Ruan Qingzhi returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion safe and sound, like a piece of catkins falling on the surface of the lake, without causing the slightest ripple.

No one was waiting for her to come back, and of course the little guys wouldn't be running to tell each other because of her return.

Coincidentally, it happened that Ruan Qingzhi didn't want to see anyone from the Prime Minister's Mansion, so he took this opportunity to simply bypass the mourning hall in the front yard and go straight to Xifang Garden with Yiyun.

She had just escaped death, and she had to go back and boil some water to wash off her bad luck and eat something good to appease her fragile old heart.

was thinking about the beauty, but unexpectedly, a "help" suddenly sounded in the silence of the backyard, which frightened Ruan Qingzhi and couldn't help but shiver.

Blue sky and white day, what the hell! Ruan Qingzhi came back to his senses and stomped his feet angrily.

Xieyun also heard this voice, and immediately panicked: "It's the direction of the firewood house!" Could it be that the second lady took advantage of our absence to catch the moon ...... again?"

Ruan Qingzhi said calmly: "It's not the voice of the moon. ”

But, let's go check it out.

Because almost everyone in the house is in the front yard, the vicinity of the firewood house is deserted. Ruan Qingzhi walked over quickly, only to hear the footsteps of himself and Xianyun, and he walked in a hurry.

I was suspecting that the previous sound was just an auditory hallucination, but finally another voice appeared in front of me.

This time it was a man, laughing. The direction is in the firewood house ahead.

Ruan Qingzhi's face changed, and he immediately shook off his hand and rushed in in a flash.

There was not one man, but two in the firewood room. The skinny girl was crushed against the pyre, disheveled.

The slender and uniform firewood and grass on the ground were scattered, and they were surrounded by Ruan Qingzhi's clothes, like snow fluttering in the sky.

In the next moment, two men flew up at the same time, one slamming against the wall, the other against the beam, and then falling down again, flattening on the ground like a pile of hot cow dung.

The girl on the pyre burst into tears.

Ruan Qingzhi frowned and shouted: "Shut up!" ”

The girl's crying stopped abruptly, and the two men's cries of pain also stopped. The three of them looked at Ruan Qingzhi in horror.

Then, the girl turned over and got up, knelt at Ruan Qingzhi's feet, and kowtowed: "Thank you for saving your life!" ”

"Help?" Ruan Qingzhi looked at the two men again, "So, these two dog thieves are going to kill you?" ”

Of course the girl's heart is not, but the eldest lady is still young and doesn't understand this, so it's better not to explain.

At this time, Xianyun finally chased in and stared at the two men: "Miss, they don't seem to be from the house!" ”

"Oh?" Ruan Qingzhi kicked a sharp wooden stick under the neck of one of them, and asked sharply, "Where did it come from?" Dare to commit murder in my prime minister's mansion, have you eaten leopard gall? ”

The man's eyes glazed over at the white wooden thorns under his neck were so frightened that he couldn't speak.

The one who fell under the wall was not convinced, bent down and picked up a wooden stick and rushed towards Ruan Qingzhi.

"Be careful!" Yiyun and the girl exclaimed at the same time.

Ruan Qingzhi looked impatient, and the wooden stick in her hand slammed into the opponent's head, and the wooden stick in the opponent's hand was still two feet away from her.

The brave man fell down again, dizzy.

Ruan Qingzhi sighed helplessly: "If you fall, you should obediently admit defeat!" Is it that hard to admit that you can't? Now it's okay, the original crime was attempted murder, but now it has become an attempted assassination of the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion! By the way, what are the identities of the two of you? Is it a minion or a commoner? If it's a minion, I'll have someone kill me!" ”

The two men were stunned and the other was stunned, and they originally planned to pretend to be dead together, but they didn't dare to pretend at this time, for fear that one would accidentally die.

So the one who had been held by the neck before hurriedly spoke: "You can't kill me!" Big niece, I'm your uncle, both of us are your uncle, you can't kill us! ”

Ruan Qingzhi was furious: "Nonsense, when did I have such an ugly uncle!" ”

"No matter how ugly it is, it's uncle!" The man cried urgently, "We have the same surname as Xiangye, isn't it your uncle?" If you beat us, you just don't respect the elder, we will sue you! ”

"Ouch, this scares the hell out of me!" Ruan Qingzhi threw a wooden stick in horror, "I beat my aunt last night, and I beat my uncle again today, you said that Jingzhao Yamen won't cut me down for the crime of unfilial piety, right?" ”

When the man heard this, he immediately put away his tears, knelt on the ground and put up a shelf to be an uncle: "We as elders will not worry about your children, if you don't see this today, the uncles will naturally not embarrass you......"

