On the first night, Shi Qingqi, Jing'an, and even the eldest lady slept until the middle of the second day.

Jing'an was reluctant to return to her county lord's mansion, so the eldest lady couldn't bear to send her away, but only two days later, she sent a small servant to the county lord's mansion to report the news that Jing'an was recuperating in the Hou Mansion at this time.

When the little girl came back, her face was very bad, saying that Mrs. Zhong, the mother of the county lord, was sending her subordinates to make flower cakes, and she didn't care about the news of Jing'an's return, but just said lightly, "I know", and thought he was in the way, and told him to come back quickly.

"This Mrs. Zhong is really a mother in vain!" The little guy said indignantly in front of the eldest lady and Shi Qingqi, "I have never seen anyone who doesn't cherish her children more than her!" ”

What kind of person Mrs. Zhong is, everyone already knows it at this moment, to put it bluntly, she is a vulgar lady with no culture, she only knows that she values power and money, whether it is a husband or a daughter, she is regarded as a tool to take power and money.

But her attitude towards her daughter, who had been missing for several days before being rescued, was so indifferent.

The eldest lady sighed, fortunately Jing'an was still cultivating in the room at this time, otherwise if she heard this kind of words, how sad she would be, "Okay, don't make a noise about this matter, you know the trouble." ”

"Yes...... the little maid understood that the eldest lady was not blaming, but reminding herself, "The little one understands." ”

After the little guy retreated, only Shi Qingqian's mother and daughter, who were drinking tea and eating snacks, and a few maids such as Xiaolian Xue Ying were left in the pavilion.

Father Shi Yuan naturally has to enter the palace every day to manage politics, and his brother Shi Ke also enters the palace.

Shi Ke had already told Shi Qingqian that in recent days, he began to enter the palace as the companion of the fifth prince Shen Mi, which was actually to help him take care of some of the government affairs. However, since Shi Qingqian was taken away, Shi Kejing couldn't settle down, and Shen Mi had to agree that he didn't have to enter the palace first, and let government affairs go.

Now Shi Qingqian came back safely, Shi Ke also had motivation, and after taking a look at Shi Qingqian early in the morning for the past two days, he hurried into the palace to deal with the mountain of government affairs.

And Shi Qingqian has always wondered why he hasn't seen his eldest brother Shi Nian for a long time, and after a little inquiry, he learned that he left home with his uncle Shi Heqing, who was in charge of the second room, to go out on errands.

Shi Qingqian still enjoys the time when there is only a mother and daughter, the love of the eldest lady is very different from the love that Shi Ke gives her, she can't do anything in front of Shi Ke, she is taken care of by him like a wasted person, but here in the eldest lady, she can happily go to flutter butterflies and pick mulberries with Xiaolian Xue Ying.

Although the eldest lady loves her, she expects her to grow up soon, so she will naturally not restrain her too much.

So after Shi Qingqian ate a piece of peach blossom cake, he asked the eldest lady seriously: "Mother, what is Jing'an's mother's background?" As the wife of the deputy general and the mother of the county lord, she is so unworthy of the position, no one dares to touch her? ”

Other people's affairs, the eldest lady was reluctant to let Shi Qingqian get involved, and only wanted to let her grow up carefree, but after this incident, the eldest lady has realized that even if she doesn't cause trouble, she will always become a thorn in the side of people with a heart.

Although this matter may have been done by someone in the family, one day, others will have a bad idea of her, and the people of the Hou Mansion can protect her for a while, but they can't protect her for a lifetime.

Out of such considerations, the eldest lady secretly decided to treat Shi Qingqian as a big child in the future. Her precocious wisdom should not be buried by her own selfishness.

"Madame Zhong is the queen's sister." The eldest lady said.

"Queen?" Shi Qing was suspicious.

The name of the queen, she only understands that it is the mother of the crown prince Shen Xuan, and I heard that the emperor was not optimistic about Shen Xuan, but because of the existence of the queen, he had to make him the crown prince.

Because the emperor only takes Concubine Shu with him when he attends any occasion, she has never seen what kind of person this queen is.

The eldest lady explained: "The queen's father, Mo Wenchang, is the current left minister, the elder brother and the younger brother are both in the army, the elder brother is the current general of the protector of the country, and the younger brother has a lower official position, but he is also a small commander with some status. It can be said that the whole family of the Queen Mo family is in this court, and the power is so huge that even the emperor must avoid her for three points. It is often said that half of this palace is the queen's ......"

Only then did Shi Qingqian understand why Mrs. Zhong was able to be domineering, it turned out that she was just relying on her status as her clan sister, clan brother and uncle of the same clan, "It turns out that ...... Everyone saw the queen's face and let the rampant woman run rampant. ”

The eldest lady smiled, as if she didn't care, "Originally, this Mrs. Zhong is just the daughter of the Mo family, although marrying Vice Admiral Zhong means to be the queen, but the original purpose of the queen is to contain the Vice Admiral Zhong, once he dies, there will be no more role she expected." ”

In other words, this Mrs. Zhong is just the queen's abandoned son. Especially after Madame Zhong became the mother of the county lord, the queen's attitude towards her became even more indifferent.

However, after all, she is still a member of the Mo family, and she is still a sister with the same surname as the queen, so people are still somewhat afraid. Not the fear of the vulgar woman, of course, but the means of the queen.

These things, Shi Qingqian can naturally understand. I didn't expect that the queen, who rarely showed up, would have such a strong background and layout.

"Alas, such a sassy girl in Jing'an, it's really pitiful to have such a mother." Shi Qingqian was worried about Jing'an's fate, and he couldn't eat pastries at this time, his elbows were on the top of the chair handle, and he held his cheeks, looking like a little adult.

Ignoring the relationship between the queen and Mrs. Zhong for the time being, Mrs. Zhong is too ......

Seeing Shi Qing's eyebrows frowning a few furrows, the eldest lady reached out to poke her with doting eyes, "Okay, don't always follow the old appearance of your father and brother, beware of this little face turning into a bitter gourd face." ”

Shi Qingqian pouted, and said to the eldest lady: "Is Qian'er distressed Jing'an...... It's pitiful that she doesn't have a mother like me......"

"You little mouth...... the eldest lady was angry and wanted to laugh, saying that she was distressed about Jing'an, but she unconsciously patted her ass, and she finally rubbed her head helplessly.

Being gently caressed by the eldest lady, Shi Qingqian's mood also improved, so he picked up the pastries placed on the table and ate them again.

I only hope that Jing'an's injury will heal soon, Shi Qingqian has secretly decided that if Jing'an is unwilling to go back, she will definitely beg her father to help Jing'an find a suitable place to live.
