Until the carriage walked away and no longer heard the sound, Ji Qing's heart was still beating very fast.

She clutched the handkerchief tightly in her hand, and crumpled the good silk handkerchief, which was embroidered with pink lotus flowers, which was also not in shape.

But Ji Qing himself didn't seem to be aware of it.

Honeysuckle and Holly glanced at each other, but neither dared to speak.

Especially honeysuckle, her fingers are all red now, and only she knows how hard Ji Qing squeezed her hand.

Master......

Is this meeting someone you know?

If they were not mistaken, the one who called the master was a lady who was about half a hundred years old.

What is the relationship between the master and the lady?

Why would the master pretend not to hear?

All kinds of doubts arose in the hearts of the two maids.

Ji Qing was unaware.

When she heard that familiar and unfamiliar voice, Ji Qing seemed to be taken back to the time when the Ji family had not had an accident before, when she often went to her grandfather's house with her mother, and every time her aunt saw her, she would raise a smile and call her "Ruyi".

The smiling voice seemed to have passed through the barrier of time, completely overlapping with the voice she had heard earlier.

That's right, it was Ji Qing's aunt Wang who called her outside Zhiyuan's study before.

The Lu family has two brothers and a younger brother, the Lu family is a family heirloom, not only the family style is upright, but the relationship between siblings is also very deep, since Ji Qing has a memory, he often returns to the Lu family with the Lu family, and several uncles and aunts also treat her very much.

There was no warning at all before the Ji family's accident, not only the Ji family, but also the Ji family's in-laws were also caught off guard.

Later, Ji Qing was left alone, and she didn't think about asking for help from a few uncles, but she later dispelled this idea, because she knew that at this time, she was afraid that many people would be staring at the Lu family, and if she went to the Lu family at this time, she would only throw herself into the net and not say anything, and the Lu family would also be implicated.

Just as the Lu family didn't want Lu Yan to be implicated, how could Ji Qing want several uncles to be implicated by her?

So, I haven't seen it for ten years.

Ji Qing didn't expect to meet the Wang family here, let alone the Wang family, and he didn't expect the Wang family to recognize her.

After all, she wears a dark hat, and the veil on the hat has hung down to her waist, so to speak, completely obscuring her personal features.

Even so, Wang could still recognize her.

Among them, how much care and how much worry there are can only be tasted by Ji Qing.

But Ji Qing still didn't think about meeting the Lu family.

Ten years ago, she was afraid that she would affect the Lu family, and now she is.

At that time, even ordinary people knew that the Ji family had been wronged, and it was impossible for the new emperor not to know that Ji Taifu angered the first emperor by preventing the first emperor from changing the crown prince, so that the Ji family had this catastrophe, but even so, the new emperor has been on the throne for four years, but he still has no intention of returning the Ji family to a clean reputation.

If it is said that at the beginning of his ascension to the throne, due to filial piety, it was not good to immediately overturn the "iron case" handled by the first emperor, but now that four years have passed, there has been no movement, which is enough to see that the new emperor is afraid that he does not have this meaning at all.

Ji Qing wants to overturn the case for the Ji family and want to return the Ji family's innocence, but she doesn't know what step she can do or whether she can succeed, because of the attitude of the new emperor, she doesn't even know what will happen if she fails.

So......

How could she get in touch with the Lu family at this time?

It's not that I don't want to miss it, I just don't want to get involved.

After a long time, Ji Qing let out a soft breath.

Back at Xinghua Hutong, Ji Qing got out of the carriage and looked at Yuanbao: "Yuanbao, I'll give you one thing." ”

Wubao's eyes lit up: "Girl, you just have to command, the little one will definitely be able to do it properly!" ”

He was not afraid that Ji Qing would have something to order, on the contrary, he was afraid that he would be of no use to Ji Qing.

Ji Qing said: "The matter of the Guo family's paper workshop and the eldest girl of the Guo family, you go and inquire carefully, and then come back to talk back after inquiring clearly." ”

Although Xiao Er of Zhiyuan Study said a lot, he only heard about it, and what the matter was like still needs to be inquired by his own people to find out.

Yuan Bao said: "Girl, don't worry, the little one will do it!" ”

After saying that, Yuan Bao really hurried outside.

Holly couldn't help but smile and said, "Girl, Yuanbao is an acute child." ”

After walking all the way, Ji Qing's mood also adjusted, and she nodded when she heard this, "It's indeed an urgent child." ”

……

He Fu.

He Zhang returned to the He Mansion after finishing his official duties, and only then entered the second gate, and suddenly remembered that Ji Qing had moved away.

There was something wrong with him in his heart.

In the past ten years, no matter how busy He Zhang is, he will return home as soon as possible, because he knows that there are people waiting for him in the house.

Although they live under the same roof, He Zhang and Ji Qing don't often meet, even if Ji Qing will wait for He Zhang to come back, even if He Zhang comes back as soon as possible because of this, they will not meet each other because of this.

It's just that one has to wait until the person comes back to feel at ease, and the other wants to make people feel at ease and come back as soon as possible.

So much for.

For a long time, this has become the tacit understanding between He Zhang and Ji Qing.

Can ...... now

The man who had been waiting for him in the house had already left.

This made He Zhang's heart empty.

He sighed a little wistfully.

However, before He Zhang could recover from this melancholy, Chengxin greeted him.

"Sir." Chengxin's face was a little embarrassed.

He Zhang glanced at him: "What's the matter?" ”

Cheng Xin said: "The stewards from all over the house...... I want to see the master. ”

He Zhang twisted his eyebrows.

Because Ji Qing can always take care of the affairs of the mansion in an orderly manner, he has never had to take care of the affairs of the mansion, and he may not even be able to remember who the affairs of the mansion are.

These people want to see what they do, and they usually don't all want to be wishful......

Well, Ruyi has moved out.

He Zhang wrinkled his brows, and his tone was not very good: "Let them come to the side hall." ”

Chengxin breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly retreated.

He Zhang returned to the main courtyard, first changed his homely clothes, and then went to the side hall, the stewards of the He Mansion were already waiting here, and when they saw He Zhang's face, the stewards couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

When Ji Qing was there, he could always arrange the affairs of various places in the house carefully and thoughtfully, and the stewards in the house received their own errands, and they only needed to reply to Ji Qing once a day, and everyone felt that it was extremely easy to do business.

But now, Ji Qing has only been gone for a few days, and everyone is at a loss for the backbone, especially when they encounter something, they don't even know who to talk to to in reply.

It is precisely because of this that the stewards will gather together and want to see the congratulatory chapter.

There is only one master in the house, the master, and they can't help it.
