CHAPTER XV
It has been three days since the second lady entered the palace, and bad remarks began to circulate in the house.
"I heard that the old lady took the second lady and divorced the second lady, and now she has sent someone to pass on the second master to come back and marry him again."
"It's the second lady who can't think about it, and she dares to make trouble about the major events of the Pei and Li families."
"No, but if I am the second lady, I will have to make a fuss, after all, it is a pity to lose a good family like the Pei family", some of the subordinates showed sympathy, even pity, for the second lady's experience.
"You are just a subordinate, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, even if the second lady returns home, she still lives a life of fine clothes and fine food, what is there to sympathize with." Some subordinates are envious and faintly jealous.
Some of the old people in the mansion have seen the boxes of dowries when the second lady entered the mansion, which can definitely be described as rich.
Qingyan passed by the backyard when she went to the main courtyard of the eldest lord, and happened to hear a group of subordinates whispering together, and when she saw that it was her, she suddenly held her breath and called "Fourth Miss" in a low voice.
Qingyan stared at them closely, and the subordinates looked evasive, shrunk their necks in fear, and they had long lost the momentum of the high-minded talk just now.
"I heard that the old lady's mother Zhang has been ordered to arrest the people who chew the root of the tongue in the house these days, if you don't want to be killed and set an example, it's better to do more things and talk less."
A group of subordinates suddenly turned pale, poofed a few times, knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Qingyan and begged for mercy: "Fourth Miss, it is the slaves and maids who are wrong, please spare your life for Fourth Miss, don't tell the old lady, otherwise...... The slaves and maidservants will be sold."
Qingyan had a cold face, didn't say good or bad, and walked through the weeping flower gate with green and red and went directly into the main courtyard.
She has been extremely indifferent and indifferent in the past few days, as if the second lady's affairs have nothing to do with her.
Only the people of Zhuxuanju know that the young lady who has always loved to sleep in the past has slept late and got up early these days, and she is also in a daze on weekdays, and she doesn't like to laugh as much as before.
Qingyan entered the main hall and saluted the eldest master Li Bo'an first, and called softly: "Uncle."
"Mother, do you have any news, are you okay?"
The eldest lord's face was not good, his eyes were slightly tired, he rubbed his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "No, your mother didn't enter the palace through the palace gate at all, except for Concubine Shu, no one in the palace knew that she had entered the palace, let alone her news."
It is estimated that except for Concubine Shu, no one knows whether your mother is okay or not.
Not even the Divine Prison Camp I sent out could find out the slightest bit about her."
That's exactly what happened!
Qingyan's heart turned a thousand times, it seems that the eldest uncle can't do it here, who else can she find help now?
"Uncle, is there anyone else who has a way, only if we know where our mother is, we can find Concubine Shu and ask for someone, otherwise...... The niece is worried that her mother's bones are gone."
The old man's face changed suddenly, but a pair of wise and sharp eyes revealed that he also thought that this would be the worst outcome.
"Yan'er, don't think about it, now in the palace, in addition to the concubine, there are also the queen and the concubine, she can't cover the sky with one hand, it's really not good, the uncle will go to the queen and the concubine to help."
Qingyan was stunned for a while, and said with some concern: "Can ...... Concubine Shu is your own sister, my aunt, you went directly to the queen and the concubine, this is not directly imprisoning the official wife and abusing lynching to stab her.
When the time comes...... If your aunt falls, you and the second room will become the sinners of the Li family......."
The further back he went, the lower his words became, almost inaudible.
The eldest lord smiled bitterly and said: "If she is allowed to continue to be so willful and arrogant, I will not only be a sinner of the Li family, but also a sinner in the world."
The eldest lord has always been full of disgust for this sister who is like a mother and has become the concubine of the monarch.
She is arrogant and mean, so strong and widowed, she is worse than the old lady.
If it weren't for the fact that there was a noble concubine in front of him, the harem of Qi would be full of corpses and rivers of blood, and every time the subordinates of the Shenjian Camp reported the news about the Shufei back to the Shenjian Camp, he would hand it over to others to deal with.
Qing Yan wanted this sentence, she lowered her eyes to hide the coldness in her eyes, as long as the eldest lord of the head of the family was willing to fight against Concubine Shu, then she and her brother could find a way to pull her deeper into the water in the back.
And before she can make a move, she must determine her mother's position in the palace.
The elder brother said that the lady did not dare to blatantly execute her mother, but it would be easy to abuse her.
And they can only follow this clue to find someone, as long as someone in the palace touches the mother, they will leave traces.
It's a pity that there is no Yi Zhi in the palace, except for the old lady, no one in their house has the right to enter and leave the harem at will.
Now, she and her brother need someone who can enter and exit the harem to find traces and clues for them.
said goodbye to the eldest master, said hello to the eldest lady, and Qingyan went out with Biqing.
The elder brother said that the old lady Yu who came to pay the gift for the Pei family that day was a good candidate.
Out of the Li Mansion, across a street, in the northeast direction, close to the gate of the palace of Miyagi is the Yu family's mansion.
When Qingyan knocked on the side door to report to her home, the subordinates seemed to have been waiting for her for a long time, and led her directly into the east courtyard.
The old lady of the Yu family hid under the eaves of the cloister of the main house with a booklet, and the recliner made a creaking and swaying sound.
"The younger generation has something to disturb the old man, please forgive me for the disturbance", Qingyan bowed respectfully.
Old lady Yu got up from the chair, his wide sleeves hung down on both sides, he shook casually, his face was red, full of energy, and said in a thick voice: "The little doll is Liduo, the old man expected you to come, what do you say"!
Qingyan smiled lightly, originally she came with the heart that she would be rejected, it is said that the old lady of the Yu family is a person who is not good at talking, and if the officials in the court have something to trust, he will refuse them all.
Qingyan was no longer restrained, and said generously: "Mother was brought into the palace by Concubine Shu, and now even the eldest uncle can't know her situation, and the younger generation wants to ask the old lady to help enter the palace to find news."
Old lady Yu stroked her white beard, her face was contemplative, and the light in her eyes was bright, as if she was extremely unhappy when she heard the word concubine.
"Go back! The old man will ask his wife to enter the palace to check on you, but if you haven't received the news tomorrow, you can go directly to the palace to find the eldest prince of the Wang family, and he will definitely have a way."
"The eldest son of the Wang family, which family is the old lady referring to?"
"Langya County".
After the words fell, Old Lady Yu had already waved at her with her back, signaling that she could leave, and then entered the hall alone.
A quirky old man!
Qingyan left the Yu family with a wry smile and went to the downtown in the west.
In a few days, it will be Qingming, everything grows, all are clean and clear, everywhere is full of vitality, even the people who come out of the downtown are full of vitality.
