Lord Gong's words made Lord Du stand up in shock. He twitched his lips and asked eagerly, "You mean!" Lord Gong nodded affirmatively again: "It's someone, I can't tolerate him!" ”

Master Du sat back in his chair and muttered, "One mountain can't accommodate two tigers, and two tigers can't be placed in one mountain." It seems that the emperor has long understood. Master Gong didn't understand the latter words, he just listened quietly. Lord Du was depressed, sat up with his back straight, and looked at Master Gong with no love in his eyes: "In your opinion, who can win?" ”

"One has a middle palace and a prince, and there are also many people; The other is always cunning and a treacherous man. "Lord Gong doesn't have a good opinion of Prime Minister Zhang and Young Master Chu. In fact, in officialdom, it is impossible for someone to have a reputation as a "good person" behind his back.

Master Gong cautiously told his father-in-law, Master Du: "Father-in-law's house is quiet, endure everything, and it is best to watch for a while." Master Du was a little disappointed, and then knew in his heart: "In your heart, you are towards the Chu family." Master Gong felt that this was wrong, whoever could tolerate people, whoever could be powerful would go to whom. He lowered his head and thought about it, and said boldly: "If there is no big change, of course, the original will not change." ”

"Silence!" Master Du jumped up like a rabbit in an arrow, and jumped to Lord Gong's side with the flexibility that he rarely had for dozens of years. When Lord Gong was startled, Lord Du covered his mouth with both hands, looked out in horror, and whispered, "Don't talk nonsense." ”

The big change that Master Gong said didn't actually guess randomly. Lord Du was so timid, but it made Lord Gong's heart chill, and he had a mind that he didn't dare to guess, he had never guessed.

This thought made Lord Gong feel cold at that time, and when he walked to Du Mansion, he was still cold. rushed back, just because his father-in-law was also in the officialdom, and his son-in-law got along, always arm-in-arms. Lord Gong didn't go back for his wife, and when he thought of his wife Du Yingzhu, he was even more chilled. He refused to live in Du's house, claiming that his wife was not at home and that he should go home to take care of him.

With a double chill, Lord Gong came to the street. The spring day was bright, and the bustle on the street gradually warmed his heart. His heart moved, and he beat his horse and passed in front of King Liang's mansion. Seeing the cars and horses in front of the door, he is such a petty official, of course, King Liang is gone. Master Gong stepped forward to the door and asked, "Say hello to the prince, say that the prince is sick, but is he better?" ”

The man at the door smiled: "The prince is much better, he was able to walk around the ground yesterday, and he forced himself to pull a bow on the martial arts field, and said that the momentum was still there, and then went back to the room." ”

Master Gong is relieved, he is really relieved. The big thing will be held by King Liang in the future. Just as Young Master Chu saw that the emperor had the intention of supporting the orphan, in order to avoid suspicion, of course, he didn't wait for the emperor to say it. In everything, there is also King Liang, the royal relative.

In the afternoon, Basho slept soundly outside the Xuan Pavilion, and Mrs. Chu did not take a nap in the room. From time to time, people outside the room talked back and forth, and when I raised my eyes to look outside, I didn't know it was afternoon.

There was another sound of footsteps outside the room, and the girl came in with a stooping woman, and ordered her outside the room: "Stay, I'll go in and talk." The woman laughed with her: "Sister Biluo, please." Biluo opened the curtain and came in, interrupting Mrs. Chu, who was contemplating the thick shade outside the room, and said softly: "Yang Er's family is here." ”

Because of the playful green shade, Mrs. Chu smiled: "Let her in." When the Yang Er family came in, they were nervous. Seeing the smile on Mrs. Chu's lips, she let go of half of her heart and said humbly to Mrs. Chu: "Madam called me, what are your orders?" Mrs. Chu sat up straight, giving people invisible pressure, which she used to do. Yang Er pondered Mrs. Chu's thoughts, and because of the pressure, he was extremely uneasy.

