Because Mu Xiangqing was announced to the palace by the Queen Mother, Cheng Chong was on duty, and after Cheng Xiaoxuan came to the old lady to celebrate her birthday, he did not stay in the house to eat, and Mu Jizhong and others sent Yin Chengzong and the other three away, and also went back to the house.

Yin Chengzong and Ouyang Zheng all the way, Pingwang all the way, left Mufu together and then went their separate ways.

"You went just in time. But at this moment, maybe he has realized it......" Yin Chengzong looked stunned, leaned on the mat and said lazily, "Hey, Jingzhi shouldn't have agreed to this marriage so quickly......"

"You don't see much of this kind of thing in the palace? Although Jingzhi's marriage was said to be that Concubine Xian begged the emperor first, if he really didn't want to, he would let it go, and Concubine Xian couldn't force him. Besides, the girls of the Mu family may not all be like this......" Ouyang Zheng leaned on the carriage with his eyes closed, and his mind crossed the pair of brown eyes for a moment.

"Well, that's not what she does...... It's a pity that I haven't seen ...... today" Yin Chengzong said as his voice gradually lowered, remembering that if he hadn't been called by Ouyang Zheng halfway to accompany King Ping, King Ping himself would have gone elsewhere to meet the beauty, causing him to miss it again today...... For a while, his heart was furious, and he muttered, "If you want me to say, you should see how he makes a fool of himself, so why help him"

Ouyang Zheng opened his eyes and glanced at Yin Chengzong, "I am a good person on weekdays, why did I rush today?" If that's the case, King Ping is not very responsible, but he was accidentally framed for a while, he can push the boat down the river and blame the Mu family on the head, and then the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion can't choose him if he wants to. It is not a good thing to completely push the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion to the side of King Ping. Although the Marquis of Zhenyuan is not to be afraid, but the Marquis of Weiyuan, Cheng Chong, has to be worried? ”

Yin Chengzong snorted coldly: "Cheng Chong's mind is deep, how can he be swayed by women?" ”

Ouyang Zheng shook his head, "After all, the two governments have been around for a long time, have you ever heard of it fourteen years ago?" Cheng Chong was originally going to marry the four girls from Mu Tian and his concubine, but it is said that the four girls died suddenly of illness, but Cheng Chong did not marry another, but married the five girls from his family. I heard that the old marquis Cheng planned to let him take five girls as concubines...... If something happens to the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion will inevitably be involved...... Outside, King Ping is known as a virtuous ......"

Ouyang Zheng pursed his lips almost imperceptibly, and said: "Even if Cheng Chong doesn't take a stand, as long as he doesn't support the other two, it will be beneficial to King Ping." If there is really a lot of relationship between the Marquis of Zhenyuan's Mansion, how can you guarantee that Cheng Chong will not support King Ping at a critical time? ”

"Having said that, as long as Cheng Chong is loyal to ......," Yin Chengzong pointed upward, "he can advance and retreat freely." ”

"If he is as loyal as he appears on his face, then it will be up to him to see who has the Sacred Heart......"

Ouyang Zheng glanced at Yin Chengzong, and slowly closed his eyes again.

Yin Chengzong was silent, pondered for a moment, and clenched his hand tightly at his side......

At this time, Huaxi hurriedly returned to Qixia Garden, did not enter the main house, and went straight to the backyard.

Cui Ming looked at this posture and knew that Huaxi was going to see Hongliu, thinking that she would persuade her first, and then let Hongliu meet with the girl, so as not to let her say something that she shouldn't say for a while, so she hurriedly persuaded: "Girl, you are not idle in this toss last day, why don't you go back to the house to rest first, and come back after sleeping?" ”

"No need." Some things are better solved as soon as possible, and the longer they are delayed, the more troublesome it will be.

Huaxi and Cui Ming arrived at the door of Hongliu, but they heard the suppressed crying inside: "...... When the old marquis was in power, maybe he could marry a young general to be a grandmother, but now he only has the role of a housekeeper and a small servant. Look at those who are worthy of people, they are not as comfortable as being maids...... I'm not reconciled, I obviously have the opportunity...... The girl's sex that doesn't fight or grab, when is it a head in this courtyard If I am a girl, how can it be like this...... I shouldn't have that mind, I'd rather have a chance, I want to try...... I'm not used to living a hard life, but you don't look at how many people are drilling into these high-ranking families."

Huaxi pushed open the door, Chunying and Hongliu were sitting opposite each other on the kang, raised their eyes and saw Huaxi at the door, Chunying hurriedly stood up, Hongliu was fluted, and then slowly came down from the kang.

"Rest, you don't have to come down" Huaxi stood at the door and didn't go in, "I don't blame you for Aimu Ronghua, I only blame you for choosing the wrong time and the wrong person to cooperate...... The four girls are engaged, whether it is a draft marriage, or a marriage with the deep-rooted Luodong Palace. But it's someone else... What kind of unsightly means are used during the filial piety period of Hou Ye, then you should first see who the other party is? Don't think that you can really succeed in the end after getting the sweetness for a while? disturbed the marriage of the fourth girl, and the old lady would not spare that person to see that you are usually calm, but I didn't expect that at this time, you were completely confused. ”

Shang Shi Huang, no matter how stupid the Hou Ye is, he will not stand in line so early. Besides, even if you want to take sides, you won't use such a subordinate method, which will only backfire.

Hongliu was speechless in a daze, and her eyes became more and more trance-like.

Hongliu didn't think so far, and Huaxi didn't plan to keep her, and said: "I won't stop you from doing what you want to do, but you shouldn't drag me and the people in this courtyard Since you don't want to live in my courtyard, I won't keep you, just now, at lunchtime, the eldest lady, Aunt Yang and the fifth sister didn't come to Lanyue Tower." I'll let Mother Wang come over later, and you can do it yourself in the future......"

