Chapter 479: The Little Cannon Fodder in Ancient House Fighting Novels 35
When the ladies heard this, they all said it was okay, and the atmosphere returned to its previous lively state. But the maid had no choice. She didn't know what to do for a moment, and could only cry!
"Today is the Sixth Prince's wedding day. What are you doing here? You are crying so hard, aren't you afraid of bad luck?" Cui Xiaoxiao's words stopped her crying instantly!
The maid had no choice but to step aside and wait, to see if she could wait until the storytelling was over, then she could find a chance to pull the person over!
She also thought that she hadn't done anything well today, and now the young lady was sick again, they must be in danger this time! Thinking of this, she looked at Cui Xiaoxiao with resentment. Although she knew that it was wrong for her to do so, she was about to die, and she couldn't help but resent it!
Cui Xiaoxiao didn't bother to pay attention to her and rolled her eyes at her. What kind of person is this? Not only did he fail to frame her, but he also dared to resent her!
When a maid from the palace came to serve tea, Cui Xiaoxiao seized the opportunity and directly used her mental power to attack the maid's head!
She threw herself forward onto the maid who was holding the tea. The teapot fell towards her due to inertia, and the boiling hot tea poured all over her head and body. There were several tea leaves on her head...
She was crying and shouting. Cui Xiaoxiao turned her head and took a look. She had a pile of tea leaves on her head, which were still steaming. Her face and neck were all red, and her forehead was peeling...
This sudden change frightened the ladies who were listening to the story, but they were quickly helped away. The accidental injury of a little maid did not attract much attention from others.
Cui Xiaoxiao just looked on coldly, without even a change of expression. She didn't have the extra sympathy to sympathize with someone who wanted to harm her.
Song Shasha was also fully prepared, except for Cui Xiaoxiao, and she even arranged for someone to pick her up on the road. As soon as Cui Xiaoxiao showed up, she would knock her out and immediately take a shortcut to bring her to the scene.
But I waited and waited but didn't see anyone. In the end, after persisting for more than half an hour and still didn't see anyone, I thought the matter was probably hopeless and had to give up helplessly.
When Song Shasha was about to leave, she turned around and saw Zhong Ling, who was alone in Xuanpingbo Mansion! Lu Siyun could hide this woman's thoughts from her, but not from her. Although she hid it deeply, she had seen the look this woman gave Prince Jing once or twice.
Although she had no hope of entering Prince Jing's mansion, she was still afraid of the possibility! Under the principle of not wasting anything, she put all her plans to deal with Cui Xiaoxiao on Zhong Ling, so that she would give up the idea completely.
Thinking of this, she made a few gestures, indicating that the action plan would continue with just a change of personnel, and then she knocked Zhong Ling unconscious and took her away!
According to the plan, they used the spy left by Lu Siyun as an insider and transferred two people to inform the elders. Song Shasha's people took the opportunity to kill two of Lu Siyun's confidants, and the insider also stabbed several times with a knife, and finally stabbed Lu Siyun several times!
After finishing all this, they evacuated everyone. When Zhong Ling came, they stuffed the knife directly into her hands and made her look like she was committing a crime!
After hearing the secret signal, the spy woke Zhong Ling up. The moment she opened her eyes, the doctor and several ladies and servants pushed the door open!
"Ah, ah!" Two shrill screams resounded through the sky.
This woke up Cui Xiaoxiao, who seemed to be listening to a book, but in fact she was daydreaming and was very surprised.
The reason why Zhong Ling was alone in this troubled place was not an accident, but the intervention of the Tenth Prince. If her mental power had not been covering the entire palace, she would not have known about this.
But well done, she likes it!
Killing a poisonous snake in its cradle before it bites anyone can be considered a blessing.
Cui Xiaoxiao couldn't help but suspect that the Tenth Prince had heard her and Ji Fanyin's whispers at the dinner table, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence? But how did he know about the plan against her today? Or did he just happen to encounter it?
No matter what, the ending is still good!
Cui Xiaoxiao saw the ladies who were listening to the story go to check what happened, so she also walked towards the screaming place with them! But she was thinking in her heart that no one should have time to plot against her today!
But soon, the scene was cordoned off by a dozen maids. Except for the parties involved, their families, and the person in charge of the palace, everyone else was isolated outside the yard.
The Crown Princess and the Grand Princess also came over to greet people, and led those who wanted to watch the fun to other places. The princes could fight in private however they wanted, but they couldn't let the royal family lose face in public.
