years later.

Ningxia Qing, dressed in a green and dark gown, blue and white armor, a fur collar cloak, and a dignified double cloud bun standing on top of his head, dressed as a woman, stood in the courtyard.

At the beginning of the day after the snow, everything is white. She had finally waited for this day, and she had finally waited for the day that could barely be called bittersweet.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the contract signed between Ningxia Qing and the Mongolian tribes also officially began to operate.

Last year, because of Xiao's loss and price reduction, many merchants who signed long-term contracts with Ning's had crooked thoughts and wanted to force Ning's to terminate the contract by defaulting on the final payment. Later, Dong Zizhen simply tore his face with those people and asked them back for the money they owed to Hua Caiyuan.

is different from what was expected at the beginning, when the face was torn, not too many people really terminated the contract with Hua Caiyuan.

After all, many people know about Ningxia Qing's big deal from the Northland, because of this incident, the Chamber of Commerce that was dying in the past seems to be able to see the light, and those businessmen who signed a long contract naturally hesitated between the Xiao family and the Ning family, and their hearts wavered, so not many people really wanted to blackmail Hua Caiyuan to take the initiative to terminate the contract because of this.

However, these things are not what Ning Ningqing is thinking about in his heart.

Ningxia Qing pondered Cao's illness in his heart.

In the previous life, the Cao family walked in the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve just past, when the Cao family ran out of oil and the lamp dried up, and the dim light of the night cast a heavy shadow on the Cao family's sick appearance, and Ningxia Qing and Zi'er were about to cry to death by Cao's side.

However, in this life, since Ningxia Qingcheng got married, it seems that Chong Xi has really had a little effect, and Ah Zheng's stability and reliability have made Cao very relieved, and then he is really sick day by day. Ningxia Qing knew that Cao's illness was caused by the fact that many accidents were superimposed together.

Ningxia Qing sometimes feels that after Ah Zheng came back from the north to marry her, this family seems to have a lot more popularity. Although Ah Zheng soon went to live in Baoluo Zhuang for a long time, and Ah Zheng was not a person who loved words, it still made this home inexplicably much more lively than before.

Last night, Ningxia Qing kept watch in Cao's house all night. No one knows why Ningxia Qing has to insist like this, whether it is the old lady or the Cao family, they persuade Ningxia Qing to go back to rest, but Ningxia Qing just refuses.

Without him, even if he watched Cao's illness seem like a day by day, as long as he didn't watch Cao's An'an survive this year, Ningxia Qing couldn't rest assured.

Fortunately, after Chinese New Year's Eve, the Cao family was still in good shape, and his face began to be bloody.

For Ning Xia Qing, Ning Yongda's death after rebirth is her eternal pain. She once thought that everything was providential, everything was destined, no matter how hard she tried, no matter how much she sacrificed, no matter how hard she worked hard, all the grief was something she couldn't resolve.

Although she has never said this to others, she knows that in the past few years, such thoughts have always been a thorn in her heart, piercing her heart all the time.

Because of this idea, her heart has always been bottomless. In the past few years, she has gritted her teeth and moved forward, and when she didn't know if everything she had paid would be in vain, she could only grit her teeth, swallow all her emotions, and go on in the wind and snow.

However, the Cao family did not pass away like in the previous life, although he has not yet recovered, but it is obviously better than one day. Ningxia Qing knows that she is ordinary, and she has never thought that she can change the world, as long as she can make her family safe and secure through her efforts, she is already very grateful to God.

In addition to changing from a girl to a woman's dress, Ningxia Qing's life is no different from when she was a girl, and she still revolves around her family and business all day long. She also thought that such a dull day could last for a while, until she received news from Zhao Xiang'e.

That day was the day when the peach and pear were fragrant, and Zhao Xiang'e boarded the door of Huacaiyuan on the pretext of buying materials, and then went to Ningxia Qing's house.

Ningxia Qing is dressed as a woman. Today's weather is a little hot, so Ning Xia Qing wore a duck egg blue coat, her hair was tied in a double cloud bun, and she looked gentle and comfortable.

When Ning Xia Qing heard that Zhao Xiang'e had arrived, she had a momentary hesitation about her dress.

is also a woman, Ningxia Qing has the luck of marrying a woman, but Zhao Xiang'e will not have it. If Ningxia Qing appeared in front of Zhao Xiang'e dressed as such a woman, I was afraid that Zhao Xiang'e would involuntarily notice Ningxia Qing's transformation from a girl to a woman, which would arouse the hidden pain in Zhao Xiang'e's heart.

