Malicious Medical Princess of the Marquis House

When it got dark, Gu Jiu and Liu Zhao returned to the palace.

As soon as he got off the carriage, a small yellow door came to Lin Shuping, the inner servant, and reported the matter.

Lin Shuping's face changed slightly, and then he quietly reported to Liu Zhao.

Liu Zhao remained calm, nodded slightly, and then said to Gu Jiu, You go back to your room first, I have to go out.

Gu Jiu was worried, You have been drinking, can your body bear it?

Liu Zhao said with a blank expression: It's okay. I might be going back to the house late tonight, you don't have to leave the door for me, I'll just rest in the document garden.

Gu Jiu said, I will leave the door for you, no matter how late.

In front of people, Gu Jiu would give Liu Zhao enough face.

Liu Zhao really used it, and his hard heart suddenly became soft.

He didn't care whether anyone was watching or not, he directly held Gu Jiu's hand and did not allow Gu Jiu to let go.

He whispered to her: You wait for me at night, I will try to come back as early as possible.

Gu Jiu felt that he had dug a hole for himself.

She bit her head and said, Then you must come back early.

Liu Zhao nodded heavily, let go of Gu Jiu's hand, and led people out of the palace.

Gu Jiu settled down and took the maid and the old lady back to the East Courtyard.

As soon as she entered the East Courtyard and Shangfang Courtyard, Xiao Cui, who stayed behind in the palace, told Gu Jiu an astonishing news.

Wu Meiren died suddenly? Is this true?

Xiaocui nodded frequently, This matter is absolutely true, the slaves went to see it, and Wu Meiren is gone.

Gu Jiu's hair was cold.

She dared to use her head to guarantee that Wu Meiren's body would never die violently.

Wu Meiren was young and her body looked pretty good, but she just had a miscarriage, and Imperial Physician Hu had already diagnosed her with her pulse and medication. In any case, Wu Meiren had no reason to die suddenly.

unless man-made.

Some people want Wu Meiren to die, so Wu Meiren has to die.

In the palace, the people who can do this, except the princess,

It was King Ning himself.

Gu Jiu asked, Has the body been buried yet?

Xiaocui nodded, It's been buried. Because it was a sudden death, it will be sent to Yizhuang before dark.

Gu Jiu rubbed his brows, the cruelty of the palace was evident.

Wu Meiren, who was smiling like a flower last night, was pronounced violently dead today.

What the hell did she do that she had to die.

Could it be that Wu Meiren is not chaste, as Wang Fei Pei guessed?

But looking at the face of the prince last night, there should be no doubts about Wu Meiren's chastity.

So where is the problem.

Gu Jiu asked again, Did the princess say anything?

Xiaocui thought for a while, and then said: The slave did not see the concubine, but only saw the madam Qin beside the concubine. Qin mama sent a message and asked people to bury Wu Meiren as soon as possible and clean up Wu Meiren's courtyard. With the gag order, everyone in the house is not allowed to talk about Wu Meiren.

That's it.

Gu Jiu asked again, Is the prince back? Did the prince say anything?

Xiaocui said: The lord came back after noon. When I learned that Wu Meiren died suddenly, I only ordered people to handle the funeral properly.

Gu Jiu's heart was cold, and the coldness of the royal family's children was evident.

Fang mama whispered, I don't know if it was the prince or the princess who gave the order to let Meiren Wu die violently.

Gu Jiu said, Naturally it was the order of the lord.

Madam Fang wondered, Why is Madam so certain that it was the prince's order.

Gu Jiu sneered, The lord came back after noon and heard that Wu Meiren died suddenly, it was not unexpected, and he just had to be buried properly. Obviously, the lord already knew about Wu Meiren's fate.

Before dawn, the prince went to the palace. How did he know the news of Wu Meiren's sudden death?

Secondly, if the princess ordered Wu Meiren to be dealt with, how could the prince not even ask a question.

Obviously, there is only one answer, that is, the prince ordered to deal with Wu Meiren, causing Wu Meiren to die violently.

