The fifth lady thought of Old Lady Su's instructions, since the old lady told her to do it, wouldn't it just so happen that she could also help Su Chen get the favor of the Fourth Prince?

The fifth lady looked at Su Chen, and said with a resolute gaze: "Chen'er, don't worry, my mother will definitely help you." ”

Her son is the best descendant of the Su family, and she will definitely tell everyone.

After Su Zhan came back from the Changsun Mansion, he was called over by Mrs. Su, and Mrs. Su knocked on the side, wanting to find out the movements of the Changsun Mansion.

"Your Highness has a good temper and treats your grandson very kindly, grandmother, don't worry." Su Zhan said respectfully.

Old Madam Su smiled and nodded: "That's good, that's good, but Zhan'er, His Royal Highness treats you kindly, but in the end, there is a difference between monarchs and ministers, you still have to be careful in everything." ”

Su Zhan had a sincere admiration in his eyes, "Grandmother, don't worry, grandchildren will be careful." ”

In Su Zhan's eyes, Mrs. Su has always been the grandmother who loves him and cares about him.

Old Mrs. Su bowed her head in relief, paused, but her words changed, and she said bitterly: "Also, Zhan'er, His Royal Highness the eldest grandson has a special identity, grandmother knows that you are smart, but Zhan'er, you have always been kind-hearted, and you don't know how to deal with people's hearts, if there is something that is not accurate, I don't know how to deal with it, you must come to ask your grandmother, or discuss with a few uncles, you must not make your own claims, you know, you are now representing our Su family, and a slight mistake will bring disaster to the family." ”

Su Zhan frowned slightly, and there was a strange feeling in his heart, but he still replied: "Yes, my grandson remembers his grandmother's teachings." After a pause, he said: "My grandson will go out for a day today, and my mother will definitely remember it, and my grandson will retire first." ”

Old Mrs. Su smiled lovingly: "Go ahead, so that your mother can rest assured." ”

Su Zhan walked out after saluting, and when he lifted the curtain, he couldn't help but glance back, and found that the expression on Mrs. Su's loving face was a little indifferent.

Su Zhan retracted his gaze and turned around and walked out.

Su Zhan went to Tingyuxuan, and as soon as he walked into the courtyard, he heard the Chen family inside ordering people to have a hot meal: "Warm all the food, and the third young master will eat it when he comes back." ”

Su Zhan's heart warmed, and he walked in, and Chen saw that his eyes lit up, and he took his hand and began to ask.

"Is His Royal Highness the eldest grandson good to get along? But have you been wronged? Are you still adapting? ”

Su Zhan replied one by one, and then said: "Mother, don't worry, His Royal Highness the eldest grandson is very good, and I have not been wronged." ”

Su Yunlai stood on the side, watched them talk, and then said, "Mother, I see that the third brother has gained some weight and grown a little taller in the past few days, is the clothes a little out of place?" ”

When Chen heard this, he looked at Su Zhan's side, frowned and said, "It seems that there is a little, you wait, my mother will find the fabric, and then make you a few new clothes." ”

Chen was most reluctant to wronged the child, and regardless of time, he pulled Mama Lan to find the material.

As soon as the Chen family left, Su Yunlai looked at Su Zhan with a serious face: "Third brother, when you go to the Eldest Sun's Mansion today, did His Royal Highness the Eldest Sun tell you something?" ”

Su Zhan thought of Mrs. Su's uneasy look, so he raised his eyebrows and asked, "What, are you also worried that I will say the wrong thing and do the wrong thing, and affect the whole family?" ”

Su Yun glanced at him, and then understood: "Have you gone to see your grandmother?" ”

Only Mrs. Su would think like this.

Although Su Zhan was a little surprised how Su Yunlai could think of his grandmother, he didn't ask.

