"How is Li Shifu these few days?" Li Wanrou asked suddenly, who was busy fiddling with the flowers and plants in her hand. (((Cartino Novel Network EbookFREE.me)))
Furong probed the no one outside the lower yard, and then leaned her head over and whispered, "I heard that Yuhuan said that the eldest lady had sent invitations to the prince a few days ago, but the prince refused. She was so angry that she smashed a lot of rare treasures. In the past few days, I have been very close to the second prince, and I often go to the prince’s mansion to enjoy flowers with a few young ladies."
Li Wanrou sneered at the corner of her mouth when she heard the words. Nangong Rongji was a good match for her, a couple of dogs and men. In the future, she will kill her enemies and avenge her poor child.
"Miss, Mother Wang came here just now. It means that everyone will go to the old lady's place to greet her and accompany her old man."
Listening to Furong's words, Li Wanrou nodded lightly.
The old lady is her grandmother, who is still alive in her old age. The old man is reasonable, so that everyone in the Xiangfu is free from the morning and twilight, but he still has to spend a few days every month to accompany her old man.
"Old lady..." Wanrou sighed quietly. The old lady might still have a little affection for her, and this might be the only affection she felt in Xiangfu. The old lady is kind and generous to every descendant, and she is a respectable old man.
At night, Li Wanrou was the same as before. In her backyard, she went to the room to rest after dinner. The only difference was the smile on her face.
"what!"
A sharp scream cut through the night, like a frightened bird screaming in the forest, startled other people of the same kind. Soon, the yard became boiling and noisy, and the guards and maidservants in the mansion quickly rushed to the lady's yard. The lady's scream frightened everyone, and almost no one noticed the pots of Guri incense in the corner.
Li Wanrou smiled happily, pressed the quilt tighter, turned over and continued to dream of herself, remembering the effect of Jiulixiang.
Guri incense is a kind of flower. Although it is not bright, the fragrance that it emits lasts for a long time and has the effect of calming and calming. However, if people who often smell the fragrance of flowers take Lysimachia, a medicinal material, they will become confused, mentally restless, and often have nightmares at night, such as falling to hell.
Since you treat me like a grass, I make you sleepless night and night, life is better than death.
The next day, Li Wanrou was dressed and dressed neatly, and the second wife, Li Shifu, and Miss Nuan Yu also went outside the old lady's courtyard.
Everyone is fine, except that Zhao's face is pale and a little lost. It seems that she was frightened and confused last night. Seeing this, Li Wanrou sneered and was greatly relieved.
The old lady’s close maid saw everyone here, and then led them to the yard. The old lady had just washed herself and was supported by two maids walking around in the yard. Seeing everyone coming, the wrinkles on her face instantly unfolded. .
The old lady is Li Xiang’s biological mother. She is now in her old age, full of silver threads, but there has never been anyone present who underestimated this stumbling old man. The old lady was after the door and acted vigorously and vigorously when she was young. The reason why Li Xiang In a smooth career, there are today's achievements. There are less than 10,000 people in one person. The old lady is not worthless. Even in the court, there are still many people who respect the majesty of the old lady.
It's just that the old man is getting older and he no longer takes care of the affairs of the government, leaving everything to the eldest wife Zhao to take care of, and enjoy the good night in the courtyard.
"Since you are here, please accompany my old woman to the back garden. There are so many weird things in the mansion lately. You have to deal with Zhao's." Although the old lady's words were not very harsh, she knocked hard. It hit everyone's heart, especially Zhao, his face became paler.
"Wan Rou, come and support me."
The old lady waved the maid beside her to retreat and let Li Wanrou come and support her.
Wanrou's heart warmed, knowing that the old lady still missed her, she stepped forward and gently supported the old lady, and everyone slowly followed the old lady.
"A few days ago, Qianshan disappeared in the backyard. Later, Li Si asked the sage to send the imperial army to assist in the search. I heard that nothing was found. What do you think?" The old lady slowly said, although the old lady did not leave the house. , But the old lady still knows the details of the big and small news in the mansion.
Zhao tried his best to stabilize his mind, and then reluctantly opened his mouth to answer: "Qianshan this kid has been naughty since he was a child. I guess there is some conflict with the family. My sister has petted him since childhood, and she has become accustomed to spoiling Qianshan this kid. The temper is a bit stubborn, and it is estimated that in a few days I will go home obediently."
Others don't know, but Li Shifu next to Zhao knows what the cousin did. He stared at Li Wanrou, who was helping the old lady in a good manner, and seeing the full smile on her face, making waves in her heart.
Li Wanrou was a man of two generations, and the warmth in her heart has long been swallowed by the cold eyes and cold blood of her relatives. Even though she personally pushed her blood cousin down the pond, there was no movement in her heart, and there was no trace on her face, and she smiled: "I saw Sister Shifu and cousin talking in the pavilion that day. After a meeting with me, I left. It seemed that I was in a bad mood. Sister Shifu, did you think?"
Suddenly asked by Li Wanrou, Li Shifu was very uneasy and wanted to have an attack, but the old lady was beside him, so she couldn't tear her face on the bright side, so she had to agree: "Yes, Cousin Qianshan complained to me a few words. He left in anger."
