The annual Yuan Xi Festival can be said to be the most lively day in Beijing.

Shen Miaolian looked up at the moon alone, lamented to the moon, and went back to sleep in the third watch with melancholy, but the next day she started to have a fever.

Since the six of their masters and servants arrived in Siguozhai, Mama Jin was chopped off a finger by Zhang He, and even Shen Miaolian was strangled half to death, plus Zheng Qiyan ignored it. So Shen Miaolian's five servants, except for Mama Jin as always, the other slaves and maids were not as good as before.

The parents of the Xingchun Xinghua sisters are quite good, and they try their best to transfer them back.

Mingyue Xiaozhu and the two still stayed by Shen Miaolian's side, but they each swept the snow in front of the door, and even Shen Miaolian couldn't call them. On these days, if they have time to sew and do some needlework, they beg the big brothers who guard their torture room to help them take them out and sell them, and exchange them for some delicate and delicious food or thick clothes to protect them from the cold. Why bother to serve beside Shen Miaolian, who has an increasingly irritable temper and beats and scolds people at every turn.

Shen Miaolian was so sick and dizzy, except for Mama Jin to take care of her, basically no one paid attention to her. But Mama Jin is old and frail after all, and it is inevitable that there will be inconsiderate places. As a result, Shen Miaolian's condition became more and more serious, lying on the bed, and she had barely eaten for two days.

Shen Miaolian's leader, Sen Sen, was in a daze, and dreamed that Zheng Qiyan smiled gently and came to pick her up in person.

In the Hou Mansion, Shen Miaolian deliberately dressed up in a fancy way, wearing a big red dress that only the main room was qualified to wear, and took Zheng Yu to greet Jintong. Sure enough, Jintong's straw bag jumped like thunder, and slapped her in front of Mrs. Zhen, and as a result, Mrs. Zhen was grounded in the smoke and waves to copy the female training and female commandments. copied her to smash dishes every day, and Shen Miaolian was proud.

As soon as the picture turned, Jintong was beheaded and the vegetable market, and not long after, Jintong was sent to the family temple, claiming that he died of illness.

Shen Miaolian thought that she could finally take the throne, but unexpectedly, within a year, Zheng Qiyan married Xiao Qingfang, the ninth daughter of the Criminal Department. Shen Miaolian is commensurate with her sisters on the surface, and seems to be intimate, but in fact, she secretly makes small movements.

But after exhausting all means, Xiao Qingfang is still pregnant.

The weather is hot in June, Xiao Qingfang is now pregnant for July, it is easy to get tired, these days I don't sleep very well, and the whole person is visibly emaciated.

Zheng Qiyan instructed his subordinates to move more than a dozen jars of ice cubes and put them in Liuyun Pavilion, and after watching Xiao Qingfang sleep peacefully, somehow, he came to Yanbo Haomiao Xuan.

The girl who is brighter and more beautiful than the flowers in spring, now in the family temple, the green lantern ancient Buddha, the red face is withered, and she must still hate him to the bone, right?

He sighed secretly, looking back on the past, he was helpless.

Jintong is domineering and impulsive, but her third brother is weak and confused, and the two brothers and sisters are stupid and stupid and combine without knowing it. Jintong blindly blamed him for spoiling his concubine and killing his wife, and Jinyu blindly blamed him for being bad to Jintong, and he didn't know that he was used.

If the political situation is stable, with his merits, it is more than enough to protect this stupid brother and sister, but now the king of Jin has ascended the throne. Kexian King Li Wei is praised by everyone, and he is quite powerful in the court. Concubine Chen has been operating in the harem for many years, and has teamed up with her two own sons, Rui Wang Qingwang, to make waves again and again.

Although the edict of the first emperor was testified by the queen mother, the letter that made the king of Jin as the crown prince was true, and the rest were all false edicts. But where do the common people know so much, and folk rumors are spreading, all saying that the name of the king of Jin is not right.

The Holy Lord must also pretend to be a brother, and he can't cut off the wings of these people with a dead hand in the open, and the lord of a country should be really aggrieved.

The wind and rain were shaking, and the Marquis of Jingbei had a good wife Tang behind him to support him. But no matter how virtuous the woman in the back house is, she can't save Jinyu who threw herself into the net in the previous dynasty. Stupidly deceived into going to the Jiangbei area for disaster relief, he was framed for embezzling disaster relief food, and was later executed on fabricated charges. The title and Danshu iron coupons that Lao Jingbei Marquis and his three sons desperately exchanged for were just to keep Jinyu's wife, Tang, two sons and one daughter. In order to ensure that the four Tang mother and son were safe, Zheng Qiyan sent them back to the north and secretly sent someone to take care of them, he believed that with the ability of the Tang family, in the north, he would definitely be able to protect the three children.

