Chapter 57: Background
The moonlight was dim, the octagonal palace lamp on the eaves of the corridor was swaying obliquely by the wind, and Yan Lingtian stood indifferently under the corridor, his face extremely cold. "You mean, that day the Ji family's carriage had an accident, and Ji Erlan also fell into the water, and the prince went into the water to save people in person? It's impossible! ”
The slave also found it incredulous, but the news was. After Ji Erlan rescued Fang Qingxue, he immediately fell off the cliff. After that, someone on the east bank of Gushui, which is closest to the short cliff, saw the prince covered in water and got into the carriage of the palace. Then Lord Fang brought someone to find him. Ji Erlan and the maidservant girl are very good. "Shenxiang's words are clear, without hesitation, and she is obviously very sure of the accuracy of the message." Although the prince and the Fang family were very cautious afterwards, there was no one near Gushui, and there were always people who witnessed some. Although the slave and maid have wasted some strength, the news will not be wrong. ”
The doubts in Yan Ling's eyes faded away, and were replaced by a more cold look: "Even if you want to save people, there is no need for Lord Lao to go in person!" Who is this Ji Erlan? ”
Shen Xiang raised her head slightly, and was also very puzzled, and said: "It is not difficult to find out about the affairs of the Ji family when they were in Yangcheng, and Ji Erlan's second uncle is still in Yangcheng, and the mouth of the subordinate is not tight, so if you give some benefits, you will say everything." ”
"Huh, what did you say?" Yan Ling sneered, "What do those idiots know? What you see in your eyes and what you hear in your ears may not be true. You've seen Ji Erlan, do you think she's as stupid as the rumors say? ”
Of course, Fukata also felt strange, but she couldn't tell what was wrong. hesitated: "Does the girl think that it is fake that she has been bullied by her aunt and concubine for so many years?" But the slave didn't understand, since she had the ability to turn over, why did she need to be like this? ”
"I don't know...... Maybe it's because of the enlightenment when life is hanging by a thread. Yan Ling closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and slowly spit it out, and said: "No matter what she is, fortunately, Ji Chenglin is only a six-grade Dali Temple, even if he comes out because of King Duan's appreciation, it will be a matter of the future." Ji Erlan is a little-known small character, if there is an accident or trouble, not many people will pay attention to it. ”
Shen Xiang was taken aback: "The girl wants to do it?" But the prince ...... over there"
"If you don't do it now, will you wait until she gets a foothold?" Yan Lingtian has never been an indecisive person, she grew up in the Yan family, and the complex and cruel competitive environment made her learn to seize the opportunity. "It is impossible for the prince to have any intersection with her in the past, even if there is, it is a recent thing, in such a short time, even if the prince cares, how long can a dead man or a ruined daughter of a small household keep it in his heart?"
"That'...... What is the girl going to do? "Although Shen Xiang is Yan Lingtian's close maid, her identity is just a subordinate, and the things that the master decides are not something she can handle, only to obey.
"Hmph, Cheng Xiaoxiao has a deep holiday with her, and it is naturally best to borrow her hand." Yan Lingtian has been worried about the selection of concubines for a long time, and she has already thought about it, even if Du Wangye has no affection for her, he also has no affection for others. As long as she becomes the princess of Du, a husband and wife for a hundred days, and for a long time, King Du will always be interested in her.
Among the nobles in the capital, except for Song Yuheng, it is she Yan Lingtian. But Song Yuheng has always been running for the position of queen. So she almost regarded the title of Princess Du as something in her pocket. And now, a Ji Erlan appeared out of thin air, making King Du care a little! She couldn't pretend there wasn't such a thing!
Shen Xiang looked at Yan Lingtian's face and said cautiously: "Because of the death of the maidservant Yuan Yan, there was a lot of discussion in the capital, saying that the Cheng family was unjust, and Cheng Xiaoxiao almost didn't dare to show up. I'm afraid I won't be bothering Ji Erlan anymore in the near future. ”
This is not necessarily, at this time, the more Cheng Xiaoxiao is pressed by public opinion and does not dare to come out, and then she will hold more and more hatred towards Ji Erlan, if there are a few words of teasing, I am afraid she will not be able to help it. In short, act when you see the opportunity, if you have the opportunity, you must not let it go, and you must break her wings before Ji Erlan's wings are fledgling! ”
"Yes, girl!"
For a small half month, the Ji family's breakfast remained in a very strange state. Su Gu's medicinal diet, Ji Chenglin's concern, and Qin's flattery.
Ji Tianjiao wanted to rush out every time, and yelled at Ji Erlan, "Don't be complacent, your father's concern is fake!" Unfortunately, she had to endure it. Because Ji Rujun's words that day reminded her all the time that only by finding an opportunity to promote what her father wanted, they could get what they wanted. And Ji Rujun became more and more sure of her conjecture, and often reminded Ji Tianjiao quietly.
The entire Lan Ruo Pavilion was almost shrouded in conspiracy and calculation.
When midsummer comes, the wisteria next to the weeping flower gate is already crawling, and the weeping lilac flowers are embedded in the blue vines, like clouds and mist.
