In the evening at Zhenbeihou Mansion, the surface was as usual.
After the meal, the old lady took Shen Qiang for a walk in the yard. After a while, Shen Qiang broke free from the old lady's hand, ran to the side to pick up a stone or something, and then ran back.
Behind, followed by Mrs. Yang, who still looked a little demented, and Madam Qian and a few maidservants walked beside her.
After walking for a while, the old lady turned her head and said to Mrs. Yang, "Wen'er fell down, so I can't come for dinner. Let's go and see Wen'er together." Mrs. Yang just nodded blankly.
A group of people arrived at Shen Wen's yard, the old lady and Mrs. Yang entered Shen Wen's house, and Madam Qian followed. Shen Qiang was still in high spirits, he didn't want to enter the house, so he ran around in the yard, and the other maids had to guard him in the yard.
Shen Wen was lying on the bed, saw a group of them entering the house, and was about to get up. Su Wanniang, who had been standing by the door when she heard the summons, hurried over to help Shen Wen. Shen Wen said weakly, "Grandmother, mother, Thank you for coming to see me, I'm in so much pain."
Yang Shi sat on the side of the bed, began to cry, and said vaguely: "Mother is scared..."
The old lady sighed, sat down on the chair, and said to Madam Qian: "Go and prepare something for your wife to wash. How can she get out after crying like this?"
Su Wanniang smiled and said to Madam Qian: "Madam, please come with me." Madam Qian glanced at the crying Yang, and followed Su Wanniang out hesitantly.
As soon as Madam Qian left, Yang cried in a low voice: "... Mother, I know something is wrong this time. What would happen if Wen'er went to the Fa Conference and those people pulled her out of the carriage?... Mama Qian She has been persuading me to let Wen'er leave the house, and the Fa conference was also her idea... I dare not look at her now, dare not speak to her, for fear that she will find out, I can't stand it..."
The old lady snorted, "It's good that you understand."
Yang cried even more bitterly: "She won't leave me even a step, what should I do?"
Shen Wen whispered: "Mother can let her go back to her hometown, just let her go to the elderly, if she doesn't leave, mother must be careful."
Yang sobbed softly: "She has been with me for so many years, as long as I can remember, she has been by my side..."
Shen Wen looked at the old lady, and the old lady sighed: "Have you ever thought about what will happen if Wen'er leaves the house and is pulled from the carriage by those people? There is only one death! Moreover, the last time someone harmed Qiang'er, Can you say that there is no Qianmai in it? If she sees that you are wrong, she will attack you if she makes a mistake. "
Yang cried again: "She is my wet nurse! She raised me! How could she do this?"
The old lady said coldly: "She is no longer the one who is looking for you! Have you forgotten? That winter hunt, she must have advised you to let Wen'er go? This time again! Don't be confused!"
Yang's maternal instinct to protect children returned, she no longer cried for grandma Qian, and looked at Shen Wen with tears in her eyes: "Poor son! You have to hurt yourself like this to avoid disaster! Mother, I'm sorry..."
Shen Wen blinked, and said weakly: "The doctor said that resting will heal."
At the door, Su Wanniang came in with a basin of water, Madam Qian waited with a towel, Mrs. Yang sighed, washed her face, and took the towel from Madam Qian with her head half down to wipe her face. Then Madam Qian tidied Yang's temples again, Yang's heart felt sour, and he choked up twice.
The old lady and Shen Wen exchanged glances, both were a little worried. Yang is not a person who can pretend, and Madam Qian has taken care of her for so many years, so she probably can't hide it. There are some words that Mrs. Yang may not be able to say.
Shen Wen smiled and said to Madam Qian: "Mama is so kind to my mother. It has been many years and she has been taking care of her. Aren't mama tired?"
Madam Qian replied with a smile: "I'm not tired. I watched Madam grow up. It's my job to take care of Madam. I don't feel tired."
The old lady also said: "After all these years, you are a grandmother, right? Maybe it's time to rest and take care of yourself."
