Chapter 14: Ruthless Calculations
The noise in the courtyard continued, Chang Qin and Wang's mother were aggressive, refusing to give up, they had to go in to find out, Ning Shuang blocked the door, and refused to get out of the way, and the two sides confronted each other like this.
Chang Youxi stood at the door, and did not choose to push the door in at the first time, she also wanted to hear what kind of words Chang Qin would say next, and whether she would show her feet in anger.
However, it is a pity that she waited for a long time, and Chang Qin didn't say anything other than to go in to find out.
"What a cautious woman!"
Chang Youxi whispered to himself, and his heart was even more wary of Chang Qin, after all, such a cautious and ruthless person, there may be some ruthless means waiting to deal with her.
"It seems that you really won't get out of the way? Even I, the young lady, didn't pay attention to it. At this time, Chang Qin's voice came from the courtyard, her tone was very cold, and there was a hint of inexplicable weirdness, making it hard to believe that this would be what a lady who looked elegant and decent.
Of course, Chang Qin, as the daughter of the eldest lady and the eldest daughter of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, if you ignore her dark and vicious heart, she is indeed a real lady, and she also has the absolute right to speak in this Right Prime Minister's Mansion.
If it was in normal times, Ning Shuang would not dare to offend her at all, but now it is different from the past, she knows that Chang Youxi is not in the room, if she really lets Chang Qin go in and find out, the consequences will be unimaginable, and when the time comes, she will not have good fruit to eat.
So in the end, Ning Shuang still suppressed the panic in her heart, and under great pressure, shook her head at Chang Qin, and said firmly: "I'm sorry eldest miss, without the permission of the third young lady, the slave maid can't let you in." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Chang Qin's face suddenly gloomy, with a cold light flashing in his eyes, looking at Ning Shuang's eyes, it was like looking at a dead person, his eyes were looking back and forth on her, as if he was thinking about how to kill her would be more convenient.
Ning Shuang couldn't help but tremble in her heart, her body trembled involuntarily, her eyes dodged for a while, avoiding Chang Qin's gaze, and silently waiting for the upcoming slap.
In her opinion, if she provokes the eldest lady who is the most favored by the lord and the lady, she will definitely die an ugly death, and before that, Chang Qin will teach her a hard lesson, let her know that there is a difference between master and servant, respect and order, and then let people pull her away and break into the boudoir of the third lady.
This way of dealing with it is the most common way in large households, so it is natural for Ning Shuang to think so about Chang Qin, and she is even ready to be beaten.
But after waiting for a long time, she didn't see Chang Qin make any moves, she couldn't help but wonder, surprised, raised her head and looked at Chang Qin cautiously, but just saw a touch of disdain in her eyes, as if she had seen through what Ning Shuang was thinking, so she couldn't help but blush, a little ashamed of herself.
"Mother Wang, let's go." At this time, I only heard Chang Qin's mocking voice sounding unexpectedly, "Go and invite your father and mother over, I don't believe it, just rely on your little maid, and dare to stop them from entering?" ”
Chang Qin said, turned around and was about to leave, at that moment, she caught a glimpse of Ning Shuang's pale face, so she paused slightly, hooked her lips and smiled: "I can't get in, it's no different for the result, I know Chang Qin is not inside, you can protect her!" ”
With that, he turned around and left, never looking back.
Behind her, there was not a trace of blood on Ning Shuang's face, her body trembled for a while, and finally she knelt directly on the bottom.
She knew that Chang Qin had made up her mind to trouble her young lady, she could stop Chang Qin, but she couldn't stop the old man and his wife, and sooner or later they would all know the truth that the young lady was not at home.
Not only that, but when the time came, Chang Qin added fuel and vinegar in front of the master, saying that she was a little maid, but she deliberately stopped her and did not let the eldest lady in the house go in to visit her sister.
Then this matter will become more complicated, and the excuse that she ran out because she was greedy for fun can be used to prevaricate the past, but it will become a deliberate concealment of going out, with an impure purpose, maybe a little more serious, and even people will find out that her young lady's madness has been cured.
Ning Shuang grew up in a big family since she was a child, and she has been exposed to it for so many years, so she naturally knows the twists and turns, in the past, her young lady became crazy, it was not accidental, but someone deliberately did it, so now those people find that the young lady is no longer crazy, and they will definitely take action against her again, and they don't have much strength now, and there is no benefit to being exposed too early.
In just a moment, these questions had all gone through Ning Shuang's mind, and the more he guessed the possibilities, the more creepy his heart became.
At this time, seeing that Chang Qin had already walked to the door, he was about to leave, and leaving meant that it would not be long before the lord and his wife would come over, and her young lady's secret would not be hidden for long.
So in an instant, Ning Shuang's expression was a little distorted because of fear, and she even had a trace of hatred for Chang Qin, but she had no choice but to watch Chang Qin walk out of this courtyard, and then she herself knelt on the ground and prayed, hoping that when the lord and lady had not had time to come, her family would come back first.
At this time, outside the courtyard, Chang Youxi, who didn't know her inner activities, heard that Chang Qin was going to come out, and immediately ran lightly to the other side of the courtyard wall and hid herself from Chang Qin.
