Chapter 161: The Protector's Mansion is gracious, but it is suspicious of old entanglements
Ling Qingrui couldn't help but be stunned when she looked at the silk and satin, jewelry, pearls and jade and other items in the courtyard, although Chu Xue had said that the Protector Mansion had sent a lot of things, she didn't expect that there would be so many, and almost everything was something that women would like, not to mention, almost all of them were precious and abnormal, no wonder Chu Xue looked surprised when she said it.
Seeing Ling Qingrui come out, a woman dressed as a grandmother stepped forward and saluted, "The slave has seen Miss Rui." The slave maid was ordered by the Duchess and the prince to come to send some thank-you gifts, and Miss Xie Rui saved the son of the world several times, and asked Miss Rui not to refuse. ”
A little thank-you? Chu Xue behind Ling Qingrui heard this, and then looked at the items that were about to fill the yard, and secretly gasped, so it was still a little, so how much would it be a heavy gift?
Chu Xue was surprised, but Ling Qingrui had already recovered her indifferent face after the surprise just now, at this time she looked at this grandmother, and asked softly, "I don't know what this grandmother is called?" ”
The grandmother smiled and said, "Miss Lauri asked, the slave's maid's maid's surname is Zhuo." ”
Ling Qingrui nodded and said: "In this way, Mama Lao Zhuo has returned to the Duchess of the Kingdom, thank you for the love of the Duchess and the prince, but it was just a timely meeting at that time, even if I don't take action, I will definitely be safe and sound in the next life." The so-called merit is not rewarding, I really can't afford to be so loved by the Duchess of the Kingdom, please ask Mama Zhuo to bring these items back. ”
The words were neither humble nor arrogant, and there was no trace of greed in the face of so many precious items, except for the initial surprise, and then her face was indifferent as if these things did not exist, and she could refuse so simply, it can be seen that she really did not want to take these items as her own, and Mama Zhuo looked at it and nodded secretly.
This Mama Zhuo was actually serving by the Duchess of the Protector's side, and this time she was also instructed by the Duchess of the Protector to send these thank-you gifts, and the other was to secretly see what the character of this Miss Rui was.
If she sees so many treasures like an ordinary woman, she is rude and even shows a greedy look, I am afraid that although the Duchess of the Protectorate will do what the prince says on the surface, she will definitely not like it in her heart, so she can only maintain a superficial relationship.
But at this time, it seems that this Miss Rui is really good.
At that moment, Mama Zhuo smiled and said: "Miss Rui is too humble, but the prince said that if it weren't for Miss Rui's presence, the prince might not know what would have happened, and his body would not be so fast, these thank-you gifts are what Miss Rui deserves." ”
After finishing speaking, Mama Zhuo saw that Ling Qingrui insisted on not accepting it, and said: "This time, I haven't had time to visit Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu, even if Miss Rui doesn't accept these thank-you gifts, she should choose a few lovely items for the old lady and Mrs. Rui, so that the slave and maid can go back and explain to the Duchess of the country, and ask Miss Rui to be sympathetic to the slave and maid, and the slave and maid have thanked Miss Rui here." ”
Speaking of which, when it comes to this, if Ling Qingrui insists on not wanting anything more, it will be a little unkind and unrelievable.
Although she was puzzled about why the Protector Mansion was so gracious, Ling Qingrui still thanked Mama Zhuo, her eyes swept slightly from the pile of treasures, and finally selected a piece of warm jade that warmed her body and a set of head noodles.
At this time, Mama Zhuo, who was watching, nodded quietly again, she could see that the piece of warm jade was to be given to Mrs. Liu, and the style of the head face and the patterns carved on it were not something that the teenage daughter's family could hold, and the head face should be given to Mrs. Liu.
Although I heard that Mrs. Liu was corrected, but looking at Miss Rui's actions, there was not the slightest rudeness because the other party was a concubine, which shows that Miss Rui's character and temperament are very good.
Although Mama Zhuo did not complete the entrustment of the son, she still happily returned to the Protectorate Mansion with the rest of her belongings.
In fact, according to the idea of Ye Zhanli, it is to let the Duchess of the Protector come to the door directly, it is the Duchess of the Protector who said that they did not have much contact with the Liufu before, if she goes to the door all of a sudden, I am afraid that Miss Rui will be shocked, and the Protector Mansion is so active, in case the Liufu thinks that the Protector Mansion has other plans, so it categorically refuses, wouldn't it be worth the loss?
What's more, the Protector Mansion is so connected to the Liufu, I am afraid that there are many critics in the government and the opposition, although the Protector Mansion is not afraid, but the Liufu who has just returned to the capital, how should he deal with himself? Implicated in the entire Liufu, I'm afraid Miss Rui won't be happy......
In this way, the Duchess of Huguo persuaded Ye Zhanli to give up this idea, and instead sent a thank you gift to Ling Qingrui, when she heard that Ling Qingrui insisted on not accepting it and sent things back, Ye Zhanli was naturally annoyed, and went back to the room with his sleeves.
The Duchess of the Protector originally thought that Ye Zhanli was angry because Ling Qingrui didn't know how to lift, but who knew that Zuo Leyu was expecting Ai Ai to say that the prince was disgusted with the Protector's Mansion and only sent a few thank-you gifts, and he was annoyed by not having enough sincerity, which immediately made the Duchess of the Protector laugh.
Zuo Leyu also secretly slandered, such a rich thank you gift was also said by the prince of the world, is the prince going to move the entire things of the Protectorate Mansion to the Liufu Mansion?
