Chapter 229: Suspicion

The Huan family is also the old lady today, and brought the eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Yi, and the second daughter-in-law, Mrs. Man, and Yunhui personally led them to the flower hall.

Mrs. Man didn't go in with her, she pulled Yun Hui aside to talk, and after chatting for a while, she asked her in a low voice, "The two maids I recommended to you last time, are they okay?" ”

Yun Hui's expression was a little unnatural, "The person you recommended is naturally good, and I arranged for the two of them to be in the Jade Building." …… But you also know that it is naturally not good for him to take a concubine immediately when he first got married, otherwise our princess will be disgraced. ”

Mrs. Man smiled and said yes, but she was a little puzzled in her heart. She originally saw that Yunhui and Jinyi were not in harmony, so she picked the two best maids in the family and sent them, and wanted to arrange them by Sima Yulou's side with Yunhui's hand, seeing that she also had to take care of Jinyi's attitude, she no longer mentioned it, and instead praised the garden, "The concubine has not feasted for many years, and the garden in your house is neatly tied, I heard that your mansion ordered a lot of flowers in the flower field a few days ago, could it be that these flowers have just been planted?" ”

Yunhui is a down-to-earth character, although she is still a little tired of Jinyi in her heart, she refuses to lose her credit, pouts and says: "Our princess's ability to plant flowers is extraordinary, and this garden is not what she cleaned up in the past few days." ”

She felt uncomfortable, chatted with Mrs. Man for a few more words, and said, "You go shopping first, and I'll come to accompany you later." ”

Mrs. Man smiled and nodded, and after she left, she looked at Jin Yi in front of the dazzle hall with a complicated expression, she had originally had the idea of taking Jin Yi for her own use, but she didn't expect that she would become Princess Chuchen in half a year, which is really unpredictable.

Mrs. Man entered a pavilion and sat down to rest, a maid served tea, she took the teacup and opened it to see that it was Shifeng Longjing, and then put it down.

The eldest maid behind her, Tongxi, asked the maid kindly, "Is there any other drink?" Our wife has been taking medicine for the past two days, and it is inconvenient to drink tea. ”

The maid hurriedly squatted down and saluted: "The slave doesn't know that Madame is unwell, please forgive Madame." There were also several drinks in the kitchen,......"

Mrs. Man waved her hand and instructed Tongxi, "You can go with her and have a look." ”

Tongxi agreed, and followed the maid to the small kitchen behind the flower hall.

A noble lady dressed in a silver vermilion bat-patterned summer dress came to the willows with flowers, and smiled at Mrs. Man, who was sitting in the pavilion, from a distance: "Madame is really interested, sit here and enjoy the coolness, let me find it." ”

The person who came was round and white-skinned, and his body was a little fat, he was the wife of Luo Hai, the squire of the Ministry of War, known as Mrs. Rong, Luo Hai was only a captain in the army in the past, and was appreciated by the Zhenguo Gong Huan Court, and was gradually promoted to the post of the squire of the Ministry of War.

Mrs. Man only smiled at her casually, and beckoned her to come and sit together, "This garden is full of flowers and leaves, but it is very cool, after all, it is the establishment of the palace, and the territory is big enough, and it is a little stronger than our garden." ”

Mrs. Rong heard the meaning of her words, and praised the garden of Huan Mansion with a few words of flattery, and when she heard that the flowers and trees in this dark incense garden were planted by Princess Chuchen for a few days, she considered the meaning of Mrs. Man, and whispered:

"I heard some secret news, this princess is really not simple, I heard that she was at home when she was at home with Mrs. Qingrong Marquis, and then somehow, her stepmother was locked up, and it didn't take long for her to die mysteriously, but the Qingrong Marquis Mansion did not mourn in a big way, only moved the funeral to the suburbs of Zhuangzi, and it was done without a sound."

When Mrs. Man heard this, she looked a little suspicious and asked, "Where did you hear that?" ”

Mrs. Rong smiled proudly, "Qin Zhiwu, the eldest lord of the Qingrong Marquis Mansion, set up his own door a few days ago and moved out of the Hou Mansion, and now he is working under our lord, and his wife often goes to our house to walk around, these things are what she said." ”

Mrs. Man nodded: "I have seen in the past that the princess is at odds with her stepmother and sister-in-law, think about the things that have happened to the Qin family in the past few months, isn't it that these two people are so angry, is it that the princess has planned it all by herself?" ”

Mrs. Rong's round face showed some mystery, and she waved her hand to signal the people behind her to go outside the pavilion to guard, and when Mrs. Man saw this, she knew that she still had something to say, so she also asked her people to withdraw from the pavilion.

After only the two of them were left, Mrs. Rong lowered her voice and said: "I heard that Mrs. Qin say that Mrs. Qingrong was pregnant before she died, I don't know what Qin Jinyi slandered her grandmother and father, and she didn't even care about her children, and died inexplicably the next day, which is really strange." ”

Mrs. Man muttered, "There is no rumor about this matter at all, and Mrs. Qin is spreading her own secrets like this, I'm afraid there is another hidden secret." ”

"I see that when Mrs. Qin talked about the princess, her tone was a little slurred, and she seemed to have a grudge against her, otherwise even if their family is now on its own, there is no need to deliberately say this to discredit the Qingrong Marquis Mansion. …… She also told me that the princess not only knows medicine and poison, but also seems to know some kung fu. ”

Mrs. Man frowned, thought for a moment, and said slowly: "Then this princess's ability is a little too big, there are also a few people from Shang Xiutang in the palace, I haven't heard of anyone who is proficient in all the skills like her, she is not very old, how can she learn so many skills in less than ten years, Shang Xiutang can't still teach martial arts, right?" ”

Mrs. Rong said: "Lord Xu's family in the Ministry of Officials raised a new concubine last year, who was born in Shang Xiutang in the past, and was a female official in the palace for several years, and was released from the palace at the end of age. Although the female officials are all skilled, they don't have such great ability, otherwise how dare Mrs. Xu keep such a person at home. ”

As he was talking, Tongxi came back with a vermilion lacquer painted gold tea tray in his hand, and when he saw that the people were standing outside the pavilion, he didn't dare to approach.

Mrs. Mann beckoned her to come in.

Tongxi gently put down the teacup on the plate, leaned over and whispered a few words in Mrs. Man's ear.

Mrs. Man bowed her head and was silent, after all, it was only a few days, and the two of them couldn't find anything useful, but the two floors above the Lingxi Tower did not allow people to enter this matter,...... Could it be that Qin Jinyi really hid something secret?

Her heart moved, and she said to Mrs. Rong: "You go to Lord Xu's house in a few days and ask that aunt about Shang Xiutang." …… I also think that the origin of this princess is a bit mysterious. ”

Luo Hai asked him to pay more attention to the affairs of Chuchen Palace, and Mrs. Rong had already guessed that this was what Old Man Huan meant, and her family had always been attached to the Huan family, so after listening to Mrs. Man's explanation, she nodded and agreed.

Mrs. Man didn't care about the affairs of the Qingrong Marquis Mansion, but since she first saw Jinyi, she had been inexplicably wary of her, and when she thought of the old lady explaining that she had befriended the ladies of the palace, she felt a little bottomless. (To be continued.) )
