"Old sister, if you don't come to me now, I plan to go out to find you later." Old Mrs. Wen didn't care about so many etiquette. As soon as she saw the old lady coming, she directly welcomed her into her room.
inside.
"Let everyone else go down!" Old Mrs. Wen was rude, but when everyone left, she suddenly said, "Sister Yan, stay here to look after your grandmother."
This was the intention of letting her listen. After all, Qiao Yuyan was not only the beloved granddaughter of the old lady of the Qiao family, but also the sixth wife of the Wen family in the future.
She is connected to two families and is safe for both families.
"I've been very confused these past two days. As far as I know, not only Concubine Hui, but also Concubine Xian is also investigating what happened back then." Old Mrs. Wen had a sad look on her face, "I don't know what's going on in the palace."
Find out which step you have reached.
How much does that damn shadow guard know, but those three old guys didn't leave any clues, so I'm totally helpless here."
It was rare for the old lady to see Mrs. Wen like this. The initial nervousness calmed down, and she turned to comfort her, "Don't scare yourself first. It's still so calm outside, which means things are not as bad as you imagined."
Such a dangerous situation.”
Old Mrs. Wen held the old lady's hand, the look on her face did not relax, "I have been guarding this home for so many years, but I am actually holding my breath.
I am the daughter-in-law personally chosen by our family’s grand master. Over the years, I feel that I have never failed to live up to the expectations of my elders. I just want to support this family.
When I get down there in the future, I will spit on him hard to show him how sorry he was to me, and I can also sue him when I get in front of my ancestors."
Mrs. Wen spoke with true feelings, and Qiao Yuyan couldn't help but feel a little moved in her heart.
In her previous life, she rarely got close to Old Mrs. Wen. She knew that Old Mrs. Wen had always looked down on her, so she was even more afraid and unwilling to get close to her.
Therefore, in the eyes of Qiao Yuyan in her previous life, she was a high-ranking woman with paternalistic majesty.
But at this time, she realized that Mrs. Wen's current appearance was all because of her unwillingness back then.
Does such persistence really make sense?
Qiao Yuyan did not dare to speak nonsense, but looked at the silver hair on Mrs. Wen's head and felt aggrieved for her.
"What about Princess Jiahe?" The old lady didn't have much time to listen to her chaotic words, so she quickly brought the topic back.
Concubine Hui was suddenly involved in an accident, and Concubine Xian was the unparalleled number one person in the inner palace. If the Holy Emperor really passed away, then with the current situation, Concubine Xian would be the most likely to take over.
Then it is worth studying what Princess Jiahe does as the daughter of Concubine Xian. After all, it affects whether she will be the eldest princess of the dynasty or just an ordinary princess in the future.
But what surprised the old lady was that old lady Wen shook her head, "I misjudged this Jiahe. When she was in the boudoir, her noisy personality has completely changed now.
Not only has she not said a word in the past few days, she has even stopped doing some of the things she loves to do on weekdays. Apart from visiting her mother-in-law and I to say hello, she hardly moves out. It's hard to say a word.
.”
"That just shows that she knows something about this matter, at least she's not as ignorant as we are."
The old lady's words were approved by the old lady Wen, but she was also helpless, "Although she married into my family, she is a princess after all. There are many things that even I can't ask too much. I just hope that at least
She has a fate with my family, and if anything really happens, she can help my family."
The meaning of these words is actually very obvious. The Wen family is on the same side, and the fifth prince behind Princess Jiahe.
However, if what happened back then were found out, the Wen family would still be dragged into the water with Princess Jiahe present.
Once you realize this, some words will no longer be easy to continue.
The old lady then talked about other things. How could Mrs. Wen, such a smart person, not know the meaning of this.
The two of them resolved this issue in a tacit understanding.
The old lady suddenly asked, "The incompetent guy in our family didn't cause you any trouble, did he?
Speaking of which, she has to call Beauty Zhao in the palace aunt! It was inexplicable at first that such a sworn relationship with Jinlan happened."
This sentence reminded Old Mrs. Wen, and she quickly said: "That's right, I asked my wife to check what's going on in the house these days, just because I'm afraid there's someone hiding in the dark doing mischief secretly."
After saying this, she quickly raised her voice and called for Mrs. Wen to come over.
Mrs. Wen was rushing here in a hurry. As soon as she entered the yard, she heard someone saying she was looking for her. She didn't dare to delay at that moment.
As soon as he came in, before asking any questions, he knelt down and said, "Mom, I'm afraid something is going to happen."
"What's wrong?" As soon as Mrs. Wen heard this, she knew there must be something wrong and asked nervously.
Only then did Mrs. Wen notice that the old lady of the Qiao family and Qiao Yuyan were also present, and her face became even more angry.
"My mother asked me to check everyone who has been in and out of the house in the past few days. Who knows, I found out that Aunt Qiao went out three days ago.
Not only did she go out, but she also went out pretending to be a maid, and then the daughter-in-law asked someone to identify her along the way, and someone said they saw her at the gate of the imperial city."
Old Mrs. Wen was startled and almost dropped the tea cup, "What?!"
Old Mrs. Qiao was also shocked, "This scourge... what was she doing in the imperial city at that time?"
Qiao Yuyan thought for a moment, "She never saw Aunt Pei when she met her at our house that day. Could it be that she wanted to beg Concubine Hui and meet her mother through Concubine Hui?"
Qiao Yuyan's speculation is actually the most likely, but it is different now than before. Now Concubine Hui suddenly made such a big mistake. If she had even the slightest connection with the Wen family, it would probably be the crime of overthrowing her.
"Go! Bring that bitch to me immediately!" Old Mrs. Wen could hardly control her emotions.
But after saying that, I felt a little regretful and quickly looked at the faces of the Qiao family's grandparents.
Old Mrs. Qiao didn't even blink her eyelids. Instead, when the other party looked over, she said calmly, "Sister, you don't need to take into account my presence. I told you a long time ago that since I have married into your family, I will naturally marry into your family."
people."
Qiao Yuyan just pursed her lips and said nothing, her eyes only fell on the square bricks not far in front of her, as if she hadn't heard anything.
Old Mrs. Wen nodded. After a while, Qiao Yuning was brought over by the two women. She was the only one, and none of the maids who usually followed her were allowed to take her.
