Chapter 272: The Sin of Treason (Part II)

Rong Hua has been in the side room, sitting and waiting for the old lady to wake up, and then go in to return to the old lady and let the imperial doctor enter the house to check the pulse.

The old lady looked at Rong Hua, "When did you come here?" I don't know? ”

Rong Hua smiled: "I just came." Seeing that the old lady was asleep, she talked with Mother Li outside for a while. ”

The old lady looked at the hourglass, "What time is it?" ”

Rong Hua said: "It's almost time, I think the old lady is about to wake up, so let the imperial doctor wait outside." ”

The old lady looked at Rong Hua with a smile, "When people are old, they just make people worry." ”

The old lady changed her clothes, and the imperial doctor diagnosed the pulse and went out to prescribe a prescription. Rong Hua got up to go out with him, and the old lady smiled: "Go and see, it's those few flavors of medicine over and over." ”

Rong Hua entered the outer room, Xue Yù had already instructed the little maid to prepare the pen and ink, and Rong Hua stepped forward to ask about the old lady's condition.

The imperial doctor pondered for a moment, and his face was deep, "I'm afraid it's not very good." ”

Rong Hua was shocked.

……

After the imperial doctor prescribed the prescription, Rong Hua handed the prescription to Xue Yiyi to grab the medicine and returned to the inner room.

The old lady was already half-lying on the chaise longue drinking weak tea.

Rong Hua said with a smile: "Now you have to take care of it, the imperial doctor said that the old lady can't bother too much, and she has to make some medicinal food on weekdays." ”

The old lady put down the teacup and smiled, "It's medicinal food again, I hate those things the most, I don't like to eat them." ”

Rong Hua said: "It's not just medicinal food, especially can't be greedy. ”

Mother Li asked the maid to remove the ice basin, "I'll just say it, the old lady won't listen, the colder it is, the more sick she is, and we don't use a lot of ice in our house every year." ”

The old lady deliberately lowered her face, "According to what you said, I am the caged bird, and I am restricted and unable to move everywhere." ”

Rong Hua stepped forward and said with a smile: "When the old lady's illness is cured, I will ask the family to take a hundred birds and release them to make the old lady happy." ”

The old lady laughed, "Why did I suffer and cheapen those birds?" ”

Rong Hua said: "It's not a bird, it's the merit of the old lady." ”

"You," the old lady took Rong Hua's hand, "and you have learned to make me happy." ”

Rong Hua and the old lady talked for a while before leaving, Mother Li sent Rong Hua out, and the two of them walked under the hall, and Rong Hua said in a low voice: "I can only work hard for my mother these days." ”

Mother Li frowned and looked worried, "What does the imperial doctor mean, old lady......"

Rong Hua said: "As long as you recuperate with peace of mind, there should be no big problem, but I am afraid of being overly worried." ”

Mother Li nodded, "Don't worry, young lady, I will be careful." ”

……

Rong Hua asked Mrs. Xue to say goodbye, went back to the courtyard for breakfast, just lay down on the chaise longue and rested for a while, Jinxiu listened to Jinxiu talking to people in a daze, and after listening to it for a while, the voice was too small and not real, and Rong Hua fell asleep again.

Jinxiu talked to Su Changjiu's family here, "Can people still be lost?" Maybe it's something to buy. ”

Su Changjiu's face said anxiously: "What does he have to buy, the work in the house can't be handed over to him, on weekdays, if the young lady orders to come back in the morning, who knows that there will be no news today, I asked Yougui to go out and look around and didn't find it, I don't know where the dead ghost went, so I came to ask the girl for an idea." ”

Jinxiu said: "I have no choice when my mother says this, otherwise I would send someone out to find it." "Saying that, look at the inner room," the young lady didn't sleep all night and rested for a while. ”

Su Changjiu's family hurriedly said: "I can't disturb the young lady, it's the fault of the dead ghost, I sent the imperial doctor but didn't return to the house to restore my life...... When he comes back, I will ask him to come and excuse the young lady. ”

Jinxiu said: "It's all a trivial matter, as long as nothing happens." ”

Su Changjiu's family said: "I'll go and let people look for it again." ”

Su Changjiu's family went to ask Su Yougui to take someone out of the house to find Su Changjiu.

Rong Hua slept for another hour before waking up, Jinxiu waited for Rong Hua to redress her makeup, and talked about Su Changchang's matter, "I don't know why I didn't come back." ”

Rong Hua raised her eyebrows in surprise, she had only decided to reuse Su Changjiu after careful consideration. Su has long been inferior to the subordinates of the family who are relied on by the master in the house, although he does small things on weekdays, he is not ambiguous, and he has no bad habits of gambling and drinking, he is also easy-going, and a little smart, he can do his things properly and never make mistakes, he is a powerful subordinate in her yard, "Have you asked people to find it?" ”

Jinxiu said: "I found it, but I went twice and didn't find it." ”

That's weird.

Rong Hua said: "Send a few more people out to find it, especially the places where Su Changjiu often goes, and spend some money to inquire." ”

Jinxiu went down to make arrangements, and after a while, he brought Su Changchang's family back and forth.

Su Changjiu's family knelt down when he saw Rong Hua and said: "I don't see a few of him who dare to turn around casually outside on weekdays, not to mention that he has to talk back to the young lady after sending the imperial doctor back," said the more he thought about it, the narrower his heart became, "It can't be that something happened outside......