Zheng Qiyan rubbed his temples and had a headache.

On a peaceful day, Xiao Qingfang is indeed impeccable as the main room, but now the situation is a little insufficient. Xiao Qingfang's personality is too weak, she likes to be sad and sad when she has nothing to do, and she doesn't know anyone, if it weren't for her simple methods, she wouldn't be able to hold the middle feed of the Pingning Hou Mansion.

He hopes that God can give him an external reputation for the Pingning Marquis Mansion, not only can he be good at dancing with long sleeves to handle all aspects of personnel relations, but also can kill all sides, and slash the people who covet the Pingning Marquis Mansion with a knife; Nei can guard the entire Hou Mansion than the iron bucket without leaking knives and guns, and help Jian'an Hou's wife by the way.

Alas, everything is an extravagant hope! Zheng Qiyan stopped his delusions, went to listen to Yu Xiaozhu in person, grounded Shen Miaolian, and tied all her slaves to the torture room.

Shen Miaolian has been imprisoned in Tingyu Xiaozhu for half a month, except for every sunset, the two grandmothers are responsible for delivering her food for night incense barrels, the rest of the time, not even a bird has flown in.

In the past half a month, Shen Miaolian has developed from a lot of noise at the beginning, to a breakdown and crying, and now she has rekindled her confidence.

For half a month, she was just imprisoned, and there was no other punishment questioning, so thinking about it, the seventh master either still remembered the old feelings, or there was no actual evidence, so he did not punish her further.

Shen Miaolian didn't know everything she had. Xiao Qingfang's several grandmothers have already found out, and the human and material evidence is complete, and they are all clear and clear.

The Xiao family has a deep heritage, and the eldest daughter Xiao Qingyun married the King of Jin as a concubine, but unfortunately died young. However, after King Jin ascended to the throne, he posthumously crowned Xiao Qingyun as the queen, and set up her eldest son as the crown prince. The Xiao family is now a saint and is the hottest Qingliu family in Shangjing.

If it weren't for Xiao Qingfang's infatuation with Zheng Qiyan, and she still couldn't marry out of her twenties, it would be impossible for the Xiao family to agree to marry her into Zheng Qiyan, who was rumored to have a wife and gave birth to the eldest daughter's favorite concubine.

The Xiao family naturally investigated Zheng Qiyan, and the rumors of his wife are not to be worried, but they are just rumors spread by the little concubine who vainly tried to take the position of Mrs. Pingning Hou. The favorite concubine of the Pingning Hou Mansion who met Zheng Qiyan in Weishi, shared hardships, and was loyal to the whole family In order to protect Zheng Qiyan, the whole family died and she was the only favorite concubine left, which is a big trouble.

Therefore, when Xiao Qingfang married into the Pingning Marquis Mansion, she married eight experienced grandmothers and twenty maids who were good at all kinds of house fighting skills, and their scale was better than that of Jintong.

Shen Miaolian grew up in a simple environment, although she has also learned a lot in the Pingning Hou Mansion in the past ten years, where can she compare to the Xiao family's family history? As soon as Xiao Qingfang took charge of the feed, the eight grandmothers were like spring rain moisturizing things silently, silently controlling all the affairs in the Pingning Hou Mansion.

What can be used by Shen Miaolian is nothing more than those who are not loyal enough, or greedy for money or lustful, or, they are nails planted by outsiders, trying to use Shen Miaolian to make Zheng Qiyan's backyard catch fire, and the most powerful left arm and right arm of the current holy lord are too busy to take care of themselves, and they have no intention of going to court. Being able to be bought by her today is not conducive to the Pingning Hou Mansion, and it can naturally betray Shen Miaolian because of its own interests.

Shen Miaolian thought that she had the handle of the people who were bought, and these people would not betray her to a large extent. As everyone knows, those people have already explained what she has done over the years.

Under the joint persuasion of the eight grandmothers, Xiao Qingfang was extremely calm, and she was very close to Shen Miaolian's sisters and sisters on the surface, until she was pregnant, and the imperial doctor diagnosed that the fetus in her womb was a baby boy nine times out of ten, and she was sure that she was sitting firmly in the fetus, so she quietly dealt with Shen Miaolian.

Shen Miaolian thinks she is smart, since Xiao Qingfang wants to take charge of the feed, then she is very generous and handed over all the ownership authority to her on the surface, and she is listening to Yu Xiaozhu chanting and chanting Buddha every day, looking virtuous. Secretly, the natural small movements are non-stop, but the intensity is much more restrained.

