Qingge exclaimed: "So urgent? ”

Chonglan sighed and nodded according to her eyebrows: "Let's move over first, I just hope that I am too careful, and we should go to the suburbs to relax." "She wasn't very worried about the things in the house, after so many things, Liu Yuan was embarrassed to live in her courtyard no matter how thick-skinned she was.

Qingge was busy going down to order, although the subordinates felt strange, but since it was the young lady's order, they all did it unambiguously.

Qingge came back and said: "Everyone at the bottom is busy, and it doesn't take an hour to get ready, but now that the eldest lady is in charge of the house, don't you tell her, can she let you go out so easily?" ”

Chonglan thought for a while and said, "You help me bring a message to the eldest lady, just say that my fetus has been unstable recently, and I want to go to a place with few people and good feng shui to raise a fetus, if she really doesn't allow it, we can only break in." ”

Qingge responded in a low voice, and when Ning heard Chonglan's words, he laughed twice: "Brother He'er's daughter-in-law is really good, she just woke up with the wind, and she is many times stronger than the stupid thing who is still unrepentant when she dies." ”

She turned her head to the maid and ordered: "You go and tell the young lady, just say that I am approved, let her raise the fetus outside with peace of mind, and take good care of the child in her belly." ”

The maid took the order, and the grandmother who was waiting beside her hesitated: "Madam, the uncle is clearly going to... I'm afraid it's wrong for you to do that, right? ”

Ning sneered: "Uncle? She pulled up the stall covered by her body: "Since I knew that he was with that cheap. The woman conspired, and I broke off with him. ”

In fact, it is not an exaggeration for the Ning family to think like this, when Yan Sanle first planned, he really had the idea of letting the county lord of Qinghe replace her, but it was only later that he saw the person of the county lord of Qinghe, so he put out his mind.

Chonglan got Ning's permission, and refused to delay for a moment, and after packing up a little, she got into the carriage to the other courtyard, thought about it and didn't feel at ease, so she simply brought Yan Ning over, and ordered someone to clean up before she could live in it, she finally took care of the food properly, loosely pulled her hair in a bun and lay down on her back in the futon.

These days, there has been a lot of news, first of all, it was reported in the Qi State Mansion that the county lord of Qinghe fell ill because of the injury caused by childbirth, and he stayed up for half a month but did not survive, and finally died of illness in bed.

The Pingle County Prince's Mansion naturally sent someone to check, but it didn't find out any details, plus the county king doesn't pay much attention to the second-married county lord now, and held a small funeral, so this matter is naturally gone.

Then came the news on her business, almost all the cargo ships on the shore were stopped, the hired boatmen were all pulled to interrogate one by one, and even the business of the shops on the shore was affected, and the shopkeepers were taken for questioning, and the shops could not be opened.

Although these are not good news, fortunately, her family's great cause can withstand the wind and waves, and the news after the meal made her really unable to sit still, and news came from the coast that Yan He had successfully repelled the Japanese invaders, but was ambushed on the ship when he retreated, and he did not know whether he was alive or dead.

Chonglan didn't take these rumors seriously at all, but the more they spread, the more she had a nose and eyes, and she hadn't received a letter from Yan He for several days, so she couldn't help but feel anxious, and she was restless with her stomach during the day.

While she was absentmindedly looking at the account book this day, while listening to Yang Zhong's complaints, Qingyun rushed in: "Young lady, the eldest young master is here!" ”

Chonglan was stunned, and immediately reacted, surprised and delighted: "Big brother is here, please come in." She raised her hand casually, and asked Yang Zhong to take the guest house to rest.

Qingyun immediately turned around to greet the person, and after a while, he saw Chongyan walking in, unbuttoning the cloak and handing it to the person below, raising his hand to let her sit down: "You don't need to entertain me because of your heavy body, there are people." ”

Chonglan has been tired recently, and she was not polite when she heard this, but smiled: "How can my eldest brother have the strength to come and see me?" What about the second brother and second sister-in-law? ”

Chongyan said: "You suddenly ran to the Zhuangzi of the other courtyard and didn't tell us, I still inquired about the people in Qi Guofu." ”

He paused before saying, "Your second sister-in-law is two months pregnant, and your second brother wants to take care of her side, so I didn't call him over, anyway, he will make a mess when he comes." ”

