The secluded Yizhuang has a quiet thatched hut at its back, and the sunlight shines on the ridge covered with snow, which looks beautiful and comfortable. Under the ridge of the roof, Rong Fang's maid was tied to the table with five flowers, and her face was covered with ten layers of rice paper stained with water.

She threw herself desperately, but she couldn't make a sound, and finally she tried what little strength she had left, and was as quiet as a finch that had died early in the snow.

The mother-in-law finally stopped, stood on it and whispered: "Girl, don't blame me, someone ordered the old woman to do something, and the old woman didn't dare to disobey." They are all subordinates, and don't bite each other when they get there. ”

This will look at the girl of her age, the woman couldn't bear to breathe a sigh of relief, and waved her hand to the people around her: "Take it away." ”

Left and right stepped forward and put the person in a sack, sent him to the Fengjiang River, found the ice hole dug out in advance and threw the person in.

Not far from the ice cave, there was a carriage that had overturned on the ground, the body of which had been broken, and there was a shoe of Rong Fang on the ground.

……

In the main courtyard of the Baining Hou Mansion, when Aunt Jiang fed Rong Chuan the last spoonful of decoction, Rong Chuan asked, "Camellia hasn't come back yet?" ”

"Maybe it was her second sister who was playful, so she came back later."

"When I left, I said that I would come back early to endorse me......" Rong Chuan muttered, and the beard at the corner of his lips gradually appeared silver: "It won't be too late to come back." ”

"Maybe it's because I didn't memorize the book, so I'm hiding from the second sister."

"You go and ask someone to find it, and go to the Mingwu Marquis Mansion to ask."

"Okay, I'll send someone to ask." Aunt Jiang put down the medicine bowl in response, pulled the pillow on the side and put it under Rong Chuan: "Master Hou will rest first." ”

When the people sent out by the Marquis of Baining asked, they panicked the two families, because Rong Cheng had been away for more than an hour.

After running for an hour, you can run out of the imperial city. So in the imperial city, there are people in the teahouse where Rong Cheng likes to go to ask if anyone has seen the sixth lady of the Rong family. In the end, they found the Rong family's carriage by the Fengjiang River, as well as Rong Fang's shoes.

Rong Changning wanted to ask someone to find a grievance, but he thought that a rumor had just spread a while ago that he should avoid suspicion, so he sent someone to the Qingguo Mansion.

Xun Jingqi learned the news as if someone had poured a basin of oil on his head, and he couldn't stand up and hurriedly ran to find Rong Changning, Rong Changning felt uneasy, and begged Xun Jingqi to lead someone to chisel the ice surface of Fengjiang, and asked the red mother-in-law to go out of the city to find it.

Before leaving, Rong Changning struggled to hold Xiao Dong's hand and got up: "Aqi, you must find the person back for your master." ”

Xun Jingqi nodded, and ran out without waiting for a moment.

In the cold winter wax moon, the ice on the river surface is a few feet thick, and Xun Jingqi led people to dig the ice so big that it alarmed most of the imperial city. But Rong Camel seemed to dissipate with the wind, and there was no news for several days. After a busy day and a night, he finally found a female corpse in the lower reaches of the Fengjiang River, although it was soaked and frozen, Xun Jingqi could still recognize that this was not Rong Xuan.

couldn't go out to Rong Changning and couldn't close his eyes, as soon as he heard that Xun Jingqi had found the female corpse, he knelt down and went to the ancestral hall. There is no news from the Hou Mansion, and there is no news outside the city.

After boiling for five days, Rong Changning was exhausted and squinted his eyes, and the subordinate gently rubbed Rong Changning's knees, the quiet pear fragrance could no longer calm people, and just about to fall asleep, Xiaodong suddenly shouted: "Mastermother!" Mother-in-law is back! Miss Six is back too! ”

The fan-like eyelashes moved slightly, the open eyes were bloodshot, and the pale little face finally saw the anger: "Found it back?" How is the camelina ? ”

"It's all right, mother-in-law and Xun Xiaogongzi will send Miss Six back to the Hou Mansion first, and the mother-in-law will come back later. I was afraid that the mistress was too anxious, so I sent someone to talk back first. ”

"Okay." Rong Changning grabbed Xiao Dong's hand: "It's good to be back!" ”

"Don't worry, the housewife, everyone says that Miss Six is auspicious, and she must be fine." Seeing Rong Changning nodding, Xiao Dong thought that she could finally settle down, and took the opportunity to ask, "Why don't you take a break from the house?" Good and eye-catching? ”

Rong Changning twisted his eyebrows and shook his head, still puzzled in his heart: "Why did Camel suddenly disappear, there must have been a lot of emotions during the period of disappearing for so long." ”

"Wait a while, my mother-in-law will come back and ask."

As she was talking, Granny Hong walked into the courtyard gate, Rong Changning had a bunch of words in her throat, and Granny Hong opened her mouth and said, "Little Prince Xun has proposed." ”

After finishing speaking, he took off his blue-gray cloak and handed it to the hand of the maid on the side, and looked at Rong Chang Ningbo's unsurprised appearance, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled: "You're not curious?" ”

Rong Changning stretched out his hand and poured a cup of tea for Granny Hong: "Mother-in-law, let's eat some tea to warm up first." ”

The sixth lady who disappeared for a few days only returned home, and the Rong family must be in a hurry, Xun Jingqi proposed at this time, and Rong Changning realized that things were not simple.

"Xun Xiaogongzi didn't open his mouth to propose marriage, but called Qingguo Gong to bring a gift list to Baining Hou Mansion to propose marriage. That's why I came back so late. ”

"Did my father say yes?"

