Dressed as cannon fodder for a good death, but the prince insisted on marrying me

Chapter 21

Li Muyun arrived at Ling's mansion with a bank note of not more than one tael, feeling mixed feelings in his heart.When he was hesitating to see Ling Yue or Ling Rou first, a sedan chair in the distance slowly came over.

A well-dressed middle-aged woman stepped out of the sedan chair, with a graceful willow waist, like a weak willow Fufeng, supported by a little maid.

He didn't know this woman, so he just glanced at her lightly.

But the woman stopped him: "Li Shizi."

Li Muyun turned back again: "I don't know who you are?"

The woman smiled slightly: "I am Aunt Liu, Prime Minister Ling's concubine."

Li Muyun understood, and called out "Aunt Liu."

Aunt Liu knew about Ling Yue and him, so she smiled and said: "Li Shizi came to see our eldest lady?"

Li Muyun cleared his throat: "No, I'm here to find Second Miss."

Second Miss?
Aunt Liu was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled again: "Then I'll take Li Shizi in."

"Thank you, Aunt Liu."

The guard at the gate saluted Aunt Liu respectfully, she nodded slightly, feeling indescribably grateful.In the past, she was like air in the mansion, but now she has become an existence that cannot be ignored.

Li Muyun only knew that Aunt Chen was the housekeeper of the Ling Mansion, and had never met this Aunt Liu.

Aunt Liu guessed what he was thinking from his eyes, so she smiled and said: "Second Miss made a mistake yesterday, Aunt Chen was incapable of teaching, so she was deprived of the power of housekeeper."

yesterday?Could it be that the secret meeting with him was discovered?

Li Muyun felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, and his face was unnatural for a moment, and he didn't want to go to Fenghe Garden.

But he still pretended to be calm: "The second young lady is beautiful and intelligent, what mistake did she make? It must be a misunderstanding?"

Aunt Liu sighed for a long time: "It stands to reason that family ugliness should not be publicized, but it concerns our eldest lady, and I also feel wronged for her."

Li Muyun was even more puzzled when he heard that it was related to Ling Yue, and immediately thought of what Ling Rou and him said about Ling Yue's bullying.

Seriously said: "Aunt Liu has misunderstood? It is always the eldest lady who bullies the second lady, why are you complaining for the eldest lady?"

Aunt Liu gave him a sideways glance, it turned out that the prince was on Lingrou's side.

She pretended not to know, this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity cannot be let go!
"Li Shizi is the one who misunderstood. Just yesterday, Zhang Yulang and Zhang Lianxin from the Minister of Rites' Mansion came to the mansion in person and revealed to the master that the second lady bought Zhang Lianxin at the poetry meeting to embarrass the eldest lady. Fortunately, our eldest lady There is no shame in having real talents and learning.”

Li Muyun looked at her in disbelief: "You said that Miss Rou Er joined forces with outsiders to bully her sister?"

Aunt Liu said: "I didn't say this, Second Miss admitted it on the spot, so she was fined to drink two bottles of wine. I don't know if I'm awake now!"

Seeing his gloomy face, Aunt Liu brushed her hair at the side of her temples, and said: "Let's talk about a few days ago, the good garden that the eldest lady planted was ruined by the young master, and all the young seedlings in the garden were destroyed. Lanyue Xuan's crippled boy was also beaten and kicked by the young master. We all thought it was the young master who was being naughty, but later we found out that it was the second lady who instigated it. Therefore, people should not be judged by their appearance! This is just a few days ago, what happened before? How, I don't know."

Seeing that Li Muyun was lost in thought, her footsteps also stopped, and Aunt Chen didn't repeat it.

He said with a smile: "Li Shizi, Fenghe Garden is in front of you, you go in by yourself?"

Seeing that she was about to leave, Li Muyun took a few steps to catch up with her: "Aunt Liu, I suddenly remembered that there are still some things to do, please hand this envelope to Second Miss, I won't go in."

