Chapter 274: act recklessly

Concubine Shen has suppressed her anger.
When she returned to the room, she broke out.
"Pei's deceived people too much. She really regarded herself as Lu Hou's sister, and she flaunted me all day long and kept calling me. Humph, I am afraid that in Lu Hou's heart, both of their mother and daughter are unnatural Worry character."
"Mother-in-law calms down." Ouyang Fu took the teacup from the maid and served tea with both hands.
"Mother-in-law first sip tea to calm her breath."
Concubine Shen's face was pale, "How can I calm down. Pei asked Concubine Luo to get out. She was beating Concubine Luo in the face, and even more so, beating me in the face.
Luo Shi and I, the dignified concubine, have the jade butterfly gold book. It is not the cat and dog on the street who can humiliate at will, but she refuses to give us the slightest face. It's really deceiving people too much. "
Ouyang Fu put the teacup on the table, and said softly: "The princess was offended by the family leader today, and she was still in front of everyone. It is inevitable that she will become angry and she will not speak. Mother-in-law should not be angry."
Concubine Shen Hehe sneered, "Pei's been taken away, that's what she deserves. She doesn't know people, she is blind, and she can't blame others.
The whole government, who doesn't know that Chunhe Hall is full of private pockets and indulges greedy ink. Only Pei is not clear.
Let me say that half of the reason is Chunhetang. "
Ouyang Fu agreed: "The mother-in-law is right. The palace has no money now, and most of the reason lies in Chunhetang. It's just that the princess doesn't think so. In her eyes, it's all our fault."
Concubine Shen vented, and her anger subsided a little, "Gu Jiu is the source of today's incident. If she hadn't been troublesome to check the kitchen account book and disturbed the kitchen, there would be no follow-up things."
Ouyang Fu smiled, and said, "Sister-in-law wants to be in charge of the kitchen, and Madame Zhu is not able to get around. It is also a good thing that she will manage Madame Zhu."
"What a good thing." Consort Shen was very dissatisfied.
Cutting costs, cutting manpower, and the kitchen income is gone. Since the beginning of the year, there has been no good thing.
Concubine Shen's heart is upset. Naturally, I blamed Gu Jiu, and blamed Gu Jiu for breaking the kitchen.
But Ouyang Fu said: "All of this is temporary. After the palace has passed this difficult time, everything will return to the way it was in the past. What it used to be, what it will be in the future."
Concubine Shen Bian nodded, "You are right."
The whole government is accustomed to living a rich life, how many people can endure hardship?
Just look, three or five months later, everything will be business as usual.
The servant reported, "Princess Huyang asks for a meeting, just outside the door."
Concubine Shen Side heard that Princess Huyang was coming, and said hurriedly: "Hurry up and invite Princess Empress in."
Ouyang Fu is very witty, "Mother-in-law is busy, daughter-in-law retire first."
Concubine Shen Bian exhorted: "Send someone to stare at Chunhetang."
"Daughter-in-law knows."
Ouyang Fu left, and Princess Huyang was invited in.
Concubine Shen Side greeted him with a smile, "Why the princess has time to come over?"
"Sister-in-law Shen, I know you have been wronged. No, I came to visit you specially."
"The princess is interested."
The two people sit down separately.
Princess Huyang said: "Sister-in-law is too overbearing. I think she is crazy and poor. She doesn't want to be decent in the eyes of money."
Concubine Shen side heard these words very smoothly.
However, she said: "The princess and the empress also have her problems. I understand that it is difficult for clever women to cook without rice. Just like she sent someone to copy the houses of the women in the kitchen, I have no objection."
Princess Huyang's eyes lit up, "Sister-in-law sent someone to ransack the house? Is this serious?"
Concubine Shen Side looked surprised, "Don't the princess know? The princess asked Wen Gonggong to lead people to copy the house, and this has spread all over.
The host of Huyang County has a class of Qiqiao Linglongxin, and when she heard that Pei had sent someone to ransack her home, her heart was very hot.
