The Concubine's Survival Manual

Chapter 97

When Qin Niangzi came out from the outer courtyard, there was a lot of worry between her brows.

She went straight into the hall of the main courtyard.

The eldest wife had just taken a nap, so she was a bit surprised to see Qin Niangzi. "Why didn't you go to Zhu Yingtai?"

Looking at the time, it's time for the daughters to take embroidery lessons.

Qin Niangzi said plainly, "Father wanted to see me, so I went to the outer courtyard with Manager Niu. I didn't want to accept the urgent mail from Zhejiang, so there was a commotion."

The eldest lady sat up straight at once, "The Liu family? Is there something wrong with the military rations?"

After all, it is the wife of an official, no matter how inconspicuous she usually is, when it comes to a critical moment, she can still pick it up.

Qin Niangzi didn't hide her worry, "Well, according to Mr. Niu, the Liu family has impeached his father for being an expert and accepting bribes..."

The eldest lady's face was immediately covered with a layer of worry.

"Father was also furious, and now he ordered all the generals to go to Hangzhou and lock Mr. Liu to Beijing to wait for punishment. The charge is that Mr. Liu abolished the government for private reasons, seized military rations without authorization... colluding with cronies in private." Seventh Lady sighed deeply.

The eldest lady's expression changed drastically immediately, and she muttered to herself.

"Is that why your father called you over?" After a long time, the eldest lady asked.

But also absent-minded.

Qin Niangzi said lightly, "Father sent all the masters away, but he asked me a few words, all asking whether my mother's body has recovered."

Thinking about it, Eldest Master was also afraid that Eldest Wife would become ill again after hearing about the Liu family's affairs.

It is conceivable that when he came back from Hangzhou, he made an understatement, because he didn't want to make the eldest wife on the hospital bed sad.

Although the two couples had many conflicts, they supported each other after all and went through these years.

How could the eldest lady not understand the truth of this.

"Even if you don't recover, you will recover after hearing this." She smiled wryly. "What kind of family is the Liu family? Your father wants to fight against the Liu family for a moment of pride? Fortunately, my second uncle is not on the road yet, and our family has to make arrangements for ourselves."

Qin Niangzi also had no choice but to comfort the eldest wife, "Father knows well..."

How could the elder have lost his wrists all the way from a down and out man to today.

The eldest wife asked Qin Niangzi a few more words, and then sent Qin Niangzi, "Go back to the West Side Courtyard to rest, and don't go to class in the afternoon. I'm afraid you won't even be able to use lunch in the Outer Side Courtyard. Go get some snacks."

Also called Ms. Wang, "Please come over here, first lady, and then pass on the boss Niu."

Although Qin Niangzi is exquisite, she is still young, and she can't say anything about the affairs in the court.

At this time, it's even more important to be a first-time lady.

Seventh Lady didn't say much, and went back to the West Side Courtyard silently.

All the way just in trance.

After returning to the West Side Courtyard, he lay down on the plum blossom table thinking about something, and asked Bai Lu after a while.

"You talk about the genealogy, how should I tell my wife?"

Li Xia and Bai Lu looked at each other and put down their work.

"Father intends to raise the house for Jiu Yiniang, please grant an imperial order." Seventh Lady didn't mean to hide it either. "However, I'm afraid that my mother will lose her temper, so she wants me to accompany her to persuade her..."

Li Xia and Bai Lu couldn't help but look at each other.

The old man really did his best.

Seventh Lady had just gained some face in front of the eldest wife, so she wanted to let her speak up and speak for Jiu Yiniang.

I don't even think about it, whether this little face is worthy of such a big matter!
But Jiu Yiniang is Qi Niangzi's biological mother after all... How could Qi Niangzi say no?
Qin Niangzi smiled wryly, "Fortunately, the Liu family has such a big trouble, and my second uncle can't go on the road for a while. It depends on how big the trouble of the Liu family will be."

She tried her best to pull herself together, and then told Li Xia, "Come on, let's go into the garden, and Fifth Sister should also know about this."

The collapse of the Liu family and the Yang family is big news to everyone in the Yang family, of course Fifth Lady should know about it.

Lixia followed Seventh Lady into Baifang Garden.

When passing under the main room, he could vaguely hear the voice of Niu Boss speaking.

Of course, the eldest lady wanted to ask Mr. Niu about the inside story of this matter.

Seventh Lady didn't stop either.

He took Lixia into Baifang Garden, but instead of going in the direction of Yuelai Pavilion, he took her to the edge of Wanhualiu.