Qingmei guessed, Could it be true that what the princess said was true, that Wu Meiren is really unchaste?

Gu Jiu shook his head, There's no way to know about this. Maybe it's this reason, maybe it's another reason.

Gu Jiu prefers other reasons.

There must be something inside that made the prince change his mind temporarily, so that Wu Meiren had to die violently.

It's just that she doesn't know anything about it, so she can't guess.

Madam Fang went out and came back after a while, Mrs. Qi, the servants of the East Court are here, does Madam want to see them now?

This should have been done yesterday.

It's just that I met yesterday, and I was too tired, so I postponed it until today.

Gu Jiu nodded, Let them come in in batches.

Four little servants, washing the pen, washing the ink, washing the inkstone, and serving the sword. The four of them have served by Liu Zhao's side since they were young, and they are considered useful people by Liu Zhao's side.

According to Mother Fang, these four little servants can do martial arts. They are both servants and guards.

After that, there were four Huangmen Lang and twelve bodyguards.

There were originally twenty-four guards, and twelve of them went out with Liu Zhao on errands and were not in the mansion.

Gu Jiu met them one by one, and they all gave them first- and second-class awards.

After that, it is the mother-in-law and the maid.

Among the wives, there is a person named Sun, who is said to have nursed Liu Zhao for a period of time, and is considered half a grandma. Therefore, Aunt Sun is very considerate among the mother-in-law.

She is in charge of the sewing room in the East Courtyard. If the little maids want to use some sewing cloth to make a purse, they must obtain the consent of Aunt Sun.

Aunt Sun smiled and said to Gu Jiu, What do you want to do with your maid, even if you want to do it? The maid promises to do it properly.

Gu Jiu laughed, There is Aunt Lao. I don't know how many children the Aunt has, and where do they all work?

Aunt Sun said, My man is in charge of a village for the palace, and my boy works under the housekeeper, doing errands and errands. My daughter is working beside the son, called Chunjuan.

Oh!

Aunt Sun's family has become the son of the royal family. The whole family relies on the palace to eat.

It's just Aunt Sun's daughter who actually waited by Liu Zhao's side.

Gu Jiu noticed this information.

She smiled at Aunt Sun, If something happens in the future, don't nag the young master, come directly to ask Mrs. Ben for instructions.

Slave listens to Madam.

Gu Jiu gave Aunt Sun a first-class reward and sent him out.

She and Mama Fang exchanged glances, Mama Fang understood, she would stare at Aunt Sun.

If Aunt Sun is honest, that's all.

If not, I must find an opportunity to beat and beat Aunt Sun.

In the end, Gu Jiu saw the big maids waiting by Liu Zhao's side.

The eight maids were headed by four servants, Shiqin, Shiqi, Shishu, and Shihua.

The other four maids included Chunjuan, Aunt Sun's daughter.

Eight big maids, all with elegant appearance and tall stature.

If you take out any one, it is a bit more respectable than the young lady of the ordinary official family.

You have been serving the son for many years, it's been hard work.

Slaves don't dare to be. It is the duty of slaves and others to serve the son.

Gu Jiu nodded, It's good to know that you abide by your duty. In the future, you will continue to serve by your son's side, you can't adjust the three nests and four, and cause trouble.

Several maids looked at each other.

They originally thought that when the lady entered the door, they would definitely be unpleasant.

They were all prepared before they came. If the madam withdraws their errands, they are not allowed to serve by the son's side. The eight of them must fight according to their reasons, and they will not hesitate to make trouble in front of the queen concubine.

Unexpectedly, the madam asked them to continue to serve the son.

The eight were overjoyed.

The lead servant Qin said: Madam, rest assured, the slaves and others will serve the son with all their hearts and not let Madam worry.

Gu Jiu raised her eyebrows and smiled, When it comes to serving people, Mrs. Ben naturally believes in you. I saw you serving the son in the past two days. You are so careful and thoughtful. The maids around me are not as good as they are.

