The oath of rebirth not to be a concubine

Chapter 49 The Second Wife's Death

"Yes." Luzhu nodded, and I smiled slightly.

After eating a cup of sugar water, the drowsiness gradually hit. Seeing that it was sunny outside, they asked the two women to move the imperial concubine chair under the tree in the courtyard, leaned on the chair, and fell asleep warmly after a while.

She didn't wake up until Shen Shi, with a thin sheet on her body, and Qingteng was shaking her fan.Seeing me wake up, she hurriedly brought over a bowl of warm tea, I took a sip and felt comfortable.

Let her go into the room to get a miscellaneous talk, and after reading seven or eight pages, Luzhu came back.She retreated to the left and right, and said in a low voice, "Miss, the maidservant went to see it, and before the time came, the third lady called the carriage and said that she was going to Qing'an Temple to offer incense."

"Where is the second lady?" I asked.

Luzhu replied, "Second Madam has not been moving. The servant asked a servant in a roundabout way, saying that the Second Madam is taking a nap, but the servant has closed the doors and windows tightly. It's so hot in autumn at noon. What's the matter with taking a nap?" The window, I’m afraid they also sneaked out.”

I nodded, and turned the leaves of the book with peace of mind, without talking.

What to do now is to wait and see.

I asked Li Jiu to inquire about it a long time ago. Qing'an Temple is not big. The second wife likes Qing'an Temple because it is remote and has few pilgrims. Besides, it is the lotus behind the courtyard.

Last time, someone used a note that burned after seeing it to instruct her to clean up me. After hitting a soft nail, she must have been stubborn.

Now someone throws such a note and asks her to go to the temple she often visits, she naturally thinks a lot in her heart, and with her personality, after thinking about it, she will naturally go to see what happened.

And the second lady, since she can use this method to throw a note to the third lady, she has also contacted Mr. Yuliang in this way, otherwise, how could she, a woman from everyone, be so tricky?

Mr. Yuliang was in Qing'an Temple, and I pretended to be Mr. Yuliang's handwriting to ask the second wife to go to Qing'an Temple, and then the third wife also went.

Now in early autumn, the lotus flowers in the backyard of the temple have withered long ago, so naturally she will not go to the backyard again.

Qing'an Temple is just that big, so if you don't go to the backyard, you will naturally walk more in the Buddhist hall. Maybe you will meet the second lady who went to the temple secretly.

Although the third lady is reckless, she is not a fuel-efficient lamp.When I bumped into the second lady who never worshiped the Buddha, I naturally became suspicious. She had been to Qing'an Temple for a long time, so it would be clear if anyone would come to place the order today.

The two of them were already at odds with each other openly and secretly, and the grievances had been deep for many years. In addition, I ate the second lady's arowana last time and blamed it on the third lady. The relationship between the two of them was even broken.

Now throwing such a big handle to the third lady, Tao Shi may not be happy for a few days without me doing it.

In less than ten days and a half, the third wife will plan to expose Dow's scandal.

And I, just have to wait and see the show...

Smiling slightly, I took a sip of warm tea.

It's autumn, and it's cool in the morning and evening. Lvzhu asked people to move the chair back to the house and bring the fried medicine.After drinking the medicine, I rinsed my mouth with water, read a book for a while, and it was time for dinner again.

Luzhu had already prepared the meal, and whispered in a low voice while serving me the soup, saying that the third lady would come back just after the deadline, with a smile on her face...

After eating, Qingteng had already prepared a bath soup, soaked in the warm petals, which relieved a lot of fatigue.

After this time of cultivation, the scars on the body have receded a lot, and the several evil scars seem to have faded away. In a few months, maybe they will completely recede...

After soaking in the soup bath, sleepiness was dyed again, and I asked Lvzhu to wait for changing clothes, and I woke up at dawn.

The next day was another day to go to Qinglan Pavilion.I got up early to pack up and left in the same car with Su Qingxue.

Ordinary days always fly by quickly, and in the blink of an eye, another half a month has passed.

