"What happened to mother?" Yu Yuxi was stopped by Aunt Yu on her way to the garden.

Aunt Yu nodded anxiously. She was close to Mrs. Qian. She usually acted steadily and calmly in front of everyone in the Xuanping Marquis Mansion. She was not in a hurry or panic, which was very unusual. But now her expression changed: "Old slave

When I went to serve Madam Hou, I was stopped by someone and told me what Marquis Xuan Ping meant. From then on, I was not allowed to visit Madam Hou."

Aunt Yu is very clear about Xuanpinghou's attitude towards his old lady. In the past few days, it is very convenient for her to go in and out of Xuanpinghou's house like Qian's house, also because of the old lady.

Aunt Yu believed that as long as the old lady was here, nothing could really happen to Madam Hou.

But now, she was actually stopped outside Qian's yard.

"I'll go take a look." Yu Yuxi took Aunt Yu to Mingyue Xiaozhu. When she got to the door, she saw two big-bodied and round-waisted ladies guarding the outside. When they saw Yu Yuxi coming, they hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Yu Yuxi raised her head high and walked straight forward.

The two women looked at each other and stepped forward to stop her: "Second Miss, the Marquis has ordered that no one is allowed to come in or out of here at will."

"Neither can I?" Yu Yuxi said coolly.

The two ladies looked at each other, feeling very uneasy, but remembering the Marquis's instructions, they could only bite the bullet and said with a smile: "Second girl, please don't embarrass me, this is what the Marquis meant."

The second girl and the others did not dare to offend, but the Marquis and the others did not care.

I used to think that the Marquis didn't care about the affairs of the inner courtyard, which was the domain of the wife and the second girl. But now the Marquis has taken over the affairs of the inner courtyard and locked up the wife.

"Why did the Marquis lock up my wife? She was fine before!" Aunt Yu rolled her eyes, stepped forward to get close to her, and advised Yu Yuxi, "Second girl, don't be angry, they are also acting under orders, please wait a moment

For a moment, I will ask you about the situation, and you will have to inform the old lady when you get back."

Yu Yuxi gave the two women a cold look and led them to the pavilion on the side.

Seeing Yu Yuxi leave, the two ladies-in-law breathed a sigh of relief, but they were afraid that the second girl would definitely go in and they wouldn't be able to stop them, and there would be no one on either side.

"Aunt Yu, I don't know what happened." The two women were very grateful to Aunt Yu, but they really didn't know what happened. When they came over, they were asked to stay here and no one was allowed.

Feel free to go out.

Aunt Yu's eyes flashed, she sighed, and spread her hands: "It's not that I want to embarrass you, but you see, the second girl is here, and by looking at the second girl's appearance, you must understand what happened, so that we can

Just because I stopped you doesn't mean I can stop you later."

"This is... the Marquis's intention." The two wives said dryly.

"I know it was the intention of the Marquis. When the Marquis and his wife quarreled, the Marquis half-upped his wife in anger, but the lady must be the wife after all. When the Marquis calmed down, he would not be able to release his wife. How could it be possible?

If not, can we still imprison Madam Hou for the rest of her life?" Aunt Yu lowered her voice sincerely.

Then he pointed in the direction of Yu Yuxi: "The second girl came here to understand the situation, to help Mr. Hou and Mrs. Hou resolve their knot as soon as possible, and to release Mrs. Hou as soon as possible."

This was reasonable, but the two women really didn't dare to let him in. Although their faces were frightened, they still stopped in front of them.

Seeing that they were still like this, Aunt Yu sighed, stretched out her hand and nodded to the two women: "You guys, why are you so stubborn? If we don't go in, just ask someone inside to come out and ask, that's okay.

?”

"Call someone out?" The two women hesitated.

"Yes, if you call me out, you can just ask at the door. In fact, it doesn't count as coming out, so that's no problem, right? You haven't violated the wishes of the Marquis. When Madam comes out one day, she will definitely thank you." Aunt Yu said with a smile,

"No matter how angry Mr. Hou is, he and Mrs. Hou are a serious couple, and there are two girls here, so it's just a temporary anger."

Aunt Yu's words were both soft and hard, and the two women couldn't stand it anymore.

"Aunt Jade, please wait a moment. The slave girl goes in and asks someone to come out." A woman said, turned around and went in. After a while, she came out with a maid.

It's the red apricot next to Qian.

"Hongxing, come here." Aunt Yu waved to Hongxing.

Hongxing looked hesitantly at the two women guarding the door, and saw them standing at the door, ignoring her, and then trotted over to Aunt Yu.

Calling Hongxing to the corner of the door, Aunt Yu lowered her voice and asked, "Did Mr. Hou and Mrs. Hou quarrel again?"

"For the sake of the eldest girl's marriage..." Hongxing glanced at the two women guarding the door. Seeing that they were not paying attention to her, she lowered her voice and said, "It seems to be for the purpose of marrying the eldest girl to the General Jingyuan Mansion.

, the Marquis and his wife had a big quarrel, and then I heard that General Jingyuan’s wife had passed over. When the Marquis came over again, he turned over the entire wife’s inner room.”

"What... what?" Aunt Yu was startled, feeling that the matter was more serious than she thought, and asked urgently, "What did you take away?"

