First Concubine

Chapter 147 The real murderer is exposed (3)

What's strange about Shui Linglong is that when Leng Youru bought the Zihe car for the first time, the prince didn't know Liu Lu. In other words, Liu Lu was an unplanned product, commonly known as "temporary cannon fodder", and since Liu Lu was With the temporary cannon fodder taking the blame, why didn't Leng Youru simply kill the prince, but simply hope that the prince would never wake up?

 Can’t figure it out, just don’t think about it! Anyway, the princess's time bomb was defused, and she was so happy that she wanted to roll on the bed!

 Entering the Mohe Courtyard, all the servants' expressions changed when they saw her. Different from the pretentious flattery in the past, the respect this time was more genuine than gold.

 “Good luck to the Crown Princess!” The maids and women saluted in unison!

Shui Linglong raised her eyebrows, said "Yeah", walked through the hall and returned to the backyard.

As soon as he entered the bedroom, Zhuge Xi came with Brother Ji, Brother Xin and Sister Hui. At the same time, Ye Mao, who had returned from Guo Mansion, stepped into the courtyard.

Shui Linglong took Zhuge Xi and the three babies to the Nuan Pavilion. The earth dragon in the Nuan Pavilion burned better than the bedroom, and there was a hot kang, so the children were more comfortable to stay.

Ji Geer was sleeping soundly on the bed. He was making a lot of noise and fell into a deep sleep. Zhuge Xi put Sister Hui, who was looking left and right, with her eyes open, next to Brother Ji, and then picked up Brother Xin, who was half asleep, with eyes full of adoration.

Shui Linglong handed the gilt multi-frame fruit plate to Zhuge Xi and said gently, "Sister, please eat some preserved fruit."

Zhuge Xi glanced at it and said casually: "No, I ate too much in the morning and haven't digested it yet. I was forced to eat a lot of sweets in grandma's yard just now. I'm holding on."

Shui Linglong put the fruit plate on the small coffee table between the two of them, and teased Sister Hui herself. Sister Hui put her thumb in her mouth and sucked it non-stop. Shui Linglong took her left hand away, and she immediately used it With his right hand, Shui Linglong held down both of her little arms, and she couldn't stop sucking him! But she didn't cry and just spit out milk bubbles.

Shui Linglong smiled, let go of her hand, sat up straight and said, "Both Sister Hui and Brother Xin are quite quiet, just like the brothers-in-law, but Brother Ji is like the eldest sister."

Zhuge Xi glanced at her sideways, pretending to be angry and said: "You are looking for a fight, little girl! You turned around and called me mean, right?"

Shui Linglong smiled, her eyebrows and eyes curved, like the bright crescent moon in the night: "Sister, you said this yourself!"

Zhuge Xi curled his lips and did not continue joking with Shui Linglong, but said seriously: "To be honest with you, sister, you have suspected that you are sleeping with the princess, right? Since when?"

Shui Linglong said without changing her expression and without a beating heart: "Sister, do you still remember that the news spread like wildfire that Prince An had celebrated their marriage in Kashgar?"

Zhuge Xi's eyes trembled: "You know it too? Who said that?"

Shui Linglong answered truthfully: "That day I went to Yao Mansion to deliver clothes to my nephew, and I happened to meet the eldest princess. The eldest princess told me about it and asked me if it was true or false. I told her that I didn't I heard it, but I don’t know.”

Zhuge Xi shouted: "Scheming guy! If you can't pry my mouth open, I'll find you to trick me!"

Shui Linglong continued: "The second aunt thought that I had spread the news, so she kept her cool for a few days. Later, I found the second aunt and had a heart-to-heart talk with her, and then I guessed that the news was leaked by the princess. The princess First, she arranged for two young men to discuss the matter at Huangji Restaurant, where Mrs. Wu often frequented. Mrs. Wu deliberately overheard the incident. At the same time, she arranged for Anping to go to the location of the incident. The second aunt checked the mansion based on Mrs. Wu's description. The servants here naturally became suspicious of Anping. It happened that during that time Zhuge Yu went south, and the second aunt thought that Anping was instigated by me. It was at that time that I found out that you and Zhuge Yu were not actually the princess's biological child. "

Zhuge Xi felt a chill in her heart. She didn't expect that such a problem had ever happened in the house! After a while, Zhuge Xi sighed slowly: "It's not that we hide our life experience from you, but no one wants to mention that past. Yan'er died, and no one felt comfortable. Especially Yu'er, he always felt He had robbed his younger brother of his life, so he tried very hard to honor the princess in Yan'er's place. Even if he had a red-faced argument with his father, he would stop immediately if the princess said a word. But this time, even Yu'er would not forgive her. "

Shui Linglong lowered her eyes.

Zhuge Xi seemed to realize that the topic was too heavy, so he smiled and said, "You and Yu'er live a good life. Everything in the past is like yesterday's death. You have to look back. Do you understand?"

Shui Linglong was very sensible and considerate and said: "Yes, I understand."

