"Auntie, don't worry, I won't suffer!"

Mrs. An smiled, she patted the back of Qu Miaoling's hand, "Let's go, it's hot, let's go in and talk." ”

The two of them sat down in the hall, and Mrs. An looked at the child who had not been seen for a long time, and the more she looked at it, the more sure she was, "Miao Ling, but Wu Dehou treats you badly, look at your little face, you are all haggard, you still move back, there is an aunt to take care of, and those demons and monsters dare not do anything to you!" ”

Mrs. An is very confident in saying this, her husband Jingkanghou is not as unqualified as Wudehou, he has a serious official position, has serious errands, and often enters the palace, has a good relationship with the emperor, and is the emperor's right-hand man, and he is also well-known in the court.

"Auntie, Miao Ling knows that you feel sorry for me, but Wudehou Mansion is my home after all, and if I want to live in the mansion, I have to adapt."

Mrs. An wanted to say something, Qu Miaoling said again: "Auntie, I used to have you to take care of, I love you from the bottom of my heart, you are just like my mother, but Milk Yan will leave her mother's nest after all, aunt, you just let me go out and break in!" ”

Mrs. Ann almost burst into tears, her eyes were even redder, and her handkerchief was dotted under her eyes.

Looking at such an aunt, Qu Miaoling felt uncomfortable, but she had to do this, those charms and ghosts, it was definitely not her retreating, they would stop, in order to protect the people she loved and the people who loved her, she had to be brave.

"Auntie, don't worry."

Mrs. Ann nodded.

"Lan Ye, go and prepare some of her favorite snacks for Miss, mung bean cake and chestnut cake, these are indispensable, Miao Ling likes to eat the most."

Qu Miaoling looked at her attentive aunt, and her heart warmed even more.

No matter what time it is, my aunt is the one who cares about herself the most, whether it is in a past life or in this life.

Therefore, she will work harder and must protect them.

Qu Miaoling looked at her aunt and smiled, "Auntie, you still treat me as that white and fat dumpling, I can't eat so much now." ”

"How good it is to be white and fat, look at you now, like a wicker, listen to your aunt's words, your body has not grown yet, eat more."

Qu Miaoling smiled, "Okay, good, it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”

"If you're a child, you know how to make fun of your aunt!" Mrs. An finally smiled, and Qu Miaoling breathed a sigh of relief.

"Auntie, does my mother also like to eat these two pastries, I remember you said before, I have almost the same habits as my mother."

Suddenly mentioning the county lord of Huiling, Mrs. An's face changed, she looked at Miao Ling and couldn't help but sigh, "Yes, when you were young, you looked like your mother, and now you look like a mold, even the small movements are so similar." ”

Mrs. Ann fell into the memory, and her expression gradually became sad.

Qu Miaoling struck while the iron was hot, and then asked, "Auntie, how could a person with a weak temperament like my mother, stay away from fighting, and die early?" ”

Mrs. An woke up, she looked at Miao Ling, her eyes were still sad, "Miao Ling, you still don't want to know this." ”

Mrs. An lowered her head, and Qu Miaoling followed up and asked, "Auntie, I am my mother's daughter, and now that I have grown up, don't prevaricate me, tell me!" ’

"Hey!" Mrs. Ann sighed again.

"Miao Ling, you know this, it's no good, your mother and I don't want you to be in danger."

"Auntie, I want to know."

Qu Miaoling's tone was firm, and Mrs. An was helpless, "You have grown up." ”

Mrs. An raised her head, her eyes were empty, as if she remembered her happy past with the county lord of Huiling, "Your mother is a lovely girl, she does not fight or grab, she is beautiful, she is good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, she is the woman that men in the capital want to marry the most, but after she married into the palace, everything changed." ”

Mrs. An paused and continued: "After your mother got married, I followed to marry into the Jingkang Hou Mansion, and the number of times our sisters met was less, but every time I went to see her, her state was not very good, and finally one day, I heard the news that your mother went, and I hurried to it, but your mother had been buried, and I didn't even see her for the last time." ”

Qu Miaoling was anxious, "And then?" ”

"Hey, I found Hui Ling's personal maid, and she told me that Hui Ling had been vomiting blood when she died, but there was no sign of this illness before, I speculate-"

"Mother's poisoning?"

Mrs. Ann was shocked, "How do you know?" ”

"Grandmother told me a few things, but she didn't know much more."

"Auntie, why didn't you continue to track down at that time, why did you let the murderer go unpunished?"

Mrs. An was even more sad when she was asked, "Miao Ling, the situation at that time was very complicated, and it was not something I could explain clearly in one or two sentences. ”

Mrs. An thought for a while and advised, "Miao Ling, you must not try to track it down, you know?" "Aunt doesn't want you to be hurt.

Being stared at by Mrs. An's worried gaze, Qu Miaoling only got: "Auntie, I know, I won't track it down without permission." ”

But how is this possible?

Since she is sure that there are other grievances in her mother's death, she must definitely arrest the real murderer and let her pay for her mother's life.

