It is not easy to be the fourth master's wife

Chapter 84

As soon as Su Peisheng entered the mansion, he saw his apprentice Xiao Zhangzi hiding behind the pillar and gesturing to him. Yinzhen strode ahead to the main courtyard, and Xiao Zhangzi staggered his steps and shrank behind Su Peisheng all the way to the main courtyard, waiting for Yinzhen to enter. In the back room, Su Peisheng turned around and was about to ask a few questions, but Yinzhen came out before he could hear the beginning and end.

Su Peisheng lowered his head and turned his body slightly, and simply asked Xiao Zhangzi to speak, while winking at the same time. Even if Xiao Zhangzi couldn't understand his hints, he knew that there were some things that should not be said indiscriminately, and he quickly prepared a draft in his mind. Opened his mouth, bowed and replied: "Yesterday, the master sent someone to pick up the best fire fox fur. Today, I found it. Su Gonggong ordered the servant to bring it to Fujin."

Speaking of this, I still couldn't help but look at Su Peisheng. Su Peisheng's eyelids moved slightly, and he lowered his head again: "Fu Jin was talking to Song Gege in the room, and the servant was waiting outside. After a while, he heard the commotion inside, saying yes ... Said that Fujin was angry."

These words were convoluted, Yinzhen raised his eyes and glanced at Xiao Zhangzi, and seeing him shrinking his head, he knew there was another reason for the matter.Song?When did she have such courage?

"Who else is in the house?"

"Except for the sisters who are serving Fujin, Nanny Gu and Nanny Wusu are here." Only these two people have the weight to elaborate on what was said in the room in front of Yinzhen.

He wanted to ask Zhou Ting himself, but now she is still lying on the bed, and the girl next to her is also worried about something like Xiao Zhangzi, so it is better to ask Su Peisheng to find out.

Yinzhen waved his hand slightly, and Xiao Zhangzi bowed and stepped back. Before leaving, he put his hand on his leg and shook it twice. Su Peisheng knew that he didn't tell the whole story, and felt that Yinzhen's eyes fell on him and understood what he meant: " The servant will go and find out."

Not only Yinzhen, but even Su Peisheng didn't believe that the Song family alone could make such a fuss.Since Fujin's serious illness, her temperament has become more and more lenient. Although she was originally lenient, she was very strict in her conduct.No matter how good the master is, it is inevitable that there will be times when he punishes his servants severely, but after more than a year, not a single slave has been punished.

The rules in the yard have not been relaxed because of her lenientness, those who steal, rape, slippery, and lazy errands are all sent out to the yard, and they will not be beaten or scolded without punishment.If you go out because you can't work, there are still many people outside who are eager to come in.

The servants can only act more cautiously than in the past, and besides, she nailed Mrs. Li to death in the South Courtyard, and her biggest opponent is submissive. Who would dare to rebel like this in front of her? Woolen cloth?
As soon as Su Peisheng turned out of the corridor, he saw Xiao Zhangzi huddled under the wall and waited for him. When he came out, he hurried over and whispered all he had heard into his ear.

"Really? Did you see it?" Su Peisheng didn't believe it. It's common sense for the women in the yard to want to be favored. It's too late to curry favor with Fujin. Even if the master refuses to favor him, he can only accept his fate, but what is the purpose of hurting others?What's more, the Niu Hulu family has never been favored.

"That's right, I dragged it all the way out like a madman. I managed to talk to Sister Biyu, and only then did I know that Sister Pearl had a big wound on her face. She said that if she didn't stop her body, she would I'm going to rush to Fujin." Pearl has always been kind to him, he couldn't help but sigh because of Pearl, it turned out that the big girl next to Fujin was a popular person in the eyes of the boys outside, this time she lost her appearance, and her value naturally dropped. What a pity.

Niu Hulu's family was tied up by the wives all the way back to the east courtyard and locked up. Zhou Ting deliberately waited for a moment before asking someone to seal up the mouths of the other courtyards. Know almost everything.

The princesses in the east yard saw her being carried back, and they were still gloating at the excitement, but after a while, they saw Mrs. Song coming back with a pale face, unable to walk steadily, and was helped into the house by Ruizhu After not coming out for a long time, everyone felt that something was wrong, and all the chatterers who stopped by the door cats entered their houses to pretend to be quails.

Su Peisheng made a fuss about the matter, just when he was about to go back and report to Yinzhen, he turned around, raised his leg and kicked Xiao Zhangzi's calf, the kick was neither light nor heavy, and Xiao Zhangzi said softly, " "Oh," and quickly covered his mouth.

