Mysterious Tang Dynasty

Chapter 470 Burden
Concubine Pei's confidant attendant opened the small bundle, checked it carefully, and naturally the secret letter in the interlayer was not hidden.

There was nothing out of the ordinary in the letter.

The letter on the outside was in Jinqiao's tone to report to his parents and relatives that he was safe and well, saying that he was doing well in the village with the eldest lady, and now everything is going well when he returns to the mansion, but it is not convenient for him to leave the back house for the time being. There is no way to visit my parents, I hope my parents will forgive me.The needlework she sent over was made for her parents by herself, and the few silver chains she had saved up recently were handed over to her mother for safekeeping.If the family needs money, don't save it, and so on.

In the secret letter, a few more words were added, it was Li Chujun's nanny who took the opportunity to warn Jinqiao's family and friends, don't think that now that the Yang family daughter is no longer in charge of the Sui Palace, they can turn their faces and deny anyone.Back then, the Yang family had shown great kindness to them. If they dared to repay their kindness with revenge, the Yang family would not dare to offend Sui Wang's family, so why not use them as slaves? !They were not clean at first, and they were sure to catch the pigtails.Therefore, to be obedient and continue to be loyal to the little master is the way to protect yourself, and so on.

Concubine Pei glanced at the secret letter for a few times, her expression remained unchanged, she only smiled gently and said to Li Lijun: "Si Niangzi has a heart, it's hard for you to think of sending these forbidden things to me. But if The eldest lady knows, I am afraid she will be unhappy."

Li Lijun said: "If the concubine Si is willing to keep the secret for me, how can the elder sister know? If she really knows and annoys me from then on, I can take this opportunity to get rid of this thankless job. My eldest sister and I have another Not really good sisters, but because of Aye's face, they pretended to be harmonious. It doesn't matter if you pretend to be in front of others, but for this pretended sisterhood, you have to pass things privately for the eldest sister, in case you get offended What about the disaster? I don't want to be involved in her affairs. "

Princess Pei laughed when she heard that, and ordered her attendants to pack the burden as it was, and then handed it back to Shi Qing who was beside Li Lijun: "Don't worry, Si Niangzi, just send this burden to the maid according to what the eldest lady said. In the hands of my aunt, she won't be suspicious, and the eldest lady won't hear anything she shouldn't know."

This is Princess Pei's promise.Li Lijun nodded to signal Shi Qing to accept the burden, and discussed with Princess Pei: "If you continue to stay in the palace, you will inevitably have to deal with some people, and you may be involved in messy things at any time, it's too bad. I want to go back to Ziwei Mountain House to recuperate, okay? It's close to Zhongnan Mountain, and there are several famous temples and grand temples, Princess Si just think I'm going to pray for Aye."

Why is Princess Pei willing to let people go?Now, although the stepchildren have all been taken back to the Sui Palace, only Li Jianrang and Li Lijun are willing to live in harmony with her, and the others only know to make trouble for her.Although she doesn't need to worry about the gossip from the Zheng family now, she also hopes that she can continue to have a good reputation as a virtuous person, so that she can win a good marriage for her two children.At least let outsiders know that her stepmother is doing a good job.

She had originally planned to hold a banquet at the Sui Prince's Mansion when her stepchildren were filial piety, and invite the royal family to attend the meeting, and then let the stepchildren cooperate with her and present a harmonious appearance in front of others.In this way, the royal relatives of the clan will praise her for doing a good job as a stepmother.

At least he did better than his predecessor Chen, and he had a higher evaluation than his predecessor Dayang.

However, now that Li Dai was injured and recuperated, and Li Chujun and his brother refused to stop after being taken back to the mansion, this plan had to be postponed, but Princess Pei did not intend to cancel it, so it is impossible to let Li Lijun go now.Now she has also figured out the temper of this little stepdaughter, and knows that the other party is a shy one.If you really want to put him back in the mountains now, when she finds a reason to call him back, the other party is either sick or injured, and there is always a reason for refusing to come back. At that time, does she have to rely on Li Jianrang to cooperate with her in acting? what?

Even if Li Chujun and Li Yanjun at that time were proved to have bad intentions and disrespect to their stepmother, two or three Li Dai's children should be filial sons and daughters to prove that the stepmother, Princess Pei, is not a bad-hearted stepmother, otherwise others will just say She has a sweet face and a bitter heart, she only knows how to pretend to be a good person.

Concubine Pei thought that she was about to marry Ji's daughter Yuchai, so she couldn't accept any flaws in her reputation, so she didn't answer Li Lijun's words at all, and just smiled vaguely: "Don't worry, I'm in the house, and I can still let Si Niangzi eat it." Can it be a loss? If the fourth lady wants to pray for the heir king, there are many famous temples and temples in Chang'an City. When the little lady is going out, just say hello to the front. No matter how much sesame oil you spend in the temple, you can report it to the accountant. After all, this is all money spent for the successor king!"

Li Lijun took a few glances at her and knew that she would not be allowed to leave home from her, and he didn't bother to think deeply about the reason why she stopped him. He went back to the yard by himself.

Not long after, Shi Qing came back after running errands, his face was still very unhappy.She complained to Erhong, Qiuxiang, and the others: "That servant woman is so troublesome! Our little lady kindly gave something to the eldest lady, but she seemed to be taking a thief. She grabbed me and questioned me for a long time, and almost asked me if I stole it. I took the belongings in the package. I told her to just confront the eldest lady and Jinqiao to see if I would be so kind to help them next time, so she shut up."

Erhong frowned and said: "Although I don't know what this servant thinks, but Shi Qing was ordered by the young lady to deliver things. She said that, it is an offense to the young lady. , no one cares about etiquette with her, now it's not what it used to be, and she should be taught what the rules are."

Qiuxiang thought that the most important thing was to take the opportunity to get rid of the entanglement of the eldest lady: "The little lady helped her sister once, but she didn't say a good word. It was said that the relatives of Jin Qiao's family were rude. This lawsuit went to the eldest lady. Come on, what face does the eldest lady have to ask the little lady to help?"

When Erhong and Shi Qing heard it, they both felt it was reasonable.Although there was nothing taboo in Li Chujun's smuggled luggage this time, after all, this was the first time she passed things outside the West Court after returning to the Sui Palace. What if she was just testing the waters?What if she wants to send some important things out next time?Whoever gets involved in this kind of thing will be a big trouble, my little lady is living a good life, why bother to get involved?Once something happens, the little lady Zongshi has great magic tricks, but she can't use them on her own family members!

The three girls were chattering, and after a while, Nanny Cui and Mrs. Shao who heard the news also joined the discussion.

Li Lijun did not participate in the discussion, she just took out a small bronze mirror and a small paper crane that looked rather old and inconspicuous, and made some arrangements on the small paper crane.When it was dark, she changed into black clothes, quietly sneaked into the soil, went straight to Yang Guozhong's mansion in Xuanyangfang, and took a peek at the main house.

Not seen for a few days, Yang Guozhong is now as thin as a living skeleton, and his pale face is not much different from that of a dead person.But the strange thing is, whether he himself, his wife and children, even the personal attendants around him, all of them were red-faced, and happily said that your lord is about to recover, and they are going to prepare a banquet to celebrate!
Li Lijun didn't know for a while whether he should sympathize with Yang Guozhong.Everyone said that his illness was cured, but who would really treat him?It seems that he really won't live for a few days.

She hid the little paper crane in an inconspicuous place in Yang Guozhong's courtyard, and covered it up with a concealment talisman, before she quickly fled away.

Next, she just needs to wait for the news of Yang Guozhong's death.