Qu Miaoling's eyes gradually became fierce, and one of her hands was clenched.

Mrs. An was even more worried, and she couldn't help but want to continue to instruct.

But Qu Miaoling asked again: "Auntie, why did I come to Jingkang Hou's Mansion after my mother's death?" Could it be that the murderer of my mother is in the Qu family? ”

Qu Miaoling's most suspicious thing is Wen Rou.

Mrs. An was taken aback, and quickly explained, "Miao Ling, why do you think so, your mother is dead, and your father is also very uncomfortable, but the family can't be without a housewife, so he married the Wen family, your grandfather was worried that you would be bullied by the Wen family at home, so he sent you to Huangzhuang, so my aunt will come over often, and this is given to you by the emperor, no one dares to come here to find trouble." ”

Qu Miaoling nodded, Mrs. An saw that Miaoling's eyes were different, she opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but the housekeeper outside came to report: "Madam, the second prince, the sixth prince ask to see." “

Are they all here?

Mrs. An obviously saw this meeting, and she was not surprised, she said: "Please invite the princes to the front hall, and then there is, go and invite the eldest young master back, and say that the princes are coming." ”

The steward should "yes" and leave.

"Auntie, why are they here?" It's still so many people coming together.

No wonder she saw the Fourth Prince and the Sixth Prince on the street just now, they were still carrying things in their hands, probably getting off the carriage to buy gifts.

But where did the four princes go?

Qu Miaoling was puzzled, and Mrs. An said: "Miaoling, you and your aunt are going to entertain the prince, in fact, they may not be willing to talk to us women, they should be here to find Jie'er, let's go, let's go and see." ”

Looking for Brother Min Jie?

Qu Miaoling understood.

The uncle-in-law is quite famous in the court, the four cousins are even more outstanding, and the eldest cousin Min Jie is even more in Dali Temple, and the future is immeasurable.

Thinking about it this way, Qu Miaoling understood.

Her aunt had a smooth life, and Jing Kanghou was a dedicated person, never marrying a wife or concubine, and there was not even a fly in the house.

Even those ministers wanted to have a good relationship with their uncles, so they had to try their best to get their wives close to their aunts and send some jewelry and expensive clothes, but the aunts didn't accept them, so they tried to recruit them and invite their aunts to the banquet to get closer.

The princes are also getting older, as the son of the emperor, who would not be interested in the throne?

When they came, Qu Miaoling also guessed some intentions.

In his previous life, Situ Huaibo used himself to have a good relationship with his uncle, and let his uncle-in-law stand on his side, but his uncle-in-law was a strong person, so he refused, and he even had a little resentment at the beginning, and he was even unfamiliar with his aunt.

How could she be so stupid!

Qu Miaoling couldn't help but scold herself.

"Miao Ling, let's go?" Mrs. An looked at Qu Miaoling in surprise.

Qu Miaoling hurriedly followed.

Approaching the front hall, Qu Miaoling stopped, "Auntie, I'm still not going, the flowers I planted some time ago should bloom, I'll go and see." ”

Qu Miaoling turned around and left.

Mrs. An looked at it and suddenly laughed, Lan Ye was puzzled, "Madam, what are you laughing at?" ”

"I'm laughing, the little girl who only knew how to eat candy back then has finally grown up!"

Lan Ye is still puzzled, does the young lady grow up, does it have anything to do with the lady's laughter?

Seeing Lan Ye's puzzled face, Mrs. An smiled even more, "Silly girl, Miao Ling should be at the age of saying goodbye!" ”

Lan Ye suddenly realized, "Madam, do you mean that among these princes, there is someone that Miss likes?" ”

Mrs. Ann nodded, and then walked to the front hall, she was also wondering, who could it be?

She walked into the front hall, the two princes sat steadily, and when they saw Mrs. An coming in, they all bowed their heads and called out to their aunts.

Mrs. An smiled, "Why did you come together to find Jie'er?" ”

Situ Huaiju also smiled: "Auntie, we have something to discuss with Brother Min Jie, is he here?" ”

"Not yet, he's on an errand today, but it's estimated that he should come back later, you guys have a sip of tea first, I've already sent someone to call."

Situ Huai agreed.

Mrs. An's eyes looked at the princes, the six princes were too hot-tempered, and they were not good people at first glance, isn't this the best candidate be-

Mrs. An's eyes fell on Situ Huaiju, staring at Situ Huaiju's hair, especially Mrs. An's satisfied smile.

"Auntie, is there anything wrong with me today?"

Mrs. An continued to laugh, and then she also noticed that her expression was strange, and she said, "I heard that King Jie was injured a few days ago, is his body in trouble?" ”

"Thank you aunt for your concern, it's all a small injury, it's almost fine."

"Didn't leave a root cause?"

Situ Huai was stunned, "No." ”

"Didn't hurt much?"

Situ Huai was even more confused, he glanced at his younger brother, and the eyes of the six princes were the same stunned.

"Nope."

Mrs. An is relieved, that's fine, otherwise Miao Ling will marry in the future, but she won't be a widow?
