Chapter 142 Do you want to have a showdown

Leng Haochen, Zhou Yazhu and Jinglan went to Songhezhai where the old lady lived. The little maid told the old lady that she had not slept yet, and the three sat on the corridor outside the old lady's dormitory and waited.

Jinglan originally wanted to serve the old lady first. After all, she is the most powerful maid around the old lady. The old lady is often inseparable from her, and many things have to be done by her. However, I'm afraid it's inappropriate to think that if I go in alone and leave the second young lady and the third uncle and sister-in-law alone. If she takes Zhou Yazhu in to serve, she will hang the third master alone here, so she won't go in and stay here with the two masters.

"Third master, in case the old lady is in a bad condition, then..." Jinglan said.

"Then let's not talk about it for the time being. The premise of the showdown is that grandma is in good spirits and can digest this matter. If the timing is not right, it's still as I said just now. I will accompany my grandmother to the palace with the help of the old princess. Things should be hidden. Leng Haochen stood in the corridor and looked at the Cuizhu opposite being blown by the autumn wind, and he was also a little uneasy.

"I also think so. Everything is based on grandma's physical condition. At that time, we will act according to the opportunity. Zhou Yazhu said that although she usually doesn't talk much and doesn't like to walk around, she is not stupid and knows how to advance and retreat when doing things.

After about a bit of incense, the little maid Xiangyue came out and reported that the old lady had woken up.

"Xiangyue, how is the old lady's spirit after taking a nap?" Jinglan asked in a hurry.

Sister Jinglan, the old lady is not in good spirits and seems to have had a nightmare in her nap. Xiang Xue and Xiang Lan were waiting for the old lady to get up and wash, but the old lady didn't talk much. Sister Xiangxue saw that the old lady was not in good condition and asked Xiangyue to tell Sister Jinglan so that she could be prepared. Xiangyue told the truth.

"I know, Xiangyue, you go and serve the old lady first. I'll be there in a moment." Jinglan took Xiangyue away and looked at Zhou Yazhu and Leng Haochen with dignified expressions. "I'm afraid it's hard to say that."

"Let's see what happens first!" Leng Haochen said, "Maybe grandma will recover in a while. It's not terrible to have a nightmare, but I'm afraid that grandma will dream of Su Wanqing, which will be troublesome.

"Third master, second young lady, if Jinglan goes to the old lady's place first, so that we can be prepared." Jinglan said.

"Jinglan, I went to the front hall with my third master to wait for grandma. When you come out with grandma later, you have to give us a code first, so as not to say something wrong and make grandma unhappy. Zhou Yazhu said that he had also made a reasonable arrangement.

"Jinglan understands. The old lady will have tea in the front hall when she gets up. If I let the old lady eat osmanthus cake first, it means that I'm fine. I can tell the truth to the old lady. If I give the mung bean pastry to the old lady, it means that the matter is very serious. If I persuade the old lady to drink tea first, it is that if Jinglan doesn't find the old lady, she can't judge the suitable situation. She needs the third master and the second young lady to think about it together. Jinglan said, and Leng Haochen and Zhou Yazhu nodded and agreed.

Leng Haochen and Zhou Yazhu just arrived in the front hall for a short time, and Qi Xinlan came uninvited.

Qixinlan wears a gorgeous pink shirt and wears peach blossom makeup, which looks full of spring. Compared with Zhou Yazhu's elegance, Qixinlan is much brighter.

Leng Haochen couldn't help frowning. At this time, Su Wanqing's disappearance, Su Wanxiu committed suicide, and the old lady were also worried about all kinds of troubles in the general's mansion. What's more, there is a plague in the western suburbs that makes him breathless, and it's even more unpleasant to see Qixinlan like this. Now it's an eventful time, and everyone is worried, but this Qixinlan is so happy that she doesn't know what she is happy all day long?

Qi Xinlan saluted Leng Haochen, said a few words politely to Zhou Yazhu, and sat next to Leng Haochen, "Cousin, are you also coming to see grandma?"

Seeing that Leng Haochen did not reply, Qi Xinlan continued: "I heard that grandma looks good today, so she came to see grandma and talk with her to relieve her boredom. I didn't expect Cousin Chen to come over too. Grandma must be happy to see you!"

"Heart Lan!" Leng Haochen shouted.

When Qi Xinlan heard that Leng Haochen was going to talk to her, she immediately became angry, "Cousin Chen, do you have anything to tell Xinlan?"

"It's not a big deal. It's just that the funeral has just been held in the house, and grandma was in danger before, and she didn't recover for a while. You dress so brightly every day, which doesn't seem to be suitable for the current atmosphere of the general's mansion. Leng Haochen said lightly.

Qixinlan first heard that Leng Haochen had arrived at Songhezhai, and then she specially dressed up. Unexpectedly, this elaborate dress did not make her beloved cousin Chen look at her a few more, but she was dissatisfied. Qi Xinlan's heart suddenly felt like a big stone, which was a little blocked.

