"Does the prince need to mention this matter to Xiao Siqing?" The matter of Wisteria Mansion Lu Nianjin accepted Xiao Ke's kindness, she didn't want to watch him coldly being played with by a woman in applause.

Xiao Xun pondered for a moment, and was about to answer, outside, Yun Jiang suddenly walked in and said, "Prince Qiqi, Xiao Siqing has come to the door, and he has already arrived in the front yard, and the housekeeper invites you over." ”

"I'm going to meet him first." Xiao Xun held Lu Nianjin's hand and explained gently.

Lu Nianjin nodded and watched him leave.

Xiao Xun went directly to the front yard, and when he arrived, Xiao Ke was walking around the hall non-stop.

"What are you looking for in this palace?" Xiao Xun sat down on the main seat and asked.

Xiao Ke looked embarrassed, as if he was constipated, and he spoke for a long time before he sighed and said, "Big brother, did you tell the crown princess about Tang Shui?" ”

Xiao Xun bowed slightly, "It's mentioned." ”

"Then what did you say to your sister-in-law?"

"Tell the truth!"

"Then why does the sister-in-law look down on Tang Shui?" Xiao Ke frowned and complained, "I just went to Guizi Lane to see Tang Shui, she couldn't stop crying at all, this was the first time she cried in front of me, and my heart was about to be broken by her crying." ”

"So what?" Xiao Xun looked at him coldly, "Do you want Jin'er to apologize to Tang Shui?" ”

"I didn't mean that, I just wanted to ask, why didn't my sister-in-law look down on Tang Shui, I was still thinking about ......"

"Don't even think about it!" Xiao Xun interrupted him coldly, muttered for a moment, and said, "Do you know what Jin'er's identity is?" ”

"I know, Crown Princess!"

"It's not."

"What's that?" Xiao Ke was confused.

Xiao Xun, "The main room!" Jin'er is the main room of the palace, unless you straighten Tang Shui, she will never be able to make friends with Tang Shui, or even if she wants to be good friends with your back house, she will be good friends with the Yuan family. "Yuan's family, whose name is Yuan Qin, is Xiao Ke's main room.

Xiao Ke listened to Xiao Xun's words, and finally understood that he was wrong.

A hint of ridicule appeared on his face, and after a while, he was embarrassed again, "But this matter has been hidden for so many years, I really don't know how to tell Ah Qin." ”

Xiao Xun glanced at him and sighed, "What do you think the Yuan family cares about the most?" ”

Xiao Ke, "Two children and me." ”

Xiao Xun was disappointed again, and hated that iron could not become steel, "...... What she cares about most is your confession, and in a woman's heart, there is nothing more chilling than the deception and deception of the person next to her pillow. Listen to Bengong's words, you better confess to the Yuan family as soon as possible! ”

Xiao Ke's face was bitter, and the whole person seemed to be fished out of Coptis water, pressed his eyebrows hard, and said, "You let me think about it again." ”

"Hmm." Xiao Xun replied lightly, "You think slowly, the palace will go to accompany the crown princess to dine first." After saying that, he walked out without looking back.

Xiao Ke sat down in the hall with a tangled face, he thought about it for a long time, and it wasn't until it was dark that he made up his mind - since it is a knife to stretch out and shrink his head, then die early and live early!

Thinking like this, he returned to the Jinyang Mansion with a momentum of "the wind is sluggish and the water is cold".

In the main courtyard, after serving the two children, the Yuan family was about to take a bath and rest, when he saw Xiao Ke with a depressed face and came in from outside.

"Husband?" She called out gently, took three steps and two steps to meet her, and said, "Why is your face so ugly today, but what is there to worry about in official business, and you have been reprimanded by the emperor?" ”

"It's not." Xiao Ke dodged Yuan's hand, coldly drove the maid out of the house, and closed the door again.

"Husband, what are you going to do?" Yuan Shi looked puzzled and asked suspiciously.

Xiao Ke was ruthless, knelt down in front of the Yuan family with a puff, looked up at her guiltily, and said, "Madam, I have something to confess to you." ”

"No matter what, husband get up first and then talk about ......"

"I have a woman out there!" Xiao Ke interrupted Yuan and whispered, "Her name is Tang Shui, and she has been with me for five years......

