0043 Sleepless Nights
Su Jinli nodded: "Wensi tofu can nourish the body and is suitable for use at night." Grandmother, you want to eat this tonight, if you want to eat duck, I'll go back and have someone marinate it, roast it early tomorrow morning, and eat it at noon. β
The old lady was a little confused: "Who wants to eat duck?" β
After speaking, he was afraid that Su Jinli would believe it and not do it for her, so he quickly coughed again and remedied: "But Bao'er, if you want to do it, do it, you work so hard to study and eat, how can grandmother not give you face?" β
Su Jinli saw through her thoughts at a glance, and felt that this old lady was quite funny, so she smiled and promised: "Then I'll go back and let Ruyi marinate the duck and make roast duck for my grandmother tomorrow." β
The old lady nodded solemnly: "Well, you do less, don't do more." They've already eaten tonight, and they probably won't be able to eat tomorrow. β
Hmph, don't let her eat tonight, and watch her eat tomorrow!
Su Jinli didn't stay long, it was getting late, and it would be completely dark if he stayed.
Yang was afraid that it would be unsafe for her to walk at night, so he didn't dare to keep her any longer, so he let her go back to Jinghong Courtyard.
When Su Jinli returned to Jinghong Courtyard, her roast duck was still warm in the oven.
When I eat it, it doesn't taste as good as when it first came out of the oven, but it's still good.
Su Jinli ate half of it herself, and let the maids share the remaining half.
Seeing that the time was about the same, I planned to wash up and sleep.
No way, in ancient times, candles were still lit.
The Su family is in good condition, and they light butter candles, which are brighter than ordinary candles, and the price is much more expensive.
But even so, it's still a candle!
How bright can a candle be?
What do you do without sleeping?
Reading a book?
Even if she dared, the four maids wouldn't dare to let her come so nonsense!
So Su Jinli washed up early, lay on the bed, closed her eyes and began to think about her next plan.
However, not everyone has such a good mood as her.
On the Chen Sacrifice Wine Mansion, Chen Wan was lying on the bed, tossing and turning and unable to sleep.
After being sent back by the crown princess, she immediately sent someone out to inquire, but unfortunately she didn't hear any rumors that were bad for her.
She waited until her father came back and asked him what had happened.
Her father said it was nothing, but his eyes looked at her with pity.
It's clearly an accident!
And it's a big deal!
That's why her father refused to tell her, for fear that she would know about the stimulation.
Chen Wan thought of many possibilities, the biggest possibility was that she pushed Su Jinli into the water.
But at that time, there were only Xu Shan by her side, as well as her maids Liu'er and Xu'er.
The others were far away, and everything happened so fast at that time that it was impossible for those people to clearly see her pushing Su Jinli into the water.
As long as she doesn't admit it, it's fine.
Even if the Su family accused her of pushing Su Jinli into the water, they couldn't come up with evidence.
Why was her father so worried about her?
What's going on?
Xu Jue obviously told her that Su Jinli was going to be unlucky this time.
How...... The person who had the accident became her?
What about Su Jinli?
What happened to her?
β¦β¦
In the main room of the Chen Mansion, Chen Shiliang and Mrs. Chen's wife Zhou were also unable to sleep.
Zhou sat in front of the dressing mirror, took off the jewelry, and asked Chen Shiliang: "Master, just tell me, what is the matter with Wan'er?"
This morning she was sent home by the princess's people, and when I asked her, she said that there were rumors that were bad for her outside, but I sent someone out to inquire about it, but I didn't hear anything.
When you came back, your expression was wrong, you must know something, hurry up and tell me, what happened to our Wan'er? Is the girl of the Su family a demon again? β
Chen Shiliang's face was solemn, and he sat on the edge of the bed and sighed vigorously: "Something did happen this time, Wan'er...... Ay! β
Zhou Shi was anxious for a while, and he didn't care about the hair being halfway there, so he hurriedly got up and walked to Chen Shiliang, pulled him and asked, "You said it!" What happened to Wan'er? β
There were butter candles lit in the room, but they weren't particularly bright.
Chen Shiliang looked at Zhou's cloak standing in front of him, casting a large shadow on his face, and his heart almost flew out of his throat in fright.
He hurriedly pushed Zhou's hand: "Why did you come here like this, hurry up and get your hair right, I just said it, what are you in a hurry." β
Zhou was pushed by him several times before sitting back down, continuing to untie his hair, glaring at him while untying it: "You hurry up!" β
Chen Shiliang had no choice but to say: "Today, Wang Yushi impeached the Su family for being arrogant and domineering, and she is not worthy ......of being the princess of Qin."
As soon as he said this, he was interrupted by Zhou: "He didn't make a mistake in impeachment, and the impeachment of the girl of the Su family has nothing to do with our Wan'er?" β
Chen Shiliang glared at her helplessly: "You listened to me!" After Wang Yushi was impeached, His Majesty announced that Su Jing would enter the palace and let him confront Wang Yushi.
Who knew that Su Jing was very insidious and shameless, not only said in front of His Majesty and the civil and military officials, but also said that we Wan'er pushed his sister into the water, and ......"
Zhou's face turned blue with anger, and he asked dissatisfiedly: "That's nonsense!" What else did he say? β
Chen Shiliang's expression was painful, his hands grabbed the quilt hard, and the green tendons on the back of his hands were rising: "He also said that our Wan'er admires King Qin, and is dissatisfied that Su's daughter was elected as the princess of Qin, so he pushed her into the water!" β
"He's spewing blood!" Zhou was so angry that he trembled, and the whole person stood up, "What kind of person is King Qin?" He is such a violent and murderous person, how could Wan'er like it? β
"Of course he's spewing blood! Ke Wan'er lived in the East Palace for several days! King Jin took the opportunity to climb the prince! β
Chen Shiliang's face trembled, "Didn't you see it, Your Majesty's face was dark at that time!" Just say it, let Wan'er prepare for marriage at home with peace of mind! Your Majesty, this is to forbid Wan'er's feet!
You remember for me, from today onwards, you must let Wan'er stay at home, and you are not allowed to go anywhere before you get married! β
"No wonder the crown princess sent Wan'er back in a hurry." Zhou Shi was stunned and said, "Wan'er has been wronged!" She didn't do anything wrong, how could she suffer such a sin? The girl of the Su family ......"
"Shut up!" Chen Shiliang was afraid that she would say something ugly, so he hurriedly interrupted her, "The daughter of the Su family is still the fiancΓ©e of King Qin, you remember it for me!" No more nonsense in the future! β
Your Majesty has already spoken, and it is clear that they are facing the Su family, if they continue to make trouble, they will only completely annoy Your Majesty.
When the time comes, the fate of the Chen family ......
Chen Shiliang seemed to see the large patch of blood at the entrance of the vegetable market again.
He shuddered with fright, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty and the Queen Mother also gave the Su family a reward, so that she was shocked, what does this mean, you should understand without me saying it." β
Zhou's eyes were red with grief and indignation, and he gritted his teeth.
This world is so unfair!
That Su Jinli beat her daughter, and His Majesty and the Queen Mother are still protecting her!
If Emperor Huiwen is still there, where can the Su family be arrogant!
