Reborn Concubine Queen

Chapter 126
Yang Lianxiang wept and said weakly: "Back to mother, Xin'er has a pure heart since she was a child, and she doesn't look at the slightest bit of blood. In recent days, she even accompanied me to chant scriptures and worship Buddha. In the past, she followed me as a vegetarian. Now that she heard the news, How can I not convulse!"

The old lady was impatient to hear her defending herself and Shi Xuanxin, so she just went to ask Shi Jingran: "Third brother, how do you deal with this matter?"

When Shi Jingran heard the old lady's question, he knew he couldn't avoid it, so he said with a white face: "Son, my son thinks, since the deceased has passed away, I can't give her anything, so it's better to arrange for her family well, so that she can serve her in our house in vain. "

The old lady hugged Yu Ruyi and sneered: "The third master is very good at planning, but I don't know if the third master has thought about it. If this matter is spread, not only your official minister will be held accountable by the emperor, but even both of you will be held accountable." It's hard for a brother to avoid making irresponsible remarks to others! Master Shi San, I think the reputation your father built will be ruined in your hands!"

These words were too serious, Shi Jingran bowed his head and dared not respond.

Although the old lady was annoyed, she was born after she was conceived in October, no matter how much she looked down on Yang Lianxiang, she still had plans for her son.Thinking of this, she let out a deep breath and called the bamboo breath closer: "You take my order and go down, just say that today's things are rotten in your stomach and you are not allowed to speak out, if anyone dares to speak out Words, immediately killed on the spot, and said to the outside world that he was a thief."

She raised her hand to touch Yu Ruyi, and said with no expression on her face: "As for the scorpion, it will be buried in the shape of the concubine in the mansion. To the outside world, it is said that the concubine died in the mansion. Since the first month is not out, it is an unlucky thing. It’s not advisable to make a big fuss, just set up a place in Fahua Temple for Buddhist lamps.”

Turning his eyes to look at Shi Yunyou who was twitching, he said in a cold voice: "Shi Yunyou has been naughty since she was a child, and she used to think that she could restrain herself by following Shi Xuanxin. Looking at her like this, she still looks like a young lady. I can’t believe it, this is the daughter of my Shi family.”

The old lady paused, and looked at Yang Lianxiang with her gaze: "Now that Shi Yunyou has grown up, she is about to reach the level of Ji, if she can't be disciplined, she will lose face to the Shi family. Qing Son, although your relationship with her is not very close, you are still your sister after all, and as a sister, you are also obliged to control her. "

Shi Yiqing was stunned for a moment by these words, and thought to himself that even Shi Yunying, her own sister, couldn't control her own sister, and making Shi Yunyou, who hated her so much, control her, was looking for death.

Even though he thought this way in his heart, Shi Yiqing still had to bow down to agree in face.

But who knew that Shi Yunyou didn't know which muscle was wrong, so he insisted on twisting his temper and shouting: "Grandma, grandma, You'er, don't let her look at You'er! You'er has a mother...a mother, and Aunt Cheng, even if it’s not good, there is still a sister who is married far away, how can she be a girl who came back from the countryside to take care of You’er?!”

Shi Jingran roared with a livid face: "Shi Yunyou!"

The old lady pointed at Shi Yunyou's nose and smiled angrily: "Okay, okay! You are so courageous now that you don't even pay attention to the words of an old woman like me! Okay, from now on you Old woman, I don’t care anymore! Who are you going to beat to death, or who is being beaten to death again? Old woman, I just don’t see it. You don’t need to worry about the Shi family’s reputation, and I don’t bother to care about it. When I’m old in a hundred years and see the Shi family’s ancestors and your father, I’ll go and apologize to them!”

Speaking of the excitement, the old lady burst into tears, struggling to stand up from the soft couch, and drove away everyone in the room, even the breath of bamboo could not stop it.

Shi Jingran saw that the old mother was angry, kowtowed and apologized, and saw that the old lady was almost out of breath, anxious and angry, afraid that the old lady would pass away, and his official reputation would be ruined.Thinking of this, Shi Yunyou became more and more annoyed that Shi Yunyou was not serious, and wished that he had never given birth to her.

