Houmen Yixiang

Chapter 22

At this time, a person was sitting on a stone bench under the plane tree in the courtyard next door. The night was covering his whole body, his facial features could not be seen clearly, only a pair of glazed eyes shone inexplicably in the darkness.

After a while, he got up and went back to the room.

-

Jiang lay down on the couch with a weary look, two plans failed in succession, and he listened to the flattery all afternoon, feeling panicked, and waved for Zhou Mama, Chuntao, and the others to go down and wait for Lord Hou to come back.

At the gate of the courtyard, Mrs. Wang came quietly from a distance, "Aunt Zhou, there is still a lot of good wine left for the banquet in the backyard today, let's try it together?"

Nanny Zhou didn't have any other hobbies, she was fond of drinking in her life, and when she heard that the wine bug was aroused, she swallowed hard.

"I'm on an errand today, and I'm waiting for Lord Hou here." Nanny Zhou resisted her refusal, "Save some for me, and give it to me tomorrow."

Gongrou's mother, Aunt Qin, lived in Qiushuiyuan. If she came back from outside, if she wanted to go to Qiushuiyuan, she had to pass through Haitangyuan.

As long as Gong Xuan returns late, the Jiang family will send someone to guard here late at night to prevent Gong Xuan from going to Aunt Qin.

"It's not that you don't know, how strict is that bitch Kang who controls the kitchen? The cook Zhang who is on duty tonight is my fellow villager. I talked to her before agreeing to let me drink some secretly tonight, but if I take it, I will definitely No way."

Wang Pozi said: "Ask Chuntao to replace you! If you are too embarrassed to tell, I am her distant aunt, so I will tell you."

After Jiang fell asleep for a while, she woke up to find that the room was dark and quiet, and Gong Xuan hadn't come back.

Her eyelids twitched, vaguely feeling that something bad was about to happen.

"Nurse Zhou, Chuntao!"

No one should answer.

"One and two, where did they all go?"

Jiang got up and went to the courtyard, and called out twice, "Nurse Zhou, Chuntao, Chunxing!"

Chuntao at the gate of the courtyard heard the call and hurried over, "Ma'am, what are your orders?"

"Where did everyone go?" Jiang asked unhappily.

"Ma'am, the old lady has the kitchen off tonight, the inner courtyard is short of manpower, Chun Xing and the others are going to help."

She didn't dare to say that Nanny Zhou went to steal wine.

Jiang's face softened, "Master Hou hasn't come back yet?"

"No."

Jiang frowned, "What time is it?"

"It's been a while since Haishi."

"It's so late, Master Hou hasn't come back yet?"

Did something happen while drinking, or...

Jiang asked sharply, "Chuntao, have you ever left the gate of this courtyard?"

Chuntao was startled, and plopped on the ground, "Ma'am, just now Si Yu said that there are not enough people, and the slaves left for a while when they went to call for help."

"follow me!"

Jiang came to Aunt Qin's yard angrily.

"My concubine has met my sister before." Seeing this situation, Aunt Qin raised her mouth mockingly, to arrest someone?Unfortunately, I came to the wrong place!

Jiang Min, no matter what precautions you take, this man will always find a chance if he wants to steal!

"Where's Master Hou?" Jiang asked directly with a sullen face.

"This concubine should ask my sister. I haven't seen Lord Hou for almost a month." Aunt Qin said quietly, her tone sounded quite sad, but the gloating was quite obvious.

Jiang was extremely angry, "Stop playing tricks on me! Chuntao, search for me!"

"Yes, ma'am!"

After a while, there was a crackling sound from inside.

The big maid next to Aunt Qin was so angry that she wanted to reason, but was stopped by Aunt Qin.

The Qiushui courtyard is not big, and the main house is even less, so the search was quickly exhausted.

Chuntao came out and shook her head.

"Let's go!" Mrs. Jiang didn't want to see the sneer on Aunt Qin's face, but wanted to catch Gong Xuan quickly, turned her head and left.

"Sister, go slowly, I won't give you away!" Aunt Qin raised her voice from behind, her beautiful voice pierced Jiang's head with sudden pain.

"Auntie, madam is too much!" Ban Yan blushed, "You are the aunt of Lord Hou, and it is only natural for Lord Hou to come here. Why does madam come here to arrest people?"

"I used to be angry too, but now, everything is taken lightly. Lord Hou is weak, and he was tortured to death by his wife, so what if he comes to my yard occasionally? Why don't we just shrink our heads and act like a turtle when something happens?! Me , now I have no other hopes, I only hope that the third lady can be a good family, and I have nothing else to ask for!"

"But the madam has been slow to say goodbye to the second miss, and if the second miss doesn't say anything, when will it be the third miss's turn?"

"I'll figure it out myself!"

After leaving Qiushuiyuan, Jiang Shi took Chuntao to the courtyard where Gongxuan specially catered for guests.

