"This time, I didn't take the official road, I took the shortcut path that I picked up, and I didn't bring many people, so I saved half of the time."

"That's dangerous." Jiang Ying said with a frown.

This chaotic situation in the world has created too many homeless bandits who are not afraid of death, even the official road is not absolutely safe, and the caravan dares to intercept it, let alone the most suitable shortcut for them to start.

"Although I bring few people, you can't treat them as vegetarians? Those bandits are always bullies, so if I don't trouble them, will they dare to come to me?" Jianglang Road.

This is naturally a good thing to say to Jiang Ying.

In fact, their journey is not peaceful, but fortunately, they are all in danger, so there is no need to say it to worry my sister.

"Speaking of which, I haven't had time to settle accounts with you yet." Jiang Lang poked her smooth and white forehead, put a smile on his face, and said angrily: "For such a big thing as a marriage, you didn't even say hello to me?" As a brother with me, I don't even have the qualifications to say a word here? If I hadn't rushed quickly this time, I was really afraid that by the time I entered Beijing, you would have already entered the door of the Jin family! Listen to him in everything, do you still have a little bit of your own thoughts? ”

"Where is it...... Jiang Ying touched her forehead and explained: "At that time, the incident happened suddenly, and there was no time to send the message, if it was just an ordinary discussion, I would have asked you in advance-"

Ahem, she really seems to listen to Brother Jin in everything?

But she didn't think there was anything wrong with that.

Being able to trust and rely on someone wholeheartedly is a blessing that is hard to come by.

Of course. In this case, she didn't dare to say it to Jiang Lang, for fear that she would be beaten.

Jiang Lang raised his eyebrows and asked, "According to what you said, do you blame me for being too unreasonable?" ”

Jiang Ying just laughed when she heard this, and told him the situation of 'drawing salary from the bottom of the kettle' at that time.

In fact, these Jin Qi had already stated in the letter that the reason why Jiang Lang was angry was just that he was holding a sulk in his heart, if he was really angry, he was also angry with Jin Qi. It's not your own sister.

Now I saw her explain to herself with a serious face. The sense of importance that I should receive as an elder brother immediately returned, and naturally, my attitude relaxed.

At the end, he solemnly demanded: "The date of marriage must be agreed with me." Even if there is a big reason, it's not easy to make it - you'll have to remember it for me. ”

Jiang Ying coughed. "That's natural...... It's just that things are not settled at the moment. It's a little early to talk about this. ”

"Sooner or later, you have to consult with me." Jiang Lang reiterated again and again that he wanted to firmly hold the power that belonged to his brother in his hands.

Jiang Ying smiled. Full of promises.

Jiang Lang, who was finally satisfied, asked about Jin.

"Didn't he go to Ruan Ping's side? There were other things that he had to deal with personally, and as soon as he was married, he disappeared. ”

Last night, if he hadn't arrived in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

At this time, his fiancé didn't know where to go.

Jiang Lang didn't know that Jin Qi went out to find medicine for Jiang Ying, and he didn't know that he had told Fu Ping to pay close attention to Jiang Ying's situation before leaving, and naturally he didn't know that the so-called Ding Chengjun who entered the palace to rescue the driver last night was also his handiwork.

Jiang Ying silently shouted a grievance for Brother Jin, for fear that Jiang Lang would misunderstand him too much and overturn the hard-won recognition, so he explained half-truthfully: "My body is a little deficient, not long ago a famous doctor said that you must cooperate with a rare miracle medicine to cure the disease." The reason why Brother Jin left Beijing was to take someone to find medicine for me. ”

"Really?"

"Of course......"

Jiang Lang didn't know the slightest medical theory, and he didn't know that the physical deficit could only be slowly recovered by long-term recuperation, but seeing that Jiang Ying was indeed much thinner than when he was in the northwest, he only cared about feeling distressed for a while, and felt a little guilty that he only knew how to 'ask her about the crime' when he came up, and he didn't even bother to say two words of concern, and he no longer paid attention to Jin Qi's body for a while.

Instead, he asked about Jiang Ying's various conditions after he returned to Xiling.

Jiang Ying answered one by one, but only hid the part about her true physical condition.

There's really no need to make more people scared.

Jiang Ying also asked him about his current situation.

