Chapter 211: Provocation from the Outer Chamber
After walking for most of the day, they finally arrived at the Hanshui Temple before it was completely dark.
The subordinate hurriedly asked where he wanted to find the person, and soon inquired about the place. The monks in the temple don't know how to say, but now where is the use of asking monks, any person who comes to worship the Buddha knows where Dr. Su lives, and the third prince of Qi naturally lives next to Dr. Su, which is convenient for the doctor to see.
The young woman with a small child, no one thought they were in danger, and when the guards questioned her, she said that she was Tsang's sister, and the man went to inform Tsang's grandmother.
When Mama came out, she saw a young woman holding a child of two or three years old.
The two of them described themselves as embarrassed, as if they were walking up the mountain rather than riding in a carriage, but the woman was richly dressed, with precious fabrics and headdresses, and she carried in her hands a valuable gift that looked at it.
The boy looked like he was three years old, and he was not afraid of seeing a stranger for the first time, but had some arrogance.
"You-"
"I'm here to see my sister."
"Madame has found the wrong person." Their lady's maiden sister was not of this age, nor was she like this.
The grandmother turned around and was about to leave, but the woman hurriedly said, "Zeng is my sister."
"What did you say?" Mama skeptical of her ears and turned to look at her.
"Who is it?" Zeng Shi saw movement at the door, so he asked.
While the woman was in her trance, she had already led the child around her and stepped through the door.
"I've seen my sister, sister, I'm Lin, this is the master's youngest son."
Zeng's eyes widened, and he looked straight at the person in front of him.
One big and one small, the big one was talking, but she didn't seem to understand.
Mama reacted, came back from the door, and said, "Madam, they have found the wrong person."
She really thinks so.
The woman didn't care what Mama said, and she didn't care about her wanting to invite her out, but she asked familiarly, "How is Brother Xian? I heard what the lord said, he said that he went back to the capital to see you, he was supposed to bring us back together, but Brother Nian would vomit in the car, we couldn't go fast, the lord could only come over by himself first, please don't blame my sister!"
"That's right, this is a gift I brought over, there is wild ginseng in it, it is a good tonic, my sister must be tired these days, her face is so bad, I will boil you porridge and put a few slices, the spirit will recover soon, my lord likes to eat that."
Last time, when our nephew passed through Kuoxi Mansion, I asked him to bring some back, but the other party was polite to me, and lo and behold, this time it can be used!"
"Who is your master?" Zeng asked. This woman knew Brother Xian's name, and she had to pay attention.
"What did Madame say? My lord is Madame's lord, the prefect of Kuoxi Mansion, and the second lord of Xinguo Mansion, we will be a family in the future, my lord should have said it, I know, but Madame has never seen us." The old man didn't want to say that it didn't matter, she said it herself.
Lin felt that this step was extremely right, and this Zeng family looked weak.
Her eldest brother is right, the eldest sister-in-law above the Zeng family is the Duchess of the Kingdom, and she will definitely be a powerful character, and the second lady must have a soft temperament, otherwise it is easy to be uneasy in the back house.
She has the confidence to handle Tsang.
Zeng's thunder thundered like five thunders, and at this time, Brother Xian, whose eyes were closed, moved slightly, opened his mouth and said weakly "water".
This was Qi Yunxian's first reaction since the injury.
Zeng's eyes lit up, and he lowered his head and stroked Brother Xian while instructing, "Mama, let the people of the prince arrange for them to stay."
After Zeng's finished speaking, he personally picked up the kettle on the coffee table and poured water, and personally fed it to Qi Yunxian's mouth, ignoring them more.
When Lin entered the house and saw Qi Yunxian lying down, he knew that although he was not dead, the situation was not optimistic, and as he heard the news, he said that he had not woken up.
And as long as she is in the capital, she can make him even less optimistic when he is not optimistic.
But just now, Qi Yunxian moved and spoke, that is, there is a possibility of waking up.
Moreover, Zeng is extremely serious
arranged for her to live and where to live, and didn't say any details, and she said so much in vain before she got such a little response.
She didn't want to go out, but Mama had a lot of strength and dragged her out directly, she screamed, and Mama covered her mouth.
Mama covered her mouth with one hand and dragged people with the other, so she didn't pay attention to the child. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, the child ran to Qi Yunxian's side, raised his hand and patted it down-
No one expected a three-year-old child to do this, until they heard a crisp "pop", and Zeng and the others reacted.
Although this slap was not heavy, it was enough to make Lu angry.
"Where did you come from, get out of here, Madame Ben."
Mama and Lin, who had already walked to the door, were also startled, but Mama didn't let go, Lin wanted to take the child to her side, but she didn't let it.
Mama stopped, and saw Tsang walking to the door with the child's collar, throwing it out, and saying, "Someone."
One of the men trotted over, "Keep these two in my custody."
Lin broke Mama's hand that was covering her mouth with both hands, and said loudly, "Sister, you don't have the right to do this, what is it called to take custody, do you want to put us under house arrest?"
"Mama, go and tell the prince that these two people intend to be unfavorable to Brother Xian, and they must be strictly guarded. Also, sister is not something you can call, please call me madam."
