Chapter 80: Live for Yourself
Qin Xiyan secretly blames the second wife for too many things, the surface is fake and high, but in fact she has the longest tongue, and she is everywhere. But he still said pitifully: "I don't know, how can it be so coincidental." Just in time for me to look for the prince. I obviously asked Cailian to invite the prince to Qiushuiju, but after waiting for a long time, I heard that something had happened. ”
Everyone looked at Xiao Yuan, and Xiao Yuan looked at the little maid kneeling on the ground.
The one he knocked out was named Hexiang.
Hexiang trembled and said, "It's Sister Qiuyun, let the slave wait for the prince there, and lead the prince to the wing." ”
Kowtowed and cried: "The slave didn't know that it was Shen Er Girl inside, Sister Qiuyun said that it was the palace girl who wanted to see the prince, and threatened the slave and maid with the slave's family, and the slave and maid had no choice, so she agreed." The slave was knocked unconscious by the prince, and I don't know what happened later. ”
Another little maid named Ginkgo biloba, the first one to find it, also busily said: "The slave is too, Sister Qiuyun asked the slave to go to the wing room to find something, saying that she lost a pair of earrings, and the slave and maid would pass." ”
Gong Lan is eating melons, and disaster falls from the sky. Qiuyun was her personal maid, and when she heard that both of them testified against her, she poofed, knelt on the ground, and said in fear: "It's the eldest lady, the eldest lady wants to see the prince, so she asked the slave maid for help, and the slave didn't dare not help." ”
Gong Lan's seven orifices smoked, and she gave her a slap in the face: "You, you dare to do this kind of thing without me." ”
Gong Lan didn't suspect that Qiu Yun was lying, Qiu Yun was the son of the Gong family and had served her for many years. He is also obedient on weekdays.
Gong Ling's temperament is obedient, and this thing is like what she can do.
Qin Xiyan saw that Gong Lan believed it, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This pot is carried by Gong Ling, and she will be fine.
Gong Lan was extremely angry at this time, and after thinking about it carefully, he felt that something was wrong: "Since Ling'er wants to see the prince of the world, how did she become the second girl Shen?" Didn't the prince go in and take a look? ”
Xiao Yuan said lightly: "I noticed that Hexiang was lying, so I didn't go." Didn't know there was anyone inside. ”
There was no fluctuation in his tone, and Gong Lan couldn't tell if it was true or not.
Instead, Qin Xiyan quickly glanced up at Xiao Yuan, and lowered his head again.
If Xiao Yuan is telling the truth, then it's okay. If Xiao Yuan told a lie......
She'll have to be more cautious in the future.
Qiuyun cried: "The slave doesn't know how she became the second girl Shen. If you knew, give the slave a hundred dares, and you wouldn't dare to do it. ”
She cried with tears, tugged at Gong Lan's skirt, and begged: "Concubine Side, the slave is wrong, please spare the slave for the sake of the slave and maid who have served for many years." ”
Gong Lan kicked her away and said angrily: "What's the use of you begging me? ”
She was really going to be angry, she was cautious for the past two days, and she didn't dare to make a mistake, but as a result, she was ruined by a minion. and Gong Ling, who is also uneasy.
Gong Lan said to the old princess: "Mother, the concubine really doesn't know about this matter, it's all this cheap maid who makes her own opinion, and asks the concubine to find out." ”
The old princess said in a deep voice: "Even if you don't participate, the discipline is not strict." ”
Gong Lan didn't dare to speak.
The second wife said curiously: "Then how did this person become the second girl Shen?" It's weird. ”
Qin Xiyan said casually: "I saw it halfway through, the palace girl and the second girl Shen were arguing in the back garden...... It may be that the palace girl is angry for a while...... I can't say for sure. ”
Gong Lan shouted: "What are you talking nonsense! ”
This is to say that Gong Ling gave Shen Ning the following set, Gong Ling's reputation was ruined because of poisoning, and Chen Guogong's Mansion is trying to save it.
If there is a rumor of ruining people's innocence, it is estimated that they will really have to die at home.
No one would marry such a poisonous woman.
Qin Xiyan hurriedly lowered his head and stopped making a sound.
At that time, Gong Ling and Shen Ningru went to the back garden, and a few people in the palace saw it.
The testimony of several people is a pair, which further confirms Qin Xiyan's words.
Gong Lan wanted to help say a few words, but he couldn't.
She knew that Gong Ling was going out. It's just that I don't know who I saw, and Gong Ling didn't say anything.
Gong Lan was empty in his heart, could it be that Gong Ling and Shen Ningru were annoyed by the conversation, so they designed to harm her.
Everyone agrees, and the matter seems to have reached a conclusion at this point.
What else did the second wife want to say, Xiao Yuan said: "Lotus incense is sold, and ginkgo biloba is degraded to the laundry room." As for Qiuyun......"
Gong Lan said: "Let the prince dispose of it." ”
Xiao Yuan said: "Then send it to the government." ”
This is not going to be checked again.
Qin Xiyan was completely relieved. She glanced at Shen Qingru unwillingly, but Xiao Yuan's behavior today was abnormal, and now she was able to pass the test safely, which was already a great luck. I don't dare to cause more trouble.
The second wife saw that Xiao Yuan had made a decision, although there were still a few things that could not be explained, but she did not say much.
Just as she was about to disperse, the old princess suddenly said: "The palace concubine has often made mistakes recently, and the people below are not strictly guarded. It's not suitable to manage the palace anymore, so the stewardship will be handed over to the princess. ”
As soon as these words came out, Gong Lan's heart skipped an instant.
Her worst fears still happened.
