Chapter 168: Confrontation (2)
"What you said before, I think it's because Sister Yueyi is sick, and my aunt is in a daze. But auntie, don't think it's my long house that owes you anything. Rong Changning held his waist and approached Bai Lu's family step by step, his expression was neither humble nor arrogant, forcing Bai Lu's family to take two steps back.
Rong Changning asked: "The things in southern Xinjiang seem to be not only my long house, right?" ”
"That's right, the most important thing in the imperial city is dignitaries and dignitaries, who hasn't had some of their own power behind them? On the territory of Daqi, it is not only the Beixun Li clan that can get the things of southern Xinjiang. Saying that, Chang Qiusu raised his hand and rubbed the corners of his forehead: "Invite the clan elders to the ancestral hall, won't it be just to catch the wind and catch shadows?" Three-room, you are really dizzy. ”
In this way, it really seems that the Bai Lu clan made something out of nothing. But the Bai Lu clan has been meddling in the long house for more than ten years, how could he just stop the matter? How could Rong Changning be disappointed?
She looked at Rong Changning and said: "I know that there is a medicine box in her dowry, which was added to her by Beixun Li's family, and there are demerits on the wedding gift list, do you dare to open the box and check it?" ”
This was a bit unexpected by Rong Changning, and he asked Bai Lu's instead: "Even I don't know what is written on the wedding list, but my aunt knows it?" It seems that the walls of the bamboo garden have really leaked into a sieve. ”
"I'm not afraid of offending you now, so you can find me to settle those accounts afterwards. At the moment, just talk about my family's pleasure, although I am a deep lady, I must also sacrifice my life to protect my child, and no one will be allowed to calculate and bully her! ”
Although Uncle Sanfang didn't believe that Rong Changning would do such a thing, after all, it was his own daughter, and if there was really a clue, he would definitely not let it go, so he raised his hand and saluted Mrs. Yingguo: "Uncle, Xiuyuan has no intention of offending Changfang, but the heart of the poor son is very bitter, and he must seek a result." ”
In the end, it is the head of the family, simple words are better than Bai Lu's busy work for such an old time, Mrs. Ying Guo lowered her eyelids and nodded: "Human life is a matter of heaven, it is not a trivial matter." ”
"Xiuyuan didn't question the long house, and he didn't want to embarrass the eldest uncle, he just ......"
Halfway through the words, it's hard to say. But that's all I have to say, and I don't need to say more.
Rong Changning turned his eyes to look at Mrs. Ying Guo, the two knew each other without too many words, Rong Changning understood what Mrs. Ying Guo meant, and asked Bai Lu with his chin high: "What does aunt mean, is she trying to turn over my dowry?" ”
Bai Lu looked at Rong Changning with empty eyes: "Changning, you must know that it is not impossible to turn it over in order to prove your innocence." ”
"What if I don't let it?"
"Is it difficult, are you afraid that we will turn out something?"
"If I have the heart, even if I let you turn it over, I won't let you turn it out. If you have the heart, even if there is nothing, you will turn something out. In this way, it seems pointless to turn it over or not. If you want to add sin, why should you do it? It is better to put the aunt's grievances to the saint and ask the saint to order someone to investigate, which is the most just. If you stretch out your hand and try to turn over my dowry, you can't. ”
The tone is flat, but it is irresistible. Rong Changning is like this, so that everyone can't find the room to talk back.
And Bai Lu's heart knew even more that if this matter was really not Rong Changning's doing, even if it was a mess today, there would still be room for the relationship between the two families to turn around.
But if you bring this matter to the Holy Lord, and it turns out that you have wronged Rong Changning, I am afraid that it will not be so easy to be ambiguous.
Thinking of this, Bai Lushi couldn't bear to pause, and stopped talking.
Rong Changning lowered his eyes again and looked at Bai Jinrong on the ground: "You said that Yueyi only became ill with the broken jade soup I handed over, so can you see that I poisoned it?" ”
“……”
"When did you vote? How to vote? ”
Bai Jinrong knelt on the ground with his head stuffed, and was forced to speak by Rong Changning's question, looking uneasy.
I heard Rong Changning chuckle: "You didn't see anything, so you dared to come out and identify me?" Aunt dare to make trouble to the ancestral hall? It turns out that I am such a person in the eyes of the Bai family, and I am really going to lose my face back to my mother's house. ”
There was a dead silence in the room again, and looking at Rong Changning now, he also looked like he was scheming to the end, even if he was as bold as Chang Qiusu, he didn't dare to say a word.
When everyone was silent, the housekeeper of the third room ran in and detoured to Bai Xiuyuan's side from behind, and was so flustered that before he could stand firmly, he crouched down on Bai Xiuyuan's ear and said a few words.
People don't know what the master and servant have said, but Bai Xiuyuan looked at the housekeeper and was stunned for a long time, his originally resolute face was full of doubts, and he looked up at Rong Changning and looked a little guilty.
actually solemnly raised his hand and saluted Rong Changning: "Uncle and aunt love their son very much, and Changning is not to blame if they have lost their words." ”
He turned around and faced the clan elder again: "Today, it is the fault of Xiuyuan to toss the elders of the clan to go through this experience." He must come to the door one day to apologize. And it's all a misunderstanding, it's Xiuyuan's lax discipline of the back house, and he asks the uncle to forgive him. ”
The old and cloudy eyes with a white beard on the top were full of doubts, but Bai Xiuyuan didn't explain much, and with a deep salute, he picked up the white hibiscus on the ground and turned around and walked back.
