Chapter 128: Suffocation
The needles in the room can be heard, and the flower bones of a plain plum seem to be overwhelmed by the weight of water droplets, and they roll down from the branches into the soil of the flower pot before they open. Since then, there is no more opportunity to open, only scattered into mud.
Ji Erlan didn't say anything more, just slowly stepped back, stepped back again, and turned away in silence.
What she did may not be all right, but it is the most beneficial. Therefore, even if the Qin clan's misunderstanding of her could never be eliminated, she would not regret it. However, her mood still hit rock bottom. So much so that Twilight and the others waiting at the door didn't hear her call out.
It wasn't until she returned to the empty mountain Xiaozhu that she slowly exhaled a breath, and in a trance she felt that someone was following her, and when she looked up, it turned out to be Su Gu standing at the door worriedly. So he called her in and asked, "If you are not pregnant, why are you in a similar situation?" ”
Su Gu said: "I don't know yet, but it definitely won't be pregnant." Although the second wife was a little weak before, she did not have the common problems of cold and yin deficiency in the palace, and the menstrual affairs were also normal. So I'm worried that it's not a spontaneous illness of my wife, but that we've been negligent and have been taken advantage of. ”
Ji Erlan sighed slightly: "I think so too, but I can't think of anything missing." ”
Su Gu said: "According to my wife's symptoms, it will never be something that can kill people all at once, it must be chronic." Since it is chronic, it must not be a mistake in eating and using outside the house. The problem should still be in our house. ”
Ji Erlan's fingers tapped on the table in annoyance, and the depression in his chest still lingered there and refused to dissipate. Su Gu persuaded: "Er Lan, Mrs., she doesn't understand your hard work, because she doesn't know many things, and it is inevitable that she can't accept it for a while, you ...... Don't go to it in your heart. ”
The two siblings Ji Erlan and Su Gu Su Yu have always been treated as friends, not to mention that they are the nephews and nieces of the princess, so naturally they will not really be Langzhong in Jifu for a lifetime. Therefore, Ji Erlan has always asked the Su Gu brothers and sisters to call her by her name, instead of calling her 'second girl' like other slaves. "I don't blame her, if it were me, I'm afraid it would have been more intense than hers."
Su Gu nodded and said, "Well, I will carefully check what my wife eats on weekdays, which is chronic and must be in constant contact." ”
When Ji Erlan saw Su Gu go out, Gu Zi sat for a while, but still felt that it was difficult to settle down in his heart, so he ordered: "Moon Xi, you stay in the mansion to take care of my aunt, and the twilight rain and twilight leaves go out with me." ”
Several girls knew that she was in a bad mood, so she changed her clothes neatly and obediently.
The people who came and went in the market were busy for their own livelihoods, and Ji Erlan walked aimlessly, looking at the various faces, feeling infinitely embarrassed. How can she be favored by God and go back. If you look ahead and look backwards, you really shouldn't hesitate.
Today, the Qin clan misunderstood her, and tomorrow the day after, there may be others who are difficult to understand what she has done and obstruct and oppose it. If she can't bear it, how can she change the trajectory of her life in her previous life?
Ji Erlan was distracted, turned the corner and heard the noise of horses' hooves, and looked up to see that a luxurious and spacious carriage had approached, and Twilight followed her uneasily, but she didn't react this time. The three of them stood on the street so rightly, blocking the carriage of the Song family in the Anguo Mansion.
If it weren't for the driver's quick reaction, the horse that hit the head could almost be attached to Ji Erlan's face. He tugged at the reins and shouted, "You don't want to die! ”
The people who were busy retreating around, when they saw this scene, immediately stood and watched the excitement, Ji Erlan frowned slightly and didn't want to pay attention, but an old but very majestic woman's voice came from the car: "What's the matter?" ”
The coachman immediately turned sideways and said through the curtain: "Back to the old lady, someone is careless and blocking the car." ”
"Just drive people away, what are you delaying here!" Old Madam Song was in a very bad mood. Lao Anguo has been sick for many years, and his body has become weaker and weaker recently, and he has seen that he has stepped into the ghost gate with half a foot. So today, Mrs. Song entered the palace to meet the Queen Mother to discuss the hereditary title. Because the most promising third son Song Zhan died, the title could only fall on the boss's head, and various emotions such as helplessness and regret made her heart difficult to be happy, so her tone was also very stern and dissatisfied.
Seeing that it was Mrs. Song's carriage, Ji Erlan frowned and was about to retreat, but who knew that the coachman listened to Mrs. Song's harsh reprimand, and did not dare to slack off, so he threw a whip at the three of them, wanting to drive them aside. Unexpectedly, Twilight Rain, who was a step slower, was being whipped by the tail of the whip and screamed. The sleeves of his shirt were torn by the force of the whip, and blood poured out.
Ji Erlan's heart was already on fire, and a fire rushed to the top of her head, took out the whip that Cheng Xiaoxiao had forced into her from her waist, slammed her hand, dragged the coachman off the carriage, and said angrily: "Whose slave!" is so short-sighted, could it be that this world is not the emperor's, but your family's? ! How dare you be so domineering! ”
Of course she knew that this was the Song family's carriage, but so what? She had already been against the Song family, not only because of Song Yuheng's hostility, but also because of her relationship with King Du.
