------Off topic------
Mrs. Yongkang Hou was silent. Indeed, now because she framed Xie Fanghua, she is also involved in this matter. This small matter can be dealt with lightly by the emperor, but it is not necessarily a major matter. The Yongkang Hou Mansion now does not dare to help the Xie family's long house. Even if she is friendly with Mrs. Min, she must focus on the Yongkang Hou Mansion.
"You're still worried about ourselves!" Yongkang Hou waved his hand.
"I'm afraid the Xie family's long house is over this time." Mrs. Yongkang Hou said, "After all, the Xie family's long house is attached to the Xie clan, and it bears the name of the Xie family, and now it is the daughter of the loyal Yonghou Mansion, even if it is not punished by the emperor, the Xie clan is afraid that the Xie family's long house will not be spared." ”
Yongkang Hou, who had been restless since he learned that the queen had arrested his wife's dowry, finally calmed down.
Mrs. Yongkang Hou nodded.
Yongkang Hou saw that she didn't seem to be lying, and breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that there is nothing else." At that time, when the emperor returns to Beijing, if he summons me, you will enter the palace with me, first ask the emperor for guilt, and explain the truth of the matter first. This is not a big mistake, the emperor has always treated the Yongkang Marquis Mansion well. It's nothing more than a blame, and it won't be dealt with severely. ”
"Although I have always been strong in the house, although I was disturbed by Ting'er's departure, I also know the seriousness of the matter. I saw that the Xie family's long house has been surrounded by the emperor's imperial army, where do I dare to hide it from you again? Naturally, there is nothing else. Mrs. Yongkang Hou shook her head.
"Now that it is an eventful season, the matter of the Dharma Buddha Temple is too big, madam, you must not hide it from me anymore." Yongkang Hou said solemnly.
"Nope." Mrs. Yongkang Hou shook her head.
"Now that the younger generation of Nanqin has grown up, the older generation is not too old. It's a time for the old and the new. There are so many capable people, where can I guess who it is? Yongkang Hou shook his head and confirmed again, "Think about it again, apart from this one thing, is there anything else?" ”
Mrs. Yongkang Hou looked at Yongkang Hou, "Can you guess who it is?" ”
Yongkang Hou shook his head, "Although there are too many people in the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion, and there are too many people who want to pull it off the horse, there are still very few people who have the ability and ability to use their skills behind their backs without leaving a trace. ”
"The Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion has been standing for hundreds of years. If you talk about the real Zhongming Ding Food House in Southern Qin, the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion is called the second, and no one dares to call it the first. Even the wealthy and glorious Prince Ying's Mansion has only been glorious for two hundred years. Although it is favored, it is not as good as the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion. Mrs. Yongkang Hou said, "In such a mansion, how many people are red-eyed, and how many people are eager to pull it off the horse." Where can you guess who it is. ”
"Who is it that actually used your hand to harm Xie Fanghua and the Marquis of Zhongyong?" Yongkang Hou was puzzled.
"Can I listen? My son's whereabouts are unknown. Even the emperor's people couldn't find him. I don't know if something happened. And now that Prince Ying's Mansion and the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion have a marriage, even the emperor has to scruple about three points. Ten years is too long, I can't stand it. As long as there is a glimmer of opportunity, I will definitely seize it. Mrs. Yongkang Hou said.
Yongkang Hou sighed, "You dare to believe it without figuring out who sent you the letter, I don't know whether to say that you are revengeful or too bold." I told you a long time ago that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge, but you just don't listen. ”
Mrs. Yongkang Hou pursed her lips, "I just mentioned it to you that day, and you didn't agree. I didn't mention it later. Thinking that Xie Fanghua's reputation would be ruined at that time, and even the high-walled compound of the Marquis Zhongyong's Mansion could not accommodate her as a demon, you would naturally be happy. Who knew that the queen would actually help her! It's hateful. ”
"Then you will arrange to kill Xie Fanghua according to what the letter said?" Yongkang Hou glared, "I said, why do you have to insist on making a move on Xie Fanghua?" It turns out that there is still this root. But why don't you discuss such an important matter with me? Let me know? ”
Mrs. Yongkang Hou shook her head, "I don't know who it is." The letter was nailed to my window with a dart. At that time, apart from me, only my dowry Xia Hua was present. We were both in a jump, and I asked her to take the letter. After looking at it, I went out to look for a suspicious person, but after looking around, there was no one at the time. Later, within a moment, the letter automatically turned black and turned to paper ashes. ”
Yongkang Hou looked down at the palm of his wife's hand, and sure enough, he saw that there was a small piece of burnt black on the fingertips of her usual pinching letters. He frowned, "Who is that person who sent you the message?" So cautious? It should be that I am afraid of leaving evidence. ”
"I guess someone smeared medicine on the letter paper, and my hands were burned at that time." Mrs. Yongkang Hou spread out her palms, "Look at it, I still have traces here." ”
Yongkang Hou was stunned, "Didn't anyone touch the letter?" How did it automatically turn black and ruined? ”
"It's not that I ruined it, but after I read the letter, the letter automatically turned black and ruined." Mrs. Yongkang Hou said.
