Chapter 240 Ending (1)

Do you want to take advantage of this matter of the Han family to go back and see the old lady?
Mrs. Sheng asked Dong Yuan if she had notified the Xue family, and seeing Dong Yuan was silent, she called her in a low voice: "Why, the Xue family won't send someone?"

She really missed it.

Dong Yuan hurriedly laughed and said: "That's not true. Maybe I haven't gone back to see my grandmother for a long time. If my grandmother hears about this, I'm afraid she will be sad. Her old man is about the same age as my grandmother. Hearing this sad news suddenly, I'm afraid she will feel sorry for her." Qi. So I was thinking, how to go to grandma and say this."

Dong Yuan's explanation made Mrs. Sheng have no doubts.

Not to mention the old lady's age, but at Madam Sheng's age, if she happens to hear someone of the same age take a step first, her heart trembles, fearing that it will be her turn next.

Mrs. Sheng is a generation younger than the old lady.

So Dong Yuan's consideration is not unreasonable.

"The old lady is in good health, and she is blessed with a long life." Madam Sheng comforted Dong Yuan with a smile, "Your aunt must have sent someone to tell you. I will ask the steward to ask. You have a big belly now, so you should not go out. It's..."

Dong Yuan thought for a while, and finally nodded and agreed.

She still doesn't really want to go back to Zhenxianhou's Mansion.

When Fifth Sister comes back, she must go back and have a look at it, Dong Yuan thinks it's better to wait until then to talk about it.

Unexpectedly, in the afternoon, the old lady sent her mother to visit Dong Yuan, and brought Dong Yuan a lot of supplements and medicinal materials, as well as some exquisite cloth and snacks, which she knew were rewarded by the palace.

Mother Zhan, who is the most powerful around the old lady, is getting old, and the old lady doesn't often send her out now.The one who came to see Dong Yuan now was Lu's mother, about 40 years old, with a fair appearance, and when she smiled, there were dimples on her cheeks. She looked very charitable, which made people feel good.

Her shrewd eyes reveal a bit of clarity, which won't make people feel uncomfortable, and won't make people look down upon, she looks like a servant of a rich family.She bowed to Dong Yuan, looked at Dong Yuan's big belly, and said with a smile: "Grandma Jiugu is so lucky, this baby must be a young master."

Dong Yuan smiled, and chatted with her: "I hope it's a girl. Mom doesn't know, Brother Cheng is very naughty. Be nice, girl..."

"That's Master Cheng Jianlang." Mama Lu hurriedly interjected, "Which young master was not naughty when he was young? The old lady always talks about it, and will take Master Cheng back to show the old lady..."

Dong Yuan said yes, and took advantage of the situation and asked: "Are grandpa and grandma okay? I am pregnant now, and I was taking care of the eldest son a few days ago, so I never went back to pay my respects to my grandparents."

Mother Lu smiled and said, "It's all good. This time, the old madam asked the servants to visit Grandma Jiugu. In addition to bringing some food to Grandma Jiugu, she also asked Grandma Jiugu if the mansion sent someone to Anqing Mansion?"

Sure enough, this is the question.

Dong Yuan said: "I'm planning to go and talk to my grandmother in person tomorrow. Our mansion also sends a steward. I don't know what's going on at home? If we also assign a steward, we can go together and have someone to take care of me on the way."

"Your maidservant is here to say that, Grandma Jiugu thought it through." Mother Lu hurriedly praised Dong Yuan, "When the old lady came, she also said that Grandma Jiugu is a double-bodied person, and it's hot weather, so don't Go out, so as not to scare the child. Since the mansion also sent people, the slaves will go back to the old lady..."

This mother has never had any impression before.

Seeing her eloquence, it's not bad.

"The old lady also asked, is Aunt Xue still in the house?" Mama Lu suddenly changed her voice and asked about Xue Jiang's late arrival.

Xue Jiangwan once listened to the words of the second aunt Lin who was next to Sheng Changhou, and thought of conceiving by magic, making her body empty.

More than ten days after her childhood, she suddenly saw red, frightened Xue Jiangwan half to death, crying and fussing, saying that Dong Yuan insisted on asking the imperial physician, which frightened the Bodhisattva, who took the child back.

Dong Yuan was very helpless, so she had to ask her maids to serve Xue Jiangwan well.

From then on, every time Xue Jiangwan saw Dong Yuan, he would pounce on him like crazy and scold Dong Yuan all day long in the mansion.

Sheng Xiuyi wanted to send her out.Dong Yuan thought that she was so emotionally unstable now, she should be raised in the mansion.Sending it out now, her medicine is not guaranteed, and she has a mental problem, and she may really go crazy from then on.

This incident later reached the ears of Sheng Changhou.After Sheng Changhou inquired about it, he realized that it was Lin's second aunt who was causing trouble.Sheng Changhou didn't ask why, and sent Second Aunt Lin out directly.Within three days, Second Aunt Lin died in the family temple.

The death of Aunt Lin's second terrified Xue Jiangwan immediately.

She went crazy.

Two of the aunts in Sheng Xiuyi's room went crazy within two years, one was kicked out, and one bastard died.The news leaked out from nowhere, and Dong Yuan's reputation as a shrew and poisonous woman spread throughout the capital.

Everyone said that Xue Dongyuan had a vicious face but a vicious heart.After hearing this, the men began to smear Dong Yuan, saying that she was not beautiful, but that the rumors were wrong.

