Chapter 6: Brother and Sister Alliance
Shangguan pressed it, closed his eyes, pressed his eyebrows, and said in a faint voice: "Why do you want me to deal with everything?" Nian was once loyal to the Chen family to do things for the Prime Minister's Mansion, so let's get out! Also, tell Deputy Chief Manager Huang's daughter-in-law that from today onwards, she will take over Chen's position! Let her go back, I'm upset when I cry! β
"Yes!"
Two days later.
Above the verandah. The two rings are talking to each other. One said: "Have you heard?" Chen's stealing people was caught, and later sent out by his wife, so he had to defect to his daughter, but after her daughter knew about such an ugly thing, she was eager to cut off the mother-daughter relationship with her. Chen had no choice but to come back and beg his wife, saying that he had been wronged, but his wife did not want to see her. I don't know why, Chen suddenly went crazy, what retribution is not happy, it was the fourth aunt who came back for revenge, and soon after hit the wall and committed suicide, the situation is exactly the same as Hui Niang! β
Another continued: "That's wicked! Deputy Chief Huang's daughter-in-law took over Chen's stewardship, and she should be proud as she said, but somehow, she was dumb that night and couldn't speak! Others said that it was because she shouldn't have scolded Chen's fourth aunt! β
"Shhhh Anyway, this Prime Minister's Mansion is quite like that now, we have to pay attention! β
"Fifth sister!" Murong Yao frowned and looked at the shabby, dark and damp of Murong Xun's room, "You actually live in this kind of place!" β
Murong Xun smiled faintly and poured a bowl of tea for Murong Yao, "There is nothing to entertain the eldest brother, I have wronged the eldest brother!" β
Murong Yao sighed: "I thought she was cruel enough to treat me, but I didn't expect to treat you like a subordinate, no, even a subordinate!" β
Murong Xun sat down next to Murong Yao and said with a smile: "The eldest brother is outstanding in learning, both civil and military, why don't you leave the Prime Minister's Mansion and become an official, on the one hand, you can show your strengths to serve the imperial court, and on the other hand, you can avoid being afraid!" β
Murong Yao smiled self-deprecatingly, "What else can it be, isn't it because I'm just a humble concubine?" The court officials are generally the children of the family, but those young masters who are born can not tolerate me? And how can the eldest lady do what I wish? The four major families have always been in the same spirit, even if someone appreciates my talent, I will have no place to stand and be in the officialdom! Anyway, the result is already doomed, I might as well stay in this prime minister's mansion, at least for me who doesn't have any threat, she won't bother much! β
"If the eldest brother has anything to say, just say it directly!" Murong Xun took a sip of tea and said lightly. She looked at Murong Yao sideways, he had an excellent handsome face, and when he smiled, there was a faint pear vortex on his lips, not like the prime minister who was always serious in his memory, but like the second aunt, the gentle and beautiful woman.
Murong Yao looked at Murong Xun with a serious expression, suddenly pursed his lips and smiled, approached her and asked, "You want revenge, right?" Don't be so quick to deny! Otherwise you won't come back! We are on one front! β
Murong Xun looked at Murong Yao intently, and did not let go of the slightest expression. The sunlight shone obliquely through the hollow window, and happened to hit his face, and you could vaguely see the smile lines at the corners of his mouth that had not had time to disappear, as well as the suspicion and expectation in his eyes. Banxiang smiled and said, "Does the eldest brother think that the little sister can help you?" But the little sister has more than enough heart and not enough strength! β
Murong Yao moved his gaze to the side, looked at the halo cast by the sun by the window, and said slowly, "Do you remember the fourth sister?" She was smart and clever, and she was the most popular with my father than my brother and sister. But at the age of eight, he fell into a pond and drowned! How lovely she is, I still remember her little face like a red apple, her smile is so sweet that people can forget all their sorrows, but such an angelic person, there are people who can't tolerate her...... Fifth sister, since you choose to come back, you should understand that some things are inevitable and unavoidable! β
Murong Xun got up, walked to the window, looked at the mottled courtyard wall, turned his back to Murong Yao and said, "As long as the Shangguan clan exists, she will not fall." She turned to look at Murong Yao's face, "Wouldn't our great and wise father be a little aware of what happened back then?" He repeatedly tolerated the existence of that poisonous woman, in order to support the forces of the Shangguan clan, which could make his position more consolidated and his official fortune more prosperous? β
Murong Xun smiled mockingly, "Wake up!" My naΓ―ve and ridiculous brother, a man with no money, no power, no status, it is impossible for you to stand up against a large and ancient family! β
Murong Yao was unmoved, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, before he said slowly, "Have you forgotten the Nan family?" Once one of the five major families, the king of the Southern Domain, held military power and was the most influential family in the empire, but what about the final outcome? Gone up in smoke, this equally old or perhaps even larger family was forgotten by the world like a dream of prosperity. β
Murong Yao's pupils contracted, his heart took a step back as if he had been hit by a blunt object, and only Murong Yao continued in his ears: "What's more, against the Shangguan family, I have the most terrifying and sharpest weapon in my hand, Shangguan Zixuan, this young man who also suffers from the curse and play of fate. He hated power, hated the ugliness of people's hearts, and also hated the Shangguan family that gave him an unbearable fate. I'm sure he'd love to see the family destroyed! β
At that moment, Murong Xun saw madness in Murong Yao's eyes, the madness of the thirst for power. This kind of look was familiar, and she seemed to have become accustomed to it.
