The prince of the highest poison, you must serve
Chapter 91 So You Are Such a Miss!
Chapter 91 So You Are Such a Miss!
In the study room, General Xie walked behind the table, looked at Xie Lingqin and said, "The Zong government was attacked last night, you were surprised."
"Father Lao is worried. I slept too deeply yesterday, so I didn't know about it at all. I didn't feel any fright, and I heard from my grandfather this morning that most of those people went to my cousin."
"That's good." General Xie knocked on the table, and then came out from behind, with his hands behind his back, as if he was thinking about something.
In the house, it was quiet for a while.
Xie Lingqin felt that today's General Xie was a bit strange. A generation of generals also commanded thousands of troops. Although General Xie was suspicious and selfish, he was not that hesitant.
However, Xie Lingqin was not in a hurry and just stood there quietly.
"You were born last year, and this year after the new year, you will be sixteen." After a long time, General Xie finally spoke, his eyes fell on Xie Lingqin, with some fatherly kindness.
Xie Lingqin was a little surprised, but he kept all his emotions in his eyes and nodded slightly, "Yes, father."
"Originally, because of your mother's friendship with Concubine Lan, the mother of the Xian Wang, she made an engagement contract for you, but the world is unpredictable... Now that the Xian Wang has retired and the matter is irreversible, you don't need to feel sorry for yourself. "
Xie Lingqin's eyelashes twitched slightly, but her face was still submissive, "Father, don't worry, this matter has passed for many days, and my daughter has calmed down."
"Well, besides, in recent days, the Xian King's heart for Lingyu is almost well known, and you know it too." General Xie said again, looking at Xie Lingqin's eyes as clear as the dawn lake, sighed, "You are a prostitute, and my father can't forget you."
As soon as these words came out, Xie Lingqin's heart skipped a beat.
Could it be...
"The son of the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, a handsome talent, both civil and military, what do you think?"
Ok?
Xie Lingqin raised her eyes and met General Xie's eyes.
The legitimate son of Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, he is a good-looking talent, both civil and military. If this father said this, wouldn't he slap him in the face?
A handsome talent, lingering in Huaxiang.
Both civil and military, with human life on his back.
Not only that, I heard that he has also suffered from Hualiu disease.
Although these are cryptic news, she naturally heard about it when she knew the world and Beirong a few days ago, and the former owner also heard about it when the second aunt was chatting with others.
Xie Lingqin didn't believe this father, he didn't know.
General Xie sighed again at this time, and looked at Xie Lingqin, "Your second aunt did something wrong before, and I grounded her, but after all these years of thinking about her and working hard for the general's mansion, I relieved her." foot ban."
"Second Aunt really worked hard, and it's understandable for my father to do so."
Xie Lingqin felt hehe in his heart, guessing what General Xie was thinking, and answered accordingly.
Sure enough, seeing that she had no objection, the scrutiny in General Xie's eyes retreated a little, and he looked at Xie Lingqin, "You should be grateful to Second Aunt, for your marriage, she has broken her heart."
"So, father, have you made up your mind?" Xie Lingqin looked at General Xie, raised his eyebrows and eyes lightly, neither humble nor overbearing, just right docile.
There is no shyness that a daughter's family should have, but a frank statement.
"If you have no objection, the Ministry of Industry naturally has no objection. After all, you are the daughter of my general's mansion."
When Xie Lingqin heard this, a sneer crossed his heart. Indeed, the Ministry of Industry is considered a high climber.
However, this general's mansion has been empty for so many years with no title and no real power. It is nothing more than an empty shell. If anyone is willing to marry her, the Ministry of Industry will agree. It must be just a risk, because of the secret in her hands.
After hesitating for a moment, Xie Lingqin's eyes flashed, and he suddenly said softly, "Father, I have always heard that my mother ordered [-] soldiers to repel the barbarians and defend the Beirong mountains and rivers. Do you know where those [-] soldiers are?"
"Why are you asking this all of a sudden?" General Xie's expression darkened obviously.
Xie Lingqin didn't expect General Xie's reaction to be so big. He was a bit surprised, but he didn't panic. Instead, his voice became softer, with confusion, "No, I just had a dream last night, and suddenly I dreamed of my mother. I thought of some remarks I heard when I went out to Xiaofahua Temple..."
"You dreamed about your mother, did she say anything to you?" General Xie's voice was quite calm, with anticipation on his face.
Without realizing it, Xie Lingqin shook her head, "It's vague, I don't remember anything."
"Oh." General Xie heard the words, he didn't know whether he was relieved or disappointed, and said, "When your mother passed away, you were still young, so you didn't know anything. As for some gossip outside, you don't have to take it to heart, but It’s not enough to believe it.”
"Father said so."
Xie Lingqin gave a slight salute, but from the corner of the eye, he secretly took General Xie's dark and complicated emotions into his eyes, and immediately said softly, "Then Lingqin's marriage will be troubled by my father. If my father is fine, then my daughter will leave."
"...Okay." General Xie was obviously a little surprised, as if he didn't expect Xie Lingqin to say that.
However, when Xie Lingqin walked to the door, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
If you want me to marry, if I object, I'm afraid I won't even be able to get out of this room today.
However, if you are not benevolent, don't blame me for being unrighteous.
When the door opened, the first thing Xie Lingqin saw was not Zihe, but the guards beside General Xie. .”
The guard lowered his head and reported.
Xie Lingqin looked at the guard with a slightly cold gaze. She had a bad premonition, and was about to speak, but saw a middle-aged nanny running in quickly from outside the yard, "General...Miss, it's not good."
"What happened?" Xie Lingqin clenched her hands, and behind her, General Xie also came out of the study.
"Just now, I invited Zihe to Aunt Wan's place to get the clothes that the general made for the eldest lady before, and I was busy. But just now, halfway through the journey, Zihe suddenly went crazy and injured him. There are two servants in the family." The middle-aged mother looked anxious.
"Take me to see." General Xie had strode out from behind Xie Lingqin, took a look at Xie Lingqin and walked out with his guards.
Xie Lingqin looked at the backs of General Xie and the guards, and suddenly felt troubled in his heart, as if something had surfaced, and immediately followed.
The close body guard who was following General Xie took a few steps, and seemed to feel something was wrong, and immediately turned around, but there was no abnormality except for the worry-looking eldest lady walking slightly anxiously behind her.
However, just now there was a chilly feeling like a glow on his back.
"Guard Ming, do you have something to tell me?" Xie Lingqin seemed not aware of it, and asked with her skirt up.
The guard was startled when he heard the words, shook his head immediately, and followed General Xie's footsteps.
When Xie Lingqin followed to the front yard, Zihe had already fainted and fell to the ground, holding a sharp fist-sized stone with blood on it, while two servants clasped their arms and shivered there.
The two servants both injured their arms, and the wounds were so neat. When they saw General Xie coming, they looked panicked in their eyes, but they were obviously begging for credit.
This is a liar.
"Master, look quickly..." The second aunt saw General Xie coming, and then she led people out from behind the rockery, pointed at the scene in front of her, with lingering fear on her face, "It's really, it's too scary."
Seeing this, General Xie was visibly angry, and looked at Xie Lingqin suddenly, "Is this maid crazy?"
This angry tone, coupled with Second Aunt's frightened but actually complacent eyes, Xie Lingqin still didn't understand.
Calling her to the study, he spoke earnestly and tried every step of the way, but the real purpose was to get Zihe away from her and break her wings.
If you can't kill her, you'll start with the people around her. This is really like Second Aunt's style.
However, what did Second Auntie say? Not only did General Xie want to promise her out immediately, but he also sang the play with her.
However, there is one thing that Second Aunt has forgotten.
And at this time, Aunt Wan hurried over with the help of her maid. Looking at the scene in front of her, she obviously heard what happened, so she didn't want to say anything openly, but she just signaled to Xie Lingqin with her eyes as discreetly as possible. It's innocent, it wasn't her fault.
