Chapter Eighty-Three: What About People?
Ruan Mianmian stood aside with his hand on the table, held his heart and calmed down, then picked up the teapot on the table and drank a few sips of tea, and then suddenly turned his head and smiled at the silkworm cocoon that kept writhing on the ground, the beads on his head trembled, and the woman who saw it skipped a beat in her heart, and asked in horror: "You... What are you doing? ”
Ruan Mianmian smiled: "I don't do anything... I was frightened just now, I didn't know what good drama my sister sang for a while, I just watched it, but now that my sister is done, let Mianmian take it for you. ”
Then, she cleared her throat, and three seconds later, the entire audience and busy workers who were eating at Yipinxiang stopped what they were doing and looked towards the same place, because they heard that Ruan Mianmian's room, which was originally quiet, suddenly came out with a sharp scream, which shook the courtyard silently, and people looked at each other and gathered in front of the door, not knowing what to do.
Originally, the people who were a pint of incense immediately became alert, and they could naturally hear that it was Ruan Mianmian's voice, and Ruan Mianmian was so docile and lovely, she usually spoke in a milky voice, and she had never had such a gaffe sound. Mu Ruqing, Liu Xin'er, and Ruan Bai rushed to the front from the front hall, and Uncle Hua and Wang Xun also hurried out of the kitchen, wearing half-new aprons around their waists, and they didn't even have time to put down the spoon in their hands.
Mu Ruqing didn't care about any occasion, even if the game was disrupted, it was not as important as the safety of his family, so he pushed aside the people who were blocking in front of him, turned his shoulders sideways, and slammed open the closed door in one fell swoop, looking at the situation in the room, he didn't even walk in.
The moment the door opened, the onlookers immediately took a step forward, all wanting to see what was going on inside, Liu Xin'er had a temper and a cool personality, and immediately rushed in to search for Ruan Mianmian's figure, only to see Ruan Mianmian curled up and squatting under the hanger at the base of the wall, tears falling down as if she didn't want money, her eyes were red and her eyes were dull, as if she was frightened by something.
Liu Xin'er hurriedly rushed over, helped Ruan Mianmian who was trembling up, looked back and forth, left and right, and made sure that she was not hurt, then put down a hanging heart, helped Ruan Mianmian, who was stiff, to sit on the seat, and poured her another cup of tea.
At this moment, the distinguished guests on the second floor naturally heard it, but they were hindered by their identities, or they didn't figure out what the situation was, so they didn't show up, but they all invariably sent an inconspicuous little maid to inquire below, to see what the situation was, and to improvise.
The scream was also heard in the emperor's chamber, and immediately out of thin air appeared two men dressed in strong suits and masked faces, silently landing on the left and right sides, their sharp eyes like eagles searching for food, probing the slightest bit of wind and grass around them, and the other person pressed his back against the door, blocking the only place with his body that communicated with the outside.
Jiang Xinyue recognized the voice, and saw that Mu Ruqing and the others had already knocked on the door and entered, so she couldn't help but feel anxious, and stood up with her hands on the table, but was gently pressed on the shoulder by Concubine Lan on the side, signaling her to sit back again. But where did she sit, seeing that something happened to the sleeper who was used to being pampered in the palm of her hand, she was like an ant on a hot pot, but the emperor didn't speak, she really couldn't take it upon herself to go down to save people, so she could only keep looking and trying to see the situation.
The emperor glanced at him and said, "Don't worry, it'll be fine, sleep safely." Then he glanced at the elusive guard behind him and gave her a look.
With the emperor's words, her heart calmed down a lot, the emperor can say with such certainty, there must be a basis, although she didn't say anything during this time, but watched all kinds of secret guards and ghosts come and go, from time to time to report something to him, although he sat here eating and drinking tea, gossiping, but he was already in control of the situation. But this also made her have some thoughts in her heart that shouldn't have appeared, it must not be a good thing for Mianmian to encounter, if the emperor knew about it early on, but didn't say it, let it happen, it would be the most ruthless emperor's family, not to mention the county lord who has no blood relationship like himself and Mianmian.
Yipinxiang everyone entered the room, and the others crowded outside the door, seeing the frightened Ruan Mianmian's pitiful appearance, and noticed the woman wrapped in curtains twisting and twisting on the floor in the room, and couldn't figure out what the situation was for a while, so she could only wait for Ruan Mianmian's mood to calm down a little and speak, as for the woman, she was wrapped in thick curtains, and her nose was completely airtight, and she could only make a strange scream, as if she was very angry.
Ruan Mianmian leaned on Liu Xin'er's arms, as soon as her eyes opened, a small teardrop slipped down her eyelashes, and then she opened her mouth weakly.