Forced to smile and said: "What the mother concubine said is that I have not done a lot of things recently. It's just that the princess is still young, and she has to take care of the little princess, so I'm afraid she doesn't have the energy to take care of the housekeeper. It's better to wait for Xiao Shizi to be older, and then it will be easier. ”
As soon as Gong Lan's words fell, the second wife smiled and said, "What the side concubine said is not right. The princess is young, but today's banquet is not also beautiful, and it is not worse than when the side concubine was the housekeeper. ”
As he spoke, he glanced at Qiu Yun, who was still kneeling on the ground, "If it weren't for the side concubine's slave and maid, it would be more perfect." ”
"You ......" Gong Lan wanted to scold angrily, taking into account the occasion, he endured and said: "The princess still has to take care of the little princess......"
The second wife said again: "When the side concubine was in charge of the house, the second girl was still in swaddling clothes, and the side concubine was not also in good care. ”
At that time, she also had the idea of fighting for the right to be a housekeeper, but Gong Lan was dead, and now the feng shui is turning, and Gong Lan also has this day.
As long as Gong Lan doesn't care about her family, she is happy. If you can let her take care of it, of course, it will be better. "Besides, if the princess is really too busy, don't you still have me and my four brothers and sisters, we can also help. The side concubine is still at ease to train the next person. ”
Gong Lan snorted coldly: "The second wife and the fourth wife are in charge of the palace, this is not suitable." ”
The old princess was also a little entangled, she was also afraid that Shen Qingru would be tired, not to mention that Shen Qingru and Xiao Yuan were now in love, and she was still looking forward to adding another child to the palace.
Although Shen Qingru has no interest in housekeeping power, the old princess has already spoken, and she can't lose the face of the old princess. Last time, Xiao Baozi was poisoned and deceived the old princess, and Shen Qingru still feels guilty.
Just as she was about to speak, suddenly the princess said calmly: "I can help Qingru together." ”
The crowd was even more astonished.
The princess usually doesn't even come out of Zizhuyuan, but today she actually wants to help Shen Qingru as a housekeeper.
Shen Qingru was a little moved, but she didn't want the princess to be reluctant, "Mother ......"
The princess shook her head slightly, turned to the old princess and said, "If the mother concubine is at ease, give it to the daughter-in-law." ”
In the princess's tone, with closeness and guilt, the old princess heard it.
After so many years, it was the first time that the princess had to take care of the house, and the old princess was full of relief, "Okay, the palace will be handed over to you in the future." ”
She is getting old, and her energy is getting worse day by day. I've wanted to let go completely for a long time, but there is no suitable person. I've been working hard.
Now Shen Qingru and the princess are both people she is optimistic about. Naturally, I can't ask for it.
The princess's housekeeper, that's a matter of course. No one has anything to say.
Although the second wife didn't ask for benefits, she took off Gong Lan, she was very satisfied, and Chong Gong Lan smiled proudly. took Xiao Yuesi away.
Xiao Yueyao is here to fill the number, otherwise it won't be a matter if none of the four rooms comes. Seeing that the matter was finished, he also followed.
Leaving Gong Lan alone, he was so angry that he was going to die, and there was going to be green smoke on his head. But I have to endure it.
Xiao Yueluo had a temper, and today she was wronged again, and she wanted to scold people for a long time, but she was pulled by the maids around her.
Gong Lan didn't even look at Qiu Yun, and left angrily.
Everyone was gone, and Qiuyun sat on the ground with a dead heart, and stopped crying. Looking at the ground and distracted.
When he was taken away by Manager Wan, he suddenly glanced at Qin Xiyan.
Qin Xiyan's fingers moved slightly, the movement was very small, except for Qiu Yun, who was staring at her, no one paid attention.
Manager Wan didn't go far with the people before he was stopped by Xingyun, who stunned Qiuyun and nodded to Manager Wan.
Mingxin Hall, only Xiao Yuan's family remains. The old princess also went back to rest.
Cai Lian picked up Qin Xiyan and stood honestly in the corner on the side.
Shen Qingru took the princess's hand, her eyes showing concern. Xiao Yuan said on the side: "If the mother concubine is unwilling to ......"
The princess patted Shen Qingru's hand, "It's okay, I'll have nothing to do all day, and the housekeeper can pass some time, besides, I'll be accompanied by Li'er." ”
Xiao Yueli winked at the two.
Shen Qingru and Xiao Yuan glanced at each other, it was good for the princess to come out for a walk. He didn't say anything.
The princess also left with Xiao Yueli.
In fact, as early as when Xiao Ji'er was poisoned, she had plans to take over the housekeeper. I just haven't made up my mind.
Until this incident, I finally stopped hesitating.
The princess knew that after so many years, she was willful after all.
failed to fulfill the responsibilities of a mother, and planned for Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yueli.
did not achieve the filial piety that a daughter-in-law should have, so that the old princess was still worried about the palace.
Forget Yueju's three and two accidents, and finally made the princess decide to walk out of Zizhuyuan and manage the palace. For Shen Qingru's mother and son, for Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yueli, and for the old princess, take on their own responsibilities.
As for herself.
In the family of the capital, there is no man who does not have three wives and four concubines. How many couples who respect each other on the surface are actually in the same bed and have different dreams.
Why should she be persistent, why should she force it. I wasted half of my life for this.
In the past, Shen Qingru, who was so ignorant, after a life and death, he was mature, optimistic, and beautiful.
How can she be inferior to a junior?
In the days to come, live for yourself and for those you love.
Go to see the blue sky, the moving scenery, and the infinitely beautiful rivers and mountains. You can't tie your life for a feeling that you can't ask for.
