"But the old lady ......," the eldest lady smiled suddenly, glanced at the old lady, and stopped talking.

The old lady is upright by nature, and she can't stand others saying half a sentence without saying half a sentence, so she immediately waved her hand and said, "If you have anything to say, say it quickly, don't hang my appetite as an old woman!"

The eldest lady frowned, looking embarrassed: "The old lady loves Sister Fang, Sister Fang keeps it in her heart, and she will definitely share her worries for the old lady and the Yuanning Hou Mansion." It's just that Sister Fang and Sister Rong are sisters anyway, and the third room once took care of the orphan on her deathbed, and handed Sister Rong over to the old lady to take care of, and the old lady naturally treated Sister Rong differently from others. Now Sister Rong'er's position as the crown princess has been given to Sister Fang, and when this word spreads, it is rumored by those who have a heart that it will become a sister's discord, and if she snatches her love with a knife, then my Sister Fang will not survive. Besides, Sister Rong is alone in the house, and my third uncle and his wife went early, she has received the grace of God, and she is about to be named the crown princess, but we have a plan to adjust the bag, in case Sister Rong knows, I don't know if I can't think about it. If something really happens, I, as a daughter-in-law, am afraid that I will be given the handle again and accused of oppressing orphan girls......"

The old lady looked at the eldest lady and said slowly: "Who dares to say, I cut off her tongue and don't feed the dog!"

The eldest lady's heart sank, followed by more joy. She knows the old lady too well, the old woman in front of her has always only paid attention to the reputation and future of the Yuanning Hou Mansion, no matter the life and death of others, as long as it is beneficial to the Yuanning Hou Mansion, she will vigorously promote good things; on the contrary, if it is not conducive to the Yuanning Hou Mansion, it will greatly damage the interests of the Yuanning Hou Mansion, she will not be merciful, even if it is to beat the mandarin duck and kill people.

She was even happier that her sister Fang had hope of winning the crown princess.

The old lady said this, which was almost equivalent to giving her a promise: Replacing Sister Rong with Sister Fang was a must-do, and if anyone made a noise or something, she, the old woman, would never show mercy.

At this time, her heart finally fell to the ground like a stone hanging in the air. Then, it's time to solve another troublesome problem.

"Old lady, who told Sister Rong over there?" the eldest lady asked tentatively, "After all, Sister Rong and Sister Fang often have contacts, and Sister Rong also asks Sister Fang for calligraphy and painting from time to time, in case Sister Rong knows about it, if there is a quarrel after Sister Rong knows, if the rumors of this sister's discord spread......"

The old lady's eyes widened: "What sisters are at odds with? In my Yuanning Hou Mansion, this kind of thing will never happen! If Sister Rong wants to end up like Sister Fei, let her make trouble!"

The eldest lady laughed from the bottom of her heart with joy. She made up her mind that she must disclose this matter to Gu Zhirong "very coincidentally", in this case, she will watch this thorn in her eye make trouble in the Yuanning Hou Mansion from the side, and then borrow the hand of the old lady to pull out this thorn in her eye and get rid of the future trouble forever.

Miss Seven's fate, she dreamed of letting Gu Zhirong taste it.

"Then what is the old lady going to do with the matter of sending flowers today?" asked the eldest lady tentatively.

The old lady frowned, thought for a moment, and sighed: "Well, since the Lu family has re-mentioned family affairs, my Yuanning Marquis Mansion will never be a treacherous person." Before her death, the third daughter-in-law entrusted me to take good care of Sister Rong, and Sister Rong has been in the house for many years, and the relationship with my grandmother is quite close, I heard that the son of Ning'an Houfu Lu is also a young talent, and he is well-known among the scholars in the capital, and Sister Rong is not too aggrieved to marry him...... That's it. ”

When she heard the last sentence, the eldest lady's heart sank suddenly, and she couldn't help but secretly bite the back of her teeth, and secretly cursed: "The dead old woman, sure enough, is the Wanguan family property that occupies the third room, and she feels that she is at a loss, so she favors the dead girl!