Seeing that the old lady was almost convulsed with excitement, Zhu Xi quickly screamed out, together with Shi Yiqing, they carried the old lady into the heated kang of the warm pavilion. Applying it on the forehead, the old lady who was almost unconscious woke up.

Shi Jingran wanted to go into the Nuan Pavilion to see the old lady, the old lady was so angry when she saw Shi Jingran, she tried her best to throw the jade pillow beside her, Shi Yiqing and Zhu Xi didn't stop her, she saw the jade pillow from the old lady The man's hand came out, and it hit the pedal softly, making a hole in it.

Yang Lianxiang subconsciously exclaimed, and looked at the jade pillow distressedly. This appearance fell into the eyes of the old lady, and she became more and more annoyed, scolding Shi Jingran and Yang Lianxiang for being a wolf-hearted couple.

That Shi Yunyou was so shocked by the series of events that happened, she was about to follow Shi Jingran into the Nuan Pavilion, but she was afraid of being scolded by the old lady if she saw her, so she was about to hide behind Shi Jingran when Shi Jingran saw her and pulled her away He pulled it out and slapped the old lady hard in front of her face.

The crisp voice resounded through the whole Nuan Pavilion, everyone looked at Shi Yunyou, who was biting blood from the corner of his mouth, with different expressions, and Shi Jingran said angrily: "It's all caused by you, the loser! If it wasn't for you Going to find Jia'er to fight, how could she be killed, and how angry the old ancestor almost lost his temper! I think you should be sent out of the mansion a few years ago, and you should also stay outside for a while, Lest you kill everyone here!"

The huge Chunhui hall was silent for a moment, and the old lady who was slowly panting looked at Shi Yunyou who was crying silently on the ground, sneered indifferently, and said: "You don't want to act in front of me, who doesn't know This catastrophe is your treasure, maybe if you hit her today, you will blame me for it tomorrow, my old woman can't bear a slap from you."

Shi Jingran knelt on the ground and wailed loudly, saying: "Mother's words, don't you want to force your son to death?!"

The old lady became angry, pointed at Shi Jingran and shouted, "Are I going to force you to death, or is your family coming to force me to death? Shi Jingran, I gave birth to you and raised you, and I taught you the ways of Confucius and Mencius all the time. Is this how you are filial?! I have worked hard for the Shi family all my life, and passed on the family business that your father worked so hard to pass on to you. I think I am useless as an old woman. It is obvious that you want to piss me off. You're just happy, aren't you?"

She breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a cold voice: "I understand what you mean! I think your family is trying to piss me off, thinking that I, an old woman, has not died after so long, and I feel unhappy , Don’t you?! You’ve pissed me off to death, and then your wish will be fulfilled, you’ll be separated, and you’ll be able to go out and live a happy life with your share, right!”

Just as he was speaking in a fit of anger, he saw the elder master Shi Jingxi and the second master Shi Jingxun, who had heard the news, kneeling at the door of the Nuan Pavilion with pale faces, kowtowing and saying: "Mother must never say such words, mother must never say such words what!"

The old lady pointed at the eldest and the second and howled in a hoarse voice: "It's good that you two come, I can't live this life anymore, if it continues like this, sooner or later, I will be punished by that scoundrel Shi Jingran." I'm so mad! You three are here, and while I'm still here, according to the last proposal, let's divide this house quickly. I'll move out of Shi's house to make room for you, so don't get in your way. Eyes, piss me off again!"

Shi Jingxi stepped forward on his knees first, holding the old lady's hand with tears in his eyes: "Mother, it's the sons' fault, it's the son who didn't teach the third child well, that's why today's incident happened, you are old and weak, Don't get sick from anger!"

Thinking that Shi Jingxi and Shi Jingxun already knew the development of this matter before they came to Chunhui Hall, they wanted to stand on the sidelines, and even ignored it with the idea of ​​suppressing Shi Jingran, but they didn't expect Shi Jingran to confront the old lady, and the two of them would die Crying alive, this made Shi Jingxi and Shi Jingxun unable to sit still, so they rushed over in a hurry.

Seeing that this matter was getting worse and worse, Shi Yiqing intentionally avoided it, gave Zhu Xi a wink, and then retreated quietly, just happened to bump into Fang Fei who had been looking for from Ran Yuezhi, and stopped her, saying bitterly: "You come here What are you doing here?"

