concubines are respected

Chapter 79
After returning from visiting their father in Qinglong Temple, the Lin family returned to calm. Suxian and Lin Zhilan still went to the family's house on time every day to learn the rules under the guidance of Nanny Chen.

On the other hand, Marquis Annan tried his best to investigate the third aunt, even checked the details of the people who were close to the third aunt on weekdays, as well as the details of the third aunt's family, but found nothing unusual.

Because of this, Suxian doubted her guess.Maybe it was because I was too savage, or maybe the person who poisoned him that night was originally going for Xueying, but I just happened to meet him, so I almost lost my life.Otherwise, with San Yiniang's two moves and three moves, how could there be such a big commotion.

However, there was no news from the Hou Mansion in the past few days, so Su Xing had to put the matter aside for the time being and continue to spend his days peacefully.

One day, in the side hall of our house, Nanny Chen was teaching Suxian and Zhilan how to practice palace etiquette, but there was a servant girl running hurriedly from the outer courtyard, and at the same time shouted loudly, "Housekeeper Li, hurry up!" , quickly send someone to invite the doctor, the old lady has passed away..."

As soon as these words came out, the outer courtyard immediately exploded, and Suxian and Zhilan in the side hall also strode towards the main room of the old lady.

The main room of the old lady is not far from the side hall, the two Suxian and sisters rushed to the room in two steps of three steps.

The maid, Yun Rong, was lying beside the bed, crying like she was crying, while gently shaking the old matriarch's body, she sobbed, "Old matriarch, wake up quickly, don't scare your servants!" what···"

"What's going on here?" Su Xian was stunned, seeing the old lady's face was ashen, her eyes closed tightly, she didn't move no matter how she called out to Yunrong, she looked very creepy.

Seeing this, Lin Zhilan let out a low cry, but didn't dare to approach, she stared at the silent old matriarch on the bed, and murmured, "Ah! Could it be that the old matriarch has gone..."

"Eldest sister!" Suxian turned around and gave Lin Zhilan a look angrily and urgently. At this time, if such unkind words were heard by her cousin, there might be big troubles.

Xu Shi realized that she had made a slip of the tongue, Lin Zhilan hurriedly fell silent, raised her hand to cover her lips, but she still didn't dare to take a step forward.

"Hurry up, pinch the old lady among the people." Seeing that Yun Rong was completely out of control, Suxian could only know how to keep crying, so she hurriedly called out.

Yun Rong woke up violently and responded again and again, but her eyes were blurred by tears, her hands trembled even more violently, even though her fingertips were tightly pinched in the middle of the old lady's person, she was still trembling because of her horror.

"Oh, let me do it." Suxian stepped forward anxiously, pushed Yun Rong aside, and pinched her thumb firmly on the Renzhong acupoint of the old matriarch. This trick really worked, and the old matriarch let out a breath , Shi Shiran woke up.

Opening his eyes, seeing Suxian's young and beautiful face, two lines of tears slipped out of his eyes, choked up and murmured, "My Qing'er, my poor son..."

"What's going on, who is Qing'er that the old lady is talking about?" Suxian turned her head and asked Yun Rong in confusion.

Yun Rong answered with a twitch, "Qing'er is the maiden name of the old lady's second daughter. In the early years, the second aunt's grandmother married to the Guo family in Wuzhou. Because of the long distance, she hasn't come back to visit relatives for more than ten years. Today The Guo family in Wuzhou came with a letter from home. The letter said that the second uncle was thrown into prison after a lawsuit, and the second aunt was frightened. She was bedridden with illness for many days and left her 15-year-old cousin. It's gone..."

It turned out that the old matriarch actually encountered a great tragedy when a white-haired man sent a black-haired man to him in his twilight years. No wonder she couldn't breathe and passed out.

At this time, Steward Li had already led the doctor into the room in a hurry, and saw that the old lady had woken up with a relaxed expression on her face, but she still didn't dare to neglect, and asked the doctor to diagnose the pulse as soon as possible.

The old matriarch fainted, but couldn't get up with a bad breath, and since she woke up, there would naturally be no serious problems.To be on the safe side, the doctor checked the pulse carefully, prescribed some nourishing and calming prescriptions as usual, and then retreated.

On the other side, the old lady also got the letter and hurried over.Knowing that the second aunt's husband's family had undergone drastic changes, she shed some tears and was relieved for a while, and the old lady finally calmed down.

"Steward Li, ask someone to take care of the west courtyard. The letter said that Juan'er has already set off from Wuzhou, and she will arrive in a few days." The old matriarch lay on the bed and gave orders to Steward Li weakly. .

The silk in the old lady's mouth is her only granddaughter - Guo Zijuan.The letter stated that Guo's family was in decline, and Guo Zijuan was unaccompanied in Wuzhou. On the day after her mother's funeral, she went to the capital to join the Lin family.

"Yes, I'll do it now, old slave." Steward Li replied cautiously, and quickly retreated.

After such a toss, the old lady fell asleep drowsily under Yun Rong's service.

Suxian helped the old lady who was affected by the old lady's emotions, and returned to her house.

Along the way, the old lady murmured, "Poor girl, Miss Qing is weak since she was young, and my old sister-in-law loves her very much. After Miss Qing got married back then, who would have known that Mr. Guo would offend her in court?" The old lady was not willing to let the Qing girl marry Wuzhou, and originally intended to divorce, but the old lady was too stubborn and insisted that she should not break her promise. The old lady The Taijun couldn't resist the old man, so he had to marry Miss Qing to Wuzhou with tears in his eyes."

After all, the old lady was getting old, so she was a little bit verbose, and kept talking about the old things of the family along the way.Suxian also took advantage of the coincidence, even though these old sesame seeds and rotten millet things had nothing to do with her, she also obediently agreed.

