Chapter 92: The Farce of the Dingguo Mansion (II)
Fang Mingkun was so angry that he didn't care about the feast, he went to see his sister in person, and said angrily: "If you want to go, you can, Ming'er will go directly to Zhuangzi!" The Hou Mansion does not raise idlers! ”
Fang Mingfang had tears in his eyes: "Even if I go to Zhuangzi, it's better than letting me serve my father's enemy!" He was the one who killed his father! You don't want to avenge your father, but you want to curry favor with your father's enemy! What qualifications do you have to be this Dingguo Gong! ”
Fang Mingkun was so angry that he raised his hand and slapped Fang Mingfang in the face.
He said coldly: "You have to go today, you have to go, you have to go if you don't go, even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your aunt!" If you don't go, I'll sell her!" ”
Jiang Qingyue and Luo Bei had already come to the room where Zhou Rui'an was resting.
"Lift him up." Jiang Qingyue commanded.
Luobei helped Zhou Rui'an up, Jiang Qingyue infused the internal force into Zhou Rui'an's body, and soon, Zhou Rui'an opened his eyes.
"Ruian? Are you okay? Jiang Qingyue asked with concern.
Zhou Rui'an looked at Jiang Qingyue's eyes for a moment, and as soon as he spoke, his voice was low and hoarse: "Qingyue ......"
His voice was wrong, Jiang Qingyue frowned, "I'll take you out of here!" ”
Zhou Ruian held her hand: "Wait a minute! ”
Jiang Qingyue and Luo Bei looked at him puzzled.
Fang Mingfang was slapped by Fang Mingkun, and in order to cover up the slap marks on his face, he had to reapply makeup to cover it, which delayed a lot of time.
Fang Mingkun impatiently sent someone to urge, and Fang Mingfang walked out of the boudoir with a blank face.
Fang Mingkun glanced at Fang Mingfang warningly: "I've already told you what to do, don't smash it for me, your life, your aunt's life is in your hands!" As he spoke, he glanced at the maid beside him, and the maid stepped forward to support Fang Mingfang.
A flash of grief and indignation flashed in Fang Mingfang's eyes, and he walked out with a step.
Fang Mingfang walked into the courtyard where Zhou Rui'an was resting, Fang Mingkun had already arranged it, there was no one in the yard, the people around Zhou Rui'an were estimated to have been taken away by Fang Mingkun, and now she is difficult to ride a tiger.
Fang Mingfang bit her lip, and the maid behind her took the lead in pushing open the door, "Miss, let's take a rest here first!" ”
Fang Mingfang followed the maid into the room, the room was quiet, there was no sound, according to what Fang Mingkun told her, Zhou Ruian should be unconscious now.
She walked into the inner room, and sure enough, she saw a person lying on the small collapse, with a gorgeous robe on her body, covered with a quilt, and she couldn't see her appearance clearly.
Fang Mingfang hesitated for a moment, and the maid reminded in a low voice on the side: "Miss, aren't you tired?" It's time to take a break. ”
Fang Mingfang walked to the edge of the small collapse, she stretched out her hand to pull the quilt on 'Zhou Rui'an's body, but suddenly, a pair of hands grabbed her wrists.
Fang Mingfang was startled, and the maid immediately screamed: "Zhou, Commander Zhou!" How can you despise my young lady! ”
The maid's voice was very loud, and it soon attracted other maids, and the noise here soon spread to the main hall not far away, and then Zhou Rui'an inadvertently offended the young lady of the Dingguo Mansion, and it reached the ears of the guests.
When Fang Mingkun got the news, his face changed, but he didn't mean to appease the guests, but came directly to the guest room, and when the other guests saw this, then follow and see the situation.
As soon as Fang Mingkun entered the room, he saw Fang Mingfang holding the maid and sobbing quietly, 'Zhou Rui'an' sitting on the small collapse, with his back to them, and he couldn't see his expression clearly.
