Chapter 75 Fend for yourself
The fourth prince had severe pain in his feet, and he no longer dared to take advantage of Xiao Lingxiao. He left a few people here to wait for the officials in charge of this place to investigate the matter, and asked Li Jingxuan to be carried into Xiao Lingxiao's carriage, and then the group of people rushed back to the imperial city in a hurry.
There were guards who sent Xiao Huanyu and Xiao Huanxue back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, while Xiao Lingxiao's carriage was escorted by the Four Princes and came directly to the Six Princes' Mansion. When the carriage stopped in front of the door, there was already a royal doctor waiting here. After some hectic chaos, the imperial doctors finally checked Li Jingxuan's injuries clearly, and there was a lot of blood in the two wounds on his arm and abdomen.
After learning this, Xiao Lingxiao returned to the prime minister's mansion in the carriage, and the fourth prince did not stay after sending her back, and hurried to the palace to report the matter to the emperor.
By the time Xiao Lingxiao returned to Qinghe Courtyard, it was already dark. The old lady and the eldest lady both came to ask what happened, Xiao Lingxiao asked Bao Rong'er to answer them correctly, and she quickly went to change out of the bloodstained dress and wash off the smell of blood all over her body.
The begonia beside the eldest lady was driven out of Qinghe Courtyard by Bao Rong'er and hurriedly returned to the eldest lady's house, and when she entered the inner room, she heard the eldest lady scolding angrily, "She is the meat that fell from me, will I not feel distressed!" She's already like that, do you have to put yourself in it again! ”
"No matter what, she's my sister, and I won't let her be sent to that kind of hellish place to fend for herself!"
Haitang could hear that this was the voice of the third lady Xiao Huanxue, but Xiao Huanxue, who was usually always cold, seemed to be a lot more excited when she spoke today. Begonia is the personal maid of the eldest lady, she always knows the things in the house quickly, today the old lady came out, saying that she was going to send Xiao Huanyu, who was disfigured and paralyzed on the bed and a little crazy, to the countryside to recuperate, in fact, everyone knew that the old lady was afraid that Xiao Huanyu would damage the reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion and would throw her out.
In the room, Xiao Huanxue's porcelain doll-like face was already flushed, she glared and gritted her teeth and said to the eldest lady, "You are the prime minister's wife, you can't go against the old lady's will, but I am the one who will marry sooner or later, and I don't care about anything." Since she was able to leave the blind and dumb Xiao Lingxiao in the Prime Minister's Mansion at the beginning, why can't she leave Huanyu now! If she really speaks, mother, don't worry about anything, I'll reason with her! ”
As soon as she finished saying this, she saw the eldest lady step forward, raise her hand and slap her hard.
After beating Xiao Huanxue, the eldest lady used too much force, she hurriedly held her waist with one hand, pressed the edge of the table next to her with the other, and gasped for breath for a long time, then she glared at Xiao Huanxue again, and said angrily, "You have a long ability!" You are not from the Xiao family sooner or later! Do you know that if you take a wrong step now, you may regret it for the rest of your life! I raised your two daughters like babies, but look at what you do! I told you not to let you move that cheap girl, did you listen! At this point, you still told me that you are not the Xiao family sooner or later, you are not afraid! Good! If you're not afraid, go for it! Look what that old lady does to you! ”
After the eldest lady roared, she frowned again, and saw Xiao Huanxue covering her red and swollen cheeks, tears rolling in her eyes, she tried her best to suppress her anger, sat on the chair with difficulty, and continued for a long time, "The old lady is fine, she kept the blind and dumb Xiao Lingxiao at the beginning, and that was because Xiao Lingxiao was the daughter of the Lu family." Xiao Ranjun was taken away by your third cousin, do you think the old lady doesn't know why? She can only leave Xiao Lingxiao, she is blind and dumb is exactly what the old lady wants, the Prime Minister's Mansion doesn't care about raising a blind and dumb waste, but the daughter left by the old man's wife is not dispensable. ”
"Then Huanyu is dispensable!"
Xiao Huanxue is delicate and smart, and being slapped by the eldest lady is enough to calm her down. She endured tears and the burning pain on her face, and was still desperately trying to redeem Xiao Huanyu's inevitable fate.
The eldest lady sighed, "Although Huanyu is my own and your own sister, for the old lady and the Xiao family, she is a dispensable daughter." When she was good, the Xiao family was counting on your sisters to marry powerful forces for the Xiao family and consolidate the future situation of the Xiao family. Now she doesn't have this value anymore......" The eldest lady looked at Xiao Huanxue, "You are smarter than your sister, you must be able to figure out these things." After the old lady speaks, none of us will stop Huanyu, don't worry, my mother will send someone to take care of her. ”
At this point, Xiao Huanxue was completely desperate. She didn't say anything more, and turned and walked out of the room.
As soon as she went out, Xiao Huanxue saw the begonia cowering and hiding in the distance, her eyes became as cold as before, and she left slowly.
When Xiao Huanxue left, Begonia could breathe a sigh of relief. At this time, I heard the eldest lady in the inner room ask loudly, "It's Begonia back, right?" In. ”
Begonia hit a spirit, knowing that she was going to suffer again. She gritted her teeth and walked quickly into the inner room.
