The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 15 Mother is ill
When Mrs. Hu heard the eunuch outside announcing that her master had arrived, she thought she was dreaming.

The master hasn't been to Liufang Pavilion for almost half a year. Why did he suddenly come here tonight?

Hu hurriedly stood up, and Yinzhen had already stepped into the house.

"My lord, please forgive me for not coming to welcome you in person." Mrs. Hu bowed her head.

"No problem. I'm here to see how your injury is. Raise your head so I can see."

Mrs. Hu raised her head slightly, her nose felt sore, and two lines of tears rolled down.

It's not that she really felt wronged, but she needed to show weakness again and again at this time.

I am just a little princess, and although it sounds nice, I am nothing more than half a slave.

If you want to live a better life in this palace, you have to rely on the love and mercy of your master.

Su Peisheng glanced at Yucui, and Yucui hurriedly left.

Yinzhen seemed to ignore Hu's tears and suddenly said, "The jade hairpin of Concubine Concubine..."

Hu was startled but tried to remain calm.

"The jade hairpin that Concubine had was very nice, but I heard it was broken. What a pity."

"I am asking you, do you know what is inside that hairpin?" Yinzhen's face darkened.

He continued, "It's okay if you don't tell me. I've already sent someone to check. That hairpin came from the Zhenbao Pavilion that your uncle opened on the street. Whether you tell me or not, I know it. It just depends on whether you are honest or not."

Seeing Yinzhen say this, Hu gritted her teeth and said, "Please tell me clearly, Master."

Yinzhen groaned for a while and said, "Forget it, since you don't want to say it."

"Su Peisheng, take the hairpin fragments and bring the owner of Zhenbao Pavilion to the government tomorrow. Accuse him of selling inferior goods."

"Slave takes orders."

Su Peisheng said this and was about to leave.

Seeing this, Mrs. Hu was shocked and knelt down hurriedly. "Master, please spare my life. Zhenbao Pavilion is my mother's home. If this happens, I will not be able to survive."

"It was the hairpin that someone ordered at Zhenbao Pavilion before you married Concubine last year, but I don't know how it was presented to Concubine later. Later, Concubine said that Concubine had worked hard in serving the master, so she gave it to Concubine as a reward. As for what's in it, I really don't know, and I hope the master can see clearly."

Yinzhen sneered: "So, you and your servant are innocent."

Mrs. Hu didn't dare to speak, she just lowered her head and knelt.

Yinzhen stood up and left a word.

"Only this king and I know about what happened today."

"I don't have to worry about it."

After Yinzhen had been gone for a while, Hu got up from the ground in a cold sweat. Her spring clothes were thin and her knees were a little cold.

At breakfast the next day, she heard that the master had punished a young eunuch and a second-class maid in the Xingfu Courtyard, saying that they had not served the Lady well enough.

Fu Jin said nothing, but just recommended a new second-class maid.

When the news reached Jinglan Courtyard, Nian Shilan had just finished breakfast and was reading a letter from home.

The letter from home said that Mrs. Nian was unwell and missed Lan'er very much.

So Nian Shilan walked gracefully to her master's study and waited outside the study for her master to return home after court.

When Yinzhen returned to the study, he saw Nian Shilan wearing a green embroidered spring gown, standing under the magnolia tree in the study yard. She was very beautiful.

Nian Shilan greeted her mother and went into the study, where she said that her mother was ill and that as a daughter she was unable to take care of her and was very worried.

"In that case, let's go and tell Mrs. Fujin. Let's go back in the afternoon. I will go with you to see your mother."

Nian Shilan was very happy to see Yinzhen nodded.
