"Miss Meng is exempt, sit!" Xiao Xun bowed his head, and nodded towards the Taishi chair on the lower left with a faint expression.

"Prince Xie," Meng Qingting sat down elegantly, raised his head to look at him behind the desk, and said softly, "My intention, the prince must have let people find out, right?" ”

Xiao Xun glanced at her, silent for a moment, and acquiesced, "How do you want this palace to help you?" ”

Meng Qingting saw that Xiao Xun already had the idea of helping her settle this matter, and immediately said, "I heard that the crown princess has superb medical skills, if you can ask her to come forward and conclude that Xiao Liugongzi lost his life because of physical allergies, not that there is a problem with the banquet in the restaurant under my name, then the trouble of Wisteria Mansion will definitely be solved." ”

"You mean, there's something else to Xiao Lu's death?" Xiao Xun raised his eyebrows and asked.

Meng Qingting nodded, staring at him with eyes like water, "Just like asthma patients who are allergic to pollen and can't smell pollen, there are also some people who are allergic to nuts, leeks, and spices, which is uncomfortable at least and fatal at worst, if I guessed correctly, Xiao Liugongzi is allergic to pepper...... His death was an accident, not a deliberate attempt. ”

"Then how do you know he's allergic to pepper, not the other?"

Meng Qingting pursed his lips, was silent for a moment, and said, "Back to the prince's words, I have read a record of death caused by pepper allergy in a miscellaneous book, after the deceased consumed pepper, he would immediately suffocate, his hands and feet would be blue, his lips would be purple and swollen, and his exposed skin would have red pimples, which looked like ......."

"That being the case, you can find out that miscellaneous book and prove your innocence, so why do you need this palace to take action?"

"I ......" Meng Qingting tightened his hand under the wide sleeves, the corners of his eyes drooped slightly, and said sadly, "Back to the prince, I can't remember when I read it, and where I read this miscellaneous book, but now I'm afraid I can't find it." ”

"Prince, now only the crown princess can help me, please let her help me!"

"If the crown princess is willing to help me keep the Wisteria Mansion, I will be grateful to her for the rest of my life."

Xiao Xun heard her say this, but frowned, and said coldly, "The crown princess doesn't need you to be grateful!" ”

"Prince!" Meng Qingting's face changed greatly, and she screamed out out of shape.

Before she could speak, Xiao Xun interrupted what she wanted to say later with his eyes, as if his patience had run out, and he ordered the expulsion, "What Miss Meng asked for, this palace has already known, if what you just said is true, this palace will help you settle this matter, you go back first." ”

Meng Qingting didn't expect that after his cold face, there was a moment when the peak turned around, he was overjoyed, and he hurriedly got up to thank him, and said softly and gracefully, "Then Qingting will thank the prince first." ”

"Miss Meng will not send it if she walks slowly!"

Meng Qingting bent her knees again and made a blessing, then turned around and walked out, when she walked to the door, she didn't know what to think, she suddenly stopped again, turned her back to Xiao Xun, and said slightly, "I...... Can I call you Brother Wuxian again in the future? ”

When Xiao Xun heard this, his body was shocked.

After being silent for a long time, he closed his eyes and said, "Miss Meng is already the future Fourth Princess, let's forget about the past!" ”

“…… But I will never forget Brother Wuxian for the rest of my life. Meng Qingting said with a crying voice.

Xiao Xun closed his eyes only after she left.

He seemed to see everything in his eyes, looking at the door that had been closed, there was no half affection, only indifference and absoluteness.

The matter of Jinyang Wangfu was the last time he helped her.

After this time, his relationship with her was completely broken.

Outside the National Teacher's Mansion, a dark green double sedan chair stopped at the entrance of the alley.

Meng Qingting walked out of the National Teacher's Mansion and walked towards the sedan chair.

Seeing her approaching, the sedan chair man immediately pressed the sedan chair down.

"What, did the crown princess promise to help?" After Meng Qingting sat down, as soon as the sedan chair was raised, Xiao Ze couldn't wait to ask.

