lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the rebirth actress!
After leaving the Xu mansion, He Yan went back to the He family directly.
He Sui and He Yunsheng haven't returned yet, He Yan digs out a small box from the box under the table, with a few silver ingots scattered in it. Fuwang is a greedy for money, and would never dare to take such a big risk to do things for her if it hadn't had very big interests.
He Yan's eyes gradually became serious.
Xu Zhiheng was probably so frightened that he went to find Mother Qin's whereabouts so quickly. She had to find someone before Xu Zhiheng, and she would inevitably take care of it.
Looking at the poor few silver coins, He Yan sighed.
Is it really necessary to go to Letongzhuang again?
……
A gorgeous carriage stopped at the gate of Shijin Bo's Mansion, and the maid came in with the young lady.
The servants of the Chu family came out to greet you respectfully: "Miss Xu is here."
Xu Pingting walked into the Chu family's gate with his chin held up and the skirt in his hand.
When Xu Jingfu comes to Chu's house occasionally to look for Chu Zilan, Xu Pingting will follow along. Everyone in the Chu family knew that Xu Pingting was the jewel in Xu Jingfu's palm, and they did not dare to neglect it at all.
Mrs. Chu followed out, saw Xu Pingting, and smiled: "Ms. Xu is here. Zilan has not yet returned to the house. You can sit in the hall and have some hot tea first, and wait for Zilan. Come back."
Xu Pingting glanced at Madam Chu and snorted as a response.
She was already very rude in this behavior, but Madam Chu was not angry, still smiling, and went out and ordered the maids to make some snacks. Xu Pingting looked at her busy figure and cocked her mouth in satisfaction.
This wife of Uncle Shi Jin has a natural appearance, which is nothing at all. In the city of Shuojing, there are more and less beautiful women, but they have married the beautiful man Chu Linfeng. Comparing the two, naturally provokes people to talk and joke. Chu Linfeng was also a coveted beauty. He carried his concubine to the mansion with one room and one room. He carried 19 rooms in full, all of them were beautiful and beautiful. In this way, Mrs. Chu seemed even more pitiful.
However, no one dared to underestimate this Madame Chu. In this mansion, except for Chu Zhao, there is no concubine who can give birth to a child of Chu Linfeng. Xu Pingting also heard Xu Jingfu say that Chu Zhao's position in the mansion is embarrassing. Since she loves Chu Zhao, she wants to share the same enemy with Chu Zhao. Therefore, every time she comes to the Chu family, she has to make things difficult for Mrs. Chu's aunt. Vent their anger.
It’s the same today.
Mrs. Chu asked her maid to bring refreshments and tea. Chu Linfeng was not at the house at this time. Mrs. Chu smiled and said, "I haven't seen Miss Xu in some days. I am also very happy that Lan is married. In Shuojing, only Ms. Xu deserves Zilan's care."
Who doesn’t like to hear good things, especially the kind words that Chu Zilan loves her, Xu Pingting was also a little proud when she heard that, and said: "That's natural, how can the girl next to him be worthy of Brother Zilan."
Mrs. Chu smiled, took a sip of tea from one side, and her eyes fell on the maid Mo Mo behind Xu Pingting.
Xu Pingting noticed her gaze and said displeasedly, "What do you think my maid does?"
"I see, Miss Xu’s close-knit maid is really beautiful." Madam Chu stroked her sideburns and said unhurriedly: "After you get married with Zilan, the one next to Zilan Ying Xiang's birth was not bad, and when she went out, she was a beautiful family."
It's okay not to mention this. When Ying Xiang was mentioned, Xu Pingting's glamorous and compelling face immediately appeared in front of her eyes.
Moss is good, but it is far worse than Ying Xiang. Not to mention Moss, there are countless women in Shuojing, and there are very few who really want to compare with Ying Xiang.
Speaking of which, Xu Pingting suddenly realized that she saw Chu Zhao these days but not Ying Xiang.
"Where is that girl now?" Xu Pingting asked.
