Reborn Concubine Queen

Chapter 31
The rumor of the murder of Aunt Xiao, the third wife, spread quickly, but in just one day, there were countless versions. Among them, the murder of Aunt Xiao by the third wife, Yang, was recognized as the truth by the maids and mothers in the house. And he never tired of tossing out those innocent aunts who died unjustly before the third room.

One person said: "Do you still remember the Aunt Zhou who was especially favored by our third master a few years ago? It's that Suzhou singer! She is so young and beautiful, and she married into our house in just a few years. He was forced to hang himself by the third lady, and every night on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, he could hear the graceful singing faintly coming from Sanfang, it is said that it was the ghost of Aunt Zhou singing!"

Another person said: "Aunt Zhou was not the only one who was forced to death by the third lady? If Aunt Xiao was not from the Xiao family, and she had served the first lady closely, the third lady would have taken care of this thorn in her side!"

But the person before said: "The third wife doesn't care whether Aunt Xiao is from the Xiao family or not, and whether she is valued by the Xiao family. She just didn't find the right time to do it."

Another person said: "I see that you are all thinking wrong. It is not the third lady who poisoned Aunt Xiao to kill her! My cousin who works next to the third lady told me that it was actually the fourth lady who wanted Aunt Xiao's life." If it weren't for Aunt Xiao's fate, she would have met King Hades by now!"

As soon as the words fell, someone jumped out and retorted: "Your cousin is just like you, she can't speak properly! Who is that Aunt Xiao? That is the biological mother of our Fourth Miss! The Fourth Miss has just returned home for only a month. Time, it is said that she didn't even see the face of her biological mother, why did she want to murder Aunt Xiao for no reason? There is no reason at all!"

The person who was refuted immediately screamed: "What is impossible?! My cousin heard it with her own ears, saying that Aunt Xiao ate the food sent by the fourth lady, and she would die immediately! If Aunt Xiao was not obedient and noticed If something is wrong, if you have eaten some herbal medicine first to dissolve the poison, I am afraid that Aunt Xiao will die long ago!"

"You are really stupid to death! Don't even think about it. If Aunt Xiao dies after eating Miss Si's food, can Miss Si get out of the relationship? What good will this do for Miss Si? Besides, Oh, my mother was serving by the old lady's side, she said that the food was not delivered by the fourth lady at all, someone harmed the fourth lady, and she was named as the evil star of the fourth lady, so that she framed the fourth lady!"

The noisy voice became more and more sharp, and everyone was afraid of alarming the lady, and finally broke up unhappy.Hiding among the crowd, Yinxiu walked around the garden without making a sound, quickly turned back to Ningxie Hall, and carefully looked at the maid who was waiting outside the house, then entered the house, and found the woman standing in front of the table. Shi Yiqing who practiced calligraphy on the wrist.

Yin Xiu didn't care to wipe off the dense sweat on his forehead, and leaned forward and said, "Miss, people in the mansion have spread the word, and there are all kinds of things. It seems that they saw it with their own eyes, and it is worse than what the servant girl said. To be vivid."

Shi Yiqing threw the pen in his hand, picked up the towel on the table and wiped his hands, and said with a half-smile: "This matter is done well, when Mother Xu comes back, I will ask her to bring you some delicious food." .”

Yin Xiu happily thanked Shi Yiqing, helped her wash and comb her hair, and asked softly, "Miss, it's already past noon, where are you going?"

Shi Yiqing raised his eyes and looked at Yinxiu indifferently in front of him, rolled up his clothes and said slowly: "Yinxiu, although you haven't been with me for long, I think you know my rules and shouldn't ask, Don't ask, when I can tell you, I will definitely not hide it from you. Okay, I can come here by myself, go down and see if Madam Xu is back, and if she comes back, let her in quickly .”

With a pale face, Xiuxue bowed and retreated, just in time to bump into Madam Xu who had just turned around the courtyard, said hello and hurried towards the direction of the kitchen.

Mother Xu didn't care about Yinxiu's expression, she hurried to Shi Yiqing's side, and said cautiously: "Miss, we have reserved a place at Dengxian Pavilion. I don't know when and how we will go?"

Shi Yiqing curled her lips and smiled slightly: "Nurse, it's not easy to get out of Shi's house? Let's dress up as maids and wives and go out. The difficult thing is how to come back without others noticing. "

"Miss, do you have an idea?"

Shi Yiqing nodded, and said: "Nurse, I will take Yinxiu to the old lady's Chunhui Hall first, and wait for me at the corner gate after I leave, and tell the outside world that I am a newcomer." It's just the maid. Let's go and come back quickly, so we won't be discovered by anyone."

Mother Xu said worriedly: "My lady, if you have to see that person to make you feel at ease, I'll just sneak him out for you. Why do you have to go out in such a dangerous way? Third Madam Now we are waiting for us to make mistakes, we can't make another wrong step!"

Shi Yiqing smiled inscrutablely, and said comfortingly, "Don't worry, Mammy, Qing'er has her own opinions in doing things, and I will not take this step unless it is absolutely necessary. You should stop nagging here, and help I found that girl Yinxiu, I just said a few words to her just now, but she ran away, I don't know where she went."

