Chapter Thirty-Four
In Hong Ying's boudoir, Jin Xiangxiang and Lin Wanyu were ambushed in the dark, staring directly at Hong Ying's room with red candles, thinking about when to catch the traitor.
The courtyard door was pushed open with a creak, and Gu Siming tiptoed to Hongying's courtyard, rubbing his hands together, covering up the anxiety and joy in his heart.
If he had felt a little inappropriate before, but now that he came so sneakily, he had a sense of stealth excitement, and pressed the tension in his heart, Gu Siming brushed his robe, looked at Hongying's door politely, and said, "Cousin is there?" ”
And no one in the room answered, Gu Siming boldly pushed the door in.
Jin Xiangxiang stood up and snorted coldly: "It's time to go in and catch the traitor." ”
Lin Wanyu shook her head and said, "No, if we go in like this, at most we can prove that Hongying and Gu Siming are dating privately late at night, and we can't catch the evidence of Chu Hongying's moral corruption, and the princess is patient and waiting." ”
"How long will it take?" Jin Xiangxiang said impatiently.
"When they turn off the lights, we'll be able to catch her when we go in again." A cold light flashed on Lin Wanyu's delicate face, and the corners of her mouth hooked the arc of the evil man.
Taking advantage of the moonlight, Jin Xiangxiang shivered coldly, she was a little unpredictable, what kind of heart this Lin Wanyu had. But no matter what she's thinking, when she has no use value, she will unceremoniously eradicate the dark thunder around her.
Gu Siming pushed the door and entered Hongying's room, only to see a few plates of pastries on the desk, and there was no one in the room. He was suspicious, but after thinking about it, she must have gone out in a hurry, and he was waiting for her here.
Thinking so, Gu Siming sat down quietly, and after sitting for a long time was bored, he saw a thick stack of books behind the sandalwood screen of Hongying, he picked up the book and looked at it, it is the most popular "Deep Courtyard" at the moment, and it is a love story often told by storytellers in Beijing.
He couldn't help but smile, turned the first page, and saw that the page read: Acacia dreams in front of the window for a night, and the end of the cape is endless. He couldn't help but be interested, and looked through the pages one by one, because he was so serious that he actually fell asleep on Hongying's chaise longue, and the red candles in Hongying's room burned out, and the night was suddenly splashed with a thick ink.
Jin Xiangxiang couldn't sit still anymore, so he ordered someone to invite someone from the Prime Minister's Mansion to come to Hongying's room to catch the traitor. As soon as Chu Qingxiangfu heard the news, he thought that Chu Luo felt that his yard was uneasy, so he went to Hongying's courtyard and continued to fly away. This is a good thing, if before his birthday, the matter of them being in the same room was exposed, he could just announce in front of the guests that Hongying was his granddaughter-in-law's business, not bad, Chu Luo, this kid is really getting more and more progressive.
Chu Qingxiang hurried to Hongying's courtyard slowly, and at first glance, he saw Jin Xiangxiang leading people to guard Hongying's courtyard, and when he saw him coming, he smiled and said, "Xiangye, you can come." ”
Chu Qingxiang shuddered and hurriedly asked, "Princess, why are you here?" ”
"I just heard that Hongying was having an affair with someone, so I also brought someone to take a look, but I didn't expect you to come, Prime Minister." Jin Xiangxiang said with a light smile, but Chu Qingxiang narrowed his fox eyes, and saw a bit of unusual taste from her flickering eyes.
So, he hurriedly ordered someone to smash open Hongying's door, but was surprised to find that her door was not locked.
The dazzling torch lit up Hongying's room, and Gu Siming, who was dozing off, was suddenly awakened, and glanced at the visitor, feeling like a thief, and his face turned pale.
And Chu Qingxiang was also stunned, he hurriedly looked on the bed, but found no trace of Hongying, and couldn't help but ask him suspiciously: "Why are you here?" ”
Gu Siming's eyes flickered; "I just passed by Hongying's room, and when I saw that her light was still on, I came in to help her organize things, who ever wanted to see a book, and thought it was interesting to look at it and forget the time, I lost my temper."
Jin Xiangxiang snorted coldly and said, "You lie, I clearly saw you sneaky, Hongying, you come out for me, don't think you can escape this catastrophe." ”
Lin Wanyu tugged at her sleeve and whispered, "Princess, if you do this again, Chu Qingxiang's old fox will suspect us." ”
Jin Xiangxiang realized her gaffe at this time, but she was unwilling to return empty-handed, at least to let Chu Luo know that Hongying was a water-based poplar woman.
And Chu Qingxiang had already guessed the truth from their respective demeanors, and he secretly decided to strengthen the vigilance of the Prime Minister's Mansion, otherwise his obedient granddaughter-in-law would definitely be framed by others.
So he relieved the siege and said: "This matter is just a misunderstanding, maybe some servants have ulterior motives, and it is unknown if they want to fan the flames." ”
Lin Wanyu smiled slightly and said euphemistically: "Since it was a misunderstanding, then the princess and I will retire." After she finished speaking, she pulled Jin Xiangxiang away.
