Houmen's step-wife

Chapter 381 Slap in the face (2)
"Oh, what a pity." Empress Ning sighed.

Although she felt something was wrong in her heart, she didn't think much about it.He even secretly rejoiced that he was able to hold his breath and did not secretly kill Mrs. Chu, otherwise, it is not known whether she would be able to sit here with peace of mind.

On the contrary, the people in Uncle Wuqing's mansion were greatly frightened when they heard the news.

Especially Uncle Wu Qing's wife, Mrs. Ye, was in a state of panic all day long, for fear that Fang's mother would confess herself, and at the same time wondered what happened.

Because Mrs. Lu, wife of Uncle Wuqing's son, is very insightful and powerful behind her back, Mrs. Ye usually relies on her very much, but this time is no exception, and he habitually seeks advice from Mrs. Lu.

"Why is Fang's mother so confused that she even murdered Mrs. Chu? Is it time to attack her? It's really not enough to succeed, and more than to fail. If she dies, she will hurt others." As soon as Mrs. Ye saw Mrs. Lu, she immediately Can't help complaining.

Fortunately, she still had high hopes for Fang's mother. There was hope in the matter, but this incident disturbed it.Don't let Lu Cairen compete for favor now, I'm afraid that Wu Qingbo's mansion will be implicated.

"Madam, don't be impatient." Mrs. Lu was actually a little angry and uneasy in her heart, but she still calmed down and comforted Mrs. Ye, "Mama Fang may not really have murdered Mrs. Chu, maybe it was just Mrs. Chu's attack on her." Just an excuse."

Lu knows that the Shengzi Pill can indeed make people pregnant, but it is harmful to the body, but it can't be found out for a while, and the most important thing is that the children born after eating the Shengzi Pill are more or less deformed.

If Mrs. Chu gives birth to a disabled child, they can spread rumors that the child born to Mrs. Chu is unlucky and has been condemned or punished by heaven. In this way, even if the emperor favors her again, he will feel bad for her and fall out of favor That is inevitable.

Even if the emperor still dotes on her, they can make a big fuss about this point and attack Mrs. Chu wantonly, and they can't shake her status.

At that time, Lu Cairen can take the opportunity to take the position.

Could it be that there was something wrong with Shengzi Pill that Mrs. Chu showed signs of being poisoned, so Mother Fang was implicated?

However, if this is the case, Wu Qingbo's mansion, who donated the medicine, should also be implicated, and Mrs. Lu is a little confused.

"How can I not be in a hurry, who knows if Mother Fang will reveal the details of our family?" Mrs. Ye said anxiously, "Look, can you find a way to rescue Mother Fang?"

"Madam, don't worry, these believers are very strict with their mouths, and they will never leak it easily." Mrs. Lu was not worried about this at all.

As for saving someone from Jin Yiwei?That was wishful thinking.Didn't it fail the previous time?
"It's just that after this incident, Lu Cairen's hope will come to nothing again." Lu said.

"Where do you start with this?" Just as Ye Shi was relieved, she brought it up again, and asked in surprise, "Since Mother Fang won't reveal our details, and we won't be implicated in her accident, is it possible that Mrs. Chu will go back on what she says? ?”

Mrs. Lu knew that she had slipped her mouth, because Mrs. Ye didn't know the true effect of Shengzi Pill, but she quickly realized and said calmly: "Madam, my daughter-in-law is worried, and Mrs. Chu's death You must be in a bad mood, and you may not be in the mood to mention this matter to His Majesty."

Mrs. Ye glanced at her suspiciously, reluctantly believed her explanation, and said, "If His Majesty still doesn't favor talented people in a few days, then I will have no choice but to come to Mrs. Chu to discuss an explanation." Her gift It wasn't a free gift, she paid a lot of money to buy it.

Lu suddenly couldn't speak, he didn't know how to dissuade her, so he could only smile bitterly in his heart.

Forget it, when she really wants to come to ask for an explanation, I'll try to persuade her, the worst thing is to tell her about Sheng Zidan.Even if Mrs. Ye was angry that she helped outsiders cheat her of money, she couldn't care less, and she couldn't really come to her door to humiliate herself.

Changwuhou Mansion.

In the Songhe courtyard, there was a burst of laughter.

It has been a long time since the Hou Mansion has been so lively.

The second wife Hong, the third wife Tao, the eldest lady Huo Lingyun, and a group of confidants were all talking with Mrs. Wang Tai.

Because they are all their own people, they have no scruples when speaking.

Mrs. Wang Tai smiled and said: "So, to be a man, you have to be safe, especially as a woman. Don't be like some people who are restless and know how to seduce men all day long. Even if you are loved all the time, so what? I’m afraid it’s not such a good life to enjoy.”

"The old lady is right, that's the reason." The third wife Tao Shi echoed with a smile, "Nowadays, all the empresses in the palace can't understand her, even a person as good-natured as the empress is given to her by her." If you get annoyed, you will know how unpopular she is, and she deserves this kind of fate. God should have accepted her early for a disaster like her. "

The other girls and women naturally knew who they were talking about, but they didn't dare to say it, so they could only laugh along with them.

The second wife, Mrs. Hong, can't stand Tao's arrogance. After taking care of the house for a few days, she really thinks that she is a dish. She doesn't even have an order. Even Mrs. Chu dares to say, who gave it to her? courage?
So he said with a smile on his face: "Third brothers and sisters had better be careful what they say. You curse Mrs. Chu like this, aren't you afraid that disaster will come out of your mouth? It doesn't matter if you kill yourself, don't implicate us."

"Hong Shi, you just like to fight against me, don't you?" Tao said with a look of disgust and displeasure, "I know, look at my housekeeper, you are convinced, but you don't need to bury me like this? Besides, Here are all our own people, how could it leak out?"

However, Mrs. Hong sneered, and said disapprovingly: "The third younger siblings may have forgotten an old saying, that the wall has ears, and maybe that ear is here. I am afraid that the words you said will reach those who care about it by night." In the ear. I didn't bury you, I just warned you. Mrs. Chu is not something we can slander at will, let alone you curse her, she is no longer what she used to be, she wants to deal with us, but it is just a word Things. She didn't take action against us, we should be thankful, I didn't expect that you would take the initiative to seek death, I have never seen such a person who wants to seek death. "

"Where did I curse her?" Tao was startled and frightened in his heart, and his face turned green and white, but he still said sternly: "What I said is the truth, it is rumored that she was poisoned, not to mention that she is a Damn, can't I even tell the truth?"

After Mrs. Wang heard Hong's words, she was very offended, because she was obviously scolding Tao, but she also scolded her, and immediately said with a cold face: "Hong, what nonsense are you talking about? We And if you didn’t mention Dao’s surname, don’t put these things on Madam Chu’s head. What’s the matter with our gossip? If you don’t like listening to it, get out, I don’t welcome you here.”
