The paper package contains "Acacia Powder", as long as Lu Ying is not paying attention and sprinkles it in his bathtub later, he will be very emotional. Cui Zhenyi's mother secretly gave her this medicine before she left Beijing. In order to avoid her shyness and hesitation, she told her the pros and cons, and explained the usage many times.
These days, she has been wanting to use it, but she couldn't find a suitable opportunity. After missing tonight, Lu Ying doesn't know how long it will be before returning to the city. And this time, His Highness Sixth Highness will also go together... Time is limited, she will go again Can't stand the delay.
In the yard came the voice of her maid saluting Lu Ying, Cui Zhenyi's eyes flashed, she stood up and went out to welcome her.
Because we have to leave early tomorrow morning, no one at the banquet tonight drank any alcohol, and the jars of good wine that Cui Zhenyi had prepared were useless. Seeing Lu Ying nod to her with clear eyes, she turned and went to the main room , Cui Zhenyi felt depressed and anxious for a while, but the matter has come to this point, she has no room to retreat, so she gritted her teeth, walked up a few steps and stopped in front of Lu Ying, saying: "I have prepared hot water, my husband will wash up later. How about some rest?"
Lu Ying gave a casual "hmm", passed her and pushed the door open to enter the main room. Cui Zhenyi quickly reached out to call the maid to bring hot water.
The weather in Beiguan City is sultry and hot in summer. Lu Ying has to take a bath every day before going to bed, but usually use cold water, and the old housekeeper brings two servants to deliver it. There is a small bathroom specially separated on the side of the main room.
Although it is troublesome to soak in hot water, it is much more comfortable. Cui Zhenyi also took this opportunity to bring the maid to the small bathroom to prepare water for Lu Ying herself. Reaching out to test the water temperature, Cui Zhenyi signaled the two servants to go out first, turned around and took out a small paper bag from her sleeve, quickly opened it and sprinkled it into the tub, the powder quickly dissolved in the water and disappeared.
"What did you spill?"
Just when Cui Zhenyi rejoiced secretly and wanted to hide the paper containing the medicine powder, Lu Ying's voice suddenly came from behind her coldly.
Cui Zhenyi was startled, and the paper in her hand fell silently to the ground. She turned her head hastily, and saw Lu Ying standing in front of the bathroom door, and the two maids she brought stood behind him with panicked faces.
Lu Ying looked at her coldly, neither excited nor angry, but that expression chilled Cui Zhenyi more than his furious rage, she pursed her lips tightly and didn't know how to answer.
Lu Ying walked forward slowly. He was tall and tall, and he looked like a mountain in the small bathroom, and he was aggressive towards Cui Zhenyi. Cui Zhenyi panicked and involuntarily backed away from the side of the tub to the corner.
Lu Ying walked to the bathtub and didn't continue. She bent down and picked up the paper on the ground where the powder was wrapped. There was still some powder left on the paper. Lu Ying took a look and rewrapped the paper according to the creases. Cui Zhenyi glanced indifferently and said: "It doesn't matter if you don't tell me, as long as you give this to the doctor in the city, someone will naturally tell me what it is."
Show it to the doctor in the city? ! If anyone knew what it was, she would lose all face. What would others say about her, the general's wife
**woman! These two terrifying words almost immediately made Cui Zhenyi suffocate. Her face was flushed with blood at first, and then it faded away and turned pale in a blink of an eye. Although she has a lot of scheming, she is a daughter brought up by an official family after all, and there are some things that she would rather die than bear.
She didn't know where the courage came from, and suddenly rushed out from the corner and grabbed Lu Ying who was about to turn around and leave, and shouted: "Husband, please stay!"
Seeing this scene, the two maids wanted to leave the main room but were afraid of being blamed by the master for leaving without telling, so they shrank and stood aside, wishing they could become the size of ants! Cui Zhenyi held onto Lu Ying tightly and gave them a hard look. The two servants escaped like they were being pardoned.
With a wave of her arm, Lu Ying broke free from Cui Zhenyi's grasp, and strode into the main room to sit on the grand teacher's chair by the window. He knew that Cui Zhenyi sent her servants away because she planned to confess to him the ins and outs of the package of medicine. He did not deny that he had no affection for this wife from the beginning to the end, but he did not expect that this woman who claimed to be a good lady would actually do something like drugging him. It seems that he still underestimated the courage of the two mothers and daughters of the Cui family. with meanness.
"If you don't want to say it, you can go out now!" Lu Ying's patience with her is very limited, and he will lead the army tomorrow morning, so he is really not in the mood to grind with her slowly.
Cui Zhenyi took a deep breath, and said bravely, "That's Hehuansan." Anyway, she had already lost her face in front of this man, and she was even a little desperate. No matter how hard she tried, she would never win his heart in this life , it is even more impossible for him to look at her with the gentle eyes of his righteous sister.
This man's whole heart is on his righteous sister, that little vixen!
