Chapter 121: Delusion
Song Yaoxian couldn't stop her doubts and sadness no matter what. She kept shaking Yun'er's arm and asked, "Yun'er, you and Can'er both grew up with me, why did she frame me at the cost of her life!" β
Yun'er sighed and said: "The slave maid has followed the girl since she was a child, so she naturally knows what kind of character the girl is, and the slave and maid believe that you are not harmful." But the slave didn't know why Can'er did this. β
Song Yuheng thought of Can'er's intentions, and his face turned pale and helpless: "Did Yan Lingtian do it...... Doesn't she also want to marry the prince? It must be...... She must have bought Can'......"
Yun'er sighed and said, "However, the rules of our house are so strict, and Can'er is with the slaves and maids around Song Yaoxian, where can I have the opportunity to contact Yan Lingtian?" β
"That's not necessarily, if Yan Lingtian is interested in looking for an opportunity, he may not be able to catch a moment and a half of conspiring with Can'er...... Maybe when she went to girls' school, she let her maid contact Can'er...... "Song Yaoxian tried her best to guess all kinds of possibilities, and the whole person was no longer stunned, she said: "In short, if Can'er really has contact with others, she will definitely leave clues!" β
Yun'er didn't think that Yan Lingtian would be able to persuade Can'er to assassinate her master by seizing a few opportunities, but she had no reason to refute it, so after thinking about it, she persuaded her: "Since the girl thinks that someone is harming you, she must obey the old lady's wishes and enter the palace." If she can get the emperor's favor, the girl will definitely be able to take advantage of the situation to find out this person for revenge! β
Song Yaoxian gritted her teeth with tears: "You're right, my mother and sister don't believe me, I have to rely on myself...... It is impossible for me to marry the prince, and there is only one way to enter the palace. Case...... I must walk this path well, I must find out the people who hurt me, and I will not rest until I die! β
Yun'er was taken aback by Song Yaoxian's sharp and vicious gambling curse, and only breathed a sigh of relief after a moment, no matter what, with hatred supporting, she didn't have to worry that the other party would not be able to think about it, and she was always scared.
The life and death of the concubines in the palace can only stir up a small wave in the splendid and prosperous capital. As the news that the Song family's pair of palm beads were going to enter the palace together spread all over the streets and alleys, this matter was forgotten by everyone, and they turned to talk about the Song family's Xuanhelai.
Empress Dowager Song sat in the Shoukun Palace with a deep gaze, twisting the rosary in her hand for a while, and said, "Those old guys are saying that my relatives of the Song family are dictatorial again?" β
Jinyu kneaded her shoulders moderately and said: "Even if you are on the fold, it is just for the occasion, you and the emperor are mother and son, how can the emperor not know that you are all for her good?" If you don't let the daughter of the Song family be the queen, do you want to support the family next to you? β
Empress Dowager Song sighed lightly: "If someone else becomes the queen, it is unknown whether she can have the same heart as the mourning family." If it is like Tinglan back then, the abducted emperor is separated from the mourning family, what should the mourning family do? This is the queen, and she can't be wrong at all. β
"That's what the Queen Mother said. The emperor can naturally understand your hard work. β
Empress Dowager Song didn't want to say this anymore, but instead remembered Xiao Xun and asked, "How are you doing with the emperor these days?" β
"The emperor seems to like the supple temperament of the noble people very much, even if he is busy with political affairs, he often goes to her palace to eat and talk."
In this way, the mourning family is also relieved. That Lan nobleman, although the mourning family didn't plan to move her, she was always dangling in front of her eyes, and her heart was a little unsmooth. This time this happened, she was not blessed, if the emperor can turn his thoughts about her to the nobles, it is also a good thing. β
Jinyu smiled: "What the Queen Mother said is timely. Who would have thought that Jiang Shilang was so eyeless that he would send Lan Guiren's sister to the palace, I looked at that appearance, and his demeanor was six or seven points similar to Tinglan. Fortunately, the slave saw it and stopped her, otherwise, it would be another trouble. β
Empress Dowager Song snorted coldly: "Lose a pair of daughters, and let him wake up." β
Several courtyards in the Ji Mansion belong to the Lanruo Pavilion, and the layout is the most dazzling. Within the permissible range, the Qin clan would never treat the Ji Tianjiao sisters harshly. The pink curtain in Ji Tianjiao's house is bright like a peach blossom in spring. However, she sat at the desk in a daze at this time, and her mood was not very clear, as if she was covered with countless dark and dusty mist.
She pinched the soft handkerchief in her palm, thinking about Hong Yan's posture and attitude, and the throbbing of that day was about to move for no reason. She tightened her hands slowly, forcing herself to suppress the feeling. She is married, and her fiancΓ© is Ruan Ning, the one who disdains her before high school...... The Ruan Ning who has not yet married and hangs his eyes on other women all day long!
Ji Tianjiao took a deep breath, wanting to remove the figures of Hong Yan and Ruan Ning from his mind. It's a pity that the contrast between the high and low makes her feel uneasy all the time, it turns out that the man she is looking forward to is so ordinary, and such an ordinary man still doesn't look down on her!
Ji Tianjiao stood up with a sigh, the tea cup in his hand was knocked over, and the warm tea overflowed the paper on the desk, including the lotus hairpin that Ji Rujun traced. She looked at the extravagant hairpin on it in a bit of a daze, and thought of Ji Erlan, who was in the limelight. Thinking of the Crossing King...... That god-like man, is he actually admiring Ji Erlan?
