Phoenix Fight: The First Concubine

Chapter 22
On the other hand, Murong Wei went to Yun Pavilion, and Mother Du saw her from a distance, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet her.

"How is Auntie now?" she asked in a low voice.

Mother Du looked around, but did not make a sound, and the two entered the main hall. Murong Wei caught a glimpse of Aunt Zhou sitting half-lying on the kang in the inner room, and hurriedly opened the bead curtain to go in: "Have you eaten, Auntie?"

When Aunt Zhou saw it was her, she smiled, "I've eaten, why are you here so late?"

Murong Wei saw that her expression was a bit uneasy, grabbed her right hand, and sighed: "Auntie, I just came back from my uncle's house, uncle..."

Aunt Zhou was taken aback: "What's wrong with your uncle?"

"Uncle fell seriously ill and is now unconscious."

Aunt Zhou turned pale with shock: "How could it be, your uncle has always been in good health, why did he suddenly become like this?"

As soon as he said that, tears fell down.

Mother Du was also a little surprised: "My uncle is unconscious, what should I do?"

Murong Wei glanced at the girl who was serving and standing beside her, "I asked my grandmother just now, and she said that you and I should visit my uncle's house again."

Mother Du sent the maids away, and went to guard the door by herself.

Murong Wei whispered in Aunt Zhou's ear: "Don't worry, Auntie, Uncle is fine, this is just an excuse."

Aunt Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, wiped away her tears, and gave her a sideways look: "You girl scares me."

"Auntie scared me, do you have a baby?" She asked with a smile.

Aunt Zhou blushed slightly, and murmured: "I'm not sure yet, but it's almost the same as when I was pregnant with you back then, so it shouldn't be wrong."

Murong Wei said happily: "That's great, it seems that the medicine is also effective after taking it."

"No, I really want to thank that doctor." Aunt Zhou said with joy on her face.

"Auntie, lie down, and I'll talk to you." Murong Wei served her on the sapphire blue floral pillow, "Don't move around."

Aunt Zhou couldn't laugh or cry: "You child, you don't understand, mother has given birth to a child anyway."

Murong Wei smiled and pulled her right hand, deliberately distracting her from talking, Aunt Zhou didn't notice anything else, after a while, Murong Wei withdrew her hand.

She just took her pulse, and saw that the false pulse was ups and downs, it really looks like a happy pulse, but the month is still young, so it's not very sure.

Although she knows medical skills, she is not good at everything. After all, every doctor is good at different things. Some are good at gynecology, some are pediatrics, and internal medicine.

Moreover, she didn't want to tell the secret of her medical skills, one must have some trump cards.

Aunt Zhou got tired after talking, and fell asleep while talking.

Murong Wei left quietly, and when she arrived at the door, she pulled Mother Du and spoke softly: "I really have the look of looking at my aunt. You must be careful and careful in the past three months, and wait until the tire is stable. I asked my mother to pay attention to it before." How do you investigate the people in the courtyard? Those who are not in the right mind should be cleaned up as soon as they should be cleaned up, and don't make big mistakes because of small things."

Mother Du nodded and said, "This servant girl also knows that now is the critical time, so she will naturally cheer up 12 points. The servant girl knows it, but it's not easy to make too much movement..."

"I believe you also have some means to deal with them. Some maids really can't control them. It's time to get married. Some are just trying to make money. If you can buy them, you can buy them. If there are fewer people, and some strange girls are brought in, it's even worse. Knowing the nature of the heart, who knows what troubles will be caused. I see if I can let my uncle find a woman who knows some medical skills to follow my aunt, and try everything I eat..."

She gave detailed instructions, and Mother Du nodded her head repeatedly. She felt that the young lady was a very clever and resourceful person, but Aunt Zhou couldn't understand it, so she begged her brother instead.

Murong Wei sat for a while before leaving.

Today is really a bit tired, and there is no time to rest for a whole day.

After returning to Mo Garden for dinner, Murong Wei sat on the kang by the window after taking a bath, meditating on the scroll, Xiang Tao took the beauty and beat her leg: "Miss, you are exhausted today, I heard from Sister Lu'er , The lady was in danger on the way to the uncle's house, and the horse was frightened? Fortunately, His Royal Highness Luo saved you."

