Meng Qingling took Meng Qingting back to the inner city, settled her in a village left by her biological mother, and explained to her subordinates to serve her, and left.

She wants to hear about the crown princess, so she will go back to Anlebo Mansion to try.

"Uncle, second ...... Miss Meng Qingling asked to see her. The housekeeper of the Anlebo Mansion walked into the study, bowed slightly, and said to Anlebo.

An Lebo raised his head and frowned, "What is she here for?" ”

The housekeeper hesitated for a moment before saying, "Miss Meng said that she has a way to prove her background. ”

An Lebo's hand on the table stiffened, and he said after a while, "You say, how can she prove her background?" ”

The butler nodded, "That's what she said." ”

"Then let her in," After all, it is a daughter who has been hurting for more than ten years, An Lebo's feelings for Meng Qingling are extremely deep, and he was angry before, so he tried to punish her, but now that so long has passed, the resentment in his heart has long faded. When we meet, let's see if she's doing well.

"Yes, uncle!" Steward Meng agreed and withdrew.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Meng Qingling was brought in, and after she entered the door, she only glanced at An Lebo from a distance, her eyes were red, and tears were falling.

"The unfilial daughter Qingling visits her father." She knelt down weakly and bonelessly, and bowed emotionally.

An Lebo raised his chin, a touch of helplessness flashed in his eyes, and he said in a detached tone, "I'm not your father, don't call me that." ”

Meng Qingling heard An Lebo say this, her tears fell even more fiercely, and she choked up, "Father, do you really disown your daughter?" As she spoke, she looked at An Lebo with sad eyes.

An Lebo pursed his lips, closed his eyes, let out a long sigh, opened his eyes again, and said, "Didn't you say that you have a way to prove your background?" How are you going to prove it? ”

Meng Qingling heard An Lebo say this, lay on the ground and kowtowed again, and then said, "Back to my father's words, my daughter has been living in the charity hall in the capital for the past year. Dr. Li in the charity hall told me that if alum is added to the water, even the blood of my closest relatives will not dissolve together. ”

"You mean, the water that drips blood and recognizes relatives was tampered with?" Amber took a deep breath and asked her rhetorically.

Meng Qingling shook her head, "My daughter doesn't know, my daughter just doesn't want to be so miserable and regret for the rest of her life." So my daughter came back, and I wanted my father to prepare the water himself, and we would try again. ”

An Lebo heard the key point in Meng Qingling's words, and he vaguely understood, "Do you believe your eldest sister?" ”

Meng Qingling did not speak.

"That's it, let's try again, I'll prepare the water myself," he said, and he stood up and walked out.

Meng Qingling watched An Lebo leave, and felt slightly relieved, as long as his father was angry, as long as his father still cared about her daughter in his heart.

A quarter of an hour later, An Lebo came in with a bowl of water, closed the door, and said to Meng Qingling on the ground, "Get up!" ”

Meng Qingling got up from the ground and followed An Lebo to the table, she took off the sharp hairpin on her head, first pricked her hand, dripped a few drops of blood, and then handed the hairpin to An Lebo.

Elobert pricked his finger and dripped a drop of blood into it.

In the porcelain bowl, five drops of blood slowly swirled, and finally, they dissolved together at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.

"Father!" Meng Qingling raised his head and looked at An Lebo excitedly, his round eyes full of tears.

An Lebo looked at the porcelain bowl in front of him in a daze, but he didn't react for a long time, until Meng Qingling couldn't control his excitement and threw himself into his arms, he trembled his lips, trembled his hands, slowly put his hand on Meng Qingling's shoulder, and said, "Okay!" Daddy's good ling'er, it used to be that Dad was sorry for you......"

"I don't blame Dad, I know it's not Dad's fault!"

"Good Ling'er......" An Lebo was comforted by his daughter, and his tone choked up.

The Four Princes' Mansion.

Since Xiao Ze divorced Meng Qingling, he has been drunk in the study all day long.

On this day, Song Yuniang was bold and sneaked into the study, she covered her nose, passed through the strong smell of wine, and walked behind the screen.

