In the past, when the Yongchang Earl's Mansion was still the head of the old Yongchang Uncle, although Xiao Jin had a lot of favors around him, in terms of favor, Concubine Liao could be ranked first.

When Concubine Liao was favored, where would she treat Xiao Jin with such a humble and scared attitude, as if she was facing a great enemy.

Xiao Jin sat on the seat, squinting at Concubine Liao.

"I didn't expect the princess to have such a high status in your eyes now." Xiao Jin said meaningfully. "I didn't expect that since you were rescued by her last time, she is also willing to give you full authority as the steward of the county king's mansion, it seems that your relationship is indeed much better. Did she really tell you nothing about what happened in the front yard this time? ”

After that, Xiao Jin suddenly made a move, grabbed Concubine Liao's wrist, and pulled her to his side. Concubine Liao didn't have time to react at all, so she was pulled and sat down at Xiao Jin's feet.

Concubine Liao was so frightened that her pretty face suddenly turned pale, and she subconsciously wanted to pull her wrist out of Xiao Jin's hand, but she couldn't struggle at all with her little strength.

There was a sneer on the corner of Xiao Jin's mouth, and he leaned down slightly and pinched Concubine Liao's jaw with his other hand, forcing her to raise her head to meet his eyes.

Concubine Liao's whole body trembled like chaff, and her eyes were instantly filled with crystal tears.

"Your Highness, what is this doing?" Concubine Liao plucked up the courage to speak. "Is there something wrong with the concubine?"

"No, you're doing a great job." Xiao Jin said with a gloomy gaze. "You know what? I didn't want the lives of the two maids, and I just wanted to know something from them that I wanted to know. But they really couldn't help beating, and they only beat about 20 rods before they died, but you have to collect their bodies for them. ”

"That's the concubine's business, and it's not hard work." Concubine Liao was forced to raise her head, and her eyes had to meet Xiao Jin's eyes.

At this time, Concubine Liao had to secretly rejoice in her heart, fortunately, although the Hu family did not tell her the inside story of the matter, he also greeted her in advance. also let her answer his words more connivingly after facing Xiao Jin like this today.

"You have to remember that the person who can really be the master of this county palace has never been her Hu family." Xiao Jin let go of the hand that was shackling Concubine Liao, Concubine Liao sat down on the ground, Xiao Jin leaned down and whispered in Concubine Liao's ear. "You're a smart guy, and you have to take care of some things yourself."

Xiao Jin got up straight and left Concubine Liao's courtyard, and after he went out, the maid beside Concubine Liao dared to come forward to help Concubine Liao.

"Concubine Fang, are you okay?"

"I'm fine." After Xiao Jin left, Concubine Liao calmed down a lot. "It may not be very quiet in the house during this time, you all have to give me some warning, you know?"

"Yes, side concubine, the slaves and maids have written it down."

Later, Concubine Liao also made a special trip to see the Hu family and told her about Xiao Jin's unprecedented trip to her yard.

"It's okay, you're handling it well." Hu patted Concubine Liao's hand and said to her with a smile. "But this time, whenever and wherever he mentions this matter in the future, you just need to answer him with such an answer."

"But the princess of the county, I don't seem to be right with the current princess." Concubine Liao remembered the situation when she was pinched by Xiao Jin's jaw that day, and she still felt palpitations. "The county king also told me that he is the master of this county palace after all."

"Are you stupid because of him, we are the king of Jinjun, he is the king of Jinjun, and he is in charge of this mansion." Hu Shi said calmly. "It's just right that he said this, the two of me are just unfavored princesses and side concubines, no matter what the county king wants to do or do, he will not inform you and me in advance. But this is the most beneficial for you and me, so that if he really does something irreparably wrong in the future, it won't involve you, me and the children too much. ”

"The princess of the county." Hu Shi got to the bottom of the matter, and Concubine Liao heard it vaguely, but she also felt cold all over. "Is the king of the county really going to do something rebellious?"

"We don't have to care about what the king of the county wants to do, because only in this way can we have a chance to argue in the future, and at least we can protect the children of you and me." Seeing Concubine Liao, Hu couldn't help but be frightened, and hurriedly spoke to comfort her. "You coped well last time and remember the same in the future. I can't help but be you, and I'm even more so. ”

"Hmm... Well...., the concubine body has been written down. Concubine Liao gradually calmed down at this time, and was even more determined to take the Hu family as the head of the horse in the future.

Xiao Jin is no longer the lover who Liao Fang Fei felt in her heart in the past that she could entrust for life, at this moment, Liao Fang Fei's state of mind is exactly the same as that of the Hu family, as a mother, even if Xiao Jin commits crimes in the future, she can't be alone as a family member in the county king's mansion, and she can also try to protect the child.