Fang Mingkun was overjoyed in his heart, it seemed that the matter had been completed, he glared at Zhou Rui'an, and said angrily: "Commander Zhou, I respect you as a guest, and I have always treated you with courtesy, you are actually a light sister!" You have to give me an explanation for this! ”
The onlookers were also talking, as soon as Zhou Ruian came today, Fang Mingkun treated him with courtesy, and then looked at Fang Mingfang, who was crying with pear blossoms, although he felt that this matter was a little strange today, but it was the woman who suffered, and it was natural for Zhou Ruian to give an explanation.
The young lady of the Dingguo Mansion is the concubine, who is also the niece of the queen's mother.
But 'Zhou Rui'an' never spoke.
Fang Mingkun secretly said in his heart, could it be that the effect of the medicine has not passed, so it is just right, so he simply convicted Zhou Rui'an of not being able to refute it!
"That's it, the matter has come to this, I can't tolerate the woman whose name has been ruined, come on, send the third lady to Zhuangzi!" Fang Mingkun said in a deep voice.
Fang Mingfang was shocked, and before she could speak, the maid beside her had already knelt down in front of 'Zhou Rui'an: "Commander Zhou, please save my young lady, you can't let her be sent to Zhuangzi!" Slave, slave and maid kowtow to you! As she spoke, the maid kowtowed heavily on the ground.
When the other guests heard this, they also felt a little unbearable, after all, they were the young lady of the Dingguo Mansion.
"Commander Zhou, this young lady of the Dingguo Mansion is not an insult to you, since the wood has become a boat, why not promote a marriage, the daughter's family like a flower and jade, it can't be ruined like this!"
"That is, Commander Zhou and the Dingguo Mansion are also close to each other, and they are happy and happy, isn't it a good thing?"
Fang Mingkun didn't speak, but he didn't mention the words of sending Fang Mingfang to Zhuangzi again, everything is going according to his plan now, first retreat as advance, to send Fang Mingkun to Zhuangzi, and then let his friends who are familiar with him say the words of marriage, so that it will also be the face of the Dingguo Mansion.
It's just that to Fang Mingkun's surprise, Zhou Ruian hasn't spoken until now.
The main owner didn't speak, which made everyone look a little embarrassed.
Someone said: "Zhou Rui'an! Don't think that you can do such a chaotic thing if you are the commander of the Jinyi Guard! As the commander of the Jinyi Guard, you are strong in martial arts, and Miss Fang is just a weak woman, if you don't want to, how can she break into your house?! Do you want to be irresponsible now?! ”
"That's it! Don't try to bully! ”
"You have to be responsible!"
"Zhou Ruian is a man, don't let a woman bear it!"
There is no shortage of self-proclaimed chivalrous people among the guests, anyway, it has nothing to do with them, just coaxing, and they can get a good name, why not?
The corners of Fang Mingkun's mouth hooked, but he didn't speak again.
"What do you want me to do?" Suddenly, Zhou Rui'an's voice came, but the voice came from behind them.
Fang Mingkun was stunned for a moment, and turned his head away in astonishment.
The guests all turned their heads together and saw Zhou Ruian appear behind them, but he had already changed into a piece of clothing, not the one he wore when he came.
Zhou Rui'an raised his eyebrows, "Why do you all come to the courtyard where I rest, and you are all drunk?" ”
Fang Mingkun held his breath in his heart for Zhou Rui'an's mocking gaze, he couldn't swallow it, those clear eyes, as if he had seen through all his calculations, and he was like a clown jumping off the beam, performing on his own, while Zhou Ruian was watching coldly from the sidelines, looking at his ugliness.
Thinking of this, Fang Mingkun felt that today's game was like a joke!
"You, why are you here? Who's that one in there? One of the guests asked in disbelief.
Fang Mingkun couldn't wait to cover that person's mouth, did he still need to ask? The one inside must be fake! He originally wanted to use the mouths of these guests to force Zhou Ruian to admit this family business, but now he put himself in a dilemma.
Zhou Rui'an strode in, and saw Fang Mingfang inside, as well as a person wearing his clothes, and immediately understood what was going on.
