Self-cultivation of the noble concubine who eats melons

Chapter 404 400: If you don’t want to live a good life, then it’s okay

She didn't care too much after Song Yunzhao arranged things. Now that the division of labor in the shop was clear, she was the one who controlled the general direction. When the time came, she would just look at the account books and reconcile them.

The weather was getting colder day by day, and Song Yunzhao didn't take Feng Xi out to play very much, but he couldn't help himself from staying in the house and always ran out. Yunzhao followed him in the small garden to the east and came out to clock in and go to work all day long.

It was rare that it rained today. Feng Zhen stared out the window with an unhappy look on his face, his little brows furrowed tightly, which made Yun Zhao laugh.

It's funny that such a young child still has such a bitter and resentful attitude.

Xiangxue walked from outside to the eaves of the corridor holding an umbrella, handed the umbrella to the little palace maid, patted the rain on herself, and then opened the curtain and entered the palace.

Yun Zhao looked at her and smiled, "What are you doing so early in the morning?"

Xiangxue didn't come forward even though her body was cold. She replied three steps away, "I heard that Xu Guiren returned to Huayang Palace early this morning, so I went out for a walk."

"Come back?" Song Yunzhao was quite surprised. She thought why the Queen Mother had to stay for a few more days before coming back. Was this because she had negotiated terms with the Marquis of Wu Xin?

"Yes, I asked someone about it. Xu Guiren looked very bad. His face was even uglier than when he was injured in the fall." Xiangxue said in a low voice.

Song Yunzhao smiled when he heard this. If Xu Mingying could still laugh, that would be great.

"The Queen Mother and An Xiaoyi are also back?"

This guy who braved the wind and rain, if he came back with Xu Mingying, it would be really hard work.

"That's not true. The Queen Mother said that the wind blew her head and made her feel uncomfortable. It would take another day before she could return to Shouci Palace." Xiangxue said.

Song Yunzhao couldn't suppress the ridicule on his face. Judging from the occurrence and outcome of this incident, An Shutong should have participated in the whole process and made suggestions.

Otherwise, with the intelligence of the Queen Mother in the book, she would not be able to think of such a sinister method, and not everyone would be able to use herself as bait.

After all, if you fall halfway up the mountain, you can really kill someone if you are not careful.

"You go back first, change your clothes, have a rest, and drink a bowl of ginger soup to avoid catching a cold." Song Yunzhao looked at Xiangxue and said.

Xiangxue nodded in agreement and turned around to leave.

Song Yunzhao called Zhang Maoquan again, "Is there any movement at the Marquis Wu Xin's Mansion?"

Zhang Maoquan has been watching. Although his master told him to deliver the message to Prince Wu Xin that day, he only told the truth and did not say what the follow-up would be. However, he had already learned to take one step and see three steps while working in front of the emperor, and he even had to think further. .

If you want to get ahead, you have to share your worries with your master.

They must think of what the master thinks of, and they must also think of what is unexpected. They would rather work in vain than not work at all.

No, he could answer the master's questions with just his mouth open.

"There was nothing unusual in Wuxinhou's Mansion in the past two days, but the day before yesterday I heard that there seemed to be a commotion in Wuxinhou's Mansion, and I heard that the commotion was quite serious. However, Wuxinhou's Mansion kept silent, and I couldn't find out the details. I only knew that it was definitely A dispute arose. Yesterday, Young Master Xu San went out with a bruise on the corner of his mouth, and his face was full of depression. He invited a few friends who he visited frequently to go to a restaurant for a day of drinking. Last night, he was carried back, and then the Hou Mansion There is another commotion here, this morning the cronies around Mrs. Wu Xinhou are quietly pawning the shop."

Song Yunzhao was stunned for a moment, "Selling a shop? Do you know why?"

"I haven't found out yet, but the shop I'm selling is in a better location in Mrs. Wu Xinhou's dowry, and the floor is also large."

"This is a rush to use money. Why a rush to use money?" Song Yunzhao couldn't figure it out.

"This servant has been watched, and any news will be passed on." Zhang Maoquan said.Song Yunzhao nodded, "Things are a bit strange. Mrs. Wu Xinhou is in a hurry to sell her dowry shop. She must have encountered something big. It's not that she is selling the property of Wu Xinhou Mansion, which means that this matter must have more to do with Wu Xinhou Mansion than with Hou Wu Xinhou Mansion. Madam has little to do with her, so what could happen?"

Zhang Maoquan doesn't know yet, but he has already kept an eye on that side, and he can find out as long as they move.

"Prince Wu Xin didn't send a message?"

"Not yet."

Song Yunzhao found it very interesting. She had a hunch that this matter was closely related to Xu Anxing. "Go and check if there is anything unusual about the person who drank with Xu Anxing yesterday."

"Yes." Zhang Maoquan accepted the errand and left the palace immediately.

Song Yunzhao also found it funny. After the Wuxinhou Mansion knew that Xu Mingying was plotted by the Queen Mother and An Shutong, they didn't immediately think of a way to save their daughter. Instead, Mrs. Wuxinhou secretly sold a dowry shop.

A shop with a good location and a large area can be sold for a lot of money when resold. Not only is this kind of shop valuable, but the key is that it is difficult to buy. Who would sell a shop with golden eggs, not if they encounter fatal difficulties.

There must be a reason she doesn't know.

If she had no interest before, she would only see Song Qinghan's joke in the fight in Wu Xinhou's house, but now that the Queen Mother has her sights set on Wuxinhou's house, she has to take it seriously.

Song Yunzhao couldn't do anything against the Queen Mother. After all, her status was not false, and she couldn't handle it now.

However, she could overthrow the Gu'en Marquis Mansion first, causing the Queen Mother to lose her natal family, which would be tantamount to breaking one of her arms.

Originally, she only thought that the Gu'enhou Mansion would be more sensible and everyone would stay within their rights, but the incident at the Ling family last time and An Shutong's attack this time had already touched Yun Zhao's bottom line.

If you don’t want to live a good life, then that’s it.

However, how to overthrow it requires careful planning, a just and upright reason, and sufficient evidence.

Just like last time, everyone knows that behind the Tao family is the Gu'enhou Mansion, and behind the Gu'en Hou Mansion is the Queen Mother. They also all know that the Queen Mother dislikes Yun Zhao, but so what?
The Tao family insisted that he had made the decision on his own, and since the Marquis Gu'en and the Queen Mother didn't know about it, there was no way to drag them into the water.

But things are different this time. The Queen Mother and An Shutong are both in the water to see if they can find evidence.

The autumn rain was still falling. After lunch, Yun Zhao played with Feng Xi for a while. When he saw that his eyelids were sticking together, he asked Nanny Qi to hold him for a nap.

Song Yunzhao also had a moment of free time, and couldn't help but think of Feng Yi. He wondered if he had seen her letter and where he was now.

Things outside Yancheng have not yet been settled, and the Queen Mother is also uneasy in the palace. She is only a concubine now, and it is indeed difficult to compete with the Queen Mother on an equal footing. She relies more on Feng Yi's love for her and the fact that she gave birth to Feng Yi. Absolute confidence.

Now she can finally understand why it was necessary to have a son in ancient times.

Hey.

In fact, she does not favor boys over girls at all. On the contrary, because she is a woman, she is more partial to girls.

However, in ancient times, it was really difficult to stand up straight without a son.

If she gave birth to a princess, the Queen Mother would not be as afraid of her as she is now and would not dare to touch her easily.

Song Yunzhao was really annoying the Queen Mother to death. It would be best to use this incident to completely make the Queen Mother stop being a monster.
