Chu Yue'an was compiling a boxing book, since she had promised Shen Yimei to tell her kung fu, she always had to teach her some real skills, at this time Chu Yueyun entered, gasped for breath, and said, "Something happened." ”

"What's going on, speak slowly." Chu Yuean said.

"The news just came that Yu Haoyan committed suicide."

"How so?" Chu Yue'an frowned, "Good and dignified, how could he commit suicide?" ”

"It seems that he insulted the maid of the Qi Palace, was caught red-handed, and then committed suicide in fear of crime." Chu Yueyun said.

"The scientific expedition is imminent, how can he go to insult a maid? is still the maid of the Qi Palace. Chu Yue'an's eyes narrowed, "There must be something strange about this matter." ”

"Not really." Chu Yueyun said, "It's just that there were so many pairs of eyes looking at that time, Yu Haoyan couldn't think about it, and now I'm afraid that there are ten mouths that can't be said clearly, didn't he bear this false accusation in vain?" Could this matter have something to do with Lord Minzhi, but why did she do it? Why did she go to great lengths to frame a student? ”

"Maybe it's because Yu Haoyan is close to Ninghou Mansion." Chu Yue'an said coldly, "I thought that after the incident of the last time, everyone could have nothing to do with it, but now I see, she will not let me go." Instead of waiting for her to strike at me, I might as well take the initiative. ”

"It's just that she is the county lord and the royal prince, and it is still a little difficult and dangerous to do something to her." Chu Yueyun said, "She is biting us right now, we just need to divert her attention." She doesn't just hate us, don't forget that there is another one in the eldest princess's place. ”

Chu Yue'an's eyes narrowed: "What you said is reasonable, I'll think about this matter again." ”

Green Garden.

"I originally thought that your father must have a noble character, but who knew that he would do such a shameless thing and kill himself." Aunt Qian said regretfully, "It's a shame that you haven't officially decided to marry." ”

"Don't say it, there must be a misunderstanding in this matter, he is not that kind of person." Chu Yue wiped the tears on her face, how could such a nerd who would blush when talking to girls, how could he tease the maids of the Qi Palace? She is also a smart person, so she naturally thought that this matter must be related to the county lord of Minzhi.

There was a resentful light in her eyes, Lord Minzhi, even if you have a hatred for Ninghou Mansion, why bother to frame an unrelated outsider? A student with a great future? What a vicious heart!

She turned out the painting that Yu Haoyan gave herself, she had already compromised and was willing to go with him to live some hard days, why didn't God let her go? Is this the punishment for her greed?

"But now it's happened." Aunt Qian persuaded, "Didn't you always want to marry him, and your father won't talk about it now, but don't mention this person in front of your father, lest your father's face be dull and angry at you." ”

"When did you say that?" Chu Yue scolded, "If you don't know anything, just say a few words." ”

"You kid, I'm not doing this for your good." Aunt Qian sneered.

Yu Haoyan couldn't bear such a shameful humiliation, and in exchange for innocence at the cost of his life, in the end he just left a sentence of suicide in fear of sin, this matter caused a lot of fluctuations among the candidates, but the scientific examination is imminent, everyone has more important things to do, and no one cares.

On this day, the county lord of Minzhi ordered a large table of dishes for Qi Yuzhi in the restaurant, and he was distressed to hold the dishes for him: "Eat more, you see that you must have worked too hard these days, and you have lost weight." ”

Qi Yuzhi's life is not easy now, now his mother was sent to the temple to pray for blessings, the old lady looked at him unpleasantly because of Chu Yuezi's affairs, and his father and eldest brother had their own things to be busy, so he could only hurry up and work hard to gain fame, so that the family could look down on him.

"I'm also working hard for our future." Qi Yuzhi grabbed the hand of the county lord of Minzhi and said affectionately.

