Chapter Forty-Seven: The Old Thing Revisited
"Hmph, you still dare to mention that He has never been pregnant." Thinking of the musk dug out of the lotus pond last night, Qin Qian's heart was cold, if there were no those demonic things, maybe his Lianniang could give birth to a son for him, whether it was a daughter, she looked like Lianniang's daughter, she must also be cute and moving.
"Sir." Dou Qing'e's shout was heartbreaking, "Now that you think that Cui'e is dead, and there is no proof of death, do you want to wronged the concubine?" Six years ago, Cui'e only came to serve by the concubine's side, who knows which master she had heard of before, or or, someone deliberately did this, using the maids around the concubine to attack, not only harming Sister He, but also slandering the concubine. ”
Now that Cui'e is dead, with the regret that she was about to blurt out at the end, Dou Qing'e's crying and shouting seemed to be full of tears and out of control, but in fact she was very organized, and she was really prepared. Qin Yunuan snorted coldly in her heart, the road is one foot high, and now Dou Qing'e's methods are getting more and more sophisticated.
Qin Zhi was dressed in a moonlit robe and was blown by the wind, there were too many doubts in front of him, the white embroidered lotus dress was exactly the same as the one that Lianniang wore when she died, but the agarwood box could no longer see the clues, and he didn't sleep all night, and when he learned the news of the accident in Furong Courtyard this morning, he rushed to find some evidence, and now, the only promising clue has also been interrupted, no, there is still a person......
That barefoot woman of the Zhao family!
At this time, someone came to report at the corner gate, saying that the Zhao family's mother-in-law had found it and was waiting in the gatehouse.
Qin Qian's eyes fluttered: "Bring people in." ”
Dou Qing'e's face suddenly turned pale, she had obviously sent someone to ...... last night
"Master, after so many years, there are many people from other places in the suburbs of Beijing, and there are many people mixed together, how can we ensure that this Zhao family's mother-in-law is real?" That's right, Dou Qing'e has always believed in the ability of his subordinates to do things, they are all the top masters of the Dou family, and they have never done anything wrong, the real Zhao family's mother-in-law must have died, and now this ...... Dou Qing'e stared at Qin Yunuan with an inquiring and scrutinizing gaze, thinking of what happened to Boss Yuan last time, she was also an afterthought, and this time, it was most likely her tanuki for the prince.
"Mother's words are a little strange," Qin Yunuan raised a slight smile at the corner of her mouth, "No one has seen it yet, why does Mother keep saying that it is fake?" Does my mother know where this is really hidden? Oh, no, it's even more strange, if the person my father was trying so hard to find was hiding it from my mother, why didn't my mother take it out? ”
"Bastard!" Dou Qing'e couldn't help but chirp, "Is this the tone in which one of your juniors talks to me?" I'm just worried that someone has bad intentions and secretly tries to deceive the master. ”
Qin Yunuan blessed her body slightly: "It turns out that my mother and Yu Nuan's purpose are the same, and I want my father to know the real secret back then, but Yu Nuan lost his word." ”
This girl! The mouth is getting stronger.
In a short time, an old woman of about sixty years was brought into the courtyard, with a pair of half-worn embroidered shoes on her feet, which were wrapped around her small feet like a three-inch golden lotus, wearing a gray cloth skirt, a short brown upper body, her body was arched, and her crane hair was crawling all over her sideburns.
The little feet of the Zhao family's mother-in-law are really difficult to walk, and the porter thought of a way to find a bamboo sedan chair to carry her in, who expected that the Zhao family's mother-in-law was carried into the yard, so she rolled down from the bamboo sedan chair, stumbled to Qin Zhi's feet, and began to shout in a hoarse voice: "My lord, my lord, the women are guilty, the women are guilty." ”
"Grandma Zhao, get up and talk." Qin Yunuan stepped forward to help up the old Zhao family's mother-in-law, and at the same time swept Dou Qing'e on the side with her afterglow, and when Dou Qing'e saw the face of the Zhao family's mother-in-law, the shock on her face was self-evident, although six years have passed, the Zhao family's mother-in-law has aged a lot, but she can begin to recognize that this crying mother-in-law is the Zhao family's mother-in-law back then.
Dou Qing'e clenched the veil, and her chest fell together with the surge of mood, how could it be that the people under her had missed? No! She can't let the Zhao family's mother-in-law confess herself! If necessary, she could have let this old woman go as inexplicably as Cui'e.
"Grandma Zhao, as soon as you came in, you shouted that you were guilty, why?" Qin Yunuan helped the Zhao family's mother-in-law and asked her to sit on a Zen chair that Qin ordered someone to move.
"Injustice, injustice," the mother-in-law of the Zhao family trembled, stretched out a hand ring like dead wood and pointed to the lotus pond in the distance, took a deep breath, and showed a faint and unreal look like inviting a ghost before the practice, "Six years ago, the old woman and I miscalculated a hexagram here, which led to six years of bad things and bad omen, this is God's punishment for the old woman." ”
Six years ago, because He Lianniang died strangely, Dou Qing'e specially invited this Zhao family's mother-in-law to tell divination in Furong Courtyard, and the original conclusion was that a baby boy was born at the North Star who was in conflict with Aunt He's life, and the yang energy was too heavy, and the sick and weak Aunt He was killed, and the scratch on Aunt He's face before she died was left by Aunt He's struggle.