The old lady nodded faintly after hearing the words: "Well, the wife of the Hou Mansion is also very unreasonable." The old lady spoke, and glanced back at the Zhao clan, "Speaking of which, you, as the hostess of the Xiang clan, Zhao clan, Even letting an outsider spoil in my Xiangfu and beat my granddaughter Wanrou, she really deserves to be my daughter-in-law."
When Zhao heard the words, his legs trembled and he almost knelt down. Even if she was domineering in front of other people in Xiangfu, she didn't dare to do anything in front of the old lady. In addition, she was so sad last night that she was so speechless at the glance of the old lady.
"If there is another time, you will be your eldest lady in your boudoir. Shifu is my granddaughter, Nuanyu is my granddaughter, and Wanrou is also my granddaughter. Everyone here is a family. People. My family was bullied by others but kept silent. It really lost my face!"
The old lady's voice was cold. Everyone present held their breath and did not dare to let out the atmosphere. Only Li Wanrou beside her had warmth flowing in her heart, and the hand holding the old lady became tighter.
Grandma, you still love me, don't worry, I will guard the Xiangfu for you in the future.
"Daughter-in-law will never commit it again next time." Zhao's head lowered and replied.
"Ruyu, since your sister was frightened yesterday, you can help her deal with the affairs of the mansion these few days, so that she will not be exhausted." The old lady looked at a woman in Jinyi beside her, her face was not counted. Outstanding, but Emei reveals a calm temperament, she is the second wife of Xiangfu, Qingshi Qingruyu.
Zhao's heart was shocked when he heard the words, and Li Shifu's expression behind him also changed drastically, but Zhao's had not had time to refuse, and he was stared at by the old lady again. For a moment, he dared not speak, and he dared not say anything that came to his mouth.
Seeing Zhao's mother and daughter's face gloomy, but not daring to attack, Li Wanrou's heart was more relaxed. After coming to the back garden countless times, the first time she became so charming and beautiful, she saw that her face was still as plain as water. Li Wanrou thought a little bit about the Qing family.
In her previous life, she hadn't been involved in the life deeply, and she had never had any contact with the Qing family, so she didn't have any impression of her, but now it seems that the Qing family is a bit difficult, maybe...
Li Wanrou thought in her heart, but there was no movement on her face. In her previous life, she was also considered the mother of the world. As the lord of the harem, it was no small matter for her to cover up.
"Well, anyway, Qianshan disappeared in Xiangfu. We still have to explain. From tomorrow on, we will quietly send some family members to look for those goulan and flower restaurants. It's no exception for young people to leave home. I want to go to these windy places to be cool. There is also to let the girls in the house Ding be cautious in their words and actions, and don't spread rumors, which disturbs my ears."
The old lady had never been entangled in this matter. She didn't care about an outsider's matter. After all, half of her body was already in the soil, and she couldn't control too much.
The old lady looked at the young ladies in the mansion, smiled, and the wrinkles on her face stretched out. She touched Li Wanrou’s forehead with those dry bark-like hands: "The only thing that has allowed me in the past few days My peace of mind is my Wanrou. I heard that you talked with the prince very happily, and I will listen to my grandmother soon. Grandmother is old, now, the most worrying thing is whether you girls can have a share in marriage, and in the future. He Meimei."
Li Wanrou couldn't help but suddenly remembered Nangong Chengde's face, and a flush of blush came to her cheeks, and she whispered: "Grandma is really teasing and gentle. Although the crown prince has a good impression of me, Gao Zhiwanrou has risen to the point. Went now, Wanrou didn't dare to think about it."
"Haha, my Wanrou is the No. 1 beauty in the world, this famous family in the capital, is there a daughter who is better than my Wanrou."
Seeing the old lady and Wanrou talking and laughing, Li Shifu's heart burned with anger, her beautiful hands were tightly gripped, and even her nails were about to penetrate into the flesh.
"Swordman! The prince who confuses me is still here to confuse my grandmother! My grandmother loves me the most on weekdays. Why do you get the love of my grandmother, I am the eldest! You wait! In a few days, I want you to be ruined! Grandmother drove out of Xiangfu and was cast aside by the world!"
Li Wanrou glanced at Li Shifu with a smile. Although she didn't know what she was thinking, according to her temperament, she must be extremely uncomfortable at this moment. Seeing her trying to control herself, Li Wanrou was even happier.
The grandmother left everyone for lunch, which allowed them to go back to work on their affairs.
On the way back, Zhao clan and Li Shifu didn't say a word, their faces were gloomy, Qing clan seemed very calm, but Nuan Yu beside her was extremely happy.
Of course, Li Wanrou is the happiest person.
She was at the end, calculating in her heart.
The purpose of hard work these days has been achieved. If you want to stand firm in the Xiangfu, you must first shake the power of the Zhao family. In this Xiangfu, except for Li Xiang, only the old lady can have this ability. .
Today, after getting what he wanted, the power of the Zhao clan was given to the second wife, but that was not enough!
She needs an ally if she wants to push Zhao completely. Thinking of this, Li Wanrou carefully stared at the second wife in front of her, the Qing family.
