Thinking that Mrs. Zhou might have played a game of chess that started decades ago, Su Yiqing felt shocked and couldn't help but admire it at the same time.

It takes a lot of tenacity and perseverance to start the layout in a few decades, especially at the age of Mrs. Zhou, Mrs. Cen and Mrs. Zhou in Yuanping Bofu seem to be about the same age, Mrs. Cen was not in good health as early as when she was not married, and she disappeared after two years.

People are old and old, maybe they won't be able to wake up when they lie down that day, just like that, Mrs. Zhou is still scheming like this, which is really not understandable to ordinary people.

Successful people may be like this, they can endure what ordinary people can't tolerate for a goal that may not be achieved, and they have the patience and perseverance that others don't have, and they don't consider the time and energy wasted if the goal cannot be achieved.

……

After Mrs. Quan Si went back, she didn't dare to delay, changed her clothes, and immediately rushed to Meng's house, and told Mrs. Meng the words of Princess Ding euphemistically.

Mrs. Meng actually didn't have much hope, knowing such a result, she didn't say anything, just sighed, which was what she expected.

Out of gratitude to Su Yiqing, Mrs. Quan Si thought that Mrs. Meng had a bad heart, so she couldn't help but persuade: "Sister, Princess Ding is indeed in trouble, and such a thing is not something that a woman in the back house can interfere in." ”

"I know, I just don't know how to explain to Princess Guojun. Mrs. Meng sighed again, people like Princess Guojun put down her body so much to beg her, but she couldn't do anything, and Princess Guojun didn't know how to be disappointed.

Earlier, Meng Guang provoked such an incident. Let her really feel a little sorry for the Guojun Palace, and she wants to do something to make up for it, by the way, ease the relationship between the two sides, lest Meng Guang and Miss Lewen really can't get along after they get married in the future, there is just such an opportunity, if this matter can be done, no matter how big the resentment wants to come to the Guojun Palace, it can be calmed.

Now that things can't be done, it is estimated that Princess Guojun is even more resentful in her heart.

Mrs. Quan Si also sighed, thought about it, and said, "Maybe things aren't so bad? King Guojun will be able to return safely. Maybe it's over. ”

"I hope so. Mrs. Meng can only say this, but there is actually very little hope for such a thing.

Just as he was saying this, the maid came to report. said that Mrs. Dong was here.

Madame Meng couldn't help but frown. Looks like another trouble is coming. I don't know what happened to the Dong family this time, she is really afraid of the guests coming to the house these days, and what she comes to ask for is some tricky things.

Something that surprised Mrs. Meng. After Mrs. Dong came, she didn't feel embarrassed or embarrassed to see Mrs. Quan, and she didn't seem to mind Mrs. Quan's presence.

Mrs. Quan Si is also a little sorry for Mrs. Dong, relatives, she knows that a few days ago, Princess Ding asked her to target Mrs. Dong like this, the purpose is not to let Mrs. Dong speak, ask for something that the Ding Wangfu is unwilling to help, what is specific, although in front of her, Mrs. Dong did not say it explicitly, but what she heard later, some of the situation of the Dong family, she can also guess.

Master Dong was demoted by the official so much, no wonder Mrs. Dong was in a hurry.

However, it is really difficult to set the princess, so many relatives, but whenever there are big and small things, they all want to help the princess, where can the princess help alone, if she refuses directly, she will definitely hurt the other party's face, and even be resentful.

After Mrs. Dong sat down, she chatted a few words and brought a piece of news.

The news that made Mrs. Meng and Mrs. Quan Si a little shocked, but it was just shock, and this matter had almost nothing to do with them, that is, an after-dinner conversation.

General Shao Li's wife is missing, and even a pair of children are missing, and the Shao family is so anxious that they are looking for it everywhere.

It's just that General Shao Li's wife is a female dependent, a young woman is so unreasonable, and if she says it, it will affect her reputation, and the Shao family didn't dare to look for it with great fanfare, but this news can't be hidden.

Speaking of which, Shao Li is also a relatively famous No. 1 person in Yancheng, although General Shao Li's wife doesn't go out to socialize much, but in the end, her experience is too legendary, and she is an example of the envy of women in Yancheng, so the Yancheng ladies circle is also quite curious about this General Shao's wife.

