Reborn Totalitarian Queen

Chapter 31
Shen looked at Mother Chen again, "What happened that night—"

"Madam, don't worry, Liu Da's two helpers and servants have also sealed their mouths, no one will talk nonsense!" Mother Chen knew what she was worried about, and quickly patted her chest to reassure.

The old lady of Duanmu's family is also a tricky one, no matter how Duanmuqi is her own grandson, Shen knows very well that if she and Duanmuqi get into a dispute, the old lady will definitely favor Duanmuqi.

So in this matter, even if Duanmu Qi tricked her and grabbed her, she could only smash her teeth and swallow it in her stomach.

Fortunately, Duanmuqi didn't seize the opportunity at that time, and all her subordinates related to this matter were silenced. Even if Duanmuqi wants to use this matter to make trouble in the future——

His unilateral rhetoric in Hengwu Garden is not enough to win the trust.

When Shen thought of this, she felt a little relieved.

While looking at the door, Mother Chen walked to Mrs. Shen's bed, and said puzzledly: "Ma'am, just now—was it because you were afraid of Miss Biao—"

"She can't talk nonsense!" Shen said, but she was confident, "If something happens to me, who will support them in the entire Shen family? It's just that this girl is not a good person. If I don't take the opportunity to beat her I'm afraid she will be unrestrained in the future."

Shen's aunt and nephew packed up and left in the early morning of the next day in despair, and after returning to their home, everything was calm.

It was more than half a year later that Song Chuxi heard the news of Duanmu's family again.

This day Duanmuqi was fine, he came to listen to Xuetang playing chess with her after breakfast.

Song Chuxi's chess skills are not good, and if he loses a piece, he will regret the game and start again. Fortunately, Duanmuqi has no interest in winning or losing, so he just treats it with her to relieve boredom.

"Young Master, Fourth Miss, I just heard the news from my family that the Third Madam—" The two of them had just set up the chess game, and before they had played a few moves, Shun Yu hurried in from outside with a secretive expression on his face, "Gone!"

The so-called third wife refers to Duanmuyang's wife Wu Shi.

Song Chuxi paused slightly for holding her hand.

Duanmu Qi's eyes fell on her fingertips, and then he asked indifferently, "Did you die of illness?"

"No." Shun Yu shook her head, "A few days ago during the Mid-Autumn Festival, she went home to visit her relatives. She said that she slipped and fell into the lotus pond in front of Mrs. Wu when she was admiring the moon in the garden at night. out of breath."

"In front of the Wu family?" Song Chuxi tilted his neck and dropped his head, then pursed his lips and smiled in admiration.

The people of the Wu family are not fools. If one of the well-behaved daughters suddenly died of illness within a few months, they would have to come to the house for investigation and interrogation. Now it will be fine——

What happened in Wu's house, and in front of Mrs. Wu, it is impossible to find people from Duanmu's house.

When the matter reached this point, even if it came to an end, all we had to do was wait for the news of Duanmu Yang's remarriage.

"Recently, pay more attention to the news from the Song family." Duanmu Qi waved his hand, sent Shun Yu off, and dropped another piece on the chessboard, but suddenly pondered, "I remember the Governor of Henan Province The Wu family also has a daughter who was sent to the capital to be the crown prince's concubine, right?"

"Really?" Song Chuxi shrugged, with a look of indifference, "Wouldn't it be better? Although a concubine's room may not have much weight in the East Palace, there is such a layer of in-law relationship in the middle It also makes people feel uncomfortable.”

The Wu family not only has a daughter who works as a concubine in the East Palace, this Wu family is basically Yin Shao's hardcore supporters.

The reason why Song Chuxi wants to encourage Duanmuqi to put pressure on the Song family is that restricting the alliance between the Song family and Duanmu Yang is of course the most important thing, but at the same time——

There is also a relationship against Yin Shao in it.

Sooner or later, the Song family will be hers, and she must find a way to control even the whole Nantang. In this way, the Duanmu family, who has played a huge role in the situation in Nantang, must completely break off all ties with Yin Shao. Relationship.

otherwise--

Bonded by interests, who knows if someone will be around to give her a knife?

Duanmuqi saw that her expression was normal, so he didn't investigate further.

Because Song Chuxi regretted the chess many times, it was already noon after the game of chess, and Duanmuqi simply ate here before getting up and leaving.

Song Chuxi sat on the couch with a tea bowl in his hand and slowly sipped the tea.

