Chapter 375: Knocking
As soon as she heard the invitation of the four girls, Mrs. Xiao's heart jumped, and she didn't dare to say anything on her face, so she obediently followed Aman to Haitang Residence.
"Girl, Mother Xiao has arrived."
After listening to Aman's report, Jiang Ru put down the teacup in his hand: "Let her in." β
Mrs. Xiao walked in with low eyebrows and saluted Jiang Ru: "Say hello to the fourth girl." β
There was no movement for a while.
Mrs. Xiao beat a drum in her heart, and she maintained a saluting posture and did not dare to move.
I don't know how long it took, a soft and cold voice came: "No need to be polite. β
Mrs. Xiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief and straightened up.
"Mama Xiao."
"The old slave is here, I don't know what the four girls have to say?"
Jiang seemed to look at Mrs. Xiao and felt funny.
Where did such groveling appear in the second wife's henchmen before, no wonder everyone has to go to a high place.
After looking at it for a moment, Jiang seemed to be straight to the point and said, "Mother Xiao, I don't care what you have in mind, I only have one thing to remind you, don't stretch your hand to the big room." β
Mrs. Xiao's heart was shocked, and she looked at Jiang in astonishment.
There was not much expression on the girl's face, only a pair of black jewel-like eyes that showed cold to the bone.
Mrs. Xiao shuddered.
"Four girls, old slavesβ"
Jiang Ruliang interrupted Mrs. Xiao's words: "Hongyue's death, you are unwilling. β
Mrs. Xiao stared at Jiang as if she had seen a ghost, and a huge wave was set off in her heart.
Why did the four girls know?
The masters of the mansion still don't know that she has long known the true cause of her daughter's death, and she is even better at concealing it in front of the Xiao family, and has regained the trust of the Xiao family, which can fuel the fire and make the second girl go to a dead end, but how can the fourth girl who is far away in Haitang know her thoughts?
Mrs. Xiao only felt that the beautiful girl in front of her was terrifying and mysterious, which was terrifying.
Jiang seemed to lean lazily on the back of the chair, and said with a smile: "Mother Xiao doesn't have to be curious about why I know your mind, just as I don't wonder why Jiang Qian is completely irrational and harms me." You just have to remember that the big house is not the place for you to reach out, and if you don't follow the rules, then I will chop off your claws. Do you understand? β
Mrs. Xiao subconsciously took a step back, her face became more and more ugly, and a voice in her heart screamed: The fourth girl knows that she provoked the second girl! The four girls all know it!
How did the four girls know?
In the end, she didn't ask anything, knelt down and kowtowed to Jiang Yi: "Fourth girl, don't worry, the old slave is the most well-behaved person." β
Jiang seemed to laugh: "That's good, Mother Xiao will go back." β
The wicked have their own wicked grinding, how Mrs. Xiao will deal with the second wife, she will wait and see.
Mrs. Xiao got up and almost fled.
Dongpingbo Mansion was proud for a while, but he didn't know that the atmosphere in the palace was quite solemn.
The Queen Mother has been unwell for several days.
Emperor Jingming came to Cining Palace early to visit the Queen Mother.
There was a faint smell of medicine in Cining Palace, and Emperor Jingming sniffed lightly, feeling a little weak.
The Queen Mother seemed to be angry.
"The emperor has a lot of opportunities, why did he come here again?" The Queen Mother was leaning on the bedside screen to recuperate, and when she saw Emperor Jingming coming in, she wanted to get up.
Emperor Jingming hurriedly walked over and held down the Queen Mother: "The Queen Mother is lying down." Is the Queen Mother feeling better today? β
The Queen Mother still sat up straight and smiled: "It's nothing, it's all the emperor's fuss." β
Emperor Jingming hurriedly said: "Of course it's good if there's nothing to do." At the moment, it is still warm and cold, and the queen mother still has to take care of her body, so that her son can rest assured. β
The Queen Mother is already a person who is close to old age, and she can't afford to be moved.
Thinking of this, Emperor Jingming was quite annoyed.
Who chewed his tongue and spread the news of choosing a concubine for the prince to the ears of the queen mother? Let him know that he must cramp and peel!
Seeing that Emperor Jingming's eyes were full of concern, the Queen Mother finally said her troubles: "Your Majesty, why did you decide such a big matter as choosing a concubine for the prince in such a hurry?" β
Emperor Jingming touched his nose and was very innocent: "Are you in a hurry?" My son thought about it all night. β
The Queen Mother wanted to roll her eyes, but she was too old to move, and said with a straight face: "After thinking about it all night, I decided on the girl of Dongping Bofu for Lao Qi?" The mourning family heard that the girl had withdrawn. β
Or Su Ke's daughter.
For that beautiful woman, the Queen Mother still remembers.
"The queen mother even knows that the seventh daughter-in-law has retired from her relatives, and the queen mother is wise."
"How old are you, don't talk to the mourners." The Queen Mother glanced at Emperor Jingming and said angrily, "There are so many women in the world, no matter how you are, you shouldn't choose a woman with a flawed reputation to be the princess." β
"Queen Mother, relax, I saw the seventh daughter-in-law that day, and I saw that she was a dignified and polite person."
Well, it's okay to be cold and arrogant, and it's okay to say that it's dignified and polite.
The Queen Mother frowned more and more: "The seventh daughter-in-law, the seventh daughter-in-law, people haven't entered the door of the royal family yet, is it appropriate for the emperor to have an old seventh daughter-in-law?" β
Emperor Jingming's dead pig is not afraid of boiling water: "The son has been married, and this time they have no way to withdraw from the marriage." β
The Queen Mother was choked half to death.
Listening to the emperor's tone, dare to feel that he has taken a big advantage?
"Okay, the mourning family is tired, the emperor should go back."
Emperor Jingming felt that the old lady was thinking about it, and said with a smile: "Then you have a good rest, my son will go back first, and I will come to see you tomorrow." β
"No need." The Queen Mother closed her eyes and became even more depressed.
Emperor Jingming persuaded again: "Don't worry too much about the children's affairs, the children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and whether they can live well depends on them in the end." If you don't know anything, you just marry a fairy and come back, and you will still make a miasma. β
Speaking of which, Emperor Jingming annoyed the prince again.
That thing that is not angry, even if the crown princess Derong Yangong is not the top, it is good in all aspects, why is it snubbed every day?
Spoiling concubines and killing wives in ordinary homes will mess up the inner house, and if it is put on the royal family, especially the prince, it may bring disaster to the country.
Leaving Cining Palace, Emperor Jingming immediately called the prince over and gave him a lecture.
The prince was stunned.
What did he do?
Is his father's management too lenient, and he will be disciplined if he doesn't want to see the crown princess?
Back in the East Palace, the prince overturned the table and was so angry that he was spinning.
He has heard that the daughter-in-law of the seventh child looks better than the fairy, if he married such a princess at the beginning, then he would not be annoyed!
It's obvious that his father doesn't care about him, but he always stares at him with wide eyes and finds fault with him!
The more the prince thought about it, the more unhappy he became, and a thought suddenly came to his heart: The queen mother has been gone for so long, has the father listened to the pillow wind of those demon concubines too much, and wants to replace him as the prince?
In the imperial study, Pan Hai cautiously advised: "Don't be angry, the prince will be able to understand your hard work slowly." β
"Slowly? I don't think he's right at all! β
The prince is like this, how can he rest assured that he will hand over the country to that bastard in the future.