Murong Yao's ink-like eyes were full of excitement and unspeakable ambition, he stepped forward and clasped Murong Xun's shoulder, "Don't refuse me, Fifth Sister, from the first time I saw you in the stable that day, I found that there was the same thing in our eyes, which was hatred, hatred that destroyed everything. β
Murong Xun pursed her lips and looked at Murong Yao for a long time, against the sun, her eyes flickered and flickered clearly, but the hair on her cheeks was extraordinarily clear, suddenly, she smiled faintly, but her smile was like snow melting, with a deeper chill, and her tone was thin and cool and brisk, "As you wish!" β
The sky was blue, and in an instant it was covered by dark clouds and strong winds, which was the prelude to the storm.
The laundry room in the backyard was suddenly a mess, and everyone hurriedly took the clothes dried in the yard back into the house. Murong Xun was naturally in this hurried figure.
There is a well next to the yard where the clothes are dried, and the water is very clear, but no one in the prime minister has ever drunk the water in this well, and it is said that several people in this well have fallen and drowned. People who have seen it with their own eyes said that when the body was recovered, his whole body was swollen, his eyes were staring out, and the appearance of death was extremely terrifying.
Murong Xun hurriedly rushed to the house with a bundle of clothes in his arms, and when he passed the well, he didn't know whether he was hit unintentionally or intentionally, and he slipped and threw himself at the well, Murong Xun quickly grabbed the edge of the well, and half of his body lay at the mouth of the well. Looking down, there is a deep bottomless well water, and a faint cool air is blowing in the face. The rain in the sky fell rapidly, and the raindrops hit the calm water, rippling, and the white light of the stars was shattered. A pair of ghost-like hands quietly stretched out to Murong Xun's back, and with a heavy press, he saw Murong Xun rushing towards the bottom of the well like a falling butterfly. Soon I heard a "flutter" sound.
The boiling in the courtyard stopped for a moment, but in just an instant, everyone began to do what they were doing, as if the sound of falling water had not happened.
At this moment, he saw a moon-white voice squeezing in from the busy crowd and rushing to the well, he looked back at the people with indifferent expressions, the light and shadow in the amber eyes were dim, and there was no joy or anger, the heavy rain fell like a pour, and the black hair on his sideburns stuck to his cheeks, and the rain dripped along his forehead, cheeks, and chin.
He quickly put down the bucket on the edge of the well, and then shouted towards the well: "Miss Murong, can you hear me?" Zixuan came to save you, are you okay? β
Feeling that the bucket that had been put down was being dragged, Shangguan Zixuan was overjoyed, and he stirred the stand with all his might. Soon after, I saw a soaked, shivering, and purple girl being hung up holding a bucket.
At this time, Shangguan Zixuan's attendants had already squeezed over, and the crowd was helping the master.
Shangguan Zixuan picked up Murong Xun and put it on the ground, took out a russet pill from his arms and took it for her, seeing that her complexion had improved, Fang Cai gently patted her cheek and asked, "Are you okay?" β
Murong Xun smiled and said, "You are a doctor, you should know better than me if I am good!" β
Shangguan Zixuan hugged Murong Xun horizontally, and saw a trace of embarrassment flashing on her face, and was stunned for a moment, and after a moment, he smiled: "You're still in the mood to laugh, it seems that you're fine!" As he spoke, he was holding her all the way towards Murong Yao's Mo Songju.
And Murong Yao, who heard that the attendant came to report Shangguan Zixuan's visit, was in a good mood to greet his friends, but when he walked to the door, he was taken aback when he saw such a situation, and looked at Murong Xun who was wet in Shangguan Zixuan's arms, and asked worriedly: "What's wrong?" β
Murong Xun smiled faintly and said, "It's just that the matter of the fourth sister will be staged on me again!" β
Murong Yao's eyes darkened, "I really didn't expect her to be so breathless and start so quickly!" It was my mistake, I thought she was worried about the second brother's affairs and wouldn't bother you! β
Murong Xun was put on the bed by Shangguan Zixuan, and when he heard Murong Yao's words, he smiled lightly and said, "This is a good thing, at least our father should come back!" β
