Chapter 80: Sisters Speak
In the second year of junior high school, he returned to the province, except for the Wu family in the Yanwang Mansion. Whether it is Princess Yan or Cheng Yuanniang, they can be regarded as having no mother's home to return to.
The funeral is not over the years, coupled with the reputation of the Pingyuan Hou Mansion, Mrs. Cheng and the Pingyuan Hou have been buried a year ago. Not a single guest was invited, and the funeral was quiet.
As for the descendants of the Plains Marquis Mansion, although there is no master for the time being, Princess Cheng's residual power is still there, and more importantly, Cheng Shaomu may still be alive.
Princess Cheng asked Aunt Li to temporarily take charge of the affairs of the mansion, although she was still in a panic, at least the operation of the Hou Mansion could be maintained.
"What the hell is going on, on Chinese New Year's Eve, how did Shizi go to the princess of the county?" Princess Cheng asked, looking very displeased.
The New Year is hard, and this year's New Year is particularly hard.
Cheng Yuanniang was so uneasy that she couldn't keep Han Xiao on Chinese New Year's Eve. Bai made the Wu family proud, and also made the Manfu laugh at Cheng Yuanniang.
"Alas......" Zhou Xijia couldn't help but sigh and said, "The princess is not very emotionally stable, and the slave maid has always comforted her. When the prince came, the princess was also happy, but later ......"
Later, after saying a few more words, Cheng Yuanniang hoped that Han Xiao could be the master of the Pingyuan Hou Mansion, which was also human nature.
The father and mother are dead, the whereabouts of the brother are unknown, and the wife wants her husband to help, at least a few words of comfort are also natural.
As a result, Han Xiao shook his hand and left.
Cheng Yuanniang cried loudly, making her look helpless and distressed.
"What's going on with the Plains Hou Mansion, don't you count it in your heart!!" Princess Cheng was suddenly angry, "Yuan Niang is not sensible, are you not sensible either." ”
Under normal circumstances, a husband is meant to comfort his wife. But the tragedy of the Plains Hou Mansion, Han Xiao couldn't get rid of it at all.
It's best to keep your mouth shut, no matter what kind of hatred you have in your heart, life will always go on. just wanted to cut Han Xiao and give birth to a son.
There is not even this bit of city government, not only Cheng Yuanniang is a waste, but Zhou Xi's family is also useless.
"The princess forgives her sins." Zhou Xi's family knelt down directly, "It's all the slave's fault, and I didn't assist the princess well." It's just that the princess of the world is emotionally unstable when her relatives pass away, and she hopes that the princess will be considerate and not punished. ”
Cheng Yuanniang can be said to have had a smooth life, even if she married Han Xiao, she felt that Han Xiao was a rare wishful husband.
Where did I think that in the blink of an eye, my mother's family was broken, and my husband was so ruthless and indifferent.
If you let her know again that the tragedy of her mother's family was caused by her husband, I am afraid that Cheng Yuanniang will collapse on the spot.
"Alas, get up, I won't punish her." Princess Cheng said, although she was angry, she couldn't bear to punish Cheng Yuanniang again.
What's more, she is still counting on Cheng Yuanniang to give birth to a grandson.
When he has a grandson, he will no longer have to scruple about the means of dealing with Han Xiao.
"Princess Xie." Zhou Xijia said, and then stood up.
Princess Cheng was about to say more, but she saw Mrs. Hu walk in with a panicked face and said, "Princess, something is wrong." ”
As she spoke, Mrs. Hu glanced at Zhou Xi's family. She didn't know if Princess Cheng took Zhou Xi's family as her own, so she didn't dare to say some things.
"It's okay, you can say it." Princess Cheng said, "I believe there will be no good news for the New Year." ”
Only then did Mrs. Hu say: "Just now, the prefect sent someone to spread the word, saying that Tao is crazy. ”
"What!" Princess Cheng was taken aback, "I didn't tell you, you must be careful to look at this Tao." ”
Tao is the key to overturning the case, if Tao dies in prison and is sentenced to commit suicide in fear of crime, then the title of the Marquis of Pingyuan will really not be kept.
"The person sent by the prefect said that he had been guarding carefully, but for some reason, Tao suddenly went crazy." Mrs. Hu said, "I kept saying that I killed my mother-in-law." ”
Princess Cheng suddenly felt dizzy and almost planted on the ground.
"It's crazy to say something like that......"
The words of a madman cannot be trusted, but Dow is so crazy that he still says such a thing, that is, he is guilty of death.
"I can't tell the whole story, but it was fine last night, and that's it this morning." Hu Pozi said, also full of worry.
Princess Cheng sat down on a chair and almost gritted her teeth: "On Chinese New Year's Eve, I went to spend the night, it's really a good time to start." ”
The yamen has been on vacation, and the cell boss is also a human being, and he has to go home for the holidays. The prefect of Qingyang was originally a fool, and no matter how careful he was, he was still in the way of others.
"Then ...... now," said Mrs. Hu.
Tao was crazy, and the Qingyang prefect had no idea at all, so he had to send someone to inform Princess Cheng, hoping that Princess Cheng would have an idea.
"Tell him to poison Dow, and only say that Dow was assassinated." Princess Cheng said, "A madman with a mouth full of nonsense, do you want her to testify in court?" ”
Tao was killed in prison, although the Qingyang prefect was guilty of dereliction of duty. But at the same time, it can also be announced that there is another hidden story in this case, otherwise why would the suspect be assassinated.
Hu Pozi suddenly said, "The princess is thoughtful, and the slave and maid will go to pass the word." ”
"Go ahead." Princess Cheng said.
Mrs. Hu hurriedly went.
When Zhou Xijia heard this, he only felt bad in his heart.
