Splendid spring returns

Xin Nian took off the cloak and hung it up for Gu Changting, only to hear him sigh: "Mother is sick. At first she refused to let me know, she just said she was tired and didn't want to see me. I heard her voice was wrong, so I hurried into the house , I found out that she was ill. She said that it was inevitable to get angry these days, and it was not a big deal. She was afraid that I would know that I would feel guilty, so she simply didn't tell me, and she refused to ask the doctor. How can this work? So I just Let Mr. Gu take my post and invite Wang Taiyi to come over in person. Alas! Although I am planning for the palace, I don’t agree with my mother’s actions, but seeing her like this, I feel guilty and sad. Nian Nian you are right , Sure enough, it is difficult for an upright official to decide on family affairs, and the affairs in the palace are more tiring than my dealing with those open and dark arrows in the court."

Seeing Gu Changting's head drooping, Xin Nian just suddenly realized, and couldn't help giving a thumbs up in his heart, praising the princess is really a good way.

No wonder Luye died at this time, isn't it? He had to die at this time. While the prince was going down several cities in succession and feeling guilty in his heart, he should get rid of the biggest hidden danger. If he got sick again, he would express himself in front of his son. Biao loving mother worked hard, but she was afraid that this matter could not be let go lightly.

After chatting casually for a few words, Xin Nian brought up Luye's death, first said his own disposal, and then said softly: "I thought, so many things happened in the mansion one after another, and the concubine got sick because of the fire , It is really inappropriate to bother her because of this, it is better to let this matter go like this, I told the servants not to spread it indiscriminately, and gradually no one mentioned it, it will be fine, but one day the concubine will find out..."

Before finishing speaking, Gu Changting said repeatedly: "It's good for you to deal with it like this. It's okay for the concubine to know. Luye is your girl, and it has nothing to do with mother. She can just ask a question at most."

"it is good."

Xin Nian remained calm on the face, but he let out a long sigh in his heart, feeling powerless all over his body: she is really helpless in the affection between mother and child.

Under Xin Nian's instructions, the matter of Luye was soon forgotten.Time passed day by day, and it was late autumn in a blink of an eye.

It started to rain that day from the morning until the afternoon, but Liao ordered people to come over, and only said that the masters and maids in the mansion were going to make winter clothes and asked Xin Nian to open the warehouse to get satin, so Xin Nian ordered Lizhi and Xinghua took a few women to the warehouse together, while she asked people to light candles and settle accounts in the house.

Just after counting two pages, I heard the sound of footsteps outside the door, so I raised my head, wondering what happened again?so urgent.Because he was about to ask, he saw the girl Hongxiu rushing in, and said in a panic: "Auntie, you... what do you think this is?"

"Ok?"

Last month, the mansion bought more than a dozen maids, big and small, and Hongxiu and Qingqing Fangcao Biyun were four of them. Because Lizhi Xinghua was going to get married, and Chunyu was only responsible for taking care of the six children, Xin Nian wanted it. They come to serve.

"what?"

Xin Nian took the box from Hongxiu's hand, and felt it was heavy when she took it in. When she opened her doubts, a burst of brilliance burst out.Looking carefully, there are more than a dozen gold and silver ingots in the box, a pair of jasper bracelets, two precious pearl hairpins, five gemstone rings, and even a jade waist chain.

"This is... where did you get it?"

Xin Nian was stunned, but Hong Xiu shook her head repeatedly and said: "The room I just moved into today was said to be lived in by a girl named Lu Ye, because she died not long ago, and Sister Xing Hua thought it was unlucky, so she asked me to wait for a while." I moved again, but my house had air leaks from the windows, and it was unbearably cold. I’m not afraid of it. The green leaves didn’t die in that house, so what’s the point? I told Sister Xinghua that I moved in this morning. It took me a long time to clean it up. I found it under the bed board. It was wrapped with several layers of veils. When I opened it, it was this box. I took a look and was terrified. I hurried to tell my aunt that this... this thing has nothing to do with me. ah."

As soon as the words fell, Xin Nian closed the box with a "snap", his face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water would drip out.

Hongxiu was so frightened that she fell silent, and said in a sobbing voice, "Auntie, it's really...it's not me..."

"I see, you go down, don't mention this to others."

Xin Nian smiled at Hongxiu, and seeing the little girl nod her head in a daze, she gritted her teeth and cursed: "The black-hearted ones, just for these things, attacked the two children, and finally paid for their lives for nothing, how about you? When a person dies, can things still be brought into the coffin?"

After scolding, I thought about it again and shouted to the outside: "Has Lizhi come back? Let her come to see me as soon as she comes back."

"Yes." The little girl outside agreed, and after about a quarter of an hour, Lizhi came in, and said with a smile, "What's the matter, Auntie? I was in the warehouse earlier, and I met Qian Momo from the Taifei's courtyard, and said Concubine Toffee was enjoying the rain in the yard, and felt that the weather was getting cold, so she told her to go to the storeroom to get a piece of soft leather to spread the chairs. My aunt listened to this score, and the high-quality soft leather might not be available for dozens of taels of silver. , our concubine is just laying out chairs, in fact, lamb skin is enough, Qian Momo insists on white fox fur, and Xinghua and I have no choice but to let her pick a good piece and take it..."

Seeing that Xin Nian's expression was not right while talking, Li Zhi stopped talking and asked cautiously: "What's wrong with Auntie?"

"It's nothing." Xin Nian looked at the box in his hand, and said calmly, "You said the concubine is enjoying the rain right now?"

"Yes." Li Zhi nodded: "Fortunately, she is not afraid of thunder. Since the afternoon, the thunder has rang four or five times, each time getting louder."

Xin Nian sneered: "Of course she is not afraid. This is probably the last rain this autumn. It will be over after the rewards are over. What has she to be afraid of?"

After speaking, he stood up, handed the box to Lizhi, and said in a deep voice, "This is something I found in the Green Leaf Room, take a look."

"Ah? In the Green Leaf Room?" Surprised, Li Zhi quickly opened it, and after only one glance, she shouted, "This... This is the golden hairpin that that hoof got from the concubine, yes, I followed her back then , she didn't see me, she took it out to look at the sun, the black pearl inlaid on it, the servant remembers it clearly, because it is rare and hard to find, the servant still thinks, the concubine is willing to spend all her money in order to harm the young master and girl ..."

"Sure enough. It seems that the things in this box are all rewarded by the concubine."

Xin Nian took the box, only to hear Li Zhi puzzled: "This is her life, why did it end up in our courtyard instead? Why didn't she take it away that day?"

Xin Nian said: "There are everyone in the laundry room. There are more than a dozen rough maids living in Datong shop. Where is she going to hide this with her? What if it is not well hidden and it is stolen again? I think At that time, she was sure that she would have a bright future, and it would not be too late to find time to come back to pick it up when she became a big girl in the concubine's courtyard. The fact is also true, this thing has been under the bed for almost half a year, and no one has found it. When Hongxiu was packing up today, I somehow saw it."

Li Zhi sighed, shook her head and said: "This is really not as good as God's fortune. How could she have thought that when she went to the laundry room, she would not even have the chance to see her face again, and she would die."

While talking, seeing Xin Nian wearing a cloak, Li Zhi asked suspiciously: "Where is Auntie going? It's raining outside, and there was a burst of thunder just now..."
