The baby delivered to the door became the emperor
Chapter 81 Softer
"I chose my maidservant, it won't come in vain. Patriarch Lin not only looks alike, but also has the same temperament." Qiao Xiu opened her mouth slowly, her eyes fixed on her eyebrows and eyes, as if missing her through the similarities old friend.
Lin Ran scolded her appearance again in her heart, and raised her brows after scolding, "Lin Ran doesn't understand what the side concubine is talking about."
"Knowing that you understand, but pretending not to understand is also a very difficult thing. Just like Xinyang, knowing that the Luo family is in trouble, but not going to rescue, will ruin Luo Qing's heart in vain." Qiao Xiu sighed and couldn't help coughing lightly. With a sound, the sickness became more serious.
She spoke so bluntly that Lin Ran didn't know how to answer. After taking a sip of tea to suppress her shock, she asked tentatively, "Is there any misunderstanding between the side concubine and His Highness Xinyang?"
Qiao Xiu is not an imposing person, on the contrary, when he talks to people, his smile is like the wind passing through the path of peaches and plums, and he is very close.
"I didn't misunderstand her."
Lin Ran doesn't know what happened before, but this sentence is definitely a lie. If there is no misunderstanding, there is no need to mention what happened back then.But she said that there was no misunderstanding, so she didn't mention it any more, instead invited her to drink tea, and talked about the tea: "The concubine tried the tea, this is the autumn tea this year, although it is not as good as the spring tea, the taste is also good."
"The doctor asked me to drink less tea, Patriarch Lin, please be polite." Qiao Xiu politely refused, and coughed a few times lightly on her lips.
Lin Ran talked a lot, and she felt that she was eloquent when she walked around these years, and she didn't want to meet this side concubine who couldn't find anything to say.Just when she was feeling embarrassed, the servant girl stepped forward and bowed to the two of them, "The side concubine, the arrangements have been made."
Qiao Xiu nodded, helped the table to stand up, and smiled at Lin Ran: "Patriarch Lin, I'll go home first."
"The side concubine is good to go." Lin Ran sent the person to the door, saw her in the carriage before returning to the house, and smiled slightly. The words and deeds of the side concubine seemed to be extremely dissatisfied with Xinyang's failure to save Luo Qing.
Could it be that she admires Luo Qing?
After this absurd thought came to her mind, she tried her best to erase it. She should ask His Highness Xinyang, who is this Concubine Qiao, it gave her a strange feeling.
After leaving the embroidery workshop, the palace sent a letter to her, asking her to go to a wine shop for a drink.
Where is drinking, most likely because she didn't bring any money, so she sent a message to Ah Liang that she won't be going back to the princess mansion at noon, so don't worry about it.
When she arrived at the wine shop, Xie Xing stood at the door and lingered, seeing her make a humble salute: "Little aunt."
This person has too many etiquettes and is a bit pedantic. Hearing this address, Lin Ran felt depressed, "Did the princes drink again?"
"Yes, a few people bet, whoever loses will pay the money, Grandpa Ninth loses, let me find you." Xie Xing scratched his head, not ashamed to mention these things.
Lin Ran took it for granted, went to the counter to settle the money, and said to the shopkeeper: "In the future, the Ninth Prince will come to treat guests, and directly credit it to the account of the princess's mansion. Then you will ask someone to pick up the money."
The shopkeeper hastily responded twice, and Lin Ran was about to leave with the servant.
"Patriarch Lin, it's a coincidence." The soft and charming voice was extremely pleasant.
Lin Ran supported his forehead, looked at Xie Xing, and squeezed his eyebrows. Xie Xing stayed where he was, and asked, "Does little aunt's eyes hurt?"
"Why did the Sixth Prince make you so stupid?" Lin Ran cursed in a low voice, then turned to look at Zhao Fuyun, "Miss Zhao, it's a coincidence that you're here to drink too?"
"A friend came here by invitation, and if you don't want to meet, you go upstairs and have a seat?" Zhao Fuyun is gorgeous today, the light red dress sets off her snow-white complexion, the waist is tied with a ribbon, and the waist is not full enough to hold.
Lin Ran was fascinated by her clothes, Ah Liang seemed to have never dressed like this before, and it must be very good-looking for Xiu Niang to have her tailor-made for her back.
Zhao Fuyun walked down gracefully, with tenderness in his eyes, he said softly: "What's wrong with Patriarch Lin?"
"No, I have something to do with Mr. Xie's family, so I won't bother Miss Zhao, another day." Lin Ran directly refused, it was useless to tempt her.
She is invulnerable.
Lin Ran directly refused, which made Zhao Fuyun stunned, watching the two quickly leave the wine shop and disappear before his eyes.
Her eyes were darkened, her nails dug into her flesh, it really ruined her mind that such a little thing failed to fall for her repeatedly.
Xie Xing was dragged away by her inexplicably, got on his horse and said, "Little aunt, I haven't eaten lunch yet, where are I going?"
"Take you to a good place to eat." Lin Ran swung his whip and left, heading south of the city.
The place to eat is Xinyang Princess Mansion.
The two entered through the main entrance grandly, Xie Xing seldom came over, he was a little timid, and followed Lin, "Why did my little aunt come here for a meal? How could His Highness Xinyang let us eat a meal?"
"You'll know when we come, and besides, there are always people following us, which is very annoying." Lin Ran strode towards the flower hall, and the maidservant served tea, and enthusiastically asked the two to wait for a while.
Xinyang was not at the house, after the servant went to spread the word, she came back on horseback, followed by the dog skin plaster Changle.
After seeing the juniors in the hall, Chang Le asked curiously, "What are you two doing here?"
"What does His Highness Chang Le come here for, that's what we are here for." Lin Ran smiled, and Xie Xing who was beside him was too ashamed to speak.
