Red Mansion Huacai

Chapter 332

Although Sister Feng spoke with a smile, she shuddered in Aunt Zhao's eyes!

She has accumulated a lot of power, and everyone knows that Sister Feng is not a vegetarian. Although the third girl, Tanchun, is in charge of the house now, she may have to take back her job as housekeeper when Sister Feng gives birth in the future.

Because it was Aunt Zhao who was still so aggressive just now, she suddenly stopped moving like an eggplant beaten by frost.

Sister Feng glanced sideways at Aunt Zhao, then slowly stepped forward and said to the angry Li Wan: "Come on, it's just a little thing that made my sister-in-law angry. Come back, sister-in-law, let's talk together."

In a few words, the storm suddenly dissipated. Sister Feng and Li Wan walked all the way to Daoxiang Village. During the period, they glanced at Liu Wuer a few times and saw that he looked really sick. She couldn't help but wonder to herself, could it be that Li Wan was helping Lan Geer to recruit people in the house right now? ?
Tanchun was very angry. Seeing Sister Feng and Li Wan leaving, he only glared at Aunt Zhao angrily and then walked away. Aunt Zhao felt uneasy and returned to the small courtyard by herself.

I was worried, for fear that Sister Feng would deal with me someday. I didn't sleep well that night, but the next day the corrections came as expected!

Early that morning, Ping'er went to Aunt Zhao and said, "Grandma said, there are not enough manpower around Madam now, and Madam has fits from time to time... Although Grandma is able to take charge of the house according to the old lady's orders, she is still a junior, so it's not good I'm in charge of the affairs of the second room. From now on, I ask my two aunts to take care of the affairs in this courtyard. If my wife loses her temper, please stop me."

What Ping'er said was beautiful. Although Aunt Zhao was stupid, she figured out the key points as soon as Ping'er left. The wife who was previously in charge of the house was deprived of her life by Yizhi, and now she is even more restricted in the courtyard and cannot enter or leave. Even the maids and mothers-in-law around her have been changed over and over again. When the earth is not working, what good can Aunt Zhao do if she comes forward?
No matter what, Mrs. Wang is also the principal wife, and Master Jia Zheng is not here at this moment. How can a concubine of hers fight against Mrs. Wang face to face? It's hard to say that Mrs. Wang has a weird temper right now, and I don't know how to tease her.

Aunt Zhao scolded all eighteen generations of Wang Xifeng's ancestors in her heart, but she couldn't do anything about it. Just when he was at a loss what to do, little Ji Xiang'er came over and whispered: "Auntie, don't be afraid. Since the second grandma said that my wife often gets sick... now when she gets sick, why should I listen to my wife?"

There were two maids around Aunt Zhao. The little Que had secretly taken refuge with Mrs. Wang and often reported news. Little Jixiang'er was regarded as Aunt Zhao's confidant.

As soon as she said this, Aunt Zhao was surprised for a long time, and suddenly she laughed strangely, and praised little Ji Xiang'er without any words: "Good, good girl, I didn't hurt you in vain. Don't worry, except for Caiyun, I will Let Huan'er accept you too."

Yes, my wife is already sick, so why should I listen to my wife? Aunt Zhou never causes trouble. She only cares about herself all day long. She made her own statement and concluded that my wife is ill. How dare Aunt Zhou say anything?
While Aunt Zhao was smiling, she was secretly happy. This time, that Feng girl made a mistake. Not only was she unable to defeat her, she even got herself revenged!
Haosheng praised little Jixiang'er, and after a long while, Aunt Zhao, who had changed her clothes, went to the main room with high spirits.

At this time, only two women were watching in the main room. Mrs. Wang was kneeling and sitting in front of the Buddhist altar, twisting the beads and muttering something.

Aunt Zhao smiled disdainfully: "Hey, my wife is thinking about eating fast and chanting Buddha's name now. You must have forgotten how she harmed people that day, right?"

Mrs. Wang closed her eyes and ignored it.

Aunt Zhao sat down next to Mrs. Wang and said with a smile: "Girl Feng said that it is not easy for a junior to comment on the matter of the second wife, because from now on, I am here to serve the wife. Eh? I heard that the wife You've been having these attacks frequently these days, why don't you have one so I can take a look?"

