Chapter 52: Fear
Bai Jinghao inquired a little and knew that Bai Qingping had gone to Qin Rou's house to talk for a long time when she first entered the mansion, and went to see her before leaving.
She knew that Qin Rou couldn't tolerate her, and Bai Qingping was not happy to see that marriage.
Tomorrow's incense on the Puhua Temple, there must be a conspiracy.
Bai Jinghao made a decision immediately, and when he was bathing, he deliberately asked Er Kite to carry cold water into the house, and then opened the window to sleep.
The autumn night was cold, and the foundation itself was not good, so it was hot before midnight.
The next day, everyone in the house knew that the frail eldest lady was sick again.
Bai Qingping happily came to pick up people, but only took Bai Jinyao and Bai Jinzhu on the trip.
In the boudoir, Bai Jinghao was holding the medicine bowl and nesting on the bed, her face pale.
Qiao's mother said distressedly: "Why is Miss tossing herself like this, if you don't want to go to Puhua Temple with your aunt's wife, just pretend to be sick, how can you really take a cold bath?" ”
"You have also seen Aunt Fangcai's battle, and you have to listen to Lang Zhong's diagnosis with your own ears before you are willing to leave. If you just pretend to be sick, how can you hide it from her? ”
Bai Jinghao drank all the decoction in the bowl, and then took the candied fruit handed by the other party and put it in his mouth to remove the bitterness.
Qiao's mother looked worried, "But your body has only been conditioned by Imperial Doctor Lu, and now you have changed back to Song Langzhong in Jirentang, I am afraid that no matter how much you drink this decoction, it will be useless." ”
"I know the ingredients in this bowl of soup, so my mother doesn't have to worry about me."
Bai Jinghao closed his eyes and said, "This time is different from the past. In the past, the eldest lady just thought I was an eyesore, and when she saw that I was willing to be obedient, she didn't have the idea that she had to get rid of me, so she asked Song Langzhong to treat me with that useless and ineffective formula. Now, if she wants to give any more orders, she should add a few flavors of arsenic and other poisonous things to the medicine. ”
Mother Qiao was shocked when she heard this, and answered: "Now the affairs of the mansion are presided over by the old lady herself, and the eldest lady will not dare to blatantly harm you." ”
Bai Jing asked with a smile: "The old lady is old, even if she controls the family power now, how long can she be on the board?" ”
"What does the young lady mean that sooner or later the old lady will return the right to give the middle feed to the eldest lady?"
Bai Jinghao smiled bitterly: "This is inevitable, the two ladies in the house are her daughters-in-law, even if the old lady doesn't care about their faces, she will also think of the relationship between mother and son." In the final analysis, the second aunt was too aggressive and wasted the opportunity. ”
"Last time, the second lady was also anxious to grab the handle of the eldest lady, so that she could gain a firm foothold."
Bai Jinghao shook her head and said discouragedly: "She was eager for quick success, but she was used by the eldest lady." With this matter, the old lady is determined to leave all the affairs in the house to her again. ”
"The second lady doesn't take care of things, so she can only continue to rely on the eldest lady."
Qiao's mother also sighed, and said, "The second lady has a heart, I heard that you are not feeling well, and she sent the maid around her to visit early in the morning. She has now been punished for thinking about it behind closed doors, and she has not even returned to her mother's serious illness, which shows her deference to the old lady. ”
"Do you believe that the old lady of the Chen family is seriously ill? The second aunt has no choice, send her two daughters back to her parents' house to move the rescuers to relieve the difficulties, you watch, it won't be long before her mother's house will come and report to the old lady for her. ”
Bai Jinghao is well versed in the second lady's temperament, she is a person who has a plan but is unable to organize, and when she encounters difficulties, she goes back to Chen's house for help. Sending a maidservant girl to her early in the morning was nothing more than wanting to continue to join forces, and she didn't bother to pay attention to it.
A good hand of cards, can be played like this by her, Bai Jing is still annoyed!
