023. Forcibly drawn into the dispute between the two houses

Mrs. Bongkook was so angry that everyone in the room immediately fell to their knees. Qingrong was pressed by her aura, and her knees weakened, so she naturally knelt down with everyone. She didn't understand what was going on, but when it came to the thief, it was very serious.

Qingrong secretly guessed that it was related to Mei Rui, could it be because of the gift-giving?

The room was silent for a while, and no one dared to speak. After a while, Mei Ruicai choked up and said: "There is no one in the courtyard who can be the master of the house, even if Song Shizi is forced to enter, he can't, the slave asked later." They only went to look around when they heard movement in the house, as if they had entered someone. Thinking again, it doesn't matter where the girl is. They are all used to the rumors, and they are afraid that there will be some people in the lady's room who should not enter, and some moths will come out. ”

Mrs. Fengguo said sternly: "You don't have to explain this to me, there are five people guarding inside and out, and there is not a single Song Zhao!" That's what you deserve! The matter has come out, and there is still no face to explain to me. It doesn't matter what Qingrong is? It doesn't matter if there's no one in this yard at all! What if the person who came in poisoned and buried a witch in the courtyard? Don't ask for the heads of the whole yard! ”

Qingrong heard the word "Song Zhao" and sighed in his heart. The maidservants in the room were scolded and did not dare to come out, and they all knelt motionlessly. Although she didn't know what was going on, it was related to Song Zhao, Qingrong naturally couldn't escape responsibility, she couldn't pretend that she didn't know anything, "Grandmother, what happened?" ”

Mrs. Fengguo's expression barely softened, she turned to sit down, glanced at Mei Rui, and said, "You talk to her." ”

Mei Rui's face was pale and her eyes were red. On weekdays, she looks old, and her mood is invisible, and she also shows panic and helplessness comparable to her age, "The maid wanted to return the silver to Mrs. Hou's maidservant, but she was detained by the princess's people on the spot. Princess Yongping couldn't help but say, and took the slave maid to the queen mother and queen, and presented the gift. ”

Mei Rui was afraid of frightening Qingrong, so she tried her best to tell the matter gently, "After the slave maid explained to the queen mother, Princess Yongyongping said that what the slave maid said was not true, it was not a big deal, but she was so troubled by Princess Yongping, and she was shocked again. The amount of silver and land deeds is so large that it is impossible for a four-grade official to get his hands on it. Let Princess Yongping make such a fuss in front of people, accepting bribes is still a trivial matter, and the most important thing is how the money came from. The six princes were young and vigorous, and shouted in the hall that it was Hou Lu who was not an official. However, Hou Lu is the protΓ©gΓ© of Concubine Li's father, and he called Master Li a teacher. ”

Qingrong naturally understood that Hou Lu and Concubine Li Guifei had some origins, which were intertwined. Even if the Li family has nothing to do with Hou Lu's huge wealth, it is inevitable that they will cause a commotion. And how would Princess Yongping know? How could she dig into the corners of her house? The answer is only - Song Zhao.

Song Zhao not only knew that Mrs. Hou had given such a big gift, but also knew that she was going to return this gift to Mrs. Hou, and when would she return it. It seems that in addition to sneaking into his room, he even sent someone to spy on him. As long as he guided him a little, he naturally led this matter out by taking advantage of Princess Yongping's malice towards him. The concubine's mother's family caused a commotion because of Hou Lu's relationship, which is naturally beneficial to the queen's faction. The queen and Song Zhao borrowed a knife to kill people, and directly took her and Mrs. Fengguo out of the water.

No matter how this matter is explained, it is rarely seen that it is because of the people in Mrs. Fengguo's courtyard that Hou Lu's unknown property and bribery are exposed.

Qingrong naturally understands the seriousness of the matter, in this carefully guarded courtyard, people can be clear about what happened in the house, and it is strange that Mrs. Fengguo is not angry.

Qingrong knelt up straight, and first admitted his mistake: "It's all because my granddaughter and Song Zhao are in a mess, and they were targeted by him to cause such a big problem." ”

Mrs. Fengguo glanced at Qingrong, "Do you think I can run away from you?" Naturally, this matter has nothing to do with you, so when Song Zhao enters the inner courtyard, you should immediately ask someone to detain him, and you shouldn't let him go without permission. How did you do with him in the past, how did he save you, and how did you want to use him to get out of the Shen family, but you are never allowed to associate with him again in the future, this kid is insidious and cunning, full of flowers! ”

Qingrong couldn't agree more, nodded again and again, and couldn't help but ask Mrs. Fengguo in a low voice: "What did the emperor do with Hou Lu later?" ”

Mrs. Fengguo said expressionlessly: "What can I do, his wife said that it was obtained through business." Their family's rouge shop is indeed one of the best in Yangzhou, although the imperial court does not allow officials to do business, but the shop belongs to Mrs. Hou's mother's family, which does not violate the king's law. The emperor reprimanded Princess Yongping for messing around with the six princes, and the matter was over. ”

Qingrong was dumbfounded, and said, "Just ...... It's that simple? In fact, she firmly believes in her heart that things are not so simple at all.

