Chapter 32: Suspicion
Not long after the carriage left the palace gate, Xie Yubing, who was riding in the same carriage with Jiang Huan, suddenly shouted, "Stop." ”
The coachman quickly stopped, Xie Yubing pretended to cough and said, "I'm a little uncomfortable, let Qian'er come up and serve me." ”
After Qian'er heard it outside the carriage, she lifted the curtain and asked, "Miss, are you okay?" Do you want the slave to go back and call the doctor first? ”
Xie Yubing said, "I just have a little cough, and my whole body feels sore, which is probably not in the way." You come up and give me a thrash. ”
"Yes, miss."
Qian'er went up, and the carriage was originally not crowded with three people. But at this time, Xie Yubing stretched his legs apart. A pair of legs were directly in front of Jiang Huan.
Qian'er said attentively, "Miss, the slave maid will beat your legs." ”
"Hmm." Xie Yubing leaned on the carriage and closed his eyes.
Qian'er squatted in front of Jiang Huan, looked at Jiang Huan, and said to Liuying outside, "Liuying, it's better to call your master down first." Our lady is not feeling well, I have to give her a thrash. ”
Liu Ying walked to the carriage, angry, and said, "The third miss is a miss, and our fourth miss is also a miss." The way back is not close, how can there be any reason for our young lady to come down and walk? ”
Qian'er said, "I don't like to hear what you say." These two are naturally young ladies, but isn't the third young lady unwell right now? The body of the daughter of these three young ladies is injured, can you bear it? ”
"If the fourth young lady is tired of walking, isn't she also a daughter?"
Xie Yubing opened his eyes, laughed twice, and said sarcastically, "A fool is also worthy of a daughter's body?" If it weren't for my face, she would have been able to enter the palace today? Don't know who you are. If you don't help your young lady down, don't you want me to invite her down in person? ”
Liuying was stunned, thinking that Xie Yubing really wanted to do it himself, I was afraid that it would not be light, so she had to swallow her anger and said to Jiang Huan, "Miss, let's come down." If there is a horse-drawn carriage rental on the road, let's rent another one. ”
Xie Yubing smiled contemptuously, "In the end, it's the princess, the maids around here speak in different tones." Come on, Qian'er, let's hurry back to the Prime Minister's Mansion. The queen also brought a lot of things to her mother! ”
"Yes, miss."
Jiang Wan was driven out of the carriage and could only walk behind with Liuying.
Hotaru kept looking around, thinking that there would be a rental carriage.
Jiang Wan looked at her like this, and said, "No, it's not in the way." It's okay to walk for an hour or two, can you afford it? ”
Liuying shook her head and said, "The slave maid has been used to living a hard life since she was a child, what is it to take these roads, but I am afraid that I will be wronged Miss." ”
Jiang Wan didn't care, "Then it's no problem." Not to mention an hour or two, I've walked for days and nights in a row. ”
"What did Miss do in the nunnery before?"
"Huh? Uh, I'm bragging! ”
Jiang Wan snorted and mixed up the matter.
After walking for a while, Jiang Wan thought of something, and said, "Liuying, you go back to the old servant and inquire." ”
Liuying was puzzled, "What kind of old servant is Miss looking for?" ”
"Naturally, it's the one in the courtyard of the fourth aunt. I always felt as if she knew something. ”
"Yes, but if these things happened in the morning, the servant wouldn't necessarily have anything to say to the slave."
Jiang Wan thinks about it. Wang Ying was so excited in the morning, the entire Prime Minister already knew about it, and I am afraid that no one dared to mention the matter of the fourth aunt.
The two of them continued walking, when suddenly they saw a carriage coming towards them. This person driving the carriage was not someone else, it was Chu Nian.
"Miss, it's the second son who is here." Liuying said happily, and then realized that Jiang Wan shouldn't have any response, so she turned her head and looked at Chu Nian.
Soon Chu Nian pulled the reins and stopped the carriage in front of Jiang Wan and Liuying.
