married daughter

Chapter 278 Chapter 309~310 Collection of Cruel and Merciless
It was only at this moment that Ruan Yunting really felt relieved. Fortunately, he was fine. If something happened to Jun Lanzhou, she would never feel at ease in this life.

Withdrawing the hand held by him and taking a few steps back, Ruan Yunting adjusted her mood, hid the joy and sorrow just now under a smile, and returned to her usual steady appearance.

"You say you want to fight, but you can't really fight. It's just that the scar on your face..." You had a beautiful face, but you ruined it to save her. Before, you were worried about his life, but now you start to feel guilty for his disfigurement .

"Men, you care so much about your face. It's better to have multiple scars. I always think your face is too feminine, so it looks more masculine. On the contrary, it's the wound on your wrist. I've always felt sorry for it."

"If you say you're not happy, it's me."

While the two were saying goodbye, Joshua and Jager had already arrived.

"Bert, so you and Miss Ruan are old acquaintances." Joshua said with a smile.

Jun Lanzhou nodded, "Yes, we have known each other for a long time."

"It seems that you should be acquainted. Your appearance, in the words of Liang Guoren, is called 'people are divided by groups'."

Ruan Yunting smiled when she heard the words, and she was very interested in the name "Bert", Jun Lanzhou became what foreigners call a small boat.

Jun Lanzhou looked at the sky and said, "I'll take Miss Ruan back first. It's getting late."

"The night has just begun." Joshua spread his hands, remembering Liang Guo's rules, shook his head and said regretfully, "In this case, Miss Ruan will see you some other day. Don't forget that you promised me the score, and what you played today of."

"I will send someone to bring the score." Ruan Yunting looked at the five-line score placed on the harpsichord, and said, "I will write the score like that."

"That couldn't be better." Jager looked at Ruan Yunting appreciatively: "If there is a chance, I really hope to have a long talk with Miss Ruan. You are simply a beautiful and elegant mystery."

"It's not a mystery, but I happen to know someone who has been to Dayi before and is familiar with the rhythm of your country. It's getting late, so I'm leaving."

"Miss Ruan, go slowly."

The two parties said goodbye politely, and Ruan Yunting asked Chanjuan to take the servants who followed the carriage one step ahead, and walked side by side with Jun Lanzhou about ten feet away from the carriage.It was a cold snowy night, and she shrank her face into her neckline again. The white mist between her breaths fell on her face, which was damp and cold.

"How did you get to the foreigner church?"

"Leaving Xu's house that day, I didn't know how to get to the eastern suburbs. I was too weak and passed out. They rescued me. After I woke up, I simply stayed."

Jun Lanzhou said it lightly, but Ruan Yunting could understand the predicament and danger at that time. Jun Lanzhou was at ease outside, but she was involved in right and wrong again because of her affairs. How could she not feel guilty.

Jun Lanzhou slowed down to match her speed, and by looking at Ruan Yunting's expression, she could vaguely guess what she was thinking.

"You don't have to think too much. The most dangerous place is the safest place. I'm safe staying here."

"But I heard that the church was built on the orders of the emperor. If you accidentally show your presence and let the emperor know that you are here, disobedience will be a serious crime of beheading."

Ruan Yunting's worries were not unreasonable. Jun Lanzhou knew that she cared about herself, and explained: "At first I thought the same way, and I left when the preparations were not right. But after observing and inquiring, I found that although the emperor ordered the building of the church, it is not right But here it seems that they are not so attentive. During this period of time, I have been wandering outside with my master, and I have seen the world. I also know that the current religions in Liang Guo include Buddhism and Taoism, but the number of believers in these two sects is far less than that of Xiuyan Sect. The Xiuyan Sect worships the Empress Xiuyan, not only in Daliang Kingdom, but also in Southern Chu Kingdom and Xiwu Kingdom. You also know that religion affects the hearts of the people. I guess the emperor agreed to introduce the sect of Dayi Kingdom, hoping to transfer it Get the people's attention, don't let the Xiuyan Sect continue to expand."

