Chapter 179: Wei Guogong is back
Xue Jinyi was in a trance, and she didn't come back to her senses until she returned to the Weiguo Mansion.
A maid led several people dressed as doctors to hurry past her, and they didn't care about saluting, and they had already run away.
She returned to the broken courtyard as if nothing happened, and saw someone standing at the door from a distance, and when she saw her approaching, she respectfully kowtowed to her.
The light of the lantern shone on the man's face full of gratitude and humility.
"Thank you Miss Jin for your support, the slave is willing to go to the soup for you in the future, and I will not hesitate."
Xue Jinyi looked at her once hideous and fierce face coldly, "Mother Yang, thank you for your reminder today." ”
On the ice cube brought back by Caiyun, there are a few words carved by Yang's mother - "Expose the private meeting, the Qin family will harm you".
It was so boring to let Mrs. Xue and Mother Qin wait for a scene in the arranged broken courtyard, she simply changed the place to Changchun Lake, and contacted King Chu and Pu Yangzhen through the shopkeeper of the wine store, and staged a good show in Changchun Lake.
Her goal was achieved, and by the way, Mother Qin died, and Mother Yang naturally returned to her original position and continued to be her most powerful confidant of Duchess Weiguo.
Fortunately, Mother Yang understood that Entu reported that she did not accompany Mrs. Xue who was ill at this time, and ran to her to show her loyalty.
This person can be used appropriately.
After all, he fell out of favor in front of Mrs. Xue, so he ran to her to flatter, and now he has replaced Qin's mother and regained power, who would dare to rest assured of such a half-hearted person?
"It's just that I don't know who is spreading rumors and making trouble, saying that I have a private meeting with someone?" Xue Jinyi asked, feeling like Mother Qin had made it up.
Mother Yang said: "The slave maid heard that it was written on the note handed over to the concierge by a woman wearing a hat. ”
A woman in a hood? Xue Jinyi thought of Zhao Wen'er for the first time, thinking of her infatuation, guarding the palace of the king of Chu day and night, and found that the king of Chu had not returned overnight, so she ran to expose it in anger.
Zhao Wen'er is really confused and stupid.
Xue Jinyi's face was as usual, "Everything is in the interests of the Patriotic Mansion. In addition, when the Duke of Wei Guo comes back, his wife is sick again, so you should keep an eye on it. ”
Mother Yang hurriedly responded: "Miss Jin, don't worry, the slave will arrange it." You are the eldest daughter of the grandfather of the country, have the affairs in the mansion been ...... to you these days?"
Xue Jinyi waved her hand, "I'm young and don't know much, you can deal with small matters by yourself, and tell the old lady if it is important, tell the old lady the news of Wei Guogong's return, and don't disturb the lady's recuperation." ”
Mother Yang owed, "Yes, Miss Jin." ”
"Caiyun, Mother Yang has a lot of affairs, you go and help out." Xue Jinyi went straight back to the courtyard, holding the teacup, and slowly walked around the pile of tattered boxes under the porch and into the side room.
Qinglan followed up and asked, "Miss Xue, what are you looking for, the slave maid is here to help you." ”
Xue Jinyi took a sip of tea, shook her head, and stared at the box without saying a word.
After a while, she slapped her head, put the teacup aside, and pulled out a triangular peace charm from the small bag on her body, which she had asked for when she went to Baiyun Temple.
"You give this to the king of Chu and wish him peace."
Qinglan asked, "Miss Xue, is that all there is to it?" ”
Xue Jinyi touched the tuanhua jade pendant and coughed lightly, "That's it." ”
"Yes......" Qinglan went out a little disappointed.
Xue Jinyi shook her head helplessly, did she want her to say that this was a return gift from the Tuanhua jade pendant?
Isn't this gift a token of love?
I'm going to make him a big-headed ghost. She strode back to the main room, and after washing, she heard the movement of Caiyun returning.
Caiyun said: "Even the imperial doctor has come to see it, and said that Mrs. is very sick this time, and she must recuperate for at least a month and take care of it, otherwise she may die one day." ”
"Oh?" Xue Jinyi smiled slightly, this disease sounds like she needs to be careful everywhere in the future, but she doesn't want Mrs. Xue to die of pain because of a headache so simply.
Caiyun said again: "Mother Yang asked someone to fence off the main courtyard, and no one was allowed to approach, disturbing Mrs. to rest." The slave and maid looked, I was afraid that even a fly outside would not be able to fly in. Before the slave came back, Mother Yang was going to Yunjiayuan to meet the old lady. ”
"Hmm." Xue Jinyi nodded with satisfaction, and called Qingzhi again, "When you go out with Qinglan tomorrow, stop by the rouge and medicinal herb shop in Dongshi and help me buy these things back." ”
Qing Zhi took the order.
Xue Jinyi stretched comfortably, Wei Guogong will come back the day after tomorrow, there is an old lady in big things, and she has to hurry up and prepare.
In the blink of an eye, on the day when Wei Guogong came back, everything was as usual inside and outside the house, but the second wife still noticed some abnormalities from the hurried footsteps, but after asking around, she couldn't ask a reason.
Xue Jinyi still went to Taoming Academy to learn the rules, and at lunch, she heard a report that Wei Guogong had entered the city and went directly to the palace to face the saint.
As soon as she finished eating, she returned to the broken hospital under the pretext that she was not feeling well.
The second wife had a lot of eyes, and she couldn't find an answer from the old lady, so she came to the hospital in the name of visiting the sick, and saw Xue Jinyi really lying on the bed with a pale face, a layer of sweat on her forehead, pretending to be concerned for a few words, and left helplessly.
As soon as the others left, Xue Jinyi jumped up from the bed and wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead.
She asked Qingzhi to buy some medicinal herbs, eat a little, and with her acting skills, she successfully deceived Liang Dianzan and his second wife.
Qinglan and Qingzhi took out brand-new clothes and jewelry from the cabinet, "Miss Xue, can the slaves help you dress up?" ”
"No, I'll do it myself." Xue Jinyi stared at herself in the mirror.
It only took two days to make a big change, but the opportunity was only this time, and she had to draw out Wei Guogong's guilt for his previous wife, and turn it into pity and love for her daughter.
Yesterday, the emperor went to Lantian County to hold a groundbreaking ceremony, and the queen and the prince should have also gotten there, but the emperor only brought Concubine De, which can be said to have given Queen Cai and the prince an invisible slap. And the king of Chu quietly withdrew before the foundation laying ceremony and returned to the capital, as if he had not participated in the resettlement of refugees at all.
Things are going well so far, how can she fail?
It wasn't until the end of the day that Wei Guogong's carriage and horse entered the fangmen, and the news came back to the house, and the second and third wives were shocked, didn't they say that they would not come back until another six or seven days?
When they hurriedly ordered people to prepare to greet Wei Guogong, Old Madam Xue appeared calmly and coughed softly, which actually quieted everyone in the hall.
After many years, everyone can still clearly feel the majesty of the old lady, and the second wife is so frightened that she forgot to ask someone to see Xue Jinyi.
Not long after, a team of carriages and horses stopped in front of the Weiguo Mansion, and a tall man walked into the main entrance of the mansion like the wind.
Under the corridor, the warm yellow light fell on a slender girl, and the bright and bright pomegranate red dress made his memory go back to more than ten years ago.
For a moment, he even thought that his long-dead wife had returned.
