Chapter Eighty-Three: Temptation
"What did the lady decide to do with her?"
"Hmph, do you think I'll be so impulsive this time? I'm going to let the master clean her up himself. ”
"Ma'am, what shall we do next?"
"You go and call Ruoxi to the Shiling Pavilion, I'll go to Master Zhao to explain this matter clearly, I want to see how she has to defend herself."
"Yes."
Li Xianglian hurriedly got up and ran towards the Shiling Pavilion, and after stepping into the door, she saw Ouyang Xing practicing calligraphy, and she said gently: "Master, the concubine has something to tell you." ”
"Madame is here, please come in quickly."
In view of the idea of the eldest lady, Ouyang Xing fell into a heart disease, so his attitude towards her also improved a lot.
Li Xianglian bent her eyebrows, walked over with a smile, and looked down at the words on the table, "Ah, the master writes so well." ”
"Hehe, Madame is smiling, by the way, I don't know what Madame wants to tell you?"
The two of them sat on the stool together, smiling in an atmosphere, like two ordinary couples who were very affectionate, and no one could see that the two of them had already been separated.
Li Xianglian restrained her smile and told her everything that happened today.
"Really?"
Ouyang Xing immediately sank his face and frowned solemnly, "Could it be a mistake?" Maybe it doesn't have to be Ruoxi. ”
Seeing that he subconsciously defended Ruoxi's little slut, Li Xianglian's heart throbbed, and she couldn't attack at this time, so she had to smile and say, "Master, the concubine was not sure at the time, but the maid who swept the floor said it herself, besides, there was no order from you in the Shiling Pavilion that day, how could the ordinary maid dare to come in?" So, it is very likely that Ruoxi heard it. ”
"But she ...... Why? ”
"Sir, you really can't think of it?"
"What?"
"You know, a while ago, Zi Qing went to the palace and said that he didn't like the prince, and he said something."
"I know this, she said it because she wanted to give up the prince to someone who really loves the prince, and that person is also her good sister."
"Hehe, then the master might as well think about it, in our house, who has the best relationship with Qingmad?"
"You mean ......"
Ouyang Xing's eyes were dark, and the fists on his legs became tighter and tighter, just because the words behind him were self-evident.
"Sir, madam, Miss Ruoxi is here."
Biqing's voice interrupted the conversation between the two, and when she looked up, she saw Ruoxi staring at a very innocent little face and walking in, and saluted the two in front of her, "Ruoxi has seen the old lady." ”
"Well, get up, we have something to ask you."
Li Xianglian smiled, her gentle attitude was really abnormal, Ruoxi felt that the atmosphere was wrong as soon as she came in, and then looked at the master, and found that his gaze staring at her at this time was very gloomy, and her heart jumped, what happened.
Li Xianglian stepped forward with a smile and took Ruoxi's hand cordially, "Don't be nervous, it's not a big deal, it's just that today because the sweeping maid didn't sweep the yard yesterday, the old man was angry, but the little maid didn't admit that she did it yesterday, she said that there were so many sweeping maids in turn yesterday, and she changed it almost every hour, and asked why the master wronged her." No, the old man got angry with a little girl, you have been waiting in the Shiling Pavilion yesterday, can you identify who swept the yard yesterday morning? ”
When Ruoxi heard this, she immediately smiled, "No problem, the slave must recognize it." ”
Not wanting her words to fall, Ouyang Xing's face became even more gloomy.
Li Xianglian smiled even more happily, and hurriedly instructed Biqing, "Go and call them all in and let Ruoxi recognize them." ”
"Yes."
Bi Qing nodded, opened the door, and soon called the six little maids in, standing side by side in front of Ruoxi, Ruoxi looked at it, and pointed to one of the youngest, wearing cyan coarse cloth clothes, and said, "It's her, she swept the courtyard again yesterday morning." ”
Ruoxi didn't know why, but after finishing speaking, she found that the atmosphere in the room suddenly changed, and even the softness on the eldest lady's face became cold.
"Biqing, leave the maids behind."
There were only Ouyang Xing, Li Xianglian and Ruoxi left in the room, Ouyang Xing looked at Ruoxi, his eyes were gloomy, as if he was holding back his anger, he drank violently, "Don't kneel down yet!" ”
Ruoxi was startled, and quickly knelt on the ground, very puzzled, "Master, I don't know what mistake Ruoxi made to make you so angry?" No matter what Ruoxi does, sir, don't be angry, being angry is not good for your body. ”
"Hmph, it's all this time, what are you still pretending to do?"
It was Li Xianglian who spoke, she stood up and walked in front of Ruoxi, raising her eyebrows, "Yesterday, you went to Langyue Pavilion. ”
Ruoxi's originally innocent expression suddenly changed, and then she disguised herself again, and said as a matter of course: "Yes, Ruoxi will go to Langyue Pavilion every day to chat with the eldest lady." ”
"Hehe, that's a nice thing to say, but you seem to have forgotten that your every move is in the eyes of Mrs. Ben, and what you have done, Mrs. Ben knows it clearly."
Li Xianglian covered her lips and chuckled, the mockery in her eyes was so clear.
