Thousands of mountains and birds fly away, and thousands of people disappear!

Qi Miao saw exactly such a scene right now.

Everything in the world is covered with snow, there are no pedestrians on the road, and birds hide in their nests to avoid the wind and snow.

There was a cold place between heaven and earth, just like Qi Miao's mood at this time.

Because Luo Ziqing didn't allow Qi Miao to ride too fast, the journey of dozens of miles took more than an hour.

went to the Chenzhou Mansion and clarified their identities, and after the officials took Qi Miao and them to see the Bai family and the four mothers-in-law.

Qi Miao went to visit the Bai family first.

The three elders of the Bai family have not seen Qi Miao, including Uncle Bai, he came back to the Hou Mansion of Anning a few times ago, she was in Yanguan, and he did not see her because he was in a hurry when he came back to the mansion.

After meeting, Qi Miao didn't say much, and directly revealed his identity, saying that he was on the order of his mother and came to visit them.

After learning her identity, Patriarch Bai hurriedly asked with concern, "Hello Miss Qi Wu, I wonder if the third master's injury has improved?" ”

Leaving the Hou Mansion that day, several people's hearts were also up and down.

I am afraid that Qi Zhengzhi has three long and two short.

Whether it is from the friendship of so many years, or from the vital interests of the Bai family, they don't want Qi Zhengzhi to have anything to do, they hope that he can live a long life.

They believed that as long as he lived, he would not forget Bai Yanfeng's kindness and would not give up the Bai clan.

Qi Zhengzhi and his wife came to help the Bai family, and they knew that this was all about Bai Yanfeng's face.

Therefore, although Bai Yanfeng is dead, in the hearts of the Bai clan, his weight is still extremely heavy.

Uncle Bai and the elders also looked at Qi Miao with concerned eyes. I'm afraid of hearing bad news.

Qi Miao smiled slightly and said, "Thank you Patriarch Bai for your concern." My father's injuries are fine and will heal in a little more time. ”

"That's good, that's good, it's really a good person with a good reward." Uncle Bai was busy saying yes.

"Who says it's not, Third Master Qi attaches great importance to love and righteousness, has a benevolent heart, and has profound blessings...... "Elder Bai praised Qi Zhengzhi without hesitation.

The patriarch of Bai is also blessed by a strong Dao Bodhisattva.

Listening to them pile up a lot of praise on his father, Qi Miao's heart was inexplicable.

In the eyes of others. My father was a wonderful man.

This also shows that he is really good to others and valuable to others, otherwise others would not please him like this.

Sometimes think about it. Her daughter is not even as good as an outsider.

Thinking of these again, Qi Miao's heart was no longer so sad.

After listening to them praise their father, Qi Miao asked about their injuries again.

The room they lived in was two rooms away from the room where the fire was located, and they fled quickly. There were almost no injuries.

Only one guy ran out later. Suddenly found that the money bag had fallen in the house, and despite the dissuasion of the Bai patriarch, he stubbornly ran in to get the money bag.

When I came out with the money bag, the fire had already spread, my eyebrows were gone, and my hands were burned from protecting my head and face, but fortunately the injuries were not serious.

After a few days of treatment, the blisters have almost disappeared. There was only some mild pain.

However, because of this incident, the three elders of the Bai family did not scold him.

"This stinky boy wants money and doesn't want to die. Fortunately, nothing big happened this time, otherwise how would I explain to your mother when I go back. Recalling the scene of that day, Patriarch Bai still couldn't help but scold the young man.

Puzzled, he smoked the young man twice with the cigarette stick in his hand.

The young man was scolded so much that he didn't dare to squeak, and his head hung low.

His arm was beaten a little painfully, but he also knew that Patriarch Bai cared about him.

Qi Miao persuaded two sentences, and gave a small bottle of burn medicine to the young man.

After a few words of greeting, Qi Miao asked Patriarch Bai, "Patriarch, how did the fire get up that night?" ”

Patriarch Bai shook his head, "Don't hide it from Fifth Miss, the old man is still wondering to this day, how did this good thing catch fire, and it also burned the Yao family's mother and daughter." ”

"Hmph, that mother and daughter are vicious, they are innocent of death, and they are not wronged at all." Uncle Bai scolded hatefully.

The death of Bailian's mother and daughter is a matter of concern for him.

Otherwise, after returning to Yunzhou, he was known about the ugly things Yao had done, and his old face would be dull.

Elder Bai also agreed, saying that Bai Lian's mother and daughter deserved to die.

For the White Lotus mother and daughter, they hate from the bottom of their hearts.

One cuckolded the Bai family, and the other was a wild seed who lived for thirteen years with the surname of the Bai family, and the Bai family was insulted by them for thirteen years without knowing it.

What's more, Bai Lian almost killed Qi Zhengzhi, the biggest benefactor of the Bai clan.

How could they not hate her.

Qi Miao didn't answer.

