==Chapter 47==

As soon as she came back, she was faced with this situation, Han Yunniang didn't know what the situation was, and Xiao Nan was brought out by the county lord of Chaoxia again.

Jiuniang didn't care that the county lord of Chaoxia used Xiao Nan to deal with herself, to put it bluntly, she would at most let Xiao Nan deal with herself, but Jiu Niang had already broken off with this sister, or she would humiliate Xiao Nan in front of her in order to achieve the purpose of insulting her.

This qiē Jiuniang is not afraid, to deal with such a method, as long as he can stick to his heart and be indifferent, he can be invulnerable.

Jiuniang is worried about Han Yunniang, after all, Han Yunniang was dead in the previous life, will the old things still be repeated in this life. If Han Yunniang also dies in this life, can Xiao Yu bear it?

Jiu Niang could see the anxiety hidden under Shi Niang's calm face, and she opened her mouth to persuade: "Don't worry about it first, let's think of a way after we go back." ”

The two of them went all the way back to Cuiyun Pavilion, and at this point on the road, the two of them almost figured out what to do next.

The most important thing to do at present is to inquire about Han Yunniang's current situation, and then slowly figure it out.

But how do you ask? Let's not mention that Jiu Niang has no foundation, and Shi Niang has left for the past two years, and the foundation laid before has long been gone. Therefore, it is not possible to say that you do not have your own foundation in a house, first of all, you are not well-informed enough, and you have a feeling that you are unable to do what you want to do.

There are loyal maidservants around the two of them, but they are all brought from Lanling, and loyalty is guaranteed, but these people are unfamiliar with the environment in the Anguo Mansion, there are advantages and disadvantages, and they always complement each other, don't underestimate a subordinate, many times this kind of untraceable fighting in the backyard needs to be done by the hands of these subordinates.

Jiu Niang couldn't help but set her eyes on Lianzhi, Lianzhi nodded understandingly, and went out.

Lianzhi can also be regarded as the origin of the Xiao family's servant family, but unfortunately there are no powerful people in the family, most of them are ordinary subordinates, but its advantage is that it is intertwined, although it is in the lower echelons of the Anguo Mansion, it is also a force that cannot be ignored.

Lianzhi went out for a long time before coming back, and the news she brought back was not good, and she didn't get too much detailed information with her family's connections. I only know that Han Yunniang is indeed in Chongyue Pavilion now, and it seems that she is sick.

This news suddenly made Shi Niang jump, she couldn't help herself not to associate it, but the more she thought about it, the more frightened she felt.

"Ninth sister, thank you for the news, I'll go back first."

Shi Niang also knew that this was the only thing Jiu Niang could do at present, the two had just come back, there were no connections, and the county lord of Chaoxia showed that kind of strength, both of them were suffering from internal and external troubles, and they were anxious. Maybe it may not be who will kill the deer in the future, but now she can't wait.

Dropping this sentence, Shi Niang hurriedly walked out of Cuiyun Pavilion.

Jiu Niang stretched out her hand to stop her, but she didn't know what to say for a while, so she could only hurriedly say to Ruhua, if Shi Niang had any changes, let Ruhua send someone over to deliver the message, so as not to make any unwise moves.

Ruhua also knew the clue to this, nodded and hurriedly followed behind Shi Niang.

Being beaten passively is the only feeling that Jiu Niang has now.

But now that the entire Xiao family has conceded three points to the county lord of Chaoxia, how can she shake the big Buddha of the county lord of Chaoxia? Even in her previous life, she relied on the oppression of all forces to put the lord of Chaoxia to death.

And now what she lacks most is news, all kinds of news, especially the general situation in the court.

This couldn't help but make her think of King Chu again......

Inside the Chongyue Pavilion

The ornate hall is brightly lit, and maidservants come and go with red lacquered and gold-painted trays in their hands, passing on all kinds of delicacies.

Everyone had a smile on their faces, all because Xiao Wulangjun stayed in Chongyue Pavilion for dinner today.

On the huge curved foot table, there are all kinds of dishes, which are dazzling, and a large table is Xiao Hang's favorite dishes. The county lord of Chaoxia said with a smile while sandwiching the dishes into Xiao Hang's plate: "It's rare that you come to Chongyue Pavilion to eat today, I specially asked the cook to prepare a lot of dishes you like to eat, as well as your favorite pine mash wine." ”

Xiao Hang was silent, just pinching the wine cup and constantly pouring wine into his mouth.

Compared with more than two years ago, Xiao Hang has changed a lot now.