Zhuge Xi kissed Brother Xin who fell asleep, then took Shui Linglong's hand and whispered: "Today is Yu'er's birthday. I wanted to take the children to see him, but he hasn't come back yet at this hour. , I have to go back. Yu’er doesn’t have the habit of celebrating birthdays, but I think it’s still necessary to let you know.”

Shui Linglong blinked in surprise. No wonder Zhuge Xi had to take the children back home despite the heavy snow. Today is Zhuge Yu’s birthday!

Zhuge Xi stood up, called two wet nurses, and picked up Sister Hui and Brother Ji respectively. Brother Xin was sleeping soundly in her arms. She hugged him with her right hand and freed her left hand to touch Brother Ji's neck. Just in time, not sweating and not cold, I smiled with relief and planned to leave: "When the weather gets warmer, we can walk more. You don't have to worry about the pregnancy. Sometimes you are not in trouble, but it is not easy to conceive when you are stressed. Father, please do your best." "Xiao, I have discussed with my grandma about the middle child in the house, and she will arrange it. You don't have to rush for some things. When Yu'er inherits the title, the mistress can only be you."

 These words... seem to be trying to persuade her!

Shui Linglong smiled gently: "Yeah, okay."

Zhuge Xi looked at the door and said, "I'll take Mother Yuan away, and you can send someone to take care of the small kitchen. No one is playing tricks, and I don't need to worry about the food."

Shui Linglong nodded and stood up to see her off. Zhuge Xi waved his hand: "No, it's windy outside."

Shui Linglong ordered Zhi Fan to **** Zhuge Xi to the second entrance, and then returned to the bedroom, where Ye Mao was already waiting.

Ye Mao bowed to Shui Linglong, then helped the pale Shui Linglong sit down on the chair, and asked with concern: "Miss, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm just a little sleepy, but it's not uncomfortable." Shui Linglong leaned on the back of the chair, raised her hand to rub her dizzy head, and said with force, "Is there any news from Guo Mansion?"

Ye Mao replied: "Oh, yes, General Guo brought the third princess back from the temple, and the servant personally delivered the gift to the third princess's bedroom. The third princess said thank you to the eldest lady, and she will come to see you another day when she has time. "

Shui Linglong's heart dropped to the ground. Finally, she was safe. As for whether the queen would get angry, that was not her concern. There was no news outside that the third princess had run away. I think the queen had blocked the news, and perhaps even the emperor had hidden it. She understands and is grateful that the third princess is infatuated with Guo Yan, but her method is wrong. If she were Mrs. Guo, she would have to be whipped several times!

In the third princess's bedroom, Mrs. Guo stood beside the third princess in shock, clutching her front and gasping for breath: "Yun Yao, have you endured any hardships along the way?"

The third princess shook her head calmly: "No." She looked at Guo Yan, who had a cold face, and added, "Thank you for your concern, mother. I'm really fine."

If the person who caused trouble this time was not a princess, she would have put him in a Buddhist hall and grounded him for a month. Mrs. Guo forced out a gentle smile and asked: "Are you injured?" The most important thing is, did you meet anyone who did anything wrong?

 The third princess shook her head again: "No."

Mrs. Guo then said, "You should rest early. I will send someone to the palace to report to the Queen that you are safe."

"No need, mother, I've already sent someone." After Guo Yan said seriously, he glanced at the third princess, unable to hide his irritation! Who does she think she is? Without any brains or means, she dared to run away with a maid who was even stupider than her? Isn't she afraid of feeding the wolf along the way?

Mrs. Guo held Guo Yan’s hand and winked, indicating that he had something to say.

Guo Yan bowed to Mrs. Guo, and then looked sideways at the third princess. The third princess was stunned, looking at what she was doing? Soon, she realized that her mother-in-law was leaving, and Guo Yan was hinting to her to send her off with a courtesy.

snort! She is a princess, why should she salute a commoner?

 For Guo Yan’s sake, Mrs. Xu Guo was very kind and generous by calling her by her first name!

Furthermore, don’t think she didn’t notice when Guo Yan glared at her just now!

If you dare to look down on her, she will look down on everyone!

 The third princess turned her face away and pretended not to see it.

Guo Yan became angry because of embarrassment. Mrs. Guo held Guo Yan's hand and shook her head.

If the third princess dares to be wild with Linglong, Linglong doesn’t care whether she is the queen’s legitimate daughter or not, there must be hundreds of ways to torture her so that she doesn’t even dare to beg her father to complain to her grandma. Mrs. Guo has never been on the battlefield, and she has never been a queen. After all, his confidence and means are somewhat lacking, but since he has taken over Guo Yan's body, he has the obligation to complete Guo Yan's life.

 He personally escorted Mrs. Guo out of the courtyard.

After the third princess washed herself, she sat on the bedside and waited for Guo Yan. When Guo Yan entered the room, she was wiping her wet hair with a towel. She handed the towel to Guo Yan and said confidently: "Wipe it for me!"

