The concubine was reborn, and the cold prince was made red in the face

Chapter 7 Mrs. Gu’s visit

"My slave didn't hear it," Pan Cui shook his head, "but Pan Xia said this morning that there seemed to be a thief in the Li Mansion next door last night, and they searched the garden for a long time."

Zuo Xiangning frowned lightly, "Our Xianglan Zhai is indeed too close to the garden next door."

"But there is no empty courtyard in our mansion now." Pan Cui said: "But fortunately, the wall between our two mansions is high enough, and ordinary people can't get through."

What if it’s not an ordinary person?
Zuo Xiangning felt her heart pounding when she thought of the man last night.

In her previous life, she spent the whole night burning, and she didn't know if this man had ever been here.

She shook her head slightly.

Whether that man appears or not, it doesn't matter to him.

She smiled and asked Pancui: "How is your mother's health?"

"My mother is very good." Pan Cui said with a smile: "My mother made chili sauce for the girl and asked me to go back and get it in the next two days."

Zuo Xiangning remembers the illness that Pan Cui's mother got at this time in her previous life.

Because she had been ill for almost half a month at that time, Pancui did not call a doctor for her mother in time. She was so tired that her mother was finally saved, but she was unable to move in bed and became a disabled person.

Thinking of this, Zuo Xiangning said: "You will go home soon and take back some of the pickles made by Cai's mother. I remember that your mother likes to eat them, but the pickles are too salty, so I asked your mother not to eat more."

"I thank you girl on behalf of my mother." Pan Cui saluted with a smile, "I will go back in a few days."

"Don't wait for a few days. I'll go back soon." Zuo Xiangning said, "Please ask the doctor to go back with you and get a safe pulse for your mother."

The last time Pancui came home, her mother said she had trouble breathing, and she was thinking about it.

But thinking of Zuo Xiangning's danger yesterday, she still smiled and said: "My mother knows some medical skills. For ordinary minor pains and illnesses, my mother will take her own medicine."

"That's not possible." Zuo Xiangning said sternly: "Older people should ask the doctor to take a look every now and then. It's best if they are not sick. If they are sick, they should be discovered and treated early."

"Hurry up and go soon," Zuo Xiangning urged: "Call Panxia in, I have something to ask her about."

In addition to thinking about Pancui, Zuo Xiangning also thought about Aunt Liu.

Pancui thanked Zuo Xiangning again and again before exiting and calling Panxia in.

Zuo Xiangning asked: "Is there any movement over Aunt Liu and Miss San?"

"I heard from the gatekeeper that Aunt Liu scolded the third girl for a long time yesterday, but I don't know why." Panxia said: "The gate at Ruyiyuan has always been very strict, and the news is rarely revealed. "

"You and Pancui will also clean up the people in our courtyard. Anyone who is close to Ruyiyuan will find a way to get rid of them." Zuo Xiangning said seriously: "If you can't deal with it, just give me your name. I'll figure it out."

"My slave understands." Pan Xia suddenly became happy.

Pan Xia and Pan Cui had always felt that Aunt Liu and her daughter were not good people, but Zuo Xiangning believed in them as if she had taken a potion of ecstasy.

Today, I suddenly became wary of them. How could Panxia be unhappy?

Zuo Xiangning worriedly said to Pan Xia again: "Find someone safer and keep an eye on Aunt Liu and the third girl."

She remembered that she woke up the next day in her previous life, and Jiang stayed by her bedside all night.

Seeing that she woke up, someone called Zuo Xiangyu over and asked, "Your sister went to Prince Qi's Mansion with you. How did she fall into the water?"

Zuo Xiangyu fell to the ground without saying a word. Aunt Liu and Zuo's father heard the news and rushed over one after another.

Aunt Liu knelt on the ground and begged Jiang to give them a way out. She almost fainted from crying.

Zuo's father angrily accused Jiang of being a jealous woman, saying that Zuo Xiangyu was frightened and had a high fever all night long.

Jiang not only refused to ask a doctor to treat Zuo Xiangyu, but also insisted on letting Zuo Xiangyu come to see her early in the morning. Wasn't this because he wanted to kill his daughter?
Jiang was so angry that he trembled all over and called a little girl.

The little girl said tremblingly that she heard the eldest girl Yu Tao next to the third girl in the back garden telling her cousin that the third girl asked Yu Tao to push the fourth girl into the water. Yu Tao was afraid of being discovered and was so scared that she begged her cousin for help. idea.