Of course Xie Lingqin knew it. It was obvious that this nanny belonged to the second aunt. After signaling to Aunt Wan to be calm, Xie Lingqin looked at General Xie with a puzzled expression, "Father, I don't know. This servant girl was found by the second aunt before, she has always been obedient and peaceful, and she has never heard of any madness." Xie Lingqin expressed a look of confusion.
"Miss, I found this person well, but you haven't been using it all the time?" Second—Auntie doesn't want this dirty water.
Xie Lingqin looked at Second Aunt without fear or panic, and did not answer.
General Xie's eyes scanned Xie Lingqin from the beginning to the end, not forgetting every expression on her face.
That is, examining and probing, Xie Lingqin believed that as long as she asked Zihe to intercede, then Zihe would definitely die.
Seeing that Xie Lingqin didn't respond for a long time, General Xie waved his hand, "In that case, come here, get this maid out, and have them healed quickly."
"Yes."
"Father, wait a minute." Xie Lingqin stopped him suddenly.
General Xie suddenly looked at Xie Lingqin. Although that glance flashed extremely fast, Xie Lingqin still saw a stern look of suspicion.
"You want to plead for her?"
"No..." Xie Lingqin's face was calm, and his eyes were clear, "This girl is crazy and hurts others, so I can't stay, but, father, you say, the maids in the mansion come in to ask for help. After rigorous screening, how could Second Auntie make such a low-level mistake, and is there something wrong with it." Xie Ling said extremely seriously.
General Xie's eyes flickered, he glanced at Second Aunt, and said slowly, "Perhaps, something went wrong."
Is there a mistake?
Ah!
"Father, something went wrong. I think, just in case, you should check the entire General's Mansion inside and out. Don't let someone with a heart get in. It's not good." After Xie Lingqin finished speaking, seeing General Xie apparently listening, he just stopped talking, and his eyes fell on Zihe who was still unconscious on the ground, "Hey, this girl..."
Xie Lingqin sighed helplessly, waved her hands and looked at the nanny just now, "Mammy, I'm sorry." After saying that, she pretended to leave.
Seeing this scene, the maids and servants around the yard couldn't help but look sideways.
From ancient times to the present, these masters, even if they look down on these maids and servants in their hearts, they will save face in front of others, no matter if they are sincere or not, but this young lady is usually weak and weak. Weak ones, right now, really... so cold-blooded.
Anyway, I beg a few words.
General Xie looked at Xie Lingqin's reaction, but he was obviously relieved.
"Father, that daughter is stepping back first." Then, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Xie Lingqin turned around and wanted to leave.
"Ahem..." He had just taken two steps when he heard a coughing sound from behind.
"General, this girl...was awake." At this moment, Second Aunt's voice sounded a little panicked.
And Xie Lingqin was very sensitive to understand what Second Aunt wanted to say during the pause as "unexpectedly."
General, this girl has woken up.
Xie Lingqin also looked back suspiciously, but saw that Zihe, who had just fainted just now, had woken up at this moment, looked around, and looked at the eyes, with a confused look, "This is, what happened?"
"Nurse said, you hurt someone." Xie Lingqin said, and after a while, asked again, "Are you mad?"
Zihe looked around helplessly, and then, looking at the two servants who were caressing their arms, he burst into tears immediately, pointing to the two servants, "Miss, you must be the master of your slaves, just now, It was these two people who blocked the way of the servant and bullied the servant...the servant was helpless, so they fought back, the servant...the servant is not crazy."
"You, you are talking nonsense, we didn't bully you." One of the servants immediately stood up and refuted.
Zihe glanced at him, and immediately crawled over on his knees and hugged Xie Lingqin's leg, without saying anything, but crying uncontrollably.
And this sad cry, without words, is sympathetic.
It was rare for General Xie not to make a sound, just watching.
After a long time, Xie Lingqin said softly, "Okay, you said they bullied you, but you have evidence, obviously many people saw it just now, you went crazy and hurt them."
"No, miss, you believe me, they bullied me."
"You're talking nonsense." Xie Lingqin snorted coldly, with an unhappy expression on his face, "They are just two of the most ordinary servants, and you are the big maid by my side. Preface, even if you are the person next to me, they will definitely not dare to bully you."
Every word Xie Lingqin said was obviously extremely disappointed.
But Zihe shook his head desperately, with tears in his eyes, that was a pitiful grievance, "No, miss, you believe the slave, what the slave said, the slave is the person next to you, but, but, they said..." Zihe muttered The murmuring voice lowered, looked at General Xie, and fell silent again.
However, Xie Lingqin raised her head vigorously, with a sullen expression on her face, "Say what you want to say, now that your father is here, how do you want to justify it?"
"they said……"
Zihe suppressed his voice, hesitant to speak.
The master and servant sang in unison, which naturally forced General Xie to speak, but the second aunt secretly felt that it was not good, and it was too late to stop, so General Xie looked at Zihe and said in a deep voice, "Say."
"...They said, they said, so what if I am the servant girl next to the eldest lady. Anyway, the eldest lady is not favored, has no status, and is not valued. She will be married off in the future. The mansion is still suffering, let them, they... be happy, and in the future... they will give the slaves a good face... the slaves will not obey, the slaves..." At the end of the sentence, Zihe's tears really seemed to be free , rushing.
And as soon as her words fell, there was a sudden deathly silence in the yard.
On the side, Aunt Wan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, because she saw the expression on General Xie's face that he knew he was about to put Zihe to death after he retreated, but was replaced by entanglement and embarrassment.
So obviously, although Xie Lingqin did nothing, she won.
Second Yiniang trembled her lips, touched General Xie's dark breath, and suddenly lost her voice.
It is absolutely unacceptable for a dignified general to give birth to a young lady, to be so despised by two servants, and to be despised by the maids around him. Even if the general listens to her again, he will not be able to lose face. He winked at the two servants.
"No, General, we don't, we don't..."
The two servants were dumbfounded, and when they understood, they immediately kowtowed to show their innocence.
At this moment, Xie Lingqin took in all the faces and emotions of the crowd, and finally spoke. He didn't question the two servants, nor did he express any doubts about Second Aunt. Instead, he looked at Zihe with deep eyes, "You said that they bullied you, and you said that these are all one-sided remarks."
"No, no, no..." Zihe shook his head desperately, biting his lips, looking ashamed and angry, and finally rolled up his sleeves, "Miss, look..."
"This..." Xie Lingqin's eyes were touched, his face was shocked, and the next moment, he raised his hand and waved at the two servants, "You two beasts, you hurt Zihe like this, you really hurt Zihe!" not human……"
With two consecutive slaps, the faces of the two servants were bruised and swollen, and they dared not fight back.
The atmosphere is deadly.
No one dared to speak, no one dared to stop, just said, the normally weak young lady is really angry now.
This, aggrieved!
"This..." At this time, Aunt Wan let the maid help her to step forward a few steps, stood in front of Zihe, looked at the marks on Zihe's arm, narrowed her eyes, turned her face away, and then walked towards the general, "General, this red mark is really the work of a man..."
The veins on General Xie's forehead were pulsating, and he was stern, "Bastards, the maids next to the dignified lady are also what you can imagine. Come here, take them down and beat them to death with sticks."
"Yes." Immediately someone stepped forward and dragged the two servants down.
The two men seemed to want to say something, but their mouths were quickly covered.
After a while, there was a loud howl.
"Father, I'll take Zihe down first." It's more useful not to say it now.
General Xie looked at Xie Lingqin hesitating to speak, his eyes were anxious, and in the end he just waved his hands.
Zihe followed Xie Lingqin step by step.
General Xie looked at Xie Lingqin's back. After a while, he looked away and looked at the guard beside him, "Immediately review all the servants and maids in the mansion."
