When the chief steward of the Jiang Mansion arrived at the Hou Mansion, Qin Yunshu had just sent Du Siyan away, and Da Shanbo and the third aunt also left in front of the half-burnt incense.

Mrs. Xiao and Sun Huani are busy working until now, and after cleaning up, they go back to the house to rest.

Xiao Lingtian left after dinner, and talked about a big business, the merchant lived thousands of miles and did not go back for the festival, so he needed to negotiate this deal during the spring year.

At this time, Qin Yunshu was sitting in the hall of the main courtyard, with a cup of tea next to him, and sandalwood rose from the stove.

"The chief steward of the Jiang Mansion is looking for me, and his eyes are anxious?"

The voice was faint, and his fingers knocked on the chair carelessly.

"Yes, the slave saw that he was very anxious and asked him what was the matter, but he didn't say, he must see you."

It seems that it is really urgent. Since they are looking for her, it means that the Jiang family can't solve it by themselves.

Uncle's way of life, she knows that if there is trouble, she will solve it by herself first. If it really doesn't work, I will find my father, and it is impossible to find her junior.

Therefore, it should be that the uncle is not in the house, and the grandmother has no time to take care of it, so there is no way, so the steward is looking for her.

"Mrs. Hou, did the slave bring him in?"

After all, it was Jiang's Mansion, and Mrs. Qin's family, who went first, didn't dare to be careless.

However, as soon as the words fell, I listened-

"No need, it's the Spring Year, there are so many people in the Jiang Mansion, I will go to the main business, it is unreasonable, you go and refuse the Jiang Mansion to take charge."

After saying that, Qin Yunshu brushed his hands.

Directly refused, at first the steward was a little confused, but he understood in an instant.

"The minions obey."

In a short time, the steward was commanded to leave.

At this moment, a man in a black guard uniform walked up. The face is cold, the steps are calm, the moment he enters the hall door, he bows and salutes, and is extremely respectful,

"Mrs. Hou."

This is an expert who Xiao Jinyan transferred from the soldiers, sent to Qin Yunshu's side, and secretly followed.

There are not many words, the face is as good as ever, and there is not much expression.

"Prince Zhou laid out a game, except for Jiang Xuexue's manpower, and imprisoned her in the house, and had a dislike with the monarch. Lord Jiang begged Prince Zhou to spare her life and take her back to Jiang's mansion. Unexpectedly, not long after coming back, Jiang slipped away from Xue. The subordinates found out that she had met Zhou Guojun. ”

The ins and outs were clear, Qin Yunshu thought about it carefully, she knew that Jiang had suffered a loss to Xue, and it was not clear how it was.

So, just now the steward of the Jiang family asked to see her, for this matter?

"According to the investigation of his subordinates, Zhou Guojun was furious and ordered someone to slap Jiang Xue in public."

Qin Yunshu breathed slightly, isn't she a favorite concubine? Turning the other cheek so quickly?

"Mrs. Hou, it's right that you don't meddle in this matter. Jiang's snow limit is approaching, Prince Zhou makes the first move, and the separation is just the beginning. If the subordinates were not mistaken, Hou Ye would have already known. ”

Qin Yunshu's eyes condensed slightly, Zhou Wuce chose to deal with Jiang Xiangxue in Qi State, this matter was known to Jin Yan from the beginning.

And the uncle also vaguely guessed that in order to beg Zhou Wuce to spare his daughter's life.

However, it backfired, and Jiang was unwilling to be trapped in Jiang's mansion by Xue Xiangxue.

After sorting out the whole thing, gradually, Qin Yunshu's expression was light, and he said softly, "From the beginning, she was wrong. ”

Zhou Guojun is her only reliance, and all bets are on men.

And this man is the king of a country, and among all men, he is the most emotionally unreliable.

Qin Yunshu thought about it for a long time, and finally said, "That's it, I'll go to Jiang's mansion." ”

"Mrs. Hou, you shouldn't go."

The guards hurriedly spoke, but were stopped by Qin Yunshu.

