Red makeup against the world

Chapter 412 Decided

Seeing that she was about to leave, Wu Jiao was in a hurry, and quickly reached out to grab her, saying: "Don't worry! I'll just say it. For Xu Wanzhen, it is naturally bad news. But for us, it is good news. However, I have decided that the candidate for the second brother's wife is her!"

After she finished speaking, her face was full of excitement, and her eyes were radiant.

Lu Shi asked, "What is the news?"

Wu Jiao still wanted to take Qiao, so she glanced at Lu Shi's face, hurriedly lowered her voice and whispered in her ear: "If I heard correctly, Xu Wan is really barren."

"What?" Lu Shi was shocked, and said, "How is this possible?"

Wu Jiao said: "Xu Wan really wants to marry Fan Bin, but she is serving filial piety, so Mrs. Xu disagrees. Sister-in-law, look, this woman is unfilial, vulgar, hypocritical, and has lost her fertility. Isn't she the perfect candidate?" ?"

Lu Shi nodded slowly, nothing else was important.If it is true that Xu Wanzhen is barren, then she is the only suitable candidate.

The sons of the Duke of Zhongguo's mansion are not prosperous, and the three generations are passed on alone.After she married in, she had only one son, brother Chao, who has not been happy yet.For Wu Sheng's branch, the more prosperous the offspring, the better, this has always been her heart disease.

If Wu Zhengxiang married a fertile woman and gave birth to a few more children, maybe Duke Zhong would be eccentric, and the wind direction in the mansion would also change accordingly.

She didn't want to hope that Wu Zhengxiang would cut off his sons and grandchildren, but she just thought that since he didn't have a legitimate son, he would be at a disadvantage.

With this incident, both of them felt that Xu Wan was really the best candidate.

"I will ask someone to inquire again. I remember that Xu Wanzhen also went to the Peony Flower Fair hosted by Princess Zhaoyang. But I didn't see her shadow afterwards. It is said that she suddenly contracted a cold, and Imperial Physician Hu checked her pulse " Wu Jiao said.

Lu Shi nodded: "Sister, we must implement this news. Imperial Physician Hu must know about her condition, and try to get him to speak up."

"It's not difficult."

Xu Wanzhen was not a noble person, and Imperial Physician Hu kept her secret out of medical ethics, and had no obligation to do so.The Duke of Zhongguo wanted to inquire about him, how could he not speak up?
The two agreed and discussed the next thing in detail.

……

Not far from the gazebo, Wang Miaoyan stood tall with a little maid, looking at the two maids guarding in front of the gazebo.

In order to make things easier for her, the crown prince handed over to her the rosters of all the nobles and ministers in the capital that had been collected over the years, so that she could memorize them by heart.

The records in this roster are extremely detailed, not only including appearance, name, and position, but also corresponding family members and relatives.Even the most important maid in the family had her face painted and recorded in detail.

In the end, she made a copy of this booklet and sent it to Princess Chu.

Seeing these two maids, Wang Miaoyan naturally understood that in the gazebo were Lu Shi and Wu Jiao, the eldest concubines of Duke Zhong's mansion.

Looking at the scene, the two people in the gazebo must be discussing some secret matter, and they didn't want others to hear it, so they chose this place.

Since he couldn't get close, Wang Miaoyan turned around and walked towards the lotus pond.

When we arrived at the lotus pond, several girls in expensive clothes were sitting under the shade of a tree, discussing something eagerly.Seeing her approaching from a distance, he couldn't keep his mouth shut, but his eyes revealed a look of disdain.

Gao Jianan said, "Shh...she came over."

Cheng Huixin raised her head and said, "What are you afraid of? Let's talk about ourselves and ignore her!"

Wang Miaoyan knew these ladies, Gao Jianan and Cheng Huixin had the highest identities, and the others were just girls from the uncle's residence, so naturally they talked with them.

She shook her head secretly in her heart: "These are girls who don't know the sufferings of the world, let's go crazy for a few more days, and you will suffer when you marry someone." Looking at these girls now, she feels a bit superior.

Or because she has experienced too much, Wang Miaoyan only feels that she has experienced many vicissitudes.

She walked up to these ladies and stood not far away, as if she was looking at the infinite scenery of the blue lotus pond, but she was actually listening attentively to their conversation.

These aristocratic daughters are all loved ones at home, so they were brought here by their mothers, and they are qualified to participate in this high-standard summer banquet.Their father and brother would inadvertently reveal some precious news to them.

Wang Miaoyan is here just to hear what they will say.Even if there is no gain, it doesn't matter.Her mission is to take advantage of people's unsuspecting attitude towards her, and what she can hear is beyond his control.

Seeing that she didn't come over, they also relaxed their vigilance.

They just finished talking about what happened during the Dragon Boat Festival, Gao Jianan said softly: "I don't know who the woman who fell down is? It is said that Liu Shizi is a mess, but this time he is actually a hero to save the beauty."

After speaking, she looked yearning.Which girl is not Huaichun?Don't you dream of being rescued by Prince Charming who fell from the sky in times of crisis?She thought it was very romantic.

Cheng Huixin sneered, and said: "What's the matter? Let me tell you, that woman deserved the bad luck. To be hugged by Prince Liu in broad daylight, if she doesn't have enough status, she will be a concubine."

Originally, there were a few girls who had the same thoughts as Gao Jianan, but when she said that, they were all a little embarrassed.For a while, it was cold.

Seeing that no one responded to what she said, Cheng Huixin was already arrogant and wanted to explode immediately.

The other girl knew her temperament. Seeing that her complexion was not good, she hurriedly said: "There is something else on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival. I heard what my elder brother said, but you don't know."

"what? What?"

Her expression aroused everyone's curiosity, and they asked again and again.

"The game was over that day, and my elder brother was about to go home when he saw the young master of the Marquis of Jinnan molesting a woman. Do you know who that woman is?" She asked mysteriously.

"Who?" All the girls asked in unison.

"It's today's protagonist, the adopted daughter that Mrs. Zhuang just accepted."

"what?"

Hearing this, all the girls looked in disbelief.

Gao Jianan had a good temper and said sternly: "Is this a real thing? It's about women's fame, so don't talk about it."

When the girl heard this, she became a little anxious, and hurriedly swore and swore: "What I said is absolutely true. The eldest brother said that when Lei Ba saw her, he jumped at her like a fly seeing meat. Later, I didn't know why Let her go again."

Cheng Huixin has been displeased with Xu Wan for a long time. Hearing what she said, her eyes shone brightly, and she said excitedly: "I just said she is not a good person! Pretending to be dignified and respectful, she is cold all day long. Treat her as a chaste and martyr."

Her voice got a little louder, Gao Jianan hurriedly covered her mouth and said, "Stop talking! Even if she has something, you are not what we should talk about."

How can the real young lady chew other people's tongues behind their backs?If others listen to it, they will all be taught by their mother.
