After about half a month,

Xiao Yunjin, the eldest son of Hongyang Prince, is not in a good mood recently, and he hasn't even been to the Fengyue Yaji, which he always frequents. However, when he returned to the palace that day, a housekeeper said to him, "My lord, this is an article sent in by someone outside."

Because Prince Hongyang's reputation has always been good among scholars, and he often holds poetry banquets and literary meetings, it is not uncommon for students to submit articles to gain fame.

Xiao Yunjin waved his hand, "I don't have time to read any articles right now, so let's put it aside first."

The housekeeper said again: "But the man said that this article can solve the current emergency of the court."

What is the urgent need of the imperial court? Xiao Yunjin just wanted to laugh and speak out loudly, but in the blink of an eye, he thought that what the imperial court is currently anxious about is the Huaihe River bursting its embankment and causing flooding.

Because the local officials are under the crown prince's family, His Royal Highness the crown prince has received a lot of criticism for this. For some reason, it was reported that the people affected by the disaster were wandering about and lost their homes, and that the crown prince was extravagant in the palace, and he recently accepted a new side concubine, which caused a great blow to the crown prince's reputation in the eyes of officials and among the people.

"Okay, let me have a look."

Xiao Yunjin picked up the article with suspicion and read it. He was still casual at first, but his face changed a little after reading it. Although he is a member of the idle clan, the quality of an article and the value of its content can still be seen.

Xiao Yunjin asked the housekeeper coldly, "Have you read this article?"

The housekeeper hurriedly said, "Don't worry, my son. When that person is cast, he can only be seen by him. Otherwise, there will be other consequences, and he will not be responsible."

It is also in this case that it may be a bluff to make the concierge a hot potato, but what if it will cause the prince to blame it, it would be bad, and they dare not hand it over to the prince, lest there will be other troubles Fire is coming.

After confirming that no one who handled this article had read it in the palace except him, Xiao Yunjin immediately took this article to the East Palace for an audience.

Prince Xiao Yuanyu was a little surprised to see him, "Yun Jin, why are you back?"

Prince Hongyang's son has always been close to the East Palace, so he was also present when the officials and staff members of the East Palace discussed the disaster in the morning. Because the prince has been criticized recently, accused of not checking under his command and ineffective supervision, all the staff in the East Palace have always believed that, with His Majesty's attitude, they may have to assign other princes to handle this disaster relief errand.

Most of the princes are now adults, and they are eyeing the crown prince, so they will definitely spare no effort to use this matter to attack the prince.

"I have an article here, which may change His Majesty's mind." Xiao Yunjin said excitedly.

Then the prince's reaction when he read the article was exactly the same as Xiao Yunjin's, he was very surprised and his eyes sparkled. Because the content of this article is actually an extremely complete, detailed and appropriate rescue and disaster relief plan, from stabilizing prices to building water conservancy projects with labor relief, epidemic prevention in disaster areas, and final reconstruction, all aspects have been considered. According to this plan, it is enough to let a pig do it according to the script, and it is enough to do a good job.

Xiao Yunjin also thought that if he could submit it, he would be able to wash away the crown prince's stigma of incompetence in employing people and negligence of officials under his sect. Moreover, this rescue and disaster relief plan came from the crown prince's side, so it is naturally best for the crown prince's people to handle this errand. If you do it well, you will be able to fight a beautiful turnaround and win people's hearts.

The prince was extremely happy, and couldn't wait to ask, "Who wrote it?"

He didn't think about Xiao Yunjin at all, it was precisely because he knew the other party, although Prince Hongyang was talented, suave, and well-known, he would never be able to write such an extremely pragmatic and mature disaster relief strategy theory.

Xiao Yunjin truthfully told the origin of the article, he was in a hurry to bring it to the East Palace to relieve the prince's siege, before he had time to find the gentleman who wrote the article.

"Prince, don't worry, since this person delivered the article and theory to my residence, I can naturally find it." Xiao Yunjin patted his chest and assured.

