Chapter 7: Hou Ye warned
"What did you say?" After listening to Mama Wang's report on what happened outside Jingyuan, Xiao Yuyan stood up from the soft couch suddenly. "She actually beat the Taoist priest?"
"Yes, ma'am, that woman is terrible now, the old slave suspects, she is possessed by evil spirits!"
Mama Wang is convinced of the theory of ghosts and gods, but Xiao Yuyan has her own ideas in her heart.
It seems that the previous poison did not poison the woman, and what happened in the past few days was also deliberate.
"Madam, what are you going to do now?" Looking at Xiao Yuyan, Mama Wang asked.
"She's definitely not a corpse, nor is she possessed by a demon, that is, she has a big life, and she hasn't been poisoned!"
Hateful opening, Xiao Yuyan's eyes flashed with murderous intent, she had to kill Yan Su!
"Madam, why don't you send someone directly ......" Mama Wang knew Xiao Yuyan's thoughts, she stretched out her hand and measured it on her neck, meaning to directly find someone to get rid of Yan Su.
"No, that's too conspicuous." Waving her hand, Xiao Yuyan frowned slightly, and then sat down, she was thinking about what method to use to get rid of Yan Su who lived in Jing Garden.
"Madam, my lord is here." The little maid came in from outside the house and said back to Xiao Yuyan, after listening to the little maid, Xiao Yuyan quickly got up from the soft couch and stretched out her hand to comb her sideburns.
"Mama Wang, how do I look?" In front of Shen Xiao, Xiao Yuyan has always cared about her image, not to mention that Shen Xiao has not come to her yard for a long time, she must find a way to keep Shen Xiao.
"Madame, don't worry, don't say it's in the Hou Mansion, it's the entire capital, your beauty is unmatched." Hearing Xiao Yuyan ask herself, Mama Wang smiled and spoke.
With a smile on her face, Xiao Yuyan walked towards the door, and when she saw Shen Xiao, she rushed to him, "Say hello to the master." ”
"Get up." After helping Xiao Yuyan, Shen Xiao raised his feet and walked towards the house, Xiao Yuyan hurriedly followed, and when she saw Shen Xiao sitting on a chair, she stood beside him.
"Condensation, make a cup of good Tieguanyin for the master." After commanding the maid, Xiao Yuyan looked at Shen Xiao, "Speaking of which, the master has not been to Lanyueju for a long time, even if he is busy with official business, he must pay attention to his body." ”
Hearing Xiao Yuyan say this, Shen Xiao turned his head to look at her, "I heard that you have been very lively here recently, so I came to take a look." ”
Shen Xiao said this, which made Xiao Yuyan's expression stiffen for a moment, she understood what Shen Xiao meant, and he was really unhappy.
"Lord, please calm your anger, concubine body...... The concubine ......, "Xiao Yuyan doesn't know how to say it, could it be that she invited a monk and a Taoist priest to overtake Yan Su, who was not poisoned at all?"
"Lord is angry, everything is the fault of the old slave, it was the old slave who instigated the lady, and invited the Taoist priest and the monk to pray for the blessing of the Hou Mansion."
Mama Wang knelt on the ground, and at this time, she was the only one who was a slave to take care of the master.
"I didn't know that there were still dead souls in the Hou Mansion, and someone would drag them down and beat them for thirty boards." After listening to Mama Wang, Shen Xiao opened her mouth lightly, his eyes were still staring at Xiao Yuyan, making her want to ask for love, but she couldn't open her mouth.
Mama Wang was gagged and dragged down, and Shen Xiao withdrew her gaze, which made Xiao Yuyan breathe a sigh of relief.
Glancing in the direction where Mama Wang was dragged away, Xiao Yuyan's eyes flashed with worry, Mama Wang is already old, and she doesn't know if she can withstand the thirty boards?
"Master, the concubine's small kitchen has recently figured out a lot of new dishes, can you stay here at night to use the concubine?"
Although she is worried about Mama Wang, for Xiao Yuyan, what is more important at the moment is to keep Shen Xiao in her own moon center.
"I'll have to go back to the study to deal with official business in a while, so I won't eat." The tea had already been served, and Shen Xiao took a sip of the tea cup next to him, "I heard that the Taoist priest and the monk who came here are practicing in Jingyuan, isn't Jingyuan abandoned for a long time?" ”
Shen Xiao's question made Xiao Yuyan's heart startled, what she was most worried about now was that Shen Xiao knew that Yan Su was in Jingyuan.
"If you go back to your father, everything is Mama Wang's idea, just because Jingyuan has been abandoned for a long time, so it is done in Jingyuan."
Anyway, Mama Wang has already been beaten by the board, and it should be okay to simply push the matter on her.
Xiao Yuyan said this, Shen Xiao didn't speak, the more he was like this, the more Xiao Yuyan felt that his heart was hanging.
After marrying into the Hou Mansion for so many years, even if she can now be in charge of internal affairs, she still can't guess Shen Xiao's thoughts, and in front of him, she always feels that she has nowhere to hide.
"Now that the internal affairs of the Hou Mansion are in your hands, in this case, you should have some ideas for yourself, don't listen to people in everything, if you really feel that you can't make up your mind, you can rest well in the future and let others take care of the internal affairs."
Putting down the teacup in his hand, Shen Xiao stood up, he looked at Xiao Yuyan in front of him, and said lightly.