Madam Qian's face twitched, and she sighed, "I'm worried about Madam, I've been with Madam for so many years, and I want to be by Madam's side every day to take care of me, so I feel at ease."
Shen Wen lowered her eyes, Madam Qian spoke so sincerely, but she was working for the prince, and passed on the situation of the Hou Mansion to the East Palace in detail, and tried to take care of her over and over again. Shen Wen couldn't face this kind of shamelessness.
The old lady looked at her and said, "You are so loyal."
Madam Qian replied with a smile: "The old lady praised her, but she is actually used to it."
The old lady sighed helplessly and said: "Wen'er take a good rest." Shen Wen hurriedly saluted and bid farewell on the bed. Shi immediately became clumsy with his hands and feet, but he didn't say anything. The three of them went to the yard, pulled Shen Qiang who was struggling, and left together.
Su Wanniang sent them to the courtyard gate before returning to Shen Wen's side. Shen Wen was pensive, and Su Wanniang whispered while tidying the quilt for her, "What's going on? Madam's expression is wrong."
Shen Wen sighed: "You can see it? Mother found out that Madam Qian is wrong."
Su Wanniang frowned: "Then what should Grandma Qian do if she finds out?"
Shen Wen frowned: "That's what I'm worried about, because I'm afraid that she will have some bad intentions and poison my mother."
Su Wanniang gritted her teeth: "How can there be such a person who betrays the master?!"
Shen Wen sighed again: "Actually, I don't think there is any distinction between master and servant. We are all human, and it's right for a tree to fall and a monkey to scatter. Humans have the instinct to survive. Who doesn't want to escape with their lives..."
Su Wanniang looked at Shen Wen unhappy: "How can you be so unruly?"
Shen Wen pouted and said: "In fact, I understand people very well. What I can't understand is that she is obviously a spy, but she is so affectionate on the surface! Saying nice things, stabbing a knife, this is bullying!"
Su Wanniang shook her head: "You don't look at the root cause, only look at the surface. If I say, as long as she betrays, no matter whether she pretends to be a good person on the surface, this person can't be taken. Do you still expect a spy to treat you sincerely? Can you be as sincere as you appear?"
Shen Wen thought for a while, then whispered: "But is she guilty to death?"
Su Wanniang looked at Shen Wen: "You want to kill her? In the mansion? How do you do it?"
Shen Wen shook his head: "I didn't do it, we just need to say a word, and she won't be able to live."
Su Wanniang asked, "What are you talking about?"
Shen Wen said in a low voice: "It is said that she has a deep bond with my mother."
This word was passed on from Xia Zi to the prince, not only Qianmai would not be able to live, but her family would not be able to live.
Su Wanniang slowly sat down by the bed, feeling a little heavy: "She's dead, madam will be sad, right? We've been together for so many years, look at madam's appearance today, she's so distracted."
Shen Wen was troubled, and whispered: "That's why I worry."
The two sat for a long while, weighing each other, and finally Shen Wen said: "This time the matter is not done, the prince will definitely be suspicious. If we don't talk, Madam Qian will be suspected. Wait a few days, just pay attention to her, Don't let her attack my mother because she is afraid of being discovered, you can find a chance to talk to my sister-in-law, let her follow mother often, I think she is a sensible person. "
Su Wanniang sighed: "You are so soft-hearted, what if she hurt your mother during this time? Don't you regret it?"
Shen Wen pressed his temple: "What should I do? Killing her will make my mother sad. If I don't kill her, I'm afraid she will harm my mother. I'm not soft-hearted, but I'm afraid that if she doesn't deserve what she deserves, she will have a grudge, which will damage us. luck."
Su Wanniang didn't care about these things: "Where are these random people, look at the prince, he has killed people like hemp, and it's okay."
Shen Wen shook his head: "The retribution of things in this world will be delayed, some will take a few years, some will take decades, some hundreds of years, and some will wait for thousands of years..."
Su Wanniang was surprised: "Thousands of years have passed, how can there be retribution?"
Shen Wen lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "Yes, you believe me, and some, if the crime is serious and arouses hatred, after a thousand years, retribution will come."
