Chapter 40: The world is turned upside down

"Miss, where was the boy just now?"

"He flew away from the window, it's good to have kung fu, he comes and goes freely and quietly."

"It's good if he's gone, Miss, what do you say about kung fu, I remember when I was a child, Xiangye said to find someone to teach Miss kung fu, and said to keep it for self-defense, Miss is something you don't want to learn."

The girl helped me extinguish the lights, helped me take off my night clothes, and pouted, why I have no impression of learning martial arts, shook my head, this kind of trivial matter is never worth thinking about for more than a quarter of an hour.

The girl waited outside, closed the door, I was thinking about how to break the marriage contract with the spirit king in the bathtub, I really didn't think of a good way, I couldn't think of it for a while, I simply didn't want to, and fell asleep after bathing.

Early the next morning, I heard that Youwang's Mansion was on fire last night and the treasury was burned, but because Youwang's Mansion had just been stolen, it was very guarded, so even if Wuji went to set fire in the middle of the night, he didn't take much advantage.

It's to my taste, I just casually suggested whether to burn down the Youwang Mansion, and he set a fire to the treasury in the middle of the night while there were few people.

When the housekeeper came to me, I was having breakfast.

"Miss, sir, please go to the front yard after breakfast, and the lord has something to discuss with you."

"Do you know what's going on?"

"The lord summoned the aunts and ladies in the backyard, saying that there was something to announce. So the old slave came and asked the young lady to come over. ”

"Oh?" I dragged out the last note, and vaguely guessed what was going on, the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion had just been cleaned a little bit, and it was about to start to smoke again.

"Does the lord have someone to invite the eldest lady?"

The old housekeeper was also a good person, shook his head and said, "Xiangye only ordered me to invite Miss You, and did not mention the eldest Miss." ”

"Then you go and tell Daddy, and I'll go over as soon as I change my clothes."

The butler happily got the order and left.

"Girl, I don't know when the man came back last night, so you went to someone to clean up a room and come out, he will go in when he comes back, I'll go to the front yard first." I drank the last mouthful of porridge and said to the girl beside me who had been worried all the time,

"Miss, forgive the slave and the maid for talking too much, Miss, how can you let a strange man live in your yard, if you let the Spirit King know, what will he think of you, Miss." The girl frowned worriedly, and said while cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks.

"Girl, if the spirit king and your young lady don't even have this trust, even if they are together in the future, even if they sleep in the same bed, they don't know how the person next to the pillow is calculating themselves, don't worry, I'll go to the front yard first."

The girl was thoughtful, a little understanding but as if she didn't understand, and watched me go out blankly.

When I came, there weren't many people in the yard, there was no eldest lady, and there was no Zhao Chunan, who was already dead. Aunt Liu took Rong'er to sit on the side, and the third aunt sat on the side, looking at the fewer people, it was right to think about it, a prime minister, how could it be just these aunts, it is estimated that Zhao Chunan has been too strict in managing the master's back house in recent years.

"Daddy, why didn't you see your eldest sister?"

He smiled, and he didn't hide his behavior at all.

"Qianmo is here, since you want your eldest sister to come, then I'll let Changsheng call her."

"Well, it's good that the eldest sister and we are still a family."

The three words of family made the smile on Xiangye's face tear for a moment, it was this dullness that made me feel a pain between my eyebrows, and it was really as I guessed, Nian Huairou was not his daughter, I know, and he himself knows.

Xiangye didn't doubt why Huairou didn't look like himself, nor like Zhao Chunan, thinking about it carefully, there was the shadow of Zhou Yuan in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.

Then Zhao Chunan should have died at his hands.

The filthy things in the backyard of the deep house made people feel like they were in an ice cellar, shivering with cold.

The petite and graceful figure slowly moved into the front yard, without any decoration in the hair, and was dressed in a white plain clothes, which made people look pitiful.

Li Changsheng looked at the ground with his eyes and nose, and retreated respectfully.

It's twenty-eight today, and it's her birthday in a few days, it is estimated that this is the most bleak birthday in the seventeen spring and autumn seasons she has lived, her life has become upside down in these few days, and Zhou Yuan's gift, I think of Zhou Yuan, I have to go to Zhang Lin to hear about Zhou Yuan's recent situation.

"Alright, now that everyone is here, I will announce two important things." Xiangye cleared his throat and stood up, and the momentum that would only appear in the court was released by him at this moment.

With a calculating gaze, he swept the big family in the front yard.

"First thing: From now on, the back house of the Prime Minister's Mansion will be in charge of the second lady Yan Qinliu. The second thing is that the prime minister has a woman in love in the suburbs of Beijing, and he will be sent to live in the house tomorrow, and he will live in the Qingyi Courtyard. ”

The most surprising thing was Nian Huairou, she thought that Xiangye called her over to tell her who the murderer of her mother was, but she never thought that these two things were extremely unfavorable to her.

I lost the protection of my mother, and now I gave the power to the second aunt, I still remember that I bullied Rong'er in the past, and the second aunt will definitely deduct her own food and clothing.