Once again, the fire of jealousy spread from her heart to her whole body, almost burning her to ashes!
When Ji Rujun came in, she saw Ji Tianjiao throwing his hands full of scraps of paper all over the ground. "Big sister? What happened to you? Why didn't Mu Xiang wait with them, what were they doing standing outside? β
Ji Tianjiao was silent, and her body fell weakly in the chair behind her.
Ji Rujun looked at the shredded paper all over the ground, some of which were still wet, thoughtfully picked up the pieces of paper with lotus hairpins painted on them, and asked, "Sister, are you bored about the lotus hairpin?" β
She sat next to Ji Tianjiao and said, "After what happened last time, Yan Lingtian was quite annoyed with our Ji family, and it is normal to ignore us, why should my sister take it to heart, let's just ignore her." As for the lotus hairpin, I will draw a new one and take it to Song Yuning to see if she can know what is famous. β
Ji Tianjiao turned his head to look at Ji Rujun's increasingly delicate little face, looked away with some irritability, looked at the handkerchief in his hand, and did not say anything about the lotus hairpin, but said: "Cousin Ruan Ning is so concerned about Ji Erlan, I'm afraid that my relationship with him will not be successful." β
"What?" Ji Rujun was very surprised: "Where did the big sister start with this?" Since this family affair has been changed from the second sister to the eldest sister, there is absolutely no reason to regret it and change it back. β
"Isn't there a reason to change it back?" Ji Tianjiao's tone was fluctuating, as if she felt that it was a pity that she couldn't change it back, she was silent for a moment, and said, "What if Ruan Ning insists on it?" β
Ji Rujun saw that Ji Tianjiao was wrong, and asked, "Big sister, but what happened?" What did Cousin Ruan Ning do to upset you? β
"Nothing." Ji Tianjiao didn't want to admit that Ruan Ning was tired of her, so she said: "Ji Erlan is a descendant, and now that she is so beautiful, it is reasonable for the Ruan family to regret it." β
Ji Rujun didn't believe what she said, 'nothing', but she didn't ask any further, just frowned and said: "Big sister, don't worry, this is impossible, our Ji family's daughter is not left to her Ruan family's picking, even if the Ruan family can give up their face to mention this matter, Daddy can't afford to lose this face, and he will definitely not agree." β
"You're right...... Ji Tianjiao said quietly, "unless...... Something had to happen. β
Ji Rujun felt more and more that something must have happened between Ji Tianjiao and Ruan Ning, she raised her eyebrows and asked, "Big sister is saying that Ruan Ning's cousin, or the Ruan family, will play some tricks?" β
Ji Tianjiao's expression turned slightly lively, and he pretended to ask casually, "What do you think they will do if they want to come to Yin?" β
Ji Rujun and Mo Yu glanced at each other, and they both felt that Ji Tianjiao was a little strange. Ji Rujun thought for a while and said, "If Cousin Ruan Ning is really determined to repent of his marriage, and he doesn't want to bear the infamy, he can only work hard from others. For example, if the reputation of the eldest sister is ruined, Cousin Ruan Ning can naturally withdraw from his family. β
Ji Tianjiao's eyebrows jumped, and her silver teeth clenched for a long time, trying to make her voice appear calm: "What else?" β
Mo Yu said: "Or, it can also be like Lan Guiren and Xu Zhi, one party is stupid or dead, or you can cut off this family business." β
Ji Rujun thought about it and nodded approvingly, Ji Tianjiao sneered and said, "Or, if something happens to Cousin Ruan Ning and Ji Erlan, I'm afraid he will be able to enjoy the blessings of all people?" β
Ji Rujun was surprised and said: "The eldest sister means that she is hired as a wife and a concubine." If the second sister and Ruan Ning's cousin have something, the second sister can only be a concubine for Ruan Ning's cousin, the eldest sister or the main wife? β
Ji Tianjiao endured his disgust at this assumption and asked, "What, do you think it's impossible?" β
Ji Rujun pursed her lips and thought for a while, and said, "I don't think it's possible, the second sister is so powerful, Cousin Ruan Ning has no way to start." Even if she succeeds, the second sister will not be willing to suffer this humiliation, with her current temperament, it is possible to die with Ruan Ning's cousin, maybe even the entire Ruan family will suffer. β
Ji Tianjiao sneered: "If that's the case, wouldn't it be better?" β
Ji Rujun and Mo Yu looked at each other, and they didn't know what was wrong with Ji Tianjiao. Ji Tianjiao didn't care about them, and thought about her own affairs silently.
Ji Rujun motioned for Mu Xiang to come and serve, and she took Moyu back to her room and asked, "Moyu, has anything happened to the eldest sister recently?" Why did he suddenly change his person, is it because Ruan Ning's cousin always tries to pester the second sister? β
Mo Yu thought about it carefully and said, "It's nothing special, the eldest girl was grounded for a month, and she didn't leave the yard for a few days. A few days ago, I heard that she ordered Ru'er to make some snacks and wanted to bring them back to the young master, but in the end, she took them back and shared them with everyone, and Ru'er specially brought them to me. β
Ji Rujun paced in the room for a while and said, "Who followed the eldest sister that day, you find an excuse to ask her to come over." β
