Chapter 125.
It was late at night when Ning Jing and Su Liang returned to the house sent by Duanmu Chen.
A lot of things happened today, she hasn't had time to take a closer look at this new home, and she hasn't counted the things Duanmuchen gave according to the contract.
At the beginning, the red handprints in black and white, the things I wanted included "a house in the capital, there should be gardens and ponds in the house, ten different fruit trees and ten different flowers; a hundred ancient books; two BMWs; a catty of Dahongpao as a tribute. ; five kinds of rare wood; seven kinds of precious jade; nine kinds of precious cloth, etc. ".
Ping An, who was in charge of the relocation, did the calculations and said that there are fruit trees, but we won't know whether they can bear fruit until spring and summer.There are a lot of flower seeds, but there are only two kinds of ready-made flowers.
There are just enough ancient books, not too many, in the study.
Two horses, barely a BMW, in the stables.
The tribute Dahongpao did not.
The wood, jade and cloth are all in order.
Other furniture and daily necessities are complete.
"Do you still want the Dahongpao?" Su Liang asked.
Now Ning himself is the largest tea merchant in Qian Kingdom, and the Dahongpao specially provided by the royal family are all from Ning's family.
Ning Jing nodded, "Yes. If he can't give it, it will cancel one of today's conditions."
The corners of Su Liang's lips curled slightly, "Very good. I have to find Duanmu Chen tonight, otherwise, with his temperament, I'm afraid he won't admit it tomorrow."
There was still some time before Zishi, and Su Liang took a general look at the things in the house again, and there were no major problems in the others.
She changed into men's clothes and asked Ning Ping if she would go.
"No." A peaceful voice came from next door.
This house is not too small in the capital city, there are five courtyards that can accommodate people, but Ning Jing chose the one closest to the garden and the one with the best scenery, and lived with Su Liang, just like when he was in Sujia Village.
Su Liang also acquiesced that it was best.
On the one hand, it is convenient, because both of them have to teach each other a lot of things, separated by a wall, they can talk without meeting each other.
And in order to keep a secret, the two did not hire servants, and had to do everything by themselves, including cleaning.The yard that is not used temporarily can be left unused.
Second, it is safer.After the Xunyang Ning clan's people were cleaned up, the trouble now is on Su Liang's side.
As an orphan of the Su family, she already had an old grudge with the second prince, and today she has a new grudge, and she will not be able to survive in peace.
Su Liang walked through the garden, left alone through the back door, and went to the Fourth Prince's Mansion.
After Su Liang left, Ning Jing got up and followed silently.
……
During the day, when Su Liang sneaked into the fourth prince's mansion secretly, Duanmu Chen realized that his guards had a big loophole, so he redeployed after returning from the palace.
At this moment, Duanmuchen has not rested yet, and is still reading the papers of the previous imperial examinations in the study.
Duanmu Yi said that he will take the exam this year and require all his adult sons to take the exam on the same day as the current imperial examination candidates. He will personally review the answer sheets of the princes to see how talented they are.
For this reason, after Duanmuchen returned to Beijing, he lit up the lamp and read at night, and hardly went out when he had nothing to do.
Duanmuchen was startled when there was a noise from the window, and looked over with alert eyes, only to see a familiar figure walking over.
Duanmu Chen heaved a sigh of relief, and said angrily, "Su Liang, what do you think of the Fourth Prince's Mansion?"
"Remind Your Highness Fourth Prince, your guards have to be strengthened, be careful not to be assassinated." Su Liang said.
Although Duanmuchen agreed with Su Liang's opinion, he was still a little upset, "What you asked me to do has already fulfilled your wish, so what are you doing here in the middle of the night? Is there anything you can't talk about tomorrow?"
"There is something that needs to be clarified today." Su Liang smiled, "First of all, I would like to thank His Highness the Fourth Prince for fulfilling the contract, but there is one thing that the Fourth Prince may have missed."
Duanmu Chen frowned, "What?"
"The tribute Dahongpao is one catty." Su Liang said.
Duanmu Chen's face darkened, "Do you and Ning Jing want to drink any good tea? The entire palace doesn't have a catty of Dahongpao, but the Ning family may have it! Ask me for it!"
Su Liang chuckled, "The Fourth Prince admits that he really didn't give it, so that's easy to say. Whether we have it or not is not the same thing as the Fourth Prince promised to give it but didn't keep it."
Duanmu Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, "What do you want?"
"We cooperate, and the account must be settled, lest I take advantage of His Highness the Fourth Prince, that would be bad." Su Liang said seriously, "If His Highness the Fourth Prince can't give Dahongpao, then use something else to pay for it."
Duanmuchen snorted softly, "For what?"
"Today, I owe His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince two favors, one catty of Dahongpao, one can be offset by one, how about it?" Su Liang asked.
