Kangxi 43 years

Siye Mansion, Xipei Hospital

Yang'er hurried into Song Shi's bedroom and sent out all the other servants, which surprised Song Shi.

"What's the matter with you, what are you doing so mysteriously?" Song put down the coral earrings she was trying on, and frowned at Yang'er's pale face.

"Little master, this servant overheard a great thing today," Yang'er was still panting.

"What's the big deal? Tell me slowly," Song turned around.

"Yes," Yang'er bowed, took a deep breath and continued, "Today, a servant girl went to the big willow tree to find Xi'er for embroidery, and finally heard the conversation between Xi'er and Xu'er."

"Xu'er, isn't that girl from the Wu clan?" Song raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Yes," Yang'er swallowed, "Xi'er walks quite frequently with Xu'er on weekdays. That Xu'er has a very simple temper and doesn't guard against others. Today, a servant heard that she was walking with Xi'er." It is said that Wu Gege treats his servants leniently on weekdays, even Eunuch Su often receives Wu Gege's favor."

"What's the matter?" Mrs. Song covered the corners of her lips with a handkerchief, "She can show her face in front of the fourth elder brother, then Su Peisheng must have helped a lot. Didn't you see it a few days ago, she gave the fourth elder brother It was Su Peisheng who picked up the two insoles himself."

"It's not just that," Yang'er stomped her feet, "I heard Na Xu'er say that Wu Gege usually makes some clothes and boots for Su Gonggong to wear. If this is an ordinary bribe, it's fine to give gold, silver and jewelry, what?" Some people make clothes by themselves."

Song was taken aback, and slowly frowned, Yang'er suppressed her voice and continued, "My lord, do you still remember that day when we met Mr. Su in Wugege's house, the two of them were very strange at that time. Would you like Look at the pair of insoles, Wu Gege is still pushing and resisting. Besides, what is the status of Eunuch Su in the yard, if he really wants to give the two insoles to Lord Baylor, Wu Gege can send someone to send them, why let Eunuch Su come to pick them up. "

"But," Song Shi hesitated to speak, and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Then Su Peisheng is an eunuch."

"It's not unusual for eunuchs," Yang'er leaned closer to Mrs. Song again, "When we were in the palace, the court ladies and eunuchs were not uncommon for food. Moreover, when Wu Gege was still a servant, she We are very close to Eunuch Su. You forgot, Fujin found out that Mrs. Wu was with Lord Belle in the East Courtyard... Eunuch Su was the first one to explain. .”

"Here," Song frowned, stood up and walked back and forth in the room.

"Little master, please make up your mind." Yang'er clenched her hands together tightly, "If you really let this matter go, Lord Belle might look at you with admiration."

"It's not that easy." Mrs. Song glared at Yang'er, her lips twitching dryly, "If this matter gets serious, it will definitely hurt the face of the fourth elder brother. Besides, I am a concubine, and I can send you off." Who is it? No, we have to tell Fujin—”

"Little master," Yang'er stepped forward to stop Song Shi, "you can't let Fujin know about this first, you forgot, Wu Gege came out of Fujin's house. When she hooked up with Su Peisheng, she was still in Fujin's house What about the palace lady. If Fujin knew about it, nine times out of ten he would think about his own face, and turn the big thing into a small one. You will be wasting this opportunity for nothing."

"But, what can I do if I don't tell Fujin?" Mrs. Song turned around and sat by the bed, the handkerchief in her hand was almost balled up.

"My lord, don't panic," Yang'er lowered herself to Song's knee, "You are Da Gege's biological mother and the first one to serve Lord Baylor, besides Fujin and Fujin in this backyard, it belongs to you The biggest."

Mrs. Song took a deep breath, squeezed the handkerchief in her hand, and said in a deep voice, "You have someone call Su Peisheng to the Wu's courtyard, and find two more people to guard the door. This matter should not be publicized." .Since Xi'er knows about it, Li Shi must know about it soon, and I have to be one step ahead of her."

"Yes, this slave is taking orders," Yang'er was overjoyed, saluted neatly and stepped back.

In Li's courtyard, Side Fujin was leaning on the couch, holding a bright red wreath in his hand.With her head down, Xi'er stepped into the door absent-mindedly.