"I'm here as a guest. It's not good for the two of you to grab a meal. Why do you come here? You're so courageous." Chang Le sat directly beside Lin Ran, stretched out his hand to grab her ear, and whispered to her: "In those few days King Ping can't stand up at all."
Xinyang went to the backyard to change his clothes, and ordered the maidservant to prepare a meal. Before leaving, he saw Changle's signal and signaled her to keep her mouth shut.
Chang Le ignored her, and still said that King Ping's leg was seriously injured, but Lin Ran didn't want to hear it, so he took the words: "Does your Highness know the side concubine of King Ping?"
"Which side concubine are you referring to?"
"Does King Ping have many side concubines?"
"About several of them. After removing the main concubine, he married a few side concubines for marriage, and some aunts who didn't have a jade certificate. He is the most chaotic in the backyard, and he has the most sons, seven or eight, and countless daughters. Already." Chang Le thought about it carefully, King Ping was chic and could make women happy, all of them were fascinated.
Lin Ran gossiped: "Is there a concubine Qiao who is not in good health?"
"Sister Qiao's?" Chang Le paused when he heard the words while holding the teacup, approached Lin Ran, and whispered, "Have you heard any rumors?"
"What rumor?" Lin Ran's scalp tightened. Is there a story?
Chang Le stretched out his hand and said, "I have to give money for listening to the story, 1 taels."
"This story is worth more than Princess Luo's?" Lin Ran was surprised. The last time it was only worth 2000 taels of silver, this time it was five times higher. Could it be that there is something shady about it.She subconsciously shook her head: "I'll go to His Highness Xinyang, and it won't cost me any money."
Having been deceived a lot, she thinks she knows Changle's tricks, so she might as well go to someone else without spending money.
Chang Le patted her on the head, "Why are you so stingy, just like your mother. I'll give you half the price, how about it?"
The two of them bargained for half a day like buying vegetables in a vegetable market, and finally settled for 1000 taels of silver.
Before Xinyang came, Chang Le said first: "Qiao Xiu fell in love with Luo Qing back then."
Sure enough, there was an abnormal story, Lin Ran sighed, and asked nervously, "Did King Ping know about it?"
"Naturally, after Luo Qing got married, King Ping went to ask Qiao Xiu to be his side concubine. Qiao Xiu seemed to disagree, but at that time the world was about to be settled. .”
Lin Ran understood, and could feel Qiao Xiu's dislike for Xinyang. She took away her beloved, and finally ignored her. It's hard not to hate her.
At this point, the maidservants filed in, put the prepared meals on the table, and several people sat in separate cases. Xie Xing was extremely restrained, and when he picked up the chopsticks, he didn't even notice to look up at Xinyang.
Seeing Chang Le laughing, he joked: "Xie Xing, does His Highness Xin Yang have three heads and six arms?"
Xie Xing was too ashamed to lift his head, "No, no."
"Since you don't have three heads and six arms, what are you afraid of? It's impossible for her to reveal her murderous aura. Looking at you like this, it's like a knife resting on your neck. You are extremely cowardly." Chang Le laughed.
Lin Ran ignored the two of them and buried himself in the food, Xinyang looked at the expressions of the two, "Where did you two come from?"
"The restaurant, the three princes drank too much, and no one paid the bill, so they came to me. I met the owner of Zhao's Embroidery Workshop and had nowhere to go. Why don't you come and disturb the princess." Lin Ran was very frank, and will see you in the morning Skip the matter about Qiao Xiu, so as not to embarrass His Highness Xinyang.
"Why do you have nowhere to go when you meet her?" Chang Le was puzzled, thinking of Zhao Fuyun's beauty, she put down her chopsticks and asked tentatively, "Have you taken a fancy to her?"
"His Highness Chang Le is tempted?" Lin Ran transferred the pot to her, thought for a while and said: "Then Zhao Fuyun's appearance and age are also suitable for His Highness, so you are not tempted?"
"Bah, shut up quickly, I keep myself clean and have no interest in others."
"Then don't talk about me." Lin Ran didn't like her always making jokes about herself. A Liang is a sensitive person, and there is a gap between him and her, so jokes can come true.
"Stingy." Chang Le said something casually, but Xin Yang, who was seated above, remained silent.
After lunch, Xie Xing was eager to leave, but Lin Ran and Chang Le stayed behind and drove away Xinyang. After the maid made a pot of tea, the two sat facing each other.
Changle got the money, so she must tell the whole story, "Qiao Xiu is extremely kind, just the opposite of Luo Qing's temperament. She is a lady in the boudoir, she has read poetry and books, and she is similar to Mu Liang, but Luo Qing is not you, she I don't like Qiao Xiu's temper."
Lin Ran held her chin in her hands, "Is Concubine Qiao misunderstood His Highness Xinyang?"
"People who are on good terms with the Luo family have no misunderstandings about her, so what if there are misunderstandings, they just talk about it, and Qiao Xiu gave birth to a daughter, and her temper does not follow her. You will know when you meet her. Qiao Xiu is a man of life. In the past, I'm afraid she would have looked up to you, and she has a delicate heart and is not in good health."
Although we haven't seen each other these years, Qiao Xiu has written many letters, and every word is about Luo Qing, which is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
No one cared about what happened back then. What Qiao Xiu missed was Luo Qing, but what kind of person was King Ping, how could he make his own woman miss others.
The relationship was so complicated that Lin Ran didn't bother to think about it anymore. After listening to the story for a while, he got up and said goodbye.
After returning to the mansion, Mu Liang was making pajamas in the house. The materials bought by Zhao's family had not been touched. Today, when he remembered nothing, he took them out and cut them.
There were only two people in the room, and Lin Ran was sitting by the side, staring at A Liang's hands, threading needles with grace, "A Liang, I met Qiao Xiu, the side concubine of Prince Ping, in the embroidery workshop today."
