Chapter 52: Intercession
Liao Luan pushed the door and entered the study, there was only a wax lit in the study, it was a little dim, he didn't care much, and shouted into the air out of thin air, "Someone." ”
The dim air flashed, and in the next second, there was a faint figure on the floor of the study.
The man knelt on one knee, his head lowered and he couldn't see his face clearly, and said in an indifferent voice, "Lord Wang"
Liao Luan stood in front of him with his hands behind his back, and his voice was mixed with a trace of coldness that he didn't have on weekdays, and said in a deep voice, "Go to the Beijing suburb post station and see what those Fanbang barbarians are thinking." ”
"Yes." The Dark Guard is about to go down.
Liao Luan hesitated for a moment, then opened his mouth and said, "Wait." ”
After the man turned around, he continued, "Find someone to look at the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, tell me if there is any movement." ”
"Yes."
The secret guard answered, and the study was quiet again, Liao Luan stood quietly at the window, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and the autumn wind was blowing.
The next day, Lin Zuiliu received the news that Mrs. Dingyuan Marquis was indeed taken to prison.
She didn't care much about it, Cui He served her well, she ate and slept every day, and her days were too calm and happy.
Until the fifth day, Liao Luan entered the palace to face the saint, and she was the only one left in the Zhennan Palace.
Suddenly, the butler came to the inner courtyard.
In the general mansion, the housekeeper is responsible for managing the whole house, but generally rarely comes to the inner courtyard, and the backyard has its own mother.
Although Lin Zuiliu has never seen any older grandmothers since he came to King Zhennan.
But fortunately, there are no female dependents in the backyard of Zhennan Wangfu, and there was none before she came.
Therefore, she thought that Cui He was the mother in charge of this backyard.
And if the housekeeper came to the backyard, firstly, because Liao Luan was not there, and secondly, this person came to find her.
At this time, Lin Zuiliu looked at the housekeeper in front of him, slowly frowned, and asked, "You say, Marquis Dingyuan came to find this concubine?" ”
"Yes," the butler arched his hand again, and opened his mouth to say, "The person who came called himself the Marquis of Dingyuan, said that he had come to find his daughter." ”
Lin Zuiliu was almost laughed at, she really didn't expect that her cheap father would be so cheeky and dare to come to her.
What did you do with her? Intercede? She personally sent this good lady to the prison cell, and now he has come to her to intercede, what is the use?
Lin Zuiliu thought about it, and a wave of anger rose in her heart, she put down the ginger tea boiled by Cui He in her hand, waved her hand, and said to the housekeeper in front of her who was waiting to reply, "Say that I am unwell and it is inconvenient to meet guests." ”
The housekeeper didn't ask much, just knoped down, turned around and went out.
Unexpectedly, after a while, the butler came again.
Lin Zuiliu sat in the room, listening to Cui He outside, and suddenly asked, "Why are you here again?" ”
Then the butler's voice rang out, "Miss Cui He, I'm here to find the princess, and the Marquis of Dingyuan is still in the lobby outside, saying that he wants to wait for her to go out." ”
Lin Zuiliu heard this in the room, holding the teacup in her hand and almost breaking the cup, she frowned, and said loudly, "Then let him wait, butler, you do your own thing, don't pay attention to it." ”
The housekeeper answered, and the room was quiet again, but Lin Zuiliu could no longer stay as calm as Fang Cai, and as soon as he was idle, he couldn't help but think of Dingyuanhou.
He wasn't a good father.
Lin Zuiliu no longer has her mother in her memory, and the memory of this father, without exception since she was a child, is to ignore her.
Even if the original body is really sensible, he won't ask more, and he seems to be so relieved of his wife that he will leave everything to her.
However, such a father, if he is said to have lost his conscience, it is really not appropriate.
It's just that I don't pay attention to it, I don't pay attention to this daughter, I don't pay attention to this daughter's mother, and I don't pay attention to that concubine, that's why it's like this.
Lin Zuiliu thought about it, sneered, lowered his head, looked at the slowly steaming ginger tea on the desk, and was silent.
After a while, she finally put down the teacup, got up and got off the bed, and turned to go out.
Cui He, who was outside, was sitting at the table embroidering a handkerchief, and when he saw Lin Zuiliu coming out, he hurriedly said, "Princess, where are you going?" ”
Lin Zuiliu waved her hand, and her voice was a little hoarse when she spoke, which startled herself.
"I'll go to the front and take a look, I can't let anyone come to the palace to mess around."
Cui He also understood that the princess couldn't let go of anything, and she didn't ask too much, so she got up and took a thin shawl for Lin Zuiliu, and said, "It's cold, the princess should wear more clothes, don't catch a cold." ”
Lin Zuiliu nodded, didn't ask Cui He to follow, and went out by himself.
Zhennan Wangfu is huge and prosperous, the backyard is not close to the front yard, the wind outside Lidong is a little strong, Lin Zuiliu wrapped the shawl on his body, stepped on the bluestone road, and occasionally stepped on the fallen leaves and made a crisp "click" sound.
When he sees Dingyuan Hou in a while, what will he say?
Did she threaten her to let Liao Luan release Mrs. Dingyuan Marquis quickly, or begged her to let Liao Luan let her go?
