Rebirth: Hou Men's Noble Wife
Chapter 156: Praying Mantis Stalking Cicadas and Orioles Behind
Hong Ling's attention was completely attracted by Dongyang Zhoufan's hesitant words, so she didn't see Luo Fei's sneer at her.
Looking at Su Shiwan as if she was a little apologetic, Dongyang Zhoufan then said: "Actually, I had a fiancée, Liu Hui, who we were engaged to marry before. We have been in love since childhood. Although we knew we were an unmarried couple,
Always considered brother
We treat each other like sisters, but one day, Xiaohui suddenly came to me and asked me to save her. He said that Mr. Gu sent people to look for her everywhere and wanted to take her back to be his wife Gu Lezhen. Xiaohui and I were childhood sweethearts.
Of course I didn't want to. I was a scholar at the time.
I didn’t have any real power in my hands, so I thought that as long as Xiaohui didn’t want to, Gu Lezhen wouldn’t bother me if I asked her father to come forward. Unexpectedly, before I had time to see my busy father, Gu Lezhen came from the streets.
I was angry and angry at the time when Lechun kidnapped people in the teahouse, but when I went to look for him, I found that Gu Lechun had many officers and soldiers, and he didn’t see the little boy at all.
Hui, in desperation, I went to beg my father. Unexpectedly, my father knew about it a long time ago. He also said that the emperor had made Xiaohui his concubine and asked me to forget everything between me and Xiaohui. Soon, Xiaohui's father was investigated and found to be corrupt and perverting the law.
, the whole family was expelled from the army, and although Xiaohui was not implicated in the palace, soon I heard that Xiaohui was so sad that she fell ill and passed away."
"Could you be talking about the Liu Hong case that caused a lot of commotion in Beijing a few years ago?" Luo Fei patted Dongyang Zhoufan on the shoulder to express comfort.
Dongyang Zhoufan nodded and took a sip of wine, "Well, it is indeed Uncle Liu's case. However, I still don't believe that it was Uncle Liu who was corrupt and perverted the law. It must be Gu Lezhen who hated Uncle Liu for robbing him.
The matter of the civilian daughter came to the emperor, so, that’s why I took revenge.”
"It's possible what you said Zhoufan." Baili Moyuan pondered.
Hong Ling on the side was silent. Dongyang Zhoufan was really stupid. If it hadn't been for his own marquis, the Liu family would have been slaughtered. Would they have just been exiled to the army?
It's true that Lu Dongbin doesn't recognize a good heart.
"Since this is the case, then Zhoufan you should attack Gu Lezhen, and make sure to ruin his reputation." Luo Fei said fiercely.
Hong Ling's heart skipped a beat. Why did Luo Fei look at him like that when he said this?
After coming out of Luo Fei's place, Hong Ling took Xiao Yue and Bitao back to the carriage in Dongyang Mansion. After leaving Xiao Yue and Bitao, Hong Ling was alone in the carriage thinking about her own affairs.
It seems that I need to find time to see Mr. Hou again.
After the carriage came to a stop, Hongling didn't find the right time to see Gu Lezhen.
Seeing a large group of servants moving their belongings, Hong Ling was arranged by the palace staff in a fairly elegant palace because she stood in Su Shiwan's face and was Dongyang Zhoufan's first wife.
Following her father-in-law who was leading the way, Hong Ling saw from a distance that Gu Lezhen and other princes were meandering towards the main hall following the Holy Master.
I don’t know if Young Master Han Xing has seen the Marquis. Things seem to be deviating from the Marquis’ arrangements. Who is behind this? Luo Fei? Baili Moyuan? They don’t seem to be alike. The two of them have been observing and paying attention.
There is nothing strange at all, but who is fighting against the power of the Marquis in the dark?
Hong Ling entered her palace with worry.
Asking Bitao to take a piece of silver to the father-in-law who was leading the way, and send it out in person, Hongling then ordered Xiaoyue to bring hot water, and she wanted to take a good hot bath. After traveling for several days, there were many people along the way.
After the drought, there was no water source at all, so only the royal family and high-ranking officials had their own water for washing.
With someone like Su Shiwan, she was not qualified to receive water for bathing. At most, she could only receive a little water to wash her face every day.
Xiao Yue and Bi Tao were both gone. Hong Ling, who often wandered on the edge of life and death, began to observe the place where he was about to live for a month, and found out exactly where he could hide people and where he could quickly escape.
That night, a large-scale party was held in the palace. Due to something else, Hongling declined the proposal to attend with Dongyang Zhoufan, saying that he was exhausted and felt a little unwell.
Bi Tao was helping Hong Ling remove her hair while chatting, "Mrs. Madam, I heard there are a lot of delicious food and many interesting shows tonight, why don't you go?"
If Bi Tao believes that the young lady is tired, Bi Tao doesn't believe it. This means that she has not seen the young lady's true tiredness. Even if sometimes her tired eyes are half-closed, she is not really tired.
But I don't want to talk, I want to be alone.
Bitao knew this very well.
