Chapter Ninety-Six: Why Nothing?
At this time, the sky was already slightly dark, and the last remaining light on the edge of the sky not only did not illuminate the human face clearly, but also seemed to cover it with a thin layer of veil fog.
Tang Lu'er lowered his eyes slightly, but after looking at the pair of boots that went straight to him, he raised his eyes in confusion and looked at the person in front of him inquiringly.
The blurred light lined the facial features on his face more and more angular, and there was no special emotion in those deep eyes, just looked at her calmly, and only spoke for a long time: "Where are you going?" ”
"Oh, Mrs. Chen called me." Tang Lu'er said a little stunned, every time, he stood in front of her with such an obvious identity and status, and there were people next to him who were respectful to him, she didn't know whether it was the influence of others, or because of the majesty faintly revealed by him, which always made her clearly feel the distance between the two, so that she didn't dare to have the slightest kind of appearance in front of him when the two were alone, and her words and expressions couldn't help but be a little restrained.
"Well, let's go inside." Shangguan Yu nodded slightly, and said a word, but after saying this, he didn't raise his feet and walked in, just slightly stepped aside.
The grandmother who was waiting on the side was suddenly taken aback, King An Yuan meant to make way for Miss Tang?!
"You, please first." Seeing that her scalp was a little numb by the eyes of the grandmother next to her and the few people behind Shangguan Yu, Tang Lu'er smiled hurriedly and said in her mouth.
Shangguan Yu glanced at her and said casually, "Let's go together." ”
The people around were even more surprised, Tang Lu'er couldn't stand the eye knife that flew over, looked at the nose and nose, and followed Shangguan Yu into the gate, as soon as he breathed a sigh of relief, Shangguan Yu turned his face sideways and said: "You don't have to be restrained, just like before." ”
The people who followed next to him suddenly felt a thunderbolt come down again, what is the relationship between King An Yuan and this little girl? Why is that sentence more ambiguous than the other! One sentence is more meaningful than the other!
Tang Lu'er raised her face in a daze, and she didn't know how to react to these words for a while.
Seeing her become so stupid again, a smile flashed in Shangguan Yu's eyes, just remembering that he was on the hunting ground just now, seeing her smiling so comfortably, he sighed in his heart, and then said, "Go ahead." ”
After he finished speaking, he turned around and went to the other side, Tang Lu'er was surprised: "Hey, didn't you go to see the fourth girl?" ”
The grandmother next to her almost didn't fall, this girl dared to talk to King An Yuan like this, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she didn't have a trace of respect for you, you, you! Is it because she is too close to King An Yuan, or does she not understand these rules at all?
"I'm going to see Mrs. Chen." Shangguan Yu glanced back at her and replied with the same words.
The grandmother next to her was already petrified......
Tang Luer didn't think that Mrs. Chen called so many people at the same time, she just walked into Chen Yanhong's room with her grandmother, and when she raised her eyes, she was startled, only to see that the splendid and warm room was full of people sitting in a room. Almost all the women of the family who came to the hunting ground were inside, including the county lord of Duanyuan and several other noble ladies, and after she came in, all the eyes in the house fell on her.
At this time, Chen Yanhong was still half-lying on the shelf bed with a flower-patterned curtain, covered with a poisonous apricot red brocade quilt under her waist, wearing a homely jacket with a pink gold jacquard satin collar, her face was still a little pale, and her expression was a little more melancholy and lonely than usual, and when Tang Luer came in, she was gently wiping her tears with a handkerchief.
Looking at the side again, there is a woman over forty years old sitting on the pastel ink embroidery pier at the head of her bed, with tall eyebrows, a straight nose, and thin lips.
Tang Lu'er quietly glanced at Mrs. Chen, and saw that the other party was wearing a light gold bottom folded branch peony embroidered placket, a moon-white square-mouth stand-up collar middle shirt, a purple horse face skirt with black embroidered gold piping, and a double knife bun was combed high on his head, the beads on the bun were grand, and the diamonds on the ears were brilliant.
The rest of the ladies and ladies have changed their previous hunting clothes into the usual pearl hairpin and jade jackets, and then sat in a circle gorgeously as if they were in line, and since Tang Lu'er came in, they all consciously fell silent, and the atmosphere in the room implied a terrifying weirdness.
After the grandmother stepped forward and said a word in front of Mrs. Chen, Mrs. Chen squinted her eyes and glanced at Tang Lu'er, who suddenly felt a chill down her spine.
