As the night quietly approached, the area inside Xi Jiu Er's room and outside of the courtyard was quiet. The sound of rustling grass and trees could be heard as a gentle breeze blew past. At this moment, a voice came from outside the residence, "The weather is dry, be careful of the candles …" Song Mansion seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.
A lady in a red dress walked over with a lantern in her hand. The weak candlelight seemed to be close to her like sparks, as she hurried towards Xi Jiu Er's courtyard. The guards at the door were sleeping soundly tonight, snoring so hard that no one around her would be able to wake up.
"Creak — —" The door released a heavy sound, Gu Er stuck her head out and anxiously said: "Miss Zhang, quickly come in." Zhang Cui Lan, who was standing outside the door, immediately extinguished the candle flame and entered the courtyard.
"According to Miss Zhang's instructions, Servant has already completed the task." Gu Er looked left and right, then whispered: "Miss Zhang, Servant has to go back, if not someone will find out in a while."
"Go." Zhang Cui Lan also knew that she could only rely on herself for the following matter. A gust of cold wind blew, causing Zhang Cui Lan to shiver, and she was just about to take a step forward when she was suddenly startled by a burst of sound. The courtyard that was originally quiet suddenly lit up with several lanterns, and the people that were originally in deep sleep had already appeared. Xi Jiu Er slowly walked out with her hands behind her back, a smile on her face.
Zhang Cui Lan could no longer maintain her composure and said awkwardly: "Little Young Master, it's already this late and you're not sleeping in your room?"
"I actually want to ask Miss Zhang something. What are you doing if you're not sleeping at night?" Zhang Cui Lan laughed dryly: "I, I'm just walking around casually." No matter what, Zhang Cui Lan was still the Miss of an innocent family. If it wasn't for the fact that Jun Mo Xie did not want to marry him, he would not have defiled him like this. Upon hearing the mockery of her lowly servant, she was naturally ashamed and indignant, but she was also at a loss for words.
"Ah —" Gu Er was brought to the center of the courtyard by a large group of people. Zhang Cui Lan stared at Gu Er with an even more uneasy feeling, and asked without doing anything: "Did this servant girl commit any crime?"
"She threw the knockout drug Miss Zhang gave her into the Young Master's censer and was caught red-handed." Ge La said. In her heart, she viewed Zhang Cui Lan's methods with contempt, and looked down on him even more.
"Little Young Master, this is really a misunderstanding. How could I let a servant girl do such a thing?" Zhang Cui Lan was becoming more and more familiar with the advantages of women. Women were born weak, and from ancient times onwards, they have attracted many men to bow before them. Zhang Cui Lan cried as if she was the most pitiful girl in the world.
"Misunderstanding, I actually hope that this is a misunderstanding." Xi Jiu Er said with a dark face: "Do you think I, Song Tian, am a fool?"
Zhang Cui Lan's heart skipped a beat. This was the first time she saw the other party give him a look, and it was also her first time seeing her embarrassed and embarrassed look. Gritting her teeth, he choked back, "Although I have my heart set on you, I would never do something so dishonorable."
"Haven't you done enough dishonorable things?" Xi Jiu Er mocked.
Zhang Cui Lan's hatred towards Xi Jiu Er grew even stronger in her heart, she had placed all her hope into the Xi Family, if she was hated by the Song Family, she would have no choice but to become a nun in the future. Even the insult to the present is worth the luxury of a life in the future.
"Little Young Master, I swear to the heavens, I really didn't want to poison you." Zhang Cui Lan threw caution to the wind. If this matter were to be discovered, she would step into a bottomless abyss.
"Really?" "Then why are you dressed like this in the middle of the night?" Xi Jiu Er laughed coldly, her expression already becoming slightly relaxed. She secretly rejoiced in her heart, and told a lie she had made up previously, she even pretended to have a helpless expression on her face. "Cui Lan is afraid that you guys will chase me away, so I just wants to know if I get sick … you can stay for a while longer... I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that, but I really want to stay here. "
"Then why are you in my courtyard?"
Zhang Cui Lan bit her lips, her face red from embarrassment. "I think if I faint in your courtyard, would you care about me …"
Xi Jiu Er laughed in her heart, then instructed Ge La: "Send the Miss Zhang back. I will pretend that nothing happened today.
Everyone present, including Zhang Cui Lan, were stunned by the murderous look in their eyes. Not only were they thinking, even if they were gentle and refined, they were still Song Yun Shan's bloodline.
This matter could be considered as over. Zhang Cui Lan still had some lingering fear after returning to the house, but she felt extremely regretful in her heart: She actually failed. If she missed this opportunity, the next time she wanted to use her old technique would be even more difficult. The handkerchief in her hand had already been twisted into a fried dough twist.
He could not sleep well in the Old Lady Zhang tonight, so he hoped that his granddaughter would succeed tonight. Even if she had to suffer some humiliation, it would be worth it. The moon outside the window was bright and clear, it was so quiet that one could hear the sound of candles exploding. Old Lady Zhang was about to fall asleep, when the door opened.
He opened his eyes slightly and looked at his elder, then asked, "What's wrong? But it's not going well? "
The old granny's face froze, she had followed Old Lady Zhang for so many years but still did not say anything, let alone such a huge matter, and quickly replied: "Old Madame, it's not that you're unhappy, it's simply too much. As soon as Miss walked into the courtyard, she was discovered by someone. All the servants in the Little Young Master Courtyard saw how Miss did not have any clothes on, and not only that, the matter of the medicine being administered by the Miss was also discovered by the little Young Master.
Old Lady Zhang's face was so red that blood could drip out. People could not tell that she was Young Master Song, but was she a smart person? Or was it that Cui Lan was already so stupid that people could not discern anything?
"Where is she? Tell her to get the hell in here." When Old Lady Zhang thought about how this matter would spread around the palace tomorrow, but it did not have the same effect as she had imagined, her expression immediately turned ugly and she became extremely angry.
With that said, Zhang Cui Lan walked in with tears on her face. Her appearance was really pitiful. Old Lady Zhang was furious and scolded in a low voice: "Stupid thing, you failed at doing more than what you intended. What do you think you have done with this matter? Tomorrow morning, the entire clan will want to know about this matter. Where will you put my face? " As she spoke, she slapped his face.
Zhang Cui Lan choked with sobs: "Grandmother, at this point, I would like to ask Grandmother to give me a few pointers."
They were both grasshoppers on the same rope, how could Zhang Cui Lan get any benefits if she wasn't good? Old Lady Zhang's eyes overflowed with loathing as she said impatiently: "Tomorrow morning, I will go to Madame Song to apologize to him, and let you stay in the manor as you please. How you do it from now on will depend on your luck."
Zhang Cui Lan did not understand, and completely angered Old Lady Zhang, as if she did not know what was going on. She said resentfully: "Just listen to my arrangements tomorrow, don't talk too much, just tell Madame Song what you have done, and when it's time to cry, don't be careless when apologizing."
"Grandmother …" Zhang Cui Lan still had something she wanted to ask.
