Chapter 190: Freedom Restored
Chu Lan forcefully stuffed the silver into Li Yu's palm, and without waiting for him to refuse, he turned around and left.
Li Yu stroked the lines on the purse, weighed it again, and smiled, there was not much money in this purse.
Chu Lan's moon silver is only one to two taels of silver, where will there be more, last time I gave two grandmothers a few taels of silver, almost all the family money was handed over, and the money in this purse was still the moon silver she just received this month.
Fortunately, although Lin Xiaomiao, the side concubine, was not taken seriously, the house did not deduct their money. It didn't cost much to open the coffin, but Li Yu didn't want Chu Lan's money.
"Girl." Li Yu beckoned to Ping'er, who looked puzzled, but still approached Li Yu.
"This is the money that Fang Chulan gave me, saying that I should bury the dead girl, and you can help me return it to her." Ping'er knew Lin Xiaomiao's orders, and when she heard Li Yu say this, she immediately refused.
"Niangniang, let's write you silver, otherwise you won't do a good job." Ping'er was straightforward and fast-talking, and she said this without thinking about it, which made Li Yu laugh.
"I'll bury it well, but I can't take this money, if Chu Lan wants to thank me, I will accept this purse." Li Yu put the broken silver in Ping'er's hand, and then stuffed the purse into his sleeve as if he had put away a treasure.
"Brothers, lift that girl, contact the coffin Zhang, and ask him to quickly open the coffin and come out, make a monument, and find a place to bury this girl."
The guards were puzzled, but this was Li Yu's order, and no one dared not to listen to it, so they immediately carried Lian'er out of the gate of the Danyuan. When Ping'er heard this, she knew that Li Yu had the heart to bury Lian'er well, so she didn't shirk it, and took the silver money in her hand for the time being, planning to return it to Chu Lan later.
They couldn't get much money a month, so they could save some.
"Thank you for that!" Ping'er patted Li Yu on the shoulder, and Li Yu smiled back, and then closed the door of Danyuan.
Everything fell silent again, and when she heard the sound of the door closing, Chu Lan walked out again, and Ping'er naturally returned the silver in her hand to Chu Lan.
"This ......" Chu Lan looked at the broken silver, a little puzzled how his money came back.
"Li Yu returned the money to you, saying that if you want to thank him, you don't have to, he accepted your purse as a gift for you to thank him." Ping'er told her truthfully, and Chu Lan, who listened to it, blushed for a while.
How can this purse be given away casually! Ping'er didn't even come to inform her!
Chu Lan glanced at her with disgust, but it was good that Lian'er could be buried properly, and she let out a sigh of relief.
The two fetched water and cleaned up the horrific bloodstains in the yard.
"I don't know what's going on." The two looked at the wet ground, the blood had not dried up, and the two easily washed the ground, worried about Lin Xiaomiao.
"Hey, this lotus is also pitiful." Chu Lan frowned tightly, the medicine sent by Duanmu Heng was enough for several days, but without Lian'er, I don't know how to send this medicine in the future, Chu Lan felt sorry for Lian'er, and suddenly sounded that the injury behind Lin Xiaomiao needed to be dressed for several days.
"You say, will the mother be locked up like this forever?" Ping'er paused with the broom in her hand.
Chu Lan immediately rewarded Ping'er with a burst chestnut: "How is it possible!" She was very angry: "Don't crow's mouth! ”
But although Chu Lan said that she didn't agree with it, she couldn't help but worry in her heart. Looking at this situation, now Jinyu has covered the sky with one hand in this mansion, which also shows in disguise that Duanmu Yi favors Jinyu more.
Lin Xiaomiao really doesn't have a chance?
In the next few days, Lin Xiaomiao settled down a lot, and people quieted down, in addition to eating every day, she was lying on the bed and looking out of the window in a daze, without the agility of the past, Chu Lan and Ping'er inquired a few times and found that she had nothing to do, and the injuries on her back gradually began to scab.
Jinyu came again later, and when she saw that Lin Xiaomiao was calm, she sneered and left again, Ping'er and Chu Lan were both second monks and confused, only Lin Xiaomiao knew that it was Jinyu who felt that she was not a threat.
Sure enough, within a few days, there was an order to let Lin Xiaomiao out, and the gate of Danyuan opened again, and the guards outside were all withdrawn......
But this lifting of the ban did not make the Danyuan lively, the inside and outside of the Danyuan Garden was still deserted, Lin Xiaomiao became more and more silent, and the injuries behind her were much better, but Ping'er and Chu Lan were both very worried, because Lin Xiaomiao looked very sad, she often stared at the gate of the Danyuan in a daze, and Ping'er and Chu Lan did not react to her calling.
Ping'er and Chu Lan were taken aback by Lin Xiaomiao, who suddenly fell silent, and they didn't know what she had been pondering all day.
When Ziyan's figure appeared at the door of Tanyuan, Lin Xiaomiao had a hint of reaction, the look in her eyes was very complicated, every time she saw her figure appear, a trace of anger would always flash in her eyes, and Ping'er and Chu Lan felt like a living person.