The kitchen woman has so much oil and water, this time he ransacked his home, not to mention that he can scribble a thousand faces. As the saying goes, seers have a share, then she should share a little bit too.
She said to Concubine Shen: "Sister-in-law Shen is empathetic. I will remember all your grievances. I will go to the princess to explain clearly. I have to persuade her not to be so unpleasant. Dislike, be kinder anyway."
"I appreciate the princess's kindness. The princess will be annoying, so the princess should not bother."
"It's okay, I just go take a look."
The Huyang princess was afraid that Pei would be greedy for all the money gained from the ransacking of the house, and was impatient to rush over.
Concubine Shen Bian made a gesture to stay, but seeing that she couldn't keep her, she finally sent the person out of the gate herself.
She watched Princess Huyang go away and sneered.
Princess Huyang really got into Qian's eyes. Hearing that Pei had ransacked his home, he hurried over.
Pei humiliated her several times, and due to her status, she could not turn her face with Pei.
But this doesn't mean she can't fight back.
Princess Huyang, this shit-chucking stick, should come in handy at this time.
If Pei made her feel uncomfortable, she encouraged Princess Huyang to let Pei also taste her taste.
She just waited to see Pei's joke.
Princess Huyang hurried to Chunhetang.
When Pei heard that Princess Huyang was coming, he immediately became cold. "Tell her that Princess Ben is tired and there is no time to see her."
Orders can be ordered.
However, a mere subordinate is the opponent of Princess Huyang.
Princess Huyang pushed the person away and rushed in directly.
The subordinates were all frightened, so they quickly pleaded, "Manny, the slave and maid can't stop the princess."
Pei waved his hand, and he hurriedly backed out like a pardon.
"Huyang, do you have any rules? The princess said that he didn't see you, don't you understand?"
Princess Huyang sat down and said, "Sister-in-law, don’t rush to teach me first. I heard that the sister-in-law sent Wenzhong to copy the house, and the income from the copying should be less than tens of thousands. As for me, I just finished the ritual of the maid and have the money on hand. It's all used up. Please also ask my sister-in-law to lend me some, and I will pay you back when I have money in the future."
Pei smiled angrily, "Huyang, are you your small treasury when the palace is yours? If you have no money, you can ask for it. If you don't give it, you can't. Who will give you the face? Today I will make it clear, ask for money. If it's a mess, go back to your princess mansion. This princess doesn't bother to serve you."
Princess Huyang raised his eyebrows and smiled, "It seems that my sister-in-law has not figured out the situation. I live in the palace, as long as Brother Wang agrees. As for the opinion of the sister-in-law, it is not important at all. Brother Wang is willing to support me and give me money. If the sister-in-law is dissatisfied, then I can't help it."
Pei sneered, "Since the prince is willing to support you, then you should ask the prince for money. What do you ask the princess for money for? The princess does not owe you."
"Brother Wang didn't send anyone to ransack his home. His sister-in-law got a windfall and should give me some."
"Nonsense, shameless. When should the royal palace's money be given to you? Huyang, you don't have to make an inch."
Princess Huyang frowned, "Sister-in-law is always so stingy, and it's not that she has no money."
Pei said twice, "No matter how rich the palace is, it's not yours. Don't worry about it."
After finishing speaking, she delivered tea directly to the guests.
Princess Huyang stomped his feet with anger, "Where's Wenzhong? I have to ask him how much money he got from copying his home this time."
Snapped!
Pei placed the teacup heavily on the table and made a loud noise.
"Huyang, don't worry about it. Don't think that the prince will support you. This princess can't help you. If you rush me, I will enter the palace tomorrow and let your majesty take care of you, an unfilial girl."
Huyang was taken aback first, then burst into tears the next second.
"Sister-in-law is deliberately trying to force me to death! Why don't you just give me a cup of poison and let me die happy."
Pei sternly reprimanded, "Get out and die, and die for the princess."
Pei knows that Princess Huyang is just called.
