Chapter Forty-Seven: Aunt Qiu's
Qiu repeated Fang Cai's words again, but for some reason she was a little timid in the face of Yan Makeup, clutching the corners of her clothes, and her eyes unconsciously glanced at Qin Huai.
"What proof do you have of what you said?"
Yan Zhengcheng naturally couldn't casually let an outsider into the house, first of all, she couldn't confirm the authenticity, and she couldn't conclude that it wasn't Qin Huai who was looking for someone to make trouble.
Second, this concubine's entry into the mansion was not good for her and the Bai family, how could she tolerate a pregnant person to conspire with her in the family business. In case this matter goes wrong, then the first thing she did after taking charge of the family would not be done well, wouldn't it make Qin Huai grasp the sore spot.
Qiu Shi frowned, his heart tightened, and then he saw the money housekeeper who was circling on the side, and hurriedly pulled him to the center, with tears in his eyes.
"I know this money housekeeper, that is, he arranged a place for me to live, and he has been taking care of our living for the master, after the master Yan learned that I was pregnant, he said that he would take me over after telling his wife, but I didn't expect this to be half a month, even if I waited, my child can't afford to wait."
Yan Xiangcheng glanced at Steward Qian, who was still stunned, and asked angrily, "Steward Qian, is there really such a thing!" ”
"Second Miss, this ......"
Looking at his hesitant appearance, she knew that it was indeed true, eighty percent of the children in this woman's womb were her father's, but Yan Cheng was even more out of idea now, she still didn't know if the child's father really wanted to stay, and if he made a mistake in a thought, he would make his father angry.
And this woman chose to appear at this time, it must not be just for the sake of the child's future......
After thinking about it for a while, Yan Xiangcheng asked angrily: "This matter is not trivial, how can you know and not report it?" ”
"This ...... The old man is indeed acquainted with this little autumn lady, but after all, this is also the master's private matter, and the old slave doesn't know anything, if the young lady wants to ask, wait for the old man to come back. ”
Steward Qian was sleek, he didn't admit or deny it, he only said that he didn't know about this matter, and it was completely returned to his uncle's hands, seeing that Yan Makeup was going to kick this woman out, Qin Huai found the right time to speak again.
"Now the prestige of the Yan family and the life and death of this lady are just between the second young lady's thoughts, since the second young lady is in charge of the house, then you have to find a foolproof strategy, right?"
She said this to give Qiu's a wake-up call, she didn't feel that Yan Xiangcheng was not welcome, seeing that it was not a way to go on like this, she quickly stood up and looked directly at Yan Xiangcheng and threatened.
"No matter what I Qiu Ling says, I am also a woman from a good family, so naturally I won't frame your Yan family with empty mouths and white teeth, but you blindly stop me from letting me see Master Yan, aren't you bullying our orphans and widows! If you don't give me an explanation today, even if I take this life, I will sue the state pastor! ”
Sue in front of the state pastor?
This is a big case that directly skips the government, the city lord, and the prefect, even if the lawsuit is successful, the Qiu family is estimated to have to get in. Originally, Qin Huaizhi just wanted her to cry, make trouble, and hang herself, and make some noise near Yan's house, but she didn't expect that she would dare to say anything.
There are a total of 12 seongju pastors in the 36 states of Tianyu, and generally only the important prefectures of Gyeonggi or the border towns and towns will have them. The position of the state pastor is more powerful than the position of the city lord, and he can judge important cases and assist in the deployment of defenses, if he really wants to report to the state pastor's mansion, then the ancestors of the Yan family really want to dream of his uncle to make him look good.
As soon as he heard this Qiu Shi say so seriously, Yan Xiangcheng was also a little panicked, so he could only step forward and persuade him.
"This lady, this matter can only be settled when my father comes back, if you are really pregnant with the flesh and blood of our Yan family, our Yan family will never treat you badly."
Seeing that this method worked, Qiu Shi was afraid that people would suspect that he was enjoying the blessings with his stomach, so he changed his rhetoric.
"The slave family came here today to ask Master Yan to give a letter of approval, if he dislikes the birth of the slave family and is unwilling to care about our orphans and widows, we will never force it, it is a big deal to go back and forth, and we will never covet one or two pieces of silver from your Yan family! If he takes pity on us and is willing to take us in, our mother and son must be grateful to Dade, and the slave family is even more willing to be a cow, a horse, a slave and a maid to repay it! ”
The more she said this, the more clear the people became about her purpose, ostensibly sympathizing with her plight, but in fact sneering.
Yan Chengcheng gave the maid beside him a look, and ordered: "Why don't you take the person down and settle it down, and then invite a doctor to come, in case this lady bumps into you, can you afford it?" ”
Finally, the maid at the bottom arranged for the Qiu family to rest in the side room first, and the matter came to an end for the time being, but Yan Xiangcheng stopped Qin Huai and didn't let her leave after the subordinates dispersed.
"It's a coincidence, my mother was only grounded yesterday, and today a woman from outside came to the door to shout, does my cousin think it's a coincidence?"
"There is no coincidence that things in the world are not written, maybe God can't wait to give my sister a chance to perform, don't let me down."