But Ning Xia Qing thought about it again, the news of her marriage had already told Zhao Xiang'e that if she deliberately pretended to be a girl in front of Zhao Xiang'e today, it would seem a little contrived, Zhao Xiang'e was so clear, she must have understood the worry in Ning Ningqing's heart, and she was afraid that she would feel even more uncomfortable when the time came.

In that case, it's better to be honest with each other. And Ning Xia Qing also knows that Zhao Xiang'e is not a sentimental person.

Zhao Xiang'e walked in and gave a congratulatory gift, as well as a few clothes for Gu Xiaobao. In order to avoid suspicion with Ningxia Qing, when Ningxia Qing was newly married, Zhao Xiang'e did not dare to give Ningxia Qing a gift, and today it was made up.

As Ning Xia Qing expected, Zhao Xiang'e looked at Ning Ningqing's outfit a few times after coming in, and then her expression was a little complicated, but she didn't say anything, and she didn't dwell too much on the matter.

The reason why Zhao Xiang'e came over was because she had something serious to say to Ning Ningqing.

In fact, Ningxia Qingyou hasn't asked Zhao Xiang'e to do things for him for a long time, and Zhao Xiang'e hasn't been here for a long time. Because Ningxia Qing's battlefield has gradually moved to other places, and Zhao Xiang'e also has her own things to do.

Zhao Xiang'e is now in the limelight, and she can be regarded as becoming more and more prestigious and status in Wanyanfang and even the entire Fuqiao Street. Although it will not become the head snake of Fuqiao Street, in the area of Fuqiao Street, what Zhao Xiang'e wants, plans to do or wants to know, it can be said that there is nothing that Zhao Xiang'e can't do.

Under the prestige of the old bustard of Wan Yanfang, Zhao Xiang'e still broke out of her own territory. Now on Fuqiao Street, many sisters are only Zhao Xiang'e, including many sisters who do not belong to Wan Yanfang. Today's Zhao Xiang'e is no longer the poor woman who is just a servant in Israel.

Of course, the reason why Zhao Xiang'e can be where she is today is because of a lot of ideas that Ning Xia Qing gave her behind her back.

It is precisely because of today's status, prestige and news channels that Zhao Xiang'e learned about this incredible thing. The reason for this incident was that Zhuang Kaiyuan went to Fuqiao Street to drink and have fun.

Since Deputy Lieutenant Xue was transferred, Zhuang Kaiyuan has not returned to the scenery of the past, and naturally he can't afford to go to a place like Wan Yanfang, so he can only go to a cheaper Xiaoqinglou. It's just that there are a few sisters in the small green building who have always had close contacts with Zhao Xiang'e, so they passed on some strange words from Zhuang Kaiyuan to Zhao Xiang'e.

It is said that since Xue Qianqian's death, Zhuang Kaiyuan has been a little delirious, not crazy, but always can't sleep well, and he is always tired and confused during the day, it seems that Zhuang Kaiyuan seems to be frightened by Xue Qianqian's death.

Zhuang Kaiyuan, who was delirious like this, finally couldn't help but spit out the big stone that was pressing on the bottom of his heart after drinking a lot of wine in the Qinglou for several days.

Zhuang Kaiyuan insisted that Xue Qianqian's death must be strange.

According to Zhuang Kaiyuan, he went to Tan's house that day to send Huan Hao medicine to Xue Qianqian, and the medicine was what Xue Qianqian asked him for. When he went, he didn't see Xue Qianqian, he only saw the maid next to Xue Qianqian.

The maid gave Zhuang Kaiyuan the money to buy Huan Hao, and then did not give Zhuang Kaiyuan a gift, but turned around and left, leaving Zhuang Kaiyuan alone in Xue Qianqian's yard.

Zhuang Kaiyuan felt inexplicable at that time, and thought to himself that it must be because of his own incompetence, so he was treated coldly by Xue Qianqian's maid. So, Zhuang Kaiyuan cursed a few words secretly, and then prepared to leave the Tan house, but he heard a strange sound not far away.

Zhuang Kaiyuan was curious for a while, so he followed the sound to look, and as a result, Xue Qianqian fell into the well, and there was a loud noise when she fell into the water!