Behind the screen, Xiao Ze had already drunk seven or eight pots of save, he heard the footsteps, and subconsciously raised his head to look in the direction where the footsteps came.

"Qing, Qing court......" In the drunken haze, he squinted and shouted in a trance.

"Shiro!" Song Yuniang endured the discomfort, squatted down in front of Xiao Ze, frowned, and said softly, "Shiro, why do you drink so much?" ”

Xiao Ze looked at her and smiled bitterly, suddenly pounced forward, pinched Song Yuniang's chin hard, and said with a broken heart, "Qing Ting, why are you doing this to me, I am so good to you, I have liked you for so many years, I can give you anything, for you I can not even want my life, why are you doing this to me, why?" ”

Song Yuniang was pinched by Xiao Ze so painfully that her chin was about to be abolished, and it was at this time that she reacted, Xiao Ze recognized the wrong person.

Her eyes flowed, she pondered for a moment, the corners of her lips hooked, she simply pressed his hand, and said in a coquettish voice, "Shiro, all this is Qing Ting's fault, Qing Ting will never make you angry again in the future, can you forgive Qing Ting this time?" ”

"Are you telling you true?" Xiao Ze asked in a daze.

Song Yuniang approached him and kissed him lightly on the corner of his lips, "Really, in the future, I won't make Shiro angry anymore, I will accompany you, never abandon you for the rest of my life, and give you everything I have!" ”

"Give me everything you have?" Xiao Ze didn't know what to think, and his voice was a little hoarse.

Song Yuniang didn't say anything, she leaned forward and kissed Xiao Ze's lips directly, "...... Is that enough? She licked the wine stain from his lips and asked seductively.

"No, not enough!" Xiao Ze muttered, stood up with Song Yuniang's arm, bent down to pick up Song Yuniang, and led her towards the bed not far away......

A few days later, the National Teacher's Mansion.

When Lu Nianjin learned that Song Yuniang had eaten Xiao Ze, he just smiled faintly and didn't mention it again, "What happened to Meng Qingling?" After a pause, she changed her words and asked again.

Yun Shu said, "As the girl expected, Miss Meng Er is indeed An Lebo's biological flesh and blood, and now, she has returned to the Bofu as a young lady, and the Charity Hall is no longer there." ”

"What about Meng Qingting? What has Miss Meng Er done to her these days? ”

Yun Shu shook her head, "Second Miss Meng only asked the maidservant girl and the house doctor to serve Meng Qingting, and there were no other orders. ”

"Hmm," Lu Nianjin nodded, picked up the newly concocted medicinal smoke, and walked out.

Yun Shu hurriedly followed, and only stopped at the door of the bedroom.

Lu Nianjin went directly into the bedroom, she put on the new medicine smoke, and then sat down on the edge of the bed, and asked Xiao Xun, who was leaning on the pillow, "How does the prince feel today?" ”

Xiao Xun glanced at her gently, "It's okay." ”

"It's good if there is no discomfort," Lu Nianjin nodded, tucked the corners of the quilt for him again, and said, "This medicinal fumigation is to help the prince improve his physique, and it will take two or three months to use it, and only when the prince's body improves can it be officially detoxified." Otherwise, I am afraid that the prince will not be able to bear the medicinal properties of attacking those poisons with poison. ”

Xiao Xun nodded, "Everything is up to you, what you say, this palace will be." ”

"Hmm." Lu Nianjin responded lightly.

After a while, Xiao Xun looked at her side face and said, "Is Miss Meng awake?" ”

Lu Nianjin was slightly stunned when he heard this question, and then remembered to answer, "I'm already awake." ”

"Then how are you going to ask her about her past life?"

When Lu Nianjin heard this, she shook the hand hidden under the wide sleeve with a weak heart, can she say that she has already asked?

"What do you want to do with this palace!" Xiao Xun saw that she was distracted, and raised his hand and tapped her lightly on the forehead.

Lu Nianjin was knocked back to her senses, she pursed her lips and glanced at Xiao Xun, and said, "I don't want to ask now." ”

Xiao Xun: "......"

