After dressing as a top-quality old woman, I became the pillar of the whole family

"We are humble and have no way to deliver the letter to the East Palace. Please forgive me, Third Young Master." The mother-in-law's attitude is still gentle, not as impatient as the cook.

"Why can't we help it? If you think about it carefully, His Highness the Crown Prince is so noble. My uncle cannot be arrogant and let His Highness the Crown Prince take care of him. If one day His Highness turns over old scores, none of these things will be settled. ah!"

The man frowned slightly, looking worried.

"Let's see. My uncle has been in the East Palace for a while. There are always times when someone sends a message home. You more or less know one or two people from the palace, don't you? Think of a way to contact your uncle quickly. That’s right. Otherwise, there will be a great disaster in the future, and no one will be able to escape!”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been kind to others. Why does the Third Young Master want to guess His Highness's thoughts like this? Carefully divide the walls and ask people to listen and speak in front of His Highness. Even the Master will not be able to help you!"

"How come you are so lazy and don't listen? It's true that women have long hair and short knowledge, and they don't understand anything! If my uncle is not at home, is it your turn to dominate here? Let me tell you, there is absolutely no such thing. That makes sense!"

"Since the third young master is so worried about the master, why don't you find a way to find out something yourself? We are all servants, but we can't contact people in the East Palace, let alone deliver letters to the master. Third young master, please don't embarrass us."

"you!"

When the man saw that his mother-in-law refused to accept her offer, his face immediately fell.

"You're such a naughty slave, did you do this on purpose? Do you think you can survive on your own if something happens to the Huo family? It's absolutely impossible. You'd better find a way quickly to avoid regrets in the future."

The cook was about to retort, but the mother-in-law stopped her again.

The mother-in-law said calmly: "The third young master has many connections in the capital, so he must have more connections than us. It's just that when the palace servants sent the message, they already said that the master's illness is sudden this time, so it is not appropriate to leave the East Palace for the time being, and he needs to take some time to recuperate. .

"This is also His Highness's exact words. The Third Young Master wants us to question Your Highness's feelings towards the Master. Who can bear His Highness's blame? It is a good thing that the Third Young Master cares about the Master, but don't make it self-defeating because caring will lead to chaos."

"Why don't you listen, mother-in-law? My uncle must be taken out of the East Palace!" the man said eagerly.

The mother-in-law still looked so unhurried, and the man was so angry that he pointed at her and scolded her.

In the end, there was nothing he could do, and the man left angrily.

As soon as the people left, the cook jumped up and scolded: "What are you doing? If you really care about the master, you should be thinking about whether you can go into the East Palace to see the master at this time. What are you talking about here? Who doesn't know what he does? What I’m thinking about is that it’s for my own good, bah!”

The mother-in-law's face darkened, "We all have to cheer up while the master is away from home. Who knows what they will do? If the master is still alive, I wish I could take everything he has as my own."

"Then let me tell Lao Li that before the master comes back, we can just close the door and thank the guests. We can wait until the master comes back to talk about anything else."

"Well, that's how it should be. It's better to be careful."

After that, the cook ran to find the coachman.

Zhang Xiaoying witnessed all this and had a good impression of the servants of the Huo family.

Loyal to protect the Lord, and be measured in everything you do.

It seems that Huo Guangzhi's illness is most likely related to the third young master!

Zhang Xiaoying left the Huo family and soon caught up with the third young master.

The Huo family is a scholarly family, but because of the incident with Huo Guangzhi's ex-wife, Huo Guangzhi separated from the Huo family, moved out alone, and rarely interacted with the family.

This third young master should be the son of eldest brother Huo Guangzhi.

Huo Guangzhi's eldest brother Huo Guangli was just a minor director of the Ministry of Industry. Even this official position was given to Huo Guangli by the emperor for Huo Guangzhi's sake.

Logically speaking, Huo Guangli should have a good relationship with Huo Guangzhi, but in fact, Huo Guangli was not indifferent to Huo Guangzhi, and he had no contact with him on weekdays.

Now Huo Guangli's third son keeps running to Huo Guangzhi, and Huo Guangzhi is sick again, which is really suspicious.

Zhang Xiaoying followed for a while, but Huo San went straight to the brothel!

Zhang Xiaoying: "..."

Today, Zhang Xiaoying is dressed as a man, so it is not out of place to enter a brothel.

It's just that the drunkenness and dreams inside really make Zhang Xiaoying a little unable to accept it, especially when she sees those girls lowering their bodies to please those men who are old enough to be fathers, it makes her even more physically uncomfortable.

Huo San is obviously a frequent visitor to the brothel.

