Sheng Chong Concubine

Chapter 586 Taking over the Handfeeding, the Hou Mansion Comes (5)
This result was not surprising to Qiu Mingyue.

"Did grandfather know what happened yesterday?"

"Ah."

Chen Xiang nodded, "The old lady knew about it yesterday afternoon, and asked the old lady to prepare the dowry for the second young lady and the third young lady, and discuss the wedding date when the people from the Hou's mansion come. He also ordered people to watch over the eldest lady and the sixth young lady, and not allow them to Go back home."

Qiu Mingyue was silent.

Chen Xiang said again: "Mrs. Xue Guohou's invitation has already been sent this morning, and she will be here in a while."

"Oh? It's really fast." Qiu Mingyue raised the corner of her mouth and said something in an unclear tone.

"You can't hurry up." Chen Xiang said: "Yesterday afternoon, the news about the Second Miss and the Third Miss was spread all over the capital. Although women are more victims of this kind of incident, the reputation of Yuhou's Mansion is not good. How can Mrs. Xue Guohou not be as good? What's more, the maidservant heard faintly from the old matriarch a few days ago that the rumors circulating in the capital for half a month seem to have something to do with Mrs. Xue Guohou. Yesterday, something like that happened again, and the Grand Master's Mansion also rejected Mrs. Xue Guohou's greeting letter. Mrs. Xue Guohou is helpless. She can't turn against the Qiu family because of a concubine. It is stated in the invitation letter that a matchmaker will come to the door at that time. Not less. Besides, for the sake of showing others, these regulations must not be less.”

"She will."

Qiu Mingyue passed through the door of the moon cave, with a hint of coldness on the corner of her mouth.

Chen Xiang sighed, "The old matriarch also knows this reason, but now the rumors from the outside world are too sharp, and they can say anything. It is inevitable that several other ladies in the mansion will be affected by it, so it is best to marry the second and third misses as soon as possible .”

"Did grandma say when will the second and third sisters get married?"

Qiu Mingyue thought, maybe this time she won't be able to wait until Qiu Mingxuan and Qiu Mingqi get married, the old lady will have to work hard to cover up her family's ugliness.

Chen Xiang said: "Taijun is waiting for Fifth Miss to discuss together."

"wait for me?"

Qiu Mingyue paused and continued, with an unknown smile on her lips.

"Isn't the second aunt ready? I heard that the third aunt is also able to go to the farm. There are many people in the whole mansion who can take care of things. I am a junior and I am not married yet. How can I do these things? Grandma really thinks highly of me."

There was a deep smile in Chen Xiang's eyes, "Fifth Miss's heart is like a mirror, there is only one person in charge, and she must be Fifth Miss."

Qiu Mingyue paused again, looked sideways at her, with a smile on her lips.

"Chen Xiang, I suddenly discovered that you are smarter than before."

Chen Xiang lowered her head and said, "Miss Fifth is absurd."

Qiu Mingyue withdrew her gaze, "Don't worry, I won't go back on what I promised you, so you don't have to worry."

Chen Xiang followed and said: "This servant can trust Miss Fifth, so she is not worried."

Qiu Mingyue didn't speak.

Chen Xiang glanced at her, and said softly: "Today, Muxiu, the eldest master, the second master, the third master, and the old master are all here, as well as the second lady and the third lady." She carefully looked at Qiu Mingyue's face, and said: "Fourth miss and The other young ladies and young masters are all there."

Qiu Mingyue didn't stop walking, and only gave a faint acknowledgment.

Chen Xiang carefully looked at her profile, but finally saw nothing unusual, so she didn't speak.Green kite and red calyx followed behind without saying a word.

A group of people soon came to Shou'an Courtyard, and sure enough, they saw a room full of people.Except for Shen Shi who had a shock yesterday and is now resting on the bed, Qiu Mingzhen and Qiu Mingyu who were grounded, and Qiu Mingshan whose biological mother died and cried a lot and was caught in the cold and is now lying on the bed.Everyone else came, even Qiu Mingrui.

Qiu Mingyue walked in, and before she could say hello to the old matriarch and the old matriarch, the old matriarch raised her hand and interrupted her.

"sit down."

Qiu Mingyue said 'yes', then sat aside, and glanced at the old lady's expression. Her expression was calm, and she was no longer as pale and lost as last night.Sitting beside him was the old man, still looking unfathomable.Down below are the great master, the second master, the third master, the second wife and the third wife.

The elder is still elegant and calm, but his brows are a bit worried, especially when he looks at her, his eyes are a little complicated.The second master lowered his head, keeping a low profile as usual, but Qiu Mingyue saw a kind of repressed determination from him.The third master, since he found out the true face of the third lady that day, his whole person has changed, and he is no longer absurd in women's sex. He is quite emaciated, but the blue under his eyes has gradually faded.

The second lady's face was still a little pale, presumably she had just recovered from a serious illness, but her eyes were still cold and arrogant.The third lady has been raising her for these days, and she is getting better, but her eyes are still a little cloudy, obviously her mind is still not clear.

For the others, Qiu Mingxuan kept his head down. When she came in, he looked up, expressionless, and then lowered his head again.Qiu Mingqi also lowered his head, seemingly in deep thought.Qiu Mingjin was no different from Qiu Mingxi, she just sat there bored, didn't speak, and didn't even look at her.Qiu Mingrui sat under the two of them and winked at her.

Qiu Mingzhu looked up when she came in, her eyes were complicated.Qiu Mingyue didn't look at her. She knew that the two of them would never go back to the scene where they sat in front of the courtyard and discussed poetry and prose, so she couldn't help feeling a little melancholy and depressed.

Qiu Mingrong and Qiu Mingyun sat under her, and smiled at her friendly, she also nodded and smiled at them, and stopped talking.

The old lady looked at the crowd and spoke.

"I called everyone here today because I have something to announce."

Everyone held their breath, waiting for the old lady's next words.

Qiu Mingyue took a teacup and sipped tea without looking at the old lady.

"You must have heard about what happened yesterday."

The old matriarch sighed, "Yufang and Minglan have both gone to the ancestral temple." She paused, looking at the crowd, many of them inevitably had some doubts in their hearts.They only knew that the eldest lady and the sixth lady were imprisoned in the ancestral temple, and they were afraid that they would not be able to return in a short time.But they don't know the reason.Of course, they all heard about what happened in Zhennan Palace yesterday.But that's not enough to make Da Furen imprisoned in the ancestral temple.So there must be something hidden about this matter.Everyone opened their eyes wide, looking at the old lady curiously, expecting her to tell the truth.

The old matriarch did not intend to continue this topic, "Aunt Li and Aunt Yun murdered the son in Aunt Shen's womb, and he also died."

After the voice fell, the whole room fell into silence, and everyone could hear their breathing.

Qiu Mingyue shook the tea in the cup, her eyes were cool and clear.

The old matriarch took a deep breath, "In the past, Yufang was the one who took care of the Zhongfu in the mansion, but now that she has gone to the ancestral temple, the power of Zhongfu must be entrusted to another person."

The second lady's face was indifferent, and the cloudy eyes of the third lady seemed to light up for a moment, then faded away again.
