When he returned to the courtyard, Qian was holding Tianshen and Xiaoshunzi and was standing at the gate of the courtyard and waiting. When he saw me come back, he was first overjoyed, but when he saw the attendant following me, his face was stunned.

Tianshen saw me say "Eniang" in a childish voice, and then stretched out his hand and struggled to pounce into my arms. Qian wanted to step forward and hand Tianshen to me, but the attendant behind me stepped forward and stopped him first, and said: "The master said, from now on, Geng Gege has thought about it behind closed doors, without the permission of the master, no one is allowed to step into Geng Gege's house for half a step, as for the little brother Tianshen, he will be taken care of by Qian Gege." ”

Qian wanted to say something, but was stopped by Xiao Shunzi who followed from behind, I looked at the two of them and Xiao Tianshen who was crying, endured the reluctance in my heart, hooked a smile on my lips and shook my head silently, and then turned my head and quickened my steps into the house.

The sound of the door locking blocked Tianshen's crying outside, and then slowly moved away, presumably Qian Shi hugged him away.

I sat in an empty room without any popularity, and the whole person was silent, and I couldn't help but laugh bitterly at myself, it turned out that only in this way can I get real Qingning.

After the lockdown, in order to prevent the people in the courtyard from carrying the news with the food, my routine in the small kitchen was reclassified back to the Fuzhong dining room and sent in. Fortunately, the Ulanala clan has an explanation, and the daily food consumption has not been deducted. But no matter how the Ulanala clan took care of it, after the incident of the aster, as long as I thought that the power of the Li clan in the house would always be touched, I became less trusting of everyone and everything, so I carefully tried the silver hairpin every day to make sure that it was not poisonous before I dared to eat it.

The situation in the court is becoming more and more unpredictable, and Yinzhen is also busy with government affairs, and rarely goes to and from the inner courtyard because he is busy, and occasionally comes very late to rest in Nian's house for a night and leaves.

The affairs of the inner courtyard have always been in the hands of the Wulanala clan, although the atmosphere in the first month or two was a little tense, but with Yinzhen not being there often, his explicit prohibition began to become a decoration with policies and countermeasures, and as time went by, many things began to loosen. In particular, as the mistress of the mansion and the person in charge of the affairs of the inner court, no one dared to stop her from visiting, so a lot of news began to reach me.

It's just that when the Wulanala clan came to see me in person, the first news they brought me was not good news - Xiao Shunzi was beaten by Yinzhen for 30 boards on the grounds of unfavorable prison guards shortly after I was grounded. Although he has a good physical foundation, the thirty boards also make him hurt his muscles and bones, and he can barely get up now.

This incident was originally expected, that is, I knew that I would be punished, and Xiao Shunzi would inevitably be angry, so he asked him to go to Yinzhen to plead guilty immediately after I was grounded, and then put all the fault on me. But listening to the meaning of the Wulanala clan, he didn't seem to do this, but deliberately defended me, but unexpectedly angered Yinzhen who was angry. Yinzhen scolded him at the time for being a "dog slave who doesn't know what to do", but fortunately, Yinzhen cherished his talent, and finally he was not willing to kill the killer, so he was severely punished by the thirty boards.

I only sigh that Xiao Shunzi is a fool, but I am also moved by his loyalty, after experiencing one betrayal after another, such loyalty is extremely precious and cherished for me.

"Please Sister Fujin take care of Xiao Shunzi for me," I pleaded with the Ulanala clan.

"Sister doesn't have to be so polite, even if you don't open this mouth, I will take care of it. I also thought about it, it's not good for everyone on your side to serve, although the prince said that he didn't let people visit, but he didn't say that he wouldn't let people serve, and when Xiaoshunzi was injured, he still let him go back to you to serve. My identity is inconvenient, and in the future, there must be a reliable person to pass on the news everywhere. Ulanala said.

"That's a good relationship, there is Sister Lao Fujin. "When I heard about the arrangement of the Ulanala clan, my heart was warm and happy, and I sincerely thanked her.

Xiao Shunzi's injury was almost September, and after he entered the house, he knelt down and bowed, and said in a deep voice: "The slave did not protect Gege, please punish Gege." ”

"What is this saying, you have done a good job, now you have a wound on your body, the ground is cold, write it quickly. I personally got up and helped him up, moved a chair for him to sit down, and continued: "The world is impermanent, the human heart is unpredictable, and who can really calculate everything clearly. But she also took it seriously, the things of the past few years can be investigated so carefully, it seems that even the inner servants close to the ninth master have their people. ”

"It shouldn't be an overnight thing, the minions are worried that they have put so much effort into it, and it's not just as simple as wanting to grounding Gege. It stands to reason that the evidence of Gege and the Ninth Master is conclusive, and Gege himself admits that it is not just so comfortable and grounded. Xiao Shunzi had an injury on his waist, and now he had to sit down with his hands on his knees, and said in a light voice.

