Chapter 68: Her Secret
After returning from the National Teacher's Mansion, Wei Ruyi has been sullen, so much so that she didn't even notice Chen Yan's sleeves.
"What's wrong?"
Chen Yansleeve looked at her sitting on the warm couch and was stunned, and asked directly.
Wei Ruyi came back to her senses, saw that it was her, and got up busily: "Sister Yansleeve...... Why hasn't Miss Chen rested so late? ”
Chen Yansleeve listened to her title, thought about her previous attitude, and laughed, she was also a hearty person, and only said: "In the future, you call my sister, I heard that you came back late, so I came to see it." After speaking, he brought a box to her: "This is for you." ”
Wei Ruyi looked at the mahogany box handed over, and before he opened it, he could smell the faint fragrance of medicine coming from inside.
She took it curiously, and when she opened it, she saw that a palm-sized emerald green fruit was lying inside. The rhizomes of the fruit are still there, apparently only dug up.
"It's ......"
"Fairy Spirit Fruit, I won it at the pot throwing meeting that day. It's useless for me to keep it, thinking that you can heal, so I'll give it to you. After Chen Yansleeve finished speaking, he seemed to have something to say, but he was embarrassed to say it.
Tan'er understood, and immediately led the maids in the room to withdraw, and when everyone left, Chen Yansleeve said to Wei Ruyi: "I know that although you are young, you are not stupid. Now, I still want to thank you, thanks to you last time, otherwise...... The consequences are unimaginable. She remembered that Yun Mian actually wanted to do such a thing to herself, and she only felt very disgusted, and now she was disgusted when she saw men.
Wei Ruyi looked at her ears crimson, and there was a murderous aura hidden in her eyes, and she only smiled: "Sister, don't worry, this matter is over, we won't mention it, no one will know, as for the cloud crown, I'm afraid it will be difficult to see it in the future." ”
"Will it? I still thought that when he came to his senses, he would come to me, and then you would just say that you hadn't seen him, and I would take care of the rest. Chen Yan's tone became colder and colder, and he looked like he was going to fight hard with Yun Mian.
Wei Ru thought that she was like this, knowing that she probably didn't know what happened after Yun Mian was thrown into Fang Jian's room, so he only pulled her to whisper a few words, Chen Yansleeve listened, first his eyes widened, and then he blushed and looked at Wei Ruyi, who had a wicked smile, and also laughed out loud: "I didn't expect that Fang Jian is a good man." It's just a good man, who would have thought that his weak little body would be ...... It's the one above. ”
Wei Ruyi saw that she was very happy, and she also smiled and bent her eyes: "This time the Fang family and the Yun family still have to fight, let's just do nothing for the time being, and in the future, that Yun Mian will have the face to make trouble, let's spread this matter, see if he dares to talk nonsense." ”
Chen Yansleeve looked at Wei Ruyi's sparkling eyes, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.
"I used to think you were a rude and unreasonable, but now I see that you are simply wilted." Chen Yansleeve rarely dispersed the majesty of his ordinary body, and laughed at her like a little daughter.
"Sister, don't say that, Ruyi wants to be everyone's lady, but God doesn't give her a chance." Wei Ruyi is a serious way.
Chen Yansleeve saw her like this, and felt more and more that he wanted to laugh, pulled her to laugh for a long time, and saw that the time was really not early, so he got up and prepared to leave, but before leaving, he took her hand and sighed deeply: "I didn't know you before, I didn't know your difficulties, Ruyi, I know, you are so transparent at a young age, you must have seen a lot and experienced a lot." Don't worry, you will be the granddaughter of the Chen family in the future, and outsiders will never dare to underestimate you again! ”
Wei Ruyi looked at her full of pity, her heart was warm, and she nodded obediently: "Ruyi understands, my grandfather and several uncles are distressed, and so is my sister." ”
Chen Yansleeve knew that she was well-behaved, but he felt more and more pity, looked at her deeply, and then left.
After she left, Wei Ruyi also returned to the house.
Seeing that everything was slowly getting better as she expected, she only held the fairy fruit on the bed, Lou Yan's poison, she would definitely be able to find a way to solve it.
The night passed, and the next morning Wei Ruyi took the fairy spirit fruit to plant, this fruit is different from ordinary plants, if it can be planted, it can grow one more fruit. It's just that it is recorded in ancient books that this fruit is almost extinct because it is difficult to survive.
