The old lady of the ninth room of the Yu clan has indeed been sick these days, but she is actually scared of illness.

On the day of Yu Chenyang's father and son's execution, after the old lady asked a few words, she fainted in fright and lay on the bed from then on.

The relationship between the old lady of the ninth room and Mrs. Yu is not bad, at least among the old ladies, the old lady of the ninth room has the best relationship with Mrs. Yu, and she usually gets some benefits from Mrs. Yu, helping to run errands, doing some things, helping the clan spread the word and so on.

In the matter of Yu Lanyan before, the old lady of the ninth room secretly helped Mrs. Yu to contact the clan, and even several clan elders helped Yu Lanyan speak before, and she also mediated in secret.

Mrs. Yu needed someone to help her contact in the Yu family, and the old lady of the ninth room came over as early as when Mrs. Yu had just entered Beijing, but it was just right.

For so many years, the old lady of the ninth room and Mrs. Yu have the best relationship.

Yu Xijiao's carriage stopped outside the courtyard of the ninth room, this room is far away from the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, and it is already a side branch, but it is okay to live, it is a large courtyard with two entrances that is transparent from north to south.

I heard that it was the third girl from the Xuanping Hou Mansion, and the little girl on the door hurriedly went in to report, and after a while, the daughter-in-law of the old lady in the ninth room hurriedly went out to greet her.

"Why did Miss Yu come over today?"

"I heard that the ninth grandmother was sick, and I happened to be passing by, so I came to take a look." Yu Xijiao said softly, Mingyue stepped forward with a gift box, and bought it on the way.

"The third girl is too polite, she came here, why did she bring something over." The old lady's daughter-in-law smiled and asked Yahuan to lead her inside after receiving the gift.

When the old lady of the ninth room heard that Yu Xijiao was coming, she was also stunned, this third girl is different from ordinary Yu women, not to mention her noble status, she will still be the princess of King Qi in the future.

Yu Xijiao came in and saluted the old lady in the ninth room, and the old lady sat up and hurriedly brought tea.

"Is Grandmother Nine feeling better?" Yu Xijiao took a sip of tea and put it down, and asked with a smile.

"When you're old, it's all old-fault." The old lady sighed and leaned feebly on the cushion behind her.

"Grandmother Jiu's body is not too old, she should be fine, I went to see Mrs. Yu today, and she is fine." Yu Xijiao smiled and looked at the old lady's face, which was actually not as bad as she imagined.

"Let's all get busy, don't stand all up, it's uncomfortable." After the old lady was slightly stunned, she looked at her daughter-in-law and began to drive people away.

The old lady's daughter-in-law actually preferred to stay and talk to this third girl Yu more, stammering, looking at this person's appearance, she knew that there was a future, but when the old lady spoke, she didn't dare to refuse, so she could only leave with someone.

When the idle people went out, the old lady asked in a slightly trembling voice, "Mrs. Tai...... She...... Is she okay? ”

"Grandmother Nine sent someone before, but she didn't see Mrs. Yu?" Yu Xijiao asked with a smile.

The old lady shuddered, and then looked at the mother-in-law beside her.

The mother-in-law's face immediately turned pale, and she trembled a little.

"Who sent by the Nine Grandmothers?" Yu Xijiao didn't seem to see the abnormality of the master and servant, and continued to ask with a smile, "Dali Temple said that he would leave after taking the food basket, and he didn't leave a word. ”

"I'm ......," the old lady turned pale and her eyes became flustered.

"Can't the Ninth Grandmother say it?" Yu Xijiao asked with a smile, her eyes were deep and inexplicable, and in this dim room, it was inexplicably terrifying.

"I ...... I'm not ......" The old lady stammered, seeing that Yu Xijiao was as calm as ever, the old lady was really anxious, gritted her teeth, didn't care about anything else, and said quickly: "I didn't send it, it's ...... It's the one who borrowed me. ”

"Didn't the Ninth Grandmother send it?" Yu Xijiao was surprised.

"No...... the old lady looked at the mother-in-law on the side and said directly, "Just ask her!" ”

Yu Xijiao looked at her mother-in-law, before she came, she just guessed that it was very likely that it had something to do with the ninth grandmother, but now it seems that she really found the right one.

With a "plop", the mother-in-law couldn't stand anymore and hurriedly knelt down, "Third girl, is it...... Someone asked our old lady to help deliver it. ”

"Who asked your old lady for help?"

"Yes...... Be...... People paid for it, and asked our old lady to help send a food basket to Mrs. Yu, saying that Mrs. Yu was kind to her master back then, and let the old slave go, just send a food basket, and nothing else, and then the old slave went to carry the food basket back. ”

The mother-in-law gritted her teeth and said everything.

"Give money?" This answer is actually not surprising, since someone secretly sent a message to Mrs. Yu, she didn't want people to find out.

"Yes...... Yes. ”

The old lady in the ninth room was bent on settling with Mrs. Yu at the beginning, and helped Mrs. Yu contact the Yu family, but it was just for some benefits, and now it is nothing for everyone to send a food basket for some benefits.

"Has Grandmother Nine checked who it is?" Yu Xijiao was silent for a while, and then asked the old lady again.

