Zhao Qin couldn't bear it anymore, "Mrs. Xiao, what do you mean by this!" ā
"Summoning Qin!" Lord Chensu scolded, and the atmosphere instantly cooled, but he suppressed his anger but stopped Zhao Qin first. It's just that Zhao Qin's voice just now attracted a lot of attention, Xiao Jue was conducting an autopsy, and after hearing Zhao Qin's voice, he stopped and raised his head to look here.
"Watch, you go and tell the adults first, I'm okay here, let him not worry." I turned my head to the side and immediately gave an account to the watchman.
Shouwang looked at Lord Chensu and Zhao Qin, a little worried, but he still responded to my request and turned to Xiao Jue.
"Mrs. Xiao," while watching and leaving, Lord Chensu kept silently watching his figure until he arrived at Xiao Jue's side, and Lord Chensu came back to his senses and said, "What is the point of you talking like this?" ā
"It doesn't have any specific significance, but after calculating the ages of Lord Su and Mrs. He Jiang, I feel that the adults are much older than Mrs. He Jiang, so before Mrs. He Jiang, can the adults have other wives and concubines?" In this era of advocating early marriage and early childbearing, Lord Chensu will not get married for the first time at the age of thirty.
After listening to the explanation, Lord Chensu didn't seem to care so much, "He Jiang is indeed my first wife. At the same time that I was surprised, Lord Chensu said, "When my mother married Lord Su Yin, I was already sensible, and I spent a lot of time with my grandfather when I was a child. If you hear too many ugly words, you will naturally be reluctant to contact outsiders more. Thinking about making contributions, a lot of years were spent on government affairs, and two years ago, my grandfather was in charge of the marriage set for me and He Jiang, so I married her. ā
That's right. His explanation is also reasonable, because he is an illegitimate child and has low self-esteem, so he has never married, so as to escape the ridicule of others about his life experience, until he has an official position, so that others dare not underestimate him. "The words and deeds of adults can afford to be called a gentleman, dare to fight against fate, and strive for a merit for themselves, and the ambition of adults is really admirable."
"But Chen Su can't hear Mrs. Xiao's envy, like Mrs. Neng, with the support of a husband like Lord Xiao, it is enviable." Lord Chensu really noticed Xiao Jue's reaction. "I wonder if there's anything else Mrs. Xiao wants to ask?"
"For Lord Yu Chensu and Zhao Qin, it's gone for the time being. It's just that," I glanced at the courtyard, "this Xiangmi lady shouldn't be here, right?" I don't know where to find Mrs. Xiangmi? ā
Lord Chensu gave me the feeling that he immediately stiffened, and even the summons beside him seemed at a loss.
"Am I saying something wrong?" I don't quite understand why they reacted the way they did when I mentioned Mrs. Xiangmi.
"Nope." Lord Chensu explained loudly, "Many years ago, my mother lived in seclusion in the mansion and no longer asked about anything. Even if He Jiang died in the mansion this time, I am afraid that my mother will not take a step out of the door. If Mrs. Xiao really needs to see her mother, please lead Mrs. Xiao to her mother's yard to explore. ā
Mrs. Xiangmi has gone into seclusion here? I hesitated for a moment, "It's fine." ā
Lord Chensu made a gesture of please, and led me to avoid the crowd and walk deeper into the mansion.
Zhao Qin has been following us not far away.
As I followed, I felt that something was wrong, and I couldn't tell what was wrong, but Teng Ran felt this way from the bottom of my heart, which made people more and more concerned, but I couldn't figure it out.
"Mother." Just thinking about it, Lord Chensu had already led me into a courtyard, and Zhao Qin stopped outside the courtyard, with no intention of following up. Lord Chensu stepped forward, waited at the door, bowed and shouted into the room.
But after waiting for a long time, there was no movement in this room.
"Mother, Mrs. Xiao, who was sent by the queen to investigate the case of He Jiang, wants to see you." Lord Chensu looked at me waiting outside the door again, and then called into the room again.
Is this yard really inhabited?
Although the cleaning is very clean, it is too deserted and not even popular. There are more and more fascination in this mansion.
After waiting for a long time, the door of the room creaked open. A woman who was a little older, but with a rather calm demeanor, stood inside the door, and glanced at the three people outside our door, and when she saw Lord Chensu, her eyes were very flat, and there was no special change; Her pupils contracted slightly as she swept over Zhao Qin at the entrance of the courtyard, but because her gaze quickly turned away, only that moment of effort was enough for me to feel her disgust for Zhao Qin...... Then, her gaze gradually fell on me, which was stabilized, and a pair of deep pupils gradually expanded, "Mrs. Xiao, the old slave is the person next to Mrs. Xiangmi, Mrs. Xiangmi invites Mrs. Xiao to go in alone." ā
I listened to her words and turned my head to look at Lord Chensu.