Mu Liang didn't know this person this time, and he didn't care about it, he just focused on getting his needlework done, "She made clothes?"
"I don't think so, it seems to be a trick to see me." Lin Ran raised her eyebrows, waiting for Ah Liang to be surprised.
After waiting for a while, Mu Liang didn't raise his head, nor was he surprised. After the needle was threaded, he said, "It's normal to see you, after all, you have money."
Although Lin Ran is not an official, he has been paying attention to what he has done all these years. It is not surprising that there is Zhao Fuyun in the front and Qiao Xiu in the back.
"She doesn't like me, and she doesn't want money. I heard that she likes Princess Luo."
"I like Princess Luo..." The needle in Mu Liang's hand trembled and couldn't go in. "Who is Qiao Xiu?"
"I only think she is your sister again, but when I think about it carefully, there is no prince with the surname Qiao among the Nine Kings. It must not be the case. After seeing Chang Le today, I realized that Qiao Xiu has not forgotten Princess Luo for so many years." Lin Ran restlessly leaned against her, feeling the needles and threads on the fabric, every stitch and thread was A Liang's.
Feeling very happy in her heart, she said again: "Ah Liang, you said that Qiao Xiu came to see me today, will there be another time?"
"People are looking for you? Mostly because they miss Princess Luo, just watching you get over their lovesickness, don't put gold on your face." Mu Liang was careless, and when the needle and thread passed through, there was an extra person beside his elbow, "Stay away from me If you have nothing to do, go play chess with Lin Si."
"It's rare for me to come back, why do you push me away, and you won't be angry if people look at me?" Lin Ran held her hand, snatched the needle and thread from her hand, and threw it aside.
Mu Liang's body was soft, but his strength was weak, and Lin Ran couldn't move even a little force, "Qi Concubine likes your mother, if I'm angry, it should be Xinyang."
"You're not angry, so let me tell you something that made you angry. When I went to pay my father today, I met Zhao Fuyun, and she invited me to have a drink together." Lin Ran hugged her, holding her hand in his arms. Squeezed her waist, smiled, "Ah Liang, it seems to be softer."
The former sentence is serious, but the latter is not serious. Mu Liang was angry and ashamed, but he couldn't get away from her, "What can I do to be angry, if you want to have three wives and four concubines like King Ping, what can I do."
"Ah Liang is very cute when she is angry." Lin Ran teased her, Mu Liang seemed docile, but deep down he was very paranoid, no matter how much he convinced him, he would never turn back.
Mu Liang was molested by her words, her ears turned red, thinking of her usual obedient temperament, she followed her, half leaning in her arms, "If you want to like others, I will not stop you you."
"Then give up your seat to someone else?" Lin Ran chuckled.
"Yeah." Mu Liang hummed lightly, as a response, she would not make Lin Ran hard to be a man.
"You are so generous, you don't mean what you say." Lin Ran saw through her self-deception, held her weak and boneless hands, and threatened her: "If you lie to yourself like this, big trouble will happen."
"What's the big deal?" Mu Liang's palms became hot from her coaxing the child. She usually coaxed her, but today it was the other way around. She was extremely uncomfortable.
Lin Ran plucked a few strands of hair from her ears, and blew: "Ah Liang, if you continue to be so generous, it will come true, and I will be unscrupulous. One day, it will be useless for you to cry."
Mu Liang is proud, and when the day comes, I'm afraid she won't cry, she is so stubborn that it makes people feel distressed.
"What do you mean?" Mu Liang couldn't understand what she said strangely, shouldn't he be more generous?
Lin Ran said: "Do you know that accidents are easy to happen when you look at those virtuous wives, the husbands are all three wives and four concubines, and they have no scruples. Then look at those courtiers who are like wives and slaves. There are shrews in their families. No other woman would dare."
"You compare me to a shrew?" Mu Liang reacted, and stretched out his hand to grab her ear, which was not a good comparison, so he insisted on comparing me to a shrew.
Lin Ran tilted his head and smiled, gently pushed the hand away, "I'll just teach you, who told you to say no to me every day."
"Is it my fault that you talk about Zhao Fuyun every now and then?" Mu Liang was angry. Seeing her pink face like a peach blossom, her anger dissipated again. After all, she couldn't seriously argue with her.
"Shouldn't I tell you? Telling you clearly is better than passing gossip into your ears and making you think wildly. Have you ever thought that so many chance encounters will never be a coincidence. "
Mu Liang fell silent, the reasoning seemed to be correct, after thinking about it, her ears felt warm, the warm feeling penetrated into her skin, and the rubbing between her teeth made her feel soft.
She stabilized her mind and said seriously: "Then will you let that kind of rumor appear?"
"Do your best not to let it go." Lin Ran half-assured, her white teeth gently rubbed against the delicate skin around her ears, her throat felt hot, and then said: "I like you to be jealous, why should you suppress yourself, wouldn't it be good to open your heart? "
She spoke softly, and Mu Jue sighed softly. She was older than Lin Ran, so she acted recklessly like her. She pursed the corners of her lips, and heard Xiao Guai mutter: "You want to save face, close the door, You belong to me alone, no one will laugh at you."
Mu Liang was amused by her, "Where is anyone begging to be jealous, you are possessed today."
"I'm obsessed with you, isn't it?"
"Where did the nonsense come from? Did you go to the Fuyun Tower and hear the unserious words?" Mu Liang was curious. It was fine to go out in the morning, but it would be unserious if you didn't see him for half a day.
"If I go, Jiu Niang has already asked you to arrest me. Will you let me go? She and Uncle have the same idea, and they want me to treat you well and keep myself clean. They are afraid that I will betray you. Treat me like a villain." Lin Ran was dissatisfied, everyone was waiting for her to like others and abandon Mu Liang as if they were watching a joke.
