"Mother Wang? Mama Wang! In the backyard of the palace, a housekeeper stood at the gate of the courtyard with her waist and shouted, looking left and right and seeing no one coming, she couldn't help frowning and muttering: "Where did the dead old woman go to hide, I caught her to see if the old lady didn't clean her up!" ”

"Mother Wang! Where have you gone! The housekeeper raised her voice, and now there was a response, and from a distance, she heard a slightly hoarse voice hurriedly agreeing, and then a lame old mother walked out of the yard, came to the housekeeper, nodded and said: "Mrs. Li, the old woman is behind her ears, and she is not awake." You have a lot of them, don't be angry, don't be angry. ”

When Mrs. Li saw Mother Wang's groveling appearance, she was both happy and displeased, and glared at her eyes and reprimanded: "Is it my fault that you have your ears back?!" Look at you like this, your legs and feet are not good, and you are not smart in doing things. You're so old, who will want you outside? It's also our princess and princess who have a good heart, seeing that you are really pitiful, and reluctantly accept you into the house. ”

"I'm you, I can't wait to be a cow and a horse for the palace! How can you be like you now, relying on your old age and all kinds of laziness. The more Li Niangzi spoke, the more energetic she became, and Wang's mother's waist was about to break, and she said with sincere fear: "Lady, how dare I dare my wife!" The palace has a life-saving grace for the old woman, and I don't want to be a cow or a horse, the next life is to cast a rotten stone, and it must be placed in the foundation of the palace. “

Mrs. Li pouted, "Even if you still know each other, hurry up, someone is calling in front." Mrs. Li turned around and led the way in front, Mother Wang followed behind, and after walking for a while, Mother Wang looked at Mrs. Li's expression and said tentatively: "Lady, where are we going?" ”

Li Niangzi helped her hair bun as she walked, and said casually: "Our princess and princess have been in Tianjin for a short time, and this garden is also sent by people in Tianjin in order to please the princess and princess. There are not many people like me who follow the princess and princess from the capital, and they can't manage such a large garden. So I bought some people in Tianjin. ”

"Yes, yes, who doesn't know that you are an old man who followed the princess out of the Jingyong Mansion." Wang's mother flattered repeatedly. Li Niangzi glanced at Wang's mother in surprise, "Yo, do you still know about Jingyong Mansion?" Where did you inquire again? ”

Mother Wang's face stiffened, and she was about to explain, when she heard Li Niangzi continue: "I said Mother Wang, although it is said that people go to high places and water flows to low places, you should also see what kind of virtue you are. You have no children, you are a cripple, and you are still in the grade. Even if you climb up, what else can you do? The princess has her own henchmen around her, Mother Qi is the old man who took care of the princess growing up, and Mother Liu and Mother Li are all people given by the old lady in the Jingyong Mansion. Not to mention that there are also Mother Qi and Mother Zheng from the palace. ”

"See for yourself, where is your place? You are either going to this steward all day long, or running in front of that red man, and want me to say, you might as well do your work honestly and peacefully, wait for a few years, get some money to settle down, and then let the housekeeper come forward to leave a place for you in the old people's hall in Tianjin, isn't it better than you are now everywhere and embarrassed? ”

Although Li Niangzi's words are mean, the truth is true. A trace of bitterness flashed in Mother Wang's eyes, and she said respectfully: "Yes, what the lady said is true." Mrs. Li glanced at Mother Wang, and saw that although she was respectful on her face, she didn't really listen to her words, and suddenly became unhappy, "Yes, even if I look panicked today, do you like to listen or not, you really think that others love to care about your." ”

Mrs. Li walked into a small courtyard with a displeased face, and Wang's mother hurriedly followed. When I entered the courtyard, I saw that there were rough subordinates everywhere, standing quietly with their hands down, and they didn't dare to gasp. Mother Wang hurriedly walked to the back of the line and stood up, and after a while, two well-dressed women and two handsome maids came out of the hall.

A steward in the backyard followed the four people with a roster, bent down and said, "Two mothers, two girls, these are all the rough people in the courtyards in the west, and there are few houses here, so there are not many people." They are all rough people who take care of flowers and plants, pulp laundry. The roster is here, please take a look at Qi's mother. ”

These four people are Mu Qingling's mother, Mother Liu, Yunxi and Yunjian. Xiao Lanwei returned from an injury on the dock at night, making Mu Qingling feel like a great enemy. In addition to immediately letting Chang Lin clean up the traces along the route they came back that night, on the second day, he asked a few housekeepers and big maids around him to check the palace's subordinates.

As Mrs. Li said to Wang's mother just now, there are few people they brought out of the capital, and they will inevitably buy people when they arrive in Tianjin. This one is in and one out, and there are few people who take advantage of loopholes. It's just on weekdays, but now the situation in Tianjin is about to become complicated, and Mu Qingling can't let the palace become Xiao Lanwei's worries.

In the past few days, Mother Qi and her sisters have lost this reason with the princess's bracelet, combed up and down the palace, and really found several suspicious people. Now this wave in front of her is the last batch of subordinates, and Qi's mother looks at it coldly, and they all look honest.

It's a pity that if these people were really as honest as their faces, they wouldn't be where they are today. Qi's mother took the roster and opened it, and began to ask people to come forward and ask questions one by one.

