Chapter 29
Shangguan Ruoxian has been jealous of Shangguan Ruoli's face for a long time. She used to be dull and could tolerate it, but today she shines like a blind man, making her want to destroy this face.
Shangguan Ruoli didn't even open his eyes, let alone hide, he raised his foot and kicked Shangguan Ruoxian in the chest.
"Ah!" Shangguan Ruoxian was kicked away, a sweet taste filled his throat, and he opened his mouth to spurt out a mouthful of blood.
"You, you, you..." She looked in disbelief at Shangguan Ruoli, who was still concentrating with his eyes closed, as if he had been asleep and nothing happened.
She felt that Shangguan Ruoli was no longer the timid and cowardly blind man. Ever since he woke up in front of Ranxiang Tower, the blind man seemed to have become a different person.
Could it be that he is possessed by some evil spirit?
Shangguan Ruoxian's eyes were unabashedly full of viciousness and calculation, and a ferocious smile appeared on the corner of his lips.
Not hearing what Xiao Bichi was saying, and knowing that she must be holding back her anger, Shangguan Ruoli said calmly: "Why don't you wait for me to treat you to dinner?"
"Second Miss!" Qiu Ju had been listening outside and now came in to help Shangguan Ruoxian.
"Pa!" A loud slap hit Qiu Ju's face.
Shangguan Ruoxian gritted his teeth and said: "You bitch! Get away!"
Qiu Ju covered her burning face, tears of grievance filled her eyes.
Shangguan Ruoxian hated Qiu Ju when she saw her embarrassed and embarrassed look, so she got up, covered her chest and walked out.
Shangguan Ruoli said coolly: "Tomorrow is when His Highness King Xuan will send someone to collect the fifty thousand taels of silver. I advise my mother to prepare the banknotes. Of course, returning my mother's dowry to me is the wisest choice.
, including fifteen years’ profit from the Puzi property.”
Shangguan Ruoxian held the door frame and turned around, a murderous intent flashed in his eyes, "You are a blind man, what is the use of asking for a dowry?"
Shangguan Ruoli sneered: "I'll sell my mother's things and give them away, I'm happy to! Don't worry about it!"
Shangguan Ruoxian knew that Xiao Yunluo's dowry was huge, and Xiao Yunqing wanted to give most of it to her as dowry.
What's more, they have squandered most of the profits from those shops over the years. To control the general's palace, buying the servants and guards is a huge expense every year.
Xiao Yunqing was a concubine at the time, and at that time Xiao Feiyuan went to Jianghu to find a doctor to treat Shangguan Ruoli's eyes. He had no idea that Xiao Yunqing had become Shangguan Tianxiao's stepmother, so how could there be a dowry?
Shangguan Ruoxian came out of Meixiang Garden with a ferocious face: Shangguan Ruoli was the one who sought death on your own!
…
The next morning, Shangguan Ruoli packed his things and took Qiu Ju to burn incense at Liuxian Temple, so he missed the little eunuch Mo Wen.
Mo Wen did not go to Meixiangyuan to find Shangguan Ruoli, but went directly to Wutongyuan to ask Xiao Yunqing for payment.
Xiao Yunqing didn't expect that King Xuan would actually come to ask for an account for a mere fifty thousand taels of silver. Although he didn't come in person, Mo Wen was King Xuan's spokesperson.
"I have prepared this for a long time, how can I let the prince spend money?" Xiao Yunqing despised King Xuan for being stingy, but she smiled amiably on her face.
Mo Wen was also smiling and said, "My prince really couldn't bear to see Miss Shangguan being ridiculed by the waiter for only fifty thousand taels of silver, so he came to the rescue."
"Liu'er took five thousand taels of silver notes to Eunuch Mo," Xiao Yunqing asked her maid to get the silver notes, and asked Mo calmly: "It's quite inconvenient for Ruoli to be blind. She put too much silver taels, which makes it cheaper."
