"At this moment, the old lady is in the house, except for the second wife and the second young grandmother, there is no one else to serve. Even the silver heron was guarding outside. Danzhi brought back such news. After a pause, he heard Danzhi continue: "Yinlu found an opportunity to quietly tell me that the old lady looks like she is very angry. Let the princess be careful. ”

Gu Wanyin nodded, but she already had a judgment in her heart. Come to think of it, I'm afraid that the second wife will take this opportunity to say a lot of bad things about her, right? Moreover, she felt that the second wife would never let go of such an opportunity to take back the power of the housekeeper. It's not profitable, and the second wife has always been like this. Not only the second wife, but with Gu Yingyin's hatred of her, she would never let go of this opportunity easily.

"Go and ask the third lady to come over." Gu Wanyin commanded in a deep voice, but she was calculating in her heart. However, her expression was very calm, and she didn't look worried at all, which made Danzhi's heart settle down. No matter what time it is, silence always calms people's hearts. If she panicked first, what about the others? Naturally, it is more stable.

Gu Wanyin knows this very well. After thinking about it, she spoke again: "Shunbian will invite Yufei over." At this time, the third wife may no longer be able to fully trust, but Zhou Yufei is different. She believes that no matter what, Zhou Yufei will be on her side.

Danzhi took the order and left, and Zhou Yufei came over after a while. It's much earlier than the third wife, probably because of the proximity.

Zhou Yufei was already very sensitive, and when she came in at this time, she saw a room of dignified, and immediately opened her mouth Gu Wanyin and said, "Sister-in-law, what happened?" Why is it so ......?"

"I've angered the old lady today." Gu Wanyin pulled her to sit down, sighed, raised her eyes and spoke softly. I didn't hide anything about what happened in the palace today. Including how the Queen Mother persecuted the Holy Lord, how the old lady opened her mouth to help, and how the Holy Lord asked her, and how she answered, she said it without missing anything.

Zhou Yufei could hear it. After Gu Wanyin finished speaking, she was almost stunned for a long time before she woke up, and said in surprise: "How could the old lady be like this-" confused? The last two words Zhou Yufei didn't say in the end, her xing was like this, and she never refused to say anything excessive; In particular, the other party is an old lady, so she should be respected.

It's just that this time, Zhou Yufei feels it. The old lady's move was indeed confused.

Gu Wanyin naturally knew what Zhou Yufei wanted to say, and nodded at the moment: "Don't say this, it's just that the old lady is annoyed with me now." I'm afraid that I won't easily dissipate this breath. Moreover, I looked at the old lady's meaning, and it was clear that she was determined to echo King Qin and help the Queen Mother to help King Qin ascend the throne. ”

Zhou Yushou was stunned for a moment, and his big eyes seemed to be a little puzzled: "Then King Qin is like this, it can be regarded as a party for personal gain-is the saint...... Don't you even notice it? "Whoever forms a party for personal gain is a capital offense. Could it be that King Qin is not afraid at all?

Gu Wanyin sighed. Looking at Zhou Yufei's gaze, there was gentleness and love, and there was also a faint smile: "What if it's a party for personal gain?" As long as King Qin can ascend to the throne in the end, it doesn't matter what means are used now. Just like the original saint, could it be that the original saint was not considered a party for personal gain when the emperor had not yet died? Moreover, that position is for the King of Qin. Youhuo's power is so great that maybe he can throw it all away. "Youhuo in that location is more attractive than anything else.

King Qin, already under such a youhuo, is ready to move.

"What does that sister-in-law and brother mean-" A glimmer of light flashed in Zhou Yushuang's clear eyes, and he looked at Gu Wanyin as if he had an epiphany.

"I think the worst outcome is to break up." Gu Wanyin said in a deep voice. There was a hint of helplessness in his jade-like eyes. This is naturally the worst method, and it cannot be used unless it is absolutely necessary. Besides, even if the family is separated, the old lady will also follow the big house, and their big house will still not be able to get rid of the current situation at that time. Separation. It's just to preserve the second and third rooms, and it's also for the other two rooms not to take the opportunity to suppress the big house. is also to cut off Zhou Ruijing's scruples. However, she felt that things were far from this step, so she sighed: "But I think about me, maybe the old lady will only cut me now." ”

In the old lady's opinion, her right to speak in the Zhou family was given by the old lady, and naturally the old lady could take it back. And the old lady, this is what the most likely thing to do now.

Zhou Yufei lowered her head, pondered for a moment and then raised her head, the confusion in her eyes had completely disappeared, and only a firmness remained: "Sister-in-law is saying that the old lady will take back the power of the housekeeper." What's more, weaken the sister-in-law's status in the Zhou family. ”

"Yes." Gu Wanyin nodded and admitted without hesitation. In the face of Zhou Yufei, she has nothing to hide; "Now the second wife is still in the old lady's room. Do you think the second wife will speak for me? ”

"Naturally not." Zhou Yufei shook his head, pondered for a moment before whispering: "The second aunt, although she is not too bad, can do anything for her own interests. No matter what, she doesn't want to go back to the days when the second wife was in charge of the house. So after a pause, she looked at Gu Wanyin and asked softly, "What is my sister-in-law going to do?" "Now that Gu Wanyin has opened her mouth, there must be a way to deal with it.

