"Come on, pass on the chief steward!"
Li Chuanying looked at Duanmu Fei and groaned for a moment, then raised his voice decisively, the corners of his mouth pursed into a straight line, and the whole person was as firm as a rock.
After a rush of footsteps and echoes, the chief steward of the Li family personally led people to Jingzhao Mansion to report to the official.
When the footsteps were far away, the hall and the hall were quiet, without a sound, and the atmosphere was slightly condensed.
Duanmu looked at the black coffin outside the hall, his black eyes were clear and clear, like ink jade soaked in water.
She could roughly guess the Xu family's thoughts, Wu Ninghou ruthlessly killed the Xu family, and deliberately transported the body back to the Li family in such a grand manner, probably to tell the Li family-
Xu Shisheng is the Li family, and death is the ghost of the Li family!
Even if a person dies, the Xu family will be buried in the ancestral grave of their Li family, and the Li family doesn't want to get rid of the relationship with the "Su Wang Rebellion Case", let alone drag their Xu family into the water!
Duanmu scarlet lowered his eyes slightly, and under his thick long eyelashes, there was a slight shadow at the bottom of his eyes.
Now this Marquis Wu Ning's heart is really ruthless!
In fact, it was impossible for her to involve the Xu family in the case of rebellion, the crime was unforgivable, and it affected the nine clans, including the Li family, which was the in-law.
Therefore, Duanmufei was just scaring the Xu family at first, wanting to cause the Xu family to start infighting.
Unexpectedly, in order to drag the Li family into the water, the Marquis of Wuning simply killed the Xu family ruthlessly, wanting to restrain the Li family with this......
But it's a pity, she will never let Wu Ninghou get her wish! A cold streamer flashed in Duanmufei's eyes.
In the hall, everyone had different thoughts, and let the silence spread, until half an hour later, the Li house was noisy again, and there was a messy and rapid sound of horses' hooves outside the house, which was getting closer and louder......
After another moment, a middle-aged man wearing a red official uniform and a goatee came with a dozen yacha strides, and the momentum was impressive.
Duanmu Fei still remembers this middle-aged man, and the other party is Jing Zhao Yin Liu Qifang, who she once had a relationship with in the fragrant tea shop last year.
But Liu Qifang didn't care about Duanmu Fei, his eyes couldn't help but fall on the lifeless black lacquer coffin outside the hall, and he was shocked.
Just now, the chief steward sent by the Li family to Jingzhao Mansion to report the case only said that the Li family had a murder case, and Liu Qifang thought that the Li family had been prosperous recently, so he came in person.
Now it seems that the Li family has collected the bodies of the deceased, which is probably not just an ordinary murder!
Liu Qifang's heart tightened, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and a bad premonition vaguely rose in his heart.
He reluctantly settled down, continued to walk forward, walked all the way into the hall, and bowed politely to Li Xi at the top and Li Chuanying at the bottom: "Chief Li Bing, Admiral Li, the lower official is polite." β
Li Xi said lightly: "Lord Liu is very polite. β
Then, Li Chuanying stood up, hugged his fists at Liu Qifang and said: "Lord Liu, ......" Li Chuanying's eyes were red, and there was a faint light in his eyes, and he seemed to be grief-stricken.
The bad premonition in Liu Qifang's heart became even stronger.
Sure enoughβ
I heard Li Chuanying continue in a deep voice: "My Li family has been stationed in Minzhou for eight years, and I haven't been to Beijing for a long time. β
As he spoke, Li Chuanying's voice choked slightly, and his eyes became even redder, "Lord Liu, our husband and wife have always respected each other for more than ten years, and we have never blushed...... I didn't expect this person to walk out of here well, but he was carried back in this way! β
When Liu Qifang heard this, he was even more shocked, he didn't expect that the corpse lying in the coffin was actually Mrs. Li.
Liu Qifang cleared his throat and said, "Admiral Li, this official must do his best to find out the truth and give his wife justice!" β
"Then everything will be entrusted to Lord Liu." Li Chuanying solemnly clenched his fists again, his eyes flashing with grief.
There is a saying that men don't flick when they have tears, but it's not time to be sad. Liu Qifang sighed secretly in his heart, and then walked to the black coffin with two or three yacha.
