Noble Lady Jing Zhao

Chapter 36

Ye Jingzhao feared that something might have changed.

I went to my mother again to mention this matter.

"Mother, I can't think of what Second Uncle wants to do in the Marquis Mansion with Third Sister's Geng Tie."

"This matter, I'm afraid it is simple."

Mrs. Xie frowned, "The Marquis Mansion is currently unmarried, and there is only Eldest Mu, your second uncle will never send your third sister to the Marquis Mansion to be the second master's concubine. In this case, I am afraid that your second uncle will beat you I've made up my mind to change my marriage!"

He remembered the noise Jiang made in the second room earlier.

Mrs. Xie was still a little puzzled, "It's just, how could Mrs. Mu agree to this matter?"

It has been nearly half a year since the uncle and nephew of the Hou's mansion seized the title.

No conclusion yet.

"How about, mother go to Mrs. Mu for a while."

For some reason, she felt a little uneasy.

Xie nodded.

I think my daughter's concerns are justified.

Just going out of the house, I have to report to the old lady.

Unexpectedly, when the old lady heard that Mrs. Xie was going to visit Mrs. Zhao in Su Muhou's mansion.

Immediately, he refused to comply, and only excused himself by saying that the Hou Mansion had only made such a big fuss a few days ago.

Mrs. Mu was angry again and would inevitably cause trouble to Mrs. Zhao at this time.

Since her mother-in-law refused to comply, Mrs. Xie had no way to openly question her.

I had to go back to Zhitingyuan first.

"I heard that my grandmother just went to Su Muhou's Mansion a few days ago, and now she doesn't ask mother to go. No matter how you look at it, it seems weird."

"Zhao Zhao, you don't have to worry, mother has her own way out of the house, so don't worry anymore."

After all, her daughter is still young, and Mrs. Xie didn't want her to go out and show her face.

Fortunately, last time I went to the boss's house with the master for a banquet.

Mr. Qian's wife, Mrs. Rong, was particularly speculative with her.

I mentioned it earlier, let her come and go frequently in the future.

Mr. Qian is a student at the fifth-grade Hanlin Academy and is the master's boss. He is an upright man, although he has an old-fashioned temperament.

But because of his humble background in the imperial examination.

On the contrary, he is very much in tune with Mr. Ye.

Mrs. Xie handed the post to Mrs. Qian.

Not long after, Mrs. Qian replied to the post and went to the old lady to invite Mrs. Xie to the banquet.

The old lady couldn't shirk anymore.

He had no choice but to let Xie go out.

Mrs. Xie went to Qian's mansion by chariot and horse from Bo's mansion, Mrs. Qian, Mrs. Rong knew the reason for Mrs. Xie's visit today.

Carts and horses were prepared at the back door. Xie thanked her and went straight to the Su Muhou Mansion.

Mrs. Qian passed a post to Mrs. Mu Mrs. Zhao.

Mrs. Zhao has already arranged it at the back door.

He asked the inconspicuous mother-in-law to guard the back door, while he waited for Mr. Xie in an unused yard in the backyard.

"Mrs. Mu."

Seeing Mrs. Xie's courtesy, Mrs. Zhao hurriedly helped Mrs. Xie up and said, "Mrs. Ye San, there is no need to be polite. I accepted Mrs. Qian's post and I feel really uneasy."

"I'm not feeling very at ease these days. If I hadn't accidentally overheard the conversation between my second uncle and the boy, I'm afraid there are some variables that you wouldn't know about."

Mrs. Zhao understood and said, "If they really want to cause trouble in this matter, I'm afraid it will be difficult to prevent..."

Xie also understands Zhao's worries.

Coming today, I already had a plan in my heart, "In order to avoid accidents, I will first give you Zhaozhao's Geng Tie, and on that day, it will all depend on Mrs. Mu."

"Thank you, rest assured."

Mrs. Zhao thanked Mrs. Xie and accepted Ye Jingzhao's Geng Tie.