Jun Lanzhou is extremely smart, and Ruan Yunting knew it since she was born. Unexpectedly, he observed and thought about so many issues in a few days, and said admiringly: "You are thoughtful, if you think you are fine, you should be fine, but you also have to be alert. Some, if you find something is wrong, leave immediately.”

"I can save it." Jun Lanzhou recalled Chanjuan's words just now, and asked worriedly: "Chanjuan said, you fell out with Mrs. Dai? Is it true?"

Ruan Yunting didn't expect him to ask this question, and said frankly: "Chanjuan is inevitably exaggerating, how is it possible to fall out. It's just that there are some things that are clear. Some things are clear, so it's not as good as when everything is beautiful. But Master Xiao Dai has always been very kind to me, so you don't have to worry."

"Is that so..." Jun Lanzhou was silent.

"Yes, if you have different opinions, it's not really a falling out."

Jun Lanzhou nodded, Ruan Yunting is Dai Ming's fiancée, he has no right to comment on the affairs between the two of them, but he knows her sometimes emotional temperament.After thinking about it, I still couldn't help telling: "Ting'er, you have to remember that you must put your own safety and personal interests first in everything from now on. No one in this world can be relied on for a long time. You Learn to make yourself stronger."

"Yeah." Ruan Yunting looked down at the hem of her skirt that was exposed outside the fox fur when she was walking.

"When you are not capable enough, you have to learn to be patient and to cater. Whether it is money or connections, you need to put in more effort than ordinary people to maintain, and you must constantly improve yourself. What is more important is to hide your strength and bide your time. Only those who know how to sting Only by lying down can you protect yourself." Jun Lanzhou spoke earnestly, and what he said was purely based on experience, "Moreover, the most important thing is that you have to change your perception of people."

"Cognition of people?"

"Yes." Jun Lanzhou let out a long breath with a smile, the white mist moistened his cheeks in front of him, and his deep voice also carried some gentle persuasiveness: "Although you and I were born at the bottom, but our understanding of human nature is far from perfect." It’s not the same, I think people are bad, selfish, greedy, nasty, and exploited, these are the most common things in my eyes, so I won’t be surprised to see ungrateful, treacherous things, these can’t hurt me heart. You are different."

Jun Lanzhou looked at Ruan Yunting, from his angle, he could only see the top of Ruan Yunting's head wearing a sable fur hood: "You think too well of people, you are kind, loyal, friendly, and know how to repay...you Everyone thinks it is a quality that everyone must have, so when you encounter the jealous frame of your relatives, the betrayal of your subordinates, and the mercenary of your elders, you will be sad, sad, and even feel cold-hearted. Tinger, these are just the most human nature. The humbleness is just the back of the peacock's tail, you should know it."

"Lan Zhou, I know, I'm too stupid." Thinking about it, she was really a failure, she had already worked hard for the second time, and she was still unsatisfactory in her actions.

"You are not stupid. On the contrary, you are very spiritual. You are just too naive, kind and soft-hearted." Jun Lanzhou smiled and said, "You have all these best qualities, but it is not a good thing for you. That day Xiaodai My lord knows about me, is it the prudent girl in your room who informed me?"

"How do you know?"

"That girl of yours always looks at me with flickering eyes, and when they talk about Mrs. Dai in private, her expression can't hide her shyness and yearning. It's the eyes of a woman who loves a man. Women tend to be emotional, in order to please The person you like can't do anything."

Ruan Yunting nodded convincingly: "Yes, but Hongdou may also have a factor of thinking about my boudoir reputation."

"Yes. Maybe she also thought about you, but you are sad again?"

Ruan Yunting smiled wryly and nodded: "Lan Zhou, you can imagine the difficulty of living in the Xu family with brother Lan. It is not easy to cultivate a confidant in our position. Hongdou is loyal to me. I had a fever in the middle of the night and needed medicine. She broke into the West Garden regardless of the gate control, and was arrested by the third wife and punished severely without any complaints. From then on, I knew that she really treated me well. But, This time, perhaps for my reputation, or to please Mrs. Dai, she did something that put you in danger, I find it hard to accept."