Gu Wanyin smiled slightly, the light in her eyes flickered, slightly bright, but she shook her head again and said softly: "There is no way." After all, the identity of the old lady is there, and it is useless for her to resist, otherwise she will have to bear the charge of unfilial piety. She can not care, but what about Zhou Ruijing? Zhou Ruijing can't bear such a charge.

Zhou Yufei was stunned for a moment, and there was a trace of surprise and worry in his eyes: "Then what should we do?" "She's talking about us, not Gu Wanyin alone. The meaning is naturally very obvious.

Gu Wanyin's heart warmed, she was slightly moved, and her gaze at Zhou Yufei couldn't help but soften a little: "No matter what I do, Yufei, you have to fight for your own interests;." Since you have already intervened in the housekeeper, if you really get to that point and I have to back down, you will replace me and restrain the second wife, and you must not let the second wife be the same as before, okay? "The safest way is to hold the power in your own hands. Only in this way can Zhou Yufei protect himself.

And Zhou Yufei has the strength to protect himself, and Zhou Ruijing will naturally feel more at ease.

Zhou Yufei felt sour in her heart when she heard this, and a trace of sadness appeared in her eyes: "My sister-in-law is so smart, there must be other ways." Thinking about what Gu Wanyin was going to face next, Zhou Yufei was a little distressed. From the moment she entered the door, Gu Wanyin was not less wronged. Looking at Gu Wanyin's calm and gentle smile, she felt a little unworthy.

"You don't have to fight against the second wife alone, rely on the third wife for everything." Gu Wanyin continued in a low voice, but the smile in her eyes never diminished: "You have to understand the truth of mutual checks and balances." On the old lady's side, I naturally have an opinion, but I'm afraid that I won't have time to take care of you when the time comes——"

"I can protect myself." Zhou Yufei interrupted Gu Wanyin's words softly, although her voice was soft, it was full of firmness and determination. "I will protect myself, brother and sister-in-law, don't worry." She's not going to be a drag like she used to be.

"Well, I believe you." Gu Wanyin reached out to hold Zhou Yufei's hand, and said softly, her voice full of trust.

After saying a few more words, there was a notice outside, and the third wife had come. Gu Wanyin and Zhou Yufei glanced at each other, and they both stopped. Looking at the door with a smile, waiting for the third lady to come in.

The third lady wore a beaded huángsè dress today, and wrapped it tightly. The collar is also a high vertical collar, which covers the neck, but it is not bloated, but it sets off the spirit of people. The well-cut lines make the third wife's waist soft and plump. When the third lady came in, she stomped her feet and said, "How many months has it been now?" Why is it so cold? I don't know how cold it will be this winter. I don't know if our charcoal is enough? ”

Gu Wanyin looked at her cheeks a little red, as if she couldn't resist the wind, and hurriedly asked the girl to pour her tea to warm her body, and even apologized in her mouth: "It's not good for me." If it weren't for me, the third aunt wouldn't have had to make this trip. After thinking about it, he instructed Danzhi: "I remember the face fat that the prince found a few days ago, and took it out to moisten the face of the third wife." ”

After a while, Danzhi took out a box of mutton fat and white jade, and the contents were not yet seen, but the box was very delicate and meticulous, and the jade was of high quality, but it was so exquisite. There was nothing I didn't like after seeing it, and the third wife couldn't help but look at it twice. But he smiled and said, "How does this work?" Ruijing came to you, how can I use it well? ”

While speaking, Danzhi had already opened the small jade box, and a fragrance came to his nose, although it was rich, it was not vulgar, but it was like the fragrance of flowers. It was only a little thick at the moment when it was opened, and then it slowly faded a little, and it was at the end of the nose, faint and faint.

Gu Wanyin smiled slightly: "There are several boxes in total, where can I use them up?" The third aunt likes it, and it is also possible to take a box back and use it. ”

The third lady came closer to see that the paste was a faint pink, transparent as mutton fat, and there was no impurity in it. At the moment, I couldn't help but praise in my heart - it's really a good thing. ”

"This is a gift from the Holy Heavens, it is said to be a tribute from the East China Sea, and it is made with a special and extremely rare kind of fish with fat, which is very rare." Gu Wanyin explained with a smile, "There is a lot of incense added to it, and it is very easy to wipe your face." It's also thanks to the saint's great favor on him, otherwise I wouldn't have needed such a good thing. ”

The third lady listened to Gu Wanyin's words, her eyes shrank slightly, and then she lowered her gaze and muttered slightly for a moment before she spoke——;
