Chapter 369 Why does it have to be a chapter name?
[Suddenly I discovered that there is another alliance leader. I will add another chapter as I gather my strength in the past few days. 】
But she said that Aunt Zhao chased her all the way to Daoxiang Village and caught up with Li Wan who ordered people to put the long sword and bow in a high cabinet. She used this as an excuse to complain to Tanchun. It was not until Suyun went out to pour tea that she took the time.
Express your intention.
She said she wanted to show her intention, but she didn't dare to speak directly. She just went deeper than the previous insinuation.
But this was enough to arouse Li Wan's vigilance.
Li Wan had only been perfunctory with her before, but now if he didn't stop it in time, he would not be able to pretend to be unaware, so he immediately straightened his face and scolded: "What do you mean, aunt? I don't know.
I only respect you a little for the sake of the third girl. Who would have thought that you would say such unreasonable things! Do you think that we orphans and widowed mothers are easy to bully? If that is the case, I would like to go in front of the master and his wife.
The theory is the theory!”
Seeing Li Wan's sudden change of expression, Aunt Zhao secretly scolded her for being prudish and had to apologize repeatedly.
Li Wan was in power and showed no mercy to others. He directly ordered Su Yun to see off the guests without getting up.
Although Aunt Zhao is not as good as before, she is only half a master in terms of status. Li Wan respects her on the surface, and she is an elder. Now that she has turned against her, she doesn't even have room to resist, so she is
Suyun gave the gift with a cold face.
Standing outside the gate of Daoxiang Village, Aunt Zhao was muttering and cursing when she suddenly saw another familiar figure walking out of the gate.
"Third girl?"
Aunt Zhao couldn't help but said in shock: "Why are you here too?"
"I came here with this aunt."
As Jia Tanchun spoke, he gave his mother a look that refused to refuse, and then walked to a quiet place by himself.
Aunt Zhao hesitated for a moment and then hurriedly followed.
After confirming that no one was around, Tanchun immediately sneered with a straight face: "My aunt has done a great job, but it's a pity that she doesn't even know that there are ears through the window!"
Although she chased Aunt Zhao back and forth, there were maids guarding the corridors of the main hall, so as to avoid disturbing others and not being able to push them away. Therefore, there were whispers through the window that she was just blackmailing Aunt Zhao.
And because Aunt Zhao saw that she came from Daoxiang Village, she didn't think much about believing it. In addition, she was angry at Li Wan's attitude of refusing to admit it, so she simply took her daughter and told her what she saw and heard that night in Liaoting Huaxu.
..
When Tanchun heard that Jiao Shun had married a loose woman to keep his mother company, he immediately remembered what happened at his uncle's house. He gritted his silver teeth and almost broke the palm of his hand, trying not to get jealous.
Aunt Zhao started to make a fuss.
Later, when I heard that Aunt Zhao had followed the lead and suspected Li Wan, Tanchun couldn't help being surprised again.
She refused to believe it at first. After all, this widowed sister-in-law had always lived in seclusion and kept away from foreign affairs, focusing only on cultivating Langeer. How could she be related to a villain like Jiao Shun?
But then I thought again, since Li Wan entered the Grand View Garden, he has indeed liberated his nature. In the past, he and Yingchun were two trees, but now he is much more lively and lively.
If it is because there is less restraint in the garden, Mrs. Wang has also moved in. She is living under the eyes of her mother-in-law. How can it be different from the outside?
Or maybe it really is...
She was dubious, but then she remembered her previous judgment, so she asked: "Could it be the servant girl guarding the garden? The evil thief can enter and leave the garden at will, so there must be someone here..."
"Are you going to excuse her now?"
When Aunt Zhao heard the word "internal response", she immediately pointed back at Daoxiang Village: "She is the one in charge of the garden. Who can be more convenient than her to be an internal response?"
"otherwise."
Jia Tanchun shook his head and said: "Although she is in charge of the garden, the woman who watches the night watch is the same as the inside and outside. Besides, the sister-in-law is a widow after all, so it will inevitably arouse people's suspicion if she always interferes with the access control."
The most important thing is that she has been secretly checking the door control these days and has never heard of any additional disputes between Li Wan and these women.
"this……"
Aunt Zhao had never thought about this part. She only thought that since Li Wan was the steward, she would be able to control her inside and out. However, she ignored that Li Wan, the steward, was very different from Wang Xifeng.
Not to mention that each courtyard has its own rules and regulations, so Li Wan cannot interfere in the private affairs of the sisters casually. Even the system of night guarding is designated by the palace, and Li Wan just listens to the instructions but not the announcements.
