134 Trip to the Prime Minister's Mansion II
At the luxurious and luxurious banquet, the guests and hosts had a great chat. Lin Jingyu took good care of the two elders of the Yun family, and the mother of the prime minister, Liu Susu, also had a lot of joy on her face.
The Prime Minister's wife is surnamed Wang, and she is a sister of the same royal family as the mother of the Yun family. The former is the wife of the Wang family, the eldest son of the Jiangnan genius Wang family, and the latter is the second son of the second son. The two share the same grandfather and are considered cousins. They are very close to each other. After they get married, they are women and they have become a habit of living in simplicity. Moreover, the Liu family and the Yun family are far apart. It takes at least a month to travel back and forth. In the first few years, the two of them occasionally return to their mothers.
I visited my family for a few days, chatting about the past and chatting about family matters, but it was not considered a distant thing. But after a long time, the children were born one after another, and they were both mistresses, who were in charge of the family's internal affairs. If I couldn't find time to go back to my parents' home to visit my family, I slowly broke off contact. Except for the Yun family who came to say hello when they opened a semicolon in the capital, and offered good gifts to the Liu Mansion during the holidays, there was no other contact.
The two ladies were involved again, but it was Miss Yunyue, the third lady of the Yun family, who took the initiative to visit her aunt in the capital and stayed in the prime minister's house during the period. Then, Yunyue met the current emperor, and Liu Susu, who was ignorant of the sinister hearts, generously matched the couple with this resentment, which led to many things that happened later.
What is regrettable is that in less than two years, the sisters who were with the emperor, one died and the other fell out of favor. Instead, the irrelevant others took a big advantage. This irrelevant person - naturally, refers to the ex-maid of Concubine Jin, who was favored by the young king, Yun Yue.
Thinking of all the past, the two Lady Wang's faces were not very good-looking, but they were comforted in their hearts: Fortunately, it was not their daughter who turned against her in the harem, otherwise, the faces of the old sisters would be left to show others. The only way today is to rely on the Yun family to raising Jingyue, that is, Concubine Jin now has kindness to raise her, and let Concubine Jin help Susu in the harem, so that the emperor can divide her mind on Susu. As long as Susu successfully attracts the emperor's attention and lets the emperor stop her again, are they still afraid that she will not be able to ascend to the throne? After all, Concubine Jin has a humble background and cannot compete for that position. Besides, she is not the closest relative of the Yunliu family, so who is probably going to be in his heart! It is still the biological daughter (niece) reliable! (Everyone doesn't know that Liu Susu, Miss Yun's and Maid have turned against each other.)
"Empress, please..."
After dinner, when the men were enjoying the refreshment, they left a bunch of women to chat with without any trouble. They were led by maids to the flower hall and each sat down. Other women who were not very close to each other - such as concubines and relatives' wives and daughters, were all taken to another room to play flower cards and dice, separated from these four masters.
Lin Jingyu knew that they had something to say to him, sat upright and showed the demeanor of the concubine.
"Empress..." The mother of the Yun family wanted to speak but stopped, as if she had a hidden secret. Lin Jingyu smiled and said gently: "Madam, don't be restrained, just call me Jingyue." As you wish, just call me whatever you like. If this makes you feel better, it doesn't matter what you call me. Anyway, all this has nothing to do with me.
"Jingyue, you are willing to call me Madam. I feel so happy! Madam is right. You have always been a sensible child since you were young..." Mrs. Wang cried with joy, her eyes were slightly red, and tears appeared in her eyes. It can be seen that Lin Jingyu's concessions were still very useful, which made her regain a little confidence and pride.
Lin Jingyu laughed silently, with curved eyebrows and eyes, and a calm smile appeared on his face, adding a lot of color to the thin face with a pointed chin.
"Mrs. The Yun family has always treated Jingyue well, sheltering the wind and rain for Jingyue. The great kindness of the Yun family is unforgettable." He opened his thin lips lightly, his voice was gentle, like the warm spring breeze. He was not arrogant, unrest, without sorrow, and without resentment, as if he was telling other people's affairs. Originally - it was indeed someone else's affairs. No matter what promise, he would not swear in the name of the royal family. When he had nothing to do, he would play with them.
When Mrs. Wang heard this, she was playing a slap in her heart, and she couldn't figure out the girl's thoughts. She raised her eyes and looked at her girl.
The Prime Minister sighed secretly. Such a quiet and docile child knows how to judge the situation, advance and retreat in moderation, and treats others kindly. No wonder the emperor likes it. Even herself wants such a well-behaved daughter! Thinking of this, she looked at her daughter who was sitting beside her and kept saying a cold face. She glared at her angrily, but she did not get any reaction from the other party. The Prime Minister's wife was a little sad and depressed, and her tone couldn't help but feel sad:
"Su Su, look at the girl your third cousin recognizes, how good the temperament is! He is gentle and virtuous, and generous. You should learn more from her. The two of them help each other and have a companion in the palace, so I won't teach them to underestimate them!" The "they" in this sentence naturally refers to other concubines.
Lin Jingyu raised his eyebrows.
‘The girl I recognized by my third cousin’? This is fresh. He never knew that Yun Yue had a Jinlan with Jingyue.
