Seeing Yao Zhenting getting on the sedan and leaving Yunde Tower quietly, Ting Yuedeng became anxious.
"Why is the master gone? Isn't the eldest lady inside?"
"Impossible, I saw with my own eyes the eldest lady and Lou Yuxin kissing me in the box on the second floor... We can't let the master leave like this! Otherwise the third lady's efforts will be in vain, I will stop the sedan chair!" Liu Xing said urgently
.
"No! Third Miss only told us to watch carefully and didn't ask us to do anything else. We should go back first." Ting Yue held Liu Xing tightly and said firmly.
In the inn, when Ting Yue and Liu Xing walked in with their heads hanging down, Yao Mowan was sitting leisurely at the table, picking up the tea lid with her jade fingers, tapping the rim of the cup a few times, and taking a sip.
"You're back? How are things going?" Yao Mowan put down her tea cup and looked at Ting Yue with her long eyelashes twinkling.
"Miss, I'm sorry, we messed up the matter. Somehow, the master entered Yunde Building and came out quietly without any movement." Ting Yue looked at Yao Mowan apologetically.
"Otherwise, what do you think there will be?" Yao Mowan raised her lips slightly and looked at Ting Yue with raised eyebrows. There was a smile in her eyes, which was indeed in line with her father's behavior.
"If you catch someone in bed, you'll have to soak the eldest lady in a pig cage!" Ting Yue said matter-of-factly.
"Yue'er, please remember, no matter how powerful a person is, there will be times when he breaks his teeth and swallows them." Yao Mowan explained softly.
"Then our work is in vain?" Liu Xing looked at Yao Mowan in confusion.
"The most intolerable thing for men in this world, regardless of their status, is for their woman to lie in the arms of another man, regardless of whether he loves this woman... What's more, my father saw it with his own eyes. My father concealed it well.
It doesn't mean that he doesn't care, and maybe he's vomiting blood now. Tingyue, does your father still have the habit of drinking lotus seed soup after dinner?" Yao Mowan suppressed the coldness in her eyes and suddenly changed the subject.
"Yes, this has been a habit for many years. Madam used to do it herself. Since Madam became weak, Grandma Gao has been responsible for this matter." Ting Yue said truthfully.
"Really..." Yao Mowan lowered her beautiful eyes, thoughtfully.
"Miss, you asked me to give all the banknotes to the opera singer, so what should we use to pay for the house?" Ting Yue seemed to have suddenly thought of something and asked suddenly.
"Go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion tonight. Aunt Gao is so kind to my mother, I must repay her well." Yao Mowan's eyes suddenly turned cold, and there was an ice-like edge in her eyes. On one side, Ting Yue and Liu
They woke up and looked at each other, secretly surprised.
"You guys come and sit here. It's been a tiring day and it's time to rest." Yao Mowan turned her eyes and looked at Ting Yue and Liu Xing with a smile. Her smile was as bright as the spring breeze and rain, and they were completely different from just now. At this moment, they were completely different.
, they really believe that the third lady has changed, she has become rich, calm and wise.
The Golden Crow falls in the west, the Jade Rabbit rises in the east, the moonlight pours like water, leaving mottled tree shadows through the branches. When the wind blows, the tree shadows dance, and the shaking image makes the night become particularly cold.
Main Hall of Prime Minister Yao's Mansion
After dinner, Yao Tu ordered his servants to take down the food. Dou Xianglan rinsed her mouth with tea, and then handed the cup to her maid Yuzhi. The corner of her eye seemed to accidentally glance at Yao Zhenting's left thumb, and her heart was slightly shaken.
"Yuzhi, tell Aunt Gao to hurry up and don't keep the master waiting. Master, is there anything unhappy in the court today? Isn't it a good look on your face when I see you?" Dou Xianglan asked cautiously.
"The queen has a difficult childbirth, and one corpse kills two people. Now that the queen's position is vacant, all the concubines in the harem are eager to try it. If you have time, you can walk around the palace more often, and you can also give Su Luan some advice and make her feel more at ease." Yao Zhenting frowned and said,
He didn't mention anything about Yun De Lou.
"Don't worry, sir. Su Luan has always been well-behaved and sensible. Besides being favored by the emperor, and being a noble concubine, he is naturally the best choice for the queen. He will definitely shine on the family line in the future." Dou Xianglan deliberately pronounced the word "glow on the family line" very hard, and cursed in her heart.
, even though she has unruly qualities, but with the support of her daughter who is about to become a queen, she has nothing to fear.
"It's best to do as you wish." Yao Zhenting's eyes flashed coldly, and he spoke softly. At this moment, Aunt Gao walked in with a diligent look on her face, carrying a soup cup filled with lotus seed soup.
"Master, the lotus seed soup is here, drink it while it's hot." As she spoke, Aunt Gao placed the soup cup in front of Yao Zhenting and opened it respectfully.
Yao Zhenting breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the spoon, scooped up the lotus seed soup, and was about to put it into his mouth, when Yao Mowan suddenly ran in with pear blossoms in the rain.
"Mo Wan misses her father so much... Wuwu..." Yao Mowan's appearance shocked everyone present, especially Dou Xianglan. At this moment, Dou Xianglan's eyes were dark and she glared at Aunt Gao.
He looked aggrieved. Yao Tu, who was waiting at the door, was also very surprised and looked suspiciously at Ting Yue, who walked in with Yao Mowan.
"I haven't seen you in the past two days, where have you been?" Yao Zhenting glanced at Dou Xianglan subconsciously, thinking that she would eradicate the problem.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
!" Yao Mowan wiped away tears and looked at Yao Zhenting, sobbing intermittently.
"Old slave...Old slave, no! Madam..." Aunt Gao never expected that Yao Mowan would say this, and cold sweat suddenly broke out on her forehead.