The world-famous Qing'an layman, who always faces the world with a chic and uninhibited face, Xiao Hang, the fifth gentleman of the Xiao family, is now a little more depressed and decadent between his eyebrows. But these do not erase his demeanor, but add a bit of charm to it.

A strange light flashed in the eyes of the county lord of Chaoxia, and he filled Xiao Hang's cup with wine, Xiao Hang did not refuse, the corners of his mouth were reluctantly pulled, and he picked up the toothbrush and grabbed the food in the chopsticks and plate, and fed it to his mouth.

A dinner was extremely dull, and those dishes that Xiao Hang loved to eat couldn't keep his eyes, but it was the wine in the wine cup that made him look at him a little differently.

Even so, the lord of Chaoxia was also full of smiles, and after dinner, the two of them rinsed their mouths and cleaned their hands under the service of the maidservant, and the maidservant served hot tea.

The county lord of Chaoxia smiled and said: "I don't know if Liulang is awake, this little ancestor can't wake up during the day, and he always makes trouble at night." Nurse, you tell someone to go and see, and if Rokuro wakes up, bring him over. ”

"Yes."

Speaking of his son Liulang, Xiao Hang, who had been silent and in a trance, changed his expression slightly.

After a short time, Li returned, followed by a woman dressed as a nurse and holding a young child in her hand. This toddler is more than a year old, with big eyes, snow-white and cute, judging from the outline, it looks like Xiao Hang.

A touch of warmth flashed in Xiao Hang's eyes, and he couldn't help but say, "Liulang seems to have gained some weight." ”

Lord Chaoxia smiled proudly, took his son from the nurse's hand, and said, "Liulang's meal is getting longer, and he has indeed gained a lot of weight." ”

The husband and wife talked about Liulang, and only Liulang could lead Xiao Hang to talk more to herself, which was known to the lord of Chaoxia County, but she didn't care.

During this period, the county lord of Chaoxia also handed Liulang to Xiao Hang and asked him to hug him, but unfortunately Liulang was very unfamiliar with this always drunken daddy, and he didn't want Xiao Hang.

The sigh in Xiao Hang's heart, no one knows. After a while, he adjusted his expression before he said in a low voice: "Shi Niang has also returned from Lanling now, and he and Yun Niang have not seen each other for a long time, and the family relationship between mother and daughter is always inseparable, do you want them to meet?" ”

After hearing this, the county lord of Chaoxia, who was originally smiling, immediately stiffened, and she reluctantly pulled the corners of her lips: "Why did Xiao Lang mention this?" But Shi Niang went to you to complain? ”

Without waiting for Xiao Hang's words, she said again: "I was originally a good intention, but now it seems that I am a little mean, and so is this Shi Niang, this kind of thing comes directly to me, the mother, how can I still find you." Those who know know that I am a good heart, and those who don't know still treat me as a mean concubine. She has just come back from Lanling, and it has only been less than a day, so she made such a fuss, where did I put my mother-in-law? ”

The expression of the county lord of Chaoxia became excited, as if there was infinite grievance. It stands to reason that what she said is not wrong, Han Yunniang is in Chongyue Pavilion, if Shi Niang wants to see her, she should come to find the county lord of Chaoxia, and should not go past her to find Xiao Hang, so as not to be suspected of provoking.

It's just that the county lord of Chaoxia is a person who can be looked at with common sense, who doesn't know that she is Sima Zhao's heart, everyone knows it, but the key is that Xiao Hang doesn't know.

In the past two years or so, the county lord of Chaoxia has changed a lot, at least in front of Xiao Hang's eyes.

In the past, when I saw Han Yunniang, she never had eyes or noses, but after this change, before Han Yunniang was sick, it was the county lord of Chaoxia who offered to take her to Chongyue Pavilion to take care of her. Xiao Hang also wondered if the county lord of Chaoxia was just doing a show, and he had also been to see it many times, and saw that Han Yunniang's house was gorgeously decorated, all the materials were of the highest quality, and there were many maids and servants waiting around him, not to mention that since he was sick, the county lord of Chaoxia asked her for medical advice every once in a while, and the best medicinal materials were thrown on his body without hesitation, but it was a pity that Han Yunniang's own body was not angry, and the doctor also said that he could only recuperate.

There is also Xiao Nan, who couldn't mention it in front of the county lord of Chaoxia in the past, but this time she also took the initiative to take it out of the courtyard, although the rules of the house could not be broken, and she was also arranged by Xiao Liuniang's side, and the treatment was only one level worse than that of Liuniang.

The county lord of Chaoxia said that although she is a little jealous, she is not to blame for what has happened, and these two people have a constant relationship with Xiao Hang, even if she is sour and unbearable in her heart, she admits it.

