Chapter four hundred and fortieth, the concubine housekeeper?
"I didn't find it. How could I not find it?" Mrs. Yu's triangular eyes stood up. She looked a little ferocious under the light, and her breathing was rapid, as if she was a fish thrown ashore, unable to survive.
Things have happened one after another in the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion. Ning and her most promising eldest granddaughter are not in the house. The third wife is a concubine whom she doesn't like, but even this concubine's daughter-in-law can't be scolded like before.
Just scold her, especially now that she is not in good health.
Her biggest belief is the good news brought back by her second son and eldest grandson. As long as this good news is brought back, everything she has will be worth it.
She only had one biological son, and Yu Boyang was never her biological son.
"Mother, I don't know what happened. I'm afraid this little bastard must have discovered something and escaped." Yu Zhongyang said irritably.
He and his son secretly left the capital and went to Jiangnan, hoping to intercept and kill Yu Chengxuan there.
"Nothing?" Mrs. Yu covered her chest with her hands, her voice hoarse.
"Nothing. The little bastard left Jiangnan early. He said he was going back to take your letter, but he never came back. The little bastard is so cruel. His mother and sister died and he didn't come to pay homage, but what happened?
The news of his assassination as soon as he left Jiangnan has never been heard over there."
Yu Zhongyang had a very bad time during this period. He left Beijing secretly and could not let anyone know. He dressed up as a traveling businessman and slept in the open air along the way. He consumed countless amounts of energy and finally ended up with nothing. How could he not be angry? In the original
After spinning around a few times, he asked, "Mom, what should I do now?"
Yu Zhongyang turned a blind eye to Mrs. Yu's rapid breathing. The most important thing now was Yu Chengxuan's matter.
Mrs. Yu pointed outside with trembling fingers and told her son another piece of bad news: "Lan Xue... Xue'er... something happened?"
"What happened to Xue'er? Didn't you go in?" Yu Zhongyang was startled and looked in the direction of the palace. Concubine Ning's intention was revealed to him by the Ning family early on. He felt great at that time. One of his daughters entered the palace, and he
It will be even easier to secure the position in the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion, and when my daughter gives birth to an heir, her future will be unlimited.
Mrs. Yu calmed down and explained everything that happened in the house during this period. After she finished speaking, Yu Zhongyang's face turned livid.
"The daughter of Marquis Xuanping?"
"Yes, it's this bitch who got involved in everything. She said that Yu Lanxuan saved her life and she wanted to repay her kindness. Now... now Xue'er... Even if Xue'er is in the palace, she has nothing to do with us." Mrs. Yu
The madam was in tears. She had been planning her whole life and it was about to come true, but in the end it was ruined at the hands of a kid. How could she not hate it?
The eldest granddaughter is not out of the palace now, but there is no benefit to her family. From now on... I don’t know if she can still recognize her. Of course, before recognizing her, she must be favored. Only with favor can she help the expedition.
The Hou Mansion is a helping hand, even if it is not favored and recognized, it will be useless.
"I'm going to kill this bitch now." Yu Zhongyang rushed up to her, turned around and strode out.
"Come back." Mrs. Yu stretched out her hand to hold him, "Do you want to die?"
"Mom, you're a cheap girl. Even if I can't kill her openly, I can always do it secretly! I can sneak past the side entrances of the two mansions." Yu Zhongyang couldn't find a place to vent his anger, so he spat out a breath of bad breath on Yu Xijiao.
Something happened to Ning and his eldest daughter because of Yu Xijiao, and he couldn't spare this bitch.
"Don't be impatient. Even if you really want to kill this little girl, we still have to discuss it carefully. This little girl wants to marry the prince of Qi."
Mrs. Yu took a few deep breaths and said calmly.
"Who?" Yu Zhongyang thought he heard wrongly.
"Prince Qi." Mrs. Yu's voice became darker and darker. In this dark room, people felt an inexplicable chill.
Yu Zhongyang's body trembled. The anger and hatred just now receded like a tide, and his face suddenly turned pale. At that time, the people around Prince Qi pulled him out without saying a word and slapped him with a cane. The scene was right in front of him, and he was not given anything at all.
He was a court official and was beaten without even the slightest chance to explain.
But afterwards, nothing happened to the Prince of Qi.
This is a madman, a madman who wants to drag everyone into the abyss before he dies.
"How did this marriage come about?" Yu Zhongyang gritted his teeth and said, if the bitch girl is related to the prince of Qi, the matter must be carefully discussed.
He didn't find Yu Chengxuan, but that didn't mean there was no hope at all. This time he went to Jiangnan, and he still gained something. Now he has to discuss the matter when he returns to Beijing, but he doesn't want to offend the evil star of Prince Qi again.
"I heard that Prince Qi and the Queen Mother proposed to marry out of anger, and Princess An and the eldest princess agreed to the marriage as soon as they made a bet." Mrs. Yu said with a cold face.
The most talked about marriage in the capital right now is this marriage. People say that it is rare for such a mistake to happen. Some people say that Prince Qi and Yu Xijiao are a match made in heaven.
This sounds nice, although it is a bit sarcastic, but at least no one dares to say anything openly. They all think that this marriage is interesting. If they don't talk about it, everyone can just watch and see how far this marriage can go.