Xiangtao looked at her with a smile, and gossip flashed in her eyes: "What a coincidence, Miss met His Royal Highness Luo Wang again, isn't it all about heroes saving the beauty in the drama?"

Murong Wei scolded with a smile: "You little hoof, are you taking care of my affairs?"

Speaking of which, she thought of today's incident, even if she didn't mention it, those little maids who waited on her would report it to her superiors, the old lady had warned her, but this kind of thing happened, she really had the guts to say no Cleared up.

It's just that if she encountered such a thing today, if she hadn't asked King Luo for help at that time, she didn't know what would have happened later.

She would not tell the story of her being hijacked.

He insisted that the horse was frightened and rescued by King Luo, that's all.

Xiangtao said with a smile: "My dear lady, she is what she is. Is His Royal Highness Luo interested in Miss? If you marry into the palace, won't you be the best married sister?"

Murong Wei glared at her: "Lord Luo, what kind of woman has never seen before, can he fall in love with me? Besides, you thought it would be fine to marry into the palace of the king. He has so many ladies from famous families who he would not choose, so why should he choose me? You Master, do I have the qualifications, I will not be a concubine for others."

Xiangtao pouted, thinking about it, it was true, her master's status was neither high nor low, why would King Luo take a fancy to her.If the side concubine is still possible, but the main wife, then... Even Luo Wang himself may not be able to make the decision.

"But I think Miss is very smart, maybe..."

Murong Wei tapped her head: "Okay, stop thinking about it, I'm going to sleep."

After finishing speaking, he got off the kang, put down his book and went into the inner room to rest.

Xiangtao helps her fall asleep and stays vigil in the house.

Although Murong Wei lay down, her mind was still thinking about what happened today.

Too many things happened today, and she needs to think about it.

Early the next morning, Murong Wei hadn't woken up long before seeing Yun Xiang who was beside the old lady approaching.

"Miss San, the old lady invites you to go over."

Murong Wei thought in her heart, here she is, she really wants to ask her.

She smiled and put down the bowl: "Sister Yunxiang, please sit down for a while, and I will let you go to see grandma."

Rue Xiang glanced at the room, but she didn't see how luxurious it was, but it was very warmly and elegantly furnished. A bouquet of white chrysanthemums blooming leisurely was inserted in the blue and white porcelain flower-and-bird pattern on the wall, which lingered in the fragrance. The cushions on the chairs were embroidered very uniquely. Several very cute puppies fight.

Yun Xiang smiled and said, "Lu'er, the pattern of this cushion is really interesting, I've never seen this dog before."

Lu'er pointed to the cushion and said, "Sister Yunxiang, this lady thought about it, drew the shape, and let Aunt Yue embroider it. I've never seen a dog like this before, and the lady said it's a cute version."

Murong Wei finished tidying up, saw the two of them looking around the cushion, said with a smile: "It's just that the painting methods are different, if elder sister Yunxiang likes it, let Lu'er give you the look."

It was just that she drew a few cartoon dogs in her free time, which made them happy.

Yun Xiang was a little surprised that Murong Wei still had this talent, she thought for a while and quickly said, "Miss San, thank you very much. I just thought that the old lady might like it."

Murong Wei's expression changed: "How about this, I still have some newly embroidered mats, and the patterns are relatively fresh, why don't sisters take them to grandma."

Yun Xiang smiled and thanked, Lu'er and Xiangyu took the mat, put it in a red lacquer box, and went to the old lady together.

Murong Wei followed her out of the ink garden, asking casually, how old she is, what she likes to do on weekdays, who else is in the family, Yun Xiang answered one by one.

The autumn morning was rather cold, Murong Wei covered her eyebrows and asked: "I don't know what grandma summoned me for, and if it was because of my natal family's affairs, I'm really worried."

Rue Xiang also heard about Lord Zhou's serious illness, so she weighed it for a moment, "Old Madam just heard that Miss San was frightened in the street yesterday, so she just wanted to ask about it."

Murong Wei was surprised: "Is it because of this, how can I make grandma worry, it's not a big deal."

Yun Xiang smiled and said: "Miss San, this is not a trivial matter. Everyone was surprised when the old lady told the old man about it."

Murong Wei's eyes flickered, she smiled and stuffed a purse into Rue Xiang's hands calmly: "Sister said, I was also a little frightened yesterday, I heard that there was a murder in the capital yesterday?"

