Chapter 1597: Dark forehead, darker heart
The eldest lady walked out of the door. Song Ping looked back and thought, well, Taoist Xuanqing is in big trouble this time.
"Ma'am, are you going out?"
The eldest lady waved her hand: "I wanted to come out, but now I don't want to. Let me see who dares to speak so arrogantly here and ask Yu'er to come out to see him. What a big tone."
Taoist Xuanqing looked at the eldest lady, and the image of her with a pale face and thin body, wearing a fine cloth dress and washing clothes emerged in his mind.
It just doesn't match the image in front of me.
But it's obviously the same person.
Taoist Xuanqing pondered secretly how to talk to the first lady.
After the first lady finished speaking, she saw his eyes rolling around, but he didn't say anything. He was dressed like a Taoist priest and looked quite immortal.
But these days, there are too many scammers who disguise themselves as Taoist priests and monks.
How can we judge whether someone is a good person or a bad person based on their appearance?
Besides, no matter whether it was good or bad, it was not okay to talk about Ru Yu in that tone just now.
The eldest lady asked, "What's wrong? You were so fierce just now, but now you've become mute?"
Taoist Xuanqing came back to his senses, flicked his whisk, and lowered his voice to ask: "Madam, are you feeling unwell?"
The eldest lady blinked her eyes and said, "What? Did you see something? Do you think my forehead is dark, my eyes are blue, my eyes are dull, my seven souls are uneasy, and my six spirits are restless?"
Taoist Xuanqing's eyes lit up and he wanted to slap his thigh a few times. He really made a wrong move before. He should have started with the first lady.
The mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law are natural enemies. Whatever he says, the lady can easily believe it.
Taoist Xuanqing hesitated for a moment and said, "Madam, this is not the place to talk. Can we..."
The eldest lady understood: "Okay, no problem, please follow me."
The eldest lady turned around and led Taoist Xuanqing into the mansion.
Song Ping wanted to remind him, but the princess told him to come back another day. The eldest lady gave him a look, so he had to stop.
Song Ping quickly asked his men to follow and keep an eye on the situation. He turned around and hurried to report to Yan Ruyu.
Yan Ruyu was waiting in the garden, wondering whether she should raise some aquatic products in the lake so that she could have them as dishes during the New Year and go fishing when she had nothing else to do.
When my grandfather was at home, he loved fishing. When he had nothing to do, he had no other hobbies. He would take his fishing rod and go fishing by the water in the back mountain all day long.
My thoughts drifted a little far away, and suddenly I felt that this time was a bit long.
Why hasn’t Song Ping come yet?
Just as he was thinking about it, Song Ping came in a hurry.
"Princess, your subordinate..."
Yan Ruyu stretched out her hand, and Song Ping understood and took out the recorder.
Still recording.
Yan Ruyu pressed the stop button and started playing.
First there was the sound of Song Ping's footsteps and the rubbing of his clothes, and then a few of his men greeted him on the road.
"Brother Song."
"Brother Song."
When Song Ping heard this, his eyes suddenly widened.
This is……
Then came his own voice.
"The princess is not here, please come back another day!"
Taoist Xuanqing was next: "Did you say it was me, Taoist Xuanqing?"
"What about the prince?"
"As expected, if he is not my brother, I don't care about his life or death. If I had known this, I should have told the prince instead of the princess."
Song Ping was stunned.
Yan Ruyu sneered: "It's still the same as before. You're just short of pointing at me and saying that I'm cold-hearted and don't care about other people's lives. I'm not a human being."
Song Ping said in a low voice, "He is talking nonsense. My subordinates and brothers do not think so."
Yan Ruyu glanced at him: "Where are the others?"
The playback was still going on, and before Song Ping answered, Yan Ruyu had already heard the eldest lady's voice.
"Mother took him away?"
"That's right. I am here to report this matter."
Yan Ruyu said nothing and turned to find the eldest lady.
After passing through the Moon Gate, she thought, "Call Jin Ting and ask him to wait for me outside the front hall."
"Yes."
I have to find a secret guard to go to Shencheng and contact the small medicine dealer in Shencheng to ask about the situation of the medicinal materials.
I always feel that this is a hidden danger.
Huo Changhe and the leader of the secret guards said that when he was away, Yan Ruyu, like him, had to obey orders and follow deployments.
But the leader of the secret guards is not in the city at the moment, so Jin Ding has to go and notify them.
She walked quickly to the front hall, where there was only a little maid cleaning the place, and the eldest lady was nowhere to be seen.
"Where is the madam?" Yan Ruyu asked.
The little maid was puzzled: "Princess, I have never seen the Madam."
Yan Ruyu wondered, where had the eldest lady gone?
The eldest lady was in the utility room in the side courtyard.
Although it is a storage room, it is quite spacious and clean.
There was a pile of firewood next to it, also neatly stacked.
Taoist Xuanqing was puzzled: "Madam, why are you talking here?"
The eldest lady sat down on the small chair: "Isn't what you want to say quite confidential? Naturally, you have to find a place that no one would expect."
"Besides, what ghostly things are you talking about? This matter... must be handled with caution."
Taoist Xuanqing understood and all his doubts were gone. He felt that what the lady said made sense.
I feel more and more that I have taken a lot of detours before and I should have confronted the first lady earlier.
He cleared his throat and lowered his voice: "Madam just said that she felt unwell."
"Madam, you look rosy-cheeked, but that's not the case," he said seriously. "Madam, you don't know that I can see the past and the future."
"I could see that in the past," said the eldest lady.
Taoist Priest Xuanqing: “…”
"What I mean is that some things should have their fixed track, but what you see may not be what should happen."
The eldest lady raised her hand: "No, wait a minute, what shouldn't happen?"
"Madam, you know that when the Zhennan Palace was exiled to Youcheng, there should have been heavy casualties. Your family is living in poverty. Madam should provide laundry for others to supplement the family income..."
The eldest lady listened to him in silence, her eyes glancing at the pile of firewood outside.
"The second young master made a living by writing letters for others. Later, he met a woman who claimed to be a papermaker and sold paper for her. Little did he know that the paper was extraordinary and was mixed with poison, so the second young master was wrongly imprisoned."
"The young master is sensible. He is hungry all day long. When he gets sick, he has no money to buy medicine, so..."
The eldest lady slowly stood up and walked to the pile of firewood.
Taoist Xuanqing sighed: "So..."
"So," the eldest lady pulled out a wooden stick and weighed it in her hand, "You mean that my family should die, flee, escape or be injured, and should not have any good ending."
"Like now, I have no worries, my son is safe and worry-free, my youngest son is studying peacefully and healthy, is this not right?"
"My husband, my eldest son, served the country loyally and kept the people safe, but in the end, our family should be miserable. This is right and normal."
"Now, living a good life is just not normal, right?"
Taoist Xuanqing choked: "What I mean is..."
"In my opinion, it's not my forehead that's black, it's you. Not only your forehead, but also your heart and eyes are black."
"Didn't you figure out that you're going to get beaten today?"
