Jian Ying watched his figure disappear behind the door curtain blankly, and when she came back to her senses, she covered her face and smiled.

She struggled for a long time, but it turned out to be like this. If she had known this, she would not have come.

She can understand Zhou Shu's feelings, whose mother is said to be a murderer, no one is comfortable. Understanding is understanding, but as soon as you are angry, you will not choose to say anything, and you will hang the word "end" on your lips, and this kind of poor problem must not be used to.

Even if it really ends, it won't be his turn.

I want to show her face, and it depends on whether she is willing to continue.

After standing for a while, he walked out with his hands on his hands.

Xueqin, Caiping, and Yuanfang saw Zhou Shu leave angrily, only when the two of them quarreled, and when they saw her come out, they all looked at her with worried eyes.

Jian Ying was in no mood to explain to them, and ordered lightly: "Go back." ”

Xue Qin answered "yes", wrapping her in the thick cloak while carefully looking at her face, "Second Young Lady, you and Second Young Master...... You okay? ”

Jian Ying curled the corners of her lips, "It's okay if I don't care." ”

Xue Qin's hand moved, her eyes flashed with surprise, and she couldn't guess for a while whether she said this was a matter of concern, or she was ready to care.

Zhou Shu rushed out of the tea garden in one breath, walking indiscriminately without knowing the direction, and his heart was in a mess.

God also likes to play tricks, and it rains at this time. The raindrops were not thick, they were carried by the cold wind and hit the face drop by drop. It was like an invisible finger that was unrelentingly clasped on the heart of his memory.

For as long as he could remember, he knew that the old lady didn't like the Qin family, and the eyes in his eyes were also cold and detached.

Although he was a bit withdrawn at that time. But how can there be a child who doesn't crave the love of his elders? Whenever he saw the old lady's kind face towards Zhou Qing, Zhou Han and even Zhou Xiang, he would seriously reflect on it. What did he do wrong, and why didn't his grandmother like him?

He may have a grudge in his heart. That's why you intentionally or unintentionally run to the Buddha hall to make trouble, right?

He also once asked the Qin family why the old concubine didn't like their mother and son.

He remembered that Qin touched his head, his smile was gentle, but his eyes were dyed with bitterness, and he said: "Shu'er, you have to remember that people live in the world, and it is impossible to be liked by all people, and it is impossible to like all people.

Be nice to what you like and who likes you. For people you don't like and don't like you, it's enough to have a clear conscience. ”

At that time, he seemed to understand whether he understood or not, but now that he thinks about it, in addition to lamenting Qin's open-mindedness, he can also deeply understand her sadness and helplessness.

The mother concubine in his memory has always been kind and reasonable. Before Jian Ying came to him, to be precise, before Jian Ying said that sentence, he was convinced. The death of his mother was caused by the unilateral malice of others, and she was not at fault of any kind.

He could have retorted loudly and bluntly, but at that time he remembered something he shouldn't have remembered.

It had already passed the third watch that night, and the old lady suddenly sent someone to call the Qin family away.

The Qin clan went for a long time and didn't come back. He tossed and turned alone and couldn't sleep, and his heart was very restless. Because after the old lady got sick, her temper became very strange. often called the Qin family over in the morning and evening, and used this or that thing to tribulate her.

He was worried that the Qin clan would suffer. I was clamoring to find my mother. The subordinates had no choice but to help him get dressed. Take him to the courtyard where the old lady lived.

When he entered the door, he saw Concubine Baifang, Concubine Wenshu, Zhou Qing, Zhou Han, Zhou Xiang, and many maids-in-law, all of whom were guarding outside, but the Qin family was not there.

asked Qingmo, the eldest girl beside the Qin family, and Qingmo said that the princess was talking with the old lady in the room, and the old lady had something to say to the princess alone.

It didn't take long for the Qin family to come out with a white face, and everyone cheered around to ask if the old lady was not good.

Qin said that the old lady was fine, but she was tired and had fallen asleep with her service. Let everyone rest assured, just go back to their own yards to rest.

When everyone dispersed, the Qin family called the mother-in-law and girl beside the old lady over and told them, saying that the old lady was sick, and Min felt light, and repeatedly told them not to go in and disturb before dawn.

When he saw that the Qin family was good, he was relieved, couldn't stop his thirst, and on the way back to Jinggu Courtyard, he fell asleep on the back of a mother-in-law. In a daze, it seemed that he saw the Qin clan slump on the ground as soon as he entered the door. The whole person was trembling, as if he had been greatly frightened.

Qingmo repeatedly asked her what was wrong, but she only shook her head and said, "Don't ask", and refused to reveal a trace of tone.

What happened after that, he didn't know.

On the fifth watch, he was woken up by his subordinates, saying that it was the old lady Bintian, and asked him to get up and wear filial piety clothes.

After receiving the news of the death of the first emperor, the king of Ji'an rushed to the capital to mourn. By the time I learned that my mother had passed away and returned from the capital, the old lady had passed away for several days.

One night before the old lady was buried, he was awakened by a noise. Looking out from the door of the compartment, I saw King Ji'an grabbing the Qin clan and shaking angrily, and the vases, teacups and other things were shattered to the ground.

He was about to rush out, but he was forcibly taken away by Qingmo covering his mouth. The moment the door was closed, he vaguely heard Qin crying and saying, "It's not me, it's really not me, you must believe me, lord......"

When he woke up the next day, he asked the Qin family, and the Qin family smiled with red eyes: "There was some misunderstanding between me and your father, and now the misunderstanding has been solved, it's okay." ”

At the time, he believed it to be true, but what if the misunderstanding was not solved? Or, there was no misunderstanding at all?

If Mr. Su is not talking nonsense, the old lady really had a bandage around her neck when she passed away, then who wrapped the bandage around her, and why did she wrap the bandage?

Thinking about it in connection with Qin's various unusual expressions that night, the more I thought about it, the more frightened I became, and the more I thought about it, the more I realized that what Jian Ying said was not groundless nonsense.

He believed that his mother was kind and soft by nature, but who could be without fault if he was not a sage? What if his mother didn't have a clear conscience about those who didn't like her as she taught him, and made a mistake in a moment of confusion?

Or did she have something to do wrong?

Every time he assumed it, he felt like a hammer in his chest, it hurt and stuffed, and he could barely breathe.

After walking for a long time, I suddenly felt a darkness above my head, and someone shouted "Second Young Master" in my ear. When he came back to his senses, he saw a little guy raising his arms high and holding an umbrella for him to cover the rain.

When he looked around, he found that he had unconsciously walked outside King Ji'an's study.

Go ask for clarification!

As soon as this thought came to mind, it was irrepressible.

He clenched his fists and clenched them, and his voice opened with difficulty, "Is my father here?" ”

"Yes, the prince didn't go out today, and he was reading a book inside." The little guy guarding the door replied, tilted his head again, and looked at his bloodless face worriedly, "Second young master, you...... You okay? But what's uncomfortable? ”

"I want to see my father." Zhou Shu replied to the question, then walked out of the umbrella and rushed inside......
