Chapter 551 Too Cunning
"This time, as long as you go back safe and sound, you will have everything. After all, there are only a few capable people. Let's check one by one. And if the other party is unwilling, they will definitely send another person." Close the door, Qingwu He let out a sigh of relief, but the clothes on his body were almost wet.
Lin Huiru couldn't help but sneezed, which reminded Qingwu.
"Okay, it's getting late, go to sleep in another room, if you don't change clothes, your beautiful girl is going to catch a cold." Qingwu teased, and immediately sneezed, picked up the The burden on the bed pushed the door and went out.
"Sorry, I was negligent just now." Xu Ziqiao hurried over to help Lin Huiru wipe some rainwater from her hair, her face full of guilt.
Lin Huiru shook her head, and got up with Xu Ziqiao and went back to the room together, "I know you are also anxious to investigate this matter, but what he said is also reasonable, don't be too nervous, get through this storm, everything will be fine. It's all over." After the recent trip, she understood that only the capital city is the safest place.
When sleeping, Xu Ziqiao gently helped Lin Huiru cover her ears, while she closed her eyes and rested her mind to keep vigilant at all times. In the middle of the night when he got used to the sounds outside and fell asleep, a thought flashed in his mind. It made his whole body wake up and wake up.
Lin Huiru was also woken up by him, she raised her head and rubbed her sleepy eyes, "What's the matter?"
Xu Ziqiao rushed out without thinking about talking. He has felt something strange since he was sleeping, and now he finally understands what makes him feel wrong.
It's too quiet, it's obviously time to panic, and many people looked bad just now, but it's so quiet now, no matter how you think about it, it's strange.
Regardless of whether it was the first floor or the second floor, even the cabin with the most people was surprisingly quiet. There were even some water stains on the ground that flowed from the room, which should have happened because the windows were not closed properly.
Xu Ziqiao frowned and pushed the door in, but blocked Lin Huiru's eyes with her hand in the next moment. Lin Huiru frowned, and she could probably guess what happened without opening her mouth, "Is someone dead?"
"Well... let's go out first and then go to other places to see." Xu Ziqiao pulled Lin Huiru out of the cabin, and pushed open the door of his brother's room all the way. As expected, his face was black or his neck was blood red. look.
After some investigation, there were almost no survivors on the entire ship, and even many long-term workers and captains on the ship died. For a while, it seemed that they were the only living people left on the ship.
Xu Ziqiao protected Lin Huiru and went back upstairs. He called Qingwu and Bai Qianyi up, and after telling them what happened next, they both frowned.
"This man is too cunning. He wanted us to die, but he couldn't beat us and was injured, so he just killed a whole boatload of people to be buried with us." Lin Huiru's brows frowned quite a bit, this The method was cruel enough. Now that even the captain and the crew on the ship were dead, even if they survived the storm, they would never be able to sail back.
Qingwu clicked his tongue softly, "It's really not good to be with you, that person is also smart and enthusiastic if he can come up with such a way, now there is no need to look for that person, he may have jumped into the sea and committed suicide long ago, we still Think about it first, how to go back if you can survive." There
are indeed boats passing by this route every day, maybe they can wait here for a day or two before they can meet with the merchants, and it would be a good idea to take a boat there at that time. But as soon as Lin Huiru said, Qingwu smiled, "Don't be naive, since you want to kill people, how could you not think of what to do if someone comes again, maybe a hole has been opened under the cabin and is going to It's filled with water. There's also the anchor in the water, which will definitely kill us."
Lin Huiru's heart skipped a beat, and Bai Qianyi immediately got up and went down to check the situation. hole, but it's not a big problem, it should be because the hull is strong and there is no big gap, it should be possible to last for half a day." "It's been a long time... but it's not a big problem, at least it's still a day away.
" Xu Ziqiao stroked her chin. This person's actions were much more difficult than Tang Junyi's.
"I can't drive, I can't run, I can't run, it's better to write a suicide note and wait until I die, but in this case, the suicide note may not be seen by anyone." Qingwu said, with regret on his face, but nothing Fear and regret, more like a joke.
Xu Ziqiao said that he was not in such a good mood, "Stop joking, think of a way." "
I'm not joking, do you think there is any way to do it at this time? The wind and waves outside have no intention of stopping. I can send a message to Feiying, but now in the sea, there is still wind and waves. Tell me, what else can I do?" Don't reply angrily.
Seeing the tense atmosphere, Bai Qianyi let out a sigh of relief, "I'll go find something first to see if I can repair the hole, and if I can delay it for a while." After one night, the storm calmed down,
but outside The weather was still foggy, and even light rain fell. The strength of the four of them is simply not enough to pull up the anchor, and the visibility is now so low that only the boat can be seen clearly in front of them.
The only good news is that the hole under the boat has been patched up. Although it can't make no gaps at all, at least it can last for a while.
"Go on, I'm afraid the ships coming from behind will collide." Xu Ziqiao frowned and looked at the navigation route map in the cabin, and couldn't help but gasped.
Qingwu was also holding his arms beside him, and the sloppy look on his face had long since disappeared, "There are two possibilities, one is that they are safe and sound but passed us by, the other is that he can notice us, but It should be too late when we see us, if the two ships are Zhuang Xing, we will not be the only ones who will be killed by then, we must die, or more people will be buried with us." He was telling the truth
. Lin Huiru couldn't bear to sit on a chair and beat her head lightly with her hands. In this situation, not only could she not help, but she couldn't think of any other way. This feeling of powerlessness made her feel extremely depressed repressed. Moreover, all the food on board was poisoned, and their current rations were all sea fish, and the situation was extremely difficult.
"How about this, give me a hand, collect the corpses on the boat and throw them away, there are some unnecessary things, first to reduce the weight of the boat, and second, if there are corpses floating outside, maybe someone will notice this matter " Bai Qianyi, who had been silent all this time, spoke, although this method is not good, but...
Chapter 552
After thinking about it again and again, and this ship could have arrived in the capital in a day, if it didn't show up in two days, the capital would definitely become suspicious, and maybe it would send a ship to look for it at that time.
Looking at the empty boat, Lin Huiru couldn't help but sighed, "I hope this method can be used for swimming, otherwise we will have to find a way to rebuild the boat. If the boat sinks by then, we can still build a boat." The boat is waiting to be rescued."
"That's not necessary, there are usually small boats here for emergencies, such as the warehouse on the deck. Now that most of the hull has been submerged, I'm afraid it will come in handy Time." Qingwu looked into the distance, stretched out his hand and pointed, suddenly a little joy appeared on his face, "The fog is about to disperse, if we happen to be at the place closest to the land, we should be able to directly With land in sight, it shouldn't be difficult to take a boat back."
"The risk is too great, but that's the only way to go." Xu Ziqiao and Bai Qianyi went to pack up the boat, just waiting for an emergency.
By the time the next day was bright, the boat was almost sunk. They took three small boats separately and watched the behemoth sink completely.
I don't know if it's the blessing of the gods or what, the place where they are, happens to be able to see the land that is not too far away, after a whole day, it is considered safe to land on the shore, and it is only a hundred miles away from the capital, almost It can be said that it is close at hand. If you buy a horse, you can go back to Xiangfu in a day.
Hot water, delicious food, warm quilt... Just thinking about these, Lin Huiru feels nostalgic.
"The situation is not optimistic. Tang Junyi seems to be determined to target us. There are heavily guarded people outside. I'm afraid how to return to the capital is still a problem." Bai Qianyi closed the window of the wing room and sat down without any appetite.
