[Red Mansion] Ronghua Road of Mrs. Hou's Mansion

Another meditation room.

Looking at the figure walking in the rain and fog, Qingzhu closed the door.

"The weather was fine, but it suddenly rained. It's really bad luck."

Gu Chaoyu was embroidering flowers by candlelight with a basket in hand and a stretcher.

Suddenly, the candle made a crisp sound, and she said lightly, "Even if it rains now, what effect does it have? It will still be sunny tomorrow."

I don't know since when, Gu Zhaoyu didn't like talking very much.To be precise, there are no sisters who like to pinch their heads before, and seem to deliberately avoid the sisters of the third room.

Feng is pleased with Gu Zhaoyu's change, even though she hates sister Gu Qionghua, she should be more generous on the surface.

She smiled and said, "What Zhao Yu said is that as long as tomorrow comes, who will pursue what happened tonight?"

When the scandal between Sister Feng and Jia Rui is exposed, the old lady will hate her as much as she liked her before.At that time, without her fanning the flames, the old lady will ask Gu Xing to retire Sister Feng late.After some time has passed, she will arrange for her natal family to come in and be Gu Xingchi's successor, then half of the big house will be in her hands.

"Xu Xi won't betray us?" Gu Chaoyu said.

"If it happens, everyone tacitly hopes that the other party will forget about it. How can we talk about betrayal? Even if it fails, so what if she betrays us, who will believe it? You must know that the Gu family and the Xu family have never dealt with each other. They will believe that we joined forces with Xu Xi to do this, but they will think that Xu Xi became angry and bit at random, trying to cause the Gu family to fight. But if Xu Xi has a brain, he will not betray us."

Qingzhu smiled and said: "Girl, don't worry, Madam's words are definitely right."

"In this way, we can destroy the Wang family without dirtying our hands. It's perfect." Feng Shi said, "More importantly, if we want to succeed, we must arrange manpower. Now Gu Xingchi was recalled to the palace by His Majesty, but he arranged for people to protect the Wang family, we alone cannot accomplish this. Xu Xi, as the daughter of the Xu family's first wife, is also on good terms with the Sixth Princess, for them, it couldn't be easier."

Hearing what Feng said, Gu Zhaoyu's heart finally let go.

"However, my daughter still has a question." She put down her needle and thread, and frowned, "It's fine for Xu Xi, after all, when you meet your rival in love, you are extremely jealous. But Princess Six, who thinks she is noble, why does she have to help Xu Xi? She doesn't seem to have any animosity with the third sister-in-law?"

Feng Shi shook her head, "I don't know either. However, even if the Sixth Princess and the Wang Family have any problems, what does it have to do with us? As long as we can use their hands to destroy the Wang Family."

Gu Zhaoyu nodded.

Feng said again: "Zhao Yu, if our cooperation with Xu Xi and the Sixth Princess is successful, we can also leave a good impression in front of them. The Sixth Princess is the queen's favorite daughter. The Xu family is powerful, and you will definitely have it." benefit."

She almost didn't say that the crown prince would definitely ascend to the throne, and the Xu family would be able to cover the sky with one hand.

Thinking of something, Gu Zhaoyu was startled, then lowered his head, "Yes."

As time passed, the sky outside became dark, and the lights in the yard also became dim and misty, illuminating the ravines and ravines on the ground.

Qingzhu had been drowsy for a long time, Gu Zhaoyu and Feng Shi were so excited that they couldn't sleep, they were always paying attention to the movement outside.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.Shocked, Feng stood up abruptly, "It's done?"

Qingzhu was also woken up by fright, and hurried to open the door when she heard the eager knock on the door.Before she could say a word, the people outside pushed her away and squeezed in.

"Eh......"

Taking a closer look, it was Jingshui, the maid beside Xu Xi.

"Miss Jingshui, is everything done?" Feng asked impatiently.

The surface of the still water was cold, without a trace of elation.

Feng's heart skipped a beat, and he asked tentatively, "Ms. Xu asked you to tell me the good news?"