"Miss." Tan'er came in from outside, Wei Ruyi listened to her slightly anxious footsteps, looked up, and saw Zhiyu, who had not been seen for a long time.
I haven't seen her for nearly half a month, Zhiyu seems to have grown taller, and when she saw her, she couldn't hold it back, so she ran over and knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Miss! ”
Wei Ruyi listened to her crying, and only smiled and asked Tan'er to help her up: "How are you doing?" ”
"It's half over, my mother said, thanks to your medicine, Miss." Zhiyu raised his head, wiped his tears, and then cried and said: "If it wasn't for Miss on the mountain, the slave maid would not only have to mess up the matter for the Miss, but also lose her life, and now the slave maid's life is given by the Miss, and she will be a cow and a horse in the future, and she will not leave the Miss if she is killed!" ”
Tan'er was moved when she heard this, Wei Ruyi only looked at Zhiyu, who was crying breathlessly, and said: "It's so easy for a girl to be a cow and a horse, who will save your life in the future, won't you want to be a cow and a horse for others?" ”
"That's not good, the slave maid is the young lady's cow and horse." Zhiyu said firmly.
Seeing her call herself like this, Tan'er couldn't help laughing, Zhiyu's little face climbed crimson, but her eyes were very firm.
Wei Ru didn't say anything more about her, but she was in such a hurry to come over, afraid that something had happened to the Hou Mansion.
"Miss, my mother asked the slave to tell Miss something."
Said in the house. Wei Ruyi asked Tan'er to guard at the door, and then led Zhiyu to the house.
When she got to the house, Zhiyu's words were something she never dreamed of.
"What you said is true?"
"It's true, it was Xing's mother who said it herself, but Xing's mother has not been in good health these days, and she is groggy and groggy, she herself said that she was infected with the cold, but my mother looked at it, it looked like she was poisoned." Know the rain road.
"If that's the case, then what Xing's mother said is probably true, otherwise she wouldn't have been poisoned to take her life." Wei Ruyi thought about it, and said, "Where is Mother Xing now?" ”
Zhiyu hurriedly replied: "My mother has secretly placed her according to your instructions, and the rest of her family has already been sent away by herself, and now she is alone." ”
Wei Ruyi bowed his head and only said seriously: "You go back first and tell Mother Xie that I will see her in the evening." ”
Knowing that the rain fell immediately, I hurried back.
After she left, Wei Ruyi carefully recalled what she said, both shocked and stunned, she never thought that the Yun family would be so ruthless.
It's just that this matter, it's better not to let the second brother and third sister know, otherwise they will be sad.
After thinking about it, Wei Ruyi didn't delay going to the princess's mansion, and immediately asked someone to prepare a carriage and go out.
As soon as she went out, Wu Ninghou had already come to Chen's mansion.
Chen Ding has friends in Beijing and China gathering these days, and he is not in the house, so it is Mrs. Chen who entertains guests.
Old lady Chen drank the medicine in the morning, practiced boxing in the yard for a while, and when she heard that he was coming, her attitude was very cold: "I don't see." ”
"But Wu Ninghou said that he came to pick up the fourth lady back this time." The little guy said.
"Pick up Ruyi?" Old lady Chen remembered the emperor's holy decree for marriage, and finally withdrew his momentum, and his subordinates handed over the robe to put on, and then blushed slightly: "Let him wait for me in the study." ”
The little guy is busy.
Waiting for the little girl to leave, Mrs. Chen called someone to invite Wei Ruyi, if she can't go back, she still has to make up her own mind, although he doesn't want her to go back, but if she is willing, he has no reason to stop her.
But the little guy who went over said that she was going out, but Mrs. Chen couldn't, so she had to go to see Marquis Wu Ning by herself.
After Wei Ruyi arrived at Princess Anchang's mansion, he was directly invited to Lianxin's room.
The furnishings in the room have really changed, not only the furniture should have been replaced with newly made mahogany, the bed curtain should also be replaced with cherry blossom pink light yarn, and there are two red satin sachets hanging at the head of the bed, hanging with plain white beads, full of girlishness, and Lianxin is half sitting on the edge of the bed, holding a thin book in her hand and reading, seeing her coming, her eyes are full of joy: "Sister Wei, you are here!" ”
"Well, I brought flowers." Wei Ruyi asked Tan'er to bring her newly picked flowers, and changed the bouquet in yesterday's vase for her and put it on the long table next to the window, before sitting on the edge of the bed and checking her pulse, sure enough, the pulse was much more stable.
