Let’s talk about He Pingting’s side.
That day she saw that Chunfeng had opened such a big restaurant without knowing it, and it was still in Ronghua Street, and she was filled with jealousy.
Later, grandma actually wanted to learn from Chunfeng by herself. It was a joke. Did she have anything to learn from a country girl
Besides, the person He Pingting will marry in the future must be a child of a noble family. Does she need to worry about these things
She hated that Chunfeng, a poor and humble girl, had repeatedly shown off in front of her grandmother and her father, making herself seem invisible in the house.
By the way, she still wanted to marry that ungrateful girl from the Chen family to her eldest brother.
Do you want to insert your own people so that the two of you can dominate the entire Duke's Mansion
If she wants to be his sister-in-law, it depends on whether she is qualified. She is just a direct descendant of a minister of the Ministry of War, and her parents are still lowly businessmen. What qualifications does she have to be the eldest granddaughter-in-law of this public family
He Pingting felt that looking at Chen Lanlan's coquettish face, she was not a good person, so she had to stop this matter. If it didn't disturb her, her surname would no longer be He.
So in the afternoon, He Pingting went to Wang's room. The two closed the door and talked for a while before they came out. I wonder what He Pingting said to her mother
Obviously He Pingting knew that she couldn't talk to her grandmother and father.
First of all, my grandmother and aunt were very good friends with Chen Lanlan's mother, and my grandmother was so partial to Chunfeng. When Chunfeng said something in the middle, she couldn't get in the middle of the conversation at all.
Secondly, my father always attaches great importance to filial piety. Grandma will do whatever she says, and with the help of Chunfeng Niang, there is no need to worry about it.
Therefore, the only person who would stand with him and have an absolute say in his eldest brother's marriage is his mother Wang.
However, He Pingting was calculating again and again, but she missed one of the most important people, and that was the person involved, He Luohua.
It can be said that the marriage was all dictated by the parents and the matchmaker, but they couldn't resist the fact that they truly love each other, just like Chunfeng Niang and Chunfeng Daddy back then.
...
After attending the opening of Chunfeng's Piaoxiangju, Chen Lanlan had not missed seeing her again. She only heard rumors that Miss Chen Jiawu had a strange disease that completely disfigured her appearance. It was not known whether it could be cured.
Of course, these are all rumors among the ladies in Beijing. People like He Pingting, who rarely go out since she was poisoned by Wu Hancao, just don't know about it.
By the time He Pingting found out, it was already a month later. Of course, this was all a story for another day.
On this day, in the backyard of the Minister of War's house.
Inside Xiaoxiang Courtyard!
"Fifth sister, I heard that you are sick, what's going on? How can you be sick even though you are fine?" Suddenly, a voice that sounded very concerned but actually sounded a bit gloating came from the door of Chen Lanlan's room.
"It's the third sister here. I don't know what happened. She suddenly fell ill. Grandma has already asked a doctor. Third sister doesn't have to worry." Chen Lanlan sat on the bed calmly and said softly.
All the gauze curtains on the bed were lowered, making it feel quite stuffy in this summer.
"Oh, my sister is sick, how can she still cover her up so tightly? What if it breaks? It would be better to pull up the gauze curtain." After Chen Ruier finished speaking, she stretched out her hand to pull the curtain.
Chen Lanlan exclaimed: "Third sister, no!"
But still, there was no time to stop Chen Ruier's hand. The curtain was pulled open with a "swish", followed by a dolphin-like scream.
The maid next to her was so shocked that she covered her ears.
"Ghost"
"Fifth, fifth sister, how did you become such a virtuous person?" Chen Ruier was so frightened that she was speechless and said with trembling lips.
"I don't know. The doctor said I might have eaten something bad, and I don't know if it can infect people."
Chen Lanlan was sitting in the tent, speaking softly. Her voice sounded like she was sobbing quietly, which made people feel very pitiful.
"So that's it. It's better for my sister to rest in the room. If my sister has anything to do, I'll leave first." Chen Ruier patted her chest, finally finished a sentence, and left Xiaoxiang Courtyard as if running away.
Originally, Chen Ruier heard that Chen Lanlan had a strange disease and her face was disfigured. She was going to go over to confirm it and make a few sarcastic remarks.
Unexpectedly, Chen Lanlan turned into this ghost. Chen Ruier felt creepy when she thought of the face she just saw. It was simply too scary.
Is that still a human face? There were pustules all over his face, and some pus was oozing out of them. The color of his face was no longer as fair as before, but instead turned a little purple.
It was so terrifying that Chen Ruier couldn't help but shuddered.
Thinking back to Chen Lanlan’s last words, I don’t know if it will be contagious!
Chen Ruier's whole body felt numb again. She picked up the brocade handkerchief and wiped her hands vigorously over and over again. She still refused to stop until her hands were all red.
When he returned to his yard, he asked the maids to fetch water and washed his hands no less than twenty times before he calmed down.
Chen Ruier sat on the soft couch, and after calming down the fear in her heart, a proud smile appeared on her face.
That's fine. If her appearance is ruined, she will no longer have the capital to argue with her, but her previous arrangements will be in vain.
But this made her feel more comfortable. There is no woman who doesn't love her beauty. Ruining a woman's favorite beauty is the best punishment for her.
It must be uncomfortable to have your appearance ruined! Chen Ruier even laughed proudly.
It is for this reason that Chen Ruier never doubted that there was something fishy about Chen Lanlan's "disfigurement".
...
"Miss, the third lady is gone!" Lu He walked to the door and took a look. When he saw Chen Ruier's figure walking away, he came back and said to Lan Lan.
"Huh, let you see my joke, I'll scare you to death!" Chen Lanlan wiped something on her face with a brocade handkerchief, wrinkled her nose and said.
There were only some dense red spots on the small face that had been wiped clean by the brocade handkerchief, which was not as scary as what Chen Ruier saw.
"Miss, you are so awesome. You didn't see the way the third lady ran away." Luhe smiled and helped Chen Lanlan wipe the things on her face.
Chen Lanlan just smiled and looked at herself in the mirror, thinking about something.
Chunfeng has been relatively leisurely these days. When she has time, she goes to the store to take a look. Chuyou takes care of other things, so she is relaxed.
Not looking at the numbers on the ledger that only rose but did not fall every day, Chunfeng felt as if he was about to fly.
This morning, Chunfeng had just gone to the store to finish her errands. On her way back home, before she even reached the Duke's Mansion, someone came to tell her that something had happened at Piaoxiang Residence!
