Hou Mansion has a daughter to marry

Chapter 124 Another Plan

Rong Anhou Mansion.

There was an uproar in the city for a while, and the common people who didn't know why condemned Xiao Yu one after another.

Hongyunlou, the busiest teahouse in the capital, was gathering a bunch of people chatting.The first one was dressed in Tsing Yi and looked pretty, but the cynicism on his face faded, and he said with righteous indignation: "I was a fool, but now I am the king of An County, I am not stupid anymore, and I know how to bully others and women from good families, I don't know What will happen in the future!"

The person next to him had a gentle face, and sighed: "It's pitiful for the young lady of the Murong family. Not only has she lost her innocence, but she has also made troubles known to everyone. If that fool just doesn't give Miss Murong a home, I'm afraid..."

"Miss Murong is not the only poor person, how can the Second Miss Xie, who has never been married, not feel bad about this? Didn't it be said in the past that the king of An County admired the Second Miss Xie, and fell in love with Miss Murong in a blink of an eye?" Occasionally The little man passing by couldn't help but interject, but he was a pity.

"You don't understand this. From time to time, Xiao Yu was only the second son of the loyal prince. He couldn't inherit the title and could only live according to the eldest son. How could he dare to make mistakes? Now he can't do it. He has his own family. Are there any stumbling blocks?" A man who looked like a storyteller shook his folding fan lightly, as if he had already seen everything.

The seemingly sensible person said: "It's reasonable for you to say that. Tsk, I'm just curious. I haven't heard of that Miss Murong in the past. If she is really beautiful, why is there no rumor about it? And I heard that Xie Jiashuang Shu was born with an ordinary appearance, and she has the appearance of a celestial being, so I am afraid that Miss Murong is as beautiful as a celestial being?"

"This..." Everyone hesitated.

A rough man clapped his hands and smiled exaggeratedly, "Hey, why do you think so much, man, that flirt?"

Such powerful gossip and gossip flowed through the high-ranking and powerful households all-pervasively, even if the noble households were like the sea, they would inevitably cause ripples.No, Mrs. Lin who got the news frowned and hurried to Zhuyiyuan.

When Lin entered the door, she turned away a group of maids first, and then tactfully told Xie Chang'an the gossip and rumors in the streets and alleys. After speaking, her eyes were filled with worry, her brows were furrowed, and she continued to ask: "Chang'an, what happened on the day of the outing, and why? Didn't you mention it to Ning'er?"

Xie Chang'an put down the wedding dress in his hand unhurriedly, and smiled gently, "Mother, don't worry, it's a trivial matter, I don't want people with ulterior motives to make it out of nothing." , and then said: "I think Prince Zhong's Mansion will deal with this matter, so don't worry about it."

Lin Shi hesitated, his eyes flickered slightly, and he asked tentatively: "The woman and Xiao Yu..."

"Xiao Yu has nothing to do with that woman, it's just that the woman wanted to climb the dragon and become the phoenix. Seeing Xiao Yu's ignorance, she made a fuss, thinking she wanted to seek fame."

Lin Shi was doubtful, but saw that Xie Changan's expression did not seem to be fake, so she had to give up, stopped asking more questions, chatted a few words, got up and walked outside, hesitated for a while, and went to Xie Changning's courtyard.

Here, Xie Chang'an picked up the embroidery needle again, and was about to sew the needle, but somehow remembered something, first paused, then put down the embroidery needle, and called Qingshuang, "Qingshuang, come with me to the upper room."

When Xie Changan went to the upper room, the old lady Xie was reclining on the couch, with her eyes slightly closed, drowsy.Xie Chang'an walked up to him lightly, and without waiting to speak, the old lady Xie's calm voice came, "An'er, you are here." After a slight pause, he opened his half-closed eyes, and there was a hint of light in them. "But you want to talk about Xiao Yu?"

Xie Chang'an nodded, he didn't explain much, he just told the truth about what happened that day.After the words fell, the old lady Xie didn't make a sound, she narrowed her eyes again, and said for a while: "An'er, grandma knows that Xiao Yu treats you sincerely... But Xiao Yu is not a good person after all, depending on this matter, if It's not Prince Zhong's mansion, what can Xiao Yu do?"

Prince Zhong's Mansion.

"He's a shameless person, he just humiliated himself, so why bother to be Jian Yu'er!" The loyal princess who greeted her every day was also furious, with thousands of thoughts lingering in her heart, and suddenly a gleam flashed in her eyes, "Yu'er , since that's the case, I asked your father to play tricks on the Murong family who don't know how to live or die!"

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan hurriedly stepped forward to stop it, "Mother, absolutely not, such a loyal prince's mansion will only make people talk about it, and then the Murong family will be eager to use this to make trouble, the gain outweighs the loss!"

"What... at that moment?" Princess Zhongqin frowned, and looked at Xiao Yu who was silent, "Yu'er, what do you think is appropriate?"

Xiao Yu suddenly sneered, looked up at Concubine Zhongqin, and only said: "Use the way of others to treat him." He didn't say anything more about the rest.

The next day, the storytellers in various teahouses added new entertainments to the ordinary people's leisure time, with brilliant tongues and vivid voices, making it as good as being there, so as to experience the pleasure of a beautiful woman throwing herself into her arms.

