Chapter 125 Current Affairs
Pei Xiner's idea coincided with his, and when she heard that he was willing to mobilize some of his cronies to encourage her, she was suddenly surprised and happy. Fortunately, with these carefully trained people, she could do what she wanted to do
Things will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. What's surprising is that he is willing to make such a big concession. Doesn't it mean that the emperor's plan is urgent? Then this matter is really a failure or failure. Once it fails, the consequences are not something she can afford.
of.
However, if she could not successfully capture the Feng family despite all the support, it would be natural for her to be dealt with by the emperor, and she could not blame others.
She cheered up, looked at Zhao Yuchang, smiled and said: "I understand, don't worry, I will definitely succeed this time!"
For Sister Ling and Brother Chun, she cannot lose!
Zhao Yutang was a little worried. He frowned at her and said, "Just do your best in everything and don't take it too seriously. Your Majesty has the Emperor's persistence, but many things don't have to go all the way to the end. You
Don’t put too much pressure on yourself.”
Pei Xiner glanced at him gratefully, then thought about something, and immediately thought of something: "Master, it sounds like I really need your help with something."
"You said." Zhao Yutsang didn't take it seriously.
Pei Xiner said: "You know, before Juan'er's accident today, she collided with a little maid on the road, and then something was found in her sleeve, so the little maid is quite suspicious. I have never seen her before.
That maid cannot be found, but if we can find her, it will definitely be very useful in clearing Juan'er's grievances."
Zhao Yuchang's expression became solemn. He sat up straight and said, "Is there such a thing? Please tell me everything about today's events, bit by bit."
Infected by this, Pei Xiner stood up from his lap, sat on a chair nearby, and recounted today's events in detail.
After Zhao Yuchao listened, he was silent for a long time. He couldn't blame Pei Xiner for not recognizing the maid. There were really too many servants in the General's Mansion. Although Pei Xiner was the person in charge, she couldn't keep everyone in mind. There were so many people.
One or two servants whom she didn't know were really nothing to fuss over.
He thought for a long time, nodded and said: "You make sense. If the handkerchief was really replaced, I'm afraid it will never be found again, and the maid must have been disposed of by Feng."
That's right, you are still a step too late after all... But no matter what, this is always a way, and it is still worth trying. I will leave this matter to others, you don't have to worry, as long as there is such a person, there will always be
There will be some clues, if you look carefully you should be able to find it."
Pei Xiner smiled gratefully and said, "Thank you very much."
Zhao Yutsao shook his head and said: "After so many years, you still haven't gotten used to it. You and I have been husband and wife for many years, and now we work together together, so there is no need to be so polite."
Pei Xiner smiled and said nothing. There were some things that he could not care about, but she had to pay attention to. How many years had they been married? It was true that he was her husband, but she was just his concubine. She kept this matter in mind.
Not a moment is forgotten.
At this time, there suddenly started to be noisy outside. Ruiniang, who was guarding the door, knocked lightly on the door frame and said hurriedly: "Auntie, there is someone in the old lady's courtyard."
Pei Xiner's heart trembled, she didn't expect to alarm the old lady so quickly. Juan'er's incident spread throughout the entire backyard of the General's Mansion. It was impossible to hide it from the old lady, but Pei Xiner felt that it was already too late now.
It was not good to disturb the old lady's rest anymore, so I thought about going to explain it to the old lady in person early tomorrow morning, but I didn't expect that Feng would not even let go of such a small amount of time, without caring about the old lady's body, and forcibly took her.
Wake up, if someone finds out about such behavior, Feng's spine will be stabbed to pieces.
The person who came was Nanny Chen in front of the old lady. She was originally the second most popular person in the old lady’s courtyard, second only to Nanny Zhang. After Nanny Zhang was driven away, she stepped up and became the old lady.
She was always waiting by her side. But after all, the old lady was old, and she was used to Aunt Zhang. She was really not used to the sudden change of person. But after all, this kind of thing is human nature, and she always gets used to it.
It was cultivated slowly. After they got along for a long time, with their personalities and tempers, it would not be easy for them to have a quarrel.
Aunt Chen climbed up from below to replace Aunt Zhang, so she is very smooth in dealing with people. Moreover, she is not very popular with the old lady yet. The master and servant are still getting along, so naturally they can't stand up.
Yi commanded.
When she met Pei Xin'er and saw Zhao Yutsang sitting aside, she couldn't help but be stunned, and then she hurriedly saluted and said, "I have met the general, Aunt Pei."
Zhao Yutong said "hmm" and asked: "What did grandma ask you to do? She is so late and still hasn't rested?"