"Mrs. Jiang is my grandmother, my mother's most valued relative."

With that, she walked out of the hall door in a few steps, and when she reached the courtyard gate, she commanded, "Go and prepare the horses." ”

Since he is her attendant, it is best for him to be the coachman.

Hearing this, the guards no longer dissuaded, and Mrs. Hou went, for the sake of Mrs. Jiang.

In front of the gate of the Hou Mansion, the two stewards stood quietly looking at each other, stalemate.

"Everyone is the master, you also know the rules of the slave, don't be embarrassed, Madame ordered not to see, it is useless for you to stand until dark. Now that the sky has changed, you go back early, maybe Master Jiang has already returned. ”

He was answered by a moment of silence, embarrassed to the end.

"Don't stand, I'll go with you."

Suddenly, a clear woman's voice came.

The steward was stunned, and hurriedly turned around to look, it was really Mrs. Hou, didn't she say she wouldn't go, how could she change her mind?

When the Jiang family steward saw Qin Yunshu, the anxiety in his eyes eased a lot, and he immediately bowed and saluted, "Mrs. Hou, I have to trouble you as a last resort." The old lady's health is getting worse and worse, and she can't be stimulated anymore. ”

It was fine before, but suddenly under the Japanese situation, it must be Jiang Xue who has entered the status of the favorite concubine of the Zhou Kingdom.

My spoiled granddaughter has become what she is now, how can she not be heartbroken?

"I understand."

Whispering three words, not long after, the carriage drove out of the house, and Qin Yunshu quickly got up.

This time, Zhou Wuce wanted to be ruthless, and Jin Yan also knew that it would save a lot of trouble by doing it in Qi State.

But because of the Qi country, if you want the life of the imperial concubine, it must be above board.

A move of discord made Zhou Guojun dissatisfied with Jiang and Xue, and ordered someone to slap him in public.

Since there is still a trick, it means that Jiang will not be obsessed with snow, and after a while, he may be able to close the heart of the monarch.

It's just that once there is a suspicion, even if it is stitched, there are traces.

Along the way, Qin Yunshu figured it out, and when he arrived at Jiang's Mansion, the wind that blew a small half of the incense finally stopped.

Black clouds overwhelmed the city, and rain poured down.

The maid held a wide oil-paper umbrella and escorted her all the way to the old lady's courtyard.

Before she could enter the hall, she heard Mama's anxious voice.

"Old lady, don't scare the minions, the eldest lady will come back."

"Don't be persuaded, I haven't seen her for so long, and she has already left Jiang's mansion."

The voice was deep, and I couldn't hear any thoughts, only a face, white and terrible.

When Qin Yunshu came in, he saw Old Madam Jiang leaning on the soft collapse, her hands propped up on the side of the table.

It's no longer what she saw before, at that time, the blood was very good, and the people were also in good spirits.

Right now......

"Grandma."

With a soft call, Qin Yunshu slowly stepped forward.

When Mama saw her, her eyes lit up, and her tone followed cheerfully, "Old lady, look, your granddaughter is here." ”

did not call Mrs. Dingbei Hou, and called her granddaughter, the intention is very obvious.

At this time, Qin Yunshu walked to the soft collapse and gave Mama a look.

After a while, Mama retreated, and the door of the hall was closed.

In the silent hall, there were only grandparents and grandchildren.

Old Madam Jiang cheered up a little, "Shu'er, you're here." ”

Seeing her granddaughter, her feelings were even more complicated, and her granddaughter, who was brought up by her, couldn't save her life when she arrived in this field.

And Shu'er, who has been snubbed by her since she was a child, has not taken a day with her.

ashamed, but also more reflective and accusatory of himself.

For most of her life, she has lived quite a failure.

"Grandma, when I was eight years old, my father took me to a farmhouse on the outskirts of Beijing, and when I reached the four forks, he told me to choose by myself."

Qin Yunshu picked up the teapot as he spoke, poured a cup of hot boiling, and put it in the hands of Old Madam Jiang.
