Chapter Eighty-Seven: Joining Forces

At this time, Xi'er stepped forward and handed the agarwood box: "Old lady, this is what I found in Xiuru's room." ”

The old lady looked at the familiar agarwood box and nodded, the matter couldn't be clearer, now Xiuru has become a thief with unclean hands and feet, and Sun Baozhen looks like she wants to kill her relatives in righteousness.

"Old lady, Baozhen only heard that the third young grandmother lost the family heirloom passed on by the old lady to the third young grandmother, but she didn't know what it was, but she still thought it was best to open this box to confirm clearly."

Qin Yunuan and the old lady glanced at each other, and they both guessed Sun Baozhen's thoughts, but they just wanted to confirm that the thing here was the fourth map that their Sun family was looking for, Qin Yunuan smiled lightly, but did not refuse: "Concubine Fang is right, what is here, I understand it best when I open it." ”

The mandarin duck listened to the old lady's order, stepped forward and twisted the small copper buckle on the box, and when Sun Baozhen's expectant eyes and Qin Yunuan's unfazed eyes converged, a glass jade pendant with good color and moist and transparent was presented in front of everyone.

Sun Baozhen's expression was slightly embarrassed, revealing an incomparable disappointment, what she thought could be easily obtained has now become a jade pendant that has no value to her, and the key is that she will lose ......

"Old lady, third young grandmother, can you have something to deal with?" The mandarin duck lowered his head and asked.

The old lady nodded, Qin Yunuan made a color, and when she heard Xuedeng, she shouted to Xiuru who was kneeling: "Okay, you are a maid with unclean hands and feet, and you dare to covet such a precious heirloom as the palace." ”

Xiuru was so aggrieved in her heart, she didn't know how this box appeared in her house, but at this time, even Sun Baozhen didn't plan to protect her, she could only beg for mercy desperately: "The slave is wrong, the third young grandmother, the old lady is gracious, the slave and the maid don't dare anymore." ”

"Our palace does not tolerate people with unclean hands and feet," the old lady acted decisively and sharply, "Mandarin duck, take her down, serve her in the family law, do not break her legs, and are not allowed to stop the board." ”

Qin Yunuan asked Leng Shuang to observe the way Xiuru walked, and learned that Xiuru was a rare master of light martial arts, and breaking Xiuru's leg was tantamount to abolishing Xiuru's martial arts, and then when Xiuru was driven out of the house, the Sun family would definitely not care and pay more attention to a useless chess piece.

On the first day that Sun Baozhen entered the palace, Qin Yunuan had already cleverly abolished Sun Baozhen's most powerful helper.

The corners of Sun Baozhen's mouth twitched, but she didn't dare to compete directly with the old lady, but she nodded seemingly peacefully, and slightly echoed: "The old lady has clear rewards and punishments, and Xiuru asked for it." ”

The old lady glanced at Sun Baozhen with a leisurely look, and then thought of Qin Yunuan's domineering attitude of shaking all the chess pieces to the ground with a wave of her sleeves, closed her eyes and said: "Okay, since the culprit has been found, everyone will disperse, so that the family will have no peace, and everyone will be in peace." ”

Qin Yunuan curtsied, and took Tingxue Xi'er to prepare to go back, Sun Baozhen also took the little maid around her to the winter and spring courtyard, Sun Baozhen's side looked not very old, and he was a little timid when he spoke, and he also married into the palace with Sun Baozhen, and changed to Xiuying, compared to Xiuru, who was neat, he was simply a little chicken who had not grown up, which made people feel upset when they looked at it.

The execution was being carried out in the courtyard next door, and the dull sound of slapping boards and Xiuru's heart-rending shouts stimulated people's nerves;

"The idea of the third young grandmother is really good," on the way, Xi'er couldn't help but say, "At that time, the third young grandmother was targeted by the second wife when she came back with the agarwood box, and thought that the old lady gave some treasure to the third young grandmother, and she had been thinking about it, and now that she has done it like this, it is expected that the second lady will not fight this jade pendant again, and she also got rid of the high-spirited maid next to the side concubine by the way." ”

The matter of the map is related to the survival of Ning Wangfu, except for Leng Changxi, Qin Yunuan has not talked to anyone, so Xi'er Tingxue and even the closest Man'er have always thought that this agarwood box is just a treasure, which is also Qin Yunuan's purpose, all this she planned today, one is to break Sun Baozhen's arm, and the other is to dispel Sun Baozhen's illusion of this agarwood box.

As for the second wife, she couldn't help but think of Liao's mother's death, she knew that it was no accident that Liao's mother would appear in the second wife's yard, and looking at the second wife's temper, it was impossible for her to be an accomplice or participate in this seemingly suicidal murder, and it was more likely that the Sun family wanted to use this to intimidate the second wife into cooperating with them.

After returning to Jiyuxuan, Leng Changxi had just come back from the court, he was tired, he only asked Leng Wu to untie his armor, only wearing a thin middle coat, lying on the bed on his back, closing his eyes to recuperate, the room was extremely warm, it was spring, but the silver carbon in the house was still burning warm.

