Zhangjia Jinzhi

Chapter 176 Drowning
Li Taiwei was a little surprised. Grandma just went to Fahua Temple to pay respects to the Buddha yesterday, and it would take three to five days before returning home. How could she come back so soon?And still so anxious to see her?
Mrs. Zhao was also quite surprised, thinking that Mrs. Li might have something important to tell Li Taiwei, so she raised her skirt and stood up.

"Since grandma is looking for you, the princess should go earlier..."

Li Taiwei nodded, and when she walked to the door, she turned around and gave Mrs. Zhao a few words, and then followed Luyi to Hua'an Hall.

When we arrived at Hua'an Hall, Mrs. Li was already waiting in the house.

There was no incense in the hall, so Li Taiwei raised her eyes to look at her grandmother, seeing that her eyes were a little black, she guessed that Mrs. Li didn't sleep well last night.

"grandmother……"

Li Taiwei stepped forward to salute, took the decoction from Lu Yi's hand, brought it to Mrs. Li herself, and said softly,

"Grandmother is still weak, why didn't she take a good rest in the monastery and hurried back to the mansion? But what happened?"

Mrs. Li lowered her eyes to look at Li Taiwei, who is now very sensible, and felt quite comforted in her heart, she glanced sideways at Lu Yi.

Lu Yi understood, saluted and left the door, guarding the door with Dafu, leaving only Nanny Sun to wait in the room.

Seeing this, Li Taiwei guessed that the matter was urgent, so she couldn't help sitting up straight, and listened intently to Mrs. Li's words.

Sure enough, Mrs. Li frowned and said:
"It turns out that this matter should not be told to you, a girl who has not left the cabinet, but your mother and sister-in-law are both pregnant, so you should not be alarmed, and sister Yao is not in tune. Your eldest aunt is not well recently. I think After thinking about it, now that your father has entrusted you to be the head of the house, he will talk to you first."

Li Taiwei nodded, and seeing that Nanny Sun's face beside her was not looking well, she guessed that something difficult must have happened to her grandmother, and her face became a bit more serious:
"Grandma please tell me."

Mrs. Li sighed and said:
"Yesterday, I went to Fahua Temple to offer incense. I slept until midnight and it rained heavily. Seeing that the house was leaking, Nanny Sun asked someone to pack up the bags and changed the room overnight."

"Who would have thought that just after moving to an empty room next door, she would hear noises from the neighbors, and Nanny Sun was worried, so she asked someone to turn on the light to go and check. She actually bumped into the sixth girl of the Chang family committing adultery"

Mrs. Li's expression was sombre, she had a hard time talking to Li Taiwei, which made Li Taiwei turn pale with shock.

Chang Yongfang actually committed misdeeds with others in Fahua Temple?
"Grandma, can you see who that man is?"

Li Taiwei was a little shocked, Chang Yongfang only got engaged to the eldest prince a month ago, she couldn't think of anyone who would have the courage to cuckold the eldest prince.

Mrs. Li shook her head and said in a low voice:
"It was dark and it was raining heavily. The man knew how to do some work. He escaped from the window when he saw it, and he couldn't look at his face."

"It's inconvenient for the guards in the women's house to come in, and the maidservants beside me were too scared, so I had to invite Mrs. Chang to come."

"Madam Chang saw Miss Chang Liu's clothes were disheveled, she almost fainted, and when she recovered, she begged me to come."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Li's face turned pale:
"This matter is related to the reputation of the Chang family, and it is also related to the face of the royal family. In your opinion, what should I do?"

Mrs. Li frowned slightly, this matter is really difficult.
If one is not good, I'm afraid it will cause fire. If it is stabbed in front of the Empress Dowager, the Chang family's reputation will not be mentioned, and it will even be enmity with the Li family. King's crime.
Thinking of Dali Temple Qing Changhai's personality, Li Taiwei felt a little uneasy, she raised her eyes to Mrs. Li and asked:

"When grandma returns home today, Mrs. Chang and Miss Chang Liu will still stay in the temple?"

