Jiang Chengjia breathed a sigh of relief.

Qianshan asked, "Is the female monarch hungry?" Need something to eat? ”

Jiang Chengjia shook his head and said, "I really ate a lot of lunch today... I don't have any appetite at the moment. ”

She walked slowly in the maple garden, and after looking around, she didn't find any trace of Ning Nan in the courtyard, so she wondered: "Where is the prince?" ”

Qian Shan replied: "The lord and Ji Xianzhi have something to discuss, and they are currently in the Yayun Pavilion. The main bus represented... If the female monarch wakes up to look for him, he should ask the female monarch to wait for a while, and he will come back later. ”

Jiang Chengjia frowned, and bent himself in the wind under the porch, only to feel that he had slept and was a little weak and weak, so he said to Qianshan and Xiaocui: While the sky is still bright... How about you two go for a walk in the red maple forest? ”

Qian Shan smiled: "The female monarch has been very fond of distraction recently! ”

Jiang Chengjia raised his eyebrows and said, "Can't you keep it in the maple garden all the time?" ”

Xiao Cui followed behind and said with a smile and sweetly: "The female monarch can't be idle... You have to move to be comfortable. ”

Jiang Chengjia gently scratched the tip of Xiaocui's nose, hooked his lips and said, "Xiaocui has also learned to make fun of me now?" ”

The three of them talked and laughed and walked towards the outside of the maple garden.

Along the way, Jiang Chengjia walked leisurely. Walking on the spacious dirt road piled with soft red maple leaves, Xiao Cui sighed: "If it weren't for the female monarch who took Xiao Cui out of the command office... Xiao Cui has never seen such a magnificent red maple forest in her life... Patches of dense fire were imprinted in the sky like red clouds... It's beautiful. ”

Jiang Chengjia said gently: "Yes... The red maple here is as red as blood, and it is extremely brilliant... There are very few maple forests like this in the south. Even if it's Luoyang, I'm afraid it's only found in the deep mountains..."

Qianshan asked, "I heard... Every red maple tree in this red maple forest... It was all planted for her by an old friend of Mrs. Cao? ”

She whispered, "Not bad... Exactly. ”

Xiao Cui looked left and right at the red maple forest, and sighed again: "That old friend of Mrs. Cao is really very attentive... Such a fiery maple forest... It's not something that can be planted in a month or two... The land of Linghe is very humid and hot, and it is difficult for the seedlings of the red maple tree to survive, especially in such a mountain field village. ”

Jiang Chengjia stared at Xiao Cui with an envious look, and secretly smiled: "Our Xiao Cui is also envious? ”

Xiao Cui was stunned, blushed slightly and said, "Xiao Cui is indeed envious... But I don't dare to ask for extravagance, and there is such a person in my life who treats myself. ”

Jiang Chengjia listened to her soft whisper, felt pity in her heart, gently held her arm and said gently: "Don't say anything stupid that you don't dare to ask for... I will treat you as a sister, and in the future... You have what you love, and you must have the courage to pursue it. You have to believe that you will also meet such a person who treats you well..."

Xiao Cui raised her little face and hesitated: "Really? ”

Jiang Chengjia nodded and said solemnly: "Really." ”

Xiao Cui's face was flushed, her eyes were foggy, and she was moved in her heart: "Female monarch... Thank you. ”

The three of them walked slowly from the entrance of the village to the front of the mountain forest, and were talking about the interesting story of the back village, when they inadvertently saw the exit of the mountain forest, a touch of red and brown brocade clothes flashed in a hurry, and on the other side, a man in a dark straight robe walked away from the front of the mountain. The two of them were talking, and seemed to hear the movement of several of them before suddenly dispersed.

Jiang Chengjia frowned, took two steps forward and looked forward, only to see that the person hiding in the mountain forest pass seemed to know that he couldn't avoid her sight, and after a while, he came out from behind the maple tree in front of the mountain pass.

He was dressed in a reddish-brown cloud robe, and he simply combed his hair into a bun with a few hairbands on his head.

The person who came was Dou Yueshan, who was supposed to accompany Dou Taijun in the Zhuangzi for a walk in the Houzhuang.

Jiang Chengjia paused, saw Dou Yueshan here, and called out with a surprised face: "Zi said? How did you get here? Who will you talk to again? ”

As if something had been pierced, Dou Yueshan touched the back of her head in embarrassment, laughed twice and said, "Sister-in-law... What a coincidence? We've just... I'm just talking to a friend I met in Linhe..."

Jiang Chengjia saw that he said this hesitantly, with an unnatural look on his face, so he was suspicious and asked repeatedly: "The friend you met in Linhe?" ”

Dou Yueshan laughed twice and said, "Yes... Be! Sister-in-law, I still have something to do, my great-grandmother is waiting for me! I'll go back first! ”

"Wait!" Jiang Chengjia wanted to ask something. saw Dou Yueshan running very fast, and disappeared as soon as she slipped away.

She sank her face slightly, only feeling strange, so she looked out from the mountain pass, and the man who was talking to Dou Yueshan here had already left from nowhere and disappeared.

Jiang Chengjia condensed his eyes, pulled Qian Shan and Xiao Cui, quietly followed behind Dou Yueshan, changed a path from the maple forest, and turned back to Zhuangzi.

