The Lady of the Big House in the Red House

Picking up the teacup and taking a sip of the new tea, "The emperor's mind is becoming more and more elusive now."

"Then don't be unpredictable, just don't make mistakes." Xu Hui asked Jinmian to bring bird's nest soup with rock sugar, "Drink this cup of bird's nest. I'll have someone boil hot water for you, and you can take a bath after drinking it Well, you didn't drink too much wine today."

"Can I not drink the guest's toast?" Jia She said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm not bad at drinking."

Whoever asks you how much you drink, if you hurt your stomach, you will know it's terrible!

Just after Jia Lian's first birthday, bad news spread from the palace: Mrs. Xie had a miscarriage and gave birth to a boy.Guiren Xie was in Concubine Zhen's palace. Xu Hui still remembered that when she entered the palace in August, the Empress told Concubine Zhen that as long as Guiren Xie could give birth to a dragon fetus, she would be named the Lord of the First Palace. Within a month, Xie Guiren had a miscarriage.

"Nowadays it is rumored in the palace that Concubine Zhen can't see Xie Guiren taking advantage of her pregnancy to be pampered in front of her, and wants to give her some color, but doesn't want to hurt the dragon fetus." Meng said.October [-]th is Meng's birthday, Xu Hui took Jia Lian home together to celebrate Meng's birthday.Because the Xu family said that they would not entertain other guests this time, all the female relatives sitting in the flower hall were family members, and the matter of Mrs. Xie's miscarriage was also brought up.

"Not long ago, when I went to pay my respects to the empress, the empress said that Xie Guiren is in good health, but I didn't expect such news to come out in a few days." Xu Hui's sister-in-law Lu said, "When Xie Guiren had a miscarriage, Zhen Guifei It happens to be on the side, no wonder such rumors spread in the palace."

"Mr. Xie Gui is young, beautiful and gracious. Even if Concubine Zhen doesn't like her, she shouldn't be like this. I heard that the emperor is angry and wants to demote Concubine Zhen." Xu Hui also listened to Mother Jia, "Before I also met Concubine Zhen when I went to pay my respects to the empress. I saw that she was domineering and arrogant, but she didn't seem like someone who would hurt the emperor's blood. Besides, the emperor treats her very well now, and she will return home to visit her relatives on the southern tour next year. Given the opportunity, Concubine Zhen would not dare to suffer at this time."

"You fight against each other in the palace, and we don't know whether Concubine Zhen was framed or did it unintentionally." Meng embraced Jia Lian, "It's just that you also know that Concubine Zhen has always been rampant in the palace, and now what happened to her , the concubines in the palace are afraid that they will be thrown into trouble. Even if the king of Shun County pleads for mercy, the emperor will not be lenient."

Here the emperor just found out that he would go on a southern tour, and Concubine Zhen was given the grace to go back to the Zhen family to visit her family, but there was news that Concubine Zhen deliberately made things difficult for the pregnant concubine in order to thank her for the miscarriage. It was a coincidence.Xu Hui lowered her eyes. Although Zhen Yingjia is far away in Jinling, there are many butlers sent by Zhen Yingjia in the capital during this time. Could this be a warning from the emperor to the Zhen family?But no matter how cruel the emperor was, he wouldn't joke about his child's life.Xu Hui thought about Liu's matter again, and for the first time felt that the fight between women was more cruel than that between men.

"By the way, sister." Lu Shi seemed to think of something suddenly, "I heard that a housemate next to my uncle got sick?"

"Yes, why do sister-in-law ask such a question?"

"Speaking of which, I've heard of one thing," said Lu holding her handkerchief, "I heard that some people in the suburbs of Beijing also contracted the same disease, and several tenant farmers died. I don't know if it has anything to do with it." .”

"Where did sister-in-law hear the news?" Xu Hui asked hastily.

"There is a Zhuangzi in my dowry in the suburbs of Beijing. The manager of the Zhuangzi mentioned it to me when he reported the harvest that day. I didn't pay attention to it at the time. Now I think of your Jia's affairs and feel a little inappropriate. "Lu Shi replied, "But it's just a land bought by an ordinary family in the capital, and it has nothing to do with Rongguo Mansion."

"It's hard to say, I'll have someone check it out." Xu Hui said, "It's impossible that there will be no problems in other places in the capital, but there is something wrong in my place."

"It's okay to check, now that you have a brother by your side, you should be more cautious." Meng said, "These killers use such vicious methods, no matter who they are, you can't tolerate them." her."

"I understand what my mother said, and I must not let such a thing happen again in the mansion."

No.20 Five times the truth comes to light

Aunt Luo stood shivering in the middle of the room, her fingers kept twisting the hem of her clothes.In the winter of November, although the ground dragon in the house was already burning, she still felt the coolness behind her back, and she couldn't guess the reason why the eldest wife called her over, but the ominous premonition in her heart was getting stronger and stronger.The maids in the room didn't seem to see her anxious appearance, and stood on the side watching her nose, nose, nose, and heart.

