While having breakfast, Luo Junyao heard Xiying's report: "General Yu came back from outside early in the morning. His clothes were soaked. He looked listless and didn't know where he went."
Luo Jun tilted his head and looked at Xie Yan. Xie Yan said calmly: "Let's go see his wife."
Xie Yan had never met Lady Luo. When the late emperor was here, these matters were handled by the people around him. After the death of the late emperor, he stayed at the border. These matters were handled by the manager of Jingyuan and the chief historian of the palace.
However, he once heard Yu Mingqiu talk about his wife, who seemed to be a woman who was soft on the outside but strong on the inside.
Therefore, Huo Yao's judgment was not wrong. If Yu Mingqiu returned home as soon as possible, Madam Luo would not only not blame him, but would even feel pity and the joy of regaining something.
But Yu Mingqiu had obviously been back for several days, but he only came home after being bumped into by Mrs. Luo. It was unlikely that he would not be punished.
Xie Yan had no idea about this. Although he and Yu Mingqiu were friends and colleagues, he had no interest in his friend's personal affairs.
Luo Junyao just felt that he could not turn steel into steel. He shook his head repeatedly and said, "I told him that he can't do that. He deserves to be shut out."
Xie Yan looked at her and said, "Yao Yao plans to cooperate with Mrs. Yu?"
Luo Junyao said: "I don't quite understand this. After all, Sister Luo has been running Qiluo Fang alone for so many years. She must know more about this business than us. She is also the wife of General Yu, so she is naturally more trustworthy than outsiders."
Of course, the most important thing is that she is a woman.
It's not that Luo Junyao favors women over men, but that men in this world have far more opportunities than women, so she naturally hopes to support women as much as possible.
"If she reconciles with Mingqiu..."
"They will definitely reconcile." Luo Junyao said matter-of-factly.
How could she not see that Mrs. Luo still loved her husband deeply? As long as Yu Mingqiu didn't commit suicide, the two of them would reconcile sooner or later.
Xie Yan raised his eyebrows and said, "If they reconcile, she will be Mrs. Xiaoyuan Hou. Will she still have time to do this with you?"
Luo Junyao asked: "Am I not the regent princess?" Although she, the regent princess, does not seem to be very busy. There are people taking care of all the big and small things in the house. She only needs to make decisions on some important things, and there is no mother to take care of it.
The Luo family is busy.
Hearing this, Xie Yan smiled and nodded: "Shao Yao is right, I'm overthinking."
Luo Junyao smiled and said: "I know what you are worried about. Don't think so much. There will be a road to the mountain. And I think Sister Luo still has her own ideas for coming to me so quickly. Mrs. Xiaoyuan Hou
Her status will not change her mind."
After breakfast, Xie Yan went out.
Luo Jun staggered to visit Yu Mingqiu. General Yu stood in the yard all night last night, and the dew soaked all his clothes. Now he came back with a fever, obviously he was ill.
"Princess, don't tell your true mother about this." Yu Mingqiu was lying on the bed, his face flushed because of the heat.
Luo Junyao curled his lips, "It was really rare that you were able to marry a wife back then."
Yu Mingqiu smiled helplessly, and Luo Junyao waved his hand and said: "Forget it, you should just lie down and don't worry about these things. If I really let you do it yourself, Sister Luo will be so angry that she will divorce you sooner or later."
Coming out of Yu Mingqiu's yard, Luo Junyao held his chin and thought for a long time. How should he tell Sister Luo that Yu Mingqiu was sick so that he would not appear so deliberate?
It seems that no matter what I do, it doesn't work. After all, the Prince Regent's Palace and Qiluofang are so far apart, so it's really hard to spread this word.
Luo Junyao sighed, forget it.
Luo Junyao returned to his study and wrote a letter, summoned a guard and ordered him to deliver the letter directly to Qiluofang.
"Princess, Miss Su is here." Outside the door, the guard respectfully announced.
"Sister Su!" Luo Jun shook his eyes and said, "Please come in quickly!" This is her future sister-in-law.
Not long after, Su Rui was invited into the flower hall.