Mrs. Sheng also listened to it, and found it inexplicable, and she was not worth it for Dong Yuan.

But because the empress is Dong Yuan's cousin, the rumors are private, and no one dares to gossip publicly.

Fortunately, Dong Yuan was pregnant and Sheng Xiuyi was injured, so she always had legitimate reasons not to attend any banquets, but she also avoided everyone's eyes.

Today, those rumors fade away.In addition, it has nothing to do with oneself, who is free to worry about other people's trivial matters all day long?And none of these things have been proven.

Who can tell what happened in the inner house?
But Xue Jiang was still in the mansion at night, taking medicine every day, and his spirit gradually improved.There is nothing wrong with her body, but she is very mentally disturbed.

The old lady suddenly asked Mother Lu to ask her what she was doing?
"It's still being raised in the mansion, it's getting better, let grandma rest assured." Dong Yuan smiled and took a cup of tea to drink, not wanting to talk about this topic.

"That's the best." Lu's mother chuckled, "What the old lady means, if Aunt Xue is still not good, it's better to send it to the Zhuangzi in Huizhou. She came from the south, and the capital is not acclimatized. These demonic obstacles are entangled. It would be better to let her out..."

Dong Yuan's heart skipped a beat.

As for Xue Jiangwan, she had the idea of ​​giving it away.Then, Aunt Fan, can you also send it out?
Compared with Xue Jiang, Aunt Fan is just disheartened.There is nothing wrong with her spirit, the reason why she acts like that is only because her heart hurts badly.

As a daughter, she likes Danliu in the past and Ruxiang in the future.

Sheng Xiuyi hated this very much, and also blocked her thoughts, so that she could not see the hope of life.But if she was let out secretly, only saying that she was sick and wanted to recuperate, and no one was seen, it would be unnoticed.

Just like Sheng Changhou's two aunts, he said he would kill him if he said so, who said he was not?

Especially for the aunt who has no children, it will be easier to solve.If it weren't for the dignity of the wealthy family, it would be no problem to sell it.

"Since this is the case, I will discuss it with Shi Ziye..." Dong Yuan smiled, "Mom, shall I go back after eating?"

Then he called Xunfang, asked her to add some food to the kitchen, and left Mama Lu for dinner.

Mama Lu went back to Zhenxianhou's Mansion after eating, and told the old lady about seeing Dong Yuan.

The old lady only asked: "How is Grandma Jiu's face? What's wrong with bringing up family affairs?"

Lu's mother shook her head quickly: "Grandma Jiugu kept asking how the old Hou and you are doing. Is there anything wrong with that? If you asked your servant to explain, the servant girl told Grandma Jiugu. Grandma Jiugu only said that she wanted to discuss with Shiziye, but she didn't say much. .”

The old lady nodded slightly, and there was always a thorn in her heart.

She liked Dong Yuan the most in the past, so naturally she wished her well.

It's just that Sheng Xiuyi is too outrageous.Before his death, Emperor Yuanchang wanted to abolish the Grand Tutor and let his close ministers and bachelors form a cabinet to assist the government, but was refuted by Master Xue.

After the new emperor ascended the throne, the first thing he did was to form a cabinet.

Old Master Xue has nothing to disagree with, and he also thinks forming a cabinet is not a bad thing.

But what would others think?The new emperor formed a cabinet and made important use of civil servants, so those veteran officials who were born as generals naturally refused to accept it.The first one was that Shangshu of the Ministry of War was unhappy and tried to harm Sheng Xiuyi.

About this matter, the Minister of the Ministry of War first got through with Xue Laohou, who also felt that the new emperor was too naive, so he could teach him some lessons so that the new emperor could be more stable.

But you can't use the new emperor as a method, so you have to use Sheng Xiuyi to do it.

Hearing that Sheng Xiuyi was almost killed, Old Hou Xue also sighed.Although he didn't take the initiative to harm Sheng Xiuyi, he acquiesced to what his disciples did.

If Old Master Xue did not speak, Qin Shangshu of the Ministry of War would not dare.

In the final analysis, it was Old Master Xue who agreed to gain the upper hand.

Because of this incident, Old Master Xue often blamed himself, fearing that Dong Yuan would think too much and think that the Xue family was targeting the Sheng Mansion.The old lady laughed at the old master Hou: "Why is the old master Hou so restrictive? The government has always been like this. If sister Yuan can't understand this, she will be born in a family of powerful officials for nothing..."

Although comforting the old Hou Ye like this, why isn't the old lady worried in her heart?

These words are easy for others to hear, but when it is my turn, I am really hesitant and worry all the time.

If Sheng Xiuyi hadn't participated in the actions of the new emperor, he would have avoided a difficult situation.It was only his fault that he had thought too simply about court affairs, that he had suffered such a disaster.

It is also a warning to him, right?

Thinking about it, the old lady sighed again.

Just as I was thinking about it, a little maid ran in from outside: "Old Madam, Steward Ge is here..."

The old lady asked Ge Taoxiang to come in.

Ge Taoxiang entered the door with a joyful smile on his face: "Madam, it's a great joy. The father-in-law came to the palace to announce the decree. I asked the father-in-law. It's about our Fifth Miss..."

The fifth girl, Xue Dongrong, can return to Beijing. The old lady also heard about this matter from Master Hou yesterday.

She thought she would have to wait for a while, but she didn't think so soon?

The old lady was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly asked the maids to help change clothes, and went to the outer courtyard to receive the order.
