Zhen Yan bent down to help Lin Xu up, "Sister Lin, are you okay? It's my fault. I shouldn't drag you out to relax. I'm worried about you after all these years of our relationship."
Lin Xu stood up, and after a long time, she looked back and glared at Xiao Concubine, "There's no need for you to pretend to be kind and stop sowing discord here. I won't believe a word of it. I didn't expect you to be so gloomy at such a young age. Bah, relying on a flowery face to seduce people everywhere,
Xiao Concubine raised her red lips and smiled with extreme sarcasm. At the same time, she also glanced at Zhenyan, hinting.
Zhen Yan let her watch without dodging, "This is all a misunderstanding, sisters, let's choose jewelry first, county lord, why don't we go in and talk if we have something to say?"
If Xiao Concubine said something else, she would appear aggressive. After all, Zhen Yan said that Lin Xu was confused for a while, so he would not choose what to say. Everyone naturally thought of what happened to the Lin family recently, and they naturally favored Lin Xu. .
Concubine Xiao had no choice but to look at Zhen Yan squarely, "Miss Lin just said that the county lord has robbed the husband-in-law of county lord Xinling, when did she say that?"
Zhen Yan was slightly taken aback, but she didn't expect Xiao Concubine to speak directly.
"Zhen Yan and Master Zhao are innocent, please do not misunderstand, the county master, if the county master does not believe it, Zhen Yan is willing to accompany the county master to confront Lord Hou."
It was clearly a disclaimer, but it also hinted that Concubine Xiao was stingy, and gave people an ambiguous relationship with Lord Zhao Hou.
Suddenly, a figure rushed towards this side very quickly, jumped into the crowd, and kept rolling, and as the man took a step further, a foul smell followed, causing all the noble ladies to scream again and again, Keep dodging.
Lin Xu was even more unlucky. A black palm hit his chest and squeezed it twice, leaving a black and dirty handprint, which was very obvious.
Lin Xu was stunned immediately, his body was stiff and he didn't recover for a long time.
Concubine Xiao pulled Qing Le back a step, Qing Yu stood in front of her, but the man didn't step forward, the man ran wildly, and the room was in chaos.
"stop!"
There was a stern reprimand from outside the door, and Zhen Yan followed her gaze, with a tinge of joy in her eyes.
The man hurried away upon hearing the sound, Zhao Zun waved his hand, "Chase!"
A dozen guards scattered behind them to arrest the sudden lunatic.
After the lunatic left, everyone came back to their senses. Lin Xu screamed and stomped her feet, "Catch her quickly, Miss Ben will tear her into pieces!"
"Master Zhao, you came just in time, how could a lunatic appear for no reason!" Lin Xu opened his mouth to question, his eyes turned red with anger.
A hint of a smile flashed across Xiao Concubine's eyes, she lowered her head and pretended not to notice it.
Zhao Zun didn't even look at Lin Xu, who was yelling, and said slowly, "If Miss Lin finds out that the lunatic has treated you lightly, I will definitely notify you when I catch the lunatic later."
After Zhao Zun finished speaking, everyone looked along the line of sight, only to realize the very conspicuous slap print on Lin Xu's chest. They were so surprised that they could not close their mouths from ear to ear, and then let out a loud laugh.
Lin Xu lowered her head and clasped her hands tightly on her chest. Finally, she didn't come up with a breath, and she fainted from her eyes.
"Are there still people injured here?" Zhao Zun looked around and lowered his head to ask.
Zhen Yan's footsteps moved slightly, and she was about to step forward, but she saw Zhao Zun walking towards a certain place.
Zhao Zun rubbed Xiao Concubine's head with his big palm, and his voice was so soft that water dripped out, "Xiao Jiu, are you injured?"
Qing Le hurriedly said, "Master Zhao, Xiao Jiu was frightened just now, but fortunately the servant girl took care of her in time."
Xiao Concubine glanced at Qingle with a puzzled expression on her face, she wasn't afraid at all, okay
Zhao Zunwenyan looked Xiao Concubine carefully up and down, and seeing that she was fine, he said, "Just be fine if you're fine. Be careful in the future, don't come to any messy shop. What if you get hurt? I didn't The shop is all handed over to you, so many pearls and hairpins are not enough for you to choose?"
