Chapter 395 Yixiu 13
"... Have a good rest. When you're better, I have something to entrust to you."
Feeling something was wrong, Yinzhen narrowed his eyes and looked Yixiu up and down. Seeing that he didn't find anything wrong, he gave up and really got up and went to Baifulou.
After finally getting rid of him, Yixiu lay on the bed, but her smile became sarcastic.
With her understanding of Yinzhen, she could of course guess that he would not come to her for no reason. Coming to her at this time must be no good. If she had taken on these thankless tasks in the past, she would probably be excited and feel that this showed that the Fourth Prince trusted her abilities.
She is always willing to try her best for that little bit of so-called "being stronger than soft", but in the end she always ends up becoming a joke.
Just like in the previous life, it was clearly the concubine who punished Gan to kneel, causing her miscarriage, but Yinzhen was only concerned with comforting the guilty concubine and left everything to himself to deal with.
She tried her best to cover it up, but still had to face Defei's questioning and Gan's hysterical insults.
And what about my sister?
She lay in her warm bed, without having to do anything. Just by saying a few nice words, she gained a reputation for being gentle and virtuous.
Such a leisurely job is really enviable.
Yixiu lay on the bed, thinking silently.
"Concubine, there's a commotion over at Baifulou."
At this moment, Xiuxia lifted the curtain and walked in. She stood by the brazier and warmed herself up before coming over. There was obvious gloating on her face.
Jianqiu, who was sitting on the step knitting, also raised her head when she heard this. The master and servant exchanged glances, their eyes filled with interest. "How did this commotion happen? Gan-shi is already in that state, how could they still stir up trouble?"
"You know Concubine Gan's temper. She used to be restrained in front of Prince Beile. Now she has lost her child due to a miscarriage and her body is crippled kneeling in the snow. How can she continue to act like this?"
Xiuxia explained first, and when Yixiu gestured for her to sit down, she apologized and sat on the step, helping Jianqiu to sort out the thread while continuing:
"Jiang Fuhai said he could hear the crying and fussing inside through the door. A short while later, Prince Beile came out with a dark face and ordered the courtyard sealed off. No one was allowed to enter or leave the courtyard except for the servants and doctors who delivered meals every day."
"Ah? Then Miao Gege can't go out either?"
Jianqiu was startled, her smooth movements pausing for a moment. Beyond the main courtyard, besides the Baifu Building, the east and west wing houses also housed Miao Gege, who was friendly with the Gan family, and Song Gege, who had little presence at all.
Now they are all locked up and not allowed to come out? What did Gan say to make Yinzhen so angry?
Yixiu thought back to her previous life. She was the first to bear the brunt of Gan's attacks. Later, under her covert and overt instigation, Gan became dormant. She was also secretly involved in the death of Fu Jin. Unfortunately, Yixiu, who had been keeping an eye on her, had already collected evidence and made Gan her scapegoat.
Without me in front of her in this life, it seems that Gan couldn't hold back her anger towards Fujin, which completely annoyed Yinzhen.
"That's not the case. Miao Gege and Song Gege moved to Qi Gege's Wangyue Pavilion to make it easier for Concubine Gan to recuperate."
"Not only that, the prince also issued a verbal order, saying that Gan was extremely disrespectful to the wife, and considering her miscarriage, she was fined a year's annual salary."
"Senary?"
Now Yixiu was really curious about what Gan said. The annual salary was not just the salary in silver. It also included all the supplies for Gan, a concubine of a certain rank, including cloth, food, daily necessities, etc. for a whole year.
Although the women who lived well in the harem did not rely entirely on this, after all the deductions for the year were made, Gan was under house arrest and naturally could not see her family. She probably could not last a year relying only on the money she had left.
Yinzhen didn't want to teach Gan a lesson, but to let her die in Baifulou...
But what does this have to do with me?
Yixiu picked up the "Rising Sun" coin that Jianqiu had made and said with a smile, "It's a good idea to weave it together with the peace locket I got yesterday. Honghui will definitely like it."
As she spoke, she also became interested, picked up the red and black threads and casually drew a pattern called "Cold Plum Blossoms in the Snow", which was really beautiful.
Yixiu asked Xiuxia to bring out the rosewood and mother-of-pearl lacquer box from her suitcase. Inside was a variety of jade pendants. The master and the servant began to choose with great interest, and discussed which laces to match with which jade pendants. They made more than twenty pieces in the whole afternoon.
Let's not talk about Honghui's love for these little gadgets after he came back, let's just say that Yinzhen's mood on the other side was in perfect harmony with the snowstorm outside. Gan was indeed the one who could make even a good-tempered person like Fu Jin angry enough to punish her. She used to pretend to be considerate and gentle in front of him, but now she acted like a mad woman. How could he tolerate such a person living in his backyard?
Now that I think about it, it’s a good thing that the unlucky child is gone. Otherwise, with such a mother, he would surely have been a rebellious and rebellious child in the future.
Yinzhen was completely disgusted with Gan, but it was not appropriate for him to take direct action to deal with her now. After all, it was New Year, so he just left her in Baifulou to fend for herself.
Even so, Yinzhen, who was very angry, went to see Defei the next day. It was unknown what the mother and son talked about. Not long after they came out, Defei summoned Rouze's mother into the palace. The next day, Xiyu and Bouhua, who had served Fu Jin since childhood, left with Lady Juelu who came to visit Fu Jin.
For over a month after that, he didn't even set foot in the backyard, not even in Fu Jin's Ning Hua Hall. His actions had indeed frightened most of the women in the backyard; at least on the surface, everyone kept their heads down and behaved themselves.
But this certainly does not include Gan, who has been forgotten by everyone.
A woman who lost her child, whose enemy lived freely, and who was forced to wait for death.
Yixiu was well aware of Gan's madness, so she had someone secretly watching her from the beginning. This time, she didn't intend to do anything, but because of this, she couldn't be completely blind.
As soon as Gan Shi made a move, Yixiu knew about it. But she hadn't expected the other party's tactics to be so crude, and even more unexpectedly, such a crude method actually worked.
"Let's go, let's go quickly."
Yixiu waited for Jianqiu to finish the last stroke of the painting. She was sure that she looked extremely haggard, so she pulled Jianqiu and trotted all the way to Ninghua Hall. As soon as she entered the yard, she heard Rouze's painful wails. Yinzhen was sitting in the corridor with a sullen face.