"Look, what you said just now is still thinking about others. She informed you and caused Mr. Dai to quarrel with you. What you should consider is your own situation, not my safety. Ting'er , no one loves you, you have to love yourself more, no one thinks for you, you have to think more for yourself. You should see clearly that no one in this world can accompany you to the end. You are alone. It is better to be kind to others than to be kind to others and expect others to reciprocate. In everything, think about yourself first, and then others. As for relying on, you don’t trust anyone, understand? ?”

"Even you and brother Xiao can't believe it?" Ruan Yunting stopped and looked up at him with her head tilted.

Jun Lanzhou nodded seriously: ""Yes, when necessary, you don't trust any of us, not even Brother Lan, you have to rely on yourself. "

Can she say that Lan Zhou thinks too badly of others?But Ruan Yunting understood that what Jun Lanzhou said was right. After struggling among the crowd, Jun Lanzhou was able to become the young master's personal attendant from a beggar by her own ability, it was all due to her real skills. That set is far more practical than her incomplete understanding of this society.

After saying goodbye to Jun Lanzhou, Ruan Yunting was still thinking about what he just said along the way.The depression that lasted for several days was relieved now, and the worry hanging in her heart was finally let go, and Ruan Yunting smiled more.

After returning to the Jingsi Garden, just after entering the door, Zhao Linmu's family said that Luo Shimin had gas in her fetus, and the old lady and the ladies were all alarmed.

Ruan Yunting's heart skipped a beat when she heard it, she's all right, how could she get pregnant?Before he even had time to change his clothes, he hurried to Famous Residence.

Today is the Empress Dowager's birthday, and there is a banquet in the palace. The third master, the second master, the fourth master, and the sixth master are all attending the banquet in the palace now.When Ruan Yunting arrived at Famous Residence, Xu Chengming hadn't come back yet.The old lady, the eldest wife, the second wife and the third wife had just gone back after seeing Luo Shimin.At the moment, the main room of Famous House is very quiet.

Ruan Yunting handed the fox fur to the girl, turned around the screen and entered the dormitory, seeing Luo Shimin lying on the warm kang, her heart skipped a beat.Luo Shimin was covered with a red brocade quilt, like a cloud of ink spreading on the red pillow, her face was as pale as paper.

"Shi Min, how are you?!" Ruan Yunting rushed to Luo Shimin's side, "Have you seen the doctor? Do you want me to invite the doctor again? Your complexion is too bad."

Luo Shimin opened her eyes, but she was not dying as Ruan Yunting had expected just now, the pupils in her almond eyes were dark, as if hiding two clusters of flames, looking at her like this, there was nothing wrong with her body, but her mood was very wrong.Ruan Yunting vaguely guessed what might have happened, and asked suspiciously:
"Shimin, what's wrong with you?"

"Ting'er." Luo Shimin sat up slowly, and Dai Yun immediately stuffed a soft pillow behind her for her to lean on.

Holding Ruan Yunting's hand, Luo Shimin was extremely emotional, gnashing her teeth with some fear: "Today, I almost lost my child."

"What? I was fine when we met in the afternoon. How could this be?"

"I'm very careful, but I can't help but someone is framed, it's all that bitch Zi Fu!"

Luo Shimin is a well-educated lady, gentle and courteous, kind and stable on weekdays, even when she is angry, at most she will be glanced at by a white person, and when she opens her mouth to swear at others?Ruan Yunting knew that this time something must have happened.

"What's wrong with Zifu? She pushed you?" Ruan Yunting guessed that this direct approach was more in line with the character of the third wife and the people she trained in the room.

Luo Shimin nodded and shook her head again, and said: "It's worse than that. She actually attracted the wolfhounds from the backyard to bite me. What I'm most afraid of are the wolfhounds. I almost fainted from the fright! The medicine you gave me, I hesitate Indecision has always been useless, and I provided her with good food and drink. Unexpectedly, she became even worse today. When Fourth Master went to her room, I never gave her a hard time. That's also a trace of my ancestor, she let the dog bite me and I fell when I was dodging, if it wasn't for my good health earlier, this child would have lost."