Before he finished speaking, Ruan Qingzhi picked up a thin branch and pulled it over: "I call you Uncle Sheng, do you really dare to agree, dare to agree?" Gave you face? Take advantage of me, take advantage of me, let you take advantage of me! ”

Say a word and smoke, that uncle was beaten and screamed.

At this time, the little girl had already tidied up her clothes and hair with the help of Yiyun, and knelt down in front of Ruan Qingzhi again: "Miss, even if they are the same generation as the old man, they are not people with heads and faces!" Sister Luanyin originally sent two little guys here to guard me chopping wood, and then the two of them were lazy and wanted to drink, so they hired these two thieves to guard them for them with four big money, and these two people nodded at the little guys! ”

Ruan Qingzhi understood.

said that he was the same surname as Xiangye, but he was willing to do things for the little guy in Xiangfu for four money, which shows that he is poor and spineless, and he is by no means a child of the Ruan family, a century-old family.

Doing errands for others but taking the opportunity to bully a little girl, it can be seen that her character is despicable, and she is usually afraid of doing bad things. This kind of thing, to live is to waste the food of the world, pollute the air of the world, and by the way, poison the eyes of the world.

Ruan Qingzhi thought for a while and ordered: "Carry Yun, go and call someone to tie up these two uncles and send them to Jingzhao Yamen." If anyone comes across them, they are called stealing, and they are not allowed to say anything else. ”

Of course, the two were not convinced.

Ruan Qingzhi's slender branch in his hand whined, and his expression was cold: "It's okay if you don't want to admit stealing, anyway, stealing is a board, and bullying the ladies in the prime minister's house is a capital crime, you can do it!" ”

"Miss!" This time it was Xieyun's turn to be unconvinced.

Ruan Qingzhi twisted her arm and scolded, "Are you stupid? What should you say when you get to the Yamen, and use me to teach you? ”

With a sudden realization, he immediately ran out to call someone.

Ruan Qingzhi looked at the little girl again: "You just said that Luan Yin asked you to chop wood here?" So you're from Jinghuayuan? ”

"Yes," the little girl knelt on the ground honestly, "the slave maid is the guardian of the gate of the Jinghua Courtyard and cleans the courtyard, and her name is Xiaoyu. Thanks to the eldest lady for saving me today, the life of the slave and maid ...... in the future."

Ruan Qingzhi didn't have a good impression of the people in Jinghua Academy, so he didn't ask her what was going on, just sat on the threshold with the branch and waited for someone to come.

With the clouds, he quickly brought the night cold over. Obviously, he had already said something about this place on the way, and Ye Han didn't hesitate to come in, picking up the two "uncles" one by one and leaving.

Ruan Qingzhi was a little surprised: "Hey, you are actually at home today!" ”

"Just came back." Ye Han said calmly, "Banyue is not in our courtyard, so he may have been called to help from the front." You'd better go and see it, lest anyone bully her. ”

Ruan Qingzhi agreed casually, and suddenly became a little annoyed: "Hey, you didn't even ask me if I was bullied today!" As soon as I came back, let me care about the moon, why don't you care about me? Are you eccentric? ”

Ye Han ignored her, dragging the two of them all the way away.

Xianyun looked at Ruan Qingzhi and hated that iron could not become steel: "Miss, you are too embarrassed!" Actually coquettish in front of the minions! is also competing with the maid for favor! ”

Ruan Qingzhi's eyes suddenly widened in fright: "What are you talking about?" Don't talk nonsense! I'm not! I didn't! ”

"Yes, you don't, Miss!" Yiyun bowed his head and echoed his conscience.

Ruan Qingzhi blushed inexplicably, and flicked his sleeves fiercely: "Go!" Go find the companion moon! ”

Xiaoyu was still kneeling on the ground, and when she saw that she was leaving, she hesitated and hurriedly spoke: "Miss, I ......"

"You?" Ruan Qingzhi kept at his feet, and his voice was lazy: "Isn't your firewood still chopping yet?" You continue to split, do things from beginning to end! ”

The little fish looked down at the firewood and grass scattered at his feet, and wanted to cry without tears.

