Chapter XVI: Conspiracy
Xue Ningxiang, the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, is also different from other concubines because she was the first to be born in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The eyebrows are like Yuandai, the eyes are like autumn waves, the nose is hanging, and the lips are a little red. Slender posture, supporting the wind and weak willows, wearing white clothes, silver threads outlining a few falling petals, it is really picturesque.
It is said that she is the first beauty in the imperial capital, not only because of her beautiful appearance, but also because she knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Just now in Taoyuan, she had no intention of comparing, so no one was interested in provoking her, presumably because she knew her talent and did not allow anyone to provoke, so she didn't get up to ask for it.
Wuyu cast a grateful glance at her, Xue Xiangning just smiled softly and shook her head gently to signal that she didn't have to be polite. Wu Yu followed the maid to leave the table, and Lin Sien followed.
Wuyu stopped her, "Sien, I'll be back soon, you stay with your mother." ”
Mrs. Hou immediately refused, "Let's let Sien accompany you, the two of you grew up together, and you definitely won't be used to it without her by your side." ”
Wuyu knew that his mother was not at ease, so he asked Sien to accompany him, and Wuyu no longer refused, and left the banquet hall with Sien.
Duchess Zhenguo secretly glared at Li Jiuyue. As the master and a peer, Li Jiuyue should be the first to stand up and take care of it, but she gloated and let the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion take the lead.
Duchess Zhenguo said embarrassedly: "Mrs. Hou, I'm really sorry, the people in the mansion are really reckless, and Mrs. Ben will definitely punish him heavily." It's rare for everyone to get together today, but don't let this incident affect your mood. ”
Mrs. Ke also laughed and said, "Yes, yes, this is not a big deal, Mrs. Hou will definitely not take it to heart." ”
Mrs. Hou glanced at her, curled her lips and said without being salty: "Mrs. Ke can make decisions for Mrs. Ben?" ”
Without waiting for Mrs. Ke to argue, Mrs. Hou said again: "Duchess Zhenguo is talking to Mrs. Ben, when is it your turn to gag, Mrs. Ke?" ”
When she said this, Mrs. Hou's face turned obviously cold. Mrs. Ke choked, her face was blushing, but she couldn't answer.
In terms of identity, she naturally can't be compared with Mrs. Ding'an Hou and Duchess Zhenguo, she really shouldn't be too aggressive. But being counted down in front of so many people is really embarrassing, but she can't find an excuse.
Ke Jinfeng stood up and bowed slightly, and said, "Mrs. Hou, don't be annoyed, my mother is also kind..."
"Miss Ke has read the female precepts and women's precepts, and when the parents and elders speak, how can the juniors speak?"
After Mrs. Hou finished speaking, she glanced at her lightly. A young girl who hasn't been around for a long time still wants to fight with her? Ke Jinfeng said it nicely just now, but in fact, he alluded to Mrs. Hou's use of identity to oppress people, and as a result, she was said to be uneducated instead of accusing others.
As a lady for everyone, the most important thing in front of people is words and deeds, and now not only the mother is embarrassed, but also himself.
She really couldn't stand such humiliation, and when she stomped her foot, her apricot eyes were full of tears and bowed to the Duchess of Zhenguo, and she actually left the table. It was also embarrassing for Mrs. Ke to continue to stay, so she took advantage of this excuse to confess and chase out.
After watching this farce, everyone had no good impression of Mrs. Ke's mother and daughter, and couldn't help shaking their heads and sighing. The Duchess of Zhenguo hurriedly beckoned everyone to drink and eat, and after a while, everyone forgot about Mrs. Ke's mother and daughter.
Wuyu and Lin Sien followed the two maids to a courtyard, only to see that the garden was full of pines and cypresses. Wuyu was suspicious, stopped and asked, "Didn't the two sisters lead the wrong way?" Why doesn't it look like a backyard? ”
One of the green-dressed maids laughed and said: "Miss Shan San doesn't know, most of the courtyards in the guest rooms of our Zhenguo Mansion are planted with pines and cypresses, and the room in front is the guest room, Miss Shan San can go in to change her clothes, and the slaves and maids are waiting outside." ”
Glancing at the place pointed by the maid, Wuyu nodded, looked at Lin Sien and said, "Will you accompany me in?" ”
Lin Sien shook his head and smiled: "What, this is the Zhenguo Mansion, are you also afraid?" I'm just guarding outside, you change your clothes and come out, it's okay, don't worry! ”
Lin Sien made fun of himself in front of the two maids, and Wu Yu wanted to have a seizure and beat this naughty girl, but it was precisely because of the presence of outsiders that Wu Yu had no choice but to give up, glared at Lin Sien with his eyes, and then walked to the house.
After leaving without worry, the two maids looked at Lin Sien and smiled: "The two of us are just going to get something for Miss Yue, please keep watch here, we will be back soon." ”
Without waiting for Lin Sien to answer, the two left in a hurry. Lin Sien felt that something was wrong with them, so he quietly followed.
I only heard the green-robed maid patting her chest and whispering: "I'm scared to death, when Miss Shan asked just now, I thought she had found out." ”
The green-clothed maid smiled and said: "Otherwise, you can't hold your breath, and when the third prince achieves a good thing, our reward is indispensable." Let's go, let's quickly bring those ladies and ladies and sons over, and then we will sneak away and hide while people are unprepared, and when the matter is over, we can take the money and go home to reunite with our families." ”
The two maids went far away, and Lin Sien roughly understood what was going on. It seems that the three sons of the Zhenguo Mansion are in love, so they have used the means to attract them here, here I am afraid that it is the courtyard of the third son, and I am only afraid that it will be difficult to escape at this time!
Lin Sien's eyes flashed with excitement, "Yu'er, you and I are sisters, since there is a son who is so affectionate to you, then my sister will fulfill you, I hope you will be happy!" ”
Lin Sien turned around and left, and as soon as she left, someone came out of the shadows. He looked at the place where Lin Sien left, and then looked at the room where Wu Yu walked in, and without hesitation, he ran quickly to the house.
Pushing the door open and walking into the house, the light in the room was a little dim and a little weird. Wu Yu couldn't help but be alert, stepped into the house gently, and searched the room with his eyes. I didn't hear anything when I listened closely, and it was quiet.
After making sure that it was only him, he breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the screen and began to untie his clothes. It's just that she didn't know that a dark shadow was approaching her.
When Wuyu was about to take off the brocade clothes inside, she suddenly heard a slight heavy gasp, and her hand immediately stopped.
Being in a strange place, she was already wary, the room was already quiet, and she was sensitive, even if the sound was subtle, she still heard it.