As soon as he arrived, the madam rushed to greet him.

Huo San generously rewarded the old bustard with a piece of silver. The old bustard smiled brightly and immediately called a girl who was familiar with Huo San to accompany him.

Huo San took the girl upstairs and went upstairs.

Huo Guangli has five sons, three daughters, and an aunt in the back house. In addition to his small salary, the dowry brought by the main wife is not very generous. They are not good at making money from money. How can Huo San be so good? Spending a lot of money?

Zhang Xiaoying was about to catch up, but was blocked by the madam: "This man is very unfamiliar. Is this your first time coming back to our place? We have all the girls you want!"

Zhang Xiaoying took out two ingots of silver and stuffed them over her, "I just want to find a place to drink. Is there any private seating upstairs? Invite the girl like you who plays the piano the best! If you like it, I will give you a reward."

After that, Zhang Xiaoying took out Zhang Qianliang's banknote and waved it in front of the madam.

The madam suddenly smiled and personally led Zhang Xiaoying up.

What a coincidence, it's right next door to Huo San.

Zhang Xiaoying listened carefully to what was going on next door, but it turned out that it was just about flirting between men and women.

Zhang Xiaoying: "..."

Zhang Xiaoying drank wine boredly, and listened to the girl's superb piano skills, which made her feel a little more elegant.

After a while, there was another person next door.

Zhang Xiaoying immediately cheered up.

Huo San sent the girl out and talked to the visitor there.

"My uncle was actually left in the East Palace by the Crown Prince. This makes it inconvenient for me. Is there any way you can get him to leave the East Palace? If this continues, I'm afraid the imperial doctor can really save his life. !”

Huo San said to the visitor anxiously.

"No one can change what the prince decided. Do you have the courage to enter the East Palace? If you dare, I have a way!"

"What? Enter the East Palace? Is that a place I can go? The East Palace is heavily guarded. If I'm discovered, wouldn't I be doomed?"

"Wealth can be found in danger. If you don't have the courage, don't expect glory in the rest of your life. If you miss this opportunity, there won't be another one. Think about it carefully."

"Do you have to...can't you let him lie down all the time? He is my uncle after all, I don't dare!"

"Then has he taken care of you all these years? Even after he got the Sacred Heart, he didn't help you. Your father is still just the director of the Ministry of Industry."

"Can……"

"If you don't dare, just pretend it never happened and leave it at that."

Probably because the other party stood up to leave, Huo San became anxious.

"Wait a minute, let me think about it again. I've never done anything like this before, and I'm so scared!"

"If a man doesn't do it for himself, he will be destroyed by heaven and earth. He is so selfish. Why do you think about him at all times? You may not be able to ascend to heaven with him when he becomes prosperous in the future."

Huo San was silent for a long time.

Finally took a swig of a glass of wine.

"You are right, there is no poison and no husband. If you want to blame it, it is my uncle who is selfish and never considers us. If he is willing to help us, our life will be better than now. He himself is better, enjoying the glory and wealth , but they see us having a hard time!”

"That's right. Here are three thousand taels of silver. Don't worry, there will be more when things are done. The girl from the family you want to marry will also be sent to your house."

"really?"

Huo San was overjoyed.

"nature."

"Then what should I do?"

"I'll let someone tell you when the time comes. Okay, I have other things to do. You can play with it first and have a few drinks another day when you have time."

"Okay, okay, then walk slowly." Huo San sent the person out of the room.

He took out the three thousand taels of silver notes and counted them again.

This was the first time he saw so much money, and his back became stiff.

From now on, you no longer need to look at the faces of those foxy friends. He, Huo San, is rich!

As soon as the person next door left, Zhang Xiaoying also left.

However, the other party did not go through the main entrance, but went down another staircase.

Zhang Xiaoying raised her eyebrows slightly.

She didn't see the other person's true face clearly, but she remembered his figure and voice.

And the faint breath of the other person when passing by.

Zhang Xiaoying walked out of the brothel and turned into a dark alley while no one was paying attention. Then she jumped up on the tiles and looked at the back door of the brothel from a height.

Not long after, a low-key carriage drove out.

Zhang Xiaoying followed the carriage quietly, and then discovered that the carriage went to the eldest prince's mansion.

Zhang Xiaoying thought of Fu Yuhui.

The last time she came to the capital, she met Fu Yuhui. At that time, she didn't have a good impression of the eldest prince.

Pretend to be a gentleman, as if he doesn't fight for anything, but in fact...

Zhang Xiaoying sneaked into the eldest prince's mansion.

It was only one of Fu Yuhui's staff who went to see Huo San.

