Chapter 508: Prey Four

The mother's family of Xiaowan in Beijing.

"I wish Mama is here! Why didn't the second aunt come back? The daughter-in-law of the housekeeper who greeted the guests at the second door asked.

Zhu Mama glared at her with a straight face, "The second aunt is still sick!" Today is the full moon ceremony of the little grandson, if you give it to the young master after the illness, it will not be good, otherwise how could our second aunt and wife not come back. ”

The housekeeper's daughter-in-law's smile was a little embarrassing, and Mrs. You on the side pursed her lips secretly, and Mrs. Li Si looked sneering, "Why hasn't the second sister's illness been completely healed?" ”

"Yes! My wife has had a bad year recently, and I don't know who she is provoking whom! Thinking about planning for others, people got good, didn't take her credit to heart, and didn't fall into the good, so they immediately blamed her, this heart is pressing, how can the body be good? ”

Mrs. You Da and Mrs. Li Si's faces changed several times when they heard this, and they suddenly turned red and then blue, and the housekeepers and daughters-in-law who led the way hurriedly found an excuse to separate the people.

Fortunately, the two aunts and wives were proud of their identities and did not want to quarrel with a subordinate in front of the public, so they pursed their lips and left with the person, and Zhu Mama snorted heavily.

"You are so bold that you dare to fight with the two aunts."

"What are you afraid of?" Zhu Mama said proudly with a high-spirited face, "Others don't know, don't the old sister know?" Hey, those two! I wanted to befriend our aunt and wife, so that the girl in the family could go to our young master as a concubine, but was stopped by the old lady, and our aunt was disgusted by the old lady and the eldest master. ”

How could the daughter-in-law of the housekeeper not know about the affairs between the three aunts and wives of the main family? The second aunt and wife married to do a continuation, and the former lady had three children, and finally one died, but it was a daughter, and the second aunt and wife wanted to win over two stepsons. But he couldn't do it, and he wanted to hire his niece or niece to enter the door, so as to help himself a thing or two, but he was categorically rejected by the old lady of his in-laws, and he retreated to the second, not to be the main room, can't we be concubines?

I'm sorry. Not really.

The second aunt and wife are looking for death by themselves. I also took the in-laws of the eldest aunt and the third aunt's wife, and I heard that the eldest aunt has been having a hard time recently, and someone always wears small shoes for him. The third aunt didn't let it go too far, and in the past, he used money to help people settle lawsuits and other things, but they were all turned over.

This Zhu Mama even dared to send aunts and wives, didn't they? Could it be that Mama Zhu went to Du Mansion. It really has to be reused by the second aunt's wife, otherwise how dare you offend people like this?

It's better to take the people away quickly. saved the two aunts and wives from seeing her, and they had to be choked by her.

They didn't know that this Zhu Mama didn't see herself as a person at all, she was free to walk the rivers and lakes. If it weren't for the fact that the owner was in trouble and asked her to fall down the frieze with her, how could she run to the house of a big family in Beijing to be a servant?

Give the gift slip that Mrs. Du gave her to the housekeeper in Mrs. Wan's house. Zhu Mama quietly inquired about Mama Chen's whereabouts, and then looked for an opportunity.

Mrs. Wan's great-grandson is full moon. Although her daughter-in-law takes care of the housework, Mrs. Wan still has to preside over the overall situation, and Mama Chen, as a confidant, is naturally busy with her feet on the ground.

At this moment, she is in the room of the eldest young master's concubine who has just given birth to a newborn, helping to clean Young Master Sun, and she will take her out to meet the guests in a while!

When Zhu Mama came over, some of the maids knew her, some didn't, and the maids who knew her were busy pulling their companions to avoid her.

"Who's that? Why are the sisters afraid of her like a femme fatale? ”

"That old man has the most vicious mouth, and those old eyes are the most snobbish, and she is useless, don't think she will pay attention to you, if you give her the slightest benefit, she will not let go if she doesn't use you thoroughly and squeeze you dry."

Zhu Mama's ears were sharp, and she heard the conversation of the maids clearly, but she didn't care, looking around for Mama Chen, Mama Chen's ear power was not much with her, and she heard the maids talking about Mama Zhu, and she was still smiling gently, and she was actually very unhappy in her heart.

Hurriedly handed the swaddling clothes in his hand to the nurse's hand, turned around and said hello to Young Master Wan and his favorite concubine, and went out to find Mama Zhu.

When Mama Zhu saw her come out, her eyes lit up, and Mama Chen greeted her with a smile, "Did the second aunt send you back to give a gift?" ”

Zhu Mama pursed the corners of her mouth dissatisfied, and responded with a smile, saying as she walked, and when she walked to the corner, Mama Chen said sharply: "Why did you run back?" ”

"The old man is not at home these days, Sanniangzi, look, can we sneak in?"

"You've found out that there's really no one in his study secretly guarding?" Mama Chen asked thoughtfully.

Zhu Mama snorted, "Your careful habits have not changed!" Rest assured! I've checked, it was guarded by someone, but I heard that their baby bump had an accident in the northwest, the old man, father and son were so anxious that they sent someone to the northwest to inquire about the news, the old man didn't return home all day, and he was so busy outside that his feet didn't touch the ground! ”

"But I see that your second young grandmother, she still goes to banquets everywhere with no heart and lungs? Did the second young master of the Du family really have an accident? ”

"Really, really, the Ministry of War has sent someone to say! I was going to bed that night, and suddenly someone came to the door, avoiding people, but trying to escape my eyes, hey, how easy is it to say! "I wish Mama to be very proud, and I feel that after so many years, I am still not old.

