Chapter 171 Fair Trade
Although she just said it casually, she didn't care much about this so-called credit, but when she heard Xu Gurong say this, Mu Chonglan was still very surprised, because in her impression, Xu Gurong was the kind of temperament with a high temperament, as if she couldn't tolerate a grain of sand in her eyes, but what Xu Gurong did at this time was nothing to do with Qinggao's pride.
"I'm begging you, as long as you're willing to help me this time, I can promise you anything." Xu Gurong's face was sad, she really regretted it now, and all her hopes were pinned on Mu Chonglan.
Because of her words, Mu Chonglan pondered for a moment, thought of something, and said: "I can promise you, but you also have to promise me, after I promise you, your Xu family is not allowed to repay you for saving Xiao Xiantang." ”
After saying this, Mu Chonglan thought for a while, and stretched out his little finger to hook with her: "If you promise me, I will promise you, and you will not regret it." ”
Xu Gurong's face turned pale, after being rejected by Xiao Xiantang, she had actually decided to give up, after all, she had her self-esteem and pride, but she was just ...... The fact that she once saved Xiao Xiantang was the only bond between her and Xiao Xiantang, and Mu Chonglan actually wanted to exchange this matter with her at this time.
No, it's not an exchange, it's blackmail.
Xu Gurong looked at Mu Chonglan, a trace of hatred flashed in her eyes, she secretly said that she had always preconceived that this Mu Chonglan was a fool, but she never thought that this Mu Chonglan Xing might not be stupid at all, but a person who was very hidden, she may have already discovered her thoughts, but pretended not to know, at this time, taking the opportunity to coerce her to draw a line with Xiao Xiantang is her last move.
The more Xu Gurong thought about it, the more she felt that this guess was credible, thinking that her mind had always been looked at, she felt ashamed and wanted to die of being stripped naked, but she was the wife, but she ......
"Okay, I promise you." Xu Gurong closed his eyes after speaking, and what he said was very difficult.
Mu Chonglan was very happy when she saw that she agreed, because she hadn't thought about what she wanted for a long time, but instead remembered that Xiao Xiantang would occasionally come back with a black face in her previous life, and Yan Shoucai complained that it was that Prime Minister Xu Cheng relied on Xu Gurong to rescue Xiao Xiantang, and it was very difficult to harm Xiao Xiantang.
Therefore, since Xu Gurong asked, Mu Chonglan tried to say that their Xu family was not allowed to blackmail Entu, thinking that if Xu Gurong was willing to agree, then Xiao Xiantang's career would go more smoothly in the future.
I didn't expect that Xu Gurong would agree so simply, it seems that she is still very graceful, and she will not regard this kindness as something that can blackmail others, but she is black-hearted.
Xu Gurong didn't know what Mu Chonglan was thinking, she was too thoughtful, and she naturally didn't notice that Mu Chonglan was talking about the Xu family instead of her Xu Gurong alone, she just analyzed all the stakes in her heart, then looked at Mu Chonglan again, and said to her: "But you also have to talk about it, this credit is mine, whoever asks you in the future, you have to pretend not to know, and besides, you have to tell me how to take care of it next." ”
Since she wants to change, she can't share this credit with Mu Chonglan, she has to monopolize it, otherwise she will lose a lot.
Mu Chonglan nodded, and turned over to the horse with some joy: "What's wrong with this, anyway, I'm just talking casually, and there is no loss, as for the big-headed peony, you don't have to take care of it like this, it's just that you bask in the sun with water every day, and if you do more, it will make it weak." ”
After Mu Chonglan finished speaking, he dropped a sentence, "If there is anything else, I'll talk about it when I come back", and then left in a hurry.
Xu Gurong looked at her back and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Yes, she just talked casually, but it was her casual talk, she lost the only bond with Xiao Xiantang.
But what is the way, greedy for the merits of heaven and keeping it for yourself, this is called retribution.
In the palace
"Did you find out?" The Queen Mother raised her hand, covered it on the phoenix hairpin, and asked very casually.
Yun Gu behind her immediately said: "Back to the Queen Mother's words, I did find out some, but I ......"
"If you have something to say, just say it, don't stumble." The Queen Mother's eyes were full of joy, and her face was unhappy.
Yun Gu immediately knelt down, not daring to hide any more: "The people below found out that Miss Gurong did go to find a woman named Mu Chonglan before coming to the palace, and she also went to find Mu Chonglan afterwards, and that Mu Chonglan seems to have some research on flowers and plants, and there are some flower fields under her name......"
Yun Gu said everything that was investigated, including that Mu Chonglan was the daughter of the prefect of Qingzhou, and that the prefect of Qingzhou was the concubine who was driven out by the Mu family in Dadu, and Mu Chonglan opened a stunning shop in Dadu, and there was a sign in the peerless shop called Bailu Silk, which was heard of by the nobles in the palace and so on.
After hearing this, the Queen Mother was a little surprised: "In this way, Mu Chonglan is still a fool?" ”
can open a shop, and can also make friends with Miss Gurong, most of them are not stupid, but looking at the things she has done in the past, most of them are a flute.
Yun Gu thought so in her heart, but she couldn't say it, so she could only explain: "I heard that she had a serious illness when she was young, and after she got better, she reacted more slowly, and her temperament was quite straightforward. ”
"That's a pity." The Queen Mother said in her heart, this Mu Chonglan should have some courtesy, righteousness and shame if he has some brains, but this Mu Chonglan is shameless and doesn't even care about his reputation in order to chase a man, it's really ...... The Qingzhou prefect is too, with such a daughter, it is not easy to give birth and raise in the backyard, and he actually helped force the Xiao family to marry her, so 'informal', no wonder she was driven out.
Yun Gu was silent, she knew that the Queen Mother was born with the intention of cherishing talents at first, but listening to the Queen Mother's current tone, she also understood that the Queen Mother had eliminated this thought, after all, this palace is not as good as outside the palace, and what is needed around her is a smart person, this Mu Chonglan is not clever, and if she really recruits her side, she is afraid that there will be trouble.
What's more, there is also the involvement of the Mu family, just this one, the Queen Mother will not like that Mu Chonglan.
After all, even that Mu Jinse, the Queen Mother is also guarding against it.
"Queen Mother, Miss Gurong should have been taught a lesson this time."
The Queen Mother sneered when she heard this: "She? I'm afraid it's not at all. ”
If you really learned a lesson, or had the heart to admit your mistakes, you should have come to the palace to ask for a meeting, and then tell the matter calmly, but how many days have passed?
The Queen Mother thought that she had given Xu Gurong time, and she also showed her attitude, and Xu Gurong was not a fool, she should know what to do, but Xu Gurong didn't, not only did she not, but she also ran to find Mu Chonglan again.
Although the spies were not able to get close, and they couldn't hear the conversation between the two, they also knew what it would be like, so I have to say that the Queen Mother was disappointed in Xu Gurong at this time.
