Chapter 770: Bait
When Ming Yi arrived at the Xinchangfang mansion, it didn't take long for the rooster to crow, and she came early in the morning because she knew that Yin's mother was busy with the affairs of Chengwei Pavilion, and she was afraid that she would not be able to meet her if it was late.
The one who opened the door was a young man with a raw face, his eyes were still swollen, and he didn't wake up in a daze: "This lady, who are you?" ”
Ming Yi almost thought that he had gone to the wrong door, and looked inside, yes, this house belonged to him not long ago, how could he be wrong.
"I'm looking for Mother Yin." Ming Yi expected that he was Yinniang's new family, so he had to reply in a proper manner.
The young man frowned and looked at her twice, muttering that there was probably something urgent early in the morning, so he shouted inside: "Uncle Cen, someone is looking for you." ”
With that, he flashed and shook back.
When Cen Bo came to answer the door, there was frost on his face, and it was not until he saw that the person who came was Ming Yi that he smiled: "It turned out to be Ming Niangzi, please come in." ”
Mingyi followed him inside, and said, "I haven't seen Uncle Cen for a long time, I don't need to call it that, it seems to be raw, call me Mingyi." The one just now, the face is raw, and the new one? ”
Cen Bo snorted coldly: "Originally, after Mingyi left, I wanted to confront them, but Xiuyu advised me to be patient for the time being, and I will talk about it when you come back." I'll keep watch over it. Yinniang saw that I was an eyesore and spoke coldly, but I won't let them succeed, this is not their place. Therefore, she immediately hired a few new family members, and she was the only one. ”
Ming Yi smiled: "Yes, this is Mother Yin's house, don't worry about her." ”
Cen Bo's face was a little better: "Yes, after the prince came back, they moved out of the main building, and they almost quit the family, leaving only one to guard the door." ”
Ming Yi and Cen Bo greeted each other for a while, and when they arrived at the door of Yin's mother, they bowed to him and thanked him, and watched him turn around and walk away. The old man's figure is still straight, and his beard is whiter, Mingyi sighed in his heart, this deep affection for each other, I am afraid that it will be difficult to get repaid in this life, but so what, he should not regret it in his heart.
Mother Yin welcomed her in: "Mingyi got up so early. ”
"I'm afraid I won't be able to touch it when it's late." Mingyi smiled and looked out of the window, "I didn't see anyone else all the way in." ”
Yin's mother understood her intentions: "Don't look at it, Chu Boyan has already gone to Xishi, and Chu Niangzi took her daughter-in-law up the mountain early in the morning." ”
"Up the mountain?" Ming Yi was caught off guard and wondered, "What are you doing in the mountains early in the morning?" ”
Yin's mother couldn't hold back and said with a smile: "Don't you know, Yinniang's life has been hard recently." Chu Niangzi controlled all the use, and took her to the mountain every morning to pay homage to the son Niangniang, saying that while the body is still light, it will be 7749 days before he will be blessed, and the child will be smart and healthy. Although Yinniang begged Boyan for mercy and help, Boyan was also a filial child, and she felt ashamed to marry her daughter-in-law against her wishes, but now she is just tired of her flesh and skin, and she can't protect Yinniang. ”
Ming Yi thought that Yinniang was pulled to the mountain by her mother-in-law every day without waking up to be frozen, and she also felt that she couldn't cry or laugh, Chu Niangzi was used to getting up early, opening a rice shop, and going to the shop when it was still dark, waiting for the first batch of goods to be sent, especially the private salt business, but also to come and go when the population was sparse. Therefore, it has become a habit for her to sleep for two or three hours every night.
Since the two of them were not there, Ming Yi could only ask Yin's mother: "Mom, look at Yinniang's belly, is it true or false?" ”
Mother Yin looked at her in surprise: "Do you have doubts about this?" I didn't expect that if it was fake, she was very powerful, although she didn't show her belly too much, but she has been careful wherever she goes lately, and her figure seems to be a little clumsy. ”
Ming Yi told Mother Yin about her and Chu Niangzi's speculation, and Mother Yin nodded: "It's a pity, although I have seen a lot of things between men and women, I have never gotten along with pregnant women." We have an elixir in Xinglu Courtyard, and you know, we can't kill anyone. ”
Ming Yi asked: "In addition to pulling her to climb the mountain, what other actions does the prince have?" ”
"Oh, by the way, a few days ago, Chu Niangzi fell down, and asked Boyan to invite a doctor to come back to see her, so she said that she also showed Yinniang by the way. Nothing else is special. Yin's mother replied.
Ming Yi was a little disappointed and sighed: "If she was a fake in her belly, Chu Niangzi would have already kicked her out of the door, and she would also contact me." Since she managed to get a doctor to see her, the stomach must be real. Now, I'm afraid that Chu Niangzi has no other way than to polish her temperament and make her obey. After all, it's her grandchildren. ”
Yin's mother pondered for a while: "She takes Yinniang up the mountain every day, is it really just to tame her?" Do you want to take the opportunity to have some accidents and make this child lose ......?"
Ming Yi shook his head: "First, this child is her grandson, and she loves her son like her life, let alone her own grandson." Second, if Yinniang accidentally lost a child, what would happen to Chu Boyan? will feel more guilty, love her more, and want to separate the two, which is as difficult as heaven. ”
Mother Yin also frowned: "I heard that Chu Boyan no longer has any real power, and even the accounts of the underground market are taken care of by Chu Niangzi. How long do you think Yinniang can endure it? ”
Ming Yi naturally knew that when she sent the jewelry given by Yin's mother to the underground market for sale, she met Chu Niangzi and knew that she had the intention of breaking the kettle. In order to solve Yinniang's matter, she would rather take out her own family funds, post money to her subordinates to run errands, make up for their losses, and hoard the collected private salt in the warehouse, ready for a month or two. She just wants to make a posture that even if she doesn't care about the private salt business, even if the Shangguan gang suffers great losses, she must look at her son and not let him be swayed.
Yinniang is not such an easy person to deal with, she can grit her teeth and hold it down, she must want to gamble, bet that Chu Niangzi can't lose her business in Yangzhou, and bet that she can't tie Chu Boyan to her side for a lifetime.
When Ming Yi left the mansion, he asked Yin's mother to leave a sentence for Chu Niangzi: "Yangzhou Qionghua is blooming, it is a good season." ”
She believed that the princess would understand. Isn't it a gamble? She can't watch Chu Niangzi insist on going her own way, and really lose the private salt business, if those private salt merchants can't ship the goods, they can endure it in the short term, and after a long time, they will definitely take risks, and there are many people who want to snatch Chu Niangzi's profits. For example, the Shentu family.
The best way now is to let Chu Niangzi bring Yinniang back to Yangzhou together, even if Chu Boyan can't bear it, he can accompany him back, but he will never leave Yinniang and Chu Boyan alone. Yinniang can't stay in Yangzhou to give birth, she will definitely have other actions, if there is someone behind her, that person will also surface.
Mingyi told Uncle Cen that if Yinniang had any strange behaviors or correspondence in the past few days, he must pay attention.
She waited for the fish to take the bait.
