East House.

Mrs. Zhu sat on the couch with her forehead, her eyes sluggish. In front of her, a scene that had just been sent to her son: her son said goodbye to his grandmother solemnly and respected her. When she said goodbye to herself, she just told her not to worry about her, just a few words.

That's all. After twenty years, she also knew the old lady's position in her son's mind, and she didn't expect to overwhelm her.

But before leaving, Mrs. Zhu noticed that his eyes were always on Qiao Nu's face.

The son's gaze at Qiao Nu made Zhu feel angry and lost deep in his heart.

She dared not let herself go to Mrs. Xu. But she naturally had no scruples about her daughter-in-law who had a natural inequality with her status.

Why does the daughter of an enemy have to overwhelm himself with her son?

The more Zhu thought about it, the more angry he became, with a headache, and his heart also felt a slight pain. The footsteps behind him were approaching, and he turned his head and came to Jiang Yu.

Jiang Mama brought Zhu a boiled snow clam. Zhu took a few sips and put it down.

Jiang Ma advised: "Madam, I have worked hard these days. It's better to calm down the mind and calm down. Take a few more bites."

Zhu pushed the cup away and shook his head and said, "I really can't eat anything. Seeing that Qiao's pretending, I felt so tight that I couldn't bear it."

Jiang Ma sighed: "Isn't the maid empathy? I don't know what she said to the old lady. Now the old lady is the only one in her eyes. Yesterday, Shi Ma from the Eat Cut came to tell the maid that although the lady had not yet removed her position from her, she used other people to manage the accounting. In just a few days, she started to move her wife's people. I'm afraid that the lady would have no place to stand."

Zhu's heart was pounding and his face became even more ugly after being stabbed. After a while, he said, "She has the support of a blind mother, what can I do?"

Jiang Yu looked back and looked behind her, leaned over and whispered: "Madam, I went to visit Zheng Shu a few days ago. When I came back, I couldn't bear to say something to Mrs. Yu. I was afraid that the wife would be sad."

Zhu said: "What are you talking about? Tell me quickly!"

Jiang Ma sighed: "When Zheng Shu returned home, her uncle was afraid of the old lady's pressure and hurriedly found a family for her to get married. Her husband was rude and didn't know how to be caring. Now Zheng Shu is very sad. When she sees me, she cries endlessly. I came back at that time, afraid that the wife would be sad when she hears it, so she dare not mention it."

Zhu showed heartache: "I was the one who harmed her niece!"

Jiang Mama said: "What's the matter with Mama? Zheng Shu still feels grateful when she mentions Mama. She only mentions..."

She stopped and sucked her mouth towards the west room, "I hate it when I mention the one in the room."

Zhu gritted his teeth and said, "I hate you too! What can I do!"

Jiang Yi's eyes moved slightly: "It's not impossible. It depends on your wife, you can't do it."

Zhu was stunned: "What method?"

Jiang Ma said to the ears and said, "The Great Witch is a master of the magic spell. I heard that as long as you get the birth date and eight characters to make a doll, the Great Witch casts the magic spell and adds enough resentment. Ten days and half a month, the person will definitely die of illness. What's even better is that there is no special attitude and others will never have any other doubts."

Zhu was startled: "You asked me to kill Qiao Nu?"

Jiang Madam hurriedly knelt down: "Madam forgives the crime! The maid is just out of a moment of anger and talking nonsense! If the maid can't bear it, she will be a maid and never said it!"

Zhu waved her hand: "I'm not blaming it!" She was upset and could not make a decision. Her breathing gradually became rapid, and her face turned red and white. She felt that Jiang Ma said this plan was very suitable for her. She felt trembling again and did not dare to take action.

Jiang Mama looked at her face and whispered: "Madam, it's not a maid who talks too much. The Qiao family has an irreconcilable hatred with her, and she wishes that she could not be eliminated to sacrifice to the first lord, and the young master was the heroic spirit in the sky. Madam Tzu Chi, Qiao's daughter was not only not grateful to her, but also opposed her everywhere. Only the wife can tolerate her, but she was forced to retreat step by step."