Su Changjiujia wiped his tears with his sleeve.

Rong Hua frowned slightly, and raised his eyes to look at Su Changchang's family, "Don't worry, let people go to the imperial doctor's house to ask, see when Su Changjiu left, and whether he met others on the way." ”

Su Changjiujia swallowed his choked voice, "It's still the young lady who reminds me, I didn't expect it." ”

Who knew that in the afternoon, there was still no news of Su Changchang.

Jinxiu and several people were getting together to discuss countermeasures, Rong Hua came out of the inner room and looked at the green leaves outside the window, frowning, people can't just disappear in vain. Although the capital is large, there are only a few places that Su Changchang can go. I also found everything I could find in restaurants and gambling houses, and no matter how much I inquired, there was no news.

Isn't it...... Rong Hua's heart moved, and he called Chūn Yao, "Go find Gao Yue and come in, and say that I have something to bring to Hou Ye." ”

Chūn Yao went out, turned around and took Gao Yue into the courtyard with him.

Chūn Yao said: "Gao Yue has something to tell the young lady. ”

There was no screen, so Gao Yue entered the house, but he didn't dare to raise his head to look at Rong Hua, just stood in one place and hung his head and said: "Hou Ye asked people to bring back a letter, saying that Hou Ye led the troops to welcome the holy driver." ”

Just a few words, Rong Hua couldn't help but be surprised. Leading the troops to meet the holy car? It stands to reason that there is a formal charter for when the emperor will return to Kyoto, and it will generally be issued more than ten days in advance, and the capital will be arranged in a big way, and the holy driver will return to Beijing in a vast way, and I have never heard that people will suddenly lead troops to pick it up......

Since it was the Hou Ye who passed the word, there would never be anything wrong when he came back.

"When will Master Hou leave Beijing?"

Gao Yue shook his head, "I didn't make it clear in a hurry." ”

Then it should be to leave immediately, otherwise how could he pass the secret decree to Xue Mingrui at night. Since it is a secret order, I don't want too many people to know, and only a quick decision can I get the desired result.

The emperor may have to arrive in the capital earlier than anyone imagined. She originally wanted Xue Mingrui to help inquire in the yamen if there was anyone like Su Changjiu among the people arrested and imprisoned today. The most difficult place for Tibetans to inquire about is the prison of the Yamen, if Su Changjiu really committed something and was thrown into the prison, they would not find any results outside.

There is no wind and no làng, she always feels that this matter is not so simple. I hope her hunch is not accurate, and Su will return home for a long time.

……

"The young lady asked Su Changjiu to send the imperial doctor back, who knew that Su Changjiu didn't come back."

Listening to Ren's mother's words, Mrs. Xue's eyes widened and she laughed, "This is strange, can a good person still disappear out of thin air?" ”

Ren's mother copied her hands, "Didn't you just disappear out of thin air, the young lady is sending someone out to look for it." ”

Second Mrs. Xue looked at the nails she had just painted on Kodan, "She has only been married to the Xue family for a few days, and she has made a lot of trouble in the family, and now she has even lost a big living person, I think it is most likely that she used people improperly, so that Na Su took the silver money and drilled the gambling house." You must know that there are casinos in this capital that outsiders can't find. ”

Ren's mother smiled and said, "What I said is that the young lady knows these things at a young age." ”

"I don't have time to pay attention to her now, when the fourth lady gets married, I will naturally free up my hands and feet, where can I allow her to be like this," Second Mrs. Xue looked at the objects that Xue Mingwei needed to get married, and then handed them to Ren's mother, "You can also help me take a look and see if there is anything wrong." ”

Ren's mother took the list and saw that it was half less than the list she saw last time, and some of the items that were always available in the new house were also missing, "Isn't this too little?" ”

The corners of Mrs. Xue's mouth raised, and she said sarcastically: "Our second room is not better than a big room, where are there so many valuable things, and it is already my whole ladder to be able to get these for Minghao." ”

Whether this is true or false, Ren's mother couldn't be clearer. Even if the second wife was asked to prepare dozens of items on this list, the second wife would be able to get them. The second wife was still thinking about competing with the big house, but why did she suddenly change her mind and show weakness in front of others.

"If the old lady says that I can't overpower Mingrui, I will prepare these things, and I will also pass this list to Changningbo's Mansion, so that the Ren family can see our family's shabbyness, and also put some pressure on the Ren family. If the Ren family puts forward some conditions, it depends on how the old lady refuses. If the Ren family is willing to do this, they will definitely be afraid that Miss Four will marry and suffer, and all the items that Miss Four uses on weekdays must be fully prepared, and I can also save a lot of money from it. ”

Ren's mother was slightly surprised, she didn't expect the second wife to be so calculating.

Second Mrs. Xue's mouth turned up.

……

Ren Yanfeng's mood is exceptionally good. After months of preparation, tonight the victory or defeat is here.

Xue Mingrui had already set off to greet the holy driver. Now that there is only fù left in the Xue Mansion, it is really easy for Prince An to make a move tonight.

He wants to let the house prepare some wine and food, and hold the beautiful woman to enjoy tonight's moon sè.

I'm sorry, but there's something going on tonight...... I had to go out and socialize.