Duanmu Chen glared at Su Liang, "I knew it would be no good for you to come here in the middle of the night! Do you have to be so clear?"
Su Liang raised her eyebrows, "If His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince is talking about friendship with me, then why not write off all the accounts between us? I have no objection."
Duanmuchen suddenly wanted to smash the inkstone on Su Liang's face...
Chang An, who came over to deliver supper, felt bad when he heard Su Liang's voice coming from the room.Because not long ago, Duanmu Chen said that if Su Liang came next time, as if he had entered a land without people, they would all be trash...
Hearing Duanmu Chen calling for someone, Chang An went in with a midnight snack, and saw Su Liang standing in the room in men's attire, and smiled at him, "Excuse me."
"Do you eat?" Duanmu Chen asked Su Liang.
Su Liang shook his head, "Don't dare to eat it. If after eating, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince says that it will be charged for a catty of Dahongpao, I will lose a lot."
Chang'an was startled when his master heard Su Liang's words and grabbed the inkstone and threw it at it!
Su Liang firmly caught the inkstone, put it on the table at hand, and smiled slightly, "If this is for me and I refuse, I will ask for the Dahongpao."
Chang'an: ...he knows what's going on.It is true that there is no Dahongpao, and Duanmuchen said early this morning that as long as Su Liang didn't find out today or did not come to ask for it, he would not admit it tomorrow.
"Are you going to participate in the martial arts next month?" Duanmu Chen looked at Su Liang with a cold gaze.
Su Liang nodded, "I have this plan."
"If you have a discussion with Chang'an, I will agree to offset one condition." Duanmuchen said.
Chang An thought that Su Liang would definitely refuse.
Who knows that she nodded readily, "Okay, please enlighten me, the chief guard."
Chang An coughed lightly, "Actually, my surname is Yuan."
"Okay, Chang'an guards, please." Su Liang walked out.
Chang'an: ...
Duanmuchen pushed open the window with great interest, "Let's fight in the courtyard. Chang'an, if you lose, go back to your hometown to farm."
Chang'an calmed down and asked Su Liang if he wanted to use a weapon.
Su Liang leaned over and drew out two slender sharp knives, which shone with a piercing cold light in the dark night.
Duanmuchen and Chang'an's eyes were focused.
Chang'an used his long sword, and the battle soon began.
Duanmuchen got up and walked out, standing on the porch, watching intently.
This wasn't the first time he saw Su Liang make a move, but before, it was all in one move, so he couldn't see Su Liang's real strength, only that she was courageous and intelligent.
As Duanmuchen's confidant, Chang'an's martial arts are naturally good.
Duanmuchen knows some punching skills, which is very average.
At first, he felt that Chang'an had the upper hand, and Su Liang was always on the defensive.
Half a quarter of an hour later, the situation was reversed, Su Liang turned from defense to offense, and his moves were very precise, as if he had figured out the way of Chang'an.And although she holds two knives in her hands, she occasionally uses one of them as a sword, and her moves are flexible and changeable.
This discussion only lasted for a quarter of an hour, and it ended when Su Liang took the initiative to stop.
"It's just a discussion, I think His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince should be satisfied?" Su Liang retracted his knife and looked at Duanmu Chen.
Duanmuchen nodded lightly, and did not ask for a winner, "Come here first today."
"Then the two favors I owe to His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince will be cancelled." Su Liang said.
Duanmu Chen frowned, "What two? We agreed to offset one!"
"Dahongpao cancels one condition. Just now His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince asked me to compete with Chang'an and agreed to cancel one condition. This is the second one." Su Liang said.
Duanmuchen was speechless, "I mean, if you compete with Chang'an, I agree to use the Dahongpao to offset one condition!"
Su Liang shook his head, "Either the two cancel out together, or give me Dahongpao before midnight."
Chang An felt that his master really wanted to hit Su Liang with an inkstone...
"Chang'an!" Duanmu Chen snorted coldly.
Chang An responded quickly.
"Go find a bright red robe!" Duanmuchen said.
Chang An was dumbfounded.
Su Liang was very calm, "It's not impossible, but the weight of the agreed one catty can't be the slightest difference. The agreed bright red can't be pink rose red date red, or any other color. It's still a quarter of an hour before Zishi, I'll just wait here."
Chang'an received Duanmu Chen's gaze and felt speechless. Where can I find a pure red robe that weighs exactly one catty in a quarter of an hour?What decent man would make a robe of bright red and nothing else?Is it used to ward off evil spirits?
Duanmuchen saw Chang'an's embarrassed expression, went back to the room with a dark face, grabbed the inkstone and walked out, smashed at Su Liang again, "I'll see you off!"
Su Liang caught it, held it in his hand, nodded and smiled, "I thank His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince for everything today. I hope our cooperation will still be as pleasant in the future. Farewell."