Ji Tianjiao was anxious in anticipation, and finally received a reply from Aunt Gu.
is long, and there are only a few sporadic sentences mentioning Ji Erlan's life experience, which are basically the ones she knows, and the rest are the same words as the usual letters, begging the Ji Tianjiao sisters to find a way to take her to Beijing.
Ji Tianjiao angrily crumpled the letter into a ball and threw it on the ground. Ji Rujun happened to come in, picked it up and read it up and down, and said, "Big sister, it seems that my aunt only knows this." ”
"What then? Is that all? Ji Tianjiao didn't want to let go of the opportunity to destroy Ji Erlan at all.
Ji Rujun glanced at Mo Yu, Mo Yu understood, and said: "Big girl, the slave thinks, although we can't prove that the second girl's background is different, isn't the second girl also unable to prove that her life experience is okay?" What matters is the old man's thoughts. If the old man is suspicious, even if he can't be sure, it will definitely have a lot of impact on the second girl. ”
Ji Tianjiao's brows gradually relaxed: "Yes, yes...... That's it, Ji Erlan doesn't look like his father at all, and even the Qin family can't find much similarity, this is the biggest evidence, why do we need to look for anything else to prove. In short, as long as my father hears the rumors and is suspicious of dark ghosts, we don't need to do anything more......"
Of course, the green frieze is happy to see his master gain power: "If the second girl is suspected, I'm afraid that the wife will also be implicated." ”
Of course, Ji Tianjiao was eager to get rid of the Qin family, but it was easier said than done, she couldn't kill people by herself. Even if Ji Chenglin had the intention to murder the Qin family, he had to do it without showing any traces, Ji Tianjiao didn't want to lose himself. Now, however, she seems to see the possibility of success.
At breakfast on the second day, Ji Chenglin still asked Qin with concern, but the strange look still did not escape Ji Erlan's eyes and Ji Rujun's attention. Su Gu took back the empty medicine bowl from Qin's hand and said: "Don't be too eager to recuperate, after all, it is a medicine that is poisonous, and the prescriptions I prepared for my wife are all very gentle, and they will not have much effect in a short period of time, and it will take a long time to see." ”
Ji Chenglin's expression was relaxed for a moment, and then he covered it up again, he nodded slightly, and said to the Qin family: "Take your time, if you really feel that your body can't bear it, let Er Lan help you with some trivial things." ”
Qin Shi responded. Ji Tianjiao smiled slightly on the side and said, "Don't worry, Daddy, my second sister and I will definitely try our best to help our mother." You say yes, second sister? ”
Everyone subconsciously looked at Ji Erlan, but Ji Tianjiao didn't wait for Ji Erlan to answer, so he continued: "Daddy, don't you know, the second sister can almost be compared to Song Yuheng Yan Lingtian in the women's school. ”
Ji Erlan looked up at Ji Tianjiao, Ji Tianjiao touched the coldness in his gaze, and his heart shrank slightly.
Ji Chenglin was surprised: "What you said is true? ”
If she could, of course Ji Tianjiao didn't want to say good things about Ji Erlan, but at this time she smiled very sincerely: "Yes, Daddy." Especially the appearance of the second sister, not inferior to Song Yan's second daughter. ”
Ji Chenglin looked at Ji Erlan in surprise, and Ji Erlan calmly raised his head to meet his gaze. A pair of breathtaking eyes, as if they can penetrate people's hearts.
Under such a gaze, Ji Chenglin's heart was almost empty for a moment, he could hardly believe that his daughter was so good? He is busy climbing wealth and wealth every day, and in order to earn camps for official careers, the thin little bean sprouts in the past have been reborn under his nose......
Ji Erlan glanced at Ji Tianjiao deliberately, Ji Tianjiao subconsciously wanted to withdraw his gaze, but looked back with a smile. "Right? Daddy, the second sister is really out. Moreover, when the eldest girl talked about it, the daughter noticed that she didn't know who she looked like, but she didn't look like her father, mother, and our brothers and sisters. ”
With a 'bang', the spoon in Qin's hand fell into the soup bowl, and the splashed soup fell all over his body.
Everyone looked at her, and Qin hurriedly said, "It's me who was careless, go and change your clothes first." ”
Ji Rujun didn't expect the Qin family to have such a reaction at all, although she felt that the incident back then could cause Ji Erlan a lot of trouble, but she never doubted her true background in her heart. But now it seems that she can't be sure, what is really not in it? Would a cowardly and timid person like the Qin family do such an unsightly thing?
Compared with Ji Rujun's restraint, Ji Tianjiao's surprise was simply written on her face. She hurriedly went to look at Ji Chenglin, only to see that his brows were slightly furrowed, his eyes were hesitant on Qin's back, and after a moment, it fell on Ji Erlan's face.
Of course, Ji Erlan caught the trace of panic in Qin's eyes, and couldn't help but have a trace of doubt. Of course, she knew about Ji Tianjiao's letter to Aunt Gu to inquire, but she had the same thoughts as Ji Rujun, and she never doubted her background at all. But what is A-Niang's reaction?