The North Star refers to the north of Furong Courtyard, but there is only the courtyard of Fuxi Courtyard, and at that time, it was not long after Qin Yunuan's mother-in-law Yang gave birth to Qin Baochuan, and all signs seemed to show that Qin Baochuan's birth was the reason for Aunt He's violent death.
"What does Grandma Zhao mean......?" Qin Yunuan asked a little puzzled.
The mother-in-law of the Zhao family squinted her eyes mysteriously, pinched something back and forth with her fingertips, and suddenly opened her eyes and said: "The second young master of the Qin family was born on the twenty-seventh day of March in the year of Bingzi, and the seven stars gathered on that day to ascend the hexagram, which means that Yu chisels the dragon gate, Tongli water source, and the east is injected into the sea, and the people are safe, which is a good omen. ”
Dou Qing'e gradually narrowed her eyes: "You mother-in-law, when I came to you that day, I obviously swore that Sister He was killed by a baby boy born in the land of the North Star, but now she says that it is artificial, repeatedly, self-deducing, how can people believe it?" ”
Qin Zhen completely ignored Dou Qing'e's sharp voice: "Woman? Hmph, sure enough, ....... The implication is to let the mother-in-law of the Zhao family continue, the mother-in-law of the Zhao family paused slightly, just looked at Qin Yunuan with a calm expression, only to see Qin Yunuan with her eyes closed, and shook her head imperceptibly, this mother-in-law of the Zhao family sighed and said: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed, the old woman has already said too much." ”
"Once you make an exception, you can just talk about my wishes, how about it?" Qin Zhen looked twelve points eager.
Qin Yunuan raised her eyes to look at Dou Qing'e, whose hand had already been mentioned to her ear, the eight-treasure dotted agate hairpin on her bun reflected a beam of dazzling brilliance under the light of the rising sun, with a scarlet and heavy taste, which made people shudder. Qin Yunuan didn't want to take off Dou Qing'e's hypocritical mask, but Cui'e's death had already told her that everything needed to be considered in the long run, and what she faced in her previous life, including what she faced before, was only Dou Qing'e alone, but from this incident, it meant that she was facing the entire unfathomable Dou family, and she couldn't take this risk casually, besides, now her goal has been achieved.
"My lord, even if you wipe my neck today, I can't say it." The repeated words of the Zhao family's mother-in-law were like the strange tune of the broken guqin played by the broken guqin in Qin Qin's ears, which made him very annoyed, and the Zhao family's mother-in-law just said that it was a woman, but she refused to explain, which made him very impatient. In fact, Qin Zhen already had eight points of certainty in his heart, but unfortunately, there was no evidence.
"You old woman, full of gibberish, Aunt Xiu, give me a slap in the mouth." Dou Qing'e was already red-eyed, she pulled Xiu Gu to the front and pushed her to the Zhao family's mother-in-law, Xiu Gu was obviously a little hesitant, after all, this was in front of the master.
"Dou, you're getting bolder!" Qin Zhi's tone did not have any emotion at all, "Cui'e is your maid, no matter what the result is, as the mother of the Qin family, you will not be able to escape it, tomorrow I will prepare a carriage and send you to the Guoan Temple to recuperate, externally, I will only declare that you are sick and need to rest, and I will also find a new manager in the account room." ”
The disguised house arrest made Dou Qing'e's heart tremble: "Master, the concubine's maid did something wrong, and the concubine is indeed responsible, but if it is said that it is the concubine's instigation, now that there is no proof of death, the lord can't wronged the concubine like this." ”
"Hmph," Qin Zhi snorted coldly, "When did I say that you instructed it?" What are you anxious about? Now that there are too many things in the Qin family, the old things are brought up again, and the new things are not settled, so I will send you to recuperate, firstly, because I have thought about it, and secondly, it will also be good for you. ”
How can Dou Qing'e not be in a hurry, how majestic she was in the Qin family in the past, she can be called exquisite, and now, she has suffered many losses, once she has thought about it, this time, it is an indefinite period of house arrest, Qin Zhen even replaced her manpower in the account room, she looked at Qin Yunuan sideways, and her spicy and resentful eyes flashed with a trace of fire.
Qin Zhen actually decided to change Ye San, who had been in charge of the accounts in the accounting room, which was an unexpected gain.
When he returned to the yard, Qin Baochuan had already gotten up and took a cold shower in the yard alone, and when he saw Qin Yunuan coming back, he stopped the water scoop in his hand and gave his sister a salute, Qin Yunuan smiled slightly, and only asked him to remember to add clothes in time after taking a cold shower.
"The second young master is becoming more and more sensible now." Liao's mother and Man'er hugged Qin Yunuan into the house, if it warmed up today, there would have been no charcoal fire in the house for a long time, but a hot tea is still very necessary for Qin Yunuan, who has been busy all night.
