Chapter 12 Remember
Liu Lanxi couldn't quite understand Du Wei's subsequent words, but she seemed to understand them a little.
Since she left the capital, she didn't want to hear any news about Yan Qing and Ling Hua, but even when she arrived in Gusu City, she couldn't hide. Walking on the street, everyone was talking about Ling Hua, saying that she had been married and later Jiangnan, and was now rectifying the Jiangnan canal transportation. She also said that she detained the little princess Zhu Lan of Green Forest, and said that she had reconciled with Green Forest.
When she heard that Zhu Lan was detained by her, she wanted to go to the Governor's Office to save her, but she didn't know how to save her, and she felt that she had no weight to save her.
Who is she? Will Ling Hua let Zhu Lan be given to her? She still has this self-knowledge.
When she was in the capital, she was kept in the boudoir. She only heard people say that Ling Hua was powerful, but how powerful it was, it was just a vague summary that she was in charge of the Jiangnan canal transportation and opposed the Eastern Palace, which made the prince jump out of his feet and had no choice but to do anything to her. She only heard that all the civil and military officials in the court no longer opposed her daughter's family ascended to the emperor's hall and entered the court gate and went to the important places of the officialdom.
It was not until he came to Jiangnan that he truly knew how powerful Ling Hua was and how famous he was in Jiangnan. A three-year-old child didn’t know who the emperor was at that time, but he must know who the helmsman of Jiangnan’s canal transportation was.
After walking out of the boudoir and the capital, the world outside was so big that she realized how shallow she had been before.
She used to claim that she was no worse than Ling Hua. She had a daughter's family and stood in the wind and rain like a man. This was very contrary to the etiquette of her mother who taught her to take care of her husband and children since childhood. She married Ling Hua in a banquet. She couldn't imagine what kind of life Ling Hua would live with him. Perhaps such a strong woman would listen to her in everything and serve men, right?
Until a few days ago, Zhu Lan came out of the Governor's Office of the Grain Transportation. After the Green Forest and Governor's matters were resolved, she got free and took a detour to Jiangnan to visit her. She told her what she saw and heard in the Governor's Office. She mentioned that Ling Hua's anything about Yan Qing was not what she thought was strong and domineering. On the contrary, Yan Qing was the first priority everywhere, especially when she could handle official documents and order some of her subordinates to cook for him, washing her hands and making soup. Even after Zhu Lan herself had eaten her meal, she was obsessed with it and wanted to follow her for the rest of her life. Unfortunately, her grandfather was not allowed.
She knew how picky Julan’s taste was.
From Zhu Lan's words, after listening to Ling Hua, who was completely different from her perception and imagination, she realized that she probably wouldn't be as good as her in her life. As for thinking secretly that she and Yan Qing would be together one day, even if she really got it, Yan Qing, who had experienced Ling Hua, would probably not look down on her. After all, he had never looked down on her before.
Especially, from Zhu Lan's mouth, she heard that Yan Qing's attitude towards Ling Hua. It can be seen that he did not like women to hide from women. No woman like Ling Hua, would he be attracted to him? Otherwise, even if he had no choice but to marry her after getting drunk, he would not have disgraced her.
When Zhu Lan left, she finally advised her, "Lanxi, let go! Ling Hua made that woman unable to come if she was a woman, let alone the man she met?"
She remembered gritting her teeth and saying, "She won't be liked by everyone."
Zhu Lan nodded, "Yes, there are too many people who don't like her, and there are even more people who want to kill her. Grandpa Cheng wants anyone to kill her, and has avenged the cowardly crime he suffered this time. But so what? It's enough for Marquis Yan to like her. Although Grandpa Cheng wants her to die, he can't kill her."
Zhu Lan later persuaded her to make a good word, "You are still young and your road is still long, so she wants to bloom like her. The flower of the little Marquis of Yan is a thorny one. She has lived in the Governor's Mansion for many days and dared not get close. It is difficult for her to think about it for so many years. The delicious food in the world cannot be disappointed. As a man, don't ask for one to look good, just one to look good. If you want to marry, it is not difficult to be as good as her.
A few days after Zhu Lan left, she received a letter from her father and set off for Liangzhou. Unexpectedly, in Jiangyang City, she still had to listen to things related to Ling Hua.
She gritted her teeth and said to Du Wei, "It is said that Miss Ling Qi got along very well after her wedding with Mr. Yan Xiaohou."
Du Wei nodded with a smile, "Well, I heard that it's very good."