"Sister Su!" Luo Junyao shouted happily.
Su Rui was startled for a moment, feeling that Luo Junyao was particularly enthusiastic today, so she also smiled and said, "Is Luo Junyao in a good mood?"
Luo Junyao smiled and said: "Of course I'm in a good mood. Didn't my eldest brother come out smoothly? Sure enough, eldest brother never needs anyone to worry about him."
Su Rui smiled and said, "Congratulations to Mr. Luo."
Except for a few insiders in Shangyong, no outsiders knew about the fact that Luo Jinyan visited the Wucheng Bingma Division.
Luo Jun shook his head and said, "I will bring the message to eldest brother for Sister Su."
Su Rui didn't pay attention. She was pulled aside by Luo Junyao and sat down. She just said, "It's okay that Mr. Luo is fine. Speaking of which, I want to thank Mr. Luo first."
"Thank you for what?" Luo Junyao asked curiously. Could it be that Sister Su knew that her eldest brother was doing this for her... It didn't look like it.
Su Rui said with a smile: "Xiao Hong originally made an appointment to meet again tomorrow, and I originally planned to deal with him a little more. But last night I received a message from him, saying that he would postpone it for a few days, and he gave me a few more days.
Time well planned.”
Luo Jun shook his lips and smiled and said, "Of course he won't be able to see you tomorrow." No proud man is willing to let his fiancée see him in such embarrassment, even if he doesn't like her.
Xiao Hong was beaten very badly by Luo Jinyan, and looking so embarrassed to negotiate with Luo Jinyan when there was no one around was probably all that Young Master Xiao could bear.
If he were to see Su Rui again with a colorful face, Young Master Xiao could not afford to embarrass that person.
Su Rui also found it funny, and of course she was a little gloating about it.
Luo Junyao was very puzzled, "Sister Su, that woman... who eloped with Young Master Xiao, how is she so beautiful that she has captivated the country?"
You must know that the eldest lady of the Su family is a beauty herself, and she is also the daughter of the Taifu family. Her popularity and reputation among the ladies of the Yong Dynasty are even better. Such a girl...that is, her age is not coincidental, otherwise she is...
It is also possible to enter the palace and become a queen.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Just like this, Young Master Xiao wants to elope?
Su Rui sighed softly and looked at Luo Junyao, who was hesitant to speak.
"Can't say?" Luo Jun shook his eyes, "I'm very tight-lipped."
Su Rui shook her head and said: "It's not that we can't say it, it's just... this is also a very embarrassing thing for the Xiao family. The Xiao family is very strict about it, so outsiders don't know that Young Master Xiao has escaped."
This time it’s not really because the Xiao family is being unkind and wants to trick the Su family. It’s probably because the Xiao family just doesn’t know how to tell their future in-laws such an embarrassing thing and just wants to solve it secretly first.
"Um?"
Su Rui said: "That woman... I met her last year when I went with my eldest brother and mother to celebrate Mrs. Xiao's birthday. She was originally Uncle Xiao's side room."
"Pfft! Cough cough..." Luo Junyao was choked and coughed repeatedly.
Little, little...Mom literature? So exciting?!
Su Rui quickly raised her hand to cheer her up, and said: "That woman should be about the same age as Xiao Hong, and her appearance... can be considered beautiful." But if she can be said to be stunningly beautiful, she cannot be considered stunning.
Su Rui didn't know why Xiao Hong would not hesitate to elope for such a woman, and she wasn't interested either.
If Xiao Hong had discussed breaking off the engagement with her in a nice voice, she would never have made things difficult. But Xiao Hong came up with such a despicable method. He had both fame and love, so did she deserve to be unlucky?
Besides, even if she was really forced to agree, could the Xiao family really tolerate this? That woman probably wouldn't survive anyway.
If she were Xiao Hong, since she had the courage to elope, she would simply take the woman far away and remain anonymous from now on, never to appear in front of others again.
Luo Junyao was silent for a long time. Su Rui raised her hand and shook it in front of her eyes for a few times before she came back to her senses.