"Madam, Brother Nian is only three years old, what does he know? He didn't treat Brother Xian badly, he just wanted to see his brother, that was his concern for his brother, please don't treat us as prisoners."
"Smack!" Zeng rewarded Lin with a crisp and loud slap.
"Look, this slap is not called disadvantageous, but cares for you, and teaches you for your good."
"You—"
Is this the weak and harmless second lady that the eldest brother said?
Zeng turned around and slammed the door shut.
"Master, I want to see the master, go and help me call Second Master Qi."
She came to the capital secretly, although the lord was reluctant to bring her and Brother Nian, but she came, the lord has always been good to her, she doesn't believe that the lord will bear to watch her and her son being put under house arrest as prisoners.
She didn't expect Zeng to be so tough, the news that the eldest brother heard was not like this, saying that Zeng was a woman who had no opinions.
She didn't want to think about it, how could a woman from a noble family marry into the Xinguo Mansion not as good as a commoner's daughter in terms of temperament?
Those who are willing to be courteous will get her courtesy. If she provokes her, she won't even tolerate the Duchess of the Kingdom! Just look at her before she dared to report to the official.
"You're joking, Second Master Qi is what you want to see? Just now, because of my carelessness, I let you break into the house and disturb Madame, and now I can't take you to see the second master anymore."
"You are presumptuous, you are just a subordinate, how can you do this to me? I'm the second master's man."
"What are you? It's not even a concubine, even if it's a concubine, it's still a subordinate."
Concubines serve their husbands and mothers.
Lin's anger, what she hates most is that others say that she is an outer room, which is worse than a concubine. Although this grandmother didn't say it directly, she heard it: "It's okay if you don't let me see the second master, let me see the son."
"You have a friendship with the prince?" From her words just now, Mama can know that the prince and Mrs. Shizi have just gone to Kuoxi, and they only have one side of the relationship with her at most, can the relationship of one side be used as an arrow?
"We have a very good relationship, Mrs. Shizi, by the way, isn't Mrs. Shizi also injured? Take me to see her. I heard that it was Mrs. Shizi who saved Brother Xian, I have to thank her well, or else ......."
Mama was speechless: Why did the second master provoke this brainless man? It's okay if you don't have a brain, Mrs. is kind-hearted and disdainful of competing with these people, if there is a brain, I'm afraid Mrs. will have to bother.
The prince left many guards in the Hanshui Temple, and the grandmother called a few and ordered them to take the two of them to a certain courtyard to see.
"You can live in a good place in the capital without spending money, you can be content."
"Am I the one who lives in the capital without money?
I don't want you to take care of it, I'll go out and live by myself." Only freedom can lead her to her next opportunity.
How do I behave when I am watched?
"She intends to hurt the little boy, she is a dangerous person, you have to take care of it."
"Yes!"
"Where are you taking me? Are you going to the Prince's Mansion?"
The guards didn't speak, but the coercion made her uncomfortable.
No matter how hard Lin struggled, it couldn't change the reality that she was about to be taken care of. She tried to run away many times, but in front of the guards of the Shinkoku Mansion, she was simply a caged bird, and she had no power to resist.
For the first time, she also felt the power of the Guogong Mansion, which was unimaginable to ordinary people. This strengthened her determination to marry into the Guogong Mansion.
I heard that Mrs. Shizi is just a businesswoman, she can be Mrs. Shizi, but she can't be the second lady?
Even if you are a concubine, the concubines of the Guogong Mansion are also superior.
"You have to be respectful to me, if you let the second master know that you treat me like this, you are good-looking."
These people are all slaves, the second master is the master, and cleaning up a slave is not like pinching an ant to death?
At this time, the Lin family, who failed to escape, pinned their hopes on the second master of Qi.
When the old man returned to Kuoxi and found that she was gone, he would ask her eldest brother, and he would know that when she arrived in the capital, he would definitely come to her, and maybe he would let her enter the mansion.
In fact, after the second master Qi asked the answer from the suspect's mouth, he saw that Brother Xian was okay for the time being, so he went back to Kuoxi, he only took two days off, and he had to calculate the time spent on the road, and the time spent on the fast horse had been shortened a lot, but he stayed in the capital for less than twelve hours.
Moreover, he knew that he was going to go back to solve it, but he didn't expect it to be that person.
It's just that he didn't see the Lin family when he returned to Kuoxi, and after thinking about it, he guessed where she went, and soon he received news from the capital, confirming that the Lin family had indeed arrived in the capital.
He didn't have to think about it to know what the Lin family was going to do, his heart tightened, and he returned to Beijing again.
When he arrived in the suburbs of Beijing, he learned from the guards that the Lin family had been placed under house arrest in a certain courtyard, but he did not go there, but went to the Hanshui Temple first.
"Ma'am."
Second Master Qi pushed open the door of the meditation room where Brother Xian was.
At this time, Zeng was wiping Brother Xian's face with a towel. Mama only played on the sidelines.
All along, Zeng's care for Brother Xian has been like this, saying that they are not biological mother and son, no one believes it.
"The master is back."
A faint sentence, no surprise, no surprise, the second master knows.
Mama went out with a very eyed look.
"You...... You know all about it?"
"How long does the master want to hide from me?"
