In the regent's mansion far away in the capital, there were sounds of beatings from the streets, the nobles in the capital fell asleep, and a lamp the size of a soybean was still lit in Sanniang's room in the interior of the mansion.
She was reading a letter from Sheng Jiayan from Youzhou when there was a soft knock on her door.
Lu Sanniang received the letter and let people in.
The person who came was wearing a moon-white dress, and I felt pity for her frail body. Her bright and plain face was full of lovable delicacy. More importantly, her appearance is very similar to Meng Qiqi.
But those who knew the two would tell that Meng Qiqi couldn't have such a weak demeanor.
This woman was the second concubine, Zhao Yanran, whom Sheng Jiayan insisted to bring back from Shu.
"Yanran, haven't you slept yet." Seeing her, Lu Sanniang's expression was still light, neither complimenting nor alienating.
Zhao Yanran put the package in her hand on the table and slowly opened it, and said softly: "I saw your eyes turn blue a few days ago, I know you can't sleep well. I made a soft pillow from dried licorice and buckwheat, you Try it, it should work."
Lu Sanniang didn't push back, she took it and thanked her.
"Sanniang, I haven't seen His Highness for a few days. I went to Mingguang Palace to say hello. Others are only inconvenienced by His Highness at this time. I don't want to disturb His Highness. It's just that I copied His Highness's poems a few days ago. There are a few things I don't understand. I just want to ask for advice." Zhao Yanran's expression was like a woman missing her husband.
Lu Sanniang was unmoved, looked at him coldly, and said in a calm voice: "His Royal Highness is busy all day, how can we servants know his whereabouts?"
Zhao Yanran was dismissed by her, her face was a little embarrassed: "Yours is..."
Lu Sanniang is cold-faced and kind-hearted. Seeing that she was a little embarrassed, she said comfortingly, "You can make His Highness happy if you only care about how a student behaves like Qiqi."
Zhao Yanran has a special person in Baili to teach her how to walk and how to eat. She can't have her own hobbies, she can't have her favorite colors, and she can't even show her face in front of Meng Eqi.
Because the prince was afraid that Meng Qiqi would not be happy.
Zhao Yanran endured it for a few days, and seeing that only Lu Sanniang was with her, she couldn't help but ask: "Since I entered the mansion, I have never seen this girl Qiqi, but the prince has always told me to imitate her demeanor. The behavior can even make me become a second her. But I have never understood why, and I have not been allowed to see the girl Qiqi, how can I learn to resemble her?"
When Lu Sanniang heard her mention Meng Qiqi's name, her expression softened a lot: "Qiqi was a little ill before, but she is not yet recovered. Maybe you will have a chance to see her in the future. Yanran, don't blame me for saying something unpleasant, It is your blessing that you can give birth to three points similar to hers."
Zhao Yanran's hand in her sleeve clenched tightly. Why did everyone do this? The prince would laugh when he mentioned Meng Eqi's name, and even Lu Sanniang, who had always been indifferent to people, would soften his sigh at the thought of Meng Eqi. How holy is Meng Eqi, and these people who can bluff her heart and soul! How can she be!
Hearing that Lu Sanniang was similar to Meng Eqi was her blessing, Zhao Yanran kept sneering in her heart. She learns Meng Eqi's behavior and preferences all day long. She heard that she loves spring bamboo shoots the most, and she has such a dish in her meal every few minutes. Everyone knows that Meng Eqi loves spring bamboo shoots, but no one knows that she is allergic to spring bamboo shoots! Every time I get sick after eating, I can only hold my chest with difficulty breathing and feel uncomfortable alone!
Why is she Meng Eqi, why is she favored by everyone
Zhao Yanran's face was still soft, and after a few more words with Lu Sanniang, she quit.
Fang Ling, the maid who was waiting for her outside, put on her thin shoulders: "It's windy at night, and the lady's heart is cold."
Zhao Yanran glanced at her gratefully: "In the huge palace, only you care about me."
Fang Ling hurriedly looked around: "My lady, you can't say this anymore. If others hear it, they think you don't like the palace. Besides, this slave is your maid. If you're not good to you, who can you be good to?"
Zhao Yanran smiled bitterly, and took off a pair of Shen Bi-colored bracelets from her wrists: "If you hold this, just treat me as thanking you for taking care of me meticulously for so many days."
Fang Ling hurriedly rejected it: "Taking care of the lady is a servant's responsibility, how dare you accept this gift?"
Zhao Yanran insisted on giving it to her: "This is my intention. If you don't take it, you will look down on me like them."
Fang Ling only accepted it, and showed her loyalty to Zhao Yanran, and then said, "My lord is so kind to the lady, the housekeeper will deliver gold and silver jewelry to the lady's room every day."
Zhao Yanran sneered in her heart, is it good for her? It's true to send clothes and jewelry every day, but it's not the style that Meng Eqi likes. Even the pair of bracelets that was given to Fang Ling just now was left over from Meng Qiqi's choice.
What did Zhao Yanran owe Meng Qiqi in her previous life, and she will live under her shadow in this life!
