I smiled and ignored her as I continued to lead the maidservants towards the main hall where Aunt Chen lived.

Aunt Chen had received the letter long ago. She still did the same as last time, sending the little girl to stand under the veranda and waiting for me at the edge of the curtain by the door.

From what Lan Li had said, Lan Zhizi had gone to Aunt Chen's courtyard and taken over some tasks that very night. There were also a few other wives who understood the matters concerning the production of these women, so it was rather similar.

At this moment, Lan Zhi was helping Lady Chen to stand at the doorstep. When she saw me, her eyes lit up. When Lady Chen greeted me, she smiled and quickly bent her knee.

I winked at her mischievously.

Lan Zhi hurriedly straightened her expression and slowly helped Aunt Chen to sit on the brick bed. She turned around and scolded a young maid, "You don't have sharp eyes! "Didn't you see that the concubine was talking to the young mistress? She doesn't even know how to pour you a bowl of tea!"

The young maid quickly complied and quickly entered the inner room, thinking that she had gone to get the tea skewers.

Compared to a few days ago, Aunt Chen's belly had grown even larger, and she stood tall and imposing in front of her. With great difficulty, she shifted her body. Aunt Chen, who was half sitting and half leaning on a pair of satin pillows embroidered with a Hundred Children's Play, slightly revealed a face that was like a full moon. She apologetically nodded at me and said, "My stomach is really too heavy! "Miss, please forgive me!

I was also someone who came over at this time, how could I not understand the unspeakable pain she was feeling right now? I hurriedly comforted her with a smile, "Right now, you are doing fine, better than anything! You don't have to be so polite with me. You can feel free to do whatever you want! "

Aunt Chen smiled in agreement and pulled out another pillow. She leaned on the arm of the bed and held her stomach as she talked to me.

"It was all thanks to Miss sending Miss Lan Zhi here that I got the rules. "Ever since I arrived here, I've been following by my side without missing a single step. Whether it's my food or food, check them all for me. Even my own sister can only treat me like this!" He held Lan Zhi's hand and said with a smile, "How nice it would be if such a considerate and considerate person could stay in my room forever!"

Lan Zhi's face immediately paled. She looked at me with a terrified expression, afraid that I would say something that would go with the flow.

She could even say such words!

This Lady Chen was really something. Ever since she became an aunt, she had never stopped!

This is not a good time to take care of it. He's plotting against my people again!

When the maidservant brought the tea up, Lan Zhi threw Lady Chen's hand away and personally served two bowls of tea to the kang in front of me.

I picked up one of them and picked up the leaves on it. After taking a sip, I started talking again and said with a smile, "Aunt is being too modest! Originally, I thought that you were a member of the Zhou and Mu Families, but from the looks of it, you're quite a picky person! I also often told Lan Li, Lu Ke, and the others that I need to find someone like her to be the mother in charge of our family's justice! "

When Lady Chen heard this, she pursed her lips. Perhaps it was because she thought that I had always been as I said and was afraid that I would remove her arm, she embarrassedly changed the topic and started talking about her body.

Seeing that her face was rosy, I could tell that these few days weren't uncomfortable at all. I just said that my stomach was getting heavier, and even my legs had swollen up a lot. They all had normal pregnancy reactions, so I called the few women out. Judging from the size of her stomach, it should be around the end of this month and the beginning of next month.

I nodded, still telling them to be careful. They also asked about the midwife, saying that they had already decided on it. They only needed to wait for the concubine's stomach to drop before inviting her to stay in a room at the back. The other items for the children, the boy's portion, the girl's portion, had all been prepared, and even the delivery room had been set up.

The leading lady in the group smiled and said, "It's the concubine who is about to fall. There shouldn't be any problems!"

Lan Li saw my expression and hurriedly took out three or four taels of silver from her purse and gave it to the old woman who replied.

A few of the wives expressed their gratitude and left the room. I chatted with Aunt Chen for a bit before I brought Lan Lingyun out of her room.

I said I wanted to borrow some people, but after a long struggle, I couldn't find a trace of them. Lan Ling panicked. As soon as I stepped out of the courtyard, she tugged on my sleeve. I laughed and asked her, "What are you doing?"

"Miss, who exactly do you want to borrow?"

Lan Ling's bitter face stared straight at me.

Seeing her upset and wronged expression, I couldn't help but burst out laughing. I pointed to the northwest corner of the flower garden and said, "If you head towards the east wind, you'll definitely be able to blow the person we want over!"