Yuan was stunned by Xiao Ke's words, and after a while, he smiled stiffly at him and said, "Since it is what the husband likes, then take it into the mansion!" ”

said so, but her eyes were red with anger.

Xiao Ke looked at his wife like this, and his heart was also painful, he grabbed her smooth and silky Yuehua skirt, and choked up, "Ah Qin, I know I'm sorry for you, you hit me!" As he spoke, he took her hand and struck himself in the face.

Yuan choked up, withdrew his hand, and said with a forced smile, "Husband, get up, I'll go get the yellow calendar, so that I can pick a good day for Miss Tang and take her in!" ”

"Aqin!" Xiao Ke hugged her leg and cried out in pain, "I only have you in my heart, but Tang Shui, she is my life-saving benefactor, five years ago, the emperor ordered me to go to Suzhou to investigate the Jiangnan corruption case...... At that time, I was dead, my memory was lost, and she saved me......"

"Speaking of which, she is still her husband's life-saving benefactor, so let's give her the position of a noble concubine!" Yuan said, turned around and helped Xiao Ke up.

Xiao Ke grabbed her arm tightly, and after a while, he said, "Also, there is one more thing......

"Miss Tang is pregnant, right?" Yuan asked rhetorically, her face was as white as snow.

Xiao Ke didn't speak, which was a tacit acquiescence.

Yuan held back tears and said, "Originally, according to the rules of our palace, the fetus conceived before the concubine entered the door could not be left. But Miss Tang is an exception, the concubine can allow her to keep this child, and she should repay her life-saving grace to her husband. ”

"Ah Qin, you are so good."

Yuan smiled bitterly, "Husband, don't be in a hurry to thank you, I only said that I could keep the flesh and blood in Miss Tang's womb, and I didn't say that I would treat her as a lifesaver in the future." ”

"And what do you mean?"

"After repaying the grace of saving her life, she is the most ordinary concubine in her husband's house, and she must abide by the rules."

"These little things, all listen to you, lady." Xiao Ke knew how much he hurt Yuan's heart by doing this, where did he dare to pick and choose, at the moment, what Yuan said was what he said......

Finally got rid of a piece of heart disease that had been pressed on his chest for many years, and that night, Xiao Ke pulled Yuan's Dunlun fiercely.

The next morning, he went to the house where Tang Shui lived in Guizi Lane refreshed.

Tang Shui is now lying in bed to raise a fetus because of tire gas.

Hearing the familiar footsteps, she raised her face, smiled weakly at Xiao Ke, who came to the door, and said, "Husband, you're back!" ”

Xiao Ke's face changed slightly when he heard the word husband, and after sitting down on the edge of the bed, he held her hand and said, "Tang Shui, I have something to tell you." ”

"What's the matter?"

"That is, I am actually not a merchant who travels from south to north, but the eldest grandson of the Jinyang Palace, and besides, before I met you, I already had a wife that Ming Media was marrying."

“…… So, what do you want me to do? Tang Shui looked shocked, bit his lip, and asked rhetorically.

Xiao Ke didn't worry about Yuan Qin when he looked at Tang Shui, he looked at her with a light gaze, and said, "My wife is a tolerant and generous woman, and she is willing to take you into the palace." ”

"......" Tang Shui heard "my wife", and couldn't hold back tears anymore.

Xiao Ke handed her a handkerchief, stood up and said, "Think about it, if you are willing to follow me, listen to my wife's words and come to the palace, if you are unwilling, I will give you a sum of money, so that you can have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life." ”

Tang Shui listened to Xiao Ke's words and cried even more.

Seeing that Xiao Ke wanted to leave, she hurriedly turned over and got out of bed, hugged him from behind him and said, "Husband, please allow me to teach you one last time, husband, husband and wife for one day, I have been with you for five years, you are willing to let me go, but I can't give up you even if I die...... Husband! ”

"Silly girl." Xiao Ke sighed, turned around, and wiped her tears with her thumb as she said, "My lady is a gentle person, and she knows that you are my savior, and she will not treat you badly." ”

When Tang Shui heard this, his face changed slightly, he grabbed the clothes on his chest, raised his head, and said with tears in his eyes, "You told your wife everything about us?" ”

Xiao Ke bowed.