It was not that he had seen the two wives secretly exchanged glances just now, but he didn't expect that Yunyue's mother was also such a woman who was tempted by the incest. It seemed that before he arrived at the prime minister's mansion, the two men reached some consensus. In other words, the Yunliu family reached a certain degree of understanding for the common interests. Yunyue had just five months old... Yun's father and Yunmu were already gray in their temples, which shows that they were very sad and indeed doting on this young daughter. But since they loved her, why did they still have to get involved with the Liu family? Don't they know that the death of their daughter has a great relationship with the Liu family? Although Jingyue also played a role in fueling the fire...
Thinking of his current identity, Lin Jingyu felt very uncomfortable. He wanted to kill Jingyue himself and avenge Yunyue, but he could not really commit suicide. It's really a hateful! There is also that young master who has not found his trace yet, which makes him feel even more uncomfortable.
Just in such a dazed moment, Liu Susu seemed to have said something. It was obvious that she was very impatient and full of resentment on her face. Lin Jingyu looked at her with the eyes of her enemies. Lin Jingyu was secretly surprised. The wife of the prime minister was a little angry and scolded:
"Su Su! How can you say this! Although your cousin did not really make Jinlan with Concubine Jin, he also treated her as a girl! Otherwise, why did he keep her by his side and sleep and eat together? When it comes to the caring girl, his mother wants to ask you: What mistake did Yuan'er make? You actually want to kill her?! When you were a child, because you were always used to Yuan'er's service, you never wanted to pretend to be someone else's hands. Every time Yuan'er is not here, you will be unhappy..." Before he finished speaking, his voice was already choked.
Because there are many parents and children in the family, only one daughter. The Prime Minister and his wife simply hold Liu Susu like a pearl in their palms. They also like the sensible Yuan'er and treat Yuan'er as another daughter. They almost burn incense and worship in the ancestral hall and write it into the genealogy. However, Yuan'er's surname is given to Liu, which is enough to illustrate the problem.
As soon as this topic was opened, the atmosphere on the scene became solemn.
Mrs. Wang looked at her niece and couldn't believe it. Lin Jingyu pricked up his ears and waited to listen to the gossip.
Looking at everyone's reaction, Liu Susu smiled inexplicably, "Does it take a reason to kill a disobedient slave in this palace?" Her beautiful phoenix eyes kept aiming at "Empress Jin Concubine" with a hint of evil spirit, and she looked straight at Lin Jingyu, which made a chill out of the soles of her feet, and she felt uncomfortable all over.
Something is wrong. Liu Susu is now very wrong...
What he feels like - how do you say it? It's so different from before.
In Lin Jingyu's impression, Liu Susu is a bold, spoiled and unrestrained girl. She talks with her everything and can't hide her worries on her face. As long as she goes out, she will be chivalrous and righteous. She often spends money everywhere, which makes them often targeted by some young kids. If it weren't for the escorts hiding in the dark, they would probably be plundered and empty every time they go out. However, even if they are not cheated and robbed, Liu Susu, a fool, would have spent all his money before going home. He... wouldn't be much better.
Su Su is careless, although she is arrogant, she is not tricky and weird; although she is lively and active, she will not cause trouble everywhere; although she spends money like flowing water, she is mostly the element of giving alms; although she has beaten, scolded and scolded others, she is a villain who really makes mistakes and deserves sin...
Now she - her temper is twisted, her face is gloomy, she treats others indifferently, cruel and tyrannical, and takes other people's pain for granted...
It’s not that I don’t know the news from Qixia Palace, but the harem is too big, there are too many things, and the relationship is too complicated. The concubines are in a bad mood and find an excuse to scold the palace maids and attendants. Occasionally, not everyone is as generous as Concubine De, and is mainly preaching. Even the Yufei, who has the best skills on the surface, has once attacked the palace maids and eunuchs in her palace. The reason is very simple - those people are scammers and undercover sent by the Empress of another palace. She is just cleaning up the restless factors around her and leaving a safe environment for herself. This is understandable.
But killing the dowry girl brought by the family - this is the first time since the founding emperor founded the country. Who has never tried his best to lure the emperor to stay on him for a while? If the girl around him was attracted by the emperor, he would have hoped that she would raise her white, fat, beautifully pack her hands to show her loyalty, and how could she kill the girl who would be helpful to him!
If a person wants to kill, he must have a motive for killing. So, what is Liu Susu’s motive for killing?
When she first entered the palace, she killed a cook because she instructed the cook to poison her late-night snack, which hurt her all night. Afterwards, she was very surprised that she could find out the facts as soon as possible, but she also indirectly reflected that the lid liner placed in the Liu family in the harem should not be underestimated.
Then I punished myself as a palace maid... I did a little too much. If it weren't for her making such a fuss, the fake emperor wouldn't have paid attention to him, and he wouldn't have been protected by "him" later...
However, Liu Susu hated Jingyue just because Jingyue was the maid of the Yun family - this reason was too far-fetched.
So, why hate Yuan'er?
Yuan'er...
A sentence suddenly flashed through Lin Jingyu's mind—
