Chapter 209: Disposition
The prince's several questions were sharper one by one, and Fang Mengru suddenly realized a problem after listening to it - maybe the reason why she was angry was not because Lin Yingxue had done something wrong, but because she hadn't let go of Murong Jun yet.
Because you can't put it down, you will be careful, and because you can't put it down, you will ...... Eat one's heart out.
"I'll go first." Fang Mengru felt that the prince had actually seen through her thoughts a long time ago, and she suddenly couldn't stay in front of the prince calmly.
She patted her ass and stood up, almost running out of the cell.
Looking at Fang Mengru's back as she escaped from leaving, the prince couldn't help frowning slightly.
When she returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was completely dark, and Fang Mengru wanted to go back to her yard listlessly, but a maid ring blocked her way, "Miss, Concubine Niangniang has been waiting for Miss in the mansion for a long time, does Miss want to go over to see her?" ”
"Concubine Xiang?" Fang Mengru frowned - she and Lin Yingxiang are not familiar with each other, before Lin Yingxiang handed a post to the Prime Minister's Mansion and invited her to the banquet, she was all for the sake of Lin Yingxue, so she went to appreciate her face, and now Lin Yingxiang came directly to the door without even saying a word, this is a little too abrupt, right?
Fang Mengru stood in place and thought about it, thinking that Lin Yingxiang was Murong Jun's side concubine, and she might still deal with Lin Yingxiang in the future, she didn't want Lin Yingxiang to be too embarrassed, so she still followed Yahuan to the main hall.
"Miss Fang is back?" Lin Yingxiang waited for Fang Mengru at Fang's house for nearly two hours, and she was originally a little impatient, but when she saw Fang Mengru coming, a gentle smile quickly appeared on her face.
"Hmm." Fang Mengru replied lightly, because she was not very familiar with Lin Yingxiang, so her attitude was a little cold, "Niangniang suddenly visited, is there something to find Mengru?" ”
Fang Mengru's coldness made the smile on Lin Yingxiang's face lighten a little, she glanced at Fang Mengru, and her tone was still soft: "It's not a secret, I do have something to ......say about Miss Fang when I look for Miss Fang."
As Lin Yingxiang spoke, he quietly swept the subordinates in the main hall, Fang Mengru suddenly understood when he saw this, and with a wave of his hand, he sent all the subordinates back.
"Now there are no outsiders here, so if you have something to say, please say it directly." Although Lin Yingxiang's attitude has always seemed very amiable, Fang Mengru just can't like the person in front of her for some reason.
"Miss Fang is a cheerful person, so I won't go around the bush." Lin Yingxiang took a small sip of the tea in his hand, and then slowly spoke: "I know that Miss Fang and our family Yingxue are good sisters, if our family Yingxue does something that makes Miss Fang unhappy, I, as a sister, will apologize for Yingxue here." ”
Lin Yingxiang lowered her head to the other party Mengru as she spoke, but this sudden apology made Fang Mengru confused, "What do you mean by this?" Yingxue didn't do anything to be sorry for me, and even if she was wrong, Yingxue should come and apologize to me in person, and the mother doesn't have to be like this. ”
Fang Mengru frowned, not quite able to understand Lin Yingxiang's style.
But Lin Yingxiang didn't seem to mind, and still said slowly: "Since Yingxue didn't do anything to be sorry for Miss Fang, then dare to ask why Miss Fang wants to destroy Yingxue's marriage?" ”
Lin Yingxiang's tone is still the same peaceful, but the questioning meaning in his words is particularly obvious.
"What do you mean, mother?" Fang Mengru actually didn't like this kind of hidden way of speaking the most, she frowned and thought about it, only then did she understand that the person in front of her might be embarrassed by Lin Yingxue in front of Zhou Qingshu today, so the person in front of her came to Xingshi to ask for guilt.
"Did Lin Yingxue ask you to come to me?" Fang Mengru stared at Lin Yingxiang with wide eyes, and there seemed to be a hidden flame in her beautiful eyes.
Seeing this, Lin Yingxiang still replied unhurriedly: "Does it matter?" Don't Miss Fang think that this matter is Miss Fang, you did something wrong? ”
Lin Yingxiang's slightly mean tone made Fang Mengru so angry that she almost jumped to her feet, but before she could get angry, Lin Yingxiang had already continued to speak: "My fifth sister is not young, and I finally met the son of the Zhou family, the two of them already had a good impression of each other, but Miss Fang suddenly jumped out and made such a scene, causing the son of the Zhou family to misunderstand my fifth sister, if Miss Fang really has a conscience, she should go to explain this matter to Zhou Gongzi and return my fifth sister to a clean slate." ”
"Why!" Fang Mengru was originally a fiery temper, it was not easy to endure Lin Yingxiang for so long, at this time, after listening to Lin Yingxiang's words, she couldn't help it anymore, slapped the table next to her heavily, and stood up suddenly, "I don't think I did anything wrong, it was her Lin Yingxue who did wrong!" In order to fulfill her and Brother Jun, I have voluntarily quit, but she actually went behind Brother Jun's back to see other men! ”
"I didn't teach her a lesson, which is already saving face for her! And you, this is a matter between me and Lin Yingxue, is it your turn to meddle in my affairs? Xiao Cui, send off! ”
After saying these words in one breath, Fang Mengru didn't even look at Lin Yingxiang and turned around and walked in the direction of the backyard, and Lin Yingxiang was reprimanded by Fang Mengru for this, not only did she not see any anger on her face, but under a closer look, she could find that a smile seemed to rise at the corner of her mouth.
