At the same time, outside the torture room, a woman wearing a silk brocade dress with a peony pattern and a heavenly fragrance bun suddenly walked quietly, she described herself haggard, her cheeks were deeply sunken, and only the eyes that remained of her youthful demeanor showed a little joy to see her relatives. As soon as Concubine Dou saw her, she immediately stood up and stretched out her hands to greet her: "Sister, didn't you say that you were recuperating, why did you come here?" ”

The person who came was Dou Shi, who was sick in bed and couldn't meet her, her eyes turned around the faces of everyone in the room, first saluted the old lady, and then took Dou Guifei's hand, showing a tired smile after a long illness: "Exactly." I heard that the general said that you are not very happy, let me accompany you. ”

As soon as Dou came, the previous tense and tragic atmosphere was diluted a lot, and Dou Guifei took Dou's hand and sat on it together. Dou Shi seemed to come prepared, and when he saw Wen Yukou being beaten so that he couldn't open his eyes, he suddenly showed a sad and lamented look: "What is my sister doing, a good child is like this, if it is heavy, what will I do in the future?" The general is very distressed, let me persuade you, for my sake, spare the eldest lady. ”

Dou Guifei said: "I'll talk about this later." Sister, since you married into the Wen Mansion, you haven't had a good day, be cautious, take care of this big family's affairs, just like this, there are still people who are secretly dissatisfied, and they are against you everywhere, and I am anxious for you in the palace. You gave birth to the smart and delicate Yulan, helped General Wen to assist Wen Fu, clean up the mess of the so-called sister, and raise her pair of children, how much effort did you waste, how many days and nights did you stay up? Even if some people's hearts are made of stone, it is time to warm them up. ”

She paused slightly, and Dou took over the conversation, and sighed slightly: "Sister, don't say this." I am accompanied by Yulan in the Wen Mansion, the old lady is protected, and the general is also raising eyebrows with me, and I am willing to do this. Although things have not been going well recently, my sister is here, and my heart is happy, so I have nothing to ask for and nothing to complain about. As he spoke, tears appeared in his eyes, and Wen Yulan stepped forward to hug Dou, as if he was extremely distressed: "Mother, my heart is broken when you say it." ”

Dou Guifei also accompanied and comforted for a while, and then turned around, raising two curved thin eyebrows: "Old lady Wen, my sister is dedicated to the Wen Mansion, even if she suffers, she will say good things." She and Yulan are kind-hearted, but I'm not so easy to fool. I heard that you stepped down from my sister's position and let the people in the second room take the palm print? ”

Mrs. Wen hurriedly said: "Mrs. Dou needs to recuperate, temporarily hand over the seal to my second daughter-in-law, and in the future, when Mrs. Dou recovers, she will still return it to her hands......

"Who is the Xie family, come to the front and I'll take a look." Dou Guifei said coldly.

Xie's palms were sweating, he didn't dare to pause, he hurriedly walked to him, bent down and saluted: "Back to the concubine Niangniang, Xie is here." ”

Concubine Dou Guifei saw that she was gentle and her face was quite kind, but she still couldn't hide the calculation and disguise in her eyes - her heart suddenly became bored: "Since you have taken the palm print on behalf of my sister, your ability must be extraordinary, but you should tell me what you have done for this provincial family." ”

Fortunately, Xie Shi knew that Dou Guifei was not easy to deal with, and she had already made plans before, and she did not seem hasty to answer at this time. Answer them one by one, such as the butterfly wing shadow wall, the royal view of the flowers, and the attic...... Every single one of them is beautiful, perfectly impossible to pick, and because of the effective advice given by Wen Yukou, it is actually very suitable for Dou Guifei's preferences.