Jing Shui thought that Mrs. Feng was the second wife of the Gu family, and held back her temper, "Successful? No one is in the room, how can it be successful? Thanks to our girl's trust in you, I got your news and urged our wife to come to Qingxu to observe the incense , and begged the sixth princess, and borrowed manpower from her, how much we trust you, but how do you do things?"

Feng was dumbfounded, "What does Miss Jingshui mean by that?"

"What do you mean?" Jing Shui smiled instead of anger, "The room was completely pitch black, we just thought that people had fallen asleep, and wanted to rob people away, but who would have thought that there were no ghosts inside, so who could be robbed?" , how to catch rape? We braved the rain to help you, are you playing tricks on us?"

Feng Shi staggered, his whole body was cold, and he dared not say anything: "No one, how could there be no one? The weather is like this, and the night is dark, where can she go?"

Jing Shui sneered, "I'm going to ask you this, she lives in the same hospital as your Gu family, don't you even know about this?"

Feng grasped the handkerchief tightly, his palms were sticky with sweat.

Could it be that the plan was ruined?No, it's not possible.No one knows about such a secret except for a few of them.But if Sister Feng is not a prophet, where did she go?

Jing Shui said: "Since you don't know, then the servant girl will go back."

Thinking of Xu Xi's panic-stricken appearance just now, she felt a pain in the head, and she was even more frightened when Xu Xi scolded her as a punching bag.It was in order to vent his unhappiness on Feng Shi by coming to Feng Shi to deliver the news.

But Feng Shi is not wronged, she is indeed stupid.

The night was dark and windy, the courtyard was silent, only the sound of rain beating on the window could be heard.

After a long time, Mrs. Feng sat back on the chair and closed her eyes, "Where did Mrs. Wang go?"

She would not think that anyone leaked the news, because only she, Gu Zhaoyu and Qingzhu knew about the plan, and Qingzhu would not betray them.

"It really is a goblin." Gu Zhaoyu said bitterly, "Mother, don't worry, wait until tomorrow to find out."

Of course, it would be best if Sister Feng didn't come back tomorrow, and her reputation would still be ruined.

But in the end they were disappointed.On the second day, in Mrs. Gu's room, I saw Sister Feng who hadn't returned all night, and Sister Feng was the first to come.

Feng's eyelids twitched, and he forced a smile and said, "Sister Feng is here so early today?"

Sister Feng applied a lot of rouge on purpose today to cover up her haggard complexion.

Feng already knew that she hadn't returned all night, and seeing her makeup like this again, she believed that she had a secret, and she became more and more proud.He just didn't want to reveal it, and wanted to keep staring at her, and when the time came, he would lead someone to catch her.

She was already thinking about how to tell Xu Xi about this.

After waiting for nearly a moment, the old lady came out after washing up, and then ordered someone to set meals.

Only then did Feng's concern concern: "I see that Sister Feng is not in good spirits today, but didn't she sleep well last night?"

Sister Feng's smile faltered, and she smiled with a guilty conscience, "I recognize the bed, so I didn't sleep all night."

Wang really lied!Feng's heart rejoiced, and he became more confident.With a smile on his face, he said: "In that case, go back to sleep after breakfast. Originally, my mother said that I would go to the back mountain of Qingxu Temple together, but now you can't go."

Mrs. Gu smiled and said: "The scenery won't run away there, anyway, we have to stay here for a few days, and it's the same when we go tomorrow."

Sister Feng pulled Mrs. Gu's hand, and said coquettishly: "I knew that grandma loved me the most."

As he said that, he was going to serve Mrs. Gu some vegetables.

Mrs. Gu held up her chopsticks and stopped her, "Okay, don't be too busy, let's eat."

Sister Feng didn't refuse, she just put down her serving chopsticks and sat down.

Mrs. Gu is a very easy-going old lady. Whether it is a daughter-in-law or a grand-daughter-in-law, she treats them fairly, and will not intentionally set rules for them. Therefore, she does not want them to serve her for dinner.