"You are the duke's house, you have your own shade, and I am the lord of the county, my father will naturally carry you, but you don't have to compete with those poor students." Lord Minzhi said, "How can they be compared to you?" ”

"Although I am the second son-in-law, this Qi State Mansion will be my eldest brother's in the future, and my eldest brother was born in Tanhua back then, if I am far worse than my eldest brother, how can I gain a foothold?" Qi Yuzhi said, "No matter what, I still have to have an identity worthy of you. ”

Lord Minzhi was naturally moved, but she also remembered one thing, Yuzhi is the second son, and he will have to earn a title by himself in the future, but if he doesn't have his eldest brother, he will be the rightful heir, right?

"I heard that a candidate died?" Qi Yuzhi asked again, "Do you know what's going on?" ”

"He molested the maid in our house, and it is not a pity to die." Lord Minzhi said lightly, "Don't think about those bad things, you can eat more and make up for your body." During this time, you are concentrating on preparing for the exam, and we are afraid that we will not be able to meet from time to time, what should I do if I miss you? ”

Qi Yuzhi untied his sachet and handed it to the county lord of Minzhi, and said: "If you think of me, you smell this thing, I have always worn this sachet by my side, just like I am by the county lord's side." ”

The two went down to the restaurant after dinner, and on the way back, they ran into the carriage of the eldest princess, and the county lord of Minzhi hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "I have seen the eldest princess." ”

The eldest princess opened the curtain, glanced at Lord Minzhi, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Minzhi, why are you here?" ”

"The palace is bored, come out to relax." Lord Minzhi smiled obediently, "Did the eldest princess just come out of the palace?" ”

"Yes, the Queen Mother misses me, I just went to the palace to ask the Queen Mother to go to the palace, her old man has been very lonely for the past two days, if you are free, you will also enter the palace to accompany her." The eldest princess smiled lightly.

"Okay, Minzhi remembered."

The carriage left slowly, and when she passed by Qi Yuzhi's side, the curtain of the carriage opened, and Chu Yuezi was also in the car at the moment, her expression was indifferent but she glanced at Qi Yuzhi's body, making Qi Yuzhi tremble, she hadn't seen her for a few months, she seemed to be more seductive than before, and when she glanced at it, his heart seemed to be crisp.

"Chu Yuezi?" Lord Minzhi frowned, "She really followed the eldest princess's side. ”

She glanced back at the man next to her, saw his lost appearance, kicked over, and said angrily: "Yo, which goblin are you hooked again?" ”

Qi Yuzhi came back to his senses and hurriedly said: "What nonsense, I was thinking about how Chu Yuezi got a piece of two with the eldest princess, who doesn't know the eldest princess...... Chu Yuezi turned out to be the daughter of the Hou Mansion, and she was so shameless, I was really blind before. ”

Lord Minzhi was a little relieved, but he was still a little surprised: "You are not allowed to look at her more in the future, you know?" ”

"Her kind of appearance, I feel dirty my eyes when I look at her more." Qi Yuzhi swore to the sky, "Don't be angry, I only have you in my heart, my friendship with you can be seen by the sun and the moon, I don't want to do anything else now, I just want to marry you as soon as possible after high school, I want to stay with you every day." ”

Lord Minzhi blushed when he heard this: "Don't listen to your nonsense, I'm going back to the palace first." ”

She ran away happily, but Qi Yuzhi reluctantly glanced in the direction Chu Yuezi left.

In the spring of February, when it was warm, Zhao Qianru's body was getting worse day by day. Chu Yuan was angry at Zhao Qianru's deception, but in the end, she was still the wife who had been with her for more than ten years, and she was the biological mother of his son, and she still invited a doctor to take a look, but her physical condition was still deteriorating.