"Everything is fine in Xiling, my father-in-law and mother-in-law regard me as their own, and the situation is quite stable. By the way, when I came back this time, my father-in-law and mother-in-law also specially prepared a gift, so that I could bring it to you - after lunch, I will have someone bring it for you. Jiang Lang replied lightly.

Jiang Ying was rarely sober, so she didn't get bypassed by him, and blinked her eyes and asked, "I'm asking you about Dongzhu." ”

"......" Jiang Lang smiled, as if he was a little uncomfortable, but he also replied: "It's also good." ”

"Do you have any plans to get married?" Jiang Ying asked further.

Since her illness, she felt like she was starting to get worried.

"I don't plan to ...... this for the time being" was asked by her, Jiang Lang didn't feel a little uncomfortable, and only replied truthfully: "My father-in-law is in his heyday." At this time, I talked about marriage with Dongzhu, which was a little early. On the side of Xiling Kingdom, women generally have to be at least twenty years old to get married, and Dongzhu is a princess, so there is no need to worry. ”

Jiang Ying nodded when she heard this.

Then I hope she will have the opportunity to see that day with her own eyes.

Jiang Lang didn't know what she was thinking, so he smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about my affairs, you just take care of your body." ”

Jiang Ying put away the little heaviness in her heart, nodded with a smile, and talked to him about other things.

The brother and sister talked a lot of common things, and finally Jiang Lang suddenly asked as if he suddenly remembered something: "By the way, I heard that you entered the palace last night to attend the queen's birthday banquet?" ”

Jiang Ying nodded, and seeing that his expression was a little confused, she asked him what was wrong.

"Are you very familiar with this queen lady?" He asked again.

"She announced that I had entered the palace several times as a companion, and she treated me very well. So it's still familiar. ”

Jiang Lang paused, and then asked, "...... So what was her identity before entering the palace? Can you have any contact with our family? ”

Jiang Ying shook her head and said, "I don't know my identity before entering the palace, but I definitely won't be born in an ordinary family." I think that our family has been doing business for generations before, so there should be no intersection with these eunuchs, right? Speaking of this, he asked with a strange face: "Why did my brother suddenly ask about the queen's mother?" ”

"After you fell into a coma last night, when I took you out of Weiyang Palace, I happened to meet the queen mother who was injured by explosives in Jinluan Palace and was helped back to Weiyang Palace by the palace people for treatment. At that time, she was very seriously injured, and when she saw you in a coma, she did not forget to care carefully. After making sure you're okay. was helped back to Weiyang Palace by the palace maid. ”

Jiang Lang paused when he said this. Then he continued: "I saw that she cared about you abnormally, and I felt that she was similar to her, so I asked you if it was an old friend I had known before." ”

Jiang Ying looked at him in surprise. "This shouldn't be...... I haven't heard the queen mother mention any dealings with our Jiang family. ”

Jiang Lang saw her expression. Can't help but laugh. Shicai said disapprerovingly: "Then maybe I'm dazzled."

Strangely, he felt déjà vu.

If I have seen it, it seems that there are more than one or two times.

But think again. But I can't remember where I saw it.

It's weird......

……

In the mansion of the Jin Kingdom, white silk is hung everywhere, and it is a miserable white and solemn color.

The lanterns hanging under the corner porch of various colors have also been replaced with bamboo bone long lamps made of white paper.

Even the clothes of the maids are all gray and white, and they are pure and silent.

Jin Qingyun sat on the Luohan bed in the study as usual, but he no longer had the spirit of the past.

In recent days, a series of huge blows have made his originally gray hair turn white overnight, and the whole person suddenly aged and did not look good.

Xie stood to the side, bowing his head and being silent.

"You noticed it early in the morning." Jin Qingyun spoke, and his voice was no longer sonorous or cold and awe-inspiring, but a kind of almost powerless flatness.

Xie Shi didn't say anything, and he said again: "You are smart." ”

After a while, he said self-deprecatingly: "Sober than me." ”

Xie still didn't dare to answer.

"I know how to judge the situation and weigh the pros and cons...... Even his husband is a monster, and he is still so calmly maneuvering left and right, planning for himself. Jin Qingyun said with a blank look in his eyes, "You are all really amazing, any one of them, you eat people and don't spit out bones." ”

Xie threw himself on his knees.

