Aristocratic Concubine

Chapter 247 What is the most annoying cousin (2)
"Old Madam, the former Empress Dowager said something very important to her granddaughter-in-law. My grandson didn't understand it well, so I wanted to ask you for advice." Wanqing said, looking straight at the old matriarch.

The old matriarch's eyes flickered slightly, and said to the eldest wife and the third young mistress: "You two go down first, if you have something to say, it's fine for others to pass it on. You are your own family, elders and sisters-in-law, don't look at those who don't know much. , and learn to chew your tongue. Who is involved in this matter, you should know in your heart, just don't let the trouble come out of your mouth."

The eldest lady heard cold sweat behind her back, and understood that the old lady still doted on Wanqing as before.He got up sullenly, and went out with the third young mistress, and when the third young mistress was about to leave, she patted Wanqing on the shoulder comfortingly, and left without saying a word.

Wanqing told about the Emperor being poisoned by a Gu, and the Empress Dowager asked her to go to the palace to detoxify the Emperor: "The Emperor himself knows that he is not sick, but is infected by a Gu. My husband said that my blood may be able to save him." Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager means that I often go to the palace, and when the emperor gets poisoned, I will detoxify him."

The old matriarch's face changed suddenly, and she looked at Wanqing with sharp old eyes, and said coldly: "So? What about Li'er, what about Li'er? His current body...is also because of you. It's getting better, are you going to leave Li'er?"

Wanqing met the old matriarch's gaze, and said coldly: "Old ancestor, do you think granddaughter-in-law can decide this matter by herself?"

The old matriarch's eyes flickered again and said: "Now if you only want your blood to detoxify the emperor without endangering your life, this is a good thing for the Jingning Houfu. You have no control over this matter. I'm afraid that the Jingning Hou's Mansion can't be the master of this. Tomorrow, I will go to the palace to find the Empress Dowager. If the Queen Mother insists on letting you enter the palace, then... Li'er can only make peace with you and give you a free body. Now This way, it will be convenient for you to enter the palace, and the reputation of the Hou Mansion will not be dragged down too much, grandson daughter-in-law, don't blame me for being too cruel, this kind of thing is not something that the Hou Mansion can control."

Sure enough, the safety of the Hou Mansion is the first priority. The more Wanqing listens, the colder her heart becomes. She thought that with the old lady's wisdom and her love for her in the past, the old lady would be reluctant to give herself away as a gift. Unexpectedly, the old lady made a decision without any hesitation, and leave?Do you want to make peace with that person?The boundless pain swept over again, almost drowning her.

She no longer had the strength to deal with the old lady, so she turned around numbly, ready to go out.

"No, I can't let my daughter-in-law reconcile with Li'er." Wanqing raised her foot when she heard a firm word coming from the hallway.

Looking up, I saw Jingning Hou striding in from the outside, "Mother, the matter hasn't reached this point yet, and the emperor didn't say what to do with his daughter-in-law. Now that there is such a little rumor, our house is about to rest." If you marry your daughter-in-law, wouldn't that make things worse, and push the old five family to death? It's too unreasonable to do so."

Wanqing looked at the resolute Lord Hou in surprise. After she entered the mansion, she didn't say a few words to him, but she and Shangguan Yeli plotted against Yu Xinyou against him. It was Lord Hou who spoke for himself.

"Master Hou, you can think clearly, don't lose the big because of small things. You have stayed with the emperor for more than ten years. Don't you know what kind of temperament the emperor is? The so-called sacred heart is unpredictable. Put the entire Hou Mansion in danger." The old matriarch said sharply.

"Mother, you haven't reached that point yet, so you can't go too far. Now the emperor's intentions are not clear. The five members of the old family can be regarded as the ones who saved the emperor. Now we have dealt with the five families. If the emperor shocked What should I do if I get angry?" Hou Ye said with his thick eyebrows furrowed tightly.

The old matriarch stopped holding on, waved his hand and said to Wanqing: "Go down, stay in the mansion honestly these few days, don't go out casually, and let the front door of the Hou's mansion be quiet. quiet."

These words were really serious, Wanqing narrowed her eyes slightly, suppressed the resentment in her heart, bowed to Lord Hou, and turned to go out.

However, Lord Hou chased him out from the house, with a heavy voice: "Old Wu family, don't think too much, you are kind to Li'er, as a father, you have seen it, and Li'er is in good health now, you can't do it!" No, don't worry, Father Marquis will try his best to keep you and Li'er even if he loses this title."

Wanqing choked up and nodded, and just about to say something, she heard Lord Hou say in a low voice: "When you got married, the picture that my father gave you, can you keep it?"

Wanqing looked at Lord Hou in surprise, and nodded. She was about to ask what kind of picture it was, when Lord Hou said again: "There should be another half of the picture in Li'er's jade, but that piece of jade I can’t solve it no matter what, I don’t know where the secret is, you have to keep these two things away, don’t lose them.”

Wanqing was completely stunned when she heard that, she never knew what that piece of jade represented, and she had doubted before whether it was the other half of that blueprint, but now that she has been confirmed by Lord Hou, she is even more puzzled, then Can a small piece of jade hide a blueprint inside?It is simply impossible.

Lord Hou also seemed to see that Wanqing didn't believe it, so he smiled and said: "There is indeed a secret in it, I don't know what it is, not everyone in the Ouyang family knows it, only the heirs It's a pity that Li'er's mother died too early, those people didn't open her mouth in the end, and she left with the secret."

Wanqing couldn't help but wanted to ask about Nanny Wang who was locked up, but after thinking about it, she still didn't say anything. Even if Nanny Wang knew the secret, she probably wouldn't tell it. She's been locked up for so many years , but found nothing, perhaps, Wang Momo may not know.

After Master Hou left, Wanqing was still a little numb, still thinking about that piece of jade, suddenly she felt very bored, what was she thinking about?That person doesn't want her anymore. He used to search for secrets because of that piece of jade, because of the Gu poison in his body. The person I care about, the person I want to protect, is so cold-hearted, and now I don't know how many days I can stay in this mansion, so what are you doing with such broken hearts?It's better to return the broken jade to him, so as to save people from staring at him.
