The banquet ended happily in the middle of the night, and everyone laughed at the romantic affair in the flower hall.
When seeing off guests, sisters Hongyao and Lvtang accompanied Wenhou and his wife to salute.
Marquis Wen originally wanted to give Miaoyun to the King of Jin to solve the problem.
But she was stopped by her daughter Wen Hongyao, who bowed to the King of Jin:
"It is a blessing for Miaoyun to serve His Highness. I have been with her for many years and have been sisters. Today is in a hurry. The friendship in the boudoir has not been renewed, and the dowry has not been prepared. I sincerely ask Your Highness to show mercy and send Miaoyun to your residence tomorrow."
This was reasonable and Xiao Yuanhui naturally agreed.
Princes Xiao Yuanhui and Xiao Yuanmu mounted their horses in front of the door, and the Wen family stood respectfully at the door to see them off.
Lutang raised his head and met Xiao Yuanmu's eyes. His eyes passed by as if he hadn't seen her, and he moved forward, surrounded by everyone.
The two horses were tied together, and Xiao Yuanhui groped for them in his arms.
Xiao Yuanmu pressed the bridle and walked carelessly.
"Brother Jin Wang, what did you miss?"
Xiao Yuanhui is looking for an embroidered handkerchief, embroidered with light green silk and begonia branches, with a faint and intoxicating fragrance.
When the banquet had just begun, Wen Hongyao quietly handed the handkerchief to him, with a gentle smile on the corners of his eyes and brows.
"His Royal Highness the King of Jin, I have persuaded my second sister Lutang that she is willing to serve in the backyard. In the future, my sister is willing to follow the example of Queen E and work with Your Highness."
Xiao Yuanhui was overjoyed and poured wine for her to thank her.
"The eldest lady is virtuous and virtuous, and she must be a good wife. Next month, I will notify His Majesty to change the engagement, and make the eldest lady the principal concubine, and Lutang my concubine. With you two by my side, I will be blessed with great blessings. "
"My dear, thank you, Your Highness."
Hong Yao drank all the wine, her cheeks were flushed from the alcohol, and she pretended to be drunk and shy: "Your Highness hasn't come over yet, don't keep my second sister waiting."
Since ancient times, it was the most difficult thing to accept kindness from a beautiful woman. Xiao Yuanhui seemed to be hugging her and said in a low voice: "Miss, how can I be willing to leave you if you are so kind to me?"
Wen Hongyao pushed him with a blushing face: "Your Highness, please go down. My only request is that you will not forget today's kindness."
Seeing that no one was paying attention, Xiao Yuanhui stood up and left the table.
"Your Highness?" Hongyao held his sleeves, looked up with tears in his eyes, and whispered shyly and touchingly: "Lutang is young and ignorant of human affairs. Your Highness must cherish her..."
At this point, Hongyao couldn't say any more, he lowered his head and twisted his fingers in shame.
Xiao Yuanhui was drunk and had no scruples anymore. He leaned over and laughed, "Don't worry about her. On your wedding day, I will cherish you and you will be a hundred times better than her!"
"Your Highness, please don't say anything inappropriate!" Hongyao covered his face with his sleeves and smiled coyly.
Xiao Yuanhui turned the screen and went to the back garden.
They were whispering at the banquet as if no one else was around. Xiao Yuanmu had a sharp ear and eyes, and looked at them lightly.
"Where are you going, Brother Wang?"
"I got drunk and skipped the banquet, so you can deal with Marquis Wen for a while!"
Xiao Yuanmu passed by him and picked up the embroidered handkerchief that fell from his sleeve.
He followed quietly to the flower hall and saw Wen Lutang and his maid jumping out of the window to escape. He almost fell into the water in his eagerness.
The banquet in the Hou Mansion was really lively.
At the banquet, King Jin and his fiancée's cousin flirted with each other and discussed adultery. In the garden, Wen Lutang seduced her prospective uncle and wanted to sacrifice herself on the spot.
This unmarried couple is simply the most shameless in the world!
Xiao Yuanmu held Lu Tang's handkerchief and felt nauseated.
The love for healing poison must be repaid. He sneered and threw the handkerchief to his confidant, the Chief Historian.
The two princes gave rewards to the princes and ladies of the prince's mansion.
"The King of Qi appreciated the Beiguan wood carvings." Su Su opened the brocade box and displayed it.
