Jinqi saw that Yunshang was stunned, and her eyes were full of pampering, "Use some quickly." ”

"Hmm" Yunshang smiled and picked up the spoon, gently scooped the meat in the bowl, and asked softly, "Is it noon?" ”

"Well, the news came from the Scarlet." Jinqi said lightly.

When he received Tianji's report, he had just returned to Chonghua Palace from the imperial study, Chu Mengyao committed murder, and the news of Xiangling's death did not fluctuate in any way for him, but when he heard that Yunshang was present, he was shocked. I didn't even have time to change my clothes, so I hurried to Xiyun Garden.

But seeing Yunshang's unstable sleeping face, he couldn't bear to leave.

Yun Sheng took a piece of eggplant box and put it in Jinqi's bowl and said, "The eggplant box in the small kitchen has always done well, I remember that you don't seem to hate eggplants." ”

The corners of Jinqi's mouth lifted, and she looked at Yunsheng, who was a little apprehensive, and said, "Well, I think it's very good." ”

Yunshang breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and drank the mutton soup happily, Jinqi knew her preferences too well, and often prepared everything for herself, although Jinqi didn't say it, but this dress was obviously not a regular dress, I was afraid that she would come in a hurry after receiving the report. His heart was really in front of his eyes.

And I don't know much about his preferences. He doesn't know what dishes he likes, what colors he likes, what styles of clothes he likes, and what kind of tea he likes.

There was nothing to say, and time seemed to be a lot softer, and the pale yellow candlelight shone on the faces of the two, gilding a layer of light.

Yunshang didn't use it for lunch, and the mutton soup seemed to be very appetizing, but she had half a bowl of rice. And Jinqi, seeing Yunshang like this, was a lot more relieved.

"Xiaoyin, you say, how will the Qingguo Mansion deal with this matter?" Yunshang asked with a slight frown.

"What do you think?" Jinqi casually picked up a book of poems and raised her eyebrows and asked.

"Well......" Yunshang thought for a while: "Xiangling signed a death deed, and there seems to be no one in the family, so she may give a few taels of silver to cover up this matter." As for Chu Mengyao, it depends on Mrs. Zhen's attitude. ”

"Well, what does the old lady think of her?" Jinqi put down the poem and asked softly: "As far as I know, Chu Mengyao was sent to the family temple by Mrs. Zhen for the sake of her identity, and she had to return home because of you, so she should not be favored." ”

"Well, that's true, but I always feel that Mrs. Zhen has other ideas." Yunshang said softly.

"Oh? Why? Jinqi asked suspiciously.

"If it is said that Old Madam Zhen has already disliked Chu Mengyao and let Chu Mengyao return to the house only for the sake of my face, then Chu Mengyao's Meditation Garden should be prepared for snubbing and suppression. And Chu Mengyao can still think of pretending to be sick to arouse my sympathy, and the maids and women in the courtyard have not seen frivolity. Is it too much to say that Aunt Su is in charge of the hospital? Yunshang asked thoughtfully.

"Makes sense, go ahead." Jinqi smiled and looked at Yun Shang, her shining eyes making the corners of Yun Shang's mouth rise unconsciously.

"I observed that although there were some fallen leaves on the ground in the courtyard of Jingxin Garden, the branches were properly built and not too decaying, and I always felt that Old Madam Zhen did it on purpose." Yun Sheng analyzed carefully: "Originally, I thought of such a thing, Chu Mengyao is no longer favored, I am afraid that the news of her death will come soon, but when I think of Old Madam Zhen's ambiguous attitude, I think ......"

"She won't die, and she won't be quietly sent to the family temple." Jinqi took Yunshang's words and said slowly,

"Well, it was rumored before that Mrs. Zhen wanted Chu Mengyao to be Li Chengyin's concubine, and this time Chu Mengyao came to look for me, thinking that she was looking for the position of his wife."