On the same day, Su Wanniang went to look for Mrs. Liu.
After saluting, Su Wanniang said straight to the point: "My lady also saw what happened that day, I think these days I should pay more attention to Madam, in case Madam Qian has bad thoughts."
Seeing the old lady getting angry that day, Mrs. Liu understood the whole story. Before his husband left, he told him to take good care of his sister-in-law, not because she was weak, but because she offended the prince. The prince never let her go for so many years and always wanted to harm her. Madam Qian next to the mother-in-law is a spy... and Su Wanniang, who was originally thought to be the one who bullied my sister-in-law, now seems to be the one who supports my sister-in-law's yard.
Mrs. Liu agreed, took Su Wanniang's hand and said, "I misunderstood you in the past, but it turns out that you are the most loyal. Don't worry, the Xia Qing and Xia Lan I gave you are all reliable, you can trust them."
Su Wanniang thanked Mrs. Liu, took her leave and went out to Shen Wen's courtyard. Along the way, she met Xia Zi from Wang Zhi's family. They were on the same road. Are Sister Wan and Madam Qian close?"
Su Wanniang immediately became alert, glanced at Xia Zi, and asked, "What's the matter with you?"
Xia Zi waved her handkerchief and said, "It's nothing. I just heard that Madam Qian helped Sister Xia Wan set up the rules in the yard when Sister Xia Wan first came. My sister has a hairpin, it seems that my sister has an unusual relationship with her. I have a relative who wants to enter the mansion, so I wonder if my sister can say something nice to Madam Qian?"
It was only then that Su Wanniang realized the burden in Shen Wen's heart. At this moment, a person's life, and even the life of her family, were on the tip of her tongue. As long as she said: "Madam Qian is indeed very close to me. Go and say something for you." She got rid of a spy for the Hou Mansion.
But Su Wanniang hesitated, even if Madam Qian deserved to die, should her family members also deserve to die? If he was so vicious, would he not be the same person as the prince? …
Su Wanniang put on a straight face, and said angrily: "I won't go, I don't have much contact with her, if she doesn't respond, I'll be ashamed! You can say it yourself!" Quickened her pace and walked away.
Xia Zi slowed down, thinking while walking: This is very wrong! Not to mention the two things I mentioned in my words, when Shen Wen wrestled two days ago, Madam Qian accompanied her back to the yard. I think back when the old lady was in charge, Su Wanniang was on one side, and Madam Qian was on the other... No matter how you look at it, both Su Wanniang and Madam Qian could speak for themselves. She definitely didn't want to do herself a favor, and she didn't want others to see her friendship with Madam Qian!
One of the leaders on the side of the prince in this mansion is Madam Qian, who had sent her a message. Now there is a message over there to find out if there are any people who have betrayed the prince and leaked the news, the more Xia Zi looks at it, the more she feels like Madam Qian! Besides, if Madam Qian is removed, will he be promoted to a level in the online team
Xia Zi went back to the house, wrote a note, sealed it, and put it in a tree hole in the yard. After dark, someone took it away.
In the Prince's East Palace, the staff members can be considered to have found a piece of news that can wash away their suspicions—their most important eyeliner, Madam Qian, who is by Yang's side, may be in Cao Ying and her heart is in Han, and she leaked the secret to the Hou Mansion.
"His Royal Highness, this grandma Qian was because we set a trap, causing her only son to owe a huge amount of gambling debts, and she chopped off his legs if she refused to repay. In order to save her son, she began to be our informant. Later, when His Highness became the crown prince, she was determined to give up, and many news came from her, saying that she is our most effective eyeliner."
Another person said: "That being said, she is Yang's wet nurse, and Yang has treated her well, doesn't it mean that, as time goes by, she feels sorry for her and shows her words to Yang, not wanting Second Miss Shen to be hurt? "
Another person analyzed: "I think she is probably trying to please both sides. One side passed us the news, and the other side protected Yang Shi and her child. It can be regarded as doing her best."
The prince sneered: "How can there be both in the world?! Who is in her family now?"
