In Rongguo Mansion, a woman from the second door walked into Sister Feng's children's courtyard, came to the door of the main room, bowed and replied: "Second grandma, the boy next to the second master has sent word that the second master will not come back for lunch today."

“Do you know where the second master went?”

“I said he went to the firearms camp.”

“I know, let’s go down.”

In the room, Sister Feng looked miserable.

Although Jia Lian didn’t explain when he went out in the morning, she could probably guess that Jia Lian went out so early and must have gone to the palace.

As for the purpose, there is nothing else except his affair with the princess.

Therefore, she didn’t pay much attention to the trivial matters in the house today, and just waited at home with peace of mind for the news.

After previous rounds of comfort from Jia Lian and Princess Zhaoyang, she had already accepted the result, and was even mentally prepared to be in some embarrassing situations after the matter became public.

It’s not too difficult. She is not a sensitive or glass-hearted person.

Moreover, in terms of embarrassment and humiliation, this incident was far less than the time the Queen Mother punished her that year.

That time, she was reprimanded by the Queen Mother for her immoral behavior. Not only was she almost ruined, but Jia Lian also lost her official position and suffered a lot of gossip.

Although that time it was mainly because of Jia Lian's protection that she was able to get through it in the end.

But we got through it after all.

Looking back, that experience became a memorable moment in her life. I would like to ask, how many decent women in the world can successfully survive such a desperate situation?

After being demoted to the concubine this time, although he could not avoid being embarrassed, but he lost to the princess of the dynasty, so that was all.

Who can really laugh at her when she is in a different position?

With previous experiences like this, she has the courage to face the next situation calmly and the confidence to reverse adversity.

Having said that, the loneliness of being alone and having her husband taken away from her still inevitably made her feel depressed.

This is not a contradiction.

Since Jia Lian would not come back, she had no way of knowing whether Jia Lian had entered the palace or what the outcome would be. She could only order someone to prepare a meal, and planned to go to the garden to see Baochai after the meal.

Suddenly hearing Jia Mu inviting her over, Sister Feng quickly packed up and headed to Rongqing Hall.

When I got here, I saw that the atmosphere was a bit solemn. The maids in front of the main house were not as lively as before, and Sister Feng was heartbroken.Mr. Li couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.

Slow down and go in, turn into the inner hall, and see that in addition to Jia Mu still sitting high, she also has Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue sitting upright.

Seeing her come in, they all looked at her with deep expressions.

Sister Feng’s heart skipped a beat, and she was about to use her best joke to find out what was going on with her elders, when she heard Jia’s mother above her say: “Girl Feng, Brother Lian and Zhaoyang Do you know about the eldest princess?"

"Uh..."

Sister Feng did not expect that Jia Mu would ask such a question. In her opinion, even if there is a result on Jia Lian's side, he will definitely tell her first, not Jia Mu and others.

Why does it look like Jia Mu and others knew about it before she did?

If the people around you let it slip. Regardless of the people around Jia Lian, Ping'er was the only one around her who knew about it. Even Qingwen and Xiangling didn't know about it, so they shouldn't be.

But no matter where Jia Mu learned it, since she already knew it, Sister Feng had no reason to hide it, so she nodded.

“Confused!!”

Mother Jia scolded in a deep voice: “How dare you hide such an important matter from me and your wife!”

Sister Feng knelt down quickly and said aggrievedly: "It's not that we deliberately hid it from the old lady and my wife, but the matter is too big to be publicized.

"What the second master meant, After he has sorted out all the troubles, it will not be too late to tell the ancestors..."

Sister Feng explained, and the more she talked, the more aggrieved she felt. It was clear that she was the only one who was hurt in this matter. Even Jia's family would benefit from the relationship with the eldest princess. In the end, Jia's mother still scolded and questioned her.

Seemingly sensing Sister Feng’s thoughts, Jia Mu’s expression softened a little and said, “If it hadn’t been for the letter from the royal concubine in the palace, I wouldn’t have known about it. You guys are so incompetent. Proper..."

When Sister Feng heard Jia Mu's words below, she knew where Jia Mu's news came from. At the same time, he secretly thought that since Yuanchun knew about this matter, he thought that the unscrupulous person had already entered the palace to ask for grace, and he didn't know what the result would be.

Before she could guess, Jia Mu had already stared at her again, scolding her with hatred: "Lian'er is a man and young, so impulsiveness is inevitable. As his Fa’s wife, since she knew about this, why didn’t she persuade him a little more and let him do whatever he wanted, causing such trouble!”

Uh...