Tang Shui smiled miserably, touched his lower abdomen and said, "My child, after all, I still can't keep it." ”

Xiao Ke patted her on the shoulder gently, "The child's business, Aqin has already allowed you, you can give birth to him." ”

"Really?" Tang Shui was a little incredulous, "Can Madam really accept this child?" ”

"If it were someone else, she would naturally not allow it, but Tang Shui, you are my savior, Ah Qin, she is in my face, and she will not treat you lightly."

"I see, Madame is such a good man." Tang Shui secretly clenched his fists and said word by word.

Xiao Ke scratched her nose, "It's good to know, you can rest well, I'll come back to see you." ”

Tang Shuimu sent him out.

What Xiao Ke didn't know was that as soon as he walked with his front foot, Tang Shui pinched the starling hanging under the porch with his back foot.

The starling starling's eyes widened, staring at the woman who pinched it to death, it never thought that the owner who had been meticulous to it in the past and liked to tease it the most would pinch it to death mercilessly, and there was not even a trace of hesitation and compassion in her eyes.

"Girl, wash your hands!" Hongling, the maid brought by Tang Shui from Jiangnan, brought water over and waited for the master to clean his hands.

Tang Shui carefully washed his hands three times with soap before he dried them slowly, and when he raised his eyes, his pupils were full of indifference, "Is there any medicine from last time?" ”

Hongling said, "There is." ”

"Fry me."

"Girl!" Hongling's face changed drastically, "This is your first child. ”

Tang Shui was indifferent, "If you can't bring me glory and wealth, what's the use of him!" ”

"But ......" Hongling wanted to say something more, but Tang Shui directly interrupted her, "Don't do it, go quickly, you know I don't have much patience." ”

Hongling had no choice but to flatten her mouth to decoction the medicine.

After the medicine was decocted, Tang Shui took the medicine bowl and drank it all, without frowning.

An hour later, Xiao Ke learned about this and rushed over, he looked at the pale Tang Shuidao in disappointment, "Why are you so troubled, I said it, Ah Qin, she allowed you to give birth to this child." ”

Tang Shuijing burst into tears and said with a wry smile, "...... I know that this is Mrs. giving me face, but I can't ignore Mrs. face, this child has been more than four months, and in another six months, it will be ripe, and the life is so bad that I can't hide it from anyone. ”

"I really don't want Madame and you to be controversial because of me."

"So, let me be this wicked man!"

Xiao Ke had a calm face, and he didn't know what to say.

Tang Shui, she is too stubborn and ruthless.

Half an hour later, Xiao Ke rode his horse out of Guizi Lane and went straight to the National Teacher's Mansion.

In the National Teacher's Mansion, Xiao Xun was working on the newspaper in the study, and the door of the study was suddenly pushed open, and as soon as he raised his eyes, he saw Xiao Ke with a lonely and depressed face.

"What's wrong? Was kicked out of the door by the Yuan family after confessing? He put down the wolf in his hand, raised his head and quipped.

Xiao Ke sighed, waved his hand and said, "Don't mention it, I'm upset, if it's a brother, I'll go out with me for a few drinks." ”

Xiao Xun paused for a moment and said, "Let's go to Wisteria Mansion!" ”

The two said they would go.

Two quarters of an hour later, the box on the top floor of Wisteria Mansion.

Xiao Xun ate boiled live fish, stilted beef, and Beichuan jelly one bite at a time, while Xiao Ke drank wine one by one and spit bitter water!

"You said that the woman was sick in the brain, I told her, Aqin was willing for her to give birth to this child, but she was good, and she beat the child off as soon as she turned her head!"

"What a nervous disorder! Sick and unclear! ”

Xiao Xun just listened, but did not express a word of opinion.

He knew that Xiao Ke just wanted to find someone to talk to, and he just had to listen.

Half an hour later, Xiao Ke drank three jars of mulberry wine, drunk like mud, and fell sideways in front of the couch, Xiao Xun settled the account, and rode back to the National Teacher's Mansion alone.

National Teacher's Mansion, Luo Shen Yuan.

Lu Nianjin listened to Xiao Xun talk about Tang Shui, pondered for a moment, pulled her lips and mocked, "She did this, not necessarily for the sake of Xiao Siqing and Mrs. Xiao's face, in the final analysis, she was just afraid that the child was exchanged for saving her life, and she entered the Jinyang Mansion as a concubine and gave birth to this child, so she no longer had a reason to control Xiao Siqing and the Xiao family." ”

Xiao Xun didn't answer, just raised his eyebrows, obviously, he was thinking the same in his heart.

