Haitang's letter was sent, and it took two days before Wu Qiong heard back.

During this period, Zhou Xuejun has sent three letters.

Wu Qiong probably also felt very embarrassed, obviously Haitang reminded her to inquire about this matter, it has been several days, but she has not made progress for a long time, as if she has disappointed the expectations of her new friends, and she repeatedly compensated in the letter.

She has lived a very fulfilling life these days, except for breakfast every day, there is basically no time to sit with her mother and Mrs. Gui, so the time she can talk is greatly reduced. But now Mrs. Gui would call her over every night, despite her tiredness, and ask her what she had learned, who she had met, and what she had experienced that day...... So it's not like she can't really squeeze out time to ask her mother for news. It's just that Mrs. Gui dominates the conversation very strongly every night, and after answering her mother's questions, she is always in a low mood, and can't think of anything else.

After being reminded by Haitang again this time, she finally found an opportunity to ask her mother Mrs. Gui if she was dissatisfied with Concubine Xu Xian, otherwise how could she take the initiative to betray Concubine Xu Xian's nephew in front of the villains, and she didn't apologize afterwards?

Mrs. Gui seemed to be very unimpressed by her daughter's questions. She thought that she betrayed Concubine Xu Xian's nephew Jin Jiashu to Sun Cai and others for the sake of the safety of the mother and daughter. As long as she can stop the gangsters from hurting her daughter, she should betray anyone. Who told her not to know more secrets of the Zhou family? took out the information that Zhou Yijun might pretend to be injured to escape from the border, and it was impossible to interest the minions of the Sun family, and she didn't know the handle of the Northwest Frontier Army, so she could only sacrifice Jin Jiashu, who she had just guessed the whereabouts of. During her years in the capital, she has heard of Sun Guifei's jealousy of Concubine Xu Xian. can take Concubine Xu Xian's hostage, and the Sun family will definitely be interested. If Sun Cai had more valuable hostages, and threw their mother and daughter to the side of the road, wouldn't they be saved?

Mrs. Gui didn't think that she had done anything wrong, but thought that her nephew Wu Ke had too many things, and even took it upon herself to come forward to apologize to the Hai family on her behalf! The Hai family is just a seven-rank petty eunuch family, so which card can it be regarded as a person on the card? What is there to apologize for? Xie Wenzai is also an old protégé who was abandoned by her father-in-law before his death, even if he became Wu Ke's teacher, he was just an old tanhua more than 30 years ago, and he was not even a serious Confucian master, but there was no decent famous teacher in Chang'an, and he had the Zhenguo Mansion as a guarantee, so he became the teacher of the Wu family's children. If Mrs. Gui hadn't been in the way of pretending to be sick, she would never have let Wu Ke worship such a teacher!

There are also old Confucians in the Gui family, and when they return to the capital in the future, let Wu Ke worship this old Confucian as a teacher, which is the same, and it can also make Wu Men complain less about returning home. As long as those Wu Sect old students still have some respect for Wu Wen'an Gong in their hearts, they should not have any more complaints about the family of the only surviving grandson of the Wu family!

If it weren't for the Sun family's staring too closely in the capital, Mrs. Gui would have wanted to promote this matter a long time ago, but she was always trapped in the back house of the Chengenhou Mansion and couldn't do anything. When she arrived in Chang'an, she was able to go out freely, but her family couldn't follow her. She can only hope that the Sun family will be unlucky as soon as possible, and her family can return to the capital as soon as possible, and then the Wu family will be back on the right track.

Mrs. Gui chattered like this for a long time, full of dissatisfaction with her nephew Wu Ke, and disdain for Xie Wenzai and the Hai family. Wu Qiong endured very hard, only to resist the urge to refute her mother, and when Mrs. Gui stopped talking, she immediately returned to the topic - what she wanted to ask was Mrs. Gui's opinion on Concubine Xu Xian.

