Wen Ying didn't need to speak, her eldest maid, Qiu Se, had already taken a leap, and her big ear was slapped on Luo Xiang's face.
"Huqin full of mouth! You help Madam with something, what did you do for Madam!? Madam told you to take care of the eldest lady, did you take good care of her! What a clumsy girl, she can't help Madam with anything, and she has the face Ask Madam to intercede for you?!"
Wen Ying held the tassel under the sandalwood fan in her hand, and listened to her pun with relish.
Even a girl can grow ten sets of minds, and the house is really boring.
But just these one or two sentences may not dispel Song Zheng's suspicion. She is not someone who just argues to win or lose. Wen Ying thought for a while, and said to Song Zheng: "This girl is insinuating, and there are ghosts in what she said, why don't you send someone to interrogate her?"
She tore through the window paper at once, which made Song Zheng startled, but he didn't refuse, and handed over the matter of interrogating Luo Xiang to his cronies.
The servants and servants of the Song Mansion seem to have sensed the change in the direction of the wind in the mansion. If the original owner hadn't been in business for many years and had accumulated power for a long time, he might be about to make trouble in no time.
On the other side, the big maid Qiu Se knelt down in front of Wen Ying with a "plop" and blamed herself: "Madam, forgive me! If I hadn't hesitated for a while, I could have called Luo Xiang to stop..."
Unexpectedly, the eldest lady was rescued by the maid, and Luo Xiang turned against her.
Wen Ying is still not used to others kneeling on her, so she turned to the side and said: "Get up, I was negligent about this matter, fortunately there is a way to solve it..."
It is normal for the higher-ups to change orders day and night, but the little girl doesn't understand, and the executive power is weakened.
While she was talking, suddenly, a shadow jumped out of the slanting spine, and fell on Wen Ying's knee. Because her legs were short and weak, she hung down like a blanket, pitiful and cute.
Wen Ying burst into laughter, remembering that this is the kitten Fubao raised by the original owner, with a sweet baby face, like a modern Napoleon cat.
She picked it up and put it on her lap.
The original owner was in his early twenties, and the youngest husband was ten years old. In modern times, he was still old enough to act like a spoiled child to his parents, but in ancient times, he was no longer young. Since he had no children, he raised a cat to relieve boredom.
She patted Shun Fubao's hair, and said to her: "I have a few things for you to do, don't mess it up this time."
When Qiu Se heard this, she immediately cheered up and went to the master to obey her orders.
As soon as she left, Fu Bao suddenly yelled at the door. Its voice was so charming that it made people's bones go limp.
Wen Ying looked up and saw that z942121 appeared out of nowhere. She rubbed Fu Bao, "You're quite clever."
Z942121 said with a cold face, "The background of this world is different from the previous one. If you focus on the back house, even if you get Song Zheng's love, you will only be rated as e-level. You will be punished."
Wen Ying pretended to be surprised: "You are so serious, are you the future husband who wants me to snatch his 'daughter'?"
"..."
"What do you think of him?"
Her finger moved on the light source map, and she clicked on the position that was as bright as the North Star, it was today's day!
z942121 is just a bunch of data, but it has guided several envoys and already has experience and memory. Even so, it still feels "surprised" by Wen Ying's choice.
"I don't understand? In fact, I have thought of other plans, but in ancient times, if I behaved too outrageously, I would be arrested as a monster. Besides, let me start a company, open a store, and run a business to be a strong woman. I haven't learned yet. In the If you want to be sought after by people here, being a noble lady is a good choice, all good things are spread from the palace, followed by the nobles, and then the common people follow suit, fame will be gained."
No matter which aspect is considered, Tianzi Wei Lingheng is very suitable.
Like her husband, he was in his early thirties, a young man. If it were a middle-aged uncle, she probably wouldn't consider this plan.
The only obstacle is her status as a courtier's wife.
z942121 was noncommittal, and only gave her a warm reminder: "First, you need to get in touch with him."
Indeed, the emperor has been living in the palace, and she is trapped in the inner house, so it is extremely difficult to get in touch with the other party.
Song Xi has changed a lot recently.
She rewarded the rough envoy who saved her, promoted her to first-class maid, and started to get close to the nurse Zheng Mama again.
The servant girl is very strong, she has been doing sweeping work in the outer courtyard, but she is very loyal.
Similarly, in her previous life, the wet nurse had always been at odds with her stepmother. After she got close to her stepmother, she naturally alienated her. She also listened to her stepmother, thinking that the wet nurse provoked the relationship between their mother and daughter and wanted to control her, the eldest lady of the Song family. . She was raised to be arrogant and arrogant by her stepmother, and she couldn't accept being controlled by a servant.
As time went by, the wet nurse's words were ignored by her. After her death, the nurse died because of depression.
Only now did she know that the nanny was the one who truly treated her well.
But just as she was talking sweet words to Mama Zheng, a servant girl rushed in, "Miss, it's too bad! Someone wants to arrest Mama Zheng for interrogation, saying that Luo Xiang was ordered by Mama Zheng!"
"What?!"
