Chapter 123: Gossip

readx;? After Ruan Tianhao left, Manqi was left alone thinking about it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Lian'er walked in quietly, brought her the fruit of the afternoon, and walked out quietly. Manqi thought about her own thoughts, and didn't pay attention for a while. However, when the citrus was almost eaten, Manqi realized that today's citrus is extremely sweet and has a lot of moisture. Thinking that Tianhao likes to eat on weekdays, Manqi was ready to wait for Lian'er to come in again, and told her to prepare more.

In normal times, the girl was always around her, chirping, like a little lark. However, today is a little abnormal, she didn't pay attention to it, and when she thinks about it, she feels that there is no girl around to speak, and it is really a little quiet.

"Lian'er!" Manqi shouted. At this time, Ruan Tianhao was not in the house, she was somewhat lonely and didn't know who to talk to. Now that they are married, Tianhao's house has also moved from the side courtyard to the main courtyard. The main courtyard was spacious and crowded, and her loneliness remained.

For some reason, she was not very willing to get close to Tianhao's biological mother, Sun. Although there is not much contact, in his speech and demeanor, Sun always gives people a sense of harshness and top-notch everywhere. In front of her, Sun is not like her mother at all, she is stammering her everywhere, making her extremely unnatural.

In just a few days after coming to Ruan's Mansion, on the surface, she likes Jiang's temperament. As a wife, she is not shocked by the humiliation, and she always speaks slowly, which makes people feel comfortable to listen to. However, even if Tianhao didn't say it, she knew that in such a mansion, for the sake of Tianhao's face, she shouldn't be too intimate with the Jiang family.

As for the eldest brother's fiancΓ©e, Qingran has a cold temperament, and always gives people a feeling of rejection from thousands of miles away. What's more, Tianhao has not been on good terms with her eldest brother for a long time, and she doesn't want to be closer. The rest are the maidservants, the old mothers, and the like, and there is nothing to say. Therefore, although it has only been in Ruan's Mansion for a few days, except for Tianhao and Lian'er, she basically doesn't talk much.

Hearing her voice, Lian'er, who had been standing outside the door, walked in, and she caught a glimpse of the citrus on the table that was almost eaten, so she said, "Lord of the county, the slave maid will bring you some citrus again!"

Manqi looked at her unusually quiet, and asked with concern: "Lian'er, why are you weird today?

Lian'er raised her head and glanced at her quickly, then quickly lowered her head and said, "It's nothing, don't worry about it." The slave and maid went down first. ”

The more she was like this, the more worried Manqi became, and said, "Lian'er, look up at me!" Looking at Lian'er's eyes, which were full of worry, she asked, "But there is someone in Ruan's Mansion who is embarrassing you?"

Lian'er hurriedly shook her head: "No, no, Lord Lao is worried, Lian'er is very good." ”

"Lian'er, it's okay for you to say something. Manqi was relieved, "Even if this is not in the palace, if someone bullies you, just tell me, and I will definitely be the master for you!"

Lian'er has been by her side since she was a child, and when her mother died, she cried sadly all day and night. Daddy had no way to take her, so he had to give her more generous materially. At one time, she had as many jewels around her as she would have been in a palace.

But for a child of a few years old, how can these cold things outside the body replace the warmth of his mother's side? Father was helpless by her almost constant tears, so he promised the people of the house that if anyone could make the little lord smile again, he would reward him with a hundred taels of gold.

During that time, the people in the house told jokes and clowns in front of her, racking their brains, but it was useless. One day, she and her father went to the house of the court and the central government as a guest, and at first she was reluctant to go with her, but at that time, her father was not at ease to leave her alone in the palace no matter what. Later, half-coaxing and half-deceiving, she went with her father. It was also that time that she met Lian'er.

When she first arrived in an unfamiliar environment, she was naturally uncomfortable in every way. Daddy talked to the man about government affairs, and when she was bored, she went to the back garden alone. In a corner of the back garden, I saw a little girl of the same age picking up fallen petals.

She stood there and watched for a long time, and the little girl in front of her was completely unaware, and then a woman came and called the little girl away in a hurry.

When she returned to her father, she told him about it, and the official, who was bent on scolding him, thought that the little girl had offended her, and ordered the little girl to be brought over and punished by her.

Later, she learned that Lian'er was originally the youngest daughter of the cook in the official's family, and she went to the corner of the back garden on weekdays to pick up flower petals alone, and then brought them back to make sachets for her mother. When Lian'er was brought over, she was frightened, struggling desperately, crying desperately, which looked really unbearable.

