er.
The two people who didn't know each other well didn't know where to start, and they walked out for a long time before Bai Chuxi spoke: "I am a rough person, and most of what the master said can't be understood. ”
Rong Changning didn't eat this set of compliments, and politely returned: "The Bai family's Changfang has been loyal to the general for generations, and the general's grandfather Yue's family is even more scholarly. ”
Speaking of this, Bai Chuxi suddenly stopped, turned to look at Rong Changning: "I see that Miss Rong Er is very frank, and she doesn't bend left and right, men and women should marry according to the orders of their parents, and the marriage of the saint is even more magnificent, but I think it is more important to be happy with each other." ”
Needless to say, Rong Changning knew what he meant, and asked directly: "Do you want to divorce?" ”
Bai Chuxi didn't expect Rong Changning to be so direct, his expression seemed a little uncomfortable, and even a little speechless. After pondering for a long time, he said: "But the relationship between the two sides, presumably Miss Rong Er has no affection for me, right?" Look at that runaway boy is also handsome, why don't you and I fulfill each other......"
"I can't." Rong Changning replied with Mu Yong's questioning attitude, and interrupted Bai Chuxi's words, his attitude sounded a little stronger than that of the Beisai Iron Cavalry.
This is what Rong Changning has worked so hard to beg, how can she give it up?
For the sake of his future status, Rong Ruo successfully inherited the title, and the eldest sister successfully stepped into the East Palace, Rong Changning would never let go of the big tree of the Bai family.
But Rong Changning didn't want to talk about these things to Bai Chuyi, and only said: "The Holy God gives marriage, and even my father can't refute it at will." ”
"You...... Don't you care about the runaway? ”
"The general is too worried, my brother who left home and I have known each other since childhood, how can the love of brothers and sisters be confused with the love of children?"
"Okay." Bai Chuxi nodded: "The gentleman is frank, Miss Rong Er Bingxue is smart, it should not be difficult to see that I am in love with Cousin Chu'er, and it is difficult to forcibly demolish the mandarin duck strongman, but it is not a gentleman's doing." ”
"Gentleman?" Rong Changning suddenly sneered, her little face was as cold as ice, and she told Bai Chuxi: "The general is wrong, Changning is a woman, not a gentleman. ”
Her resolute appearance seemed to be different from the poor girl at the back door of the Marquis of Baining's mansion, and Bai Chuxi didn't know what to answer.
Rong Changning stopped and looked back at Bai Chuxi, and said to Bai Chuxi sincerely with a slight face: "I won't go to get out of the marriage, and I guess General Bai won't resist the decree." Just now in the corridor, I understood the thoughts of the general and the little sister of the Yue family, if the general wanted to keep the little sister by his side, I Rong Changning was not intolerant, and let the general carry the sedan chair into the white mansion. ”
Seeing that Bai Chuxi was still not raising his eyebrows, Rong Changning's eyebrows stretched and his lips opened lightly: "The general doesn't understand?" ”
Bai Chuxi shook his head, and Rong Changning had no choice but to tell him clearly: "Changning has been a kind and generous wife." The general's backyard can put whoever he wants, and it doesn't matter. ”
"Even if I don't have you in my heart?"
"As long as I am Mrs. Bai in front of people, and who the general loves and cares about, Changning has no objection." Rong Changning breathed a sigh of relief: "The general has nothing else to do, Changning will go back first." Changning has to mourn for a year, if the general can't wait, it is okay to welcome the little sister of the Yue family into the door first, and I will explain it to the saint. ”
After speaking, Rong Changning didn't give Bai Chuxi a chance to reply, and turned to leave.
Obviously looks like such a delicate person, and he is always so irresistible when he speaks. She just needs to be the 'White Lady'?
The noble daughter of the Hou Mansion, where can she worry about not finding a good husband who is in love with the family? Doesn't she have that man in her heart who is called Lihu? This couldn't help but make Bai Chuxi feel strange.
Seeing it today, Rong Changning's heart is a little more bottom, if you want to live an ordinary life with Bai Chuxi, it is difficult, but it should always be possible to respect each other like guests.
Whoever he likes and wants to keep, he just turns a blind eye to it.
What if there is no love in this marriage? Didn't my mother and father also fall in love with each other? Mother also went to ask the first emperor for marriage.
In the end, didn't this love stay for a few years? 's father still couldn't bear Aunt Xu's affection, and insisted on accepting a concubine.
The mother couldn't stand the hard grinding of her father, and for the sake of the peace of the family, she still responded.
