Pingguo Mansion.

In just a few days, Mrs. Tai had a lot of gray hair on her head, and her forehead was wrinkled, as if she had suddenly aged a few years.

Seeing such a lady, He Qi's heart was heavy, and he whispered a few words of comfort in his mouth. Speaking of which, it is nothing more than "the second brother finally has no worries about his life" and the like.

Mrs. Tai smiled bitterly and sighed: "Don't worry, grandmother's old bones can still hold up." When Erlang comes back, grandmother has to comfort Erlang well. ”

"Erlang has had a smooth ride since he was a child, and he has never suffered such a setback. Grandmother was only worried that he would collapse. ”

After speaking, there was another long sigh.

He Yuan stayed in the Huangzhuang to recuperate from his injuries, and the Zheng family also stayed. No matter how anxious Mrs. Tai is, she can only wait for news in the mansion.

He Qi's eyes flashed slightly, and he said in a low voice: "He Qingshan is a hard bone, and he has been tortured for several days, but he has not been able to pry his mouth open. The eldest brother and the fourth brother should escort He Qingshan back to their homes today. ”

"He Qingshan!" Mrs. Tai gritted her teeth when she mentioned this name, and her tone was full of hatred and anger: "This He Qingshan. Over the years, our He family has treated him well. Unexpectedly, he harbored evil intentions. When he returns home, I will interrogate him personally and find out what is going on. ”

He Qi nodded.

He Qingshan is dead.

Mrs. Tai's thoughts were destined to fail.

"Mrs. Qiyu," the maid reported softly, "the second young grandmother came to greet Mrs. Tai." ”

He Qi returned home in the early hours of the morning and slept for most of the day before getting up. Wei, who is worried about his husband, waits like frying oil. Finally, I couldn't hold back and came.

Mrs. Tai nodded slightly: "Let her in." ”

……

A moment later, Wei walked in.

In just a few days, Wei Shi has lost a lot of weight, and his dress looks open when he wears it on his body. Wei Shi obviously didn't have the mood to clean up his dress, and he didn't put any fat powder on his face, so he came with a gloomy expression.

"Granddaughter-in-law has seen Grandma-in-law," Wei saluted Mrs. Tai.

Mrs. Tai sighed: "My own family, you don't have to pay attention to these false courtesies." Erlang is injured, and you, a daughter-in-law, are somehow worried about it. If there's anything you want to ask, you might as well ask Saburo. ”

A few thoughtful words came into his ears, Wei Shi's eyes turned red almost immediately, he looked at He Qi with a blank eye, and asked tremblingly: "Third brother, what happened to your second brother?" ”

Zheng's is vicious, and He is ruthless. But Wei has always been good to him. After he was injured and disfigured in his previous life, he fell into the dust and mud overnight, and everyone avoided him. Only Wei's heart is kind, and he often takes care of his food, clothing, and daily life.

Seeing Wei's appearance that he would faint at any time when he was too sad, He Qi felt a rare trace of apology in his heart, and he stiffened his heart and opened his mouth to respond: "The second brother is unstable and emotional. After the daily follow-up visit and dressing change, you have to drink a bowl of calming decoction to calm down. ”

The water in Wei's eyes condensed into tears and rolled down the corners of his eyes.

In the past few days, Mrs. Tai has also said a lot of words of consolation. It's just that no amount of comfort can get back He Yuan's right eye and intact handsome face.

When Wei cried, the corners of Mrs. Tai's eyes were also a little moist, and she cheered up and said: "Slowly recuperate, there will always be a day when the injury will heal." Don't be too upset......"

Before he finished speaking, a maid came to report with a panicked expression: "Mrs., it's not good." The fourth prince of the eldest son ordered someone to send a message back to his house, saying that there was an accident in the prison! ”

Mrs. Tai was startled, and Huo Ran got up: "Where is the person who sent the letter?" Let him in at once! ”

Wei Shi gasped and clenched the silk handkerchief in his hand hard. A hint of bad premonition and panic suddenly surged in my heart.

He Qi's eyes flashed, and he sneered in his heart.

Calculate the time, not long after they left Huangzhuang, the Zheng family couldn't wait to make a move. The plan to lure you into the urn really worked.

……

The messengers came to deliver the message to He Qi's personal guards who stayed in the imperial village.

This guard, about twenty years old, has a fierce face and a very sharp mouth. After coming in, he kowtowed first, and without waiting for Mrs. Tai to ask, the guard reported in a deep voice: "The little one is ordered by the third prince to guard the fake He Qingshan in the prison." At the fourth watch last night, someone secretly sneaked into the prison and wanted to kill people. The little ones were prepared and caught this assassin......"

Wait a minute!

Mrs. Tai frowned and looked at He Qi: "What is a fake He Qingshan?" Saburo, what the hell is going on? ”

Wei's handkerchief clenched tighter, and he looked at He Qi with a pale face.

He Qi didn't look at Wei, and said to Mrs. Tai in a deep voice, "I'm sorry, grandmother." I've been hiding something important from me before. In fact, He Qingshan had already had the will to die. After three days of severe punishment, he bit his tongue and committed suicide while pouring life-sustaining ginseng soup. ”

"At the time, I kept it a secret. made people pretend to be He Qingshan and continue to stay in prison. The eldest brother and the fourth brother were also repeatedly told by me to keep their mouths shut and not tell anyone this secret. The second aunt and the second brother didn't know about it. ”

"There must be someone behind He Qingshan. I want to use the fake 'He Qingshan' as bait to set up this game and fish out the main messenger behind the scenes. ”

"Therefore, I accompanied the driver and deliberately delayed the departure of the eldest brother and the fourth brother by one day. The people behind the scenes, if they want to kill He Qingshan, they will definitely take advantage of this 'great opportunity' to make a move. ”

"Now it seems that the plan to invite you into the urn has indeed been completed."

Mrs. Tai's heart sank straight down.

She has lived most of her life, experienced the world, and experienced ups and downs. I have already sniffed out that something is wrong with this. These days, she didn't know how many times she thought about it, and the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became.

Woe to the wall!

Wei Shi was not stupid, the strings in his brain were about to break, and his voice was strangely sharp: "Who is that assassin?" Why can you sneak into the prison of Huangzhuang and kill people? ”

That's a good question.

A cold look flashed in He Qi's eyes, and he looked at the guard: "Where is the assassin now?" ”

The guard's eyes flashed with helplessness, and he replied in a deep voice: "After this assassin was caught, he immediately bit the poison in his mouth and committed suicide. The smaller ones searched the Assassin's body, but could not find anything to prove the Assassin's identity. ”

The Second Lady was furious and wanted to throw the assassin's corpse to feed the wolves. The eldest prince and the fourth prince insisted on sending the body back to the capital to carefully examine the origin of the assassin. ”

After some disputes, in the end, I still followed the second lady's wishes. The corpse of the assassin, the small one was not able to be brought back. The eldest son, the fourth son, sent a message to the second son, saying that they were ashamed of the second son's advice. Please forgive me. ”

He Qi's expression was calm, and he said lightly: "The eldest brother and the fourth brother have done their best, I won't blame them." ”

Disbelief flashed in Mrs. Tai's eyes, and her whole body trembled.

Wei's heart was even more confused, and his mind almost became a piece of paste.

She heard every word of the guard's words. Together, they are unusually obscure and heavy.