"Zilan didn't have to wait for her, and she would do some light work in the yard on weekdays." Madam Chu smiled and said: "Ms. Xu also knows that Zilan has a gentle temperament and a kind heart. She always treats women. He is very kind. Yingxiang is the maid he grew up with, she is more special than the others."
Mo Tai couldn't help but speak, "No matter how special, she is just a slave!"
Xu Pingting's hands are clenched into a fist, her nails are embedded in her palms, her face is extremely ugly.
Ying Xiang is a thorn in her heart. With such a Hu Meizi next to Chu Zhao, how can she be relieved? If it weren't for Chu Zhao's protection, Ying Xiang would have died a thousand times. When she was young, she once joked about selling Ying Xiangfa, and Chu Zilan, who had always been obedient to Xu Pingting, ignored her for the first time for half a month.
At that time, Xu Pingting understood that Chu Zhao wanted to protect Ying Xiang. If she used the same methods that she used to deal with the little lady who was interested in Chu Zhao to deal with Ying Xiang, Chu Zhao would never forgive her for the rest of her life.
Xu Pingting is not willing to let Chu Zhao and her be separated, nor does she want Chu Zhao to think that she is a vicious woman. This forbearance lasted for many years. However, she and Chu Zhao did not have a marriage contract before. Could it be that she will become Chu Zhao's wife in the future, yet she still has to tolerate a vixen dangling under her nose every day?
Ms. Chu looked at Xu Pingting’s face in full view, sighed, and said, “Miss Xu is still young and has never been a house in the mansion. But once she gets married, she will be a girl’s house with the past. The time is completely different. You see, there are all nineteen concubines in the Chu Mansion. Everyone treats me with respect. They seem not bad. Is it true that I have no grudges?"
"This woman, when you are not married, you can be jealous and make some minor tempers understandable, but if you are still married, others will say that you are jealous and rude and vain your duty."
Xu Pingting became angry when she heard her, "Who dares to say that I am jealous?"
"Even if I don't say it, I think so." Madam Chu smiled and said, "So, if Miss Xu has someone who doesn't look down on, she must be sent away before getting married, otherwise she will stay in the house. Many people here are small and affect the relationship between husband and wife. You are still young... if you hurt your feelings, it would be bad."
She is concerned about her words, and her smiling face is full. Of course, Xu Pingting knows that Madam Chu is instigating discord. What she said was what she cared about the most. You must know that to keep Yingxiang is to leave herself a thorn in her heart. If this thorn is not pulled out, she will not be happy in her life.
"What if the person I want to get rid of is protected by someone?" Xu Pingting asked.
Chu Linfeng looked for beautiful concubines in the nineteen rooms. Among them, smart or stupid, none of them could beat the plain-looking woman in front of him. To be honest, despite her identity, Xu Pingting still admires Mrs. Chu. If there is no means, how can she be able to hold the big Chu family?
"It's not easy." Mrs. Chu said: "I heard that the grandfather used to be the mentor to the prince, and the prince is a person who lacks smart and caring. If the prince asks for something, who would dare not follow What?"
Xu Pingting's eyes lit up.
She has forgotten this. What if she can't respond to incense, but the prince can. In the face of the prince, can Chu Zhao still refuse?
For a moment, Xu Pingting's heart was surging, and even Chu Zhao was reluctant to wait. She stood up, glanced at Madam Chu, and revealed the first smile of the day, "Thank you Madam Chu for answering me. There is still something to do today. , I'll come back another day." Leaving hurriedly with the maid.
When Xu Pingting left, the smile on Madam Chu's face faded. The woman next to her asked in a low voice: "Madam, His Royal Highness really wants to ask for Yingxiang, and the fourth son has nothing to do."
"Chu Zilan is used to knowing how to protect her life, even if she loves that girl again, she can't ruin her career for a cheap maid. I didn't expect him to deal with the prince."
"Then you..."
Mrs. Chu picked up the tea cup in front of her, took a sip, and then said after a while: "Ying Xiang was begged away by the prince. It was Xu Pingting's intention. I will naturally let Chu Zilan know about this. The little **** bears grudges very much, his face is not visible, and his heart may be too angry. I just want him to fight the Xu family."
