Chapter Ten
"Auntie, the second young lady is here to see you." In the Red Courtyard of Ning'an Marquis Mansion, Leng Xiang was leaning on the couch next to the window in a daze. The thirteen-year-old maid Tao'er opened the bamboo curtain and said softly.
Leng Xiang was a little surprised and quickly got up and got down to the ground. The movement was a little violent, and she felt dizzy and fell back down again.
Liuli happened to come in, took a few steps forward and gave her a hand.
Lengxiang sat down and smiled apologetically at Liuli, "Second Miss, please sit down quickly." She turned around and said slightly annoyed to Tao'er, "You ignorant girl, Second Miss is here, why didn't you report it early?"
"I didn't let them say it." Liuli took over and sat next to Lengxiang, "I heard that my aunt is sick, and I came to visit. If I bother everyone, it will lose my original intention."
"How dare I do that?" Leng Xiang was a little frightened.
Although she was a generation older, she was just a concubine after all. And this nominally adopted daughter of the Marquis turned out to be a serious princess. Her biological brother was also the leader of the Cao Gang, and he was extremely rich. He took care of her.
I mean, I might be an official in the Ministry of Water in the future. Looking at the entire Hou Mansion, the two serious ladies may not be as noble as this one. But from the looks of it before, this lady may have a cold temperament. Who would have thought
But he is an enthusiastic person.
"What's this, we're a family." Liuli smiled slightly, and her usually expressionless face suddenly became alive.
Leng Xiang was slightly startled, staring at Liuli's face and said, "I'm not trying to get close to the second lady, it's just... you look really kind, as if you've seen her before somewhere."
"Has Er Yi Niang ever been to Jiangnan?" Liuli asked.
Leng Xiang shook his head.
"Then it's impossible to meet." Liuli took the tea from Tao'er and took a sip. "Since I was a child, this is the first time I have left the land of Jiangnan. My aunt thinks I have a nice face, so maybe I have a good relationship with my aunt.
I know someone who looks very similar." Putting down the tea cup, a scene from the past suddenly flashed into his mind.
She was recognized as the goddaughter of the Huo family and became Huo Honglian's little sister. Less than a month later, her godfather Huo Jianglin was shot in the chest with an arrow from a Tatar attack. He died shortly after being rescued by his subordinates and returned home. Godmother Li
When she fell ill, the entire Huo Family Army's burden fell on her sister alone. But her sister was a woman after all. There was a turmoil within the Huo Family Army, and various forces were fighting overtly and covertly. Only then did her sister and her understand that maybe her sister could be good at fighting and resourceful, but in doing so
Dad is the real flag of the Huo family. When the flag falls, my sister will have to spend a lot of energy to restore peace to the Huo family and Ning'an County in the northwest.
At that time, she desperately wanted to help her sister, but unfortunately she was too weak to help her. Instead, she almost lost her life several times because someone didn't want her to be included in the Huo family's genealogy. Her sister could not be distracted.
She sent her and her godmother to an unknown female temple to temporarily escape the limelight. But from that day until her sister got married, she never returned to the Huo family mansion.
People say that a girl changes her age, from a six-year-old girl to a sixteen-year-old girl. It's strange that Lengxiang can recognize her. She probably just feels a little familiar. But she remembers Lengxiang clearly.
He and Leng Yu remember how well-behaved and docile they were back then. If it weren't for their elder sisters, they would have been sold into that dirty place long ago. At this age, they were nothing more than a reed mat and a roll thrown into a mass grave. Now they have been reborn,
He looks noble and cool, but forgets that his bones are nothing but mud.
Thinking of this, Liuli's heart hardened. However, there was a decent smile on her face, which was not overbearing or talkative, just out of love for the guests.
"No." Leng Xiang glanced at Liuli again, but after all she had no impression, "There are all kinds of wonders in the world, let alone two people who look a little alike?"
This is what I've been waiting for!
Liuli thought to herself, but she stood up, "My aunt is sick, so I can't stay much longer. I just came to visit today, and I brought something by the way. Please accept it." After saying that, without waiting for Leng Xiang to speak, he faced
I clapped my hands twice outside the window.
Taoer quickly opened the bamboo curtain again.
It's when the sun rises and the temperature gets hotter. The Xiangfei bamboo curtain lifts up, and a warm and smoky breath comes oncoming.
Qing Dai and Qing Ning walked in with their heads bowed, one behind the other, following the behavior and rules of the maids of the great family.
Liuli picked up the green lacquer box in Qingdai's hand and said, "This is the soothing incense that my brother specially asked someone to get. He was afraid that I would not be able to sleep well if I changed places. If you light a little of this incense before going to bed, you will be able to have a peaceful night.
.I heard that my aunt always dreams more and sleeps less, so her health suffers."
"Why is this so embarrassing?" Leng Xiang was a little flattered.
She had been ill for the past few days, and only her aunt came to see her once. The two concubines just sent their maids to have a look. What was chilling was that not only did the master not come, but Leng Yu didn't even pay attention to her.
The sisters climbed high branches together. When they reached the ground, they found that it was too crowded for two people.
"What matters is what the thing is worth, and what matters is the talent." Liuli casually put the box on the pit table, then turned to Qing Ning and said, "Bring the piece of gold-woven fabric to Auntie."
Leng Xiang was surprised again.
Zhijinluo is a very expensive fabric. Because it is a thin leno, it has gold threads woven inside. The gold threads are a few minutes thinner than hair. When worn on the body, the clothes made have a faint golden light, which is particularly special.
