The ancestral halls of all houses are the same, but the one in Hou's Mansion is bigger. Liuyun had also come to worship at the ancestral hall during the Chinese New Year. This time it just deepened the impression.
Forcing her to spend a day in seclusion in the ancestral hall is actually the lightest punishment. If this matter were placed on someone else and the person in charge was incompetent, Ling Lan would never let it go easily.
The light punishment given to Liu Yun is, on the one hand, because Liu Yun is the young lady of the Hou Mansion after all, and she is young, so if the punishment is really harsh, it will make everyone look bad when the fuss breaks out, and on the other hand, it is because Ling
Lan knew in her heart that this was just a trap set up by Bai Ruoyan. It was Liu Yun who was framed, but it was Ling Lan who was targeted. It was she who did not send someone to protect Liu Yun, and others took advantage of it, so she
There are also mistakes.
As the saying goes, Liu Yun is very satisfied with the current situation. Of course, if someone can bring a hand warmer or a warm quilt to the ancestral hall, she will be even happier. After all, there is only a thin bed on the bed in the side room.
She strongly doubted whether she could sleep in such a cold place for a whole night.
In the main hall of the ancestral hall were the memorial tablets of the Dongfang family’s ancestors. Liu Yun had not looked at them carefully before, but now she looked at them carefully. She had to say that the Dongfang family’s ancestors were indeed quite famous. She saw many of them who had lived in the past.
The name I saw in the history books of Ling Kingdom is indeed the residence of Hou Men.
The door of the main hall opened with a creak, and a handsome figure appeared outside. The man obviously didn't expect that Liu Yun was seriously looking at the memorial tablets of his ancestors, and for a moment he forgot to walk in.
"Sister-in-law, it seems that I have really underestimated your courage." Dongfang Jing's voice was a bit playful, and his tiptoeing movements were even more interesting. He was carrying a thick quilt in one hand and the other.
Holding a huge food box in one hand, he came in, hooked his foot, and closed the door.
"Why are you here?" Liu Yun took the warm quilt from his hand unceremoniously, walked to the side room and put the quilt on the bed, suddenly feeling that there was still hope for him to spend a night in this ghost place.
"This is the dinner prepared by Mo Li for you. I thought about it but there was nothing to eat. She said that you should make do with some food first and then cook something delicious for you when you come out tomorrow afternoon." Dongfang Jing said.
He has always been an acquaintance, not to mention that he had known Liu Yun a long time ago, and since he secretly went in and out of Zhuyan Pavilion several times, he had always felt an indescribable familiarity with Liu Yun, like a friend he had known for a long time.
As for Liuyun, she has always been willing to pay back a foot of respect from others. She can feel Dongfang Jing's kindness towards her. Only Dongfang Jing in the entire Hou family truly treats her as a young lady.
, she can feel it.
"Is it okay for you to come here secretly?" Liu Yun opened the food box unceremoniously, his eyes filled with warmth. What Moli prepared for her were all her favorite snacks, as well as her favorite fermented glutinous rice dumplings.
, the warm rice dumplings are sweet to the bottom of my heart.
Dongfang Jing opened the food box to the bottom level and took out a hand warmer to Liu Yun: "There is also this, which is what your girl in the late Qing Dynasty told you to remember to give it to you. She said that if you are afraid of the cold, you must put it on
Hold this one in your arms and sleep."
"Thank you." Liu Yun was actually very hungry, but her movements were graceful. Even Dongfang Jing had to say that she had the demeanor of a lady, and was completely no different from Su Wan who had been trained in the Hou Mansion for several years.
"Before my eldest brother left, he specifically asked me to take good care of you. I have been so busy recently that I have no time to take care of you. I heard about you as soon as I came back this afternoon and immediately went to find Mo Li. When the girl saw
Let me bring you something when you get here." Dongfang Jing was a talkative person and kept talking endlessly.
Seeing Liu Yun's calm look, he hesitated in his eyes, and immediately said, "I heard about Su Wan. Someone must have framed you. Do you want me to find someone to investigate."
"No need." Liu Yun shook his head, but did not give an explanation.
"Why? I believe you are not the kind of person who is greedy for ink. Moreover, this matter has been arranged so seamlessly. It is obvious that someone is secretly manipulating it." Dongfang Jing doesn't like to pay attention to things in the house, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't know that her mother
and the fight between the other two ladies.
Liu Yun pursed her lips, feeling a little hesitant in her heart. When Dongfang Ye left, she also told her that she could go to Dongfang Jing if anything happened. Since he said so, this third brother should be trustworthy, right?
"Actually, that day... when the person delivering blood ginseng came, I felt very strange. Manager Lin left in a hurry. I told him in advance that I didn't know much about ingredients, but he still let me stay alone.
During the inspection, I had some doubts in my mind, and then I secretly hid the blood ginseng they sent..." Liu Yun hesitated a little, with an uncomfortable light in her eyes. After all, she didn't want Dongfang Ye's trusted brother to think that she was
She is a woman with deep thoughts.
When she said this, Dongfang Jing understood, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "So you knew in advance that this was not a blood ginseng, and you calmly waited for the next drama and used your tricks. I can understand this. But
,Why don’t you defend yourself? You are being wronged in vain..."
"Because this way, at least in a short period of time, I won't have to get involved in the housekeeper's affairs." Liu Yun bit his lip and explained sheepishly.
Dongfang Jing suddenly realized, but he looked at Liu Yun with an even more disbelieving look. He had always known the influence of power on a person. Both men and women longed for power. He had never seen anyone like Liu Yun.
I don't know whether to call her sober or stupid.
"I have thought about it carefully. I have just entered the Marquis Mansion now and am not a threat to anyone. Even if I do make a mistake, it will only be a small punishment. Just like me, I just stare at the wall and think about it for a day. Once I really become someone else's eyes,
I can't guarantee whether he will lose his life inexplicably due to the threat." Liu Yun chuckled softly, his big bright eyes flickering, but there was a serious look on his face, "I cherish my life very much, and I don't want to do it because of it.
He lost his life due to these inexplicable things."
Dongfang Jing nodded. He already understood Liu Yun's thoughts. He had to admit that Liu Yun's method was very good. It effortlessly kept him away from the center of power and away from disputes, and he did so in an innocent manner.
attitude.
"It seems that I really want to get to know you again, sister-in-law." Dongfang Jing stared at Liuyun with squinted eyes, and suddenly felt that the eldest daughter of the Mu family was so clever that he was surprised.
However, only this kind of her can be worthy of his eldest brother.
