concubines are respected

Chapter 80 A little peace
Seeing that there was no surprise on Suxian's face, Yanzi quickly said, "Second Miss, you thought of it too?"

"I've been confused these days. I almost forgot that Lin Yinglu's husband's family is a disciple of Uncle Guo. Among those who went to the banquet that night, apart from the palace attendants accompanying Concubine Yuan, only Lin Yinglu could have anything to do with the empress's people." Suxian's eyes were indifferent, and she spoke secretly.

"Yes, yes, Lord Hou said the same thing. The third lady's husband belongs to the uncle of the country, and the empress empress is the one who has the deepest grudge against imperial concubine Yuan in the palace. Lord Hou said that it must be empress empress through concubine Yuan. The opportunity to go back to her natal family, secretly instigated the third young lady to get rid of Xueying, the most powerful maidservant next to the imperial concubine, for her. It simply happened in Lin's mansion, and Xueying was hurt. Huang Lian is suffering."

Swallow ran back and forth, a little tired, and while talking, sat down on the side of the brocade couch, and continued, "However, this servant can't figure it out. The third lady is also from the Lin family, how can she help outsiders harm her own people?" , isn’t this deliberately throwing stones at your feet?”

"Hmph!" Suxian snorted coldly, "If she could argue right from wrong like this, she wouldn't have married herself to Mrs. Wu as a concubine just to hurt me that day. Lin Yinglu's temperament is just like the third aunt's. Just for the sake of short-term interests, playing tricks, but never knowing how to put the overall situation first! How could such a scum come out of the Lin family!"

"What the second lady said is that according to the servants, the third lady has long since considered herself a member of the Lin family. Think about it, she is now married to the Wu family, and Mr. Wu's main wife is not a good character to get along with. If If she doesn't try her best to please Master Wu, how can she gain a foothold. This matter can't be left as it is, she must pay the price." When Xiang Cao thought that Ye Suxian almost died that day, she wished she could skin Lin Yinglu bone.

"Hehe, I just figured it out now." Suxian was finally relieved, leaned back and leaned comfortably on the overlapping soft pillows on the brocade couch, and said slowly, "That day The empress must have ordered Lin Yinglu to deal with Xueying. After Xueying learned of the medicinal properties of the water magic poison, she deliberately used the trick of killing two birds with one stone, half-selling and half-giving me in. And Xia He, He must have obeyed Lin Yinglu's order to observe my whereabouts secretly, and once he finds out that I escaped from the water, he will go back and lead someone to take me as an 'assassin'! As for Eunuch Hai, hum!"

Suxian smiled coldly, with a look of disdain in her eyes, "Since they are all doing things for the queen, I decided to report back in front of Concubine Yuan, run errands to catch the assassin, and pick me up by the way. Sell a harmless favor to Mr. Wu, What's the matter."

"Yes, yes, what the second lady said is inseparable from what Master Hou said." Yanzi looked at Suxian with respect and respect, "If it wasn't for the slaves who ran by themselves, they would definitely think that you and Hou Ye Grandpa has discussed this in detail face to face. Could it be that this is what people often say about mutual understanding." Yanzi grinned, her eyes shining with a playful luster.

"Speech, stop talking nonsense." Suxian spat in a low voice, but two red clouds flew up on her face.

Yanzi smiled indifferently, and said, "Master Hou really cares about you. These days, in order to find out who harmed you, he has dealt with the people under the name of the third aunt one by one, and finally caught the third lady. Fox tail. But... but this matter is related to Uncle Guo, and there is no evidence in hand at the moment, Master Hou said that she can't touch her for the time being. Fortunately, I already know who is trying to harm you. The third lady is not in the mansion now. You can also sleep peacefully."

Suxian's heart warmed up, but a sad look flashed across her face, and she sighed softly, "Oh, Lin Yinglu is not the only one in the Lin Mansion who wants to harm me. It's probably just a wishful thinking to sit back and relax."

De Suxian said such words, Yanzi's smile was slightly suppressed, the master's words were true, apart from the old lady, there was no one in the mansion who really turned to her.It is not easy to seek safety in the mansion.

Although everyone was transparent, in order to comfort Suxian, Xiangcao said softly, "Second Miss, don't worry. We are no longer fighting alone like we were in Kangzhou City that day. Now that your cousin is here Helping in secret, and Master Hou defending in the open. I believe that the second lady will be able to survive all difficulties."

"It is said that when the servant left the Hou's mansion, Jinse, who was serving by the side of Lord Hou, said to the servant, that Lord Hou is very skillful. Since he already knows who the person who harmed you is, he will naturally do his best to kill him. Get rid of it. I heard that Lord Hou had already met the Third Prince the day before he sent us the letter. Presumably Lord Hou and the Third Prince have already had a dispute, but the time is not yet ripe, so we just kept our faces for the time being."

Yanzi reported to Suxian every bit of the trip, and when she thought of Jinse's words to her, she felt a lot better, "Jinse said, what the Marquis meant was that since he made a move, little fish and shrimp It's not rare, you have to catch a big fish!"

"Big fish?" Suxian murmured in a dark voice, then laughed softly, "Okay, so I will wait and see when this big fish will be caught."

Seeing that Suxian finally showed a smile, Vanilla and Yanzi also smiled happily.Although we know that the road ahead is full of thorns, why not be afraid of holding a sharp knife!
This night, I don't know if it was because of Murong Haotian's all-out help, or because the incident had a clear direction, Suxian had a rare good sleep, and did not wake up until the time had passed.