Wanhua lived in this area, and in the past few years, she also lived with the fourth aunt, the third wife, and the fourth lady.

If Lixia realizes something.

It was just afternoon, the sun was still strong, and there were not many people in the garden.

Qiniangzi ordered Lixia in a low voice, "Go to Xikefang and pass a message, just say that I am enjoying the coolness in the Jieyu Pavilion... I want to have some tea for a while, please ask Xikefang to help prepare it."

Near the Jieyu Pavilion, that is, there is a small teahouse in Xikefang all the year round.Although the excuse that Qinianzi made is simple, it is not easy to be punctured.

If Fourth Yiniang still has the heart to work hard on Third Lady's marriage, she will naturally not miss the opportunity to talk to Seventh Lady.

Regardless of the outcome of the confrontation between the Yang family and the Liu family, Qin Niangzi is not prepared to shelve her plan.

Even if it can't be a one-hit kill, it will still make the second wife feel heartbroken.

She quickly entered the Xieyu Pavilion, opened the window, and let the cool afternoon breeze slowly blow into the pavilion.

At the same time, he also pondered the gains and losses of going to the family tree.

"You have lived in the Yang Family Village. No one knows the affairs of the clan better than your mother and daughter." The elder's attitude was still very calm, but he did not have the unconcealable anger that he had when he was in the Liu family. "When our family is proud, naturally no one will come out to oppose us. Once something goes wrong, I'm afraid someone will be ready to plot the family property that your mother and I have worked so hard to manage over the years."

"The purpose of raising the house for Jiu Yiniang is to praise Brother Jiu's background. Your mother will not understand this, but it has been a month or two since I mentioned this matter, but she still refuses to answer me."

"Even if we made arrangements for future generations in front of the hospital bed, there was no mention of raising the house for Jiu Yiniang."

"Although your elder sister is sensible, it is still more appropriate for you, your own daughter, to speak out about Jiu Yiniang's affairs, and there is a reason for speaking, so as not to embarrass your mother and make people think that she is narrow-minded and unwilling to praise Aunt You Zi " There seemed to be some sarcasm on the lips of the elder, "For your diligence and filial piety, I think your mother will give you this dignity."

You can see how profound his city is just by seeing how the elder was furious at the Liu family one moment ago, and then calmly settled down with her in the inner house the next moment.

On the contrary, Qin Niangzi felt relieved: the old man must have a good idea in his heart, and the attack on Liu's family was a deliberate decision.

The power and position of the Yang family should not be affected in any way.

It's just that the matter of asking Jiu Yiniang to seal the imperial order caused Qiniangzi to suffer so much that she couldn't tell.

Everyone is dead, is mourning so important?
Even if Jiu Yiniang was granted the first-rank and second-rank orders, there was no way to bring her back to life.

Speaking for Jiu Yiniang's order, it is very likely that the little relationship between myself and the eldest wife that has just been cultivated will change again.

Only after making meritorious service, he spoke up for Jiu Yiniang's imperial order, but it seemed that his intentions were not pure, and he wanted to repay his kindness.

As long as the second wife can be suppressed, isn't Ninth Brother's position as stable as Mount Tai?Compared with the second wife's threat, Jiu Yiniang's imperial order is a negligible bargaining chip...

But if you don't ask for a seal for Jiu Yiniang, it will be too unreasonable in terms of filial piety.

I'm afraid even Jiu Ge won't understand, right?

Qin Niangzi thought of those few words that brother Jiu said on the hospital bed.

"I thought she could wait until I grow up..."

How could Brother Nine not care about his biological mother's orders from the bottom of his heart?
Seventh Lady became a little irritable.

There is no one way to satisfy everyone.

The light and delicate footsteps of the fourth aunt came from the small bamboo bridge.

Seventh Lady quickly put on a full smile and took a deep breath.

"Fourth aunt." She greeted with a smile. "Coincidentally, you also come to see the scenery?"

"Seventh Lady." Fourth Auntie's eyes were flickering, full of incomprehensible thoughts. "Yeah...to see the scenery too."

The two sat down opposite each other.

#
The news of the split between the Yang family and the Liu family quickly spread throughout Suzhou.

Even Jingli got the news in just a few days.

Both the Qin family and the Xu family sent their servants to send letters quickly, and the second master even sent three or four letters in a row to find out the reason.

The second wife was also so frightened that she wiped her tears as soon as she entered the main courtyard, and yelled that the old man was too reckless.