Aunt Liu didn't believe it, she cried and said that sisters Zuo Xiangyu and Zuo Xiangning were deeply in love, how could they do such a thing, and shouted that she must let Zuo Xiangning explain clearly.Zuo's father called Zuo Xiangning to come out.

At that time, Zuo Xiangning believed deeply in Aunt Liu and her daughter, insisting that she accidentally fell into the water and had nothing to do with anyone else.

Yutao and her cousin also swore an oath.

Aunt Liu bit back, saying that Jiang was confusing right and wrong and wanted to force mother and daughter to die, and then Zuo Xiangyu also wanted to hang herself against the wall.

Mrs. Zuo was furious, scolded Jiang with a gun and a stick, and took away the power of the family... That was the most intense quarrel between Jiang and his wife.

Jiang, who wanted to vent his anger for Zuo Xiangning, was so angry that he lay on the bed for several days.

When Zuo Xiangning thought about all the events in her previous life, she felt that she had been blinded by lard and that was why she did not recognize good people!

In this life, she will never let Aunt Liu and her daughter succeed again! -
Zuo Xiangning still has some confidence in Jiang's combat effectiveness.

As long as Mrs. Zuo doesn't use the word "filial piety" to suppress Jiang's family, Zuo's father and Aunt Liu together may not necessarily be Jiang's opponents.

Because at this time, in addition to the strong backing of the Jiang family, the Jiang family also had a daughter who was married to the second prince as a concubine and was pregnant, and a son who accompanied the Jiang family's uncle on expeditions and made many military exploits.

Thinking of this, Zuo Xiangning couldn't help but worry about her eldest brother Zuo Zixi.

In her previous life, her eldest brother and uncle from the Jiang family died in battle fifty miles south of Jinmin Mountain in February of the following year.

During the Chinese New Year this year, she must find a way to keep her eldest brother and uncle from the Jiang family in the capital when they return to Beijing!

Zuo Xiangning's confidence doubled because of what happened yesterday.

When the people who heard the good news from Prince Chu's palace came over, she changed into a pink flowered jacket and wore the red gold dotted emerald flower hairpin given to her by the Jiang family. She went to the Youth Academy dressed beautifully.

Mrs. Jiang is cleaning up the warehouse and looking for fabrics suitable for making things for children.

Seeing Zuo Xiangning enter the room, her eyes lit up.

Jiang's family has given Zuo Xiangning many good things over the years, but Zuo Xiangning never dresses up in order not to overwhelm Zuo Xiangyu. Today is the first time she has dressed up so festively and beautifully.

Jiang smiled and waved to her: "Ning'er, come here quickly."

"What good thing did mother find?" Zuo Xiangning walked up to Jiang, bowed to Jiang, and asked with a smile: "Where are the people sent by the Chu Palace?"

"Just left." Mrs. Jiang pointed to a few pieces of fabric on the table, "These are for you. Make two sets of brighter colors and save them for when you get your haircut. When you get your haircut, there will be more entertainment. …”

Zuo Xiangning knew that Jiang was going to take her on a blind date, so she quickly put her arms around Jiang's arm and said with a blush, "Mom, the most important thing now is what should we prepare for my eldest sister?"

"I'm ready." Mrs. Jiang pulled her to the big kang by the window, pointed at the things piled on the kang, and said with a smile: "These are for your eldest sister and your child. You can come with me tomorrow." .”

"Okay." Zuo Xiangning picked up a piece of red silk cloth and said, "Mom, give me some of this cloth. I want to embroider a bellyband for my little nephew."

Jiang gave the entire piece of cloth to Zuo Xiangning and teased: "How can a piece of cloth be enough for your craftsmanship?"

Zuo Xiangning took the cloth, pursed her lips and smiled softly.

During the two years she spent hiding away from home in her previous life, she spent every day locked in her room embroidering. Her embroidery skills were no longer what they used to be.

"I'll make another little hat for my little nephew." Zuo Xiangning said with a smile.

"To make a hat, use this silk cloth as the lining and a harder satin cloth as the surface. The result will be beautiful." Jiang asked someone to find a piece of thicker red satin. "While you are doing it, I will teach you."

The mother and daughter were talking happily when Luping ran in and said, "Madam, Mrs. Gu wants to see you."

"Mrs. Gu? Which Mrs. Gu?" Jiang was slightly startled.

Zuo Xiangning's expression has changed drastically. In her impression, the only lady named Gu is Gu Zhiqing's mother!
