Caihuan told her that Mrs. Kang asked her to monitor the movements of the eldest lady and the Sheng Mansion. If anything happened, she should be informed in time, so she thought of leaving the mansion.
However, the Sheng Mansion had been surrounded for a long time. Seeing that there was no hope of leaving the house through the main gate, she wanted to get out through the dog hole.
But unfortunately, even the dog cave was guarded, so she was arrested immediately.
After learning the truth, Wang Ruofu, who was so angry that he couldn't even stand up, suddenly had a surge of strength in his body, stood up suddenly, and ran up to Cai Huan with a big dick in front of him.
"You bitch, I've been so good to you, but you dare to betray me."
Caihuan was shaking all over and was speechless.
The old lady waved her hand: "Take it down."
Yuan Cai and others immediately left the hall with Cai Huan.
After Caihuan was taken down, only the old lady, Hualan and Sheng Hong, as well as Wang Ruofu and Liu's mother were left in the room.
"Now Sanlang is not out of danger yet. Even if the eldest lady is deceived, the crime is still unforgivable. But how to deal with you will be discussed later. The most important thing now is to call your eldest sister Kang, Sanlang.
The current situation is all caused by her, no matter what happens to Saburo, she must control it."
Hua Lan agreed without hesitation: "Grandma is right. If you dare to hurt an official, even your own aunt will not be forgiven."
Even though she and Mrs. Kang were direct relatives, the one who was hurt now was her own man. Naturally, she hated Aunt Kang very much. If Aunt Kang appeared in front of her now, she would have the urge to kill with her own sword.
Sheng Hong did not hesitate and said the same: "Son, listen to your mother."
He would rather do nothing now than make a mistake. Since the old lady wants to preside over major affairs, he will directly hand over the power. For him, it would be great if he can push away all the responsibilities.
.
The old lady nodded, and then said to Mother Liu: "Mother Liu, you are the confidant of the eldest lady. If you go to Madam Kang, she will not doubt you. If you go to her, just say that my old lady is in trouble and is about to die. Let her
Come over quickly and discuss with the eldest lady what to do next."
Liu’s mother hesitated and said, “But will she believe it?”
The old lady snorted coldly: "She has done so much just for this moment to be able to see her results with her own eyes. She will definitely not refuse. I believe you know how to trick her."
Mother Liu gritted her teeth, then raised her head and said firmly: "Don't worry, I will definitely trap her."
After receiving the order, Mother Liu no longer hesitated and walked out of Sheng Mansion.
The old lady looked at Hua Lan again, sighed quietly, and said, "Hua'er, please send someone back to the Duke's Mansion to tell Hui Niang what happened here."
"Mother."
Sheng Hong stood up hurriedly and asked eagerly: "Is it too early, or should we wait until Saburo calms down?"
The old lady glanced at him, but she couldn't guess what he was thinking. She was just afraid that Hui Niang, Zhou Chen's mother Xu Hui, would be angry with Sheng Mansion if she knew about it.
"Huiniang is Sanlang's mother. If something like this happened, what would it matter if we kept it secret? Hong'er, you are really out of your mind."
She didn't know what would happen if she told her niece, but even if she knew, she should still tell her. If she kept it secret, it would offend people even more.
Sheng Hong couldn't say anything to refute, so he could only look at his daughter Hualan.
Hua Lan's face turned pale, but she only hesitated for a moment before making a decision.
"I'm going to ask Yuan Cai to go back and report to my mother. I'm worried that my mother will be irritated if she finds out about Guan Ren's situation. Now that Guan Ren is still awake, if something happens to my mother again, then..."
"Your worries are reasonable, but even so, we should still tell her the matter. I also understand Hui Niang, she can handle it."
Since Shengfu arrived in Bianjing City, she has met her niece Xu Hui every year. Naturally, she understands the temperament of her niece. She has experienced the death of relatives many times, and her psychological endurance has far exceeded that of ordinary people.
Although she was worried, she still felt that telling her niece was the right choice.
"I understand, Grandma."
She walked outside and called Yuan Cai over. Soon Yuan Cai nodded and left Sheng Mansion.
The Duke of Jingguo!
The old lady of the Zhou Mansion, Mrs. Zhou Xu, is playing with her grandchildren. Counting Shulan's pair of concubine children, she now has five direct grandchildren.
Her son is promising and holds a high position. He has promoted the hereditary Marquis to the title of Duke. All five of his children are smart and obedient. They have basically grown up by her side, so they have a deep relationship with her.
