Chapter Twenty-Four: Lord Rui Arrives
Although the grandfather's family has long been out of contact, the Xu family is too hateful.
"Shen, why didn't you say it at that time?" The old lady asked, her face full of anxiety.
Aunt Shen sighed slightly and said, "At that time, wasn't everyone quite happy? didn't say anything, but the old lady rest assured, after my father's people received the news, they sent someone to arrange the aftermath of the Qin family, and moreover, the people of the Qin family's own family also intervened, thinking about it, the murderer will be found soon. ”
"That's good." The old lady felt sorry for the Qin family in her heart and planned to recite scriptures for them for a hundred days.
"Second lady, about my mother's dowry, I hope you will hand it over to me as soon as possible." Guan Lingyue said expressionlessly, then pulled the corners of her mouth at the old lady, smiled reluctantly and said, "Grandmother, granddaughter county retreated." ”
The old lady thought that Guan Lingyue couldn't stand the destruction of her grandfather's house, so she glanced at her with some concern, "Lingyue, go back and rest well, if there is anything, just send someone over." ”
"Yes."
At night, a dark shadow silently entered the Hibiscus Garden, and left within a quarter of an hour.
The next day, Xu found that all the things in the jewelry box were gone, with a gloomy face and anger exuding from her body, but she was destined to suffer this dumb loss, because most of those jewelry were the jewelry in Qin Ruwan's dowry.
"Madam, what are you going to do now?" Regarding Guan Lingyue's desire for Xu's dowry, Mama Wan also knew, but she also knew that those dowries were passive not long after the fourth lady was born, if it weren't for the fact that the Splendid Pavilion was in Kyoto, she wouldn't have done it now, but she didn't expect that she was caught off guard as soon as she started.
Xu gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "She wants it, and she wants to see if she has this life." ”
Although Xu's calculations were good, it was a pity that Guan Lingyue did not play cards according to common sense, and early the next morning, Rui Wang Ye and Jun Yulan appeared in Zuo Xiangfu.
"Lord Wang, sit down." Guan Pingxian said to the subordinates on the side again: "Go and invite the third young lady, just say that Prince Rui is here." "I don't know, what happened to this Rui King's sudden arrival in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
When he went down to court today, King Rui actually took the initiative to come over to talk to him, and asked to go back to the house together, is it possible, this King Rui is really interested in Lingyue, if this is the case, then he will treat that girl better.
Jun Yulan took a sip of the teacup, last night, that girl actually broke into the Rui Wang's Mansion alone, and came to his study unharmed, what a good little girl!
The prince came to the house, as the head of the house, of course the Xu family was going to come out. The Xu family came, of course Aunt Shen was also coming, but Aunt Luo and Aunt Bai didn't come, but Aunt Qian, with the support of the maid, she also had her own careful thoughts.
Guan Lingyue was not surprised at all when she knew that Jun Yulan was coming, because she asked him to come, today, it is good for the Xu family to give this dowry, if she doesn't give it, she will have to suffer a little, after all, always thinking about things that don't belong to you has to pay a price.
As soon as she entered the hall, Guan Lingyue saluted everyone one by one, and Guan Pingxian was very satisfied, this is what Miss Xiangfu should look like!
"Come here." Jun Yulan said coldly.
Guan Lingyue turned her back to everyone and rolled her eyes at Jun Yulan, but said, "Lord Wang, why are you here today?" ”
Jun Yulan raised her eyebrows, didn't say anything, and glanced at the Xu family, it was this woman who dared to swallow her mother-in-law's dowry, it was simply a gall!
Thinking of the information from the investigation, his eyes were cold, and it seemed that it was time for the General's Mansion to clean up.
Xu Shi looked at the gloomy Rui Wangye, he didn't know what was wrong, he had a feeling of being targeted, his heart was furious, and he moved his body slightly, trying to avoid the terrifying gaze.
"This king is here today, and there is nothing important, that is, this king received news yesterday that the shopkeeper of the Splendid Pavilion is forced to buy and sell, this matter should not need to be dealt with by the king, but it's just that the Splendid Pavilion belongs to the Prime Minister's Mansion, that is, the shop in my mother-in-law's dowry, so the king had to come to the door to ask, I don't know, what did the Prime Minister say?"
Guan Pingxian was stunned for a moment, he didn't know what Jun Yulan was talking about, but seeing that the other party's face was not very good, he hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, the lower officials don't understand what the prince means, in fact, everything in the family is managed by insiders, so." ”
Guan Lingyue looked at Guan Pingxian's cowardice, and said with a smile: "Lord Wang, my father is only dedicated to the Great Yuan Dynasty, and everything in this family is really managed by the second lady, maybe she was negligent some time ago." ”
"Really?" Jun Yulan looked at Xu with a puzzled face.
Xu's body trembled, and he said calmly: "Back to the prince, it is the negligence of the courtiers, and it has nothing to do with Xiangye, but what happened in the Splendid Pavilion recently, the courtiers are not clear, and the courtiers have not been to the shop for more than a month." ”
"Since this is the case, it is that this king has misunderstood Xiangye." Jun Yulan said, but there was no apology on his face.