Hua Luo took the inkstone and turned to leave.
Seeing Su Liang's figure disappear into the night, Duanmu Chen's anger subsided, and he looked at Chang'an, "How is her strength?"
Chang An said seriously, "Miss Su's strength cannot be underestimated!"
Duanmu Chen was thoughtful, "Who taught her martial arts? If she had such strength before going to Sujia Village, nothing would have happened to the Su family."
"Could it be Mr. Ning?" Chang An asked.
Duanmuchen snorted, "They've only known each other for half a year. If Su Liang only spent half a year learning martial arts, and he was even with you, do you still have the face to live?"
Chang'an: ...he knew that he would be scolded in the end.But to be honest, he felt that Su Liang's martial arts couldn't be evaluated by ordinary standards, it wasn't high, but it was very strong.
Chang'an reported his feelings to Duanmuchen, and Duanmuchen turned back to the room, "It's a pity that she owed me favors after a lot of difficulty, or two at a time, but they all disappeared at once. Gigi. Forget it this time, she will need my help later."
……
Su Liang returned home with the inkstone, and saw that the light in the peace room was on, it seemed that she had been reading since she left and hadn't slept yet.
She walked to the door without knocking, and simply told Tranquility how she met Duanmu Chen tonight.
"His inkstone is pretty good, do you want it?" Su Liang asked.
The door opened a crack, and a slender white hand stretched out.
Su Liang put the inkstone on it, retracted his hand, and closed the door again.
……
On the first night Su Liang spent in his new home in the capital, he slept well, and got up early in the morning to practice martial arts.
The martial arts arena is very large, and you can race horses.
Su Liang ran a few laps, and when she got back, Ning Jing boiled hot water, she took a shower and changed clothes, and made breakfast, the sun had just risen.
"I have to visit Mrs. Xing today, are you going?" Su Liang asked.
"No." Ning Jing still refused.
Su Liang nodded, "Alright. If you're okay, you can play with Zheng'er."
Ning Jing shook his head, "I have something to do today."
But there is no meaning to explain.
Su Liang didn't ask, packed up after breakfast, took a gift for Mrs. Xing, and rode out alone.
When they arrived at Zhongxinhou's Mansion, the palace servants who had come to present the marriage edict had just left.
Xing Yusheng explained that the servants of Xing's mansion were very respectful to Su Liang, and invited her directly to Mrs. Xing's side.
Both Xing Ji and Xing Yusheng were there.
Originally, Xing Ji invited An to leave, but when he heard that Su Liang was coming, he sat down again.
"Little girl, come quickly!" Mrs. Xing greeted Su Liang cheerfully, holding a bright yellow marriage decree in her hand.
Su Liang walked over and saluted Xing Ji.
"You don't need to be too polite, I should thank you for your help to the Xing family and your care for Yusheng." Xing Ji was very polite, looking at Su Liang with a hint of apprehension.
La Suliang, the old lady Xing, sat down beside her and asked Xing Ji to do what he should do, "I can see it, as an elder, I didn't even prepare a meeting ceremony, so I just said some nonsense."
Xing Ji nodded, "It's my lack of courtesy, I'll make it up next time." After saying that, he left.
Mrs. Xing drove Xing Yusheng away, pulled Su Liang, and asked her to help connect Xing Yusheng and Lin Xueqing, and create opportunities for them to cultivate their relationship.
"Yu'er's temperament, you know, never loves what is difficult for others, but if he doesn't take the initiative in matters of fate, he might miss it. I like Xueqing very much. After she came in, she wanted to be more comfortable and moved with Yu'er I don't stop me from going out to live." Mrs. Xing sighed softly, "At this age, I have experienced many things, and I can see clearly that even if it is a family, there are always differences. Heap it together, you can control people, but you can’t control your heart, why bother? I only want the safety of my children and grandchildren, and everything else is secondary.”
Su Liang nodded, "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings."
"That's the reason." Mrs. Xing held Su Liang's hand and said with a smile, "I always think you are the lucky star of our Xing family. There is one more thing today, and I have to explain it to you."
Su Liang heard Mrs. Xing mention that Xing Yusheng was poisoned.
"I have only one son. When he was young, he was playful and always went out. He met him first. Now this Miao family, the daughter of a small official, is a distant relative of the Nian family. The former emperor gave Ji'er a marriage. He had no choice but to marry him." I can admit it, she was going to break up with the Miao family and let her find another lover, but she just decided on Ji'er, she didn't cry or make trouble, she just refused to marry, and insisted on guarding Ji'er. "Old Madam Xing looked bewildered.
"My daughter-in-law, Qin Xiang, is a lady of every family. She married Ji'er far away. She is good in everything, and I like it too. But as soon as she came in, she found out from the poor-mouthed servant that Ji'er used to be a girl who was in love with each other. , She is a high-minded person, and a thorn has been stuck in her heart since then."
