In the Ruyi courtyard, Yuchen put a piece of sandalwood into the three-legged flower gilt copper tire cloisonné enamel smoker. The aroma of sandalwood is fragrant and elegant, and it is most liked by Yuchen.

Mama Gui walked in from outside and said in a bit of a panic: "Niangniang, it's not good, the fifth young master is infected with the epidemic." "At this time, the epidemic will be contagious, and the prince and the lord are still in the mansion!

Yuchen's face changed slightly, but he quickly calmed down and said, "What did the prince say? "I believe that the prince will deal with this matter.

Mama Gui said: "The prince moved the fifth young master out of the mansion and asked Mrs. Xiang to follow to take care of the fifth young master." ”

Yuchen handed the box containing sandalwood to the maid beside him, wiped his hands and said, "Why did the fifth young master be infected with the epidemic when he was so good, there must be a reason for this?" "I just don't know who did it.

Mama Gui shook her head and said, "I heard that the prince has sent someone to investigate thoroughly, I don't know who is behind this scene?" ”

Yuchen said lightly: "This person is also crazy, he actually poisoned such a young child, I hope the prince can find her out as soon as possible." "Leaving such a person in the backyard, she is not at ease. After all, no one dares to guarantee that this person's next target will be Ah Chi and Ah Bao.

An hour later, the chief butler arrived at Ruyi Courtyard and took Yuchen's maid Xue away.

Mama Gui was a little flustered and said, "Niangniang, the fifth young master's nurse confessed that Shi Xue gave her a small sachet and asked her to wear the sachet on the fifth young master. The Imperial Physician had confirmed that there was dirt in the sachet. It was only when the fifth young master wore that sachet that he was infected with the epidemic. ”

Yuchen was not flustered, and said lightly: "Such a method is too clumsy. ”

Not long after, Yan Wushuang came over. Looking at Yuchen, who was as calm as water, Yan Wushuang said: "Shi Xue has already confessed, and that sachet is the nurse you asked her to hand over to Xiao Wu." Han Yuchen, what else do you have to say? ”

Yuchen looked up at Yan Wushuang and said, "Lord Wang, I have nothing to say, because I haven't done it." ”

Yan Wushuang said coldly: "Then you come up with evidence to prove your innocence." ”

Yuchen himself is in charge of the harem, and he is very familiar with this kind of intrigue and selfishness that frames each other: "The prince only needs to find out who has been infected with the epidemic recently, and who has been in contact with their family, and he can catch the mastermind behind the scenes." After a pause, Yuchen said again: "Shi Xue has only been by my side for more than five years, if I really want to assassinate the fifth young master, it is impossible to leave such a secret thing to her to do." "This kind of thing cannot be entrusted to unless you are a die-hard loyalist.

Yan Wushuang said: "It seems that I should have left the affairs of the backyard to you earlier." Naturally, he didn't believe Shi Xue's words. Although he dotes on Xiao Wu, it will not affect Ah Chi's status. Of course, the most important thing is that the people he installed in Ruyi Courtyard did not find anything unusual between Han Yuchen and Mama Gui during this time.

Yuchen's heart trembled, and he lowered his head and said, "Master, I haven't been in charge of general affairs for a long time, I'm afraid I can't do it." "The chores are complicated and trivial, and she doesn't want to get involved at all.

Yan Wushuang said lightly: "Han Yuchen, the ministry has re-selected two candidates. As for who will be the last, you can decide. ”

Yuchen's heart tightened, Yan Wushuang was making a deal with her. If she doesn't agree, Yan'er will not be allowed to interfere in Yan'er's marriage. After half a ring, Yuchen said in a low voice: "The concubine will take care of the affairs of the inner courtyard." ”

Yan Wushuang said, "I hope I won't hear about this nonsense in the future. He felt that Yuchen had this ability, so he let it go of her.

Yuchen said calmly: "Lord Wang, I can only do my best, and the rest cannot be guaranteed." "She doesn't have that much ability to make sure there are no accidents in the backyard. After all, backyard methods are endless, and people can't guard against them.

Yan Wushuang hummed and left. As for Shi Xue, whether he was dead or alive Yuchen didn't ask. For this kind of traitorous minion, even if Yan Wushuang doesn't deal with it, she can't tolerate it.

Mama Gui knew that Yuchen had taken over the chores, and she was very happy: "Niangniang, you should have agreed a long time ago." "With rights, you have the opportunity to do something else.

Yuchen glanced at Mama Gui and said, "Mama, I'm just helping the prince manage the affairs of the back house." Others, you can't think about it, you can't do it. "She wouldn't use this to get rid of other women who threatened her, let alone those children. Once discovered by Yan Wushuang, Yan Wangfu no longer had a place for her. If she falls, she won't be able to protect Po and Chi.

