Chapter Eighty-Four: Tossing and Turning Insomnia
Bai Jinghao didn't feel that she had anything worth using in front of her, even though she had some boudoir methods, but compared to his scheming, it was nothing more than a drop in the bucket, and it was not worth mentioning at all.
He is a dignified prince, and he condescends to come to him for cooperation?
When a gust of wind came, Bai Jinghao shuddered, and his tone was calm: "The prince wants to deal with the Zong Yu Marquis Mansion and the General's Mansion. Her tone was firm, not a question, and reminded him: "Those two mansions are all relatives of the Bai family. ”
Liu Yu sneered: "Do you have affection for them?" ”
Bai Jinghao didn't mind this tone, and said bluntly: "Family in-laws, honor and loss are related, I don't do anything to betray my family." ”
These words made Liu Yu's eyes light up, and he even appreciated it.
"I thought you were like those backhouse women who only knew how to compete for fame and favor, but I didn't expect that you would be able to abandon personal grievances and put the family first."
Bai Jing was not shocked, and took over in the same tone as usual: "If I do whatever it takes for my own selfish interests, then I will not end well in the future." No matter how cold the Bai family treats me, it is my home after all. ”
Liu Yu walked towards her with his hands in his hand, "Yes, I know about Entu." ”
Bai Jinghao quietly retreated, keeping a distance from him.
He stopped and asked, "What are you panicking about?" If I had harmed you, I would have harmed you long ago. ”
"I know that the prince disdains my life."
Liu Yu got closer to her, and his tone was as gentle as water: "Then what are you hiding?" ”
Bai Jinghao turned over directly and said quickly: "Don't disturb the prince to enjoy the flowers under the moon, the little woman will say goodbye." ”
The words fell and the figure had not moved, and the left wrist was tightened.
He strained his palms.
Bai Jinghao raised his arm to break free, and whispered, "What is the prince doing?" ”
"You really refuse?"
Bai Jinghao was about to reply "yes", but seeing that his eyes were shining, he inexplicably sensed the danger, and hurriedly eased his face and said with a smile: "Lord Wang, we have something to say, men and women don't kiss." He shook his wrist and motioned for the other party to let go.
Liu Yu didn't move, seeing that she was still fighting for the family with righteousness and awe, but now she was so flattering and showing weakness, she said with a smile: "You can really bend and stretch." ”
"Those who know the times are handsome. If the prince has orders, let's talk about it first, if it doesn't hurt, the little girl is willing to serve. She blinked, unwilling to confront such a person.
Liu Yu also cooperated with a light smile, and said kindly: "I said that it was this king who came to help you." ”
"I don't dare to bother......"
Before the words were finished, thinking of his remarks, Bai Jinghao hurriedly changed his words: "Everything is going smoothly, even you know that I have taken over the middle feed of this mansion, and no one dares to bully me, so I really don't need the help of the prince." ”
Liu Yu asked, "What about your dead mother?" ”
"It's a long story, and I'll figure it out slowly." Bai Jinghao was afraid of displeasing him, and added: "If you encounter trouble in the future, I will go to the prince for help." ”
She really hasn't seen this kind of door-to-door request for help, what's the situation?
Liu Yu let go of her hand, saw her standing there rubbing her wrist, and secretly looked at herself, and her smile deepened.
Bai Jinghao saw him staring like this, and he didn't speak, wanting to leave but afraid of being stopped, he cautiously asked, "Does the prince have anything else to instruct?" ”
Knowing that she was in a hurry to leave, Liu Yu had no intention of staying for a long time, so she turned around and left with another "nothing".
Leave blank and quiet, and be stunned in the wind.
After returning to Pinmeixuan, Nuan Yue came to be concerned about the situation and asked the master if he had embarrassed her.
Bai Jinghao shook her head, asked her to go down to rest, and passed Qiao's mother over.
Seeing the ring, Qiao's mother was puzzled: "This is ......" She couldn't wait to go back to the house to confirm, but felt unlikely, "When did Miss get it?" ”
"It's not the one you have now."
"How can there be two identical ones?"
Bai Jinghao said "yes" softly, and muttered to herself, "Why did Wei Shizi send me a new one?" ”
Qiao's mother is also a smart person, and immediately reacted: "When I went to the princess's mansion to ask the county lord of Qinglong to look for the missing ring of the young lady, I said that it was important, and I also deliberately drew drawings to leave it. On the second day, Miss received the ring found by Wei Shizi in the Chengguo Mansion, could it be that Wei Shizi specially found a new one for Miss according to the drawings? ”
She said with joy on her face, and was about to speak again, but was stopped by Bai Jing's good eyes.
In fact, this was already well known, Bai Jinghao whispered: "Mom, send back the ring I brought from the Guogong Mansion tomorrow." ”
"What do you mean then?"
"You first go to the second brother's Yanque Tower to borrow two travelogue books, and go to the Guogong Mansion on the pretext of sending books to the county lord. When you see the county lord, you give her the jade ring and ask her to return it to Wei Shizi. ”
She and Wei Li are the daughters of the boudoir who have a relationship with each other, and outsiders can't gossip if they know about it.
Qiao's mother nodded and sighed, "It's just that I failed the kindness of the Wei family." ”
"I can't take his kindness." Bai Jinghao's tone was resolute.
Wei Li treats herself too well, she can't use it back. After a long period of contact, I always feel guilty about the county lord of Qinglong.
Joe's mother answered and left.
In the spring, he came in to serve her to wash, reminded her to rest early, and said that the stewards in the house would come to visit her tomorrow morning.
Bai Jinghao nodded, asked about Chunxiao's injury and asked her to stay on the couch outside for the night.
But lying on the bed, Bai Jinghao didn't feel sleepy at all, and his mind turned over and over again the eyes of the Nine Kings when they measured themselves. What did he want to do by the flowers? The ring was returned to her at the door of the study, and she had been talking to her father for a long time, waiting so long for a few inconsequential greetings?
He had come quietly in the night, and he didn't want anyone to know, but he had a conversation with his father when he knew that she was eavesdropping, and he didn't give a warning when he stayed at risk, but offered to help her.
Bai Jinghao never believed in the benefits of falling from the sky, turned over and closed his eyes in the direction of the bed wall, but remembered the scene of every encounter with the Nine Kings. couldn't help but comically guess, didn't he take a fancy to her eclectic way of harming people?
It's funny.
She was tossed by this thought for a long time, and when she was just a little sleepy, she was awakened by the blinding light.
Nuan Yue was holding up the lamp and candle and lifted the bed curtain, "Miss, it's time." ”
Bai Jinghao reminded her to get up too early last night, so she had to sit up and be served by the maid to wash and change her clothes.
Sure enough, before she finished her breakfast, someone knocked on the door of Pinmei Xuan's courtyard.
In winter, the days are short and the nights are long, and the sky is not yet light.
Bai Jinghao ordered someone to remove the dishes, and wiped the corners of his lips with a smile, "It's really early." ”
The first to come was the housekeeper of the inner courtyard, who was in her forties, and her husband's surname was Yan, and she was called Yan's mother's family. Behind her, there were several capable housekeepers and daughters-in-law, and the group stood all over the flower hall.
I wanted to be caught off guard and let the eldest lady fall into the reputation of arrogant and disrespectful to the old people, but who knew that the eldest lady had already gotten up, and she was very surprised.
There was also a maidservant beside Yan Niangzi holding the account book, and a group of people saluted: "Say hello to the eldest lady." ”