"You are a villain. In my eyes, you are the villain I raised." Mu Liang said seriously, sat up straight, and turned to look at her, "Are you under pressure?"
Lin Ran shook his head, "No, I'm afraid I didn't treat you well enough, and suddenly you left one day."
"Now that I'm married, where can I go? You're overthinking it." Seeing that her expression was wrong, Mu Liang touched her face, "What did Qiao Xiu tell you?"
"No, it's just some strange words, don't talk about it, let's go to bed." Lin Ran didn't mention it anymore, these things are too complicated, which makes people feel headache, especially the messy feelings of the previous generation.
She dragged Mu Liang to rest, but Mu Liang didn't want to, so he took the needle and thread, and had to think about making the pajamas, saying: "You go to sleep alone, and the pajamas can be used, if you delay, you won't be able to finish it."
"I'm not in a hurry, I have to rest when I'm tired." Lin Ran was too strong, and Mu Liang couldn't break free. He made three chapters first: "Then don't touch me."
"I won't touch you, just go to sleep." Lin Ran agreed, what happens after she gets on the bed is not up to A Liang.
She and Mu Liang had a good time during the day, Xinyang went to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to see Su Changlan, His Majesty did not say anything for a long time, still making people feel uneasy.
The Criminal Department is strict, and there are soldiers inside and outside the prison. After Xinyang entered, a jailer with bad legs and feet led her in.
The jailer held a lamp to illuminate the dim road in front of him, and stopped at the end of the road. He took out the key, and Xinyang suddenly said, "Did the former prince also live here?"
The jailer opened the key with a trembling hand, and answered with a bowed head, "Yes, this is the cell, and the prisoners are all big men."
"That's right, there are big people here." Xinyang sighed and strode in.
The jailer called Wang Qian, who had bad legs. After looking around, he went to the next cell to listen to their conversation.
Xinyang came empty-handed, which made Su Changlan a little disappointed. She sat upright on the bed with her back straight, and her clothes were neat and tidy. She didn't look embarrassed, which showed that the Ministry of Criminal Justice did not punish her.
She opened her eyes, looked at the person standing with her hands behind her back, and the corners of her mouth slanted up: "You won, the tower assassination move is absolutely seamless, pinching the lifeblood of the Su family."
"Whether you believe it or not, it's not me. I won't joke about the lives of dozens of courtiers." Xinyang looked calm, without too much emotion, and without a trace of pleasure.
Su Changlan got off the couch, stood up straight, stared at the calm person in front of him: "Do you think I will believe it?"
She knows Xinyang very well, so many years of love and hate have been entangled together, and the hatred has long since wiped out her upright heart. With so many things she has done since she came back, who else has the ability to plan? this matter.
"Whatever you think, I'm here to ask about the Luo family." Xinyang didn't want to stand, so he chose a place to sit down and softened his tired body.
The quieter she was, the more Su Changlan thought she was the one who did it, "Even if I die, I won't tell anything about the Luo family, I won't get you, and I won't let you feel at ease to admit that evil seed, you Think I'm a kind person?"
"Being able to lead troops to massacre [-] Luo family soldiers, will you be kind? After death, you will also go to the [-]th floor of hell." Xinyang said lightly.
The words angered Su Changlan, and he quickly walked over and grabbed her by the collar, and saw the throbbing veins in her neck at close range, "You forced me to be unkind, you treat me as nothing, Luo Qing is a barbaric person, vulgar Rudeness, that is her retribution."
Back then, she was the one who made a statement first, and she was the one who sat on the saddle beside Xinyang, so she almost broke her heart to show her, why did she let a barbaric woman take the lead when she treated her so wholeheartedly?
The others are fine, but it happens to be Luo Qing, who is as cunning as a poisonous snake.
She still refuses to accept it!
"Then today is also your retribution." Xinyang calmly pushed her hands away, straightened his clothes, and then slapped her with a slap, "How many people died in the Luo family, the Su family will pay double compensation, Luo After the public ownership, I will let your Su family have no children and grandchildren, this is my retribution for you."
"Chen Zhiyi!"
Su Changlan let out a low growl, clenched his fists with both hands, tried his best to suppress his anger, his cheeks were slightly swollen, and his facial expression was extremely distorted, "Don't think that you will win if I die, King Ping and Changle are not good people. Your Majesty will leave the country to you? What she wants is the Su family, not you, a powerful minister who has made great achievements in avenging his wife."
Xinyang's hand hurts. She used too much force just now, and her wrist was numb. Seeing her showing no remorse, she rubbed her wrist, "If you don't say it, you don't need to say it. This place treats you very well. You treat Lin The punishment that has been used, it is better to try it for yourself, if your Majesty asks, I will say that I did it, it is not a big deal, and no one will care about how the dying person dies."
Su Changlan trembled all over, watching her leave helplessly, with hatred in his eyes, love and hatred surged to his heart almost at the same time, there was no way to escape in the dark cell.
If she could leave, she would definitely go and catch Chen Zhiyi and tell her: she has no regrets.
After Xinyang walked out of the cell, Wang Qian also came out, following her step by step.
Before leaving the cell, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment came, she glanced at it, pretending to be unintentional and said: "The prisoner has not pleaded guilty, how did you do it in the past?"
The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishments trembled, and said in a low voice: "That's His Majesty's niece, use punishment..."
"The emperor broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people. What is she?" Xinyang rubbed his wrist, remembering what Lin Ran said about the family affairs of the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and smiled: "Don't forget what your son did. No one has discovered it yet."
Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment trembled even more, his face twitched, he bowed his head and said: "Your Highness, I know how to do it."
"I'm going to leave first, you treat her well." Seeing that the beating was okay, Xinyang ignored it and strode away.
She was a little curious, how did Lin Ran know about the official's house.