Now she is listening to Yu Xiaozhu and no one cares, but it is because Xiao Qingfang is about to give birth. Zheng Qiyan has passed the age of not being confused, and finally has a son-in-law, which is naturally extremely important. These days, they are by Xiao Qingfang's side, as for why Shen Miaolian is locked up, it is naturally for the sake of safety, lest she don't know what tricks she will come up with to hurt the baby in Xiao Qingfang's womb.

Xiao Qingfang's several grandmothers who married had already told Zheng Qiyan about Shen Miaolian's small actions secretly and conclusively.

Shen Miaolian was locked in the house, and Mama Jin and the others had already been escorted away by Zheng Qiyan's order, and they didn't know where to go, and the whole Tingyu Xiaozhu was dead silent.

It was getting dark, no one was in charge of the lamp, and Shen Miaolian's liver was getting more and more fluttering and jumping. She was thinking about how to exonerate herself, and suddenly there was a sound of footsteps from far and near, someone came with a lantern, Shen Miaolian hurriedly sorted out her appearance and clothes, and rushed to the door with the light.

The lock was opened, and as soon as Zheng Qiyan pushed open the door, Shen Miaolian knelt down beside his lap and shouted wronged.

Zheng Qiyan didn't pay attention to her, lit the candles in the room one by one, and found a chair to sit safely: "Tell me, where did you wrong?" ”

Shen Miaolian's eyes flew wildly, and she secretly wondered in her heart: What was the thing that was not secret enough, and Zheng Qiyan was caught by exposing her feet, so she grabbed a few of her personal maids so vigorously, and imprisoned her in Tingyu Xiaozhu and ignored her, did Jin Mama and them explain anything that was not conducive to her.

Zheng Qiyan saw that Shen Miaolian's eyes flickered, and he had no remorse, so he laughed angrily: "Can't think of it? That's it! ”

Shen Miaolian thought that Zheng Qiyan had no evidence, so she raised her head ecstatically, but saw that he actually stretched out his hand to give her a porcelain bottle: "Ben Hou will leave you some dignity, you can break yourself!" ”

Shen Miaolian shook her head in horror and kept retreating to dodge: "No! Master Hou, the concubine really doesn't know what she did wrong? Master Hou actually wants the life of a cheap concubine! Master Hou, our Shen family is for you~~~"

When Zheng Qiyan heard the Shen family, he really couldn't control himself, and stepped forward and slapped her to the ground: "Shen family!" You still have the face to mention the Shen family! If their heavenly spirits know what you have done, they are afraid that they will hate you and have to recognize you as the Shen family! ”

Shen Miaolian can't stay! If she is just greedy for wealth, then Zheng Qiyan gave her a few million taels of silver, and it is just a gesture to ensure that she is a rich mother-in-law.

But this woman wants the position of Mrs. Pingning Hou, who was used by others without knowing it, and killed his three wives in a row, if it weren't for the power of Xiao Qingfang's several grandmothers, I am afraid that even her and the fetus in the womb were plotted by Shen Miaolian.

In order to grab wealth, Shen Miaolian stole a lot of property from the mansion and sold it, thinking that she was smart enough to buy many slaves in the mansion for her own use. Some of these people are the nails that others have planted into the Pingning Marquis Mansion, pushing the boat down the river, not only helping Shen Miaolian harm people, but also helping their own masters collect intelligence. Such a poisonous woman who is not greedy enough, and who is more than harmful to others, will never be kept

Zheng Qiyan decisively clicked on Shen Miaolian's acupoints, picked her chin again, and poured the whole bottle of poison down. After making sure that all the medicine was in the abdomen, he unlocked her acupoint, closed her chin, pushed her away, and strode away.

Shen Miaolian fell to the ground, convulsing constantly, her abdomen was like dozens of sharp knives stirring, and the pain was unbearable. She struggled to spit out the poison in her stomach, but although the acupuncture point had been solved, her whole body did not obey the call, and her chin was dislocated, where could she vomit!

With tears in his eyes, Zheng Qiyan walked farther and farther, and only heard his cold voice in his ears: "Aunt Shen is seriously ill and died." She unwillingly opened her eyes and died of exhaustion.

Shen Miaolian woke up from the nightmare screaming, threw herself on the head of the bed and retched, gasping for air, and cold sweat was dripping on her forehead.

Mama Jin was boiling bird's nest porridge outside, and when she heard the movement, she hurriedly came in, hurriedly helped Shen Miaolian with her hands, helped her cushion a few pillows, and took out a handkerchief to wipe away the cold sweat on her forehead.

