concubine daughter

Chapter 6 Hong Zhen (2)
"Then you talk about it." Hong Zhen didn't mean to mock, as if he really wanted Man Qing to express his thoughts.

Man Qing thought for a moment, as if she had thought of something, but she had a cold and unworldly expression, "I was ill last night, but I just recovered today. I heard that the third master was ill for a long time, but when I saw him today, he didn't look haggard, but rather The spirit is bright and the appearance is dignified, which cannot be explained by a fake illness."

Hongzhen nodded thoughtfully, with tenderness in his eyes.

"The third master is clever and unpredictable. If you want to fake illness, it must be difficult for the concubine to tell the difference. Now that the concubine recognizes the third master and guesses the fake illness, it is all reminded by the third master." Man Qing looked at it. The tattoo on Hongzhen's arm is exclusive to the third master, Hongzhen did not hide it, presumably he deliberately told Man Qing his identity, "The third master is like this, is it because of his purpose?"

"Miss Bingxue is smart, I think I'm not as good. This time, I can't talk about the purpose, I just want to ask for something." Hong Zhen has been testing Man Qing's scheming just now, and Man Qing's cautiousness is no less than Hong Zhen's. , That's why Hongzhen said the reason.

"I'm afraid I'm taking advantage of it?" Man Qing said lightly, without a trace of tone.

"We have exchanged our minds, and we are husband and wife in love. I am a fake illness, and Fang Chang will not be able to hide it from my wife in the future. It is better to tell it early and keep my wife inside, so as to avoid adulterers making irresponsible remarks and causing my wife to change her way. I I hope my lady can help me sit on the position of the eldest son."

Hongzhen's tone was flat, although there was a lot of pleading in his expression, there was a different emotion in his eyes, and he wanted to use the surface of pleading to cover up his ambition.

Man Qing said coldly, "Since the third master said this, it is expected that he is also holding a handle on the concubine. If the concubine refuses, I am afraid it will not be good." There is no fear in the words, but the domineering is revealed, as if telling Hongzhen: I see through your thoughts, don't try to harm me.

"As long as the lady is smart now, I will treat her well." Hongzhen said something in his words, Yungong covered his healthy face, got up and left, with a smug smile on the corner of his mouth.

Man Qing didn't like this kind of married life, so she smiled helplessly, "Hmph, it's just mutual use."

When Manqing returned to Xiangyi Residence, seeing Hongzhen was here, she saluted and sat down.

"What orders does the third master have?" Man Qing raised his head to look, then lowered his head, Hongzhen really looked sick, he was really a cautious person, even the people in Liuxiangyuan wanted to hide it.

Hongzhen coughed a few times, looked at Manqing with blank eyes, "Have you ever heard of Yuanzi?"

Man Qing looked at Hong Zhen in confusion, trying to get information from Hong Zhen's eyes, but to no avail, so she replied: "No."

Hong Zhen glanced at his attendant Wen Chen, Wen Chen understood, and presented a small jar of medicine, guessing it was Yuanzi.

Man Qing's grandfather was originally an imperial physician in the palace, so Qing's mother also understands medical principles. Although Man Qing is not as good as Qing's mother, it is easy to see the diagnosis and differentiation of medicine.

Wen Chen opened the jar, the medicine in the jar was wrapped, and the medicine paper was dark yellow.

Man Qing took out one of the bags, opened it to identify it, her breath tightened in surprise, and she couldn't speak for a while.

"Arsenic..." Man Qing thought to herself, turning her head to look at Hong Zhen, who happened to meet his eyes.

Tears of tenderness shone in the eyes of the two of them, perhaps the wind and sand had blinded their eyes.

Hongzhen tilted his head, avoiding Manqing's eyes, and continued: "Yuanzi was given to me by my elder brother, who said it has miraculous effects on my cough."

The eldest brother Hongzhen talked about was the young master Xiahou Hongyao. Hongyao's biological mother was a concubine, and even the eldest son was not respected.The medicine was not given by Hongyao, and Hongzhen knew it well but could not tell.

The eldest son of Qin Xi's mansion is the second young master Hongjie. Hongyao and Hongzhen have always been thorns in his eyes. Because of their existence, the position of the eldest son is threatened. Hongyao sent poison to Hongzhen in the name of Hongyao, so as to kill two birds with one stone.

Hongjie's biological mother died a few years ago, so Hongjie had to work hard for his status.

"The uncle and the third master are really brothers. My concubine just has some coughing symptoms. I want to put Yuanzi in Xiangyi temporarily. I don't know what the third master wants?" Man Qing carefully pondered Hongzhen's thoughts, and this matter should not be reckless , we must first rule out Hongyao's suspicion, find out the maid who delivered the medicine, and then make the matter serious, so that Hongjie will suffer the consequences.

"If you want Yuanzi, take it. Besides, this is my prescription. You can go to the pharmacy next to the Hou's mansion to get some medicine."

Hong Zhen covered his mouth lightly, and coughed a few more times, "This is a family secret recipe, don't let others peek at it." Hong Zhen said paradoxically.

Man Qing Fushen expressed her understanding, "I'm resigning, so I'll go back to Gao Hongju first. Yunzhi, follow me out of the mansion."

Yunzhi put down the work she was doing, buried her head and walked to Manqing's side, "Yes." As she said, she helped Manqing step out of Xiangyiju.

"Grandma and the third master have such a good relationship. Just now, the slaves glanced at the third master. The third master's eyes were full of affection, but seeing grandma raised his head, he stopped his emotions. I really want to tell those slaves last night that our third master loves grandma! "

Yunzhi talked with relish, but Man Qing didn't respond, which made Yunzhi very anxious, "Grandma still wants to bear it? Now it's time to love, grandma should take advantage of the victory and pursue it!"

Man Qing walked calmly, just like last night, only with more coldness and less pity.

"Walls have ears." Man Qing only said four words, and Yun Zhi, who had been eloquent just now, fell silent, "Your servant is guilty."

Man Qing looked at Yunzhi's innocent and pitiful expression, sighed meaningfully, and thought: "Yunzhi, you are the only person I can trust in the Hou's mansion, even if you can't understand, you must be cautious in every way. The mansion is like a tiger prisoner, If he is a little careless, it must be his delicious food, even the husband is planning every step, let alone other people?"

Man Qing and Yun Zhi walked out of the Hou Mansion and walked to the pharmacy, when Haitang suddenly fell from the sky, and the sword in her hand was quickly inserted back into the scabbard, as if a fight had just ended.

"Haitang? You know martial arts?" Yunzhi was deeply puzzled, and stared at Haitang with wide eyes.

"Are you from the third master?" Man Qing boldly guessed.

"Grandma is very smart. The third master ordered his slaves to protect grandma."

Man Qing snorted coldly, it turned out that Hong Zhen had put eyeliner around her long ago, but she didn't notice it at all.Man Qing opened the prescription, which wrote about Yuan Zi, and instructed Man Qing to get rid of Hong Jie, and told Man Qing that the maidservant that Hong Jie bribed was called Wan Ruo.
