Chapter 10 The Situation in the Mansion

Seeing the young lady's words, Taohua and Xinghua hurriedly responded: "Yes, young lady, rest assured, we will watch over and nothing will happen."

Miss Si has been waiting for Taohua's reply, and she is really lacking energy at this moment. Seeing that the two agreed, she didn't say much, she just pointed to the iceberg near Xiangfei's bed, and said: "I'll just squint for a while." , don’t go to bed, move this iceberg farther away, otherwise the cold air will be unbearable when you fall asleep.”

Taohua looked at Xiangfei's couch, then looked at Miss, and felt that sleeping in hot weather is still possible, so she stopped persuading her, nodded and said: "Okay, but Miss still needs to put a blanket to protect her stomach, otherwise it will hurt." It’s cold.” As he spoke, he went to the bed to find a blanket to put on the young lady who had already fallen asleep.

Miss Shi Si didn't say much, just closed her eyes, and said softly: "Okay, I understand, you just need to move the ice basin away, I'm very tired right now, please take it easy, it won't take long My mother is going to come to see me, and if she finds out that I haven't stopped, she will be nagging." After she finished speaking, she turned around and fell asleep.

Taohua and Xinghua saw that the young lady had fallen asleep comfortably, but they didn't dare to say anything more. They exchanged glances, and gently moved the ice basin away by a distance of ten feet. In fact, Taohua still wanted to move the ice basin. Going further away, but looking at the heat outside, I was still afraid that the lady would be heated, so I could only use this distance, but it moved away from the position directly facing the top of the lady's head, and moved it slightly to the back side.

Xinghua was not as careful as Taohua, seeing that it was all right, she hurriedly pulled Taohua's sleeves, pointed to the outside, and signaled Taohua to leave quickly, after all, she just cried a lot and was in a mess, she had to clean up before the lady came, otherwise To be reprimanded.

Seeing her like this, Taohua also knew that she was not feeling well at the moment, seeing that she had finally calmed down after going through today's ordeal, it seemed that today's incident was a good thing for her!Speaking of which, although Xinghua is very strong in pinching, but after all, she is the little sister who grew up with her, Taohua still loves her in her heart, so she smiled and nodded, and pulled Xinghua, who was already a little weak, to go outside .

But after the two left, what they didn't see was that the lady they thought was already asleep opened her eyes, but instead of looking at them, she looked at the carved couch and smiled, as if she had relaxed her mind. He closed his eyes again and fell asleep.

But what the three master and servant didn't notice was that there was always a pair of ears outside the house, and it was a person that none of them usually thought of, who?In fact, it is an honest little girl Cao'er who they usually don't care about, this Cao'er looks stunned, if her mother is not the mother of the kitchen in the yard of God, she will definitely not be happy for Fourth Miss.

However, because Cao Erniang is a member of the old lady's house, the fourth young lady left her behind. Anyway, a little girl who does trivial things is not a problem, but the fourth young lady is a perfect girl. People, I still value the quality of the girls around me, so I ignore this girl, thinking that people like Cao'er who have lost her a little bit don't need her, so I rarely pay attention to her. It really brought convenience to Cao'er.

Cao'er hid aside and pretended to be doing something. She had seen enough of the people in the bedroom, and she had an idea in her mind. When she saw Peach Blossom and Xing Blossom walking out, she hurriedly and quietly exited the corridor through the side door. He turned around and walked towards the old matriarch's Fuxi Hall against the sun.

The gatekeeper's mother didn't care when she saw that Cao'er was going out under the sun, but she knew that the girl probably went to the old lady's yard to find her mother while the young lady was resting. People can still accommodate each other, and besides, Cao'er is useless in front of the young lady, but she always brings her some snacks when she goes out in private, which is considered an accident, so she didn't stop Cao Son, just take care of this girl to come back early, don't let the lady wake up and let her go if she can't find anyone.

Cao'er won the approval of the janitor's mother, so she thanked her a lot, if Cao'er was seen by the fourth young lady at this time, she would definitely change her mind, she was still that stupid girl, her behavior was better than Xinghua's. But she is much more exquisite, it's a pity that the fourth young lady is too confident and aloof, although she looks very gentle to the people below, but she is disdainful in her heart, which is doomed that she failed to win over someone who is beneficial to her people.

Although Cao'er is the old matriarch's spy, the old matriarch has never met her in person, nor let her elder girl and the stewardess see the girl, but only let Cao'er's mother and Cao'er get in touch, and then Cao'er Erniang had private contact with Nanny Shi, who was in charge of news from all over the place in her yard, which also ensured that Cao'er would not be discovered by others.

