Mrs. Xu paused slightly, and then took the opportunity to ask Dangui: "I was just in the dark and didn't look carefully. That lady is..."
Dangui followed Mrs. Xu's gaze and replied: "She is the wife of Mr. Lu, the censor of the Ministry of Rites. She has been to our house before, but she suddenly came here today. She didn't know what was going on.
Woolen cloth!"
As a royal censor, Lu Youli was extremely strict with his servants. The servants who left the Lu Mansion were eagerly wanted by some wealthy businessmen in the capital, because the etiquette of the families of high-ranking officials was better known and easier to teach.
Servant. [Shang Shen Tong] The servant is like this, and Mrs. Lu and Miss Lu have a good reputation in the capital, so it is a bit strange to pay a sudden visit at such a late hour without Geng Tie.
Mrs. Xu responded and seemed to be thinking about it, but she didn't say anything. She immediately led Xu Yunxi out of the main gate and got into the carriage that had been waiting outside.
Besides, Mrs. Lu was led to the flower hall by her servants, and hurriedly greeted Chu Yiqing. She wanted to speak, but she hesitated a little, and kept stirring the handkerchief in her hand anxiously.[
Seeing her like this, Chu Yiqing asked, "What's wrong with Mrs. Lu? What's the matter with coming here so late?"
Mrs. Lu gritted her teeth and seemed to have made up her mind. She finally leaned forward and said, "Ms. Chu Fei, it's really embarrassing to say this. Xiner...she's sick!"
Chu Yiqing was startled. He seemed to have guessed something, but he didn't say anything. He looked at the latest chapter of the Masked Daughter's Revenge.
Mrs. Lu sighed and said: "Since the last time I went back, Xin'er has been depressed. Although she was very lively before, she is actually not in good health. Follow me, she has a cold foundation, but although Xin'er often coughed before
, but it has never been this severe. Now I am so sick that I am groggy and keep chanting..."
Madam Lu raised her eyes and glanced at Chu Yiqing timidly, and uttered a name heavily: "The playboy in Concubine Chu's palace!"
Lu Ningxin liked Hua Qi, and Chu had seen it early in the morning, so it was not surprising. However, what was strange to her was that Mrs. Lu had already heard about Hua Qi's engagement that day, and her reaction at that time was also obvious. Is it really true now?
Is it because Lu Ningxin is lovesick that she lowers her face and comes to see her? If this is the case, then Lu Ningxin’s illness must be serious!
Mrs. Lu saw that Chu Yiqing did not react at all, and the embarrassment on her face became more and more obvious. The handkerchief in her hand had already been twisted into a rope by her, "Mother Chu, my family
Xin'er is not the kind of shameless child, she just..."
"Where did Mrs. Lu go? I should be grateful to Miss Lu. It's his blessing that Miss Lu likes Qi'er!" Chu Yiqing said with a slight smile.
Mrs. Lu raised her eyes, and there was finally a glimmer of light in her eyes, and she quickly said: "The last time we met, I felt that Concubine Chu was not a mortal, so I took the liberty to come forward and say these words. Now it seems
, I really didn’t see the wrong person!”
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "Mrs. Lu, thank you! It's just that Qi'er has already been engaged, as you know, it's Xu Guogong's granddaughter. Mrs. Xu and Miss Xu were still here just now, and they just left. If I guessed correctly,
, you should have met him just now!"
Mrs. Lu was startled, and then she vaguely remembered that she had met someone in the yard before, but she was impatient and did not take a closer look. Now she felt a little regretful. It would have been nice to have seen the young lady from the Xu family, at least she felt better.
That’s it!
"I was walking in a hurry just now. Maybe I bumped into her but didn't pay attention..." Mrs. Lu said regretfully.
Chu Yiqing asked: "Is Xin'er seriously ill?"
It's okay not to ask. Chu Yiqing's question made Mrs. Lu's eyes turn red and she whispered: "To be honest, Concubine Chu, Xin'er had a sister before, named Lu Ningwen, who was five years older than Xin'er.
Years old, he died of an illness in Lucheng four years ago, suffering from the same disease!"
Chu Yiqing was stunned and asked: "What disease?"
Mrs. Lu sighed faintly: "My heart hurts. This disease is a hereditary disease in my natal family, so the oldest person in my natal family is only fifty..."
Chu Yiqing was startled. It turned out that heart disease was inherited in the family. But that day, she saw that Lu Ningxin had a straightforward yet polite personality and a rosy complexion. She did not look like she had a heart disease.