Lin Huiru and Xu Ziqiao also frowned, and now Tang Junyi was biting like a mangy dog, very difficult to deal with, "If I remember correctly, the prefect here should also belong to him, and the situation is really not good for us. ."
"It's really troublesome. If you take advantage of your status at this time, it's slapping His Majesty in the face. Why don't you figure out a way for yourself. I have to go back first, or I'll be in the gang." It's not unreasonable, after all, the Proton Mansion is still a very eye-catching place, if someone sees through the disguise of his subordinates, then things will probably be even more troublesome.
Xu Ziqiao let out a long breath, "Okay, by the way, please send a letter to His Majesty for me, Your Majesty already knows that you are cooperating with me, I don't need anything else, just make a fake secret order Alright."
"Understood, it shouldn't be too late, I'll go first, you can figure out your own way, see you in the capital." Qingwu waved his hand, put on a disguise and set off. People like him who are good at lightness skills don't need to be afraid of anything, even if the matter is discovered, the officers and soldiers guarding the city may not be able to catch up with him.
The three of them are different. Although Bai Qianyi can do it, as Lin Huiru's guard, he can't run away by himself.
On the first night, they also settled down in this restaurant, and finally got a bed that wouldn't shake. Lin Huiru was a little uncomfortable at first, but after falling asleep, this became the best sleep in the past few days. The most comfortable sleep ever.
She was woken up the next day, there was a noise outside for some unknown reason, and the shrew's cursing voice made her almost have the urge to pour cold water from upstairs. She opened the window sleepily, and looked down resentfully.
It was a carriage parked on the street below them. The carriage did not look particularly luxurious nor could it be afforded by small households. In front of the carriage stood an old lady in a flowered jacket. , Auntie was still holding a basket in her arms, and a lot of melons, fruits and vegetables were scattered on the ground around her, and it seemed that there must have been a collision.
"How rich are you?! Not only did you ruin my food, but you almost ran over me! You just hid in the carriage and didn't even say an apology!?" Not like a nice guy.
The coachman was a middle-aged man, and he seemed to have the demeanor of a wealthy family, but even so, his complexion was not very good-looking, "You can't walk and watch the road and still play here? You can take the five taels of silver if you want. Don't just run into our master here."
People on the street were talking about this matter.
"Five taels of silver is enough for her to buy a lot of food. Why is she not satisfied? Every time I see her bargaining with people here, she has to get back every penny. , This bitch is too thick-skinned."
"Is how much money is so important? I almost ran into someone and gave it five taels of silver? That's how noble you are."
Lin Huiru was in no mood to read on, she Just as he was about to close the window, he saw a woman getting out of the carriage. The clothes on the woman were either rich or expensive. If it was an official, it had to be at least the clothes of a servant of an official's family above the third rank.
The maid showed disgust on her face, "What else do you want?"
This gave the aunt a chance to play, she threw the basket net and threw it, and glared at the maid with her hips on her hips, "What do I want? You almost hit me!" When it comes to me, is there any law?! Just five taels of silver that you sent for beggars? At least twenty taels of silver, and your master has to apologize to me personally!" Looking at the woman's vexatious
appearance , Lin Huiru couldn't help but sneer, if the person in the car really came down to apologize, I'm afraid this woman's guts would be frightened.
As for Wang Fa... It's unreasonable to say that her father in the carriage is Wang Fa.
That's right, the person sitting in the carriage was none other than Princess Anning. If she hadn't glanced at the maid just now, Lin Huiru would not have recognized her. Although she didn't know why Princess Anning came here, this gave her a good chance.
"Qingyue!" Lin Huiru called the maid in her arms.
The servant girl's ears are also very sensitive. After all, the people around Princess Anning are all skilled in kung fu, and they must have the opportunity to protect their master on weekdays. What's more, Princess Anning is Qianyuan's treasure. Is there something wrong?
Qingyue raised her head in doubt, her face was startled when she saw Lin Huiru, and she didn't have time to talk to the woman who scolded the street, so she hurried back to the carriage and told Princess Anning about it.
Princess Anning, who was originally in the carriage, could no longer control her emotions, but this time she came to visit the elders, so she originally wanted to keep a low profile.
After hearing that Lin Huiru was here, she also lifted the curtain of the carriage to confirm it with her own eyes, and the joy on her face was even more indescribable.
Chapter 553 What a coincidence
When she saw Lin Huiru, Princess Anning immediately put on a happy smile on her face. She hurriedly reached out her hand to say hello, but was interrupted by a gesture from Lin Huiru. Lin Huiru originally wanted her to come up and speak, but the next moment...
the sound of horseshoes sounded, and the sound of footsteps approached closely, and Lin Huiru recognized them at that time. I don't know why, Princess Anning has been stalemate with people here for a long time, and this group of royal guards has only rushed over now. If Qian Yuan finds out, it will be worth losing his head.
"How courageous! How dare you obstruct the carriage of Her Majesty the Princess, someone! Grab it!" The guard on the horse had a serious face, as if the word "serious" was written on his face. When he saw this scene, his expression It was even uglier, as soon as he waved his hand, two soldiers in armor immediately went to arrest the woman making trouble, one on the left and one on the right.
The domineering woman just now was almost out of breath now, her face was pale and her lips were trembling, and she never thought that the person she blackmailed was actually a princess!
"You want Her Royal Highness to make an apology, what are you?" The other woman who came to Shanshan gave the woman a fierce look, and then knelt down in front of the carriage. "Princess, forgive me. This place is no better than the capital city. You will inevitably be bumped into when you go out by yourself. The old lady specially sent an old slave to pick you up." After hearing this,
Lin Huiru wiped her face immediately. I knew that no matter where she was, Princess Anning was a master who would sneak out to have fun.
But no matter what, it should be that the woman crossed the road and made a mistake in the small question. It was a very reasonable thing, but from the mouth of this woman, it became Princess Anning who was bullying others. It is the wrong attitude of others.
"Grass people have eyes that don't know Mount Tai! Princess, spare my life! Princess, please! I have two children below me who need milk! Princess, spare my life!" The woman kneeling down cried with snot and tears, the words she said just now Let her not even dare to think about it, now she would rather be hit by Princess An Ning's carriage just now, and it would be better if she was hit to death.
Princess An Ning sighed in the carriage, she didn't care about this woman now, she just wanted to see Lin Huiru. But she was still waiting for her to speak outside, so she could only clear her throat and said lazily, "Okay, don't argue with him, it's not easy to make a living by yourself, I'm hungry, I'll go back after eating, right here The restaurant next door."
The old woman nodded, agreed with a fawning smile, and then ordered people to put on a big show, and even almost emptied the restaurant. Just when the guards were going to chase Lin Huiru who was sitting there drinking tea leisurely, Princess Anning ran over and pushed him away, and then she was greeted with a bear hug, "Miss Xiaoru, where have you been all this time?" Ah, I miss me so much."
Lin Huiru spilled all the water in her cup, but fortunately she didn't burn anyone, she was a little helpless, "Of course I have something to do, I can't fight like you. "As she said, she lowered her voice again, "I have encountered something, don't reveal my identity."
Princess Anning was stunned for a moment, then she let Lin Huiru away and nodded. At this time, that annoying woman was also chasing after her. After all, she was old, and she was already panting all the way.