Hongliu looked at Huaxi, and fear flashed in her eyes.

Huaxi shook her head, stopped looking at her, turned to Cui Ming and said, "You stay with her...... Chunying, go to the house and serve. ”

Cui Ming sighed silently, "Yes"

As soon as Huaxi went out, she instructed Chunying to go to Wang's mother to come over, saying that if there was something to discuss, you must not alarm others. Chunying promised to leave.

Huaxi raised her hand and pressed her temple, thinking of the past of Hongliu, how many people in this world can really see through the glory and wealth? In the world of flowers, you can see and touch it but know that it is not yours, you can think about it if you see too much, and you will get it deeper and deeper if you indulge in it, and you can't see that the place is actually Longtan Tiger's Den...... If you really want to fight for it like Hongliu said, hmph, who knows if you can wait until the day you leave the house at this time......

Big house, Gyeongbok Garden.

Yin's face was gloomy, looking at Aunt Yang and Yun Xin who were kneeling on the ground, and asked, "Fifth girl, are you in good shape?" ”

Yun Xin lowered her head and replied in a low voice: "Mother Xie's concern is no longer in the way. The voice was unusually calm.

Yin raised his eyebrows, "It's okay?" Then I want to ask you about the good things you did, and not long after the marquis took the title, you dared to disregard etiquette, righteousness and shame and seduce His Royal Highness King Ping in Shutong Garden? When this matter spreads, where do you want the face of the Mu family to go? ”

"Mother, Yun Xin didn't, she didn't seduce His Royal Highness King Ping" Yun Xin whispered with tears in her eyes, "Yun Xin just played the piano in Shutong Garden for a while, and when she played a song, she realized that there was someone behind her, but she didn't expect it to be His Royal Highness King Ping." Yun Xin really doesn't know when His Royal Highness King Ping will be behind him......"

"You don't know?" Yin sneered, "Pull the jade bead up." ”

In a moment, two sturdy mothers-in-law came in with Yun Xin's personal maid Yuzhu and threw them to the ground.

Yun Xin was startled, pounced on Yuzhu and grabbed Yuzhu's hand, seeing that the clothes on Yuzhu's back were already tattered, and the flesh and blood below were blurred, tears were falling down, and she couldn't stop shouting: "Yuzhu, Yuzhu, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Ahem, girl—" Yuzhu's voice was so low that she was almost inaudible, "it hurts, ......"

Yun Xin raised her head, looked at Yin, and cried: "Mother, what do you ask me directly, why do you have to embarrass Yuzhu?" ”

Yin Shi shouted: "Hmph, you can't protect yourself, and you still have the mind to worry about your maid." The master made a mistake, and she couldn't escape the blame for the mother-in-law who was in charge of sprinkling the north courtyard today, and saw Shangshu Yuzhu leading King Ping to the direction of Shutong Garden, not at your instigation, which one else could do it? You still keep saying that you don't know when King Ping went? ”

"How does my mother know that it wasn't the woman who wanted to shirk her responsibility and frame Yuzhu? Beating Yuzhu like this, isn't it suspected of being beaten into a trick? ”

Yun Xin is soft and weak on weekdays, and she doesn't dare to speak loudly, but today she spoke against the eldest lady for a beaten maid, which made the people waiting on the side couldn't help but look dumbfounded.

Yuzhu, who was lying on her stomach on the side, also woke up from a daze, and when she heard Yun Xin say this, she cried profusely and muttered, "Girl, why are you doing this?" The eldest lady, yes, it was King Ping who asked the slave maid for directions, and then heard the sound of the piano and went to Shutong Garden by himself...... No, it's none of the five girls......"

Yin was robbed by Yun Xin in front, and then heard Yuzhu take the matter on himself, his eyes became more and more fierce, "You still dare to use strong words?" The way you looked when you came back last morning, a discerning person can see why? It's all because you seduced King Ping to light ** incense. Fortunately, King Ping is fine, otherwise the whole house would have been dragged down by you, and you still don't know how to repent until now? ”

"Mother-I didn't put any ** incense," Yun Xin argued loudly.

Seeing Yun Xin's hard mouth, Yin Shi directly ordered: "Isn't it?" With all the physical evidence, do you still want to be cunning? Come on, drag the five girls out to play the five boards, and come back for another trial......"

As soon as the words fell, the mother-in-law who had just executed Yuzhu was ready to come up and drag Yun Xin away.

Aunt Yang desperately stopped her mother-in-law from letting Yun Xin take away, while shouting: "Madam, it's not the fifth girl, it's not the fifth girl...... That incense wasn't put by the five girls......"

Yuzhu, who was lying on the ground, saw the two mothers-in-law come up, and she didn't know where she got the strength, so she climbed a few steps forward and shouted at Yin: "It's not a girl, it's not a girl, it's all made by slaves."

Yin Shi was taken aback by Yuzhu, looked at the blood mark under Yuzhu's body, leaned back in the chair, and shouted urgently: "It's the other way around, it's coming, it's coming, quickly drag this cheap maid away and drag the five girls out to play ten boards......"

The mother-in-law dragged the hands of the five girls out, and the five girls kept shouting grievances. Aunt Yang cried and shouted not to let her mother-in-law take people away, and she was torn together with her mother-in-law. Yuzhu was pulled up by the maid who was waiting by Yin's side, and the blood was still flowing down from her back, which frightened the maid's hands and legs to be weak, and she couldn't walk when she dragged the person.

All of a sudden, there was a mess in the hall.

When the two parties were at a stalemate, a loud shout suddenly came from the courtyard: "Stop, what are you doing here?" ”()
