On the nineteenth day of the lunar month, a heavy snow fell in the capital of the country, the snowflakes were as white as jade, like goose feathers, looking at it from afar, as if the world was silent.

Yu Wu'er stood under the corridor, looking in the direction of the courtyard gate, looking a little lonely.

Her lady had been standing here for a long time, and Liu Mei knew that she couldn't persuade her, so she had to go back to the room and get a cloak.

"Madam, the snow is getting heavier and heavier, and it's cold outside, let's go back." Liu Mei said as she carefully draped the cloak on her, and tied the strap lightly, a little distressed, but she still couldn't help but persuade.

Yu Wu'er still didn't move half a step, and she didn't know if she heard it.

After a long time, just when Liu Mei wanted to speak again, she finally moved.

Slowly lowered his head, only to hear her sigh-like voice come, "Liu Mei, the husband clearly said that he would come back, and didn't the emperor already make a decree, why the husband still hasn't come back now, I ......"

I've been waiting for him for a long time.

This...... Liu Mei didn't know what to say, she knew the situation of her wife these days, and when she first knew that the prince would come back, her wife was very happy, and she was always looking forward to the son coming back soon.

However, now that the New Year is coming in ten days, the prince still has no shadow, and his appetite is not very good these days, and he can't sleep well at night, and now he still has some dark circles under his eyes.

She also hopes that the prince will come back soon, if the prince doesn't come back, Mrs. can ......

"Madam, the prince said that he would come back, and he would definitely come back, maybe...... Maybe you'll get a good night's sleep tonight, and you'll be by your side tomorrow morning! ”

Liu Mei had no choice but to continue to coax her wife.

"Really?" Yu Wu'er knew in her heart that this was just Liu Mei comforting her.

Liu Mei nodded in distress. "Of course it's true, ma'am, how could a slave lie to you."

……

Just after lunch, someone outside came to report that Aunt Ling was here.

Yu Wu'er was stunned when she heard this, what did she come to do?

Liu Mei glanced at her wife, and asked silently if she wanted to let her in, Yu Wu'er thought about it and nodded in agreement.

asked the third brother to check the questions about those letters before, and the third brother didn't find out who wrote them in the end, but all the doubts pointed to Gong Lingrui.

Because there was no evidence, the matter was left somewhere, and no letter came back from it.

She's been staying in the house these days, and she hasn't had time to find her yet, what is she doing now? If there is nothing to do, she will go to the Three Treasures Palace, and Yu Wu'er will not mind speculating about her with the greatest malice.

Gong Lingrui came in with Qingliu, and as soon as she entered the door, Ying Ying saluted, smiling. "The concubine asked Mrs. to say goodbye, and the concubine heard a message and came to inform Mrs. on purpose."

Yu Wu'er's eyes moved, and she sat on the top seat, looking at her suspiciously. "What's the news?"

She could see that Gong Lingrui was indeed happy from the bottom of her heart, since the events of those letters, Yu Wu'er had always felt that she was a woman with a deep heart, and she would not easily have true emotions, today, what kind of good news could make her like this, could it be......

"Master Hou just sent someone to tell the concubine a piece of news, the prince will return the evening after tomorrow, and the concubine will hurry over to inform Madam as soon as she gets the news."

Gong Lingrui rarely didn't go around the bend with her, and directly said the point. As for why Hou Ye only told her but didn't tell Yu Wu'er, I don't know what this means.

However, Yu Wu'er didn't notice the hidden mystery in her words, she only heard that her husband was coming back the day after tomorrow!

That's great news for her!

If it weren't for Gong Lingrui in the house, she would have stood up excitedly, and despite trying to calm down, the light in her eyes still revealed her true mood.

"Thank you for letting me know."

Yu Wu'er nodded at her and thanked her.

"Madame and the concubine are polite, the concubine is seeing that Madame doesn't know how to eat these days and can't sleep, she really feels sorry for Madame, so she hurried over as soon as she got the news."

Gong Lingrui's words are sincere, and anyone seems to be concerned.

Aside from the news she brought, Yu Wu'er didn't believe what she said at all. After all, people who want to ruin her reputation with letters, even if they are just suspicious, she doesn't dare to take it lightly.

"Oh, by the way, madam, there is one more thing for the concubine to come over this time, and that is the matter of the steward's power."

Gong Lingrui said that at the end, the conversation changed and turned to another topic.

Yu Wu'er, who was trying to calm her mood, was even more puzzled when she heard this.

"Stewardship, how?"