After all, when Li Chengyin becomes the prince, she may be the rightful princess. And a concubine, I'm afraid...... But Yunshang didn't know how to say such words. After all, this is a matter of the previous life, and in this life, he is a person who only has a few faces with Li Chengyin. Li Chengyin can't rely on himself in this life, so it is almost impossible to get the position of the son of the world. But would Chu Mengyao think so?

"Does Old Madam Zhen want to win over the Marquis of Ningguo's Mansion, or Li Chengyin?" Jinqi asked in a low voice.

Ning Guohou Mansion or Li Chengyin? Could it be that Li Chengyin has anything outstanding that is worthy of Mrs. Zhen's attention? Or did Mrs. Zhen predict that Li Chengyin might have the possibility of winning the position of the prince, no, no, if this is the case, Mrs. Zhen will not waste Chu Mengyao, but marry her as a concubine.

Then it is to curry favor with the Marquis of Ningguo, or to win over the Marquis of Ningguo.

"I think it's the former, but, well, I'm not sure for a while." Yunshang thought for a moment and replied.

"Don't worry, I'll check this out, but I think I'll hear the news of the marriage between the two mansions soon, as for Chu Mengyao's position," Jinqi smiled coldly, "Maybe killing Xiangling helped her." ”

"Why?" Yunshang asked puzzled.

If you put yourself in Chu Mengyao's position, whether you make a mistake or intentionally, and kill the maidservant, even if you are a maidservant who has signed a death contract, it will definitely not be better, how can you listen to Jinqi's meaning to seem the opposite?

Seeing Yunshang's confused look, Jinqi explained softly: "Shang'er didn't know the story of Old Lady Zhen when she was young. ”

"The story? What's the story? Yun Sheng asked curiously, "What is the connection between the old lady's own story and Chu Mengyao's affairs?" ”

"Old Madam Zhen was fierce when she was young, originally Old Madam Chu had a very favored concubine around her, and at that time, Old Madam Zhen had already had two sons with a stable status, but that concubine was born in a cold life. Old lady Chu really likes it, and she can't wait to give her the treatment of a concubine. Mrs. Zhen was very unhappy, it happened that the two were pregnant at the same time during that time, but Mrs. Zhen accidentally miscarried when she was two months pregnant, and the concubine was the most suspicious person, who was whipped to death by Mrs. Zhen herself, and the child in her womb was more than five months old. But this made Mrs. Zhen more firmly in the position of wife, and even her mother-in-law was afraid of this daughter-in-law. ”

The story of Mrs. Zhen is a bit old, and it can be seen from this incident that Mrs. Zhen's heart-to-heart methods can also be seen.

Yun Sheng was suffocated when she heard this, but she didn't expect Old Madam Zhen to be so ruthless. Don't......

"Old Madam Zhen felt that Chu Mengyao's behavior was quite similar to herself, and she was originally worried that Chu Mengyao had no means to scheming, and her talent was not so beautiful that she couldn't suppress Li Chengyin, even if she was bullied by her concubine as a wife, it was better to forget it." Yunshang asked in surprise.

"Well, and her actions like this can deter Li Chengyin fiercely, but she also needs the position of the wife more, otherwise she can't dispose of the concubine at will." Jinqi nodded.

Yun Sheng sighed unconsciously, originally thinking of not helping Chu Mengyao, but she didn't expect that Chu Mengyao's actions had contributed to her purpose. I really don't know whether to laugh or sigh.

"Master, the Celestial Scar Secret Report." Leng Xuan said in a low voice.

Jinqi snorted lightly, raised her hand slightly, only to hear the sound of "whoosh", Jinqi's right hand clenched slightly, turned her hand and turned her palm, only to see a small beeswax bead presented in the palm of her hand. Jinqi picked up the beads with her index finger and thumb, gently crushed it, took out a small strip from it, looked at it roughly in the candlelight, raised the corners of her mouth, and smiled at Yunsheng: "Guess what's going on in the Qingguo Mansion now?" ”

-Gyeongguk Mansion-

"Mother?" Su Ruoxue looked at Old Madam Zhen in surprise, her eyes widened.