Now after listening to her daughter's analysis, Aunt Zhao felt that she seemed to have overlooked something, but she didn't want to show her timidity in front of her daughter, so she hurriedly cited another piece of evidence: "You said it was a maid who watched the door at night, that's even more wrong! I
Although I didn't see clearly what the woman's makeup was like at that time, the material, makeup, powder, and scent of the clothes were not something ordinary servants could use - that S Langjin was definitely not an inexperienced girl, who else could she be?
It can’t be that…”
As she said that, she raised her hand and pointed in the direction of the Qingtang thatched cottage.
Tanchun hurriedly pressed her hand down, but still shook his head and said: "There are some decent maids in this garden, and the things they use may not be worse than the masters. For example..."
She originally wanted to use Xiren as an example - because he was pampered by Jia Baoyu, Xiren's food and clothing expenses were probably better than hers as a young lady, and he had already experienced human affairs, which was completely in line with Aunt Zhao's expectations.
describe.
But when the words came to her lips, she felt that they were inappropriate, so she changed her words and asked, "When did you go to Liao Ting Huaxing that night? And when did you leave?"
"I went there just after Xu Zheng. As for leaving..."
As she spoke, Aunt Zhao suddenly came to her senses, put her hands on her hips and stared at her almond-shaped eyes, asking, "Okay, you damn girl, are you interrogating your mother again?!"
"If my aunt doesn't want to find out, then forget it!"
Tanchun's face darkened and he was ready to leave.
Aunt Zhao hurriedly stopped her and said frustratedly: "I'll go to your place when it's done. You can go to your place at any time!"
Tanchun secretly reviewed it in his mind, and finally lowered his tone and warned Aunt Zhao: "Mom, don't dare to be so rash in the future. Otherwise, if Mrs. Zhu accuses me of it, I'm afraid you won't get any good results."
eat!"
It was rare for her to call her mother recently. Aunt Zhao was secretly happy, but she didn't care that Tanchun's tone turned harsh in the second half of her sentence. Instead, she explained with a smile on her face: "Isn't this just for you and your brother? Then
If Wan is really a grandma, I will join forces with her to get rid of that naughty guy, then won’t it be just us who have the final say in this house?”
It suddenly dawned on Tanchun, and it was strange that she was determined to believe that the woman that night was Li Wan, but it turned out that she had such thoughts.
I have to say that I have underestimated this biological mother in the past, and my adventurous temperament may have been passed down from her.
Just as she was talking, she saw Caixia coming next to Mrs. Wang. Aunt Zhao wanted to go up and say hello, but was dragged back to Qiu Shuangzhai by Jia Tanchun, who continued to interrogate her.
Not to mention the mother and daughter.
But Caixia was ordered to invite Li Wan and Wang Xifeng to Qingtang thatched cottage this time to discuss Jia Baoyu's engagement.
Although both parties are close relatives, Aunt Xue has no intention of picking any trouble, but the engagement of the precious child of Rongguo Mansion is naturally not a small matter, and preparations must be made in advance.
Gu Xi
In addition, Mrs. Wang and Jia Zheng are now separated in two places, and Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian have to be entrusted with some matters. As for Li Wan, she is Jia Baoyu's sister-in-law after all. Although she is not told what she can do, it is not good.
Leave her alone and let Wang Xifeng, the cousin-in-law, shoulder the responsibility.
And at the same time that Caixia went to Daoxiang Village to spread the news, Wang Xifeng had just gotten up at home to change clothes and wash up.
She sat lazily and comfortably in front of the dressing table. While picking up the rouge paper, she couldn't help complaining to Ping'er: "It's already this hour, why didn't you tell me to wake up?"
Ping'er combed her hair and said with a smile: "It's rare for grandma to sleep soundly. Besides, she already got sick yesterday, so no one will say anything if she wakes up late."
"Hmph~"
Wang Xifeng snorted with rouge in her mouth, but did not refute Ping'er's remarks.
Because she always wanted to be strong and worked hard all day long, she was tossing and turning at night and couldn't concentrate. She often woke up from her dreams, so the quality of her sleep was naturally not much better.
Yesterday, all the bones in my body seemed to have been broken and softened by Jiao Shun. I was so sore and painful that I thought it must be more difficult to fall asleep. Unexpectedly, I fell asleep until dawn after touching the pillow. Not to mention that I woke up in the middle of the night.
Not even a dream.
Looking in the mirror now, the areas that used to be smeared with makeup and powder are now flushed and rosy, as if they were not nearly dehydrated yesterday, but were moisturized.
The word "moisturizing" comes to mind.
Wang Xifeng couldn't help but secretly spat again, and with a straight face asked Ping'er when she was going to ask for an 'explanation' for her.
Ping'er took a commonly used hairpin and compared it with her head. He found that it couldn't suppress Jin'er's spirit, so he changed it to a more gorgeous one, and carefully inserted it into her bun.