After talking about Tang Shui, Lu Nianjin thought about it, and then cared about the release of the autumn list, and asked Xiao Xun, "When is the autumn list usually released?" ”

"End of August!" Xiao asked, "It's about ten days." ”

Lu Nianjin nodded, his eyes lit up and said, "I really hope that my eldest brother can get a good score in the exam." ”

Xiao Xun heard the great Confucian of the National Teacher's Mansion talk about Huang Lun's situation, and knew that he was nine out of ten this time, so he held Lu Nianjin's hand and persuaded, "Don't worry, Huang Lun is fine." ”

said that as soon as the time turned, it was the day of the list.

Early in the morning, Lu Nianjin got up from the bed and instructed Yun Jiangdao, "Today's list, I can't wait for my eldest brother to come to report the good news, you quickly send someone to wait under the list, and come back as soon as there is news." ”

"Yes, girl!" Yun Jiang agreed, and while serving Lu Nianjin to change clothes and wash, he said, "The slave and maid will arrange for you to have breakfast." ”

Lu Nianjin let out an "oh".

After breakfast, she watched Yun Jiang leave, her heart and liver were pounding, and she was even more nervous than when she got the results in the modern college entrance examination.

However, the more anxious she is, the slower time passes.

The hourglass in the room was leaking, and she waited for half an hour and half an hour, and finally came back before noon.

"Let him in!" Lu Nianjin hurriedly ordered Yun Shu, who came in to report.

Yun Shu went out again and called the little guy in.

With a smile on his face, the little girl was about to laugh into a chrysanthemum, and as soon as he came in, he kowtowed loudly and said loudly, "Princess Qiyu, Huang Gongzi won the first place, and it is the Xie Yuan of this autumn festival." ”

When Lu Nianjin heard this, her heart finally settled, she glanced at Yun Jiang, and Yun Jiang immediately took out an ingot of ten taels of gold and rewarded it to the little girl.

The little guy held the gold ingot tightly, and was excited again, and kowtowed three times before retreating.

"Girl, are you going to send the congratulatory gift you prepared for Huang Gongzi now?" After the little guy left, Yun Jiang asked again with a smile.

Lu Nianjin nodded, "Since it is the middle understanding yuan, let's add three into one and send it over!" ”

"Yes, girl," Yun Jiang agreed, and stepped back.

She personally went to the Huang family in Guizi Lane with a congratulatory gift, but when she entered the Huang family, she didn't see Huang Lun, and the Huang family's aunt only said that Huang Lun went out to see the list and never came back.

When Yun Jiang heard this, a trace of bad premonition surged in her heart, she put down the congratulatory gift, said hello to the Huang family's aunt, turned her head and left the Huang family, and rushed to the place where the list was placed.

When I arrived at the place where the list was released, there were not many people in front of the list, only a pool of blood lying there.

Yun Jiang was even more panicked in her heart, she looked around, but she couldn't find passers-by, so she had to walk towards the nearby guards, took off a silver bracelet in her hand, stuffed it, and asked, "Big brother, what happened in front of the list just now, I see that there is a pool of blood there, can someone fight in front of the list?" ”

For the sake of the silver bracelet, the guard did not drive Yun Jiang away, but whispered what happened in front of the list just now.

After the list was released, Huang Lun's little guy found that his master was very happy, so he cheered, and later, I don't know how, it caused the jealousy of the two candidates, they didn't say that Huang Lun's solution was cheating, saying that he was a noble man who climbed the capital, and climbed to the examiner Yang Taifu, and got the test questions in advance, so he did so well in the exam.

When Huang Lun's little servant heard that the two people in front of him had slandered their master, they scolded angrily and farted at that time!

Then the two gangs fought.

In addition, there are so many candidates around who have not passed the exam, and they are indignant in their hearts, as soon as they heard that Xie Yuan in front of them was cheating, they didn't care whether it was true or not, they rolled up their sleeves and went on.

Huang Lun was weak, and he was almost beaten to death by a group of people.

It wasn't until Xiao Ke passed by later that he called a messenger and took Huang Lun, along with Su Yan and Wang Ji, to the prison of the Criminal Department......