Although Qi Xinlan was sad, she finally put up with it. "Yes, Xinlan understood. Change into plain clothes later. It's Xinlan who is ignorant. Don't blame Xinlan."

"Nothing, I'm just saying it casually." Leng Haochen's attitude is still indifferent and indifferent.

Soon, the old lady was in the right position in the front hall with the help of Jinglan. Although she was very relieved to see a group of children coming to see her, she still had a lingering fear when she thought of that terrible dream.

Several juniors greeted the old lady. Leng Haochen and Zhou Yazhu both paid attention to Jinglan's every move. Jinglan shook her head at them and then picked up the tea. "Old lady, autumn dryness hurts people. Take a sip of tea to moisten your throat."

Leng Haochen and Zhou Yazhu looked at each other with a helpless expression. When Qi Xinlan saw the two looking at each other, she was immediately jealous. Qi Xinlan began to think that she must eradicate Zhou Yazhu in the future. She is the third young lady, so naturally want to kill both the young grandmother and the second young grandmother. What's more, this second young grandmother must be a restless widow who flirts with her beloved cousin Chen. She must be more careful.

Leng Haochen and Zhou Yazhu looked at each other just now, and it seems that they have decided not to have a showdown today. Once the old lady was in a bad condition, both of them could see that the old lady was in poor spirits. Second, with Qixinlan present, I'm afraid it's not easy to say anything. Third, if the old lady is depressed, she will definitely have no energy to go to the palace to find Su Wanqing tomorrow.

Leng Haochen and Zhou Yazhu chatted with the old lady for a while. The old lady kept the children for dinner, and several people accompanied the old lady for dinner before leaving.

Jinglan went to see Zhou Yazhu off and talked about the situation with the old lady just now. Leng Haochen was entangled by Qi Xinlan and asked him to accompany her to the garden. Leng Haochen didn't want to lose his temper with Qi Xinlan, but he couldn't resist, so he had to make a circle and send Qi Xinlan back to the courtyard where she lived, and then quickly returned to the study.

Sun Qi was already waiting for Leng Haochen in his study at this time, and he had completed what Leng Haochen explained yesterday. We also have to wait for Leng Haochen to arrange a new task for him.

"Third Master, I've been waiting for you for a long time. How's the old lady?" Sun Qi asked with concern that the old lady was very kind in the house and took good care of Sun Qi, Leng Haochen, so Sun Qi also cared about the old lady's health from the bottom of her heart.

"Alas! I'm in a poor spirit, and I can't hide this. Leng Haochen sat on the chair, took a deep breath and told Sun Qi everything about today.

"I hope the old lady can get through this." Sun Qi sighed.

"Bear by the way, Third Master, you went to the palace to visit the saint today. Have you figured out about the plague in the western suburbs?" Sun Qi hurriedly asked that the plague was also an earth-shaking thing.

"The emperor has basically confirmed the plague. I have explored the emperor's mouth, and it seems that I will deal with it in the same way as before, surrounding the epidemic area, and allowing patients and people who may be infected to survive and die in that circle." Leng Haochen said anxiously.

"But why haven't you heard the movement yet? Today, I went to the western suburbs again, and I didn't seem to see anyone in the court. Sun Qi said.

"The emperor is not hard-hearted, and the emperor also hopes to control the plague without hurting the people. However, the emperor is also involuntarily. Leng Haochen said.

"Is it the Prime Minister's obstruction again?" Sun Qi asked.

"Isn't it? The emperor didn't agree that the old man wanted to set fire to the villagers. Leng Haochen said, "The emperor told me that in fact, he did not want to hurt the people, but he couldn't help it."

"The hateful old man is simply a snake and scorpion heart." Sun Qi stared.

"I told the emperor what I thought, and the emperor gave me ten days. If I can't control the plague within ten days and there is a tendency to spread, then the emperor can only follow the meaning of the prime minister. Leng Haochen said.

"I don't know when Little Snow will return to the capital?" Sun Qi sighed, "Miss Xiaoxue's medical skills are so good that even my mother-in-law can keep getting better. If she comes back to help, there will be no hope for ten days."

"Yes, Xiaoxue is good at medicine. And Su Wanqing, who is also a master of Xinglin, and her treatment methods are unconventional and have some skills. It would be great if Su Wanqing and Xiao Xue would work together!" Leng Haochen sighed, but he never thought that Su Henxue and Su Wanqing were actually alone.

"Third Master, the maid of Miss Xiaoxue has notified Miss Xiaoxue. Xiaoxue is so kind that she will definitely come back as soon as she gets the news. It's just Su Wanqing, but she doesn't know if she can find it. Guo Qixuan has been doing his best, and I also explained your instructions to him today, but I always feel that it will be difficult to find her in the short term. Sun Qi said.

Leng Haochen was silent, and Sun Qi asked, "Master, what do you want me to do next?"

"Keep an eye on the people of Qixinlan, maybe there are some clues." Leng Haochen said that he still doubted Qixinlan.
