Chapter five hundred and sixty sixth: Negotiation

After hearing the sophistry words of Princess Guo County, Old Concubine Xue didn't know whether to laugh or get angry.

I really doubt whether this daughter-in-law has taken the wrong medicine recently. She is still smart on weekdays. Why is she so confused recently? No matter how unfamiliar, she is still a family member of her mother. How can she allow outsiders to plot at will?

This can be seen from the fact that the Princess Guo County wanted to instigate Li to marry the Meng family so that the Princess Guo County could get some benefits, but was plotted against him.

I wanted to plot against others, but I was plotted against me by others. I didn’t learn the lesson, but I wanted to take advantage of it but didn’t want to pay the price. I used to be a small fight, but now I have come up with such a stupid move.

Speaking of which, I underestimated the dowry nanny of Princess Guo County, and even found out about this.

Just as she was about to scold Princess Guo County, she saw Mama Xin hurried in and whispering a few words in the ear of Old Concubine Xue. Old Concubine Xue's expression changed suddenly.

The princess of Guo County twitched his eyes and didn't know what happened again, so he didn't dare to ask.

At this time, the old concubine Xue spoke and said, "What happened to your dowry nanny's family?"

"What happened?" Princess Guo was shocked and didn't bother to say respectful words. She knew that the old nanny had all the news found by her nephew.

The old lady's family was released from the mansion in the early years. Her nephew knew some people from all walks of life outside, so he was very informed and often found out about things that others could not find out about. This time, the old lady's nephew was found out by the old lady's nephew.

Old Concubine Xue glanced at Princess Guo County and said lightly: "It's not a big deal. It's just that the water has gone away. More than ten people in the family were burned to death.

"Ah!" Princess Guo County couldn't help but exclaim. More than a dozen people were burned to death. It was so miserable that she couldn't help but murmur, "How could this happen?"

"Is it strange?" Old Concubine Xue sneered, "All day after day, I'm asking about other people's privacy. If you know what you shouldn't know, what good ending can you expect? You must know that the things he inquired about are not ordinary people, either powerful or noble, or all the people. In short, they are not easy to mess with, and what good ending can you expect?"

Princess Guo County was scared, but said: "Maybe it was an accident. The weather was dry and the things were dry. I heard that the city had fires several times."

"Does your mind be all wet?" Old Concubine Xue cursed a civilized saying, "When you think about it carefully, more than a dozen people will not be crowded in a room, people in a few rooms, and several strong men. Even if the fire is about to burn at night, it will still be burned one by one, and it will not spread all at once. There will always be people who are burned to the fire. You can throw a chicken into the fire and slap it a few times. How could none of them escape? It was clearly silenced."

Princess Guo County still said stubbornly: "Even if that's the case, it may not be the cause of this."

"Okay, since you think so, go back, pretend I haven't said it." Old Concubine Xue said again, "Be careful when sleeping at night, especially the candlelight should be extinguished, so as not to have a fire in your house that day."

"No, no?" Princess Guo County became even more scared. This was Princess Guo County. There were countless guards in the mansion. How could a thief break in?

Old Concubine Xue stopped talking, but just looked at Princess Guo County quietly, smiling, then took out a peace talisman and threw it to Princess Guo County.

Princess Guo took it and saw that it was the peace talisman she had asked for in the temple. It was always kept close to her body. How could she be in the hands of the old concubine Xue? Thinking of this, she hurriedly took out the sachet where she had the peace talisman and opened it, but found that it was just a white paper the size of the peace talisman inside. She couldn't help but say in surprise: "Old concubine, what's going on?"

Old Concubine Xue said with a blank expression: "You don't need to know this. As long as you know, since I can quietly get your close-fitting things, others can get them. Maybe that day, the sachet will not be filled with paper, but with poisonous snakes."

Princess Guo County was full of horror.

The old concubine Xue then said, "After all, you are young. Although you are from a great man, you still have some knowledge. There are countless capable people under your hands. It is easy for some people to kill someone quietly. Sometimes you may not know what's going on when you die. And you don't know who will do it."

"There are so many guards in the mansion, are they all puppets and mud-wort?" Princess Guo became scared.