A person who knew the prince's style of conduct carefully said: "His Royal Highness, this person must still be used or get rid of. If she just killed her family, she will definitely turn against her in anger. After all, the Yang family is For the child she raised, Yang will definitely take into account decades of getting along and won't kill her."
The prince said clearly: "So she wants to take care of Yang Shi and her daughter, and both parties have gained favors! If the Zhenbeihou Mansion is over, with her service these years, I will give her a way out. If she is discovered, Because she is a wet nurse, Yang will not do anything to her. She thinks so well! Except for her! Let her die in an ugly way! Show those who have two feet on two boats. !"
An aide carefully persuaded: "She is by Yang's side, so she can know most things in the mansion..."
The prince said: "I don't need to know about the trivial matters in the mansion. What can Mrs. Yang say? Isn't it just some women's parents who are short-sighted!"
Another staff member flatteringly said: "Your Highness, the Crown Prince, knows that the Marquis of Zhenbei will not return to the mansion for two or three years. What happened in that mansion is irrelevant. It's nothing if she is missing. Besides, we have other people in that mansion." people."
But one of the staff said: "Let's keep her, we need more news, just don't tell her what we want to do in the future."
The prince waved his hand unhappily, and said: "I want to get rid of her. If you want to keep it, you can keep it. It's just that she ruined my affairs, and this person can't let her live in the future!"
This was how it happened, but a few days later, Madam Qian sent word that Mrs. Yang had doubts about her, and asked her if she could leave Zhenbei Hou Mansion and go home to take care of her.
As soon as the news came, everyone knew that Grandma Qian would not survive. Sure enough, the prince grinned grimly: "She wants to retreat completely? It seems that they spared her! But I don't have such a good heart! Tell her, poison Yang! If Yang is dead, she can go back to take care of her. Already!"
Yang has been in pain ever since she realized that Madam Qian had intentionally persuaded her to let Shen Wen leave the mansion.
Madam Qian almost harmed Shen Wen, if something happened to Shen Wen, she would die. As for those people's murder of Shen Qiang in the past, Aunt Qian must have been involved... Thinking about this, Yang's chest was filled with anger.
Yang tried her best to think back to when, Madam Qian was a little different? Is it sometimes inexplicable tension? Or the obvious gallantry in his own letters? My letters were all taken by Madam Qian and distributed to others. Now that I think about it, they were probably copied by outsiders! Yang really wanted to strangle Madam Qian to death.
But sometimes, I think of how many times Madam Qian combed her hair when she was young, called her "good girl", made various snacks for her, cut dresses for her, and told her folk legends... Growing up with her , accompany her to a new home, cheer her up and comfort her when she feels lonely, help her organize things when she is in a hurry...
She gave birth several times, and at the most vulnerable moments, Madam Qian was by her side. Especially when she gave birth to Shen Qiang, she felt that she was going to die, and was rescued by Duan Zeng. The old lady was only happy with her grandson, and only Madam Qian noticed that after Granny Wen took out the placenta, she immediately took off the bloody clothes and put them on. Cleaning the clothes and ordering the servants to change the bedding is really taking care of her! …
With all these things, she couldn't yell at Madam Qian. Yang could only avoid looking at Madam Qian's face.
Madam Qian is also living like a year these days.
The child she raised by herself is familiar with every move, and as soon as Yang Shi doesn't look at her, she knows that this time she tried her best to get Shen Wen out of the house and go to the Fa Conference, which finally aroused Yang's suspicion.
Madam Qian carefully observed Mrs. Yang, preparing her excuses in her heart. But Yang never questioned her, which made her feel even more uneasy.
If it weren't for the fact that his only son was framed by someone many years ago, and he owed three thousand taels of gambling debts and loan sharks, he would not have agreed to be an eyeliner. At that time, Madam Qian also wanted to confess to Yang, but she helped Yang's housekeeper, knowing that three thousand taels was not a small amount. Even if he wanted to pay back the money for her, he couldn't use the money from the government to make up for it. Yang's dowry is not rich, and even if she sells it, she won't be able to fill her son's hole. Maybe, I still think about Yang Shi in my heart, and I am afraid that I will cause too much trouble for her. The other party just asked her to pass on what she heard, which seemed easy at the time.