"Yes, keep in mind the concubine," Xiao Yuyan felt uncomfortable in her heart, and she blessed Shen Xiao, and Shen Xiao reached out to help her up, with a slight smile on her face.
"You have worked hard to take care of your housekeeping, I have found you two good woven cloud brocades, which will be sent from Suzhou in a few days, and you will make yourself two new clothes when the time comes."
"Thank you." Shen Xiao's attitude changed quickly, which made Xiao Yuyan stunned at first, but she immediately reacted and saluted Shen Xiao shyly.
"Well, then I'll leave and come to see you another day." patted Xiao Yuyan on the shoulder, Shen Xiao turned around and left Lanyue Residence, Xiao Yuyan was sent to the gate of the courtyard, and when she saw Shen Xiao walking away, she retracted her gaze.
Back in the house, Xiao Yuyan ordered someone to find a doctor to see Mama Wang's injuries.
Leaning on the soft couch, Xiao Yuyan pondered what Shen Xiao said today, saying that he warned himself, but in the end he gave himself a reward.
The woven cloud brocade is an excellent material, which can only be worn by nobles in the palace, but he specially found it for himself, which shows that he still has a heart for himself.
But if it wasn't a warning, why did he hit Mama Wang and say something like that?
Thinking like this, Xiao Yuyan decided not to take care of Jingyuan for the time being, and let the people in Jingyuan fend for themselves, and then find a way to deal with Yan Su when she finds a suitable opportunity in the future.
After all, today's incident has already made Hou Ye Shen Xiao notice Jing Yuan's side, if he makes any more moves, in case he finds out that Yan Su lives there, he is afraid that he will cause trouble for himself.
…………
"Auntie, I went to Lanyueju just now, and it is said that I beat the grandmother next to Aunt Xiao."
Listening to the rain pavilion, Forsythia came in from outside the house, smiled and said to Lian Wanrou, who was practicing calligraphy.
"It's strange, it's so decent, why did you beat the people around her?"
The pen in her hand didn't stop, and Lian Wanrou asked Forsythia, who had already arrived at her side, while practicing calligraphy.
"At that time this morning, there were Taoist priests and monks practicing outside Jingyuan, and the master has never liked these, probably because of this."
Hearing the master's question, Forsythia gave Lian Wanrou what she knew.
"Jing Yuan? Hasn't it been abandoned for a long time? What kind of trick did she do there? ”
Lian Wanrou was a little puzzled, and after writing the last stroke, she looked at Forsythia.
"The slave maid heard that the one lives in it now, yesterday, the slave maid heard someone say that Jingyuan is haunted, deceitful corpses or something, it is estimated that Aunt Xiao has a weak heart, right?"
Among the Hou Mansion, the most popular one is probably Lian Wanrou of the Lian family who lives in Tingyu Pavilion, and she is also Shen Xiao's concubine.
Shen Xiao has several concubines, and the most favored ones are Xiao Yuyan and Lian Wanrou, which is why in addition to Yan Su, Xiao Yuyan's other confidant is Lian Wanrou.
That is, because Lian Wanrou is popular, it is easier for Forsythia to want to know something outside.
"That one? You're talking about the new lady? Raised her eyebrows, speaking of which, even Wanrou and the new lady Yan Su had only met once, and after that, they never saw each other again.
I heard that I was sick, so I moved out of the original garden, but I didn't expect that it was moved to Jingyuan.
"It's the new lady, I didn't expect Aunt Xiao to be so ruthless, the Jingyuan has been abandoned for a long time, the new lady is a young lady, and if she goes to such a place, I'm afraid she won't live long, the slave heard that the maid Lan Xin next to the new lady is dead."
"What did you just say about the corpse?" After listening to Forsythia, Lian Wanrou remembered what she had just said, and asked her again.
Hearing Lian Wanrou ask about the corpse, Forsythia walked to the door with her feet up, glanced out of the door, and made sure that there was no one, so she returned to Lian Wanrou's side and lowered her voice to speak.
"The slave maid heard that Aunt Xiao sent Jin Se to poison the new lady, and thought that the new lady would definitely die, but she didn't want to take someone to collect the body the next day, but the new lady didn't die!"
"The slave maid also heard that the new lady in Jingyuan is very powerful, not only frightened Jin Se and Mama Wang, but also cleaned up Mother Zhang, and broke the Taoist priest's head this morning, the slave and maid estimated that Aunt Xiao will definitely not give up."
Told everything she knew to her master, after hearing Forsythia, Lian Wanrou's expression was very surprised, she really didn't expect that Xiao Yuyan would dare to poison the new lady.
"It seems that the new lady is not simple, but she lives in Jingyuan by herself, and there is nothing in Jingyuan, and I don't know how she survived?"
"Forsythia, in the past few days, you have helped me keep an eye on the movements over there in Jingyuan, and if there is any news, you will return to me immediately."
Looking at Forsythia, Lian Wanrou opened her mouth and commanded, Forsythia answered, and continued to accompany Lian Wanrou to practice calligraphy.
Yan Su didn't know that he had already attracted the attention of another woman in the mansion at this time.
Looking at the room he was living in, Yan Su was eating the fruit he got back this morning, while thinking about how to improve the environment in which he lived.
Anyway, now I live here, and now the weather is fine, but it's okay to say, if God doesn't open his eyes one day, it rains a few heavily, then wouldn't he be miserable?
