However, Ying'er said that the wind was blowing at her feet all the way, and she soon arrived near the Qingtang thatched cottage.

Thinking of what she had to do, it was best not to let the people around her see her, so she did not go in, but chose to hide behind a big rock that she had to pass in and out - by the way, there had been some hiding behind this big rock.

Passed many women.

After hiding it, Ying'er kept an eye on the courtyard door of Qingtang thatched cottage, just waiting for Jiao Shun to come out from inside, and then wait for an opportunity to send a message.

at the same time.

Mrs. Wang chatted awkwardly with Jiao Shun for a long time, and finally plucked up the courage to back away, and said softly: "The main reason why I invite you to come here this time is for the palace empress's affairs."

It seems that her name for Jiao Shun also changed several times.

When we first met, we didn't use any given names and only addressed each other with the word 'you', which was full of condescension. Later, we changed to 'Shun Ge'er' to express intimacy, and later we changed it to 'Chang Qing'.

The title "Master" was first used in bed, but now it has become an honorific title when the two of them are alone.

Because the door was still open and only separated by a curtain, Jiao Shun didn't take advantage of the opportunity to act like a great master, but suddenly changed his tone and said coldly: "What's wrong, my dear? Didn't I try to suppress the outside before?"

Have you heard any rumors?"

"But……"

Mrs. Wang pursed her lips, raised her breasts unconsciously, and said timidly: "But Concubine Wu is still aggressive. If possible, can you please..."

"What more?"

In fact, before Jiao Shun came, he had guessed that it was probably because of this and had already made plans to compromise, but being ready to compromise did not mean that he would let go easily.

On the contrary, he didn't wait for Mrs. Wang to finish what he said, then scolded with a straight face: "I have been keeping the rules in the palace these days, and you have not seen how those civil servants are targeting me. How can I cause trouble at this juncture?

"

After a pause, he added seriously: "After all, she is not my flesh and blood."

In fact, Yuanchun was several years older than Jiao Shun, so he had the nerve to speak so confidently.

Mrs. Wang was speechless by him.

She had previously only thought that Jiao Shun was highly relied upon by the Queen and Concubine Wu, but now after being reminded by Jiao Shun, she was shocked to realize that his current situation was not that good either.

After a moment of silence, he couldn't help but asked with concern: "Is there anything dangerous?"

"Don't worry, it's not the first time I've been targeted."

Jiao Shun waved his hand, indicating that she didn't have to worry about it, and then said: "But right now, I don't want to cause any more trouble. Anyway, as long as the empress keeps a low profile and keeps a low profile in the palace, she will only receive some cold treatment at most, and she won't really be dragged away."

Buried in the imperial mausoleum."

Why not?!

Mrs. Wang opened her mouth, intending to tell the Queen Mother what seemed to have the opposite effect when interceding, but she was afraid that when Jiao Shun heard about it, he would become even more reluctant to get involved.

After much thought, I was afraid that the only way to get Jiao Shun to obey was to find another way.

only……

Although Mrs. Wang had made up her mind, she couldn't open her mouth when the matter came.

After all, Aunt Xue is a widowed person, and her brother-in-law is not a "relative" after all. In addition, they are in love with each other, so she does not have much psychological burden when selling her.

But Baochai was the daughter-in-law he chose with his own hands!

If the two of them have already reached a certain stage, it would be enough for him to tolerate and support the adulterer. If they haven't reached that stage yet, wouldn't it be equivalent to cuckolding Baoyu with his own hands?

Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang's lips seemed to be welded shut, and she couldn't open her mouth for a long time.

While the two of them were looking at each other in silence, Ying'er outside the courtyard found Wen Xing [also Baochai's maid] running to the steps.

Ying'er hesitated, then walked out from behind the big rock, patted Wen Xing's shoulder gently and asked: "Wen Xing, why did you come here?"

Wen Xing was startled. She turned around and saw Ying'er. She immediately stroked her chest and said, "Sister, I was shocked - it was the girl who asked me to come to my sister. She said she wanted you to take a leave of absence from your wife, so we girls

I feel unwell, and I want to stay in isolation for two days, and wait until I feel better before going to the palace to take care of myself."

Ying'er frowned secretly after hearing this, and was very dissatisfied with Baochai's change in the morning and evening.

In line with the principle that the emperor was not anxious about the eunuch, ever since she discovered that the girl was having an affair with Uncle Jiao, her enthusiasm was more than ten times higher than Baochai himself.

This was out of indignation at Baoyu's various actions and a subconscious desire to retaliate; on the other hand, she also felt that since the girl had lost her virginity and there was no hope of reconciling with Mr. Bao, she should decisively lean towards Mr. Jiao.

It's only right to use his power to protect yourself and the Xue family.

As the saying goes, if you are constantly being disturbed, and you are so vacillating and unable to make up your mind, if you end up in vain, won't the girl herself suffer in the end?