Luo Shimin spoke very fast, and said: "The most hateful thing is that she still acts weak and innocent in front of old ladies and wives, it's like I let the dog bite me myself, and took the opportunity to wrong her The old lady severely punished the servant in charge of guarding the wolf dog in the backyard, saying that she was venting her anger on me. But anyone with a discerning eye knows that Zifu did this. Tinger, I am pregnant with the flesh and blood of the Xu family, old lady It doesn't matter if the wives don't feel sorry for me, don't they feel sorry for the flesh and blood of Xu's family? They can't trust my character, what have they never done, how can they suspect that I did it? Then Zifu will only be in front of his wife in the next day Playing tricks, returning to Fame House, when did you have more than half respect for me? Zifu came out of the third wife's house. Could it be that the third wife doesn't understand her temper at all? At this time, she doesn't know how to say it for me, a daughter-in-law. Words!"

Luo Shimin was probably very angry. Ever since Ruan Yunting met her, she only knew that she was a typical lady. She never spoke much, let alone glared like this. Now she is obviously out of control because of her anger. Emotions, it can be seen that Zi Fu's scheme is vicious.

"Shi Min, it's so hard for the child to be fine. If you get angry and move your baby, wouldn't the gain outweigh the loss? That is the real way to make loved ones hurt and enemies happy."

Luo Shimin's chest heaved violently, and she also knew that what Ruan Yunting said was right, so she suppressed her anger and said, "But I just can't get angry, and she won't be reconciled if I don't deal with her!"

As soon as the words fell, there was a rush of footsteps outside, the door curtain was lifted, and the cold wind poured in along the gap opened by the plywood door curtain. Before she could see the people in the room, Ms. Miao said, "Grandma, what are you doing?" I bought it back!" After saying that, she looked at Ruan Yunting and felt that she had done something wrong.hesitated for a moment.

Luo Shimin said: "Ting'er is not an outsider, so you don't need to avoid her. Mother Miao, you and Dai Yun go down first, our sisters have something to say. Let's put the medicine on hold first."

"Yes."

Mother Miao and Dai Yun looked at each other, as if they were discussing whether Ruan Yunting could be trusted with their eyes, but they had no choice but to salute and retreat.

Ruan Yunting looked at the small white paper bag on the case table, and asked curiously: "It's so late, what did you ask Mama Miao to buy? It seems that you didn't take the medicine."

"Of course I didn't eat it." Luo Shimin looked at Ruan Yunting firmly, and said through gritted teeth: "Ting'er, we have such a close relationship, I don't need to hide it from you. To poison that bitch to death!"

"What?!" Ruan Yunting was stunned by Luo Shimin's fierce eyes and decisive tone. Such a gentle and virtuous kind-hearted woman actually had the heart to kill.It can be seen that her hatred for Zi Fu has risen to a limit.

"That bitch almost harmed my child, and she still has to act innocent. In the future, she may decide how to hook up with men. Why don't I just keep doing it and kill the roots!" Luo Shimin's face turned pale, and she didn't know whether it was because of anger or because of herself. The thought frightened me.

Ruan Yunting sighed, Luo Shimin is angry now, she can't think about the problem calmly, she can't watch her make mistakes, so she persuaded in a low voice: "This is not a solution to solve the problem once and for all, I went to Zifu today, and tomorrow Here comes Green Fu and Lan Fu, good concubines and cheap concubines, sent by others, the fourth cousin likes it, after all, it is an inevitable reality that the fourth cousin will be able to take concubines, you are more serious with the reality, it is not you who suffer Who are you? Besides, if you kill someone, you will be sued. Do you think that the child in your womb will be inferior to others when you have a mother who killed someone? The most important thing is that even if you kill her, it will not solve the problem. , the blow to yourself will definitely not be small."