"When Ji'er married Qin Xiang, he promised his father-in-law and uncle that as long as Qin Xiang gave birth to a son within five years, he would never take a concubine in his life. I am dissatisfied with this matter, but Ji'er has promised the Qin family , I know his temperament, so I can only admit it. The reason why the Qin family made that request is because they know Qin Xiang's temperament best. "
"I hope Ji'er forgets about Miao and lives well with Qin Xiang. In the first two years, Ji'er didn't find Miao, and Miao didn't look for him either. He and Qin Xiang got along very well, and Qin Xiang became pregnant with Yu'er. "
"I always hope that Miao will get married quickly, and don't make extra troubles, but she hasn't done anything wrong, but she just doesn't want to marry. His family is still thinking about clinging to Ji'er, so let her go. I can't force her to marry something. people."
"That year, it rained heavily for many days in the north of Qianguo. The Miao family went out to offer incense. The carriage overturned down the mountain, and the person disappeared. The Miao family didn't rush to look for it, but ran to look for Ji'er."
"Three days later, Ji'er rescued the Miao family. At that time, I thought, if Qin Xiang had trouble with Ji'er, I would be the villain and find a place for the Miao family as soon as possible."
"But Ji'er has nothing to do with Miao, and he didn't intend to take Miao as a concubine, but Qin Xiang insisted on letting Miao in. She thought she broke the marriage between Ji'er and Miao, and gave birth to Yu'er After that, Ji'er will not be allowed to touch her again."
"The three of them are more stubborn than the other. There are many things, right and wrong, I can't tell. Yu'er thinks it's his father who wronged his mother, and they are still arguing."
"The matter of Yu'er being poisoned back then, after I returned home, I found out that it was related to the Miao family, but she did not do it. It was a slave next to her who did it behind her back, and the Miao family's natal family instigated it behind her back."
"Those people have been dealt with. For so many years, although I still don't like Miao, I still understand her. She only has Ji'er in her heart. She is timid and stubborn, but she is not bad. Otherwise, Yu'er had been ill for so long. , I have suspected her for a long time. She doesn't like Yu'er, but she really has no guts to harm him."
Mrs. Xing sighed deeply, "I didn't mean to defend Miao, maybe she hid it very deeply, but I didn't find it. I checked everything that should have been investigated at the beginning, and Ji'er didn't save her face at all. She took part in it and cut her off with her own hands. But if there is no evidence, it can't be blamed on her. She and Yu'er don't get along, and they will live their own lives in the future. The descendants of the Xing family don't have to worry about their future anymore. There is no throne for them to fight for. , not a bad thing."
Su Liang didn't doubt Mrs. Xing's words.So far, there is no need to cover up for anyone.If that Miao family is really snake-hearted and as shrewd as old matriarch Xing, how could she be allowed to stay by Xing Ji's side and raise her grandchildren?
As for the emotional entanglement between Xing Ji, Qin Xiang and the Miao family, it can only be said that good luck tricks people.
From Su Liang's point of view, the imperial decree bestows marriage, and nine out of ten it will not end well.
Even outsiders say that Qin Xiang was sent by the imperial court to monitor Xing Ji. There have been conflicts between their husband and wife from the very beginning, and Xing Ji could not predict that he would become a husband and wife with the eldest lady of the Qin family who was far away in the capital. It's perfectly normal to be considerate of a girl who has no regrets for him.
In the subsequent entanglements, regardless of feelings or responsibilities, many things have happened, and there is no turning back.
"I've been nagging you so much without knowing it. I know that the Lin family must think that the Xing family is not simple, and they are afraid that Xueqing will be wronged when she marries. Regarding this, please rest assured. I am still alive, and the Xing family has the final say , My son is not a fool." Madam Xing looked serious.
She told Su Liang so much about the past of the Xing family, but she just wanted to tell Su Liang that the Xing family is a bit more complicated than the Lin family, but it's not that scary.
Outsiders have no way of knowing things behind closed doors, and many misunderstandings will arise.
Mrs. Xing knows that the Lin family trusts Su Liang very much, and this marriage was also facilitated by Su Liang, but there are still variables, and she does not want Xing Yusheng to miss Lin Xueqing.
"Don't worry, Madam, I will explain these things to the Lin family." Su Liang nodded, "Xueqing often goes to play with Yujin, let Mr. Xing spend more time with Mr. Qin."
Mrs. Xing laughed when she heard this.Lin Xueqing went to Qin's house and asked Xing Yusheng to go too. The two had more contact and cultivated their relationship.
There are many blind marriages in this world. The Xing family got a marriage gift and was willing to give the Lin family a choice. In the hearts of the Lin family, it was already a big plus.