Li Chuanying wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with his fingers, and made a gesture to signal Liu Qifang to be casual.
With a rough grinding sound, the two yacha worked together to remove half of the heavy coffin lid, revealing a female corpse lying in the coffin.
It's not hot now, and people have died not long ago, and they don't smell anything.
Xu Shi lay quietly in the coffin, her complexion was pale, and she was still wearing her purple peony tuanhua carved silk gown, and her hands were folded on her abdomen.
Her face was purple-blue, her blood-soaked eyes bulged out hideously, as if she were dead, and her slender neck was bruised......
Even if there was no work here, Liu Qifang and several yacha present could see at a glance that the Xu family was strangled to death.
There was silence all around.
The spring breeze in February blew gently, and the flowers and trees in the courtyard danced with the wind, rustling, and everyone was blown cold.
Liu Qifang felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand up all of a sudden, cleared his throat and asked, "Admiral Li, this coffin and Mrs. Ling are ......?"
"It was sent back by someone from the Marquis of Wuning's mansion." Li Chuanying said slowly, with an indescribable depression in his voice.
Liu Qifang made a gesture to the two yachas, and asked them to close the coffin lid back, and his mind was racing:
Xu went back to his mother's Wuning Hou Mansion this morning, but was strangled to death, could it be that Xu encountered bandits on the way back to his parents' home?
Wrong!
Liu Qifang immediately denied this speculation, the Marquis of Wuning's mansion is also in the capital, and the Xu family has not left the city at all, if she met bandits in the capital and was strangled to death by him, then I'm afraid that I, Jing Zhaoyin, will not be able to keep the black yarn hat on my head......
Wait a minute!
The corpse and coffin of the Xu family were sent back to the Li Mansion by the Marquis of Wuning, could it be the killer of the Xu family?!
Liu Qifang chuckled in his heart, and his heart sank, and he felt more and more that this case was not so easy to handle......
Even if there is no bottom in my heart, this procedure still has to be taken.
Liu Qifang froze and asked again with trepidation: "Admiral Li, can you tell this official about today's incident?" β
Li Chuanying took a deep breath, his eyes were dark and deep, and he said slowly in a difficult voice: "Today, I happily went back to my parents' house early in the morning, and I said goodbye, and I will come back soon to have dinner with my two nieces." I didn't expect to wait for this bad news......"
Li Chuanying glanced at the coffin again, and his eyes turned even redder, "More than half an hour ago, the servant sent by the Marquis of Wuning said that he was unwell and suddenly died!" β
Li Chuanying gritted his teeth fiercely, his whole body was as tight as the full bowstring, "They are clearly under the guise of our Li family association that 'family ugliness cannot be publicized'?!" β¦β¦ This is my wife, how can I sit back and watch her die unjustly! β
Hearing this, Liu Qifang was almost as big as a fight, and he didn't dare to say anything to death, so he could only comforted him euphemistically: "Admiral Li, don't worry, this official will personally go to the Marquis of Wuning's mansion to inquire about the situation, and will never act hastily." β
With Liu Qifang's many years of experience in handling cases, in fact, the truth has been revealed, but if the Li family and the Marquis of Wuning really start a lawsuit, this case is not something that his little Jing Zhaoyin can try!
"Admiral Li, maybe there may be some misunderstanding here." Liu Qifang persuaded with luck.
"Misunderstanding?!" Li Chuanying smiled coldly, his eyes instantly burst out like a sharp mang, and he gritted his teeth and swore an oath, "Even if the contemptible person sues the Jinluan Palace, he will let the murderer pay for his blood debt!" Although our Li family has been stationed in Minzhou for a long time, we can't tolerate others being bullied like this! β
The air around me seemed to be much colder again.
Liu Qifang only felt a coldness all over his body, and Li Chuanying's words obviously revealed a bit of warning, warning him not to shield the Marquis of Wuning's mansion.
"Admiral Li, don't worry," Liu Qifang hurriedly assured while wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, "This official will definitely deal with it impartially!" The truth will definitely be revealed! β
"Then my Li family will believe in the adults once." Li Chuanying said lightly.
After Liu Qifang exchanged a few more words, he left with a sigh of sorrow, and even Xu's coffin was transported away, intending to bring it back to the government for an inquest.