"Mammy, all the money you gave Mo Wan has been spent... Wuwu..." Yao Mowan wiped her tears with her hands and looked at Aunt Gao with aggrieved eyes.
"Auntie Gao, you are so loyal!" Dou Xianglan knew the clues at the table, her voice as cold as ice.
"No... Miss Third, you can't talk nonsense!" Aunt Gao looked at Yao Mowan in fear, her body shaking like chaff.
"Father, Mo Wan is so hungry..." Yao Mowan ignored Grandma Gao's embarrassed look and looked at Yao Zhenting timidly.
"This is for you." Yao Zhenting had no appetite at all, so he pushed the lotus seed soup in front of Yao Mowan like a dog. In Yao Zhenting's eyes, his daughter is a loser. Even if Yao Moxin is the queen and Yao Suluan is the queen,
Imperial concubines, but in Yao Zhenting's eyes, they are just tools for him to stabilize his position in the court.
Yao Mowan was so happy that she immediately stepped forward and pulled the soup cup. In the eyes of everyone, Yao Mowan was probably too happy, so she was so excited that she pulled the soup cup to the ground, and the lotus seed soup spilled all over the floor.
"There are no rules! Yuzhi, why don't you take the third lady down with you!" Dou Xianglan's eyes turned cold, and she looked at Yuzhi with deep meaning.
"Sirius! Come back quickly!" Just when Yuzhi was about to step forward to catch Yao Mowan, a wolf-like hunting dog with a black back and green eyes suddenly rushed in from outside the door. As soon as the dog entered the main hall, it rushed straight to the door.
He licked the lotus seeds on the ground next to the soup.
"Liu Xing, what's going on? Don't pull it out yet! I've shocked the master, can you bear it?" When Yao Tu saw this, he immediately scolded him sharply.
"I'm sorry, sir, I'm sorry butler... I'll take it away now!" Liu Xing looked at Yao Tu in panic, and immediately stepped forward to pull Sirius away. Almost at the same time, Sirius suddenly rolled on the ground, whined a few times and kicked his legs.
And die.
"This... this lotus seed soup is poisonous?" Seeing the hunting dog lying dead on the ground, Yao Tu immediately exclaimed, and then looked at Aunt Gao. With Yao Tu's calmness and sophistication, he naturally knew that all this was not accidental, and he also heard that Yao Mowan
Every sentence was directed at Grandma Gao. This exclamation was just him following the current.
"That's unreasonable!" Yao Zhenting frowned fiercely, stood up from the table, strode up to Grandma Gao, kicked her to the ground, and then looked at Dou Xianglan.
"This is the good person you trained!" Yao Zhenting's eyes widened with anger, almost growling.
"Master Mingjian, she...she is from Mo Li's room, she must be Mo Li..." Dou Xianglan argued hurriedly, but was cut off by Yao Zhenting.
"I already know who she is!" Just thinking of the scene in Yunde Tower, Yao Zhenting felt his internal organs rolling and tangled as if on fire.
"Father... Mo Wan is afraid..." At this time, Yao Mowan ran up to Yao Zhenting like a frightened deer and spoke timidly.
"Mo Wan, since you only have your father left, you should stay well in Yao Xiang's Mansion. Father swears that no one will dare to hurt you if you have him for a day! Someone, take the third lady back to the room to sleep!" Yao Zhenting cast a cold gaze.
Xiang Dou Xianglan, every word is full of warning.
"Master..." Dou Xianglan still wanted to explain, but Yao Zhenting had already walked away. Seeing Yao Zhenting leaving, Yao Tu immediately ordered Liu Xing to carry the body of the hunting dog out, and ordered Tingyue to take Yao Mowan back to the room, and then he also left angrily.
main hall.
"Master... Master, do you believe me, this lotus seed soup is not poisonous! How dare I poison the master, madam... Madam, the old slave really sold the third lady to Yixiangyuan, the third lady is lying,
All this is her conspiracy! Madam, you have to believe me!" Seeing Yao Zhenting walking away, Grandma Gao hurriedly got up and knelt down in front of Dou Xianglan, her forehead pressed against the ground, her whole body trembling.
"An idiot can throw away a conspiracy? Aunt Gao, you are really funny. Yuzhi, send Aunt Gao to the violence room." Dou Xianglan's eyes were cold, and she gritted her teeth and spoke. Then, regardless of Aunt Gao's wailing, she stood up and left the main hall.
Everyone who betrays her in this world will die, and so will Mo Li, and so will Grandma Gao.
"No... no... madam! This old slave has been wronged -" Aunt Gao howled miserably, but her body was pulled out of the main hall like a dog by the nursing staff, and went straight to the violence room. The violence room was the house where the culprits were found.
Where slaves are punished, usually domestic slaves who enter the violent chamber rarely come out alive, and even if they survive, they only have half a life left.
It was past midnight, and the frost and dew were freezing. Aunt Gao's howling like a slaughtering pig continued until the ugly hour, and then stopped intermittently.
Ninghua Pavilion
The room was silent, the candlelight was flickering, and the green smoke was floating in the incense burner, like a dream.
"Miss, this is such a relief!" Ting Yue walked to Yao Mowan from the window, she couldn't contain her joy.
At the table, Yao Mowan slapped her cheek with one hand, and gently teased the candle wick with a silver pick with the other hand. She looked so focused that she didn't put down the silver pick until she heard Ting Yue's voice and stood up leisurely.
"It's time, accompany me to the woodshed." Yao Mowan stood up slowly. Under her eyelashes as beautiful as butterfly feathers, the light in her eyes was as cold and terrifying as a deep pool. Tingyue was stunned for a moment, and Yao Mowan had already
