Chapter 151
On the day of the Lin Mansion's New Year's Banquet, Wei Li went to the barracks early in the morning, just so that he could come back early to pick up Chu Luan, and the two stayed together quietly.
Chu Luan took Lin Jiu to the Lin Mansion first.
Mrs. Lin Saijiu has been greeting guests at the door, and when the elder saw Chu Luan, he came out to greet him.
"Mrs. Lin."
Mrs. Lin hadn't seen Chu Luan for a long time, and she also had a lot of emotion in her heart, she wanted to be a complete Bozhou before, but the two really had no fate. Even so, her attitude towards Chu Luan has never changed, and if she can't be a daughter-in-law, she treats people as daughters.
She enthusiastically took Chu Luan's hand, led the person to the mansion, and said thoughtful words, "Ah Luan, although you are now a princess, I am also half of your elder, you won't mind calling you Ah Luan, right?" ”
Chu Luan smiled, "How come?" Mrs. Lin doesn't dislike me, it's already Chu Luan's blessing. ”
Mrs. Lin saw that Chu Luan had now faded away from the past youth and arrogance, and was a little more gentle and intellectual, and felt more and more pity, but she was afraid of the other party's current identity, and Lin Bozhou also married a wife, the woman was good to her and Bozhou, and she didn't say it.
There were guests behind, and Mrs. Lin couldn't leave for too long, so she called Lin Zhiyi to greet her.
Lin Zhiyi is also married now, no longer the reckless little girl she was back then, Chu Luan and her also get along well, but the incident between her and Lin Bozhou back then is still somewhat embarrassing.
Lin Zhiyi had to find a topic.
"The princess hasn't seen my sister-in-law yet, although she is not the daughter of a big family, but she is also a scholarly family, she is gentle, and my nephew who is full of age, born white and fat, they will come out to meet guests in a while, can I introduce the princess?"
Chu Luan looked at Lin Zhiyi, and when she saw that her eyes were full of innocence, she knew that she didn't take the original incident to heart, even so, Chu Luan didn't have to scruples, so she accepted it.
When she entered the table, she found out that in addition to handing over invitations to Yongning Wangfu this time, there were also several princes in Yong'an Wangfu and Jinwangfu who handed them over.
This banquet did not specifically distinguish between men and women, she sat on the table, with Shen Yingxue and Mo Han on the left, and Murong Jin and Ruan Qianyan opposite.
Chu Luan still maintained a smile on his face, but in his heart, he had already scolded himself thousands of times for agreeing to go to the banquet that day.
However, she didn't mean to back down, but this arrangement would make her feel uncomfortable.
A prince beside him suddenly accosted Chu Luan, "Why didn't Xiyun come with his younger siblings today?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Chu Luan noticed that the eyes of the two people on the other side were on him. She put down the chopsticks in her hand and replied, "Wei Li......"
Now, more eyes converged on her.
It is disrespectful to call your husband by his name. What's more, that man is still the king of Yongning.
Chu Luan didn't care, "Wei has been busy with official business recently, so he went to inspect the barracks early this morning, and he will arrive later." ”
The man didn't ask again, just snorted coldly, "You and Xiyun get along well." ”
Mrs. Lin also noticed the movement here, and elbowed Lin Bozhou, who also reacted and went to the backyard to invite his wife and children to meet the guests.
The crowd shifted their attention.
Chu Luan glanced at the woman, whether she was bright and moving, but she was also gentle and lovely, which was in line with Lin Bozhou's brat's preferences.
I thought that she could finish this meal calmly or go to Wei Li to pick her up, but I never thought that someone would always take advantage of this time to find her unhappy.
That person Chu Luan has never seen it, so he thinks he hugged people's thighs with a slogan of injustice.
"Bozhou, you kid is really a good blessing, the wife you married is virtuous, and the son you gave birth to is also a good blessing, I think your Lin family is going to have a scholar again." The man first boasted, and then sighed, "This wife is still a virtuous wife, it is best to find a woman with an innocent family, if you encounter that kind of messy and restless, tsk, you will suffer from old sins." ”
Although he did not name him, many people glanced at Chu Luan.
As if he hadn't heard, the person concerned continued to eat the lotus seed soup in the bowl.
The man either saw that Chu Luan didn't react, and then amplified his voice, "Marrying a murderous wife, like a yaksha, it's better to ......"
"Who the fuck are you talking about!"
Before the man finished speaking, he was slapped by He Ying and slapped to the bottom of the table.
Gu Yan was busy stopping him, for fear that He Ying would get into trouble.
At this time, He Ying didn't listen to anything, a stool stuck the person on the ground, sat down, rolled up his sleeves and scolded, "You're a fucking person, too?" But an official with the size of a mung bean dares to point to Sang and scold your aunt and grandmother!"
The man was also very wronged, and hurriedly begged for mercy, "I didn't mean you, I didn't mean you!"
He Ying didn't believe it at all, "You didn't say who else I could say!" Yes? ”
Seeing that more and more people were looking at Chu Luan, Gu Yan simply stopped pulling, followed He Ying, kicked the man's buttocks, and said, "What a big daring!" My lady is also what you can beak? What happened to the Yakshas? You know a! This is called true temperament, I like this, master. ”
"That's right!" He Ying punched the man twice, "Just like you, are you embarrassed to find fault with the girl's family and not be virtuous?" I don't pee any virtues!"
Chu Luan listened to the farce behind him, but he was like an outsider, concentrating on putting vegetables in the bowl.