Lan Li followed me up to the pavilion and muttered, "What are we going to do here? These were all the concubines' residences! Could it be that you can borrow people from the concubines? "

I smiled and didn't answer.

After getting off the pavilion, they walked past a small fake mountain and followed a winding path that led to a yard.

I couldn't help but exclaim in my heart.

Truly, every time I see this courtyard, my heart feels like it's been punched by a fist. It's so sore and sore that I can't shed tears, and I have nowhere to go!

The little girl at the entrance was sweeping the floor when she saw me. She was dumbfounded and didn't know how to greet me. Suddenly, he threw away the broom in his hand, pushed open the door, and ran in. As he did so, he shouted, "Aunt! Aunt! Miss is here! "The young miss is here!"

As if I were a tiger!

Lan Li and I curled our lips. Seeing her gloating expression, we kicked her when she wasn't paying attention.

Lan Li couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice, "You're really something! My shoes are new! "

Not long later, Aunt Wang came out, escorted by two or three maidservants. The one in the lead still had a golden hairpin and wore a pair of small golden gourd earplugs on her tender earlobes.

When Aunt Wang saw me, there was a distinct smile on her face. She quickly took my hand and asked, "Are you cold?" Have you had breakfast? Did you come here, or did you come in a warm sedan? "

His own mother had seen her children, most of them.

He couldn't tell the main point of the matter and could only focus on caring about the child's warmth and coolness.

I smiled and answered, then helped her into the room and sat down on the kang across from her.

It was only then that Aunt Wang thought of asking me, "Why are you here?" Aren't we supposed to listen to our mothers? "

I smiled as I took the teacup from the maid and said, "I want to borrow a person from Aunt!"

Aunt Wang was stunned for a moment before looking around her room to see who it was. "If you've taken a fancy to, you can just take it with you!"

I pointed to the one with the gold hairpin.

Aunt Wang paused and gave me an inquiring look.

You know who she is, but you can still talk.

I knew that she wasn't an ordinary girl, but was instead a concubine of Aunt Wang's that year. She followed me to the Lu family, and later, her face was opened, becoming a concubine who helped Aunt Wang manage the household chores.

After a few meetings, this woman's crisp and valiant words left a deep impression on me. It was likely that with Aunt Wang's soft and weak personality, she would not be at a disadvantage even in the Lu family's three rooms and three rooms. It was likely that this maid had contributed greatly!

I smiled and nodded. "That's her!"

Aunt Wang didn't ask any more questions and just called out to her, "Mei Niang, then you can go with the young miss!"

Talking to his own mother had its benefits, there was no need to beat around the bush!

That Mei Niang smiled as she came forward to greet Aunt Wang, then bowed to me. I told Aunt Wang that the weather was cold and that she needed to pay attention to her body. She urged me to go back quickly and insisted on sending me off personally. On the way, she couldn't help but tell me, "Although the old lady …" But in the end, it was still considered foreign … "If you're free, you should go take a look at her …"

I sighed as I thought of the Charity Hall deed that my mother had given me before she died.

I'm afraid, even my grandmother can't compare to him!

Mother, mother, how could you be so unlucky!

Perhaps, you are also a daughter of a great deal of money. It's just that I don't have the time or the manpower to investigate it for you right now. Otherwise, I'll definitely help you live with it!

In the end, I couldn't bear to make her sad so I smiled and replied, "I've borrowed you, Mei Mei. You have to take care of yourself. If you get sick, I'll die of guilt. "

Aunt Wang frowned and scolded me, "You got up so early in the morning. Why are you saying you're alive or dead!"

I happily agreed and led the rest to my courtyard.

As he walked along the lake, he happened to pass by Jiayi's courtyard. Thus, he decided to just go in and take another look at Zhou Bai Mu.

Naturally, I could not go in to see the patient. I could only sit in the other room and let Huang Gongzhong come in to answer.

When Lan Lingyun wanted to pull up the screen, I smiled and waved my hands, "How many times have I seen it already! "I don't care about that!"

Lan Ling smiled, and having arranged the arrangements for the people who came with me, she personally invited Huang Lang in.

I took out an oilskin package from my bosom and handed it to Lan Li, telling Huang Lang about my suspicions.

Huang Lang didn't answer, he stood four or five steps away from me and said in a clear voice, "Miss, there is indeed such a poison in this world, but there definitely isn't one in this cake."

I couldn't help feeling a little crestfallen.

She thought she had caught Guan Qiuwei, but she was still wrong!

"How is Zhou Baumu?"

