Jiang Rong just wanted to be furious, but when she heard the words of the maidservants, she restrained her originally angry temper, sat up, and the personal maid took a soft pillow behind her, and brought her a cup of hot soup to warm her stomach by the way.

Jiang Rong took a sip of hot soup and asked lightly, "Who is the girl in your family?" Maybe I went to play elsewhere, slept in another girl's dormitory, and came back at noon. ”

The maidservant knelt down and replied, "If you go back to my aunt, my girl is Pei Shan, the eldest daughter of Du Wei Haozhe, and she lives with you in the south hall. The girl is not a person who does not return home at night, and she is not familiar with other girls, and does not sleep in the halls of other girls. ”

Jiang Rong closed her eyes sleepily, thought for a moment, and said slowly: "Oh, I remember, the girl in the main hall on the south side was still arguing with the concubine of the General's Mansion yesterday, she is so sharp and clever, she will be fine." Dare to ask Chu Xiugong, who dares to argue with her? Who would dare to offend her? Well, go back and wait, don't make a fuss. ”

When the two maidservants heard this, it seemed quite reasonable, Pei Shan's temperament and temperament they understood, they couldn't bear the slightest grievance, flaws would be reported, and those who offended her would inevitably ask for hardship.

So, as if they had taken a reassuring pill, the two replied while getting up: "What my aunt said is reasonable, and the slave and maid will retire first." ”

Jiang Rong watched them leave, a little disdain flashed in her eyes, and she muttered to the maid beside her: "This woman is really uneasy!" If she is promoted to a concubine, won't she make the harem unpeaceful? It's only the next day that you're in trouble with me! When was she making trouble last night? Did you know? ”

The maidservant diligently waited for Jiang Rong to get up and wash, and replied casually: "Listening to the rumors of the slaves and maids, Miss Pei Shan in the main hall smashed a lot of things, and then shouted to find the girl from the Prime Minister's Mansion, ran out alone, and ordered all the subordinates to kneel and introspect, disgusted that they were useless. At the beginning, the minions all knelt honestly, and when they didn't see Miss Pei Shan come back in the middle of the night, they went to rest and rest. Who would have thought that this morning when Miss Pei Shan had not returned all night, he was frightened, and hurriedly ran to tell you. ”

Jiang Rong looked at the bronze mirror, held a golden bead flower and put it on the Liuyun bun, and said disgustedly: "This person, I'm afraid I don't know it." Pei Shan is only the eldest daughter of the captain, and compared with the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the General's Mansion, the difference in status is not a star and a half. Besides, those who can live in Chuxiu Palace are all daughters of big families and have family backgrounds as backers. It's just that she wants to be in the limelight, what is she not going to provoke Tang Anxia? Don't look at the slap of the queen's mother, the woman is still a promising master. ”

The maid took a pale pink cotton robe and draped it on Jiang Rong's back, and took a milky white jade bracelet and put it on her wrist, flattering and flattering: "Auntie, you are really amazing, you can understand the temperament and temperament of the girls in Chuxiu Palace in just one day, and the slave maid has studied for three or five years, which is less than one-tenth of my aunt!" ”

Jiang Rong raised her face proudly, with a confident smile on her lips, and slowly walked out of the room with her aunt's shelf, the maid had already set up breakfast on the round table, and the delicious food was quite sumptuous. As the only person in charge of Chuxiu Palace, taking care of the diet and daily life of all the show girls, Jiang Rong's food and clothing are exactly the same as those of the ten show girls, and even the clothes and jewelry are worth a lot of money.

The sun is shining like spring in the early morning, and according to the rules of Chuxiu Palace, the show girls have to learn the etiquette of the palace for ten days, including piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, embroidery by female workers, speech and behavior, etc.

After breakfast, everyone gathered in a huge open space in the middle of Chuxiu Palace, and Jiang Rong stood at the front to tell them about the palace rules.

After saying a few words, Jiang Rong's sharp eyes swept the cheeks of each show girl, and she was stunned, and the words changed, mixed with a little surprise: "Hasn't Miss Pei Shan come back yet?" ”

The show girls looked left and right, looked at each other, shook their heads at each other, and no one knew where Pei Shan went.

Jiang Rong frowned slightly, and muttered secretly in her heart: Could this woman really be missing! It was only the next day that she got into trouble, and when she was found, she had to be handed over directly to the queen mother!

Jiang Rong asked coldly, "Who of you has seen Miss Pei Shan today?" ”

The whole courtyard was silent, and no one answered.

Jiang Rong's heart sank suddenly, and she immediately ordered her subordinates: "Go and find it!" How can a good person disappear? Whether it is the east hall or the west hall and the south hall, no corner is allowed to be spared, and you must see people alive and dead to see corpses! ”

Immediately afterwards, he scolded the solemn-faced show girls: "I don't care how willful you were when you were daughters in the house!" How arrogant and unruly! When you enter the palace, put away your cunning for me! Put away your little tricks and little tricks! The palace is a bottomless place, how can you be allowed to mess around? ”

The show girls bowed their heads: "Yes, the courtiers remember their aunt's teachings." ”

Jiang Rong began to pace back and forth uneasily, she always felt that no matter how foolish Pei Shan was, she would not flout the palace rules, and if she wanted to be the prince's concubine, she would inevitably learn every etiquette in the palace carefully.

Unless, she really ...... It's gone.

The work of a stick of incense is longer than ever.

The minions came one after another: "Back to Auntie, Miss Peishan was not found in the east hall." ”

"Back to Auntie, I didn't find Miss Pei Shan in the West Temple."

"Back to Auntie, I didn't find Miss Pei Shan in the South Palace."

"Aunt Hui, I found it! Got it! I've found Miss Peishan! ”

One of the last servants who came to Tongyu rushed over with a rush, I don't know whether he was panicked or scared, he actually fell on his heels, he hurriedly got up, patted the dust on his sleeve, and knelt at Jiang Rong's feet, shouting indistinctly: "Auntie, I found Miss Peishan...... She, she's ......"

"What's wrong with her, tell me quickly!" Jiang Rong roared impatiently.

The minion trembled and said, "She, she's dead!" ”

Jiang Rong was stunned, blinked, thinking that she hadn't slept well last night and was dizzy and misheard, and asked again: "You, what did you say?" What happened to Miss Peishan? ”

The slave was so frightened that he didn't dare to raise his head, and said tremblingly: "Auntie, something is wrong! Miss Pei Shan, she ...... She died in the lake by the woods! When the minions found there, they found the body of a woman floating on the lake, and when they salvaged it, they saw that it was Miss Peishan, who had been soaked and did not look good, but the aunt still didn't want to see it! ”

The show girls in the courtyard instantly lost their faces, and a woman who was arrogant and domineering yesterday has become a ghost in the lake today?!

Will it be the turn of one of them next?

Tang Anxia was also really surprised, but when she raised her eyes, she found that Manwen, the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, was looking at her with a speculative gaze, as if she was suspicious......
