Fengqi crabapple

Chapter 65
This little episode of Ruyi is like a strong wind blowing, and everyone forgets it after a while.A group of handsome boys were still discussing things on the martial arts field with great interest, and trotted all the way back to the capital on horseback.

Haitang did not ride in the carriage with Ruyi. She and Qingyao rode "Gold Bar" and "Flame" respectively. Xie Ruitang and Xie Yuanfang also slowly rode horses to protect them, and entered the city gate under the setting sun.

Haitang returned to the Sun Mansion, and Ruyi returned to the Cheng Mansion.

When Cheng Xiangjin saw Ruyi jumping away and returning angrily today, she guessed what must have happened.Thinking back to Ruyi's unabashed admiration for her when her elder brother left that day, she suddenly had an idea in her mind.

After dinner, Ruyi was sitting alone in the backyard of the west wing in a daze. Xiang Jin came over with a plate of grapes, and Ruyi stood up and saluted.Xiang Jin held her down and handed her the grapes.

"Sister Ruyi, you are also a lady from an official family, and you have not sold yourself to my family, so you don't have to be like those slaves." Xiang Jin said with a half-smile:

"That day, I saw my eldest brother looking at you before he left. I must have looked at you differently in his heart. My eldest brother has also reached the age of getting married, and my mother Qian'er also told the old lady that there is a suitable person in our house. . I thought about it one by one, who is this person if it’s not you? When the eldest brother comes back, the old lady will make the decision, and the eldest brother cares about you, maybe you will be my sister-in-law soon!"

Cheng Xiangjin could tell lies at any time.

Ruyi lowered her head and stared blankly at her fingers, which had been poked many times while making the two belts.After hearing Xiang Jin's words, she felt excited, but what happened today again made her afraid that Cheng Haitang would kick her out if she couldn't even see Cheng Hanbai's face!

Ruyi's two tears couldn't help but roll down: "Second girl, you don't know, I may have offended the eldest girl at the racecourse today. I'm afraid I will be kicked out of Cheng's house in two days. Don't say goodbye to the young master, I won't even survive." I don't know where the road is..."

Xiang Jin secretly smiled, she really guessed right, she and Cheng Haitang were indeed involved!

"My eldest sister grew up in a mountain village, and her upbringing is not even comparable to yours. It will only be a matter of time before you offend her. In this Cheng family, except for my father and my eldest brother, she probably doesn't take anyone seriously. "Xiang Jin put her hand on Ruyi's shoulder and comforted, "What are you afraid of? You and we are both people who have 'offended' her!"

After she finished speaking, she giggled herself first.

Ruyi's nervousness gradually decreased. She looked at Xiang Jin sincerely and said, "But if the eldest lady comes back and really wants to drive me out of the house, second lady, please help me..."

"Then let's find some trouble for her so that she can't think about you. If we're lucky, we can drive her out of the Cheng Mansion first. Then the Cheng Mansion won't be yours in the future, sister-in-law?"

Ruyi's heart instantly swelled and became firm with Xiang Jin's encouragement.

After being here for so long, she had already known that Cheng Haitang, the second lady, and her aunt were not on the same page. Now that the old lady had alienated her, it would be more advantageous for her to stand with them.Prince Duan had no thoughts, but the young master was different. He was straightforward and naive, how could he stand up to a woman's coaxing?Should be much easier to deal with.

She really regretted not dating Xiang Jin earlier. If she had known what her aunt and the old lady were thinking, she wouldn't have had to take a chance on Prince Duan at the racecourse today.She and Cheng Xiangjin were like ants attached to each other and hit it off immediately.If she wished, she would use her calculating skills and discuss with Xiang Jin how to make Haitang suffer. "When I get this wrong thing about her, I'll have her thrown into a house and let those despicable people abuse her! Let's see if the prince or the prince wants her!" Xiang Jin said bitterly.Washe is the place where the lowest prostitutes in the capital stay. It is specially used for the entertainment of traffickers and lackeys. Even Hanako can go there.Thinking of this, Xiang Jin feels happy!
Xiangjin got up and went to the aunt's yard, and told her about Ruyi's betrayal, and the aunt taught her to do this and that.For several days, Xiang Jin and Ru Yi were stuck together, as if they were wearing the same pair of pants.Both Huaping and Liuying are very strange, but Ruyi is not very close to them on weekdays, and now they are even more inseparable.

In the aunt's room, Cheng Ligang finished his work dripping with sweat. Pan Xiuying reluctantly stroked his strong arm: "The poison must not be too strong. The antidote is also ready. I also want to keep the old lady's mouth." , Let’s tell the master and the young master.”

Cheng Li said with a bad smile: "Don't worry. Is there anything I do that makes you dissatisfied? But that Yu Lang, I have to put some effort into getting rid of him first, so that the girl loses her arm."

These people discussed the bad things as they went back and forth, and everyone was happy.It seemed as if just waiting for Cheng Haitang to return home would immediately send her to Abi Hell.

Not long after, Mrs. Cheng sent someone to the Sun Mansion to pick her up. She said that the Mid-Autumn Festival was over and her granddaughter had been bothering her for a long time. She also asked her to go back to see the old lady.It was difficult to persuade Mrs. Sun to stay, so Haitang said goodbye to her adoptive parents, packed her things and returned to Cheng Mansion.

On the night when he returned to Cheng Mansion, Xie Ruitang came over: "It's been verified that Prince De is really helping the fourth child! If he wants the fourth child to become the prince, then the second child must be deposed or die. The mother and concubine of the second child is the queen of the palace, and many veterans support the second child who is both a descendant and elder, even if he is mediocre and incompetent."

"It's not easy to depose the prince. The only thing left is to let him die." Xie Ruitang's eyes were a little gloomy. Only five of his brothers could survive to adulthood, including those who were sick all day long. Lao Liu.

In the previous life, the sixth child suffered from leg poisoning at the age of 17 and was not treated in time, so he died of the disease on the same day; the fifth child accidentally drank poisoned wine and died, and the second prince committed suicide in prison for rebellion. He was the only one walking behind the three brothers.In the end, he killed the fourth child and died with Haitang himself.

The five brothers he had met all died violently, and the number of brothers he had never met who were killed by the harem was unknown.In this life, are they still unable to escape this fate?
Haitang held his hand and said nothing, only looked at her tenderly.Feeling her gaze, Xie San lowered his head with a smile on his face. He held her hand back and said, "It's still different from before. Now, I have you."

After a while, Haitang remembered it and said, "Shuang'er hasn't seen her brother for a long time. I'll let her go back to Prince Duan's Mansion tomorrow. You ask Ling Yun to spend more time with her."

Xie Ruitang was stunned for a moment, a trace of anxiety flashed across his face. He looked at Haitang and confessed: "Lingyun disappeared two days before the Mid-Autumn Festival. There is no confirmed news yet. Don't tell Shuang'er for the time being. You can't help. , it only increases worries."

Haitang was taken aback, and stayed for a moment before asking, "Did you go to follow the Tatars when they disappeared?"

Xie Ruitang nodded, pulled the hand he was holding, and gently pulled Haitang into his arms: "Don't be afraid, you still have me, I will find him. They grew up with me, like brothers, I won’t give up until the end.”

He did not tell Haitang that on the night of the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, while Prince Qing was not in the mansion, Ling Xue and An Qing went to the Prince Qing's mansion to search inside and outside again. Although they successfully entered the darkroom, there was no one inside except for the interrogation. The blood stains left behind.

Xie Ruitan gritted his teeth and said: "You want to see people when you are alive, and you want to see corpses when you die!"