In fact, later on, she also realized that this was not a good solution. If she had told the truth to Yang Shi and Yang Shi had told her husband about the situation, her husband should be able to settle the matter. But I was confused for a while, and when I figured it out, I had already passed on some gossip about the later emperor that the old Hou Ye said in the mansion. up.
As a result, year after year, it was really not difficult to tell the other party what happened in the Hou's mansion. A few years ago, when she knew that the prince was actually the crown prince, Madam Qian became extra cautious: that party might attack the Zhenbei Hou Mansion in the future, and doing things for that party by herself would leave a way out.
Madam Qian felt very bitter, how could she be merciless towards Yang Shi? He held Yang with his own hands, nursed her, helped her toddler, and watched her grow up. Yang's father is away all year round, and there are not many servants in the mansion. Yang's mother is busy with various housework, and even Yang's father's clothes are made by her mother herself, so Yang's mother has no time to look after Yang. She brought it up. Madam Qian followed the Yang family to the Hou's mansion, and she was really glad that the daughter of a mid-level military general married into the family of the number one general in the court. Yang gave birth to sons one after another, and Madam Qian was also very proud of Yang.
Mrs. Yang is well, and she has something to rely on in her life. But if something happens to Mrs. Yang, what's wrong with Madam Qian making a plan for the whole family
Day by day, seeing Yang not looking her in the eyes, Madam Qian also had a hard time. Sometimes she wanted to complain to Mrs. Yang: I have worked so hard to raise you for so many years, follow you, my hair is gray and I still bring you tea and water, is it easy for me? Even if you tell others about everything in your house, I also have my own reasons! Why can't you forgive me? Even if I don't tell, others will! Nothing less! And I kept my son because of it, shouldn't I
She always felt that as long as she didn't hurt anyone, there was nothing wrong with passing on the news. Just let the second young lady leave the mansion, can the third young master not follow? Zhenbeihou's mansion is the number one military general in the court. If the carriage in the mansion can be easily attacked by others, wouldn't it be a joke? …
Thinking of the conversation in the second lady's room that day, Madam Qian's heart skipped a beat. Both the second lady and the old lady advised her to go home to take care of herself. Could it be that Mrs. Yang had already told them? In this case, in the future, if there is any important matter, they will definitely hide it from themselves, and it doesn't make much sense for them to stay here. It's better to really go home to take care of the elderly, get together with Yang, and leave without tearing up.
But if you want to go back, you have to say hello there. The prince's actions are vicious. If he doesn't make it clear, if he forces himself to come back, if he can't do it, the other party may feel that he is evading it, which is dangerous.
Madam Qian never imagined that the other party's response was to let her poison Yang Shi to death, and gave her a small packet of poison.
Madam Qian panicked.
She knows Yang's temperament, even if Yang finds out that she is really the prince's eyeliner, she will never kill herself, at most, she will drive herself to the Zhuangzi, and if she doesn't communicate anymore, it can be regarded as repaying the kindness of her upbringing. Contrary to what Shen Wen and Su Wanniang guessed, Aunt Qian never wanted to poison Yang Shi, and now that the other party asked her to do it, Aunt Qian couldn't bear it either.
Grandma Qian was entangled, unable to move for a long time. In the eyes of others, she and Yang Shi are both a little weird.
After a few more days of stalemate, it was Yang who collapsed first. One night, she suddenly took Madam Qian's hand and wept: "Mama! Go back and take care of yourself! Don't stay here!"
Madam Qian also cried, and choked up and said, "I'm sorry, Miss..." Mrs. Yang was already full of children, but Madam Qian called her "Miss", so Yang could not restrain her grief and burst into tears. .
The two hugged each other and cried for a while, but didn't say anything. Many things have been done, what can be explained? Since you can say goodbye like this, let's have a good cry.