The smile on Gong Lingrui's face deepened, and she only heard her say: "The right of this housekeeper should have belonged to Madame, but Mrs. Madame refused to accept it before, and now I think that Madame has changed her mind." The concubine is very willing to return the right of the housekeeper to the lady, and she can't wait to give it with both hands now, but after all, this matter still needs the son of the world to agree, so as soon as the son of the world comes back, the concubine will ask the son of the world to show her. ”

Hearing this, not only Yu Wu'er, but even the willow eyebrows on the side frowned in their hearts, before this Aunt Ling also relied on the power of this housekeeper to be powerful, and she valued it very much, how can she today-

However, no matter what she means, or what conspiracy she has, Yu Wu'er has to accept it, and it is also a good thing that she is willing to take the initiative to speak.

"I hope Aunt Ling is sincere, and the power of stewardship is the same in anyone's hands, but the rules have always been like this."

Yu Wu'er didn't refuse.

"Yes, rules are rules, they cannot be changed, and the concubine knows it. If the lady has nothing to order, then the concubine will retire first. ”

Yu Wu'er nodded slightly. "Liu Mei, send Aunt Ling."

"Yes, ma'am. Aunt Ling, please—"

Liu Mei stood up from behind Yu Wu'er and gave in.

……

"Miss Liumei, stay and send it here."

When he arrived outside the courtyard gate, Liu Mei was not ready to go any further, and he didn't say anything when he heard the words, so he turned around and went back.

Then I heard her words full of meaning.

"Miss Liumei, I listened to some broken words in the house a few days ago, which are about Madame, and those subordinates are saying that Madame has a wide range of friends and keeps communicating with people...... However, please rest assured, Madame, I have punished them severely, Madame never goes out except in the mansion and outside the seclusion temple, and I think it is just some chasing after the wind and shadows, making something out of nothing——"

When she said that, when she saw Liu Mei glaring at her angrily, she changed her words, that is, she would never believe that Madame was such a person.

Liu Mei's eyes grew cold, and she was already suspicious of her, but after hearing this today, she can be sure that she definitely did the matter about the envelope.

Every word Gong Lingrui just said was a heart-wrenching word, this was to ruin her wife's reputation and save her life!

"Aunt Ling, I hope you can remember your identity, a concubine must have the appearance of a concubine, even the concubine given by the emperor is just a concubine."

Liu Mei didn't want to argue with her about what she said, the more she talked about this kind of thing, the more chaotic it became, thinking of the news she had just revealed, she was already anxious, and she didn't want to say anything to her, so she went back after warning her.

Seeing the back of Liu Mei hurriedly going back, Gong Lingrui put away the smile that had been hanging on her face.

"Auntie, those letters are burned every time, and they never reply to the letters, even if there are any rumors, there is no real evidence, will the prince really believe it?"

Now Qing Liu, who was behind Gong Lingrui, said worriedly. What's more, the prince of the Marquis of Changning also intervened in this matter, although it was not resolved in the end, but ......

Gong Lingrui chuckled, "Who said that there are only rumors, there is no evidence, you forgot ...... when Mrs. replied to the letter?"

Qingliu thought secretly, is there any, she remembered that her wife never replied-

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, "Auntie, do you mean?" ”

Gong Lingrui glanced at her and said, "Yes, it's that letter, it's not difficult to find someone to imitate the handwriting." ”

"Madame is looking forward to the return of the son, and she must not have imagined that once the son returns, what awaits her will not be what is deep and righteous, but questions and anger——"

After Qing Liu said these words, he thought of something, and said worriedly: "But auntie, you just revealed this news to Liu Mei, if they take precautions, won't it be a failure?" ”

Not necessarily, it also requires them to have time, you know, the son of the world is not the day after tomorrow......

The time when Shizi will really come back is tomorrow, in case, if he misses his wife too much, so speed up, maybe he will come back tonight.

Will come back with a stack of affectionate letters—

……

I have to say that Gong Lingrui was in the palace in her early years, in the palace where she eats people and doesn't spit out bones, not only the concubine, but also the battle between the maid and the eunuch will not be easy to go anywhere, since she can become a fifth-grade female official in the palace at a young age, how can it be a fuel-efficient lamp.

I wanted to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix, fly on the branches and become a phoenix, but I didn't expect that six years ago, the emperor gave her to the prince of Wenhou as a concubine, which ruined her long-standing thoughts.

Although the prince of Wenhou is barely a royal prince, she originally looked at the palace, and the prince of Wenhou is just a martial artist, she doesn't like it at all.

Fortunately, after she entered the mansion, the prince of Wenhou gave her the right to be a housekeeper, and in addition, he didn't say a few words to her, and at first she thought that it would be okay if it was possible to become the wife of the prince, but he never touched her.

How can she be willing.

Fortunately, she has not gained nothing over the years, taking advantage of the housekeeper, she has accumulated a lot of wealth, and she can get out of this Hou Mansion with only one opportunity, so she should give the Hou Mansion a gift before leaving.

Regarding what Gong Lingrui said to Liu Mei, Yu Wu'er was indeed a little worried, but she didn't reply to the letter, and she burned all the letters she sent before, so there were only rumors that this matter was a little troublesome.

However, she believes in her husband.