The door of Qinglan Pavilion is opened every seven days. During this period, the news is blocked, and the students can only study with peace of mind.So, after the housekeeper picked me up and Su Qingxue back to the mansion, I only found out that the second wife had a sudden and violent death three days ago. Su Hong was overly sad and had a heart attack. He was accompanied by Wu Wanhua and went to Nanshan Biezhuang yesterday. News of self-cultivation.

The mistress is not in the mansion, and the affairs of the mansion are temporarily handed over to the third lady.In terms of status, I am above her, so naturally I don't need to salute her.

This Tao family is also the second wife of the general's mansion, but there is no white silk hanging in the mansion, only a little spirit seat is set up in the side hall.I asked Qingteng, and she replied that Su Hong misses too much and is afraid of seeing things and thinking about others, that's why he doesn't allow the slightest trace of mourning in the mansion.In this way, it can be felt that the second lady has not left...

This kind of nonsense, just listen to it.You don't need to think about it, how much a good show I missed when I was in Qinglan Pavilion.

"Chu Qi, tell me what's going on with the second lady?"

Back in the courtyard, I called Chu Qi to the side.Last time I specifically asked her to pay attention to the situation of the second and third wives. This girl should know something.

Chuqi smiled and said, "Sister, you are not here, but you missed the big show!"

She moved a stool and sat next to me, and said, "Sister, people in the house don't know the inside story, and they all think that Dow died suddenly, but in fact, she was poisoned to death!"

She saw that I heard the interest, and immediately described again, "At noon that day, the third lady wore a lotus green robe and put on very beautiful makeup. She took Grandpa Hong to a tea shop outside, but it wasn't long before Master Hong He came back with a look of shit on his face.

In the afternoon, the Second Madam dismissed many slaves for some reason. I thought it was strange, so I took advantage of the darkness and hid on the old tree in front of her house along the wall. I wanted to see how she was doing, but I saw Mr. Hong green. Come here with a straight face.

They were talking in the room, their voices were not loud, and they were against the wind, so they couldn't hear what they were talking about, and when they saw Master Hong talking, they slapped the second lady severely.

The second lady got up on her knees and pulled the master's clothes, but the master slapped her back.Then he cursed something that was insulting to the general, shameless, etc., and finally flung his sleeves and left.

The second lady cried for a while, then went into the back room and changed into a new dress, went to the table and drank the bowl of things that grandpa left behind, then went back to the room and lay down.

I thought she was going to sleep, so I slipped back feeling bored, and the next day I heard that the second lady died of an emergency. "

I picked up the teacup and took a sip of the tea soup.

The matter was similar to what I thought. The third wife found out about Tao's scandal and tried to attract Su Hong to see it in person. She had expected that Su Hong would be furious and would divorce his wife immediately if he failed, but he did something even worse. kill.

But it's no wonder that Su Hong was angry. Over the years, he favored Tao Shi more than Wu Wanhua, who knew how many times he favored Tao Shi, but he still gave him color on his head, and no one could bear it.

The second wife is also self-inflicted, a good wife didn't do it, she went to Yulin Academy to find a jade-faced niche, so naturally she can't blame others for her fate.

The matter of the second wife has come to an end, and I indirectly took revenge for being almost killed.As for the third lady, we have no quarrel for the time being, as long as she doesn't come to find trouble, I won't touch her...

After breakfast, take a light nap, wake up in the afternoon, put on men's clothes and go out.First, I went to the casino for a walk, listened to Li Jiu's report on the situation, and then looked at the account book. The daily income has changed from a hundred taels to a thousand taels.

Li Jiu also said that when the gambling shop first took over, there were only a lot of customers on the first floor, and there were almost no people on the second and third floors. Lou's tables are getting better and better.

He also reported some things, nothing more than trivial matters, not worth mentioning, so I let him solve it by himself.

I asked him again, during this period of time, has anyone come looking for trouble, and he said that the casino has been opening smoothly until now, and no one has caused trouble.

There were almost 3 taels of silver in the gambling shop's account, and I withdrew 2 taels of it, leaving the rest to him to run. After giving some instructions, I left the gambling shop and went to Yinhonglou.

When I came out last time, the Yinhong Building had already been remodeled, and now, it is probably time to operate according to my instructions.

