In Prince Rui's mansion, Aunt Liu was sitting in her room. She said that the prince had returned from delivering a letter. She raised her eyes and put down the tea in her hand. She took out the handkerchief and wiped her hands before slowly taking the letter.
From beginning to end, she didn't feel anxious at all because it was a letter from the prince. Her movements were elegant and attractive, and the girl serving beside her didn't think it was strange when she saw this.
Mrs. Liu opened the letter and read it once, then handed it to the candle and lit it. She put it on the ground and watched the letter burn away bit by bit before raising her eyes.
The people around did not dare to take a breath. Although Mrs. Liu was just an aunt, she used to be in charge of the affairs in the backyard of the mansion. Although Concubine Mu had handed over the power after entering the mansion, they used to
They were all under the control of Aunt Liu, and naturally she was fearful.
The Liu family came from a family of officials. Her father was in charge of the Ministry of Rites in the court. Although she was not an important courtier, it was precisely because she was in charge of the Ministry of Rites that the daughter she raised was well-behaved. No one could find anything wrong with her actions and her temperament.
Gentle and kind-hearted, although there were many concubines in Prince Rui's palace, she always made them admire her.
This is also fate. With a family background like Liu's, she was supposed to marry a suitable family and become a young mistress. However, when she went out to offer incense, she was attracted by Feng Guran, and she was given the title of aunt the next day.
Got the house.
An ordinary woman would have been crying and crying for a long time, but Mrs. Liu acted as if nothing had happened and started to live her life as an aunt. Feng Guran liked this very much about her, so he doted on her especially when he saw that she was being pampered.
She was neither coquettish nor impatient, and the princess had no mistress, so she left the affairs of the inner court in her hands.
Over the years, Mrs. Liu has never forgotten her identity, let alone suppressing other women with her own power, so the backyard of Prince Rui's Mansion is always peaceful.
However, ever since Mu Lingyun got married, the palace has not been like before. Ever since the power of the Liu family was handed over, the voices of dissatisfaction from the women can often be heard in the backyard. Some of them wanted to make trouble, but they were all caught by Mu Lingyun.
This opportunity was dealt with, which also acted as a deterrent.
This made Mu Lingyun feel proud, while Mrs. Liu looked on with cold eyes. After all, she was a concubine, and she was just an aunt. Naturally, she couldn't care so much, and she could only live her own peaceful life.
Now that she received this letter from the prince, she could no longer keep quiet. A faint smile appeared on the corner of her lips. After all, her efforts over the years had not been in vain. The prince still believed in her, so she would not send a letter at this time.
Do you want to find a way to drive Mu Lingyun's family out without anyone noticing?
The one who has no looks and is stupid can have a woman, but he will just let her dance around for a few days.
"Xique, what's going on in the side yard these days?" Xique is the girl Liu brought from home.
Also a confidant.
Magpie took the quilt and put it on his master's lap, and said with a faint smile, "Concubine Mu has been suppressing the women in the courtyard since she entered the house. How can it be quiet over there? She is either crying or hitting people all day long. It's so lively
Unfortunately, Concubine Mu’s mother is a troublemaker, and Concubine Mu needs to be dignified in front of her family.”
Mrs. Liu raised her eyelids and glanced at her. Magpie knew that she had said the wrong thing, so she lowered her head and retreated. Mrs. Liu said quietly, "I brought you from the palace, and I know what is going on in the palace at the moment. I
She is just an aunt. If she makes one wrong move, she will be doomed. The prince is a ruthless person, so she has to rely on herself. Don’t say such nonsense in the future. Even if it is rotten in your heart, you can’t say it out and spread it to some people’s ears.
, haven’t our efforts over the years been in vain?”
"I know my mistake."
Magpie also knew that she had said the wrong thing. Over the years, she had seen how the young lady had worked hard step by step until now. At that time, the young lady was a proud person. Many families came to ask for marriage but were rejected by the young lady. However, she did not want to be looked at by Prince Rui.
Go up and forcefully carry the person into the house, and she is also an aunt.
After knowing this, the young lady didn't say anything and locked herself in the room. When she came out, she said goodbye to her family with a smile, and was carried away to the palace in a small green sedan chair.
"What she does will only make her annoy the prince sooner. But after all, she has a brother who is a general. The prince can tolerate her for a while. We just have to be ourselves. Whoever likes to make trouble can let her make trouble.
Go, go to the big kitchen and ask someone to stew some bird's nests for me later. Remember to tell them to use the best bird's nests." Madam Liu had already made a calculation in her mind.
The magpie responded and retreated. It was so late at night, why did the master think of eating bird's nest? And to use the best bird's nest, wouldn't it make Concubine Mu jealous? Concubine Mu originally didn't want to eat bird's nest because the master used to be in charge of the inner courtyard.
I'm glad Master, if Master hadn't done everything right, Concubine Mu would have been in trouble a long time ago.
Especially bird's nests. In the past few days, Concubine Mu's family had been cooking bird's nests in the kitchen all day long, while other concubines could only get some if they wanted to eat them. Many people came to the master to complain.
Today, the master even said that he wanted to eat bird's nests, but he also wanted to eat good ones. Is it possible that the master is going to fight back?
