Da Suining

Chapter 260 Matchmaker
Lu Yu, who was being held by the yamen servants, tried his best to break free, but he couldn't.

His eye circles turned red.

Sobbing and sobbing, he could only keep shouting in his heart: "Xiang Er, don't confess, don't..."

Once confessed.

The consequences could be disastrous.

But Xiang Suining could no longer watch Mingzhu being beaten.

She understood.

If the fight continues, Mingzhu must die.

Pearl is innocent.

She can't hurt the innocent.

It's not that I don't know, the consequences after confessing.

But she had no choice.

She couldn't just watch a human life disappear before her eyes.

That is one life.

"I recognize..." Xiang Suining never thought that he would confess, but now his heart is surging and his nose is sore, but he can only try his best to scrape the words: "I believe... Princess Lu's child was caused by me. "

"Why?"

"Because...because I...are jealous." Xiang Suining lowered his head.

"What are you jealous of? Are you jealous that Princess Lu married a good family, and she married King Lu in a beautiful way, but you are treated coldly, don't you? Do you admire King Lu?" Master Qingcheng looked enthusiastic.

Lu Yu cursed in his heart.

This dog officer.

I thought so in my heart.

Guo Cheng is so virtuous, he is also worthy?
"Why did you harm Princess Lu?" Guo Cong frowned.

"Because I'm jealous of her beauty. If she gives birth to a child, she will be even more beautiful. She is a concubine and I am a legitimate daughter, so I am jealous."

This reason is quite plausible.

Mingzhu was so dazed that she fell to the ground listening to Xiang Suining's words. She felt that her heart was broken into several pieces. She supported her head weakly and cried: "Girl...you are obviously not... Thinking like this...why...you can't just confess for me..."

"Tell me about the process of your harm." Tang Shang asked.

harming process.

Did not harm her.

Can only make up a process.

Those evidences were clearly laid out in front of him.

Xiang Suining thought for a while, and gave an answer that was full of loopholes: "Because I was jealous of Princess Lu, I bought saffron, and planned to put it in her birth-preserving medicine when she was unaware. I ground those musks into powder. Infiltrated into the incense burner in her room, fearing that it would be useless, I became a villain again, and cursed Princess Lu every day according to her birth date. Sure enough, she slipped a tire within a few days, her child Gone."

"Only women and villains..." Master Qingcheng shook his head, and asked the master to list the crimes, and took them to Prime Minister Suining to draw.

A plethora of crimes.Every word is like a bug, crawling around in front of Xiang Suining.

Lu Yu, who was across the window, clenched his fists.

Xiang Suining bit his finger and slapped the accusation heavily.

Such bright red finger prints are blood and life.

Lu Yu finally spat out what was stuffed in his mouth, and ran over desperately. He wanted to tear up the guilt, but he didn't have time.

He could only stare blankly at Xiang Suining, at her increasingly thin face.

it's very windy.

Packed with snow particles, it rushes towards the face.

In an instant, the hair will be white, the lips will be white, and the words that are spoken will also be pale.

"Xiang Er... How can I protect you?" Lu Yu's eyes became redder when he said these words. He looked at the falling snow outside the hall, and raised his head to keep his tears from streaming down.

"You have to take good care of yourself, don't be like me." Xiang Sui Ning forced a smile: "Go back."

"You will die."

"Everyone dies."

"I don't want you to die so early."

"I know."

No more words.

silence.

The cold air seemed to have pierced a hole through one's heart.

"I should admit it, I admit it, you can let her go back, she is just a slave, these things are all done by me, and have nothing to do with her."

Pearl is just a pawn.

Now that Xiang Suining has confessed, it is useless to keep the chess pieces.

Mingzhu was dragged back to the mansion.

Madam Xiang picked it up in person.

After hearing what happened in the lobby, Mrs. Xiang sat by the window with tears in her eyes.

"Old madam, it's all the slave's fault. If it wasn't for the slave, the girl wouldn't admit it. It's all the slave's fault." Mingzhu choked.

She had already been beaten like this, and she served Xiang Suining loyally, otherwise, Xiang Suining would not have confessed to the crime of beheading for her.

How could he bear to blame her.

Mrs. Xiang sighed: "The villain is in the dark, you are in the light, even without you, they still have a way to force Suining to confess."

Chunyu returned to Xiangyan's side.

The bead curtain swayed.

Candles were burning brightly.

Xiangyan lay down and ate the fruit.

Suddenly the snow fell and the temperature plummeted.

Can't help but add an extra brocade quilt.

The brocade quilt also felt cold, and asked life to make a stove.

The fine silver charcoal in the stove glowed slightly.Much warmer.