The official shouted at Lian'er and threatened to severely punish her and her mother, so frightened that Lian'er suddenly didn't dare to speak. She looked at Lian'er and told the official that she liked Lian'er and wanted to take her back to the mansion as a companion.

This is the first time she has made a request since her mother's death, and her father will naturally not distract her from her thoughts. Ben is also a subordinate, and the official readily agreed. Later, she brought Lian'er and her mother back to the house, and she also knew that at the beginning, Lian'er's name was "Li'er".

Later, as she grew older, she felt that "Lian'er" was not good, so she changed her name to "Lian'er". Lian'er's mother has been staying in the mansion to take care of her food, clothing and daily life, and do her best. On the eve of her marriage, she asked Lian'er Niang to leave the house and rewarded her with gold and silver for the elderly.

Speaking of which, Lian'er has been by her side all these years, which can be described as conscientious and dedicated. If there was no Lian'er, she didn't know how lonely she would be and how cold her temperament would be.

Therefore, no matter where she goes, Manqi will never allow anyone to bully Lian'er under her nose!

Lian'er saw that Manqi was worried about herself, so she couldn't help it anymore, put down the plate, took her hand, and said indignantly: "County master, the slave is not for yourself, the slave is for you!"

"For me?" Manqi was a little surprised.

Lian'er nodded heavily, and told Manqi all the rumors in Ruan's mansion that she had heard today: "...... County Lord, that's the way things are, the people in the mansion say that your uncle betrayed you!"

"This can't be!" Manqi subconsciously defended after hearing this.

"How is it impossible?" Lian'er said in a hurry, "County Lord, what those subordinates are talking about is so lively, as soon as I walk over, they won't say it." I asked for a long time before someone else told me something in a secret. ”

Manqi stood up and brushed Lian'er's hand: "Lian'er, you have been with me since you were a child, how did you learn this mistake of spreading falsehoods? I haven't known Tianhao for a day or two, can I still not know who he is?"

Lian'er looked at Manqi's unbelieving appearance at all, and was so anxious, this county lord didn't know what kind of ecstasy soup was poured by his uncle, how could he be so sure? She held Manqi's arm again, and said bitterly: "County lord, if only one person said this, I wouldn't believe it. But everyone is talking about it, if you don't believe it, just go out with Lian'er to have a look! Can't the people in this mansion all eat the courage of ambitious leopards and dare to arrange their uncles like this, right?"

"Alright, Lian'er!" Manqi said unhappily, "You don't have to say more, I can trust Tianhao's character." There must be a misunderstanding. You also know that in this Ruan Mansion, Tianhao is a concubine, and he is not as good as the eldest brother. Sometimes, in order to please the eldest brother, there are also bad words that hurt Tianhao. ”

"County Lord......" Lian'er called helplessly.

Manqi interrupted her: "Lian'er, you have been by my side for more than ten years, right?

"County Lord, I'm ......" Lian'er heard her say this, and wanted to explain a thing or two for herself.

Manqi had turned his back: "That's enough! I'm a little unwell, let's go and rest for a while." You don't have to come in and serve. With that, he turned and went into the house.

Lian'er looked at Manqi's back, full of helplessness. As the county lord said, she has been with the county lord for more than ten years, although they are nominally master and servant, but in fact, the county lord has never regarded her as a maid. On weekdays, if the county lord has any good food and clothing, he has to leave a copy for her. There was once a subordinate in the house who looked hot, so he ran to the prince to say cool things and sue her, and after the county lord found out, he insisted that the prince blame the villain.

Even, the county lord once said in front of the subordinates in the palace that anyone who bullied her would be disrespectful to the county lord! In this way, even the concubines around the prince would not treat her too much. Everyone said half-jokingly in private: "There is one more second lady in the Pingnan Palace!"

However, today, the county lord actually said such things to her, and insisted on defending that negative uncle! Lian'er really didn't understand, how could a person as smart as the county lord believe in her uncle so desperately and unprincipledly?

Manqi, who returned to the room, was lying on the bed alone, looking at the big red wedding tent, and her heart was in turmoil. Fang Cailian'er's words echoed in her head over and over again, and Lian'er said it so conclusively that it was almost impossible to doubt. And Tianhao's attitude towards her before was also a little suspicious.

However, even so, she still can't doubt Tianhao! She keeps thinking about the sweet past of the two in the past two years, Tianhao's righteous rescue that day, the careful care in the past two years, and the promise she swore in front of her father that she would do everything personally when preparing for the wedding......

So many memories of the past!

How could such a Tianhao do the things that Lian'er said? It must not be, it must be those subordinates who are talking nonsense and trying to stir up their feelings! It must be like this! Manqi thought definitely in her heart.
