Qing Dynasty: After Kangxi Kowloon heard my voice

Chapter 149 Who is the Yellow Bird?

"Joining forces with outsiders?" The Fifth Lady paused while holding the tea. Guo Luoluo? The Fifth Lady glanced at Concubine Yi. Did Mother tell Ninth Brother and Ninth Brother's wife? After all, Mother always favored Ninth Brother.

Wen Yao nodded, "Yes, she teamed up with outsiders. In fact, the Ninth Master and I didn't notice it at first. It was the servants around me who found out that she had contact with the Tenth Brother's princess, no, now the concubine Guo Luoluo. You know, mother, both of them don't have a good relationship with me, so the servants around me kept an eye on them. Later, the Tenth Brother interrogated Guo Luoluo and found out that they wanted to team up with Guo Luoluo's mother, Niu Hulu, to send someone to the Ninth Master."

Concubine Yi looked at Wen Yao and said, "That's quite bold. What is Xiao Jiu going to do when she finds out?"

"Oh, if only it were just like this, mother, fifth sister-in-law, you don't know that there are people behind this instigating things," Wen Yao sighed, "Nineth Master and Tenth Brother are very sad now."

The Fifth Lady looked at Wen Yao and saw the expression on Concubine Yi's face. It seemed that she had been worrying too much. Mother didn't tell Ninth Sister-in-law, so she knew about it? She was lucky. However, the Fifth Lady regained her composure and asked, "Is there someone behind this? Does Ninth Sister-in-law know who it is?"

"It was Eighth Brother and Eighth Sister-in-law," Wen Yao sighed again, "Ninth Master and Tenth Brother have always had a close relationship with Eighth Brother. Ninth Master really didn't expect that it would be Eighth Brother and Eighth Sister-in-law who plotted against him behind the scenes. Eighth Sister-in-law wanted to stop, and in fact she did, but it was because of Eighth Sister-in-law's people who were bribed by Hesheli Hengruo's people," Wen Yao spread her hands and shook her head.

After Wen Yao swallowed the dried fruit, she said, "What else can I do? I can only break it into pieces and swallow it. Jiu Ye said that since it happened with Eighth Brother and Eighth Sister-in-law, let it be. Otherwise, how can we still be brothers? Jiu Ye... was holding back his anger, so he directly said that there was no need to worry about the legitimate son, but if the legitimate son did not come out, he would never take concubines, and would never favor them. It's all the fault of Hexi Ke!"

Wen Yao looked at Concubine Yi and said, "Mother, this was not instigated by my daughter-in-law. It was Master Jiu who was really... furious."

Concubine Yi's eyelids jumped. She looked at Wen Yao's pretending to be silly and cute eyes, and thought about her own Xiao Jiu's stingy look. So generous? Impossible! This is not her son and daughter-in-law!

Until she caught a glimpse of the Fifth Lady's expression, Concubine Yi looked carefully at Wen Yao's uncontrollable smile, "..." So you were waiting here, very good! Well done!

Concubine Yi then smiled faintly, "I am not unreasonable. I treat Lao Wu and Xiao Jiu equally and will not take the initiative to give them people. But if it is the emperor's order, I can't refuse." She looked at Wen Yao, "He Xike is too bold. You should also restrain yourself."

"Yes, your daughter-in-law obeys your command," Wen Yao wanted Concubine Yi to say this. Originally, Hexik first informed Concubine Yi, so Concubine Yi did not give the order. If she punished Hexik, regardless of the severity, it would be a slap in the face of Concubine Yi. So no matter whether to punish him or not, she had to inform Concubine Yi first.

"This time, my ninth sister-in-law has turned a disaster into a blessing," Fifth Lady looked up at Wen Yao with a smile, "The Hexike family lost more than they gained. No matter what, they should not have teamed up with outsiders to plot against you, my ninth sister-in-law."

"Fifth sister-in-law, she didn't plot against me, but against Ninth Brother," Wen Yao blinked and looked at Fifth Lady, "Fifth sister-in-law, if she plotted against me, it would just be a fight for favor in the backyard, all for Ninth Master. I'm not afraid of their plotting, but the only thing I can't tolerate is plotting against Ninth Master, I can't tolerate that."

Wen Yao looked very angry. "My husband worked so hard to earn money and status for us, but when he got home in the middle of the night, his house was robbed. How heartbreaking! I feel so disappointed for Master Jiu for seeing Heshik's ungrateful behavior."

[It smells more and more like white lotus. Wait, is this white lotus or green tea? Never mind, they are almost the same.] Wen Yao couldn't tell the difference between white lotus and green tea, but it was quite refreshing. [Hahahahahahahaha... Who told the fifth sister-in-law not to stare at the concubines in the fifth brother's backyard, but to stare at me to make a presence? Who gave you the face!]

The Fifth Lady's expression did not change. "I was wrong. That's right. You can plot against us in a harem fight, but you can't plot against me. How do you plan to deal with Heshik?"

"Hasn't Master Jiu dealt with them? He doesn't favor them because of Heshik. This is the biggest punishment. Forget about the others. They are not necessary." Wen Yao waved her hand. "But they still need to be confined to their homes, otherwise they will cause trouble again. As for the others, forget about it."

Concubine Yi's eyelids twitched. This is not what she calls it. House arrest and loss of favor, isn't this a punishment?

After leaving Yikun Palace and returning to the prince's residence, Matron Cui He stood beside Wen Yao and said, "Master, will the Fifth Lady really tell the Eighth Lady about this as we wish? I feel that the Fifth Lady is a bit...jealous."

"She is not jealous. In fact, she has never changed. She just wants to save face and wants to act like the eldest sister-in-law in Yikun Palace. But now she has gained power in the fifth brother's backyard. She is different from before and has the confidence. But compared with me in Yikun Palace, she has no confidence," Wen Yao chuckled. "She wants me to sympathize with her, so that she can stand up straight in front of me."

"Will it be enough to make the master alienated from Master Jiu? The master went to comfort her at first." Madam Cui He never liked the Fifth Lady, and now she dislikes her even less. "Has the Fifth Lady really not changed at all?"

"She thinks she has changed, but in fact she hasn't changed at all. She is just like the height of this window. It has always been this high. Only when others are shorter will she appear taller, not because she herself has become taller." Wen Yao raised her eyelids. "I went to comfort her, and didn't do anything else. If something happened to me, she would also come to comfort me. Why is Madam angry?"

"I am not angry, I just feel unfair for my master. The Fifth Prince and the Ninth Prince are brothers," Cui He has been focusing on Yinqi and Yinzhen.

"The relationship between Fifth Brother and Ninth Master is the same as before. I don't have any life-and-death feud with Fifth Lady. Madam, you should be used to it. Which eldest sister-in-law doesn't want to be the eldest sister-in-law?" Wen Yao laughed and looked at Madam Cui He. "This is a very common thing. You will see that after Fifth Sister-in-law tells Eighth Lady about this, she will come and tell me and Ninth Master directly."

Matron Cui He was stunned for a moment, "I am obsessed with appearances." As long as they don't hurt the master, it's fine. Everyone else has their own selfish desires. Do we have to make everyone only think about their master? Why is she going backwards as she grows older?

"You are too worried about me," Wen Yao poked Matron Cui He's hand. Matron Cui He was just too worried about her. As for the Fifth Lady, she had always wanted to drag her into the quagmire, but wasn't she also using her?
