"My lord, why are you still here at this time?" Ning Xueyan calmly stepped back, avoiding the fan, although she was frightened, but her face did not show, Ning Xueyan raised her head and asked indifferently.
"Why did Miss Wu come here at this time? Didn't she know that I'm resting here?" Wen Xueran retracted the folding fan in her hand, and twirled it smartly between her fingers twice, squinting at those beautiful peach blossom eyes, and didn't answer the question instead.
In terms of appearance, it is really hard for anyone in this world to compare to Wen Xueran. Even a woman would feel ashamed of her beautiful face. Coupled with those peach blossom eyes that seem to have always been full of affection, it is rare for a young woman to meet her without blushing and shy.
But the fifth girl in front of the protector of the country is not only not shy at all, but even exudes a sense of indifference, an indifference that rejects people thousands of miles away. total resistance.
"This is the residence of the Marquis of Huguo. It seems that I don't need to report to the prince where I want to go!" Ning Xueyan glanced at him, walked to the bookcase on the side, casually took out a book, turned around and was about to go out.
Wen Xueran was surprised, she didn't even say a few words to herself, so she was leaving
Stretching out her hand, the fan stood in front of Ning Xueyan, and she looked up and down at this unusual girl with great interest.
But seeing that she was wearing a very ordinary light white dress, combing the bun of a girl in a boudoir, she looked no different from an ordinary lady from an aristocratic family. Her pale face and light lip color were reflected in her plainness, as if There is a kind of beauty coming from the bones, indifferent, seeming cold and fragile.
Under the long eyelashes, a pair of dark jade-like deep eyes, like two obsidian, all the spiritual energy and starlight in the sky, making her plain complexion take on a beautiful childish shape, exquisite The outline of the facial features has not yet grown, and coupled with the plain complexion, it does not look outstanding at first glance.
But if you take a closer look, you can see that in the near future, she must be a beauty who will overwhelm the country and the city!
This is the first time Wen Xueran has observed Ning Xueyan's eyebrows and eyes so carefully. The more she looks at it, the more frightened she becomes, and she feels a little familiar in her heart...
"My lord, is there anything else?" Ning Xue's smoky eyes fell on Wen Xueran's face, and her eyes were a little more guarded.
"Didn't you come to look for me? Why did you leave so quickly, do you want to have a cup of tea before leaving?" Wen Xueran raised her eyebrows slantly, a flash of light flashed in her eyes, but she didn't take her hand back.
What he said was extremely frivolous, with a weird smile on his face, and the hand that reached out even touched Ning Xueyan's face: "It's rare that I'm happy today, so I'll let you have a drink!"
"My lord, please respect yourself!" Ning Xueyan didn't expect that Wen Xueran would suddenly reach out her hand, a flash of anger flashed in her eyes, she took two steps back to avoid Wen Xueran's hand, and scolded.
"I don't care, what does the fifth girl care about!" Wen Xueran's bright peach eyes flashed a gleam, she withdrew her hand contemptuously, waved the folding fan, and people circled around Ning Xueyan, "The fifth girl is not because of me. Yes, so you came to see me?"
"My son misunderstood me. I just went to my father's study to look for a book. I didn't know that my son was here!" Ning Xueyan's voice was still flat and cold, looking at the handsome man in front of him, she couldn't make any waves.
She reached out and pushed Wen Xueran away, picked up the corner of her skirt and walked out!
This time, Wen Xueran didn't stop him any more, the gleam in his eyes twitched twice, as if a smog blocked all his real emotions, just watched Ning Xueyan leave with a smile, with a thoughtful smile on the corner of his lips …
Ning Xueyan didn't stop all the way, and only after passing the second gate did she slow down and slow down her pace!
She purposely visited Ning Zu'an's study room when the mansion was busy, just to check on the spot, no matter whether Ning Zu'an had the military talisman from the previous dynasty, she couldn't simply put it in a conspicuous place. Otherwise, with Ao Chenyi's ability, it would be impossible to check.
But what I didn't expect was why Wen Xueran was still here!
Such a big event happened in the Huguohou's Mansion, and he, an outsider, has not left until now, how can Ning Zu'an let him enter the study at ease.
Ning Zuan's study is not something that anyone can enter if they want, even if Ning Yuling is favored, she can't enter the study room casually, so what's going on with Wen Xueran.
A flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind, the study room without a servant, the half-open door, and Wen Xueran standing in the study room all seemed to indicate something strange.
There is a problem, Wen Xueran has a problem!
Ning Xueyan stopped abruptly, looked behind her, hesitated for a while, but then turned around resolutely and walked towards Mingshuang Courtyard.
No matter whether Wen Xueran has any purpose or not, or if he is like himself, what he wants to find has nothing to do with him. Even if he passes by now, it will not help. He couldn't deal with Wen Xueran.
The dinner in the Huguohou's mansion was very late today, Qingyu came in with a food basket, and as soon as she entered the door, she covered her mouth and smiled.
"Silly girl, why are you so happy?" Lan Ning came over to take Qingyu's food basket and asked angrily.
"My servant heard just now that the second girl rushed to the Buddhist hall to quarrel with the eldest lady, and was slapped twice by the eldest lady. She will cry and make noise in the Qingrong courtyard, saying that she will not marry Pinganhou if she dies. Even the Prince and Concubine of Lijun in the mansion were alarmed." Qingyu said happily.
The second girl who has been bullying her own girl before is also today, how could Qingyu be unhappy!