If she really had the courage to die, she would have died with Chen Fuma as early as when Chen Fuma was beheaded.
Today, she has recovered, and she is even more reluctant to die.
Princess Huyang wiped her tears, "Even if my sister-in-law doesn't wait to see me, she should think for Chen Min and Chen Lu's two children. Isn't her sister-in-law not willing to lend a little money to the two children for allowance?
Is this service soft?
Pei looked at Princess Huyang with a faint smile, "I'll let someone take one hundred tael now. You go back and share it with the two children. It's the pocket money that my aunt gave them."
Princess Huyang gritted his teeth, particularly disgusted, "I only gave one hundred taels, is my sister-in-law sending a beggar?"
Pei snorted, "This princess doesn't know where the beggar is so precious, even one hundred taels is too small."
Princess Huyang's face changed with anger, "My sister-in-law insulted me so much, I will enter the palace to meet my concubine tomorrow."
Pei was not at all shocked, "You can go. Just let your Majesty see you."
As soon as he heard the word "Your Majesty", Huyang County Lord was shocked.
The person she fears most now is her Majesty, not one of them.
The shadow of Chen Fuma being chopped up in the waist still lingered.
Princess Huyang gritted his teeth and asked, "How much money can my sister-in-law lend me?"
Pei was very simple, "Five hundred taels. There is no more money."
The lord of Huyang wanted to say that five hundred taels were too little, so he would send a beggar.
Then I thought, five hundred taels are also money, so get the money first.
Later, she went to see Brother Wang and asked for a little more from Brother Wang.
She was reluctant to agree, "Five hundred taels is five hundred taels. Please give me the money now."
Pei was almost stunned by the show operation of Huyang Princess.
She really doesn't dislike it, she can even accept five hundred taels.
She would have said two hundred taels if she knew it.
Pei coughed slightly, and ordered people to take five hundred taels of silver notes and hand them to the lord of Huyang.
She was worried, and deliberately rushed towards Princess Huyang and said, "The palace has no money, and the princess has no money. You should not ask for money from the princess in the future."
Princess Huyang smiled, "Sister-in-law is too outrageous. You are my sister-in-law, I have no money, can I ask you for it? Sister-in-law, you are busy, I will leave first."
Pei's anger was half dead.
What a shameless princess Huyang, does she want to kill her?
The next person persuaded her, "Niang Niang calm down. Wengong Gong is back."
Pei turned his anger into joy, "Let Wen Zhong come in quickly."
...
Royal Palace East Court.
Qingmei and the others are all beaming.
It was the wife's clever means, and she could easily turn her over.
"If Mrs. Zhu knew that she would be ransacked, I wonder if she would regret her offense. She listened to her, and she would abolish her if she didn't make a noise, and she would abolish her. Anyway, she had greeted so much money, so there would be no such disaster. ."
"If you say regret, it should be Mother Qin who regretted it last. Mother Qin wanted to help Granny Zhu turn over, but she even folded in."
Mother Fang is not as optimistic as Qingmei and the others.
She chatted with Gu Jiu, "The four maids around the princess, plus Mother Qin, lost five people at a time, and lost the face of the boss. When this matter is over, the princess will definitely remember her. Maybe she Will take back the authority from the wife and let others take care of the kitchen."
Gu Jiu nodded, "Mother is right, the princess is not a generous person. This time because of my audit, she lost five people and lost face, so she will naturally hate me. But this is not the case. There is no room for transfer."
Sister Fang was curious, "What are you going to do, Madam?"
Gu Jiu smiled, "The princess will definitely not let the second wife take care of the kitchen. Concubine Shen and Concubine Luo are also excluded. In the end, only the fourth wife, Xiao Qin'er, is left. Xiao Qin'er is known to be greedy for ink. Therefore, the turning point in this matter is all on the Fourth Lady."
Madam Fang asked, "What will the madam do?"
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "I will greet the Fourth Lady tomorrow."
She didn't say too much, and some things didn't make much sense after they were thoroughly explained.