"Who knows, Miss Qing married into Wuzhou, and she has been there for more than ten years. She never had a chance to go back to her mother's house. The Guo family did not live up to it. It became more and more declining in Wuzhou. I heard that the old man of the Guo family died a few years ago. My son-in-law is only the magistrate of Qipin County. He lost the protection of the old lady and was squeezed out in the officialdom. I don't want to be in a lawsuit now, not only getting myself into jail, but also making Miss Qing lose her mind. How can the old lady not feel sorry for her..." The old lady talked all the way, and returned to Shou'anju in a blink of an eye.

"Grandmother, now that Aunt Qing has passed away, you still take pity on your own body, just to express your condolences." Suxian has never met this Aunt Qing. The body was seriously injured, and he quickly comforted him softly.

"What I said is that Miss Qing has already gone. It's only because the old lady was not persistent enough to keep her daughter by her side to take care of her." The old lady sighed heavily, sitting on the brocade couch, lightly Patting Suxian's soft little hands, he said slightly comfortingly, "With the lessons learned from the past, I have to cheer up, and I will definitely not let the four of you sisters marry far away, and choose a good family for you nearby. Although Lu My son has promised others, but fortunately he has not left the capital, and I can feel relieved to have someone to take care of me at all times."

The old lady spoke for a while, Suxian pursed her lips and smiled, dragged a soft pillow and stuffed it behind the old lady's back, trying to make her lean more comfortably, seeing that the old lady's eyes were slightly closed, she felt sleepy, Suxian stopped talking, Pulling over the thin blanket to cover the old lady, she turned around and smiled at Mother Yue, and quietly backed out.

The old lady was so emotional that on the way back to the hospital, Suxian's words echoed in her mind from time to time.

Suddenly, Suxian's steps froze, and she whispered to herself, "Yes, these days, I only care about doubting the person in front of me, how can I forget her!"

With her thoughts settled, Suxian quickened her pace and walked towards Yiyuexuan.

"Where is Swallow, tell her to come into the room and talk." As soon as Suxian returned to Yiyuexuan, she ordered Cuiya who was watering the flowers on the flower bed on the side of the yard.

"Second Miss, Yanzi said that he has something to go out, and he hasn't come back yet." Cuiya wiped the water stains on her hands on the apron, put down the wooden ladle in her hand, and walked towards Suxian, "Second Miss If you have any orders, let the servants do it."

"Go ahead, Swallow will come back later and let her come in and talk."

Because Yanzi has some kung fu, Suxian entrusts Yanzi with all the errands of going out of the house to communicate with the outside world.

Since that day, at Qinglong Temple, after Murong Haotian promised to check the details of the third concubine for Suxian, Suxian was in her boudoir, and it was inconvenient for Suxian to go out of the house to meet Murong Haotian to discuss the progress of the situation, so Yanzi naturally ran errands in the middle. letter.

At this moment, Yanzi is out of the house again, so it is possible that there is new news from Murong Haotian's side.

Suxian sat quietly in the room, thinking carefully in her mind, because she was so engrossed in thinking that she didn't even notice that Xiang Cao brought hot tea into the room.

"Second Miss, what are you thinking about? Have a sip of hot tea." Xiang Cao put the tea on the table and said in a low voice.

"You came at the right time, Vanilla. These days, I have almost suspected all the people in the mansion who have motives to harm me, but I have not found any useful clues. Just now I suddenly remembered that I seem to have overlooked a very important I'm planning to let Yanzi go to Lord Hou's mansion, and ask him to check it for me." Suxian didn't care about drinking tea, and quickly said the doubts in her heart to Xiangcao.

"Who is the second lady talking about?" When Vanilla heard that she had another clue, she immediately regained her spirits, wishing she could find out who was behind the scenes right now.

Just as Suxian was about to speak, the sound of small footsteps in the yard was getting closer, and then Cui Ya's voice came, "Swallow, Second Miss is looking for you, and I want you to come in and talk."

"Well, I also have something to report to Second Miss." Yanzi's voice was slightly panting, it seemed that he was trotting all the way back.

When Suxian heard this, she didn't care about talking to Xiangcao, she immediately sat up straight, and Xiangcao also came to the door very cleverly, and opened the curtain for Yanzi.

Swallow quickly entered the room, before saluting Suxian, she said, "Second Miss, I went to the outer courtyard to check today, and saw three circles drawn on the stone steps in front of the mansion. I know it well, Lord Hou There must be something important, so I didn't have time to report back to you and went to the Hou Mansion to see Lord Hou."

The meaning of the circle Yanzi said was the secret signal that Suxian and Murong Haotian had agreed in advance.

Suxian is currently the fifth concubine to be elected, so it is really inconvenient to meet a man with a foreign surname.In order to get news from the Hou Mansion quickly and without attracting attention.The two agreed that if there was news, Murong Haotian would order the servant to draw a circle with stone powder on the steps of the mansion.The number of circles indicates the importance of the message.

There are three circles today, it seems that the news is extremely important, Yanzi has no time to report back in order to avoid delay, and rushes to the Hou's Mansion with the waist card that Suxian specially assigned her.

"Tell me, but Master Hou found out the result?" Suxian didn't care about anything else with Yanzi, and asked anxiously.

Yanzi leaned forward and whispered in Suxian's ear mysteriously, "Master Hou said that he has already found out that the third aunt didn't know about this matter, but the third lady can't get rid of it."

"That's true! It's so disgusting, I've already married out of the house, and I'm still making trouble!" Suxian gnashed her teeth and said, "I was talking to Xiangcao just now, I have a thousand calculations, It happened that one person was missed. I was thinking about asking you to pass this news on to Master Hou. Unexpectedly, Master Hou already had a clue..."