Old Concubine Xue said: "There are people outside, and there are heavens outside. If you stay in the small world of Prince Guo's Mansion all day long, you think you are smart and amazing, but you don't know what the world is like outside. I have lived to this age and have seen many methods."

"I...what should I do?" Princess Guo County shivered.

"You know you're scared now?" Old Concubine Xue glanced at her and sighed, "How many times have you warned you that some people cannot be messed with. Don't listen, let's see what they are like now? Don't mention you, an ignorant woman in the inner hut, even if your man is going to greet the Dajing mission, so many master guards are not hundreds or thousands of times stronger than the guards in our mansion? As a result, something happened just like an accident. The journey that could be reached in a month after death, but it took several months to arrive. There was a plague. Do you really think it was an accident?"

"It is naturally not an accident that this criminal attacked the delegation. Some people have always wanted to destroy the relationship between Dazhou and Dajing." Princess Guo County still knew a little about the situation in the court.

"It's not that simple." When the old concubine Xue said this, she suddenly closed her mouth and said for a while, "Forget it, I don't want to say too much, so as not to let you miss it. I'll let my old bones cause trouble."

When Princess Guo heard the words of the old concubine Xue, she didn't continue. She felt unbearable, but she did not dare to urge the old concubine Xue. She just whispered: "Old concubine, please show you a way for your wife."

The old concubine Xue paused for a long time, and after she waited anxiously, she said, "If you still want to listen to me, don't do stupid things anymore, otherwise I will move to the small Buddhist temple to live. You can do whatever you want, and don't ask me to discuss anything if something happens.

"No, no, please ask the old concubine to save her wife." Princess Guo was completely frightened, her face pale, and she begged repeatedly.

"How can I save you, an old woman who is about to fall into the ground?" Old Concubine Xue sighed, "All I can do is give you some advice. Don't use these clever tricks to scheming people anymore. Smartness is mistaken by cleverness, and do less mistakes."

"But what should I do now?" Princess Guo County felt cold all over when she thought that the old nanny's family was burned to death.

"If you don't harm others, they are too lazy to work hard on you. Killing people is not as simple as killing a chicken. People who do big things will not do things that harm others and not benefit themselves like some petty women." There is an indescribable sarcasm in the words of the Old Concubine Xue.

Princess Guo County was immediately ashamed of shame, but she had always been like this in front of the old lady Xue recently and had become accustomed to it.

At this time, my mother Xin came in again and said that it was Mrs. Meng who was visiting.

Princess Guo was shocked again. She had a ghost in her heart. She was worried that Mrs. Meng had heard some news and came to the door to ask for guilt.

To find an excuse to avoid seeing him, Old Concubine Xue guessed what she was thinking and said lightly: "If someone doubts, if you don't see him, wouldn't you tell me yourself? You'd better see him and listen to what Mrs. Meng said, it might not be for the things you did. Besides, you just have an idea and have not taken action. As long as you don't admit it, who can do what?"

Princess Guo County thought about it, so she ordered the maid to invite Mrs. Meng to the flower hall to serve tea, and she arrived later.

After changing the clothes for the guests and reorganizing his makeup, Princess Guo came out to see Mrs. Meng. After such procrastination, it was inevitable that Mrs. Meng would be a little late, which made Mrs. Meng wait for a long time.

As a noble lady who has received strict etiquette education, Princess Guo County first compensated Mrs. Meng as soon as she came out. "I'm sorry for letting the wife wait for a long time. I'm sorry for something. I've been delayed just now. Please forgive me."

"It doesn't matter, I happened to appreciate the decorations of the flower hall of the County Prince's Mansion." Mrs. Meng said with a smile, "I heard that the Princess of Guo County is the daughter of a great man. The decorations of this flower hall are indeed unusual and unique, especially the calligraphy and paintings on the wall, which are all works by several famous masters of this dynasty."

"Mrs. Meng praised it." Princess Guo became modest, "This painting is the favorite of our prince, and it is also for everyone to give face. If the lady likes it, please pick one back later."

Mrs. Meng waved her hand, "How can this be done? After all, it is the prince of the county. Besides, our Meng family was originally a family of military generals, and she didn't understand these things. Hanging calligraphy and paintings in our house is like a pearl covering the dust."