"...Yes." The guard understood and took precautions. Although the eldest lady just said something unintentionally, it made General Xie somewhat suspicious of the matter in the mansion.
And the second aunt who had finally thought that Xie Lingqin would be able to lead Xie Lingqin's army today changed greatly when she heard this.
How can the people in this mansion conduct a thorough investigation? Because of Xie Lingqin's relationship with her mother, General Xie is most taboo to have too many relatives in this mansion.
But since she entered the General's Mansion, it's impossible to lose her patronage, not to mention other yards, as far as her yard is concerned, many of them are nepotism, and most of them use her name to do some shameless things, as long as It's not a big deal, so she just turned a blind eye to it.
This time...
The second aunt is suffering and can't tell, the girl in Zihe didn't kill her, but still...
The point is, just now, in order to make the plan go smoothly, she obeyed the general's order and only let the two servants come forward first, so she didn't know whether they wanted to take the opportunity to bully Zihe.
And Aunt Wan stood beside General Xie from the beginning to the end, watching Xie Lingqin's leaving back, her heart couldn't be calmed for a long time.
It was clearly a dead end, and with General Xie's help, Xie Lingqin had no way out, but not only did she break the dead end, but she also made Second Aunt fall into trouble.
This thought...
too deep.
Aunt Wan didn't think that Xie Lingqin knew about this scene in advance.
It is precisely because it is impossible to know that it is so frightening to be able to cope with it with ease.
Qingshui Pavilion.
As soon as he entered the room, Xie Lingqin went straight to the inner room.
Zihe didn't know what to do, so he followed immediately, and when he entered the room, he knelt heavily to Xie Lingqin, "Thank you, miss, for saving me today, it was my servant who was negligent, and the lady told me to be careful, but my servant still almost set them on fire." way."
Xie Lingqin had already come out of the inner room at this time, holding a small emerald porcelain bottle in her hand, looking at her, "Get up, I'll rub the medicine for you."
Zihe's face was startled, she thought the lady was angry, but in the end, the lady came in so fast to get her medicine.
Zihe couldn't get up now, feeling even more guilty and frustrated, "It's because the servant was careless. Fortunately, the second aunt was not there at the time and didn't see it with her own eyes, so the servant said that it doesn't matter whether the servant lives or dies, it's just the situation of the young lady..."
Xie Lingqin really couldn't stand this, rubbed the center of his brows, and said just now, "Today, we're trying to win in a dangerous situation. You should be more careful in the future. Get up first."
Zihe thought for a while, and then got up, but his face was full of worry, "It seems that the general and the second aunt are already in the same position..."
Xie Lingqin suddenly sneered, obviously also very puzzled, "I don't know what the second aunt said to General Xie, which made him suspicious of me, so he took the knife on you, but fortunately, you cooperated very well."
"It's the young lady who has taught you well."
"Come on, I'll help you apply medicine to your arm." Xie Lingqin ordered.
Zihe shook his head, "It's fine for the servant girl to hurt herself, besides, there are giant clams."
Xie Lingqin nodded, and immediately ordered Tridacna to come in and help.
Tridacna naturally heard what happened just now, so he didn't say much, and only carefully helped Zihe with the medicine.
Xie Lingqin looked at the deep tooth marks on Zihe's arm, coldness slipped across his eyes, and his voice was cold, "As soon as we come out today, with General Xie's thoughts, just turn around and you can figure out what we are singing Bitter tricks, so..."
Xie Lingqin's face gradually became confused, and after a while, he smiled meaningfully at Zihe and Tridacna, "However, now the mansion is vigorously investigating all the servants, um... think about it both of you, on weekdays, who Those who are not very kind to you, are not friendly, or are waiting to see our jokes in Qingshui Pavilion, you can use your hands and feet."
Zihe instantly understood what Xie Lingqin meant, "Miss, don't worry."
Tridacna blinked, but was very excited, "Really?"
Xie Lingqin glanced at her and smiled, "What's wrong?"
The next day.
Early in the morning, there were nearly twenty maidservants lined up in the front yard of the General's Mansion.
All of them are carrying burdens, as if they are face-to-face, as if they are in mourning.
"Okay, I'll give you one month's extra money. Let's all go." The middle-aged nanny in charge waved her hand, and these people realized that there was no hope, and turned around drooping.
However, there are still people who are not reconciled.
"I'm the second aunt's distant nephew, are you making a mistake?"
"Shut up, the second aunt is not mean to you. Who told you to cause trouble outside all day long? I don't know if you don't check it. If you check it, you haven't committed too many things? What are you still doing here?" Step forward and scold.
Every word and every word, the inner meaning, the man is not stupid, he heard it, immediately stroked his face, and then knelt down on the ground.
"Auntie, it's my fault for hurting you."
"Okay, let's go home quickly."
People left, and the front yard was suddenly empty.
"Aunt Wan, you are pregnant and heavy now, let the old slave do the work, you go and rest." The nun said to Aunt Wan who was sitting behind her.
It sounded like a humble tone, but it was not polite, not kind, and his eyes were raised high, clearly not taking Aunt Wan seriously.
Aunt Wan glanced at her, didn't say anything, and let the maid help her down.
The nanny looked at Aunt Wan's back with a haughty expression, "Hmph, it's just that mothers are more expensive than children, and it's early to conceive in October. Fortunately, I know my duty."
In the dark, the figure hidden behind the flower branches flashed, and quickly headed towards Qingshui Pavilion.
It was Zihe.
"Miss, as you expected, Second Aunt really knows how to be a human being. Dismissing those people probably won't shake her position in the general's heart."
"Hmm..." Xie Lingqin gently put down the teacup in his hand, his brows were calm and his eyes were watery, "I didn't want to shake her position in father's heart."
This situation is now unshakable.
Zihe was a little puzzled, and looked at Xie Lingqin puzzled.
Xie Lingqin pursed her lips, smiling like a breeze and a bright moon.
"Zihe, have you heard of the eldest son of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Industry?"
"That scum?" Zihe subconsciously blurted out, suddenly felt that he had made a slip of the tongue, smiled a little awkwardly, lowered his eyebrows, "It's because the lady treated the slaves too well, but she told the slaves to lose their composure in front of the lady."
Xie Lingqin shook her head slightly, but she was quite calm, "Well, father listened to Second Aunt and wanted to marry me to the scum you mentioned."
"What?" Zihe was startled, "Miss, you are beautiful, smart and wise...Even if the general doesn't know how handsome you are, he can't marry you to such a person. You are the daughter of the general's mansion." Because of Xie Lingqin's calmness, Zihe was obviously very angry.
Xie Lingqin looked at her, "So, do you think, for a father who doesn't care about my life, death and happiness, do I, my daughter, still need him to be my reliance? So, what is Second Aunt's position in his heart? What does it matter, they are all..." Xie Lingqin's eyes burst into a cold smile, "However, they are all the same breed."
Zihe's eyes narrowed, looking at Xie Lingqin who was so handsome and exquisite in front of him, at this moment, for some reason, he felt a little distressed in his heart.
The dignified Miss of the General's Mansion, the daughter of a woman who was once a splendid woman in the world, her grandfather's family is also the home of Zhongming Dingshi. It seems that the stars are holding the moon, but she lives such a life.
No wonder, he suddenly became so cold-hearted.
"So..." Leaning slightly, Xie Lingqin sighed again, "According to the current situation, besides relying on the prince, do I have any other way out?"
The situation is stronger than the people.
If you don't fight back, General Xie will follow the clues, and the shops will be able to find out.
Moreover, the prince is still waiting for her to explain about the menstrual belt.
Really, people are hard to break down, want to cry but have no tears.
Zihe remained silent. In the past, she would have hoped that the young lady would be with the prince and get his help. However, from the way she saw Prince Yi that day, it was obvious that the prince had no sympathy for the young lady...
into the night.
