Cheng Mubai entered the house, Lou Zhentian invited Cheng Mubai to the throne, and the maid brought hot tea. The eldest lady had warned the third lady not to talk nonsense, and it would not be good for anyone if the Lou family suffered.
The third lady sneered. She must have panicked. She did not regret the humiliation she suffered yesterday. She hoped that the prince could seek justice for her.
But this matter cannot be brought out openly, otherwise Lou Zhentian will hate her and treat her and her children badly.
A row of royal guards stood outside the courtyard, and the family presented the bride price, a total of four boxes. The bride price for wedding invitations was fixed, and according to Fengcheng custom, there was nothing new. After the people of the Lou Mansion met, Lou Zhen, Tianming's butler, carried the bride price.
Go down.
Cheng Mubai picked up the white jade tea cup and gently flicked the tea lid. The fragrance of Biluochun overflowed, and a smile appeared on his lips. He did not drink the tea, but just flicked the tea lid and said lightly, "The wedding is scheduled for March.
Third, my father, mother, and Concubine Yun all say it is a good day. If Mr. Lou has no objection, we will set March 3rd."
Cheng Mubai came to ask for help early in the morning. Lou Zhentian was very uneasy. Yun Buhui was still in the woodshed and didn't know what the situation was. He just wanted Cheng Mubai to ask for help quickly and leave.
"March 3 is a good day, a good day, the Lou family has no doubts, no doubts." Lou Zhentian said, Lingxi sent the Japanese invitation letter, Lou Zhentian added his name, and the Japanese invitation ceremony was completed.
Lou Shaoqi and several ladies from the Lou family also got up. Knowing that Cheng Mubai was here, they all came to say hello. Cheng Mubai's attitude was indifferent and he didn't say anything. The best Biluochun slowly turned cold in the teacup.
"Your Majesty, I don't know..." The atmosphere in the hall was silent. No one would be stupid enough to tell what happened yesterday. It would be of no benefit to anyone if the Lou family was harmed. Lou Zhentian just asked this giant Buddha to leave quickly.
"The young master and young lady of the Lou family are all gone, where is the princess?" Cheng Mubai asked slowly.
Lou Zhentian's heart skipped a beat, and the eldest lady secretly shouted "Oh no," and was about to give a reason to sneak away. Lingxi smiled and said, "It's still early, and the Crown Princess is sleeping so I'm afraid she hasn't gotten up yet. If the Crown Prince wants to see the Crown Princess, I'm afraid I'll have to
Be more patient.”
Lingxi is charming and intelligent. She wears a lake blue dress with lotus flowers embroidered on the skirt. She wears a green short jacket. She is elegant and refined. Her conversation is gentle. She does not look like a maid, but more like a lady.
Everyone thought that the palace was indeed a palace, and the maids were all so outstanding and dressed better than ordinary ladies from wealthy families.
The doctor said, "I'm afraid it's an unlucky thing for me to see you. I caught wind and cold yesterday. The doctor said you shouldn't go out. You need to rest and recuperate, and you shouldn't see guests."
Cheng Mubai smiled, and Lingxi said, "That's really unfortunate. The weather is warm and cold at first, and it is indeed easy to catch wind and cold. Is the Crown Princess very ill? Lingxi has served the Crown Prince for many years, and has never heard that wind and cold are not suitable for seeing guests."
The eldest lady looked displeased, wondering why a maid could ask such questions. It could be seen that she was dressed more noble than ordinary maids, so she patiently replied with displeasure, "She is seriously ill."
Lou Yanran felt uneasy, Cheng Mubai stood up and said, "Since the prince's concubine is seriously ill, I want to see her even more."
The eldest lady hurriedly stood up to stop her. Cheng Mubai took the time to look at the eldest lady. His lips seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and his eyes were cold but not cold. Seeing this made the eldest lady feel anxious, and he hurriedly found an excuse, "Before the wedding, the newlyweds should not meet each other.
, otherwise it is unknown, and the prince will not regret it if he sees it."
Lou Shaoqi said, "My eldest son, my mother is right. It is not suitable for the newlyweds to meet before the wedding. Please come back, my eldest son."
Lou Zhentian nodded in agreement, and the third lady just sneered, ignoring the eldest lady's wink, and pretended not to see her. The eldest lady wanted the third lady to prevaricate, but the third lady refused to cooperate. She was anxious and broke into a cold sweat.
The second lady watched with cold eyes how this scene would end.
The atmosphere in the hall is weird.
Lingxi suddenly smiled like a bell, "It's cold in the morning, why is Mrs. Lou sweating coldly, and Master Lou too, is it very hot?"
The two of them looked pale and didn't know what to say. They nodded hurriedly. The eldest lady thought to herself that there were so many powerful people in the palace, but a little maid was so smart and sharp.
Lou Yanran said, "Your Majesty, please sit down and wait for a moment. My sister will be here soon."
The eldest lady winked, and Cheng Mubai looked at Lou Yanran with a slight smile. Like the warm sun blowing over the New Year, Lou Yanran's heart was beating, and he finally looked at her.
"In that case, let's wait." Cheng Mubai sat down, and Lou Yanran thought about bringing Buhui to deal with it. Buhui was smart. As long as he told the interests, she wouldn't be afraid that she wouldn't cooperate.
Just as she was about to retreat, she suddenly heard a burst of crying. A young girl rushed into the hall with tears in her eyes, regardless of the strong man behind her. She knelt down and it was Bingyue. She kowtowed and begged, "Your Majesty, save the young lady, save the young lady...
…”
Cheng Mubai couldn't remember the last time he was angry.
My heart, which had not wavered for a long time, was filled with rage when I saw Yun Buhui unconscious in the dark and damp woodshed with two mice pecking at the steamed buns in her arms.
She had a high fever, her body was hot, and the blood on her forehead and face had dried, and a bloodthirsty impulse surged in his heart.
I don't regret how I dared to touch him.
court death!
Due to the shortage of manpower, Cheng Mubai did not want the Lou family to serve without regret, so he ordered Lingxi and Bingyue to cleanse her body and change her clothes. The doctor came in a hurry, took her pulse, prescribed medicine, and bandaged her wounds, and they were busy all morning
The doctor said that Yun Buhui was suffering from heat stroke, and coupled with the cold night and wind-cold, the symptoms were very severe. Fortunately, she was discovered half an hour earlier, otherwise she would have been preparing for her funeral.
The third lady wiped her tears aside, Lou Zhentian, the eldest lady and the second lady, and the Lou family's children were waiting outside Xuemei Residence. The eldest lady grabbed Lou Yanran nervously, panicking.
No one expected that Yun Buhui would be so weak.
Bingyue's eyes were red and swollen, "Your Majesty, you must make the decision for the young lady."
Cheng Mubai raised the corners of his lips with a half-smile, and faintly said two words, "Very good."
Lingxi shuddered in her heart. She had served Cheng Mubai for many years. This was the first time she saw Cheng Mubai so angry. There was no trace of anger on his face, but she knew that Cheng Mubai was angry.
"Mother..." Yun Buhui frowned, his forehead was wrapped with gauze, cold sweat broke out between his brows, and he slept extremely uneasily. He called for mother loudly, as if words were stuck in his throat. Cheng Mubai leaned down and said,
There was a look of pain on Buhui's face, "Mom... it's cold... Buhui is so cold..."
The third lady felt sad for a while and burst into tears.
Cheng Mubai lowered his voice and said, "Bring me another quilt."
Bingyue went to get the quilt. Cheng Mubai held her forehead and said softly, "Be good, with me here, you won't feel cold anymore."