Chonglan sneered: "I also came here in a hurry. After she finished speaking, she was pleasantly surprised: "The second sister-in-law is pregnant?" ”

Speaking of this, Chongyan also had a smile in his eyes: "Well, I was diagnosed only a few days ago, and your second sister-in-law used to dance with knives and sticks every morning for a long time, but now she can only sit at home and raise the fetus." ”

He lightly clasped the lid of the bowl with his fingers: "It's that your second brother is a lot sensible, and he doesn't go out to mix when he has nothing to do." ”

Chonglan thought of Zheng Zhao's pregnancy, felt that scene was inexplicably funny, covered her mouth and smiled: "That's good, if you give birth to a boy in the future, it's best to look like a second sister-in-law, so that you are more manly, don't be like our family, both men and women are generally gorgeous." ”

Chongyan choked and glanced at her lightly, Chonglan continued to smile: "The second brother and sister-in-law are now harmonious and beautiful, if you have nephews and nieces in the future, you will definitely be more happy, you are still alone, isn't it uncomfortable to stay in the house?" ”

He sat in a strict and orderly manner, and asked rhetorically: "No matter how many children they have, they have to call me uncle, what's so uncomfortable?" ”

Knowing that what she said was not this, what topic did she diverge? However, Chongyan has been reluctant to marry all these years, and it was useless for Chonglan to persuade him, so he had to change his mind and say: "You may have been a jinshi for a long time, can you send it down?" ”

The official position of the Qi Dynasty has always been that there are more monks and less porridge, and if it is a commoner who has nothing to do with it, it is not uncommon for him to wait a few years to be sent.

Chonglan is not a pedantic person, and sometimes he wants to mention this matter to Yan He, but he didn't expect to be rejected by him righteously, I really don't know what kind of awkward thing he is making.

Chongyan himself was not in a hurry at all, but shook his head: "It's okay, it will always come down, don't be in a hurry to tell your sister-in-law, you don't have to let people say that we marry our sister just to make benefits." ”

Chonglan heard him mention Yan He, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but droop, and he smiled reluctantly: "Even if you want to mention it now, you can't find anyone." ”

Chongyan looked at her and muttered: "I have also heard about my brother-in-law's affairs and your business, and you don't have a backbone at home now, so I came here to help you take care of these things." ”

He thought for a moment and said, "Tell me everything that has happened recently. ”

Chonglan breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but show a little helplessness in his eyes, and told the things of these days in detail.

Chongyan closed his eyes slightly, and was silent for a long time before he said lightly: "Fortunately, you woke up and moved out early, otherwise I was afraid that there would really be trouble." ”

Chonglan straightened up and waited for him to speak, he stretched out his hand to look at the tabletop, and the square table of yellow rosewood made a soft sound: "Recently, the news of my sister-in-law being assassinated, the old lady died of illness, and the Duke of Qi was also paralyzed and couldn't move. ”

Chonglan was stunned, subconsciously lowered her head and touched her belly, and hesitated: "The child conceived by the stepmother can also attack the lord, but although she is the lord of the county, she is a woman, can she do so many things?"

Chongyan said indifferently: "If I remember correctly, when the old lady Yan was newly mourned, the uncle of the Yan family was very concerned about the title. ”

Chonglan was stunned again: "But it's not so simple for him to want to inherit the title, in addition to my children, even my stepmother's children, as well as my father-in-law's concubine, have to be removed together." He doesn't interfere in the affairs of his father-in-law's inner courtyard. ”

Chongyan's eyes were light: "If you want to succeed, you must cooperate with the outside officialdom and the back house, if your uncle and your stepmother join forces, isn't it much easier?" ”

This is what Chonglan has been pondering: "I remembered when you said this, I saw that the uncle was very sad for the second lady's child, and he was so angry when he learned that the child was dead, but why did the two of them join forces?" Even if it is successful, the uncle has won the title and benefits, what does it have to do with the county lord of Qinghe? ”

Chongyan looked at her steadily, and suddenly changed his words: "You know that the Feng family's stepmother and concubine are connected. Adultery, right? ”

Chonglan paused for a moment before reacting, and said with her mouth wide open: "You, you mean the uncle and the second lady..."