Luo Shimin knew that what Ruan Yunting said was right, the more she thought about it, the more she felt depressed and wronged, and tears filled her eyes: "Ting'er, I'm really going crazy with anger, Zi Fu is really too much!"

"Shi Min, not everyone who goes too far can only die. Didn't I give you a pack of medicine powder before, why not use it? Besides, although Zi Fu harmed you, she failed, so death is not a crime. Let's think of a way together, let her leave the Xu family, that's all."

Perhaps it was Ruan Yunting's sentence "the crime is not unto death" that touched Luo Shimin's anger. She glared at Ruan Yunting, "Why is Ting'er still helping that bitch Zifu to plead for mercy? Shouldn’t she be dead? The medicine you gave me can only make her pale and acne-prone, why don’t you just solve the root cause! Could it be that I know that someone is going to harm me, and I can sleep peacefully?! Don’t have to be on guard all the time Let her secretly play tricks? Rather than being so worried, it's better to kill him!"

"Shimin..."

"No need to say more," Luo Shimin's voice was unprecedentedly sharp: "If I don't kill her, am I still waiting to be killed like the fifth girl! At that time, it will be too late to regret;!"

"What did you say? Miss Wu, Xu Ningxiu?"

Ruan Yunting immediately grasped her words, she said Fifth Girl, isn't that her from her previous life?She knew that her death in her previous life might have been caused by humans, and she must have something to do with Jun Zhaoyan, but this matter is a secret.To the outside world, Xu Ningxiu died of illness, and her natal family also said the same thing to the outside world. If she didn't know the inside story, Luo Shimin wouldn't be able to say such a sentence at all.

"Shi Min, what did you say? Say what you just said again." Ruan Yunting tried her best to behave as usual, not to be too eager, just like ordinary people who hear gossip.

Luo Shimin also knew that she had slipped away, so she covered her mouth and thought for a while before saying solemnly: "Ting'er, I shouldn't have kept something from you between you and my sister, but this matter has nothing to do with you. It doesn't matter, it won't do you any good if you know, I'd better not tell you."

Regarding the mystery of the cause of death in the previous life, Ruan Yunting certainly would not let go of the opportunity, "Shi Min, if you tell me, I won't tell anyone. Miss Wu is also my cousin after all."

"Ting'er, I really can't."

Ruan Yunting held Luo Shimin for a while, but Luo Shimin kept his mouth shut. In the end, Ruan Yunting couldn't be bothered, and he didn't want to be too straightforward, so he gave Dai Yun a wink, and Dai Yun immediately understood and kept on simmering. The medicine was brought up.

"Grandma, it's time to take your medicine."

Luo Shimin covered her mouth and yawned, nodded and said, "Bring it."

It's late, and Ruan Yunting is not blind, Luo Shimin is not comfortable and tired now, and she will not say anything if she continues to pester her today, so she stands up and says: "Shimin, you are so good at giving birth. Hold on to your body, and I'll come see you tomorrow."

"Okay, Ting'er, the road outside is slippery, please be careful. Dai Yun, send Miss Ruan for me."

"No need, Dai Yun stays here to serve your grandma." Ruan Yunting looked at Luo Shimin worriedly: "You must think clearly about that, and don't hurt yourself by acting recklessly."

Knowing that Ruan Yunting was talking about arsenic, Luo Shimin nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will think it through."

Ruan Yunting's mind was heavy, she didn't know how she returned to Jingsi Garden.One question she had been thinking about was why Luo Shimin knew that Xu Ningxiu was murdered.

Logically speaking, this matter is a secret. To the outside world, everyone only knows that Xu Ningxiu died of illness. Inside, those who know the "insider story" also think that Xu Ningxiu committed suicide by taking poison for disobedience.Even if her true self transferred her soul and knew that she was wronged, who did Luo Shimin listen to as an outsider?

Ruan Yunting couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, hugged the quilt and thought for a long time, but couldn't figure it out, only knew that there was something, she must have missed it.