At this moment, the sun has set halfway, and the day is almost over.
But for Liu Qifang, today has just begun, and next, he has to go to the Marquis of Wuning Mansion again......
The people of Jingzhao Mansion came and walked in a mighty way.
When Liu Qifang and his party walked away, the hall fell into a deathly silence again.
Duanmu Fei looked at the coffin that was gradually moving away without blinking, his eyes were as deep as the sea, and he was as secretive as deep.
The people of the Marquis of Wuning Mansion are really smart, they thought that by killing the Xu family, they could drag the Li family into the water, but they didn't think that they also left another handle at the same time-
Homicide.
Since ancient times, murder pays for life, and debts are repaid. Unlike "rebellion", this is a lever that can be justifiably taken out.
It was also handed over by the Xu family himself!
The Li family is now receiving holy favors, and Jingzhao Mansion will definitely pay attention to this "case".
"Zhen Zhen ......" At this time, Duanmujun called softly, and Duanmufei withdrew his gaze and looked at her.
Duanmu Jun winked at Duanmu Fei, and the two sisters exchanged a knowing look, and then stood up at the same time.
"Grandfather, uncle, it's not early, today Zhen Zhen and I will say goodbye first, and come back another day to say goodbye to my grandfather and uncle." Duanmu blessed his body and said goodbye.
The sunset is about to set, and the Xu family has just died, so it is conceivable that there will be a lot of things for the Li family in the future.
Li Chuanying didn't keep them anymore, and instructed Li Tingyou: "Tingyou, you can send your two cousins back to Shangshu Mansion." β
Li Tingyou stood up and responded, "Yes, uncle." β
In the next moment, Feng Yan also stood up, arched his hand casually, and said goodbye: "Chief Li, Admiral Li, since there is something in the house, then I won't bother anymore." β
Feng Yan's words were extremely decent at first glance, however, when Li Xi, who was the first, heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched, and his face was a little weird.
When something like this happened to the Li family, he had already hinted that Feng Yan could leave first, but he didn't know if Feng Yan really didn't understand, or if he deliberately pretended not to understand, and stayed until now.
Heyβ
Li Xi sighed faintly in his heart, anyway, the Li family already has such a big handle in Feng Yan's hands, it doesn't matter if there is one more or less.
After a while, Feng Yan and Li Tingyou escorted the Duanmu family's carriage out of the Li Mansion and drove in the direction of Quanyu Street......
The sun had set a little more, and the twilight was thicker.
The streets of the capital are empty, and the cars are speeding unimpeded, and it is leisurely.
"Gotta ......"
In the crisp and loud sound of horses' hooves, Li Tingyou sighed with some regret: "Ah Yan, there is something at home today, I will ask you and Ah Ran to try the horse another day!" β
Feng Yan was thinking about what excuse to use to invite Zhen Zhen to come over, and said casually: "Ah Ran may not be available recently, he is busy as a nurse." β
Li Tingyou was stunned at first, then he thought of something, his eyes lit up, and he asked, "Ah Yan, could it be that the little foal of Benxiao was born?" β
Remembering that Jun Ran had been babbling a few days ago that when the foal was born, he would be going to be a nurse for it, Li Tingyou couldn't help but laugh.
"I was born last night." Speaking of the foal, a little smile flashed in Feng Yan's eyes, "It's rare to give birth to two horses!" β
The vast majority of horses give birth to only one foal per litter, and it is very rare for this litter to give birth to two!
Before the words fell, a corner of the carriage curtain was picked open from the carriage by a white little hand, and a pair of big black and white eyes poked out, looking in the direction of Feng Yan and Benxiao, the big eyes flickering in the afterglow of the setting sun.
"Feng Gongzi, what color is the pony in the sky?" Duanmu asked eagerly.
Feng Yan turned his head to look at Duanmu Fei, his smile was even brighter, and said, "It's the same as Benxiao, it's also black." β
Seeing that Duanmu Fei's eyes were brighter, Feng Yan suddenly blessed his heart, and said with a smile: "One of these two foals is going to be given to Ah Ran, and the other is also a famous horse...... Fourth girl Duanmu, do you want to pick one? β
Duanmufei's eyes widened in disbelief, and Cherry's small mouth opened and closed, as if she couldn't believe the good news, "I...... Can I pick one? β
After a pause, she couldn't help but ask again, "Can I really do it?" β
Feng Yan looked at her cute and expectant little appearance, and his heart felt as sweet as honey, and he almost wanted to take her back to the princess's mansion to see the foal today.