Madam Xu had no choice but to call a little girl from the head office and ask her to look for Yinxiu in the direction of the kitchen. She waited and waited until she couldn't see Yinxiu's shadow, and became more and more anxious: "Where did this girl go to fool around?" I'm not coming back yet."

"Forget it, our time is limited, so don't wait for her, I think we should go with Jianliu." Shi Yiqing asked someone to find Jianliu who was resting, took a change of clothes, and went out of the courtyard to Chunhui Hall direction went.

The girl waiting on the porch saw Shi Yiqing, she saluted with familiarity, and said with a smile: "Why is Fourth Miss here at this time? The old lady just had lunch and took a nap."

Shi Yiqing raised her eyebrows, smiled dignifiedly, and said, "The scriptures I wrote for my grandmother have not yet been completed, and I am thinking about it, and I don't care about my grandmother's lunch break, so I hurried over to finish it. I don't know where sister Zhuxi is now? But she is waiting inside Are you looking at grandma?"

The girl said: "Sister Zhuxi was on duty last night. I think she is resting in the house now, and she never served the old lady."

Shi Yiqing thanked the girl with a nod, walked around the corridor, and found the quietest corner of the yard, where there was a study room specially packed for her. The house can be said to be a sky and an underground.

The scent of ink bursts from the room, bringing a warmth rushing towards her face. Shi Yiqing walked steadily into the room, and a faint green in the room on the left was swept by the wind and then disappeared suddenly. Waiting outside the door, carefully checked the surroundings to see if there were other people around, and then opened the bead curtain and walked inside.

Zhu Xi held a high-quality Langhao pen and looked at Shi Yiqing with a half-smile, and said in a deep voice: "Miss Si is really a real person, she is so calm."

Shi Yiqing untied the cloak draped over his shoulders, turned around and sat down on the short rose chair beside him, tapped the pear wood table with his fingers regularly, and smiled slightly: "Sister Zhuxi praised you, Qing'er is just It is to act righteously, not to be afraid of being framed by others."

Zhu Xi raised his eyebrows and said: "Since the fourth lady is doing the right thing, she can sit down well if she wants to, but why do you let the people around you spread rumors everywhere, and insist on making the whole thing bigger? Isn't the fourth lady afraid of making things worse?" If my reputation spreads out, will it ruin Qingbai's reputation and harm myself?"

"My sister's words are really inexplicable. Why did Qing'er let the people around her create rumors to cause trouble? Sister Zhuxi served by her grandmother's side, and she has much better experience than Qing'er, a country girl. Naturally, she knows that there are some things to say. Things have to rot in the stomach, otherwise it is really not worth it to burn yourself."

Zhu Xi paused the hand holding the pen, and subconsciously restrained his expression: "Miss Fourth, are you threatening the servant?"

Shi Yiqing got up and walked steadily in front of Zhu Xi, took the Langhao brush in Zhu Xi's hand, and said softly: "Qing'er didn't mean that, Qing'er just thinks that sister Zhu Xi is a smart person and should know how to do it. That would help you, wouldn't it?"

Zhu Xi turned his eyes to stare at Shi Yiqing, and smiled suddenly, as bright as a peach blossom: "What Miss Si said is that Zhu Xi has offended too many people in this life, and there are really not many people who want to see how the servants die. At least, I'm afraid I'll have to rely on Fourth Miss to help the servants a little bit from now on."

Shi Yiqing looked down at the words written by Zhu Xi, deepened the smile on his cheeks, and said softly: "My sister is Qing'er's great benefactor, but Qing'er can do whatever you want, why bother to say such words to test What about Qing'er? If there is a rift between you and me for no reason, that would be bad."

After finishing speaking, she turned around and walked quickly to the soft couch in the distance, unbuttoned the skirt of her clothes, changed into the indigo blue jacket worn by the servant girl in the mansion, and the official green bijia, and removed the golden hair on the topknot. The hairpin, with her hair in a simple bun, was inserted with a cloudy glass hairpin, and she was about to go out after finishing everything.

Zhu Xi stopped Shi Yiqing halfway, and said with an uneasy expression: "Miss Si, don't blame me for not reminding you. You are a troublesome person in recent troubled times. If you go out rashly today and are discovered by others, then you will be a little bit of a pickpocket." People dare to say anything, and dare to pour any dirty water on you, even if you have a thousand mouths, you still can't understand clearly."

Shi Yiqing smiled calmly and said: "Sister, don't worry, I will take full responsibility for what happened, and I have nothing to do with my sister. Besides, has my sister ever seen me throw a rock at my own foot? Elder sister can't let go, at worst, go out with me and watch me leave through the corner door, okay?"

Zhu Xi hesitated again and again, shook his head slightly, and said: "I think it's better to forget it, follow you out, watch you leave, doesn't it prove that I have been helping you all the time? I have made countless enemies now, I don't want to anger the third lady because of this matter."

Shi Yiqing lowered his eyes and smiled, then stopped talking, and quickly walked out the door, avoiding everyone's attention, and headed towards the corner door.
