Chapter 108: An Inexplicable Marriage Contract
An undisguised sound of footsteps behind her stopped, Nan Qiao turned around, but saw Chengfeng with many soldiers bowing to her,
"Second Miss, my subordinates have finally found you!"
Nan Qiao frowned slightly, seeing him must be seeing Ji Wuyu soon, but it really gave her a headache.
I wanted to go back to the cave and leave with Fujun, but I heard Chengfeng Dao, "Mr. Fu was injured, and his subordinates just met him over there, so he asked the people below to take him back to heal, Second Miss don't worry!" ”
"I see."
At this time, it was impossible to even find a chance to get rid of Chengfeng, so Nan Qiao had to obediently follow them away.
Before going down the mountain, Nan Qiao also learned that the Zhuangzi where she lived a few days ago had caught fire overnight, and now it was already in ashes, and the soldiers had not found anything alive or useful, and finally had to return in vain.
Even though Nan Qiao doesn't like to talk to Chengfeng very much, he can't help but ask, "When did the fire catch fire?" ”
Chengfeng replied, "It seems that it was last night, because Zhuangzi is deep in the forest, but because there are natural stone walls around it, even if it is on fire, it is generally invisible from the outside!" ”
Nan Qiao was silent again in thought.
When she returned to the Hades Station, Nan Qiao had breakfast, and the officials here were very friendly, prepared a change of clothes for her, and specially arranged for two maidservants to serve her.
It made her a little embarrassed to be so thoughtful.
As soon as I changed my clothes, there was a commotion outside, as if something was going on in the street?
She was just about to go out, but at some point, the door was locked, presumably someone had taken the opportunity to lock it when she was changing her clothes.
"What's going on?" In this case, someone is locked for no reason, and no one is in a good mood.
The maidservants who were waiting in the room did not speak, and they were all sullen and upset.
Nan Qiao was about to open the window, but at this time he found that the window was nailed and could not be opened at all.
At this moment, it seemed faintly heard outside that it was the Patriotic Mission, and after a short period of commotion, the place fell silent.
Nan Qiao sat back on the round stool, and had already scolded the person who ordered her to lock her up thousands of times in her heart, except for Ji Wuyu, who else is so perverted?
Two hours later, the door outside was locked, and she set off with Ji Wuyu's team.
As soon as she got into the carriage, Ji Wuyu followed in, obviously, she was defenseless at all, except to stare at him.
After the carriage walked around, she asked angrily, "Why did you lock me up in the morning?" ”
He said it as a matter of course, "Ruyang Hou has come to you, and this king doesn't want you to see him!" ”
"Why do you mind my business?" Nan Qiao was very angry, there were some things, she wanted to ask Cen Xi in person, but was stopped by Ji Wuyu, he was really idle, annoying!
Ji Wuyu seemed to be a little tired, so he didn't speak, but leaned slightly against the wall of the car and closed his eyes to recuperate, which was so uncomfortable.
Nan Qiao gritted her teeth and didn't look at him, but quietly sat on the side opposite him, lifted the curtain and looked at the scenery along the way, and at some point, the carriage shook her to sleep.
When she woke up again, it was already dusk and night, Nan Qiao opened her eyes and looked, only to find that it was her boudoir, and saw Ruyi and two little maids guarding her bed.
"Miss is awake?" Ruyi cried and said with a sad face, "Miss, you don't know, you have disappeared for no reason in the past few days, but you can worry the slave and maid!" ”
"Am I not back?" Nan Qiao sat up from the bed, and then took a closer look at Ruyi's face, which was obviously red and swollen.
Who dares to touch her maid in this house right now!
"Who hit it?"
Ruyi pursed her lips and didn't say, but a little maid next to her said, "Miss, the old lady came back in the morning and had a big temper, Ruyi and the other maids were just slapped in the mouth, which is quite light, you don't know, Aunt Zhao was punished the most ruthlessly, and being slapped is not counted, at this time she is still kneeling in the old lady's yard!" ”
"Old lady?" Nan Qiao had only heard that the old lady liked to be quiet, and except for being picked up by her father during the Spring Festival, she basically enjoyed Qingfu in other places, and generally did not return to Nalan Mansion.
The little girl nodded, "It's the old lady, and I don't know where the old lady got the news, as soon as she came back, she released the Li family, and punished Aunt Zhao and a slave again, if it weren't for Aunt Yao being pregnant, I am afraid it would be difficult to escape punishment!" ”
"Where's my father?" Nan Qiao asked again.
Ruyi took over the words, "The lord has not returned to the house yet, and it is estimated that the case of the prince of the Southern Jin Dynasty continues, and the lord is afraid that he will not be able to return to the house in the future." ”
Nan Qiao was a little upset when she heard this, the case of the prince's brother dragged on for almost two months, and she was an insider, if she didn't say it, who would know that the southern concubine in the palace was the prince of the Southern Jin Dynasty, but Ji Wuyu was too cunning, and deliberately handed over the matter to his father, and then sent his father to Chang'an City, I'm afraid it's not that simple.
It seems that I have to go to the palace another day to discuss it with my brother, and maybe my brother can guess something.
"Bang-" and the door was kicked open.
Nan Qiao was shocked, instinctively a little surprised, because no one had ever dared to kick her door.