However, he held back and quietly proposed, "The foal has just been born, and it should be able to run very well in two days...... Why don't you come to the princess's mansion in three days to pick up a horse? β
Hearing this, Duanmufei's pupils shone like jewels, and he was about to respond, but he hesitated a little when the words came to his mouth, "However, the foal should be better off following the mare, right?" β
The smile on the corner of Feng Yan's mouth became even stronger, his eyes sparkled, and he said casually: "Raise it with me first." When the pony is half a year old, why don't you bring it back? β
Duanmu Fei said yes repeatedly, nodded desperately, looked at Ben Xiao under Feng Yan's crotch with burning eyes, and swore with his eyes: Ben Xiao, she will definitely treat the foal well!
"Then it's a deal." Feng Yan smiled, feeling more and more proud: he is really smart and understands Zhen Zhen's mind best!
In the future, Vera will often go to the Princess's Mansion when she wants to see the ponies!
The more Feng Yan thought about it, the more he felt that his idea of inspiration was really wonderful.
Listening to Feng Yan and Duanmu Fei talking with great interest, Li Tingyou on the side rode his horse to Feng Yan's side, and couldn't help but interject: "Ah Yan, I also want to go and see the little foal ...... the sky."
Before Li Tingyou's words were finished, he received a contemptuous look from Feng Yan, as if to say, you really have no eyes!
What?! Li Tingyou was stared at by Feng Yan inexplicably and confused.
He had to say something more, but the carriage and horses had already galloped into Quanyu Street, and Shangshufu was in front of him.
"Squeak......
After the corner door on the side of Shangshu Mansion opened, everyone parted ways, Feng Yan rode his horse and galloped away in the direction of the mansion of the eldest princess of Anping, Li Tingyou returned to Xiangyun Lane the same way, and the carriage of Duanmujun and Duanmufei was welcomed into the mansion by the porter.
As the corner gate closed, the high-walled gate isolated the sound of horses' hooves outside, and the sound of horses' hooves faded away, and the sunset also fell lower......
After Duanmujun and Duanmufei got off the carriage at the Yimen, they returned to Zhanqing Courtyard hand in hand.
After going out for most of the day today, Duanmufei was also a little tired, and lazily crooked on a mahogany circle chair by the window in the small study, eating melon seeds, playing chess games, and teasing starlings.
"Quack!"
The little starling still hasn't learned to speak, but his skills are getting more and more flexible.
Duanmufei occasionally came in a mood, so he peeled a melon seed for it and threw it to it, and the little starling flapped his wings and swallowed it into the tender yellow ......beak with a "ahh
The little guy seemed to find it very interesting, and when Duanmufei stopped, he had to "croak" to urge Duanmufei to hurry up.
Duanmujun, who was watching it, couldn't help laughing, and also made fun of it, throwing two melon seeds casually.
The little starling flew up in the house for a while, dived for a while, turned a corner, and didn't drop a single melon seed.
The room reverberated with the crisp laughter of the girls, and it lasted for a long time.
Duanmu Jun worked hard, and after sitting for a while, he stood up and said, "Zhen Zhen, I still have some ......."
Before he finished speaking, the brocade curtain of the folded peony embroidery was turned over, and the wisteria hurriedly came in, and said on his knees: "The eldest girl, the fourth girl, and the second girl are here with Miss Feng." β
Duanmujun and Duanmufei couldn't help but glance at each other, they both knew that the Feng girl in Wisteria's mouth was Feng Congyan.
As soon as the sisters returned to the house just now, someone specially reported that Feng Congyan came to the mansion to visit Duanmuqi today, but the sisters didn't pay much attention to it, after all, they were not familiar with Feng Congyan, and they didn't expect Duanmuqi to take Feng Congyan to Zhanqing Courtyard for some reason.
Duanmufei also stood up, stroked his skirt, and followed Duanmujun to the east room to entertain guests.