"What's the matter, is it over?" Shi Li glanced at Xi'er, her tone indifferent.

"It's done," Xi'er swallowed, her voice a little hoarse, "just now the boy came to report that Song Gege went to Wugege courtyard, and sent someone to call Su Gonggong."

"Humph," Li said with a sneer, "she's really courageous, I thought she was probably going to find Fujin again. But that's good, just let Fujin see, and Fujin is not someone who can be on this side .”

"My lord, what should we do next?" Xi'er's voice was muffled.

Mrs. Li bent the corners of her lips, and tied another clever knot in her hand, "What can I do, wait..."

Shiyue courtyard

Mrs. Song came for a quarter of an hour, and Su Peisheng also came. Seeing the two nuns guarding the door, Shiyue's heart sank.

"Sister, what do you mean by this? If my sister is not thoughtful, I just say it directly. Why did you call Eunuch Su?"

Su Wei was stunned when he heard it, he thought it was Shiyue looking for him when the servant came to pass on the message just now, but he never thought it was Song Gege.

"It's already at this time, why is my sister acting stupid again?" Mrs. Song put down the tea bowl, wiped her lips with a handkerchief, "a few days ago, my sister's two pairs of insoles were begged by Mr. Su himself. Today I want to ask you If my sister says something heartfelt, of course Eunuch Su must be present."

"I don't understand what sister means," Shiyue glanced at Su Peisheng, and Su Wei shook his head gently.

"Don't understand?" Mrs. Song raised her eyebrows, "Since my sister doesn't understand, let Eunuch Su take off his boots and have a look."

"What's the meaning of this, little master?" Su Wei lowered his voice and bowed his body, "I'm a humble servant, how can I take off my boots in front of my masters? It's really impossible."

"Why can't it be done?" Song raised her chin, "You can even wear the clothes and boots made by the master, why bother to be particular now? Don't worry, Eunuch Su, I just asked people to check Eunuch Su's insoles. See if it's gray satin, black stitching, or if there are double layers of thread expressing your heart."

Shiyue tightened her body slightly, turned her head to look at Song Shidao, "Sister, are you doubting me? With such a big hat on, just a pair of insoles? Sister, have you ever thought about how important a woman's reputation is. If you wronged me, what can my sister do as compensation?"

Mrs. Song was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer, Yang'er interrupted and said, "Wu Gege, don't be angry, our little master is officially worried about Wu Gege's reputation, and you asked people to guard the door to prevent outsiders from entering even if you didn't read it."

Mrs. Song coughed twice, and stopped looking at Shiyue, just staring at Su Weidao, "Grandpa Su, you heard it too, it's about sister Wu's reputation, so please take off your boots and ask the servants to check it." .”

Su Wei looked at Shiyue, with a calm face, bowed slightly to Mrs. Song and said, "Yes, that slave offended."

Su Wei took off his boots in public and took out the insoles. Everyone was stunned. The vermilion satin, bronzing cloud patterns, and high-quality linen soles were all for Lord Belle.

"This—" Song Shi froze in place for a moment, Shiyue pursed her lips, lowered her head and did not speak.

Su Wei laughed twice, and put the insoles back into the boots, "It's obstructing the eyes of the masters, this insole is a gift from Lord Baylor, and the slave is reluctant to change it. After wearing it for several days, it may not smell very good. "

"Song Gege, what else do you want to ask?" Shiyue's face turned frosty, and her voice became cold.

Song Shi pursed her lips and forced herself to be calm. Yang'er clapped her hands aside and called out, "Bring it in!"

The door curtain was lifted, but Xu'er was staggered and pushed in by a woman, her hair was disheveled, her eyes were red and swollen, but she didn't see any trauma.

"What does Song Gege mean?" Shiyue raised her voice, and Xu'er, with tears in her eyes, knelt beside Shiyue, trembling uncontrollably, "Without evidence, Song Gege can interrogate anyone in my room at will ? Song Gege still doesn't care about Lord Baylor and Fujin?"

"Wu Gege, don't be angry," Yang'er bowed and bowed, "Wu Gege, please ask Mrs. Wang if you have anything to say."