On the surface, he still had a calm expression, and echoed: "The old lady is thoughtful, if Sister Rong knows that the old lady is heartbroken for her, I am afraid that she will be moved to cry." ”

After thinking about it, the eldest lady said again: "Old lady, my niece is now in the palace, do you want your daughter-in-law to ask her, blow the pillow wind to the emperor from time to time, and slowly reveal the matter of this exchange to the emperor, so that the emperor can have a mental preparation in advance, so as not to say it all at once and not accept it." ”

The old lady looked at the eldest lady appreciatively and said, "And you have thought it through." ”

Next, the old lady handed over Gu Zhirong's family affairs to the eldest lady to handle, so that she could contact the Lu Mansion as soon as possible and restart the marriage contract. The eldest lady held back the disgust in her heart and responded one by one.

When she got out, the eldest lady walked out, and at the same time instructed Cai's mother who followed aside: "You will send me a letter to the palace later, I can't wait, you tell my good niece that the plan of action must be meticulous, and must not show the slightest flaw." Also, relay my words to her, I want that dead girl to go through this once, and she will never be able to turn over! Hmph, I want to marry into the Ning'an Hou Mansion to enjoy the glory and wealth, but there is no door!"

Mother Cai smiled sadly: "Madame, just put a hundred hearts, the concubine is so smart, what she does, is there a time when Madam can't believe it?" I see that Sister Rong, this time she is dying." ”

The eldest lady said viciously: "This time, we must put her to death, and we must not give her a chance to turn over like last time! I want her to know that she dares to compete with my sister Fang for the crown princess, this is the end!"

Cai's mother nodded and said, "The noble concubine came to write some time ago, saying that everything was arranged. Madame doesn't need to work so hard, just wait quietly, and as soon as the birthday of the concubine is over, the death of the five girls will come. ”

The eldest lady nodded patiently, she really wished that tomorrow would be the birthday of the noble concubine, and she would never see that thorn in her side again.

＊＊＊＊＊＊

Gu Zhirong suddenly thought that in a few days, the summer would pass, and the lotus flowers would bloom and fail, so the matter of collecting the dew on the lotus petals had to be hurried, this was the rootless water for making spices. So he called to pick green water and prepare to row a boat to the lotus pond.

As soon as he stepped into the moon cave door of the garden, his arm was grabbed by someone, and when he looked back, it was actually the second lady.

"Second sister, why are you so free today, and you have come to this lotus pond?" Gu Zhirong greeted her with a smile.

Second Miss Gu Yuanfang was not in such a good mood as her, she dismissed the maid beside her, pulled Gu Zhirong aside, lowered her voice, and her face was gloomy: "Gu Xiaowu, you did this on purpose, didn't you?"

Gu Zhirong smiled and said, "What did my sister say?"

The second lady said impatiently: "Don't pretend to be confused for me, did you let Mr. Lu do this when you sent flowers in the morning?"

Gu Zhirong looked at her sideways, and did not answer positively: "Second sister, isn't this very good? I said it, I have no interest in the prince, my crush is not the prince, the twisted melon is not sweet, there is no need to ruin the happiness of the two of us because of a joke from the emperor, right? I just make some amends before causing a tragedy." ”

The second young lady looked at Gu Zhirong in shock, she didn't expect that the latter would say such a thing. did not deliberately flatter and flatter, just a few simple words, starting from her own happiness, simple and plain, but it poked her heart at once.

What woman doesn't want to marry someone who is in love with her and will be good to her for the rest of her life?

Gu Zhirong said with a straight face: "Actually, second sister, you don't need to feel guilty at all, I did this not for you, but for the sake of my own happiness." Besides, people in the world have squeezed their heads in order to become the crown princess, and my withdrawal does not mean that my sister must be the crown princess, right? So, what to do next, that is my sister's business. ”

The second young lady looked at Gu Zhirong in a daze: "Little Wu, do you really have to marry the person you like, instead of the glory and wealth that splashes the sky?"

Gu Zhirong looked at her very solemnly and nodded: "Yes." ”

The second lady turned her face slightly, looked into the distance, and did not speak again. Her eyebrows were tightly knit, and her face was full of emotion. After a while, I faintly heard her muttering: "I'd rather not be prosperous and rich, but also marry someone you like, is this really good?"