Xiao Yu heard goosebumps all over her body, her little face flushed, such sour and nasty words, in front of so many people, how did this guy say it
Everyone took a deep breath, just now Master Zhao said that he handed over all the shops to Concubine Xiao
This has not been done yet, why did he hand over the family property, does Zhao Houye really like Xiao Concubine or is it for the power of the right
Everyone was a little puzzled, but Zhao Zun's tenderness and seriousness towards Xiao Concubine did not seem to be fake.
Looking at this scene, Zhen Yan's eyes were completely dimmed, and her fists under her sleeves were clenched unconsciously. This scene was too dazzling, her heart was filled with soreness, and her eyes were always fixed on the man in front of her.
Could it be that Zhao Zun didn't have the slightest affection for him? He didn't care about her face at all. He knew that she opened the shop, defended Xiao Concubine in front of him, and spared no effort to beat him. Zhen Yan almost lost control and clenched his teeth tightly. It was only with a sore lip that she pulled back her sanity.
It must be that Concubine Xiao bewitched Zhao Zun, coupled with the forces behind the right minister, that's why Zhao Zun had to do this, yes, it must be like this, Zhen Yan found an excuse for herself, and it took a long time to regain her composure.
Seeing that Zhen Yan was staring at Zhao Zun all the time, Qingle said that he was innocent, and that his eyes wished to eat Concubine Xiao, Qingle rolled his eyes and sighed.
"Hey, didn't I accompany her to relax, there have been rumors in Kyoto recently, Master Ruoyu is an eminent monk after all."
Xiao Concubine turned her head and stared at Qingle, what happened to this guy, "Qingle, don't talk nonsense."
"Princess, don't get me wrong, I really have nothing to do with Master Zhao."
Zhen Yan gritted her teeth and explained, forcing a smile on her face, "Master Ruoyu said it himself, and I don't know what happened to the others, but I have nothing to do with Master Zhao. .”
Zhen Yan directly shifted the responsibility to Master Ruoyu, and no one could fault it.
Zhao Zun nodded, "It's a joke! What does this officer have to do with this girl, who is so ignorant and gossips!"
Zhen Yan's face paled when she heard the words, this girl's words are a bit harsh, doesn't it mean that Zhao Zun doesn't know herself, they are obviously the closest couple, are they really so unfeeling
No, Zhen Yan settled down, she still has a lot of time for Zhao Zun to get to know herself again, Zhen Yan kept comforting herself, it was all because Zhao Zun didn't know herself well.
"Master Keruoyu..." Qing Le hesitated to speak.
Zhao Zun glanced at Xiao Concubine, "You! You are so careless that you misremembered my birth date. After hearing the news, I went to the Jokhang Temple to find Master Ruoyu. I asked one more question, you should be misunderstood again."
"You went to the Jokhang Temple?" Miss Xiao was startled.
"No, my Lord Hou went there all night without stopping, just because he didn't believe it. Only when he found out that his birthday was wrong, Lord Hou was relieved."
Zhao Qi added appropriately, "By the way, my Lord Hou asked Master Ruoyu to do a new calculation."
"Wrong?" Miss Xiao should remember correctly.
"It's not a mistake, otherwise you and I would have missed the fate for nothing. When I went, I was thinking about what the outcome would be. I swore in public that I would never take a concubine or remarry in this life. Only concubine Xiao, If you refuse to marry, then I will have no choice but to become a monk!"
Zhao Zun was serious, and Xiao Concubine couldn't hold back a snort before bursting out laughing.
Zhen Yan's face was extremely pale, she would not take a concubine or marry another, the harshness and heartache became more and more harsh, her eyes couldn't help but heat up, Zhen Yan squeezed her palms tightly, forcing back the tears in her eyes, she almost couldn't control herself and stepped forward to question her.
These words were clearly what he said to himself before, so how could Zhao Zun treat him like this if he could be replaced by Xiao Concubine!
Zhen Yan was full of grievances.
"Fortunately, Master Ruoyu recalculated, you and I are destined to be a couple in this life, and no one can separate them."