Ruoxi's heart sank, and she quickly turned her head to look at Ouyang Xing, who was silent, "Master, Ruoxi really doesn't know what happened?" Please also ask the master to tell Ruoxi what he did wrong, and Ruoxi will change it. ”
Looking at Ruoxi's slightly nervous appearance, Ouyang Xing felt a little unbearable in his heart, but when he thought of what she had done, all his unbearable turned into cold anger, he slapped the table hard, and said in a deep voice, "Ruoxi, but you went to Langyue Pavilion to tell me about the matter discussed with the eldest lady?" ”
Ruoxi's heart shook suddenly, and she couldn't hold back her weak heart, and opened her eyes wide in confusion, "Gaomi? Ruoxi doesn't understand, I don't know what the master said? ”
"Don't want to admit it yet?!"
Li Xianglian snorted coldly, narrowed her eyes, and said sharply, "It's just that you went to Langyue Pavilion Gaomi, and you don't want Qing Mad to be with the prince of the world, right?" Just now we asked you who was sweeping the yard yesterday, the maid you correctly identified, she saw you come to the Shiling Pavilion with her own eyes, and left in a hurry after a while, so many maids you clearly identified, indicating that the maid's words are true! And you...... What other reasons do you have? ”
"Nope! Madame, I don't! How did I go to Gaomi? There's no way I'm going to go. ”
Ruoxi's face was full of grievances, she turned her head to look at Ouyang Xing, and burst into tears, "Master, it's not me, it's really not me, I don't dare, I really don't dare......"
Ouyang Xing sighed, but now that the evidence is there, it seems redundant that Ruoxi is still quibbling, and he can't help waving his hand, "Come on, lock Ruoxi in the firewood room, and don't allow her to take a step without my order." ”
"Old man......"
Li Xianglian was in a hurry, how could she let her go easily? The punishment is too easy for such a simple firewood room!
But Ouyang Xing already knew what she meant, so he interrupted her in advance, "Go ahead, lock Ruoxi up, I'm tired." With that, he stood up and walked towards the cabinet.
Unwillingly kicked a kick, Li Xianglian was angry in her heart, and the old man was obviously unwilling to punish this little slut! Hmph, even if you don't punish her, I can't do anything about her? With a sinister smile, she turned her head and said to Bi Qing with an expressionless face, "Take her to the firewood room, Mrs. Ben wants to have a good chat with her about life." ”
"Yes, ma'am."
Bi Qing stepped forward, rudely dragged Ruoxi's arm and walked out, Ruoxi was excited, and hurriedly resisted, "Let go of me!" Don't do this to me! You don't have the right to punish me, my lord won't let you go! ”
How could Ruoxi not know about Li Xianglian's thoughts? Thinking of Li Xianglian's methods last time, she was frightened and her little face turned pale.
"If you scream again, I will pluck out your tongue at once."
Li Xianglian's words were not light or serious, and successfully made Ruoxi close her mouth, and she was dragged out by Biqing with a pale face, she was puzzled, who betrayed her?
Could it be Ouyang Qing's madness?
No way!
She didn't have to be stupid enough to do this, she obviously didn't want to be with the prince.
So, who will it be?
Li Xianglian said that she knew everything, so she really sent someone to spy on herself?
Thinking of this, Ruoxi suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, she was really careless!
……
……
The sky gradually darkened, and the eldest lady came to Langyue Pavilion again.
"Daughter, my mother will take you to the garden for a walk, it is said that the moon is far away today, and the night view is very beautiful."
Before the person arrives, the sound arrives first.
Ouyang Qingfang raised his head and looked at it with a smile, and when he saw Li Xianglian walking in, he called softly, "Mother, is it really a full moon tonight?" ”
"Of course, if you don't believe it, you go out with me to have a look, it's really beautiful."
Li Xianglian walked over, and without saying a word, she took her hand and went out, only to hear a helpless smile, "Okay, okay, can't I go, don't drag me, I'll go by myself." ”
"Huh."
Li Xianglian didn't let go of her hand, as if she was afraid that she would run away if she let go, so she forced her to come to the garden.
Now is the season of a hundred flowers, the fragrance of peonies, the charm of the moon season, the brightness of violets, etc., one by one, the beauty of blooming in the moonlight.
"How's it going, are these flowers beautiful?"
Li Xianglian turned her head to look at her daughter, and found that she did not have anything unusual at this time, and wondered in her heart, is the amount of medicine less than the time of the attack.
Ouyang Qingfang didn't care about her gaze, and smiled in a blink of an eye, "Beautiful, it's been many days since my daughter has seen such a beautiful scenery." ”
As soon as the words fell, she suddenly frowned, and her body shook, "Mother, my head is so dizzy." ”
"Dizzy?"
Li Xianglian was overjoyed, and pretended to be very worried on her face, "That's it, there is a small room not far away, and my mother will help you go in to rest." ”
"Yes."
Holding his head, he followed her towards the room.
As soon as I entered, it was so dark that there were no candles.
"My daughter will wait here for a while, and my mother will go and bring the candles."
"Mother, go and come back quickly."
"Well, don't run around, the surrounding roads are uneven, and you will fall."
"I see."
Li Xianglian walked out slowly, closed the door, and ran all the way, she returned to the Shiling Pavilion, at this time, Ouyang Xing and Huangfu Yixuan were sitting on the chair chatting, as soon as they saw her, Ouyang Xing squinted with satisfaction, "Madam is back." ”
"I've seen Madame."
The bald waste in the past few days made Huangfu Yixuan look very haggard, even if he changed his clothes, he couldn't stop the smell of alcohol, and in the evening, a letter from Ouyang Mansion immediately ignited his hope, and he came quickly.
