The Lady of the Big House in the Red House

After the ban, the master never went to her house, I'm afraid she was also anxious. "Jia Daishan passed away, and Jia Amnesty had to restrain himself if he wanted to keep his filial piety, but before Jia Daishan passed away, the Rong family had fallen out of favor, and originally stayed obediently in his room to "rehabilitate", but I don't know why these days he often Out and about.

"My servant heard from Zhou Hai who is beside the master that Aunt Rong often wanders outside the study of the master these days. If the master hadn't ordered others to set foot in the study, I'm afraid that Aunt Rong would rush in and ask to see her." Zhou Hai is Jinxiu's distant cousin. Brother, Jinxiu occasionally asks Zhou Hai for news.

"Nurse, go and find out who Rong has met during this time." Xu Hui said, "Our yard has been tidied up before, but it's hard to say that no fish slipped through the net. Rong is an old lady again. The first concubine who has been sitting for so long must have a heart higher than the sky. It is not her nature not to come back after suffering a loss. You should pay attention to it during this time. If Mrs. Rong wants to come to pay her respects, just go ahead Let her in, but she is not allowed to touch anything close to my body."

The aunt of this era is a concubine if it sounds good, or a maid who can share the bed with the master if it is not good.Wang would ask Aunt Zhao and Aunt Zhou to take care of her, but Xu Hui couldn't do it.She would rather be out of sight and out of mind, but if someone steps on a landmine by herself, she will not be squeezed like a soft persimmon.

"This old slave knows." Li Mama said, "Those girls in the courtyard must have seen that their wife has not been very strict recently, so they can't remember the lesson. If the old slave finds out who is cheating, they will not be able to spare her."

"I don't worry about Mammy's work. I'll leave it to Madam Rong to investigate." Xu Hui then ordered Jinxiu and Huamei, "You two and Huang Ying and Pianran are my confidantes. Those girls who are not worried can just come back to me. You two are not too young, and I have to think about your future. During this time, you are also looking for a few smart girls to cultivate, so that you can take over your class in the future. "

"Yes." Both of them responded crisply.Jinxiu and Huamei are both 15 years old this year, and will be eighteen years later.If Jia Amnesty didn't accept them as companions, he would have to drag them out as a matchmaker.Jinxiu and Zhou Hai had already settled on their marriage, and Thrush had to be helped by Xu Hui.Both of them knew that, instead of being a housekeeper and obstructing his wife's eyes, it would be better to marry and be a lady in charge, so that she could continue to help her with affairs.

The Ninth Chapter Finds out the Truth Hui Fights Back

As Xu Hui guessed, since Rong came to pay her respects that day, he began to come to greet her uncharacteristically, with a humble and humble appearance. Two small hairpins made of twisted silk of silver flowers are inserted in the docile and neat bun, which is more low-key and pure.She brought Xu Hui a cup of tea with her well-maintained hands, and then stood aside respectfully with lowered eyebrows and lowered eyes.

On the first day, Jia Amnesty was a little surprised by Rong's arrival, but in the next few days he was no longer surprised.No matter whether Rong Shi conveyed his admiration to him with affectionate eyes, or watched Xu Hui talk to him gently with bitter eyes, Jia Amnesty seemed not to see it.

Xu Hui took the tea from Mrs. Rong but didn't drink it, so she put it aside.Rong didn't notice this detail, but Jia She glanced at Xu Hui, then bowed his head and drank tea silently.

Rong looked at Jia Amnesty anxiously, twisting the silk handkerchief embroidered with pink pomegranate flowers with his fingers, and the look of hesitation was very pitiful.It's a pity that the people present were either sipping tea as if they were enjoying it very much, or they were ordering something from the waiters beside them, but no one saw Rong's cute and pitiful appearance.

Xu Hui felt that the dissatisfaction in Rong's heart was slowly accumulating to the point of breaking out, so she smiled and said to Jia She: "The master has been in the study for the past few days, and I probably don't know. Aunt Rong has become a little girl since the ban was lifted." She is much better behaved, and now that she is serving me every day, she probably really learned her lesson."

Jia She gave a faint "hmm", looked up at Rong Shi, and said, "She should serve you."

Rong's face suddenly became embarrassing, she deliberately dressed so plainly today, apart from the influence of the general environment in the mansion, she actually still wanted to make Jia She love her.It's a pity that I don't know whether it's Jia She's incomprehensible style or what is the reason, but he has become very indifferent to her, not at all as tender as he used to be when he loved her.Rong's emerald carved bracelet, with a small hollow lock hanging on it, and there are some good things in it, which she found specially.She hated Xu Hui for confining her for half a year. Right now, outsiders are not allowed to enter and leave the house casually, and people from the Xu family have less chance to visit. Now is the best time for her to "repay" Xu Hui.

