Sheng Chong Concubine

Chapter 42 It's her (2)
In the house, one stands and one sits, one master and one servant.The standing man in black was reporting something to the man in Chinese clothes sitting by the window.

"...Range drunk was stolen, Mrs. Lin was furious, and broke all the porcelain in the house..."

"Ah!"

A chuckle came from the window.Leng Xiu was startled, his eyes not without shock.Since that incident, Shizi has never laughed again, but today——

The man in the wheelchair was dressed in Tsinghua University, and the moon was shining at night, his handsome and picturesque eyebrows were slightly softened, and even the corners of his mouth that were cold at that moment seemed to soften a little.

"Leng Xiu, I suddenly discovered that this withered life is not so dirty and ugly."

"My son..." Leng Xiu hesitated to speak, his eyes flickered with worry.

Feng Qingli raised her head, her eyes were desolate with a hint of brilliance, and the corners of her mouth were slightly curved with a smile.

"At least, there are such interesting people, aren't there?"

Leng Xiu's eyes showed surprise, and he seemed to understand something.

"My son, you..." He stared at Feng Qingli's back, under the backlight, he saw the young man lowered his head slightly, and seemed to be playing with something with his left hand.Even if he didn't see his facial expression, Leng Xiu could feel it.Your Majesty, you seem very happy?
"Isn't my mother going to marry a wife for me? Then, let her be." An understatement, but it changed the lives of the two of them.

Leng Xiu was a little surprised, but he heard Feng Qingli say: "It's gold, it will always shine. I really want to know how capable she is." He pursed his lips slightly and said something in a low voice.

"I am looking forward……"

"My lord, do you want to..."

Feng Qingli moved her fingers slightly, and something was hidden in her sleeve.He looked up at the cold moonlight outside the window, his voice returned to indifference.

"Enter the palace tomorrow."

Leng Xiu lowered his head and nodded, "Yes"

Facing the moonlight, Feng Qingli's eyes were unpredictable.

Without the mediation of the imperial grandmother, he was very curious what she would do.

At this time, Qiu Mingyue didn't even know that she was no longer counted.Today was the first battle with the eldest lady. She was in a good mood and slept until dawn.

As soon as it was dawn, she let the servant girl take care of her grooming.

"Take out the marigolds I picked in the yard yesterday, wait for the sun to come out, and then take them out to dry."

Hong E was dressing her up, she was taken aback when she heard this.

"Drying chrysanthemums?"

"En." Qiu Mingyue only responded lightly without explaining.

Hong E cleverly closed her mouth and continued to comb her hair.

"Yes." She paused, and then hesitated: "Miss, there are only servants and Xia Tong in Xueyue Pavilion, and there are two maids who clean up and serve the lady in the future. In terms of manpower... In fact, if only It's enough to serve the young lady alone. It's just that the Xueyue Pavilion is not big, and it's not small. Then no one did it. Of course, it’s okay for the servants to do menial jobs since they were young. I’m just afraid that if things go on like this, Miss will inevitably be negligent. There are many people in the house, and the eldest lady... the slaves are worried..."

"Worried about her making trouble for me?" Qiu Mingyue flashed a smile.

Hong E pursed her lips, "Miss is so smart, Da Furen has nothing to do even if she wants to find fault, but..." She paused, and then said: "Although Miss San is grounded now, there is still Miss Six. The Da Furen has always been arrogant and vicious, so it is inevitable that she will hate Miss because of it."

"She has hated me since I was not even born."

After combing her hair, Qiu Mingyu casually took a hosta hairpin and pinned it on her head. She stood up, her voice was still indifferent, but a little colder.

She turned slightly and said, "Do you think Third Sister can really be confined for three months?"

Red calyx is silent.

Qiu Mingyue smiled slightly, "Mrs. Xue Guohou's letter of greeting has been sent to grandma yesterday, I'm afraid she should come here in a few days." She paused, her eyes were meaningful.

"After all, it's time for the matchmaker to come to the house."

Hong E's eyes lit up, and just as she was about to speak, Xia Tong had already walked in.

"Miss, the old matriarch invited the matchmaker to choose maids for you, Aunt Shen and Fifth Young Master."

Hong E was a little surprised, "Miss, you are so accurate."

Qiu Mingyue only smiled faintly, "How much did you invite?"

Xia Tong had a smile on his face, "The slaves just took a look from a distance, there are at least fifty or sixty of them."

"Oh?" Qiu Mingyue raised her eyebrows.

Nanny Sun happened to open the curtain and walked in, upon hearing the words, she said, "Miss, I'm afraid that after what happened yesterday, the old matriarch is about to clear the house."

"It's not possible for the Qing government." Qiu Mingyue stroked the hair on her sideburns, and smiled softly.

"However, it is necessary to give the eldest lady a warning."

"Miss means..."

Qiu Mingyue's eyes were deep and far away, "Grandmother wants the family to be peaceful, but it is no longer a day or two for the eldest and second wife to fight for power. Judging from what happened yesterday, the second wife has many minions around the eldest lady. Grandma This is taking advantage of strength, misrepresenting the truth, relocating a new batch of maidservants, disturbing their sight, in exchange for a moment of peace." The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, as expected of an old matriarch, shrewd and cunning like a fox.

"A moment of peace?" Nanny Sun seemed to understand.

Qiu Mingyue glanced at her, "People's enthusiasm for rights is limitless, and grandma naturally knows that this move can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause."

"Since that's the case, why did the old lady bother to make such a fuss?" Sun Nanny asked again.

Qiu Mingyue has already walked towards the door, "The distinguished guests are coming, the Qiu family must not defeat themselves in front of outsiders."

Nanny Sun was silent for a while, and then her eyes showed surprise and worry.

"If that's the case, wouldn't the old lady also..." She didn't finish speaking, but she was as smart as Qiu Mingyue, and she already knew what she meant.Yesterday's action was so big, it seemed that Qiu Mingyue didn't intervene, but in fact, every step of the way was mysterious and calculating everywhere.How can a shrewd person like the old lady not be suspicious?It is precisely because of this that the old matriarch gave Qiu Mingyu a lighter punishment.After all, the old matriarch cared about her family style, even if she liked Qiu Mingyue again, she would not allow her to grow up and harm her sisters.Today's matter of choosing a maid, I'm afraid it's not that simple.

"The person arranged by grandma is better than the eyeliner of the eldest lady."

Nanny Sun remained silent, Miss was right, the old matriarch would never harm Miss.

"But Miss, in this way, wouldn't you have exposed your strength?"

Qiu Mingyue smiled faintly, "Only in the eyes of my grandmother, if this is my last ability, will she continue to protect me."

Nanny Sun was dumb, and then said: "But if this is the case, the old matriarch will definitely have a grudge against the young lady, isn't it against the original intention of the young lady?"

Qiu Mingyue's expression was calm and composed, "How can a dragon dive into the sea and keep his duty? If there are abnormal movements and the sea is calm, isn't there a monster?" People like the old matriarch are not easy to be fooled. , it would be better if I told her clearly that I am not a soft persimmon to be manipulated by others.She did it frankly and not concealed, so that the old lady felt that everything was under her control.That scheming idea is naturally dispensable.
