Chapter 33: The Scourge of Ling Lanxiang
Hua Rong nodded, "Maybe that's the case, Miss, don't forget, the last time Mama Xu was at the reception banquet, she has always been loyal, but she doesn't know whether to live or die to help the second miss who is unknown, what is it for?" ”
A hint of cunning flashed in Nalan Yanqin's eyes, "You're right, don't tell your mother about this matter first, anyway, Mama Xu has been secretly executed by her mother, and when I find an opportunity, I will definitely let that wild species show its fox tail." ”
Then, Nalan Yanqin hooked her finger at Hua Rong, motioned her to approach, and after whispering a few words in her ear, Hua Rong retreated.
Before the middle of the time, Ruyi quietly disposed of the blood-stained cloth, and when she came back, she happened to meet Hua Rong in the bamboo forest in the backyard, she politely bent down and was about to leave, but Hua Rong grabbed her arm.
"Sister Ruyi, where are you going to do this?" Huarong is unusually close to her.
Ruyi is not stupid, Hua Rong is Nalan Yanqin's maid, and she will not really make friends with her at all, Ruyi just asked politely, "Sister Hua Rong, do you have something to do with me?" ”
On the surface, Ruyi still did a lot of work, and she didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble for Miss.
"Look at you, can't I play with you if I'm fine?"
Hua Rong smiled kindly, "It's been a few days since you entered the mansion, how can you just stay in Zilanyuan, if you have time, you should come out to get close to our sisters, right?" ”
Ruyi declined, "Miss can't do without my care, if Sister Huarong wants to talk to me, let's go back to Zilanyuan and say, my young lady treats people very well, if Sister Huarong goes to play, she should be very happy." ”
Ruyi means that she has something to say in front of Nalan Wuyu, in order to prevent herself from being framed by Hua Rong, she just wants to leave here quickly and go back to Zilan Garden, with Miss's intelligence, she can see everything at a glance, so she is not worried about taking Hua Rong back, and she also knows that Hua Rong does not dare to go to Zilan Yuan with her at all, otherwise she will not block her here in private.
Hua Rong's face became a little stiff, but she didn't expect Ruyi, the little girl, to look honest and simple, but she didn't give her any chance to sow discord, but Hua Rong still smiled, "Actually, I also came on the order of the eldest lady, you know, the eldest lady was injured a few days ago, and she is about to get better, the lord said that she was okay and apologized to the second lady, but our eldest lady is thin-skinned and embarrassed to come to the door to apologize in person, so let me give this thing to your second miss, I hope the second miss can ignore the past suspicion for the sake of sisters' affection." ”
After speaking, Hua Rong took out a brocade box from his sleeve and opened it to see that there was a small box of precious jewelry, shining with gold and dazzling.
If she said that she was very sincere, her heart was somewhat shaken, but she didn't give such a precious thing to the young lady personally, what did she do with a slave?
Thinking of this, Ruyi waved his hand again and again, and stuffed the jewelry box in his hand back into Hua Rong's hand, "I'm used to being hairy, and I've never seen such valuable jewelry. ”
After some pushing and shoving, Ruyi quickly bent down after taking off the jewelry box, and then quickly left around Hua Rong.
Hua Rong blinked slowly, looking at the direction where Ruyi left, with a somewhat triumphant smile in her eyes, "Do you think it's okay if you don't want this box of jewelry?" ”
After Ruyi returned to Zilanyuan, her heart was still pounding nervously, and she was thinking all the way that there must be something wrong with the box of jewelry, maybe it was the one who framed her young lady.
She wanted to tell Miss about it, but when she went in and saw the sleeping girl on the bed, Ruyi held all her guesses back into her stomach, as long as she confiscated the box of jewelry, Miss was tired enough, and she couldn't disturb Miss anymore.
In the evening, Nan Qiao opened her eyes slightly tiredly, looking at the not bright room, she was going to turn over and sleep again, but who knows, the courtyard outside was noisy.
"Ruyi, you dare to steal the eldest lady's things, do you know what it is?" A shrill voice entered the room.
Then a soft voice said, "This is the palace tribute Ling Lanxiang, Miss Ben knows that the second sister is from the countryside and has never seen such a good thing, so she instructed you to steal, but this is given to me by the queen's mother, Miss Ben is reluctant to use it, for fear of desecrating such a good thing, but let you steal a little maid to your master, you say, Miss Ben cut off your hands according to the family rules, or directly beat you to death?" ”
"Miss, the slave didn't steal any Ling Lanxiang at all, all of this was framed by Hua Rong." Ruyi argued.
Hua Rong sneered, "Framed? In the afternoon, you pretended to talk to me in the backyard, and pushed me, but many maids saw it, I didn't pay attention at that time, Ling Lanxiang was stolen after you left, you said, did your second lady instruct you to steal Ling Lanxiang! ”
"Nope! You framed me for all this, and that's not the case. ”
Nalan Yanqin sneered, "Of course the thief who stole something will not admit it, what kind of master really has what kind of slave and maid, the second sister has never seen the world, how did she know that stealing the palace tribute spices has violated the law of Daye, not to mention that this is something given to Miss Ben by the queen's mother, once the evidence is conclusive, the second sister is offended the queen, how serious the crime of trespass is, Miss Ben doesn't need to say more, right?" If you honestly admit this matter, we will be private, and you will chop off a pair of hands of your master and servant, and if you deny it to death, when the evidence of the crime is conclusive, Miss Ben will report the matter to the queen, and the queen will decide! ”
Ruyizheng's face was red and his neck was thick, "I didn't steal, my young lady doesn't know anything, all this is framed by you!" ”
Nalan Yanqin raised her chin, "You really don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin, the nose of the beast is the smartest, it can smell a little bit of this incense, since you don't want to admit it... Moonscape, let the dogs go! ”
Yuexiang is another personal maid beside Nalan Yanqin.