Sometimes Gong Xuan will rest there when there are too many official duties, or if he is angry with the Jiang family.

Not long after entering the courtyard, the exaggerated and ambiguous groans of men and women pierced Jiang's chest like a sharp knife.

She flickered, and Chuntao quickly supported her, "Go and kick the door open for me, I want to see which little bitch dares to rob me of a man!"

"Yes, ma'am."

Chuntao closed her eyes and kicked hard at the door.

The door was ajar and opened easily.

Gong Xuanhou was so anxious that he didn't even close the door.

"Ah! Lord Hou, I am afraid~" The naked Bingqiao hid in Gong Xuan's arms coquettishly.

Gong Xuan, who had tasted the sweetness, did not coax her like before, "Don't be afraid, I will protect you", but pushed her away vigorously, and said with a sneer at Jiang: "Madam, you are here..."

Jiang forced himself to calm down, "Tell me, when did you hook up?"

"Just now, I drank too much... I was obsessed with ghosts for a while..."

Half an hour ago, Gong Xuan returned to the Haitang courtyard with a little drunk, saw no one at the door, remembered that he hadn't been to Aunt Qin's place for a long time, his heart moved, and he walked forward.

After walking a few steps, his eyes suddenly brightened.

I saw a woman with a pure and charming face, making a wish to the star devoutly.

Wearing a light blue skirt with a royal blue skirt, a few blooming summer lotuses are painted on the skirt. Under the starlight, it looks like a lotus fairy descending from the mortal world, beautiful and refined.

Gong Xuan couldn't help but stare dumbfounded.

The Feng family doesn't like having many concubines in the family, and the Jiang family is strict with him. He hasn't tasted other women for a long time.

He swallowed, and involuntarily took two steps forward. He stepped on a dead branch, and with a click, the fairy was awakened.

The woman opened her eyes, and the elegant moonlight was reflected in the autumn pupils of Jianshui, as if reflected on the sparkling lake surface on a moonlit night.

She nodded shyly, revealing her snow-white and graceful neck, and her voice was so soft that she could drip water, "My servant Bingqiao met Lord Hou."

The evil fire in Gong Xuan's lower abdomen was burning fiercely, his eyes radiated a scorching light, and with the momentum of winning, he walked towards Bingqiao and hugged her in his arms.

"Master Hou, don't, I was seen by my wife..." Bingqiao blushed with embarrassment, her watery eyes rolled, she wanted to greet but refused.

Gong Xuan's fiery lips pressed against Bingqiao's delicate face, steaming from his mouth, "Follow Ben Hou, Ben Hou promises you the position of aunt."

...

"Ma'am, this Marquis has a terrible headache, I'm going to rest first." Gong Xuan licked his face and laughed, and slipped away seeing the opportunity.

"Hou Ye~" Bingqiao was on the verge of crying, she couldn't believe that the man who was talking sweetly just now left her behind in a blink of an eye.

Facing Shangjiang's eyes full of fierce storms, Bingqiao didn't care about being naked, knelt on the bed, and cried, "Madam, spare me!"

...

When eating in the morning, Mother Lu talked about what happened last night: "Nurse Zhou was slapped [-] times for being greedy for drinking, and Chuntao didn't have a high awareness of prevention, so she was deducted three months' money. The outsider was beaten to death on the spot, and Mrs. Wang ignored the rules to steal wine and was kicked out of the mansion! As for Bingqiao, the lady was going to be maimed on the spot and sold into the lowest brothel, but Bingqiao argued that she belonged to the old lady. It should be the old lady's punishment, and maybe she is pregnant with Lord Hou's child in her stomach, she deserves a life, but the child in her stomach is a lump of gold, and no one can move it!"

Xiao He seemed to understand but half understood, "Then what happened after that?"

"I heard that the madam was so angry that she wanted to burn the yard with a torch, but when she heard Bingqiao say that, she calmed down immediately. What's more, the madam ordered Bingqiao to be placed in a good place, and the doctor will take a pulse after a month. !"

Lu Xinyan raised her eyebrows slightly, she was quite surprised by Bingqiao's quick wit and Jiang's handling.

The Jiang family repeatedly harmed her reputation, and wanted to divorce her with the "prostitution" of the seven outs, so as to occupy her huge dowry.

But she didn't expect that the Jiang family would be so frenzied that he wanted to put Feng's family to death for fear of Feng's disapproval!

He was also afraid that Feng Shi would die first, Lu Xinyan would keep his filial piety and not go out, and Jiang would not find a chance to frame her again, so he called Dr. Li over early this morning, temporarily suspended Feng Shi's life, and then made a decision later!
But Mrs. Jiang was unwilling to think about it, so she made holes in her clothes and beheaded Grandma Sun, the most loyal lord beside Mrs. Feng.

It will be easier to harm her and Feng Shi at the same time in the future.
