Chapter 145: Involvement
Old Madam Li looked at Li Yao in a daze, and her face sank a little.
Li Yao knew that she was out of shape, so she hurriedly covered the color in her eyes, knelt down in front of Old Madam Li, and said with tears in her eyes:
"Grandmother is most distressed about Yao'er, how can she be willing to marry Yao'er to Tongzhou? Yao'er isn't going anywhere...... Just at home guarding my father, brother and grandmother......"
Seeing this, Mrs. Li glanced at Grandma Sun, and Grandma Sun understood, stepped forward to help Li Yao, and said softly:
"What are the four girls talking about? The old lady naturally felt sorry for the girl...... Our Li family's old house is in Tongzhou, and it is only a hundred miles away from the capital, where can we marry far away? ”
"Besides, the old slave is also considered to be the same clan as this Sun Jun Shoujia, and I saw this Sun Gongzi when I went back to Tongzhou a few years ago, and he looks really good-looking, a talent!"
"You will marry in the future, and there are still relatives of our Li family in Tongzhou, so you will definitely not let the girl be wronged......"
As soon as Grandma Sun's words fell, she saw Li Yao's tears falling, and she raised her head and said:
"If it's so good, why didn't my grandmother ask the third sister to marry her? Or is it that in my grandmother's heart, I am close to my third sister......"
"Presumptuous!"
Old Madam Li didn't expect that Li Yao, who had always been polite, would openly contradict her, her face sank completely, and she said bluntly:
"Are you accusing me of being a grandmother for being eccentric?"
"Do you know what your reputation is in Beijing now? Which family dares to marry you as a clan wife! ”
"Although the official position of this Sun family is not high at the moment, I have asked someone to inquire about it, his family is also a scholarly family, and the official reputation of Sun County is excellent, and after two years, the Sun family may be able to enter Beijing to fight for a Beijing official......"
"Besides, that Sun Gongzi's qualifications are good, he understands the yuan at a young age, and his future is limitless......
"Grandmother!"
Li Yao interrupted Mrs. Li's words with tears,
"Yao'er is still young and doesn't want to marry early...... Ask grandmother not to persecute Yao'er......"
Old Madam Li gasped, pointed at Li Yao and said in a trembling voice:
"You say I'm persecuting you? ……”
"Good, good...... You're so hard-winged! I can't even listen to my grandmother! Go back to your yard...... I will also make it clear to your father another day, and you will let him take care of your marriage by himself, and I will never interfere again! ”
"Old lady!"
Xianglan saw that Old Madam Li was angry, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed:
"Old lady...... Our four girls are so young that we are really reluctant to leave home...... I beg your forgiveness, old lady, don't hurt your body by getting angry......"
Old Madam Li didn't want to say more to her, turned her head to look to the side, and waved her hand at their master and servant, telling them to stand down.
Li Yao bit her lip tightly, grabbed the wound in her hand and faintly oozing blood, and saw that Mama Sun exchanged glances with her, so she saluted Mrs. Li with Xianglan, and withdrew with a pale face.
Grandma Sun glanced at Li Yao's straight back, and said to Mrs. Li with some worry:
"Hey~ Slave maid, look, these four girls have really changed......"
Mrs. Li's face was pale with anger, and she couldn't help but remember that she had also mentioned marriage with Li Taiwei the month before, and Li Taiwei was willing to take care of the overall situation that day, and was willing to enter the East Palace for the rise and fall of the Li family.
With this comparison, Mrs. Li's heart suddenly became mixed, and she sighed:
"In the past, I looked at Sister Yao sensible, but in fact, she was like her mother in her heart, and she only cared about the gains and losses in front of her...... It's a ...... that can't be a climate."
Mama Sun responded shallowly, and added new tea to Mrs. Li......
……………………………………
In Qiwu Palace, the queen sat on the phoenix chair, looked at the palace maid kneeling on the ground, and said with a cold face:
"What? Don't have anything to say? ”
"There are so many palace people in Yaohua Palace, no one really sees how Xu Liangyuan threw himself into the well?"
The palace people below trembled so badly that Nuo Nuo didn't dare to make a sound.
The queen rubbed the swollen forehead, looked like Concubine Jin who was sitting silently on the side, frowned and said:
"You are the master of the first palace of Yaohua Palace, and something happened in your palace, what do you say about this?"
Concubine Jin got up and put one hand on the palace maid's arm, lifted the corner of her skirt and knelt down, and said in fear:
"The Queen's Mother...... This matter is all due to the poor discipline of the ministers and concubines, which caused such a big disaster......"
"Ask Niangniang to give the concubine some time, and the concubine will definitely give Niangniang an explanation......"
Concubine Lan picked her eyelids, glanced at Concubine Jin who was kneeling on the ground, and said in a slightly cool tone:
"Look at the concubine...... There is no one in Concubine Jin's sister's palace, and this Pei Zhaoyi did tricks and feet in the princess's soup, and she was originally going to Concubine Jin...... It is about Pei Zhaoyi's innocence and Xu Liangyuan's life, and Sister Jin should still avoid suspicion......"
Concubine Jin suddenly raised her eyes when she heard the voice, glared at Concubine Lan with a fierce face, and said coldly:
"Sister Lan, what do you mean by this? Are you afraid that this palace will frame Pei Zhaoyi! ”
"Lives are at stake! Now so many pairs of eyes are staring at Hongu...... This palace can still plant Pei Zhaoyi under the nose of the queen! ”
Concubine Lan sneered:
"I'm also thinking about Sister Jinfei, right now these two things are happening in my sister's Yaohua Palace one after another, these two people usually have a lot of whispers with my sister, it's hard to guarantee that others won't say that Sister Jinfei, you deliberately murdered you...... My sister is naturally a good ...... to pick herself out."
Concubine Jin's complexion was dark, and she was about to point at Concubine Lan to start talking, but she was stopped by the queen with a solemn face:
"That's it! Don't say a word...... In front of these palace people, do you still want the face of concubines! ”
When the two of them heard this, they turned their faces away, and they stopped talking angrily.
The queen told Concubine Jin to get up, then turned her face to look at Concubine Xiao Guifei, and said:
"The matter...... What does the concubine think? ”
Xiao Guifei took the tea and thought about it carefully before she said lightly:
"Queen Mother, the concubine thinks that Concubine Lan's sister is right...... Today's events happened one after another in Yaohua Palace, and Concubine Jin's sister is indeed suspected of being ineffective, if this matter is handed over to her for verification, I am afraid that it will be difficult to calm down the public......"
"Concubine Xiao! You! ……”
Concubine Jin glared at Concubine Xiao fiercely, but was glanced at by the queen in public, clutching her fingertips and not daring to make a sound again.
Concubine Xiao Guifei looked at Concubine Jin, who was a little less arrogant, and continued:
"But if this matter is handed over to the concubine next to me, I am afraid that Concubine Jin's sister will also be aggrieved...... According to the concubine, the queen might as well hand over this case to Dali Temple for thorough investigation, and it can be regarded as an explanation for both sides......"
As soon as these words came out, Concubine Jin's brows furrowed......
The daughter of Dali Temple, Chang Hai, has been married to the prince, and her friendship with the Duanjun palace for many years has finally become suspicious...... If this matter is handed over to Dali Temple, it will probably be unfavorable to her!
"The Queen's Mother......"
"Queen Qi, Concubine Xian has arrived."
Concubine Jin was about to speak, but was interrupted by the voice of the waiter outside.
"Concubine Xian is here?"
The queen was stunned for a moment and said:
"Please let her in......"
