Chapter 92 Chapter 91 Walls have ears
"What? What did you say?"
The old housekeeper was so angry that he shouted so loudly that all the birds in the tree flew away. Shangguan Luming quickly took his arm and walked towards the fence of Shangguan Luyong's yard, and gestured to him to be silent.
gesture.
Then, the old housekeeper saw Shangguan Lu Ming, whose expression had not softened in the past few days. He lifted up his official robe and exposed his moon-white trousers. He stood on tiptoes and stepped over the wall as if he had done it countless times before.
of bushes and stood at the foot of the wall.
He also waved to the dumbfounded old housekeeper and motioned for him to come and listen to the corner.
Behind this corner were Shangguan Lu Yong and Jiang Hong.
The old housekeeper faintly heard their conversation and almost made a sound. Fortunately, after being tortured by the two brothers and sisters for many years, he reacted quickly enough. He hurriedly covered his mouth and looked at Shangguan Lu Ming in shock.
Shangguan Lu Yong, who was full of anger and anger in the wall, said angrily:
"I don't believe it, I don't believe it, I don't believe it! Don't I know who he is? Don't be deceived by him. Even if he helped His Highness Jiarou before, he might be colluding with those people in Dali Temple now!
General Jiang, why are you talking to him? How many times have I told you that he just plans to detain the Monan people in Dali Temple so that the Monan people will confess to colluding with your General's Mansion! I
I saw his secret letter that day!"
Then Jiang Hong's voice came from a little further away. The frightened old housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief and secretly thought that General Jiang was at least respectful.
Jiang Hong's tone was a little helpless:
"Miss Shangguan, what I said is true. Lord Shangguan is really trying every means to mediate for my family. If you don't believe me or your brother, do you have to wait until His Highness Jiarou comes back to explain it to you personally?"
Shangguan Lu Yong in the wall was sitting on a wicker chair against the wall, rolling his eyes without hesitation.
"Whatever you say, I've already brought it to you. It's your family's business to be careful. Treat your kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs. When his fox tail shows up, I want to see if you don't regret speaking to someone like him.
."
"Yes, since Miss Shangguan knows that this is my family's own business, why do you need to go on a hunger strike? After all, by locking you up, Master Shangguan is helping you postpone the marriage. Why do you need to make him sad?"
Jiang Hong's voice was farther away, and the old housekeeper couldn't hear it because he was old, and his whole body was pressed against the wall.
Shangguan Luming kindly extended a hand to support the old housekeeper's back.
"I made him sad? Ha, you still taught me a lesson?"
Shangguan Luyong was so angry at Jiang Hong, the idiot, that the bump on his head hurt. He subconsciously covered the back of his head and let out a slight "hiss".
Jiang Hong hurriedly came over to check the situation, only to find that she had ointment on her hair.
"What happened? When did it happen? Why were you so careless?"
The sudden loud noise made the old housekeeper's ears hurt, so he immediately took a step back. Looking at Shangguan Luming again, his originally relaxed eyes were already extremely unkind.
"This is my family's business, you don't need to worry about it."
Fortunately, Shangguan Lu Yong's voice was no longer where it was. He must have avoided Jiang Hong.
"Since General Jiang thinks that what I said is all a misunderstanding, there is no need to persuade me, an irrelevant person who is ignorant and unable to intervene, to please go back."
The wall was silent for a moment, and Jiang Hong's voice was not heard, but Shangguan Lu Yong's voice rang out again.
"General Jiang, this is my yard. If you stay here if you don't leave, I'm going to call someone."
The old housekeeper and Shangguan Lu Ming both put their hands behind their backs and straightened their backs, feeling that their own girls should be so tough.
"Does it have to be this way?"
When Jiang Hong's voice sounded again, it was much lower, and the old housekeeper couldn't hear it clearly, but he was not sure whether Jiang Hong had changed his position or if his voice was softer.
"Can you tell me how you injured the back of your head? You should have told me earlier, otherwise I wouldn't have brought you these goose meats, which would be detrimental to your recovery..."
The old housekeeper was lying on the wall again, and Shangguan Luming next to him had lines on his face from the wall bricks.
"General Jiang has been fighting in the northwest for so many years. Does he still care about this minor injury? I have nothing to say, but I don't take it seriously myself."
Although the old housekeeper had heard from the doctor that Shangguan Lu Yong's injury was not serious and it would be fine as long as he applied medicine on time. But listening to Shangguan Lu Yong's tone, he still felt a little worried.
Is it true that a child who has been in pain since childhood is so brave in front of outsiders? The old housekeeper only felt that he should not listen too much to Shangguan Luming these days. He really believed the doctor and didn't even go to check Yongyong's injuries personally.
Jiang Hong also felt uncomfortable after hearing her words.
Although after sending Shangguan Lu Yong back to Shangguan Mansion that day, she still went her own way and appeared in front of him once a day, but at least she no longer thought she was smart and hid here and there. They all met openly, and he couldn't say anything.
Just let her go.
It's just that habits have become natural, and he suddenly felt strange when he didn't see her for a few days. It would be a good thing if she gave up following him, but what if she was sick?
