The Concubine's Survival Manual

Chapter 281

Fourth Young Madam's reaction was of course within Seventh Lady's expectation.

Hearing that Mrs. Fifth Young Lady left a letter to Seventh Lady, the expression of this young lady who was not at home suddenly changed. There was not only a bit of horror, but also a bit of excitement, and a hint of curiosity. Radiates from the corner of the eye between the eyebrows.

She asked Qin Niangzi softly, "What did the fifth sibling write to you? Does everyone in the family know about this?"

In order not to worry the fourth young lady too much, the fourth young master probably did not tell the fourth young lady about the letter.As someone who heard about this for the first time, the reaction of the Fourth Young Madam can be said to be quite reasonable.

Seventh Lady looked around again and saw that there was no one in the room, so she lowered her voice, "The letter involves the fourth sister-in-law...so although everyone in the family knows about it, I dare not take out the letter."

The Fourth Young Madam immediately raised her eyes and raised her eyebrows. "what!"

She was very annoyed, and patted the table, "This Mrs. Zhang, even if he dies, he will plot against our fourth wife. It's really a crime in the previous life, so there is such a sister-in-law!"

But she was annoyed, and felt a little guilty after all, she glanced at Qiniangzi, and said in a low voice, "Did the letter mention the roommate?"

The young lady in the family wants to use means to rub and send a room. In fact, the young ladies are well aware of each other. The Fourth Young Madam told Seventh Lady about this, I am afraid it is also saved. Qiniangzi will definitely understand her own thoughts, and because there is no physical evidence for this matter, she will tell Qiniangzi all the details of the Zhangjiakou incident.

But if the fifth young lady mentioned this matter in her last letter, the meaning would be different. What she said was unsubstantiated, and the paper was evidence. If the fifth young lady explained the source and manifestation of the poison in the letter, then click Name a few people who handled this.That would be different, as long as the coffin is opened in private for an autopsy, and the two sides are combined, the four-bedroom couple will definitely be born apart.Although the Fourth Young Madam has a child to protect her, she will be in serious trouble after the child falls to the ground.

Seventh Lady pursed her lips, looked at Fourth Young Madam again, reached into her bosom, and took out a letter.

Seeing that the Fourth Young Madam wanted to come to pick her up, she turned sideways, avoiding the Fourth Young Madam's movements, and said with a smile, "Let me read it to Fourth Sister-in-law."

Fourth Young Madam knew it well: Seventh Lady was afraid that she would take it over and take a look, and if she said something unfavorable to Si Fang, she would take advantage of the situation and either tear it up or burn it...

She withdrew her hand and smiled mischievously, "Okay, you read, you read, I want to see, what kind of ugly things Mrs. Zhang will put on me before he dies!"

Qin Niangzi cleared her throat, and said softly, "I won't say the polite words earlier, Fifth Sister-in-Law will start with He Xian."

"Hexian is my only child, and I can no longer take care of her." Seventh Lady said slowly, "However, I know that with your temperament, although you may not be able to rub Hexian, but in the next ten years or so , and will definitely not give her much care, but grandma is old, and it is hard to say whether she can live to marry He Xian. I can exchange one thing for your care of He Xian. "

She paused, and felt a little embarrassed again, "Sister-in-law Si, these are all the words of Sister-in-law--I know that among the brothers in the mansion, the fourth brother has the highest military achievements, and this has always been the greatest threat to the sixth brother." , but with this incident as an excuse. If you reveal it to Jing Er in the future, the fourth room will definitely not be a threat to your sixth room. A few years ago, I did an unapproved case for the fourth sister-in-law thing……"

She slowly told a few details about the incident in Zhangjiakou, and the fourth young lady's face became darker the more she heard it: These are all the same details as when she and Seventh Lady talked about it, it can be seen that the fifth young lady was not deceived What Seven Lady meant was that she really wanted to use Sifang's handle in exchange for Hexian's safety.

"With this matter, as long as you tell your mother-in-law at the right time, mother-in-law will naturally make a big fuss for you, so Sifang will lose face, and Sisister-in-law will probably fall out of favor. Sifang will be restless from now on. The fourth brother will most likely apply for a foreign transfer and leave the fourth sister-in-law to stay in the capital when the fourth brother is most disheartened." Seventh lady read while looking at the expression on the fourth young lady's face.

Fourth Young Madam's eyes even had a faint fierce light, she looked gloomy, looked at Qin Niangzi menacingly, and cast her gaze to a corner of the room.