At that time, there was no one around, and Zhuang Kaiyuan immediately felt that he had been fooled, and someone must have deliberately lured him over. Zhuang Kaiyuan panicked and was about to escape, but at this moment he saw a suspicious figure who left in a hurry.

Zhuang Kaiyuan didn't see the person's appearance at all, but according to the color of the clothes, he felt that it should be a woman, and the woman was very fat.

Just when he was stunned because of that suspicious figure, the people of the Tan family who heard the sound of falling water had already gathered around. Zhuang Kaiyuan couldn't argue, so he was caught and twisted into the warehouse and locked up.

As for the jade pendant found in Xue Qianqian's underwear later, it was indeed Zhuang Kaiyuan's thing, and Zhuang Kaiyuan had always worn it, but he lost it somehow a while ago, and Zhuang Kaiyuan didn't find it for a long time.

Zhuang Kaiyuan knew that he had fallen for someone else, was used by others, and someone used him to slander Xue Qianqian. Since this is the case, Zhuang Kaiyuan will naturally suspect that there is something wrong with Xue Qianqian's cause of death.

After Zhuang Kaiyuan was locked up by Tan Wenshi, he really couldn't say it clearly, and later it was because Xue Qianqian was dead, so Tan Wenshi did not continue to pursue Zhuang Kaiyuan, and the Zhuang family went to Tan's house to make a fuss, and Tan Wenshi let Zhuang Kaiyuan go.

Zhao Xiang'e knew that Ningxia Qing and Tan Wenshi represented the Chamber of Commerce on the one hand, and the public office on the other, and the contradiction between the two was very deep, so she specially came to tell Ningxia Qing about this matter to see if she could help Ningxia Qing.

Ning Xia Qing thought for a moment.

As far as Ning Xia Qing knows, there doesn't seem to be a very fat woman in the backyard of the Tan family. If there must be any, it is only Du Qiutong, who was pregnant at that time. Du Qiutong had a big belly, if Zhuang Kaiyuan only saw a vague figure, it was possible to think that it was a very fat woman.

Ning Xia Qing thought for a while, and asked Zhao Xiang'e to find a way to reveal this matter to Xianghuai without leaving a trace. Based on the relationship between Xianghuai and Tan Wenshi, Xianghuai will definitely tell Tan Wenshi after learning about it.

Zhao Xiang'e showed a subtle smile and said puzzledly: "Can you tell me why you want to do it?" Isn't Aunt Du in Tan's house your cousin? Don't you have a good relationship? ”

Zhao Xiang'e is mixed in the women's pile all day long, and she has seen a lot of intrigues, so although Zhao Xiang'e knows nothing about the grievances between Ning Xia Qing and Du Qiutong, she can also imagine something. Zhao Xiang'e must have felt that the vicious Aunt Du had offended Ningxia Qing in the past, so Ningxia Qing wanted to take revenge.

Ning Xia Qing shook his head and said, "Not really." As you know, Tan Wenshi represents the office, and I represent the Chamber of Commerce. If this matter can make Tan Wenshi worry about it, so as to ignore the things in the office, it will be an opportunity for the Chamber of Commerce. ”

It's not that Ning Xia Qing doesn't want to explain to Zhao Xiang'e about the matter between herself and Du Qiutong, but what Ning Ningqing hates most in her heart is actually the thing that Du Qiutong killed herself in her previous life, and there is no way to explain this matter to Zhao Xiang'e, so Ning Ningqing can only vaguely pass it over.

Zhao Xiang'e didn't ask any more. Regarding Ning Ningqing's decision, Zhao Xiang'e almost never asks the bottom of it.

Zhao Xiang'e only hesitated slightly: "However, there is no evidence for this matter after all, even if it reaches Tan Wenshi's ears, I'm afraid Tan Wenshi won't be able to do anything to Aunt Du." The Xue family has fallen again, and Tan Wenshi doesn't have to worry about the meaning of the Xue family. What's more, Aunt Du just gave birth to a son to Tan Wenshi, and I'm afraid that this matter will only end like this. ”

"It doesn't matter, as long as it can disturb Tan Wenshi's mind." Ning Xia Qing said calmly.

In fact, in addition to disturbing Tan Wenshi's mind, Ning Xia Qing also wanted to use this to provoke the relationship between Tan Wenshi and Du Qiutong.