Shiyue turned her head to look at the woman who pushed people in. Mrs. Wang swallowed her saliva and knelt down on the ground and said, "I was ordered to ask Miss Xu'er. Miss Xu'er first said that Wu Gege had made boots and clothes for Mr. Su, but later He also said no, it was all made for Lord Baylor, and he refused to open his mouth no matter how much he asked."

Shiyue looked down at Xu'er in her arms, Xu'er was crying, her face was pale, and her body was trembling.

"Look, sister," Song put her elbows on the kang table, "the so-called no wind, no waves, my sister heard the rumors, so she rushed here as soon as possible. You girl now knows that she was wrong. She didn't just say it to someone outside. People listened."

Shiyue pursed her lips, and patted Xu'er's back comfortingly, "My sister came over so aggressively, and tortured me without asking me, what's wrong with me now."

"Sister, don't be stubborn anymore," Song said in a soft voice, "Since Xu'er knows about you, it's impossible for other people in your room to be unaware. Xu'er knows about the protector. Not necessarily the other servants. If this asks something that should not be asked, there is no room for maneuver."

Shiyue looked at Song Shi, then at Su Wei, with a trace of hesitation in her eyes.

Su Wei knew what Shiyue was worried about, and just wanted to speak up, but was blocked by Shiyue, "Since my sister doubts me, my sister must of course prove her innocence. However, my sister is also Lord Baylor's concubine, My sister wants to investigate, please ask Lord Belle first before coming."

"My sister has a good plan," Song snorted softly, "Now Lord Belle is not in the mansion, and when he comes back, my sister will arrange everything here. Besides, this matter is not easy to say. Mrs. Wang," Song said Called instead.

"The servant is here," Mrs. Wang rubbed her hands forward.

Mrs. Song put her hands on her knees, and her voice sank, "Take someone to take all the servants in this room to the wing room, ask them carefully, and make sure to find out the tricks here for Lord Baylor..."

"Your servant obeys," Mrs. Wang stood up and walked outside.

"Stop," Shiyue raised her voice to stop Mrs. Wang, turned her head and said to the Song family, "what right does my sister have to question the people in my house? Although Shiyue's background is not noble, but it is Lord Belle who passed the clan mansion in a serious manner." The one who came in! In our West Secondary Academy, except for the side Fujin, we have never been ranked! Everyone has an ordinary status, and if my sister wants to come to me to show off her prestige, it depends on whether she is qualified or not!"

"How can Wu Gege talk like this?" Yang'er shouted from the side, "Our little master was the first to serve Lord Baylor, and she is also the biological mother of Big Gege. It's clear. Wu Gege is so domineering, but doesn't he take Big Gege or Lord Baylor seriously?"

"Hey," Yang'er's questioning was interrupted by a light drink with a laugh, the curtain was lifted, and side Fujin Li's brocade skirt with a concubine color and a pink gown came slowly, "Sister Wu Why is it so lively here, as soon as I walked to the gate, I heard movement in the house."

Shiyue got up and saluted Li Shifu, and gave up her position to Li Shi, "I will pay my respects to Side Fujin."

"Little sister, get up," Li smiled and helped Shiyue up, then turned to look at Song.

Mrs. Song stood up on the other side of the couch for a while, and finally stood up and gave Mrs. Li a blessing.

"You don't have to be polite, sister." Li frowned, "I just heard about it from the women at the door. Sister really thought too much about it. The last time Lord Baylor came to my place for the night, he mentioned it. Sister Wu is the most considerate. Knowing that Lord Belle values ​​Su Peisheng, she often uses leftovers to make clothes for Eunuch Su. Eunuch Su, although he is not short of money, is not as careful as a girl. He is also the one who lost our fourth master's residence."

Su Wei was stunned by a group of women coming and going, and after listening to Li's words, he leaned down and said, "It's the slave's negligence, which made Lord Baylor and Wu Gege worry about it, and now it's causing such a mess. Big mess, the servant really deserves to fight."

"You can't call me," Li said with a smile, "Master Baylor is waiting for you to serve, and I think it's time to go back home soon. Don't be lazy here, go back to the East Courtyard."

Su Wei raised his head and glanced at Shiyue, then at Song Shi who was in a daze, then leaned down and said, "Yes, this servant will leave now."
