The faint morning mist in the mountains and the deep and shallow peach blossom colors in the palace add an irresistible gentleness to the deeply rooted buildings around it.
Wei Lan'er picked a peach blossom stained with morning dew and had a great time playing with it. Just as he was about to speak, Li Qingyi suddenly reached out and "shushed" and whispered: "There seems to be movement over there."
Wei Lan'er was startled, listened carefully, and exclaimed in a low voice, "Why does it sound like the second sister's voice? I didn't expect the second sister to sneak out to play! Come on, let's catch her!"
Li Qingyi looked at Wei Lan'er who was quietly approaching the rockery, curled his lips with a smile, and then quietly walked over.
Wei Baozhu's voice came from the rockery.
"Cousin, you and your second cousin are no longer the only ones in the Nanning Marquis Mansion! Ever since the eldest brother adopted an heir, the second and third cousins have shown weakness again and again! What happened last time has made my grandfather very disappointed in you. If this continues, you will Being abandoned by the Marquis Mansion, are you really willing to be treated as an outcast?"
The tone of Wei Baozhu's voice was aggressive, faintly coming from the rockery. It was not like the second girl of the Wei family who usually smiled at everyone she saw.
Wei Laner turned back to look at Li Qingyi in confusion and shock. Li Qingyi tugged at her to tell her to leave quickly.
Wei Laner held her back, frowning and continued to listen to the conversation inside.
Another voice came from the rockery, "Lin Yue is an adopted child after all..."
"Adoption? Everyone is already on the family tree, so what about the adopted one? If grandpa valued you more, he wouldn't have adopted him to the eldest family!"
"Can……"
"What else! You have to think clearly. If you seize this opportunity, you can become the son-in-law of the Wei family and marry the granddaughter of the minister of household affairs! Otherwise..." Wei Baozhu's voice was a little excited, and he tried to control it. He lowered his voice and said harshly: "Otherwise, you will be the mud in the corner soon..."
The third lady was born in the House of the Minister of Hubu, and Wei Laner was the direct granddaughter of the Minister Lin, and he loved her very much.
Moreover, rumors have spread in the court that Lin Shilang will soon be promoted to the position of Minister of Household Affairs.
The second lady wanted to support her natal family and wanted to trick Wei Laner into marrying her nephew Lin Yi.
When Wei Laner heard this, the anger on his face could no longer be suppressed.
Li Qingyi held her arm tightly and shook his head gently to prevent her from acting impulsively.
Wei Laner gritted his teeth and held back, continuing to listen.
"Okay...I'll do it!"
As if he had made a lot of determination, Lin Yi's teeth chattered a little.
Wei Baozhu glanced at Lin Yi disdainfully, feeling a sense of dismay in his heart.
Such a person, even if he becomes the royal son-in-law, is still a loser!
Wei Baozhu took out a small paper bag from his sleeve and gave it to Lin Yi, saying: "This medicine is very strange. It won't cause symptoms if you drink it. But if you drink it, you will fall asleep for about half an hour with just a little bit." . When I wake up, the effect of the medicine will be gone, and there will be no trace of it. By then..."
"I see……"
Wei Baozhu's tone became calmer now, and returned to the soft and peaceful tone of the past. There was a kind of comfort and inducement in his voice, "Cousin, don't forget, my mother's surname is Lin, so naturally she will do everything for the Hou Mansion. Thinking about it, I am the same! We have grown up together and have been in love. Of course I hope you are well, and I don’t want to take advantage of that heir! When you marry my third sister, the Hou Mansion and the Wei family will be intimately connected! With the Minister of Household Affairs We have also established a relationship with the family, why are you still worried about your future?"
"If this matter alarms the princess, I'm afraid something bad will happen..."
"No, how could the Wei family publicize the scandal? Besides, you don't have to go too far, just peel off her clothes and let others see it! It's easy to accomplish, and it's not easy to alarm outsiders!"
When Wei Laner heard these words, his heart became cold.
Wei Baozhu, who is usually the sweetest, most gentle and sensible, actually used such vicious tactics to deal with her!