"You know," Mrs. Chu sneered, "The ending of the fight with the Xu family is a dead word."
"I am waiting for the day he died."
……
He Yan didn't know what happened to the Chu family, and since the celebration banquet, she has never seen Chu Zhao again. I think I am probably busy with Xu Pingting's marriage, after all, the Xu family still values this daughter very much.
On this day, in the evening, He Yan went to pick up He Yun to give birth to school.
In the early winter of Shuojing, it was dark early, and there were not as many people on the road as in the past. Except for the vendors who sell hot soup, people still prefer to nest in warm rooms.
A group of young men walked out of Helu Academy. He Yunsheng was surrounded in the middle, unlike what he saw last time when He Yan came.
"Yun Sheng, in the future your brother-in-law will be the famous General Feng Yun, you are still good!"
"How can this be called Yunsheng's great? This is called Yunsheng's sister is great! Can your sister be like this? Can't do it!"
He Yan listened by the wall, and felt something was wrong. Why did it sound like he was scolding her when he was together?
He Yunsheng is now in the academy. Everyone is unwilling to take care of him. Once he has become a person who has to put up a cover, it is nothing more than a sister who is a female Hou and a brother-in-law of General Feng Yun. There are actually shameless people who have posted and said they are going to be a guest at his house, bah! He didn't even know that person.
It was so easy to pull the group of brown candies away. He Yunsheng carried the cloth bag on his way home. He was patted on the back inadvertently, and when he turned his head, He Yan stretched out his hand and rubbed his head. A handful, "You walk so fast, the game?"
He Yunsheng was taken aback, then looked around, "Why are you here?"
"We dealt with some official business today," He Yan said solemnly: "Go home and pass by your academy. I will wait for you to go back together."
"Don't come to the academy to look for me in the future," He Yunsheng walked forward sullenly, not in a good mood, "this group of lunatics saw you, I don’t know what they are going to be mad."
He Yan smiled, and guessed what happened to this young man, and said: "I see, we Yunsheng don't like to be in the limelight, and we won't come to you next time. Hey, I guess it's time for Dad to go home later. Green plum makes porridge at night, let’s buy some mutton buns and eat them back."
"Just know how to eat." He Yunsheng complained, and obediently followed He Yan to buy buns.
The mutton buns on the streets of Shuojing have thin skins and large fillings, and they are not expensive. The hot buns are packed in oiled paper bags, hugged in your arms and heated. He Yan held the paper bag and walked home with He Yunsheng, turned into an alley, and took out a bun to He Yunsheng, "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat a cushion for your stomach first."
He Yunsheng refused, "No, you want to grow into the glutinous rice **** of the next king's house?"
The glutinous rice ball is a pig raised by the Wang family next door and the fattest pig on this street. When I walked, I could only see a round and white ball, so it was obviously a behemoth, so I just married a cute "tangyuan" name.
He Yan glanced at him up and down, and took a bite for himself, "You know that you love beauty at such a young age. I told you that you are now when you are growing up. How can you grow fat without eating more? It’s okay to lose weight again, anyway, your appearance will not be worse in the future."
She didn’t know what she was talking about upside down. He Yun was angry and was about to teach her not to speak so casually. But when He Yan suddenly frowned, he quickly pulled him behind him. Before he had time to ask what happened, the half of the bun in He Yan's hand had already responded, and he accurately hit a certain shadow on the wall. The next moment, on all sides of the wall, several dark shadows emerged from nowhere. Lifting the knife, he rushed towards the two of their siblings.
"Yunsheng be careful!" He Yan pushed He Yunsheng to the corner of the alley with a palm. He Yunsheng was stunned by the sudden assassination. When he turned over and sat up, he had already seen He Yan fighting with the group of people in black. Their purpose is not him. He Yunsheng yelled: "Help, kill someone——"
However, this street is already sparsely populated. At night, there are not many people. Even if there are people, the cowardly dare not come here. He went to school without any weapons, even though he wanted to rush in to help with his bare hands, only halfway through the rush, he was slashed by a man in black, which shook him to the ground.