The man who called himself an old slave didn't even turn his head, just turned his face slightly, and said coldly to Lord Chensu, "Madame said, please go back, Mrs. Hejiang's future affairs are still waiting for your adult to deal with." ā
Although it is a relay of Mrs. Xiangmi's words, as a female slave next to Mrs. Xiangmi, she is really unkind to Mrs. Xiangmi's two sons. What's even more incredible is that after listening to her words, Lord Chensu even bowed slightly, as if she was saluting.
She glanced at me, then turned and went into the room, I hesitated, but followed in, she stayed in the door, and when I entered, she closed the door, and Mrs. Xiangmi, who was about to make me curious to death, was on the right side of the room, sitting cross-legged, motionless.
I was full of doubts, and cautiously looked back at Mrs. Xiangmi's slave girl, but she stood lifelessly aside, not even saying half a word. As a last resort, I could only walk towards Mrs. Xiangmi, and the closer I got to her, the more I could smell a faint fragrance, which was very special.
Mrs. Xiangmi suddenly opened her eyes, startling me.
She lifted her eyelids and glanced at me faintly. "Are you the Lady Xiao sent by the Queen?"
"Yes." I replied.
I was a little surprised, the woman in front of me, with her beautiful appearance, meticulous makeup, and meticulous bun, looked like a pretty woman in her early thirties. But when she opened her mouth, her voice was as hoarse as that of an old lady of seventy or eighty years old, and under the contrast of such a strong conflict, my uneasy feeling gradually became heavier and heavier.
"I'm surprised." She sneered, not at all surprised, I would be surprised by the strong contrast between her voice and countenance.
"I'm sorry." After all, it was my own negligence, and I lowered my head, not wanting to make her feel bad because of my delusions.
Unexpectedly, she waved her hand as if she didn't care, "Don't worry." ā
"Mrs. Xiangmi, your voice is ......" I wondered why her voice had become like this.
"It's strange that the voice has become like this, when you're old." After saying that, she giggled, the voice really did not match her appearance, if she had closed her eyes and sounded, the person she thought of from this voice would never be this face.
It's like a witch dressed in a girl's skin, and it's unsettling.
She said old? I smiled and asked, "Mrs. Xiangmi doesn't look like she's in her early thirties, right?" Why do you say you're old? ā
As soon as I praised her, her smile that had just been restrained actually began to giggle again. She seemed to be very satisfied with my praise of her, and her fingers brushed her delicate face, but the cruelty in her eyes was undisguised, "Do you really think that I am only in my early thirties?" ā
She cares about it.
That's why I have been repeatedly confirmed.
cares about the feelings that her appearance brings to others, but she does not hide her disgust for age, her voice and eyes are by no means like what a woman in the prime of life has. It seems that Mrs. Xiangmi's seclusion has another inside story.
She sat at the dresser, fiddling with one of her faces against the water in the basin.
"Madame has a pretty face, and her skin is as smooth as white jade, even if she says thirty, she may say that she is too big." I deliberately flattered her, but what I said was true, and as for what kind of heart she had under this skin, take your time.
"Ugh." Mrs. Xiangmi was happy enough, sighed and sat back to the side, "If you hear this way, you will be happy many times, but I know that I am not a young man in his twenties or thirties after all." ā
What did she say...... Quite flawed. "Just now, he said that you were ordered by the queen to investigate the case? But what do you want to ask me? ā
"Madame is smart, I didn't expect Madame to have been living in seclusion here, but she still knows everything about what is happening in the mansion." I chuckled.
"Seclusion?" When she first heard these two words, the disdain she expressed was very clear, "It was the adult outside who told you that I lived in seclusion in this deserted courtyard." ā
"Yes." I try not to let myself show a different color on my face.
"Hmph." She couldn't get angry and snorted softly. "They're the ones who put me here."
As expected, when Mrs. Xiang Mi replaced her eldest son, Lord Chensu, with him, I vaguely realized that the relationship between their mother and son was not as it was as it seemed to be, or rather, worse.
Seeing that I was puzzled, Mrs. Xiang Mi got up again, her posture was very light, and without saying a word, she took my hand, pulled me to her side, and then sat down with her. She said, "I like you, you're a smart person, but you're not a sinister person. ā
"Mrs. Xie's approval." I was a little surprised by what she had to say to me.
"Mrs. Xiao, I'm not living in seclusion here, I'm locked up here, can you save me?" Mrs. Xiangmi did not have as many scruples as Lord Chensu, and the request she made directly to me at the moment made me feel that my judgment of this woman had once again been wrong.
"If Mrs. Xiangmi needs help, I will do my best. However, if this matter in the court involves power, it may not be something that I can shake. I agreed, but I also explained to her that even if I tried my best, it might not go her way.
"Ugh." She was a little disappointed, "Forget it, please help, I'm afraid it will kill you one more time." Ask me if you want to know, and if I know, I'll tell you. ā
