Splendid spring returns

Chapter 252 The rain is coming
"Tan Feng came to me today to ask Aunt Qiu and Madam Yao what happened, and I told him."

"Does he believe you?"

Xin Nian smiled slightly: "It has always happened, why don't you believe it? As long as I don't tell you and you don't tell me, who knows that Aunt Qiu will finally confess her identity to me? He only hates that Zhang Yang and Aunt Qiu are so passionate that I missed something important. Naturally, I was shocked and regretted it. I just said that if I knew that she and Mrs. Yao were like me, I would have covered it up for her immediately. I only regret that when the two of us were still tit for tat, you came and became furious when I heard about it. He kidnapped the person without any reason, and I was really powerless to do anything about what happened next. Not only did he not blame me, he actually comforted me."

Gu Changting stroked her long hair and said calmly: "Of course he has to comfort you. After what happened with Aunt Qiu and Yao Yutong, the palace has been cleaned up by me. Three of the guards were arrested. Now they are here Even if there are still chess pieces in this mansion, I'm afraid they are not important people. The only one they can rely on is you."

Xin Nian closed his eyes and said softly: "I know, there are a lot of things that I will be asked to arrange in the future. Changting, you... are you very sure that this situation is under your control? Don't be beaten all day long. The geese pecked the eyes, and in the end, they were killed."

Gu Changting's hand paused for a moment, and after a moment he said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I am absolutely sure of it. It's just that... there are a lot of things that can lead to great joy, sadness or peace. After the New Year, as long as the prince takes action, there will definitely be a difficult time in the palace. Nian Nian, when the time comes, you and your eldest sister must take good care of our ancestors and make sure not to frighten her, otherwise I will be guilty of a serious crime."

Xin Nian raised her eyes to look at him and said softly: "No wonder you have tolerated Sister Xian recently. Is it because of the future?"

"Otherwise? Furthermore, after I told her Yao Yutong's crime, she was frightened to death. Didn't you realize that she has stopped recently? Sure enough, she can keep her peace, so what if she lives in the mansion? Once in the mansion in the future If things change, she and you will be able to rely on each other."

Xin Nian thought: Rely?It would be nice if you don't stumbling upon me then.

But after all, she was Gu Changting's sister, and she had some blood and family ties with her. It was hard for me to expose her, so I vaguely agreed.

The next day, as soon as Xin Nian saw Gu Changting off, Shouning Palace sent someone to call her.Naturally, such a shocking event could not be hidden from the old concubine, so she went over to briefly report it. Seeing that the old concubine was very frightened, she hurriedly comforted her and did not return to Qingliang Pavilion until noon.

In the past two years, as the power of the Liao family has gradually declined, no one paid much attention to Aunt Qiu. Although the fate of her and Yao Yutong was shocking, everyone discussed it for a while and it passed.

It’s the end of the year in a blink of an eye.Gu Yunxian was dragged down by Yao Yutong, and he had become much more at ease recently, or maybe he had the intention to embarrass Xin Nian. In short, he ignored everything in the house and only left it to Xin Nian.

As a result, Xin Nian was so busy that he hit her on the back of the head. Not only Aunt Gu, but also Aunt Qin used it. Xinghua, who was not pregnant at the moment, also came back to help, and she was the new high-ranking official in the palace. housekeeper.

The servants saw that the Liao family and Gu Yunxian had lost power one after another, but in the end, Aunt Xin was still standing tall, and everyone was more respectful than before.Moreover, Xin Nian was fair and shrewd in his work. After a few rounds, even the housekeepers who were dissatisfied at first and thought about trying to find a way out were all impressed.

So after this year, Xin Nian's position in the mansion was completely stable. Although there were hundreds of servants, she was like an arm and a finger, without any hesitation.When Gu Yunxian saw this scene, he naturally regretted it. However, Xin Nian had become a leader and was doted on by Gu Changting. Now, except Aunt Gu, all other people's children were raised in her name. She deserved the saying "hard work pays off". All of this is worth it. It's not like her natal sister can shake her.

The only good thing is that Xin Nian is not as ambitious as Liao. Although the two have little contact, they still give him enough respect.The people on Gu Yunxian's side realized that they were not qualified to argue, so they all shrank their necks, so Xin Nian's side also stopped and did not take advantage of the situation to pursue the victory and refuse to give up.But as a result, Gu Yunxian was reluctant to move out. Where was the place in Anguo Gong's Mansion that was not dominated by superiors and inferiors?She is a widow, so what if she is the princess?How can we be as happy as in the house?It's just that I can't get any power, which is really annoying.

As Gu Changting's sister, Gu Yunxian is still quite ambitious. The kind attitude of her younger brother and Xin Nian gave her the confidence to push forward, because she has been thinking about how to take the housekeeper's power away from Xin Nian bit by bit. , although it is impossible no matter how you think about it, it will never be possible if you don’t want to. It depends on people.

But until the Lantern Festival was over, Gu Yunxian didn't think of a reason.

Big events have happened every year in the past two years, and this year has not been very prosperous, especially because the emperor's temper suddenly became moody for some reason. Gu Changting's temper has been restrained, but he will still be picked on for no reason and scolded at every turn. A meal, not to mention punishment, Gu Changting's salary has been suspended for five years.

Things are not going well for Gu Changting. Correspondingly, things are going uphill for the prince and the Liao family. Even the old concubine called everyone over to warn them, saying that they must keep their tail between their legs during these days. This shows that Prince Duan The daily situation of the government is difficult.

But the harder part is yet to come.

On February [-]nd, Xin Nian was talking to Aunt Qin early in the morning that they should eat spring pancakes today. I don’t know how the preparations in the kitchen were. I’ll go check it out later. Because there are many children in Qingliang Pavilion, I have to prepare more according to my personal taste. some fillings.Suddenly, a daughter-in-law came in hurriedly, saying that the emperor was vomiting blood. At this moment, Gu Changting was rushing to the palace, and he probably wouldn't go home for dinner today.

"The Emperor vomits blood?"

Not to mention Xin Nian, even Aunt Qin was surprised. The two looked at each other, and Xin Nian asked, "Have you told your ancestors about this?"

The daughter-in-law said: "No. The prince just wanted to talk to my aunt and let you think about it."

"okay, I get it."

Xin Nian waved her hand and when she saw her daughter-in-law going out, she slowly walked out of the door and glanced at the sky. She saw large lead clouds filling the sky, which made her heart heavy and made her feel as if she could not breathe.

"Go back quickly. Even though it is the first month of the year, the weather is still very cold, especially the wind is strong today. Don't catch a cold again. If you are sick now, there is no one in the house who can make the decision. I’m afraid my aunt will get her wish.”

Aunt Qin shouted in the room, Xin Nian turned to look at her, smiled bitterly and said: "You are right, the more it is like this when the storm is about to come, the more I have to be steady and not get sick. Don’t panic.”