The eldest lady still had anger on her face, but she spoke very gently, "Did you ask clearly?" ”
Haitang nodded, "It was said that he was attacked by gangsters on the road, and His Royal Highness was seriously injured but saved his life, and he didn't find the third cousin, probably because he was kidnapped by gangsters." ”
The eldest lady frowned when she heard this, thinking that she had clearly confessed that she was going to kill that Xiao Fengming, why did they kidnap him? Could it be that they are eyeing Xiao Lingxiao's property?
Thinking of this, the eldest lady couldn't help but have a hint of foreboding. She was bent on dealing with Xiao Lingxiao, but she forgot that the huge amount of property in her hands now would also make people feel evil. Two million taels of silver can do a lot of things, but the eldest lady has already sent someone to investigate carefully, and in a short period of time, Xiao Fengming has squandered most of Xiao Lingxiao's two million taels of silver, and purchased a lot of properties, and no one knows how much is left.
Those people kidnapped Xiao Fengming because they wanted to know the whereabouts of the silver from his mouth.
The eldest lady frowned and let out a sigh of relief, finding that it was understandable for them to do this, and it was much better for them to have this money than to leave it in Xiao Lingxiao's hands, thinking about it this way, it was not bad.
If Xiao Fengming falls into their hands, he will definitely die, and if Xiao Lingxiao loses such a helper, he will definitely be in chaos. In addition, the few things lost in the palace are all related to Xiao Lingxiao and Xiao Fengming, so the arrangement of the eldest lady in the early stage is proper.
Thinking that Xiao Lingxiao would soon disappear from front of her eyes, the eldest lady's mood suddenly improved a lot. Supporting his bulky body, he stood up and said to Haitang, who hurriedly stepped forward to support him, "You take out my raccoon dog fur tomorrow and take care of it, as well as the sets of gorgeous clothes that I just sent back a few days ago." Then I went to the butler and asked him to fetch me a carriage to set up the padded blanket. ”
"Madame, you are ......"
"I'm going to the palace to visit my family."
"Visiting relatives in the palace?"
In the inner room of Qinghe Courtyard, Xiao Lingxiao was wiping her hair that was still dripping with a soft cloth while listening to Bao Rong'er tell her all the things she had whispered to the eldest lady's window.
When the eldest lady said about the pro, it should refer to Concubine Qi. Concubine Qi was originally a distant relative of the Qi family, and she was selected to be sent to the palace because she was beautiful, but she didn't expect to get the favor as soon as she entered the palace, and then gave birth to the eldest prince and the second prince for the emperor one after another. Now she is in the palace, although she is over forty years old and is only a concubine, the emperor still favors her well, and she can please the queen mother, so Qi Guifei's influence in the harem is even far above the queen. This is actually one of the reasons why the Qi family has been able to be stable for so many years. In addition, the eldest prince and the second prince have already married the big clan and have children, compared with the fourth prince and others, the two of them are more decent, and they have also received the support of many courtiers.
Xiao Lingxiao thought of the few things that flowed out of the palace, and she didn't know if the eldest lady had obtained those things with the help of Qi Guifei's strength, if this matter was really related to Qi Guifei, then what benefits could she get from it now?
wanted to know about the things in the harem, Xiao Lingxiao naturally thought of Xuan. Liao Xuan was hit hard by the word of the divine wolf last time, and he didn't say where he was going when he left. However, there is a god wolf, and Xiao Lingxiao is not afraid of not finding him. Xiao Lingxiao asked Bao Rong'er to go back to the room to rest, summoned the divine wolf by herself, and asked it to cast a spell to take her to see Xuan.
The divine wolf cast a spell, and in the blink of an eye, Xiao Lingxiao appeared in a meditation room.
Although it was already late at night, Liao Xuan was still reading by candle, he only felt a strange breath suddenly coming, and as soon as he looked up, he saw Xiao Lingxiao, who had been thinking about him.
Xiao Lingxiao's black hair was not dried, it was scattered obediently, and she was only wearing simple clothes, although it was not exposed, but it was completely different from the appearance of being dressed in gorgeous clothes on weekdays. Xuan Xuan looked at her out of thin air in a daze, almost forgetting to breathe.
"Ling...... Ling Xiao? ”
Xiao Lingxiao walked to the table with a smile and said softly, "You're back to Fali Temple." Fortunately, you haven't slept yet, are you reading? ”
Xuan Wenyan hurriedly put down the book in his hand, got up and came to Xiao Lingxiao's side, and looked at her again, Xuan Xuan has seen many boudoir women, especially those rich ladies, how can one of them appear in front of men so raunchy?
The thin clothes made Xiao Lingxiao's figure fully revealed, although her body was still so petite, it looked plump than when she fell in front of the Fali Temple. The placket of the slanted dress outlined the lines of her snow-white neck and chest, and between the undulations of her breathing, the uneven places loomed......
When Xuan came back to his senses, he found that the meditation room had fallen into silence for a while. He suddenly became nervous inexplicably, and said, "I heard that Feng Ming has returned to the land of the wolf clan. Ling Xiao: You're here for this, right? ”
Xiao Lingxiao smiled bitterly and shook her head, thinking in her heart that she should pay more attention to her image in the future, so as not to scare this monk like this again......
