Chapter 567: Striking the Grass and Startling the Snake

Anti-theft chapter, change later.

Hearing such sophistry from Princess Guojun, Old Concubine Xue didn't know whether to laugh or get angry.

I really wonder if this daughter-in-law has taken the wrong medicine recently, she is quite shrewd on weekdays, why is she so confused recently? No matter how discordant you are, you are still your mother's family, how can you allow outsiders to calculate at will?

This can be seen from the fact that Princess Guojun wanted to instigate the Li family to marry the Meng family, so that the Guojun Royal Mansion could get some benefits, but it was calculated by others.

I want to calculate others, but I am calculated by others, and I don't learn a lesson, and I want to take advantage of it and I don't want to pay the price.

Speaking of which, on weekdays, I underestimated the princess of Guojun, the marrying grandmother, and even inquired about such things.

Just as he was about to reprimand Princess Guojun again, he saw Mother Xin hurriedly come in and whispered a few words in Old Concubine Xue's ear, and Old Concubine Xue's face suddenly changed.

Princess Guojun's eyelids jumped, she didn't know what was going on, and she didn't dare to ask.

At this time, Old Concubine Xue opened her mouth and said, "What happened to your dowry grandmother's family?" ”

"What's going on?" Princess Guojun was shocked, and she didn't care about saying honorifics, she knew that the news of the old grandmother was heard by her nephew.

The old grandmother's family was released from the house at an early age, and her nephew knew some people from all walks of life outside, so he was very well-informed, and he could often inquire about some things that others couldn't inquire.

Old Concubine Xue glanced at Princess Guojun. said lightly: "It's not a big deal, it's just that the water has gone out, and the whole family of more than ten people has been burned to death."

"Ahh Princess Guojun couldn't help but exclaim, more than a dozen people were burned to death like that, it was so miserable, she couldn't help muttering, "How can this be?" ”

"Isn't that weird?" Old Concubine Xue sneered, "I've been inquiring about other people's secrets all day long, and I know things that shouldn't be known. What can you hope for? You have to know what he inquired about. The people involved are not ordinary people, either powerful or three-minded, in short, they are not easy to mess with, what good end do you expect? ”

Princess Guojun was scared. But he still said, "Maybe it was an accident." It's dry. I heard that there have been fires in the city recently. ”

"Do you have grass in your head?" Old Concubine Xue scolded a saying in the market, "Use your brain to think about it, more than a dozen people will definitely not be crowded into one room." There are several people in a few rooms, several strong men, even if it is night, if the fire is going to burn, it will be burned one room after another, and it will not spread all at once, there will always be people who are burned and screaming, how can you throw a chicken into the fire and still flutter a few times, how can none of them escape? It is clear that he was killed by men. ”

Princess Guojun still said stiffly: "Even so, it doesn't have to be caused by this." ”

"Well, since you think so, go back, when I didn't say it." Old Concubine Xue said, "Be careful when you sleep at night, especially the candle flame should be extinguished, lest there be a fire in your house that day." ”

"No, it won't, right?" Princess Guojun became even more afraid, this is Princess Guojun, there are countless guards in the mansion, how can there be thieves who can break in.

Old Concubine Xue stopped talking, only looked at Princess Guojun quietly, as if she was smiling, and then took out a peace charm and threw it to Princess Guojun.

Princess Guojun took it and saw that it was the peace charm she asked for in the temple, which had always been kept close to her, how could it be in the hands of Old Concubine Xue? Thinking of this, she hurriedly took out the sachet she had put in the peace charm and opened it, only to find that it was just a white paper the size of the peace charm, and she couldn't help but be surprised: "Old lady, what's going on?" ”

Old Concubine Xue said expressionlessly: "You don't have to know this, you just need to know that since I can quietly get your personal things, others can also get them, maybe one day, this sachet will not contain paper, but a poisonous snake." ”

Princess Guojun's face was full of horror.

Old Concubine Xue said: "After all, you are young, although you are from everyone, but you still have some knowledge, there are countless people under the hands of people who really cover the sky with one hand, and it is easy for some people to kill a person quietly, and sometimes you may not know what is going on when you die." I don't even know who did it. ”

"There are so many guards in the house, are they all puppets and mud tires?" Princess Guojun became frightened.

Old Concubine Xue said: "There are people outside the world, there is a sky outside the sky, you stay in the small world of Guojun Wangfu all day long, you think you are smart and amazing, but you don't know what the outside world is like, I have lived to this age, and I have seen more means." ”

"I ...... What should I do? Princess Guojun shuddered.

