After 413: Will the Crown Princess Be Angry?

After turning into the long alley, Cao Qing did not stop. He took a detour and returned to the opposite side of the previous intersection. He hid in a corner and stared at the entrance of the alley.

The sky gradually darkened. Cao Qing was very patient and had no impatience. After waiting for most of the day, he finally saw the familiar figure again. From where he stood, he could see her face clearly. Even if she changed her clothes, that face was undoubtedly Princess Runyi.

Cao Qing followed from a distance, fearing that there were still people following in the alley. He did not dare to get too close. He watched Princess Runyi's car enter the Guangping County Prince's Mansion, and then turned back.

Cao Qing did not have the East Palace token, so he could not enter the East Palace directly. Zhan Qiao was working in the East Palace at this time. It would be too late to teach him out at this time, so he went directly back to the Duke's Mansion to find the Third Master.

The Third Master was very angry today. The letter from the Weng family made him very angry. Aunt Weng did not shed a single tear, but the way she tore the letter into pieces scared the Third Master.

The Third Master had seen Aunt Weng cry many times, but this was the first time he had seen her not cry. He was afraid that Aunt Weng would be so angry with the Weng family that she would be upset. He had been waiting all day before returning home.

As a result, when he returned home, he was ridiculed by his wife again. This life was really miserable.

He had never had much to say to his wife. His wife was too sharp and two out of three sentences were always sharp. The relationship between the two of them eased from the children's marriage.

It was also because they were so old that the Third Madam was too lazy to argue with him, or maybe his wife just didn't like Aunt Weng. When she was not around, she made her angry, and her temper became more peaceful.

Today, when he told Aunt Weng about Aunt Weng, his wife hesitated and asked him to take Aunt Weng back to the mansion first, which scared him again.

He also knew that his wife didn't pity Aunt Weng, but was afraid that Aunt Weng would have something bad happen to her, and Xixian and Su Chu would have a hard time.

Xixian was better off as she had already married, but Suchu hadn't married yet. If his aunt suddenly died before he got married, it would inevitably cause suspicion.

The third master sighed in his heart and felt that he might have been really blind in his early years. Although his wife was not good at picking on others, she was still very soft-hearted.

However, Aunt Weng could not be brought back yet, so he explained it to his wife roughly.

Madam San was stunned at the time. She didn't expect there were so many twists and turns here.

At this time, the third master was meeting Cao Qing, and Madam San was also talking to her housekeeper, Mother Qin.

"Do you think I should go to the farm to see her?" Madam San was very entangled, and her eyebrows were wrinkled into a "川" shape.

Mother Qin was shocked when she heard this, "Madam, why do you want to visit Aunt Weng for no reason? Isn't this a good idea?"

The third wife's eyebrows were still furrowed, "If it had been two years ago, Aunt Weng would have ended up like this, I would have clapped my hands and cheered. You said, after Xixian got married, she always asked people around her to send me things, a new piece of material today, a new snack shop tomorrow that has delicious food, anything good she thought of me. Su Chu has been in the south for so long, every time Whenever he writes home, he always says hello to me. When he sends gifts home, he always prepares something extra generous and thoughtful for me, his stepmother. He is more considerate than my own children. After the Third Master said that, if something really happens to Aunt Weng, how can I tell the children when Su Chu returns to Beijing in the future? "

Mother Qin sighed in her heart when she thought of the Fifth Lady and the Fifth Young Master. She had to admit that Aunt Weng was lucky. When she was young, she relied on the Weng family to bully others. Now she is old, her children help her to gain face in front of the Madam.

"I think Aunt Weng is too embarrassed to see the Madam now. If the Madam is really worried, why don't I go there for you tomorrow?" Mother Qin advised softly.

Aunt Weng is such a face-saving person. If the Madam goes there now, she might think that the Madam went to see her joke. It would be bad if she made a scene again.

The Third Madam thought about it and said to Mother Qin: "I really don't want to see Aunt Weng's face. Although she is pitiful, you can go there for me. Tell Aunt Weng that for the sake of the two children, she should be allowed to return home in a decent manner after this incident is over."

"Ah, Madam, you are just hard-mouthed but soft-hearted. It is rare to see you treat your concubines like this in the whole capital." Mother Qin smiled and flattered a few words. God, the relationship between Madam and the Third Master has finally eased, and it can't be worse than before.

The third wife curled her lips, "If it weren't for the eldest sister-in-law's advice, I would soon be a mother-in-law, and I would have to set an example for my future daughter-in-law, and I would be too lazy to bother."