Mama Chen didn't argue with her, but only repeatedly told her to be careful, and after Mama Zhu responded a little impatiently, she couldn't help asking: "Sanniang, do they have any news?" ”

"No, no news is good news." Mama Chen replied categorically.

Zhu Mama glanced at her sympathetically and sighed heavily, "If it weren't for those dog officials, our days would have been much more enjoyable!" ”

Hearing this, Mama Chen turned her head to look at her, and after a long time, she said: "My mother persuaded my father back then, don't take over that business, but my father didn't listen, the matter is big, can you blame the official family for suppressing it?" ”

The Qi family was the overlord of the Xiong side in the southwest, and the reputation of the Zhengqi Villa in the rivers and lakes is not small, that year a rich businessman asked them to escort them back to Beijing, the owner of the village felt that it was not safe, but the owner felt that there was nothing wrong with taking money to do things, so he should go on an errand, who knew that the rich businessman carried red goods, attracting officers and soldiers to pursue.

Zhengqi Villa was also implicated and has since been destroyed.

Zhu Mama pouted unconvinced and snorted coldly, "When those dog officials collected money, they were ruthless, and they were not merciless when they turned around and brought people to encircle and suppress, but neither the father and son of the Du family had ever been officials in Jiuyi in the southwest, could this news be wrong?" ”

If they tried their best to sneak into the Du Mansion, and the treasure map they were looking for was not in the Du family, wouldn't it be in vain.

That's the treasure that the ancestors of the three ladies have spent several lifetimes accumulating!

Originally, this was a secret that the current head of the Sanniangzi family knew, but that year, in addition to Sanniangzi and her avoiding beans outside, there were also two young masters who took over the errand and guarded outside, and the rest of the Qi family was all killed by officers and soldiers in the bandit suppression operation.

When she and the third lady learned the news, they quietly sneaked back, only to see that the once magnificent Zhengqi Villa was swallowed by the raging fire, and gradually turned into a monster in the night, lurking in their dreams for a long time.

The fire was extinguished, the crowd dispersed, and the officers and soldiers left, so they returned to the ruins at night to rummage through the relics of the deceased.

Zhu Mama didn't expect that they would be allowed to find the secret passage, except for a letter in the secret passage, there was nothing, the letter only explained the Qi family's treasure map, she thought that the box where the treasure map was burned in the fire, and later accidentally learned that the officers and soldiers responsible for encircling and suppressing the Zhengqi Villa moved a lot of goods and left.

The process of following the line of investigation was not smooth, because the officials who were responsible for exterminating the Qi family were impeached for dereliction of duty, and one by one they were hit by arrows and fell off the horse, and the third lady and she worked hard to learn from the mouth of a captain who was about to be executed that the property obtained from the Qi family that year flowed into the hands of several ministers in the court.

She is not a brainstorm, the third lady found the two brothers, and when they talked about it, they refused to help each other because they had been incognito for many years and did not want to be involved anymore.

However, they still used their connections to help investigate, and they learned that the box containing the treasure map was likely to fall into the hands of Du Xiang.

They had tried to blend into Du Mansion before, but it was not easy, if there was a shortage of people in the Du Mansion, they would first pick people from the family courtyard, and if they couldn't pick what they wanted, they would buy it from outside, but there were not many opportunities for this.

The Du Yunqi brothers went south, and they followed all the way behind, and finally had a chance to get in, but they didn't expect that because the Wan family caused trouble, they were kicked out again before they could sit down.

In the end, I can only start from the ten thousand families, the third lady is a big girl like a flower, but she wants to be an old woman, and she has to pretend to be an old woman...... Zhu Mama stared at the back of her old man-spotted hand with disgust.

"In short, you should be careful, don't take it lightly, rather act safely than act rashly." Mama Chen shook her head, shook off the bitterness in her heart, and told Mama Zhu again.

Although Mama Zhu was unwilling, she was accustomed to it for many years and did not dare to disobey Mama Chen's explanation.

"Wishing Mama is back?" Fan Anyang was on the council, and when he heard the maid coming, he couldn't help but be a little stunned, "She only gave a gift, didn't delay much?" ”

I can't blame Fan Anyang for feeling weird, after all, every time I wish Mama Zhu only needs to go to Wanfu, she always stays late, and every time she rushes back to the house at the curfew point.

Today is a good day for Wanjia, and she came back before noon, but I was afraid that it would not even be useful for the banquet, so she came back.

"Wouldn't it be good for her to come back early?"

"Good, why not!" Fan Anyang replied thoughtfully.

Because Du Xiang had explained before that if he and the eldest master were not there, there was something in the house that needed someone to decide, so he would go to the second young grandmother, so two days ago, the secret guard guarding the study reported to her, and the people in Mrs. Du's courtyard were very interested in the old lady's study, and for a few days, they all went to the vicinity of the study.

At that time, she kept an extra eye on it, and let people keep an eye on Mama Zhu, although the person who went to the study to inquire was not her, but she was sent by Wanjia, and it had been returned to Wanjia, but Mrs. Wan did not give up, and sent people over.

If Mama Zhu is really capable, it would be understandable for Mrs. Wan to send her to help her daughter, but Mama Zhu can't see what she has to do except make people feel disgusted everywhere.

Mrs. Wan wants to send her to Du Mansion no matter what, obviously she has other plans!

Staring at the old lady's study, is it Mrs. Du's meaning, or Mrs. Wan's meaning? What is there in the old lady's study that can interest them? (To be continued)