"Yunsheng!" He Yan was anxious. Bend to avoid the blade of the person in front of him, bent his elbow, and hit the person's abdomen. The person was knocked back. He Yan snatched his knife along the way, and knocked over the knives of several people sideways.
Her sword skills are good. Although these people are crowded, they are not so good in terms of their skills, but they fell under the sword of He Yan after a short while. He Yan didn't take their lives, and kicked the last person down. He Yunsheng hurried over, his eyes full of panic, "He Yan!"
"It's not big or small," He Yan wanted to make him relax, deliberately jokingly: "I'm going to be called my sister."
He Yunsheng didn't care, just grabbed He Yan's hand and looked up and down, "Are you not hurt? What happened to you just now? Why did you push me out."
"Your small body is not enough to block the knife." He Yan said: "Go and get the torch on the wall, let me ask a few words."
He Yunsheng was still a little nervous, He Yan urged him several times before going to the wall to get a torch. He Yan took the torch and walked to the nearest person and squatted down. At first glance, he was stunned. She didn't attack the vitals of these people, but the man's mouth was filthy, motionless, and he was dead.
She took the torch again to see the remaining people, all of them.
"What's going on?" He Yunsheng was very sensitive to murder because of Fan Cheng's incident. At this moment, the people lying on the ground lost their breath and panicked, "Why are these robbers dead? You know. ……"
"Poison was put in his mouth, and when he was caught, he bit the poison and committed suicide." He Yan stood up, his eyes brightened by the torch, "They are not bandits, they are dead men."
"The dead man?" He Yunsheng was stunned for a moment. "The dead man...how come to kill us...no, it's to kill you."
When he was pushed out by He Yan, those people didn't take the opportunity to kill him, but kept pestering He Yan. But He Yan had been in Liangzhou before, and it was not long before he returned to Shuojing, and there was no enemy. How could anyone deliberately want her life?
At this time, there were voices of people and horseshoes from outside, and along with the fire, a large group of people ran over with torches. He Yan raised his eyes and saw that it was actually the city guard. Thinking of He Yunsheng's big voice just now, he still agitated the people around him, so he went to look for the nearby city guard.
"What's the matter?" The officers and soldiers in the lead got off their horses, looked at the corpses all over the floor, and their expressions suddenly became solemn.
He Yunsheng was afraid that they would suspect He Yan and himself, so he hurriedly said: "Official man, we just walked here, these people jumped out to kill us, my sister fought with them, these people saw each other. But my sister swallowed the medicine and killed herself."
The young man is still a little nervous, but he is much better than when he was on the boat last time, at least he could finish a sentence completely.
"Sister?" The officers and soldiers looked at He Yan suspiciously. A woman, against so many men, is the man invincible? It sounds weird.
He Yan did not look flustered, only took out the seal from his arms, "Wu'an Hou Heyan."
When he heard this, the officer was shocked, but He Yunsheng believed 70% of what he said. Who doesn't know Wu'anhou? That confidante named Marquis, and the strange woman who was also the "intentional person" of the Youjun captain, is now spread across the capital in Manshuo.
"It was Wu'anhou." After confirming that the official seal is true, the head of the officers and soldiers is much more respectful. He only looks at the corpses all over the floor, still a little confused, "You said, these people are lying in ambush here to attack you. Want to take your life?"
He Yan nodded.
"Wu'anhou knows, who are these people?"
He Yan shook his head, "Because he is a dead man, he is the one who wants to take my life. It's just that I have no enemies in Shuojing, so I am also very confused."
"Report to the officer," she said.
He Yunsheng raised his head.
"This matter is not solved by me alone. There is someone at the feet of the emperor who dares to attack court officials. What if it is not me who is ambushed today but ordinary people without the power of a chicken? Perhaps, The city defense of Shuojing City may not have enough manpower, so it is negligent." The woman usually treats people and things in a kind manner, and when her smile is put away, she appears a bit cold and stern, "In my opinion, this matter should be handled by the government. . What do you mean, my lord?"
The officers and soldiers wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads and said with a smile: "Natural, natural."
