When all the threats that need to be faced around him are temporarily eliminated, and the days begin to become dull, you can take care of all kinds of herbs and vegetables and fruits in the yard every day, and prepare a variety of health-preserving medicinal diets to supplement your body that has lost some money after tossing before, and also send a copy to Yinzhen and Wulanala by the way. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info can do some favorite things in their spare time, and the servants and maids can say some interesting folklore and observations, after the weather warms up, watching Xiao Shunzi teach the two children some protective fists and feet, the mood has also become bright from depression. This is the stability that I have always longed for, although it is only temporary, but I feel that I cherish it extraordinarily, and I look forward to long-term peace even more.

"Why doesn't my sister ask the old man why he wants to harm us?" Qian asked, holding the embroidery thread in his hand, dividing a strand of silk thread into several thin strands.

The weather is getting warmer and the children are getting older, and although the Ministry of Internal Affairs is in charge of supplying the supplies, as a mother, I still want to make some close-fitting clothes for the children. I don't have good embroidery, only the pattern is good, so I will do the work of drawing the pattern, and the work of embroidery and sewing belongs to the Qian family.

After drawing the pattern in his hand, he responded to Qian's question, and asked rhetorically: "Why do you think of her today?"

"It's nothing, but I suddenly remembered that at this time in previous years, the old clan would come over and walk around, either to send us a few jars of good wine, or to come over to help the branch line chatter, it's a pity, who would have thought that a poor woman like her, who seemed to be simple, would have such sinister intentions, I really don't know why. Besides, we have never provoked her, since she entered the house, everyone has turned a blind eye to her, and no one even paid attention to her when she was sick and wanted to ask a doctor to take a look, and then if it wasn't for her sister to help her see the illness, and she got her sister's care, the housekeepers and servants in the house did not dare to be scornful, and this was a few years of comfortable life. But who would have thought that not only was she not grateful, but she calculated everywhere, and at the end of the day, she put saffron in the kimchi jar, and said that she thought it was a tonic and didn't know that pregnant women couldn't eat it, do you believe it? Anyway, I don't believe it, I didn't expect such a clumsy excuse, how could the fourth master and Fu Jin believe it? Just punished her for copying Buddhist scriptures behind closed doors, and this punishment was really cheap for her. Qian said that he thought of Hongli who was almost killed by poisonous water when he washed three times, and thought of my two unborn children, the movements of his hands stopped, and he gritted his teeth and said angrily.

"These days, I have also carefully thought about what happened after the old family entered the house, and it is indeed a little strange to contact some of the news that Xiao Shunzi asked to inquire before, but I can't figure out what she is doing this for. According to those who were enemies of us in the past, it can be said that they were jealous because of the competition between women or for factional disputes, but when she entered the mansion, she already knew very well that she could not be half favored, not to mention jealousy, and she was neither Manchu nor Han, but the daughter of the leader of a small ethnic group like the Lisu tribe, and she was not involved in the battle for the throne. The most important thing is that from the beginning to the end, it seems that she is just targeting us, and she does not feel sorry for others. My parents are simple families, rarely get in touch with people, I have never been in contact with the people of the Lisu people before entering the house, as for you is even more impossible, living in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time, although Yunnan has a place name with a 'south' word, but it is thousands of miles apart, it really can't be related. Ruling out the possibility of an old enemy, I was also curious about her reasons and purposes for us. "I took the overly good thread spool from Qian's hand, and said with a puzzled heart.

"Instead of guessing like this, why don't you go and ask for clarification in person?" Qian Shi noticed his gaffe, restrained his emotions, and thought about it and said.

It is true that I need to ask the old man directly to understand clearly, but I don't know where to start. couldn't help but sigh and said, "Although the old clan has been calculating us for no reason, I don't know why, I always feel that she is a poor person." I didn't know who was behind the bad things before, and I did have murderous intentions, but later I found out that she was the one who did these things, and I couldn't hold hatred at all except feeling sad for her. I don't think she wants to kill us, otherwise with our previous relationship so close to the point that she could do it countless times, and she could make us die quietly, but if she didn't do it, it means that she may be struggling inside. After experiencing Chun'er's betrayal and Aster's betrayal, both of these times in an extremely tragic way to force me to accept the fact that I was betrayed by a trusted friend, this time I wanted to face it in a peaceful way, the result was not important, just to find the answer to all the puzzles. So I wanted to wait, wait until we were all calmed down and then go to see her, find some other reason to pass, not to question, just to find an answer. ”

Qian listened to me say this in a calm tone, and there was a confused look on her face, and I knew that she didn't understand why I wanted to excuse someone who had murdered us repeatedly.