The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and the moonlight is like silver, covering the entire Beirong capital with a layer of silver light.
And the prince's mansion.
It was Xie Lingqin's first visit to the Prince's Mansion.
Sure enough, it is not the same as the ordinary mansion, not to mention the layout of the mansion, but to say that the guards, servants, maids, all of them are put in the ordinary mansion.
"Miss, the crown prince said, let you wait for him here." At this time, Zihe stood behind Xie Lingqin and whispered.
Xie Lingqin glanced at her, "I know, besides, I have been waiting for two hours, when we came, it was just dark."
Zihe...
Are you sure this isn't a complaint?
However, the lady is too calm.
You know, in the eyes of outsiders, although the prince is cold-tempered, he is as gentle as a breeze, but only they know that the real prince is the master that no one can figure out.
I don't know if the lady can pass the crown prince.
The night was getting darker, and I drank almost two pots of tea.
"The tea in the prince's mansion is really better than the tea outside." In the quiet room for a long time, this was another sentence from Xie Lingqin after waiting for another hour.
Zihe couldn't answer.
"Zihe, tell me..." Xie Lingqin lightly touched the tea cover, with a casual tone, "Tell me, does the crown prince want me to stay overnight, and that's why he made me wait so long on purpose."
"This..." Zihe wanted to cry but had no tears.
The prince must not have such thoughts.
"If not." Xie Lingqin said again, "Is the crown prince delighted in me and deliberately attracted my attention like this?"
"Plop." Outside the room, there was a sudden sound of a human body falling to the ground.
Xie Lingqin and Zihe looked at each other before walking out of the room.
Outside the courtyard, a young man with a chubby round face but bright eyebrows and nimble hands and feet was slapping his buttocks and grinning. When he saw Xie Lingqin and Zihe coming out, his smile became brighter , "Oh, my name is Tinghai, hello Miss Lingqin."
"Okay..." Xie Lingqin drew his voice, then turned to look at Zihe, only to see that Zihe had already raised his hand to cover his eyes.
It is clear.
shame.
"Are you coming to the Prince's Mansion to steal?" Xie Lingqin asked.
Listening to the sea……
Immediately looked up and down at himself, so confused.
He is so suave and suave, it doesn't look like he is here to steal.
"Haha, Ting Hai, I told you that you don't look good. If you don't believe me, look, you met someone with a discerning eye today." At this time, there was a burst of laughter, and another male voice fell from time to time.
Clear and bright eyes, open eyebrows, gloating, whoever it is if it's not Yu Qingyi.
"No way, Mr. Yi, Miss Lingqin is knowledgeable about books and etiquette, she is clearly praising me in disguise, you didn't hear clearly."
Yu Qingyi rolled her eyes, "Damn you, you want to fight again, don't you?" While speaking, Yu Qingyi flicked up his sleeves, as if he was going to fight.
No matter how calm Xie Lingqin was, his lips twitched a little when he saw the two men grinding their fists.
This is... what the hell.
The guards around the prince are so talented?
Start a fight after a disagreement?
It was still the prince of Prince Qing's mansion who was beating him.
The point is, this prince please take the initiative to fight?
"Young Master Yi, I wish you a successful start." Xie Lingqin thought for a while, although this Yu Qingyi did bad things with good intentions recently, he treated her well, so he expressed his encouragement.
"Ahem...that, Miss..." Behind him, Zihe seemed embarrassed, and took a step forward, "How about we, let's go into the house."
"No, it's a good thing that Prince Suo didn't come, and if these two people really compete, there is still a lack of a referee. We are idle and idle, so don't waste time. It happens that I am also depressed, so let me explain." Xie Lingqin said , and asked Zihe to move a stool out of the house.
The look of eagerness to try, the corners of Zihe's lips twitched even more.
So you are such a young lady... are you!
The two who were about to fight heard Xie Lingqin's words, put down their fighters and looked at Xie Lingqin one after another.
The expression on his face was unpredictable, and there was also a little bit of resentment.
"Fight, why don't you fight?" Xie Lingqin sat on the stool, urging in a calm tone.
In her previous life, she liked to watch wrestling matches. This was her only hobby, and it was also the only thing that made her smile.
So, she's serious.
"Hit what?" A deep voice suddenly floated over, freezing the atmosphere.
Xie Lingqin clearly saw Tinghai and Yu Qingyi's complexion change, and immediately changed their posture, and immediately stood up.
Ting Hai is like a soldier who is under review at any time, while Yu Qingyi is the enchanting charm of flowing water.
And Xie Lingqin also turned her head to look outside the red-walled courtyard.
Like a gust of wind, like a gust of cold, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, walking calmly, taking advantage of the moonlight, approaching step by step, beautiful as jade, and extraordinary handsome.
What's more special is that elegant and graceful temperament, as soon as it appears, it can overwhelm all the spring flowers.
The innate power of a king is nothing more than that.
However, he was able to control it very well, just for a moment, as if everything just now was an illusion.
Looking at it again, the prince is just a bit too cold, that's all.
"My daughter, I have met the prince." Of course, no matter how handsome he is, Xie Lingqin will not lose himself and salute the prince.
However, the crown prince didn't ask for a waiver.
Thus, Xie Lingqin bent her waist slightly, lowered her head, revealing a section of her neck that was whiter than jade, shining brightly in the moonlight.
"you……"
"Subordinates are inspecting and inspecting." Only the crown prince's voice was heard, obviously there was no sound, but Tinghai disappeared in an instant.
"That..." Yu Qingyi glanced at Xie Lingqin, then looked at the prince quietly, touched her chin, and stepped forward carefully, "Well, let me tell you, this Xie Lingqin, look, she is thin and small , don't bully her, what, people come to you for help, you are almost the same, just sell me face..."
The prince didn't speak, but just gave Yu Qingyi a sideways glance.
Yu Qingyi's voice froze, she swallowed, and waved her hands gigglingly, "Well, I'm just joking, just joking."
Then, the figure instantly disappeared in the original.
The surroundings, the atmosphere, are inexplicably serious.
Xie Lingqin...
Is this Yu Qingyi so afraid of the prince?
"Do you think..." Xie Lingqin was thinking, when suddenly he felt pressure coming from above his head, and at the same time, Liang Bo's voice seemed to have an evil spirit resounding above his head.
Looking up, the prince is close in front of you, but only half a step away, breathing, distant and peaceful, it seems that it is cold.
Xie Lingqin shuddered unconsciously.
"Why do you think you can ask Bengong to help you?" Yu Wenyao looked at the woman in front of him, every word seemed to be whispering, but it was more like a threat.
You dared to plot against him last night and didn't punish you, you still don't know the heights of heaven and earth.
"Didn't the prince say before that I should come to you?" Xie Lingqin raised his neck, neither humble nor overbearing.
"That was before."
Xie Lingqin...
Yuzu, is this a denial? !
"Now you have stolen the cotton cloth from my prince's mansion." The prince said again, and there seemed to be a touch of ridicule when he spoke.
Xie Lingqin pursed her lips and looked at Zihe beside her.
Zihe's head almost fell to his knees.
She didn't really cheat the master, she really couldn't find it, how could she know, the prince didn't check the treasury on weekdays, but did it last night.
Xie Lingqin was speechless for this unlucky girl.
"This cotton cloth thing, it's like this..."
"Could it be that you use it yourself and want to slander others?"
Xie Lingqin opened his mouth, looked at the prince, his words were stuck in his throat, he couldn't get up, he couldn't get down.
Take a deep breath, take a deep breath.
She is not angry, she is not angry.
She was the best agent in her previous life and the most stable genius.
"So, why do you ask Bengong to help you now?"
Take another deep breath.
Xie Lingqin raised her eyes and smiled, "If you have to say that I have something to rely on..." Xie Lingqin raised his eyebrows and stood upright, "I think I look pretty good."