Rue Xiang didn't refuse, feeling that the purse was quite heavy, so she accepted it.

For people like them, not all gifts are accepted, some things can be said, and some things cannot be said.Not to mention anything else, she is very optimistic about the third lady. During this period of contact, she feels that the old lady also admires the third lady, so her attitude is naturally different from others.

"No, it's scary to death. I heard that it was the family of Huguang Qinglisi Langzhong, who was wiped out in broad daylight. It's really scary."

Murong Wei was startled, that murderer was so terrifying?
He actually committed such a big case, I'm afraid it caused a sensation in the capital, and he was too arrogant. He went out to destroy people all over the house during the day, and he didn't know who was so cruel.

Several people sighed, and went to the old lady's place, the old lady had already woken up and was eating.

"Granddaughter greets grandmother." Murong Wei saluted respectfully, but stood aside without speaking.

The old lady took a look at her and sent away the people around her, leaving only Zhang Qian's family to serve her.

"Did you startle on the road yesterday?"

Murong Wei nodded: "Yes, grandma, at that time..." She told the general situation, just plain and straightforward, without any embellishment. I believe that the old lady has asked the maids who followed her before, so she should know We all know.

The old lady nodded after listening to her words, and put down the silver spoon in her hand, "So, King Luo talked to you first?"

"Yes, Your Highness is a noble person, so how dare my granddaughter disturb her? My granddaughter has always remembered what my grandmother said before. What happened at that time, my granddaughter didn't know if it was the villain who mistook my car, so..."

In fact, the old lady also had this suspicion. Yesterday she discussed with the old man and the old man, and heard from the old man that the soldiers from Wucheng Army and Horse Division caught a man who committed suicide by taking poison and took him back to the yamen as an attack on the prince's car.

According to her, she was also implicated by Luo Wang, but Luo Wang's attitude was too intimate, which made their family very suspicious.

"Okay, King Luo saved you anyway, and your father will personally thank you. As for King Luo, I told you before."

Murong Wei nodded: "Granddaughter understands."

Seeing that she was very sober and did not lose her mind because of the grace of saving her life, the old lady was very satisfied, "You are also a smart child, so I won't say much about grandma. Let's go to Zhou's house with Aunt Zhou."

Murong Wei resigned, and went out with Aunt Zhou with a four-color gift box as usual in the house.

Rue Xiang came over with some ginger-yellow and scarlet cushions, "Look, old lady, how about these cushions?"

The old lady took it over and looked at it: "This pattern is interesting, where did you get it?"

"When I went to Miss San, I saw that the cushions in their room were very unique. I asked about it. It turned out that it was painted by Miss San. It was made by someone. I thought it was very fresh. Miss San sent a few over to give you."

Zhang Qian's family echoed: "Look at these cats and dogs, they are really interesting to draw, they are vivid and human-like. Miss San is really good at drawing."

The old lady liked it very much, "That girl is a little clever."

"It really looks like you. Didn't the old lady like to draw when she was young?" Zhang Qianjia said with a smile.

The old lady looked at her amusedly: "But you can talk."

"Old madam, happy event, great happy event." The eldest maid Yun Meng ran in beamingly, and kowtowed: "Old madam, great joy."

"Oh, where does the joy come from?"

"Just now, Bo Ning's family invited the second wife of Uncle Yongchang's family to be Baoshan, and proposed marriage to our second young lady for the fourth son of their family."

The old lady was really surprised, "The fourth son of Uncle Jianning's family? I remembered, he was born of Uncle Jianning's stepmother, Qin Yongning, right?"

Zhang Qianjia nodded: "The old lady has a really good memory, but she is the young master."

The old lady had a smile on her face, and she said happily: "This is really a rare and good marriage. Uncle Jianning gave birth to a son, and this second wife gave birth to the third son, the fourth son and a young lady. I heard that this son I also have fame and fame, so good, I never thought that their family would be willing to marry Yue girl."

The old lady is really happy. Although Jianning Bo's family has been keeping a low profile these years, they should not be underestimated.This fourth son is a legitimate son, and he still has a great reputation. He will not be able to inherit the title in the future, but he will live a worry-free life.

With Murong Yue's identity, where can she find such a good marriage.

Immediately, the eldest lady was invited over to ask, the eldest lady did not expect that their family would beg Murong Yue, and she did not refuse, she vaguely showed that she was willing to get married, and she would discuss it with the master.

