The Concubine's Survival Manual

Chapter 89

No one in the Yang family expressed any surprise or regret for Twelve Auntie's miscarriage.

After all, I have never eaten pork, and I have seen pigs run.Twelve Aunt's pregnancy was not going well, even a doctor like Second Young Master Quan only told her to stay in bed and recuperate.Miscarriage is also expected.

It's just that I happened to run into Third Aunt again...

The rumors that had been subdued for a while started to rage again.

The eldest wife had no choice but to make an example to the monkeys again, and used the old method to quell the rumors among the people.

But I also felt a little bit uneasy.

News from Huanshawu: When the fetus came out, it could already be seen that it was a boy...

Then I thought of a few things that Liang's mother had said to herself in private.

The eldest wife really couldn't sit still.

"Investigate." She told Ms. Wang, "This matter still needs to be investigated, otherwise, I will not feel at ease."

Mother Wang couldn't help feeling embarrassed.

How should I check this to find out the effect that comes to light?

The matter of ghosts and gods is the most uncertain thing in the first place. If there is anything more ethereal than ghosts and gods... then it is a rumor.

Whether it is the source of the rumors or the root of ghosts and gods, they are all illusory things that cannot be investigated.

Even Ms. Liang rarely spoke up for Mrs. Wang, "I don't know where to start with this kind of thing..."

Why doesn't the eldest wife know about Wang's mother's embarrassment?
Just sighed. "Let's go to the Qinghong Pavilion first!"

He also sent Mama Liang to visit the twelfth aunt. "Tell her not to be too sad. This slippery tire is also a confinement period. During the confinement period, I cried too much and bad eyes."

After all, she is also the aunt of the Yang family, and the elder still often goes to Huanshawu to spend the night, and the three sisters still have to win over.

Mama Liang and Mama Wang split up, one took someone to check Qinghong Pavilion, and the other went to Huanshawu to visit Twelve Aunt Niang.

The eldest wife had nothing to do, so she asked Seventh Lady to come in and talk with her.

The daughter's homework is always inattentive, and if the eldest wife summons her, Seventh Lady will not be able to attend the embroidery class in the afternoon.

After the third lady and the fourth lady had grown up successively in the past few years, there were two missing students in the embroidery class. Huang Xiuniang was determined to pass on her unique skills to the sixth lady, but she was very relaxed with the fifth lady and the seventh lady.

The eldest wife asked casually, "Isn't Huang Xiuniang teaching hard? In the past few years, your embroidery skills are just mediocre."

Seventh Lady pursed her lips and smiled, "Xiao Qi is stupid and cannot embroider Sixth Sister's ingenious workmanship."

"Liu Niangzi is really skillful." The eldest wife couldn't help but sighed, and asked again, "Your fifth sister hasn't made any troubles in the past few months, has she?"

The fifth lady was getting older, and she was a bit disobedient. The eldest wife saw her uncomfortable several times, and said a few words to her, and the fifth lady became angry again. Although the two mothers and daughters were not strangers, the eldest wife To know the current situation of Fifth Lady, sometimes you have to ask Seventh Lady instead.

Only a mother and daughter can have such unscrupulous conflicts.

Seventh Lady just laughed, "Fifth Sister has gradually become more stable, and she has behaved well in the past few months. Look, Xiaoqi, even the most picky etiquette mother can find no fault."

The eldest lady tapped Seventh Lady's forehead, "You know how to make me happy."

However, speaking of it, Wu Niangzi has indeed been able to hide her thoughts in the past few years. It is no longer like before, and she has to shout out to let everyone know about the slightest bit of dissatisfaction.

It seems that since the incident in front of Huanshawu, when she was slapped by the elder, Wu Niangzi has matured all of a sudden.

I seldom act like a child anymore... I have the appearance of a daughter's family.

The two of them talked about the trivia about the parents of the east and the short of the west.

The Wang family is about to revive again. Although the position of Fujian chief envoy has already been divided up by the Prince Chief Shi Zheng's family, no matter what happens, the position of studying politics in a province cannot be lost.