Sorry, it's late today, as soon as Xinzhi came back from the hospital, he was busy with non-stop work~
(End of this chapter)
In the study room, General Xie walked behind the table, looked at Xie Lingqin and said, "The Zong government was attacked last night, you were surprised."
"Father Lao is worried. I slept too deeply yesterday, so I didn't know about it at all. I didn't feel any fright, and I heard from my grandfather this morning that most of those people went to my cousin."
"That's good." General Xie knocked on the table, and then came out from behind, with his hands behind his back, as if he was thinking about something.
In the house, it was quiet for a while.
Xie Lingqin felt that today's General Xie was a bit strange. A generation of generals also commanded thousands of troops. Although General Xie was suspicious and selfish, he was not that hesitant.
However, Xie Lingqin was not in a hurry and just stood there quietly.
"You were born last year, and this year after the new year, you will be sixteen." After a long time, General Xie finally spoke, his eyes fell on Xie Lingqin, with some fatherly kindness.
Xie Lingqin was a little surprised, but he kept all his emotions in his eyes and nodded slightly, "Yes, father."
"Originally, because of your mother's friendship with Concubine Lan, the mother of the Xian Wang, she made an engagement contract for you, but the world is unpredictable... Now that the Xian Wang has retired and the matter is irreversible, you don't need to feel sorry for yourself. "
Xie Lingqin's eyelashes twitched slightly, but her face was still submissive, "Father, don't worry, this matter has passed for many days, and my daughter has calmed down."
"Well, besides, in recent days, the Xian King's heart for Lingyu is almost well known, and you know it too." General Xie said again, looking at Xie Lingqin's eyes as clear as the dawn lake, sighed, "You are a prostitute, and my father can't forget you."
As soon as these words came out, Xie Lingqin's heart skipped a beat.
Could it be...
"The son of the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, a handsome talent, both civil and military, what do you think?"
Ok?
Xie Lingqin raised her eyes and met General Xie's eyes.
The legitimate son of Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, he is a good-looking talent, both civil and military. If this father said this, wouldn't he slap him in the face?
A handsome talent, lingering in Huaxiang.
Both civil and military, with human life on his back.
Not only that, I heard that he has also suffered from Hualiu disease.
Although these are cryptic news, she naturally heard about it when she knew the world and Beirong a few days ago, and the former owner also heard about it when the second aunt was chatting with others.
Xie Lingqin didn't believe this father, he didn't know.
General Xie sighed again at this time, and looked at Xie Lingqin, "Your second aunt did something wrong before, and I grounded her, but after all these years of thinking about her and working hard for the general's mansion, I relieved her." foot ban."
"Second Aunt really worked hard, and it's understandable for my father to do so."
Xie Lingqin felt hehe in his heart, guessing what General Xie was thinking, and answered accordingly.
Sure enough, seeing that she had no objection, the scrutiny in General Xie's eyes retreated a little, and he looked at Xie Lingqin, "You should be grateful to Second Aunt, for your marriage, she has broken her heart."
"So, father, have you made up your mind?" Xie Lingqin looked at General Xie, raised his eyebrows and eyes lightly, neither humble nor overbearing, just right docile.
There is no shyness that a daughter's family should have, but a frank statement.
"If you have no objection, the Ministry of Industry naturally has no objection. After all, you are the daughter of my general's mansion."
When Xie Lingqin heard this, a sneer crossed his heart. Indeed, the Ministry of Industry is considered a high climber.
However, this general's mansion has been empty for so many years with no title and no real power. It is nothing more than an empty shell. If anyone is willing to marry her, the Ministry of Industry will agree. It must be just a risk, because of the secret in her hands.
After hesitating for a moment, Xie Lingqin's eyes flashed, and he suddenly said softly, "Father, I have always heard that my mother ordered [-] soldiers to repel the barbarians and defend the Beirong mountains and rivers. Do you know where those [-] soldiers are?"
"Why are you asking this all of a sudden?" General Xie's expression darkened obviously.
Xie Lingqin didn't expect General Xie's reaction to be so big. He was a bit surprised, but he didn't panic. Instead, his voice became softer, with confusion, "No, I just had a dream last night, and suddenly I dreamed of my mother. I thought of some remarks I heard when I went out to Xiaofahua Temple..."
"You dreamed about your mother, did she say anything to you?" General Xie's voice was quite calm, with anticipation on his face.
Without realizing it, Xie Lingqin shook her head, "It's vague, I don't remember anything."
"Oh." General Xie heard the words, he didn't know whether he was relieved or disappointed, and said, "When your mother passed away, you were still young, so you didn't know anything. As for some gossip outside, you don't have to take it to heart, but It’s not enough to believe it.”
"Father said so."
Xie Lingqin gave a slight salute, but from the corner of the eye, he secretly took General Xie's dark and complicated emotions into his eyes, and immediately said softly, "Then Lingqin's marriage will be troubled by my father. If my father is fine, then my daughter will leave."
"...Okay." General Xie was obviously a little surprised, as if he didn't expect Xie Lingqin to say that.
However, when Xie Lingqin walked to the door, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
If you want me to marry, if I object, I'm afraid I won't even be able to get out of this room today.
However, if you are not benevolent, don't blame me for being unrighteous.
When the door opened, the first thing Xie Lingqin saw was not Zihe, but the guards beside General Xie. .”
The guard lowered his head and reported.
Xie Lingqin looked at the guard with a slightly cold gaze. She had a bad premonition, and was about to speak, but saw a middle-aged nanny running in quickly from outside the yard, "General...Miss, it's not good."
"What happened?" Xie Lingqin clenched her hands, and behind her, General Xie also came out of the study.
"Just now, I invited Zihe to Aunt Wan's place to get the clothes that the general made for the eldest lady before, and I was busy. But just now, halfway through the journey, Zihe suddenly went crazy and injured him. There are two servants in the family." The middle-aged mother looked anxious.
"Take me to see." General Xie had strode out from behind Xie Lingqin, took a look at Xie Lingqin and walked out with his guards.
Xie Lingqin looked at the backs of General Xie and the guards, and suddenly felt troubled in his heart, as if something had surfaced, and immediately followed.
The close body guard who was following General Xie took a few steps, and seemed to feel something was wrong, and immediately turned around, but there was no abnormality except for the worry-looking eldest lady walking slightly anxiously behind her.
However, just now there was a chilly feeling like a glow on his back.
"Guard Ming, do you have something to tell me?" Xie Lingqin seemed not aware of it, and asked with her skirt up.
The guard was startled when he heard the words, shook his head immediately, and followed General Xie's footsteps.
When Xie Lingqin followed to the front yard, Zihe had already fainted and fell to the ground, holding a sharp fist-sized stone with blood on it, while two servants clasped their arms and shivered there.
The two servants both injured their arms, and the wounds were so neat. When they saw General Xie coming, they looked panicked in their eyes, but they were obviously begging for credit.
This is a liar.
"Master, look quickly..." The second aunt saw General Xie coming, and then she led people out from behind the rockery, pointed at the scene in front of her, with lingering fear on her face, "It's really, it's too scary."
Seeing this, General Xie was visibly angry, and looked at Xie Lingqin suddenly, "Is this maid crazy?"
This angry tone, coupled with Second Aunt's frightened but actually complacent eyes, Xie Lingqin still didn't understand.
Calling her to the study, he spoke earnestly and tried every step of the way, but the real purpose was to get Zihe away from her and break her wings.
If you can't kill her, you'll start with the people around her. This is really like Second Aunt's style.
However, what did Second Auntie say? Not only did General Xie want to promise her out immediately, but he also sang the play with her.
However, there is one thing that Second Aunt has forgotten.
And at this time, Aunt Wan hurried over with the help of her maid. Looking at the scene in front of her, she obviously heard what happened, so she didn't want to say anything openly, but she just signaled to Xie Lingqin with her eyes as discreetly as possible. It's innocent, it wasn't her fault.
