Qing Dynasty: After Kangxi Kowloon heard my voice

Chapter 153: Being courteous for nothing

"Sister-in-law, do you think that Brother Ba is the only one who did this?" Wen Yao winked at Cui He, "Mammy, show these things to Sister-in-law."

When the Eighth Lady heard Wen Yao's words, she knew that she already knew it very well, but she didn't know what these words meant. The Eighth Lady looked at Wen Yao deeply, and then took those things from the nanny beside her.

Wen Yao then slowly sat down, "Eighth sister-in-law, take a good look. Eighth brother wants to place someone next to Ninth Master, that's in Eighth brother's heart. If anyone is angry, it should be Ninth Master who is angry. It doesn't matter to me. Will Ninth Master never take a concubine in his life? As for who that concubine belongs to, who can say for sure? But if I hadn't heard by chance today that the palace maid was involved with the Suo Etu Mansion, I would not know the situation."

"I just checked it out. I didn't know what was going on until I checked it out. I was surprised. I didn't expect that we were all involved in the conspiracy." Wen Yao said, looking at the cold face of the Eighth Lady, and slowly stood up. "I have said and done what I should have done. I don't think I have done anything wrong to the Eighth Sister-in-law. The only question I have is, did you get involved in this matter?"

The Eighth Lady put all the evidence aside and looked at Wen Yao. "I, Guo Luoluo Huishu, have always been daring and responsible. I wanted to accept it at first, but my ninth brother's wife gave me the prescription to treat the disease. I can't be so ungrateful. You and I are both legitimate wives. We hate concubines. We should not impose on others what we do not want others to do to us. So I did not let anyone do it. I did not expect that the man would obey the Eighth Master's orders in the end. I did not expect that this was actually Hesheli Hengruo's calculation. Ninth brother's wife, I still have to say sorry to you. I will explain this matter to the Eighth Master and give you and my ninth brother an explanation."

Wen Yao looked at the Eighth Lady without any evasive eyes, "I believe that Eighth Lady will not do such a thing. As for the others, the ones who should be angry are the Ninth Master and the Tenth Brother. Eighth Lady, it's getting late, I have to go back to the palace."

After sending Wen Yao away, the Eighth Lady returned to the main courtyard, unable to conceal her anger, "Good! Very good, Hesheli Hengruo, I didn't expect that I would fail the first time!"

The nanny beside him stepped forward and said, "Master, perhaps we can turn a disaster into a blessing. The Eighth Master hates being schemed against the most."

The Eighth Lady chuckled, "If it weren't for Ninth Brother's wife, even if the Eighth Master hated being schemed against, he wouldn't have known. There will always be a thorn between the Eighth Master and me. I would lose trust in the Eighth Master, and the Eighth Master would do the same to me. No wonder the Master said that as long as I insisted, that servant wouldn't speak." The Eighth Lady closed her eyes slightly, "It was all Hesheli Hengruo's doing. Good! Very good!"

"Master," the maid stepped forward, "now that we have the evidence in our hands, what should we do next? If this matter gets out, Hesheli Hengruo's reputation will surely be damaged."

The Eighth Lady shook her head and said, "The Empress Yuan is from the Hesheli clan, and this matter must not be spread out. If it gets out, the women of the Hesheli clan will not be wrong, and the ones who are wrong are the others." After all, the Crown Prince is from the Empress Yuan, which is the Hesheli clan, and now Hesheli Hengruo is the daughter of Soetu!

"What I want is the Eighth Master. As for the others...ha, as long as Hesheli Heng completely loses the trust in the Eighth Master, then for me, I have already won this fight," the Eighth Lady doesn't care about other things. She only cares about where the Eighth Master's heart is.

Household Department.

Yinzhen sat at the desk and looked at Yinlu who was leisurely in front of him, "What's the matter with you? Is the Ministry of Personnel okay?"

"If there is something, it is someone else's business. Fourth brother, I am here to give you a shop. Do you want it?" Yinzhen lay on the desk and looked at Yinzhen. "There are many shops here. Do you want them? Even if you don't want them, you have to think about Honghui."

Yinzhen raised his eyelids. He was being too attentive for no reason. He was either a traitor or a thief. "What do you want? I don't believe you are so kind. Where is the shop from? Whose shop is it? My eighth brother's? My eighth brother doesn't have much, Wei?"

Yinzhen curled his lips, "Fourth brother is so boring, it's Wei's. Since Eighth brother dared to plot against me, I can't do anything to Eighth brother. The emperor doesn't like it, but it doesn't matter if I do something to Wei's. Besides, this is normal business competition, which is reasonable. Do you want it?"

"Not giving it to my tenth brother, but giving it to me? Want to drag me into this?" Yinzhen thought about it carefully. What his ninth brother meant was very clear. If it were in the past, Yinzhen would not have taken it, but he knew that now that the emperor was investigating the Uya clan, he was afraid that all the bondservants were being thoroughly investigated by the emperor, and the Uya clan was not clean!

Yinzhen would not have anything to do with the Uya clan's things, but he didn't have anything else either. After all, almost all of Empress Xiaoyi's things were given to the imperial concubine. So it was okay for him to accept the Wei clan's shop that Yinzhen gave him this time. He would then register it under the name of his wife.

Even if something happens to the Uya clan in the future, I will have nothing to supply...others!

"The private treasury of the tenth brother is in the hands of my wife. How much money did my father give him before? He spent it all. With my father here, the tenth brother will not suffer any loss. But this is from the eighth brother, so I will not let the tenth brother get involved. Fourth brother, just say one word, do you want it or not? If you don't want it, there are many people who want it," Yinzhen raised his eyebrows slightly, "You have never been a dabbler."

"I want those shops. I will have people take over them," Yinzhen looked at Yinzhen, "clean them up and don't hinder me. Don't think that I won't dare to beat you just because you saved Honghui."

"Got it!" Yinzhen decisively turned around and left. He didn't seem to be with the fourth brother at all. Not only was he icy, but his eyesight was also very sharp. More importantly, his methods were also powerful. He had better retreat quickly.

Nancheng Hutong, Beijing.

Wen Yao changed into a rather worn-out set of clothes, her skin becoming darker and rougher due to her own efforts. She took Xiao Xia into the alley, while Cui He and Xiao Dong asked them to go inspect other shops.

Wen Yao and Xiao Xia were familiar with the route. They turned left and right and entered a small square courtyard which was full of people. A few beggars had just left, so Wen Yao and Xiao Xia stepped aside to make way for them. Finally they entered. There was only a young man wearing patched clothes and with slightly fair skin left in the courtyard.

The young man looked Wen Yao and Xiao Xia up and down, and suddenly seemed to remember who they were, "So it's you two, should I bow?" He immediately bowed and stepped forward, "I'm here to pay my respects to the Ninth Lady? Is this how it should be?"

"Okay, there's only your brother Xuan here, there's no such thing as Jiu or anything like that," Wen Yao walked to a table and sat down without caring whether it was clean or not.

Xiao Xia ran over and patted the boy on the shoulder, "Get up."

The young man looked at Wen Yao sitting down and laughed, "As expected of you, Brother Xuan. I thought you were going to despise us beggars, but you never come to my temple for no reason. Is there something you need this time? Wait a minute, Brother Xuan, you could do anything before, but now that you have gone to heaven, we can't do anything."
