The next morning, Xia Mengning was inviting An out of Yong'an Hall, thinking of going to Mei Fangyuan to take a look, but as soon as he walked out of the gate of Yong'an Hall, he saw that there was a person at the door looking back and forth anxiously.

The man was wearing the clothes of a family member in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xia Mengning felt familiar, so Jiu'er came over and said, "Miss, this person is a person under Steward Li, and he was the one who sent the letter last time." ”

Xia Mengning nodded, and at this time, the person who was waiting also saw Xia Mengning's master and servant, and hurriedly walked over and saluted: "The little one has seen the third lady!" ”

Xia Mengning nodded and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The man looked left and right, and said, "Back to the third young lady's words, the servant came to tell the third young lady according to the words of Steward Li, this morning, Mother Wang, who was beside the seventh aunt, went to the steward's room, and asked for an advance of five hundred taels of silver to make up for the seventh aunt." ”

Five hundred taels?! Xia Mengning was shocked, and immediately thought that the Ning clan must be planning something again, so she stabilized her mind and said, "Okay, I know, you go back and tell Steward Li and let him come according to the usual rules." ”

The servant listened, nodded and retreated.

"Miss, why did Aunt Seven advance so much silver, is it related to these recent things?"

On the way back, Jiu'er asked with a puzzled expression.

Xia Mengning nodded, "Although I don't know yet, the Ning clan is in such a hurry to ask for money now, let's drag her out, and when she can't wait, she will naturally show her feet." ”

Both of them looked preoccupied and returned to the Bamboo Branch Garden.

The servant went back to the steward's room and went directly to the back room to see Li Yan, and when the other party saw him, he hurriedly asked, "What did the third lady say?" ”

The person who came walked up to him and said softly, "Third Miss said that you should come according to the usual rules." ”

Li Yan had a number in his heart, according to the usual rules, that is, he could not advance so much silver, Li Yan thought about it, and then got up and walked out.

Walking out of the back room and coming to the front hall, Wang's mother was waiting there nervously, seeing that Li Yan finally came out, Wang's mother hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Steward Li ......"

Li Yan shook his hand, "Mother Wang, five hundred taels is not a small amount, we have never advanced so much money in our house, unless the master personally nods, otherwise it will be difficult for me to do it." ”

Mother Wang's old face is a little unbearable, it is a matter of begging for people, how can she be so old, if she still begs for a dead face, I am afraid that it will become a joke for others.

Mother Wang thought about it, but turned around and walked out.

On the way back to the garden, Wang's mother finally figured out something wrong, obviously although Li Yan didn't agree when she first went, her words were all ambiguous, and she didn't say that there was no room for turning, how could it be that after a while, it became categorical, Wang's mother thought about it carefully, when she was waiting, the little slave next to Li Yan seemed to have gone out once, and when he came back, Li Yan quickly came out and told him that he couldn't.

Mother Wang walked back to the garden and told Ning the truth about the matter, Ning listened, thought for a while and asked, "Mom, did you say that someone was manipulating Li Yan behind his back and deliberately asked him not to lend us the silver?" ”

Mother Wang nodded, "The old slave thinks the same way, but there seems to be only one person in this mansion who can do this." ”

Ning Shi thought for a while, pinched the handkerchief and said: "Last time, the Fang clan got the two mothers-in-law to assassinate Xia Mengning, but Xia Mengning avoided it, and Li Yan came so coincidentally to testify, looking at her relationship with Xia Mengning, I'm afraid it will not be so simple." ”

Mother Wang nodded, "The old slave asked someone to investigate." ”

Ning nodded, and said with hatred in his heart, I can't kill Liu Hanyan, but you Xia Mengning, but it's close at hand, since you want to block my life, then don't blame me for being welcome!

Mother Wang knew that Xia Mengning had to go to Yong'an Hall every morning to ask for peace, so she easily bribed the little girl in Yong'an Hall, and learned that someone really came to see Xia Mengning in the morning, according to the description of the little girl, that person was the slave next to Li Yan.