"But this palace wants to know if we were husband and wife in our previous life."

"Maybe." Lu Nianjin's eyes flickered for a moment and said.

When Xiao Xun heard her say this, he immediately raised his eyebrows, looked at her and said, "You won't have already asked, right?" ”

"How is that possible!" Lu Nianjin smirked and refused to admit it.

Xiao Xun snorted, "Why don't you dare to tell the palace about your previous life, and why do you have to hide it in every possible way, could it be that you did something sorry for the palace in your previous life?" ”

Lu Nianjin glared at him, and defended angrily, "No!" ”

"Then why don't you tell Hongu?"

"I said I don't know!" Lu Nianjin looked away, and after saying this, she got up and was about to leave.

Xiao Xun refused to let her go, when she got up, he quickly grabbed her arm and pulled it hard, and the next moment, Lu Nianjin was pulled into his arms.

"Little liar, you really don't know?" He leaned over slightly, his forehead against hers, and asked in a dumb voice with a small leap of pampering in his eyes.

Lu Nianjin's face and nose were full of his breath, and she struggled in a panic, "I don't know, I really don't know!" ”

"If you don't speak, just lie here!" Xiao Xun didn't believe her words, and threatened directly.

Lu Nianjin gritted his teeth hatefully, glared at him and said, "You are unreasonable!" ”

"Hmm." Xiao Xun nodded, "So do you say it or not?" ”

"You let me go first!"

"You speak first!"

"I ......" Lu Nianjin gritted his teeth in embarrassment, so he had to lie in his arms and said, "I learned some things about my past life from Meng Qingting. ”

"Huh?"

"She, crown prince, you inherited the throne in a few years."

“…… A few years from now? Xiao Xun asked urgently, his face was a little gloomy and a little nervous. He is now the crown prince, and he can only inherit the throne when the emperor dies. If what Meng Qingting said was true, wouldn't that mean that his father would not have a few years to live?

"Four or five years from now." Lu Nianjin said in a low voice, "I asked her why the emperor died, but she couldn't tell clearly, she was already married to the third prince as a side concubine, and she didn't know much about the things in the palace." ”

"This palace knows," Xiao Xun nodded, and then said after a pause, "In the future, I'm afraid I'm going to bother you to often enter the palace to ask for your father's pulse." ”

Lu Nianjin nodded, "This is what I should do." ”

Saying that, she was about to crawl out of Xiao Xun's arms quietly, Xiao Xun had no intention of teasing her because of the emperor's longevity, and he didn't stop her.

A few days later, news came out from the palace that the wedding date of Princess Huyang and the prince of Wa was set, on the ninth day of November.

It was also on that day that Jiang Rongyue, who had not seen her for a long time, handed over a letter of worship to the National Teacher's Mansion.

Jiang Rongyue, Lu Nianjin, didn't want to see her, but there was no way, she was her own patient, the heart of the doctor's parents, she couldn't ignore her "children", so she had to order Yun Shu to take people to the pharmacy.

She then rushed over herself.

"Rong Rong has seen my cousin!" Jiang Rongyue had already sat there waiting for a cup of tea, and when she saw Lu Nianjin coming in, she immediately stood up and saluted in a panic.

"What's wrong?" Lu Nianjin sensed something unusual from her expression and movements, and after motioning for her to sit down, he asked suspiciously.

"Cousin-in-law, the ointment you sold me before seems to have been changed." As she spoke, she took off the veil on her face and said, "I have been using medicine for the past two months, but the scars on my face have not faded......

"Slowly, I noticed that something was wrong, so I asked Hanxue to compare the used ointment with the remaining four bottles, they, they didn't taste the same at all."

Lu Nianjin heard her say this, the expression on his face became serious, and he looked at her and asked in a deep voice, "Have you brought these bottles of medicine here?" ”

"Brought it here!" As she spoke, she glanced sideways at the cold snow beside her.