Meng Qingting thought of Xiao Xun's attitude, a little embarrassed, and after a while, he looked at Xiao Ze and said, "The princess has been a little unstable these days, and she can't get out of bed, and the prince is reluctant to let the princess suffer, so he took this matter by himself." ”

"That's good! That's good! As soon as Xiao Ze heard that Xiao Xun was willing to help, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then he hugged Meng Qingting and kissed him fiercely, "Qingting, you are really my lucky star, my good princess!" ”

Meng Qingting quietly wiped his face with a handkerchief, turned his head sideways, and said uncomfortably, "Fourth prince, please respect yourself, we haven't been married yet!" ”

Xiao Ze listened to her refusal, and his interest became even higher, "Could it be that my heart and liver are in a hurry to be my bride?" ”

"Why!" Meng Qingting did not admit it.

Xiao Ze didn't believe it, hugged her tightly, and whispered in her ear, "The wedding period has been arranged by Qin Tianjian and my father, and I can't interfere, but I can satisfy my heart and liver in advance," he said, and he wanted to move his hands and feet against Meng Qingting in the sedan chair.

Meng Qingting has been inexplicably tired of the weak and incompetent Xiao Ze since he met Xiao Xun, and now he is in a sedan chair, where is he willing to let him touch it, he glared at him with a blank face, and said, "Fourth prince, I am the future fourth princess of the emperor's marriage, and I am your main room, not those random women in Willow Lane of Flower Street outside!" You have more self-respect! ”

Xiao Ze: "......"

was trained by Meng Qingting as a gentleman, he was also annoyed, and as soon as he let go, he looked at her condescendingly and sneered, "Okay, Meng Qingting, you are not casual, then in the past two or three months, it is difficult for me to be in the study and boudoir to be someone else, you tell me yourself, except that you and I have not really succeeded, I have not touched your whole body!" Now I'm pretending to be a chaste martyr with me! Okay, the master will fulfill you, and the master will go to Wanhualou to find a sister to relieve you! ”

"Stop the car!"

The palanquin driver outside immediately stopped the palanquin.

Xiao Ze ignored the shock and injury in Meng Qingting's eyes, pulled open the sedan curtain forcefully, and walked outside.

Meng Qingting watched him leave without looking back, and then thought of the words he had just stabbed her, and his face turned red.

The six palanquin men outside didn't expect that the future four princesses, the county lord of Wensi given by the emperor, would be so profligate, and they would play with people so openly before marriage, and the eyes that looked at her at this time were unconsciously a little meaningful.

Meng Qingting was looked at like this by the two people in front of him, and immediately became angry, and said angrily, "Don't go quickly!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Several palanquin drivers responded and lifted the palanquin again......

After arriving at the place, Meng Qingting had to coerce and lure the six sedan chairmen in order to seal the mouths of the six sedan chair husbands, and the sedan chair men were all servants of the Four Princes' Mansion, who had a family and a mouth, and after all, they did not dare to offend the future housewife, and after receiving the benefits, they swore a poisonous oath that they would rot this matter into their stomachs.

Besides, Xiao Ze, he got off the sedan chair and went straight to Wanhualou.

After arriving at the place, he found that Hualou did not do business during the day, and at this time, his anger was almost gone, so he called a car and went back to the Four Princes' Mansion.

Meng Qingting has been waiting for Xiao Ze in the inner study of the Four Princes' Mansion, and after the two met, it was naturally another time, you chased me, you coaxed me to cry, and in the end, you were hello and I were good, kissing and hugging.

However, because of Xiao Ze's face-turning, Meng Qingting held a grudge in the end, and he was not allowed to put his hand in it again.

Xiao Ze regretted it because of this.

So much so that he didn't have much spirit when he entered the palace several times in a row to see Concubine Jing.

Concubine Jing felt sorry for her son, so she asked a few more questions.

Xiao Ze was naturally embarrassed to say that he was dissatisfied, and only covered it up.

But what kind of person is Concubine Jing, she can raise an adult prince in the harem covered by the queen and Lu Guifei, relying not only on forbearance, but also on being careful and transparent.

On the same day, she gave Xiao Ze the two seventeen or eighteen-year-old palace maids in her palace who were specially prepared for the Pope's children.

After Meng Qingting knew about this, he was so angry that he didn't go to the door of the Four Princes' Mansion for more than ten days!

Xiao Ze saw that the two people who dared to be rewarded by his mother were immediately sent away.

coaxed Meng Qingting again, which made her change her mind.

Changle Town, Huang Family.

After the reunion dinner, even if it was a formal confession, the four aunts of the Huang family gave Lu Nianjin a meeting gift, but Lu Nianjin had nothing on him that could be used as a meeting gift, so he had to smile and give each of the four a bowl of tea.

The countrymen are simple, but they don't dislike it.

