"What do you mean, the Han family means to wait and see now, Yingqi is not in danger at the moment?" At night, the fire on the copper candlestick emitted a faint light, and Mrs. Meng sat in the shadow of the candle flame, her face a little yellow. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Meng Qinglan looked at the eldest sister-in-law's obviously tired expression, sighed slightly, and said, "Yes!" Sister-in-law, don't be impatient. Ingch is not in danger at this time. Now it is Fu Shangshu and his party who are anxious. ”

Old Mrs. Meng looked at his concerned eyes, remembering that he had been running around outside for the past few days, and he should have been very tired. He held up his spirit and smiled at him: "Uncle Nine, fortunately there are you." It's not too early, and you're tired from a day outside, so go to bed early! ”

Meng Jiu nodded, and on the other side, Mother He had already instructed someone to prepare hot water for him.

Meng Jiu saw the old lady's expression and knew that she must not have made up her mind this day. It's better to let her rest early. He quickly got up and took his leave.

In the courtyard, there was the soft sound of the wind blowing through the treetops. Walking in the empty courtyard, under the dim air lamp under the porch, he suddenly saw a slender figure in the corridor in front of him.

"Who's there?" He asked aloud. Recently, there have been a lot of things at home, and people must have their own thoughts. It's so late, there are still people walking outside, and the eldest sister-in-law is too old to manage it. He can no longer be negligent.

When the man heard his question, he stood where he was and bowed down to him: "Uncle Nine, the slave maid is Ah Bi next to the young lady, and she has just come from the lady. ”

Hearing the girl's crisp voice, Meng Jiu breathed a sigh of relief. "It's so late, hurry back to your room! An Niang must have rested. "For this girl, I don't know what's going on, he always has some pity in his heart.

"Yes!" The girl replied respectfully. Then he stood sideways by the side of the road and let him pass first.

He walked over and saw the girl's white forehead, bright eyes, and moist lips in the light. What a beautiful girl. If she hadn't encountered a family change, at this moment, she should still be pampered in the boudoir! He suddenly realized his abruptness. No matter what, it seems that he shouldn't have looked at her so unscrupulously, right?

Meng Jiu turned his head, felt a heat on his face, and then cleared his throat in disguise, and said to the girl: "The night is cool, next time you come out, put on an extra piece of clothing!" With that, he strode away.

Zhou Qingyu looked at his distant figure, felt the hint of pity between his words, and felt a slight warmth in his heart.

This Meng Jiu didn't have anything to do with him before, but he should know his life experience. In such a situation, he can still have such a trace of pity, and she feels that it is very rare for her to be accustomed to seeing the warmth and coldness of the world before.

When Meng Jiu's figure walked away, she walked quickly back to An Niang's bedroom.

Cuihuan has already rested serving An Niang. When he saw her, he knew that she was called by his wife, so Cuihuan didn't say much, just handed over a few words to her, and went back to his room to sleep.

She waited for Cuihuan to leave before turning off the lights and lying down alone on the mattress laid out on the footsteps under An Niang's bed.

Although the mattress was very thick, she still felt the stiffness of the wooden planks on her feet, which made her back hurt. After turning over several times in a row, she couldn't sleep.

Or, it can be said that Fang Mingzhu gave her too much stimulation today. Her father's affairs were also her troubles before, but she had always suffered from not having a chance before. When she arrived at the Meng family, she thought it was just a transition. Who knew that now, her fate is actually linked to the Meng family. To be exact, it is connected with the mother of the Meng family.

She had to go to Jiangnan and find the people who sent the Ning family to Beijing back then. Only those people know the truth about Zhao Fengyi. Of course, if things are really the same as the embroidery on the handkerchief of the eldest lady of the Ning family, it is difficult to say whether those people are still in this world.

Still, she's going to give it a try. The justice of this world should be repaid sooner or later.

However, the journey from the capital to Jiangnan is far away, and she is a lonely and weak woman, without any planning, but she is afraid that she will not even be able to get out of the capital.

She thought about it repeatedly on her feet, and thought of several plans in a row, but she rejected them again. Now, her identity is An Niang's girl, which is the biggest obstacle.

It was a helpless move to sell himself to bury his father. It's also about finding a place for yourself. Now she can't just say and leave, otherwise, what's the difference between her and those villains who forget their righteousness?

There is also An Niang, this child is inexplicably in love with herself. said that she had been serving her, but in fact, she had always admired herself. The attitude towards himself is not so much about treating a girl's subordinates as it is about treating a sister. You can't just walk away. She had to give Anniang a reasonable explanation.

In addition, Mrs. Meng, she also has to explain to her well. can not disclose Zhao Feng's affairs, but also have a reasonable reason to leave.

Many difficulties made Zhou Qingyu sleepless all night.

