Chapter 469: Implicated
As long as the reputation of the Ruicheng Mansion is not implicated, the Ruicheng Mansion will not care about Xiuwen's life or death.
The water spilled by the daughter who got married, anyway, Xiuwen is not Mu Shi's biological son, Rui Cheng Wang is a big man, his mind is not so detailed, and it is easy to hide something from him.
And the Yang family wanted to marry Xiuwen at the beginning, but they were just aiming for the title of county lord, and they didn't expect such a big scandal before.
Later, when I faintly heard that Xiuwen could coax the Yang family, the Mu family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were quite surprised, but thinking that Xiuwen was arrogant, he was not a fool in the end, and it was useless to know that it was useless to make trouble, it was better to honestly coax the Yang family, the son of the Yang family was stupid, but the Yang family also had a wealth in the end, compared to the Qinmeng clan or going to the nunnery to die old, it was really much better.
Hearing the news of Xiuwen's pregnancy at first glance, after being surprised, Mu Shi reacted first and hurriedly asked, "Did Xiuwen ask someone to come back and send some things a few days ago?"
"It seems like there's something going on. Tang thought about it seriously, nodded, and ate a little bit, which is equivalent to the human relations of various provinces, and there are all kinds of New Year's holidays, and she doesn't care, anyway, she doesn't eat the things sent by Xiuwen, the dead girl, and she doesn't use them, and the food will be rewarded to the next person, and the ones used will be thrown in the warehouse.
Mu Shi said: "I'll check later, I have served Xiuwen before, but I haven't followed those who have married in the past to see if anyone has contacted Ning Ya'er." β
"Mother-in-law, do you doubt Xiuwen?" Tang's eyes widened, thinking it was unlikely.
"I didn't suspect anyone, just be cautious. "For Tong's sluggishness. Mu sighed a little, when he chose his daughter-in-law. felt that he was too shrewd and capable, and his son couldn't hold it down. And the house is already a mess, and I don't want a daughter-in-law who has too many eyes.
Even if it is Tang's, it doesn't mean that Tang's is stupid, but after all, it's still a little worse, it's just that there is no tricky thing, as soon as you encounter a problem, this IQ defect will come out, and everything is always not perfect.
Their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law don't say hostile, just habitual. When Mu Shi spoke, he left room for it, and he would not tell Tang Shi directly, suspecting that Xiuwen, a concubine, was uneasy and kind, and assassinated Ruicheng Wangfu and something like that.
Tang only thought it was unlikely, but her mother-in-law had spoken, so she naturally wanted to investigate, but she thought about it and said, "Mother-in-law." Wouldn't it be better to ask Ning Ya'er directly? This Ning Ya'er doesn't look like she is tight-lipped, and she should be able to ask it. β
"Do you think it is credible to say it directly from Ning Ya'er's mouth?" Mu Shi asked rhetorically.
Tang couldn't answer, as he said on weekdays. These hook-up vixens don't have a word of truth in their mouths, so they naturally can't be believed. It's just that at this juncture, this vixen doesn't dare to talk nonsense.
Mu Shi said lightly: "Even Ning Ya'er doesn't dare to deceive people." Who can guarantee that she has not been deceived? The person who instigated Ning Ya'er to make trouble in front of the Dingwang Mansion was obviously uneasy and kind. Naturally, he could have thought that he would be held accountable after the matter was revealed, could this person tell the truth?"
Tang couldn't answer, and only said after a while: "But, Xiuwen's death...... She has no words or hatred with Ning Ya'er, and she can't get along with a concubine. β
"Xiuwen has no grudge against Ning Ya'er, but she has a grudge against Princess Ding. "Mu Shi only feels that his spirit is not as good as before, and the Ruicheng Palace's mansion will be handed over to Tang's hands sooner or later, so he is impatient, and he can only teach Tang Shi hand in hand, hoping that it will be too late.
"Xiuwen and Princess Ding?" Tang said cautiously, "Mother-in-law, what kind of grudge can the two of them have?"
Mu Shi pondered for a while, she knew the real reason, that is, the girl Huaichun, who liked the prince of Ding, and Xiuwen had hinted at King Ruicheng before, hoping that the two mansions would marry or something, but he was reprimanded by King Ruicheng.
If the two mansions of them are married, they are both royal mansions, and if they form a family directly, they will be jealous of the saints, even if they are not too close on weekdays, this thing will not work out anyway.