In the early years, many people ran to Shao's house intentionally or unintentionally, just to see what kind of bewitching character this prodigal son like Shao Li was.

But to everyone's disappointment, General Shao Li's wife has nothing special in terms of appearance and temperament, she has a delicate appearance and a gentle personality, just like most women in the house.

After Mrs. Meng was shocked, she couldn't help but ask Mrs. Dong: "How could such a thing happen? Did the Shao family send someone to find it?"

Mrs. Dong said: "I also heard from people, saying that two days ago, Mr. and Mrs. Shao Li had a quarrel with General Shao Li's wife, probably for money or something, in short, it was very unusual, and then I heard that General Shao Li's wife was missing, and the Shao family was naturally very anxious, such a big living person, with children, there are no particularly familiar people on weekdays, and I don't know where to go." ”

Out of sensitivity to the court situation, Mrs. Meng knew that this was by no means a simple dispute between the inner house, and that such a trivial matter as a woman running away from home with her children could involve the court.

After all, now that General Shao Li is stationed at the border pass, his wife and children are missing, which will make people feel uneasy.

Speaking of which, at the beginning, General Shao Li and King Ding almost left Yancheng on their front and back feet, and Mrs. Meng faintly heard some rumors, saying that General Shao Li went to the border pass this time to suppress King Ding, the king's balancing technique.

But at that time, everyone's eyes were on the Dingwang Mansion, and no one cared about the Shao family, especially General Shao Li's wife was such a person who stayed at home.

Mrs. Dong said: "Now the Shao family is a chicken flying and a dog jumping, so I am in a hurry, looking for it like a fly without a head, it is really a bit embarrassing to say, Mrs. Shao is really too deceitful, no wonder Mrs. Shao Li wants to run away from home with her children." ”

"Is it really a runaway?" said Mrs. Monts.

Mrs. Dong said: "Naturally, yes. I heard that since General Shao left Yancheng, this old man Shao and his wife have gone to find trouble with General Shao's wife every once in a while, how can a weak woman resist the two of them making such nonsense, and the Shao family has not been towards General Shao's wife, for a period of time, General Shao's wife has avoided living in the nunnery, but there is still a high hall, and it is not good to live in the nunnery for a long time. ”

Mrs. Meng and Mrs. Kwon Si glanced at each other, and both of them felt that things would not be so simple.

It's not a day or two for this old man and his wife to mess around, especially this old man Shao. It's just too unreasonable. I don't produce all day, and I know that I want money, relying on my younger brother.

For a while, Master Shao also hit the idea of the Meng family. I want to marry the Meng family.

Such an in-laws. Who would dare to ask for it. Mrs. Meng did not think about it at all, and unceremoniously refused, her son. Even if you can't marry a prominent in-law, even if you marry a peasant girl, you can't ask Master Shao to suck blood like this.

Mrs. Quan Si remembered that once she went to Dingwang's Mansion, Princess Ding seemed to be quite curious about this Mrs. Shao, and asked a lot about Mrs. Shao, and she deliberately inquired about it, in fact, there was no need to inquire too much, the experience of Mrs. Shao, everyone knows.

I don't know if Princess Ding is interested in knowing, it seems that she will find an opportunity to go to Dingwangfu tomorrow.

Just thinking about it, Mrs. Dong suddenly lowered her voice and said mysteriously: "I also heard a news that maybe this has nothing to do with the dispute in the inner house." ”

"What do you mean?" Madame Meng couldn't help but be curious.

Mrs. Dong wanted to speak and stopped, as if she didn't dare to say anything.

Mrs. Meng was a little impatient and said: "Don't sell it, this Shao family has nothing to do with us, our family, what else can we avoid." ”

Mrs. Dong said with some sneer: "It's not protection, this news is not completely irrelevant to us, you know, who is General Shao's biggest opponent now, as soon as General Shao's wife disappeared, naturally some villains muttered behind their backs and speculated wildly." ”

"Guess what?" Mrs. Meng could vaguely guess a little, but she still looked at Mrs. Dong and wanted to ask for a certificate.