Also not sleeping well is Fang Mingzhu. Her own life experience, after seeing that piece of silk, began to entangle her.

Now she is also thinking about how to verify the truth of what is said on the silk. Although she believes that the above things are true nine times out of ten, it is just that she cannot just jump to conclusions without definite evidence.

The Fang family is where she grew up. Although she was there, she didn't get much warmth and love. However, she is by no means a completely cold-blooded and ruthless person.

She can't be willful, and she can't be willful. If what was said on the silk was true, then she married into the Meng family, and there must not be many people who were loyal to her, and there were even many of Fang Xiangye's eyes and ears, who specially monitored her every move. Although originally, in the Fang Mansion, there were not many people who were loyal to her. However, she didn't know her background before, and these people may never be just an ornament. What she wanted to do was completely different from what she would do now. So these people will not be a threat to her. Now, it's a deadly threat around her.

She couldn't even trust anyone in the Fang Mansion anymore, including Xiaohuan, the personal girl. For Xiaohuan, her feelings are the most contradictory. During the years in Fangfu, Xiaohuan and her were called master and servant, but in fact, their affection was no less than that of sisters. If she said that Xiaohuan would be unfaithful to her or unfavorable to her, she would definitely think it was nonsense. But now, she doesn't think so. It is precisely because Xiaohuan is the closest person around her that she knows her every move best. If Fang Xiangye is suspicious of himself, the first person he will find will definitely be Xiaohuan.

Even if Xiaohuan didn't want to betray her, her parents and relatives were in Fang's mansion, and if Fang Xiangye used this as a threat, it would be difficult for Xiaohuan to resist.

Now, she can't take any risks. Therefore, the most important thing for her to do now is to slowly and quietly turn Xiaohuan away from her side. In doing so, you can not only protect Xiaohuan, but also confuse Fang Xiangye. She didn't want to have a love affair with Xiaohuan for so many years, so it disappeared so easily. Therefore, only Xiaohuan doesn't know the inside story, which is the best protection for her.

Xiaohuan already knows about the hairpin. However, she didn't know what was going on the silk. And the early death of her biological mother is known to everyone in the Fang Mansion. It is precisely because of this that Xiaohuan has always had a sympathetic attitude towards her. Before, out of sympathy, out of righteous indignation at the unjust treatment of her, the fourth lady of the Fang Mansion, so he has always been very loyal to her. Now, if she knew that what she was going to do was unfavorable to the other party's government, and that the other party's grandfather and even her own parents and relatives would cause great harm, would she still be on her side? Fang Mingzhu didn't dare to be sure of Xiaohuan's loyalty, nor did he dare to test people's hearts easily.

When the sky was light, she opened her mouth to call: "Xiaohuan, Xiaohuan!" ”

When she was not married before, Xiaohuan slept on her footrest every day and kept vigil for her. Since arriving at the Meng family, her four big maids, including Xiaohuan, have taken turns sleeping in the cubicle outside her room for vigil. In the past few days, because Meng Yingqi was not at home, Xiaohuan was worried that she was depressed and that there was no one to relieve her of her depression, so she volunteered to keep vigil by her every day.

She has always been the first person by Fang Mingzhu's side, and with her arrangement, the other three girls who were originally used as foils naturally have no objections, and they are also happy.

However, Xiaohuan has always slept more deeply. Unlike Fang Mingzhu, who has always slept lightly, Xiaohuan belongs to the kind of person whose head hits the pillow. And it's easy to wake up. Fang Mingzhu was very tolerant of her before, and sometimes even deliberately watched her sleep carefree and felt her happiness without worries.

At this moment, after calling a few times to no avail, Fang Mingzhu seemed to be annoyed, and the sound of a broken cup sounded in the room.

The voice quickly woke the other girls up. Although they were not on duty at night, the sleeping place was not far from Fang Mingzhu's room, and besides, the Meng family was not big.

An older girl named Zhilan was more stable and clever, and when she heard that the voice was wrong, she immediately got up and came to Fang Mingzhu's house.

"Ma'am, what's the matter?" Out of an abundance of caution, she didn't immediately push the door in. I was afraid that Xiaohuan would be punished by his wife, and I saw that she didn't look good. Moreover, if you go in immediately, you are also suspected of competing for favor.

But he heard Fang Mingzhu's voice: "Laneige, you come in!" ”

Serving tea and pouring water has always been made by Xiaohuan himself. At this moment, the teacups in the wife's house were broken, thinking that Xiaohuan was careless and was reprimanded by his wife. She didn't dare to slack off, and immediately pushed the door in.

Seeing the situation in the house, she couldn't help but be stunned. Fang Mingzhu sat on the bed with his clothes on, one hand holding the other, the hand that was being supported was dripping with blood, obviously cut.