"It's hard to say! It depends on how the battle is fought!"

The eldest wife couldn't help but look unpredictable when she thought of the arrangement of Master Qin.

It was also because of this sudden outbreak of war that the old man arranged for all the officials to write a letter requesting the prince to leave the cabinet, and it was logically shelved.

The Grand Master doesn't need to stand in line for the time being.

The eyes of the court, the central government and the world are all focused on the northwest border...

She sighed, "Others see that our Yang family is full of flowers, and the fire is cooking oil, who knows the trembling underneath...Maybe next year, you little ladies..." After saying a few words, I felt ominous again, so I stopped. Talk again, just lost in thought.

Why didn't Seven Lady know what the eldest lady meant?
In official affairs, if one step is wrong, it will be heaven and hell.As a great official of the frontiers, the Grand Master is nicknamed "Jiangnan King", how can he be independent from the battles of the court?

Usually, he is cautious enough to speak and act, and he is constantly troubled. Now that the turmoil of seizing the heir from the imperial court is raging, the Elder Master, as the emperor's trusted minister, will definitely be involved in this turmoil.

After all, even the Qin family and the Xu family have clearly stood in line...

But if this is a wrong bet, it is inevitable to lose your wealth and life!
There is no such thing as a free lunch in the world, and prosperity and wealth are not so easy to enjoy.

"Mother." She smiled.

The voice was low and soft, yet cool.

The eldest lady felt very useful after hearing it.

"This is what the men outside think about..." Seventh Lady gently rubbed the hands of the eldest wife.

The cool little hands rubbed the palm of the eldest wife's palm, and the tense body of the eldest wife relaxed.

"Father will naturally worry about it. Speaking of it, from a small Jinshi all the way to today... Father has all kinds of bad things. He is also a good man in this officialdom."

The eldest lady couldn't help laughing out loud.

"It's still our Xiaoqi who can talk!" She immediately relaxed and leaned against the colorful pillow beside the bed. "That's right, let your father worry about this matter. It's enough for us women to take care of the backyard!"

Seventh Lady pursed her lips and smiled.

It seems that the eldest wife is still wary of her... The story of the third aunt's troubles has been spread all over the courtyard, and she has never asked her about the details of Xiaoxue's interrogation.

Both of them were thinking, and they were quiet for a while.

Mother Liang's voice sounded from outside.

"Madam, I brought you the curl from Huanshawu."

Her voice was faintly tense, and her infinite emotions were suppressed, but her seriousness was a little weird.

"There are some things that need to be clarified by letting her speak to you in person."

The eldest lady sat up straight, a trace of surprise crossed her brows.

Seventh Lady was taken aback.

So Niaoyou is from the main courtyard?
She really doesn't know...

When she bumped into Shu Xia, Twelve Auntie was carrying Niao Niao...

However, this girl is just a little girl next to Tongfang, so she may not dare to talk a lot in front of the eldest wife, and tell about seeing her at the Qinghong Pavilion.

For one thing, it also happened some time ago, so I may not remember it.

Second, once you say this, wouldn't it mean that you are suspecting that Qin Niangzi is playing tricks?How dare a little servant girl offend the celebrity around the eldest wife.Qin Niangzi barely suppressed the uneasiness in her heart.

Pretending to resign, "Is there anything inconvenient for Xiao Qi to listen to..."

The eldest lady waved her hand, "You also give me an idea."

Seventh Lady was sitting next to the eldest wife, looking at Niao Niao who was brought into the eastern room by Liang's mother.

This little girl is also an old man next to Twelve Aunts, and she entered the mansion later than Bai Lu's group of maids, but she did not expect to be from the main courtyard.

After kowtowing to the eldest lady and Seventh Lady, Niaolang slowly narrated what she had seen and heard in Huanshawu.

"It's only late at night, and Twelfth Aunt has been feeling a little unwell... she keeps saying she has an upset stomach, but it's common these days. After taking the prescription prescribed by Second Young Master Quan, she's been slowly recovering." There was a sense of urgency in his voice. "I didn't expect Twelve Auntie to feel pain in the middle of the night, blood..."