Xu Hui walked around the screen and came out from the room. Seeing Aunt Luo's guilty face, she didn't say anything, she just sat on the couch first, and waived her courtesy, picked up the teacup and sipped slowly, It seems to be savoring some delicious food.

Aunt Luo couldn't hold her breath at first, so she asked, "I don't know what orders Madam has for calling the servants?"

Xu Hui raised her eyes and glanced at her, and saw that she was only 30 years old, and she was already dressed like the nuns in the house. She didn't dare to put on brightly colored clothes, and there seemed to be faint fine lines on the corners of her eyes and brows.Taking a closer look, you can see the bruises under her eyes are clearly visible. She must have not slept well during this time, so she said, "I came here to ask you, have the Liu family's original house been taken care of? Forget it." There should be enough time in the sun."

Aunt Luo breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly responded: "Yes. Everything has been dealt with according to my wife's instructions."

"I don't worry about your work. After all, you have been by the master's side for more than ten years." Xu Hui said with a smile.Aunt Luo's original name was Luo Ying, and she had been with Jia She since she was a child. When Jia She was acquainted with people, Jia's mother opened her face with Aunt Qiu Qiuhui and made her a roommate. Later, Jia She married her. After that, his wife was promoted to be an aunt, but it's a pity that she has nothing to do.Until a few years ago before Rong's favor, she and Aunt Qiu had always had equal sex.

"It's a slave's blessing to be able to work for my wife." Aunt Luo finally settled down. It turned out that the wife came to her to ask about this matter. She was scaring herself after all.

"You are an old man in the house, and your mother is the old master's nanny, so the master will let you and your family go out." Xu Hui narrowed her eyes slightly, and slowly fiddled with the tea bowl in her hand, making noises one by one Sheng Sheng said, "I heard that your brother is a smart man. He became the shopkeeper of an antique shop in the west of the city. I am afraid that he has made a lot of money. Now he can buy land in the suburbs of Beijing. But I didn't expect you to look timid. In fact, he is also a vicious one, who dares to bring infectious diseases into the mansion!" After saying that, the tea bowl was slapped on the table.

The more Aunt Luo listened, the more she felt that something was wrong. When she heard the last sentence, she couldn't maintain her original expression. With the sound of the teacup "Kala", her legs softened and she knelt on the ground.A soft and comfortable woolen blanket had already been spread on the ground, and it wouldn't hurt to kneel with such strength, but she clearly felt the vicious gaze from the eldest wife, as if it wanted to burn her to death from the inside out.In order to save her own life, she could only cry, "Ma'am, this servant has been wronged!"

"I'm wronged, so the vegetable garden thirty miles away from the suburbs of Beijing doesn't belong to your younger brother?" Xu Hui snorted disdainfully, "I've already sent someone to check it out. If you don't want your brother to be imprisoned, just be good." Explain clearly to me, or I will have someone notify the government and punish you severely!"

"Madam, please forgive me!" Aunt Luo already had a ghost in her heart, and she was afraid of hurting her shopkeeper's younger brother, so she could only tell the whole story, "The servant listened to the slander and saw that the Liu family was disrespectful to the servant, so she got up. Dealing with her thoughts! But the servant did not intend to kill her, the servant does not know that the disease is so serious, please forgive me!"

"Who taught you such a vicious method?" Xu Hui ignored Aunt Luo's crying and asked directly.

"Yes, it's Mrs. Huo from the sewing room..." Aunt Luo choked up a few times before crying, "She said she couldn't get used to Mrs. Liu's flirtatious behavior, and she also said that Mrs. Liu made her make a fool of herself in the past, so she told her The servants conspired together to deal with the Liu family. It happened that the servants knew that the servant's younger brother, Zhuangzi, had a rash, so they wanted to make the Liu family suffer from a serious illness like last year, so they asked people to bring the things used by the sick person into the house. This servant really doesn't know that the disease is so severe!"

"Whether you know it or not, now that Mrs. Liu is dead, you are in danger of being killed." Xu Hui then ordered Mother Li, "Find some strong women and tie up Mrs. Huo for me! "

Aunt Luo knew that the situation was over, so she fell to the ground in a daze, muttering "It's over, it's over", as if she had lost her mind.

Huo's confession was also quick, and she even looked very calm, as if she had expected to be exposed one day.Liu's pink butterfly had no problem wearing floral satin, but she insisted on sewing the clothes herself after contracting the cold, but she didn't want the border materials to be touched by sick people, so she suffered a disaster.Mrs. Huo and Aunt Luo wanted to deal with Mrs. Liu, but because of their own selfishness, they made the other two girls fall ill together.The girl who was seriously ill had already recovered, and Xu Hui felt sorry for her suffering such a big crime at such a young age, so she was transferred to her own room as a third-class maid.

Mother Jia is naturally very concerned about the incident of human life.When she learned that Aunt Qiu, whom she valued in the past, conspired with the Huo family sent to kill Liu family a few years ago, the expression on her face was quite rich.Xu Hui didn't care whether Jia's mother was embarrassed or not, she just said: "I don't worry about keeping them after all, the daughter-in-law has discussed it with the old man.
