Chapter Forty-Six: Who Dominates Behind the Scenes
Jiang's face instantly turned pale, his eyes changed again and again, he walked over in two steps, and slapped Luo Qingwan on the face in front of everyone.
Listening to the crisp sound of "popping ......" in the dark night, Luo Qingwan was stunned, Qu was stunned, and even the old lady turned her head to look at Jiang in disbelief.
"Get on your knees!"
"Mother...... You hit me......" Luo Qingwan covered her face aggrievedly, tears falling straight down.
"I'm not only going to beat you, but I'm going to teach you!"
"What do I tell you on a daily basis? Your three from the four virtues and women's etiquette, have you learned the dog's belly? Su'er is your sister and the young lady of the Luo family, even if there is really something outside, you can't be presumptuous here, where are you putting your father and grandmother like this?! ”
Lin Qi looked at such a scene, and couldn't help sneering in his heart, where is the Jiang family educating Luo Qingwan, it is obvious that he is using the excuse of breaking the siege to follow Luo Qingwan's words to set her up.
She said, "Even if there is really something outside", she immediately confirmed the stigma of Lin Qi going out to steal people.
"However, it is obvious that Luo Baisu is at fault first, you see, this is evidence that she has a private affair with a man." Luo Qingwan stretched out her hand and handed a white handkerchief to the old lady.
The old lady took the handkerchief, her face sank again and again, in the end, she was the most beloved granddaughter, how could she be wronged.
On the side, the Jiang family suddenly woke up, hugged Luo Qingwan, and his face was full of apologies, "In this way, it is your mother who blames you." ”
He turned his head to Lin Qi and said in a deep voice, "The rumors with the third prince before, you are so sure, we all think that you are wrong, who would have thought that it was really true, it doesn't matter if you hide it from us, but how can you even hide it from the old lady and the old man?" Su'er, you've disappointed your mother so much. ”
Hearing this, the old lady trembled with anger, held the cane tightly with both hands, and threw it to the ground with all her might, and the sound of hitting the stone slab caused a crisp sound.
With a hand, he threw the white handkerchief back to Lin Qi, and pointed at Lin Qi with trembling hands, "Who is that person!" ”
Lin Qi stood calmly, she must not say that the emperor asked her to cooperate in handling the case, and even if she said so, they might not believe it, so why bother.
But at that time, Qu walked out from behind the crowd with a smile and stood beside Lin Qi, "Old lady, Mrs. Jiang, you all misunderstood, I asked Su Er to help bring this white handkerchief back." ”
"The master was unwell a few days ago, so I thought, Su'er knows how to heal, let her help make a medicine bag for the master to wear, first, for the sake of the master's body, this is also Su'er's heart."
Qu said this, his face tried his best to remain calm, but Lin Qi stood beside her, clearly feeling her body trembling slightly.
Qu took the white handkerchief from Lin Qi's hand and rubbed it carefully, "But the house is basically a handkerchief for young ladies, and the lord uses it, so he naturally has to buy a new one and embroider the mountains and rivers, so that it looks auspicious, Su'er wants to give the master a surprise after doing it, so he conceals it everywhere, which is really bitter for this child's filial piety." ”
Qu Shi said everywhere, and when he looked at it again, this was indeed a clean new handkerchief, with nothing on it, if it was used by ordinary sons, it must have been embroidered.
"Is this true?" The old lady's expression eased slightly, but she still didn't smile at all, and she was angry when she looked at Lin Qi's indifferent expression.
Lin Qi nodded.
"I don't believe it, this is clearly the stuff of the wild man that Luo Baisu brought back from outside, grandmother, mother, don't be deceived by them."
Seeing that this matter was about to end, Luo Qingwan immediately jumped out again, how could she let go of the handle that she had finally grasped.
"What does my sister mean is that my father is a wild man?" Lin Qi pretended to be surprised and covered his mouth, his eyes staring at Luo Qingwan, waiting for her to enter the set.
"I ...... That's not what I meant......" Luo Qingwan cowered and hid behind the Jiang clan.
"What do you mean by that sister?" Lin Qi just refused to let go.
"Enough, the New Year's Eve is noisy and peaceful, and in the future, no such thing is allowed to happen again, it's all a family, why bother!" The old lady stopped for a moment, although it was just a very ordinary sentence, but Lin Qi knew very well in her heart that she was making excuses for Luo Qingwan.
"Let's disperse."
Immediately, following the footsteps of the old lady's departure, a group of people came and went in a hurry, until in the end, only Lin Qi, Qu's, and Luo Fulan were left.
"Just a matter of talent, thank you aunt for helping in time." After everyone left, Lin Qi spoke softly.
Qu reluctantly handed back the white handkerchief in his hand, his face was a little flustered, and he smiled awkwardly, "What do you say, since it is for your father, you have to put more effort into it." ”
With that, he grabbed Lovlan and turned away.
Lin Qi looked at their backs and knew in his heart that although Qu Shi was unwilling to say it on his face, today's actions were enough to prove the camp she chose.
Qu didn't want Lovelan to get involved, so he used this matter to tell her that he would hide it from Lovelan in the future.
It's better to be careful.