Mrs. Gui was about to talk about the excitement, and she was defenseless, and replied casually, "What can I think of her?" She was not very beautiful, she was not young, she was not a famous lady, and her talent was not outstanding, but she knew how to serve people, and she didn't know what the emperor liked about her, so she insisted on accepting her as a concubine despite the opposition of the Queen Mother! also let her give birth to a prince! Even if she lived a lonely life in the first half of her life, she can enjoy a lifetime of glory and wealth in the future, it is worth it! Such a good life...... It's really infuriating! ”

Mrs. Gui had an interest in talking, and she had less scruples when she spoke, and began to recall the past with her daughter, saying that when she lived in Cining Palace in the past, how cold and rude the palace people were, and the queen mother often saw her once in March and May, and only cared about Wu Ke's food and clothing homework, and when Wu Ke was seven years old, he specially picked people up, and he didn't know where to live. Because there is no Wu Ke, their mother and daughter's food and clothing are one level worse, and they can't go out to breathe.

At that time, the palace man sent by the Queen Mother to send messages to their mother and daughter was an old palace maid of a certain age, with a mean face and taciturn, no matter what she asked or inquired, she refused to answer. She wanted to ask for some pastime gadgets to pass the time, but the other party always refused, and taught her a lesson with a straight face, saying that the Queen Mother had sealed the palace, and whenever there was something that should not be in Cining Palace, it would attract the attention of Sun Guifei and let her be honest. How rude is that?! Mrs. Gui thinks about it now, and she can't help but want to lose her temper.

Later, the old palace people fell ill, and the people who sent things and messengers were replaced by pomegranate flowers, and occasionally Xu Gong people. The attitude of these two people is more amiable than that of the old palace people, but Mrs. Gui also dislikes them.

Pomegranate is an old person by Empress Wu's side. Empress Wu and the third prince died tragically in the fire of Kunning Palace, how could the pomegranate flower escape? Still cheeky to stay in Cining Palace to survive?! She should have been martyred!

Therefore, Mrs. Gui always couldn't help but talk about the former Empress Wu's mother and son in front of Pomegranate Flower, and always provoked the hatred in Pomegranate Flower's heart, and instigated her to avenge the old master......

Mrs. Gui recalled the past and couldn't help sighing: "I was a little impulsive at that time, who told them to hide the truth from me...... Later, the sixth prince had an accident, and the pomegranate burned himself, the body was unrecognizable, making it unrecognizable, leaving an unsolved case, Sun Guifei had no clues, but the queen mother suspected me...... It must have been Qiu Ling who sued me in front of the Queen Mother! She has been to our small courtyard, and she is close to pomegranate flowers, most of them heard something from pomegranate flowers......"

Wu Qiong was a little ignorant: "Autumn Order? ”

"It's Xu Gong people, Concubine Xu Xian." Mrs. Gui lazily leaned towards the pillow, "At that time, she was just a small palace person, and she was used to pleasing the Queen Mother, but she was more favored by the Queen Mother than the old person of Kunning Palace." It's a pity that she is just an orphan girl from the Chengenhou Mansion, with a humble status, and no matter how much the Queen Mother loves her, she will not be promoted. If it weren't for the emperor's fancy for her......"

Thinking that the palace people she looked down on in the past are now noble concubines, she couldn't help but want to grit her teeth: "Who would have thought that she would have such a great creation?!" Knowing this, why couldn't the Queen Mother recommend her to the emperor early? The emperor has a new love, and he will no longer favor Sun Guifei alone. Sun Guifei fell out of favor, where did she get the confidence to dare to kill the queen and the crown prince, and kill the whole family of the prince? ! I'd rather have a little prince in the palace than the Wu family ends up today! ”

Mrs. Gui was suddenly furious, Wu Qiong didn't dare to say more, and hurriedly poured tea for her mother to let her dissipate her anger.

Mrs. Gui was angry and angry: "It's okay, I'm just complaining a few words." However, even if Xu Qiuling has a great creation, and now she is a virtuous concubine and gave birth to the eighth prince, it is just a marriage for people, and it will not become a climate after all. I was angry, but I thought her son was too much of a hindrance, and the queen mother was too slow, not because I hated her. Xu Qiuling has no roots and no foundation, and has only one son, and when the new monarch succeeds to the throne in the future, he will be just a concubine. How noble is our Wu family? What's there to do with her? Don't look at her current scenery, won't she want to tie up our family in the future? Just like when I was in the palace......"
