Chapter 27 Helping the General's Mansion Survive the Darkest Hour
Yun Ran lowered her voice to a very low level: "Miss, your sunflower water should have come yesterday, but it didn't come today."
"Hush." Su Luo said, "Let's talk about it in a few days."
The time is too short and I can’t feel the pulse.
She asked someone to clean up the bloodstains on the ground and then went to comfort Yun Xueya.
Su Luo almost didn't sleep all night. When it was almost dawn, she fell into the soft tent of the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
Mo Jin, with several wine jars scattered on the eaves, watched as the twinkling star lights shining through the window lattice went out.
How can an orphan girl, who went from having enough food and clothing to having her family broken up and her loved ones destroyed, support herself?
The widowed mother was sick and weak, the servants rebelled, the relatives were malicious, the husband's family was wiped out, and the husband hid his mistress at home and deceived her into marriage and having twins.
How can she break the deadlock?
So she chose to be with me?
Mo Jin scoffed.
If she was instructed by someone, or by the Marquis' Mansion, to be hidden beside him as a chess piece, Mo Jin would kill her directly when he had enough of her.
But if it is to use him to protect the general's mansion.
So……
It's not impossible if we take good care of him.
If even a little bit of grace slips through the gaps between fingers, it will be enough to save the general's mansion from desperate situation.
"Qin Zhengyu."
"I'm here."
"Put people in
Enter the General's Mansion." Mo Jin straightened his sleeves. In the darkness, he looked like Yama, the judge of life and death.
"I know this, and I will definitely place the best spies there.
Go to the General's Mansion to monitor..."
Before Qin Zhengyu finished speaking, Mo Jin glanced at him. Qin Zhengyu was stunned for a moment, but soon realized that he had said something wrong and immediately said:
"I will place useful chess pieces
Enter the mansion and help the General's Mansion overcome its darkest hour."
"I didn't say that." Mo Jin's face was full of indifference.
Although the prince didn't say it, subordinates must be aware of this, and this is definitely what the prince meant.
…
Su Luo slept until the afternoon.
The Marquis' Mansion sent someone to ask Su Luo when she would return home.
Su Luo said to the servant of the Marquis' Mansion, "Tell the prince that there are still some matters to be dealt with in the General's Mansion. I will stay for two more days."
…
Zhou Yan ran away halfway through the return visit banquet that day.
Li Ziyan frowned and scolded, "Yan'er, I don't care what you do, but you must win Su Luo's heart."
"Mother, Nan'er was injured that day, so I had to come back." Zhou Yan sighed while holding the swaddled baby girl.
"Injured? Why didn't I hear about it?" After all, she was her first granddaughter. Li Ziyan reached out worriedly, "Let me hold her, grandma, take a look."
Zhou Yan carefully rolled up the baby girl's clothes, revealing an inch-long wound on her arm.
Li Ziyan frowned distressedly: "That day
If you go back home, if Nan'er was injured, Jiaojiao should have come to me first, but she went so far as to send someone to find you... and she never mentioned Nan'er's injury to me. "
As she spoke, Li Zi Yan's face darkened slightly, and she realized what Li Jiaojiao was up to.
She wholeheartedly wanted Su Luo to fall completely in love with her son, and was willing to use her family fortune to support the Marquisate. She was planning for the future of the Marquisate every day, but Li Jiaojiao was still thinking about being jealous...
She was obviously well-behaved, sensible and obedient before she gave birth to the child. Why did she start to act stupidly as soon as she gave birth to the child and entered the house?
If this continues...
I’m afraid Su Luo will find out sooner or later.
Li Ziyan frowned and shook the rattle to tease
While playing with his granddaughter, he was fussing in his mind.
After a while, she said, "Go and call my cousin over."
Shaoyao was holding the little boy and trying to comfort him, but today the little boy couldn't be comforted no matter what he did. He kept crying and it seemed like he was having flatulence.
Li Jiaojiao was tortured by the crying day and night. She bit Chuntao hard and said, "Cry, cry, cry, all you do is cry! Cover his mouth for me."
"Ah?" Shaoyao didn't dare, this child was so precious.
"I haven't slept much in three days and three nights because he kept making noises. Now my heart starts to palpitate when I hear him crying!"