Charming. It's just rare to find Zhijinluo. It can't be bought by ordinary wealthy or powerful families, even if they have money.
"I don't know how to pick things, but seeing my aunt's grace and grace, I thought she would be a perfect match for her. Wearing two sets of clothes will definitely be particularly eye-catching." Liuli seemed to be boasting unintentionally.
Leng Yu's heart trembled.
Eye-catching! Eye-catching! Didn't she just want Mr. Hou to look at her one more time? Thinking this way, she couldn't help but reach out and caress her face. At the same time, being accepted as a concubine, Leng Yu suppressed her in every way, even if...
Leng Yu also refused to let her take a step.
Zhijin Luo, a famous clothing material, seems to have a faint glow even in a dark inner room.
Leng Xiang took it with her own hands and couldn't help but compare it with her body. She imagined that when she put on Zhi Jinluo's clothes, the surprise in the Marquis's eyes was just like the first time he saw her. But, inadvertently...
When he looked up, he saw Qing Ning's youthful and heroic face, and immediately screamed in fright. His hands were loose, the cloth fell, and even a small one was hit and jumped.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Liuli asked quickly with concern.
"She, she...who is she?" Leng Yu shook her hands and pointed at Qing Ning.
Qing Ning looked puzzled and a little scared.
"What did you do to shock Second Aunt?" Liuli was slightly annoyed.
"My slave didn't do anything." Qing Ning felt wronged, very innocent, and at a loss.
"Auntie, this is my girl, her name is Qing Ning." Liuli stepped forward and said to Lengxiang, "Auntie is not in a good state of mind. Did she see someone by mistake? Auntie said she had never been to Jiangnan before, so I guarantee that you will
I must have never seen this girl before, she grew up in Caobang."
It was only because it was too sudden that Leng Xiang reacted so violently. At this time, she calmed down and realized that although Qing Ning's face was 70% similar, it was not that person after all. Three years ago, she watched that person die with her own eyes.
, one corpse and two lives. How could he stand in front of her alive now? She thought too much. No wonder the Marquis didn't like her.
"I'm so shameless." Leng Xiang embarrassedly covered her forehead with a handkerchief, "The room was dark, I recognized the wrong person, and I was so startled that I couldn't call it a joke to the second lady."
"Who is the person who looks like Qing Ning? Does my aunt owe her a lot of money? When we met, she was so frightened." Liuli said as if joking, "It's okay, aunt, just tell her and I'll help you pay it back.
"
Leng Xiang shook her head. The past suddenly flooded into her mind uncontrollably, making her whole body shiver and sweat forming on her forehead.
It's not that person! It's not that person at all. It's just that similar face, and the heroic spirit that can't be concealed. Even if she looks at it, she feels that the thorn on her chest is beating constantly, which is extremely uncomfortable.
Seeing this, Tao'er quickly held her waist and whispered, "Auntie, are you dizzy again? Why not go to the pit and lie down for a while."
Leng Xiang pressed her forehead weakly and looked at Liuli again, but she didn't dare to look at Qing Ning out of the corner of her eye.
"Auntie, you need to rest more. I'll leave first. If you need anything, just go to Mo Yuxuan to find me." Liuli said goodbye knowingly.
It wasn't until she walked outside that Liuli showed a trace of a mocking smile.
But Qing Ning couldn't help it, lowered her head and laughed fiercely, "Look how scared she is! Look, Yinunu, we are going to come here more often in the future, so we might as well scare her to death. No wonder she is weak-minded and weak after she has done something wrong. She is so ungrateful."
Man, God took her as soon as possible."
"We don't rely on God." Liuli raised her head.
The sun was bright, and she squinted her eyes, but did not flinch. The people sent by Shitou investigated and found that her sister was more than seven months pregnant when she died... In the past, my sister saved countless people's lives in Ning'an County.
What’s the result? So you’re counting on God? Let’s forget it.
"Now you understand why the lady doesn't let you show up in public, right?" Qingdai and Qingning muttered, "Although the old people in our yard will also see that your appearance is very similar to the eldest lady, it is said that they are the same.
It's one thing, it's another thing to suddenly show up in front of those people."
"Fortunately, the girls from Hongyuan and Cuiyuan all bought it now, otherwise they would have chewed their tongues and the effect would not have been as good today." Qing Ning said proudly, "Seeing her like that is really a relief."
"The relief is yet to come, don't worry." Liuli's cold voice was emotionless, "It's not as painful as dying with a knife, just take your time."
At this time, in the main room of Hongyuan, Lengxiang was lying on the bed, but she couldn't sleep. Qing Ning's face kept transforming into the appearance of the eldest lady. She was dressed in fiery red, and her blood stained half of the room. It should have been
Does it hurt so much? She smiled and said, "I hope my sister doesn't know these things, otherwise, you will all die a miserable death. Just be sure not to let her come to your door."
Leng Xiang sat up suddenly, feeling as if a big hole had been burned through her chest.
Yes, fire. One month after the news of Huo Honglian's death came out, the entire Huo family was completely burned by a fire. There were more than a hundred men and women in it, and no one survived. Including the little one picked up by the eldest lady.
What is the name of the beggar girl? Only the eldest lady knew her original name. Mrs. Huo later changed her name to Huo Hongjin.
Yes, the Huo family are all dead. It is said that the Tatars took advantage of the situation. If they are dead, then no one will know about those dirty things that cannot be brought to light. No one will know that she and Leng Yu have done anything. something.
No one will take revenge, because the Huo family is dead. All of them are dead.