She held on to the door frame, out of breath, and said, "Your Highness, why did you come here..." As she spoke, she saw Lin Huiru from the corner of her eye, and her face turned pale, "What should you do? Why? Why are there still people waiting here!? How courageous! Why don't you kneel down when you see Her Highness the Princess!?" After
Lin Huiru hadn't spoken, Princess Anning couldn't hold back, " Be respectful to me! When will Miss Xiaoru get someone like you to scold her!?" She wanted to say something, but Lin Huiru pulled her sleeves, so she could only give her a glare. "You go out, just leave my bodyguard here, I want to eat here."
The mother-in-law's complexion changed, a little aggrieved, "Princess, let the old slave stay here to take care of you."
"Do you think I Do you look like a cripple? Even if someone assassinates me, you won't be able to block the knife in time." Princess An Ning couldn't help but rolled her eyes and sneered coldly. She couldn't get rid of this annoying woman, but fortunately, the guards chased him away in time. gone.
Princess Anning walked beside Lin Huiru, and her maid Qingyue also bowed respectfully to Lin Huiru. After all, she was not in the capital, and the person who knew Lin Huiru was Princess Anning and her maid. Several personal guards left.
"Why are you here?" Almost at the same time, the two asked in unison.
After looking at each other, both of them were taken aback, and Princess Anning giggled, "Go farther outside, I want to talk to Miss Xiaoru." The
guards outside are all good people, they know Lin Huiru's identity, so she put her mind at ease and took away the mother-in-law who had always wanted to listen to the corner. Qingyue was sent out to tell others not to reveal Lin Huiru's identity. When there were only two people left in the room , It's easy to talk.
"Isn't that what the father meant? Didn't a great general die in battle before the court? The general and my father were friends of eight worshippers. Now there is only an old mother and his wife and adopted daughter left in his family. The father asked me to come Visit that old lady, staying in their mansion was too boring so I ran out, fortunately I came out to play." Princess An Ning poured a cup of tea to moisten her throat, and looked at Lin Huiru after speaking .
Because the recent incidents are really complicated, Lin Huiru can only sigh, "I'm afraid it's a long story, anyway, I can't show my face and reveal my identity now, Xu Ziqiao and I are hiding our identities." Yes, you should also know His Majesty's order, the officials here are colluding with others to hunt us down, and now it's just right to meet you, so we can find a way to return to the capital." Princess An Ning opened her eyes wide after hearing this, looking a little
excited , "Have you been hunted down? How can I help you? But I don't have many people with me." "Don't get
excited, let us hide in the carriage and go back together when you go back. When will you go back?" ?" Lin Huiru asked.
Princess An Ning seemed a little disappointed. She propped her chin up, thinking that this time there would be something exciting, "I may have to wait another three days. Isn't it almost Qingming? Xing needs to be with you before going back after Qingming. How about Come live with Yu Taijun, it's safe there, and Yu Taijun treated me well when I was young, and he was very kind."
Chapter 554: Yu Taijun
"Let's wait until Xu Ziqiao and the others come back to discuss this. After all, we are always inconvenient..." Before Lin Huiru finished speaking, he heard the sound of the window beside him.
Hearing this, Princess Anning's eyes lit up again, "You all came out to do errands? No wonder I didn't see that guard when I went to your place. Is he here?" Lin Huiru was a little speechless, and sure enough, this little girl
is She was thinking, "He just went back yesterday..."
The sound of the window made her very concerned. She turned her head and saw Bai Qianyi's face outside the window for some reason. She was startled.
"There are officers and soldiers outside, and we're still wondering if something happened." After seeing Princess Anning, Bai Qianyi breathed a sigh of relief, and after looking back at his life, he saw Xu Ziqiao come in through the window first.
"Princess." Xu Ziqiao nodded politely, with some confusion on her face, "Why did you two get together?"
Lin Huiru smiled. Thinking about it carefully, she also thought it was a coincidence, "You went out this morning Yes, I was woken up by the sound of cursing in the street, and I saw the princess who was blocked by a woman downstairs, and then I asked her to come up, where are you going?" "Go out to find out the
news and route, I received a message... He has already sent people to arrest him from the north and the south, and we have to go back to the capital quickly." Seeing that Princess Anning was here, Xu Ziqiao spoke in a darker tone, because the situation was serious, and he wanted to come back and call Lin Huiru to come back overnight Beijing.
"But... I originally wanted to borrow Tangtang's carriage to go back together, but she won't be able to set off until after Qingming." Lin Huiru frowned.
Xu Ziqiao didn't say anything, just frowned and thought for a moment, "How about this, Qianyi stays here to protect you, I'll go back and deal with things first, you don't know martial arts, so follow the princess and wait until after Qingming."
"But...forget it, you can take Qian Yi with you, his martial arts are better than yours, the two of you can figure out what to do, and there are Tangtang's personal guards here, come pick me up after you go back That's right." After Lin Huiru finished speaking, Princess Anning's expression relaxed.
"Okay, then there is Her Royal Highness, Princess Lao, without further ado, we are leaving now." Xu Ziqiao finished speaking in a hurry, reluctant to look at Lin Huiru in Ya'an, she bowed her head and kissed Lin Huiru's forehead lightly, and then said goodbye to Lin Huiru Bai Qianyi picked up his things and walked out from behind the window.
The scene just now made Princess Anning blush, "Miss Xiaoru... then you can come and live with me in the He Mansion. If you can't reveal your identity, I will say you are my friend." "That's fine, but the old lady just
now Son... what she said is not good for you, what about Madam Zhou and the others?" Lin Huiru asked with a frown.
Speaking of this, Princess An Ning sighed, her face full of helplessness, "This is the woman in Yu's mansion, she has been flattering and flattering since I came here, but it was arranged by the Taijun, and I can't refuse , what the words imply is that you want to go back to the capital with me, so you are here to show your courtesy."
Lin Huiru frowned, "This kind of arrogant and domineering person is not needed, if you can push it away, push it away, it's nothing to you if you keep it." The good thing is that what you said outside today, I am afraid that you are justified, and others will have the impression of being arrogant and domineering." "I know, but she is so annoying, she kneels and
howls every now and then, thinking Let's just get through these few days." Princess Anning sighed, and after talking here, their dishes were almost ready.
These dishes were ordered by the old lady. There were nearly dozens of dishes on the table, how could the two of them finish them all? This really seems a bit extravagant.
When following Princess Anning back to He's Mansion, Lin Huiru kept noticing that the woman's face was weird, but because Princess Anning was there, her expression did not dare to express her disdain too clearly.
This He mansion looks magnificent from the outside, and it can be owned by people with great military exploits. Now there are only three people living in it, and it looks extraordinarily empty.
As Princess Anning said, Taijun Yu was very kind. Seeing that Lin Huiru didn't ask her identity, she said directly, "This girl is a friend of the princess, right? It looks like the baby is really fresh, and the weather outside is not so good." It's cold, why are you wearing so thin?"
Lin Huiru was still not used to it, so she smiled and said politely, "Thank you for your compliment. I just came back from the south and I didn't change my clothes in time. Thank you for your concern." "Madam, Miss Xiaoru is
my friend in the capital. " , I met here by coincidence, I think it would be boring if I go back by myself, so I want Miss Xiaoru to stay here for a few days, and go back with me after Qingming." Princess Anning stepped forward to relieve Lin Hui Such as embarrassment, very well-behaved when speaking.
