Flowers are expensive

Chapter 535 Killing people with a borrowed knife and killing two birds with one stone

"But I... still want to go to Faguang Temple to save him once."

"That's it," Zuo Hui frowned slightly and thought for a while, "I've been busy with court affairs for the past few days, so I really don't have time to accompany you to Faguang Temple. But the city is not peaceful recently, so I don't trust you to go alone, um...Let Zuo Hui How about taking a few people with you?"

Xixi was overjoyed, but she refused: "Isn't that good? I've delayed the third young master, and I don't know him very well..."

"There is no delay, anyway, he is more free than me. I can rest assured only if he accompany you to Faguang Temple."

"Thank you..."

"There is no need to thank you in the future, just treat it as a family getting along well, come on," Zuo Hui put a piece of stewed cuttlefish in a bowl for Xi Xi, and said, "I heard people say that stewed cuttlefish with chicken is very good for women. Eat more, you will have strength when you give birth. There are not many people who can conceive twins, so you should cherish the kindness that God has given you."

"Okay." Seeing that Zuo Hui agreed, Xixi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Zuo Yan accompanied her, so she felt more at ease.But right now she still has one thing to do, that is to find a way to get rid of the people around her, leaving only Xin'er and Zhuang Yunxian by her side.

The two chatted again while eating.It took about half an hour after a meal, and Feng Juan got impatient waiting in the yard outside.Finally, the door of the study opened, and Zuo Hui walked out with the help of Xixi.Feng Juan went up to greet her with a fake smile and said, "Squad Leader Li, is he going back there? Come on, I'll ask two maids to take you there."

"No need," Zuo Hui said, "Ban Li and I will mainly go for a walk in the corridor to digest food, and I will personally send her back later."

"Sir, aren't you tired? How about I ask Mr. Zhu to accompany her? It's good for my sisters to be around."

"Yes, young master," Xixi also declined, "Go back and rest when you're tired! It's the same for others to accompany me. You're busy with business, so take care of your health."

Zuo Hui nodded and said, "Okay, let Mr. Zhu go with you, and come back at night."

"Yes, I see."

Feng Juan cast a dark glance at Xixi, then called the girl to take care of Zuo Hui and went back to her room to rest.After Zuo Hui entered the room, Feng Juan said to Xi Xi with a half-smile: "Trouble Leader Li, please wait first, I'll call Mr. Zhu to come."

"No need, Mrs. Sun, I'll just go by myself."

"Then how can I do it? Zuo Hui ordered, if you don't do it, he will blame me for not being able to do things. You sit in the yard first, and immediately call Mr. Zhu to come."

After Feng Juan finished speaking, she hurried to Mr. Jiang Zhu's room.As soon as she entered the door, she called Mr. Jiang Zhu to her and whispered, "Zuo Hui asked you to accompany Captain Li to the corridor. You should quickly change into your clothes and follow."

"Me? I'll accompany her..." Jiang Zhuyun looked reluctant.

"Are you still not happy? Let me tell you, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" Feng Juan said through gritted teeth. "Chance? What chance?"

Feng Juan dragged her by the hand and walked behind the screen, whispering: "Did you forget what I told you? Mr. Xianggong intends to let the two evil seeds in her belly be included in the Zuo family tree, which shows how much Mr. Xiang likes her in his heart! If You really made her the concubine of my husband, is there any place for you to stand? I just asked you to move to a side courtyard today, and I can encourage my husband to kick you out of the house later!"

Mr. Jiang Zhu said with a worried face: "Then... are you asking me to curry favor with her?"

Feng Juan poked her on the forehead, and said in a low voice, "Stupid! Who asked you to please her? Is it useful to please her? It's not like you didn't see that she has only been here for a long time, and she just wants to please grandma and husband like this It's no use trying to please her!"

"Then what do you want me to do?"

Feng Juan snorted coldly and said: "You don't understand even after this point? How stupid! At the beginning, I was really fooled by your mother, thinking that you could help me, it seems , you will only be dismissed by the Prime Minister and go back!"

