Sending Cui'e away, Qin Yunuan went straight back to the house, Tong'er and Man'er followed, the house was being cleaned when she moved into this yard, and the maid who was selected together listened to the lotus, with clear eyebrows and narrow shoulders, looking pitiful, she was very quick to do things, and she rushed to do everything.

"Alright, listen to the lotus, you go out, this place is almost cleaned." Qin Yunuan whispered to Tinghe, with an amiable smile on her face, but when she waited for the front foot of Tinghe to go out of the room, Qin Yunuan's face changed, and when Man'er closed the door, she asked in a low voice, "Can you find out the origin of this little girl?" ”

It's not that Qin Yunuan is too cautious, but in her previous life, Dou Qing'e also sent Tinghe to serve her when she sewed the crane that was dedicated to the queen's mother, but then, there were inexplicably two extra silver needles in the crane she gave to the queen's mother.

"The slave maid inquired privately for the third girl," Man'er said in a low voice, "This Tinghe only entered the mansion this year, and I heard that it was a distant niece of Xiugu next to Madame, and she used to work in the courtyard of the eldest girl." ”

"Sure enough, it still has something to do with the Dou family." Qin Yunuan tightened her brows, she had sent away a Fusheng before, and now she had come to listen to the lotus, I heard that Fusheng was married to a lame 50-year-old horse dealer in the west of the city within two days after he testified for himself last time.

Dou Qing'e, she really doesn't have bad torture methods.

"Third girl, why don't we use the same method last time to send Tinghe out of the yard." Tong'er said seriously.

"Wouldn't that be too cheap for her," the corners of Qin Yunuan's mouth raised slightly, Fusheng had never really harmed herself, so she didn't pursue her too much, but this listening lotus, counting, there are also accounts from the previous life, Qin Yunuan glanced at the scriptures on the table and the brocade box containing ink blocks, "Just plan it, doesn't she want me to copy the Buddhist scriptures?" Then I must copy it well, copy it seriously. ”

In the middle of the night, the light has been on in Qin Yunuan's room, she is quietly copying scriptures, Buddhist scriptures can really calm people's minds, make people feel clear, peaceful in the heart, can tolerate all the sins and evils in this world, but, in such a deep house compound, even if she is willing to tolerate others, will others let her go?

Qin Yu held his breath and calmed his mind, the strokes were smooth and natural, and he paused occasionally, as if he was waiting, waiting for what should be there this night.

Suddenly, a shrill female voice came from a distance, as sharp as a sharp blade piercing the silence of the night.

The scream was terrible and sharp.

"Third girl," Liao's mother knocked on the door from outside, anxiously informed, "There is an accident in Furong Courtyard." ”

When Qin Yunuan rushed to the Furong Courtyard with a look of knowing everything, several of Dou Qing'e's henchmen and maids and Steward Xie were already guarding the door, and in the middle of the night, although they were a little haggard, they didn't dare to relax their vigilance, and there were seven or eight maids and grandmothers in the courtyard who seemed to be searching for something, but in their expressions, they always seemed to be a little jealous, for fear of some ghosts coming out of the grass and the shade.

"Father," Qin Yunuan entered the house and saluted Qin Qin first, "Yunuan heard that something had happened in Furong Courtyard outside, so she rushed over. As she spoke, she glanced at Li Mengming, who was a little disheveled, her face was like paper, as if she had just woken up from a nightmare, gasping for breath, her body was softly nestled in Qin Zhi's arms, her lips were slightly open, but she didn't know what she wanted to say.

"Aunt Li, what's wrong? But what's uncomfortable? Qin Yunuan looked at Li Mengming's ankles, which were still wrapped in gauze, and there was a mess all around, the candlesticks and hangers all fell to the ground, as if they had just had a fight.

After a while, Dou Qing'e came in with someone, her expression indifferent, slightly disdainful: "Master, I have searched everywhere, and there is no woman in white that Sister Li said." ”

Qin Zhen made a straight face, and didn't speak for a while, but Li Mingming, who was in his arms, finally raised his head and said tremblingly: "Master, you believe in Mengming, when Mengming changed her clothes, she really saw a woman in white floating in front of the window, her eyes were so lonely that they seemed to be full of countless grievances, her face was full of scratch marks, and there were lotus flowers embroidered on her placket, which Meng Meng remembered very clearly." ”

Li Mingming's words were like a ghostly shadow that surrounded the beam, stirring the nerves of everyone in the room.

Until Aunt Chang opened her mouth worriedly, her eyes showed a mixture of horror and incredulity: "The white clothes embroidered with lotus flowers, the face is scratched, isn't this what Aunt He looked like when she died six years ago?" It turns out that this Furong Courtyard ....... ”

With a "bang", Qin Zhi easily slammed the copper basin on the washback shelf to the ground, and his eyes revealed an incomparably cold gloomy: "Didn't you say it, you are not allowed to mention this matter in the future." ”

"Yes," Dou Qing'e echoed, "These old stories have long been concluded, and there is nothing else to say." ”

At this time, outside the courtyard, a maid ran into the house in a panic, and there was a heavy copper basin in her hand, and there seemed to be a few water-stained clothes in it.

"Master, master, this is what the slaves and maids just fished out of the lotus pond in the yard."