"How did you ruin such an important letter? Why not keep it? Since Ting'er left, your brain is not enough. Yongkang Hou was angry.
"Ruined!" Mrs. Yongkang Hou said.
Yongkang Hou's face changed, and he asked, "What about the letter?" Where is it? ”
"Three days ago, someone gave me a secret letter. The letter said that there would be a fire at the Dharma Buddha Temple today. Mrs. Yongkang Hou said.
"What's the matter?" Yongkang Hou's heart lifted.
Mrs. Yongkang Hou was silent for a moment before she whispered, "There is indeed something I didn't tell you. ”
"Are you hiding something from me?" Yongkang Hou is the one who mixed up in the court, and he has been married to Mrs. Yongkang Hou for many years. didn't let go of her wrong look.
Mrs. Yongkang Hou moved the corners of her mouth, but still did not speak.
"If you only take action against Xie Fanghua and spread rumors, although the methods are obscene, but because the Marquis of Zhongyong and our Yongkang Marquis Mansion have a grudge against Yanting. Even if the queen takes care of people, after the emperor returns to Beijing, at most we will take the opportunity to take revenge, and there will be no big blame, and we can't avoid reprimanding me. But if you do something else, then our Yongkang Hou Mansion will be involved. It's a big deal, ma'am. Yongkang Hou stretched out his hand to support Mrs. Yongkanghou's shoulder, and said with some bitterness.
Mrs. Yongkanghou's face changed for a moment, and there was gloom in the pale light.
"You really didn't do it?" Yongkang Hou stared at her, "Don't lie to me, the Fafo Temple caught fire, and Prince Ying, the second son of Zheng, and Miss Fanghua were assassinated, this matter is not trivial." implicated the Mansion of Prince Ying and the Mansion of the Marquis of Zhongyong. Under the pressure of the two governments, it is impossible for the emperor not to strictly investigate this matter. Anyone who has the slightest involvement in this matter is fatal. ”
Mrs. Yongkang Hou shook her head.
"I ask you, except for the rumor-mongering thing you made your personal girl do. What else has been done? Yongkang Hou asked.
Mrs. Yongkang Hou glanced at Yongkang Hou and did not answer.
Seeing that she was soaking wet, Yongkang Hou frowned, and asked her, "What are you doing when you leave the palace and don't go back to the house, and go to the Xie family's long house?" ”
Not long after, Mrs. Yongkang Hou came to the study, and several strategists and Mrs. Yongkang Hou also knew it. A few people greeted her, and she nodded with a somewhat gloomy face.
Yongkanghou nodded.
"Maybe it's because the Dharma Buddha Temple really has the blessing of the Buddha, if it doesn't rain, the fire is so big, with the wind, it can't be controlled at all. If the fire spreads, the entire Dharma Buddha Temple will definitely be destroyed. A strategist said.
"The young lady of the Marquis of Zhongyong Mansion is really a good fate!" Yongkang Hou snorted, "When it shouldn't have rained, it actually rained." ”
It was raining outside the window, and Yongkang Hou and several strategists in the study were also surprised.
In the study, several of Yongkanghou's strategists were still there and did not leave.
Mrs. Yongkang Hou nodded, she was also looking for Yongkang Hou, but when she saw the big housekeeper coming to pass the word, she walked to Yongkang Hou's study.
"Master Hou is discussing with a few strategists, I heard that you are back, let the old slave come and invite you to the study." The big butler said.
Mrs. Yongkang Hou came back to her senses, glanced at the big housekeeper, and asked, "Where is the Hou Ye?" ”
The chief butler ran to the gate, and saw Mrs. Yongkang Hou drenched in the rain, although the rain was not too heavy, but it was fine, and after a while, the whole body was wet from head to toe. He was a little stunned, he had never seen his wife like this, he reprimanded the gatekeeper of the porter, and hurriedly brought an umbrella to cover her.
