Chapter Seventy-Four: Crossing the River and Demolishing the Bridge
"Is Ah Lang back?"
Yun Niang smiled and said, "Don't worry, Lady, Ah Lang came back early this morning, and now he is in the study." ”
Qingrong smiled a little embarrassedly, she told Chang Ning that she was willing to inquire about the news for Chang Ning, if there was a sign, if necessary, she was willing to go to Xizhou to find out Li Yuanmin's whereabouts in person, and if she found it, she would be well placed to keep her safe. But the premise of this is that Chang Ning wants to recommend Xue Shao as a general and lead the troops to the west. Chang Ning naturally agreed.
Qingrong's decision was not just for Xue Shao's impulsive actions, Li Yuanmin's matter was a hidden danger for the Xue family after all, and now that she already knew it, she would inevitably feel uneasy if she handed it over to others as soon as possible. In addition, the war in Xizhou is tight, and it is only a matter of time before the imperial court sends troops to support, Xue Shao has experience in conquering the Western Regions, and he is more familiar with the situation in this place than others, and he is also a good candidate. What's more, he went to the Western Regions, and with the help of the government, things could be done more smoothly.
"Then I'll go look for him."
Chang Ning entered the palace today, if there is no accident, this matter is a certainty. He was not there for the past two days, and now that he has returned, she can't wait to tell Xue Shao about it.
"You're back, what are you up to?" Qingrong entered the study with a smile and asked.
When Xue Shao saw her come in, he was a little nervous and covered the paper on the table, but then he felt ridiculous, so he took the paper off the table.
"But I'm sorry to bother you."
Xue Shao shook his head, "You came just in time." ”
Qingrong smiled and asked, "Do you have something to tell me too?" That's a coincidence, seeing that you're in a hurry, then you can talk about it first. ”
But the next sentence of Xue Shao's "Heli" blocked what Qingrong was going to say in his mouth, and Qingrong only felt that his body weighed a thousand catties and couldn't speak. She couldn't believe that this was what Xue Shao wanted to tell herself?
Qingrong smiled and froze on his face, trying to maintain his calm, "What did you say?" ”
Xue Shao said again: "We... Let's leave. ”
Qingrong stared at him and asked in a cold voice, "Really?" ”
Xue Shao didn't dare to raise his eyes to look at her, and quickly hummed.
Unexpectedly, he didn't wait for her questioning, angry, only a calm voice, "Okay." ”
Qingrong lowered her eyes and saw the book on the table, she picked up the book and read it at a glance, and couldn't help sneering: "It turned out that it had been planned for a long time." ”
It's really in vain that she has worked so hard to plan so much, but what about him? But he planned to reconcile with himself early, which is really ridiculous!
After speaking, Qingrong didn't stop for a moment, and ordered Ah Zhen and Song Yue, who were already stunned, "Let's go." ”
Xue Shao looked at her departing back, his mouth was full of bitterness, but he couldn't say half a word, he thought that if Qingrong asked the reason, he still needed to find a resignation to explain, but she didn't ask half a word, originally he should be relieved... But he was not happy at all.
Song Yue and Ah Zhen followed Qingrong back to the room step by step, Qingrong was really angry and aggrieved, and his tone was a little bad, "Close the door." After that, they sat down without saying a word, and Ah Zhen and Song Yue looked at each other at this time, and they didn't dare to speak. After waiting for a long time, seeing Qingrong closing her eyes and shaking her head, Song Yue pondered and said, "Lady Mo is angry." ”
Qingrong frowned, and put the wrinkled and detached book in his hand on the table, "You also saw it just now, how do you think I can not be angry?" ”
"Even so, the lady was still impulsive and impulsive just now."
Qingrong didn't speak, and closed his eyes again.
Yes, she admitted, she did act aggressively, despite the silence on her face.
Although Song Yue was a little dissatisfied with Xue Shao's behavior these days, she still persuaded: "Lady, maybe Ah Lang is confused for a while, and he hasn't thought about it yet, so it's better to talk to him well, don't misunderstand." “
"Confused?" Qingrong snorted coldly, "Can you say this casually?" You don't have to speak for him, and since he is separated from me, can he still force it? ”
Song Yue looked at Qingrong and was a little worried, "The lady said such a righteous word... It's not like you used to be. ”
Qingrong paused, was silent for a moment, and nodded: "It's me who is in a hurry, but I really don't want to pay attention to him now." ”
Song Yue was quite calm, and persuaded: "Lady, the matter of harmony and separation is not something that Ah Lang can count by saying it alone, and it needs to be nodded and agreed by the two elders and discussed before it can be done." Aaron he... Even if he has this idea now, he may not really be able to reconcile with his mother, but I am afraid that Mrs. Lu and the county prince still don't know about it. ”
Qingrong lowered her eyes and was silent, Yun Niang took the buttermilk at this time and was coming from outside, seeing that several people had bad faces, the atmosphere was gloomy for a while, and the smile on her face was also frozen, she asked carefully: "What's the matter?" ”
Ah Zhen whispered a few words in her ear, telling her what had just happened, Yun Niang was also very surprised when she heard this, she almost couldn't believe her ears, she looked at Qingrong's somewhat depressed and aggrieved look, and she was also angry for a while, she didn't expect Ah Lang to be this kind of person!
