90. Chapter 90
Murong Qingran put the whole bag of fish food into the small lotus pond, turned around and walked forward, and asked casually as he walked, "You have been in the Hou Mansion for five years, why didn't you give birth to a son and a half daughter to your uncle?" The heirs of the Hou Mansion are thin, isn't it a God-given opportunity for you. ”
Aunt Wei, who was following behind Murong Qingran, was stunned, and said truthfully, "It's not that the concubine doesn't want to, but even if the concubine worships the Buddha, eats fasting, and donates incense money, it won't help." ”
Murong He's several wives and concubines, except for the dead Aunt Jiang, who gave birth to a son to him, the rest of the lives were daughters, Wei Yan'er was the worst, and she couldn't even give birth to a daughter after coming to the Hou Mansion for five years.
"Needless to say, it must be a ghost that Madame did in secret." Aunt Wei said indignantly.
Murong Qingran didn't say a word, but the words he said were a little fanning the flames, "I heard that my uncle wants to take a concubine for my uncle again." ”
This sentence undoubtedly made Aunt Wei panic, "Fifth Miss, is this matter serious?" ”
Murong Qingluan personally told her that it was naturally true, Murong Qingran nodded, "Miss Ben doesn't need to lie to you, it's true or not, wait for a while, you will know." "At present, the mansion is busy with the major affairs of Murong Qingluan and Lu, and Murong He's concubine is naturally postponed, the Wang family will not mention it for no reason, most likely Murong He himself also has this heart, otherwise no matter how generous the Wang family is, they will not give Murong He concubines one after another, and there are enough maids in the house to Murong He, if he is given the title of concubine again, the Wang family himself will definitely feel uncomfortable.
Aunt Wei's face changed slightly, she was able to gain a firm foothold in the Hou Mansion, relying on Murong He's doting on her, loving her youth, and loving her beauty, if there was a younger and more beautiful one, wouldn't she have nothing in the Hou Mansion.
"Don't worry, when the time comes, you can make plans again." Murong Qingran comforted.
But how can Aunt Wei not be in a hurry, Murong He's concubine, she is the most affected in the Hou Mansion, other aunts such as Aunt Fang, Aunt You, and Mrs. Wang, they are not as favored as her in front of Murong He on weekdays, especially the Wang family, if Murong He is not for the sake of her wife, in order for her to be able to establish authority in the Hou Mansion, she has to go to her room twice a month, and at other times, Murong He is too lazy to step into the Wang family's house.
Murong Qingran stretched out his hand and patted the back of Aunt Wei's hand.
There was a chill between the pale fingers, and as soon as she touched the back of Aunt Wei's hand, Aunt Wei shivered with cold, "Fifth Miss." ”
"You have been in the Hou Mansion for five years, if you can't even cope with this little thing, then Miss Ben should consider a replacement." In the gloomy weather, Murong Qingran's voice was cold to the bone marrow, she said a pun, and after finishing speaking, she took out a piece of letterhead from her cuff, "Your brother Wei Hu has recently caused a lawsuit and was imprisoned in the prison of Qizhou Mansion, Miss Ben has already sent someone to find out in private, Miss Ben can help you here, but there is the official mansion, you also know that it is inconvenient for Miss Ben to come forward." ”
Aunt Wei's eldest brother Wei Hu was an idle scoundrel, and later saw that his sister became Jiyanghou's favorite concubine, he became more and more fearless, using Jiyanghou's prestige fox and fake tiger power, bullying men and women, and fighting with others is a common thing. But usually, those people dare to go against Wei Hu because of Jiyang Hou's identity, but this time, even Wei Hu was unlucky, and he actually had a dispute with Murong He's rival Dingyuan Bofu, and that person was also Dingyuan Bo Ma Rong's nephew Wu Tianbao. Speaking of this Wu Tianbao, he is also a child of an unsuccessful family, Ma Rong's sister and sister-in-law are no longer alive, Mrs. Ma took pity on this grandson, so she asked Ma Rong to take Wu Tianbao to Dingyuan Bofu, therefore, this Wu Tianbao is the same as Ma Xiao in Dingyuan Bofu, he is a golden son, if he has an injury, Mrs. Ma has to hug him and cry, crying her bitter dead daughter, in this way, Dingyuan Bo Ma Rong has no choice, can only rely on this nephew in everything.
"The concubine had already persuaded him, but he didn't listen, but now it's okay, he has been imprisoned, and he wants the concubine to say, he deserves it, he deserves it!" Aunt Wei was angry and anxious when she talked about the only eldest brother, scolding on her lips, but she was still worried in her heart, "Fifth Miss, how can this be good." That Uncle Dingyuan and Hou Ye have always been incompatible, if he learns about Wei Hu's relationship with our Jiyang Hou Mansion, he won't torture the concubine's brother to death......"
"As long as people are locked up in the prison of Qizhou Mansion, your brother Wei Hu will be fine." Murong Qingran said with deep meaning.
Aunt Wei is not stupid, she immediately thought of it, Lord Zheng of Qizhou Governor is Hou Ye's person, no, she has to hurry up and beg Hou Ye to rescue her brother, otherwise when the people from Dingyuan Bofu arrive, her brother will have his life.
"Thank you Miss Fifth for telling me in advance, and when the concubine rescues the eldest brother, I will come to thank Miss Five. The concubine retired. Aunt Wei gratefully blessed Murong Qing and left in a hurry.
Murong Qingran looked at her distant back, with a strange smile on the corner of her mouth, throwing Wei Hu into the prison of Qizhou Mansion, just throw a stone to ask for directions.