Maybe he will bring Lin Zuilu and play a bitter trick, so that Lin Zuilu will reluctantly apologize to her.
Lin Zuiliu thought that these methods would not seem to make her give in to this matter a little, nor would she have any thoughts similar to family affection for Dingyuanhou.
Yes, she is really too stupid, and at this time, she still wants to work hard for this family relationship that she and the original body have never had.
Who said she was the same as Liao Luan? Liao Luan was so happy when she was a child, but she didn't even know what her father's love looked like.
That's why I thought about it, even if this relationship was so indifferent, if she could, would she be able to pick up this relationship back.
It should be regarded as repaying the original body and giving her such a place to live.
Just thinking about it and walking, Lin Zuiliu walked to the front yard, she raised her head, and at a glance saw the figure with a long beard sitting quietly in the lobby in front of her.
After these few days, this person seems to have aged a lot in an instant, and his hair, which was still black, turned half white in an instant.
Lin Zuiliu originally thought that he might have brought Lin Zuilu here, but now he was the only one sitting there in the lobby.
Under Lin Zuiliu's arrangement, there was not even anyone to serve.
It's a bit frustrating to look at.
Lin Zuiliu took a breath and felt that it was cold from his mouth to his lungs, so he stepped into the lobby.
"Why does my father have time to come to the palace today?" Her voice was brisk, and she looked calm as if nothing had happened.
It wasn't until she came to the front that she saw the face of the Marquis of Dingyuan, the face that usually looked like a handsome uncle now looked embarrassed and decadent.
Hearing Lin Zuiliu's words, he hurriedly got up, like a child who had done something wrong, as if he was close to Lin Zuiliu, but also afraid of annoying her, he didn't dare to look up at her, and only said softly.
"Xiaoyanagi, you're here."
Lin Zuiliu was a little indifferent, she nodded, sat on the chair next to her, and didn't send anyone to pour tea, and said directly, "Father has something to look for me?" ”
Hearing Lin Zuiliu ask, Dingyuan Hou suddenly couldn't open his mouth.
After all, it was his wife who murdered his daughter first, and now he came to ask his daughter to save her, which is really a bit difficult for a strong man.
However, the emperor has already begged him, although the emperor has been discouraged, but he seems to attach great importance to Lin Zuiliu, saying that he is a benefactor after all, and he does not want to let her be too wronged.
"If Lin Zuiliu is willing to let go of her, a femme fatale-hearted mother-in-law, then I will let her go."
Thinking of the emperor's words, Marquis Dingyuan took a deep breath, and finally lowered his head and said quickly, "Xiaoliu, can you let go of your mother-in-law, she also knows that she is wrong, she is fascinated for a while......"
Before his words fell, Lin Zuiliu, who was listening on the side, finally couldn't hold back.
She also knew in her heart that the Marquis of Dingyuan must have come to intercede for his wife this time, but after all, she came with hope, and now that she was broken by someone, she was still very angry in her heart.
"Leave her alone? Father, ask yourself, has she ever let me go once in all these years? If it weren't for my fate, maybe I would have followed my mother directly. ”
Her body was full of the grievances and sorrows of the original body for so many years, and at this time it was all full of her heart, and she was almost in tears.
"I know that you have never paid attention to me and my mother, so that's it, now we are scattered, each has nothing to do with it, and I am no longer the girl of the Dingyuan Hou family."
After she finished saying this, she didn't look at Dingyuan Hou again, and turned around to go out.
There was a sudden "poof" sound behind him, interrupting Lin Zuiliu's movements.
She was shocked, and slowly turned back in disbelief, looking at the Marquis of Dingyuan in front of her.
At this time, he had already knelt on the ground, looked straight at Lin Zuiliu, and said, "Xiaoliu, Dad knows that Dad owes you for so many years, but Dad ...... It's really not that I don't love you at all. ”
Lin Zuiliu didn't respond to his words, he just looked at his figure in a daze, watching him slowly take something out of his arms.
It was a purse, and the corners of the purse were broken, revealing hairy threads, and it looked a little shabby.
He was holding it in his hand, and Lin Zuiliu couldn't see what was embroidered on the purse, only heard him say, "This is what your mother embroidered for me when she was pregnant with you, Xiaoliu, I have felt ashamed of your mother for so many years." ”
"But I'm already a negative person, I was ashamed of your aunt first, and then I had your mother, I really ...... I really have no shame to face your aunt, and I can't let go of your mother in my heart, it's my fault, it's all my fault. ”
Speaking of sadness, the Marquis of Dingyuan, who was already not young, had tears in his eyes, and he was almost about to burst into tears.
Lin Zuiliu looked at the purse he was carrying in his arms, and there seemed to be a little impression in his head.
That's still the memory of the original body, when I was a child, Mrs. Dingyuan Hou was not so harsh, and she once asked her to go to the master to study together, every time Dingyuan Hou took the school examination for his children, something else on his waist seemed to be this purse.
Speaking of which, I remember that it was only because she, as an unfavored daughter, never dared to look up at the face of Dingyuan Hou, and always only stared at the objects on his waist.
The number of appearances of this purse occupies most of her memories.
