Mu Huagui

Chapter 168
"Think of a way to find out about Wanqian's whereabouts. No matter what, she needs to see her when she is alive, and her corpse when she dies. Even if she is gone, she can't be turned into a wandering ghost." Chen Jiao'er saw that the nanny hugged her. Brother Shun went down and mentioned it.

Zhang's mother's body has been found, and it can be said that it is terrible.His whole body was almost utterly ruined by knife and sword wounds, almost impossible to identify. If it wasn't for the jade bracelet on his hand to identify his identity, the corpse might not even be recognizable.

Zhou Mingyuan was silent for a while, "I searched several times along the way. She is so clever, maybe she is hiding somewhere, and she doesn't know what's going on outside. Maybe in a few days, she will come back by herself."

Both of them knew that this was almost impossible.Those thieves had all died on Lu Huo'er's Mie Shen San, and they didn't even have anyone to torture.The two ran together, and Zhang's mother was gone, so how far could she run.If alive, he should have returned by now.

The concubine has already buried Zhang's mother generously, needless to say bestowing gifts on the family, the children have also made the best arrangements.Wanxi's family members are gone, and the only thing that can be done is to find her body for a good burial.If I can't even help with this, I feel guilty just thinking about it.

Lei Shanhu has a lame leg, although the palace will definitely support him for the rest of his life, but anyone who becomes like this all of a sudden will feel bad.So Chen Jiao'er often sent Licorice to visit him, wanting to see what he wanted and do something for him, so that Chen Jiao'er could feel better.

"The lord just rewarded him with 1000 taels, and added his monthly silver. He arranged for someone to wait on him, and the guard Lei asked his servant to thank the concubine on his behalf. He said that he didn't need anything." Licorice came back, carrying an empty bag. said the food box.

"Hey, pay more attention to me, and report to me if you have anything." Mother Su went back to take care of Yingying for confinement, and Licorice became the most powerful maid beside Chen Jiao'er.Whatever happens, leave it to her.

The concubine and the prince really looked like they were taking care of themselves, and the family affairs were gradually handed over to Chen Jiao'er.From time to time, the old couple would take Brother Shun to live in Moyuan for two days, to tease and tease their grandson, or they would go hunting in the suburbs together on horseback.

When hunting, I will catch two live animals and bring them back, so that Brother Shun can take a look at them.However, Brother Shun was indifferent to rabbits and birds, but became deeply interested in the horse that the princess rode over.The princess tried to hold him on horseback and walked around.Brother Shun lay in the arms of the princess without moving, his eyes rolling.

The prince became interested, and trotted around with Brother Shun in his arms. Of course, before getting on the horse, the princess directly tied Brother Shun to the prince with strong and practical cloth strips, almost strangling the prince out of breath.As soon as the horse started to run, Brother Shun started giggling, and at the end of the run, he simply stretched out his little arm from the quilt with all his strength and waved it vigorously.The chubby legs were also kicking non-stop in the prince's arms, which really made the prince's stomach suffer a lot.

After getting off the horse, Brother Shun pouted. When he saw the horse being led away, he deflated his mouth and began to cry.The concubine was so distressed that she brought the horse back and hugged Brother Shun on the horse's back until he fell asleep on the horse before daring to leave.

When Zhou Mingyuan found out, he was a little dissatisfied and said, "This silly boy, my father never spoiled me like this when I was a child. I'm already several years old, and I was beaten by him whenever I wanted to ride a horse. It's fine now, my grandson is only a few months old. The two took turns hugging the horses and riding."

When Chen Jiao'er heard the words, she stretched out her hand to fan her nose, and Zhou Mingyuan sniffed it hard, "It's not smelly."

"Why not, I don't know where the vinegar jar was overturned, the whole room is so sour."

Zhou Mingyuan threw Chen Jiao'er onto the bed with a tiger pounce, stretched out his hand and scratched her, "I make you laugh at me, I make you laugh at me..."

"Hehe, please forgive me, my concubine will never dare again." Chen Jiao'er rolled into a ball on the bed, avoiding his "claws".

"Stop messing around." Chen Jiao'er shyly knocked off his paws stretched out to his chest.

Although she is already a wife and mother, she is still very shy about things between husband and wife.Seeing a red cloud fly up on her face, Zhou Mingyuan felt even more itchy, and his voice was hoarse with emotion.

Licorice was about to enter the door, but was stopped by Ruyi who was guarding the door. She didn't dare to speak loudly. Ruyi put her index finger between her lips and made a "shh" gesture.Licorice listened, and immediately blushed, nodded towards Ruyi, and retreated.

Ruyi and Shanhu had entered the palace a long time ago, doing rough work in the yard, and after Cherry left, they were slowly promoted to be third-class maids.

Knowing that the imperial concubine intends to favor them, Licorice often reminds them of one or two things. Although the two of them are ordinary in appearance, they can endure hardships, especially Ruyi, who is also smart, and can often draw inferences from one instance, but is getting more and more favored by the imperial concubine.