Stopping the prayer beads in her hand, Mrs. Wang opened her eyes and glanced at Aunt Zhao coldly, and said softly: "Do you think you and Ma Daopo conspired to kill Baoyu and Brother Feng in secret and no one knew about it? If you No matter how noisy you are, believe it or not, I will risk my life to inform him of this matter when he comes back?"

Aunt Zhao, who was sitting upright, turned pale with fear and stammered: "You, you are so stupid!"

Mrs. Wang sneered and said, "How else do you think that Madam Ma died?" As she spoke, Mrs. Wang stood up, looked down at Aunt Zhao, raised her hand and slapped Aunt Zhao on the face, saying: "You wretched maid. , do you dare to sit upright in front of me?"

Aunt Zhao's face turned blue and white for a while, then she finally got up with her hands tied and stood aside politely. Mrs. Wang snorted coldly, ignored her, and went into the inner room on her own.

Aunt Zhao is about to cry but has no tears. Why is it that in the end it is my wife who comes to tease her?
The woman guarding the door was originally from Wang Xifeng, so she turned around and spread the news. After Ping'er realized what he had said to Sister Feng, he immediately asked, "How can grandma be so sure that my wife can cure Aunt Zhao?"

Wang Xifeng smiled and said nothing. There were dogs biting dogs on both sides. It would be different who could control the other. Sister Feng wished that both sides would suffer.

But he said that in the early morning of the morning, Xu Sheng, the censor who patrolled the city, impeached Prince Teng for being lax in his stewardship and allowed his son Wang to seize the Hui Wen Kang screen by force.

The saint was furious, threw the inkstone and threatened to chop off the heads of the eight disrespectful people. Wang Shuirong of Beijing and others came out one after another to ask for permission, and finally managed to cover up the matter. Although the prince watched the situation, he made no move that day.

Another day, the prince finally couldn't stand the instigation of his subordinates, so he went out to address the saint and begged the saint to be merciful, thinking that the eight people were just first offenders and should be given a lighter sentence.

The emperor is a political creature, how can he get angry without any basis? Emperor Zhenghe made a big fuss over gatherings for drinking and soliciting prostitutes during the national mourning period, so naturally he was not doing it for a few incompetent nobles.

After staying for a few days, there was repeated debate in the court, and the guilt was finally determined. Because these eight people were first-time offenders, they could avoid the death penalty but could not escape the punishment of living. Wang Ren and Wang were dismissed from the Imperial Academy and would never be used again. In addition, the hereditary second-class male and Beijing camp guerrilla Xie Jing, the grandson of the Marquis of Dingcheng, was dismissed from his post. ; The prince was demoted three levels, but still held the post of ruler of the nine provinces; Qiu Liang, the grandson of Marquis Jingtian, the patrolling army commander, was dismissed from his post.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the saint has been displeased with Si Qiu Liang, the patrolling soldier and horseman in the city. This time he just found an excuse to replace the ministers whom the saint trusted to perform his duties.

Emperor Zhenghe came to court, and when he returned to Xinuan Pavilion, he became increasingly uneasy. It’s only been a few years, but the prince has responded to every call? And I heard that King Beijing and Wang Ziteng had many contacts with the prince. Is there any conspiracy among them to form a clique?

After thinking for a long time, Dai Quan suddenly approached quietly and said: "Sage, I would like to see Wu Qian, the doctor of the Division of Punishment."

"Xuan."

Dai Quan agreed, turned around and ushered Wu Qian into the Xinuan Pavilion.

After Wu Qian saw Li, Emperor Zhenghe turned around and looked at him and said, "Yesterday you said that Li Fusheng had a quarrel with Prince Teng's family? Can you find out the reason?"

Wu Qian pondered for a moment, bowed and cupped his hands and said, "The Wang family's detective replied, saying that Wang and Wang Ren were running for the East Palace, and for some reason they were attracted by Uncle Li's business..." At that moment, Wu Qian told the detective one by one. will come out.

After hearing this, Emperor Zhenghe pondered for a long time and said, "So, Li Fusheng is targeting the two incompetent Wang family members this time?"

Wu Qian didn't dare to answer. As an eagle dog, he just reported what he found out to the saint, and the rest followed his orders.

