Chapter 22: Believe
Lord Ancheng gently stroked his daughter's back and said softly: "A-Niang just wants you to be safe and carefree, how can you be willing to let you know this?" If I had known this, why should I hide it from you? Don't worry, it should be yours, A-Niang won't let anyone take it away. Whether it's reputation or hard work, A-Niang will find a way. ”
"It's just the same, you can't be rash anymore. You have to promise A-Niang, no matter what happens next, you have to believe that A-Niang loves you, A-Niang will only pay for you alone, everything I do is for you. You know? ”
The hideous look on the face of the county lord of Ruyi slowly receded, snuggled in his mother's arms, and nodded obediently.
The county lord of Ancheng hugged her lovingly, and the only thing that was fortunate was that Ruyi did not succeed.
Otherwise, if Qin Zhu died, who would save her daughter?
To appease the county lord of Ruyi, the county lord of Ancheng immediately set about dealing with the rumors that were boiling outside.
Since the day of the paddock, Ah Candle has not gone out again, Qi Zhener and others handed over posts to invite her to play, and they also refused one by one on the grounds that they were frightened.
She didn't show up, and outsiders didn't know how she was doing, and they speculated that something had happened to her. Some people even say that Ah Candle has been hacked to death by the county lord of Ruyi, but he secretly hid the body and had no chance to transport it out of the house, so everyone didn't know.
When the county lord of Ancheng heard this, he was so angry that he dropped a set of valuable tea sets.
But she quickly calmed down and told her to do what she was told.
In less than a day, the direction of the wind changes.
The Song family, several noble ladies are cutting window flowers in Song Zhizhi today.
Zhao Susu didn't cut out a complete Fu character several times, and couldn't help but be deflated: "Don't play, my hands hurt when I cut it, and Ah Candle too, I called her several times, but she didn't come out, is it really like what was said outside, did she have an accident?" ”
"What nonsense? Phew! Qi Zhen'er took a bite of her, less crow's mouth.
"Qi Niang, it's not good!" The maid who always paid attention to the rumors outside hurriedly walked in, she had followed Song Zhizhi since she was a child, and she also knew that Song Zhizhi and Ah Candle were very affectionate at first sight, and said with a scorched face at the moment, "Someone outside said that the concierge of the county lord's mansion was drunk, and he said to him in person, the county lord of Ruyi has no intention of harming people at all, but Qin Niangzi, since she was taken back to Shengjing, she has been arrogant and domineering in the mansion, and Qin Niangzi has to grab everything that is the county lord of Ruyi." The people of the county lord's mansion saw the wind and steered, and they secretly neglected the Ruyi county lord, and because of this, the Ruyi county lord couldn't bear it anymore and had no choice but to take action. ”
Song Zhizhi said angrily: "What nonsense! ”
Ah Candle is not that kind of person at all!
But no matter whether it's true or not, as long as someone is willing to listen and pass it on, this dirty water splashed on Ah Candle can become true even if it is not true.
People are terrible, nothing more than that.
Qi Zhen'er worried: "No wonder Ah Zhu refuses to come out, if she hears this outside, I'm afraid she won't be able to eat." ”
It's weird.
Ah Candle can eat two bowls of rice in one meal.
The county lord of Ancheng intentionally or unintentionally restricted her freedom, but she did not treat her harshly in eating, but because the county lord of Ruyi cut all her clothes, and asked the embroidery girl in the house to make several new ones overnight, the county lord of Ruyi also seemed to have reformed and changed people, and picked out several treasures that could not be seen outside for Ah Candle to play with.
Ah Candle ate and drank to her heart's content, touched her stomach, walked into the courtyard, and said to her mother-in-law, who was obviously serving but was actually taking care of: "Ah Niang is at home?" You tell A-Niang for me, if the county lord doesn't like me, I won't be here to get in the way, A-Niang and the county lord have a deep mother-daughter relationship, don't let me have an estrangement. ”
Qin Candle was picked up by Sheng Jing and only wore a set of old clothes on his body, and Ah Candle was empty-handed when he left, and even the clothes were still the same old set as before.