The crown prince couldn't leave the palace easily, so he entrusted this to Xiao Yunjin in advance, and said, "This is a talented man, treat him well."

Xiao Yunjin quickly found a small house, and according to the concierge, the person who delivered the article was a half-grown boy in civilian clothes, who claimed that the owner of his house was surnamed Gu.

When he came to visit, Xiao Yunjin didn't put on any airs, even if the other party was a white man, but just this article and thesis presented made a great contribution to the prince, even Xiao Yunjin would remember him as a favor.

But when he actually saw this Mr. Gu, Xiao Yunjin couldn't help being shocked.

Before coming here, he had thought that the other party might be a down-and-out sage hiding in the city and the countryside, but unexpectedly, he was too young, a thin boy sitting in a wheelchair, only fifteen or sixteen years old, Xiao Yunjin was a little stunned .

Gu Ran's disguise technique can make him look like he's 20, 30, or even older, but there is one problem, that is, his height and shape.It’s okay to cover up for a while, but if this Sockpuppet/vest wants to be used for a while, then forget it, it’s better to get close to yourself and change the appearance.

But Xiao Yunjin quickly calmed down his surprise, as the saying goes, people should not be judged by their appearance.

Especially under the formal conversation, Xiao Yunjin realized that the other party was extremely talented and insightful, even in the court hall, he was a rare talent in recent years. After chatting without realizing it, more than half an hour has passed. At this time, Xiao Yunjin remembered his purpose of coming, and hinted to Gu Ran that he had given the plan of water control and disaster relief to the crown prince, and he also wanted to recruit Gu Ran, a talented person, on behalf of the crown prince. .

And Gu Ran's goal was half achieved,

Lu Yunchi not only owns the Marquis of Weining, but behind him is the fifth prince who will ascend to the throne in the future.

She has no power, power or wealth now, so if she wants to deal with Lu Yunchi, she must take advantage of the situation, the backing of a nobleman with enough power.

Choose from top to bottom, the emperor doesn't have to think about it, no matter how bad the fifth prince is, he is his own son, and it is unlikely to deal with his son for an outsider. Moreover, the difficulty of contact is too high, and it takes too long to plan.

Gu Ran settled for the next best thing and thought of the prince.

She only knows a little bit about the plot of this world, but if the fifth prince wants to take over, the prince is definitely the enemy. If the crown prince's position is stable, how can the fifth prince have a chance to take the position.

After determining the target, Gu Ran thought about the next question, how can she get in touch with the crown prince in the East Palace.

Gu Ran needed a matchmaker, and the one she chose was Xiao Yunjin, the son of Hongyang Prince who had always been on good terms with the prince. This person is a son of the clan and rarely participates in government affairs, but he has a wide range of friends and is personable.

Yuanshen also met him before, not long after she was picked up, the Marquis of Weining held a grand wife's birthday banquet. On such a grand and grand occasion, there were many noble daughters whom Lu Wan had befriended. In the comparison, the original body, who grew up in the countryside and hadn't learned much about the etiquette in Beijing, seemed vulgar and shy, and was almost relegated to the mud, and finally made a lot of jokes.

Xiao Yunjin, the eldest son of Hongyang Prince, spoke out to save her a little at that time, maybe it was due to Fang Xianglai's nature of pity and pity, but it did make the embarrassing original body feel a trace of true kindness and consideration.

Based on this point, Gu Ran dared to submit this article to the Hongyang Palace, at least Xie was sure that he would not be corrupted or ignored.

Another layer of testing is whether the prince Hongyang and the crown prince are really close as the outside world said. Xiao Yunjin's visit now is undoubtedly for the sake of the prince, and he has confirmed this point.

The Huaihe River broke its embankment, and the news that the Prince of the East Palace was held accountable has spread throughout the government and the public. At this time, if you come up with a real plan for flood control and disaster relief, it will definitely catch his eyes.

Faced with Xiao Yun's solicitation by Li Xian, the prince of the Jin Dynasty, Gu Ran understood.