That night, Madam Qian packed her luggage, and as soon as it was dawn, Mrs. Yang had someone tidy up the carriage and sent Madam Qian back to her son's house outside the Hou Mansion. It was said to the outside world that Madam Qian and the Yang family turned their faces, and Madam Qian left the Hou Mansion.
In the morning, Mrs. Yang and the old lady came to Shen Wen's room together again. After listening to Mrs. Yang with red and swollen eyes, she said that Mrs. Qian had left, she quietly looked at Su Wanniang. shock.
That time when Shen Jian used the trick of borrowing a knife to kill people and got rid of those traitors who wanted to murder Shen Qiang, the old lady had lingering fears about Shen Jian. But before Shen Jian left, he let himself listen to the little granddaughter, Shen Wen and Su Wanniang glanced at each other, and the old lady could see the helplessness in their eyes, it seemed that Madam Qian was dead. She thought that this time it was a repeat of the old trick, and Shen Jian probably followed Shen Wen's strategy last time.
The old lady looked at Shen Wen with a sluggish expression on the bed with emotion, and secretly thought that at such an old age, she could only now see clearly the minds of the juniors in the Hou's mansion, she was really confused.
Sitting beside Shen Wen's bed, with tears still in her eyes, Yang said to Shen Wen: "Wen Er, Madam Qian, although she has done something sorry for you, she is kind to me. I... I..." I I'm sorry for you.
Shen Wen glanced at Su Wanniang timidly, Su Wanniang knew that it was Shen Wen who asked her to be the villain, and sighed: "Ma'am, it's because you are thinking of her kindness and don't pursue what she did. Over there, you can let her go." Ever passed her?"
Yang raised her head suddenly, got up and shouted: "Quick! Go and call the third son!"
But it was already too late. Someone ran out of the yard and asked loudly, "Madam! Is Madam there? Something happened to Madam Qian!"
After Yang's flash, Su Wanniang hurriedly helped her up, and the two of them left Shen Wen's room.
In the room, only the old lady and Shen Wen were left. Shen Wen looked at the old lady carefully: "Grandma, do you blame me?"
The old lady also showed sadness, she came over and sat next to Shen Wen, and sighed: "It's hard for you, Wen'er, at this age, you have to worry about these things. She asked for it herself, you just..." The old lady shook her head .
Shen Wen said: "I can actually save her."
The old lady nodded: "I know, just send her away in advance, we still have some connections in the mansion. But have you ever thought about it, if you send her away, it is equivalent to telling the other party all the personnel affairs along the way. Your mother is a little confused , always thinking that Madam Qian raised her, but if Madam Qian is really sincere to your mother, how can she be an eyeliner?"
Shen Wen sighed: "She must have fallen into the other party's grasp, grandma. Speaking of which, she is not guilty of death." In future generations, Madam Qian is an accomplice, and the attempted murder is not a capital crime.
The old lady patted Shen Wen's hand: "You think everything is fair, but now, our house doesn't have that chance."
Outside the yard, there was Yang's crying, and Shen Wen looked depressed.
The old lady is so old, her father and brother, cousins far and near, her husband's father, and her husband all died on the battlefield. In the nearly sixty years she has lived, she has heard and seen how many soldiers shed blood on the battlefield. But even if it was like this, it would not bring the safety of the family, and she felt unfair. She is a girl, and she doesn't think much about the so-called dogma of loyalty to the emperor, she only thinks that she should try her best to help the children survive. If there is any condemnation and blame, let her bear it.
The old lady said solemnly: "Even if you tell me, I won't let you save her. She has been by your mother's side for so many years, so she can't go on like this. Don't blame yourself for not saving her, you should I understand that some people are hopeless."
Shen Wen saluted the old lady, and the old lady got up and left with a sigh.
When I got outside, I knew what was going on: not long after Madam Qian arrived home, a group of masked men broke into her son's house and chopped up anyone who saw her. Her son and daughter-in-law died, and her grandson and granddaughter were severely wounded.