Mrs. Lu sighed again and said: "I originally thought that Xin'er was an exception. After all, I didn't notice it for so many years, but I didn't expect... Concubine Chu, I know that it is shameless to say these things now, but Concubine Chu also takes it seriously."
Mother, I also know how it feels to be a mother, I can’t just watch Xin’er leave with regret!”
Chu Yiqing pondered slightly and said: "Mrs. Lu means..." [
"Please make the decision, Concubine Chu, let Xin'er marry the handsome man!" Mrs. Lu stood up suddenly and sincerely requested, "Even if she is an ordinary wife!"
Evening wife... Lu Ningxin wants to marry Hua Qi with Xu Yunxi? Chu Yiqing was stunned. He never thought that Mrs. Lu could do this for Lu Ningxin. After all, even though they were equal wives, Hua Qi was engaged to the Xu family in
Before, Lu Ningxin was later, and it would not be nice to hear this spread out! Especially Lu Youli, it is said that he has a very old-fashioned character, and the most important thing is rules!
"Madam, can you discuss this matter with Mr. Lu?" Chu Yiqing asked quietly.
When she mentioned Lu Youli, Mrs. Xu looked embarrassed. It seemed that her sudden visit in the dark sky had a lot to do with Lu Youli.
"Concubine Chu doesn't know my master's temper. He is very stubborn. I haven't discussed this matter with him yet, but Xiner..." Mrs. Xu's face was full of embarrassment for me. I'm sure you can read the full text.
"Mrs. Xu, forgive me for not being able to help you. Firstly, Mr. Lu doesn't approve of this matter at all. Secondly, I can't explain it to the Xu family. After all, the marriage has been decided, and now Qi'er has married again.
An average wife, then..." Chu Yiqing smiled lightly.
Mrs. Xu's face was full of disappointment. She wanted to say something several times, but nothing came out. Chu Yiqing was tired, so she asked Yingrun to send the person out.
In the evening, Li Huang came back from the palace and heard about this matter. He immediately smiled and said: "Actually, this matter is not difficult to solve. If Hua Qi wins the first prize, and you are the aunt of the prince's favorite concubine,
, based on the current status of the Xu family, it is indeed not a good match. When the time comes, I, the prince, will mediate between them and ensure that the Xu family will not be able to say anything!"
When Chu Yiqing heard it, she felt it made sense, but now she didn't know what Hua Qi was thinking, so she said, "Let's wait until after the competition, so as not to distract Qi'er from studying!"
Li Huang nodded.
The next day, Chu Yiqing sent Lei Lei to the Lu Mansion to personally treat Miss Lu. Lu Youli and Mrs. Lu were naturally grateful. Yingrun who went with them took the opportunity to reveal something to Miss Lu, so
After a few days, Miss Lu recovered, and the matter was temporarily shelved.
In the Prince of Chu's Mansion, Chu Huan checked the gift list and planned to send the betrothal gift to the Yang Mansion the next day.
In the evening, Chu Huan was handling official military affairs in the study. A Yuan came over in a hurry, looking a little panicked, "Sir, Sister-in-law Chu is back. She is in the courtyard. Look, sir..."
Chu Huan was startled. He didn't expect that Fang would come back by himself. He quickly packed his clothes and took A Yuan to the cross courtyard.
The small courtyard at the back was where Fang and Chu Shaozheng lived. Ever since Chu Shaozheng and his son left the Prince Chu's Mansion that day, the courtyard had been locked. Now it has been opened. Although it has only been a few days, it is already inside.
It was full of desolation. Ms. Fang was sitting on the mat on the front steps, and behind her stood Xiangzhi, a dowry maid from her parents' family.
When Chu Huan came in a hurry, Xiangzhi was urging Fang in a low voice. When he saw Chu Huan coming, Xiangzhi was about to step forward, but was stopped by Fang.
"You go down first!" Fang raised his eyes and glanced at Chu Huan, then turned to Xiangzhi and whispered: "I want to talk to the prince alone!"
Xiangzhi's face was full of anger, and finally she stamped her feet fiercely, turned around and walked out.
Chu Huan also asked A Yuan to guard the door across the courtyard, facing Fang. For a moment, he didn't know where to start.
Madam Fang had already stood up, pulled on her wrinkled lotus-colored dress, knitted herself towards Chu Huan, and whispered: "I've met the young master, and I'm bidding farewell to the young master today!"