Tang Xiaoniang peeled a longan for Xiangyan, and straightened the hairpin on her temples. After listening to Chunyu talking about what happened in the hall, Tang Xiaoniang threw the half-peeled longan back into the fruit plate: "Sure enough, she still can't hold on." , I thought she was capable. Don't you just admit it? This time, no matter what, I can't let her go."

"It's a pity I didn't get to see her with my own eyes." Xiangyan snorted and took another bite of the fruit.

The wind is getting tighter.

Tang Xiaoniang roasted her hands, and the red Koudan on her nails was particularly bright: "I confess at this time, if there are no accidents, then I should wait until after autumn to ask for the cut. After autumn, there are still several months. Let her die as soon as possible, Yan'er, tell the prince and let him work hard, anyway, the case has been closed, so let's send her on her way early."

Xiang Yan had exactly this intention.

"Who will I be sending to the road?" Xiang Daying rubbed his hands and entered the room, snow had already accumulated on his temples, as if he had come back from outside, his whole body was cold.

Tang Xiaoniang peeled the longan for him, but Xiang Daying didn't pick it up.

Tang Xiaoniang brought tea for him herself: "Master is from the official family. I think the master knows that the second girl's case is settled. Although it is... Although it is said to be her own child, but... the law of the country cannot tolerate... I mean, if the second girl is on the road, we can pack her a little better."

Xiang Daying did not speak.

Xiangyan burst into tears, rubbing the corners of her eyes with a silver silk square handkerchief, swaying every step, as the lights flickered, she bit her lip and asked Xiang Daying: "Father cherishes the life of Second Sister, is it that the one in my belly deserve to die?"

Xiang Daying did not speak.

"The case that the eldest prince and Master Qingcheng tried in person, and the imperial physician as evidence, Xu imperial physician will not talk about it, then Lu Yu and the second sister are very friendly, if it is not the case of the second sister that is confirmed, then it is Lu Yu , it’s not easy to be fooled, now that the second sister really admits it, does dad still want to be right and wrong?”

The more Xiang Yan talked, the more sad she became.

He simply turned his face away, and wept on the pillow.

Xiang Daying couldn't sit still any longer, so he had to get up and leave: "That's it, it's all like this anyway."

Over the years, he didn't seem to like Tang's children very much.Including Xiang Suining.

But Xiang Suining's life and death are at stake, but he can't say anything harsh.

It was a rare time that he didn't talk to Tang Xiaoniang and Xiangyan.

When Xiang Daying left, Tang Xiaoniang asked people to gather around the charcoal fire, and snorted coldly to comfort Xiangyan: "Don't cry, your father won't hear it. Besides, he can't change anything, the Lord Fuya and the First Prince Can your father turn the case around? Even if he could, he wouldn't dare with me."

"Dad really dare not?"

"I don't know if he dares or not?" Tang Xiaoniang drank the warm tea: "I lent him two guts, but he didn't dare."

"Mother is really capable, I wish I had half of mother's ability." Xiangyan sighed: "But it's worth it to replace her with a child."

"You are still young. If you have children in the future, you must not be so reckless. If you lose children one after another, do you know if you will not be able to have children in the future?" Tang Xiaoniang naturally asked in a gentle voice.

When the night was quiet and the charcoal fire was faint, the little maid came up and took down the silver hook, put down the green gauze curtain, and blew out another candle, ready to wait for Xiangyan to rest.

"Where's Chun Yu?" Xiang Yan's eyes flashed.

"Sister Chunyu was hit with a stick, and she should be recovering from her injuries right now," the little maid replied.

"Princess... the servants are still waiting outside... ahem..." It was Chunyu's voice.

It was cold in the porch.

It is late at night.

She hasn't gone to bed yet.

Xiang Yan lowered her eyes, looked at the only candle beside the bed and asked lazily: "You are guarding outside, do you have something to tell me?"

"Yes."

"I know what you want to say."

Chunyu outside did not speak.

"You go back and raise it, I know it well."

"girl……"

"If you're told to go down, go down, don't stand outside, it's like a ghost, it's going to keep me from sleeping." Xiang Yan shrank into the bed.

There was a silence outside.

Sobbing followed.

Then there was Chunyu's cough, accompanied by the small steps of leaving.

blue mansion.

Lan Fai had just returned home and changed into casual clothes.Before he even washed his face, a little maid came and asked him to go to the front, saying that he had a guest.

I thought it was Lu Yu, but it turned out to be a matchmaker.

Princess Guo sat at the head, wearing a bright purple double-breasted shirt, sitting with a heater in her hand.

Sitting leaning on the side is the well-known matchmaker Zhao in Qingcheng.A big dark red shirt, wide-leg pants, and a mole on his eyebrow.