Su Yunlai sighed in his heart, and then said bluntly: "I went to Fahua Temple with my mother today to pray for your blessings, and I saw the young general in the temple. ”

Su Zhan was stunned for a moment, and before he could think carefully about the reason, Su Yunlai continued: "The young general ordered your name for no reason, and became the companion of His Royal Highness the eldest grandson, this matter seems random, but it is not so simple, how many people want to put people around His Royal Highness the eldest grandson, but they have not succeeded, and now there is a you who can enter and leave the eldest grandson's mansion freely." ”

"His Royal Highness the eldest grandson is sensitive, and the relationship with the emperor is becoming increasingly tense, many people will want you to control the movements of His Royal Highness the eldest grandson from the body, I ask you this, I don't want to question you anything, it's just, third brother, we are in a passive state, only by figuring out Gu Junyan's motives, can we make good plans and not be slaughtered by others." Su Yunlai said seriously.

Slaughtered by others, Su Yunlai used four very serious words, in fact, these four words are not serious for Su Yun at all, because they were so killed in their last life that their families were ruined.

Su Zhan thought of what Li Sheng said today, he understood that Su Yunlai's worries were not groundless, he thought for a while, and then asked: "But I'm just a companion, the emperor's eldest grandson won't believe me so easily, what can I know?" Could they be thinking too much? ”

"You know, I know, but people outside don't think so, don't forget, now the fifth brother is studying in the country, and he is still the second prince's companion candidate, look at it, in a few days the fifth aunt will be stuffing people around you." Su Yunlai said firmly.

Su Zhan looked noncommittal, but he still told Su Yun about today's events.

"So, he wants to give the emperor a birthday gift?" Su Yunlai asked thoughtfully.

Su Zhan nodded: "This matter is not so simple, I can also guess some of the intentions of the emperor's eldest grandson, the emperor's eldest grandson is growing up, but the relationship with the emperor is not as good as before, this time to send a congratulatory gift, the emperor's eldest grandson also has his own intentions, he wants to take this opportunity to ease the relationship with the emperor, after all, he is now fledgling and cannot confront the emperor, so this time, he wants to take the opportunity of his birthday to ease the relationship with the emperor." ”

"What does the third brother think about the birthday gift?" Su Yunlai asked.

"I have some ideas, but this matter is extraordinary, and I didn't rush to answer His Royal Highness the eldest grandson." Su Zhan replied.

Su Yunlai nodded and said approvingly: "The third brother is very thoughtful......

"Who? Hold it! Suddenly, Mama Lan's voice came from outside the door.

Su Yunlai and Su Zhan stopped the topic and walked out together, and saw Mama Lan standing outside with a blue face.

Su Yunlai asked, "Mama Lan, what's wrong?" ”

"Young master, miss, just now the slave saw a figure outside, and someone actually came to listen to us listening to the rain in the Xuan! It's so unruly! Mama Lan said with an ugly face.

Su Zhan looked at Su Yunlai: "You're really right, the fifth aunt hasn't stuffed people into my house yet, and someone can't hold it back, but this time it's the fourth aunt's person?" ”

Su Yunlai glanced at him in surprise, he didn't expect him to think of the fourth wife.

Su Zhan sneered: "Now that there is no eight characters, some people are worried about the wealth in the future!" So he did everything he could, even eavesdropping. ”

Su Yunlai didn't speak, but she felt that this matter was not necessarily done by the fourth wife, with the scheming of the fourth wife, she might not necessarily do such a straightforward thing as eavesdropping, I am afraid that some people will see that the fourth lady is now favored in front of the old lady, and they want to please them.

Mama Lan also said: "Now these people are getting more and more excessive! ”

Su Zhan looked at Mama Lan: "What, what else have they done?" ”

Mama Lan was a little speechless and stopped, she looked at Su Yunlai, then at Su Zhan, and then whispered: "Mrs. found out that someone had touched the letters exchanged with the master before, but Mrs. always thought that more things are better than less things, and those letters are just ordinary family letters, there is nothing that cannot be read, so there is no sound." ”

When Su Zhan heard this, he was furious: "How can this be true! Why didn't you say it earlier? ”

Mama Lan smiled abruptly, lowered her head and didn't dare to speak, with Chen's cowardly character, how could she make a noise about such a thing.