Wang's mother told Ning about this, and Ning was furious, "It's a good Xia Mengning, I didn't mess with her, she sent it to the door by herself." ”

Mother Wang paused in her heart and said, "Auntie, the third lady is a dangerous person, don't act rashly!" ”

Ning gritted his teeth and smiled, "Hmph, it's just a yellow-haired girl, we can't move Liu Hanyan, can't we even handle this close Xia Mengning?" ”

Thinking about it, Ning said: "If you don't do it, since Xia Mengning is bent on death, then don't blame me for being ruthless!" ”

The kitchen of the Prime Minister's Mansion is prepared in advance for each garden, except that Xia Chuanyuan and Xie's dishes are better than these young ladies and aunts, and if you want to eat well, you can also pay out of your own pocket to order the kitchen to do it, Xia Mengning asked Jiu'er to send silver in the morning and made some delicious food.

At lunchtime, Xia Mengning asked Zhulian to call Ge's to have dinner together, Ge's drank the fetal medicine that Xia Mengning decocted, and Xia Mengning gave her needles every day, so Ge's body got better day by day, and after more than three months of pregnancy, his body sank a lot, and he wore wide clothes early.

"Why waste money on this?" Ge Shi was helped by Xia Mengning to sit at the dining table, looked at the delicacies on the table, and said to Xia Mengning with a little disgust.

When Xia Mengning heard this, she smiled and walked to the other side and sat down, "Auntie is pregnant now, so she should eat more good things to make up for her body." ”

While eating, Xia Mengning said casually: "Auntie, after Ning's pregnancy, did you have anything to do with you?" ”

Ge Shi took a sip of soup and said with some confusion: "Why do you ask that?" ”

Xia Mengning shook her head, "It's okay, I just feel that the Ning family is not like a person who can settle down, and I am afraid that she will be jealous of her aunt, so she will secretly poison her." ”

Ge Shi shook his head, "I've been in the garden for the past few days, and I haven't gone anywhere, so I just have a jade to talk to." ”

Xia Mengning listened, nodded, and instructed: "Auntie should be careful in everything, food and clothes must be carefully checked, especially those sent by outsiders." ”

After the two finished eating, Ge and Jade went back to Mei Fang Garden together, Jade carefully supported Ge all the way, just because there were a few stone roads in the garden, it would not be very comfortable to walk, so Jade paid attention and was more careful.

As they walked to the edge of the small pond, Ge Shi and Jade didn't notice that someone was walking in front of them, and the person was also walking too fast, so the two of them bumped into each other solidly.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Jade hurriedly stepped forward to take a beating for Ge's family, and waited until she stood firm, and then scolded loudly: "Who is so short-sighted, can you afford to knock down the fourth aunt?" ”

Ge Shi shook his hand, Jade hurriedly came over to help her, and the two of them were stunned when they saw the person who was hit on the ground.

The man got up from the ground and looked up to see that it was Yuyue, who had just left Mei Fangyuan a few days ago.

Yuyue was angry in her heart, the Ning family's repeated difficulties to her in the past few days had made her angry enough, she didn't expect to encounter bad luck when she went out, thinking of this, she tidied up her clothes and said: "The concubine has seen the fourth aunt, don't come unharmed." ”

Not even bent her knees, Yuyue only shouted symbolically and did not salute.

Seeing that she was wearing red and green, and she was dressed more glamorously than her aunt, she couldn't help but sarcastically say: "I said who is so short-sighted, it turns out to be Yuyue who has climbed high branches, why, when you become a girl in the room, you regard yourself as the master?" Don't open your dog eyes and take a good look, in front of your aunt, you're just a cheap girl! ”

Yuyue felt a surge of anger in her heart, but when she saw Ge's pale face, she laughed again: "I said Jade, let's be sisters, if you are jealous that I am stronger than you now, just say it, why are you sourly and squeezing out me, what are you thinking in your heart, do you think that others don't know?" ”

Jade couldn't help but be a little annoyed when Yuyue said this, "What did you say, what did I think in my heart, you said it clearly!" ”

Yuyue snorted coldly, ignoring Jade's shout.

"Alright, let's go back." Ge Shi whispered, taking Jade's hand sideways and preparing to walk forward.

Yuyue saw it, and hurriedly turned sideways, blocking Ge's way.

"What are you doing?" Jade raised her face and said.