Compared to his two previous disciples, the eldest son was taught by the old Marquis and was not very close to her. Only the younger son was close to her. On the contrary, all the children of the grandchildren were very close to her.
Especially for Zhou Chen's first two sons, Zhou Chen was the outside one and Hua Lan was the inside one. The children were mostly brought up by her, so the relationship was naturally better.
Mrs. Zhou Xu was looking at Zhou Fu with a smile, and Zhou Ji, the two older brothers and sisters, were playing with their younger brothers and sisters.
Suddenly, Mother He, who was in charge of her yard, came over.
"Mrs. Tai, the young man next to the Duke, Yuan Cai, came over and said that he was ordered to see Madam Tai alone."
"Um?"
Mrs. Zhou Xu looked surprised. Of course she knew that Yuan Cai was a capable person around Zhou Chen.
"Okay, take him to the side hall and wait."
Then she asked the maids and envoys in the courtyard to keep an eye on her grandchildren, and then went to the side hall.
"Madam."
Yuan Cai bowed respectfully to Mrs. Zhou Xu. Although Mrs. Zhou Xu had never interfered with the affairs of the mansion, everyone in the mansion respected the lady because everyone knew that the Duke of Guo was the most filial person to his mother.
Even the eldest lady has to listen to the words given by the madam.
"Yuancai, did Sanlang ask you to come?"
"Yes, Mrs. Tai, the Duke said that I can only talk to Mrs. Tai alone."
Zhou Xu's expression became a little more solemn. Zhou Chen had specifically asked her. It seemed that something really happened, so she waved to Mother He. Mother He immediately left the side hall with the maids waiting around, leaving only
Yuancai was left alone.
"You can say it now."
Yuan Cai did not speak, but took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Zhou Xu.
"Madam, this is what the Duke asked me to pass on to you."
Zhou Xu was even more surprised. If she had something to say, she couldn't convey it directly, so she still had to write a letter.
She took the letter, tore open the envelope, and read it.
After reading it for a short while, she frowned, and after a while, she slowly put down the letter.
"Are you aware of what Saburo said in his letter?"
"Back to Madam, I am aware of the Duke's orders."
"Besides you, does anyone else know about it? Where is the eldest lady?"
Yuan Cai answered truthfully: "The Duke was worried that the eldest lady would be confused if she cared about her, so he didn't tell the eldest lady. In fact, except for the younger brother, only Brother Cao knew part of the situation. The Duke couldn't bear the sadness of his wife, so he
I wrote this letter."
"This kid."
Zhou Xu laughed dumbly and believed that Zhou Chen had explained everything. He was worried that she would be sad and sad, and he was also worried that she would do something without knowing it.
"Is the situation in the court already so serious? Even Saburo will use this method to save himself, but is this really the best choice? According to what he does, no matter who wins in the end, the favor of the Duke's Mansion will be
It's greatly weakened, wouldn't he not understand, or does this kid have other plans?"
Even though she usually doesn't care about things, she comes from the Yongyi Hou Mansion after all, and she still has a good vision of the city. Based on what Zhou Chen said in her heart, she can naturally distinguish the current situation.
Although she was confused in her heart, she also understood that her son had always been smart and alert, otherwise the Duke of Jingguo would not be what it is today. If she could see it clearly, Zhou Chen could also see it clearly. Since Zhou Chen had a plan, all she had to do was cooperate with him.
Just fine.
"Madam, you and my aunt, the old lady, must be worried now, right?"
"Yes, the eldest lady and Mrs. Sheng are both worried. It was the eldest lady who asked me to come back and tell the truth to Mrs. Sheng."
Mrs. Zhou Xu nodded and said: "It seems that she understands the importance and did not deliberately deceive me for the sake of her natal family. It doesn't matter if she takes care of her natal family. It would be inappropriate if she is more partial in this kind of matter."
Yuan Cai lowered his head and did not dare to speak. This was a matter between the wife and the eldest lady, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. He felt that even if he heard it, he should pretend that he had not heard it.
"I already know everything and will cooperate with him. Just go back and report it. After hearing the news, I became so angry that I fainted."
Yuan Cai's expression was startled, but he didn't ask any more questions and replied directly: "Yes, I will report back to the madam 'truthfully' as Mrs. Tai said."
"Go and call Mother He over. She has been with me for decades and is my most trusted confidant. If I want to pretend to be faint, I still need her cooperation."