In came a woman in her early forties, followed by several handmaidens with unkind eyes, the woman was dressed in a blue and blue cloth dress, with a burly figure, with a contemptuous smile on her face, and a short whip in her hand unconsciously beating on the palm of her hand.
"Yo, this is the second miss?" Her gaze was on the man on the bed.
The maids in the house were like mice that had seen a cat, and they knelt on the ground in a hurry, including Ruyi.
"I've seen Mama Zheng!" Everyone spoke in unison, and there was obvious respect in their tones.
Nan Qiao leaned her back against the head of the bed and did not move, but quietly looked at the person who came unkindly, as if to see what she wanted to do next.
Mama Zheng approached the bedside unceremoniously, looked at Nan Qiao condescendingly, and said, "Second Miss, don't think that if you are the future princess, you don't need to ask the old lady for peace, there are no rules, there is no square circle, the second miss has not married into the palace for a day, she is the daughter of this Nalan Mansion for a day, and there should still be filial piety, don't let people say that our Nalan Mansion has no rules!" ”
Nan Qiao was stunned, she suspected that her ears were not hearing clearly, and asked, "What princess, you can make it clear!" ”
Mama Zheng sneered and said mockingly, "Second Miss, don't pretend, the holy decree has come down today, what have you done in the past few days of disappearance Second Miss knows in her heart that this noble girl who has not left the pavilion has done this kind of thing, if it were someone else's family, I am afraid that she would have sunk directly into the pond!" ”
Nan Qiao looked at her puzzled, "What nonsense are you talking about?" ”
Mama Zheng obviously didn't take Nan Qiao in her eyes, "The second lady is a noble girl of Nalan Mansion, and she hasn't returned for five days, if you want to say that she didn't have a relationship with a man, who believes it?" However, this reluctant man is the king of pacification, so the result is different, the second lady is really a good means! ”
Nan Qiao's eyes were cold, and he pointed to the door, "Get out!" ”
Mama Zheng was stunned for a moment, who in the mansion didn't know that she was the person next to the old lady, even if it was the Li family, she was polite when she spoke in front of her, and no one in Nalan Mansion dared to contradict her like this.
"Second Miss, the old lady asked me to invite you over! You'd better get up and go with the old slave! "Mama Zheng has a tough attitude.
"You didn't hear what I said, did you? Get lost! Nan Qiao's breath was a little uncontrollable.
Mama Zheng was not afraid, but continued to mock, "Heh! Second Miss, even if you are the future princess of Pingding, but the old lady, as your elder, has the right to train you well and take it away! ”
When the words fell, several maids behind him were about to come forward to drag Nan Qiao, but unexpectedly, the person on the bed did a somersault and directly kicked over several approaching maids, and Nan Qiao stood firmly on the ground.
Mama Zheng looked at the wailing maid all over the ground and was stunned, and after a while, she howled loudly, "Second Miss is so bold, how dare you..."
"Slap-" slap in the face, directly interrupting her words, suddenly, Mama Zheng only felt that her eyes were full of stars, her ears were buzzing, and after a while, she covered her face and said,
"You, you..."
"Miss Ben's boudoir will not allow slaves and maids to be wild! Go and tell my grandmother that it's getting late today, and that tomorrow I will go and greet her personally. ”
Where has Mama Zheng seen this kind of momentum in ordinary times, she has always bullied the soft and afraid of the hard, relying on the old lady's face and not taking anyone in her eyes, but she can't do anything with Nan Qiao at present, and finally hated Nan Qiao, and left Zilanyuan with the maid.
On a cold night, the Pingding Palace, which never lights up, actually lit a few lamps tonight, barely able to illuminate the road, as if it was waiting for someone to come.
Ji Wuyu stood by the lotus lake for a long time, the breeze was blowing, and the black royal robe that was blowing fluttered for a while.
A moment later, there was a faint voice behind him, and he didn't look back, as if he knew who was coming.
"It's so late, and it's not good to rest!"
Earlier, I heard that Ji Wuyu's methods were vicious, not close to women, and he would not compromise his means to achieve his goals, could it be that he guessed her identity and used this means to force her without evidence?
Thinking of this, Nan Qiao's back chilled, angry and annoyed, but he could only suppress himself, "Why does the prince bother so much, do you suspect that the courtiers are not a day or two, the courtiers have grown up on the border since childhood, different from the real nobles, if you really trace back to the roots, the courtiers have a humble status, except for some three-legged cat kung fu, it is not worth the prince's thoughts, right?" ”
"The second lady is so arrogant, but she just wants this king to come forward and withdraw from the marriage." Ji Wuyu turned around, as if he had seen through her thoughts.
She said along the way, "Since the prince has already known my intention to come this time, I would like to ask the prince and the courtier to withdraw from the marriage, and the courtier is grateful!" ”
"Divorce?" He walked towards her slowly, stood in front of her and picked up a strand of her hair hanging down and played with it, "The second young lady dares to speak so bluntly in front of this king, there must be a bargaining chip to divorce this king?" So you're here this time... Is it a negotiation with this king? ”
Nan Qiao only felt that he had a super sense of oppression, and it was too embarrassing to die before leaving the school, and her timbre tried to keep it as natural as possible to compete with him.
"It is worthy of the famous King of Pingding, but the courtier has not yet spoken, but the prince guessed!" She doesn't deny it.
