321. No matter how beautiful the surface is, it can’t hide the intrigue behind the scenes.

Qi Mingluan almost stayed in the distance. He didn't wake up until the tea cup in his hand was hot. He looked around and saw that Qi Minglan's maid and his young and old Qiao were both at a certain distance and would not hear what Qi Minglan said just now.

words.

If you keep yourself safe, you will lose your beauty and your life. Qi Mingluan doesn't believe it. This is coming from her mother's mouth. When it comes to keeping yourself safe, Qi Minglan can be said to be a model among the children of the Qi family. She follows the rules, is kind-hearted, and does not fight with others.

Don't make enemies with others. The mother's warning to Qi Minglan was because she wanted to marry Qi Minglan into the Shen family. It is possible that the Shen family would be a dragon in a tiger's den.

"How about I go talk to my mother and return to the Shen family to propose marriage?" The worst-case scenario that Qi Mingluan could think of was just something superficial, marrying a bad old man, marrying a rogue son, or

Even if there are a bunch of concubines vying for favor, can it be so bad that the beauty will disappear? Compared with the cruel-hearted Qi Mingqiu and the simple-minded Qi Mingyue, Qi Minglan can definitely have a better home.

"Now, maybe even the wedding date has been set." Looking at Qi Minglan's smile now, Qi Mingluan can see some helplessness.

Since my mother is pregnant now and has to go with my father to meet the Shen family, I am afraid this marriage cannot be canceled. To put it bluntly, if there are other concubine sisters of similar age in the family,

Qi Mingluan must fight with her mother to marry someone else.

"Third sister, what happened that night? It was the night when my adoptive father and the others stayed at the house." With the current status of the Qi family, it is not difficult to find a well-matched in-law, not to mention the fact that the eldest daughter of the concubine married

She joined the royal family as a concubine, and the eldest son even married the princess. Even if the marriage of the children could not be exceeded, it would not be much lower. It would not be possible for the Shen family, which had insufficient wealth and a complicated family environment, to reject it.

Therefore, her mother's decision will have her mother's reasons. For example, she has not forgotten what her mother said about punishing Qi Minglan for doing something wrong. She must do this for the good of her legitimate daughter.

"I don't know." Qi Minglan looked at Qi Mingluan and then said.

"Is it because mother doesn't want you to tell her? Xiaoqi just promises not to tell mother, she is just curious." Qi Mingluan would not believe that Qi Minglan didn't know that Aunt Xiao's eagerness and Qi Minglan's admission of mistake were all because of something wrong.

Admit your mistakes when you know something?

"It's not the mother's relationship, but I really don't know where to start." Qi Minglan's expression showed that she was trying to hide something, her pink lips tightened a little, and she let out a long sigh. "That day.

At night, for some reason, I always felt so upset that I couldn't sleep, so I wanted to go out for a walk, and as I walked, I ended up at the Bamboo Garden..."

Talking about this incident from Qi Minglan's perspective, it was actually very short. She couldn't sleep, so she took a walk and arrived at the Bamboo Garden. Then she was seen by people coming out from all over the place. The people from Beihou were busy there, and Qi Minglan was taken to

Qi Mingluan saw what happened in the mistress's courtyard and what happened next.

"Third Sister, who else did you meet that night?" As he listened, Qi Mingluan gradually heard the clues. Someone had set up a trap in the Qi family, a trap intended to trap Mr. Beihou.

"By the way, while I was walking, I saw a figure passing by. I was curious and wanted to catch up to see what was going on. Unknowingly, I arrived at the Bamboo Garden. I felt something was wrong. I just wanted to leave, but it was already too late." Qi Minglan actually said.

I always thought that my mistress Xu Shishen

I saw her at night because she shouldn't be wandering around the house late at night, but she happened to go to the Zhuyuan. Since Aunt Wan left the house, the Zhuyuan has become an empty yard. It can be said that the Zhuyuan does not know why.

Because of this, it became a forbidden area in Qi Mansion.

"Then Aunt Xiao was worried that Third Sister you would be punished by your mother, so she ran outside my courtyard in the middle of the night." Sure enough, Mu Jianping and Qi Minglan both felt that they couldn't sleep at the same time and wanted to go for a walk. It happened that they both left.

Arriving at the Zhuyuan, where no one had lived for a long time, was it really such a coincidence? The figure that both of them saw was the key, and that figure was probably Qi Mingyue's trick.

It is not difficult to guess why Mu Jianping lost consciousness after entering the room. The simplest method is to have burned incense in the room in advance. The purpose couldn't be simpler, just like Sun Miaoqing would drug Yu Yide.

Qi Mingyue really overestimated herself.

Maybe they didn't predict that the three Mu Gongzi would appear together, or they didn't enter the room together, which prevented the follow-up plan from being implemented. At this time, Qi Minglan's appearance naturally made Mu Shuping and Mu Jianping unable to find each other.

The starting point of Jingping and his two brothers.

From the time Mu Jianping disappeared from coma to when he regained consciousness, there was still a gap that had not been filled in. However, Qi Mingluan would not care about whether Qi Mingyue's wish came true or not and what happened to Mu Jianping. He was just a girl in her early teens.

What could happen?

But what worries Qi Mingluan is that Qi Mingyue's brain cannot plan this. Although she doesn't want to believe it, there is only one person in the entire Qi family who can plan this, Aunt Qing's son, Qi Mingqiu's younger brother Qi Shaoguang.

Not to mention the purpose, Qi Shaoguang can only be the only one who will dig a hole for Qi Mingyue.

After drinking a cup of tea and eating some snacks, the sun was shining warmly outside the pavilion. I looked at the apricot tree that had grown taller and had a lot more green leaves. No matter how beautiful the surface was, it could not hide the hidden truth.

Intrigue.

Looking at the unaware Qi Minglan in front of him, Qi Mingluan felt helpless in his heart. The Qi Mansion was already in peace. The relationship between the master and the mistress was bound. There were not many concubines, and there were not many children born from concubines.

Under 200% favoritism, we have lived in peace and harmony for many years. Except for the fact that Aunt Qing is first-rate, this is indeed the case.

"Well, now that the third sister is destined to marry into the Shen family, the younger sister can't do much to help. The third sister doesn't have any maids who have served her since she was a child as a dowry. How about letting the younger sister arrange a safe person for the older sister?"

She designed Qi Minglan without knowing it, and it would be a mistake to marry her

It is true that the Shen family, who is incomparable to others, is prone to losing beauty. Qi Mingluan will not say anything to Qi Minglan. She has lived with the title of a concubine for more than ten years, and her temperament has been set. In addition to adding makeup, it is better to find someone.

It is more useful for Qi Minglan to have capable people by his side.

"This..." Qi Minglan hesitated. The situation of the Shen family was described by Aunt Xiao as more terrible than anything else. As a concubine, she shouldn't have a dowry girl, so when it came to the Shen family, she might not even have a trustworthy person.

No one is there.

"Even if it is included in the dowry, and if both mother and father come forward, it is definitely impossible for the third sister to marry as a concubine. It is impossible for a mistress to be a mistress without someone accustomed to taking care of her." After all, Qi Mingluan didn't even marry Qi Minglan.