"You are the companion of the second brother and sister, and the second housekeeper Yang Er is married." Mrs. Chu came up with a sentence, which made the Yang Erjia confused, so she had to respond: "Yes." ”

Mrs. Chu's face was solemn, and her smile was no longer visible just now. glanced at Yang Er's family and said, "So I deal with you, and the second brother and sister can't stop it." Mo Ming of the Yang Er family was so frightened that he knelt down and said, "The slave and maid should die, the slave and maid are guilty." Mrs. Chu raised her hand to stop her: "Where are you guilty?" Yang Erjia was stunned: "I ......"

Is it the second lady who is guilty of following the housekeeper and helping her to stain the silver? Or does the second lady have a private room outside and hide her guilt? Yang Er's family is not stupid, Mrs. Chu doesn't say it, of course she can't recognize everything.

"I have something to ask you, and I will reward you as you tell the truth, and if you tell a lie, I will kill you with a rod today." A gentle sentence came out of Fu Chu's mouth, and the Yang Erjia's soul flew again. Second Mrs. Chu went to Du's house as a guest, and she was unsaved for a while. The only way for the Yang Er family to kowtow and beg for mercy was: "Madam, please ask, the slave doesn't dare to hide it." "How many things flashed in the heart of the Yang Er family at once, Mrs. Chu is not at home all the year round, and there are more than three or five things for her to know, she will not be able to let go.

Mrs. Chu's voice became stern: "Your second lady, who are the families that you often come and go?" Yang Erjia's head "buzzed", knowing that the source that Mrs. Chu wanted to investigate today was Mrs. Chu Er. The cold sweat of the Yang Erjia flowed out all of a sudden, and he stammered: "I often go to the Du family, as well as a few small officials' houses, the Zhao family, the Wang family, the Lin family, and the cousin's wife who wiped the cards, and also went back to the old lady after taking care of the housework." ”

"In the past month, have you seen her go out and get anything back?" Mrs. Chu continued to ask flatly. Yang Er's family didn't know the essentials, and peeked at Mrs. Chu. Mrs. Chu said: "Medicine or something, have you seen it?" "The three times the Yang Erjia's soul flew out of the sky, not as good as the previous two. Although the cause of Yuzhao's death is secret, the Yang Er family still knows something. She kowtowed desperately to the ground: "Madame's anger, the second lady of my family will never dare to drug the young lady." ”

The concubines usually look like they are on a blind date, but when it comes to the critical moment, this position is still separated. Yang Er's family was chilling, and Mrs. Chu said, "I didn't say that she was drugged, but I just asked her if she took it back?" Yang Erjia begged bitterly: "I haven't seen it, and besides, I beg Mrs. to be wise and give our wife a few more courages, she doesn't dare to do this!" ”

Mrs. Chu's expression was cold: "What she dares to do, I know it in my heart, and you know it too, don't you?" When the last three words were asked, Yang Erjia's body was paralyzed, as if he was overwhelmed by something, and he still looked bitter and begging: "It's all the slaves and maids who are not good, and the slaves and maids are not persuaded." When the old lady was not at home, she was too mean to the eldest son's use, and then on some silver coins, the second lady made a mistake. To say that she still has great respect for you, Madame. ”

Mrs. Chu sneered, today seemed to be the day when she was going to settle accounts with Second Mrs. Chu, and sneered at the Yang Erjia: "In terms of money, I can open one eye and close one eye, but on my grandson, I can't go down at all!" Listen to you is a person who understands, when the lord and I are not at home, you also help the second brother and sister to take care of the housework, this person who closes the door and opens the door to go to night everywhere, who loves to eat and drink, who loves to gamble, what person is greedy for small money and lets people come in in the middle of the night, you should be clear, right? ”

This problem was too serious, and Yang Erjia couldn't stand upright, and he was pressed again. At this time, it is not the time to take the opportunity to be bad with anyone and hack others, but Mrs. Chu's words, or to Mrs. Chu.