Xiaohuangmen Baizhong came in from outside, "Mrs. Qizhen, Wengonggong has already copied the home of Mrs. Zhu and the others."
"Oh! I finished the copy so soon. How much money did I copy?"
Bai Zhong's face was hesitant.
"Let's talk about it, how much is it? It can't be one hundred and eighty thousand."
Bai Zhong swallowed and said in a low voice: "Gong Gong led a person to copy out four thousand taels of silver patterns and seven thousand taels of silver bills from the homes of Mrs. Zhu.
There are also several jewels and jade, which can be converted into several thousand taels. There are also three house deeds and two land deeds.
Mrs. Zhu and the others even set up a shop outside, and most of the items that were picked up from the palace were sold in the shop, and the business was very good.
Those ordinary people, when they heard that the objects came from the palace, were very happy to buy them back. "
Gu Jiu snorted, "It really is a group of moths. This lady still underestimated them, and even dared to sell the property of the palace openly. Isn't she afraid of beheading?"
Bai Zhong said again: "One more thing."
"Say!"
"The little one heard that Chunhetang lost a piece of jade brave worth a lot of money in the past two years, and has never been able to follow it. I copied the house today and copied it from Mrs. Zhu's room."
Gu Jiu was startled, "Are you saying that someone in Chunhe Hall was guarded and stolen and sold property to Mrs Zhu?"
Bai Zhong lowered his head and said, "The little one doesn't know what's going on. In short, the princess and empress were very angry when she saw the lost jade brave. Even the prince was shocked."
Madam Fang frowned, "Even the prince was shocked, will the palace be cleaned up in the palace?"
Gu Jiu shook his head, "In a troubled autumn, one more thing is worse than one less thing. At this time, the prince shouldn't do a big cleaning. But let the family member check the furnishings of each house and courtyard."
Gu Jiu secretly scolded Chunhetang's servants, all of them brave enough to guard and steal them, and they sold them to Mrs. Zhu.
Pei's is not old and confused, so he can coax at will.
Those servants, who didn't know where the courage came from, committed crimes under Pei's nose.
Sure enough, it is a group of masters who are not afraid of death.
...
Pei's furious, Ning Wang furious.
Mrs. Zhu and several kitchen women, all died. Family selling.
The four maids of Chunhetang, plus Mother Qin, a total of five people, Ning Wang let Pei take care of themselves.
Regarding the loss of Jade Pixiu, it has been found out.
It was Mother Qin who stole it and sold it to Mrs. Zhu for money.
Mother Qin was also dragged down by her son.
Mother Qin's son became addicted to gambling, owed a debt, and was hunted down.
The debt collectors all chased to the palace and forced Mother Qin to help pay off the debt.
Mother Qin's family was emptied, and she was not satisfied with her gambling debt.
In desperation, he could only guard himself and steal the jade brave.
Jade Pixiu is too precious, and when it is taken out, it will definitely attract the attention of interested people. By then, her theft of jade brave will definitely be exposed.
So Mother Qin found Mrs. Zhu and exchanged a sum of silver for her son with jade brave to pay off the gambling debt for her son.
At first, Mrs. Zhu promised Mother Qin that she would never let Jade Pixiu off her hands.
Unexpectedly, a difference in thought would condemn the two people.
The facts are clear, and Mother Qin cannot deny her.
She knelt in front of Pei, "The maidservant was wrong, so wrong. The maidservant also had no face to ask the maidservant for forgiveness. The maidservant was willing to apologize with death, and only asked the maidservant to see that the maidservant was able to spare the maid for her diligence in the past. Family, give them a way out."
Pei kicked Madam Qin with a kick, "Able maid. This princess trusts you like that, you not only carry your princess to fill your pockets, but you also dare to guard and steal.
This princess will be blinded, so she will treat you as a loyal servant. As a result, your slap slapped the princess on the face.
Now, the princess has become the laughing stock among the concubines. It's not a pity for you to die, your family will all be buried with you! "
