The eldest lady was almost blasted out of the palace by the queen, and on the way back to the house, she saw the official escorting away the people from the Taishi Mansion, which frightened her into a cold sweat.

When I got off the carriage at home, I saw that Dongyuan Jiang was dressed neatly, and the person who was sick and lost a lot of weight looked very good, as if he had something happy in his heart, all written on his face.

"Sister-in-law is back." Jiang Shi bowed and said, "I still think that if I meet you in the palace, I can go home with you, is it because you came back early today, or did I go out late?" ”

"To see the concubine?" The eldest lady stubbornly supported her decency, "You are sick for a few more days, you should take care of it for a few more days, describe it as haggard, and you are not afraid of losing your manners in front of the emperor?" ”

Jiang said with a smile: "It's a few points less, it's not that I'm sick, but it's the breath in my heart that is not smooth, it's rare that the concubine has something happy today, and she summoned me to have fun, but I feel much smoother." ”

The hand under the sleeve of the eldest lady was tightly clenched into a fist, and she sneered: "It's time to be smooth, I can't draw it if I'm really angry." ”

In each other's eyes, there seemed to be swords and swords.

In the eyes of the eldest lady, the schadenfreude younger siblings and concubines can't last long, a down-and-out maiden family, a concubine husband, once the concubine is unprofitable, she will be kicked far away early.

But in Jiang's opinion, the eldest lady stabbed the basket in front of the emperor this time, and it was not so easy to get out. In the eyes of the emperor, if it is a big thing, then the sesame grains can be bigger than the sky, if it is a small matter, even if it is a miscountry?

It's just a matter of buying and selling a few girls, and the emperor actually interrogated in person and arrested people with even greater fanfare. Overnight, the prosperous and wealthy Taishi Mansion ended up like this, who knows if Mrs. Chen would not be able to stand the board, and opened her mouth to confess the person in front of her.

"Sister-in-law, I'll go first, I don't dare to ask the concubine to wait for a long time." Jiang Shi owed no more, but when he walked past the eldest lady, he was so proud that he couldn't take it.

The eldest lady was so angry that she almost vomited blood, and when she entered the door, she almost tripped over the threshold, but her mother Wang supported her.

She grabbed Wang's mother's hand and trembled as much as her voice: "Where is Zhu Chengqian, go find him and come back...... Does he want to stay out of it? ”

Mother Wang was also panicked, but she knew that what the eldest lady was afraid of was not involving the Zhu family, but that she was afraid of damaging the prince's reputation, so that even if the matter passed, it would be difficult for the Zhu family and the Yang family to tolerate her anymore, and even the queen would dislike her, and it would be difficult in the future.

"Don't panic, the master must be planning. What's more, it's not just you who are implicated, which lady in this capital dares to say that her hands are clean, and if Mrs. Chen dares to open her mouth to talk nonsense, she is afraid that she will die even worse. Mother Wang stubbornly said, "Madam, let's go back to the room first." ”

I heard that the eldest lady was back, and the people who shouldn't show their faces outside hid one after another, and Aunt Liu and Aunt Chu knew even more in their hearts, even if they were picked up by the eldest lady and slipped to them later, they would avoid it at this time, not like usual, and greet them outside the door of Xinghua Hall early.

In the Qingqiu Pavilion, the summer heat of Fuyi had already healed, and he was quietly teaching the little sisters as usual, but the mother-in-law outside was gossiping, her voice was high and low, and there were people running around without stopping.

Yun Zhi couldn't bear it, and went out to reprimand, and then he was silent.

She slapped her back and said, "They got up early today and ate the wrong thing, and they don't see such unruly things on weekdays." ”

Huizhi said: "I'm afraid I'm talking about the eldest aunt." ”

Yunzhi doesn't like the eldest aunt, but she is also curious: "What happened to the eldest aunt?" ”

Thinking about Yunzhi living in the inner courtyard, the people around the old lady had tight mouths, and they didn't dare to mention things that shouldn't be said, she hadn't heard about it yet, but the fifth sister was different, how could the third lady hide it.

Seeing Huizhi said: "I heard my mother say that Mrs. Chen of the Taishi Mansion bought and sold maidservants without authorization, and almost killed people, and the family was detained by the emperor. ”

In the following words, you don't have to continue with Huizhi, Yunzhi can also figure it out.

Everyone in the family knows that Mrs. Chen of Taishi Mansion was a close friend of the eldest aunt before she got married, and more importantly, many maids in this family were also lost and died, and they were missing.