"Everyone who goes to night doesn't always do things the same way. Ten fingers, not ordinary. But since the old lady came back, anyone who dares to slack off should be a fool. Yang Erjia replied, and Mrs. Chu smiled: "You are smart and tight." Let me ask you one more thing, who is the official sold by your second wife? ”

Yang Erjia's heart was bitter, and this matter was also pulled out. There are many officials who are promoted and demoted in Beijing every year, and the second lady of Chu is very clever, pretending to gossip with her sister-in-law, and accidentally asks: "There is such an official, they all say that the official reputation is good, it doesn't seem to be fake." Mrs. Chu sometimes replied: "It's true." Second Mrs. Chu will be happy and say: "Then it is a blessing for the people to go down to become an official, but I heard that there are two other people who also have good official reputations, is it the same?" ”

There won't be too many things like this, because Young Master Chu and Mrs. Chu weren't in Beijing all year round before. came back and asked two times, all of them were asked in a laughing tone by the woman in the house later, otherwise the second lady of Chu would be smart again, and she carefully asked the sister-in-law: "There is such an official, and the second master is close, and the third master seems to know each other, but can he get along?" ”

Everyone is smart, and all kinds of cleverness are used by Second Mrs. Chu in this. Mrs. Chu came to interrogate today, and Yang Erjia's head was not a "buzz", but a buzzing sound like thousands of bees.

"It's with Mrs. Du, sometimes it's awkward with Mrs. Du, and I find the official wife in the Ministry of Works." Yang Erjia replied dejectedly. Mrs. Chu was strange: "Mrs. Guan? Yang Er's family knows better than Mrs. Chu: "He is a small official in the Ministry of Industry, because the official is small, and he knows many poor Beijing officials who are anxious to be promoted and find a way." The second lady went to incense for five or six years, and the sister-in-law in the temple got to know each other, and they have been coming and going. ”

Mrs. Chu smiled again: "There are these entanglements. "It's like listening to a book.

The room asked again and again, and Mrs. Chu finally said sharply: "There is a word leaking out!" I drowned you in front of your second lady! The sweat and tears of Yang Erjia kept flowing: "Yes, yes, I don't dare to say it." Until outside the room, Yang Er's family found a quiet place with their backs, wiped off their sweat and tears, and leaned on the wall with their hands, their legs and feet were soft everywhere.

In this place, I only see people walking back and forth, and people can't see themselves. It took a long time for Yang Erjia to speak: "My mother, this one is powerful, and he has never been scary!" "Fortunately, it's rare to send it once.

Holding on to the trunk of the tree and walking a few steps, I met a little hairy girl, who has always been used to pleasing Yang Erjia, and said with a smile: "Aunt Yang, you are not old, you are on the pillar." Yang Erjia scolded her: "Get out, you old man, don't dare to make fun of me like this." "I scolded myself and was laughed at, and I laughed at this soul before I came back halfway.

After the soul came back, Yang Erjia suddenly remembered that he had been staying in a quiet place just now, and saw that the girl was leading a person to Mrs. Chu's room, as if it was Mrs. Chu's companion room. Yang Er's family is much better, and Mrs. is guessing by herself, so everyone has to suspect it.

At the same time, Young Master Chu took a moment to call Second Master Chu to come, this time with a black face and a black face, and he was not polite to Second Master Chu: "Huaide's matter, what are you going to do?" Second Master Chu also knelt down: "Teach a good lesson, teach a good lesson." Young Master Chu scolded him in his heart and was not angry, so he couldn't teach his son well. At that moment, I asked Second Master Chu again: "The one in Huaixian's room, although I don't like it, but someone gave her abortion medicine, I will never let it go!" ”

Second Master Chu's heart was extraordinarily empty, although he didn't dare to do this, he was always worried about being suspected. Seeing that Young Master Chu was speaking heavily, Second Master Chu also broke out in a cold sweat: "Big brother, think about me, do you have such courage?" ”

"You don't, what about the others?" Young Master Chu asked, and Second Master Chu hurriedly said, "The people in my room, none of them dare. If there is such a person, don't worry, big brother, I will strangle you to show it with my own hands. ”

Young Master Chu was gloomy, and the second lady sold the official account privately, but he didn't say anything. The gloomy Young Master Chu looked at an official document under his hand, which was reported below about the private construction of a sea ship by the Fujian General Army, Young Master Chu glanced at this official document, and then asked the second master of Chu: "What about the aunt in your room, what is her mind?" ”

That was Chu Huaide's mother, the biological mother of one of the two sons of the Chu family.
