The reborn abandoned woman reigns

Chapter 112 The first confrontation
"Since you can't control it, don't control it and follow your heart," Changsun Jingrong patted Duan Xirong's shoulder lightly, his tone was as soft as a cloud, rippling in people's hearts, unconsciously , and forgot the troubles in the world, "From now on, you have to defeat your own demons, so that you can be worthy of those who care about you and love you. Instead, stay in the house all day as before, except for the second wife What is the use of watching jokes? There are not many opportunities to choose happiness. When you meet, you must try to seize it. From now on, you should never run away and take your time. You are so strong , there will definitely be a day when you will forget those unpleasant things and start over."

Looking at the resolute eyes of the eldest grandson Jingrong, Duan Xirong seemed to see hope, she murmured: "Can I really do it?"

"Of course," Changsun Jingrong smiled confidently, and said, "Practice, let's start with eating together! Today you all come to the Nine Princes Mansion, and I will be the host, so that everyone can sit together and have a drink without distinction?"

"This...is too fast."

"It's not fast at all, it's just for you to taste the handicraft of a servant girl," Bihe said happily as she bent down happily when she mentioned that there was a dinner party.

Seeing everyone looking happy, Duan Xirong nodded involuntarily as if he had been exaggerated, agreeing.

Knowing that he was able to have dinner with Duan Xirong, Qiao Ruilin was very happy. He was very grateful to his eldest grandson Jingrong, and then he plunged into the room and started to tinker.After waiting for half an hour, he transformed into a handsome young man, his demeanor was really excellent.

Looking at Qiao Ruilin with satisfaction, Qiao Shan'er said happily: "My parents will definitely be very happy when they see my brother like this."

Patting Qiao Shan'er on the head, Qiao Ruilin said: "Don't look envious, you forgot, you are also the pride of your parents."

Smiling shyly, Qiao Shan'er handed a brocade box to Qiao Ruilin's hand, and said, "Miss asked me to give this to you, you have to keep it well."

"What is this?" He opened the brocade box suspiciously, and saw a pair of silver locks safely inside, which made Qiao Ruilin's cheeks blush, and hurriedly closed it carefully, saying, "This, it's a little early. "

"It's not too early. If this can be done, parents will be able to have a happy event when they come back. How wonderful would it be for double happiness?"

Seemingly thinking that Qiao Shan'er's proposal was very reliable, Qiao Ruilin touched his head and smiled honestly.

"Miss and Bihe have already returned home, let's hurry up too, don't let Miss Duan San wait for us."

After hearing this, Qiao Ruilin hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, it is very rude to ask the girl to wait."

Seeing Qiao Ruilin's dazed look, Qiao Shan'er couldn't help feeling amused.

At the beginning of the moonlight, in the front hall of the Nine Princes' Mansion, the banquet was in full swing at this moment, and there were laughter and laughter among the wine and wine.Without the grievances of identity, the master and servant sat together happily, and it was relaxed and at ease.

But Qiao Ruilin, who was sitting next to Duan Xirong, was not so comfortable anymore. He sat upright all night, always looking at the woman beside him, almost cramp.

And Duan Xirong didn't feel much better, she sat there and didn't dare to move, for fear that she would see those scorching eyes if she turned her head. At this moment, her waist was almost hardened into a stone.

Feeling that there is no way to go on like this, Duan Xirong raised his glass to his eldest grandson Jingrong and said: "Xirong, thank you for the hospitality today, and I would like to offer you a cup!"

Hearing this, the eldest grandson Jingrong looked at Duan Xirong, and said with a smile, "It's good that Miss Duan San likes it." As he spoke, he raised his head and drank the wine in his glass.

Following his movements, Duan Xirong could feel Qiao Ruilin's more confused gaze, so he casually searched for a sentence and asked:

"Well, isn't the prince at the mansion today?"

"Oh, that guy said that the court has something to do today, so he left in a hurry."

"But, isn't the prince still in good health?"

"He has his own way of doing things, and I'm not his nanny, so I can keep watching him." Changsun Jingrong drank nonchalantly, then looked at Duan Xirong as if he suddenly thought of something, and sure enough, he saw her Like sitting on pins and needles, some at a loss.