But it was only for a short while, and when Ziyan walked to the door of Lin Xiaomiao's bedroom, she forcibly suppressed the anger in her eyes again.
"The side concubine Niangniang, the princess Niangniang is waiting for lunch." The smugness in Ziyan's eyes couldn't be hidden, looking at Lin Xiaomiao's drooping head, knowing that this battle was won by Jinyu after all, so he became more and more proud, his chin was raised involuntarily, and he looked at Lin Xiaomiao in front of him contemptuously.
In other words, on weekdays, Lin Xiaomiao will definitely cure this purple smoke, but now it is not what it used to be, the situation of this Tanyuan is not good, and even Lin Xiaomiao's two personal girls are still threatened by Jinyu, she sees her status clearly, and now is the time for her to keep her down.
Besides, Lin Xiaomiao was full of plans about how to take the two girls around her to leave the palace, a place where people eat people, and who is sitting in the position of the princess in this world has nothing to do with her, she doesn't love Duanmuyi anymore, so she won't feel sad for him to marry someone else.
Lin Xiaomiao followed Ziyan to the kitchen, the latter's eyes looked at everything in the kitchen sneakily, Lin Xiaomiao's heart was very confused, a pair of eyes stared at the dishes in her hand, and she didn't pay attention to Ziyan, and Lin Fang also felt that Lin Xiaomiao was wrong, for fear that she would cut herself, and kept staring at her movements.
Purple Smoke sneakily touched the side of the dish.
You must know that Duanmu Yi let out his words today, saying that he would accompany Jinyu to eat together today.
After the whole mansion went up and down, Lin Xiaomiao didn't know this, and because Duanmu Yi would eat in Yunge, there was also a small servant on his side who came to the back kitchen, lest Duanmu Yi eat imported things that were not clean.
And in order to make Lin Xiaomiao's image worse in Duanmu Yi's eyes, Jinyu instructed Ziyan to put something in the meal.
Ziyan slowly took out a small bottle from his cuff, and then made some white powder on his long little finger nails.
Ziyan's whole action was made secretive, no one saw her movements, this time it was cheaper Ziyan, she approached the dish that Lin Xiaomiao had just fried, and then took advantage of the vacancy that no one around her, and shook the powder in her little finger into the dish.
The powder melted as soon as it touched the surface of the dish, and then the powder disappeared from her sight as if it had never appeared.
After Ziyan passed the unknown thing, he quietly put the dish in the other dishes, and wrote down the style of the dish, the white powder melted away, and it was colorless and tasteless, this dish was exactly the same as other dishes, there was no difference.
Lin Xiaomiao didn't know what was happening in Fang Cai's kitchen, and continued the work at hand, Lin Fang saw that although Lin Xiaomiao's mood was different, there was no change in the cooking technique, so he looked away, and turned his head to find that Ziyan had entered the kitchen at some point, and was startled.
"Why are you in the kitchen! Don't you know that people who are not from the kitchen can't come in! He frowned and shouted at Ziyan, who was yelled at like this, with a look of disgust on her face, and she didn't want to stay in the kitchen any longer.
"Hmph, if you don't come in, you won't come in, as if someone wants to come in, who knows if the side concubine will take the opportunity to put something in the dish." A strange light flashed in Ziyan's eyes, and then he muttered out of the kitchen,
And Lin Fang saw Ziyan coming in, and he didn't argue much, but he was afraid that she would do something, so he frowned and looked at the dishes that had just been prepared.
Ziyan did something wrong, and couldn't help but feel nervous when she saw Lin Fang's fingertips sliding over each dish one by one.
But Lin didn't find any clues from the dishes in the end, which made Ziyan breathe a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, this thing is colorless and odorless.
The white powder under Ziyan is a kind of poison, but the amount she put in is not large, this time Duanmu Yi and Jinyu ate together, Jinyu wanted to completely eradicate Duanmu Yi's trust in Lin Xiaomiao, so she let Ziyan take this poison to set up a game.
Although this poison is colorless and tasteless, after eating the poisoned dishes, the tip of the tongue will be numb and astringent, how could Duanmu Yi, who is the son of the world, not find out!
Ziyan and Jinyu are waiting to see a good show, even if Lin Xiaomiao lowers her head, Jinyu is not at ease with her, as the concubine of the prince, she is always a threat to her, so she wants to cut the grass and eradicate the roots.
Jinyu didn't trust Lin Xiaomiao either, and Jinyu didn't believe a word of what she said.
Although Duanmu Yi is the son of the world, this glory and wealth cannot be compared to the outside, how can a wild girl like Lin Xiaomiao from the countryside not be tempted? He kept saying that he was leaving Jueyang Palace.
Jinyu didn't believe that Lin Xiaomiao would put aside her wealth and go to live that hard life outside the mansion!
"Master, it's almost time." On the other side of the Jueyang Palace, Aoki knocked on the people in the study to remind Duanmu Yi.
Not long after, a handsome boy in white pushed open the door of the study and walked out......