Zhu clamped his palms suddenly, his nails fell deeply into the flesh of his palms, and he gritted his teeth and said, "What you said is reasonable! I will give in, I am afraid that she will eventually lead to a dead end!"

Jiang said, "It's not that the wife doesn't want her tolerate her, but that she's just avenging her first master who died that day!"

When Zhu thought of the pain of losing his husband and son that day, his heart was as if he was shattered. He turned to look at Jiang Xi and said, "How can this be done to be appropriate?"

Jiang Ma whispered: "It's really not to be hiding from it. This plan was not done by the maid, but Zheng Shu's intention. If the maid agrees, the maid goes out of the mansion and hand it over to Zheng Shu. She will do it secretly, so that it will be hidden. If it really works, it will never make people suspect that the maid is here!"

When Zhu heard that it was her niece, she felt even more united and stopped hesitating. She nodded and said, "It's so great. See the opportunity to go there in the past two days, take my words over, and tell her to be careful and not to give anyone a handle."

Jiang Mama agreed.

...

In the south of the city, there is a family named Liu. Although the ancestors were not prominent and had small families, the family had three houses and hundreds of acres of land, and there were no shortage of slaves in the family. Last year, the son was recommended by the local government for his filial piety and made a main record room in the Chang County government office. It was also a family with a relatively innocence and wealthy man who was inferior to the superior and superior.

Half a year ago, a matchmaker came to the house to match the niece of a Zheng family and told the Liu family that the son of the Liu family. The parents of the Liu family found out that although Zheng Shu both died, there was an aunt who was the mistress of the Wei Mansion of Junhou. Before Zheng Shu returned home, she had lived in the Wei Mansion for many years. Although she didn't know why Zheng Shu was still unmarried, she has returned to the Zheng family alone again. But if she could take this opportunity to climb up to the relatives of the Wei Mansion, the other party could not control it for a while. Not only did she hesitate, she felt that her family was competing for a moment and agreed to the marriage. Three months later, Zheng Shu entered the house. Seeing that Zheng Shu was outstanding in appearance and generous dowry, she was happy. Because of her relationship with the Wei Mansion, she dared not show off her elder airs in front of her, and she wanted to be careful to worship. The son of the Liu family loved the newly married wife, and was also happy.

The Liu family thought that a good marriage was born from heaven and became a good family in the family for nothing. However, they never expected that Zheng Shu began to change her face in less than half a month. Every day, they didn't think that she was not afraid of eating a rough meal and was not able to swallow her. They punished the servants to serve her clumsyly. The parents of the Liu family held it at first, thinking that she had been used to the life of rich clothes and food in the Wei Mansion. She could not get used to it for a while, and was more careful in supplying it. However, Zheng Shu did not dare to treat her as a result of her, and vented all her resentment and dissatisfaction from being driven out of the Wei Mansion to her husband's house.

, After a while, not only did he scold the servants, but even his parents-in-law also started to confront him. As for her husband, he was even more sarcastic and mocked him, calling him useless. When he came to the room, he slept with him and stayed up and refused to go to bed when he was disgusted. Now that is, the parents of the Liu family regretted it. They hated that they had been greedy for wealth and planted bitter fruit. Zheng Shu would move out of the Wei Mansion to suppress others at all times, and how could they dare not do anything. As for the Liu family's son, he is now even more afraid of his wife, so he simply avoided the county and did not come back a few times a month, and the whole family became Zheng Shu's world.

