"Sister Clan, I have something to do at home, please leave first." Some people are already impatient and want to leave. Since they can't go to the Xuanping Marquis Mansion and meet Fengzi Longsun by chance, why are they still staying here? If I had known it, I wouldn't have come.
, and also wasted a silver hairpin. After the girl finished speaking, she walked out.
"Young girl." Yu Lanyun seemed to not see the impatience in the woman's eyes and said calmly.
Then there were those who left, and those who were dragged away. In the end, there were only two people left, and these two were coincidentally, one was Yu Pan'er, and the other was the girl in green, Yu Qian'er.
The two were cousins. Yu Pan'er had been waiting in front of Yu Lan Yan'an before, but Yu Qian'er got closer because of Yu Lanxue. Of course, none of them had a crush on Yu Lanyun.
Everyone else in the room left, leaving the two sisters alone. After the two sisters looked at each other, Yu Qianer smiled first: "Fourth girl, I actually have something to ask you, but I don't know whether to say it or not."
"If it's difficult to speak, there's no need to say it." Yu Lanyun smiled softly, with a bit of displeasure.
Yu Qian'er was stunned. She didn't expect Yu Lanyun to be so rude.
"What the fourth girl said is really uncomfortable. Those who didn't know it thought you were the real girl of the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion." Yu Pan'er couldn't help but mocked.
"Isn't it?" Yu Lanyun asked.
"You..." Yu Paner was annoyed and pointed at Yu Lanyun.
Yu Qian'er hurriedly stretched out her hand, grabbed her, and said with a smile: "Why are you angry? Speak properly, why are you angry? Isn't the fourth girl the only girl in the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion now?"
The last sentence sounded like it was being explained to Yu Lanyun, but it made people feel uncomfortable inexplicably, especially the word "only" was emphasized.
It is the only one, and it also represents the downfall of the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion.
The current Zhengyuanhou Mansion only relies on some weak reputation. The Crown Prince of Zhengyuanhou? If it relies on the Crown Prince of Zhengyuanhou, it would be a joke.
Yu Lanyun lowered his head and said nothing.
"Look at her..." Yu Pan'er was still not convinced, but Yu Qian'er pulled her back. In the end, she could only stomp her feet, turned around and walked out angrily, "If you want to talk to her, just hurry up. We have something to do later."
If you want to go out for a walk, you can always talk here."
"Okay, I'm just talking to the fourth girl. If you're impatient, just enjoy the scenery on the side." Yu Qianer said with a smile.
Yu Pan'er nodded, glanced sideways at Yu Lanyun, and walked out.
"Fourth girl, actually I came here today for one more thing. Someone wants to ask Fourth girl something." Seeing Yu Pan'er leave, Yu Qian'er smiled and said to Yu Lanyun.
This time, Yu Lanyun didn't wait for objection, clapped her hands, and a woman came out from behind the pavilion on one side.
Looking at this strange woman, Yu Lanyun's face changed slightly.
"Fourth girl, someone troubled me to bring this here. If you have anything to do, you can talk to yourselves. I'll go see my cousin. She has always been innocent. She bumped into the old lady in the house a while ago. When the wife was here,
Pan'er has a pleasant temperament." Yu Qian'er said with a smile.
When Mrs. Yu was Mrs. Yu, Yu Pan'er was lovable, but now she is afraid that Yu Pan'er will offend the old lady. Doesn't that mean that the old lady has a bad temper and will deliberately treat them harshly.
Yu Lanyun lowered her face, glanced at the mother-in-law, and looked slightly nervous.
Who would send a woman to ask questions at this time?
"I have seen the fourth girl." The mother-in-law smiled and stepped forward to salute.
"Which family are you from?" Yu Lanyun asked after looking at the mother-in-law up and down.
"I would like to ask the fourth girl, did the fourth girl do what our master said that day? Did she do something wrong? The rumors outside now are different from what our master said at the beginning." The mother-in-law said without waiting for Yu Lanyun,
He straightened up, with a somewhat unkind look on his face.
"Who are you?" Yu Lanyun didn't answer the question. After looking the woman up and down for a few times, she suddenly sneered, "You're just a woman from the Yu clan, and you actually came to the Marquis Zhengyuan's Mansion to talk about whether you are the master or not.
, what a joke.”
"You don't believe it?" The mother-in-law was shocked.
"Do you have evidence?" Yu Lanyun asked.
"I..." The mother-in-law was stunned for a moment, and then she came to her senses, "These words were told by the master to the slave. Miss Yun and our master were the only ones who were there at that time. Is it possible that a third person knew about this?"
?」
Yu Lanyun did not answer immediately, but still looked at the mother-in-law suspiciously. After a long while, she said: "I have never seen you."
"There are so many people waiting around the master, how come Miss Yun has seen so many of them? Miss Yun only needs to answer why things are like this." The mother-in-law said aggressively.
"I don't know." Yu Lanyun said.
The mother-in-law was stunned for a moment, and it took her a while to realize: "This...isn't this what Miss Yun did?"
"I did it, and I followed your master's wishes, but I don't know how it ended up like this. The people from the Criminal Department came over to ask a few questions, and then I did the investigation on my own. I am a purdah woman, and the old lady accompanied me to ask.