Hey, Qiao Ruilin is a rotten piece of wood, do you think that the girl will talk to you on his own initiative if he keeps staring at you like this?

With a helpless sigh in his heart, the eldest grandson Jingrong looked at Duan Xirong with a smile, and said, "By the way, I heard that Miss Duan San likes games very much. How about we have a competition later?"

"Heh, Xi Rong would rather obey orders than be respectful."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Ruilin's eyes lit up, and he opened his mouth to say something, but was stopped by the eldest grandson Jingrong who found out the clue.

"By the way, Bihe, do you still have soup that you haven't served yet?"

After being reminded by Changsun Jingrong, Bihe clapped her hands and said, "Oh, it's true, hehe, servant girl, let's go!"

Looking at the relieved Duan Xirong, the eldest grandson Jingrong said: "Although this girl Bihe is a little confused, she has nothing to say about her craftsmanship. You will know after a while."

After saying this, the eldest grandson Jingrong winked at Qiao Shan'er, and after Qiao Shan'er understood, she hurriedly grabbed Qiao Ruilin's arm, winked and said, "Brother, didn't you say you want to eat sweet and sour pork ribs? Eat more!" As he said, he picked up a bone and stuffed it into Qiao Ruilin's mouth.

"Woooo-"

Looking at Qiao Ruilin sobbing from the corner of the eye, Duan Xirong couldn't help covering his lips and smiling.

In a peaceful atmosphere, Bi He walked slowly carrying a tray.There were several bowls of fresh soup on the tray, and Bi He placed a bowl for everyone on the table, then straightened up, just as she was about to sell melons to boast about herself, she saw the butler coming over and beckoned to herself.

Bi He trotted over, looked at the housekeeper and asked with a smile, "What's the matter?"

"It's like this. A girl outside the door said she wanted to see the princess."

Touching her head suspiciously, Bi He asked, "It's so late, who wants to see our princess?"

"I don't know about this either. Go and ask the princess if you want to let that girl in?"

"Okay, I'll ask." Bi He turned around and ran to Changsun Jingrong's side, and whispered in her ear what she had just heard.

After Changsun Jingrong heard this, his eyes narrowed, and he said, "It's definitely not a simple role to choose at this time. I'm really curious, who wants to play against me again. Butler, bring that person in!"

"Yes."

After a while, the butler went back and forth, and behind him was a girl in a cloak.The butler turned around, and the girl stood pretty in front of the crowd, and slowly took off her roller hat, revealing a heroic and somewhat quiet face in front of everyone.

Snowflakes were blowing outside, flying all over the sky, occasionally a few of them flew in, landed on the woman's long hair, and melted instantly.Against the backdrop of the night, the woman's black eyes seemed to be able to speak, with a touch of passion and a touch of coldness.

While the woman was looking at herself, the eldest grandson Jingrong also looked at her, calmly, neither of them seemed to have any intention of speaking.In the end, the woman smiled, tilted her head slightly, looked at Changsun Jingrong and said, "You are Changsun Jingrong, right? I heard daddy mentioning you. When I saw you today, you really are not an ordinary girl."

With his arm supporting his chin, Changsun Jingrong said with a smile: "Since the girl knows my identity, as a courtesy, should I also know the girl's name?"

The smile on her lips gradually deepened, as if the woman was chanting a spell, she focused everyone's attention on herself, and said lightly, "My servant, Xue Lingruo."

Hearing this name, everyone present changed their faces, except the eldest grandson Jingrong.She seemed to have already guessed Xue Lingruo's identity, she just raised her eyebrows and asked the butler to arrange a seat for her.

"Don't bother me, I'm here today just to send a message," Xue Lingruo smiled generously, and said, "My father returned to Beijing early, and the emperor specially arranged a banquet for him, and the Ninth Prince was also at the banquet. It's just that he accidentally drank too much Sorry, it's a bit inconvenient to move around, so I'll stay overnight at the banquet place today. I hope you don't worry."

"It's a common thing, I have nothing to worry about," Changsun Jingrong waved his hands and said with a smile, "if that's the case, I'll ask Miss Xue to take care of it for you. Oh yes, that guy is drunk I like to flirt with women, you'd better keep an eye on the maid beside you, otherwise if you get involved by him, then this palace will be blessed with double happiness!"