Not to mention the matter of the Protector's Mansion here, Ling Qingrui also received a thank you gift sent by Jing Mofeng a few hours later, which made Ling Qingrui feel a little inexplicable for a while, last time Ling Qingrui happened to be assassinated by Jing Mofeng, and it was regarded as a helping hand to save him, and then Jing Mofeng had already thanked him, and yesterday it was obviously Jing Mofeng who helped him at the risk of offending the third prince, why did Jing Mofeng send a thank you gift?
After the person sent by Jing Mofeng, that is, Li Xin, explained, Ling Qingrui realized that it was originally for Chu Yan.
The last time Jing Mofeng was assassinated, Chu Yan was seriously injured and returned, if it weren't for Ling Qingrui's rescue, I'm afraid that even if Chu Yan recovered from his injury, his wrist would have been abolished, but at this time, it was no big problem, Jing Mofeng This is a thank you gift sent on behalf of Chu Yan.
Seeing that what Jing Mofeng sent was herbs and the like, Ling Qingrui no longer shirked and accepted this thank-you gift, and then Ling Qingrui took an ice blue robe and handed it to Li Xin for him to take back to Jing Mofeng, after all, he said in front of the three princes yesterday that he was buying clothes for Jing Mofeng, if Jing Mofeng didn't wear them once or twice, I was afraid that he would arouse the suspicion of the three princes again.
However, at this time, this robe is no longer the one from yesterday, the ice blue robe is Lingxiao, how can you give Jing Mofeng again? This is disrespectful to these two people. The one that Li Xin asked Li Xin to bring back was Ling Qingrui's order to send a letter to Uncle Jiang overnight, and Uncle Jiang had just sent someone to send it.
At the same time as sending this robe, Uncle Jiang also sent another piece of news, which made Ling Qingrui a little surprised, one was surprised by the rapid development of the forces around Uncle Jiang, she just handed over this matter to Uncle Jiang yesterday, Uncle Jiang had already investigated it all today, and the other was the news itself.
The news sent by Uncle Jiang said that it turned out that the wife of the auxiliary general, Tang Muning's mother, had an entanglement with Ling Qingrui's biological mother that was unknown to outsiders.
The maiden name of the wife of the auxiliary general is Wei, this Miss Wei was also a talented and outstanding person when she was young, and she did not know Ling Qingrui's mother Mo Chuyun, but she resented because of a slightly ridiculous thing.
Miss Wei was only thirteen years old at the time, she was also young and naughty, she disguised herself as a man to go to the lantern festival, but she was kidnapped by thieves, just when Ling Qingcang passed by, Ling Qingcang's young martial arts were not weak, and she repelled the thieves and saved Miss Wei.
After returning home, Miss Wei shyly and tactfully told her mother what she thought, originally intending to ask her mother to find someone to go to the Ling family to say goodbye, but her mother did not like the Ling family, but instead took a fancy to the son of the Tang family, that is, the current auxiliary general Tang Liechen, but she couldn't bear the bitter request of her own daughter, so she had to agree.
Ling Qingcang's mother, Mrs. Ling Fu, also liked the gentleness of this young lady after meeting Miss Wei, but she was not yet inconvenient to discuss with her, and only exchanged tokens to be regarded as having an agreement, and Ling Qingcang, who had traveled abroad, did not know about this matter.
It was a good thing, but they didn't want Ling Qingcang to take his grandmother back to the house, and the grandmother brought back a woman, and everyone learned that when the old lady was still alive, they set a marriage contract for Ling Qingcang, but the woman's family was so bad that only this woman was left.
And this woman is also arrogant, although she is down-and-out but refuses to accept help from others, but to make a living on her own, if it is not for Mrs. Ling to speak, she will not come to fulfill the marriage contract at all, this time she also made up her mind, do not want to become a burden to Ling Fu, and Ling Fu will become a laughing stock of the world, and come to return the marriage contract with Ling Fu.
In the face of such an arrogant woman, Ling Qingcang not only refused to withdraw from the marriage, but insisted on marrying this woman as his wife, this woman should not, this Ling Qingcang actually insisted on following her back to her hometown, guarding her for four consecutive years, Ling Fu was helpless and this woman was also moved by her persistence and sincerity, and finally agreed to marry Ling Qingcang, this daughter is Ling Qingrui's biological mother Mo Chuyun.
Miss Wei's side was like a dream, and it finally became a void, and the Wei family was extremely annoyed by a serious illness, but only Wei Ling's family knew about this matter at that time, and if it was spread out, it would ruin Miss Wei's reputation, so after the Ling Mansion made compensation, this matter was suppressed by the two families together.
Since then, no one knows the reason, only that Miss Wei later married Tang Liechen, and her husband and daughter are harmonious, as if she has never known Ling Qingcang, and as if she is not familiar with Mo Chuyun, no one knows that Miss Wei back then, and now the wife of the auxiliary general does not hate Ling Qingcang, who broke the contract, but deeply hates Mo Chuyun.
It's just that although Uncle Jiang's news tells the inside story that few people know, Ling Qingrui still can't understand the horror of the wife of the auxiliary general at that time after seeing her.
Stunned and surprised, maybe because Ling Qingrui looked very good at her mother, the wife of the general of the auxiliary country probably didn't expect to see this face again many years later, but where did her horror come from, was it just because she knew that Mo Chuyun had been dead for many years?
Ling Qingrui was puzzled, but she also knew that this matter was in a hurry, so she could only slowly explore and investigate, what was in front of her was what she needed to plan carefully, Ling Qingrui's lips slowly hooked up a faint smile with a hint of coldness.