Of course Xie Lingqin knew it. It was obvious that this nanny belonged to the second aunt. After signaling to Aunt Wan to be calm, Xie Lingqin looked at General Xie with a puzzled expression, "Father, I don't know. This servant girl was found by the second aunt before, she has always been obedient and peaceful, and she has never heard of any madness." Xie Lingqin expressed a look of confusion.
"Miss, I found this person well, but you haven't been using it all the time?" Second—Auntie doesn't want this dirty water.
Xie Lingqin looked at Second Aunt without fear or panic, and did not answer.
General Xie's eyes scanned Xie Lingqin from the beginning to the end, not forgetting every expression on her face.
That is, examining and probing, Xie Lingqin believed that as long as she asked Zihe to intercede, then Zihe would definitely die.
Seeing that Xie Lingqin didn't respond for a long time, General Xie waved his hand, "In that case, come here, get this maid out, and have them healed quickly."
"Yes."
"Father, wait a minute." Xie Lingqin stopped him suddenly.
General Xie suddenly looked at Xie Lingqin. Although that glance flashed extremely fast, Xie Lingqin still saw a stern look of suspicion.
"You want to plead for her?"
"No..." Xie Lingqin's face was calm, and his eyes were clear, "This girl is crazy and hurts others, so I can't stay, but, father, you say, the maids in the mansion come in to ask for help. After rigorous screening, how could Second Auntie make such a low-level mistake, and is there something wrong with it." Xie Ling said extremely seriously.
General Xie's eyes flickered, he glanced at Second Aunt, and said slowly, "Perhaps, something went wrong."
Is there a mistake?
Ah!
"Father, something went wrong. I think, just in case, you should check the entire General's Mansion inside and out. Don't let someone with a heart get in. It's not good." After Xie Lingqin finished speaking, seeing General Xie apparently listening, he just stopped talking, and his eyes fell on Zihe who was still unconscious on the ground, "Hey, this girl..."
Xie Lingqin sighed helplessly, waved her hands and looked at the nanny just now, "Mammy, I'm sorry." After saying that, she pretended to leave.
Seeing this scene, the maids and servants around the yard couldn't help but look sideways.
From ancient times to the present, these masters, even if they look down on these maids and servants in their hearts, they will save face in front of others, no matter if they are sincere or not, but this young lady is usually weak and weak. Weak ones, right now, really... so cold-blooded.
Anyway, I beg a few words.
General Xie looked at Xie Lingqin's reaction, but he was obviously relieved.
"Father, that daughter is stepping back first." Then, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Xie Lingqin turned around and wanted to leave.
"Ahem..." He had just taken two steps when he heard a coughing sound from behind.
"General, this girl...was awake." At this moment, Second Aunt's voice sounded a little panicked.
And Xie Lingqin was very sensitive to understand what Second Aunt wanted to say during the pause as "unexpectedly."
General, this girl has woken up.
Xie Lingqin also looked back suspiciously, but saw that Zihe, who had just fainted just now, had woken up at this moment, looked around, and looked at the eyes, with a confused look, "This is, what happened?"
"Nurse said, you hurt someone." Xie Lingqin said, and after a while, asked again, "Are you mad?"
Zihe looked around helplessly, and then, looking at the two servants who were caressing their arms, he burst into tears immediately, pointing to the two servants, "Miss, you must be the master of your slaves, just now, It was these two people who blocked the way of the servant and bullied the servant...the servant was helpless, so they fought back, the servant...the servant is not crazy."
"You, you are talking nonsense, we didn't bully you." One of the servants immediately stood up and refuted.
Zihe glanced at him, and immediately crawled over on his knees and hugged Xie Lingqin's leg, without saying anything, but crying uncontrollably.
And this sad cry, without words, is sympathetic.
It was rare for General Xie not to make a sound, just watching.
After a long time, Xie Lingqin said softly, "Okay, you said they bullied you, but you have evidence, obviously many people saw it just now, you went crazy and hurt them."
"No, miss, you believe me, they bullied me."
"You're talking nonsense." Xie Lingqin snorted coldly, with an unhappy expression on his face, "They are just two of the most ordinary servants, and you are the big maid by my side. Preface, even if you are the person next to me, they will definitely not dare to bully you."
Every word Xie Lingqin said was obviously extremely disappointed.
But Zihe shook his head desperately, with tears in his eyes, that was a pitiful grievance, "No, miss, you believe the slave, what the slave said, the slave is the person next to you, but, but, they said..." Zihe muttered The murmuring voice lowered, looked at General Xie, and fell silent again.
However, Xie Lingqin raised her head vigorously, with a sullen expression on her face, "Say what you want to say, now that your father is here, how do you want to justify it?"
"they said……"
Zihe suppressed his voice, hesitant to speak.
The master and servant sang in unison, which naturally forced General Xie to speak, but the second aunt secretly felt that it was not good, and it was too late to stop, so General Xie looked at Zihe and said in a deep voice, "Say."
"...They said, they said, so what if I am the servant girl next to the eldest lady. Anyway, the eldest lady is not favored, has no status, and is not valued. She will be married off in the future. The mansion is still suffering, let them, they... be happy, and in the future... they will give the slaves a good face... the slaves will not obey, the slaves..." At the end of the sentence, Zihe's tears really seemed to be free , rushing.
And as soon as her words fell, there was a sudden deathly silence in the yard.
On the side, Aunt Wan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, because she saw the expression on General Xie's face that he knew he was about to put Zihe to death after he retreated, but was replaced by entanglement and embarrassment.
So obviously, although Xie Lingqin did nothing, she won.
Second Yiniang trembled her lips, touched General Xie's dark breath, and suddenly lost her voice.
It is absolutely unacceptable for a dignified general to give birth to a young lady, to be so despised by two servants, and to be despised by the maids around him. Even if the general listens to her again, he will not be able to lose face. He winked at the two servants.
"No, General, we don't, we don't..."
The two servants were dumbfounded, and when they understood, they immediately kowtowed to show their innocence.
At this moment, Xie Lingqin took in all the faces and emotions of the crowd, and finally spoke. He didn't question the two servants, nor did he express any doubts about Second Aunt. Instead, he looked at Zihe with deep eyes, "You said that they bullied you, and you said that these are all one-sided remarks."
"No, no, no..." Zihe shook his head desperately, biting his lips, looking ashamed and angry, and finally rolled up his sleeves, "Miss, look..."
"This..." Xie Lingqin's eyes were touched, his face was shocked, and the next moment, he raised his hand and waved at the two servants, "You two beasts, you hurt Zihe like this, you really hurt Zihe!" not human……"
With two consecutive slaps, the faces of the two servants were bruised and swollen, and they dared not fight back.
The atmosphere is deadly.
No one dared to speak, no one dared to stop, just said, the normally weak young lady is really angry now.
This, aggrieved!
"This..." At this time, Aunt Wan let the maid help her to step forward a few steps, stood in front of Zihe, looked at the marks on Zihe's arm, narrowed her eyes, turned her face away, and then walked towards the general, "General, this red mark is really the work of a man..."
The veins on General Xie's forehead were pulsating, and he was stern, "Bastards, the maids next to the dignified lady are also what you can imagine. Come here, take them down and beat them to death with sticks."
"Yes." Immediately someone stepped forward and dragged the two servants down.
The two men seemed to want to say something, but their mouths were quickly covered.
After a while, there was a loud howl.
"Father, I'll take Zihe down first." It's more useful not to say it now.
General Xie looked at Xie Lingqin hesitating to speak, his eyes were anxious, and in the end he just waved his hands.
Zihe followed Xie Lingqin step by step.
General Xie looked at Xie Lingqin's back. After a while, he looked away and looked at the guard beside him, "Immediately review all the servants and maids in the mansion."
"...Yes." The guard understood and took precautions. Although the eldest lady just said something unintentionally, it made General Xie somewhat suspicious of the matter in the mansion.