And Chu Luo was also attracted by the movement of Hongying's courtyard at this time, the servant said that Miss Hongying was fornicating with someone, he was surprised, Hongying was clearly in his room, why did he fornicate with someone? So he came over to take a look, it was Gu Siming in Hongying's house, did Hongying's medicinal food want to share the joy of fish and water with Gu Siming. No, it's unlikely, if that's the case, she definitely doesn't need to bring it to his room to feed him, maybe she just has a cold and is delirious.
Back in the room, through the red candle, looking at the seriously ill and unconscious Hong Ying, Chu Luo's lotus petals emaciated ten fingers moved slightly, carefully touched her blurred outline, and muttered: "Hong Ying, Hong Ying, what should I do with you?" He minded her watery poplar, minded that she treated others better than him, but he was more worried about her.
"Bang dang!" Jin Xiangxiang smashed a precious blue and white porcelain vase, looked at Lin Wanyu with a cold face, and said, "This is your idea, the face of this palace has been lost by you." ”
Lin Wanyu still maintained a gentle smile and said with a smile: "Our plan has not failed. ”
"Catch the traitor and catch the double, we only caught one Gu Siming, so we invited Xiangye to come, what will Xiangye think of my character?" Anyway, the words of the matchmaker of the parents' orders, Chu Luo's marriage event, nine times out of ten, the Xiangye is in charge, she made the Xiangye dissatisfied this time, if she marries Chu Luo in the future, how can she gain a foothold in the Xiangfu?
Lin Wanyu shook her head and said: "We didn't fail, today because of the rape, we have alarmed a lot of people, many servants must have heard about the tryst between Hong Ying and Gu Siming, have they seen the truth, what to say in their mouths, naturally there is no need to be taboo, princess, do you say yes?" ”
"What do you mean by that?" Jin Xiangxiang still can't react, she has always liked to severely punish minions, to achieve the effect of setting an example, and giving advice to this kind of thing is not what she is good at.
"If we say that Hong Ying and Gu Siming had a private meeting in the middle of the night and did something degrading to women's morals, and then spread it out by the servants, they were talking nonsense, do you think Hong Ying can still clean herself?" Lin Wanyu spoke softly, but there was a chill in her words.
"It's groundless!" Jin Xiangxiang smiled knowingly and said, "She can't escape with this trick, and she can't escape if she doesn't escape, it's really hard to escape!" ”
"It's just that the princess still needs to beware of a little Xiangye, don't use our people to make this rumor, it's best to buy Hongying's personal maidservant, even if something goes wrong, we can find a scapegoat." Lin Wanyu's foresight made Jin Xiangxiang's wariness of her aggravated by several layers, because such a wise man, if it was just for her to worry about, she would never believe it.
And Lin Wanyu also knew that her role in Jin Xiangxiang was to get Chu Luo for her, if she had no use value, Jin Xiangxiang might not let her go easily, so she had to do a good job in her role as a think tank, so that she could not leave her for the time being.
As soon as the sky was hazy and bright, the morning glow in the eastern sky rolled up a thousand layers of red, and spread all the way to the western sky, just like the speed of rumors, one to ten, ten to hundred, and one hundred to thousand.
Chu Luo carefully took care of Hongying all night, changing wet wipes, feeding medicine, and tucking the quilt corners, and didn't fall asleep all night. At this time, he heard the rooster crowing, he stared at the black circles and walked out of the yard, intending to practice his muscles and bones and refresh himself, but he heard someone behind the shade of the tree talking: "Have you heard, the young lady in our house had a private meeting with someone last night and was caught by Xiangye." ”
"Really? But how did I hear that Gu Siming failed to seduce Miss, and because of love and hatred, he relied on Miss Boudoir to give Miss ......"
"What you said is not right, it is clear that the young lady deliberately seduced Gu Gongzi, and the seduced Gu Gongzi went to her room, and there is a note she gave to Gu Gongzi as proof."
“……”
The servants were talking nonsense, but they didn't know that Chu Luo was standing behind them, and asked, "Where did you hear the news?" "Hongying was clearly in his room, and her grandfather had proved last night that it was just a misunderstanding. This group of family members actually dared to spread rumors and make trouble.
One of them said: "Paper can't hold the fire, this matter has spread all over our house." ”
One of the maids walked over, saluted Chu Luo, and said to those rumor-mongers: "What kind of rumors did you make, Miss Hongying obviously never went out in the young master's room last night, how could something happen to Gu Siming, someone must be trying to frame Miss, you don't help Miss but help outsiders, how can the young master protect you?" ”
Her words woke Chu Luo up, Chu Luo was secretly ashamed, everyone else trusted Hong Ying so much, but he doubted her, he should show manly spirit and take responsibility for Hong Ying.
So he stood with his hands in his hands, and said sternly to the housekeepers, "Whoever you heard this from, bring that man here, or else you will report to the governor." ”
Compared with the rice bowl, the buddy's affection is nothing at all, so it didn't take long for the group of family members to bring the rumor-mongers to Chu Luo, Chu Luo ordered them to continue digging deeper, he wanted to see who was making trouble in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
