"There are some things that I think it's better to say first." Chu Jiao said flatly.

Qin Shao snorted sullenly, and listened to her say, "Do you have a need?" ”

He only felt a lot more black lines on his forehead.

"How?"

"Are those two aunts not going with your mind? If not, I'll look for you, and my vision won't be wrong. ”

Chu Jiao met his obsidian eyes and said very seriously.

"Do you really think so?" His voice was full of coolness, and she sneezed plainly.

"Yes."

The result of the conversation between the two was of course Qin Shao brushing his sleeves and leaving.

Chu Jiao didn't go to the door, there are some things, it's better not to start.

Red Sleeves and Xiu Ying were guarding the door, and when they saw Qin Shao walking out in a hurry without even wearing a coat, their hearts were cold.

After an hour or two, Red Sleeves quietly entered Chu Jiao's house.

"Miss, the prince went to his aunt's, and now he has fallen asleep."

She said with some frustration, she thought it would be done tonight.

Chu Jiao turned her back to the red sleeves and only snorted.

The sky gradually brightened, a thick layer of snow was piled up in the yard, the north wind was blowing into the house, Red Sleeves was busy cleaning up the yard, and the red charcoal fire was sent to the house, and then boiling hot water and waiting for Chu Jiao to get up.

When Chu Jiao first got up, she was startled by the red sleeves, and saw that Chu Jiao's eyes were all black and green, and she didn't sleep well at first glance.

"Miss, my aunt has come to visit, and she is waiting in the main hall now." Red Sleeves said as he curled his hair.

Chu Jiao raised her eyebrows, but did not speak.

"At that time, the young lady specially instructed that there was no need to come over to say goodbye, but at this time, she suddenly said that she was going to visit, and she was uneasy and kind at this time, so she didn't come to demonstrate, right?" Red Sleeves said and talked, and the more he talked, the more he felt that what he said made sense.

She threw away all the hairpins, and her expression was unusually angry: "Miss! Let me go and tear that woman! ”

"Forget it, let her serve breakfast." Chu Jiao said very blandly.

She wanted to be plain, but now that someone is coming, she is not afraid.

I have to say that Qin Shao's vision is still quite good, Aunt Ming is light and sweet-looking, although it is not charming, but this kind of temperament makes people unable to take their eyes off.

Although it was winter now, she was wearing very little, which was eye-catching.

"I've seen my sister, and I've given my sister tea." She said coquettishly.

Chu Jiao raised her eyebrows, this kind of voice didn't make people feel disgusted, no wonder Qin Shao went to her.

She took the cup of tea, and Aunt Ming smiled with a spring breeze on her face.

"Sister, yesterday the prince slept in the concubine's place, and I hope you don't get angry, this is my sister's filial piety to you, and I hope you don't dislike it."

A little maid walked in from outside, holding a jewelry box in her hand, and when she opened it, it was full of jewelry, which was worth a lot of money at first glance.

"Take these things back of yours, and our master will take a fancy to your?" Red Sleeves didn't look down on her, so he sneered.

Aunt Ming's eyebrows tightened, and tears were already rolling in her eyes.

"I'm sorry, I'll pay attention next time, sister, don't be angry."

"I'm not angry, please Ann, you can go back, and bring back your things." Chu Jiao didn't look at her, and only concentrated on eating.

Aunt Ming was soon sent out, and she was not groveling like inside, but she was also a little proud.

"Auntie, the slave doesn't look like she's easy to get along with, so she may not listen to us, right? I refused to accept anything that was sent. ”

Aunt Ming snorted fiercely: "What is she?" The prince didn't even want to touch her, and pretended to be high. ”

The red sleeves waited, Chu Jiao's face was as usual, but she really didn't have much to eat.

"Miss, it's not a good thing to look at her, why don't you send her out Ming'er? That way she won't come to quarrel with Miss. Redsleeves said angrily.

"She's done nothing wrong, so let's see. You take out Old Man Li's things for me, it's cold today, I'll read in the house." Chu Jiao said and put away her chopsticks, as if she didn't want to say more.

The red-sleeved farmer snorted, but he kept this in mind all the time.

Before it got dark, the people in the palace handed over the post.

But.

It's a wedding card.

It is Yao Chi and Luo Min's wedding card.

Chu Jiao had long known that this would be the result, so she threw the wedding card aside and ignored it.

Xiuying brought over a more valuable piece of news.

"After Jiang Yuan told the sage that everything before was a misunderstanding, Jiang Yuan was killed by a traitor on the way home late at night on the third day, and one of his heads was cut off."

Chu Jiao's hand holding the book trembled, she didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of her.

"Jiang Yuan is dead, and his family may not be able to hold on, but now it is his son who is in charge of Dali Temple, Jiang Yixiu takes over." Xiuying said with a low brow.

"Where is he now? I want to meet him. Chu Jiao's heart swelled with a touch of guilt.

"It's out there now, waiting for you."

Jiang Yixiu was seventeen or eighteen years old, and when he first came in, his eyes were red, all of them were bloodshot, and the clothes on his body were messy, as if he was not in the mood to take care of himself.