Wei Ruyi smiled and said, "Very good, you will be able to get out of bed and walk soon." ”
Lianxin's eyes were shining, and after listening to her, she smiled and shared with her the sweet dream she had last night, Wei Ruyi listened to them one by one, and patiently talked to her for a while before getting up and saying goodbye.
After she left, King Rong walked in.
When Lianxin saw him, she was also full of smiles: "Uncle Rongwang." ”
Lianxin likes this Uncle Wang very much, after all, she has few relatives, and even fewer people close to her.
"Look what Uncle Wang brought you?" King Rong came over and asked him to bring a cage, and when the silk on the cage was lifted, two white and fat rabbits were revealed.
Seeing this round rabbit, Lianxin's whole heart was about to melt: "Uncle Wang, what a cute rabbit." ”
King Rong smiled and asked people to put it aside, then sat on the edge of the bed and said to her, "Miss Wei told me about your condition, how is it?" ”
"Sister Wei said that I will be well soon, you see, she also brought me freshly picked flowers." Lianxin happily pointed to the flower arrangement by the windowsill.
King Rong looked at her simple appearance, and smiled even deeper: "Miss Wei is a person with a heart, not only good medical skills, but also good people, you have to have more contact with her in the future." ”
Lian Xin nodded in agreement, and King Rong continued: "By the way, I heard that Miss Wei's medical skills were taught by an aunt, has she ever mentioned this aunt to you?" ”
Lianxin shook her head: "Sister Wei didn't mention it. After speaking, he saw King Rong's embarrassed face again, and looked at him with concern: "Uncle Wang, what's wrong with you?" ”
"Oh, it's a friend of mine, who has been on the battlefield all year round, and has a sickness. I also asked a famous doctor to see the disease, but I couldn't see it well, and then I also wanted to ask Miss Wei to see it, but after all, she was a girl who had not left the cabinet, and it was inconvenient, so I thought that it would be best if I could invite her aunt to take a look. King Rong sighed softly: "I don't know if it's inconvenient for you to ask, if it's inconvenient......"
"Don't worry, Uncle Rong, Sister Wei is a good person, I will ask for you." Seeing that he was so sad, Lianxin immediately comforted him.
After hearing this, King Rong looked at her gratefully: "Lianxin is the most well-behaved, if you can see that aunt, Uncle Wang can be regarded as worthy of his friend's trust." ”
Lianxin felt more and more that this cousin was a good person, who was both righteous and kind.
After Lianxin drank the medicine and fell asleep, King Rong slowly walked out of the room, saw the entourage waiting outside, and asked, "Where is my aunt?" ”
"The princess is still in the yard."
King Rong raised his eyebrows slightly, looked back at Lianxin's room, and ordered: "Order someone to take care of Lianxin, and send more of the things she likes." ”
"Don't worry, the prince."
"Well, now that you're back, let's go see the Second Emperor Brother and the Third Emperor Brother, as well as the Fourth Emperor Brother...... It's been a long time. King Rong smiled, and walked straight out.
When he was far away, Princess An Chang came out of the compartment.
The maid said on the side: "Princess, why didn't you come out to see His Royal Highness King Rong?" ”
Princess An Chang didn't speak, just looked at the back of King Rong leaving, and her thoughts were a little complicated. Now that the princes have grown up one by one, that coveted position is afraid that it will set off a bloody storm again. If King Rong had stayed in Biansai and not returned, she thought that she might be able to trust him all the time, but now that he had returned, he would inevitably be involved in these battles. She has seen too many people who distort their hearts for the sake of that position.
After thinking about it, he only said to the maid: "In the future, Miss Wei will only remind her to avoid King Rong." ”
When the maid heard this, she was a little surprised, but Princess An Chang didn't say anything more, and turned around and went to Lianxin's room.
After a morning, the matter of the emperor's marriage to Lou Yan and Wei Ruyi yesterday came out from the recent incidents in the capital, and spread to all the noble gates.
The gate of the National Teacher's Mansion has long been blocked, and the queue to congratulate them has even lined up a street away.
Ah Zhong looked at it quietly, and was about to go back to reply, when he saw Lingxi standing on the edge of the covered bridge looking at the reflection in the pool and thinking about something, he couldn't help but step forward and said, "Lingxi girl, what's wrong with you?" ”
Lingxi came back to his senses, his eyes flashed unnaturally, and then he said coldly: "It's too noisy outside, which is not conducive to his recovery." ”
"Yes, I'll send it away." Ah Zhong was busy leaving, but Lingxi You immediately turned around and stopped him: "Wait......"