But no matter how dissatisfied she was, she couldn't disobey Baochai's orders, so she sighed helplessly and asked Wen Xing to go back and recover first, and then walked into the Qingtang thatched cottage.

Caixia Caiyun was whispering in the corridor. When she saw Ying'er walking in from outside, she greeted her with a smile: "Why are Ying'er here? But what summons does Second Mistress have?"

"It's something."

Ying'er said, raising her finger and pointing to the living room of the main room: "I wonder if it's more convenient in there?"

"Is this it?"

Caixia and Caiyun looked at each other and said hesitantly: "Uncle Jiao is inside, he seems to have something urgent to discuss - whether Second Mistress' matter is urgent or not, if not..."

"I just need to tell you in person."

"Okay then, I'll go report it for you."

Seeing Ying'er's resolute attitude, Caiyun nodded in agreement, stood up, went to the door, and reported through the curtain: "Madam, the Second Mistress sent Ying'er to say that she had something to report face to face."

It was quiet for a moment, and then Mrs. Wang's response came out: "Let her come in."

Somehow, this voice actually conveyed a vague feeling of relief.

Ying'er had already followed her to the door. After hearing what Mrs. Wang said, she simply picked up the curtain and walked in. She first glanced at Uncle Jiao quietly, and then said respectfully: "Madam, our grandma is not feeling well and wants to stay behind closed doors."

After two days, I will go to the palace to take care of it after it is healed. I hope my wife will give me permission."

She calls her "our girl" outside, but she doesn't dare to call her that in front of Mrs. Wang.

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang had a look of disappointment visible to the naked eye.

She originally thought that Baochai sent Ying'er because she couldn't hold back her passion for adultery, but what she expected was the news that since she was going to be raised behind closed doors for two days, she would not be able to go out again.

guest.

How can we ‘find another way’ now?

Mrs. Wang was confused for a moment, and suddenly saw Jiao Shun, her subordinate, standing up and saying: "My brother and sister are sick, and brother Bao is not at home. It is natural for aunt to go and visit - my nephew will not bother you anymore today, and I will take my leave."

With that said, he stepped out and left.

Ying'er was a little anxious when she saw this, but she didn't dare to show it in front of Mrs. Wang. Just when she didn't know what to do, she suddenly heard Mrs. Wang say in a loud voice: "Chang Qing, stay!"

Ying'er subconsciously raised her head and saw that Mrs. Wang looked confused and hesitant at first, then bit her lower lip and said: "I still have something to ask you. If you are not in a hurry, please wait here for a while, I will go

Go and come back."

Since her daughter entered the palace, she has never relied on help from her family. Now that she is asking for help from her family for the first time, she must have encountered an obstacle that she cannot overcome. No matter what, she cannot just sit back and ignore it!

Jiao Shun was just playing hard to get, but when he heard what she said, he immediately turned around and said helplessly: "Since Madam said so, my nephew will wait here."

With that said, he sat back on the chair again.

Seeing that Jiao Shun was stabilized, Mrs. Wang took Caiyun and several maids and servants, and rushed to Xue Baochai's place behind Ying'er.

But after she left the Qingtang hut, she became more and more hesitant and anxious as she walked.

The original plan was to turn a blind eye and let the two of them take advantage of each other, but now Baochai has made it clear that he does not want to cooperate, and made such a statement, does it mean that Baochai and Jiao Shun have not gone anywhere yet?

One step, and no intention of continuing?

If this is really the case, what should I do? I can't really force my daughter-in-law Hongxing to cheat on her as a mother-in-law, right?

Thinking like this, she was walking slowly one step at a time, but suddenly she saw Yinger, who was leading the way, stopped on her own initiative.

At first, Mrs. Wang thought it was because she was walking too slowly. Unexpectedly, Ying'er touched her wrist and exclaimed, then turned around and said, "Madam, I, my bracelet seems to have fallen halfway."

"Where did it fall?"

Mrs. Wang asked casually. Seeing that Ying'er was hesitant and unable to speak, she said: "It only takes a few steps at home. You don't have to lead the way. Go back and look for it first."

Ying'er felt like she was being pardoned, so she thanked her several times and hurried to the hut in Qingtang.

Without Ying'er to lead the way, Mrs. Wang's footsteps became more and more careful. She walked for nearly two-quarters of an hour for two or three miles, but no matter how hard she delayed, she finally arrived in front of Baochai's door.

Mrs. Wang was in a mess and could not make up her mind, so she looked at the door and sighed. She hesitated for a long time but did not have the courage to take the final step.

…………

the other side.

Ying'er returned to Qingtang Cottage in a hurry, but she broke in without any hesitation.

"Huh?"

Just after bringing new tea into the house, Caixia, who had been rubbed a few times, came out. When she saw Ying'er, she couldn't help but wonder: "Why are you back again?"

"My wife asked me to come back to get something!"

Ying'er replied confidently, then picked up the curtain and entered the living room of the main room.
