Chapter Thirty-ninth: If you don’t love a concubine, you will leave
During the day, Zheng Qiyan would only have some free time in the morning to teach Kung Fu in the execution room. The rest of the time, he would follow Jintong step by step.
Ning Zi found an opening and went directly to Zheng Qiyan. Zheng Qiyan was now very wary of the young and beautiful maid who suddenly came closer. He kept a distance of three feet from Ning Zi and watched coldly to see if the other party was going to play any tricks. But don't
By getting close to him, you want to gain a position as aunt for yourself so that you can get rid of Gong Tianhai openly, right?
Ning Zi knelt on the ground: "My servant Ning Zi, I have a private matter that I would like to ask Master Qi for help."
"Please tell me and listen." Zheng Qiyan said lightly.
"Madam is pregnant now. I don't want Madam to have to worry about me, so I would like to ask Master Qi to help me and cancel my marriage." Ning Zi said calmly, if Jun Ruo doesn't like her, she will divorce her, and she wants her to take Gong Tianhai's place as soon as she gets married.
It is absolutely impossible to clean up the mess and raise the child for that actor.
"What are your plans after breaking off the engagement?"
"Seventh Master, at worst, this servant will be just like Sister Subai, serving the lady for the rest of her life."
Zheng Qiyan took in a breath as if he had a toothache and frowned: "It's bad enough to have a plain lady. In addition to you, two old aunts, one on the left and one on the right, will always be by my side in the future. How do you want others to treat your lady?"
, those who don’t know the actual situation would think that the lady is treating the servants harshly!”
Ning Zi was stunned for a moment, then she said confidently: "I believe that Madam can definitely help me find a husband. Madam finally got pregnant, but I refused the marriage and will serve Madam well with this baby. Others
It’s hard to say anything.”
"Just to help you cancel the engagement?"
"Yes! Gong Tianhai is the servant of Marquis Jingbei. It is quite arrogant for me to ask Master Qi to help me break off the engagement, but it is not appropriate for my wife to bother me. I feel sick when I think of Gong Tianhai, so I can't wait to ask Master Qi to help me."
To dissolve the engagement."
Zheng Qiyan also knew about Ning Zi. Two secret guards secretly monitored Yun Fei, the outer chamber, day and night, and discovered that Yun Fei was actually Hu Chao's spy in the Jingbei Hou Mansion. That Yun Fei was scheduled to take action in the Jingbei Hou Mansion.
All matters, big and small, were reported to Hu Chao. And Gong Tianhai, a pickpocket, under the temptation and persuasion of Yun Fei's warm and fragrant jade, shamelessly helped to find out the news about Pingning and Jian'an, and then reported it to Hu Chao through Yun Fei
Know.
Comparing the two mansions of Jian'an and Pingning, Jingbei Hou Jinzhu first came to Beijing to open his mansion not long ago, and he usually made a lot of friends. In addition, the Tang family was pregnant again and was mentally tired, so it was inevitable that the emperor would not be strict and the management would be lax.
Hu Chao confidently took up the role of Concubine Chen, and now she has become the money bag of Prince Rui and Prince Qing. After Hu Chao stole the brewing recipe from Jintong, he built the brewing workshop in Prince Rui's palace.
On the ground, with the help of the two princes, he sold the wine to the entire Dayi Dynasty, and even sold it to the Uighurs, Northern Liang, and Xixia countries at high prices, and the profits were astonishing.
The six princes of the Holy Lord all sent secret guards to collect information from all sources in the capital city, and secretly monitored the high-ranking ministers in the court to clarify their attitudes, either to please them or to take precautions.
The two brothers of King Rui and King Xian basically focused their attention on the Six Ministers and Zheng Qiyan.
"The otaku raised by Gong Tianhai is the man of Xiping Hou Hu Chao. Hu Chao has the support of the prince, and his ultimate goal is this prince." Zheng Qiyan said after considering it: "Ning Zi, you have to suffer for a while, don't let it go.
Gong Tianhai saw something unusual. My wife's delivery date is in August next year. I will ask the Marquis of Jingbei to come forward and postpone your wedding. My wife has already made plans for you. When the time comes, I will change your identity.
Mr. Gongsun recognizes you as his legitimate daughter, the legitimate daughter of Pingning Hou’s military advisor, and I don’t know how many people are vying to marry you.”
Ning Zi suppressed the joy in her heart and kowtowed a few times to Zheng Qiyan: "I would like to thank Master Qi and Madam."
Zheng Qiyan glanced at Ning Zi. This girl was calm. If an ordinary maid heard about such a good thing, she would have smashed her head immediately. This girl still remembered to serve Jin Tong, thinking that nothing could go wrong outside.
, to avoid Jintong’s suspicion, he seems to be a talent that can be developed.
Ning Zi knew what she knew and was confident. At the end of the year, every government was extremely busy. She quietly asked Qiao Lu to help make a few boxes of exquisite snacks. She also made a heavy investment and entrusted her with a piece of sable fur that Jin Tong had given her.
People in the front room helped her sew a cloak according to Gong Tianhai's figure.
After getting ready, Ning Zi took some free time and entrusted the servant from the palace to help her send a message to Gong Tianhai and make an appointment to meet. This extraordinary servant was already used to it, and he helped her as usual.
After Zhu Ningzi sent the message, she went back to Zhang He to report in detail.
Gong Tianhai arrived as promised, but Ning Zi arrived late with a hurried look. Ning Zi was trained by Mrs. Jingbei Hou to serve Jin Tong. She has always been dignified and steady. What could have frightened her into being like this?
