Near noon, Zheng Shu, the housekeeper of the Yong'an County Palace, returned to the door of his house with a wagon of grain and cloth.

He got out of the carriage and did not let the contents of the carriage be moved, but hurried back to the house alone.

He bypassed the second hall, ran to the main inner courtyard, stood at the door and said a few words to the mother-in-law in the inner courtyard, the mother-in-law was shocked when she heard this, asked him to wait for a while, and then turned around and went back to the main inner courtyard.

After a while, the mother-in-law walked out quickly again and invited Zheng Shu into the inner courtyard.

"You make it clear, the little county lord doesn't accept it? So what do they eat and drink? She didn't know that she didn't even have a grain of rice in her house now, and she couldn't find a piece of cloth? Waiting to drink the northwest wind? Xiao Rui asked suspiciously.

Zheng Shu was also puzzled: "Back to the princess, the little one doesn't know, the little one hasn't entered the door today, and he was stopped by the maid next to the little county lord, saying that we don't have to send things to the Pingning County Mansion in the future, the Pingning County Mansion is enough, the little one asked a few more words, and the maid hurriedly returned to the house and said that there was something to do, I don't know what the little county lord thinks!" ”

Xiao Rui twisted her eyebrows and couldn't figure it out, remembering the scene in the past: "Didn't you say before, as soon as you arrived at the door, there were two mothers-in-law waiting, could it be that the little widow came back and brought a lot of food and silver, and didn't need our food and cloth?" ”

Although the food and cloth she gave were not good, they were enough for them to survive.

Zheng Shu shook his head: "I don't know about the little one, but the princess can ask the little county king, he should know why the Xiao family doesn't want our family's grain." ”

What he meant was that it might have been given by the little county king.

Xiao Rui raised her hand: "You don't have to let him know, listen to the prince of the county, don't let the people in the palace get close to the little county king, now that Yu Xiucheng is back, the life of our palace will be even more sad, I can think of ways to help them, it is already considered benevolent and righteous, as for she doesn't want it, forget it, the master of the horse is much more serious than our family, and it is good for us to have less to do with their family!" ”

Zheng Shu bowed down and said yes, and then withdrew.

After the people left, the mother-in-law walked up to Xiao Rui and asked: "Princess, the little princess is not as good as before, she must have seen that the eldest princess had a bad life, so she refused our help, and she must have hated us in her heart, you think about these old princesses living in the firewood room, and we still go to take care of them every day and pretend not to know, maybe the little princess still thinks that we are with Taishi He all the way, deliberately harming their family!" ”

They had long known that the eldest princess was forced by the two evil mothers-in-law to live in the firewood room, but so what, they couldn't speak, they could only help give some food, so that the two mothers-in-law could be better to the eldest princess and Xiao Biheng depending on where to eat.

"She can look at it however she wants, I'm not good enough for their family, their family has become like this now, it's all because of the eldest princess herself!" Xiao Rui snorted coldly and said: "Xiao Qing has been away from Beijing for six or seven years now, the county lord's affairs should be almost forgotten, she has just come back, abide by the rules, understand some etiquette, it is human nature, because she has grown up, not as splashed as when she was a child, but the nature of the country is easy to change, she is still that rustic little widow, what can she do?" Maybe the little silver tael on her body was given to her by Ah Xiang, wait and see, after only two days, she and her mother may come to the door to ask us for help, as the remnant of the crime, want to stay in Beijing, there is no backer, how can they stay? Could it be that she dared to go against Master He? ”

"Yes, what the princess said is that the eldest princess will still come to ask us for help like she did four years ago!" The mother-in-law said.

Xiao Rui pursed the corners of her mouth, thinking that things would end as she thought it would end, and she couldn't help but laugh.

……

In the evening, the mattress and belongings that Xiao Qing bought were placed in the former quiet courtyard, thinking that she could live comfortably with her mother and Pinzhu at night.

She hadn't gone to see Xiao Biheng yet, and asked Zhao Liumei during the day, where his father Xiao Biheng was imprisoned, and the changes in the family over the years, Zhao Liumei just didn't say anything.

Xiao Qing asked Pinzhu to look around in the yard when she was idle, Pinzhu searched all over the house, but she didn't find any trace of Xiao Biheng, it seemed that she was not in the house, she didn't want to force Zhao Liumei, so she could only wait patiently.

Now that Master He's people will report to him when they go back, they will inevitably send someone to find trouble again, and in the case of internal and external troubles, she wants to solve the external troubles first, and let Pinzhu keep an eye on the movements of the eldest princess to see if she can find Xiao Biheng. Then ask what happened over the years.

The next day, Xiao Qing was thinking about how to deal with Taishi He, and when he brought back the things that belonged to Xiao Xiaoqing's family, a few people came to the house.

A middle-aged man in the lead, wearing a crescent-white brocade robe, with a hairpin on his head, and his face was white and tender with fine noodles, like a ghost.

Xiao Qing can't understand the aesthetics of the ancients, this is obviously shaving cream on his face, his beard is shaved clean, and his face is not washed, what is so beautiful about this?

"I'm Hu Jin, the foreign affairs housekeeper of Master He's family, I heard that someone from the Pingning County Mansion who doesn't want to live, is that it?" Hu Jin pulled a long voice and asked arrogantly.

Xiao Qing listened to his piercing voice and felt that her eardrum was about to be punctured by her.

She plucked her ears: "It's me, what's wrong?" ”

"What's wrong?" Hu Jinba raised his voice and asked, "Do you know whose place you stepped into?" This is Taishi He's house, you broke into Taishi He's house and injured the person who injured Taishi He, and I will let you know the fate of provoking Taishi He today. ”

Xiao Qing was slightly surprised, this is obviously the palace of Pingning County, and it was the mansion given to the eldest princess by the first emperor back then, how did it become the mansion of Taishi He?

"You're wrong, this is the palace of Pingning County, the mansion of the eldest princess, when did it become the mansion of Taishi He?" Xiao Qing asked.

Hu Jin smiled proudly: "The eldest princess's mansion? That was six or seven years ago, this is already the house of Master He, it is the He family's things, you little woman know what! ”

Hu Jin was too lazy to talk nonsense with her: "Come on, take her down for me, I don't know what is alive or dead, I am blind, I can't tell who is the master, and I dare to live here and take a chance, I picked off her two layers of skin, I want to see her fine skin, and then make me a mask!" ”

"Yes!" The two thugs who followed him, looking very burly, listened to the order and stepped forward.

Xiao Qing glanced at the two strong men coldly, and his gaze returned to Hu Jin: "Hmph, I have heard that the Holy Lord is merciful and can't bear to attack his relatives, no matter what happened to the Pingning County Mansion and the Yongan County Mansion six or seven years ago, they will retain their titles and mansions, and no one is allowed to come to disturb them, how can He Taishi disobey the holy order and privately take the eldest princess's mansion for himself, you are not afraid of causing trouble to He Taishi when you say this?" ”

Hu Jin looked at her and looked at her from head to toe, but he didn't expect to know something and scare him with this?