………

In the East Palace, Prince Xiao Yuanyu had changed from his irritability and melancholy a few days ago, because after the flood control and disaster relief memorial was submitted, his father greatly appreciated him, and decided to appoint him to the Huaihe area to handle disaster relief. It is difficult for courtiers to object.

When he saw Xiao Yunjin coming again, he had a look of embarrassment, and the prince asked in puzzlement, "Why, is that Mr. Gu unwilling to accept the solicitation?"

Although he is a crown prince, Xiao Yuanyu is well aware of the importance of buying horse bones with thousands of dollars and hiring talents with thousands of dollars, not to mention that his position as a crown prince is not completely stable, and the more help he has, the better.

Xiao Yunjin paused, "That's not the case, it's just that this person's origin is unknown, and he doesn't want to reveal his true identity,"

And his people also checked, this Mr. Gu did come to Capital City half a month ago, and the servant's house was also bought half a month ago, and his identity and place of origin can't be found for the time being.How could Xiao Yunjin dare to introduce such an ignorant person to the Crown Prince casually? What if the Crown Prince was harmed?

But even if he met the person first and then the article, he would still send the article to the prince to read.

The value of this article cannot be overstated.

The crown prince was taken aback when he heard the words, but after pondering for a while, he said, "It's not necessary to be suspicious, but it's not necessary to be suspicious. If he can really be used by me, Gu will not mind his background."

The worst thing is the people sent by other princes, or the spies of the enemy's foreign race.

But these possibilities are not great, after all, he will make a great contribution as soon as he comes, if it is his brothers, I am afraid he will not bear it. It would be difficult to write such a concise and detailed article if it was written by an enemy country and a foreign race. The prince thought that he could meet up and make a decision.

A look of hesitation appeared on Xiao Yunjin's face again, "Prince, there is one more thing, this person...has a grudge against Lu Yunchi from the Marquis of Weining."

The prince was slightly stunned. Since the former Marquis of Weining died in order to save him, his father was very grateful, so he especially favored the Marquis of Weining's family. He also appreciated and promoted the young Lu Yunchi, and even let him take over the defense of Gyeonggi and take charge of Nine Cities There are 18,000 elite soldiers and horses, and they have always been the emperor's confidantes who can take on such important positions.

Xiao Yunjin only felt that he was a little frightened by Mr. Gu, and he didn't dare to hide it from the prince, "Mr. Gu also said that before serving the prince, he would like to send an important message, that is..."

He said with a serious face, "The Fifth Prince and the Weininghou Mansion have secretly formed an alliance."

In the original story track, the fifth prince rose suddenly after the prince lost power, and the emperor was getting old, so Lu Yunchi finally chose to support him.

In this life, Lu Yunchi formed an alliance with the fifth prince a few years earlier, and this was also due to Lu Wan's active promotion after her rebirth. She even had a lot of contact with the fifth prince, the future real dragon emperor, in private.

At this time, the Fifth Prince Xiao Yuanqi was secretly meeting with Lu Yunchi in a private mansion outside his palace, and at the same time discussing important matters in the court.

"Hey, father still values ​​the crown prince the most. This time, the Huaihe errand has been handed over to the officials recommended by the crown prince. Even if there is a fault, it will be a merit." The fifth prince's tone was unwilling to be jealous, but also frustrated.

This time he clearly had the right time, place, and people. He first learned of the Huai River's embankment in advance, and pushed the officials under the prince's family to the front of the stage, making them responsible afterwards. For example, the second prince and the fourth prince will never let this time go by. Chance to attack the prince.

He has even figured out his father's attitude, thinking that he has always favored the prince, and it is unlikely that he will let the second prince and the fourth prince go, lest he slap the prince in the face, and he who is usually neutral and respectful to the prince , is the person who is most likely to be hand-picked for this mission.

Originally, the five princes had planned how to stand out in this disaster relief.

A prince like him with little outside influence, if he didn't have one or two outstanding achievements, it would be impossible for him to win the eyes of his father and all the civil and military officials of the court.

