In the morning, Xiao Kezhong heard about Xuanbao rushing to Yicai Garden to snatch Xiao Mingzhu's breakfast. Later, Xiao Keren went to Lingyun Garden to help her. He also heard about it, but Xiao Kezhong didn't know that his third brother had suffered a big loss.
When Xuan Bao came in with his meal, Xiao Kezhong didn't expect that he was the second one. He really admired the little baby's courage.
Xuan Bao swallowed the meat in his mouth and then said slowly: "I didn't expect that life in the Hou Mansion would be so difficult. One porridge and two dishes are so bland that they might not be enough for a human being to eat."
"Don't you have any idea why you were targeted?" Xiao Kezhong asked.
"No, anyway, as long as the house has it, no matter whose it is, I can eat whatever I want. Although it's troublesome, it's like I have to come to you to eat some meat."
If I can’t eat here, I’ll go out to eat.”
What do you mean? Xiao Kezhong didn't understand for a while, and an idea flashed in his mind and his eyes widened.
"That's what you think. Maybe I went to Kyoto to file a complaint on a whim, and sued the Hou Mansion for abusing me and not giving me enough to eat. Xiao Kezhong, Mr. Xiao, I am not afraid of embarrassment, but are you afraid of embarrassment?
I wonder if the Hou Mansion is afraid of being embarrassed?"
Seeing Xiao Kezhong's gloomy face and silence, Xuanbao was in a good mood and ate more than usual. Finally, after drinking a bowl of soup, the little baby patted his belly with satisfaction.
"I'm very curious." Xuan Bao jumped off the chair and looked up at Xiao Kezhong with a half-smile, "My mother is seriously ill, and you are sad and sad, but you use this as an excuse to embarrass me. In the words of the country people, your consciences are all fucked up by dogs.
have eaten."
After saying that, Xuan Bao looked at Xiao Kezhong with disdain, and then walked away with the two maids.
"Damn Xiao Laosan, you have such bad ideas." Xiao Kezhong couldn't help but blame Xiao Keren.
Looking at the food on the table, Xiao Kezhong was so angry that he was still angry after thinking about it, so he moved to find Xiao Keren.
Xiao Keren, who was in depression, still had a bad face when he was pulled up from the bed by his elder brother. Facing Xiao Kezhong, he did not dare to hide it and told everything about what he had been reprimanded by Li Guang.
Xiao Kezhong's expression finally softened a little. After Xuanbao went to Yicaiyuan to grab breakfast, he thought that Xiao Keren should solve the matter immediately, but he didn't expect that this matter would still happen, so no wonder he didn't deal with it in time.
When he heard that Xuan Bao came to grab lunch again, Xiao Keren was speechless and quickly asked his servants to tell the kitchen that the previous order was invalid, hoping that the little baby would not cause trouble again.
"Okay, I don't care whether Xuan Bao is good or bad. She is right about one thing. My mother's body is the most important thing right now. Please be more at ease with me." When Xiao Kezhong was talking, he noticed that there was a boy at the door.
Wai Tantuan Tannuo said angrily, "The people under your command should be disciplined and disciplined."
The boy outside quickly walked in. After saluting, he glanced at Xiao Kezhong but hesitated to speak.
Xiao Keren shouted impatiently: "Speak!"
The boy did not dare to delay and quickly told what he had heard. Xiao Keren was shocked.
It turned out that Xiao Keren felt that the maid who slapped herself in Yicaiyuan was a little strange. He didn't think that when he thought about her behavior later, he was obviously very frightened, so he casually ordered the servant next to him to find out what mistake she had made.
The result of the inquiry was unexpected. It was said that it was because the little maid called Xiao Mingzhu "Sixth Miss".
"Why can't you call me 'Sixth Miss'?" Xiao Keren asked casually.
The boy was confused and replied: "I don't even understand. Anyway, the servants of Yicaiyuan can only call them 'Miss'. Anyone who adds that word will be in bad luck."
Xiao Keren and Xiao Kezhong were both smart people. The boy didn't understand, but they got the clue.
The two brothers looked at each other and looked away at the same time, but they had an idea in their minds.
Such Xiao Mingzhu was really unfamiliar to both of them. For the first time, they both felt that maybe she was not as good as they thought.
"Okay, don't hide in the house anymore." Xiao Kezhong changed the subject, "Uncle, uncle, what you did is really not the right thing. I should teach you a lesson for my father. There is no shame in it. You can admit your mistake another time."
"I don't admit it," Xiao Keren said angrily.
Xiao Kezhong sighed softly and patted Xiao Keren's shoulder, then turned and left.
Besides, Xuanbao went straight to Qinse Courtyard after getting up from her nap. The little baby, who had eaten enough and slept well, had a light pink on her fair and tender face. She looked happy. All the irritability of Princess Rouping disappeared the moment she saw her.
The smoke disappeared.
"Come on, let me give you a hug."
Xuan Bao snuggled into Princess Rouping's arms, and then stretched out his little hand to touch her face.
"My mother's complexion has improved a lot."
Aunt Ying took over and said, "Strange to say, the princess's appetite has improved and her sleep has improved in the past few days."
"What about the other people in Qinse Courtyard?" Xuanbao asked.
After being stunned for a moment, Grandma Ying said with some uncertainty: "It seems that she is in better spirits than before."
"Well, that's right." Xuan Bao nodded heavily, "Although the formation has not been activated, it still has an impact on the people in Qinse Courtyard. From the Feng Shui point of view, my mother's bedroom is the first to bear the brunt, and other people are more or less affected.
will be affected.”
"You have sinister intentions and regard human life as nothing." Princess Rouping was a little excited, "Xuanbao, are we just going to wait like this?"
"Mom, have you ever thought about who would take action against you?"
Princess Rouping had already figured it out. After hesitating for a moment, she said: "Second room."
"Well, it was the formation that Second Aunt asked Master Jingkong to set up. It was about a few years ago. If I am not mistaken, my mother's health has been getting worse and worse since then."
Aunt Ying immediately reacted: "Five years ago, because the seventh lady disappeared, the second lady suggested that the princess ask Master Jingkong to do it."
"Yes, Xuan Bao disappeared after he was born. I was so sad that I was bedridden." Princess Rouping's memory was so clear that it seemed like it happened yesterday, "Yes, at that time they said they were chanting sutras and praying for our mother and daughter."
"After that, my mother's health deteriorated, and the internal affairs of the Hou Mansion were finally handed over to the second aunt." Xuan Bao said calmly. The fact that Fang Rongru was in charge of the Hou Mansion was not a secret even in the capital, let alone the Hou Mansion.
.
Princess Rouping realized instantly: "This formation is aimed at me."
"It's so abominable." Aunt Ying stomped her feet angrily, "What a good plan. The Marquis and the princess are deeply in love with each other and have no concubines. If you are unable to take charge of the internal affairs, it will definitely fall into her hands, Fang Rongru."
"Seizing power in the government was her motive back then. After so many years, what prompted her to think about it again?" Xuan Bao couldn't figure it out.
Taking Xuan Bao into her arms, Princess Rouping said distressedly: "I'm really sorry for you. I originally thought that you had suffered all these years, and my mother wanted to make it up to you, but I didn't expect that bringing you back would only make you more troubled.
."
"Don't worry, don't worry." Xuan Bao clumsily comforted Princess Rouping, "By the way, mother, if you haven't done anything these years, don't you care about the accounts of the mansion as well?"
