Ziyan looked at the fourth lady with admiration and said, "The young lady is really a clever plan, she saw that the big room was wrong, but she asked the slave maid to pay attention to the movement in the third room." Sure enough, after noon, Mingyue went out of the house. The slave maid had an extra heart, and also hired a carriage, gave the groom a piece of silver, and asked the coachman to keep an eye on Mingyue's carriage and secretly follow behind her. When the slave saw her walking and stopping, she actually went to the courtyard where our Yuanning Marquis Mansion was idle or rented out. ”

"Is she going to the other courtyard?" the fourth lady frowned, "What is she going to do there, could it be that Xiao Wu sent her to find the eldest master?"

Ziyan shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either. She continued: "After returning to the house, the slave maid also found an old man in the house, that is, the mother-in-law of the old man Huang who guarded the gatehouse, and heard the mother-in-law say that there are always three other courtyards in our Yuanning Hou Mansion, one has been abandoned for a long time, and there is no one living there for several years, and only one old courtyard is on duty there. The other two rooms were made by the old lady, rented to others, and collected rent. ”

Speaking of this, Ziyan raised her head, looked at the fourth lady and said: "Miss, if it is really as you said, Mingyue was instructed by the fifth miss to find the eldest master, and two of the three mansions have been rented, and if you want to hide people, it is the one that has been abandoned for a long time." But if you love cleanliness so much, can you live in that kind of place?"

The fourth lady also felt that this matter was a bit incredible, but her intuition told her that she could find out what was wrong with the eldest master, and that extremely smart little five would never feel it. Now that Xiao Wu sent his own girl, she must be going to the eldest master. Mingyue is so keen on the courtyard of the Yuanning Hou Mansion. At the very least, these annexes must be hiding some secrets.

"Purple smoke!" the fourth lady said, "You send a few more people." Day and night, I watched the movements of Liuyun Temple. If I'm not mistaken, Xiao Wu will definitely make some moves in the next few days, and when the time comes, we will be able to discover the secrets here. ”

Ziyan nodded solemnly: "The slave will do it when she turns around." ”

The fourth lady sat down again, drinking tea and bowing her head in contemplation.

Ziyan really couldn't understand a question in her heart, so she couldn't help but call: "Miss." ”

The fourth lady raised her head and saw that Ziyan was still in front of her. Some wondered, "What?"

Ziyan frowned and said: "Since Miss wants to bring down the third room so much, why is the Queen Mother's birthday banquet a few days ago, Miss is obviously fine." Why don't you participate, but let the three rooms be in the limelight......"

In Ziyan's opinion, her own young lady is versatile, and she didn't go to the Queen Mother's birthday banquet. Show a few hands in front of the Queen Mother and the Emperor. It's a shame.

She thought for a while, and then added: "If the young lady makes a move, the fifth lady will definitely not seize this opportunity to be in the limelight, and she will not be as arrogant and proud as she is now, I heard that she is still in the mansion today to meet with the eldest prince of the Anning Hou Mansion! This news reached the old lady, and the old lady was not only angry, but also said that she would let the eldest prince Lu come to the mansion more often to sit down, so as to enhance the relationship between the two of them." Miss, take a look. Now even the old lady has fallen to her side, what a shame!"

"If you climb high, you will fall hard!" said the fourth lady viciously. "Let's let her be proud for a few more days, I'm afraid that she will cry when the time comes!"

Ziyan found that she had taken the topic away, and hurriedly pulled it back: "Miss, why don't you go to congratulate the Queen Mother on her birthday? What a great opportunity, but it was wasted!"

"Is it a waste?" the fourth lady sneered habitually, "You and I know the piano skills of the big room, but they have invited a well-known female gentleman at that time to come over to teach since childhood, and I heard that this female gentleman was the best musician in the court back then." With such a good musician, can this student be sent there? Not to mention the one in the big room who has been praised as talented since he was a child. If I attend the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, I will be compared to her, and it is better to pretend to be sick at home than to be bored. ”

Ziyan nodded and said, "Miss, the slave knows that you don't want to have a hard fight with the second miss, so she made this decision, but, in this way, didn't we lose?"

The fourth lady raised her eyebrows: "How could it be possible that we lost! Do you think it was an accident that the one in the big house broke the piano in front of the public?"

Ziyan's eyes widened in surprise, looking at the fourth young lady, her eyes didn't move: "So, yes, yes......"

She "was" several times, but didn't say what was next.

Miss Gu Si had already turned her head, picked up a letter pressed under the pillow, looked at Ziyan and said, "You go out of the house now, send this letter to the address on it, and ......"

As she spoke, the fourth lady handed Ziyan a letter from a money bank in the capital, and continued: "This is a letter of 1,000 taels of silver, I have already passed the account, you give it to that person, and after that person reads the letter, he will naturally understand." ”

Ziyan quickly glanced at the voucher, this voucher bank, in the capital, is not too big for the many money banks in the capital, it can be regarded as medium-sized. She was a little curious about how her young lady would deposit her money in that bank, generally speaking, the big money bank is more secure.

The fourth lady seemed to see through Ziyan's thoughts, and said: "You have to be secretive about this matter, I just don't want others to know too much and be suspicious, so I put the silver in this not very inconspicuous bank." The man I want you to send the letter to him is a small helper in the piano shop, and he has only been working for half a year, and he owes a bunch of debts, and he is almost chased and killed by the people of the gambling house with knives. After all, I saved his life. With that, she laughed.

Ziyan finally understood, it turned out that the second lady broke the strings at the banquet, it was not a natural event, but man-made, it was her own lady who bribed the piano shop, and deliberately made hands and feet on the strings when the second lady took the piano over for maintenance. The second lady didn't know anything about it, and she was unsettled, so she didn't notice the abnormality of the piano at all, and even thought it was her bad luck afterwards.

And why did the fourth lady refuse to go to the queen mother's banquet when she was sick, in addition to her inferior skills, she also avoided appearing on the same occasion as the second lady, so as not to make people look at her with suspicion!

Ziyan secretly admired the calculation of the fourth lady, and was able to turn a long-planned incident into an accident, which made the second miss feel ashamed, so she didn't think about tracking down the murderer at all, and she couldn't chase the fourth miss.

"Miss, you are really a master. Ziyan said sincerely.

"What is this!" the fourth lady said disapprovingly, and then urged Ziyan, "Go quickly, if someone stops you, you just say that I said it, you say to them, the fourth miss is making trouble again, clamoring to eat authentic Yangchun noodles outside, and if she doesn't give it, she will cry, so she has no choice but to knock on the door of the Yangchun shop in the middle of the night." ”

Ziyan said with a smile: "I didn't expect Miss to be so thoughtful, and even what I was going to say when I went out this time was thought of for me, so I will tell them word for word according to Miss's words!"

With that, he turned around and went out.

The fourth lady saw that it was already late, so she called Shen Gui to come up and wait for her to sleep. (To be continued......)
