On that day, Jiang Shenzhi and Master Lang Di of the Criminal Department both sent people to the Lu Mansion to deliver the news.

said that Lu Yiduo's case has made progress.

It has been found that a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy is the person who leaked the question, and this person is also one of the examiners who was escorted to the Criminal Department with Lu Yiduo this time.

Although he can't leave the Criminal Department for the time being, Lu Yiduo has finally become a justifiable "assistant in the investigation", and is no longer the object of thorough investigation.

In addition to the two people who sent someone to deliver the letter, Yin Qinghua immediately took leave as soon as he got the news and came to the Lu Mansion in person.

At that time, Lu Qingrong happened to be with Yin Pingru, so he went to see Yin Qinghua together.

After listening to him say it in person, the mother and daughter became more down-to-earth.

"It's been found out!" Yin Pingru sighed softly.

"Where did you find out, it was the examiner who pleaded guilty himself!" Yin Qinghua added.

Confess your sins?

Lu Qingrong couldn't understand in his heart, once convicted of fraud in the science field, it would basically be difficult to live, how could anyone confess his guilt......

Yin Pingru is also worried: "Then there won't be any recurrence of this matter, right?" ”

"Probably not." Yin Qinghua is very sure, "Although he confessed to his own crime, there were no flaws in the process of stealing the questions he confessed later, and the whereabouts of the leaked questions he confessed were also very consistent with the person who sold the exam questions caught by An Lehou." Therefore, the possibility of condemnation is basically ruled out. ”

Yin Pingru was very relieved when she heard this.

But Lu Qingrong felt that it was not so safe, and when she saw that there were only her mother and uncle in the house at this time, she also opened her mouth: "It's not the guilt, then it's not necessarily the mastermind, right?" Will it implicate others again? ”

"Qingrong is really amazing now!" Yin Qinghua didn't expect her to think of this, "But don't worry, that Hanlin and your father don't have anything to do with each other on weekdays, and they haven't even met before the examiner enters the venue this time, so they can't involve him anyway." ”

For some reason, Lu Qingrong always felt that this person was definitely not the mastermind.

Especially when I remembered that Lu Yiduo returned to Lu Mansion before the entrance examination, Qiu Yongan's door-to-door visit......

"My father didn't have anything to do with him, but what about the others?" Lu Qingrong still asked.

"This ......" Yin Qinghua didn't know how to answer for a while, his face looked a little hesitant, "Among the examiners this time, I heard that he has the closest relationship with Lord Qiu, the deputy chief examiner, but Lord Qiu was ruled out of suspicion early on...... What's more, there is no evidence that he has anything to do with it, after all, that Hanlin has already stopped all the blame on himself. ”

If that Hanlin casually brought out someone for self-protection, Lu Qingrong felt that it was more reasonable, this was actually a big package, and it was difficult for people not to doubt it.

Seeing that Lu Qingrong no longer asked, Yin Qinghua continued: "You don't need to worry too much, the emperor originally ordered that the results should be found out within a month, and now the deadline is approaching, and I think the case will be closed soon, and your father will be able to come back at that time." ”

January period.

That's when she was about to get married.

This is really consistent with the statement of the Marquis of Jingyuan.

Unexpectedly, the case personally assigned by the emperor eventually became a tool for them to disobey and rob while the fire was hot.

However, thinking that his father could finally come back safe and sound, Lu Qingrong was still relieved in his heart.

looked at Yin Qinghua again, and found that he no longer looked at himself at this time, but looked at Yin Pingru, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped.

Yin Pingru reacted quickly when she saw this, and said to Lu Qingrong: "You go back first, and by the way, tell Sister Qian'er about this, I see that she has been in a hurry recently, and she has lost a lot of weight." ”

Lu Qingrong nodded yes, and then walked out.

What does my uncle have to say to my mother alone?

Could it be that there is something to say about what happened just now?

Out of concern for his father, Lu Qingrong stopped as soon as he went out, and hesitated a little.

At this moment, Yin Qinghua's voice was already heard in the house.

"Recently, has He Kai been to Lu Mansion?"

Yin Pingru guessed that he had something to say, but he didn't expect it to be this matter.

"I came here once, and it was the day when the Marquis of Jingyuan's Mansion sent the dowry." Yin Pingru said honestly, "I didn't see him. Later, I heard that he went to find the second uncle again, and I don't know what he said, but the second uncle didn't mention it, so naturally I wouldn't ask. ”

Yin Qinghua relieved himself and nodded: "You did the right thing." If he comes back in the future, you don't have to pay attention to him. ”

He Kai actually came to Lu Mansion.

When Lu Qingrong outside the door heard this, he really couldn't think of a reason, so he didn't move his steps again.

"How did Big Brother know?" Yin Pingru asked puzzled.

"He went to me the other day." Yin Qinghua was a little helpless, "When I came the first time, I was directly driven away by your sister-in-law's orders, and the second time I was just in time for my Xiu Mu, I met him." ”

"What the hell is he trying to do?" Yin Pingru couldn't help but be a little irritable.

"I said that I haven't seen Qingrong for so many years, and I want you to give them a chance to reunite their father and daughter......"

After Yin Qinghua said, his voice became a little inaudible, and he raised his eyes from time to time to observe Yin Pingru's reaction.

Yin Pingru didn't see anger when she heard this, but was silent for a long time.

