Chapter 49: There is a treacherous plot
Mrs. Gong fell ill, but Wen Mingqian was nowhere to be found.
At first the old lady didn’t say anything, but as time went by, some of it inevitably became visible.
Fortunately, Webster was there to speak kindly to Wen Mingqian.
Mrs. Gong was worried about her youngest son and was too lazy to restrain Wen Mingqian.
With Webster by his side, there was no need for her.
Wen Mingqian only came over in a hurry every morning and evening to take a look, neither serving at his side nor talking about what he was busy with every day.
On this day, the old lady took the medicine and asked: "How many days will it take for the uncle to get home? If he comes back, he can still walk around outside and come back to find out more information."
< br>"I think it's soon. Don't worry, old lady. The case won't be finished in a day or two. There were more than ten or twenty people called this time, and everyone is waiting." Webster called the little girl He took the medicine bowl down and fed his mother-in-law the sweet soup she had eaten.
"In previous years, if I came back to pay homage to the Buddha, many people would come to visit me. This year is a good one. It seems that everyone has made an appointment, and no one comes." Mrs. Gong smiled bitterly, "This shows that the world is in trouble!"< br>
"The world is like this, so don't take it to heart, old lady." Webster advised, "Everyone talks about avoiding suspicion, and besides, we don't have the intention to entertain you even if you come." "I had a dream at night, which was very bad. "The old lady closed her eyes slightly, feeling quite tired.
"You are just too worried. You have thoughts every day and dreams at night." Webster said, picking up the Ganan rosary and putting it in the old lady's hand. "It is better to recite the Buddha's name and calm down." "
Hearing this, Mrs. Gong sighed deeply and slowly twisted the rosary beads in her hand. She also knows that worrying too much won't help.
After Webster settled her mother-in-law, the housekeeper came over as soon as she came out of the room.
"Madam, the Luan family has come to announce the funeral." the housekeeper whispered.
"What happened to the Luan family? Who passed away?" Wei Shi was surprised.
"It was Luan Huan, Lord Luan," the housekeeper said, "he said he committed suicide in prison."
"Ah?!" Webster couldn't help but exclaimed in a low voice, "Why? Committed suicide? "
They were family friends with the Luan family. Luan Huanling was also detained because of Yu Fengchen's case. Like Gong Xu, he once served in the Salt Division.
"I guess it's because the superiors are pressing too hard!" The housekeeper also guessed, "Or maybe because of other reasons, the Luan family didn't say anything."
"Send the prepared memorial ceremony here. I think the uncle will be back soon. Then I will go to express my condolences in person." Wei Shi said, "Control the mouth of this person, don't say nonsense, let alone spread it to the ears of the old lady. "
"You know, it would be great if the old lady knew about it," the steward said.
Asked again: "Do I need to tell Xiyuan'er about this?"
Webster thought for a while and said: "No need to tell, telling them will only make them anxious. If there is chaos, , it’s even more troublesome.
But I can’t hide it, and it’s not like an old lady, as long as the people in front of me don’t tell it.”
Wei knew that the Song family would hear the news sooner or later. After all, the Song family had good ears and eyes.
Sure enough, not long after the Luan family came to report the funeral, the Song family also heard the news.
She was naturally worried that Luan Huanling committed suicide, which only meant that the situation was getting tighter. "What should we do?" Mrs. Song was so anxious that her eyes were dry and she couldn't even cry.
"Little madam, didn't you say that the eldest master is coming back soon?" Mrs. Yang said from the side.
"What's the use of him coming back? Will Zhu Hui betray his favor?" Song said dejectedly, "The most he can do is inquire about information, but what's the use of just knowing? It's not enough to make him anxious."
"Little madam, my uncle is here." Liu Yun walked in and said, "We have arrived in the yard."
"Please come in quickly." As soon as Mrs. Song heard that her sister-in-law was here, Get up quickly.
While speaking, Ge Shi had already walked in.
"Oh, my aunt! I haven't seen you for a few days, how come you are so thin? You are pregnant with a child now! Why don't you know how to take care of yourself?" When Ge Shi saw her sister-in-law, she was surprised by her emaciation and emaciation. .
"Sister-in-law, you don't know, my heart is like being fried in a pan for a day, how can I get a moment of peace? I can't take care of this in my belly." Mrs. Song couldn't help but shed tears when she met her mother-in-law's family. .
"Okay, okay, stop crying." Mrs. Ge took her handkerchief to wipe Mrs. Song's tears and said, "I heard that your old lady is back, so I came here to have a look. Don't let people feel that you are lacking in etiquette."
"Even if you are here, they may not be willing to see you." Ms. Song knew that Mrs. Gong didn't want to see her and her family, not to mention her current mood. Not good.
"It's her business whether to see you or not, and it's my business to come or not." Ge Shi smiled, "Not to mention I have to see you!"
Ms. Song listened. Send someone to the courtyard: "Go and see if the old lady is feeling better now? Ask the eldest lady and tell her that our uncle and wife are here to pay their respects to the old lady. Can you see her?"
"Sister-in-law, have you heard about the Luan family?" After Mrs. Song finished her instructions, she turned back to Mrs. Ge and said, "After I found out, I felt so uncomfortable."
"Then Luan Huan ordered Yu Fengchen to His life is longer than that of your second master," said Ge. "I guess there was something wrong with him. Otherwise, if he hadn't been tortured to extract a confession, why would he have committed suicide just after the trial? Who knows what will happen next?" Mrs. Song was worried, "I can't think of anything else to do except burn incense and kowtow every day."
Mr. Ge took a look in private. Seeing that no one else was around, he said, "Sister, I came here today to talk to you about something important."
"What's the matter?" Seeing her seriousness, Mrs. Song couldn't help but lean forward and asked hurriedly.
"Didn't your brother go to the prince to ask for help before? The prince said that this matter is extremely difficult to handle and he can't get involved." Ge Shi whispered, "You also know that with our status, we can only ask the master to do things. Master’s grace.”
“Yes, that Zhu Hui is so stubborn that he even dares to contradict the emperor if he gets too excited.” Mrs. Song sighed, “Of course the prince can’t do it for our family. It's a shame for yourself."
"But now I tell you, there is a way for the prince to help you, but what about it?" Ge Shi looked at Mrs. Song with deep meaning in her eyes.
“Really? Sister-in-law?” Mrs. Song was so excited that she grabbed Ge’s hand, “Tell me what the method is?”
“If this method is to work, you have to Rely on that one." Ge Shi raised his chin and pointed to Lingyue Pavilion where Wen Mingqian lived.
"Rely on her? What magic weapon can she have?" Mrs. Song was stunned.
"If you really want your master to come back safely and even be promoted to a higher position, you must give up the son born to the Wen family." Ge said, "If your Gong family can really do this, Go up, and you won't have to worry about getting richer and richer in the future."
Her words made Mrs. Song feel itchy, and she also said that she wanted to give up the palace chief An. Why didn't she want to?