Yu Taijun nodded, with a smile on his face, "Okay, the princess is here, treat this place as your own home, if you want to invite friends to play, you don't have to be polite, just come, this time The house is built big, but the population is not prosperous, hey..."
It was a bitter thing to say, Lin Huiru guessed that Yu Taijun should also like to be lively, and the old people like children.
Arriving at the arranged residence, Lin Huiru couldn't help but sigh that although the place is large, the decoration is very simple and elegant. There is a faint woody fragrance in the room, and there is no dust. It looks like a room that is often cleaned but has not been lived in much.
Yu Taijun also sent someone to bring two sets of clothes to Lin Huiru, both brand new and unworn, with pink and tender patterns and top-grade materials.
Looking at these two pieces of clothing, Princess An Ning suddenly sighed, "Good people don't get rewarded. The general made great military achievements but couldn't have any children. His wife was also a childhood sweetheart when he was young. The old lady likes little girls, so the general adopted one." The widows of his subordinates came back to take care of them. After the death of the general, the pension was quite large, but the expenses of the three of them were very small. The old lady was usually very simple, but she prepared a lot of clothes for Miss He. I can't wear it."
Lin Huiru was also very emotional when she heard it, and was about to speak when someone knocked on the door.
Opening the door, it was that Miss He, He Zhihua, standing outside. She looked at Princess Anning, and then at Lin Huiru. The whole body of Eastern Europe revealed a well-educated temperament, and she saluted, "I have seen Your Highness, Grandma asked me to say hello to you, and send some gifts by the way." Eat."
He Zhihua's speaking voice is also very gentle. It can be seen that he has been well-bred since childhood, and the spring-like temperament on his body makes people feel very comfortable. The servants came in from the side and brought in a lot of fruits, all of which were relatively rare from the south.
Lin Huiru guessed that Qianyuan took special care of the old lady, and she should have sent someone from the south specially.
Chapter 555
"Thank you, Ms. He, I'm sorry for Miss He's trip." Lin Huiru thought for a while, and then saluted.
He Zhihua also returned a gift. She is a smart person. Although Lin Huiru only said that she was a friend of Princess Anning, if she can be friends with Princess Anning, she must not be a small person.
But Lin Huiru and Princess Anning are both lively, but He Zhihua is weak and weak. The three of them must not be able to play together. Lin Huiru was thinking about how to protect her body, but He Zhihua said goodbye and left.
The He family is so big, but there are not many servants. Staying here only makes people feel very clean, and even Lin Huiru finds it difficult to adapt, as does Princess Anning. The two of them didn't look like they were leaning together, and there were a lot of fruit peels scattered on the table next to them.
"Now I finally understand why you always sneak out." Lin Huiru sighed and looked up at the ceiling.
Princess An Ning yawned, "But I found out after I went out that there doesn't seem to be much fun here. It's better in the capital, and you can go to the snack street to eat and shop, but here... I can only go to those places at most. Aunts, let's buy vegetables."
Lin Huiru smiled wryly, and finally survived such a boring life for a day and a night, just when Lin Huiru was scratching her head and couldn't stay any longer, the door of the room was pushed open by Princess Anning, and she There was a spoon in his mouth.
"Eh? Miss Ru, are you eating so fast?" Princess Anning looked at the empty table with some doubts.
Lin Huiru was puzzled by his question, "What to eat? Haven't you eaten for several hours?" "No, don't you have supper? Just now Miss He sent someone
to I sent red bean glutinous rice balls, didn't I send them to you?" Princess An Ning was a little puzzled, after all, the things that were given to the two of them during this period were each one, and no one would be missing.
"It's okay, maybe I forgot, I don't like glutinous rice balls too much." As she spoke, Lin Huiru felt a figure flash by the window, and she frowned, "Who's there?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she chased after her. As the sound of footsteps became smaller and smaller, the people outside had already disappeared.
"What's the matter?" Princess Anning chased after her, her face full of doubts.
Lin Huiru frowned, thought for a while and pulled out a hairpin from Princess Anning's head, then went back to the room and used the silver hairpin to poke into the glutinous rice balls. As expected, one end of the hairpin suddenly turned black, which startled Princess Anning, "This glutinous rice ball is poisonous?!" "
Well, someone should have been watching us after you came here just now. The He family is not simple..." Lin Huiru squinted her eyes, unable to understand why these people wanted to attack Princess Anning.
Princess An Ning threw away all the spoons, and sat next to her frowning, "Why..." "Madam, it
shouldn't be done by the old lady. The old lady is old, and there is no reason to kill you. The He family is in charge of the dim sum." Who is it?" The first person in Lin Huiru's mind was the old woman.
Princess An Ning held her chin, "The things seem to be sent by Miss He's side. Could it be..." "
In short, it's better not to let the old lady know about this matter, otherwise if you get angry in a hurry, you will be dragged down." The body is in trouble. Without further ado, let's go directly to Miss He's." After speaking, Lin Huiru stood up directly, and went to the gate of He Zhihua's courtyard with Princess Anning.
As soon as they entered, the face of the maid guarding the door changed, which made Lin Huiru sure that there was something wrong with this person, "I don't know if Miss He is asleep, we have something to see Miss He." The maid faltered
, "No... no, Miss is already asleep. If you two have anything to do, why not come back tomorrow." As soon as the words finished, the sound of something falling to the ground sounded from inside the room.
Now Lin Huiru didn't care about the maid outside, and walked directly into the room forcibly, and couldn't help being shocked after seeing the scene in the room.
He Zhihua hung a white silk on the beam of the house, and put his head in it, and now he was struggling there with his face flushed, and the sound just now was the sound of a stool being kicked down. Fortunately, Lin Huiru had quick eyesight and quick hands, so she grabbed the scissors at the side and stepped on the stool to cut off the white silk.
Although He Zhihua fell down like this, she managed to save her life. Her face gradually calmed down, and she was coughing violently all the time. After coughing, she started to cry. The maid next to her also gave them a resentful look. Then hugged He Zhihua and cried on the ground together, "Miss, why are you so stupid, if you die, what will you do with your servant..." Princess Anning pulled
Lin Huiru's cuff, her face full of doubts "What are they singing?"
Lin Huiru shook her head and shrugged her shoulders, but the coldness on her face did not diminish. It seemed that the matter was obvious. She went to close the door and pulled the door open again. He got a stool and sat down, "Ms. He is really a real person who doesn't show her face. Now that she is poisoned, she wants to seek death first, which song is she singing? Suicide in fear of crime?" She already had the answer in her heart, but she always
needed Making sure.
He Zhihua was still crying, slumped on the ground without moving, as if he was about to cry himself to death.
Lin Huiru was a little helpless, "What's the use of crying? I'll give you two choices, either let us speak up tonight, or let's report to the police, you choose one." "No...don't
! "As soon as He Zhihua heard the word 'report to the official', he became excited again, knelt down and kowtowed to Lin Huiru and Princess Anning together with the maid, "I beg you, don't report to the official." The
maid Nodded, "Please, since you saved Miss, if you report to the official to let others know, how can Miss survive." Hearing what she said,
Lin Huiru couldn't help sneering, "Just now I was outside The one who eavesdropped is you, you can't live, so the princess deserves to die? Say, why did you poison the glutinous rice balls?"
He Zhihua sniffed, and looked at her pitifully, "I regretted it after I sent it over, so I thought I would die too, now everyone is fine, you can do whatever you want, I just ask you not to Report to the officer, don't tell grandma about this."