"It turned out to be for this. You didn't promise him, did you? ”

"Of course not! The previous ...... It is clearly written, Qingrong will have nothing to do with their He family in the future, and it is a shame that he can say it now. Yin Qinghua was even more angry, "I mentioned this to you to make you prepared, after all, he has such a mind, maybe there will be something else in the future...... Qingrong was still too young at that time to know much about the events of that year, so don't be deceived by his rhetoric. ”

"Hmm." Yin Pingru replied softly.

And Lu Qingrong, who had been standing outside the door, heard this, and left without looking back, and went to the Wisteria Pavilion.

More than ten years have passed, since he reconciled with Yin Pingru, He Kai has never seen her in the future, how did she suddenly remember to "reunite father and daughter" when she was about to get married?

If she didn't want to marry the Marquis of Jingyuan, but just an ordinary official eunuch, would he still be so concerned?

The answer is simply self-evident.

Lu Qingrong was suddenly a little curious, if he really saw him, what would he say?

Is it to rely on the so-called flesh and blood family affection to play the emotional card, or simply distort the facts to find a high-sounding reason for what was done back then?

Thinking of this, the corners of Lu Qingrong's mouth inadvertently showed a mocking smile.

In either case, he can only make himself more and more contemptuous of him.

Lu Qingrong returned to the Wisteria Pavilion in this state of being unable to control his thoughts.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Lu Qianyu and Jiang Yunpei sitting in the hall.

"Didn't my mother tell you to measure the size of the wedding dress, why did it take so long?" As soon as Lu Qianyu saw her, she stood up and asked.

"Just in time for my uncle to come." Lu Qingrong sat directly opposite, did not shy away from Jiang Yunpei, and told Lu Qianyu the news brought by Yin Qinghua.

After hearing this, Lu Qianyu really showed a long-lost smile: "So my father will be able to come back soon?" ”

"Yes, according to the month period, my father is in my ...... Before getting married, you will definitely be able to come back. Lu Qingrong affirmed.

Hearing the word "marriage", Lu Qianyu, who was originally smiling, suddenly had a melancholy look.

Lu Qingrong also noticed the change in her face, afraid that she would say something sensational, so he hurriedly turned his head to look at Jiang Yunpei, thinking about changing the topic.

"Why did Sister Jiang come over today?"

"I thought you wouldn't have to learn the rules this afternoon, so I'll come and sit down for a while." Jiang Yunpei followed her words, "You just sat down, and you came back." ”

Lu Qingrong saw that the expression on Lu Qianyu's face had not changed, and continued to think about what to say to attract her attention.

"Sister Jiang, has there been any news of your eldest brother recently?"

When Jiang Yunpei heard this, he took out a letter directly from his sleeve: "The letter from the eldest brother just came today, saying that he has arrived at Shanhaiguan. ”

Lu Qianyu was really interested in this topic.

"So soon to Shanhaiguan?" Lu Qianyu opened her mouth and asked, "Then is it out of the customs now?" ”

"It's not far from the capital, so it's slow. It's not out yet, and it says it's going to hover there for a few days. ”

"Then what else did Brother Jiang say in the letter?" Lu Qianyu was embarrassed to read the letter, but continued to ask Jiang Yunpei.

"There weren't a few words in total." Jiang Yunpei took out the letter paper and shook it, but it was true that he didn't even fill a page, "By the way, I said that I saw the sea over there." ”

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Lu Qingrong as if unintentionally, with a meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth.

Lu Qingrong was a little puzzled, and Lu Qianyu had already begun to sigh: "The sea! I haven't seen it yet. I used to go to Kaifeng and Wuchang with my father, but there was no sea. I have heard that the sea is much bigger than the wind and waves of the lake, and it is boundless, but how can there be anything in this world that is boundless, and what is it like? ”

"Yes. I've read in books that the sea is boundless, but I haven't seen it with my own eyes. Jiang Yunpei discussed with her very seriously.

For a long time after that, Lu Qingrong listened to them talk about the appearance of the sea in their minds.

Sun, sand, waves...... It's been a long time since I've seen the sea.

Lu Qingrong gradually fell into some memories of his previous life...... In the end, it was Jiang Yunpei who called her and brought her back to her senses.

"Qingrong, last time you promised to help me find a book, but you found it?"

Lu Qingrong suddenly remembered the ancient score she was looking for last time, and slapped her head: "I actually forgot, I'll find it for you right away!" ”

"I'll look for it with you!" Jiang Yunpei said with a smile.

Lu Qianyu, who was on the side, heard the thing "book", and immediately lost interest: "You guys look for it, I'll go up first." ”

Looking at the back of Lu Qianyu hurriedly going upstairs, Lu Qingrong and Jiang Yunpei were expected.

And Lu Qingrong was just about to rummage through the bookshelf, but Jiang Yunpei grabbed his arm.

I saw Jiang Yunpei take out an envelope smaller than the one just now from the other sleeve: "This is a letter from my eldest brother to you." ”

"Huh? Am I a part too? Lu Qingrong couldn't hide his surprise.

"This is the one that was sandwiched into the letter to me," Jiang Yunpei said, and handed the letter to Lu Qingrong.

Lu Qingrong stretched out her hand to take it, she was a little at a loss, she really didn't know what Jiang Ling could write in the letter to her, and she couldn't help but feel apprehensive in her heart.

At this time, in front of Jiang Yunpei, he suddenly felt that it was not demolished, and it was not demolished. RS