Ah Zhong stopped and looked back at her: "Do you have any other orders?" ”
Lingxi looked at him, his eyebrows twisted slightly, and after a while, he shook his head: "It's okay." After speaking, he turned around and went to Lou Yan's room,
The wind in late spring blew up the remaining petals, and the newly drawn buds had faintly revealed the fragrance of summer, Lingxi walked all the way to the backyard, and saw the man in a plain white robe faintly leaning on a rattan chair by the lake with his eyes closed and pondering something, his footsteps stopped slightly, and only looked at him like this.
"Here we are."
Without her to make a sound, Lou Yan had already sensed her existence.
Lingxi heard his voice and lowered his eyes indifferently: "You are not in good health, you should rest early at night, don't go out to blow the cool breeze, otherwise you will induce the poison in your body, and the Daluo Immortal will not be able to save you." She said coldly, turned around and left.
Ah Zhong, who came with her, watched her leave, full of puzzlement: "What's wrong with Miss Lingxi today, why are you covered in thorns." ”
"Xu is tired, you have a good life to serve." Lou Yan slowly opened his eyes, as far as he could see, there was a verdant lake, and he seemed to remember something, and his phoenix eyes were finally dyed with a slight smile: "What Ruyi did last night, can the tail be cleaned up?" ”
"Your Excellency, if you have a subordinate to make a move, it will be appropriate, and Miss Wei has not left any handle." Ah Zhong recalled last night, and only felt funny: "I don't know what Miss Wei is thinking all day long, that Jin Chenghan is also her brother-in-law, and she actually made him suffer such a loss." ”
"Ruyi did the right thing." Lou Yan said lightly.
Ah Zhong saw that he was starting to protect the calf, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "Your Excellency, Miss Wei hasn't married in yet?" ”
Lou Yan glanced at him coldly, and Ah Zhong hurriedly said: "My subordinates know their mistakes. ”
"What's wrong?"
"Hmm...... It's just that Miss Wei shouldn't be said to be ......"
"You're ten years older, but you're not as clear as a little girl like her." Lou Yan got up slowly, returned to the room to pick up pen and ink, and wrote a letter to him: "Send it to Yu Yushi's mansion." ”
"What is this?" Ah Zhong didn't understand what these masters were thinking anyway, he only knew that Miss Wei was not only naughty, but also seemed to be just right? Anyway, I'll have to take this little woman as the master in the future.
Lou Yan said lightly: "Let Yu Yushi know that it was Jin Chenghan and King Rui who designed Yu Rouyi last night." ”
Ah Zhong was surprised: "Your Excellency sent this letter over to provoke the relationship between King Rui and the Yu family?" ”
Lou Yan saw that he couldn't understand anything, so he just looked at him silently.
Ah Zhong was a little embarrassed by him: "The subordinates are a little stupid ...... brains"
"Then talk less and do more."
"Yes, my subordinates will go!" Ah Zhong immediately responded loudly, turned his head and hurriedly ran.
After he left, Jiang Yan came over, and he was still surprised that Ah Zhong was in a hurry, and he walked in and said, "Xiao Yan, what are you asking Ah Zhong to do?" After speaking, he picked up a piece of white soft pastry on the table and stuffed it into his mouth, and nodded frequently: "Senior Sister Lingxi made it, her craftsmanship is really good." Xiao Yan, let me tell you, Xiao Ruyi is amazing, she wants to open her own inn, I also went to taste the craftsmanship of the chef she hired yesterday, it's really good, how much money can you earn by then? ”
Jiang Yan said in a rambling voice, not seeing the slightest loneliness.
Lou Yan ignored him and continued to sit by the lake.
Jiang Yan was not in a hurry, and joked with him about yesterday's incident as if he had finished speaking, before he said, "Xiao Yan, are you still angry that I took your pill?" Don't worry, with Senior Sister Lingxi here, what am I afraid of. ”
Lou Yan saw that he was still unrepentant, and continued to ignore him, looking at the scenery by himself.
Jiang Yan looked at him like this, so he said something wrong, and finally deflated: "That's it, I won't take your pills in the future." ”
"You can't be so reckless. You know very well what I am going back to Beijing for, and you know very well what the consequences of your involvement in this matter will be. I have just entered the court as an official, and most of the power is not in my hands, once the emperor is displeased and has murderous intentions, what should I do then? Lou Yan asked him.
