Qing Mama immediately instructed the mother-in-law who followed, "You go to her house to search, and then take this little slut to the dungeon!" As soon as the words fell, Zi Ning struggled and shouted: "Don't, my aunt is still sick, you can't go in!" She was worried about Lin Niang, and she was even more afraid that the white satin underwear and folding fan hidden under the pillow would be found by the mother-in-law, which would definitely expose the identity of the benefactor.

The mother-in-law didn't pay attention to her, and Mrs. Chen slapped her in the face and scolded fiercely: "Little slut, death is on the verge of death, and you dare to call out so loudly, wait for you to taste the punishment of the palace!" Qing Mama followed and snorted coldly: "Aunt Li ordered, if you find this slut, you will beat it to death with a stick, so as not to let the prince and the county lord worry about it." ”

The mother-in-law was about to step forward and drag Zi Ning away, when they suddenly saw a commotion at the gate of the big courtyard, and a cold and slow voice came, "Your tone is so loud, you want me to take a closer look, who is in this mansion and can't say it?" Everyone was shocked, and hurriedly turned their heads to look, and their feet involuntarily moved to both sides, making way for the comers.

Aunt Xu walked slowly into the big courtyard, with a majestic expression and a sneer, followed by a little maid holding a porcelain jar. The mothers-in-law were stunned for a moment, and hurriedly took a few steps back, bowed their heads, and no one dared to step forward to speak.

Aunt Xu looked around with a cold gaze, walked up to Mrs. Chen, and snorted, "You are old, and your memory is probably not good." ”

The muscles on Mrs. Chen's face twitched twice, she had always known that Aunt Xu was the most powerful person beside the eldest princess, and her status in the palace was second only to the master.

Aunt Xu raised her hand to brush away the pink and white petals that fell on her sleeves, her eyes no longer looked at Mrs. Chen, who was panicked, she turned around and glanced at Mama Qing, and said, "Who is the master in this palace, I really want to hear what Mama has to say." ”

When Mama Qing saw Aunt Xu's eyebrows with anger, she was already so frightened that her legs were weak, and she couldn't stand up in a trembling voice, so she laughed vigorously and said, "Wangfu...... Of course, the prince and the eldest princess are in charge, and we, the slaves, dare not trespass, just listen to the master's orders and do things with all our hearts. ”

Aunt Xu snorted coldly, her eyes swept over her old face, and said, "Do your best work? Do you remember to do serious things? This afternoon, you are counting books in the big courtyard, can you choose the person you like?" Didn't my ears hear it just now, who did Mama say that she was going to beat to death with a stick? Mama is not small, do you think you are the master of the palace!"

With a loud shout, the mothers-in-law turned pale in fright, and their eyes were frightened, and they closed their mouths tightly, not daring to speak nonsense. The onlookers also secretly spoke, they had only heard that Aunt Xu beside the eldest princess was decisive, but they didn't expect it to be so powerful, and even Mama Qing was a lot shorter in front of her.

Everyone guessed that Aunt Xu was going to take Mama Qing to make a raft, but they didn't know what she wanted, and they were all nervous, lest they would affect themselves, and the courtyard was silent for a while.

Mama Qing's hands trembled in a hurry, and she defended in a loud voice: "This maid named Zining is the thief who stole the county lord's clothes, and the one who broke into the study is the same group. Ligu ordered, this thief is afraid that he wants to be unfavorable to the prince and the county lord, and he will be killed immediately after being caught, so as not to cause trouble in the future!"

Aunt Xu's eyebrows trembled, she slowly turned her face to look at Mama Qing, her eyes stopped for a long time, and said: "The eldest princess governs the family strictest, and Su Ri is also lenient to the slaves and maids who make mistakes, and she is not allowed to kill unmarried maids, and Mama has served in the house for many years, so she doesn't understand such rules? Besides, Aunt Li is just an aunt in charge, who gives her the power of life and death?"