Yu Zhongyang was silent, pulled up a stool and sat down in front of Mrs. Yu, gritting his teeth hard, it's not just that Prince Qi was particularly concerned...
"I won't tell you anything in advance. I'm just going to tell you what happened in the house first, so that others won't come to inquire and find out that the person in charge of the house now is the Liu family." Mrs. Yu complained angrily, "A bastard wife who is nothing.
As the head of the family, the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion must not be abolished."
As the head of the Liu family, Mrs. Yu couldn't bear it. She can't bear it until now because there is no one else. No one in the second room is here anymore, and she is powerless.
"Ms. Ning is like this now. Could it be that you divorce her and marry a suitable one? A few days ago, Mrs. Liu was still asking me about you, saying that you and Xing'er were still recovering from their injuries! He added
It's been so long and it's still not better. Do you want to ask a doctor to take a look?" Mrs. Yu continued, "That sounds nice, but I just doubt you."
"Do you suspect that I am not in the house?" Yu Zhongyang raised his eyes fiercely, "Mother, does Mrs. Liu know that our Xing'er is not here?"
"You shouldn't know. There is definitely suspicion. Something happened to Ning and Xue'er, and you didn't come out." Mrs. Yu said.
"Mother, you should handle the matters in the inner court by yourself first. Even if you can't handle it by yourself, find a few confidants to help you handle it. Liu's office cannot let her take care of it anymore. If she takes care of it too much, flaws may be exposed. I
He Xing'er also has trouble moving. As for divorcing Ning and marrying again, don't think about it, at least not now."
Yu Zhongyang warned.
If Yu Chengxuan is not found, he will send people out to look for him. Even if he doesn't go out, the people around him will go out. Things in the house are very important. If Liu is in charge of the house, what convenience will he have?
Elbow, definitely not possible.
The Xiuning family may have offended Concubine Ning. The eldest daughter is still in the palace and she needs Concubine Ning to take care of her. Moreover, the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion can no longer withstand the torment. Yu Zhongyang feels that it is best to keep a low profile at this time and let the matter pass slowly. What is going on?
There should be no such thing as marrying a wife, lest people think of Yu Lanyan.
"Is there anyone else in the house?" Mrs. Yu spread her hands, "My old lady is really old..."
"Mother, let Xiao Liu take care of it." Yu Zhongyang interrupted Mrs. Yu Tai.
Xiao Liu, also called Aunt Liu, was the concubine of Yu Zhongyang. She had the same surname as the third wife, Liu, and they were actually members of the same clan. However, Aunt Liu's family had been completely ruined.
"Can Xiao Liu do it?" Mrs. Yu was worried.
"Mom, it's okay. I will tell Little Liu about this. If you stay around more, give more power to Little Liu. If I pamper Little Liu a little more, the third brother will not be able to follow me."
I'll fight for it." Yu Zhongyang said impatiently. In the past, Ning took over this kind of matter, but now he is actually asked to make the decision.
"Okay, then Xiao Liu." Mrs. Yu nodded. Compared with being in the hands of the third house, she felt more at ease with the second house, even if the second house was just a concubine.
"Mom, Yu Chengxuan was not found. What should we do about this matter?" Yu Zhongyang brought the topic back.
"You...didn't go to the Yamen?" Mrs. Yu asked back. Before leaving Beijing, she had also anticipated the worst situation. She was afraid that Yu Chengxuan would run away and they would not be able to find her.
Will not work.
"I found it, mother, look at it." Yu Zhongyang gritted his teeth, took out an official document from his arms, and handed it to Mrs. Yu to see. It had the official seal on it.
It writes about the disappearance of Yu Chengxuan, the prince of Zhengyuan Hou. He was assassinated after setting off from Jiangnan. A young man came to Beijing to report the news. Now the two people and everyone who followed Yu Chengxuan have disappeared. They look more like dead. This is in Jiangnan.
Unable to find the evidence, on the day Yu Zhongyang went to Jiangnan, he asked someone to go to the government in the name of the steward of Zhengyuan Hou Mansion to search for missing persons.
According to the law of the Jin Dynasty, after a missing person has been missing for three months without any trace, he can be reported dead.
"Over in Jiangnan, I have people keeping an eye on him. As soon as Yu Chengxuan shows up, he will be killed. This little bastard has an unusual identity. The officials there don't dare to report his death directly. They have to go back to Beijing and look for him for another three months.
They only gave me a voucher, so the days I spent in Jiangnan were wasted."
Yu Zhongyang said angrily.
"It will be sent to the Yamen tomorrow. At that time, the boy said at the door that Yu Chengxuan was seriously injured and could not enter Beijing. Many people heard it. In addition, there are official documents from the Jiangnan government. If there is a way to arrange them, it is still possible to report that little bastard early.
A dead person, as long as he dies, the title will be yours."
Mrs. Yu said.
"Okay, then you go and rest first. Did anyone pay attention when you came here?" Mrs. Yu nodded. Her son was back, and the burden on her shoulders was relieved. Although there was no real news that Yu Chengxuan was dead, at least there was something to be done.
Whether you are executed or not is not important. What is important is that the government thinks you are dead.
It's useless even if you come out later.
In the dark of night, at the side doors of the two mansions, a figure secretly opened the side door of Zhengyuan Hou Mansion, and drew something on the wall between the two side doors...
