Zhumen Chunshen

Chapter 372 Fourth Aunt's Secret

Yao Cunhui's eyelids twitched when he heard this.A life of seventy is rare since ancient times, and it is not bad for the Queen Mother to live to this age.When people get old, they have to face the things that they could let go temporarily in the past!Between the Zhou family and the Lu family, she must have a proper solution, otherwise, once she passes away, the two families will definitely fight, and the world of Da Zhou will be in chaos!

One is her natal brothers and nephews, the other is her husband's uncle and children, both of them have unclear blood relationship with her, no matter which one is driven to death by the other, it must be not what she wants to see.Although she herself killed and punished many Zhou royal families, it was because they opposed her and were enemies, and the nature was different.

Therefore, Empress Dowager Lu is throwing stones to ask for directions. Leaving aside the men, let's not talk about it, let's gather the two women who have less direct and less intense conflicts together to see how the situation is.This is also a signal, a signal sent to Zhou's royal family, Lu's family and courtiers.

As a powerful general and king with a different surname, Shen Quan's attitude is also crucial. Therefore, it is normal for the Empress Dowager Lu to pull Yao Cunhui to stand inside.

"Understood?" Seeing the look on her face, Shen Quan knew that she had thought of it too, and said with a smile: "Anyway, it's a garden viewing, so you should just go and relax! Those two groups of people may not be able to take care of it when the time comes you!"

Just thinking about that scene, Yao Cunhui felt a little weird and funny, and sighed with a smile: "I have to think so! I don't know if my cousin, Concubine Yun of the Eastern Palace will go!"

If Yunzhi is also there, she just needs to be by Yunzhi's side, which will save a lot of trouble.

"Probably not!" Shen Quan shook his head and said with a smile: "The Empress Dowager has always disliked the involvement of the emperor and the prince. The concubines in the harem and the female family members of the East Palace should not participate. However, the modest princess of Prince Li's mansion Most likely will go!"

Yao Cunhui's eyes lit up, and he said happily, "That's right, I forgot about her!" With that little girl Qianqian here, her troubles are gone!Instinctively, Yao Cunhui felt that Qianqian would definitely go.

With peace of mind, Yao Cunhui ignored the matter and ordered people to prepare the spring shirt and jewelry that he wore that day in advance and not to mention it.

In the back garden of Zhenxi Prince's Mansion, Mrs. Duan was instructing the maids to fold a few branches of the golden winter jasmine and the bright red rose to take back for vases, but she saw Lu Ying wearing a gauze spring shirt embroidered with begonia red embroidered Come on, stand still in front of her, shake the Dielian flower fan in your hand and call out "Fourth Aunt" with a smile.

"Fourth grandma is here to enjoy the flowers too!" Duan smiled and nodded towards her.Lu Ying hated the term "nephew and daughter-in-law" very much, and everyone in the house generally referred to her as the fourth grandma.

"I came here when I saw my aunt here!" Lu Ying laughed.

Duan was startled, but couldn't help laughing too.

"Fourth Aunt, come and sit with me! I just got a script for a new play, oh, it's really well written! Only Fourth Aunt in this house understands this, I didn't come specially to invite you to enjoy it together appreciate!"

Duan's love of listening to and watching operas is well known, and she would be happy to go to any church meeting that would post an invitation to her.Besides, she never cared about the affairs of the Shen family's mansion, except when it was time to invite theatrical troupe for a party, she always volunteered to do it properly!
Duan is also very good at narrating plays. After everyone listened to the play, it was really a great enjoyment to listen to her talk in such detail during the break and think about the details!Therefore, Mrs. Duan is very popular among the wives and ladies in various mansions, and when the halls are held in various mansions, other guests may consider it, but Mrs. Duan is never left behind and does not need to think about it!
Hearing Lu Ying's words, Duan's eyes lit up, and he immediately felt a little itchy.Seeing this, Lu Ying giggled coquettishly, pulled her away, "Let's go, Fourth Aunt, just ask your people to send the flowers back. I'm not a slave without servants!"

"Hehe, I'm the fourth grandma!" Duan said happily, and went to Maoyuan with Lu Ying.

After entering the room and sitting down, the maids poured tea, and then they all retreated silently.Duan took a sip from the tea bowl, and asked with a quick smile, "I don't know what drama Fourth Grandma is talking about, let me see it quickly!"

"The one I want to invite my aunt to read today is a play without words! It's fresher than all the plays I've seen! Don't worry, Aunt Si will have it soon!" Lu Ying covered her mouth with a delicate smile, her long and narrow phoenix eyes glanced at Duan Shi, took a deep look, and turned back meaningfully.

"Wordless drama? I've never heard of it before. This is new!" Duan smiled, surprised and curious, wishing to read it right away, but for some reason she felt a little uneasy.

"Fourth aunt, don't worry! You can't watch a good show if you are impatient!" Lu Ying took out a pure white silk handkerchief from her bosom with a half-smile. The silk handkerchief was wrapped and folded, and she slowly opened it. Gold rings with emeralds!
The gemstone is the size of a thumb, with a slightly convex rhombus shape, and a pattern surrounded by gold silk is inlaid on the side. The pattern is very unique and unforgettable at a glance.