"I don't ask the second time, why did you attack the princess? The princess should have no grievances with you, right?" Lin Huiru asked coldly. After saying a word, Princess Anning next to her also nodded.
"Although we haven't seen much, I shouldn't have offended you. Why did you want my life? If you don't like me here, I'll leave the day after tomorrow." Princess An Ning frowned, feeling very angry in her heart. where to come.
Chapter 556 Confession
"No, our He family is sparsely populated, and there are no people all year round, and my father is dead, and there are even fewer people in the mansion who are willing to come and walk around. Grandma will be happy if someone from the family comes, so... Your Royal Highness, I'm sorry, I Uno made a big mistake on the spur of the moment, and I hope that the princess will have a lot, so I can punish me in any way, but please don't tell my grandma." He Zhihua knelt on the ground and sobbed.
"Grandma is getting old, so she will definitely get angry because of this matter."
Lin Huiru sighed, her brows still tightly knit. Good at disguising, who knows whether this He Zhihua is really caring for his grandma or playing the family card here.
"Needless to say, I just want to ask you now, why did you poison?" Lin Huiru frowned and asked coldly.
He Zhihua's body stiffened for a moment, biting his lower lip, his face was pale, and he didn't want to say anything, but the maid next to him was so anxious that she hurriedly knelt and crawled in front of He Zhihua, "This is what I want, let me tell you Let's go."
A master and servant love each other deeply, but it doesn't make any difference, Lin Huiru nodded, "Then tell me, I'll listen."
The maid looked at He Zhihua worriedly, then bowed her head and said, "Today The servant girl went to deliver things to the old lady, and heard that the old lady was worried about the marriage of Her Highness the Princess, and wanted to find a good marriage for the Princess, but the person she fell in love with was the son of General Zhenyuan. Princess, but Mr. Shen has already promised to marry the young lady, so..." "
So, for the happiness of your young lady, you want to ruin the princess's life?" Lin Huiru's voice became colder, and her eyes glowed Chill, Princess Anning would not agree to this kind of thing, but the master and servant are in such a hurry?
"Princess, this matter was planned by the servant alone. The young lady was brought back by the master since she was a child. If she is not protected by the old lady, no one will pay attention to the young lady. If she loses another good marriage, the rest of the young lady's life will be ruined." It's over!" After the maid finished speaking, she began to kowtow on the ground one after another.
Lin Huiru ignored her and just looked at He Zhihua, "Is what she said true? Then this matter must have been approved by you, right? Or did you commit suicide in fear of crime?" He Zhihua
sucked She sniffed her nose, and her eyes were already red and swollen with bloodshot eyes from crying, but even so, it was difficult to make people feel a little sympathy from the perspective of the victim, "I'm sorry, I was impulsive, but it was too late to calm down. That's why I want to apologize with death..."
After hearing what she said, Lin Huiru didn't say a word. After all, this matter is not a conspiracy theory at all, and it can't be ruled out that He Zhihua staged a play after hearing them maliciously. Although he knew It is indeed a tragic thing for my childhood sweetheart to marry someone else, but before the matter is settled, it is too impulsive to be so eager to kill.
"I haven't said whether I will agree or not. I don't want to marry, and if I want to marry, I won't marry someone I don't know at all." Princess Anning also started to jump, she was completely confused about this kind of thing. In the dark, and if it wasn't for Lin Huiru, she would almost die today.
He Zhihua's lower lip was almost bitten, and he kept shaking his head, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I know that I can't do anything to undo it, but please don't tell grandma, I don't care about anything else. You can agree."
"You almost killed someone, what's the use of what I want you to promise? We don't want the old lady to have any mistakes, let's take a good rest today, I will go back and discuss with the princess, and come back tomorrow You." Lin Huiru's expression was a bit complicated, and it was really hard to conclude this matter.
"How dare you bother the princess, I'll go back tomorrow and wait for nothing, thank you two for not telling grandma. Zhihua thank you here." He Zhihua kowtowed again as he spoke.
Back in the room, the atmosphere between Lin Huiru and Princess Anning was also somewhat depressed. Lin Huiru looked at the frowning Princess Anning, and sighed softly, "What do you think?"
"Miss Xiaoru, what about you? I don't think she's a bad person, and if this matter is mentioned, it will definitely make a big fuss. What's more, I didn't eat it. Although it is still thanks to you, if I say it, I might as well forgive you." This time, Miss Xiaoru, will you be angry?" With that said, Princess Anning gave Lin Huiru a cautious look.
This girl is quick-tempered but kind-hearted, Lin Huiru nodded, and the parties agreed, so why should she disagree, "Okay, but let her keep some excuses, as long as she doesn't do it again in the future, then we You will be able to live in peace."
Princess Anning nodded repeatedly after hearing this, with obvious admiration on her face, "As expected of Miss Xiaoru, she is so considerate in doing things." "Come on, it's
fortunate that you came to me, otherwise now you I'm already lying on the ground and I'm lifeless." Lin Huiru couldn't help rolling her eyes.
Princess Anning stuck out her tongue and smiled embarrassedly. At this moment when she should have lingering fears, her stomach growled, "Miss Xiaoru... I'm hungry, but I don't trust them to send you a meal." Why don't you borrow the kitchen and cook me something delicious..."
Lin Huiru was at a loss for words, but after such a fuss, she was also a little hungry, so she could only sigh helplessly. She agreed in a tone of voice, "Okay, okay, I'll just go, you can go with me, the two of you can be companions." After hearing this, Princess An Ning nodded again and again, almost growing a
tail and wagging happily, "Okay, Miss Xiaoru, you are the best!"
...
The next day, He Zhihua didn't come too early, and came at the time when Princess Anning and Lin Huiru got up. There is still a circle of black and blue under it, and it looks like it hasn't slept all night. She entered the door cautiously, and the maid also came in with her head full of bruises and holding a big box.
As soon as He Zhihua came in, he knelt on the ground, "Zhihua came to plead
guilty, I wonder what the princess is thinking?" Sign and draw a pledge to ensure that you will not do anything wrong in the future." Lin Huiru's face was serious, and seeing He Zhihua like this, her doubts disappeared a lot.
"Well, that's it, but I won't threaten you with it, but at least, I can't pretend that this incident never happened." Princess Anning nodded in agreement.
Chapter 557 Not Like a Bad Guy
Just hearing about this incident and suppressing it like this, the big stone in He Zhihua's heart fell to the ground, and her eyes lit up a little, and she kowtowed a few more times, "Thank you princess for your kindness, thank you Miss Lin." "
Okay Now, don't kneel down, get up and go back to rest." Seeing her ugly face, Princess Anning couldn't bear it.
He Zhihua stood up with the help of the maid, and then opened the box on the side, which was nothing but fine jade or gold and silver jewelry, "This is all my things, I know it may be for These are nothing to the princess, but I don't know what to give to the others. Time is running out and I haven't had time to take them to the pawn shop. Silver as compensation."
Seeing the amount of jewelry in it, Lin Huiru couldn't help being a little astonished, not only was there a lot, but they were all of good quality, even if Princess Anning was a princess, everything would not be so luxurious, this The jewelry inside is already top-grade, and Yu Taijun is enough to spoil this granddaughter.
"Forget it, take it back, I'm not short of these jewelry and silver." Princess Anning really didn't pay attention to these things.