No matter how much he wants to hide his clumsiness, he can't really be regarded as an incompetent and useless prince, otherwise he won't even be qualified to compete for the throne.

Originally, this Huaihe disaster relief was an excellent opportunity.

Lu Yunchi said coldly, "I didn't expect the prince to respond so quickly, and even came up with a good plan for flood control and disaster relief. It seems that there are many capable people in the East Palace."

The fifth prince was even more jealous of Xiao Yuanyu. He was born as the queen's son and was named the prince. He got what he wanted, and the Taifu of the East Palace was a scholar and official. Which one was not a talented scholar and helper carefully selected by his father for him.

Fortunately, he still has the Weining Marquis to help him. Although he missed the opportunity to show his face this time, it was Lu Yunchi who informed him in advance that the Huaihe River would burst due to disrepair. It's all about expressing the win over the Weininghou Mansion.

I heard that Lu Yunchi is indifferent to everything, but he dotes on his younger sister Lu Wan very much.

Even the incident of embracing the wrong daughter that shocked Capital City half a year ago, Lu Yunchi did not change his attitude at all. Everyone knew that Lu Wan was the person on his heart, and he cared extraordinarily.

But that Miss Lu Wanlu was indeed a delicate and lovely girl. Although she had only met a few times, the Fifth Prince had a good impression of her. If he had a younger sister like Lu Wan, he would definitely cherish her very much.

So the fifth prince said with a smile, "Some time ago, the people from Jiang Nan gave me a box of high-quality warm jade. This thing is most suitable for my daughter's home. Why don't I give it to Yunchi for the sake of your daughter's happiness?"My sister put on some jewelry rings."

Mentioning Lu Wan, Lu Yunchi's originally cold and tense brows softened unconsciously, and he said, "Thank you, Your Highness."

The news that the Fifth Prince had secretly formed an alliance with the Weining Hou Mansion really shocked Prince Xiao Yuanyu.

He couldn't believe it without confirmation. But it is groundless, not necessarily untrue. The prince immediately sent someone to watch the fifth prince and Weininghou's mansion quietly, and indeed found some traces of communication between the two sides.

Although the fifth prince and Lu Yunchi acted in secret, after more than 20 years as the prince, the strength accumulated by his subordinates is extraordinary. If you really need to find out, at least the fifth prince who has not yet officially married and left the palace is Can't stand the investigation.

The prince's people found out that in the past two years, every time the fifth prince went out of the palace, it was almost always when Marquis WeiNing Lu Yunchi was resting and taking a bath.Although no one saw the two of them together, the coincidence of their whereabouts was too coincidental. They even found out the mansion, shops and teahouses that the fifth prince had secretly bought outside the palace in the past two years.The means will not be ordinary princes who are willing to be mediocre.

"It seems that Gu, the younger brother of the fifth emperor, really doesn't show off his mountains and dew his water." The prince sighed quietly.

Because Marquis WeiNing's mansion is favored by His Majesty, the prince also offered to win over Lu Yunchi, but was politely rejected, thinking that the other party was promoted by his father, so he didn't say much.Who would have thought that the other party would seek refuge with Fifth Emperor Xiao Yuanqi.

Even Xiao Wenjin, the eldest son of Prince Hongyang, didn't understand what was so attractive about these five princes, they were just ordinary palace people, without any prominent foreign influence, and they didn't even open a mansion, and they didn't even have real power. How could someone as cold and arrogant as Lu Yunchi choose him among all the princes.

The prince ordered his subordinates without hesitation, "Continue to be watched."

Some dangers are hidden in the dark, if you know it, it is not a danger. He will not underestimate this danger, just because Lu Yunchi's Gyeonggi defense can play a key role in critical moments.

After temporarily letting go of this matter, the first thing the prince thought of was Mr. Gu.The other party first presented a good plan for flood control and disaster relief, and then informed the fifth prince Xiao Yuanqi and Marquis WeiNing of the important news of the alliance.

