Sheng Chong Concubine

Chapter 572 Two imperial edicts, one arrow and four carvings (1)
Qiu Mingyue shook her head, feeling a little funny.When he came before, she bothered him.When he doesn't come, she misses him inexplicably.Really dazed.

As soon as he put his hand on his temple, he heard footsteps outside the door.

"Is it red calyx?"

"Miss."

Hong E walked in, followed by Xiang Fan.

Qiu Mingyue's eyes lingered on Xiang Fan for a moment, "What's the matter?"

Hong E said: "The second master wants to separate the family, the old master asked him why, but the second master didn't say anything, the old matriarch and the eldest master were very angry. But the second master has made up his mind and insists on separating the family. It's a mess. At that time, the third wife suddenly barged in, her expression was a little crazy, and she refused to let the family be separated. Later, the second wife and the young master also came, but the second wife didn't say anything, but the young master also agreed with the separation. I almost fainted, and the whole Shou'an Courtyard was in chaos immediately. The Eldest Master hastily sent for the government doctor, and after a while, the Old Madam woke up and scolded the Second Young Master for being unfilial."

She glanced at Qiu Mingyue's expression, and then said: "The second master was kneeling in front of the old matriarch's bed, and he still insisted on separating the family. The old master was worried that the old matriarch would get sick, so he called the second master and the eldest master away , stayed in the study all afternoon, and didn't come out until it was nearly You."

"and then?"

Qiu Mingyue thought, the scene must have been very chaotic at that time, otherwise the old lady would not have fainted from anger.

"The second master's face was a little pale when he came out, and he couldn't even stand firmly. It should be caused by kneeling for too long. The old man didn't object so much when he saw that he insisted. It's just that the old lady needs to nod. Okay. But the old matriarch was irritated today, I'm afraid I don't hesitate, let's talk about it in a few days, and let the second master go back. When the slaves and maids came back, they met the maid from the Qingxin Pavilion to report to the old matriarch, saying Aunt Yun is dead."

Qiu Mingyue didn't speak.

Hong E said again: "The old matriarch didn't respond, but ordered the burial to be done properly, and let Miss Nine move to Shou'an Yuan, with Miss Seven and Miss Eight as companions."

"Where are Da Furen and Sixth Sister? Are you leaving?"

Hong E nodded, "Before the second master came out of the study, the eldest lady and the sixth lady packed up their things and left the house, but the reason was to pray for blessings at the ancestral temple."

"How long did you say?"

"One year."

Qiu Mingyue lowered her eyes, and within a year, the child in Shen's womb was also born.

At this time, there were eager footsteps outside the door again, it was Dongxue.

"Miss, news came from Qinyuan that Aunt Shen was unwell after dinner. The old matriarch hurriedly took people there, and the doctor found that the sachet worn by Aunt Shen contained abortion medicine. The old matriarch was furious and ordered Thorough investigation."

Dongxue was out of breath, it could be seen that he came running.

"Aunt Shen said that the sachet was given by Aunt Li earlier. The old lady was furious and immediately called Aunt Li. Aunt Li said that the sachet was given to her by the Da Furen. When she gave it to Aunt Shen, I didn't know that the sachet contained strong medicine, so I complained."

"and then?"

Qiu Mingyue remained calm, thinking, the old matriarch has suffered so much stimulation today.Aunt Li was wronged, she might just be dumb and stupefied with Coptis chinensis, unable to express her suffering.

"The old matriarch was already angry this afternoon, and she saw that the child in Aunt Shen's womb was repeatedly persecuted. How can she argue? She didn't know, but she really gave the sachet to Aunt Shen. Now The eldest lady has already been imprisoned in the ancestral temple, and she is an accomplice. The old matriarch said that such a cruel person who killed the children of the Qiu family is not worthy of being a member of the Qiu family, so she was given poison and died."

Qiu Mingyue lowered her eyelashes as she looked at the white jade teacup on the table. The inscriptions were exquisite and the patterns were delicate and simple.Shaking her fingers slightly, the green tea in the cup faintly rippled under the candlelight.

"and then?"

Hong E said: "Aunt Shen used this incident to conduct a thorough investigation of Qinyuan, and caught several maidservants with malicious intentions. They all bowed their heads and pleaded guilty, and have already been executed."

Qiu Mingyue didn't move, her expression didn't change in any way.

"Where is the third sister?"

"After the third miss sent the eldest lady and the sixth miss away, someone sent a letter to the grand master's residence, and then locked herself in the room and did not come out. Even if there was such a big commotion in Qinyuan in the afternoon, she would not be moved."

"It's just a message to the Grand Master's Mansion? What about Zhongshan Bo's Mansion?"

Qiu Mingyue let go of her fingers and asked casually.

"Third Miss originally wanted to send a letter to the Eldest Miss, but it is said that the Eldest Miss has been very bored these days. She didn't want to cause the Eldest Miss any trouble, so she didn't do anything."

Qiu Mingyue thought about Xu Tianyu's words today, and Shangguan Mowen's rejection and hostility towards her at first, it seemed...

"Go and find out what happened to the Uncle Zhongshan's mansion tomorrow."

She stretched out her hand and rubbed her temples, "I'm afraid the days are not going well for my eldest sister, but now that my eldest lady is imprisoned in the ancestral temple again, I'm worried that she won't be able to bear it. By the way, send someone to ask Mrs. Zhongshan Uncle Shangguan Mowen about it." , she should know."

"Ah."

Red Calyx nodded in response.

Qiu Mingyue waved her hand, "Okay, you can go down."

Hong E glanced at Xiang Fan, said yes, and then retreated.

The bead curtain fell, and the room was suddenly silent.

Qiu Mingyue looked up at Xiang Fan who was standing in front of her with her head bowed, with a playful look on the corner of her mouth.

"You know martial arts?"

"meeting."

Xiangfan remained expressionless, and answered neither humble nor overbearing.

"How long have you been with your master?"

Qiu Mingyue thought, Feng Qingli is really capable, and it's not easy to even have a maid by her side.

Xiang Fan seemed to be taken aback for a moment, then immediately knelt down.

"My servant's future master is only you, Miss, and I have no other intentions."

Qiu Mingyue raised her eyebrows and smiled lightly.

"Get up."

Xiangfan stood up and stood aside.

"I need you to do something for me right now."

"Miss orders, servants will die forever."

"it is good."

Qiu Mingyue narrowed her eyes, "Since he asked you to come here, he must have told you about my situation."

Xiang Fan nodded, "Yes."

"My second aunt and elder brother know martial arts, and they're not bad. I'll ask you to go over and find out what they do. Can you do it?"

"Yes."

Xiang Fan replied sonorously, "This servant will definitely live up to Miss's drag."

Qiu Mingyue nodded in satisfaction, "You haven't eaten yet, so how about it, you go again when the time of Haishi arrives, be careful, don't let them find out."

"Yes."

Xiang Fan responded and walked out.

"Xiang Fan."

When she just stepped out of the door, Qiu Mingyue suddenly called her.Xiang Fan paused and turned around.