"Then Sister Su, what are you going to do?" Luo Junyao asked with concern: "Is there anything I can do to help?"
Su Rui smiled and said: "Don't worry, this Third Young Master Xiao is quite talented and has great ideas. But if you talk about scheming, I'm afraid it's not enough."
Luo Jun shook his head in agreement. At first glance, Young Master Xiao looked like a child of a spoiled family. Although he was not a playboy who had accomplished nothing, he was also very naive.
No one with a little bit of scheming would be able to do what he did.
He may think that Su Rui is a weak woman in the boudoir after all, and if he takes advantage of her, she can only be crushed by him. But he doesn't know that the most unoffending woman in the world sometimes happens to be a woman.
"How does Sister Su want to deal with him?" Luo Junyao said.
Su Rui pursed her lips and said, "I plan to promise him first."
"Ah?" Luo Junyao looked at her without saying anything.
Su Rui pinched her delicate and pretty face and said with a smile: "Didn't he want to blackmail me? We might as well see who has more chips."
Luo Junyao said: "Sister Su wants to take that woman hostage first? I'm afraid Xiao Hong won't agree." Young Master Xiao is just a little naive, but he is not a fool.
Su Rui said: "He will soon lose sight of that girl."
Meeting Luo Junyao's gaze, Su Rui said with a smile: "After all, the Su family is the host in Shangyong. The Xiao family has not been in Shangyong for many years. He shouldn't think that just by holding my handle in his hand, he can come directly to follow me.
negotiation."
Luo Junyao held up his chin and said, "I'm not worried about anything else. I'm just worried...if he finds that he can't take the top position, he simply gives up on the woman and bites her to death. Sister Su, what are you going to do?"
Xiao Hong kidnapped his father's concubine, and if it was discovered, at most his future would be ruined, or he would be expelled from the Xiao family. The Xiao family has not taken any action yet, obviously they still have hope for him. But if Su Rui's handle is
Being released by Xiao Hong, although he didn't know what it was, Luo Junyao knew that it must have a great impact on Sister Su's reputation, which made her so cautious.
Although a man's reputation and a woman's reputation are both important, their importance is not the same.
Su Rui smiled and said: "I know, so... I have to get something back from him first."
Luo Junyao perked up, "Do you need help?" Su Rui obviously didn't want to alarm the Su family, so she definitely needed someone to help.
Su Rui shook her head, "No, someone will help me."
Seeing Su Rui's confident look, Luo Junyao stopped asking further questions.
It's just that Sister Su is too powerful. If she can solve everything by herself, her elder brother seems to be of no use.
Luo Jun shook his head and quickly put this idea to the back of his mind: If the eldest brother can't even catch a wife, then he deserves to be single.
As a result, the two quickly changed the topic and started discussing Luo Junyao's workshop plans.
In the Proton Mansion next to the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division on the other side of the imperial city.
The Qi tribe's Zhizi Mansion was as silent as ever. Ji Rong sat under the tree drinking tea with an indifferent expression. The withered yellow leaves were blown off the branches by the wind and fell on the table in front of him.
He didn't care, picked up the dead leaves and put them on the ground aside.
Opposite Ji Rong, Bai Jingrong was kneeling on a cushion wearing a dark golden cloak. She held her chin in one hand and her left elbow on her left side as she looked at the handsome young man opposite her with interest.
Ji Rong's eyebrows were slightly impatient, and she raised her head and stared at her.
Bai Jingrong smiled sweetly and said: "As expected of him, he is so good-looking. I heard... that my son also has a place in Yongfenghualu."
Ji Rong put down the tea cup and said in a deep voice: "What exactly do you want to say?"
Bai Jingrong said calmly: "The marriage between you and the eldest daughter of the Ruan family has been decided. My son... wouldn't he do such a childish thing as running away from marriage and embarrass his mother?"
Ji Rong sneered, "I can't even get out of Yonghuang City, where can I escape?"
Bai Jingrong sighed: "I spent a lot of time and effort marrying the eldest daughter of the Ruan family for you, what else are you dissatisfied with? Is it possible that you really like that little girl from the Luo family so much? She belongs to Xie Yan.