Qin Huai didn't bother to say much to her, so he put down the words and bypassed her.
"This time, the eldest lady actually listened to our orders, even if it was something that would endanger her mother's position, she put up with it, princess, how did you persuade her?"
Mingyue was fast-talking, and as soon as she arrived at a place where there was no one, she pestered Qin Huai for an explanation.
In fact, from the last time Qin Huai persuaded her to attend the spring banquet, to how to plan how to support the boat for her, she had slowly informed Yan Biyu of the situation in this mansion.
"She understands the situation, Bai's past few times have embarrassed her uncle, but she still doesn't repent, if she helps her to abuse and has a makeup to share with her, when will she come out? It is better to abandon the darkness and turn to the light. ”
Mingyue couldn't hide her joy, and praised: "The eldest lady usually makes a fool of others, and the slave maid has always treated her as stupid, and now she understands this truth, and it is really the princess that you teach well." ”
"You girl."
Walking and stopping along the way, when the two came to the gate of the courtyard, they happened to see a jade slave with slightly swollen cheeks standing outside.
She was still dressed like when she came to serve Qin Huai, but she had lost some weight in a few days, her lips were also gray, and there were deep and shallow fingerprints on her face.
"Yu Nu asked Miss Cousin to say goodbye, and the slave received a punishment from the second lady, and the second lady said that there was no empty room for me, so she asked me to come back first......"
This makeup is intended to make Qin Huai uncomfortable, this is only the first day, which makes the jade slave swell his face in front of him, who is this diaphragm.
Yunu spoke intermittently, afraid that Qin Huai would not want to see her. The three of them clubbed at the gate of Qin Huai's courtyard for a while, Qin Huai remembered the conversation between Fang Cai and Yan Xiangcheng and had an idea, and asked hurriedly.
"If you sincerely repent, I have one more thing for you to do."
As if he had received some gift, the jade slave knelt down without thinking about it, stretched out his finger and swore to the sky.
"Please also ask Miss Biao to command, even if you take your life, the jade slave will never complain!"
Qin Huai stared at her movements, and he was a little unnatural, and pulled her up.
"It's not as serious as you said, that is, from now on, I'm afraid there will be one more aunt and wife in the mansion, this new master is always short of people to take care of when he enters the mansion, I think you are a suitable person with a shrewd mind."
Yunu was a little incredulous, and hesitated to say it when the words came to his lips.
"Mrs. New Aunt? Miss Table: This is ...... Want to drive the jade slave away? ”
At this time, Mingyue couldn't stand it anymore, and spoke out to stop her sensationalism.
"The master arranges an errand for you, and you can trust you, that's how you are suspicious of the master?"
"Jade slave don't dare!"
The jade slave learned a lesson and lowered his head again, and replied in a deep voice.
Qin Huai knew her worries, so he explained again, "It's not that you stay with her all the time, it's just that you can take care of it a little bit, and report anything to me." You are the one who walked out of me, and if you serve in the past, you will definitely not disgrace me, and you must also distinguish what to say and what not to say. ”
Yunu nodded, as if he had been encouraged, and he had lost his previous resistance.
"Let's go back to the medicine first."
Qin Huai didn't rush back to the courtyard, but admired the newly grown peach blossom buds outside the courtyard with Mingyue.
Yunzhou is southern, rich in peaches, peach blossoms are the most common flowers in Yunzhou, their branches are generally not tall, but they have their own shape, bending and oblique with a trace of tenacity, is Qin Huai's favorite appearance.
"Why did the young lady leave this matter to the jade slave to do?"
Mingyue followed Qin Huai to enjoy the flowers, but she was still thinking about Fang Cai's affairs.
"Do we have a better candidate?"
There are indeed no candidates, but they may not have to do it, Qin Huai does have other intentions.
"Yunu has offended everyone in the mansion, and now only we can help her, but this punishment is not over yet, I don't want Yan Xiangcheng to treat this as a pastime for me. Besides, Yunu knows a lot, and she can also tell the Qiu family about the situation of the Yan family, if she takes care of her well, she has a long face in front of the Qiu family, and she can stay in the Yan family in the future, which is a good thing for us and her. ”
The Bai family also said before that the jade slave is the slave maid of the Yan family, and the deed of sale is also written on the Yan family, this time she is not good enough to do things but becomes the basis for Qin Huai to set up a bureau, and other people in the house will naturally not be with her.
Qin Huai didn't want to see such a maid of her heart being buried, and it was good to spend money to practice, besides, by the Qiu family's side, it didn't mean that it was not a kind of protection for her.
"The princess also suspected that someone would secretly make a move on the Qiu clan, so she asked Yu Nu to go over and keep an eye on it?"
Mingyue still didn't think too deeply, just guessed.
Qin Huai walked forward, raised his eyes to look at the peach blossom branch as tall as himself, and said with a smile: "Actually, this woman's life and death have nothing to do with us, I just don't want this matter to end too simply." ”
Bang Bang –
It was the sound of a flower branch breaking, Qin Huaiyang took down a peach branch with his hand and handed it to Mingyue.
"Find a nice bottle and keep it on the windowsill."
