Chapter 18: The Handmaid Who Warms the Bed
In the study, Jiang Ci was looking at the book, and suddenly the door was pushed open, he pointed his fingers, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Su Yu walking in in a hurry, followed by the guards who wanted to stop but didn't dare to stop him.
Jiang Ci waved his hand, and the guards retreated.
"What's wrong?"
Su Yu walked over and crouched in front of the bookcase and said seriously: "Ah Ci, or.... Shall we have a room from today? ”
Smack!
The book slipped, falling from his hand and falling onto the desk.
Jiang Ci's eyes seemed to be glued to the book, and he didn't dare to put his eyes on Su Yu anymore.
"Why?" He struggled to control his emotions, but his voice was still trembling with nervousness.
Su Yu sighed bitterly: "It's not because of Aunt Jinsi, I'm really about to be tortured by her and go crazy, we live together, let her think that we have a round house, so that she can retire and go back to my mother to take revenge." ”
"Ah Ci? Ah Ci? ”
"Ah Ci?"
"Huh?"
"What do you want? You shouldn't be called. ”
Jiang Ci's face turned red for a while, he covered his lips and coughed dryly: "I, I didn't think about anything, I listened." ”
"Alas, anyway, I've been tortured by Jinsi for several nights and haven't slept well, you can see that my eye circles are dark." Su Yu sighed again with a sad face.
"I see." Jiang Ci stared at Shujian without squinting, and his voice became smaller and smaller, "I will.... Will return.. Bedrooms to live. ”
Suddenly there was a knock at the door.
"Lord, Duchess of Anguo Su Wenying asks to see you."
"Auntie?" Su Yu looked at Jiang Ci in surprise, and Jiang Ci was also a little surprised.
"Good hospitality, this king will be there immediately."
"Yes."
Su Yu couldn't figure out for a while what her aunt could do to find Jiang Ci, her aunt was withdrawn and arrogant, and she hated her father very much, so that she had never seen her aunt have a good face for her since she was a child.
Even if my brother is such an excellent person, my aunt looks disdainful when she sees it, and I don't see my aunt have any good friends in my past and present lives, if I have to say one, then I'm afraid it is the Aunt Liu who can talk to anyone in two sentences.
Should it be.... Su Yu had an ominous premonition.
"Ah Ci, I'll go with you, I haven't seen my aunt for a long time."
Jiang Ci also had this intention, and the two went to the living room together.
When I arrived outside the living room, I saw Aunt Liu sitting next to Su Wenying, and the two of them were talking and laughing.
"Auntie, I haven't seen you for a long time, Yu'er is polite."
As soon as Su Wenying saw Su Yu come in, the smile on her face disappeared instantly, and she returned to her usual cold appearance, and took Liu Yuan to salute Jiang Ci.
Su Yu, who had long been accustomed to it, was not angry and then laughed, but as soon as she came in, she found that there was still a person standing in the room, looking very familiar, she thought carefully for a long time before she remembered, isn't this the Ning Yue of Yanchun Tower?
She glanced at Liu Yuan's triumphant face, and probably guessed why these two people came.
"Duchess Anguo, please take a seat." Jiang Cichao Su Wenying bowed slightly.
"I wonder why Duchess An Guo is here today?"
Su Wenying took a sip of tea, wiped the corners of her mouth and put down the tea bowl and said: "It's not a big deal, it's just that I heard that my niece is rude, and I think it has caused a lot of trouble to His Highness, so I came to apologize to His Highness for this uncompetitive niece." ”
"Duchess Anguo said with a smile, Yu'er has always been frank and intelligent, and the operation of Yu'er in the entire Jin Palace's palace is well organized, and even His Majesty praised Yu'er for her dignified appearance and wisdom, this is rude? Where do you start? ”
Su Yu looked at Su Wenying's red and white face, bit her lower lip and forced herself to laugh, she had never seen her aunt deflated as soon as she said a word in her life, it seemed that she had found someone who could cure her aunt.
"This girl has lacked discipline since she was a child, she..." Liu Yuan was interrupted by Jiang Ci before she finished speaking.
"This king is talking to the Duchess of Anguo, what are you, dare to interject." Jiang Ci's eyes and voice were cold, "It seems that the lesson of that day was not deep enough. ”
Liu Yuan touched his face that had not completely disappeared, and hung his head unwillingly.
"Haha..."Su Wenying laughed a few times and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin has such a big temper, she came with me, we are all related to each other, this is not Dali Temple, how can there be a reason not to let people talk." ”
Jiang Ci was puzzled: "Oh? Why does this king only hear the barking of dogs, but not the sound of people? Yu'er, did you hear that? ”
Su Yu held back a smile and said, "Yes, auntie, aren't there just the three of us who are talking?" Who's the other one? ”
"You!" Liu Yuan was so angry that she almost stood up, but when she met Shang Jiang Ci's gaze, she forced her head down and sat back.
Su Wenying was also angry, she picked up the tea bowl and drank a big sip of tea, put it down heavily, relieved her breath and smiled slightly: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin doesn't have to say good things for Yu'er, don't I know my own niece?" ”
"Come on." She beckoned to Ning Yue, who was standing aside, and Ning Yue stepped forward and saluted a few people.
"Look, look, what a Peugeot kid." Su Wenying looked at Jiang Ci with a smile: "Your Highness, look at it, this is called gentle and dignified, this woman, it should be a congratulatory gift from me, with her waiting, I can also be happy in my heart, so as not to make Yu'er domineering on weekdays, make His Royal Highness annoyed, and it seems that our Su family does not understand the rules." ”
When Jiang Ci heard this, a sneer appeared on the corner of his lips: "Isn't Duchess Anguo joking with this king again?" Madame brought the flower lady of Yanchun Mansion to the door, did she think that anyone was worthy of being a concubine with this king? ”
"Your Royal Highness the King of Jin, what are you talking about?" Su Wenying smiled fearlessly and looked directly at Jiang Ci, "Your Highness just treats her as a thing by her side and wants to be happy, not to mention that this Ning Yue is not selling her body, Your Highness just rest assured." ”
"The king has received it, people, the Duchess of Anguo should take it back."