When Qi Niangzi followed her eyes and looked over, she realized that it was the side of Duobaoge in the main room, and there seemed to be a brass and green sheep statue on it... The fourth young lady's eyes hovered over it for a while, then turned away again, looking To the big vase on the other side...

This person's character is really straightforward enough.

Of course, the Fifth Young Madam did not tell her the truth about the Fourth Young Madam, but there was not much falsehood in what she said. Many details were mentioned by the Fourth Young Madam to Seventh Madam at that time.If this story is revealed in this way, Sifang will lose face in the mansion and don't tell it. I'm afraid that there will never be any strong affection between the fourth young wife and the fourth young master from now on.

For the Fourth Young Madam, this threat is of course more serious and real than the loss of hope for the throne, and the Seventh Lady in front of her has also changed from a congenial sister-in-law to a dangerous enemy in an instant.

Facing the enemy, her reaction was actually to find a murder weapon... This person's thinking is not only straight, but also very rough, with a strong primitive color: you may hurt me, then I will hurt you first.

Qin Niangzi somewhat had a bottom line in her heart, and she continued to read.

"Not only that, but there is one more thing. Although there is no real evidence, I want to tell you in private that I hate being a scapegoat for others in my life. At that time, I had no intention of killing Yang Shanli. In her medicine, The only one I got in with was Wang Buliuxing. Saffron blindness is—"

Seventh Lady paused for a moment, she almost widened her eyes, examining the expression of the Fourth Young Madam.

On the face of the Fourth Young Madam, there was a fleeting panic at first, and then she felt relieved.She seemed to think of the words 'no real evidence', so she showed a disdainful smile and bit the words
very heavy. "Could Mrs. Zhang want to create something out of nothing again, and blame the whole thing on me!"

Seventh Lady showed a noncommittal smile, and she said softly, "Fifth sister-in-law wrote this. I left Leshanju early that day, and wanted to visit Yang Shanli in Mingde Hall first, and then go back to Leshanju to do housework. No After thinking about it, she walked to the door, and saw the fourth sister-in-law coming out of the medicine making hut from a distance. She looked around and saw that no one could see her, so she took her personal maid and walked away, with a smug look on her face. Laughing. Because I stood far away and hid quickly, the fourth sister-in-law didn't see me, so she just walked away..."

The Fourth Young Madam's face was solemn at first, but then she couldn't help laughing, "Look at you, this Mrs. Zhang is full of nonsense! I went to visit the sixth sibling that day, but I was a maid Didn't even bring it! Where can I find a personal maid!"

Seventh Lady's heart skipped a beat, she no longer had any doubts.

To deceive a person's truth, the best and simplest method is to adulterate the truth, using the truth that one already knows, combined with deliberately fabricated false details, to deceive the other party's correction.

Just look at the fictitious remarks made by the fourth young lady just now, instead of correcting 'I have not been to the hut where the medicine is boiled' and 'I did not look around', but first correcting 'I did not bring a maid'.It can be known that the Fourth Young Madam has subconsciously admitted that she has done both of these things, and of course there is no need to correct them.

As for these psychological details, it may be difficult for the Fourth Young Madam herself to understand. She said with a smile, and then showed an angry face, "Ms. Zhang is really bloody. According to what she said, I can also write a sentence. I think When she came out of Mingde Hall, there was no one around, and Mama Hu, who was making medicine, went out of the hut and ran to the clean room. She dodged in, and came out after a while, not wanting to be seen by me in the distance—— —Is it interesting to plant each other like this?"

Seventh Lady's eyes darkened a bit.

Mama Hu, who made the medicine, had indeed been to clean the room. She herself confessed that this was correct, but it did not spread in the mansion.

How did the fourth young lady know that Hu's mother had been to the clean room?It's just that she heard a little rumor, how did she weave this detail into the story in just a moment, and reproduce such a scene just right?
The Fourth Young Madam is not someone with a quick mind and a meticulous mind...

"That's right." She echoed the Fourth Young Madam calmly, "There is no real evidence, and it's too easy to spit out blood."

Fourth Young Madam carefully examined Qin Niangzi's expression, and seeing that she was indeed somewhat disapproving, she smiled reassuringly, "Hearing you say that, I thought you believed it! I thought to myself, You may not be deceived by the fifth sister-in-law, so that there will be a new rift between the two families, right?"

