Chapter 596: The Enemy of the Enemy Is an Ally
Taking the medicine box in Leng Yue's hand, Liyu opened it and put it under her nose and smelled it, there is indeed nothing wrong with this medicine, it is a normal medicine for allergies. Since it's not a matter of ointment, it may have something to do with Leng Yue's diet in the last few days, or something else.
Suddenly, Liyu thought of something, it should be this reason, and immediately, Chu Liyu hooked his lips and smiled, and the rest of the people who looked at it were even more confused.
"Second son, what are you laughing at? Is it really because this ointment saved my life? Leng Yue said softly.
"Of course not, do you remember that my second sister used precious herbs to prepare pills that can cure all kinds of poisons? Because the medicinal herbs are precious and rare, the pills that were developed were only distributed to those close to them, and several of you also took them. ”
"Yes, I didn't expect this pill to work so well, and after so many years, it is still effective." Leng Yue suddenly realized.
After the queen mother developed this antidote pill, she was very optimistic that it could last for two or three years, but she didn't expect that it would still be effective after five years. If it weren't for the antidote pill, I'm afraid she would be dead by now.
"Leng Yue, you are a very careful person, how could you suddenly be poisoned? Think about it, what did you eat on your wedding day? Chu Lixue said lightly.
Leng Yue is a person in the rivers and lakes, and she will definitely pay attention to her diet, unless someone makes her let down her guard. Leng Yue thought for a moment and remembered the bowl of porridge, but the maid said that Chu Lifeng was afraid that she was hungry, so she sent someone to send a bowl of porridge over, so it seems that someone is impersonating.
"I ate a bowl of porridge, and someone said that Lifeng was afraid that I was hungry, so he sent someone to bring it to me. But I never saw the maid again. However, there are also a lot of maids in Chu Mansion, and I have been raising them in my room these days, so it's not strange that I haven't seen them. Leng Yue said lightly.
Chu Lixue knows very well that Leng Yue wants to calm things down, but Chu Lixue is a person who does not tolerate sand in her eyes, Leng Yue married into Chu Mansion, she is the master of Chu Mansion, and a maid dares to attack him, if she is not instructed by someone, how dare she be a little maid?
"Leng Yue, since you are already married to my eldest brother, you have to use your identity as a big lady to suppress those restless subordinates, you can't just be bullied at will like this and not fight back." Chu Lixue said in a deep voice.
"Niangniang, I just got married, if I suppress those subordinates in the house now, I'm afraid it will be criticized. And there are still Mrs. Wu and the old lady in the house, I don't want the old lady to hate me even more. Leng Yue hung her head and said.
Seeing Leng Yue's appearance, Chu Lixue sighed very much in her heart, how to say that Leng Yue is the aunt in charge in her Fengluan Palace, the women in the palace and the women in the mansion are some difficult characters, she gave Leng Yue two maids to marry in order to let her have a capable person.
That's right, what about the two girls who married Leng Yue? Why didn't the two of them take good care of Leng Yue, and let someone send hot porridge, didn't they know to prepare some food for Leng Yue?
Thinking of this, Chu Lixue raised her eyebrows slightly, "By the way, when you were in the room, weren't Yulan and Cuilan by your side?" ”
"Both of them stood guard outside the door, saying that it was the rule of the house." Leng Yue said lightly.
Hmph, it's ridiculous, when did the house have such a rule, even on weekdays, there must be a girl to serve by the master's side, how can you not be by your side on the night of the wedding?
"After you go back, do everything carefully, and try your best to let Yulan and Cuilan open a small stove for you in Yingyue Xuan. Don't take anything you think about it before you check it carefully. Chu Lixue said lightly.
Back at the house, the little guy in the house came over to help move all the supplements on the carriage into Yingyue Xuan, and the Wu family was very red-eyed, she was the eldest lady from a big family, what is Leng Yue? is just a slave, even with the support of the queen, it is not noble.
This time when she entered the palace, the queen rewarded her generously, didn't this make it clear that she was slapping her in the face? She also knew that the queen didn't like herself at all, but marrying Chu Lifeng was not her own decision, if Chu Lifeng didn't want to marry, she wouldn't be where she is today.
Yi Zhuyuan is the place where Chu's mother lives, Leng Yue came back from the palace and brought back a lot of gifts, and the news has already reached Chu's mother's ears.
I really didn't expect that Leng Yue, a girl, would be so loved by the queen's mother, and she publicly wanted to support her, and there were so many gifts, not to mention taking some to honor her mother-in-law, maybe Leng Yue was a good hand at doing things, but when it came to being a man, Chu Lengyue was less than one-tenth of the Wu family.
Leng Yue returned to Yingyue Xuan, and asked people to select some high-quality supplements, and sent them to the Wu family and Chu Mu respectively, and the rest were locked in the warehouse.