He couldn't directly ask Shangguan Luming about this kind of thing. Fortunately, Emperor Yonghe held a court meeting because of the Beizhai people. After the court, Jiang Hong deliberately followed Shangguan Luming not far behind, and actually let him hear Shangguan Luming.
Lu Yong’s hunger strike at home.
So he came here overnight and planned to put the food box quietly in her yard, but she discovered it and told him about Shangguan Luming's intention to frame the General's Mansion and collude with Monan.
"General Jiang, it's a good thing you're here. Otherwise, no one would be able to see me and the news wouldn't get out, and I would be worried to death. By the way, why are you here?"
Yes, why come?
Jiang Hong could only rack his brains and come up with a reasonable explanation based on her words.
"I also discovered that something was wrong with Mr. Shangguan, so... I also heard by the way that you were being locked up. I wanted to come and ask you about it. Yes, I just heard about it by the way. How have you been these past few days?"
He didn't expect that he would naturally care about the girl who was devouring food. He remembered that he had always avoided her before, but today he sneaked in to deliver food to her. He even forgot to explain to her that Monan was doing a show.
"Not so much..."
Shangguan Luyong was very hungry. He picked up several pieces of meat with chopsticks and stuffed them into his mouth. He almost choked, so he quickly drank a mouthful of wonton soup to help him feel better.
"I originally thought that I had to starve for several days before that traitor would let me out. It seems that the sky is wise and I didn't let me starve to death, and I didn't let you be harmed by my brother... Hey, this is the entrance to your alley.
Wontons?”
"...Yes, I didn't know what you like to eat, so I bought some of them. The buns are still hot."
Jiang Hong sat down across from her, not wanting to tell her yet that there was no need to go on a hunger strike for this kind of thing. Because he hadn't figured it out yet, since he knew Shangguan Luming was on their side, why did he still care about him?
younger sister.
"Uh-huh!"
Shangguan Luyong ate so deliciously that Jiang Hong, who was not hungry at first, wanted to grab a bite from her.
As soon as the thought came to his mind, Jiang Hong opened his eyes and stopped looking at her.
What are you thinking about?
"Then I'll leave first. You eat slowly."
He couldn't wait until she finished eating. He would just pick up the food box tomorrow.
"Okay, General Jiang, go slowly. Thank you for bringing me food. Now I will have something to eat tomorrow."
Shangguan Luyong held the meat buns in his hands and smiled at him with an oily smile, which was reflected by the lights of the small building like brilliant clouds.
So Jiang Hong was dazzled by such a smile, and told her in a strange way:
"I'll bring you some food tomorrow, so feel free to eat."
So today he came and thought of a perfect reason to explain all this to her.
But why doesn't she believe it at all?
Jiang Hong looked at Shangguan Lu Yong holding on to the pillar of the small building to gasp for air in pain. He just thought about how to calm her down, and he said everything that should be said and shouldn't be said like a bamboo tube pouring beans.
"Miss Shangguan, you have really misunderstood your brother. Although he has joined Dali Temple as a servant, he has always served His Highness Jiarou like me.
The reason why you misunderstood the matter with Monan this time is because there was an informant monitoring him in your house for a long time. He couldn't tell you the truth, so he could only let you continue to misunderstand.
Moreover, his superior, Lu Zhong, intends to use the marriage between you and Lu Zhong's son to completely tie him to the Lu family's ship. The more trouble you make at this time, the more reason he has to postpone the marriage discussion and wait for His Highness Jiarou to come back before taking a long-term approach.
Now that the purpose of rejecting the marriage has been achieved, although you can’t be too hasty in getting rid of the government’s informants, you don’t have to make yourself suffer like this, right, Miss Shangguan?”
As Jiang Hong spoke, he approached Shangguan Lu Yong. When he saw that she didn't hide away, he carefully brushed her hair aside and carefully examined the injury.
Looking at the big bump, one can imagine how much pain Shangguan Lu Yong felt at that time. The head was the most important. Any bump would easily hurt his brain. Jiang Hong focused all his attention on Shangguan Lu Yong's injury. Suddenly
With her hands free, she took a step back and turned around.
"Since you know everything, why didn't you tell me yesterday?"
Shangguan Luyong, brother and sister, both have exactly the same thick eyebrows and big eyes, and their clear eyes can make people feel guilty when they stare at them.
"How did you know about the marriage discussion between my family and the Lu family? Would my brother tell the general's office about such a thing?
Since you were already prepared for Monan's matter, why did you say yesterday that it was you who found out something was wrong with my brother that led you to inquire about my family's affairs?
General Jiang, this is not what you told me yesterday."
Jiang Hong took a step back.
Shangguan Lu Yong took a step closer.
This dilemma of being in a dilemma and being trapped between a rock and a hard place seemed familiar. Jiang Hong discovered that not only did the two siblings have similar facial features, but their every move was carved from the same mold. They could always catch the loopholes in his words and press forward step by step.
He didn't like Shangguan Lu Ming very much. Although he was closer than his colleagues, he knew that he didn't like to spend more time with this kind of civil servant who was full of calculations and could always expose the lies he thought were perfect.
