50. The fiftieth step of the minister
Xiao Jingshu's affairs want to be dealt with as Xiao Mu and Xiao Jingshu thought, they have no loss, it is not simple, but if they just want to save Xiao Jingshu, it will be much easier.
Since the person who impeached Boss Qi knew that it was Xiao Jingshu who killed the person, how could Xiao Jingshu beat the dead person as a woman! In the final analysis, it was just the subordinates of the Qi family who killed people, and Xiao Jingshu was the most, at most a bystander.
Xiao Qiao looked at Xiao's mother, who bowed her head in front of him for the first time for Xiao Jingshu, and chuckled, since she wanted to save Xiao Jingshu, then the Qi family, which would not have happened this time, would pay for Xiao Jingshu's willfulness.
The Qi family is also anxious at the moment, and after the incident of the eldest prince in the court, the matter of the prince has been boiling and has not stopped. The Qi family is the outer family of the Seven Princes, and they have been watched by several people, but now they can be involved in a book just a little thing, let alone kill someone.
In the past, even if a person was killed, it would just be a matter of going to the government to prepare a case, but now it is different from the past, and a simple solution is to push Xiao Jingshu out.
Qi Qingyun now puts Xiao Jingshu on the tip of his heart, and heard the old man say that he wants to lock Xiao Jingshu in the ancestral hall and receive some family laws. Xiao Jingshu is now in a weak situation, and if she enters the ancestral hall, she may really come out sideways.
Xiao Jingshu was so frightened that she was sweating profusely while lying on the bed, "Ying'e, how is it outside?" ”
Ying'e opened the window and looked, there were more than twice as many people guarding the courtyard, and all of them looked fierce.
"Young lady, there are more and more people guarding outside." Ying'e lowered her head and said in a low voice, "Young lady, we can't sit still like this. ”
Xiao Jingshu clenched her teeth tightly, her face was a little hideous, "That slut, my poor child, it's easy to kill her." ”
"Young lady, you can't say that now." A trace of strange love flashed in Ying'e's eyes, looking at Xiao Jingshu lying on the bed, her voice carried a hint of bewitchment, "Young lady, if the ancestral hall is used properly, it may not be useless for us." ”
"How do you use it?" Xiao Jingshu has always known that Ying'e next to her is a clever person, and thanks to Ying'e in the past, her life was better.
Ying'e lay on the edge of the bed and whispered: "Young lady, there are so many more people outside the courtyard, and the young master has not come, the Qi family has locked us up in the ancestral hall, if we play any shady tricks, we can't prevent it." ”
Xiao Jingshu's brows gradually furrowed when she heard this, she knew that there were many unsightly methods in the ancestral hall that could torture people in an inhuman form, so she didn't want to go in.
"What then?" Xiao Jingshu grabbed Ying'e's hand and clenched it tightly, almost grabbing Ying'e's hand.
Ying'e didn't seem to feel the pain, and slightly hooked the corners of her mouth, "Young lady, if you just let the young lady go in and make a show at that time, then it's naturally nothing." If they want to do it in the ancestral hall at that time, the slaves and maids have a way to escape from the Qi family. ”
"What?" Xiao Jingshu looked at Ying'e suspiciously, Ying'e's voice became more and more weird, but the content of the words made Xiao Jingshu ignore these weirdness.
"Young lady, the slave maid has a medicine here that can make people fake their death for seven days, and when the young lady takes the medicine, the slave and maid will find a way to take you away after seven days." Ying'e's voice was almost close to nothing at the end, and Xiao Jingshu nodded as if she was bewitched, "Okay! ”
In the court, there were only a few people who didn't deal with the Qi family who kept holding on to Xiao Jingshu's matter, but two days later, suddenly many ministers began to worry about it.
Xiao Jingshu's matter is a private matter in the backyard of the Qi family at best, and it is related to the attitude of the Qi family at a large level. To dare to murder people in such an open and honest manner is simply to despise the emperor's authority.
The ministers are very good at buttoning their hats and splashing dirty water, even if the Qi family is the outer family of the Seventh Prince, but there are still three princes and four princes among the adult princes, and a Seventh Prince who is still studying in the academy really has nothing to make the ministers fear, and it is not even as dazzling as the Eighth Prince in the northwest.
The old man of the Qi family was anxious, and the matter of being attacked and annihilated by the ministers in the backyard was just a trivial matter, but recently someone has taken advantage of this time to start fishing in troubled waters and investigating the Qi family. So far, I haven't found out who stretched out this hand, and I don't know what that person has found, and the Qi family can't really be clean without a trace of dirt and dirt.
In a fit of rage, Old Man Qi really imprisoned Xiao Jingshu in the ancestral hall, and gave an order to teach a good lesson.
In fact, with the Xiao family, Old Man Qi will not really kill Xiao Jingshu secretly, Xiao Qiao's rising momentum is now fierce, and Concubine Ning is also wooing Xiao Qiao. Regardless of whether Xiao Qiao's relationship with Xiao Jingshu is good or not, as long as they are both surnamed Xiao, it is impossible for him to let Xiao Jingshu die in the Qi family.
However, Xiao Jingshu was scared on the first day she was imprisoned in the ancestral hall, what kept her was not a spacious and comfortable place, but a cold and cramped cabin, although no one dared to be disrespectful to her on the surface, but the food was rough, and the cold ground at night seemed to have a trace of yin qi drilling into her back.
Xiao Jingshu was already weak because of miscarriage, and the ancestral hall was not a good place to nourish her body, so Xiao Jingshu fell ill the next day, but the guards outside the door only invited a doctor and simply grabbed the side medicine.
