Liuyun stood beside the clusters of flowers, lost in thought. She had died once. It seemed that many things were not that important to her now. She seemed to have become two people, one desperately wanted To avenge herself for being tortured, the other one is tired of such a life of intrigue and conspiracy. She has never liked intrigues.
"Miss, are you okay?" Wan Qing's voice interrupted Liu Yun's thoughts. She just followed Liu Yun's instructions and stayed in the corridor. Not long after, she saw Mr. Shen leaving with anger on his face. Then The gentle Mr. Shen turned out to have an expression as cold as winter. Wan Qing immediately ran to the garden, only to see the young lady looking at the flowers in ecstasy, her brows furrowing even more tightly.
In the view of the late Qing Dynasty, marrying Mr. Shen was a very good choice.
Mr. Shen is handsome, generous, humble, talented, and favored by the emperor. He has no other confidante around him. I heard that he doesn’t even have a maidservant. If such a clean and self-sufficient prefect can become a eldest lady, Your husband is definitely the best choice.
"It's okay, let's go back." Liu Yun breathed a sigh of relief and decided to ignore his complicated and troubled thoughts for the time being. He couldn't help but secretly cursed himself for being useless. Shen Yi could easily affect her emotions in the past, but he didn't expect that he could still affect her now. .
"Mr. Shen looked very ugly when he left just now. Did the young lady and Mr. Shen quarrel?" Wan Qing hesitated for a moment, glanced around, and then asked in a lowered voice.
"It's nothing, he just had something to do and left in a hurry." His slightly impatient tone showed that Liu Yun was not in a good mood either. Wan Qing stopped talking and helped Liu Yun walk towards the 'Zhuyan Pavilion'.
Unexpectedly, before he reached his yard, he saw Xiao Liuzi looking at the door. When he saw Liuyun, he immediately ran over and said hurriedly, "Miss, something happened, something happened to Qianlan."
Liu Yun clenched his fists almost all of a sudden, with a sharp light shining in his eyes, "What happened?"
"Qianlan was tidying up the lady's study, but then someone came and called her away. The servant didn't care at first, but seeing that it was time for the lady to have snacks in the afternoon and she hadn't come back yet, the servant was a little worried and sent someone there. Ask around." When Xiao Liuzi said this, he hesitated and straightened up suddenly, looking at Liuyun, "Miss must save Qianlan, she was detained by Nanyuan people, saying... To seduce the master."
Seducing the master?! As soon as these words came out, not only Liuyun's expression changed, but also Wan Qing, who had always been calm, suddenly changed his expression. The maid who sold herself into the house to seduce the master, such a crime can be big or small. In serious cases, it can even lead to death with a stick. .
"She is in Nanyuan? Who did she seduce?" Liu Yun tried hard to calm down. Now was not the time to be impulsive. She had to understand the situation clearly, otherwise she would not be able to save Qianlan even if she went there.
"Young Master..." As soon as Xiao Liuzi finished speaking, Liu Yun's expression turned even darker.
Who is Hong Jing, the eldest son of the Mu family? Although he is a concubine, he is still the eldest son. He has learned business from Master Mu since he was a child. There is no way he will inherit the family business in the future, but it is true that Master Mu values this eldest son a little. .
Although Hongjing is eager for quick success and loves great success, his nature is not bad, but he has a problem that most playboys have. He is romantic and lustful. He has had a daughter-in-law since he was fourteen years old. Now he is sixteen years old and has a daughter-in-law. He already has several concubines. If the Lin family had not allowed him to take concubines first and marry his wife first, he would not have fewer concubines in his room than his father.
"Qianlan has always behaved himself, and will never...not..." Xiaoliuzi was so nervous that he couldn't speak clearly. He and Qianlan had served the young lady together for many years in the late Qing Dynasty. He had always regarded Qianlan as his sister, and now she
When something like this happened, Xiao Liuzi was really nervous.
If Qianlan is accused of seducing the eldest young master, with the second lady's protective and sharp methods, Qianlan will definitely be tortured to death. What's more, the relationship between the eldest lady and the second madam is very delicate now, and Xiaoliuzi is worried about the second lady.
If the lady is angry at Qianlan, then she is really in trouble.
"I know." Liuyun calmed down. She understood Qianlan's temperament. Although she was a little confused, she was a sober person when it came to major matters. She had always kept her duty and would never do anything like this.
She absolutely believed in the idea of violating the rules.
"Go and call Zi Qian and follow me to Nanyuan. You and Ziyuan will stay in the yard and no one will be allowed in or out." After saying that, Liu Yun hurriedly led Wan Qing towards Nanyuan. Zi Qian came soon.
followed them.
When they arrived at Nanyuan, Qianlan had been tied up and was kneeling on the ground with her hands tied. Her right cheek was swollen, blood was oozing from the corner of her mouth, her clothes were messy, her bun was half down, and she looked very embarrassed.
"Aunt Lin, what mistake did my maid make, and I need Aunt Lao to punish her personally?" Liu Yun stabilized his figure and walked in, his eyes not lingering on Qianlan's body, looking at her with a half-smile.
Written by Lin.
"Yun'er, you came just in time. I was about to send someone to find you." Mrs. Lin said, and greeted her affectionately. She pulled Liu Yun to Qianlan and said indignantly, "Auntie, I really don't deserve it for you.
, there is such a shameless maid, shameless to come to Nanyuan to seduce your brother, if it is not discovered by the aunt's girl, if such a scandal spreads out, where will our Mu family's face be put? "
They were talking about Mu Mansion's reputation again. Liu Yun curled her lips in her heart. Every time she heard their high-sounding excuses, she couldn't help but want to curse. If they really cared about Mu Mansion's reputation, they wouldn't always be like this.
Much ado about nothing.
"Auntie, what you mean is that Qian Lan seduced the elder brother?" Liu Yun's smile did not diminish, as if he had heard some interesting joke. He immediately looked at Qian Lan and said, "What do you think is going on?"
Just as Qianlan was about to speak, Mrs. Lin took over, "Miss, it's better not to interfere with such filthy matters. Miss has not yet had her hair. Even my aunt doesn't know how to talk about such a thing. Such a girl will stay here."
Those around you will definitely cause you great trouble in the future."
"Miss..." As soon as Qianlan opened her mouth, the old woman beside her immediately slapped her, causing her to fall to the ground. The old woman frowned and lectured, "You are such a mean person, you still have the shame to do such a thing."
Asking for mercy from the eldest lady, I really lose the eldest lady’s face.”
Wan Qing and Qianlan were sisters. Seeing her being bullied like this, they couldn't bear to swallow their anger. They quickly stepped forward and pushed the old woman away and said plausibly, "How dare you, a low-level woman, shout in front of the eldest lady?"
Xiao Ming, you really don’t take Mu Mansion’s rules seriously, and you’re not afraid of dirtying our eldest lady’s eyes, so why don’t you leave quickly.”
After saying that, he carefully helped Qianlan up. Seeing that her hands behind her back were scratched by the rough hemp rope, her heart ached, but the eldest lady did not say anything, and she did not dare to loosen her ties easily.
, he could only help her to kneel upright stubbornly, and then knelt down in front of Liuyun to plead, "Miss, Qianlan must have been wronged. Please seek justice for her."
But no one expected that Liu Yun would step forward indiscriminately, slap Wan Qing's cheek hard, and coldly murmured, "Presumptuous."