As soon as she opened her eyes and saw the bright light outside the window, Suxian called out anxiously, "Xiangcao, what time is it?"

"Second Miss, it's already the third quarter of the hour, and the servant saw that you were sleeping deeply, so she didn't wake you up." Through the door, Xiang Cao responded briskly.

"Nonsense, you know that I have to go to my house to learn the rules, so why don't you call me?" Suxian complained, and then hurriedly got off the bed, and took off the pink embroidered butterfly jacket hanging from the purple wooden clothes hanger at the corner of the bed. After changing into the shirt, he walked quickly to the dressing table, picked up the horn comb and quickly combed the hair full of black hair.

Xiangcao pushed the door and entered, seeing Suxian's flustered look, she said with a smile, "Second Miss, don't worry. Just now, someone from my family has passed it on, so you don't need to learn the rules today."

"Oh, why is that, the old lady attaches great importance to choosing a concubine, why did she change her mind today?" Suxian heard that, her combing of her hair slowed down, and she turned around and asked Xiang Cao in surprise.

"I heard that Miss Biao of the Guo family in Wuzhou entered the capital early this morning, but according to the rules of Wuzhou, Miss Biao has a filial piety, and she has to worship Buddha in the temple to get rid of bad luck before she can enter the mansion. So First, I sent the accompanying maid back to report. Counting the time, I should be able to return to the mansion before noon. The old matriarch specially ordered that the ladies should take half a day off, so that they can recharge their energy and go to my home to welcome Miss Biao together before noon." Xiangcao stepped forward, took the horn comb from Suxian, and combed her hair very lightly, quickly tied the hair into a bunch, turned her fingers quickly, and put the hair into a very straight bun.

Suxian sat quietly in front of the bronze mirror, looked at her own shadow in the mirror, casually took out an emerald single-bead plain silver hairpin from the makeup box in front of her, handed it to Xiangcao with her backhand, and said softly, "It seems that the old lady I love this cousin very much. It was originally a matter of their own family, but people from our branch were required to welcome it together. Even the study rules that she valued the most on weekdays were made an exception and saved."

Vanilla took the emerald single-bead plain silver hairpin, inserted it obliquely into the dark hair bun and fixed it securely, and then took out a light green silk flower from the ornament box, and put it on the side of the bun, only then smiled with satisfaction, and continued After discussing the topic just now, "The old matriarch has her own plans. Although the cousin is the granddaughter of the old matriarch, she is still a member of the Guo family, and she cannot be regarded as a serious master of the Lin family. It's just a distinguished guest. Now that her family is in decline and she is going to the Lin Mansion, she naturally intends to stay for a long time. The old matriarch is not willing to let her be wronged. Let the masters go to greet her today, it must be to give Miss Biao a kind of return The feeling of home, we sisters get acquainted with each other, and save Ms. Biao from feeling lonely."

Suxian raised her hand and caressed her neatly combed hair, got up and walked to the basin stand beside her, rolled up her sleeves, gently rubbed the face towel soaked in the warm water in the copper basin with her slender fingers, and continued, "These How can I not understand the truth. However, I have no idea what kind of temperament this cousin is. Annoyed. She and I don't live in the same mansion, I originally planned to avoid it if I could, so as not to cause trouble for myself, but I didn't want the old lady to order me, but I couldn't avoid it even if I wanted to."

"Hehe, it turns out that the second lady is worried about this matter. I have heard that this cousin lady is a gentle and pleasant Xiaojiabiyu, and she grew up in a secluded place like Wuzhou, and she is not as used to by the rich lady in the city. He should be a good master." Hearing this, Xiang Cao replied with a relaxed smile.

"If this is the case, it is naturally the best."

After washing up, Suxian ate the breakfast presented by Cuiya, and because she thought Guo Zijuan was warm and filial, she changed into a plain and clean moon white butterfly pattern tunic, and walked to her house accompanied by vanilla .

The members of the family are rare and complete. On weekdays, the two uncles are on official errands in the court. They go out early and return at night all day long, but there is no one to be seen. Several cousins ​​who are not at home all day are also ordered by the old lady to stay in the mansion to wait. with.Even the eldest brother Lin Shujie got word from the old matriarch, and specially asked for leave from the Imperial Academy to welcome his cousin who came from afar at home.

Lin Zhilan followed the old lady and the eldest lady to the main hall of the family.

Suxian was even more surprised to find that her fourth sister, Lin Ruxue, who had been cooped up in her room and seldom visited her home since she came to Beijing, also showed up today.But she seemed to be very unaccustomed to this kind of occasion, and she was in her own house, so she sat timidly beside Third Aunt Niang, subconsciously pulling on Third Auntie's cuff with ten fingers, as if to embolden her courage.

Third Yiniang was very displeased with this daughter whose personality was very different from her own. Taking advantage of everyone's inattention, she leaned towards her ear and whispered non-stop.It seemed that he was whispering to her.

Lin Ruxue's cheeks became more and more red, her upper teeth were biting her lower lip tightly, her jaw remained silent, and the hand that was tightly holding on to San Yiniang's cuff also let go.

Suxian looked around the crowd, always with a faint smile in her eyes, quietly sitting on the mahogany chair at the side of the main hall, looking in the direction everyone was looking at.

"Old Madam, Miss Cousin is back!" Butler Li ran in from the outer courtyard and shouted back.

　The system is down, and it can't be updated automatically. I just saw that there was no update last night, so I updated it manually. I'm sorry dear, I'm dizzy. This is the second time this has happened to Genesis.