Mama Gui said: "Niangniang, the old slave's greatest wish now is to watch the prince and the lord grow up peacefully and healthily. "Give her ten guts, she won't dare to do anything in the backyard, even if she is secret, she will be caught. Just like this time when the fifth young master was infected with the epidemic, she believed that the mastermind behind the scenes would not be able to escape.

As Mama Gui thought, the mastermind behind the scenes was quickly found out by Yan Wushuang, it was Xiao Yu's family. This result surprised everyone very much, because Xiao Yu has a gentle temperament, never makes enemies with others, and does not compete for favor, and is very popular in the palace. At least it's much better than Yuchen.

Yuchen knew this result, and just said lightly: "A dog that can't bark will bite." Although Xiao Yu behaved harmlessly, and had always behaved as if he wanted to be close to her, Yuchen had always avoided her. She won't hurt anyone, but she won't give others the opportunity to harm her.

Yuchen took over the general affairs, and Yan Wushuang also fulfilled his promise and handed over the information on the selection of two girls by the Ministry of Rites to Yuchen.

One of these two girls is Jiang Fei'er, the eldest daughter of the third room of the Pingqing Marquis Mansion, and the other is Liang Wan, the second daughter of the Guozi's sacrificial wine. Both girls meet Yuchen's requirements, and they are knowledgeable and sensible.

After reading the information, Yuchen is inclined to Liang Wan, after all, the concubine is naturally shorter than the concubine. However, Yuchen didn't make up his mind immediately, but asked people to inquire again.

There is power in the hand to do things, and the people below will have a reply in less than two days. However, the information found by the people below is not as detailed as Yan Wushuang.

In the end, Yuchen chose Liang Wan. It didn't take long for the results to be announced.

Hearing that the queen candidate was replaced, Yurong was a little surprised: "Didn't you say that at the end of last year, you chose the second daughter of Lord Xia of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Officials as the queen, why is it now replaced by a girl from the Liang family?" "Ordinary people don't want to exchange their relatives for each other, and they don't know how people in the court and the central government do things.

Honghua shook her head and said: "The slave maid also heard from the mother-in-law in the house, and the details are not clear. ”

Yurong was also a little surprised, and did not have the heart to get to the bottom of it: "The affairs of the heavenly family, how can we ordinary people guess it." ”

Putting this matter aside, Yurong lowered her head and made spring clothes for her son again. Now Yurong's mind is on his son. Concerned about the outside affairs, the main thing is to worry about the chaos and want to take precautions in advance.

Not long after, Ah Tao, a henchman beside the Lu family, came over to ask Yurong to come over, saying that the Lu family had something to tell her.

Yurong got along well with the Lu family, and when she heard this, she immediately put down her needle and thread and followed Ah Tao to the main courtyard.

When she arrived at the main courtyard and saw that Mrs. Lu was also there, Yurong's face changed slightly. However, for the sake of Lu's face, Yurong still greeted Mrs. Lu very politely.

After sitting down, Yurong asked straight to the point: "Sister-in-law, I don't know what you are looking for me for?" ”

Lu Yao was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to speak. Mrs. Lu didn't have these scruples, and said with a smile: "This woman, you can't do it without a man who knows cold and heat." My family Heng'er is the same age as you, and she is suitable in all aspects. If you marry Heng'er, I will treat you like a daughter. "Mrs. Lu said that Heng'er is her third son. When the Lu family had an accident, his wife died, and there were four children born under his knees. After the defeat of the Lu family, he did not remarry. This person is not a gentleman, but he has no talent, simply put, he is a mediocre person.

Yurong was so angry that her eyes were on fire, if she wanted to remarry, she would remarry when Jiang Hongjin died, and she would have to wait for today. Yurong stood up and looked at Lu Yao and said, "Sister-in-law, if you can't tolerate me, just say it, why humiliate me in such a way?" Don't worry, I'll take Brother Zheng'er away now, and it won't get in your way. After saying that, he left angrily.

Lu Yao couldn't stop Yurong, turned her head and said angrily: "Mother, didn't I just say that you have to take your time and be in a hurry. ”

Old Lady Lu snorted coldly and said, "If it weren't for her rich dowry, I wouldn't want Heng'er to marry her!" "A thirty-year-old widow really thinks she is a sweetheart.

Yurong was not joking when she said that she was going to move away, and when she returned to the yard, she asked the maid next to her to pack her things.

When Han Jiancheng came back from outside, he heard that Yurong was going to move out. Han Jiancheng asked Lu Yao: "What's wrong?" Since returning to her parents' house, Yurong has been very polite to Lu Yao and has taken good care of his children.

Lu Yao said with a guilty face: "Xianggong, this is all mine." Today, my mother came over and said a few words to my sister, and my sister was so angry that she said she wanted to move out. It was also during this time that Yurong behaved too docile, so she did not refuse the suggestion made by Mrs. Lu.

