Rong Jiang met He Qi in Shangshanfang, and she was not in a good mood at that time, and her feelings were not much high.

Qian Zhilin sued her when he left Rong Mansion - because she and Rong Min were Rong Zhen's children, Rong Yu would not allow anyone to hurt them even if she worked hard in her life.

In fact, Rong Jiang was sad, she couldn't understand what kind of regret and feelings it was, so deep that her grandfather would rather congratulate Jiuzhu to marry Rong Jing, and would never allow such a girl to ruin Rong Min's reputation in the future.

When He Qi stepped on the private room of the "Hibiscus Banquet" on the third floor, Rong Jiang was still holding his cheeks, he was stunned for a moment, and walked into the interior to make a military salute, and sat down by himself while talking: "General." ”

As soon as he heard He Qi's voice, Rong Jiang came back to his senses, and there was a self-deprecating smile on his lips: "General? I've been there for a long time. ”

The corners of He Qi's mouth twitched, and he didn't comfort Rong Jiang, let alone answer her words, but just poured a cup of tea and drank it all.

Rong Jiang saw that he was eating tea very quickly, and raised his eyebrows and teased him: "You came all the way?" Thirsty like this? ”

"When you asked someone to pass the word, I was still worth it," He Qi put aside the teacup, glanced at Rong Jiang, and looked around again, "Is there something wrong?" I didn't even go on patrol, so I just ran over. ”

Rong Jiang chuckled in a low voice: "There must be something wrong with calling you here." She leaned forward as she spoke, closing the distance between her and He Qi, "I'm not going around in circles with you, I have something I want you to help with." Hearing He Qi tell her to say something very happily, Rong Jiang continued with a smile, "I want to take Jiuzhu to visit the Cao family's courtyard tomorrow night." ”

One sentence made He Qi's face change greatly, if he said that his face was warm when he came in, he was both respectful and close, but now he has turned to iron blue, and ice slag has gathered under his eyes.

He Qi snorted coldly: "It's a shame that you think of it." He lost such a sentence first, and then suddenly realized that something was wrong, and thought dumbly for a while, before asking Rong Jiang, "Do you suspect that Cao Bin framed Rong Min and them?" ”

Rong Jiang didn't intend to hide it from him, so he nodded back and reached out to pour him a cup of tea: "Why should I take Jiuzhu with me, you should know, right?" Sure enough, after finishing speaking, she saw He Qi's brows furrowed, she shrugged her shoulders indifferently, and continued, "I thought about it, this matter was originally related to her, plus you are now in charge of Jin Wuwei, how can you say that you should also help me with this?" ”

Unexpectedly, He Qi refused, and his voice became cold: "Impossible, if you want me to help you with anything, I am duty-bound, but Jiuzhu can't." ”

"Just because she's your own sister?" Rong Jiang sneered, picked up Yin'er, and stared at He Qi, "He really guessed not bad." ”

He Qi just wanted to ask, 'Who is he?', but Rong Jiang didn't give him a chance to speak, and added words to ask him: "Are you afraid that it will spread out and ruin Jiuzhu's reputation, or are you afraid that I won't be able to protect her and be held by the Cao family?" She paused for a moment, and her tone was a little heavy when she spoke again, "Don't forget, in the Jiangbei Army, you and Cheng Yi are also brothers." Now that he has been falsely accused by a traitor, will you watch him die? ”

"He is my brother, and I have no reason not to save him when he dies." He Qi froze for a while, obviously Rong Jiang didn't challenge him, but he felt a little ashamed on his face, and he didn't dare to look at Rong Jiang anymore, so he threw out the words behind him, "But you also think about this matter from a different angle?" Jiuzhu has been taken away for many days, and her reputation has been damaged, even if she returns safely now, we all know that she is unscathed, but what will people outside say? Her future has already been affected, and if I let her go with you to visit the Cao family's courtyard at night, once it is known, she will not have to live. He said with a firmer voice, "If He Ting is imprisoned today, I want to borrow Rong Jing from you, will you agree?" ”

Rong Jiang asked him to put it together, and the rest of the words were in his throat for a while.

He Qi's words are true, she wants to change her position, today he is borrowing Rong Jing to save people, and she is definitely unwilling. The reputation of the girl's family is heavier than a qiē, according to the ancients, He Jiuzhu and her sisters were abducted by traitors, and their whereabouts are unknown for several days, and they should not be alive when they return now. It's just that everyone knows this matter tacitly, and no one mentions it, it doesn't make sense that the girl is a victim, and she has to stab someone else's house again.

Seeing that Rong Jiang stopped talking, He Qi took a sip of tea and chuckled: "So you came to talk to me, it's not that I won't save you when I die, it's that I can't let you take my sister out." He patted the small case lightly, and said a little stunned, "Cheng Yi is my brother, if it is someone else's girl who can help him today, of course I will put him first, don't say it's you, just replace me, and take people to recognize the place." But no, what you want is my own sister, as the saying goes, 'the eldest brother is like a father', and now the father is still alive, once he is a hundred years old, Jiuzhu relies on me, do you think I may put her in danger? ”

"You are not as righteous as you." Rong Jiang stared at He Qi for a long time, and slowly spit out a sentence, she paused for a moment and then said, "Jiuzhu told me that day that she was not afraid. But He Qi, you are afraid. ”

He Qi's eyelids jumped suddenly several times, and he scolded this ignorant sister in his heart before he said to Shang Rongjiang: "Can I not be afraid?" She's a person who eats, drinks, and has fun all day long, and she's not afraid of heaven and earth, but I have a burden on my shoulders—" he dragged his voice and bit his words heavily, "Don't you understand this burden?" ”

There was silence in the room, and Rong Jiang couldn't answer this anymore, because what He Qi said was reasonable-what he was carrying was the rise and fall of the entire He family, and what Zhao Qi said that day was fulfilled. He Qi was really sorry for He Jiuzhu, and secondly, he was even more afraid that the He family would offend the Cao family and even the emperor because of this.

Before she came, she still had a glimmer of hope, maybe Zhao Liang also had a miscalculation of people's hearts? Maybe He Qi will value the friendship in the army more than they think? It wasn't until He Qi said these words that she knew that she was thinking too simply.

Seeing that He Qi was about to get up, Rong Jiang turned his heart sideways, and stretched out his hand to pull him through the small case: "My grandfather should have sent someone to the door to propose marriage." ”

He Qi's heart was shocked, and his movements to get up froze, staring at Rong Jiang for a long time, as if to confirm whether she was joking or not, and after a while, he narrowed his eyes, and when he spoke, he was full of mockery: "In order to save Rong Min and Cheng Yi, Rong Guogong made such a big sacrifice." ”

He has been in officialdom for all these years, and he is not an ignorant child. With a character like Rong Yu, how could he be willing to marry He Jiuzhu into the Rong Mansion? He Qi thought about it and couldn't help but snort coldly.

Rong Jiang saw him like this, and withdrew his hand a little sneeringly: "Is there anything wrong with this?" At least I'm very much in favor of this family business. What you think and fear, you will have to bear it in the future."

"What will the Rong family bear?" He Qi unceremoniously interrupted Rong Jiang's words, which also caused Rong Jiang to look at him with a cold face.