Mutual affection?
In Rong Changning's eyes, love is the least valuable, so she doesn't care if Bai Chuxi has herself in her heart at all. This is where Bai Chuxi doesn't understand her.
Rong Changning walked out of Yue's Mansion with Rong Ruo with an indifferent expression and planned to go home, seeing that she was not as clear as when she came, he didn't ask General Bai what he said to her, Rong Ruo wanted to ask, but he was also pulled by the resentment, and shook his head with him.
The car of the Hou Mansion passed through the long street, Rong Changning closed his eyes and listened to the shouting outside, and arrived in front of the Hou Mansion after a while. Not a few steps after getting out of the car and entering the door, Aunt Yu in the eldest sister's courtyard hurriedly walked in front of Rong Changning: "Second Miss left home, you are back, there is an accident in the backyard." ”
Thinking that the eldest sister entered the palace today, Rong Changning was afraid that something would happen in her courtyard, so she raised her eyes and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"It's the son of the Xu family who came from Hengliang, I don't know what I ate, I have convulsions, and the doctor came for a while and didn't get a good diagnosis. The mouth was already foaming at the mouth, and the doctor said that the person might not be saved. ”
Rong Changning glanced back at each other, listening to what his aunt described, it should be a sign of poisoning. And at present, in the Hou Mansion, the most proficient in poison art is none other than Ligrudge.
"That's a cousin from Hengliang's hometown, I don't complain about my brother, it's important to save people."
Hearing Rong Changning's entrustment, without saying a word, Aunt Yu led the way to the guest room to investigate the patient.
Rong Changning followed behind, his steps eagerly, no matter whether this was a conspiracy of Aunt Xu's two sisters, people couldn't have an accident in the Hou Mansion after all.
Before he stepped into the threshold, Rong Changning heard the aunt of the Xu family inside sobbing incessantly, and tears fell like rain. It looks pitiful, but it's not as hypocritical as Aunt Xu's crying.
Seeing that the grievance was coming, Rong Chuan's heart was also relieved and comforted: "This is the son of Beixun who left home, and he is the best at making poison and detoxifying when he leaves home, and my cousin is relieved first." ”
"How can I be relieved? Are you relieved that your son has become like this? ”
Rong Changning saluted and bypassed them, standing beside Liren, watching him take out a silver needle from the doctor's medical box and stab it shallowly under Xu Fu's throat, check it and slowly put down the silver needle, Liren took out the key on his waist and handed it to Xiao Dong and turned his head: "It's still annoying Xiaodong to run, there is a thumb-sized green medicine bottle in the medicine box I brought, quickly bring it to me." ”
Xiao Dong took the key: "Yes." ”
turned to Rong Changning and said: "It's not a big deal, it should be that I accidentally ate the Rakshasa heart, and I suffered more sins after a long time." ”
"Rakshasa Heart? What is it? Rong Changning looked at the grievances with a blank face: "Unheard of." ”
"It is a kind of wild fruit that grows in the dark, and it is not very rare, and it is found in the mountains of the northern suburbs. It's normal for you to live in your backyard for a long time and never hear of it. Fortunately, we came back early, and the medicine I brought can cure the poison of the herbs, and it will be fine if you drink half a pill of hydration. ”
"Things in the wild will not come to the Hou Mansion for no reason." Saying that, Rong Changning turned his eyes to look at his father, but Rong Chuan squinted at Rong Changning and motioned for her not to continue.
Aunt Xu, who was standing on the side, listened to what the maid next to her said in her ear, and a trace of uneasiness immediately flashed in her eyes, and she turned her head and went out while no one was paying attention.
The cousin of the Xu family hurriedly shook her senses when she heard Rong Changning's words: "Yes, how can things in the northern suburbs be in the city?" Someone must have sent me in and poisoned my son! I'm going to poison my son! ”
Seeing his father's expression just now, he must have guessed that someone in the backyard had moved, and Rong Changning only felt faintly uneasy when he saw Aunt Xu going out.
Without pondering too much, Rong Changning hurriedly said to his father: "The person who poisoned him should still be in the house." Inevitably, there was a man-made disaster, and he asked his father to ask Steward Xu to call all the people in the courtyard of Chenxizhai in Wanqing Courtyard out and wait for questioning, according to the list of points, no one is missing. Anyone who hides and fears to flee is to be beaten with a cane for thirty and then tied up for questioning. It is better to kill by mistake than to let go. ”
