"Since your father is so sensible, why is he only angry with you for being a concubine but not angry with you for stealing someone?" Xiao Qintang looked innocent and deliberately said harsh words.
Yin Xiaorou and Xiao Chongjing's faces immediately turned pale with shame.
Even Yin Wenyu's face darkened.
But Xiao Qintang suddenly didn't realize it and continued to question: "Yin Xiaorou, my sister-in-law is not kind to you. Since you came to the General's Mansion, she has treated you better than she treats me. Is this how you repay her? What if your father Knowing that you are so ungrateful, can I still recognize you?"
"I..." Yin Xiaorou knelt on the ground and looked pale.
She looked up at Ruan Yunluo with tears in her eyes, and said with a guilty look on her face: "Madam, I'm sorry for you... but I really didn't want to steal anything from you, I just couldn't help myself. Please believe me, I I really don’t want to interfere with you…”
"I'm sorry, madam, I'm sorry for you..." Yin Xiaorou kowtowed to Ruan Yunluo with tears on her face, then looked at everyone with a determined face, and said with a bitter smile: "I know, it's too late to say anything now. I don't ask for your forgiveness, But please believe that I never wanted to hurt anyone, this is not my intention..."
"And General Xiao..." She looked at Xiao Chongjing with tears in her eyes. She seemed to have a thousand words to say, but in the end she only said "take care". Then he rushed towards Zuixue Lake with a determined attitude of seeking death...
"Xiaorou!" Xiao Chongjing's eyes were shocked, and he rushed over and hugged Yin Xiaorou tightly by the lake.
Yin Wenyu also rushed over and grabbed Yin Xiaorou's clothes.
I saw three people entangled by the lake. One was crying and begging, "General, please let me die." One was arrogant and refused, "I don't allow you to die, you are not allowed to die." The other was crying and shouting, "Sister, please let me die." What should I do if I die?"...
The look of separation between life and death was simply more lively than singing an opera.
Unfortunately, no one took the role.
Ruan Yunluo looked at him calmly without saying a word. Xiao Qintang folded his arms and sneered. Grandma Wan’s frown could kill a fly alive. Others lowered their heads and only dared to peek at the fun. No one dared to join in the fun.
Coincidentally, just as the play was getting more and more tense, Yin Xiaorou suddenly fainted.
"Xiao Rou!" Upon seeing this, Xiao Chongjing quickly picked her up nervously, and together with Yin Wenyu, called the doctor and hurried to the Longyan Pavilion.
"Sister-in-law, do you know what ingratitude is now?" Looking at the backs of the three people escaping in a hurry, Xiao Qintang sneered and looked at Ruan Yunluo, saying proudly: "I told you before, that Yin Xiaorou is not a good person at all, you still don't believe it... How is it now?"
"What's going on now?" Ruan Yunluo looked at Xiao Qintang with a puzzled look, and said in confusion: "Isn't it just a concubine? It's not a big deal. I was planning to take a concubine for the general, so it saves me the trouble. .”
"Sister-in-law, are you really stupid or are you pretending to be stupid?!" Xiao Qintang looked at Ruan Yunluo in disbelief, wondering if she was old and confused, "Don't you see that Yin Xiaorou is very ambitious? But I don’t care about the title of concubine, I want to be the first wife!”
"No way... I don't think Miss Xiao Rou is that kind of person..." Ruan Yunluo still looked suspicious, which made Xiao Qintang very angry.
"Believe it or not!"
Xiao Qintang waved his hand and stormed away angrily. As he walked, he gritted his teeth and cursed in a low voice, "Idiot, there will be times when you cry!"
Ruan Yunluo smiled nonchalantly, turned and left.
When she returned to Suifeng Garden, it seemed as if nothing had happened to her. She took an ancient book and sat in a recliner to read quietly.
But Aunt Wan couldn't sit still. Her heart felt like it was being boiled in a frying pan. She wished Ruan Yunluo would order her to do something right away! But Ruan Yunluo didn't respond at all, which made her even more anxious and couldn't help but spin.
"Stop spinning, it's making me dizzy." Ruan Yunluo put down the book and looked at Nanny Wan helplessly.
"Hey, my aunt, are you really not in a hurry?" Aunt Wan was finally able to speak. She grimaced and looked at her wife with great confusion, "Are you just going to do nothing? Are you just going to let that Yin Xiaorou act pretentious?"
"of course not."
Ruan Yunluo smiled lightly, took a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake from the small table and tasted it carefully. After thinking quietly for a moment, she looked at Aunt Wan and told her, "Let the word go and say that I am ill. If anything happens in the house, let them go directly to Xiao Chongjing and don't disturb my recovery."
"Hey!" Grandma Wan agreed cheerfully.
She thought that Ruan Yunluo had figured it out and was going to show Xiao Chongjing a little bit of skill so that he could change his mind. But in fact Ruan Yunluo didn't care whether Xiao Chongjing changed his mind or not - it was best for him not to change his mind. If he changed his mind, it would only make her even more disgusted.
She was just too lazy to care about the general's mansion anymore.
After all, this general's surname is not Ruan, so why should she work hard on something that does not belong to her?
If you have the time, wouldn't it be better to find a way out for yourself?
…
A few days before Ruan Yunluo became "sick", Xiao Chongjing didn't take it seriously. Because of the orderly rules she had established over the years, there was no trouble in the General's Mansion.
But it won’t work over time.
His deputy general Wang's mother suddenly passed away. As a boss, he had to be considerate. The granddaughter of his immediate boss, Marshal Xu, was getting married, and he, a subordinate, had to express it. The Chinese New Year is approaching, and it’s time for renovation of the clan’s ancestral hall, and as the clan leader, he has to take the lead.
He still has to go to court and be on duty, and he also has to worry about the safety of the Winter Solstice Ceremony...
And Xiao Qinyu! Since that day, he hasn't gone to Taixue for more than half a month. He drinks and gambles all day long...
These things were pursued one after another. When Xiao Chongjing was blocked by the servants at the exit of the General's Mansion, Xiao Qintang came back from the door in a good mood...
"Stop!" Xiao Chongjing immediately stopped her sternly, "Xiao Qintang, come here!"
"What?" Xiao Qintang stopped reluctantly.
"Why did you come back from outside this early in the morning?!" Looking at his sister's beautiful appearance, Xiao Chongjing had an ominous premonition in his heart.
He pushed aside the servants surrounding him and went straight to Xiao Qintang. When I looked closer, I realized that she had makeup on her face.
"Where did you come back from?!" He looked sharply and immediately grabbed her arm and asked, "You didn't come back all night, did you?"
"none of your business?!"
Xiao Qintang snorted and turned to leave.
"Why is it none of my business!" Xiao Chongjing grabbed her with a cold face, "I am your brother, who cares about you if I don't care about you?!"
"You are my brother, not my father!" Xiao Qintang rolled his eyes and shook off Xiao Chongjing's finger, "Besides, you are like that yourself, why can't I even go out to play for a while? Only you can The state officials set fires, why can't my people light lamps?!"
"that is!"
Xiao Qinyu was supported by the servant and came in drunkenly from the door. He sneered and looked at Xiao Chongjing, "Brother, since the state officials set fire to it, why don't we, the common people, light the lamps?"