I remember that in the previous life, Sister Feng married Jia Lian, and every time she had a meal with Jia Mu, she had to wait on her left and right. One was to please Jia Mu, and the other was that Jia Mu never refused, so she dared not neglect.Every time she has to wait for Jia Mu to eat almost, she will eat quietly.

In comparison, being Mrs. Gu's granddaughter-in-law is much easier.

Seeing Sister Feng's behavior like this, Mrs. Feng felt disdainful, did she think she was the only one who would coax the old lady?

Gu Qiongju asked curiously: "Third sister-in-law, didn't third brother come back last night?"

Sister Feng said: "Yesterday, Lord Marquis was recalled to the palace by His Majesty, and later he sent a letter from the servant, saying that His Majesty gave him an errand, and he can't escape for the time being, so he can't accompany Grandma to watch and play in Qingxu."

Gu Qiongju smiled, showing all her fine teeth, "Grandma doesn't need the company of the third brother, it's true that the third brother can't accompany the third sister-in-law. Hey, it's a pity that the scenery here is only left for the beautiful woman to enjoy, how lonely it is. "

Mrs. Liu nodded her forehead lightly, "You girl, you dare to say anything." Turning around, she confiscated the girl's notebook.

Sister Feng just lowered her head and smiled without saying a word.

Mrs. Liu thought she was shy, but Mrs. Feng thought she was guilty.She thought, Sister Feng must have done something shameful at night without telling everyone.

After leaving the old lady's room, Sister Feng went back to her room to rest.She was really sleepy. In the room where Sister Qiao lived, there was no bed or bedding. She sat on the kneeling mat with Heping'er, leaning against the wall and managed to sleep for several hours, but she didn't sleep well.She must sleep enough today, and she will be awake at night.

Sister Feng naturally knew Feng's thoughts, and also knew that she would definitely report the news, that's what she wanted.

Ping'er brought a basin of hot water, and put a hot cloth towel on Sister Feng's eyes, so as to reduce her fatigue.

Ping'er said distressedly: "Madam, are you still going tonight?"

Sister Feng sighed: "You have to do enough acting. You should also take a good rest, or your body won't be able to bear it."

When Sister Feng woke up, it was already afternoon.After re-washing, I pushed open the door and found that the sun was setting and the sky was full of rays. The whole Qingxu temple was shrouded in rays of light. The clear river water shone with colorful waves, and the birds flew across the river and passed through the clouds, singing The sound is crisp and sweet.

Sister Feng's mood also became very good, she looked up at the not-so-soft sunshine, "Come out for a walk with me."

"Is the Jia family still staying on the mountain?"

Ping'er said: "Yesterday, there was a lot of carriages and horses, and it took a lot of time to enter the Qingxu temple. It took longer to do the ritual, and it rained last night, and the road was muddy. It is best not to go down the mountain today. Many people also They didn’t leave today, so naturally the Jia family did too.”

Then, she looked around and said something in Sister Feng's ear.

Sister Feng smiled sweetly, "That's good."

"Ma'am, where are we going now?"

"I want to ask for a peace talisman."

Ping'er opened his mouth and said joyfully: "My servant understands. But I heard that there is a wishing tree here, and I heard that as long as you hang a red ribbon on the tree to pray for blessings, your wish will be granted."

Sister Feng's heart was moved, "I'll go ask for a peace talisman later."

Ping'er gave Xiaodaotong a pack of chestnut cakes, and found out where the "Wishing Tree" was.

After a while, the two saw a fiery red, swaying in the wind, and a large group of people gathered there, and Sister Feng knew that this was where the tree was.

Ping'er bought a few red strings with a few copper coins, and together with Sister Feng, they hung the red strings on the tree like those people, making a wish with a pious face.

"Ma'am, shall we leave now?" After a while, Ping'er asked.

"My cousin is here too." When Sister Feng turned her head, she saw a man behind her, with a rippling smile, and holding a folding fan, pretending to be flirtatious.

Sister Feng smiled slightly, it was Jia Rui again, he really didn't give up.

