Chapter 315: Each according to his ability
Mu Xinping was told that she was in her heart, and she was annoyed in her heart, so she slapped her again and mocked: "Don't mention anything to me about deep feelings, do people like you really believe in feelings?" You just treat Hou Ye as a pawn in your hand, at your mercy, through him to get the honorary status you want and help your brother stepping stones, you are not worthy of feelings! ”
Lu put down his hand, stared straight at Mu Xinping, and smiled, "What qualifications do you have to say about me?" Do you really believe in feelings? You are just a tool used by the old lady to deal with me, and you yourself know this, which is why you are trying to take my place, and you are just trying to find a security for yourself! ”
Mu Xinping laughed and said: "Since everything has been said, then there is no need to act with you, there is an endless competition between us, and there will never be any possibility of reconciliation, so let's rely on our abilities and see who can have the last laugh!" ”
"Very good, this is what I want to say, you look at it, within a month, Bai Shizu will definitely come to see me, you have to hurry up and fix your pet, don't let me have a chance to go out, then you won't have a chance!" Lu smiled very confidently, she was still confident in dealing with Mu Xinping, a fledgling girl.
She has been living in the cruel struggle of the back house since she can remember, how can she be compared to a woman from a small family like Mu Xinping?
Mu Xinping glared at her coldly before saying, "You better think about it behind closed doors, you must know that Jun En is like flowing water, and he doesn't look back in a hurry!" ”
After speaking, he didn't bother to pay attention to the Lu family, but said to the people in the courtyard: "Listen carefully to me, starting today, Ning Xiangyuan will be closed to thank guests, unless there is Mrs. Ben's consent, no one is allowed to visit her, and Aunt Lu is not allowed to leave the courtyard for half a step, if anyone dares not to listen to me, there is no need to continue to stay in the Hou Mansion!" ”
The subordinates lowered their heads one after another, and no one dared to look at Mu Xinping's expression, only Yingqiu quietly glanced at Mu Xinping, hating her very much.
If the Lu family didn't have the opportunity to see Bai Shizu, she would never have a chance, her youth was very short, did she have to accompany the Lu family to stay up in this small courtyard until the end of the day?
After Mu Xinping was full of prestige, she left Ningxiangyuan with her head held high. She must try to keep the Lu family in the courtyard as much as possible, the longer it will be beneficial to her.
Glancing down at his abdomen, he kept begging to get a child. She is still young and has been for a long time, but the Lu family is getting old day by day, she will definitely be the final victor!
When the news of Lu's grounding reached Jinlan Yuan, Bai Muhibiscus just smiled slightly and said: "Mu Xinping is not too stupid, she knows that she can fight for the opportunity of one day at a time, now that her father has no concubine, she can make herself pregnant with a child as much as possible, as long as she has a child, she has the capital to compete with the Lu family!" ”
"Well, but the Lu family is really grounded, can Master Hou still think of her?" The mandarin duck asked puzzledly, what the young lady meant was that she didn't want either of the two of them to become bigger, so if the Lu family collapsed, Mu Xinping would become a new enemy.
Bai Mujin smiled and said, "If the Lu family doesn't even have this ability, then her end will come, why worry about me?" ”
"Then the Mu family is the only one, isn't Miss afraid that she will have crooked thoughts when the time comes?" The mandarin duck asked puzzled.
Bai Mu Hibiscus smiled and said, "How come? In the future, the backyard of the Hou Mansion will become more and more lively, but there will be no time when one family is dominant! ”
The mandarin duck opened her mouth and said suddenly, "Miss is planning to let Yingqiu out of the cage?" ”
"Huh...... You can't look at such a delicate beauty, dying by Lu Ningxiang's side, right? I pity your young lady very much, and I believe that my father is the same! Bai Hibiscus smiled very wisely.
The mandarin duck nodded, but said with some embarrassment: "But...... She is now locked up in Ningxiang Garden with the Lu family, how can she have a chance? ”
"Mu Xinping only banned Lu's feet, and didn't ban Yingqiu's feet, Lu's diet and daily life always have her to Zhang Luo, let Caiping communicate with her and communicate her feelings, when she was in Fuluyuan, she had a very good relationship with Caiping!" Bai Mu Hibiscus said with a smile.
The magpie ran in from outside with a smile and said, "Miss, the lord of Tinglan has sent someone to give you a post, inviting you to ride a horse and hunt in the paddock in five days!" ”
Bai Hibiscus's eyes narrowed, did he come so soon? She asked, "What about ...... What about the second lady? ”
"Didn't receive a dedicated post, though...... This invitation specifically states that you must invite the second miss to participate together, saying that many noble ladies will participate, but you can't miss Miss Bai Er! The magpie laughed sheepishly.
Bai Mujin nodded and said, "Okay, tell the second lady the good news, remember...... Get her ready for riding! ”
Hunting on horseback? It's more harmful than setting up a banquet, and the county lord of Tinglan really knows this well. The magpie happily ran down again with the invitation.
The mandarin duck smiled: "This girl is always so giggling, not stable at all!" ”
"It's enough to have you steady, the two of you are still and moving, complementing each other!" Mama Rui laughed on the side.