On this day, Zhao Qianru was drinking medicine, but she was coughing non-stop, as if she was going to cough out her entire lungs, she pushed the medicine aside: "Don't drink it, after drinking so much medicine, my body still doesn't get better." ”

"Madame, how can you do it without medicine." The maid persuaded, "You better drink a little more, otherwise how can your body get better, you can take care of your body, the sixth brother is still young, and I still need you." ”

As he was talking, the maid outside reported inside: "Madam, the jade concubine has come to visit you." ”

Zhao Qianru smiled bitterly: "Right now, only she can come to see me, hurry up and invite her in." ”

She didn't have the heart to dress up, so she looked so haggard, Concubine Yu entered, and when she saw that she was so absent, she was shocked in her heart, and said in surprise: "Sister, why are you so haggard?" But you're not in good health? ”

Zhao Qianru sighed, and said weakly: "Only the last time they said that I was fake pregnant, my body has not been better, more than a month, day by day, maybe I will go that day." It's just that I'm dead, but I can't rest assured that my children, sister, my good sister, you must promise me one thing, if I really die, my poor children, you must see these things more than me, and don't let them be wronged. ”

"Don't say such discouraged words, your life is still long, your own children will watch for themselves." Concubine Yu couldn't help but shed tears when she said this, "It's the house leak that happened to rain overnight, and your body is at such a point now, we won't have a good time." ”

"But what happened?" Zhao Qianru asked.

"Hey." Concubine Yu sighed, "Do you remember what I told you about the five food scatters last time?" I thought that our Zhao family could make a fortune with this, but how did I know that the court banned the five foods and was not allowed to sell them anymore. ”

"Huh?" Zhao Qianru was shocked, "I gave you all my private money to do this business last time." ”

"Not only your money, but also the furniture I have saved over the years, and the money of the Zhao family, are all with you." Concubine Yu shook her head gently, "Is our family unlucky?" However, I still have a few shops in my hands that can make money, as long as I can survive this time, when the wind is too much, we will continue to sell five food scatters, and we will definitely be able to make a lot of money. ”

"Is it dangerous?"

"There is naturally danger, and it is precisely because of the danger that there is no competition, and now our family is already unable to make ends meet, so we have to take risks." Concubine Yu said, "I'll plan this matter, you don't have to worry." ”

"There's one more thing I'm not willing to do." Zhao Qianru thought for a while and said, "I think that my fake pregnancy was framed by Chu Yue'an, but there is no evidence in my hand, I have fallen to such a point step by step, she has contributed a lot, my current body is not as good as day by day, but I am unwilling to watch her live a prosperous life!" ”

Concubine Yu thought for a moment and said: "Since she is proficient in medical skills, I am afraid that she will not be able to deal with poisoning, but I think of a person, this person is Miao Jiang, Miao Jiang is the best at Gu art and is rich in poisonous snakes, insects, rats and ants, she is not afraid of assassins, not afraid of poison, I really don't believe that she is really iron, she is not afraid of anything." ”

Zhao Qianru reminded: "This girl's identity is still a little special, otherwise the old lady would have done it herself, but she is a little afraid of her identity, it is best not to leave any evidence, lest someone settle accounts in the future." ”

Concubine Yu's eyes narrowed: "Don't worry." ”

Another day, Sun Sanjie went out to buy some food, she is now trying her best to tie up with the new chef in Tianhe Courtyard, because of her diligence, she has become his left and right hand, and also followed him to learn a few dishes, cooking skills have increased greatly, the cook believes him, on weekdays, the Hou Mansion buys some things that are not bought, that is, she is sent out to buy back, from which she can also eat some oil and water, plus the second lady rewards the next person generously, but also for the lack of her silver taels, these days really save some money, this small day is not bad.

As soon as she bought some condiments and came out of the shop, she called two men to block her way.

"Get out of the way, what do you want to do? I'm from Ninghou Mansion! ”

"Our master wants to see you." The man said, "Come with us." ”

Saying that, the two of them took Sun Sanjie to an inn with a half-dragged half-pull, the door opened, and she was pushed into the room.

