Through the array painter

Grandmother He is the only eldest princess today, but she is often forgotten.

The reason is that she worships Buddha all the year round and doesn't care about worldly affairs.

In the independent small courtyard at the back of the center of He Mansion, there are green trees and green bamboos, dry and tidy, very quiet.

Thinking about it, even though Grandma He didn't show up often and didn't hold power, the servants didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.

The small ancestral hall is cold and not gloomy. Grandma He, dressed in plain white clothes, sits in front of the Buddha statue and concentrates on picking the beads.

The man in black landed in the courtyard without a sound, went to the door and knelt down on one knee and said softly, "Meet the Eldest Princess."

"Who are you? You are so bold!" The old maid Xi Ning, who was guarding Grandma He's door, exclaimed in shock when she saw the man in black appear without a sound.

"Madam He, I have something important to show you."

Grandma He stopped playing with the beads, turned around slowly, and stopped Xi Ning: "Are you...?"

The man in black replied: "Eldest Princess, I am the person under the Sixth Prince's helmet, and I am here to show you something."

"Sixth prince?" Grandma He has been separated from society for too long, and she can't remember who the sixth prince is. Maybe she has never met him, but if he is a prince, he must have some connection with her.

"What? Show me." Grandma He said with a frown.

She has been with the Buddha all these years, and she doesn't like to be disturbed by others. Now she is disturbed by a person who has no memory in her mind, and she is inevitably dissatisfied.

"Yes." The man in black listened and presented the things in his hand.

The purpose of entry is a few letters and a small wooden box.

Opening the letter, Grandmother He read ten lines at a glance at first, and the slower she read the letter as she got to the back.

"The Eldest Princess personally said:

I am the sixth prince, An Qijin, and I have always been friends with He Ze. Xiaohe was poisoned the day before yesterday, and I tried my best to track down the murderer. Unexpectedly, I discovered a secret while chasing the murderer.

In Hexing and his mother's house, the poison/drug that poisoned Heze and Heze's father was found, and the evidence was in the box.

Because this is not only He Ze poisoning, but also involves many family affairs in your mansion, it is difficult for outsiders to make decisions, so I present this matter to Mrs. He, please make a decision.

In addition: He Xing's mother's room and Mige found the correspondence between him and Master He's concubine room, and the letter has been attached. "

After reading the letter, Grandma He's heart seemed to be hit hard, and the years of peace instantly collapsed.

She hastily opened another letter.

When she saw the words written in the concubine's room, Grandma He already believed what the person in the letter said.

But she still needs to fully confirm it.

Open the box, and there are silver water and pills inside.

The letter said that it was found in their room. With these, Grandma He couldn't believe that they still didn't admit it.

What reassures Grandma He most now is that He Ze's illness is nothing serious.

Back then, the reason why she didn't restrain Grandfather He was firstly because she had no relationship with Grandfather He, and secondly because she was still young and kind-hearted, so she felt a little guilty towards Grandfather He.

Even though Grandfather He was raising people outside, or even borrowing people into the mansion regardless of the rules, she did not stop him.

But the people brought by Grandfather He dared to hurt her son!

That woman has always been submissive when she sees her face, and Grandfather He is also obedient to her.

It was because of this that she had no doubts about these two people, and she felt that she had committed a crime, and that her childhood illness was transferred to her son.

From then on, she silently put her mind on worshiping the Buddha and praying for the child.

It was she who took it lightly, thinking that Grandfather He was a commoner with no one to rely on, so such dirty things would not happen in his family.

Although she is a princess, she hasn't realized how much a married princess can have for so many years.

If there was no intervention from Grandfather He, she herself would not believe it.

But it seems that everyone selectively ignores where she came from.

How could it be possible for a simple person to survive in the big dye vat in the harem and receive the favor of the former emperor.

At that time, she made an oath in front of the Buddha that she would be willing to give up her life to anyone who could help her son's cultivation grow smoothly.

On the contrary, if anyone felt sorry for his son, she would sacrifice her life to seek justice for him.