After Bai Yunxi got the news, she didn't suspect anything at all, but was very happy, she was always afraid that after she became a concubine, she would gradually be forgotten by the circle of nobles, but she didn't expect that at this time, the county lord of Tinglan actually invited her to go horseback riding together, so that she immediately dispelled all her doubts.
Therefore, the magpies who came to deliver the news were all kind, and they also specially rewarded the magpies with a few broken silver, so that she could help her say more good things in front of Bai Mujian.
The magpie naturally responded generously, and gave the silver to Xiaolan when she got out of the yard, she didn't look down on Bai Yunxi's little favor.
Let's say that since the Lu family was grounded, she has been extremely depressed every day, and the people are used to praising the high and the low, and many people in her yard have been replaced by Mu Xinping, please leave, and the only confidants are Yingqiu, Nuan Dong and Mama Du.
Yingqiu came over from the big kitchen and said with a look of indignation: "It's so hateful, these dead minions, Madame wants to use bird's nest, and they actually give you such scraps." In the past, Mrs. gained power and gave them many benefits, but now she doesn't miss any kindness at all! ”
Lu Shi sighed, his eyes were red, and he said: "What's the big deal, people are like this, with red and white, just get used to it!" There will always be times when they regret it! ”
Yingqiu pouted, brought the bird's nest over, and still said unwillingly: "In the past, the lady was in charge of the house, and she never treated the Mu family harshly, but now she is so mean, she is really a villain!" ”
"Okay, don't talk about it, and make Madame sad again!" Mama Du hurriedly stopped Yingqiu from continuing to attack.
Yingqiu also closed her mouth in amusement, and said after a while: "Mama Du, why don't you ...... I went to Fulu Yuan to look for Caiping, and I heard that she was still waiting there, and sent a message to Hou Ye, so that Hou Ye could think of our wife! ”
Mama Du's eyes flashed a fierce color, but she covered it up well, and before she could speak, Lu hurriedly said: "Okay, you go quickly, you must go out as soon as possible, otherwise Mu Xinping will be pregnant, and we will be passive!" ”
Yingqiu lowered her eyes and said, "Yes, the slave will do it, sooner or later it will make the Hou Ye change his mind!" ”
Lu waved his hand and sent her away, and drank the bowl of bird's nest that was not considered bird's nest, but was disturbed by the taste of light water.
"Sooner or later, I'll let Mu know how good I am, and if I really take myself as a person, I'll be rampant!"
Mama Du sighed and said, "Madam, what do you think of Yingqiu?" ”
"What's wrong? Did she also have a heart of betrayal? "The Lu clan can be regarded as a soldier now.
Mama Du shook her head, but said with a smile: "If you want to make Master Hou change his mind, the slave has a good way, it depends on whether you can give it up!" ”
"How?" Lu asked in surprise.
Mama Du pointed to the place where Yingqiu left and said, "Yingqiu is already twenty years old, haven't you thought about it, should you also match her with a home?" ”
Lu is a smart person, so he naturally understood what Mama Du meant, but he shook his head resolutely and said, "No, Yingqiu is my most trusted girl, if she becomes the concubine of the Hou Ye, then she will definitely give birth to two hearts!" ”
Mama Du shook her head and said, "It's already the grace of the lady to let her have a room, don't think about the location of the concubine's room, as long as you leave people in your room, isn't it at your mercy?" In this way, Hou Ye can often come to Ning Xiang Yuan, come and go, you and Hou Ye will have to rebuild the old sooner or later! ”
Lu Shi thought about it carefully, but still shook his head, and said: "Mama, once this person has selfish intentions, he can't pull back the nine cows, and now I have the three of you by my side, and if I lose Yingqiu, it will be difficult!" ”
Mama Du sighed, and said: "Since Madame is unwilling, then arrange another family affair for Yingqiu as soon as possible, Steward Luo's daughter-in-law was gone last year, it is better to let Yingqiu go and make a continuation for him, so it can be regarded as a good opportunity to win over the people around Hou Ye!" ”
When Lu Shi heard this method, he relaxed his brows slightly, and after thinking about it carefully, he also felt that it made sense, and said, "It's just ...... Yingqiu, is she willing? Steward Luo's age is not young! ”
"Can a slave or maid still have his own ideas? It's not a matter of Madame's words, according to the slave maid, Steward Luo is a good match, although he is older, but he is the most powerful person around Hou Ye, with him in front of Hou Ye, why should Mrs. worry about fighting Mu Shi? Mama Du didn't dare to say what she thought, but she didn't want Yingqiu to become a sword in someone else's hand.
Lu nodded, and felt very reasonable, and said: "Then when she comes back, Mama will go to find out her tone first, if she has her own intentions, then it is naturally best, if she doesn't have that mind...... You just persuade her, after all, we are struggling now, and we have to think of a way forward! ”
Mama Du hurriedly responded, to save Yingqiu's life, and to let her not have the heart of betraying the master, there is only such a way, she has followed the Lu family for so long, she knows her best, she can't rub the sand in her eyes, how can she tolerate the girl next to her to become the concubine of the Hou Ye? Even having sex is something she can't tolerate.
