The Splendid Fate of the Reborn First Daughter

Grandma Wang's family was overjoyed.Gao Mingzhu was worried.

Her maid Cuixi said: "Second young mistress, the concubine said that the expenses in the house are too high, so we must save money everywhere, and the monthly money in our yard will be reduced in the future. You used to pay ten taels, but now you have to reduce it to eight taels. Miss Dong'er is five taels a month. She also said that we don't need so many maids in the yard, so the eldest maid will keep me and Cuihong. The younger maid will cut two. You decide who to keep. The eldest maid [-] cash per person, [-] cash per person for the little maids. The rough envoys keep two, [-] cash per person. Look..."

Gao Mingzhu sighed, "Has the mansion reached this point?"

Cuihong said from the side: "You don't know, the mansion is going to be a mess. The princess said that there are too many concubines and the expenses are too high, and each concubine only pays one tael of silver and five hundred yuan a month. The maid can only keep two big ones and two small ones. The rest of the people have to be kicked out. It is said that it is too wasteful to make clothes for the whole house four times a year, and it will be done only twice a year in the future. The rest of the place also needs to be judged, and now everyone in the mansion is in danger, for fear that if they are not careful, they will be kicked out."

Gao Mingzhu was surprised for a moment and didn't know what to say.

Cui Xi said: "Be careful what you say, the princess is about to arrest someone and punish her, show everyone, don't run into her."

Cuihong immediately shut up.

Gao Mingzhu sighed and said, "What should I do? The original money was not enough to spend, but now it has been reduced again. How am I going to live this day?"

Cuixi said: "Now we have to wait and see. The concubine has spoken, who can do anything? I heard that many people have gone to ask Mr. Li, but Mr. Li didn't care. He only said that this mansion has always been The concubine's housekeeper, he can't control these matters."

Gao Mingzhu also sighed: "How can I do this?"

Cuixi said: "Otherwise, write to Second Young Master and ask him."

Gao Mingzhu said: "Second Young Master is not easy at the border, so let's find a way."

Li Liang reported to the prince what happened in the palace.

The prince was very upset: "What's the matter with her? I've never seen her like this before. She blindly collects money, but she doesn't care about her dignity at all. What is this for?"

Li Liang said: "This is too much. Now the house is in a mess. All the aunts have sent people, saying that life is difficult. They all came to me crying, but there is nothing I can do."

The prince said, "Is there no money in the account?"

Li Liang said: "I just added [-] silver to the account two days ago, and it was said that it was taken away by the princess the next day. I heard that it was used to buy land. And..." He looked at it The prince said: "It is said that the name of the princess is written on the land deed, and it is handed over to her close grandmother to take care of it, saying that these are the private property of the princess."

The prince was furious: "This woman, what does she want to do! She is so blatantly greedy for money!"

Li Liang said: "I heard that it is for the third son to save the property."

The prince wanted to scold, but finally held back: "Is this woman crazy? Is it possible that my son-in-law can't live without his mother's private property? She saves money like this, so she is not afraid of being laughed at."

Li Liang said: "I'm afraid it's because Aunt Zhang is pregnant with a boy, so..."

The prince said angrily: "It's just a bastard, as for this! She is really confused!"

Li Liang said: "Then what else can I do? No one in the mansion can be the family except her."

The prince said: "Call Xinghe's daughter-in-law back. I think she is a sensible person."

Li Liang said: "Although the eldest young mistress is good, she hasn't come back very often recently, probably because she can see that the princess is only the third son's life now, and she doesn't like her very much."

The prince said: "Xinghe is also her own..."

He suddenly understood: "She is..."

Li Liang said: "Although the eldest son is good, he didn't grow up with her, but the third son is different..."

The prince sighed, "How did she become like this! She used to..."

Li Liang said: "The concubine got a son when she was old, so naturally she cherishes it in every possible way."

The prince was silent for a long time.

Li Liang didn't speak, and after a while, the prince said, "Let's take a look first. It was indeed my responsibility back then. She... also suffered a lot."

