Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Tricks of the Women in the Backyard
In the Great Prince's Mansion, Concubine Yuan sat in the house and drank tea, while asking Mama Zhou how much she needed in the mansion in the near future, and asked someone to take it away after checking the account books.
"There's still no movement from Mrs. Side?" The Yuan clan has to ask every day about the big and small things that happened to Ouyang Yun.
"There's no movement, and even the number of drops has been reduced a lot." Mama Zhou was also curious about how Ouyang Yun didn't look like a person who could calm down, why did she settle down this time.
"It's a person who can pretend, it's been four months on Wang's side, and the fetal position is stable, those people really plan to give birth to the things in their stomachs?" The Yuan family didn't believe that those women in the backyard would be so generous, and Ouyang Yun, the side concubine, was not very favored by the eldest prince, so she couldn't sit still compared to ordinary people, and now Ouyang Yun came to greet him early every day, and when she didn't see the unhappiness on her face, she couldn't help but let the Yuan family look at Ouyang Yun with admiration.
"I probably saw something, otherwise I wouldn't have tried my best to please Madame." Although Mama Zhou looks down on Ouyang Yun, who has the identity of a concubine, it is not bad to say that there is such a person by Madame's side to 'help' from time to time.
"She can't see clearly, I don't want to know." The Yuan family didn't take Ouyang Yun's flattery and flattery to herself in her eyes, as long as Ouyang Yun knew what to do, she was willing to raise such a biting thing by her side.
"You really have to have that heart, huh." The Yuan family doesn't look down on Ouyang Yun, but looks at Ouyang Yun's calculating temperament, and he is a person who can't hide his thoughts on his face, if he can really succeed, it will rain red in the sky.
"Even if Mrs. Fang really has a good temperament, those people in the backyard can't hold it." Mama Zhou is not talking nonsense, every time there is good news in the house, doesn't it make those people go back and forth, which is a common thing in the mansion.
"That's right, just don't make people wait too much." The Yuan family also wants to watch a good show, who will kill the deer, and whether that piece of meat can really be born safely, it depends on the means of those people in the backyard.
"The Wang family paid special attention to food and clothing during this time, for fear of falling into the Tao." Mama Zhou saw it with her own eyes, "I heard that the people around me were also beaten, and some of the maid rings serving on the side were replaced with a few." "Fortunately, there is no one placed by Mrs. in the replaced Yahuan, otherwise I have to start over, and I am afraid of being suspicious of people if I don't say anything, and it is not a good thing for the Yuan family who is a concubine to stab him in front of His Royal Highness the eldest prince.
"What's the use of being careful." Yuan sneered: "Even if it's okay for the past few months, can she guarantee that no one will do it at the last moment?" ”
"Madame really doesn't need to keep the little one?" Mama Zhou also wanted to persuade the Yuan family to leave Wang's children behind, and to keep her mother and son for a small time, and to raise them by her wife's side in the future.
"It's not easy to want a concubine." The Yuan family does not have the leisure to raise children for others, children can have children at any time, even if they can't give birth, there are many school-age girls in their mother's family, and they will see if their belly is competitive when they marry back, anyway, she wants the first boy in the Great Prince's Mansion to keep the blood of the Yuan family, and those concubines in the backyard don't want to give birth to the eldest son at all.
This is the first time that Mama Zhou has seen the Yuan family ruthless, "But how does His Highness explain there?" "The eldest prince told his wife to take more care of the Wang family, and if something really happened, his wife had to eat and hang.
"I don't send a lot of things to the Wang family, they are all good supplements in the house." The Yuan family really didn't treat the Wang family badly, and it was up to her to decide whether the Wang family would use it or not.
"In the end, the black hand behind the accident has to be caught and interrogated." Anyway, the Yuan family himself doesn't interfere, just watch the woman in the backyard play tricks, and the final result is in line with his own wishes, as for the culprit, of course, he is taken to the eldest prince to decide, and it has nothing to do with her from beginning to end, no.
Mama Zhou understands now, Mrs. is going to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and when the time comes, she will not talk much, anyway, there are many children who have died in the house, not bad for this person, Mrs. is still young after all, and the child will have sooner or later, of course, the child still has to be born by himself.
Whether Ouyang Yun understood the things in the backyard or not, only she and the grandmothers around her knew best.