Although there is no evidence, as long as Tan Wenshi begins to think about this possibility, the gap between him and Du Qiutong has already been planted. As long as this thorn is buried in Tan Wenshi's heart, it will be impossible for Tan Wenshi and Du Qiutong to return to the beginning. Ning Xia Qing felt that years of suspicion were sometimes more torturous than sudden outbursts.

In addition, Ningxia Qing is also unhappy for Xue Qianqian. Or, she was just grieving herself in her previous life. Although there is no evidence of Xue Qianqian's death, Ning Xia Qing is not willing to watch Du Qiutong go on like this.

There is one thing, since he was in the Northland, Ning Xia Qing began to doubt in his heart.

At that time, she was kidnapped by the people arranged by Xiao Jingyuan, and it was Tan Wenshi who helped Cuiyu find Ah Zheng. Tan Wenshi was obviously Xiao Jingyuan's person, but at that time, he wanted to save Ning Ningqing, which was too unreasonable. It was from that time that Ning Xia Qing began to wonder for the first time, would such Tan Wenshi really kill Ning Xia Qing in his previous life?

And Xue Qianqian's death made Ning Ningqing even more suspicious of this. Xue Qianqian died in the hands of Du Qiutong, just as Ningxia Qing died in the hands of Du Qiutong in the previous life. And Tan Wenshi didn't know anything about Xue Qianqian's death, could it be, in fact, in his previous life, Tan Wenshi didn't know anything about Ning Ningqing's death?

Ning Xia Qing no longer has any illusions about Tan Wenshi, she is open-minded at this point, but she still wants to know, is her sincere dedication really not moved Tan Wenshi at all? She just wants to know, is her sincere dedication so worthless in the eyes of others?

Ever since she was reborn, this doubt has tormented her and made her feel worthless.

But in front of Xue Qianqian's spirit, she saw Tan Wenshi's complicated expression because of Xue Qianqian's death, and she suddenly had a little hope in her heart, and she wanted to prove her past life more and more.

In any case, Tan Wenshi is not indifferent to Xue Qianqian, and Ning Xia Qing has been Tan Wenshi's wife for much longer than Xue Qianqian, since this is the case, Ning Xia Qing can't believe that Tan Wenshi can be so ruthless to himself.

The next night.

Du Qiutong looked at himself in the mirror, with a cloudy bun and a misty beard, eyebrows and green daisies, and a begonia-colored spring and autumn coat on his body, revealing a gentle smile.

Ever since she gave birth, she has been trying to get back to her old self. When she was pregnant, she paid great attention to it, and used tonic medicine to supplement nutrients to the fetus in her womb all day long, and the rest did not dare to take more bites, for fear that it would not be easy to recover after becoming fat. Therefore, not long after giving birth, she quickly regained her old beauty.

Compared with the past, Du Qiutong is now cowardly and delicate, but the youth has gradually faded, becoming more and more like a woman, and after giving birth to a child, Du Qiutong's figure has also changed from slender to plump. Compared with Du Qiutong, who was blindly pitiful in the past, Du Qiutong is now plump and slender, and his elegance is far better than before.

The begonia-colored shirt on her body was made last year, when Xue Qianqian was still alive, and Du Qiutong, as a concubine, could only use this pink. Du Qiutong stared at the begonia-colored shirt on his body, his eyes showed dissatisfaction, and then he changed to a relieved smile.

It's true that last year she could only wear pink.

But she believed that she would soon be able to wear bright red.

Xue Qianqian died, Du Qiutong gave birth to Tan Wenshi's only son, and the other two concubines were timid and stupid, and they were not Du Qiutong's opponents at all. Moreover, Du Qiutong's fourth uncle Du Hongwen seems to have some signs of coming out, maybe it can really develop in the future, and it is impossible to say if Du Qiutong can borrow his strength.

In this case, as long as Du Qiutong blows Tan Wenshi more pillow wind, maybe Fuzheng will be just around the corner. Coincidentally, Tan Wenshi sent a message before, saying that he was coming to Du Qiutong's room again tonight. Du Qiutong looked at himself in the mirror with bright eyes and I saw pity, and suddenly felt a little confident, planning to urge Tan Wenshi to straighten himself up.

There was movement at the door, and Tan Wenshi walked in.
