Mysterious Tang Dynasty

Chapter 352 Awareness
It's not that Li Lijun is careless. Mother Lu also said earlier that Mrs. Pei's housekeeping is very strict, and her family's servants are all tight-lipped. Why is it that the kindness and resentment between Mrs. Pei and her husband's Zheng family is easily passed on to Mrs. Lu? Is it in the ears of this outsider?
Mrs. Pei returned home with a pair of children. For half a year, no one mentioned the real conflict between her and her mother-in-law. That's all.No one mentioned the details at all.And within a year after her husband's death, she was about to discuss remarriage, and she didn't see any action from the Zheng family in Xingyang to stop her, and she didn't know if it was because of a guilty conscience.Li Lijun didn't think much about it before, but looking back now, it may be that there is a tacit understanding between Mrs. Pei and the Zheng family. She didn't reveal the truth and kept the good reputation of the Zheng family's courtesy, but the Zheng family wanted to let her return home with her children. Can't stop her from remarrying?

Although Madam Lu, who was born in the Zheng family, was gossiping in secret, Madam Lu never publicized it. It was just because the master served by Madam Lu happened to be the daughter of Li Dai, the successor king of the Sui Dynasty, so she secretly asked her subordinates to follow Madam Lu. Mama said some gossip, just to encourage Li Dai's girl to do something.If she was asked to discuss this matter in public, I am afraid she would not have the courage.

Mrs. Pei and the Zheng family guarded this secret tacitly, and when the Yang family tried their best to destroy the marriage, they failed to find out the real inside story, and only dared to use some vague words to slander Mrs. Pei's reputation.Then from whom did Nanny Lu find out the real reason for the discord between Mrs. Pei and her husband's family, and grasp so many details?
As soon as Li Lijun's question came out, Nanny Cui suddenly realized: "That's right! Alu, who did you ask to find out about these things? Don't let someone fool you, right?"

"How can I be so stupid?!" Nanny Lu glared at the old sister, and then said to Li Lijun with a smile, "Little lady is careful, and she felt the smell so quickly. There is indeed a reason for this, but What the old servant heard was definitely not made up!"

She was ordered by Li Lijun to inquire about Mrs. Pei's information as low-key and covert as possible, but she could reveal some flaws so that outsiders would notice that they were inquiring about Mrs. Pei's affairs.This is to explain why Li Lijun secretly left from Saga Mountain Biye suddenly and lived near Zhongnan Mountain for a while.

Considering that most of the other sons and daughters of the heir king Li Dai opposed Mrs. Pei marrying in, so they were left by the elders to "rest" in the Zhuangzi at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, it seems understandable that Li Lijun acted so secretly.But she didn't make trouble, she just asked someone to inquire, and she would quietly go back to Mount Saga afterwards without any objection. She was considered a very well-behaved and docile child.Even if the elders knew that she secretly took someone out of the house, they would probably not blame her too much.

Nanny Lu respectfully obeyed her little lady's instructions, these days she took her nephew and grandson Lu Siyun around Zhongnan Mountain, looking for people to inquire about information.She didn't say her identity and origin, but as long as she was caring, how could she not find that the carriage she was sitting on had the imprint of the Sui Palace?She is also a person who often walks outside, sooner or later she will be recognized as Chen's confidant, and now she is serving by the fourth wife Li Lijun.Then it is not difficult to guess who she ordered to inquire about.Even if outsiders can't guess, there are still many people in the Sui Palace at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain.All the children of the third generation were placed here, and there were naturally people around them to serve and guard them. Concubine Dou also sent her confidants to stay and take care of the grandchildren. These people were very familiar with the two nuns Cui and Lu.

Nanny Lu said that she has basically been looking for Zhuangzi and Bieye located in the Zhongnanshan area for the past few days. .Even if she told others not to tell them that she had been here, they would not be able to obey her.It is estimated that after two or three days, someone discovered her intentions.

