Rebirth Of the Vicious Empress - C90

“Old Mistress, Concubine Xian has entrusted his wife to say hello to you. It’s just that she’s in too much of an inconvenience in the palace. I hope that Old Mistress does not take offense to her.”

Nanny Zhao had already handed over all the gifts, and ordered Nanny Lin to take them away, “Sorry for troubling you, Empress. It’s just that you travelled a long distance and just returned from that mansion, it’s better that you go back and rest first.”

First Madame replied respectfully: “Thank you Old Mistress for your concern, but my body is fine. It’s just that I saw my aunt was severely ill and did not have any children to pour soup for me. I’m really worried for her.”

She knew very well what kind of trash Xian Consort’s mother was. Back then, she wanted to fight her way into the circle of noblewomen in the capital, but she was just a country bumpkin, with just her daughter, she wanted to join the upper echelons of the capital. It was too wishful thinking.

It was not only the Madame Liu, but her own relatives.

“Now that I’m old, I can’t bear the torment anymore. It’s better for me to stay home and take care of my illness.”

First Madame heard this for a long time, and her heart suddenly went cold. Could it be that Old Mistress found out about something? If that wasn’t the case, why would she suddenly say such a thing? Or was the Old Mistress beating him, and she really did not want to let go of the authority in her hands? Her mind was filled with all sorts of thoughts, she was in a mess, but in the end she asked: “Why didn’t Fuer accompany Old Mistress to chat?”

She first went to the Song Palace to see the Concubine Xian’s mother, Old Lady Liu. When First Madame returned, it was already early in the morning, but she was still a little unsettled that Chu Jinfu wasn’t there to accompany the Old Mistress.

“Fuer wasn’t feeling well today, so she didn’t come over.”

First Madame heard this and nodded, but did not say anything else. Old Mistress’s heart was unavoidably heavy. She instructed Nanny Lin, “When you go back, bring the boiled chicken soup to the Rain Tower, you must watch until that girl finishes it.”

First Madame was concerned about Second Wife’s matters, and did not take these words to heart. After a while, when she saw that Nanny Lin was not around, only she and Old Mistress were in the room, and she suddenly came to a realization and asked: “Old Mistress, sister-in-law is coming back soon. My wife wants to take the Dawn Garden from the east …”

“I’ve already given the orders for this matter. I’m a bit tired, so go back and rest today. Come back tomorrow. I have something to tell you.”

Seeing Old Mistress’s tired face, First Madame did not dare to delay any longer. In her heart, she vaguely understood that tomorrow’s visit would be related to the matter of the sect master. She could not help but rejoice, but her expression also relaxed a lot.

Not long after, the Nanny Lin quietly returned. Looking at the Old Mistress who was dozing off with her eyes closed, she softly said, “Old Mistress, why don’t we go inside and rest?”

Old Mistress shook for a moment before opening her eyes, “Did Fuer drink the chicken soup?” When she thought about Madame Song’s performance just now, Old Mistress was already angry in her heart.

Both of them were meat that had fallen from the sky. Chu Jinxiu was injured and sick, and Madame Song wanted to stick her body up to her, but Fuer that girl, had never ignored him, as if she was her own child.

The Nanny Lin replied softly, with a faint smile, “Didn’t you drink it? She originally wanted to say that she couldn’t drink it, but then Young Master Qiao Yun came to take a pulse and said that it was only because of the chicken soup that blood could be replenished, so she obediently drank it. ”

“Replenishing Qi …” Suddenly, he grabbed onto Nanny Lin’s hand and asked: “Tell me, did Yun Jianying notice something?”

Nanny Lin felt pain in his wrist, but she did not dare hide it when she saw Old Mistress’s serious expression, and said softly: “I’m afraid Young Master Yun saw it.” Feeling another pain on his wrist, Nanny Lin hurriedly added, “Just looking at Young Master Yun’s expression, I guess he won’t tell anyone else.”

Old Mistress slowly released her hand after hearing what she said. She muttered as if she believed her, “It’s best if you don’t, otherwise I definitely won’t let him off that easily.”

Nanny Lin’s heart shivered when she heard this. Indeed, the fifth young miss in her heart was the most important. After all, she was her granddaughter who had cared for him for so many years.

“Just that, when Madam returned today, I’m afraid she found out that Second Wife is coming back.”

Old Mistress laughed when she heard this, “She has reported so many things to me, there’s nothing strange about knowing that. Furthermore, I’m here too, so what do I need to be afraid of her for? Why haven’t I seen Concubine Liu here in the past few days, are you sick too? ”

Nanny Lin heard and said: “Concubine Liu invited a doctor yesterday, but he said that his heart aches from old trouble again. The doctor left a medicine and I heard that he is still resting on the bed.”

Old Mistress frowned slightly when she heard that, “Heart hurts? I remember the same thing she said when she got pregnant last time. It’s a pity that the child didn’t … ”

Old Mistress suddenly stopped talking, her expression becoming more and more serious. She only looked at Nanny Lin and said: “Go and ask him what the doctor’s condition is.”

Nanny Lin immediately understood and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Old Mistress, “By the way, why don’t you ask me about the situation in the study room.”

The Nanny Lin laughed when she heard this, “Old Mistress has forgotten. A few days ago, Prime Minister sent that servant girl to Qiu Yi Garden, saying that when Madame comes back, he will make her his concubine.”

Old Mistress squinted her eyes, a cold smile on her face, “I was confused, I’ll just mention it tomorrow.”

