Chapter 53: Miscalculation

When Qin Daochuan arrived at the right courtyard, the whole courtyard was very quiet, and occasionally people walked around, but they only heard the sound of the door.

Lan Zhi and Xia Mo were on duty in the room, and after greeting him, Lan Zhi said softly: "The young lady has drunk the soothing soup and has rested. ”

After speaking, the two retreated, and Lan Zhi closed the door smoothly.

Qin Daochuan took off his coat, and after going to bed, he saw Ruoshu with his back to him, curled up at the head of the bed.

Silently helped her arrange the cushion of the backrest, let her lie down a little longer, seeing that there were tears in the corners of her eyes, Qin Daochuan took out a silk scarf from under the pillow and gently dried her tears.

Xu didn't have a good rest these days, and Ruoshu's face was a little swollen.

Qin Daochuan leaned over and let Ruoshu snuggle in his arms, and then closed his eyes.

Ruoshu woke up in the middle of the night, Qin Daochuan hurriedly comforted her, "Do you want to lean on my arms?" ”

Ruoshu shook his head.

"I can't find Aunt Lan," Ruoshu said, as if crying.

"She's back in Qingzhou, and she should like it there." Qin Daochuan replied.

"Aunt Lan always says hello." Ruoshu said softly.

"I miss her too." Qin Daochuan said.

I helped her straighten the cushions on her back.

Ruoshu suddenly kissed him.

Qin Daochuan was overjoyed, gently hugged her, and responded cautiously.

Ruoshu's hand clinged to his back for the first time.

He shifted her into a comfortable position.

Neither of them seemed to be willing to stop at the beginning, and they didn't know how much time they had spent like this.

On the second day, Ruoshu woke up and found Qin Daochuan still lying beside him, and asked him why he was still there.

Qin Daochuan said: "Rest today. ”

The two of them lay quietly on the bed, and they were not in a hurry to get up.

"Why does Aunt Lan always say hello?" Ruoshu looked at the top of the bed and said to himself.

Seeing her repeating yesterday's words, Qin Daochuan looked at her and said, "It means that Aunt Lan can look at people." ”

Ruoshu touched the placket of his chest with his hand, but finally there was something unspoken.

There is another banquet in the East Mansion of the Guogong Mansion today.

Wen still invited He Shiqing, but He Shiqing did not attend the appointment.

Yi, who has always been good friends with Wen, is a little uncomfortable.

Finally waited for Wen's time to be free, hurriedly grabbed her, and said, "Sister Wen, how is this good, now that there is a fatality, will it involve us?" ”

Wen Shi hurriedly asked her to silence and said, "Sister Yi's skirt is broken, I will accompany you back to the room to change your clothes." ”

After saying that, he pulled her to his house.

Yi Shi looked at Wen Shi still sitting in front of the mirror, playing with his headdress with a relaxed face, and said anxiously: "Sister Wen, you have always had a lot of ideas, but you want to think of a way?" ”

Wen glanced at Yi from the mirror and said, "It's not that you're afraid of anything?" What the dead and the living. ”

Yi said: "What is that Aunt Lan, she died a few days ago, and you are in the mansion, don't you know?" ”

Wen shook his head.

Seeing this, Yi Shi said more anxiously: "How is this good, I wanted to ask for a way to let her go, but who knew that she took advantage of the guards' defenselessness, jumped off the building and escaped, and escaped after escaping, and now she is still dead." ”

Wen said lightly: "It's just a slave, what's the matter, I really don't blame you for making such a fuss." ”

Yi said: "Sister Wen, is there any movement in the mansion over there?" ”

Wen shook his head.

Yi said: "That's fine. It's just that now it's empty again, and it's frustrating to think about it. ”

Wen said: "Your mother-in-law is angry with you again? ”

Yi nodded and said, "Someone in the house is pregnant again." Why am I so miserable! ”

Wen said: "Also, looking at the merchant girl and the sow, one after another, I didn't stop. ”

The eyes in the mirror are very vicious.

Yi said: "Sister Wen, I can only rely on you now, you have to help me, you must find a way, so that I can have an heir so that I can live." ”

Wen was perfunctory to her, but in his heart he was extremely disdainful, and he was not enough to succeed and to lose.

Half a month later, Du Jiuqi finally came with useful news.

Someone in Chaoyang Lane once heard a voice, "Jumped off the building!" ”

Ruoshu turned to look at Du Jiuqi, waiting for his next words.

