Chapter 121 Secret
Before Jiang Lanshu was allowed to kneel for a long time, Mrs. Shen asked Nanny Xuan to lead her back to her room, while Qing Ju was dragged to a side room by two servants and imprisoned first.

The female envoys around the main room looked at each other, whispering what happened tonight.

Unexpectedly, before the discussion reached a conclusion, the cold-faced Rongxiu and Tanchun stared at each other, making them bow their heads and shut their mouths in fright.

Tanchun pointed at the two who were biting their ears, and scolded: "Gobble your tongue outside the old lady's house, I think you little maids really don't want your tongues anymore, whoever dares to say a word about what happened tonight will know it in the future." How do you write the four characters Xiaoyudie!"

Rongxiu pulled Tanchun over and said softly: "Don't be so loud, the old lady should get angry again when she hears it."

Tan Chun snorted and said with a smile: "If you get angry, it proves that the old lady is still angry with Jiang Lanshu. A concubine is a concubine, and she will never be on the stage. Think about Jiang Lanshu's pride in suppressing us in the past, and now she has done such a scandal. Can you hold your head up in front of us?"

Rongxiu glanced at her, and said: "Whether you can lift your head or not depends on Miss Lan Shu's ability. If you talk too much, you should be careful with your skin."

Tanchun rolled his eyes, leaned into Rongxiu's ear and said viciously, "I bet Jiang Lanshu deliberately had an affair with the eldest son of the Rong family."

After finishing speaking, she turned her head and walked towards a little female envoy, and said: "Go and have a look at Miss Cheng's dormitory, and don't let any noise spread from her."

The little envoy nodded and said yes, and ran away quickly.

In the inner room, the candles dimmed a bit. Old Mrs. Shen was sitting on the bed, resting her forehead, looking down at the ground, not knowing what she was thinking.

Ye Lingwu held the Anshen incense she had just lighted, gently placed it on the table of the bed, and said, "Old lady, it's getting late, Lingwu will wait for you to change."

no respond.

Ye Lingwu pursed her lips, and said again: "Old lady, don't think too much about sister Lan Shu, you have been sitting for more than an hour, it's time to rest."

The old lady Shen sighed, without raising her eyes, she said: "It's hard for you girl to stay here for so long, you go and rest."

"Old lady." Ye Lingwu called out softly, unable to bear to leave. The old lady Shen used to be energetic at all times, but now she has experienced a lot of vicissitudes.

She muttered: "Lingwu, let's have a conversation with the old lady."

Still no response.

Ye Lingwu scolded Rong Yu fiercely in her heart, and said softly: "Don't worry too much, old lady. Sister Lan Shu was raised by you and is a very sensible person. Even if she made mistakes, the biggest mistake is even more serious. It's about the eldest son of the Rong family, if he hadn't seduced the girl's heart with his sweet words, sister Lan Shu would not have lost her head."

Mrs. Shen finally raised her head, looked at her carefully, and said: "You also said that she was raised by me, and now she has done something disgraceful to her family, and I can't absolve myself of the blame, old lady."

"But who in this world never makes mistakes, not to mention sister Lan Shu was also deceived by Rong Yu, didn't sister Lan Shu just say that Rong Yu promised her that she would marry her?"

"Who can fool her?" The old lady Shen smiled weakly, "She is just dissatisfied with the Lang Xu I picked for her. She used to like to pull a boat, but I disagree. That girl is very stubborn, and it took too long for her to reach her Rejecting the marriage, and now suddenly saying that he likes Rong Yu, his thoughts have changed really quickly, because of a man's smooth talk, he loses face."

Ye Lingwu frowned and remained silent.

At this moment, Nanny Xuan, who had finished dealing with Qingju, came in, and after a few words, she asked Ye Lingwu to go back to the dormitory first.

Before [-] o'clock the next day, Ye Lingwu, who was wearing a snow-blue skirt, was sitting in front of the dowry, while Rong Xiu was combing her hair for her, and the bangs on her forehead were also brushed up.