At that time, she saw her son's self-improvement, but forced a smile on his face in pain. She had no choice but to pin her hopes on the Buddha.

But now, she has actually let her know that her son's cultivation level has not increased because someone murdered him, so what's the point of her staying here any longer!

"Xining, get ready, I'm going out." Although Xining, who had been guarding outside the whole time, didn't know what was in the letter, she could tell from Madam He's expression that it was not a good thing.

Hearing Mrs. He's order, she was surprised. What made the old lady, who had not cared about the world for many years, go out?

But as Mrs. He's most loyal servant girl, she obediently replied: "Okay, slave girl will arrange it now."

"It's just old lady, what happened to make you...?"

Mrs. He did not shy away from Xi Ning, and handed her the letter.

After quickly scanning the content, Xining gritted her teeth, "This bitch! Madam is manipulating her, how dare she do this. This servant will make arrangements now, and I will let you take control of He Mansion as quickly as possible."

Mrs. He nodded, "Let's make arrangements. By the way, it's useless to keep this small ancestral hall. It's a place that has been with me for decades. Let's seal it up. You just need to arrange people to come to offer incense on the [-]th day of every month." .”

"Yes." Xining should go out and make arrangements.

Let's talk about the two people who are happy outside.

Grandfather He had a sweet time with his concubine Qiongjuan while Grandmother He was worshiping the Buddha.

That little concubine is also capable. Over the years, countless women have appeared beside Grandfather He, but none of them can stay for a long time.

Being able to take care of yourself like a young woman in her 40s at a very old age is also hard work.

Grandfather He also regards Qiongjuan as the most caring little padded jacket. He is more willing to chat with her when he is old, and he also prefers the way she clings to and serves him.

They thought it would last forever.

If it wasn't for the news from Xining that the old lady had come out.

old lady?

Hearing this word, both of them subconsciously thought it was Qiongjuan.

It took me a while to regain my senses before I remembered that there was a genuine Mrs. He.

What is she doing?

The two looked at each other, wanting to see the answer in the other's eyes.

"Master, Madam said she was waiting for you in the living room." Xining said coldly.

He didn't even look at Qiongjuan when he spoke.

When did Qiongjuan receive such contempt since the old lady was closed in the ancestral hall.

She, who had always been respected by others, suddenly received a cold reception, and her anger couldn't be calmed down.

But this person is Mrs. He's personal maid, but she has an official position, so she dare not be presumptuous no matter what.

After thinking about it, he swallowed back the anger he was about to express.

Grandfather He was used to seeing big scenes, although he was surprised now, he still nodded and said to see Mrs. He right away.

After that, Grandfather He asked Qiongjuan to go back to the room first, and he walked towards the living room alone.

Standing behind Grandfather He, Qiongjuan stirred her hands holding the handkerchief, "Master~" Qiongjuan called Grandfather He, "I haven't seen my sister for a long time, and I really want to serve you, why don't you let me and you go together."

Seeing this person who had been with him for decades, Grandpa He felt that he couldn't just leave her behind, so he nodded and agreed that Qiongjuan would go with him.

The two walked there quickly, just to confirm whether the old lady had indeed come out.

Pushing open the door, I saw Mrs. He sitting in the middle.

Even though Mrs. He hardly takes care of herself in the ancestral hall, her years of abstinent life and healthy diet have made her temperament more prominent.

She was originally an elegant princess, but after she got older, she gained a lot of charm and became more graceful and luxurious.

"Qin'er." Grandfather He confirmed that it was his first wife, and walked up to her and called her name affectionately.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. He slapped the table with one hand, "Although you and I are married, but I am a princess, and now I am older than the current generation of the Holy Majesty, and you call me by my name directly?!"

Grandfather He was startled, he had forgotten the things that need to be followed after marrying the princess.

"Etiquette cannot be discarded, you should pay more attention when we meet in the future."

These few words chilled Grandfather He's heart. His official position is not low, and it has been many years since he was unable to step down from power!

But at this time, despite his many dissatisfaction, he still needs to follow the etiquette, "I pay my respects to the Eldest Princess!"

