Yun Niang smiled and said: "Madam, don't worry, Alang came back early this morning and is in the study now."
Qingrong smiled sheepishly. She told Chang Ning that she was willing to inquire about information for Chang Ning. If there was any sign, she would personally go to Xizhou to search for the whereabouts of Li Yuanmin if necessary. If she found it, she would take care of her and keep her safe.
.But the premise is that Chang Ning recommends Xue Shao as a general to lead the Western expedition. Chang Ning naturally agreed.
Qingrong's decision was not an impulsive act just for Xue Shao. After all, Li Yuanmin's matter was a hidden danger to the Xue family. Now that she knew about it, she would inevitably feel uneasy if it had been handed over to others earlier. In addition, the war in Xizhou was tense,
It was only a matter of time before the imperial court sent troops to support. Xue Shao had experience in fighting in the Western Regions and was more familiar with the situation here than others, so he was a good candidate. What's more, he went to the Western Regions and relied on the power of the government to get things done.
Smoother.
"Then I'll go find him."
Chang Ning entered the palace today. If nothing unexpected happened, the matter would be a done deal. He had been away for the past two days, and now that he was back, she couldn't wait to tell Xue Shao about it.
"You're back, what are you busy with?" Qingrong asked as she entered the study with a smile.
When Xue Shao saw her coming in, he nervously covered the paper on the desk. Then he thought it was ridiculous, so he took the paper away.
"But I'm disturbing you."
Xue Shao shook his head, "You came just in time."
Qingrong asked with a smile, "You also have something to tell me? That's a coincidence. Seeing that you are anxious, you can tell me first."
But Xue Shao's next words of "peace and separation" blocked Qingrong's next words. Qingrong felt like she was weighing a thousand pounds and couldn't speak. She couldn't believe that this was what Xue Shao was going to tell her.
My own business?
Qingrong's smile froze on her face and she tried hard to maintain her composure, "What did you say?"
Xue Shao said again: "Let's... make peace with each other."
Qingrong stared at him and asked coldly: "Seriously?"
Xue Shao didn't dare to raise his eyes to look at her and quickly hummed.
Unexpectedly, he did not wait for her to question or anger him, but only said calmly, "Okay."
Qingrong lowered her eyes and saw the Heli book on the table. She picked up the Heli book and read it ten lines at a time. She couldn't help but sneered: "It turns out that I had already planned it."
It was really in vain that she had spent all her efforts and planned so many things, but what about him? He had already planned to reconcile with herself. It was really ridiculous!
After saying that, Qingrong didn't stop for a moment and said to Azhen and Songyue, who were already stunned, "Let's go."
Xue Shao looked at her leaving back, with bitterness in his mouth, but he couldn't say a word. He originally thought that if Qingrong asked the reason, he would have to go and explain, but she didn't.
He didn't ask a single word. He should have been relieved... but he was not happy at all.
Songyue and Azhen followed Qingrong back to the room step by step. Qingrong was really angry and aggrieved, and her tone was a little bad. "Close the door." After that, they sat down without saying a word. Azhen and Songyue sat down again without saying a word.
At this time, they looked at each other and did not dare to speak. After waiting for a long time, seeing Qingrong closing her eyes and shaking her head, Songyue said after careful consideration: "Madam, don't be angry."
Qingrong frowned and put the wrinkled He Li Shu in her hand on the table, "You saw it just now, how can I not be angry?"
"Even so, the lady was still impulsive and impulsive just now."
Qingrong said nothing and closed her eyes again.
Yes, she admitted that she was indeed impulsive, even though her face was calm.
Although Songyue was a little dissatisfied with Xue Shao's behavior these days, she still advised: "Madam, maybe Alang is confused for a moment and hasn't thought about it yet. Madam, why don't you talk to him carefully to avoid misunderstandings."
"Confused for a moment?" Qingrong snorted coldly, "Can I say this casually? You don't have to speak for him. Since he has separated from me, how can he still force me?"
Songyue looked at Qingrong, a little worried, "My wife said such passionate words...it's not like you before."
Qingrong paused, remained silent for a moment, nodded and said: "I was angry for a moment, but I really don't want to pay attention to him now."
Songyue was still calm and advised: "Madam, the matter of reconciliation cannot be settled by Alang alone. It also needs the consent of the two elders and can only be accomplished after discussion. Alang...even if he has touched this now
I may not actually take the step of reconciling with my wife, but I'm afraid that Mrs. Lu and the Duke still don't know about it."
Qingrong lowered her eyes and said nothing. At this time, Yun Niang was coming from outside to get buttermilk. Seeing that several people looked bad, the atmosphere became gloomy for a moment, and the smile on her face froze. She asked carefully: "What's wrong? Is this the case?"
?”
Azhen whispered a few words into her ear and told her what had just happened. Yun Niang was also very surprised when she heard this. She could hardly believe her ears. She looked at Qing Rong with a somewhat depressed and aggrieved look.
, she was also angry for a moment, she didn’t expect that Alang was also such a person!
Songyue said: "On this day, husband and wife have been gracious to each other for a hundred days. I don't know why Alang is like this. Is it true that I am so heartbroken about Alang that I am willing to divorce like this? Then I should ask for the reason."