The second wife of Uncle Yongchang's family left happily, and the first lady mentioned this matter to Master Murong when he came home at noon, he was also very surprised.

Thinking about it, I feel that this marriage is really good. First, I sent someone to check Qin Yongning's conduct. If there is no problem, the marriage is probably settled.

Anyway, big families never discuss relatives casually, there are many rules.

On the other hand, Murong Wei and Aunt Zhou went to Zhou's house, and there was no need to say much about it. After they were dispatched to leave, Mrs. Zhou invited a doctor over. Murong Wei saw that it was the same Doctor Wang from last time.

Aunt Zhou was also a little surprised when she saw that it was Doctor Wang, "It turned out to be Doctor Wang, why..."

Mrs. Zhou smiled and said: "Silly sister, it is a doctor who sees doctors everywhere. I heard that this doctor Wang is good at medicine, so I invited him here."

Aunt Zhou didn't think much about it, but she really believed in the doctor's methods, and after he took the pulse, she really showed joy: "Congratulations madam, it is indeed a happy pulse, but the month is still young, so it's not very obvious."

Everyone's faces were filled with joy, Mrs. Zhou gave a lot of consultation money, and then she took Aunt Zhou's hand and said, "Sister, I really congratulate you!"

Although Aunt Zhou had guessed before, she was still very happy at the moment, with a smile all over her face: "Sister-in-law, thanks to you and elder brother for helping me."

Master Zhou also looked at his sister with a smile: "What are you talking about, you are so polite to me. It's just that you can't stay at my house, otherwise I really want you to stay until after giving birth."

Murong Wei was also smiling: "I will definitely take good care of my mother."

Master Zhou looked at her lovingly, and gave her some advice, that's all.

While talking, the second and third masters also came, as well as the second and third aunts.

Seeing Aunt Zhou, they all went forward to inquire. Seeing that Master Zhou was still lying on the bed, the second master couldn't help frowning: "Brother, why is this disease so serious? There was a big case in the capital yesterday, maybe Dali Temple will investigate it."

The third aunt had a long face, bulging eyes, and was wearing an ice-green gown covered in golden flowers. She smiled and said, "That's right, you're sick when you say you're sick? It's strange. Do you want to invite your wife?" Is Wei Zhenren coming to the house to take a look?"

The third master glared at her: "Look at what, the imperial doctor can't even see it, but what he can see, it's amazing."

The third aunt changed the subject with a smile, looked at Murong Wei, took a few glances, and said, "Sister Wei is an eighteenth-generation girl, and she is more beautiful. I have heard a lot of things today. Zhang Weitian's doctor yesterday The family was destroyed, King Luo came back from Baoguo Temple to pay respects to the Buddha, and was attacked again, I heard that sister Wei's horse was shocked at that time, and was rescued by His Royal Highness Luo, but is it true?"

"What, Wei'er, you had an accident yesterday, are you injured?" Aunt Zhou's complexion changed drastically, and she anxiously pulled her up and down to look.

Murong Wei frowned, feeling annoyed in her heart, this third aunt was really not a good friend, she didn't want to tell Aunt Zhou because she was afraid she would be worried, but she was fine, she purposely made it clear.

It's her fault for teaching a daughter who doesn't understand the rules to spoil her blindly.

"That's enough, what nonsense are you talking about?" The third master's face was livid with anger, and Mrs. Zhou was even more worried about supporting Aunt Zhou. She is pregnant and can't be stimulated by anything.

"Mother, I'm fine, I'm not hurt at all, but the horse was startled, ran out for a while, and then stopped quickly. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to come to uncle's house yesterday." She comforted softly.

Only then did Aunt Zhou breathe a sigh of relief, and said angrily, "Don't tell me anything like this happened."

Murong Wei smiled and said nothing, Mrs. Zhou saw the second master winking at her, and hurriedly took the two sisters-in-law out, and took Aunt Zhou away, saying that she would let her see some nephews and nieces.

Master Zhou also sat up, opened the curtain, and said angrily: "Third son, turn around and take care of the one in your family. See what she is talking about?"

The third master was also a little helpless: "Brother, it's not that you don't know her temper, she always speaks without hiding it." He asked, "Is my sister really pregnant?"

Murong Wei smiled and said, "Yes, I really want to thank you uncles."