Seventh Lady smiled slightly, she held the fourth young lady's hand, and then winked at the fourth young lady, "Fourth sister-in-law, even if I want to give you a favor, I will also send the favor to your hand."

The fourth young lady suddenly realized, she smiled, "You, what a ghost."

While laughing, Seventh Lady tore up the letter in her hand and threw it into the wastebasket, and poured a cup of tea on it, and the soft rice paper immediately turned into a puddle of mud.

For Mrs. Fourth Young Master, I would read this letter openly to her. Naturally, I have given up the idea of ​​using this letter to embarrass Si Fang. Otherwise, she can make a public announcement to Pingguo in private. , why bother to send the handle left by Mrs. Wu to the person concerned.

"Hey." Seventh Lady seemed a little embarrassed, "Even if I want to embarrass Fourth Sister-in-law, there is no real evidence, what can I do with a letter? I have seen through Fifth Sister-in-law's calculations. If she is dead, she will create a barrier between our two rooms!"

The Fourth Young Madam didn't seem to mind at all what Seventh Lady said, "There is no real evidence, what can be done", she laughed heartily, "That's right, there is no real evidence, if you just say it, how can parents believe it? This move by Mrs. Zhang before she died, actually underestimated you!"

Seventh Lady smiled slightly, she didn't answer Fourth Young Madam's words, she just lowered her head and took a sip of tea.

Just pay attention, there are indeed flaws everywhere in the words of the Fourth Young Madam.

However, she was so relieved because there was no real evidence. Even if she was sure that the saffron was her handwriting, it would be difficult to clarify this matter and give her the punishment she deserved.

Thinking of this, Qin Niangzi couldn't help narrowing her eyes again. Suddenly, she felt that it would be good for herself to maintain a superficial harmony with Mrs. Fourth Young Madam.

At least she can still get a sense of security, and she doesn't have to worry about someone giving herself sterilization medicine because of a little verbal quarrel.

#
After returning from Shendu Hall, Seventh Lady's face was a little more worried. When she returned to Mingde Hall, she leaned against the window, thinking about it, and then opened the loose-leaf book, writing and drawing on the paper.

As long as Xu Fengjia was on duty, she would not come back for lunch as a rule. In the middle of the afternoon, Mrs. Xu went to talk to her again.

"I heard that the Duke of the Xiao family wanted to get rid of them quietly, but you said you would sell them to the Northeast?" Mrs. Xu was a little surprised, "The Duke of the country is a little puzzled, I don't know if it's the meaning of the fourth sister..."

Qin Niangzi hurriedly said, "It's my wife who said that rather than die, I would rather the Xiao family not survive or die. I thought about selling them to the Northeast for mining..."

Although this saved the Xiao family's life, it could indeed be regarded as a desperate attempt to survive and die.Mrs. Xu couldn't help but sighed a little, thought for a while, and said, "This is not a big deal, since Fourth Sister wants to do this, then let's do it this way."

He also asked a few words about the handling of the servants in Mrs. Wu Shao's yard, and learned that Xiao Fuchun and the others had been sent to a villa outside the city. It's too eye-catching.Mrs. Xu nodded in satisfaction, and then praised Qin Niangzi, "I'm at ease in your work."

Even though Qin Niangzi had a few lives in her hands, it was still a bit unnatural to talk about this kind of thing, so she changed the subject again and talked to Mrs. Xu about Yu Ping and Yu An's marriage.After a while, Mrs. Xu asked Qin Niangzi, "I lived in Leshan yesterday, what happened?"

Qin Niangzi knew very well: the story of Leshanju was still spread.

If Mrs. Tai didn't pretend to be sick and conflicted with herself in private, she would have conflicted. There were only two of them in the back hall, and this matter would never be heard by the third person.

But she didn't think through this level, and wanted to rely on the old to sell the old, and force Qiniangzi to submit. In the whole matter, she had already shown her passiveness invisibly.

There was a faint smile on Qin Niangzi's lips. Instead of answering Mrs. Xu, she asked, "I don't know if Dad has got the news?"

Mrs. Xu frowned immediately, and looked at Qinianzi carefully.

Seeing Qiniangzi's calm and calm demeanor, she knew something in her heart, and her brows that were originally tightly frowned slowly stretched out.

Mrs. Xu replied calmly, "That depends on whether you want the Duke to know."

Seventh Lady's smile also grew wider, and she said softly, "Well, of course I still want to, if the Duke doesn't ask, there are a lot of things to say, and it's hard for Xiao Qi to say it."