Shen Miaolian sat on the edge of the bed for a long time before she calmed down. Mama Jin said: "Butler Wu knows that my aunt is ill, so I sent a pound of high-grade palace swallows, the old slave has been boiled, my aunt rests for a while, and the old slave will go and bring it." ”

Shen Miaolian grabbed Mama Jin's hand tightly: "That bird's nest was sent by Wu An?" Didn't Jintong's slut pretend to let her subordinates take it? ”

"It was sent by Wu An personally, and the family who guarded the fasting was also replaced by the people in the torture room in our house, who helped a lot, and sent a lot of fresh ingredients for charcoal fire."

The master and servant were talking, but Xiaozhu personally brought the bird's nest porridge in: "Auntie, Mama Jin, this bird's nest porridge is just right, if the aunt is in better health, hurry up and go in." ”

Shen Miaolian glanced at Xiaozhu coldly, she was very weak now, and she didn't have the strength to teach this little hoof who saw the wind and rudder.

Xiaozhu also has her own plans, she has been discussing with Mingyue for several days, so if she stays in the fast, how long will it be a head? Now that Jintong is the master of the Hou Mansion, his wrists are tough and vicious, and there are a few of their masters and servants, even if they can go back to the mansion, where can they please him? It's better to persuade Shen Miaolian to obey Zheng Qiyan's arrangement early in the morning, come out independently and set up a female membership, be free, and have the backing of the Pingning Marquis Mansion, who would dare to provoke?

Shen Miaolian slowly drank a bowl of bird's nest porridge, and then said: "Seventh Master still has me in his heart after all, don't think that now that I am banned in the family temple, there will be no future." Then he looked at Xiaozhu with fixed eyes, his face mocking.

Xiaozhu replied neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Auntie, even if we go back to the house, what can we do?" The authority of the entire Hou Mansion is in the hands of Mrs. Jin, and she knows that we caused her to fall into the water in the first place, and it is unknown how to rub us when the time comes! It's better to wait for the seventh master to come back, ask him for a favor, and let us go out of the house. ”

"Impossible!" Shen Miaolian pointed at Xiaozhu's nose: "I finally gave birth to a son and a daughter for the Seventh Master, and our Shen family died for the Seventh Master, and I was the only one left." If it weren't for the fact that I had a great fortune~~"

"Auntie, you can't even hide these words from your wife, let alone me?" Xiaozhu saw that Shen Miaolian was crazy, and unceremoniously interrupted Shen Miaolian's self-hypnosis: "Auntie, if the seventh master really has you in his heart, how can you still be a complete body now?" It's been almost ten years, and the seventh master hasn't touched you, what else do you expect? Besides, if the Seventh Master can successfully pacify Southern Xinjiang, with his status, even if Mrs. Jin is gone, it will be impossible to straighten you out! ”

Shen Miaolian was so angry that Venus in front of her eyes was rising, her head was dizzy for a while, but what Xiaozhu said was true, and she had nothing to refute.

But she has lived in the Hou Mansion for nine years, and she feels that she has paid a lot, so how can she give up easily? It's easy to go out of the house, but where can you find a husband who satisfies her?

Thinking of the picture of Zheng Qiyan personally feeding her to drink poison in the dream, she shuddered.

But she doesn't give up, she looks like her sister, since Zheng Qiyan has an unforgettable old love for her sister, then she has a chance. Even if you can't be the head of the Pingning Hou Mansion, as long as you want to get rid of Jintong and let her continue to control the feed, that's fine!

Mama Jin saw that Shen Miaolian's face was discouraged, and hurriedly pushed Xiaozhu away: "You don't say a few words, don't make your aunt unhappy." ”

"Mama Jin, people don't destroy the heavens and the earth for themselves, I also think about my aunt, although the words are ugly, the reason is that reason."

Shen Miaolian was so angry that she patted the edge of the bed hard: "Mama Jin, kick this out for me!" ”

Mama Jin saw that Shen Miaolian's face was flushed, and she was out of breath, so she hurriedly pushed and beat Xiaozhu and pushed Xiaozhu out.

Xiaozhu didn't struggle, and when she got to the door, she opened her mouth and persuaded Mama Jin: "Mama, you have time to persuade your aunt, now going out of the house is the only way, is it possible, are we all going to die thinking about fasting?" ”

"Mrs. Jin is jealous, and the seventh master is not here, so she must be desperately torturing a few of us. But now that the Seventh Master knows our situation, when he comes back, he will definitely stand out for us. ”

"Mama, don't be stupid! Look at Mrs. Zhen's attitude towards her aunt, do you care about it? You still think that the seventh master will come out for us, but don't make Madame angry first, just serve the four of us in one pot. ”

"She dares!"

"She dared to ask someone to chop off your fingers, what else would she not dare? I have heard, husband, killed seventeen people with a rod in one go, and these, seven people, all related to my aunt. ”

Mama Jin was silent, and in the end, she only sighed deeply and staggered back to take care of Shen Miaolian.
