"Hey, this sixth lady is also a poor person."
Among the crowd, I don't know which lady couldn't help it and sighed quietly.
"It's really pitiful. The legitimate daughter is worse than a servant. Looking at the clothes she wears, she doesn't even know if she has enough to eat."
"The Gu family has good means, but they still have to... pitiful, pitiful."
When everyone saw Princess Huayang's livid face, they didn't dare to say anything further and walked away in silence.
"Wait!"
Zhao Jingyan, who was a few feet away, suddenly made a sound, folded her fan and called out the three of them, Granny Tan.
"Let her go."
Qingwan frowned slightly, covering her face with her hair, and glanced at King Shou lightly. What does this guy want to do? Don't ruin my good deeds.
"Your Majesty, the princess has an order, and I dare not disobey it." Aunt Tan said confidently.
Zhao Jingyan suddenly laughed loudly, making everyone at a loss.
"Ali, last time there was a maid next to my father who disobeyed my order in public. What was the result?"
Ah Li took a step forward and said loudly: "My ears and nose were cut off, my throat was hoarse, and I fed it to the dogs."
As soon as these words came out, the noble ladies exclaimed.
Zhao Jingyan chuckled: "Do you want to try it?"
Grandma Tan and the two women were so frightened that their legs weakened and they fell to their knees, their faces turning pale instantly.
Yueniang and Chunni hurriedly stepped forward to support the young lady and pulled out the cloth that was stuffed into her mouth, with distress in their eyes.
Zhao Jingyan lowered her head, trying to get a clear look at the appearance of Miss Six.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Qingguan broke free from Yueniang and Chunni's hands and rushed forward.
Zhao Jingyan was so frightened that she stepped back, feeling frightened in her heart. She quickly dodged behind A Li, waved her hand and said: "Help Miss Sixth to go back, so that you can serve her well. No one is allowed to embarrass you."
A brief storm dissipated like clouds of smoke.
Princess Huayang was chatting and laughing with Prince Shou, as if trying to cover up the unhappiness just now.
Seeing the tense scene just now, the girls suddenly stopped and dispersed with meaningful smiles. It seems that this Gu's house is not like the Shili family in the rumors, and the filth and filth inside is no less than that of other houses.
The Princess of Huayang relied on her natal family to abuse the orphan girl left by the Qian family. No wonder she couldn't even give birth to a son after five years of marriage. She must have suffered retribution.
Alas, it's a pity for the sixth lady of the Gu family... But the longevity king seems to be caring and sympathetic.
"Miss, you are too brave. What should I do if anything happens?" Yueniang complained while combing the lady's hair.
Yueniang's worries are not unreasonable.
If the young lady makes a fuss today, there will be rumors in Suzhou Mansion tomorrow. This princess has a habit of bullying the weak and fearing the strong. King Shou cannot afford to offend her, so he will settle accounts with the young lady. What should I do
Qingguan smiled lightly and said: "It's time for everyone to see what kind of Gu family is covered under this brocade quilt. Don't be afraid, Yue Niang, I have my own sense of proportion. I'm just wondering about something?"
"Miss, what's going on?" Chunni came in with some water.
Qingguan glanced at her lightly: "I'm wondering why the dignified longevity king would speak for a madman?"
Zhao Jingyan was as confused as Qingwan at this time.
It is said that he is not an impulsive person, and he never likes to meddle in other people's business. Why did he feel impulsive in his heart when he saw this scene today.
Zhao Jingyan leaned on the railing and looked into the distance, with a hint of deep meaning in her eyes.
"Master, we have thoroughly investigated and found out that apart from the Gu family, there is no Doctor Jin among all the girls in the Liu and Zhang families."
Zhao Jingyan knocked the folding fan on the railing for a long time and said, "So, this person is hiding in the Gu Mansion?"
"Nine times out of ten." A Li nodded.
"How many girls are there in the Gu family who haven't even had haircuts yet?"
"Master Gu, there are a total of seventeen girls in the Gu family who have not yet had hairpins. There are four of them in Master Gu's room."
"Go and check quickly, one by one."
Zhao Jingyan opened the fan with a snap, and a light flashed on her face.
The smaller the scope, the closer we get to the truth of the matter. It seemed that he would be able to find out in a few days whether the face under the mask was stunningly beautiful or ugly.
Qingguan didn't know that at this time, Zhao Jingyan had set his sights on the inner house of Gu Mansion.
She took off her clothes, and four bruises were clearly visible on her two jade-like arms.
Chunni took the ointment and gently applied it on it. She gritted her teeth and said, "Two fat women, don't let me meet them next time. If I do, I will stone them to death."
Qingguan was about to speak when he saw the little maid running in panting: "Miss, the princess is coming here with many people."
Qingguan thought slightly and said, "Who did she bring with her?"
"It seems, it seems... Oh, I didn't see it clearly. I'll go explore again."
The little maid ran away in a flash, Chunni said worriedly: "Miss, could it be that the Queen is settling accounts?"
"No, King Shou is still in the palace and King Xian is on the way. At this time, they dare not touch me."
Qingguan said firmly.
Today's commotion is a temporary one, but it is not meaningless.
