On the way back to the Hou Mansion, Old Madam Xue held her head all the way and leaned on Peony's arms and moaned, constantly urging her to go back to the house quickly, saying that she had a head stroke again, and refused to say a word to Shen Ruohua. Shen Ruohua, www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, listened to her neutral voice, smiled and didn't say anything, just sat aside and occasionally raised the curtain to look at the street market outside.

When Shen Ruohua returned to the banquet in the flower hall just now, Mrs. Xue's face was white and terrifying, looking at Shen Ruohua's gaze as if she had seen a ghost, she couldn't imagine that Shen Ruohua could come back safe and sound, obviously it had already become, everyone was sent to one place, they just had to wait for a movement over there, and then pretend not to know how to rush over, they could see Shen Ruohua who was forced to die without "committing suicide", and Qi Mingrui, who had not come to his senses, at that time, she only had to cry and cry and show an extremely sad appearance, all things have their own eldest princess and King Kang to decide for them. And all of Shen Ruohua's dowries will be hers, and the first two ** will not be less than what she took out, and they will be sent back.

But she's back! Old Madam Xue had no way of knowing how she was able to escape from that side, she couldn't look at the face that was still looking at her with a calm smile, and her heart was so weak that she felt that those eyes seemed to be able to see through all her plans, which made her feel a little ...... Afraid! So she only pretended to be sick and didn't go to see Shen Ruohua, planning to go back to the house first and then find a way.

Shen Ruohua seemed to be a nobody, looking at the scenery outside the carriage window with great interest, watching the carriage turn from Dongdajie into the Chongjiaofang Hutong, and suddenly a person on the side of the road taught her to pay attention, it was the back of a young woman, wearing a new goose yellow sprinkled flower jacket, smoky cotton skirt, and walking with a little girl bowed, as if she had just come from the door of Houfujiao. Seeing her pass by the carriage, Shen Ruohua lowered the curtain, and a slight sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth, it was Qi Niangzi.

Sure enough, after getting out of the carriage, Qingmei and Mama Xia were waiting by the side door, their faces were a little unsightly, and when they saw Shen Ruohua, they hurriedly stepped forward to help her: "The lady is back, and she has been here for most of the day, and she can't bring people over, so don't worry about the maids." ”

Shen Ruohua said with a smile: "It's okay, what can I do if I go over to have a birthday banquet." "Old Madam Xue naturally won't let her bring the girl over, she wants her to be the only one who can do it.

The old lady got out of the carriage and asked people to carry it back to Liqing Courtyard with a rattan drawer, saying that she had a headache, and she didn't let Shen Ruohua go over to serve. Shen Ruohua didn't say much, sent two steps, and took Qingmei and Mama Xia back to the yard. On the way back to Qiongbi Courtyard, Mama Xia told her about Qi Niangzi quietly coming to the house again: "...... It was the third master who asked people to quietly bring in from the corner door, and did not let the mother-in-law who guarded the door make a noise, and took it directly to the study in the front yard, and stayed for most of the hour before leaving, and did not let people serve in front of him, and he didn't know what he had done! "Mama Xia can't be angry, the third master is really a bad and cheap thing, and he doesn't care about his own lady's face.

Shen Ruohua's face was calm: "That is why she came not long after I left the house, so it can be seen that she knows the news." ”

Mama Xia nodded: "The mother-in-law who watched the door knew that the lady was friendly and generous, and she rewarded Mrs. Chen with a lot of money the previous time, and this time she rushed to talk to the maid, saying that the lady just went out today, and Xue Xing quietly went out from the corner gate." ”

Shen Ruohua smiled, it seemed that Xue Wenhao was interested in Qi Niangzi, and she couldn't wait for someone to pick her up before she left the house. It seems that Xue Wenhao has found new fun again, and it's time for him to suffer.

When I arrived at the door of the east wing, I saw Aunt Lian, who was wearing a loose satin cotton skirt and holding Chunxiang on her waist, and was talking loudly to the little girl: "...... If Mrs. knows, how can she go to the birthday banquet with peace of mind, now there are more and more rules in this courtyard, anyone dares to go to the courtyard to lead, if you don't cheer up and look at some, I'm afraid I don't know what will happen again! Behind her was Aunt Gui, who looked at a loss, and was whispering to persuade her, but to no avail.

Shen Ruohua took Qingmei and Mama Xia to step forward, with a calm face: "What is this trouble, I have only been out of the house for half a day, and no one in this courtyard dares to come to the East Wing to make trouble?!" ”

Aunt Lian didn't expect Shen Ruohua to come back, and she stopped in shock, she now knows that this third lady is not easy to mess with, two days ago, even the old lady was forced to send the dowry back as it was, she didn't dare to fight against it like before anyway. When Aunt Gui saw Shen Ruohua, she was even more like seeing a savior, and hurriedly greeted her and bowed respectfully: "Madam is back." ”

Shen Ruohua glanced at the two of them, strode into the wing, asked Qingmei and Yaotao to take off their cloaks for themselves, changed into homely dresses, and removed the hairpin ring before letting the two aunts come in, her face was still cold and indifferent: "What, now that anyone in my east wing can come to make a scene, where have you learned the rules?" The voice was not loud, but it was full of majesty, and the girls and mothers-in-law all lowered their heads and listened to the reprimand.

Aunt Gui's face turned pale, and she knelt down and whispered: "The concubine doesn't dare, Mrs. forgive the sin." ”

Aunt Lian was bold after all, knelt down and raised her head to look at Shen Ruohua and said: "Madame spares her life, there is really something urgent to ask Madame to be the master, this courtyard is really completely out of order now, and the concubines are so angry that they came to see Madame." ”

Shen Ruohua took the bird's nest soup from Yao Tao, took a small bite, and then said, "What's the matter, let's talk about it." ”

Aunt Lian's eyes were red, and she said indignantly: "Today, the lady has only been out of the house for a while, and someone led Qi Niangzi into the courtyard from the corner gate, but she didn't come to see Mrs. yet, she took it directly to the study in the front yard, and Mrs. also knew that only the third master could enter the study, and there was no one else in the past." She glanced sideways at Aunt Gui before she continued, "She went in for more than an hour before she came out, and there was no one to serve in front of her, what else could this lonely man and widow do in that study in broad daylight!" also said that she was born as a lady from an official family, so she had no face and no skin, and she hooked a man to the Hou Mansion! ”

How could she not be annoyed, she thought that she had a body, even if Aunt Gui had a new house, she couldn't compare, but who would have thought that now the third master would look at that Qi Niangzi again, Qi Niangzi is different from them, but a lady from an official family, if she really wants to get this Qi Niangzi into the yard, then she will not be able to please her eldest son even if she gives birth to a concubine.