Mrs. Xing left Su Liang for lunch. After she left Zhongxinhou's mansion, she went to Duke Qin's mansion to give old man Qin an injection.
……
Duanmuchen entered the palace again to report that the second prince Duanmu Ao was attacked in Huguo Temple.
"Have you found out the real culprit?" Duanmu Yi asked.
Duanmu Chen didn't nod, "I only found out the most suspected person, but there is no direct evidence. If the second emperor brother has any clues, maybe he can determine whether this person is the real culprit who hurt him."
"Who?" Duanmu Yi asked.
Duanmu Chen replied respectfully, "Miss Nian's fourth, Nian is like snow."
Duanmu Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, "What evidence is there?"
Duanmuchen then explained, "Shizi Xing of the Zhongxinhou's Mansion was in the Huguo Temple at that time, and accidentally saw Nian Ruxue coming out of the back mountain alone. His expression seemed disturbed, and his subordinates also saw it. And Miss Lin Xueqing, a girl who was looking for them to go with them at that time, also saw the Fourth Miss of the Chinese New Year, she said that she went to the back mountain alone to see the scenery, and didn't meet anyone."
In fact, these are not evidence, but Duanmuchen stopped here.
He knew that Duanmu Yi had a private meeting with Nian Ruxue, but this was a secret, Duanmu Ao definitely didn't know about it, otherwise he wouldn't dare to molested Nian Ruxue in Huguo Temple.
Duanmuchen guessed that there was no real relationship between Nian Ruxue and Duanmuyi, otherwise Nian Ruxue would have entered the harem early.
But the cancellation of Nian Ruxue's engagement with the prince means that Duanmuyi intends to have her.
But now, Duanmuchen actually didn't say anything, but left enough room for imagination.
Duanmu Ao is a pervert known to everyone.
Nian Ruxue is a beautiful lady who is alone.
What will happen when the two are alone in the back mountain of Huguo Temple?
If nothing happened, why did Nian Ruxue hurt Duanmu Ao?Why doesn't Duanmu Ao know anything?
Even if Duanmu Ao only touched Nian Ruxue, Duanmu Yi would still be dirty.
Even the fact that "Nian Ruxue injured Duanmu Ao" means that Nian Ruxue is loyal to Duanmu Yi.
"Father, I haven't asked Miss Nian Si about this matter yet, should I order her to enter the palace now? The clues are very vague, maybe it was just a misunderstanding, and someone else hurt the second emperor brother. But I was thinking, if Who intentionally murdered the second brother, and the second brother was in a coma, but the murderer spared his life, it's strange." Duanmu Chen said seriously.
Duanmu Yi's face sank like water, "There's no need to ask. That's the end of this matter."
Duanmu Chen nodded, "Yes."
"Draft the decree, Nian Ruxue bestows a marriage on the second child as a side concubine. You come to Nian's house today and deliver the marriage decree." Duanmuyi said coldly.
Duanmu Chen looked surprised, and then narrowed his eyes and said, "Yes, father."
(End of this chapter)
It was late at night when Ning Jing and Su Liang returned to the house sent by Duanmu Chen.
A lot of things happened today, she hasn't had time to take a closer look at this new home, and she hasn't counted the things Duanmuchen gave according to the contract.
At the beginning, the red handprints in black and white, the things I wanted included "a house in the capital, there should be gardens and ponds in the house, ten different fruit trees and ten different flowers; a hundred ancient books; two BMWs; a catty of Dahongpao as a tribute. ; five kinds of rare wood; seven kinds of precious jade; nine kinds of precious cloth, etc. ".
Ping An, who was in charge of the relocation, did the calculations and said that there are fruit trees, but we won't know whether they can bear fruit until spring and summer.There are a lot of flower seeds, but there are only two kinds of ready-made flowers.
There are just enough ancient books, not too many, in the study.
Two horses, barely a BMW, in the stables.
The tribute Dahongpao did not.
The wood, jade and cloth are all in order.

"Do you still want the Dahongpao?" Su Liang asked.

Duanmuchen and Chang'an's eyes were focused.
Chang'an used his long sword, and the battle soon began.
Duanmuchen got up and walked out, standing on the porch, watching intently.
This wasn't the first time he saw Su Liang make a move, but before, it was all in one move, so he couldn't see Su Liang's real strength, only that she was courageous and intelligent.
As Duanmuchen's confidant, Chang'an's martial arts are naturally good.
Duanmuchen knows some punching skills, which is very average.
At first, he felt that Chang'an had the upper hand, and Su Liang was always on the defensive.
Half a quarter of an hour later, the situation was reversed, Su Liang turned from defense to offense, and his moves were very precise, as if he had figured out the way of Chang'an.And although she holds two knives in her hands, she occasionally uses one of them as a sword, and her moves are flexible and changeable.