As for the original maid in the bamboo courtyard, Lianye was sent to the Zhuangzi because of an accident, and she probably won't be able to get ahead for the rest of her life.Wanqian's life and death are uncertain, and there are only two second-class maids left, one is Hongmei and the other is Yingxia.

Both of them are actively performing in front of Chen Jiao'er, trying to make a further step, at least to make the concubine Shizi care about it, so that they can have a good way out in the future.

At the beginning of the family, the marriage of the second young master Zhou Mingtang was pushed on the agenda by the prince.Zhou Mingtang was already 15 years old, and he had just accepted Chen Qilu as his concubine, so it was not too early to start talking about marriage.

In previous years, it would not be a big deal for the concubine of a county king to discuss marriage, at least it would not attract the attention of the rich and powerful.But now he is the freshly baked concubine son of the prince, and the eldest brother is Zhou Mingyuan, whom the emperor trusts most.

After the rebellion of King Xianjun, many former royal relatives and wealthy families began to decline, or gradually lost their favor.For these families, the second young master's marriage is the best bridge.

The prince and princess seldom go out to participate in any entertainment. Even when guests come to visit, the princess also depends on her mood.And the concubine Shizi has become the guest of honor for all kinds of entertainments. As soon as the marriage discussion was released, a lot of invitations were received.

"Look, he's even more sought-after than the eldest son." Of course, Chen Jiao'er was joking, how could a son who inherited the title of the family business not be as popular as a son of a bastard.It's just that, in Zhou Mingyuan back then, some people might still worry about whether his identity was qualified enough.

Today's Zhou Mingtang is a bastard after all, so he has less worries.Especially for some families, when they want to marry their prostitutes, they feel full of sincerity, and they are not afraid that the prince will not agree.

Licorice naturally didn't dare to answer the question, and just quietly waited for Shi Zifei to order.

For example, Princess Yonglong, who really wants to win back the emperor's heart, don't mention how regretful she is now.At the beginning, she wanted to stand in the middle, and neither side would be offended. No matter who gained power, she would not take a knife against her as a princess. After all, the royal family still wanted face.

Unexpectedly, the emperor returned to the capital with the power of thunder, and once the situation stabilized, he was the first to be liquidated.Even the people who interceded for her suffered a lot, which made her lose face.

She was the first to be demoted from a princess to a county king in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and she was regarded as a great shame.Not to mention, those flattering people in the past are now gone.Occasionally, she would like to ask the sisters she had been friends with to talk about, but she was shirked by countless reasons.

Yonglong has two sons and three daughters. The second son and one daughter are already married, and the remaining two daughters are quite young and are still around.If it wasn't for her daughter and Zhou Mingtang being separated by generations, she would probably want to marry her own daughter.

Fortunately Concubine Ning is also a child of a big family, and one or two unmarried girls in the clan who are suitable in age, seniority, and talent can still be found. He was taken to Fuchu by Yonglong.

It is said that it is to accompany the two daughters, but in fact, no one can guess why.No sooner, no later, as soon as Prince Dong said he wanted to discuss marriage with the concubine, she picked it up.

Holding the gift list, Chen Qishan was very depressed. Although the orphan girl who once lived in her home had a good marriage, she was also the eldest daughter-in-law at the beginning.The Princess Mansion is not as trusted by the emperor as the eldest son, but they are all relatives of the emperor anyway, and their status is not much worse than her.

But now, one is the father-in-law who has just been crowned prince, and Xianggong is the biggest celebrity around the emperor, and the other is the daughter-in-law of the county king who has just been deposed by the emperor at sunset.Chen Qishan didn't want to send this invitation at all, but her mother-in-law would not care about her face, not only asked her to send it to the Crown Princess herself, but also had to invite her to the mansion.

Of course, Chen Jiao'er couldn't see her, otherwise if word spread, those idle people outside wouldn't know what to say.They dare not talk about men, but judge women in private, but they are more mean than one.

"Fourth sister is a rare visitor. I don't know why the county king suddenly thought of organizing a plum appreciation poetry party. I am a vulgar person, so I don't know any poetry." This is the truth. Chen Jiao'er's education in her previous life was only eight years old. , I don’t know anything else, and later I learned a craft, but it’s also a cooking skill that can’t be put on the table.

Chen Jiao'er in this life also came to the Chen Mansion when she was a teenager, and she has a little bit more knowledge than Chen Jiao'er in the previous life. Of course, she also learned a craft later on, but the use of poison is even more out of the question.

Seeing that she used the old address, Chen Qishan felt a little more comfortable, and said, "Sister Jiao'er is joking, who dares to ask you to compose poems and lyrics? It's just that young people admire your demeanor and want you to be a judge." If you don't give me this face, my sister will never dare to enter the gate of your mansion again."

Licorice thought to herself, who cares about your visits, that visit will not do any good.

"Hehe, my sister was joking. I wish you would come to the house more. The palace is too deserted. Last time the fourth wife brought Qilu to the door, we had an extra family." Chen Jiao'er smiled lightly. He thought she would lose face in front of him.

Did she think that she didn't remember what happened before?She has never apologized or felt guilty, why should she forgive.If it wasn't for this irresistible relationship, how could she give her a good face.