"Let go of me, this is Miss's house, you can't let the dog in."
The room was opened by Yuexiang, and a wolf dog rushed directly into Nalan Wuyu's room, Yuexiang immediately locked the door, and Nalan Yanqin sat elegantly on the stone bench in the courtyard, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, waiting quietly.
And the flower behind her hugged her hands, and her eyes were even more proud, she said with a smile, "Miss, this dog is very fierce, what if it bites the second miss?" ”
Yue Maung also had a smile on her face, "Sister Huarong, why should she worry about a thief who steals?" What the lord hates the most is stealing, not to mention that these two young ladies also instructed their subordinates to steal the palace tribute spices, what if they anger the queen and implicate the entire Nalan Mansion? ”
Nalan Yanqin raised her eyebrows, "My father feels most sorry for the second sister, if he knows that the second sister is a thief... Huh..."
Ruyi was suppressed by the rest of Nalan Yanqin's maids and couldn't move, and the original maids in the courtyard were here to monitor Nalan Wuyu, so they didn't come forward to help Nalan Wuyu, just stood by and watched the excitement.
"Woooooooooo
"Ahh Don't come here, get out of here! ”
The dog barking in the house continued, mixed with the crying of the girl, and none of the maids in the courtyard outside entered the house to see the situation, and everyone guessed that Nalan Wuyu must have been torn to pieces by the wolf dog.
"Miss, listen, it seems to be very exciting inside?" Hua Rong said on the side.
"Yes, Miss, at this time, the second miss will not die, she must be scarred." The moonscape also echoed.
Nalan Yanqin did not speak, sipping the fragrant tea sent by the maids with a smile.
Ruyi had more than enough heart but not enough strength, staring at Nalan Yanqin angrily and gritting her teeth, "You hurt my young lady so much, the master will know the truth sooner or later, and the master will definitely administer justice for my young lady." ”
Nalan Yanqin glanced at Ruyi unhappily, "This maid is very noisy, you cut off her tongue for Miss Ben to feed the dog!" ”
Hua Rong bent down and whispered in Nalan Yanqin's ear, "Miss, don't worry, if you want to cut off this's tongue, you have to wait for her to identify the second miss." ”
Nalan Yanqin frowned impatiently after hearing this, "Teach her a good lesson, until she identifies that wild seed." ”
Hua Rong nodded slightly, then stood up straight and glanced at the maids, who immediately understood something, dragged Ruyi aside, and began to palm.
Within a few sticks of incense, the room was already quiet.
Nalan Yanqin raised her chin slightly, with a smile in her eyes, "What if this beast bites the second sister to death?" ”
Yuexiang explained with a smile, "Miss just retrieved the tribute Ling Lanxiang, and accidentally let this beast bite someone, why are you wrong?" She then lowered her voice and said beside Nalan Yanqin, "When the second miss was sleeping, the thing slave maid asked people to put it under her pillow, and the young lady will go in and search it now." ”
Nalan Yanqin stood up, "Well done, have the other sisters notified?" ”
Yuexiang said respectfully, "The ladies of each hospital have been notified, and they must be here soon." ”
"That's good, let people keep an eye on me, people will immediately open the lock as soon as they arrive, and... At this time of the year, there would be people in the palace to pass the decree, and my father should be back soon..."As she spoke, Nalan Yanqin couldn't help but chuckle a few times.
Not far away, I saw several other young ladies with many maids coming late, Nalan Yanqin gave a look, and Hua Rong went up to open the door lock, and then entered the house to see how the situation was inside.
Nalan Yanqin frowned, and greeted several sisters with a worried face, among them, Nalan Suru asked puzzled,
"What did the eldest sister ask us to do in her yard?"
Nalan Yanqin sighed, "It's really hard to say, didn't the queen give me a box of tribute Ling Lanxiang before, today I saw that the pattern on the box of Ling Lanxiang was a little old, so I asked Huarong to take it to plate a layer of gold leaf, who knew that after coming back, I met the second sister's maid Ruyi, that little cheap hoof directly stole Ling Lanxiang to the second sister, no wonder the second sister, she came from that kind of place, naturally she has never seen this kind of good thing, presumably after Ruyi stole it from her, she hid it, otherwise, two full hours have passed since the afternoon, She didn't take the initiative to return it to me at Sequoia Garden. ”
Saying that, she shook her head helplessly, "If it's something else, give it to her, it's Ling blue incense, this Ling blue incense is expensive, David can only make ten boxes a year to send to Chang'an, because the fragrance is unique and long-lasting, and has the effect of calming the nerves, only the concubines in the palace can use it, if there is no reward from the mothers, let alone an identity like her, even I don't dare to use it casually!" In case the queen mother knows about it, it angers the queen..."Nalan Yanqin wanted to speak and stopped.