"I wonder why Madame called me over?" Tang Lu'er stepped forward and bowed slightly to Mrs. Chen, then looked at Chen Yanhong's side, and asked with a complicated heart, "Are the four girls better?" ”
Chen Yanhong didn't answer Tang Lu'er's words, just took off the veil, raised her eyes and glanced at her, with clear regret on her face, and then after a while, she trembled her lips and said, "You, why do you want to do this to me!?" ”
Tang Lu'er was stunned and puzzled: "Fourth girl...... What does this mean? ”
Chen Yanhong sighed, then picked up a handkerchief to wipe her tears, and said vaguely: "It's a shame that I don't treat you so well on weekdays, but I didn't expect you to treat me like this!" ”
The county lord of Duanyuan on the side immediately got up and walked to Chen Yanhong's bedside, sat down, and comforted her softly. Tang Lu'er suddenly felt a little vigilant in her heart, although she didn't understand what was going on right now, but she had already smelled the smell of conspiracy.
"When I heard that the fourth girl had an accident, you were the closest to the fourth girl?" Mrs. Chen glanced at Tang Lu'er up and down, frowned slightly, and then asked directly, and her voice still had a bit of acrimony.
Tang Lu'er cheered up, and while thinking, she replied: "I was on the right hand side of the fourth girl, but on the left hand side and behind the girl, there were also girls from other families. ”
"Then you should know best how the fourth girl's horse was frightened." Mrs. Chen didn't seem to pay attention to what Tang Lu'er said at all, and every sentence she opened her mouth meant something, and her tone was also high-minded, which was irrefutable.
Tang Lu'er's heart sank, and she hurriedly said, "How can I know this." It's just that when she said this, she couldn't help but glance at Miss Chen San over there, but saw that the other party had been lowering her eyes and sitting quietly in her position, as if she had no interest in the matter in front of her.
Mrs. Chen suddenly reprimanded: "You still want to pretend to be confused with me here, if no one knows what you have done!" Today, I will show you the matter, and then let the girls present at the time testify, so as not to let people outside say that our Chen Mansion is bullying! ”
Tang Lu'er's heart jumped, and before she could speak, she saw the two grandmothers next to her put down the bead curtain of Duobao Pavilion, and then someone led in a middle-aged man wearing a blue-gray horse coat from outside.
"But did you find out?" After Master Liao came in, Mrs. Chen raised her chin slightly and asked in a deep voice.
After Master Liao came in, he knelt outside the bead curtain, holding a horse whip in his hand, and replied tremblingly: "Hui, Mrs. Hui, the little one has already found out, and the fourth girl's horse was suddenly crazy because her left eye was injured." The horse's left eye was wounded by the whip, and there was still a little blood on it. ”
One of the grandmothers brought in the horsewhip in Master Liao's hand and handed it to Mrs. Chen. Mrs. Chen took it, glanced at it, and then said to Tang Lu'er: "This horsewhip, I guess you will not be unfamiliar with it." ”
Tang Lu'er only felt chills all over her body, things had reached such a point, she already understood what Mrs. Chen was. This is a naked planting, this is a thief shouting back to catch a thief, this is to put her to death!
Mrs. Chen didn't care whether Tang Lu'er opened her mouth or not, and whether she admitted it or not, she then asked the women in the family who were present, and asked at that time, except for Chen Yanhong herself, but anyone saw Tang Luer whipping Chen Yanhong's horse? At present, she should testify in front of both parties, lest Tang Lu'er say that she Chen Fu wronged good people without asking.
Except for Chen Yanyun and Duanyuan County Lord, there were not six women from the family here, I saw that they first glanced at each other, and then glanced at their elders quietly, and after a while, one of them nodded and whispered: "I saw it, at that time, Miss Tang did throw the whip at the fourth girl." ”
Then two more said the same thing, and the other three, shaking their heads, lowered their heads and said that they didn't know because they were too far away and didn't pay attention to that side. When it was Chen Yanyun's turn, I saw Chen Yanyun raise her face slightly, first glanced at Tang Lu'er, and then turned to Mrs. Chen and said, "I was lowering my head at the time, and I didn't see it." ”
Mrs. Chen glanced at her, nodded with a cold face, and said, "Well, you have always liked to keep your head down. ”
Chen Yanyun stayed out of the matter, Mrs. Chen was not surprised, this third girl has always been this wise person since the day she entered the mansion, anyway, she doesn't expect Chen Yanyun to play any role today. After all, if there are three girls nodding, things are already very easy to do, their nods represent that the three families are standing on the same line as her Chen Qian, as for the other three girls who shook their heads and said that they didn't know, it just showed that those families stayed out of this matter, and would never hinder her business.