"Father." She lowered her head and choked up: "You have been wise all your life, and your daughter-in-law knows that she can't hide those thoughts from you after all, but her daughter-in-law has never had the idea of betraying or damaging the Jin family...... Although the daughter-in-law has selfish intentions, in the end, it is just to seek a glimmer of life, so that the two girls can live well. ”

Her husband-kun is indeed a complete monster, so she has to think about her two children.

"You're not wrong." Jin Qingyun's tone was still bland, "If it weren't for your vigilance, I'm afraid I wouldn't have the life to tell you this now." ”

From the day he became suspicious, his good son had his diet poisoned, and a very small dose was given every day, and even he himself only blamed the deterioration of his body as a knot in his heart.

He never imagined that the son he had raised would want his life.

There's probably nothing more chilling in the world.

But when he talks about it now, he can't even perceive the cold feeling.

From the inside out, there is nothing left but numbness.

"How does Duke Jin want to deal with his daughter-in-law, his daughter-in-law has no complaints, I just hope that Duke Jin will not implicate Sister Lian and ......Sister Wei for the sake of blood inheritance," Xie knelt there, burying his head lower and lower.

She knew that this old man was the most taboo and deceitful.

She touched the truth early in the morning, but because of selfishness, she had to hide it.

After many trade-offs, I made the decision with the determination to give it a go.

If Jin Yuming succeeds in the end, she will definitely die without a place to be buried.

But if you can stop him, there may be a glimmer of life.

The people of the Jin family are not simple. But she is just struggling to survive in the cracks, watching left and right, in order to protect herself.

"I just said that there is nothing wrong with you." Jin Qingyun's gaze did not fall, and his tone became lighter and lighter, as if in a dream: "...... As a parent, I'm nowhere near as good as you. ”

Xie's body stiffened slightly.

"There's a lot of work to deal with next, and you can't be left in this house. Go down. ”

After a long time, Xie Shi Fang answered: "Yes."

After getting up, he bowed deeply to Jin Qingyun.

When he turned around to leave, he heard Jin Qingyun suddenly ask, "What did you hear from the Gu family......

What the?

Xie was stunned.

It took a while to realize what he meant.

Is she asking what truth she learned from her mother-in-law, who is already demented?

"How the hell did he get there......" he asked again.

Hsieh's face was complicated.

When he opened his mouth to speak, he heard Jin Qingyun say: "There is no need to say it...... There you go. ”

He didn't dare to listen.

I didn't expect him to be fearless all his life, but when he was approaching his death, he suddenly became so timid.

After Xie Shi was silent for a moment, he said with Jin Qingyun's face sincerely, "I hope that Duke Jin will take care of his body first", and then retreated silently.

The golden sunlight outside the room was warm, and Xie walked to the courtyard, looking back and closing his eyes to feel the long-lost reality.

She hadn't stood in the sun like this in too long.

Jin Yuming is dead, and Jin Qingyun, who has changed her mood greatly after this incident, has no intention of pursuing her fault and concealing it, and all this has ended her by surprise.

Too fast, too satisfying.

But at this moment, she felt extremely uneasy.

"Madame, what's wrong with you?" Seeing her, the personal maid suddenly frowned and asked softly.

"It's nothing, let's go back."

Or maybe it's because the recent changes have come too much and too quickly, and she will mistake the discomfort for a while.

"Master, you've been sitting for most of the day, the sun is just right outside, the old slave will help you go out for a walk." In the study, the elderly servant said in a hoarse voice.

Jin Qingyun didn't respond, he leaned there, as if he had lost his mind.

The old servant didn't dare to say more, until Jin Qingyun opened his mouth and asked, "Do you have a message for the second son?"

"Back to my lord, early this morning, I have already let people pass the letter out."

"Will he come back?"

"What are you talking about, if something so big happens, the second son will definitely rush back."

"He must have known it a long time ago, that's why that's why he knew it from the beginning......" Jin Qingyun still muttered to himself, "It's all earlier than I knew." For so long, I saw him as a pawn, but I don't know how he saw me......"

Probably a monster too.

The servant sighed silently.

"I never believed in the past, but there is really retribution in this world." Jin Qingyun's voice was lowered.

This is God's retribution for him.
