Chapter 164 The Cat Playing Before Catching the Mouse
"Dangdangdangdangdang..."
The next morning, all the wives in each room and the courtyard were awakened by a deafening sound of gongs and drums. When they opened the door, they saw a smiling maid standing outside the door, saying that Yan Ziyu had invited them and they all went to Shaoyaoju to talk.
Peony
"Madam, the servants have followed the wife's instructions, and all the ladies are on the way to Shaoyaoju." The person who spoke was the eldest maid in the Fourth Prince's house. On weekdays, the maids in the mansion listened to her orders. This time, the fourth prince handed her over to Yan Ziyu, which was enough to show his sincerity.
Upon hearing this, Yan Ziyu nodded faintly and said, "Well, it's great, let them all wait outside and continue to give the order. Whoever dares to take a step forward in Shaoyaoju will be beaten to death." Her tone of speech was very light, but what she said was really creepy.
"Yes, I'll go now." Before coming, my grandfather gave a special order and listened to this lady's everything.
"Cough cough...cough cough cough..." A cough sounded, and the evil aura between Yan Ziyu's eyebrows faded away, replaced by a gentle face.
"Rui'er, you're awake. Are you thirsty and want to drink water?" Seeing Rui'er nodding, she took a bowl of cooked goat milk from the head of the bed and put it to his mouth and said softly, "The doctor said you inhaled too much smoke and your respiratory tract is a little uneven, so you always cough. Drinking more goat milk will get better faster."
"Thank you, mom!" He drank a bowl of goat milk in one breath, and Rui'er wiped his mouth with her sleeve, kissed her face, and a hoarse voice rang in her ear.
Yan Ziyu's eyes became wet in an instant, this child...
"Mom doesn't cry. When Rui'er gets better, find the bad guy and let him cry." He was almost burned to death by the fire for no reason. Rui'er also felt a lot of resentment in her heart, and she was even more angry when she saw her mother crying.
"If you have backbone, let's make Rui'er cry. Rui'er, are you getting better? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Although the doctor said that Rui'er just inhaled a lot of thick smoke and could not get into trouble for a few days of rest, she was still worried about whether there was any other discomfort in his body.
Rui'er shook her head, pointed to her throat and said, "It's just that her throat is dry and uncomfortable."
Yan Ziyu felt relieved when she heard this and whispered a few words in his ear. Rui'er immediately widened her eyes and looked at her with disbelief.
"Stop glaring, your eyes are falling out. Get up and put on your clothes. Mom will take you to see the show." She helped Ruier put on her clothes one by one, washed her face and rinsed her mouth. After she had packed up together, another half an hour passed.
In the yard of Shaoyaoju, there were twenty or thirty beautiful women dressed in gorgeous clothes and dressed in bright clothes. Each of them had at least two maids beside him. In this way, nearly a hundred people stood in the yard of Shaoyaoju.
"We were beating gongs and drums early in the morning, and we were not allowed to enter the house. We were all standing in this yard. What exactly did that woman want to do? Could it be because of yesterday's incident, right?"
"It's better to be crazy. Look at what else she has to do to Mr. Fox Mei. Didn't you see me treat her baby like? Isn't it just a pair of torn shoes? As for it? It's better to die!"
...
Not long after waiting, these ladies who are usually pampered and can't stand it. They shouted and their words were even more vicious and unpleasant than the other.
After a while, no one paid attention to them. A few of them couldn't stand it anymore. They flipped their sleeves and turned around and left.
"Please stop all wives!" At the door of Shaoyao, more than a dozen servants holding sticks stood outside the door, preventing the people inside from going out.
"Get out of here! You dare to block my wife's path, are you impatient to live?" They were woken up for no reason, and then they were fooled by others as monkeys. Now even these servants dare to challenge themselves, and they are even more angry.
"Mrs. Yan has an order. Without her permission, she will be beaten to death with sticks! Ladies, please don't make things difficult for the young, please come back!" If they were not so brave in normal times, but this was explained by the girl Mo Qin beside her, and they dared not ignore them.
Hearing this, the women all started to make a fuss like a blowout.
"What? Will that woman rebel? I dare to instruct people to disrespect us, but I don't believe that they really dare to hurt me..." She shouted, but still didn't have the courage to try it.
"That bitch is too bullying, let's go to her..." Another woman shouted to settle the score with Yan Ziyu, but was stopped by Mo Qin outside the door. "Madam, please be careful. My husband has given me the instructions that those who disrespect Mrs. Yan are disrespectful to him."