Mrs. Fengguo raised her eyebrows slightly, her eyes were very deep, "It's that simple?" This matter is over, you should be more careful during the southern tour. If you are really bored, you can do more things that the Queen Mother likes, and it doesn't hurt to study female workers and cooking carefully, otherwise you can read books and learn words. I don't have to go out and get into trouble every day. ”

"Yes," Qingrong responded honestly, not daring to say anything more.

Mrs. Fengguo made a straight face and said, "Mei Rui and the others stay, you go back with Mother Yuan and Fucui to rest." ”

Qingrong looked at Mei Rui with some apologies, it can be seen that Mrs. Fengguo's attitude is cold, and she doesn't dare to stay any longer. Qingrong and the listless Tong Fucui and the others returned to the house, and as soon as they entered the house and closed the door, Yuan's mother couldn't help but sigh: "Mrs. Fengguo's momentum is really amazing, so scared that I was about to lie on the ground." ”

Fu Cui said: "No, you see that she is not as serious as the angry appearance of the previous wife, but she doesn't speak, so staring," Fu Cui said, and couldn't help but learn from Mrs. Fengguo, but she couldn't learn it, "It's weird and scary!" ”

Qingrong had no intention of discussing with Mother Yuan and Fu Cui how tall Mrs. Fengguo's two-meter-eight aura was, she only knew one thing clearly, Mrs. Fengguo still didn't treat her as her own. Many words would not be said in front of her. Qingrong had a sense of urgency in his heart, and it was a little worthless to live the days ahead. After all, since she wore it, she has not survived alone in Daliang, she has lived thirteen years of rice worms with food to open her mouth and clothes to stretch her hands, even if she can order children's popularity and cooking, but if she is suddenly abandoned by Mrs. Fengguo, can she support herself with these?

Considering the long-term planning of his career, Qingrong can't sleep a little.

Qingrong will not be the only one who can't sleep this night.

In the courtyard of the concubine, Princess Yongping and the six princes knelt in front of Concubine Li in unison. The two children were already wilting, and they were all frowning.

"Yongping, what do you have to do with that Shen Qingrong! You know that your imperial grandmother is very powerful, don't you know that your father was taken care of by Mrs. Fengguo? No matter how you look down on Shen Qingrong, how dare you touch Mrs. Fengguo's moldy head? Li Guifei's expression was solemn, and her voice was extremely stern.

Princess Yongping was also very aggrieved, and said: "I don't like her as a lowly stinky girl, through Mrs. Fengguo, I got the blue eyes of my father and grandmother, and my father and grandmother like me the most." My father and grandmother have always been the best to me. But a of her status can also ride her father's dragon boat, why! I didn't want to touch Mrs. Fengguo's mold, I just wanted Mrs. Fengguo to think that she was annoying and rush her back to the Shen family! ”

"The imperial sister still hates that Yuan Junsu and Shen Qingrong are childhood sweethearts, Yuan Junsu not only always goes to see Shen Qingrong, but also sends her things. The imperial sister is jealous of Shen Qingrong. The six princes smiled and directly pointed out the key issues.

Princess Yongping's face changed greatly, and she immediately pushed Xiao Jun and said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about!" Eat one's heart out? Just by her? Also worthy! ”

Concubine Li Guifei's face turned blue, and she glared at Yongping and said: "I can warn you, your marriage is free, your father is in charge, you are the princess of the dynasty, and your mother will never allow you to do anything that violates the royal system!" You need to remember that our wealth and honor are all given to us by your father, if your father doesn't like your mother and doesn't like you, then we are nothing! ”

Princess Yongping was very unimpressed by Concubine Li's words, and said, "How could my father not like us!" The father and mother have been in love for more than 30 years, and no one in the palace can compare to them. Even if she is a queen, she can't be compared with her mother. ”

Li Guifei sighed slightly, shook her head, and said, "The mother concubine still has a few years of good life, and she will eventually become old and yellow," she said this, and couldn't help but remind the sixth prince: "I've been a classmate with your brothers for so long, and you are indeed the one who has not grown the most!" Who is Hou Lu, you don't know? Today, you are the happiest in the temple! ”

The sixth prince didn't take Hou Lu in his eyes at all, let alone feel that he was wrong, and said with his head held high: "Even if I knew, I would say it in front of my father!" That Hou Lu is near, and there is no father near us. Otherwise, why would the mother think her father would cover it up for us. If we cover it up first, it will be even more empty-hearted. ”

Li Guifei didn't expect her son to be more than she thought, she was too cautious. As soon as he heard that Hou Lu had an accident, he instinctively felt weak.

The sixth prince said with a heartfelt voice: "Mother concubine, don't worry, not only will my father not be angry with us for this matter, but he will also feel that the mother concubine has been wronged and compensate you." The concubine waited with confidence. The sixth prince looked confident about his guesses, but Concubine Li was a little skeptical.

It was not early, and the mother and son didn't say anything more, Concubine Li Guifei told Princess Yongping not to find Qingrong uncomfortable anymore, so she let the two go back to rest.

At the same time, in the queen's courtyard, a violent quarrel broke out.