Got rid of those short-sighted servants."
Mo Wen nodded, "That's what the wife of the general Zhenguo said."
Xiao Yunqing's face softened when he heard what he said, but when he heard what he said next, his face turned cold.
Just listen to Mo Wen continue: "However, the servants of the Zhenguo General's Mansion are so ignorant of the rules that they can also steal the master's finances. This shows that Madam is too... kind."
No matter how stupid Xiao Yunqing was, she could still tell that Mo Wen was talking about her housekeeper being unfavorable, but his backstage was King Xuan, so she could only swallow this breath.
Liu Er took the banknote and handed it to Mo Wen.
Mo Wen took the banknotes, counted them clearly, put them away, bowed and said: "Madam, I have to say goodbye!"
Xiao Yunqing said calmly: "Let Liu'er send off my father-in-law on behalf of my wife."
As the wife of a great general who governs the country, she would not go to send a slave off in person.
After Mo Wen left the room, Shangguan Ruoxian came out of the inner room and gritted his teeth and said: "How dare this man, a eunuch with the power of a dog, be arrogant in front of his mother! When I get married to the prince, I will deal with him and his master first!"
Xiao Yunqing glanced at her worriedly, "How do you smell?"
If the disgusting smell is not eliminated, even if she becomes a princess, she will be just a decoration. Fortunately, the emperor has already granted marriage, otherwise such a shameful thing would have happened. Not to mention the prince, even an ordinary nobleman would not look down on Shangguan Ruo.
Fairy.
When this matter was mentioned, Shangguan Ruoxian became even more angry, "I've been soaking in fragrant soup a few times and it's much better now."
Xiao Yunqing, "Is what you just said true? Yesterday, the blind man beat you, as if you were possessed by a monster?"
"Mother, don't you think she has changed too much? If she wasn't still that blind, she would be like a different person." Shangguan Ruoxian covered his chest, where there were Shangguan Ruoli's purple footprints.
Xiao Yunqing squinted her eyes, as if trying to remember something, and finally showed a sinister smile, "Huh! If you are possessed by evil spirits, you should be burned!"
Liu'er came back and reported: "Madam, Second Miss, someone from Meixiang Garden just came to report that the blind man took Qiu Ju to Liuxian Temple to offer incense."
Xiao Yunqing sat up straight, "Go to Liuxian Temple to offer incense? Why didn't the commander of the guards come to report and ask for instructions?"
Liu'er said: "That stinky blind man only brought Qiu Ju and a horseman to drive the carriage, but no bodyguards."
Shangguan Ruoxian's eyes lit up and he grabbed Xiao Yunqing's arm excitedly, "Mother! What a God-given opportunity!"
Xiao Yunqing frowned: "What are you going to do again? Your father is coming back!"
Shangguan Ruoxian sneered: "So what if I come back? I am the future crown princess given by the emperor! I am going to come up with a series of tricks! Let that bitch escape on the first day of the lunar month but not on the 15th!"
…
The sky was overcast, the swallows flew lower and lower, and the water vapor in the air became heavier and heavier.
Shangguan Ruoli squinted his eyes and said, "I smell water vapor. Is it going to rain?"
Qiu Ju looked through the car curtains and saw sparse raindrops falling outside, and said, "It's already raining, and the raindrops are quite heavy."
The coachman asked for instructions: "Miss, this is a mountain road now. Let's go faster. It's raining heavily and the road will be slippery."
"Okay!" Shangguan Ruoli agreed. There are no asphalt roads in this era, and the mountain road will be muddy and difficult to walk if it rains.
"Pa!" The coachman flicked his whip and urged the horse to run faster.
The horses raised their hooves and the carriage jolted forward.
But the sound of the driver driving the horse could no longer be heard, but the strong smell of blood could be smelled.
"Ah!" Qiu Ju screamed, looking at the floor of the carriage in horror.
There was blood and rainwater seeping in from the cracks in the carriage.
