After walking a long distance, Jiao Shun slowed down.

Looking back at the direction of the pavilion, I could still see Xue Baochai standing on the shore, perhaps still worried about tomorrow's agreement.

In fact, according to Jiao Shun's original idea, he was going to strike while the iron was hot and lead Xue Baochai to a secluded place to make a few words.

But when she saw Baochai, she found that her indifference was actually a bit resentful and sour, so she changed her mind temporarily and asked her to see her tomorrow.

The purpose of doing this is mainly to test Baochai's intentions.

If Baochai really went to the appointment, it would prove that King Xiang was interested, and the goddess might not be unintentional.

Even if you refuse to make an appointment, you can use this matter as an introduction in the future and lay the groundwork for the next attack.

"Mr. Jiao?"

Just as I was thinking, I suddenly heard someone yelling in front of me, and then I realized that I had arrived in front of the door of the Qingtang hut.

He smiled at the servant who was guarding the gate, lifted up his clothes and walked into the yard.

The house obviously had heard the call from the servant, and Caixia came out of the room and said curiously: "Why did the uncle come back so soon? Didn't it mean that something was left at Rongxi Hall?"

"I found it halfway."

Jiao Shun said, and went straight to the door.

Caixia hurriedly raised the door curtain high, and the heat wave mixed with the aroma of powder suddenly came.

Jiao Shun untied his cloak while walking in, threw the colorful clouds casually, and bowed to Mrs. Wang and said, "I'm rude just now, please forgive me."

"What are the two words of the family?"

Mrs. Wang hurriedly stood up and said, "Sit down and roast the fire-Caiyun, don't you change the tea for new ones."

After a busy work, Jiao Shun just pretended to make a few polite words and then sat down.

In order to miss Baochai just now, he actually hurriedly left after sitting down for a while, so he had not had time to get to the point.

Now that the matter has been settled, I saw Mrs. Wang shut up again, Jiao Shun said: "There are rumors about the Empress and Baoyu, and I have also heard of them--in fact, I have seen the Empress in the palace in the afternoon, and the Empress is also the Empress.

I am worried about this and hope to deal with King Zhongshun with me."

"King Zhongshun?"

Mrs. Wang was a little puzzled after hearing this: "What does this matter have to do with King Zhongshun?"

"It's a big deal. The one who secretly creates momentum to kill the Empress is King Zhongshun!" Jiao Shun put down the tea bowl in his hand and sneered: "The Supreme Emperor suddenly died, and the only elder in the royal family was King Zhongshun. He secretly arises from this.

Ambition, wanting to be the Regent - winning people's hearts during the previous mourning treatment was for this purpose!"

"But he did too explicitly at that time, but the empress saw that it was inappropriate, so he made a suggestion to replace him. King Zhongshun hated him for this, so he secretly created momentum in hopes of getting rid of the empress."

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang was frightened. It was already dangerous to be brought up old accounts. Who would have thought that there was a King Zhongshun hidden behind this!

She couldn't help but get up and walked back and forth a few steps: "King Zhongshun wants to be the regent, but what does it have to do with the eldest sister? Why did the eldest sister provoke him for no reason?!"

"Woman's opinion!"

Jiao Shun's face turned aside, and he lowered the teacup and said, "The Empress is a think tank in the palace. If she doesn't point out such a simple problem, wouldn't it be more passive if someone points it out later? It is troublesome to offend King Zhongshun, but if Concubine Wu is asked to do so.

If you think about it, do you think it’s a good thing?”

Seeing him angry, Mrs. Wang suddenly became soft and hurriedly stepped forward to hold the teacup and whispered: "Master, please calm down. Don't I understand the trick? I will understand after you say it."

"You understand what a fuck."

Jiao Shun took the tea cup and took a sip, slapped the envelope on the table, and sneered: "Let's see what this is!"

The more he was, the softer Mrs. Wang's figure became. She carefully picked up the envelope and took out a photo to look at it. She wanted to scream in surprise and scream at just one glance.

Jiao Shunshou quickly covered her mouth with his eyes. When she saw her horror slightly fade, she slowly let go.

"This, is this?"

While shocked, Mrs. Wang was still unable to react to the purpose of Jiao Shun showing him such obscene objects.

"You should have seen this person in the photo."

After Jiao Shun finished speaking, he saw that Mrs. Wang was still confused and added: "I have seen it in the palace."

"In the palace?"

Mrs. Wang looked at the photo carefully, especially the most eye-catching object on it. Her face gradually changed from confusion to shock. Finally, she cried in a low voice: "Is this yes, yes..."