Li Jiaojiao was complaining when she heard someone walking into the yard. She looked out and saw that it was Nanny Ruiqing who was beside her aunt, and she immediately fell silent.
"My dear cousin, Madam asks you to go to the main hall." Nanny Ruiqing bowed and said respectfully.
"But what's the matter?" Li Jiaojiao asked.
"Madam saw the injuries on Sister Nan'er's body and probably wanted to ask you what happened."
Li Jiaojiao's heart skipped a beat and she casually grabbed a gold hairpin in front of the dressing mirror. She had bought it casually in the store last time and had worn it once or twice, but it was still new.
When they walked into the main hall, Li Jiaojiao glanced at Li Ziyan's expression, and her guess was confirmed in her heart. She smiled and coaxed with a light tone:
"Auntie, your hair is done up in a beautiful, twisted bun today. You look so radiant. No wonder you're so beloved by my uncle! When you stood there so straight, I thought you were a young girl!"
Li Ziyan's brows relaxed slightly, but soon frowned even tighter.
Li Jiaojiao spoke kind words without asking for money, just like pouring beans, and her words were particularly sincere and heartfelt: "Look, aunt, this is a hairpin I picked out especially for you after going to seven or eight jewelry stores. When I saw it, I felt it was especially suitable for you!"
Then he put the hairpin on Li Ziyan's head and said in surprise, "It's so beautiful."
But Li Zi Yan just gently took off the hairpin and pressed it on the table, making a loud "pop" sound.
Li Jiaojiao pretended not to understand, but heard Li Ziyan dismiss the servants.
Li Jiaojiao couldn't laugh this time.
"Jiaojiao, sit down." Li Zi Yan glanced at the gold hairpin with a strand of long hair twisted around it and sneered in her heart. Her niece said it was newly bought, but in fact it was something her niece had worn before and didn't want anymore. Perhaps because the strand of hair was inconspicuous, Li Jiaojiao didn't pick it out.
Giving her something she's worn before? Haha.
Li Ziyan's tone was already unhappy: "Jiaojiao, I hope you understand what you should do and what you shouldn't do."
"Aunt, you mean..."
"Don't do anything to compete for your cousin's favor, and don't do anything that conflicts with your cousin's wife."
These words were like a stone that stirred up a thousand waves! Li Jiaojiao felt extremely unwilling and secretly cursed the old woman in her heart. She said she would give her a legitimate status, so why was she still siding with Su Luo today?
It seems like he was lying to her all along? Tricking her into giving birth? And then he stopped pretending after the baby was born?!
Li Jiaojiao immediately knelt down and used a self-torture trick in front of Zhou Yan. Her eyes were red and she cried sadly:
"Jiaojiao knows her status is humble, how dare she compete with her sister-in-law for favor? Jiaojiao didn't do anything wrong. Aunt, please don't misunderstand Jiaojiao! Jiaojiao is very obedient. If Jiaojiao did anything wrong, Aunt, just tell her directly. Please don't scold Jiaojiao indiscriminately..."
"Jiaojiao, get up. It's my mother's fault. She shouldn't have misunderstood you." Zhou Yan immediately felt distressed and hurriedly supported Li Jiaojiao.
Li Ziyan, who felt a boomerang hit her: "?"
Why didn't she realize before that her niece was so scheming?
At this moment, Li Zi Yan was very annoyed by Li Jiaojiao's crying!
It would have been fine if she had just admitted her mistake today, but she resorted to that self-torture tactic. Li Ziyan's face darkened: "As a woman, what do you think? I don't understand what tricks you are playing?"
"You said the wound on Sister Nan's arm was caused by Shaoyao accidentally bumping into something? Where did she get bumped?"
Li Jiaojiao was prepared for this and immediately said, "A vase was accidentally broken that day, and Sister Nan'er's arm was accidentally scratched."
"That's bullshit!" Li Ziyan said, "Rui Qing."
Nanny Ruiqing smashed a vase and ordered someone to bring a puppy.
She picked up the fragments and scratched the puppy, then said to Zhou Yan, "Look, my lord, this is what a scratch looks like."
"And the young master's injuries are neat and smooth. To be honest, with my knowledge over the years, I don't think they were caused by fragments, but rather..."
"Knife wound."
Zhou Yan's expression suddenly changed, and he looked at Li Jiaojiao!