Zhou Ruian turned his head, glared at Fang Mingkun and said, "Master Hou! I was invited by the second prince to come to the banquet today, and I think there is no rudeness to rest in your house, why did a female family break into the courtyard where I rested? Are you going to give me an explanation?! ”
Just now, it was Fang Mingkun who asked Zhou Ruian to explain, but he didn't expect it, but it turned around in an instant.
Fang Mingkun had words of suffering in his heart.
Zhou Ruian said mockingly: "There are so many of you, you won't be here to force me to be responsible, right?" ”
Not only Fang Mingkun said this, but the other guests were also embarrassed, they did it just now.
Now the guests have also come back to their senses, yes, Zhou Rui'an came to rest in this courtyard, how could he be unguarded? And Fang Mingfang, a female dependent, how could she break in? This play is a little familiar.
In the past, it was all done by maids and maidservants who wanted to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix, Fang Mingfang, a daughter of the Hou Mansion, would not do such a thing, but after thinking about it carefully, I felt that this matter was strange.
Fang Mingkun could only speak, he frowned and asked, "Commander Zhou, aren't you resting in the room?" And how did you change your clothes? ”
That's right, the eyes of the guests fell back to Zhou Rui'an, Zhou Rui'an came here to rest, they all heard it, and why did they change clothes in someone else's house again?
Zhou Ruian said: "I drank a little too much today, and I didn't stain my clothes very much, so I just went to change my clothes." After a pause, he said: "I want to ask Master Hou, the government has always been bad at controlling people, but it doesn't want to mess with the guests' clothes, right?" ”
Fang Mingkun's face changed suddenly, in the previous matter of Xu Tianhai, the queen used the excuse of controlling the disadvantage of his subordinates, and later when he was exonerated because of the Chen family's case, he also used this reason, Zhou Ruian said this, he was simply slapping him in the face!
Zhou Rui'an drank too much and came out to rest, everyone saw this, he soiled his clothes after he was drunk, and with Zhou Rui'an's status, he definitely had to change his clothes, which is understandable, but why did he wear the clothes he changed on someone else's body?
At this time, the 'Zhou Rui'an', who had been facing away from them and had not opened his mouth from beginning to end, moved.
He turned his head and showed an ordinary and ordinary face, and when he saw so many people, he was so frightened that he fell off the small collapse: "Master Hou! Master Hou! ”
This look is the subordinate of the Dingguo Mansion, Fang Mingkun was so angry that he kicked him in the chest, "Get out!" ”
"Wait!" Zhou Ruian said coldly: "He can't get out, there is still an explanation for the reputation of the third lady!" This is me going out, otherwise it would probably be me Zhou who will be responsible for today, right? ”
Fang Mingkun was a little difficult to ride a tiger at this time, he didn't expect Zhou Ruian to be so difficult! But no one reported it to him at all, and Zhou Ruian left the room!
At this time, Fang Mingfang raised his head, and stared at Zhou Rui'an tightly with a pair of crying red eyes: "It's me, it's me who went to the wrong room today, and it has nothing to do with my brother!" It's me who knows no shame! has smeared the Hou Mansion, what face do I still have to live in the world now! It's better to die! ”
After Fang Mingfang finished speaking, he directly crashed into the wall!
Everyone, including Fang Mingkun, was shocked, but Fang Mingfang's movements were very fast, and her strength was also used, she fell to the wall, and the blood on her forehead flowed out.
The guests couldn't help but exclaim, the people of this Dingguo Mansion are really very resolute, the old Dingguo Gong was humiliated and died by hitting the pillar, and now his daughter is not far behind, this woman can also be called a little loyal.
Fang Mingkun's face turned pale, and he said angrily: "What are you doing in a daze? Don't call a doctor yet! ”
After Fang Mingkun finished speaking, he turned to the guests and said, "Today's hospitality is not good, let everyone laugh, let's go back to the hall first!" There are some family matters to take care of below. ”
The guests walked out with a good face.
Zhou Ruian gently stroked the non-existent dust on the corner of his clothes, and said lightly: "It seems that I don't need to be responsible?" I'm also taking my leave! ”
Fang Mingkun took a deep breath and was about to speak, but the second prince walked over quickly.
