Chapter 34: The Grievances of the Two Families
"Mingran, why are you able to go in?" An Lanwei and Princess Run stood at the gate of the prison, pointing at Ming Ran and asking loudly.
Ming Ran was dizzy, she raised her eyes and glanced at An Lanwei, stretched out her hand to support her forehead, and was supported by Fuyue to support a few people who bypassed the door.
An Lanwei was furious, and took two steps in front of Ming Ran, blocking her way.
"Why could she go in?" An Lanwei stopped in front of Ming Ran with one hand and roared at the non-commissioned officer at the door.
"County Lord, Miss Ming has the permission of King Chen to go in, you and Princess Run do not have a warrant, and you can't let in with the princess."
Ming Ran hooked his lips and smiled, "Can the county lord let me go?" ”
An Lanwei looked at Ming Ran with her eyes on fire, and was reluctant to let her go.
Princess Run looked at Ming Ran's slightly drunk appearance, this was the daughter-in-law she was optimistic about at the beginning, in her eyes, Ming Ran was enough to become the princess of her Runwang Mansion no matter her family background or appearance.
But now that her son was arrested and imprisoned by King Chen in the Hou Mansion, and her daughter was framed by the Hou Mansion for poisoning, the Runwang Mansion is also a palace that has been attacked for generations, how can a Hou Mansion be teased like this.
These two accounts must be recovered from the Hou Mansion in the future.
"Alright, Wei'er, let Miss Ming go." Princess Run turned to look inside the prison.
"Mother-" An Lanwei stamped her foot and shouted.
Mingran reached out and pushed her away, and walked down without looking back.
As soon as he stepped into the carriage, Ming Ran fell asleep on the moon and fell asleep.
The sky gradually darkened, and the room was filled with dim yellow colors.
Ming Ran opened her eyes, immediately lifted the quilt and walked to the wooden table and poured a cup of tea, drank it all, she sat on the stool and supported her forehead.
She was about to go back to the couch and lie down again, when she suddenly saw Mrs. Ming sitting on the soft couch, looking at her without saying a word.
"Mother, why don't you speak, scare me." She said as she walked to the couch.
Mrs. Ming glanced at Ming Ran and said solemnly: "Today, Mu Xu Muyang and your eldest aunt came to see you, but they saw that you were drunk and returned home. ”
Mingran picked up the hand of the pastry and chuckled, "Is my aunt gone?" ”
"Seeing that you are alive and healthy, and you can still drink, they have nothing to worry about, so they naturally left."
Mingran smiled silly and took a bite of the pastry.
Mrs. Ming stared at Ming Ran for a long time, and sighed: "Ran'er, have you forgotten what your mother said to you before?" ”
Ming Ran frowned and thought about it, and shook his head, "What's that?" ”
"Didn't my mother say that you should stop having dealings with the son."
Ming Ran finished the pastry and sat on the soft couch, "Mother, do you know something?" ”
She remembered that Mrs. Ming was very satisfied with An Xuqiao in the past, and it seemed that she had matched her with An Xuqiao, when did Mrs. Ming change her attitude towards An Xuqiao and began to oppose her dealings with him.
It seems that on the first day of the new year, Mrs. Ming went back to the Rongguo Mansion, and she was not allowed to see An Xuqiao again after returning home.
Mrs. Ming looked at her seriously, "The prince was taken away in the Hou Mansion this time, do you know why no one stopped him?" An Lanwei instructed people to poison her, and her mother sent your eldest brother to confront her without any evidence, do you know why? ”
Mingran shook his head in confusion.
"You were friends with the prince before, and everyone in the capital knew about it, and what happened in the past two days was to draw a clear line with the Runwang Mansion, and to let everyone know that my Hou Mansion and the Runwang Mansion have broken up."
After Mrs. Ming finished speaking in one breath, she picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
Ming Ran was stunned for a long time, "What did my mother hear?" ”
Mrs. Ming hesitated for a while before saying, "King Run's private minting of copper coins in the frontier is suspected of rebellion. ”
Ming Ran was completely stunned at the moment.
Mrs. Ming persuaded her bitterly: "Dye'er, no matter how deep your friendship with the prince is, you must cut off contact with him now." ”
Mingran stared at the candle flame on the tall wooden shelf, "Then An Xuqiao can't get out?" ”
Mrs. Ming couldn't bear to see her lost appearance, so she just looked at her quietly and was silent.
Ming Ran tugged at the corners of his mouth, "Mother, I ......"
She didn't know how to express the guilt in her heart, An Xuqiao was the only friend she had come to this place, and he accommodated him and tolerated her.
In front of her, An Xuqiao didn't have a bit of worldly style, she got into trouble, he took it, and he remembered every word of what she said.
Such a person who is really good to her, but she can't do anything, she can only watch him in prison, and there is nothing she can do.
Mrs. Ming got up from the soft couch, walked to Ming Ran and sat down, and said softly: "Today, the Queen Mother sent someone from the palace to let you enter the palace in the next two days, and the Queen Mother wants to hold a palace banquet for you in the palace, so she should make up for you." ”
Ming Ran put away his sadness and asked puzzledly: "Reissue and ceremony?" ”
Mrs. Ming pursed her lips and smiled: "Because you were still in a coma on that day, my mother did not do it for you, so the Queen Mother decided to make up for it in the palace." ”
After speaking, she stroked her dyed hair with a smile, and sighed with emotion: "My dyed child has grown up." ”
Mingran leaned lightly on her shoulder and kept silent.
After Mrs. Ming left, Ming Ran lay on the couch and tossed and turned.
She got up lightly and walked out the door.
Fuyue came over with a food box, "Miss, this is a golden silk cake from Madame's kitchen." ”
"Put it in, I don't need it." She walked slowly to the gazebo and watched the sky getting darker and darker.
The peach trees in the yard have already bloomed a little flower, and the petals are falling in the breeze.
Ming Ran stretched out his hand to catch a petal that blew into the pavilion, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Last year, when the peach blossoms were in full bloom, it was An Xuqiao who accompanied her around and made her happy.
"Miss, let's have a bowl of sobering soup." Fuyue walked over with a white jade porcelain bowl.
Ming Ran took the porcelain bowl and drank it with his head up.
Fuyue stood in the pavilion and hesitated, and thought for a long time before making up her mind: "Miss, the slave maid has found something. ”
"What?"
Fuyue walked to Mingran's side and said: "Zhuqing and the slave maid have been serving by the young lady's side since they were children, her temperament is indeed inappropriate, the slave and maid don't know what Zhuqing has done, but please Miss Nian for her many years of service, forgive her once." ”
Ming Ran sat down on the stone bench, "Do you know that I sent Zhuqing to the stable?" ”
"The slave doesn't know."
"I was lost in the forest before, my horse was drugged, and the person who went with me to pick the horse that day was Zhuqing, and before I was tied to the boat by the eldest princess, I received a letter from the eldest princess.
Ming Ran sighed softly, looked at Fuyue and said, "But that day, she didn't go to report to her mother. ”
Fuyue was surprised, and she couldn't speak for a long time, could it be that the usually lively and timid woman betrayed her master?
"Miss, the slave didn't know that Zhuqing had committed such a big crime."
Zhuqing has been serving by Mingran's side since she was a child, and Fuyue can't figure out what reason she would have to betray Miss.
"There must have been someone behind Zhuqing, and when I asked her that day, she didn't say anything, so I sent her to the stable."
When Fuyue heard this, she said firmly: "Miss, please rest assured, the people behind Zhuqing, the slave and maid will go to investigate in detail." ”
Mingran nodded, "Remember, don't startle the snake." ”