"It's Concubine Rong, the Concubine Rong from the Zhou family."

Seeing that Mrs. Wang was trembling for a long time and couldn't explain clearly, Jiao Shun decisively announced the answer.

"It's really her?"

Although Concubine Rong had already recognized through her physical characteristics, after confirming that she was Concubine Rong, Mrs. Wang was still shocked.

You should know that before the emperor was seriously ill, Concubine Rong was the top decent person in the palace. Who would have thought that she would be tied up like this to take photos as a souvenir?!

After a while, she suddenly said in surprise: "This, this is you, you..."

"What are you, me, mine!"

Jiao Shun was angry and slapped her back: "The person who took the photo, Concubine Wu, I took these photos from her when I entered the palace in the afternoon."

As he said that, after summoning Concubine Wu to him, he said how he could not speak out about how he could alienate himself from Rongguo Mansion and Virtuous Concubine.

Finally, he pointed to the letter and said, "The reason why Concubine Wu gave this thing is mostly to show me that in her eyes, other concubines are just toys that can be bullied at will."

When Mrs. Wang heard this, her face was already as beautiful as the earth.

She originally thought that her daughter was a virtuous concubine and helped the emperor with government affairs. Even though her status was not as good as that of the queen and Wu Concubine, she should have a place in the palace. Who would have thought that in the eyes of Wu Concubine, it was actually

It's like a toy that can be easily polished!

What made her even more panicked was that Concubine Wu asked Jiao Shun to alienate her family. The situation was already in danger. If Jiao Shun let go again, he would not care...

"What are you panic?"

Jiao Shun pulled out the photos and envelopes from her hand and collected them properly, and then said, "If I really want to alienate you, how could I come here overnight? But I can't come out openly anymore, so I can only try to divert the focus of public opinion in secret.

, try to calm this matter before His Majesty’s grand ceremony.”

After a pause, he comforted him, "Fortunately, although Concubine Wu is mean, the queen is tolerant and generous. Even if she can't do anything, she shouldn't let the empress bury the imperial tomb with her - on the contrary, Baoyu has some trouble, I listen

It is said that someone is going to impeach him for the position of a simple meal."

After hearing Jiao Shun's relief, Mrs. Wang was a little relieved. When she heard that someone was going to impeach Baoyu, she couldn't help but sigh: "This evil is really not worry-free. If he was willing to go back to work as a worker in engineering before the new year, how could he...

…Oh, it’s really a demon star in human destiny!”

"Who said no?"

Jiao Shun also sighed: "I try to make the best of my ability, but he may not be able to save his official position, and may not be expected to be in the future - I heard that you have been much closer to Lan Ge'er recently?"

"A few years ago, because of Zhu'er's death, I owed that child a lot..."

"You can turn this corner!"

Jiao Shundao: "If you really can't do, you will lie dormant for a few years. When Brother Lan grows older, I will find a good future for him. I dare not say that I will support the family business of this Duke's Mansion again, and at least I will not be completely defeated."

Seeing that Mrs. Wang nodded silently, as if she had really given up on Baoyu, Jiao Shun's heart moved and suddenly said, "There is something, I have to communicate with you first--I accidentally left this thing on the road.

Who can pick it up?"

"Who is it?"

"It's Baochai."

Jiao Shun sighed and said in a distressed manner: "When I looked for it, she had probably seen the photos inside and looked coldly at me. I was afraid that she would misunderstand it, so I would spread the matter out and want to explain it,

There was a maid following her around, so she quietly asked her to meet her again in the garden tomorrow."

Mrs. Wang was startled and thought to herself why things were so coincidental.

But then I thought about it and Baochai said that Jiao Shun had just left. It was not surprising that Baochai would pick up that thing with all her skills.

Let's make an appointment to meet again in the garden...

Mrs. Wang carefully observed Jiao Shun's expression, and then suggested: "Why should I go and explain it clearly to her?"

"how?"

Jiao Shun glared: "Are you still afraid that I will give her?"

"How could it be!"

Mrs. Wang hurriedly said, "Bao girl has always been cautious. I am afraid that she may not be willing to go to the appointment."

If you say that, in fact, you can't trust the two of them in your heart.

After all, Baochai is now stranger to Baoyu, and she will probably have resentment when she changes herself. She once talked about marriage with Jiao Shun. If she had too much contact, she would be talking about such a lump of things...

