She hated Ling Ruo, but there was no need for her to help the queen. What happened with Tong Jia in the past made her understand that no one would be nice to her for no reason, they were all just taking advantage of her.
The reason why she asked Sun Mo to ask those people was because she knew that Sun Mo would never find them, because even she didn't know where those people had moved.
I still remember that she was still young at that time. Once when she was playing at the door, she saw several neighbors living near their home moving things out. She was very curious, so she went over and asked them why they had to move out suddenly. Those people looked evasive.
When he refused to answer, she went back and asked
E Niang, E Niang told her that these people knew that her sister had made an engagement with Rong Yuan, and if they continued to stay here, if they were found out again, they would bring trouble to her sister, so their family gave them these
He gave them a generous sum of money and asked them to move to a distant place.
Later, Yilan also discovered that not only the neighbors had moved away, but also some relatives who often moved around. At that time, besides family members, she almost found one acquaintance. Looking back now, she must have been to prevent today's disaster.
.
Yilan's words made Sun Mo's cheek twitch slightly, which was quite ugly. He had already asked those he could ask, but none of those people had gone missing and could not be traced, otherwise he would not have asked her. Yilan was the only one who
He must firmly grasp every straw that can put Concubine Xi in this place.
He pretended to look around and said: "Madam, do you really have no hatred in your heart? Look at the small courtyard where you live. It is said to be the main hall, but it is small and pitiful. It can only store a few
A chair can’t hold any more things; look at the furnishings again, alas, it’s either the slaves who talk too much or the palace officials.
Even the lowest dressing gown is better than yours, not to mention Concubine Xi. The emperor really dotes on her to the core. Not only does she live in the Chengqian Palace, but everything in food and use is not the best. Sometimes even the queen
None of them can compare. You two are said to be biological sisters, but your situation is so different that I feel pity for you."
"Really?" Yilan suppressed her anger and sneered: "Although my place is small, it is a place where people can be treated. If I help the queen betray Concubine Xi, I'm afraid I won't even have a place to stay."
Sun Mo heard the words and said seriously: "Madam, you can rest assured about this." After that, he slapped himself lightly and said: "It's all my fault that I didn't understand what I said. For someone as kind as the Queen, if Madam had helped,
So what about the Queen?
You will treat your wife badly. Although it is impossible to enter the palace as a wife, you will have endless glory and wealth for a lifetime. When the time comes, you can build as big a house as you want and find as many girls to serve you. You don’t have to stay here anymore.
In a small house."
Facing Sun Mo's lobbying, it would be a lie to say that she was unmoved. After Yilan married into the Li family, although she had no worries about food and clothing, she was just worry-free.
This peach red dress with silver embroidery was made last spring. The cuffs are a little frayed, but I'm still wearing it because I don't have enough money to buy new clothes.
However, the stakes in this matter were so high that even she did not dare to speak out. She rolled up her sleeves and said to Sun Mo, who was waiting for her answer: "Ilan understands the Queen's kindness, but she really doesn't know about this matter.
Eunuch Laosun is really sorry that this trip was in vain."
Sun Mo didn't expect that she had already talked about this. She was still arrogant and slightly angry, but the next moment she disappeared without a trace and said with a smile on her face: "This is not an urgent matter, madam, there is no need to be anxious.
Answer slave, this
Well, I'll come back in three days. I hope Madam can think things through by then. As the saying goes: If you don't do something for yourself, God will kill you. Madam here is always thinking about Concubine Xi, but Concubine Xi has long forgotten that Madam is her direct relative in the palace.
younger sister."
Without waiting for Yilan to answer, he stood up and yawned: "Okay, it's time for me to resign. I don't want any third person to know about what I said today, otherwise the queen will get angry. What consequences will it have?"
Madam also knows."
After Sun Moli disappeared, Yilan let out a long breath and reached out to pick up the cold tea cup from the table. Before she could bring it to her mouth, a lot of tea had already spilled on her skirt.
Up until this moment, Yilan realized that her hands had been shaking slightly, uncontrollably.
The queen just sent a young eunuch to put so much pressure on herself. If she came here in person, she would probably fall to the ground in unbearable condition.
After a while, the trembling in her hands slowly disappeared. Just as she was about to stand up, she suddenly glanced out of the corner of her eye and saw a figure walking slowly in. Who could it be if it wasn't Li Yaoguang?
For this pillow person who has been with him for more than ten years, Yilan cannot say that she likes or dislikes her. She just feels that everything is very ordinary, living an ordinary life with a salary that is about the same every year. When she married him, he
He was a writer and editor in the Hanlin Academy of the seventh rank. Now more than ten years later, he is still in the Hanlin Academy, but he has changed from a writer and editor of the seventh rank to a scholar in the fifth rank.
A fifth-rank official may seem good, but he is nothing in the capital, not to mention that the Hanlin Academy has little oil and wealth, so he can only live on his salary. In such a life, he is probably not even as good as a magistrate in a slightly wealthier place, and he
He didn't want to entrust someone to serve outside, and would rather suffer so hard in the Hanlin Academy. Yilan was so angry that she scolded him for being stupid several times.
Although he has a handsome appearance and a gentle temperament, and he has never said a harsh word to her over the years, but what's the use of it unless he endures hardship and poverty? So when she heard Sun Mo's words just now, she was really very happy.
I want to agree to get rid of the current days where I am hungry but unable to survive.
"Madam." Yilan was lost in thought for a moment and didn't notice Li Yaoguang walking into the hall. She didn't come back to her senses until his gentle voice came to her ears.
"What are you thinking about, madam, so focused?" Li Yaoguang asked with concern.
"It's nothing." Yilan said casually, cheering up and saying, "Why did my husband come back so early today? Didn't he say he was going to the Imperial College to teach?"
"There is something temporary at the Imperial College, and the lectures have been rescheduled for tomorrow." After answering Yilan's words, he added: "By the way, I just saw a stranger walking out of our courtyard. Does Madam know him?
"
"He is a distant relative. He wanted to come over to borrow some money. He has already been sent away. You don't need to pay attention to him." Yilan said as she took off the black cloak from his body. "You must be tired after coming here all the way. Please sit down and rest first."
Yes, I'll ask someone to get a basin of hot water to wipe your husband's face."
"No need, Madam, please sit down too, I have something to say to you." Li Yaoguang took Yilan's hand and asked him to sit down next to him.