Sister Feng raised her head and looked at Jia Mu with tearful eyes.

Jia MuShe said angrily: "The Imperial Concubine said that the Emperor was very angry when he found out about Lian'er and the eldest princess. He had issued a decree to severely reprimand Lian'er and also demoted his title!"

" Ah...!"

Sister Feng was also shocked. If she hadn't known that Jia Mu would not joke about such a thing, she would have thought that Jia Mu was lying to her.

What’s going on? Didn't it mean that the eldest princess was very favored in the Tian family? The man in the family was also the emperor's confidant, and even the Queen Mother had intended to bring them together.

Now that I am willing to give in and make room for my position, why is the royal family not happy?

So I quickly asked for the specific reason.

It turned out that after Yuanchun returned to Fengzao Palace after meeting the queen, he was still a little worried about Jia Lian, so he wrote a letter to tell his family what happened in the palace today.

The purpose is also to let Jia Mu and others know about this matter, so as to comfort and restrain Jia Lian to prevent him from making mistakes.

But as soon as Jia Mu learned about Jia Lian and Princess Zhaoyang, she was immediately shocked. When she found out that the Emperor was angry, she was even more frightened.

It was necessary to send someone to ask Jia Lian for questioning. Jia Lian was not at home, so he had to call Sister Feng.

As for Mrs. Wang... Mrs. Wang is the head wife of the family, and Mother Jia has no secrets about such important matters.

And Aunt Xue happened to come over to talk to Mrs. Wang. When she heard Mrs. Jia’s summons, she came with her. When she heard this, she was also very surprised.

Sister Feng was stunned for a moment when she heard what Jia Mu relayed about Yuanchun.

Without thinking too much, he hurriedly picked up the key point and asked: "The imperial concubine said that our second master's position as marquis was deprived by the Supreme Emperor?"

"Off Not that bad, but he was demoted from second class to third class."

Phew, that's not bad.

Sister Feng cares about this very much. Although she was ready to lose her title of "Mrs. Marquis", to put it bluntly, even if she was a concubine, there was a huge difference between being a concubine to a Marquis and a concubine to an ordinary person.

It’s like, the emperor’s concubine is a high-ranking concubine, a noble person.

The minister’s concubine is the aunt, commonly known as "half master".

As for the concubines of ordinary people, they are no different from goods.

The difference can be imagined.

When she learned that Jia Lian was not beaten to the end, but kept her identity as a marquis, Sister Feng's mind suddenly moved:

Since the Supreme Emperor objects, right, then the woman will not be able to enter the Jia family?

A different thought flashed across her face, and Sister Feng was still kneeling on the ground with a face on her face, waiting for Jia Mu's instructions.

"The Heavenly Family is merciful, and for the sake of the merits of our ancestors, Lian'er will be spared this time.

But you know Lian'er's temperament, most of them He was very shrewd at that time, but he was prone to being stubborn occasionally. If he didn't repent, he would still be entangled with the eldest princess, and by then he would completely anger Long Yan. I'm afraid that not only would his own achievements be in vain, but even his family would also follow suit. You are in trouble.

You can clearly understand the stakes."

Sister Feng nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, old lady, when the second master comes home, I will give him good advice. ..."

Seeing that Sister Feng's attitude was so good, Jia Mu couldn't continue to blame her.

After all, she also saw that Sister Feng must have found out after Jia Lian and the princess got together. Moreover, she herself definitely doesn't want to see these two people getting involved.

Asking Sister Feng to get up, Jia Mu couldn’t help but teach:

“I often tell you, this man’s family is like a greedy cat, how can he not steal? It’s fishy!

As a woman, you should know how to win over your man’s heart.

It’s better for you, even though there are so many beautiful people in your house, he is not allowed to do this. If he touches it, he won't be allowed to touch it. If things continue like this, how can he not steal food from outside?

I think something like this has happened now, and you, the wife, have to account for half of the reason. !”

Hearing what Jia Mu said, Sister Feng felt extremely aggrieved and couldn’t help but argue: “How could I not let him touch the people in the house? The old lady said so, but it’s unfair to me. "..."

"You still dare to quibble? Let's just talk about Qingwen. Since Lian'er wanted to pass her over, so many years have passed. Last time I heard someone say, She is still a virgin, is there such a thing?"

"This..."

Sister Feng was speechless. This was obviously because Jia Lian had some kind of problem and just kept it without using it. Why is it now her fault?

It was not easy to defend myself in front of Aunt Xue and Mrs. Wang.

