Poor Family

Suifeng saw his third master coming out of his wife's room, returning to the study, staring at the picture of pomegranate hanging on the wall, feeling very helpless.

Third master, can we stand up once and not be defeated every time?

In the study, Chu Yao emptied his mind. At this moment, he doesn't know what he is angry about?

When Shi Liu said that he was unwilling to share his husband, he was obviously very happy, but when he heard her lightly say the word 'no more', a fire ignited in his heart again.

Chu Yao suddenly smiled dejectedly, and he found that his feelings for Shi Liu were somewhat deeper than Shi Liu's feelings for him.

Therefore, Shi Liu could say 'no more' at will, but he was full of anger because of these three words.

"Third Master, the princess sent someone to invite you over, saying yes... that she wanted to discuss about Miss Nabiao."

There was a cautious sound at the door.

Chu Yao looked at the pomegranate picture and didn't look back. Thinking of Shi Liu's cousin who just said that she entered the game voluntarily, she was silent for a moment, and said, "I'm not free, let the concubine mother make arrangements for herself."

Everything has a price. Since the cousin is willing to be a concubine, she has to bear the shameful side of the "concubine's room".

To do this, firstly, he was unwilling; secondly, he didn't want to give his concubine and cousin the illusion that he was satisfied with taking concubines.

Three, if he behaves too positively, Shiliu will be unhappy, right?

Because the old concubine showed a lack of interest in accepting Guan Xiuyan, and concubine Guan thought of what Shi Fuxin said to her from time to time, and the rules for accepting concubines were a bit sloppy.

Concubine Guan wanted Shi Fuxin to do it, but Shi Fuxin refused directly.

She thought about putting pressure on Shi Fuxin, but Shi Fuxin just refused to accept the move and said she didn't care, she just didn't care at all. Seeing that the day of taking a concubine is coming, and nothing has been dealt with, she can only grit her teeth and take over. go.

It's just taking a concubine, so there's no need to be too grand, and Princess Guan has been busy for a few days and is too tired, so she wants to hurry up, but unexpectedly, on the day of taking a concubine, the crown prince's side concubine actually sent a congratulatory gift.

With the crown prince leading the way, other concubines and concubines of the prince also got involved. Besides gift giving, there were also those who came to congratulate him in person.

For a while, the palace was full of guests.

"Third Madam, the princess wants you to entertain guests in the main courtyard."

"I don't agree with my husband taking concubines. Since this matter was brought about by my mother and concubine, I have to thank her for her hard work."

"Third Madam, it's too outrageous for you to do this. If outsiders see it, maybe they will arrange you behind the scenes."

"The rare affairs of the palace have never been interrupted, and now it's just another small talk, don't worry, I can bear it."

Concubine Guan really has a lot of opinions on Shi Fuxin's daughter-in-law, she has no choice but to order her daughter-in-law not to move, and she has no ability to control her.

Every time mother-in-law and daughter-in-law confront each other, she, the mother-in-law, is the one who loses.

Shi Fuxin didn't show up, and those who came to watch the show were a little disappointed. When the auspicious time came, it was extremely disappointing to find that Chu Yao was not returning home.

The two rightful masters were not there, and no one had the heart to look at an insignificant orphan and concubine's room, so they got up and left without watching the seats.

Knowing that the guests left, Guan Xiuyan was so wronged that she shed tears: "If my parents are still here, why am I being humiliated like this?"

Hui'er could only comfort her: "Girl, don't cry, be careful with makeup."

Guan Xiuyan felt wronged, while Princess Guan was very angry: "Today is a good day for brother Yao and Xiuyan, how can he not be in the mansion?"

"I've been busy for so long, who am I for? Brother Yao is lucky, he doesn't take my hard work to heart at all."

"The mother has worked hard for her son, but the son is not grateful. Outsiders don't know how to say that I can't raise my son."

The confidant mother could only say: "Princess, the third master has not returned to the mansion for more than half a month. The steward sent many people to the Supervision Department to inquire, and they all said that the third master has gone to work."

Concubine Guan rubbed her forehead with a headache, and took a few deep breaths: "Forget it, it's just a concubine, it doesn't matter if Brother Yao doesn't show up, you just let the etiquette mother take Xiuyan through according to the procedure."

Guan Xiuyan, who was wearing pink clothes, knew that Chu Yao had not returned to the house, and her mood fell to the bottom. She stiffly followed the ceremonial mother to stop and go, and was relieved when she was helped into the new house.

"Girl, drink a cup of tea to moisten your throat first."

After Guan Xiuyan drank a whole cup of tea, she looked at Huier: "What kind of yard did my cousin arrange for me?"

