Zhangjia Jinzhi

Chapter 79
Mrs. Li has been a little tired these days, and she woke up half an hour later than usual today.

After Hongzhu waited for her to wash and wash, Nanny Sun came in with a tense expression and whispered a few words in Mrs. Li's ear. Mrs. Li's face suddenly darkened, she was speechless in surprise:

"How could this be?"

Nanny Sun said to Mrs. Li with a troubled expression:

"Miss Xue Biao is kneeling in the inner hall right now. It has been an hour."

Mrs. Li's face was black and blue, she slapped the table bitterly, and said:
"It's lucky that she did such absurd things! She still has the face to ask me to come to me! I was so blind that I fell in love with the Xue family! Thank goodness I didn't ask Sanlang to carry me in. If it gets out, Call him a dignified prime minister, how can he have the face to gain a foothold in the court?"

Grandma Sun saw that Mrs. Li had cursed herself early in the morning, and hurriedly said:

"Old lady calm down!"

"Although this matter did not happen to our long room at the moment, it is related to the face of the Xiangfu. The old lady sees how to deal with it? Tomorrow, the Xue family will go to Beijing. If someone makes a fuss at this time, I'm afraid Our second master's official reputation is hard to guarantee."

Mrs. Li's heart sank, she opened her mouth and asked:
"What did the second room say? Where's Hui Niang? This is a matter of her inner courtyard, what does she think?"

Grandma Sun sighed and said:
"Just now, the servants asked someone to go to the Qiutang courtyard to inquire. Mother Qin said that the second master lost his temper yesterday and refused to let Miss Xue Biao in.
"The second lady didn't sleep all night. She was worried that this incident would not only lose the face of the prime minister, but also make it difficult for the second master to be a man in the future. So she wanted to knock out her teeth and swallow her blood. Mother Qin persuaded her all night, and this time The second wife is willing to sleep."

Mrs. Li's eyes showed distress:

"Huiniang is really a virtuous person, this matter really embarrasses her."

Nanny Sun bowed and nodded in agreement.

"Come on, let's go out and have a look. I want to see what this shameless person can say when he begs me!"

"If she really doesn't know what to do, I will give up my face and ask the Xue family to take her away! I must not make it difficult for Hui Niang in the future!"

Nanny Sun whispered a few words of persuasion, and then helped Mrs. Li out of the bedroom.

Mrs. Xue knelt down for an hour, feeling a little unbearable, but still trying her best to maintain a submissive appearance.Seeing Mrs. Li coming out of the back room, she hurriedly kowtowed to Mrs. Li with tears in her eyes, screaming that she was wronged.

Mrs. Li asked Hong Zhuping to retreat, and coldly looked at the well-organized Mrs. Xue, with a bit of hostility in her eyes, and said:

"What are you calling injustice? There were so many people present yesterday, how can you still blame you? I didn't know you could be so disregarded of face!"

With tears in her eyes, Xue said pitifully:

"Back to the old lady, the concubine has been wronged, even if the concubine has a hundred guts, she would not dare to act like this!"

Mrs. Li sat down and motioned for her to continue.

Xue kowtowed again and said:

"I made a mess with the second master that day, and the second wife had a heart knot, and the second master hadn't returned to the mansion for many days. The concubine knew that she had committed a serious crime, so she wanted to have a word with the second master. I beg your forgiveness."

"The concubine just entered the study, and met the second son. I couldn't help but say that I misunderstood the concubine's intentions. The concubine and the concubine are really hard to argue with."

After saying that, Xue covered her face and wept bitterly, sobbing:
"The madam has already promoted the lowly concubine the day before yesterday, how dare the lowly concubine have any unreasonable thoughts at this time? I hope the old lady will see clearly and make the decision for the lowly concubine."

Hearing this, Mrs. Li couldn't help but look at Nanny Sun with some hesitation in her eyes.

There is some truth in what Mrs. Xue said. Since Mrs. Bai accepted her to be a noble concubine, seeing that someone from the Xue family will come to settle the marriage tomorrow, Mrs. Xue still has no dissatisfaction. Is this a joke?

