The ultimate rebirth of the abandoned woman

Chapter 694
"This……"

Xiao Nan slowly put down the letter paper, she tried her best to keep calm, but her heart was beating extremely fast, and her hands were trembling slightly.

This, this matter is too dangerous, and if you are not careful, it will affect the family, especially her own children.

But if you refuse——

Xiao Nan smiled bitterly. At this point in the matter, does she still have the right to refuse?
Gritting her teeth and clenching her fists, Xiao Nan picked up the letter again and read it word by word, lest she miss any important information, and every time she finished reading a sentence, she chewed it repeatedly to make sure she didn't misunderstand it.

After repeating this several times, Xiao Nan was finally sure that she really understood correctly.

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Nan picked up the ink ingot, grinded it lightly, then picked up a tube of Zihao pen, dipped it in enough ink, and began to write a reply.

Since she couldn't refuse, she could only obey. However, the tone of the letter was inquiring, and Xiao Nan had to write a solemn letter to reply whether he wanted it or not.

The hand holding the writing brush still trembled uncontrollably, the tip of the pen touched the snow-white letter paper, stabbed once, and the first word was written wrong.

With a bang, Xiao Nan crumpled the letter into a ball and threw it directly into a copper basin next to the desk.

This copper basin is not a trash can, but it is specially used to hold some discarded manuscripts and letters. Every time Xiao Nan leaves the study, he will personally burn the 'waste paper' in the copper basin.

Four or five sheets of letter paper were completely ruined before Xiao Nan finished writing the reply.

Looking at the balls of waste paper in the copper basin, Xiao Nan smiled wryly. After two lifetimes, her greatest achievement in ancient times was that she had learned a good handwriting. Now, it is only a reply letter of a dozen words. It took me two quarters of an hour to write, alas~~
After writing the reply letter and expressing our position, the next step is to implement it.

How can it be implemented?Who will help?She, should she tell Uncle Cui?

After all, this matter is related to the rise and fall of the entire Rongshou Hall. Although she is the mistress, the family must face major events, and the master Cui Youbo must not be bypassed.

Xiao Nan sat on the futon, thought and thought, finally picked up the brush and wrote another letter.

Folded the two letters, put them one by one into a special letter box, and then ordered someone to bring Xue Niangzi, Xiao Nan tied one of the letter boxes to its feet, and whispered a few words in its ear, "Xue Maiden" Nodding his head, he flapped his wings and flew out.

Looking at the little white spot in the night, Xiao Nan's mood was complicated and inexplicable, and he didn't know whether it was right for him to do so.

At the same time, in the Xiao family of Kaihuafang, the eldest princess sat on the head seat of the main room with a sinking face, a blank letter paper was spread out on the small table in front of her, and a brush dipped in ink was in her hand. .

Like her daughter, the Eldest Princess is also hesitating whether to tell the prince-in-law about this matter.

Maybe other princesses don't pay much attention to the son-in-law, but she and her husband have lived together for more than 30 years.

And this matter is not small, if she is not careful, the entire Xiao family will be dragged into the water by her.

Think about Baling, who was deprived of her title of princess. She only had some correspondence with He Lu, and she hadn't plotted against her with open flames. She ended up like this, and her children were also punished.

But for herself, the eldest princess bit her lower lip lightly, what she was going to do was something more serious than cooperating with the enemy.

If it is done, she will enjoy wealth and honor with the Xiao family forever.

But what about losing?

Although she has great confidence in accomplishing this task, the Eldest Princess has a habit of anticipating the worst outcome before planning something, and then taking more precautions, so as to avoid failure as much as possible.

What's more, if something happens, no matter if there is a slight mistake in any link, she, her husband, and children will be in doom.

Even if I didn't make any mistakes, and the enemy still has a trump card hidden there, I would still fail.

After hesitating again and again, the eldest princess still took up a pen and wrote a letter, and then ordered the kite at home to deliver the letter.

Standing in front of the window, looking at the pitch-black sky, the eldest princess asked in a low voice without turning her head: "Is there any reply from Qiao Mu?"

Behind her, a 40-year-old court lady hurriedly replied softly: "Not yet!"

The eldest princess frowned, what does Qiao Mu mean?Could it be that he retreated before the battle?

Impossible, the eldest princess herself vetoed this guess, she knows best what kind of temper her daughter has, maybe, maybe she is still thinking about it, but she will definitely stand on her side in the end.

Although the mother and daughter are not together, they are both hesitating, contemplating, and speculating.

But what they don't know is that on the high slope of Leyouyuan, there are more than a dozen strong men in black Hu suits lying in ambush at this time. All of them have serious expressions and hold a big bow in their hands. , always pay attention to the sky of the capital.

As long as a kite flies by, they will all shoot arrows and attack in unison, no matter what happens.

At their feet were two or three dead kites lying here and there.

And there were more than one similar archers in the capital, and there were more than two or three kites that were shot and killed that night.

……

The tormenting night was finally over, Xiao Nan almost didn't close his eyes all night, in the early morning, with two dark circles under his eyes, she came out to eat breakfast with a tired expression.

Several children were young and did not notice the mother's discomfort. As usual, they ate in a regular and quiet manner.