Lutang looked at the dexterous craftsmanship of the wood carvings and suddenly caught a glimpse of the embroidered handkerchiefs laid out in the brocade box.
The light green silk embroidered begonia with folded branches is exactly what I was looking for!
"Why is it in the gift box given by King Qi?"
Su Su grabbed it and brought it to the lady.
At first glance, the embroidered handkerchief looks stained, but upon closer inspection, there are two words written in charcoal:
"Two clearings".
The pen is strong and powerful, it must be written by Xiao Yuanmu!
Lutang squeezed the handkerchief tightly, held it on his forehead and smiled bitterly: "King Qi saw what we did. The embroidered handkerchief was held by him, no wonder he couldn't find it."
Su Su wondered: "Will he tell King Jin?"
"No. If I break the poison of the slow medicine, he will definitely suspect that King Jin intends to harm him. He knows that I have a marriage contract with King Jin, and he returned the handkerchief to protect my reputation, which shows that he knows that King Jin and I are not of the same mind."
"The meaning of "Liangqing" on the handkerchief is that he doesn't want to get involved. He only sees his daughter's house causing trouble, but he doesn't know what our purpose is. He just sits back and watches the show."
The candles were clear and shining, and Lutang's words were clear and clear.
"Miss, it's not the same as yesterday. What happened?"
Susu sat on the footrest, holding her face in her hands and looking up at her, her cheeks flushed.
"Not only is it different from yesterday, it seems to be different from previous years."
The flickering candlelight dyed her eyes, and Lutang's eyes were ignited with fire.
"We have suffered a lot of humiliation and grievances, all because of my cowardice and incompetence. If this chaos continues, evil people will become more and more rampant, and my fate will become worse and worse. Why not fight, kill the enemy, and live a free life!"
"The enemy is the eldest lady, she framed you! There is also Prince Jin, a wolf-hearted beast, who wants to molest the lady regardless of the engagement!"
Susu gritted her teeth with hatred.
"Not only them, but also the Wen family." Lutang said softly.
"which one?"
"Every!"
The vow she made in her previous life has not been forgotten, and she will not let everyone in the Wen family go!
"From today on, I will plan carefully and take care of everything. No matter how wealthy the family is, the royal engagement, or blood relations. I will ignore all the things they use to manipulate me. I am inseparable from them!"
"There are many enemies." Su Su trembled.
"I don't blame you for being afraid. I will let you go when I have the chance." Lutang stroked Su Su's furry bun lovingly.
"I won't leave. I have been waiting for the day when the lady will take revenge!"
Susu made a face, revealing two pointed tiger teeth.
Lutang pondered deeply, recalling the less successful layout this time.
The king of Jin entered the flower hall and fainted due to incense. Miaoyun was brought out from the banquet, poured with hemp powder, and carried to the flower bed.
Su Su Miao stole Wen Hong Yao's gold hairpin at the banquet with her empty hands. Lutang cut out the note and painted it with red peony flowers.
In this way, it looked like Miaoyun was conveying love to the eldest lady, but in the end, the matchmaker broke into Miss Yingying's date in the west wing.
It's a pity that the hasty arrangement failed to have a big effect, and only one maid from Wenhongyao was eliminated.
Miaoyun is Wenhongyao's minion, and he is vicious and vicious but not inferior to his master.
Now, forcing Miaoyun to go to Prince Jin's Mansion is just a temporary estrangement. If this matter is discussed in the future, it might become a link between the Marquis' Mansion and the Prince's Mansion.
Calculated in this way, it is simply hurting the enemy by 1,000 and damaging yourself by 800, without any real benefit.
Lutang asked Susu to put away the handkerchief and told her to be careful with her personal belongings so that no one could take advantage of her.
"In our courtyard, the one who can enter the young lady's room to get things must be Zhang Xiaoniang. These days, Zhang Xiaoniang always asks the third lady to run to the eldest lady's courtyard, so they must have taken the handkerchief!"
Su Su said angrily.
In addition to Lutang, the second-bedroom courtyard also houses the concubine Zhang Xiaoniang and the concubine Zijian.
Lu Tang originally thought that they were attracted by Wen Hong Yao before his death. Now it seems that the mother and daughter are not of the same mind.
The traps in the previous life were mostly the result of their backstabbing!
To fight against foreigners, one must first pacify the enemy's territory - it is better to pacify the enemy than to attack the strong enemy. If the loopholes around you are not filled, you will definitely be attacked from both sides in the future.
