Yutai Bi

Chapter 282 News
The movement in the mansion could not be concealed from Cen Sanniang, so Du Yanwan went to Nuan Pavilion in person: "After the seven-day puja, I will send my grandmother to Shuiyue Nunnery. When my brother comes back, I will hold a puja on the 49th, and choose an auspicious day to be buried with my grandfather. San Niang , the deceased is gone, I know you are not a pedantic person. You can't be too sad, always think about your three nephews."

After sleeping for a day, Cen Sanniang's emotions gradually calmed down: "I understand." After saying this, her eyes turned red again, "I just thought, why didn't grandma wait for him to come back...to break into righteousness that day Tang's mother-in-law asked if there was anything? If she hadn't startled grandma, grandma wouldn't have left so soon."

Du Yanwan was silent for a moment and said: "I was locked up in the firewood room. I didn't expect you to have a seizure just the next day. Today I was free to pick someone up. I took off my belt and committed suicide on the window lattice of the firewood room."

"It's so ruthless to act without leaving the first and the last!" Cen Sanniang said bitterly, remembering what happened to Shuiyuean, "When your brother comes back, the Duke's Mansion has slowed down, and if those people are not caught, it will be hard to get rid of the hatred in my heart. "

"You rest. There is Da Lang and I taking care of you outside. The young uncle is also sensible. There are guards and Hei Qi guarding here. It is reasonable to pass the confinement with peace of mind." Du Yanwan got up and said goodbye to the outer courtyard.

Cen Sanniang lay on the kang, and asked the nanny to bring the three boys in, and unbuttoned her clothes to nurse them.

The buckwheat noodles are strong, but the milk is not easy to suck out, so I blushed with anxiety, and burst into tears.Mother Fang persuaded with distress: "Don't act too hastily, let the nanny feed it first."

Cen Sanniang shook her head, and asked Fang's mother to milk her vigorously. Her head was sweating from the pain, so she squeezed out a little bit and put it in his mouth to suck. Then she fed him wheat noodles, and said in a low voice, "You'll be fine soon." .One bite counts.”

The third child has the smallest head, and he can't even hold a penis in his mouth.Cen Sanniang had no choice but to hand it over to the nanny, and after watching the feeding with her own eyes, she let Mother Fang accompany the nanny to carry her son out.

She knew she couldn't think too much, seeing that the New Year's Eve was approaching again, she couldn't help but think about the scene of Mrs. Zhang's death.The winter without Du Yansui is extremely long.

A few girls were making small clothes for the three of them in the room to accompany her.

Those exquisite clothes aroused great interest of Cen Sanniang, and she gradually became happy.

The news of Mantou's return did not dare to tell Cen Sanniang.Everyone hoped that Cen Sanniang would finish her confinement safely, launch the Spring Expedition to pacify the Western Turks, and Du Yansui would come back safely.

Seven days later, Du Yanwan sent the old lady's coffin to the nunnery for deposit.He still stays in the Duke's Mansion to handle housework and take care of Cen Sanniang.However, when it came to the New Year's Eve, she was the daughter-in-law of the Zou family and had to go back to the Zou family for the New Year.The affairs of the mansion were handed over to Cen Zhilin and Director Du.Du Yanwan and Zou Xiongjie returned to Zou's house.

The Duke's Mansion was deserted.

On the evening of New Year's Eve, Cen Sanniang received the greetings from everyone in the warm pavilion, ordered the kitchen to cook more meat dishes, and asked everyone to take turns to eat the New Year's Eve dinner.

Firecrackers were set off at the gate of the house to celebrate the New Year.The flower hall is very quiet.

The warm pavilion was extremely lively, with four tables in total.Cen Sanniang on the kang was alone at the table.Next, the nannies and Cen Sanniang's girls each set up a table.After the old lady left, Mother Yin came to Nuange to take care of Cen Sanniang, and set up a table with two upright maids.

There were also two tables set up for the guards and Hei Qi in the yard.

The three boys looked different every day, and half a month later they all opened their dark eyes.Cen Sanniang took out the three small coins given by Fang's mother after eating, and teased them one by one on the kang.

The two who opened their eyes at the same time were the eldest and the third.The one who sleeps with his eyes closed is the second child.Waiting for the boss and the third child to sleep, the second child opened his eyes and spit bubbles.The eldest cry was the loudest, the third cried like a kitten, and the second seldom cried. This subtle difference surprised Cen Sanniang.She warmed the money and hung it around the third boy's neck, pointed to Mother Fang and said, "Your adoptive mother saved money from her private house to give you money. Don't forget to honor her when you grow up."

Mother Fang was so happy that she could not close her mouth from ear to ear. Seeing that Cen Sanniang was getting tired, she asked the nanny to carry the third boy to the next door.Ever since she became the adoptive mother of the third boy, Fang's mother has been inseparable almost every step of the way.She saluted Cen Sanniang, and followed her to sleep next door.

Mother Yin also led the girls to rest at the tip.

At the beginning of summer, there were vigils in several divisions.The flower hall gradually quieted down.

The sound of firecrackers at noon came one after another, and only a faint lingering sound was left in the flower hall of the Duke's Mansion, which could not disturb the children.

However, in the quieter backyard of the Princess Mansion, several black shadows flashed past, leaped over the wall adjacent to the back garden of Du's house, and sneaked in.

