When the news of Aunt Luo's birth reached Pinghu Qiuyue, Shen Xiu was taking a nap just after eating.

The month is getting older, and the belly is revealed. The fetal phase is stable, the medicine is no longer needed, and even the doctor is not too diligent.

"Side Concubine, Side Concubine......"

Yin'er called softly, looking nervous.

If Aunt Luo gives birth normally, she doesn't need to wake up Shen Xiu.

It's premature and I don't know what's going on.

"Huh?" Shen Xiu opened his eyes in a daze, "What's wrong?" ”

Mr. Wang said anxiously: "Aunt Luo was born prematurely. ”

"Huh?" Shen Xiu was surprised, "How could it be born prematurely?" ”

"The old slave is also strange, so he hurried to report back to the side concubine." Mr. Wang said.

Shen Xiu asked, "The prince should know, right?" ”

Han Xiao has been very busy lately and is often absent from the house.

"Such a big thing...... Manager Wang couldn't help but say, "I should know." ”

Shen Xiu said: "Send a little eunuch to the front to take a look, if the prince is not there, he will go out of the house to find it immediately." ”

"Yes." The chief steward responded and hurried to instruct the little eunuch.

Shen Xiu said to Yin'er again: "When I went to find Lady Su, I said that I had something to invite her." ”

With Princess Cheng's means, Aunt Luo will definitely not survive. Then planting multiple hands and feet along the way, it can be said that it is a corpse for two purposes.

It's better to prevent a crime early than to come to the door in trouble, completely unprepared.

"Yes." Yin'er turned and went.

The two servants sent out, and Shen Xiu called the girl to pour tea.

I didn't wake up from a nap, and my head was still a little dizzy, but things had already happened.

Aunt Luo's birth, how many people in the palace are watching. Now that it's finally time to give birth, whether it's a man or a woman, Princess Cheng can't do it, and the same Han Xiao can't do it.

Whether it's a man or a woman, it's a gamble of luck.

After the manager Wang finished explaining, he quickly turned back to the main room, his face was full of nervousness, and said, "Concubine Fang, in case Aunt Luo's baby ......"

"You go down to the room to see if the girl and the mother-in-law are there." Shen Xiujing interrupted Mr. Wang's words.

Now the subordinates she summoned are borrowed from the Yongshou County Palace.

On the first day of entering the mansion, she asked the king to restrain her. Anyone who wants to leave Pinghu Qiuyue must have the approval of General Manager Wang.

Putting an end to all possibilities and preventing Princess Cheng from infiltrating can also avoid trouble.

Manager Wang was stunned for a moment before he said, "Yes." ”

At this time, you should be more worried about Aunt Luo giving birth to children, and when you go to the next room to check on people, you always feel that it is not the point.

Shen Xiu picked up the cup and drank tea silently.

Maybe Aunt Luo's birth is too important and she is restless.

"Side Concubine, Side Concubine......"

Manager Wang ran in in with a panicked face, "It's a big deal, the little girl vanilla suddenly hanged herself." ”

Just now he gathered people in the backyard, and Vanilla did not appear, so he sent someone to the room to look for it, only to push the door and find the corpse hanging from the beam.

The descendants of Yan Wangfu who died tragically were not one or two, but at this time, there must be a conspiracy to suddenly hang one.

"Find someone of similar stature at once, put on her clothes, and go out under her name." Shen Xiu said, "The corpses in the house will be disposed of immediately." ”

Manager Wang didn't react a little, and paused for a moment before saying, "Yes, yes, the old slave will go and order." ”

Find someone of a similar size to go out, the person is gone, and it is also not seen outside, and it has nothing to do with the house.

Dispose of the corpse, and there is no proof of death.

"Call all the people in the backyard and I'm going to give you a lecture." Shen Xiu turned his head and commanded Yin'er, his face solemn.

It's also that she was too careless, and she thought that the girl sent by the county king's mansion should be relieved.

Unexpectedly, things came right away.

If a girl dies, if she can't suppress other subordinates and shouts out, everything Manager Wang has done is in vain.

"Yes." Yin'er responded with a trembling voice, and hurried to the backyard to gather people.

Shen Xiu instructed her mother-in-law to move the Taishi chair under the porch, and she helped the little girl to sit down.

Xiao Xueyi told her that even if her body is fine, she should also take care of it and not worry too much.

But if you want to gain a foothold in Yanwang's Mansion and don't worry about it, it's really a dream.

"Side concubine, everyone is here." Yin'er walked quickly to Shen Xiu.

More than 20 girls followed Yin'er into the front yard, all of them with panicked faces.

Vanilla was the Yanwang Mansion that they entered together, and suddenly hanged herself, they were not only surprised, but also scared.

There is a lot of money in Yanwangfu, and Shen Xiu is a generous master, but no matter how good the money is, it doesn't matter if it matters.

"Meet the concubine." Everyone saluted in unison.

Shen Xiu's face was gloomy, his eyes looked around everyone, full of majesty, and said, "Vanilla is dead, I don't bother to ask whether you know or not." But since you are brought by me from the palace of the king, you are my people, and whether you live or die is in my hands. Although I am soft-hearted and can't bear to punish people, the palace has a torture chamber and seventy-two torture instruments, which is enough. ”

Everyone in the courtyard couldn't help but tremble, although they were the subordinates of the county king's mansion, they had also heard of the power of the Yanwang mansion's torture room.

Especially in the recent witch curse, there are countless people who died in it.

"Someone will come to you in a moment and ask you how the vanilla died, and how will you answer when the time comes." Shen Xiu asked sharply.

Everyone was already frightened, and they dared to speak.

