Long after the army set out, Ximei learned that Xi Cui had gone out of the mansion to meet Yun Jian before he left. The pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info ran to ask angrily, and Xi Cui told her what happened that day very calmly. For this reason, Ximei was in a very irritable mood for the next few days, and had disputes with several little girls in Luju.

Xi Cui was happy to see it, and just took the opportunity to send a few unconscious people out. Without waiting for Liu's reaction, before she arranged for a few more to come in, Mother Qi had already greeted Mother Mu and received a few people from the old lady to fill the vacancy. Because the old lady came forward in this matter, Liu didn't say anything more.

Ximei knew that she was called by Xi Cui in vain and lost her temper again, but she was helpless. Qi's mother was very displeased with Ximei, and wanted to send people away several times, but Xi Cui stopped her, saying that this person would be kept, and Mama Wu would talk about it when she came back. Ximei's deed of sale was given to Mama Wu.

Two months have passed in a flash, and the war in the south is said to have been fought for nearly a month, and the Great Xia court has won a few small victories, but it still loses more and wins less. There was another drought in the north, and Wang Shangshu wanted to go to the disaster area to check, and the time in the court was handed over to Wang Shaoyan to deal with. Wang Shaoyan has already received an official position, and he is the title of the household servant, but he is holding the two major departments of the household department and the official department. The drought seems to be very serious, the household department approved 800,000 taels of silver but the silver sank into the sea, everyone knows how much of this is closely related to the emperor's sister Princess Yong'an and her uncle Ma Lao, but no one dares to intervene to investigate, can only be Wang Shangshu himself.

Speaking of this Yong'an princess, she will definitely implicate the prince, because the prince was brought up by his aunt, and the prince treats his uncle Lao Guo very closely, and often stays in the princess's mansion without staying in the East Palace. The reason why Uncle Lao married the princess but was called Uncle Guo was involved in the prince's life experience. Today's crown prince's own mother is the one who was posthumously named the imperial concubine, whose family name is Lu Lao, and the family is his maternal grandfather. The Lu family has followed the current emperor for generations, and the father of the imperial concubine was unfortunately wiped out, which can be regarded as loyal to the Lord. As a result, the imperial concubine was able to marry the emperor, who had not yet been proclaimed emperor at that time, and went out of the Lao family. Later, she gave birth to the crown prince for the emperor, but she died early. The Lao family was also a powerful family in the previous dynasty, and they were not dissatisfied with the emperor because of the death of the imperial concubine, and still did their best to assist the emperor.

The emperor couldn't leave the Lao family, even if he was pretty, he couldn't be in a hurry to marry someone else, so the prince has been raised by his sister's side. Many years later, the Wang family took refuge in the emperor, and the emperor married the current queen. The two families of the King of Delao helped each other to ascend the throne and become the emperor, and after weighing the repeated royal family to get the queen's throne, although the Lao family only got the uncle of the country who was not rightly named, they kept the title of the prince.

Uncle Lao Guo is not an idle prince, he holds one-third of the military power of the Great Xia Kingdom, one-third of the military power of the world was in the hands of the emperor, one-third was given to the Marquis of Huai'an, and the other one-third was in the hands of Uncle Lao. In addition, he also has a lot of power in the court, most of the people who support the prince on the surface are his people, and there should be others secretly, but even the emperor can't figure out who they are.

Whether this matter is really related to Uncle Lao Guo or not, as long as it is related to him, others will not dare to interfere easily.

Looking at the imperial court, Wang Shangshu can only go out in person.

Seeing that Aunt Yang's delivery date was coming soon, Wang Shangshu could only ask the old lady to take more care of Haitang Garden, but in the end, she was still not worried about Liu.

There are some things in the house, and the men are not unaware of it, but they are too lazy to take care of it. This is even more true for people like Wang Shangshu, the affairs in the court have already made him anxious, where is he still in the mood to take care of the woman in the backyard.

The Wang family wants a large family to sit and eat together, and this year there is no Wang Shangshu, and the Liu family is not too concerned, so they only asked the kitchen to prepare a few more dishes for everyone to go to Ningju.

