Noble Lady Jing Zhao

The three officials in Cheng'en's Mansion who were officials in the imperial court have all been sent back to the Prince's Mansion by the emperor and are temporarily suspended from their posts.

In the yamen, people are particularly worried about Mr. Ye Si's case.

The emperor was dissatisfied with what the uncle had done.

The princess came from the uncle's house again.

Now this case has really become a hot potato.

I just wish that this case could be handed over to the higher-level department as soon as possible.

Several rooms in the uncle's house gradually complained about this matter.

Especially the second master, who found the old lady that day, and his words were full of dissatisfaction with the fourth brother.

Princess Ye Jingzhen also sent a letter home.

I told the old lady that this matter can be big or small and should not be taken carelessly.

"Go and invite my fourth wife."

The old lady frowned, her face full of sadness.

Even his tone was full of helplessness.

Grandma Yuan said yes and went to the fourth room in person to invite the fourth lady, Mrs. Xue.

The eldest lady Liang heard that the old lady invited her fourth younger sister, Mrs. Xue, to come over and talk.

So he sent someone to invite some of the sisters-in-law of the uncle's house, and they went to the old lady's place together.

Even the second wife, Mrs. Jiang, rarely went to the old lady's house with her sisters-in-law.

"Sister-in-law, you said Aunt Qiu's late husband's family was invited by the fourth sister-in-law."

Along the way, I saw that several sisters-in-law were silent. The fifth lady, Ding, looked for something to say and said.

The sisters-in-law walking in front stopped after hearing this and looked at the fifth younger sister Ding behind them.

The fifth lady, Ding, was a little embarrassed and could only smile awkwardly to ease the atmosphere.

"Fifth younger brother and sister, don't say this nonsense."

Madam Liang's expression was solemn. Although she was admonishing her, there was also a hint of criticism in her eyes.

"Sister-in-law, I took note of it."

The fifth lady, Ding, did something bad with good intentions, so she could only smile to relieve her embarrassment at the moment.

Everyone arrived at the old lady's place.

The door to the main room was now closed, and the maid waiting outside saw several ladies coming from a distance.

He quickly passed the message inside.

The fourth lady, Mrs. Xue, had just come in for a while, but the old lady had not yet turned the topic to Aunt Qiu and her family.

I heard several other daughters-in-law coming.

He frowned in displeasure.

But it was not easy to offend the daughters-in-law, so he naturally ordered them all to be invited in.

"It's quite tidy today, what are you doing here with me, an old lady?" The old lady moved her body, and Grandma Yuan understood.

He quickly took a soft pillow and placed it behind the old lady.

"Mother, today the daughters-in-law came here to ask what mother meant. Now the emperor has sent all the masters back to their homes to rest temporarily."

"The daughters-in-law are thinking that even though it's the fourth brother's matter, the elder brothers can't help but help."

"Only how to help, I still need mother's permission."

Madam Liang stepped forward and talked about the purpose of her visit today.

This was said euphemistically, but underneath the words, emotions were inevitably aroused.

"In that case, the fourth daughter-in-law happens to be here, so you can discuss a charter today to see how to properly handle this matter."

The old lady spread her hands and started to act as a shopkeeper.

The fourth lady Xue's eyelids twitched.

There wasn't much emotion on his face.

"Fourth brother and sister, I wonder if you have any ideas. It might be useful for us to listen to it."

The eldest lady Liang looked at the fourth lady Xue and asked softly.

The fourth lady, Mrs. Liang, shook her head helplessly, "Sister-in-law, I don't have any ideas now. Aunt Qiu's husband's family is always difficult to deal with."

"Now that it has reached this point, I won't hide it from my mother-in-law and several sisters-in-law." "Previously, I didn't want the fourth master to bring Aunt Qiu into the house. I was worried that the family would rely on the uncle's house to help him in the future. It brings inconvenience to the government.”

"But no one in the house paid attention to my worries. Now that my original worries have really come true, there is nothing I can do."

"Now, I have no choice but to do anything. If the government really wants to take away the Fourth Master, I can only go to the temple to pray for the Fourth Master's safety."

When the old lady saw her fourth daughter-in-law, Ms. Xue, she wanted to go to the temple to pray for peace.

She was able to keep her composure because the people behind Aunt Qiu's family who helped her were the Xue family.

"Fourth daughter-in-law, if you sincerely want to go to the Buddha and pray for peace for the fourth child, I will simply ask someone to hitch a carriage and horse today and send you to live in the temple. When will the fourth child return home safely, you can come out of the temple. , which will save your sincerity."

As the old lady spoke, she motioned to the maid to give the order.

The old lady has lived a long life, and Mr. Xue really can't make any waves in front of her.

The fourth lady Xue's face suddenly darkened.

The smile on his face was stiff, so he could only make jokes and get rid of the topic.

"Since you don't want to go to the temple, then go to the government to see the fourth child. Since the fourth child was invited to the Yamen prison yesterday, you, the wife, have not sent anyone to deliver clothes to the fourth child."

The old lady sounded dissatisfied and complained about Mr. Xue.

Mr. Xue had no choice but to bite the bullet and accept the matter.

The old lady asked Mrs.

After all, things have already been taken care of in the prison.

In the end, no result was reached through negotiation.

Everyone dispersed.

Now that the third master is idle at home, he has nothing to do, so he simply discusses with the third wife, Mr. Xie, the items for the construction of a new house next year.

In the study room, the third master sat in front of the desk, with a set of drawings spread out in front of the desk.

It is the layout of a new house. Although it does not require major repairs, it is not too cold.

The third master and his wife naturally lived in the main house.

The west courtyard is for my daughter Ye Jingzhao, and there is an entrance courtyard behind the main house.

Now, of course, it will be given to the second young master Ye Chen.

"Chen'er's yard also needs to be repaired. At the end of next year, when Chen'er gets married, there will be no need to start repairs."

The third master pointed to the courtyard next to the uncle's house on the drawing and said.

"Yes, but I still feel a little wronged by the Lin family girl."

After all, the third lady, Mrs. Xie, felt that the courtyard was a bit small.

If my son lived there, it would be manageable.

But in the future, if I want to marry my daughter-in-law and enter the house, the courtyard I enter may not be enough.

The third master sighed heavily, "After next year, let's save some money and buy another house then."

Although you say this, the salary of the third master for a year is just that.

On the books, there isn't much that can be moved.

Unless the third master is lucky and can make a fortune, it will be really good.

But such good luck can only come if you can ask for it.

"Father, mother, and daughter are also part of the family. The betrothal gifts sent by the Mu family earlier are all in the daughter's warehouse. It's better to move some out now and fill them back when we respond to the emergency."

Ye Jingzhao couldn't bear his parents to worry about money.

suggested.

But this idea was immediately rejected by the third master and the third wife.

As parents, they felt a little guilty about their daughter's marriage.

How can I still be willing to misappropriate my daughter's betrothal gift now?

Furthermore, the dowry prepared for my daughter cannot be moved.

"Third Master, the eldest master is here to ask you to go to the Yamen together."

Outside the study door, a quick voice from Mrs. Wang suddenly came.

In the study, the three masters of the third room felt empty-hearted, and a bad premonition gradually crept into their hearts.