Zhao Zun said again, "You should relax now."
Everyone suddenly realized that it was an oolong, but Zhao Zun stood in front of everyone with incomparable dignity and told his love for Xiao Concubine, which was very enviable.
Marquis Zhao, young and promising, with a bright future, elegant demeanor, surprisingly exquisite appearance, and the promise of being a couple for a lifetime that makes countless women envious, everyone looked at Concubine Xiao enviously.
The corners of Qingle's mouth curled up, "Let me just say, Master Ruoyu is an eminent monk, and he didn't make any mistakes in fortune-telling on weekdays. Back then, he was Master Ruoyu, and he could tell at a glance that Miss Zhao and the eldest prince were incompatible. Even Qin Tianjian's divination is the same as Master Ruoyu's, and he saved Mrs. Zhao's life, so how could they be wrong."
Everyone nodded in agreement, but Zhen Yan had an ominous premonition, her eyelids twitched, and she didn't have time to speak.
The next moment, Qing Le glanced at Zhen Yan, and said slowly, "Xiao Jiu accidentally made a mistake in Zhao Houye's birth date, and caused such a big oolong, which made people misunderstand County Lord Xin Ling and Zhao Zhao. Lord Hou is a couple, so who should be the fate of Master Ruoyu and County Lord Xinling?"
really!
Zhen Yan's face paled, she never expected Zhao Zun to go to Master Ruoyu overnight, and came up with such a trick.
If he categorically denied that what Xiao Yu wrote was wrong, it would appear that he had ulterior motives. Moreover, Zhao Zun would also refute, who knew his birth date better than him
Zhen Yan was so angry that she didn't understand what exactly Zhao Zun liked about Xiao Concubine. It was absolutely impossible to calculate the birth date wrongly. She and Zhao Zun had been together for so many years, and it was absolutely impossible for her to make a mistake. But why did Zhao Zun want to give his birth date? The road is blocked.
Zhen Yan forced herself to calm down, and said in a low voice, "I didn't want to count it as a marriage that day. It was just an accident. If my intentions are not sincere, there is no such thing as a match made in heaven."
"Xinling County Lord's words are wrong. Since it was unintentional, the horoscopes always match. This is a good marriage destined by God, but now it is finally clear. Xinling County Lord's lover is absolutely impossible to be Lord Zhao or gone."
Qing Le was furious enough to add that, from a woman's intuition, Zhen Yan was definitely going after Zhao Zun.
Zhen Yan took a deep look at Qingle, with a hint of warning in her eyes.
Qingle said, "Xiao Jiu. Turn around and hand over the birthday card to County Lord Xinling. I wish County Lord Xinling finds a good husband as soon as possible."
Concubine Xiao nodded, "I'll send someone to Zhen's house later."
Zhen Yan bit her lip tightly, and looked at Zhao Zun with her eyes, and it took a long time to retract, her face was surprisingly pale!
Zhao Zun leaned close to Xiao Concubine's ear and whispered, "Satisfied?"
Xiao Concubine glanced at Zhao Zun jauntily, her heart was truly elated, the haze before coming here was swept away, just like the sky at this moment, the sky is clear and the mood is sweet and sweet.
Concubine Xiao answered by humming, but she couldn't hide the smile in her eyes.
"It's not safe and messy here, go back first, and see you later."
After Zhao Zun gave a warning, Xiao Concubine nodded and quickly waved her hand, "Go, go."
Zhao Zun then left without looking back, never glanced at anyone from the beginning to the end, and just left like that.
After Zhao Zun left, many noble ladies also left the shop, for fear that another lunatic like that would come.
Concubine Xiao's mood became better, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, "Master Xin Ling, I'm taking my leave."
As soon as the two of them went out, Qingle couldn't help joking, "Xiao Jiu, you are really lucky. I can see that Master Zhao looks at you very differently. You should cherish it."
Xiao Yu faltered and hummed for a while, "You flatter him too much."
"Haha, you haven't even seen Zhen Yan's face, it's so pale, it's not easy to deal with at first sight, let's be more careful in the future."
Qing Le was used to seeing concubines fighting in the palace since she was a child, she pretended to be weak, but in reality she was more vicious than anyone else, and she had a bit of resistance to Zhen Yan.