Dai Quan on the side got Li Weijian's benefits again and again, especially his stock, because at this moment he smiled and said: "Sage, Mr. Li is a young man, so he can only tolerate it once or twice. The Wang family's son has come back again and again. It’s no wonder that Mr. Li was annoyed when he was bullied. As for the prince... I’m afraid he was implicated by the Wang family.”

Emperor Zhenghe suddenly smiled and said: "It's strange, how come the Prince of the East Palace whom I appointed is so unpopular in Li Fusheng's eyes?"

Dai Quan smiled and said: "Sage, Uncle Li is still young, so he may not be thorough enough in his actions."

Emperor Zhenghe glanced at him and immediately cursed: "You old dog, could it be that you also benefited from Li Fusheng?"

Dai Quan, who had been a servant of the emperor for more than 20 years, knew the saint's temperament, so he sneered and said: "The saint knows the old slave... I went back to the old slave to propose a marriage, and bought some stocks from Uncle Li. ”

Emperor Zhenghe laughed and scolded: "What's the use of getting money like a dog like you? Oh, yes, you also have a nephew. I'll take care of you now. If you do anything illegal again, I will punish you without mercy."

"Old slave obeys the order."

Emperor Zhenghe paced and thought with his hands behind his hands, then stopped for a moment and asked, "Li Fusheng is still at home now?"

Dai Quan didn't know it, but Wu Qian knew it by monitoring public opinion, so he said: "Back to the saint, Uncle Li's aunt Liang returned to Jinling today, and Uncle Li personally went to Tongzhou to see her off."

Emperor Zhenghe ordered: "Dai Quan, wait until tomorrow to ask Li Fusheng to enter the palace."

"Yes."

............................................................

Jinglingbo Mansion.

Because Liang was really worried about Li Shouzhong, he asked Li Weijian to find a sea ship. This time he went from Tongzhou to Jinmen, and then took a sea ship south, to Songjiang, and then changed ships to Jinling.

If the winds and rivers go smoothly, the whole journey will only take eight or nine days, which is much less time-consuming and labor-intensive than taking the canal.

Not mentioning Li Weijian's escort along the way, it was said that Daiyu had seen off her aunt Liang, dealt with family affairs early in the morning, and then looked through the account books in the study.

After a while, Zicuckoo quietly entered the house, and after pondering for a long time, she said: "Grandma, I just checked and said that the master was with Qingwen and Xiangling yesterday."

Daiyu blinked and suddenly became annoyed: "I was afraid that he would hold it back, so I asked him to find someone else. Unexpectedly, I told him once and didn't take it seriously. Do you still need any bones if you indulge like this?"

Zijuan said: "Why don't grandma ask Qingwen and Xiangling to teach them a lesson? No matter what, I can't hook up with the master like this..."

Daiyu thought about it and said, "It's not urgent... Qingwen has a fiery temper. I don't know the inside story. I'm afraid Qingwen won't be able to bear it if she scolds her. In this case, you go and find Xiangling first."

Zijuan praised: "Grandma is still thoughtful." Zijuan left the East Road Courtyard and found Xiangling after a while.

Xiangling entered inside, looked at each other with Daiyu, and immediately smiled. She opened her mouth but was silent for a long time, and then said: "Oh no, should I call you grandma or master?"

Daiyu knew that Xiangling was careless. Seeing that Xiangling was still smiling mischievously, she smiled and said, "Call me whatever you want, come on. How is your mother these days?"

Xiangling came over and sat down with a smile, and said: "The imperial doctor has diagnosed and treated the rheumatism and said that it can only be alleviated by acupuncture, but it cannot be cured. My mother in turn persuaded me, saying that it was thanks to the Fourth Master, otherwise I would never have dared to think about it. On today’s day?”

Daiyu said with a smile: "That's good. Your mother has suffered for so many years, and now she will finally be rewarded. But if there is anything in short supply, just come to me."

Xiang Ling smiled and shook her head: "I have them all. Fourth Master also gave my mother a monthly allowance of silver. My mother also said that every day the family has fine clothes and food, but even if they have money, they don't know how to spend it." After a pause, he added: " Grandma has something to say to me?"

Daiyu nodded and glanced at Zicuckoo, who quietly went to guard the door.

Daiyu pondered and didn't know how to speak. Although she had passed the door, she was still a girl because of her young age. How could she easily talk about the bed affair?