"Okay, I have nothing to do here, you can go back first." Xu Hui said with a light smile.

"The concubine is resigning first." Rong finally gave Jia She a wink, but whether Jia She can accept it is another matter.

"She comes here often?" Jia She asked.

"Yeah, she came here to say hello to me before dawn, and said every day that she wanted to help me wash and eat." Xu Hui replied, "It's like a different person."

"It turned out to be a demon, you should pay attention." Jia Amnesty looked at Xu Hui's smiling face, and still told him with concern, "Although we cleared out a group of people in our yard, we also called in a group of people at the same time, be careful of them." Some people pretend to be fake."

It's rare for the two of them to have such similar brain frequencies, Xu Hui nodded: "I've already had someone check it out, don't worry."

"That's good."

Nanny Li's method of doing things is extremely fast, and she quickly finds out who is behind the scenes and their purpose.

"Ma'am, you mean that the purpose of their coming together is to drug me so that I won't have children for the rest of my life?" Xu Hui paused as she combed her long hair.

"Yes, the one who connected with Rong is a pouring girl in our yard, she is Rong's cousin." Madam Li said, "It's just that the old slave interrogated, and that girl said that she got a letter from a woman in Xikuayuan. , told her to give the things to Mrs. Rong, and she doesn't know anything else."

"It's such a poisonous scheme." Xu Hui felt that it was right for her to take precautions, "But I don't really believe that an aunt, a girl, and a woman can conspire to find such an expensive secret medicine." Such a clumsy His lies are simply an insult to people's IQ, "I'm afraid that Mrs. Wang is also planning behind the scenes."

"Madam is right. That woman and the second wife's Zhou Rui's family are from the same village, and they entered the mansion as rough envoys because of the second wife's relationship. The second wife thinks that she is strict, but she doesn't want to think that Mrs. Rong is just An aunt who doesn't have much monthly money, how can she find the secret medicine so easily!" Nanny Li snorted heavily, "She is also vicious, do you really think that the old lady can do anything if she loves the second master! Madam should tell the old lady about this matter immediately, and ask the old lady to come forward and abandon the second wife and return to the palace!"

"There is no evidence, just a question, the old lady will not believe it." Xu Hui said, "If she accidentally bites back, then we will not be worth the loss. Mrs. Wang is indeed a bit smart, knowing Send an insignificant woman to come forward and ask Rong's cousin to meet with Rong. In the future, even if the incident happens, she can be killed. It's just that Rong has a grudge and conspired with her cousin. She can still be her honor in peace and contentment. The second wife of the Guofu."

"Then the wife is willing to let the second wife go like this?" Nanny Li asked.

"I'm not reconciled, but everything must be decided after planning, and let the Wang family be free for a few days." Xu Huisu never offends me, I will not offend, and if anyone offends me, I will fight back. Aunt Zhao's elder brother works in our yard. And how much does Mrs. Wang complain about Aunt Zhao?"

"Exactly. I heard that the second wife often targets Aunt Zhao, but the second master never knew about it." Nanny Li replied.

"Find a chance, and let the second master know about it slowly." Xu Hui smiled, "That Aunt Zhao is not a fuel-efficient lamp, so I have to take care of her when I have time." You support a woman in your yard to fight against you, Mrs. Wang, let's wait and see.

Mrs. Zhao touched the set of silver ornaments sent by Sujin. Although it looked simple and plain, she knew it was unusual when she saw the workmanship.Mrs. Zhao picked up a tourmaline and pearl-shaped silver hairpin on her head. The tassel hanging from the center of the flower was terminated with three round pearls, which made her look even more beautiful.

Such a good face, her aunt did not have it before, and the second wife wished that she would look shameless in her attire, so why would she give her such a good thing.It was her elder brother who became the steward in Dongkuayuan, and the old lady gave this set of clothes to her old lady, but her old lady secretly asked Sujin to bring it to her because she was thinking about her.

People say that the second wife is virtuous, but who knows how difficult it is for these aunts to make a living under her hands.Aunt Zhou was several years older than the second master, so she was out of favor for a long time, and her young aunt had endured the second wife's anger.If she hadn't been rewarded by the old lady, she would have been kicked out of the house long ago with an excuse.

Thinking of the rumors about Aunt Zhou's inexplicable miscarriage that she had heard a few years ago, Mrs. Zhao also felt a chill in her heart, fearing that she would suffer the same treatment in the future.Although the second master dotes on her, she is nothing compared to his first wife as an aunt.To survive in the mansion, she must find another way out.

"What is Auntie thinking?" Su Jin came in with mung bean soup,
