Chapter 103 Have Enmity With Her?

Liuli was noncommittal.This time, in the final analysis, she just avenged her personal revenge by helping Huanhua avoid Mrs. Song, which was not a feat, nor worthy of her praise.

But for an overly simple person like Huanhua, she doesn't have to speak too clearly.

At this time, the sun was fading, and the guests in the front yard were probably gone, if they stayed, they might run into Guo Xia, so they had to leave first.Holding hands with Huanhua at the gate of the courtyard, she suddenly stopped. Yuegui took a cloth towel soaked in spirits to make Yanhua drunk, and drank another small cup, but she never drank too much, in case the alcohol was too strong She woke up, but what should I do if Guo Xia hasn't come back yet?
She looked back at the study and asked Huanhua, "Where is the pen and paper?"

Huanhua didn't know what she was going to do, but still pointed to the second room on the east side and said, "That's Mr.'s bedroom, and she also writes in the room on weekdays."

Liuli let go of her hand, rushed into Guo Xia's bedroom, picked up a pen and paper on the table and wrote in small letters, then put all the moved parts back to their original positions, folded the note into her pocket, and quickly exited the door Come, Huanhua and Huanhua quickly left the courtyard.

Back at the Begonia Courtyard, she first figured out where Guo Ya was going, then called a little maid who was unfamiliar to her, and first asked her, "Do you know me?" The little maid looked at her for a long time, then shook her head and said, "I don't know. Liuli then handed her the note: "Go to the front hall and find the woman in yellow who is talking to Miss Four, and give this to her. Come back and ask for a reward."

The little maid looked at the dozen or so copper coins in her hand, nodded and took the note to go.Huanhua watched the little maid hand the note to Guo Xia from behind the door, and asked suspiciously, "What did you write on it?"

Guo Xia finished talking with Shuhua and was about to go back to her room when a little maid who came from nowhere suddenly stuffed a note into her hand.When she opened it, she saw a few words written on it in small letters: Mr.'s study will be in trouble.Immediately, his face changed, and he walked back to the yard.After walking two steps, I remembered something again, opened the note and looked at the regular characters for a while, my gaze changed, and then I stuffed the note into my sleeve again, and walked quickly.

Liuli turned her head and nodded to Huanhua, followed her all the way to the back of Wutong courtyard, heard a burst of angry shouts from the courtyard, smiled at each other, and turned her head in peace.

The two disappeared around the corner, Biyun came out from the other side of the hall, glanced at their backs, paused, and entered Wutong Courtyard with two boxes of snacks.Entering the courtyard, I could hear Guo Xia's furious voice, and then there seemed to be Yan Hua's usual screaming and crying, and I couldn't help being shocked. Seeing the servant girl Shi Mo standing on the porch and looking into the house, he immediately waved his hand to greet her. She called over: "What happened?"

Shi Mo sighed: "Oh, the fifth girl is really getting more and more noisy. I didn't know where I got drunk and went to Mr.'s study and fell asleep. The room reeks of alcohol. Sir is in a fit of rage."

Biyun was startled: "Miss Wu is drunk?" Thinking that Yanhua didn't appear at the banquet today, why did she drink the wine that came?Thinking of the appearance of Liuli and Huanhua leaving just now, his eyes flashed, and the corners of his lips immediately raised.

Shi Mo said: "What is sister doing here?"

Biyun came back to her senses, "Oh, the second lady said that the fourth lady has won praises from many wives today, it's all due to the master's teaching, and I just went to the old lady's room to talk about it, and it happened that the big kitchen sent the old lady a new one. Lotus-flavored rolls, the old lady asked me to send two plates to my husband to try."

Shi Mo took it, "Thank you so much, old lady."

Bi Yun nodded in agreement, but she didn't go into the house to say hello to Guo Xia, and went back to the main courtyard.

When he got to the corridor, he came back to his senses, looked in the direction of Anxi Hall, his face changed a few times, and suddenly he seemed to have made up his mind, and he entered the room with an inexplicable smile.

Mrs. Liang never came to Anxi Hall for dinner because her natal family had come and she hadn't left yet.During the day, Mrs. Qi was dragged by Huanhua to avoid Mrs. Song and never came to the main courtyard. She came earlier for dinner, and entered the door at the same time as Mrs. Yu, but ahead of Mrs. Nie.

As soon as Mrs. Yu entered the door, she asked, "Is the old lady feeling better?" The old lady smiled and said, "There are so many people in the day, I can't handle it. I just lay down for a while, but I feel much better." She looked at Mrs. Qi again. : "I heard that you have been recuperating your body for a while, but what's wrong with you?"

Mrs. Qi hurriedly said: "Thank you, old lady, for thinking about it. My daughter-in-law has nothing wrong with it. It's just that she has a little backache recently. The doctor told her to rest." Afraid that the old lady would ask again, she got up and went to the side to pour tea for the old lady .It happened that Shuhua came in, and he started a conversation with her: "Why are you here, why don't you go to accompany your aunt?"

Shuhua said with a smile: "It's fine for my aunt to be accompanied by my mother. The old lady here is supposed to be served by her mother for dinner. If she can't come, I will come for her."

Yu Shi laughed and said, "These four girls are really sensible!"

Biyun came up to pour tea for Shuhua, said with a smile, "There are more than one sensible girl in our house!" Looking at Mrs. Qi, her smile deepened a little.Mrs. Qi noticed something strange, and when she stepped out of the threshold, she also walked out with the excuse of washing her hands.

