In the Xiaoyue Building of Chunshan, Jiang Rin and Qing Ruxu had already entered the private room.

"I don't know what Gongzi Jiang is looking for me?"

Jiang Rin didn't beat around the bush, took out a palm-sized brocade box from his sleeve and handed it to her: "You open it and take a look." ”

Qing Ruxu was slightly surprised, stretched out his hand to take the brocade box and opened it, and saw that there was a carved jade bracelet lying inside, the clear jade was like smoke and fog floating a few wisps of blue color, the transparent part was carved into a lotus, and the blue part was carved into a lotus leaf, the carving was extremely fine, even if Qing Ruxu had seen a lot of treasures since he was a child, but he had never seen such a ingenious object.

What's even more surprising is that on one of the small lotus flowers, the lotus seeds are distinct, I don't know what is inlaid, crystal round, there seems to be water waves flowing inside, and there is a fragrance that escapes.

"What is this...... Qing Ruxu looked at Jiang Rin suspiciously, not understanding why she suddenly gave her a bracelet, it was such a strange object.

Jiang Rin saw that her eyes were full of surprise, and reminded, "You smell those lotus seeds." ”

Qing Ruxu put the bracelet close to her nose and smelled it, feeling that the aroma was a little familiar, "This is ...... The taste of ice muscle gyokuro!"

"That's right, this lotus seed is made of ice muscle gyokuro injected into pine resin to make amber, and the ice muscle gyokuro is slowly soaked in amber to give off the fragrance." Jiang Rin looked at her stunned expression, a smile appeared on the corner of her lips, and said, "Although you have ice muscle jade dew, you can't always carry it with you." With this bracelet with you, you are not afraid of being poisoned by the thirteen lives again. ”

Qing Ruxu was shocked, he actually wasted so much effort to make such a thing for her......

Jiang Rin seemed very satisfied with her reaction, and while she was stunned, she picked up the bracelet and put it on her left hand.

Qingru Xu Huishen hurriedly withdrew his hand, only to feel that the place he had touched seemed to be on fire. "I, I'......" The other party spent so much effort that she couldn't say anything to refuse, and she felt that any words of thanks were too light to match his intentions. I don't know how to repay you......"

"Since Ah Xu doesn't know how to repay, he owes it first, and when he finds out one day, it's not too late to repay it."

Qingru Xu looked up in amazement, shouldn't normal people say, what doesn't need to be reciprocated, you can use it and something like that? What's the matter with repaying it after thinking of it......

But she was relieved when she thought about it, if Jiang Rin's everything was expected, then he wouldn't be Jiang Rin!

He never does things according to common sense, which makes people inscrutable, and it is too similar to the mysterious style of the Gongwei Division during the period of Emperor Taizu, so the Imperial City Division is in the hands of Jiang Rin, and it is more and more feared.

Even Qing Ruxu felt that this kind of person who was inexplicable was really terrifying. In her previous life, she had been married to Jiang Rin for seven or eight years, and she didn't even know if he had any feelings for her.

The afterglow of the setting sun passed through the bamboo curtains hanging on the attic windows, casting thin golden lines in the room, reflecting the bracelet on Qingruxu's wrist more crystal clear and beautiful.

At this moment, Qing Ruxu almost blurted out the question, why did you marry me?

"When Ah Xu is in front of me, why is he always in a daze?"

"Huh?"

Qing Ruxu looked stunned like a little fool, making Jiang Rin cry and laugh. "If you go to the Song Mansion today, what will you gain?"

Qing Ruxu shook his head: "I only know that Aunt Guan, the biological mother of the Xiao Song family, was brought back from Jiangling by my grandfather, and I don't even know how she was there and what she was doing there." Moreover, Aunt Guan has been low-key and abnormal in the Song family's ten years, and she is very supple, and there is nothing special about it. The only thing that is certain is that Xiao Song has been friends with my mother since she was a child, and it should have been Aunt Guan's plan for her. ”

Jiang Rin nodded: "I will help you keep an eye on the news in this regard." ”

Qing Ruxu bit her lower lip, and his help always made it impossible for her to refuse. "Thank you for helping me."

"I said, if you're willing to let me help you."

After the two finished speaking, Qing Ruxu reflexively returned to the carriage, Jiang Rin stood beside the carriage and said to Qing Ruxu, who was hiding like a quail inside: "Jingzhong has not been peaceful recently, I will let Xiong Yishan and Liang Chen secretly escort you back, you can rest assured." ”

After a while, Jiang Rin heard Qing Ruxu's vague "um", and he was satisfied with Xiong Yishan to let go of the reins and let the coachman go.

Xiong Yishan looked at Jiang Rin's triumphant smile, and whispered to Liang Chen: "Childe is really treacherous......

Liang Chen was also surprised by Jiang Rin's behavior of forcing Miss Qing to interact with him, and affirmed Xiong Yishan's statement for the first time, saying, "You are right. ”

………………

When Qing Ruxu returned to the mansion, the red light of the setting sun had just completely dissipated from behind the distant mountains.

As soon as she entered the door, someone stepped forward and said to her: "Big girl, the old lady asked you to go to Songhe Hall as soon as you come back." ”

Qingru was surprised: "What's wrong?" ”

"The villain doesn't know."