She was greedy. If her own master wants to be abused, how can outsiders save her to the end.

Ruan Qingzhi doesn't care about the little girl's heart. She forgot about it in the blink of an eye, and hurried to the front yard with Yiyun.

I haven't seen the shadow of the moon for a long time, but I have already met many people I know, so I have no choice but to go to the mourning hall to kowtow first.

Ruan Biyun was kneeling in the mourning hall, and when she saw her come in, her apricot eyes immediately widened: "Sister, why are you ......?"

A fast-talking woman next to her was already shouting, "Oh my God, big girl, why are you back?" Xiangye just said that you are afraid that you will be more auspicious, so you asked someone to prepare all the paper people and paper horses! ”

"What," Ruan Qingzhi looked blank, "I thought I came to my mother's mourning hall, but it turned out to be my own mourning hall?" ”

The evening sun shone behind her, and her front was dark. Ruan Bijun only felt that her face was stiff and lifeless, and her scalp suddenly tingled with fright.

The third aunt next to her, Li, hurriedly greeted her: "Eldest sister, it's best if you come back." I've been going for so long, but everyone is worried to death! ”

"What's there to worry about?" Ruan Qingzhi's expression was faint, "It was summoned by the Queen Mother, not by the King of Hades." Do you still have any doubts about the Queen Mother's kindness and generosity? ”

A smile immediately appeared on Li's face: "How can this be? When we first heard that you were summoned to the palace, we only felt honored in our hearts, but the second sister said that it was only afraid that it would be bad to be summoned so suddenly, so we were worried. ”

Ruan Qingzhi patted her hand soothingly and said, "Don't worry", and looked at Ruan Biyun again: "You're worried." While grieving for your mother, and worrying about me at the same time, it is not easy for you. ”

"It's good that my sister comes back safely." Ruan Biyun's two lines of tears had already fallen, "I'm really afraid...... Sister, didn't the Queen Mother embarrass you? ”

"Why should the Queen Mother embarrass me?" Ruan Qingzhi was surprised, "I didn't kill anyone!" My minions didn't kill anyone! We honestly didn't do anything bad! ”

Ruan Biyun was speechless, stunned for a while, and suddenly cried at the spiritual position again.

At this time, a small guy hurriedly broke in outside, and said hurriedly: "Second Miss, there is news from Jingzhao Yamen, saying that Ah Bao Ah Hu has confessed to the crime and committed suicide in prison!" ”

Li Shi hurriedly asked: "All recruited?" Who is behind this? ”

The little maid said quickly: "The first few things said that no one instructed them, and they were dissatisfied with the old lady and the eldest lady and did it from the second lady. They didn't admit Mrs. Jin's incident, and Jingzhao Yamen tried their best to ask the next person! ”

Ruan Bijun whimpered and sat down on the ground.

The maidservant next to her was busy helping her to comfort her, and Ruan Biyun cried: "Those two bastards, it's not a pity to die!" They kept saying that they were loyal to me, but they dared to murder my grandmother and sister and my master without telling me...... Sister, I'm so scared! If they dare to harm you, they will dare to harm me...... Our Prime Minister actually raised so many white-eyed wolves! ”

Ruan Qingzhi looked at the little girl who threw herself into her arms in a daze, and subconsciously raised her hand and patted it: "Don't be afraid, isn't it already dead." Evildoers will die a miserable death, don't be afraid! ”

In the plain white mourning hall, a pair of little sisters without a mother hugged each other and said that the world was sinister, this scene was both warm and poignant, and the aunts and aunts next to them whimpered and cried.

Mrs. Jin, why did you leave at such a young age, and how difficult the future should be if you left these children behind......

In the cry, Ruan Biyun, who was nestled in Ruan Qingzhi's arms, gritted her teeth: "How did you do it?" ”

Ruan Qingzhi caressed her back lovingly, and did not deliberately lower her voice: "Don't worry, the way of this world is always evil and not good, and the Queen Mother understands everything in her heart." ”

"Yes," Li Shi was busy comforting, "Second sister, don't be careful, slaves are slaves, you are you, the queen mother's heart is like a mirror, and she will not be angry." ”

Ruan Biyun cried even more miserably when she heard this, grabbed Ruan Qingzhi's waist with both hands, and twisted it with all her strength.

