Lu Qingrong was instantly shocked and speechless.

She didn't expect that Qiu Muyun's son He Lan, who was just a three-year-old child, would be so deceitful.

I never thought that Brother Xu would hold this matter in his heart for so long.

"Have you ever mentioned this to your mother?" Lu Qingrong said worriedly.

"Nope." Brother Xu shook his head, and a small face revealed in the lake-colored cloak showed a kind of forbearance that was extremely inconsistent with his age, and seemed to be mixed with unusual perseverance, "Those foul words, when I hear them, they are not true, I naturally will not talk to my mother, which will make her more troubled." ”

Lu Qingrong was deeply moved.

Brother Xu is so young, it is really rare to have such insight and thoughts.

You know, although she was extremely sensible when she was a child, it was because she was an adult who came through time, not a real child.

Lu Qingrong looked at Brother Xu'er's gaze and unconsciously made some changes.

Putting away the previous appearance of coaxing a child, Lu Qingrong looked at the stubborn eyes seriously, and said: "Brother Xu'er can think about his mother, it's really rare, so can you tell the fourth sister, why do you want to tell me the truth now?" ”

This is Lu Qingrong's only question at the moment.

And she didn't criticize Brother Xu'er too harshly for beating people.

Thinking about it, Lu Qingrong must admit that even if it was when she was a child, if she encountered this kind of thing, there was a great possibility that she would directly greet her fist.

"A few days ago, I read a sentence from a book, the ancients said, 'Words are not true, and sin is also', which means to sue the world, and you can't speak lightly, that is also a sin." Brother Xu paused, as if reminiscing, "I didn't apologize that day, but I didn't say that I didn't do it......"

Lu Qingrong frowned, and also recalled for a while, and finally remembered that everyone concluded that He Lan did it first, all because of the conclusive proof of the emperor's eldest grandson.

"You mean, the emperor's eldest grandson was wrong at the time?" Lu Qingrong asked with doubts.

"It's not a mistake." Brother Xu's tone was extremely affirmative, "He didn't see it at all." ”

"Didn't see that?" Lu Qingrong was so surprised that he couldn't do more.

Brother Xu pursed his lips, nodded vigorously, and said: "At first, I thought that He Lan was separated from his family, and he paid special attention to the people around him, but I happened to see that the emperor's eldest grandson had already walked to the door of the backyard and went out the moment. ”

"So when this happened later, the emperor's eldest grandson was no longer in the backyard at all?" Lu Qingrong was even more suspicious.

"Yes." Brother Xu continued to nod.

Lu Qingrong's heart was a little confused, and the words of the emperor's eldest grandson Yizheng kept flashing in his mind......

"Brother Xu can tell the truth, the fourth sister is very proud of you, in the future, you just need to remember that fists can't solve the root of the problem, many things, you still have to use more brains, can outwit, it's better than brute force."

Lu Qingrong felt that this beating must not be advocated, so he casually instructed a few words.

However, at this time, she was already a little absent-minded.

"I remember." Brother Xu Yan swore a small face and said, "The eldest brother also said that a gentleman doesn't move his mouth!" ”

Lu Qingrong heard him mention Lu Chengjie, and hurriedly asked, "Have you ever told others about this matter?" ”

"Nope. I never mentioned it to anyone. At the beginning, the He family gave an apology, and the sister-in-law explained it in front of her mother. ”

Only then did Lu Qingrong put his mind at ease and instructed: "Since the matter has passed, let's not mention it again in the future." It's like Brother Xu, it's wrong for you to hit someone, but in fact there are reasons that others don't know, and for the emperor's eldest grandson, it is probably the same, although it is wrong for him to lie, Xu also has his own difficulties or misunderstandings. ”

Brother Xu'er's round eyes blinked and blinked, as if he didn't fully understand Lu Qingrong's words, but in the end, he still nodded and agreed.

After that, the two siblings wandered around the courtyard at will, and Brother Xu talked about the books he had read recently, and finally regained his former liveliness.

After all, he is just a child, and when he speaks the words that have been pressed in his heart for many days, he immediately leaves them behind and no longer cares.

But Lu Qingrong had a hard time doing it.

She was always a little puzzled, she didn't think she had much intersection with the East Palace, why did the emperor's eldest grandson lie so seriously and stand up for them?

Did Brother Xu read it wrong? Or is there really some reason that no one knows?

Lu Qingrong couldn't think of a reason for a while.

In the evening, Lu Qingrong and Jiang Xuan came out of the Lu Mansion and boarded the carriage, and she immediately told Jiang Xuan about these things.

When they accidentally encountered the crown princess and the eldest grandson in the backyard of Guangyin Temple, she had already mentioned it to Jiang Xuan in detail.

Now that things have taken a turn for the worse, she feels it is necessary to let Jiang Xuan know.

Jiang Xuan listened, pondered for a moment, looked like he didn't intend to delve into it, and only said casually: "People's hearts are unpredictable, let's not think about it so complicated, maybe it is the emperor's eldest grandson who fell in love with you and wanted to help you!" ”

Lu Qingrong smiled, knowing in his heart that this possibility was too small.

But what she understands better is that Jiang Xuan listened to this matter in her heart, and she was not as dismissive as she seemed on the surface, and that was enough.

Lu Qingrong then remembered that she had this matter in her heart today, and she had planned to leave and return home a long time ago, but Jiang Xuan had been staying in Lu Yiduo's study and not coming out.

"You're playing chess with your father again today?"

"No, I'm talking about something about the Ministry of War."

When Lu Qingrong heard this, he immediately silenced and stopped asking.

Jiang Xuan did not shy away from it at all, and said directly: "The military department is going to hand over Sato, and my father has thought about it thoroughly, and he was afraid that something would go wrong in this matter, so he asked me something about Sato. ”

"Isn't it going to let him go?" Lu Qingrong was surprised.

"Of course not!" Jiang Xuan smiled, "The emperor has ordered that on the first day of the first month of the next month, he will be beheaded in the Shenwu Gate and passed on the nine sides. ”

"Passing the head of the nine sides!" Lu Qingrong suddenly trembled.

For her, it was unimaginable.

Sent someone to take the severed head and go to various border points in Daqi to show the public, that picture, no matter how you think about it, it feels a little bloody.

But it is undeniable that it was General Fanmeng, who had disturbed the border of Daqi for many years, and for the border guards, what could be more morale-boosting than his head!

When Lu Qingrong came back to his senses, he remembered and asked, "If you want to be beheaded in a month, why do you have to hand it over?" To whom? ”

"Transferred to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment." Jiang Xuan explained: "The emperor attaches great importance to the ceremony of beheading prisoners of war in Shenwumen, and in order to ensure that Sato must not suffer any accidents within this month, he plans to transfer him to the Criminal Department for detention. ”R1152