Qing Ruxu heard that his feet quickened and walked towards Songhe Hall. Grandmother asked her to go over immediately, obviously something happened, but the next person didn't know what the specific matter was, so the problem could only be Xiao Song's body! Only if something goes wrong with her, the house will not be silent.

Entering the Songhe Hall, Qing Ruxu saw Bai Zhumoshan standing under the porch and guarding, "Father is also there?" ”

"Yes, the eldest lord is also inside, and the third lady is also there."

Qing Ruxu frowned, entered the door directly, and heard the frightened voice of the third lady: "The doors and windows are clearly locked, why did people disappear out of thin air?" ”

"What disappeared? Third aunt, what are you talking about? ”

"Xu'er, you're back!" As soon as the third lady saw her enter the door, she said apologetically and frightenedly, "It's sister-in-law...... Little Song, she's gone! ”

"Gone?" Qing Ruxu looked at her grandmother and father's faces, and saw that they also had a solemn face, "How could it be gone, there are people guarding everywhere, did you hear any movement?" ”

"No, nothing out of the ordinary...... At dinner, I asked people to go to Jingyou Pavilion to deliver food, and the people were still there, but when the next person went in to get the food box, the people were gone! ”

Qing Hong's face was full of iron, and he said: "This woman is really not simple. "The fact that a woman in the house can escape without attracting any attention under heavy guard says at least a few things. She has great helpers by her side, and she has nowhere to go after escaping the house! The most important point is that she lives in the back house, but there are all kinds of people around her, is it just to poison Qing Ruxu?

"Father, have you ever been to the Quiet Pavilion to see it? Did you find any flaws? ”

Qinghong stood up and said, "You go with me to see it again." ”

When everyone saw this, they all got up and went all the way to the quiet pavilion.

Previously, when the Xiao Song family was sent to the Jingyou Pavilion, it was in the name of recuperation, but now everyone went to the Jingyou Pavilion several times in a panic, and the people in the mansion thought that the eldest lady's illness was serious.

When he arrived at the Jingyou Pavilion, Qing Ruxu saw that the doors and windows were closed, without any damage, and even the tiles on the roof were inspected by Qing Hong, and the moss marks were complete, without the slightest trace of movement and trampling.

The person guarding the door, one is the dowry deer brought by the third lady from her mother's house, and he is a very credible person. One is the very powerful maid Egret next to the old lady.

The egret stepped forward and unlocked the door, and said, "The slave maid went in to get the food box, and found that the eldest lady was gone, so she immediately relocked the door before letting people go and tell the old lady." ”

Qing Ruxu nodded, the egret has always done things safely, and he should be afraid that someone would take advantage of the troubled waters to fish and destroy some important clues, so when he found that something was wrong, he immediately came out and locked the door again.

Fang Caiqinghong and the others had already come in once, but because they didn't find any important clues, the things in the room were untouched. Qing Ruxu's chest swelled with a dullness, she didn't believe it, how could a big living person disappear out of thin air?

Entering the house, there was a strange smell in the air, and Qing Ruxu couldn't help frowning: "How can there be such a big fishy smell?" ”

Hearing this, the egret hurriedly explained: "The girl didn't have dinner at home, so I don't know, today Zhuangzi sent a lot of fresh crucian carp, so the kitchen specially made a crucian carp soup that the old lady liked in the evening." ”

Qing Ruxu bypassed the screen and approached the bed, only to know why the fishy smell was so big, because the food box was turned over on the bed, and the food soup was spilled everywhere, in addition, the bedding on the couch was stacked messily, and there was a purple-brown dress worn by Xiao Song, which was also casually still on the bed at this time, stained with food.

Because the fish soup is poured, after it is cooled, it is blown by the cold wind at night, and it has a strong fishy smell.

The egret said: "The slave maid brought food to the eldest lady, so she quickly locked the door, and stayed outside the door with Lu'er without leaving for a single step. Who knows, it's just a meal, and when the slave and maid go in to get the food box again, it will be empty. ”

"You are guarding the door, do you hear any movement?"

Lu'er said: "After the food box was delivered to the house, the slave heard the sound of the food box colliding with the dishes inside, and there was no sound for the rest. ”

Qing Hong's face has always been very ugly, and he said: "It's really strange and weird! Can she still go to heaven and earth? ”

Qing Ruxu said: "The doors and windows have always been guarded, how did she get out......

Everyone had no clue, so they locked the door again, leaving the deer and egret to guard it.

Qing Ruxu returned to the courtyard to change her clothes, washed up briefly, and asked, "How is Zhou Niangzi and Yuzhou?" ”

Lan Zhou immediately replied: "Yuzhou kept begging for mercy, but Zhou Niangzi was just in a daze, and there was no movement. ”

"What about Mrs. Zhou's family? Still haven't found it yet? ”

"Yes, before the incident last night, the slave maid went to find Zhou Niangzi's man and son according to the girl's instructions, but her house was empty, and she asked the person living next door, saying that no one in their family had come back in the past two days."

"It seems that Mrs. Zhou was afraid that the matter would be revealed, so she sent the news out early in the morning and let them hide. What a more cunning than the other! She was going to give up herself and her daughter to save her husband and son. Qing Ruxu held her forehead in distress, "Now even the Xiao Song clan is gone......