The only thing I didn't say directly was that it was late. The old lady had a rest and we would talk about it tomorrow if there was anything else.
Grandma Chen thought for a moment. The verbal orders she received from the old lady were no longer useful in front of Zhao Yutang, and because of Zhao Yutsang's appearance, she had to re-examine this man.
Aunt Pei's status in the eyes of the general, if she can get a word of praise from Zhao Yutang, she will truly feel proud in the house from now on. So now, how to answer this sentence requires a lot of thought.
of.
However, she didn't have much time to think about it. After a few breaths, she smiled and without looking up at Zhao Yutang, she lowered her head and said respectfully: "If you want to return to the emperor, I will do it for you."
According to the old lady's order, I came to invite Aunt Pei to come over." She paused, gritted her teeth, and took the initiative to speak out the questions she might be asked, and said, "The old lady heard about the maid next to Aunt Pei.
I was very worried about the incident, so I ordered my son to come over and invite Aunt Pei to come over so that I could understand the latest situation of the matter."
Zhao Yutong glanced at her, unknowingly revealing a bit of his dignity, so even though it was just a cold glance, it was enough to scare Grandma Chen into becoming more respectful.
It was at this time that she finally made up her mind about what kind of attitude she should have towards Pei Xin'er. She knew very clearly that the General's Mansion was Zhao Yutong's General's Mansion, and no matter how authoritative the old lady was, she could not defeat him.
Zhao Yuchao has absolute dominance over this family. And whoever the general values is, this person is worthy of her efforts to make friends. For example, this Aunt Pei, although she is just an aunt, is really loved by her.
The person he dotes on is enough to support her to please this aunt as much as possible.
The biggest difference between her and Aunt Zhang is that she is able to see the situation clearly and understand the current affairs, and will not be arrogant because of the honor bestowed by her master. She knows very well who can be fawned over and who does not need to be treated at all.
care.
Pei Xiner stood up, bowed to Zhao Yutsao, and said, "Sir, since the old lady has summoned me, I will go over first."
Zhao Yutong nodded and said, "I'll rest now. You can come back after you see your grandmother."
Grandma Chen's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately understood what she should say in front of the old lady.
Pei Xiner also had a surprised look on her face. She looked into Zhao Yutsang's dark eyes. After a while, she smiled sweetly and said softly: "Yes, I understand."
She turned around, and Aunt Chen looked at her with a smile on her face, and said respectfully: "Auntie, let's leave quickly, go early and come back early!"
Pei Xiner couldn't help but was stunned again. She didn't think it was as simple as the old lady calling her over just to ask a few words. As the person who replaced Nanny Zhang in front of the old lady, Nanny Chen should still have this bit of foresight.
Yes, why would you say such a thing?
She suppressed her doubts in her heart and didn't ask any more questions. She walked out with a smile, ordered Lian'er to follow her, and then followed Nanny Chen towards the old lady's yard.
The road was dark, with only a lantern lit by a little maid brought by Nanny Chen emitting a faint light in front. Pei Xiner frowned, motioned Lian'er to step forward, and lit another lantern.
It was a little brighter, and she and Grandma Chen walked behind, unhurried and unhurried, not at all nervous or anxious about being summoned by the old lady.
Grandma Chen looked at her and secretly admired her. Even if she didn't look at Zhao Yuchang's love for her, this calmness alone was beyond the reach of ordinary people. For this, she seemed to be willing to take a gamble.
necessary.
She then looked at Pei Xiner, deliberately walked closer to her, and said softly: "Aunt Pei, don't worry, the old lady only knows the general outline of the matter, not the actual situation. After a while, my aunt explained the situation to her in detail, and she became clearer.
The better, if the old lady understands it, she will not let the general wait there in vain."
If Pei Xin'er was still a little skeptical just now, after hearing these words, she can be absolutely sure that the newly promoted old lady's housekeeper in the yard really wants to be on good terms with her.
Yes! This made her feel extremely confused. Could it be that she had been kind to Aunt Chen? How could she surrender so quickly? She had already come close to her before she said anything. Is it a true alliance or a false deception?
While she was thinking about it, she responded without any hesitation: "Thank you, Grandma Chen, for your advice. With that said, I can rest assured! As you know, there are a lot of doubts about Juan'er, and I'm not here for a while."
I didn’t have a clue. If the old lady asked me any questions, I would be in trouble if I couldn’t answer them!"
Mother Chen naturally knew the implications of her words. After hearing these words, she did not feel any slightness, but instead felt a surge of joy. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it.
