Chapter 61: Fueling the Flames
Rouge was guarding the door, but suddenly shouted, startling Lin Yinshuang and Yun Xiaowan.
The two looked at each other, but they didn't expect Shangguan Yu to come to the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Excuse me, Miss." Shangguan Yu's voice was gentle, and he sounded humble and polite. But his appearance is very poor and sour in Yun Xiaowan's eyes.
Rouge was just about to go in, just as Lin Yinshuang pushed open the door.
"Ma'am." Shangguan Yu was slightly surprised, he was looking for Yun Xiaowan, but he didn't want to meet Lin Yinshuang. "I saw that Miss Yun hadn't shown up for a long time, I'm afraid she was still cleaning up, but it just so happened that I had nothing to do now, so I took the liberty to come to the backyard after discussing with the prime minister."
"Unexpectedly, I disturbed Mrs. and Miss, it was mine, wasn't it?" The corners of Shangguan Yu's mouth rose, revealing a gentle smile. He nodded at Lin Yinshuang, and was about to leave after speaking.
"It's fine." Lin Yinshuang looked behind her in embarrassment, "Since you and Wan'er have a marriage contract, it is also appropriate to cultivate a relationship." It just so happens that I've already finished talking about things, so it's not a problem. ”
Lin Yinshuang smiled. "You two get along well."
After speaking, Lin Yinshuang turned her head to look at Yun Xiaowan. Yun Xiaowan stood up, her face very disgusted. She didn't expect Lin Yinshuang to echo Shangguan Yu to speak, knowing that she was very tired of this family business now.
Lin Yinshuang's eyes moved slightly, signaling Yun Xiaowan not to do anything excessive. Then, she greeted Shangguan Yu again and left the backyard.
After all, Yun Shichang is in charge of the relationship between the two, that is, no matter how unwilling Yun Xiaowan is, before she gets married, she still has to give some face.
If she really angered Yun Shichang, how could she hesitate in her marriage.
When Yun Xiaowan saw Shangguan Yu, she snorted coldly angrily, and sat on the stool. "Don't think I don't know why you came to propose, I tell you, I won't marry you, die of this heart as soon as possible."
Yun Xiaowan said, her eyes also looked Shangguan Yu up and down. Her temperament was originally arrogant and domineering, and she never put Shangguan Yu in her eyes, Yun Xiaowan did not hide her inner disgust.
Shangguan Yu saw that Yun Xiaowan rejected herself like this, and he was silently relieved in his heart.
"My marriage with Miss Yun is the order of my parents, and the matchmaker's words, if you want to say what my purpose is, Miss Yun is afraid that she misunderstood me." Shangguan Yu stood in place, looking at Yun Xiaowan with a smile in his eyes.
Unexpectedly, Shangguan Yu's words made Yun Xiaowan even more disgusted, as if she was chasing ducks to the shelves, Yun Xiaowan misunderstood that Guan Yu was threatening herself.
"Look at what your identity is, and dare to climb the Prime Minister's Mansion." Yun Xiaowan snorted coldly, and the disdain in her eyes became even more unscrupulous.
"If it weren't for the last husband's murder, I would have had your turn to propose?" Yun Xiaowan was condescending and degraded Shangguan Yu worthless.
Shangguan Yu was not annoyed, but the smile between his eyebrows became more obvious.
He also thought that it would be trickier to face Yun Xiaowan, but as a result, the two of them had their own goals, but it was easier to share.
"I'm here today to discuss something with Miss Yun." Shangguan Yu suddenly looked confident. Since Yun Xiaowan is so reluctant to marry him, Shangguan Yu is confident enough, and the two will definitely be able to hit it off.
"Look at your poor and sour face, a dog can spit out a few tusks from his mouth." Yun Xiaowan glanced at Shangguan Yu. Seeing that Shangguan Yu was going to talk to her, she only felt very noisy.
I was not used to seeing that the status of Zongzheng Mansion was not as good as that of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but now that I thought that Yun Shichang actually forced myself to marry Shangguan Yu, Yun Xiaowan naturally couldn't give him any good looks.
"If you really know the current affairs, you will quickly refuse this family business with my father." Yun Xiaowan's tone was disgusted, and her attitude was extremely disdainful.
Shangguan Yu has a surprisingly good temperament, the corners of his mouth are slightly raised, and he looks like a gentle son. In comparison, it seems that Yun Xiaowan is stingy.
"If Miss Yun really wants to get rid of this family business, she will listen to me today." Shangguan Yu looked at Yun Xiaowan, his eyes were full of confidence, as if he was sure that Yun Xiaowan would listen to him.
"What?" Yun Xiaowan's pupils narrowed slightly, and she was really interested. Could it be that Shangguan Yu is also unwilling to marry him?
"Miss Yun is the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, with a noble status, and she is born with a stunning look in the city, I know that it can't be compared. But my father has always been good friends with the prime minister, and he can't allow me to refute it at all, which has caused trouble to Miss Yun. Shangguan Yu's tone was gentle and gentle, and he explained patiently.
Yun Xiaowan was even more proud when she heard this, "You also know that you are not worthy of me." ”
So I came up with an idea, pretending to go along with it first, and then making plans until the two of them were a little more reassured. It would be useless to resist them at this point. Shangguan Yu finally said what he thought.
He knew that Yun Xiaowan was arrogant, and if he told Yun Xiaowan that he had the woman next to him in his heart, he would not want to marry her. Yun Xiaowan must have been very angry.
Now he is deliberately groveling, and he will win over Yun Xiaowan first. The left and right are both rejected in their hearts, even if they are tied up and become relatives, it is a kind of torment.
"Okay." Yun Xiaowan thought for a moment, looked at Shangguan Yu unscrupulously, and decided to agree.