Regarding the change of the county lord of Chaoxia, Xiao Hang seemed to see a heinous person put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha on the spot, which made him shocked and suspicious. However, due to the pressure of the family and the responsibilities borne by the children of the family, he had to give in, and the change of the county lord of Chaoxia seemed to make his submission less uncomfortable.

In the past two years, although there is still a gap in Xiao Hang's heart, the relationship between husband and wife has eased a lot, and there is Liulang, a sister-in-law, who has a lubricating effect in the meantime, Xiao Hang's impression of him has gradually changed.

Maybe she is so temperamental, she can't rub sand in her eyes, and she has been spoiled since she was a child, so there will always be a stalemate between husband and wife. Now that she is older, she has also begun to understand that she is willing to change things, and she is not without mistakes in this, Xiao Hang is not an intolerable character.

Listening to the grievances of the county lord of Chaoxia, Xiao Hang was also a little confused in his heart.

Before, because of Xiao Shi Niang's crying, he was estranged, and he also wondered if the county lord of Chaoxia had any purpose, but now after listening to this reasoning, he complained that Shi Niang was making a fuss. After all, her daughter is her own daughter, and Xiao Hang can't bear to blame, so he explained a few words for Shi Niang, although the county lord of Chaoxia still has grievances on his face, he didn't say anything in the end.

After saying that, Xiao Hang stood up, and the county lord of Chaoxia couldn't help but say, "Isn't Xiao Lang resting in Chongyue Pavilion today?" ”

Xiao Hang's face was a little cramped, and he replied: "I went back to Taoranju, and there was a painting that was only half painted, and I promised to give it to the other party tomorrow." ”

The county lord of Chaoxia didn't say anything more, gave Rokuro to the Li family, and sent him to the door.

Xiao Hang nodded to her and left in a hurry.

Looking at the figure that had disappeared into darkness from a distance, the county lord of Chaoxia snorted coldly, and then turned around and returned to the house with a cold face. Seeing his complexion, the maids waiting for him were all holding their breath. Liulang is still young, but his feelings are extremely keen, and when he saw that A-Niang looked bad, he looked like he wanted to cry.

The county lord of Chaoxia twisted his eyebrows and said to the nurse of Liulang on the side: "Carry Xiao Langjun back to the room." ”

The nurse hurriedly lowered her head and took Liulang from Li's hand and left in a hurry.

"Nurse, did you see that? He's still worried about these two sluts, one big and one small! ”

Li Shi groaned: "After all, it is his own flesh and blood, and it is understandable that Lang Jun will be like this." ”

"That little slut still wants to sow discord!"

"The county lord did a very good job, don't you see that Lang Jun didn't say anything? Shi Niangzi is stealing chickens and rice, it is estimated that Lang Jun will complain, if there is such a move next time, Lang Jun will probably not speak for her. ”

The county lord of Chaoxia smiled proudly, "The county lord of tomorrow will let them meet, and I will see if she has anything else to say." ”

*

As soon as Xiao Jiuniang heard that the maid from Jingxinzhai came to spread the word, saying that Shi Niang knew that it was going to be bad when she went to Taoranju.

But Shi Niang is not her after all, and it is not her aunt who is pinched in the hands of the county lord of Chaoxia, and it is natural for her to be a daughter to find out what the situation of her biological mother is, but she should not interfere more.

Sure enough, when she bathed and was ready to rest, flowers came.

It was Shi Niang who sent her here, and there was only one sentence, saying that Daddy had changed. Jiuniang asked Ruhua about the whole process carefully, and then she understood the inner situation.

It turned out that as Jiu Niang thought, Shi Niang's actions were a little hasty, but this impatient mentality was understandable, after all, the county lord of Chaoxia had a bad record, and the two of them avoided trouble before. Xiao Shi Niang left, but Han Yunniang was still in this mansion, and Shi Niang was worried that the county lord of Chaoxia would be angry with Han Yun Niang. When she came back this time, she didn't see her mother, and she learned that Han Yunniang had been moved to Chongyue Pavilion, which made her heart seem to be roasted on the fire, so it was conceivable that she would ask Xiao Hang for help.

went to Tao Ranju and cried, Xiao Hang also looked angry. But when I went to Chongyue Pavilion and came back, I reprimanded Shi Niang, who was waiting in Tao Ranju. In fact, it is not a reprimand, but the words are a little harsh, but Xiao Hang has always been good to Shi Niang, and this harsh words are no less than earth-shattering changes.

