Two days later, Haitang learned from Zhou Yijun's letter that Mrs. Tang finally met Mrs. Ma, who had been thinking about her for a long time.

Although Mrs. Tang was scolded by her husband's in-laws, and after the future affairs passed, she was likely to lose the power of the middle feed, temporarily cultivate her self-cultivation, and "call her sick" for a few years, but her greatest wish at present was still satisfied. Under the coordination of the Duchess of Zhenguo, Mrs. Tuesday and Mrs. Thursday accompanied Mrs. Tang into the west courtyard of the Zhou family's three rooms, and then the latter met Mrs. Ma alone.

Mrs. Ma had actually heard the news that Mrs. Tang wanted to see her several times but was refused, and now that she saw her, she didn't feel strange, just that she had finally persuaded Zhou Ma.

Faced with Mrs. Tang's question, she also answered very calmly: she didn't know much about the two nurturing grandmothers, only knew that they were originally old palace people from Concubine Zhang Gongfei's palace, and they had served in the palace of the former emperor Zhang De in their early years, and they were transferred by Concubine Zhang De to their niece Zhang Gongfei. However, they had a mediocre status in Concubine Zhang Gong's palace, and they were not very important, and due to old age and weakness, they could no longer wait for their masters, so they were sent out of the palace.

They have no relatives and no reason in the capital, and originally wanted to go to the Zhang family to care for the elderly, but the Zhang family has produced three generations of concubines in succession, and the nurturing grandmothers invited by the family are all retired women of the six-grade palace, and they can't look down on these two old palace people who have no products, so they will think of going to places outside the capital to make a living.

During that time, Zhou Shuyi was trying to find a reliable upbringing for her daughter, and these two took the initiative to recommend themselves, but they were not taken a fancy - Zhou Shuyi had already found a more desirable candidate first. It's just that these two grandmothers came out of Concubine Zhang Gong's palace, and it would be too bad for the Zhang family to refuse directly. It happened that the Tang family wanted to invite someone, so Zhou Shuyi recommended them to her mother and asked her mother, Mrs. Ma, to receive the favor of the Tang family.

Mrs. Ma confidently said that she didn't know what was a spy or not, and the Zhang family could still plant a spy in the Jiangmen family in Chang'an City? Then it's not the Sun family's pot. King An, who was born to Concubine Zhang De, is still there, and he is still one of the princes of the clan that the emperor fears the most, maybe he wants to fight the idea of military power in the northwest?

She suggested that Mrs. Tang should quickly report this matter to the court, so that the court could issue an order to punish King An and the Zhang family.

Mrs. Tang was so angry that her face turned red and she couldn't say a word.

She knew she was being taken advantage of!

King An, the grandson of the older generation of the Zhang family, is now a powerless prince of the clan, and his presence in the capital is not as good as that of King Ji, who succeeded a prince as his heir, what kind of military power can he want? ! Concubine Zhang De is still in the harem watching the face of the Empress Dowager Zhou, where does the Zhang family dare to make trouble in Chang'an City, the territory of the Zhou family? ! It's just a shield for the Sun family.

Even if those two nurturing grandmothers really came out of Concubine Zhang Gong's palace, it doesn't mean that they are from the Zhang family. Don't look at Concubine Zhang Gong gave birth to two princesses, but she has fallen out of favor for many years, and she can only obey Sun Guifei in the palace. The two retired palace people under her who are not allowed to be reused, the Sun family borrowed them, and she did not dare to refuse. Besides, these two grandmothers are so proficient in inquiring about intelligence, maybe they were originally from the Sun family! Otherwise, why didn't the palace people who Concubine Zhang De transferred to her niece under Concubine Zhang Gong not even mix up the nine products? retired from the palace, and the Zhang family refused to accept it? This is enough to show that they are not treated by Concubine Zhang Gong and her mother's family.

If the Tang family really believed Mrs. Ma's words and sued King An and the Zhang family, in the end, it would only be King An and the Zhang family who would suffer, and there would be no hindrance to the Sun family and the Prince of Ji who the Sun family currently supports, but it may offend the royal family because of wronging people, and pull new hatred for the Empress Dowager Zhou and the Zhou family, and it is not conducive to the emperor establishing the eighth prince of the former maid of the Empress Dowager Zhou as the prince.

