Chapter 223 Whistleblowing
After Lai An went out, Dong Yuan called Xun Fang again and asked her to send a woman to the stable to watch secretly.

Sure enough, Lai'an went out from Jingsheyuan and went to report to Sheng Xiuyi.

Dong Yuan went from being stunned at the beginning, to being sad for no reason later, and even now being suspicious.During this period, she thought about a lot of things: less than two years after marrying into the Sheng Mansion, Sheng Xiuyi was always protective and considerate.Ever since Dong Yuan came in, Sheng Xiuyi has been impeccable.

He loves Dong Yuan with all his heart.

Moreover, Sheng Xiuyi's temperament has always been cautious, if he really has a woman he likes, and he knows that Dongyuan can't tolerate concubines, he will definitely not accept him in the capital.

After living in the Sheng family's house for a long time, there were no more intrigues and fears, and Dong Yuan's sensitivity was also worn away by time and comfort.

Sitting would only cause her more headaches.

Dong Yuan thought for a while, got up and went to Mrs. Sheng.

"I should go to pay New Year's greetings to my grandmother in the morning. It's just that the eldest son said that he was going to the Prince's Mansion, and I have been waiting until now. Mother, I still want to visit my grandmother today..." Dong Yuan said to Mrs. Sheng, with a few hints in his tone Very pale.

Just like her erratic mood.

Madam Sheng saw that her expression was not very good, she wanted to ask something but she saw Dong Yuan lowered her head and tried her best to hold on, maybe she didn't want Madam Sheng to know.

Getting along with each other these days, Mrs. Sheng felt that Dong Yuan handled things very safely.Even if she has difficulties, she can handle them well.Seeing that she didn't want to say anything, she pretended not to see it, and said with a smile: "Go, go. Bring a few more maids to follow, don't come back too late."

The winter night came very early, and the curfew was advanced by half an hour.

Dong Yuan said yes.

She returned to Jingsheyuan, and changed into a silver-red silk tapestry embroidered peony-pattern long jacket, and a lotus-colored skirt with cloud patterns, and slender ruby ​​earrings in her ears. Updo, with two lotus tortoise shell combs inserted obliquely, the whole person is bright and beautiful.

The lip color was a bit pale, Dong Yuan picked a little rouge from the jade hairpin and wiped it on.

After she finished dressing up, Xue Jiangwan came back from Zhenxianhou's Mansion.When she returned home, she and Yaotao came to greet Dong Yuan.Seeing that Dong Yuan was dressed neatly, as if he was about to go out, he subconsciously asked, "Which house are you going to, sister?"

Dong Yuan didn't answer the conversation, but changed the subject and asked her: "Go back today, have you seen grandma?"

Xue Jiangwan nodded hurriedly: "I see. Grandma also rewarded me with a lot of things, asking me to serve my son and sister well in the mansion..."

Dong Yuan nodded lightly: "I've been tired all day, let's go back and rest."

With that said, she got up by herself and went into the inner room again.

Xue Jiangwan backed out.

Xunfang and Biqiu had already arranged the carriage for Dong Yuan to go out, but before Dong Yuan left, he called Yao Tao who was going to Zhenxianhou's Mansion with Xue Jiang in the evening: "Aunt Xue not only greets the old lady, but also pays her respects. Who did you meet?"

"I didn't see anyone." Yaotao said, "It's just...just after eating, my aunt said to follow her like a maidservant, and if she didn't come out for half a day, she went in to look for my aunt. My aunt was not in the room, and then the servant girl I found my aunt at the back of the house. She said she was taking a breath, so she came out from the side door. At that time, there were many people, but I didn't see any slaves..."

Dong Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly.

What Chen Xiang told her in the morning made her less interested in what happened to Xue Jiangwan.

She asked, "Other than these?"

Seeing that Dong Yuan was a bit impatient, Yaotao hurriedly said: "At that time, when the servant girl followed, she seemed to see a teacher in blue-gray black clothes talking to the auntie... Thinking about it, the servant girl often There are these people walking around, so I don’t know if I should tell Grandma about this..."

Her voice was a little unsure.

Dong Yuan smiled for a moment, and said: "You observe very carefully. Since this is the case, you should pay more attention to Aunt Xue's affairs. You and Ying'er beside her should walk more and see what she is up to recently."

Abnormal is demon, Xue Jiangwan is probably planning something.

Dong Yuan just wanted to take precautions before it happened, so that Xue Jiangwan would not make a scandal and lose Dong Yuan's face.Xue Jiangwan is Dong Yuan's companion Teng, she is embarrassing, and Dong Yuan is not good-looking either.

When Yaotao heard Dong Yuan's affirmation of her and asked her to continue to follow up on this matter, she was ecstatic in her heart and hurriedly responded.

Dong Yuan got up, told the women and maids at home to look after the courtyard, and told Xunfang to take care of the family affairs, and only took Bi Qiu, the two women, and two maids to Zhenxianhou's Mansion.

When Dong Yuan arrived, Mrs. Dingyuan Hou Yao and Fourth Sister Xue Dongting happened to be talking to the old lady.

The fourth sister also brought her four-year-old son to pay New Year's greetings to the old lady.

Seeing Dong Yuan coming, the sisters-in-law of Dingyuan Hou's family stood up and saluted her one after another.The fourth sister Xue Dongting laughed and said: "In the past, the ninth sister was always the first, but today she is behind. We all have to go back, so you came..."

Dong Yuan smiled: "I'm no better than Fourth Sister. Mrs. Yao loves Fourth Sister, and she doesn't need to touch everything in the house. I'm also too busy with trivial matters at home..."