"It's been four months." Ouyang Yun sat in front of the window and looked at the flowers and plants in the yard, but she couldn't calm down in her heart.
"Wait." Mama handed over the refreshments she had just brought from the kitchen, "It's not a few months. ”
"When, when will she give birth?" Ouyang Yun's voice instantly rose, and she suddenly stood up and looked at Mama gloomily.
Mama was stared at and broke out in a cold sweat, but she had to persuade her: "Miss, don't be angry, how can it be good if you are angry." ”
Ouyang Yun couldn't stop the anger in her heart when she saw Wang's triumphant face in the past few months, if it weren't for her grandmother's repeated reminders, she really wanted to go up and tear Wang's long face. She has endured it for four months, where can she endure it, the eldest prince will go to the Wang family every day when he returns to the house to ask and then go to the house of the concubine Yuan, sometimes she just rests directly on the Yuan family's side, and rarely comes to herself, which makes her not in a hurry.
"Miss, and I'm enduring it for a few days, and those concubines in the backyard must not be in a hurry." Mama persuaded: "The most important thing for Miss now is to please the Yuan family, go to the concubine more, maybe you can meet Your Highness." "The matter has been thoroughly explained to Ouyang Yun, and it depends on how Ouyang Yun does it herself.
Ouyang Yun took a deep breath to calm down, sat down again and used some refreshments, she listened to Mama's words, it was not that she didn't want to go, but that she went to Yuan's place to say something, how could she let Yuan's accompany her to consume without a topic, just to wait for the eldest prince to come to see him?
"Miss, don't be confused." Mama reminded: "If you go to Madame more, you may be able to avoid trouble." This is not what she said nonsense, with her old eyes, she had already seen that something was going to happen in the next few days, so she bitterly persuaded Ouyang Yun to accept her temperament, if something happened to Ouyang Yun, she would not be able to please her.
"Got it." Ouyang Yun is no longer the eldest lady in the Prime Minister's Mansion who has been spoiled by Aunt Liu, she has made her a lot more sensible in the past few months, at least she must sit firmly in the position of her side concubine, so that she can rectify those foxes with peace of mind.
On this day, the Wang family was happy, and Yahuan took the sour candied fruit in the small plate and let the Wang family eat a few pieces of nausea.
"What does my aunt want to eat today, and the slave told the kitchen to do it?" Yahuan Zhilan is a confidant brought by the Wang family from her mother's house, and these months are the time when the joy is the strictest, and the table is full of sour pastries and preserves.
"Let's face it." Wang couldn't remember what he ate for a while, so he still ate something simple and hungry.
Zhilan answered and went to the kitchen to ask the cook to make a bowl of noodles that was good to eat, otherwise Aunt Wang would have spit it out if she couldn't eat much.
"Auntie, the clothes are folded." A little girl came into the house with her laundry.
"Put it in your suitcase." Wang glanced at it and focused on the embroidered bandage on her hand, she wanted to make a few small clothes for the unborn child in her belly.
"Auntie, this veil?" Xiao Yahuan has been in charge of Wang's clothes, and today I went to the laundry to pick up the washed clothes, and when I was tidying up, I found an embroidered handkerchief, I don't know if it is Wang's.
"What?" Wang put down the embroidery bandage on his hand, took the embroidered handkerchief in Xiao Yahuan's hand and glanced at it, "Took it wrong, right?" She doesn't remember having a post like this.
"Then the slave will ask again." Xiao Yahuan was about to take the embroidered handkerchief to return it, but when she saw that Wang's face changed immediately, she was startled, "What's wrong with my aunt?" ”
Wang didn't care much about the embroidered handkerchief, but the smell on the embroidered handkerchief was really impossible to ignore, and the smell was clearly musk!
"Where did this veil come from?" Wang asked sharply, musk is a poison for abortion.
"This, this is the laundry." Yahuan was frightened by the Wang family, and there was no turn to get up.
Wang Shi thought about it carefully, and realized that there were people here who wanted to harm her, although the means were a little more unpopular, "What about the clothes you just brought?" ”
Yahuan immediately went to get her clothes, and stood aside and didn't dare to make a sound.
Wang opened every piece of clothing and smelled it, one of the clothes had a musky smell, the smell was not particularly heavy, and it could not be smelled if he did not smell it carefully.