Su Zhan's eyes were cold and gloomy, his chest rose and fell, and his face turned red because of anger, Mama Lan was startled: "Young master, young master, don't scare me, you can dissipate your anger, but don't be angry!" My wife knows, I'm afraid I'm going to be in a hurry again! ”

Su Yunlai was also taken aback, Su Zhan trembled his hands, took out the pill he had been taking, and after eating it, his face was a little better.

Su Yunlai said anxiously: "Third brother, why do you bother with these things, if you hurt your body, or your mother is anxiously worried, you don't like them, just send them away." ”

Mama Lan said anxiously: "Miss, the relationship between these subordinates is complicated, I'm afraid it's not that easy, and I don't know who they are and who they are supported by, if they make a rash move, I'm afraid that our second room will have no place in the Su family." ”

Maybe Chen forgot that Mrs. Su is not the mother of the second master, but Mama Lan will not forget, she doesn't believe that someone will really treat other people's sons as their own flesh and blood, but Chen has always respected Mrs. Su, even Su Zhixun, so she didn't say much.

Su Yunlai nodded, with a look of indifference: "It's just a few subordinates, can you really let him climb to the head?" It's not a big deal. ”

Su Yunlai's indifferent look and relaxed tone, as if this was just an easy thing to do, Mama Lan couldn't help choking.

Mama Lan said: "This matter is not difficult to do, I don't even know who the eavesdropper is, and it is not easy to find out." ”

"It doesn't matter who eavesdropped, we just need to chop off the ears that dare to stick out, and it doesn't matter who listens." Su Yunlai said lightly.

Jun Yao looked at her girl with a look of adoration, and then said doggedly: "Miss must have a good way, if there is anything that needs to run errands, Miss will order the slave maid!" ”

The big girl Junyao loves to do the most is to help her young lady calculate people, she always feels that every time she does such a thing, she is very majestic and powerful, and only in this way can she prove that she is the right-hand man next to the young lady!

Hee-hee, there are some things that Miss only asks her to do!

Su Yun glanced at her, whispered a few words in her ear, Jun Yao's eyes were shining, and she nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, the slave will do it." ”

After Su Yunlai finished giving the order, Jun Yao hurried out of the courtyard.

Su Zhan glanced at Su Yunlai, and Su Yunlai smiled slightly: "No matter when, internal stability and unity are the most important. ”

Su Zhan: "......"

"Third brother, let's go in, we still have to think about giving the emperor a birthday gift." Su Yunlai said calmly: "Mama Lan is guarding outside, don't let others in." ”

"Yes, miss."

……

Jun Yao walked to the courtyard of the fifth lady after hearing Yuxuan, and at this time, the fifth wife was thinking about who to send to Su Zhan's study, when she heard the maid's report.

"Madam, Jun Yao beside Miss Seven asks to see you."

The fifth lady was surprised: "The maid of the seven girls came to see me?" ”

The fifth lady is busy now, and she really doesn't want to see a maid, but thinking that Mrs. Su has always been kind and lenient to the people in the second room, after thinking about it, she still ordered: "Let her in." ”

Jun Yao quickly walked in, "The slave maid greets the fifth wife." ”

The fifth wife's face was fine: "You are Ah Wan's maid, what is the matter with Ah Wan looking for me?" ”

"Fifth wife, the slave maid did come to find the fifth lady on the order of the young lady, but I am afraid that this matter is a bit serious......" Jun Yao said, glancing at the maid in the room.

The fifth lady was a little unhappy in her heart, but she still waved her hand to let people go down, and then Jun Yao said, "Fifth wife, you can save our young master!" After speaking, Jun Yao knelt down with red eyes and a plop.

