The female supporting role turns over: the prince regent's favorite

Chapter 287 Treat him as a real brother!

The two looked towards the door at the same time.

Lin Qingqian frowned, and said in a low voice, "It's so late, who will come to Liuyuan?"

My intuition is bad.

Chun Xia and Qiu Dong also heard the commotion, they came out from the side room, Qiu Dong said: "Miss, this servant is going to open the door."

Lin Qingqian nodded: "Go."

After opening the door, Qiudong said in surprise, "Old lady, why are you here?"

Without saying a word, Lin Qingrou pushed Qiudong away, and shouted sharply, "Get out of the way!"

Before Qiudong could react, Lin Qingrou and the others had already entered the courtyard.

The conversation was interrupted, Gu Changgeng's thoughts were in a mess, and he froze in place until the old lady led a group of people in front of him, and he came back to his senses.

When Lin Qingqian saw the old lady, she was surprised, but she was not surprised to see Lin Qingrou instead.

She thought to herself, what the hell is Lin Qingrou trying to do this time?

Lin Qingqian stepped forward to bless Fushen, and said, "Grandmother, it's so late, why are you here in Qingqian Courtyard?"

The old lady remained silent, her eyes looked up and down at Lin Qingqian, and over Gu Changgeng who fell behind her, her eyes were complicated and her expression was a little displeased.

Lin Qingrou said in a strange way: "Third sister, why did grandma come to your courtyard in the middle of the night? Don't you have to ask yourself?"

"Ask myself?"

"If it wasn't in the middle of the night, when the lone man and widow were in the same room, and grandma was afraid that you would do something that would ruin her reputation, grandma would have to get up and come here in a hurry."

Gu Changgeng's heart tightened, and just as he was about to step forward to explain, Lin Qingqian secretly gave him a look, signaling him not to speak,
Lin Qingqian's eyes were clear, she was neither humble nor overbearing, and she didn't appear to be half-distracted.

"How come the lonely man and widow are in the same room? Didn't the fourth sister see it? This is in the courtyard, and my two maids are there."

"Third Sister, you must be eloquent. You secretly let a man into your courtyard at night. If it spreads out, it will not only damage your own reputation, but also cause our prime minister's mansion to be ridiculed!"

"Secretly let the man into your garden? Did the fourth sister see it with her own eyes?"

"Gu Changgeng is here now! How else do you want to argue!"

Lin Qingqian calmly said: "So what the third sister said about secretly letting men into her garden at night was referring to Brother Chang Geng? But don't forget, Brother Chang Geng grew up in the prime minister's residence."

"Then he is also a man."

Lin Qingqian smiled, "Then if the second brother came to my yard at night, would the fourth sister be so eager to bring someone to "catch the rape"?!"

For the word "catch rape", she deliberately emphasized it a little bit harder, the implication is self-evident.

Noticing that the old lady's sharp eyes were on her, Lin Qingrou was quite annoyed: "You...don't talk nonsense! I told my grandmother that I was just afraid that the third sister would do something wrong. It's fine if you don't appreciate the third sister. Why bother beating her up?" One hand, say that I am full of sorrow!"

The old lady's face was gloomy, and she interrupted the back and forth between the two of them, "Shut up!"

With a cold face, the old lady glanced at Lin Qingqian and Gu Changgeng, and said in a deep voice: "Qingqian, tell me, why is it so late, and Gu Changgeng is in your courtyard?"

Gu Changgeng anxiously wanted to explain: "Madam, today is me..."

"Commander Gu, let Qingqian speak for herself."

Lin Qingqian gave Gu Changgeng a peaceful look, and said calmly, "Grandmother, brother Changgeng returned home after a few days off. He heard that I was not feeling well. He saw me fall into Mingyue Lake with his own eyes that day, so he was worried. I want to come over and ask a few questions."

Lin Qingqian paused: "Originally Brother Chang Geng didn't want to enter my yard. I asked Qiu Dong at the door, and he wanted to leave when he found out that I was fine. He told some interesting things he met in the palace."

The old lady was dubious, "Is that really the case?"

"Back to grandma, there is absolutely no falsehood in what she said plainly."

Lin Qingrou heard the words, and said sarcastically: "Third sister is in front of grandma, and no one sees, of course she said so, who would know what's going on behind the scenes?"

Lin Qingqian narrowed her eyes slightly, and said word by word: "Fourth sister! Don't look at others with your dirty eyes, I regard elder brother Chang Geng as my real brother! In my heart, he is no different from second elder brother!"

No one noticed that Gu Changgeng's face turned pale because of Lin Qingqian's words.