Aunt Liu couldn't ask for more, she readily agreed, and Li Muyun thanked her, then turned and left without looking back.

"Auntie, Li Shizi's face is really ugly." The little maid covered her mouth and snickered.

Aunt Liu raised her eyebrows, this is what she wanted!

As soon as Lingrou woke up, she saw Aunt Liu coming gracefully, and felt displeased.

Aunt Chen was even more angry: "What are you doing here?"

Aunt Liu didn't care, the angrier they got, the happier she was.

Gently put the envelope on the table: "Li Shizi asked me to hand it over to Miss Er."

Ling Rou grabbed the envelope, opened it and saw that it was a bank note, a total of 1 taels.

There was a sudden joy on his face: "Where is Li Shizi?"

Aunt Liu touched her freshly painted nails, the red color of impatiens was extraordinarily gorgeous.

"I originally came with me, but when I got to the door, I suddenly said that I had something to do and left first."

Lingrou's eyes were confused, but Aunt Chen guessed the general idea.

"What did you say to Li Shizi?"

Aunt Liu waited for her to ask, and said casually: "It's nothing, just chatting. Don't worry, my sister, my sister always only tells the truth and never shoots at the target. Maybe, Li Shizi really has something to do!"

Seeing Aunt Chen's nervous appearance, Aunt Liu waved her handkerchief: "I'm not as relaxed as my sister, there are still a lot of things waiting to be dealt with at home. Don't bother me, let's go first."

"The villain is successful!" Aunt Chen looked at her back and said bitterly. Sooner or later, she will want this woman to look good!

Feeling more and more uneasy, he grabbed a cup and threw it heavily on the ground.

Li Muyun didn't go back to the house directly, he wanted to pay back the 1 taels owed to Ling Yue directly, so as not to forget to pay the interest again.

He knew the way to Lanyuexuan, although he came reluctantly every time.

In the past, when he came, Ling Yue was very happy. She personally prepared fruit refreshments for him, chatted non-stop around him, and never stopped smiling.

As he was walking in, he was stopped by Hongguo.

"Li Shizi, please stay."

Li Muyun stopped awkwardly: "I have something to do with your eldest lady."

Hongguo didn't let him in, but said: "Then please wait a moment, Li Shizi, I'll ask Miss for instructions."

Being stopped outside for the first time, Li Muyun felt very uncomfortable.He said lightly, "Thank you."

After Ling Yue came out of the pawn shop, she went to the pharmacy and the silverware shop. After returning home, she went straight to her small garden to check the fruits of Ah Yun's labor.

Unexpectedly, the little wolf cub is quite reliable in his work. All the herbs dug from the mountain behind Yuming Temple have been planted neatly.

The small seedlings are fluttering in the wind as if they are waiting for a review, and it is comforting to watch.

"Ayun, come and drink tea." She stretched out her hand in greeting.

Ever since I chatted casually with him in the carriage, I have become more courageous.

"Okay, miss." The boy was less wary of her than before, walked over with his head down, and sat on the stool next to him.

Ling Yue poured two cups of tea and said slyly, "Which cup do you want?"

Ah Yun was puzzled, what's the difference?
Take the one closest to you.

Just as he was about to pick it up, Ling Yue stopped him.

She took out a silver needle from her purse, put it into his cup of tea, and waved it deliberately in front of his eyes after taking it out: "It's not poisonous!"

"Miss, not the younger one." Ah Yun thought he had always been indifferent and calm, but he couldn't take it anymore after being teased twice by her today, and the helplessness of his peers appeared on his face.

Ling Yue raised her eyebrows, put away the silver needle, and drank the tea in one gulp: "The tea is quite fragrant, isn't it?"

Ayun said "hmm".

"You didn't drink 'um'? Are you perfunctory?" She pursed her lips deliberately, observing his reaction.

He had no experience in joking with others, so he drank the tea in one gulp, and said solemnly, "It's very fragrant."