Lutang's eyes suddenly opened up!
Before he could think about it carefully, Zhang Xiaoniang's voice came from outside the house.
She waddled over, and Da Ma Jin Dao sat down across from her, covering her mouth and coughing, and kept talking.
"I want to take some time to take care of myself, but you sisters don't make me worry! Today I have a banquet at my house, and the girl offended the eldest lady. I was almost frightened to death, so I quickly asked Zi Dian to apologize to her."
"The girl has an engagement with Prince Jin. Prince Jin needs someone to serve him, so it's you who should rush there. Why did Miaoyun get the lead? My men can't win over each other, so who wouldn't laugh at you?"
"My illness is not good at all. I have been worried about you for a long time, and it has gotten worse! I want to take some good medicine, but I don't have the money! The eldest lady is kind enough to send a doctor to take a look at it tomorrow."
Seeing that it was getting late, she quickly shouted outside the room: "Bring out the midnight snack and let's eat together!"
Wenhou's house has strict family rules. Lutang and Zijian's clothing and food are provided by the mistress, but Zhang Xiaoniang is a concubine.
Relying on Lutang's kindness and cowardice, she takes advantage of her monthly routine, clothing, and food.
The ladies set out the late night snacks and invited the ladies to dine, while Su Su stood behind her to serve the dishes.
Zhang Xiaoniang sat at the top, raised chopsticks first, and complained that the food was not good.
Revenge is about to begin, take Zhang Xiaoniang’s first sacrificial flag!
"What kind of rule is this?" Lu Tang didn't move his chopsticks. He opened his eyes slightly and said solemnly, "A savage was raised in the second-bedroom courtyard? Before I sat down, the slave fell on the table!"
The women only knew that Lutang was weak, and for some unknown reason suddenly launched an attack, and no one responded for a while.
Su Su asked angrily: "Which tablet is my little lady on? Dare you sit on top of my wife? Have you never eaten or been beaten?"
Zhang Xiaoniang was stunned immediately. She held herself as a concubine, bullying Lutang when she was young, and manipulated her for many years. Unexpectedly, she suddenly became so stubborn that she threw her chopsticks and cursed after a while:
"Shameless girl! Ever since the second master and second wife passed away, who raised you? I am the elder after all, and you want the little maid to scold me?"
The ebony inlaid silver chopsticks jingled and flew far away.
Lutang sneered: "Just remember my parents. When they were alive, you were just a maid and concubine. Now you should be content with food and clothing. I advise the young lady not to cause trouble and make people laugh at the disrespect of the second wife."
Zhang Xiaoniang was speechless, her face turned red, and she wanted to curse, but the ladies stopped her.
Lutang immediately ordered someone: "My mother is not in good health. Isn't the eldest lady going to send a doctor to see you tomorrow? Send two people to take her back to her room and she is not allowed to go out again!"
Seeing Lu Tang's expression, the ladies didn't dare to say anything, so they dragged Xiaoniang away, half pulling her and half persuading her.
As soon as she arrived in the courtyard, Su Su opened the curtain and came out, pointing at everyone with a stern face.
"We are all from the second wife. The second master and second wife have been kind to each other in this life. Don't always think that the master can handle it easily. The second young lady is a spoiled guest, and if she makes her anxious, there will be no place for us to die!"
The ladies hurriedly laughed and said, "Miss Susu is joking. Second Miss is so rich and precious, how can the people below dare to neglect her? It's Miss Zhang who is confused. Please don't accuse us wrongly."
"As long as you know, embracing your master is the right way, and crooked ways are useless."
After Su Su finished speaking proudly, she threw out a bag of broken silver in her hand.
"It turned out that Miss Zhang was in charge of the accounts, but everyone was not happy with it. The second lady will take over the accounting of our courtyard. Everyone must be attentive to their work, and no one will suffer!"
This bag of silver was originally owned by Zhang Xiaoniang for many years. Lutang took it out and distributed it to others. How could she not be anxious while staring at it?
All the ladies, all smart, saw the squandering money and felt that the second lady's behavior was not child's play, so they all rushed to be the first to pull Xiaoniang tightly, gag her mouth and carry her back to the room.
Money can make the world go round, but after just throwing away a few taels of silver, someone has already come to seek refuge.
The woman in charge of purchasing in the courtyard came to report the news in the middle of the night.
"Back to the second young lady, Miss Miaoyun was beaten to death by the eldest lady!"
