Yu Yao has been very depressed recently.

It stands to reason that Xie Wan became the queen, and it was when she showed her strength in the capital.

She thought about it, first handed over the posts to the prefectures, walked around the capital, and then set up a banquet in the mansions, and invited all the noblewomen in the capital, and she would definitely be famous at that time, and see who would look down on her!

Yu Yao thought very well, she even thought that if the account office did not approve the money for the banquet, she would move Xie Qing out, they didn't recognize her as the master, so they had to recognize Xie Qing, right?

But she never thought that the first one who went against her, trapped her in the Hou Mansion, and didn't allow her to go out was actually her own son who depended on her for her life!

She was affectionate and reasonable to Xie Qing, and even used it for sprinkling and rolling, but Xie Qing still didn't let go.

She scolded angrily: "What kind of ecstasy soup did Xie Wan pour into you to make you bully me like this?!" I'm your mother! Isn't everything I do for you?! ”

Xie Qing's face turned cold when he heard this: "Mother called the queen by her name, but did you ever think that if it was passed out, what would be the consequences?" ”

Yu Yao disagreed: "What's this?" Speaking of which, I'm still her elder. ”

Hearing this, Xie Qing suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.

A concubine, where did she come from to say that she was the elder of her daughter? What's more, that person is now the mother of a nation.

Don't say that she is a concubine, even if she is the biological mother and mother-in-law of the eight classics, she will not speak directly about the queen's name, and she has no scruples about it.

This is not only ignorance, but also megalomania!

If she is really allowed to go out and toss, it will not only destroy herself.

On the same day, Xie Qing found Steward Fang, and repeatedly emphasized that he must not let the Yu family go out.

Yu Yao has been trapped in the house for more than two months, and she is looking for Xie Qing every day to talk about it, but Xie Qing is so annoyed that she simply moved directly to Guozi Prison.

Xie Lan was busy going to school, learning piano, chess, calligraphy, painting and female red, Yu Yao always felt that it was useless for girls to learn these, so she didn't pay attention to it.

In this way, Xie Lan hid to be clean.

Although the subordinates in the mansion were respectful to Yu Yao, they didn't listen to her orders very much, Yu Yao pondered that there should be her cronies in the mansion, so she began to buy the subordinates.

At first, the subordinate ignored her at all, but suddenly one day, a subordinate in the house quietly borrowed money from her, saying that he had been deceived into going to the gambling house and owed a lot of money.

Yu Yao knew that her first cronies were here.

She gave fifty taels to the subordinate, and did not need to pay him back, and the subordinate reciprocated, saying that he was willing to serve him as a dog and horse, and asked if there was anything he could do.

Yu Yao thought about it and asked him if he could find a way to let her out of the house.

The subordinate hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "The guard is on duty, and it will be the slave's turn to be Ming'er, but in addition to the slave, there is another person on duty with the slave, if the aunt wants to leave the house, the slave will think about it." ”

When Yu Yao heard this, he immediately said: "Okay, as long as you can do this, I will definitely have a reward!" ”

The subordinate suddenly smiled: "Auntie, just wait for the good news!" ”

That night, the man brought a letter, saying that he had already negotiated with another person, as long as he gave some sweetness, that person would treat it as if he hadn't seen it, but Yu Yao couldn't go out for too long, only for two hours at most.

Two hours is half a day, and it is enough for Yu Yao, who is suffocated.

She happily gave the silver, not to mention, the next day, she really went out smoothly.

Because it was the first time she went out, she didn't know what to do for a while, so she wandered around the capital.

After walking around, she felt bored, so she asked her personal maid where the various prefectures in the capital were, and she planned to visit.

The personal maid is named Peony, and she has been very close to Yu Yao these days, and she thought about it after hearing this: "I am afraid that it is a little inappropriate to visit the ladies of the various provinces, and the aunt wants to occupy a place among the nobles of the capital, it is better to pretend to meet by chance, and the slave knows that there is a pear orchard, which is often visited by the ladies of the various provinces." ”

Yu Yao's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Okay, let's go there!" ”

Peony took her to the pear orchard, and in order to show her identity, Yu Yao bought the best position.

After sitting down, Peony said: "There are partitions in the private rooms, and I can't see what the other private rooms are like here, so the slave and maid go to inquire and investigate." ”

Yu Yao naturally nodded in response, and Peony went out.

However, she didn't come back for a long time, and the scene was over, so she came back.

Yu Yao frowned and said, "Why did you go for so long?" Are there any other ladies in the house today? ”

Peony was a little absent-minded, Yu Yao asked twice in a row, and then she came back to her senses and hurriedly said: "The slave maid went to investigate, because the national mourning has not passed, and the ladies are afraid of being searched, so they have not come these days." ”

Yu Yao frowned when she heard this, and blamed the peony, feeling that she had wasted her time.

No matter how much she blamed, the peony was all accepted, but some gods did not keep it, and it was the same until she returned home.

Yu Yao finally felt strange, and after asking again and again, Peony looked around and whispered, "Slave maid...... The slave and maid seemed to have seen the master. ”

Yu Yao was dumbfounded when she heard this, and she stammered: "It's a blue sky, don't be scary." ”

"Slaves don't dare to speak!"

Peony said in a low voice: "When I was in the pear orchard, the slave maid turned around, and I didn't see your lady, so I wondered if it was too early, so the slave and maid went to the door to wait for luck, but I didn't expect to see a man, exactly the same as the old man, and even the behavior was the same." ”

The only difference was that the man should have had inconvenient legs and feet, and was sitting on a four-wheeled cart, and the slave maid thought that he was dazzled, so he deliberately followed him all the way, and found that he lived in a house not far from the pear orchard. The slave maid inquired, the man had only recently come to the capital, and the house had only been rented a few days ago. ”

Yu Yao frowned when she heard this: "It can't be the master, if it is really the master, why doesn't he go home?" ”

Peony shook her head: "The slave doesn't know, but the slave thinks that if that person is really the master, it is not incomprehensible that he will not return home." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

Peony said in a low voice: "Auntie, think about it, everyone in the Great Jin Dynasty knows that the old man fell off the cliff and died, and when he died, he was already unrecognizable, and the title has been passed to the little marquis, if the lord comes back now, how should the little marquis deal with himself?" ”

"Moreover, the body of the lord was brought back by the queen herself, and if the lord comes back, others will inevitably criticize the queen. The slave maid said something rebellious, how much is the death of the old lady related to the queen's mother, if the old man comes back, how should he face this matter? ”

Yu Yao pondered for a moment when she heard this, and suddenly realized: "If the old man is really alive, he must be threatened by Xie Wan, so he doesn't dare to go home!" ”

Hearing her call Xie Wan by her name again, Peony frowned slightly, but didn't say anything, only said in a low voice: "It's hard to say whether that person is the master or not, my aunt has been with the master for many years, I'm afraid that only my aunt can confirm it if I go in person." ”