Mo Qin's words made those women dare not act rashly in an instant. They could ignore or despise Yan Ziyu, but no one dared to despise Mo Qin. She has been with her for many years, and the master trusts her very much. If she offends her, she will never get her favor again, and she will die directly. This kind of thing is not without precedent.
For ordinary people, standing for three or five hours is not a big deal, and it is easy, but for these pampered women, standing for half an hour is like taking their lives, with sore legs and uncomfortable all over.
"Miss Mo Qin, I wonder if you can ask me when will this Mrs. Yan meet us? If you have to continue waiting, can you bring us some stools out. It is really uncomfortable to stand like this." One of the more favored wives walked up to Mo Qin, pulled out a slightly far-fetched smile, and said with a bit of flattery.
Mo Qin glanced at her faintly and said, "Mrs. I'll come out to see you ladies when the time comes. As for the stool, I'm very sorry. There are few people coming to Shaoyaoju, and the stools are probably not enough for each of the ladies. In order not to let a stool hurt the ladies' feelings, Mo Qin suggested that the ladies wait like this." To put it bluntly, it's just one sentence: stools, no, just stand and wait for me!
In fact, there are not only stools, but also tables in the yard of Shaoyaoju! However, Yan Ziyu had someone to catch some lees on those stone stools, saying that they were going to dry and ground into powder and used as medicine. Whoever dared to move would catch ten lees by themselves to repay them. The women looked at the soft and disgusting lees, and were frightened to forget everything, so they dared not move them. Even if they stood up and their legs were broken, they would probably not move them.
The lady ate a soft nail and asked unwillingly, "Where is the master? Can you please help Miss Mo Qin to invite me to make the decision for our sisters? I'm so kind to ask Miss Mo Qin to accept it." The lady took off a jade bracelet with an upper texture from her hand and stuffed it into Mo Qin's hand.
Mo Qin took the jade bracelet without blinking, looked at her faintly and said, "I am not in the mansion today. I have given instructions. Today, everyone in the mansion, including me, will be ordered by Mrs. Yan to obey the order."
Unexpectedly, all this was agreed upon by the emperor, and the hearts of these women instantly became colder.
Time passed slowly, and the sun rose from the east. After yesterday's light rain, today's sun seemed to be a little brighter. After a while, the sun was sunny and began to sweat all over.
"Hehe... they look like monkeys!" Looking through the window at the various embarrassment of the women, Rui'er's hoarse voice also showed a hint of joy.
Yan Ziyu snorted coldly, hugged Rui'er and touched his round belly, "They deserve it. I just want them to taste the feeling of being burned by the scorching sun."
She dared to bet on her life that Rui'er's affairs must have been done by someone or someone among these women. She didn't want to pull the murderer out at once, as it would be boring, just like a cat and a mouse, and she would have sex before catching the mouse.
"Is the bad guy who set fire to Rui'er among those beautiful aunts?" Rui'er was not stupid. His mother turned against her usual low-key today and found all the ladies in such a high-profile manner. Seeing them suffering, he thought of the reason.
As worthy of being her son, Yan Ziyu touched his head and looked very relieved, "It's not bad! The little head is smart enough, I guessed it all at once, then guess what I will do next?"
Rui'er tilted her head and thought for a while, suddenly she showed a smirk, "Mom, I'm hungry, can we have breakfast?"
Of course, Yan Ziyu nodded in agreement. However, Rui'er continued, "The house is so boring. Let's go out to eat and invite that beautiful sister to eat together." Rui'er pointed to Mo Qin standing at the door and said.
"You little slippery."
Yan Ziyu smiled and pointed Rui'er's head, and immediately asked the pavilion outside to set a table, a table with a sumptuous breakfast, and a variety of fruits and pastries.
"Miss Mo Qin, you've been tired all morning. Come and have breakfast together!" Yan Ziyu stood in the pavilion and invited Mo Qin who was standing on the other side.
Mo Qin wanted to refuse, but when she thought of her grandfather's order, she nodded immediately, "Mo Qin thanked her wife."
Facing the table full of breakfast, the women's stomachs began to protest. Everyone was just concerned about the soreness of their feet and did not pay attention to the time. Now, when they saw that it was already past when they used breakfast, they still had water in their stomachs, so it would be strange if they were not hungry. The woman was so disgusting that she prepared a large table to eat and placed it in front of them. She was sure to see if she was not sure. They ate it very fragrant, which made these women so angry.