This little pain is nothing to Ruan Qingzhi. While patting Ruan Biyun's back like coaxing a child, she raised her head and asked Li, "Did the third aunt see my girl?" ”

Li hesitated for a moment and looked at Ruan Biyun: "That girl ......"

Just as he didn't know what to say, Ruan Wenzhong's roar came from under the corridor: "She still dares to come back from that evil obstacle?" ”

As soon as the words fell, the man also entered the door. The light in the mourning hall was dim, and Ruan Wenzhong didn't see it clearly, but first saw Ruan Qingzhi's hand on Ruan Biyun's back with a soft pop.

"Evil obstacles! Let go of your sister! He shouted.

Ruan Qingzhi was frightened and suddenly pushed Ruan Biyun out, turned over and knelt on the ground trembling and shouted with a crying voice: "I didn't do anything wrong today, is my father going to fight again?" ”

Ruan Wenzhong was stunned for a moment, and then became angry: "What nonsense are you talking about!" ”

"I didn't ......," Ruan Qingzhi continued to shrink.

Several women in the mourning hall looked at Ruan Van Chung, and everyone was shocked.

How do you hear this meaning, Miss Ruan is often beaten? If you make a mistake, you have to fight if you find a mistake? What a reason!

A few soft-hearted people couldn't help but want to come out and persuade: "Xiangye, big girl, she ......"

"Don't persuade anyone today!" Ruan Wenzhong waved his hand fiercely, "To do such a bastard thing, no one can persuade you!" Fu'er, tie up this evil obstacle for me and send it to the Jingzhao Yamen! If the yamen wants to kill or fight, my prime minister's mansion has nothing to say! ”

This time, Ye Han was not there, and a few little guys were bold and broke in: "Miss, offended!" ”

Ruan Qingzhi ignored the little guys, only looked up at Ruan Wenzhong, and was aggrieved: "Dad, why? ”

"Put away your pretentious face!" Ruan Wenzhong was even more angry, "Something with a wolf's heart and a dog's lungs!" The Queen Mother summoned you, hasn't she made it clear to you? You still dare to go back to the house, do you have to drag the prime minister's mansion into the water or what? You go to Jingzhao Yamen for me as soon as possible, maybe my father can protect your whole corpse! ”

When the relatives and maids heard that it was so serious, no one dared to come forward to persuade them, so they could only stand back against the wall and look at the father and daughter in the hall in horror.

Ruan Qingzhi burst into tears, weak and helpless: "My daughter can't understand her father's words...... Why go to Jingzhao Yamen? My daughter doesn't know what crime she has committed! ”

"Daddy!" Ruan Biyun hurriedly walked over, grabbed Ruan Wenzhong's sleeve and glanced at him.

Ruan Wenzhong flicked his sleeves and pushed her away: "Yun'er, don't worry about it!" This evil obstacle has bought off your secret guards, plotted to kill your grandmother, killed your mother, and committed many crimes, and there is no atonement for death! Do you still want to intercede for her now......"

"Father!" Ruan Bijun finally got anxious.

Ruan Wenzhong paused, and his tone softened: "Yun'er, don't be afraid, when these things are over, my father will help you pick a few more guards." ”

"No, father......" Ruan Biyun was anxious and angry, and she couldn't understand for a while, so she held back her tears.

Ruan Qingzhi had already anticipated the scene at this moment, and she was extremely comfortable with it: "Father, my daughter still doesn't understand!" Didn't Ah Bao Ah Hu already confess his guilt and commit suicide, why did he push it on his daughter's head again? Why did my father start to meddle in the case of Jingzhao Yamen now? Also, the queen mother summoned her daughter into the palace to ask about the recipe for health soup, why did it become a big sin for her daughter? Could it be that the father is looking forward to the queen mother's phoenix body getting worse and worse, so he doesn't allow his daughter to help the queen mother recuperate? - Father, is our family finally going to rebel? ”

Ruan Wenzhong was stunned for a moment when he heard that Ah Bao and Ah Hu had confessed, and the health soup or something behind him was even more inexplicable. It wasn't until the last sentence was shouted loudly that he finally woke up with a shudder, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat: "Evil obstacle! What are you talking nonsense about! ”

Ruan Qingzhi was so frightened that he took two steps back and burst into tears: "Father, you spoke crazy first!" When did I buy Yun'er's secret guard, and when did I murder my grandmother and kill my mother? Father, if I had done something like that, would I still be human? The sin of killing my mother is not tolerated by heaven and earth, and it will definitely thunder and fall into the eighteenth layer of hell, don't I know? If someone else killed my mother, and I knew about it, I would have fought for my life to crush that person's bones and ashes! ”

Although she cried hard, her eyes were always round, staring at Ruan Van Trung's face without blinking.

