The Concubine's Survival Manual

Chapter 230

Brother Nine really never forgets his twin sister all the time, and he always remembers it, but he just wants to achieve the result of 'when I grow up, I will be able to protect you'.

Qin Niangzi felt a warmth in her heart at once, but also felt a little heavy on her shoulders, as if there was some unspeakable weight added.

It was a rare opportunity to have a private conversation with Quan Ruiyun, so she simply greeted the second lady with her eyes, then went out of the house with Quan Ruiyun, stood in the warm corridor, and asked her in a low voice, "I heard that Madam often Give you some relief..."

Quan Ruiyun's eye circles were red, and he covered up his smile and said, "It's nothing, mother is just old, and her temper—sometimes is weird."

Why is Seventh Lady not clear about the eldest wife's temperament?She sighed for Quan Ruiyun, thought for a while, and then gave her some advice, "The one who can speak for you at home now is not Brother Ninth or Master, you usually walk around with Seventh Concubine, she can speak for you A word to my wife will do more than anything."

Quan Ruiyun lowered his head and pondered for a moment, his expression changed, and he gradually became enlightened, and then raised his head to thank Seventh Lady, "I really don't know where I got the blessing, since the moment I passed the door, Seventh Sister spoke for me..."

Her eyes were full and her expression was sincere. It seemed that she spoke these words from the bottom of her heart.

Qin Niangzi felt very comfortable in her heart.

In the two lifetimes before and after, she has never had much spare energy to help others, so such simple happiness is very rare for her.

She also smiled sincerely, "Family, why are you being so polite? I haven't thanked you for preparing rose fermented bean curd for me—that's my favorite."

The two aunts and sisters-in-law looked at each other and smiled, it seemed that there was an indescribable tacit understanding and affection between each other as they went back and forth.

Seventh Lady asked a few more about Ninth Brother's trivial matters, and then remembered to tell Quan Ruiyun, "Speaking of which, there is one more thing I would like to ask you to help explain: A few days ago, someone wanted to tell Yu Ping, the third girl of our family, For your second brother, my mother-in-law and I thought it over and over again, and we all felt that Yu Ping's aptitude is too unreasonable to match your second brother..."

A ray of cloud suddenly floated over Quan Ruiyun's face, she bit her lip, and instead of answering Seventh Lady's words, she murmured to herself, "No wonder Second Brother..."

Suddenly he came back to his senses, smiled and nodded. "Okay, take the words with you."

After a pause, he couldn't help sighing again, "Oh, I don't want to hide it from Seventh Sister, how many times has Second Brother quarreled with his family about this continuation - even back then, there were weddings and quarrels. Then we divorced... It's a good thing you didn't fall in love with the second elder brother this time, otherwise, you might embarrass everyone."

This is a family matter of the Quan family, and it's hard for Seventh Lady to say anything, so it's worth laughing without saying a word.Quan Ruiyun soon came to his senses, smiled embarrassedly at Qiniangzi, and simply leaned into Qiniangzi's ear and said, "Speaking of which, the second brother actually returned to the capital a few years ago, but we didn't release the news. This has been prescribing medicine for Concubine Niu Shu and Concubine Ning in the palace, and she has no intention of entertaining relatives and friends when she is out of the palace. She just rests in her own yard. So few people outside the palace know, it is the second sister, I see her It looks like the empress didn't even mention it to her."

Seventh Lady's expression couldn't help changing. "Concubine Niu Shu—"

Quan Ruiyun was very transparent. "I'm afraid Concubine Shu's pregnancy will be lost—Seventh Sister should not tell people casually about this, after all, it hasn't come true yet, so it's not easy to spread the word."

Concubine Niu Shu couldn't keep her baby, Qin Niangzi was not too surprised, she nodded and said, "I know how to measure it. It's just that the empress dowager's painstaking efforts will be in vain."

There was faint disdain on Quan Ruiyun's lips, and she said lightly, "The empress dowager is indeed very angry. The palace is busy right now, but the news hasn't come out. Seventh sister knows it in her heart, it's just the second Don't talk about it casually with my sister, after all, there are some things that the second sister is not easy to do. Especially Ning Concubine has been given a happy pulse these days..."