After a while, Duanmu Qi and Feng Congyan came one after the other under the guidance of wisteria, one wearing a pomegranate red dress, the other wearing a red dress, the two girls were so delicate that they seemed to be two spring flowers in spring quietly blooming, delicate and beautiful.
The four girls were all equals, and they greeted each other casually.
Then, Duanmujun invited Duanmuqi and Feng Congyan to sit down, and the maid hurriedly served hot tea again, and the fragrance of Tieguanyin like a flower spread with the heat, and the lush flowers and trees outside the window reflected half of the room verdant.
After Feng Congyan took a sip of tea, she looked at Duanmu Fei with a smile, and said her intention straight to the point: "Duanmu Fourth Girl, today I am entrusted by the Jiuhua County Lord, and the county lord said that he wanted to invite Sister Qi and Duanmu Fourth Girl to the Princess's Mansion as guests. β
Jiuhua wants to invite himself to the Changqing Princess's Mansion?! Duanmu raised her eyebrows with interest, a flash of interest flashed in her eyes, but she didn't agree.
Feng Congyan saw that Duanmu Fei was only concerned about drinking tea, and there was no reaction, her beautiful little face showed a trace of anxiety, and she subconsciously pinched the veil, and hurriedly said: "Duanmu Fourth Girl, this matter should have been personally posted by the county lord of Jiuhua to the girl, but the county lord had a slight misunderstanding with the girl before, so this time he deliberately asked me to be a Chinese person, hoping to release the suspicion with the girl." β
Duanmujun on the side listened, his eyebrows raised higher and higher, and his face showed a strange look.
She still clearly remembered that on the twenty-ninth day of the first lunar month, she met Jiuhua near the South City Gate, and at that time she thought that Jiuhua was planning to elope with the surname Naluo, could it be that she guessed wrong?
Feng Congyan quietly pulled Duanmuqi's sleeve, looked at her with a pleading face, and asked her to help persuade Duanmuqi.
Duanmu Qixiu frowned slightly, and said casually: "Fourth sister, the county lord of Jiuhua has taken a step back, and you don't have to be tough anymore, fourth sister, if you let one step go, it will naturally be a sea and a sky." β
"The second sister is wrong!" Duanmu Jun said unceremoniously, his brows furrowed, "What does it mean for one person to take a step?" Zhen Zhen has never taken the initiative to provoke the Jiuhua County Lord, it is clear that the Jiuhua County Lord is brutal by nature, and he is aggressive every time! "It's also because my sister is smart that I wasn't bullied.
The county lord of Jiuhua has a delicate personality, and there is quite a kind of "only me" posture, which is known to everyone in the Beijing lady, and no one knows it, but he is afraid of the eldest princess of Changqing, and no one dares to put this on his lips.
Duanmu Qi turned his head and said, "Whatever you want", and stopped talking.
Feng Congyan's face froze for a moment, and seeing that she couldn't count on Duanmu Qi, she could only go into battle by herself, and persuaded again: "Fourth girl Duanmu, the few times you have met with the county lord of Jiuhua have been wrong, so there will be some misunderstandings." When the girl follows me and Sister Qi to the princess's mansion and talk to the county lord face to face, she will definitely be able to turn the conflict into a jade silk. β
Duanmu tilted his head and looked at Feng Congyan, as if he was still hesitating.
Suddenly, she threw down a sentence lightly: "Miss Feng, I heard that the county lord of Jiuhua is not in the princess's mansion, so where are my second sister and I going to meet the county lord?" β
The county lord of Jiuhua is not in the Changqing Princess's Mansion?! Duanmu Qi blinked when she heard this, and looked at Feng Congyan with a puzzled expression.
Although Jiuhua's surname is Fang, not Mu, he lives with his mother in the Changqing Eldest Princess's Mansion all the year round, and has never had any contact with the Fang family.
If Jiuhua is not in the princess's mansion at the moment, then where is it?
"Sister Yan......" Duanmu Qi called and frowned.
Feng Congyan's pretty face suddenly turned slightly pale, her eyes wandered, and it was even more difficult to hide her panic between the descriptions.
There is a way, and the bystander is clear.
Duanmu Fei understood at a glance that Feng Congyan deliberately wanted to coax her to the princess's mansion. There is also Duanmu Qi, who seems to have been hidden in the drum by Feng Congyan.