He also ordered people to carefully send Mr. Xie away from the Hou Mansion.

When Mrs. Xie returned home, Ye Jingzhao learned that her mother had given her Geng Tie to Mrs. Zhao.

Didn't say anything more.

She also ordered Qiuhong to go to the third brother to inquire about some news.

The third brother is most idle on weekdays.

Now he is sixteen, he has no merit in the imperial examination, and the Jiang family has only this one son.

Because of her mother's family, she pampered her third brother too much.

Now I spend the whole day in Kyoto either eating, drinking and having fun, or hanging out with a few friends.

Fortunately, Qiuhong did not disappoint her expectations.

Finally, I learned something from my third brother.

"Now that the second master doesn't live in the house, he sleeps outside. On weekdays, only the servant comes back to get some changes of clothes. The servant who runs errands for the second master every day has some friendship with the third young master."

Qiu Hong paused, her mouth a little dry.

Seeing this, Ye Jingzhao hurriedly ordered Hong Zao to add a cup of tea to Qiu Hong.

Qiu Hong drank the tea and continued, "The boy said that the second master has been very busy recently, and it seems that it is for the sake of the second master Mu to ask for a title."

"Are there any others?"

Ye Jingzhao asked.

Qiu Hong shook her head and told everything she had found out.

"Hongzao, you can send Qiuhong back to rest."

"Yes."

As soon as Hongzao walked out with Qiuhong, Ye Jingzhao held his chin with one hand and twisted the handkerchief with the other.

My mind is muddled and my thoughts are complicated.

The second uncle asked for the Geng Tie from the third sister and sent it to the Hou Mansion.

Now he is asking for the title of marquis for Master Mu Er.

Could it be that the third sister is really going to be sent to be a concubine to Master Mu Er?

I'm afraid grandma knows about this.

But like this, how can she stop her marriage with Mr. Mu?

This one is puzzling.

Even in sleep.

She was thinking about this too.

At some point, I found myself in a fog.

He was walking forward aimlessly, when his feet suddenly became empty and his body twitched violently.

She suddenly opened her eyes and lost her sleepiness.

Get up and walk to the window, push away the window coffin carved with cloud patterns, the moonlight is thick outside the window.

Cloudless.

A thought suddenly flashed through me.

A gust of cold wind blew up in the small courtyard at some point, and it blew in through the window.

Along her neckline, it filled her whole body.

He couldn't help but shudder, raised his hand to close the window, and lit an oil lamp on the dark table beside the couch.

She walked barefoot step by step.

The second uncle is afraid that he has abandoned the third sister.

The Geng Tie of the third sister was also exchanged with Prince Mu.

In order to hinder Sanfang's career.

The second uncle was so heartless that he willingly gave up his own daughter.

He didn't want to help his future son-in-law, and would rather help Mr. Mu to seize the title.

Really played a good hand.

I'm afraid the second aunt doesn't know about this matter.

Otherwise, given Jiang's temperament, how could he agree to this matter.

It was inevitable that my mother and Madam Mu had not thought carefully about it, and it would only be appropriate for Jiang to make trouble.

I have an idea in my mind.

Early the next morning, Ye Jingzhao went to the second room.

Xie didn't know about this.

Jiang was a little surprised when she saw her coming, but he didn't bother to pay attention to her.

"Four girls are here today. Why are you here?"

Before she could speak, Jiang shi lazily sat on the main seat, his voice was a bit rambling.

Ye Jingzhao saluted, "Second Aunt, why don't you see Third Sister?"

"Miss San was taken back to the Jiang family by Mrs. Jiang early this morning." Madam Cui said as she poured tea for the Jiang family.

"What else can you do, Miss Four?" Jiang asked, wanting to see off the guests.

"I heard that the third sister's ink paintings are very famous in Kyoto. I want to learn painting from the third sister."

Seeing her praising her daughter, Jiang's face was full of complacency.

"It's a pity, she's not in the mansion right now, let's wait a few days, when Yun'er comes back, you can ask her yourself."