"you……"

Lin Qingqian stared closely at Lin Qingrou, not giving her a chance to speak: "Fourth sister, you happened to see Brother Chang Geng come into our courtyard and brought grandma here, is it really a coincidence?"

"I……"

"If I remember correctly, my grandmother clearly said that without her permission, the fourth sister is not allowed to go half a step out of Mingyuan. I didn't expect the fourth sister to be grounded, but she can know every move in my yard. !"

Sensing that Mrs. Lin was looking at her with colder eyes, Lin Qingrou hurriedly tried to explain: "Grandmother, no, what happened today was really a coincidence of my maid..."

Before she finished speaking, Lin Qingqian suddenly knelt on the old lady's knees with a "plop", with tears in her eyes, "Grandmother, you must make the decision for Qingqian."

The old lady felt distressed immediately, and went to help her herself, "Qingqian, you get up first, and talk slowly if you have something to do, grandma will definitely not let you be wronged."

Lin Qingqian shook her head with tears in her eyes, "Qingqian can't afford it, and I asked my grandmother to make the decision for me. Brother Chang Geng and I are innocent, and there has never been any transgression. This incident happened tonight. If it is spread by someone with a heart tomorrow, Qingqian's reputation will be ruined! As for who this person is... I think my grandmother can guess without Qingqian's name."

Lin Qingrou brought the old lady here, originally planning to catch the two lonely men and widows living together in the same room. Naturally, it would be best if they jumped into the Yellow River. Rumors can also spread, which will definitely make Lin Qingqian feel bad.

Her thoughts were punctured, and she became angry from embarrassment, "Third sister, you bitten Lu Dongbin, I told grandma today for your own good!"

Lin Qingqian didn't argue with him, she just knelt up straight, her eyes were red, her aggrieved appearance made her heart soften.

"I beg my grandmother to make the decision for me."

Being angered by Lin Qingqian, who is superb at acting, her chest hurts, Lin Qingrou gritted her teeth, "Grandmother, I..."

"you shut up!"

Lin Qingrou wanted to say more, but the old lady looked at her sharply, and she didn't dare to do it again, so she obediently shut her mouth.

The old lady helped Lin Qingqian up, and said softly: "Grandmother believes in you, if you really have something, you wouldn't open the courtyard door openly to let us in just now, don't worry, with grandma, who would dare to destroy you fame!"

The old lady gave Zhang Momo a look, Zhang Momo understood, and shouted to all the servant girls: "If a word about today's matter gets out, you won't have to stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion anymore."

All the servant girls were terrified, and hurriedly said: "Yes, Madam Zhang."

Lin Qingrou snorted unwillingly, causing the old lady to look at her coldly, "Qingrou, don't think that I don't know what's going on in your heart, next time, I'll send you to Jingxin Temple to eat fast and chant Buddha. I’m doing a good job of cultivating my body and mind in the temple!”

Lin Qingrou's face turned pale suddenly, she never thought that the old lady would be partial to Lin Qingqian now!
"What are you doing in a daze! If you don't help Fourth Miss go back, without my permission, if you dare to let Fourth Miss leave the Ming Garden for half a step, then go to Steward Fu to receive the punishment!"

Xianglan's face turned pale with fright, and she answered yes again and again, not daring to delay for a moment, and helped Lin Qingrou who was full of resignation to leave.

The old lady stroked Lin Qingqian's beautiful hair, and seeing her pale face, she said distressedly: "Since you are not feeling well, you should rest earlier."

"Yes, grandma, thank you just now, grandma."

"Silly girl, go back to the house and rest."

From the corner of Lin Qingqian's eyes, she secretly glanced at Gu Changgeng. Before she could see the expression on his face, she heard the old lady say, "Commander Gu, let's go with the old man. It just so happens that the old man has something to say to you."

Lin Qingqian became anxious, "Grandmother, today's matter really has nothing to do with Brother Chang Geng, it's me who insisted..."

"Why are you so anxious, will grandma punish people indiscriminately?"

"No grandma, I just..."

Gu Changgeng's eyes flickered, he took a step forward, and said, "You don't have to worry about Qingqian, the old lady is always sensible, and she won't punish me."

Lin Qingqian frowned and became thoughtful.

The old lady did not speak coldly to Gu Changgeng just now, and now that Gu Changgeng is the left commander of the Imperial Forest Army, he should not punish him at will.

Thinking of this, she blessed her body: "Yes, grandma, Qingqian will go back to the house to rest."

Before leaving, Lin Qingqian mouthed a word, see you tomorrow in Liyuan.

Gu Changgeng suppressed the complexities in his eyes, nodded slightly, and followed the old lady out of the Liuyuan.