Hearing this, Xue Lingruo looked at the eldest grandson Jingrong with some surprise, then smiled faintly at him, and got up to leave.

Seeing Xue Lingruo left, Bi He slapped the table angrily, and said angrily: "What, it's the first time I come here, and I want to show off!? She doesn't even look at her status and what qualifications she has to be here Pointing fingers! She still has to take care of the prince, ah bah, she is so disrespectful of shame and etiquette, I really don't know how those rumors come from outside!"

Qiao Shan'er was not as angry as Bi He, she looked at her eldest grandson Jingrong worriedly, and said: "Since you entered the mansion, the prince has never stayed out all night. I am afraid that there is a fraud in it, why don't you go and have a look?" .”

"What do you look at, if he is a big man who is tricked by a woman, would he still have the nerve to live? Just find Kuai Tofu and kill him!" Changsun Jingrong drank a glass of wine coldly and said, "Let's Continue to eat ours, let him handle his own affairs!"

"But the prince's injury hasn't healed yet. Drinking like this may be bad for your health."

"Hmph, only he knows whether his own injury hurts, and he doesn't even cherish it. Why should we be sympathetic?"

"Then if it's an order from the emperor, it's hard not to obey."

There was a pause in the movement, Changsun Jingrong seemed to hesitate a bit, but in the end he insisted and said: "Even if I go now, I have no excuse to drag him back, instead I will scare the snake, so it is better to stay the same. "

After thinking carefully for a moment, Duan Xirong said: "There are countless dirty methods in the palace. If this Xue Lingruo really wants to marry into the palace, then she will definitely take action tonight. In order to prevent problems, it is best for the princess to find someone to marry her." Those who are at ease should watch. In this way, we can not only protect the prince, but also prevent Xue Lingruo and his ilk from taking advantage of it."

When the two girls heard this, they nodded in agreement and followed suit to persuade.In the end, Changsun Jingrong reluctantly asked He Da to go for a walk as if he couldn't bear the noise of these women.

The good banquet was disturbed by Xue Lingruo's appearance, Duan Xirong saw that he was not fit to stay any longer, so he got up to leave.

The eldest grandson Jingrong felt a little guilty, and said that he would invite Duan Xirong to be a guest another day, and then there would be no such messy things, and let him drink happily.Then he was worried that it would be unsafe for her to go back late at night, so he asked Qiao Ruilin to escort her all the way back.

Qiao Ruilin had waited all night for the opportunity, but he couldn't say a word to Duan Xirong. Now that he was finally able to get along with Duan Xirong alone, he couldn't help but gear up and be overjoyed.

Perhaps it was because of Xue Lingruo that Duan Xirong was slightly melancholy and kept quiet on the way back home.

Qiao Ruilin had been secretly observing her, and seeing that Duan Xirong was unhappy, he couldn't help mustering up his courage, and asked, "Why, did you not eat well today?"

"No, the concubine prepared it with great care, and I ate very happily," Duan Xirong said hastily, "It's only until today that I know that the concubine, who appears to have infinite style on the surface, is not living a life that is completely satisfactory."

Speaking of grandson Jingrong, Qiao Ruilin couldn't help but sighed softly, and said: "Miss is used to being tough, and likes to keep everything in her heart, but what outsiders see is only a piece of inspirational life, only Miss herself knows how bitter her heart is."

"I heard that the prince treats the concubine very well. I still hope that there will be a happy woman in the high school. But today, it seems that the happiness of the concubine will be coveted by others. Life is still not peaceful."

Seeing the melancholy in Duan Xirong's tone, Qiao Ruilin suddenly held her hand and said courageously: "It is precisely because happiness is hard-won that we must hold on to it! Everyone will encounter different difficulties, as long as you have the courage to Face it, break the barrier with your own hands, and there will be a day when you will regain peace. We are the same, although I know you can’t accept me now, but I will wait for you, let’s take it slowly, sooner or later, you will let go of your heart Those old things, open your heart and accept mine!"