Du Jiuqi continued: "We touched the front and back of the house, left and right, and the rest of the houses were all inhabited by one family, only one of them was now uninhabited, and we found this in the grass under the attic. ”

After speaking, he opened his palm, and Ruoshu saw a small sewing kit on it, just like Aunt Lan's people, an ordinary small gray cloth bag, which was worn out badly because it had been used for a long time.

Ruoshu felt blood rushing to the top of his head, and couldn't help but bite his lip.

Du Jiuqi said: "I am still checking who the owner of the house is, I believe it will not take long." ”

Ruoshu hummed, took the sewing kit in Du Jiuqi's hand, put it in the palm of his hand, and looked at it carefully.

Du Jiuqi was a little surprised, and he stretched out his hand for a long time and forgot to take it back.

A few days later, Du Jiuqi came with news again.

The owner of the house is surnamed Yi, and he is a steward in the house of Song Jiazhi, a bachelor of Hanlin Academy, and he is married to the capital with the second wife of the second son of the Song Mansion.

Yi's has not been pregnant for five years, and it cannot be said that she is not pregnant, but she can't keep the fetus.

"Do you want to have a child?" Ruoshu looked at the clouds floating in the sky and said faintly.

Du Jiuqi said: "The owner, since she is bent on seeking a child, we will fulfill her." ”

Ruoshu looked at him, and Du Jiuqi continued, "Let her die on the way to ask for a child." ”

Ruoshu listened, bowed his head and said, "I don't care how she seeks her death, but I want her to pay for Aunt Lan's life, fifteen times her life." ”

Du Jiuqi said: "Yes, don't worry, the owner must let her die to understand." ”

Ruoshu looked at him lightly and said, "If you say too much, you will lose." ”

Du Jiuqi listened, bowed his head and arched his hand: "It's Jiuqi who is not thoughtful, the owner can rest assured, there will be no traces." ”

Ruoshu nodded.

Du Jiuqi retreated.

Ruo Shu was still standing in the stable, looking down at the sewing kit in his hand, no matter how Lan Zhi urged, he did not turn back to the right courtyard.

It was the first day of the new year, and Yi's took the car to the White Horse Temple to burn incense and ask for a child.

It had just rained last night, the mountain road was muddy and difficult to walk, and the driver secretly complained about the Yi family in the car.

The heart is not perfect, and it is useless to ask for it. As soon as dawn was urging to set off, it would be better to wait for the road to dry later, and when I returned home, I didn't know how long it would take to scrub the car clean.

If he had a bad temper, the whip was thrown harder, and as soon as the horse was in pain, he neighed and sped up.

Yi Shi in the car was playing with the rosary and reciting the scriptures, this time she almost fell on the futon, followed her slave and maid to get up, lifted the curtain, and scolded softly: "Old Chen, you slow down, you almost fell off the second young lady." ”

Lao Chen turned his head slightly and said, "Second young lady, the mountain road is difficult, you are in a hurry, and the old slave has no choice, so you should be more steady." ”

The slave wanted to say something, but Yi grabbed her and shook her head.

The more he went up, the more muddy the road became, and the wheels slipped a few times, and Lao Chen finally stabilized.

After a turn, after suddenly hearing Lao Chen's first "bad", the car suddenly deviated, and the horse pulling the car was pulled too tightly because the reins were too tight, neighing and trying to stand upright, at this time the carriage was already a little deflected out of the road, and finally how Lao Chen pulled the reins in his hand, the car and the horse rushed out of the road uncontrollably.

I heard only the sound of colliding with the rocks, followed by the sound of things falling apart, and a few screams.

Du Jiuqi and the others looked from the side of the mountain road, but there was no movement below.

Someone wanted to go down and take a closer look, but Du Jiuqi stopped him, "It's not good to leave a mark, go quickly." ”

The group said as they walked, "After carrying water overnight, my shoulders are still sore." ”

"My hands are worn out."

"The proprietor said that everyone will be rewarded with a thousand taels."

"The owner is generous, in fact, even if I don't have money, I'll do it."

The voices faded away, and the two people hiding on the side of the road silently watched in the direction they left.

The Seventh Prince said to Qingyun beside him: "I think it's much stronger than you. ”

Qingyun said: "If it is more ruthless than this, Qingyun is ashamed of himself. ”

The Seventh Prince said: "If it weren't for the slippery road and the fact that we couldn't ride horses, you and I could only walk down the mountain, and almost missed this good show." ”

"Don't keep up yet." The Seventh Prince said.

"Yes." Qingyun flashed and followed.

The Seventh Prince wanted to leave, but suddenly stopped, looked at the place where the carriage and horses fell, checked it, and found a place to climb down.