"Then I'll go back to the hall and tell the prime minister that I had a good conversation with the young lady." After Shangguan Yu finished speaking, he said two more words to Yun Xiaowan, and then left the room.
Yun Xiaowan was happy in her heart, as if she didn't have Fang Cai's angry and corrupt appearance.
Unexpectedly, although Shangguan's family is extremely poor, fortunately, Shangguan Yu is very self-aware, and he knows that he is not worthy, so he knows how to get away obediently. Yun Xiaowan raised her eyebrows and snorted coldly.
Sure enough, after a while, the maid outside came to report, saying that Yun Shichang wanted to see her.
Yun Xiaowan was triumphant, pretending to be docile, and was about to kneel down and salute when she walked into the hall.
"Hurry up." Yun Shichang seemed to be in a good mood, and when he saw Yun Xiaowan, he hurriedly bent down and helped her stand up. "Fang Caiyu'er has already told me, and my father is very pleased to see you so well-behaved and obedient."
Yun Shichang didn't expect that Yun Xiaowan would change her habits after a few days of house arrest. He was originally worried that Yun Xiaowan would be tense with Shangguan Yu when the two met, but he didn't expect that in Shangguan Yu's mouth, the two were very compatible.
"My daughter understands her father's hard work. Now that the Mu family is in decline, her daughter had a marriage in the past, and she can't compare to other young ladies. Shangguan Gongzi is a rare young talent, gentle and meticulous, and his daughter feels a little liked. Yun Xiaowan deliberately covered her mouth with a handkerchief, pretending to be shy.
Yun Shichang nodded with satisfaction, and there was a smile between the corners of his mouth and eyebrows.
First, the Yun family and the Shangguan family are world friends, even if the status of the two families is very different, Yun Shichang is still very good to Zongzheng Mansion. Now in the court, it is obvious that the queen's family is suppressing Zongzheng Mansion, how can Yun Shichang see it.
Knowing that helping will definitely cause an uproar, and the entire Prime Minister's Mansion will be compensated. Yun Shichang thought about it and made the decision to make peace between the two families.
"Daddy, my daughter has something to ask for." Seeing that Yun Shichang was in a good mood, Yun Xiaowan took the opportunity to make a request. "My daughter has been under house arrest in the backyard for several days, and she is about to give birth to a sick daughter. Besides, the daughter already knows the mistake and will not make it again in the future, can the father remove the punishment? ”
Yun Shichang was very satisfied with Yun Xiaowan's performance today, so he didn't think about it, and agreed to Yun Xiaowan without hesitation.
In the Taiwei Mansion, Zhang Lanxin has been in the house for several days, except for the personal maid Xiao Tao, and the Taiwei and his wife can't see Zhang Lanxin all day.
"Miss, it's time to eat." Xiao Tao held a few plates of light side dishes, and said as she put the dishes and chopsticks for her.
Zhang Lanxin's original personal maid Jiuge was thrown out of the Taiwei Mansion by Zhang Lanxin because her hands were cut off, and now this little peach is clever and capable, but Zhang Lanxin likes it very much.
"I don't want to eat it." Zhang Lanxin unintentionally glanced at the food on the table, and couldn't arouse any interest.
These days, Zhang Lan's mind and body are withered, and she is very powerless to do anything. Even Zhang Hengshu took the time to read it a few times, but he was blocked by Zhang Lanxin.
"Only by eating can you take care of your body, Miss eat a little more. Besides, even if you don't think about yourself, you have to do it. ”
"Shut up!" Xiao Tao was so open-mouthed that she almost missed her mouth. Zhang Lanxin glanced at Xiao Tao fiercely, and then she realized that she had made a mistake and hurriedly covered her lips.
"If you leak this out, don't blame me for being ruthless." Zhang Lanxin threatened solemnly, looking at Xiao Tao's eyes as if she was going to eat her. "Don't forget, both of your younger brothers are supported by me."
Xiao Tao hurriedly knelt down and knocked her head several times. "It's the slave and the maid, the slave and the maid know that it's wrong." After that, Xiao Wan actually began to fan her mouth hard.
"Alright, alright." Zhang Lan interrupted in annoyance. She is in an irritable mood now, and she has no time to teach the maid a lesson. "If I talk about these things once, you can just keep them in your heart."
Xiao Tao trembled all over and was in a hurry.
"That's right." Zhang Lan suddenly remembered something. She is bored in the Taiwei Mansion these days, and she doesn't know anything about many things outside. "How about the death of the squire's daughter?"
Yun Xiaoxiao, a maidservant, can cause such an uproar. Later, Jun Ruyu took the initiative to take it, and asked the emperor to investigate the case.
Zhang Lanxin was angry every time she saw Jun Ruyu being so interested in Yun Xiaoxiao.
"The slave is still at a loss when I hear it." Little Peach shook her head. "Miss Shen has been buried, and even if she wants to perform an autopsy, there is nothing she can do. Except for the banquet, Miss Shen only had some contact with the maidservants next to the third prince, and all kinds of signs completely indicated that it was Miss Shen who she poisoned and died. ”
"It seems that her imprisonment is ironclad." Zhang Lan snorted coldly, and finally had a happy thing.
I don't know why Shen Mangxia's poisoning is so uproarious, and even the emperor has to pay attention to this matter. In order to solve it quickly, even if there is no evidence, the emperor is very sure that he will casually pull someone to take the blame.
Yun Xiaoxiao is just a maidservant, and no one cares if she dies. In exchange for her life, this matter will be settled, and the emperor will consider it.
Zhang Lan was triumphant, wishing that Yun Xiaoxiao would die soon.
"You go and do something for me."