No matter how arrogant Xiuwen is, he still knows some big things, and he doesn't dare to make trouble.
It's just that when I went to another house to go to the banquet, I met a girl who might become the princess of Ding, make it difficult, and make the other party a little ugly, when the king of Ding had not settled down with Miss Meng's family, she went through a few girls who were said to want to marry with the Dingwang Mansion, and let the other party suffer some secret losses, and no one paid attention to it, even if it was sometimes too much, how could those lower than Ruicheng Wangfu dare to come to the door to complain, and they could only suffer a dumb loss.
She knows these little things, and she doesn't care about them, and these things will only be retributed to Xiuwen when the time comes, these girls who have been rectified by her may marry into the high gate one day, or more than ten years later, the inconspicuous people will become prominent now, and when the time comes, it will only be Xiuwen himself who suffers.
Retribution came quickly, and that time Xiuwen arrived at Miss Meng's family, and the second Miss Meng's family became Princess Ding soon after, and her status was much higher than Xiuwen's.
It didn't take long for rumors that Xiuwen would be used as a marriage partner and marry into the Meng clan.
With the Meng clan and relatives, King Ding has always been directly involved, many things are made after consulting with King Ding, although there is no evidence that Xiuwen and Qin are King Ding's mention, but King Ding must be in favor.
Xiuwen just wanted to calculate the princess in the front, and she was going to be kissed later, if it was just a coincidence, she wouldn't believe anything.
These words in my heart, Mu Shi did not tell Tang Shi, there are some unevidenced speculations, it is good to know by yourself, and if one more person knows, there will be more danger of leakage, and this is how it is passed on to ten, so she only avoided the important and said lightly: "I don't know the specifics, it may be that when I went to another house for a banquet before, I encountered it, there was a suspicion, Xiuwen was spoiled by your father-in-law, and she has a strong sense of revenge, and a little suspicion can be magnified, I don't know how thick the sky is, and now she is not doing well, and when she sees that others are doing well, she may not be balanced in her heart." β
Just because of a little dirty, he racked his brains to calculate others? Tang Shi was still a little incomprehensible, so he didn't dare to say more, so he went to check the people who served Xiuwen in the past as Mu Shi said.
Mu Shi sat for a while, thinking about it, he was still not at ease, and asked people to invite King Ruicheng.
Children don't grow. King Ruicheng has aged a lot during this time, and he is getting older. He wasn't interested in those feasts or anything like that. I can't drink too much alcohol, and recently I have been focusing on health preservation, and I only practice calligraphy in the study in my spare time.
As soon as the maid beside Mu came to invite, he put down his pen and couldn't help sighing.
When I am older, I don't have a caring person around me, but it is easy to think of Mu's thoughtfulness and understanding when I was young, and Mu's when I was young. In addition to his mediocre appearance, he knew everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and his talent was the best among the women he had ever seen.
But when I was young, I didn't feel anything, I would rather hug those singers and dancers who had empty skins to drink and have fun, and snub the good wife, and now that I am old, those warblers and Yanyan have become a passing cloud, and I only think of Mu's good when I am lonely.
wanted to get close to Mushi, but Mushi didn't give him another chance. The attitude is very cold, refusing to let people go thousands of miles away, and he has no choice but to hide in the study every day to practice calligraphy.
Based on past experience. Mu took the initiative to invite, and it must have been something happening in the mansion, probably in the courtyard of the youngest son.
It's not that he doesn't know that the relationship between Mu's mother and son and his youngest son is in the same situation. The best way is to let the youngest son move out of the Ruicheng Palace, so as not to get deeper and deeper into the dislike between them. I am afraid that my youngest son will suffer hardship, so I can subsidize more silver taels. When the family was separated in advance.
But when his youngest son was ill, he couldn't give up his mind again.
Now as soon as Mu Shi came to invite, he had a headache, for fear that something would happen again, but he was afraid that he couldn't delay.
followed the little maid to Mu's courtyard, and Mu's was sitting on a chair waiting for him with a solemn face.
Rui Chengwang's heart couldn't help but sink, this time he said that the matter was very strict, he couldn't help but squeeze out a smiling face, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Mu Shi calmly faced and told King SΓΉ Ruicheng what happened today.
When King Rui Cheng heard this, as he expected, it was the basket poked out of the yard of his youngest son, but he felt that Mu Shi was making a little fuss, wasn't it just an aunt who caused trouble? β
"Lord Wang, do you think this matter is a trivial matter?" asked Mu Shi with a cold face.