The prince felt that it was necessary to meet him in person, and the final location was arranged in the Hongyang Palace.

After all, the other party didn't know the details, but he learned from Xiao Wenjin that Mr. Gu was disabled, so he didn't have to worry about being assassinated.

………

It has been a few days since Prince Hongyang's last visit, but Gu Ran is not in a hurry, he is reading a book while drinking medicine to heal his leg injury, not worried at all that there will be no result.

She sent the answer to her face, the prince is really incompetent, so she should consider how to get close to the emperor, or choose someone else.

When the people sent by Xiao Wenjin respectfully invited her into the car, when they came to the palace and saw a young man wearing a black cloak with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, Gu Ran also guessed the identity of the other party, the prince of the East Palace Xiao Yuanyu.

Gu Ran said with an neither humble nor overbearing expression, "Please forgive me for being inconvenient and unable to salute Your Highness."

Xu Shi heard too many descriptions about Gu Ran from Prince Hongyang. The prince did not show any surprise when he saw her, but accepted her well as a young man with a disability and full of talents who couldn't display his talents. On the face, there is a smile like a spring breeze, and the prince is definitely willing to treat talented people preferentially.

"Mr. Gu doesn't need to care about these small gifts. Gu has many famous doctors under him, who can be said to be rejuvenated. If Mr. Gu is willing, he can let them come and treat him at any time."

Gu Ran smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness."

In the plot that Gu Ran knew, he only briefly mentioned the prince of the Eastern Palace, because his identity as the eldest son and prince was framed by younger brothers who had ambitions to seize the throne, and he was also feared and suspected by the aging emperor. Died unexpectedly.

Gu Ran has no intention of saving the other party's fate, if the other party can cooperate with her, she will try her best to give some.

Then the two talked about the imperial court's policies in recent years, talking about border wars, and then about Jiang Nan's gentry grouping issue, land reform, etc., all the prince's questions were answered, and every sentence hit the nail on the head, which made people suddenly enlightened.

The more the prince listened to it, the more amazed he was. The other party's knowledge and knowledge were even far above those of the Taifu's bachelors. He wished he could take him back to the East Palace right now and confess.

Xiao Wenjin, the eldest son of Hongyang Prince, had quietly retreated when they had a happy conversation. There is no need to worry about the prince's safety, there are still many hidden guards in this room.

He is a smart man, as a clan, it is not good to be too involved in the government, and it is their Hongyang Palace's position to be close to support the prince.

Until the time when the palace gate was about to be released, even the prince had to stay overnight outside the palace for no reason. Xiao Wenjin, under the pressure of the prince's thirsty expression, reminded the prince that it was time to return to the palace.

The prince now not only wants to recruit Gu Ran, but regards him as a teacher.

Gu Ran chuckled and sighed, "I have a grudge against Marquis WeiNing and Lu Yunchi, so I can't disclose my identity. I hope the prince will forgive me."

The prince said without hesitation, "Sir is a talented person, why don't you dare to use it alone."

Since Lu Yunchi and the Marquis of Weining could not be used by him, and he even took refuge in a brother under him, bringing down Lu Yunchi would be beneficial to the crown prince, and it would also win him a great talent like Mr. Gu.

In the end, Gu Ran accepted the Prince's offer, but did not follow him into the East Palace, but stayed in Hongyang Palace.

One is that her identity is unknown, people who enter the palace need to check the details of her background, and two, she is not willing to be bound by the etiquette and rules in the palace. I am afraid that she is more comfortable and casual in the Hongyang Palace. Given the importance the crown prince attaches to her, Xiao Wenjin dare not neglected.

The fact is also the same. After Gu Ran stayed in the palace, the prince sent people to send a lot of things, and there were several imperial physicians. The East Palace also has all the precious medicinal materials.

Gu Ran claimed that his identity was a new friend of Prince Hongyang's, and the prince often came to the palace to meet her and ask questions about the court. Others have always known that the crown prince and Prince Hongyang's son grew up together and have a good relationship.