Mother Qin smiled, "It's also because Madam Xiang knows your temper, otherwise she wouldn't advise you this, because you supported the marriage of the fifth lady and the fifth young master, and now many families are asking the eldest wife about the marriage of the third young master, all of which are earned by Madam's kindness."

The third wife was also a little proud when she heard this. Everyone said that she had a bad temper, but her son and daughter had a good future. Besides, even if her husband favored Aunt Weng, he didn't embarrass her as the legal wife, but the couple didn't have a heart-to-heart time in their lives. She used to feel sad, but now she doesn't care anymore.

The Third Madam thought about this and looked at Mother Qin and gave her another instruction, "Jing Mo is about to give birth. I want to send Mother Fu over here and have her come back after she gives birth. Before you go to see Aunt Weng, go to Xixian first and tell her that I will also let Mother Fu come over when she is about to give birth. You said that the mother-in-law at home is not supportive and makes people upset. It is not good to be too smart. Xixian's marriage is good in every way, but when it comes to big things, her mother-in-law is of no use at all."

"Having a baby is a big deal, but Madam is very considerate. The fifth girl will feel at ease knowing that you have arranged this." Mother Qin said with a smile.

The third lady sighed, "Why do I feel that the older I get, the more things I have to do and worry about? It's better to be at ease when I was young. Come on, you can go down and have a rest. I'll meet you early tomorrow." It’s going to be a hard day before you go out.”

Mother Qin responded with a smile, "Old slave, it's just a matter of running a few steps. It's not too hard anymore. I'll wait for you to rest first before leaving."

The third lady was upset and held Qin's mother's hand into the inner room. As she walked, she asked, "Is it the guard beside Xin Yi who came to see the master?"

Mother Qin served the third lady to change, nodded and said, "That's him."

"If you come here at this hour, wouldn't something happen?"

"The Crown Princess is so powerful, maybe she has other things."

"That's right, the Crown Princess of our family is not someone who can suffer a loss." The third lady smiled, "You tell the girl to be alert and call me immediately if something really happens. My heart is worried day by day. I don’t know when it will end.”

"Madam, the second young master's wedding will only take place in these two days. The young masters will definitely come back. When the third young master comes back, you will be able to relax."

The third lady lay down and said, "I hope so. His marriage should be settled and we can wait until he comes back to see each other."

"The girl Mrs. Xiang is interested in has no choice in terms of character. It just depends on whether the third young master can get along with her. You just have to wait for the good news."

The third lady closed her eyes. She was busy with all the things she had to do one after another. "You can go too and just put down the tent."

Mother Qin agreed with a smile, put down the tent gently, turned out the lights in the room, leaving only one in the corner, and then quietly retreated.

The third lady couldn't sleep for a while, and she tossed and turned for most of the night.

On the other side, the third master listened to Cao Qing's words and took him to find his eldest brother without saying a word. The second master also rushed over after getting the news. After discussion, the three brothers decided that this matter should not be taken lightly.

"Princess Runyi's side has always suspected that she is related to King Yi, and now this is a good opportunity to find out." Uncle Su looked at the two younger brothers, "In this case, second brother, you have someone keep an eye on her, and third brother knows You go find Zeng Liang. Last time I dealt with him, I think Zeng Liang can be used. Regardless of his age, he is quite capable. He can handle things that are difficult for us to do. "

"Brother, Zeng Liang's plan is not small, you have to think about it carefully."

"I just want to find a way out for his people. This is not difficult for us in the army. As long as we can endure hardship and are not afraid of death, we can always get ahead." The second master smiled and then looked at Brother, "Brother, you don't have to worry, I can arrange people over there. I think Zeng Liang must have had this idea. Look at him, giving his right-hand man to Zhanqiao and Cao Qing, this can be a waste of time." of?"

Uncle Su nodded, "He is quite affectionate, which is rare among the lower classes. Just do it if you can."

The three brothers agreed to split up, and that night Cao Qing led the way and the people around the second master took the token and touched it.

Early the next morning, the third master asked his attendant to go to the Yamen to take a leave of absence. He went to Qingjinfang to find Zeng Liang. The old man was leaning against the wall to bask in the sun. In this cold weather, the third master couldn't squat on the street. He talked to him and took him to Yiyuanju for breakfast.

Who would have thought that Zeng Liang would not go? How could a beggar sit in a restaurant? There is no such rule.