Hui'er smiled and said, "It's the yard closest to the third master's study room. Although the yard is a bit small, it's very delicate. The servant just took a look at it, and it's been tidied up properly."

Guan Xiuyan frowned: "I thought my sister-in-law was going to put me in a remote yard, but I was a little puzzled by her doing so."

Hui'er also felt strange: "Perhaps the princess ordered the third lady."

Guan Xiuyan shook her head: "My aunt has never been able to get involved in the affairs of Rong'an Yuan. If my cousin is unwilling, my aunt will at most call my cousin to say a few words. My cousin doesn't care about these things, so why should I do it. "

"Forget it, let's stop guessing here. Since my cousin showed me kindness first, I just need to respect her more in the future."

Seeing the flickering red candle, Guan Xiuyan felt sad when she thought that Chu Yao hadn't even returned to the mansion: "My cousin must be angry with me."

Hui'er explained: "Girl, don't think too much, the third master must be busy."

Guan Xiuyan sighed: "I hope." Then she smiled again, "Although I am a concubine, no matter what, I married my cousin, and I finally have a family."

Huier was also happy that Guan Xiuyan had fulfilled her wish: "Girl, you and the third master have been together for so many years, and he will definitely treat you well in the future."

Hearing this, Guan Xiuyan's brows also relaxed a little.

That's right, she and her cousin have had a friendship for many years, which the cousin doesn't have.

As long as she holds on to this, she can always get some of her cousin's attention from her cousin.

Seeing Guan Xiuyan's tired face, Hui'er said, "Girl, let me help you wash up, and I have to serve tea to the third lady tomorrow."

Guan Xiuyan didn't like the words, and instinctively wanted to refuse, but reason told her that she was already a concubine, and it was customary to serve tea to the first wife, so she was silent for a while before she said 'hmm'.

The next day, Guan Xiuyan woke up early, dressed and went to Rong'an Yuan to greet Shi Fuxin.

Unfortunately, she couldn't even enter the courtyard door.

Mother Leng stood at the gate of the courtyard and looked at the crumbling Guan Xiuyan: "Aunt Guan, Madam said that in the future, you only need to serve the princess well, and she doesn't need you to pay her respects here."

If the wife doesn't drink tea from the concubine's room, it means that she doesn't recognize her identity. Guan Xiuyan suppressed the humiliation in her heart, and gritted her teeth: "This is not polite."

Nurse Leng laughed: "Since Aunt Guan talks about etiquette so much, then she should do her part as a concubine and just obey Madam's orders."

"By the way, Madam also said, don't worry, if the third master wants to go to your yard, she will never stop her."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Guan Xiuyan to react, she turned and entered the courtyard.

Guan Xiuyan looked at the closed courtyard door, bit her lip, and walked to the main courtyard to meet Princess Guan.

After Chu Yao took a concubine for more than ten days, Shi Fuxin went to the concubine to see the cigarette bag, and as soon as she saw the concubine, she saw her younger brother Shi Dinghao.

"Kuro, why are you here?"

Shi Dinghao took a closer look at Shi Fuxin's expression: "I know you're coming over today, so I'm here to wait for you."

Shi Fuxin Nahan: "If you want to see me, go directly to the palace, why do you come here and wait for me?"

Shi Dinghao snorted: "I'm not happy to go to the palace."

Shi Fuxin looked at him with a smile: "Let's go, let's go up and talk."

After entering the private room, Shi Dinghao anxiously asked Shi Fuxin: "Sister, are you okay?"

Shi Fuxin smiled: "What can I do wrong?"

Shi Dinghao had a stinky face: "Chu Yao's concubine room didn't cause you any trouble, did it?"

Shi Fuxin gave him a sideways glance: "What Chu Yao, brother-in-law."

Shi Dinghao snorted: "I don't want to call him brother-in-law, I asked him to find a way to push back on Naguan, but he didn't want to."

"I said sister, you are too. You should firmly express your disapproval on this matter."

Shi Fuxin smiled lightly: "Your brother-in-law's temper, the more you force him to do something, the less he will do it."

"He has some affection for Guan Shi. Even if he tries to push this matter away, if Guan Shi can't stand it and hangs himself after crying, making trouble, maybe it will deepen his guilt."

"As for Guan Shi, a person who has no ability to survive without the protection of others, what's the point of doing what she wants?"

"Chu Yao has no affection for her. Her existence may also promote the relationship between Chu Yao and me."

"So Jiulang, you don't have to cry for me."

Shi Dinghao was surprised: "Sister, don't you hate three wives and four concubines the most?"

Shi Fuxin: "I hate it, as long as your brother-in-law doesn't touch the Guan family, then they are just empty names."