Lin Huiru supported her chin and added, "The old lady gave you such a good thing, which proves that she puts you in the palm of her hand and loves you. If you want to marry that Mr. Shen, just say so." , why do such outrageous things, and don't say these things are gone, even if you two are getting better, it is easy for the old lady to see the problem, go back and rest." What the two of them said made He Zhihua a little
afraid I believe it, but she was too embarrassed to take it back, so she picked out a pair of the best-looking bracelets and handed them over, "This pair of bracelets is originally Jingdang bracelets, and they are all made of rare seven-color glazed opals. There are seven extremely bright colors and beautiful cat eyes in the sun, I have been reluctant to wear them, these two days I think this pair of bracelets are very suitable for the two of you, please do not dislike the princess and Miss Lin."
Opals of such fineness are indeed rare, and Princess Anning's eyes lighted up, and she lowered her voice and said in Lin Huiru's ear, "Why don't you accept it? I also have a set like this, but this pair, we just happen to be alone One, it looks good on your hand."
Lin Huiru shrugged, as if she was casual with you, but she was actually a little tempted in her heart.
Seeing Princess Anning take it, He Zhi also felt a little relieved on the screen, "Thank you Princess and Ms. Lin for your great kindness. I can't repay you for the kindness you have spared me. If there is anything you can use Zhihua in the future, Just open your mouth."
"Okay, go back and rest." Lin Huiru urged, if she didn't speak, He Zhihua might faint in front of the two of them.
However, Princess Anning's status is always higher than hers, so He Zhihua took a cautious look at Princess Anning, and left after getting permission.
"Come on, little sister, you are so white, you must look good." Princess An Ning put one on Lin Huiru and herself without saying a word, and then exclaimed, "It really looks good, mine is just A necklace and a pair of pendants, plus a hairpin and two pairs of hairpins, if they are paired with a bracelet, it will be complete."
Lin Huiru was a little dumbfounded, and after admiring the beauty of the bracelet, she took it off again. "After all, it's someone else's favorite. It's not good to wear it swaggeringly, but if you go out with something, you're not afraid of being stared at.
" I don't know, it's the clothes and jewelry combined, it's absolutely inconvenient for me to run." Princess An Ning laughed and continued the joke, and she also took it off and told Qingyue to put it away.
Seeing that it is the last day of Qingming, because today is a special day, some close relatives of the He family will also come here to pay homage to the great general. goods.
Lin Huiru and Princess Anning went to the front hall to welcome the guests. These people were all snobbish. They nodded and bowed when they saw Princess Anning. Staring at Princess Anning's head jewelry naked, her eyeballs were about to fall off.
Although they are indeed good things, such a faux pas really makes it hard for Lin Huiru to watch.
After finally finishing the courtesies, Princess Anning pulled Lin Huiru out and let out a sigh of relief. The rest in the hall were elders who had something to say.
"It almost suffocated me. I won't come next year, I won't come if I pretend to be sick, I don't know any of those people, and I insist on getting in touch with them." Princess Anning looked unlovable, her whole body seemed to be trapped Leaning on Lin Huiru as if she lost her strength, she complained.
This is true, after all, some of the relatives of the He family, they themselves can't get along with each other, and now they come to seek a relationship with the princess, what else can they do besides flattery?
Lin Huiru was also a little helpless, "I won't come with you anymore, obviously they are people who have nothing to do with me." As they walked,
they heard a burst of laughter, as if it was the He family who came with them today The relatives of the two girls were chasing and making noise in the garden. The hairpins on the heads of the two little girls were inserted indecently, which even made Lin Huiru feel a little familiar.
"Hey, isn't that Miss He's hairpins from yesterday? Why did they get into the hands of those unruly girls? Today is Qingming, and they are all dressed up in gorgeous clothes. Isn't that intentional not to take the old lady seriously?" Princess Anning was a little angry. After all, she was born in the royal family. Even if she doesn't like restraint, there are still basic rules.
"Yeah, it's chattering, it's really noisy." Lin Huiru couldn't help but frowned. Just now they also planned to take a walk in the garden, but looking at it like this, she and Princess Anning turned around tacitly Want to change places.
At this moment, He Zhihua's voice sounded anxiously in the garden, "Sisters, stop playing, these hairpins are not very strong, and they are really important to me, please take them off and return them to me ."
"It's just a few hairpins. Are you so stingy?" The younger one couldn't help but rolled his eyes. He took it off, but he didn't have any intention of returning it to the original owner. He kept fiddling with the hairpin.
"We finally came all the way, is this the way the old lady asked you to entertain us?" This voice sounded even more annoying.
Chapter 558 Return to the original owner
He Zhihua got a little anxious, and seeing the hairpin crumbling, she couldn't help but raise her voice, "Stop playing like this, grandma asked me to entertain you, but she didn't say that you can touch my things as you like, and nothing else is fine. This was given to me by grandma a long time ago, and it is very meaningful!"
He Xiao curled his lips, not intending to let go of the hairpin at all, but shook it even more violently, "It's just a hairpin, and I give you so much every year What's the matter with you one or two? Who can't afford a hairpin? This one is so ugly after a closer look, do you have the nerve to come and ask me for it?
" I just think it's fresh." He Qing was here to protect He Xiao, and the two of them sang and harmonized, almost making He Zhihua cry.
Seeing that the hairpin had been stripped of its golden thread, He Zhihua couldn't help but turn pale with fright, and hurriedly went to get the hairpin back, but He Xiao nimbly avoided it, her hand landed on He Xiao's shoulder, catching nothing.
"Why are you like this! I was just looking at your hairpin, and you still want to push me!? Is this how you treat guests?! I'm going to complain to grandma, such a broken thing Who cares about it!" As soon as He Xiao's expression changed, his slightly childish face distorted immediately, and he couldn't help but throw the hairpin on the ground, only to hear a rustling sound, and the hairpin fell to pieces and fell to the ground, causing He Zhi to draw My heart also fell to the bottom.
Princess An Ning couldn't stand it any longer, so she took Lin Huiru to block the way of He Xiao and He Qing, and said with a sneer, "Should I file a complaint? Don't take other people's things seriously here, this one is much more expensive than your clothes!"
Although the two girls are also named He, they are already relatives of the old man of the He family. Now, not only are they estranged, but their family background is also average. Although they say they are disdainful, the greed in their eyes cannot be concealed.
Looking at He Zhihua whose eyes were already red, Lin Huiru frowned and stepped forward to help her pick it up. Although the hairpin flower is not liked by the little girl, if it is in the hands of an older woman, it will be a big deal. My dear, and the value of the material used for this hairpin is yet to be estimated. Just looking at the quality, this hairpin costs at least a few thousand taels. It should be the most expensive among the things they looked at that day.
He Qing and He Xiao were taken aback when they saw Princess Anning, and then they were a little apprehensive. Even if they were pointed out, they didn't mean to admit their mistakes.
He Xiao didn't say anything and hid behind He Qing, while He Qing smiled politely and bowed, "I've seen Her Royal Highness, we sisters are playing around, princess, don't get me wrong, we won't do it in a year." It's rare to walk around once, but it's just a joke."
"Are you kidding? Okay." Princess Anning's violent temper came up again, and she looked at He Qing and He Xiao. They didn't have anything valuable on them, probably the most expensive one. A hairpin is only about a hundred taels, and if a dozen of them are dropped, it will not be worth the one that is broken.