After their emotions calmed down, they asked, "On the way from the capital to Yunzhou Mansion, what abnormal behavior did the two of them have?" ”

"It's very peaceful all the way, the mother and daughter pull their faces every day and don't speak, but they eat when they should eat, drink when they should drink, nothing abnormal." Uncle Bai should be.

Qi Miao bowed her head slightly.

To know if their mother and daughter have any abnormal behavior, let's ask the mother-in-law, they are together for twelve hours a day, and they should know better.

So, she exchanged a few more pleasantries, and told them to recuperate, and then went to see the four mothers-in-law.

Because one of the mother-in-law was seriously injured, the other three accompanied her, and they all lived in the hospital under the jurisdiction of the government.

"Miss Five." Seeing Qi Miao, the mothers-in-law were surprised.

"When I learned that something had happened to you, my mother couldn't leave by herself, so she quickly ordered me to come and visit the mothers and take them home." Qi Miao explained the meaning.

Eyes swept slightly.

She immediately found out that the mother-in-law's injuries were much more serious than those of the Bai family.

Except for the most seriously injured, the other three were more or less injured, all of them had dark faces, probably stained by the blazing fire, and looked very embarrassed.

The mother-in-law suddenly burst into tears, except for the mother-in-law lying on the bed, the other three knelt down in front of Qi Miao, and said gratefully, "The slaves and maids are ashamed of their wife's trust, it snows so heavily, and Miss Lao wants to come in person, the slaves and maids are really damned......

"Mothers are serious, you are doing things on your mother's orders. It's up to us to say that you are suffering. Qi Miaoyi helped them up one by one.

Finally, she took a closer look at the seriously injured mother-in-law.

The mother-in-law's face was wrapped in thick gauze, and only her eyes and lips were exposed.

Swollen lips. His hair was scorched and broken, and his hands were wrapped in white cloth.

Her lips twitched slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but unfortunately she couldn't make a sound.

"Mom, don't worry, it's okay." Qi Miao was busy comforting.

She examined her mother-in-law, then took the pill for her to take, and gave the porcelain bottle of medicine for scalding to the other mothers-in-law. Let them smear their wounds.

After a busy time, the mothers-in-law were grateful again.

Qi Miao called the three lightly injured mothers-in-law to one place and asked them. "Along the way, how did the Yao family and Bai Lian perform?"

Huang Pozi, the eldest of them, replied, "After the third master and his wife were generous and merciful to the white lotus that day, we left the capital. The white lotus has a lot of thorns on her face and hands. Yao pulled it for her.

But the thorn was stuck in the flesh, where could it be pulled out, so the Yao family asked us to take Bailian to see Langzhong. Don't hide it from Miss Five, if Bai Lian did that kind of vicious thing, the slaves and maids would not sympathize with her, so they didn't agree.

The girl of Bailian was really ruthless, she was free and didn't say a word until the end. When she was uncomfortable, she bit a handkerchief in her mouth. Then the handkerchief was stained with blood.

Along the way, the slaves and maids kept a close eye on them. Yao tried to escape twice, but was discovered by the slaves.

……

After a few days, we arrived in Chenzhou, and rested at the inn at night, where the white lotus was pricked and swollen, and looked extremely ugly.

Bai Lian didn't even eat dinner, so she lay on the bed and rested alone, still biting the handkerchief in her mouth, Yao stepped forward to talk to her, and didn't say anything, mainly some words of concern, but Bai Lian suddenly got angry.

She threw her handkerchief and quarreled with Yao, almost using her fists and feet, and the slaves stepped forward and pulled away.

Afraid that they would run away, the four slaves and maids took turns to watch them at night, and the three slaves and maids waited for the white lotus mother and daughter to fall asleep, and they all rested, only Mrs. Ding was on duty at night.

Mrs. Ding was originally on duty for the third watch, and the slaves and maids were sleeping soundly, when they suddenly heard Mrs. Ding shouting miserably inside, 'Walking water', the slaves and maids opened their eyes and saw that the inner room was on fire, and the smoke was coming out of the crack in the door.

The slaves and maidservants were frightened, so they instinctively fled out.

After escaping, I remembered that Mrs. Ding was still inside, and there was no way, so the slaves covered their heads and faces with watered quilts, rushed in and rescued Mrs. Ding......"

"The Bai family didn't help?" Qi Miao asked.

"No, the Bai family was very lucky, after hearing the help of the slaves and maids, they approached the door and quickly escaped.

Later, when they learned that Mrs. Ding was still inside, the Bai family was silent......" Mrs. Huang shook her head and explained the reason.

Although it was understandable that the Bai family would not save people in that critical situation, Qi Miao still felt that they were too cold.

Her impression of the Bai family couldn't help but be a little worse.

"Then when you went in to save Mrs. Ding, did you see Mother and Daughter Bailian?" Qi Miao asked.

This is the key point of the event.

If they were still in the room when the fire was raging, there was a great possibility of death, and if they weren't, then the cause of the fire would have been explained.

Mrs. Huang shook her head, and the other two mothers-in-law also shook their heads.