Han Xue brought the burden she was carrying, took out a brocade box from it, and handed it to Lu Nianjindao, "Crown Princess, the six bottles of ointment are here." ”

Lu Nianjin took the brocade box, opened it, pulled off the stopper of each bottle of ointment and sniffed it, and at the end, said, "You are right, the rest of the ointment has indeed been stolen." ”

"Actually, it's true!" After getting an affirmative answer from Lu Nianjin, Jiang Rongyue's whole person was not good, she stared at Lu Nianjin in a panic, and said, "Cousin-in-law, what should I do now?" What about my face? ”

When Lu Nianjin heard this, he glanced at her lightly, "The most important thing right now is not to catch that thief first?" If you don't control the root cause, no matter how much ointment you buy, it won't be enough to lose. ”

"I also know this truth, I just want to ask my cousin now, what am I going to do these days?"

"What to do?"

"That's ......" Jiang Rongyue bit her lower lip and said, "What do I use these days?" ”

"Buy a new one!" Lu Nianjin said unceremoniously.

Jiang Rongyue's eyes turned red all of a sudden, and she raised her head and looked at her with some accusations, "Cousin-in-law can't ...... Give me a bottle? After all......"

"Your medicine was stolen by someone from the Jiang family," Lu Nianjin didn't want to listen to him, so he interrupted her directly, "I don't have a copper plate relationship, you say, why should I ask your Jiang family's thieves to clean up the mess?" Is it any good for me? ”

Jiang Rongyue: "......"

She looked straight at Lu Nianjin, her eyes turned even redder, and with a slight cry, she said, "Cousin-in-law, you were obviously not like this before, why are you now, why do you care so much about your relatives!" No sympathy at all."

"Talking about feelings hurts money." Lu Nianjin summed up in five words.

After speaking, she didn't give Jiang Rongyue a chance to speak, and directly instructed Yun Shu, "Send the county lord out for me, and I will also make ointment for the prince, this matter cannot be delayed." ”

"Yes, girl!" Yun Shu agreed, and then, she walked towards Jiang Rongyue again, made an inviting gesture to her, and said, "County Lord, please!" ”

Jiang Rongyue had no choice but to stand up and walk outside.

Lu Nianjin sighed twice after she left, when she first met, she really didn't see that this first beauty in the capital was such a big person.

She straightened her shirt and walked out with the prepared pill in her hand.

In the bedroom, Xiao Xun also knew about Jiang Rongyue's coming, he sat up, dressed in a snow-white middle coat, put his hands on his knees, looked at her and said, "What is the matter with Jiang Rongyue's arrival?" ”

"It's fine." Lu Nianjin smiled slightly, "Why did the prince sit up, but his body is better?" ”

"What the hell is going on?" Xiao Xun didn't answer her words, he took her hand and asked.

Lu Nianjin saw that he really wanted to know, so he had to say, "It's really not a big deal, it's just that the Jiang family has a thief, don't steal the four bottles of scar removal cream that I bought from me before, and whimsically want me to give her a few bottles." ”

"And how did you turn her down?"

"Talking about feelings hurts money."

"Ice and Snow are smart!" Xiao Xun squeezed her palm and said with a smile.

Lu Nianjin pursed his lips and did not continue the topic.

On the other side, Jiangfu.

As soon as Jiang Rongyue went back, Mrs. Jiang rushed to her courtyard and asked, "Rongrong, how is it, what did the crown princess say, did she give you a few bottles of ointment?" ”

Jiang Rongyue's face was gloomy, and she shook her head coldly, "How is it possible!" Don't say it's just a hint, I made it clear later, and she didn't do anything, but mocked me fiercely! ”

"This kid really doesn't talk about any family affection!" Mrs. Jiang was also very dissatisfied with Lu Nianjin, and after a pause, she said again, "Why don't you go to the palace with your grandmother and me to beg the queen mother again?" ”

"Not necessarily!"