Mrs. Wang was filled with fifteen buckets of water. She wanted to stop this private meeting, but she was afraid that Jiao Shun would not be happy. Nowadays, the matter between Yuanchun and Baoyu is all directed at him!

Especially in the palace, once you really need to study it in depth, you may have to involve your family again...

Jiao Shun was enjoying the tea leisurely while looking at Mrs. Wang's changing face, and a hint of joyful curved corners of her mouth.

I dare not stop it today, but I may have to help cover it up tomorrow, and it is difficult for me to stop it in the future...

…………

at the same time.

When Xue Baochai returned home, she frowned and pondered.

If Jiao Shun said it is true, then this photo is evidence that Concubine Wu humiliated Concubine Rong. Although she did not look at the constraints on Concubine Rong, she knew that it was impossible to be voluntary when she looked at Concubine Rong's expression.

The question is, why did Concubine Wu hand over these photos to Jiao Shun?

Could it be that he was assigned some errands and needed these photos?

But what is necessary to use this kind of thing?

You should know that once it is revealed, even if Concubine Wu is the prince's biological mother, she will inevitably be held accountable.

Generally speaking, even if she takes a photo, she should be secretly informed. If there is no necessary reason, how could she take the initiative to hand over her handle to a foreign minister?

After thinking about it, Baochai couldn't figure it out.

It's no wonder that how could she have thought of others by her own judgment? Concubine Wu was really angry and gave the photo to Jiao Shun.

"girl."

At this time, Ying'er put a cup of tea on the dressing table, took the opportunity to look at the expression of her girl, and tentatively said: "Whether do I need to go with you tomorrow..."

"What's not going to be tomorrow!"

Baochai turned her face and scolded: "When did I promise him? If you dare to take your own initiative again, don't blame me for disregarding my love for many years!"

Although she was very curious, after many considerations, she still tended to stay out of the matter. After all, if such a thing is wrapped up, it would be a disaster for the family to be searched.

"I dare not!"

Ying'er quickly lowered her head to admit her mistake, but she was quite surprised. Is the girl's attitude trying to cover up, or is she having a quarrel with Mr. Jiao?

Or...

Her eyes rolled a few times, and she went to make the bed and fold the quilt.

After a while, he pretended to be careless and said: "By the way, girl, have you noticed that Brother Xiong from Dongfu doesn't look like Mr. Zhen at all? Just like Brother Rong..."

"What are you talking nonsense?!"

"I'm talking nonsense there, and I heard from someone in the East Mansion that Brother Xiong was born of Grandma Zhen's affair with someone."

"Dare you still talking nonsense!"

Baochai slapped the freshly picked Suchai on the table and said annoyedly: "Can you believe these gossips? Don't mention them again in the future, otherwise it will be passed to Sister Zhen's ears, and she will not peel you off!"

That's it, but when she thought about Xiong Ge'er's appearance, it was indeed very different from the father and son of the East Mansion.

"Miss, I'm just talking to you - in fact, which one of the big houses is not like this? If a man is not doing his job properly and does not know how to love..."

"shut up!"

Xue Baochai shouted sweetly, raised her hand and pointed at the outsider and said, "You go out for me, you won't have to serve you in front of you these days!"

Ying'er then stopped and left the bedroom obediently.

But her purpose has also been achieved.

She admired Baoyu at the beginning, but now she is so angry with Baoyu. The reason why she secretly matched Baochai and Jiao Shun was not only because she was worthless, but also because of her lack of value for Baochai, but also because she took the opportunity to vent her anger.

After driving Ying'er away, Baochai thought about what she said, and her mind suddenly appeared. When Aunt Xue walked out of the remote courtyard that night, she looked happy and satisfied.

With the character of my mother...

Is this kind of scattered matter really common in the big mansion?

Affected by this, Baochai's belief that he has always been as solid as a rock can't help but shaken.

It's night.

Mrs. Wang and Baochai tossed and turned all night and couldn't sleep, and they were also undecided and difficult to make decisions.

It was the next morning in a blink of an eye.

Baochai was confused by the lake and heard laughter coming from outside. She raised her head and looked at the wall clock, then called out, "Ying'er, Ying'er..."

"Grandma is awake."

It was not Ying'er who came in the door with a sound.

Baochai then remembered that she had just fallen Ying'er last night, so she sighed and sat up, asking casually: "Why is it so noisy outside?"

"It snowed in the second half of the night, and it has not stopped yet."

"It's snowing?"

Baochai thought, got up and walked quickly to the window, pushed the window out, and the world of snow falling outside was reflected in her eyes.

It was in the snow that day, but it snowed again today...
