98. Chapter 98
Early the next morning, when Steward Yang sent the stale ingredients to the Pujia Pavilion again, he worked hard for a while, and the full moon went straight to Linghu Hongxi's Qianyun Pavilion with a cherished dream.
Linghu Hongxi had just come down from the morning court, and when she saw the full moon coming, she thought she was here to make tea, and nodded to the full moon to make tea in the study.
The full moon didn't say much else, and stood quietly in the study making tea with his eyes down.
After a while, the old lady and the second lady also came together.
Linghu Pingxue and Linghu Zilu were punished by Linghu Hongxi for not stepping out of the door for half a step, and the two did not dare to make Linghu Hongxi angry at this juncture, although they were reluctant, they also obediently stayed in their respective rooms and did not dare to come out.
As soon as the old lady and the second lady entered the study, they were stunned when they saw that the full moon was making tea.
The second lady glanced at the old lady, and the old lady did not speak with a gloomy face.
Linghu Hongxi raised his head from the file in front of him, and when he saw the old lady and the second lady appearing at the same time, he frowned without a trace.
"Mother, why did you come here so early in the morning?" Ling Hu Hongxi's kung fu to speak, couldn't help but quickly glance at the full moon who was focused on making tea, and saw that the old lady and the second lady also looked at the full moon at the same time, looking forward to something happening, which made Hu Hongxi faintly unhappy in his heart.
The old lady and the second lady rarely came to Qianyun Pavilion at this hour, so what kind of moths did they have to use?
At this moment, Steward Tang hurriedly walked in, and when he saw a room of people, he was stunned for a moment, and then whispered,
"Master Hou, the third lady is here."
When the old lady and the second lady heard this, their eyes quickly exchanged, and the look of satisfaction in their eyes was satisfied.
They thought that Linghu Manyue could swallow this breath, but it turned out that the complaint had already been completed, and they were still making tea here with nothing to do, and they could really calm down.
"What's going on today?" Ling Hu Hongxi muttered in a low voice, and his face became more and more cloudy.
The full moon is always on the side to select the tea leaves, and the action is naturally unhurried.
After a while, the third lady walked in and saw the old lady and the second lady there, and the third lady's eyes flashed with bloody hatred. As long as she thought of the quenched sachet, she wanted to tear the faces of the old lady and the second lady, but now there is no evidence, the sachet has been hanging on Chang'an's body for several months, and she is still not sure when the sachet was transferred by the second lady.
The third lady had a always exaggerated and coquettish smile on her face, and twisted her waist to come to Ling Hu Hongxi.
"Master, the concubine has something to discuss with the master alone." The third lady smiled coquettishly at Ling Hu Hongxi, and her gorgeous face was charming.
The second lady looked at the foxy appearance of the third lady, and her teeth itched with hatred.
In terms of net worth background, where is the third lady her opponent, but she can compete with her for so many years by relying on her relationship with King Anping.
Linghu Hongxi looked at the third lady, and then at the old lady and the second lady with strange expressions, raised his eyebrows, and said lightly,
"What is there to say here, it's all my own family, what is God doing mysteriously?"
"Master Hou, but it's inconvenient to say that there are too many people." The third lady's body was weak, and she leaned on the desk of the sour branch wood as soft as a boneless, and rushed to Ling Hu Hongxi to be coquettish in front of the old lady and the second lady.
The third lady knew that this was what the old lady was most disgusted with.
Sure enough, the old lady's displeased voice sounded behind her,
"This is Qianyun Pavilion! Not your yard! What kind of system does this become? ”
"Sister, I didn't say you, we have been under one roof for so many years, what else can't be said, Master Hou has spoken, what else do you have to hide?" The second lady's voice sounded easy-going and calm, but in fact, every word was a mockery and disdain for the third lady.
It's just that what the old lady and the second lady don't understand is that it shouldn't have been Linghu Manyue who came to complain today, and then Linghu Hongxi called the third lady to question him in person? Why did the third lady take the initiative to come? Is there a variable?
The third lady sighed unconsciously, and stopped talking.
"If you have something to say, say it quickly." Ling Hu Hongxi was the most annoying, obviously he had something to say, but he still had to babble and pretend that it was not easy to speak.
The third lady seemed to have made up her mind, and spoke in a deep voice,
"Master Hou, it's about the kitchen, there is a rat in the kitchen of our Hou Mansion, and I have no idea for a while, so I came to find Master Hou." As soon as the third lady said this, the faces of the old lady and the second lady changed in unison, and then they quickly looked at the full moon.
The full moon made tea and brought it over, and his face sank like water.
"What's wrong with the kitchen?" Ling Hu Hongxi frowned, it is related to the eating problem of hundreds of people in the Hou Mansion, and a slight mistake can cause a big disaster, so Ling Hu Hongxi has always been more concerned about the kitchen matter, so the old lady and the second lady will think of starting with the problem in the kitchen, once the full moon reaction is given to Ling Hu Hongxi, Ling Hu Hongxi will definitely ask, and then the third lady will not be able to eat and go around.