, if you let him know, he will kill you."
Ji Rong said coldly: "These are what you said, don't blame it on me."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Bai Jingrong smiled and said: "That means you don't like that little girl, so... Ah Rong, you still refused to tell your mother why you did it deliberately when you first arrived at Shangyong
Approach that little girl?"
Ji Rong looked indifferent, obviously not intending to answer this question.
Bai Jingrong shook her head, "Well, mother teaches you a truth. Never think of using a woman's love to achieve your goals. Of course... there are millions of stupid women in the world who are willing to risk everything for you. But, there are
You can't mess with women. If you accidentally mess with one, you'll be doomed. Even if you don't talk about Xie Yan, don't think about it... the lessons learned from the past are not far behind."
Mr. Xuan Yu in the Mu'an Palace is not having a good time nowadays.
Ji Rong said: "Mom thinks too much, I don't have such thoughts."
Bai Jingrong didn't take it seriously and said: "Well, when the child grows up, he always has his own ideas and refuses to tell his mother. If you say no, then no. I don't care what you think of the eldest daughter of the Ruan family.
I think, this marriage...must go through!"
Ji Rong remained silent, and Bai Jingrong didn't care either. He stood up slowly and started to walk outside.
Before she could turn around, she heard Ji Rong, who was still sitting upright and had no intention of getting up to say goodbye, said: "If you want to stay in Shangyong, you can delay the negotiation time. There is no need to do this."
Bai Jingrong smiled and said, "What are you thinking about? Your eldest brother and fourth brother are still waiting for me at home. If it weren't for your marriage, my mother would have wished to leave today."
"So, what do you want to do with my marriage?" Ji Rong was not affected by her at all and asked coldly.
Bai Jingrong didn't answer, she leaned over and stretched out her hand to caress his handsome but pale face, and said in a loving tone: "It's a pity that my son is so smart. If you weren't too weak to take the throne of the Qi tribe, my mother would really be reluctant to let him go.
And you."
Ji Rong raised her hand coldly and knocked away the hand that stayed on her face.
Bai Jingrong smiled, turned around and walked out without looking back.
Watching Bai Jingrong and others leave, Ji Rong's expression remained indifferent and did not change at all.
After an unknown amount of time, a dead leaf quietly fell into the tea cup opposite.
Ji Rong's eyes moved slightly and she suddenly said: "What does she want to do when she comes to Shangyong besides forming an alliance with Dasheng?"
A man in gray clothes quietly appeared a few steps behind him, knelt on one knee and said, "Maybe it has something to do with Yu Chen."
"Oh?" Ji Rong looked back at the man in gray and whispered.
The man in gray clothes said: "My wife specially brought Yu Chen to Shangyong this time, which is unreasonable."
Yu Chen is indeed a rare master, but the troubles encountered in bringing him to Shangyong will only be lower than the actual use that a master can produce. What happened outside the city a few days ago has already illustrated this.
There are definitely more than one or two people who want to kill Yu Chen.
Ji Rong lowered her eyes and thought, "I remember...it is said that Yu Chen is the son of Bai Su?"
The man in gray clothes raised his head in surprise, "Your Highness wants to reveal this news?"
Ji Rong sneered and said: "Do you think no one in Dasheng knows about it? If the regent of Dasheng had not intended to let Yu Chen live, he would not have been able to come back at all that day outside the city."
The man in gray stopped talking. He didn't know what His Highness wanted to do.
The courtyard was quiet for a long time, and Ji Rong just said calmly: "Send a message to the eldest son of the Luo family and tell him that I will invite him to tea."
"Yes, Your Highness." The man in gray responded respectfully, then stood up, turned around and quickly disappeared into the courtyard.
Quietness returned to the small courtyard, and Ji Rong sat alone under the tree, slowly reaching out and adding some hot tea to herself.
"Mother, you always like to play with people as chess pieces." Ji Rong said lightly: "But not everyone in the world is willing to let you play with them at will. You were defeated because of this back then, and now... it's still the same.