"Having said that...... Yun Zhi will not gloat like the second lady, but calmly analyzes, "Every family and every house, no matter who goes back to the court, some handmaids and small maids are all solved in private, no one has cared about the court for so many years, why did he suddenly think about it, but this really needs to be checked, the official eunuchs in the capital, is there still an innocence?" ”

Fu Yi said: "You can't take mistakes as right just because there are too many people who make mistakes, even if you get a moment of peace and tranquility, sooner or later you will have to pay the price, isn't Mrs. Chen the best example?" ”

Yun Zhi said: "I naturally don't mean this, I'm just curious, is someone deliberately unable to get along with the Taishi Mansion?" ”

Of course, Fuyi can't say it, this is what she asked the county lord to help do, first send someone to find out the movements of the Taishi Mansion, and the next time Mrs. Chen makes a move, she pretends to rob and rescue the woman who is about to be sold, and finally spreads the news everywhere, saying that the more miserable and pitiful it is.

Although every step of the support was calculated afterwards, I really didn't expect that the emperor would personally intervene, which means that the eldest lady has nowhere to do it if she wants to be thoughtful at the moment.

Fu Yi apologized for her misunderstanding the meaning of Yunzhi, and mentioned whether the Taishi Mansion was targeted, but only lightly perfunctory.

Some things were not said at first, but later it became more and more difficult to speak, she could only comfort herself, maybe for Yunzhi, she knew less, and she could be less sad.

When Fu Xiang proposed his own method to the county lord, he was also worried that the people in the palace would not be discovered, and Yao Nian confidently told her that if the emperor could find out, they would not be able to leave Kishu City at all.

If the mother and daughter really have a life-and-death enmity with the emperor, they are already hostile to each other, and they will always fight to the death in the end, and they are fearless.

"Sister Yan." Yingzhi suddenly called her.

"What?" Fu Yi came back to her senses, saw that it was Yingzhi, and guessed that she was worried about Aunt Liu.

Sure enough, Ying Zhi wanted to speak and stopped, thought about it, and finally pointed to the book indiscriminately: "Sister Yan, I don't understand this sentence." ”

Fuyi asked her to come forward, and Minzhi over there was listening to Huizhi's words about the third lady, and even Yunzhi could listen to it vigorously, so Fuyi took the opportunity to respond: "It's okay, don't worry." ”

Yingzhi had a smile on his face, but he didn't say anything, and went back with the book in his hand.

Before noon, before the class of Qingqiu Pavilion was dissolved, the old lady sent someone to pass lunch, and the girls went out together, and they met Zhu Chengqian returning home in broad daylight, and the "father" and "uncle" shouted, and the girls all let go on the side of the road.

I heard that it was the old mother who passed on the children to eat together, Zhu Chengqian gently said to Fuyi, Yunzhi, and Huizhi: "The old lady has a bad appetite in the summer, you coax your grandmother to eat two more bites, and then if you want any good things, just tell the eldest uncle." ”

But as soon as he turned around, he immediately became serious with his two daughters, and admonished: "Don't be naughty, don't only care about eating and drinking for yourself, and ignore your elders and sisters." ”

The third girl and the fourth girl were respectful, and when they saw that their father was not half delicate, they thought that even if their father was a rigid reader, he would love her a little more, and he didn't teach in private when he was a child, so he could allow her to be coquettish.

After Zhu Chengqian said these words, he strode towards Xinghua Hall, this house, the deeper it is, the quieter it becomes, and in the end, even the guards in front of the door are only Mother Wang.

Zhu Chengqian sneered: "What, the emperor hasn't pursued the matter yet, and you yourself have been imprisoned first?" ”

Mother Wang was embarrassed, lowered her head and said, "Master, madam, madam, frightened......"

"It's good to know that you're afraid." Zhu Chengqian said angrily, "You are your wife's dowry, and the Yang Mansion and the queen are counting on you to support your wife more, but as a result, which of the big and small things have you taken care of?" If it weren't for the reluctance of Mrs. to see you, you wouldn't have to wait for me to come forward, the queen and the Yang family would not allow you first. ”

The door was slammed open, and the eldest lady said angrily: "You don't refer to Sang and scold Huai here, she is a slave and she knows something, you come at me." ”

Zhu Chengqian shook his head: "I hope you can be so horizontal when you arrive in front of the palace." ”

The eldest lady had tears in her eyes: "Have you waited for this day for thirty years, and you are looking forward to me falling into trouble, so that you can kick me away and marry another good one?" ”

Zhu Chengqian's eyes were angry, and he walked towards the door with his hands behind his back, and Mother Wang closed the door with a very good look, only vaguely hearing the old man seem to say: "What are you thinking in your heart right now, are you afraid of affecting the prince or me, or are you not afraid of anything at all with us?" ”

The room was quiet, Wang's mother listened hard with her ears close to her ears, and suddenly she didn't know what was going on, so she was frightened and thought she was chasing her, and she didn't dare to listen to the foot of the wall, so she quickly hid under the corridor on the side.

In the house, Zhu Chengqian poured his own tea and drank it, and said slowly and methodically: "I'm afraid that you will escape this time, and from then on you will be more unscrupulous, and the next time you roll out of the box, it will be our maid, don't you say?" ”

The eldest lady was extremely aggrieved, and choked up: "What do you want, do you want to help?" ”