This discussion only lasted for a quarter of an hour, and it ended when Su Liang took the initiative to stop.
"It's just a discussion, I think His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince should be satisfied?" Su Liang retracted his knife and looked at Duanmu Chen.
Duanmuchen nodded lightly, and did not ask for a winner, "Come here first today."
"Then the two favors I owe to His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince will be cancelled." Su Liang said.
Duanmu Chen frowned, "What two? We agreed to offset one!"
"Dahongpao cancels one condition. Just now His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince asked me to compete with Chang'an and agreed to cancel one condition. This is the second one." Su Liang said.
Duanmuchen was speechless, "I mean, if you compete with Chang'an, I agree to use the Dahongpao to offset one condition!"
Su Liang shook his head, "Either the two cancel out together, or give me Dahongpao before midnight."
Chang An felt that his master really wanted to hit Su Liang with an inkstone...
"Chang'an!" Duanmu Chen snorted coldly.
Chang An responded quickly.
"Go find a bright red robe!" Duanmuchen said.
Chang An was dumbfounded.
Su Liang was very calm, "It's not impossible, but the weight of the agreed one catty can't be the slightest difference. The agreed bright red can't be pink rose red date red, or any other color. It's still a quarter of an hour before Zishi, I'll just wait here."
Chang'an received Duanmu Chen's gaze and felt speechless. Where can I find a pure red robe that weighs exactly one catty in a quarter of an hour?What decent man would make a robe of bright red and nothing else?Is it used to ward off evil spirits?
Duanmuchen saw Chang'an's embarrassed expression, went back to the room with a dark face, grabbed the inkstone and walked out, smashed at Su Liang again, "I'll see you off!"
Su Liang caught it, held it in his hand, nodded and smiled, "I thank His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince for everything today. I hope our cooperation will still be as pleasant in the future. Farewell."
Hua Luo took the inkstone and turned to leave.
Seeing Su Liang's figure disappear into the night, Duanmu Chen's anger subsided, and he looked at Chang'an, "How is her strength?"
Chang An said seriously, "Miss Su's strength cannot be underestimated!"
Duanmu Chen was thoughtful, "Who taught her martial arts? If she had such strength before going to Sujia Village, nothing would have happened to the Su family."
"Could it be Mr. Ning?" Chang An asked.
Duanmuchen snorted, "They've only known each other for half a year. If Su Liang only spent half a year learning martial arts, and he was even with you, do you still have the face to live?"
Chang'an: ...he knew that he would be scolded in the end.But to be honest, he felt that Su Liang's martial arts couldn't be evaluated by ordinary standards, it wasn't high, but it was very strong.
Chang'an reported his feelings to Duanmuchen, and Duanmuchen turned back to the room, "It's a pity that she owed me favors after a lot of difficulty, or two at a time, but they all disappeared at once. Gigi. Forget it this time, she will need my help later."
……
Su Liang returned home with the inkstone, and saw that the light in the peace room was on, it seemed that she had been reading since she left and hadn't slept yet.
She walked to the door without knocking, and simply told Tranquility how she met Duanmu Chen tonight.
"His inkstone is pretty good, do you want it?" Su Liang asked.
The door opened a crack, and a slender white hand stretched out.
Su Liang put the inkstone on it, retracted his hand, and closed the door again.
……
On the first night Su Liang spent in his new home in the capital, he slept well, and got up early in the morning to practice martial arts.
The martial arts arena is very large, and you can race horses.
Su Liang ran a few laps, and when she got back, Ning Jing boiled hot water, she took a shower and changed clothes, and made breakfast, the sun had just risen.
"I have to visit Mrs. Xing today, are you going?" Su Liang asked.
"No." Ning Jing still refused.
Su Liang nodded, "Alright. If you're okay, you can play with Zheng'er."
Ning Jing shook his head, "I have something to do today."
But there is no meaning to explain.
Su Liang didn't ask, packed up after breakfast, took a gift for Mrs. Xing, and rode out alone.
When they arrived at Zhongxinhou's Mansion, the palace servants who had come to present the marriage edict had just left.
Xing Yusheng explained that the servants of Xing's mansion were very respectful to Su Liang, and invited her directly to Mrs. Xing's side.
Both Xing Ji and Xing Yusheng were there.
Originally, Xing Ji invited An to leave, but when he heard that Su Liang was coming, he sat down again.
"Little girl, come quickly!" Mrs. Xing greeted Su Liang cheerfully, holding a bright yellow marriage decree in her hand.
Su Liang walked over and saluted Xing Ji.
"You don't need to be too polite, I should thank you for your help to the Xing family and your care for Yusheng." Xing Ji was very polite, looking at Su Liang with a hint of apprehension.