The author has something to say: Add updates, tomorrow is Devil’s Wednesday, no more.
It can be added the day after tomorrow.
Thank you for your feeding, and I bowed down for 1 minute to thank you.

Lin Ran scolded her appearance again in her heart, and raised her brows after scolding, "Lin Ran doesn't understand what the side concubine is talking about."
"Knowing that you understand, but pretending not to understand is also a very difficult thing. Just like Xinyang, knowing that the Luo family is in trouble, but not going to rescue, will ruin Luo Qing's heart in vain." Qiao Xiu sighed and couldn't help coughing lightly. With a sound, the sickness became more serious.
She spoke so bluntly that Lin Ran didn't know how to answer. After taking a sip of tea to suppress her shock, she asked tentatively, "Is there any misunderstanding between the side concubine and His Highness Xinyang?"
Qiao Xiu is not an imposing person, on the contrary, when he talks to people, his smile is like the wind passing through the path of peaches and plums, and he is very close.
"I didn't misunderstand her."
Lin Ran doesn't know what happened before, but this sentence is definitely a lie. If there is no misunderstanding, there is no need to mention what happened back then.But she said that there was no misunderstanding, so she didn't mention it any more, instead invited her to drink tea, and talked about the tea: "The concubine tried the tea, this is the autumn tea this year, although it is not as good as the spring tea, the taste is also good."
"The doctor asked me to drink less tea, Patriarch Lin, please be polite." Qiao Xiu politely refused, and coughed a few times lightly on her lips.
Lin Ran talked a lot, and she felt that she was eloquent when she walked around these years, and she didn't want to meet this side concubine who couldn't find anything to say.Just when she was feeling embarrassed, the servant girl stepped forward and bowed to the two of them, "The side concubine, the arrangements have been made."
Qiao Xiu nodded, helped the table to stand up, and smiled at Lin Ran: "Patriarch Lin, I'll go home first."
"The side concubine is good to go." Lin Ran sent the person to the door, saw her in the carriage before returning to the house, and smiled slightly. The words and deeds of the side concubine seemed to be extremely dissatisfied with Xinyang's failure to save Luo Qing.
Could it be that she admires Luo Qing?
After this absurd thought came to her mind, she tried her best to erase it. She should ask His Highness Xinyang, who is this Concubine Qiao, it gave her a strange feeling.
After leaving the embroidery workshop, the palace sent a letter to her, asking her to go to a wine shop for a drink.
Where is drinking, most likely because she didn't bring any money, so she sent a message to Ah Liang that she won't be going back to the princess mansion at noon, so don't worry about it.
When she arrived at the wine shop, Xie Xing stood at the door and lingered, seeing her make a humble salute: "Little aunt."
This person has too many etiquettes and is a bit pedantic. Hearing this address, Lin Ran felt depressed, "Did the princes drink again?"
"Yes, a few people bet, whoever loses will pay the money, Grandpa Ninth loses, let me find you." Xie Xing scratched his head, not ashamed to mention these things.
Lin Ran took it for granted, went to the counter to settle the money, and said to the shopkeeper: "In the future, the Ninth Prince will come to treat guests, and directly credit it to the account of the princess's mansion. Then you will ask someone to pick up the money."
The shopkeeper hastily responded twice, and Lin Ran was about to leave with the servant.
"Patriarch Lin, it's a coincidence." The soft and charming voice was extremely pleasant.
Lin Ran supported his forehead, looked at Xie Xing, and squeezed his eyebrows. Xie Xing stayed where he was, and asked, "Does little aunt's eyes hurt?"
"Why did the Sixth Prince make you so stupid?" Lin Ran cursed in a low voice, then turned to look at Zhao Fuyun, "Miss Zhao, it's a coincidence that you're here to drink too?"
"A friend came here by invitation, and if you don't want to meet, you go upstairs and have a seat?" Zhao Fuyun is gorgeous today, the light red dress sets off her snow-white complexion, the waist is tied with a ribbon, and the waist is not full enough to hold.
Lin Ran was fascinated by her clothes, Ah Liang seemed to have never dressed like this before, and it must be very good-looking for Xiu Niang to have her tailor-made for her back.
Zhao Fuyun walked down gracefully, with tenderness in his eyes, he said softly: "What's wrong with Patriarch Lin?"
"No, I have something to do with Mr. Xie's family, so I won't bother Miss Zhao, another day." Lin Ran directly refused, it was useless to tempt her.
She is invulnerable.
Lin Ran directly refused, which made Zhao Fuyun stunned, watching the two quickly leave the wine shop and disappear before his eyes.
Her eyes were darkened, her nails dug into her flesh, it really ruined her mind that such a little thing failed to fall for her repeatedly.
Xie Xing was dragged away by her inexplicably, got on his horse and said, "Little aunt, I haven't eaten lunch yet, where are I going?"
"Take you to a good place to eat." Lin Ran swung his whip and left, heading south of the city.
The place to eat is Xinyang Princess Mansion.
The two entered through the main entrance grandly, Xie Xing seldom came over, he was a little timid, and followed Lin, "Why did my little aunt come here for a meal? How could His Highness Xinyang let us eat a meal?"
"You'll know when we come, and besides, there are always people following us, which is very annoying." Lin Ran strode towards the flower hall, and the maidservant served tea, and enthusiastically asked the two to wait for a while.
Xinyang was not at the house, after the servant went to spread the word, she came back on horseback, followed by the dog skin plaster Changle.
After seeing the juniors in the hall, Chang Le asked curiously, "What are you two doing here?"
"What does His Highness Chang Le come here for, that's what we are here for." Lin Ran smiled, and Xie Xing who was beside him was too ashamed to speak.
"I'm here as a guest. It's not good for the two of you to grab a meal. Why do you come here? You're so courageous." Chang Le sat directly beside Lin Ran, stretched out his hand to grab her ear, and whispered to her: "In those few days King Ping can't stand up at all."