But Dou Guifei can never be satisfied, even if these have been perfected, she still has a tendency to pick bones in the egg, and she is very dissatisfied with the short tenure of several eldest ladies arranged by the Xie family: "There are more than 100 official eunuchs in the capital, who will let their young ladies do what their subordinates do?" My sister worked so hard to raise the children in each room, but you ruined it overnight. Besides, except for Yulan's qin, I am not satisfied with everyone else. Especially Miss Wen of Ren Fengyu! ”

Dou Guifei turned her words to Wen Yukou again, and in the face of the sharp gaze, the expression on Wen Yukou's face could be called indifferent. is different from the arrogance that Dou Guifei has cultivated from her bones, Wen Yukou prefers to respond to changes without moving. So even if her face was swollen like that, she didn't mind at all.

What is the pain of flesh and skin, she believes that this is just the beginning, and what Dou Guifei will do after that is the real punishment.

Sure enough, I heard that Dou Shi began to gasp again and again, shook his head and sighed, and said to the palpitating old lady: "Don't worry, old lady, I will persuade the concubine well, the eldest lady must be fine." Looking at Dou's gentle and comforting smile, a strange feeling suddenly floated in the old lady's heart, as if she had never known her eldest daughter-in-law.

In the face of the arrogant and arrogant Dou Guifei, the Dou family is like a sister, ordinary and intimate; In the face of the people of the Wen Mansion who were suppressed and ravaged by Dou Guifei, the Dou family was also able to keep his face unchanged, and he still had the calm appearance of the wife in charge. What is she alluding to?

In the past, the Dou family had never used Dou Guifei to suppress the Wen Mansion, and had been working hard and complaining, if it weren't for the fact that Dou Guifei had set off a few times this time and created a lot of momentum, Wen Lao Taijun almost forgot that behind the Dou family, there was a figure that their Wen family could not provoke. As long as Dou Guifei occupies the harem as a favorite concubine and is favored one day, they should be afraid of Wenfu, otherwise their children and grandchildren may be punished at will at any time, so as to achieve the effect of knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger.

Old Taijun Wen sat upright in her seat, her heart was anxious, and she reluctantly nodded at Dou. Dou Shi also smiled, and glanced at Wen Yulan, Wen Yulan quietly came to Mrs. Wen's side and helped her massage her shoulders: "Old Taijun, what my mother promised, I will definitely do it, don't worry, I believe that the eldest sister will be able to free herself soon." ”

Mrs. Wen pressed her hand: "That's the best." "Where does Wen Yulan know what Old Lady Wen is thinking......

Dou really persuaded Dou Guifei a few words, Dou Guifei put down the tea in her hand, smiled as if she understood, and asked, "How many slaps have you received in twenty years?" ”

The palace maid replied, "The ninth." ”

"There's no need for the rest, my sister can't see such a bloody scene, go get some water and wipe Miss Wen's face." Dou Guifei said lazily. The subordinate fetched water and wiped Wen Yukou's face, eliminating the blood stains and blood stains, revealing the true face after being beaten. Wen Yukou reached out and took an ice towel for herself and pressed it on her face.

A cold light flashed in Concubine Dou's eyes, and she said: "Miss Wen has never taken my Dou family's people in her eyes, she is arrogant and presumptuous, and she has made trouble several times, and this time she actually deliberately used tea to defile the provincial gold clothes that the Holy Lord rewarded me. According to the law of Datan, Miss Wen should be guilty of losing her life, but the law of the country and family affection put me in a dilemma, no matter what, pity the hearts of parents in the world, I am not such an unreasonable person. Thinking of the old lady and my sister's hard work, only Miss Wen did one thing, and this article was revealed. ”

Seeing her relieved, Mrs. Wen hurriedly said: "As long as the concubine is angry, it is worth it to do whatever the girl does." ”

Wen Yukou also raised her head and saw the true intention in Dou Guifei's eyes, and the fog in her heart gradually darkened and swept in. She put down the towel and had a premonition that it was not good.

Dou Guifei smiled: "My sister treats you as her own, she has raised you for so many years, and it is not an exaggeration to call her a mother." ”
