Just thinking about it made Nong Yue's bones tremble with fear and she became unsteady.
If he really fell into that situation, it would be better to kill Qingjing head-on than to die innocently.
Nong Yue retired with her heart full of thoughts to do what Aunt Hua asked her to do. She waited until the sunset before coming back exhausted.
"How did things go?" Aunt Hua's eyes were like poisonous snakes, wrapped around Nong Yue's body.
Nong Yue Zhan was trembling with fear. Under Aunt Hua's cold gaze, her pretty face turned pale and pale: "This slave has already done as Madam ordered. The bait has been put down, and we are just waiting for the big fish to take the bait."
After hearing this, Aunt Hua finally felt a glimmer of sunshine on her gloomy face. She sneered and said: "When the bait is put, the big fish will naturally take the bait." She snorted disdainfully: "You come from a poor family, how could you do that?
If you can resist the temptation of gold, silver and jewels, if you are interested in making a few more remarks, you will naturally not be able to sit still!"
Little bitch, what do you think I can't do to you if you send me to the family temple?
dream!
As long as I am here, I will never allow you to be proud!
Lin Mansion
Hong Xiu looked at the various attentive faces with a calm expression. Ever since Aunt Luo took charge of the Lin Mansion's middle minister, her status had risen rapidly and she had become the object of fawning for many servants.
Hongxiu also saw a lot of the faces that were rising and falling, and she didn't find it strange. This kind of thing was too common in the door of the mansion, so she didn't take it to heart. She continued to walk forward when she suddenly heard a thief coming from behind the rockery.
Whisper.
"Have you seen the property given by the emperor today? Oh, I have been working in the government for half my life, but I have never seen so many good things. If I take out each one, I am afraid it is enough to buy a big house.
.”
"Isn't that right? The thing given by the emperor is different. The six-foot coral is bright red. This is the first time for this old woman to see it."
"And those sixteen night-light pearls, all of them are the size of pigeon eggs..."
Behind the rockery, there were obviously a few quarrelsome slaves talking about Lin Qingran's six boxes of gifts from the emperor.
Hongxiu snorted secretly, she was still working as an errand in the Prime Minister's Mansion, yet her eyelids were so shallow.
Just as he was about to take a step, he was attracted by the content below. He raised his feet and slowly put them back down, listening carefully.
"Do you think this imperial position belongs to the second lady or to the Duke?"
"It must belong to the second young lady. This imperial edict clearly states that it is given to Princess Zhaohua. Isn't Princess Zhaohua our second young lady?"
"I think it should be returned to the official family. The second lady has not yet gotten married. Is it possible that these gifts given by the emperor will still be used as dowry? Wouldn't it be a waste of advantage for others?"
"You're right. That's a golden mountain. If you're taking advantage of others, it's better to take advantage of your own."
"If you ask me, it depends on whether our new aunt is smart or not. She has just taken charge of the central government. If the house has such a big income, then the real money will be distributed, whether it is buying a shop or not.
, or buying land and collecting rent, it will be a large amount of income in the future, and it will naturally establish prestige in the government, and it will also be valued by the old lady and the prime minister. Even if Aunt Hua comes back in the future, she will be able to establish a firm foothold in the inner house.
, to keep the power of the master in his hands."
"Listening to what you said, it does make some sense, but I don't think our new aunt is someone who thinks so long-term. I'm afraid she didn't think of this level."
…
The voice gradually faded away. Hongxiu listened for a long time, but he didn't see the two figures, and he didn't know which house the broken-mouthed woman was from.
However, Hong Xiu's expression became thoughtful, and she stood there thinking for a long time before turning around and returning to Aunt Luo's yard.