Lin Qi walked all the way back to his courtyard, approaching the courtyard gate, and suddenly saw a figure flashing from the roof, the person was dressed like a fiery red, with a handful of snow-white fox fur between his head feathers.
It's him!
"Miss."
But at that time, the voice behind him suddenly pulled the pensive Lin Qi back to reality, Lin Ji turned his head and saw that the ugly ugly was looking at her with a puzzled expression.
"But here?" She immediately put away her expression, she should see sooner or later, for now, it is still important to get down to business.
"Well, the prince has been waiting here for a long time, and the young lady is back, you don't even know ......"
Before the ugly ugly finished speaking, Lin Qi had already turned around and entered the house.
In the house, Xiao Chengyue sat on the top in a black robe, holding a cup of osmanthus tea in his hand, and the smell of osmanthus flowers was fragrant all over the room.
Today, when she asked Chouchou to send a creed and ask Xiao Chengyue to help, Lin Ji had already expected that Xiao Chengyue would come to her in person to ask her for an understanding after the matter was completed, so he rushed back in a hurry along the way.
Unexpectedly, as expected, he really came.
"Today's matter, thank you for your help." Lin Qi walked straight over, like an old friend, and was not polite to him, poured a cup of tea from the table, and drank it all in one gulp.
Xiao Chengyue didn't speak.
After a long pause, Lin Qi was puzzled, "The prince doesn't ask, why did I do that?" ”
Xiao Chengyue held his sleeves slightly, and took a sip of the cup, "Zhang Ji, it's King Ning's person." ”
"What?!" As soon as the words came out, Lin Ji was shocked for a moment, she thought that Zhang Ji was corrupt and took bribes, this was just a drama of the emperor in order to knock on the government and the opposition and make an example of chickens and monkeys.
I never thought that the person behind it turned out to be King Ning!
The emperor is borrowing his strength, taking advantage of Zhang Ji's matter, and by the way, he is involved in King Ning, so looking at it, the emperor is very likely to know about the disaster relief incident in Bianbei, and he wants to ...... Take the opportunity to get rid of King Ning?
But why? That's his own son......
A series of information, Lin Qi couldn't accept it for a while, his eyes widened, and he froze motionlessly.
Suddenly, she reacted suddenly, "Be careful of Yun Shangshu!" ”
If Zhang Ji is King Ning's person, then the so-called people from the Western Regions in Zhang Ji's mouth must also be King Ning's person, the flower thief committed the crime, attacked Yunfu first, but Yun Shangshu was safe and sound, and even left Lan Ling at the scene of the incident as evidence of the flower thief's crime, and also pushed all the blame to the flower thief afterwards.
It is not difficult to guess that Yun Shangshu is hiding the real murderer, and this person is precisely King Ning who sells orchid flowers and wants to make trouble.
Lin Qi finally figured out why the so-called flower thieves chose the Zhongyun and Zhang families, because these two families have two things in common, one is that the family has a deep foundation and is rich, and the other is that they were both people from King Ning.
Xiao Chengyue's face finally showed a smile, and he slowly got up, his handsome face shining under the candlelight, "You, are you caring about this king?" ”
Xiao Chengyue slowly approached, and with a wave of his loose sleeves, most of the candles in the room were extinguished, leaving only a small candle in front of him, "Now, do you still want to marry King Ning?" ”
He asked extremely seriously, his eyes were a little bit of fire, affectionate, and the corners of his mouth flashed a confident smile, everything was under his control.
Lin Qi stood in place, not knowing how to speak for a while, she raised her eyes and smiled tentatively, "The prince likes Su'er?" ”
Xiao Chengyue nodded.
"Then does the prince like Luo Baisu, or me?"
Xiao Chengyue suddenly chuckled, stretched out his hand to hug her into his arms, and the warm breath was gently exhaled in her ear, "Luo Baisu is you, you are Luo Baisu, I like you." ”
The words of warmth and affection were like the cold ice of the deep sea in December, pouring Lin Qi thoroughly from beginning to end, and a chill poured straight into the heart along the eight veins of the body, feeling that the blood vessels had all been blocked, and the pain of suffocation.
A hint of coldness suddenly flashed in his eyes, Lin Qi chuckled, and pushed him away with all his strength, almost inaudible voice, "But, I don't like you." ”
Feeling that the body of the person in front of him froze suddenly, Lin Qi tried his best to suppress the bitterness in his heart, and looked at Xiao Chengyue, whose face was difficult to see, who could almost wring out black water.
He said solemnly, "The prince is about to be in the throne, there are only interests between you and me, and there is no emotion, and the prince doesn't have to use these illusory tricks to coax children to hold me in his hands, I will help you, because you have what I want in your hands, and you help me, just because I have the value of being used, you and I are not good people, why bother to use such a fallacy as love, and compare with the big position." ”
With that, he turned and walked out of the house.
Who said that all the people you meet in your lifetime will be the props for you to increase your emotional intelligence experience points, and among them, it is not just a process.
However, Lin Qi is unwilling to make this prop, even if he is destined to be a lonely widow, even if the loess is exhausted and scattered, the one who will lose it would rather not get it!
However, after she turned around and went out, she didn't hear Xiao Chengyue slowly spit out a sentence, "If the throne is compared to you, it is better to lose the world than to lose you......"