At the same time, the fence adjacent to the streets and alleys of the Duke's Mansion was deserted, and dozens of people threw hooks towards the top of the wall, climbing the ropes like geckos into the courtyard wall, and quietly appeared in the backyard .

The people who came from the princess mansion went around a long way, passed through the double-layer locked courtyard, and arrived at the hallway of Zhengqi hall.

When the old lady passed away, the Zhengqi hall was sealed off, leaving only a few women who cleaned and guarded the door.No one in this group of people was surprised from the time they came in to the time they went out along the Zhengqi hall.All the way smoothly touched the periphery of the flower hall.

The courtyard wall of the flower hall is not high. Standing under the corridor, you can see a small two-story building standing in the middle of the courtyard from a distance.The white lanterns hanging under the eaves reveal a layer of cool light, reflecting the snow and illuminating the courtyard.

Since I came here, I didn't plan to hide my whereabouts again.The visitors glanced at each other, and were about to rush into the courtyard along the outline, but saw a group of people rushing from the corridors on both sides.

There are still people coming?Is it friend or foe?Before the leader could make a judgment, he saw the person untiing his longbow from behind.

"Get out of the way!" he yelled.

The crossbow arrows whizzed in the night wind, and two of them who hadn't had time to hide behind the pillars were hit by the arrows and groaned.

After a round of arrow rain, the two parties stopped in the corridor.

"Who is coming?"

The people running on both sides didn't answer at all, they drew their knives and rushed over.

The clanging of long knives spread far in the silent night.

The guards in the courtyard of the flower hall surrounded Hei Qi and blocked the door.

"Hand over. Let them fight." Hei Qi stared at the closed courtyard door and said coldly.

Hearing the movement, Cen Sanniang was so anxious that she asked Mother Fang to take the nanny to carry the three boys into her room.Let Xia Chu take the small crossbow that Du Yansui made for him and stand in front of the bed, and said harshly: "Hei Qi and the others know how to be polite, they will never come in. If anyone enters the house, just shoot."

"Understood, Young Madam." Xia Chu held the small crossbow again, but he was not so nervous, and responded crisply.

Mama Yin and Mama Fang led the girls to move the arhat couch under the window sill to the door to block it, and took a round stool and other things to guard the window.

"Young Madam, there are two groups of people fighting outside. One of them must be helping us. The guards from the outer courtyard have already arrived, so don't worry too much." Hei Qi said outside the window.

The people in the room breathed a sigh of relief.

I thought that during the New Year's Eve in the Duke's Mansion, there are few people who are slack, but I didn't know that a group of people came out from Hengli.The sound of fighting spread here, and Director Du rushed in with all the guards from the outer courtyard.

After about half an hour, the sound gradually disappeared.

Seven or eight corpses were thrown in the snow.The guards of the Duke's Mansion surrounded a group of men in black.

The leader did not panic, threw the knife in his hand, and said to Director Du: "My master expected that the Duke's Mansion would not be peaceful, so he asked me to come and protect it. Director Du, lead me to see my wife."

It was a female voice.

Mr. Du was surprised when he saw that she threw away the weapon and captured her without a fight, and recognized himself again.But he dared not take her to see Cen Sanniang.

At this time, Hei Qi opened the courtyard door and came out, strode up to the woman, said silently: "If you are willing to tie your hands, I will take you to see the Young Madam."

"Okay." The woman stretched out her hand and let the guards restrain her, followed Hei Qi into the flower hall.

The guards still surrounded the rest of the people, not daring to relax.

After entering the flower hall, Hei Qi said softly outside the window: "Young Madam, it's all right. There is an acquaintance who wants to see you. Please send me around."

After clearing the door, everyone carried the child to the next door, leaving Xia Chu and Ah Qiu alone.

Early summer opened the door.Hei Qi glanced at the crossbow in her hand, pushed the woman in black into the room, and said calmly: "If she makes any abnormal movements, you can just snap the machine and shoot her."

He didn't close the door, and stood outside the curtain to watch.

The woman entered the room and saw Cen Sanniang half leaning on the kang, her forehead was tied with a mop, her face was rosy, and she breathed a sigh of relief: "Madam is different from ordinary people, it is really lucky that she was not frightened."

Hearing her speak, Cen Sanniang was stunned: "Madam Xu?"

Ah Qiu stepped forward to take her mask, it was Mrs. Xu.

"Show Mrs. Xu a seat." Cen Sanniang looked at her, but didn't say anything to untie her.

Mrs. Xu didn't care either, she smiled and said, "Congratulations, concubine. I happened to meet Bang Xiaoxiao, so I helped you clean up."

Cen Sanniang smiled: "Thank you for scaring Madam to do it herself during the New Year's Eve."

Mrs. Xu said: "Can I talk to you alone?"

Xia Chu's Nudeng shouted behind her: "You don't want to sow discord."

Mrs. Xu said softly: "It's not that I can't trust you. It's just that the matter is very important. If you two don't go out, I won't say anything."

The son is next door, guarded by a dozen girls and women.Cen Sanniang was not worried that Mrs. Xu, who had her hands tied, would be bad for her.She didn't know why King Teng was in a hurry to send Mrs. Xu.But she believed that it would not be a trivial matter for Mrs. Xu to do it herself.