Princess An Ning sneered and pulled out the most expensive hairpin on He Xiao's head. The butterflies and flower balls on the table rolled all over the ground immediately, "I'm just joking with you, don't mind, these things that are less than a hundred taels fall, it really doesn't feel like it." pity.
But He Xiao's eye circles are red. This is indeed her most expensive hairpin. Their family is just a small sesame official. They came here during the Qingming Festival. are the most precious.
He Qing frowned. She didn't expect Princess Anning to do this, but she didn't have the courage to mess with Princess Anning, "Princess...it's inappropriate...although it's not expensive, my sister likes this hairpin very much..."
"So? Do you want me to pay for it? Didn't Ms. He just say that her hairpin is very meaningful? Did you give it? I heard your conversation clearly just now, and you are suing me, Xiaomenxiaohu Just be so narrow-minded." Princess Anning sneered, she also grew up with the ladies in the palace, and she learned a lot about how to talk to others.
"This is our He family's business, it's none of your business!" After all, He Xiao was young, and his words were a bit indiscriminate.
But He Qing's face changed, and he quickly covered her mouth to apologize, "Your Highness, don't blame me, my sister is young, and sometimes she just likes to get angry, now you should fall down too, why don't you let this matter go Go." Saying that, she also took back the hairpin on her head and the one on He Xiao's head and handed them to He Zhihua.
He Qing turned his back to Princess Anning, but Lin Huiru saw it clearly. When she slandered the hairpin, she clenched it fiercely, with a look of resentment.
Among these few hairpins, few can be kept...
"Stop, what else, do you think I've never seen these hairpins before?" Lin Huiru didn't have time to comfort He Zhihua, but blocked it with Princess Anning their way. She has seen a bully, but she has never seen such a bully, who is so insolent after playing with other people's things and breaking them.
He Qing swallowed, she didn't know Lin Huiru's identity, and she became a bit annoyed when she spoke, "These don't belong to you, should all the jewelry belong to her?" "Oh,
you I've seen those two on her head, the one on her head, and the bracelet on your hand from Ms. He. You really don't see each other a few times a year, and when you see each other, you go home to get things. "Lin Huiru sneered. Her photographic memory is not just for fun. The main reason is that the gap between those jewelry is very big among the knowledgeable people, just like a rose in a group of roses. distinguish.
He Xiao subconsciously protected the hairpin on his head, and glared at Lin Huiru fiercely, "You are talking nonsense, this is obviously ours!
" I have given all the jewelry to me, but I have no place to put it, so I will put it in Miss He's place first, let me see, the things you broke are actually mine." Princess Anning's face also became gloomy. She has never been afraid of anyone. Her father can rule the world with one hand, and she can walk sideways when entering the palace. When will it be the turn of these two pheasants to show off in front of her?
Even though she was not familiar with He Zhihua, she couldn't stand this tone.
Now He Xiao and He Qing were shocked. If they knew that these things belonged to Princess An Ning, how would they dare to touch them?
"Sister, why didn't you tell me earlier that this is what Her Highness the Princess wanted? You didn't pack up the princess's things and put them there, did you just want to wrong our family?!" He Qing said, but It's too strong a word.
Chapter 559
This is the first time Lin Huiru has seen this kind of nonsense way of evading charges. He Xiao and He Qing probably regard them as fools, and even He Zhihua is already too angry to speak, but she He also understood in his heart that Princess An Ning's words were to vent her anger on her behalf, how could she refute Princess An Ning's face.
"You didn't ask for my permission before you touched it. Now that I've told you, do you still want to take away all your belongings?" While speaking, He Zhihua's voice trembled slightly, but he felt extraordinarily comfortable. This is the first time in so many years that she can scold these two girls.
"You are such a good sister!" He Xiao gritted his teeth, and offered the things with both hands with great reluctance, "Princess, we don't know that these are your things, Princess. For the sake of our ignorance, please forgive us, princess."
Now that I have kicked the iron plate, I realize that it is too late to beg for mercy. , are all valuable, but there are not many intact ones.
"Excuse me? Ms. He doesn't seem to have a good relationship with you. Even if it's your mother, you might not dare to play with things worth a thousand taels of silver? You didn't know if you broke the princess's things. It's over?" Lin Huiru grabbed the broken ones and spread them out in front of their eyes.
There were not many intact ones, so she gave these two people one by one a liquidation price, "Let's talk about the one that was dropped by your sister first, at least it's worth four thousand taels, just this one, maybe you guys Even if the family goes bankrupt, it can't be repaid, and this thing..." "
Yes, this hairpin, I have seen similar ones in my mother's harem, and it should have a background." Princess Anning took the pieces. The petals were full of regret, "I liked that hairpin very much at the time, but the queen mother never let me touch it, and I couldn't find a second one in the palace." In fact,
Lin Huiru didn't expect this hairpin to be really It's so strange, but when the two of them sang together, the faces of He Qing and He Xiao turned pale. Let alone four thousand taels, even one thousand taels may not be able to have that much money in a year for their family.
"Other things are easy to say, except for the mutton fat jade bracelet which is about 800 taels, the rest of the hairpins should also be priced at 5 or 600 taels. The old lady held Miss He in her hand and gave them all Good thing, I will find someone to estimate the price of this thing in a while, and then send it to your parents to see how to compensate it." Lin Huiru sneered, if I had known that these babies would go through what happened today, it would be better to buy it yesterday. stay first.
Seeing the two of them helping him out, He Zhihua couldn't help feeling warm in his heart.
He Qing's complexion was pale. They couldn't afford to pay for any of these things. If they made trouble in front of their elders, they would definitely be scolded and bruised. They gritted their teeth and knelt down to Princess Anning, "Princess, we really I don't know that these things belong to you, and our family is a petty official, and our business is only a small business. I really can't afford it. I apologize for my sister here, please forgive us!" "You
are You are used to being rampant, do you really think that everyone is obliged to understand you two giant babies here? It is really eye-opening to be dishonest in someone else's house." Lin Huiru sneered, and she would definitely not let it go today. Pass these two ignorant ones.
He Zhihua timidly stood beside her, but seeing Lin Huiru helping so much, she gritted her teeth and said in a deep voice, "Actually, they don't need to pay, they still have a few hairpins, just return them. As for That magpie feather hairpin...was given to me by my grandma, so I just kept it safe, and I didn't know it was so precious."
Seeing what she said, Princess An Ning just hated iron and steel, "This thing is not only precious , is still a person of status, just like my mother's queen has phoenix hairpins, how can I just let them go?" "Since it is a
valuable thing, we don't care about other things, but this one must be of great significance, Miss He Let's go and ask the old lady for advice." Lin Huiru said, and glanced at the pair of sisters, without any intention of admitting their mistakes, and if they are spared, they may not have a long memory.
After all, He Xiao was spoiled by the family, and he also knew that if this matter got worse, they would have no good fruit to eat, and the anger in their hearts would suddenly stop. Blame this woman, "What are you! Her Royal Highness didn't say a word! A servant who is not even a maid dares to yell here! Believe it or not, I will tell my father!" Lin Huiru could say such unreasonable
words After listening to it, Qingyue couldn't stand anymore. She looked at Princess Anning, and she went to the side and slapped He Xiao directly. The sound was very clear, and He Xiao's face became red and swollen. With an expression of disbelief, she burst into tears, "Bitch, how dare you hit me!? My parents have never dated me! You're just a servant, yet you dare to hit me!"
