Chapter 241: Lan Qian returns
"Have you found out who sent it?" Jing Ning looked at Xiao Yuan expectantly, and sure enough, I saw Xiao Yuan shaking his head gently, "I didn't find out, it's too hidden." Originally, the news was very hidden, and it was the news that the people from my brother's intelligence battalion inadvertently got when they were collecting intelligence, because the matter was not related to the country and was not very important, so I couldn't use the people from my brother's intelligence battalion to investigate it carefully. I sent my grandfather's people down to search, but I didn't have a lot of connections, and I didn't find anything. ”
After thinking about it, Xiao Yuan still said his inner thoughts, "I think, the person who delivered the news should be the minister of the imperial court, and the official quality should not be low." First, because he could see the scene of Lan Yao and Chen Zhi together, and then deduce the remarks of the two together. If he hadn't seen it, he wouldn't have said that, after all, the concubine of the Guogong Mansion and the proton of Qiguo, the identities of these two people are not something that can be taken over at will to make a joke. And Chen Zhi is in the palace most of the time, so the people who can contact him are generally court officials. ”
Seeing Jing Ning nodding slightly, Xiao Yuan continued to say her own opinion, "The second is the spread of this news. This matter did not spread among the people in the market, but most of the ministers of the court knew about it, and as for the lack of news from our two families, it should have been deliberately avoided. I don't believe that so many ministers of the DPRK and China can know that in addition to the fact that he himself is above the court, and his official quality is not low, I don't believe that he can be so powerful. ”
"Then we have to see who can contact Chen Zhi and Lan Yao, and they can't deal with the Fuguo Mansion."
There was silence. Jing Ning took the lead in breaking through the silence, "Let's go, let's go to the Fuguo Mansion now to see Lan Yao." ”
"Huh? Right now? Xiao Yuan was a little panicked, but she didn't object. The panic is that if he goes to the Fuguo Mansion now, then he will not have the opportunity to inquire about Jing Ning's attitude towards this marriage contract, and he will not be able to say anything good for his brother. But compared to his brother's ironclad matter, the sister's matter is more important. Therefore, Xiao Yuan only hesitated, and followed Jing Ning to hurry to the Fuguo Mansion.
Xiao Yuan wanted to say something along the way, but looking at Jing Ning's slightly nervous face, he swallowed what he wanted to say in front of his brother, and comforted him, "Sister-in-law, don't worry." With the Auxiliary State Princess, Lan Yao will definitely have nothing to do. Fuguo Gong Ke is also a person who has been on the battlefield and made meritorious contributions. My brother once said that this auxiliary prince is not an ordinary person. Therefore, this little conspiracy or something will definitely not be able to trap the Fuguo Mansion. ”
Jing Ning replied lightly, "Hmm." But he didn't say the worry in his heart, because he knew that Fu Guogong was powerful, so he was even more worried in his heart. How much the Duke of Fuguo loves Lan Yao, Jing Ning sees it in his eyes, and how Lan Yao doesn't like to be restrained and doesn't like to stay in his own house, which is well known, not to mention the Duke of Fuguo, who knows his granddaughter, but now the Duke of Fuguo personally ordered not to let Lan Yao leave the house. Presumably, this matter still seriously affected the Fuguo Mansion, so that the Fuguo Duke gritted his teeth and issued a ban on Lan Yao.
Let the coachman speed up and drive to the Fuguo Mansion. And the door of the Fuguo Mansion was closed, Xiao Yuan frowned and asked, "Sister-in-law, we won't be able to enter today, right?" ”
"No, it won't." Jing Ning calmly returned, and let Wen Xing knock on the door again.
"Who, who? The Fuguo Mansion has recently had something at home and does not receive people. ”
"Miss Prime Minister's Mansion and Miss Xiao of the General's Mansion came to visit Miss Lan Yao, the Duke of Fuguo."
The door gradually opened a crack, and a small servant poked his head out, "It's Miss Zheng and Miss Xiao." The little maid scratched his head, and the housekeeper instructed that no one was allowed to enter, but these two eldest ladies were handed over by their own eldest lady's handkerchief, if they were just stopped, then even their own eldest lady would be angry with herself for a while.
"The two eldest ladies will wait for a while, and the slave will go and report it."
Xiao Yuan wanted to step forward and say something, but Jing Ning looked down, and Jing Ning had a faint smile on his face. "Okay."
The door was closed again, and Xiao Yuan looked puzzled, "It stands to reason that it shouldn't have reached this point, and the door needs to be locked every day." Jing Ning didn't say anything, but he also frowned.
After a while, there was a faint sound of hurried footsteps on the other side of the door, and then the door was opened, and the housekeeper on the other side of the door looked apologetic, "Miss Zheng, Miss Xiao, please come in, please come in." I didn't know that the two eldest ladies were coming, and they were disappointed. ”
Jing Ning and Xiao Yuan glanced at each other, "Butler, in broad daylight, the door of the mansion is locked, but what's the matter?" ”
"Hey, what could it be?" The housekeeper still looked smiling, "It's the past two days, our second miss has come back, this second miss has just come back, and the lord is afraid that there will be many people who come to visit after hearing the news, so he closed the door in advance." ”
"Qianqian is back!" This news surprised Jing Ning and Xiao Yuan, Lan Qian is the sister of Lan Yao's mother, and she is three years apart from Lan Yao, and the relationship between the two is very good. However, Lan Qian's health has not been good since she was a child, and she was forced to return to her hometown Yangzhou to recuperate when she was six years old. Every year, Lan Yao would go to Yangzhou to see her, but Lan Qian was never taken back to live in the capital.
Although they are sisters, perhaps because Lan Qian's health has not been good since childhood, the personalities of the two can be said to be very different.
Lan Yao is noisy, and Lan Qian is quiet and doesn't like to talk. Lan Yao is easy to be impulsive, and Lan Qian is very calm when encountering things.
In addition to Lan Yao, who is a little taller than ordinary women, Lan Qian is stunted due to physical reasons, so that others can see that Lan Yao is her sister. In other ways, it will make others think that Lan Qian is the sister, and Lan Yao is the lively sister.
"yes. The second lady was picked up two days ago, but as soon as she arrived in the capital, she fell ill again, and the eldest lady has been taking care of the second miss in recent days. I was afraid that the second young lady would infect the two young ladies, so the eldest lady did not go out of the house to play with the two young ladies in recent days, nor did she invite the two young ladies to come. I hope that the two young ladies will not be blamed. ”
"But what is to blame and not to blame, they are all good sisters." Xiao Yuan waved her hand indifferently, "I don't know how Qianqian's body is." ”
While the three of them were talking, they had already walked to Lan Yao's courtyard, and Lan Yao and Lan Qian had already arrived at the gate of the courtyard to greet them, Lan Qian smiled softly, "Qianqian's illness is fine, and Sister Jingning and Sister Xiao Yuan are worried." ”
Looking at Lan Qian, whose face was still slightly pale, Jing Ning felt a little distressed, "Why did you fall ill as soon as you came, and your body hasn't recovered yet?" "Jing Ning saw the little Lan Qian when she was a child, and the Lan Qian at that time was very cute, even if she was not in good health, she would always smile and call Sister Jing Ning sweetly, Sister Jing Ning. At that time, Lan Qian's slightly pale face made Jing Ning feel distressed.
"The body is already very good, maybe I just came from Yangzhou, and I am a little uncomfortable. It will be good to raise it for a few days, and Sister Jingning doesn't have to worry. As she spoke, the smile on Lan Qian's face became much more sincere.