At this time, I saw a little girl, trembling and stepped forward and said: "Sister Vanilla has gone home, what is life and death, the slave and maid don't know." ”

Shen Xiu couldn't help but look at the little girl, sixteen or seventeen years old, her appearance was very ordinary, and she looked rough and stupid.

But such a stupid-looking girl, at this moment, can speak.

"What's your name?" Shen Xiu asked.

The little girl said: "Slave Ming Xia." ”

"Very good and able to talk." Shen Xiu said, then turned her head and instructed Yin'er, "In the future, she will follow you and wait in the main room." ”

Linlang is gone, and only Yin'er is called. It's appropriate to add a summer now.

Ming Xia was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly knelt down to thank him, "Concubine Xie promoted." ”

Although Yin'er was also very surprised, she beckoned to Ming Xia and said, "Come here." ”

"Yes." Ming Xia got up and walked over to Yin'er.

Shen Xiu looked at everyone again and said, "You know how to answer." ”

The people who were originally at a loss could see it clearly at this time. hurriedly said: "Vanilla went home, not in the house." ”

Ming Xia replied, and immediately changed from a third-class rough girl to a first-class close-fitting big girl.

Demonstration on the spot, promotion on the spot, promotion if you say the right thing, and go to the torture room if you say the wrong thing, it's stupid

"Good." Shen Xiu's expression was still the same, and he looked at everyone coldly, "Since you have entered my door, you should serve me as the master, if there are two hearts, the family will be guilty." ”

The crowd became more and more frightened, and whispered, "Yes, the slave and maid don't dare." ”

After some intimidation, everyone did not dare to make a sound, and Shen Xiu was somewhat relieved.

Things are coming soon, and there is no effort to soften and win people's hearts. first shocked people, and I am afraid that this wave of crisis in front of me is sad.

didn't let everyone retreat, Shen Xiu was still sitting, and when Yin'er saw this, she hurriedly brought tea up.

After arranging things, Manager Wang turned around and came back, went to Shen Xiu and said, "Concubine Fang, it's all arranged." ”

"Is it reliable?" Shen Xiu asked.

Manager Wang said in a low voice: "Please rest assured, the old slave has been arranged." ”

The stand-in girl is his own niece, who happens to be the same size as vanilla.

If he made another mistake this time, he could really apologize with death.

Shen Xiu glanced at him and said, "I want to rest assured." ”

It was supposed to be the errand of the manager of Wang to arrange his subordinates, but he hanged a vanilla.

Mr. Wang's loyalty is enough, and his ability is not impossible. But when the opponent is strong, he has no chance of winning.

At this time, she missed Yu Yongzhao very much. Although he is a man, it is not easy to live in the mansion, but he is much more reliable than the head of the king.

"Old slave, old slave ......" Manager Wang said repeatedly, but he felt extremely embarrassed, and he couldn't think of words to defend himself.

Shen Xiu didn't have the intention of bothering with him at this time, just waved him to step back.

There are few subordinates as capable as Yu Yongzhao, and there is no one who can replace Mr. Wang at the moment, so he can only call first.

Before Shen Xiu finished his cup, he heard the sound of footsteps outside the courtyard, and the steward eunuch of Jiale Hall brought it with a dozen or so little eunuchs.

Originally, it was a menacing posture that wanted to find trouble.

But the door of the Pinghu Qiuyue Courtyard was wide open, more than 20 people stood in the courtyard, and Shen Xiulang sat on the Taishi chair, full of majesty.

In contrast, the people he brought with him were completely inadequate.

"Isn't this Lord Tang, the steward of Jiale Hall, why do you have time to come to my concubine to say goodbye." Mr. Wang stepped forward to greet him without smiling.

Shen Xiu raised her eyebrows slightly, looked at Eunuch Tang and said, "The steward of Jiale Hall? ”

The master asked straight to his face, and Eunuch Tang had to step forward to salute: "Meet Concubine Shen." ”

Shen Xiu didn't say anything about being polite, but said: "I heard that Aunt Luo was born prematurely, and such a big thing happened, but the princess sent you to greet me, presumably to report the good news." Aunt Luo gave birth, is it a man or a woman? ”

Eunuch Tang had the heart to make trouble, seized the opportunity, and said: "Aunt Luo was harmed by others, fortunately, God blessed, and gave birth to a little son......"

Before he finished speaking, Shen Xiu reprimanded: "The prince of the palace is canonized by the imperial court. Lord Tang is the person who can be used by the princess's side, but he made such a slip of the tongue, and it is a loss that I listened to it, if I let the ministers of the previous dynasty know, I am afraid that your life will not be guaranteed. ”

Eunuch Tang was immediately choked and had nothing to refute.

The son of the family is indeed canonized, but since he has a son, how can there be a reason for a stepson to inherit the family business.

"My brother's birth is a happy event, so I will prepare a gift and send it to Jiale Hall to say goodbye." Shen Xiu said.

This is really Princess Cheng's luck, Aunt Luo must have died in childbirth. But when the son was born, he was Princess Cheng's trump card.

Eunuch Tang said: "The concubine is slow, the princess sent a servant over to investigate the case." The girl in your house, Vanilla, colluded with Jiale Tang's rough mother-in-law Cai Ma to drug Aunt Luo, causing her to give birth prematurely and almost losing her life. ”

Shen Xiu laughed when she heard this, and said mockingly: "Drugged Aunt Luo, this crime~ hehe." ”

"Please hand over the vanilla to the concubine, and the slave will be carefully examined." Eunuch Tang said.

"Where's vanilla?" Shen Xiu looked at the people standing in the courtyard, and asked Manager Wang, "Which herb is it?" ”

Mr. Wang: "I was thinking about going back to the side concubine, today is the day of the side concubine's lecture, and the girl with vanilla has a lot of things, saying that there is something at home and going out of the house." ”
