In the luxurious wing of the inner courtyard, the elegant and elegant Mrs. Zhao, dressed in light green gold silk feathers and with her hair covered with pearls and jade ornaments, holds a white cat in her arms with a graceful smile.

But the look in his eyes was indifferent.

Behind him stood several handsome maids wearing fine leather jackets.

Holding incense burners, heaters, etc. in hand.

Next to me, there was a similarly aristocratic woman sitting beside her, chattering nonstop: "Sister, let me tell you, you are still too kind."

"Who inside and outside this family would not say that you are knowledgeable, courteous, virtuous and virtuous, and manage your family well?"

"In the duke's house in Yujing City, which lady can compare with my sister?"

"Sister, let me tell you something that I don't want to see. If it were another prince, a bitch like Hong Yi, he would have been secretly tripped up and died silently. Otherwise, he would have been dismissed.

He leaves the house and is left to fend for himself."

"How can I be as tolerant as my sister? She provided him with food, shelter, and money every month, and never abused him. She also allowed him to study and read in peace, and passed the exams."

"How did you know that he was raising a white-eyed wolf? The Marquis even told him that he would not be allowed to practice martial arts, but he still went to practice secretly,"

"It's obvious that he has been harboring evil intentions for a long time, and he only wants to gain fame for that bitch and put it over his sister's head."

"Look, how come this man has such a vicious heart and a black heart?"

"This time it's even worse. I don't know where I climbed up on Princess Zhennan's high branch, and I actually used my momentum to injure my Gui'er and Rongpan."

"Not only that, knowing that I can't escape my sister's punishment, I even moved Princess Zhennan here. It's clear that I don't take my sister seriously and wants to use the princess to oppress my sister."

The woman looked earnest and sincere: "Sister, according to my sister, you can no longer indulge this little bitch like this. You must make the decision for your sister."

Mrs. Zhao just sat quietly, stroking the white cat's soft fur, saying nothing.

The third lady was very fast-talking and spoke a long string of words in rapid succession.

Seeing that her expression remained calm and unchanged, she felt a little embarrassed.

The smile on Mrs. Zhao's lips and the indifference in her eyes also made her feel a little scared.

He laughed twice and stopped talking.

At this time, Mrs. Zhao smiled leisurely and said: "My sister, it's hard for you to come to my place so late."

"I know everything. How did I hear that it was your Hong Gui who rode a horse in the downtown area and injured many people and property?"

"It was he who provoked Hong Yi first and got a good beating?"

"Hehe...hehe..."

The third lady laughed a few times and murmured: "Well, even so, isn't my Gui'er still young? He is still the master of the house. He is a bitch, so what if he has suffered some grievances? How dare you do the following?

"

"Okay, sister, I know everything. Your Hong Gui is acting arrogantly. Such behavior is ruining the reputation of our Marquis Mansion. It will make outsiders accuse the Marquis of not being strict in raising his children. He should be disciplined."

"As for Hong Yi, he practiced martial arts privately, which violated the Marquis's prohibition and broke the rules. I am in charge of the Marquis's internal affairs, so naturally I cannot ignore them. I must enforce family laws. So what if he just met a princess?"

"Yes!"

The third lady said happily: "If Princess Zhennan can protect him for a while, can she protect him for the rest of his life? Wait until the princess comes to visit the mansion tomorrow, and after she leaves, teach that bitch a lesson!"

"Okay, sister, it's getting late. Let's stop talking here today. Come on, let's send the third lady back to bed."

After Mrs. Zhao finished speaking, she saw off the guests without giving her a chance to speak.

The third lady didn't dare to stay any longer, so she said goodbye and left.

Hong Yi's thoughts and gods were hanging under the eaves.

When he saw the third lady coming out, her eyes showed a bit of coldness.

Just now he heard that he was arranging his own arrangements, but he kept saying dirty words and slandering his mother, which he couldn't bear.

It is said that having a sharp knife in one's mind will bring forth the murderous intention.

That's how he is now.

At this time, I heard Mrs. Zhao's voice in the hall mentioning his name.

"Then what is Hong Yi doing now?"

A maid replied respectfully: "Madam, he is sitting in the room reading a book, but I haven't seen him practicing martial arts."

