Chapter 44: Unexpected night
The paper bag contains "Acacia Sans". As long as Lu Ying does not pay attention and spills it in his bathtub later, he will be emotionally impatient. This medicine was secretly given to her by Cui Zhenyi's mother before she left Beijing. For fear of her being shy and hesitating, she told her the pros and cons of the medicine and explained the usage repeatedly.
These days, she has been wanting to use it, but she couldn’t find a suitable opportunity. Missed tonight, Lu Ying didn’t know how long it would take to return to the city. And this time, His Royal Highness Six will also go together...Time is limited, she Can't stand the delay any longer.
Her servant’s wife greeted Lu Ying with greetings in the yard. Cui Zhenyi's eyes flashed and she stood up to welcome her out.
Since we are leaving tomorrow morning, no one at the banquet tonight has a drink. The jars of fine wine prepared by Cui Zhenyi are useless. Seeing Lu Ying nodded at her with clear eyes, she turned to the main room. Cui Zhenyi felt depressed and worried, but the matter was over, and she had no room to retreat, so she gritted her teeth and took a few steps to stop in front of Lu Ying and said: "My concubine has hot water, and my husband will wash up later. Can you rest again?"
Lu Ying let out an "um" at random, and stepped past her to open the door and walked into the main room. Cui Zhenyi quickly reached out and invited the servant woman to send hot water.
The weather in Beiguan City is sultry in summer. Lu Ying takes a bath every day before going to bed. However, he uses cold water on weekdays. The old housekeeper can bring two householders to bring it. There is a small bathroom on the side of the main room.
Although it is troublesome to soak in hot water, it is much more comfortable. Cui Zhenyi also took the opportunity to take the servant woman to the small bathroom to prepare water for Lu Ying. After reaching out to test the water temperature, Cui Zhenyi motioned for the two servants to go out first, turned around and took out the small paper bag from their sleeves, quickly opened it and sprinkled it into the tub, and the powder quickly dissolved in the water and disappeared.
"What did you spill?"
Just as Cui Zhenyi was secretly rejoicing that she wanted to hide the powder-coated paper, Lu Ying's voice suddenly came from behind her coldly.
Cui Zhenyi was surprised, and the paper in her hand fell silently to the ground. She turned her head anxiously and saw Lu Ying standing in front of the bathroom door, and the two servant women she had brought standing behind him with a panic look.
Lu Ying looked at her coldly, without excitement or anger, but the expression on Cui Zhenyi's heart was more furious than his furious, she tightened her lips and didn't know how to answer.
Lu Ying slowly stepped forward. He was tall and looked even more like a mountain in the small bathroom. He was aggressively pushing towards Cui Zhenyi. Cui Zhenyi couldn't help but stepped back in a panic, from the side of the tub to the corner of the wall.
Lu Ying walked to the bath tub and did not continue. He bent down and picked up the powdered paper on the ground. There was still some powder left on the paper. Lu Ying glanced at the paper and re-wrapped it against the crease. Cui Zhenyi said indifferently: "It doesn't matter if you don't say it, as long as you give this to the doctor in the city, someone will naturally tell me what it is."
Show it to the doctor in the city? ! If someone knew what it was, her face would be completely lost. What would others say about her as the general's wife?
whore! These two terrifying words almost immediately suffocated Cui Zhenyi's breath. Her face was blood-red at first, then faded away and turned into pale white. Although she has a lot of scheming, she is after all a daughter brought up by a family of officials, and there are some things she would rather die than bear.
She didn't know where she came from, she suddenly rushed out of the corner and grabbed Lu Ying, who was about to turn away, and shouted: "Husband, please stay!"
Seeing this scene, the two servant women wanted to quit the main room but were afraid to retreat without telling them. They were blamed by the master. Cui Zhenyi clutched Lu Ying tightly and glanced at them fiercely. The two servant women almost escaped by crawling on the ground as if they were pardoned.
Lu Ying shook his arm and broke free of Cui Zhenyi's grasp. He strode into the main room and sat on the magistrate's chair by the window. He knew that Cui Zhenyi had repatriated the subordinates and intended to confess the ins and outs of the package of medicine. He didn’t deny that he had no affection for this wife from beginning to end, but he didn’t expect that this self-proclaimed lady would actually do something to drug him. It seems that he still underestimated the courage of the two mothers and daughters of the Cui family. And mean.
"If you don't want to say, you can go out now!" Lu Ying's patience with her is very limited. He will lead troops out tomorrow morning, so he is really not in the mood to slow down with her.
Cui Zhenyi took a deep breath and said, "That's a happy life." Anyway, she had been lost in front of this man, and she was even a little desperate. No matter how hard she worked, she would not be able to get his heart in this life. , It is even more impossible for him to look at her with the gentle eyes of his sister.
The whole heart of this man is turned to the little vixen of his sister!
When Lu Ying heard the three words "Hehuan San", her expression changed a little, and then returned to a indifference. Such an indifferent expression unexpectedly aroused Cui Zhenyi's anger-she was so insignificant in his eyes that she was so indifferent. Does she feel a waste of energy when she is angry?