It was getting late, and there was nothing to do, so a few people sat at the table and chatted.

Lu Nianjin has seen a lot of people, and he has read books, he can talk to anyone, and he can talk to anyone, and he can talk about any topic, and for a while, the atmosphere in the room is also very harmonious.

More than an hour passed quickly, and seeing that it was getting dark, the Huang family's aunt saw that the people from the Zhou family had not come to pick up Huang Wei, so she was a little anxious, and turned her head to Uncle Huang and said, "Old man, why didn't you say that your son-in-law didn't come to pick up Wei'er, did something happen on the way, do you want to go to the village entrance to see?" ”

"Yes, I'll go!" Uncle Huang was also worried about whether his son-in-law had an accident, so he stood up and was about to go out.

At this time, Huang Wei stopped Uncle Huang and said, "Dad, no need, Xianggong is working in the martial arts hall, and his skills have always been excellent, what can happen, it should be some errand in the hall again, I will pack up my things and go back by myself!" With that, she went back to her room to pack her bags.

Before leaving, his arm was grabbed by the Huang family's aunt, "Wei'er, since ancient times, women have asked their husbands to pick them up when they go back to their parents' homes, it's not appropriate for you to do this, or ......."

The aunt of the Huang family wanted to say that she would let her daughter spend another night at home, but before she could say anything, she was interrupted by Huang Wei, "Mother, there is nothing wrong, I walked there in less than an hour on those ten miles." ”

"But now it's dark outside, and you're a woman walking alone, and my mother is not at ease."

Huang Wei listened to her mother say this, bit her lip and was silent for a moment, and finally compromised, "Okay, then I'll stay at home for one night and go back early tomorrow morning." ”

"Good, good!" The aunt of the Huang family happily agreed, "Then tonight, let your father sleep with your brother, and you sleep with your mother." ”

Huang Wei replied in a low voice, "Okay." ”

After a while, he looked at Lu Nianjin again, "Mother, there are only two rooms in the house, what about Tingzhi?" ”

The aunt of the Huang family can be the master of the husband of the children, but it is not good to be the master of Lu Nianjin directly, she glanced at Lu Nianjin gently, and tried to ask, "Tingzhi, can you squeeze your uncle and your brother all night tonight?" Tomorrow, when your brother and sister are gone, you will continue to live in your brother's room alone, do you think? ”

Lu Nianjin is not a real man, how can he sleep in the same bed with two men, he immediately looked at the aunt of the Huang family, shook his head with an embarrassed face and said, "Auntie, I'm sorry, I'm not used to sleeping in the same bed with people since I was a child." ”

"Then what should I do, there are only two kang ...... at home" The aunt of the Huang family was also embarrassed.

Uncle Huang is really honest, as soon as he heard that Lu Nianjin wanted to sleep in a bed alone, he immediately smiled and proposed, "Then why don't you let Tingzhi sleep in the bed, and I will make a bunk with Lun'er?" ”

When the aunt of the Huang family heard this, although she felt sorry for her son, she had no objection, she looked at Lu Nianjin and waited for her to nod.

Lu Nianjin laughed dryly, glanced at Uncle Huang, and then at the aunt of the Huang family, "Let the uncle and the eldest brother lay on the floor, how can this ......be so good" Speaking of this, she seemed to remember something, her eyes suddenly lit up, and said, "By the way, auntie, a few days ago, I saw that the backyard was not leaning against a door panel, and that width was enough for me to sleep, so why don't you set me up in the kitchen first?" I'll sleep in the kitchen in the future, and I'll always wake up late on weekdays, so I can't sleep well with your uncle. ”

"If you don't dislike it, this is the solution." The aunt of the Huang family nodded, their place is too small, if they have to sleep separately, they can only do this.

"Don't dislike it, don't dislike it!" As soon as Lu Nianjin heard that the aunt of the Huang family agreed, he immediately echoed and said.

The aunt of the Huang family agreed, turned around and sent Uncle Huang to the kitchen to support the bed.

That night, Lu Nianjin slept on the two-person wide bed all night, and when she got up the next day, her waist was sore and painful, and she walked several laps in the courtyard before she recovered.

When she made the bed, the Huang family's aunt and Huang Wei also got up.

This time, Lu Nianjin did not carry a shovel to stir-fry again, but consciously sat in front of the stove and started the fire for the mother and daughter of the Huang family.

When breakfast was served, Uncle Huang and Huang Lun got up.