The snow-white silk handkerchief against the emerald green gemstone ring is particularly eye-catching.

When Duan saw the ring, his face suddenly turned pale, and the blood all over his body instantly became cold, like falling into an ice cellar.With a low cry, she rushed forward and stretched out her hand to hide, but Lu Ying swiftly withdrew her hand and dodged it, pursing her lips and smiling, "Fourth Aunt, tell me, is this wordless play interesting? Haha!"

"I, I don't understand what you're talking about!" Duan's voice trembled a little, and her body trembled slightly, two unnatural blushes appeared on her pale face, and a feeling of shame suddenly appeared.

Duan stomped her feet, turned around and wanted to go out.

"Aunt Si, are you sure you don't want to talk to me?" Lu Ying's tone was leisurely, full of mockery.

Duan's body froze, but there was still a trace of luck, and he pretended to be calm: "I don't seem to have anything to talk to you about! Even though you are the Lord, you can't tease the elders like this!"

"Okay! Then go and sue me in front of the old lady!" Lu Ying sneered disdainfully. How to deal with it!"

"Don't spitting blood!" Duan blushed immediately, annoyed and ashamed: "He and I are innocent!"

"Him?" Lu Ying was very interested, and asked closely with a smile: "Who is he?"

Duan regretted her slip of the tongue, and only then realized that she had been fooled by Lu Ying.

"Fourth Aunt, don't doubt it, you'll understand as soon as I explain it!" Lu Ying didn't want to play Tai Chi with her, and said with a straightforward smile: "Fourth Aunt, do you still remember the church meeting at Liu Shilang's house three days ago? Hehe, this The ring, but I got it from Wu Yufang, the pillar of the Qingchun class!"

"so what!"

"The fourth aunt is still pretending! Didn't the fourth aunt give him this ring? It's hard to keep it for so many years! Hee hee, I heard you all when you talked to each other! Hehe, grandmas and wives appreciate opera actors and rewards Appreciating silver and appreciating silk and satin, I have never seen jewelry engraved with my boudoir name! Fourth aunt, I don’t know what fourth uncle will think if he finds out! Well, something happened to my mother-in-law in our family. Will allow another divorce, so, fourth aunt, don't worry!"

Lu Ying's eyes sparkled, and she became more and more interested in speaking.

Originally, Duan wanted to hold on and refused to admit it, but after hearing this, her whole body turned cold.She froze there with a blank face, her mind went blank.

She was ignorant when she was a girl, so she gave him her beloved ring in a moment of fever.Later, her family found out the signs and managed to drive Wu Yufang out of the capital!At that time, Wu Yufang was not called Wu Yufang or Xiaochun, and she was not yet a pillar!

More than ten years have passed in a flash, she never expected to see him again!Time has changed, things have changed, and when they met again, the two of them actually didn't have the same thoughts as before. It's just that they met each other suddenly and felt a little emotional. They secretly looked for an opportunity to meet and said a few words, but it was a coincidence that they didn't want to Unfortunately, it fell into Lu Ying's eyes!

Duan's remorse and hatred were extreme, but he couldn't do anything with Lu Ying!
"Fourth aunt, what do you think the old lady will do if she finds out about this matter? Do you think she will still pamper you so much? Fourth wife?" Seeing her like this, Lu Ying felt more and more elated.

"What on earth do you want!" Duan suddenly turned her head and stared at Lu Ying bitterly.

Lu Ying sneered, and stared at her unscrupulously, "Is Fourth Aunt begging for help? Beg for help, show some sincerity in begging for help!"

After hearing this, Duan had a turning point. Thinking of the consequences of this leak, fear suddenly rose from the bottom of her heart. Her momentum weakened, and she said with tears: "You, what do you want me to do? What do you want me to do? Do what you want to let me go! Do you want money? I can give you all my money and dowry! I will also give you all the land and shop! Don’t worry, I will handle it properly and will never raise suspicion !"

Lu Ying raised her hand to stop her, and said with a smile: "Although Fourth Aunt's dowry and money are not a small sum that makes people's heart flutter, the most important thing in our Lu family is money! Money in this world, we Lu As much as the family wants! To put it bluntly, if I really want Fourth Aunt's money and property, there are plenty of ways, so there is no need for such trouble!"

Duan was dumbfounded.That's right, with the power of the Lu family, although Lu Ying said this arrogantly, it is not impossible!

"I just want you to do one thing for me. After the thing is done, I will return this ring to you. I will never mention this matter again. How about it?"

Duan sneered slightly, nodded and said: "If you do what you say, I will help you!" She asked her how, but did she have a choice!

Lu Ying was disdainful, Xin Dao told me that you deserve it!
"Of course I mean what I say!" Lu Ying smiled sweetly, gently shook the fan in her hand and walked towards Duan Shi, and whispered in her ear for a while under the cover of the fan.

Duan's face turned pale immediately, and he stared blankly at Lu Ying with wide eyes, "I, think about it..."

"Since you already know, if you don't do it, I won't keep this ring." Lu Ying spent all her time and didn't even give her a chance to refuse.

Duan shivered and was so desperate that he couldn't speak...