Xi Cui finally met Aunt Yu of Cuizhuyuan today. I saw her wearing a half-old royal blue silk cotton shirt covering her body, wearing a moonlight brocade skirt inside, embroidered with a few light ink-colored green bamboos on the skirt, with a simple hanging cloud bun on her head, without a little gold and jade, which made her more and more quiet and indifferent. Even the old lady who has been reciting the scriptures in Huangjue Temple for ten years does not have such a dusty temperament as her.

A simple salute, Aunt Yu sat next to Shaoju.

The dishes were all served, and everyone sat down, but they didn't hear the old lady say that the table was open. Because the seat next to Aunt Yu was still vacant, Liu's eyes became colder and colder when he saw the old lady, and he was secretly proud in his heart. Aunt Yang, a fool, relied on herself to be pregnant with the child of the Wang family, but she didn't know how many catties and taels she had. Before, the old man spoiled her and couldn't get her hands, and it was easy for the old man to leave and handed over the Begonia Garden to the old lady, but now it seems that the old man really spoiled this woman to the sky, and even the old lady's face dared not to give it.

Finally, the old lady couldn't help it, and sent Mother Mu behind her to urge people, and then angrily picked up the chopsticks and started the banquet.

Seeing that the old lady didn't want to make a fuss, Liu hurriedly added a fire, "Mother, don't be angry, Sister Yang is just casual, and she is inconvenient to move while pregnant with a child, so she may be delayed on the road." Let's still wait, otherwise we will come and see that we haven't waited for her for fear of being sad and unable to control her temper......"

"Slap ......" the chopsticks in the old lady's hand flung to the table, "Isn't it just pregnant with a child?" You've given birth to three, why haven't you seen you like her? She doesn't take me seriously like this, does she want me to protect her? I'm old, but my temper hasn't been defeated! ”

After a long while, Mother Mu hurried back, and when she returned to the old lady, her words flickered and she hesitated. The old lady was angry, so she knelt on the ground with weak legs, and hurriedly said, "The old lady forgives her sins, Aunt Yang was dressing up when the old slave passed." Huan Huanxi was also urging on the side, but Aunt Yang said that it didn't matter, it would be done when she arrived, and the lord knew what kind of character she was, so he wouldn't blame her. No matter how bad the old lady is, she has to listen to the master, even if she is late for a while, she will find a reason to fool around. When the old slave heard this, he couldn't help but feel angry for his master, so he didn't enter the house and turned back directly. ”

The old lady stood up suddenly, pointed to the door and trembled with anger, "Is this like a word?" A little aunt dares to be so unruly! She had forgotten that she was just a minion! This is going to make her give birth to the child in her belly, and she can't tell how the tail will be cocked! I don't care, I can't protect his aunt! After the old lady finished speaking, she didn't eat anymore, and trembled and helped Mother Mu into the inner room.

Liu looked at everyone, although his face was not obvious, he was still smiling secretly in his heart. She has long seen that Aunt Yang is uncomfortable, and since this woman has been favored, she has added a lot of obstacles to herself. Wang Shaoyan was not in good health, so she was really afraid that the one in her belly would be born, but now it is different, Wang Shaoyan's body is already very good, and she was born just a concubine, and she can't shake her son's status at all. Therefore, she has already changed her strategy, and she has been letting go of Begonia Garden in the past few months, and it is safest to find a way to keep her mother and child when she gives birth.

She knows the master's temperament best, and her love for Aunt Yang is nothing more than wanting to have another child, as long as she can keep that child, he won't care about the life or death of an aunt. In this way, she will not have a dislike with the master, and she can bring her child over and take it with her, and if she is trained well, she may be able to help Wang Shaoyan in the future.

It was a good opportunity for her to leave the house, but she didn't want the old lady to suddenly stretch out her hand to the Begonia Garden. I thought that it would take some trouble to do this, but I didn't expect Aunt Yang, a fool, to offend the old lady by herself. Now that the old lady has stopped, isn't her Aunt Yang still letting herself take care of it?

Although Xi Cui didn't know what Liu was thinking, she knew at least one thing, that is, Aunt Yang was looking for death. It seems that she has been looking for death since she first saw this woman, and she almost pulled Yun Ting's back last time, who are you going to drag this time?