Xiao Yahuan saw that Wang was sniffing the clothes, and understood for a while, so she stepped forward and took the embroidered handkerchief thrown on the side of the bed and smelled it, and her face suddenly changed greatly.
"Auntie, there is musk smoked on this veil!" Xiao Yahuan exclaimed: "This handkerchief was sandwiched in when the slave maid sorted out her clothes," Xiao Yahuan said clearly, so as not to be punished.
"Let's see if you can tell whose it is?" Wang's mind kept spinning after relieving himself, this matter could not be revealed quietly, and maybe he could use this matter to get rid of a few people.
"This blue and blue satin seems to have been used by the side lady." As for the green plum girl ring embroidered on the handkerchief, I can't be sure for a while.
"That's enough." A smile crossed Wang's eyes, "Take my clothes and handkerchief and help me to Madame." She wants to reason with Yuan's to see who is so bold and dares to calculate the child in her womb.
Before the Wang family arrived, the Yuan family had already received the news, and it seemed that there was a good show today.
After the Wang family entered the house, he knelt down directly to the Yuan family who was sitting at the top, with a sad look on his face, "Please Madame make the decision for me, someone wants to harm His Highness's children." As he spoke, he began to cry.
Yuan Shi sneered in his heart and watched Wang acting, but his face was very surprised, "What's the matter, the ground is cool, and Mama Zhou helps Aunt Wang to get up and speak." ”
Mama Zhou stepped forward to help Wang sit down and retreated to Yuan's side.
"Who wants to harm His Highness's child?" The Yuan family took out the posture of being the housewife and asked the Wang family the reason.
Wang asked Xiao Yahuan to present the clothes, "Madame's clothes and handkerchiefs are smoked with musk, if you don't find it early, I'm afraid that the child in the womb will ...... if you wear it for a long time" said and tears fell again.
Yuan Shi motioned to Mama Zhou to take the things to her, put them under her nose and smelled them, there was a musky fragrance, but the smoke was not very strong, and it was a very clumsy technique at first glance.
"Where did all this come from?" Yuan looked at Wang, she wanted to see who Wang wanted to blame for this matter.
"I just got it from the laundry today." Wang answered Yuan's question while wiping his tears with a handkerchief.
"Just this one?" Yuanshi looked suspicious: "There are no other clothes?" ”
"I found the embroidered handkerchief first, and Yahuan said that it was sandwiched in clothes." Wang said honestly, "At first, I didn't think much about someone misplacing it, and I didn't think that there was a musky smell, so I didn't dare to carelessly take the clothes and find such a piece." ”
"Well, musk is harmful to the body, so you should check it out." The Yuan family made a fair and strict appearance, and instructed Mama Zhou, "Let people go to the laundry office now to investigate thoroughly, see which one dares to do such a vicious thing, and inform the aunts in all the courtyards to come, there must be someone behind this matter." ”
"Yes." Mama Zhou took the order and left.
After a while, Ouyang Yun and the others arrived, although they didn't know the purpose of the Yuan family asking them to come, but as soon as they entered the door, they saw the Wang family sitting there with red eyes, and they had some bottom in their hearts.
After a few people saluted and sat down, the Yuan family directly picked out the matter, "This veil will be passed down to see who is used to it, stand up and say what's going on, don't find out when the time comes, it's not so decent." ”
The handkerchief naturally went to Ouyang Yun's hand first, and Ouyang Yun only glanced at it and handed it to the Li family who was sitting under him, thinking that he didn't do this by himself anyway, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
The Li family had already seen the blue and blue silk handkerchief in the Yuan family's hand, and said in his heart that it was not used by the side concubine Ouyang Yun, and when he saw Ouyang Yun get the embroidered handkerchief, he only glanced at it and didn't take it seriously, and the corner of his eyes swept to the Wang family who was sitting on one side, and he already had a plan in his heart.
"This color seems to be only found by Mrs. Side." Li said as he handed the handkerchief to Zhang.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" When Ouyang Yun heard this, he immediately retorted: "You must be held accountable for planting false accusations indiscriminately!" ”
After reading it, Zhang looked at Ouyang Yun, who was not angry, and said, "I have also seen this handkerchief used by Mrs. Fang." "This is the truth, she didn't talk nonsense, but I don't know what the Wang family thinks in her heart, even if you want to get rid of the side concubine, it is not so easy, just talking about the identity of Ouyang Yun's prime minister's concubine, it is too early to move her, not to mention looking at Ouyang Yun's previous attitude, she knows that she has not done anything.
