Xing Shuang looked down at the clean ground, and was dazed for a moment, making her almost miss what the queen said.

"...It's Xu's age too." The queen's voice floated into her ears with a hint of a smile, "General Xing may still want to keep you for a few more years, but this girl , but there are not many 15-year-olds, and some marriages, if you miss it, it will be difficult to find."

Concubine Ning next to her apologized and said yes, Xing Shuang raised her eyelids and glanced at her quickly.

Concubine Ning was the first woman to follow the emperor, and she is 47 years old this year.The eldest prince and the crown prince's main concubine and side concubine's seats have already been filled, and the third prince has been imprisoned. Now the only princes in the palace who have reached the marriageable age are the fourth prince raised by Concubine Ning.

Speaking of which, the fourth prince is one year younger than himself, but he is even more anxious to talk about others than himself.

Xing Shuang sat down like a gourd, the queen said a few words to Concubine Ning, seeing that she still didn't respond, she changed the subject and talked about Concubine Ning's pregnancy in Concubine Shu's palace.

Concubine Ning looked at Xing Shuang absent-mindedly for a few times, and thought to herself: "The family background is not bad, but it is said that he followed his father to the battlefield since he was a child, like a wild boy, how can my Yun'er marry such a girl? Let alone serve her husband , it’s not bad if you don’t hit your husband.”

Xing Shuang also secretly said in her heart: "I went to the third prince, and now the fourth prince has come. It's really endless! When I go back, I will quickly ask my father to find me a home, so as not to be missed."

After being finally released from the palace, Xing Shuang didn't turn pale until he got into the carriage.Today I was supposed to go to Concubine Ning's natal Wang Shilang's mansion to enjoy the flowers with her acquainted sisters, but after admiring them, she received the Queen's order, and was called into the palace for no reason.

Hmph, I won't go to Wang Shilang's house to play anymore, and I won't go if anyone shouts.Xing Shuang thought angrily, got out of the carriage, thought about it, and went to Ziwei's place.

"I met my mother."

Ziwei looked at Xing Shuang in surprise, and said, "Missy is back."

Xing Shuang paused, and said: "I was called into the palace just now by the empress, and said a lot of things. There is a man surnamed Shu in the palace who is pregnant, and the empress is quite concerned about her. moved out of the Xiande Concubine's palace, and sent it to Concubine Ning to raise her baby."

Ziwei was stunned for a moment, and when she saw Xing Shuang's pointed eyes, she realized something, and then she leaned back as if she had been hit hard.

"My daughter will leave first, so I won't disturb my mother's rest."

Xing Shuang hurried away, leaving Ziwei sitting in a chair, trembling involuntarily.

Tweety felt something was wrong, put her hand on Ziwei's shoulder, and said worriedly: "Madam, are you alright?"

Ziwei squeezed out a sentence from between her teeth: "It's okay, call Yuanyang, no, call Xiuju to come in."

Xiuju came soon, and seeing Ziwei's pale face, she couldn't help being surprised: "Ma'am, what's wrong with you! I'm going to call the doctor!"

"Come back!" Ziwei gasped, and asked Cui'er to pour herself a cup of hot tea before she said to Xiuju, "Go to Jia's mansion and let Yuanyang find out, the pregnant Shu in the palace of Concubine Xiande What happened to Cairen?"

Holding the teacup to warm her hands, Ziwei quickly looked up the information collected before in her mind.

Now in the palace, the eldest princess and the queen wrestle with each other, each winning or losing.The eldest princess won the previous games, so Jia Yuanchun was awarded the concubine Xiande and became the general's wife himself.But recently, the eldest princess is getting older, and her energy is not as good as before.And the prince raised by the queen is also getting older and more winged. The queen mother is more expensive than the son, and gradually overwhelms the eldest princess in the battle.

Jia Yuanchun had always been in good health, and there were no other low-ranking concubines in the palace.Last month, the queen suddenly named a court lady next to Jia Yuanchun as a talented person, and then Jia Yuanchun fell ill.Until Jia Yuanchun died of illness, Ziwei did not hear the news that Shu Cairen was pregnant, which was obviously diagnosed just now.