Jiang Yan was silent, he was right, he was reckless, because he didn't believe that the kind and always smiling father would do such a thing.
Lou Yan saw that he didn't speak, knowing that he must have understood, so he said: "There is one more thing, I am a step late, you have to solve it yourself." ”
"What?"
"Last night, your waist card fell in the alley and was picked up by the Yu family." Lou Yan said lightly.
Jiang Yan was busy touching his waist, and seeing that he didn't seem to see the waist card this morning, he patted his head: "It's really negligent." After speaking, he immediately got up: "I'll go to Yu's house immediately." ”
Lou Yan thought about it and nodded.
Jiang Yan didn't dare to stay longer, so he hurriedly left.
When he went out of the door, he didn't dare to stay longer, and went straight to Yu's mansion, but when he arrived at the door, Yu Yushi greeted him with a smile: "Your Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, please." ”
Jiang Yan felt strange when he saw him so enthusiastic, but he didn't think much about it, and followed him in, just thinking about finding an opportunity to explain yesterday's waist card, but he didn't expect that after a while, Yu Rouyi came out in person, wearing a slim long skirt embroidered with ink and bamboo on a white background, which made her more and more beautiful like jade.
After coming over, she saluted gracefully: "Rouyi thanks His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince for saving his life." ”
Jiang Yan was stunned, the grace of saving his life?
Yu Rouyi saw that he didn't speak, but turned around and asked someone to hold a tray, and the tray was padded with a silk handkerchief, which was Jiang Yan's waist card.
Jiang Yan was dumbfounded, shouldn't she think that she was her hero who saved the beauty yesterday and didn't leave a name, right?
"The great kindness of the Seven Princes, Rouyi can't be repaid." Yu Rouyi's little face is crimson, and her eyes are even brighter, which is unforgettable at first sight.
"That ......" Jiang Yan looked at her embarrassedly, and said, "I happened to be passing by yesterday, and Miss Yu doesn't have to remember it." After speaking, Jiang Yan got up and took the waist card and was about to leave, Yu Yushi immediately stepped forward and said with a smile: "The great grace of His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, the lower official is unforgettable." After speaking, he immediately called Yu Rouyi: "Rouyi, come and kowtow to His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince to thank you." ”
Yu Rouyi immediately walked over, but Jiang Yan was so empty-hearted, how could she still ask her to kneel for herself?
Busy and serious: "No, no, it's just a small thing." ”
Seeing that he took pity on himself so much, Yu Rouyi's little face became more and more crimson: "Your Highness has been busy these two days?" Rouyi knows that it is overdue, but tomorrow is Rouyi's birthday, and there will be a small banquet in the house, I wonder if I can invite His Royal Highness to come......"
Yu Yushi hurriedly pretended to reprimand: "Your Royal Highness Seventh is a noble person, how can you come to your birthday banquet, nonsense." ”
After speaking, he hurriedly said to Jiang Yan: "Don't blame Your Highness Seven, Rouyi has just come to the capital, and she hasn't known a few people yet, because there are no nobles coming to Ming'er's birthday banquet, so she is so anxious, please look at her ignorance......"
Jiang Yan didn't dislike Yu Rouyi, and remembered that the first time she saw her, she went to the Chen Mansion, so she hurriedly said, "Isn't Miss Yu friendly with Miss Chen and Miss Wei?" Ming'er, they won't come either? ”
Yu Rouyi was stunned, couldn't she hear it, she just wanted to be close to him alone?
But after thinking about it, the Seven Princes are well-known for their gentleness, but they have never done anything harmful, most of them are simple, and I heard that he has always had a good relationship with Wei Ruyi, if he invites Wei Ruyi to come, he will not be afraid that he will feel uncomfortable tomorrow, and he is worried that he will not have the opportunity to get close to Wei Ruyi......
Thinking of this, she said from his words: "Miss Chen and Miss Wei have been invited, and they will come tomorrow." ”
"That's good." Jiang Yan smiled: "Don't worry, I will come tomorrow." After saying that, he went out happily.
After he left, Yu Yushi looked at Yu Rouyi with a smile: "I didn't expect you to be so blessed, just entered the capital, and you got the blue eyes of the Seven Princes." ”
Yu Rouyi lowered her eyes shyly: "It's just that the nobles and His Royal Highness King Xiao don't know about this yet, will they ......?"
