Chapter 171 Envelopes
Jiang Baoyu was supported by the coachman to climb up the wall of Zhou's house, and saw two eight-foot-tall black-clothed guards in front of him, who were holding swords against Mu Gui's neck. Seeing her coming up, Mu Gui raised his head and called her.

"Don't come down quickly, why are you standing there? Can't you stay here alone as a teacher?"

Jiang Baoyu: "..."

Yes, come and hit me.

But she didn't have time to react, so she was dragged down by one of the guards, tied up, and brought the two of them to Old Madam Zhou's bed.

Although the old man was lying on the bed, his complexion looked quite good, and he didn't look like someone who was dying at all.

At this moment, I saw Mu Gui and Jiang Baoyu being pushed in, saying that they came in over the wall in the backyard, and they had the emperor's badge on them.

The old lady was a little dumbfounded.

"Okay, okay, if my godson hadn't given the two guards death orders and told them to listen to me alone, now I am afraid that I can't even guard this safe place, and I want to be quiet. It’s impossible to die quietly.”

The old lady smiled wryly, and suddenly regained her energy, asked someone to support her, sat up on the bed, looked at Mu Gui and Jiang Baoyu and said, "Okay, let the old man take a look, I'm so cute." What kind of unusual funeral did the capable godson bring to the old man?"

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the face of the old housekeeper who came with him was even uglier.

"Going back to the old lady, there is no gift, just a bamboo basket, which is full of scissors, needles and thread, almost empty-handed."

"He came empty-handed?"

Mrs. Zhou frowned, and said again: "But because you climbed over the wall and came in, so you haven't had time to bring it in yet?"

The old housekeeper then said: "The coachman outside has also been caught, and there is nothing in the car."

"Really came empty-handed?"

Mrs. Zhou was surprised, and soon laughed again, and the blood on her face became more bloody when she laughed.

Jiang Baoyu watched from the side, feeling more and more incomprehensible, and couldn't help but said: "The old matriarch is really strange, calling the emperor one by one, but looking forward to the gift from the emperor, what in the world is that?" If you have a mother, you will die, why should a son come to deliver the funeral?"

Jiang Baoyu didn't say these words impulsively, she also had a lot of deliberation.

Although it was the first time for her to meet the old Matriarch Zhou, she had watched the nanny in charge passing on the words of the old Madam Zhou outside the door, and found that whether she was talking to the queen or the prince, she only talked about mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, grandparents and grandchildren. There are no monarchs and ministers.

And looking at the reactions of Chen Shangfu and Jiang Yuanhui, they didn't find it strange at all.

It shows that Mrs. Zhou has such a straight-forward temperament, and such a person must also like people who are as straight-forward as her.

Instead of keeping your doubts in your heart and begging her to hear them in private, it is better to say them directly, maybe taking a gamble can make her look at you differently.

Sure enough, as soon as Jiang Baoyu said this, Mrs. Zhou's eyes fell on Jiang Baoyu immediately, and she raised her hand to stop the housekeeper who was about to teach Jiang Baoyu a lesson.

"What a pair of sharp teeth! It's just that if he didn't come to give gifts, why did he send you two? Come and see if the old lady is dead? Cough cough cough!"

Mrs. Zhou became angry and began to cough uncontrollably. The surrounding maids immediately brought the handkerchief, and took a mouthful of blood after a while.

It was only after seeing the blood handkerchief with his own eyes that Jiang Baoyu clearly realized that Mrs. Zhou was really dying.

After Mrs. Zhou's cough was not so severe and she calmed down a bit, Jiang Baoyu continued: "The old lady is right, but not entirely right.

The emperor sent his daughter and master here not only to watch the old lady die, but also to let us accompany you through the final journey so that you can leave with dignity without regret. "

If it were someone else, upon hearing Jiang Baoyu's words, he would die of rage and take her away along the way.

Even Mu Gui felt that Jiang Baoyu's words were too bold, so he couldn't help frowning and turning his head to look at her.

But Mrs. Zhou started giggling, looking at Jiang Baoyu with a much gentler look in her eyes, she couldn't help pointing at Jiang Baoyu and said with a smile: "You little girl, where did you find it? Hahaha, you are more courageous than me. The sky is still big, do you know that even the emperor himself would not dare to speak like this in front of the old man?"

"Old Madam, you are not in good health, take care of yourself."

As soon as Mu Gui's voice came out, Mrs. Zhou's gaze immediately shifted to her again.

"It's you?"

It didn't take long to remember, and the eyes of Mrs. Zhou's eyes immediately shone with joy.

"When did you go back to the palace to work again? Haha! I should have thought about it long ago. Now that Rong Xi is gone, those who work in the palace and dare to climb the wall to enter my house, who else is it?"

The old lady was rarely happy, and a smile appeared on Mu Gui's face.

"Old Madam, my servant has brought you Rongxi's granddaughter."

"Rongxi's granddaughter?"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhou hurriedly looked at Jiang Baoyu, and suddenly said: "I just said, it turns out to be Rongxi's granddaughter, come here quickly, let the old man take a good look at it."

Jiang Baoyu looked confused, why does this old lady still have some relationship with her aunt?

She quickly looked to Mu Gui for help, but Mu Gui just smiled at her, but didn't tell her to come forward. I have something to say to you."

The old matriarch looked at Mu Gui's expression, thought about the reason and time of her coming here, and suddenly understood something, the smile on his face faded, and immediately ordered to the left and right: "You all go out, the old man and Mu Shangfu Talk alone for a while."

As she said that, she looked at Jiang Baoyu with a smile again, only thinking that she was very similar to Jiang Rongxi when she was a child, and couldn't help liking her a little more.

"Get some delicious food for this little girl, she's so skinny, don't delay her growing up."

The housekeeper took a look at Jiang Baoyu. Although he could not be called fat, he was by no means thin, and he was clearly of a normal figure.

The old lady probably regarded Jiang Baoyu as a close junior, and she developed a grandmother mentality.

But since the master gave the order, these servants must obey the order, so he came over, led Jiang Baoyu out, and sent the others away from the old lady's yard.

In the quiet small courtyard, the old woman's surprised voice came from the white window screen.

"You said Rong Xi didn't die of illness?"

"Tell me clearly, what is going on here?"

"Old Madam, please calm down. At this time, you must calm down, otherwise the officials will not dare to speak any more."

The old lady stretched out her hand and stroked her chest twice, trying her best to calm down. When her face recovered and she was no longer panting, Mu Gui took out a letter from her bosom and handed it to the old lady Zhou.

"This is a letter that Rongxi wrote to me before the accident. In order to deceive others, she wrote it with charcoal inside the envelope. This is the method you taught us when the three of us worked with the old lady."
