CHAPTER XXIX

Li Qingmin went back to Ningxin Courtyard alone, and when Qingyan saw him with a calm face, he asked him, "Brother...... But the eldest uncle doesn't want to come? ”

Li Qingmin shook his head and said: "No, the monarch already knows about the concubine, and now he has ordered the Yamen in Beijing and the three princes to investigate thoroughly at this time, the uncle is grounded, I am afraid that the imperial doctor will not be able to invite him, and the mother has to find another doctor!"

Qingyan frowned and thought for a while, then glanced at her mother with unknown cause in the inner room and said worriedly, "Brother, is there any way to find another famous doctor?"

Li Qingmin really thought of one, he recalled: "I know one, but he likes to travel around, and now he doesn't know if he is in Beijing?"

Qingyan said with a smile: "It's good to have someone, why don't you send Yuedong to try your luck, during the Qingming Festival, maybe he happens to be there."

While they were discussing, the housekeeper of the clan walked in and said with a proud face: "Fourth Miss, Third Son, summoned by the patriarch."

Qingyan didn't see his expression, and said with a smile: "Steward Li, but what happened in the clan?"

Steward Li raised his eyes and chuckled: "Miss will know when she goes, things should be tight, I don't have to pack up and go with the old slave!"

Qingyan and Qingmin glanced at each other, the two of them had already guessed what was going on, but the two of them were worried in their hearts, and Qingyan was even faintly uneasy, and it probably wouldn't be a good thing to go.

At the weeping flower gate leading to the main courtyard, a woman approached them gracefully, and Steward Li saw the visitor, and stepped forward with a smile and saluted: "Miss Cui, where are you going?"

This woman is Cui Wanniang, I saw that her eyebrows were picturesque, a pair of natural smiling eyes, she was amiable, she didn't hold it, and replied with a half-salute: "It's Uncle Housekeeper!" Good today, Wan'er is about to put paper kites."

She spoke kindly, and Steward Li's smile became even bigger when she listened.

Qingyan saw that she was holding a swallow's paper kite in her hand, which was extremely realistic, touched Li Qingmin's arm, and said in a low voice: "Didn't you go back to Qinghe's Cui family for a year, why did you come back at this time?"

Li Qingmin's face was calm, and his tone was flat: "Where is it easier to come from the Cui family than the Li family."

Qingyan Xindao: That's what I said.

The eldest lady's maiden family is the Qinghe Cui family, and it is also a famous scholar family, and there has been a demon concubine in the history of the family, and then there are rules in the palace, as long as it is the daughter of the Cui family, she is not allowed to be elected as a concubine in the palace, and then the Cui family will decline.

Although they can't enter the palace, the Cui family is also powerful, like sprinkling beans, and all the women in the clan are scattered to other scholars, not the main mother but also the favored wife, which shows that the Cui family daughter also has a lot of means.

Cui Wanniang is the niece of the eldest lady, and the eldest lady loves her like a daughter.

"The third brother and the fourth sister are going to the clan?"

Qingmin ignored her, Qingyan nodded with a smile: "Sister Wan asked knowingly, are you waiting for Yan'er here?"

Cui Wanniang smiled weakly and said innocently: "The fourth sister is speaking differently than before, but because of the marriage, I heard the third sister say that you are voluntary, since you have already made a decision, it is not good to bring resentment in your heart......"

Qingyan Yingying smiled and listened to her crackling, and raised her voice towards Steward Li: "Steward Li, isn't it very important, don't you want to leave?"

Steward Li smiled and bent over Cui Wanniang before entering the door again.

Seeing that she couldn't see the backs of the three of them, Cui Wanniang grabbed the paper kite in her hand tightly, but her smile remained unchanged, she turned around and walked to a flower bush, and threw the paper kite that had fallen apart into it.

Qingyan and the others entered the hall, and the door of the hall slowly closed behind them, and no one knew what they said that day. What happened again?

The old lady was imprisoned in the Buddhist hall, the second old lady was carried out, and as for the second master, he was tied up by his subordinates.

And the patriarch rarely kept silent about the events of the day, and the solemn atmosphere of the Li family came out on the second day, and the second master's family was expelled from the house.

Zhu Xuanju, Qingyan was packing up her things, and Hongwu said cautiously: "Miss, do you really want to leave the Li family?" Qingyan smiled lightly: "Naturally, the Li family can't tolerate us now, if we don't leave, are we waiting to be sent by them to take the blame!"

"But the monarch won't believe them directly without knowing the truth!"

Qingyan stopped what he was doing, turned to look out the window, and said slowly: "Since my brother has made a decision, there is no place for us in the Li family, so it is better to choose to leave, the sky is high and the sea is wide and the birds can fly......"

"But Miss...... Can Sister Biqing and I leave with you? Hongwu hesitated!

Qingyan was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect Hongwu's dazed expression in the morning to be because of this.

"Yes...... You and Biqing are both from the Lin family, so naturally you want to leave with us."

When the words fell, Hongwu finally stretched her expression, revealing a face of joy.

Mother Zhang walked in from the outside, and said with a smile: "Miss, Young Master Qingmin is already waiting outside, saying that he should leave early to avoid accidents", while neatly packing the things that Qingyan packed up.

"Let my brother wait for a while, I'll clean up and leave, there aren't many things in this Zhuxuanju, but it's my mother's place, can it be cleaned up?"

Speaking of this, Zhang's mother looked sad, "Madame married into the Li family, and the dowry alone installed a whole house, and now there are only a few boxes left, plus the young lady leaves the Li family, I am afraid that the dowry in the future will not be worth the richness of being the Miss Li family."

Qingyan glanced at her and said softly: "Mom, are you worried about my dowry, or are you worried about following me to leave and suffer hardships, if you don't want to leave, I will tell the eldest master, and you can continue to stay in the Li family to work."

Mother Zhang's face stiffened, and she smiled dryly: "Miss, the old slave didn't mean that."

Walking out of the gate of the Li family, the second master was still tied to the car, and Li Qingmin sat in the carriage, lonely and silent.

It wasn't until he heard Qingyan's footsteps that he lifted the curtain and smiled slowly, and called softly: "Yan'er."

Qingyan saluted him with a light smile, and was about to get into the carriage behind, when her eldest brother Li Qingjing came out with a servant, and the servant was holding a box in his hand.

Qingyan stopped getting into the car, turned around and said softly, "Big brother, why are you here?"

They left, and no one from the Li family came out to see them off!

Li Qingjing was still kind, and said heartily: "Come and send the fourth sister", and said that he took the box handed by the servant and sent it to Qingyan's hand.

"The Li family is in trouble, it's okay for you to leave, when you get to the Northland, remember to bring a letter back!"

Qingyan stared at his eyes, which were as calm and safe as ever, and she said seriously: "Didn't the eldest brother think that the Li family's trouble was caused by us?" Aren't you afraid of hate? ”

Li Qingjing was stunned for a moment and laughed.

"What do you have to do with the Li family's affairs with the fourth sister!" He raised his hand and rubbed the top of her head affectionately, it was an elder brother's love for his younger sister, "Okay, the third brother is still waiting for the fourth sister!" ”

He leaned closer and whispered: "Father has prepared five hundred taels of silver for you and the third brother, and the fourth sister must remember to keep it away, don't let the second uncle find out."

Qingyan showed a grateful and touching smile, turned around and got into the car, the car drove slowly, the Li family's mansion was getting farther and farther away, Qingyan suddenly had an indescribable feeling in her heart, like sadness, happiness, nostalgia, and happiness!