Sure enough, after she said so many words, the biggest change in Ruan Wenzhong's expression was the moment when she heard the assumption of "I know it".

Sure enough, Luan Yuniang's death still has an inside story!

Ruan Van Chung's expression quickly adjusted, shocked and angry: "What nonsense are you talking about!" ”

The Li family had already seen some doorways at this time, and hurriedly hugged Ruan Qingzhi, raised his head and said to Ruan Wenzhong: "Big brother, are you drunk and confused?" We all know that your sister-in-law is sad when she goes, but no matter how sad you are, you can't use wine to drown your sorrows, let alone scold your children with wine! Look at how scared your kids are! ”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly improved.

Let's just say, how can I send my daughter to Jingzhao Yamen to ask for guilt, it turns out that I am drunk and confused!

When the father is confused, when the daughter is young and ignorant, she doesn't choose what to say, isn't it more scary to talk in a hurry? It's really ...... to even say something rebellious

At that moment, everyone came forward to persuade each other with palpitation, pity and amusement, and Ruan Wenzhong finally realized from everyone's words that he had made a mistake in his recklessness.

Why, Ah Leopard Ah Hu died? Didn't bite out of the pipe, and didn't let that evil obstacle take the blame?

So, what did the Queen Mother do when she saw her? Why did you change your mind about what you said was good?

Ruan Wenzhong was anxious in his heart, and stared at Ruan Qingzhi again and asked, "Evil obstacle, what the hell are you-"

Before he finished speaking, Ruan Qingzhi had already interrupted hurriedly: "Father, what happened to you with my companion moon?" You almost crippled Xieyun last month, and yesterday you sent Ye Han into the Jingzhao Yamen, and now it's finally your turn to accompany the moon? Father, there are only three people around me......"

"No, sister," Ruan Biyun hurriedly explained, "Banyue was just sent to Chung Mi, and no one bullied her!" You know, there are a lot of people in the house in the past two days, and the saved polished rice is not enough, so the idle people in each courtyard have gone to the kitchen to help! ”

I believe you're a ghost! Ruan Qingzhi scolded in his heart.

What age is this, and you still use stupid methods to cook rice? What's more, it's hard for adults to do this kind of hard work, and it's not obvious to torture people to let the little girl do it!

At this moment, the others in the mourning hall obviously knew the inside story, and they looked at Ruan Biyun's gaze with some disapproval. Ruan Qingzhi noticed it, so she no longer looked for the root cause, and directly ordered Fu'er to call her back with the moon.

Ruan Biyun felt a fever on her face, and wanted to explain something, so Ruan Qingzhi took her hand and said, "I know that the house is busy and short of manpower, but I really want to call it back to use it." I promised to dispense medicine for the Queen Mother to treat her leg disease, but the time was urgent, and I was afraid that I would not be able to run errands alone with Yiyun. ”

"You...... Do you want to see the Queen Mother? Ruan Bijun looked up at her with a stiff expression on her face.

"Yes," Ruan Qingzhi held her arm and looked more intimate, "There is a chrysanthemum banquet in the Chongyang Palace the day after tomorrow, and the Queen Mother has ordered the two of us to go together." I think I'll take the medicine with me when the time comes, so I don't have to make a trip. ”

Ruan Biyun was stunned and didn't come back to her senses for a long time.

Ruan Qingzhi quickly let go of his hand, turned around and held Yiyun's shoulder and said, "Let's go back." Don't worry, my father will give us back. ”

The two stepped out of the door, Ruan Biyun suddenly took a few steps and caught up again, grabbed Ruan Qingzhi's arm and asked in a low voice, "What do you want?" What do you want to do?! ”

Ruan Qingzhi saw that there was no one else next to him, so he also lowered his voice and chuckled: "Whatever you want, I want to do." What others snatched from me, of course I want to get it back. ”

"Why are you?!" Ruan Bijun gritted her teeth.

Ruan Qingzhi looked at her eyes with a smile: "Yes, it's justified." ”