"Master Hou, Steward Yang of the dining room was recently caught by me doing tricks on the account book of purchasing ingredients, this is nothing, Steward Yang will also send the ingredients to the yards to be shoddy, especially the ingredients in the old lady's yard There is also a problem, I dare not slack off, so I rushed to the side of the Hou Ye as soon as possible, please Hou Ye——"
"How can this be true? How do you take care of your men? Linghu Hongxi's eyes were cold, and his palms were lined up on the table.
The third lady looked aggrieved and bowed her head to silence.
The old lady and the second lady changed their faces in unison, unable to answer.
How did it come to this? Isn't it supposed to make the fox full moon complain? Why did the third lady expose her shortcomings?
Could it be that they noticed something?
But a person like the third lady, if it wasn't for Linghu Manyue who gave her full reassurance, how could she help Linghu Manyue come out? Even if she is given silver, she may not be so dedicated to acting for Linghu Full Moon!
The old lady and the second lady had recognized that the third lady was on both sides of the wall, and they would not treat anyone wholeheartedly, so they chose to attack the third lady.
But the old lady and the second lady were smart but were mistaken by the cleverness, forgetting that there is a Linghu Chang'an in this world who can make the third lady pay a qiē at all costs.
"Master Hou, Steward Yang I have ordered someone to tie him up, and now he is outside, do you want to-"
"Bring it in!" Linghu Hongxi didn't wait for the third lady to finish speaking, and ordered in a cold voice.
The old lady frowned fiercely, she also saw Steward Yang a moment ago, and Steward Yang also reported that there was about to take action on Linghu Full Moon's side, so seeing that Linghu Full Moon came to Qianyun Pavilion, the old lady was sure that Linghu Full Moon would come to complain, so she rushed over with the second lady in a hurry, who knew that as soon as the front foot left, Steward Yang was arrested on the back foot, which is definitely not a coincidence.
The full moon was standing quietly beside Linghu Hongxi at this moment, his eyes were lowered, and his expression was peaceful.
Along with Steward Yang, there were also several boxes of ingredients.
The ingredients at the bottom of the food box faintly exuded a rancid smell, which made Hu Hongxi's brows furrowed, and his face was like frost.
"What's going on?"
"Master Hou, you see - the head and body of this fish were picked up later, and these green vegetables, only the top layer is the best, and the bottom is inferior, and the same is true for dried goods such as mushrooms and fish maw, which are unbearable."
The third lady ordered someone to turn out all the contents of the food box, and a greater musty smell emanated, causing Hu Hongxi to raise his hand and flip over the stack of files on the desk in front of him.
"Daring minions! Look at the good things you've done!! Linghu Hongxi snorted coldly, and Steward Yang was gagged, unable to speak.
The old lady watched from the sidelines, trembling with anger.
She still doesn't know what happened!
"Hongxi, now that something has happened, you can't just listen to one person's words, you still have to give Steward Yang a chance to defend himself." The old lady opened her mouth almost through gritted teeth.
The full moon listened to it from the sidelines, and sneered in his heart.
Now that the old lady's person has a problem, he has to give him a chance to defend himself, thinking about what the old lady said when he was wronged? Have you ever given her a chance?
"Old lady, you don't know, it's not that you don't let Steward Yang speak, but when I found out that Steward Yang was full of selfishness, he knew that he was guilty, and he planned to bite his tongue and commit suicide, if it wasn't for the concubine's people to find out and save him in time, I'm afraid that he would have died by now, and ah, Steward Yang is bent on death, when I sent someone to arrest him, he went out over the wall and accidentally broke his arm, and his ear was cut by sharp stones, and now he can't even hear!"
As soon as the third lady said this, the faces of the old lady and the second lady changed at the same time.
Everyone looked at Steward Yang, only to find that there was a trace of undried blood on the corner of his mouth, his hands and feet couldn't move since he entered the door, his face was as white as paper, and his ears were red and swollen twice.
Full Moon's eyes flashed, but he was still silent.
It seems that the third lady is really sparing no effort to stand on the same front as her. It seems that all the hatred for the persecution of the second lady Linghu Chang'an was put on Steward Yang, so that he couldn't speak, he couldn't hear, he couldn't write, and his right leg couldn't walk!
It's a complete waste!
Alone left a pair of intact eyes for Steward Yang, so that he could face death in fear and terror!
Ling Hu Hongxi was also stunned, such a coincidence is indeed strange.
"What about the books? Pick it up. "Linghu Hongxi wants to personally look at the account books. The third lady immediately handed over the account book to Steward Tang, imitating Steward Yang's signature that she spent a lot of money to find a gentleman outside, and now that gentleman had already taken a large sum of money and left Kyoto to live happily, naturally no one would find him.
The old lady and the second lady couldn't help but get up and come to Ling Hu Hongxi's side and look at the account book.
The black and white words are clear at a glance.
The more the old lady looked at it, the tighter her brow became.
"Even if Steward Yang is full of private pockets, what can be done is so obvious, is it possible that the maids and mothers in my yard and the maids and women in other yards are blind? Can't you say it when you see it? ”
The old lady asked the third lady with a gloomy face.
The third lady pretended to shake her head helplessly, but there was a trace of bitter hatred in her eyes.