"Madam, what's wrong with you? I'd better hurry up and find you medicine! Laneige's hurried voice was a little sharp.

This sharp voice made the two girls who had a wait-and-see attitude dare not slack off anymore, and they immediately rushed in.

In the midst of the noise, the sleeping little ring was finally awakened. Seeing that the other three girls surrounded Fang Mingzhu and asked long and short questions, she panicked, and she couldn't help but be shocked.

"Madam, what's wrong with you? Why did you all come in? Xiaohuan hurried over.

Seeing the blood on Fang Mingzhu's hand, she was startled. "Madam, why is it bleeding?"

Fang Mingzhu glanced at her and said, "I'm a little thirsty, I called you a few times, but you didn't wake up, so I got up and fell by myself." I accidentally broke the teacup and cut my hand! ”

A few words were said without shame. She immediately knelt down: "It's all slaves who are too careless!" Please punish your wife! ”

Fang Mingzhu did not respond, but instructed Laneige: "The wound medicine is in the box on top of Duobaoge. You take some out and put them away! ”

and assigned two other girls: "Xing'er, you go and fetch a basin of water." Peach, bring me the handkerchief on my dressing table. ”

The three girls listened to Fang Mingzhu's assignment and were busy. Only Xiaohuan, kneeling on the ground, no one paid attention.

Xiaohuan felt embarrassed and aggrieved. My wife used to get up in the middle of the night to pour water by herself. However, she never blamed herself. On those few occasions, she apologized to her, and she smiled and said that it was okay, and she liked to see her lazy cat sleeping position.

This time, I originally intended to worry about the other three girls, afraid that they would not be as attentive as themselves. Who knew that a slap in the face would be in front of people at this time. Those three girls don't know how to laugh at themselves behind their backs!

She didn't dare or thought of blaming Fang Mingzhu, so she had no choice but to blame herself. I blame myself for being bad, why are I so greedy for sleep. I know that my wife is not in a good mood these days, but she still sleeps so deeply!

Tears condensed little by little in her eyes, slowly trickling down the corners of her eyes. She didn't dare to sob, she only dared to wipe it with her sleeve secretly.

Fang Mingzhu saw Xiaohuan's aggrieved description at a glance, and felt a little unbearable in his heart, thinking of his own affairs, he still hardened his heart and pretended not to see it.

After her hand was bandaged, looking at the three girls standing respectfully and solemnly beside her, she said coldly to Xiaohuan: "You are also the old man who serves by my side, and I have always only trusted you." I never thought you would slack off like this. In the future, you should not participate in such things as night duty. Let Laneige, Xing'er, and Peaches be in charge! ”

Xiaohuan didn't dare to argue, only nodded yes. The other three girls, seeing Xiaohuan, who had always been arrogant in front of them, suddenly became so discouraged, they couldn't tell whether they were more happy or more sympathetic.

It seems that Miss Fang Fu, who has always been easy-going and kind, actually has such a cold and ruthless time. Secretly, they are all quietly vigilant, and they will have to be by their wife's side more often in the future, and they can't be taken too lightly.

And facing Laneige, Fang Mingzhu put on a friendly smile again: "Laneige is very good today!" As soon as I made a noise here, she came immediately. It shows that she cares about her own affairs! In the future, Laneige will be in charge of things in my house with Xiaohuan. ”

Laneige couldn't believe his ears. Several of the big girls they married, except for Xiaohuan, the others were temporarily found out by Mrs. Fang's Jiang to deal with them. Originally, in the house, they didn't have much status. It's just that the appearance is passable. Originally, she thought that when she came here, Fang Mingzhu had a small ring, and she would definitely not look at them with her eyes. They just came to work hard, and when they got old, they were just casually matched. Anyway, it was the fate of the past. Who knows, she still has such good luck!

can be the person next to Fang Mingzhu, that status is naturally different from that of ordinary girls, and when she is matched with people in the future, maybe she can also raise it to a higher level. This is a good thing she can't think of!

So she immediately agreed happily and expressed her loyalty: "Madam, if you have any orders, Laneige will try to do it for you!" ”

Fang Mingzhu glanced at her approvingly, nodded and said, "If everyone is so loyal to you, I don't have to worry!" Later, you can accompany me to talk back to the old lady!" After all, you were the first to be there for what happened just now! ”

Lanzhi immediately responded crisply, and began to show Fang Mingzhu to go to Mrs. Meng.

In the morning, Fang Mingzhu did not reject all the clothes and jewelry she chose. Even the hairstyle was personally combed by her for Fang Mingzhu. For a time, Laneige had the posture of replacing Xiaohuan.

Xiaohuan was very unconvinced, but her negligence was real, so she didn't have the face to come to Fang Mingzhu. just silently took over all the usual things of Laneige.
