Chapter 493
Imperial City, Xiaoliu Street, Qin Mansion.
These few concierges who came to the Qin residence could feel the oppressive atmosphere in the house. When they passed by the moon gate, they could sometimes hear some crying inside, and they didn't know if it was the maid or the young lady crying.
What's even more frightening is that every time the master comes back these days, his face is ashen, as if he is worried about something important.
Yesterday, the dog at home barked a few more times and was almost thrown into the pot. Now it is still hiding in the firewood room and dare not come out, scared to pee several times.
It was as if a dark cloud had shrouded the Qin residence, and the people below were all trembling.
Just yesterday, I heard the news that a lady in the family was being bullied outside. Needless to say which lady it is, the servants can guess it. The one who has only been out recently is the lady from the third room, Qin Xiangyu.
The servants secretly read more jokes and less sympathy. This Miss Xiangyu was not kind in the Qin family, she was always very harsh to the servants, she often beat and scolded her, she didn't have a good face. It's even worse for slaves. They don't treat slaves as human beings. Three or five slaves die in the Qin mansion every year, and it's basically Miss Xiangyu who is beaten to death by people.
Just beating a slave to death is like smashing a vase you don't like with a hammer. It's not rare, if you have money, you don't care.
It's just that people are more careful with this Miss Xiangyu for fear of offending the other party.
Such a fierce young lady is very much loved at home, Palace Master Qin's family members are very generous to her, even the master, who would often give her some rare gadgets to show their closeness.
Why did the head of the Qin family treat a young lady from the Sanfang family so well? Even raised in Dafang's house all the time? This is actually not a secret, it has been heard several years ago that Miss Xiangyu has already engaged the fifth prince, and she is going to enter the palace as a side concubine in the future. This position is predestined to be superior to others.
However, in view of Miss Xiangyu's impression among the servants of the Qin family, there are some people who say good things about her, but they only say that they don't like this person in private. What is there to be proud of? I heard that the fifth prince's daughter is not younger than her."
But it was such a lady of the Qin family who was scheduled to be superior to others and was going to enter the palace in the future. It is said that this time she was dealt with badly, as if she was picked up from Xuan Qingwei's dungeon.
I don't know who spread the news. Anyway, the guards who went to pick up Qin Xiangyu were all met with seedlings. They were kicked out of the house, not to mention their legs were broken. In the future, apart from returning to the countryside to work in agriculture, they might spend time in the imperial city again. I can't go down. But in the end, it is still uncertain who leaked the news out of his mouth, but it scared the servants of the mansion enough.
Behind the Moon Gate, the backyard.
Only a dozen red brocade fish were released in the fish pond last month, each of which is more than a foot long, swimming slowly and lazily, but the color is bright, swimming in the water is very beautiful, mixed with the The white-flowered carp in the pond is more like a ribbon, which makes people feel happy after seeing it.
A winding walkway has been built on the fish pond, and there is a beautiful gazebo in the center of the pond. Now it is evening, and the night breeze is cool, which is a good time to enjoy the cool air in the gazebo.
Light the mosquito coils, enjoy the cool breeze, listen to the chirping of cicadas around you, and the twinkling stars in the night sky, not to mention it really makes people feel bright and comfortable.
At this time, a few servants stood outside the fish pond trail and waited far away, not daring to approach, while a man and a woman were talking in the pavilion in the pond.
The two look somewhat similar, and they are not too young. The woman is sitting on a chair in the gazebo, shaking a painting fan, describing her comfort. The man was standing, holding on to the fence of the gazebo, with a look of anxiety on his face.
"Eldest sister, why don't you go to the palace to talk to the queen again, and explain?"
This man's name is Qin Xiuyuan, and the current third bedroom of the Qin family is a matter of concern. Sitting next to him was the Qin family's daughter, Qin Yurou, who had undergone major changes in her husband's family after getting married and returned to her mother's family.
Qin Xiuyuan is three years younger than Qin Yurou. He has known that his sister is very powerful since he was a child, and has always respected her. Now that his daughter encounters such a bad thing, he also wants to ask her elder sister to help her deal with it.
"Xiangyu was named by me. I gave her my own "Jade". Naturally, I like that child very much, but the impact of this incident is really too bad. Where is Xuanqingwei? It's not that I don't know, are there any serious people in it? They are all black-faced and cruel-hearted people, and they are so courageous.
Xiangyu being imprisoned in such a dirty place naturally stained her reputation, even if she is still perfect now, it would not sound good to outsiders. I think it will be difficult for her to enter the Shou Wang's door again. "
Qin Xiuyuan naturally understood what my sister meant, but things can't just be left alone, can they? If the marriage contract with the royal family is lost, then Qin Xiangyu's reputation will be completely stink in the future. Who would dare to marry her? Even the Qin family will be affected. Isn't it all because of the sad uncle's face recently?
It is not suitable to follow anyone's path now, only pressing down from the top, and taking the queen's path is a little more feasible. As long as the marriage contract is kept, Qin Xiuyuan feels that it is completely acceptable to pay some price.
"Eldest sister, you are deeply loved by the empress. You are the only one who can freely enter and leave the harem. Xiangyu can only rely on your aunt's help, otherwise Xiangyu's life will be really ruined. Elder sister, you can help her Give it a go!" Qin Xiuyuan bowed again as he spoke, without caring about his face.
Qin Yurou stretched out his hand to help the other party, sighed, and said after a long time: "Forget it, I'll put this face on and go to the harem for a while. But I can say the ugly things first, this matter involves the face of the royal family, whether it is successful or not Two words. If things go wrong in the end, you have to be mentally prepared, you know?"
"As long as the eldest sister is willing to help this favor, it must be guaranteed, hehe." Qin Xiuyuan straightened his back when his sister agreed, and smiled cheerfully. He knew how close his elder sister was in front of the queen, as long as he passed the words, and Qin Xiangyu was clean, the queen would probably nod and ignore the gossip outside, then this marriage would not cause trouble again.
Qin Yurou pointed to her younger brother with a smile, and shook her head as a compliment. Indeed, she is confident that the queen will stabilize the previous marriage between the Qin family and the fifth prince.
"But this matter can't be left alone. Xuan Qingwei is really deceiving people too much. I suspect that Fengri City is using it for private use. Eldest sister, it may still be aimed at you!" Qin Xiuyuan also sat on the chair . However, the words did not change the topic, and even pointed to the root cause of the Qin family's embarrassment this time.
"I don't want to get involved in this matter, do you understand what I mean?"
"Eldest sister, can you swallow this breath? Wasn't Ren Hai also killed by that person before? And I heard that the fifth prince also had a problem with that person in Fengri City, if you help thread the queen's place again ,Would not it be."
"Shut up!"