After noon, the two young ladies returned to the house, and after meeting the old lady, Bai Jinyao arrived at Rongfu Hall.
Bai Jinyao's face was full of exhaustion, and when she saw her mother, she complained: "Mother, you also told me last night that I was going to trip Jinzhu in Puhua Temple, but this morning the eldest sister said that she was sick, causing us to run away in vain." ”
"How did I know she would be so clever? I was still alive yesterday, and I was so sick in the middle of the night that I couldn't get out of bed! Qin Rou was also angry.
Bai Jinyao asked, "Does she know our plan?" ”
"I discussed this matter secretly with your aunt, and it is impossible to leak the news, but I am afraid that she is deliberately wary."
Bai Jinyao was jealous, and said in annoyance: "She is so shrewd now, how can we deal with it?" Mother, she hurt my face and missed many banquets, you must make decisions for your daughter. ”
"Rest assured. Your aunt has already interceded for me in front of the old lady, and I believe that in the near future, the power of the family will return to my mother's hands. When the time comes, are you still worried that you won't be able to handle a Bai Jing? ”
In this way, Bai Jinyao heard a lot, but Bai Jinghao still stayed in Pinmei Xuan with pampering, and often made friends with powerful people, which was a hundred times more angry than the life of being depressed in the small courtyard before.
So, she muttered softly, "I'm afraid that my mother will have nothing to do with her now." ”
Qin Rou looked over dissatisfied, "Are you questioning your mother?" ”
"It's not that I want to question your abilities, it's just that she's really powerful now, and we've all folded in her hands several times. You don't know, just last night after I heard about your plan, I also had a dream at night, I dreamed that in Puhua Temple, I should have tripped up Jinzhu and let the house slave pretending to be a gangster capture Bai Jing so that it would be easy to leave, but I was taken away, and I woke up sweating in fright. ”
Qin Rou looked at the unpromising girl and shook her head again and again, "How can you do your best to destroy your own prestige?" The first few times I underestimated the enemy, I didn't expect Bai Jinghao to have such ability, even if we were frustrated for a while, what did she have in this mansion? A weak girl who is helpless is also worth your days and nights! ”
Bai Jinyao was reprimanded and aggrieved, and muttered in an urn voice: "If it weren't for her calculations, her daughter's reputation outside would not be so ugly, and she would not have lost her position as the princess." ”
In the final analysis, she still thinks about the imperial grandson.
Knowing the daughter Mo Ruomu, Qin Rou said sharply: "How many times have I told you, no matter how good His Royal Highness is the grandson, it is someone else's Xiao Lang." Your father has already become very close to the Sixth Prince, and even your brother has gone to serve in the Six Princes' Mansion, if you think about the East Palace again, will you not fail our plans for you? ”
Bai Jinyao was not ruthless enough, and reminded: "But my aunt is the crown princess, she is a serious relative of our family, and she used to take care of my mother and me a lot, how can we be worthy of her?" ”
"No matter how much your aunt feels sorry for you, she can't allow you to be the princess, didn't she compromise the queen and hire your aunt's daughter as the princess? You are the young lady of our Bai family, and you must not be a side room. Qin Rou's tone was firm.
Bai Jinyao pursed her lips and preached, "Mother, let's think about how to deal with the one in Pinmei Xuan." As long as she's in one day, I feel that no matter how good you plan for me, it doesn't count, and sooner or later she will ruin it. ”
She had a plan in her heart, and suddenly said: "Among the Song Langzhong who saw her for her, I remember that it was your mother." ”
Seeing that she could have an idea, Qin Rou looked satisfied, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, Song Langzhong is still useful." A few years ago, there was a doctor-patient accident in Jiren Hall, which killed someone, and I sent someone to settle it for his family. ”
Bai Jinyao immediately said: "Then it's simpler, hasn't she been taking medicine recently?" Mother directly instructed Song Langzhong to let my sister die of illness silently! ”