Crying, Mrs. Yang asked Shi Helin and Duan Zeng to save people while sending them to collect the funeral, saying that the Hou's mansion paid for it. When a person dies, she only remembers the good of the other person, especially when Madam Qian's family members died, Yang felt even more sad. In the evening, it was said that Madam Qian's granddaughter had been rescued, but her grandson was not. At the end of the day, Mrs. Yang didn't get much water and rice. When she heard the news, she lost her energy and lay down on the bed, but she still didn't forget to ask Mrs. Liu to arrange a funeral ceremony for Mrs. Qian's family and bring Mrs. Qian's granddaughter into the mansion to raise her. .
Seeing this, Mrs. Liu hurriedly asked someone to pick up Mr. Shi and Mr. Duan to the mansion to diagnose Mrs. Yang. Shi Helin gave Yang's pulse, saying that it was phlegm rushing into her heart orifice, and the stagnation of the liver was hard to relieve, so she asked her to relax and not worry too much.
Su Wanniang returned to the house, and asked Shen Wen with some trepidation: "Did I still say something wrong that day?" The whole family was ruined.
Shen Wen said weakly: "You don't mean harm by saying that, the old lady said, she is hopeless."
Seeing that Shen Wen was not in a good mood, Su Wanniang comforted her and said, "She had to bear the consequences when she chose that master over there. The people over there are not people who think about love like your mother. To put it bluntly, you Mother is feeling uncomfortable now because she didn't see what Madam Qian did. If something really happened to the Hou's Mansion in the future, she would see Madam Qian harming the Hou's Mansion with her own eyes. At that time, there was really no love at all. "
Shen Wen thought for a while and couldn't help nodding. She didn't know the ending of Madam Qian in her previous life, but she could imagine how angry she would be if she knew that her wet nurse had already voted for someone else when she was murdered in the Hou Mansion, which was enough to make Yang go to extremes.
Although this was not the first time Shen Wen refused to save her, but this was the first time after her rebirth, she felt pity for the person who killed her, and this feeling made her very uncomfortable.
In the East Palace, the prince felt very refreshed: "If this kind of person with both heads and ends let her live, wouldn't it appear that I let her play tricks? You finally accomplished something!"
The staff hurriedly responded: "Your Highness is wise! Mrs. Yang was extremely distressed by Madam Qian's death. She paid for her family's burial and even asked people to save her grandchildren. It can be seen that Madam Qian confessed to Mrs. Yang. No one can spare her!"
Soon, all the eyeliners in the Hou's mansion were notified - if someone wanted to please both sides, Madam Qian's fate would be the result! Don't think that you can retire safely if you become an eyeliner. If you are half-hearted, you will only die.
With this kind of reward mechanism, the eyeliners are all hard-working, and they all strive to be the first. The news sent to the East Palace has not decreased, but has increased, which completely made up for the blank after Madam Qian left.
During the turmoil in the Zhenbeihou Mansion, the third prince came to visit.
Upon hearing this, Shen Zhuo hurriedly greeted him outside the door, and after saluting, he invited the third prince into the living room.
The third prince asked Shen Zhuo with concern: "I heard that you were robbed outside the city, is anyone hurt?"
As soon as Shen Zhuo heard the word "men", his heart skipped a beat, and when he heard the third prince say "hurt", he looked at the third prince with an extra layer of clarity—he was sitting in perfect condition. Here, there must be no injuries. If the third prince asks who is injured, won't it be clear
Shen Zhuo hurriedly sighed slightly: "I'm fine, but my eldest sister was somewhat startled. Where did she see so many people rushing towards her? At that time, she thought she was on the battlefield."
Anger immediately appeared on the face of the third prince, he bit his lip, and asked after a while: "How many people did you not kill? You can't let them be so rampant!"
Shen Zhuo smiled wryly: "Those people are dressed as refugees, if they really killed people, everyone will say that the Zhenbei Hou Mansion killed people indiscriminately, and it will cause trouble for my father."
The third prince clenched his fist and let out a hey. Untied a sword from his waist, held it to Shen Zhuo with both hands, but did not meet Shen Zhuo's eyes, and said: "When my mother and concubine passed away, I took Miss Shen's sword by mistake, please Give her this sword for self-defense."
