Chapter Twenty-Four: In Prison
There is a custom in Lancheng that if the master's family agrees with the servant, the highest praise is to put the family's surname on the servant's head.
Only those who are extremely appreciated by the owner's family can be treated like this.
"Let Steward Qi and Xiao Guizi worry, just met an acquaintance, so I went over to chat a few words, went to their house to drink a cup of tea, and before I knew it, the sky was dark."
Ye Ying had a smile on her face, as if she had just finished chatting with her friends, and her happy expression couldn't be hidden.
When the little nobleman saw the master, he knelt down: "Master, you can frighten the little one, you quickly put this thing away, see your belongings, the small one is still ...... The small ones thought you were ......."
Ye Ying saw the object in Xiao Guizi's hand, her eyes darkened, and then she said casually: "You see how I am so careless, such a precious thing can be left behind, thank you, little Guizi." Hurry up, this makes Steward Qi look at it, and he thinks how hard I treat you. ”
As he spoke, he took the sachet in Xiao Guizi's hand and stuffed it into Qu Linglong's hand beside him.
Xiao Guizi hurriedly stood up and looked at Steward Qi with some embarrassment.
After coming into contact with Steward Qi's smiling gaze, his head lowered.
Steward Qi no longer teased the little nobleman, but said: "It's not too early, let's go home quickly, it is estimated that the old lady is still waiting at this time." ”
The old lady was indeed waiting for news at this time, waiting for them to go back and tell her the news that Ye Ying really couldn't find it.
But he didn't expect to see Ye Ying stepping into the door in the next second.
The old lady's face was the same as the palette, and all of a sudden it turned red and white.
Didn't you hear from the people who came back early that the young lady really couldn't find it?
Why did the kung fu man come back after less than a pillar of incense?
Ye Ying's eyesight was not problematic, so the disappointment on the old lady's face fell on Ye Ying's eyes at once, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a trace of mockery.
Aren't so many people not wanting her to have a good time?
Then she just wants everyone to see how she Ye Ying is alive.
Back in the room, Qu Linglong waited for Ye Ying to change clothes and wash.
She still had some palpitations when she remembered the events of the afternoon: "Madam, do we really want to hide it from everyone?" They obviously came prepared, and I heard it this afternoon, and they were trying to blackmail you into cooperating with them. ”
Qu Linglong's grievances in the tone made people think that it was not Ye Ying who was threatened today, but her.
Ye Ying's whole body was nested in the bucket, the water temperature was just right, and her whole body relaxed while lying here.
Thinking about the events of the afternoon, my mind cleared up a little.
Sure enough, Qi Muyuan left, and those people hiding in the shadows finally wanted to get out of the cave.
But it was inevitable that he couldn't hold his breath, Qi Muyuan just walked on the front foot.
Seeing that Ye Ying didn't speak, she remembered the sachet she handed to herself just now: "Madam, what happened to the sachet you handed me when I came back?" ”
Xiao Guizi said that it was Mrs. 's, but when Mrs. was bathing just now, she clearly saw that Mrs. 's sachet was hanging on her body.
glanced at the sachet in Linglong's hand, and his eyes darkened.
Regardless of the fact that his body was still wet, he directly stretched out his hand and took the things in Linglong's hand.
It was dismantled in three or two clicks, and the contents were just as she thought.
Suddenly, he threw the things in his hand out, and the petals and herbs were scattered all over the ground.
Qu Linglong was taken aback by Ye Ying's movements, and saw that those things were scattered beside her: "Madam......"
Ye Ying closed her eyes and returned to the water: "Do you know why this sachet appeared in Xiao Guizi's hand?" Her face was calm, but Qu Linglong could see that Madame was in a worse mood.
"The slave doesn't know, but the thing that makes the lady unhappy must not be a good thing!"
Qu Linglong's idea is very simple, their wife is so kind and understanding, if it makes her angry, it will definitely not be a good thing.
Ye Ying was amused by Linglong's childlike tone: "Okay, it's been soaked for so long, help me bring my clothes." I'll go to Ye's house with me tomorrow, and by the way, bring the two bodyguards given by the general. ”
Qu Linglong said while taking clothes for Ye Ying: "Okay madam, even if you don't specifically order it, if we go out again in the future, I will definitely let the two of us follow inseparable." ”
She didn't want to be a manager again.
"But madam, their house is even bigger than our general's mansion, and the ornaments and slaves can be seen to be the best. You don't have to think about it to know that it's a rich family. ”
Qu Linglong thought that in the entire Lancheng, the Ye family and the General's Mansion were a good match, and they were even better than the Ye family and the General's Mansion, and she couldn't remember whose family it was after living here for so long.
"Do you know who invited us over for 'tea' today?" Ye Ying said as she got dressed.
Qu Linglong shook her head: "The slave doesn't recognize it." ”
In the next second, a few words came out of Ye Ying's mouth: "Do you know Mrs. Wang in the court?" ”
Qu Linglong gasped: "Is that the lady Wang who fascinated the emperor?" "Did you go to Mrs. Wang's house in the afternoon? No wonder it's so luxurious, but doesn't it mean that Mrs. Wang's house is from the south? How can there be a mansion here?
Ye Ying pretended to be mysterious and said to Qu Linglong again: "Then you must not know that Wang Mianzhi of the current dynasty is Mrs. Wang's younger brother." ”
Qu Linglong's mouth couldn't close in surprise: "What? Lord Wang Mianzhi actually has a relationship with Mrs. Wang? And blood relations? ”
One is an important minister of the dynasty, who can often reverse the emperor's opinion in a few words, and Mrs. Wang is even more powerful, it is said that what Mrs. Wang wants, the emperor will send it without blinking an eye.
The weight of these two people in the emperor's heart is estimated to be more than that of the queen.
"Then tie ...... today No, is it Mrs. Wang or Lord Wang Mianzhi who invited us over for tea? "It is said that Lord Wang Mianzhi is suave and talented, and it is difficult for many women to see Lord Wang.
Ye Ying sat on the bed: "Is there a difference?" ”
If it weren't for Mrs. Wang getting the news in the palace, how could there be this now?
Qu Linglong didn't understand, but seeing Ye Ying's appearance, she didn't seem to plan to continue to explain, so she put down the bed curtain and took the candle away.
Ye Ying was lying on the bed, all that flashed in her mind was this afternoon's conversation, and she had to say that the other party knew what she couldn't let go of the most, so she dared to use her weaknesses to talk about conditions.
Wang Mianzhi's meaningful smile appeared in Ye Ying's mind, this person is really annoying as always!
