Madam Linglong was half lying on a chair in front of the corridor, wearing a thin dress. Although her face without makeup was not beautiful and youthful, her long hair, which had just been washed, fell down, with a faint fragrance, and the whole person looked extremely fresh.
Sometimes men like fresh and young bodies, but sometimes they miss old love. Clothes are not as good as new, and people are not as good as old.
She looked up at the full, bright moon, and a tear quietly slipped down her cheeks.
But she wiped it off quickly, showing a stubborn look.
She knew that there was a dark shadow watching her not far away.
She slowly closed her eyes. Tonight, there would be two possibilities.
The first possibility is that Shuyu will become his, which will be beneficial to her, because she was the one who pushed Shuyu up, and Shuyu will always say a few good words about her in front of him.
The second possibility is that he saw through Shuyu and questioned her. This girl Shuyu would not dare to make up stories and would tell the truth. Therefore, he came here, and he came with anger after inhaling the Hehe incense.
Outside the elegant room, large clusters of ylang-ylang were blooming, while in the house, petals of datura were burned, with just the right amount. Ever since the last incident in the elegant room, she began to study spices. She was defeated by spices, but in the end, she would use these spices to stand up again.
Originally, she was still counting on her daughter, but she knew very well in her heart that whether Xia Wan'er went in or not, she would not care about herself.
After more than ten years of glory, she can no longer go back to the days of being ignored.
Fortunately, she had saved some money over the years, which was enough for her to bribe some servants in the mansion.
The elegant room is about to be demolished, and the front yard can't accommodate her. Once it is demolished, she will have to move away. If she leaves the prime minister's mansion, she will have no chance, so she must do everything she can to stay here.
When she heard footsteps, she looked up, glanced at him quietly, and sighed quietly, "You're here?"
Prime Minister Xia's eyes were filled with anger as he stared at the woman in front of him whom he had loved and hated.
After venting the anger, there was a storm-like joy in Wushan.
Shuyu returned to Yayuan and stood outside the door. She was wearing Xia Wan'er's clothes, a white jade hairpin on her head, and her makeup was exquisite. But how ridiculous was all this
She had always known that Chen Linglong just wanted to use her, but she had never expected that she would use her in this way.
She clenched her fists, and a hint of resentment flashed in her eyes.
The next morning, Madam Linglong gently asked Prime Minister Xia to put on his clothes, with his long hair hanging down, his attitude was gentle, and he said nothing.
Prime Minister Xia did not say anything to her. He was very upset about the mistake he made last night. He looked down on Chen Linglong and no longer had any love for her. She was the last person he should not have messed with.
"Goodbye, Prime Minister!" Madam Linglong bowed and saw him off, tears filling her eyelashes.
Prime Minister Xia turned and walked away with no expression on his face.
"Wait a minute!" Madam Linglong suddenly rushed over, hugged him from behind, and said quickly in a crying voice: "Prime Minister, let me hug you for a while. I know that after this time, you will not come to see me again, and I will also leave the Prime Minister's Mansion. As a husband and wife, it is always difficult to let go. I have no other request, I just want to hug you like this."
Tears soaked the clothes on his back, but Prime Minister Xia still showed a bit of pity in his annoyance, and this pity made him make a very wrong decision.
"Who said you want to leave the Prime Minister's Mansion? The Prime Minister's Mansion is so big, there must be a place for you to stay." Prime Minister Xia said lightly.
Madam Linglong's expression suddenly became joyful. "You still want me to stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
"You are Wan'er's mother and you shouldn't leave the house. If you leave, all the speculations among the people will become facts." Prime Minister Xia still felt angry when he talked about this.
However, no matter how much I hate this woman, I still have to save my face.
"I'm sorry, I've done a lot of wrong things, but in the past ten years I've been with you, I haven't had any other thoughts. I know you won't believe anything I say now, but my heart is clear as day and night. If you don't drive me away, I'll be content to be your slave."
Prime Minister Xia strode away. He didn't want to hear such words, nor did he want to be soft-hearted.
Now, she can only be used as a tool to warm the bed.
After he left, Madam Linglong called out faintly, "Shuyu!"
Shuyu went in, bowed and said, "Madam!"
She lowered her head, hiding the emotions in her eyes.
Madam Linglong sat down beside the bed and glanced at her. "You are unhappy, aren't you?"
"I dare not!" Shuyu replied. Not only was she unhappy, she simply hated her.
Madam Linglong smiled faintly, "Even if the Prime Minister doesn't like you, don't feel inferior. I will do what I promised you. As long as I return to the front yard, you still have hope."
Shuyu raised her head and couldn't help complaining, "Madam, you knew that the Prime Minister would not like this servant, right?"
Madam Linglong shook her head. "No, I just underestimated his intelligence. I wanted to help you get promoted. To be selfish, you are someone close to me. If you stand out, I will follow suit. It is better than being alone here."
Shuyu's expression improved a little, "Madam, are you really willing to help me up?"
"Of course. If you and I join forces, at least we won't be bullied by outsiders. Come here, I want to talk to you." Madam Linglong waved her hand.
Shuyu stepped forward and leaned over to listen.
After hearing this, she bowed and said, "I will go find someone to investigate right away."
Madam Linglong took out the silver and handed it to her, waving her hand, "Go, there can't be another madam in this mansion."
Some things will gradually develop over time, and this can also be applied to committing evil.
Neither he nor the old lady had expected that at this critical juncture, the almost disabled Chen Linglong would come out to block the way.
Ximen Xiaoyue has a guest visiting today.
The person who came was Prime Minister Xia’s wife Linglong.
After Ximen Xiaoyue got married, she never met Madam Linglong, but she recognized her because they had met before.
"What are you doing here?" Ximen Xiaoyue asked warily. Ever since the zombie patient appeared in Northwest Street, the imperial court issued an order that no one in the North Corner was allowed to leave without permission, so she was trapped here.
Madam Linglong asked Shuyu to find someone to investigate. Shuyu gave silver to the servant who served Prime Minister Xia and learned that Prime Minister Xia had private dealings with Ximen Xiaoyue and had made a promise.
Madam Linglong looked at her with a smile, "Madam, won't you invite me in and sit for a while?"
"There's no need for that. Just go." Ximen Xiaoyue sent her away and even felt it was cheap to talk to her.
Chen Linglong cannot be compared with her. They have different backgrounds and identities. Even if their circumstances are the same, she does not think that Chen Linglong can stand in front of her with a clear conscience.
If the two of them were to stand together, Chen Linglong would definitely have to bow her head.
Madam Linglong smiled faintly, looking at the scar on her face. "Although Madam is pretty, she is still far inferior to Miss Lin. This Xiangfu is really strange. Even though there are so many scandals, there are still many young ladies from wealthy families who want to marry into the family."