Gong Tianhai became curious and hurriedly stepped forward to greet Ning Zi: "Ning Zi, what's going on?"
Ning Zi made a silent move and pulled Gong Tianhai into the private room. He put the things he was holding on the ground carelessly and hurriedly closed the door. He leaned against the door and listened for a long time to make sure no one was following.
, then collapsed on the ground: "Amitabha, Lord Buddha bless you! It's okay! It's okay!"
Gong Tianhai helped Ning Zi up. Ning Zi's feet were so weak that she could hardly walk. Gong Tianhai helped her sit up and quickly poured her a cup of hot Leicha to calm her shock. He couldn't help but put her hands on the ground.
Picking up the package food box, he just saw a corner of the package exposed. It was made of extremely high-quality sable fur, which really made him feel itchy. As soon as the food box was in his hands, it was so heavy that Gong Tianhai couldn't help but become confused.
Ning Zi hurriedly opened the food box, and Gong Tianhai's eyes suddenly shone. He visually determined that what was hidden inside the food box was Ning Zi's life savings.
Ning Zi handed over a dozen 100-tael silver notes to Gong Tianhai, then opened a large money bag and poured out the scattered golden melon seeds, plum blossom-shaped, wishful and auspicious-shaped small silver coins.
.
Gong Tianhai was confused and secretly happy in his heart, but the expression on his face was very worried about Ning Zi: "Ning Zi, what happened? What do you mean?"
Ning Zi shed tears before she said a word: "Brother Tianhai, if anything happens to me, I hope you can help me give these silver coins to my parents and be filial to them for me..." She didn't stop crying.
Gong Tianhai hurriedly hugged Ning Zi's shoulders, took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears, and asked urgently: "What happened?"
Ning Zi wiped her tears carelessly, her expression revealing a confusion that meant she didn't know how to start speaking a thousand words. Finally, she said in a shocking way: "Sister Su Bai was poisoned and mute, and the tendons in both hands were severed. From now on,
It’s just that no matter how much you raise him, he will be a useless person.” Ningzi was talking nonsense, but secretly praying in her heart: God! I just said it casually, but please don’t take it seriously! Isn’t this slave really cursing me?
Sister Subai!
The amount of information was so large that Gong Tianhai didn't react for a while. He was stunned for a while before asking: "Su Bai is the most valued by Madam Jin, so how did she end up like this? Although there are rumors outside that Madam Jin is ruthless and never enslaves her slaves.
Treat people as human beings, beat them if you want, kill them if you want. But, didn’t you say that Mrs. Jin is as close to you as sisters?”
Ning Zi struggled for a while before continuing: "It's none of Madam's business. At the beginning of this year, the two maids who served the pen and ink in Master Qi's study disappeared without a trace for some reason."
Gong Tianhai was even more confused. This good-natured person was gone as soon as he said goodbye. Why does this sound so disturbing?
"At first, Madam herself went to clean up the study. After Madam became pregnant, Master Qi did not want Madam to do too much work. Madam then told Subai and I to take turns to clean up Master Qi's study. It must be at noon.
Clean everything in this half hour, and nothing on the desk should be moved. If you don't have time, you don't have to clean it so carefully."
"Seventh Master, Ding You is at home now. He shouldn't have any official duties to attend to. Why is the study still so tightly guarded?"
"Although no one visits the house, Master Qi's study is always full of people." Ning Zi lowered her voice and said, "Madam has repeatedly told me that I would rather work rough than stay in the study for too long. If I hear
No matter what, she can’t protect us.”
"If that's the case, why are you asked to clean the study? Isn't this obviously going to cost you your lives?"
"As I said, the study room was very busy with people coming and going. If you don't clean it up for a day, it's like a garbage dump. Sister Subai always does things meticulously. It took a long time that day, but it ended up like this." Ning Zi felt sad.
Started to cry again.
Gong Tianhai pressed Ning Zi's shoulders with both hands and asked eagerly: "Did you also hear something?"
"In order to help you get this cloak out today, I originally thought that there were only a few stitches left and it wouldn't take long, but I accidentally missed the time. When I rushed there in a hurry, it happened that Qiye's butler delivered it
Looking at the profits of Zhuangzi's shop this year, Master Qi gave a box of silver notes to Mr. Gongsun and ordered him to send it to the Prince of Wei's house quickly so that he could collect the rewards for the next year. Fortunately, I was clever and hid it in the bookcase at the back.
Down there, it was not found.”
Gong Tianhai breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that we weren't discovered!"
"I was not discovered in the study, but I am unlucky today!" Ning Zi stamped her feet anxiously: "When I came out, I happened to see Mr. Gongsun confessing to a few people in the torture room who didn't know what happened. As soon as I met
I immediately stayed away, and I swear I really didn't hear anything this time, but Mr. Gongsun glanced at me and made my hair stand on end."
"Ning Zi, I just hate that I have no ability. I can only watch you suffer without being able to help at all! Otherwise, don't go back. Come with me, and I will hide you first."
"Where can I hide it? In the end, you are also involved!" Ning Zi sighed: "I felt uneasy, so I hid the money I earned over the years. My wife also gave me a lot of valuable jewelry.
I was afraid that if I didn’t wear it regularly, it would be more suspicious, so I didn’t dare to take it out.”
"Don't worry Ningzi, I will definitely send all these silver coins to your parents."
Ning Zi suppressed her nausea, and Gong Tianhai suppressed her ecstasy. The two chatted intimately for a long time, and Gong Tianhai seemed to be reluctant to send Ning Zi to the side door of Pingning Hou Mansion. After another reluctant farewell, the two finally
