641, Black Hand

Seeing that the old lady's tone was not good, Zhan Shi smiled at the old lady embarrassedly, "It's all the daughter-in-law's fault, what do ......you do to mention that bad thing!"

"Okay!" the old lady stopped Zhan, "whether to mention or not to mention that everything has happened, what is fake is fake, and if you don't mention it, it won't become true!

This is an allusion to Yao Keqing's dim sum recipe for the young grandmother Du's dim sum, and mentioned that she helped Mrs. Song sell the painting, she didn't say it, but after the painting was sold, Mrs. Song got 3,000 taels of silver, but she only gave the old lady 2,000 taels, with the old lady's temperament, if she knew that the Sun family got 1,000 taels, I was afraid that she would ask the Sun family for the extra silver, so it was impossible for the Sun family to say it, so how did the old lady know about it?

The more the old lady talked, the more atmospheric it became, Yao Keqing simply lowered her eyebrows like Zhou's, let the old lady mock and mock, Zhan served tea and fanned, and after saying all the good things, the old lady finally gradually lost her anger,

Seeing that Zhou and Yao Keqing were also bored standing on the side, he sent them away angrily, "You two go back! I don't need you to serve here!"

The old lady finally let go, Zhan Shi breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly told the girl on the side, "Silk strings, slender fiber, send the two young grandmothers back!"

Silk String and Slender String answered and led the two of them out.

Out of the door of the upper room, Zhou and Yao Keqing said goodbye to each other, Silk String sent Zhou to the fourth room, and Xianxian followed Yao Keqing to the direction of the eldest princess's mansion, passing by the flowers that were almost insulted by Song Zike last time, Xianxian couldn't help but shudder, and a panicked and helpless look appeared on her face.

Yao Keqing patted her hand and comforted, "Don't be afraid! The second young master can't get out of bed now, he is fine, and the old lady is protecting you, he doesn't dare to touch you!"

Although Yao Keqing's voice was soft, it carried a calm force, and the slender helpless heart instantly relied on, touching the heavy scissors in her sleeve pocket, and the slender nodded vigorously, "The slave is not afraid!" If Song Zike dared to bully her again, she would not let him succeed even if she risked her life.

"In the future, stay away from me, you know, the old lady doesn't like me, you get close to me, the old lady is afraid that she won't like you anymore! Without the old lady to protect you, what should the second young master do if he comes to trouble you again?"

Xian Xian said guiltily, "Yesterday, the young grandmother made jade egg custard for the old lady, the old lady thought that the fishy smell was not delicious, and the fourth lady was also there at the time, so she said that the chicken method is the best osmanthus egg custard, but it is too difficult to do, and most people will not do it! Originally, it was a casual sentence from the fourth lady, but I didn't expect the old lady to take it to heart, and use this to make it difficult for you, the slave should have told you earlier, and now you won't look at Sister Yueqin's face!"

"Are you saying that the osmanthus egg custard was mentioned by the fourth lady in front of the old lady?" Yao Keqing was stunned for a moment and couldn't help asking.

Xian Xian nodded, "The fourth lady mentioned it casually, and then pointed out the practice of the young grandmother's jade egg custard, saying that adding rice wine can remove the fishy smell!"

Is Zhan really just a casual sentence? Yao Keqing doesn't think so!

Since there is the practice of filial piety to the old lady in front of the young grandmother, I am afraid that when it is my turn on the second day, I am afraid that I will also follow the precedent, Zhan does not know that the old lady does not like herself, but she still mentioned the matter of osmanthus egg custard in front of the old lady, and specially emphasized that it is difficult to do, isn't this just a ready-made way for the old lady to make things difficult for herself?

There is also the matter of selling paintings, if Sun didn't say anything, then only the people who bought the paintings would know about it......

Sure enough, Zhan is the mastermind behind the old lady's painting!

Yao Keqing told Song Ziqing about his analysis, "...... First she wanted to frame me for the transfer of the contract, and then she should have been the one who instigated the eldest lady to come to me, and now she is talking in front of the old lady, what is the fourth aunt doing so much?"

Yao Keqing often taught her younger brother that everything a person does with a purpose, but she couldn't figure out the purpose of Zhan's doing this, and she could still say that she was greedy for money when she transferred the old lady's calligraphy and paintings, but why should she blame herself? Shouldn't the theory be blamed on the eldest lady Sun? The Sun family holds the whole family of the Guogong Mansion, and if she squeezes out the Sun family, can't she just replace her? After that, she repeatedly made a stumbling block for herself in front of the old lady, what good would this do to her?

There is no distinction between the concubines in the Pingguo Mansion, the third room and the fourth room belong to the same faction, and it is reasonable to work together to advance and retreat, and face the two rooms together, although the Zhan family seems to be true on the surface, but she privately provoked the old lady's dissatisfaction with her three-room daughter-in-law, and the old lady is disgusted with herself, what can she get?

Although Song Ziqing is a man, thanks to the harsh and staggered environment of the Guogong Mansion, he has some understanding of the doorway of the inner house, so he guessed, "Maybe the third sister-in-law is not liked by the old lady, so the fourth aunt doesn't want you to be beautiful?"

"But on the day of the tea ceremony, the old lady obviously expressed her dislike for me, and I didn't need to be instigated by the fourth aunt, and I couldn't please the old lady, so why did she bother to do this? Is it just because she doesn't like me, so she doesn't want me to be good?" And on the day of the tea ceremony, she also relieved herself, she showed favor to herself on the surface, but secretly calculated herself, using such painless means, she couldn't hurt herself at all, what was there in her body worthy of her calculation?

"Hmm......" Song Ziqing couldn't figure it out, "Because I have a good relationship with the third brother, the fourth aunt has always been very close to me, and the fourth aunt is not hostile to me...... "Since this is the case, then why is she so targeted at Weiwei?"

Song Ziqing couldn't help frowning again, Yao Keqing stretched out his hand to touch his eyebrows, and half-jokingly, "People's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and her lack of hostility towards you on the surface doesn't mean anything, maybe she calculated against me because of you? She calculated just to deal with you?" It's like she kept Yao Qibin in order to restrain Yao Chongming.

"It's me who has troubled you!" Song Ziqing was as kind as a stream, grabbed the slender jade hand that was caressing between his eyebrows, and looked at the person in front of him with a smile.

Yao Keqing withdrew his hand in disgust, "Don't make trouble, I have something serious to tell you, do you know why the old lady doesn't like her mother?"