This time, Fang Mingkun did not let the second prince participate, after all, such a disgraceful thing, it is better for the second prince to participate less, but he didn't expect that something would happen, so the second prince had to come over to save the scene.
Zhou Ruian saw the second prince and arched his hand: "Your Highness, I was invited by His Royal Highness to be a guest today, but such a thing happened, I am really embarrassed, it seems that I will come to the door less in the future, Your Highness, forgive me for my farewell!" ”
The second prince was a little embarrassed, he didn't know about this in advance, but he invited it, even if he said that he didn't know, it was estimated that no one would believe it.
The second prince arched his hand and sighed: "I'll send Commander Zhou." ”
"Your Highness stays, let's go and see the third girl first." After Zhou Rui'an finished speaking, he turned around and strode out.
As soon as Zhou Rui'an left, the second prince's sharp gaze looked at Fang Mingkun.
Fang Mingkun turned his eyes uncomfortably, but not because he saw through it, but because the plan was not successful.
Zhou Ruian left the Dingguo Mansion, and as soon as he went out, he saw Jiang Qingyue waiting outside.
Zhou Ruian got into the car quietly, Jiang Qingyue also sat in the carriage, and Luo Bei took her place and started driving.
Zhou Ruian couldn't help but smile and said: "Qingyue, the timing of the acupuncture just now is just right, the people in the whole room haven't noticed, your kung fu has improved a lot!" ”
Of course, this bureau was set up by Zhou Rui'an, and when Jiang Qingyue and Luo Bei came to him, they originally wanted to take him away, but he didn't plan to leave, but decided to take this opportunity to completely reject Fang Mingkun.
So he asked Luo Bei to find a small guy in the mansion, changed into his clothes, ordered his acupoints, and lay in the room instead of him, while he himself went next door, just to see what Fang Mingkun wanted to do.
Zhou Ruian sneered and said: "Even this kind of indiscriminate trick has been made, this Dingguo Mansion is really not as good as the generation!" ”
Jiang Qingyue didn't speak, Zhou Ruian couldn't help but glance at her, and slowed down his voice: "What's wrong?" I'm not calculated, aren't you happy for me? ”
Jiang Qingyue raised his head and glanced at him: "You can obviously stop her!" ”
Zhou Ruian was stunned for a moment, and then understood what she meant, and couldn't help frowning.
Jiang Qingyue continued: "With your skills and the position you were standing in at the time, it was easy to stop her, she was just a weak boudoir daughter, and you couldn't stop her without such a fast speed." ”
Zhou Ruian snorted coldly: "The weak boudoir daughter? A boudoir daughter can frame me, if the boudoir daughter is like this, what do you need a man for? ”
Jiang Qingyue frowned: "You know that I didn't mean that, you can save her." ”
"Why should I save her? Save Fang Mingkun's sister, a person who wants to frame me. Zhou Ruian asked rhetorically: "Why do you think she hit the wall?" Because she saw that the matter was revealed, she couldn't put the matter on my head anymore, the plan failed, she was ruined by a subordinate, Fang Mingkun and the entire Dingguo Mansion would not let her go, so she chose to die! ”
"If I really save her, maybe it's just right, and there will be a chance for her to rely on me!" Zhou Ruian continued: "Why should I save such a scheming and vicious woman? ”
Jiang Qingyue pursed her lips, and she whispered: "I just think, I think she may not be willing, maybe she was also forced." ”
Zhou Ruian couldn't help but say angrily: "Qingyue, can your kindness and compassion be used on unnecessary people?" She is our enemy, she is coming to frame me, do you know, if we weren't alert today, I would probably be relied on by her, and I would have married her! ”
Jiang Qingyue didn't speak, she was outside the window when the incident happened, and it was she who solved the hole for the little girl who pretended to be Zhou Rui'an, and naturally saw the scene in the house.
Fang Mingfang may not have wanted to do this, in fact, she is just a woman who can't help herself.
As a woman, there are always a lot of involuntary and helpless people.
"I'm sorry, it's my fault." Jiang Qingyue said softly, but his eyes were slightly dim, "I'm just ......"