"We also searched his room carefully, but we didn't find any martial arts secrets."

"Um,"

Mrs. Zhao didn't show her joy or anger: "This Hong Yi is really capable. I didn't expect that he would develop such a skill right under my nose, and I didn't even know about it."

The expressions of the maids beside them changed drastically, and they were full of fear. They all knelt down: "Madam, spare your life!"

Mrs. Zhao chuckled softly: "Okay, if people see you like this, don't you think that my mistress is so cruel?"

"It doesn't matter if you were negligent in the past. From now on, you have to do things carefully."

"Our young master Hong Yi can even treat Princess Zhennan in a different light now, and he can't be as negligent as before."

"From now on, no matter your daily life, diet, or every move, you have to show me carefully. What books you read and what martial arts you practice must be clear. Only when you know clearly can you take good care of me. Do you understand?"

Several maids seemed to have been granted amnesty: "Thank you, madam! We know, madam, please rest assured, even if Master Hong Yi loses a hair, we will definitely know about it and report it to madam."

Want to spy on me?

And from what I heard, I started monitoring him not from today, but from a long time ago.

When Hong Yi heard this, he felt angry and secretly broke into a cold sweat.

They not only monitored him, but also searched his belongings.

Fortunately, the martial arts and Confucian skills he practiced have never left any writing.

In the past, the Amitabha Sutra was always kept close to my body.

Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous.

I heard Mrs. Zhao say again from inside: "The identity of our young master Hong Yi is also different from before. Now that he has achieved fame, how can he have less people to serve him? I will send you over tomorrow and help me take good care of him."

.”

"Yes, ma'am."

No matter how reluctant the maids were, they did not dare to say no.

"Well, go and ask Grandma Zeng to come over."

Mrs. Zhao snorted softly and asked for an old lady to be called.

She has silver hair all over her head, but there is not a single wrinkle on her face and hands, which are as smooth as a girl's.

Hong Yi actually recognized this person.

It was Mrs. Zhao who came here as a dowry, and she was a confidant of the old man whom she had served for many years. Although she was a servant, her status was not ordinary.

After Grandma Zeng arrived, Mrs. Zhao dismissed everyone.

This kind of gesture made Hong Yi's heart move slightly, and his thoughts drifted further in, wanting to hear what they were saying clearly.

"I heard that your sweetheart is here again?"

Mrs. Zhao made the old man kneel down with just one word.

"Well, I didn't say anything to you. You have been with me for many years. It's hard for you to have no children. You just want to find someone to keep you company. What can I do to you for this?"

Grandma Zeng kowtowed repeatedly: "Thank you, madam!"

A trace of curiosity arose in Hong Yi's heart. Hearing that this old woman actually found a concubine?

"but,"

Mrs. Zhao changed the topic at this time: "I'm not cruel, I heard that the two evils in the south, Wu Sheng and Vacuum, have been causing a bit of trouble recently."

"The Marquis also mentioned to me that the Supreme Taoist seems to be visiting there too,"

"In order to avoid unnecessary complications, this person cannot be kept here. Please go there in person and give him a ride."

Grandma Zeng's face turned pale, but she didn't dare to contradict her and kept saying yes.

"besides,"

Mrs. Zhao spoke again: "Tomorrow, I will send a few maids to that bitch, and you will go with them."

"Yes, ma'am."

Grandma Zeng responded and immediately killed the man, why not let the slave take action in person and keep him safe until he dies without anyone noticing?"

Mrs. Zhao's eyes flashed with a cold light: "Although I have this thought, this bastard somehow got lucky and climbed onto the high branch of Princess Zhennan."

"If an accident happens at this time, the Princess Zhennan will probably be traced. Although my family is not afraid of Princess Zhennan, it is not worth making enemies for the Marquis because of such a bastard."

Nanny Zeng said in disappointment, "Yes, Madam, I clearly see that this slave has overstepped her bounds."

"It doesn't matter, what you said is exactly what I want. Although I can't kill him right away, if I let him pass so easily, I won't be able to calm down."

Mrs. Zhao said bitterly: "Go to him and do something to make him haunted by his evil spirit. He will have nightmares day and night, and his soul will be seriously injured."