Shi Niang got what she wanted, but she was worried about Daddy's change in her heart, so she would send Ruhua to Cuiyun Pavilion.

This qiē is not as Hua said, but it is pieced together by Jiu Niang according to some words and phrases spoken by Ruhua, although it is not in the middle and not far away, it probably restores the whole process of things.

Judging from the situation of seeing the county lord of Chaoxia today, plus this whole thing, the county lord of Chaoxia has indeed changed a lot, at least her change seems to have changed Xiao Hang's perception of her.

Things are getting more and more tricky, some things in this life are much different from the previous life, and the Chaoxia County Lord in the previous life has never changed even if he dies. And there was no birth of Liulang in the previous life, which is the reason why Jiuniang is taboo.

Jiu Niang explained a few words to Ruhua, probably asking her to go back and appease Shi Niang more, so that Shi Niang should not act rashly and wait for the follow-up development.

Now the situation is unknown, and we can only look at the follow-up development to have a clue.

*

The next day, Jiu Niang and Shi Niang first went to An Rong Yuan to ask for peace, and then went to Chongyue Pavilion.

After asking for peace, the county lord of Chaoxia repeated yesterday's words to Xiao Hang with a somewhat annoyed face. It is probably a reprimand for Shi Niang who should not cross herself, and there are words that are suspected of provoking.

Shi Niang was trained to be disgraced, but she could only accept it silently. From the perspective of righteousness, her actions yesterday were indeed a little inappropriate, and it is reasonable for the county lord of Chaoxia to reprimand her with this.

After some reprimands, the county lord of Chaoxia did not take the opportunity to punish Shi Niang, but asked people to take him to see Han Yunniang. Jiu Niang also wanted to find out, so she went with Shi Niang.

Han Yunniang now lives in a small cross-courtyard behind Chongyue Pavilion, the courtyard is not big, and the main house is only three, but the environment is quite elegant. Along the way, I saw that the carved beams and paintings were magnificent, this is the consistent style of the lord of Chaoxia, and the Chongyue Pavilion has always been more gorgeous than the courtyard next to it.

Entering the house, there are several maidservants waiting, and all the furnishings and utensils are of the highest quality, and it can be seen that Han Yunniang lives here and is treated well. When she arrived in the inner room, Han Yunniang was lying on the couch, her face was pale and thin. This already thin woman now seems to have only a handful of bones left. Even when Shi Niang and the two came in, she didn't feel it, and she didn't open her eyes until a maidservant stepped forward and called softly.

"A-Niang-"

Shi Niang rushed to the edge of the couch, knelt there with a plop, and howled and cried while holding Han Yunniang's hand.

"Yu'er, is Yu'er back?"

"A-Niang, it's Yu'er, Yu'er is back."

With the support of the maidservant, Han Yunniang sat up, her eyes were blurred with tears, and she couldn't cry.

“…… How did you get back...... But it's time to come back......"

The mother and daughter cried for a while before they finally stopped.

"A-Niang, how are you doing in the past two years? Why did you lose so much weight, and your illness, what the hell is going on? ”

Han Yunniang's eyes flickered for a moment, and then said with a smile: "A-Niang is very good, the county lord is very concerned about A-Niang, and when he saw that I was sick, he moved me here to recuperate carefully...... A-Niang's disease...... Actually, it's nothing, the doctor said that it's good to recuperate. ”

Is it?

Looking at the few maidservants standing with their heads bowed on the side, Shi Niang swallowed this question back into her stomach.

As if seeing her daughter's hesitation, Han Yunniang held Shi Niang's hand and said, "You don't have to worry about A-Niang, A-Niang is very good here, as long as you are well, A-Niang will be relieved." ”

After another conversation between the mother and daughter, a maidservant girl stepped forward and said that Han Yunniang couldn't work hard now, and the doctor told her to rest more. Shi Niang had to leave reluctantly, and Han Yunniang watched her daughter leave with a smile.

Jiu Niang and Shi Niang left Chongyue Pavilion, and the two were very silent on the way back.

Now this situation is a person who can see the clues, recuperation is fake, careful waiting is also fake, these are all made for Xiao Hang to see, by the way, Shi Niang's weakness is pinched in his hand, and she will be asked for in the future.

"Ninth sister, although my aunt used to be thin and weak, her body was very good."

It wasn't until Cuiyun Pavilion that Shi Niang, who had been silent for a long time, said so. This sentence popped out word by word, and she clenched her fists tightly, even if her nails pierced her palms, she didn't realize it.

"I know." There was a light sigh in Jiu Niang's voice.

Although she didn't know what the situation was like in her previous life, it was probably nothing more than that.