When the mother-in-law saw that she was so serious, she was very frightened, and hurriedly stopped people to find the county lord of Ancheng.
The county lord of Ancheng is still busy with the affairs of the county lord of Ruyi, and the good shows of the county lord's mansion come out one after another, as if someone is deliberately working against the county lord of Ancheng, she finally reversed the situation, and someone came forward to clarify that the county lord of Ruyi is domineering by nature, and he doesn't know how to kill a few maids all year round, and it is impossible to be bullied by A Candle.
The family who originally received the maid's funeral fee also cried on the street full of people, saying that the county lord of Ruyi would beat people at every turn if he was not satisfied, and his daughter was not the first, let alone the last.
The county lord of Ancheng was so angry that he was about to go crazy, and when his anger was high, he heard that Ah Candle was going back to the countryside.
She longed to stab this little slut to death with a knife, but she had to take time to appease one or two.
Ah Candle's expression was depressed, and he said, "Ah Niang, I know that what is said outside is false, county lord...... It shouldn't hurt me. However, the county lord doesn't like me either, since I came to the county lord's mansion, I have caused a lot of trouble for A-Niang, I better go back to the countryside, so that A-Niang is clean, and the county lord is also happy. If His Royal Highness asks, you can ask the county lord to be a companion, and it will be the same. ”
Is this what she wants to be a companion to be a companion?
The county lord of An Cheng was so angry that his face turned pale, and he almost wanted to vomit blood, so he tried to squeeze out a smile and said, "How can it be done?" Ah Candle, you are the most well-behaved and sensible, so don't make trouble for Ah Niang at this time. No matter what you say outside, it has nothing to do with you, it's a group of ordinary people who don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement, and even fanning the flames and fishing in troubled waters, in order to let our own families centrifuge. You're not fooled, are you? ”
Ah Candle said melancholy: "It doesn't help me to stay in this Niang, Ah Niang won't let me go out these days, presumably there is even more suspicion outside, it is better to send me back to the countryside like this, and the turmoil of this matter will stop." ”
"Who said I wouldn't let you out? A-Niang is for your good, I'm afraid that you will go out and hear gossip and be sad! Seeing that no matter what he said, he couldn't dispel Ah Candle's thoughts, the county lord of An Cheng gritted his teeth and held Ah Candle's hand, "Don't you want to marry Xi Erlang?" A-Niang has been busy with this matter these days. ”
Ah Candle's eyes suddenly lit up, "Really? A-Niang didn't lie to me, right? ”
"Of course it's true!"
"Then when will I be able to marry Xi Erlangjun? Is it okay next month? Ah Candle turned his worries into joy, and the whole person came to life.
The county lord of Ancheng had a splitting headache, and he was afraid that he would be angry too much, and his eyes began to turn white.
Ah Candle continued: "Ah Niang, can I go to Song's house tomorrow?" Your Highness said that you want the two of us to be by your side in a few days, and I haven't prepared anything, do I want to give a gift to Your Highness? There are also Song Sanniangzi, Song Wuniangzi, and Song Qiniang! ”
Hearing a series of titles, Lord Ancheng's head became bigger and bigger, and she couldn't help but interrupt: "Enough! ”
Taking a deep breath, Lord An Cheng squeezed out a smile and said, "If you want to go, you can go, everything will be ready for you." Ah Candle, you must know that Ah Niang's favorite person is ......"
Before she could finish speaking, Ah Candle cheered and happily ran to the room, ready to change her clothes and go out.
Lord Ancheng's smile froze on his face and became very distorted.
She didn't know that Xi Lan was afraid of being entangled by their mother and daughter, so she had already sent someone to deliver the news to the Jiujiang Xi clan, and soon, she would be scolded by the Xi clan elders in a letter.