And the second aunt who had finally thought that Xie Lingqin would be able to lead Xie Lingqin's army today changed greatly when she heard this.
How can the people in this mansion conduct a thorough investigation? Because of Xie Lingqin's relationship with her mother, General Xie is most taboo to have too many relatives in this mansion.
But since she entered the General's Mansion, it's impossible to lose her patronage, not to mention other yards, as far as her yard is concerned, many of them are nepotism, and most of them use her name to do some shameless things, as long as It's not a big deal, so she just turned a blind eye to it.
This time...
The second aunt is suffering and can't tell, the girl in Zihe didn't kill her, but still...
The point is, just now, in order to make the plan go smoothly, she obeyed the general's order and only let the two servants come forward first, so she didn't know whether they wanted to take the opportunity to bully Zihe.
And Aunt Wan stood beside General Xie from the beginning to the end, watching Xie Lingqin's leaving back, her heart couldn't be calmed for a long time.
It was clearly a dead end, and with General Xie's help, Xie Lingqin had no way out, but not only did she break the dead end, but she also made Second Aunt fall into trouble.
This thought...
too deep.
Aunt Wan didn't think that Xie Lingqin knew about this scene in advance.
It is precisely because it is impossible to know that it is so frightening to be able to cope with it with ease.
Qingshui Pavilion.
As soon as he entered the room, Xie Lingqin went straight to the inner room.
Zihe didn't know what to do, so he followed immediately, and when he entered the room, he knelt heavily to Xie Lingqin, "Thank you, miss, for saving me today, it was my servant who was negligent, and the lady told me to be careful, but my servant still almost set them on fire." way."
Xie Lingqin had already come out of the inner room at this time, holding a small emerald porcelain bottle in her hand, looking at her, "Get up, I'll rub the medicine for you."
Zihe's face was startled, she thought the lady was angry, but in the end, the lady came in so fast to get her medicine.
Zihe couldn't get up now, feeling even more guilty and frustrated, "It's because the servant was careless. Fortunately, the second aunt was not there at the time and didn't see it with her own eyes, so the servant said that it doesn't matter whether the servant lives or dies, it's just the situation of the young lady..."
Xie Lingqin really couldn't stand this, rubbed the center of his brows, and said just now, "Today, we're trying to win in a dangerous situation. You should be more careful in the future. Get up first."
Zihe thought for a while, and then got up, but his face was full of worry, "It seems that the general and the second aunt are already in the same position..."
Xie Lingqin suddenly sneered, obviously also very puzzled, "I don't know what the second aunt said to General Xie, which made him suspicious of me, so he took the knife on you, but fortunately, you cooperated very well."
"It's the young lady who has taught you well."
"Come on, I'll help you apply medicine to your arm." Xie Lingqin ordered.
Zihe shook his head, "It's fine for the servant girl to hurt herself, besides, there are giant clams."
Xie Lingqin nodded, and immediately ordered Tridacna to come in and help.
Tridacna naturally heard what happened just now, so he didn't say much, and only carefully helped Zihe with the medicine.
Xie Lingqin looked at the deep tooth marks on Zihe's arm, coldness slipped across his eyes, and his voice was cold, "As soon as we come out today, with General Xie's thoughts, just turn around and you can figure out what we are singing Bitter tricks, so..."
Xie Lingqin's face gradually became confused, and after a while, he smiled meaningfully at Zihe and Tridacna, "However, now the mansion is vigorously investigating all the servants, um... think about it both of you, on weekdays, who Those who are not very kind to you, are not friendly, or are waiting to see our jokes in Qingshui Pavilion, you can use your hands and feet."
Zihe instantly understood what Xie Lingqin meant, "Miss, don't worry."
Tridacna blinked, but was very excited, "Really?"
Xie Lingqin glanced at her and smiled, "What's wrong?"
The next day.
Early in the morning, there were nearly twenty maidservants lined up in the front yard of the General's Mansion.
All of them are carrying burdens, as if they are face-to-face, as if they are in mourning.
"Okay, I'll give you one month's extra money. Let's all go." The middle-aged nanny in charge waved her hand, and these people realized that there was no hope, and turned around drooping.
However, there are still people who are not reconciled.
"I'm the second aunt's distant nephew, are you making a mistake?"
"Shut up, the second aunt is not mean to you. Who told you to cause trouble outside all day long? I don't know if you don't check it. If you check it, you haven't committed too many things? What are you still doing here?" Step forward and scold.
Every word and every word, the inner meaning, the man is not stupid, he heard it, immediately stroked his face, and then knelt down on the ground.
"Auntie, it's my fault for hurting you."
"Okay, let's go home quickly."
People left, and the front yard was suddenly empty.
"Aunt Wan, you are pregnant and heavy now, let the old slave do the work, you go and rest." The nun said to Aunt Wan who was sitting behind her.
It sounded like a humble tone, but it was not polite, not kind, and his eyes were raised high, clearly not taking Aunt Wan seriously.
Aunt Wan glanced at her, didn't say anything, and let the maid help her down.
The nanny looked at Aunt Wan's back with a haughty expression, "Hmph, it's just that mothers are more expensive than children, and it's early to conceive in October. Fortunately, I know my duty."
In the dark, the figure hidden behind the flower branches flashed, and quickly headed towards Qingshui Pavilion.
It was Zihe.
"Miss, as you expected, Second Aunt really knows how to be a human being. Dismissing those people probably won't shake her position in the general's heart."
"Hmm..." Xie Lingqin gently put down the teacup in his hand, his brows were calm and his eyes were watery, "I didn't want to shake her position in father's heart."
This situation is now unshakable.
Zihe was a little puzzled, and looked at Xie Lingqin puzzled.
Xie Lingqin pursed her lips, smiling like a breeze and a bright moon.
"Zihe, have you heard of the eldest son of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Industry?"
"That scum?" Zihe subconsciously blurted out, suddenly felt that he had made a slip of the tongue, smiled a little awkwardly, lowered his eyebrows, "It's because the lady treated the slaves too well, but she told the slaves to lose their composure in front of the lady."
Xie Lingqin shook her head slightly, but she was quite calm, "Well, father listened to Second Aunt and wanted to marry me to the scum you mentioned."
"What?" Zihe was startled, "Miss, you are beautiful, smart and wise...Even if the general doesn't know how handsome you are, he can't marry you to such a person. You are the daughter of the general's mansion." Because of Xie Lingqin's calmness, Zihe was obviously very angry.
Xie Lingqin looked at her, "So, do you think, for a father who doesn't care about my life, death and happiness, do I, my daughter, still need him to be my reliance? So, what is Second Aunt's position in his heart? What does it matter, they are all..." Xie Lingqin's eyes burst into a cold smile, "However, they are all the same breed."
Zihe's eyes narrowed, looking at Xie Lingqin who was so handsome and exquisite in front of him, at this moment, for some reason, he felt a little distressed in his heart.
The dignified Miss of the General's Mansion, the daughter of a woman who was once a splendid woman in the world, her grandfather's family is also the home of Zhongming Dingshi. It seems that the stars are holding the moon, but she lives such a life.
No wonder, he suddenly became so cold-hearted.
"So..." Leaning slightly, Xie Lingqin sighed again, "According to the current situation, besides relying on the prince, do I have any other way out?"
The situation is stronger than the people.
If you don't fight back, General Xie will follow the clues, and the shops will be able to find out.
Moreover, the prince is still waiting for her to explain about the menstrual belt.
Really, people are hard to break down, want to cry but have no tears.
Zihe remained silent. In the past, she would have hoped that the young lady would be with the prince and get his help. However, from the way she saw Prince Yi that day, it was obvious that the prince had no sympathy for the young lady...
into the night.
The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and the moonlight is like silver, covering the entire Beirong capital with a layer of silver light.