"Go out first, and don't come in without my orders."

"Miss..."Red Sleeves stopped talking, this man looked crazy and unsafe.

Chu Jiao waved her hand, and Red Sleeves and Xiuying could only stay outside the door.

Jiang Yixiu didn't talk nonsense at all, he showed a dagger from his cuffs, and quickly stepped forward to compare Chu Jiao's neck.

His eyes were split, and his tone was crazy: "You go to die, I'm worthy of my father." ”

Chu Jiao's heart beat like thunder, but she didn't flinch, it seems that he also knew her identity, pretending to be a man at the beginning, but he didn't expect to be recognized by Jiang Yuan.

"If you kill me, you can only let your real enemy get away with it, the relatives are painful, the enemies are fast, and besides, I saved your mother, and you have forgotten?"

Blood oozed from Chu Jiao's neck slightly, the strength of the dagger gradually deepened, and she once again felt the fear of death.

Jiang Yixiu had a lot of snot and tears: "I understand, I understand." But I can't kill that man! I had no way of reaching him at all! If you hadn't come to the house, I wouldn't have killed my father! ”

Chu Jiao's neck hurt uncomfortably, she held the dagger tightly with her hand, and her eyes were like torches: "You can." You know who killed your father, but if I don't save your mother, will your mother still live? As long as you believe me, my Chu family will definitely protect your Jiang family and never break my word. ”

Although the girl in front of her was already a concubine, she was only fifteen, and her hands holding the dagger were full of blood, but she was not afraid at all.

She told him in a firm tone that she could protect him.

Her eyes were like torches, making people unable to take their eyes off, and he was stunned for a while.

Chu Jiao let go of her hand, the blood on her hand fell to the ground drippingly, and her voice was a little hoarse and said: "Without me, the Chu family will not let you go, you think about it, whether to stand aside with me, have a chance to kill that dog thief, or kill me, and see how long your Jiang family can survive." ”

The dagger in Jiang Yixiu's hand fell to the ground with a "clang", he squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, cried bitterly, and muttered in his mouth: "I don't know, I really don't know, it's useless, most of the forces in the DPRK and China are his, and no one can shake him." ”

Chu Jiao gasped, her neck hurt so much, and her hands hurt too.

"Don't feel sorry for yourself, you go home and clean up yourself, I'll wait for you in the Prime Minister's Mansion."

Red Sleeves was frightened when she saw the wound on Chu Jiao's body, and she gave her neck medicine with tears and tears: "Miss, I will slaughter the one who killed a thousand knives in a while!" ”

Xiu Ying hurriedly went back and told Qin Shao.

"Madame's neck and hands are injured, and she is bleeding a lot, and she is dying." Xiu Ying rushed over, looking sad.

Qin Shao's face suddenly turned pale, and before Xiuying could react, his body had already disappeared.

He rushed to Chu Jiao's room and found that Chu Jiao was sitting upright, with a scarf tied around her neck, her hands bandaged, and a blood-stained dagger on the ground.

"What's wrong?" Chu Jiao saw that he was in such a hurry, so she asked.

A trace of annoyance flashed in Qin Shao's eyes, but he quickly calmed down.

"Just come over and see if you're dead."

After saying that, Qin Shao left like the wind, leaving Chu Jiao with a stunned face.

"She's hurt, why didn't you go in earlier to protect her?" Qin Shao raised his eyebrows and said coldly to Xiuying.

Xiu Ying knelt on the ground, very upright: "Madam does not allow anyone to enter, but it is the subordinates who do not do their jobs well, and ask the master to punish them." ”

"Go down and get the board yourself, and you won't have to come back alive next time." Qin Shao's anger surged.

Xiuying was about to walk out, but was stopped again.

"Go and give me a beating up on that Jiang Yixiu." He said coldly.

Xiuying rushed out, his steps much lighter.

When Chu Jiao arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Jiang Yixiu hadn't arrived yet, so she went back first, and explained the cause and effect of the incident to Chu Zhennan clearly.

Chu Zhennan was also very sorry, and the faint smell of blood shocked him.

"Are you hurt? Who did this to you? Isn't it Qin Shao's bastard boy? You name it, Daddy calls the shots! Chu Zhennan's head was rubbing against the fire, and his heart was beating suddenly.

After speaking, he rushed out and happened to meet Jiang Yixiu.

Jiang Yixiu's nose was blue and his face was swollen from being beaten, and he couldn't even see his face, so he endured the discomfort on his body and saluted him.

"What's wrong? Could it be them? Seeing him like this, Chu Jiao hurriedly helped him.

"It's King Qin's people, he said that he dared to hurt you and would accept punishment, so he beat me up." Jiang Yixiu couldn't cry or laugh.

Chu Jiao held her forehead, a guy with a cold face and a warm heart.

"Good boy, this matter has nothing to do with me. In the future, the Chu family will be your home, as for your safety, you can rest assured, my Chu family's secret guards will protect the safety of you and your family, and as for your father's death, this matter will have to be considered in the long run. ”