After all, although the Tang family is also a famous Jiangmen family, in the minds of the powerful people in the capital, it exists as the image of "the in-laws of the Zhou family". The Tang family offended people, and the other party naturally wanted to be angry with the Zhou family. Can they recognize who the Tang family is?

Mrs. Tang walked out of the west courtyard in a rage. Mrs. Tuesday and Mrs. Thursday, who had been staying outside the house to observe, followed up, and they also understood her depression, so they had to try their best to explain her: "The third uncle and grandmother are just recommenders, and they may not really know the details of those two grandmothers, so let's go to the capital and ask Aunt Shuyi about it, right?" ”

Mrs. Tang gritted her teeth: "Zhou Shuyi herself has been fooled by the Sun family, what can she know?!" It's just that the Sun family is a demon who is one foot taller, and he has calculated our Tang family! This time, we didn't take precautions ourselves, and fell for his family's plan, but they don't think that this little trick can hold us. When the Tang family was fighting wits and courage with the Hu people on the battlefield, their Sun family didn't know which countryside to farm! ”

She threw up her sleeves and left, and Mrs. Thursday wanted to catch up and persuade again, but was stopped by Mrs. Tuesday: "Forget it, she has been frightened a lot these days, let her be angry." No matter who you are, you can't help but be angry after being fooled like this for a few years. Mrs. Tuesday's face was gloomy, and she was also very angry in her heart, "If my brother can really enter Beijing to take up a post, he will definitely not be able to spare the Sun family!" ”

Mrs. Thursday's expression was a little strange, and she stopped talking. Mrs. Tuesday didn't pay attention, she only looked back at Mrs. Ma in the house, and then pulled her away.

Even if Mrs. Ma used to be an elder she respected, now she has completely become a traitor to the hatred of the Zhou and Tang families. Even if Zhou Shigong and Zhou Ma want to be filial sons and daughters-in-law, she can't tolerate it.

So Zhou Ma's side received a hint from Changfangtang's niece and daughter-in-law, saying that she didn't need to be so good to the "sick" old lady Ma, and the daily supply was still maintained at the living standard before the latter was imprisoned. Where do patients get so many good things? She just needs to stay in bed to recuperate, and all those good things are cheap for the Diao slaves around her! These Diao slaves are not good at waiting for patients, and after such a long time, they have not seen the condition of Mrs. Ma improve, so it can be seen that they are all waste! How can waste be worthy of good food and drink? It is only right to quickly drive people to Zhuangzi and leave a truly loyal and reliable servant to take care of Mrs. Ma.

Zhou Ma's face was strange, and he discussed it with his granddaughter Zhou Yijun in private, and then went to find her husband Zhou Shigong. Neither husband nor wife knew what to do. Did Mrs. Changfang's hint on Tuesday get the permission of the couple of Zhenguogong? Do they listen, or do they not?

Anyway, within two days, there were rumors on both sides of the Zhenguo Mansion and the Tang family, saying that Mrs. Ma was old, and her spirit was not as good as before, and she was accused of building a private workshop. Relatives and friends are worried that she won't survive this year, and they are now sending supplements to her, and comforted Zhou Shigong, asking him not to be too sad, and asked him if he wants to recall his younger brother Zhou Shicheng back to Chang'an, just in case?

Zhou Shigong received the comfort and gifts from the clansmen, but he felt confused. He also went to the West Courtyard to meet Mrs. Ma, only to make sure that she was not bedridden, what happened to the rumors from the Changfang and the Tang family? Now even the old lady in the fourteenth room did not scold people through the courtyard wall anymore, but sent the steward to ask him if he wanted to prepare the coffin and white supplies in advance, so as not to be in a hurry when he wanted to do things? After all, Mrs. Ma's funeral is definitely a major event in their third room!

Zhou Yijun wrote a letter to Haitang again, and secretly guessed in the letter that the Zhenguo Mansion and the Tang family should not want to send Mrs. Ma on the road directly, right? She has not only harmed the third room of the Zhou family over the years, but even the Tang family, the in-laws of the long house, have also harmed her, no wonder people hate her!

It's just that Zhou Shigong and Zhou Ma are still entangled. They are not ruthless people in the first place, and they don't know what to do in the face of the hints of their relatives......
