Mysterious Tang Dynasty

Chapter 4 The Lady
Li Yanjun saw the rockery in the distance getting closer, her heart beat faster by two minutes.

Although she was very confident in her plan, it was the first time she did such a harmful thing by herself, so she was naturally nervous.Facing the maid, she wants to put on a calm look, but in private, she still can't help but think too much, for fear that things will go wrong.

What if Lin Jiulang didn't come to the rockery as she planned?
Seeing her daughter's distraught appearance, Xiao Yang secretly teased her, reminding her not to let others see her flaws.My daughter killed Li Lijun today on impulse, which really caught Xiao Yang by surprise.But things have already been done, and this girl has thought of a way to deal with the aftermath, so the mother can only obey her, and then try to make up for her.Anyway, Xiao Yang would never see his own flesh and blood gain a bad reputation!
Seeing that Li Yanjun had regained his senses, Xiao Yang just looked away, and discussed with the people around him nonchalantly: "Madam, this place is quiet, we can rest assured to talk here without being afraid of being disturbed. The concubine passed away unfortunately, and our family was very sad. But no matter how sad, the funeral of the concubine successor couldn't go past my sister. In the past two days, because of these matters, Da Lang and the eldest lady had a lot of quarrels with the fourth lady. The palms and backs of the hands were all Meat, the heir king doesn't have much to say, so I can only ask my wives to help persuade me. The fourth lady is still young, and she lost her mother suddenly. She was too sad for a while, and it is inevitable that she will be a little rude. At this time, elders are needed They taught me a lot."

This is an excuse made up by Mrs. Yang, the purpose of which is to reasonably invite these royal ladies to the "scene of the crime".There are seven or eight wives here, all of whom are the daughters-in-law of the Sui king's brothers, including the heir princess, the county princess, and the county princess's wife.Although some of them have a close relationship with her, there are also a few who don't share her temperament.

Originally, she planned to bring only the noble ladies she had good friends with, but unexpectedly, the female family members of Prince Ning's Mansion and Prince Xue's Mansion also came to the mansion today, and they wanted to listen to the end of the story.After the death of her elder sister, Dayang, these few thought of the love of the old concubine, and took care of the children left by Dayang, and they also took care of her, the concubine who married into the Sui Palace to take care of her sister's flesh and blood. Be polite, but be wary of Chen, the successor princess.

Little Yang used to give Chen some eye drops in front of these sisters-in-law, and it was quite effective at first.Helplessly, Mrs. Chen has money, is generous, and is used to saying good things. Most people can't find fault. Over the years, she has even earned some respect in the circle of royal ladies. She has never lost her reputation, which makes Mrs. Yang regretful endlessly.

Now that Mrs. Chen is dead, these ladies began to pity the weak again, and cared about Mrs. Chen's surviving daughter.

Xiao Yang didn't want to take them with her, she was worried that there would be troubles, but time waited for no one, if Lin Jiulang ran away, where would she find someone to take the blame for her daughter?In desperation, she had no choice but to lead a large group of noble ladies to the garden, thinking that she was just going to be a witness anyway, and Li Lijun was definitely dead, and nothing would go wrong.

Unexpectedly, she just habitually poured some dirty water on Li Lijun's head, and something went wrong immediately.

Princess Wei of Jiyin County raised a question: "Mr. Chen is the heir and concubine. What should I do about the funeral? Zongzheng Temple has its own regulations, so just follow the rules. What's the fuss about it? I see that your family's Li Niang has always Well-behaved, not like an ignorant child, how can he still make trouble?"

Du Shi, a wife of a county princess who was born in King Xue's mansion, also nodded in agreement: "Yes, Li Niang lost her mother at a young age, and she is sad, but if she doesn't take it for granted, your heir king will not tolerate her. Just do what you want, why did Da Lang get into a fight with Chu Niang and his younger sister? Is there some special reason here?"