After a long while, Daiyu whispered: "Fourth brother, you and Qingwen these days..."

Xiang Ling blinked and blushed instantly. Years ago, due to the growing strength of Li Weijian, except for Xiu Ying who was naive and strong, none of the other sisters could bear it alone. At that moment, someone suggested that we might as well take turns serving him at night.

This matter was delayed due to the New Year's Eve and wedding. A few days ago, Qingwen found Xiangling and said she was going to come out. Xiangling hesitated for a long time before agreeing.

Serving the fourth master at night with the woman next to him seemed like a fantasy. Xiangling had never thought about it before. But as the past few days have passed, the shyness in my heart has faded away, and I feel that there is something else inside...

But when the mistress mentioned it, Xiangling bit her lower lip and really didn't know what to say.

Daiyu also blushed and said: "Fourth brother gave birth in June and is only eighteen, not even a weakling. Not to mention that this kind of thing is ridiculous, but it will not be a drag on fourth brother's body..."

Xiang Ling secretly thought that if she continued to let her mistress talk like this, she might become a fox. So he hurriedly said: "Grandma, I thought it was wrong, but in fact... in fact..."

He came over and whispered to Daiyu for a long time. A pair of eyes that looked like weeping but not crying were full of surprise. After Xiangling said it, Daiyu said: "Can it be like this?"

Xiangling whispered: "Hasn't Madam shown the picture to Grandma before she passed the door?"

I didn't give it before I passed the door, but I gave it when I came back... But now it's still in Zijuan's hands, and Daiyu has never seen it.

Xiangling then said: "Qingwen and I have been working hard these past few days, and Fourth Master is not too tired."

Daiyu was in a panic at this moment, but she couldn't help but wonder, the pleasure of bed... could be controlled by a woman?
After talking to Xiang Ling for a long time, when Xiang Ling resigned and left, Dai Yu sat in the study for a long time holding a book, seemingly looking through the accounts, but in fact she had already wandered away.

I was interested in looking through the booklet given by my godmother Zhang Yiren, but I was ashamed to say it out loud.

The Japanese Taoist Li Weijian would stay one night in Tongzhou after seeing Liang off. Unexpectedly, after the Youshi hour, Qianxue came back and said that Li Weijian was back.

Daiyu hurriedly put on her clothes and came to greet her. Before she was discharged from the hospital, she saw Li Weijian coming in the distance.

When the young couple met, Li Weijian took advantage of the situation and took Daiyu's hand. Daiyu said: "Didn't you say you want to stay overnight?"

Li Weijian smiled and said: "I calculated that I still had time before the city gate was locked, so I just came back quickly."

It goes without saying that some things need to be said. Today it is Daiyu's turn to take the night shift again. I'm afraid that is why Li Weijian rushed back so eagerly.

Daiyu shook her big hand, smiling and entering with Li Weijian.

Zijuan hurriedly moved to get water, and Li Weijian waved his hand and said, "It's covered in dust. I'll just go and take a shower later."

Daiyu hurriedly ordered: "Fourth brother hasn't eaten yet. Xueyan went to the back to remind him, pick up something delicious and cook a few things and deliver it as soon as possible." Turning around, she said to Li Weijian: "Fourth brother has eaten before taking a bath. It’s not good to have an appetite.”

"Listen to my sister."

The two chatted for a while, and then Xueyan brought a few side dishes with a food box. Li Weijian ate two large bowls of Bijaponica rice three times in a row. Daiyu couldn't help but said, "There's no need to be in such a hurry." Go back, what should you do if your horse falls while you are traveling at night?"

Li Weijian put down his bowl and chopsticks, burped, and said with a smile, "I've finished eating. Do you want my sister to take a bath with me?"

Daiyu knew that Li Weijian was going to cause trouble again, but looking at the dusty figure, she couldn't say the words of rejection, so she agreed after thinking for a while.

They all say that a break is better than a wedding. The young couple spends these days together at home every day, and when they are separated for a whole day, they miss each other without mentioning it. There was a lot of playing in the water at night, and a lot of tossing in the bed. It was so noisy that Daiyu got up at night to look for the rhododendron and asked for warm water twice before she could sleep peacefully.