"Master Hou agreed, but ......" Speaking of this, the red mother-in-law subconsciously looked at Rong Changning, for fear that she would say the wrong thing Rong Changning was too excited.

"But what?" Let's play

"But Miss Rongliu will be like she has lost her mind and gone crazy, crying and crying, not only the water and rice will not enter, but it will be so chaotic that people will not say anything when they go to ask."

"Why?" Rong Changning raised his eyes and looked at Granny Hong: "Where did you find Camelina?" ”

In the face of Rong Changning's questioning, Granny Hong was not easy to answer, so she turned her face away: "Xiao Gongzi Xun will come over later." ”

……

The snow in the cold winter is charming, and the flowers and branches in the plum garden are criss-crossed, and they are printed on the ground by the moonlight, like a freshly made danqing. The people under the brocade were reluctant to go back, raising their hands to touch the flower branches, and the dark fragrance remained on their fingertips.

The maid was waiting behind with a lantern, Rong Changning stepped on the moonlight and the fine snow creaked, and the direction she looked at was the direction of the moon and the direction of the dome.

I repeatedly recalled Xun Jingqi's firm appearance when he spoke during the day, and it was really the same as Bai Chuxi: "I must marry Rong Xuan, I must marry." ”

With a 'dang', the green malachite rosary was thrown on the desk by Rong Changning, and he raised his eyes to look at Xun Jingqi: "Mother-in-law is so strange, and you are so strange." ”

Seeing that Rong Changning's eyes were as sharp as sword light, Xun Jingqi didn't dare to look directly for too long, so he only bowed his head and said nothing.

"Where the hell did you find her?"

“……”

"Tell me, where did you find it?"

"In ...... Cuiyun Tower in Tongzhou. ”

"Cuiyun Building? Where? ”

"It's the same place as the Qingyuefang Zangxiang Pavilion." Xun Jingqi lowered his head and bit the corners of his mouth, his face no longer had the grandeur of a young man: "Mother-in-law found a way up and down to find Tongzhou, I ran two horses to death, it's still too late." When we arrived, it was too late. ”

Rong Changning, a girl with such a delicate appearance, was sent to a place like Qingyuefang, what happened Rong Changning didn't dare to think about it, and only leaned on the cushion with a weak body.

"Those people originally wanted to sell Guanwai to Pursion, but the steward of Cuiyun Building gave Pursion a deduction and wanted to sell it fresh...... Just ......"

Xun Jingqi couldn't say anything, so he knelt on the ground: "Master, my grandfather has gone to the Hou Mansion to propose marriage, and the Hou Ye has already nodded." When I came back, my mother-in-law and I had already shut up those people, and no one in the imperial city would know about it. ”

"Who did that?"

"My mother-in-law found the driver who drove the car for Camel that day." Xun Jingqi couldn't bear to smile bitterly, and couldn't wait for himself to suffer all the grievances for Rong Fang: "My mother-in-law interrogated them and asked someone to record their confessions, sign and draw them, and they were also sent to Beixun to take care of them." This confession should have been sent to the Baining Marquis Mansion, but I was afraid that I would be wronged, so I took it to my wife privately. ”

Xiao Dong went down and took the box in Xun Jingqi's hand and sent it to Rong Changning, Xun Jingqi couldn't kneel, Rong Changning had to open the box one by one, and the corners of his eyes drooped when he looked at it.

Closed his eyes and looked up, and sighed in his heart for a long time, 'the disaster of the wall'......

"Master, let's go back." Xiao Dong's words recalled Rong Changning's thoughts, and then she felt the wind in the cold night cut across her face like a blade, and she asked, "Ah Qi later, went to the Baining Marquis Mansion?" ”

"The little boy said that he wanted to guard the sixth lady, so he went to the Hou Mansion."

"Say, did I hurt Camelina?"

"Don't think so, mistress."

Rong Changning seemed to be asking the moon and asking himself: "How kind was the eldest sister in the past?" How did it become what it is now? ”

"Do you regret it?"

Rong Changning blinked his eyes and saw Granny Hong walking under the plum blossoms wearing a cloak: "Give you another chance, will you pull the entire Bai family, Beixun Li clan and Liang family, and go to abolish the prince?" ”

Rong Changning was silent, not knowing how to answer, but he began to miss Bai Chuxi in his heart.

"Even if you do, the result may not be good. The decision that has been made after weighing it again and again is that you can give her the best result. As for why she became like this...... "Granny Red shook her head and sighed, "I have long expected it. ”

"Why did my mother-in-law say that?"

"Back then, the prince was almost beaten to death by the Marquis of Baining, as the eldest sister, she didn't protect her younger brother in the ancestral hall but waited for you at the door, why? Later, you went to Yucheng to worship the regent and his wife, and the Marquis of Baining took the opportunity to bring the outer room back to the house, she didn't care about it, only obeyed, and waited for you to come back before saying what she didn't want, why? It's not that she is afraid that she will be targeted after she comes forward, someone has a grudge against herself, blocking her way into the East Palace. She is even more afraid that you will replace her, because she knows that the original candidate for the crown princess is not her, but you. ”

Rong Changning lowered his head and pulled the brocade fur, and pulled the tip of his red nose. It seems that he finally understood the sentence of the saint back then, 'Rong Ling may not appreciate it'.

She said in a tired voice: "It's cool, go back." I'll go back tomorrow and see Camelina. ”

After speaking, the maid carrying the lamp opened the way and led Rong Changning to leave the plum garden and go back to the room to rest. Because of Rong Wei's misfortune, Granny Hong was extra careful at every step. Follow behind, keeping an eye out for every gust of wind and snow in the dark night.
