Chapter 173: Whistleblowing
Xue Jinyi got up early in the morning and ran to the west wing room first, and found that the bedding was neatly stacked on the small couch, and the figure of the king of Chu was gone.
She looked back and saw Qinglan snickering.
They obviously all knew that the King of Chu had stayed here last night......
Xue Jinyi coughed lightly twice seriously, and walked to the stove with her hands behind her back.
Qinglan came up and said softly: "Miss Xue, His Royal Highness the King of Chu, please rest assured, he quietly left the Weiguo Mansion when the nursing home was changing shifts, and no one found out." ”
"That's good." The corners of Xue Jinyi's mouth twisted, and she pressed down a heart-saving smile.
She walked into the stove, and in the mist, she suddenly remembered the man who had been half-dressed last night.
Her nose was a little tingling again, and she rubbed it.
Mama Yao looked outside the door, lowered her voice and asked, "Miss, how is the King of Chu ......?"
The sky was bright, and as soon as she went out, she saw a man standing in the yard, and she was almost so frightened that her soul flew away.
Did they sleep so hard last night, why did His Royal Highness the King of Chu enter the Weiguo Mansion, and no one knew it?!
What worries her even more is that the King of Chu will meet Miss in the middle of the night, and he won't do anything......
"I agreed with him to make a dinner for him." Xue Jinyi replied indifferently: "So, he came over, and then chatted for a while, and seeing that he was really sleepy, he slept in the west wing." Mama rest assured, King Chu and I didn't do anything. ”
Mama Yao looked at Xue Jinyi embarrassedly, but said with concern: "Miss, you and the King of Chu have not yet married, it is not good to have such a private meeting, it is not polite...... If someone finds out, it will not be good for you and him. Anyway, there are only ten days left, if you endure it a little longer, won't you be able to see King Chu every day? ”
"Hmm." Xue Jinyi casually agreed, not wanting Mama Yao to worry about herself.
Mama Yao smiled and took out the vegetable steamed buns from the steamer, "King Chu seems to like eating this steamed bun very much, and he ate three in one go in the morning." If it weren't for the fear that you wouldn't have enough to eat, I see, he would have eaten it all in this steamer. ”
Xue Jinyi covered her mouth and smiled, she was in a very good mood, so good that she didn't want to trouble Liang Dianzan today.
Mother Qin walked into the main courtyard quickly, saw Mother Yang waiting outside the door, "tsk" twice, thought of the note in her hand, and hesitated for a while.
It's hard to say whether this thing is true or not, in case it is fake and makes Mrs. unhappy, so why don't you let Mother Yang be the scapegoat?
But she soon came to her senses, and even if it wasn't true, it had to be done, so that Madame could be happy.
Having made up her mind, she shouted to Mother Yang: "Are you so idle? If you don't go out and find something to do, the Guogong Mansion is not a place to raise idlers! ”
Mother Yang said yes again and again, pretending to walk a few steps outside, but after seeing Mother Qin enter the house, she looked around and went back again.
Mother Qin came to Mrs. Xue, who was covering her forehead and looking ugly.
Since the decree of marriage, Mrs. Xue has been carefully preparing, asking almost everything, and her eyes are full of waiting for the day of marriage, so that she can see Xue Fangyi's beautiful marriage, and no one can match the limelight.
But since the prince's accident, because she facilitated the marriage between Xue Jinyi and the King of Chu, Queen Cai complained, Mrs. Xue's mood has become worse and worse day by day, how much she showed off the marriage between the prince and Xue Fangyi before, and now she has been ridiculed and ridiculed.
Those who were unsuccessful gloated, even if the future crown princess of the Weiguo Mansion was born, and she was insulted so much, it was actually better to die.
Originally, there was a gathering of famous nobles in the past few days, and it stands to reason that Mrs. Xue would definitely go, and at the banquet, she talked about how the marriage was arranged and how much dowry was prepared, but Mrs. Xue all said that she was sick and shirked it.
Even the entire Patriotic Mansion was lifeless, and it was so depressing that people couldn't breathe.
No, two days ago, a maid just accidentally hit the table and chair with her toes when she was delivering tea, and made a soft noise, so she was dragged out and beaten to death.
In the Great Zhou Dynasty, such a slave was beaten to death casually on the last charge, and the master would not be held accountable.
As a result, everyone has become more cautious in the past two days, and even the second wife, who has always liked to flatter in front of Mrs. Xue, does not appear much.
Mother Qin looked at the note in her hand again, settled down, and sent it to Mrs. Xue's hand.
"Someone came to tell the truth, saying that the King of Chu slipped into the Weiguo Mansion in the middle of the night and met Miss Jin privately."
"Huh?!" Mrs. Xue's eyes lit up, and a little joy finally appeared on her originally gloomy face, "Who is going to tell the secret?" ”
Mother Qin had a little headache about this question, and replied stubbornly: "According to the porter, it is a woman wearing a gray dress and a hat, and she can't see her face clearly. She stuffed the note and a piece of clothing to the porter, saying that it would be of great use to the Duchess of Weiguo, so she hurried to find me. ”
As she spoke, she placed a cut corner of her dress on the table.
Mrs. Xue looked at it and couldn't see why.
Mother Qin said, "Madam, look here. She turned over the corners of her clothes, revealing the word "Xuan" embroidered on the back, "In addition, the king of Chu likes to wear dark robes, and I see that the material and color seem to come out of the palace." ”
Mrs. Xue picked up the corner of her clothes and touched it carefully.
The embroidery is not newly embroidered, and the material is indeed like that in the palace.
Although the king of Chu is not favored by the emperor, he is the prince anyway, and Queen Cai will still give some things that should be given for the sake of her good name.
"Daring!" Mrs. Xue grabbed the corner of her clothes and the note, and slapped it on the table hard, "What kind of place is it when I am in the Mansion of the Patriotic Guard, and I dare to come in casually?!" There is also Xue Jinyi, a bastard thing, who is really a fox like her mother, who likes to seduce men! The reputation of our Patriotic Mansion will not allow her to be ruined! Go and call me from the nursing home! ”
Mother Qin said: "Madam, it is difficult to convict King Chu and Miss Jin with only these two things now, we have to arrest them, and see how they defend themselves when the time comes." If this kind of ugly thing happens, as long as they mix up a few more words, their marriage will definitely be stopped, and maybe Miss Jin will have to be killed. ”
When Mrs. Xue heard this, she calmed down and pinched her arm fiercely.
Yes, there is no real evidence to convict at this time.
Because of the events of this time, she almost fainted.
Mother Qin saw that she had calmed down, and took the initiative to offer advice in a low voice, "According to the slave maid, Madame might as well be like this......"
After the words, Mother Yang, who was standing outside the house, didn't hear a word, she frowned deeply, and her eyes showed hesitation.
Do you want to tell Miss Jin about this?
Mrs. Xue listened to Mother Qin's words, and finally showed a rare smile on her face, feeling a little more relaxed.
If this matter is done, Queen Cai's side will be happier, and the matter of climbing to the Cai family will be smooth.
"Just do it, be careful not to let that little fox slut notice anything." She admonished.
Mother Qin nodded again and again, "Madame, don't worry, Miss Jin won't be able to run this time." ”