Fang Fei saw that it was Shi Yiqing, and hurriedly said: "I heard from the maids in Baifang Garden that there was a commotion in Chunhui Hall, and this servant wanted Miss to be here. I was afraid that Miss would not have enough manpower, so I hurried over here."

Shi Yiqing let out a deep breath, but didn't make a sound.

Shi Yiqing had her own plans. She knew that it was not a simple matter for the old lady to ask her to come here. At first, she thought maybe she wanted to take care of Shi Yunyou by herself, but then she turned her eyes and thought again, the old lady might not know Shi Yunyou hated herself to the point where her teeth itch, how could she take care of her?

The sun in the distance was about to set, but the moon in the sky impatiently rose up first. Shi Yiqing thought about it for a while, and couldn't help thinking about Shi Yunying who was married far away.I'm afraid that if Shi Yunying opened her mouth, even if the old lady didn't want to interfere, she would take it first and then push it into her hands.

Just as she was lost in thought, Fang Fei who was standing by the side gently pushed Shi Yiqing, looked not far away and called softly: "Sister Zhuxi."

Shi Yiqing followed Fang Fei's line of sight, and indeed saw Zhu Xi walking towards Shi Yiqing, and asked, "What do you want me to do?"

"It's true." Shi Yiqing said seriously, "I don't want to talk too much with you, but I just wonder why grandma called me over for such a thing in the mansion?"

Zhu Xi touched the corner of his mouth and smiled wryly: "Where can the old lady think that these things will happen later."

She paused, and said with a weird expression: "Miss Nine, time is precious, I will not play riddles with you anymore, just to remind you, the old lady is still worried about the third master, I am afraid that she wants to find someone for the third master opportunity. Do you know what I mean?"

Shi Yiqing was stunned for a moment, and when he was about to ask in detail, Zhu Xi looked back at Nuan Ge with an anxious expression on his face, and hurriedly said: "Miss Nine, you should go back first, I'm afraid this matter will cause trouble." I won’t be able to figure it out until tomorrow, when the old lady asks the girl to call you, you can just come to say hello again.”

These words were really for the good of Shi Yiqing, Shi Yiqing hurriedly thanked her, and then watched Zhu Xi hurried back to the Nuan Pavilion to serve her.

As it was getting late, Fang Fei borrowed a red lantern from the ear room, surrounded Shi Yiqing and went back to dye the moon.

Before Shi Yiqing sat still, he asked Huazhu to find Jianliu and He Mu came over and asked, "Have all the maids and mothers in our yard come back? If all the girls and mothers in our yard are back, we will lock the gate of the yard, unlock the key, and turn off the lights." When the light is turned on, no matter who it is, they just say that I drank the medicine and fell asleep, and they all refuse and are not allowed to open the door."

He Mu, who had heard about it a little bit, asked nervously: "Miss, are you afraid that the ladies will find you?"

Shi Yiqing said with a dazed expression: "I'm afraid, the Shi mansion is going to change today."

There were fireworks exploding in the sky, and suddenly there was a loud noise, which caused Shi Yiqing's heartbeat to fluctuate. He hurriedly moved his eyes to look, and saw that it was in the distance, presumably the garden was closer to the street, and someone set off fireworks, so he saw it for real of.

After being served by Mo Xian and the others, Shi Yiqing changed into normal clothes, washed up briefly, took off his shoes and socks and lay down on the heated kang, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, half asleep and half awake all night, until dawn when he was sleepy I fell asleep a little.

After all, the old lady in Chunhui Hall was making a fuss. According to people who inquired about it, she cried and quarreled with the three masters in the middle of the night, and almost fainted again. , Only then did the old lady be rescued.Now that the old lady just fell asleep, the three masters didn't dare to leave rashly, they all asked for leave in front of the emperor, and they all stayed in Chunhui Hall.

Shi Yiqing sat on the armchair with an indifferent expression, staring at the scarlet carpet on the floor in a daze, no one knew what else to think about.

Just after noon, Shi Yiqing reluctantly ate a mouthful of stalked rice porridge. She still had to persuade her, but Shi Yiqing asked, "Is Lianying back yet?"

