After such a big thing happened, Shaoyao didn't care that it was not time for the old lady to get up yet, so she hurried to the old lady's bedside and reported the matter in a hurry.
When the old lady first heard the news, she thought it was Shaoyao talking nonsense. When she saw Shen's mother coming in with an anxious look, she realized that the matter was probably true, and immediately had her daughters-in-law called over.
As soon as Mr. An heard the news, he saw the Spring Equinox in Shou'an Hall, and his face turned pale.
As soon as he entered the door, he was scolded by the old lady, "Are you a dead person?! You don't even know if someone has gone out or not? I leave everything inside and outside to you, and you are just guarding the door like this?"
"
Ms. Yu, who hurried in, immediately came forward to apologize, "It's all the negligence of the daughters-in-law. Mother must not get so angry. If something like this happens now, mother should sit in and make an idea."
Anshi knelt down aggrievedly, "Mother Rong Bing, I really can't blame my daughter-in-law for this matter. You and your second uncle agree that the third girl studied medicine with the envoy of Zhuo Yuan. Yesterday, it was the envoy of Zhuo Yuan.
Someone was sent to pick him up.
This kind of thing has happened before, and it has happened every time, so I didn't notice that the girl never came back, and I don't know why Eunuch Han suddenly thought of kidnapping the third girl..."
"What else could it be because of?" Xie Sihua's voice suddenly intervened, "Who doesn't know that the man surnamed Han is the enemy of the prince, and now that he saw that the Holy Spirit has given the prince a marriage, he did it on purpose. It's disgusting to the prince!"
Mrs. Yu just wished she could go forward and cover her daughter's mouth. Is she allowed to talk nonsense about such a powerful thing?
Xie Sihua clearly saw the look in his mother's eyes, but he still held his head high and said indifferently: "How many people in this world are worthy of the prince? Originally, this marriage gift was a source of laughter, but now it's better, and the prince is still embarrassed!
"
"Prince Chen is a member of the royal family and holds great power. It is not your turn to feel sorry for the sixth sister. You should feel sorry for your own reputation first! Jiang Shuhua is here. Now that the third sister has done something like this again, you are not afraid of yourself.
Shame on you."
Xie Qionghua walked in slowly, glanced at Xie Sihua's face with a cold expression, and sneered, then walked directly to the seat where she usually sat and stood there, because the two elders were still kneeling and it was not easy to sit down.
.
It was earlier than usual when everyone came to pay their respects, but the news spread too quickly. When she spoke, others happened to rush over, and the faces of several young girls suddenly turned pale.
Xie Qionghua doesn't need to get married, and that's the way she will be for the rest of her life. As long as the Xie family is still there, it won't be much of a hindrance to her whether she's famous or not.
But it was different for others. Xie Li turned pale at first. The matter between her and Mr. Su has not really been settled yet!
Xie Wenyuan walked to the old lady's side, looking anxious, "Mom, what did the second brother say?"
Speaking of this, the old lady realized that such a big thing had happened, and Xie Yuncang didn't come over.
"Go, go to the front yard and ask if your master has gone to the Yamen?"
Even if you get up early and don't hear any news, and you really go out, you should be back soon.
But what surprised the old lady was that Xie Yuncang didn't come back. The servants went to the Yamen and found out that he had gone to Dengzhou early in the morning, saying that the Dengzhou guards had caused some trouble.
What kind of big mess requires him, the second-in-command in the cabinet, to rush out in person?!
The old lady was so anxious that she had to send a letter to Dengzhou in a hurry and find her two sons.
But Xie Changqing didn't hold any official position, and looking at the way he was sitting on the chair, he clearly didn't listen to what was going on.
Another one, Xie Feiwu, said bluntly that if he came to the door, he would be afraid that Han Jian would not even open the door a crack, and then the Xie family would be even more embarrassed.
After discussing for half a day, no one could come up with any useful suggestions.
Xie Wenyuan thought for a long time and suddenly said: "Now that this matter has suddenly spread like this, it must be a rumor that someone deliberately spread. After all, I am afraid that no one saw the third girl going to the Han Mansion.
.
Now that the second brother is not here, we can't talk to Eunuch Han. As the third brother said, if we really go to the Han Mansion to ask for someone, I'm afraid it will only end up being talked about. In my opinion, it's better for you, mother, to go to the palace first and go.
I beg you, the Queen or Concubine Gao, to call the envoy of Shangzhuoyuan.
Let’s see if we can persuade the empress to come forward and negotiate with Eunuch Han. If we can get them to talk, Eunuch Han may not even give face to the palace. As long as the three girls show up, the rumors outside will stop.
It will destroy itself if we don’t attack.”
This was unanimously approved by everyone, and the old lady did not want to delay any longer, so she immediately sent someone to deliver the message to the palace, quickly changed into her official uniform, and hurried to the palace.
At this time, it was not even a formality, but the news had already spread throughout the capital like the scorching sun outside.
The palace was the last to receive the news.
Jiang Shuhua just changed her clothes and sat in front of the mirror. When she heard this, the hairpin in her hand fell off, "What did you say?"
"It's absolutely true. There are crazy rumors outside, saying that he stayed in the Han Mansion all night."
The one kneeling down below and answering was the new personal maid the Qi family had found for her, named Xizhu. She had been loyal to her since she came to the East Palace.
Looking at the serious look on her face, Jiang Shuhua finally slowly revealed a proud smile, "If you climb high, you will fall hard. Xie Songhua really thought that he had climbed to a high branch!
At this moment, the high branches are not securely climbed, but are being blown to and fro by the evil wind. It’s really interesting. Sure enough, if virtue is not matched, there will be disaster.”
As she spoke, she turned to the peep show in front of her and said, "Change my hair accessory for me, and let's go meet the Crown Princess."
Xizhu didn't understand for a moment, "Master, didn't you say that you should keep a low profile now that you are pregnant? During this period, we have been staying in this courtyard and refused to take another step out. Why are we looking for the Crown Princess now?"
?”
"Of course it's a gift for the Crown Princess!" Jiang Shuhua glanced at Xizhu in the mirror, and the smile on her face became more and more playful, "Do you know what this person is most afraid of?"
"My slave is stupid, please teach me, Master."
"What I'm most afraid of...is that it's worthless." She casually took a hosta and compared it with her hair, with a leisurely expression on her face. "Now that we have entered the East Palace, we should plan carefully to make ourselves
If you gain a foothold in the East Palace, you must be useful to the East Palace."
As she spoke, she inserted the plain-colored hosta into her bun and led Xizhu, who still looked confused, to the main courtyard of the East Palace.
The story of Xie Songhua was widely circulated outside, but the person involved knew nothing about it.
In fact, by this time, even if she heard such news, it would be difficult for her to think about the meaning behind it.
For a whole night, she was treating the person on the bed. She was so tired that her hands were almost no longer her own. The high-intensity and high-precision work was too taxing on the brain.
When it was light outside, she dragged her limbs and washed herself carefully. After drinking two more bowls of decoction, she felt like a wandering spirit.
He couldn't care less about how uncomfortable the bed Han Jian made him sleep on was, and he fell asleep almost as soon as he touched the mat.
It was at this time that a figure swam in quietly.
The person on the bed in the back room opened his eyes in time, but because of the numbness, his eyes looked a little dull.