Man'er and Leng Wu are now married, Daqi folk customs, engaged men and women can't meet before getting married, plus Leng Changxi helped Man'er enter the household registration of General Shang's Mansion, in order to avoid some unnecessary troubles and suspicions, Man'er temporarily lived in General Shang's Mansion, and occasionally asked the little guy in the General's Mansion to bring a message and tell Qin Yunuan that everything was fine.

When Qin Yunuan entered the house, he only saw Leng Wu, who had not seen Man'er for a long time, and looked a little distracted, until Qin Yunuan was about to walk over and hurriedly saluted and greeted, Qin Yunuan smiled slightly, wanting to raise his legs, but turned around again, and said seemingly unintentionally: "I heard that General Shang is going to take his long-separated daughter to Wan'an Temple tomorrow to pray for blessings, alas, there are so many people in Wan'an Temple, if this beautiful and delicate girl is abducted by a bad man, I'm afraid no one will know." ”

Leng Wu's face turned red suddenly, and he said embarrassedly: "Third young grandmother, I ......." ”

Qin Yunuan pretended not to see it, and only waved and shouted to Tingxue: "It's hot in the house, listen to the snow, go and bring the stewed pears with rock sugar on the stove." ”

A hot word made Leng Wu's face even redder.

Qin Yunuan entered the room and sat down on the bed, and Leng Changxi, who was originally squinting, immediately hugged him: "As far as you like to worry about Leng Wu and that girl, you can worry about yourself first." ”

Qin Yunuan pouted: "I don't worry about myself anymore, look, after a winter, my waist has gained a lot of weight." ”

Leng Changxi smiled and pinched Qin Yunuan's little nose: "You really like to me more and more now, I like your flesh, you were so thin before, it hurts to look at it." ”

Qin Yunuan's face was slightly red, and she only turned around and hugged Leng Changxi's neck, and snapped and kissed Leng Changxi's cheek: "I'm worried about you." After that, like a well-behaved little beast meeting its master, it gently arched Leng Changxi's chest.

This arch is the arch that makes Leng Changxi's heart itch, and it doesn't matter if it's broad daylight, he turned over and pressed Qin Yunuan under him, but at this time, he heard Xue calling at the door with a stewed pear with rock sugar.

Leng Changxi straightened up and put on the cold bat-shaped mask again: "I have to tell our children in the future that if there are no maids in the yard, you may have a few more younger brothers and sisters, so that he can take warning;

。 ”

is obviously angry, but Leng Changxi can speak seriously and seriously.

Qin Yunuan glared at him with disgust: "Teach some bad things." ”

I don't know if I heard the words in the snow, but I didn't look good when I heard the snow come in.

"Third young grandmother, the side concubine said that there are guests in the house, and she is an acquaintance of the third young grandmother, and she wants to invite the third young grandmother to come over and catch up together."

Qin Yunuan glanced at Leng Changxi, this guy is enjoying drinking rock sugar pears.

"Alright, I'll go right away."

After listening to Xue leaving, Leng Changxi raised his head and said, "I probably know who is coming." ”

Qin Yunuan looked at him sideways, and Leng Changxi said in a deep voice: "I guess it has something to do with the mysterious disappearance of the third prince." ”

"Is there any news from the Third Prince?"

"No," Leng Changxi shook his head, "I have already checked all the routes to the imperial tomb, except for some traces of the fight and bloodstains that can prove that there was a battle at that time, nothing has been found, depending on the emperor's meaning, he originally sent the third prince to the imperial tomb and did not plan to let him come back alive, now, the emperor only needs me to come up with the news that can prove that the third prince has died, as for the rest, the royal family naturally has a way to make a reasonable explanation." ”

"I guess you've got it." Qin Yunuan looked at Leng Changxi and said.

couldn't hide anything from the little hedgehog in front of him, Leng Changxi nodded and said: "It's true that I got it a long time ago, because the scene is too much like a burn and a captivity, and the first feeling is that the team of the three princes has encountered a bandit, but because it is too similar, there is a problem." ”

"Do you suspect that all this was carefully arranged by Sima Rui?"

"It's not a doubt, it's a certainty." Leng Changxi's tone was very affirmative, "I'm only worried, all the information we have obtained now was deliberately left to us by Sima Rui, it seems that in addition to the previous killers of the Qin family and the Dou family, he also has foreign aid, and this partner is even more terrifying and powerful." ”

Qin Yunuan shook his head: "Sima Rui is just a prince, what kind of ability does he have to make these major families do their best to help him?" If it is said that it depends on women, it may not be that every woman will be fascinated by him. ”

Leng Changxi said calmly: "There is only one thing that can tightly bind a group of people from different backgrounds together. ”

"Interests." The two said in unison.

For some reason, Qin Yunuan couldn't help but think of the fourth map that had been transferred to the place where she kept it, and muttered for a while: "I should go, Concubine Fang, aren't there still distinguished guests waiting for me to go." ”

In the courtyard of winter and spring, the atmosphere is integrated, and the tense atmosphere of the morning is completely gone, Sun Baozhen is meeting guests in the attic, Qin Yunuan walked under the attic, only to see a woman who was leaning against the guardrail and talking to Sun Baozhen warmly, looking at the relationship between the two is by no means ordinary.

"Third young grandmother, please come here." Xiuying took Qin Yunuan up the stairs.

After seeing this "distinguished guest" clearly, Qin Yunuan couldn't help but tremble in her heart, it was actually her!