Seeing that she was so unconscious, Mo Han not only did not introspect, but she didn't even feel ashamed, sneered, turned her head to Gu Yan and his wife, and said, "Ah Yan, Ning Yu, don't embarrass him, even if he gives him ten dares, he won't dare to offend you, he said something else." After speaking, he still looked at Chu Luan, "Yes, Princess Yongning?" ”
He Ying realized what he was doing, and it was difficult to ride a tiger at this time, so he didn't know what to say.
Seeing that Chu Luan didn't answer, Mo Han was not in a hurry, and continued to ask, "Princess Yongning, as a princess, you can also be regarded as a role model for women, why don't you talk about whether this woman is virtuous or ......?"
"Shizi!"
Ruan Qianyan interrupted him, her face was a little unsightly, "There are thousands of people, there has never been a law that regulates a woman's character, whether it is a virtuous lady or a true temperament, no one else can put her beak." ”
Mo Han didn't expect Ruan Qianyan to help Chu Luan, after all, they are rivals in love, Chu Luan is now married to Wei Li, shouldn't she hate Chu Luan even more?
In front of everyone's eyes, he didn't want to lose face, so he stiffened his neck and said, "If you are innocent, then you will naturally not be beaked." But like her Chu Luan, she didn't say anything about Qin Duan, she was still ruthless, I don't know what she relied on to confuse King Yongning, and she sat on the position of this princess, and she was not worthy of the position, so she was not allowed to say it? ”
"Shizi is cautious!" Lin Saijiu and his wife couldn't stand it and came to dissuade him.
Mo Han didn't relent, "Isn't it! Before, she Chu Luan was entangled with some guards in Jiangnan, and later bewitched the two princes, King Jin and King Yongning. ”
Chu Luan quietly listened to Mo Han's accusation against her, did not reply to a word throughout the whole process, and concentrated on eating. If it were her five years ago, she would have already put the bowl on the other party's head, she was already married to Wei Li, and she was no longer alone, so she could no longer act with her own joy and anger, and she had to think about Wei Li. Mo Han had a friendship with Wei Li, and she didn't want Wei Li to be too embarrassed, so she endured it.
The appearance of Chu Luan's lack of oil and salt stimulated Mo Han even more, eager to let Chu Luan's psychology of admitting defeat reach its peak at this moment, and he no longer had the ability to judge, so he blurted out, "I really don't know how you coaxed King Yongning, how much blood did your hands stain, even the county lord of Nanzhu was poisoned by you, he was willing to ask you, a sinister and vicious woman like you is not worthy of sitting on the throne of this princess at all!"
Chu Luan's hand holding the chopsticks trembled slightly, even if it was only for a moment, it was taken into the eyes of many people.
She has done many things, good and bad, but there is always a reason to excuse herself, only Chen Chen, she has nothing to say.
Mo Han also noticed Chu Luan's abnormality, and the joy of finally grasping Chu Luan's weakness greatly stimulated him, and he began to speak without hesitation, "The county lord of Nanzhu has no grievances with you, did you ever feel a moment of compassion when you killed her?" ”
It was just an accident. Chu Luan explained in his heart.
She didn't say it, it looked too much like an excuse for herself, and no one would believe it.
"I have no grievances with her? My aunt and King Chen also had no grievances, but they died tragically at his hands; Zhang Sheng and his wife had no grievances with Murong Xiu, but they ended up beheaded; Aunt Qin and the Ye family were even more innocent, but they were forced to die by them. Who can tell the grievances in this world? ”
Chu Luan got up and looked directly into Mo Han's eyes, "I have no grievances with you, and I don't even know the person who took the lead in sarcastic me, have you ever had a good color for me?" ”
Mo Han snorted coldly, "You don't have to confuse the public, one yard is one yard." You have done so many evil things, don't you allow me to wait for justice to speak!"
Chu Luan looked at Mo Han's righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, and couldn't help laughing, "You claim to be righteous people, but what else have you done besides arguing with me about your past mistakes here?" She straightened her back, and there was an indestructible arrogance in her thin body, "What did you do when I went around with Mr. Chang to find out the enemy's situation, and when I was in harmony with His Royal Highness King Jin?" What did you do when I led the Jiangnan Seventy Soldiers to deal with Alchi? ”
"Even if one of you is willing to bring someone to support, the brothers in Jiangnan will not end up buried in the snow!" Chu Luan's eyes flashed with tears, and his lips couldn't help but tremble, "Your life is life, and other people's lives are not life?" Is it me or you hypocrites who kill innocents indiscriminately!"
"I killed Chen Chen by mistake, but haven't you always scoffed at the overbearing and unreasonable behavior of King Chen's family, and now you are pretending to be pitiful and cherished, so why didn't anyone go to rescue them in the first place?"
The audience was silent, and no one dared to come out to refute it.
Mo Han also knew that he was unreasonable, but he didn't want to fall behind, so he turned up another past incident, "But when you followed Mr. Chang at the beginning, didn't you also force Uncle Changyi to death?" ”
Without waiting for Chu Luan to speak, Ruan Qianyan stood up, "Uncle's death has nothing to do with Princess Yongning. She showed a bitter smile, "I also thought about it for a long time before I figured out that Princess Yongning's original intention was to delay the army, so that her uncle pretended to surrender, but he was recognized by King Yu and made a preemptive strike." ”
Ruan Qianyan looked at Chu Luan, the emotions in her eyes were very complicated, there was resentment and helplessness, "For the grace of saving her life that day, Qianyan will have time to thank you in the future, and today she is here to replace the wine with tea, and thank Princess Yongning." With that, he raised the cup in front of him and drank it down.
