After leaving the Qiong Gui Hall, the He family and the little He family returned to the Yongxi Hall.

The subordinates were all sent back, and only the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were left in the east room, and there was silence all around.

"Mother," Xiao He's eyes were red, with tears in his eyes, and he looked at He with an aggrieved expression, "I really don't know that Sister Wei and Sister Scarlet returned late because they saved the emperor...... It is really unfair to me that my father-in-law punished me like this! ”

Duanmu Xian has taken away her power, which will make her the laughing stock of the family!

He glanced at Xiao He lightly, there was no trace of emotion on his well-maintained face, and said, "You, your temperament is too frizzy." ”

This time the incident was originally caused by Xiao He's family, even if she didn't know that the pair of sisters would return late because they were walking with the emperor, without asking the reason, what would it be like to lock people outside the mansion, even if it was the pair of sisters who were wrong, it was not the reputation of Duanmu Mansion that was bad!

And Cen Yin is not an ordinary eunuch, he is a dignified eunuch, who is close to the emperor, dictates official documents for the emperor, and even "approves red" on his behalf, his power and the emperor's trust in him can be seen.

This time, the Duanmu family offended a narrow-minded eunuch like him, and I don't know if it will affect his daughter Duanmu Guifei, if Cen Yin gave his daughter and the eldest prince eye medicine in front of the emperor......

Thinking about it, He's eyes were slightly dark, and after a moment of silence, he said decisively: "Wanrong, you will send the account books and cards to the third daughter-in-law today." ”

"Mother......" Xiao He's eyes widened, the grievances in his heart were even stronger, and he wanted to say something, but He raised his hand slightly to prevent her from continuing to talk.

In the afternoon of this day, stacks of account books and pairs of cards were sent to the Cuiwei Courtyard in the northeast corner of Duanmu Mansion by Mama You and Mama Song, a close confidant of the Xiaohe family.

For the third lady Tang, all this came too suddenly!

Tang took a sip of tea in his cup, looked at the pair of cards presented by Mama You and Mama Song suspiciously, and asked, "Mama You, Mama Song, this is ......"

Mama You replied respectfully: "Back to the third lady, the second lady has been a little unhappy recently, and the second lady asked the second lady to recuperate for a while, so she asked the third lady to be the housekeeper, and also instructed the old slave to give the third lady a hand." ”

In addition to agreeing, Mama Song didn't dare to say much.

Tang didn't think so, she had been a concubine with Xiao He's for more than ten years, she knew best that Xiao He's had always been authoritarian, and when she was a confinement child, she never looked for a concubine to help her, and now she won't.

"The body is the most important, Mama Song, but I have to tell the second sister-in-law to recuperate!" Tang said with a worried look.

"Thank you for your concern." Mama Song replied dryly, and after that, the two mammas retired.

"Congratulations to the third lady for finally keeping the clouds open and seeing the moon." Tang's eldest maid, Zhihui, was overjoyed and congratulated. In the future, there will be three ladies in the house, and their three rooms will naturally rise.

Tang looked around at the account books in this half of the room, but his expression was faint and thoughtful: Xiao He's will suddenly be "sick", and nine times out of ten it is related to the holy decree in the morning......

Tang beckoned to Zhihui and gave a soft command, Zhihui left in a hurry, and then returned with a stick of incense. He's Yongxi Hall is as leaky as an iron bucket, and there is no news at all.

It wasn't until the end of the day that the third old man returned to Cuiwei Courtyard in Duanmu period, and Tang learned the ins and outs of the matter from him, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

It turned out that the reason why Duanmujun and Duanmufei didn't return last night was because of the delay in saving the car, but they didn't want Xiao He's to stop them and Na Cen Xiaogonggong at the door, and the emperor's grace ordered the eldest princess to take care of it, and today he specially issued a holy decree to reward him, which is also a great honor.

This time, it is said that the Duanmujun sisters are too lucky, and it is also that Xiao He's life is too smooth on weekdays, so they are too arrogant! The corners of Tang's mouth couldn't help but hook a mocking arc.

After Duanmu Qi finished speaking, he shook his head and sighed again: "The second sister-in-law is too, she offended the most unoffended person in the house for no reason!" Of course, he was referring to Cen Yin.

"Master, is the little father-in-law Cen who came to deliver the decree 'that one'?" Tang asked vaguely.

Duanmu Qi nodded, "Yes, the justice of the public who came to deliver the decree today is the eunuch Cen Yin." Since the Dongyang Party case, no one in the DPRK and China has dared to offend their Cen father and son. ”

Referring to the "Dongyang Party Case" two years ago, Tang's face turned slightly pale.

Two years ago, Lin Yushi, who was known as the righteous in the court, had joined forces with the then officials to impeach Dongchang Bahu, and was unjustly imprisoned, but was taken down by the people of Dongchang instead, at that time, it is said that it was the righteous son of Cen Gonggong who took the Dongchang factory guard to find out the evidence of the two bribes from the two's house, and also implicated many local officials, so that the court was noisy, and most of these arrested officials came from Dongyang Academy, and later became known as the Dongyang Party.

That incident caused panic in the whole capital, at least forty or fifty people were beheaded at the entrance of the vegetable market, and the blood flowed like a river, and it is said that the air was full of blood for a month, and the wind could not blow away.

To this day, recalling this incident, Jingzhong is still a little secretive, lest he speak inappropriately and provoke Dongchang.

However, Cen Yin won the emperor's favor even more because of this, and became the youngest eunuch in the history of the Dasheng Dynasty at the age of fifteen, and his power was monstrous.

Duanmu Qi said in a deep voice: "In short, everything you will do in the future according to the rules of the house...... It's just that those two sisters can't be offended now, otherwise they will send the handle to it themselves like the second sister-in-law. ”

"Yes, sir." Tang Shi lightly agreed, picked up the tea cup, and used the tea lid to remove the tea leaves floating on the tea soup, and his heart was clear: He is afraid that he is going to teach Xiao He a lesson, and he will always take back the power of the family in the future.

Duanmu Qi's face was irrepressible expectation, and he said: "Madam, today's emperor's holy decree rewarded the eldest brother with the position of General An Yuan, who has been hereditary for three generations, but Changfang has no children, who do you say this position will be hereditary?" ”

Duanmu's heartbeat accelerated by two beats, and he pressed the agitation in his heart, and continued: "There are no children in the long house, the eldest brother and sister-in-law have no incense, and they are not at peace underground, and the two sisters are still young, and without the support of their brothers, it is not a way...... I can't say that I want to succeed one. ”

Tang's hand holding the teacup paused in mid-air, and his originally cold face inevitably showed a hint of heartbeat: Duanmu was mediocre in his learning, and he didn't know how much worse than Duanmu Xian, at most, it was a further promotion...... The family is a three-room, although it is also a descendant, but in the future, this house will be inherited by the second room, and the family will at most share some land and silver, and then distribute it to the children and grandchildren even less.

If you pass your youngest son out, you can inherit most of the family business of Changfang justifiably and logically, as well as the position of General An Yuan of the three grades.

Tang took a deep breath and persuaded: "Master, this matter is not in a hurry......

"That's what Madame said." Duanmu nodded his head, calmed down, and said to himself, don't be in a hurry, this holy decree has just been issued, and Mrs. has just taken over the feed, so there can be no action for the time being.

After the couple talked about their children's homework for a while, Duanmu Qi left, and Tang sat alone for a moment before instructing Zhihui: "Zhihui, didn't the Zhuangzi I married today send some seasonal fruits?" You ordered someone to send it to each room, and you sent it to the Zhanqing Courtyard. ”