So, why did Feng Congyan deliberately drag herself and Duanmu Qi to the Changqing Eldest Princess's Mansion?!
Feng Congyan swallowed her saliva, and was a little apprehensive by Duanmu Fei's bright and innocent eyes, but she still smiled forcefully: "Fourth girl Duanmu, where did you hear this?" How could the county lord of Jiuhua not be in the princess's mansion, the girl and I would naturally know when we went to the princess's mansion to take a look. β
The corners of Duanmu's mouth were crooked, and he didn't accept Feng Congyan's words.
She doesn't think she has that much to spare, but she's very busy, and she'll have to prepare for the colt to meet in a moment.
Duanmu smiled and picked up the teacup, making the appearance of serving tea to send guests, "Come on, send off guests." β
Soon, a little girl in Tsing Yi with a melon seed face walked over with a smile and stretched out her hand to Feng Congyan and Duanmuqi to make an invitation.
Duanmu Fei directly issued an eviction order, and Feng Congyan was so angry that her little face turned red and she was resentful.
Since the soft ones can't work, she simply comes to the hard ones.
Feng Congyan's face also became cold, and she raised her voice and said coldly: "Fourth girl Duanmu, I advise you to think twice." If you don't go and annoy the county lord of Jiuhua, aren't you afraid of causing trouble for your family?! Also, who else will dare to deal with you in this Beijing lady in the future?! β
Poof. Duanmu Fei seemed to have heard some funny joke, she covered her mouth and smiled, her voice was crisp and bright, "Miss Feng, although my Duanmu family is not a relative of the emperor, but it is also a dignified Shangshu Mansion, dare to ask Miss Feng, the lord of Jiuhua County, what does he want to do with the Duanmu family?!" β
"I ......," Feng Congyan said for a while.
Duanmu smiled and said, "As for whether anyone will interact with me in the future, I won't bother Miss Feng to worry about it!" β
This sharp-toothed Duanmu scarf! Feng Congyan's chest rose and fell violently in anger, her mouth opened and closed, and a pair of black apricot eyes glared at Duanmu Fei fiercely.
At this time, another round-faced little maid walked over quickly, and said unceremoniously and directly: "Miss Feng, the slave maid looks at your bad face, so it's better to go home early and ask a doctor to take a look." β
"yes, yes." The little girl with the melon seed face nodded solemnly and echoed, "Miss Feng, since you are unwell, don't go out casually in the future!" β
The two little maids looked at Feng Congyan and helped Feng Congyan, but in fact, they "helped" Feng Congyan out of the house semi-strongly.
Duanmu Qi stared at Feng Congyan's petite back without blinking, and his heart was uncertain.
At this moment, she could also see that something was wrong...... Could it be that Feng Congyan hid something from her?!
Duanmuqi hesitated for a moment, and finally followed Feng Congyan out.
Before the two of them entered the Zhanqing Courtyard, they were kicked out of the courtyard again......
"Rustling ......"
At the beginning of February, the delicate spring flowers have been embellished with branches, the wisps of spring breeze are blowing, and the countless tender yellow flowers are dancing in the wind, the fragrance of the flowers is pleasant, refreshing.
Ren Hua'er is so delicate, Duanmu Qi didn't have the heart to appreciate the flowers at this time, looked at Feng Congyan a few steps away with burning eyes, and asked, "Sister Yan, what's going on?" Is the county lord of Jiuhua in the Changqing Princess's Mansion?! β
Duanmu Qi's eyes were as sharp as a sword, as if he wanted to see through Feng Congyan.
Feng Congyan's eyes flashed, and she straightened her chest and said, "Sister Qi, don't listen to Sister Ling's nonsense......"
"Since you don't want to say it, forget it!" Duanmuqi's little face sank, and she interrupted Feng Congyan with a voice.
According to her, the person who is full of nonsense is Feng Congyan!
Feng Congyan didn't think that he was her puppet and could let her play with it!
A sneer appeared at the corner of Duanmuqi's mouth, and he flicked his sleeves and left unceremoniously.
"Sister Qi!" Feng Congyan was in a hurry, chased after him in three steps and two steps, and grabbed Duanmuqi's sleeve from behind, "Listen to my explanation......"