"Do you think they have the next move?" I couldn't help frowning and asking after listening to Xiao Shunzi's words.

"In fact, returning to Gege's side to serve was begged by the slave to the master of Fujin by himself. Now Mama Xia was assigned to Qian Gege to take care of the little brother after Gege was convicted, and there was only one available person left by Gege's side. The slave was worried that Li Fang Fujin still had a backhand, so he begged to come over and take care of it. Xiao Shunzi said.

"But if you come to serve me, I'm afraid Sister Qian will have less helpers, she is not an assertive person, I am worried about ......" I said with a deep worry in my eyes.

"Gege doesn't have to worry, although Gege is not allowed to leave the house now, he didn't say that the minions are not allowed to go out. I'll take care of it, and I'll come back if there's anything. Xiao Shunzi was relieved: "What's more, since Qian Gege was framed that time, the slave felt that Qian Gege seemed to be different from before, and now when Gege had an accident, Qian Gege never cried from beginning to end, and handled everything quite properly according to Gege's explanation step by step, even Tianshen's little brother took good care of it." ”

Hearing that Qian was able to handle the affairs of the yard independently, I felt a lot of relief in my heart, which shows that people always need to experience setbacks to grow up and be strong.

"Since everything is fine with you, then I am also relieved, as for whether the Li family will be willing to give up like this, it is really hard to say, just be careful. I sighed helplessly: "But you don't have to stay with me to serve, because I have nothing to do all day long, and my daily life is simple, and there is nothing to serve." Second, although the fourth master didn't say that there could be no one around me to serve, he didn't say that he could, and we couldn't leave a handle for the future. In fact, I know the fourth master, although he was furious this time, but the so-called grounding is just a lock on the door, and he didn't send people to guard it all day long as before, Fujin and you don't go back and forth like you, do you think he really doesn't know anything?"

"Gege thinks that the master doesn't really want to punish him?" asked Xiao Shunzi after thinking for a moment.

"Of course there is a punishment, how can those people be stopped if they are not punished. But sometimes punishment is also protection. I smiled and said one possibility that had come to mind after calming down in the past few days.

Yinzhen has never beaten me, and he is not the kind of person who will beat people with his own hands, but that day he knew that I had nothing to do with the ninth master, but he still beat me, and I walked all the way back with the slap marks on my face. In fact, I also had grievances and resentments in my heart at that time, but when I calmed down these days, if it weren't for this, how could the people who hurt me believe that the fourth master was really angry this time, and how could they believe that I was really punished. If I hadn't been punished, they would have come up with something more ruthless against me. The matter between me and Yinzhen is now in the hands of Yinzhen, and he must have pressed this matter down without letting Concubine De Niangniang and the emperor know about it, otherwise it would not be as simple as being grounded. If those people feel that this is just Yinzhen's delaying tactic this time, then the booklet that says about me and Yinzhen doesn't know who will hand it over to make a big deal out of it, and I will not be able to live at that time.

This is not my imagination of Yinzhen's thoughts. Ten years is enough time to know a person, not to mention that I knew him in the first place. Yinzhen is a very high-spirited person, and when this booklet was handed over to him, he knew very well that someone was deliberately targeting me. Coupled with Aster's reminder that day, Yinzhen knew very well who was doing all this. Although he was really angry that I had hidden the past intersection with Yinyu from him, he was even more annoyed that someone was trying to play tricks in front of him and the woman he wanted to protect.

So he beat me and punished Xiao Shunzi in order to make a good show, he locked me up to show that person, and also wanted to protect me, at least during the time I was detained, that person couldn't do anything to me anymore. As for him moving my meals from the kitchen to the middle of the house, there must be a reason for him. With my understanding of him, this practice is also protecting me, because if something happens in the small kitchen, it can only be traced to the people in my yard, but if it is a dining room in the house, Yinzhen can find someone to keep an eye on, and once there is anything unusual, he will inevitably be able to pull out Rob and bring out the mud, that person is not stupid, how can he easily hit the muzzle.

"The master is really still interested in Gege," Xiao Shunzi said with a long sigh of relief after listening to my analysis.

"Don't take it lightly, I'm not worried about myself, I'm afraid that she will attack the children, so you don't have to serve me, you must take care of the two children" I told Xiao Shunzi again and again.

Xiao Shunzi didn't insist, nodded in response, got up and exited, and the door was locked again, isolating all disturbances. (To be continued.) )