"...Miss Murong, with a charming smile, beautiful eyes and hopeful eyes, is full of hope and brilliance, but the king of Na'an is lazy to pay attention, and only thinks about Miss Xie, so he turns around and is about to leave. How can you know that Murong The young lady failed to seduce her, she made another plan in the blink of an eye, she was tripped up, and jumped straight at King Na'an..."

Mr. Storyteller deliberately played tricks, took a sip of the teacup, and made all the people who were waiting for the beauty to fall into his arms anxious, and hurriedly asked, "What happened next? Please tell me, sir!"

"...Do you know how it is? That Jun Wang didn't have the slightest feeling of pity, and he didn't reach out to support Miss Murong. It's conceivable..."

There were sighs.

The storyteller stroked his long beard, and continued: "Everyone knows, this is not the first time Miss Murong has been envoyed by the king of Chao'an County. She has already passed by the bookstore a few days ago. Let me tell you about it." ..."

Suddenly someone interjected, "Don't blame me for seeing that Miss Murong hanging around the bookstore for several days. I was waiting for this... A woman's heart, a sea needle!"

There was another sigh.

For a while, the common people pointed their finger at Murong Lan one after another, they all said that Murong Lan was a lowly man, it was the Murong family's disgrace to use all means to climb the dragon and become the phoenix, and no one abused Xiao Yu anymore.

Murong's house.

I personally thought that Murong Lan, who was planning a strategy, was sitting in the gazebo, lightly stroking and slowly twisting and picking, the brisk and joyful sound of the piano flowing out from under the green and white jade fingers, the small garden was filled with joy for a while. The sound, echoing the breeze blowing on the face, is refreshing.And within the white gauze, Murong Lan loomed, like a fairy who accidentally fell into the mortal world.

"Miss, miss, it's not good, miss!" A servant girl ran over, panting, intermittently telling Murong Lan the rumors outside.

jump--

The strings of the zither came down in response, and hit Murong Lan's white hand like jade impartially, a red mark immediately appeared.Murong Lan lowered her head to look at the reddened hand, her expression was gloomy, she stroked the painful red mark for a long time, and a bit of anger appeared on the face of Qingshui out of Furong, her red lips parted slightly, "Go and invite Dr. Li to come here " Paused, "Remember, go in a hurry, if someone asks, just say that I cut my wrists and killed myself, wanting to prove my innocence by death."

The servant girl was flustered, but she didn't dare to disobey, so she took the order and left.

"Go find some chicken blood and bring it to my room. Hurry up." Murong Lan waved the maid on the right, then waved to the maid on the left, "Go and invite Mrs. Master to my room." He hurriedly walked towards the room.

Murong Feng has an honest face, but there is undisguised greed in the eyes of the beautiful Mrs. Murong, "Lan'er, you can go ahead and do it. If it succeeds, you will be Princess An Jun. Mother, I will follow!"

"Ma'am, Lan'er, why bother! So the Prince of An County is a member of the Tian family, so he can let others play tricks like this? Don't make the same mistakes again and again, it's not too late to stop now!"

Murong Lan didn't speak, she just stared at the sharp dagger in her hand with scorching eyes.

"Why bother?" Mrs. Murong snorted coldly, her beautiful face was ferocious, "Master, if you were a first-rank official in the dynasty, Lan'er and I wouldn't bother, but master, you have been fighting against mere seventies for many years. The hat of Pin Xiaoguan is sitting firmly? Master, you also know how the sisters next to you are making jokes..."

"Mother, don't say any more. Father, I have made up my mind, and I hope that father will make my daughter happy." Murong Lan looked at Murong Feng firmly, her eyes were determined to win.

Murong Feng sighed helplessly, "Lan'er..."

An hour later, news came out from the not-so-famous Xuanhu Medical Center in the capital, saying that Murong Lan heard the rumors, was heartbroken for a moment, and couldn't bear the slander anymore, so she cut her wrist and committed suicide. Fortunately, the doctor arrived in time and saved her life , but because of excessive blood loss and stagnation in the heart, he had to stay ill in bed.

Hearing these twists and turns of rumors and rumors, no matter how windy the common people are, they can also see the clues. Everyone has their own thoughts, and unconsciously, they are divided into two factions, one side is facing Murong Lan, and the other is Facing Xiao Yu, the two groups of people were amusing themselves, which aroused dissatisfaction among the neighbors, and it was very lively.

In order to uphold their own justice, the two factions went to the medical clinic to collect evidence from Murong Lan, and asked Dr. Li, who was seeing the doctor, to personally tell about Murong Lan's injuries, and the first sentence after Murong Lan woke up was to prove his innocence by death. , causing a group of people to admire and pity Murong Lan, and condemn Xiao Yu even more unbearably.

On the other hand, the people who supported Xiao Yu were guarding Prince Zhong's mansion day by day, and they would go up to ask someone when they saw someone, which annoyed the people in Prince Zhong's mansion. Yu was guilty of being a thief, and blamed Xiao Yu more and more, and many people who supported Xiao Yu were chilled, and turned to support Murong Lan's faction.

"Is there any news from Prince Zhong's Mansion today?" According to legend, Murong Lan, who was seriously ill and lying on the bed, was drinking tea in the room comfortably, with gentle eyebrows and eyes, but there was a bit of sharpness hidden, how could he look depressed at all?

The maid shook her head, "No."

"Loyal to the prince's mansion, but you are lazy to pay attention to me?" Murong Lan's lips curled up slightly, smiling, but it was very pervasive.