Although she volunteered to come to Yanwangfu to serve Cheng Yuanniang, she didn't really want to get involved in the affairs of Yanwangfu. Hearing such a confidential thing, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult to withdraw in the future.
"Since you are married by the Shen family, you should know about that Uncle Shen." Princess Cheng changed the topic and asked Zhou Xi's family.
After Zhou Xi's family told Shen Yue in front of her that day, she was very attentive.
There are a lot of affairs for the New Year, and she is a female dependent, so it is not good to publicly summon foreign men. Although he sent Mrs. Hu to go, she did not see anyone.
What the HSBC shipping company said was that the New Year was busy, and the big owner went to collect the accounts. When, whether it will come back or not, it is unknown. If you want to find someone, please be early next year, maybe you can meet it.
Of course, if you are unlucky and Shen Yue returns to Kaiyang, then you can only go to Kaiyang to find someone.
"When the slave and maid came to marry, Uncle Shen was still young." Zhou Xijia replied cautiously, "Later, my wife mentioned that Uncle Shen looked like a grandfather." ”
Princess Cheng said: "I'm asking you, what is his temperament?" ”
"Arrogant and difficult to get along with." Zhou Xijia said.
When he was in the Pingyuan Hou Mansion, Shen Yue turned his face on the spot. If it weren't for that, she wouldn't have been suspicious of him.
"A small merchant wants to move down the Hou Mansion......" Princess Cheng said to herself, not that she didn't believe Zhou Xijia's words, but thought about it and felt incredible.
It is inconceivable that Shen Yue can live, and it is inconceivable that he has made such a big deal.
What's more, the Shen family was all killed. Mrs. Cheng is his aunt and Mrs. Houfu. The normal logic should be to find a way to ease the relationship and take advantage of the momentum of the Plains Marquis Mansion to take his business to the next level.
Even if you have a grudge in your heart and disdain to befriend him, then just ignore it. The rich do not fight with the officials, and the people do not fight with the officials, which is also the way to protect oneself.
Or is it that Shen Yue has a bigger backstage behind him, and he completely disdains the Pingyuan Hou Mansion?
Or, Shen Yue's move was originally to curry favor with Han Xiao?
"It's just the slave's whims, not necessarily true." Zhou Xijia hurriedly said.
She didn't have any proof, it was all about feeling.
Inform Princess Cheng about this, just to remind Princess Cheng that there is also a figure like Shen Yue, and she should not be taken lightly.
But if it was Shen Yue who planned all this, she really didn't know.
"I understand." Princess Cheng said, but she couldn't help but fall into contemplation, and asked Zhou Xijia: "In addition to this temperament, what is so special about this Uncle Shen?" ”
Zhou Xijia thought for a while and said, "The slave and maid are only one side of the relationship with him, I really don't know." But if you want to talk about what is outstanding, his appearance is very outstanding. ”
"Outstanding?" Princess Cheng asked.
Zhou Xijia said: "The men I have seen, combined, I am afraid that there is not half of him." ”
The five generations of the noble Shen family, even if the first generation looks ordinary, the five generations of genetic improvement are all beauties.
Shen Yue is a rare beautiful man, and Shen Xiu is also a rare beauty, this pair of brothers and sisters is really indistinguishable.
"Heh, what a beautiful man." Princess Cheng said, "I know all this, you can go back." Take good care of Yuan Niang, and don't tell her superfluous things. But what happened on Chinese New Year's Eve must no longer happen. ”
"Yes, slave understands." Zhou Xijia said.
Princess Cheng closed her eyes and said, "I'm tired, let's go." ”
"The slave and maid are gone." Zhou Xijia said, bowed and retreated.
Coming out of Princess Cheng's main house, Zhou Xi's family went all the way back to the Shizi's Mansion. Originally, he could have borrowed the road to Nuan Xiangwu, so that he could have less roads, but Zhou Xi's family really didn't have the energy to deal with the Wu family anymore, so they simply walked a long way.
Physically and mentally exhausted, he returned to the main room, only to see Xu Mei also in the house, talking to Cheng Yuanniang.
Xu Mei often goes to the Pingyuan Hou Mansion, and has a deep affection for Cheng Shao. Now that the Plains Marquis Mansion has suddenly changed, Cheng Shaomu's life and death are unknown, Xu Mei feels uncomfortable, and Cheng Yuanniang has become a difficult sister.
"Woo, woo......" Cheng Yuanniang cried: "Something happened at home, the prince didn't ask a word, I said a few more words, he was still annoyed." ”
She has always been satisfied with Han Xiao, and that is because Han Xiao is quite polite to her, and she is respectful of each other.
Now that something has happened to her mother's family, how can she not complain about Han Xiao's attitude.
"Alas, my sister is also miserable." Xu Mei persuaded Cheng Yuanniang, but said: "According to me, maybe the Wu family used some means." ”
"She?" Cheng Yuanniang was puzzled.
Xu Mei said: "Sister doesn't know, the Wu family dresses up every day and is enchanting, and the side room where the merchant came out, he was righted before he even gave birth to a son." ”
Although the Xu family is ruined and has little money, she is always the daughter of the official family. For the daughters of merchants, especially the main room of Fuzheng, in their eyes, they are still concubines and the like, and they can't be on the stage.
"I've seen that Wu a few times." Cheng Yuanniang said, with disdain in her words.
She is the daughter of the Hou Mansion, and in her eyes, the Wu family is a scumbag, and she is not worth a glance at at all.
"Sister should be careful, such a woman can do anything." Xu Mei said.
When Zhou Xijia heard this, he couldn't listen to it anymore, so he stepped forward and greeted with a smile: "Mrs. Xu is here." ”