Qin Zhi's face changed as soon as he saw the clothes with a lotus pattern on a white background, and Li Mingming hid behind Qin Zhen in a panic, pointing to the clothes in this copper basin and shouting: "This is it, the woman I saw just now is wearing this dress, her hair is long, and then she is wearing this white dress, master, it's really terrible, ...... master." As she spoke, Li Mengming's sobbing voice changed from small to loud, as if she was greatly frightened.

Dou Qing'e looked at the wet clothes in the copper basin in disbelief, it was impossible, she had just sent someone to search the yard carefully, and nothing suspicious was found, or even if there was anything suspicious, she would definitely let it disappear completely before Qin Zhi came.

Qin Yunuan started the conversation leisurely, "Yunuan was young at that time, but I also heard people in the house talk about it, saying that Aunt He died very strangely, this time Aunt Li only lived in Furong Courtyard not long ago, and she saw a woman suspected of Aunt He, and whether it was true or not, but now there are a lot of rumors about this matter in the house, father, it is better to find out, and it is better to allow Aunt Li to have a peace of mind and comfort Aunt He's spirit in the sky." ”

"Third girl, you were still young at that time, and I can't blame you for not knowing anything, but do you know that the master was heartbroken about the death of his sister, and you mentioned it again and again, didn't it make the master sad a few times." Dou Qing'e spoke kindly, with a dignified demeanor, and looked like a housewife.

"Mother misunderstood Yu Nuan," Qin Yunuan said with a smile, "It's just that Yu Nuan also said in the Buddhist scriptures copied today that everything has cause and effect, and now that Aunt He has appeared, she must have asked for something or been wronged, why don't you understand her mind, it can be regarded as an explanation to Aunt He." ”

Li Mingming trembled when she heard the word "manifestation", and grabbed Qin Zhi's clothes more and more nervously: "Master, after the concubine entered the mansion, I also heard some rumors, saying that Sister He had a hideous face, black cheeks, and strange blue lips when she died, this is not like a sudden death from illness at all, but like being poisoned, if this is the case, Sister He must have a great grievance to appeal." ”

Qin Yunuan stroked his chest and said, "No wonder Yunuan can often hear women's mournful cries in Fuxi Courtyard recently, and I thought I heard it wrong, if it was really ......." Qin Yunuan paused slightly, just enough, the meaning has already arrived, so there is no need to say more.

Dou Qing'e looked at Li Mingming's delicate as a weak willow in Qin Zhen's arms, frowned, her heart was unhappy, and she snorted coldly at Qin Yunuan: "Now that you have grown, you can say such words." ”

Qin Yunxiang immediately helped: "Yes, at that time, my sister was only eight or nine years old, and she knew something, and she yelled in front of her father today, which annoyed her father in vain." ”

Qin Linfeng snorted coldly: "What kind of background you have is what kind of style you have, I think it is because you have done something bad yourself, so you can hear those strange voices in the middle of the night." ”

Dou Qing'e's mother and son, you say a word, and you say a word, and you target Qin Yunuan again and again, Qin Yunuan only waited for them to stop, and then gently blessed her body: "Mother, eldest brother and eldest sister all make sense, Yunuan is a junior, naturally she doesn't know the situation back then, all of this should be decided by her father." ”

Everything was kicked back into Qin Zhi's arms again.

Qin Zhen hugged Li Mengming in his arms, looked at Li Mengming's face that was almost the same as Lianniang, as if he saw more than 20 years ago, he held Lianniang's hand and made an oath: "Lianniang, in order to raise enough money for me to enter Beijing to catch the exam, you do not hesitate to commit to Qinglou to be a clear man. ”

The beauty lowered her eyes and sighed: "If you are admitted, you are a big official, how can you marry a woman like me as a wife, I don't ask for fame, I just want to be able to stay by your side, if you can't pass the exam, you will come back, and when I have saved enough silver, we will do some small business." ”

Afterwards, he really took the lead, when he was proud to parade the streets of East Street, but was favored by the people of the Dou family, the Dou family has been an official for generations, and the emperor was afraid of the Dou family's connections in the court, so he took the opportunity to transfer the Dou family to Hangzhou, but the Dou family naturally had a way, and the son of the Dou family was blocked from entering Beijing as an official, so he married the daughter of the Dou family into the Beijing official as his wife.

On the one hand, Qin is gaining momentum, that is, the entire Qin family shares the glory, and on the other hand, the beautiful lady who is waiting for him, he promised her the position of wife, but she is in a dilemma.

In the end, Qin Zhen still married Dou Qing'e, and he was promoted to three levels in just two years, but he still couldn't forget He Lian in his heart, so he took the opportunity to take He Lian back to Taiwei's Mansion by inspecting the floods in the south, only saying that he was the daughter of a virtuous family he met on the road, and he took a fancy to it and was going to enter the mansion.

He has been trying hard to hide and protect He Lian, but he still didn't expect that she would suddenly die six years ago, so suddenly, so unexplained. But at that time, it was the turmoil of the dynasty, he devoted himself to political affairs, although he was saddened by He's death, but he didn't think about investigating it, and Dou Qing'e had been trying to calm things down at that time, at that time he was fledgling, and he couldn't openly oppose the Dou family, but now, it's different.