Yu Yushi waved his hand: "It's okay, the nobles are naturally looking forward to our good, as for King Xiao, he has neither the power of his mother's family, nor his position in the court now, he is afraid that he is not as good as the Seventh Prince." Although the seventh prince has not yet been crowned king, his mother is a virtuous concubine, although her mother's family has no help, but the virtuous concubine has always been friendly with Roujia Guifei, and now the queen is also tossing and turning, and it is still unknown who will die in the future. ”
Yu Yushi's thoughts deepened, Yu Rouyi only looked at Jiang Yan's back, thinking about the red-clothed fierce horse who saw him for the first time, and now he is a humble gentleman, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
Either way, she must marry this man!
When Wei Ruyi arrived at Chen's house in the afternoon, he met Marquis Wu Ning.
Wu Ninghou was waiting for her to come, and she came back, so Wu Ninghou immediately stepped forward and said: "Ruyi, I have already asked people to pack up their things, you go and say goodbye to the old lady, and we will go home." ”
"Ahem!" Old Lady Chen, who was sitting on the top, coughed violently a few times, reminding Wu Ninghou of his existence.
Wu Ninghou hurriedly gave Wei Ruyi a look and sat on the side.
Wei Ruyi stepped forward to salute Mrs. Chen first, and then said, "Grandfather, Ruyi thinks that it is better to go back to the Hou Mansion with his father first." ”
Old Lady Chen's face sank: "What are you going to do when you go back?" And no one to take care of you. ”
That's right......
Wu Ninghou stood up with a little weakness and said, "Don't worry, I will take care of Ruyi." And recently her two aunts are also going back to the capital with the old lady, no one presides over the feed of the Hou Mansion, and it happens that the emperor has given her the marriage, so I want to hand over the matter of the feed to her, I can learn how to run the family in advance, and I have to prepare for the decision and the dowry when I get married. ”
Old lady Chen listened, although there was some truth, but he just didn't like Wu Ninghou, an ungrateful snob.
only looked at Wei Ruyi deeply: "Do you really want to go back?" Those dowries, the Chen Mansion still has, and there is no need to buckle the noose like someone, it must be a dowry of one hundred and twenty-eight units, so that you can marry in style. “
Wu Ninghou: "......"
Wherever he buckles, he is really poor!
He said again: "Old lady, Ruyi is still the daughter of the Wei family in the end, if she marries from the Chen Mansion, in case others want to gossip......
"I'm going to see who dares to pass it on!" Old lady Chen slapped him, and the whole room shook three times, and the majesty he had galloped on the field for many years was not obtained in vain.
Wu Ninghou's face was a little embarrassed, and now this old man Chen made it clear that he would not let Wei Ruyi go. He used to think about taking Chen back, but now it seems that not only can people take it back, but he also has to touch his nose when he mentions this.
Thinking of this, his mind became a little colder. Now that Wei Ruyi has been married by the emperor to Lou Yan, the hottest national teacher in the capital today, he is still afraid that he will not be able to continue the strings to a woman from a famous family?
His body stiffened, looked at Wei Ruyi and said, "Ruyi, my father will not harm you, and how he has treated you over the years, you also know in your heart, right?" ”
Wei Ruyi counted, of course there was a number, and he counted it clearly, and he took a small notebook and remembered, if you do those things, I will throw them on your head one by one sooner or later.
She looked at the angry old lady Chen, stepped forward and said obediently: "Grandfather, Ruyi should go back to the Hou Mansion for the time being, since my father said that the two aunts would come back, then Ruyi just asked the uncle who had been the dean of Qingshan Academy to help and let Qing'er go to Qingshan Academy to study." ”
When it came to Qingshan Academy, Old Lady Chen was stunned.
Qingshan Academy is a more famous academy than Pear Flower Academy, and the people who teach and study in it are all hidden people, among those people in the Wei family, the only one who still looks at Old Lady Chen is Wu Ninghou, who was the dean of Qingshan Academy, and his brother-in-law, and the sons of the family in the capital, there is no one who does not want to go there to study, it is Qing'er, he has also thought of countless methods, but Qingshan Academy just does not accept it.
"You are so young, how can you please your uncle?" Old Lady Chen deliberately asked her, Wei Ruyi understood, and only turned his head to look at Wu Ninghou: "Father will definitely help, right?" ”
Marquis Wuning suddenly had a feeling that he had been calculated, but the arrow was on the bow, and Wei Ruyi must take it back.