After the table, the two did not react much to the Huang family's aunt's return to normal level of cooking, and they looked like they could just eat and be content.

The amount of farmer's rice is real, Lu Nianjin drank half a bowl of porridge, and only ate one bun to be full.

When the others had finished eating, she helped clean up the table.

After everything was in order, Huang Wei went back to the room to get the baggage, said hello to the Huang family's aunt and Uncle Huang, and prepared to go back to Zhou's house.

Lu Nianjin thought of Huang Wei's abnormality yesterday, as well as the provincial customs handed down from Changle Town, and was a little worried about her, so he looked at Huang Lun and proposed, "Big brother, my brother-in-law didn't come to pick up the eldest sister, in order to show that our family values the eldest sister, why don't we send the eldest sister back?" ”

Huang Lun listened to Lu Nianjin's proposal, and was stunned for a moment before nodding, "Okay." ”

Huang Wei listened to her brother's words, but like a cat stepping on her tail, she hurriedly waved her hand and said, "No, no, no, no, you don't have to send me, I can do it alone." ”

"Let's give it a ride," Lu Nianjin insisted.

Huang Lun is a scholar in the end, and his grades in Baitan Academy are among the top three, he has a lively mind, and he immediately noticed the abnormality of Lu Nianjin and his eldest sister, and insisted on sending it.

On the side, the aunt of the Huang family and Uncle Huang didn't think much about it, they just thought that the three sons and daughters of the family had a deep love for their sisters and brothers, and immediately persuaded Huang Wei with a smile.

Huang Wei had no choice but to agree.

Seeing that she agreed, Lu Nianjin glanced at Huang Lun again, Huang Lun understood, stepped forward to take the burden in Huang Wei's hand, and the three of them stepped out of the courtyard together and walked towards the entrance of the village.

There was an ox cart to the town at the entrance of the village, and Lu Nianjin was pregnant, so naturally she couldn't walk, so the three of them took the ox cart.

At this time, there were already half a car of people in the ox cart, and when they saw Lu Nianjin's fresh face appear, several women immediately inquired about her.

Lu Nianjin already has a household registration and a road guide, so he is naturally not afraid of interrogation, and quickly tells his life experience.

With Huang Wei and Huang Lun on their side, it is quite thoughtful.

From the village to the town, more than ten miles of road, about half an hour's effort.

When they got off the bus, two aunts who learned that Lu Nianjin had not yet decided to marry had already begun to talk about introducing his niece to him.

Lu Nianjin is a fake son, there are no birds, where dare to pick up this topic, and he is busy using the excuse that his parents have died and kept filial piety for three years to divert this topic......

It was easy to get rid of the zealous god, got off the ox cart, paid the copper plate, and she followed Huang Wei and Huang Lun towards Huang Wei's husband's house.

Although Huang Wei's husband's family is in the town, the place where she lives is relatively remote, she followed her sister and brother around and around, and after several intersections, she entered an alley with a somewhat noisy environment.

"This is it!" Finally, at the innermost end of the alley, the three of them stopped outside a house, Huang Wei turned around and smiled at Lu Nianjin and Huang Lun, and said, "I've arrived, you guys should go back too!" ”

As soon as she said this, Lu Nianjin and Huang Lun immediately looked at each other, if the two of them only suspected that something was wrong with Huang Weifu's family before, then it was basically confirmed now! Huang Wei must have something to hide from them!

Lu Nianjin glanced at Huang Lun, and Huang Lun immediately said, "Eldest sister, I and the capital of the court have already arrived at your door, don't you invite us in to have a cup of tea?" ”

Huang Wei sighed, so far she also knew that some things still couldn't be hidden.

She glanced at the two younger brothers in front of her and said with a wry smile, "Since you want to drink tea, then come in with me!" ”

As she spoke, she went up and knocked on the door.

Soon, the door opened from the inside, and it was opened by a woman with a beautiful complexion who was pregnant with Rokka.

She saw Huang Wei come to the door with someone, and a mocking smile appeared on her face, "What, Aunt Huang has invited someone from the family to make the decision for you?" ”

Lu Nianjin said in his heart: Sure enough!

When Huang Lun heard Aunt Huang's title, his face also changed, his eyes lit up, and he looked at Huang Wei, "Eldest sister, what does Aunt Huang mean?" ”

Huang Wei pursed her lips and said nothing.

