In the Liu Mansion, Pang Jing came out of Old Mrs. Liu's study, turned around and secretly sneered, what outsiders said was a famous official in the elite, just like this Liu Mansion, it was only superficial, but ugly inside.
They are both concubines, but now they can let Liu Changhe do this, but back then they were harsh to Liu Xiangzhi.
I can't write two characters of "Liu" in one stroke. Now the Liu family has the reputation of "Qingliu". In fact, they are not dependent on Prime Minister Liu. However, Mr. Liu does not have a good heart in his heart. His words are still full of arrogance and self-righteousness.
Calling it pedantic is actually biased.
Pang Jing respected Prime Minister Liu, so he was even more heartbroken by Mr. Liu's attitude.
Feeling sad in his heart, Pang Jing was startled when he turned around and saw three pairs of eyes.
Lu Anran and the others did not expect that someone would come out of the Liu Mansion, which did not accept outsiders, and all looked at the housekeeper, making the housekeeper look embarrassed for a moment.
What is surprising is that Pang Jing first nodded to Lu Anran, and then handed over his hand: "Prince Yun, Second Young Master Su."
They have never actually met each other, and it seems that Pang Jing knows the identities of the three of them very well.
Su Zhi's eyes subtly circled between Lu Anran and Pang Jing, touched his nose, and muttered in a voice that only Yun Qi could hear: "Do you have a leg?"
Pang Jing asked: "What are you doing?"
Yun Qi chuckled meaningfully and said: "Liu Mansion does not accept outsiders. I guess Da Da is a concubine. It's just that my son is not from the royal capital, but I don't know what family relationship Da Da Da has with Liu Mansion?"
The butler's face was like pickles. He had only heard that Yun Qi was flirty and had never been in contact with him. He didn't expect that he was so young and energetic and would not give the Liu family any face. He coughed a few times and managed to calm down: "Master Pang came here to send a message to Mr. Liu. My old man is telling the truth." …”
Pang Jing cut off the conversation and said, "Are you guys looking for the old lady? It just so happens that the old lady is free now."
After all, the housekeeper couldn't keep his face and twitched violently several times.
"Oh?" One word lingered at the end of the words for a long time, long and tactful, and he laughed out loud with unspeakable mockery. "Since you are free, can this butler lead the way?"
The housekeeper was placed on the mountain of swords, unable to move up or down. He folded his sleeves with his hands, bowed and gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, please!"
Su Zhi raised his arm and pushed the housekeeper away. He walked at the front with his chin held high like a rooster returning from victory. "Your Liu Mansion is so difficult to enter. I want to see what's special about it."
The young dandy in the capital had never experienced such a rejection, and he was obviously aggravated.
When he turned around, Pang Jing nodded to Lu Anran again, and then left in stride.
While Lu Anran was deep in thought, Yun Qi tapped her shoulder with the jade bone fan and winked - she looked familiar, didn't she?
Lu Anran shook her head slowly. She had never been in contact with this giant man before, and she didn't understand why she suddenly helped them.
"It's not us, it's just you." Yun Qi seemed to be able to see through her inner thoughts, "Pang Jing is a confidant of Prime Minister Liu. If you don't know Pang Jing, how can you not have anything to do with Prime Minister Liu?"
It was originally a joke, but it turned out to be a slap in the face and gave Lu Anran a sap.
The disappearance of the old man is related to the Liu family. Now that Pang Jing dares to offend Mr. Liu to help her, it seems that Mr. Liu has explained it before him. So, Mr. Liu's kindness... or the purpose...
Why?
The white clouds floated in the sky, falling into Lu Anran's eyes, as if there was an extra layer of mist. Liu Xiang was in a position of great power to her, but she couldn't figure it out yet. She just felt that the fog was so deep that she didn't know the depth once she stepped into it.
While he was thinking about it, his sleeve was suddenly pulled. Lu Anran subconsciously stepped forward and looked up. When he fell into Yun Qi's sharp and deep eyes, his heart skipped a beat.