Mama Qing was not convinced, and said in a low voice: "I dare not violate the rules of the palace, but Zining has a scar on the soles of her feet, it must be an accomplice of the thief......"

Before she could finish speaking, Aunt Xu flicked her sleeves and said in a cold voice: "You suspect that Zi Ning is a thief, I have to testify to her, she has been seriously injured these days, lying on the bed to recuperate, and has never left the house for a moment." Besides, the county lord's Cailan Pavilion is in the deep courtyard of the Inner Mansion, and Zi Ning is a little maid outside the second gate, and she is covered in wounds, how can she sneak into the inner mansion? If even she can enter casually, wouldn't your mothers-in-law guarding the second gate eat idle meals, and they should all lose their heads!"

A loud shout frightened the mothers-in-law, and said in a loud voice: "Aunt Xu, don't worry, the second gate is guarded firmly, without a token, no one wants to sneak into the inner mansion, and even a fly outside can't fly in." ”

Mama Qing also felt that something was wrong, in case Zi Ning was convicted, I was afraid that these mothers-in-law guarding the door would not be able to get out of it, so she hurriedly squeezed out a smile and said, "Since Aunt Xu said so, it must be a misunderstanding." Just now these two maids didn't listen to discipline, so I ordered someone to slap them a few times, just to scare them, how dare they really beat them to death with sticks, and we don't dare to forget the rules of the palace for a moment. ”

Aunt Xu's gaze seemed to be careless, and she glanced at her lightly, and then said slowly: "Mama just remember the rules, I don't have to bother with my tongue." The eldest princess ordered me to send tonic ointment to Zining, if you accidentally kill her, you will go back to the eldest princess yourself. You know what the consequences will be!"

The surrounding mothers-in-law were all suppressed by Aunt Xu's momentum without anger, and no one dared to speak out, seeing that an old woman like Mama Qing was robbed and reprimanded, not to mention these people? If you accidentally offend her, it will be tantamount to offending the eldest princess.

A few days ago, Mama Yan died tragically, and everyone still had palpitations, and they all knew in their hearts how she died. In the past two days, the king of Huajun fell off his horse and was injured, the queen mother in the palace was sick, and the newly elected officials of the scholar clan entered Beijing, these things made the palace a mess, and the eldest princess was irritable, and her body was not very good. At this juncture, if anyone touches her blade, he will find himself dead.

The mother-in-law was submissive, and when they saw that Mama Qing's face was gray, her lips trembled, and a layer of sweat appeared on her forehead, they were secretly frightened, and stepped forward to smile with Aunt Xu. Mrs. Chen is the best at looking at the eyes, and seeing that she values Zining, she affectionately pulled the two girls up and brought them to Aunt Xu, and said with a smile: "These two are the most clever outside the second gate, and they look good, who doesn't like it, no wonder the eldest princess likes it." ”

Aunt Xu ignored Mrs. Chen, stared at Zi Ning intently, and after a while, she pursed her lips and smiled, and said gently: "You take good care of your body, don't let down the eldest princess." He raised his sleeve and grabbed Zi Ning's hands and secretly pinched her hands. Zi Ning understood, and hurriedly saluted and said, "Eldest Princess Xie's grace, Aunt Xie's grace." ”

Aunt Xu smiled lightly, turned around and ordered the little maid to give the porcelain jar in her hand to Zining, "This is the best wound medicine honey refining ointment, the eldest princess got it from the palace, you take it back to the house, take a spoonful of warm water every day, and the wounds on your body will heal quickly." ”

This advice was deliberately said in front of everyone, Zi Ning was grateful, knowing that Aunt Xu helped her fight for face, and sure enough, the mothers-in-law looked at each other, and then looked at Zi Ning and Lu Huan's eyes also changed. Although I had heard that the eldest princess liked Zining, it was a rumor after all, and it was not as good as seeing it with my own eyes.

Zi Ning hurriedly thanked him and put away the honey refining paste, and Lu Huan held the porcelain jar with a smile and said, "Ning'er, I'll help you send this good thing back to the house." He put his embroidered shoes on his feet and ran into the house like a gust of wind.