Li Liang didn't say anything, but bowed and agreed.

There was an undercurrent in the palace for a while, and everyone complained.

At this moment, another accident happened in the capital.

Cheng Xingsheng, the commander-in-chief of the garrison in the east, died suddenly at home.

This time even Xia Yuwei couldn't sit still anymore, Zhao Xinghe rushed back from the barracks, Xia Yuwei said to him: "I also want to go and have a look, you find a man's clothes, I will pretend to be your entourage, follow over to express condolences .”

Zhao Xinghe hesitated for a moment, he said: "Weiwei, there will be many people there, and they are all men, I don't want you to go. Besides, Marshal Cheng has passed away, why do you have to see it..."

After hearing this, Xia Yuwei had no choice but to let it go.She said, "Go and ask if Marshal Cheng had been drinking when his accident happened."

Only then did Zhao Xinghe feel relieved: "It's easy to handle, I'll ask." After speaking, he explained a few words to Xia Yuwei, and then took Shen Ding to Cheng's residence.

Cheng Xingsheng's mansion is in the east of the city.Zhao Xinghe saw that there were not many people mourning, they were all from the military.

A deputy general guarding the north said to Zhao Xinghe: "When you warned us at the beginning, we were all puzzled. We never thought that in such a short period of time, a commander and two lieutenants both died without knowing why. People, the means are too clever."

Zhao Xinghe said: "I'm also looking for someone to think of a way. As long as I can prepare a good antidote, I should be able to get through this difficult time." He asked Cheng Xingsheng's entourage, "Your Marshal Cheng, when something happens, will you be able to get through this difficult time?" Are you drinking?"

The entourage said: "Our master has to drink a glass every night. On the day of the accident, he did drink."

Everyone looked over unconsciously: "What? Is this poison related to wine?"

Zhao Xinghe said: "As far as I know, there is a kind of poison that can kill people invisible, and the poisoned person can't see any signs of poisoning. But usually this kind of poison is placed in wine, not only can it be difficult to detect, but also Poison is more likely to take effect through the strength of alcohol."

When everyone heard it, there was a lot of discussion, and some people said: "Can we all stop drinking?"

Someone also remembered: "Those two lieutenants also happened after they attended the banquet."

Everyone is very frightened.

Zhao Xinghe said: "It's not necessary to stop drinking, but you have to manage your own alcohol. As long as it's safe, it's okay to have a drink."

Everyone also sighed: "How did this person from the Southern Dynasty poison him? Not only is it unsafe at the banquet, but he was also poisoned when he had a drink at home. It is impossible to guard against."

Zhao Xinghe said: "Everyone, when you go back, you must guard the door, and don't let strangers in. You must be careful about eating and drinking at home, and find reliable servants to guard it. In this critical period, you must take care."

Everyone thanked each other.

Zhao Xinghe returned to Dingbei Palace, and talked about this matter with Xia Yuwei.Xia Yuwei said: "Since I know what poison is, it will be much easier to deal with. I did see the records in Yangming Mountain. Could it be that this master of poison art in the Southern Dynasty has any relationship with Senior Kong Ming?"

Zhao Xinghe said: "I can't find out about this yet, but if the poison can be cured, then I can rest assured."

Xia Yuwei hugged Zhao Xinghe and said: "You have to be careful, those people from the Southern Dynasty probably hate you the most. If it weren't for you, this country would have fallen into their hands long ago. You are a loyal minister and a good general, a model for all people."

Zhao Xinghe smiled and said, "So I'm in your heart, that's good."

Xia Yuwei said: "Of course, you are the best in my heart, no one can compare to you."

Seeing her smiling, Zhao Xinghe's heart throbbed, and he hugged her tightly, "Weiwei, Weiwei, I..." He suddenly couldn't control himself.

Seeing his pale face, big beads of sweat rolling down his forehead, Xia Yuwei felt distressed, she whispered a few words in Zhao Xinghe's ear, Zhao Xinghe couldn't bear it anymore, and carried her into the inner room .