I don't want to explain the reason to Qian, some things can't be explained clearly in one or two sentences, often just a feeling, an obsession, just want to seek peace of mind for myself.

Regardless of whether the Qian family can understand my thoughts, this matter is settled, the time to see the old family was originally to find a traditional festival of the Lisu people, but after asking Xiao Shunzi to ask about the festival of the Lisu people, he found that the nearest festival was to the Bathing Cow Festival in June, which was not suitable for chatting, so he simply chose the day of the Qingming Festival.

Thinking that the people of the Lisu nationality have always liked to eat taro, they steamed the taro sent by the Internal Affairs Office to Lipu on the first day, put it in a cold slice, prepared a sugar dish, and prepared Qingming fruit, peach blossom porridge and a few plates of traditional food, and asked the Wulanala clan for permission to go to the courtyard of the old clan.

There was someone guarding the gate of the old clan's courtyard, and when he saw that he had a warrant from Fu Jin, he didn't make it difficult for him to let me in. The small courtyard, which was not lively at this time, was even colder at this time, and there were no other servants in the courtyard except for the bridal girl Anan brought by the old family when he entered the mansion. When Anan saw me enter the courtyard, his face suddenly became vigilant, and he asked respectfully but coldly, "Why did Geng Gege come here today?"

I didn't care about Anan's vigilance, and said softly with a smile: "Today is the Qingming Festival, and the house will not make hot food at this time of year, and the portion is not much, thinking that Lao Gege is in a difficult situation this year, lest the people in the dining room in the house be sluggish, it just so happened that yesterday the Internal Affairs Office had fresh Lipu taro delivered, so I personally made some for your family Gege to taste, and also brought other wine and food to accompany her to chat." ”

Anan hesitated, pursed his lips, and whispered in embarrassment: "My family Gege is now wearing a sinful body, and his body is a little unwell, so it is inconvenient to meet guests, and I ask Geng Gege to forgive me." ”

"It's okay, I've got Fujin's permission to come here today, and I can't delay if I'm not feeling well, so I can have some medical skills, so it's good to take a look at it first." Ignoring Anan's words, he walked to the other side of the house.

When Anan heard me say this, he looked at the closed door, and seemed to be afraid of something and didn't want me to get close, but because of my identity and the permission of the Ulanala clan, he wanted to stop it for a while, but he didn't dare, so he could only see that I didn't wait for her to report and didn't want to let Xiao Shunzi push the door open, so he had to step forward and shout rudely to the house: "Gege, Geng Gege came to visit." ”

Seeing Anan's strange words and deeds, he knew that something was wrong, but he didn't break it, but just followed Xiao Shunzi to speed up a few steps into the house.

As soon as he entered the house, he saw Lao Shi standing in front of a brazier, and what was still burning in the brazier, and from the shredded paper that had not yet been burned, it was vaguely discernible that it should be a copied scripture.

"I remember that there is no Qingming Festival in the festival of the Lisu people, and not long ago, I heard that my sister's Abba and Aunt are very healthy, and I don't know who the old sister is worshipping for?"

"It's not that I want to worship anyone, I just want to burn the copied "Mantra of Death" to the Buddha on this day, pray for the blessing of my sister's unborn child, and hope that I can be blessed by the Buddha. "The old man who can get along with those serial schemes is naturally not the kind of ordinary woman who has no knowledge, but he regained his composure when I spoke, motioned to Anan to take the brazier down, walked to the table and sat down, looking at me with a light smile.

"I see, let the old sister bother. Knowing that Lao Shi's words were an excuse for me, he didn't debunk them, but responded smoothly, still filled himself and her with a smile on his face, and took the lead in picking up the wine cup and drinking it, and then put some of the food on the plate into his mouth, and then filled the empty cup again.