"Did Madam Tai go to the Buddhist hall?" Ning Xueyan took the chopsticks from Lan Ning and asked with a slight smile.
Ning Yuling's temperament was picked twice by Ning Lingyun, and she didn't go to the Buddhist hall to make trouble. It was the time when she was furious, and she couldn't listen to what Ling said, and she wholeheartedly thought that Ling was Sacrifice her happiness for herself, even if it is her biological mother, there will be no good things to say.
Beating is inevitable.
"There was too much commotion in the Buddhist hall, and the servants in the mansion didn't dare to hide it, so they had to report to Mrs. Tai. When Mrs. Tai passed by, the Buddhist hall was smashed to pieces by the second girl, and Mrs. Tai was so angry. Keep asking people to take the second girl away." Qingyu said excitedly, her eyes sparkling.
"And finally?" Ning Xueyan took a sip of the soup, moistened her throat, and a slight smile appeared on her face.
"In the end, the servants didn't know too well. Anyway, Lord Hou and Mrs. Tai were both angry, and Mrs. Tai was also scolded. It's really great to make a fuss over there." Qingyu thought of the previous few days. In 2010, how the Ling mother and daughter treated the girl made me feel very relieved now.
"Lan Ning, tell Nanny Han later that people in the courtyard are strictly prohibited from discussing this matter, otherwise they will be kicked out of Mingshuang courtyard." Ning Xueyan thought for a while and said seriously.
"Yes, servant girl, go tell Nanny Han right now." Lan Ning was cautious, knowing that at this time, no one would doubt her girl, so she nodded immediately, glanced at Qingyu, and retreated.
Although Qingyu is straightforward, she is not a reckless person. She will also understand now, put away the smile on her face, remember Ling's method, and worry about Ning Xueyan: "Girl, if the eldest lady comes out, I will know from the fourth girl. , this matter was all instigated by you, and I will definitely not let you go."
Ning Lingyun's instigation to Ning Yuling could not stand up to scrutiny at all. If Ning Yuling hadn't been in that situation at the time, she wouldn't have been easily deceived and rushed to the Buddhist hall to make trouble with Ling. If the investigation continues, Ning Lingyun and Ning Xueyan will inevitably be brought out.
If the eldest lady knew that this matter was instigated by the girl, there would be no way for the girl to survive!
"The eldest lady will suspect, but she has no evidence." Ning Xueyan smiled lightly, confident.
It's not because Ning Lingyun is such a courageous person, but, after this encounter, Ning Lingyun has completely stood opposite the Ling's mother and daughter. Even if she tells the truth, it will only make her suffer In addition to Ling's mother and daughter, she has another enemy of her own.
After she gets unlucky, it will be her turn next!
And it also involves her planning the scandal of Prince Li, if this kind of thing comes out, Ning Lingyun will also have no way out, so Ning Lingyun will never bring the matter to herself.
Ning Xueyan had calculated her point correctly, so she did not hide her thoughts in front of her!
The marriage between Ning Lingyun and Prince Lijun was announced that night, while Marquis Ping'an married the daughter of a side branch of the Ning Mansion. It is said that these two marriages were also arranged early in the morning, before Ming's death , not to be rude.
The rumors in the mansion have long since stopped, and the mother-in-law and maids in the backyard are so talkative that they can't get out of bed. Except for Mingshuangyuan and Mrs. Tai's Xiangfuyuan, almost all the yards have Someone was beaten, and no one in the mansion dared to speak nonsense for a while.
It has long been said that the Marquis of the Huguo's Mansion, the Prince of Lijun's Mansion, and the Marquis of Ping'an's Mansion were married. At this time, the people who heard the marriage were surprised, but they also felt that it was only natural that the Marquis of Ping'an could marry a side branch of the Marquis of the Huguo's Mansion. As for the son of the Prince of Li County marrying a concubine, although it is inappropriate, it cannot stand up to the high position of the Marquis of the Protectorate.
In addition, the prince of Lijun himself is not a decent person, who would marry a concubine daughter of a good family, maybe it is for the purpose of clinging to the Huguohou's mansion that he married a concubine daughter.
Of course, these are the words of the Marquis of the Huguo, on the surface, it can be regarded as helping the Marquis of the Huguo to smooth the face.
Marquis Huguo's internal treatment is completely different. Although Ning Lingyun won the marriage, she knelt in Xiangfuyuan for half an afternoon until she fainted, and the wife let her go back. Aunt Xu also knelt with her. , Some things, although there is no evidence, are really too coincidental, so coincidental that people have to doubt them.
How could a person like Mrs. Tai, who has been through the inner court for a long time, not be able to see through it!
But so what if you see through it, if Ning Lingyun is really dealt with, whoever gets married to the Prince of Li County, no matter how ugly the prince of Li County is, he is also a noble prince. Ning Lingyun, a concubine, can get this marriage, It's really very lofty, and the prince of Lijun kept saying that it was all his fault, and he took everything on himself, and the concubine jumped in anger, so he also straightened his neck and said.
Anyway, in a word, he must marry Ning Lingyun, otherwise he will run away from home and never come back. There is no other way, the concubine let go!
Under such circumstances, if Mrs. Tai had to deal with Ning Lingyun, she would have to make some mess and spread a scandal all over the city.
That night, the Huguohou Mansion, which had been noisy for a whole day, finally quieted down. The Liaozi of each courtyard were exhausted and wanted to go to bed early.
Suddenly there was a sharp, terrified scream, which frightened Mrs. Tai, who was about to go to bed, almost fell off the bed.
This sound is too sharp, bleak, almost creepy...