After washing his hands in the side yard, he saw Biyun splashing water in front of the hut, so he walked over and said, "What are you doing?" Biyun quickly put down the water basin, and said with a smile, "It's dry these days, and it won't rain at all. There is dust in the yard, I'm just pouring water on the ground." Qi Shi listened, and suddenly said: "Do you have something to say to me?"

Biyun paused for a moment, then smiled again: "It's almost time for dinner, the fourth madam hasn't come today, don't madam find it strange?"

Qi said indifferently: "If there is something delayed, what is there to be surprised about?"

Biyun said: "Ma'am, that's true. It's just that the fifth girl didn't attend the luncheon today, so many people asked about it. Yes, it seems that the third lady also came to eat in a hurry, and then went back to the third lady. house?"

Mrs. Qi thought for a while, and said: "I went back because I had an appointment with the doctor, and Yan girl didn't come, so why?"

Biyun smiled, "Let me ask Madam first, did Madam have any intention of marrying Eighth Girl to the Song Mansion?"

The marriage of a woman here is nothing to be ashamed of, Qi Shi wanted to know the following, and there was nothing to shy away from, so he said: "So what?"

Biyun then said: "I told Madam something, and Madam will understand. The young master of Mr. Song's family is now at the age of marriage. Some time ago, the fourth madam entrusted someone to marry young master Song for the fifth girl. Madam Song has not been in contact with the family for many years. Well, He Manyue came here today, so it has a deep meaning. But according to Miss Wu's temperament, if she really sees her, she is afraid that the good things will be ruined, so the fourth lady asked her to stay in the house and not come out. Five How can the girl stay still? Of course she will think of a way out. At this time, if she can get drunk and let her fall asleep or something, it is naturally the best way.

"However, to facilitate the marriage between the fifth girl and the Song family, it is not enough to get her drunk, because there is also the third lady. It stands to reason that under the guidance of the third lady, the eighth girl is a few times taller than the fifth girl, regardless of her temperament and appearance. More than that, this time it was supposed to be the eighth girl's blessing, but someone stepped in first. If the third wife meets Mrs. Song, she will definitely say something about it. Some people are afraid of you and Mrs. Song Encountering bad things, so even you are held back, so that Mrs. Song can maintain her affection for Miss Wu to the end."

After listening to it, Mrs. Qi said for a long time: "You mean this matter was manipulated by someone?"

Bi Yun smiled and said: "Madam is in the middle of the situation, so naturally she can't see the overall situation. But isn't this obvious? In order to facilitate the marriage of the fifth girl, someone desperately cut off your chance to meet Mrs. Song, and wait until Mrs. Song is in the mansion. After visiting, I felt that the people in the mansion behaved like this, and the five girls were naturally dignified and decent, so the matter was probably settled."

Qi's eyes immediately showed a cold light: "The person you are talking about is undoubtedly the Fourth Madam."

"No." Biyun shook her head and said, "Ma'am, I'm afraid I guessed wrong this time. Just now when I went to Wutong Courtyard to deliver snacks, I heard the noise in the courtyard. When I went in and took a look, I realized that it was Miss Wu who was drunk and ran away. Going to sleep in Mr. Guo's study, Mr. Guo was angry. I thought, Miss Wu didn't even come out for lunch today, so where did she get a drink? Even if the fourth wife wanted to prevent her from coming out to cause trouble, she would definitely not let her go. She sent her to the Wutong Courtyard. After thinking about it, I understood. When I entered the Wutong Courtyard, I saw two people lying outside the door to watch what was going on in the courtyard. These two people were supposed to never appear there at that time. Yes, but why is it here again?"

Qi's immediately said: "Which two people?"

"Eighth Girl and Ninth Girl." Biyun smiled.

Mrs. Qi took a deep breath and said after a long time: "You mean Huan'er? Huan'er is secretly arranging the marriage between Yan girl and the Song family?!"

"Madam don't need to be angry, and it may not be Eighth Girl's idea." Biyun said: "Big Girl is always innocent and simple, and is the easiest to be used by others. Whenever someone says something in front of her, she will believe it."

Mrs. Qi heard what she meant, and frowned: "You mean that girl Jiu ordered this? It's impossible. What reason does she have to break up Huan'er and Song's house, and go to match Yan girl instead?"

Biyun smiled and said: "Maybe it's not for matchmaking, but for other purposes? For the third lady, it doesn't matter what she wants to do, what matters is that she ruined the eighth girl's lifelong happiness, isn't it? Master Song is now He has served as a political adviser, and people outside say that Yu Youcheng is already very old, and he will retire at some point. Mr. Song is very likely to succeed him as prime minister. If the eighth girl married and went to the Song residence, wouldn't he have a bright future in the future? Is it on?"

Qi's face was solemn, his eyes were shining with coldness, and it took him a long time to close his eyes and let out his breath.

"You said that what you saw with your own eyes is true?"

Bi Yun said: "If Madam doesn't believe it, you can ask Eighth Girl and Nine Girls where they went after dinner."

Mrs. Qi turned around and looked her up and down: "Do you have a grudge against Jiu Yatou?"

Biyun smiled and nodded: "Madam speaks seriously, this servant is just a servant, how dare she be against the girl? I really feel sorry for the eighth girl being deceived, she is not worth it."

Mrs. Qi glanced at her, snorted, turned and left.

Biyun watched her go out, bent down to pick up the copper basin, and poured water into the yard again.