Rui Cheng Wang said in his heart, an aunt, can it be a big deal, but he still said, "It's not a trivial matter, let people give a generous gift to the palace later, make amends, and think that the princess will not care about these little things." β
"And only you men think it's a trivial matter. Mu Shi said flatly, "The reason why I made a big deal and asked people to find Ning Ya'er back at the door in the name of Ruicheng Wangfu is that I don't want this matter to affect the reputation of Dingwangfu, otherwise, this Ning Ya'er, a young woman, is crying so much at the door of people's houses, she wants to die or live, and she doesn't know that she thinks that Dingwangfu has done something sorry for her." β
"That's not going to be. King Ruicheng was a little weak when he spoke, but he felt that there were some romantic affairs, speaking of which, he still complained a little about Lian Yufeng, why did he send Ning Ya'er to King Ruicheng's mansion?
Although the third daughter-in-law Ning is at fault in this matter, but Ning is young after all, and even Yufeng is in such a high position, why should he be like a woman, in addition, with a man's mentality, he doesn't believe that the famous Lian Yufeng is facing such a flower-like beauty as Ning Ya'er, and he really hasn't been moved at all, but because of his newly married princess, he doesn't dare to do too much.
Mu Shi saw that King Ruicheng was not the same thing, and said coldly: "Lord, husband and wife, the matter of Ruicheng Wangfu is your business and mine, think about it, the recent events in Yancheng are related to Dingwangfu, and those who have offended Dingwangfu have a good end?"
"There are political discords in this court, and some things are inevitable. "King Ruicheng is a little supportive, to put it bluntly, that is, even Yufeng likes to eradicate dissidents, which is nothing new, in his position, many people are like this, but even Yufeng is not so stingy that he will take revenge on others because of a little dirty among women.
Mu Shi sneered: "Lord, what kind of person this Lian Yufeng is, I don't know very well, I haven't seen his princess, but sometimes judging a person is not something that can be judged by seeing one or two faces, you have to judge what happened around her, think about it, after Lian Yufeng got engaged to this Mengshi, which one of the things that happened to the people around them was good?"
King Ruicheng thought for a while, "This princess's father, because of the marriage between the two families, was robbed of military power, but now he has also risen up and handled a big case.
"This is the big case. Mu Shi said, "I am an inner house woman, even if I don't go out, I know how many people have been offended by this matter, and the current Meng family can be said to be on the cusp, and it is just a temporary glory, and I don't know how many people want to take revenge." β
"This climbs to a certain high position, that's it, there is no Meng family, there will be other families. King Rui Cheng still doesn't think so, if you want to be safe, it is better to resign and become a squire of the peace.
Mu Shi said: "The Meng family recently died a son, I heard that the death is unknown, I don't know anything else, I only know that Princess Ding is a concubine, as soon as she returns to the city, she can marry the young and powerful Ding Wangye, and she is in charge of the entire Dingwang Mansion after passing the door, and most of the beauties who are raised by Dingwang in the backyard are driven away, and the backyard is the only favorite, what kind of person is the Dingwang even Yufeng? Ordinary women can charm him? I heard people, although this Dingwang is not ugly, but it has not reached the point of captivating the country and the city, why did she charm Dingwang?"
"Who knows this, maybe even Yufeng himself wants to settle down?" King Rui Cheng thought of himself, if he had understood earlier, maybe in the early years, he would not have made so many warblers and Yanyan, so that he was so cold to the Mu family.
"Maybe, but Princess Ding must be a not simple person. When Mu Shi said this, he felt that he seemed to have said too much, and said, "Ning Ya'er went to make trouble in front of the Dingwang Mansion, she must have been instructed by someone, and now I suspect that the person who instructed her is your precious daughter Xiuwen." β
"Xiuwen, this can't be, Xiuwen has married into the Yang family and hasn't come back recently. King Rui Cheng said, sighing, "You don't have to think too much, complicate things, the matter in the third room, I know you are very upset, in this way, in a few days, I will let the third child and them move out, and let them make trouble in the future." β
"Lord, I told you everything, lest when something happens, you think I didn't tell you in advance. Mu Shi's expression was solemn, "I think that if Xiuwen really does something behind her back, she will kill herself, and I hope not to implicate my Ruicheng Palace." (To be continued......)
