At night, the surroundings are silent, and the light of Juping Courtyard is like a bean.

A few figures dodged through the night and went straight to the westerly Sanjin courtyard in the mansion. The moon was in the sky, and the cold moon poured down, gray and white, dimly reflecting the large black cloaks on these people's bodies, and the eyes that were covered by the cloaks.

"Everybody, please come in. As Qing Ju's deliberately lowered voice sounded, the room instantly lit up. The men in the big black cloaks seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and took off their cloaks one after another and put them on the hangers outside the house.

Several people stood in front of the curtain at the door of the house, and Qing Ju was about to open the curtain when one of them asked, "Miss Qing Ju, is there nothing wrong with your wife?"

Qing Ju's eyes darkened, lowered her eyes, and replied: "Everyone, please rest assured, Madame just accidentally injured her forehead because of the slippery ground, and she has been seen by the doctor, and there is no major problem if she takes medicine." After all, I sighed in my heart, presumably the dispute between the eldest lady and the eldest prince had already spread the rumors.

"That's good, that's good. The man said softly, not knowing whether to worry or gloat, Qingju couldn't see her face clearly in the dark night.

Qing Ju didn't want to continue this topic, after all, making such a thing out was not a glorious thing for Gu Fu. She opened the curtain and said, "Everyone, please come in, Madame and everyone have been waiting all night." ”

The few men stopped talking, and Qing Ju led them into the inner room.

The window of the inner room hangs the veil of green cicada wings, and there is a pot of jade evergreen stone bonsai, which complements each other. Further on, there is a statue of Guanyin, dressed in white, standing on a lotus flower, holding a net bottle in one hand and a willow branch in the other, and his face is full of compassion. On the aqua blue bamboo mat on the couch, the eldest lady is wearing a forehead wipe to cover the wounds on her forehead, her eyes are closed, her hands are gently turning the Buddha beads, and the look on her face is as merciful as the Guanyin statue opposite.

Qing Ju stepped forward lightly and whispered, "Madam,

Chen's mother's mother and Lufu's Tang's mother are here. ”

The eldest lady slowly opened her eyes and said, "Let them all come in." ”

Qing Ju led them in, sat them down, and then served tea.

Chen's mother Zhang was an anxious child, and as soon as she sat down, she couldn't help but say, "Big lady, what do you think should happen next in this matter?" In the past two days, the old lady in our house heard some rumors out of nowhere, and called our wife to be reprimanded, and now even the old lady does not treat our wife so well. Mrs. Gu, you have to hurry up, just do this neatly, and save our lady from worrying all day long, and everyone's life will be better. ”

The eldest lady sighed faintly: "Why don't I want to? Now my situation is also like that of your wife, the old lady went to Xiaogu Mountain, and seems to know something, I can't say for sure, now it's a good plan to make it like this, so I can only put it on hold for the time being." ”

As soon as she heard the eldest lady say to put it aside, Mother Zhang's face darkened, and she sneered: "Madame, did this mean to shirk it? Madame's original words, if the slave maid is not mistaken, she has vouched for our wife, and she will definitely complete this matter for our wife. Why, now that you're backtracking, you don't remember it?"

The eldest lady's face was embarrassed for a while, and Cai's mother on the side laughed dryly and said: "What did Mother Zhang say, how can the eldest lady regret what she promised? ”

"Think about it in the long run?" Zhang's mother looked unrelenting, "Our lady can say, one day let the little slut of the third girl dangle in front of her, she has a terrible headache, and she can't wait to pull out this thorn in her eye, you can tell me, when do you want us to wait!"

Mother Tang from the Lu Mansion on the side also echoed: "Yes, eldest lady, to be honest, this matter can't be delayed like this any longer." If the eldest son in our house is admitted to the autumn festival and has been on the rise since then, what hope does our lady have! Mrs. Gu, you better hurry up and get an idea. ”

The eldest lady glanced at Tang's mother in disgust, gritted her teeth and did not speak. If it weren't for the fact that this Lu family was involved with such a family affair with the wild girl in her house, she wouldn't have bothered to have anything to do with this Lu family!

In order to agree to other people's affairs, she had to come up with ideas for the Zhao family's outer room and let her drive the main lady to Xiaogu Mountain; she had to get close to the step-room lady of the Lu family, so that they could retire from the Gu Mansion; and she had to meet these unpopular people again and again! When she thought of this, she felt very aggrieved in her heart.