When Lu Ying heard the words "He Huan San", her expression changed slightly, and then she returned to indifference. Such indifference unexpectedly aroused Cui Zhenyi's anger—she was so insignificant in his eyes that even for her Do you feel like you're wasting your energy when you're angry
Cui Zhenyi felt that she had never been so thoroughly despised in her life! She put all her anger on Bai Fuling's head - if it weren't for this little vixen, how could her husband be so contemptuous of her!
It's just a good-looking face, a lowly little merchant's daughter, why should she? !
Lu Ying got the answer she wanted, and was not in the mood to pester her anymore, and said coldly: "Don't come to the main room again, it's late at night, you go back and rest."
Cui Zhenyi was so angry that she calmed down. No matter what, the most important thing now is to persuade Lu Ying to join the First Prince. Even if he fails, at least he cannot be allowed to join the Second Prince. She barely suppressed the anger in her heart, bent her knees and knelt down in front of Lu Ying and began to cry.
"The general can't forgive me for the big mistake I made when I was young and ignorant. After knowing the whole story, I feel guilty every day. I only hate myself for being blind and suffering for the general. But please think about it, general, how old was I at that time?" Older children, what do you know? How can you really have a bad heart? You just want to please your mother and elders, and after seeing what the adults do, then follow suit..." Cui Zhenyi sobbed and shed tears, secretly paying attention to Lu Ying's Looking at him, seeing that he seemed to be moved, he even cried hard.
She didn't know that what Lu Ying thought of at this moment was that year, when Bai Fuling, who was only three years old, acted like a baby and insisted on his mother to rescue him home. When he was under the beggar's fist, this little girl who was as beautiful as a jade doll suddenly appeared and completely changed his life.
"After finding my mother-in-law, my concubine only wanted to serve her well to make up for the wrong things I did in the past. After her mother-in-law passed away, my concubine devoted herself to keeping her filial piety for her and neglected the general. I was useless and couldn't serve her well. General, clumsy hands won't please the general. I know that the general has someone else in his heart, sister Fuling, right? As long as the general says a word, the concubine is willing to work hard to marry the general, welcome her in as a wife, and treat her Like sisters and close relatives!" Cui Zhenyi didn't want to take advantage of Bai Fuling, but she tried countless ways over and over again, but none of them was enough to impress Lu Ying.
Lu Ying is not greedy for gold, silver and wealth, nor does she seem to have any ambitions for fame and power, and she is even more unmoved by female sex... Cui Zhenyi asked herself that although her appearance is not as good as Bai Fuling, she is also a slim lady, and her cousin Liu Zhenzhen is also known as a beautiful woman. Helpless, Lu Ying never pretended to the two of them. The eyes she looked at them were similar to those of the old housekeeper Shi Wei. To be precise, the eyes she looked at Shi Wei were a little more gentle.
After thinking about it, Lu Ying's only weak point is Bai Fuling. Cui Zhenyi seems to be grabbing a life-saving straw at this moment, trying to use it to turn the situation around. This trick hit a big snag on Bai Fuling's side, but Bai Fuling didn't say that she didn't want to marry Lu Ying! Judging from her tone, it seemed that she was replacing her.
So Cui Zhenyi deduced that it must be that little vixen who took Qiao and insisted on getting the position of wife, that's why Lu Ying hesitated to marry her! Now that she took the initiative to throw out the position of equal wife, that little vixen is just ignorant. Lu Ying must understand that this is the highest position that Bai Fuling can get! If she backs down and cooperates like this, Mr. Lu Ying should also express something to appease her...
After hearing her words, Lu Ying looked at her very strangely, as if she saw something incomprehensible, and after half the pay, she just asked: "A few days ago you invited Ling'er to Beiyue Tower, just to talk to her. She said this?"
Cui Zhenyi hesitated for a moment, nodded and said: "Yes... Maybe it's because my concubine's clumsy speech made my sister unhappy..."
Lu Ying stood up and said word by word: "This kind of words that damage Ling'er's boudoir reputation are not allowed to mention a single word in the future! If I hear any rumors, don't blame me for being rude to your Cui family! Your family I am very clear about what is going on, and I would like to advise you to draw a clear line with those princes early, otherwise the disaster of destroying their families and ransacking their homes is just around the corner! I hope that when I come back from the expedition, you have already set off to return to Beijing. Get out!"
This passage was not spoken quickly, and the words were hidden and harsh. Cui Zhenyi had never seen Lu Ying with such a gloomy expression. She was so frightened that she even forgot to cry, and knelt on the ground and chattered.
Cui Zhenyi came out of the main room in a daze, and walked back to her own room in the east wing step by step. She sat in front of the dressing table for a long time before she recovered from the shock. Something went wrong, but he also knew that this time he flattered the horse's leg and completely offended Lu Ying.
What to do next? The eldest brother patted his chest in front of the high hall to ensure that he could recruit Lu Ying. If she returned without success like this, what would the eldest brother think of her? What would mother think of her? Her brothers and sisters must secretly laugh at her... No! Her husband's family seems unreliable, and her only reliance is her natal family, so she must find a way.
correct! Tonight, it seems that Lu Ying is very loyal, and she still has to start with his subordinates. It is much more useful to have them help persuade than her to speak directly.
Cui Zhenyi barely cheered up and began to think about the next plan.