Looking out through the small window, Xiao Jingshu took out the small pill that Ying'e gave her before coming in, the small pill was snow-white as a whole, and there was a fragrance on the smell. Xiao Jingshu put away the pills, even if she wanted to fake her death, it was impossible to fake her death so quickly, she had to wait, wait.
Seven days later, a terrible cry came out in the ancestral hall of Qi Mansion, causing chaos in the entire Qi Mansion.
Old Man Qi looked at Xiao Jingshu who was lying on the bed with a blue face, and the doctor checked his pulse through the handkerchief with a trembling face, trembling, "Lord Qi, the young lady of your mansion has ...... It's already dead. ”
Old Man Qi squinted his eyes and looked at the servant woman kneeling on the ground and was furious: "How do you serve the young lady, you neglect the master one by one." Someone came, dragged these people out and sold them. ”
Several servant women screamed and were dragged out, and Old Man Qi's face softened slightly, "Come on, send the young lady back." ”
"Yes." A few powerful grandmothers carried people out of the ancestral hall, and the old man Qi's back bent down at once, "Go and inform the Xiao Mansion, just say that the young lady is heartbroken and depressed when she loses her son." If I hear anything else out there, watch my head. ”
The people were silent, except for those who stayed to clean up the ancestral hall, they all quietly retreated.
When Qi Qingyun heard the news of Xiao Jingshu's death, he was stunned for a while, locked himself in the house, and didn't come out for a few days, and he didn't know whether it was because of grief or guilt.
"Shu'er, my Shu'er!" Xiao's mother's eyes were red, and her face was painful and hideous, "Xiao Qiao, he promised me to save Shu'er, he promised me." ”
"Madam, I'll go to the eldest young master, don't worry, don't worry." Mama Liu was happy for a moment when she heard the news of Xiao Jingshu's death, but she couldn't help but feel distressed when she looked at Xiao's mother's crazy appearance.
In fact, not only Mama Liu was surprised, but even Xiao Qiao was a little surprised, he didn't expect Ying'e's movements to be so fast.
Can know that Ying'e is still a coincidence by chance, although Ying'e is the son of a family, but she has always been raised in another courtyard, when Xiao Jingshu went to the other courtyard in the past, she once sent a grandmother, and the grandmother entrusted Ying'e to the housekeeper of the other courtyard before being sent out, but she was killed by robbers on the road when she left the courtyard.
Ying'e gradually grew up, because she was good and smart, she was sent to Xiao's mansion by the housekeeper, and later entered Xiao Jingshu's yard and got Xiao Jingshu's blue eyes.
But Ying'e was bent on helping her mother avenge her, and she once secretly chased her mother after she was betrayed, and saw with her own eyes how her mother was ruined to death. She hated Xiao Jingshu so much that she was enchanted, when Xiao Qiao found her, she sold the rest of her life without hesitation, just to be able to take revenge with her own hands.
"Brother Xiao, Brother Xiao?" Hu Li looked at Xiao Qiao and pushed him, "What's the matter, Brother Xiao?" What do you want? ”
"It's nothing, why did you come back so early today?" Xiao Qiao looked at Hu Li's face flushed when he pounced, and reached out and pinched his tender cheeks.
"Yu Jia has something, he left early today." Hu Li jumped slightly, jumped on the table and sat down, looking up at Xiao Qiao, "He also said that he has not been available recently, and I only found out today that he still has a home in the imperial city." ”
"Oh?" Xiao Qiao's eyes narrowed, he didn't remember that there was such a number one person in the imperial city. Listening to Hu Li's description, he should be a Jianghu person, but most of the Jianghu people are gathered on Xianshan Island, and there are only a few Jianghu people on the mainland, but there are no people who have settled in the imperial city.
In the early years, there were also people from the rivers and lakes on the mainland, but later the imperial court was purged, and the wars on the mainland continued, and there was not one out of ten major sects on the rivers and lakes. The owner of Xianshan Island took pity on the people of the rivers and lakes and gave up a huge continuous island on the periphery of Xianshan Island, and the real Xianshan Island has become a place that everyone yearns for in the rivers and lakes today, just like the people yearn for the imperial city.
"Young Master, Mama Liu is here." Outside the door, Xia Yang knocked lightly on the door and reported softly.
Xiao Qiao raised his eyebrows, looked at Hu Li with a curious face, scratched his nose, and hugged the person off the table, "Take you to see a good show." ”
"Okay." Hu Li looked at Xiao Qiao with sparkling eyes, he had been running around with Yu Jia outside recently, and he hadn't paid attention to Xiao Mansion for a long time.
Xiao Mu looked at Xiao Qiao and Hu Li who came in hand in hand, and her eyes suddenly lit up, "Xiao Qiao, you promised me to save Shu'er." ”
Xiao Qiao didn't raise his eyelids, and smoothed Hu Li's upturned hair to him, "Mother laughed, my sister's business is that my sister is depressed by herself, no matter how I find a way, I can't control my sister's mind." ”
Xiao Mu's eyes widened, panting, looking at Xiao Qiao and Hu Li's eyes were hideous and resentful, "Xiao Qiao, you will regret it, you will regret it!" ”
Xiao Qiao chuckled, took Hu Li in his arms, walked in front of Xiao's mother, leaned over, and a faint voice sounded, "Mother, I am a good son for your life, why do you want to reprimand me so much for a concubine." ”
Xiao's mother panted and couldn't say a word, Xiao Qiao stood up and pinched the meat on the waist of Hu Li, who was looking at the excitement, "Mother, you can take care of your illness, don't worry about these outsiders anymore." ”
After speaking, he walked out with Hu Li, and Xiao's mother was lying on the bed decadently, and the light in her eyes suddenly disappeared and dimmed.