"I... I'm fine, I'm worried about you..."
"Mianmian, what happened, how did this person get in? Don't cry, don't cry, say it slowly. Liu Xin'er fed her with a water cup again, looking at Ruan Mianmian's pitiful appearance, she almost cried distressedly.
"I'm really tired at noon today, so I thought about going back to my room to squint for a while, who knows... I was so frightened that I hurriedly hid, but when she saw that she couldn't get close to me, she took off her clothes and framed me, and said something I didn't understand, saying that there were people above her, and she was not afraid that I would report to the official. “
"Then I was frightened and wanted to rush out of the room to find someone to save me, but I ran too eagerly and tore the curtains, and she chased after her and the curtains just blocked her face and wrapped her, so I tied her with the curtains, but I still feel that I have no strength in my body, if you come a little later, you will die in sleep."
Ruan Mianmian is worthy of being a material for eating and broadcasting, and she choked for a while before she finished speaking, three points true and seven points false, but now she has the only right to speak, even if the woman has not done it, if she says it, she will inevitably check it, and how can the people behind him hide it when the time comes. Since she used this method to ruin people's reputation and reputation, she will use more means, and she will not suffer after all.
Now that she has gradually calmed down, she also understands the purpose of this woman's behavior, the fireworks woman is like sludge, if she appears in the room of the county lord who has not yet decided to marry and is seen in disheveled, it will definitely damage her reputation, and the people love these gossip and talk about it the most, and it will spread all over the capital in less than a day, and all kinds of speculation that is more ugly than this will also spread.
With such a high-profile day to do such a thing, it seems that the people behind her are trying to pull Ruan Mianmian and even the entire Yipinxiang into the water.
Mu Ruqing also understood Ruan Mianmian's meaning at this moment, that is, to make things bigger, only by throwing stones into the water, the fish would have nothing to hide, so he also made a panicked look, and immediately ordered Ruan Bai: "Go quickly, presumably the officers and soldiers of the Soldiers and Horses Division outside are still there, begging them to send some people to investigate this matter thoroughly, and also to find out where this person came from and who instructed it." ”
Ruan Bai went out in response, and it was not very difficult to see that the lively people were making way for her, and at this time, a voice in the crowd suddenly shouted: "Boss Mu, I was eating by the stairs in the courtyard, how did I see a maid dressed in fancy clothes coming down from the second floor into Miss Ruan's room, is it this person?" ”
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the crowd immediately boiled because of this matter, who are the people in the wings on the second floor, they are all aristocratic figures, and the common people don't see much in the first place, once they are related to these people, it will be even more talkative.
When the people in the box on the second floor heard this, although they were still calm and did not respond outside, their thoughts were different.
The easternmost chamber was the most mysterious, and no one inside them ever came out, and even the door was rarely opened. At this time, a man in a purple brocade robe habitually raised the tail of his eyes, his eyes swept obliquely over the crowd below, and he threw the chopsticks in his hand on the table casually with some irritability: "It's all waste, such things can't be done well, and people can see it, this king can't stay here, come on, take me out." As he spoke, he was about to stand up, shaking his shoulders with an unhappy face: "It's a pity that the people who taste this fragrance are disgusting, and the dishes they cook taste really good. ”
A chubby man next to him also immediately got up and complimented: "The prince is broad-minded, and even the dishes made by the enemy are calmly swallowed. ”
King Qi's face softened a little, it seemed that the Yizhong Marquis was right, and his tone changed to his usual appearance: "You are here to watch the movements for this king, and call the secret guard to report to me at any time, if someone inquires, no matter when you deny it, no one can convict you based on just one side." ”
King Qi ordered these things, and was waiting for the people outside to come in, but found that there was no response at all, and the anger that had just been suppressed rushed up again, and he was going out to see what the group of dog slaves were doing. Or the housekeeper was rational and restrained, and hurriedly stopped him: "No, Lord Wang, you are already very careful when you come here today, you must not go out to show your face, the room is either rich or expensive, and the slaves who follow cannot guarantee that they have not seen you, if you go out and let someone with a heart seize the handle, and you will despise the grace of heaven, it will be difficult to clean up when you leave the house during the lockdown period." ”
King Qi sat down at this time: "Yes, those people in the palace, yes, they still have to pick bones in the eggs, just go and see what a few little rabbit cubs are doing outside, and they are not waiting in front of you." ”
The housekeeper agreed again and again, hurriedly covered his face with a handkerchief, and carefully opened a crack in the door to look out, but he panicked at this time, the corridor outside was empty, half a figure could not be seen, and even the people waiting outside the other side rooms were gone, and he couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he hurried into the room and closed the door.