In the final analysis, this is actually Lu Yao's selfishness, she knows that Yurong is rich, if Yurong can marry his younger brother, the Lu family will have help, so that she can also reduce the burden and no longer have to use the dowry to supplement her mother's family.

What Lu Yao didn't know was that in fact, Yurong just wanted to send someone under the fence, so she took a step back in everything, not that she was really that easy to talk to.

Han Jiancheng said with a gloomy face: "I know Yurong's temperament best, if your mother just said two words that she didn't like, she would definitely not think about moving away." Say, what did your mother say to Yurong? "Even the mother-in-law doesn't call anymore, it is enough to see Han Jiancheng's attitude towards the Lu family from here.

Lu Yao avoided the important and said the matter lightly.

After listening to this, Han Jiancheng glanced at Lu Yao coldly, and then turned around and left the main courtyard.

Lu Yao looked at Han Jiancheng's back, and tears couldn't help but fall: "Xianggong is resentful of me." ”

Ah Tao sighed and said angrily: "Madam, don't think about it, when your aunt and grandmother are angry, you will accompany her, say a few soft words, I think this matter will pass soon." She knew what Mrs. Lu had in mind, and how her aunt didn't know. I don't know what my wife thinks, but she will agree.

When Han Jiancheng entered the courtyard, he saw Yurong packing things with the maid. Han Jiancheng said with an ugly face: "Put everything back." ”

Yurong's anger had already subsided, and when she heard this, she waved her hand to let the maid and her mother-in-law go down, and then said, "Brother, do you know everything today?" ”

Han Jiancheng said: "I know everything. Your sister-in-law didn't do this right, you should be angry, but you can't really move out? Now it's a mess outside, where are you going to move to with Brother Zheng'er? ”

After Yurong invited Han Jiancheng to sit down, he said, "Brother, I plan to move to the house next to me, just a few steps away, if there is really something you can do according to the Buddha?" ”

Han Jiancheng refused without thinking about it: "No." Although the house is close, it is not home after all. If something really happens, you may not be able to catch up. You live at home, and you can't go anywhere. ”

Yurong lived here because she knew that the orphan and widow's detached house was easy to be bullied, otherwise she would have a house, how could she live back to her parents' house: "Brother, Mrs. Lu obviously wanted me to remarry her son because of my rich dowry." This time they didn't achieve their goal, and it was hard to guarantee that they wouldn't have other ideas, and the sister-in-law relied on Mrs. Lu for everything. Brother, it's still you who will be difficult to do when the time comes, rather than tearing your face at that time, it's better to move out now. ”

Yurong was originally very dissatisfied with Lu Yao. She has never seen such a woman, and she would rather suffer her husband and children than make up for the bottomless pit of the Lu family. But in the end, she was under the fence, and she didn't say anything no matter how dissatisfied she was. But Lu Yaoqian shouldn't have hit her with her idea.

Han Jiancheng's face was also ugly: "Don't think about it, nothing will happen." Seeing Yurong's resolute attitude, Han Jiancheng said: "You have a rich dowry, not only Mrs. Lu knows, but many people see it. If you move out with Brother Zheng and are remembered by those people, I don't know what will happen at that time. "Puff is not guilty of guilt, it is not wrong to have money, it is wrong to have no ability to keep it.

Yurong was also extremely angry just now, so he insisted on moving out. But after listening to Han Jiancheng's words, she hesitated a little: "Brother, I ......"

Han Jiancheng knew what Yurong was worried about, and said, "Don't worry, what you are worried about will not appear." "In his own family, his sister was calculated by outsiders, and he really hit a pillar and killed himself.

Yurong wiped her tears and said, "Brother, don't quarrel with your sister-in-law." I can't affect your relationship as a husband and wife. ”

Han Jiancheng said with an ugly face: "Don't worry about this." "Before, Lu Yao used the dowry to supplement his mother's family, and he kept it to himself, but this time Lu Yao touched his bottom line.

Back in the main courtyard, Han Jiancheng directly left a sentence to Lu Yao, not allowing the people of the Lu family to **** again.

Lu Yao cried and said, "Xianggong, the Lu family is my mother's family, how can you say such a thing?" "The Lu family is not allowed to ****, isn't it to let her cut off contact with her mother's family.

Han Jiancheng couldn't bear it anymore this time, and said with a cold face: "If you are really reluctant to let the Lu family give up your mother, you can go back now, I won't stop you." But when you go out, you don't have to come back. "Even if Han Jiancheng has a good temper, he would have turned his face a long time ago if he was replaced by others.

Lu Yao was stunned, what does it mean that the Lu family is reluctant to go back, this is to divorce her? Looking at Han Jiancheng, who was expressionless, Lu Yao finally knew that he was afraid.
