On the day Yuwei withdrew, Ji Ruhuan called Xiao Jinzi over and told him a lot of things to do alone.

After Xiao Jinzi saw Ji Ruhuan alone, he was just about to leave when he was blocked by Qiu's mother.

Xiao Jinzi said helplessly, "Mother, is there something wrong?" Miss told me to go out to run errands, and you will wait for your son to come back if you have something." ”

Qiu's mother asked, "What did Miss ask you to go out to do?"

Xiao Jinzi was about to speak, but suddenly remembered the young lady's instructions, so he answered, "Don't ask about a little thing." ”

After speaking, he planned to bypass Qiu's mother and leave, but Qiu's mother blocked Xiao Jinzi's way again, and stood in front of Xiao Jinzi.

Xiao Jinzi looked embarrassed, and looked at the stubborn woman in front of him, "Mother, what are you doing?"

Mother Qiu spoke again, "Say, what does Miss tell you to do?"

As soon as Qiu's mother finished asking, she heard her own young lady's voice behind her, "What does Qiu's mother want to know, just come and ask me directly, don't stop Xiaojin." ”

Ji Ruhuan was wearing a white fox fur cloak, standing at the door with a stove in her hand, looking at Qiu's mother with a smile on her face.

When Mother Qiu saw the smile, she knelt down unconsciously and said, "Miss...... , slave maid ......"

But he stammered and didn't know what to say, Xiao Jinzi looked at his mother like this, and was a little at a loss, looked at his own miss, and looked at his mother, and wanted to reach out to help his mother but didn't dare, so he simply knelt down beside his mother.

Ji Ruhuan sighed and said, "On this cold day, what do you do on your knees, get up, Xiaojin, you go and do something, Mother Qiu, you come into the house with me to talk." ”

After saying that, he turned around and stepped into the house first.

Xiao Jinzi went over to help Qiu's mother on the ground, and said worriedly, "Mother......"

Qiu's mother reached out and patted her son's hand and said, "Don't worry, let's go and do something." ”

Then he turned and went into the house.

Ji Ruhuan sat upright on the first place, stopping Mother Qiu who wanted to kneel, "Mother Qiu still stands and speaks." ”

Mother Qiu insisted on kneeling, "Miss, I'm sorry, it was the general who gave the slave maid, and the slave maid is also for your good." ”

Ji Ruhuan had already guessed in her heart, and even Qiu's mother had been reporting her affairs to her father, she knew that although she was dissatisfied, she also knew that Qiu's mother's intentions were really for her own good, and she had no dissenting intentions.

sighed, went over and helped Qiu's mother up, and said, "I know, Qiu's mother is all for my good, but Qiu's mother, I'm not a child anymore, and I can't rely on my father for everything." ”

Mother Qiu stretched out her hand and wiped the corners of her eyes, and responded, "The slave is also scared and worried." ”

Ji Ruhuan helped Qiu's mother to sit down on a chair and said, "No matter how scared you are, you will still come, just like the previous assassination." ”

Mother Qiu took a deep breath before she spoke, "The general said that if Miss was allowed to continue to investigate this matter, Miss would be more dangerous, and the slave maid was also worried about Miss, so she agreed to the General." ”

Ji Ruhuan responded, "Mother Qiu, if you don't investigate, you don't know who did it behind it, and you can't prevent it, isn't it more dangerous?"

Qiu's mother said, "Isn't there a general, the general loves Miss so much, and will protect Miss, how can he let Miss have an accident." ”

Ji Ruhuan sighed, I don't know what to say, in the eyes of everyone in this house, my father seems to be omnipotent, as long as my father is there, he can hold them up for a whole day.

But her father is also a human being, he will be hurt, he will be sad and sad, he will have his own helplessness, he is not omnipotent.

Perhaps my father thought that he was in control of everything, so he wanted to keep her under his wing, so that she would not be harmed.

As everyone knows, some things have long been out of control, will develop in an uncontrollable direction, and will eventually explode out of control.

She had a lifetime of experience, and only by knowing all the sources of truth could she stop the development of events as much as possible.

Although in this life, because of his own changes, the changes in the state of affairs are somewhat different from those in the previous life, but those big things still happened as scheduled.

In the Great Battle of the North, his father was injured and his military power was taken away.

Thinking of her father's depression and the death of her two brothers on the battlefield, her heart was like a knife.

Even if he hadn't left the Ji family and broken with his father in this life, wouldn't these things have happened?

She was scared, she didn't dare to gamble, she knew about the north, but she couldn't stop it from happening as scheduled, and she was even more worried and anxious.

"Miss, are you alright?"

Ji Ruhuan came back to her senses and replied with a sigh, "Mother Qiu, there are some things I have to figure out, such as who this Xu Steward is, and why he was obviously involved in the assassination, but Daddy let him stay in the house as a treasury steward as if nothing happened." ”

Mother Qiu looked at Ji Ruhuan in surprise, "You mean Steward Xu? How could it be? If Steward Xu is really related to this matter, the general will not let Steward Xu go." ”

Ji Ruhuan responded, "So I want to find out the identity of this steward, because I don't think my father wants to touch him, but he can't touch him." ”

Now that there are no useful people around him, he knows that Mother Qiu is really good to herself, so Ji Ruhuan has no intention of hiding Mother Qiu, but I am afraid that there are still many things that Mother Qiu needs to help do in the future.

Mother Qiu seemed to be a little unable to digest the news, and was stunned for a while before she spoke, "Miss, if this person doesn't dare to move, we can't act rashly." ”

Ji Ruhuan responded, "I didn't want to touch him, I just wanted to know who this Xu Guan was, and if there was something next time, it would be better to take precautions." ”

Mother Qiu was a little moved by what Ji Ruhuan said, and nodded, "What Miss said makes sense." ”

Ji Ruhuan pursed her lips and replied, "Then can Mother Qiu tell me about Steward Xu now?"

Qiu's mother was silent for a while before she spoke, "Before the slave maid became the nurse of the young lady, she was working in Zhuangzi, and the slave and maid were actually not very clear about the matter of the manager, but she only knew that this Xu steward seemed to be very important to the general, and she was often summoned, and occasionally took the manager Xu out, and she was very embarrassed in front of the general." ”

The more Ji Ruhuan listened, the more confused she became, frowning slightly, "Then does Mother Qiu know when this housekeeper entered the mansion?"

Mother Qiu shook her head, "When the slave maid entered the mansion to be a nurse for the young lady, this steward Xu was already a warehouse steward, but there is a little strangeness, that is, the steward Xu is not a house slave in our house, not a slave, it seems that he lives outside the house with his wife and children." ”

When the slave heard about it at the time, she also inquired out of curiosity, but she didn't find anything, and most of them didn't know. ”