The onlookers on the side all stared at the porcelain jar, envious and jealous, and then looked at Zi Ning's face and appearance, it was really bright and extraordinary, and no one could match it here. Although the set of green clothes she wore was weird and cold, she couldn't hide her natural beauty, which surpassed the maids many times.

The maids could only sigh in their hearts, thinking that such a pretty and good appearance, the eldest princess should also be preferred, but I don't know if she has a good creation, let the eldest princess assign her a good family.

The mother-in-law was thinking about another thing, and when they saw Luhuan holding the porcelain jar and sending it into the house, they all quietly stuck out their tongues and secretly shouted that it was dangerous. Previously, the eldest princess rescued a lot of good things to Zining, and today I saw the honey refining paste sent, such a rough maid actually got good things in the palace, which shows that she is more favored than everyone knows.

Mama Qing's face was very ugly, and she thought, "Fortunately, I didn't kill this girl, so I was safe." If there is really a fatality, or a broken arm and leg, no one dares to say whether she will become the next Yan Mama. When he boarded, he broke out in a cold sweat, and as soon as the breeze blew, the back of his spine was full of cold.

Zi Ning stood in the courtyard, meeting Aunt Xu's eyes, and saw that there seemed to be a complicated look in her eyes, both doubtful and approving. Suddenly thinking of the rainy day, I couldn't help but blush slightly, and hurriedly lowered my head to avoid Aunt Xu's eyes.

Green Ring gave the porcelain jar, ran out of the house, smiled and saluted, and said, "Thank you, auntie." Aunt Xu saw that there were still tears on her face, and the red slap prints were still there, but her eyes were clear and flawless, her smile was cute, and her appearance was flattering. So he nodded and said casually: "The two of you are good companions, and the eldest princess will not treat you badly." ”

Luhuan smiled and nodded, Aunt Xu left with the little maid, walked to the gate of the big courtyard, turned around and said: "The matter of catching thieves should not be worried about Mama, Mama better hurry up and order the booklets, and choose those who look good." If you delay your business today, the prince will go back to the house in the afternoon and ask, and Mama knows how to answer!" he turned his head, strode out of the door, and quickly left the courtyard.

Mama Qing couldn't help but shiver, she was nervous for most of the day, and as soon as she relaxed, her whole body was as sore as if she had been hit by a board.

She raised her hand dejectedly, and Mrs. Chen understood, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "This Zi Ning and Green Ring booklet has been ordered, Mama will continue to order, right?" Qing Mama unconsciously raised her head and looked at Zi Ning carefully, this thing is really strange, how did a rough little maid get the favor of the eldest princess, and even Aunt Xu personally sent medicine.

His heart was full of doubts, but he couldn't guess through, so he secretly decided that he should pay attention to Zining in the future.

"Hmm!" Mama Qing snorted lightly, and said calmly: "Go on, see how many more, call them out together." While looking at the names recorded in the yellow paper booklet, Mrs. Chen opened her throat and shouted: "Cai'er, Xiaoxiu, Chunxia, Donghua......" Soon after, four little maids ran out of the house, and after the mother-in-law checked them one by one, and after verifying their identities and ages, they were also brought over with them.

In the end, the names on the book were all ordered, and the mothers-in-law ordered the maids to turn around in front of Qing Mama to look at each other, and the maids had to move their steps and turn around twice in the same place, but their faces were already red.

They are not as bold as Zi Ning, they listen obediently to what Mama tells them to do, and they are very obedient.

There were more and more people watching the excitement around, and a few naughty children climbed on the trees, and they all giggled when they saw them spinning around. Everyone forgot the danger that Zi Ning encountered just now, and they all pondered the intention of the book, and they didn't know why after reading it for a long time.

I couldn't help but wonder secretly, it seems that the grandmothers are here to choose people, why not let them go into the inner mansion to dance a banquet and dance, and go to the banquet and dance girls?——