Shi Dinghao: "Sister, you don't know much about men. The Guan family looks pretty good, and has a pitiful appearance. Chu Yao may not be able to control it."

Shi Fuxin lowered her eyes: "I don't want the dirty things, Chu Yao is worth my time."

"Look, let's see if he and I are destined to grow old together."

When Shi Dinghao saw Shi Fuxin like this, he couldn't say anything more.

At this time, the cigarette bag came.

Seeing that Shi Fuxin and Yan Daizi had something to say, Shi Dinghao got up and left.

"Madam, this is the news about the Wei family that I have collected during this time."

Shi Fuxin took the documents handed over by the cigarette bag, flipped through them quickly, and shook her head: "Not enough, to bring down the Wei family, these are far from enough."

Hearing this, Yan Daizi's eyelids twitched.

The sixth girl is so daring, she actually wants to attack the prince's mother's family!

Shi Fuxin looked at the cigarette bag: "Continue to collect information about the Wei family."

Yan Daizi nodded in response, thought for a while and said, "Ma'am, the Wei family is powerful, and there are empress dowagers, empresses, and princes behind them. If we want to bring them down, unless we have a fatal handle on them, it will be too difficult for us to investigate like this. Not only is it easy to scare the enemy, but it will also take a long time."

Shi Fuxin showed agreement: "The Wei family's deadly handle may be hard to find."

Speaking of this, Shi Fuxin noticed that the cigarette bag was hesitant to speak, but he hesitated for a moment and didn't say anything.

"Madam, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave first."

Watching the cigarette bag leave, Shi Fuxin narrowed her eyes.

Cigarette's reaction just now was a bit strange, she just asked him to investigate the situation of the Wei family, but he blurted out that he wanted to hold the deadly handle of the Wei family.

It seems to know that the Wei family has a deadly handle!

A deadly handle to the Wei family

The Wei family rebelled?

Shi Fuxin shook her head, there is a prince behind the Wei family, as long as the prince is supported to succeed him, there is really no need to commit treason.

If it wasn't for treason, what crime could have caused the power-lost Wei family to fall?

Shi Fuxin pondered for a while, and suddenly, her eyes turned to the direction of the palace.

It is impossible for the Wei family to rebel, so what about the Wei family in the palace?

The queen mother, queen, and prince, maybe they have committed some unforgivable sins.

The harem is always the cruelest place to fight. It is absolutely impossible for the empress dowager and empress to win if they have no crimes in their hands.

There is also the prince, in order to suppress other princes, he may do some things that the emperor cannot tolerate to stabilize his position.

It's just that how can the cigarette bag know these things?

The cigarette bag is still a bit of a mess in the inner city, he can't get involved in the affairs of the imperial city and the palace, but his hesitant reaction just now.

Shi Fuxin's eyes suddenly lit up, she raised her hand and patted her head lightly, how could she forget about the adoptive father of the cigarette bag.

That one came out of the palace!

She has always had doubts about Fu Changzai, the adoptive father of Cigarette.

That's why Chu Qinghuan wanted to arrest him in the first place, but instead of killing him, he was kept in an underground prison?

Shi Fuxin stood up, except that she had seen Fu Chang when she rescued him, she had never seen this father-in-law since then, maybe it was time to meet her old friend again.

After the cigarette bag returned to his mansion, he thought about it for a while, and then he carried the carriage and went out of the city.

The sixth girl wants to deal with the Wei family, so she has to talk to her adoptive father about it.

Fu Changzai didn't live in the capital city, but in a Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing.

Seeing that the cigarette bag that came to see him two days ago came again, Fu Changzai was still a little surprised: "Daier, why are you here again? Why, do you want to be a father?"

Fu Changzai was punching in the yard, the cigarette bag helped him into the house, and he retreated left and right before replying: "Father, today I went to see Miss Six and she is going to deal with the Wei family, I seem to have slipped my tongue in front of her. "

Fu Changzai's expression straightened: "What did you say to Miss Six?"

Yandaizi: ".I said that if we want to bring down the Wei family, we must grasp the deadly handle of the Wei family."

Fu Chang's expression suddenly became serious.

Yandaizi: "Father, Miss Six shouldn't be aware of anything, right?"

Fu Chang took a look at him: "It's hard to say, the sixth girl was able to find the Yan Party's underground prison back then, which shows that she was very sensitive."

As soon as the father and son said this, a servant came in: "Master, there is a person who claims to be Miss Six."

Hearing this, Fu Changzai and Cigarette immediately looked at each other.

Yan Daizi showed a wry smile: "In front of the sixth girl, I really can't reveal any clues."

"Okay, stop nagging, I have bad legs and feet, you go and invite people in."