"Yes!" The chief housekeeper immediately went to greet Mrs. Yongkang Hou.
Yongkang Hou secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and instructed the chief butler, "Madame is back, let her come directly to the study." I have important matters to discuss with her. ”
The news of Mrs. Yongkanghou's return to her home had already reached Yongkanghou's ears.
The coachman, the guard, and the porter all looked at Mrs. Yongkang Hou, and saw that her face was extremely ugly standing in the rain, she had always regarded herself as a noble lady, and she had always paid great attention to her appearance, but since Yan Xiaohou left, she had become much more decadent, and she had been sick for many days, and finally got better. Now it's raining at the gate despite standing at the gate. This is a strange thing. But no one dared to disturb her.
How can she not hate or be annoyed?
She thought that she could achieve nine out of ten things, but now they have failed. Not only did she fail, but she was also caught.
She rushed to the palace, but the queen deliberately disappeared. Obviously, this matter will be handed over to the emperor when he comes back. And she went to the Xie family's long house again, but the Xie family's long house was besieged by the Royal Forest Army.
She looked up at the plaque of the Yongkang Marquis Mansion, and for a while she only felt depressed in her chest, and her hatred and anger were unsettled.
Mrs. Yongkang Hou did not wait for anyone to find an umbrella, so she got out of the carriage and stood at the door, drenched in the rain.
The rain was heavier than before, falling from the sky and forming a curtain of rain.
Not long after, Mrs. Yongkang Hou returned to the Yongkang Hou Mansion.
The leader of the Imperial Forest Army also saw the carriage of Mrs. Yongkang Hou's departure, and did not stop it, nor did he come forward to talk.
The carriage carried Mrs. Yongkang Hou to the Yongkang Hou Mansion.
The guard was secretly overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly thanked him.
"When I get home, I'll go to the big butler to receive the reward." Mrs. Yongkang Hou sighed secretly for a moment, although her heart was shrouded in a thick cloud, she was also grateful to this guard for coming in time.
The guard bowed his head, thinking that he could save his wife, and he would be spared punishment.
Mrs. Yongkang Hou nodded with a white face, "Fortunately, you came in time, otherwise if I go in, then the leader of the emperor's Imperial Forest Army will only obey the emperor's orders, even if the Hou Ye comes to save me, the Royal Forest Army will not let me out." ”
"Master Hou got the news and knew that you had come to the Xie family's long house, so let his subordinates come and stop you immediately." The guard said again.
Mrs. Yongkang Hou's face changed.
"It is said that the Xie family Changfang sent a fake monk to take advantage of the fire to harm the young lady of the Zhongyong Marquis's Mansion, was caught, and confessed in front of the emperor. The emperor issued an order, and 5,000 Imperial Forest troops besieged the Xie family's long house. Not a single fly can fly out. The guard glanced at it, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and secretly thought that it was fortunate that it came in time, otherwise as long as the lady stepped into the Xie family's long house, then it would be impossible for the Royal Forest Army to release people.
After a long while, Mrs. Yongkang Hou came back to her senses and asked the guard in front of the car wearing the clothes of Yongkang Houfu, "What's going on?" What happened to the Xie family's long house? ”
She happened to see a large group of Imperial Forest Army hurrying over, surrounding the Xie family's long house side by side. I was shocked.
Mrs. Yongkang Hou was thinking about things in the carriage, but the carriage suddenly shook and turned around sharply, which woke her up, and immediately lifted the curtain to look out.
The coachman was stunned by the sudden change.
"I can't go to the Xie family's long house again, go home quickly!" The guard was assigned by the chief steward of the Marquis of Yongkang to intercept the carriage of the Marquis of Yongkang, and after saying a word in a hurry, before the coachman could reply, the guard dismounted and got into the carriage, snatched the reins of the coachman and turned the carriage around.
The coachman was startled, and immediately grabbed the reins of the horse, and after a closer look, it was the guards of the Yongkang Marquis Mansion, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
The coachman drove the carriage slowly into the alley of Xie's longhouse, and when he was still a few steps away from the gate of Xie's longhouse, he suddenly met a horse and stopped the carriage.
While she was thinking about things, she felt that God really couldn't help her.
She sat in the car for a while, angry, angry and hateful. Unexpectedly, she did a self-proclaimed secret, and the people in the capital were panicked, but they ignored the queen in the palace. Since the queen helped Xie Fanghua take her dowry girl.
