Wu Qiong, as a female dependent, was soon sent to the upper room of the Hai family's main courtyard to rest and bandage.

When she was sent into the door by Aunt Cui and Aunt Ma, the housekeeper's wife, she also heard the head of the Hai family, Ma, admonishing her granddaughter Haitang in the house: "I can stand you!" Dare to climb over the wall to enter the house, and still run around the wall, you dare to jump down so high, and you are not afraid of falling to death?! There are only seven or eight bad guys who come, and you cut three of them. Why are you so capable? It wouldn't be possible without you, would it?! ”

Haitang has already done everything that should be done and what should not be done anyway, and there is no need to quarrel with her grandmother at this time, so she lowered her eyebrows and lowered her head in a well-behaved manner: "I won't dare next time, grandma don't be angry." ”

"Do you dare to have a next time?!" Ma slapped the table vigorously, "The Hai family is a big family, you give a little to Esiwen!" As long as it's not the enemy hitting the door, you are not allowed to use a knife to cut people again! ”

So when the enemy hits the door, he can still use a knife to cut people, just like today, right?

Begonia resisted the urge to snicker and obediently responded.

Aunt Cui cleared her throat by the door: "Madam, Miss Wu is here." ”

Ma Shi hurriedly sat upright, and raised his voice slightly: "Please come in and sit." ”

The two housekeepers helped Wu Qiong into the house, and the latter saluted Ma's, was helped up by Ma's, and sat down on the side of the kang. Haitang took the medicine box, Ma personally treated Wu Qiong's wounds, wrapped them in clean cloth, and asked her granddaughter to take a new set of clean dresses to change into for her.

The Hai family was very polite and took good care of Wu Qiong. The wound has been treated, the clothes have been changed, the tea and snacks have been served, and the peace letter has also been reported to the Zhenguo Mansion, but Wu Qiong is still very uneasy. She still remembered what her mother Mrs. Gui had said in front of the Sun family's minions, and Zhou Xuejun had heard it, and she must have told the rest of the Zhou family at this time. Will Begonia know? Today, the Hai family will be broken into the door by gangsters, it can be said that it is all caused by the wife, and the Hai family really has no grudge in their hearts?

She remembers what Haitang said in the gate of the courtyard, as well as the situation when Mr. Xie Wenzai, the protégé of his grandfather, refused to exchange Jin Jiashu for her life in front of "Cai Ye". No matter what others say, she knows in her heart that the Hai family and Xie Wenzai will not look at her differently because she is the granddaughter of Duke Wu Wen'an. After today, the Hai family will definitely regard their mother and daughter as enemies, but the Hai family's wife and Haitang still take care of her meticulously and thoughtfully, how can she have the face to face them?

Compared with the kindness and benevolence of the Hai family, Mrs. Gui seems to be compared everywhere, which is simply a discredit to the ancestors of the Wu family!

Wu Qiong sat on the edge of the kang with her head down, only to feel that she had no face to see people.

Although Ma was very polite and cordial to Wu Qiong, it was just for the sake of the Zhou family. After placing the people, she didn't bother to spend any more time socializing, so she only let her granddaughter accompany Wu Qiong and go out to deal with housework by herself.

"Cai Ye" suddenly brought someone to the door, and an accomplice climbed the wall to come in and toss, the house was damaged furniture, flowers and trees, the old people and children in the family, and the male and female servants and women were frightened, and she needed to be appeased and dealt with.

She took Aunt Cui and Aunt Ma away, leaving the grapes to be dispatched. However, Haitang just sat across the kang table from Wu Qiong in the middle, Wu Qiong bowed her head and said nothing, so she kept observing Wu Qiong.

Wu Qiong was uncomfortable, and plucked up the courage to call her: "Hai...... Sea Maiden...... I can't stand it today......"

"Are you saying that your mother told the news of Brother Jin in our family to the minions of the Sun family?" Haitang hit a straight ball with one mouth, "That incident is indeed your mother's fault, you shouldn't have spoken, right?" ”

Wu Qiong was shocked by her words: "I...... I didn't ...... No...... I don't even know ......."