Qingmei, Qingzhu, You Kongduo and Shiqin should not be complacent, but should be humble and learn. Shiqin, how many of you are willing to teach Qingmei and Qingzhu?

Shiqin lowered their heads and exchanged glances, unable to figure out what medicine Madam was selling in this gourd.

Why let them teach Qingmei and Qingzhu?

But the lady opened her mouth, and they naturally couldn't refuse.

Shiqin said: Madam looks down on us, and slaves and others are naturally willing.

Qingmei secretly ridiculed that the lady gave you three points of color, and she really dared to open a dyeing workshop.

Mommy Fang threw a look, reminding Qingmei not to be impatient, and not to ruin Madam's affairs.

Qingmei hurriedly lowered her head without revealing any thoughts in her heart.

Gu Jiu laughed, You are all excellent. Come on, this is a reward for you, one for each, don't dislike it.

The madam shattered the slaves and others, and the madam rewarded them. How dare the slaves and others dislike it.

Gu Jiu said with a smile, Young master will come back late tonight, you can arrange it yourself. When something happens, I will call you.

Slave listens to Madam.

The eight maids filed out of the upper room.

Gu Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, seeing so many people was not an easy task.

She leaned against the soft collapse and asked, Mother Fang, what do you think of those maids?

Mother Fang bowed her body and said, Everyone has a high self-esteem, and the maid has a strong body and a heart. Relying on the dignity of serving by the son's side, she is quite unwilling to be subservient to others.

Gu Jiu sneered, If they are serving by my side, I don't mind giving them a chance to climb the high branches. But since they are serving by the son's side, that's another matter.

These days, there are many maids who think the same way as Jiang Yan.

But not every maid is as frank as Jiang Yan.

Most people are duplicitous. He said that he didn't dare, but he had all kinds of calculations in his heart.

Gu Jiu didn't hate those big maids, but if she dared to touch her interests and grab a man with her, then don't blame her for being rude.

Between her and Liu Zhao, sooner or later, there will be children. She will never allow anyone to divide the child's interests and threaten the child's status.

All in all, if those maidservants were keeping their own way, Gu Jiu would naturally tolerate them.

If there are too many minds, Gu Jiu doesn't mind sending the maids out by himself.

Back then, she was able to get rid of Taohong, but now she can get rid of the maid next to Liu Zhao.

Qingmei was a little resentful, The servants looked at Shiqin and the others, all of them had a coquettish face, and all of them were masters who were unwilling to keep their guard up. Madam had to be on guard.

Gu Jiu laughed, It's really not very duty. You, Qingzhu and Xiaocui, the three of you have more contact with them, and they are close to each other. After they get acquainted with you, they will naturally be less guarded against you.

Qingmei smiled happily, The servant knows. The servant will definitely get along well with Shiqin and the others.

In the evening, Gu Jiu left the door for Liu Zhao.

However, when she fell asleep, Liu Zhao never came back.

When I woke up in the morning and touched the bed, it was already cold.

Looking at the traces on the bed, it was obvious that someone had slept.

Gu Jiu rubbed his brows, whether Liu Zhao came back or not.

She rang the bell, and several maids entered the door and waited.

Gu Jiu asked, Did you come back last night?

Qingmei nodded, I came back. I only came back at Zi Shi, and went out again before dawn.

Gu Jiu snorted.

Then he asked, What did the son say?

The son instructed the servants and servants not to disturb the rest of the madam. He also asked the servants to instruct the madam to eat well and eat more to grow meat.

Gu Jiu's mouth twitched.

Does Liu Zhao really want to keep her as a pig?

Can it be slaughtered and eaten after being fattened?

Gu Jiu asked again, Did you say anything else?

Qingmei nodded, Young Master said that he will be busy these days, leaving early and returning late every day. Let the madam not have to wait for him.

Gu Jiu understood.

Either something happened in court, or something happened in private.

After breakfast, Gu Jiu went to Chunhetang to greet the princess.

When she arrived, the second wife, Ouyang Fu, had already arrived.

Second brother and sister came so early?

Ouyang Fu got up, I've seen my sister-in-law. I'm here too early.