"No, it's all the minister's fault, and the prince who harmed him ran for nothing." Guan Pingxian hurriedly said, his body still bent over.
Jun Yulan looked at Guan Lingyue, the corners of her mouth hooked slightly, "How can it be regarded as a trip for nothing, you say yes, Lingyue?" ”
Guan Lingyue smiled and said, "How could it be a trip for nothing." Looking at Xu with smiling eyes, Xu only felt a chill behind him, "By the way, it just so happens that the prince is here, so be a witness, yesterday the second lady said that she plans to hand over my mother's dowry to me today." If the prince gave me the mansion before, I was afraid that I would not be able to manage it well, so I would try my hand with those dowries. Then his eyes winked twice at Jun Yulan.
Xu secretly hated, damn little slut, why didn't she let go of those dowries, and when did she say that she would return the dowry today. Xu Shi looked at Guan Lingyue's back and gritted his teeth and thought.
"Well, the things in the palace are all valuable things, and Lingyue should learn how to take care of these things." Jun Yulan said lightly, her eyes looking straight at Guan Lingyue and the Xu family behind her.
Hmph, is he really dead? His girl is good at everything, and besides, those dowries were originally from his family.
Guan Pingxian's brain was finally smart, and he understood that this Rui Wang Ye came to the door today to support his third daughter Lingyue, in order to give the dowry left by Ru Wan, thinking like this, his back straightened instantly, and he said to Xu: "Xu, those dowries are going to be given to Lingyue sooner or later, now you can give those things to Lingyue." ”
Xu was embarrassed, to be more precise, he was scared and angry, and he didn't know what to do at all, especially when King Narui looked at her with his cold eyes, "This, this dowry, actually, actually." ”
Aunt Qian looked at Xu's appearance, she was very happy in her heart, thinking of what she heard in the garden this morning, she stood up with a smile and said, "Lord Rui, the concubine heard a news, I don't know if it's true?" ”
Jun Yulan glanced at her coldly, and didn't speak, but Guan Pingxian frowned, a little angry, a pregnant aunt, not good at raising a baby in the backyard, what did she do in the front yard, "Do you have a part to talk here?" "I usually look very sensible, but how can I make a mess at a critical moment.
Aunt Qianniang looked at Guan Pingxian with an aggrieved face and said, "Xiangye, the concubine doesn't want you to be hidden in the dark!" The concubine is all for the sake of the prime minister, if the news that the concubine hears is true, then, what can I do! ”
Looking at Aunt Qian's pear blossom with rain, Guan Pingxian couldn't bear it, and Xu secretly scolded Qian's vixen.
Guan Lingyue guessed something, Aunt Qian said that she heard it, but there are only a few places where she stays in the whole person, even the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion does not go out very often, and the people in this Prime Minister's Mansion are either Xu's or Aunt Shen's, and the one who can let her hear the news is no one else except the two of them, presumably, this one was planned by Aunt Shen.
Sure enough, she saw Aunt Shen's slightly hooked lips and the gloating eyes that looked at Xu.
Since it is not good for the Xu family, why does Guan Lingyue have to help Aunt Qianniang speak out, so she frowned and said, "Aunt Qian, what did you hear?" ”
Aunt Qian's face was sad, and she sighed and said: "The concubine heard that the maid in the second lady's courtyard said that the second lady had already moved the dowry left by the eldest lady, and even some of them had been sold, and the rest of her hand was from Kyoto." This, Third Miss, tell me, if this thing is true, if it spreads, can our Prime Minister still have a good reputation? ”
Since you know that you can't spread it, why do you say it when King Rui is there! The Xu family was already a little crazy, and they couldn't wait to seal Aunt Qian's mouth.
Guan Lingyue covered her mouth in surprise, of course, she was pretending, she already knew the truth at Jun Yulan's side last night, she really didn't expect that Xu's courage would be so big.
Perhaps, the Xu family has already saved the idea of disposing of her, after all, as long as she is dead, no one will mention her mother's dowry anymore, and naturally, those dowries will become Xu's bag.
Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in her eyes, "Aunt Qian, you can't talk nonsense!" Lord Rui is still here. ”
Aunt Qianniang said with some grievances: "The concubine is all for the good of the house!" ”
Xu was shocked in his heart, although what Aunt Qian's words were true, but where did she hear it, in the Hibiscus Garden? How is it possible, except for herself, only Mama Wan knows about this matter, even Yan'er doesn't know, Mama Wan is her own grandmother, and she will not betray herself, so where did this Qianshi hear it.
"This, this." The sweat on Guan Pingxian's forehead was about to fall, because he never cared about the affairs of the backyard, so now he was very surprised and panicked, Qin Ruwan really liked it at the beginning, otherwise he would not have married the other party into the door, but for the Xu family, when she was young, she was more enthusiastic than Ruwan, so she came together with the other party.
However, he never thought that the other party would do such a thing, coveting the dowry left by the previous one, if this matter spreads, as the Qian family said, the reputation of this prime minister's house will be ruined.