Ouyang Yun was so angry, she was framed by someone for not doing anything, if she really did something, she wouldn't have to die to apologize.
The Yuan clan didn't wait for Ouyang Yun to speak again: "I can see it clearly, wronging Mrs. Fang is not something that can be revealed in a sentence or two." ”
Ouyang Yun saw that the Yuan clan was speaking for herself, and no matter how angry she was, she had to give the Yuan clan face.
"Madame, we don't dare to talk nonsense." Yu smiled and said, "This kind of color is not something that my concubines can use. ”
"I remember that this green silk was a gift from the palace, and it was not much, and the lady only gave half a horse to use as a handkerchief." Yu said: "But just this embroidered handkerchief may not be able to conclude that it was done by Mrs. Fang." ”
At this time, Mama Zhou came back and told the Yuan clan the results of the investigation.
Wang sat on the side and observed the looks on the faces of Ouyang Yun and the others, wanting to judge who the culprit was behind it, but unfortunately, except for Ouyang Yun's angry face, there was nothing wrong with the others, which made him dare not act rashly if he wanted to drag Ouyang Yun to disappear, and if he didn't get it, he would be bitten back.
"Madam, you have to make the decision for me, although I have used this veil, it cannot be ruled out that someone stole the veil and framed me." Ouyang Yun really couldn't swallow this breath, "You have to ask the garment department how much of this handkerchief has been made, in case there is a piece left for someone who cares to take it at that time, who can say clearly." ”
The Yuan family thought that Ouyang Yun would make a big fuss, but he didn't expect that he would also find out the source, whether this matter is big or small depends on what the Wang family means, Gu Er asked: "Aunt Wang, what do you say?" ”
Wang's eyes rolled and lowered his head slightly, and said, "One qiē is in charge of the lady." "I wanted to provoke Ouyang Yun to make things bigger, with Ouyang Yun not having the brains to guess the temperament of others, it is difficult not to let go, no matter who does it, she just needs to sit on the mountain and watch other people eat dogs, but the problem is Ouyang Yun, it is really a failure.
In the end, the Yuan family only disposed of a little girl ring in the laundry office, of course, the matter had to be dealt with in front of the main owner, one came to this matter, and the other was to use the death of the little girl ring to warn those who were hiding their thoughts.
The matter was over, and Wang returned to his residence with a full of unwillingness.
"Damn!" The Wang family never imagined that things would be bad in Ouyang Yun's hands.
After going back, Ouyang Yun poured two cups of tea in a row before calming the anger churning in his heart.
"Miss, what happened?" Mama patiently asked the reason why the Yuan family asked Ouyang Yun to go.
"That slut of the Wang family wants to frame me, but fortunately, nothing happens." The main reason is that Ouyang Yun listened to her grandmother's instructions before going out, and she didn't quarrel with the Wang family to save herself.
Mama breathed a sigh of relief after listening to Ouyang Yun's simple explanation, she knew that it would be a good thing for the maid ring around the Yuan family to invite Ouyang Yun to go today, but fortunately, Ouyang Yun listened to her words and escaped the catastrophe.
In the evening, the eldest prince Mu Zhao went to the Wang family after returning to the house to see the situation of the child today.
Seeing that the eldest prince cherished the child in his womb, the Wang family played a small abacus and told the eldest prince about today's events.
After hearing this, Mu Zhao only comforted the Wang family a few words and did not give any verbal promises, he was not an ignorant child, and he concluded that the mastermind behind this matter was Ouyang Yun based on the words of one person.
Even if Ouyang Yun really did this, Mu Zhao couldn't really think about Ouyang Yun, at most, he would punish her for thinking about it behind closed doors, the reason for this was that Ouyang Yun had only entered the mansion not long ago and had the support of the Prime Minister's Mansion behind her, and she really couldn't ask Ouyang Yun for her fault because of a trivial matter, besides, the matter was not successful, the Wang family is safe and sound now, why should this matter be known to everyone, and the heir in the belly is not as important as the high status.
Wang didn't get a little cheap in the eldest prince, she was angry, and her anger disappeared a lot after tearing off the two handkerchiefs, she knew that she was pregnant with a child now, and she should not be angry for fear of breaking her body, and when the child was born safely, she wanted to see how long those people could be arrogant.