In an instant, it was as if the prey was locked, unable to escape under these eyes.
Her breathing became tight, "I..."
The spring breeze smiled, and the peach blossom eyes outlined a passionate arc. The original coldness dissipated, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds, and a lotus shadow in the breeze, "Be careful of the steps."
Lu Anran lowered his head and saw that the road ahead was blocked by several steps. If he was careless like before, he might have tripped.
Halfway along the corridor, Lu Anran hesitated several times and suddenly said: "Liu Xiang and I have some connections."
Yunqi raised his eyebrows: "Oh?" Unlike the previous mocking tone, he simply asked questions. What he meant was waiting for Lu Anran to continue to explain.
Lu Anran frowned lightly: "It's not appropriate right now. I'll talk to you in detail later."
Yunqi's eyes were filled with smile lines, "Okay."
After that, Lu Anran finally felt that the haze around him dissipated.
—
Liu Tingjing touched the green tea with the tea lid in his hand. As if he didn't see the figures walking into the inner room, he raised his arms and took a sip. He coughed in his throat, moistened his throat, put down the tea bowl, and reluctantly saw the guests. .
Su Zhi was most uncomfortable with such a character. Just now, when he met Mr. Liu's eyes, he instantly turned into a pickled eggplant. He touched his nose and flashed to Yun's feet, and said in a breathy voice: "The old Mr. Liu of the Liu family is much more powerful than my grandfather. "
Yun Qi raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "This junior came to disturb Liu Mansion uninvited. I hope the old lady will forgive me."
In terms of status, it was Liu Ting who came forward to salute, but he was an upright and upright character, and he was most unworthy of Yunqi, a romantic and dandy who was famous in the capital city. He glanced at a few people with a cold face, put his thumb on the tea lid, and said: "Prince Yun Seriously, please sit down and serve tea."
After sitting down, Liu Tingjing snorted coldly: "Where does this little lady come from, and what are the rules?"
Lu Anran was not angry either, but he was helpless. Every time he followed Yun Qi out, people would misunderstand that she was the little lady he brought from Huajie Liuxiang. How deeply rooted was this image in people's hearts.
Su Zhi seemed to find it interesting. He covered his mouth and grinned, grinning and swaying his body from side to side.
"Junior Lu Anran."
Yun Qi responded: "The eldest daughter of the Mengdu Lu family."
Liu Tingjing narrowed his old but not cloudy eyes, and the frown between Chengchuan's eyebrows relaxed a bit, and his tone became better, "So she is Lu Xun's daughter."
However, Lu Anran always felt that there was such a subtle sigh in these words that no one could easily notice.
Before she could figure it out, Liu Tingjing looked at Su Zhi, his face darkened, and reprimanded: "This is how Su Zheng teaches his descendants, whether they are sitting or standing."
Su Zhi grinned and completely shrank behind Yun Qi.
When talking to Mr. Liu, Xu's polite words were of no use at all. Yun Qi had no choice but to directly address the topic, "Is your grandson Liu Changhe at home? I have some questions to ask."
"If it's about the Qiongxian Tower case, there's no need to ask. It has nothing to do with him."
Yun Qi disagreed, "When asking a question, you must first ask and then verify. How can you ask if you haven't seen the person yet? Don't you think so, old man?"
Liu Tingjing's constant stoicism makes his whole person aloof and solemn. Even if he is a stubborn person who adheres to dogma, it is difficult for him to be easily moved by anything.
"If it has anything to do with filial piety, Prince Yun will bring out the arrest warrant stamped by the government when he comes next time. Otherwise, there is no need to say anything more."
Mr. Yun refused to eat soft or hard, showing a slight toothache, and secretly winked at Lu Anran - Come on, the old man doesn't like me.