The second master also laughed. It seems that they all knew about it, and the eldest lady also knew about it, but the others didn't know about Master Zhou's pretending to be sick.

"That's good. By the way, Sister Wei asked you to tell me about your distress yesterday. Is it true that King Luo was attacked?" Master Zhou also wanted to know what happened.

Murong Wei could only selectively tell what happened at that time.

"Why didn't you tell me that the person in the car was the third lady of Murong's family?" A deep and angry voice echoed in the hall. A pair of bright eyes as bright as stars.

There were a group of men and women kneeling in the hall, and two of the women said with a bitter face: "My lord, the situation was urgent at that time. We only saw the car of Murong's family and a young woman showing her head. We didn't pay so much attention. Besides, we didn't Know who she is."

Knowing that his subordinates are telling the truth, the man in the seat is still upset. Yesterday's meeting shocked the horse, and I don't know if she is hurt?

"Old Huang committed suicide by taking poison, and his body was taken away by the people from Bingmasi." Another man said in a deep voice, "Young master, after this incident came out, there was too much publicity. The higher-ups seemed to be very angry and ordered a thorough investigation of the case."

The corner of the mouth was slightly hooked, with a trace of sarcasm: "Check, let me see how they check. As for Lao Huang, alas, he has no relatives. If you can't get the body back, you can set up a tomb for him."

Everyone was a little sentimental for a while.

"Don't come out during this time, you all go down." After finishing speaking, the man got up and walked into the banquet room in Dongci Room.

After everyone left, the man poured a cup of tea, looked at the clear tea soup, and said coldly: "It's time to collect the debts from that year, and no one can escape."

With a sneer in his heart, would those people be afraid? Even if they were afraid, it would be useless. They have endured humiliation all these years, and what they are waiting for is today.

Thinking of Murong Wei, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile, even though he was very surprised to see her yesterday, he didn't want to choose her as a hostage, and he didn't want to scare her, but the situation at that time no longer allowed him to choose.

But if it wasn't for this, it would be very difficult for him to see such an absolutely wonderful performance. Murong Wei, you are really an extraordinary woman. If I didn't recognize you, someone else would definitely be fooled by your performance. If I'm going to Dongping Street, I'm afraid it will fall into Luo Wang's hands long ago!

Seeing her shy look towards Luo Wang at that time, thinking about it really made him very... unhappy!
That feeling was very uncomfortable and made him feel unable to control his emotions.

She must not really like King Luo, she must be pretending!

However, thinking of her stunned appearance at the end made him feel even more happy and shouted happily.

Who made her dare to play tricks on him like this? If he hadn't noticed that she was different, how could she have been defeated?

The man took off the mask and threw it aside, his beautiful handsome face was full of smiles, his chin was tilted, his bright black eyes were like twinkling stars, "Murong Wei, we will meet again."

Having said that, his heart was pounding, and he really wanted to see her now.

This idea took root in his mind, and for a while he was full of this idea, walking up and down the room, after a while, put on a mask, and left in a hurry.

That night, Murong Wei and Aunt Zhou had just returned from Zhou's house when they heard the news that Uncle Jianning's family had proposed to Second Miss.Murong Wei was also very surprised, Qiu Fang could do nothing but like to inquire about gossip, and she was talking to Murong Wei at this moment.

"I heard that he was also admitted to Juren in this subject. He is in the same subject as our young master. I heard that both of them have good character and appearance. Second Miss is really lucky to have this marriage."

Murong Wei smiled and said, "Second Sister has such a good temper, anyone who marries her is a blessing."

Uncle Jianning... Isn't it Qin Yao's family?

Last time, she felt that Qin Yao was very enthusiastic about her second sister, and she always felt a little strange. Now, she feels that there is something she doesn't know?

Could it be that Bo Jianning's family fell in love with the second sister, so they let Qin Yao approach her to observe her behavior?

No matter what, this is a good marriage. If the young master is really good-natured and famous, at least he will have a safe future, and the second sister is a smart person. Even if he goes to Jianning Bo's house, he won't suffer.

Murong Wei was very happy for her second sister. Many of these things were ordered by her parents and the matchmaker's words. For her second sister, she had never liked any man before. This kind of getting along after marriage is the most common thing for women in this era, right? .

I don't know if she will be afraid to marry a stranger like this.
