Chapter 563: Knocking (1)
It's not so stupid, but it's not necessarily smart, it seems that the princess has made up her mind to hide it for the princess.
The third lady was angry, she didn't expect Minglan's mouth to be so strict, she didn't say much about the fact that the prince might not be the old princess's own child?
Is it really as the old man said, she has ulterior motives?
Then she's going to have to think about it.
The third wife just thought like this, but Ming Lanfeng turned around and said, "Actually, there is nothing that can't be said, Cheng's mother has an account book in her hand, which has been recorded for so many years, she has helped who has done something, how many benefits she has received from others, the account book accidentally fell into the hands of the mother, the mother recognized it as her own handwriting, Cheng's mother knew that she couldn't quibble, and scolded the mother, the mother almost fainted, and the princess felt sorry for the mother, so he let Cheng's mother be dragged out and killed." ”
It turned out that it was the prince who killed Cheng's mother with a cane, no wonder, the princess has been in the palace for so many years, and she really hasn't seen her kill a few maids with a cane.
But the prince is different, killing people is estimated to be easier for him than killing chickens, and he dares to insult the princess in front of him, isn't it looking for death?
"Account book?" the fourth lady raised her voice a little, and she couldn't sit on the stool.
Obviously, she also asked Cheng's mother to do something.
Minglan nodded, stretched out his hand and gestured, "The account book is about so thick, I was curious and stretched out my hand to turn the page, and I only had time to read the four words of Mrs. Zhao, and the mother concubine closed the account book and blew me and my husband away." ”
Minglan's voice was a little disappointed, she wanted to know who had asked Cheng's mother to do something, such a thick account book, there must be a lot of people in the palace who asked her for help.
Minglan looked at the wives with suspicion in their eyes.
The third lady glanced at the old princess, the old princess looked much calmer, what are you afraid of, whether the words of the princess are worth believing or not, even if there is such an account book, the princess will not even let the prince and the princess look at it, but I am afraid that there will be a lot of dirty things about the Zhao family, and I am afraid that the prince will be angry and find trouble with the Zhao family.
The Zhao family is now in turmoil, and they can't withstand the cold wind and arrows, and with the Zhao family in front of them, this fire can't burn them.
The doubts in her heart were solved, and the old princess saw that Minglan's eyes were not as cold as before, and when she saw that her face was pale, she said, "Since you have lost too much blood, you should recuperate for a few months, and during this period of time, the palace will let your third aunt help you take care of it." ”
Minglan shook his head and refused, "The old princess has a good intention, Minglan understands it, Minglan returned to the palace in advance, just for the housekeeper, and he didn't dare to bother the third aunt." ”
The old princess had just lost a little bit of anger, and then she surged up again, and said, "Sick like this, how can you take care of the house, I will let your third aunt help you manage it for a few months, are you afraid that your third aunt will not be able to manage it well, or are you afraid that she will take away your housekeeping rights?!"
No matter how you listen, the old princess is scolding Minglan and doesn't know what to do.
Minglan was terrified and said, "The third aunt manages Nanyuan in an orderly manner, how can she not manage the palace well, but if I let the third aunt take care of it, my father will have no reason to take the mother concubine back to the house." ”
In a word, choking the old princess half to death, Bi Minglan looked sincere and helpless, she doesn't want to be a housekeeper, what can I do, you want the third wife to take over, the princess wants the princess to take over, she is caught in the middle is in a dilemma, or you and the prince will fight, who succeeds, who will I listen to?
The old princess's chest rose and fell angrily, afraid that she would be angry, Minglan got up and said, "It's okay, I'll go back first." ”
The old princess didn't bother to look at Minglan anymore, and with a few waves of her hand, Minglan turned around and left.
Jin Huaxuan, when Sydney helped her back, several housekeepers and mothers in the palace had been waiting for her for a long time, and when they saw Minglan coming back, they all hurriedly stepped forward to salute her, with a respectful and polite attitude.
Minglan's eyes swept over them, and he smiled faintly, "It's all here?"
Several stewards nodded, and they were all there.
Minglan said, "Come in." ”
Minglan saw them in the flower hall, after a few stewards entered the house, their expressions were not as calm as before in the courtyard, and the mother of the big kitchen steward said, "Are we hindering the princess from recuperating her body, before Cheng's mother left, she told us that when she was not there, let the house be a little messy, the princess has not learned to take the housekeeper, and the prince has a reason to take the princess back to the house, a few of us felt reasonable, so we did it, I didn't expect the princess to lose too much blood ......." ”
Sydney was stunned when she heard it, and thought that these housekeepers were bought by the second wife and deliberately made trouble, but she didn't expect that it was Cheng's mother who ordered her to help the prince, she just misunderstood them, and before coming in, she glared at them several times.
Because she wronged others, Sydney was embarrassed to look at a few housekeepers.
Minglan sat aside, sipping tea lightly, and when she heard this, a sneer hooked up at the corner of her mouth, which was covered by the smell of tea.
Cheng's mother is dead, everything they do can be pushed on Cheng's mother, and a dead person can escape punishment by letting a dead person take the blame.
Minglan put down the teacup and said, "Before Cheng's mother left the house, she told you so much, it seems that she expected that she would not be able to come back, she cared so much about her mother, but in the end betrayed her mother, it is really embarrassing." ”
The mother in charge was stunned and said, "Is there any misunderstanding in this?" Mother Cheng is loyal to the princess, it doesn't look like she will betray the princess." ”
Minglan's delicate lips hooked slightly, and a clear smile bloomed, "It's really not like it, but there is a saying that knows people and knows their faces, but they don't know their hearts, who knows if people who are respectful on the face have already been bribed in private? Even the old man who has served the princess for decades has betrayed the princess, no wonder the princess is disheartened with the palace and is unwilling to come back." ”
Her cold eyes swept over the bodies of several stewards, the backs of several stewards were cold, their faces turned a little whiter, and they knelt down with a flutter and expressed their loyalty to Minglan.
They have no two hearts for the princess, and they are loyal, and the sun and the moon can be seen.
Sydney was on the side, looked back, and said, "This oath can't be made indiscriminately, there are gods in the three feet of the head, before Cheng's mother said to the princess that if she had two hearts, she would be killed by a living rod, but she didn't expect it to be true." ”
A few stewards can't wait to strangle Sydney, she's a maid, does she have a part to speak?!
Minglan let them kneel on the ground and said, "People go to a high place, the mother concubine and the father and the king have left the Chu family, I am a little princess, naturally not as important as those elders in the house, and even how many people are not optimistic about me, secretly guessing behind my back, maybe one day I will annoy your princess, and leave the house."
Looking for a backer, it is natural to find a stable and reliable person, which I can understand, but I, like my mother, am tired of those who step on two boats, have selfish intentions, sell the lord for glory, and are full of loyalty, who can go to the knife mountain and go down the oil pot for me, Cheng's mother has served the princess for decades, and she has been found out, has the princess ever shown mercy?"