With brilliance like broken stars shining in his eyes, Duan Xirong looked at Qiao Ruilin with some emotion, and was moved by his words from the bottom of his heart.But the cold wind blew past and took away the heat from her body, making Duan Xirong's mind cool down, and he slowly regained his mind.Withdrawing her palm silently, Duan Xirong said in a low voice, "I'm sorry."

Seeing Duan Xirong's lonely back, Qiao Ruilin was not discouraged, but cheered for himself, thinking that as long as she doesn't run away, he still has a chance!

At the same time, the atmosphere in the Ninth Prince's Mansion was not so warm.

Bi He directed a few girls to clean up the front hall, Qiao Shan'er prepared hot water for the eldest grandson Jingrong's bath, and helped the eldest grandson Jingrong take a bath and change clothes.

The warm water flowed through his limbs, and Changsun Jingrong closed his eyes slightly, enjoying the tranquility of this moment.It's just that in her mind, some images were circling rapidly, which made her unable to stop for a moment.

In the picture in my mind, Xue Lingruo is wearing a faintly visible pink gauze dress, kneeling beside Sima Xukong, feeding him fresh grapes.The big palm began to follow Xue Lingruo's soft curves, and the fingertips were not honestly moving. After a while, Xue Lingruo's face flushed and his breathing became unsteady...

Changsun Jingrong shook his head vigorously, trying to get rid of these annoying things, but found that these pictures seemed to grow inside, and he couldn't drive them away no matter how hard he tried.The eldest grandson Jingrong, who was very stuffy, opened his eyes suddenly, stretched out his hand and slapped the surface of the water vigorously, splashing a burst of water.

Qiao Shan'er who heard the sound hurriedly opened the door and came in, but saw the water stains all over the floor, she couldn't help asking in surprise: "Miss, do you think the water temperature is not suitable?"

"It's nothing, it's very good here, you go out first!"

Qiao Shan'er was stunned for a moment, then she thought about what was bothering her eldest grandson Jingrong, shook her head helplessly, and obediently retreated out.

His chest was heaving and rising, Changsun Jingrong ordered himself to be quiet, not to get angry over unnecessary things.Turning his eyes around, the eldest grandson Jingrong seemed to think of something suddenly, got up and wiped his body casually with a cloth towel, and then sat at the table with only a burqa on, writing something with a pen.

When Qiao Shan'er was about to come in to help her eldest grandson Jingrong get out of the bath, she saw that her eldest grandson Jingrong was already sitting at the table, she couldn't help but wondered, "Miss, why did you come out by yourself?"

"After soaking for a long time, my heart was really bored, so I got up and sat down."

While tidying up the mess, Qiao Shaner asked cautiously: "Miss, it's so late, why don't you rest after bathing, what are you doing?"

"I'm trying to figure out the guest list for the opening day of the new store."

Qiao Shan'er was so shocked by this answer that she was speechless, and after a long while she murmured: "Miss, when can't these things be prepared? It's so late, you should rest first. And if the prince tomorrow We haven’t come back yet, we still need to send a sedan chair to pick him up.”

"What did you pick him up for? If you want to come back, come back!" These words seemed to touch the sore foot of the eldest grandson Jingrong. He threw the pen aside and said sharply, "It would be better if he found it outside." Yes, then just don’t come back!”

Seeing that the grandson Jingrong was furious, Qiao Shan'er knew that the prince must be dead when he comes back this time!It's just that Miss usually doesn't care about anything, how could she be so angry because of a little Xue Lingruo today?Could it be that something happened between the lady and the prince?

Early in the morning of the second day, Changsun Jingrong was half asleep and half awake when he heard a noise outside the door, sat up with a gloomy expression, and called Bihe.

"What happened outside?"

"Oh, it's the Ninth Prince who's back, and he's clamoring outside to see Miss."

Bi He's words made eldest grandson Jingrong's face even uglier, and said with a frown, "Haven't you sobered up all night? Even if you want to get drunk, let him go away!"

Perhaps seeing Bihe coming in, Sima Xukong knew that his eldest grandson Jingrong had woken up, so he simply shouted outside: "Jingrong, I have something very important to tell you, let me in first! "
