Xu Yin looked innocent: This is the truth!

There are so many women in the harem, and they have to choose a partner for their children almost every year. The marriage of the prince and the princess is like a draft, don't investigate the girls and guys in the courtier's family who meet the conditions for marriage too clearly, don't you know who is superior and who is inferior after listening to more?

There are only a few princes and princesses, but the children of the courtiers' families are not old and young, and it is better to not eat meat and drink soup than to look for a mother-in-law for a younger brother and sister with a blank eye, right?

For example, the rake ear courtier's family is very good, the family has a single population, unlike some officials' families, and the frequent incidents of spoiling concubines and killing wives have led to miasma in the inner house. The most important thing is that fathers listen to their wives so much, and their sons are familiar with them, and they are not far behind, which is more suitable for honest and introverted sisters, and there is no trouble of fighting concubines in the past.

For example, the sister of the concubine, who is young and so beautiful, who is not good to marry, but she can't think of being one of the three thousand beauties of the emperor, and she disregards the survival of the family, and runs to the theater to guard the emperor without authorization, and is almost used as an assassin knife. For the sake of Xiu Concubine, and considering the complicated situation, the emperor did not implicate Xiu Concubine's clansmen in the end, nor did he arrest the crazy woman and send her to the water prison, but ordered her to be confined for three years and copy 10,000 volumes of scriptures.

If three years later, she is arranged by her family to marry, she who doesn't know about this matter may really become the unlucky pick-up man.

In this way, Xu Yin will go to the palace to live in the palace for two or three days every month when the queen is called, accompany the queen, concubine and other harem women to play cards, chat about skin care experience, and make them a spa by the way, of course, only the queen can make her do it herself.

In fact, she doesn't care, anyway, whoever she does is equally rewarded, and she has the right to earn part-time jobs as manual labor.

But the queen didn't allow it, probably because she was worried about the price drop.

Dignified ***, how can you share aromatherapists with other concubines! The best of the best must be for her alone.

Therefore, the concubine and other concubines invited her to sit in their dormitory after she finished sparing the queen, and pointed out whether their palace maid aromatherapy techniques were in place.

There are outputs, of course, there are also inputs, and after entering the palace a few times, she heard more gossip than she had heard in the Xue Mansion in the past year, and it can be seen that the harem women have a lot of eyeliner.

Of course, the melons that can be made public in front of her probably have nothing to do with themselves, and what really involves their own interests will not be taken out.

The next morning, the new daughter-in-law wanted to give tea to the ladies in the house, Xu Yin wrapped a decent red envelope, and went to Rong'an Courtyard with her mother-in-law after breakfast.

The second lady had already arrived with her new daughter-in-law, and when she saw Xu Yin, she enthusiastically introduced: "Ziyun, this is your cousin-in-law, you must have heard of your cousin-in-law's ability, and you will learn more from your cousin-in-law in the future." Oh yes, Yin Yin, are you going to enter the palace again? It's better to take Ziyun with you! You two will have a good idea."

Xu Yin's eyelids jumped when she heard this, but fortunately, her mother-in-law was powerful, and she refused on the spot:

"Yin Yin entered the palace because of the queen's mother's call, this palace is not like going out of the city to our own Zhuangzi, you can go if you want, you can take whoever you want, without the consent of the queen's mother, rashly take it, annoyed the mother, who will take this responsibility?"

The old lady was not old and confused, and when she heard the words, she hurriedly said, "The eldest daughter-in-law is right! Second daughter-in-law, you don't have bad ideas! How can you enter the palace and serve as casually as you think."

The second lady smiled, "I'll just talk about it."

"Don't say this kind of thing in the future."

「…… Yes."

I don't know if it was the episode that happened on the day of the tea ceremony that made the heroine of the original text feel that she had lost face, and after a few contacts, Xu Yin always felt that she was faintly hostile to herself.

But she is very busy, even if she doesn't enter the palace, the daily arrangements are also very fulfilling, if there are opinions, there are opinions, anyway, sooner or later the family will be separated, and if the family is separated, it will be two families, Xu Yin does not care about the feelings of people other than the family at all.

On this day, she went into the palace to play cards with the queen, and the melons she ate this time were related to the people's usury, and I heard that there was a rich man, and the loan forced two people to death.

"Three Cards and Three Belts!" The concubine played her cards neatly, and did not forget to continue, "Coincidentally, the wife of one of the deceased was the wife of the Dali Temple

Distant relatives will naturally be strictly investigated if they shout injustices to him."

"Three Nine Belts!" The queen snapped her cards and asked, "But what did your sister-in-law tell you?"

"Exactly!" The concubine smiled and said, "The concubine's two nephews and daughters-in-law have both given birth, both are male babies, and the family is happy, so they specially handed over a post to send some red eggs to the concubine."

The queen glanced at her with a smile, "I didn't see you bring a few red eggs here. This palace doesn't need it, but Yin Yin should eat a red egg to be happy, maybe the good news will come out soon."

"Oops! It's the negligence of the concubine!"

The concubine said with a smile, and then instructed the palace maid who was waiting beside her to quickly go back to the palace and get a basket of red eggs.

The reason why I didn't bring it when I came to play cards was because the queen never touched the food sent by the concubines, so she didn't have fun with herself.

So, when she left the palace on this day, Xu Yin had an extra basket of red eggs in her hand, and the concubine was really polite, and filled her with a basket.

Xu Yin looked up at the sky, it was about to enter June, there was no refrigerator and no air conditioner on this day, how to keep the eggs from breaking?

She returned home with this confusion in mind.

Xue Zhaojin went to the Four Princes' Mansion today, and it was rare that she didn't pick her up at the palace gate.

But not long after she got home, he also came back, and seeing his hurried steps and solemn expression, Xu Yin sighed in her heart: "But what happened?"

"Hmm." Xue Zhaojin held her hand and led her indoors, "Second aunt is afraid that she will cause trouble for the family."

He was originally just dragged by the four princes to discuss some things today, and overheard that the loan matter that Dali Siqing was strictly investigating seemed to implicate many families and courtiers, including the shadow of the Lu family.

He immediately sent someone to check whether the second aunt had anything to do with this matter, and the specific investigation was not yet visible, but when he returned home, he went to the account room of the public middle school to ask a few words, and by the way, he randomly checked the account books of the past two years, and the more he looked at it, the more wrong it became.

"All the accounts handled by the second aunt are relatively large. Especially since last summer, there has been almost no renovation in our East Courtyard, but there are several large expenses in the accounts, all of which are used for the renovation of the East Courtyard, and the person who handled it is the second aunt."

"She used the pretext of repairing our East Courtyard to fill her pockets, and she also took it out to lend money?"

"Most likely."

「……」

Xu Yin couldn't help but think of Wang Xifeng in the Dream of Red Mansions, and said that the second aunt's housekeeping ability was far inferior to Wang Xifeng, and this method of greedy for money was the same.

When she ate melons in the palace, she also felt emotional, embarrassed, and angry, but she never expected that this melon might have something to do with Xue Fu.

"If that's the case, then the second aunt is really bold!"
