Zhangjia Jinzhi

Chapter 146 Involvement
Mrs. Li stared at Li Yao in a daze, her face darkened a bit.

Li Yao knew she had lost her composure, so she hurriedly hid the sternness in her eyes, knelt down in front of Mrs. Li, and said with tears:
"Grandmother loves Yao'er the most, so why is she willing to marry Yao'er far away in Tongzhou? Yao'er doesn't go anywhere...just stays at home and guards her father, brother and grandmother..."

Seeing this, Mrs. Li glanced at Nanny Sun, Nanny Sun understood, stepped forward to help Li Yao, and coaxed softly:

"What is the fourth girl talking about? Naturally, the old lady loves the girl. Our Li family's old house is in Tongzhou, and it is only a hundred miles away from the capital. How can we even marry far away?"

"Besides, this old slave is also considered to be of the same family as this Sun Junshou's family. A few years ago when I returned to Tongzhou Fashion, I met this Sun Gongzi. He looks really handsome and talented!"

"Even if you marry in the future, there will still be relatives of our Li family in Tongzhou, and you will definitely not make the girl feel wronged..."

As soon as Nanny Sun finished speaking, she saw Li Yao's tears streaming down her face, she raised her head and said in a low voice:

"Since it's so good, why didn't Grandma ask Third Sister to marry me? Or in Grandma's heart, there is a difference between me and Third Sister..."

"presumptuous!"

Mrs. Li didn't expect that Li Yao, who has always been polite, would openly contradict her, her complexion completely sank, and she said bluntly:
"Are you accusing me of being partial as a grandmother?"

"Do you know what reputation you have in Beijing now? What family would dare to marry you as a clan wife!"

"Although this Sun family's official position is not high at the moment, I asked someone to inquire about it. His family is also a scholarly family, and Sun Jun's official reputation is very good. In two years, when you reach Ji, Sun Jiaxing may also be able to enter Beijing and compete for an official in Beijing. ..."

"Furthermore, Mr. Sun's aptitude is good. He knew Yuan at a young age, and his future is limitless..."

"grandmother!"

Li Yao cried and interrupted Mrs. Li's words,
"Yao'er is still young, and she doesn't want to get married early... Please grandma don't force Yao'er..."

Mrs. Li took a deep breath, pointed at Li Yao and said tremblingly:
"You said I forced you?..."

"Okay, okay, you really have hard wings! You can't even listen to what grandma says! You go back to your yard now. I will also tell your father clearly that your marriage is up to him. I will never I won't interfere any more!"

"Old lady!"

Xianglan looked at Mrs. Li getting angry, knelt down and kowtowed:

"Old madam. We four girls are young, so we really don't want to leave home. Please forgive me, old madam, don't get angry and hurt your body."

Mrs. Li didn't want to talk more with her, she turned her head to look to the side, and waved to their master and servant, telling them to back off.

Li Yao bit her lip tightly, clenched until the wound in her hand oozes faintly again, seeing Nanny Sun winking at her, she and Xiang Lan bowed to Mrs. Li, and backed out with a pale face.

Nanny Sun glanced at Li Yao's straight back, and said to Mrs. Li worriedly:

"Hey, servant girl, look, these four girls have really changed."

Mrs. Li's complexion was livid with anger, she couldn't help remembering that she also mentioned the marriage with Li Taiwei in the previous month, and that day Li Taiwei was willing to take care of the overall situation and willingly enter the East Palace for the sake of Li family's rise and fall.

With this comparison, Mrs. Li suddenly had mixed feelings in her heart, and sighed:

"I used to see that Sister Yao was sensible, but she was just like her mother in her heart, only caring about the gains and losses in front of her own eyes. After all, it's a difficult situation."

Nanny Sun responded lightly, and added new tea to Mrs. Li...

..........................................

In Qiwu Palace, the queen sat on the phoenix chair, looked at the maid who was kneeling on the floor, and said coldly:

"What? Nothing to say?"

"There are so many palace people in Yaohua Palace, how did no one see how Xu Liangyuan threw himself into the well?"

The palace servant below trembled so badly that Nuonuo didn't dare to make a sound.

The queen rubbed her swollen forehead, looked like Concubine Jin who was sitting silently by the side, frowned and said:

"You are the lord of the first palace of Yaohua Palace, something happened to someone in your palace, what do you say about it?"

Concubine Jin got up and put one hand on the maid's arm, lifted the corner of her skirt and knelt down, saying in panic:

"Empress...it's all due to my concubine's ineffective discipline, which caused such a big disaster..."

"I beg my mother to give me some time, I will definitely give my mother an explanation..."

Concubine Lan raised her eyelids, glanced at Concubine Jin who was kneeling on the ground, and said in a cool tone:
"According to my concubine...there is no one in the concubine Jin's sister's palace. This Pei Zhaoyi tampered with the princess's soup, and it was aimed at the concubine Jin...It is related to Pei Zhaoyi's innocence and Xu Liangyuan's life. Concubine Jin Elder sister should avoid suspicion..."

Concubine Jin suddenly raised her eyes when she heard the sound, glared at Concubine Lan with a stern face, and said coldly:
"Sister Lanfei, what does this mean? You are afraid that I will fail to frame Pei Zhaoyi!"

"It's a matter of human life! Now so many eyes are staring at Ben Gong... How can Ben Gong plant Pei Zhaoyi under the eyes of the empress?"

Lan Fei sneered and said:
"I'm also thinking about Concubine Jin. Now these two incidents happened one after another in my sister's Yaohua Palace. These two people are ordinary and have a lot of complaints with my sister. It's hard to guarantee that others won't say that you are deliberately murdering Sister Jin... Sister Naturally, it is better to pick yourself out..."

Concubine Jin's complexion turned black, and Fang wanted to point at Concubine Lan to start a fight, but was stopped by the empress with a solemn face:
"Okay! Don't say a few words... In front of these palace people, do you still want to show your concubine's face!"

The two of them turned their faces away when they heard the words, and they were sullen and stopped talking.

The queen told Concubine Jin to get up, then turned to look at Concubine Xiao, and said:

"What do you think of this matter... the imperial concubine?"

Concubine Xiao Gui held the tea, thought it over carefully, and then said softly:

"Empress, my concubine thinks what Sister Lan Concubine said is right... Today's incidents happened one after another in Yaohua Palace, and Sister Jin really seems to be incapable of governing. If this matter is handed over to her to investigate, I'm afraid it will be difficult. Everyone speaks calmly..."

"Concubine Xiao! You!..."

Concubine Jin glared fiercely at Concubine Xiao Gui, but was gouged out by the empress in public, she clenched her fingertips and dared not make a sound.

Concubine Xiao Gui looked at Concubine Jin, who was a little less imposing, and continued:
"But if this matter is handed over to the concubine next to me, I'm afraid Jinfei's younger sister will also be called Qu... According to my concubine, the empress may as well hand over this case to Dali Temple for a thorough investigation, and it will be considered as a benefit to both parties." Confession..."

As soon as these words came out, Concubine Jin frowned...

The daughter of Dali Temple Qing Changhai's concubine has been engaged to the eldest prince, and her friendship with Duanjun Prince's Mansion for many years has finally created a rift... If this matter is handed over to Dali Temple, it will probably be against her!
"The Queen Mother..."

"Report to Empress Empress, Empress Xian has arrived."

Concubine Jin was about to speak when she was interrupted by the voice of the servant from outside.

"Concubine Xian is here?"

The queen was stunned for a moment, and said:
"Please come in..."
