Aristocratic Concubine

Chapter 344 Poison Killing (1)
When the old lady was helped up, her breathing was very short, she couldn't even catch her breath, and she passed out before she even reached the bed.

The next day, news spread from the old matriarch's house that the old matriarch had fallen ill the night before yesterday, and no one talked about Shangguan Yeli carrying the corpse of his servant into the Shoushou hall at night. Yesterday's turmoil didn't happen, and after the old lady woke up, she only said that she had caught a cold and fell ill.

Shangguan Yeli used a very simple, rude, but effective method to temporarily frighten the old matriarch, and let Hou Ye see the true face of the old matriarch, and no matter how strong the old matriarch is, he dare not simultaneously Against sons and grandchildren.After all, she is her own flesh and blood. She has already lost the respect of Shangguan Yeli and Lord Hou, and hurt the relationship between grandparents and mother and son. Using etiquette and family law to punish Shangguan Yeli will only make Lord Hou treat her even more. Chilling, moreover, she didn't dare to publicize this matter, if she really had to dig deeper, many unscrupulous things she had done would be exposed, and her position in the mansion would be even more precarious.

But no one said this on the surface, and of course some people knew about it in private. After Ning Hua found out, he changed from his previous aloofness and aloofness, and became uncharacteristically attentive and filial to the old matriarch. Tea and water are delivered, and the service is thoughtful and considerate, which fully displays the image of a filial daughter-in-law.

Wanqing didn't say a word in the old lady's room that night. Shangguan Yeli didn't salute the old lady, and neither did she. Since entering the room, she just watched coldly.

The next day, she went to visit the old matriarch with the third young mistress, and she was still respectful and polite to the old matriarch on the surface, and she didn't tell others about it.

Shangguan Zimo often ran outside these two days, but he didn't make a fuss about Shangguan Yeliye breaking into the old lady's house. Instead, he was very quiet, pretending not to know about it.

Wanqing is going to take Mother Fang, Zhui'er, Douya'er, and Jinju Maidong to northern Xinjiang this time, but she didn't take the two people sent by the old lady, because Bicao is already healthy, so it's not easy to travel long distances , but put her in the Hou's mansion, and I don't feel at ease. I am a decent young mistress and get tripped up by others from time to time. Bi Cao is my confidant girl, and I am not here. Why don't you swallow her alive?

Although Bicao and Ping'an were married, they slept in separate rooms. The status of husband and wife was only for outsiders to see. The people in front of Wanqing knew in their hearts that Ping'an was unhappy, and Bicao's thoughts were not there. Ping An's body is just to give the child a decent background. Although this background is not very good, it is better than being scolded as a bastard without a father after being born.

Therefore, Wanqing was not at ease when entrusting Bicao to Pingan. It would take a year and a half for her to leave, and when she came back, Bicao would have given birth. She was only 15 years old, and giving birth at this age was extremely risky. Wanqing was really afraid... she would never see Bicao again after she came back.

When she was feeling sad, Ping An came, and Wanqing let him in in surprise: "Why didn't you go to run errands for Grandpa today?"

The expedition is approaching, and Shangguan Yeli is also very busy. Although the food and grass have been allocated long ago, the procedures are very complicated if they really need to collect it and pack it into the car. Ping An is also very busy recently. Qing also rarely saw him.

"The servant was anxious, and came to ask the young mistress for help." Ping An called Wan Qing, with a look of worry on his brows.

Wanqing thought to herself, maybe it was because of Bicao, and marrying Bicao safely was just to obey Shangguan Yeli's order, and being kind to Bicao was just to give face to this young lady.

"You are the one who is in front of my grandfather. If you have anything to do, you can just say it." Wanqing said to Ping An with a smile.

"I beg young mistress to persuade Bi Cao, I really can't persuade you, she insists on going to the north with you, young mistress, it's a long day, and she's too heavy, she can't bear the upheaval." Ping An was distressed. said.

Wanqing was surprised when she heard that, Bicao has been very quiet these few days, she didn't mention to herself that she wants to go north together?
"I'm also worried about this matter. If she hadn't become pregnant, I would definitely take her there, but if I stay in the mansion, I'm afraid... I won't take care of her, you know, Bicao's My natal family didn't come with me, once I left, almost all the people brought by the Gu family followed me..." Wanqing also said in a difficult way.

"The servant stayed here to take care of her. The servant has thought a lot these two days. The servant is not the only person in front of the master. Ping Ningping and the two are very smart. The master can rely on them as well. The servant is the son of the family. There is a servant here. , I can always stand in the way of her." Ping An looked at Wan Qing eagerly and said.

Wanqing was shocked to hear that this time Shangguan Yeli was going to be the governor of an important town. A long-term servant like Ping An joined the army with his master, and he also joined the army. It is very easy for him to join the army. Ping An has also practiced martial arts for several years. If he can make meritorious service this time, he will be freed from slavery. If he is quick, he can become a low-ranking official. People say that the prime minister is a seventh-rank official. That's what they mean. Ping'an is only seventeen or eighteen years old. He is just young and successful in his career. He is willing to give up such a bright future for Bicao?
"But Ping An, you're at a disadvantage." Wanqing reminded, she didn't want Ping An to blame Bi Cao for this future.

"Young mistress, this slave has been carefully thought out. Since she married her, this slave will take on this responsibility. The child in her womb... I will call my slave a father in the future. I don't want to make myself regret it. I beg my young mistress to help me." " Ping An said to Wan Qing seriously.

Wanqing looked at the young and handsome young man in front of her, with a pair of bright black eyes that were clear and firm. If Ping An liked Bicao, then Wanqing felt that this sacrifice was worth it. However, for so long, she always felt that Ping An was right for her. Bi Cao just respects her, and there is no love between men and women, especially after learning that Bi Cao is pregnant with another man's child...

"It's safe, you'd better follow Master to the north, I will find a way to settle Bicao properly." Wanqing hesitated for a while, but said with determination.