Chongyan waved his hand: "It's just my random speculation, as soon as you said that your uncle attaches great importance to the child born by your stepmother, I came up with this idea." ”

Chonglan's eyes were still wide with surprise, Chongyan slowly stood up, reached out and patted her shoulder: "If your uncle really wants to inherit the title, you and the child are his obstacles, and your recent business accidents can also prove this." ”

Chonglan finally straightened things out and sighed deeply.

Chonglan hesitated for a moment, and rarely slowed down her voice: "I live in the courtyard next door to you, don't come forward by yourself if you have anything to do lately, just come to me." ”

He thought about it for a while, and added: "My sister-in-law has been fighting for many years, and he won't capsize in such a small scene, you can relax and wait for him to come back." ”

Chonglan looked up: "Big brother..."

Chongyan was born to say pretty things, but he just bowed his head at her, took off his cloak and turned back.

Since she knew other people's calculations, it was much better than a few days ago, Chonglan gradually put her mind at ease, she thought that she would have to wait a few more days before she needed to delay the horse, but she didn't expect Yan Sanle to come to the door within a few days.

Chonglan obeyed Chongyan's instructions, and he didn't come forward, so he ordered someone to call Chongyan to come over and send people.

Yan Sanle first cared for Chonglan's body for a few words, and then sighed, saying that it is inevitable that it will be inconvenient to live in another village in the suburbs, and it is better to invite his nephew and daughter-in-law to come back to live.

Chongyan replied lightly, Yan Sanle said a few words, and his attitude gradually hardened, looking like he wanted to force Chonglan to return home, Chonglan didn't move at all, just a sentence "The third sister is unwell, and she can't stand the rush of cars and horses." "Sent him away lightly.

Of course, Yan Sanle was unwilling to return empty-handed, wouldn't it be ugly to be planted in the hands of a descendant, he was silent for a while, and suddenly sighed: "I have a few colleagues and juniors who told me that my nephew and daughter-in-law's business has encountered some problems, and she can't solve them when she stays in this village, and I can still say something in Hangzhou Mansion and the Criminal Department, so it is better to let my nephew and daughter-in-law go back with me, and make things clear, and she can still continue to operate shop shipping." ”

Chongyan quietly lowered his eyes and looked at the teacup in his hand: "No matter how big the business is, it is not as important as the heir, so the uncle doesn't need to say much." ”

Yan Sanle narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with a wry smile: "If it were ordinary business matters, I wouldn't have come to ask, but this time..."

He sank his face and looked at Chongyan coldly: "This time, I learned from the steward shipwright under my nephew and daughter-in-law that her cargo ship had been transported to the fire. weapons, private soldiers. Fire is a big crime to lose her head, and now that the human certificate is there, if she doesn't come forward to explain, I'm afraid that even the young master of the in-laws and my nephew will be involved! ”

Chonglan, who was eavesdropping in the back, jumped in his heart, and his brows furrowed, and sure enough, this matter was still found out by Yan Sanle.

Chongyan's hand holding the teacup paused, but this subtle movement did not escape Yan Sanle's eyes, and he finally showed a smile on his face: "I didn't come to torture people today, the matter must be solved, as long as my nephew and daughter-in-law go with me, I can think of a way to stop this matter." ”

Chongyan only stopped for a moment, then gently pressed the tea leaves with the lid of the bowl, and said indifferently: "The third sister hasn't done these things, I don't know what you want to say, if you want to arrest someone, just take the arrest warrant." ”

Yan Sansi didn't expect him to be calm at this time, and he was slightly stunned before he said coldly: "The young master of the in-laws has thought clearly?" ”

Chonglan looked down at the teacup, without the meaning of replying, Yan Sansi knew that there was nothing to say at this time, so he just snorted and turned around.

Chonglan saw that he was far away before turning out of the side room, sitting opposite Chongyan, and sighed long: "I'm really tired of these intrigues, can't I live a good life?" ”

Chongyan said lightly: "No matter how poor the Duke of Qi is, he is also a first-class duke, how many people can't reach a position in a few lifetimes, and it can also benefit future generations, and it is common sense for your uncle to be worried." ”

Chonglan responded tiredly, and at this time she missed Yan He very much.

Yan Sanle's opportunity soon came, news came out in the palace, the prince was seriously ill in the confinement, and the prince who gave birth was not very healthy, and the queen was busy taking care of it, and had no time to take care of it.

All of a sudden, there was a lot of noise in Jinling City, from the nobles to the ordinary people, everyone was in danger.