Cui Zhenyi felt that she had never been so thoroughly contemptuous in her life! She counted all the anger on Bai Fuling's head-if not for this little vixen, how could her husband contempt her so much!
But just a beautiful face, the daughter of a lowly little merchant, why is she? !
Lu Ying got the answer she wanted, no longer in the mood to pester her, and said coldly: "Don't come to the main room anymore. It's late at night. Go back and rest."
Cui Zhenyi was extremely angry and calmed down. No matter what, the most important thing now is to convince Lu Ying to return to the prince. Even if it fails, at least he will not be allowed to vote for the second prince. She barely suppressed her anger and knelt down in front of Lu Ying, crying.
"The general cannot forgive the big mistakes made by the concubine when he was young and ignorant. The concubine feels guilty every day after knowing the whole story. He only hates that he has no eyes and is tired and the general suffers. But the general, please think, the concubine was just a few years old then. What do the older children know? What kind of bad heart can be really made? I just want to please the mothers and elders, and see how the adults do, and then follow how to do..." Cui Zhenyi sobbed and secretly paid attention to Lu Ying Seeing his expression, he seemed to be moved, and even harder to cry.
She didn’t know, but what Lu Ying was thinking of at this moment was that year when only three-year-old Bai Fuling acted like a baby and asked his mother to rescue him home. He was already desperate for the world and thought he would die in a group of people. Under the beggar's fist, this little girl who suddenly appeared as beautiful as a jade doll changed his life completely.
"After finding the mother-in-law, the concubine just wanted to serve her old man well to make up for the wrong things she had done in the past. The mother-in-law passed away, and the concubine dedicated her filial piety to her and ignored the general. It is because the concubine is useless and cannot serve well. The general is clumsy and can’t please the general. I know that there is someone else in the general’s heart. Sister Fuling, right? As long as the general says a word, the concubine is willing to work hard to marry the general, welcome her in and treat her as a flat wife Like a dear sister!" Cui Zhenyi didn't want to buy white Poria, but she had no choice but to think of countless ways, but none of them were enough to impress Lu Ying.
Lu Ying is not greedy for gold, silver and wealth, seems to have no ambitions for fame and power, and even more unconcerned about women... But, helplessly, Lu Ying never gave up on them. The look in their eyes was similar to that of Shi Wei, the old housekeeper. To be precise, the look in Shi Wei's eyes was a little more gentle.
Thinking left and right, Lu Ying’s only handle weakness is Bai Fuling. At this moment, Cui Zhenyi is like grabbing a life-saving straw, trying to use it to reverse the situation. This trick hit a big nail on Bai Fuling's side, but Bai Fuling didn't say that she didn't want to marry Lu Ying! Listening to her tone, it seems that there is some meaning to replace her.
So Cui Zhenyi inferred that it was the little vixen who had taken Joe and had to get the position of wife, so Lu Ying would not marry her in the door! Now that she took the initiative to throw out the position of a flat wife, that little vixen was ignorant, and Lu Ying would definitely understand that this was the highest position that Bai Fuling could get! She retreated and cooperated like this, and President Lu Ying should also say something to comfort her...
Lu Ying listened to her, and her eyes became very strange, as if she saw something incomprehensible. After half a salary~EbookFREE.me~, she asked, "You got here a few days ago. Beiyuelou, just tell her about this?"
Cui Zhenyi hesitated, nodded and said: "Yes...maybe it's the concubine's clumsy speech that upsets my sister..."
Lu Ying stood up and said word by word: "Such words that are detrimental to Ling'er's boudoir reputation are not allowed to be mentioned again! If you let me hear any wind, don't blame me for being rude to you Cui family! Your family I know very well what calculations are made, and I also advise you to draw a clear line with those princes early, otherwise the disaster of destroying the family and robbing the family will be in sight! I hope I come back from the expedition and you have already set off for Beijing. Get out!"
This passage is unpleasant, and the words are hidden fiercely. Cui Zhenyi has never seen such a gloomy look of Lu Ying. She was so scared that she forgot to cry, and she knelt on the ground and talked.
Cui Zhenyi came out of the main room in a daze, walked step by step back to Dongxiang’s own room, sitting in front of the dressing table for a while before she was shocked. She thought about today’s affairs from beginning to end, but still didn’t understand where it was. Something went wrong, but I also knew that I was flattering on the horse's leg this time, completely offending Lu Ying.
What should I do next? The eldest brother patted her chest in front of the main hall to ensure that she could recruit Lu Ying. If she just returned without success, what would the eldest brother think of her? What would your mother think of her? Her brothers and sisters will laugh at her secretly...no! Her husband's family seemed unreliable. Her only reliance was her natal family, and she had to find a way.
correct! Tonight, it seems that Lu Ying is very loyal, and she still has to start from his subordinates. It is much more useful to have them to persuade her than to speak directly.
Cui Zhenyi reluctantly cheered up and began to consider the next step.
