In the capital city, outside the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, horses and people stopped all the way. Duanyang, who had been driving for three days and three nights, finally came back. He was very smart and did not go directly into the mansion. Instead, he went to a house in the alley outside the back door of the Hou's mansion.
"Lingya, go to the house and call your mother back quietly. Don't disturb others." Duanyang ordered hurriedly without even bothering to drink water.
A little girl who was about five or six years old said bluntly, "Okay, uncle, just wait, I will call my mother right away." Then she ran out.
It turns out that this is Duanyang’s sister’s home. His sister is now the steward of the kitchen in the Crown Prince's courtyard. If you want to know about the lady's situation, it is natural to ask her.
Only two quarters of an hour later, a capable woman in her thirties rushed back in a hurry.
"Yangzi, why are you back? But what is the prince's order?" This capable woman is Duanyang's sister. Her original name was Luyun. She was one of the maids who married the prince's wife. The prince's original long-term attendant is now married to He Man, the second housekeeper in the mansion, and is called Lady Man.
Lady Man’s shout woke up Duanyang who was dozing on the Kang table. He hadn’t slept for three days and three nights, and Duanyang couldn’t hold on any longer.
"Sister, how are you, madam? Are you giving birth?" Duanyang, who was awakened, did not answer immediately. He picked up the leftover tea on the table and poured it on his face. After waking up, he asked urgently. got up.
"Alas! You are... Madam gave birth five days ago, and she is indeed a young lady... Madam has now been taken back to Guozi Jijiu Mansion by our old lady for confinement. The three young masters and the young lady They are all in the Guozi Jiji Winery. Everything is fine!"
Mrs. Man sighed sadly, took out the handkerchief tucked in her lapel, and wiped the water from her brother's face quickly. started talking.
"Ah! Madam is really giving birth. Doesn't it take more than a month to give birth? Why is she giving birth now?" Duanyang couldn't help but exclaimed. His general knew when his wife was due to give birth, and Duanyang remembered it after hearing it often.
"You know better! Lingya, go play at the door. If someone comes and shouts."
Mrs. Man first sent her daughter who was standing aside with her big eyes blinking away. Then he lowered his voice and said: "Brother, you are the most trusted person by the Crown Prince. I tell you, you will definitely report it to the Crown Prince after you go back. Madam was born prematurely because she was harmed. Someone sprinkled water on Madam's daily walk. The lady fell down and had a premature birth. "Who is it? Who killed the lady? Are the lady and the girl okay?" Duanyang was shocked when he heard this. The voice of the question was trembling.
Duanyang follows his general every day, so he naturally knows how much the general values his wife and how much he looks forward to the birth of the girl.
"Hey, Mrs. Hou is in charge now, do you still expect to be able to find out? Fortunately, Miss, although Madam was in danger, luckily she was saved.His life should be fine now. "
Mrs. Man sighed helplessly. Think about it four years ago when the wife was still there, how could such a murder of the prince's wife happen in the house.
"Sister... ...You go on quickly! " Duanyang saw that his sister was only speaking half of what she said, so she couldn't help urging her anxiously.
Mrs. Man took a long breath and whispered: "Although Madam gave birth prematurely, she gave birth to the girl safely. But who would have thought that less than half an hour after the birth of the young lady, the madam suffered a sudden collapse of blood, and the palace did not invite the imperial doctor. The palace doctor had taken leave the day earlier due to something else, so Mrs. Hou sent someone to ask for the imperial doctor with Mr. Hou's post. But what came was Dr. Liu, who specializes in orthopedics, and it was said that Dr. Sun, who specializes in gynecology and pediatrics, was ordered to enter the palace..."
"Damn old godly woman! " Duanyang's face turned livid when he heard this, and he couldn't help gritting his teeth and cursed.
"Brother! No nonsense! She is still Mrs. Hou no matter what! We can never scold the master no matter what..." Madam Man scolded her with a straight face.
"Bah, what kind of master is she? Our only masters are the Grand Concubine, the Marquis, the Marquis, the Marquis, the Marquis, the Prince, and his wife. " Duanyang whispered angrily.
Mrs. Man sighed again, lowered her voice and said: "Brother, we can think so in our hearts, but we dare not say it openly. In any case, the Marquis married her in a serious manner. Although she was a step-wife, the Marquis also applied for a title for her. Now she is a serious Madam of the Marquis of Zhenbei, and she would not dare to do the following again. "
"Humph! Sister, please tell me next, who rescued the madam, and how was the madam picked up by her in-laws? " Duanyang snorted unconvinced, and then asked.
Thinking of the situation that day, Lady Man laughed again: "To say that our young masters are all smart and astute, when the second young master heard about it, The wife was about to give birth, so she asked the two brothers Ayong and Ali to guard the third son, while he secretly ran to find the eldest son. The eldest son immediately took a leave of absence from school and rushed back to guard the wife. The eldest son just arrived in front of the mansion and met Dr. Liu who was invited..."