In fact, the old matriarch did not do this only for the fourth lady. The old matriarch arranged it in this way from the ladies in the family to the yards of the masters, but the positions of the manpower were different. This also made the old lady feel better. The Taijun firmly controlled the entire inner house of the Duke of Wei's mansion.As for the affairs of the men outside, the old matriarch knew a little bit about it, but the original old Wei Guogong was very defensive and didn't let her, a woman in the inner house, interfere much. This is also the great hatred of the old matriarch.

Speaking of which, the old matriarch's only hatred is his eldest son. The current Wei Guogong has not been close to her since he was a child, and he has kept a lot of outside things from her. The old Duke Wei's legacy made her teeth itch, so the old lady simply gave up her eldest son early on and chose the obedient second son, planning wholeheartedly to let the grandson of the second son inherit the family. Guogong Mansion.

Of course, the old matriarch's plan would be impossible under normal circumstances, but the "Hu pattern" that happened in the first month of Hongyuan's 13th year made her determined to let the second son inherit the government. See the hope that this idea can be realized.

Although the old matriarch always felt a little regretful when she thought of her eldest son who left the mansion to go to the town, but when she turned her head and saw her second son who was flattering and obedient every day in front of her, she felt ashamed of her elder son for her idea. It just dissipated cleanly, who let the eldest son be taken to support by her mother-in-law as soon as he was born, and then he was brought up by the old man's side, and he never lived by her side, although the eldest son was respectful to her, But she is not close to her at all, how can she have the obedient second son who has been raised by her side all the time.

Also because of these reasons, the old matriarch doesn't value the elder son's family too much. If it wasn't for balancing the forces in the mansion, she wouldn't value the elder daughter-in-law and her daughter now. Well, she really doesn't like a concubine!If it wasn't for the purpose of weakening the eldest son's first house, she would not have given her eldest son the daughter-in-law of this house, and let her a concubine be the Duke's wife of the Duke of Wei's mansion.

For Shi Huixin and her elder brother Shi Tao, the old matriarch directly ignored them. You must know that these two people are simply tasteless and no threat to her. He felt that the eldest grandson was destined not to be the eldest son of Duke Wei's mansion, so if there was anyone in the mansion who did not deserve the old matriarch's careful treatment, it would be Miss Shi Huixin, the second eldest daughter.

Therefore, in Shi Huixin's yard, there is only a fake eyeliner that was randomly arranged. The old lady didn't make any clear arrangements for her, so naturally no one mentioned anything clearly. Peach Blossom and the others have won over.

However, although Shi Tao, the elder brother of Miss Shi Er, is not in the eyes of the old matriarch, she also pays attention to this grandson as far as she is planning in her heart, and the old matriarch will not let him escape from her control Naturally, people have to be placed beside the grandson, which is why Shi Tao's yard is like a beehive. Who will not fight for the future Duke?The few thoughtful masters in the mansion all want the eldest son to step aside!If necessary, it is possible to take Shi Tao's life directly.

It was precisely because of these reasons that Shi Huixin was deeply worried after Shi Tao had been poisoned several times. Firstly, she was worried about the safety of the only brother who was kind to her unconditionally. The relatives in her heart are this elder brother and that far away father.

Her father, Shi Huixin, the Duke of Wei, is not worried. You must know that he is a general. Although the borders of the country are not yet stable, no one is engaged in large-scale battles. As her father, she does not have to go to the battlefield in person, and her safety is natural. Don't worry, unless his father wants to rebel, it's not a problem.

Secondly, apart from her genuine concern for her brother, she also considers her own current situation. You must know that she has no status in this mansion. Fortunately, some servants who don't know the situation look at Shi Tao, the eldest son. To save face, this allowed Shi Huixin to survive in this cold Duke's mansion.

If she lost the protection of her own brother, Shi Tao, Shi Huixin really dare not think about it. Although her father is there, everyone in the house, from the master to the servants, has some concerns about killing her, but after all, the long-distance water cannot quench the near-thirst!So her brother's well-being is real to her.If her elder brother was killed, she would probably be the next one to die. You must know that in this ancient deep house of a wealthy family, a person like her who had no support from outside or inside would disappear quietly without anyone asking.

In fact, these are really not Shi Huixin's overthinking, because of the "Hu pattern", there are always reasons. Although the important masters in Duke Wei's mansion do not want to protect themselves and harm the two children, they have long wanted to exile Shi Huixin And Shi Tao, fortunately, the Duke of Wei was so powerful that he finally turned the tide and managed to save the former wife of the Duke of Wei, Li Shi, and their eldest sons Shi Tao and Shi Huixin.

These causes and consequences are unknown to Shi Huixin today, but it does not prevent her from guessing something unusual, so she has been on guard, thinking of a way out, not only for herself but also for her brother and the people around her. A loyal person who accompanied her along the bumpy journey.

Naturally, Shi Huixin also guessed that her elder brother and the nanny knew some secrets that she didn't know, but in order to protect her, she didn't tell her many things. The answer is that things are much easier to handle, but unfortunately it can't be done as desired.