"Gross!" Mu Qingling lay on the side of Luohan's bed, pressed one hand to his chest, and half-covered his mouth with a handkerchief with the other, retching incessantly. Yunqiao stood beside Mu Qingling and gently patted her on the back. Inside, Xiao Lan, who was ordered to recuperate by Mu Qingling because of her injuries, scratched her ears and cheeks anxiously, stretched out her head and looked outside, "Ling'er, how are you?" Why don't I come out and have a look......"

Mu Qingling had just finished a period of nausea, and she couldn't lift her spirits, when she heard Xiao Lanhuan's words, her eyebrows straightened, and she said, "You lie back for me!" I almost cut it in half and don't know how to divide it! ”

Xiao Lanjun was afraid that Mu Qingling would be angry now, and her feet hadn't touched the ground yet, so when she heard that Mu Qingling was angry, she quickly lay down on the bed in an orderly manner, "Where is it so serious as you said...... It's just a cut, and although the wound has grown a little, it gets better quickly. Xiao Lan muttered. Mu Qingling rolled her eyes outside, too lazy to talk about him.

Seeing that Mu Qingling didn't vomit, Yunqiao hurriedly sent tea to Mu Qingling, and then went into the inner room to extinguish the burning smoker. Since Mu Qingling was pregnant, there was no incense in the house. Mu Qingling is sensitive after pregnancy, she can't smell any fragrance, and she is disgusted when she smells it. But Xiao Lanhuan's body is both blood and medicine, and others can smell it as soon as they come in, so Mu Qingling had to ask Yunqiao to light the incense burner again.

Every day, he only smoked a cup of tea, but it still made Mu Qingling suffer the boss's sin.

"Ling'er, I'd better live in a side room." Xiao Lanwei thought for a while, and then said, "This medicine still has to be applied for half a month, how can you stand it like this." Mu Qingling leaned on the Luohan bed to recuperate, and said lazily when she heard the words: "Okay, let's sleep in separate rooms, what do you let others say?" Lord, I can remind you. As you said before, I can't leave you at all after I became pregnant. ”

Xiao Lanwei couldn't remember when he said this, but now that the enemy was in the shadows, he didn't even have a clue who was doing things in Tianjin Port, and now he and Mu Qingling were cautious walking on thin ice, just for fear that someone would find out about his injury through clues.

Xiao Lanwei regretted that he had gotten carried away before, he thought about it, and said, "If I don't say that I messed with flowers and grass outside, I made you unhappy, so I was driven to sleep in the study by you......"

Mu Qingling laughed angrily at Xiao Lanhuan, anyway, she didn't feel uncomfortable now, so she simply stood up, walked to Xiao Lanhuan's bedside, and reached out to twist Xiao Lanhuan's ears: "Mess with flowers and grass?" Who is the flower? And who is the grass? What's the matter, my lord, do you still want to drag your sick body and go out to play for me? Can you be honest? ”

Xiao Lan shouted: "Wrong, wrong, wrong!" Madame, let go! Saving his ears from Mu Qingling's hands, Xiao Lanwei took Mu Qingling's hand and said, "Aren't I quick to talk for a while? Besides, I feel sorry for you too. You are weak, how can you stand such a toss? Mu Qingling looked at Xiao Lanhuan and reached out to touch the root of his reddened ear, "As long as you are good, I can stand anything." ”

Xiao Lanhuan's expression softened, and she said gently: "Okay, I promise you." It will be well in the future. Don't let you worry anymore. ”

Mu Qingling smiled, leaned over, and leaned on Xiao Lanlu's uninjured shoulder. Xiao Lanwei hugged her and gently patted her, comforting Mu Qingling's heart that she had never been able to let go.

The warmth flowed between the two, and before they could spread throughout the main house, they were interrupted.

"Lord, princess, there is a visitor." Outside the door, Yunxi raised his voice to preach, Mu Qingling raised his head and wondered, "Who is it?" Yunxi said slowly: "Yu Enzheng, Lord Yu." ”

Hearing Yu Enzheng's name, Mu Qingling and Xiao Lanwei were stunned. Yu Enzheng is from the Jingyong Mansion, but he is not the biological son of the old Guogong, when Mu Qingling entered the mansion, Yu Enzheng had been away from the mansion for several years. If you want to understand, she really doesn't know much about this titular "uncle". Yu Enzheng is now very important in Tianjin, and he has real military power in his hands.

At this time, Yu Enzheng suddenly visited...... Mu Qingling is at the time of sensitivity, and it is inevitable to think about the worst. Xiao Lanjun patted Mu Qingling's hand and signaled her to be calm.

"Let Lord Yu wait in the front hall for a while, and this king will be there later." Xiao Lanhuan instructed the people outside, Mu Qingling looked up at him with some concern, and asked, "Why did he come suddenly?" Will it be ......?"

"Don't think too much, I haven't been to the yamen for the past few days. Although it was said to the outside that you had a tire gas, I couldn't rest assured that I could accompany you at home, but in the end I was missing a few days of work. It is also normal for Lord Yu to come to visit. Xiao Lanhuan said as she stood up and changed her clothes.

Mu Qingling frowned, "That's what I said, but now that this time comes, I'm always worried in my heart." Although his surname is Yu, he is the son of his maternal grandfather. But I haven't gotten along with him at all, and I don't know what kind of character he is. You'd better be careful. ”

Xiao Lanwei thought a lot more than Mu Qingling. He stood in front of the dressing mirror, looked at the gauze on his shoulder, smiled and said, "Okay, I must be more careful." Later, I will inevitably act politely with others, you can help me wrap the gauze tightly and thicker. Just in case. ”21
