Chapter 161

Rong Xiangmian didn’t bother to pay attention to him, Zhou Xianyang went to put it up himself and came back next to her, “Have you forgotten that we still have someone from the State Duke’s Office in our hands?”

Rong Xiangmian’s heart fluttered: “The son of the lady’s companion, whose arson case is still pending.”

Zhou Xian Yang said, “The Nine Gate Arrest Battalion found the arsonist a long time ago, but these days there are so many things to do, I forgot about it. It’s the New Year’s Eve, so tell him to go back to the Duke’s Mansion and ask about us.”

Rong Xiangmian thought that Lai Fu was about the same age as himself, so he shouldn’t know much about it. So he instructed Linlang, “Take two of your maids to the State Duke’s Mansion, and call out Madam’s concubine. Tell them that it’s almost New Year’s Eve, and that Yulong and the Princess are kind enough to go to the Jing Yi Yuan to bring their son back for a reunion.”

Lin Lang immediately understood: “Yes.”

“You talk nicely to madam, don’t let her think I’m making things difficult for her people.”

“Understood.”

Not long after, Meng Zhenru holding an umbrella outside the door said, “The couplets are done, outside is hanging, your highness and princess if you have time, go to palm eye, if not good, immediately change.”

Rong Xiangmian put down the scissors and got up, Feixue immediately hit the umbrella. Zhou Xian Yang took over: “I accompany your girl on the past, you busy yourselves.”

He moved closer to Rong Xiangmian and said, “Stay close to me, don’t let the snowflakes get your hair wet.”

Feiyun had originally opened an umbrella at the back, but when she saw their behavior, she immediately put it away, smiled and quietly went back to the house.

Xiangmian followed Xian Yang from the backyard to the main gate, stopping and starting.

Along the way, the people in the royal family stopped what they were doing and saluted.

Walking through the new Yü Wang Mansion in the midst of snowflakes, Zhou Xian Yang realizes once again that this is not a place to rest, but his home, a place he must protect.

When they reached the main gate, they stood in the open space in front of the gate and watched a few boys climb the ladder to replace the couples.

Old Meng bowed at the side and waited for orders.

He was relieved to hear Zhou Xian Yang say that he had written well.

Rong Xiangxian smiled and said, “You all work hard all year round, so come outside the council chamber after lunch to receive your annual rewards.”

Old Meng, the boy and the concierge bowed and thanked him.

The road to and fro, are shopping for new year’s goods people, many stop to look at the Yuhang House new couplets, now see that umbrella pair of young men and women, some people sharp eyes, whispering and exchanging ears: “Yo, this is not Yuhang and Wangfei?”

“They look so good together.”

“That’s not true, His Majesty gave the marriage, if not for her beauty, with the Wangfei’s background, she wouldn’t have been able to marry into the Yü Wang family …….”

These words were hidden in the noisy marketplace, Rong Xiangmian didn’t pay attention to them at all, but Zhou Xian Yang’s ears were very good, and his eyes instantly locked onto the two people across the street.

Those two people were cold, seeing King Yu’s pair of eyes sweeping over, their necks shrank in fear.

“What’s wrong?” Rong Xiangyang followed his eyes into the distance.

Zhou Xian Yang turned back and said, “Remembering when I was far away in the borderlands, only the princess was willing to marry me, a brat with no title or position. Thank you, Xiangmian, for giving me a home.”

Rong Xiangmian looked around and saw that the people under the household all had their heads bowed, and said in embarrassment, “Why are you talking about this now?”

Zhou Xian Yang smiled as if no one else was there, and took Xiangmian’s hand, “What other errands has the Princess assigned to me, let’s hear about them.”

Duchess of England’s attitude towards Linlang was better than the other maids. Because she was a person of Consort Hui in the palace.

This time, Linlang sent Yu Wangfu’s annual gift, and said that the lady’s accompanying room to go and collect people, she was a little surprised: “How willing to release people?”