Yuzan and the others all frowned, their observation skills were excellent, and the object of observation was the master they were most familiar with, as long as there was something wrong with the master, they could tell.

However, they are servants after all, no matter how much they care about their master, they can't make mistakes.

After Xiao Nan and the children finished eating and drinking tea soup, Xiao Nan talked to the children with a strong smile, and let them go to school.

Regarding the enlightenment of the quadruplets, after some deliberation, Xiao Nan finally hired Gao Xingzhi, a famous scholar with profound knowledge and excellent morals, and set up a small courtyard in the vestibule so that the children could go to school at home.

Gao Mingshi is over fifty years old and not very famous, but he likes to travel and is not rigid, so it is most suitable for him to teach enlightened children.

Afterwards, Xiao Nan saw that Chang Shun was very well-behaved, and Jin Zhi had always been very witty, so he took Chang Shun to the class together.

As for the girls, in addition to attending Gao Xingzhi's class, they also had to attend the boudoir class of female wives.

When Mrs. Yang passed away, in addition to leaving a pot of flower arrangements for Xiao Nan, she also left a few well-educated, insightful, and well-born ladies. These people were either never married or their husbands were young. died, but the situation is the same, they have no family to rely on.

Mrs. Yang is kind-hearted, and she can't bear their homelessness and misery in the future, so she asks Xiao Nan to take care of them.

Xiao Nan's academy has Deyintang, which is exactly what it needs for high-quality female masters.Xie Zhao, Lu Yun, Xu Wan and Gu Yao, who were invited from Mrs. Yang last time, are now teaching in Deyintang, and they are very loved and respected by the young ladies.

There are not many female students in Deyintang, but Xiao Nan has the confidence to make it bigger, so even if she doesn't need so many female teachers now, she is willing to reserve a few more first.

If one day the number of students in Deyintang increases and they have to be divided into classes like Qiusuotang's class, the teacher she prepared in advance will come in handy.

Not to mention, there are two girls in Xiao Nan's family who need to be raised.

So, at that time Xiao Nan readily agreed, and very solemnly wrote invitations to the ladies, sincerely inviting them to come to Cui's house to be his wives.

Seeing Xiao Nan attaching so much importance to her, the ladies were moved and said that they would come to Cui's house after seeing Mrs. Yang off for the last time.

Sure enough, when they personally followed the funeral procession and watched Mrs. Yang and her late husband be buried together, after returning to the capital, they rushed to the Rongshou Hall with the salutes they had packed in advance.

Since Xiao Nan decided to respect the female wives, he would not let them come by themselves. After inquiring about the date of the Yang family's return to Beijing, he ordered someone to drive a carriage and wait in an alley near the Yang family in advance.

When the ladies saw the carriage sent by the Cui family, they were even more moved. They decided immediately that they would do their best to do things for Mrs. Xiao.

With this idea in mind, several newly appointed female masters put extra effort into teaching, even if there were only two students, they still taught very hard.

As for Ah Mo and Ah Xiao, seeing that their masters were knowledgeable and good-natured, they obediently followed suit.

Especially Ah Mu, seeing such a good master, couldn't help feeling grateful to his aunt.

Although because of her status (Jiwei College is advertised as a noble college, Xiao Nan only accepts the children of the first-born because of the world situation), she can't go to Deyin Hall with her elder sister to study, and she feels somewhat disappointed.But seeing that the aunt still invited an equally good wife, although she was allowed to come, mostly to accompany Ah Xiao, Ah Mu was very satisfied.

At least, the aunt was willing to let her attend the class, and she came as a decent little girl, which was already extremely difficult.

A Niang said that one must be content and be grateful.Therefore, Ah Mu happily went to school every day, and took care of her sister-in-law more and more.

No, when it was time to go to school, she held her younger sister's hand, talking and laughing, and walked to the boudoir school together.

After dismissing the children, Xiao Nan's straight back instantly softened, and he leaned weakly on the hidden pouch, narrowing his eyes slightly and continuing to think about things.

She kept this posture until noon.

Absently eating lunch with the children, watching them go back to take a nap, Xiao Nan lay back on the couch again and continued to recline weakly.

Yuhan hurried in from the outside, knelt down in front of the couch, and said in a low voice: "Madam, the people outside have already found out who is secretly spreading rumors."

Xiao Nan's eyes widened suddenly, and he tried to sit up with one hand propping up his hidden pouch.

Yuzan hurriedly supported Xiao Nan with both hands, and waited for Xiao Nan to sit down.

Xiao Nan asked: "Who is it? Isn't it the Wu family?"

Yuhan nodded, shook her head again, and said: "The Wu family did participate, but she just found a few idlers in the market to spread the word in some unpopular places, and with the ability of those people, it is not enough to spread the rumors. It is known all over the city. It is another person who is really hiding behind the scenes to promote rumors."

Xiao Nan tightened his hand on the hidden pouch, "Who?" Besides Ping An, could there be other dignitaries involved.

If this is the case, then things will be troublesome!

Yuzan lowered her head, and said in a very low voice: "Yes, it is Cui Dezhi, and this person has recently gotten quite close to Li Jing, the husband of Princess Nanping..."