She looked at Qin Niangzi, stopped it and did not continue.

The eldest wife couldn't bear to hear it, "Tell me about the so-called Third Aunt's mischief, whether there is a root cause!"

She paused, then asked, "Also, is it a boy?"

Niaoyou bit her lower lip, stared at her shoes, and said slowly, "When the child came down, he already had a shape...it's good for a boy."

The eldest wife patted the bedpost violently.

"Oh! Really!"

For the eldest wife, the more males in the Yang family, the better.

Seventh Lady also let out a sigh of relief.

What Niaoyou said was what she wanted to hear.

"As for causing trouble..." Niaoyou's shoulders trembled a little, "It's hard to say about this slave... But, I did see some blood on the clean room floor that night..."

The eldest lady gasped, her complexion changed drastically.

"Unexpectedly, she was the one who caused the trouble!" She said every word.

Qin Niangzi's heart is wide.

"Aunt Twelve has a tire!" Instead, she held the hand of the eldest wife and explained in a soft voice, "There are blood stains inside and out..."

The eldest lady grasped Qin Niangzi's hand reflexively, her palm felt cold.

"Also," curling her head lowered further. "Aunt Twelve kept asking, is there a woman in red standing outside the window..."

The temperature in the room seemed to drop immediately.

The eldest lady held Qiniangzi's hand tightly, and it hurt Qiniangzi a lot.

Mama Liang's smiling face was also forced... more like a forced smile.

"Maybe Twelve Auntie is panicking about this matter..." She was only halfway through her comforting words, and couldn't continue.

When the Twelfth Concubine entered the mansion, the grave of the Third Concubine had already been buried, and no one in the house dared to mention the matter of the Third Concubine. How did she know that the Third Concubine liked to wear red clothes?
"She... why doesn't she let our Yang family go!" The eldest wife muttered to herself, "First brother Jiu... and then this unborn child..."

After a pause, he said to himself again, "Fortunately, Ninth Brother was fatal! Although he was trapped in Nightmare Town, he didn't die!"

It is already a face of conviction.

Seventh Lady hurriedly comforted the eldest lady, "Maybe... Maybe there is some unfulfilled wish..."

"It's time to go on the road!" The eldest lady clasped her hands and muttered to the Buddha, "I just hope to go on the road soon... Let's reincarnate and be a human being!"

Mother Liang took Niao Niang down, and the eldest lady took Qin Niangzi's hand, and discussed about doing things for Third Aunt Niang.

"A few years ago, I was wondering if Brother Nine would be so young that he would bluff when something happened..." The eldest wife changed Brother Nine by "Nightmare Town" and broke into Qinghong Pavilion for a long time. The clothes of the third aunt, came out and told the inside story of the injury to the seventh lady. "I think this matter is quite strange. You said that with Feng Jia's temperament, it's not that she doesn't know the seriousness... Even if she took a dagger, how could there be a bloody disaster? It turns out that there are people behind Nightmare Town!"

Seventh Lady was also surprised.

"Ninth Brother has never told me about this matter!" She suddenly realized, "It turns out that this third aunt is really haunted!"

The eldest lady sighed.

"It's also a master, after all, it's too... Sigh! If Brother Nine hadn't been treated as a daughter and entrusted to the deceased Nine Lady, I might not be able to raise him so big!"

His thoughts diverged to the second wife again. "Your second aunt has been crazily watching Brother Jiu for the past few years, maybe he was all suppressed by Nightmare Town!"

Seventh Lady groaned in her heart.

Madam, this is too reminiscent, right?
However, after all, he cleared his doubts about Brother Nine.

She asked the eldest wife in a soft voice, "Why did the third aunt die, Xiao Qi has never been clear..."

The eldest wife told Qin Niangzi about the past in a half-covered manner, "...give Linglingxiang to your father...to be insane..."

Qin Niangzi also had a look of fear, "There is such a person! No wonder he became a ghost after death, so let's send it out!"