Said: "Grandma, why are you so anxious? He always has to go to the Yamen to be on duty. I'm going now. Can't I ask Aunt Wang to get some favors?"
After a pause, he added: "Besides, I have been visiting the house two days in a row. If someone sees me, I will inevitably think too much. In my opinion, it is better to be more cautious."
"Yo~"
Wang Xifeng turned around and gave Ping'er a sideways look, and said angrily: "Are you trying to steal everyone's experience?"
Ping'er smiled, but didn't say anything.
Wang Xifeng turned around angrily, feeling a little sore in her heart for no reason. She wanted to be the best in everything, and she was used to being the best in the world of men and women. Previously she only vented her grievances without thinking too much, but now she was beaten by Ping'er's words.
After being reminded, I remembered that I was inexplicably a head shorter than Ping'er.
Ping'er didn't say anything about the soup, but also ate more and took up more time. Now that he wants to ask for an 'explanation', he can only ask her to come forward and contact the dog slave...
Bah~
She spat out the image that suddenly popped up in her mind. All she could think about was how to outshine Ping'er in front of Jiao Shun. The previous annoyance of Jiao Shun was ruthless, and she was determined to just do it this time and never think about it next time.
By the way, he was thrown into Java.
But after thinking for a while, she couldn't figure out the reason.
After all, this is not an ordinary life at home. She can rely on her status as a eldest wife to suppress Ping'er.
In front of Jiao Shun, both the master and the servant were promiscuous women. Although he had the advantage in terms of status, Ping'er also had a love for him since childhood. They were evenly matched - even considering Ping'er.
If my son has to transfer ownership to the Jiao family in the future, he may be at a disadvantage.
Do you want to lower your stature to compete for Ping'er's favor?
Wang Xifeng frowned. Although she had lost her virginity to Jiao Shun, she still felt like her master and grandma in her heart, and instinctively rejected such an approach.
But if this were not the case, how could he be superior to Ping'er, or even to the extent of Sister-in-law Zhen from Dongfu?
Thinking of Youshi, Wang Xifeng's attention immediately shifted. She thought that this woman's recent success was all because of the adulterer. Do you want it? Can you get some benefits from it?
"wrong!"
She suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said to Ping'er: "You should go there tonight, for no other reason than to tell the dog... Bah! Tell Jiao Shun not to tell Sister-in-law Zhen what happened yesterday, otherwise I will
I can’t spare him!”
Although she was thinking about taking advantage of Youshi, she never wanted Youshi to take advantage of her.
Ping'er saw how eager she was to speak, so he didn't refuse any more.
Seeing that the clothes were neatly dressed, the master and the servant were about to sit down to report to the summer and take care of the housework. Suddenly Caiyun came looking for them in a hurry, saying that Mrs. Wang invited the second grandma to talk in the garden.
When Wang Xifeng asked what was going on, Caiyun explained with a smile: "Yesterday, the old lady took the initiative to mention Master Bao's marriage, and she also felt that it was almost time to make preparations - such a good thing naturally cannot be avoided by grandma.
.”
"What a good thing, you just let me run errands to help you."
Wang Xifeng smiled and joked, and then asked: "Did your sister-in-law tell you? Do you know what happened yesterday?"
"Grandma has sent Caixia there."
Caiyun hesitated and said: "As for the master...what exactly are the regulations? Second Mistress should wait until she meets my wife before asking."
Wang Xifeng knew that this matter probably had not been approved by Jia Zheng, but with the old lady making the decision, the filial son would probably not have any objections, but he would have to pass the news on both sides.
She secretly complained in her heart about what the old couple was doing, but she said, "Miss Lao, please go back and report first. Just tell me a few words about Lin Zhixiao's family, and then go over and listen to my wife's instructions."
After Caiyun got the accurate information, he took care of himself and left.
Wang Xifeng ordered people to invite Lin Zhixiao's family to come over, and at the same time took Ping'er and whispered: "You are going in the evening, you might as well try to find out what the regulations are in Dongfu first."
How could Ping'er not know what her intentions were?
I have really been used to being competitive all my life, even if I steal from a man to get a favor, I have to overpower others before I am willing to do it!
"this……"
Ping'er reminded with some embarrassment: "After all, Grandma Zhen gave birth to a son for him. Does Grandma also want to..."
Although there is no such thing as a judgment on who is superior and who is inferior, the treatment for those who give birth to bastards is naturally higher than those who are just having fun.
"Who wants to give it to him... Bah!"
Wang Xifeng spat hard again. Ever since she was bitten by that dog slave yesterday...she always felt like she had a bad taste in her mouth. She really had no strength at that time. Otherwise, she would not have been so humiliated by that dog slave!
She had never paid so much for Jia Lian, so how could she be willing to spare Jiao Shun so easily?