Mrs. Huang said, "At that time, the slaves were first aiding Mrs. Ding, and I really didn't pay attention to whether they were in the room. ”

Another mother-in-law chimed in, "That's right, at that time, I was only thinking about saving Mrs. Ding, and I didn't think of the mother and daughter." However, when the slaves and maidservants entered, they did not hear their cries for help. ”

"Yao's voice is also missing?" Qi Miao asked again and again.

According to Bailian's state at that time, there should be a desire to die.

If she wants to die, it is not impossible for her to grit her teeth and remain silent......

But not necessarily with Yao.

Since she wanted to escape twice, it shows that she has a strong desire to survive, and in the face of such danger, she will definitely call for help or save herself, and will not sit still.

"I didn't hear you." Mrs. Huang replied affirmatively, "The slave suspects that they have been burned to death at that time......"

Qi Miao does not deny that this is possible.

She asked, "How did the fire start?" ”

Mrs. Huang shook her head, "There is no candle flame, no charcoal basin, and the slave maid doesn't know how to catch fire, so I have to ask Mrs. Ding about this."

It's a pity that since the accident, Mrs. Ding has not been able to speak, so there are many things that the slaves and maids don't know very well. ”

She asked for some more details, but there were no useful clues.

What the mothers-in-law said is basically consistent with the information provided by Ji Mo.

If you want to know the exact inside story, you can only wait for Mrs. Ding to wake up.

Qi Miao and Shijin went to the government office again, and asked the officials who handled the case, and their answers were basically the words of the mothers-in-law, and it can be seen that they did not find any useful clues.

Since there were no clues to be found here, after Qi Miao discussed with Qin Si, he decided to go back to the capital first before making plans.

Because there were four more mothers-in-law on the return trip, and one of them was seriously injured, Qi Miao asked Baosheng and Chun'er to hire three carriages.

Qi Miao originally wanted her mother-in-law to heal from her injuries and then go home alone, but after thinking about it carefully, she didn't feel at ease after all, so she still took them back to her heart with her.

After everything was ready, Qi Miao went to bid farewell to the three elders of the Bai family.

When she was about to leave the house, the Shen family gave Qi Miao silver and gave it to the three elders of the Bai family for shock after she came.

She didn't object at the time.

But after listening to Mrs. Huang's words, she wanted to give them the silver.

Anyway, when she left Beijing, her mother had already given a lot of silver, not to mention that there was still business to take care of them in Yunzhou, and she was already extremely kind to them.

But when the mother-in-law was in distress, they treated them indifferently.

They came to save their mothers-in-law, not the mother-in-law's face, but their mother's.

Because the mother-in-law was sent by the mother, and they were the trustworthy and powerful people around the mother.

But they didn't make a move.

When Qi Miao resigned, he just said a few words, and then left.

The three elders of the Bai family felt the coldness of her attitude, and they were like two people when they visited before.

"The fifth young lady suddenly changed her face, it must be that the mothers-in-law chewed some nonsense in front of her."

"Well, it makes sense, according to Mrs. Qi's generous character, she must have asked Miss Fifth to bring us silver, but she didn't give it, indicating that she was annoying us in her heart."

"This girl is harder than her father's heart, not a good stubble."

The three elders of the Bai family whispered in private, sighing that they had missed the silver.

Originally, they rode for a few hours, but they traveled for five days.

By the time I returned to the capital, the snow had completely melted.

Qi Miao was in a hurry to go home, but Mrs. Ding was seriously injured, and the carriage didn't dare to go too fast.

Luo Ziqing enjoyed it, and he hoped that the more difficult the road was, the better, so that he could get along with Qi Miaoduoduo.

He sent Qi Miao to the door of the Marquis of Anning's mansion before reluctantly leaving.

The Shen family knew that Qi Miao would come back today, so he stayed at the gate early.

As soon as the carriage stopped, Shen ran over and shouted, "Miao'er." ”

Qi Miao got out of the middle carriage and threw herself into her mother's arms with her arms outstretched.

"Mother, I miss you so much." Qi Miao smelled the familiar smell on her mother's body, and her eyes moistened.

Since Yan Guan came back, this is the first time that he has been away from his mother for nearly ten days.

"Mother also remembers you." Shen's tears rolled out directly.

The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried.

In just seven days, it was like a year in Shen's heart.

Then Shen looked Qi Miao up and down again, and saw that she was safe and sound, so he put his heart back in his stomach.

Shen went to see Mrs. Ding, said some comforting words, and the group entered the house.

Qi Miao first went back to Biyue Pavilion to bathe and change clothes, and Bao Sheng and Chun'er followed Shen back to Begonia Garden.

Shen specially summoned the two of them to the east and asked if they had encountered any difficulties during this trip.

She was worried that her daughter had been wronged outside, and she was afraid that she would be worried, so she didn't tell her.

Bao Sheng and Chun'er glanced at each other.

They were wondering if they should tell the truth. (To be continued......)