Song Xi stood up abruptly, his face full of disbelief.
Zheng's mother was also shocked and angry, "It's Wen Shi! She must be behind the scenes!"
It was indeed Wen Ying's fault. She asked Qiu Se to let out the wind, let the servants talk to each other, and handed the information she wanted to spread to Song Zheng's cronies.
In fact, Luo Xiang is indeed Mama Zheng's.
In the beginning, Mother Zheng was afraid that her stepmother would instigate Song Xi, so she put Luo Xiang next to Song Xi early. Both Luo Xiang's family and Mama Zheng's house are companions of the original wife. Her family is close to Mama Zheng, and Mama Zheng is not worried.
It's a pity that Luo Xiang's children's family is not like Zheng's mother who has her heart as the old master. The original owner gave her more benefits, and she was able to coax her.
But on the bright side, it is clear that Zheng's mother has a closer relationship with her.
Speaking of Luo Xiang, if she got it once, she could turn her back a second time. Previously, Song Xi had threatened her because of her adultery. But right now, all the power in the mansion is in Wen Ying's hands, whether to keep her or sell her is a matter of one sentence. Wen Ying asked someone to scare her. Compared with being punished for adultery, the fate of being sold out was obviously worse. She was not strong-willed, and immediately turned back.
Mama Zheng was born tough, and she had milked the young lady too much. She tried her best to seek justice, but the servants didn't dare to stop her, and she rushed to the upper room if she couldn't see her.
Wen Ying was talking to Song Zheng's cronies, and the door was wide open.
As soon as she stepped into the threshold, she immediately questioned: "Why did Madam wrong me! She said that I instigated someone to push the young lady into the water, bah, what kind of nonsense was made up by a rotten heart! My sister is my baby. I watched her grow up, so be careful!" Damn it, I'm going to hurt her in a daze, what good am I doing?!"
As the loyal maidservant beside Wen Ying, how could Qiu Se let his wife take action? Didn't he lose his identity!
She took a step forward and took the lead to pinch her: "Mama Zheng, please don't be wronged, Luo Xiang confessed to this matter, we are also surprised, what benefit can mother get, to harm the eldest lady like this?!"
She hit her upside down and made Mama Zheng fall backwards in anger!
The confidant was very kind, and came to smooth things over: "Mom, don't worry, that maid named Luo Xiang has repeated attitudes, is inconsistent, and does not have complete credibility. I am discussing with my wife..."
"What are you discussing with Madam? She did this! How else can you say that stepmother has been vicious since ancient times, my poor sister, if my mother is wronged, how will you live in the future—" she cried When he got up, a group of servants heard him, and they were poking around outside.
Wen Ying didn't argue with her, she just turned to her cronies and said, "Mr. also saw that Mama Zheng has always been at odds with me, and she always thought I was going to harm Xi'er. She is an old man left behind by my sister, so I don't dare to embarrass her. All the affairs in Xi'er Courtyard will be arranged by her, and I dare not intervene."
Seeing is believing, the cronies nodded.
Qiu Se caught Wen Ying's gaze, and immediately added: "Although the young lady fell into the water this time, she was rescued as soon as she got down, as if she had been trained. Mama Zheng must have never thought of harming the young lady, but It seems that he wants to use this to slander Madam!"
In this way, the motive is found.
Zheng's mother's eyes widened, secretly hating this vicious woman for her tricks, but luckily her sister gave her some advice, so she was about to reveal the matter about the cousin.
She can arrange things in her sister's yard, but she can't hide a big man in the back house, can she? !
But as soon as she opened her mouth, Wen Ying stood up, and with this movement, everyone in the room looked at her.
She showed her actress-level acting skills, and sighed softly, "Mom, tell me, did the Wen family send you to do this?"
What? !
Everyone in the room was stunned, and even Song Zheng who was outside the door stopped.
"I know my mother doesn't like me. That's right. I'm just a concubine. I'm not as noble as my sister, and I'm not qualified to raise her children. She married me because she wanted me to occupy this position and not let others It's all for women to come in. Now that Xi'er is getting close to me, the old man thinks she is not happy."
There was so much information in these words that they stunned everyone for a moment.
Wen Ying glanced at the figure reflected on the window screen, with a smile on her face, but one could tell that she was sad.
Song Zheng frowned slightly, and couldn't help thinking that she always seemed to be smiling like this, no matter how impatient his attitude was, she would not care, and the next day, she would still be smiling for him.
But right now, he heard her low voice coming out.
"I just want to talk to someone, but I don't have a child of my own..." She seemed to be suppressing her sadness and asked, "Did Mom forget why my child disappeared?"
Song Zheng's heart skipped a beat, and Mama Zheng's face was as pale as paper when she thought of the pool of blood and the woman's painful cries.
Inside and out, there was complete silence.
But at this time, Wen Ying called out from the house: "Is the master here?"
Before hearing Song Zheng's reply, she opened her mouth, "Qiu Se, what about the egg custard that I asked the small kitchen to make earlier? Go and bring it here, and I'll pad my stomach first."