The eldest wife nodded again and again, "The eminent monks of Hanshan Temple and Huiqing Temple, please come to the house to recite scriptures, and go to get rid of the evil spirits at home!"

The eldest wife seldom gets along with Huiqing Temple.

On the contrary, Fourth Aunt was acquainted with the abbot of Huiqing Temple. When she was not married, she often went to Huiqing Temple to burn incense.

Perhaps because of this, even though Huiqing Temple has always had a reputation for making wishes come true, the eldest wife never paid any attention to them.

Now even the Fourth Aunt is not taboo anymore, and she keeps saying that she only asks for a success...

Pulling Qin Niangzi to talk about it into the evening, the children of all the houses came to pay their respects, and the eldest lady let go of this matter.

In the evening, Lichun quietly told Lixia, "Mother Wang brought someone, and found a few more red clothes in the Qinghong Pavilion...all of them are old and worn...It seems to be the style worn by Third Aunt in the past!"

"There is also an indescribable smell. When I went to the second floor, I found that the blood was dripping all over the floor, and it was so hard that it was clotted! Flies are flying around, it's really scary!"

Li Xia remained calm and echoed Li Chun, "There is such a thing!"

Good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, and within a few days, everyone in Baifang Garden knew that San Yiniang had started to make trouble again.

The eldest wife was very nervous for Brother Jiu, so she went to Hanshan Temple to ask for a new name talisman and locked it safely, and hung it up for Brother Jiu himself.

"In and out, don't lose anyone around you!" She pulled Brother Nine by the neck, exhorting and exhorting, "You have been in the nightmare town once, and you know how powerful it is. If something happens to you, what can you call your mother?" live?"

Ninth Brother also had a look of fear, "There must be no more people! Everywhere I go, I will be with Lichun!"

Even the Grand Master was startled.

"Ouyang's family is familiar with the head teacher of the Quanzhen sect." The elder looked exhausted, "It's better to invite a few senior and virtuous Taoist priests from the Quanzhen sect to come and do practical things, and send her on the road properly! "

The eldest lady nodded repeatedly.

"People from my family are coming soon, and the mansion is in such a state... Alas." The old man couldn't help but sigh, "This dead person really can't afford to offend!"

"It's all in the past, what to do with her." The eldest wife was a bit disapproving, "It's because the third aunt herself is not good, and she didn't know why, so she attacked her son. She is really a vixen sent by heaven to torment our Yang family! "

The elder's eyes flashed, but he didn't speak.

He asked again, "This time there is someone from the family, we have to send a family member back to do the genealogy—whose name do you plan to put Brother Nine under?"

The eldest lady pondered.

Of course, the old master's question is not aimless.

The only son who inherited the heir like Brother Jiu has always been written under the name of his aunt.

Especially the Yang family has a great career. In the future, after the death of Master Yang, it is inevitable that some people will miss the family property... and the family is separated by thousands of mountains and rivers.

Report Brother Nine as his son-in-law, and there will be fewer disputes in the future.My family can't say anything, after all, it's thousands of miles away, who knows if brother Jiu crawled out of the eldest wife's belly?
However, as soon as the son-in-law reported it, he couldn't even think about the matter of adoption...

"I'm thinking," said the elder slowly, "it's better to just give Jiu Yiniang an imperial order and lift up the decent concubine, so that she won't be able to protect Brother Jiu with peace of mind in the underground. What do you think?"

Ordinary aunts don't have imperial orders at all, but it is not unprecedented for an aunt like Jiu Yiniang who gave birth to the Yang family's only son to report a nine-rank imperial order to be a decent second-bedroom concubine.

Jiu Yiniang is a dead person, to praise her is fundamentally to praise Jiu Ge.Although the son of a serious second mother is a bastard, he cannot be treated the same as an ordinary bastard.

No matter how he dealt with it, it was paving the way for the ninth brother to inherit the family property in the future.

The eldest wife sighed, "Let's take a look at it again, we'll talk about it after finishing the ceremony!"

The Elder was silent for a moment, but still agreed.