The last few sentences are no longer very appropriate, so how can I keep showing my face. As for what I said, if your master doesn’t believe me, you can go to the Ministry of Punishment to check, there should be records.”
Yu Lanyun looked serious and did not question the mother-in-law's identity.
"Miss Yun didn't say anything wrong?"
"If your master doesn't believe it, go to the Criminal Department to investigate." Yu Lanyun reiterated again, with clear eyes.
"But..." The mother-in-law still had no intention of sparing Yu Lanyun, and was about to press her further when she suddenly heard the sound of footsteps coming from behind, "Four girls, the third girl from the Xuanping Hou Mansion is here."
Yu Lanyun was overjoyed and stood up suddenly: "Please come quickly!"
The look on the mother-in-law’s face has changed visibly…
"Miss Yun, please leave." The mother-in-law retreated.
Yu Lanyun waved her hand, and the mother-in-law turned and left.
As soon as she came out, she saw Yu Xijiao coming with her maid, and she quickly stepped aside respectfully, while Yu Xijiao and Mingyue walked past her.
As soon as they entered, the mother-in-law left immediately and hurriedly left the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion without telling the two Yu sisters.
There were many guests coming and going from the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion today. Some went to Yu Lanyun to add makeup, and some went to see the old lady. I checked when I entered. It is more convenient to go out now.
The mother-in-law left Yuanhou Mansion and walked to the entrance of an alley outside the street. When she entered the alley, there was an ordinary oil-walled carriage parked inside.
Seeing the mother-in-law coming, the coachman immediately sat up straight.
The mother-in-law got on the carriage, and the carriage driver went along the alley to the other end, then passed a few streets, and finally turned in front of the Qian Mansion. The carriage entered the Qian Mansion directly from the side door.
When the carriage stopped, the old lady got off the carriage and walked all the way to the inner courtyard. There were maids on the road. When the old lady saw her, they all saluted with a smile. This old lady was a confidant of the old lady. No one dared to be disrespectful.
Hearing that the mother-in-law was back, Mrs. Qian asked her to come in.
"Old madam, after asking, Miss Yu said she didn't know. She just did what the concubine said." After entering the door, the mother-in-law saluted respectfully.
Mrs. Qian sat on the chair with a gloomy expression: "You didn't say anything else? Didn't you ask clearly?"
"I didn't say anything else. I also wanted to ask more questions, but the third girl from the Xuanping Hou Mansion happened to be here." The mother-in-law heard the reprimand and explained hurriedly.
"Go and put some makeup on too?" Madam Qian asked after thinking for a while.
"It looks like this. I saw that the maid behind me had a tray covered with red brocade," the mother-in-law said.
"She actually went to add makeup herself." Mrs. Qian said to herself. It sounded a little surprising at first, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that it was not an accident.
"What did Yu Lanyun say? Tell her carefully again..." Mrs. Qian said in a low voice.
The mother-in-law then repeated her words exactly as they were.
"She first doubted you, and then she believed you when you said that no third person knew about what happened at that time. She said that she only followed what Xi'er said. She even said that if she didn't believe it, she could check the records of the Ministry of Justice!" Mrs. Qian repeated as she continued.
Thoughtful.
Yu Lanyun's temperament: first he was panicked and scared, then he was afraid of people knowing, and finally he could forcefully say that he could
If you check the records, it might not be her fault.
The old lady didn't know exactly what the matter was. The letter sent by Yu Yuxi only said that it was something that King Duan asked her to do. She asked Yu Lanyun, but Yu Lanyun didn't do it well. Something went wrong. Please ask for money.
The old lady sent someone to ask Yu Lanyun. Yu Yuxi was now living in the Xuanping Marquis Mansion. She was in poor health and had inconvenient access.
The most important thing is that the side door of the two houses was nailed shut, which is said to be related to the fact that she called Yu Lanyun over before.
Seeing that Mrs. Qian was silent after saying this, the mother-in-law said again: "Old madam... do you want to go to the Criminal Department to check?"
Mrs. Qian shook her hand and said seriously: "If it were before... it would have been easy for the master to send someone to ask, but now... it is better not to cause trouble. Royal matters are not trivial."
"Old lady..." The mother-in-law was startled.
"Xi'er should be talking about the previous incident. The Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion found out about the note left by Ning..." Mrs. Qian said slowly, narrowing her eyes slightly, "This matter is very big.
, it’s not easy to intervene rashly.”
Not only because this matter was such a big deal, if it had been in the past, Mrs. Qian would not have intervened, but because of the previous draft, the Qian Mansion was also brought to the forefront. Even if the daughter-in-law died, the impact of this matter is now slightly smaller.
Retreat, Mrs. Qian doesn’t think it’s a good idea for her to stand out at this time.
The Qian Mansion still needs to recuperate, and what happened that time was also traumatic for Mrs. Qian.
"Old madam, is this how you reply to your concubine?" The mother-in-law didn't understand.
Mrs. Qian was silent for a long time before saying, "Lizhen hasn't returned home these days?"
"The prince's wife has been ill since the ceremony, and she is not fully recovered yet." The mother-in-law reminded that in fact, after Qian Lizhen caused trouble in the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, Qian Lizhen basically stopped going back to the house and hid money.
The old lady, and later it was the old lady Qian who sent someone to force her over.
Then something happened to Qian Lizhen's biological mother...