Together with the maid in the courtyard, she also looked at Mrs. Zhen in puzzlement. Could it be that the old lady is confused, and they all say that marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous person, such a thing as the fourth lady can't accept it no matter what kind of person it happens. originally planned to give the fourth lady to Li Ergongzi as a concubine. How can it be reversed now......

Among those present, only Chu Mengyao was ecstatic, "Thank you grandmother for your grace, thank you grandmother!" ”

"Alright, get up." Old Madam Zhen said as usual, completely ignoring Su Ruoxue's surprised gaze. Raised his hand slightly to everyone: "You all go down, Ruoxue and Mengyao stay." ”

"Yes, old lady" "Yes, mother, grandmother. ”

After everyone retreated, the old lady looked at Chu Mengyao majestically and said, "Do you know that you are wrong!" ”

Chu Mengyao was unequivocal this time, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Mengyao knows her mistake. ”

"What's wrong?"

"I'm wrong to kill Xiangling by mistake." Chu Mengyao replied nervously.

"Hmph, Xiangling, a servant girl, dares to seduce your future husband, it's not a pity to die. You are wrong, you are wrong, kill people in front of Yunshang, fortunately, your mother has been appeased, otherwise, you don't want to marry Li Ergongzi, so you go directly to the family temple and die! Mrs. Zhen said threateningly.

"Thank you grandmother, thank you mother." Chu Mengyao hurriedly kowtowed and said, she won't go to that nunnery again if she dies, not to mention the hardship, which old nuns will be bullied, in that nunnery, she still has to watch Xiangling and Li Chengyin have fun. Listening to the embarrassing voice, she only felt that her heart was as if it had been dug out and placed in the cold winter, painful and cold.

"Alright, get up." Old Madam Zhen waved her hand and said, "Originally, my grandmother was worried that you would not be able to be qualified as a wife, after all, you are different from your eldest sister, she is beautiful, talented, and scheming. But what about you? That's it. Originally, my grandmother only thought about you and married your beloved, but today, my grandmother saw your ruthlessness. This is the means by which you can sit firmly in the position of a wife. However, the road is chosen for you, but how you go depends on yourself. Also, if Li Chengyin's child doesn't come to ask for a marriage himself......"

"Grandmother, don't worry, he'll be back!" Chu Mengyao said anxiously, for fear that Old Madam Zhen would change her mind.

"Well, that's fine. Okay, I'll deal with Xiangling's affairs personally, go back, you don't have to live in Jingxin Garden, look at the bad luck, and live directly in Haitang Garden. ”

"Yes, Yao'er will say goodbye first." Chu Mengyao retreated happily, the corners of her mouth raised, full of unconcealable laughter.

He killed Xiangling in a hurry, which was indeed relieved, but then he was full of panic. Chu Mengyao may not have scheming, but it doesn't mean that she is stupid. She knows that she is not favored in the Qingguo Mansion. If Mrs. Zhen wants to get rid of herself at this time, it is the best opportunity, and the key is that no one is willing to help.

But I unexpectedly got the old lady's blue eyes, and I really don't know how to say it.

Looking at Chu Mengyao, who was happily gone, Su Ruoxue's eyebrows wrinkled even tighter.

"Ruoxue, do you think I'm old and confused?" Old Madam Zhen asked with a chuckle.

Xue'er didn't dare, and her mother thought long-term. It's something I can't compare. Su Ruoxue said humbly.

"Okay, I know you're confused." Old Madam Zhen waved her hand and said, "What do you think of Meng Yao than Xi'er?" ”

"Brave and unscrupulous, talented and ordinary." Su Ruoxue frowned and said.

"Well, indeed, so, Xi'er is suitable for entering the palace, and Mengyao is only suitable for wooing Li Chengyin. Moreover, I believe that Li Chengyin also eats this set. The corners of Mrs. Zhen's mouth twitched: "Second Prince Li loves women, and he has the potential to be afraid of inside, who do you think he looks like?" ”