With the backing of Prince Xiao Yuanyu, it will be easy for Gu Ran to do what he wants to do.

Gu Ran smiled and said, "Speaking of which, the first thing has something to do with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

The prince was a little puzzled, "What's the matter? Mr. Gu just say it." Gu Ran helped him a lot, those medicinal supplements and imperial physicians were not worth mentioning, and the prince hoped to repay her so that he could win Mr. Gu's heart even more.

Gu Ran put down the teacup, "I also ask Your Highness's side concubine Ning to help."

It refers to the side concubine of Prince Xinna, who is also somewhat related to Gu Ran, or the original body. This side concubine Ning is the niece of Ning's natal family.

To be Mrs. Marquis WeiNing, Ning's natal family will not be ordinary, but Jiangmen Anpingbo's Mansion.Although Ning's natal family, she didn't know that she was under house arrest by her own son, and when Ning was released later, she was driven crazy by the tragic death of her own daughter and the marriage of her own son and adopted daughter, and she was imprisoned for the rest of her life.Even if the Uncle Anping knew about it, there was nothing he could do about it. At that time, Lu Yunchi was highly valued by the new emperor, and his position was high and powerful. Their family lost power because they were once in line with the crown prince. They had already lost, so how could they dare to say anything.

But now it's time to stand up and protect the Ning family.

Although Gu Ran has never met Ning Shi, Ning Shi holds a very important weight in Yuanzhen's heart. It can even be said that Ning Shi is the only person who has given her warmth and affection in Yuanzhen's sixteen years of life.

For many years in the Lin family, although the Lin family's parents didn't know that she was not their own, but because of patriarchal ideas, they devoted themselves to supporting their son Lin Yan to study and take the imperial examination, and squeezed the other girls to the utmost. Original body was the only one at that time. My wish is to try best not to be sold, and dare not even think about any love.

After returning to the Hou Mansion, no matter how others dislike her, Ning always regards her as her own daughter, the flesh that fell from her body.

Therefore, to fulfill the original owner's wish, it is necessary to keep the Ning family.

Gu Ran had thought about taking Ning Shi out of this place of right and wrong in Capital City after everything was over, but after careful consideration, he was afraid that Ning Shi would suffer under house arrest and even be driven crazy, so it was better to rescue her earlier.

Weining Hou Mansion unexpectedly welcomed a guest this day—Ms. Count AnPing, who is Ning's natal sister-in-law Xu.

In the entire Hou Mansion, the only ones who can come forward to entertain guests are the two female relatives, the old lady and Lu Wan. The other party's rank is not low, and he is a serious relative who cannot be seen, so he has to entertain him well.

Mrs. Xu didn't even look at Lu Wan, and asked as soon as she came, "I heard that Mrs. Hou is ill, and everyone in the family is thinking about it, so let me come and have a look."

Lu Wan's heart skipped a beat immediately. Could it be that the people in Uncle Anping knew that Ning's family was locked up? Came here to make trouble?

In comparison, the old lady did not appear flustered at all, "My wife is interested, but Ning's disease, the doctor said that it is not easy to meet guests, I am afraid that I will get sick, and I will take care of it. Please rest assured, Count AnPing,She is Yun Chi's mother, even if the Hou Mansion treats my old lady badly, it will not treat her badly."

In normal times, Mrs. Count AnPing would be fine after hearing this, but this time she came here with a mission.

It was her eldest daughter who married into the East Palace, Concubine Ning revealed the words.

Her precious daughter had a bad life in the past when she was married, and she happened to catch up with the break of the Huaihe River, which caused the prince to be held accountable, and was also criticized for being greedy for flowers and lust for accepting the side concubine. But this marriage was clearly indicated by His Majesty next year, the day chosen by Qin Tianjian and the Ministry of Rites.

Even if this matter has nothing to do with her daughter, it will inevitably damage her reputation. Once she gets married, she will be ignored by the prince, and life in the East Palace will be difficult.But recently, for some reason, the prince's attitude towards Concubine Ning has improved, and he has gained some face in the East Palace. The only request is to inquire about Mrs. Marquis WeiNing's situation.