Several people sat silently, and the meal in front of them was neither eaten nor eaten.

Aunt Yang appeared at this time, looked at the people who had already started, and pointed at Liu with her eyebrows but didn't say a word for a long time. Only then did Xi Cui realize that the two maids beside her looked exactly the same. But which one was the last time I saw him?

Just when she was bothering to think about such an innocuous little thing, Aunt Yang had already snorted angrily and shook her sleeves away, and Huan Huanxi hurriedly followed. Xi Cui clearly saw that one of them glanced at him more.

Back in the open house, someone in the main room was waiting for Xi Cui to return to the side courtyard early. Pushing open the door of his room before the lights were lit, the room was pitch black, and suddenly someone tapped him on the shoulder twice, and Xi Cui was frightened. Standing still without moving, the atmosphere did not dare to come out.

I heard a low chuckle coming from behind me, and then the lights were lit and the room was lit. The person who came stood in front of Xi Cui, dressed as a pink maid, was one of the people who followed Aunt Yang today, but the two faces were exactly the same, and Xi Cui couldn't figure out which one was in front of her.

And so it was! Xixi said that you are really like a little girl only when you are afraid, and you are too heavy on weekdays to make people unpredictable. As he spoke, he sat down on the round pier in front of Xi Cui, "I'm Huanhuan." ”

"Why are you in my house?" Xi Cui wanted to stay as calm as possible, but her voice couldn't help but be a little hoarse. What did this girl just say? She only does this when she's scared? She also knows what she looks like on weekdays? Could it be that she has been following her all the time, and she doesn't even realize it?

"My skills are free to come and go in your open house, okay?" Huan Huan triumphantly poured herself a cup of tea and put it to her lips.

Even if you're good, you don't want to visit here, right? We don't know each other very well, do we? Xi Cui said secretly. Wait, if she has that kind of skill, why is she showing up today? Xi Cui couldn't help but think of the broken jade bracelet, it seemed that she had come to collect debts.

"Aunt Yang asked me to come over and ask you, did you still like that bracelet last time?" Huanhuan smiled and drank tea, and his eyes turned to Xi Cui evilly. You know the truth of the matter at a glance.

I want to throw all that scum back at you, okay? Xi Cui squeezed his palm fiercely, but he still had a smile on his face, "How can you not like such a good thing, my sister has to thank Aunt Yang for my sister." ”

"Hehe...... "You can really pretend!" Huanhuan smiled and put down the teacup, "You don't say this, we all understand." My sister is here to tell you that last time was just a meeting gift, and there will be big gifts in the future. Sister, just wait patiently. Oh, there's one more thing, my aunt will deal with what happened tonight, sister, don't interfere, just skim it cleanly. After saying that, he stood up, clapped his hands, and said to himself, "I really don't like to climb the window, especially since the window of your house is so small!" ”

Xi Cui had a cold face, she didn't want to look at her, she didn't want to climb the window? If you have the ability, you can go out so openly! Who is in a hurry to see the time! Then she heard a sound, and when she turned around, Huanhuan was gone.

The person is gone, but Xi Cui can hear it clearly. She doesn't care about the gift or not, the bracelet last time has benefited her a lot, and it's not good for Aunt Yang to get on it. Didn't you let her interfere? It just so happened that their thoughts on this matter were surprisingly consistent, she never wanted to interfere, and she didn't have the ability to do it.

The old lady was so angry with Aunt Yang that the manpower arranged in Haitang Garden was withdrawn at that time. Early the next morning, Mu's mother came to Yun Ting, saying that the old lady was so angry that she couldn't eat, and wanted to see if Yun Ting could get some new snacks to send over. Yun Ting was idle, and immediately entered the small kitchen. In less than an hour, she took Xi Cui to Ningju.

In the middle of chatting, a little girl ran in in a panic, and almost fell down when she crossed the threshold. Mother Mu saw it from a distance and scolded, "What are you doing in a panic?" I don't know if the old lady is in a bad mood? ”

The maid didn't seem to care about Mother Mu's tantrum, ran to the old lady in a few steps, knelt down with a puff, and said tremblingly, "Old lady, Aunt Yang gave birth, but ...... But, but the little master, the little master is dead, dead......"