It was already midday. Zheng Shu was drunk last night and woke up until now. She got up lazy and was being combed. When she was being served to comb her hair, the Liu family's parents saw a green felt mule cart parked at the door. An old woman got out of the cart, and her legs were slightly lame. She recognized that it was a decent old woman who had been here in the Wei Mansion a few days ago. She did not dare to be negligent, so she hurried out to greet her. Jiang Mei had no parents in her eyes, but she met her lightly and entered like her own home. Zheng Shu heard that Jiang Mei was coming and showed joy. She hurriedly welcomed her into the room herself, asked the servant to present tea and fruits, and smiled: "A few days ago, Am came to see me, and I would also say when I will meet again next time!"

Jiang Ma smiled and replied a few times, throwing her eyes at her. Zheng Shu knew she had something to say, she pulled the servant in the room out, closed the door, and asked, "Em is back, but what do you have to do?"

Jiang Mama called her to her side and whispered. After Zheng Shu heard this, her face changed slightly. When hesitated, Jiang Mama said, "This was the instructor of the wife. The wife has always suffered from the old blind mother and had no choice but to do it. She was just because she was inconvenient and treated you as a caring person, so she secretly handed over this matter to you. You think, if it weren't for the old blind mother's interference in the past, how could you be driven out of the Wei Mansion? Now she has married such a devastating family?" As she said that, she looked around the decorations in the room with a contemptuous look.

Zheng Shu was touched by her heart and gritted her teeth and said, "What Em said is extremely true!"

Jiang Mama smiled and said, "Mrs. I said that as long as this is done, not only will it be possible to get a lot of gold and silk, but in the future, the wife is the best at home, so it is not impossible to take you back. This time, my wife will give you some convenient money first." As she said that, she took out a purse from her bag and untied it, revealing the golden cake inside.

Zheng Shu had originally hated Mrs. Xu and Nv Qiao. She was forced to marry into the Liu family. She thought that this would be the case in her life. Unexpectedly, her aunt suddenly planned to secretly remove Mrs. Xu. She was just trying to meet her wishes and sent her to do things. How could she not respond? After thinking about it, she made up her mind and said, "I will accept the money first, and I will use it when I take care of it. The big witch will not take action easily. Fortunately, I had some friendship with her before, so I would ask for it well, and it might be done. Go back and wait for the news."

Jiang Xi was happy. The two of them reminded each of them not to leak the news, and they whispered and repeatedly conspired. After the agreement, Zheng Shu sent Jiang Xi out as if nothing had happened.

...

Wei Shao sent troops to leave Yuyang, and three days passed in a blink of an eye.

Without Wei Shao, Xiao Qiao lost the responsibility of serving her husband and became much more free to act. In the past three days, in addition to some family matters, she opened her eyes in the morning and went to the north room, and in the evening she waited until Mrs. Xu was able to sleep before she came back.

That evening, Mrs. Xu took the medicine and before resting, she smiled and told Xiao Qiao not to be so careful about herself from tomorrow.

Xiao Qiao said: "When my husband goes to war, the west room is empty, and it's not interesting to keep it alone. Why not come here to accompany my grandmother. I'm afraid that my grandmother will think that I'm clumsy and will get in the way."

Mrs. Xu shook her head and laughed, "How could it be? Grandma wishes you were always with me. She is afraid that you will be too hard. It's really meaningless to be with me, the old man, I know it in my heart."

Xiao Qiao smiled and said, "Grandmother is kind-hearted. I am not close enough. How can it be boring? When my grandmother recovers, I don't need to drive me away. I will be lazy myself. I hope my grandmother won't blame me at that time."

Zhong Mama said on the side: "The woman is filial. And this is also the case. The old lady doesn't have to feel sorry for her. When she recovers from her illness, she will get back with a little more pain."

Mrs. Xu smiled and said, "Well. If my grandson is not in front of me, I will enjoy the blessing of my granddaughter-in-law."

Xiao Qiao helped her lie down, and after she was placed, she was with her. Seeing that she gradually fell asleep, she got up and was sent out by Zhong Ma. When she returned to her west room, she felt tired. She took a hot bath in the bathroom, went out to wear clothes, and sat alone in front of the lamp.