Matchmaker Zhao first looked at Lan Heng who was standing behind Princess Guo. Lan Heng had a beautiful posture and a blushing face, naturally she looked like a daughter of a thousand pieces of gold.

Matchmaker Zhao praised her again and again.

Then he looked at Lan Fade again.

Lan faded out of the black armor, black hat, and knife, and only wore a wide-sleeved brocade jacket with an apricot-colored jade belt around her waist. She was much more easy-going than before.

At least it doesn't look that scary.

Matchmaker Zhao is short and has to stand on tiptoe to see Lan Fade.

She called "Master Xiaolan" with great interest and boasted: "As expected of a child of the princess's family, I really want to have a good appearance and a family background. My matchmaker Zhao is also quite famous in Qingcheng." , I have seen many young masters and young ladies, but I have never seen such Zhou Zheng, today is really an eye-opener."

"En." Princess Guo was neither salty nor bland.

Thousands of wears, no flattery.

Matchmaker Zhao came to visit and said a lot of good things, but Princess Guo didn't lose her face.

In normal times, a matchmaker like Zhao would not be worthy of coming to the princess mansion, at least in front of Princess Guo, not to mention sitting sideways on the corner of the chair, even standing on the side, I am afraid she is not qualified.

It was a great honor to come in this day, and to be given a seat by Princess Guo and drink tea again.

Princess Guo usually has nothing to say to these people, but this day she also sat for half a stick of incense.

Although during this period, I have been listening to Zhao matchmaker talking endlessly, talking about the young lady of this family and the young lady of that family, which third-rank official's daughter died and the man married again, or which sixth-rank official's son walked a bit bumpy, it was her. Even though she used all means to marry her sweetheart, Princess Guo responded indifferently.

Now that the blue has faded, Princess Guo hastily asked someone to sweep the snow off his shoulders, then quickly served tea, and introduced Matchmaker Zhao to him: "Matchmaker Zhao came here specially for you, so I specially asked her to stay Come down, just to see you."

"Oh." Lan faded lightly.

At this moment, I feel that he and Lan Heng are like items on a shelf, ready to be admired.

Matchmaker Zhao's scrutinizing eyes made Lan Tui very uncomfortable.

He thought Matchmaker Zhao was here to say goodbye to Lan Xie, so he wanted to leave: "Father and mother are in charge of my younger sister's affairs, as long as my son is willing, you don't need to listen to my opinion."

Lan Heng blushed immediately, and quickly turned her back.

Princess Guo smiled.

Zhao Matchmaker was afraid that Lan would fade away, so she quickly stopped her with a smile: "My lord, I misunderstood, I misunderstood. This time, the old man is not here to say goodbye to the girl in the house."

"Oh?"

"As the saying goes, there is a difference between old and young. A young master and a young lady seem to have reached the age of kissing, but if you want to talk about kissing, naturally you have to talk about it first, that is to tell the young master first." Zhao Matchmaker laughed so hard wrinkled.

Not to mention this day, Lan Tuan was not in the mood to listen to what she said about the marriage.

That is, since ancient times, haven't men come to women's homes to ask for marriage?Didn't the man send a matchmaker to the woman's house to talk about marriage?Why did matchmaker Zhao come to tell him about their marriage?
Does he have that much charisma?
It's really snowing in late spring and early summer, the sky is not normal, and people are not normal.

Lan faded helplessly looking at Princess Guo.

Princess Guo nodded to him and asked him to sit down: "No matter the rules or not, she is here in such a cold day and such deep snow, so just listen to her."

Lan Fai had no choice but to back away.

Seeing his embarrassment, Lan Heng wanted to laugh.

Matchmaker Zhao drank a cup of tea, and the smiles in the corners of her eyes couldn't be melted away: "If you say that you are a noble princess, and that your son is unparalleled in the world, that's natural, just like a son, but you can't find the first one if you look for it in Qingcheng." Two, besides, the young master is an imperial guard and the emperor's confidant, so he naturally has a bright future, with such an identity, the young master is of course not popular with ordinary girls, and the old man dare not come to the house to talk about it."

Princess Guo nodded.

Let her speak.

Lan Fade frowned.

He has always disliked being flattered, nor did he like to be flattered for no reason.

"The girl from the family I'm talking about is well-matched to the young master in terms of wealth and appearance, and this girl is very good at playing piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, and knitting. I don’t know how expensive she is, such a girl is perfect for our son, and there is no such suitable marriage. If you miss it, there will be no more. "

"I don't like girls." Lan Fai said lightly.

I felt something was wrong again.

It seems a bit perverted naturally.

He could only add: "I mean, I don't want to get married right now."

There was some confusion in his mind.

Speech is also messy.

"I don't want to get married yet." Lan faded her formal clothes
