Chapter 211: Lian Beizi starts to take action
The Eighth Lady returned home and finally woke up after a long time. By this time, the servants had already invited the imperial physician over. After a diagnosis and treatment, the imperial physician left a prescription for calming the mind and nourishing the heart before leaving.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Cao Gege quickly hid in her own courtyard after returning home. She had been in Lian Beizi's mansion for so long that she was familiar with this lady's character. If she woke up and saw herself, the person who witnessed her shameful moment, she would definitely vent her anger on herself. If she was ruthless, she might even disregard the master's orders and instructions and kill herself and both of them.
Don't say that Fu Jin couldn't do it. It was only after she entered Lian Beizi's mansion that she knew why the outside world rumored that Lian Beizi was the most infatuated, the most loyal, and an extremely good man. It turned out that it was because none of the women who entered his backyard made any splash. They were even locked up in a small dark room as soon as they entered the mansion, and never appeared again after entering the mansion.
In other words, she was the one who slipped through the net, because she had done something with Lian Beizi when she was outside the palace, and she got pregnant outside the palace, and she also registered in front of the emperor. Even if the Eighth Lady wanted to do something, she still had to consider the emperor, otherwise, she would have died the next day after she came in.
This was no joke. She remembered that not long after she entered the backyard, a group of new people came into the mansion. One of them entered the front yard because of her good temperament and appearance. Because she flirted with the Eighth Master, it was at that time that the Eighth Lady took advantage of the Eighth Master's absence and summoned all the servants in the mansion. Even she was held aside to watch.
The new maid was blinded on the spot, had ten of her scallion-like fingers chopped off, and was then sent to the mansion's night incense department, where her future task was to clean the toilet. It's unclear whether the maid was lucky or unlucky, as she died within a week. Her body was later thrown into a mass grave, and it's said that wild wolves had carried off her bones.
There was no sound coming from inside or outside the mansion, and the Eighth Master did not ask a single question when he returned. It was at that moment that she was afraid, not only of the cruel and ruthless Concubine Fu Jin, but more of the gentle and amiable Yinsi.
She didn't believe that a man in a mansion wouldn't know what Fujin had done. He never asked, simply because such things were commonplace, or perhaps it was because he believed it in his heart. He and Fujin were of the same kind, always indifferent to life. Those without value were like a speck of dust in their eyes, dispensable.
It was from that time that she changed. She became timid and cowardly, and began to fear. As long as there was a little movement, she would immediately shrink and hide. Just like this time when Fu Jin came to the house but was directly irritated and fainted, she believed that when Fu Jin woke up and the master came back, this matter would not be over.
Not only that, the master will definitely summon her soon, and what she needs to do next is to quickly organize what she needs to say and strive to stand on the same front with the concubine.
Soon after the imperial physician left, Yinsi was also invited back by the servants. Of course, Yinsi also learned some of the general situation on the way. Although he was a little angry about his wife's bad temper, he was even more angry about the fact that his wife was bullied by them.
He is no longer the poor prince who had no power and was excluded from the margins. Now he is the head of the Imperial Household Department, and the entire Imperial Household Department is under his control.
Not only that, he has also won over most of the officials in the court. It can be said that his current power is no weaker than the eldest prince's party back then. Even the crown prince back then can compete with him.
Even though two of the four wives were his sisters-in-law, Yinsi didn't take them seriously at all. Not to mention that Yinreng was just a prince with little real power, even the prince Yinzhen was forced to farm. Not to mention Yin'er and Yin?, one only knew how to make money, and the other only knew how to work with wood all day.
The return of Yinsi helped the Eighth Concubine Guo Luoluo Jiayan find her backbone. When she entered the main courtyard, what she got was a beautiful woman who was crying bitterly.
It's no wonder that Prince Lian hasn't gotten tired of the Eighth Concubine in all these years. He really doesn't know what she looks like. She's become more and more charming over the years. Coupled with her already pretty good foundation and the power of Prince An's Mansion behind her, she has fascinated Yinsi all these years.
Upon seeing this, Yinsi immediately reached out and held her in his arms, comforting and rubbing her. After the Eighth Lady calmed down, the two began to discuss the grievances they had suffered today.
When he heard Buerhe and the Tenth Concubine mocking her as a hen that doesn't lay eggs, and the Fourth Concubine also joined in and said that she was meddling in other people's business, and that the Ninth Concubine not only was not grateful for Concubine Fujin's advice but also directly drove Concubine Fujin out of the Beile Mansion, Yinsi's face instantly darkened.
After calming down for a while, Yinsi hugged the Eighth Lady and promised: "Don't worry, I will help you get rid of this anger in a moment. No matter who it is, they will not be able to escape."
The Eighth Lady knew her master's ability. When she heard Yinsi say this, she burst into laughter and went up to him and gave him several sweet kisses. As long as her master said this, she only had to watch the show from then on.
However, the Eighth Lady remembered something: "The Ninth Lady seems to be pregnant. Her arrogant attitude today really irritated me. I must vent my anger no matter what."
Upon hearing this, Yinsi's eyes flashed, and an idea came to his mind: "Don't worry, I know, you just have to watch the show from now on."
After comforting his wife and instructing the servants to keep a close eye on Cao, Yinsi hurried back to the Imperial Household Department. Since Xiaojiu was ungrateful, he shouldn't blame his brother for being cruel. He, Yinsi, was not the only one in the world who could make money. If he wanted money, the Imperial Household Department had plenty of it.
But for this little bit of money, he lost the life of a legitimate son. I wonder if Xiaojiu will regret it later.
In the main courtyard of the Lian Beizi Mansion, the trusted maidservant beside the Eighth Lady finished dressing her up and took out a small porcelain bottle and handed it to her: "Master, this is enough for three months. The maid said that this medicine is hard to come by and there are not many of them left."
The Eighth Lady opened the porcelain bottle, and then a smell of blood mixed with the smell of medicinal herbs spread from the mouth of the bottle. The smell was very pungent, and the trusted maid couldn't help but frowned, but it soon disappeared without a trace, as if the disgust that had just been revealed had never appeared.
The Eighth Lady poured out the pills from the bottle—no more, no less, three in total. She only needed to take one pill per month, according to the dosage. Without hesitation, she took one and put it directly into her mouth, then slowly waited for the medicine to take effect, as if enjoying it.
Soon, something miraculous happened. The crow's feet that had formed on the Eighth Lady's face due to anger over the past two days gradually smoothed out. Her entire face began to become plump and hydrated, her complexion became rosy, and her skin became as smooth as a baby's. It was visibly transformed, and her face was radiant.
Looking left and right in the mirror, gently stroking her perfect face, the Eighth Lady said softly, "If it's gone, then go find it again. I'm not short of money, but I can't be short of this medicine. Tell the nanny, if you dare to run out of this medicine, then I can't guarantee the safety of my brother and his family."
The master and servant were talking in private and did not notice the shadow that flashed past the window.
