"What are you doing carrying a basket of purses?" Qingyu frowned and asked sternly.
Hongye shrugged. "Yes, it was Aunt Yang who instructed us. She said that the ladies might pass by here later, so she'd give each of them a purse, which would be quite fitting."
What occasion should it be for? Qingyu couldn't understand it. What occasion should a purse embroidered with red beans be for?
Isn't this just courting death? That stupid and vicious woman, Yang!
"Alright, alright, just leave the purse with me. You can go back to your job at Moyuan Academy."
I remember you served by Xiang'er's side, how did you get transferred here? Go back quickly.
Hongye curtsied and ran back home. Just as she reached the courtyard, she heard Aunt Yang scolding Xiang'er.
It seems the girl was scolded severely because the colors of the silk threads on her embroidered handkerchief were too varied. Even though she had added a few extra threads and the colors didn't look messy, she still received a severe dressing-down.
She felt somewhat bored and didn't want to go in too soon and get scolded along with the girl for some trivial, insignificant things.
Then he turned and ran, but he couldn't go towards the banquet, so he just wandered around the Moyuan Courtyard.
Several truckloads of green wheat have been delivered from the countryside in the past two days, and a large pile of wheat straw has been stacked at the entrance of the plum grove, not far from Moyuan Academy.
There was a large bundle of straw, clearly not yet thrown away, so she decided to go and hide in the straw to rest for a while.
It was soft and fluffy inside, and I fell asleep in no time. When I opened my eyes again, it was already getting dark.
Just as I was about to go out, I heard a familiar voice, "Does this work? I think the pills you gave me are smaller than the last ones."
"Don't worry, young lady, didn't we get things done last time?"
The voice sneered, "Last time I didn't need your pills. It was the young lady who told me to pour lamp oil and ice water so that I could get things done."
The man opposite bowed and smiled apologetically, "Well, at least my pills work, otherwise you wouldn't have come to buy them a second time, right?"
Chun'er thought to herself, "That's true. The girl used that pill on the cat last time."
Then, not long after, the cat started walking unsteadily, feeling dizzy and nauseous. It vomited for several days and eventually died.
Hongye hid in the pile of rice straw, not daring to move, her heart pounding.
It wasn't until the two of them finished talking and walked for quite a while, until it was completely dark, that Hongye dared to slowly crawl out.
After some effort, he tidied up the straw stalks and restored them to their original state. Then he quickly ran back to the yard.
When Fangli saw that she had come back so late, she secretly gave her a wink, telling her to stay close to the side.
Pretend you just came out of the house, so no one notices.
Hongye suppressed her anxiety and dutifully put on an act.
Then he grabbed Fangli's arm and started to walk into the house, whispering as they went, "Miss, come in with me quickly, I've found out."
Fangli's heart skipped a beat; she realized what she had said. However, she stopped in her tracks.
"Hongye, go to the tea room and brew me a pot of tea."
It has to be done openly and honestly, otherwise that wicked woman will become suspicious.
I heard Hongye carefully recount the conversation between Chun'er and the physician's son.
Fangli's heart sank to the bottom. She was glad that she thought Chun'er was a good person and never thought about her.
When her younger sister was injured, Fangli sent over two rare flowering plants during the Lunar New Year, which cheered Fangtang up. Fangli was quite grateful.
The target had always been Liu Xiang'er; I had guessed it was her long ago, but I never expected it.
After receiving the medicine, Chun'er secretly slipped into the girl's room and gave it to her. The girl was quite satisfied after examining it.
However, Xiang'er didn't take the pill herself; instead, she let her hold it.
"Next time Aunt Yang comes to see me, dissolve this medicine in the teapot and bring her some tea to drink."
Chun'er was a little scared, "What if...what if..."
Liu Xiang'er sneered coldly. Last time she fed a cat, but this is a living person. It's impossible for her to die like an animal.
"What are you afraid of? Second Madam is a grown woman, nothing serious will happen to her."
…………………………
Wang Xing was also feeling uneasy in his room after hearing the news of the banquet at his residence.
After hearing that his younger sister had been called to the front today, he couldn't help but wonder if Aunt Yang knew about it.
After carefully going through the matter, Wang Xing felt that he wasn't sure whether Aunt Yang knew about it, but the Marquis and his wife definitely did!
Get out, you must get my younger sister out. If she stays any longer and gets ordered around by Aunt Yang, will she even be able to save her life?
But we must come up with a suitable and reasonable method, otherwise, given the temperaments of Aunt Yang and the Third Young Master, they might hold a grudge against our family and then try some tricks.
Before he could come up with any ideas, he heard that Old Madam Hou had summoned Concubine Yang to serve him.
I don't know what he did wrong, but he was severely reprimanded by the old lady and confined to his quarters!
Even the second wife was dragged into this and received a severe scolding; for several days in a row, she was forbidden from paying her respects to the old lady.
Madam Zheng wiped away her tears again with a handkerchief inside the room and asked Zijing, "Has Master returned?"
Zijing shook her head, feeling saddened. She had gone to invite him three times already, but the master acted as if he hadn't heard her.
Madam Zheng was also filled with resentment. She knew that the master's plan was to make her suffer the old lady's wrath first.
I'll come back and sell some more when the old lady has calmed down.
But on what grounds? He was his own son, born of a concubine, not raised by Zheng Shi.
Now that something has gone wrong, they've all become cowards, leaving her to take the lead.
Thinking of the old lady's sarcasm, she couldn't help but wipe away her tears again.
When she was a young woman, she was a straightforward and unforgiving person who never did anything despicable. But ever since she married into the family, she has suffered humiliation every few days.
Listening to the old lady's words, which were almost an open and shameless outburst, both eloquent and shameless, and full of sweet talk and flattery, it was all quite ridiculous.
They were really pointing their finger at her, but she genuinely didn't know what was going on.
They didn't even know which young lady the third brother, that toad, had gone to provoke this time.
For the past two days, Aunt Yang has been avoiding his sharp edge, pretending to be sick and staying home. Two days later, the Second Master returned from outside.
Upon seeing his wife, he asked with a grin, "Mother, have you calmed down these past two days?"
The second wife had a long face and glared at him, refusing to answer any of his questions.
"Madam, you don't understand. It's not easy for our family to arrange marriages with other people. We're stuck in a situation where the other party is neither good enough nor good enough."
"If we can get on the good side of the Anbo family, my brother will have a good marriage, and Gu Yan will be able to find a wife of high social standing in the future."
Gu Jing doesn't need to worry about it; he's already mentioned the daughter of his superior at the training ground. The two families have already exchanged invitations.
Madam Zheng looked at the Second Master with disbelief. How could this man be so shameless?
The woman was able to find an old lady to dissuade them, yet he still shamelessly tried to climb up to her.
The Anbo family? He really dares to dream. Why would anyone want to be related to the son of a dancer by marriage?
Aren't you afraid of angering the Anbo family and having them chop him up with a knife?
She glanced at the second master again with surprise, gave a cold laugh, and refused to say another word.
She secretly planned to get Gu Jing's marriage arranged first.
Gu Yan should also find a suitable family to settle down with, so that if any scandals happen in the future, they won't drag her two sons down with them.