And the prince's mansion.
It was Xie Lingqin's first visit to the Prince's Mansion.
Sure enough, it is not the same as the ordinary mansion, not to mention the layout of the mansion, but to say that the guards, servants, maids, all of them are put in the ordinary mansion.
"Miss, the crown prince said, let you wait for him here." At this time, Zihe stood behind Xie Lingqin and whispered.
Xie Lingqin glanced at her, "I know, besides, I have been waiting for two hours, when we came, it was just dark."
Zihe...
Are you sure this isn't a complaint?
However, the lady is too calm.
You know, in the eyes of outsiders, although the prince is cold-tempered, he is as gentle as a breeze, but only they know that the real prince is the master that no one can figure out.
I don't know if the lady can pass the crown prince.
The night was getting darker, and I drank almost two pots of tea.
"The tea in the prince's mansion is really better than the tea outside." In the quiet room for a long time, this was another sentence from Xie Lingqin after waiting for another hour.
Zihe couldn't answer.
"Zihe, tell me..." Xie Lingqin lightly touched the tea cover, with a casual tone, "Tell me, does the crown prince want me to stay overnight, and that's why he made me wait so long on purpose."
"This..." Zihe wanted to cry but had no tears.
The prince must not have such thoughts.
"If not." Xie Lingqin said again, "Is the crown prince delighted in me and deliberately attracted my attention like this?"
"Plop." Outside the room, there was a sudden sound of a human body falling to the ground.
Xie Lingqin and Zihe looked at each other before walking out of the room.
Outside the courtyard, a young man with a chubby round face but bright eyebrows and nimble hands and feet was slapping his buttocks and grinning. When he saw Xie Lingqin and Zihe coming out, his smile became brighter , "Oh, my name is Tinghai, hello Miss Lingqin."
"Okay..." Xie Lingqin drew his voice, then turned to look at Zihe, only to see that Zihe had already raised his hand to cover his eyes.
It is clear.
shame.
"Are you coming to the Prince's Mansion to steal?" Xie Lingqin asked.
Listening to the sea……
Immediately looked up and down at himself, so confused.
He is so suave and suave, it doesn't look like he is here to steal.
"Haha, Ting Hai, I told you that you don't look good. If you don't believe me, look, you met someone with a discerning eye today." At this time, there was a burst of laughter, and another male voice fell from time to time.
Clear and bright eyes, open eyebrows, gloating, whoever it is if it's not Yu Qingyi.
"No way, Mr. Yi, Miss Lingqin is knowledgeable about books and etiquette, she is clearly praising me in disguise, you didn't hear clearly."
Yu Qingyi rolled her eyes, "Damn you, you want to fight again, don't you?" While speaking, Yu Qingyi flicked up his sleeves, as if he was going to fight.
No matter how calm Xie Lingqin was, his lips twitched a little when he saw the two men grinding their fists.
This is... what the hell.
The guards around the prince are so talented?
Start a fight after a disagreement?
It was still the prince of Prince Qing's mansion who was beating him.
The point is, this prince please take the initiative to fight?
"Young Master Yi, I wish you a successful start." Xie Lingqin thought for a while, although this Yu Qingyi did bad things with good intentions recently, he treated her well, so he expressed his encouragement.
"Ahem...that, Miss..." Behind him, Zihe seemed embarrassed, and took a step forward, "How about we, let's go into the house."
"No, it's a good thing that Prince Suo didn't come, and if these two people really compete, there is still a lack of a referee. We are idle and idle, so don't waste time. It happens that I am also depressed, so let me explain." Xie Lingqin said , and asked Zihe to move a stool out of the house.
The look of eagerness to try, the corners of Zihe's lips twitched even more.
So you are such a young lady... are you!
The two who were about to fight heard Xie Lingqin's words, put down their fighters and looked at Xie Lingqin one after another.
The expression on his face was unpredictable, and there was also a little bit of resentment.
"Fight, why don't you fight?" Xie Lingqin sat on the stool, urging in a calm tone.
In her previous life, she liked to watch wrestling matches. This was her only hobby, and it was also the only thing that made her smile.
So, she's serious.
"Hit what?" A deep voice suddenly floated over, freezing the atmosphere.
Xie Lingqin clearly saw Tinghai and Yu Qingyi's complexion change, and immediately changed their posture, and immediately stood up.
Ting Hai is like a soldier who is under review at any time, while Yu Qingyi is the enchanting charm of flowing water.
And Xie Lingqin also turned her head to look outside the red-walled courtyard.
Like a gust of wind, like a gust of cold, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, walking calmly, taking advantage of the moonlight, approaching step by step, beautiful as jade, and extraordinary handsome.
What's more special is that elegant and graceful temperament, as soon as it appears, it can overwhelm all the spring flowers.
The innate power of a king is nothing more than that.
However, he was able to control it very well, just for a moment, as if everything just now was an illusion.
Looking at it again, the prince is just a bit too cold, that's all.
"My daughter, I have met the prince." Of course, no matter how handsome he is, Xie Lingqin will not lose himself and salute the prince.
However, the crown prince didn't ask for a waiver.
Thus, Xie Lingqin bent her waist slightly, lowered her head, revealing a section of her neck that was whiter than jade, shining brightly in the moonlight.
"you……"
"Subordinates are inspecting and inspecting." Only the crown prince's voice was heard, obviously there was no sound, but Tinghai disappeared in an instant.
"That..." Yu Qingyi glanced at Xie Lingqin, then looked at the prince quietly, touched her chin, and stepped forward carefully, "Well, let me tell you, this Xie Lingqin, look, she is thin and small , don't bully her, what, people come to you for help, you are almost the same, just sell me face..."
The prince didn't speak, but just gave Yu Qingyi a sideways glance.
Yu Qingyi's voice froze, she swallowed, and waved her hands gigglingly, "Well, I'm just joking, just joking."
Then, the figure instantly disappeared in the original.
The surroundings, the atmosphere, are inexplicably serious.
Xie Lingqin...
Is this Yu Qingyi so afraid of the prince?
"Do you think..." Xie Lingqin was thinking, when suddenly he felt pressure coming from above his head, and at the same time, Liang Bo's voice seemed to have an evil spirit resounding above his head.
Looking up, the prince is close in front of you, but only half a step away, breathing, distant and peaceful, it seems that it is cold.
Xie Lingqin shuddered unconsciously.
"Why do you think you can ask Bengong to help you?" Yu Wenyao looked at the woman in front of him, every word seemed to be whispering, but it was more like a threat.
You dared to plot against him last night and didn't punish you, you still don't know the heights of heaven and earth.
"Didn't the prince say before that I should come to you?" Xie Lingqin raised his neck, neither humble nor overbearing.
"That was before."
Xie Lingqin...
Yuzu, is this a denial? !
"Now you have stolen the cotton cloth from my prince's mansion." The prince said again, and there seemed to be a touch of ridicule when he spoke.
Xie Lingqin pursed her lips and looked at Zihe beside her.
Zihe's head almost fell to his knees.
She didn't really cheat the master, she really couldn't find it, how could she know, the prince didn't check the treasury on weekdays, but did it last night.
Xie Lingqin was speechless for this unlucky girl.
"This cotton cloth thing, it's like this..."
"Could it be that you use it yourself and want to slander others?"
Xie Lingqin opened his mouth, looked at the prince, his words were stuck in his throat, he couldn't get up, he couldn't get down.
Take a deep breath, take a deep breath.
She is not angry, she is not angry.
She was the best agent in her previous life and the most stable genius.
"So, why do you ask Bengong to help you now?"
Take another deep breath.
Xie Lingqin raised her eyes and smiled, "If you have to say that I have something to rely on..." Xie Lingqin raised his eyebrows and stood upright, "I think I look pretty good."
Sorry, it's late today, as soon as Xinzhi came back from the hospital, he was busy with non-stop work~
