"You sneaked in just to tell me this?" Shui Lianyue looked at Chu Yihua in confusion. Although she didn't know him well, every man who came to her had a purpose. She would never Would you believe Chu Yihua? He is the descendant of the Chu family, one of the three great aristocratic families. With his intelligence, how could he not let go of his children's personal affairs?
What's more, they only met each other a few times.
The footsteps outside the door came and went, and Chu Yihua became even more anxious and worried. Who knew if someone would come in? He nodded, looked at Shui Lianyue solemnly with his narrow eyes and said: "Nangong Yu is not a good person. Those rumors outside are very detrimental to you. If you marry him, I'm afraid you won't end well in the future."
Shui Lianyue already knew this in her heart. When she heard what Chu Yihua said, she became somewhat interested and said lightly: "If he is not a good person, are you a good person? How did the rumors outside stir up the situation? Don't you know? If you really treat me, why don't you stop it?"
Chu Yihua was startled, then sighed softly and said: "She is the biological sister of General Shao Di. How can I, as a merchant, control her? What's more, she is famous for being arrogant and domineering in the capital. Who dares to say a word when he acts recklessly on a daily basis?" [
"Oh, your excuse is really lame. However, if you know it was Geng Shaohua, then I believe King Yu will also know. Since it is just a rumor, then why should I be afraid?" Shui Lianyue Swinging the wide sleeves of his wedding dress, his phoenix eyes glanced sharply at Chu Yihua, but when he saw his brows twinkling, he knew that he really had other motives, and he felt a chill in his heart.
"Why are you bothering? If he really cares about you, he will have a way to deal with it based on his relationship with General Shao Di. What good will it do to you if you allow rumors to spread throughout the capital? He has made it clear. I want to embarrass you." Chu Yihua felt Shui Lianyue's chill and shouted loudly regardless of his status or location.
Several maids who were cleaning the yard outside the house heard the sound and realized something was wrong. They hurriedly went up and knocked on the door, "Fourth Miss, Fourth Miss"?
"What's the matter?" Seeing this, Hongying quickly took over and asked.
Among the maids, there was a maid named Camellia, who was arranged by the eldest lady Meng Qiuhe to stay in the Lanxiang Pavilion when she came to the front yard. She felt more and more that something was wrong. She just heard a man's voice. Suddenly, she started knocking. The maid who opened the door walked in. The door to the inner room was closed tightly. She snorted coldly in her heart. There must be something fishy in the secret passage.
She took two steps forward, opened the door to the back room, and quickly scanned the room. Apart from Shui Lianyue and Hongying, there were no one else inside. Shui Lianyue was sitting dignifiedly by the bed, and Hongying was sitting there. There was a tassel on his side, and he didn't look unusual.
Camellia was stunned, and then looked around again. After confirming that there was nothing abnormal, her single eyelids were full of guilt. Could it be that she was really hallucinating? Did she hear wrongly?
She thought for a moment, bowed awkwardly, and was about to exit when Hongying frowned and shouted: "How dare you, who told you to break in? Which maid are you from? You are so helpless." "Rules, what kind of etiquette are they?"
Although Camellia felt guilty, she was not afraid because she was serving in the eldest lady's room. She slowly turned around, glared at Hongying, nodded towards Shui Lianyue and said: "This slave is serving in the eldest lady's room, just because I just heard a man's voice coming from the house, and I was worried about Miss Fourth, so I came in to take a look."
Hongying saw that she was neither arrogant nor humble, but showed a hint of disdain. Her anger suddenly ignited. She walked up to Camellia in two steps, grabbed her by the skirt of her clothes and carried her out the door. She fell to the ground and closed the door smoothly.
A murderous intent flashed in a pair of big, delicate eyes.
Camellia has never been treated like this before. She is the personal attendant in the eldest lady's room. When seeing her, any maid will nod and bow down. Even the eldest maid in the mansion has to give three cents of thin noodles. The red tassel is no more than that of a concubine. How dare to
Beat her?
"You are talking nonsense, and relying on the majesty of the eldest lady, you actually insulted the fourth lady. Do you know that today is her wedding day, and if your words are spread, your life will be at risk"?
Camellia stood up and was about to have a fit. When she heard Hongying's words, she not only showed no fear, but also smiled sarcastically and said, "Don't scare me. I just heard a man's voice in the room, and they heard it too.
You can ask them." Camellia pointed at the maids in the main hall and raised her chin proudly.
"Huh, I really don't want to scare you. Although the fourth lady is a concubine, she will be the princess after marrying into the palace today. Who can believe what you, a little maid, say? I'm afraid you got it out of the blue and deliberately wanted to humiliate the fourth lady.
What's more, how can King Yu allow a little maid like you to point fingers at the princess and spread rumors to cause trouble? Not to mention that you have insulted the reputation of the palace and ruined the prestige of the royal family. I'm afraid even the master can't tolerate you. Don't you believe me?
You can go out and give it a try, and as you saw just now, there is no one in the house."
Hongying's clever words made Camellia's face change color, and even the maids around her felt unsure. After all, when Camellia entered just now, they took a look and saw that there was no man in the house at all, and
What Hongying said makes sense. Today is the wedding of the Fourth Miss. If it were normal times, some people would still be convinced. But if someone brings it up now, I'm afraid they will only be accused of spreading rumors and causing trouble, and they will be humiliated.