This is how things happened, after Yun Jiang heard this, her face turned pale, she clenched her fists tightly, and squeezed it with a clattering sound.

At that moment, he didn't dare to delay any longer, and rushed to the prison of the Criminal Department.

She made Yinzi go in and glanced at Huang Lun, and made sure that he was not worried about his life, so she left with peace of mind.

National Teacher's Mansion, Lu Nianjin waited for a long time and didn't wait for Yun Jiang to come back, and he was also in a hurry.

Just when she finally couldn't help it and was about to tell Yun Shu to take a trip to Guizi Lane, Yun Jiang walked in with a black face and a meteor.

"What's wrong?" Lu Nianjin's face changed, and he hurriedly asked, "But what happened to Guizi Lane?" ”

Yun Jiang snorted angrily and told Su Yan and Wang Ji about slandering Huang Lun under the list, causing Huang Lun to be besieged.

After Lu Nianjin listened, her face became more and more unsightly, she stroked her lower abdomen and asked, "That big brother is worried about his life, have you ever gone to the prison to see him?" ”

"Go!" Yun Jiang said, "Huang Gongzi doesn't have to worry about his life, he just ...... You will not be able to participate in scientific expeditions in the future. ”

"What does that mean?" Lu Nianjin's voice trembled.

Yun Jiang's tone became more and more indignant, "Those candidates who landed were so bad that they didn't fight Huang Gongzi elsewhere, they just stepped on Huang Gongzi's right hand desperately one by one...... After Xiao Siqing arrived, he asked a doctor to treat Huang Gongzi, and the doctors said that Huang Gongzi's right hand was useless, and he could no longer hold a pen in the future. ”

"Excessive!" Lu Nianjin slapped the table vigorously and said sharply, "These people are really too much!" ”

"Girl, you must be the master of Huang Gongzi, he won the first place in the autumn examination, maybe he will be the champion in the future, but now he can only stop lifting people, it's a pity."

Lu Nianjin didn't know that Huang Lun was a pity, those lemon essences were dirty.

But now it's not the time to say this, Huang Lun's revenge, even if he doesn't need her, the prince will avenge him. The most important thing at the moment is to appease Huang Lun, and he must not let him vent his anger and slump from now on.

Thinking like this, she raised her head and commanded Yun Jiang in a solemn voice, "Go and let people prepare the carriage, I will go to the prison to see the eldest brother!" ”

Hearing this, Yun Jiang hesitated slightly with a straight face, looked at her belly, and said, "The girl is pregnant now, isn't it good to go to a gloomy place like the prison?" ”

"Who said I'm going to prison?" Lu Nianjin glanced at her, "It's not that Xiao Siqing is there, just let him take the eldest brother to the back office of the Criminal Department, I just want to help the eldest brother deal with the wound." ”

"Then the slave will go and let someone prepare the car," Yun Jiang said, and retreated.

It didn't take long for her and Yun Shu to help Lu Nianjin into the carriage.

The coachman shook off his whip vigorously and drove the carriage straight to the punishment department.

Half an hour later, the carriage stopped at the Punishment Department.

Lu Nianjin helped Yun Jiang's men get out of the car, and when they got closer, Yun Jiang gave the messenger a bag of silver and said, "Please inform Xiao Siqing, just say that our girl wants to see her." Our girl's surname is Lu. ”

The messenger collected the money and hurriedly went in to report, and after a while, Xiao Ke came out and stepped forward to care, "Why is my sister-in-law here?" ”

Lu Nianjin had a cold face, "I heard that my eldest brother was injured, I want to meet him." ”

When Xiao Ke heard this, his face was confused, "Sister-in-law, big brother? Who is it? "There are no men in the second room of the Chengguo Mansion.

"Huang Lun!"

Xiao Ke reacted, "It turns out that Xie Yuanlang is the eldest brother of my sister-in-law, so I will say, how can the eldest brother care so much about a scholar." ”

"Take me in!" Lu Nianjin was worried about Huang Lun and was in no mood to say anything else to Xiao Ke, so he interrupted him directly.

When Xiao Ke heard this, he hurriedly turned half of his body and said, "Sister-in-law, please!" ”

Lu Nianjin followed him and walked inside.
