Chapter 15 Playing Tricks It
was a sin, it was a sin.
"Xiao Jian, she won't stop!" Mrs. Hu walked around the room for a few times, then called another Nanny Chen who replaced Nanny Qi, and said, "Hurry up, bring some refreshing soup, and follow me to Mozhu Garden!"
In Mozhu Garden, Xiao Jian leaned against the bed, and her face was indeed not very good.
Giving birth to a daughter consumed a lot of physical energy. In the past few days, although Nanny Jin and two maids took good care of her, Xiao Jian's heart was always tormented, painful and sad, so she not only did not gain weight during this confinement, but looked a little thinner, and her face did not get better.
Mrs. Hu arrived at Mozhu Garden and walked in quickly, a little anxious.
"Madam, why are you here first? Where is the general?" asked Nanny Jin.
"Well, Hong'er has been called away to do something. Lai Fu has already been asked to go and call him. Princess, how do you feel? I heard from Dongmei that girl that she ate mushrooms?" Mrs. Hu sat down on the bed and asked in a low voice.
"Oh, so hypocritical, mother, scare her a little!" Baby Ruoxi stretched her back and suddenly wanted to watch a good show. Xiaojian
's eyelids drooped. She was a little amused and helpless about her daughter's thoughts. The baby was so cute, just like her when she was a child.
"Yes, he ate mushrooms. My husband ate more than me at that time. Mother-in-law, where did my husband go? Let Hongmei go out to look for him. If my husband is poisoned somewhere else, it will be very dangerous!" Xiao Jian said.
"Ah, no, no need!" Hu was shocked. Her right eyelid kept twitching and she felt very bad.
"Hongmei, you should also look for him. Where can my husband be in the middle of the night? The homes of the Minister of War and the Vice Minister, as well as several people in the Ministry of Personnel, you are familiar with them, go!" Xiao Jian said.
"No, no, Hongmei, no need to go!" Hu immediately stood up to stop her.
"What's wrong, mother-in-law?" Xiao Jian asked with narrowed eyes.
"Does the Prince Consort have a house outside?" Aunt Jin stared at Hu and asked lightly.
"You, you are talking nonsense. Hong'er is devoted to the princess, how could he have a house outside?!" Mrs. Hu was not very eloquent, but she still tried to calm herself down, and then said: "He should be back soon. Lai Fu has gone to find him. Hongmei will take care of the princess here. Nanny Chen, bring the soup over!"
Hongmei deliberately took a few steps outside, and scared Mrs. Hu so much that she couldn't sit still.
Baby Ruoxi listened to her mother and Nanny Jin deliberately scaring Mrs. Hu, and grinned happily.
When Shangguan Jinghong came back, baby Ruoxi had already fallen asleep. She didn't want to look at such a scumbag father.
What's more, she is still a baby, and also his daughter. As a result, she went to see another daughter, which made baby Ruoxi feel uncomfortable. She didn't want this father anymore.
"Princess, what's wrong with you?" Shangguan Jinghong panted and begged.
"Whose house did your husband go to? How can we talk about official business so late at night? It must be Yan Duo's house, right?" Xiao Yao asked.
"Yes, it's his home!" Shangguan Jinghong said immediately: "His home, his wife just gave birth to a child not long ago, and he lives alone in the side courtyard, so we can talk about something!"
"Oh, it only took a quarter of an hour to get back to the general's mansion from Yanduo's house, but it took your husband more than half an hour. Did he crawl back?" Xiao Jian's eyes were dull, and he asked with a hint of sarcasm.
Shangguan Jinghong was stunned, and he always felt that Xiao Jian seemed to know something.
However, these days, every time he went to the small garden, he was very cautious. He had to turn a few corners before finally going in. He made sure that no one would follow him before entering the door.
How could he be discovered by others?
Besides, Lian'er never goes out. Usually, even when she buys clothes and jewelry, she asks others to do it. She just doesn't want to come into contact with others casually.
"Hey, look at this scumbag father. Does he think he has hidden it perfectly? You know, Dongju is not an ordinary person. Judging from the spiritual energy on her body, she must be a master above the middle level. They were trained by the Queen Mother since they were young, specially used to protect my mother!"
Nanny Jin chatted with Dongju and the others. Dongju also said that the Queen Mother specially asked Nanny Jin and Eunuch Gao in the palace to train them together, so that they could protect the master closely in the future.
Since Dongju and Hongmei's subordinates have clean backgrounds, most of them were rescued from near death or dangerous situations, so they are more considerate and loyal.
If Dongju wants to follow Shangguan Jinghong, how can he find out? !
"Yuer, don't be angry. It's all your husband's fault!" Shangguan Jinghong glanced at his mother. His pale face and shaky appearance made him feel distressed. He gave Nanny Chen a look and said, "Mother, you should all go and rest first. I'll take care of the princess here!"
"But, Hong'er, did you eat mushrooms? Are you poisoned? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Although Mrs. Hu knew why her son came back so late, she still wanted to care about him. After all, her son did eat something in Mozhuyuan and left at night.
"I'm fine, mother, you go back and rest first!" Shangguan Jinghong shook his head. He frowned and always felt that his mother was ignorant.
"My husband was not poisoned, but I was?" Xiao Jian looked at Hu Shi while speaking, with suspicion in her eyes: "Won't the old lady go and investigate thoroughly? What if someone in this mansion wants to harm me? If my mother and my brother find out, the general's mansion will be in danger!"
"Yuer!" Shangguan Jinghong's eyebrows jumped when she heard it. She knew that Xiao Jian was right. The mother and son in the palace had actually been taking good care of Xiao Jian in the past few years, but Xiao Jian had always been stubborn. Moreover, because of the control behind the mother and son, Xiao Jian and her mother and brother had no chance to meet.
"Princess, you can't say this nonsense. The servants in the mansion will be sad. If they are wrongly accused for no reason, they will not be loyal anymore." Hu Shi said immediately.
"If you are not loyal, then sell it out. How come you, as the mistress of the house, don't you have even this little courage?" Nanny Jin said lightly.
"Ah, I'm old, so I should be more kind... I, I'll take my leave first, princess, my old waist is not so good!" Hu almost took her leave while backing away. When she finished speaking, she had already reached the door. She turned around and ran away in a flash.
Shangguan Jinghong served the princess without taking off his clothes until dawn.
In the morning, Shangguan Jinghong was so sleepy that he almost fell down in the hall. After the morning court
, his colleagues asked him about it, but he didn't know what to say.
He would not reveal anything about the princess to these gossipy people, for he was afraid that it would get to the ears of the empress dowager and the emperor. If the empress dowager knew about it, she would definitely send someone to go.