Gu Jiu smiled softly, I'm here for the first time, I don't know what the princess likes? Can my second brother and sister teach me?

The second wife, Ouyang Fu, nodded and whispered, My lady, Wang Fei, naturally likes everyone to follow her. I hate people who sing against her. Besides, the princess likes luxury, not simplicity.

With these two points, Gu Jiu could basically guess the princess's behavior.

At this time, the fourth lady Xiao Qin'er also arrived.

As for the third lady, because she was ill and afraid of getting sick, she has not shown her face these days.

Fifth and sixth sons are not married.

There are also three unmarried girls in the mansion. They entered the palace together yesterday to perform filial piety in front of Concubine Shu, and have to live until the Chinese New Year.

The three of them are daughters-in-law, both to greet and report things.

Now, Ouyang Fu and Xiao Qin'er are the coordinators of the housekeeping, and they can handle trivial matters by themselves. Major events must be reported to Princess Pei to decide.

The three of them arrived together, and then the two concubines, beauties, and talents also came to Chunhe Hall to greet them.

When everyone arrived, the waiter sang and shouted, and Princess Pei took the hand of the maid and walked out.

Everyone got up and went forward to pay their respects.

Let's all sit down and talk. Family, don't pay attention to these polite manners.

Mr. Pei sat down on the main seat.

Gu Jiu sat on the lower left, with Xiao Qiner and Ouyang Fu beside her.

Opposite of her, Concubine Shen, Concubine Luo and others were sitting.

Pei shi first glanced at the door and then came to greet Gu Jiu for the first time.

She asked, eldest daughter-in-law, how are you going back home yesterday?

Gu Jiu bowed slightly, Reporting to the mother-in-law, everything is fine in the Gu residence. The lady of the Hou residence also asked her daughter-in-law to greet the mother-in-law on her behalf.

Mrs. Pei snorted, I know about Mrs. Wei. When we were young, we were also good friends. Is she okay?

Gu Jiu nodded, Very good.

Mr. Pei spoke today, with a pleasant face, and did not pick on Gu Jiu's fault.

Gu Jiu guessed in her heart, a few days ago, was it because the princess came to have a small day, so her temper was extraordinarily short-tempered.

Pei didn't pay too much attention to Gu Jiu, but asked Xiao Qin'er, who was assisting the housekeeper.

Xiao Qin'er sat upright, Reporting to the concubine, the farms, shops, and several business lines in the south have all sent this year's profits to the mansion. This is the ledger.

It turned out that Xiao Qin'er had already prepared and knew that Mrs. Pei was going to ask about the account, so she even brought the account book.

Gu Jiu raised her eyebrows, the account book was in the office, and when the account room was not there, Xiao Qin'er actually brought the account book out privately. Don't be afraid that someone will tamper with the ledger and get rich.

Maybe she thought too much, and the accountant should have made several books.

Mr. Pei took the account book and read it page by page.

Seeing the final summary, Mr. Pei frowned.

She asked, But less than last year?

Xiao Qin'er bowed and said, Reporting to Mother Concubine is 20% less than last year.

How come there are so many less? There have been no natural disasters this year, how could this be?

Mr. Pei was obviously extremely dissatisfied with the 20% reduction in income.

She and Ning Wang both like luxury and spend a lot of money in a year.

The palace has to support so many people again, and the income will decrease, which means that the cost of next year will also be cut by 20%.

Although it won't be cut to her head, Mr. Pei is still unhappy.

With less income, it means that the money she moved into her private treasury also decreased, so how could she be happy.

Xiao Qin'er said in a low voice: Reporting to the mother-in-law, the daughter-in-law is not too sure. Why don't you call the accountant to ask.

Pei snorted coldly, a little dissatisfied with Xiao Qin'er.

Bringing the account book, but not knowing why this year's income is less than last year, it shows that the homework has not been done well.

At this time, the second wife, Ouyang Fu, said, Reporting to the mother-in-law, the daughter-in-law knows a little bit of the reason.

Say!
