Chapter 222 Tell you to pretend! Weird(1/2)
In this case, Han Jiangxue naturally had no choice. She secretly thought that one day she would have the opportunity to go and meet Qier's sisters-in-law. I guess they should have a clearer idea of Qier's current situation.
Today, there are also guests coming to Prince Luo's Mansion, and there are also people coming from the female family members, but with so many people coming and going, it is really not suitable to ask about Luo Er alone.
The thing was a wedding gift from Luo Qier to her sister-in-law, so Han Jiangxue directly asked Shui'er to hand the box to her sister-in-law and signaled her to accept it.
Lin Xiaoxiao opened the box in front of everyone. Inside was a pair of extremely beautiful gold and jade bracelets, which were worth a lot of money at a glance.
Lin Xiaoxiao naturally knew that Concubine Luo would give her things because of her sister-in-law's face, so she looked at Han Jiangxue and asked, not knowing how to return this gift so as not to lose Han Jiangxue's face.
"This is Empress Luo's love. Sister-in-law can just keep it with peace of mind. There is no need to think about anything else." Han Jiangxue smiled and said to her sister-in-law that she didn't need to be anxious, let alone worry about things like returning gifts. The master in the palace would just reward the things given by her, so naturally there was no need to do so.
Just like the worldly people outside the palace, I went out of my way to return some kind of gift.
Luo'er is now a palace concubine, so she can no longer scream Qier Qier in front of people like before. Although Luo Fei's scream sounds a little distant, it is still to her.
No matter what, it will save Luo'er some unnecessary trouble.
Seeing this, Lin Xiaoxiao didn't say anything else, and quickly asked the maid to put the things away. Anyway, my sister-in-law couldn't do anything wrong with such matters.
Just as I put my things away, there was another knock on the door. This time there was no surprise. Naturally, it was the groom and the groom who came back.
Han Jing didn't seem to have drunk too much. He seemed to have removed the smell of alcohol from his body before he came in. He was in high spirits and there was no trace of any real drunkenness.
It's just that everyone gets drunk even if they are not drunk. Thinking about the lovely wife in the new house will make you drunk early in the morning.
Seeing this, Han Jiangxue also knew that a woman's life is worth a thousand pieces of gold, so she naturally stopped playing such annoying roles, and soon took the initiative to help her brother and evacuated all the maids in the new house one by one.
The wedding night was left to the brother and sister-in-law to have a good time.
The guests outside had all left by now, and my father and others were still busy seeing off the last few important guests. The Han Mansion, which had been so enthusiastic all day, finally became a little quieter.
Han Jiangxue originally wanted to help out, but after she came out of her brother's house, Shui'er whispered to her that Mo Li was waiting for her in her room and seemed to have drank a lot. He looked drunker than the eldest young master.
Much more.
As a result, Han Jiangxue naturally stopped going to the front yard and quickly led people back to her house.
When I went in, I saw that Mo Li was half-lying on his bed, with his eyes closed and looking very drunk. The other servants in the yard were all taken away early by Shui'er.
He opened it so that no one would see his gossip, so he left Dong Ling there to take care of him.
"Why are you so drunk?" Han Jiangxue sat next to Mo Li, stretched out her hand and patted Mo Li's cheeks that were very red from the wine. Seeing that Mo Li didn't react, she hurriedly raised her eyes to Shui'er and asked, "Are you there?"
Do you want someone to prepare sobering soup?"
"Miss, I don't know much about this slave. Just now Dong Ling said that he would take care of Mr. Mo." Shui'er replied quickly when she saw this, and couldn't help but look at Dong Ling as she spoke.
When Dong Ling heard this, he suddenly felt as if he had made a big mistake, and said bravely: "No, not yet. My subordinate has forgotten."
Hearing this, Ziyue couldn't help but complain: "How do you take care of your young master when he is so drunk? You don't even remember to prepare the sobering soup?"
"I...I..." Dong Ling's face was swollen and red, and he couldn't speak for a while.
"Forget it, forget it, he's a grown man who doesn't know how to take care of people." Shui'er smiled and smoothed things over, and quickly said to her young lady: "Miss, I'll go and prepare the sobering soup right now."