"Is there any special reason?" Another princess who stood on Xiao Yang's side couldn't listen anymore, "Chen is just a business girl, and the children she raises are not as good as Da Lang and Chu Niang. Shu Dali? It must be her fault to let the eldest brother and elder sister quarrel with her! According to me, Sister Yang doesn’t need to discuss anything with us at all, and just let the king discipline her daughter! Let the children mess around!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was a little speechless.

For the people of Lao Li's family, the word "rule" is nothing at all, and there are many people who like to mess around.Who is this sister-in-law embarrassing when she says such things? !
As for the family background of the Chen family, it was not as bad as she said. The ancestors of the Chen family were also very noble, and this marriage was a matchmaker by a respected old uncle in the clan.Belittling Chen's identity is somewhat offensive to this old uncle.Besides, the Chen family is the concubine of the heir king of the Sui Palace, so belittling her, does the Sui Palace have face?

Whether it was on the side of Xiao Yang's side, or on the side of the female relatives of Ning and Xue Erwang's mansions, no one answered the words of the princess of the county.The atmosphere was a bit tense, and Du Shi, the wife of Duke Xue in Prince Xue's mansion, smoothed things over: "Stop arguing—according to me, this kind of matter should be reported to the princess, and she should come forward to persuade her grandchildren. No matter who is right or wrong , Disciplining the little lady in the family, this is not what a man like Si Wang should do."

Xiao Yang couldn't tolerate these words even more.She was just looking for an excuse to lead everyone to the "crime scene", but she didn't intend to involve her mother-in-law.In case Princess Dou pursues it, her lying will be revealed immediately...

She was about to say something to cover it up when she heard her daughter Yanjun shout excitedly: "Who is that?! Why is that person running around in our garden?" Xiao Yang hurriedly looked over and saw someone A boy dressed as a servant ran towards them.

She guessed that this must be Lin Jiulang's entourage. It seemed that their master and servant had arrived at the place where Li Lijun's body was buried as planned by his daughter, and they probably had already found her body.She suddenly settled down.

The young A Chui ran to a place far away from the noble concubines, and began to salute: "You nobles, are you the owner of the Sui Palace? There is a little lady in front who was seriously injured, and I don't know whose family it is. Please find it quickly." Physicians go to treat them!"

Li Yanjun hurriedly asked: "Who are you? Why did you come to our back garden?" She had never seen the master and servant of the Lin family, and she was eager to confirm the identity of the other party, and then install a "thief" on the other party. title.

But Xiao Yang's family is deeper than her daughter Cheng Fu, and felt that her question was inappropriate, so she quickly pushed her: "Go and see if something happened to one of your sisters, now is not the time to get entangled in these trivial matters!"

Li Yanjun came to her senses, covered her face with a handkerchief and cried, "I just saw the fourth sister coming into the garden, could it be that something happened to her?!" Then she ran towards the rockery, "Fourth sister! Fourth sister, you Don't scare me!" He ran all the way and yelled all the way.

The noble ladies also changed their faces when they heard this.Just now they heard from Mrs. Yang that for Mrs. Chen's funeral, Li Lijun had a conflict with his brother and sister. Could it be that this child couldn't think about it for a while?That's really terrible!They didn't bother to ask more questions, and hurriedly asked Ah Chuan to lead the way: "Where is the injured person? Hurry up and lead the way!"

Ah Chu lowered his eyes and said: "The wounded are not far away, the young one will lead the way, and please send someone to call for the doctor."

Princess Wei of Jiyin County immediately sent a maid to call for someone from the mourning hall ahead.

The group of them ran towards the rockery behind Ah Chuan, and the county princess who had made friends with Xiao Yang praised habitually: "Yan Niang is really a good sister who cares about her sister, seeing how anxious she is, she is such a good child ah!"

Princess Wei of Jiyin County glanced at her: "It's not good to be anxious when something happens. She ran away without even asking where the injured person is, and she is not afraid of finding the wrong place to delay the matter."

Xiao Yang couldn't help but stop, her heart trembled.