She had spread the rumor earlier, and it had only been an hour, so wouldn't the rumor have been useless and would be self-defeating? Why is Xie Fanghua so good? Even God protects it.
Why is it raining at this time?
Mrs. Yongkang Hou sat in the car, her face a little ugly. The raindrops hit the roof of the car, making a crackling sound. She never thought that there should be rain at this time, but it was raining.
The sky over the entire Xie family's long house was like a layer of clouds. The Imperial Foresters stood in the rain against the rain, and from a distance, it was very cold.
Xie Linmu, Xie Linhu, and Xie Xiang got together, and there was a feeling that the sky was about to fall.
Xie Chuan and Mrs. Min were also concerned.
Although Xie Chuan had ordered the big housekeeper to stabilize the panicked hearts of the Xie family's long house, it was a big deal to let the emperor send the Imperial Forest Army to besiege him, although no one in the mansion was in turmoil and shouting, but they were all gloomy and frightened.
Xie Linxi nodded, how much Xie Yin hated Xie Fanghua He knew that it was not easy for her to have such a change and attitude now.
Xie Yin nodded, "As long as our family can be safe and sound this time, I will hide from her in the future, and I will never provoke her again." ”
Xie Linxi smiled, "She did something, but it wasn't a big deal." It's just that she can't be underestimated. Even if you don't like her, don't provoke her in the future. They are all from the Xie family, and they are from the same lineage. Broken bones are still connected to tendons. ”
Xie Yin frowned, "Is she very powerful?" Where we don't know, what awesome things did she do to impress you? ”
"Like?" Xie Linxi raised her eyebrows and shook her head, "She is a cousin, and I like some, but the main thing is that I admire her." ”
"Second brother, do you like Xie Fanghua?" Xie Yin bit her lip slightly and looked at Xie Linxi.
Xie Linxi looked out the window when he heard this, and everyone could see that such a dry weather did not look like rainy weather at all. But it rained. He quietly looked out the window and said, "If it rains in time, the thousand-year-old foundation of the Dharma Buddha Temple will be saved from being destroyed." Some of the rumors of Fanghua's sister are self-defeating. After a pause, he added, "Maybe for her, not only is it not a bad thing, but it is still a good thing." ”
Xie Yin raised his head, his eyes fixed on the window, and he was a little depressed, "Second brother, you said that in such weather, it was raining outside." I'm the first rain since spring this year, right? It came so early. ”
Xie Linxi patted her on the shoulder, revealing a genuine smile.
"Although I still don't like Xie Fanghua, I don't envy her anymore. You're right, nothing is as important as the safety of our family. Wealth and glory are just passing clouds. If we can't escape this catastrophe, there will be nothing. The eldest sister likes Zheng Yang, but if she is not the daughter of the Xie family's long house, the Xingyang Zheng family will definitely not let the eldest son marry her sister again. Xie Yin said in a low voice, "I used to think that the Xie family's long house was not good, but now I feel that it is the best to be able to keep it." ”
Xie Linxi nodded, "It's good that you understand." ”
Xie Yin lowered his head, "Second brother, if you had told me this before, I would have been fascinated by ghosts, and I would have always envied Xie Fanghua's identity and food and clothing, and I wouldn't have listened to what you said at all." But after today's incident, I feel that you have told me this, and I think it makes a lot of sense. ”
"As the old saying goes, seek its own government in its place. In the current position of the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion, he has always stood in the wind and rain, and he is very cautious and does not dare to act rashly. The imperial power and the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion have been stretching a string, if one day the string breaks, one is that the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion is overturned, but the imperial power is overturned, and the third is that both are lost. Xie Linxi said with emotion, "How many people are staring at the young lady of the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion, the sexual difference is good, and it will never be recovered." What's wrong with you not being a young lady from the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion? If the father and mother are not greedy, and the elder brother is not envious of Xie Shizi's identity, then the Xie family's long house is enough to be rich and noble for several generations. ”
Xie Yin looked at Xie Linxi quietly.
Xie Linxi turned his head to look at Xie Yin, sighed softly, and said to her, "Sister, the world is vast and the sky is high and the sea is vast, if you are affected by some selfish interests, then you can only live in the corner of your own siege." Even if one day, you get the wealth and glory that you have worked so hard to get, what can you do? That's not yours, and it won't necessarily be happy. ”
Is my brother's painting actually for Xie Fanghua? Why?
Xie Yin looked at Xie Linxi in amazement.