"These calligraphy and paintings are appreciated. Our princes of the county likes calligraphy and paintings, and they also like to give them to those who appreciate them." Princess of Guo County was determined to make up for his previous mistakes and tried his best to persuade Mrs. Meng to accept the calligraphy and paintings.

Mrs. Meng refused a few times, but was still disrespectful, and then said, "By the way, why didn't you see Lewen? How are Lewen doing recently?"

"Oh, she went to her uncle's house. Her cousins ​​are about to leave the house and go to get together." Princess Guo replied with a smile. In fact, Lewen was in a bad mood and stayed at her uncle's house for a few days.

"It's so bad. I said I haven't seen Lewen for a few days." Mrs. Meng said, feeling a little regretful.

"Yes, if I had known that my wife was coming, I would have taken Lewen back as soon as possible." Princess Guo County said politely.

"I don't know if it's Le Wen's cousin who is married, who is married..." Mrs. Meng asked casually.

Princess Guo answered one by one, and as she talked about gossip, she felt a little relieved. According to the topic, Mrs. Meng did not seem to be here to seek punishment, so that would be fine, but she was also a little puzzled about the purpose of Mrs. Meng's trip.

The two of them are future in-laws, and it would be fine if they say they visit each other, but she and Mrs. Meng are not from the same place, so it is difficult to get together, so Mrs. Meng will not come if she has nothing to do.

After asking about Le Wen's cousin sisters, Mrs. Meng suddenly sighed, changed the topic and said, "Our master has fallen and injured recently, otherwise he should have visited him in person."

"How is Mr. Meng's injury? I heard it's very serious? I also said I'll visit him in two days." Princess Guo sent someone to visit him after Meng Ye fell, but in the end he was dissatisfied with the Meng family. Prince Guo was not in the mansion at this time, so she did not come to him in person. Now that Mrs. Meng mentioned it, she couldn't help but feel guilty again.

"The injury is quite serious. The imperial physician said he would take a rest for a while." Mrs. Meng said and wiped the corners of her eyes.

"Madam, don't worry too much. The person who is a god will have a look. Master Meng will definitely get better." Princess Guo comforted her, but she felt a little disdainful. Now no one knows that Meng is completely paralyzed. Mrs. Meng avoids the important things and says nothing more than recuperating for a while, which is to cultivate for a lifetime.

"Ji Yan, Princess Cheng County, I hope so." Mrs. Meng said, rubbing the corners of her eyes again, pretending to be smiling, "To be honest, there is something that is really a bit embarrassed, but I must mention it, I hope the Princess of the County can accomplish it."

"Mrs. I have something to say, you and I will be in-laws soon. What can I say?" Princess Guo knew that Mrs. Meng must have come to her house, not just to ask for punishment. In order to cover up the previous incident, she planned to agree as long as Mrs. Meng's request was not too outrageous.

Mrs. Meng then said, "That's right. Our master was injured, so the whole family planned to take him back to his hometown to recuperate. Originally, the prince of the county was not in the mansion, so we shouldn't mention this matter at this time, but our hometown is a distance from Yancheng. I don't know when we will come back... I wondered if we would let Lewen pass the door quickly and go back to his hometown to worship his ancestors together?"

"This... is a bit hasty, our county prince is not here... Besides, our two families are both well-known families, so the marriage cannot be too hasty." Princess Guo didn't know how to refuse for a while. She was not happy about this marriage at first. Now she had to say that she would have to marry her daughter in a hasty way and follow the Meng family to another place, so she was even more unwilling.

Mrs. Meng said, "Isn't this a matter of rushing to power? No one would have thought that this is true for us master. This time we will have to recuperate in our hometown for two or three years. If we don't hold a marriage at this time, we will probably be delayed."

After saying this, Princess Guo County was a little hesitant again. What Mrs. Meng said makes sense. If she did not marry Lewen at this time, the Meng family would return to her hometown and come back for two or three years, Lewen would become an old girl. Meng Guang's young man was full of energy and needed someone around her. If she didn't marry her daughter, if the Meng family had taken on some concubine for her son, she might have to get a concubine's eldest son out.

For a moment, Princess Guo was in a dilemma and didn't know how to answer.

At this time, a maid came and whispered a few words in the ear of Princess Guo County.

The Princess Guo County suddenly changed her face again, and she hurriedly said to Mrs. Meng: "Please sit for a while, and I'll go."