"But if you are really scared during this time, invite your sister-in-law, the people from the Earl's Mansion of Yongchang, to come to the mansion to drink tea and talk." Hu Shi gave Concubine Liao an idea. "You've got to make the county king remember, though you've fallen out of favor in front of him right now. But after all, your identity is still the concubine of the county king who is serious about the jade of the clan, you are a young lady from the Earl of Yongchang's mansion, not comparable to the fox women who surround him all day long and invite favors. Even if he doesn't like you anymore, he can't do anything about you. ”

Hu Shi's words made Concubine Liao suddenly realize, easily left Hu's courtyard, and immediately decided to go back and write a post to invite the Lady of Yongchang's Count's Mansion to come over to talk.

Xiangdong watched Concubine Liao leave with a relaxed expression, and couldn't help but turn her head to look at Hu Shi worriedly.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Hu Shi held the teacup in both hands, took a sip and swallowed it slowly, her mouth was full of tea, and she asked with a smile. "You and I have been servants for many years, and I know that you have something to say, and if you have something to say, you can just say it."

"Princess of the county, the slave maid has recently noticed that the guards under the county king are always circling outside our courtyard day and night." Xiangdong said worriedly. "Didn't the princess of the county also take the idea for Concubine Liao? The princess of the county has a higher family background than Concubine Liao, not to mention the princess of the county, your father and brother are more powerful in front of His Majesty, isn't the princess of the county ready to invite the duchess to come over? ”

"You're right." The Hu family is also aware of the changes around his yard. "I wrote the post of inviting my mother and two sisters-in-law to come over yesterday, and since you mentioned it today, you can go back to the Liguo Mansion for me and give this post to my mother, speaking of which, I haven't seen my mother for a while."

"The Duchess has only two daughters under her knees, and the second lady has been married for many years, but the situation of the princess of the county makes the Duchess even more worried." Xiangdong is the son of the Liguo Mansion, and he was selected to serve the Hu family when he was a child, so he is naturally very familiar and clear about the environment of the Liguo Mansion. "The last time the slave went back to do errands for the princess of the county, the duchess of the country also sent someone to call me to go to her, and carefully asked the princess of the county, the young master, and the young lady about their food, clothing, daily life, and physical condition."

"Yes, although my sister is married far away, she can't come back to see her parents once for many years. But her husband's family is simple, her in-laws value her, and her husband loves her, and compared to my situation, my sister's life can be described as very comfortable. Thinking of his sister who he hadn't seen for many years, Hu couldn't help but sigh. Perhaps, if I hadn't been too arrogant and bent on marrying into the royal family, my father and mother would have also chosen a family for me that was similar to my sister's husband's family, and sent me to marry and live such an easy life. It's better than living in this county palace now, and I think I'm going to live with someone like that who is so annoying. ”

As Hu Shi spoke, his eyes couldn't help but moisten.

Her sister's encounter, her sister withdrew from the draft in time, and married away from the imperial capital, but lived a comfortable and comfortable life.

But he was stubborn in his heart and insisted on marrying into the royal family, and now his life is like this, leaving a seemingly golden princess on his body.

"Princess Jun, you still have a young master and a young lady." Xiangdong stepped forward to refill the tea in the cup for Hu Shi, and tactfully comforted him. "With the young master and young lady here, there is still hope for the good days of the princess of the county after all."

"Yes, Xiangdong, you're absolutely right." Hu Shi listened to Xiangdong's words and said with a smile. "I can't count on my husband, but I still have my own children. Even for the sake of my children, I have to keep going. ”

After receiving the posts sent by Hu and Concubine Liao, the ladies of the Liguo Mansion and the Earl of Yongchang respectively chose to come to the Jinjun Palaces on the same day.

Hu simply invited Concubine Liao and the Lady of the Countes' Mansion of Yongchang to come to their courtyard, plus the Duchess of Liguo and the two daughters-in-law who came together with her mother-in-law, as well as the children at home, Hu's courtyard was also rarely lively.

was ordered by Xiao Jin to secretly monitor the guards in the Hu family's courtyard, and reported the matter to Xiao Jin.

"Look, these two people are calling someone to support them." After listening to the guard's report, Xiao Jin said with a sneer.

In addition to their own appearance and conduct in the circle of ladies in the imperial capital at that time, the two of them had excellent family backgrounds.

But now that both of them have fallen out of favor in front of Xiao Jin, the two of them have used their mother's family to fight with them instead.

It's just that Xiao Jin really has no way to deal with them now, the Liguo Mansion and the current Yongchang Earl's Mansion are quite valued by His Majesty, and he can't easily move them.