"Oh, I just don't want to go."
"Young madam, are you angry? Do you blame the eldest young master for neglecting young madam when they were newly married because of the deceased Miss Liu Hui?" Although Bi Tao was asking, she had actually made up her mind. It seemed that at that time
The eldest young master doesn't hate the young madam that much, but it's just hard to let go of old feelings.
"I didn't realize that the eldest young master is also an infatuated person. But now, young madam, do you like the eldest young master or... or... or Mr. Gu?"
"Master Gu" was spoken in such a low voice by Bitao that only Hongling could hear it.
How should I answer? It seems that Su Shiwan has no secrets at all in front of her girl?
According to Bitao, does Bitao already know about the affair between Su Shiwan and her Marquis?
Hong Ling hesitated in her heart and didn't know how to answer. She was afraid that Bi Tao would notice something because of her answer. Although her disguise was exactly the same as Su Shiwan's, she had also secretly observed Su Shiwan's speaking manner and thought she could imitate it.
Falsehood can be confused with truth, but I don't understand Su Shiwan's life, what she said or what she did.
The so-called misfortune comes from the mouth is just like this.
Seeing that Su Shiwan was silent, Bi Tao thought that his young lady was being shy, and immediately said as if she understood: "Oh, young lady, Bitao knows. In fact, the young lady has been ready to leave for a long time, how could she like the big lady?"
Young Master, even though the eldest young master is much nicer to the young madam now, he is still not as considerate as Mr. Gu, right?"
Thinking of the black loach next to Mr. Gu who was stammering and speechless when he got angry, Bi Tao couldn't help but laugh out loud.
After hearing Bitao's words, Hongling couldn't help but feel relieved. She nodded with a smile, "Well, Bitao is right. We will have to leave sooner or later."
"However, young madam, didn't you say that you would take Liu Xia with you when you came out this time? Why didn't you take her with you? Now that we have arrived at the palace, tonight... tonight... do you want me to serve you personally, young madam?
······Serve the young master?”
Bi Tao stammered, her face flushed with embarrassment.
Hong Ling's heart tightened. Is there any hidden secret here?
"Liu Xia..." Hongling paused deliberately, looking at Bitao as if encouraging Bitao to continue speaking.
Fei Hongling's inducement was in vain, Bitao looked at the room with a vigilant look on her face, and saw that she and Su Shiwan were the only ones in the room. She said mysteriously: "Young Madam, didn't you say that you have to keep Liu Xia pretending to be...
Are you serving the eldest young master? Do you no longer resist the eldest young master’s approach? "
Su Shiwan had told Bitao, Xiaoyue and Xiaosha before that one of the reasons why she couldn't personally serve Dongyang Zhoufan and take on the responsibility of being a wife was that she had given her body to Gu Lezhen and couldn't do it.
To the second person, the second one was that he felt disgusted when he met Dongyang Zhoufan's closeness. He was afraid of offending Dongyang Zhoufan, so he wanted to take advantage of Liu Xia.
The two reasons why this was true and false convinced Bitao, Xiaoyue and others to believe it.
Hong Ling's eyes flashed with a stern look. It seemed that Su Shiwan and Dongyang Zhoufan had never been married at all. I wonder if the Marquis would laugh three times with joy if he told the news?
"Oh, there are other reasons for not bringing Liu Xia here. As for the matter of serving the eldest young master, I think there is no need for me to worry about it now. Master Luo and Prince Moyuan should really worry about it."
"Ah? What do you mean, young lady?"
"It's not interesting. You'll know in a few days. Let's go down first. I want to stay alone for a while."
Bi Tao looked at Su Shiwan suspiciously. She always felt that the young lady now was different from before, but Bi Tao couldn't tell what was different. She was obviously the same person, so why did she always give her the same appearance?
To this other complete stranger?
When going out, Bitao carefully closed the door. The doubts in her heart did not decrease, but instead increased.
When she wanted to go back to the servant's room, she happened to see Xiao Yue in front of her. Bi Tao couldn't help shouting: "Xiao Yue, Xiao Yue."
Xiao Yue turned around and saw Bitao running towards her. She couldn't help but look behind the shadow of the tree. Seeing that there was no movement behind, she waved to Bitao.
"I'm not here, why are you running so fast?" Xiao Yuedian asked strangely.
While panting, she held Xiao Yue's arm and walked forward, "I'm afraid you didn't hear me." As she said that, Bi Tao couldn't help but look aside, "By the way, Xiao Yue, where did you just want to go?"
?Why did I see you want to go to the rockery?" Then he stretched out his hand and pointed to the side.
Xiao Yue's heart moved, and she couldn't help but speed up the pace of Bitao's feet, "Where am I? I just want to go back to the room to rest quickly. I don't want to go over there. It's probably because it's dark and you're dazzled."
"Did I really see it wrong?"
"Yes, you are wrong...Okay, okay...I'm so tired, let's go back and rest quickly. It's better for the young lady not to go to the dinner party. If we go, we will
I can’t rest anymore.”