Guo Yan was too lazy to pay attention to her and walked directly into the clean room.

The third princess threw the towel on the bedside table, chased after her angrily, and pushed open the door that Guo Yan was about to close: "Guo Yan, what do you mean?"

Guo Yan didn't say anything, and only used a little force to remind her to get out of the way.

The third princess was so furious that she resisted closing the door: "Guo Yan, are you deaf or mute? I'm talking to you! Why are you ignoring me?"

Guo Yan didn't want to quarrel with her. He felt that he would scold her as soon as he opened his mouth!

Since he was not allowed to take a shower, he simply refused to do so. Guo Yan walked past her expressionlessly.

If Guo Yan quarreled with her, the third princess might not be so angry. As a woman, when she is depressed, a man has to help her vent it out. The more she gets stuck, the angrier she gets, and the more she gets angrier, the more congested she becomes. Then all kinds of things have no impact on reality. Everything came to mind, causing an overwhelming amount of negative emotions.

The third princess felt so wronged that her nose was sore, and there were tears in her eyes: "Guo Yan, you are a grown man bullying me, are you ashamed?"

When Guo Yan heard that something was not right, he turned around slightly and saw the third princess squatting on the ground, burying her head in her arms...crying!

The third princess cried more and more passionately: "Do you know how much hardship I have suffered along the way? I am a weak woman who has no strength to tie a chicken, and I have traveled thousands of miles to find my husband. Is it easy for me? I haven't seen you for so many days, don't you? Forget it, you are so indifferent to me! Did I marry into the Guo family to be angry? You don’t even know that I was almost…”

 “How are you being treated?” Guo Yan’s brows furrowed!

The third princess was afraid that Guo Yan would misunderstand that someone had touched her body, so she thought about it and decided to put the accident into her stomach: "I almost got eaten by a wolf!"



The third princess was really aggrieved now. She stood up, pointed her index finger at his face, and said with tears in her eyes: "Guo Yan, what did you just say? Say it again if you can!"

Guo Yan's mouth moved, but his reason prevailed: "I'll sleep in the study tonight!"

The third princess became anxious when she heard this. When Guo Yan passed by the imperial concubine's couch, she bit her lip, followed him in a few steps and threw him on the couch. Then she straddled him with her slender legs.

The friction of his body and the soft and warm touch slowly stimulated his senses through the clothes. There was an instant reaction. Guo Yan's face turned red and he was shocked: "What are you doing?"

The third princess was poked, her face turned red, but she said indifferently: "You haven't finished what you did last time, you owe me a bridal chamber!"

 …

In Xianglan Courtyard, Qiao Hui took out a few side dishes she had made by herself from the food box and placed them on the dining table, including twice-cooked pork, stir-fried cauliflower, cold fungus, and sweet and sour fish.

It is said that she made it by herself, but in fact she stood in the dining room and moved her mouth. There was a dedicated mother to do the selection, washing, cutting and cooking of vegetables. These twists and turns meant that Mrs. Zhen understood that the same was true when she paid filial piety to the old lady, so , no one needs to make requests to anyone.

Zhen Shi sat down with a smile. Qiao Hui stretched out her slender green fingers, set out the bowls and chopsticks, took a pair herself, and began to serve Zhen Shi.

Zhen picked up a piece of sweet and sour fish with chopsticks and took a small bite. It was soft, tender and juicy, with a slightly sweet and sour taste in the salt. It was very refreshing. After Zhen swallowed it, she showed a satisfied look: " Yes, Ming'er also likes to eat fish, but he doesn't like the sweet and greasy taste. Braised fish is more suitable. "

 Qiao Hui secretly wrote it down.

Her daughter-in-law was willing to serve her, so she did not hesitate to give her advice to help her win her son's heart. Zhen felt good about herself, "Also, Ming'er has read many famous works by Jiangnan scholars since she was a child, and she yearns for the water town of Jiangnan in her heart. You can actually change the style of the screen or something like that... Also, you don’t need to be so flashy in your clothes, it’s better to be fresher..."

Ms. Zhen rambled on some more, and Qiao Hui wrote them down one by one.

After finishing the meal, Mrs. Zhen looked at Qiao Hui and smiled meaningfully: "Our second wife's good days are coming soon, just wait!"

  Qiao Hui doesn’t know why, isn’t the second room always very good? Why did the mother-in-law say this?

"Okay, get out of the way, I'll do it myself." In the small kitchen of Mo Heyuan, Shui Linglong **** her homemade floral apron, took the washed lettuce from Zhi Fan and Ye Mao, and put it on the chopping board , cut it very skillfully, Zhi Fan and Ye Mao were stunned, the eldest lady’s knife skills are so good? Comparable to some chefs!

Although Shui Linglong is selfish and arrogant, she is also down-to-earth and hard-working. She is a strong-willed and soft-spoken type who can work both on the battlefield and in the kitchen. Moreover, she always enjoys it. She flashed the bright kitchen knife, raised her eyebrows, and hummed with a smile: "Look, I will show you my skills today!"