It was already a little late. The hustle and bustle of the day disappeared. The huge Wei Mansion also fell into the tranquility of the night.

Xiao Qiao slowly wiped her long hair dry. When she was in a daze, Chunniang suddenly came in and said something with her ear. Xiao Qiao asked her to bring people in. After a while, Huang Ma from the east room came in secretly, entered the door, and greeted Xiao Qiao.

Xiao Qiao asked her to waive the gift and gave up her seat. Huang Ma said she didn't dare.

Xiao Qiao smiled and said, "Chunniang said you have something to say?"

Huang Madam stepped forward and whispered: "These days after the maid got the instructions from the Queen, he always paid attention to the actions of the wife and the Queen Jiang. This afternoon, the lady fell asleep. The girl changed her clothes and quietly left the mansion from the back door. She had not taken the bus or brought her people with her. Seeing that her maid was suspicious, she followed her quietly. Does the lady know where she went?"

Huang Mama paused. Seeing Xiao Qiao's eyes come, she whispered: "She went to a high-walled house in the west of the city. When I went over with me, she saw her flashing in the back door, as if someone was waiting inside, and the person disappeared immediately. It was not convenient for me to get closer, so I just waited far behind. In less than a cup of tea, I saw her sneaking out and hurried back to the mansion. The more I thought about it, the more I felt strange, and I remembered the female command, so I came over to report it."

Xiao Qiao asked: "Do you know who that family is?"

Huang Mama said: "The maid has been in Yuyang for decades and knows some things. It seems to be the residence of a widow of a village marquis surnamed Li."

Xiao Qiao asked her to describe the location and address clearly. Then she interrogated her carefully and saw that there was no omission. She handed her money to Mrs. Huang. Mrs. Huang refused a few times and took it over, but was very grateful.

Xiao Qiao smiled and said, "Em did a good job today. Don't let the news leak after you go back. If there is any abnormal movement, let me know."

Huang Mama hurriedly said, "I dare not be loved by the Queen. The maid is determined to serve the Maid. In this way, the maid will return first so that people will not be noticed."

Xiao Qiao nodded with a smile. When Huang Ma left, she pondered for a moment and asked Chunniang, "You helped me deliver a letter the day before yesterday. Is that person still here?"

Chunniang said, "It should be still here. I heard from the man's words that he seems to have his old friend in Yuyang. I want to linger for a few days to visit friends and come back later."

Chunniang responded and saw Xiao Qiao silent, as if she was thinking about something. At first, she didn't dare to disturb her, but then she couldn't help asking, "If the maid has thought about the lady these days, what happened? Why did she ask the whereabouts of that man again?"

The "Langjun" mentioned by Chunniang is the man who sent a letter to Yuyang a few days ago on Bishu Daqiao. Daqiao also mentioned in the letter that the man was named Zong Ji, who was originally a family in Xuzhou and had a grudge against Xue Tai for generations. When he was young, his family was broken and he had to worship a master and practice martial arts. When he was a young man, he wandered around with his sword. A few months ago, he returned to Xuzhou and failed to assassinate Xue Tai. When he was injured and in danger, he was rescued by Bishu. Goshu'er has always made a promise, and the two of them appreciate each other. Zong Ji immediately vowed to serve to repay his life-saving grace. He learned that his wife wanted to send a letter to Yuyang north, and said that he had also traveled far away when he was young, and that he still had one or two old friends in Yuyang. He was willing to deliver the letter to him.

In today's chaotic times, the road is full of obstacles, and communication between the north and the south is even more difficult. I don't know how many letters from others have been lost on the road. De Zongji promised that Da Qiao immediately wrote the letter and asked him to deliver it to Amei.

Da Qiao also mentioned in the letter, saying that if there is a reply, you can feel at ease to send it to Zongji to bring it back. It was Xiao Qiao who wrote the reply a few days ago and asked Chunniang to send it to the inn where Zongji lived.