Jian Liu was taken aback, and asked people to go down to look for Lian Ying, and after a while, she saw Lian Ying coming back from the gate of the courtyard, and hurriedly led her to Shi Yiqing, knowing that the two of them had something to say, she led the maids back out .

Shi Yiqing raised his eyes to look at the shadow of the curtain, and asked in a deep voice, "What's happening in Tangli Courtyard?"

Lian Ying lowered her eyes and replied: "Miss Hui's words, there is no movement for the time being, presumably that person has already sealed her mouth, and no one is allowed to mention it."

"Didn't you say that there is a girl who has a good relationship with Jia'er? What about her?"

"Miss Hui, the servant sent money to sneak into the firewood room where she was held and took a look, and told her the news of Jia'er's death, but Sui'er didn't respond and didn't say anything."

Shi Yiqing frowned, and asked suspiciously: "That Jia'er spent money and risked his life for her, how could that Sui'er not respond."

She turned her eyes and thought about it and said: "Unless, she knew the fate of Jia'er early in the morning. Or, she hid her thoughts, fearing that she wanted to avenge Jia'er." Speaking of this, she sneered and said, "I would rather Look, what kind of trouble Tangliyuan will use in the future."

Lian Ying said with a sad face: "This servant is clumsy and did not complete what Miss ordered."

Shi Yiqing smiled lightly, and said slowly: "You've done well. Don't worry, in a few days, when Sui'er recovers from his injury, he will naturally contact us. What we have to do now is to make money for the fisherman."

After finishing speaking, she asked again: "I asked you to find some people to talk to and get the money out, can you do it?"

Lian Ying hurriedly replied: "Miss asked me to talk to them, the slaves didn't dare to delay, and told the lady's original words, but they didn't look very good after hearing it, and they were reluctant to give Yinzi a look. "

Shi Yiqing sneered secretly, and said that most of the people that Madam Xu controlled were in the hands of the Xiao family. Now even if they are unwilling or unwilling to use her as pawns, they have no choice but to follow what she said. Say what she wants to say, and do what she wants to express.

Reaching out to take the teacup, Shi Yiqing took a sip of the tea, looked at the shadow of the screen and smiled, then took out a tael of broken silver from his sleeve and handed it to her, saying to her: "From now on, you must always Stare in the direction of Tangli Courtyard, and let me know if that person makes any noise, understand?"

Lian Ying took the broken silver, knelt on the ground and thanked her thousands of times, then heard Shi Yiqing continue: "Although this silver is easy to get, you should know that it is not visible, and I don't think you will publicize it everywhere." , Ruin the reputation of Ranyuezhi. Lianying, you will be my right-hand man in the future, and it will be just around the corner to replace Madam Xu. Don’t you want to be the first-class girl in my house, and marry in a prosperous future? person?"

Hearing such a temptation, Lian Ying's peach blossom eyes sparkled, "But according to Miss's orders."

Seeing that Lian Ying was really smart, Shi Yiqing smiled with satisfaction, took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "You have to remember, what happened today is rotten in your stomach, even if someone tortures you to extract a confession, you can't tell it. In the future, I will not be able to do without your share, remember it?"

Seeing Lian Ying nodding her head like a slap in the face, she smiled and waved her hand to make her retreat.

Shi Yiqing put down the porcelain bowl in his hand, got up and walked to the study compartment, waved his hand to make the attendant cut out, and said, "From now on, you will only be allowed in this study without my permission. Get out."

She left in response, Shi Yiqing listened attentively to the sounds outside, making sure that there was no one else outside the window, then carefully took out the list that Madam Xu had hidden from her bosom, looked at each other carefully, silently Keep it in mind.Only when you are really familiar with it and in your heart can you burn it in front of the red candle at the corner of the table.

The fiery red fireworks engulfed the yellowed paper, Shi Yiqing watched coldly as the fire grew bigger and bigger, and finally opened his bloody mouth to swallow all the handwriting, spreading upwards continuously, as if he wanted to ignite Shi Yiqing's fingers.

Madam Xu's handwriting gradually disappeared in the flames, leaving only a mass of black confetti slumped on the ground, stretching her body as if struggling silently, and it, which could not be redeemed, finally returned to tranquility.
