After Xu Qingmo came back, Princess Zhengyang finally breathed a sigh of relief. Xu Qingmo had been a housekeeper for a while, and she was quite handy when it came to keeping accounts. After staying up for two nights, she was able to sort out the accounts!
Princess Zhengyang looked at the dark figure under Xu Qingmo's eyes, feeling extremely distressed and full of guilt: "It's all my fault. If I could have done better, you wouldn't have to work so hard!"
Xu Qingmo yawned, and then leaned on the table nearby: "Sister-in-law, you are a bride, and our family has not been divided yet. Even if you are to be the head of the family, my mother will teach you step by step, but people are not as good as God. , you just took over temporarily, it’s normal for you to be in a hurry!”
Princess Zhengyang looked at Xu Qingmo for a long time, and then said: "My mother-in-law is pregnant now, and I don't know whether it is a boy or a girl!"
"When my mother married my father, she was very young. She felt sorry for my eldest brother and me, and she never gave birth to a child of her own. The child I have now is something I have begged for!" Xu Qingmo said with a smile, "But my sister-in-law Don’t worry, no matter what, the title belongs to my eldest brother!”
Princess Zhengyang quickly waved her hand: "That's not what I meant. I just think that my mother is not too young. It is really hard to carry this child. Now she has fetal gas, and she can't eat or drink. It's really uncomfortable." Got it!
"We just have to listen to the imperial doctor, eat less and often, move around more when there is nothing to do, and do everything according to destiny!" Xu Qingmo poured a cup of tea for Princess Zhengyang, and then asked with a smile, "What about sister-in-law? When will sister-in-law give birth to me?" Little nephew?"
Princess Zhengyang's face instantly turned red: "Mo Mo!"
Xu Qingmo laughed: "It's human nature to have children, sister-in-law, don't be shy!"
Zhengyang blushed and stopped talking.
"Princess, girl, there is a lady named Lin outside who says she is the daughter-in-law of your grandmother's best friend's brother. She says she has something important to see!" Huaying trotted in.
Xu Qingmo almost choked to death with a sip of tea: "What?"
These days, the collusion between Jiangnan water thieves and the government has been a big deal. The officials involved tried every means to influence the relationship. The Marquis of Yongchang and the Seventh Prince protected the He family tightly, and there was no loophole for anyone to take advantage of. Once inside, someone wanted to find Ning Yuanhou, his former son-in-law.
Suddenly, countless distant relatives came to visit.
Fortunately, Marquis Ningyuan was trapped in the palace, Xu Yanquan was always away from the palace, and the eldest lady was not easy to meet guests, so Ningyuan Marquis had many distant relatives in the palace.
It's just that Xu Qingmo never thought that there would be such a strange person walking around. She was a little annoyed: "You must be here for the affairs of the court again!"
Hua Ying said nothing.
It is difficult for Xu Qingmo, a woman who has not left the palace, to deal with this kind of thing, so she can only let Princess Zhengyang deal with it. These days, Princess Zhengyang has seen so many of these inexplicable relatives, so she has to deal with them. As a human being, he is quite handy!
"Please let me sit down for a while, and I'll go right away!" Princess Zhengyang stood up, "The men in the family have dirty hands and feet, and in the end they embarrass the woman by doing this shameless favor of a relationship. It's really embarrassing!"
"Husband and wife are one, there is nothing we can do!" Xu Qingmo sighed, "Thank you for your hard work, sister-in-law!"
In fact, Princess Zhengyang usually handles these matters in a tactful manner and tries her best to save face for these people. But today, Mrs. Lin was probably desperate. She knelt in front of Princess Zhengyang and kept saying: kowtow.
As a legitimate princess, Zhengyang was already married, but her royal status could afford her to kneel down. However, she never expected that Mrs. Lin would act like a madman, snatching the ground with her head, and smashing her forehead. The head-on collision was so bloody that it was really shocking.
Zhengyang couldn't stop her, so he could only ask someone to find Xu Qingmo.
When Xu Qingmo arrived at the main hall, he saw several maids fighting with Mrs. Lin. The whole main hall was wailing and it had become a mess.
Xu Qingmo said nothing when he walked in. They were making a fuss and didn't notice her coming in. Xu Qingmo just looked at the lady crying and crying.
After she had run out of energy, Xu Qingmo suddenly said: "You are from Hangzhou, right?"
Mrs. Lin was stunned and looked at Xu Qingmo with some confusion.
"Look at your outfit, it's the outfit of a wealthy family in Hangzhou city. I remember that Hangzhou city is under the jurisdiction of my uncle, and it has nothing to do with this case from top to bottom. Who is your husband's family?" Xu Qingmo looked at it. Looking at Mrs. Lin, she asked coldly.
Mrs. Lin was frightened by Xu Qingmo's appearance and said quickly: "My husband is from Suzhou Weaving..."
"Fat job!" Xu Qingmo found a chair and sat down, "If you are involved in this case, there will definitely be an in-depth investigation. How can a person like this fat job not get any benefits? Your husband will probably want to I’ve explained it, I think he should know it better than anyone else!”
Mrs. Lin looked at Xu Qingmo and suddenly burst into tears: "My husband just let a few people go and never colluded with the water thieves..."
"It's useless for you to tell me this!" Xu Qingmo interrupted Mrs. Lin, "I remember that Suzhou Zhizao Lin was a very smart man, but his background was not very good, so he married a concubine from a noble family in order to make the Yue family better. I want to help, but I didn’t expect that the Yue family that I finally found has been in a state of decline these years, so I can’t do much to help, and as a result, I have treated this concubine badly!”
Mrs. Lin looked at Xu Qingmo and couldn't say a word.
"When Mr. Lin went out, he never thought about the advantages of a decent lady like you. He also brought with him a concubine who couldn't stand up to the stage. You have to live and die for such a person. What are you trying to do? ?" Xu Qingmo stared into Mrs. Lin's eyes and said word by word.
"me……"
"You have no relationship with him, and you can raise a child with your dowry!" Xu Qingmo sneered, "Tell me, what did he use to blackmail you into taking this trip!"
Mrs. Lin's face turned pale when Xu Qingmo blocked her. The two of them were in a stalemate for a quarter of an hour. Finally, Mrs. Lin was defeated: "On the day of the accident, that bitch rushed into my yard with a few people and took advantage of my lack of reaction. Come here and take my son!"
"Why did you take away your son?" Zhengyang was a little surprised.
"He asked that bitch to tell me that he wanted me to come to Ningyuanhou's mansion to cause trouble. If Ningyuanhou didn't agree, he would die here. Then he asked my father to accuse Ningyuanhou of forcing officials' family members to death. When the time comes, , naturally someone will find a way to save him!" Mrs. Lin said softly.