Two similar people, if one dies, the other will be unique
Zhao Yanran suddenly had such an idea in her heart, as if a seed had been planted, and there was a faint trend of germination in this spring color.
…
Gao Lan left Liu Yin and the other two maids on the carriage, and walked to Yunshen Pavilion with a lantern in hand. Gao Lan was overjoyed when he saw that there was indeed a figure sitting in the pavilion from a distance.
She hurriedly blew out the lantern, tucked her hair and walked towards Pingting in the pavilion.
She stood outside the pavilion, and through the dim moonlight, she softly called out to the person in the pavilion with her back to her, "Young Master."
The man was shocked and did not look back.
Gao Lan became even more daring, stepped forward and hugged the man from behind.
"Lan'er thought you didn't want to have anything to do with Lan'er anymore." Gao Lan said, rubbing her round breasts against the man's back.
The man's lower body was hot for a while, Zhao Changrong was even more happy, he knew that Gao Lan would not leave him, his Laner liked him! Therefore, he turned around and hugged Gao Lan tightly: "Laner, I knew you had difficulties!"
Gao Lan was surprised when she heard the voice, she pushed Zhao Changrong away, and when she saw that it was really him, she was surprised: "It's you!? Why are you here!"
"I asked you out, of course I want to be here! Lan'er, follow me, I'll take you far away, you don't have to be afraid anymore!" Zhao Changrong took Gao Lan's hands and raised them to his chest, his eyes looking hot following her.
Gao Lan broke free: "What are you doing, it's up to you!? You want to elope with me? I bah."
Gao Lan turned around and wanted to leave, how could Zhao Changrong let her go? Grabbing her wrist tightly: "Laner, you can't be so ruthless, right!? We used to swore eachother before the moon, have you forgotten!"
Seeing that he was very entangled, Gao Lan was very annoyed: "I lied to you! Don't you understand? In the entire Youzhou Mansion, only your elder sister is a noble person in the palace. I thought the Zhao family had a bright future. I was just barely with you, and I was hypocritical towards you. In fact, I am not happy! You don’t even look at yourself, you look ordinary, you have no talent, and you have less money. Compared with Fang Bao, you It's nothing compared to it! You still want to marry me and have your big head dream."
Zhao Changrong was completely irritated at this time, and he pinched Gao Lan's neck with a palm: "You bitch! You have been lying to me all the time!"
Gao Lan kicked Zhao Changrong indiscriminately with her hands and feet. She was pinched and coughed: "Do you think... Do you think I like you?"
Zhao Changrong's hands were even harder: "No more! You bitch! Bitchy!"
He pinched harder and harder, and Gao Lan finally fainted.
Zhao Changrong's anger was still unresolved, and he was panting heavily. He looked at Gao Lan, who had fallen to the ground, with a pair of white thighs showing under her skirt. Zhao Changrong had a bad plan in his heart, as long as he defiled Gao Lan's body now and took the things from her body as a token, then Gao Fu would have to marry if he didn't marry. At mercy!
Zhao Changrong, who made up his mind, bullied himself and pressed down, and Gao Lan, who was in a coma, didn't know anything.
The night is dark.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhao Changrong finally finished venting. At this time, Gao Lan was disheveled and covered in bruises. A gust of cold wind blew, and Zhao Changrong suddenly woke up, looking at the bastards he had done in front of him, and began to be afraid. He also didn't care about the long-term relationship between children, for fear that Gao Lan would be strangled by him like that. He quickly picked up his trousers, took one of Gao Lan's apron, and stumbled away.
Liu Yin waited for a long time at the intersection and did not see Gao Lan coming back, so she took two maids to look for it. When she found Gao Lan in Yunshen Pavilion, she saw that Gao Lan was in a coma with disheveled clothes. The other two maids wrapped Gao Lan in a mess. Gao Lan's hairpin fell into the grass in the panic and was not noticed. The three carried her back to the carriage and ran all the way back to Gao's residence.
Zhao Changrong went home from the other direction, and was about to pass a temple when he heard two people whispering from behind a broken wall of the temple.
"On the day of the flower banquet, the entire Lin family was killed."
"Aren't we waiting for instructions from above?"
Zhao Changrong was startled and frightened after hearing this. He was about to run away, but he tripped over the undressed gown and fell heavily to the ground.
"Who is it!" The gangster from behind the wall came out with a knife and saw Zhao Changrong fall to the ground, looking at them with a look of shock.
He must have heard their conversation just now.
The villain no longer gave him a chance to speak, and a dagger in front of Fei's body stabbed into Zhao Changrong's heart. I saw Zhao Changrong's eyes widen, trembling a few times, and then he lost his voice.
Gao Lan, who returned to Gao Mansion, finally woke up under Liu Yin's care. She heard that Liu Yin was disheveled when she found her, and knew that Zhao Changrong had despised her. Gao Lan was heartbroken, and she simply asked Liu Yin to silence the two maids who followed her, so that they could get out of this matter and ruin her reputation!
Liu Yin said to Gao Lan after giving her instructions, "Sister, Ruan is gone."
