Chu Junlan was in a good mood, and his steps all the way back to the guest house were brisk.

Chu Huating walked side by side with her, seemed to feel her obvious good mood, and said with a smile: "Their girls have suffered the consequences of their own evil, are you so happy?" ”

"I'm naturally happy that they're being punished, but I'm even happier about other things." Chu Junlan walked up to Chu Huating and stepped back, even if Chu Huating couldn't see her, her eyebrows and eyes were already crooked with a smile, "I'm happy big brother's transformation." ”

Chu Huating snorted slightly, "What's so fun about this?" It's just that I no longer pinned my hopes, and naturally learned how to be humble and wrong. ”

"Big brother is not a dull person, in the future mixed with officialdom, such a thick black mind has to learn more, I was worried that my eldest brother was too kind, but now I can rest assured. Even if I get married, my eldest brother can protect himself. ”

Chu Huating cried and laughed: "Look, isn't this girl crazy?" How many young ladies who have not yet come out of the cabinet can say such things calmly? ”

"I'm thick-skinned." Chu Junlan laughed.

Chu Huating was helpless, and then said with some worry: "Silly girl, you are such a character, which really makes me both relieved and worried." In the future, when you go to the palace, you will serve your in-laws, and if they don't like you......"

"It doesn't matter. If you don't like it, you can just throw away your hands and live your own life, and I'm not angry, so my eldest brother doesn't have to worry about me. It's the big brother. ”

Chu Junlan smiled and pulled Chu Huating's sleeve, "The eldest brother has been delayed by his eyes in the past two years, and I will definitely say a good kiss for the eldest brother when I go back, and choose a gentle and virtuous beauty to be the sister-in-law." ”

Chu Huating was stunned for a moment, his face was pink, and his steps were a little sluggish.

Chu Junlan said in surprise: "Does the eldest brother already have a favorite woman?" ”

"No. If you have not made meritorious contributions and have not found out the cause of your mother's death, how can you talk about these small things? Chu Huating stepped again, his steps were a little heavier than before, "Mother's matter is full of mysteries, and I always feel that if I can't solve it, it will be a huge hidden danger. ”

Chu Junlan raised his forehead and said: "That's true, it's just that Yin Yi Yuhai of Shuntian Mansion back then is now a secretary of the ministry, and we can't see such a high-ranking and powerful person now." As for the grandmother who returned to her hometown, there is no way to find out, the world is big, her hometown is just an unknown small village, and trying to find someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack. ”

What Chu Junlan didn't say was that people like Xiao Xu, who didn't know how many forces there were behind it, wanted to find her Ziyuan and still hadn't gotten whereabouts.

I don't know where Aster was sold by someone's tooth and how much she suffered.

Aunt Wang's whips were staggered, and most importantly, the tip of one of the whips ripped through her cheek, leaving a bloody streak on the right side of her face.

She was crying in pain in her room in Yuqingyuan, but she was only accompanied by her personal maid.

"That bad guy! I lost it wholeheartedly for him, but he treated me like this, oops, dead girl, you want to hurt me to death! Get out of here! Aunt Wang kicked away the maidservant who had medicated herself.

The maid didn't dare to refute, lowered her head and pursed her lips, hastily rubbed the gold sore medicine on Aunt Wang's wound, and retreated. Leaving Aunt Wang alone in the room to hum.

In the middle of the night, it began to rain lightly outside. Aunt Wang was in pain all over, and when she remembered Chu Mengying, she had a headache again, and she couldn't sleep at all. It was not until the middle of the night that I had just felt a little sleepy on the bed, when there was a faint sound of a sharp blade sliding through the wood.

The door creaked and shut, and a figure crept close.

Aunt Wang woke up with a spirit, listened to the familiar voice, and asked in a low voice, "Brother Ma?" ”

"It's me. My heart, how are you? Ma Yan, the big housekeeper, sat on the edge of the bed and touched Aunt Wang's long hair with pity, "I'll wait until now to make sure no one is awake before I dare to come over, Qing'er, do you feel better?" ”

Aunt Wang immediately burst into tears, sobbed in a low voice and pillowed her head on Ma Yan's lap, her long hair was scattered, and her soft and boneless appearance was really pitiful.

"The master is so ruthless, he would punish me like this in public, I think he is not because of disciplining his children, but because he wants to please Chu Junlan's little slut. He knew that Chu Junlan didn't like our mother and daughter, so he wanted to find a reason to confess, poor my sister Ying was designed to steal, and my face ...... Brother Ma, the concubine is really aggrieved. ”

"Don't cry. I feel sorry for you crying. Ma Yan's voice was gentle, but his expression hidden in the night did not change much.

Aunt Wang struggled to get up, and took a few breaths of cold air in pain, "Good brother, what you said last time, I promise you, I know that he still has thousands of taels of body, all of which are hidden by him, I will find an opportunity to poison him, and then take the silver, you take me and Sister Ying'er and Brother Zhang to fly away together, let's find a place where no one recognizes in the future, and live a life in An'an, okay?" ”

Ma Yan did not answer immediately.

Aunt Wang was a little anxious, and choked up softly: "Are you still reluctant to give up your mother-in-law?" She also has an eldest son by her side, and she is quick to be spicy, and if you leave, maybe she will be even happier. I'm different. I was not in good health, and I was bullied everywhere. If you don't take me away, I'm afraid I'll be tortured to death in this house!" ”

Ma Yan looked down at her, and there was a deep look in his eyes.

Aunt Wang was a little anxious, more panicked, and lowered her voice and scolded: "The surname is Ma, you shouldn't be ignoring me, right?" We are grasshoppers on a rope, if we didn't want Chu Junlan and wanted to try him, Changming wouldn't want to catch her, and she wouldn't have fallen off the attic and fell out of a stiff body. If this matter is publicized, no one can escape. ”

Realizing that her tone was too sharp, Aunt Wang slowed down her voice again: "I'm not such a jealous woman, you wanted to taste Chu Junlan at the beginning, didn't I also help you?" It's a big deal that I'll take a few beautiful concubines for you in the future and serve you together, okay? ”

Ma Yan seemed to have figured it out at this point, and said with a smile: "My heart, I understand your intentions." It's just that there's no rush to poison him yet. I have a good medicine here, which can make him tell the truth, Changming died in the Chu family after all, wouldn't it be too cheap for him to poison him directly? ”

Ma Yan said as he took out a paper bag from his arms and handed it to Aunt Wang, whispering a few words in her ear.

Aunt Wang nodded again and again when she heard this, and finally said with a smile: "Good brother, it's all up to you." ”

Yuqing Garden's pickled and filthy Chu Junlan naturally didn't know about it.

October 20, the birthday of the old lady, is also a good day to hold a banquet in the evening. The house is very lively when I wake up early in the morning. The guest house was quiet.

Zi Yan, Bao Le, and Yuan Kanghu all stood nervously in the front hall, watching Chu Junlan carefully unwrap the bandages.