Mrs. Dong said: "Let me say first, this is what someone else said, I don't know if it's true or not, I just came to tell my sister, and now it is rumored that this matter is related to Dingwangfu, and it is said that it is ......." ”

Speaking of the key point, Mrs. Dong stopped again.

Madame Meng urged again, "Just say it quickly, guess what?"

Mrs. Dong said: "It is said that when General Shao was at the border pass, he had a little disagreement with King Ding, and it is said that the soldiers under the two of them also had a fight...... There is some speculation that King Ding has a grudge and can't do anything to General Shao at the border pass, so when he returns to Yancheng, he takes advantage of General Shao's absence to find trouble with his family. ”

"This is just nonsense, how can there be such speculation?" Mrs. Meng couldn't help but say, "This is all that mouthy tongue chewing tongue, where is it, no matter how the king is, he will not find trouble with other people's wives and children, besides, how can a big living person disappear for no reason?"

Mrs. Dong said: "Sister, I'll just say that this is what others say, I'm afraid that my sister won't know, so I'll tell you first, after all, King Ding is the son-in-law of the Meng family, and the outside world is really ugly now." ”

Mrs. Quan Si interjected at this time because she had paid attention to the affairs of the Shao family: "Speaking of which, the Shao family is also the family of the generals, General Shao is on a campaign, and his family is not ordinary people, how can outsiders be bullied at will?

"Maybe. Mrs. Dong said this in her mouth, but she didn't think so, a few big living people disappeared out of thin air, leaving no clues, this is not a simple matter.

Mrs. Meng also felt that it was a little serious, if it was an ordinary official eunuch, this matter might not have such a big impact, but General Shao Li's wife was different, Shao Li was out on the expedition, and his family was under the key protection or surveillance of the court.

Meng Ye was also a general at the beginning, as the general's wife, she naturally knew the inside story better than others, and the soldiers were out on the expedition, in order to prevent dissent, the family members were equivalent to hostages.

This is also the reason why the soldiers and their families who guard the border cannot go together.

When King Dingzhen guarded the border pass, the palace sent many grandmothers and palace maids to King Ding's mansion, saying that they were taking care of the pregnant princess Ding, but in fact, it was also a kind of surveillance.

The emperor was jealous of King Ding, for fear that King Ding, who had a heavy army, would have different intentions, so he sent General Shao Li to go to suppress King Ding, and sent his grandmother to King Ding's mansion, the purpose was to watch Princess Ding, so as not to dismiss the mother and son, and there was no way to lead King Ding.

Probably the court put all the attention on the Dingwang Mansion and ignored the Shao family.

is also holding heavy troops, King Ding may have different intentions, won't the Shao family?

Mrs. Meng couldn't help but think of another possibility, if General Shao had any different intentions, maybe he would find a way to take away his wife and children, this matter may not be a simple family dispute, but a deep court dispute.

Or is there anyone who wants to sow discord and make General Shao's wife and son angry?

Let's just talk about the current rumors, it has been related to King Ding for no reason, and this General Shao's wife has only been missing for a few days? I don't know anything, how can anyone think that it is related to King Ding? The person who spread such news must have ulterior motives.

Out of political sensitivity, Mrs. Meng had a gut feeling that if General Shao's wife and children disappeared like that, and there would be no one alive or dead, there might be a big storm in the court.

The Dingwang Mansion out of the center of the government will become the target of public criticism, such rumors are in order to be true, King Ding's discord with the Shao family, taking advantage of General Shao's absence, to attack General Shao's family and other nonsense.

Everyone is very happy, and Mrs. Meng is also a person who is used to using rumors, so she naturally knows the impact of rumors on the development of events, but I am afraid that everyone's eyes will be on Princess Ding now.

Mrs. Dong said: "In short, now I can't find General Shao's wife and children, except for Mrs. Shao and children, there are no less maids and servants in General Shao's family, if it is said that General Shao's wife took the children by herself, at least one or two loyal servants must be taken care of, right?" In the end, there was no one with him, and it was really hard to believe that he was leaving, and the old man and his wife were unreasonable, after all, they didn't do anything to General Shao's wife, if a young woman really ran away from home, her reputation would be ruined, and General Shao's wife wouldn't be so stupid, right?