Xinyang went to the backyard to change his clothes, and ordered the maidservant to prepare a meal. Before leaving, he saw Changle's signal and signaled her to keep her mouth shut.
Chang Le ignored her, and still said that King Ping's leg was seriously injured, but Lin Ran didn't want to hear it, so he took the words: "Does your Highness know the side concubine of King Ping?"
"Which side concubine are you referring to?"
"Does King Ping have many side concubines?"
"About several of them. After removing the main concubine, he married a few side concubines for marriage, and some aunts who didn't have a jade certificate. He is the most chaotic in the backyard, and he has the most sons, seven or eight, and countless daughters. Already." Chang Le thought about it carefully, King Ping was chic and could make women happy, all of them were fascinated.
Lin Ran gossiped: "Is there a concubine Qiao who is not in good health?"
"Sister Qiao's?" Chang Le paused when he heard the words while holding the teacup, approached Lin Ran, and whispered, "Have you heard any rumors?"
"What rumor?" Lin Ran's scalp tightened. Is there a story?
Chang Le stretched out his hand and said, "I have to give money for listening to the story, 1 taels."
"This story is worth more than Princess Luo's?" Lin Ran was surprised. The last time it was only worth 2000 taels of silver, this time it was five times higher. Could it be that there is something shady about it.She subconsciously shook her head: "I'll go to His Highness Xinyang, and it won't cost me any money."
Having been deceived a lot, she thinks she knows Changle's tricks, so she might as well go to someone else without spending money.
Chang Le patted her on the head, "Why are you so stingy, just like your mother. I'll give you half the price, how about it?"
The two of them bargained for half a day like buying vegetables in a vegetable market, and finally settled for 1000 taels of silver.
Before Xinyang came, Chang Le said first: "Qiao Xiu fell in love with Luo Qing back then."
Sure enough, there was an abnormal story, Lin Ran sighed, and asked nervously, "Did King Ping know about it?"
"Naturally, after Luo Qing got married, King Ping went to ask Qiao Xiu to be his side concubine. Qiao Xiu seemed to disagree, but at that time the world was about to be settled. .”
Lin Ran understood, and could feel Qiao Xiu's dislike for Xinyang. She took away her beloved, and finally ignored her. It's hard not to hate her.
At this point, the maidservants filed in, put the prepared meals on the table, and several people sat in separate cases. Xie Xing was extremely restrained, and when he picked up the chopsticks, he didn't even notice to look up at Xinyang.
Seeing Chang Le laughing, he joked: "Xie Xing, does His Highness Xin Yang have three heads and six arms?"
Xie Xing was too ashamed to lift his head, "No, no."
"Since you don't have three heads and six arms, what are you afraid of? It's impossible for her to reveal her murderous aura. Looking at you like this, it's like a knife resting on your neck. You are extremely cowardly." Chang Le laughed.
Lin Ran ignored the two of them and buried himself in the food, Xinyang looked at the expressions of the two, "Where did you two come from?"
"The restaurant, the three princes drank too much, and no one paid the bill, so they came to me. I met the owner of Zhao's Embroidery Workshop and had nowhere to go. Why don't you come and disturb the princess." Lin Ran was very frank, and will see you in the morning Skip the matter about Qiao Xiu, so as not to embarrass His Highness Xinyang.
"Why do you have nowhere to go when you meet her?" Chang Le was puzzled, thinking of Zhao Fuyun's beauty, she put down her chopsticks and asked tentatively, "Have you taken a fancy to her?"
"His Highness Chang Le is tempted?" Lin Ran transferred the pot to her, thought for a while and said: "Then Zhao Fuyun's appearance and age are also suitable for His Highness, so you are not tempted?"
"Bah, shut up quickly, I keep myself clean and have no interest in others."
"Then don't talk about me." Lin Ran didn't like her always making jokes about herself. A Liang is a sensitive person, and there is a gap between him and her, so jokes can come true.
"Stingy." Chang Le said something casually, but Xin Yang, who was seated above, remained silent.
After lunch, Xie Xing was eager to leave, but Lin Ran and Chang Le stayed behind and drove away Xinyang. After the maid made a pot of tea, the two sat facing each other.
Changle got the money, so she must tell the whole story, "Qiao Xiu is extremely kind, just the opposite of Luo Qing's temperament. She is a lady in the boudoir, she has read poetry and books, and she is similar to Mu Liang, but Luo Qing is not you, she I don't like Qiao Xiu's temper."
Lin Ran held her chin in her hands, "Is Concubine Qiao misunderstood His Highness Xinyang?"
"People who are on good terms with the Luo family have no misunderstandings about her, so what if there are misunderstandings, they just talk about it, and Qiao Xiu gave birth to a daughter, and her temper does not follow her. You will know when you meet her. Qiao Xiu is a man of life. In the past, I'm afraid she would have looked up to you, and she has a delicate heart and is not in good health."
Although we haven't seen each other these years, Qiao Xiu has written many letters, and every word is about Luo Qing, which is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
No one cared about what happened back then. What Qiao Xiu missed was Luo Qing, but what kind of person was King Ping, how could he make his own woman miss others.
The relationship was so complicated that Lin Ran didn't bother to think about it anymore. After listening to the story for a while, he got up and said goodbye.
After returning to the mansion, Mu Liang was making pajamas in the house. The materials bought by Zhao's family had not been touched. Today, when he remembered nothing, he took them out and cut them.
There were only two people in the room, and Lin Ran was sitting by the side, staring at A Liang's hands, threading needles with grace, "A Liang, I met Qiao Xiu, the side concubine of Prince Ping, in the embroidery workshop today."
Mu Liang didn't know this person this time, and he didn't care about it, he just focused on getting his needlework done, "She made clothes?"