Things have come full circle, and it seems to have returned to the original trajectory again, didn't the county lord of Chaoxia in the previous life also pinch Han Yunniang to make Xiao Yu against him? Could it be that in this life, the old things will repeat themselves? After the two had a love affair for nearly three years, they had to care about each other and turn into a hostile posture again?

Jiu Niang glanced at Shi Niang deeply, but unfortunately Shi Niang was only immersed in her own thoughts and did not notice this qiē.

*

Regarding how the house arranged for herself and others, Xiao Jiuniang didn't know.

However, the tricks on the side of the county lord of Chaoxia have been unfolded in an endless stream. In the past two days, Cuiyun Pavilion has had one more uninvited guest, and that is Xiao Nan.

Every day, Xiao Nan would come to Cuiyun Pavilion to ask to see Jiu Niang, but unfortunately Jiu Niang did not see her.

After returning from Lanling, she was faced with one play after another, probably because the leisurely days in Lanling had been too long, and Jiuniang had a sense of disgust in her heart. It may also be that the situation in this life is different from the previous life after all, and she suddenly hates this kind of perfunctory.

She didn't want to be perfunctory, and she didn't bother to do the show. If you don't see it, you don't see it, and you can say whatever others like to say.

As Xiao Nan came to Cuiyun Pavilion again and again, but always returned with tears, rumors began to spread in the house.

There was a lot of discussion up and down, saying that Jiu Niangzi had no sisterhood at all, but her own sister was lowly, but she had the title of county lord, so she regarded her as a shit. On the contrary, the six ladies who have always felt rude and willful have a pure heart, and take Xiao Nan with her every day and treat her as a sister. Even the county lord of Chaoxia has received some praise, saying that the county lord is merciful, but it is a pity that some people do not appreciate it.

Many people in the house have heard these rumors, but it is a pity that they are taboo and do not make a statement.

Soon, this rumor reached Xiao Hang's ears.

Xiao Hang didn't believe it, but one day he saw Xiao Nan who had returned from Cuiyun Pavilion in vain. Xiao Nan was very panicked, and she wanted to cover up, but she was told by the maid next to her that she had leaked her mouth, which caused Xiao Hang's monstrous anger.

Xiao Hang came to Cuiyun Pavilion and questioned Jiu Niang.

Jiu Niang was not surprised by this situation, she had this premonition long before the rumors spread.

Most of the so-called backhouse secrets are like this, making dramas, misleading, and fueling the fire, and then someone will jump out. And the person who jumped out is the most critical.

But Jiuniang doesn't care, she doesn't care about the father-daughter relationship, and she has no expectations for the so-called father. She has no father, no mother, no relatives, and the so-called elders and relatives in this house are also a passerby's existence for her. In that case, how could this method hurt her?

The so-called injury is just sad and sad, she is cold by nature, so Xiao Hang misunderstands or not, she doesn't care. And the injury is just an excuse to punish her by using the so-called 'mistakes'. As Xiao Jiuniang of the Xiao family, and the county lord of Yirong who was enshrined by the Holy Emperor, she waited to see if anyone dared to punish her, or if anyone would sit back and watch herself be punished.

Just like what she said to Xiao Siniang before, as long as the value you contain is big enough and the weight is heavy enough, others will be afraid and will weigh it.

Regarding Xiao Hang's questioning, Jiuniang chose to tell the truth.

I don't want to see it, that's it.

Jiuniang felt that she was telling the truth, but in Xiao Hang's eyes, she was unrepentant.

Xiao Hang is very unfamiliar with this daughter, it can be said that Jiuniang has grown to such a big age, and there are only a handful of words spoken between father and daughter.

Staring at the calm eyes in front of him, the anger in Xiao Hang's heart froze somehow, and he still existed, but he didn't know how to continue.

At this moment, a servant girl came in a hurry, but it was the maid next to the Duchess of An Guo in Anrong Courtyard, saying that the old lady had asked Goroujun to come over to talk.

A confrontation between father and daughter was interrupted like this, Xiao Hang dropped a sentence with a stiff face for Jiu Niang to reflect, and left with the maid.

And what surprised the maids of Cuiyun Pavilion was that the reprimanded Jiu Niangzi did not look sad and sad in the slightest, but had a smile on her face.

As long as the Xiao family is reluctant to give up her, the county lord of Yirong, they will not let such a thing as 'disobedience' happen, because as long as a little bad news spreads, it will tarnish her reputation.

How can a person with a bad reputation be worthy of her worth.

Maybe there is also the role of the King of Chu behind this, but somehow, Jiu Niang actually has such a strong premonition.