Lu Anran raised his eyes: "Falling into the water can easily cause cold and dampness to enter the body, and then the body will be yang-deficient. It needs to be warmed and replenished for two months. It is not advisable to consume too much energy during this period to avoid insufficient righteousness and being unable to expel external evils."
Su Zhi was surprised. It was the first time he saw someone talking about whoring/prostitution in such an elegant and connotative way.
Although Liu Tingjing still looked serious towards Lu Anran, he finally became more relaxed and asked, "Are you a doctor?"
"If it counts without medical treatment, then that's it." Lu Anran said frankly.
Su Zhi still couldn't help but interrupt: "Everyone in the capital city knows that you are too ill-informed, old lady. Previously, she helped the Criminal Division solve the beheading case, and the Holy Father even rewarded her."
There was a hint of unnaturalness visible on Liu Tingjing's face, but he quickly covered it up. His eyes fluctuated, and he was speechless for a moment, not knowing what he was thinking.
Su Yanzhe had no intention, but inadvertently touched on Liu Tingjing's heart.
Liu Zhang was his most valued legitimate son, but he passed away early, leaving only Liu Chang and his concubine.
Liu Tingjing gave Liu Changhe to Liu Zhang's first wife, Yang, to be raised, but Yang did not agree to have the bastard named in her name. Seeing that she treated him kindly, Liu Tingjing did not mention it for the time being.
When Liu Tingjing got older, he resigned from his post in the court and took care of himself at home. Unless there were important matters, everything else was left to his daughter-in-law, Yang. Unexpectedly, Yang deliberately pampered Liu Changhe and added several beautiful maids to his room before he was thirteen years old.
Mrs. Yang is in charge of the middle minister, and she has the final say on the direction of the affairs in the mansion. As long as the trouble is not serious, it will not reach Liu Tingjing's ears. In the words of the servants in the mansion, don't disturb the old man's purity.
Furthermore, Mrs. Liu has been in low energy since the early death of his son. No matter how bad Liu Changhe's reputation abroad is, he thinks that the child's character is unstable based on the rumors he has heard.
It wasn't until the Qiongxian Tower case happened that Liu Changhe was actually involved. Old Mrs. Liu asked Pang Jing carefully and found out that Liu Changhe's reputation in the royal capital had been ruined, and he immediately felt regretful. First, she reprimanded Ms. Yang for letting her husband down, and asked her to go to the ancestral hall and kneel down to apologize. She also secretly decided that she would teach her personally in the future, and she would definitely change Liu Changhe's bad habits, and keep her clean and upright according to the Liu family's dogma.
With thoughts swirling in his mind, Mr. Liu exhaled a long breath from his nose, served tea to the guests and said: "I sent him to another hospital for rest. If you have evidence, arrest him directly. If not, please bring him back. "
The person you are talking about is Liu Tingjing. Regardless of Liu Tingjing's age, the status of the Liu family in the royal capital, or the high-ranking Prime Minister Liu standing behind him, no one is allowed to be presumptuous in front of him.
Yun Qi tapped the palm of his hand with his fan, "Old Master, you are a tiger, and I am the little lamb. The words you said scared me to the point where my legs went weak. Look at me, I can't even use the strength to walk." Moved."
In addition to Su Zhi's great admiration for Yun Qi's insistence on leaving, Lu Anran had to be surprised by his endless shamelessness.
Liu Tingjing had probably never seen such a person in his life. He was so angry that he lost his temper and said "Okay" twice, "Liu Mansion can still afford a meal. Prince Yun, please do it!"
Su Zhi just met Liu Tingjing's black face and jumped up, "My grandpa called me to eat."
On the other hand, he remained calm despite the rising clouds and smiled, "Thank you for the hospitality, old man."
Liu Tingjing stood up and swung his sleeves behind his back. Before he could take a step forward, Liu Mansion's housekeeper rushed in with a pale face. In his hurry, he didn't care about the presence of outsiders. When he saw Liu Tingjing, he opened his mouth and said: "Young Master... it's not good." ”