?”
Azhen felt aggrieved for Qingrong, "It's obvious that my wife is devoted to Alang, so let's forget about him being ungrateful. Now it's better, why don't I ask my wife to beg him in turn?"
Songyue looked at her, a little helpless, shook her head and said: "Don't cause trouble. Lowering your head is not a sign of weakness. You can endure it for a while to solve the current difficulty. When the matter is over, the lady still feels angry and resentful. Is she still worried that there is no way to teach her a lesson?"
?”
Qingrong was upset for a moment, shook her head, and said: "Forget it, stop talking, I don't want to hear about him now."
Yun Niang had a stern look on her face and pulled Song Yue, who was still trying to persuade her, "Forget it, Song Yue, this matter is not my fault, why bother bothering my lady by saying more!"
Songyue smiled bitterly and shook her head, "Even so, it doesn't mean that you can stay out of the matter because you are not at fault. You should break the matter into pieces, explain it clearly, and solve the matter."
Qingrong calmed down and thought about the matter carefully in her mind. She breathed a sigh of relief and picked up the Heli book on the table. The look on her face was unclear. She didn't know what she was thinking. She was just watching others.
It seems very lonely.
After a while, she waved her hand and sighed softly: "Okay, let's do this in advance. By the way, have you neatened the quilt cover I embroidered two days ago?"
Yun Niang responded: "It has been put away, and the selected clothing materials and jewelry are almost sorted."
Qingrong nodded and said in a calm tone: "I want to go home first, Yun Niang, you can follow me and ask someone to decorate it and send it back to the Lu Mansion."
Yun Niang was stunned for a moment, then agreed with a worried look on her face, "Yes."
…
"Dong dong dong."
Xue Shao was sitting in the study room and opened a book, but he didn't read it for a long time. He didn't know what Qingrong would be doing at this time. She seemed very calm when she left. Will she be angry with him... Random thoughts
At this moment, Yun Niang's voice was heard outside, "Alang, I have something to look for."
He thought something was wrong with Qingrong, so he raised his voice and said, "Come in."
Yun Niang entered the study, holding back her anger and not looking very good. Xue Shao first asked: "But the lady asked you to come...what's the matter?"
Yun Niang said with a cold face, "My wife has returned to her parents' home. It is my servant who has something to say to Alang."
So straightforward? Although he was the one who proposed the divorce, but thinking about Qingrong's unruffled expression and the unruffled arrangements... he felt a blockage in his heart for no reason. Xue Shao frowned, "You
explain."
Yun Niang looked at his cold and unconcerned look and couldn't help but shout loudly, "My maid saw how caring Alang was to my wife in the past, and thought that Alang was a rare kind and righteous man who was worthy of my wife's trust.
But I didn’t expect that Alang was just making a show in front of others! My wife tried so hard to make Alang happy, but what did Alang do? You said you wanted to reconcile with your wife, but in fact you are just an ungrateful person who wants to cross the river and burn bridges! It’s not worth it at all.
This is how my lady treats me!"
Her father was unkind and ungrateful, and she was not worthy of her mother... The same goes for that person. She entered Yeting with all this resentment and hatred as a slave, and she never gave up the idea... Later, she met Qingrong, and among many
Among the masters, only Qingrong really treated her well. She began to worry about Qingrong and she would be hurt by the man. It could be seen that the two of them got along with each other. After these days, she thought that Xue Shao was sincere in his treatment of Qingrong, and he even took care of her.
She was happy...but it turned out that was not the case! In fact, all men in the world are the same!
Xue Shao was scolded in front of him, not to mention that this was a servant serving below. Yun Niang had already given up, thinking that even if Xue Shao punished her, she would also say these words clearly! But Xue Shao
He just listened with a cold face, but without any anger, but he had no idea what Yun Niang's "plan" and "fulfillment" were? How could he become a person who burns bridges across rivers?
He listened to Yun Niang's accusation in silence, and then asked in a deep voice: "What plan, what fulfillment? What did you hide from me?"
Yun Niang suppressed the fear in her heart and said coldly: "Alang, why do you pretend not to know? You know best what's going on!"
Aren't you going to break up with your wife? Why are you asking these questions now? It's really hypocritical. Now that you've said it all, you still have to look affectionate and loyal. Yun Niang feels secretly ashamed.
"Speak clearly. I don't know."
Yun Niang did not regard Xue Shao as a serious master in her heart, and naturally she would not obey his orders. But she was still a little more panicked after hearing this. If she had not told Xue Shao, she must have had her own plans. Just now
Didn't she let it slip... After she realized what she was saying, it was even more impossible for her to say anything more. "Why should A Lang ask me if he wants to know? My wife is the one whose heart was broken by A Lang!"
Xue Shao also fell silent. He didn't know what to say. What did Qingrong hide from him? And what did he do? All of this suddenly turned into mush in his brain, leaving him powerless and sleepy.
.The pressure of the past few days seemed to hit him like a flood, drowning him. He lost his sense of direction...For a moment, he didn't know whether what he did was right or wrong.
Yun Niang had left the study at some point, leaving him alone.
…
No matter what, he should go find her and ask her personally.