"You know you're scared now?" Old Concubine Xue glanced at her and sighed, "How many times have I warned you, some people can't be provoked, don't listen, see what happens now?" Not to mention that you are an ignorant woman in the inner house, even if it is the Dajing Mission that your man went to greet, so many expert guards, are they not hundreds of times stronger than the guards in our mansion? It turned out that it didn't say that something would happen, and the distance that could be reached in a month took several months to arrive, and there was a plague, so you really thought it was an accident? ”

"This gangster attack on the mission is naturally not an accident, there have always been people who want to destroy the relationship between Da Zhou and Da Jing." Princess Guojun still knows a little about the situation between the DPRK and China.

"It's not that simple." When Old Concubine Xue said this, she suddenly closed her mouth, and said after a while, "Forget it, I don't want to say too much, lest you leak your mouth, but let my old bones cause trouble." ”

Princess Guojun listened to Mrs. Xue's words but didn't continue, and she suddenly felt a little itchy and unbearable, but she didn't dare to urge Mrs. Xue, so she only said in a low voice: "Old lady, please show your daughter-in-law a way." ”

Old Concubine Xue paused for a long time, and let Princess Guojun wait anxiously before saying: "If you still want to listen to me now, don't do stupid things anymore, otherwise I will move to the small Buddha hall to live, whatever you want, don't discuss with me if something happens."

"No, no. Ask the old lady to save her daughter-in-law. Princess Guojun was completely frightened, her face turned pale, and she begged repeatedly.

"I'm an old woman who is about to go to the ground, how can I save you?" Old Concubine Xue sighed, "What I can do is to give you a little advice, don't play these calculating people's cleverness anymore, smart is mistaken by cleverness, do less and make fewer mistakes." ”

"But what do I do now?" Princess Guojun felt cold all over her body when she thought that more than ten members of the old grandmother's family were burned alive.

"You don't hurt anyone, and people don't bother to work you, killing people is not as simple as killing a chicken. People who do big things. will not be like some cautious women, do things that harm others and themselves. There was indescribable sarcasm in Old Concubine Xue's words.

Princess Guojun was suddenly ashamed and embarrassed, but recently in front of Old Concubine Xue, she has always been like this. I'm used to it.

At this time, Xin's mother came in again. It was said that Mrs. Meng was visiting.

Princess Guojun was shocked again. She had a ghost in her heart, and she was immediately worried that Mrs. Meng had heard something and came to the door to ask the teacher for her guilt.

I want to find an excuse to avoid it. Old Concubine Xue guessed what she was thinking, and said lightly: "If people have doubts, if you don't see them, won't you confess yourself?" Let's see and listen to what Madame Meng has to say, it doesn't have to be for the little thing you did, besides, you just have an idea, you haven't put it into action, as long as you don't admit it, who can do what? ”

Princess Guojun thought about it, so she ordered the maid to invite Mrs. Meng to the flower hall to serve tea, and she arrived later.

After changing her clothes and rearranging her makeup, Princess Guojun came out to see Mrs. Meng, and it was inevitable that it would be a little late, which made Mrs. Meng wait for a long time.

As a noble lady with a strict etiquette education, Princess Guojun first compensated Mrs. Meng as soon as she came out, "I'm really sorry to keep Mrs. Meng waiting, there was something wrong with me, I delayed, please forgive Mrs. Meng." ”

"It doesn't matter, I just happened to admire the decorations of the flower hall of the county king's mansion." Mrs. Meng said with a smile, "Princess Jiuwenguo is the daughter of everyone, and the furnishings of this flower hall are really unusual and unique, especially the few calligraphy and paintings on the wall, which are the works of several famous artists in this dynasty." ”

"Madame Meng is wrong." Princess Guojun was modest, "This painting is the preference of our county prince, and it is also for everyone to give face, if Mrs. likes it, pick one back later." ”

Madame Meng waved her hand, "How can this be done?" After all, it is the favorite of the prince of the county, besides, our Meng family was originally a family of military generals, and we don't understand these, calligraphy and paintings are hung in our house, which is equivalent to a pearl covered with dust. ”

"These calligraphy and paintings are for people to appreciate, our county prince likes calligraphy and painting, and he also likes to give them to those who appreciate them." Princess Guojun had the intention of making up for her previous mistakes, and tried her best to persuade Mrs. Meng to accept the calligraphy and painting.