"Cousin!" Jiang Zhujun hurriedly grabbed Fengjuan's sleeve and begged, "Help me! If the young master really divorces me, how will I see people in the future?"

"If you want to keep talking about you, you have to please him. But right now, Mr. Li only cares about Team Leader Li. What do you think should be done?" Feng Juan stared at her and asked back.

"What...how? I don't know either! I can't stop Eldest Young Master from liking Leader Li..."

"Forget about being stupid!" Feng Juan glanced at her disdainfully and said, "Your mother is so good at tricks, why didn't you learn at 01:30? You can't stop Mrs. Li from liking Team Leader Li, but as long as Team Leader Li Gone, who does Xianggong like?"

Jiang Zhujun was taken aback, looked at Fengjuan blankly and said, "Is Leader Li not here? Cousin, what do you mean by that?"

Feng Juan rolled her eyes and said, "Can't you understand? That's fine, just move to the side courtyard later! But I'll say the ugly things first, going to the side courtyard is equivalent to being in limbo, you just stay there Let's die of old age!"

"cousin……"

"I've said everything I need to say. It's up to you what to do. As long as you can win your breath, the days to come won't be so sad. Hurry up and change your clothes and come out!"

After Feng Juan finished speaking, she turned and walked out the door.Mr. Jiang Zhu twisted his silk handkerchief behind the screen, hesitating for a while with a sad face.It's not that she doesn't understand Feng Juan's words, it's just that she doesn't want to do that kind of thing.Although before entering the Zuo Mansion, her mother gave thousands of warnings, saying that there are many female relatives in the mansion of a wealthy family, so she must resort to tricks, but if she wanted to do something to a pregnant woman, she was unwilling and dared not!

After Feng Juan urged her three times and asked her four times, Mr. Jiang Zhu slowly walked out of her room.When she walked to Xixi's side, Feng Juan suddenly stuffed something for her, and then glanced at Xixi.She shook her hands, and quickly stuffed them into her sleeve pockets, her heart pounding.

Xixi didn't notice the strangeness of the two sisters, she just turned her head and smiled and asked Mr. Jiang Zhu, "If it's inconvenient for Aunt Jun, you don't have to be polite. It's the same if I walk around by myself."

Feng Juan hurriedly elbowed Mr. Jiang Zhu.Mr. Jiang Zhu hurriedly answered, "Oh, I'm free...I'm free! Let's go, Leader Li!"

Xixi nodded and said: "Okay, just go to the corridor pavilion for a walk."

Afterwards, the two of them took the two maids beside Fengjuan and walked to the pavilion in the mansion together.The pavilion is built on the west side. It is long and curved. There are fish ponds, rockery and small gardens on both sides. The scenery is very beautiful.Xixi walked and watched all the way, turning her head from time to time to say a word or two to Mr. Jiang Zhu.Mr. Jiang Zhu was perfunctory one by one, but his heart was so nervous that he died!She found out what Fengjuan gave her on the road just now, it should be a small bottle of hair oil, probably used to spill it on the ground and slipped Team Leader Li.

But Mr. Jiang Zhu was so timid after all, he didn't even dare to touch it, let alone spill it.Seeing that the two of them were coming to an end, she was extremely anxious, clutching the bottle of hair oil tightly, trembling all over!At this moment, a girl behind her said: "Aunt Jun, there are a lot of koi here! The maid brought fish food, why don't you feed it?"

"Oh...Okay!" Mr. Jiang Zhu regained his senses a little from his panic, and walked with Xixi to the steps by the pond.Sure enough, there were many colorful koi swimming around. As soon as people threw food, they immediately gathered.

Xixi held a box of fish food, sprinkled it and turned to talk to Mr. Jiang Zhu.Jiang Zhujun's smile was a little stiff because of nervousness.Looking at the water surface of the pond close at hand, she knew very well that this was the best time to strike, if she missed it, it would be difficult to find another chance!But... I glanced at the leader Li next to me, and she really couldn't do that.But if he doesn't do it, my cousin will be unhappy, and I can only obediently move to the side courtyard.what to do?She was caught in a dilemma for a while!