Today she happened to be visiting a woman in charge of a certain palace, and while chatting, she heard that Princess Yuzhen was a guest at the mansion of the other party's master.Not long after, a well-dressed middle-aged woman came out to find a woman to chat with, and started talking about some gossip, and started talking to her in a few words, and then chatting, kissing her He kindly called her old sister and said he would treat her to tea.

About Mrs. Pei's grievances and entanglements with her deceased husband's family, that woman seemed to have said it inadvertently during the process of drinking tea.

Later, Madam Lu inquired with acquaintances, and found out that this woman was a maid beside Princess Yuzhen. She was also a palace servant in her early years, and she married someone after leaving the palace.

Nanny Lu said to Li Lijun: "This old slave guesses that Princess Yuzhen intends to be a matchmaker for Mrs. Pei, saying that she gave it to our heir king. She must be hoping that this marriage can be concluded smoothly. She heard about this old slave. When inquiring about the news, I guessed that the young lady sent the old slave here, so I simply asked the lady in charge to talk to the old slave, and told the old slave what he wanted to know, so as to save the old slave from looking for someone everywhere. "

Cui Momo also nodded in agreement: "Exactly, otherwise, who servant woman is so bold to casually tell the scandal about the Zheng family in Xingyang to the people she just met? This is because she is worried that our little lady will also talk to the big lady, the third lady, and the fourth son." Generally opposed to Mrs. Pei's marriage to the heir king, she took the truth to reassure the little lady. She wanted to tell the little lady that although Mrs. Pei had disputes with her deceased husband and her in-law's family because of other women, it was not that she could not tolerate others, but rather It was the Zheng family who made a mistake first."

Mother Lu sighed: "Actually, after hearing about these past events, this old slave felt much more at ease. If the Zheng family hadn't been too aggressive and wanted to suppress Mrs. Pei's son, and asked the eldest son to rob Mrs. Pei's daughter With the limelight of the concubine, Mrs. Pei may tolerate the concubine and the concubine. From this, it can be seen that she is quite gentle, not the kind of person who is narrow-minded and vicious. She can even tolerate the concubine, There is nothing wrong with a former concubine like the little lady, so she must not be harsh on her."

Li Lijun smiled: "If that's the case, then I would also like to treat her politely, everyone respects each other as a guest, maintains a harmonious atmosphere, and saves the effort of competing with others."

Nanny Lu asked Li Lijun: "Little lady, for the sake of hearing the news, this pretense is considered safe, right? Will this old slave continue to go out to inquire about Mrs. Pei's affairs?"

Li Lijun thought for a while: "It's nothing else, I want to see Mrs. Pei, I don't have to meet face to face, just let me take a look at her from a distance." She wanted to see Mrs. Pei's face to make sure she was not He pretends to be virtuous, but actually hides treachery.

She is actually not good at things like fortune-telling, but she has lived for a long time, and she has a little understanding of the superficial.But she has a pair of good eyes now, the other party is just a mortal, if she really hides a traitor in her heart and holds a life in her hands, she can roughly tell a little bit by looking at the other party's anger.But these days, as long as the aristocratic women of aristocratic families have straight eyebrows and no lives in their hands, their character is limited no matter how bad they are, and they are more than enough to match Li Dai.

Mother Lu hurriedly said: "July 24th is Nagarjuna Bodhisattva's Christmas. I heard that the nunnery that Mrs. Pei often goes to has a consecration ceremony. She will definitely take her daughter there. On that day, there will be many female family members of the royal family coming to the nunnery. Timing a little lady is not conspicuous."

July 24th... Isn't that just after the opening of the market?Time is a little tight...

Li Lijun thought about it, and asked the nuns to go down and prepare first.When she returned to her room and there was no one around, she took out the small target mirror, wanting to take a look at the situation on Xiao Yang's side.

The new guy is about to enter the door, and the old guy should have been dealt with earlier.