The news of First Madame’s return quickly spread through the Prime Minister’s Mansion, and the Concubine Chen hurriedly stood up and knocked on the door of the Concubine Liu next door.

“Sister Chen, why have you come to find me?”

She was clearly about the same age, yet she had already become a dead fish with a face devoid of any color. The person in front of her was wearing a thin shirt and had a peach blossom on her neck, making her seem like a 20 year old woman. However, she was clearly older than her by three years.

Concubine Liu invited the person in. Just as she was about to personally pour some tea, she heard Concubine Chen ask as if she had left her soul: “Madam has returned home, is big sister going to pay respects to Madam with me?”

Concubine Liu’s teapot paused for a moment and then said: “I am not feeling well today, but the doctor said that it is not appropriate to take the cold, so I will not go. I will apologize to Madam tomorrow.”

She passed a cup of hot tea to him, but Concubine Chen only lightly touched the rim of his cup before putting it down, “Since that’s the case, then I’ll be leaving first. I’ll definitely give my big sister a good word or two.”

“Thank you, sister.” Watching as Concubine Chen left, the smile in her eyes slowly condensed, “Beautiful words, that will depend on whether or not you can meet Song Xiangyun first.”

The servant girl Mei Xiang who was serving at the side could not help but say worriedly: “Aunt, although First Madame may not necessarily meet with Concubine Chen, but to go to Listening Cloud Courtyard is just a kind heart. Although Aunt is currently happy and unmoved, but …”

Concubine Liu heard and shook her head, “Currently, Prime Minister is at the Listening Cloud Courtyard. If I go to Song Xiangyun, what would happen? It’s not that we have a matriarch in our hearts of respect, but that we want to compete with her for her favor. Song Xiangyun is narrow-minded, but compared to his wife, she is still far inferior. ”

Hearing that, Mei Xiang became anxious, but all the doors and windows in her surroundings were shut, and only then did she speak softly: “Aunt, this servant knows that you have a deep relationship with Lady Yun, but I absolutely cannot bring it up again. If by any chance Prime Minister finds out, then even if Aunt has nine lives, it won’t be enough.”

Concubine Liu laughed disconsolately when she heard this, “Don’t worry, he won’t kill me.” The person he loves the most is still dead, so why would he kill me?

All these years, I was treated this way only because I was Madame’s maid and was personally raised by Madame as an aunt.

Leave me, just for this one thought, to prove that the Missus had loved him.

Chu Siyuan, you are truly pitiful … Despicable.

Concubine Liu silently laughed loudly, but two streams of tears flowed down from the corners of her eyes.

Sure enough, when Concubine Chen went to Listening Cloud Courtyard, the courtyard door was already tightly locked, and from inside came a faint voice. Concubine Chen took a step back all of a sudden, scaring Xin Lan who was behind him. “Aunt, what’s wrong?”

Concubine Chen acted as if she had heard a ghost, stumbling as she left hurriedly. When she returned to the stone garden, she saw that the lights in the houses in Concubine Liu had already extinguished.

“Xinlan, I didn’t go anywhere tonight. Remember, I didn’t go anywhere, right?”

She took care of Concubine Chen and went to sleep, only that the night was extremely restless. When she woke up the next day to go to the Listening Cloud Courtyard with Concubine Liu to pay her respects, Concubine Liu couldn’t help but take a few more glances.

“What, did my sister have a nightmare?” Why is your face so ugly? ”

Concubine Chen was most afraid to talk about what happened last night. She replied embarrassedly: “I was planning to pay my respects to Madam yesterday, but when I went out, there was a breeze. In the end, I caught a cold and didn’t sleep well.”

Before he even stepped into the Listening Cloud Courtyard, he already saw a rough old lady cleaning the corner of the wall. She smiled and said: “Yesterday, Prime Minister asked for three times for water, this is really rare, could it be that this old couple still wants to say goodbye and get married?”

“Oh, Mrs. Chen, you sound as if you were on duty in her room.” “Although I’m not on duty in my room, this little kitchen was taken care of by me last night. How could it be hidden from me?”

A few of the people by the side shuddered, but Old Lady Chen continued to speak: “I didn’t have much yesterday, I heard that a few days ago when Bai Ling was serving that maid, Prime Minister had water five times.”

Hearing that, all the wives laughed, “According to what you said, our Prime Minister is really …”

“What are you talking about? Are there any rules?” If you don’t want to work in the mansion, then scram! Esteemed wangfei, this way please. ”

It was unknown when the Nanny Zhao appeared, but Old Lady Chen was so frightened that her entire body was trembling.

“Concubine Liu has worked hard recently, and coincidentally, Old Mistress has something to tell me when she requests me to go to Pear Fragrance Garden today. Why don’t you accompany me for a walk?”

“This humble concubine wishes for nothing more, Madam, please.”

Concubine Chen was just left to the side. After she bent down to send him off, she suddenly shouted for help, “Nanny Chen, I …” However, the person who appeared in front of her eyes was the Nanny Zhao.

“What else does Concubine Chen have?”

Nanny Chen is dead! When she suddenly thought about this, Concubine Chen immediately became terrified, and left the Pear Fragrance Garden as if he was escaping. Nanny Zhao only smiled when she saw her fleeing before turning around and entering.

At the same time, First Madame and Concubine Liu stepped into the courtyard door of Pear Fragrance Garden one after the other. However, they heard an aged voice coming from inside, which was extremely distinct, “Congratulations Old Mistress, this little … This young lady has had the good news. It’s been over a month since then. ”

Hearing that, Concubine Liu paused, only to see a cold look on her face, and she rushed in!