"I don’t know that the eldest son How did he know that Dr. Liu was not a gynecologist? He didn't even ask and immediately turned around and rushed to the Guozijiu House to beg the old lady. The old lady immediately went to the palace to beg the Queen. The Queen ordered Dr. Sun to come to our house. , and then he took the wife back from the hands of the Prince of Hell. "
Mrs. Man can only speak a few words now, but when she thinks of the situation that day, she still has lingering fears. Thinking about it, it was so dangerous at that time.
If not The second young master went to find the eldest young master. When the eldest young master saw that something was wrong, he immediately went to the in-laws to ask for help. The in-laws immediately went to the palace to ask for help from the queen. The queen immediately ordered the Royal Guards to send Dr. Sun on flying horses. If only one of these steps was delayed. If you take one step forward, your wife's life will really be in danger.
"Since the wife and the young lady are both at the in-laws' house, I will go and pay my respects to the lady. "After Duanyang said something, he got off the kang and put on his shoes.
"Don't worry, I have something important to tell you. You squint for a moment, and I'll cook a bowl of noodles and talk while eating." Madam Man pushed her brother back to the kang, feeling annoyed. glared at him.
Duanyang’s eyes were so full of blood and red, and his lips were split with blood. Mrs. Man was the only younger brother. Their mother left early, and Duanyang was raised by Mrs. Man. Yes, how could she not feel distressed.
"Sister...oh..." Duanyang still wanted to resist, but with the natural blood suppression, Duanyang couldn't help but fainted when Mrs. Man stared.
"It's still early now. My wife is in confinement. How can I get up so early? I can't disturb my wife's recuperation. You have to sleep for a while, eat and then go there. It's just the right time. You can't get up so early." It will wake up the madam."
Mrs. Man explained angrily, then pushed her brother down on the kang, pulled a thin quilt to cover him, but in just one breath, the Dragon Boat Festival started. Little snore. He was really tired.
About half an hour later, Mrs. Man came back with a bowl of refreshing Yangchun noodles.
Duanyang had something on his mind and couldn't sleep well. As soon as Mrs. Man entered the door, he sat up immediately. He rubbed his eyes and said with a smile: "The noodles made by my sister are delicious."
During the Duanyang Festival, while eating the noodles with big mouthfuls, Lady Man sat aside and asked in a low voice: "Brother, are you here? On the day Mrs. Hou gave birth to a girl, Grandma Wang who was next to Mrs. Hou was attacked in the back garden. Most of her hair and scalp were torn off. I heard that her pale skull was exposed, and one of her eyes was pecked out. It looks like Xuan'er did it. Xuan'er has also disappeared. I wonder if he flew to Yongning Pass? Mrs. Hou was furious and said she wanted to kill Xuan'er."
"Yes, Xuan'er. My son flew to Yongning Pass before dawn four days ago. Then he asked me to come back to see what happened. Sister, what happened?" Duanyang quickly finished the noodles and put the bowl aside. Pushing forward, he asked eagerly.
Mrs. Man frowned, shook her head and said, "I don't know what happened. When my wife gave birth, Mrs. Hou led people to guard the outside. There were only two stable women around our wife, Liu. Aunt Chen, Ruiyun Ruixue and the others were blocked in the yard by Mrs. Hou. By the way, that Aunt Wang was with Mrs. Hou at that time."
" She was with Mrs. Hou? When was she scratched? Xuan'er is most humane and will never attack anyone without any special reason." Duanyang frowned and whispered.
Grandma Wang’s injuries were so obvious that it could only be Xuan’er’s doing, and Duanyang could not deny this on Xuan’er’s behalf.
"Well... I heard that it was not long after the young lady was born, and the madam didn't seem to have a collapse of blood at that time." Madam Man thought about the news she had secretly heard in the past few days, and said uncertainly
"What happened? Grandma Wang was following Mrs. Hou, why did she suddenly run into the back garden? HusbandPeople's yards are not close to their back gardens. " Duanyang asked with a frown.
"Who says it's not the case. The strangest thing was that after Grandma Wang was injured, Mrs. Hou first became furious and wanted to kill Xuan'er, and then suddenly issued a hush-hush order, not allowing anyone to mention the matter again. I also spent a lot of effort to find out this little bit of information. Madam Man also frowned and said.
Duanyang thought for a moment and whispered: "Sister, you secretly inquire about the news. If Mrs. Hou finds out, I'm afraid you will eat Gua Luo'er." How about..."
Mrs. Man waved her hands nonchalantly and said with a smile: "It's okay. My father-in-law and your brother-in-law are here to support me. As long as she can't find any faults in my face. , can’t do anything to me. I can't leave, I have to help my wife look after the house. If I don't wait for my wife to come back, it will be even more difficult in the house. "
He Man's father, He Gou'er, was a personal soldier of the old Marquis. He served as a savior on the battlefield in his early years. Later, he stopped joining the army because one of his arms was cut off by a barbarian. Now. He Man has been raised by the Marquis of Zhenbei since he was born, and there is no one he is not familiar with in this mansion, even though he is only the second housekeeper. , but his words are often more effective than those of the housekeeper appointed by Mrs. Hou.
The reason why Mrs. Hou has never dared to touch Lady Man is that Lady Man is extremely cautious and never gives in. When people grasp the handle, they are worried about He Gouer and his son.