Thinking that ever since Concubine Mu entered the house, her life has been very depressing. The master is about to fight back. This is great. The magpie's footsteps became much lighter when he thought of this.
When the people in the kitchen saw the magpie coming, it was so late, and they rushed to greet her, "The magpie girl is here."
The magpie glanced inside and saw something was still stewed on the stove, and then smiled and said, "Our aunt wants to eat bird's nest. Let me tell you. She also said that she must use the best bird's nest."
The woman in the kitchen had been taken care of by Mrs. Liu before. When she heard that Aunt Liu wanted to eat, she immediately agreed with a smile and asked someone to bring them the best bird's nests. If the concubines nearby only brought ordinary bird's nests.
Deal with it, after all, Concubine Mu ordered that the top-quality bird's nests in the mansion are for the master to eat, and the aunt and concubine are just servants.
Magpie looked satisfied and thanked him, turned around and went back, but it happened that Chlorophytum, the girl next to Mu Lingyun, came to the kitchen to get supper and saw this scene. When she went in, she just pretended not to see it, took the supper and left, walking quickly to the side courtyard.
A few points.
After Mu Lingyun heard what Chlorophytum said, she snorted coldly. Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but speak first, "The last thing you can do is give in to such a concubine, otherwise they won't know how high the sky is. You've passed on your words to the kitchen."
The mother-in-law didn't even listen to your words, but sold her a favor to her aunt. My daughter, you can't keep such a person."
In the past few days, I can enjoy the life of my ancestors when I go to Prince Rui's Mansion, and the Zhang family has also put on more airs.
Mu Lingyun had been looking for an opportunity, and she finally found one today. She didn't need her mother to tell her that she would turn a blind eye. She raised her eyebrows and said, "Let's go over and have a look. I think she's feeling unwell."
Mrs. Zhang smiled and said, "This is my mother's good girl."
After saying that, he picked up the bird's nest that Chlorophytum brought back and ate it. To say that Prince Rui's Mansion is rich, he can eat bird's nest every day, which is better than in Mu Mansion. Moreover, his daughter is the eldest here. Who knows?
Dare to disrespect yourself.
After Mu Lingyun got dressed, he looked at the bronze mirror again before taking the spider plant out. As for Mrs. Liu, she had been waiting for someone to deliver it to her door. The matter that the prince ordered could be solved today. In this way
, will it rise to another level in the prince’s heart?
"Hey, what are you eating, Aunt Liu? It smells delicious. I came at the right time." Mu Lingyun didn't let anyone inform her, she just raised the curtain and walked in.
Mrs. Liu put down the bowl in her hand, stood up and said, "I have met Concubine Mu."
Mu Lingyun didn't ask her to get up, and went straight to the couch and sat down, looking at the bird's nest on the square table, "Oh, the color of this bird's nest is so good, it can be seen that it is not ordinary."
Just ignore Mrs. Liu and go straight to the bird's nest.
Mrs. Liu directly replied, "Concubine Mu has a good eye, she is the best bird's nest."
Mu Lingyun raised his head and looked over, "Our Wangfu family has a big business and a large population. One thing I didn't pay attention to is that the money is like running water. A while ago, the people in the warehouse said that there were only a few kilograms of the best bird's nests. It was cold today.
The ground is freezing. I wonder what the prince will eat when he comes back?"
Mrs. Liu raised her head in surprise, "How could such a thing happen? How come I haven't heard of it? When I heard from the servants in the mansion that the best bird's nests were even given to Concubine Mu for her family to eat, I was still envious.
As for Concubine Mu’s family, it’s good to have such a filial daughter as Concubine Mu. What should I do? Concubine Mu doesn’t have to worry. When the prince comes back, I will go and plead guilty in person.”
Mu Lingyun's face was slightly ugly, "Who is this bad talker talking nonsense about how my mother and father can eat that bird's nest? I only want to keep it for the prince, how could I break the rules myself?"
Mrs. Liu committed herself and knelt on the ground, "I made a mistake, and I know it's wrong."
"Since you haven't heard about it, I don't blame you for this. Get up. It seems that the people in the kitchen have to be changed. It's hard to tell who is the master." Mu Lingyun stood up and looked at it meaningfully.
Mr. Liu glanced at him and strode away.
It wasn't until she heard the footsteps walking away that Mrs. Liu took Magpie's hand and stood up. A strange smile appeared on her lips. To deal with such a woman, she could be doomed by just raising her hand.
The magpie also saw that the master was a drunkard and didn't care about drinking, but he didn't know what the master cared about.
Mu Lingyun went all the way back to his side courtyard. When he entered the house and saw his mother still eating, she felt a little annoyed. Although it was an advantage to be able to replace the people in the kitchen, thinking about what Liu just said, she felt a little annoyed in her heart.
There is no bottom.
What if the prince comes back and she really goes to him to admit her mistake and exposes her family's eating of bird's nests, what will the prince think of her?
No, I have to send my family out of the house first. It is best to ask my mother to get some bird's nests from Mu's house to make up for it. If Mrs. Liu sues her in front of the prince, wouldn't she be shooting herself in the face?
Her feet? In this way, Liu fell out of favor in front of the prince. From now on, she can do whatever she wants, and the prince will not interfere.
