Volume 1: Seeking a Husband Chapter 64 Exoneration (II)
After the Song family was taken away, Qing Ruchu was also grounded, and she looked at Qing Ruxu's gaze when she left, with a mockery that could not be concealed. Qing Ruxu looked at her back with a pale face, and her lips trembled uncontrollably, but she didn't expect that she would only get such a result after spending a lot of effort.
The old lady and Qinghong are not much better than her.
Suddenly there is a huge change, and no one will be able to adapt for a while. Who would have thought that the home that thought it was peaceful and harmonious would secretly hide such terrible people and things?
The third lady pressed her chest, swallowed her saliva with all her strength, and said in a voice as slow as possible: "Mother, the matter has come to this, you must think about it, don't break your body, fortunately, Xu Er is standing in front of us with all his beards and tails......"
Hearing this, the old lady turned her gaze, forcibly took out her shock and looked at Qing Ruxu, and opened her arms with a distressed face: "Xu'er! It's all to blame on my grandmother, I didn't find out that there was such a demon at home! ”
Qing Ruxu couldn't help but have a sour nose, threw herself into her grandmother's arms and cried, together with the experience of her previous life, all the grievances and fears were completely vented at this moment......
The third lady looked at this scene and her chest tightened for a while, although this matter had nothing to do with her, but at the same time, the family, out of such a magical obstacle, she couldn't help but be frightened. What's more, when Qing Ru first calculated, Qing Ru still wanted to use her daughter.
Qing Rulan was obviously shocked, but seeing Qing Ruxu crying so sour and miserable, she still stiffened her body and stepped forward to pat her back: "Big sister, it's good to cry, it's okay......"
Qing Hong couldn't help but close his eyes, whether it was the cause of death of his deceased wife or the actions of Xiao Song's mother and daughter, it made him dazed, and he couldn't return to his senses for a long time, as if he had just experienced a big dream and a nightmare.
Jiang Rin stepped forward and said, "Sir, please take care of your health. ”
Qing Hong even forgot that Jiang Rin was still here, he adjusted his breathing, turned to him and asked, "Brother Rin, what do you think about this matter?" ”
"The biggest problem with this matter is the 'thirteen lives'."
Thirteen Lives Count, ordinary people have never even heard of such a thing, where did Xiao Song come from?
Qing Hong pondered for a moment, turned his head to look at Qing Ruxu in the old lady's arms, and saw that she had calmed down at this time, so he said to the old lady: "After tossing all night, my mother is too old to stand it, so it's better to rest for a while." Xu'er, come over with Daddy. ”
Qingru Xu knew that she had something to ask herself, so she wiped her eyes and said to the old lady: "Grandmother, don't worry, Xu Er's body is well, and she will accompany her grandmother every day in the future." ”
This is also the only thing that everyone is gratifying, the old lady looked at her and nodded distressedly, Qing Ruxu turned around and patted Qing Rulan's hand, and said to the third lady: "I'm tired of the third aunt taking care of my grandmother." ”
The third lady knew that they were going to talk about Xiao Song's mother and daughter, and hurriedly said, "You go, I have it." ”
Qingru agreed, and walked out of Songhe Hall with Qinghong and Jiang Rin. She barely noticed that it was already dawn, and the rain had stopped at some point, and the sky was clear and bright with the light of the undried water everywhere.
When they arrived at the study in the front yard, as soon as the three of them sat down, Qinghong asked, "How did Xu Er find Brother Rin?" ”
Qing Ruxu paused for a moment, and was thinking about how to say that he knew Bai Jingze, when Jiang Rin on the side said, "I met on the street that day, and the student thought that Ah Xu's body was always bad, so he wanted a friend who knew medical skills to help take a look, and by chance he found the 'Thirteen Lives'." ”
"I see." Qinghong nodded and said, "Xu'er, it was my father's negligence that I didn't find out the real cause of your illness for many years. ”
Qing Ruxu bit her lower lip and asked hesitantly, "Daddy...... Believe what I say? Don't you think I'm conjecturing? ”
Qinghong shook his head: "Your father, I'm not old and confused...... I really can't think of anyone who would spend years deliberately killing a boudoir girl, even if it is my political enemy, it should be done to me, not you. Coupled with your mother's death, it means that the person who did it must be closely related to both you and your mother. ”
What's more, the thirteen lives are so special, if they are not extremely close to people, it is simply difficult to carry out harm for many years without being discovered.
Qing Ruxu was very puzzled, "Even in Southern Xinjiang, the Thirteen Lives are extremely precious and rare things, so its antidote Ice Muscle Jade Dew is even more difficult to find!" How could the Little Song clan have? And can you get it uninterrupted for more than ten years? ”
"Unless she knows how to mix it herself." Jiang Rin added.