Lin Yingxiang came to find Fang Mengru today, Lin Yingxue didn't know about it, she has been staying in the house to study medical books since she returned from the Three Princes' Mansion, and Zhou Qingshu is also a reliable person, since she made it clear to Zhou Qingshu on the day she beat her, Zhou Qingshu has never made an appointment with her, and even Liu's Tuolin Yingxiang arranged for the two to meet, Zhou Qingshu always found all kinds of excuses to refuse.
Liu is not a fool, after so many times, she naturally saw that Zhou Qingshu had no intention of Lin Yingxue, so she couldn't help but sigh in front of Lin Yingxue from time to time - For a while, she sighed that such a good husband flew away before she could get it, and for a while, she sighed that Zhou Qingshu had no vision, and she couldn't even look down on a girl like Lin Yingxue.
Lin Yingxue had never seen Liu's sentimental appearance, so she didn't feel sad when Liu said it, but felt a little funny.
The emperor's official order to depose Murong Xiao's second prince and demote him to a commoner occurred at the beginning of winter. It took so long to dispose of Murong Xiao, and it was obvious that this decision was made by the emperor after careful consideration, so all the ministers who interceded with Murong Xiao on the day of the decree were punished to varying degrees, and the most serious of them even had officials who were directly dragged down and killed.
After such a murderous example, no minister dared to intercede with Murong Xiao anymore, and the second prince with great ups and downs in his life finally became a salted fish, and there was no possibility of turning over.
"Don't get out of here!" After Murong Xiao came out of the prison, he originally planned to go back to the mansion to pack up some soft things and then run away, but those subordinates in the mansion had already turned their faces and denied people, not only did they run away with his property before the people from the government came to seal it, but they also didn't give him a chance to enter the mansion again.
And there is another item in the emperor's decree, that is, he must leave the city within today, and he must not step into the imperial city again in this life. Murong Xiao had no choice, so he hurried to a confidant minister of his, wanting some silver to go on the road, but he was kicked out by the subordinates of the mansion before he could enter the minister's mansion.
It was getting late, the gates were about to close, and he had to leave.
Murong Xiao, who was penniless, limped towards the city gate with a body of injuries, and on the way he was recognized by more and more people, who couldn't help but insult him, drive him away, and even find cow dung, dog feces and other filth and threw them at Murong Xiao's body from nowhere.
Suddenly, the second prince who was originally high on the street became a street rat that everyone shouted and beat on the street, this change is not small, Murong Xiao tried hard to protect his face, and almost ran out.
'Bang', when the tall and majestic city gate closed little by little, Murong Xiao's heart really began to feel uncomfortable.
"Phew, what's the matter, a bunch of pariahs! It's best not to give His Highness a chance to turn over, otherwise none of these people who do anything to His Highness will not be able to run away today! Murong Xiao spat at the gate of the city, and the stench on his body made him feel a little disgusted with himself.
Murong Xiao vaguely remembered that there seemed to be a river nearby, and he limped in the direction of the river. The river water of the winter moon was already cool, and as soon as his hand touched the cold water, he couldn't help but shiver, and at this moment he felt that it didn't matter if he didn't wash it.
And just as he hesitated, a voice behind him sounded coldly, "If you lose everything like this, is Your Royal Highness willing?" ”
"Who?!" Murong Xiao was startled by the sudden sound behind him, and he took two steps back almost reflexively, but he happened to be staying by the river and accidentally fell into the river with a 'plop'.
The cold water caused him to scramble to the shore, but he finally saw the man standing behind him.
"It's you!" Murong Xiao let out an exclamation, because he had also seen Yin Ze and Xu Jingsheng when they entered the city before, so he could recognize Xu Jingsheng at a glance at this time, "Why are you here?!" His expression immediately became wary.
Xu Jingsheng smiled slightly, his face looked a little cold in the night, "This is not a matter that His Royal Highness should be concerned about, what His Royal Highness should know is that I am in the same boat as His Royal Highness now, and if His Royal Highness wants to turn over, he will do what I say." ”
"Hehe," as soon as Xu Jingsheng's voice fell, Murong Xiao couldn't help laughing, "Turn over?" I'm afraid you don't know that I've been demoted to a commoner, I'm now a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it's hard to protect myself, so it's good if I don't bother you, and I still help? Oh, if you want me to do me a favor, I don't care. ”
