Chapter 14: The Stand-in Heroine's Counterattack 14
"Why do you ask this, father?"
Prime Minister Luo looked embarrassed and coughed softly, "Cheng Qingning and the others have become very famous in the capital recently. If you are still in touch with them, you might as well take this opportunity to get in touch with them. It will be good for both you and the Prime Minister's Mansion!"
Of course, the most important thing is to be good to the Prime Minister’s Mansion!
He didn't believe that what happened to Cheng Qingning and the others was a coincidence. It was very likely that these noble ladies received instructions from someone and suddenly did something that was beneficial to the court!
If he could find the person behind the scenes, why would the Prime Minister's Mansion have to worry about decline in the future?
Prime Minister Luo never thought that the person standing behind him and giving instructions was A Yan in front of him.
Even though this daughter had become different from before, in his eyes, she was still just a little girl who was not presentable enough!
It will definitely not amount to anything great!
Ah Yan said slowly, "I do have some contacts with Sister Cheng and the others. Sister Cheng seems to have received a reward from the Emperor these days, and she also sent me a lot of gifts!"
Prime Minister Luo listened with an approving look on his face, "Very good, you are a smart child."
Ah Yan looked up at him and said, "However, some time ago, they asked me out to play. But I was still under house arrest, so I had to reject Sister Cheng's kindness. Now I don't know if they will be angry with me!"
Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Luo's breathing suddenly stagnated.
Could it be that Cheng Qingning and the others were secretly planning some time ago?
His heart choked. He never expected that because he wanted to vent his eldest daughter's anger, he missed the opportunity to let the Prime Minister's Mansion appear in front of the Emperor!
Prime Minister Luo looked extremely ugly.
Ah Yan added fuel to the fire slowly, "It's strange to say, Sister Cheng seemed to have something important to discuss with me. Several sisters sent me three letters on the same day, and there seemed to be something difficult to say in their words. Father, do you think they are in trouble?"
Prime Minister Luo was so depressed that he was about to vomit blood.
How could Cheng Qingning be in trouble? It was obvious that she wanted to get Luo Qingyan to join her.
It’s a pity that he missed this great opportunity!
The families of those noble ladies were rewarded to varying degrees. Even Cheng Qingning's useless brother was promoted to a higher rank.
A Yan looked indifferent as she watched Prime Minister Luo gritting his teeth because the Prime Minister's Mansion had lost the opportunity to appear in front of the Emperor.
In addition to his three daughters, Prime Minister Luo also has two sons. If she can be rewarded along with Cheng Qingning this time, the two brothers in the mansion will also be looked up to by others. They may even be promoted like Cheng Qingning's brothers.
But unfortunately, he missed it!
Prime Minister Luo secretly resented himself. He should not have listened to Qingcheng and let her vent her anger, causing the Prime Minister's Mansion to suffer such a huge loss for no reason!
Prime Minister Luo took a long time to calm down and said gently, "If Cheng Qingning comes to see you again in the future, just keep the appointment."
"I don't." A Yan smiled.
Prime Minister Luo thought he had misheard for a moment, "What did you say?"
Ah Yan said in a crisp voice: "Didn't you hear clearly, father? Then I'll say it again. I said I don't want it! Sister Cheng asked me out before, but father didn't let me go out. Now that Sister Cheng has been rewarded by the emperor, father asked me to go find Sister Cheng. What does father think of me? I am definitely not the kind of person who would try hard to curry favor with a friend when he is successful!"
Prime Minister Luo's face turned pale, "How dare you! Who told you to curry favor with Cheng Qingning? I just told you to be friends with them and cultivate your relationship!"
Ah Yan still said: "But I don't want to!"
Prime Minister Luo said sternly: "You can't help wanting it! Luo Qingyan, you are my daughter, you must do whatever I tell you to do! If you dare to disobey..."
"What will you do?"
A Yan raised his eyes, his eyes were filled with indifference.
For the first time, the sweet and innocent smile on her face was gone, and she was left with a look of indifference that made people feel cold for no reason.
Ah Yan whispered: "Blackmail me with my marriage? But father, I don't care whether I get married or not, or who I marry! Or send me to the farm to give me a small punishment or a big warning?
If I lose even a hair, Sister Cheng will personally bring people to ask my father! So, you can't threaten me. Now the person who should be afraid is you!"
Prime Minister Luo looked at her with a cold face.
For some reason, I feel like everything is out of control!
He gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Come here, take the second young lady back! I don't believe that I can't control a little girl like you!"
Two servants rushed into the study, one on the left and one on the right, reaching out to grab A Yan's wrist.
Ah Yan took two steps away, his expression unchanged, "Don't bother, I will walk back by myself."
She looked at Prime Minister Luo meaningfully, then turned and walked out of the study.
Back in the courtyard, Green Wall became even more frightened when he learned that his young lady had angered the master.
But he couldn't bear to say a harsh word to A Yan and could only sigh to himself.
The treatment in the hospital is deteriorating at a visible rate.
The number of servants was reduced by half, and the meals became leftovers.
Green Wall was extremely anxious. She was holding her small purse in her pockets and wanted to sneak out to buy some delicious food for her young lady, but she found that her young lady had learned to climb walls without realizing it!
She was really climbing the wall. She lifted up her skirt and climbed up the wall with both hands.
He stood there and waved at her, "Stay in the yard. If anyone comes, tell them I'm sick and won't see anyone!"
Green Wall stared blankly at A Yan disappearing over the wall.
A Yan jumped off the wall, and a person came out of the carriage parked below. It was Cheng Qingning, whom she had not seen for a long time.
Seeing the usually quiet A Yan climbing over the wall, Cheng Qingning was no less shocked than Green Wall.
"Ayan, you..."
Ah Yan blushed, feeling embarrassed, "It happened for a reason. I'm not like this normally!"
Cheng Qingning's eyes sparkled, and she suddenly rushed over and hugged the girl into her arms, "Ayan, you were so handsome just now! I've never seen anyone who looks so good even when climbing over a wall!"
Ah Yan's face flushed, "Sister Cheng, stop making fun of me!"
Cheng Qingning dragged her onto the carriage. "I originally thought that you were a delicate and weak girl, and I was afraid that you would be bullied in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Now that I see it again, I feel much more relieved. Come on, I'll take you to see Xue'er and the others! The sisters are all waiting to see you!"
A Yan agreed obediently and returned to being the delicate little girl she was.
Cheng Qingning looked at her in surprise and rubbed her cheek vigorously, "Ayan, don't worry! The Prime Minister's Mansion won't hold you for long, you will definitely be free!"