Before Dong Yuan finished speaking, Mrs. Yao started laughing, and said to the old lady: "Oh, come to complain, haven't you?" Turning to Dong Yuan, she smiled and said, "I will learn this from your mother-in-law later, and complain behind my daughter-in-law's back. Mother-in-law is here. It seems that your mother-in-law is mean to you and wants you to handle everything..."

Dong Yuan also laughed: "Mrs. Yao wronged me. On the one hand, I said that you love my fourth sister so that my grandmother can rest assured. You don't know, my grandmother is afraid that people will treat her granddaughter badly. On the other hand, I am not showing off. Are you showing off your housekeeper? You see, you have to expose me..."

The room roared with laughter.

The old lady smiled and waved at her.

Dong Yuan took a few steps forward, and was held in the arms of the old lady like a child: "Our Xiaojiu has a lot of thoughts, you pretend to not understand, and insist on exposing her, you are breaking your conscience."

It made everyone laugh again.

After a commotion, Mrs. Yao and the others got up and said goodbye.

Mrs. Cai, the wife of Zhenxianhou Shizi, personally sent them out.

When only Dong Yuan and the old lady were left in the Rongde Pavilion, the old lady asked her softly: "Why did Aunt Xue come back to give me New Year's greetings, but you came now?"

Dong Yuan said: "I originally wanted to wait for Tianhe to be together. Aunt Xue..."

After that, he told the old lady what Yaotao had told her.

The old lady's eyes were darkened, and she said to Dong Yuan: "Master Rujing did come to pay me New Year's greetings today. Her nunnery has never had much incense, and I don't like her walking around the house. If it is a weekday, I will stop it. It's just today It's Chinese New Year's Eve, and your third sister-in-law said she believed in it, so she let her in. It seems that she's an uneasy student again..."

Since Fifth Sister Xue Dongrong used Mrs. Huizhen to spread rumors two years ago, the old lady forbade nuns and Taoist nuns in the house.

Later, the noble concubine of the Xue family became the queen, and Queen Xue believed in these nuns again, so the old lady let them come to the house by chance again.

Just mentioning the nun, the tone is still extremely disgusting.

How did this Master Rujing know Xue Jiangwan?
"Grandmother, I can take care of Aunt Xue's affairs, so you don't have to worry..." Dong Yuan comforted the old lady softly, but his brows were slightly frowned, and his tone was a little heavy, which could not hide from the old lady's eyes at all.

The old lady asked her: "Why did you come by yourself, where is Tianhe?"

Dong Yuan couldn't help but tighten his brows again.

The old lady knew she had guessed right.Sure enough, there was an awkwardness between the young couple.

It's just that she didn't know what was going on, and Dong Yuan was worried when she returned to her mother's house.

"He went to the Crown Prince's Mansion, maybe the Crown Prince has something to do and he hasn't come back yet..." Dong Yuan explained casually.She was silent for a moment, then asked the old lady, "Grandmother, let me ask you something: you and your grandfather have been in love for decades, do you know your grandfather?"

This question is very abrupt.

The old lady laughed secretly, it really was some rift between the husband and wife.

"Your grandfather and I are childhood sweethearts. I have known him since he was a baby. I saw him when I was three years old. When he grows up, others can't see his personality, but I know it clearly. Touch him all the time. It's clear, how can anyone understand it?" The old lady laughed, talking about the past with Dong Yuan very leisurely.

Dong Yuan couldn't help showing envy.

After a while, she asked again: "Do you...do you believe in grandfather? If others say that grandfather has done bad things, do you believe in the solid evidence of others, or in grandfather?"

The old lady understood completely.

Probably Sheng Xiuyi did something outside, let Dongyuan know, and there was a misunderstanding.

The old lady sighed.She didn't answer Dong Yuan's question, but looked at her: "Sister Yuan, grandma also told you something: Do you know what His Majesty told Tianhe when he came back from the northwest?"

Dong Yuan was taken aback.

When Sheng Xiuyi came back, she happened to be giving birth to Brother Cheng, and she was exhausted and exhausted.At that time, it was strange that Sheng Xiuyi didn't go back to Jingsheyuan directly, but went to Mrs. Sheng's Yuanyang Pavilion.

However, when he came back later, it was the same as before, Dong Yuan didn't think deeply about what happened that day.

Suddenly hearing her grandmother mention it, she came back to her senses and asked, "What did you say?"

The old lady told Dong Yuan all about the pearl left in the sea that Emperor Yuanchang said, that the Marquis of Shengchang wanted to send Dong Yuan and Brother Cheng away, and that four princes from the people entered the palace.

Dong Yuan is not a stupid person.

What happened in the middle, although the old lady didn't say it clearly, she knew it clearly.Compared to what Chen Xiang told her about Sheng Xiuyi's outer room, this incident made her stunned like a thunderclap.

It turned out that when she gave birth to brother Cheng, something terrible happened!
If Sheng Xiuyi believed it, or believed it a little bit, and allowed Sheng Changhou to deal with Dongyuan's mother and son, what would be the fate of her and Brother Cheng now?
At least, brother Cheng can't keep her by her side.

She couldn't help but shuddered twice.

The old lady's words rang in my ears again: "... Sister Yuan, Tianhe is not an ordinary person. He respects you, trusts you, and is willing to take such a big risk for you. You should understand: can you trust him?" Sister Yuan, in this world, there is someone who can do this for you. You are a lucky person. Grandma is also very relieved. Back then, it was the greatest blessing in your life to let you be Tianhe's second wife... ..."

Two lines of tears couldn't help sliding down Dong Yuan's cheeks, with warmth.

These words made her wonder what to do.