"Sister Geng doesn't have to be like this, I think you will come with the wine and food in person, naturally you won't be stupid enough to poison it. You are so smart, how can you not know that I am dead now, and it will not be good for Prince Yong's Mansion. As he spoke, he drank all the wine in the glass, wiped the residue from his lips with the back of his hand, and said with a joke in his tone.

"The land of western Yunnan is a good place, speaking of which time flies so fast, in a blink of an eye, the emperor has pacified the three rebellions have passed thirty-eight years, but Wu Sangui is a generation of heroes, and finally rushed to become the emperor before he died of illness, but unfortunately the descendants are useless, Wu Shifan only lasted three years and cut off the foundation that his grandfather had laid down. But then this is also inevitable, if you really let the descendants of repeated villains like Wu Sangui sit in the world, the people in the world don't know how difficult it will be now. did not take Qian's faintly mocking and provocative words, but talked about the old things in Kangxi's early years.

As soon as my words fell, I saw Qian suddenly stand up, trembling lips and unable to say half a word, his eyes wide and angry glaring at me, with frightened and murderous intent in his angry eyes. Her concentration was clearly not enough, and this reaction became a solid basis for confirming my suspicions.

"I think you shouldn't be a descendant of the Wu family, but looking at your reaction, it must have a lot to do with the Wu family, and now you are only in your early thirties, thirty-eight years old...... Could it be that he is a descendant of the side branch of the Wu family?" I said tentatively.

Lao Shi's hand clenched tightly in his fist slowly let go, and the hideous application on his face slowly stretched, slowly sat down, picked up the wine glass and drank another glass of wine to force himself to calm down, and asked: "My life experience is only known to Abba, he didn't even reveal it to Grandma, and even I only found out on the day of the marriage, how did you know? Don't say that Abba told you, this matter is related to the safety of the village, and he will not say it until he dies." ”

"It's just a guess, I haven't figured out why you want to frame me and the Qian family, you must know that Yunxi is thousands of miles away, I and the ancestors of the Qian family have never been there, and I have never had a bad relationship with anyone, except for jealousy and factional disputes, I really can't think of the need for you to frame everywhere, especially if you want to kill our children again and again, so I began to think about this matter with the elimination method of backward deduction, assuming that we are not grudges with you, then the fourth master has a grudge with you, but you were only fifteen or sixteen years old when you entered the mansion, and the fourth master has never been to Yunxi, and you have not been grudged to the point of killing his wife and concubines and heirs, and then I continued to infer up, all the way back to the emperor's body, because you first entered the palace as a tribute girl of the Lisu tribe to the emperor, just because you broke your body, the emperor can't keep you, and because you are the daughter of the patriarch of the Lisu tribe in western Yunnan, I have to point you to the fourth master to do Gege, in fact, I also want to give you a placement, which can be regarded as inheriting the loyalty and kindness of the Lisu people in western Yunnan. Thinking about it this way, your goal must have been the emperor from the beginning, but you didn't expect such a change to happen. ”

When he said these words, he kept staring at Lao Shi's expression, and saw that she was silent and listening quietly, so he continued: "With such an inference, I began to ponder, you were only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl at the time, and if there is anything that you have to do to get close to the emperor, and if you can't get close, you still have to think about constantly creating trouble in the prince's mansion, then there is only one possibility, that is, you and the royal family have a deep blood feud." In this way, step by step, the clues and inferences of western Yunnan and revenge against the royal family form a very convincing possibility, that is, the descendants of your Wu family, or the descendants of people who have a very close relationship with the Wu family. So now can you tell me, which of my guesses is closer to your identity?"

Lao's inquiry has actually indirectly admitted that my guess is correct, so there is no need to hide the inference of her identity speculation. The inference about her identity has long been doubted, but she has not figured out the various relationships, until yesterday when she was steaming taro, she listened to the close-fitting maid chattering about the sweetest taro in Lipu, Guangxi, and said that if it were not for the current emperor to pacify the rebellion of the three feudatories, he would not be able to eat such a good taro before he caught a clue in his heart, and today he saw her burning Buddhism on the day of the Qingming Festival, so he said this uncertain speculation, but he didn't expect it to be true.