Right now, as long as the Duanyuan County Lord nods, then she will be nine out of ten in this matter.
In fact, it is not that she is determined to kill Tang Lu'er, but Chen Yanhong's things today, obviously speaking, although her life is in danger, it is understandable that she was saved by a man in that way. But in the eyes of all those who saw that scene, especially in the eyes of Concubine An Yuan and King An Yuan, Chen Yanhong's innocence was indeed damaged, and no one would say such thoughts, but everyone knew it.
In fact, if Mrs. Chen and Chen Yanhong didn't have the intention of climbing the high branches, they would be able to promote a good thing by pushing the boat on this matter, after all, the Zhao family, like the Chen family, is a relative of the emperor and the country, and the two families are world friends, and the two adults have had such a meaning earlier. However, Mrs. Chen has been stimulated by the children of several aunts in the house over the years, and the son born by herself is not angry, so she has to earn it back from her daughter no matter what. The Zhao family has just offended the emperor and is going downhill, and Zhao Pinliang is now being demoted again, and he can't meet her expectations at all.
And Mrs. Chen's favorite Anyuan Palace, although Concubine Anyuan had sent someone to visit her before, she knew very well in her heart that no palace would want a daughter-in-law who was innocent and damaged? Therefore, Chen Yanhong's matter must be reversed!
If you want to reverse, you will transfer Concubine An Yuan and divert everyone's attention. Move everyone's damage to Chen Yanhong's innocence to another, more noteworthy matter, and make everyone feel pity and sympathy for her daughter, only in this way can bad things become good things.
And Tang Lu'er, who has no power and no power, is naturally the best person who can reverse this matter, and prompt everyone to sympathize with Chen Yan, and at the same time highlight Chen Yanhong's pure heart.
What could be more concerning than revenge, and what could be more sympathetic than innocent victims.
As for King Anyuan, who had treated Tang Lu'er differently, Mrs. Chen had also made all preparations, which was the reason why she invited all the women of these families over, no palace would offend several families on the same front for a little girl who was nothing! What's more, this matter is full of human and material evidence, she has not wronged Tang Lu'er, even if King An Yuan wants to help speak, he can't find anything to say. Even if he took 10,000 steps back, King An Yuan was really hot-headed and spoke, isn't there still Concubine An Yuan, Mrs. Chen absolutely believes that Concubine An Yuan will not allow King An Yuan to make nonsense in this matter.
As long as this matter is successfully reversed, Concubine An Yuan will see the preciousness of Chen Yanhong, and King An Yuan will also cut off a piece of his heart, and Chen Yijie will get what he wants, and at most he will receive it outside, and he will not enter the mansion and pollute her eyes, so this is definitely a good thing for Mrs. Chen when she comes.
As for the girls who were right, neither they nor the families behind them took Tang Lu'er seriously, so they pushed the boat along the way and gave the Chen Mansion a favor.
There is no one here who really takes Tang Luer in his eyes.
In fact, it is also the case, how can a little girl from a market background, without a father and mother, be compared with those women from a big family in this hierarchical society.
When you deserve to be unlucky, the gods can't do anything.
In the end, it was the turn of the Duanyuan County Lord to make a statement, Mrs. Chen withdrew her gaze from Chen Yanyun, and glanced at Chen Yanhong on the bed with a distressed face, and then sighed and looked at the Duanyuan County Lord.
"I didn't expect that Miss Tang would suddenly throw the whip, I was also startled at the time, and then something happened." The county lord of Duanyuan did not disappoint Mrs. Chen, and after she finished speaking, she glanced at Tang Lu'er with a sigh, but she didn't say anything, just looked at Tang Lu'er and shook her head.
Now that Tang Lu'er sees that it is going to be planted in the hands of Chen Fu, she naturally has to increase her strength, otherwise when her brother gets the cat, she will take advantage of it.
Tang Lu'er looked at the glamorous lady and young lady in this room in disbelief, her heart was cold, people's hearts, people's hearts, why is this!