But Liniang, who was standing at the door, held the door and said with a smile, "You can't see this, isn't it that your eldest sister is a hen that doesn't lay eggs, and the Zhou family can't tolerate her, so they demote her to a concubine!" ”

As soon as the words "degrading his wife to a concubine" came out, Huang Wei's eyes immediately turned red, she turned her head and looked at Lu Nianjin and Huang Lundao in humiliation, "That's the way it is, you two just know, go back quickly...... Daddy and mother are old, don't tell them about this! ”

"Eldest sister, go back with me!" Huang Lun has had a good relationship with Huang Wei since he was a child, his eyes were red, he couldn't listen to a word anymore, and he was about to go back with Huang Wei.

Lu Nianjin stood beside Huang Lun and did not speak.

Obviously, she also wanted to take Huang Wei back.

"No, I can't go!" Huang Lun pulled Huang Wei desperately, but Huang Wei broke away from his hand and cried, "Lun'er, I can't leave!" ”

"Why can't you go?" Huang Lun turned his head and looked at Huang Wei and asked.

Huang Wei only shed tears and did not speak.

Behind her, Li Niang covered her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed again, and said contemptuously, "Your eldest sister can't leave, naturally because the concubine is trading, she has signed a deed of sale with the Zhou family, and now she is the cheap concubine of my Zhou family!" ”

"Big sister!" Huang Lun heard the word concubine, his head was about to explode, he looked at Huang Wei in disbelief, his lips trembled and asked, "You, did you really sign the deed of sale?" You're confused! ”

Huang Wei just cried and nodded.

As for why he signed the slave contract, he refused to say a word.

However, Lu Nianjin estimated that it should be the secret matter of the back house, she sighed silently, patted Huang Lun's arm, signaled him to calm down, and then looked at Li Niang who was leaning on the threshold, and said coldly, "Since you have signed the deed of sale, there is a possibility of redemption, how much silver do you want?" ”

Li Niang listened to Lu Nianjin's words, her eyes showed a touch of appreciation, and she leaned against the door and looked at the road, "Xiao Langjun is innocent, for the sake of me serving a husband with her, I don't want much, one thousand taels of silver, we will pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other!" ”

One thousand taels!

When Huang Wei heard these three words, her face turned pale all of a sudden, her eyes widened, she withdrew her hand from Huang Lun's hand, shook her head vigorously and said, "You guys go quickly, don't worry about me, you will be without me as an eldest sister in the future!" ”

"Big sister!" Huang Lun refused to leave, he pulled Huang Wei's sleeve again, and said loudly, "One thousand taels will cost one thousand taels, I'll earn it, eldest sister, I won't leave you alone, I will definitely help you get rid of slavery." ”

Lu Nianjin ignored the dispute between the two sisters and brothers, she looked directly at Li Niang and asked, "Can you be the master of the Zhou family?" ”

Li Niang glanced at Huang Wei, smiled proudly, touched her stomach and said, "I am pregnant with the golden grandson of the Zhou family, and I naturally did it for the master of their family!" ”

"Okay, just two months, these two months, you take good care of my cousin, two months later, one thousand taels of silver, we will pay the money in one hand and the other hand, how about it?"

Li Niang didn't expect Lu Nianjin to be so happy, and for a while, she couldn't help but regret it, why didn't she ask for more than 1,000 taels at that time.

But the words have already been spoken, and she can't regret it anymore, so she has to say, "Okay, in two months, you take a thousand taels, and I will sell you and return it to you!" ”

Lu Nianjin nodded, glanced sideways at Huang Wei again, and saw that there was despair floating in her eyes, she was uneasy, so she turned to Li Niang and said, "Mrs. Zhou, you'd better remember, I want a living person, not a corpse, if my cousin dies, then two months later, you won't be able to get a copper plate!" ”

"I know this, with me, I absolutely guarantee that after two months, your cousin will live well!"

"So much the best!" Lu Nianjin nodded indifferently.

Then, she walked over to Huang Wei again, held her arm, looked into her eyes and said, "Cousin, since I call you cousin, then I will definitely save you, you believe me!" ”

But Huang Wei didn't believe that Lu Nianjin, whose parents were dead, could take out a thousand taels, she looked back at her, and shook her head desperately to refuse, "I don't need you to save me, I really don't need to!" No! ”

"Cousin, you are obedient!" Lu Nianjin suddenly reached out and hugged her tightly, and quickly explained a sentence in her ear from an angle that Li Niang couldn't see.