It's just that when I saw Fang Mingfang, I felt an inexplicable anger and injustice in my heart, that woman, her father died, and she was pushed out by her brother as a pawn in the struggle for power and profit, and now Fang Mingkun's plan has failed, and she can only die to save her name.
"I'm not sorry for her, I'm not sympathizing with Fang Mingfang, I'm sorry for a woman who is helpless about her fate like her." Jiang Qingyue said silently: "Maybe I have been separated from my parents since I was a child, maybe it's also a good thing." ”
At least she didn't have to go through the calculations and intrigues between these relatives.
Zhou Ruian gently took her into his arms and sighed, "I have already asked people to check, Fang Mingfang is indeed not voluntarily committed to me." ”
As he spoke, Zhou Ruian told Jiang Qingyue about the things he asked Jinyiwei to investigate, including Fang Mingkun forcing Fang Mingfang to seduce him.
"But she is not as filial and benevolent as she said, she is not voluntary, just because she thinks that I, the commander of the brocade guard, will not end well, to put it bluntly, she is the daughter of the marquis and looks down on me." After a pause, Zhou Ruian continued: "Her aunt was the favorite concubine of Dingguo Gong in the past, Fang Mingfang's future Dingguo Gong was also carefully planned for her when he was alive, but now that Fang Mingkun is in charge, he wants her to be a pawn in marriage, and I am such a person who cannot die well, she is naturally unwilling." ”
Jiang Qingyue's eyes flashed, at this time she had already regained her composure, thought about it, and said objectively: "If this is the case, then her final collision with the wall, I am afraid it was also intentional, Fang Mingkun's plan failed, she failed to complete her task, Fang Mingkun will inevitably be angry with her, and she will not end well at that time, so she will simply hit the wall by herself, so that Fang Mingkun will not be able to send out even if she is angry." ”
Jiang Qingyue sighed secretly in his heart, it seems that none of these family girls are simple, each one says one thing, but doing it is another, everyone has their own calculations in their hearts.
At this time, Jiang Qingyue couldn't help but think that if she hadn't been dropped since she was a child, would she grow up in the harem, would she also become like this, or, become the current Princess Ningyang?
Thinking of this, Jiang Qingyue couldn't help but shudder, and he didn't know whether it was right or wrong for the queen to replace her.
Zhou Ruian smiled with relief, he knew that with Jiang Qingyue's intelligence, he would definitely be able to think of the key.
He shook Jiang Qingyue's hand: "Yes, the matter of this banquet seems to be Fang Mingkun's calculation, but in fact, he was calculated by me and his own sister, and the purpose of his plan was not achieved, but he made a fool of himself, which is really stupid." At the end, he couldn't help but put a mocking smile up.
"In this way, the queen can't win you over, so she should deal with you." Jiang Qingyue reminded him.
Zhou Ruian thought for a while and nodded: "What you said is right, it seems that I have to ask someone to send a letter to Concubine Qin, and let the Seventh Prince go to the emperor to walk around more." ”
Jiang Qingyue frowned faintly, to be honest, even now, she is not very clear about Zhou Rui'an's plan, but she knows that Zhou Rui'an is absolutely impossible to be subservient, Emperor Xuande is impossible, the second prince or the seventh prince is even more impossible, this throne, he is bound to win!
Then whether it is the second prince or the seventh prince, they will all become Zhou Rui'an's enemies in the future, and they will all be the objects he must eradicate.
Jiang Qingyue bit her lip, the second prince didn't talk about it, she hadn't seen the seventh prince, but it was her half-brother.
Jiang Qingyue looked at the man beside him, he had a handsome appearance, an unfathomable mind, a strategy that could not be spared, and even more ambitious, he had his own goals that he had to complete, and in order to complete this goal, many of the people he had to get rid of were her relatives.
Thinking of this, Jiang Qingyue pursed her lips, and her eyes became gloomy, if there really was such a day, what would become between her and him? Can she really watch her relatives die tragically at his hands one by one?
Jiang Qingyue once again understood why Zhou Ruian did everything possible to hide it from her before, unwilling to let her know the truth, because knowing the truth, they could no longer have no problem with each other as before.
