After hearing the maid's report, Ping'er frowned. People from the Hou Mansion and the Lin Mansion came.
But when she thought of what happened before, she suddenly realized that the Miaoyu girl in the Hou Mansion might also know about Jia Qi's situation.
What Miaoyu said and did before that was probably a scene she performed with Xichun.
“Who is coming from the Champion House??”
Zhi'er was thinking about Wang Xifeng's instructions, so she didn't hesitate and said bluntly: "It's Miss Miaoyu, the one dressed as a Taoist nun."
Afraid that Ping'er didn't know who she was talking about, she hesitated and then added.
Ping'er's eyes changed slightly. If she didn't know that Jia Qi was at Xichun's place, then maybe she only thought that Miaoyu came to see Xichun. But now, she had probably guessed that Miaoyu's arrival was
Instructed by Jia Qi.
"No need to say that, I know who it is."
The name Taoist nun is not a very good term no matter where it is used. When Zhi'er said this, it was already a bit over the line.
"Where's the Lin Mansion?"
Ping'er was not in a hurry to leave. After confirming Jia Xi's whereabouts, she felt that everything was not so urgent.
"He is the chief steward of the Lin Mansion, and he has brought many people with him."
Zhi'er told what she saw verbatim.
"Bringing someone with you?"
Ping'er was stunned, there were a lot of people in the Duke's mansion! Now that they have brought someone else with them, what are they planning to do?
But she thought again that no matter what she wanted to do, as long as Jia Qi was here, nothing seemed to matter.
"What's grandma's order?"
After Ping'er understood the general situation, he asked again.
"Grandma asked the girl to ask a few quick hands and feet to wait in the yard. Grandma will come back after a while and she has something to tell her."
Ping'er nodded.
She probably guessed what Sister Feng meant. Now that people from the two mansions were coming one after another, Sister Feng probably guessed that the Duke's Palace would make some moves next, so she asked her to call people to make preparations in advance.
"I understand. If there is nothing else, you can go back first."
Ping'er already had an idea in mind. There were indeed a few reliable people on Sister Feng's side. She came back a little late. Miaoyu and Butler Lin might not stay with the old lady for too long.
It's time for her to get ready.
When Zhi'er heard this, she felt a little hesitant on her face.
Wang Xifeng said before that as long as this matter is done well, she will be transferred to work, but she doesn't know if she should stay at this time. After all, according to Wang Xifeng, there is something to do next.
.
"Why, is there anything else??"
Seeing that Zhi'er hadn't moved, Ping'er thought that the other party had something else to do, so she asked.
"No..., no, Miss Ping'er, take your leave!"
After thinking about it, Zhi'er felt that it was better not to mention this matter at this time. It would be bad if it left the impression that Wang Xifeng was eager for quick success and quick gain.
Seeing the hesitant expression on the little maid's face when she left, Ping'er shook her head gently. This Zhi'er looked unfamiliar to her, and her appearance was not that outstanding. Among all the maids in the Jia Mansion, she could only
Ranked in the middle and lower reaches, she probably worked as a sweeper before.
Now that she can come here, Wang Xifeng must have promised something. However, Zhi'er did the right thing at this time. There are some words that she does not need to say, and she should not say them.
"Hey~~"
"Silly girl, this is not a good place to go!!"
Others are jealous of the people around Sister Feng. After all, Wang Xifeng has always been the housekeeper and has great power. People around her can make others think highly of her.
But only those around Wang Xifeng know that Sister Feng is not that easy to take care of. She is really a protector, but she is also really petty. She often hangs around here. If Jia Lian takes a look, it will not be good for them.
A blessing, but a disaster.
No one knew better than her how powerful her master's methods were, so she never dared to go beyond the realm of possibility when she was here. Later, when Wang Xifeng gave her away, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
In Rongqing Hall, after Butler Lin said goodbye to Jia Mu, Jia She and others did not leave.
"What do you think of what Ru Hai said??"
Jia Mu was not very interested in guessing riddles, especially at this time.
"Loyalty to the emperor and servicing the country literally means loyalty to the emperor and to the king. Serving the country more often means going into battle to kill the enemy and sacrifice one's life in the face of national calamity."
Jia She sighed quietly.
The previous sentence is not difficult to understand. Combined with the current situation, these four words can be summarized as the Jia Mansion must stand firm and cannot defect at the last moment. At best, it must actively participate in the battle to defend the city.
This is also the real reason why Butler Lin brought people here specially. They were not here to protect the hospital at all.
He had just sent people to investigate those people. They were not ordinary nursing homes. They should be veterans. He had dealt with such people before, so he knew their details very well.
"My uncle's intention is that we should not leave. If conditions permit, it would be best for the family to take the initiative to ask for help..."
Jia Baoyu frowned and followed Jia She's words.
A hint of appreciation flashed in Jia She's eyes. Jia Baoyu was really different. He had said a lot just now, but not everyone could understand the meaning behind it.
"As for the last sentence, I don't have a clue at the moment. We don't just see the nobles in the palace if we don't want to see them. If an imperial edict comes down, our house won't be able to refuse it. We can see the nobles if we want to, and we can see them if we don't want to."
Jia Baoyu frowned. He could understand some things, but some things were puzzling.
Until Sister Feng's casual words shocked Jia Baoyu's heart.
"Our uncle should not say anything about this situation!"
Jia She's heart was shaken, and at the same time he seemed to think of something. If Lin Ruhai really meant that, then why bother.
It's okay to just say that you don't accept the order, but if you don't accept the order, it will be a serious crime of beheading. This is self-contradictory.
Unless those people come to them, there is no imperial decree.
Jia Baoyu also realized this. The noble people Lin Ruhai mentioned were not necessarily the emperor's people. After all, people in the palace were also divided into factions. They were not only the emperor's people, but also several princes.
Jia Baoyu subconsciously looked at Jia She. Jia She knew that the only person present who could understand Lin Ruhai's meaning was Jia Baoyu. Jia Baoyu also knew that Jia She was a smart man, a smart man who could see through many truths.
"Uncle..."
Jia She waved his hand.
"Okay, let me say the next thing!"
"If my guess is correct, Lin Ruhai asked us to be careful of those princes. They came here at this time for only a few purposes. Daiyu and the four girls, as well as the empress in the palace..."