Although Concubine Ning was puzzled, she didn't dare to refuse, so she sent a letter to her family asking for this matter.

In order for her daughter to have some space with the prince, Mrs. Count AnPing also wanted to take care of this matter, with a few smiles on her face, she said, "What did the old lady say, and Mrs. Hou and I are sisters-in-law, how can I be afraid?"What a sickness. Besides, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I really miss Mrs. Hou."

This is a must to see Ning Shi.

Could it be that he knew something and was suspicious? If Mrs. Xu saw it, Count AnPing's government would be dissatisfied with this matter, and even more afraid that Ning's no-brainer would call and beat her good grandson and granddaughter when she knew her daughter was dead.Shouting to kill is really embarrassing.

But in the blink of an eye, the old lady changed a lot of thoughts, but she still had a kind smile on her face, "Then Madam An Ping, please sit down for a while, and I will let the doctor see if Mrs. Ning can get up? "

After that, the old lady took Mrs. Count AnPing and chatted again and again. After drinking four or five cups of tea, Mrs. Count AnPing got impatient, so the old lady asked someone to guide her to Ning's yard.

Mrs. Count AnPing saw Ning's face was sick and pale, lying on the bed in a daze, unable to speak, so she thought what the old lady said was true.

The living expenses in the house are all high-end. How can you say that the current ruler of the Hou Mansion, Lu Yunchi, is the son of the Ning family, so it is impossible to treat her harshly, but what makes Mrs. Count AnPing a little strange is that the Ning family used to be aroundThe dowry mothers and maids are not there, and the servants and maids in the house are all unfamiliar faces, and upon questioning, they say that some have moved out due to illness, and some have been punished by the young master because of poor service.

If Mrs. Count AnPing is confused, she didn't pay much attention to it after hearing the explanation, so she went back.

Then the old lady in the inner courtyard asked all the servants again, "Madam Count AnPing asked something, did she doubt something?"

Lu Wan, who was standing by the side, only felt a slight chill seep out of her heart. She never thought that the old lady would give Ning's medicine in order to hide it from outsiders. Fortunately, she made some arrangements before Mrs. Count AnPing was willing to see Ning's.

In the past, she only saw that the old lady was dedicated to the Buddha, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes. Compared with the current Ning family, she was only sent back to the Lin family in the previous life, and the old lady didn't do much harm.

Seeing that there was no problem after asking, the old lady nodded in satisfaction.

When Lu Yunchi came back from Jiucheng Bingmasi, the old lady told him the matter again, and sighed, "Chi'er, don't blame grandma for doing this, I'm afraid your mother will talk nonsense and ruin you. And the reputation of our Hou Mansion."

"These days, I thought that letting her ground her feet in the yard would allow her to meditate, but she still clamored to bring Lu Han back, and said that you were not filial or fraternal, and that you hurt your own sister for an outsider. Alas, She is blaming you, and she also hates Wan'er."

Lu Wan, who was sitting at the table, flinched when she heard this. She didn't know if it was because of the Ning family who hated her, or the old lady who was understating her words and deeds.

After Lu Yunchi noticed it, he felt sorry for him very much. Thinking of his mother, he couldn't help frowning. It was too embarrassing for his mother to behave like this.

The old lady finally said, "Count AnPing's mansion came once, and there will be a second time. In order not to lose your tongue, it is better to send your mother to another hospital to recuperate. When she has figured it out, pick her up again."return."

Lu Yunchi didn't want to bother about this matter, "Just do what grandma wants."

The old lady did not immediately send Ning to another hospital on the mountain. After all, her natal sister-in-law Mrs. Count AnPing just came to visit. If she sent her away in such a hurry, wouldn't it be that there is no money here? Anyone can seesomething wrong.

However, what she didn't expect was that Mrs. Count AnPing was called into the East Palace by Concubine Ning the next day for questioning.

The author has something to say:

eight thousand words