She herself walked out of the courtyard for a long time, and only then did she carefully poke out half of her head, watched her departing back and turned several corners, and after confirming that she could no longer see here, she came out from the other side of the wall, walked to the gate of the courtyard, pushed open the door and walked in.
The sound of pushing the door was heard by Ning Shuang, she thought that the lord and the lady had come so soon, and immediately straightened her body, knelt on the ground straight, and said in her mouth: "The slave has seen the master, madam!" ”
After finishing speaking, she didn't wait for a reply for a long time, Ning Shuang was a little apprehensive in her heart, but at this moment, there was a sudden burst of laughter above her head, this familiar laughter made Ning Shuang stunned, raised her head suddenly, and saw Chang Youxi.
She was startled at first, then in ecstasy, and hurriedly jumped up and hugged Chang Youxi's waist, crying and shouting: "Miss, you are finally back, if you don't come back, you may never see the slave!" ”
Chang Youxi knew that what she said was that she might be killed by Chang Yuandao and the eldest lady, and she also knew that she was scared in her heart, so she didn't touch her head, and comforted her with a smile: "Okay, it's okay, I'm not coming back, good boy, don't cry." ”
After all, Ning Shuang is still a teenage girl, she likes to find someone to coquettish and find support, and she was comforted by Chang Youxijiao, and felt even more aggrieved, and muttered a few more words, before Chang Youxijiao pulled her up from the ground, and then hurriedly said to Chang Youxi what happened just now, but as soon as she got up, she was interrupted by Chang Youxi.
Chang Youxi said that she was at the gate of the courtyard just now, and she heard everything, so she didn't have to explain it a second time.
Ning Shuang obediently stopped her mouth, and then blinked a pair of big eyes and asked Chang Youxi: "Miss, what should I do now?" Miss, she has already gone to invite the lord and the lady. ”
After finishing speaking, he suddenly looked Chang Youxi up and down, only to find that the set of clothes Chang Youxi was wearing was not the one he wore when he went out, and he couldn't help but wonder and asked, "Miss, why did you go out and your clothes have changed?" ”
"It's a long story, I'll talk to you later." Chang Youxi said, and then thought of her question just now, so he hooked his lips and smiled, and said, "As for this matter, it's okay, you don't have to worry, she sent it to the door herself, so don't blame me for being polite." ”
Ning Shuang blinked her eyes in a daze, obviously not understanding, tilted her head and asked, "Miss, what are you talking about?" What do you mean? Slaves don't understand! ”
Chang Youxi touched her head, explained with a smile and ordered: "I'll go into the house now, don't come out, and when they come later, you will still block the door, just say the same as before, if the eldest lady says that she wants to come in, you get out of the way, let her in, and the rest will be handed over to me, understand?" ”
After listening to it this time, Ning Shuang nodded and said, "I understand, I understand, it's just that you have been in the house all the time in the young lady, and you haven't gone out, it's the eldest lady who is deliberately framing you!" ”
Hearing this, Chang Youxi smiled, pinched her nose, and said, "Yes, that's what it means, when the time comes, you act when you see the opportunity, don't let yourself get hurt." ”
Ning Shuang patted her chest and promised: "Miss, don't worry, the slave will definitely do what you tell you, and I will never miss the pool!" ”
Chang Youxi listened, nodded with satisfaction, and then turned around and entered the bedroom, after entering, first showed a set of clothes that he usually wears, changed the set he was wearing, and then put the clothes on the top of the wardrobe, the most conspicuous position, to ensure that you can see it as soon as you open the wardrobe.
Then, for the sake of safety, she wrapped the pharmacology book that Ruan Qingfeng gave her with other clothes and stuffed it under the bed.
After doing all this, she took off her shoes and went to bed, pulled over the quilt and fell asleep with her head covered, and rolled twice on the bed by the way, making her hair a little messy, and it looked like she had slept for a long time.
In the process of waiting for Chang Yuandao and the eldest lady to come, Chang Youxi was a little bored, so he let go of his thoughts and thought wildly.
Thinking about it, she suddenly thought of the man who wanted to scare her lightly, she didn't know if that person was really a playboy who went to Qinglou to have fun, but she just happened to meet her, or was this person also arranged by Chang Qin?
Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental that the two appeared in the same room at the same time? Don't those men order girls when they come to the Qinglou? Pushed open the door and saw a woman inside, so I took it directly? Or do the people in Qinglou actually eat dry rice? Don't you know she's not a girl from Qinglou? And let her stay inside.
Chang Youxi was a little skeptical, she thought that the person in the Qinglou should have received the money to do things, but she still had doubts about the identity of the playboy, and she was also suspicious about why this matter was so coincidental.
Chang Youxi lay on the bed and thought about it for a long time, but he still didn't come up with a reason, so he put the playboy in Chang Qin's line in line with the psychology of preferring to kill by mistake and not let go, thinking that they were in a group.
Of course, what Chang Youxi doesn't know is that the playboy in her mouth is actually the most favored by the emperor today.
And what happened that day was actually like this, Chang Qin's people used silver to buy the old bustard in the Qinglou, promised to let them stay in the Qinglou for a while, and led them to a room casually.