Shun Yu came in from the door with cakes, and was happy to see her beaming face without any worries, and said angrily: "Miss, it's true, no matter how many times you play chess with the young master, you have to cheat. Are you so happy when you win?"

"It's better than losing!" Song Chuxi laughed.

This fourth young lady always acts like a child when she doesn't count people.

Shun Yu shook his head helplessly and sighed, packed up the tea bowl Duanmu Qi had used and took it out.

Tianjin.

East Palace.

Yin Shao was in the study dealing with official documents that he didn't have time to read during the day, when one of his confidants, Jiang Chenghai, opened the door and walked in.

"What? What happened?" Yin Shao asked without raising his head.

"Your Highness, Duanmu Yang's wife, Mrs. Wu, has died!" Jiang Chenghai said, hissing involuntarily.

"Huh?" Yin Shao paused his hand holding the pen, and couldn't help frowning.

"The subordinate just got the news that on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, just after the Wu family's moon feast, he fell into the water in front of everyone, and he was out of breath when he was rescued!" Jiang Chenghai said.

That Mrs. Wu's death was so sudden that no one could help but doubt it.

Yin Shao's expression had already turned cold unconsciously, he pondered for a while in silence, and suddenly said in a deep voice: "Go and reveal the news to Mrs. Wu."

The Wu family he mentioned naturally refers to Wu Liangyuan in his own mansion. That woman is also arrogant and aggressive. When she hears about this incident, she will definitely go back to her mother's house.If he took the initiative to ask the other party to go back, the emperor and the other princes would doubt his intentions, but if it was the Wu family who started the trouble, it would be another matter.

"Your Highness, is there still a need to investigate this matter?" Jiang Chenghai hesitated, "Under the eyes of everyone, if there is something tricky, the Wu family must have discovered it long ago."

"Didn't it be said that the Duanmu family and the Song family formed an alliance secretly, and Duanmu Yang wanted to take the woman of the Song family as his concubine? His wife died at this time?" Yin Shao sneered disapprovingly, but the smile did not reach In his eyes, "If it's really a coincidence, it's fine, just be afraid—we don't meet a master who is good at playing tricks!"

Based on his understanding of the two brothers Duanmu Yang and Duanmu Qina, he never thought that Duanmu Qi would lose in the contest for the position of the head of the Duanmu family. He just held a wait-and-see attitude, and didn't immediately try to win him over.

this matter--

Could it be related to Duanmuqi?
Yin Shao couldn't help being slightly absent-minded, and said absently: "Go down and make arrangements, and then bring Pang Sheng. For this matter, let him go along with you."

"Yes!" Jiang Chenghai knew that he was always cautious, so he stopped insisting, and went to the front yard to bring an aide called Pang Sheng.

That Pang Sheng was only 24 or [-] years old, tall and thin, and although his facial features were not outstanding, he was born relatively correct, but when he followed Jiang Chenghai with downcast eyes, he seemed very humble and responsible.

The two walked through the garden and entered the yard where Yin Shao's study was located, and heard a woman inside say softly: "Your Highness just fell asleep, and I can only get out of here, and I have to rush back to take care of it. Your Highness, Chicken Soup Remember to use it, don’t be too tired!”

"En! Leave it alone!" Yin Shao responded, his tone a little cold.

"The concubine will resign first!" The woman was also obedient and did not take the opportunity to invite pets.

Jiang Chenghai and Pang Sheng, who were waiting at the door, hurriedly took two steps back. After a while, the door was pulled open from the inside, and a pretty young woman walked out with Shi Shiran holding hairpin flowers on her temples.

"I've seen Empress Chenghui!" The two saluted with lowered eyes.

The woman's attitude was extremely arrogant, with a smile on her lips, her phoenix eyes slightly raised, and she walked down the steps without looking sideways.

During that time, Pang Sheng lowered his eyes all the time, but when the two of them were about to pass by each other, he glanced at her imperceptibly sideways.

"Miss!" The maid Bao Qin who was waiting outside the door quickly came over, helped the woman's hand to go out, and couldn't help but look back when she was out of the courtyard: "Miss, you said that your highness will agree to send your little highness away." Send it to the Crown Princess? After all, she is the main concubine, and it will be more promising for the little Highness to follow her."

"Don't worry, it won't happen for the time being. The relationship between her and the princess in front is not close. Unless she is sure that she can't give birth, His Highness will not easily put Jie'er under her name." The woman's lips curled up into a smile, and there was a bit of a sense of humor, and the words clearly burst out from between the red lips, "She, Liao Qianhua, wants to snatch the child from me? Don't think about it!"