After five years of dormancy, she not only acquired amazing medical skills, Qingfeng Tang has established a firm foothold in South Zhili, and has begun its layout in North Zhili.
It's time to take action.
King Shou's two-year appointment would only involve fighting in from the outside; but what she wanted to do was to fight out from the inside. If both forces were used at the same time, Gu Mansion would definitely be defeated.
Qingguan narrowed her eyes. She had waited long enough in five years.
"Miss, miss, the princess ordered people to build a wall over there." The little maid left and came back.
Qingguan's face was slightly happy: "Quick, help me go and have a look."
On the only bluestone road leading to the backyard, three or five young men and six or seven roughnecks were building the wall from bottom to top with bricks and tiles.
The princess in brocade clothes raised her head high and cursed angrily: "Those with no eyesight, if you don't hurry up, get out of here if you can't fix it within an hour."
Grandma Tan was fanning herself and saying something comforting.
Qingguan hid in the dark, looked at the two of them leisurely, and said with crooked eyebrows: "Okay, now our courtyard is quiet. Look, there are benefits to making trouble."
Chunni smiled happily and said: "In this way, I no longer have to look in all directions and listen to all directions."
"That's right!"
Qingguan smiled even more, but there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.
Taking advantage of today's incident, the princess blocked the road. Obviously she was afraid that she, a lunatic, would talk nonsense, but secretly she wanted to trap her until the wise king arrived so that she could be cleaned and sent to bed. .
What a good calculation. Qing Guan waved her sleeves and smiled.
"Miss!"
Yueniang came over with two leaves on her head and handed over the note in her hand: "Miss, the Jinling Cao family has arrived in Suzhou."
"Great. Send the message. I'll be there as soon as it gets dark tonight."
Nanny Tan helped the princess lie down on Concubine Xiang's couch and stuffed a gold-threaded python pillow behind her back.
Wu Yanling followed a few steps and said, "Mother blocked the road to the yard. If father blames me..."
The princess waved her hands tiredly: "I can't care less. If this fool makes such a fuss again, everyone in Suzhou Prefecture will think that Qian's death was a cruel act by your mother and me. Oops, My heart is pounding..."
Wu Yanling pouted disapprovingly and muttered: "What does this have to do with mother? That fool's mother sought death on her own, and we didn't force her to die."
"What do you, a kid, know?"
The princess caressed her chest and said angrily: "I am a widow whose man has died. I should keep my integrity, but I am married again. Others will think that I am attracted to the second master, so I forced Mrs. Qian to die."
"It's obviously them who insisted on coming to the door." Wu Yanling's face turned red.
Hua Yang suddenly had a head as big as an ox, and he leaned on the couch weakly, holding his forehead. Regret! Regret!
Grandma Tan took the opportunity to drop eye drops and said, "It's all that Zhao's fault. If she hadn't been clamoring to see Miss Six, Miss Six wouldn't have run out."
"That damn bitch, no wonder she can't even control the concubines in the house. She is really a stupid disaster. That's all, that's all. Let's avoid associating with these low-class families in the future."
As soon as he finished speaking, a person who looked like a daughter-in-law opened the curtain and came in.
"Go back to the princess, sir, my wife asked what happened to that wall?"
"The old immortal has really good ears."
Princess Huayang suddenly sat up and said sternly: "It's just me who said it. The sixth lady is shameless and has ruined the reputation of the Gu family. From now on, she must be strictly guarded and cannot be released at will. Please rest assured, sir and madam, there should be We will never skimp on food, clothing, housing and transportation.”
Mrs. Wei served tea to Gu Yanqi and said, "Sir, she also called these six girls. Something happened and the road was blocked. What if this spreads outside?"
Gu Yanqi immediately put the tea cup on the table, "I'm a woman, what do you know? Your daughter-in-law will never have such a simple mind. She is just taking advantage of the situation."
"What do you mean, sir?"
"No one from the inner court can leave, and no one from the outside can hear. The courtyard has become an isolated island, and she can do whatever she wants to the Sixth Girl. When the virtuous king comes, the Sixth Girl will be trapped in a jar, with nowhere to escape."
"That was the idea."
Wei was shocked and thought about the man's thoughts, "Could it be that I just let her do whatever she wants? After all, that girl is our granddaughter. Although she is a fool, she can't... Oh, I really can't bear it."
"A woman's kindness!"
Gu Yanqi said displeasedly: "If you had the princess's determination to kill, you wouldn't be crushed by her. A useless granddaughter, in exchange for a way out for the Gu family in the future, which one is more important?"
"But if the wise king thinks that the girl is a fool and blames her, how should we explain it?"
Gu Yanqi glanced sideways at Mrs. Wei and sneered: "You don't understand the heart of a man. I have tasted a lot of delicacies from the mountains and the sea, and occasionally I want to eat a few bites of wild vegetables to taste. I see that girl is dressed up and looks very delicious. When the time comes Give her a few soothing medicines, and the wise king won’t care if she’s crazy or stupid after tasting it, maybe this one will be her best!”
Hearing this, Mrs. Wei turned around and frowned, but did not dare to persuade her.
