Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, You Shi, Li Kun, Sister Feng, Xia Jingui, Jia Rong's newly married wife Hu Shi, Tanchun and others were all sent to Jia's mother, except for a few close big maids, the other aunts, Tongfang, and maids were concentrated in the side courtyard, and everyone listened silently to the noise of the officers and soldiers coming and going outside the room, the sound of things moving in and out, the noisy screams of their own masters, and the crying of daughters-in-law and sons-in-law, and they didn't even dare to make a sound.

Jia Mu closed her eyes and silently counted the Buddhist beads in her hand.

After a long time, Mrs. Wang suddenly asked, "Why don't you see Sister Qiao and Brother Qi?"

The abrupt sound was particularly sharp in the quiet room.

Jia Mu opened her eyes, glanced at Mrs. Wang, who was a little vicious, the corners of her mouth raised mockingly, and continued to close her eyes and chant Buddha.

Sister Feng led Jia Cong, standing beside Jia's mother with her head down, motionless, and didn't bother to reply at all.

Li Kun, Xia Jingui, and Tanchun were sensitive, so they naturally thought of the Lin family.

Li Kun hugged Jia Lan, and couldn't help but feel resentful in his heart: Obviously, everyone is a descendant of the Jia family, and they have the same kinship, why does the Lin family only save the girl and brother in the big house? He is not very old, and he is only fourteen years old. Xia Jingui thought of what Baoyu said to himself, and Sister Feng helped him buy it, and entrusted it to the store under Lin Zhao's name, his heart moved, and his originally tense nerves relaxed inexplicably. Tanchun remembered the property he entrusted to Sister Feng, so he quietly pulled Jia Huan down and shook his head slightly. Although Jia Huan didn't know why, after all, after several years of training, it was no longer yesterday's Amon, not to mention that he knew that his boss gave him a "vacation", not a "dismissal", so he didn't panic after all.

You and Hu were worried about their own affairs and didn't dare to take care of it. Although Mrs. Xing knew that something was wrong, it might be a good thing for their big house, so she didn't say anything.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Mrs. Wang asked again, her voice was urgent and sharp, and there was a little urgency. But Sister Feng still ignored her. Mrs. Xing snorted coldly and said, "Sister Qiao'er, they naturally have someone to take care of, and the second wife doesn't have to worry about it." ”

Mrs. Wang turned her head, stared at Mrs. Xing fiercely and asked, "Someone to take care of?"

Mrs. Xing didn't speak, she looked at Sister Feng, and seeing that Sister Feng refused to look up, Mrs. Xing thought for a while, and then said vaguely: "Miss Feng, who is a mother, will naturally arrange it." ”

Mrs. Wang stared at Sister Feng, who was as petrified and unmoving.

Mrs. Wang said angrily: "Feng girl, you say, did you get any news first?"

Sister Feng raised her head indifferently, glanced at Mrs. Wang coldly, and then continued to lower her head: "Second wife, at this time, are you still making such a fuss?"

Mrs. Wang said loudly: "I want to ask you, do you have a way to resolve our family's affairs?"

Sister Feng sneered: "Second wife, who are you and I? The emperor in the court? Such a big matter, I am a woman in the house, I only have to resign myself to fate, where can I get the ability to solve it? Besides, who are you and us? and our family? Then please make it clear from the second wife, you and our family are two families, and the two rooms were separated last year, and we are just the same clan! Your family is the mother of the concubine, you are the biological mother of the concubine, and it is very noble, and our family cannot climb high. ”

Mrs. Wang's chest rose and fell angrily, so she had to glared at Sister Feng viciously, and said no more: Yes, there is still Yuan'er, how can I forget, our family still has Yuan'er in the palace as a concubine, as long as she is there, with what kind of wind and waves he is, our family can stand!

When Sister Feng saw that she had stopped, she smiled coldly and continued to bow her head to accompany Mother Jia to chant Buddha.

After what seemed like a century, the door of the upper courtyard was finally opened again, and the officers and soldiers rushed in and stood in two rows. The prince of Zhongshun slowly paced in.

Tanchun was escorted behind him by Jia Huan, and Mrs. Wang and Li Kun reflexively pulled Xia Jingui and Jia Lan behind them. The mandarin duck stood in front of Jia's mother, and was pushed away and pulled behind by Jia's mother, Sister Feng pushed Jia Cong into the mandarin duck's arms, and stood in front of Jia's mother.