Duanmu Qi frowned, stopped, and looked at Feng Congyan impatiently, as if he was saying, if you have something to say, say it quickly!
Feng Congyan showed hesitation on her face, pursed her lips, and then said: "Sister Qi, in fact, the county lord of Jiuhua sent someone to send me a summons, asking me to find Sister Qi to go to the princess's mansion......"
As she spoke, Feng Congyan rubbed a pink silk handkerchief in her hand and bit her lower lip.
It wasn't until Duanmuqi was about to leave again that she said abruptly: "...... It's the county lord of Jiuhua, let's inquire and see if a man surnamed Luo is in the princess's mansion......"
Feng Congyan's eyelids were half-lowered, and a fine light flashed quickly at the bottom of her eyes.
What she just said was a half-truth.
Jiuhua sent someone to quietly send her a letter, but the letter asked her to go to the Changqing Princess's Mansion alone. Feng Congyan didn't dare not go, but she was afraid that if she went, if she provoked Changqing, then the unlucky person would definitely be her.
Feng Congyan thought about it, and thought that it would be best to find someone to accompany her, such as Duanmu Fei, who Changqing didn't like.
Feng Congyan thought in her heart that after they went to the princess's mansion, if the situation was not right, she could shift all the responsibility to Duanmufei, so Changqing's anger would naturally be aimed at Duanmufei!
It's just that because she is not familiar with Duanmuqi, she deliberately went around in a circle today and came to Duanmu Qi first.
These words Feng Congyan would rather rot in her stomach than tell Duanmu Qi, she just showed a timid look and smiled flatteringly at Duanmu Qi, "Sister Qi." β
Duanmu Qi unceremoniously waved away Feng Congyan's hand, the anger in her heart became higher and higher, and her pretty face turned red.
I was so stupid that I was fooled by Feng Congyan!
Duanmu Qi stomped his feet angrily, ashamed and annoyed, and said in a stiff tone: "Miss Feng, I have been grounded these days, so I won't go." Please go back first! Duanmuqi also issued an eviction order.
The spring breeze blew the branches around the trees rattling, but the air seemed to fall as if it had fallen suddenly, as if it had entered the harsh winter in an instant.
Feng Congyan pouted pitifully, and her face was pale.
"Sister Qi," she quickly stepped forward and grabbed Duanmu Qi's hand again, shook her hand affectionately, and said in a coquettish tone, "Don't be angry with me!" β¦β¦ Hey, it's not good to blame me, I'm just afraid that if you refuse to go, the county lord of Jiuhua will be angry! β
Feng Congyan deliberately accentuated the tone on the "Jiuhua County Lord", Duanmuqi couldn't help but hesitate a little, and her eyebrows frowned slightly.
Feng Congyan was full of nonsense just now, but there is one sentence that is true, once she annoys the county lord of Jiuhua, I am afraid that the lady in Beijing will avoid her in the future!
Duanmu Qi froze in place, and at this moment, a blue shadow walked out of the Zhanqing courtyard.
Bi Chan looked at both sides, and walked briskly towards the two.
"Second girl," Bi Chan blessed Duanmu Qi, but as if she didn't see Feng Congyan, she said with a smile, "The fourth girl of my family asked the slave maid to tell the second girl, has the second girl forgotten about the 'last time'?" β
Duanmu Qi's face couldn't help but change greatly, and she remembered that Changqing escorted herself to Duanmu Junxing Master in Qianya Garden to ask about her guilt, this matter was her great shame, how could she forget!
Her eyes were as dark as a prelude to a storm.
Bi Chan continued in an orderly manner: "The fourth girl asked the slave maid to tell the second girl that the eldest princess of Changqing and the lord of Jiuhua County are mother and daughter, and the mother and daughter are connected by blood, so it's okay. We are outsiders, once we are involved, the eldest princess of Changqing is reluctant to punish the county lord of Jiuhua, I am afraid that she will have to take out her anger at the 'outsiders'. β
Bi Cicada's words and sentences made Feng Congyan and Duanmuqi's faces more and more ugly, and their thoughts were different.
"Sister Qi......"
Feng Congyan still wanted to persuade her, but Duanmuqi didn't want to listen to it anymore.
