Chapter 22: Goodbye Shen Jing

Su Xin was full of blessings, and glanced at the maid coldly, her obsidian-like eyes were full of sharpness, and she said unhurriedly: "Father, it's been this hour, this maid is still sneaky, there must be a problem." ”

When Su Zhengnan heard this, he nodded approvingly and said

"Ran'er, you're right, I seem to have heard this maid mention Ye Xi just now, isn't it Ye Xi's maid?"

Su Xinran's eyes flashed a trace of success, she looked sharply at the kneeling maid on the ground, and said coldly

"You look up!"

The maid raised her head tremblingly, and under the light of the lantern, everyone saw her face clearly, and Su Xinran was surprised: "Qin'er? Aren't you the eldest sister's maid? What are you doing here at this late hour? ”

Qin'er's face was very flustered, she didn't dare to look at her, and stammered

"Slave, slave......"

"Tell me, what are you doing so sneaky!"

Su Xinran's face sank, and he said coldly

Qin'er lowered her head in fright, put her hands on the ground, and her lips trembled

"Miss Huisan, slave maid...... The slave maid came with the eldest lady! ”

"Eldest sister?"

Su Xinran's willow eyebrows furrowed, his face was covered with frost, and he scolded angrily

"Nonsense, it's so late, how could the eldest sister come out, it must be you, a little girl, who came out at night and didn't know what to do, slandered the eldest sister, if you don't tell the truth, don't blame me for beating you!"

Hearing this, Qin'er's face turned pale, trembled all over, and said tremblingly: Third Miss, the slave maid told the truth, in fact, it was because of the eldest lady, and the slave maid found that the eldest lady sneakily came out of the Ice Heart Pavilion during the vigil, so the slave maid felt very strange, so she followed her, and found out that she found ......"

Su Xinran frowned and said sharply

"What do you find, you say!"

Qin'er looked panicked, and her lips trembled

"The slave maid found out, and found that the eldest lady had gone to Xunyou Garden, met the eldest lady, stayed in it for a long time, and did not come out for a long time, the prime minister said, no one is allowed to visit the lady, otherwise the family law will serve, so, slave maid, slave maid is very scared, so I want to go back quickly, but I didn't expect to meet you."

"What do you say! Ye Xi went to see Shen Jing! ”

Hearing Qin'er's words, Su Zhengnan was furious, and his face turned pale.

Su Xinran's face was gloating, and there was uncontrollable smugness in her eyes, she pretended to be worried and said softly

"Father, you can't easily believe this maid's words alone, I think we should hurry up and take a look, and we'll know."

Su Zhengnan Tieqing's face softened slightly, but he was still a little stiff, and said coldly

"Steward Chen, bring this girl to me, I'll see if it's true or not!"

Su Zhengnan's face was covered with frost, the road that originally took an hour only took half an hour, and when he entered Xunyou Garden, there were weeds everywhere, broken bricks and tiles, and it looked like it had been abandoned for a long time, Su Zhengnan couldn't help frowning, Gu Qingwei's face was expressionless, a trace of disgust crossed her eyes, and she couldn't help but pout.

"Ahem!"

A gust of wind blew, it was cool, the dead leaves on the ground were blown up, and the dust was everywhere, Gu Qingwei couldn't help coughing a few times, covering her nose with a Xiupa, and her tone was very disgusted: Is this a place where people live? It's been a long time since I've been cleaning, and my sister has been in poor health, how can she still live in this kind of place.

Originally, Su Zhengnan was in a very bad mood, but now seeing this situation, not only does the courtyard look deserted for a long time, but there is not even a maid and a grandmother, although he is disgusted with Shen Jing, but he also does not abuse her, treats her badly, and sends her delicious food and drink every day, and none of the servants are dismissed, what is going on now?

Su Zhengnan looked at Gu Qingwei, the steward of this Prime Minister's Mansion has always been in charge of Qingwei, he couldn't help but ask

"Qingwei, what's going on, I've always handed over my wife to you to take care of, what's the situation in this courtyard now?"

Gu Qingwei was stunned for a moment, she didn't want to call it in her heart, she blamed her for forgetting to ask someone to clean up this place in order to deal with Su Yexi, which aroused Xiang Ye's suspicions, but it doesn't matter, wait a while, it is Su Yexi's death, how can Xiang Ye care about this little thing?

Thinking of this, Gu Qingwei felt a little calmer, she pretended to be aggrieved, her tears were hazy, and she said sadly

"Xiangye, the concubine doesn't know, the concubine manages this huge prime minister's mansion every day, no matter how tired she is, she thinks about her sister every day, and sends her delicious food and drink, her sister is sick, and it is also the best medicine for her, the best doctor she invited, and the concubine body also came over with Xiangye today, only to find that my sister has no one to serve here, and she blames the concubine body, and the concubine is derelict in her duties."

Gu Qingwei's voice was charming, soaked in bone marrow, and her face was full of sadness, Su Zhengnan couldn't bear to look at it, and regretted doubting her for a while.

Su Zhengnan patted her hand and said apologetically

"Qingwei, I'm sorry, I shouldn't doubt you, I believe you, thanks to you for managing this prime minister's mansion for so many years, it's really hard for you."

Gu Qingwei's eyes crossed a trace of success, she nodded aggrievedly, and said softly

"It's okay, don't blame Xiangye, Xiangye, let's hurry up and see my sister, in case there is really a thief, or the eldest lady is really in my sister's room, Xiangye, don't blame the eldest lady too much."

Su Zhengnan nodded and instructed Steward Chen

"Steward Chen, you take someone to search in this Xunyou Garden."

"Yes, Xiangye"

After speaking, Su Zhengnan, Su Xinran, Gu Qingwei and some other maids and grandmothers walked towards the room where Shen Jing lived, and the guards at the door were all sitting on the steps chatting, knocking melon seeds, and when they saw the comer, they were shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward, hunched over, and said in unison

"The slave has seen the prime minister, Aunt Gu, and the second miss."

A nameless light quickly flashed in Gu Qingwei's eyes, and then her face sank, and she scolded angrily with a cold face: "Let you take care of Madame here, are you so lazy, what do you look like one by one, let me ask you, have you found any suspicious people coming here?" ”

The family members looked at each other, and one of them, who looked Sven, said silently

"Looking back at my aunt, no, the minions didn't find any suspicious people."

Gu Qingwei approached Su Zhengnan and whispered

"Xiangye, it seems that the thief didn't come to my sister's side, I just don't know if the eldest lady is inside."

Su Zhengnan's expression was grim, his lips were tightly pursed into a line, and he said coldly

"If you're not inside, just go in and see."

As soon as the words fell, Su Zhengnan kicked open the room, and suddenly, everyone was stunned, the room was very dark, there was a bed, a table, the window was tightly pasted with paper, and an oil lamp was lit on the table, which looked like it was about to run out.

Shen Jing was sitting at the table, embroidering something, wearing thin clothes, her face and lips were pale, and she was coughing from time to time.

Hearing the voice, both of them looked towards the door, and when they saw Su Zhengnan, Shen Jing was stunned, a little panicked for a while, and hurriedly put down the needle and thread and asked for peace.