La Suliang, the old lady Xing, sat down beside her and asked Xing Ji to do what he should do, "I can see it, as an elder, I didn't even prepare a meeting ceremony, so I just said some nonsense."
Xing Ji nodded, "It's my lack of courtesy, I'll make it up next time." After saying that, he left.
Mrs. Xing drove Xing Yusheng away, pulled Su Liang, and asked her to help connect Xing Yusheng and Lin Xueqing, and create opportunities for them to cultivate their relationship.
"Yu'er's temperament, you know, never loves what is difficult for others, but if he doesn't take the initiative in matters of fate, he might miss it. I like Xueqing very much. After she came in, she wanted to be more comfortable and moved with Yu'er I don't stop me from going out to live." Mrs. Xing sighed softly, "At this age, I have experienced many things, and I can see clearly that even if it is a family, there are always differences. Heap it together, you can control people, but you can’t control your heart, why bother? I only want the safety of my children and grandchildren, and everything else is secondary.”
Su Liang nodded, "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings."
"That's the reason." Mrs. Xing held Su Liang's hand and said with a smile, "I always think you are the lucky star of our Xing family. There is one more thing today, and I have to explain it to you."
Su Liang heard Mrs. Xing mention that Xing Yusheng was poisoned.
"I have only one son. When he was young, he was playful and always went out. He met him first. Now this Miao family, the daughter of a small official, is a distant relative of the Nian family. The former emperor gave Ji'er a marriage. He had no choice but to marry him." I can admit it, she was going to break up with the Miao family and let her find another lover, but she just decided on Ji'er, she didn't cry or make trouble, she just refused to marry, and insisted on guarding Ji'er. "Old Madam Xing looked bewildered.
"My daughter-in-law, Qin Xiang, is a lady of every family. She married Ji'er far away. She is good in everything, and I like it too. But as soon as she came in, she found out from the poor-mouthed servant that Ji'er used to be a girl who was in love with each other. , She is a high-minded person, and a thorn has been stuck in her heart since then."
"When Ji'er married Qin Xiang, he promised his father-in-law and uncle that as long as Qin Xiang gave birth to a son within five years, he would never take a concubine in his life. I am dissatisfied with this matter, but Ji'er has promised the Qin family , I know his temperament, so I can only admit it. The reason why the Qin family made that request is because they know Qin Xiang's temperament best. "
"I hope Ji'er forgets about Miao and lives well with Qin Xiang. In the first two years, Ji'er didn't find Miao, and Miao didn't look for him either. He and Qin Xiang got along very well, and Qin Xiang became pregnant with Yu'er. "
"I always hope that Miao will get married quickly, and don't make extra troubles, but she hasn't done anything wrong, but she just doesn't want to marry. His family is still thinking about clinging to Ji'er, so let her go. I can't force her to marry something. people."
"That year, it rained heavily for many days in the north of Qianguo. The Miao family went out to offer incense. The carriage overturned down the mountain, and the person disappeared. The Miao family didn't rush to look for it, but ran to look for Ji'er."
"Three days later, Ji'er rescued the Miao family. At that time, I thought, if Qin Xiang had trouble with Ji'er, I would be the villain and find a place for the Miao family as soon as possible."
"But Ji'er has nothing to do with Miao, and he didn't intend to take Miao as a concubine, but Qin Xiang insisted on letting Miao in. She thought she broke the marriage between Ji'er and Miao, and gave birth to Yu'er After that, Ji'er will not be allowed to touch her again."
"The three of them are more stubborn than the other. There are many things, right and wrong, I can't tell. Yu'er thinks it's his father who wronged his mother, and they are still arguing."
"The matter of Yu'er being poisoned back then, after I returned home, I found out that it was related to the Miao family, but she did not do it. It was a slave next to her who did it behind her back, and the Miao family's natal family instigated it behind her back."
"Those people have been dealt with. For so many years, although I still don't like Miao, I still understand her. She only has Ji'er in her heart. She is timid and stubborn, but she is not bad. Otherwise, Yu'er had been ill for so long. , I have suspected her for a long time. She doesn't like Yu'er, but she really has no guts to harm him."
Mrs. Xing sighed deeply, "I didn't mean to defend Miao, maybe she hid it very deeply, but I didn't find it. I checked everything that should have been investigated at the beginning, and Ji'er didn't save her face at all. She took part in it and cut her off with her own hands. But if there is no evidence, it can't be blamed on her. She and Yu'er don't get along, and they will live their own lives in the future. The descendants of the Xing family don't have to worry about their future anymore. There is no throne for them to fight for. , not a bad thing."
Su Liang didn't doubt Mrs. Xing's words.So far, there is no need to cover up for anyone.If that Miao family is really snake-hearted and as shrewd as old matriarch Xing, how could she be allowed to stay by Xing Ji's side and raise her grandchildren?