"Go and get a basin of hot water first." Han Jiangxue nodded and gave instructions. Then she glanced at Dong Ling and wondered if this guy could take care of others. His son was as drunk as a pig, and he actually
What does it mean to take care of someone when you just leave them on the couch and watch over them?
Dong Ling saw Han Jiangxue's eyes full of blame, and felt really aggrieved.
He secretly glanced at the young master who hadn't even raised his eyelids for a while, but he could only go to play the role of a boy and fetch hot water without saying a word. Anyway, he couldn't say that he was ready to do all these things just now.
But he must have been stopped by his own son.
Soon, hot water came. Han Jiangxue twisted a towel and wiped Mo Li's face several times, then took care of Mo Li herself.
Upon seeing this, Ziyue and others looked at each other and quietly retreated without staying in the room to disturb them.
"It's okay, why did you drink so much? I asked you to find someone to drink for my brother, but I didn't ask you to go to the battle yourself to drink, you fool!" She muttered in a low voice while wiping away: "Isn't it okay to drink like this this time?
Are you comfortable? You deserve it!"
While talking, she seemed a little annoyed. Han Jiangxue simply stretched out her hand to pinch Mo Li's nose and said with an amused expression: "I asked you to drink so much, I asked you to get drunk, I asked you to get drunk and you didn't respond honestly.
Rest at home! Well, anyway, you are drunk and unconscious now. If I don’t take the opportunity to teach you a lesson, how can I be worthy of you coming to my place to occupy my bed? "
Several times in a row, the force in Han Jiangxue's hand was really not too light, but Mo Li still didn't react at all, as if he was drunk and unconscious.
Seeing that her plan failed, Han Jiangxue didn't mess with the poor nose anymore. She was kind-hearted and grabbed one of Mo Li's ears and threatened: "You are still pretending to me? If you don't pretend to open your eyes anymore,
, I will have you thrown into the street naked, and then I will see you..."
"Are you willing?" Mo Li, who had been unaffected and pretended to be drunk, finally blinked his eyes, sat up very quickly and took Han Jiangxue's hand into his own.
"No more pretending?" Han Jiangxue saw that this guy finally showed his true colors, so she didn't fall into the trap and answered the words about reluctant to let go. She rolled her eyes at him and hummed, "Have you ever heard of the story of the boy who cried wolf?"
"I really haven't heard of this story, why don't you tell it to me?" Mo Li moved a little and rubbed his whole body against Han Jiangxue, with a standard look on his rogue face.
"Sit tight, or you will throw it away!" Han Jiangxue did not accept this trick, and quickly threw the annoying guy far away, threatening him to be more honest: "It's already this time, why are you running away from me?
Come here?"
Okay. Although they are engaged now, they are not married yet. She can't let this guy go in and out of her house as he pleases, just like his own back garden. She really can't get used to it too much.
Being thrown aside in disgust by Han Jiangxue, Mo Li felt aggrieved. Maybe it was because he had drunk a lot of wine today. In short, Mo Li looked much more interesting than ever before.
"I pretended very well just now. Logically speaking, there should be no flaws. How did you know that I was pretending to be drunk?" He did not directly answer Han Jiangxue's question, but he was more or less honest than before.
"You are pretending to be the same, but although the smell of alcohol is very strong in your body, there is not much unpleasant odor. And when Ziyue blamed Dong Ling just now, the boy looked aggrieved. So naturally I
I guess you are pretending to be drunk."
Han Jiangxue looked like you really thought I was so easy to deceive, and continued: "Besides, today is my eldest brother's wedding, not yours. With your temperament, how can you drink yourself like that so easily?
"
"I can't get drunk on the day I get married, otherwise what will you do then..." Mo Li smiled particularly meaningfully, and the atmosphere in the whole room quickly became ambiguous.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Han Jiangxue saw this. She interrupted the guy directly and tried not to blush too much. She immediately changed the subject and said, "Tell me, do you have anything serious to do when you come to see me so late?
If not, I will ask Dong Ling to take you back!"
"Okay, okay, I'm talking about business, I won't tease you anymore." Seeing that Han Jiangxue was swollen and red but still pretending to be tough, Mo Li was not willing to tease her like this anymore, so he took the initiative to show weakness and followed
Han Jiangxue's topic became more formal.