Only stalked his neck and nodded sullenly: "That's natural." ”
Wei Ruyi looked at his reluctant appearance and knew that he had always been at odds with his uncle, and if someone hadn't forced him, he would never have opened this mouth.
She added: "Since my father has responded, he will do it, grandfather can rest assured." ”
Old Lady Chen snorted lightly, looked at Wu Ninghou, who was holding on strongly, with a smile, and ordered: "In this case, come on, I ordered you to go down and send an invitation to Qing'er's classmates, and when the invitation from Qingshan Academy comes, we will hold a banquet in our house." ”
Wu Ninghou almost spit out a mouthful of old blood, they are still going to publicize it? Isn't there no room for repentance at all?
He gritted his teeth, but he didn't say a word of objection.
When the next person also went, Wu Ninghou urged Wei Ruyi: "It's not too early, go and prepare." ”
"Yes." Wei Ruyi looked at the old lady Chen who had a serious face but couldn't hide her worries, her heart was sour, but she had to go back to the Marquis of Wuning's mansion, and only by going back could she keep an eye on his every move and better arrange the next plan!
After packing up her things and coming out, Wei Ruyi hadn't walked out of the yard yet, when she saw Qing'er running over with red eyes on her calves, and when she saw her, she stopped from afar and said timidly: "Sister is leaving?" ”
Seeing Wei Zeqing, Wei Ruyi was the most reluctant.
"Qing'er, come here." Wei Ruyi beckoned to him, and Wei Qingze hurriedly ran over.
Wei Ruyi leaned over to look at him, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes for him, and then smiled: "Sister will go back to the Hou Mansion for a while to deal with some things, and when the matter is dealt with, she will definitely come back to see Qing'er, okay?" ”
Wei Zeqing nodded hurriedly, and then looked at her: "That sister should remember, don't forget Qing'er." ”
"Of course." Wei Ruyi looked at his pitiful appearance, and her heart softened into a puddle of water, but if the matter was not resolved, she did not dare to take it lightly.
Chen Yansleeve also walked in from outside, took the invitation card from the Yu family, gave it to her, and said: "If the Hou Mansion is not happy, you find someone to notify me, and I will pick you up." ”
Wei Ruyi knows Chen Yansleeve's temperament, she is an open-minded and atmospheric person, once she identifies the person, she will never doubt it, Wei Ruyi is only worried that after she leaves, she will be taken advantage of by Jiang Di.
"Sister, can you promise one thing?" Wei Ruyi looked at her fixedly.
"Say it."
"Go and beware of King Xiao." Wei Ruyi said solemnly.
Chen Yansleeve didn't expect her to mention King Xiao, and she still had to be wary of it, but seeing that she looked serious, she also paid attention to it: "Ruyi, what did you hear?" ”
Wei Ruyi didn't know how to explain to her, but said: "This person is not a good person, although I can't say the situation between the DPRK and China for the time being, but it is true that he is eager to find a backer." It used to be the Runan Wangfu and the Yun family, and now it is the Chen family. ”
Chen Yan's palms tightened, and his eyebrows tightened.
Wei Ruyi saw that she had listened to her words, and a few sneaky figures flashed at the door, afraid that she would cause trouble to the Chen family if she said too much, so she lowered her eyes and explained a few words to Qing'er, and then left.
She walked for a while, but Chen Yansleeve's face did not relax.
Fang Cai Ruyi actually mentioned the government and hinted at seizing the heir, but how old is she, how can she see these things? And the matter of Steward Huang last time seemed to be strange, although Steward Huang did have a problem, but his father checked that he really hadn't had time to poison him, and the doctor who later treated Qing'er disappeared without a trace the next day......
"Ruyi ......" Chen Yansleeve looked at her slender back that was drifting away, and her thoughts became complicated, why did she always feel that this little cousin seemed to be hiding a huge secret in her heart?
Wei Ruyi left the Chen Mansion and never saw her mother, she didn't know if her mother still refused to forgive herself, or if there was another reason, until she returned to the Wuning Hou Mansion, she didn't have time to think about it.
Just arrived, Wei Qizhang was waiting at the door, and when he saw her coming, the night was just dark, and the red light of the lantern at the door fell on her, reflecting her little face, making him feel at ease.
"Ruyi."