The old lady shook her head, stretched out her finger and pointed at her mother-in-law, and said vaguely: "The person is still met by her, saying that she is helping to send it, she didn't dare to hide it, so she reported to me, I thought about the Li family...... When I was there, I still wanted to be ...... I agreed. ”

"Ninth Grandmother, at that time, you dared to agree to this kind of thing, so you weren't afraid that it would affect you?" Yu Xijiao asked coldly.

The old lady was taken aback and hurriedly defended: "Say...... said that it would be fine, we are all members of the Yu family, and we just sent a food basket, and we didn't meet, even if we were murderers, we also sent a meal at the execution ground. ”

There were a lot of silver tickets given, just to do such a thing, the old lady agreed although she was afraid, and the other party also made it clear, just send a food basket and then take the food basket back.

"What the Ninth Grandmother said is extremely true, but has the Ninth Grandmother ever thought that if something happened to the Li family...... Will the Nine Grandmothers be able to escape? Yu Xijiao asked with a smile.

The old lady's face changed drastically, "I...... I didn't think ......"

At that time, I saw the money, so much money, just to send a food basket, really not a loss, and then the food basket was withdrawn, the master and servant also came back to taste, the old lady was so frightened that her condition worsened, and she was not scared to death.

"The Ninth Grandmother didn't expect this at the time, and the people in the Yamen may not have thought of it for the time being, but if there is anything in the future and finds out about the Ninth Grandmother, the Ninth Grandmother still doesn't know, I'm afraid it's not easy to explain." Yu Xijiao sighed lightly.

"Delivery...... Explain what? "The old lady really panicked.

"I don't know, when I went to Dali Temple today, I asked a lot of questions, and I talked about the nine grandmothers sending food baskets...... Maybe I will find the ninth grandmother to go to Dali Temple and ask in person. Yu Xijiao shook her head.

The old lady leaned back in fright, and her eyes glared out: "I...... I don't know, I don't know anything. ”

Yu Xijiao comforted her and said: "I also said so, it should have nothing to do with the ninth grandmother, Dali Temple will not look for the ninth grandmother for the time being, but this matter is what I helped the ninth grandmother say, I really don't worry, so I came over and asked a few more words, the ninth grandmother really can't think of who let the mother-in-law send the food basket?" ”

"I ......," the old lady shook her head.

Yu Xijiao smiled: "Ninth grandmother, think about it again, or...... Make your people think again? ”

After speaking, he looked at the mother-in-law who fell to the ground in fright.

"You...... Didn't pay attention to anything? The old lady really didn't find anything, so she glared at her last time and asked her mother-in-law, "I told people to be careful at that time, and it was better to pay more attention, but you really didn't find anything?" ”

"The mother-in-law left after giving the food basket to the old slave, and then agreed to take it away, but the old slave really didn't see anything." The mother-in-law said in a panic.

"Is it from the capital?" Yu Xijiao asked gently.

"Yes...... No...... No. After the mother-in-law answered affirmatively, she hesitated, and then hurriedly explained, "I spoke the words of the capital, but the old slave always felt that there was an accent, and it didn't sound like a pure Beijing person...... Resemble...... It seems that someone from other places came to the capital, but lived in the capital for a while. ”

"It sounds like the accent of the capital, but it sounds like it's a little not, and I faintly feel a slight deviation, if I listen to it again, I think it's so?"

Yu Xijiao analyzed.

The mother-in-law repeatedly: "Yes, yes, that's what it means." ”

She couldn't explain it clearly, but fortunately, what Yu Xijiao said was clear, and it was even if she sorted out some guesses, but she looked calmer than before, and after thinking about it, she said: "The old slave thinks that the identity of this mother-in-law is not ordinary, and the material on her body is excellent, although it is also an ordinary mother-in-law." ”

"How is it better than the mother-in-law in our house?" Mingyue asked, her eyes rolling.

"Yes, it's similar to the housekeeper of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, and this clothing is not what people like us should wear." The mother-in-law said repeatedly.

is also a subordinate, the clothes worn by the subordinates of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion are better, this mother-in-law is the person next to the old lady of the ninth room, and she is the most caring person, but the clothes are far inferior to the housekeeper of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion.

Even if it's just a subordinate, it's also divided into three, six, nine, and so on.

"Haven't seen it before?" Yu Xijiao asked.

"I haven't seen it, I certainly haven't seen it." The mother-in-law hurriedly shook her head.

"Is the accent okay?" Yu Xijiao continued to ask.

"No problem, the old slave won't understand, the old slave is the most capable in this regard, a maid has stayed in the capital for two years before, and said that she grew up in the capital since she was a child, and the old slave found it out for the old lady." The mother-in-law patted her chest and said, it can be seen that this is where she is proud, she is not ambiguous at all, and she looks much bolder than Fang Cai.

The identity of that master is not ordinary, at least it is equivalent to the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, or even better, and he is also a person who came from outside the capital, or can be said to have returned, and can find the old lady of the ninth room so quickly, it can be seen that he also understands the Yu family, or pays more attention to the Yu family.

may even have some dealings with the Yu family.

So who is this person? Why did he secretly send news to Mrs. Yu, what did he ask Mrs. Yu about? In this case, Mrs. Yu now wishes that something would happen to everyone, and it is best to bury her son with her, presumably there must be something to say, and she may even take the initiative to expose some of her secrets!

Now Mrs. Yu is just waiting for death, and the money is useless, I am afraid that there is only one obsession now......

Zhuangzi outside the city? That place could be real......