Just when Mr. Jiang Zhu was hesitating, someone bumped him from the back unexpectedly!Before she could exclaim in surprise, the fish food box in her hand fell into the water, and then her whole body slammed into Xixi!

"Ah!" A piercing scream pierced the tranquility of the pond, and the fish that were scrambling for food just now pulled away and scattered!I saw Mr. Jiang Zhu fell into the water, terrified, thumping and shouting for help!And Xixi, who was hit by her, had quick eyes and quick hands, and grabbed the clump of green vines on the bank with both hands, but only stepped on the water with both feet, and the whole person did not fall off!
After a burst of panic, Xixi stabilized her emotions and looked up. The two girls who had accompanied them just now were just looking at Mr. Jiang Zhu who was thumping in the water, and didn't turn around immediately to call for help.And when the two looked at Xixi, there was a chill and disappointment in their eyes, which made Xixi realize something immediately!
In fact, Xixi was a little aware of it along the way.Jiang Zhujun's tense expression and unnatural speaking made her suspicious, so when she was standing on the bank to feed the fish just now, she deliberately stood close to the clump of vines and kept on guard, so she didn't get bumped. into the water.

After half a minute, the two girls started calling for help and came to help Xixi.After being dragged ashore with wet feet, Xixi shook off the two maids who were supporting her, and gave them a hard look.They seemed to have a guilty conscience, and hurriedly avoided Xixi's eyes, and shouted at the ups and downs Jiang Zhujun with a look of anxiety.

At this time, the servants and guards who heard the movement rushed over.Three or five men jumped into the water, fished out the dying Jiang Zhujun, and hurriedly sent them back to Fengjuan's yard.

Mr. Jiang Zhu choked on a lot of water and was still unconscious when he was sent back to the yard.Zuo Hui, who was resting, was woken up by the exclamation of the servants.Zuo Hui turned over impatiently and asked the girl who came in to report, "What's going on? Who happened?"

The girl said: "It's Aunt Jun! She and Captain Li were feeding the koi by the pond, and fell into the pond for some reason!"

"What? What about Leader Li?"

"Leader Li also almost fell into the water, but it's okay, I heard from them that they just got their shoes and socks wet."

"What's the matter? I was feeding the fish well, why did I almost fall into the pond?" Zuo Hui said while frowning, got up, put on his shoes, and walked out quickly.He didn't go to Mr. Jiang Zhu's room, but to the small courtyard where Xixi was.

When he went, Xixi was changing clothes, but Zhuang Yunxian blocked the door.After asking about the situation and exhorting a few words, he returned to the yard with confidence.When she returned to the courtyard, Feng Juan came out of Mr. Jiang Zhu's room with a worried expression on her face, stepped forward and pulled Zuo Hui and asked, "Master Li, is Mr. Li alright?"

"Hmph!" Zuo Hui stared at Feng Juan dissatisfiedly, then flung his sleeves and went to the study.

Fengjuan followed all the way in, pretending to be flustered and asked: "Master Li, is there something wrong with Mr. Li? Don't get pregnant! Otherwise, I've committed a serious crime!"

Zuo Hui sat down and glanced at her, and said, "Aren't you guilty? Why don't you ask your cousin to accompany her for a walk, would something like this happen? Really! Such a grown-up person actually fell into the pond Li, did you not give her enough food on weekdays or something?"

Feng Juan suddenly knelt down, and said sadly, "Master, please forgive me!"

"Why are you kneeling too? That's fine, let's get out!" Zuo Hui waved his hand impatiently.

"Master, it's all my fault," Feng Juan choked up, "If I hadn't arranged for Mr. Zhu to enter the mansion, this incident wouldn't have happened! If something happens to Mr. Li, how can I be happy!"

"Can't you say something nice? She's fine, she's just a little frightened. She's a person who has seen a lot of worlds, how can she be as delicate as you? Get up, hurry up and prepare some soup, and serve it to her later past!"