It's been five years, and I don't know how Mr. Qi is?
Murong Qingran sighed.
"Fifth Miss, I see which direction Aunt Wei is going." Granny Zhou quietly came to Murong Qingran's side and whispered in Murong Qingran's ear.
The courtyard in that direction is where Murong He lives.
This was what Murong Qingran expected, and Aunt Wei could only ask Murong He for help if she wanted to save her brother Wei Hu.
"Nurse, Mr. Qi will be able to come out soon, you believe me." Murong Qingran's eyes flashed with confidence, in the past five years, she has been thinking about how to save Mr. Qi all the time, but her power is weak, just like Mr. Qi asked her that day, what did she rely on if she wanted her father's former subordinates to regain their loyalty to her. She has no power, no power, and no power, and even if those people will remain loyal to her, she is not worth their lives.
"What to do when you rescue him, Qi Chong'an, that person, has a mean mouth and is frivolous, it's not good to let him die in prison, so as not to let others suffer from him." Granny Zhou was unforgiving, but there were tears in her eyes, the prison was dark and damp, a person who was picked off his hands and feet could live to this day, it was indeed not easy. This Qi Chong'an, his life is really big enough.
Murong Qingran smiled helplessly, and the same tears glistened in his eyes.
"Nurse ......" Suddenly, Murong Qingran stopped talking, and her red lips pursed slightly.
Granny Zhou looked at her suspiciously.
Murong Qing's pale Yurong smiled sadly, laughed resentfully, and more importantly, was powerless.
"It's okay, Dye'er just feels cold and wants to go back." Murong Qing dyed the plain gown.
Granny Zhou felt distressed and protected Murong Qingran's cold hand in the palm of her hand, "Miss has been cold since she was a child, and she should not be cold, just tell her to do it in the future, and you don't have to come forward in person." ”
"Dye Er can't always hide behind the nurse, Dye Er and the nurse have no relatives and no reason, and the nurse has done a lot for Dye'er." If the father was kind to the nurse back then, what the nurse has done to her over the years has already exceeded the kindness of the year.
"If the young lady says that again, the nurse will be angry." Granny Zhou deliberately put on a face.
"Nurse." Murong Qingran coquettishly threw herself into Granny Zhou's arms, perhaps, the warmth of her mother should be like this.
Granny Zhou didn't have a problem with Murong Qing, and said rudely, "Don't come to this set with the old lady." But her face became more and more gentle, she and Murong Qingran had been dependent on each other for five years, it was not a simple master-servant relationship, she took Miss Murong Wu's little hand from Aunt Jiang that day, and Granny Zhou knew that she would never abandon this daughter of the benefactor that day.
Hehe, Murong Qingran said with a smile, "Dye Er knows, the nurse can't bear it." ”
Back at the residence, Mrs. Zhou closed the window lattice, lit the candles all over the house, and burned the charcoal fire even more.
The temperature in the room rose suddenly, and Murong Qing's pale face was dyed a little red, which made it even more delicate.
"Miss, you rest first, and when you wake up, the nurse will bring you food. And this rose cake, it's all cold, and you don't have a good stomach, so don't eat it. Granny Zhou confiscated the rose cake on the table and put it in her arms, Murong Qingran opened her mouth several times to speak, but in the end she didn't say anything.
"Nurse, go get busy."
Granny Zhou knows martial arts, and Murong Qingran asks her to do many things, usually at this time, Murong Qingran sleeps in the house for about an hour, and when she wakes up and reads a book for a while, she can have dinner directly.
"Miss, there is a small purple gold stove on the couch, if you still feel cold, hold it." Granny Zhou chattered, and reminded Murong Qingran of some things repeatedly, seeing that Murong Qingran covered her ears, Granny Zhou's voice became louder, "Little aunt, did you listen to the old lady's words, don't go out of this yard if you have nothing to do, and ......"
"Also, even if someone kills people and sets fires outside, and someone shouts for help, I have to pretend that I didn't hear it, and pretend to be deaf and dumb." Murong Qingran was amused for a while, and took Granny Zhou's words and said, "If someone is really unfavorable to me, even if I hide in this room, I still can't hide." Nurse, do you say yes? ”
Granny Zhou was so refuted that she couldn't say a word, and before going out, she muttered dissatisfiedly, "I think that the old lady was in her prime, and she was definitely called cold and glamorous, but now it's good, she has become a nagging woman, and she blames this conscienceless little aunt and grandmother, if she is well-behaved and obedient, how can I be like this today." ”
When Murong Qingran heard this, she laughed, and then, she untied her gown, revealing a plain skirt, the pure white silk around her waist was tied into a knot and hung down, and the hairpin was taken off, allowing her head full of green silk to be draped over her shoulders.
The charcoal fire in the charcoal basin became more and more vigorous, and the room was warm, and Murong Qingran came up sleepy and climbed onto the low couch on the side.
Unlike others, only during the day, Murong Qingran sleeps most peacefully, and rarely has nightmares, once at night, even if the lights are lit again, with Granny Zhou by her side, she also does not sleep steadily, but she did not tell Granny Zhou, and because of this, she has developed the habit of snoozing during the day.
"Dye'er, my dyer'......"
In a daze, there seemed to be a pair of big calloused hands caressing her face, and Murong Qingran woke up suddenly, opened his eyes suddenly, and looked at the person who came in horror.
But the person who came didn't see the slightest embarrassment, but smiled kindly, "Why, I don't even know my father anymore." ”