The crowd of onlookers was immediately stunned and kept pointing.
The coachman didn't expect the little lady in front of him to be so clever, she fell to the ground unprepared, screaming in pain, and the scars on her arms were impartial, which was where Twilight was injured. The guards of the Song family who followed behind the carriage didn't expect such a big mess to happen in a moment, so they immediately stepped forward to surround the three of Ji Erlan, pulled out their swords and pointed at them, and the leader scolded angrily: "Who are you, you are actually driving with the car that alarmed the Guogong Mansion!" I don't want to live anymore! ”
Ji Erlan laughed angrily, she has always been good at standing on the moral high ground to squeeze others, and she will not be reckless to quarrel when she quarrels, she must quarrel with reason: "Why, the Guogong Mansion can hurt people at will and kill people if they don't agree with each other?" Is it relying on the face of the Queen Mother, or the face of the future Queen Mother? Do they know that you wicked slaves are wantonly discrediting them? In the future, if there is anything bad to the two nobles, you will be the first to be pulled out and your heads will be cut off! But is there still a life to show off here? ”
The guards looked at each other by what she said, although the other party was covered by a hat and couldn't see her face, but seeing that she was well-dressed and her words were so harsh, I didn't know that it was the person in Beijing who was not easy to mess with, and they all immediately turned off their voices and didn't dare to make another time.
There are many people around whispering, muttering: "Whose little lady is this, so powerful!" However, what she said is not without reason! ”
"That is, in the future, the queen will be the mother of the world, if there are such villains who are smearing outside, it is not a good thing."
"This kind of thing, where can I say it clearly, do those big families still do less things that hurt nature and reason by relying on the rich and powerful?"
"What you said is also true, didn't the incident in Liu's Mansion a few days ago burn the little girl of the Li family alive? I saw Li Laohan go outside the city to worship a few days ago, poor you! White-haired people send black-haired people! Fortunately, he still has a son, otherwise there would be no one to support him! ”
"Oh, don't say it, so as not to get into trouble. These individuals are unreasonable! ”
The old lady Song in the carriage listened to Ji Erlan's sarcasm and the surrounding discussions, and finally couldn't listen to it anymore, and coughed lightly. The guards heard the movement of their master and made a gesture of bowing and obeying orders, and the people around them suddenly fell silent, and the coachman did not dare to roll and scream anymore.
Old Madam Song lifted the corner of the car curtain, glanced at Ji Erlan, who was covered by a long hat, and said to the guards on the side: "You all retreat, it's not a big deal, what you say is fatal." This coachman is indeed at fault for hurting people at will, and he will go to get the family law after returning home! ”
The ink beside Mrs. Song immediately understood, handed out a delicate purse, and said to Ji Erlan: "This girl is polite, this is the silver that accompanies you to treat your injuries, please accept it." ”
Twilight lifted Twilight and covered her wounds with a handkerchief for the time being. The two of them lowered their heads when they heard this, and they didn't dare to respond, this is someone from the Song family...... The first of the four valves. Subordinates like them are like ants in front of each other. If you say death, you will die, and there will be no two wisps of green smoke left.
Ji Erlan looked at the purse in the handmaid's hand, smiled and said, "I have already avenged this revenge on the spot, so there is no need for the silver, thank you for the kindness of Mrs. Song, and leave it at that." ”
With that, he staggered the guards and left with Twilight and Twilight Leaf without looking back. Dianmo withdrew his hand embarrassedly and said, "Whose little lady is this, so arrogant and rude." ”
Old Madam Song closed her eyes and leaned on the brocade cushion behind her, and snorted softly: "Always, it's a disobedience to my Song family." ”
Knowing that she was worried about the family business of the Song Mansion, Dianmo only silently kneaded her legs for her, and didn't dare to talk anymore.
This Ji Erlan took the two girls into the Baicao Hall, re-medicated Twilight Rain, and bandaged the wounds. When she came out, Twilight hesitated several times, but still whispered, "How can the girl casually bump into Mrs. Song?" The slave and maid are only slightly injured, and it is good to raise them, so why make others unhappy for the slave and maid? ”
Ji Erlan said: "People are good at being bullied, and horses are good at being ridden." If you blindly show weakness, others may not let you go. ”
Dusk Yu sighed lightly: "The matter of the Lan nobles last time was involved in the second girl of the Song family, which was already offended, and the master was worried about this matter for a long time, but fortunately, the Song family didn't make any trouble for us." ”
Ji Erlan was noncommittal, she understood that compared to the Yan family's fierceness, the Song family has always been a style of stabbing knives behind their backs, how could they not get along with her in the open, maybe they are secretly holding back something bad at this time. She didn't say anything more, and instead said: "I just heard someone talking about the Li family, but I was negligent, it's already winter, you guys prepare some clothes and bedding and send them to Li Chaosheng's house." ”
