Chapter 2 It’s not a suicide, it’s a sprained foot

"Princess, I'm so sorry. I really didn't know you were looking at the stars on the roof. I thought you couldn't get over it!"

Yunzhu knelt beside Lin Xingwei, clasped her hands together, and apologized to Lin Xingwei.

Lin Xingwei looked at her silly cute look, couldn't help but raised his hand and flicked her forehead, and said with a smile: "If you feel that you really can't forgive me, just go and tell my mother clearly and let her take care of me."

Remove the dogs from the front door.”

Those two dogs are Cang Yi dogs. They were specially raised by Mrs. Hou to visit the house after the death of Nanyang Marquis. They were named Maomao and Shishi respectively. Now they have grown to half a man's height and are so majestic and powerful that strangers generally dare not approach them easily.

.

Two dogs were guarding the door. If Lin Xingwei wanted to go to the latrine, he had to apply to the maid holding the dog at the door. They had to hold the dog away before Lin Xingwei dared to go out.

The two big gray dogs had to follow Lin Xingwei to the latrine along the way, and then back after they were done. One day of prisoner-like treatment was enough for her.

Yunzhu said bitterly: "I went to explain to Madam Hou, but Madam Hou and Aunt He didn't believe me. They thought I was excusing the princess."

Lin Xingwei sat in front of the case and couldn't help but yawned.

Last night, the two dogs barked from time to time, making her really sleepy.

Mrs. Hou was afraid that her servants would not be able to keep an eye on Lin Xingwei, so to be on the safe side, she used two ferocious gray dogs to keep an eye on her daughter.

Yunzhu couldn't help asking Mrs. Hou to remove the dog, so Lin Xingwei planned to go there in person.

Just as she was walking a short distance to Madam Hou's residence, the two blue yelps followed behind her. The two maids leading the dogs were pulled by the dogs and trotted after them.

As soon as he entered Mrs. Hou's bedroom, Lin Xingwei knelt down on the ground with a plop and said: "Mother, my daughter has realized her mistake. From now on, my daughter will definitely behave obediently and no longer seek life and death!"

Lin Xingwei raised three fingers and swore.

There are also two ladies sitting in Mrs. Hou's room, namely Lin Xingwei's second aunt Zhen and third aunt Pei.

Mrs. Hou's face was solemn and she said nothing.

When Mrs. Zhen saw Lin Xingwei's appearance, she chuckled and said, "It seems that Ran Ran is sincerely repentant. Sister-in-law, please don't be angry. Ran Ran still has to go out to meet people. We can't keep her locked up."

Lin Xingwei nodded vigorously, third aunt was right.

Mrs. Pei, the third aunt, also said: "It's a good thing to regret slowly. The most important thing now is how to deal with General Wei."

"General Wei had just hired him, and Ran Ran fell ill. General Wei's adoptive mother, Mrs. Lu, was already suspicious. Yesterday I saw the servants of the Lu family grabbing people from our family and questioning them at the gate of the Marquis' Mansion. Fortunately, our maid

His tone was strict and he didn't say anything."

"No matter how rigorous your tone is, it can't be watertight. We still have to be careful."

"That's right." Mrs. Zhen said: "Huaifeng is working in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and someone has already asked about Ran Ran's matter. He asked Huaifeng very bluntly if he couldn't think of it when he said that Princess Ning was there."

Mrs. Pei looked surprised, "How did the second uncle answer?"

"Huaifeng said that General Wei sent someone to recruit people. Ran Ran was so excited that she accidentally sprained her foot." Mrs. Zhen said.

Lin Huaifeng, Lin Xingwei's second uncle, worked as a minister of the West Cao in the Prime Minister's Mansion. He was not a high official and had some small rights in his hands.

Mrs. Pei offered advice, "This is a good idea. I happen to be going to have a full-moon wine tomorrow. I will take Ran Ran with me and let Ran Ran limp a few steps in front of others. Naturally, everyone will believe it."

"How does this happen?" Mrs. Hou's eyes widened, staring at Mrs. Zhen fiercely, and said: "The Lin family has always been honest in running the family. In order to avoid panic, they have to walk around slowly in front of others? If the secret is exposed, wouldn't it belong to the whole family?

joke?"