Su Wenying didn't have the slightest intention of retreating: "Your Highness, don't be in a hurry to refuse, after all, this is the intention of our Anguo Mansion and Ningyuan Marquis Mansion." ”
"Marquis Ningyuan's Mansion?"
Jiang Ci knocked on the handle, and the pair of Ruifeng eyes instantly became a little mocking, he raised his eyes and glanced at Liu Yuan, and sneered: "This king doesn't think that anyone other than Marquis Ning Yuan and his wife can represent the Marquis of Ning Yuan's mansion in front of this king." ”
Liu Yuan dared to be angry, so he could only give Su Wenying a look for help, and the smile on Su Wenying's face was somewhat unbearable.
She said: "Of course, this is also what my brother and sister meant, but she entrusted this matter to me, but she is just a beautiful girl, who can make His Royal Highness the King of Jin move so much, it seems that our Lu family and Su family are not worthy of sending congratulatory gifts to the King of Jin." ”
There was no wave in Jiang Ci's eyes, even An Guogong himself didn't dare to be so presumptuous in front of him, if the person in front of him was not Su Yu's aunt, he would have ordered him to be expelled from the mansion long ago.
He was about to say something, but Su Yu suddenly covered his hand and gave him a look, he suppressed his anger and looked away.
"Auntie." Su Yu stood up with a smile, she didn't want to embarrass her father and mother by clashing with Su Wenying, but if she bullied people too much, she couldn't tolerate it.
"If it weren't for my aunt who would call me a niece, I would have thought that my aunt would no longer have a relative like me in her eyes."
Su Yu tightened her mouth and didn't give the other party a chance to interject: "My newlywed Yan'er has not been around for less than a month, and my aunt is in a hurry to stuff people into my husband's room, I don't know if my aunt is sincere enough to block me, or An Guogong's hand is so long that he wants to reach into the Jin Palace?" ”
"What are you talking about, Su Yu!" Su Wenying immediately couldn't sit still, "I was just afraid that you wouldn't be able to serve a good husband, so I found someone to help you, and you slandered me like this."
Su Wenying said and stood up and glanced at Su Yu: "This is the good daughter taught by Su Yiqian, and today is an eye-opener." ”
"Our Anguo Mansion has an innocent kindness, and it actually made you treat it as a donkey's liver and lungs, it is really the heart of a villain and the belly of a gentleman, people, I will keep this, whatever you do." After Su Wenying finished speaking, she flicked her sleeves and left angrily.
The corners of Su Yu's mouth raised slightly: "Come on, send the Duchess of Anguo." ”
Su Wenying's figure was far away, and she focused on Liu Yuan: "What? Doesn't my aunt want to stay for lunch? ”
The backer was angry and left, and Liu Yuan didn't dare to speak, so he hurriedly got up and retreated.
"Stop!"
Liu Yuan's feet stepped out of the threshold, and when he remembered the picture of being slapped that day, he couldn't help but shiver all over.
Su Yu smiled contemptuously: "I advise my aunt to keep in mind what I said that day, put away her thoughts, and don't lift a stone to hit yourself in the foot, I don't have that much good temper." ”
Liu Yuan gritted his teeth and hurriedly walked out, Su Yu looked at the other party's back and gradually put away his smile.
She turned around and just looked at Ning Yue, who was startled and hurriedly lowered her head.
Su Yu looked at Ning Yue, this woman today was obviously much more elaborate than when she saw her in Yanchun Mansion that day.
"Ah Ci, do you like her? If you like it, you can barely stay. ”
When the words fell, Jiang Ci's expression gradually stiffened, and the fingertips holding the armrest were so hard that they turned white, he opened his mouth but couldn't make a sound several times, and after a while, he replied: "I don't like it." ”
The voice was weak to the point of weakness, as if a man who had been sick for a long time was speaking.
"I'm tired, let's go first." Jiang Ci propped up the chair hard before he stood up and walked out, his steps getting faster and faster, but the back of the leaving was a little lonely.
Su Yu felt that something was wrong with Jiang Ci, but she couldn't understand what was wrong, and her mind became more and more confused.
She pulled back her thoughts and looked at Ning Yue and said, "Now there are only two of us left, no matter what benefits the person who brought you here promises you, or what he uses to threaten you, I will only give you two choices." ”
"Yes." Ning Yue's head lowered a little more.
"If you have not yet redeemed yourself, I will redeem your life for you, and help you buy and sell piles or fields, so that you can live a normal life."
"Or..."Su Yu said with a smile: "You want to be a bed-warming maid to follow the King of Jin, gambling on the crowd, maybe one day he can sit in that position, and you will completely become a human being." ”
Ning Yue's eyes widened and she knelt down in a panic: "The villain doesn't dare!" The villain would never dare! ”
"Of course you don't dare."
Su Yu took a step back and looked at her coldly: "If you dare, how can you still live to talk to me?" I know that you are a poor man, but I will never work with a prostitute, and I will give you two ways, one is that I will help you regain your life, and the other is to die. ”
"The villain chooses the first one."
Su Yu didn't feel any emotion and said, "Okay, I'll send someone to help you arrange everything." ”
"Thank you for the grace of the princess." Ning Yue kowtowed three times vigorously, "The princess's great kindness and virtue, the villain will never forget, and in the next life, he will set a grass title ring to repay his deep kindness." ”
