Chapter 180: Killing People and Killing Mouths
Xin Nian couldn't help but smile: "I really can't hide anything from the prince. Sister Gu too, they all said that there is no diamond don't do porcelain work, she is good, neither bold nor careful, but she also likes to inquire and pass on news. She just came to me, that is, Mama Tian was kicked out."
"So that's what happened, so I said, there must be a reason for coming so early."
Xin Nian personally took the tea and handed it to Gu Changting, and said softly, "Why? I thought left and right, it's not something you can do, it's too unsparing."
"That old pious woman is too vicious, instigating her master, and not doing any good deeds, and keeping it will be a scourge after all."
"The concubine didn't annoy you?"
Xin Nian was so curious, in the face of Gu Changting, who was so strong and advancing step by step, would Concubine Liao continue to endure it? Is the sun going to come out in the west?
Gu Changting didn't speak for a long time, so Xin Nian knew the answer: "It's really not easy, right? I'll just say that you are doing it again and again, and the concubine can't be so good at letting you go."
"If there are poisonous sores on the body, just don't move, and if you do, you must remove the pus, blood, and carrion at one time, so that there will be no future troubles. In this way, the pain of the moment is nothing."
Gu Changting turned to look at Xin Nian: "Don't worry, I will carry it when the sky falls. You can help the third sister and Lychee prepare for marriage, considering that Zhao Chu and Yanhui are in the limelight now, you have to bother."
"I know." Xin Nian smiled slightly: "Don't be too public, let alone be simplistic. Anyway, it's a double blessing."
"Hmm."
Gu Changting was very relieved to see that she wanted to go with him, and he held Xin Nian's hand and said softly, "The nature of the country is easy to change, and it is difficult to change. Now it seems that Jia Ru is an unbearable use, you have to pay more attention to the affairs in the palace in the future, the minions dare to have those who do not obey orders, while the prince's mansion is not yet thirty years old, they have not become a climate, in other words, you must not care too much, and a group of slaves are used to coming out."
"I know. You see that I am not even used to children, let alone Diao slaves? I'm the best at dealing with Diao slaves."
Xin Nian was calm on the surface, but his heart was pounding, like a drum.
When she first entered the backyard that day, she watched the situation in the house coldly, and also made a grand wish to take over the power of the housekeeper, but at that time, she also knew that this was an impossible task at all.
Who knows that the world is unpredictable, but after two years, he is only one step away from this ambition.
As the saying goes, if you go too far, you can stop in moderation. I now have most of the power in the house, and there is only an empty shelf left on my grandmother's side, so it's almost the same, and if I continue to be greedy, the concubine will die and fight back, and it's not fun.
Thinking of Concubine Liao, Xin Nian was angry and helpless in her heart, mixed with a little cold.
As the saying goes, people are not as good as heaven, she tried her best to set up a dead end for Concubine Liao, but God didn't help, and now she let her escape when she saw it. There have been a lot of things going on for a while, and Gu Changting has not relaxed step by step, so that Concubine Liao and the Liao family are in chaos, and they can't care about anything else. Once you let them rest, don't you hate yourself even more? If it fights back, it will be vicious, but at that time, how can we prevent it? I'm afraid that I can't prevent it.
The more she thought about it, the more headache she felt, so after Gu Changting left, Xin Nian silently crooked on the couch and pondered, and I don't know how long it took, when she suddenly heard the clock ring a few times outside the house, she got up from the couch and asked outside, "What time is it?" Isn't it almost noon? Yaya hasn't ...... yet."
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly heard a voice in the courtyard screaming and shouting, "Auntie, auntie, it's not good."
"What's wrong?"
Xin Nian's heart tightened, and he hurriedly got up and walked a few steps to the door, only to see the golden needle running over with a snort, stopping in front of her, bending down and panting, while intermittently saying, "Green leaves...... Green leaves...... She...... Auntie, Green Leaf is dead."
"What?"
Xin Nian's hands clenched into fists violently, and he said sharply, "When did it happen? Isn't she in the laundry room? If there is no shadow, don't spread the word, especially don't let the six boys know."
Jin Zhen smiled bitterly, "My aunt, who dares to spread such nonsense? Absolutely true...... Slaves...... The slave even went over to take a look, and it was indeed a green leaf
。」
It seems that the old goddess really did it, is she so impatient? Knowing that there was a lot of noise in the house at this time, why didn't she have any scruples?
"Auntie?" Jin Needle saw that Xin Nian's face was a little pale, and he couldn't help but blame himself: "It's all slaves and maids who are reckless, and they scared my aunt. The slave and maid also heard someone say in the garden, so they ran over to look at it, and found that it was really a green leaf, and for a moment they were panicked......
Xin Nian raised his hand to stop Jin Zhen from continuing, and after thinking about it for a while, Fang said in a deep voice, "Don't tell the young master and the girl about this, and no one is allowed to spread it in the courtyard."
"Yes."
Jin Zhen agreed, listened to the master sigh, and muttered, "In the end, she served Yaya and Liuzai, but I am afraid that she will be sad when she knows about it in the future." Yes, it's good, why did it die? Tell me what it was like when you saw her?"
"I heard that I fell into the dry well, and when I fished it up, my face was white, but it was not swollen, and the slave and maid took a look at it, and almost didn't frighten to death, so I hurried back to report it."
The golden needle caressed his heart, and after speaking, he sighed and said, "This man is really a blessing and a curse. When I first came to my aunt's side, the green leaves were clearly not this character, at that time, I and the red leaves and willows and her, among the four of us, she was the most clever and good-natured, kind, and laughed before speaking, so I was able to serve the young master and girl later. Who knew that the young master and girl liked her later, so she gradually became proud, not only was she impatient with us at every turn, but even her aunt dared to contradict her. I heard that even if I went to the laundry room, I refused to give in, and said that I would go out one day. I talked to Momiji about her yesterday, how do you know that people will ...... today?"
As he spoke, his eyes turned red. Xin Nian said lightly: "Don't be too sad, after all, this is her life." That's it, how can I say that she is also her master, she has no relatives in the house, you send a mother-in-law to talk to Steward Cao and say, let me pay five taels of silver to the account room, and I will pay another five taels, so I will bury her. In the future, once the six boys know about it, I will also have an explanation."
"Yes." The golden needle nodded and turned to go. Here Xin Nian closed his eyes, let out a long sigh of relief, and muttered to himself, "Another human life. Concubine Niangniang, count for yourself, how many lives have you carried on your body? God really doesn't have eyes? Otherwise, why would you be allowed to live?"
The green leaves were obviously killed by Concubine Liao, listening to the narration of the golden needle, the person has not yet soaked, it should have been killed yesterday, but the concubine probably didn't expect to be discovered so soon.