Mother Cai saw that the eldest lady's face was wrong, and she was afraid that the eldest lady would not be able to hold it back, so she would be angry, and it would not end well, so she hurriedly said with a smile: "Don't worry, my wife's promise to you will always be done." Right now...... Aren't you trying to figure it out right now?"

Before the eldest lady could speak, Mother Zhang suddenly sneered, squinted at the eldest lady and said, "Madame, don't push us again, when the old lady came, Madam specially asked me to remind the eldest lady, but don't forget who pulled the thread in the marriage of the eldest lady in your house back then, as for the bends in it, I don't need to break it again, right?"

The eldest lady's eyes suddenly froze, and cold sweat oozed from her palms. The Lu family helped a lot in the ugly things between his master and his brother back then. If you turn your face and poke it out, the consequences will be unimaginable. So he hurriedly smiled and said: "Mother Zhang, don't worry, aren't I thinking of a way? In the past two days, Concubine Cen has sent someone to come over and ask me to go to the palace to talk to her, but I have been unwell for the past two days, so I put it aside." That being the case, I will go to the palace tomorrow and discuss an idea with Concubine Cen. ”

The eldest lady has a niece who has entered the palace, that is, Cen Guifei, who is currently in her prime. So Zhang's mother pursed her lips and showed a satisfied smile.

As soon as those people left, the eldest lady couldn't hold it anymore, brushed all the teacups on the coffee table to the ground, and said hatefully: "I'm really angry, now it's not only the people in the house who are bullying me, but even the people outside the house are coming straight to the door." ”

Cai's mother was startled, this loud noise was especially obvious in the middle of the night, she hurriedly asked people to come in and clean up, while comforting: "Madam, please calm your anger, take care of yourself, you can't think nonsense tonight, take care of your spirits to go to see the concubine." Madame remembers that when this noble concubine did not enter the palace, she had the best relationship with Madame, and Madame treated her like her own daughter. Don't look at the age of the concubine, but the brain is very smart, didn't the eldest lady often ask her for advice before? This time when she entered the palace, she told the concubine about it, and the concubine would definitely be able to bring a good idea to the lady. ”

Hearing Cai's mother mention her favorite concubine Niangniang, the eldest lady's face was a little pale, and after thinking about it, she became happy and nodded: "Okay, Mother Cai, let Qingju come in and wait for me to rest, I want to sleep well, and I will see Guifei Niangniang tomorrow, I hope to get a good idea." ”

Waiting for the eldest lady to fall asleep, Cai's mother was about to quit, when she heard the eldest lady ask: "Did Yin find anything in Liu Yun's courtyard?"

Mother Cai glanced at the eldest lady, lowered her head and said, "I didn't find anything." ”

"It's kind of weird. The eldest lady frowned, "The dead lord in the second room is very smart, he deposited all his belongings with the old lady, and refused to let me have a point with the second room, why is he so casual about his daughter's relatives, and forget all about his relatives, this is really strange!"

Cai's mother leaned forward and said, "Could it be that Mrs. suspects that the wild girl in the third room is dealing with the son of the Lu family?" she thought for a while, shook her head and said, "Today, the slave maid brought more than a dozen people and turned Liu Yunyuan upside down, and I didn't find a single word about the connection between Sanfang and the Lu family." And I carefully looked at the expressions of the five girls, not pretending, I really didn't know that there was such a family business. ”

The eldest lady frowned: "This is even more strange, I booked a family affair but didn't care about it, it didn't look like the style of the three-room one." Besides, I heard the step-lady of the Lu family say that although she was very harsh on the eldest son in terms of food and clothing, she was still brightly dressed, and she would not be shy when looking for friends, and his biological mother only left a few acres of thin fields, barely enough to feed those people in the village, where is there any extra silver for him to fill the façade!"

Cai's mother moved in her heart: "Could it be that Mrs. suspects that Sanfang still has a hidden property?"

The eldest lady's face turned cold: "You keep an eye on me over there in the third room, I see that wild girl's eyes are rolling slightly, maybe she is the same as her dead mother, she is not easy to deal with." ”

Cai's mother nodded busily, and then waited for the eldest lady to sleep.