Looking at the yard that was locked tightly everywhere, the crowd left in twos and threes when they realized there was nothing exciting to watch. However, the private discussions did not stop, and everyone was guessing what had happened.
Ji Fanyin was also one of the people who came to check. She looked Cui Xiaoxiao from head to toe and was relieved to see that Cui Xiaoxiao was safe and sound and nothing had happened to her and that she was still able to come and watch the fun!
The two of them got together again and stayed in the corner gossiping!
"Do you know what happened?" Cui Xiaoxiao asked!
"I don't know, but I looked carefully just now, and there are several people who are paying attention to you missing." After hearing the scream, she followed the elders!
At first, she thought Cui Xiaoxiao was being tricked, and then she focused her attention on the person who was trying to trick Cui Xiaoxiao. She watched the whole process from beginning to end, and she knew how many people were missing.
Especially when Lu Siyun and Zhong Ling were nowhere to be seen, Song Shasha had a very complicated expression on her face, but Yang Ling looked very happy! At that time, she felt something was wrong. Cui Xiaoxiao was probably really tricked. She didn't feel relieved until she saw Cui Xiaoxiao coming over.
Only then did she feel like paying attention to what happened? She didn't know what she was thinking about, but she started to look at Cui Xiaoxiao again, and Cui Xiaoxiao felt uneasy when she looked at her.
"Just tell me what you want to say! Don't look at me like that, I'm a little scared!"
"Sister, you are awesome, I admire you!" Ji Fanyin quietly gave her a thumbs up.
"Sister, what are you talking about? You don't think I was the one who plotted against those people? You really think too highly of me. Someone did want to plot against me today, but I escaped! After you left, I have been listening to books and never left for a moment." Cui Xiaoxiao was confident that no one would know what she had done.
"That was really not your doing?" I reminded her at noon, and that person got into trouble in the afternoon. It was reasonable for her to be suspicious!
"Really not, don't you think about it. I've only been out of the Marquis' Mansion for a few days? How could there be someone with such magical powers who can reach into the Prince's Mansion and make trouble? Even if I want to fight back, I have no one to help me!" Cui Xiaoxiao shook her head and denied anything without evidence. Moreover, many people could testify that she had never left.
"If that's the case, it's true! I was thinking that if you were really that powerful, I would learn a few real skills from you." Maybe it was because everything was too coincidental, so she thought too much!
However, she really let go of some of her doubts. Cui Xiaoxiao wanted to deal with someone who was also a medical practitioner. If she didn't plan ahead, it would take a while for her plan to succeed.
However, Cui Xiaoxiao doesn’t have this ability, but Prince Jing does. Could he be the one who did it?
"I would like to have this skill but no one teaches me! But there are many people who have conflicts with them, and I don't know who did it! But it's a good thing for me. At least I don't have to worry about being plotted against today." She said with some gloating.
"I can't guess, and I don't know what happened inside. I even smelled a faint smell of blood! I hope no one was killed, otherwise Prince An would be unhappy. After all, people are getting married today!" Ji Fanyin murmured to himself!
"I hope so!" Haha, not only did someone die, but more than one life!
Cui Xiaoxiao observed that Lu Siyun, the troublemaker, was stabbed several times and bled so much but still alive. It was because of her that even if Lu Siyun was alive, she would be no different from dead. I wonder if Lu Siyun, who has become a living dead, will regret what he did today!
Because of this incident, Prince An's wedding and banquet in the evening were not as enthusiastic as they were at noon! Prince An also put away his usual smile. He was really brave to make trouble at his wedding to marry his concubine. Don't let him find out.
After the dinner, the guests began to leave one after another!
Cui Xiaoxiao first said goodbye to her sisters, and then talked to the Tenth Prince for a few words. Then the Marquis's wife took Cui Xiaoxiao back home!
Since only a few servants died in the Sixth Prince's Mansion, he suppressed the matter and did not make a big fuss.
The only thing that was a bit of a headache was that Lu Siyun was beaten so badly she fell into a coma just because she came over to drink at a wedding. Although he didn't do it, he was responsible for failing to discipline her and making inappropriate arrangements in Prince An's mansion.
If we don’t investigate the matter thoroughly and handle it properly, we won’t even be able to pass the test of the Queen Mother!
But Lu Siyun was unconscious, and the person waiting at the scene insisted that Zhong Ling did it! Zhong Ling had no way to defend herself, and Lu Siyun, who knew everything that happened, could not wake up.
Although this matter was full of doubts, and Zhong Ling kept denying it, she was forcibly taken away by the Lu family, and all the people at the scene were taken away alive. The Sixth Prince was very upset but helpless, because he was the Queen Mother's favorite.