Duanmu Qi turned his back and said decisively: "Sister Yan, I won't go this time." After speaking, Duanmu Qi brushed his sleeves and left, without looking back.
"Sister Qi......" Feng Congyan stomped her feet unwillingly, and wanted to catch up, but was stopped by two mothers-in-law with big shoulders and round waists.
"Miss Feng," one of the mothers-in-law said with a smile, "The surname here is Duanmu, not the surname Feng, you better not walk around!" If you collide with the girl, it won't be beautiful! There was no mercy in the mother-in-law's words.
Feng Congyan had no choice but to stop her steps, watching Duanmuqi's garnet-red back go farther and farther, and there were waves of light and darkness at the bottom of her eyes, ups and downs.
Feng Congyan originally felt that this end of the Mu Qi tendon was the easiest to coax, through her, it was not difficult to fold the end of the Mu Fei and go in, but she didn't want the bamboo basket to be empty.
Feng Congyan regretted it in her heart: if she knew this, she might as well take Duanmuqi directly to the Changqing Eldest Princess's Mansion, why bother to find the tricky and thoughtful Duanmu Fei again!
Feng Congyan clenched her fists irritably, her nails dug deep into her tender palms, and her mind was confused: Without Duanmuqi, who is she going to find now?
No matter what, she has to bring someone with her, and definitely don't go to the princess's mansion alone.
Feng Congyan almost bit a mouthful of silver teeth, and stomped her feet again unwillingly, but finally left Shangshu Mansion under the "escort" of the two mothers-in-law......
As soon as Feng Congyan left, Bi Chan immediately went back to the house to restore his life, and said with his eyebrows fluttering: "...... The second girl went back to Qingzhi Courtyard, and the girl was helpless, so she left angrily and gloomily. β
Bi Cicada spoke crisply, and at the same time, she was gesturing, making the other maids in the room laugh "poof".
"Humph!" Duanmu slowly rubbed the red peony flower on the teacup a few times, the little face that was brighter than the peony flower was covered with frost, and said coldly, "At a young age, my mind is so heavy, I dare to calculate that I have come to our Shangshu Mansion!" β
Is this Congyan overestimating herself, or underestimating their Duanmu family too much?!
"It's no wonder that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Anping lives in Beppu, Her Royal Highness is as bright as the sun, open-minded, and has the style of a gentleman, why bother to condescend to the noble and deal with those who are not in the stream!"
"Sister, what you're talking about!" Duanmu Fei nodded vigorously and solemnly, his dark eyes bloomed with a bright light like a meteor, "Your Highness is open-minded, bold and resolute, noble and arrogant, and is the husband of women, a model of women!" β
After a pause, Duanmu smiled with crooked eyebrows, and said with a crooked little face: "Sister, I like Your Highness the most!" β
"Quack!" The little starling happily flapped his wings and screamed twice around Duanmufei, as if he was echoing Duanmufei.
Duanmujun looked at his sister's cute appearance, his eyes became softer and softer, and he couldn't help but reach out and rub the top of his sister's soft hair, and said with a smile: "Zhenzhen, after playing for most of the day, you are also tired, right?" Hurry up and have some dinner, and just take a break. β
Duanmujun immediately let his subordinates set up dinner, and after eating some casually with his sister, he took Duanmufei to the inner room to rest, and tucked the quilt for her, and then went to work himself.
When she opened her eyes again, it was already the next day, the sky outside was already bright, and the eastern sky was lit up by the brilliance of the rising sun.
Duanmu yawned lazily, got up and asked the maid to serve her to wash and groom her clothes, her hair had not yet been combed, and someone hurriedly came to say, "Girl, Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess has come down." β
Today is different from the past, and now Duanmu Scarlet and Hanxing are close, and they are not very particular about each other, so they directly let Bi Chan bring Hanxing to the inner room.
"Scarlet cousin!" Han Xing came in directly by himself, and his delicate little face was full of interest and radiant.
Duanmu Fei looked at Han Xing reflected in the bronze mirror, and raised his eyebrows suspiciously, "Cousin Han Xing, is there anything good?" β
"Cousin Scarlet, do you want to see the excitement?" Han Xing squinted and smiled mysteriously, his eyes were shining, "I heard that today's Aunt Changqing's mansion 'sang a big play'!" β