"Girl, this morning I heard Tanchun say that a tooth came from the backyard and took Qingju away. Miss Lanshu ran out when she heard the movement, she looked very pitiful."

Ye Lingwu's expression darkened, and she replied: "Sister Lanshu, if she really thinks about Qingju, she shouldn't be entangled with the eldest son of the Rong family. No matter what, Qingju grew up with Sister Lanshu since she was a child. Losing a good life is just asking for trouble."

"That's what the girl said," Rongxiu gasped and sighed, "It's just embarrassing the old lady. This matter must not be passed on to Princess Jiayi. As the mistress of the Hou Mansion, such a scandal has happened in the mansion. She must not throw people back to the prisoner."

Ye Lingwu remained silent, staring blankly at the delicate face in the dowry, as if a big stone weighed on her heart.

In fact, Jiang Lanshu understood Mrs. Shen very well, and knew that Mrs. Shen would make this decision for her, even if it was not for the Jiang family, but for the affection she had served her since she was a child.

But just this time, their friendship for so many years will be broken from now on. It's not worth the money, but Jiang Lanshu still did it.

What about "she"?

Did the poisoning and murder of Cheng Guyuan rely on the fact that Mrs. Shen would intercede for her for the sake of love?

She has been in Ningbeihou Mansion for so long, what she is going through now should be different from the "her" in her dream.

When she packed up and went to the main room, she happened to see the girl from the second room and Cheng Guyuan slammed the door, with displeasure and bewilderment on her face, Ye Lingwu shrank back to the corner and did not go out.

Rongxiu was confused: "Girl, why don't we go there?"

Ye Lingwu glanced over there cautiously, and couldn't help sighing when she looked away: "I'll go there later, I won't be dragged by the third girl for a long time to ask."

Rongxiu thought for a while, and replied: "What the girl said is also reasonable, but the maidservant didn't expect the old lady to shut the door and see no one today, so shall we go over to say hello?"

Ye Lingwu murmured: "Wait a minute, let's go to the kitchen and make a bowl of mung bean soup. When it's cold, add some ice cubes and bring it to the old lady. Maybe the old lady will relieve some worries after drinking it."

Rongxiu responded with a smile.

After sending mung bean soup to Mrs. Shen to relieve the heat, Ye Lingwu brought another bowl to Jiang Lanshu's bedroom.

The room was dark and stuffy, and there was no maid to take care of it. The windows were closed and no one opened them. As soon as Ye Lingwu stepped in, she hurriedly ordered Rongxiu to open the windows.

Going around the screen, I saw a figure covered with a thin mattress lying on the bed. Ye Lingwu walked over lightly and said, "Sister Lan Shu, you are still feeling well today. I made mung bean soup. You can try it." .”

The person on the bed made some movements, but without turning around, he replied politely: "It's no wonder that Sister Lingwu can still come to see me, thank you, let's put the mung bean soup first."

Ye Lingwu put the mung bean soup on the table next to the bed, turned around and was about to leave, but turned back after walking a few steps, and said, "Sister Lan Shu has made a fuss with the old lady because of Rong Yu, Is it really worth it?"

Hearing this, Jiang Lanshu opened her eyes, sat up slowly, supported the bed with both hands to barely fall down, and replied weakly: "Sister Lingwu, is this trying to teach me a lesson?"

There was a sneer in her throat, and she said in a leisurely tone: "Don't think that I don't know what little sister Lingwu is thinking. I saw you sneaking to the south courtyard that night. What's the difference between you and me?"

Ye Lingwu was stunned, her whole body was stiff, but she didn't know which night she was talking about after recovering from it, so she said in a fool: "I went to the South Courtyard, but what does this mean?"

Jiang Lanshu raised her drooping head and said, "Sister Lingwu, you don't have to pretend in front of me. I know you like Young Master Shen. Speaking of which, I admire you too, so I rushed to deliver it to my door."

After all, she sneered a few times with difficulty.

Ye Lingwu's hands under the sleeves gradually clenched tightly.

Since when did she like Shen Zhan! ? ! ?
baffling.