Logically speaking, it shouldn't be.
Hearing this, Mrs. Li's complexion softened a bit, but if this matter was true as Xue said, how could Li Qin be so angry?
Mrs. Li was a little uncertain.

Hongzhu quietly glanced at Mrs. Li, stepped forward and said:
"Old madam. It's not easy to ask the second madam to ask about this matter, can the old madam ask the madam to discuss it?"

Mrs. Li's eyes lit up when she heard the words, and she hurriedly said:

"That's fine, you can go to Yunshuiju for yourself and see if Madam has gotten up."

Hongzhu saluted, bowed and left the yard.

Li Taiwei had something on his mind, so he got up early today, and came to Yunshuiju to have breakfast with Zhao He.

When Hongzhu came to invite Zhaohe, she saw Li Taiwei was also there, thinking about it, it was a bit awkward to speak.

Seeing this, Li Taiwei had a sloppy look with Zhaohe, saying that the fourth daughter of the Jin family was going to send a chess record to her at noon yesterday, and now she is going to look for it in Fangfei Garden.

Zhaohe didn't think much, nodded in agreement, and then called Hongzhu in for questioning.

Li Taiwei left Yunshuiju, and took a seat in Langxin Pavilion without going far.

She knew that Hongzhu must have come here because of Xue Shi's affairs last night, she felt a little uneasy, so she said to Dafu:

"Take a few sachets given by Miss Jin Si yesterday to Qiutang Courtyard to see if Biyun is in the north wing, and ask her quietly to see if Mrs. Bai has ordered Mrs. Xue to do anything? If someone asks about it, you just say that I want you to deliver the sachet to the second room."

Dafu responded, turned around and left the spring garden.

Li Taiwei was a little nervous, wondering if Lu Xiao's situation was going well, so she turned around and asked Huayan.

Huayan's expression did not change, she said firmly:

"The princess don't have to worry, since the son agrees, there will be no mistakes."

After hearing this, Li Taiwei replied vaguely twice, feeling a little sour in his heart, is it different for someone in this hand?
"Go to the concierge and keep an eye on it. If Lu Shizi has any reply, you can report it to me in time."

Huayan listened to Li Taiwei's order, and naturally bowed down.

After a while, Zhaohe dressed up and took people out of Yunshuiju.

Li Taiwei watched Tian's mother and her party follow her out of the door in Langxin Pavilion, feeling a little uneasy for some reason.

After about a stick of incense, Dafu trotted all the way over, his face was flushed and his forehead was covered with sweat.

"Princess."

Li Taiwei handed her a cup of tea and said:

"Drink some water and speak slowly. But what did you find out?"

Dafu took the tea bowl, drank it in one gulp, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and said:

"Biyun said that the Second Madam asked Nanny Qin to bring a set of pearl face noodles, and asked Mrs. Xue to pack it up before going to kowtow in front of the old lady."

"Give her a pearl face?"

Li Taiwei tilted his head and looked over, his face was full of surprise.

"Ok!"

Dafu nodded, then frowned and said:
"However. Biyun showed me the brocade box in which the face was placed, and I looked a little familiar, as if I had seen it somewhere before."

Li Taiwei's eyes lit up and asked:
"Think about it carefully, when have you seen Bai's things?"

Dafu sat on the stone bench, thought for a moment, then suddenly slapped his head, got up and said:
"I remember!"

"That day the eldest young mistress asked Baitao to invite the princess to go to the eldest son. I saw Mother Qin from a distance when I was under the Chuihua Gate. She was in a hurry that day and looked very nervous. At that moment, she held such a A brocade box."

After Dafu said this, Li Taiwei remembered it, but unfortunately she was a step too late that day, she only saw the corner of Nanny Qin's clothes, but she didn't see the things in her arms clearly, so she couldn't help thinking about it.

"not good--!"

Li Taiwei stood up suddenly, his eyes panicked:

"Go and invite Rong Zhi! Tell her to come to Hua'an Hall quickly!"
