History of Empress Dowager Development

Chapter 194

When I went to Mei Shoutang to say hello the next day, the second lady's face was very ugly.Lin Lang pretended not to know, and when they left, she saw the second lady looking at her with resentment, and couldn't help laughing: "I discussed with the second master about what the second aunt said before, and Jinxiu couldn't leave, so I asked the second master I chose two people to send to the second uncle to make amends, and I heard that the second uncle is quite satisfied, so the second aunt won't blame me, right?"

The second wife said in a strange way: "Your second uncle has been boasting about your filial piety, how can I blame you. But the beauty is really precious, I would not come if I wanted her personally."

Where is the splendor and preciousness? It is clear that Linlang is protecting her weaknesses. Although the second wife is not a mother-in-law, she is an elder after all, so it is not easy for Linlang to talk back with such a few words.Later Chu Hanyi caught up and said with a smile: "This is my idea. Although Jinxiu is just a girl, after all, she is the person who serves Linlang and Mingzhi next to her. If she becomes a concubine for the second younger brother, she will make people laugh. It was sent by Mingzhi." I have also seen those two girls, they are stronger than Jinxiu."

She said this mercilessly, and the second lady's face immediately turned ugly, she sneered and said: "It's just asking for a maid, what's so bad about it. There is nothing to be reluctant to be with the elders."

The smile on Chu Hanyi's face remained unchanged, and he said casually: "It is always the elders who give gifts to the younger generation. There is no such thing as an uncle begging for a nephew's daughter-in-law's maid, not to mention that Jinxiu is a personal servant, no better than others. I heard that the father-in-law of the Lin family Begging the people around your daughter-in-law is a joke, but the second sibling thinks it's nothing?"

"Sister-in-law is just taking care of the housework, but she even manages this? Besides, what does the second master want to do, can I stop him?" The second wife became furious and blamed Xu Fengliang for all the reasons.

Chu Hanyi's face was not very good-looking, and he said coldly: "Of course I don't dare to take care of these things, but I just want to persuade my younger siblings for the sake of the reputation of the mansion."

The second master himself is not motivated, and he taught his son Xu Sheng to become a dude. Although this is Erfang's own business, but now that the family has not been separated, it is a shared honor and disgrace. Erfang's reputation is not good, and Chu Hanyi's face It doesn't look good either.It was not easy for her to intervene in the past, but now that the second room has brought her idea to her son, Chu Hanyi is naturally unhappy.

The second lady couldn't hold back her face, turned around and left, Chu Hanyi saw this kind of situation a lot, didn't care, and went back to Qingxintang.Once there, Chu Hanyi called Mama Feng, "How is it over there?"

"Second Madam was very angry, but she still kept those two girls." Mother Feng bowed and replied, "According to this old slave, the Second Madam must not really want to take concubines for the Second Master. It pissed her off."

"Of course she doesn't really want to take concubines, otherwise those people in the past wouldn't have died for no apparent reason." Chu Hanyi sneered, "Have you heard the news?"

Mother Feng said: "I found out. It is said that Shuangyan next to the Second Madam came up with the idea."

"Shuangyan?" Chu Hanyi frowned and thought for a while, "The one that the master brought over from Mobei before, and the second lady thought he was going there?" Mother Feng nodded in agreement, and Chu Hanyi frowned slightly.

That Shuangyan's father used to be the deputy head of a bodyguard agency in the north, but after the bodyguard agency disbanded, he followed Xu Fengxian. Because of his good skills and bravery, he became a small leader within a year or two.Originally, Shuangyan was also a decent girl, but in order to let her "see the world", his father actually sent her into the Xu residence to serve the old lady. Later, the second lady saw that Shuangyan was clever, so she wanted to go to her.Although she is also a servant girl who serves others, she is not a slave.

Mother Feng said: "It's that girl, she tried her best to encourage her in front of the Second Madam."

"The second lady actually agreed?"

"You also know that the Second Madam, if she can get Jinxiu to go there, if she has a headache in the future, you can push it to Jinxiu. I'm afraid he is bullying the Second Young Madam who just got married and wants to strike early."

Chu Hanyi sneered.There are only so many ways that the second lady can exchange, and she has already known it well after getting along for many years.But this Shuangyan... Ordinarily, Lin Lang just married not long ago, and Shuangyan should have never seen Jinxiu, but she tried her best to encourage the second wife. Could it be that the two have known each other for a long time?
She was in charge of the house, and when she had doubts in her heart, she didn't dare to let go, so she immediately said: "Go and check Jinxiu's life experience."

The master and servant are discussing here, and Lin Lang and Jin Xiu at the Shuangquan Pavilion are also frowning.Apparently what the second lady said that day, "Second Master fell in love with Jinxiu" was just an excuse. Judging from the facts, Xu Fengliang might not even know who Jinxiu was, so why did the second lady ask for Jinxiu?

Jinxiu was found by the Qin family when Linlang was four years old. At that time, Jinxiu was already nine years old and her skills were very good.In the past few years, she has always been by Lin Lang's side, and she has also come to Xu's house several times, but every time Lin Lang only visited the elders, and she followed behind, and the contact with the second lady was only limited to the time to pick up the San Han Wan.

If it were said that the Second Madam really fell in love with Jinxiu, Lin Lang would not believe it even if she was beaten to death.Is there another reason behind this?

Trying to think back, in her previous life, she had almost cut off contact with the Xu family after she went to Jiangnan. Later, Jinxiu was sent away by Mrs. Zhu's design. In Linlang's memory, Jinxiu and the second lady had no enmity at all.If it's someone close to the Second Madam... Lin Lang doesn't know anything about it.

Talking about this matter with Xu Lang at night, Xu Lang was also puzzled, but luckily the second lady didn't cause any disturbances, Xu Lang has been devastated by the Zhu family's affairs recently, so he didn't take this matter to heart, he just said: " I'll ask someone to check it later."

Of course, Lin Lang was also concerned about the affairs of the Zhu family, and when asked how things were going, Xu Lang briefly explained.A lot of people were involved in the case of the Wei family. Although the emperor dared not confess publicly, he should have sent someone to investigate the Zhu family in secret, and it was surprisingly peaceful there.But this was just Xu Lang's guess, because his people also found out that another group of people were investigating Zhu's house, but it was more hidden.

On Xu Lang's side, Lin Lang was robbed halfway last year. After Xu Lang's hidden guards discovered that nest of bandits, Xu Lang did not let go. There is a very hidden mine in Zhongwuli, and the cottage is actually connected to the mine!
Although Lin Lang didn't know much about mines, Xu Lang's explanation surprised her, "The output of the mine in one year is enough to supply the Mobei Army for three years. The strange thing is that it goes up to the court and down to the local government. Ya, no one knows about this!"

"So...the Zhu family is conspiring to rebel?" Lin Lang finally "reasonably speculated" to this conclusion.