"Is there something wrong with my cousin, that she also came here to make a wish?" Seeing that Sister Feng didn't answer, he asked again.

Sister Feng still ignored him and left here, and Heping'er went to a place with few people.

I don't know if I accidentally left a brocade handkerchief behind.

Jia Rui picked up the handkerchief and hurried to catch up, calling 'cousin' repeatedly.

Sister Feng just ignored him, walking faster and faster.

Since Jia Rui saw Sister Feng from afar yesterday, she has been thinking about her all the time, only suffering from not being able to see her, and finally seeing her today, how can he let her go?Therefore, he also quickened his pace and followed.

Arriving at a remote place, where there was no one around, Sister Feng finally stopped.Turning around, he said coldly: "Why is Uncle Rui so entangled, don't you know how to avoid suspicion?"

Jia Rui held the handkerchief in front of her face and said with a playful smile: "my cousin left her handkerchief, if other men picked it up and publicized it, my cousin would not be able to wash it off even if she jumped into the Yellow River. I saw it and picked it up kindly. I sent it to you, but you didn't appreciate it, I'm really sad."

Ping'er raised his hand to grab it, but Jia Rui quickly withdrew his hand, smiling triumphantly.

Ping'er didn't dare to speak loudly, and reprimanded in a low voice: "Master Rui, what do you mean?"

Jia Rui sniffed the brocade handkerchief, "It smells so good. I've never seen such a good handkerchief. Cousin is kind, just give it to me as a thought."

Ping'er sneered and said, "Uncle Rui's words are so unreasonable. How can you just give the handkerchief of a female relative to a man?"

"Miss Ping is really cruel, your master hasn't spoken yet." Jia Rui narrowed his eyes and looked at Sister Feng.

Sister Feng shook hands, "Are you threatening me?"

Jia Rui hurriedly said: "What are you talking about, cousin? How can you be so smart, how can you not know what I want? To tell you the truth, since I met you at the Lantern Festival at the Flower Festival, I have never forgotten you." I think of you all the time, I dare not forget for a moment, I look forward to seeing you again one day, as long as I can look at you often, I will die without complaint. But, my cousin can’t see my sincerity, Refuse me thousands of miles away, my heart will be broken. I just ask my cousin to take pity on me and let me..."

"Master Rui, I think you are drunk and talking nonsense." Sister Feng said with a blank expression.

"Am I talking nonsense, cousin doesn't know?"

"I advise Uncle Rui to return the handkerchief to me as soon as possible. I'm going back."

Jia Rui was confident, "If I don't give it to you, what can you do?"

He was sure that Sister Feng would not dare to publicize, nor would she dare to get angry.As far as women are concerned, just gossip can kill a person, if Sister Feng wants to calm things down, she can only obey him.Of course, if there is one, there are two. As long as he continues to threaten her with this matter, she dare not not listen to him.

Sure enough, Sister Feng was startled and angry, "You -- you are really deceiving people too much!"

Jia Rui chuckled, "Cousin, why are you so angry? I really like you. As long as you nod, I will treat you well. Whether you should or not, it's all up to you."

"you dare!"

Jia Rui smiled and said nothing.

"What exactly do you want?" Sister Feng eased her attitude.

Seeing that Sister Feng was loosening, Jia Rui tapped her palm with the handle of her fan, and said, "In four days, the Jia family will go back. The night after four days is your last deadline."

Sister Feng was angry and anxious, with tears in her eyes, and left with a flick of her sleeves.

Jia Rui raised the handkerchief, "I will keep this one for my cousin."

After walking away, Ping'er sneered and said, "The toad wants to eat swan meat, but he doesn't even look at himself. You bastard!"

Sister Feng said with a smile: "Okay, get ready, and you won't be able to sleep all night."

.......

"What you said is true?"

Qingzhu said in a low voice: "This servant is really serious, Mrs. Hou is having a private meeting with someone. The servant followed them all the way, and when they arrived under the wishing tree, they happened to meet that man named Jia Rui, who said something to Mrs. Hou. Madam ignored him, but found a remote place and stopped to talk to Jia Rui. It took a long time for Jia Rui to leave. Jia Rui smiled ambiguously and reluctantly. , very happy."

