Xiang Lan muttered quietly, "The emperor doesn't seem to have any intention of supporting the county lord." ”

Li Qingyi stretched out his hand to fold off the begonia flowers outside the corridor, and said: "The emperor is not born to the queen mother, although he has enough respect for the queen mother, but he does not have much affection, the queen mother's favor for the lord of Yuanheng and Wei Jin'er is understandable to the emperor, but he will not help the queen mother spoil them." Otherwise, as soon as the Queen Mother died, the status of the county lord of Yuanheng would plummet. ”

That feeling is probably that all of a sudden, there is nothing around me, there is nothing left, the awe of others is stammering, and the human relations that come and go when called are gone.

How could she not panic?

Therefore, she is now holding on to her face, and she can't wait to please Wei Shicheng behind her back, and she can't wait to help the Wei family do something to save her status.

Lu Wu nodded, "What the girl said is that the county lord grew up in front of the Queen Mother, pampered, arrogant, and domineering, how many people will really befriend her?" With no one to help, she can only plan for herself now. ”

Li Qingyi shook his head and sighed: "People always have to learn to grow up in adversity......"

It's a pity that the county lord of Yuanheng doesn't understand in the end.

The Wei family only used her from beginning to end.

Even if she sacrifices her daughter, she can't get any respect.

How can a thing be seen as a human being?

Just like now, Li Qingyi himself is just an object used to climb the power in the eyes of the Wei family.

Xianglan held the box given by Mrs. Wei, opened it and glanced at the Nanzhu inside, and said: "With such a color, the girl usually crushes it and uses it to apply her face, and Mrs. Wei also takes it out to give it away?" ”

Lu Wu glared at her, "You are used to living a good life with a girl, at home on weekdays, our second wife dotes on the girl, and takes the best of everything, this Nanzhu is actually quite good." ”

Li Qingyi listened to the two of them talking, thinking about the day when the second aunt would arrive in Beijing.

Over there, Xiang Lan said again, "Then the old lady of the Wei family has a very fierce face!" It looks scary! Although she is laughing, her eyes are always gloomy, and the second lady and the third lady seem to be afraid of her, it seems that this old lady Wei is very difficult to mess with. ”

"You're wrong."

Li Qingyi's face suddenly became solemn, "The most terrifying person in the Wei family is not Old Madam Wei. ”

Lu Wu's heart tightened, "What the girl said...... Master Wei? ”

"When you see someone later, you'll understand."

When I returned to the Xiangyuan Courtyard, Xianglan led the little girl to pack up her things.

Lu Wu brought the tea and whispered: "In the name of being familiar with all parts of the Wei family, the slave maid went to the second gate, and the second lady and the third lady all let people out of the house, and they all wanted to inquire about the rumors." ”

Lu Wu put down the things in his hand and added: "These two have a smile on their faces, and there are a lot of small movements behind their backs. ”

Li Qingyi said with a smile: "Don't underestimate the Wei family, they are all powerful characters who pretend to be pigs and eat tigers." The second lady is open-hearted, but secretly she has a lot of flowers. The third lady's maiden family is the household servant's house, and the family has a wide range of connections, and she is the most comfortable in the house, and she is also the younger sister-in-law set by Wei Shicheng. However, these two also have their shortcomings......"

Lu Wu was curious: "What shortcomings?" ”

"The second lady was born in the Nanning Hou Mansion, and the children of the Nanning Hou Mansion who have not made much progress over the years have all relied on the support of the old Hou Ye, and they look quite bright on their faces, but in fact, they have been squandered into an empty shell after several generations. The second lady married in early, if it was a few years later, the position of the second lady would not be her turn. ”

"So...... What does the girl mean is that the second lady is short of money? ”

Li Qingyi's eyes flickered, "Didn't you see her staring at the third lady?" Obviously crying with jealousy, I still have to pretend to laugh. ”

Yu Wu nodded, "The third lady is indeed very confident, and the hairpin is a rare thing to take out, so she will give it to the girl as a gift...... What are the shortcomings of the third lady? ”

Li Qingyi smiled, "When we just got off the carriage today, there were a few girls standing under the corridor, except for the second girl, who was born in the second room, and the fifth girl who was born in the third room, and the rest were all concubines in the third room. Do you understand by now, where are the shortcomings of the third lady? ”

"Huh? Is the third master a womanizer? ”

Li Qingyi raised her lips and smiled, "Not only that, the third lady has been married for many years, and she has no son so far, the third master relies on this, but even the old lady Wei has turned a blind eye to the concubine." ”

Therefore, the second lady is jealous of the third lady's hard family and has enough confidence.

The third lady is jealous of the second lady's children, and the husband is considerate.

But on the issue of the county lord of Yuanheng, the two are very united.

Li Qingyi's fingers unconsciously tapped the tea cup.

Everyone in the Wei family, including the two aunts and grandmothers who married outside, have shortcomings.

The only thing that has no shortcomings to grasp is the most terrible Wei Shicheng!

However, she didn't have to use him as a breakthrough to bring down the Wei family.

As long as the Wei family is in chaos first, she will have a chance.

As she was distracted, she asked, "How does the girl know this?" ”

Li Qingyi smiled: "Your girl, I, have eyes like a torch, and I am extremely smart, I can see it." ”

"The girl loves slaves and maids." Yu Wu glanced at her, and didn't ask any more questions, but said: "The new husband of the county lord has only been in the government for more than ten years, and he has climbed to the position of the secretary of the ministry, and the queen mother is doing politics...... Why doesn't the emperor care? ”

Li Qingyi was amused by her sentence of "new husband".

Wei Shicheng and the county lord of Yuanheng have been old husbands and wives for more than ten years.

When he was old, Wei Shicheng began to dislike the county lord of Yuanheng.

"The Queen Mother is the Queen Mother after all, as long as she doesn't do anything that angers and resents people, the emperor will not pursue it, not to mention that Wei Shicheng is indeed talented."

The master and servant spoke, and took some snacks, and rested for more than an hour.

There was a little girl outside, who was the one named Lingxi next to the county lord of Yuanheng.

"Miss Li, it's time to set up a meal in the upper room, and the county lord asked the slave maid to invite you over."

Li Qingyi answered, got up and asked Lu Wu to come over and help her recomb her hair.

Lu Wu re-combed Li Qingyi's single screw bun according to the style of clothes, and only matched a simple jade hosta, which made her show a casual and light aura more and more.

"What else does the county lord have to say?"

Seeing her dressed up like this, Lingxi secretly admired in her heart.

"The county lord has no other instructions, today the county lord returns home, and it is the day when the girl first enters the house, the old lady instructed the good student to entertain you, and set up a family banquet, so that you can be familiar with the owners of the Wei family, and you will have a good relationship in the future."

Li Qingyi nodded, took the Wuwu and Xianglan out of the Xiangxiang Courtyard, and walked all the way along the hand-copying verandah.

Looking at the courtyard of Heyan Hall from afar, there were already people waiting in front of the door.

When the maidservant saw Li Qingyi coming, she smiled and saluted her, then lifted the curtain and reported softly at the door: "Miss Li is here." ”