Haitang didn't care that she didn't belong at this time, and asked further: "How did your mother know so many secrets?" Jin Jiashu lived in our house, and only a few people in the Zhenguo Mansion knew about it. How did your mother find out? If it was because she found out that my brother had entered the house disguised as Zhou Yijun, but my brother didn't see her? Zhou Yijun once complained to my brother, saying that he didn't know how your mother got into his room, and he didn't even notice the people in the house. Can your mother still fly away? ”

"I ...... I don't know......" Wu Qiong turned her gaze away with a flickering gaze.

Haitang knew at a glance that she must know the inside story: "Could it be that your mother bought the descendants of the Zhenguo Mansion?" Or did you find some secret passage in the Zhenguo Mansion? Your mother and you were taken to Chang'an by the Zhou family, and the daily supplies are all good, where did the Zhou family treat you badly? You are a guest in someone else's house, and you are bribing the master's subordinates, and you are secretly lurking to find out the secrets, what are you thinking? Could it be that the Empress Dowager Zhou took you into the palace back then, and the Chengenhou Mansion has hidden you for so many years, but she actually raised a white-eyed wolf? Who are you trying to calculate by quietly tossing so much! ”

"No, no, no!" Wu Qiongke couldn't bear this, and hurriedly defended, "Neither my mother nor I meant that, Miss Hai, don't misunderstand!" ”

Because she was worried that Haitang would misunderstand and feel ashamed, Wu Qiong, who was in a state of confusion, squeaked and confessed some of her mother's secrets.

For example, she heard that many of the servants in the Zhenguo Mansion had served the Duchess of Wu Wen'an, Wu Zhou, or had received the favor of Wu Zhou, so she used the banner of her late mother-in-law to win over some people. Although the other party will not betray the main family for the descendants of Wu Zhou, sometimes in some unimportant small things, he is also willing to provide a little convenience for Mrs. Gui's mother and daughter. As far as Wu Qiong knows, there are three examples of this kind of small convenience: one is the hidden path that the people under the Zhenguo Mansion are used to taking in order to facilitate shortcuts, the second is that they occasionally reveal the thoughts and preferences of the masters to Mrs. Gui, and the third is that the coachman of the four-room Zhou family is willing to help Mrs. Gui's mother and daughter hide their whereabouts when they go out.

Another example is that Mrs. Gui has lived in seclusion in Cining Palace for many years, but she has been trapped in the small courtyard for a long time, and she can't bear it, so she learned some skills from the palace people, and knows how to walk in the palace without being noticed. Relying on this ability back then, she had sneaked out of Cining Palace more than once to breathe. However, this matter could not be concealed from the Empress Dowager Zhou. The sixth prince died unexplained, and she was suspected by the Empress Dowager Zhou because of this. Empress Dowager Zhou was afraid that she would burden herself, so she quickly contacted Cheng Enhou and his wife and sent them out of the palace.

Wu Qiong didn't know much about her mother's secrets, and she didn't think there was anything wrong with her, but after saying these words, she also felt as if something was wrong, and couldn't help crying: "My mother really doesn't have a bad heart...... The affairs of the six princes have nothing to do with my mother, that's ...... It's made of pomegranate flowers! The Queen Mother should also know that it is ......"

Begonia blinked: "Who is the pomegranate flower?" ”

Wu Qiong bit her lip and lowered her head: "It's the palace maid of the queen's mother...... Kunning Palace was on fire, and she escaped...... The Queen Mother took them in......"

Begonia understood. It turned out that when Concubine Xu Xian escaped from the fire in Kunning Palace, she really had companions, and she was still the palace maid by the queen's side. The two of them stayed in Cining Palace as palace people and were protected by the Empress Dowager Zhou. Concubine Xu Xian had just entered the palace and had no other thoughts in her heart, but this pomegranate flower probably held a grudge against Sun Guifei, who killed the mother and son of the late lord Empress Wu, which led to the death of the sixth prince......

Of course, Empress Dowager Zhou couldn't say this kind of thing. Whether it was Gui or Pomegranate who killed the six princes, they were all the people protected by the Empress Dowager Zhou, and the emperor would be resentful when he knew it.

Haitang didn't ask any further, only showed curiosity: "You have lived in Cining Palace for so many years, you should know Concubine Xu Xian, right?" Does your mother have a bad relationship with her? She knew where Concubine Xu Xian's nephew was, so why did she tell the Sun family's minions about it? ”