The voices of the two people inside were lowered, and they were probably discussing the details of the matter.
Li Qingyi listened to the conversation between the two of them quietly, his expression not changing at all.
But Wei Laner, who was in the middle of the game, was so angry that his hands were shaking, and the skin on his palms was scratched by his nails.
Li Qingyi tugged on her sleeve, and the two of them quietly retreated into the peach forest.
Wei Laner's face turned pale and his steps were a little sloppy.
Li Qingyi worriedly held her shoulders, "Sister Lan'er..."
Wei Lan'er raised his head and looked at the calmness on Li Qingyi's face. The panic in his eyes slowly faded away: "Sister Li, I... I didn't expect that my second sister, who usually takes good care of me, would secretly plot against me like this... "
Li Qingyi sighed: "There is so much discord in the backyard of a wealthy family. I never thought that Sister Baozhu, who treats people so well on weekdays, has such deep thoughts behind her back. Sister Lan'er, what are you going to do?"
Wei Laner bit her lip: "Of course I can't let her succeed, and she's plotting against me, so we can't just let it go!" She looked at Li Qingyi, "Sister Li! Can you help me?"
Li Qingyi wondered: "Sister Lan'er, although I also think that Sister Baozhu is going too far, this is your Wei family's business after all, and I can't interfere."
Wei Laner nodded: "I understand Sister Li's difficulties, but I am alone. If I don't take care of it, I may not be able to escape this disaster. Do you want to watch me being plotted by her?"
"Otherwise, let's tell the princess!"
"No." Wei Laner shook his head decisively, "I have no basis for this matter. If I go to the princess to explain it, the second sister will never admit it, and will only scare the snake. Sister Li, I don't ask you to do anything else for me. , as long as you help me cover up, I can't really drink that stuff, at least I have to deceive the second sister first..."
Li Qingyi sighed, "It's natural. It's not a good thing. You don't know what will happen if you drink it."
Wei Laner nodded and was not worried that Li Qingyi would tell anyone. After all, she knew about it but did not reveal it. She even helped herself hide it, so that her second wife would be hated if she knew about it.
As long as she doesn't stop her from taking revenge on Wei Baozhu, just keep her mouth shut!
The two of them hurried back to the courtyard and went back to their houses, pretending that nothing had happened.
Seeing Heng Wu who followed Li Qingyi out with an ugly face, Shiong Lan couldn't help but asked in surprise: "What happened?"
Heng Wu briefly explained a few words, and Shen Lan looked at Li Qingyi in astonishment: "How did you encounter this?"
Of course, Li Qingyi deliberately led Wei Laner to listen to the corner.
She didn't come to Chonghua Palace in her previous life. She only learned some details later when she overheard the conversation between Wei Baozhu and the second lady.
"Girl, what should we do? No matter what happens to the second girl Wei or the third girl Wei, if the girl knows it but doesn't tell it, it's her fault!"
"What you said makes sense, but..." Li Qingyi smiled slightly: "Since I encountered this incident with Wei Laner, even if I don't help her, I can't help the second room in turn. In this case, let's go with the flow and cover. Wei Lan'er can just take revenge on Wei Baozhu."
The two girls looked at each other and said, "Miss Wei San will definitely explain the matter to the third wife afterwards. As a result, the fight between the second and third bedrooms will become more and more intense. Maybe the third bedroom is because of this small favor of the girl." , taking the opportunity to win over you."
Li Qingyi stroked Bu Yao on the temples, "The prototype of an alliance was originally due to a common secret... The second lady is too difficult to deal with and smart. Eight out of ten sentences are false. Compared with the third lady, It’s easier to control down there.”
Although her enemies are all in the Wei Mansion, her enemies' enemies can also become temporary partners.
But taking the initiative to win over may not work, and being roped in is a better option.
She just wanted to take this opportunity to "get attracted by the third room".
At the beginning of the year, a chamberlain came to inform me that we could go to the front hall.
Princess Yuanheng took her sisters to the Zhangtai Hall in front.