Huang Gangzhong put his hands behind his back and answered with an unruly expression while raising his chin: "I woke up last night."

Simple and concise, cherishing words like gold!

It doesn't look like the Huang Lang I know!

I think it was my dumb attitude that hurt him.

Good!

He was disappointed now, but a moment of sadness was soon over; the more he immersed himself into the end, the more painful it became.

I couldn't help but laugh self-deprecatingly. I can be considered as someone who had gone through the motions!

"Then I'll be troubling you!" As I said that, I carried some tea with me as if I was seeing off guests.

Huang Gangzhong looked at me with his pair of jade-like eyes opened wide as if he didn't expect me to be so unreasonable. He waved his sleeves, clasped his hands together and left.

When Lan Lingyun saw this, she couldn't help but complain, "I also have good intentions, so why are you acting like this, Miss?"

I smiled wryly and shook my head.

You don't understand, I'm doing it for his own good.

For my own good, of course.

There was also a chime clock in the main room of the family courtyard. I saw that it was only twenty minutes away, and there was still some time before my appointment with my mother. He told Lan Lingyun to bring a few maids and pack some clothes from the family's cage before returning them to my courtyard.

I was going to take the rest of the women for a walk in the garden ahead.

It was winter, and it was snowing heavily. There wasn't even a blade of grass, let alone a flower. There really wasn't much to see.

The maidservants followed closely behind me, while I walked slowly ahead, trying to figure out what had happened.

As soon as the cake was delivered, someone stole it, Manager Liu got the cake, then the cake was placed, the cake was placed, and the cake was snatched. The cake was handed around several times, but there were no articles to make inside.

Ying'er, Wen Lian these two I do not know, but the wet nurse once said, she ate. The Hazelnut Sesame Rice Cake that he sent to Ma Zi's place was full. He didn't lack a single piece. It was likely that the wet nurse would be eating that cool and refreshing cake. As for Old Madam Ma, judging from the indentation on the remaining cool and refreshing cake, she should have eaten the cake as well, which resulted in her being poisoned.

Based on this conclusion, the two maidservants probably ate the cake after confiscating it, due to the hunger in their stomachs.

If it was me, I wouldn't have been able to eat even a single mouthful of rice. However, when I suddenly saw the little girl holding a plate of snow-white cake, I could have tasted it myself.

It was a pity that such a mistake in his thoughts had taken the lives of the four of them!

However, the mystery of the poison had been solved, but what did it have to do with the blood coffin?

The biggest connection between the blood coffin and the cake was probably the words of the Gan family, "as long as you touch it with your hand"!

If he wanted to solve this situation, he had to!

I sighed and walked around the little garden once more, but without much inspiration. Coincidentally, they met Lan Lingyun and the other two at the exit, each carrying a big bundle. Thus, they could only put the puzzle aside and bring them back to the courtyard.

There were a few scattered people in the retreating steps. There were already a few mothers standing there. When they saw me enter, they hurriedly went up to greet me. I greeted them with a smile and went straight into the inner room.

Jiayi was sitting on the table, calculating something, while the girl sat on her feet and read the entry to him. Seeing me come in, he hurried to bow to me.

I waved at him with a smile. "Sit down on the kang. "If you're tired, then play for a bit!"

It seemed that this child had some ambition in his heart. He wanted to learn how to take charge of the family as soon as possible.

I was relieved for a moment.

It doesn't matter whether he remembers me or fights me in the dark. As long as I see him doing well, I can be at ease.

When we were in the inner room, I changed my clothes and my belt, so I told Mei Niang about the matter of her being in charge of Gan's family.

Mei Ye rolled her eyes and bluntly said, "Miss, if you want this servant to stay close to her, I'm afraid that you will need to send a little girl to help me."

I nodded in agreement, and instructed Lan Li to find a clever and obedient girl for her. Lan Li then called the fragrant grass in my yard to come in, and told her to lead Mei Nang to look after the Gan family, and to work with Mei Nang.

I still took Lan Lan back to the retreat.

In less than a quarter of an hour, it will be over. Everyone is already here, waiting for me to come over.

Still the same routine at home, I sat on the couch, listening to Lan Ling deal with these miscellaneous matters, while my mind wandered.

How did this blood coffin come about?

What was even weirder was that it was gone for no reason at all.

The more he thought about it, the weirder it seemed, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was amiss.

Just when he was lost in thought, he suddenly heard a woman reply:

"This servant is the one in charge of the incense in the mourning hall. I am here to light 20 candles …"