"I don't think so, it seems to be a trick to see me." Lin Ran raised her eyebrows, waiting for Ah Liang to be surprised.
After waiting for a while, Mu Liang didn't raise his head, nor was he surprised. After the needle was threaded, he said, "It's normal to see you, after all, you have money."
Although Lin Ran is not an official, he has been paying attention to what he has done all these years. It is not surprising that there is Zhao Fuyun in the front and Qiao Xiu in the back.
"She doesn't like me, and she doesn't want money. I heard that she likes Princess Luo."
"I like Princess Luo..." The needle in Mu Liang's hand trembled and couldn't go in. "Who is Qiao Xiu?"
"I only think she is your sister again, but when I think about it carefully, there is no prince with the surname Qiao among the Nine Kings. It must not be the case. After seeing Chang Le today, I realized that Qiao Xiu has not forgotten Princess Luo for so many years." Lin Ran restlessly leaned against her, feeling the needles and threads on the fabric, every stitch and thread was A Liang's.
Feeling very happy in her heart, she said again: "Ah Liang, you said that Qiao Xiu came to see me today, will there be another time?"
"People are looking for you? Mostly because they miss Princess Luo, just watching you get over their lovesickness, don't put gold on your face." Mu Liang was careless, and when the needle and thread passed through, there was an extra person beside his elbow, "Stay away from me If you have nothing to do, go play chess with Lin Si."
"It's rare for me to come back, why do you push me away, and you won't be angry if people look at me?" Lin Ran held her hand, snatched the needle and thread from her hand, and threw it aside.
Mu Liang's body was soft, but his strength was weak, and Lin Ran couldn't move even a little force, "Qi Concubine likes your mother, if I'm angry, it should be Xinyang."
"You're not angry, so let me tell you something that made you angry. When I went to pay my father today, I met Zhao Fuyun, and she invited me to have a drink together." Lin Ran hugged her, holding her hand in his arms. Squeezed her waist, smiled, "Ah Liang, it seems to be softer."
The former sentence is serious, but the latter is not serious. Mu Liang was angry and ashamed, but he couldn't get away from her, "What can I do to be angry, if you want to have three wives and four concubines like King Ping, what can I do."
"Ah Liang is very cute when she is angry." Lin Ran teased her, Mu Liang seemed docile, but deep down he was very paranoid, no matter how much he convinced him, he would never turn back.
Mu Liang was molested by her words, her ears turned red, thinking of her usual obedient temperament, she followed her, half leaning in her arms, "If you want to like others, I will not stop you you."
"Then give up your seat to someone else?" Lin Ran chuckled.
"Yeah." Mu Liang hummed lightly, as a response, she would not make Lin Ran hard to be a man.
"You are so generous, you don't mean what you say." Lin Ran saw through her self-deception, held her weak and boneless hands, and threatened her: "If you lie to yourself like this, big trouble will happen."
"What's the big deal?" Mu Liang's palms became hot from her coaxing the child. She usually coaxed her, but today it was the other way around. She was extremely uncomfortable.
Lin Ran plucked a few strands of hair from her ears, and blew: "Ah Liang, if you continue to be so generous, it will come true, and I will be unscrupulous. One day, it will be useless for you to cry."
Mu Liang is proud, and when the day comes, I'm afraid she won't cry, she is so stubborn that it makes people feel distressed.
"What do you mean?" Mu Liang couldn't understand what she said strangely, shouldn't he be more generous?
Lin Ran said: "Do you know that accidents are easy to happen when you look at those virtuous wives, the husbands are all three wives and four concubines, and they have no scruples. Then look at those courtiers who are like wives and slaves. There are shrews in their families. No other woman would dare."
"You compare me to a shrew?" Mu Liang reacted, and stretched out his hand to grab her ear, which was not a good comparison, so he insisted on comparing me to a shrew.
Lin Ran tilted his head and smiled, gently pushed the hand away, "I'll just teach you, who told you to say no to me every day."
"Is it my fault that you talk about Zhao Fuyun every now and then?" Mu Liang was angry. Seeing her pink face like a peach blossom, her anger dissipated again. After all, she couldn't seriously argue with her.
"Shouldn't I tell you? Telling you clearly is better than passing gossip into your ears and making you think wildly. Have you ever thought that so many chance encounters will never be a coincidence. "
Mu Liang fell silent, the reasoning seemed to be correct, after thinking about it, her ears felt warm, the warm feeling penetrated into her skin, and the rubbing between her teeth made her feel soft.
She stabilized her mind and said seriously: "Then will you let that kind of rumor appear?"
"Do your best not to let it go." Lin Ran half-assured, her white teeth gently rubbed against the delicate skin around her ears, her throat felt hot, and then said: "I like you to be jealous, why should you suppress yourself, wouldn't it be good to open your heart? "
She spoke softly, and Mu Jue sighed softly. She was older than Lin Ran, so she acted recklessly like her. She pursed the corners of her lips, and heard Xiao Guai mutter: "You want to save face, close the door, You belong to me alone, no one will laugh at you."
Mu Liang was amused by her, "Where is anyone begging to be jealous, you are possessed today."
"I'm obsessed with you, isn't it?"
"Where did the nonsense come from? Did you go to the Fuyun Tower and hear the unserious words?" Mu Liang was curious. It was fine to go out in the morning, but it would be unserious if you didn't see him for half a day.
"If I go, Jiu Niang has already asked you to arrest me. Will you let me go? She and Uncle have the same idea, and they want me to treat you well and keep myself clean. They are afraid that I will betray you. Treat me like a villain." Lin Ran was dissatisfied, everyone was waiting for her to like others and abandon Mu Liang as if they were watching a joke.
"You are a villain. In my eyes, you are the villain I raised." Mu Liang said seriously, sat up straight, and turned to look at her, "Are you under pressure?"