There was a woman in this room drinking tea leisurely, she was startled when she saw the woman's face, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowed: "The slave has seen the jade concubine." ”

Concubine Yu slowly turned the teacup in her hand and smiled softly: "It's not easy, you still know me, I thought you had been in Tianhe Courtyard for a long time, and you didn't remember who I was when you saw it!" ”

"How could it not be remembered? In the past, when the slave maid was serving by the lady's side, she was not less cared for by the jade concubine, and the slave and maid would not forget it even if they were toothless. ”

"Really?" Concubine Yu smiled sarcastically, "Madame is in trouble right now, but I have never seen you go to see it once." ”

"The slave doesn't dare, the old lady ordered that no one should look at her." Third Sister Sun said, "The slave maid is more than enough but not enough." ”

"Since you have Madame in your heart, then Madame has become what she is now, should you avenge Madame?" Concubine Yu asked lightly.

"Huh? The jade concubine looks down on the slave and maid too much, where does the slave and maid have that ability? Third Sister Sun said with a bitter face.

"I'll help you." Concubine Yu took out a bottle from her arms and put it on the table, "You are doing things in Tianhe Courtyard right now, it is the most convenient, you only need to put this thing in Chu Yue'an's diet, you can rest assured, this thing is not poison, Chu Yue'an can't find it." ”

"This ......," Third Sister Sun knelt on the ground and said in embarrassment, "Concubine Yu, you don't know anything, that Second Miss Chu is really powerful, and the slave really doesn't have the courage to do so." ”

"You also have a sister, who is on an errand by my side right now, and the little girl is born smart, and I am ready to reuse it." Concubine Yu played with her fingers and said lightly, "But if you are disobedient, I may choose to buy her to the Qinglou." ”

"Don't!" Third Sister Sun hurriedly waved her hand, "Don't raise your noble hand, the slave is just such a sister." ”

Concubine Yu pushed the bottle on the table: "Then I'll wait for your good news." ”

Third Sister Sun climbed to the table, accepted the bottle tremblingly, swallowed her saliva and said, "Slave maid...... The slave will not let the Jade Concubine down. ”

"Alright, you can go back." Concubine Yu said lightly, "It's too late to go back, beware that they are going to suspect you." ”

"Yes, the slave is retiring." Miss Sun got up from the ground, hung her head and retreated.

"You two come in." Concubine Yu said indifferently, "You all keep an eye on Third Sister Sun, and once she succeeds, kill her immediately." ”

"Yes."

Third Sister Sun returned to Tianhe Courtyard, and Xiao Huai stepped forward to call: "Third Sister Sun!" ”

"Oh, little ancestor, you're scared me to death." Sun Sanjie clutched her chest and said, "This person's scary poetry will scare people to death!" ”

"Why are you so weak-hearted, it can't be that you have done something wrong, right?" Xiaohuai said jokingly, "What about the candied fruit I asked you to bring me?" ”

"Look at my brain, I forgot!" Third Sister Sun said, "Don't pout, you won't forget it next time." ”

Back in the kitchen, Third Sister Sun bought everything the cook ordered, and the cook hurriedly let her rest. It stands to reason that this is the inner courtyard of the Hou Mansion, and there can be no men, but this cook used to be an errand boy in the palace, and he has long been cleaned, so he doesn't have so many scruples.

On this day, all the girls in Heyuan are sixteen or seventeen, but this third sister Sun is older, and she has some common topics with him, and the third sister Sun still has a little bit of beauty, so he has some other thoughts in his heart, he poured a bowl of tea and brought it over: "Are you tired?" ”

"Just buy something, what are you tired of!" Third Sister Sun also wants to find someone to live with, this cook also agrees with her, if it doesn't come out of the matter of the Jade Concubine, she thinks that one day she can go to open a small restaurant with him to live.

"In a few days, I will send all the money I saved to my mother's family, so that they can use the money to redeem me, my deed of sale is now in the hands of Aunt Xiang, Aunt Xiang is easy to talk to, she will definitely promise, you are free, let's go out and live together."

The cook was excited: "The money I have saved over the years is enough for us to open a small restaurant to live, with my ability, I don't have to worry about no business, and you will be the proprietress at that time." ”

Third Sister Sun sighed deeply, just hoping that everything would go well.