"You're so clever today, and I didn't ask her what she said, and you just pretended you never knew." Su Peisheng nodded at Xiao Zhangzi after explaining. Being smart is much more reliable than someone like Xiao Zheng Zi who has a smart face.

Zhou Ting didn't show signs of waking up yet. Yinzhen knew that the medicine had just lost its properties, and he would have to sleep all night. He walked to the warm pavilion and sat down. Two little girls came in and lit the glass lamp. Just when he was about to go out, he heard Yinzhen ask, "Why did you change the blankets in this room?"

Zhou Ting's house is always the first to be carpeted, and she told him yesterday that such big golden and red flowers look warm to the eyes, so he said he wanted to find a piece of fire fox skin to make it bigger for her. Why did he suddenly change into blue clothes?

Although the two little maids were also waiting in the house, their normal visits were only to light a lamp, handing pearls and agates water and collecting dishes, they had never spoken to Yinzhen, and trembled when they heard his voice asking, They looked at each other, and one of them said, "The blanket has been taken down and washed."

Seeing Yinzhen frowned, his knees were so frightened that his knees were weak: "The servant only watched a few mothers take it out, and there was a big water stain on it." He said everything he knew: "The servant listened to the mothers telling me to wash it. It’s okay, I can’t take it anymore, the golden threads on the stamens are worn out a few.”

Yinzhen waved his hand, and the two little girls quickly backed out, Fei Cui opened the curtain and called to stop one: "Go to Sister Manao's room and tell her that the master is back, I'm afraid you have to ask questions, tell them to prepare Don't be in a hurry." After one left, he casually asked the other: "What did Master Gang ask?"

"Master asked how the blankets in the house have been changed." The little girl confessed honestly, and Fei Cui nodded: "You go, help me go to the small kitchen to see if the porridge is ready, if it is ready, warm it up with the stove, master today I haven't eaten anything, I'm afraid I'll be hungry in the middle of the night." Seeing the little girl go out, she smiled.

Su Peisheng thought about how to say this so that he would not break the taboo and do his job well, but Xiao Zhangzi didn't dare to say a word in front of him, so it was a good idea.But Yinzhen is not the one to be fooled, he just said that Niu Hulu suddenly went crazy and jumped up to hurt people, he would not believe it, and when he entered the warm pavilion, he looked up and felt that Yinzhen's expression was worse than before, so he quickly lowered his head Say it all: "Niu Hulu's family was stunned and said something disrespectful. The servants below know the rules and dare not repeat it."

Xu Zhen didn't speak for a long time: "Got it." He looked up at the curtain in the inner room, as if he wanted to see through it.Just yesterday I felt that she was unusual, as if I knew the future people like myself.This happened to Niu Hulu's family today. Is she trying to rule out dissidents?
Yinzhen was still not sure if his wife had gone through life and death like himself, if not, how would he know that his mind was in a big position?The words of rebellion are not something that an ordinary woman can say casually.

Looking back now, she actually took the lead in everything, as if she knew what was going to happen in the future, and she started laying the groundwork decades in advance, step by step, steadily and quietly, Without paying attention, she occupied half of the chessboard.

Yinzhen took a breath and narrowed his eyes slightly, the yellow candlelight flickered his eyes, she knew that Niu Hulu would give birth to Hongli, and Hongli was his intended heir, so she took the first step Get rid of this hidden danger.

Xu Zhen felt suspicious in his heart, and his gaze towards the inner room became more and more complex, and he could faintly see a little orange light under the thick curtain, but he still passed by with his legs raised.

Fei Cui retreated outside, and he sat on the edge of the bed and looked at the sleeping Zhou Ting. He couldn't remember what kind of person she was in the past, but he still remembered that Er Niang praised her for being a good and virtuous wife time and time again.

The lines of the side face became softer under the candlelight. Yinzhen stared at Zhou Ting's sleeping face for a long time, and all the good things flashed in front of his eyes. Just as he was about to raise his hand to touch her, he heard Jade's voice: "As for Da Gege, the master hasn't woken up yet. My master is watching inside. Da Gege should take a rest earlier and come back tomorrow."

That's right, if she knew about it a long time ago, why would she hold back? If she was in a different place with her, Li Shi would probably be the first to strike.Yinzhen never believed that the concubine's children were also the children of the aunt's mother, even the biological ones were treated differently, no matter how much she could bear, she would never be so considerate to these children.Li Shi has been ill all the time, if he took this opportunity to treat her to death, he would just pretend not to know.

Thinking of this, her brows loosened, and the doubts in her heart disappeared. Why would she do this if she wanted to get rid of Niu Hulu? All she had to do was signal the maids to be negligent when serving, or find the doctor to do the bone setting directly. Let her move her hands and feet and leave her disabled, then she will never be able to get close to Yinzhen's body for the rest of her life.

