Mu Huagui

Chapter 107 Weird

"Otherwise, if you want to kill the grandson of the old man, what about your own grandson." The old lady remembered what the lady said here before Mrs. Du came.

If it wasn't for the old lady who took her identity and suppressed her, she wouldn't be allowed to speak.I'm afraid the Du family and the Chen family have become enemies at this moment.

The two sisters were taken back to the mansion by the Elder Master on the same day, and for this matter, they went to Jinhua Residence to say hello to the old lady.

The two sisters, Lianxing and Liyue, were born as kabukis in brothels, so they cannot be concubines according to the law.But the Elder Master doted on them for more than two years, and finally took them into the mansion, so how could he be willing to send them away after giving birth.Naturally, it was concealed from this matter, and it was only said that it was a friend's domestic slave who was transferred to him.

The second lady couldn't help it, and complained to the second master again, "There is a bit of a big brother and sister-in-law there, and she knows to cause trouble, and when they cause trouble, others will clean up for them, and they will take it for granted. It made us Qishan come to Ning's house." be looked down upon.”

"Have you seen those two women? They are really house slaves." The second master was in the Metropolitan Procuratorate and was sensitive to such things, and asked.

"Why didn't I see, Ai Lianxing and Ai Lianyue, that appearance and figure are really embarrassing to the bone. The master asked what they were doing, could it be..." The second lady glanced over with slightly threatening eyes.

"Ma'am, don't be joking. When I'm old, my daughter-in-law is married, and the person who is waiting to have a grandson still has that kind of thought. I'm just worried that if it's not a good family, the reputation of our Chen family will be ruined." Although it is not a serious crime for a first-class actress to take her home as a concubine.But in the eyes of outsiders, it must be a matter of bad family tradition and ruined reputation.

"This..." The second lady frowned, "I feel that these two people really don't look like a good family."

"I'll find a way to persuade my elder brother." Chen Deming didn't want to meddle in his elder brother's affairs at all, but as the imperial censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, if he knew about it and didn't report it, he would be caught in the future.

Chen Deming felt that the elder brother already had two sons and grandsons.Why should you care about the son of a girl who is an actress, if you don't sell it off, that's fine.It will be dug out in the future, and there will be no articles to do.

Chen Desheng was not only ungrateful, but also furious, and the result of the conversation was that they broke up unhappy.

Du Huiniang is the happiest person in the family recently. The mother-in-law is now spending time with the two aunts, so she has no time to take care of her.And Chen Zian has also changed recently, he likes to run home, and hasn't stayed in a foreign house for a long time.

Although he was still very indifferent to her, at least he didn't just ignore her like before, and he also loved reading. He stayed in the study room day and night, working hard like a different person.

"Enter the palace to face the saint, what's the matter?" Chen Jiao'er was taken into the palace by Zhou Mingyuan early in the morning, and she is still confused until now.

"I'll know when I get there, I can still sell you." Zhou Mingyuan looked around and said with a smile.

Chen Jiao'er shut her mouth wisely, not even revealing to the people around her, it must be a very secret matter.Licorice was the one who followed her into the palace, and she originally wanted to bring cherries, but that girl got into an awkward situation with Chen Daren for some reason, and her eyes were as red as rabbits when she woke up in the morning.Seeing her in a trance, he didn't take her into the palace.

In the Wenhua Palace, Emperor Tianqi stood high above, looking at a painting on the table with fascination.Zhou Mingyuan only brought Chen Jiao'er along, leaving the others outside.

"You guys are here, come and have a look." Emperor Tianqi greeted them to come forward.

"Huh." When Chen Jiao'er saw it, was this a painting from his mother's dowry that Zhou Mingyuan took away when he was in Linqing last time?It was Zhou Mingyuan who told her that the drawing was the architectural drawing of the palace.

"Mingyuan, it's up to you." Emperor Tianqi glanced at Chen Jiao'er and said to Zhou Mingyuan.

"Well, this is a picture found in Mrs. Chen's dowry. It should be drawn by Master Chen. It is the architectural drawing of the palace. These may be clues to the edict." Zhou Mingyuan looked at the three of them, There was no one in the Wenhua Palace, and the tone could not help lowering.

"What they are looking for is the will." It turned out to be like this, no wonder they paid such a high price to kill their family, bought a mansion, and demanded their mother's dowry, just to find the will.

"What else do you know?" Emperor Tianqi's voice was a little cold.

"Master Chen got the last emperor's edict, and this edict must be harmful to some people. So Mr. Chen's family died because of this incident. And the edict is gone, right?" Chen Jiaoer held back her tears, My family, as well as my unborn younger brother, lost their lives because of such a thing.

"This edict should be aimed at King Xianjun." Zhou Mingyuan felt her emotional fluctuations. He didn't want the emperor to have a bad opinion of her, so he sneaked in from his sleeve and held her hand.

Feeling his warm temperature, Chen Jiao'er tried to calm down her emotions. "Is there anything else in your collection?"

"It's all here." Zhou Mingyuan held up a box that the hidden guards took out from Chen Desheng's outer house.The contents inside were exactly from the batch of belongings that followed Chen Jiao'er to Beijing.

Chen Jiao'er opened them up and checked them one by one, and found that they were all paintings or books.After a while, he frowned slightly and said, "There should be a picture of Guanyin delivering a child."

The Avalokitesvara of Sending a Child was drawn by the father himself. After the painting was finished, it was hung in the mother's bedroom, and it was said to be a gift for the unborn child.She remembered very clearly that the nanny took this picture and put it in a box, saying that she would bring it to the capital.

