Chapter 68: Flattening
Here, Wan Jinlan and Princess Anyang went out of the house in disguise, and are now in a house in Xinghua Lane.
Listening to Ma Xing's report, Chen Congbai was not on duty today, and came to Zhang Jia's residence after getting up in the morning.
When the two came, Chen Congbai had not left.
The courtyard next to the small courtyard where Zhang Jia lived, Wan Jinlan rented it.
Between the lanes, an inconspicuous hole was dug in the wall at night, and you could lie on it to see the situation inside.
An Yang watched Chen Congbai and Zhang Jia have lunch under the tree in the courtyard like husband and wife, and the two were as close as a family.
Chen Congbai will personally wipe the corners of Zhang Jia's mouth, hand her a water cup, carry water for her to fill the water tank, repair the broken swing rope for her, and do all the trivial things for her.
is obviously a son from a wealthy background, but he does what only ordinary men do for another woman.
That was Chen Congbai, who Anyang had never seen.
"Let's go, let's go home." Princess Anyang clenched her fists tightly.
An Yang was astringent in her heart, she thought she had met a lover, but she didn't expect that person to be a liar.
"If the person in his heart is not me, why did he say he wanted to take me away? He wasn't afraid that I would really promise him in a desperate situation! ”
Wan Jinlan said: "Maybe he expected that you would not abandon your aunt and leave alone." ”
"I won't spare him!"
When I returned home, I realized that Xiao Minghuan and Wan Qiuyu had been here for a long time.
The two of them just walked into the flower hall where they were entertaining, and just sat down, Wan Qiuyu knelt in front of them.
"That day of the palace banquet, I was blinded by lard, because I was jealous of the third sister, and I wanted to add some blockage to the third sister, so I used the means to lure the princess and the third sister to Yifang Pavilion."
"I hope that the princess and the third sister will not care about the villain, forgive me this time."
Wan Qiuyu knelt humbly, his tone was sincere, but the fist clenched in his sleeve was clenched tightly.
She swore that sooner or later, she would repay today's shame several times.
Xiao Minghuan looked apologetic, "Anyang..."
Princess Anyang interrupted him, she got up with a cold face and asked, "I just want to ask the third brother, do you know Chen Congbai's outer room?" Did you know that he wanted to marry that woman? ”
"Third brother, do you want to use me to tie him up? Exchange me for the Chen family's silver, right! ”
Wan Jinlan was surprised that Princess Anyang could think of this layer.
Xiao Minghuan's expression was shocked, with panic in shock, "Chen Congbai's outer room? Is there some misunderstanding in this? I really don't know, Anyang, don't misunderstand the third brother. ”
An Yang snorted coldly, "There is no misunderstanding, I have seen it with my own eyes, in the future, the third brother will no longer have to bring him to me to beg for tricks, and my marriage will not worry about the third brother, and you don't have to introduce me to these people with bad intentions in the center of the gold and jade." ”
"I used to be the third brother for my good purposes, but I didn't expect the third brother to treat me as a pawn."
Xiao Minghuan was speechless, and when he saw An Yang's angry face, he said angrily: "I went to him to settle the account, it was he who told me that I was interested in you, and I saw that he was sincere, so I was willing to match him, sister, don't misunderstand me." ”
An Yang sneered, flicked his sleeves and left the flower hall.
Xiao Minghuan smiled bitterly and looked at Wan Jinlan, "Sister Jinlan, you have to explain a thing or two to An Yang for my good life, how could I possibly push the people from the outer room to An Yang's side." ”
Wan Jinlan said: "Please go out and wait for a while, I have something to say with the side concubine." ”
Xiao Minghuan looked around the two of them, and then nodded.
Even the people in the flower hall were waved away by Wan Jinlan.
Wan Qiuyu didn't want to continue to kneel in front of Wan Jinlan in embarrassment, so she simply got up.
"I have no grievances with you, what have you done to me?"
Wan Qiuyu bit her lip, "I said it, because of jealousy." ”
Wan Jinlan sneered, "You sent that letter at the beginning, tell me that Xiao Minghuan wants to marry me." ”
Wan Qiuyu was shocked in her heart, she didn't expect Wan Jinlan to be so keen.
"I don't know what you're talking about, what letter?"
Wan Jinlan chuckled, "The person who delivered the letter appeared near Duanwang's Mansion a few days ago, and today, my people detained him, do you want to go with me to meet him?" ”
"As soon as his household registration is checked, I know that if I don't expect, he should be from Yangzhou, after all, his accent is still quite obvious."
Wan Jinlan paid attention to Wan Qiuyu's expression, and when she saw that she looked nervous, she was relieved, and she guessed correctly.
That person was not in her hands at all, she was just cheating Wan Qiuyu.
If the concubine's aunt sends the eunuch to Duanwang's mansion, Xiao Minghuan will definitely take Wan Qiuyu into the palace to plead guilty.
As soon as she returned to the house, she heard from the people in the house that Xiao Minghuan and the side concubine had been here for a long time, so it can be seen that Wan Qiuyu should not have time to meet with the person who sent the letter today.
"The side concubine is so strange, and she seems to have the ability to predict the future."
"Since Chen Congbai has a beloved, why did he dare to propose to An Yang to take her away at the juncture when the two countries were discussing peace, and to please her in every way? If the matter is revealed, it will implicate the entire Chen family, he obviously has a beloved, but he still dares to do this, it is really flawed everywhere. Wan Jinlan touched his chin, his eyes showed a thoughtful look, staring at Wan Qiuyu, "I guess someone told him for sure that Anyang will not be sent to kiss." ”
Wan Qiuyu swallowed her saliva nervously and turned sideways, "The third sister is all guessing, what Chen Congbai said to Princess Anyang, I don't know with the prince, what the third sister said is nonsense, whether Princess Anyang will be sent to kiss is something that His Majesty can decide." ”
Wan Jinlan ignored her, seemed to recognize his previous remarks, and continued: "You let me avoid King Duan's calculations and went back to the mansion by myself, but I managed to become King Duan's side concubine, I don't know if King Duan knew that you played a role in it, causing him to fail to marry the princess of the long house of the princess." ”
"Thousands of miles away, you are in Yangzhou, but you can predict what happened in Beijing, concubine, can you explain what the reason is?"
Wan Qiuyu continued to stiffen her mouth, her fists clenched tightly in her sleeves, "I don't know what you're talking about." ”
Wan Jinlan curled the corners of her lips, "If I tell King Duan about the letter, I don't know how he will react, Concubine Fang, I'm looking forward to it." ”
Wan Qiuyu collapsed and said angrily: "What do you want? ”
At another time, she would not be afraid, but she had just made a mistake, and it was the right time for Wang Minghui to enter the mansion, so she couldn't make her situation worse.
She couldn't let Xiao Minghuan know that it was because of her that he didn't marry Wan Jinlan.
When that incident is told to others, no one will believe it, but Xiao Minghuan will definitely believe it!
Wan Jinlan shrugged, "I didn't think about it, what can I do to you?" But it's always not so comfortable to be stared at in the shadows to prevent being assassinated. ”
Wan Qiuyu gasped, "I'll tell you a piece of news about King Qi, and you and I will tie it out this time." ”