"Okay, okay, as expected, this restless vixen really recruited a wild man." Feng's face was excited, "Go and tell Jingshui first, and then continue to stare. Don't slack off day and night. This time, you must be careful." Already!"

"Yes."

Qingzhu followed Feng's instructions, and kept watching Sister Feng and the others. Sure enough, Sister Feng went out quietly at night, and watched Sister Feng go into a meditation room with her own eyes.After a while, I saw another person looking around, went in too, and then locked the door tightly.The two of them didn't come out until five o'clock, and it was still the same on the second and third day.

Mrs. Feng learned of Sister Feng's whereabouts and observed her carefully. Sure enough, when she greeted the old lady in the morning, Sister Feng's eyes were black and blue, her expression was tired, and she looked very tired.I don't know if it was due to Feng's preconceived ideas, but she felt that although Sister Feng was not in good spirits, her already bright eyebrows and eyes were even more charming.

She is now completely sure that Sister Feng is stealing.

Feng became more and more excited, thinking about when she would expose Sister Feng. Now that three days have passed, it is time to close the net.

"Ma'am, ma'am." Qingzhu hurried in.

Feng Shi asked, "Is there any movement from Wang Shi's side?"

Qing Zhu nodded, "The servant stared quietly, and found that Mrs. Hou let Ping'er go out again, and it was sneaky."

"What did you say!" Feng stood up abruptly.

"The servant girl said that Madam Hou let Ping'er go out again, and the servant girl heard that Jia's family will go down the mountain early tomorrow morning."

Feng suppressed the mood of jumping up happily, and sat down slowly, "Okay, okay, tonight! You go to inform Jingshui, and then continue to stare at the movement in Wang's room, waiting for her late at night. Go out to a private meeting and let me know."

Qingzhu smiled and said: "Congratulations Madam, you are about to achieve your wish. Tonight, you can see Madam Hou's fate with your own eyes."

Feng raised her lips, "What with my own eyes? I don't know anything, how could I suddenly lead someone to arrest and rape? How can such a virtuous person as Mrs. Hou do such an outrageous thing, I am an elder Trust her."

She is stupid to catch and rape herself, and if her family exposes their own family's scandal, the old lady will definitely blame her, maybe she will suspect that this matter was premeditated by her.Xu Xi only needs to do this, and she only needs to act as a loving elder.

Qing Zhu understood, "Yes, the servant can save it."

At night, Sister Feng sneaked out again, and Feng was overjoyed.

Xu Xi hated Sister Feng who snatched Gu Xingchi away, and wished to see her ruined, mocked her and scolded her personally.So after getting the news from Feng Shi, he sent people to guard the meditation room, and as expected, he saw two people coming over tightly wrapped up, they looked like two women.First they looked around, and then one of them went in while the other watched the wind outside.After waiting for a while, another man came running from another direction, knocked on the door, and entered eagerly, as if he heard the man's laughter.

After a long time, Xu Xi brought the people who had been arranged in advance and wanted to break in the door.

Someone heard the movement outside and opened the door himself.Perhaps it was dark and he couldn't see his feet clearly, so Xu Xi threw himself on the door and fell inside.

Then, there was a laugh from inside, but the next moment, there was a scream.

The deep and loud bell rang, waking up the sleeping people.

Feng didn't close her eyes all night, she got up and got dressed while being served by her maid.

Qingzhu came over to help her up, "Madam didn't sleep all night last night, why don't you sleep more?"

Feng said with a smile: "I have such a big thing on my mind, how can I sleep, it's better to get up early and wait for the news. At this moment, the matter has already been done."

Qingzhu handed her the wet cloth, "At this time, it should be..."

Before the words finished, Zhu Xiao ran in in panic, "It's not good, it's not good——"

Feng wiped his face, and said slowly: "The sky hasn't fallen, what happened to make such a fuss?"

"Yes... yes... a dead person in Qingxu Temple——"