"You kid," Mrs. Jiang glanced at her when she heard Jiang Rongyue's refusal, and said, "I know you're afraid of troublesome your aunt, but you don't want to think about it, our family is already stretched thin just to maintain daily use, where can we have spare money to buy you ointment!" ”

"Let's find out the thief first!" Jiang Rongyue said in a deep voice, "Otherwise, even if you can afford the ointment in the future, you won't be able to keep it." ”

Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Rongyue's relationship was originally estranged, but now that she had an idea, where did she dare to refute, she immediately echoed and said, "Yes, yes, what you said is Rongyue, it is more important to investigate the internal thieves." ”

"Han Xue," Jiang Rongyue didn't pay attention to Mrs. Jiang anymore, she looked directly at Han Xue and said, "You have called all the people who have recently entered my bedroom to the bottom of the corridor." ”

"Yes, Miss!" Hanxue said yes and retreated.

Two quarters of an hour later, she came back, walked up to Jiang Rongyue and Mrs. Jiang, and said, "Madam, miss, all the people who have entered your bedroom have arrived recently, and they are all waiting under the porch. ”

"Hmm!" Jiang Rongyue agreed, stood up and walked outside.

Han Xue and Mrs. Jiang followed left and right.

When she arrived at the bottom of the corridor, Jiang Rongyue looked at the people under the steps, and there were twelve more people.

Five of them were maidservants in her courtyard, three were maidservants in Mrs. Jiangda's courtyard, two were maidservants in the old lady's courtyard, and the remaining two were embroiderers in the embroidery room.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, looked at the twelve people below with a cold face, and said, "You guys, who has been out of the house in the past two months?" ”

"......" The twelve subordinates looked at each other, exchanged heads and ears, and finally stood up nine, only the two aunts in the old lady's courtyard and a second-class maidservant girl in her courtyard never went out!

"Who went out alone?" Looking at the nine people who had taken a step forward with cold eyes, Jiang Rongyue threw out another question.

At this time, there were only three people left, one was the first-class maidservant Hanmei in her house, the other was the embroidery lady Yunwan in the embroidery room, and the other was the first-class maidservant Fang Tian in Mrs. Jiang's courtyard.

"You three ......" A hint of coldness flashed between her eyebrows, looking at the three humans, "Do you confess yourself, or will I send someone to search your house to see if there are any unexpected items in your house recently, or a missing person or something?" ”

As soon as she said this, Fang Tian's face immediately turned white, and her eyes became erratic.

Everyone present was not blind, Han Xue walked over directly and slapped Fang Tian's face, "Miss's medicine!" Madame is so kind to your little hoof on weekdays, and you repay Madame and Miss like this? ”

Fang Tian also knew that she was exposed, she knelt on the ground with a puff, and said with tears in her eyes, "Madam, Miss, the slave knows that she is wrong, the medicine was stolen by the slave and the maid, but the slave and the maid can't help it...... The men took the slave's mother and brother and said that if the slave and the slave did not do what they were told, they would take the lives of the slave's mother and brother! ”

"Who is the person who threatens you? Who did you give those bottles of ointment? Jiang Rongyue gritted her teeth with hatred for Fang Tian in her heart, but she also knew that now was not the time to punish her, the most important thing at the moment was to get the ointment back first.

"Slave, slave doesn......'t know," Fang Tian said tremblingly.

Jiang Rongyue's face changed suddenly, "You don't know? …… Don't you want your father and brother's lives anymore? ”

In the last sentence, the threat is full of meaning.

Fang Tian was frightened, her face turned white, and she said with tears, "The slave really doesn't know who that person is, the slave only knows that she is a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, her temperament is very elegant, and her conversation is very ......."

“…… So you might have traced her portrait? Jiang Rongyue paused for a moment and suddenly asked.

People like Fang Tian who can be a big girl are generally not blind, and they will always be able to write, draw and count.

When Fang Tian heard that she could also draw a portrait, she immediately nodded and said, "The slave and maid remember, please ask the young lady to give the slave and maid a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and the slave and maid will draw the portrait of the woman." ”

"Hanxue, go prepare pen, ink, paper, and inkstone."

"Yes, girl." Han Xue agreed, retreated, and not long after, she brought the pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Fang Tian got the paintbrush, recalled for a while, and then started painting seriously.

Han Xue accompanied Jiang Rongyue to watch, and after Fang Tian finished painting, she immediately recognized it, "Isn't this the palace maid Jade Niang next to Princess Huyang?" ”