Mrs. Meng excused herself a few times, but she was still disrespectful, and then said, "By the way, why didn't you see Lewen?" How are you doing? ”

"Oh, she's gone to her uncle's house, and her cousin is about to leave the cabinet and go over and get together." Princess Guojun replied with a smile, in fact, Lewen was in a bad mood and went to her uncle's house to stay for a few days.

"That's unfortunate, I also said that I hadn't seen Lewen for a few days." Mrs. Meng said, a little regretful.

"Yes, I knew that Madame was coming, so I would have brought Lewen back as soon as possible." Princess Guojun said politely.

"I don't know if it's Lewen's cousin who came out of the cabinet and who she married......" Mrs. Meng asked casually.

Princess Guojun answered them one by one, gossiping, and felt a little more relaxed, according to the meaning of the topic, Mrs. Meng didn't seem to be here to ask about the guilt, so it was good, but she was a little puzzled about the purpose of Mrs. Meng's trip.

The two of them are future in-laws, and it is nothing if they talk about going together, but she and Mrs. Meng are not all the way, and it is difficult to talk about going together, so Mrs. Meng will not come if she has nothing to do.

After asking about Le Wen's cousin, Mrs. Meng suddenly sighed, changed the topic, and said, "Our master has recently fallen and injured himself, otherwise he should have come to visit in person." ”

"What's wrong with this old man's injury? I heard it's serious? I also said that I would visit me in person in two days. "Princess Guojun sent someone to visit after Meng Ye fell and was injured, but after all, she was dissatisfied with the Meng family, and King Guojun was not in the house at this time, so she did not come to the door in person.

"The injury is quite serious, and the doctor said that he would recuperate for a while." Madame Meng said and wiped the corners of her eyes.

"Madame don't have to worry too much, Jiren has his own natural appearance, and Master Meng will definitely be fine." Princess Guojun comforted, but she was a little disdainful in her heart, who doesn't know now, this Meng is also completely paralyzed, and Mrs. Meng still avoids the importance and says that she can recuperate for a while, and she will cultivate for a lifetime.

"Princess Chengjun Jiyan, I hope so." Mrs. Meng said, wiped the corners of her eyes again, and forced a smile on her face, "Speaking of which, there is something that I am really embarrassed to say, but I must mention it, I hope that the princess of the county can be fulfilled." ”

"Madame has something to say, you and I are about to be in-laws, what can't you say?" Princess Guojun knew that Mrs. Meng must have come to the door for something, not to ask the teacher for the crime, in order to cover up the previous incident, she planned to agree as long as Mrs. Meng's request was not too outrageous.

Mrs. Meng said: "That's the case, our lord was injured, so the whole family plans to take him back to his hometown to recuperate, originally the prince of the county is not in the mansion, we shouldn't mention this matter at this time, but the hometown is some distance from Yancheng, I don't know when I will be able to come back...... I thought, should I let Lewen pass the door quickly and go back to his hometown to worship his ancestors together? ”

"This ...... It's a little hasty, and our county prince is not here...... Besides, our two families are both families with heads and faces, and family affairs can't be too hasty. Princess Guojun didn't know how to refuse for a while, she was not happy with this family affair, and now she wanted to say that she had to marry her daughter in a hurry and follow the Meng family to other places, she was even more unwilling.

Mrs. Meng said: "Isn't this a matter of urgency? Our lord is like this, no one would have imagined that this time he will recuperate in his hometown, at least two or three years, if he doesn't do family affairs at this time, I'm afraid it will be delayed. ”

In this way, Princess Guojun hesitated a little, and what Mrs. Meng said also made sense, if she didn't marry Le Wen at this time, the whole Meng family would go back to her hometown, and come back in two or three years, Le Wen would become an old girl, and Meng Guang was a young man, with strong blood and strength, and it was when there was a need for someone around him, so if she didn't marry her daughter at this time, if the Meng family accepted any concubines for their son, they would have to get an eldest son out.

For a while, Princess Guojun was in a dilemma, and she didn't know how to reply.

At this time, a maid came and whispered a few words in the ear of Princess Guojun.

Princess Guojun's face suddenly changed again, and she hurriedly said to Mrs. Meng: "Please sit down for a while, and I will come when I go." ”

"Okay, I happened to know that something big must have happened, and I didn't want to ask, so I found a step for the other party to go down. (To be continued......)
