Wen Family Has a Wife

The old woman who got the kickback was overjoyed, wishing that the two vegetable sellers would disappear immediately, and eagerly drove them out of the back door. With a bang, the back door closed, and the two hidden guards pushed the cart away slowly. Speaking ill of the old lady in a decent manner, that appearance is no different from ordinary people in the market.

When they were far away, the two hidden guards stopped and released Bailiqing.

Bailiqing sniffed the smell on his body with disgust, hurriedly climbed over the wall and went back, washed it inside and out several times, and smoked sandalwood to make sure that he didn't have those disgusting smells on his body before it subsided.

The two hidden guards asked inexplicably: "Master, did you gain anything last night?"

"Do you want us to visit again?"

Bailiqing waved his hands, and said in a serious voice with a straight face: "I can't leave the capital for the time being, one of you will go to Lingnan and hand over the letter to Shizi yourself. Also, don't startle the snake."

The two hidden guards complained secretly, you made such a fuss last night that you already startled the snake, but they thought about it and let it go, and they dared not say it publicly.

It was only when the sky was bright that the maids of Chen's mansion realized that Nurse Ye was tied up and struggling on the bed, and she screamed in fright.

The finally calm Chen Mansion was boiling again.

Chen Kun asked his servants to bring Nanny Ye to his room, and asked sharply, "What happened last night? Who made you like that?"

Mother Ye has a pale face. She doesn't trust Chen Kun anymore, so naturally she won't tell him the details, she just said: "There is a woman dressed as a maid who asks me about the weakness of my imperial concubine. I broke one of my fingers, and I fainted from the pain, and when I woke up, it was dawn, and the man was nowhere to be found."

"That's it?" Chen Kun obviously didn't believe it.

Ye Momo sneered and said, "Otherwise, what else does the elder think? The old servant wants to ask, the mansion was just assassinated, and the guards as promised are so strict! A maid can easily sneak into the mansion and do whatever she wants, someday If that person touches Mr. Ge's yard, I don't know if you are so lucky!"

"You curse me!" Chen Kun narrowed his eyes dangerously.

Sister Ye took a deep breath and said with a straight face, "This old slave is just telling the truth."

"Huh!" Chen Kun snorted dissatisfied, thinking that there is no credible woman beside him who can enter the palace to contact the noble concubine, and he is more and more aggrieved. In addition, Nanny Ye is still useful, she can't die, and she knows too much. It's not safe outside the palace, so I had to insist: "After a while, the old man will send you back to the palace, and the old man will talk about it on his own. Remember, what should be said and what should not be said!"

When Mother Ye heard the words, a bright light flashed in her eyes, she didn't continue to argue with Chen Kun, as long as she could return to Concubine Ling, it didn't matter if she humiliated her.

The city was full of undercurrents, and as the first month passed, the murderer of the fifth prince and the seventh prince had not yet been found. The emperor's mood became more and more gloomy and moody day by day, so that the civil and military officials also restrained themselves a lot and did not dare to trip each other up.

Entering February, the ground that has been frozen for a winter has softened a lot, and it is ready for spring plowing.

Chen Ningya and the others were on the farm, so they focused on the farm work. The women and children had a great time playing, as if they were picking chrysanthemums and seeing Nanshan leisurely under the eastern fence.

At the same time, the dark guards who went to Lingnan also successfully met Xiao Ding, the son of Lingnan Prince.

In the courtyard, a man wearing a brocade robe with a very Lingnan style, leaning lazily on a reclining couch, with a pile of melon and fruit snacks beside him, behind him were a group of serving maids, serving tea, pouring water, and holding umbrellas There are those that repel mosquitoes, those that pinch shoulders and beat legs, and those that burn incense.

The dark guard stepped forward respectfully, bowed and bowed, and said, "Report to Your Majesty, the young master ordered the younger one to deliver a letter to you."

Xiao Ding's half-closed eyes slowly opened, calmly, "Any news?"

A lazy voice sounded slowly.

The dark guard directly took out the letter and offered it with both hands, "Yes!"

Xiao Ding snorted lightly, and the maid beside him immediately took the letter and presented it in front of Xiao Ding.

Xiao Ding waved his hand, signaling the maid to step back, opened the envelope unhurriedly, and only then read the beginning,

His eyes narrowed immediately, he sat up straight unconsciously, quickly read the letter, stood up abruptly, walked out of the yard, and headed for Princess Lingnan.

As soon as he stepped into the back garden, Xiao Ding had already heard his good sister Xiao Yuyan's trumpet-like voice, "Mother Concubine, this is made by my sister-in-law for you, and it is many times more delicious than any authentic Beijing dim sum. What's even more rare is that this is my sister-in-law's filial piety, if you ask me, it must be because my sister-in-law cooks delicious food!"

Xiao Yuyan glared at Chen Xiaodie arrogantly, full of provocation.

The eldest concubine Pu Ya smiled very gently, and persuaded: "Okay, Yuyan, my cousin also wants to be filial to my mother and concubine, and has no other intentions. Whether the food is good or not, it's all from my heart."

Chen Xiaodie twitched the corners of her mouth, her smile didn't reach her eyes, if she had known this little ancestor was here, she wouldn't have come.

Princess Lingnan said appropriately: "What the concubine Shizi said is true, whether it tastes good or not is all a matter of heart, there is no need to compete with each other in everything, Xiaodie, the child Yuyan is spoiled by me and the prince, what does she say? Don't take it to heart."

Chen Xiaodie obediently responded, just as Xiao Ding came over, she quickly stood up and saluted, "Cousin."

Xiao Ding didn't bother to talk to her, and didn't notice Chen Xiaodie's flash of surprise, but Pu Ya and Xiao Yuyan noticed it, they looked at each other, Pu Ya shook her head at her, Xiao Yuyan angrily said nothing. Say nothing.

Princess Lingnan looked at her precious son with a smile, and asked lovingly: "Have you eaten yet?"

Chen Xiaodie looked at the dim sum she had made, but hesitated to speak.

Xiao Ding nodded, and replied firmly: "Mother, there is news from the capital."

Princess Lingnan stood up in shock, and asked, "What news?"

Xiao Ding glanced at Chen Xiaodie, and said in a deep voice, "A lot."

Princess Lingnan calmed down slowly, took a deep breath, and under the gaze of everyone, said calmly, "Then tell me one by one."

Xiao Ding didn't talk nonsense, he lowered his eyes and said slowly, "The fifth prince was killed at the palace banquet on New Year's Eve, and the seventh prince was poisoned. The murderer has not been found out yet."

"Concubine Ling's son is dead?" Princess Lingnan seemed to have heard something unbelievable, even Chen Xiaodie also looked dull.

Xiao Ding didn't give them time to digest, and continued: "The emperor ordered an old lady to enter the palace, and that old lady went to Fengxian Palace, and confronted Concubine Ling face to face, saying that she is the young lady whom the Chen family has raised for more than ten years. Concubine Ling is a fake."

"What did you say?" Chen Xiaodie was already in a daze, her mind seemed to explode and she couldn't think.

Xiao Ding didn't respond to her, and went on to say: "The old lady was assassinated after leaving the palace."

Hearing this, Princess Lingnan felt inexplicably tense, and asked, "And then?"