The third master laughed so hard that he had to order a table of food to be delivered to Zeng Liang's courtyard. The two of them closed the door and ate, drank and talked.

The third master is straightforward and makes his words clear directly.

Zeng Liang:......

This is really not a family that does not come into the same house. Su Xinyi was so straightforward when he came to do things with him.

This family is straight-forward, so it's hard to get him to negotiate terms and shut up.

After taking a sip of wine, Zeng Liang felt hot from the soles of his feet to the pit of his heart. Zeng Liang then raised his head and looked at Mr. Su, and said secretly: "When people get old, they have little hope in life. It's those boys who make people... I can’t let it go. I can’t be a beggar like me all my life. I’m not lucky enough to meet a noble person. They are different. I’m lucky. The people in your house are all kind-hearted people. With the words of the third master, I feel relieved. ”

The third master almost spat out his drink after listening to Zeng Liang's words. This man also said that he was not doing well and that he was a beggar. Who wouldn't give him a thumbs up?

There is a saying that a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake, and Zeng Liang is the snake with the toughest skin in Qingjinfang.

The third master cursed in his heart, but said: "We should still take the same path as Tian Zao and Bao Datong, but this time we don't have to go to the border. I will arrange for them to enter the various health centers in batches. Can they succeed in the future?" , it depends on their own abilities.”

"Of course." Zeng Liang gritted his teeth and said with a smile, "It's a great blessing for them to be given a way out. If you can't get ahead if you seize the opportunity, it's better to come back and become a beggar."

The third master was happy. Zeng Liang was an interesting person. "As for King Yi's affairs, I will leave it to you to keep an eye on." At this point, he looked at Zeng Liang meaningfully, "I know, you have always Let people keep their eyes on that, and if they can work together to eliminate this evil, they will be credited."

Zeng Liang immediately understood that as long as his people made contributions, the Su family would not take their credit. With this achievement, you will have a foundation to stand on in the future.

Zeng Liang felt that he had a good vision. When he first cooperated with Su Xinyi, he never expected that he would have such luck.

The cubs are indeed luckier than him.

After the third master left, Zeng Liang knocked on the wall, and soon several teenagers in his fifteenth and sixteenth years pushed the door in and shouted respectfully, "Grandpa Zeng."

Zeng Liang nodded, "Did you all hear it?"

Several teenagers nodded at the same time, and their eyes lit up.

"Then why are you still dazed? Go ahead and do what you should do. How do you usually teach me? The road has been paved for you. It is your own business how to walk and how it will turn out. Go away."

Several teenagers looked at each other, knelt down and kowtowed at the same time, then turned around and opened the door and left.

As soon as the person left, Zeng Liang took a breath. When people get old, they tend to become soft-hearted. I thought that if I took his lead and didn't peel off a layer of his skin, I would be treating him favorably.

Zeng Liang poured himself a glass of wine and hummed a new opera excerpt from Yuande Theater, shaking his head uncomfortably.

Su Xinyi got the news a little late. Zhan Qiao went to meet with Cao Qing first. He didn't expect so many things to happen in one night, so he hurried back to report.

Su Xinyi was also surprised. She had just received news from Yuanhui Palace that the Guangping County Prince's Palace would cancel the engagement. The Queen Mother told her not to worry, and that things would be completed harmoniously.

Unexpectedly, Yan Qiongsi left the palace and went to see others. It is not yet sure whether the people in the courtyard belong to King Yi, but Su Xinyi thinks it is almost the same.

"Princess, what should we do next?" Zhan Qiao's eyes were full of eagerness. He had long been fed up with the Guangping County Prince's palace that kept messing with things. Now that he had this opportunity, it was best to suppress him in one fell swoop.

He was just worried that the Queen would be angry with the Crown Princess if she knew about it.

Su Xinyi thought for a while and then said: "People in the East Palace should not make any moves, and you should be careful when meeting Cao Qing. Since the family has found Zeng Liang, let's wait for news."

Zeng Liang, she didn't expect that she would really risk everything for the people under her command. She didn't seem to be such a kind-hearted person when she first met her. She didn't expect that after a few years, his heart was a little different from before.

"What if King Yi is targeting Zeng Liang?" Zhan Qiao asked worriedly.

Su Xinyi sneered, "Wouldn't that be better?"

She was just waiting for King Yi to take action. If he didn't move, that was the most upsetting thing.

If you are not afraid that he will move, you are afraid that he will not move.