Liu Ying said, "Second son, why are you here?" ”
"My eldest brother and I were supposed to take you back. I don't want to just see Yu Bing go back, but I don't see my sister-in-law. Yu Bing said that you don't like the carriage stuffy and want to get down and take a walk. I didn't think it would be a short journey, so I'll pick you up. Chu Nian jumped out of the carriage and said to Liuying.
Liu Ying hurriedly dismantled Xie Yubing and said, "Second son, how can this second young grandmother say that Miss is coming down, it is obvious that she thinks Miss is in the way, bullies Miss, and does not let Miss take the carriage." ”
Chu Nian frowned and said, "Is this really true?" ”
Liuying nodded seriously, "How dare this slave deceive the second son." But it's good that the second son knows this, don't let the second young grandmother know that it was the slave maid who said it, and the slave maid doesn't want to cause trouble. ”
Jiang Wan secretly thought that this stream of fireflies was really smart, and while saying bad things about Xie Yubing, she protected herself. This Chu Nian is reasonable, so naturally he won't come to Xie Yubing and say that Liuying told him.
"I'm not going to say that. Alright, get into the carriage quickly. Big brother is still waiting in the Prime Minister's Mansion! ”
Liuying nodded, helped Jiang Wan into the carriage, and stood beside the carriage. Chu Nian asked, "Why don't you go up?" ”
Liu Ying hurriedly said, "The slave maid is just a subordinate, how can there be any reason to share a carriage with the young lady?" ”
Chu Nian said, "I said that I can sit if I can, go up quickly." Otherwise, it will take some time to return to the Prime Minister's Mansion. ”
"This ......" Liu Ying was still a little hesitant, and saw Chu Nian directly pull her arm and pull her into the car.
Liu Ying blushed and entered the carriage, and soon there was the sound of the wheel turning, Liu Ying looked at Chu Nian, who was driving the carriage outside the carriage, and whispered to Jiang Huan, "Miss, these two sons are really good." It's a loss to marry the third lady. ”
Jiang Wan also felt that it was a pity that Chu Nian, a gentle and jade-like son, actually married such a tricky and mean woman as Xie Yubing.
When they arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Chu Nian and Jiang Wan entered the main hall. As soon as he entered, but he didn't see Chu Yu's shadow, Chu Nian immediately asked, "Where is my eldest brother?" ”
Wang Ying was puzzled, "Fang is still here, maybe he is greedy for fun and ran out." Don't worry, I'll immediately order someone to find it. ”
Chu Nian looked at Xie Yubing, and saw that she was eating melon seeds without caring at all, so he said, "Yubing, didn't I let you look at the eldest brother?" The eldest brother is not familiar with this place. ”
"Your stupid big brother can't understand anyone's words, how can I tell him?" Xie Yubing was displeased because of Chu Nian's matter of picking up Jiang Huan, threw the melon seed shell, and said angrily.
"What did you say?" Chu Nian's face immediately turned cold, and even his voice raised a little.
"I'm ......" Xie Yubing saw that Chu Nian was moved, and he was a little frightened all of a sudden. Although she didn't know much about the affairs of the two brothers of the Chu family, in those few days, she could also see that Chu Nian took great care of her eldest brother.
But when she thought of this, she was even more unhappy in her heart, this Chu Nian would rather be nice to the two fools than take her to heart, she really couldn't figure it out, and she couldn't get angry.
"Alright. Chu Nian, don't be angry with Bing. This child of hers is a rectum, and sometimes she can't talk with her brain. She definitely didn't mean to look down on the prince. The old man has already ordered Steward Huo to find the prince. The Prime Minister's Mansion is so big, I believe it will be found soon. You sit here and wait a moment. ”
"No need, it's safer for the son-in-law to find it by himself." Chu Nian said that he turned around and wanted to go out.
"This ......" Wang Ying was stunned for a moment, and said busily, "Chu Nian, you are not familiar with the Prime Minister's Mansion, it is better to let ......"