Linlang said: “Wangfei said, a large family, arm folded or to the sleeve to hide good, which have let outsiders know the reason. She is surnamed Rong, and naturally understands the reasoning of “one glory for all, one loss for all”. As long as the lady can restrain the state house up and down, and then do not do things that are unfavorable to Yuhangfu, she is still towards the state house. That Lai Fu is Mrs. accompanied by the room born, now under the year, no let them flesh and blood separation, or lead back to it. It is only right to turn a big matter into a small one.”

Mrs. nose out of breath: “I told her with the master long ago, she did not listen. Now think understand is good, know that girl is a moment of confusion, now at ease to wait for the birth, tell her to just rest assured. A family of flesh and blood, there is nothing to let go of.”

Said, let Linlang lead people to go.

Mother Xi waited for her to leave before saying, “This matter is considered to be completely closed, madam can rest assured.”

“Well,” the madam looked over the gift list, “She also knows her way around.”

Seeing that her ladyship was happy, mother Xi patted her on the back, “This is all due to your ladyship’s careful teaching. Fourth sister’s son has entered the royal household, and has become more and more experienced, and knows how to take the big picture into consideration.”

“That is natural. Born of a servant girl, without the Duke of State’s House, she is nothing. If something happens to our family, where will she find a place in the royal family?”

The words made Xi mom immediately tighten her smile and didn’t squeak.

There were four accompanying rooms for the lady, and the one with the most face on weekdays was Xi mama. Lai Fu’s parents do not talk a lot, mixed generally, just as some physical errands, fishing oil is also less.

As a result, Rong Xiangzhi knew at first, towards their family to make the silver, make the move.

At the time of the incident, the two families were scared out of their wits, by the Duke of England’s wife severely beaten.

I thought my son was going to die, who knows a inquire, has been in the Jing Yi Garden to see the garden, just can not leave half a step, so let half heart. Have also begged the lady to intercede, so that his son to go home for the New Year, the State Duke of Mrs. listen to not even bother to listen to: “You do this behind my back without the law of the land, but also want me to go to intercede? Do not want your life, already is lenient.”

The old couple on one hand regretted themselves, should not be for the silver, this treacherous behavior. On the other hand, they resented Mrs. Duke of State’s heartlessness, the mastermind of this matter was clearly her daughter, she only cared about protecting her own child, not caring about their children’s deaths and lives.

Now see Yu Wangfu’s maid to pass the message, only feel happy from heaven, busy following the car over.

When they saw their son, his arms and legs were all in one piece, and he was not beaten and suffered, the old couple immediately hugged and cried with their son, and were overjoyed to be reunited.

When they thanked them profusely, Linlang told them: “Lai Fu dared to set fire to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor’s visit, this is a capital offense. It was only because of the attempt that His Highness and His Highness spared his life. If it wasn’t for His Lordship’s leniency, once this matter is told to the Emperor and Empress Dowager, your family would all be dead.”

Laifu kneeled on the ground, desperately kowtowed: “Yes …… thanks to Your Highness and Wangfei great kindness, small never dare again. In the future, day after day for your highness, the royal consort to recite Buddha ……”

Linlang stopped: “It is just, now it is almost the New Year, Wangfei can not bear to separate your family and call you to reunite. It’s just that what do you have to do to repay the kindness of His Highness and the Wangfei?”

Laifu froze for a moment, not knowing how he, a boy, could repay.

His parents in the end had experienced a lot, and busily said, “Your Highness and Your Highness, if you have any instructions, just command.”

Only then was Lin Lang satisfied, saying, “Every word I say next, the three of you are not allowed to reveal a single bit to outsiders.”

“Yes.” Once the old two heard that the Wangfei wanted to inquire about the old story of Aunt Chu’s death back then, they immediately said, “This is something we are really not clear about. If Wangfei wants to know, we’ll just go back and ask around.”

Lin Lang asked again, “Then what were you all doing the night of Aunt Chu’s accident?”

When this came out, both servants looked a little hesitant, and saw Lin Lang coldly say, “Don’t say? The son doesn’t want it?”

