Concubine's Survival Handbook

Chapter 241 Lan Qian Returns
"Then have you found out who sent it?" Jing Ning looked at Xiao Yuan expectantly, and sure enough, Xiao Yuan shook her head lightly, "I didn't find out, it was too hidden. The concealment is the information that the people in my brother's intelligence camp got inadvertently when they were collecting information. Because the matter has nothing to do with the country and is not too important, so they can't use the people in my brother's intelligence camp to investigate. I sent my grandfather to my people I went down and searched, but I don’t have a lot of connections, so I didn’t find anything.”

After thinking about it, Xiao Yuan still expressed her inner thoughts, "I think the person who spread the news should be a minister of the court, and the official rank should not be low. One is because he can see that Lan Yao and Chen Zhi are together. scene, and then deduced the words of the two being together. If he hadn’t seen it, he would definitely not have said that. After all, the identities of the prostitute of the Duke’s Mansion and the proton of the country can’t be taken around for fun Yes. And Chen Zhi spends most of his time in the palace, so the people who can get in touch with him are usually court officials."

Seeing Jing Ning nodded slightly, Xiao Yuan continued to talk about her own opinion, "The second is the spread of this news. This matter did not spread among the common people in the market, but most of the ministers in the court knew about it." , As for the fact that there is no news about our two families, it must have been avoided on purpose. I don’t believe he can do this, except that he himself is above the court and his official rank is not low. sharp."

"Then we have to see who can get in touch with Chen Zhi and Lan Yao, and who is also at odds with Fuguo's government."

There was a moment of silence.Jing Ning was the first to break the silence, "Come on, let's go to Fuguo Duke's Mansion to see Lan Yao."

"Ah? Now?" Xiao Yuan was a little panicked, but she didn't object.The panic is that if I go to Fuguo Duke's Mansion now, I won't have the chance to inquire about Jing Ning's attitude towards this engagement, and I won't be able to say anything good for my brother.But compared to my brother's ironclad affairs, the sister's affairs are more important.So Xiao Yuan just hesitated for a while, and followed Jing Ning to hurry to Fuguo Duke's Mansion.

Xiao Yuan wanted to say something along the way, but seeing Jing Ning's slightly nervous face, she swallowed what she wanted to say in front of her elder brother, and comforted her, "Sister-in-law, don't worry. If the Duke is here, nothing will happen to Lan Yao. Duke Fu is also a person who has been on the battlefield and has made great achievements. My brother once said that this Duke Fu is not an ordinary person. So, this point A small conspiracy or something will definitely not be able to trap the Fuguo government."

Jing Ning replied lightly, "En." But he didn't express his worries, because he knew that Fu Guogong was powerful, so he was more worried.Jing Ning sees how much Fu Guogong loves Lan Yao, and how much Lan Yao doesn't like to be restrained and stay in his own mansion, this is well known, let alone the assistant who knows her granddaughter The Duke is gone, but now the Duke Fu personally ordered Lan Yao not to leave the mansion.Then this incident must have seriously affected Duke Fu's mansion, so Duke Fu gritted his teeth and issued a ban on Lan Yao.

Let the coachman speed up and drive to Fuguo Duke's Mansion.The door of Fuguo Duke's Mansion was closed, Xiao Yuan frowned and asked, "Sister-in-law, we won't be unable to get in today, right?"

"No." Jing Ning returned calmly, and Wen Xing knocked on the door again.

"Who is who? Fuguo Duke's Mansion has something to do at home recently, so they don't accept people."

"Miss from the Prime Minister's Mansion and Miss Xiao from the General's Mansion came to visit Miss Lan Yao, Duke Fu."

The door gradually opened a crack, and a young servant poked his head out, "It's Miss Zheng and Miss Xiao." The servant scratched his head, and the housekeeper ordered no one to enter, but these two young ladies are both If my eldest lady handed over the handkerchief, if she just stopped it like this, then my eldest lady would take out her anger for a while.

"The two eldest ladies wait for a while, and let the slaves go to report."

Xiao Yuan wanted to go forward to say something, but Jing Ning looked at her, who had a faint smile on her face. "it is good."

The door was closed again, Xiao Yuan looked puzzled, "It stands to reason that it shouldn't have reached this point, the door needs to be locked every day." Jing Ning didn't say anything, but her brows were also furrowed.

After a while, hurried footsteps could be heard faintly from the other side of the door, and then the door was opened, and the butler on the other side of the door looked apologetic, "Miss Zheng, Miss Xiao, please come in quickly, please come in quickly. If you want to come, you will be welcome."

Jing Ning and Xiao Yuan exchanged winks, "Housekeeper, it's broad daylight and the door of the house is locked, but what's the matter?"

"Hey, what's the matter?" The butler still had a smile on his face. "It was two days ago that our second lady came back. The second lady just came back. The master was afraid that there would be many people coming to visit the house, so he closed the door ahead of time." out of the mansion."

"Qianqian is back!" The news surprised Jing Ning and Xiao Yuan. Lan Qian is the sister of Lan Yao's compatriot, and she is three years younger than Lan Yao. They have a very good relationship.But Lan Qian was in poor health since she was a child, and she had to be sent back to her hometown of Yangzhou to recuperate when she was six years old.Lan Yao would go to Yangzhou to visit her every year, but Lan Qian was never taken back to live in the capital.

Although they are two sisters, their personalities are quite different, perhaps because of Lan Qian's poor health since childhood.

Lan Yao is noisy, but Lan Qian is quiet and doesn't like to talk.Lan Yao is easily impulsive, while Lan Qian is very calm in situations.

Except that Lan Yao is a little taller than ordinary women, and Lan Qian is stunted due to physical reasons, so that others can see that Lan Yao is her sister.From other perspectives, others will think that Lan Qian is the older sister, and Lan Yao is the lively younger sister.

"That's right. The second lady was picked up two days ago, but she fell ill just after arriving in the capital. The eldest lady has been taking care of the second lady for the past few days. She was afraid that the second lady's illness would infect the two ladies, so the eldest lady approached I haven't left the mansion to visit the two young ladies for a few days, and I haven't invited the two young ladies here. Please don't blame the two young ladies."

"But if there is anything to blame, don't blame, they are all good sisters." Xiao Yuan waved her hand indifferently, "I don't know how Qianqian's body is doing."

While the three of them were talking, they had already reached Lan Yao's courtyard, and Lan Yao and Lan Qian had already arrived at the gate to greet them. Lan Qian smiled softly, "Qianqian is fine, please trouble sister Jingning and sister Xiao Yuan." worry."

Looking at Lan Qian, whose face was still pale, Jing Ning felt a little distressed, "Why did you fall ill as soon as you came here, and your body hasn't recovered yet?" Jing Ning had seen the little Lan Qian when she was young, and Lan Qian Qian is very cute, even if she is not in good health, she will always smile and call her sister Jingning, sister Jingning sweetly.At that time, Lan Qian's slightly pale face made Jing Ning feel distressed.

"He's already in good health. Maybe he just came from Yangzhou, so he's a bit unaccustomed to the environment. It will be fine after a few days of care, sister Jingning, don't worry." As she spoke, the smile on Lan Qian's face became more sincere.