So when he came out of the palace the next day, he immediately arranged for someone to go to the Grand Tutor's Mansion to apologize, and also sent someone to explain the situation to Marquis Xuanping, but his attitude was indeed very bad.
Regardless of whether Zhong Ling did it or not, the fact that she was involved did not affect his anger. No one would be happy that the wedding was ruined, and someone was killed and blood was shed. How unlucky!
When Lord Xuanping saw this, he immediately said that the Zhong family was not aware of this matter, and begged His Royal Highness Prince An to investigate the matter thoroughly. He also threatened that if Zhong Ling was really the one who did it, then the Zhong family would just pretend that there was no such daughter as Zhong Ling, and His Royal Highness Prince An could act impartially, and Zhong Ling would be left to them to deal with as they pleased, without having to consider the face of the Zhong family!
If it wasn't his daughter who did it, then I beg His Royal Highness Prince An to seek justice for the Bo's Mansion and clear the name of the Bo's Mansion and his daughter!
After this incident, the Grand Tutor's Mansion searched for famous doctors to treat Lu Siyun, but Xuanpingbo's legitimate daughter Zhong Ling suddenly fell ill and died!
Cui Xiaoxiao then understood that Zhong Ling's fate must have been the work of someone from the Grand Tutor's Mansion!
The Marquis of Le'an had no time to care about what was happening outside. The Marquis's mansion was so busy now! Ever since the Marquis recovered from his cold, all the new and old concubines, except Concubine Zhang, started to fight for his favor!
Aunt He was a very beautiful woman, so she didn't have to worry about not being favored, and because she was pregnant, she didn't want to compete for favor.
The Marquis hated Concubine Zhang because she caused the Marquis to fall ill. Not only was her courtyard sealed off and she was forbidden from copying scriptures and family rules for women, but all expenses from the Marquis' mansion were also stopped!
Fortunately, she was quite smart. When the Marquis was ill, she applied to the Marquis's wife for a small kitchen. All the expenses of the small kitchen were paid with her own money, so she would not starve to death.
Therefore, the only ones who were really vying for favor were Aunt Li, Aunt Zhuang and the two old concubines. Aunt Li was extremely powerful, and the two sides fought back and forth. She was one against three, and she was not at a disadvantage at all. Aunt Zhuang had met her nemesis this time!
On this day, when the Marquis's wife and her children were paying respects to the old lady, they received news from the Dong family! The future eldest son-in-law of the Marquis's mansion was racing with his friends when the horse suddenly went crazy, and Master Dong was thrown off the horse and trampled twice by the horse.
He was dying at that time, and passed away after returning to Dong's Mansion!
When Cui Ningning received the news, she burst into tears but also felt relieved.
Since Cui Xiaoxiao had a good life because of her marriage, she was unwilling to marry a small military officer like Dong Fu! She was much better than Cui Xiaoxiao in terms of appearance, figure and family management. Cui Xiaoxiao could enter the royal family, so why couldn't she?
Because of this marriage, all her ambitions were suppressed. Now, without this marriage, her ambitions have grown rapidly, and she will definitely marry someone better.
Cui Ningning returned to the room, wiped away her tears, and gave an ambitious smile.
After the Dong family's funeral, the Dong family requested that the wedding time remain unchanged and that Cui Ningning be married into the family, with a rooster bowing in the hall, and that Cui Ningning observe mourning for Young Master Dong.
Of course the Marquis did not want his daughter to be a widow. He believed that as long as his daughter was not married, she would still be a member of the Marquis's Mansion.
The Dong family believed that since the engagement had been completed and the six ceremonies had been performed, Cui Ningning belonged to the Dong family and it was natural for the daughter-in-law to observe mourning for her husband's family. They also claimed that they did not blame Cui Ningning for being unlucky in marriage and that she had killed her fiancé before she even got married!
The Marquis was shocked. This word must not be spread out, otherwise with such a reputation, Cui Ningning would never be able to get married in her life!
Finally, the matchmaker was invited over, and the two families had a deep conversation in peace for a day! The Marquis had to pay the Dong family 20,000 taels of silver, and the Marquis had to find an official position for the Dong family's son. Cui Ningning had to stay at home to mourn for Young Master Dong for two years before he agreed not to take anyone into the house!
Cui Ningning wanted to object, she was not young anymore, in two years she would be eighteen or nineteen. At such an old age, how could she marry into a good family? However, she had no say, so her objection was invalid!
