Chapter 185: Throwing the blame on Concubine Zhang
"It seems that the Li family is very likely to use this opportunity to frame our Chengguo Mansion."
The old lady was a little worried.
Although they are a marquis' mansion, their son and eldest grandson are not in the capital. An Nan is still young and incompetent, and does not pose a threat to others. This is why many officials in the court are respectful to the Chengguo Mansion on the surface, but look down on it behind the scenes.
If the son is in the capital... humph, let's see who dares to come and cause trouble!
So, after all, it's not good to be without a man who takes charge of things at home! But going back to Beijing... is even more difficult!
The old lady was also very worried.
"Grandma, I caused this matter, and I will definitely solve it, and will never implicate our Chengguo Mansion!"
Xu Muhua said.
The old lady didn't want to hear this, and immediately frowned, scolding: "What are you talking about? Are we all cowards who don't have the responsibility, and we have to push you, a child, to deal with this matter? Are we afraid that you will implicate the Duke Cheng's Mansion and us?"
The old lady glared at Xu Muhua, as if she dared to answer, she would swing her rosewood cane.
Xu's mother also looked at her with a hurt and disappointed look on her face.
Xu Muhua knew that they had misunderstood... Well, what she just said might be easy to be misunderstood, but she really didn't mean it that way!
"Grandmother, mother, what are you thinking! Why would I think like that? What I mean is that I caused this trouble, so I will find a way to solve it! Because I am a member of the Chengguo Mansion, I cannot let the reputation of the Chengguo Mansion be tarnished because of myself."
"If I cause trouble outside and then blame you and hide myself, I would be so irresponsible and irresponsible. Wouldn't that be unworthy of your teachings?"
"And grandma, mother, don't worry, I have a way to deal with this matter. You don't have to do anything, just wait for the news!"
The old lady and Xu's mother were stunned. When they came to their senses, they forgot to pursue what she had just said. The old lady asked hurriedly: "What method have you thought of? Mu Hua, you can't do anything rash! Although your father and elder brother are not in the capital, there are still grandma and your mother! As long as grandma is here, no one can embarrass you! You must not do anything stupid!"
The old lady didn't believe that a little girl like her could come up with a good solution to the problem in such a short time. Even if there is, it is definitely not a good solution! Maybe she is ready to sacrifice now!
When she thought of this possibility, the old lady's anger, which had just subsided, immediately rose again. The hand holding the cane was very itchy, and she wanted to hit someone!
"Grandma! What are you thinking! I promise!"
Xu Muhua patted her chest and almost raised her hand to swear, "I definitely don't want to sacrifice myself. The Li family is not worthy of me sacrificing myself! The method I thought of is the best method, but I can't tell you now. I have to wait. Grandma and mother, just believe me, I won't do anything rash!"
In order to appease the two, she threw the pot on Concubine Zhang.
She lowered her voice and said mysteriously, "I entered the palace just for this matter. Concubine Zhang and Concubine Li have never gotten along, and the relationship between the Zhang family and the Li family is also very tense. The Zhang family and Concubine Zhang will not let go of such a good opportunity this time."
This...
The old lady and Xu's mother did not expect that this matter would also involve the concubines in the palace. If this is true, it seems possible.
"You and Concubine Zhang..."
Do the eldest granddaughter and Concubine Zhang have such a good relationship?
"Grandmother, you and mother can rest assured! Although Concubine Zhang is domineering and arrogant in the palace, she is definitely not a person who repays kindness with enmity. I have helped her a lot, and she should repay me."
"Nonsense!"
Xu's mother glared at her.
If such words were to spread to the palace and people heard it, it would be terrible.
In the eyes of those people in the palace, they are the only real nobles, the royal family, and everyone else is just an ordinary person. It is a blessing to be able to work for them and sacrifice for them! Not only are they ungrateful, but they also want something in return?
"Anyway, grandma and mother, just trust me this time, I promise I won't do anything rash!"
What could the old lady and Xu's mother do but trust her!
But privately, the old lady and Xu's mother began to think about it. No matter what, they still have to be prepared, just in case.
And Xu Muhua is of course going to ask her little intelligence agent!
And the reason why the people in Jingzhao Prefecture didn't find anything is thanks to her little intelligence agents!
Back in his room, Xu Muhua told Nanny Qian, "Mammy, keep an eye on Qiu Shuang. I will deal with her later!" He
originally wanted to keep Qiu Shuang and see when he could turn the tables on Xu Jinyu. Unexpectedly, this opportunity did not come. Instead, Qiu Shuang was bought by an outsider, and things that did not belong to her were hidden in her bedroom!
It seems that her mother did not clean up thoroughly last time, and there are servants in the mansion who are eating outsiders.
Li Gang's hands are too long!
His hands are so long that if he is chopped off, it can't be others' fault!
Nanny Qian immediately thought of what had just happened and her face darkened. "Don't worry, young lady. I'll go and keep an eye on her."
"Shi Liu, Wu Er, you guys go guard outside and don't let anyone get close. I have something to take care of."
Shi Liu and Wu Er went out obediently.
Xu Muhua then asked the master to sit opposite him and asked, "What's going on?"
The master first raised his paw and licked it before answering, "This master and Huzai were playing hide-and-seek today. Qiu Shuang probably thought that no one was in the room, so she sneaked in. Then this master and Huzai found that she hid something in the cabinet next to your bed."
"I knew she had bad intentions when I saw her sneaky look. Since this master has seen it, how can I turn a blind eye?"
So it and Huzai waited for Qiu Shuang to go out and close the door before running out, prying open the cabinet and seeing the things inside - although they couldn't understand what they were, they were not good things anyway!
So they hid the things.
Sure enough, something happened soon!
"This family has to be disbanded without the capital!"
The master concluded.
Xu Muhua: "..."
Yes, you are awesome, you are amazing, I give you a banner!
"Where are the things you hid?"
As soon as the words fell, the tiger cub took out something from its mouth and rushed towards Xu Muhua.
Xu Muhua couldn't dodge in time and was thrown onto the couch by it. It excitedly licked her and covered her face with saliva!
Xu Muhua: ...