The next day, the two people who were mixing rice and oil had just had breakfast. Suddenly Qianxue came in a hurry and replied, "Master, eunuch Dai from the palace is here." "Oh?"

Li Weijian did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly changed into casual clothes and went to the front. Daiyu only thought that the saint had another errand to send, so she stayed in the main room to deal with the housework.

After a while, Na Qianxue came in and replied: "Grandma, Eunuch Dai sent a message to invite me to the palace to see you. Your Majesty told me that you don't have to wait for him to have dinner together at noon."

Daiyu responded. After Qian Xue retreated, she started to make some calculations... It seemed like there were only a few days left for her wedding leave. Hongyu and Baoqin entered, and the latter talked to Daiyu, and they were going to various factories to do accounts today. Daiyu said a few words and sent guards to escort Baoqin. Then Hongyu talked about the affairs of the uncle's house.

Seeing the turn of spring and summer, the house had to buy all kinds of fabrics, and also needed to replenish makeup, powder and other supplies.

While the two were arguing, Qianxue came in again to report: "Grandma, grandma's relatives are here. It's the Lin Qin family, and even the Qiaoer girl from last time is here too."

Daiyu frowned immediately after hearing this. Hongyu was very smart, but could not say much at this time, so she said: "Since grandma wants to entertain guests, I will give the agreed instructions first."

Daiyu nodded and sent Hongyu away. Zijuan came over and whispered: "Grandma, this aunt is afraid of being unkind."

Daiyu smiled and said, "Do you even have to say that? My eldest aunt just left yesterday, and she keeps coming to visit today, fearing that the autumn wind will come again."

Immediately she ordered Qianxue, and after a while, Qianxue introduced Lin Qinshi and Qin Qiaoer inside.

Seeing the two of them entering, Daiyu only bowed slightly and nodded and said: "Sixth Aunt and cousin are here again? Xueyan, serve tea."

Qin Qiao'er obediently bowed down, while Lin Qin sat down and said, "Yu'er, I see that the West Road Courtyard has been renovated, and it looks much more luxurious than the East Road Courtyard. I heard that the West Road Courtyard is just a few meters away." Is there a concubine living there? This is not possible. You are the mistress of the house. Where can a mistress live in a worse place than a concubine? "

Daiyu didn't need to say anything. Xueyan served tea and said, "My master said early in the morning that we will start renovating the East Road Courtyard in a few days."

Mrs. Lin Qin then smiled and said, "That's right. I thought it was hard for Yu'er to open her mouth before, so I was about to go all out and tell my niece-in-law to break up with her. That's right, my niece-in-law has gone to the Yamen?"

Daiyu said: "Fourth brother received the order early in the morning and went to the palace to see Your Majesty." After a pause, she said: "Sixth aunt came to see me today, is there something wrong?"

Lin Qin glanced at Qin Qiao'er and said, "I really can't say these words... Yu'er is new to the family, but considering her age, she is really young. Your parents are gone again, and I'm afraid there is no one around." Help."

While talking, he stood up and walked to De Daiyu and said, "I've looked around carefully. This niece-in-law is a romantic woman. She only has maids around her. You have only two rooms for concubines before you even get past the door." One of them, surnamed Fu, gave birth to a daughter? Tsk, tut, luckily it’s a daughter. If she gives birth to a son, I don’t know how she will cause trouble in the future.”

Daiyu turned slightly and said, "What do you want to say, Aunt Six?"

Then Lin Qin frowned and said: "What do I want to say? Of course it's for Yu'er's good. You are young and have no one to help you, so I'm afraid you will be coaxed by those foxy people sooner or later. I heard that Yes, those two are good concubines. If they really harm you, there is no way they will turn around and become the mistress."

Daiyu said patiently: "I wish I had given Aunt Six more trouble."

Lin Qin said: "You are my niece, who else can I turn to if I don't turn to you?" As she spoke, she turned to Qin Qiao'er and said, "Qiao'er."

Qin Qiaoer stepped forward and bowed obediently towards Daiyu, then Lin Qin said: "Your cousin has the best character. If she protects you, you don't have to worry about those two foxy girls harming you."

Daiyu blinked and said, "What does Sixth Aunt mean?"

Mrs. Lin Qin said in shock: "My nieces and nephews have already taken concubines early in the morning. I don't think it's a big deal if they take more than one concubine."