Chu Huan quickly said: "Shaozheng is just in a temporary mood. Don't get along with him. You come back and live in the mansion first. I will try my best to get Shaozheng back and I will definitely give you justice!"
Mrs. Fang slowly raised her eyes, with a very demure expression on her face. She shook her head lightly and said, "Young master, there is no need to lie to me. Shaozheng has already written a letter of divorce and had it sent to my house. My parents already know it."
! Don’t worry, Young Master, I am with my parents, and they will definitely not cause any trouble to Prince Chu’s Mansion, nor will any rumors spread. As for me and Shaozheng, we have come to an end!” [
"Letter of divorce?" Chu Huan could not have imagined that Chu Shaozheng would really turn back and act so ruthlessly this time.
"Actually, Shao Zheng doesn't like me. I should have understood a long time ago. It's just me..." Fang lowered her head and shed tears slowly. Her small shoulders trembled slightly, looking so miserable.
For a moment, Chu Huan regretted his decision. If he hadn't forced Chu Shaozheng to get married, he might not have harmed such a good woman like Fang!
"I'm sorry..." Chu Huan whispered. At this moment, he really didn't know what to do to make up for the sad woman in front of him.
"It's Yuhua's destiny to be a violent military concubine because of the relationship with the young master!" Fang raised her head and said with a wry smile.
Fang Yuhua, Chu Huan couldn't help but sigh. He only knew this woman's name after she had been busy in Prince Chu's Mansion for so many days.
"Don't worry, Prince Chu's Mansion will definitely give you justice in this matter!" Chu Huan said in a deep voice.
Mrs. Fang bowed to Chu Huanfu, "Thank you, Master, but it's really no need. Anyway, I don't want to get married again in this life, but now I really can't find a place to stay..."
She was already married, and when she returned home, her brothers had already started families and started businesses. How could she, a married woman, still live at home? Even if her parents didn't tell her, she didn't want to see the looks from her sisters-in-law!
Chu Huan quickly said: "Why don't you go to the Prince's Mansion to stay for a while, and wait until I find Shaozheng..."
Fang raised her eyes and went to the Prince's Mansion? She quickly thought of Chu Yiqing and nodded quickly: "Thank you, Prince. Yuhua admires Concubine Chu very much. If there is a chance to learn from Concubine Chu, Yuhua will
Of course I am very grateful!”
Chu Huan nodded and said: "Then you go to the Prince's Mansion to stay temporarily, and I will personally explain it to my sister!"
Mrs. Fang leaned down gratefully.
Early in the morning of the next day, Chu Huan took Fang to the Prince's Mansion. When he discussed his future intentions, Chu Yiqing naturally lamented Fang's experience and immediately asked her to stay in the Prince's Mansion.
After settling the Fang family, Chu Yiqing told Chu Huan worriedly: "Today is the day to make the decision. Brother, I'd better go back and send the betrothal gift to the Yang Mansion to avoid a long night and many dreams!"
Chu Huan nodded and said: "There is still one hour before the auspicious time, there is still time!"
Chu Yiqing nodded, and told Chu Huan to try his best to find Chu Shaozheng, lest he turn into hatred out of love and take revenge on Chu Huan. Chu Huan also agreed one by one. After sitting for a while, he saw that the time was about the same and he also
He left the Prince's Mansion and prepared to go back to the Chu Mansion to prepare things to propose marriage to the Yang Mansion.
Late at night, in the prison, Chu Feng spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm and finally became clear. Especially after seeing Chu Yuan, he suddenly reacted, grabbed Chu Yuan's arm and asked: "Why did you come here?"
?Do you really not miss the sisterly love that has existed for so many years?"
Chu Yuan was in pain from being caught by her, but he still smiled and said: "Feng'er, look what you said, isn't my sister here? After all these years, do you think you are the only one who has a hard life? My sister's life is not easy either.
Now my sister can’t protect herself!”
Chu Feng looked at her coldly, her eyes dark.
Early in the morning of the next day, Chu Yuan hurried to Prince Qian's Mansion. After a while, a carriage drove out from Prince Qian's Mansion and drove towards the palace.
At this moment in the palace, the emperor was still attending the morning court. In the palace of Concubine Wu in the harem, Qi Yunluo stood aside obediently. Chu Yuan reported to Concubine Wu in a low voice. Concubine Wu's eyes darkened and she looked in disbelief.
Looking at Chu Yuan, he asked coldly: "Are you telling the truth? How is this possible?"