Before Wang Ying finished speaking, she saw Liuying step forward and said, "Second son, it's better to let the slave take you to find it." ”
Chu Nian glanced at Liuying and nodded, "Okay!" ”
Seeing Chu Nian and Liuying go out, Xie Yu stomped his feet angrily. Wang Ying persuaded, "Yu Bing, pay attention to your identity." ”
Xie Yubing said angrily, "Look at him, it's better for me than for a maid." Did he still take me as his wife? ”
Wang Ying knew her daughter's temperament, so she said, "You are willful at home, and your father and I are up to you." But you should also know the principle of marrying and obeying your husband, and be more obedient to your husband. ”
"Mother, it's not me now. It was Chu Nian who was hooked by their master and servant. As soon as Xie Yubing said this, he immediately looked at Jiang Huan, who was still standing in the main hall, with vicious eyes. She stared at Jiang Wan for a long time and said, "You are obviously a fool, why is the second sister good to you, the eldest sister to be good to you, and even my own father-in-law to you?" ”
Xie Yubing paused for a moment and said, "Xie Ning...... You're not playing dumb, are you? ”
Jiang Huan's heart was stagnant.
"Yu Bing, what are you talking about?" Wang Ying felt that her daughter might be stunned.
Xie Yubing seemed to be more and more wrong the more he thought about it, and walked up to Wang Ying and said, "Mother, don't you think that many things favor Xie Ning too much?" Not to mention how those people treated her well, I asked her for trouble several times, and she could easily avoid it, wouldn't it be too coincidental? If she's been playing dumb all along, then she'll be able to dodge a lot of things. ”
Wang Ying was told by Xie Yubing that she didn't feel like what she said was completely unreasonable. One or two pieces are accidental, three pieces or four, and it is possible that it is not a coincidence.
Wang Ying took a closer look at Jiang Huan, and then said, "It's not easy to know if she is really stupid or fake?" Someone ...... coming."
Wang Ying whispered a few words to a maid next to her, and the maid retreated. After a while, the maid brought a bowl of rice.
"Mother, what is that?" Xie Yubing asked.
Wang Ying whispered to Xie Yubing, "This is a bowl of dog food, if she is really stupid, she will eat it, if she is not stupid......"
Xie Yubing showed a smug look, thinking that even if this "Xie Ning" was really stupid, he could take the opportunity to tease her, and he wouldn't lose anything.
The maid brought a bowl of dog food to Jiang Huan, and Xie Yubing pretended to be friendly and said, "Fourth sister, this is delicious, you can eat a little." ”
Jiang Wan saw at a glance that it was a bowl of dog food, and knew that the mother and daughter were already suspicious of her, but there was no conclusive basis. At this time, either she had a direct showdown, or she swallowed the bowl of dog food. But no matter what, it is her Jiang Wan who suffers.
Jiang Wan thought, it is better to do the same as before, not only not to eat, but also to tease Xie Yubing. How about she directly spilled this bowl of dog food on Xie Yubing's face?
The dog food that the maid was carrying was only a little bit away from herself, and Xie Yubing's eyes were full of anticipation. To eat or not to eat, is the result she expects.
"What are you doing?" But at this time, Chu Nian walked in and knocked over the bowl in the maid's hand.
"Miss......" Liu Ying hurriedly ran to Jiang Huan, and Jiang Wan caught a glimpse of Chu Yu having also come to the main hall. Liuying saw the bowl on the ground and exclaimed, "Isn't this the bowl of the yellow dog in the Prime Minister's Mansion?" ”
Chu Nian looked at Xie Yubing in disbelief and said, "Yubing, are you eating this for your sister-in-law?" ”
Xie Yubing defended, "No, she was stupid herself, so she had to eat that." If you don't believe me, ask the maid here. ”
"No need to ask. I'll take my sister-in-law back. Chu Nian grabbed Jiang Huan's hand, then took Chu Yu's hand again, and said, "Big brother, sister-in-law, let's go back." Ignoring Xie Yubing at the moment.
"Chu Nian, you're here to pick me up, how can you leave me here alone?"
Chu Nianquan didn't hear it, the four of them had already crossed the threshold of the main hall.
"Chu Nian, do you know that she is pretending to be stupid?"