Lin Xingwei shook her head when she heard this. Her acting skills are not that good. She is a "newcomer", how can she pretend to be lame in front of others?

Mrs. Pei smiled softly and said: "Eldest sister-in-law, don't be anxious. The second sister-in-law also has good intentions. In my opinion, there is no need to let Ran Ran walk around in front of others. She has to go to the banquet when she is tired. It's quite a bit like 'there is no three hundred taels of silver here'"

, since the second uncle released the news about Ran Ran’s Weizu, he let Ran Ran recuperate at home. After a long time, the rumors will dissipate."

Lin Xingwei nodded vigorously. It would be better for her not to go out.

Mrs. Pei looked at Lin Xingwei and said with a smile: "After this incident, Ran Ran seems to have become more stable. In the past, she could not sit still for even half a quarter of an hour, but today she can sit here and listen to us women.

It’s hard for her to talk now.”

Mrs. Hou glared at Lin Xingwei and said angrily: "You have heard what your two aunts said, don't go out for a while, just stay at home and take care of yourself. If you continue to seek death and make a living, just do it better. No one will find out if you die."

What a place! Why don’t you go down yet? What’s the point of sitting here?”

Lin Xing curled his lips slightly and was about to get up when he suddenly heard the two gray terriers barking wildly in the courtyard.

Several ladies heard the barking of dogs and stretched their necks to look outside.

Not long after, a maid came in and reported: "Madam, Second Madam, Third Madam, the Princess of Xinan County from Prince Yingchuan's Mansion is here. She said that she and the Princess had met at a banquet at Taiwei's Mansion. I heard that Princess Wei

So, I came here to visit you."

The news of "Weizu" spread really fast.

"What is she here for?"

The three ladies looked at each other.

Mrs. Zhen thought for a moment and said: "Our Lin family has no contact with the Prince of Yingchuan, and Ran Ran is not familiar with her. I heard that Prince Chen Rui of Yingchuan has always been close to Wei Mingji. Could it be that he sent the county chief to find out the news?"

Lin Xingwei's expression tightened inexplicably. Did she really need to pretend to be a cripple to fool the Xinan County Lord?

Mrs. Hou's expression was calm. She turned to an older maid behind her and said, "Yuzhu, take the princess to the backyard and wait in her room. When the princess is ready, she will take the county princess there."

Mrs. Hou looked at Lin Xingwei with sharp eyes and warned: "No nonsense!"

"Remember, mother."

Perhaps because of the lack of familiarity, Lin Xingwei always felt that Mrs. Hou was stern and frightening. Why did such a stern Mrs. Hou teach such an arrogant and willful Princess Youning?

Lin Xingwei couldn't figure it out.

Mrs. Hou's maidservants surrounded Lin Xingwei and returned to her boudoir. Mrs. He also wrapped Lin Xingwei's soles and ankles with white silk in a serious manner.

At first glance, I thought the injury was serious.

Even so, the marks on Lin Xingwei's neck were still bright and visible at a glance.

Yunzhu hurriedly covered it up with a thick layer of makeup, found a curved collar jacket and put it on Lin Xingwei. The collar was pulled up a little, so it was probably not visible.

Yuzhu said coldly: "You don't have to do this. If you pull down the curtain, the Lord of Xinan County won't be able to see you. Now that the weather is still warm, wearing a collared jacket will make people suspicious."

After Yuzhu reminded her, Yunzhu hurriedly took off the Qu Lingru from Lin Xingwei's body and changed into regular clothes.

He Fu said gently: "There is a curtain to cover it, so there is nothing wrong. It's just that the princess won't sit cross-legged later. She can sit with her legs flat, so that the county princess can see that the princess has her feet covered. There are rumors outside."

It’s gone.”

What is "sitting on the ground and sitting on the dustpan"? She said the same word?

Lin Xingwei didn't understand. He raised his head and looked at Aunt He blankly. Lin Xingwei later understood that sitting in the posture is to sit on one's knees, while sitting in the posture is to sit with one's legs crossed like a young child.

After being fully prepared, Mrs. He and Yuzhu retreated first, and then other maids led the Lord of Xinan County to see Lin Xingwei.

There was a soft sound of footsteps outside and the jingling of rings. Before anyone arrived, a strong scent of lilies floated into the house.