"There are...there are some store deeds and shop items." Hongxing stammered.

"A girl's?" Aunt Yu's face changed in shock.

"Some are." Hongxing's face turned pale. She had never seen Mr. Hou get so angry. Not to mention servants like them, not even the madam could stop him.

"Mrs. Hou...it's really..." Aunt Yu slapped her thigh. The old lady had told Mrs. Hou about this before, and asked her to be more cautious. Before the matter was fully considered, she must not be too hasty or mess with the rules.

"Aunt Yu, what should we do now? Madam fell down just now, and the wound opened again. Now she is lying on the bed in pain and can't get up." Hongxing cried.

"Don't worry, Mrs. Hou...how do you explain it?" Aunt Yu asked anxiously with sweat on her forehead. With Mrs. Hou's temperament, it is impossible for her to have no explanation at all.

"Madam said that she bought these from others. Even if they belonged to an older girl before, but not later, Mrs. Hou also took advantage..." Hongxing's voice became lower and lower, and she didn't even have this reason.

I believe it, not to mention Mr. Hou.

This is a really bad reason. I wonder if the old lady can make up for it!

"Mrs. Hou is really... so careless." Aunt Yu calmed down and ordered, "You should serve Mrs. Hou well inside. If there is anything missing and you can't get out, it's okay. Ask the gatekeeper to help you.

Just call her Third Miss. How can there be any overnight feud between the husband and wife? It's just a few words and the Marquis got furious."

The next few words of Aunt Yu were meant for the two women who were guarding the door. She raised her voice and deliberately downplayed the matter of Qian's imprisonment.

It's just a few words between a husband and wife, so it's really not a big deal.

After giving orders to Hongxing, Aunt Yu hurriedly entered the pavilion on one side, and Yu Yuxi sat on the stone bench in the middle.

Aunt Yu approached Yu Yuxi and whispered a few words in her ear. Yu Yuxi was startled and her face changed slightly. "Third girl, this matter has something to do with the eldest girl. You first go and ask the eldest girl if you can let her

If the girl goes to beg for mercy, maybe this matter will be settled like this." Aunt Yu suggested, "I should go back and report to the old lady now and let the old lady come up with an idea."

If things have reached this level, if there is no good explanation, Qian may not be released.

"What should I say about the store?" Yu Yuxi frowned and said, she would never get involved in matters like this of Qian's in the past, but now she has to.

"Second girl, the cause of this matter is still these shops, but what if these people who bought the shops from Mrs. Hou really sold the shops to Mrs. Hou at a low price?" Aunt Yu rolled her eyes.

"I understand." Yu Yuxi's face showed a hint of coldness, she glanced condescendingly at Aunt Yu and said.

"Second Miss, I'm going back to my house first." Aunt Yu was flustered and did not dare to waste any more time. She said goodbye to Yu Yuxi and left in a hurry.

Yu Yuxi looked at Aunt Yu who was leaving, and then at the two gatekeepers at the door of Mingyue Xiaozhu. Her face became a little gloomy, and then she turned around and went out to the pavilion.

"Girl, this is not the direction to Qinglanxuan." Maid Jinzhu looked at the direction Yu Yuxi went and warned carefully.

"What's the use of Yu Zhuqing? All this must be Yu Xijiao's business." Yu Yuxi said coldly.

In front of the main room of Yaoshui Pavilion, Nanny Xu came out to greet her. When she saw Yu Yuxi approaching, she hurriedly saluted: "I've met the second girl."

Yu Yuxi glanced at her coldly and walked towards the door of the main room. The little maid had already raised the curtain.

"Second sister, why are you free to come to my place today?" Hearing the movement at the door, Yu Xijiao put down the book in her hand, raised her head and asked with a smile.

Yu Yuxi stood in front of Yu Xijiao, her eyes fell coldly on Yu Xijiao's face, and suddenly asked in a cold voice: "What do you want?"

Yu Xijiao stood up slowly: "Second sister, I don't know what you are talking about."

"Third sister, since you returned to the house, things have happened in the house every now and then. Now even the mother is being reprimanded by the father. What is all this for?" Yu Yuxi's eyes fell coldly on Yu Xijiao's face, "

Is it out of resentment for leaving the capital in the first place? I heard that it was not your grandmother who robbed you, and your father and mother had no intention of letting you leave."

"I don't understand what the second sister said." Yu Xijiao smiled slightly and said calmly.

"Third sister, do you really don't understand, or are you pretending not to understand? It's not my mother's fault or my father's fault that you left the capital for Jiangnan. None of us know the situation at that time, but one thing can be said

I'm sure my father didn't want you to leave Beijing, so he even smashed Mr. Xie's carriage for this reason."

Yu Yuxi was taller than Yu Xijiao, and looked down at Yu Xijiao with an aggressive gaze.

Yu Xijiao's face darkened, "Second sister came to my place today to ask questions?"

"I just want to tell you, don't target your mother anymore. Your mother didn't treat you badly in the first place. All the mistakes you made in going to Jiangnan are not your mother's fault."

Yu Yuxi said coldly, "The anger you are full of now is all directed at your mother, and you have everyone in the Hou Mansion under your control, so that your father and mother are at odds. What do you want? As long as

You name it, I agree!"