He did not go to see Fu Yuhui.

As for Fu Yuhui at this time, he was also in the concubine's courtyard, and Zhang Xiaoying was not interested in listening to other people's live broadcasts.

It was enough to know that the person who bribed Huo San was the eldest prince.

She withdrew from the eldest prince's residence and returned to Xu's residence.

Xu Qiaoqiao and Liu Fang were both worried about her when she didn't come back too late.

"Is something going to happen to my mother? She usually doesn't come back so late. What happened today?" Xu Qiaoqiao was walking around in the yard, and it was hard to disturb Lu's house next door.

Liu Fang comforted her: "Your mother is very capable. Nothing will happen to her. Don't worry."

"But it's so late..."

"Why don't you go to bed first? I'll stay here and call you when your mother comes back."

"How can I sleep?"

The capital was a strange and awe-inspiring place for Xu Qiaoqiao.

Only when Zhang Xiaoying is here can she feel at ease.

Zhang Xiaoying was not around, so she was on tenterhooks.

"What can happen to me?" Zhang Xiaoying heard the conversation between the two before she even entered the door, and took over Xu Qiaoqiao's words angrily, "If something happens to me, you won't be able to stay at home."

"Mom, you're finally back!" Xu Qiaoqiao greeted her, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. It was Mr. Huo's heart attack. I took care of him in the East Palace for a while, so I wasted some time. Hey, didn't I have someone send a message saying that I would be back later tonight?"

Zhang Xiaoying looked at Xu Qiaoqiao.

Xu Qiaoqiao and Liu Fang looked at each other, Xu Qiaoqiao shook her head, "No one came to deliver the letter to us!"

Zhang Xiaoying frowned slightly.

Why, stopping someone halfway would worry her family and lead them to do something irrational?

Did they overestimate Xu Qiaoqiao's courage?

"No one?" Zhang Xiaoying asked again.

"I came back in the evening, and it's true that no one has been here. If someone had sent a message, Qiaoqiao wouldn't be worried until now." Liu Fang said.

"It seems that the person who sent the message was delayed by other things. Okay, I'm fine too. If I don't come back from now on, you guys will go to sleep first. If something really happened, you guys can't solve the problem by just walking around."

Zhang Xiaoying returned to normal and spoke to Xu Qiaoqiao calmly.

"Qiaoqiao, you will inevitably encounter all kinds of troubles in the capital. Sometimes you have to be bolder, otherwise if you encounter something in the future, just being nervous will not help. You have to calm yourself down to come up with a solution."

"Mom, I understand, I will try my best to imitate what you said."

"Go to bed."

Zhang Xiaoying patted her shoulder.

"Ah."

Xu Qiaoqiao breathed a sigh of relief and went back to rest.

Liu Fang asked in a low voice: "What happened in the East Palace?"

"It's just that Mr. Huo had a heart attack, nothing else. The person I asked to deliver the message was a stranger from the palace. I'm afraid he was blocked by something, so he couldn't deliver the message home in time. These are small things, don't think too much about them. many."

"Really?"

"Can I still lie to you?"

"Okay, if you have anything to do, please remember to discuss it with us. Maybe we can come up with an idea."

"I know, you go to bed too."

Zhang Xiaoying also drove Liu Fang away.

Maybe the eldest prince's people also did this.

Just why the other party did this, Zhang Xiaoying couldn't guess for a while.

After a busy day, Zhang Xiaoying lay down on the bed and slept comfortably after taking a bath.

At Yinshi (three o'clock in the morning), Zhang Xiaoying suddenly felt danger coming and opened her eyes suddenly.

Someone sneaked into Xu's house!

Zhang Xiaoying quickly put on her clothes and got out of bed, then quietly climbed out the window.

As soon as she left the room, Zhang Xiaoying smelled the smell of kerosene.

She saw two men in black pouring kerosene around the house.

Zhang Xiaoying was furious.

You bitch, you want to burn all the members of her Xu family with a fire?

Very vicious!

Zhang Xiaoying remained calm, came behind the two men in black, and said sullenly: "Who do you want to burn to death in the middle of the night?"

The two of them were startled when they heard the sound and immediately turned around.

Before they could say anything, Zhang Xiaoying inserted two silver needles into them, stopping them from moving.

Zhang Xiaoying directly lifted the cloth covering their faces, and said with a smile, "You didn't ask me before you took action. In addition to saving people, am I, Zhang Xiaoying, also good at killing people?"

The two men in black stared at Zhang Xiaoying.

They couldn't figure it out, how did Zhang Xiaoying discover them?

They obviously act so carefully!