Is there any connection here?

If it's a simple competition for favor, then that's fine. If the emperor's heir is involved, this issue is not so simple.

This night, Ziwei managed to squint for a few hours, Siqi and the others couldn't sleep even more, and opened their eyes until dawn.

The emperor's judgment was indeed delivered very quickly, as if he had already made preparations to deal with the Jia family.

Jia Zhen and Jia Chi were sentenced to death, and Jia Zheng, Jia Lian, Jia Rong, etc. were allotted, exiled, and some of their off-line in-laws were exiled into the army.

Mrs. Wang actually died directly in the cell, saying that she was overly frightened, and left without breathing.

Yuanyang and Xiuju, who were going to pick them up, turned pale when they heard the news.But they didn't dare to ask any more questions, they just helped Madam Xing, Wang Xifeng and others into the carriage.

As for Mrs. Wang's body, except for Baoyu's weeping question, no one else mentioned it.

The entire Jia residence was sealed off, and Mother Jia had already taken Li Wan and Jia Lan to live in a small courtyard under Ziwei's name.

Mother Jia no longer had the loving expression on her face. She squinted her eyes and looked at Li Wan. Li Wan's face was covered with sweat, but she still insisted: "Old ancestor, we can't go crazy with the second wife." .”

Mother Jia snorted coldly, and tightly squeezed the prayer beads in her hand.

Apart from her in the mansion, only Li Wan's mother and son escaped the catastrophe.And Li Wan even kept his small treasury and two maids.Jia Mu kept only one amber by her side, and the others were taken away by the government.

Is Li Wan's name of a chaste woman so useful?Mother Jia sneered in her heart, no matter how stupid she was, she could see something was wrong.It's just that the situation is unclear now, she can't easily touch Li Wan.

Hearing the commotion outside, Mother Jia raised her head, helped Amber and walked out.

A group of people poured in from the yard, wearing dirty and smelly Chinese clothes, with the sadness and despair of the rest of their lives on their faces.

"Old ancestor!" Baoyu cried, throwing herself down in front of Jia Mu and knelt down, "My wife is gone!"

Mother Jia touched Baoyu's head tremblingly, but could not speak.

Both Shi Xiangyun and Wang Xifeng went to support Jia's mother, weeping and talking about the two days in prison.

Their female relatives were all locked together, and Mrs. Wang was locked alone in the cell on the other side.That night, the guards in the prison said Mrs. Wang was sick, and the next day, she was gone.

Shi Xiangyun and the others were frightened, afraid that they would disappear so quietly.Wang Xifeng thought more, Jia Yuanchun's death, Mrs. Wang's death, the two of them must have offended someone who shouldn't be offended, and brought disaster on Jia's family.I and others are just being implicated. The man who pity her is going to be exiled to that dangerous remote place. I don't know if I will meet again!

Thinking of this, Wang Xifeng's teeth itch with hatred, wishing to kick the crying Baoyu aside.

The group cried for a long time before entering the house. Yuanyang and Amber took hot water for them to wash.

"What about the second sister, why didn't you come?" Shi Xiangyun asked.

Jia Mu sighed: "She is pregnant with a child, and I didn't let her come."

Shi Xiangyun wiped his tears and said, "I miss my second sister."

Wang Xifeng said coldly in her heart, "What do you think of Second Sister? You want to live in the General's Mansion!"

Mrs. Xing also wanted to be with her, but she was used to being obedient, and she glanced at Jiamu, but didn't dare to say anything.

"Old ancestor, my wife's body is still in prison." Baoyu said timidly.

Wang Xifeng's lips moved, and said in a low voice: "I don't know why, but the second wife of Dudu was locked up alone elsewhere, otherwise, she might not have any trouble."

Shi Xiangyun took a look at Wang Xifeng, felt a sudden shock, pulled Baoyu and said, "Stop talking, let the old ancestor rest."

Baoyu saw that Jiamu's face was very pale, so she had to shut up and look at the others pitifully.