"Mother, how dare I lie to you? Of course it's true! Back then, my good brother always thought that Chu Yiqing was not my father's biological child, so he was fond of me. And Chu Yiqing did like me back then.
It belongs to the eldest brother, so it’s not necessarily who Abao’s biological father is!” Chu Yuan’s face was full of pride.
"Nonsense!" Concubine Wu suddenly changed her face and reprimanded, "How dare you say such treacherous words as confusing the royal bloodline? You are really not afraid of losing your head!"
Chu Yuan was startled and hurriedly knelt on the ground. His face turned pale with fright and said: "Empress Wu, this matter is indeed my guess, but there is indeed an ambiguity between my eldest brother and Chu Yiqing.
Yes, otherwise my eldest brother would not love me and my third sister, but would blindly help that Chu Yiqing!"
Concubine Wu sat high above her, and said after a slight thought: "So, the relationship between Chu Huan and Chu Yiqing is really not simple, but there must be evidence for this matter. If there is no evidence, the emperor will not
Maybe you believe us!"
Chu Yuan hurriedly said: "My third sister Chu Feng is the evidence. My third sister Chu Feng was imprisoned in the prison by the fifth prince for three years because she knew the scandal between Chu Huan and Chu Yiqing. The latest chapter of the concubine who has not seen the light of day for three years."
!”
Concubine Wu sneered: "Chu Yuan, do you really think that I am so easy to deceive? Well, no matter why your third sister is imprisoned in the prison, as long as she is useful to me, I will naturally save her, but now you
What needs to be done is…”
Concubine Wu motioned Chu Yuan to come forward.
Chu Yuan stepped forward anxiously, and heard Concubine Wu whisper in her ear, "Whether this is true or not, I want everyone in the world to know, do you understand?"
Chu Yuan was startled and thought of something quickly. She nodded quickly.
"Now that you know, go ahead and do it. Don't worry, after it's done, you'll get whatever you ask for!" Concubine Wu said with a slow smile.
Chu Yuan nodded quickly.
At this time, Qi Yunluo, who had been silent all this time, suddenly raised his head, glanced at Concubine Wu, and then quickly lowered his head.
On this day, the Chu Prince's Mansion and the Yang Mansion successfully performed the wedding ceremony, and Chu Yiqing was relieved. However, not long after, some strange rumors spread in the capital, and the rumors were directed at the most popular crown prince's concubine and the King of Chu.
Prince, at first everyone thought this was nonsense, but later these rumors became more and more popular. Later, through the spread and imagination of some well-intentioned people, some of the rumors became more and more unbearable. In addition, the Prince of Chu's Palace and Yang's Palace happened to be engaged.
, gradually, the Yang Mansion was also involved.
On this day, Mrs. Yang took Yang Moer to the Prince's Mansion in person, and after being informed, they were invited to the hall.
Chu Yiqing went out early in the morning and came back late these days to check on the growth of rice, so he knew about those rumors. Now that he heard Mrs. Yang say it, he couldn't help but change his face.
Seeing that Chu Yiqing was displeased, Mrs. Yang quickly said: "My concubine and my daughter both know who Concubine Chu is, so they will never believe these rumors. However, after all, these rumors are related to Concubine Chu and Chu."
Prince Wang’s reputation... Concubine Chu, you don’t know that those people spread rumors in a very unpleasant way, and some even made up jokes in the teahouse..."
"In the teahouse?" Chu Yiqing curled her lips coldly. Now that she is the crown prince's concubine, she dares to spread these rumors blatantly. I'm afraid that the boss in the palace and the court will dislike her again and get into trouble with her!
But who is the originator of these rumors, who will get the most benefits, who is most involved, and who has the greatest suspicion, Chu Yi will understand at a glance.
"Concubine Chu, we have no other purpose in coming today. We just want to remind you that your concubine has just come back and her foundation is still shallow. Now that something like this has happened again, your concubine must handle it carefully. If she doesn't handle it well, I'm afraid it will
His Highness the County Prince will be implicated!" Mrs. Yang said sincerely.
Chu Yiqing nodded and said: "Thank you, Mrs. Yang, I already know about this matter!"
Mrs. Yang nodded and then took Yang Mo'er to leave and leave the house.
After Mrs. Yang and her daughter left, even Yingqian, who was undergoing confinement, heard about this and hurriedly came over with her infant daughter in her arms and said angrily: "Madam, we can't let this matter go like this.
We must find out the source of the rumors, otherwise, even if the lady has ten mouths, she won’t be able to tell the truth!"