Xiao Cui was puzzled by Jiang Chengjia and Qian Shan's suddenly cold looks.

After the three of them sneaked back to Zhuangzi, Qianshan got Jiang Chengjia's eyes, broke Xiaocui away, and took her to the back hall. So that Jiang Chengjia can act alone. Battle

Dou Yueshan entered Zhuangzi and went straight to Dou Taijun's Agarwood Pavilion.

Jiang Chengjia followed all the way, hiding behind the wall of the Agarwood Pavilion, and saw Dou Yueshan sneaking into Taijun's house, and looked left and right again, and after confirming that there was no one, he carefully closed the door.

She crept close to the porch, and through the long passage in front of her, she turned and hid in the corner between the wall and the pillar, poked a small hole in the window of the room, closed one eye and looked carefully into the room.

It was too dark, and the room was pitch black, Dou Yueshan lit a candle from her arms and rummaged through the room with a candlestick. After a few moments, he looked disappointed, and didn't seem to have found what he was looking for.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Chengjia saw him stay in the house for a while, then blew out the lamp in his hand, returned all the messed things back to their original state, pushed open the door again and closed it carefully, and then walked towards the back room with a solemn face.

She hid in the corner, waiting for Dou Yueshan to look at another corridor around the corner, and then followed.

The brown-clothed young man rushed to the Fengxi Residence in the back hall of Hongfeng Village.

Jiang Chengjia chased after him and followed him to the place where Mrs. Cao and Dou Taijun were sitting and resting at the moment.

She hid behind the wall to the right of the Moon Gate out of breath, staring at Feng Xi's position in the center.

I saw Dou Yueshan rushing in front of Dou Taijun, seemingly full of anger.

At this time, the sky had not completely darkened, Jiang Chengjia hid behind the moon gate, and saw that Dou Taijun was helpless to break away Mrs. Cao.

After Aunt Biyun helped Mrs. Cao leave from the other side of Fengxi Residence, she sighed and said, "What do you want to ask?" ”

Dou Yueshan looked incredulous, and asked Dou Taijun, "Please tell your great-grandson... How did my aunt and grandmother die? ”

She looked up at the sky, her dark eyes seemed to have tears, and there was a hint of sadness on her old face.

"Who told you about your aunt?" Dou Taijun calmed down, suppressed the sadness in his tone, and pretended to be calm.

Dou Yueshan was a little anxious and said, "Great grandmother! Don't hide it from your grandchildren! The grandson knows that the aunt and grandmother back then... Not to die of illness, but to be victimized! Yes and no? ”

His voice widened. Dou Taijun frowned and scolded, "Are you getting more and more bold? How dare you question your great-grandmother like this now? ”

Dou Yueshan was stunned, lowered her voice slightly, her face was silent, and begged: "Great grandmother, grandson just wants to know the truth..."

Dou Taijun said with a straight face: "This matter... You don't have to know. ”

Dou Yueshan was a little deflated, was silent for a while, and then asked, "That... Can the grandchildren know... How did my mother give birth to me? ”

Dou Taijun seemed a little surprised, looked up at him and said, "How are you... Ask about your mother again? Your mother had a difficult birth when she gave birth to you, and it took two days and two nights to give birth to you... It's such a simple fact, what is there to ask? ”

Dou Yueshan didn't believe it, squatted down in front of the old woman, lay on her lap, and pleaded: "Great grandmother! I really... Was it really born to a mother? If so, why did my father ask Aunt Ge Yun about what happened back then? And why... Aunt Ge Yun was sent back to the countryside by her father...? How could the stable woman back then say that it was difficult for my mother to give birth to a child... Is it stillborn?! ”

One question after another made Dou Taijun's face more and more pale and difficult to look at.

She was silent for a long time, and asked Dou Yueshan coldly, "Who did you hear all this from?" ”

"Great grandmother! Even now, you still won't say anything? These things were all investigated by Sun Er privately by himself. Back then, the stable woman who was hidden by her great-grandmother... The grandson has been found. The stable woman said that my mother gave birth to a stillborn baby back then! Can... If it's stillborn, then I... Who am I? ”

He was already very angry, and when he said that, his emotions were a little out of control.

Jiang Chengjia, who was hiding behind the moon gate, was also stunned.

Dou Xunfen's concubine Chen... Gave birth to a stillborn child?

She leaned against the wall of the moon gate, poked out a pair of eyes, and continued to listen to the conversation between the grandfather and grandson with her ears sideways.

Dou Taijun remained silent all the time.

Dou Yueshan really couldn't stand her attitude, but there was nothing she could do, so she could only grit her teeth and say firmly: "If the great grandmother is unwilling to tell her grandson the truth, the grandson will definitely bite this matter, and if you don't find out, you will never give up!" ”

He stood up, returned from Fengxi Ju with an angry face, and rushed towards the moon gate where Jiang Chengjia was hiding.

Jiang Chengjia panicked, looked around, but couldn't find a place to hide, just as she was tiptoeing and preparing to hide behind a tree on the side, she heard Dou Yueshan's puzzled voice not far away: "Sister-in-law... How is it here? ”

His question made Dou Taijun, who was sitting peacefully drinking tea in the center of Fengxi with his eyes down, suddenly raised his head and looked at the Yuemen.

Jiang Chengjia was arrested by his grandparents and grandchildren.