Lin Ran shook his head, "No, I'm afraid I didn't treat you well enough, and suddenly you left one day."
"Now that I'm married, where can I go? You're overthinking it." Seeing that her expression was wrong, Mu Liang touched her face, "What did Qiao Xiu tell you?"
"No, it's just some strange words, don't talk about it, let's go to bed." Lin Ran didn't mention it anymore, these things are too complicated, which makes people feel headache, especially the messy feelings of the previous generation.
She dragged Mu Liang to rest, but Mu Liang didn't want to, so he took the needle and thread, and had to think about making the pajamas, saying: "You go to sleep alone, and the pajamas can be used, if you delay, you won't be able to finish it."
"I'm not in a hurry, I have to rest when I'm tired." Lin Ran was too strong, and Mu Liang couldn't break free. He made three chapters first: "Then don't touch me."
"I won't touch you, just go to sleep." Lin Ran agreed, what happens after she gets on the bed is not up to A Liang.
She and Mu Liang had a good time during the day, Xinyang went to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to see Su Changlan, His Majesty did not say anything for a long time, still making people feel uneasy.
The Criminal Department is strict, and there are soldiers inside and outside the prison. After Xinyang entered, a jailer with bad legs and feet led her in.
The jailer held a lamp to illuminate the dim road in front of him, and stopped at the end of the road. He took out the key, and Xinyang suddenly said, "Did the former prince also live here?"
The jailer opened the key with a trembling hand, and answered with a bowed head, "Yes, this is the cell, and the prisoners are all big men."
"That's right, there are big people here." Xinyang sighed and strode in.
The jailer called Wang Qian, who had bad legs. After looking around, he went to the next cell to listen to their conversation.
Xinyang came empty-handed, which made Su Changlan a little disappointed. She sat upright on the bed with her back straight, and her clothes were neat and tidy. She didn't look embarrassed, which showed that the Ministry of Criminal Justice did not punish her.
She opened her eyes, looked at the person standing with her hands behind her back, and the corners of her mouth slanted up: "You won, the tower assassination move is absolutely seamless, pinching the lifeblood of the Su family."
"Whether you believe it or not, it's not me. I won't joke about the lives of dozens of courtiers." Xinyang looked calm, without too much emotion, and without a trace of pleasure.
Su Changlan got off the couch, stood up straight, stared at the calm person in front of him: "Do you think I will believe it?"
She knows Xinyang very well, so many years of love and hate have been entangled together, and the hatred has long since wiped out her upright heart. With so many things she has done since she came back, who else has the ability to plan? this matter.
"Whatever you think, I'm here to ask about the Luo family." Xinyang didn't want to stand, so he chose a place to sit down and softened his tired body.
The quieter she was, the more Su Changlan thought she was the one who did it, "Even if I die, I won't tell anything about the Luo family, I won't get you, and I won't let you feel at ease to admit that evil seed, you Think I'm a kind person?"
"Being able to lead troops to massacre [-] Luo family soldiers, will you be kind? After death, you will also go to the [-]th floor of hell." Xinyang said lightly.
The words angered Su Changlan, and he quickly walked over and grabbed her by the collar, and saw the throbbing veins in her neck at close range, "You forced me to be unkind, you treat me as nothing, Luo Qing is a barbaric person, vulgar Rudeness, that is her retribution."
Back then, she was the one who made a statement first, and she was the one who sat on the saddle beside Xinyang, so she almost broke her heart to show her, why did she let a barbaric woman take the lead when she treated her so wholeheartedly?
The others are fine, but it happens to be Luo Qing, who is as cunning as a poisonous snake.
She still refuses to accept it!
"Then today is also your retribution." Xinyang calmly pushed her hands away, straightened his clothes, and then slapped her with a slap, "How many people died in the Luo family, the Su family will pay double compensation, Luo After the public ownership, I will let your Su family have no children and grandchildren, this is my retribution for you."
"Chen Zhiyi!"
Su Changlan let out a low growl, clenched his fists with both hands, tried his best to suppress his anger, his cheeks were slightly swollen, and his facial expression was extremely distorted, "Don't think that you will win if I die, King Ping and Changle are not good people. Your Majesty will leave the country to you? What she wants is the Su family, not you, a powerful minister who has made great achievements in avenging his wife."
Xinyang's hand hurts. She used too much force just now, and her wrist was numb. Seeing her showing no remorse, she rubbed her wrist, "If you don't say it, you don't need to say it. This place treats you very well. You treat Lin The punishment that has been used, it is better to try it for yourself, if your Majesty asks, I will say that I did it, it is not a big deal, and no one will care about how the dying person dies."
Su Changlan trembled all over, watching her leave helplessly, with hatred in his eyes, love and hatred surged to his heart almost at the same time, there was no way to escape in the dark cell.
If she could leave, she would definitely go and catch Chen Zhiyi and tell her: she has no regrets.
After Xinyang walked out of the cell, Wang Qian also came out, following her step by step.
Before leaving the cell, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment came, she glanced at it, pretending to be unintentional and said: "The prisoner has not pleaded guilty, how did you do it in the past?"
The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishments trembled, and said in a low voice: "That's His Majesty's niece, use punishment..."
"The emperor broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people. What is she?" Xinyang rubbed his wrist, remembering what Lin Ran said about the family affairs of the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and smiled: "Don't forget what your son did. No one has discovered it yet."
Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment trembled even more, his face twitched, he bowed his head and said: "Your Highness, I know how to do it."
"I'm going to leave first, you treat her well." Seeing that the beating was okay, Xinyang ignored it and strode away.
She was a little curious, how did Lin Ran know about the official's house.
The author has something to say: Add updates, tomorrow is Devil’s Wednesday, no more.
It can be added the day after tomorrow.
Thank you for your feeding, and I bowed down for 1 minute to thank you.