Daiyu didn't answer, just said: "Sixth Aunt, it's better to sit down and talk."

When Mrs. Lin Qin sat down, Daiyu said, "I'm afraid what Aunt Six is ​​saying is inappropriate."

"Ah? What's wrong? Don't worry, Qiao'er will definitely protect you wholeheartedly after passing through. The baby born one day will be a boy and a girl, and it will be in your name."

Daiyu smiled and said: "Sixth Aunt, I'm afraid I've forgotten. It's a national funeral now, and noble families are not allowed to get married during the year."

Then Lin Qin blinked and said with a smile: "Well, what else can I say? Then don't take concubines for now, and just ask Qiaoer to come over and be your personal maid. Left and right is just a name, one year earlier and one year later Nothing."

Just when Zijuan was about to speak, she was stopped by Daiyu, and then Daiyu said with a smile: "I know what the sixth aunt is thinking, but I can't make the final decision on this matter. I have to ask my fourth brother before I can take it." idea."

Mrs. Lin Qin said: "You are just a maid, Yu'er can't be the master?"

Zijuan said: "Grandma is really not good at making decisions. The master set the rules early in the morning. When entering the house for duty, one must have a clean net worth, no bad habits, and a neighbor as a guarantor. In this way, do the following before entering the house. After passing the transfer, you can only get the employment contract after one month of probation."

Lin Qin blinked and said, "Why is it so cumbersome? They are all relatives. I finally managed to reply. Can't I make an exception?"

Zijuan then laughed and said: "Sixth grandma said this is not easy for slaves to accept. The rules are all set by the master, and the housekeeper is Miss Hongyu now. Our grandma is just a boss, so we shouldn't meddle in things at this moment." ”

Lin Qin suddenly frowned and became displeased. At this moment, she saw Qin Qiaoer kneeling in the hall with a bang, kowtowing and said: "Grandma, just keep me, otherwise I will have no way of living!"

After saying this, he cried, howled, and kowtowed.

Daiyu sat upright and frowned. Xueyan went to help her angrily, but Qin Qiaoer just couldn't afford it.

Daiyu glanced at Qin Qiao'er, put down the tea cup and said to Lin Qin, "Is this why Aunt Six came to visit her repeatedly?"

Lin Qin's face was sarcastic, but she said harshly: "Qiao'er's family is in trouble, but in the final analysis, it's for your own good, Yu'er."

Daiyu sneered and said: "I wanted to show you some kindness, but I thought wrong... Fourth brother is right, some people will really show off their noses when given a little respect."

Lin Qin suddenly asked: "You, what do you mean by this? Do you talk to elders like this?"

Daiyu smiled and said: "Elder? When the other six members of the Lin family are calculating my family's property, do you care that you are the elder? If you can be kind and agree, and care about the Lin family, I won't be short of those three melons and two dates. Yes, it’s for you. You came to my house to act as an elder and bullied others. My fourth brother and eldest aunt entertained you just because of my face. Do you really think you have some dignity?”

He said this without any mercy, making Lin Qin's face turn red.

"you you--"

Daiyu stood up and said: "The water thrown by the married daughter, let alone what happened before, don't forget that I am Li Lin's family now!" Stopping, Daiyu looked at Zicuckoo: "Zicuckoo, I am tired. Send this grandma and sister out. Don’t let anyone else in that is irrelevant.”

"Yes!" Zicuckoo stepped forward with her head raised, glanced sideways at Lin Qin, extended her hand and said, "Grandma, please come!"

Lin Qin couldn't help shouting: "Okay, if you treat me like this, aren't you afraid of what others will say in the future?"

Daiyu said: "If someone else has a mouth, he can just say what he wants. What does it have to do with me?"

Qin Qiaoer was also forcefully pulled up by Xue Yan at this time. At this time, she also said: "Is it possible that grandma doesn't have any compassion in her heart? If grandma drives me away, she will force me to die!"

Daiyu said: "My compassion is only for good people... it is not reserved for people like you who have ulterior motives!"

The woman outside had long felt that something was wrong. Seeing what was going on inside, several sturdy women came in and blocked Lin Qin and Qin Qiao'er with a single movement of their bodies. Under Zijuan's urging, they pulled the two of them together. And drove out of the uncle's house.

