Chapter 11 Taking Changsun Yan as a knife(1/2)
Hearing this familiar voice, Li Yanran immediately looked back excitedly.
"Have you missed me, Xiao Yanran?"
Wu Zetian looked at her daughter with a bright smile.
"I want to, how could I not want to?"
Li Yanran jumped off the swing, rushed into Wu Zetian's arms, and kissed her: "Mom, Yanran has something to tell her."
"It just so happens that I also have something to ask you."
Wu Zetian glanced at his daughter. She came out of the palace and actually had something to ask Li Yanran.
"Auntie, my matter is urgent, please listen to me first."
Li Yanran was also stunned when she heard that Wu Zetian was in trouble, but thinking that Li Feng was still in custody at Yaxing, she quickly spoke.
"Okay, then you go ahead and speak, my mother-in-law is listening."
"Auntie, Lao Li and I met Changsun Yan from Changsun Mansion in Dongshi today."
"Chang Sunyan?"
Hearing this name, Wu Zetian couldn't help but frown.
She came here this time because Li Zhi told her about Chang Sun Yan.
Was this happened to his own daughter?
How could such a coincidence happen?
"What? Does Aniang know about Changsun Yan?"
Looking at Wu Zetian's expression, Li Yanran tilted her head?
Could it be that my mother-in-law knows this person?
"It's just that you've heard it before. Keep talking."
Wu Zetian smiled slightly and motioned for Li Yanran to continue.
"Auntie, give me a hundred guan, I need it urgently!"
Anyway, Granny Zhang said that there is a lot of money in the house, and she wants eighty guan, and a hundred guan. Anyway, she wants it once, so why doesn't she want more.
Besides, grandma’s money is not her own money, so it’s reasonable for her to ask for more.
With these twenty coins as private money, next time Li Feng is sold, I will have money to redeem him.
"???"
Wu Zetian was completely stunned. What happened?
If you meet Changsun Yan, you need one hundred guan?
What logic?
Could it be that his daughter was blackmailed by Zhang Sunyan?
It’s not even Zhangsun Wuji who can bully his own daughter, let alone a little Zhangsun Yan!
Wu Zetian looked at him with cold eyes and said angrily: "Has this eldest son Yan insulted you? Tell me, she will not let him go."
"No, is my daughter that easy to bully?"
Then Li Yanran told what happened in Dongshi.
"My daughter doesn't want those Lingnan Dao girls to end up in brothels, nor can she just sit back and watch Changsun Yan ruin the reputation of the Changsun family.
Moreover, my daughter sees that something might be wrong with these women, so she might be able to find out something."
Li Yanran smiled and then spread her little hand in front of Wu Zetian.
"The most important thing is that Lao Li is still being held in Yahang. If he doesn't get the money, he will be sold to Longyang Tower. So,
Auntie, give me a hundred guan."
Wu Zetian also breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that Li Yanran was not bullied.
But there are some things she still needs to explain to Li Yanran.
"It is indeed inappropriate for these Lingnan Dao girls to end up in brothels like this, and the reputation of the Changsun family cannot be ruined in the hands of Changsun Yan, but there is one thing I want to tell you in advance."
"Auntie, tell me, my daughter is listening."
Li Yanran nodded obediently, blinking at her mother with her big eyes.
The more she looked at her mother-in-law, the more Li Yanran felt that she was unique, with a hint of power in her beauty, and that the so-called stars of later generations could not compare to her.
Grandma is like this, but I wonder what kind of person Wu Zetian is?
"Yanran, you can save those women this time, and Auntie Baiguan can also give them to you.
But what if you encounter hundreds or thousands of people next time?”
"People should act according to their ability and cannot be too kind to women. Otherwise, in the end, not only will they harm others, but they will also be deeply involved in it. Do you understand?"
Wu Zetian touched Li Yanran's hair. It was good for her daughter to have a kind heart, but she should not be overly sympathetic, otherwise she would be killed instead of saving others.
She must let her daughter understand this.
"You should do good deeds within your ability and do nothing rashly even if you are poor. Yanran still understands this."
Li Yanran knew that Wu Zetian was teaching her the principles of life, so she nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
"You are a good person who does good deeds within your ability and does not act rashly even when you are poor. I hope you won't overdo what you say. This time I can help you save people, but I won't help you raise them.
You will be responsible for all the subsequent expenses of these women, and you have to find a way to support them yourself.
If you can't support these ten girls, I want you to sell them to Yahang yourself, do you understand?"
Wu Zetian looked at Li Yanran with some surprise. She did not expect that her daughter, taught by Wumingshi, could speak well at such a young age.
Not to mention anything else, this poem alone seemed to Wu Zetian to be much more precious than the hundred strings.
"Yanran obeys, Madam A-niang, hurry up and give me the money.
Don’t let Lao Li run away because he can’t wait, and that’s the end of it.”
Li Yanran's eyes were like a crescent moon, and she spread her little hand in front of Wu Zetian again.
"Here comes someone."
Wu Zetian nodded and shouted directly outside.
"lady."
Grandma Zhang slowly appeared in front of Li Yanran and Wu Zetian.
"Go and prepare a hundred dollars."
"???"
Grandma Zhang was also stunned. Didn't the young lady just ask for eighty strings from her? Now it took a little more effort to increase it to a hundred strings?
"Why don't you hurry up and get ready?"
Wu Zetian frowned slightly, what's wrong with this mama?
Have you become confused?
Grandma Zhang trembled, immediately saluted Wu Zetian, and slowly withdrew.
"Auntie, you said you have something to ask me, what is it?"
After Baiguan's problem was solved, Li Yanran suddenly thought that Wu Zetian had something to ask him, so she asked directly.
"I almost forgot about the real thing. Yanran, do you know that there have been some rumors circulating in Chang'an City in the past two days?
It is said that Changsun Wuji's name is compiling the history of the Tang Dynasty, but in fact he is recharging his energy and waiting for the time to come true to make a complete comeback.
What do you think the explanation for this is?"
Wu Zetian slapped herself on the forehead. Just now, she was so preoccupied with how to educate her daughter that she almost forgot about the real thing.
Li Yanran's eyes suddenly widened. Isn't this what she told Li Ba?
Didn't expect this to come out?
This guy seems to have a high status!
Otherwise, the mouth cannot be so big and the news cannot spread so fast.
"Auntie, do you think this is true or false?" Looking at Wu Zetian who was a little anxious, Li Yanran couldn't help but ask.
"Aniang thinks this matter is true and false."
A gleam of wisdom flashed in Wu Zetian's eyes, and she slowly expressed her opinion.
"My mother is still smart. I also think this matter is just groundless rumors. Someone deliberately spread the rumors to confuse the public.
And it's very possible that they are from Changsun's faction,
They probably did this to delay time for Prime Minister Changsun Wuji to complete the compilation of Tang History as soon as possible.