The fifth lady was startled, "What the hell is going on, you tell me clearly!" ”

Jun Yao wiped the corners of her eyes, and then said: "Madam, our young master is a companion to His Royal Highness the eldest grandson, today His Royal Highness the eldest grandson asked the young master to bring back a letter, saying that it was for our young master to read it after he went home, and after our young master returned home, he went to Lingyun Courtyard to see the old lady, but when he returned to the study, the letter, the letter was actually gone!" ”

The fifth wife was stunned: "Gone?" ”

Jun Yao nodded: "Fifth wife, you also know that our young master is the safest person, it is impossible to lose the letter by himself, this letter is clearly stolen by someone!" Our young master hasn't read the contents of the letter yet, if His Royal Highness the eldest grandson asks, it will be difficult for our young master to explain! ”

"The third young master didn't want our wife to worry, and he didn't dare to tell the old lady, so he had to discuss with our young lady, and the young lady asked the slave maid to find the fifth wife, and begged the fifth lady to save our young master, and also save the Su family, slave maid, slave maid beg you!" Jun Yao burst into tears when she spoke, and after speaking, she respectfully kowtowed to Mrs. Five.

After hearing this, the fifth lady hurriedly asked, "Then do you know who may have stolen this letter?" The house is so big, there are many people, if there are no clues, I'm afraid it's not easy to find out. ”

Jun Yao's eyes flashed, "Fifth wife, you also know that no one else in our young master's study can enter, it must be someone from this mansion, and our young lady has also sent someone to check, but she has no clue, but our young lady said that the left and right are just people in this mansion, and what is stolen is not from the side, but from His Royal Highness the eldest grandson." ”

Who can be the person in this mansion who dares to worry and has the motive to worry about His Royal Highness the eldest grandson?

The fifth wife's eyes flashed, her eyes looked in the direction of the fourth wife's courtyard, and she secretly said in her heart, I am afraid that the people in the second room also guessed so, so they came to look for her.

The fifth lady smiled meaningfully, and she personally stepped forward to help Jun Yao: "I already know about this matter, you go back and tell Ah Wan, let her rest assured, this family is still in my charge now, our Su family can't tolerate such a thing of stealing chickens and dogs, I will definitely give her an explanation." ”

Jun Yao looked at the fifth wife with a grateful face: "Thank you, Mrs. Five, our young lady said that you have always been fair, and it is most reassuring for you to deal with her, so the slave and maid will retire first, and the young lady is still waiting for the news of the slave." ”

Mrs. Five smiled and bowed her head.

After Jun Yao left, the smile on the fifth wife's face faded, and a sneer hooked up at the corner of her mouth, she was still thinking about how to teach the fourth wife a lesson, so she sent it to the door!

"Someone's coming!" The fifth lady raised her voice.

Soon, the fifth wife's personal maid Xiangyin walked in, "Madam." ”

"You go and do something for me."

……

On this night, the whole Su Mansion was not very peaceful, the reason was that the second wife's room lost a jasper jade hairpin, this hairpin is not a vulgar thing, this is the second wife's grandfather Chen Fengxiang gave her a dowry, it is said that it is still something handed down in the palace.

However, it is not a glorious thing that there is a burglar in the house, so the fifth wife is very hidden when she investigates, but even so, there is a lot of rumor among the people.

The fourth lady also heard about it, but she didn't care about it, but instructed her maid: "Always pay attention to listen to the movements of Yuxuan, when the third young master goes out, when he comes back, and who he sees, he must report it." ”

The fourth wife thought about it, but she still felt uneasy, if the fifth wife was in the way, it would delay her son's future, and the most important thing now was to let Su Jie get the appreciation of the second prince.

Early the next morning, when Mrs. Fifth went to Lingyun Courtyard to ask for peace, Mrs. Su also asked about this matter.

"It was quite lively last night, but what happened?"

The fifth wife did not hide her, and directly told Su Zhan about losing the letter from His Royal Highness the eldest grandson.

