On the afternoon of the second day, Steward Qin was called to the right courtyard, Ruoshu stood at the door of the wing room and asked, "There is a man named Brother Wang in the house, what kind of errand do you do?" ”

Steward Qin's heart jumped, and he replied, "It's the young son of the old slave." ”

Ruoshu just looked at him and didn't speak.

Steward Qin paused for a long time before replying, "Take care of the accounts in the account room in the mansion." ”

Ruoshu then asked, "How did the account keeper come to the gate of the right courtyard?" ”

Steward Qin lowered his head a little and replied, "The old slave doesn't know. ”

Ruoshu said, "I don't know? That's the back and forth to know. With that, he turned around and went back to the house.

It wasn't until dinner that Steward Qin brought Brother Qin Wang to the right courtyard, and after Lan Zhi returned, Ruoshu just ate, unhurried, as if he hadn't heard the return.

Qin Daochuan looked back at Steward Qin standing in the courtyard, his gray hair fluttering in the wind, he couldn't bear it in his heart, and said in a low voice, "Talking back and forth at this time, I'm afraid there is something urgent." ”

Ruoshu said, "Everyone is dead, what else can there be urgent." ”

Qin Daochuan subconsciously glanced at Zhongli and was relieved to see that he didn't seem to understand.

Looking at Ruoshu's face again, he looked back at Brother Wang next to Steward Qin, and understood that it was mostly related to Zhongli falling into the water, so he picked up Zhongli and said, "Just finished eating, Daddy will take you out for a walk." After speaking, he greeted Zhongyuan and Ah Yun together.

Ruoshu finished eating, rinsed his mouth again, and then got up and stood at the door of the canteen and asked, "Are you Brother Wang?" ”

Brother Wang, who had been standing impatiently for a long time, only replied after being kicked by Steward Qin, "Yes." ”

Ruoshu then asked, "What are your plans for falling into the water?" ”

Brother Wang was stunned for a moment, and replied, "What does it have to do with me?" ”

Ruoshu said, "I rarely have time, so I came to ask you, if you don't want to answer, I won't ask anymore and deal with it directly." ”

Brother Wang just wanted to reply, but Steward Qin had already knelt down and said, "Madam, it was the old slave who had no way to teach his son, and he offended Madame, and I hope that Madame will spare him this time for the sake of the old slave who has only one son." ”

Before Ruoshu could speak, Brother Wang had already said, "What's wrong with me? ”

Ruo Shu didn't seem to hear it, he still looked at Steward Qin and said, "Because of this falling into the water, someone died in my courtyard, and Steward Qin must come up with an explanation." ”

Brother Wang continued: "There is a dead person in your courtyard, what does it have to do with me, you can't say that I pushed him into the water just because I passed by the lotus pond, right?" ”

Ruoshu still ignored him, and still asked Steward Qin, "I'm impatient, I hope Steward Qin will give me a way as soon as possible, and if this matter is over, I won't have to worry about it tomorrow." ”

Brother Wang still wanted to speak, but Steward Qin stood up and directly slapped him. Then he knelt on the ground and said, "Madam, as long as he is left alive, he can carry on the lineage for me." ”

Before Ruoshu could speak, Mother Liu was already standing at the door of the right courtyard, panting and saying, "The old lady said, please Mrs. and Steward Qin, Brother Wang will go to Xuanweitang to talk together." Seeing Brother Wang, who was unharmed, seemed to be relieved.

When she came to Xuanwei Hall, the old lady looked at everyone and saw Ruoshu sitting there indifferently as usual, as if this matter had nothing to do with her, so she had to open her mouth and say, "Steward Qin, you speak first." ”

Steward Qin had to tell the ins and outs of what Ruoshu had called him again.

The old lady glanced at Ruoshu and saw that she was slowly drinking the tea in the bowl, unfazed.

