Daughter's favorite concubine: Don't come here, the black-bellied prince

Chapter 34 Using him to deal with Xiao Yi

After stepping over the brazier, Mrs. Feng re-entered the room, greeted Xin Meng respectfully, and lowered her head slightly to wait for Xin Meng to ask questions.

Xinmeng was not in a hurry to speak, and looked at Feng Shi seriously.She calls herself an old slave, but she is actually only a few years older than Zhao Dan'e, less than 40 years old, which is when her charm still exists.Because during the filial piety period, she wore a dark blue double-breasted skirt, except for a plum blossom silver hairpin inserted in her hair, she had no other jewelry on her body.

Since she was sensible, Xinmeng has always respected this nanny, and she is better than Songchun and Yingxia in the supply of food and clothing.But today Feng's making such a fuss made Xinmeng feel a little nervous.

Mrs. Feng said that Yingxia regarded herself as the master of Fuyun Courtyard. In fact, this sentence did not reflect Feng's own inner thoughts. Assuming that she is the nanny of the young lady, even if she is not the master, she is at least half the master. .

The eldest lady kept silent, Feng Shi was a little restless, but she didn't dare to talk nonsense like before.Coming back this time, she felt that there seemed to be an invisible sense of alienation between her and the young lady whom she had watched grow up.

Feng thought it was Yingxia and the others who spoke ill of her in front of Xinmeng when she was not around, and there seemed to be a ball of anger in her heart, but she couldn't vent it.She didn't expect that since Xinmeng was reborn, she would always remind herself to know people with eyes, and not to be deceived by illusions like in her previous life, and finally ended up in a tragic death.

In her anxiety, Feng couldn't help but secretly glanced at the silent Xinmeng, then quickly lowered her head.

At this time, Xinmeng finally spoke: "I remember my mother gave Feng's mother half a year's leave, why did you come back early?"

Hearing Xinmeng's question, Feng answered without hesitation: "Miss, I haven't seen Miss for many months, so I'm thinking about it. Seeing that everything at home has been done, I decided to come back early to serve Miss."

Xin Meng didn't believe the reason she said, she frowned slightly, and without beating around the bush, she asked directly: "Is it because the money given by mother is not enough for the job?"

Although she asked this way, Xinmeng knew it very clearly.Before Feng returned home, Zhao Dan'e sympathized with her and asked her to advance half a year's wages, and gave her 20 taels of silver for the funeral.

Feng's in-law's family is in the countryside. There were originally six people in the family, father-in-law, mother-in-law, husband, Feng and two sons.When Xinmeng was born, Feng entered the General's Mansion as a nanny, and later stayed in the General's Mansion.Her husband plows a few acres of Susukida during the busy season, and goes up to the mountains to pick mountain products during the off-season. He lives comfortably, but is not rich enough.It is conceivable that as long as there is no fuss, 20 taels of silver is enough to finish everything, and there may even be some balance.

"That's enough, that's enough. This time, thanks to the madam who gave me 20 taels of silver to handle the matter, I managed to handle the father-in-law's affairs decently." Feng replied in a hurry, and carefully glanced at Xinmeng, "The old slave just told the big brother To tell the truth, Miss, the old slave's family has a large population, and the money earned by the old slave and her husband is used to support the family. There has never been any savings, and if you stop your hands, you will stop talking. , and still owes half a year's wages to the mansion. The old slave feels uneasy, thinking that the sooner he comes back to serve the eldest lady, the sooner he can pay off the debt, and it is not intentional to bring bad luck back to Fuyun courtyard."

She intuited that the purpose of Feng's early return this time was definitely not as simple as what she said, but Feng's statement was reasonable and Xinmeng could not find any flaws.

Thinking about it again, the Feng family is a bit dependent on the old, but he has never done anything out of line for many years.She couldn't doubt Feng's loyalty just because of some unfounded guesses.

Therefore, Xinmeng smiled lightly: "Mother Feng is good to me, I always know that. I have worked hard all the way, let's go to rest today."

Only then did Feng secretly heave a sigh of relief, thinking that he had finally passed the test, he hurriedly said his goodbyes, and withdrew.

"Missy, do you believe what Feng's mother said?" Yingxia, who had been holding back for a long time, couldn't help asking after Feng Shi left.

Xinmeng didn't answer Yingxia's question directly, but instead asked her: "Do you have any real evidence to prove that Feng's mother is lying?"

"The servant has no real evidence, but feels that there is something wrong with Feng's mother coming back this time. When she speaks, her eyes are flickering and erratic. She must have a guilty conscience and have something to hide from the eldest lady."

Although there was a conflict with Feng's before, Yingxia was not worried that the eldest lady would think too much, and expressed her thoughts without any scruples.

Xinmeng really didn't think about retaliation, because she also saw what Yingxia said with her own eyes.This involuntarily made her pay attention to Feng Shi.

"Yingxia, find a reliable little maid to pay attention to Mama Feng's actions." After thinking for a while, she said, "Don't follow too closely, lest Mama Feng notice it. You tell that maid, once Mama Feng has something Report abnormal behavior immediately.

"The servant girl knows, let's arrange it now."

After Ying Xia left, Song Chun, who had been standing by the side without making a sound, suddenly said: "If the young lady is worried about something wrong with Mama Feng, this servant can find someone to investigate Mama Feng's every move in the past few months, and who has she had contact with?" .”

Xinmeng wasn't surprised at all, because she knew that Songchun was a member of Qiling Pavilion first, and her maidservant second.

She thought for a moment, then nodded and agreed with Songchun's proposal: "It's good if the investigation is clear. If she is innocent, I can rest assured that I don't need to guard against her. If she is not innocent, I can also take precautions early."

I hope that I am overthinking, Xinmeng thought, I really don't want Mama Feng to be used to do bad things, especially I don't want her purpose of coming back this time to hurt the child in her mother's womb.

After Songchun left, only Xinmeng was left in the room.She was sitting on the soft couch by the window, staring at the green bamboos by the wall in a trance, and suddenly remembered Xiao Lang's unbearable expression and embarrassment when he said the words "clear water and clear lotus, both clear and beautiful" in the gazebo of the prime minister's mansion. tone.

In the previous life, before she was about to die, he made a stunning appearance and personally led a mighty army of [-] to the north, invincible, until he was forced to the south gate of the capital, completely subverting the stereotype of him from the Shang court.

At that time, she used the most elite spies of Qi Ling Pavilion to find out his real strength.When she went to the Great Zhou military camp to mediate with Chu Mingxuan, the spy's information was sent to the palace through a secret channel, but she never saw it.

Therefore, even if she wants to break her head now, what she remembers is the idle prince in the previous life who didn't care about political affairs and spent more than 300 days a year traveling around the country.She didn't know whether he was relying on the counterattack army that the late emperor had prepared in advance because he had already noticed the seventh prince's ambition, or whether his prestige was so high that people wanted him to respond to everyone's wishes.

Maybe, she can use him to deal with Xiao Yi.

　The eighth prince is so pitiful, he will be used by Mengmeng to deal with the scumbag.Guess, does the Eighth Prince mind being used?