"I saw someone from the palace came to the Han family just now. They seemed to be in a hurry and kept a low profile, as if they didn't want to be seen." Mo Li quickly said: "I thought it was a little strange, so I didn't go so quickly.
Go back and wait for you to come back to the house to ask what happened."
He didn't mention Zhang Haocheng, let alone what Zhang Haocheng said to Han Jiangxue. In Mo Li's view, it was a war between men, so there was no need for Han Jiangxue to worry about it.
What's more, he didn't want to be fooled by Zhang Haocheng. He wished that Han Jiangxue would forget all about Zhang Haocheng. How could he stupidly take the initiative to say this and that in front of Jiang Xue?
Zhang Haocheng wants to gain a sense of presence?
Therefore, his delay in leaving was really because he was curious about the mysterious and low-key palace man he saw. Of course, wanting to spend more time alone with Han Jiangxue was also a very important reason, but there was no need to say it.
Upon hearing that Mo Li actually saw the palace servant who came to deliver something, Han Jiangxue didn't hide anything and directly told Luo Qier that someone had specially sent someone to deliver a gift to her sister-in-law.
"That's someone from Qi'er's palace. It wasn't long before Qi'er entered the palace. Naturally, it was inconvenient to be too public, so I just let people quietly give away things and leave without even saying a word." Han Jiangxue was slightly sad:
"I don't know what's going on with her now, or what happened to the concubine. I don't think her life would be easy in there, otherwise she would be so cautious even sending someone to send a congratulatory gift."
As if thinking of Luo Qier's situation, she felt a little uncomfortable. Han Jiangxue didn't pay much attention to Mo Li's expression at this moment. Otherwise, she would have wondered why this guy looked so weird after hearing the cause of the incident.
.
"Are you sure that the stuff was really sent by Luo Fei?" After a while, Mo Li suddenly asked Han Jiangxue a very strange question.
Hearing this, Han Jiangxue put away her previous thoughts and seemed a little puzzled: "If it wasn't from her, who else could have given it to me? What are you doubting?"
In the palace, besides Luo Qier, who else could specially send gifts to her sister-in-law because of her brother's marriage?
"I don't know what I'm suspecting, I just think it's a bit strange."
Mo Li frowned subconsciously. He looked at Han Jiangxue and asked: "Based on your relationship with Luo Fei, it is not impossible for her to have someone send a gift to your sister-in-law. However, the time when this thing was delivered was...
It feels a little strange. If it were you, would you choose to have things delivered at this time?"
Hearing Mo Li's words, Han Jiangxue couldn't help but frown.
Mo Li is right, this thing is really weird. Since Qier knows that today is her brother's wedding, and if she wants to give gifts, she would normally have the things delivered a few days in advance, or simply delay them.
Two days is okay.
Even if you don't want people to know that you are keeping a low profile, you wouldn't choose such a time. Wouldn't it be more conspicuous to let people leave the palace so late? Thinking about it this way, it makes people feel even more strange.
"But, if Qi'er didn't send this thing, who would have sent it?" Han Jiangxue couldn't help but look at Mo Li, and instantly felt that this matter was getting weirder and weirder the more she thought about it.
Who would risk Luo Qier's name to send a gift to her sister-in-law? This kind of thing is not a big deal in the first place. Logically speaking, there is no need for anyone to do it!
"I'm not saying that this thing must have been sent by someone else in Luo Fei's name. I just think the whole thing is a bit strange. As for the specific details, I can't figure out too many clues at the moment." Mo Li smiled and touched it.
He touched Han Jiangxue's hair and signaled her not to think too much: "Don't think too much, maybe I'm overthinking, maybe this is just a coincidence."
"Tomorrow I will ask the palace informants to find a way to confirm it and see if this is the case. I will inform you as soon as there is news." Mo Li decisively stopped making any more useless speculations. In his opinion,
, whether there is any problem or not, it is better to check directly.
After being caressed by Mo Li a few times, Han Jiangxue immediately sighed and said: "That's fine, it won't help me to guess around here. If possible, ask your people to check for me how Qier is doing in the palace.
I don’t know what’s going on, I’m just a little worried about her.”