The crime of the princess.
"Hmph, the eldest lady has ill intentions towards the fourth young lady. She actually used the maids around her to spread rumors and humiliate the princess. It is really a heinous crime. I will report it to the master later." Hongying saw hesitation on everyone's faces.
, then added another force, and as soon as he finished speaking, he walked out of the house.
Sure enough, Camellia was startled, staggered a few steps and stopped Hongying, blocking the door of the room, smiled flatteringly, held Hongying's arm affectionately and said: "Sister Hongying, look at my mouth, you sir have a lot of
, don’t be like me, hehe, today is the wedding of the fourth young lady, we slaves should not cause trouble to the master, how about just pretending that all this just didn’t happen?”
Hongying sneered, broke away Camellia's hand, and said angrily: "Didn't it happen? Huh, you said it lightly. What if you turned around and said it everywhere, it would still be the same"?
"How could it be? Today is the wedding day of the fourth young lady, and we are all people who understand the rules. You can get it, so why bother making a fuss? I am a slave, and I will die if I die, but if it gets publicized
Going out will not be good for the Fourth Miss." Camellia carefully tested Hongying with her words and looked at her expression. The reason why she was able to serve the eldest lady personally was because she had some ability.[
How could Hongying not hear it, and sneered: "Are there not enough rumors about the Fourth Miss outside? One more is not more, one less is not a lot, but you, now you have finally climbed into the main room, and you are so proud.
Wouldn't it be a pity if you accidentally lost your life for a non-existent thing?"
Other maids and servants who were busy in the yard saw Hongying and Camellia torn together, and they all came over.
After listening to Hongying's words, Camellia felt uncertain. Yes, she finally relied on her own intelligence to enter the main room to serve. For the maid, what an honor it was. At this time, it was her When the spring breeze is good, and the salary earned by waiting in the main house is not small, she can earn more than ten taels of silver every month. Previously, her eldest and second brothers relied on her to support them, but now they have married wives, and they still have She was arranged to work in the village of Shuifu, and then she made money from it, but it was all her own.
She rolled her eyes and suddenly saw the people watching at the door. She immediately shouted angrily: "You don't have to work anymore? What are you looking at? Go to work quickly. When the eldest lady comes later, you haven't cleaned up yet. Pay close attention to your work." Skin".
Her shouting made the maids and servants who were watching bewildered for a while, but they did not dare to say anything, and they all dispersed and went about their own work.
"Sister Hongying, we are all slaves and maids. There is no need to offend the kindness of our own people. I am a dog and can't spit out ivory. Don't argue with me if you have a lot. Chuntao, why don't you go and give it to me quickly?" Sister Hongying is going to make tea, come here, sister Hongying, you sit here." At this time, Camellia was like a pug, helping Hongying to the seat. Hongying didn't want to make the matter a big deal, so she just put it down as soon as she could. He sat on the chair with Camellia's support.
In the house, Shui Lianyue listened to the conversation between the two, and she praised Hongying a little more in her heart. Now she has become more clever, and Chu Yihua also jumped down from the beam, a few steps Walking to the bedside, with a bit of smile in her narrow eyes, she leaned close to Shui Lianyue and whispered: "You maid is really smart. I think everyone who was near the door could hear what I said just now." Here we are, the fuss she made after saying this actually subsided and she even made a fuss about someone else. It’s really interesting.”
Shui Lianyue gave him a sharp look through the bead curtain and said coldly in a low voice: "It seems like you did it on purpose just now"?
Chu Yihua shook his head suddenly, frowned slightly and said: "How is it possible? If it was intentional, I would have come in openly, so why bother dressing up like this?"
"Someone will be here in a moment. You can think of a way to leave quickly. Please don't make any more plans. If I can leave, of course no one can stop me. I have my own reasons for not leaving."
"If you have any difficulties, you can tell me and we can find a solution together."
After Shui Lianyue heard this, she immediately chuckled. When did she become so close to Chu Yihua? "You can't even calm down such a small matter as rumors, what else can you do?"
Chu Yihua was choked by Shui Lianyue's words and could not speak. He also understood that Shui Lianyue would not follow him. After thinking about it, he stood up slowly and sighed softly. Full of helplessness, he turned to look at Shui Lianyue and said: "Maybe in your eyes, I am close to you because of some interests, then you are wrong. From the first moment I saw you, I There is no room for other people in my heart. Anyone who can come into my eyes in this world cannot be erased in this life. However, I also have my regrets about many things. You just need to know that I am sincere to you and will never be hypocritical." .
While he was talking, Chu Yihua took out a small iron plate about the size of a thumb from his waist, with a small black tassel on it. It looked extremely delicate. He handed it to Shui Lianyue and said softly: "My father has already sent the head of the family to you." The position was passed on to me. This is a special iron plate made by the Chu family. There are only two in the world, and one is with my elder brother. If you have anything, just take it to the Chu family's shop. You will know what you need to say. Someone brings you to see me, so say goodbye and put it away, you will always need it in the future."
Shui Lianyue didn't want it at first, but when she thought about her future situation, it would inevitably be useful when she could use it. She didn't say anything and reached out to take it. Chu Yihua looked at her affectionately and sighed softly in his heart. In a flash, he took it. He jumped up to the rafters.