"Second brother." Wei Ruyi stepped forward and called him softly, Wei Qizhang smiled gently, and rubbed her little head habitually, before saying, "The front hall has prepared your favorite meal, are you hungry?" ”
"Hmm." Wei Ruyi nodded, looking at such a gentle second brother in a trance, as if every time she came back from playing crazy outside, her father and mother would definitely scold her, only the second brother would quietly take her to eat delicious food, and be punished and scolded with her.
She obediently followed behind Wei Qizhang, Wu Ninghou walked in the front, walking and walking, Wei Qizhang's hand behind him spread out, and there was a piece of intact chestnut cake lying in the palm of his hand.
Wei Ruyi was stunned for a moment, and when she looked up, she saw Wei Qizhang quietly turning his head sideways and smiling at her.
When she was a child, Wei Ruyi was hungry when she ate a lot of food, and the grandmother who raised her at that time thought she was fat, and she was not allowed to eat enough at every meal.
Wei Ruyi looked at the chestnut cake in his palm, reached out and took a bite, it was soft and glutinous, sweet but not greasy, and it was the same as when he was a child.
Wei Qizhang looked at her eating pastries in a daze, the chill in her eyes all dissipated, and then turned around and followed Wu Ninghou to the front hall.
"It's still Miss Ergongzi." Tan'er said enviously on the side.
"Yes, the second brother has always treated me the best." Wei Ruyi looked at the remaining half of the pastry, and his mind sank slightly, how good it would be for the second brother to always be the second brother, they would always be brother and sister.
After finishing dinner in the front hall, Wei Ruyi made an excuse to come out early, and it happened that Wu Ninghou pulled Wei Qizhang to speak, so he didn't follow.
Back at Nanfeng Courtyard, Wei Ruyi turned off the lights after a simple wash.
After a while, a figure in a black cloak ran out quickly on the backyard wall of the South Wind Courtyard, bypassing the already quiet street market, and only entered an inconspicuous small mansion somewhere.
As soon as you enter the small house, you can see people fidgeting in the main hall when you open it.
"Thank you, Mom."
"Miss, you're finally here, Mother Xing, she ......" Before Mother Xie finished speaking, Wei Ruyi had already lifted her cloak and walked quickly to the room on the side, and when she saw the person lying on the bed, she stepped forward to probe her pulse, which was poisoned into the bone marrow and was hopeless.
"Fourth Miss ......"
Xing's mother coughed a few times, and some black blood overflowed from the corners of her dark blue lips.
Wei Ruyi saw her like this, and didn't hide it from her: "You are too deeply poisoned, I can't save you." ”
"The slave knows." Xing's mother was a little disappointed in her eyes, but she didn't say anything: "She will never let me go after she knows that I have discovered her secret, and only when I die, my grandson can live." ”
"Then what do you have to say, hurry up and tell the young lady." Xie's mother reminded.
Wei Ruyi took a pill from his sleeve and gave it to her: "Although it can't cure your poison, it can make you less painful." ”
Xing's mother didn't hesitate, took it and ate it, then gently leaned on the side of the bed, looked at her and smiled: "I knew that Miss Fourth was transparent, but it's a pity that I was not blessed with my wife, and I didn't trust Miss wholeheartedly at the beginning, otherwise it wouldn't be today." That incident, I think Mother Xie also told you something, but I didn't make some details clear, that is the man in the rouge shop last time, not the person who cuckolded Hou Ye. ”
"Then he's ......"
"That man's own brother is just a ghost of the dead. The reason why Madame is so sad about his death is because once he dies, it means that the man she really wants to hide will have to come out and face the danger on his own. As Xing's mother spoke, she only felt more and more tired, so she simply grabbed Wei Ruyi's arm and said, "Fourth Miss, the second son is not born to Hou Ye, you must tell Hou Ye about this!" And the death of the eldest prince back then, it has nothing to do with you, it's the lady herself......"
Before Xing's mother finished speaking, a sound of breaking the sky suddenly came from the dark, Wei Ruyi narrowly dodged, and saw that the sharp blade had pierced into Xing's mother's eyebrows, and Xing's mother died on the spot.
Mother Xie's face was pale, and she hurriedly pulled Wei Ruyi up: "Hurry up!" ”
Wei Ruyi put on her cloak, turned around and jumped out of the page, but she didn't expect it, so she jumped out of the window, and the swords of the two black-clothed people were already on her neck, accompanied by Sen Han's voice: "Madam has an order, those who know about it, kill!" ”