"What?" Qingru Xu looked at him in surprise: "As far as I know, the little Song family, like my mother, grew up in the Song family, and as a concubine, she didn't have too many opportunities to go out, how could she prepare the secret medicine of Southern Xinjiang?" ”
"Ah Xu I'......m afraid I don't know" Jiang Rin looked at her with a reassuring look on his face, and he said: "Xiao Song's biological mother is an orphan girl of unknown origin, I think, the problem lies with her. ”
"What!" Qing Ruxu was so surprised that she couldn't help herself, she immediately turned her head to look at her father: "Daddy? Do you know this? ”
Qing Hong nodded slightly: "I have also heard that the Qing family has been friends with the Song family for generations, I have known your mother since childhood, and I know a little about the Song family." But it's only that Xiao Song's biological mother is an orphan girl, and she met your grandfather by chance and was accepted as a concubine. ”
When he heard that the Thirteen Lives were from Southern Xinjiang, he thought of this, but he was a little surprised that Jiang Rin knew about it, and his eyes turned back and forth in front of him and his daughter, thoughtful.
Jiang Rin said: "After learning that Ah Xu's medicine was poisoned, I asked people to investigate a little. However, at present, it has only been found out that Xiao Song's biological mother is an orphan girl, and there is no other news. ”
Qing Ruxu groaned: "It's a pity that my grandmother and grandmother have passed away, otherwise I would have asked them directly." However, since I know that the 'Thirteen Lives' comes from southern Xinjiang, and I have a clue, I will go back to Song's house tomorrow to ask my uncle if he knows anything. ”
Qing Hong didn't stop it, he didn't have to deal with Xiao Song directly, but he was obviously angry about the death of his wife, and he also wanted to get definite evidence, pry open Xiao Song's mouth, and let her clearly explain what was going on back then. "Xu'er, your poison has all been cured?"
"Well, since my aunt gave me that bottle of Ice Muscle Jade Dew, my body has improved, and because I secretly poured out the medicine recently, the poison has been completely solved now. However, the Ice Muscle Jade Dew was used to save the second sister today, and it has been used up, if there are thirteen more lives, I'm afraid it will ......"
Qing Hong frowned when she heard this, "I don't know how many people in this mansion are doing things for her, and I don't know if there are thirteen lives, if someone is instructed by her to do something, wouldn't we regret it?" When he said this, he stood up suddenly: "I will enter the palace and ask the queen mother to give her ice muscle jade dew." ”
"Daddy!" Qing Ruxu was surprised: "If you do this, I'm afraid that this matter will reach the ears of the emperor, will it cause extraneous branches?" Qing Hong has always been trembling in the officialdom, Qing Ruxu didn't expect him to say that.
"Even so, Daddy can't put you, or your grandmother, in danger."
"Don't bother, sir." Jiang Rin got up, took out a jade-colored porcelain vase from his sleeve, and said, "This is the ice muscle jade dew that I asked someone to find, so I will stay here with Ah Xu just in case." ”
Both father and daughter turned their heads to look at him in surprise, and after a while, Qing Hong's gaze moved from Jiang Rin to his daughter, and said, "Since that's the case, Xu Er will take it." ”
Qing Ruxu hesitated for a long time, but he still didn't dare to put his family in danger, so he lowered his head and took it, and thanked: "Thank you Gongzi Jiang, if I can help you in the future, I will definitely spare no effort." ”
Jiang Rin was puzzled by her rustiness and said, "Ah Xu doesn't have to be so polite to me. ”
Qing Hong on the side watched Jiang Rin become more and more interested in his daughter, and his expression couldn't help but reveal a little complicated.
Qing Ruxu didn't want to entangle with Jiang Rin more, so she said, "Father, I'm a little tired, so I'll go back first." ”
Qing Hong nodded, Qing Ruxu bent his knees at the two, and then walked out of the study, without looking at Jiang Rin's eyes again.
Lan Zhou and Shizhou were waiting outside, looking anxious, and when they saw her come out, their expressions were still depressed, and their hearts went down. Shizhou couldn't wait to ask, "Girl, what is the situation?" Didn't the old man believe the girl's words? Why did you just lock up the lady and the second girl? Is that the end of it? ”
A series of questions made Qingru Xu look big, and she couldn't help but show a tired look.
Lan Zhou hurriedly said: "Don't ask, the girl hasn't slept all night, and she must be tired now." Shizhou nodded hurriedly, hammered his head, and secretly scolded himself for being careless.
The three of them returned to the Wuju residence, and Lan Zhou had already ordered people to prepare hot water in advance. said: "Girl, take a bath, toss for so long, relax your spirit." ”
"Hmmm......"
Soaking in the bathtub, the dense water vapor made Qing Ruxu gradually relax, and she couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief: "I survived......"
Lan Zhou and Shizhou glanced at each other, both showing a depressed look, Lan Zhou asked, "Could it be that even so, there is no way to take Mrs. what?" ”
Qing Ruxu roughly recounted what happened in Songhe Hall, and then said: "In the end, the second sister denied everything, so I have no evidence to prove that the thirteen lives were committed by their mother and daughter. ”
Shizhou said in disbelief: "Madame has killed the second girl!" The second girl actually chose to protect Mrs. ”
Lan Zhou asked, "Could it be that because Mrs. is her biological mother, she refuses to tell the truth......
Originally, Qing Ruxu was also very puzzled, but Qing Ruchu's last look made her understand why she did this.