Mrs. Li was startled for a moment when she heard the words.

Yesterday Mrs. Chang kowtowed to her in front of Chang and Li's servants, begging her to keep Chang Yongfang's reputation. Although she agreed temporarily, she didn't want to get too involved with such a family, so she left early Fahua Temple did not pay attention to whether the Chang family also returned home.

Grandma Sun, who was standing aside, thought about it carefully and said:

"Returning to the princess, when the old slave got up early to help the old lady arrange the carriage, he seemed to have seen the carriage of the Chang family. Perhaps today he also left Fahua Temple and returned to the Chang mansion."

Back to Changfu?

Li Taiwei's eyes were dark, he couldn't help sighing, and said:
"Grandmother, don't worry about it. If Miss Chang Liu survives today, it's not too late for us to discuss it."

Mrs. Li and Nanny Sun immediately looked at each other when they heard the words, took a breath, and said in surprise:
"How can this happen? She is the first wife."

Li Taiwei held the tea, looked at the two of them fixedly, and said:
"Chang Siqing has a vicious personality, let alone a girl from the first line or the eldest son who hinders the family's future, there may not be a way to survive."

This person had dealt with her a lot in the previous life, and Li Taiwei knew his behavior very well.If he hadn't been implicated because of the downfall of the second prince, Chang Siqing would have been in serious trouble!

Mrs. Li heard that Li Taiwei was so determined, she couldn't help but turn pale, and felt a little restless.

Although the sixth girl of the Chang family has no sense of shame, it is because she accidentally bumped into her. If she loses her life because of this, she will really feel uneasy.
Mrs. Li clasped her hands together, held the Buddhist beads and recited Amitabha a few times, holding some hope in her heart, after all, Sister Wei was raised by a girl who was raised in a deep boudoir, so she could really be regarded as a real minister of Changsi.

Li Taiwei saw that Madam Li's face was not looking well, so she said a few words of comfort in a gentle voice.

It is inconvenient for the Li family to intervene in Miss Chang Liu's matter at this time. Besides, Chang Yongfang married into the Duanjun Palace in her previous life, and she was quite at odds with her, so she naturally had no reason to help.

Whether it is life or death, it depends on the destiny!

Sure enough, when it was time to light the lanterns, someone from the Chang family came.

Mrs. Chang's wet nurse came to Mrs. Li and kowtowed in front of Mrs. Li. With red eyes, she talked about Miss Chang Liu who accidentally fell into the pond today. Familiar with him, he boldly came to the mansion to report the funeral.

Mrs. Li's heart was heavy, but she didn't say anything, and waved her hand at Chang's nurse with red eyes.

Seeing this, Nanny Sun took over the message to call Madam Chang's condolences, and ordered someone to send a heavy memorial ceremony to the Chang's house, and the nurse of the Chang's family said goodbye with gratitude.

At night, Mrs. Li didn't have the appetite for dinner, so she asked someone to invite Li Sheng to Hua'an Hall to talk.

Li Shengcai heard that Miss Chang Liu fell into the water and drowned, and when Mrs. Li explained the whole story, his face darkened.

It is said that the poison of a tiger does not eat its children. Chang Siqing is so cruel, it is really shocking.

"Sanlang, according to your opinion. Do you want to report this matter to the palace?"

Mrs. Li can't feel at ease. Chang Siqing can deal with her own daughters and daughters. If she intends to frame Li's family in the future, wouldn't it be
Li Sheng shook his head when he heard the words, and said in relief:

"Mother, don't worry, this matter is well known to the son"

Hearing Li Sheng's words, Mrs. Li felt relieved, raised her eyes and said to Li Sheng hesitantly:

"Sanlang, it's better to settle our sister Wei's marriage earlier, the capital is restless, and I heard that the queen mother is not in good health recently."