The back building used to be a big table against the wall, and the guest tables were gathered together. What the guests said while drinking and watching the dance, the back table could hear clearly.

I asked her to change the talent table to the middle, and the surrounding circle became a guest table.In this way, the distance between the two tables is large, and it is naturally much more convenient for the guests to speak.Moreover, the table was changed to the middle, and the guests of the private room and Tianzi shop on the second floor can see the table when they open the door, which adds to the interest.

What's more, it turns out that Hongye sang songs every day, and the songs she sang were all that she wanted to sing. I asked sister Lan to add a song selection program, and asked everyone to pay for the filming. Whoever has more money can call for Hongye. Sing what you want to hear.

Hongye is well-known, and she can sing her own songs, which is considered a different kind of flair. I guess there must be many people vying to spend this money.

When I arrived at the Yinhong Tower, it was the Peony girl's special performance. I asked Sister Lan directly to ask about the situation. head on.

I asked her, "How is it different here?"

She replied, "After the remodeling of the table, it has improved a lot. There are obviously more customers. The private room upstairs that has been vacant for a long time is also full every day, but the income has doubled, which is not yet achieved."

I said, "There is no rush, we will see the effect in January."

She nodded naturally.

What should be said has already been said, nothing to do, so I didn't go to see Hongye, I went out and turned right, went to a larger tea house, sat on the third floor by the window, ordered a pot of dragon balls, and quietly sipped tea fragrant.

Although it is sunny today, the sky is full of white clouds, and the pieces overlap like fish scales. It is very beautiful at a glance.

It seems that it has been a long time, and I haven't stayed in such a quiet post for a while...

"Lvzhu, let's go. Luzhu..." After drinking the tea, I wanted to ask Luzhu to pay, but she didn't respond after calling several times, so I had to increase my voice.

Luzhu was startled, and hurriedly went downstairs to pay the bill. I was a little curious about what she was looking at just now, so I went to where she was standing and looked down.

A black-topped carriage was parked under our window.

This carriage looks inconspicuous, but it is expensive.The roof is made of golden nanmu, the walls are made of red sandalwood, and the windows and curtains are embroidered with gold thread. The sun shines, low-key and luxurious.

"My lord, please get in the carriage." The groom seemed to have seen someone coming, and quickly took out a step stool inlaid with white jade from the side of the carriage and set it up. Not long after, a man in a white robe came out from the side, He stepped on the horse stool and reached out to lift the curtain of the car.

Strange, why do you feel that this person's back is so familiar?I seem to have seen it somewhere...

As if he sensed my gaze, the man in the moon white shirt stopped the hand holding the curtain, twisted his body slightly, and actually looked over...

Long hair in a crown, with two strands of sideburns hanging down, and a silver-horned mask covering most of her face...

It's him... the boss of Jucai Casino!

He seemed to have recognized me at the same time, his bright red lips curled up slightly, revealing a playful smile.

Last time, I felt that his smile was particularly annoying, but this time, I felt that his expression was very familiar, as if I had seen it somewhere.

With a thought, I turned around and went downstairs quickly. I went out to look, and there was no trace of the carriage...

"Young master, why are you running? What's the matter?" Luzhu hurriedly chased after her, and she couldn't help but ask me.

"Nothing, let's go."

"Oh..." Lu Zhu hurried back to get her things, and walked with me to the General's Mansion.I walked a few steps, thought about it but turned around again, looking at the open space where the carriage was parked just now, carefully recalling the man's turning back and laughing.

My feeling is not wrong, it was definitely not the first time I met him in the casino that day!
I must know this guy...

"Miss, what's wrong with you, did you forget something?" Lu Zhu asked.

I shook my head, "It's okay, let's go."

There was nothing wrong along the way, and soon arrived at the General's Mansion, cleaned up, washed, drank medicine and bathed, slept soundly, and returned to Qinglan Pavilion the next day.

Different from the chime drums for morning classes in the past, as soon as they entered the pavilion, there was a rush of bells from the bell tower in the distance. Some old students who entered the pavilion together ran towards the main hall quickly after hearing the bell, with faces The look is even more complicated.

Could it be that something happened?