Qing The moon was full of sneers, and it was the first time she met someone who dared to shout. The servants who came out of their princess mansion were also sent from the palace. In the palace, she still needs to be called aunt. This girl is not courageous. Little,
before she had time to speak, the noise here attracted several relatives wandering around He's house. He Xiao's mother was among those who heard the noise. She saw He Xiao's cheeks were red and swollen kneeling on the ground. Crying and screaming, she rushed over and hugged He Xiao in her arms, "My dear, what's the matter? He Qing! He Zhihua! How do you two take care of your younger sister!?
" There are also two men, Lin Huiru vaguely remembers, these two should be He Zhihua's cousin, they look at He Zhihua with disdain. Yue Mo, probably because He Zhihua was adopted.
"It was you who hit He Xiao?!" A tall and thick man looked at Lin Huiru. Just now, Qingyue returned to Princess Anning after beating him. Now Lin Huiru is the closest to He Xiao.
Lin Huiru raised her eyebrows, her eyes signaled Princess Anning not to speak, she took out the broken hairpin in her hand, and said coldly, "So what if I beat you? The two maids you brought with you secretly slapped Miss He Do you know how much these hairpins add up to? Not only do you have no attitude of admitting your mistakes, but you are also making trouble here and yelling at them unreasonably. Since your parents are not well educated, don't blame others for bringing them out to help you educate."
"What are you!? Since when did the He family have such a blind servant like you!?" He Xiao's mother was in so much pain that she cursed directly.
Chapter 560 Teach you to be a man
Lin Huiru was extremely calm, "No matter who you are today, you can educate these two uneducated people in your family. Since you are her elders, these broken ones add up to about six thousand taels of silver. Why don't you think about how to compensate them?" "
Hearing what she said, the faces of several people were distorted, and the money they got from the He family was not so much. In addition, these people are all from small families, and they don't know any expensive things. They only think hairpins are pretty, and they may not have that price.
"You're really a lion, but it's just a few hairpins. He Xiao is young, so what if it breaks? Why don't you just buy two more for Zhihua?" He Xiao's father, He Feng, said in a strange way.
He Zhihua was so cold from head to toe that she heard it by the side, she didn't dare to say anything, after all, she was just adopted, and even when this kind of thing happened every year, she never dared to tell Taijun Yu, but just now Lin Huiru The kindness of helping her fight for her reason made her brave enough to speak, "Grandma bought these things. If Ms. Lin misunderstood the price, the two cousins ââwill find out by asking, so why make things difficult here?"
" Make things difficult? He Zhihua, you are a white-eyed wolf, right here to help outsiders talk? When are you young, when can you wear such precious things? This time, let you learn a lesson and let you remember to put away your things carefully ." He Feng glared at He Zhihua, and went forward to hug He Xiao.
If Lin Huiru hadn't told Princess Anning not to participate in this farce, she would have been unable to control herself.
He Feng looked at his daughter with distressed face, turned his head and said to He Zhihua fiercely, "You are so cruel at such a young age, let your two sisters kneel on this day, without father's things I really have no education at all!"
After finishing speaking, He Feng had another face in front of Princess An Ning, flattering and obsequious, his old smile was about to bloom, "Your Highness, please don't be offended, the conflict between their sisters, in the past It's over, the old lady is still in the front yard, it's getting late, why don't the princess go to have lunch together."
Princess Anning had a cold face, with endless chill on her face. She glanced at He Feng, her eyes were full of disgust, "Stay away from me, don't you know the distance I should keep? Sixth and seventh grades. You were the ones who got annoying here just now, is it my turn to talk now?"
He Feng's expression turned ugly, but in order to curry favor, he still had to force his smile and nod. Nodded, "Hey, what Your Highness said is that the princess forgives the sin, and the princess can say what she wants to say." "
Oh, so you still know the dignity." Princess An Ning sneered again and walked beside Lin Huiru, " First, Ms. He has already given these hairpins to me, so they are my things, and it is cheaper for you to say six thousand taels, but if you broke my things, you just let it go after you said it?"
Now the faces of the three people are not good. If He Zhi's painting is okay, but if Princess Anning is involved, this matter will not be so easy to handle. The six thousand taels of silver will kill them. .
"Secondly, your ability to see the wind and the wind really opened my eyes. You know how to flatter and kneel before me, but Miss Xiaoru is something you can blame? After such a long time, the first time I played outside with me, I was bumped into by you guys who don't have long eyes, how should I explain to the prime minister when I go back?" Princess Anning couldn't bear it anymore, Lin Huiru couldn't help but swallow her breath like this, Even if Lin Huiru was going to scold him for a while, he had to open the eyes of these blind beasts.
At this moment, He Feng's heart was about to stop, and he quickly pulled the whole family to kneel down, kowtowing one after another, "Mrs. Lin?! Mrs. Lin, please forgive me, it's the little one who doesn't know Mount Tai, Mrs. Lin Forgive me!"
Lin Huiru just glanced helplessly at Princess Anning, and just as she was about to speak, she saw a servant rushing over, "I have seen the princess, Your Highness, the Prime Minister is here, and I want to see you and Miss Lin... ..." Looking at the scene in front of him, the servant couldn't help being a little dazed.
Now the hearts of He Feng's family are like ice, even the prime minister has come, they have offended half of the big shots in the capital today!
He Feng rushed over to ask for mercy, but Lin Huiru nimbly avoided it, and then went to the front hall with Princess Anning.
Now that Xu Ziqiao came to pick her up, she should have almost settled the matter in the capital. Thinking about it, her steps were much lighter.
In the front hall, a lot of eyes fell on Xu Ziqiao. To these foreign relatives today, Xu Ziqiao is simply a big man who can't see the head and tail.
"Master Xu brought the imperial decree here today, I am really flattered. Master Xu has been working hard all the way, why don't we stay and have a light meal together?" When Taijun Yu saw Xu Ziqiao, his eyes lit up, this person is very personable My young man is now the prime minister, and he will definitely make great achievements in the future. How many old people don't like outstanding young talents?
Xu Ziqiao bowed his head and saluted, and asked someone to send the imperial decree, "You are welcome, old lady, I am here this time to deliver the imperial decree for His Majesty, and I am also here to pick up the princess and my wife back to Beijing. When will I go back? It depends on the princess, since the old lady invites you, it is better to be respectful than obedient."
"Mr. Xu's wife?" Not only Yu Taijun, but everyone else was also stunned. I didn't hear that Mrs. Xiang came here. .
At this moment, Princess Anning also came with Lin Huiru, He Zhihua and He Xiao's family. After seeing Lin Huiru, the smile on Xu Ziqiao's face can only be described as like a spring breeze, "Maybe I told the old man before. People are hiding something, this is my wife, my wife is still young and a little naughty, I hope the old lady will not take offense." "Have
you settled everything?" Lin Huiru stepped forward, still a little worried , turned around and gave Yu Taijun another salute.
"It's all been taken care of, don't worry." Xu Ziqiao smiled.
Seeing the unspoken atmosphere between them, Yu Taijun smiled knowingly, "It turns out that Miss Lin is Mrs. Xiang. Before I was old, I was still thinking about what kind of man can be worthy of this Miss Lin." Now."
Now that their identities are confirmed, not only the faces of He Xiao's family are as white as paper, but even their legs are a little unsteady. Your Highness, forgive me!"
Xu Ziqiao was still a little unclear, so Princess An Ning stepped forward and explained aggrievedly, "It's all my fault. It's so annoying to let this family bully Miss Xiaoru!"