Daiyu returned to the study and sat down, letting out a long sigh of relief. Just when she picked up the account book, Zijuan returned excitedly and said, "Grandma, those two people were driven out."

"Ah."

At this time Xue Yan also came back and said with a smile: "Grandma, aren't you curious about what happened to that girl Qiaoer?"

Daiyu rolled her eyes at her and said, "It's not me who harmed her. How she suffered is what does it have to do with me?"

Xue Yan then smiled and said, "Grandma, that's fine. Just now I was worried that grandma's kindness would show up and she couldn't help but keep that girl Qiao'er."

Daiyu tapped Xueyan's head lightly with her account book and said angrily: "I'm asking for a beating. Although I have a kind heart, I'm not indifferent to right from wrong. Those who are deliberately plotting against me can just drive them out. I I don’t want to listen to her deception.”

Zicuckoo said: "I just saw Hongyu wandering around, I'm afraid I'm just on guard against the girl becoming soft-hearted for a moment."

Daiyu smiled and shook her head. She no longer thought about Lin Qin and Qin Qiao'er. She suddenly thought of Li Weijian, but she didn't know if the fourth brother had seen her at this time.

............................................................

Daming Palace.

Li Weijian followed Dai Quan twisting and turning, and it took a long time to reach a side hall. Dai Quan opened the door of the hall and said with a smile: "Uncle Li, please invite me. The saint will come in a while."

"Thank you, father-in-law." Li Weijian bowed his hands in salute and immediately entered.

The side hall here is not big, and it is empty. There are not even tables and chairs. Li Weijian only took a few glances and realized something was wrong... The saint's summons was held in a place like this?
He turned around and was about to look for Dai Quan, but saw that the palace door had been closed early in the morning. Li Weijian frowned and thought, and immediately reached the door. He reached out and pushed, and immediately saw two Han generals standing outside the door.

One of them cupped his hands and said, "Uncle Li, the saint told me to wait here. It's not allowed for me to move around."

"Oh." Li Weijian responded, turned around and returned inside.

There was nothing all around, so Li Weijian thought about it and sat down cross-legged, and sighed after a while: "The saint is going to beat me."

Now that he had figured out the saint's thoughts, Li Weijian knew that it was useless to be anxious now, so he simply lay on his side on the ground and closed his eyes to rest.

The sun moved a little bit outside, and there was a roar in Li Weijian's belly. Li Weijian opened his eyes and took a look, calculating that it was probably already past noon.

Immediately, I cursed in my heart. I just closed the door tightly and didn't even give him food and tea. This saint was too small-minded.

Besides, it was Dong Gong who provoked me first, and it was not him who provoked Dong Gong. Why should he only come to beat himself?
Hey……

It's okay to suffer from hunger, but what should this person do if he has three urgent needs? The large one can hold it for a while, but the small one is afraid it will explode if it doesn't hold on any longer.

After another long while, Li Weijian simply stood up and went to a corner of the hall to put some water. After feeling comfortable, he found a place to lie down again.

............................................................

The application time has passed.

After Daiyu took a nap for half an hour, she woke up and looked at the sky. She quickly looked for Zicuckoo and asked, "What time is it?"

Just as the chiming clock in the room rang, Zicuckoo took a quick look and said, "Grandma, it's half past four."

Daiyu asked again: "Is fourth brother back?"

"not yet."

Daiyu immediately frowned and said, "Although you have to wait for a long time to see me, you should be back soon..."

Zicuckoo thought about it and said: "Perhaps there are too many ministers waiting to see your majesty in front? Or maybe the saint invited me to have dinner with you? Grandma doesn't need to worry too much. Master only does practical work. He has never been involved in court troubles and has no expectations. It will cause trouble."

Daiyu frowned and nodded, feeling uneasy, and ordered: "Go ahead and ask Butler Wu to go to the imperial city and see if Fourth Brother's carriage is still there."

"Yes."

The sun was setting little by little, and Daiyu felt more and more uneasy. Suddenly Qianxue came back and said: "Grandma, Haiping went to the outside of the imperial city in person. He said that the Ding brothers were guarding the carriage and waiting, but he never saw the master. come out."

Daiyu's face suddenly turned pale, and she was thinking a lot.