Emperor Tianqi glanced at Zhou Mingyuan, "Check."

"Yes." Zhou Mingyuan answered extremely quickly. It seems that such things are often done, Chen Jiao'er thought to himself.

"Is there anything interesting today?" Zhou Mingyuan pointed at the memorial on the desk, teasing.

"Lian said there was a lot of wind today, so it was you who blew it up here, good job." Emperor Tianqi smiled and threw out a few memorials.

Zhou Mingyuan grabbed it unceremoniously, and after looking it over, he smiled and said, "Everyone says that the censor of this dynasty has a pen peak like a knife peak. In my opinion, it is more blood-sealed than the Lu family's poison."

Looking at Chen Jiao'er's questioning eyes, Zhou Mingyuan said, "Chen Desheng took prostitutes as his concubines, embezzled and collected money while in office, and dug out Lin Da and Li Dafeng's life experiences with a good nose, saying that the death of Miss Chen was the envoy of Chen Desheng." .”

Chen Jiao'er smiled slightly, and looked at Zhou Mingyuan gratefully. She could cause trouble, or one or two censors would hear the wind and play.But like this, it can only be Zhou Mingyuan's handwriting that the officials go against him in a frenzy.

The emperor still had something to discuss with Zhou Mingyuan, so he called someone to send Chen Jiao'er out of the palace.Chen Jiao'er laughed and said, "It's rare to go to the palace, I want to go and ask the Empress Dowager to say goodbye, so I don't bother you."

He came out of the Cixin Hall with licorice, and was about to leave the palace gate and go back to the mansion, but he saw a young eunuch following him from a distance, stepped forward and saluted, "Miss Chen, Miss Chen would like to invite you to go over and tell me, I wonder if you are free?" .”

Chen Qiluo looked for her, Chen Jiao'er was a little strange, nodded and said, "Lead the way ahead."

The place where Chen Qiluo lived was a bit remote, but it looked like the decoration cost a lot of money. It is estimated that the Chen family didn't spend any money on her.The little eunuch notified the maid and asked her to go in to report, while he stayed by Chen Jiao'er's side.

After a while, Chen Qiluo came out of the house, dressed in palace attire with makeup and dark patterns embroidered with gold thread, and a full set of ruby ​​on her head, which was extremely gorgeous.Chen Jiao'er saluted briefly, "Beauty Chen is well."

Without waiting for her to speak, he got up by himself.But I shook my head in my heart. After so long, I still haven't made any progress.A beautiful dress, a few gorgeous jewelry, I don't know if I want to look down on others, or I am afraid that others will look down on her.

Seeing that Chen Jiao'er didn't care about her well-dressed attire, it occurred to her that it was rumored that the Lu family had collected rare treasures from all over the world for a hundred years, and what Guangjin dedicated to the emperor was already invaluable.

But Chen Qiluo thought of her own identity, and said with a straight face, "If you remember the grace of the Chen family, you shouldn't provoke the Chen family again, otherwise, if I say something casually in front of the emperor, your Lu family will be overwhelmed." .”

Chen Jiao'er's eyes widened in surprise. Chen Meiren was not favored by the emperor, and she often couldn't receive a favor once a month. This was almost a well-known fact. It seemed that she herself didn't realize it at all.

Standing beside Chen Qiluo, Hong Fu looked anxious, looked at Chen Jiao'er and then at his own young lady, but dared not say anything after all.

"I don't know what Chen Meiren is talking about, can you make it clear." Chen Jiao'er saw Hong Fu's face, felt a little preoccupied, and asked directly.

"Dong'er brought the child to the door, and the matter of those two actresses are all related to you. Others don't know, but I know it well. Although you are not old, you have a lot of scheming. Isn't it your forte that other people's homes are difficult to secure?" Chen Qiluo sat firmly, her face full of impatience.

"The beauty said that Jiao'er doesn't dare to take it. If there is nothing wrong, Jiao'er will leave." Seeing that she was becoming more and more unreasonable, Chen Jiao'er didn't even bother to say anything, and stood up directly to leave.

"you dare……"

"Beauty, didn't the emperor say that he would come to see you in a while, do you want to go and redress your makeup?" Hong Fu saw that something was going to happen, so he could only stop him aloud.

"Ah, yes, the emperor is coming to see me, why didn't you tell me earlier, get ready to take a bath and change clothes." Chen Qiluo didn't look at Chen Jiao'er anymore, and lifted the curtain to enter the room.

The moment she lifted the curtain, Chen Jiao'er saw that hanging on the wall of the inner room was the picture of Avalokitesvara of Sending a Child drawn by her father.It turned out that she was sent to the palace by the eldest lady to Chen Qiluo.

Hong Fu sent Chen Jiaoer, master and servant, out, and looked at Licorice in embarrassment, Chen Jiaoer understood, and let Licorice follow far behind.Turning to Hong Fu, he said, "Now you can tell what happened to Beauty Chen."

"Miss has not been favored by the emperor since she entered the palace, and she doesn't get along well with other concubines and beauties. She has been plotted against several times, and she almost died several times." Hong Fu knew that time was running out, and said urgently.

I almost died a few times, I am afraid that I wanted to harm someone but was found out, and I was killed instead.Chen Jiaoer thought gloatingly.

"Later, the lady became more and more weird. She always said to herself that she was the most favored by the emperor, so other concubines were jealous of her. Please don't be offended, Miss Biao. Miss may be due to the lingering poison of the past, and she often appears Illusion." Hongfu sent her to the palace to serve the young lady after Chen Qiluo became a beauty.