As for the emotional entanglement between Xing Ji, Qin Xiang and the Miao family, it can only be said that good luck tricks people.
From Su Liang's point of view, the imperial decree bestows marriage, and nine out of ten it will not end well.
Even outsiders say that Qin Xiang was sent by the imperial court to monitor Xing Ji. There have been conflicts between their husband and wife from the very beginning, and Xing Ji could not predict that he would become a husband and wife with the eldest lady of the Qin family who was far away in the capital. It's perfectly normal to be considerate of a girl who has no regrets for him.
In the subsequent entanglements, regardless of feelings or responsibilities, many things have happened, and there is no turning back.
"I've been nagging you so much without knowing it. I know that the Lin family must think that the Xing family is not simple, and they are afraid that Xueqing will be wronged when she marries. Regarding this, please rest assured. I am still alive, and the Xing family has the final say , My son is not a fool." Madam Xing looked serious.
She told Su Liang so much about the past of the Xing family, but she just wanted to tell Su Liang that the Xing family is a bit more complicated than the Lin family, but it's not that scary.
Outsiders have no way of knowing things behind closed doors, and many misunderstandings will arise.
Mrs. Xing knows that the Lin family trusts Su Liang very much, and this marriage was also facilitated by Su Liang, but there are still variables, and she does not want Xing Yusheng to miss Lin Xueqing.
"Don't worry, Madam, I will explain these things to the Lin family." Su Liang nodded, "Xueqing often goes to play with Yujin, let Mr. Xing spend more time with Mr. Qin."
Mrs. Xing laughed when she heard this.Lin Xueqing went to Qin's house and asked Xing Yusheng to go too. The two had more contact and cultivated their relationship.
There are many blind marriages in this world. The Xing family got a marriage gift and was willing to give the Lin family a choice. In the hearts of the Lin family, it was already a big plus.
Mrs. Xing left Su Liang for lunch. After she left Zhongxinhou's mansion, she went to Duke Qin's mansion to give old man Qin an injection.
……
Duanmuchen entered the palace again to report that the second prince Duanmu Ao was attacked in Huguo Temple.
"Have you found out the real culprit?" Duanmu Yi asked.
Duanmu Chen didn't nod, "I only found out the most suspected person, but there is no direct evidence. If the second emperor brother has any clues, maybe he can determine whether this person is the real culprit who hurt him."
"Who?" Duanmu Yi asked.
Duanmu Chen replied respectfully, "Miss Nian's fourth, Nian is like snow."
Duanmu Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, "What evidence is there?"
Duanmuchen then explained, "Shizi Xing of the Zhongxinhou's Mansion was in the Huguo Temple at that time, and accidentally saw Nian Ruxue coming out of the back mountain alone. His expression seemed disturbed, and his subordinates also saw it. And Miss Lin Xueqing, a girl who was looking for them to go with them at that time, also saw the Fourth Miss of the Chinese New Year, she said that she went to the back mountain alone to see the scenery, and didn't meet anyone."
In fact, these are not evidence, but Duanmuchen stopped here.
He knew that Duanmu Yi had a private meeting with Nian Ruxue, but this was a secret, Duanmu Ao definitely didn't know about it, otherwise he wouldn't dare to molested Nian Ruxue in Huguo Temple.
Duanmuchen guessed that there was no real relationship between Nian Ruxue and Duanmuyi, otherwise Nian Ruxue would have entered the harem early.
But the cancellation of Nian Ruxue's engagement with the prince means that Duanmuyi intends to have her.
But now, Duanmuchen actually didn't say anything, but left enough room for imagination.
Duanmu Ao is a pervert known to everyone.
Nian Ruxue is a beautiful lady who is alone.
What will happen when the two are alone in the back mountain of Huguo Temple?
If nothing happened, why did Nian Ruxue hurt Duanmu Ao?Why doesn't Duanmu Ao know anything?
Even if Duanmu Ao only touched Nian Ruxue, Duanmu Yi would still be dirty.
Even the fact that "Nian Ruxue injured Duanmu Ao" means that Nian Ruxue is loyal to Duanmu Yi.
"Father, I haven't asked Miss Nian Si about this matter yet, should I order her to enter the palace now? The clues are very vague, maybe it was just a misunderstanding, and someone else hurt the second emperor brother. But I was thinking, if Who intentionally murdered the second brother, and the second brother was in a coma, but the murderer spared his life, it's strange." Duanmu Chen said seriously.
Duanmu Yi's face sank like water, "There's no need to ask. That's the end of this matter."
Duanmu Chen nodded, "Yes."
"Draft the decree, Nian Ruxue bestows a marriage on the second child as a side concubine. You come to Nian's house today and deliver the marriage decree." Duanmuyi said coldly.
Duanmu Chen looked surprised, and then narrowed his eyes and said, "Yes, father."