Chu Mu looked at the bird's nest and ginseng on the table, there was no joy on her face, in her opinion, if Leng Yue had a heart, she should have sent her all those high-quality supplements, instead of just sending her these two boxes to send her, when she was asking for food?
"Old lady, this new lady really has a heart, look, these supplements sent to you are all of the highest quality." Mama Hu, who was beside Mother Chu, said with a smile.
"Is she good? Hmph, it's really filial piety to give me my daughter's things. Chu Mu deliberately accentuated the voice of filial piety.
Hearing Mother Chu say this, Mama Hu secretly said in her heart, although this is all rewarded by the queen's mother, but Mrs. Yue thinks that it is already very good, if people refuse to send it, is it possible that you still have to rely on your identity to ask for it?
I want to think so, but I don't dare to say it, after all, she is also a slave in this house, her husband died early, and her son and daughter are also doing things in the house, and the master's affairs, the slave doesn't want to help do evil, so he can only watch coldly.
Speaking of which, this new lady Yue is still a good character, her daughter is working in her yard, and the last time her daughter broke a vase when she was cleaning the house, there was no punishment. If this is in Mrs. Wu's yard, it will definitely be in the yard rubble.
That night, Chu Lifeng returned to the house, Chu's mother summoned the whole family to dinner together, Wu personally cooked and scalded the wine, and Leng Yue made a few dishes.
A family that looks very harmonious on the surface, but in fact there is a turbulent undercurrent inside. Wu Shi lifted the wine jug and poured it full of wine for Chu Mu and the others, "Today, it's rare for us to have dinner together as a family, Sister Yue, how old am I to you, so I'll be older." You drank this glass of wine today, we are good sisters, can we serve our mother and husband well? ”
Seeing the Wu family's overtures, Leng Yue naturally wouldn't be embarrassed, she originally hoped to live in harmony. Then he also stood up, held the wine glass and said: "What my sister said is that I just entered the mansion, and since the affairs in the mansion have always been taken care of by my sister, my sister will still take care of it, and I will be lazy." It's better to be like this, you and I serve our husband together, then everyone will be half a month, I don't know if my sister can agree. ”
"That's naturally good, my sister is newly married, and my husband should go to your room more." Wu said with a smile.
Watching Leng Yue drink the wine in the cup, Wu smiled lightly and sat on the chair. Chu Lifeng was also very surprised when she saw this, this is not Wu's character, maybe it was because Leng Yue entered the mansion, she had a sense of crisis in her heart, so she wanted to live a good life.
"Baoyi, I know you are kind, but Leng Yue's allergies are not good yet, if you are infected with Lifeng, then how can it be good, let Lifeng rest in your room these days, and when Leng Yue is good, it is not too late to go to her room." Chu Mu said coldly.
There is a way that the enemy is an enemy, and the enemy is an ally, since the Wu family and Chu Mu don't like Leng Yue, then the two of them naturally want to form an alliance. Wu will buy some good things to honor himself on weekdays, even if he does it on the surface, it is impeccable. And what about this cold moon? said that she was the aunt in charge from the palace, but she couldn't see her shrewdness from these things.
Hearing this, although Leng Yue felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, she couldn't say anything, after all, the whole house already knew about the rash on her body on the day of her wedding. Sometimes it's not that she doesn't want to play tricks to fight for it, but she doesn't want to make it difficult for Chu Lifeng because of her own affairs.
After all, Chu's mother is Chu Lifeng's mother, if it is because of her that Chu Lifeng is charged with unfilial piety, how can it be good?
Moreover, the person who poisoned her before did not have any clues, if she turned against Chu Mu now, I am afraid that there will be no peaceful days in this mansion in the future.
Thinking of this, Leng Yue got up and respectfully saluted Mother Chu and said, "What Mother said is that my illness has not fully recovered, so my husband will go to my sister's room for the night." The husband has no children under his knees now, and the husband can no longer delay his own affairs because of official duties. ”
When Leng Yue said these words, her heart was very painful, she had been by Chu Lixue's side for many years, seeing that the relationship between the emperor and Chu Lixue was so good, it was really enviable to have a couple for a lifetime, but it was a pity that Chu Lifeng had married the Wu family, and she was destined to not have such feelings in her life.
Since you can't do it for a lifetime, you might as well take a step back, don't seek to monopolize Chu Lifeng alone, just want to be able to stay with Chu Lifeng until you grow old.
"I ......" Chu Lifeng was a little reluctant, he had no relationship with the Wu family at all, and it was indeed very difficult for him to be with a woman he didn't like?
Mother Chu saw Chu Lifeng's face embarrassed, and then said: "Lifeng, the heirs of the Chu family are the most important, is it possible that you want the Chu family to cut off the incense?" Both of them are your wives, you like Leng Yue, but you shouldn't snub Baoyi, if this matter spreads, wouldn't it ruin the reputation of the Chu family? ”