Lai Fu’s father immediately said, “That night, madam told us to go to the temple on Yanqing Street to offer incense and then secretly set a fire.”

Linlang was surprised, “What does that Yanqing Street have to do with the State Duke’s Mansion, and why did you go to set it on fire?”

Lai Fu’s mother’s eyes rolled, “I guess, that Yanqing Street and the State Duke’s Mansion both belong to Ping Chang Fang and share a fire-fighting team!”

Linlang winced when she heard this, “You guys are saying that Mrs. Guogong told your man to set a fire somewhere else to lure the firefighting team away so that no one would come to save Aunt Chu’s yard if it burned down!”

“That’s just what my wife guessed just now after hearing the girl’s words. Back then, we were still lamenting that Aunt Chu’s fate was bad, originally the fire-fighting team was only one street away from us, so we might have had time to save her. Who knows, that night the firefighting team went to Yanqing Street first ……”

Linlang angry half dead, his own hand wrote a oral instrument, told Lai Fu parents pressed the handprint, only to let them go back.

Linlang came back and relayed all the words of that couple to Rong Xiangmian.

Xiangmian was lying in the hot water, dispelling the cold brought by a heavy snowfall. Looking at the foggy heat in front of her, her face was flushed and her eyes were frosty.

It was really her, good, the next step was to pick the most painful way for her to die, the most painful death.

Because of this idea, Rong Xiangyang was sullen all night.

When Zhou Xian Yang heard about this, he had a feeling in his heart.

In fact, he had long suspected so. Because the two aunts of the Duke of State’s House were both lifeless, the one who benefited the most from this incident was the Duke of England’s wife.

So whenever Xiangmian said that although the Duchess of State did not love her, she did her duty as a first mother to her, there was always an unspeakably strange feeling in his heart.

If this matter was true, Rong Xiangmian would definitely want the first mother’s life.

Zhou Xian Yang did not know how to comfort her.

All the pain and hatred in this world could not be resolved by a bystander’s self-proclaimed generosity, generosity at the expense of others, and a few words.

After Rong Xiangmian washed up, she sat in front of her dressing table, fidgeting.

Zhou Xian Yang sat on the edge of the bed and quietly watched her.

Her brows were serious for a while, and relaxed for a while, as if she was engaged in a great conflict within her heart.

After a while, she finally gave up on her thoughts and opened the trousseau box. The mirror box first stood up, only to see the mirror surface pasted a paper-cut portrait.

The portrait’s eyebrows, and the description of herself in the mirror, surprisingly have a few similarities.

Xiang Xiang instantly remembered that in the morning, Xian Yang said he wanted to cut a beauty picture, and couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Zhou Xian Yang was then relieved and leaned against the bed frame, asking, “How was it? I’d say it’s a beauty statue, right, or an absolute beauty.”

Rong Xiangmian pursed his lips and hid his smile.

Suddenly, Zhou Xian Yang was inspired, “Here’s my next couplet …… Xiangmian hiding Xiangmian in the mirror.”

“The words are right, but the meaning is a bit off.”

“Then what can be done? Standing under the porch, flying in the air, there are two flying snow in the world, but there is only one meet each other, I had to cut one out. You just be accommodating.”

Rong Xiangmian thought it made sense, so she put down her comb, sat on the edge of the bed, hugged his neck, and kissed him on the cheek.

Zhou Xian Yang took advantage of the situation and collapsed with his arm around her waist, “Where’s my lottery prize?”

Rong Xiangmian wrapped her arms around his neck, “Whatever you want, I’ll do it for you.”

Zhou Xian Yang’s eyes twinkled, “I want to be lazy tonight.”

Rong Xiangmi looked puzzled: “What?”

Without explaining, Zhou Xian Yang rolled over, and Rong Xiang Mi let out a gasp, realizing that she was crouching on top of him.

“What for?”

“Usually I’m the one who sells my labor, tonight it’s your turn.”