When Song Zheng walked in, she greeted him as if nothing had happened, and talked to him with a smile: "A few days ago, you had a bad stomach, so I didn't dare to let you eat carelessly. Today, I asked them to release your favorite shrimp." , keep it as you like."
It was as if the ice had been broken in the room, and the maids were all busy, looking lively.
Song Zheng looked at her with complicated eyes. If she complained to him about these words, he would leave impatiently. But her attitude now...
In the end, he let his cronies take Mama Zheng away, and also ate the bowl of egg custard.
The shrimps are delicious, and the custard is smooth. It is the same as usual every day, but it is a little different.
In the evening, Wen Ying held her chin by the window and continued to play her sad young woman. Compared with the evidence, what Song Zheng thinks and whom he favors is actually the most important thing for an upright official to decide on family affairs.
But compared to the struggle in the house, it is more difficult for her to get in touch with the emperor.
Fortunately, the task reward in the last world gave her inspiration—Meng Yinxiang can make her weave the dreams she wants, and the dreams are not blocked by walls.
In the palace, when Wei Lingheng inspected his son's studies, he saw that the third prince Wei Xuan was absent-minded, and he borrowed the Taifu's board to tap on his son's palm.
"I asked you to go to the Minister's Mansion, He Sheng, on my behalf. Why did you lose your soul?"
Wei Xuan immediately came back to his senses, and said with a smile, "Father, you don't know that the show in Mr. Song's mansion is very interesting. Let my son fully understand what the phrase 'the most poisonous woman's heart' really means."
Wei Lingheng raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"
Wei Xuan always showed intimacy in front of his father, chatting as usual, and shared everything he saw and heard in the Shangshu Mansion.
"In my opinion, there must be something wrong with Mrs. Shangshu. It would be strange enough to hide a man under the willow tree. The way my son sees her is definitely not the way he should be worried about his daughter!"
These words flashed across Wei Lingheng's mind, but he smiled. It reminded him that his son was always curious about the family background of the parents in other people's houses. He thought that when he was old, it was time to start a house and build teeth and choose a concubine.
Maybe it was because of thinking day by day and dreaming at night. At night, when Wei Lingheng was drowsy, he had a strange dream.
In the dream, he was standing in front of a rockery in a certain mansion, first he heard two servants whispering, then the servants left, and he heard a burst of crying from behind the rockery.
People in the palace, not to mention hiding and crying after being wronged, even a few died, he was not interested. But in the dream, he couldn't help himself, and somehow he found the source of the crying.
A thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl squatted in a small black hole in the rockery, sobbing softly.
He heard himself ask, "What's wrong with you?"
Maybe it was his voice that startled her, she stopped crying all of a sudden, raised her teardrop eyes, and glared at him involuntarily: "Who are you, why do you care about me?!" After finishing speaking She lowered her head and moved her hands.
Only then did he see clearly that there was a dead gray cat lying in the dark hole. She would pet the dead cat, stroke and stroke, move its whiskers, and scratch its jaw, as if it were still alive.
He couldn't help but think of what the two servants said in front of them.
"Second Miss is really showing off today! A piece of pipa "Broken Array" shocked the master who taught her, she is no worse than Eldest Miss."
"It's not just that she's not worse than her. I'm afraid the eldest lady is also incomparable. You haven't seen the reaction of the madam. I heard that the eldest maid of the madam went to the residence of the second miss, and the cat raised by the second miss died!"
"It turns out that you are the second lady who died of the cat." He said.
She made no reply.
He saw how sad she was, so he softened his tone: "The law of the jungle is the way of the world. When you have the ability to protect it, just raise another one. Don't be sad."
"Who is sad?" She raised her chin and glanced at him, only sneered, "It's the cat's death and not me, it's okay!"
He was startled, but saw the teardrops still hanging on her eyelashes. The smile is cold, and the sadness in the eyes has not dissipated. At her age, when she can't lie, she just wants to lie to him. Women in the palace have always been soft-spoken and hide their knives in their smiles. Her mouth is unforgiving, but she is like a clam with its mouth closed. The shell is hard, and once you pry it in, it will be soft.
Unknowingly, his eyebrows softened.
She frowned, "Who are you?"
Of course he was the present day, but before he could figure out who he was, he heard the "self" in the dream say: "I am a knight-errant, and I flew over your house today. If you are crying, stop and take a look."
"Warrior?" Her eyes lit up, as if she was thinking of something, and she pretended to be reserved, "It doesn't look like it. If you can show your skills, I will believe you."
"Oh?" He laughed in his heart.
He clearly had a face that couldn't hide what was on his mind, and said everything for her. What a mistake.
"Since you are a hero, you should know the principles of punishing rape and eradicating evil. This cat was killed by the mistress of this family. I can't avenge it, but it can do it by itself." She stroked the gray cat one last time and squeezed it violently. He tightened his hands and made up his mind, "Thank you, hang it in front of the mistress's window, let its eyes face her vanity mirror, and let her take a good look at it!"
The moment her words fell, Wei Lingheng suddenly woke up from his dream!