Chonglan felt that something was wrong when he knew the news, so he quickly ordered someone to find Chongyan, and carefully placed Yan Ning properly, closed the gate, and arranged for his own soldiers to patrol on all sides, and wait for him.

Chongyan wrinkled his eyebrows in the main hall and was silent, Chonglan smiled helplessly at him: "It's still the same sentence, I just hope that I have a lot of heart, but the other courtyard has to be under martial law for the next few days." ”

Heavy extension of the jaw: "You have done a good job, and the heart of guarding against others is indispensable." ”

Yan Sanle really lived up to the expectations of the two, and as soon as it was night, he took his own soldiers to the Chonglan Courtyard and shouted at the door: "Yan Chongshi, you committed a private soldier. Fire, transporting ships, plotting against each other, making such a big mistake, don't be quick to be caught! ”

There are only two courtyards in Chonglan and Chongyan nearby, and the other noble courtyards, such as Hejiabizhuang, are at least two miles away, and there may not be people, so Yan Sanle shouted very relieved.

Chonglan smiled and whispered a few words to Jiang Cheng who was standing on the side, he was full of anger and shouted loudly: "Our young lady said, since she committed such a big crime of raiding her family and exterminating her clan, according to the law, you are also one of her nine clans, since you are so selfless, it is better to punish yourself first." ”

There was silence outside for a moment, and naturally they realized that Chonglan was playing with them, so there were extremely rude insults one after another outside, but after a while, they heard the sound of heavy objects hitting the gate, but fortunately, the vermilion gate was thick enough, and it didn't move for a long time.

Many people tried to climb the wall to get in, but Yan He's own soldiers were not dry, and immediately drew their swords to meet them.

Chonglan let go of a lot in her heart, Chongyan frowned and looked at her stomach, and her tone was a little heavier: "Your body is important, go back and rest well, I am here." ”

Chonglan hesitated and didn't leave, and when he saw that he was going to take compulsory measures, he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, I'll go back, big brother, you not only have to keep an eye on the main entrance, but also take people to patrol everywhere to prevent this person from taking advantage of the loophole."

Chongyan nodded in response, and Chonglan reluctantly returned to the yard, but where can he sleep in this situation? could only pace anxiously in the house, and Qingge Qingyun persuaded him several times to no avail.

After pacing back and forth for half an hour, she suddenly saw a sky-high fire on the east side of the courtyard, which was scorching to the eye, and she hurriedly stepped out and asked in exclamation, "What's the matter?" ”

After waiting for a long time, no one could answer this question, she couldn't bear to rush out by herself, and saw Jiang Cheng striding over, frowning tightly: "Madam, the shopkeeper surnamed Yang under your command just cut Young Master Chong's arm and ran to the east gate with Young Master Yan, and now Young Master Chong has already led people to chase him." ”

Yang Zhong often comes to the courtyard these days, his family has been doing things for the Chong family for several generations, he has helped Chonglan with some business in the past few years, and he has always been loyal and diligent, so she naturally didn't care.

But when she heard that Chongyan was cut and Yan Ning was taken away, she was so panicked that she almost couldn't stand, and almost fell to the ground, but Qingge saw the opportunity quickly and helped her. She asked in a panic, "Is there something wrong with the eldest brother?" How could Brother Ning be taken away?! “

After she finished speaking, she took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the panic in her heart: "You immediately take someone to the east gate, save Brother Ning, stop Yang Zhong, and you must not let him bring people into the east gate." ”

Chong Yan frowned and led people to the east gate, the injury on his hand had simply stopped bleeding, fortunately it was only a flesh wound, he thought of Yang Zhong like Chong Lan would open the door and let people in, so he hurried over without stopping.

When he arrived at the east gate, the east gate was already wide open, and the people guarding the door were nowhere to be found.

Outside the east gate is a dense forest, Yang Zhong wants to run is not so easy, he followed the broken branch all the way forward, about a stick of incense to vaguely see Yang Zhong's back, there are a few people around to guard.

Yang Zhong also saw him, his face was full of panic, and he ran into the forest impatiently, and saw more than a dozen people coming out of the other end of the forest, all equipped with swords, but they didn't look like officers and soldiers, like guards of any family.

The person at the head was tall and slender, looking at someone who was not Yan Sanle, Chongyan thought for a while, and said in a loud voice to the front: "This person is a thief, please help me stop this person!" ”
