Chapter 328: Catch the traitor
Spring in Beijing Chapter 328: Catching the Rape
Mrs. Jiang smiled and said, "My mother-in-law is such a smart person, but she still hasn't figured out the mystery? The second aunt and grandma treat us as their own people and speak and act casually. The mother and daughter are outsiders, so naturally they have to be polite. The uncle transferred me last month
Going to a well-oiled yamen and being promoted to a higher official level is not something Mr. Meng Er can help with. This is real... We don’t want those imaginary things."
The men are promising and the girls marry into good families. This is indeed what the Jiang family needs most at the moment.
The old lady curled her lips and said, "That Mrs. Liu is so vulgar, she speaks loudly, she doesn't know what to say, and she is ugly. The Meng family even let her come out and embarrass herself. Oh, our Jiang family is still good at training girls. Take a look at Xi Yatou.
She is the wise and capable mistress of the house."
Mrs. Jiang praised her, "It's a pity that this girl has not had a mother since she was a child. She was taught well by her mother-in-law."
Old Mrs. Jiang became happy again.
Old Mrs. Meng was tired, so she asked someone to send a message, and everyone had their own dinner.
In the side room of the upper room of the main courtyard, Mrs. Liu and Niu Xiu were sitting on the kang, talking quietly.
The setting sun dyed the window screen red, and the halo filtered in, giving Niu Xiu's little face a rouge color, making the little girl look even more handsome and charming.
Looking at her beloved daughter, Mrs. Liu's smile grew even stronger.
Niu Xiu smiled brightly, holding a bunch of fragrant beads wrapped with gold thread in her hand, and told the story about how she and Huang Xin were called to kowtow to the eldest princess of Yichang in Fu'an Hall.
"Sister Jingjing accompanied us. The eldest princess likes me very much. She held my hand and praised me for my calm behavior..."
The eldest princess of Yichang praised her daughter for her "calm demeanor", which made Ms. Liu extremely happy.
Today was the first time that she entertained guests as the mistress of the Chengguo Palace. The old lady asked Mistress Meng to follow her and remind her of anything. Although there was surprise and curiosity in the eyes of those people, they were also filled with curiosity in their hearts.
He was laughing at her, but on the surface he was respectful.
They show respect on the surface, they also care about face, but they don't care about each other, that's enough.
The biggest gain today is that my daughter's performance has been unanimously praised. Almost all the ladies and grandmothers said that she is dignified, steady, delicate and handsome, and she has become a handkerchief with Zheng Jingjing, the third girl of the Zheng family.
There were not many guests here today, except for the Jiang family, which is a royal family with status, and my daughter's good reputation has spread among the powerful circles.
Mrs. Liu knew that Mrs. Jiang had asked Zheng Tingting to speak kindly to the eldest princess, and she accepted the favor. Huang Xin, too, would hold her daughter's hand and play with the little girls at any time.
After the meal, Mrs. Liu found a pink soft tobacco suitable for a little girl to make clothes and a pair of south pearl earrings from her dowry, and asked people to give them to Huang Xin and Mr. Jiang respectively.
The night was dark, with half a bright moon hanging high in the sky.
Meng Mansion was extremely quiet.
There is a small forest not far from the second gate. There are two side rooms in it, where three women who watch the night and a woman who guards the second gate live.
There are regulations in the government that lock the second door at the end of Xu Shi. As long as the second door is locked, only the old prince and the old lady have the authority to have the lock opened, and if something big happens.
When we arrived at the second gate, the gatekeeper didn't dare to come out.
Ms. Liu handed the key to the woman named Qiaomei. The woman opened the door and several people walked out.
The person was let go, and the night watchwoman didn't dare to pretend to be stupid anymore, and ran towards Fushengju with a puff of smoke. The old lady was old and in poor health. The old man and the Duke of Guo both lived in the front yard, so she had to go with the prince and the second son.
Madam reports.
Liu and others quickly came to Cheng Guogong's outer study. She had never been there before, but she had heard about the general location and architectural features.
Several people stood at the door, and one person climbed up the wall with a ladder. After she climbed over, she opened the door again.
The Liu family walked into the courtyard with gentle steps.
This is a three-heyuan courtyard. There is a towering tree planted in the yard, and its leaves are blown down by the autumn wind from time to time.
Ms. Liu stood down and looked around the small courtyard, and saw a faint light coming from the small window in the west room of the upper room. Listening carefully, there were men's voices and occasionally women's voices coming from inside.
Mrs. Liu seems to have gone back a few years ago. Every few days she would go out to "catch an adulterer", sometimes at home, sometimes outside. After catching her, she would beat her...
She thought those days were gone forever, but she didn't expect that they would start again today.