Bai Lu was carrying the handkerchief, slightly stupid because of his husband's actions, and asked in his heart: Isn't this matter to Rong Changning?
Even if there are many doubts in his heart, he still has to bow and follow his husband back.
This brainless encounter made everyone in a fog, as if they had arrived at the ancestral hall just to see the Bai Lu clan quarrel with others.
Even Rong Changning didn't react to what was going on for a while, seeing that people were bored one by one and got up to leave, Rong Changning also followed Bai Chuxi to help Mrs. Yingguo.
On the way back, none of the three of them tacitly mentioned it. Ground floor
And the first thing Rong Changning did when he returned to Zhuyuan was to go to the guest room to find a grievance, but this would make the guest room empty.
In this way, Rong Changning dared to be sure that the departure of Uncle Sanfang was inseparable from the grievances.
Turning around and walking to the door of the guest room, looking at the dwarf pine in the corner, Rong Changning couldn't help but fall into deep thought again.
"You're looking for me?"
As soon as his eyes flickered, the person he was looking for stood in the corner, as if he had just returned. The yellow leaves were carried down by the wind, like a shadow passing in front of people's eyes.
The grievances are still the same as before, warm and bright. When looking at Rong Changning, there was always indescribable softness in his eyes. Seeing her frowning, he hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled: "What's wrong?" ”
Rong Changning will ask, "You have been here all along?" ”
"I can't hide it from you."
"You've always known that, haven't you? It's your hand, right? ”
Liren smiled indifferently: "I didn't do it, I just gave the people in the third room a chance." ”
"Bai Yueyi is still a child, how can you do anything to her?"
"If Bai Lu's family doesn't want to give you a good time, then I will make her whole family feel bad. That's fair. ”
“……”
"Changning, I thought I could understand you." said and smiled bitterly: "But I don't have your husband to understand you." Even if he knows that you have killed someone, he still wants to believe that you seem cold and the most benevolent. ”
"You're all wrong. I'm not saving her, I just want to repay the favor of the third room. ”
The two looked at each other, only raised their hands away from the grievances, and motioned for Rong Changning to take a walk in the small corridor on the side.
In the verandah, Rong Changning couldn't help but ask: "Who did you just say, who is giving you a chance?" ”
"Bai Xiuyuan has a concubine who is a maid brought from southern Xinjiang with the concubine, she has always held a grudge against the Bai Lu clan, and she has a relationship with the concubine, so it is most suitable for her to start. So, I sent someone to sneak into the third room and instigated her to do it. But I didn't expect that she would lend your hand to hand over the bowl. It's my fault. I told Bai Chuxi that you have medicine in your hand, and I originally wanted to point Bai Lu's family in front of you and let you dispose of it. ”
"I'm ashamed to say that I was so calculated, and I didn't even notice it."
"Don't worry, according to Bai Lu's temper, that concubine won't survive tonight. Before you married into the White Mansion, I had already felt the three clans in the White Mansion clearly, and the doorway in the three rooms was even clearer. I know that you remember Sanfang's kindness to your marquis, and you have repeatedly tolerated it, but there must be a limit to this matter. ”
"I know what I know."
Liren nodded: "It's good to have a number." If it really doesn't go your way...... I'll kill the Bai Lu clan for you. ”
"It's not appropriate to complain that my brother is in the court, and he still wants to kill people."
"I don't think there's anything inappropriate, as long as you open your mouth, even if I don't do it, I can let her die."
"That's it, as long as the family is safe. I don't have that much to think about now. ”
"She will still give your marquis a concubine."
"As long as Hou Ye has me in his heart, even if she forces Hou Ye with a knife, Hou Ye still won't accept it." Then Rong Changning raised his eyes to look at the slanting sun on the wall, looked at the clouds and clouds, and saw the purple light dyed in the sky, and for the first time said to Bai Chuxi so surely: "I don't think Master Hou will." ”
The two dragged their long silhouettes, with a large gap in the middle.
Looking at Rong Changning's slightly bulging lower abdomen, looking at the face reflecting the glow, it was obviously in front of him, but it was already out of reach.
For love, her heart is a lot clearer, she originally thought that Rong Changning chose Bai Chuxi without hesitation when he had a way to retreat, just because his family strength and meritorious deeds could support Ah Ruo, but now that he understands his grievances, he is also convinced.
The weeds on the side of the stone road turned yellow, and he raised his eyebrows and said, "On this day, I should go back." ”
Rong Changning nodded and followed beside Liyan: "Master Hou was called to the third room, I'll send you." ”
"Go back, it's not like I can't find the door."
"What kind of hospitality is this?"
She said simply, but she made Liren feel a barrier between the two, so Liren nodded and let Rong Changning send him to the door.
The next few people will more or less hear some old things about Rong Changning and the grievances, so when they see the two walking together, they will have more or less doubts in their hearts, and they can't help but sigh in their hearts that the head of their own family is really the style of the door, and they don't care about the past at all.