I had to ask Brother Wang, "Brother Wang, what do you say, what is the matter of the lotus pond, you must not hide anything, and you will tell everything about it." ”

Brother Wang finally got a chance, and said with a look of grievance, "Old lady, I am really wronged, I passed by the lotus pond that day, but I was far away, and I didn't get close to the seventh prince at all, where can he be related to me when he falls into the water." Madame doesn't believe me, she wants to wronged me, and the old lady must believe me. The three people in the right courtyard died because of the punishment of kneeling, so why does it have anything to do with me? After speaking, he glanced at Ruoshu hatefully.

The old lady looked at Ruoshu, and saw that she was still expressionless, and she was a little apprehensive for no reason.

The old lady thought for a while and said, "Lu, you said that the falling water is related to Brother Wang, but is there any evidence?" ”

Ruoshu and the old lady glanced at each other and said, "Do you still have to confront each other to admit it?" ”

Before the old lady could speak, Brother Wang had already said, "There is no evidence for empty words, and it is clear that you have wronged people!" ”

No one answered him.

The old lady had no choice but to say, "Among the people present, the three people in your courtyard are all dead, and Zhongli is too young, how to say it clearly, you probably listened to Zhongli." ”

Ruoshu stood up, and just as he wanted to speak, Qin Daochuan walked in with Zhongli in his arms.

Brother Wang's face changed obviously, and after a closer look, the seventh prince in the general's hand was already asleep, and his face immediately returned to normal, still standing there proudly.

Qin Daochuan said softly, "The nurse is not here, I finally fell asleep, everyone must be quiet, don't wake him up." ”

The old lady glanced at Ruoshu, who was standing aside and had nothing to do with herself, and tried hard for a long time before she could hold back the words of her teachings.

Qin Daochuan sat beside Ruoshu, beckoned her to sit down, and said, "I think forget it, Steward Qin is the same age as my father, and grew up together since childhood, Steward Qin's father is the retinue of the grandfather of the old country, and he is also a loyal servant of three generations in my family." If Brother Wang really did something wrong, it would be just a lesson. ”

Before Ruoshu could express his position, the old lady had already spoken, "I'm not dead yet, I can still have the final say in the affairs of this house." ”

Ruoshu stood up and said, "I haven't slept well for a few days, I really can't keep up my spirits, it's not that I don't give face, but my people can't die in vain." With that, he walked out, not giving anyone a chance to refute.

Qin Daochuan waited for her to leave before he said softly, "Grandmother, you should ask Brother Wang, Shu'er never does anything that he is not sure of, he can't escape." ”

He said to Brother Wang, "The matter of the lotus pond must be inseparable from you, you admit your mistake as soon as possible, I can still save you, otherwise when she starts, even if I save you, it will be too late, your father and mother only have one son for you now, don't lose your life for a momentary anger." After saying that, he hugged Zhongli and left.

The house was silent for a long time, and then Liu's mother cried and knelt down in front of the old lady, and said, "Old lady, you must save Brother Wang!" ”

Steward Qin also knelt in front of the old lady.

The old lady looked at Brother Wang, who was still standing there, sighed, and said, "Brother Wang, you say, what happened at that time?" ”

Brother Wang said, "I just passed by there, and I didn't get close, even if I went to Shuntian Mansion, I said the same." Her people were killed by herself, what does it have to do with me. ”

"Good!" The old lady said, "You will stay in my Xuanwei Hall today, and anyone who asks will say so tomorrow." ”

Qin Daochuan persuaded him all night, Ruoshu just didn't answer him, Qin Daochuan finally had to say, "I asked Zhongli, he really didn't get close at that time, Zhongli fell into the water really has nothing to do with him, I don't know where you got the evidence, but no matter what, you give me a face, I will be this wicked person, just teach him a lesson." ”

Ruoshu still didn't answer him, and called Lan Zhi, "Send the soothing soup." ”

Qin Daochuan said, "Why bother, drink bowl by bowl, drink too much and say that you have a headache." ”
