Chapter 167 Oolong incident
After listening to Mrs. Lu's words, Mrs. Leng smiled and said, "This Wen Mingqian is the most scheming. I think she is probably trying to trick you, Madam!"
"What do you mean by that?" Mrs. Lu asked, "I have told her that as long as she is willing to ask for a price, I will never counter-offer. She is not a man. She is reluctant to part with beauty. She will buy as many maids as she wants with the money. Can’t buy it? ”
"If the eldest princess really wanted this girl, she would have sent it to her a long time ago. Why should she keep it with her?" Leng said, "Can't the eldest princess teach this girl to learn the rules? Her rules can be taught better than Is everything okay in the palace?”
"But I still can't figure out why she did this?" Mrs. Lu had already thought about it all the way.
"She just doesn't want Madam to be as happy as she wants. Normally, she has a lot of complaints about your family. I know this, so I have never been close to her. Who would have thought that the second girl was so obsessed that she came to her? Minato." Mr. Leng moved his lips and started gossiping, " Besides, I guess she has ulterior motives. Think about it, she broke up with a beautiful maid and occupied the nunnery. Don't you think she wanted to use this to seduce someone? There was a temptress named Chen Yunqiao many years ago, wasn’t she the same way?”
One sentence reminded Mrs. Lu that Chen Yunqiao was called a temptress by the world. She was not from a low background, and she was considered to have married into a high family.
She just had a bad relationship with her husband, and they divorced after only a few years of marriage.
After that, she lived in a nunnery in the name of Qingxiu. She was quite famous because she was good at charity and proficient in chess, music, calligraphy and painting.
There are people from all three religions and nine streams with whom he interacts, and he can be said to be a good dancer with long sleeves.
Many women who were dissatisfied with their parents' marriage arrangements or were frustrated by other matters came to seek refuge with her.
She basically refused to accept anyone who came and took these women in. Either get shaved or practice with your hair on.
Because of this, she was considered a good person who saved people from suffering, and was later called "Lady Bodhi" by those who admired her.
She had carried this name for more than ten years, but it was later revealed that she had taken in these helpless women for her own selfish reasons.
She used these inexperienced women to win over the lustful dignitaries, and then exchanged power and sex to connect those who wanted to buy official positions, earning high returns for herself.
After these scandals were revealed, Chen Yunqiao committed suicide by taking poison. But even so, he was still beaten to death for three months because of his serious sins.
After so many years, her story is still occasionally mentioned.
Just because it is too sensational and unforgettable.
"If that's the case, it would be too scary. But that girl is so beautiful that even an old woman like me can't take her eyes away when she sees her." Mrs. Lu said, "And Wen Mingqian's appearance and figure are also first-rate."
"That's right!" Ms. Leng said with a smile, "It's not like these two beauties have no money to rent a house, so why do they have to live in a nunnery? They even seduced our second girl out of the house.
Jingxu in Wuqiu Temple doesn't care about anything at all. How has there been any incense there in these years? So I said that the person named Wen was not hiding there at all, but was simply plotting something evil. ”
"This is just your conjecture. Even if she really hides her thoughts and doesn't do anything right now, there is nothing we can do!" Mrs. Lu was a little helpless.
"Does Madam want to get that maid here?" Ms. Leng is very good at maneuvering. She figured out Madam Lu's thoughts and prescribed the right medicine.
"Why don't I want to? What can you do?" Mrs. Lu asked her.
"Didn't she say that the eldest princess has fallen in love with this maid? Then let's ruin their reputation. Will the eldest princess want it again?" Although Mrs. Leng has not gone out these days, she is by no means idle. Thinking about how to harm Wen Mingqian.
"Go on." Mrs. Lu is not a good person. Once she heard about her harmful methods, she couldn't help but listen.
"Madam, if I help you accomplish this, you should also give us a hand." Mrs. Leng took the opportunity to say.
"It goes without saying that I won't treat you badly." Mrs. Lu did not hesitate. "Why don't we do this..." Mrs. Leng chirped in Madam Lu's ear.
Mrs. Lu's brows wrinkled at first and then gradually relaxed, as if the wrinkles in the fabric had been ironed away with a soldering iron.
One day later, Wen Mingqian took Sang Er out.
Mrs. Fang, the grandma of the Changrong Hou Mansion, made an appointment to meet Wen Mingqian at the Xiangmai Tea House. Probably because Wen Mingqian had just married and divorced not long ago, Ms. Fang was afraid that she would be embarrassed when she came to the house, so she made an appointment to meet at the tea house.
Arriving in front of the tea house, Wen Mingqian asked Sang Er to send the letter and clothes to Gong Changan, and then went upstairs.
This teahouse is newly opened and she has not been there yet.
Mrs. Fang sent someone to tell her that she had booked a private room on the third floor called "Tiao Xian".
The business of the tea house was very good, and the dozen or so tea doctors were actually too busy. The shopkeeper had no choice but to accompany Smiley Face and let Wen Mingqian go upstairs by himself.
Wen Mingqian didn't think it was anything. She followed the stairs to the third floor, looked at the two elegant rooms in the north and south, and started looking for them one by one.
Unexpectedly, after taking a few steps, the white jade bracelet on his hand suddenly became disconnected. Eighteen jade beads scattered in all directions, rolling down far and near.
Wen Mingqian knelt down to pick them up, but only found seventeen.
If it were just an ordinary bracelet, it would be fine, but this bracelet was very important to her, and she had to find the last one no matter what.
She searched carefully, but fortunately the doors to the private rooms on both sides were closed, so she only had to look in the corridor.
She went up the stairs from the east, so naturally she looked to the west, and before she knew it, she reached the innermost part.
There were two flower stands at the end of the aisle. Wen Mingqian knelt down and saw that the last bead had rolled down to the bottom of the flower stand, and it was on the inside closest to the wall.
She could only reach it by pressing her face against the wall and inserting her hands along the gap.
Just as she was struggling to reach the beads, the door to the private room next to her opened.
A pair of eyes looked at her coldly, with scrutiny.
Wen Mingqian could feel a chill on the back of her neck. She turned back suddenly and met those eyes.
"Eavesdropping?" The man sneered, leaned forward, and asked condescendingly, "Aren't you afraid of death?"
Wen Mingqian's posture was very awkward. She pulled her hand away with difficulty and replied: "You should be careful what you say. I'm not here to eavesdrop."
"If you're not eavesdropping, why are you so close to the wall?" Of course the man didn't believe it, and he leaned closer, his breath hitting Wen Mingqian's face.
Wen Mingqian couldn't help but sullen: "This military master, please respect yourself, step back and let me stand up."
"How did you know that I was a soldier?" The man frowned and his tone became even more unkind, "Didn't you just bring it on yourself?"
He forced Wen Mingqian into a corner, like interrogating a prisoner.