Prince Zhongshun smiled slightly, and arched his hand: "I've seen Mrs. Jia." ”

With the support of Sister Feng, Mother Jia got up and saluted back: "The prince said that he was laughing, he was in charge of the crime, and the old body couldn't escape, but now he is just a sinner woman's ear, and he can't afford such a big gift from the prince." ”

The prince of Zhongshun said with a smile: "The old lady is the edict of the grandfather of the first country, and the royal brother thinks of the hard work of the grandfather of the first country, and he specially sends down grace, no matter what charges the two mansions of Rongning are, they can't involve the old Taijun, and the old Taijun left Zhuangzi and Yinliang to make the coffin book are also left." ”

Jia Mu then knelt down facing the east and bowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace." After getting up, Jia Mu asked, "Please also tell the prince what big crimes have been committed in our house?"

Prince Zhongshun smiled and said, "The charges in each province are different. So now the old lady asks the king, and the king doesn't know how to answer. ”

After hearing this, Jia Mu was not reluctant, but said: "In this case, the old body and others are waiting for the holy judgment." ”

Mrs. Wang couldn't help but ask, "Ask the prince, how is the noble concubine in our house now?"

Prince Zhongshun glanced at Mrs. Wang strangely, didn't hold back the ridicule in his heart, and asked: "Madame asked the concubine Niangniang?" But as far as this king knows, the imperial brother did not appoint the concubine Niangniang, and now the palace is just a queen and two concubines, and the queen mother does not need to say it, and the second concubine is also the virtuous concubine Wu family, and the German concubine Zheng family, where did the concubine come from?"

Mrs. Wang said anxiously: "Why not?" Xiande Concubine Niangniang, no, it is the Yuan Concubine Niangniang in our house, isn't it the noble concubine?"

"Concubine Yuan, is there such a concubine?" Prince Zhongshun pretended to think for a long time before he suddenly realized: "Oh, it turns out that Madam is talking about the Shangshu Jia clan of Fengzao Palace." She is just a small Wupin Shang Palace, how can she deserve to call herself a noble concubine? The rules of your mansion are really ...... Gee....... The prince shook his head and said: "No wonder Jia Yuanwailang will overstep the system, so it is so, he thinks he is the biological father of the concubine? ”

Mrs. Wang rolled her eyes and almost fainted on the ground, but was hurriedly supported by Xia Jingui.

The prince of Zhongshun suddenly clapped his hands, as if he remembered something, and said: "But that Jia Shangshu, this king heard that due to poor postpartum care, he seemed to have passed away last night?"

Seeing Mrs. Wang's eyes widen in disbelief, the prince of Zhongshun smiled again: "But it may also be that this king heard it wrong, in the end, it is a matter in the harem, this king is in the previous dynasty every day, where can I really hear it?"

Mrs. Wang completely fainted.

Xia Jingui and Tanchun hurriedly helped her to the chair and sat down, patting her chest and pinching people's tosses. Li Kun stood outside the crowd with Jia Lan in his arms, watching silently, refusing to step forward.

Jia Mu sighed: "Lord Wang, since you are in tolerance, the old body and others dare not keep it." It will take time for His Majesty to decide, and I beg the prince to give the ladies in the palace some dignity, so that they can be placed here or somewhere, and the old man will come out by himself. ”

The prince of Zhongshun smiled happily: "The old lady is kind, since you have opened this mouth, it is not easy for this king to be that wicked person." All the adult men were escorted to the temple of the prison god to await the verdict, and the women and the underage men should stay here for the time being. The food doesn't need to be used by the old lady to use his own coffin, someone has sent it in, but it can't compare to your past extravagance, the old lady and a few grandmothers and girls will still use it. After all, after these few days, it is still unknown whether there will be any in the future. After saying that, he laughed and went out.

After he went out, the officers and soldiers quickly retreated, locked the door, and left the men and horses to guard it.

I only heard the prince of Zhongshun say outside: "Give them some decency, and don't make people feel embarrassed." We don't know what the future holds, so let's take a closer look. ”

The generals said yes loudly.

Everyone in the courtyard breathed a sigh of relief for a while. At this time, Mrs. Wang woke up leisurely, and when she woke up, she cried her Yuanchun: "My poor Yuan'er......"

Jia Mu shouted angrily: "Foolish woman, don't stop talking!"

Mrs. Wang frightened Jia's mother, and her crying stopped abruptly, only tears flowed.

Jia Mu leaned on the cushion tiredly and said: "Now, you all have to stop a little, put away all the careful thoughts in the past, don't fight, find a place to stay in An'an, and wait until everything is out from here." ”

Everyone whispered yes, and each found a chair to sit on or lie down.
