Chapter 401 Returning to Beijing Alone
Chapter 401 Returning to Beijing Alone
Cining Palace.
When the Queen Mother saw Nanny Zhao come in and saw her expression, she knew something good was going to happen.
Ever since the incident with Shan Xi, everything seemed to be going wrong for her.
Some of the Emperor's men were also placed in the Cining Palace.
The communication that was once very smooth has now become difficult. Fortunately, Zhao Ling is a capable person. There is always news coming in every few days.
It was worth it that she saved her life.
"But is there any news coming from there?" asked Queen Mother Shan.
"Yes." Madam Zhao nodded and smiled. "There is good news."
"Tell me quickly."
Queen Mother Shan now urgently needs some good news to calm herself down.
"Yesterday, Tang Jiali had an argument with the man from the Song family at a cloth shop in Tongzhou. It was said that the quarrel was very serious. In the end, it was the major general who dealt with it. This morning, our people saw the man from the Song family return to the general's mansion."
"Really?!" Queen Mother Shan couldn't believe it.
"It's absolutely true. Although, after the young general took them back, our people couldn't find out what happened. But the people who stayed near the general's mansion saw her riding a horse and entering the back door of the general's mansion this morning. I think she rushed back overnight."
Who would normally set out in the middle of the night to travel a long distance? It must be because they really couldn't stay any longer, so they chose to set out in the middle of the night.
The distance between Tongzhou and the capital is neither far nor close. Only if you set out in the middle of the night will you appear at the back door of the general's mansion early in the morning.
"It seems that Tang Jiali is still somewhat useful."
I originally thought that with her looks, she would need more time and effort. Men, after all, are naturally lustful.
I didn't expect that she could do it so beautifully. It seems that in addition to good looks, men prefer gentle and considerate women. Song Qingci is beautiful, but her temperament is not very gentle and docile.
"These are the drawings that were sent along with the news." Madam Zhao handed the two drawings to Queen Mother Shan.
"Why are there only two? And they are not complete?"
Queen Mother Shan was happy to hear that the blueprints were in her hands. But after a closer look, she found that there were only two blueprints, and they were incomplete. Her excitement instantly dropped.
"They didn't say, but I think the drawings should be top secret. It's not easy to get these two." As a person who works in the office, Zhao Ma naturally understands how difficult it is to do these things personally.
I couldn't help but say a few good words for Tang Jiali.
After hearing what she said, Empress Dowager Shan thought about it carefully and realized that it was indeed the case.
If it was so easy to get, she would probably be a little more suspicious.
The drawings were wrinkled and one of them had stains on it.
If you look closely, it should be a wine stain.
If it were any other time, such a thing would never have been delivered to Queen Mother Shan. As the Queen Mother, the things she got were not of high value.
However, at this moment, Queen Mother Shan did not mind the two drawings being contaminated at all. She even showed a rare smile on her face.
"You should quickly copy these two drawings and send them to him."
"Yes. I will do it right away."
Nanny Zhao knew the Empress Dowager's plan, so she knew clearly who the drawings would be given to.
"Wait." Queen Mother Shan stopped Zhao Ma and said worriedly, "Tell them to be quiet when they are doing things, and don't let anyone notice."
"Yes, I understand." Madam Zhao felt that this instruction was unnecessary.
After so many years, I have never been careless.
However, as a slave, she did not say anything back. Sometimes, the more you care about people and things, the more you will be entangled with them.
After Nanny Zhao left, Empress Dowager Shan saw one of the people arranged by the Emperor hanging around the door.
I was extremely annoyed in my heart, but I didn't show any expression on the surface.
One day, she will get rid of all these annoying people!
One of the protagonists discussed by Queen Mother Shan and Nanny Zhao was now being baptized by someone's tears in Chixiao Courtyard.
Song Qingci just didn't understand. Dan Xi was fine, so why did she start crying as soon as she saw her?
Was he bullied in the mansion?
"Your body is not suitable for such emotional excitement right now." After thinking it over, Song Qingci decided to persuade her not to cry from a physical point of view.
Sure enough, when Shan Xi heard that it was bad for the body, her back stiffened for a moment. Then she really slowly stopped crying.
"Is Second Aunt acting like a demon again?" This was the most convincing reason Song Qingci could think of.
Shan Xi nodded and shook her head.
Song Qingci didn't understand, but she was more patient with Shan Xi and waited for her to speak slowly.
"My second aunt came to make trouble, but I fought her back."
"Oh?" Song Qingci became interested. "How did you confront her?"
"The reason why Second Aunt came to make trouble was simply to take the power of the head of the household from me. However, I was not afraid of her. Instead, I told her that every time she came to make trouble, the expenses and monthly allowance of the Second House would be reduced by half. If she came to make trouble again, it would be reduced by half again. After hearing this, she left directly. She never came again afterwards."
Song Qingci gave Shan Xi a thumbs up, "Great! You have really touched the lifeblood of Second Aunt. She wants the power to run the family so much, just to use this power to seek personal gain for their Second House. With what you have done, she really doesn't dare to come."
Shan Xi is a good student. In the past, she would never have dared to be so tough when facing Qi.
These days, I have experienced a lot and learned a lot.
She was also able to handle people like Qi with ease.
very nice.
"It's all my sister-in-law's fault." Shan Xi didn't dare to take credit for it.
She could feel the changes in herself, all of which happened after her sister-in-law came.
"By the way, sister-in-law, why did you come back by yourself?" She remembered that her sister-in-law had said before that she would be away for a long time.
"I just came back to see you. I have to leave soon." Song Qingci had no intention of telling Shan Xi about what happened in Tongzhou.
She is still a little girl.
Being able to manage the General's Mansion well is already very good. Telling her other things will only cause more trouble.
So, when she came back, she came in through the back door.
Except for the servants guarding the gate and the people from Chixiaoyuan, no one knew that she was back.