Besides, is her mother so inexplicable?

"Thank you, master, but the concubine is only willing to accompany Rong'er to grow up in the Hidden Moon Xuan, and she doesn't dare to think about the power of the Nian Mansion."

I frowned slightly, and said lightly: "Second aunt, don't shirk, my father and I both want you to manage it, I believe that the second lady's scholarly family will be able to help your father manage the backyard." ”

Before the master could speak, Nian Huairou bumped straight into the body of the third aunt who had just had a miscarriage, and the already weak body of the third aunt fell to the ground, and she didn't even have time to support the girl.

Nian Huairou knelt down in front of Xiangye regardless of the occasion, and asked regardless of the occasion: "Dare to ask Daddy before that he asked Miss Yan to check the matter of her mother's parents, how is the investigation now?" ”

Nian Huairou's self-righteous words made Xiang Ye angry with the woman who had died, that person had brought him a green hat for so many years, you are just a wild seed, so he threw a palm on Nian Huairou's already pale face mercilessly, and the strength was so great that it resounded throughout the front hall.

"There is no dignity and humility, but you bumped into the third aunt but didn't apologize, and you are still shouting here, didn't your mother teach you etiquette and honesty before she died?"

"Come on, butler, enclose the eldest lady in Yijing Pavilion until the emperor decides on the date of marriage."

Because of this trouble, no one mentioned the second aunt's taking power, and even the second aunt herself thanked the master by default.

The slap that Xiangye gave to Nian Huairou just now suddenly reminded me of my previous life, the nightmares I hadn't remembered for nearly half a month.

Why can't I remember those things, I guess it's because of the medicine given by Da Mingzi, I usually can't think of it, and I will break out at that moment.

I shuddered a little, and looked at the delicate flowers in the garden around me, and the sun was already shining overhead, forming a dappled shadow under the trees.

"Girl, you go to this place to find a person named Zhang Lin, saying that the young lady in the casino last time had something to do with him."

"Yes, miss, what did Xiangye say in the front yard today?"

"In the future, this Xiangye's Mansion will be in charge of the second aunt, remember to call Mrs. Liu when you see it in the future, don't call Aunt Liu anymore."

"The slave knows, I see that Miss has no appetite recently, and I want to wait for Miss in the courtyard, so I will let Xiao Zhi go and buy crispy duck for Miss you. I guess I'll be back soon. When she comes back, I'll go find the person you just mentioned, Miss. The girl gently pinched my shoulders and chattered like beans.

"Well, it's still your sweetheartness, I don't know who will be blessed to marry you in the future." I sneered and laughed lowly, looking at the blushing girl in amusement.

"Miss, I thought about it, if you marry into the Spirit King's Mansion, I will go with you, I will not marry."

"How?" I pressed her hand, motioned for her to stop, and pulled her in front of me.

She blushed and didn't speak.

"There is no one else in the courtyard, you have something to say to me."

She didn't take long to say what was in her heart: "The slave maid heard Brother Sheng say the day before yesterday that the Xiangye was about to take the aunt from the other courtyard back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the slave maid thought that it was normal for the Xiangye to have these three wives and four concubines in a high position, and Brother Sheng said that where there are many women, there are many rights and wrongs, and I am reluctant to let Miss marry you alone to the Lingwang Mansion." Although King Ling is not valued by the emperor, he is a prince anyway, although Miss you are married to be a princess, but you will inevitably have to work step by step, I am reluctant to Miss You suffer there alone. ”

She said so many words in one breath, she blushed and lowered her head to see the huge waves in my heart, and the air overflowing in my chest seemed to be about to erupt immediately.

This lovely person, I was sorry for you in my last life, but I will protect you well in this life.

"Then your biological brother is willing to let you go with me?" I said it deliberately frivolously, but I heard a choking in my voice.

"Brother Sheng said listen to me."

"Come," I beckoned her to my side and said softly, "even if you leave with me, I will find a way to let you be with my brother in the future, and since you follow me, I will definitely take your life's affairs to heart." However, "

When I was about to speak, I saw Xiao Zhi coming back with a crispy duck from a distance, I wiped the abnormal face on my face, and said to the girl: "Go find Zhang Lin quickly, bring him to the courtyard, I have something to ask him." ”

Maybe that Zhou Yuan didn't necessarily know that Zhao Chunan was dead, after all, this was a matter in Xiangye's mansion, and the corpses were simply buried, I think Xiangye didn't throw the corpse to the mass grave because he took care of his feelings for many years.

However, Zhou Yuan has been raised by Zhao Chunan for all these years, not only has he been infected with the vice of gambling, but he should also be a pampered master.

Zhang Lin saw that the girl brought him into the inner courtyard of the deep house, and his heart may have been a little trembling and drumming, yes, the first thing he saw me was to kneel down and say: "Miss forgiveness, Miss forgiveness, Uncle Zhou Yuan died last night, I don't know where Miss lives, so I didn't come to tell you, Miss forgive me." ”

The hot tea I drank in my throat immediately spit out without any image, and years of etiquette made me forget to clean it at the moment.
