Zhou Wanyi said with a bit of aggrieved meaning in her voice: "Sister-in-law Qi complained that I was ignorant, and asked her for things with a shy face, and said that the eighth brother is really a silver-like pewter tip. If you really have the ability, you should earn a house yourself, why bother to ask her for it. After hearing this, I knew there was no room for maneuver, and what Seventh Sister-in-Law said was really ugly, and I was very ashamed , I cried for a long time when I went back, but I didn’t dare to tell the prince, the only one who can make decisions for me now is you, my concubine.”
"How dare she say that?" Shupin clenched her fists tightly, the veins on her forehead were exposed.
"Isn't that right, my daughter-in-law is very angry. Thinking about it, maybe the concubine mother has always been more partial to the Eighth Prince, and the seventh sister-in-law is... dissatisfied with us." Zhou Wanyi's tone was a little aggrieved.
Concubine Shu was just displeased before, but now she heard that Fenghuang blatantly mocked her beloved youngest son, she couldn't help raising her brows, she immediately went to the Seventh Prince's Mansion to ask her for clarification.
"Mother Concubine, Mother Concubine, don't be angry, listen to your daughter-in-law first." Zhou Wanyi hastily pulled Concubine Shu back, if Concubine Shu went to find Fenghuang aggressively, wouldn't all her plans be in vain
"Huh? What else is there?" Shupin said coldly.
Zhou Wanyi helped her to sit down with an apologetic face, and said: "It's all the daughter-in-law's fault, saying these things made the concubine mother unhappy. Concubine mother, don't be angry, it's important to take care of your body."
Seeing that she was so sensible, Shupin eased her face. She patted Zhou Wanyi's hands and said in a deep voice, "I have to solve this matter. I can't make her too proud. What can you do?" ,tell me the story."
Zhou Wanyi had been thinking about it for a long time, but at this time she pretended to think for a long time, and then said hesitantly: "My son thinks, mother and concubine should come forward. I went to the Seventh Prince's Mansion earlier and was rejected by Seventh Sister-in-Law. It's not easy to go again. Erchen dared to ask mother and concubine to speak to Qisao on Erchen's behalf, and he didn't need to mention the prince's affairs. He just said that mother and concubine wanted a house, and Qisao would not dare to refuse to obey if she wanted to come. .”
If Concubine Shu and Fenghuang wanted the house, it was impossible for Fenghuang not to give it to her. When Concubine Shu gave it to her, she would give it to her younger brother. If Concubine Shu asked about it afterwards, she would say what Yang Tingfeng meant, but Concubine Shu would not say What, the corner of Zhou Wanyi's mouth curled up into a smile, suddenly as if she was afraid of being discovered, Zhou Wanyi suppressed the smile on her face, and looked at Concubine Shu nervously.
Concubine Shu felt that what she said was reasonable, so she agreed, and ordered Zhou Wanyi to go back to the mansion first, and then give her news when things became clear. Zhou Wanyi was waiting for this sentence, and returned to the Eighth Prince's Mansion after a few words of pretense.
In the afternoon, Concubine Shu personally took the sedan chair to the Seventh Prince's Mansion. Fenghuang was lying comfortably on the bed when Yinhuan came in and whispered: "Princess, Concubine Shu is here."
Fenghuang's painful forehead twitched. This Concubine Shu had never been here when Yang Tingjing was seriously ill. There was absolutely nothing good about it. Fenghuang blurted out: "Go and tell Concubine Shu about my health. Uncomfortable, unable to make customers, you can deal with her casually."
"Princess..." Yinhuan looked at Fenghuang eagerly. Under Yinhuan's attention, Fenghuang finally lost the battle and went to the front hall reluctantly.
"Daughter-in-law pays respects to Concubine Mother." Fenghuang said politely, seeing Concubine Shu's leisurely appearance, he couldn't help asking: "Is there any business for Concubine Mother to come this time?"
"I can't come if I have nothing to do?" Concubine Shu was a little displeased. Concubine Feng just smiled and didn't say anything. There is indeed something wrong with the palace this time."
"Mother and Concubine, please tell me." Fenghuang said lightly.
Concubine Shu took the lid of the cup and lightly brushed the unfurled leaves in the tea, raised her eyelids and said, "I've been a little tired from staying in the palace these days, so I want to find a garden outside the palace so that I can come out in my spare time." Looking around, I couldn't find anything good for a while, and suddenly remembered that Tingjing had been given three houses a few days ago, so I came to beg you to see if I could give up one with my old lady."
Fenghuang thought about the meaning of her words, and immediately understood that Shupin didn't want any other gardens for no reason, and it must be because of Zhou Wanyi that she came to talk to herself now. .
Fenghuang sneered in his heart, but on the face he looked obedient and humble, and said softly: "Mother concubine said the word 'begging', which really offended my son and minister. In fact, even if mother and concubine didn't say it, my son and servant had already planned to honor the house. For the concubine mother, it's just that there was a disturbance yesterday that made my son feel very uncomfortable, so I haven't had time to tell the concubine mother about it."
Seeing Fenghuang and Zhou Wanyi sticking to each other, Concubine Shu felt suspicious, frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"
Fenghuang sighed, and said with a heartbroken expression: "The eighth younger siblings have been coming to the mansion these days to look for Erchen, saying that her natal brothers are about to get married and need a new house to marry a bride, so they hope that Erchen will give her a house. It's nothing at all, the prince and the eighth brother have always been brothers and sisters, and the eighth brother's affairs are naturally helpful, but I have already decided to honor this house to you, so how can I give it to others? So I will tell the matter Listening to her, the eighth younger siblings were a little unhappy when they heard the words, and they argued with Erchen yesterday, and Erchen didn't have anything to worry about, but I don't know if the younger siblings have lost their anger now."
When Concubine Shu heard that there was another reason, she asked suspiciously: "You said Wanyi's younger brother is going to get married? Need a new house?"
Fenghuang nodded, with a serious face, and said extremely sincerely: "Yes, the eighth brother and sister originally said that they wanted to invite us to a wedding drink, but yesterday I was annoyed, and I don't know whether to invite us or not."
At this time, Concubine Shu realized that Zhou Wanyi might have coaxed herself and deliberately used her as a weapon. She was very angry in her heart, and slapped the table outside the wall and said angrily: "It turned out to be to marry my natal brother. But she told me that yesterday I was scolded by you."
Fenghuang pretended to be surprised and said: "Mother Concubine, what do you mean, the eighth sibling has already looked for you? I may have said something harsh yesterday, and I was afraid that she would annoy me, but now it seems that she hates me so much This is the case, to sue me in front of you, concubine mother..."
Concubine Shu still had doubts in her heart, so she hastily comforted Fenghuang with a few words, and went back to the palace to ask someone to investigate Zhou Wanyi's family carefully. Concubine Shu immediately flew into a rage, and hurriedly declared Zhou Wan's intention to enter the palace.
Zhou Wan rushed into the palace excitedly, thinking that Concubine Shu had already solved this important matter for her, and even brought some bonus gifts to thank her. As soon as she entered the bedroom, she happily asked Concubine Shu how it was going. Seeing her sneer, Zhou Wanyi smiled awkwardly, not knowing why Concubine Shu suddenly changed her attitude.
Concubine Shu got angry when she saw her appearance, and she didn't want to talk to her, so she said coldly: "For your younger brother's marriage, you, a sister, are very troublesome." Then she went into the inner room by herself, and ignored her she.
Zhou Wan stood there in embarrassment, and it took a long time to understand what Concubine Shu meant. Knowing that she knew everything, she couldn't help but her face burned, and she went back to the mansion dejectedly.
