Chapter 20 Threats

The autumn rain is continuous, disturbing people's sorrow.

The sound of gongs, drums, silk and bamboo faintly came from the inner courtyard of the Fu family.

The housewife, Xie, has no hobbies on weekdays, but she likes to invite the Chunxi class to come to the house to sing songs.

The Chunxi class is the most famous in the capital.

It is rare to listen to a good show, Xie invited two aunts in the house to be companions, and several people listened to the small song and knocked on the melon seeds, and they were content.

On the left side of the Xie family sat a woman in a green dress, her cheeks were thin and covered with thick fat powder, and she looked particularly enchanting, it was Aunt Chen.

The weather turned cold, and Aunt Chen was still shaking a thin-handled pear blossom fan in her hand.

She was not interested in the babbling drama, she looked left and right, and had nothing to say to Aunt Lu next to her: "Sister Lu, why did you say that the four girls haven't come back yet?" Did you really fall out with the house? ”

Aunt Lu looked honest and loyal.

She looked embarrassed: "I ...... I do not know. ”

Fu Jiao, like her, has been a submissive character all these years. heard that Fu Jiao was kidnapped and disappeared overnight, and suddenly her temperament changed greatly, and she had a very unpleasant quarrel with Fu Zhenqing. Fu Rudi was afraid that their father and daughter would quarrel, so he took Fu Jiao with him.

Away from this smoky house, to be honest, Aunt Lu was a little envious in her heart.

"Let's talk about what you know."

Aunt Chen's mouth couldn't stop idle, she said: "It's good that the He family and we are friends in the world, and as a result, we will withdraw from the marriage." The four girls are miserable now, and it's hard to say whether the marriage will be settled in the future. ”

Aunt Lu: "Dr. He quit the marriage at that time and said that it was not the problem of the four girls, but that he was not in good health and was afraid of delaying the four girls." ”

Aunt Chen rolled her eyes, "That's an excuse for Fu Jiao to go down the stairs on purpose." That's why you will believe it. And, I've heard that ......"

"Ahem."

Xie Shi had a cold face and made a silent gesture towards the two, "Listen to the play, listen to the play, what's the noise?" ”

Aunt Lu bowed her head.

Aunt Chen's mouth was itchy and there was no choice, so she could only grab a handful of melon seeds and knock them.

Zhou Fangjun, the pillar of the Chunxi class, is playing the third fold of "Horse on the Wall", talking about the love between Miss Li and the young master of the Pei family at first sight, breaking through the secular etiquette, and finally achieving perfection after several setbacks.

Xie Shi looked attentively, and the emotional part beat lightly: "A pillow of dreams of Zhuang Butterfly for a few years, after a while, I don't understand a good day." ”

At the right time, Fu Yan from outside trotted all the way.

She withdrew from the maids and servants left and right, unable to hide her anxiety, and said something in Xie's ear. Xie's face sank, he glanced at Aunt Chen and Aunt Lu, got up and smoothed out the folds of his clothes, "You guys listen first, I'll go back when I go." ”

Xie Shi walked in a hurry.

The road was slippery on a rainy day, and I accidentally broke down.

Aunt Chen looked at the backs of the mother and daughter who were leaving with a roar, and threw the melon seed skin to the ground, "What? Ask someone to listen to the play, and then leave after listening to half of it? ”

*

Xie Shi held Fu Jiao's arm, looking nervous: "She's really here?" ”

"Absolutely."

Fu Yan also looked like she was about to cry, "When the next person came to report, I was shocked. Hurry up, mother, don't let her wait! ”

It was drizzling outside.

The mother and daughter left through the back door, so anxious that they didn't dare to hit the umbrella, and came to a secluded alley.

At the end of the alley was a nondescript blue-curtain carriage.

Hearing the sound, out of the carriage came a thick servant woman with big shoulders and a round waist. She glanced at the two of them lightly, rolled up half of the curtain, bowed and said, "Master, they are here." ”

The woman in the carriage wore a dark blue cloak, and a large hood covered the upper half of her face, revealing only a delicate chin and beautiful red lips.

Xie Shi and Fu Yan hurriedly knelt down.

The woman reached out and pulled down her hood, and it turned out to be a young girl in her twenties and eights.

She looked down at the two of them coldly, completely ignoring the luxurious silk under their knees being polluted by the rain and cement, and the yin and yang were weird and teased: "Mrs. Jian Cheng's life is really comfortable, and she still has leisure to listen to the spring music class at home." It's rare to see you! ”

Fu Yan wanted to explain, but was stopped by Xie Shi pulling down his sleeve.

Xie Shi possessed himself and said humbly: "Princess Zhaofu is angry!" What you told the women to do, the women did not forget. Fu Jiao is not in Beijing now, and the women are really beyond the reach of the whip. When she returns to Beijing, the women will definitely find a way. ”

"Idiot! Idiot! Princess Zhaofu was furious, "This little thing can't be done, you might as well die!" ”

After speaking, she grabbed a teacup and smashed it on Xie's head.

Xie Shi was bleeding all over his face.

But she didn't dare to wipe it.

The person in front of her is the most beloved daughter of Emperor Jianming and Concubine Jing, Princess Zhaofu Zhao Yuyi.

Notoriously rude, willful, and vicious.

Fu Yan felt sorry for her mother, and couldn't help but say, "The princess is angry!" We have already found someone to kidnap Fu Jiao. talked about killing people with three hundred taels of gold, but for some reason, the two kidnappers let Fu Jiao escape and come back! My eldest brother asked a famous arrester to investigate the matter, only to learn that the two kidnappers died mysteriously that night. If it weren't for the mystery of their deaths, my mother would have been confessed. ”

Princess Zhaofu didn't listen to these reasons.

"Incompetence is inability, don't make excuses for this princess!"

She held back the resentment in her stomach and asked sharply, "When will Fu Jiao return to Beijing?" ”

“…… Ignorance. ”

Xie Shi hurriedly said: "But don't worry, princess, as soon as she comes back this time, I will let her die without a place to bury." ”

Princess Zhaofu stared at her for a long time, "I hope so." Otherwise......" she sneered, "Madame Prisoner, you know what the consequences are. ”

Xie's body trembled.

She lowered her head, not daring to imagine what Princess Zhaofu would do with her handle.

When Princess Zhaofu's carriage was gone, Fu Yan helped her mother, stomped her feet, and complained: "I don't understand, why does Princess Zhaofu have trouble with the daughter of a prostitute?" Did they have any festivals before? Fu Yan couldn't figure it out if she wanted to break her head, "It's impossible, just Fu Jiao's cringe-induced and timid character, how dare she provoke the princess?" ”

Xie wiped the blood from his forehead with a handkerchief and shook his head with a sad face.

She didn't know either.

Half a year ago, Princess Zhaofu found her and threatened her with a handle, asking her to find a way to take Fu Jiao's life and do it without leaving a trace.

Xie Shi knocked on the side and asked, but he got a sneer from Princess Zhaofu.

Also.

She is the wife of a prisoner, what qualifications does she have to figure out what the princess thinks.

Xie doesn't like Fu Jiao, so he usually treats him harshly, and when he reaches the age of marriage, he can just find a family to marry. If it weren't for Princess Zhaofu's order, why would she be a housewife, why would she kill an unfavored concubine and take her own life for nothing.

Fu Yan gritted her teeth and helped Xie Shi to walk back, "Whatever!" Anyway, I hate Fu Jiao! was targeted by Princess Zhaofu, Fu Jiao ended miserably sooner or later. ”

Xie patted the back of her hand: "Today's matter, don't make a noise." ”

Fu Yan: "Don't worry, mother." I know! ”