The old lady stood up, and the crutches in her hand poked the ground with a clang, "Tell me when you gave birth?" Why did you die? Or a young master? "I was about to fall down, but fortunately, Mother Mu helped her up.

"It was launched in the middle of the night last night, Aunt Yang didn't dare to come to the old lady and could only send someone to find the lady, the lady had already given birth when she passed, and she was dead at that time." The maid's face was pressed against the floor, as if she was afraid that she would not be able to support her head on her shoulder.

"Go to Begonia Garden!" After the old lady finished speaking, she rushed to Begonia Garden, Yun Ting also had to follow, Xi Cui wanted to hold her, but how could she stop her at this time?

The group went to Begonia Garden in a hurry. As soon as I entered the door, I heard the wails of joy and joy, and Aunt Yang was lying on the bloodstained delivery bed, her face was pale, her lips were closed but only tears.

Seeing the old lady, a trace of panic flashed in Liu's eyes, "Mother is finally here, if you look like this, if the old man comes back, ......

"Are you scared now? Why weren't you afraid when I asked someone to beg you last night? I think you did it on purpose! Since I was pregnant with him, you wanted to hurt him, before the old man protected me, you didn't have a chance, the old man left, in order to achieve the goal, you provoked the old lady to misunderstand me, the old lady just let go, you can't wait! If you hadn't deliberately delayed and not called the midwife, why would I have given birth to a stillborn baby? He is also the flesh and blood of the master, how can you do it? Aunt Yang was holding her body strongly, her eyes were full of tears, and Yun Ting couldn't help crying when she looked at her.

After a while, the brothers and sisters of the Wang family came, and Wang Shaoyan waited outside because he was a man and could not enter the delivery room. The sisters of the Wang family looked at a baby who had already turned black and blue next to the blood-stained bed, and couldn't help but gasp and look at Liu coldly. Liu Shi looked at his children, a chill swept over his bones, and he couldn't help but take a few steps back, "What do you mean by looking at me with this look?" Do you believe her? I'm your mother! Are you going to turn away from me because of this woman? Who am I working so hard for? ”

I don't know what others think, Xi Cui suddenly felt that what Liu said was true, and she was probably really designed by Aunt Yang. But now that they are treated like this by their own children, they can't complain about them, Wang Shangshu's backyard has two aunts, two people who have a room, but after so many years, there is no child who has been born in the house, even if there is, he can't keep it, and he can see something if he has no brains. has those children who didn't survive before, as long as something happens to this one, it will definitely have nothing to do with her.

"Liu! Don't say that I don't care about people, I'll give you a chance to explain this! The old lady turned around and walked out of the delivery room, sat down, and looked coldly at Liu standing in front of her, "Is what Aunt Yang said true?" ”

"I said it's not my mother, but do you want to believe it?" Liu had not yet recovered from his children's resentful gaze, and his heart was empty and unintentional.

"I'm giving you a chance to explain! What kind of attitude do you have! The crutches in the old lady's hand pierced the ground again, and everyone was frightened, but Liu's face did not change.

"The old lady is eccentric with her! Why didn't I go to Ningju last night, but you didn't give me half a chance to explain, and you just got disgusted with me! Don't say that I didn't mean it at the time, even if it was intentional, it was just a trick, but today she made such a big mistake, and the old lady still has such patience to listen to her explanation? In the old lady's heart, the child at my feet who never even cried is not your grandson? Without waiting for Liu to speak, Aunt Yang's hysterical voice came from the delivery room.

Xi Cui thought that she must die with the Liu family? How much hatred does this woman have with the Liu family, so hated that she even wants to use her own children? Not only the child, but even her own life and death she has completely disregarded, it seems that as long as she can hurt the Liu family, she is willing to hurt the enemy 800 and lose 1,000.

The old lady looked at the delivery room and said in a much softened tone, "Don't worry, I know you're angry." But in the end, she is the wife of your lord, and she is in charge of the middle feed of the house, how can she be condemned because of a few words of indignation? After saying these words, the old lady seemed to feel a little inappropriate, and immediately changed the topic, "You better have a good rest, it's important to keep your body, you are still young, the child is gone, and if you hurt your body, it will be really over......"