Song Yue said: "On this day, the husband and wife are 100 days gracious, and the lady doesn't know why Ah Lang is like this, is the lady really dead to Ah Lang for this reason, so she is willing to leave like this?" Then you should ask why, right? ”
Ah Zhen was wronged for Qingrong, "It's obvious that the lady is dedicated to Ah Lang, even if he doesn't know how to be grateful, it's better now, but in turn, let the lady beg him to fail?" ”
Song Yue looked at her, a little helpless, shook her head and said: "Don't make a mess, bowing your head is not showing weakness, endure for a while, solve the current difficulties, and when things are done, the lady still feels angry, is it still sad that there is no way to teach a lesson back?" ”
Qingrong was upset for a while, shook his head, and still said, "Forget it, don't say it anymore, I don't want to listen to him now." ”
Yun Niang kept a calm face, and grabbed Song Yue, who had to be persuaded again, "Forget Song Yue, this matter is not the lady's fault, why bother to make the lady bother!" ”
Song Yue smiled bitterly and shook her head, "Having said that, it's not that it's not your fault, you can stay out of it, how to break it up, crumple it and make it clear, and solve the matter." ”
Qingrong calmed down, carefully thought about the matter in her mind, she breathed a sigh of relief, and picked up the book on the table again, the look on her face was unknown, and she didn't know what she was thinking, but it seemed very lonely to others.
After a while, she waved her hand and sighed lightly: "Okay, let's do this beforehand." By the way, can you put away the quilt I embroidered two days ago? ”
Yun Niang responded: "It's been put away, and the clothes and jewelry that were selected are almost sorted out." ”
Qingrong nodded, and said indifferently: "I want to go home first, Yun Niang, you will follow behind, ask someone to decorate it and send it back to Lu Mansion." ”
Yun Niang was stunned for a moment, and responded worriedly, "Yes." ”
……
"Knock knock."
Xue Shao was sitting in the study, opening a book, but he didn't read it for a long time, I don't know what Qingrong would be doing at this time, she seemed to be very calm when she just left, she would be angry with him... When he was thinking wildly, he heard Yun Niang's voice sounding outside, "Ah Lang, the maid has something to find." ”
He thought that Qingrong was in trouble, so he raised his voice and said, "Come in." ”
Yun Niang entered the study, holding back her anger, and her face was not very good-looking. Xue Shao opened his mouth first and asked, "But the lady asked you to come... What's the matter? ”
Yun Niang had a cold face, "The lady has already returned to her parents' house, and the maid has something to say to Ah Lang." ”
It's so neat? Although he proposed the harmony, he could think of the unwavering expression of Qingrong, and the slightest arrangement that was not chaotic... He felt a glogging in his heart for no reason. Xue Shao frowned, "You say." ”
Yun Niang looked at his cold, uncaring appearance, and couldn't help but speak loudly, "The maid used to see Ah Lang treat the lady so attentively, and thought that Ah Lang was a rare affectionate and righteous person, worthy of the lady's trust. didn't expect Ah Lang to be just a trick in front of people! The lady planned so hard in order to fulfill Ah Lang, but what did Ah Lang do? Opening your mouth is to reconcile with your mother, in fact, you are just an ungrateful person who crosses the river and demolishes the bridge! It's not worth treating the lady like this at all! ”
Her father is unkind, and she is not worthy of her mother... That person is the same, she entered the court with these resentments and hatreds as a slave, and she has never dispelled her thoughts... Later, I met Qingrong, among the many masters, only Qingrong really treated herself well, she began to worry about Qingrong, she would be hurt by the man, it can be seen that the two of them get along, these days, she thought that Xue Shao was sincere in treating Qingrong, and she was happy for her... But it turned out that it wasn't! In fact, all men in the world are the same!
Xue Shao was scolded in front of her, not to mention that this is still a subordinate who is waiting underneath, Yun Niang has already let it go, thinking that Xue Shao will punish her, and she will also say these words clearly! But Xue Shao just listened with a cold face, but he didn't have any anger, but he didn't know what Yun Niang's "plan" and "fulfillment" were? How did he become the one who crossed the river and demolished the bridge?
He listened to Yun Niang's accusation in silence, and asked in a deep voice: "What is the plan, what is the fulfillment?" What are you hiding from me? ”
Yun Niang endured the fear in her heart and said coldly: "Why should Ah Lang pretend not to know? You know best how things are! ”
Isn't it going to be cut off with the lady? Now again, what are these for? It's really hypocritical, since it's all said, and she still has a look of affection and righteousness, Yun Niang is secretly ashamed in her heart.
"Make it clear. I don't know. ”
Yun Niang didn't regard Xue Shao as a serious master in her heart, and naturally she would not obey his words. But when she heard this, she was still a little more flustered, if the lady hadn't told Xue Shao, then she must have her own plans, didn't she just say that she leaked her mouth... After she reacted, she was even more unlikely to say more. "Ah Lang wants to know, why do you ask me? The lady is the one who was hurt by Ah Lang! ”
Xue Shao was also silent, he didn't know what to say? What did Qingrong hide from himself? And what did he do? All of this suddenly turned into a paste in his mind, making him powerless and sleepy. The pressure of the past few days came upon him like a flood, drowning him and losing his sense of direction... For a while, I didn't know whether I was right or wrong to do this.
Yun Niang had left the study at some point, leaving him alone.
……
Either way, he should go to her and ask for it himself.
What's more, he wanted to see her, very much.