Sister Feng’s silence was acquiescence in Jia Mu’s eyes, so she snorted coldly and said: “I also came here from a young age, can I still understand your thoughts?

Just be jealous and willful and have a certain temper. Do you really have no idea what others are talking about you?

Some things are meaningless if you talk too much. Go down and think about it yourself, what are the gains and what are the losses. ”

Oh...

Sister Feng was undecided.

Ever since she was a child, Sister Feng’s heart has always been that Jia’s mother was the condescending wife of the Duke of the country. , are elders worthy of respect.

But since that time she was in trouble, Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang’s indifference to her made her respect for these elders much less.
< br />Of course, it may also be because of the improvement of her own status. In short, she is no longer as obedient to the words of Jia Mu and others.

According to Jia Lian’s meaning, she is no longer as obedient to the words of her elders. , just listen to what to do, just do it.

So Sister Feng listened to Jia Mu’s admonishment with a serious face, and her head kept nodding. But how much did she really listen to? , only she herself knows.

After finally saying goodbye to her elders, and returning home, Sister Feng didn’t have the heart to eat.

After hastily asking someone to take it away, Sister Feng left her alone. She stayed and told Ping'er the news she learned in Rongqing Hall.

One person can be considered as a disadvantage, and two people can be considered as a leader.

In addition to being her personal bodyguard, Ping'er In addition to being a maid, he is also her think tank.

The current situation is quite complicated. She has some ideas, but she is afraid that they are not thorough enough, so she asks Ping'er to advise her.

Ping'er Er also looked solemn when she heard this, and she said: "If this is really the case, it may be a good thing for the second grandma. ”

As Sister Feng’s maid, Ping’er and Sister Feng’s interests are naturally highly consistent.

She also doesn’t want Sister Feng to lose her current status.

　“You feel the same way? "Sister Feng's expression is bright, her eyebrows are slightly raised, and she is very happy.

Compromise is a helpless move in the face of the general trend, which is also called knowing the current affairs. If you have It is a choice, who is willing to give up his status and be small with others?

“It’s just the second master’s place...”

After hearing Ping’er’s hesitant reminder, Sister Feng then Suppress the excitement.

She understood what Ping'er meant, because she was also very familiar with Jia Lian's personality and temperament, and was not someone who gave in easily.

Although On the surface, Jia Lian has no possibility of resisting the Supreme Emperor, but Sister Feng actually has a feeling in her heart that she cannot be happy too early!

"I know your second master's temper. He is not an impulsive person. . If the imperial concubine does not haveSeriously, the Supreme Emperor is really unable to be accommodating. You, the Second Master, will not do something knowingly knowing that it cannot be done.

It’s just that there’s no guarantee that he doesn’t have other thoughts in his heart.

Furthermore, he was used to having things go smoothly, so he would feel uncomfortable if he suffered a setback this time.

No wonder he didn’t go home immediately after what happened, but went to the military camp instead. He definitely didn’t want to go home and face us..."

Thinking of this, Sister Feng She was inexplicably lucky.

She knew what Jia Lian was like when he was in a bad mood. This point can be understood by knowing the fate of the Yang brothers and sisters (Jia Cong’s maternal uncle), as well as the Lai family and other slaves. .

If today, instead of hearing about this from Jia’s mother and others, Jia Lian came back and told her, if she showed joy in front of Jia Lian and was noticed by him...

I don’t know why, Sister Feng felt a little scared in her heart. Obviously, she felt that even so, Jia Lian would not do anything to her.

She was very worried about her cowardly thinking. Dissatisfied, Sister Feng continued her analysis: "When this happened, your second master must be in a bad mood. Please tell me and ask the people in the courtyard to be more careful and don't make mistakes that offend him.

You also have to be smart. If he doesn’t mention it, don’t mention it in front of him. Just pretend you don’t know about it. "

Ping'er nodded quickly. She was still worried that Sister Feng would get carried away and make Jia Lian unhappy. Hearing her instructions, Ping'er felt very happy.

The Second Mistress went through this He has grown up a lot and has become more sophisticated.

"Also, we have to think of a way to make your second master happy and try to make him forget this matter as soon as possible. Humph, it’s best to completely forget about that unknown woman! "

Hearing Sister Feng's heartless words, Ping'er was a little helpless.

It was clear that yesterday she was still a princess, and it was very useful to other princesses to call her sister, and she was also very helpful to herself. It is said that with the princess, the second master’s career will definitely develop faster and better.

Will he become “that ominous woman” today?

But Ping'er thinks Sister Feng's idea is right. In the current situation, it would be better for the second master to forget about the princess.