"Yeah, I know." Miss Xiao nodded her head in response.
Zhen Yan sullenly watched the two leave.
After tossing around in the shop, a lot of business was delayed due to the mess. The shopkeeper said with a bitter face, "It's really not the right time for this short-sighted lunatic to come. He has delayed most of the business for nothing."
Zhen Yan glanced at the shopkeeper, thinking about the shopkeeper's words in her mind, it's really a coincidence that this lunatic came here!
"Let's clean it up and continue to sell as much as we can, so we won't be affected by a lunatic."
Zhen Yan murmured in a low voice.
"yes!"
After this catkin was carried home, what happened in Liufang Pavilion was also heard by Lin Fei.
Lin Fei slapped the table angrily, "This evil person doesn't stop for a moment, go wake me up!"
"Calm down, my lord. Sister Xu must have been forced to do nothing. The Prime Minister's House is too bullying. They are against us everywhere."
Mrs. Lin didn't think it was all Lin Xu's fault, it was Miss Xiao who made the provocation first.
Lin Fei glanced at Mrs. Lin, "Don't ask for right or wrong, don't forget that Zhao Houye, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, will set off to investigate the iron ore tomorrow, and the right minister will do something about it. It doesn't matter to the prince, once it gets involved, the eldest prince is a useless son in the heart of the emperor."
Mrs. Lin hesitated when she heard the seriousness.
"It doesn't matter who is right or wrong in this matter, at this juncture, if Xu'er provokes the Xiao family, if the important matter is delayed, we are on the same boat as the eldest prince, and we will all suffer!"
Lin Fei frowned tightly, "If you really love her, you shouldn't protect her. There is an uproar about being humiliated in public. If it reaches the ears of Concubine Lin, it would be great if Xu'er can save her life."
Only then did Mrs. Lin let go, and the maid quickly helped Lin Xu. Lin Xu was full of anger, and couldn't help crying when he saw Lin Fei and Mrs. Lin.
"Father, mother, you have to make decisions for your daughter. Master Zhao is too deceptive, and Miss Xiao humiliates her daughter everywhere..."
"Slap!" Lin Fei was so angry that he slapped Lin Xu resoundingly with his backhand.
Lin Xu was caught off guard and knocked down to the ground. His face became red and swollen. He reached out his hand to cover his cheek in disbelief, "Father?"
"Shut up!" Lin Fei shouted, "I'll go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to apologize to Concubine Xiao later."
When Lin Xu heard this, she immediately blew up, "Apologize to Concubine Xiao. I was the one who was wronged. Am I your daughter or Concubine Xiao is your daughter? Are you still showing favoritism to her?"
"Bastard! What are you talking about!" Lin Fei slapped the table, pointed at Lin Xu and cursed angrily.
"Xu'er, just listen to your father. Now that the eldest prince is in danger, Zhao Houye will investigate the iron ore matter tomorrow. What should the Lin family do if they feel resentful and frame the eldest prince?"
Mrs. Lin felt sorry for her daughter, but she knew the seriousness of the matter, so she tried her best to persuade Lin Xu.
"He dares!" Lin Xu didn't believe it, "Marquis Zhao was single-handedly picked by his cousin, he dared to do that!"
"Don't forget, Master Zhao is also the future son-in-law of the right minister!" Mrs. Lin persuaded, "What happened today has already caused trouble. If you don't go to the prime minister's mansion, within an hour, the palace will be there Someone is coming."
When Concubine Lin was mentioned, Lin Xu trembled unconsciously, swallowing even the greatest displeasure, suppressed his anger, and fell silent.
"Think about it carefully. After you enter the palace and come out again, you still have to go to the prime minister's mansion to make amends. At that time, no one will protect you, and the eldest prince will not wait to see you."
Mrs. Lin kept persuading, but Lin Xu gritted her teeth helplessly, and said every word, "I'll just go!"
"Good boy, I have wronged you." Mrs. Lin said distressedly.
Lin Xu suppressed the strong hatred in her heart, and one day in the future, she would want Concubine Xiao to repay today's humiliation a hundredfold!
