Chapter 30: The Snake
After Su Luo left, Zheng raised his eyebrows and was silent for a while, then called Mrs. Zhou in and ordered a few words. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although Mrs. Zhou felt strange, she didn't dare to ask more, so she hurriedly answered yes and bowed down.
By this time it was already late at night, and it was still drizzling outside.
Except for the sound of rain, the Xiangfu is much quieter than before.
The fifth aunt Jin Caidie waited for the eldest master to rest early, and the other aunts' yards also turned off the lights, and the young ladies also fell asleep.
In the quiet Xiangfu, only the patrolling courtyard comes and goes in front of the corridor pavilions.
Mrs. Zhou walked all the way to the northwest chamber with an umbrella along the corner of the wall hung with wind lanterns, and when she arrived at the courtyard of Miss Seven, she stood quietly outside the courtyard gate for a while, and after a quarter of an hour she returned to the Furong Pavilion along the same road.
"If Mrs. Hui is concerned, there is still light in the courtyard, and Miss Seven should not have slept yet." Mrs. Zhou said respectfully.
"Is there anything out of the ordinary?"
Mrs. Zhou shook her head, "That's not true." ”
In the past, Mrs. Zhou could guess what the Zheng family wanted, but she was a little confused about this matter tonight.
Except for Miss Yan of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Zheng family never seemed to be interested in any of the young ladies in the Mansion.
Mrs. Zhou couldn't understand Zheng's thoughts, so she could only answer truthfully what she could see.
There really is nothing unusual about Miss Seven's yard.
Besides, in the middle of the night, she couldn't see anything wrong.
Zheng loosened his tightened eyebrows and nodded.
"Go down." She waved her hand.
In fact, she didn't know why she asked Mrs. Zhou to go to the courtyard of the seven girls to inquire at this time, she knew that it would not help her, but she still told Mrs. Zhou to do it.
Because that thing has always been a big stone on her heart!
If the seven girls don't get rid of it for a day, she will not be at peace for a day!

After Mrs. Zhou left with an umbrella, Grandma Luo quietly walked out from behind a big tree.
When she came over, she saw Mrs. Zhou sneakily looking outside the door of Miss Seven's courtyard, and in order to avoid alarming Mrs. Zhou, Grandma Luo hid behind a big tree.
When Mrs. Zhou walked away, Grandma Luo hurriedly knocked on the door of the courtyard.
Soon the courtyard door opened, and Chen's mother showed a hint of surprise on her face when she saw the old woman standing outside the door, it was so late, why did Grandma Luo who was watching the corner door come to the young lady's courtyard?
Is there a rush to find Yuanxiang?
Grandma Luo said bluntly: "I want to see Miss Seven." ”
Mother Chen looked anxious at her, and no longer delayed, so she led her in and closed the door tightly.
After Chen's mother entered the house and passed the word, she let Grandma Luo enter the door.
Yuan Xiang stepped forward to support Grandma Luo and asked, "Auntie, why are you here?" ”
Grandma Luo looked anxious, and she didn't care about Yuanxiang's question, so she stepped forward and saluted Miss Seven.
Su Ximei hurriedly reached out to help her up, but found that Grandma Luo's hands were cold and still trembling slightly. Su Ximei frowned, helped Grandma Luo sit down, and asked Ling Xiang to bring the tea.
In the middle of the night, the road was slippery on a rainy day, and Grandma Luo rushed to the courtyard, there must be something important to tell her.
Grandma Luo swallowed a sip of tea to calm down, and then Su Ximei asked, "Grandma Luo, what happened?" ”
When Grandma Luo heard this, her expression became nervous again.
"Seventh Miss, Second Miss quietly went back to the Prime Minister's Mansion tonight." She lowered her voice and spoke, "The second young lady came in and out of the courtyard from the road, and I happened to see it, and when I came over just now, I saw Mrs. Zhou of Furong Pavilion sneaking around outside the courtyard gate, and I didn't know what she was doing. ”
Saying these words, Luo Apo's slightly pale face improved a lot, and she was not as nervous as Jiang Cai.
Yuan Xiang pursed her lips when she heard this.
"What does Mrs. Zhou want to do? It must have been instructed by the eldest lady! ”
Su Ximei walked to the other side of the square table and sat down, her fingertips tapping lightly on the table.
"The second sister probably already knows that Zheng Quan saw me near the compound yesterday, and I secretly went back to the house tonight to discuss countermeasures with the Zheng family, if I don't expect, the Zheng family and daughter will start to suspect me."
was bumped into by Zheng Quan in the Lingwang Mansion yesterday, and Su Ximei knew that the Zheng mother and daughter would suspect her sooner or later.
If she was left in the eyes of others, she would only walk around the courtyard if she was walking around, but Zheng's mother and daughter were extremely thoughtful, even if they thought she was innocent, they would not let her go mercilessly.
It seems that Zheng's mother and daughter have already started to kill.
"So what to do?" Luo Apo said hurriedly, "The eldest lady is ruthless, after the death of Mrs. Yuan, she can't wait to cultivate her own power in the house, the Tong family is a good example, and now she is forced to become a family, Tong Laosan has to take her two sons to go to another country to find a job." ”
Su Ximei reached out and touched the back of Grandma Luo's hand, and opened her mouth softly for a while.
"Zheng is just an inner house woman, but he stretched out his hand outside the house, his father, as a powerful minister, is cautious in the court, and he will definitely not ruin his future because of an inner house woman, Zheng has done many evils, and he will repay her one by one in the future." She spoke in a very soft voice, but it seemed as if every word had a firm and resolute conviction.
She believes in retribution!
She believes that God has eyes!
Otherwise, she wouldn't have come back to life.
Su Ximei asked Ling Xiang to bring ten taels of silver and hand it to Grandma Luo, who was a little puzzled for a while, and looked up at Miss Seven.
Su Ximei smiled.
"Grandma Luo, this is a month's salary, and it will be ten taels of silver every month in the future, as long as you follow me for one day, you will be counted as a salary."
Grandma Luo looked slightly surprised.
"Miss Seven, how can this work! The Tao steward of the Prime Minister's Mansion is only five taels of silver a month. ”
Miss Seven's life was already not easy, how could she ask for so much silver!
What's more, there will be a monthly case in the house every month.
Su Ximei smiled gently.
"Grandma Luo, the girls and mothers in my courtyard are all taking this number, you are the old man next to the eldest sister, there should have been more, but I know that you will not agree, so you have to take the ten taels of silver, just take care of you for the eldest sister."
Tears welled up in the corners of Grandma Luo's eyes after hearing this, and she got up and bowed deeply to Miss Seven.
Miss, did you see that?
Miss Seven really put you on the tip of her heart, and your Miss Qiu Qi will never forget for a moment, and your spirit in the sky can rest in peace.

The rain stopped.
Night, silent.
On Yong Road in the south of Yujie Road in the capital is a magnificent mansion.
The vigorous and vigorous handwriting on the door plaque reads the words "Lingwang Mansion", highlighting the noble identity of the owner who lives in this mansion.
In the study, behind the fan of the long river and green mountains, a camphor wood table with a mahogany carved orchid chair, on one side is a golden silk nan wood frame with various precious handicrafts, and there are two pots of podocarpus bonsai by the window.
It looks understated and noble.
Han Ziye, the king of the tomb, was bowing his head to deal with the official document at this time, when a man in black suddenly appeared, stroked the short sword hanging from his waist with one hand, and bowed slightly.
"Lord, Concubine Su secretly returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion tonight, and now the person has returned." He said respectfully.