"The daughter-in-law thought that this matter involved His Royal Highness the eldest grandson, and I was afraid that it would not be good to investigate it blatantly, so I had to say that the second sister-in-law lost the hairpin." Mrs. Fifth said respectfully: "When Ah Wan asked the girl to find me yesterday, I was also shocked, because it was too late and my mother was already resting, so I made my own decisions." ”

Like the fifth wife, Mrs. Su also thought that it was the fourth wife, after all, the only person in this house who could have a motive was the fourth wife, and Mrs. Su thought that the fourth lady couldn't trust her, and was in a hurry to pave the way for her son, so she made her own opinion.

This made Mrs. Su very dissatisfied, so she said with a cold face: "Our Su family's century-old reputation will never tolerate such a thing as stealing chickens and touching dogs!" Check, you have to check it out! ”

The fifth wife looked at her ugly face and quietly hooked the corners of her lips: "My daughter-in-law thinks the same thing, she must arrest that thief, and it will not tarnish the reputation of our Su family." ”

"Well, you can do it." Old Lady Su said coldly.

The subordinates of the Su family were also some panicked at this time, and there were many rumors.

In the side room is the place where the mother-in-law and maids rest.

"Have you heard, the third young master is very appreciated by His Royal Highness the eldest grandson, and he reads in the study every day until late at night!"

"What is this new, I heard that His Royal Highness the eldest grandson is now willing to discuss everything with the third young master, this time the emperor's birthday banquet is a birthday gift for the emperor, I heard that the third young master is helping to come up with ideas!"

Mrs. Li is in charge of the hot water in the second room in the Su Mansion, and when she heard this, she was interested, but she looked suspicious: "No, the third young master has only been to the Changsun Mansion for a few days, such an important matter, His Royal Highness the eldest grandson will discuss with him?" ”

"Hey, our third young master is a well-known prodigy, even His Royal Highness the eldest grandson has to take a look at it, what's impossible about this?!"

Mrs. Li didn't understand these bends, but she just felt that what the other party said made a little sense, she rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "I remember, Mrs. Chen said that she was looking for me to have something, so I will go back first, and you will talk first." ”

Mrs. Li said and left the side room, she was a little absent-minded, thinking about things, her niece Sanya was the second-class maid in the second lady Su Yunzhen's room, and the day before yesterday, Sanya came back to spread the word, saying that the fourth wife wanted to find someone to pay attention to the news between the third young master and His Royal Highness the eldest grandson, and if there was intelligence, there would be a reward.

Sanya also said that a few days ago, there was a Wang Mama because she heard the words of the third young master and the seventh lady, and the fourth lady rewarded her with fifty taels of silver!

Mrs. Li gave birth to three daughters, and finally got a son, who was like a life-saving child, but this son was addicted to gambling and owed a lot of money to the gambling house.

The fourth wife is well-known for her generosity in the house, if she can find something to give to the fourth wife, if she has fifty taels, she can pay off her son's gambling debts.

When she still asks for gambling debts in the future, she will marry a daughter-in-law for her son and take care of him, and he will not come nonsense in the future.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Li couldn't hold back the excitement in her heart anymore, and turned her head and walked towards Su Zhan's study.

Su Zhan's study is not allowed to enter on weekdays, and the third young master Su has a perverse quirk and is favored by Mrs. Su, so no one in the Su family dares to provoke Su Zhan, so that his study is only locked on weekdays, and no one dares to enter.

Mrs. Li quietly came to Su Zhan's study, saw that there was no one around, then took off the silver hairpin on her head, stabbed it twice in the keyhole, and only heard a crisp click, and the lock was opened.

Mrs. Li was overjoyed, so she quietly pushed open the door, and just as she was about to walk in, she reached out from behind and pressed a hand on her shoulder.

Mrs. Li turned her head in astonishment, and saw the eldest maid beside Mrs. Wu Xiangyin glaring at her angrily.

"Okay, you old slave, I finally caught you! Even the third young master's study dares to break in! Who gave you such guts? Let's go, go and show me the fifth wife, let the fifth wife decide! Xiang Yinqiao's face tightened, and she said angrily.

Mrs. Li's legs are weak, if her current behavior is known to the master, her errand will not be able to be saved, and if she is charged with theft, I am afraid that she will not even be able to save her life!
