Chapter 86: Doubts
After discussing the important matters, the women from the fifth room had no excuse to stay any longer.
After all, they were rushing back to tell their fathers at home the good news.
Therefore, on the way back, the few of them looked so excited that everyone could not help but feel puzzled. Why didn't they know that the people in the fifth house had such close contacts with the East Garden?
Just keep in touch with each other, come and go with a smile, I wonder if the fifth room has gained some benefits in Dongyuan.
Not only the servants, but also the people in the third room felt suspicious when they heard the news.
Especially Erlang's wife, Guan, who has always been meticulous, is now talking to Sanlang's wife in her room.
"Have you heard? The people from the fifth room went to the East Garden. When they left, their heads were almost raised to the sky. What kind of magic potion did the people from the East Garden feed them? How could they become so good all of a sudden?"
Although she and Sanlang's wife had some conflicts recently because of Si Niang's affairs, they were still from the same family after all.
And since Sanlang's wife was willing to bow her head, she naturally wouldn't hold on to some small grudges from the past.
Now the people in the third house are united in their thoughts, all thinking of using their connections to send the fourth daughter into Prince Min's palace, so of course they have to be united.
After hearing what she said, Sanlang's wife also felt that something was wrong.
The people in Dongyuan have always kept a tight rein on the gates and never get involved in any outside affairs.
In particular, the eldest sister-in-law Liu basically avoided the people from the third and fifth rooms like the plague and had little contact with them.
Why has your style changed these days?
Could it be that the sixth brother-in-law wanted to unite the family, so she started with the fifth branch? So, I said something extra.
"Second sister-in-law, could it be that something happened in the Fifth House that has something to do with the East Garden, so they have such close contact?"
Erlang's wife was also a vigilant person. She immediately raised her eyebrows and couldn't help but speak doubtfully.
"Could it be that he also knows about the affairs of Prince Min's Palace?"
Since the Jia family knew this news, the Du family should also know it.
After all, in terms of wealth, the Jia family cannot compare to the Du family.
With all these associations, the expressions of Erlang's wife and Sanlang's wife were no longer as relaxed as before.
No one wants to give up the wealth that they have worked so hard to get.
Outside, they can all be relatives of the Duke's Mansion, and they can enjoy the glory of the Duke's Mansion anyway.
But inside the mansion, people live their own lives behind closed doors.
They didn't believe that the fifth room would benefit the third room after gaining this power, just as they would not share this enormous wealth with the fifth room.
This is what the saying goes: we cannot share the same hardships, and we may not necessarily share the same happiness, but when eating other people's food, we share a pair of chopsticks and don't mind the other person's dirty saliva.
Thinking of this, Erlang's wife became unhappy and said with a cold face.
"No, we must investigate this matter thoroughly. If the Fifth House and the East Courtyard really join forces, what will happen to the Fourth Lady?"
Originally, Shang Si Niang was far inferior to Shang Qin Niang.
If the fifth room really starts to think about competing for the throne, then wouldn't the position of concubine have to be handed over to someone else?
She doesn't want to.
Sanlang's wife has always disagreed with this matter, but seeing that her second sister-in-law was so anxious, she didn't say much.
If she were to say, if Shang Qinnan is willing, she could go and explore this blessed place on her own.
But she wouldn't be stupid enough to say such words a second time, so she kept her mouth shut and did not participate in the discussion of the matter any further.
After sitting for a while, he found an excuse and left.
After she left, Erlang's wife called Qin's mother beside her and gave her some special instructions.
"Go and find out what's going on at home recently. Especially the fifth room. Keep a close eye on them and see if they know about what happened in Prince Min's Palace."
"Yes, I understand."
After Qin's mother left, Erlang's wife still couldn't suppress the worry in her heart.
"It's better not to. Otherwise, don't blame me, your heartless second sister-in-law, for ruining your marriage."
Although he was talking to himself, the meaning directed at Shang Qinnan was obvious.
Unlike the third room which was facing a formidable enemy at the moment, Du Jingyi was taking a bath in Xitang Courtyard.
After sending away the people from the fifth room, she naturally had to come back and wash up, otherwise she would not be able to sleep well due to being tired from the journey.
The maids Yingtao and Lizhu were serving by her side, and they were even very careful in washing her hair.
Du Jingyi felt so comfortable that he almost fell asleep in the bathtub.
Seeing that she was not worried at all, Lizhu couldn't help but say more.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Madam, those people in the Fifth House are really good at taking advantage. They are clearly making clothes for Miss Seven, but Madam Five is like that, wishing to change the clothes for everyone in the Fifth House. It's really annoying."
"Okay, let's take her measurements. It's a simple matter. If she wants me to, I'm worried about the fur and fabric. It takes a long time to make winter clothes anyway, so there's no guarantee she'll be able to wear them."
Hearing this, Lizhu remembered that they had already drugged the fifth room.
It’s probably about these few days, and it’s time for it to break out.
In this way, some of the unhappiness in the indignation was eliminated.
Cherry said as she applied gel on her.
"The news that Young Madam has arranged to release has been prepared. I estimate that Madam Qin will be able to find out what she wants to know later."
"That's good. It will save us from Madam Wei's troubles every day. We should repay her kindness at least once. It's simply a foolish dream to think of getting rid of this relationship."
Hearing their lady say this, the maids Yingtao and Lizhu also nodded heavily.
They didn't have a very good impression of Madam Wei, especially her subordinate, Madam Jiao. Every time they saw her, they would be angry for a long time.
It's all because of her sharp tongue that I was stimulated.
She felt happy when she thought about what Yunjinyuan would face next.
Humming a tune, he continued bathing.
As expected, the "news" that Du Jingyi had just arranged was soon heard by Qin's mother.
She probably never dreamed that things had changed a long time ago in the Duke's Mansion where they had been domineering and arrogant for decades.
I still believe in the news I received.
So he hurriedly went to Erlang's wife's room.
"What do you mean? Do you really know?"
As soon as Erlang's wife saw Qin's mother's face, she knew something was wrong.
So he asked directly without her having to speak.
Mother Qin also had a very serious expression on her face, and then she told him the news she had heard.
"Young Madam is more cautious, otherwise we would have been tricked by the Fifth House. I spent some money to find out that the Fifth Old Master took the Fourth Master and the Fifth Young Master to Yunjin Courtyard half a month ago. I heard that they made a fuss for quite a while. The maids got close and heard some things. They said that Madam Wei had given the Fifth House an idea to ask the General and Madam of the East Courtyard to arrange a way out for the Seventh Young Lady."
"What's the way out?"