Shen Zhuo looked at the sword, it was obviously a long sword for women, the blade was short and narrow, the outer bronze scabbard was carved with exquisite flowers, and the hilt was inlaid with precious stones. Shen Xiang's sword was passed down from the swords used by his elder brothers when they were young. Shen Zhuo could tell at a glance that the sword in the hands of the third prince was not the sword of the Houfu, but he still reached out to take it, and said with a smile: "I will definitely give it to you. Big sister."
The third prince said with some embarrassment: "It was a knife cut, let her be careful."
Shen Zhuoxin said that these children in the Hou Mansion have been armed with knives, guns and sticks since they were young, so they are afraid of being cut off? Ke could hold back a smile and said, "I will definitely tell her."
After sending out the sword, the third prince felt that he had completed his mission and got up to leave. Shen Zhuoxin said that he didn't come to see me, and he didn't even talk nonsense with me.
Shen Zhuo sent the third prince to the door. Before the third prince left, he suddenly asked Shen Zhuo worrying about gain and loss: "Tell me, will she take the sword?"
Shen Zhuo almost laughed, but he thought about it seriously: "Isn't that her own sword? How could she not accept it?"
The third prince bit his lower lip, blushed slightly, and hurriedly got on his horse and left.
Shen Zhuo and the third prince have had a deep friendship over the years, and the two elder brothers both said that they want to make friends with the third prince. If the third prince wants to be his brother-in-law, Shen Zhuo agrees. As for things like passing on privately, Shen Zhuo wished he had the opportunity to pass something on to Zhang Yunjin, he really wanted to rebel against all kinds of rules and regulations.
Holding the sword and smiling all over his face, he went to look for Shen Xiang, but when he arrived at Shen Xiang's martial arts field, he put away his smile and waved to Shen Xiang. Shen Xiang rode over, got off the horse, frowned and asked Shen Zhuo, "Why are you smiling all over your face?"
Shen Zhuo was surprised: "I didn't laugh!"
Shen Xiang said firmly: "Laugh!"
Brothers and sisters of this age in other people's families have long since stopped seeing each other, and they would like to have a screen when they meet, but the two of them often fight in the martial arts field. Shen Zhuo couldn't deceive Shen Xiang's eyesight, so he gave up the disguise , smiled and raised the sword in his hand: "Alright, alright, I'll bring you the sword."
Shen Xiang disdainfully said: "What kind of sword is this
Shen Zhuo thought in his heart, no wonder the third prince told Shen Xiang to be careful, it seemed that the sword was sharp, on the surface he pretended to be surprised and said: "Isn't this your sword?"
Shen Xiang said in amazement: "No!"
Shen Zhuo really smirked now, his eyes narrowed into two lines: "But how can the third prince say that it was the year when his mother passed away, and he took your saber by mistake, and now he is giving it back to you? What's going on? thing? Huh?"
Shen Xiang blushed, put the sword back into its sheath, turned around and left with the sword in hand, Shen Zhuo said to her back: "Look carefully, if it's not you, I can give it back to him!"
Shen Xiang got on the horse, kicked the horse's belly, and flew away in the dust. Shen Zhuo fanned the dust in front of him with one hand, and sighed: "The girl is not allowed to stay..."

As the twelfth lunar month enters, every family starts to be busy with the New Year's affairs again. Changlehou's Mansion couldn't hold on any longer, and started selling things, and wrote a letter saying that it was going to move to the countryside.
The emperor read the memorial, because it was Jia's elder brother's family, and then thought of Jia, and then remembered... He called a trusted general in the Yulin Army and said: "You brought more than forty people to follow Mr. Gu Take a look at Pingyuan Hou's Mansion, no matter whether he is capable or not, he must be killed before leaving the mansion." How can a eunuch who may be poisoned live in the palace
When the man retreated in response, the emperor suddenly became suspicious, and sniffed the tea in his hand again.
Eunuch Gu didn't hear this conversation.
