Chapter 1524: Tiger Girl 8
Next, the topic still revolved around the Rongguo Duke's mansion. Although there was no real evidence, Poria was bought as soon as she left the mansion and died that night. She knew this in her heart.
General Zhao also felt troubled: "What did the widower of Jingzhao Mansion say?"
"There was no autopsy at all." Mrs. Zhao was furious, but this was also expected: "If someone from a high-ranking family doesn't die, it doesn't matter if a maidservant dies. There's no one to collect the body of that bastard. They were thrown into mass graves.”
"I sent someone to dig it out, and there was indeed a purple-red mark on the neck."
General Zhao quickly asked: "Where is the body now?"
"It's being placed in Yizhuang. It's cold today, so I can still afford it. I'll just wait until the master comes back to deal with it."
Mrs. Zhao and the general were discussing the matter, when suddenly the third lady next to them spoke.
"It's better to throw it back." Xining really couldn't bear it. If she knew, she would definitely stop it: "The law of the Bian Dynasty states that anyone who tortures and kills slaves to death will be punished with thirty years of punishment and one year in prison. Not to mention the Duke's Mansion. It’s not easy to find a top bag.”
General Zhao and Mrs. Zhao were discussing with their heads very close. When they heard this, they both turned their heads and looked at the little girl sitting beside them.
That's right, so what if a new autopsy confirms that he was strangled to death? The Duke of Rongguo's house cannot be brought down.
Xining said slowly: "But after finding out the truth, it would be better to let Yan Guan take part in the lax management of the family and give Yan Guan something to do!"
Mrs. Zhao's eyebrows twitched, which meant that pulling out the body was still useful.
General Zhao only came back once a year. Xining stood up, bowed slightly and left.
General Zhao said in a deep voice: "Looking at the time, it's getting late. Let's have lunch together before leaving."
"My daughter has just recovered, and her father has also been tired from traveling all the way. It's better for my daughter to go back to her room and lie down." Xining said goodbye anyway.
As soon as her little daughter left, Mrs. Zhao immediately called someone to prepare a meal. General Zhao stood up and said, "I will go to my mother's place during this time."
Mrs. Zhao stood up and helped General Zhao put on his cloak. She couldn't help but curled her lips: "I won't look good if I go."
General Zhao is extremely strong. Although Mrs. Zhao is already tall among women, she still looks like a little bird standing in front of her husband. To help tie the knot, you still need to raise your hand.
General Zhao inadvertently blew out a breath from his nose and sighed slightly: "That is also my aunt. If I don't go, the ministers in the court will know about it, and they will inevitably read a book."
The Bian Dynasty was led by filial piety, but unfilial piety was a greater crime than killing a slave.
Mrs. Zhao could only let General Zhao go: "The food will get cold if left out for a long time, so leave early and come back early."
"Well, I'll come back as soon as I go." General Zhao walked out.
Xining held the small hand stove in his hand and walked slowly. There was a maid in front of him paving the way, Dongmei supporting him beside him, and a group of maids following behind.
Dongmei suddenly said in surprise: "Miss, it's snowing!"
Xining looked up and saw that it was indeed snowing. The snow had just fallen. It was not heavy, but it was really snow.
He was wearing a blue fox fur cloak and had a hand stove, so he didn't feel cold. She exhaled a long breath, and there was a long white breath in her mouth: "Ruixue!"
"Yes, I was brought back from the north with General Zhao." It was rare for Dongmei to say something flattering, but she was pretty good at it. With General Zhao here, if anything happens, others will pay for it. Xining smiled and continued walking forward.
Suddenly I saw someone hiding near the tree in front of me.
Wherever there is a monster, there must be a demon, Xi Ning motioned to Dongmei beside her. Dongmei understood and immediately shouted: "Who is in front, sneaky, come out!"
A maid walked out from behind the tree and hurriedly knelt down: "This servant is from Jingxi's courtyard. I am bringing the third lady here. I don't dare to disturb the third lady, so I hide. Please forgive me, the third lady."
Jingxi Courtyard is where Aunt Xu lives. There are five courtyards in the General Mansion. The wife and the second master live in one courtyard, Mrs. Zhao lives in another courtyard, the prince and his family live in one courtyard, and Aunt Xu and the two concubines live in one courtyard. , the body is in charge of a courtyard. The second son and the third son are currently stationed at the border with the general. If they come back, they will live in Mrs. Zhao's courtyard.
The only person in the entire General's Mansion who can occupy a courtyard to her own is the owner of the body. It is said that it allows her to walk around frequently and take good care of her body. It can be seen that the general's mansion dotes on the body owner.
Not only the courtyard, but also the food, clothing and clothing are all as luxurious as the princess' daughter or the county's head. She was only wearing a blue fox fur cloak, which few ladies from official families could wear. Even Mrs. Gaoming mostly only wore a cloak trimmed with fox fur.
Looking at this maid, Xi Ning narrowed her eyes. It seemed that Aunt Xu wanted to take advantage of her and coax General Zhao into her courtyard.
This Aunt Xu became the biggest blame for the downfall of the Zhenguo General's Mansion in the future. Although the body owner had no friendship with Aunt Xu, he was not interested in her, and he didn't know what kind of person Xu was. Now it seems that it is not peaceful.
Dongmei whispered in her ear: "Her name is Yuanyang, and she lives in Aunt Xu's house."
Listening to the name, is there another one named Playing Water?
"Yuanyang." Xining rubbed the small stove that was still hot in his hand: "Aunt Xu went to her grandmother's place to say hello during the winter solstice. The piece of ropa she was holding in her hand was quite good. She was about to send someone to get it. , since you are here, help bring someone over to get it.”
She thought for a while: "Qiuye, come with me once."
Qiuye walked from the back to the front, lowered his head slightly: "Yes, Miss."
Xi Ning said with a half-smile, "I would like to inform you by the way, my father is at my grandmother's place at the moment. He will discuss important matters with his mother tonight. He will go to the palace tomorrow to see the emperor, and the day after tomorrow he will go to the government office to deal with military aircraft. First thing. Let her go to bed early. When her father is free, he will go to her place to reassure her. "
Yuanyang couldn't help but take a breath of cold air and quickly bowed her head: "Yes, Miss."
"Go!" Xining led the people and continued walking into his yard.
After leaving, Yuanyang dared to stand up, and his back was already covered with sweat.
He was so meticulous in doing things that he found an excuse and escorted the person back; he said it was a notification, but in fact it was a warning, and it was very orderly. Every day was a major event, and he couldn't go to his aunt's place for at least three days. When did this third young lady become so powerful? My aunt is different from my legitimate daughter. If the third young lady wants to attack in the future, how can my aunt and the people below me escape?
It is said that the third lady's whole person changed when she fell into the water this time, and it is indeed true. Of course not getting stupider!
Xining returned to her yard, took off her cloak, and sat beside the Arhat's bed. Dongmei came over, knelt down, and took off her shoes.
He leaned on the Arhat bed, covered himself with a quilt, and stuffed his feet with a freshly brewed soup wrapped in cotton cloth. Candied snacks were placed on the kang table next to them, and hawthorn fried tea soup was also served.
Lei Yi is extremely warm, and the owner of the body is playing well with a good hand of cards.
After a while, a message came from outside, and it was another plum blossom appreciation. This time it was hosted by the county of Prince Duan's family, and all the two girls from the Zhenguo General's Mansion who had not left the government were invited.
Xining held the hand stove and leaned on the soft pillow. She squinted her eyes, seemingly resting her mind, but instead calculating.
