Chapter 252: Assassination
Xiao Gu felt that Ru Yao's love in the past few days was very abnormal.
She sat quietly in the room alone, and retired everyone, including the big maid, thinking about it for a long time, and even eating and living were lazy.
Xiao Gu couldn't see it, so he personally poured her a cup of tea, and when he handed it to her, he found that Ruyao's eyes were a little strange, looking at himself directly, a little infiltrating.
She's probably still sad about what happened that day, right?
A lady of all the people, fell into the water in the public court, was rescued by the cousin in the next room, wet and lightly hugged together, although everyone knew that it was to save people, but it always hindered her reputation - besides, this was in her fiancΓ©'s house, and Yuan Ergongzi was also very cold and unfamiliar with her.
Xiao Gu felt pity for Ru Yao, and there was a secret of sympathy hidden in her heart, so she tried her best to explain and laugh with her, but Ru Yao's love was even lower.
Mother Qin was distressed when she saw it, seeing that Ruyao was locked in the room all day, and she couldn't let her go out to relax.
The opportunity is very soon, Mrs. Tai has to go to the Linggu Temple outside the city once a year to incense, pray for the seven masters who are fighting outside, this is a very solemn thing for her, the house has to spend a lot of effort to prepare, every time you go is a mighty front and back hug, not only to close the temple door for special reception, but also to give a lot of money to the temple.
Today, it is not as good as in the past, Guangsheng has attacked the title of Marquis of Jining, although he has not had time to take care of the affairs of the palace for the time being, but the financial power has been pinched in the hands of the chief steward he reappointed, although the steward below has not moved, but the money on the account is this, whoever wants to be extravagant must report to know, and even the amount of money withdrawn at one time is limited.
All in all, although Mrs. Tai's honor remains the same, she wants to do whatever she wants like in the past, hehe. That's not going to be able to.
Previously, Mrs. Tai liked a group of juniors to flatter her and say auspicious words, and she had to be pleasing to the eye, and it was an honor to follow her to the temple to make incense, this time she also wanted to take a tune, but Guangsheng said lightly, "It's all girls in the house, why bother with who you don't bring, is our family still short of that money and manpower?" β
Although Mrs. Tai's eyes were bulging with anger, she could only stop - after several open and dark confrontations with the bookkeeper, she also suffered a lot of hidden losses. I know very well that the men are doing errands outside, and the women are staying at home, and it is not easy to handle it.
Let you be proud for a few days...... When you discuss marriage, this matter will be in my hands, and I must marry you a "good daughter-in-law"!
Mrs. Tai thinks so, how can the Wang family not, but she has been disturbed by her daughter's misdeeds for a while, and she is bent on dealing with Ruyao, plus Guangsheng is running errands and rarely comes back. So there was no conflict for the time being.
"What kind of incense, I'm afraid that all the Buddha has heard for so many years is how she prayed that our people would die and be unlucky, so that her precious son could come back to take the throne." It's a pity, this time the chicken and eggs are beaten, the Buddha didn't bless her at all, she still has this leisure! β
Wang watched Yao's mother and the maids sorting out the clothes and jewelry for tomorrow's incense. While reclining on the chaise longue and mocking her mother-in-law, the title has flown away, and she no longer shies away from sarcastically mocking her mother-in-law.
"Anyway, the knighthood is in our room. Although that kid is rebellious, he can't deny my mother-in-law, this is a name of etiquette, and he can't violate it, as for Mrs. Tai, it's different, it's not his own grandmother, it's just a steproom, and no one listens to what disobedience and unfilial piety! β
It is inevitable that there will be these things in the families of the noble and noble eunuchs, a grandmother who is a stepmother, she also has a biological son, and she has to be a powerful person in the mansion of her grandson who is not her own, and this is not confident, but it is the Wang family, even if Guangsheng hates her again, there is no reason to disrespect her mother-in-law, so the Wang family feels that she is more confident than Mrs. Tai, and is no longer cautious in words and deeds, and dares to semi-openly ridicule her stepmother-in-law.
"Are all four young ladies going this time?"
"Go, my majestic son said, and let the sisters relax and breathe."
When Wang talked about this promising concubine, she still lost a sentence with sour and hate, and then she glanced at Yao's mother, who asked the maids to step back, and Wang said in a low voice: "Have you arranged everything?" β
"My distant nephew did it himself, it's absolutely appropriate, don't worry."
Yao's mother looked mysterious, and whispered in her ear: "The people are all found in the mountains outside the city, they are all homeless, and they often rob the hunters in the mountains on weekdays, and they all have the strength and kung fu in their hands, they are all bachelors, and after the matter is over, they will run directly to the deep mountains and old forests in southern Anhui, and no one will want to catch it!" β
"Don't make too much of a fuss......"
Wang's eyes flashed, and he remembered something and admonished even more: "Just do it directly, don't let them do that beast's thing - they are all girls in the house, if Sister Yao is insulted, her other cousins don't want to have a good reputation!" β
Yao's mother agreed: "Of course, we are not such unruly people, we are always a family, if it weren't for Miss Ruyao, who didn't know each other, why would you make such a decision!" β
"Or our lord wants to be a clean official, if he is willing to release Jiangnan Yanzheng and the like, where can he worry about 100,000 snowflake silver!"
The Wang family was a little unhappy, but after all, he still knew the severity: Shen Yuan is now by the emperor's side as a Hanlin bachelor, which is a good time to raise hope, and the three Yang bachelors also did this job in the early days, and the family is so poor that the old wife almost cooks it herself!
All, Ruyao's share of property is very important, and it must fall into her hands - this time she sent Yao's mother to the princess's mansion to test the tone, to see if there is still attention to Ruyao, if she really matches the eyes of the princess and the Yuan family, she can't use this method!
Who knows that it is really a godsend, the princess seems to be very indifferent to Sister Yao, Yao's mother and that Aunt Hong have been close for a long time, and they have climbed up to the kiss around the bush, that Aunt Hong said, Yuan Ergongzi seems to have another sweetheart, and the princess always takes his intentions as the main thing, so she doesn't have much obsession with Ruyao.
Withdrawing from relatives is an obstacle to the reputation of the Marquis of Jining, and it will also be rumored to be unpleasant to the outside world, if Ruyao unfortunately has an accident, it is the real consensual agreement - Wang thought so, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes.

On the second day, there were many vehicles in front of the Hou Mansion in Jining, people and horses, Mrs. Tai took a sedan chair, and all the ladies and dependents sat on several Cui Gai Zhuying Eight Treasure Cars and Zhu Lun Hua Gai cars, followed by four green cloth oil canopy cars, which sat the next people.
All the deacons in front of them were set aside, and Guangren and Guangping rode horses to lead in the forefront, so handsome and pretty, which attracted the children of the small family on the side of the road to stare at each other, and secretly envy in their hearts. (To be continued......)
