20 Threat
The continuous autumn rain makes people feel sad.

The faint sound of gongs, drums, strings and bamboos could be heard from the inner courtyard of the Fu family.

The mistress, Mrs. Xie, has no hobbies on weekdays, but she likes to invite the Chunxi Troupe to sing in the mansion.

Chunxi Class is the most famous in Beijing.

It was rare to hear a good show, so Ms. Xie invited her two aunts to keep her company. They listened to a little tune and cracked melon seeds, enjoying themselves.

Sitting on Mrs. Xie's left side was a woman wearing a green dress. Her cheeks were thin and covered with thick makeup. She looked particularly enchanting. She was Aunt Chen.

The weather is getting colder, and Aunt Chen is still holding a thin-handled pear flower fan in her hand.

She was not interested in the babbling drama, and looked around, trying to find something to say to Aunt Lu next to her: "Sister Lu, why don't you think the fourth girl hasn't come back yet? Is there really a falling out with the house?"

Aunt Lu seems to be honest and loyal.

She looked confused: "I...I don't know."

Fu Jiao, like her, has been a submissive character over the years.I heard that Fu Jiao was kidnapped and disappeared overnight. Her temperament suddenly changed drastically, and she and Fu Zhenqing were very unhappy.Fu Rudi was afraid that his father and daughter would quarrel, so he took Fu Jiao with him.

Away from this smoky house, to be honest, Aunt Lu felt a little envious in her heart.

"Let's talk about what you know."

Aunt Chen couldn't stop talking, and she said: "At any rate, the He family and we are family friends, but the result is that we broke off the engagement. The fourth girl is miserable now. It's hard to say whether her marriage will be settled in the future."

Aunt Lu: "Doctor He broke off the engagement and said it was not the fourth girl's problem, but his own poor health, and he was afraid of delaying the fourth girl."

Aunt Chen rolled her eyes, "That was an excuse deliberately made for Fu Jiao. Only you will believe it. Besides, I heard..."

"Cough cough."

Ms. Xie had a cold face and made a gesture to silence the two of them, "Just listen to the play. Why are you making so much noise?"

Aunt Lu lowered her head.

Aunt Chen had an itchy mouth and had no choice but to grab a handful of melon seeds and crack them.

The famous actress with heavy make-up on the stage is Zhou Fangjun, the mainstay of Chunxi Class, who is performing the third chapter of "Horse on the Wall". It tells the story of Miss Li's and Young Master Pei's falling in love at first sight, breaking through the secular ethics, and finally achieving consummation after many twists and turns.

Ms. Xie watched intently, and softly sang the emotional parts: "I've been dreaming of butterflies in my pillow for several years. After a while, I don't understand the good days and good nights."

At the right time, Fu Yan came running all the way from outside.

She turned away the maids and servants on her left and right, unable to hide her anxiety, and whispered something in Mr. Xie's ear.Xie's face darkened, she glanced at Aunt Chen and Aunt Lu, stood up and straightened the wrinkles in her clothes, "Listen first, I'll be right back."

Mr. Xie walked in a hurry.

The road was slippery on a rainy day and I accidentally sprained myself.

Aunt Chen looked at the mother and daughter leaving in a hurry, and threw the melon seed skins on the ground, "What? You asked people to listen to the play, and then left after listening to half of it?"

*
Xie held Fu Jiao's arm and looked nervous: "Is she really here?"

"It's true."

Fu Yan also looked like she was about to cry, "I was shocked when the servant came to report. Hurry up, mother, don't keep her waiting!"

It was raining lightly outside.

The mother and daughter left through the back door, too anxious to hold an umbrella, and came to a secluded alley.

Parked at the end of the alley was an inconspicuous carriage with a green curtain.

Hearing the sound, a tall and round-waisted maid came out of the carriage.She looked lightly and contemptuously at the two of them, rolled up half of the car curtains, bowed and said: "Master, they are here."

The woman in the carriage wore a dark blue cloak, and the large hood covered the upper half of her face, revealing only her delicate chin and beautiful red lips.Xie and Fu Yan quickly knelt down.

The woman reached out and pulled down her hood. She turned out to be a young girl in her twenties and eighties.

She looked down at the two of them coldly, not caring at all that the luxurious silks and satins under their knees were stained by the rain and mud, and teased in a strange way: "Mrs. Jian Cheng's life is really comfortable, and she is leisurely listening to the Chunxi Troupe at home. It is very rare to see you. !”

Fu Yan wanted to explain, but Xie pulled down her sleeve to stop her.

Xie was possessed and said humbly: "Princess Zhaofu, please calm down! You have told the women to do things, and the women have not forgotten. Fu Jiao is not in the capital now, and the women are really beyond her reach. When she returns to the capital, the women will We must find a way."

"Idiot! Idiot!" Princess Zhaofu was furious, "If you can't handle this, you might as well die!"

After saying that, she casually grabbed a teacup and smashed it on Mr. Xie's head.

Xie's face suddenly started to bleed.

But she didn't dare to wipe it.

The person in front of her is the most beloved daughter of Emperor Jianming and Concubine Jing, Princess Zhaofu Zhao Yuyi.

He is notoriously unruly, willful, and vicious.

Fu Yan felt sorry for her mother and couldn't help but said: "Princess, calm down! We have already found someone to kidnap Fu Jiao. We agreed to pay 300 taels of gold to kill him and silence him. For some reason, the two kidnappers actually let Fu Jiao escape and come back! My eldest brother invited A famous police officer investigated the matter and found out that the two kidnappers died mysteriously that night. If it weren't for the strange death of them, my mother would have been confessed long ago."

Princess Zhaofu didn't listen to these reasons.

"If you don't have the ability, you don't have the ability. Stop making excuses for me, princess!"

She held back her resentment and asked sharply: "When will Fu Jiao return to Beijing?"

"...I don't know."

Mrs. Xie hurriedly said: "But don't worry, princess, once she comes back this time, I will let her die without a burial place."

Princess Zhaofu stared at her for a long time, "I hope so. Otherwise..." She sneered, "Mrs. Jiancheng, you know what the consequences will be."

Xie's body trembled.

She lowered her head, not daring to imagine what Princess Zhaofu would do with her leverage.

After Princess Zhaofu's carriage had gone away, Fu Yan supported her mother, stamped her feet, and complained: "I don't understand why Princess Zhaofu has trouble with the daughter of a prostitute? Did they have any festivals in the past?" Fu Yan I couldn't figure it out even after racking my brain, "It's impossible. With Fu Jiao's timid and fearful character, how can he dare to provoke the princess?"

Xie wiped the blood on her forehead with a handkerchief and shook her head with a sad face.

She doesn't know either.

Half a year ago, Princess Zhaofu found her and threatened her to find a way to take Fu Jiao's life without leaving any trace.

Mr. Xie made some insidious inquiries, but received a sarcastic response from Princess Zhaofu.

Also.

How could she, the wife of an eunuch, have the right to speculate on the thoughts of the current princess?

Mrs. Xie didn't like Fu Jiao, so she just treated her harshly. When she got married, she could just find someone from the same household and marry her off.If Princess Zhaofu hadn't given the order, why would she, the majestic mistress, have killed an unpopular concubine and risked her own life for nothing?

Fu Yan gritted her teeth and helped Ms. Xie walk back, "Whatever! Anyway, I hate Fu Jiao to death! If Princess Zhaofu targets her, Fu Jiao will end up miserable sooner or later."

Mr. Xie patted the back of her hand: "Don't make any noise about what happened today."

Fu Yan: "Don't worry, mother. I know!"