Mother Jia waved her hand wearily: "The second girl said that if she has any news, she will come and tell us immediately. You should go back to the house to wash and rest."

There were already seven or eight servants in Ziwei's yard, and Li Wan and Jia Mu brought three more, which was enough.Yuanyang carefully told Mother Jia what she had heard from Xiuju, and said cautiously: "Madam originally wanted to take you all into the house, but after hearing this, she dared not act rashly."

Mother Jia nodded: "Got it, I know, you let her have a baby with peace of mind. By the way, tell the gatekeeper later that no one else is allowed to go out at will except you and Xiuju."

Yuanyang nodded, and Jia Mu said again: "Hong'er was also taken to sell, you try to buy her back, she still has Lian'er's child in her belly! Now Lian'er..."

Jiamu couldn't continue, Yuanyang hurriedly said: "I see, old ancestor, the chess player has already gone to watch, and said that as long as he sees Hong'er, he will definitely buy it back."

Jia Mu said softly: "The eldest is gone, the second and Lian'er have been exiled, and Baoyu is the only one in the younger generation. If possible, find a way to send Baoyu and Xiangyun away."

She didn't mention Jia Lan, and looking at the undercurrent between her and Li Wan in the past two days, there was nothing Yuanyang didn't understand.

After leaving the room, Yuanyang saw that Wang Xifeng had changed and was waiting for her in the corridor next to her.

"Second Grandma." Yuanyang walked over and said softly.

Wang Xifeng was silent for a while, then said: "Did the old lady tell you to buy Hong'er back?"

Yuanyang nodded, Wang Xifeng turned her head sideways, and took out a handkerchief from her sleeve, on which was a pair of small pearl earrings: "I only have this as the most valuable now, if you see Ping'er, buy her back too .Anyway, they have been with me for so many years."

Seeing the gate of the General's Mansion again, Yuanyang felt as if it had been a lifetime away.Those masters of the Jia family who were crowded in a courtyard were all in a state of distress and dejected, as if the wealth and arrogance of the past were just a dream.This is just three days!

Fortunately, he married the second girl with him.I also hope that the General's Mansion will not become the second Jia family in the future.

After entering the door, Yuanyang reported the news, and finally hesitated: "Young servant, I didn't see Master Jia Huan."

Ziwei was stunned for a moment: "Isn't he locked up with Baoyu?"

"No, it is said that he was taken away with Aunt Zhao."

Ziwei was speechless and could only look at Yuanyang silently.

"The servant has already told Siqi that if he sees Master Huan, he will buy it back." Yuanyang whispered.

Baoyu, the concubine, is still there, so no one will put too much energy on a concubine.Jia Huan, the young master from a concubine, was not even as important as Hong'er, who might give birth to Jia Lian's only son, in Mother Jia's heart.

Because no matter whether they are separated or not, Jia Yingchun is a member of the big family.Jia Yuanchun and Mrs. Wang in the second room got into trouble, so Mother Jia had to favor the eldest room so that the eldest room could accommodate Baoyu.

Among other things, Wang Xifeng is not a vegetarian, she will figure out what is going on sooner or later.If Jia Mu died, the first thing Wang Xifeng would do would be to drive Baoyu and his wife out of the house.

After a pause, Yuanyang said again: "Baoyu also came to ask Mrs. Li about it. The maidservant told Bao's second grandmother to let her watch Baoyu carefully and don't do stupid things."

Ziwei shook her head: "Is the money still enough?"

"That's enough, the old ancestor said, you can't spend all the money from the General's Mansion. It's time to use the money that was saved for you before."

The two looked at each other for a long time, before Ziwei said: "You, first go find out the news with Siqi and the others."

Yuanyang said: "I heard that the general hasn't returned home for two days. Is he avoiding you?"

Ziwei whispered: "No, I'm afraid I don't know how to reject me. My brother, you ask Siqi to bother to find out."

Yuanyang responded, and walked out with a sad face.

The author has something to say: Hey hey, I changed the wrong sentence, it’s all because the second room has too much presence, I regard them as the big room o(TヘTo)