Du Wei seemed to have said enough, and said he was tired. He stopped talking and urged her, "Write quickly. I am tired and don't want to waste time with you."
Zhu Lan's strange hands stopped shaking and her body stopped trembling. Perhaps although Du Wei was terrible, after hearing his story, she lifted the veil of this terror and became less stolen. She was no longer frightened from the bottom of her heart.
She said, "If Julan comes, you are not allowed to hurt Julan, otherwise I would rather die than write."
Du Wei nodded, "Of course, she is the little princess of the Green Forest. In my opinion, she is more valuable than your life."
Zhu Lan then picked up the pen and started writing. Every time she wrote a word, she had to think about it for a long time. Du Wei rarely didn't urge him after she started writing. She waited for her two cups of tea before she finished writing the letter.
After Du Wei looked at it with satisfaction, he ordered the maid who was serving him to seal it with wax and send someone to the Green Forest General Altar.
After that, Du Wei left.
After Du Wei left, Liu Lanxi looked at the empty room and still breathed a breath of air.
After Du Wei left, Liuli and Wangshu naturally had no need to stay on the roof. They looked at each other and followed Du Wei. Seeing that Du Wei really went back to his yard as he said, and soon turned off the lights and stopped. The two of them had no other news to inquire, so they left the prefect's office and returned to the backyard of Mingwang Building.
The next day, after Ling Hua woke up, Liuli immediately told Ling Hua about the news that she had found out with Wangshu last night.
Ling Hua was also surprised, "You said that the prefect Du Wei was actually the second-best grandson of the Sun family who was beaten up by my fourth brother back then?"
Liuli nodded and asked Ling Hua, "Miss, is that what Du Wei said true? You really went to see him secretly on the day he left Beijing, and gave him the wooden sign for the birthday gift given to you by the fourth young master?"
Ling Hua thought about it, "It seems that this is the case."
Liuli stared, "Why don't I know?"
Ling Hua didn't remember it very much, "It seems like where did you go to watch the fun that day? I went alone. In fact, it wasn't very accurate to say that I went alone. My mother's secret guards followed him, but the secret guards did not show up, so Du Wei could only see me alone."
"At that time, you could go out of the mansion to see people away from the city, and there were secret guards to follow you. Did you report that your wife allowed me?"
"Yes, otherwise my mother would be afraid that I would run out to play and watch it tightly. How could I run out alone?"
Liuli thought it was true.
She said speechlessly, "You gave him that wooden sign to protect him?"
Ling Hua sighed, "It would be fine if he had a small beating, but the fourth brother beat him so hard. I was still very kind back then, but I couldn't get over the conscience. After I mentioned it to my mother, she didn't say what I did wrong, so she let me go. I thought it was because of me, the world was dangerous, and when I went out, if he met any bad guy, no matter what the grandson of an important minister in the court, he should kill him. Especially when the fourth brother spoke, I was afraid that people from all walks of life would cause trouble for him. After weighing the pros and cons, the only wooden sign was the most suitable for him. If you encounter any trouble, if you have the same value as those with eyes, it might work."
She was also surprised, "I didn't expect that it would work to be effective, but the fourth brother's ability."
"It may not be the ability of the fourth young master, maybe it is because of the prince?" Liuli guessed.
Ling Hua laughed, "I don't care who you are, but I don't care who you are. Most bandits in the world like to rob the rich and help the poor. Although my grandfather has a good relationship, everyone may not be able to buy it. The fourth brother is different. When he was young, he was so frivolous that he didn't know the world. He really had that ability, so that the three ranks of ancestral ancestry called him the fourth son."
Liuli immediately admired her a little, "So I've always underestimated the fourth young master."
It’s not her fault. She really saw the young lady bullying the fourth young master since she was a child. She saw too much, and she really couldn’t respect her.
Ling Hua frowned, "Du Wei wants Zhu Lan to come to Jiangyang City, I don't know what the idea is? I can't really ask for two million taels of silver."
Liuli didn't understand, "That Young Master Du is a sick cat, but a sick cat who can scratch people with sharp claws. Jiang Yang is not short of money, but the East Palace is short of money. Could he be for the prince?"
Ling Hua couldn't say it, but she didn't want to pay attention to it at this time. She didn't forget her important business. At most, she would take a rest in Jiangyang City for another day and continue to rush to Liangzhou, "Let Wangshu send a master to stare at him and see what he wants to do."
Liuli nodded.
