The doorman was scolded so badly that he couldn't even raise his head: "Madam Yun! I just said that the two adults refused to leave and insisted on coming into the mansion.
I think those two adults are not ordinary people. I am afraid that I might offend someone I shouldn’t offend and bring disaster to the master.
How about Aunt Yun and I go out to take a look? If it's an important guest, it won't be good to leave him alone like this."
After hearing this, Aunt Yun felt that this made sense, but she had just scolded the doorman, and now she felt embarrassed to follow his advice.
He glared at the doorman fiercely and said, "Just go and have a look. If it's not what you said, watch out for yourself."
The concierge quickly responded, "Yes, I'm relieved that my aunt is here."
Aunt Yun arrived at the door and saw the old Duke, the Duke of Zhenguo, and a baby of two or three years old who was holding a bottle and sucking on it vigorously.
Behind the baby was a dark-skinned boy of six or seven years old, and an old lady who looked energetic and had a rosy face.
Although she was a concubine, she had seen the world. When she saw the old lady dressed in extraordinary clothes, she did not feel any respect at all, but rather disdain.
No matter how prominent she is as the lady of the house, when you come to her place, it depends on her mood. Not everyone can enter the Situ Mansion.
This is the typical mentality of a villain. Once he gains power, he becomes arrogant and does not know how high the sky is or how deep the earth is.
"Who are you? Why did you come to our Situ Mansion? Do you have a visiting card?" Aunt Yun held her body and looked at the people in front of her casually, and asked nonchalantly.
The old lady stepped forward and replied, "We are from the Qin Palace, and that person is the Duke of Zhenguo. My granddaughter is the state teacher mentioned by the gatehouse, and we are here to do business."
"Business? What business?" Aunt Yun said in a mocking tone, "Now I am in charge of the household affairs of the mansion, how come I don't know that you are coming to the mansion to do business? My master is not here, and there is no one to entertain you. You should go back!"
The old Duke walked up to Chu Xiaoxiao, bent over and asked her, "If they don't let us in, what should we do?"
[Why is this so difficult? Black-headed! Go tell her. Monk Honghe has been captured by us. We all know what she wants.]
old lady:"......"
Wonderful! As long as we tell her what she did, she won't dare to refuse to let us in. The granddaughter is worthy of being the national teacher. She hits the snake at its weakest point. It's amazing.
The old Duke gave his granddaughter a thumbs up and said, "My Xiaoxiao is really capable. She is worthy of being the Imperial Master and is always in control of the situation. Hahaha! With your ability, everyone who comes before you will have to obey you."
Hearing the old Duke laughing so arrogantly, the Duke of Zhenguo didn't understand what was going on: "Old Chu! Why are you laughing for no reason?"
"Nothing, you'll know in a moment." The old Duke winked at him, "Just wait!"
Following the master's orders, the charcoal-haired man was careless, with a mocking look on his face, shaking one leg in a way that looked like he needed to be punished, and shouted to Aunt Yun: "Hey! Let me tell you! Monk Honghe has been captured by us, and we know everything about you."
As soon as these words were spoken, Aunt Yun's face changed drastically.
The doorman huddled in a corner, pretending to sweep the floor; he heard nothing.
Looking at the dark-skinned child in front of her in disbelief, Aunt Yun asked anxiously, "What did you say?"
As soon as the Duke of Zhenguo heard this, he understood what the old Duke had been laughing at. It turned out that he was laughing at this.
"The man was captured by the Duke of this country. I heard that the concubine of the Situ Mansion also has something to ask for. The Duke of this country brought the Imperial Master with him. Jiang Situ is an upright and good official. If his reputation is affected by the concubine, I don't know how much of the anger of Lord Situ can the concubine bear."
Aunt Yun was dumbfounded. Apart from her, the only one who knew about her going to ask Monk Honghe for help was her personal maid.
Neither she nor the head maid went out, so it was impossible for the news to spread outside. If Honghe had not been arrested, no one would know about her. It turned out that she came prepared. No wonder she said she was not here to find the master, but to find her.
The lady was in poor health and had no fertility. She only had one legitimate son in the family. She wanted to arrange a marriage for the legitimate son so that he would have someone to rely on when she got old.
She knew that her niece from her mother's side was of low status and it was impossible for her to become the mistress of the house. But what if her legitimate son fell in love with her niece from her mother's side at first sight and fell in love with her again?
When the wife dies, if the legitimate son marries someone else, the household expenses will definitely be handed over to the new daughter-in-law. Judging from the master's thoughts, there is no way he would make her the principal wife.
If the young lady was her niece, then she would be the old lady in the mansion in the future.
Therefore, the young lady must be his niece, not someone else. But young people's minds change very quickly, so he must think of a foolproof solution.
She heard that Monk Honghe was very powerful, so she went there with her maid that day. She spent ten years of her wife's life to get a talisman.
Just wait for the niece to come, burn her hair and talismans into ashes, and give them to the eldest son to drink, and the magic will be done.
Unexpectedly, my niece arrived before the imperial master.
If the master knew what she had done, would she still be able to manage the household affairs? Without the power to manage the household, who in the mansion would still look up to her?
It was fine when the old lady was alive, because she looked after him and the master had to show some respect to her. After the old lady died, the master ignored her completely. If it weren't for the poor health of the lady, he would have thrown her into some corner and never remembered her.
Fortunately, her niece has not arrived yet and the matter has not been implemented. She will never admit it, and Honghe can't do anything to her.
"Duke Zhenguo, your words are too polite. I don't understand or know Monk Honghe." Contrary to her usual attitude, Aunt Yun pretended to be calm.
The old duke and the old lady looked at each other without saying anything, but turned their gaze to their granddaughter.
They knew that their granddaughter would never give up.
Milk ball put down the bottle and looked at Aunt Yun, a smile in his big black eyes.
[The talisman that Monk Honghe drew for you is hidden in the third drawer of your dressing table in your room, wrapped in a piece of red gauze. The condition of the transaction is ten years of your wife's life.]
The charcoal-haired man looked at Aunt Yun and said, "You exchanged Madam Situ's ten years of life for a talisman, which is hidden in the third drawer of the dressing table in your room, wrapped in a piece of red gauze."
What? Aunt Yun's pupils shrank slightly. She couldn't understand how this black boy could know such a secret? Only she, Monk Honghe, and the maidservant beside her knew that the lady's life span was exchanged for the talisman.
But...
This little boy who was as black as coal saw through everything. How could she make excuses?
It's over. It's over.
If the master knew what she had done, he would definitely not let her off easily.
Plotting against the lady's life span is equivalent to plotting against her life, which is a serious crime.
If the old lady were still alive, she might be able to make some excuses, and the master would not take it too seriously for the old lady's sake.
Now that the old lady is gone, how can she escape this disaster?