Yu Yueman smiled nonchalantly, "Don't do anything, walk, you have to trouble the fourth aunt to let go." ”

Ge Shi raised his head and glanced at Yuyue deeply, Yuyue also looked at each other contemptuously, the two looked at each other for a while, Ge Shi avoided his body and said, "You go first." ”

"Auntie!" Jade stomped her feet, "She's just a girl in the room, why should we let her, what you are carrying in your belly is the flesh and blood of the master." ”

"Hahaha!" Yuyue laughed, with an unstoppable expression on her face when she walked past Ge's side, and then turned around and said: "Now the lord loves me the most, what if I am pregnant, it is still unknown whether I will give birth or not?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Jade couldn't help but get angry, rolled up her sleeves and was about to fight with Yuyue, "What are you talking about, you cheap hooves who don't know life and death, you dare to curse your aunt, see if I don't tear your mouth today!" ”

Ge Shi stretched out his hand to stop Jade, turned his head to look at Yuyue and said, "What you just said, say it again!" ”

Yuyue was a little hairy by Ge's gaze, but she remembered Ge's temper when she used to serve Ge's, and thought of the old man resting in his room every day in the past few days, and he was still afraid of her being an unfavored aunt?

"How? Didn't my aunt hear clearly? Yuyue said with a smile, gritted her teeth and said slowly: "I mean the child in my aunt's belly, whether it is born or not, it is not the same......

"Smack!" Before she finished speaking, Yuyue received a hard slap in the face.

Yuyue covered her face in disbelief and turned her head, "You dare to hit me?" I...... I'm going to tell the master. ”

Ge Shi withdrew his hand, looked at the person in front of him and said lightly: "You go and tell the master, see if you dare to insult your aunt in a mere room, and dare to curse the master's children with wild words, should these two crimes be beaten?" ”

Yuyue was stunned, although Ge's face in front of her was calm, there was a feeling of storm, Yuyue was dumbfounded for a while, and she didn't know what to say.

"Let's go." Ge Shi turned his head and said to the jade beside him, and the jade glared fiercely at the jade moon on the ground, and then walked back with Ge's hand.

Yuyue looked at the backs of the two, and a fire slowly rose in her heart.

"Oh, who did I say, it turned out to be the Yuyue girl who has been favored recently, how did she be beaten, tsk, if you hurt this little face like a flower, the master should be distressed."

At this moment, a familiar voice came, Yuyue raised her head, and saw Dai Yue standing not far away, looking at her with a mocking.

'Humph! Yuyue looked at Dai Yue's smiling face, didn't speak, turned around and prepared to go back.

Seeing this, Dai Yue hurriedly walked over to stop Yuyue's body, and said with a smile: "I said Yuyue, why do you want to leave when you see me, am I so scary?" ”

Yuyue raised her head, looked at Dai Yue and said, "It's not that you're scary, it's that I disdain to stay with a lowly girl like you, and I lost my identity in vain." ”

Dai Yue glanced at Yuyue hatefully, but then laughed again: "Look, your little mouth is unforgiving, no wonder the master likes it." ”

Yuyue didn't speak, Dai Yue laughed a few times and continued: "But so what, even if the master likes it, you Yuyue is just a girl in the room, after all, in front of the fourth aunt, you have to grovel." ”

Yuyue gritted her teeth, "What, are you envious, although I haven't been carried to be an aunt, I'm also a master's person, unlike some people, who can't even make a room after all their efforts, and can't eat grapes all day long and say that grapes are sour, in fact, I envy everyone more than anyone else in my heart, I'm right, Dai Yue?" ”

As he spoke, he turned around and walked back, no longer listening to Dai Yue's words.

Dai Yue couldn't see others reveal her scars, that time she was splashed with chicken soup by Xia Chuanyuan, and she didn't dare to go out to meet people for several days, but Yuyue always talked about it.

Thinking of this, Dai Yue couldn't help but get angry, her posture was no worse than Yuyue, but the old man took a fancy to her and didn't choose herself, Dai Yue was unconvinced, looking at the figure of Yuyue in front of her, I don't know why, a burst of blood surged, quickly took a stone from the grass on the side, walked up in three steps and two steps, and hit Yuyue on the back of the head.