Qi Niangzi suddenly knew how the Quan family's reputation came about: outsiders have always had no way to know about the secret affairs of the palace. Even close officials like the Xu family and the Sun family are not allowed to enter the palace at will unless summoned. Even if you want to spread the news after meeting several times with the female relatives, you have to spend a lot of trouble.How can it compare to the Quan family, as long as Quan Zhongbai is in Beijing, how much and how much do they want from the royal family?

"Why is Sixth Sister's happiness so important—" She couldn't help asking.

It seemed that because he had found a way to repay Seventh Lady, Quan Ruiyun smiled slightly, feeling a little more at ease.She took Qin Niangzi's arm affectionately, "Although it is still early, the second brother is the most superb in pulse, and he can feel Ziwu Yinmao with just one touch. He said it has been about a month. After doing the math, it means that there was a baby in November. It's just that even the empress doesn't seem to know about this matter for the time being."

Just this one sentence, we can know that Quan Ruiyun has his own intention in telling Seventh Lady not to tell Second Lady about this matter.

Only when Qin Niangzi moved her mind, Quan Ruiyun lowered her voice again. "You know, the crown prince has entered this winter, and his bones are getting worse. The second elder brother came back to feel the pulse this time, and he showed signs of kidney essence loss-this is a child who is only seven years old! This year in the palace has been very lively. I heard that the emperor was very angry. The empress dowager was still a little happy, but something happened to Concubine Niu Shu's fetus after the new year..."

Just these few words outlined a dangerous and dangerous palace fighting situation, and Qiniangzi was terrified, and her whole body had goose bumps.

"The Sixth Sister's baby is indeed not public right now!" She said firmly.

Quan Ruiyun nodded, "Fortunately, the second brother is also one of my own." She smiled slightly, "I got Concubine Ning's order, and I didn't tell anyone else. For the time being, Concubine Ning has not been involved in the battles in the palace."

Qin Niangzi suddenly felt the grand master's foresight again: he will try his best to marry the Quan family, and I am afraid that he has already set his sights on this day.

"Have you told the master?" She lowered her voice and reminded Quan Ruiyun. "There are many things, you have to take care of your mother's family!"

Quan Ruiyun looked at Qin Niangzi with a little more intimacy.

Quan Zhongbai was able to get in touch with the secret affairs of the palace, on the one hand, because his medical skills are so superb that he cannot be separated from him everywhere, on the other hand, it is also because his mouth is always tight.

He could trust that Quan Ruiyun would not tell these things, and Quan Ruiyun could also trust that Seventh Lady would not tell others about these things at will, but he could not trust that the Elder Master would adjust his course of action accordingly.

Especially now that the Eldest Master is fighting wonderfully with Old Jiao Ge again, he may not care about the position of Quan Ruiyun and Quan Zhongbai on many things...

"Seventh Sister's kindness, Ruiyun can appreciate it." Quan Ruiyun smiled warmly. "Even Ninth Brother doesn't know about this matter, he just remembered that Sixth Sister asked Seventh Sister how many times she went to the palace last time—"

Seventh Lady immediately understood Quan Ruiyun's subtext.

"I also have some contacts here. I can send some medicinal materials to Sixth Sister." She whispered and hastily said, "But this is not a place to talk. Wait until tonight, send your confidant mother to come over and give me the order."

Quan Ruiyun nodded knowingly, showing a reassuring smile, and just as she was about to speak, Seventh Lady suddenly turned her head away and narrowed her eyes.

They were in a small corridor, with transparent and bright glass windows on both sides, but they were all tightly closed without leaving any gaps - and only in this way could the heat in the corridor be retained.Quan Ruiyun would bring Qiniangzi here to talk privately. Naturally, he liked the fact that it was hidden and quiet, and people from both sides could be seen at a glance.

Because of this, Qin Niangzi saw Yu Qiao laughing and turning around from behind a high wall outside the corridor.

The joy on her face was so bright that Qin Niangzi narrowed her eyes and noticed something was wrong.

She pressed Quan Ruiyun's shoulder, led her to dodge, avoiding Yu Qiao's sight, and then asked in a low voice.

"What's behind the wall?"

Quan Ruiyun didn't answer for a long time, Qin Niangzi glanced at her, only to see her embarrassed face, suddenly the alarm bell rang in her heart, and she heard Ruiyun say.

"It's a big tile-roofed house with two entrances and a warehouse for storing all kinds of props and organs, and there is a secret door leading to the theater building - the troupe of the singing hall are all putting on makeup..."
