Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Queen Mother is angry
As soon as the Queen Mother heard that Zhang Manjing had sent a rouge box to Miss Qin before leaving Jiayu Mansion, she also heard that Miss Qin was the favorite woman of the three princes.
In a fit of anger, the Empress Dowager asked the emperor to recall the three princes back to the palace and put them under house arrest.
Before finding out who killed Zhang Manjing, no one was allowed to let the third prince out of the palace.
Of course, the emperor was unwilling, and always locked the three princes in the palace, so he persuaded the queen mother, saying that the three princes were also adults, and it was time to find relatives for the three princes.
When the third prince gets married, he won't like that Qin girl anymore.
No, the queen mother thought that what the emperor said was reasonable, so she asked the emperor to quickly issue an order to let the three princes get married.
Shang Xiaoxiao's words carried some schadenfreude: "The third prince likes Miss Qin, so to speak, the third prince that Xin Yan mentioned to me in the letter is the third prince?" ”
安王爷 says:
"I sent someone to inquire in secret, the third prince is in Jiayu Land, whether it is his master Shi Jinlin or which secret guard beside him calls him 'Third Prince'."
Shang Xiaoxiao sneered and said:
"It's right that the third prince doesn't marry Miss Qin. Although Miss Qin is the daughter of a scholarly family, she had a marriage contract before she met the third prince. She quit her family, which is no different from being divorced by others. If Miss Qin wants to marry someone in the future, I'm afraid she can only marry someone else as a concubine like me. ”
Qin Li, who was sitting in the private room, felt through a wall how deep Shang Xiaoxiao's hatred was for her.
If she wasn't worried that her true identity would be discovered, she really wanted to rush out and slap Shang Xiaoxiao! It's good to give Shang a little bit of color to see.
But in order to get some news smoothly, Leng couldn't help it.
Just then, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside the house.
Qin Li hurriedly collapsed on the soft couch and pretended to be asleep.
The cup of tea that had been placed on the wooden table before, she had already poured more than half of the tea out when the window was opened. Then he closed the window and continued to eavesdrop on the small words of the monk Wang Ye.
Soon, someone opened the door to the private room.
Qin Li heard the sound of the door opening, and pretended not to know, and continued to pretend to be asleep.
I heard one of the women say, "Look at her like this, she sleeps hard enough." Go and search and see how much money she has on her. ”
Upon hearing this, Qin Li felt worried in his heart. If you let people search for it, won't they know that she is a woman?
At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the house:
"Knock, knock."
A woman standing in the private room replied, "Here it is." ”
"Miss Yan asked you to come over, saying that Fu Gongzi painted for her, and she was tired after sitting for so long. Let you go over and pinch Fu Gongzi's shoulders. ”
"Okay."
After these words fell, Qin Li quickly heard the sound of the door opening.
It is estimated that the women have already walked away, and they thought to themselves, it is time to leave. Anyway, it cost nearly thirty taels of silver to come here tonight, and it was worth it to inquire about some news.
Qin Li tried to open the door of the private room, but found that it still couldn't be opened.
Before opening the door, Qin Li picked up the teapot on the wooden table, smashed it against the wooden door, and said, "Open the door, open the door for the master." Otherwise, you're welcome. ”
As soon as the words fell, the wooden door of the private room was quickly opened.
Qin Li saw a plump woman standing at the door, smiling apologetically at her and telling her:
"Childe, you can dissipate your anger. The concubine is closed to you, so that no one will disturb you and affect your rest. Look at you, you misunderstood us. ”
Qin Li sneered in his heart, not believing the lies that person told at all.
Seeing that the man was standing in front of her, it seemed that he didn't want her to leave because he didn't give her a reward. A strange smile curled up at the corner of her lips, and she said:
"I came to you, I didn't drink, I didn't listen to music, and I didn't let you hang out with me. Are you standing in front of me, do you want to go home with me? ”
A trace of astonishment flashed in the woman's eyes, and the little white face in front of her was not too shy. Maybe I didn't bring much silver taels with me when I went out, and I didn't dare to stay here for too long, for fear that I wouldn't have enough money.
Thinking that he is just a poor ghost, go, let him go.
The woman didn't even raise her eyelids, and wanted her to go back with him, but there was no door.
Qin Li saw that the woman was very disdainful, knowing that the woman would no longer block her, so she immediately reached out and pushed the woman away, and quickly got off the boat.
Early the next morning.
Qin Li took a carriage to the pharmacy and told Hu Langzhong that she had heard that one of the maidservants in the family had gone missing and wanted to find it.
Hu Langzhong proposed to let Qin Li go to the yamen and talk to the prefect, so that someone could help her find it. Jiayu City is so big, she is a weak woman, and it is difficult to find that handmaiden.
Qin Li listened, and soon took a carriage to the mansion.
Of course, Guo also followed Qin Li's side.
Arriving at the gate of the mansion, Qin Li stepped forward to beat the drum, and after a while, a man in black walked out and took Qin Li to the hall.
Standing in the hall, Qin Li saw the person sitting in front of the desk, a man in a black costume with extremely sharp eyes.
When he was guessing in his heart whether that person would be the prefect of Chu's mansion, a muffled sound sounded in Qin Li's ears, and it was the person who slapped the shocking wood.
After hearing the man's question, Qin Li saluted the man and said:
"My lord, the girl came to the government this time to ask for help."
The prefect looked at Qin Li with serious eyes and asked:
"Tell me about it."
Qin Li saluted again and said:
"My lord, this morning, the maid heard the maidservants of the family say that there is a maid named Mozhu who has not returned after going out last night. The folk girl came here to ask the adults to send someone to help us find Mozhu. The women of the people should be grateful. ”
This dog guan, I want to ask him for help, I'm afraid it's not easy to ask. Say it first, don't let him help them in vain, let him know that she is a generous person, just fine.
"If you lose a servant girl in your family, you will come to the government of Jiayu Mansion and ask the official to help you find someone. Hmph, you are the government of this government for your family? ”
The prefect's words were evident in his displeasure.
If a servant girl is lost, she will be lost, and it is not a big deal. He also came to the government to find them to help. What about when they are idle?
Qin Li heard the over-the-top sound of the words, it was the prefect who was complaining about her, and she made a big fuss.
But she didn't think there was anything wrong with her coming here and asking the prefect to do her a favor. She boldly stated her reason for being here:
"My lord, the folk girl has no such intention. The women of the people came here with witnesses. Someone can prove that Mo Zhu went out to see a person several nights before leaving home, and that was Fu Yu. ”
The prefect's lips curled up with a hint of mockery, and he asked:
"Your maidservant is lost, and the first person to suspect is Fu Gongzi. It seems that your misunderstanding of Fu Gongzi is quite deep. You must have heard of the current situation of his family. He has to take care of the household and take care of his younger brother and sister, where will he have the spare time to meet your maidservant? ”
The implication is that just because she has a deep hatred for Fu Gongzi, the matter of Mo Zhu's disappearance cannot be counted on Fu Gongzi's head.
Qin Li understood what the prefect meant, and could see that the prefect was favoring Fu Yu.
It's just too deceitful!
She was very unconvinced. There is such a prefect, it can really be described as the sadness of the people of Jiayu Mansion.