"Pass the pearl and agate here." As soon as Yinzhen figured it out, he immediately revealed the doubts just now, and he wanted to see what kind of disrespectful words Niu Hulu could say.

The two had already been waiting outside, and they came in together and knelt on the ground.

"Raise your head up." Yinzhen didn't ask them to get up. I'm afraid they will kneel down later. Before he could ask another question, Yinzhen frowned again, and there were two bloodstains, one long and one short. On the pearl jade white face, it was particularly bright, half of the face was red and swollen, although the skin was not visible, but it would leave a scar when it healed, which shows that Niu Hulu's attack was serious.

If this falls on Zhou Ting's face, regardless of what kind of punishment Niu Luhu will receive in the future, it will be a scandal if he dies once or twice: "Niu Hulu told Fujin something."

The two people present felt different when they talked about it. The two of you told each other in detail what happened after Niu Hulu entered the house. Manao glanced at Pearl's injury, and kowtowed Lie down on the ground: "Niu Hulu gege said that the master ordered the slaves to trample on her, cursing that the master will not have a son, and Honghui elder brother will not be crowned after death."

No one dared to say this, let her say it, the matter has come to this point, she must pay the price, even though Manao thought so, she was still afraid in her heart, her hands and feet were cold and she couldn't help but want to shiver.

"That's what she said?" He had already decided, his tone was so light that it made people tremble, Manao couldn't help nodding, and only heard a sneer: "It's really crazy."

A row of glass lamps was lit in the corridor. The two young eunuchs didn't care about the wax oil falling on their hands, and ran to the front with one hand to protect the candles to light the lamps. Yinzhen walked quickly, thinking about how to deal with Niu Hulu's family .

It turned out that his wife didn't come back, but Niu Hulu's who came back. Yinzhen sneered unknowingly. It seemed that she thought that she would definitely be the Empress Dowager herself. Life is gone.

The east courtyard was locked early, but the lights in Song's room were still on. She knew it was a bad time, so she opened the window and stared straight at the courtyard door, and her heart would jump twice when she heard the slightest sound.

The eunuch opened the door, and Yinzhen paused as soon as he came in, his eyes locked on the room guarded by the door, seeing that it was Yinzhen who came, he naturally opened the door for him, Niu Hulu was tied and pressed on the bed, Tao'er even covered her with a quilt. At first she struggled, but then she lost her strength and was gagged again. She felt a little drowsy lying on the bed, and couldn't wake up immediately when the door rang.

Su Peisheng personally followed in to light the lamp, and asked Xiao Zhangzi and Xiao Zhengzi to guard the door. Seeing Niu Hulu's family lying on the bed, Yinzhen felt even more angry, but instead of going forward, he looked at the small room and swept his eyes away. On the paper that fell on the table, there were two short poems written on it, and the inscription was actually a word "Yong".

Immediately, he squeezed the piece of paper in his hand, stepped forward step by step, and lowered his head to look at that strange face, Niu Hulu's eyes sparkled, and he murmured In Yinzhen's eyes, this eager look actually made him smile: "Since Mrs. Niu Hulu is crazy, she moved to a remote yard to be watched by others, so as not to fall into madness again." Add a sentence: "I heard that she has a very good voice, so don't take out the gag."

Niu Hulu was lifted from the bed. She turned her face and stared at Yinzhen, her mouth kept murmuring. Counting as trampling on her, I'm afraid her heart is still in the Compassionate Ning Palace.

"Find out all the writing paper in this room and burn it." Yinzhen made up his mind to make her fall ill as soon as the matter fades away: "Su Peisheng, you just keep an eye on it, and return the things to the warehouse. This room is locked."

As soon as he came out of the house, he saw Mrs. Song kneeling in the courtyard wearing only a single piece of clothing. He didn't know what to say when he saw him. May I pray for Fujin and chant scriptures day and night..."

Before she could finish her words, Yinzhen interrupted her. What Niu Hulu said, Su Peisheng didn't dare to tell him, but Song said everything she said, and she frowned in disgust. Frowning: "Since you are so sincere, go to the South Courtyard to read scriptures, and be a good company with Mrs. Li."

This sentence nailed her in place, the tears in half of her eyes hadn't dripped yet, her body froze and she couldn't see any wicker-like waist, her ears were buzzing, and she passed out as soon as she closed her eyes.

"Take Song Gege to the south courtyard, and we will be recuperating together with Li Fangfujin." Yinzhen's eyes scanned the dark rooms in the east courtyard, and these women turned out to be quite different.