"Well, get up." Grandma He asked Grandpa He to sit next to her according to the custom of husband and wife.

While doing this, Mrs. He kept looking at Qiongjuan from the corner of her eye.

This is the woman who ordered and encouraged others to harm my son.

If it weren't for years of good self-cultivation, Mrs. He would have replaced Qiongjuan long ago and dragged her out with sticks and beat her to death.

But how could Mrs. He be willing to let her die?

She also wants Qiongjuan to experience the pain of her children and grandchildren's hopeless future.

At least after tasting these, Mrs. He can relieve her hatred a little bit.

Moreover, Mrs. He, who is dedicated to the Buddha, is still unwilling to control her life at will.

Because life or death is not her business.

After Grandfather He sat down, Mrs. He turned to look at Qiongjuan.

"This is……?"

"This is Qiongjuan, don't you remember? At that time, the two of you were like sisters..." Grandpa He answered quickly, but was interrupted before he finished speaking.

"Enough," Qingtong sisters?When Mrs. He heard this, she felt disgusted. If she hadn't been cautious enough to let this vicious woman into the mansion, how could she have harmed her children and grandchildren.

"When did she become sisters with me? Don't you know my identity? Don't you know her identity? Or... Are you dissatisfied with my Anqi family?"

Listening to Mrs. He's thorny words, grandfather He's forehead broke out in cold sweat, why does he always have a bad feeling!

However, Qiongjuan kept looking at Grandpa He as if asking for help, which made him very unbearable.

"He Hong," Mrs. He called Grandpa He, "I haven't seen you for so many years, I forgot how to practice the basic etiquette. What kind of place is this? The living room! Why do you put all kinds of people in it?" !" Mrs. He frowned and looked dissatisfiedly at Qiongjuan who was standing below.

"This..." Sweat dripped from Grandpa He's head, "Juan'er has been with me for a while, can I give her some privileges?"

"Heh~" Mrs. He looked at Grandpa He sarcastically, "What kind of person is she? She even mentioned privileges?"

Grandfather He realized that he had said something out of line just now, and wished he could take it back.

"I don't mean anything else. It's just that the two of you got along well before, so you said that because you were speechless for a while..."

"Okay." Mrs. He looked disinterested, "I don't care about this, I just called you here this time to let you know that in the morning after tomorrow, all relevant people in the He Mansion need to gather together, I have something to do To announce."

Madam He seemed to be tired after speaking, she got up and went back to her room to rest.

The original room had long been used as their bedroom by Grandfather He and Qiong Juan, and now they had no choice but to dump it out and move it elsewhere.

The news of Mrs. He's coming out spread all over the He Mansion immediately, and everyone was surprised and happy when they heard it.

He's father and mother's family are naturally very happy.

How did you persuade your mother to go to the ancestral hall for retreat? Now that she is out, she can't let her go in casually. They have to do their utmost filial piety~!

The eldest lady and the elder are not so happy.

Madam He's appearance was like tearing off the cloth covering them, exposing them to the sun, dazzling and uncomfortable.

What's more, it's the uneasiness about Mrs. He's appearance.

They feel that their lives will change dramatically as a result.

After the man in black replied to An Qijin, An Qijin waited. He wanted to see how Mrs. He would appear in front of everyone.

Sure enough, it was almost the same as his idea, and it was closer to what he wanted to achieve.

No matter how long a tiger lies dormant, it will never turn into a cat.

dong dong dong...

There was a knock on the door.

He opened the door and saw that it was Xiaohe.

"Why are you in the mood to find me?" An Qijin said with a smile.

He Ze laughed: "I can find you whenever I feel like~"

"Speaking of business, my grandmother came out of the ancestral hall. I just got the news and I'm going to pay a visit. Speaking of which, you also have some relationship with my grandmother, do you want to go together~"

In fact, because He Ze didn't have much memory of his grandmother in his mind, he was worried that he would reveal something when he went alone, so he used excuses to drag An Qijin along.

At least there is someone who can let him observe his grandmother's personality carefully so that he can determine how to get along with her in the future.
