Mama Huang was silent for a while, just now she drilled the horns of the bull, and kept thinking in the direction that the side concubine was dead.

If the concubine was just cheating to death, then everything would make sense.

"Why did Old Concubine Ling do this?"

Qing Yue was also shocked when she heard this, she was still young and couldn't understand Old Concubine Ling's frustrated actions.

"Of course, I think it doesn't make sense for the side concubine to stay in King Ling's Mansion, let her go somewhere else and continue to play her value."

Mama Huang smiled disdainfully, she hadn't heard of such a scene before, but she hadn't remembered it for a while.

"Let's see where the side concubine will be used this time?"

Murong Hui still had some sympathy for this side concubine in her heart, after all, Princess Ling was dying, and the county lord of Wanyi was about to get married.

With the temperament of Murong Kai and Sang Ning, as long as she doesn't make trouble, she will follow her adopted son in the future and live her own life in King Ling's Mansion, and she can still be fed and clothed, which can be regarded as a good solution.

But Old Concubine Ling obviously didn't intend to let her go so easily, just thinking about this made her feel a little chill in her heart.

"The old slave will keep people watching, and with the exact news, he will immediately tell His Highness, it's better to rest early."

Seeing that it was not early, Mama Huang reminded loudly.

Murong Hui nodded, but she didn't sleep too soundly, as soon as she closed her eyes, the appearance of the concubine appeared in front of her.

Two days later, Mama Huang hurriedly walked out, saying that the results had been checked, and there was an extra concubine in the mansion of the adult who had recently entered the Criminal Department.

The old slave specially asked people to go to see it, and the concubine and the side concubine looked very similar.

"From a pro-side concubine to a concubine from an official of the Fourth Rank Criminal Department, such a turn is really big enough, and I don't know how this side concubine feels in her heart."

After listening to Murong Hui's conjecture in the past two days, Gao Ziyue was shocked by herself, she didn't expect that there would be such a thing in the world.

"Your Highness, this matter has nothing to do with us, it's better not to investigate it, otherwise it will spread out, this is really a royal scandal."

Xu Qing sighed and said helplessly, feeling a little sympathetic to the side concubine in her heart.

Murong nodded, and never mentioned it again.

It didn't take long for Rong Guo to usher in the first snow of early winter, and according to Rong Guo's custom, the whole family had to eat dumplings together on this day.

Therefore, as soon as the city gate opened in the morning, Murong Hui took two one-day vacations and went home to reunite with his family.

Sang Ning was called into the palace by her, and went to Fengyi Palace with her to eat dumplings early in the morning.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw a bright-looking woman in a red cloak and glanced at her sideways, then turned her head and continued to talk to Murong Jun.

Murong Hui had long been accustomed to Princess Rouhe's reaction, and after saluting the three of them, she sat aside, waiting for Murong An and Murong Ning to come over, and then ate dumplings together.

The men waited for a quarter of an hour before the two brothers ran into the main hall, their cloaks covered with fine snow, and their little faces flushed.

Seeing them panting and saluting, I knew that they must have gone to a snowball fight, and when I saw that it was too late, I hurried over.

"Catch your breath before eating, you two really have a moment of silence."

Lin Yingxue ordered the palace people to pour water for the two, and while gently helping them dust off the snow on their heads, they scolded softly.

The two of them held teacups in their hands, honestly letting Lin Yingxue fiddle, and at the end Murong An asked, "Mother, is it made of donkey meat filling?" “

"There are donkey meat fillings, mutton fillings and chicken fillings, and eating that kind depends on fate."

Seeing her say this, Lin Yingxue couldn't help but scratch her nose and said softly.

When Murong An heard this, he couldn't help frowning and glanced at his younger brother on the side.

"The mutton has a foul smell, and the beef has to be steamed and harder, which is easy to see."

Murong Ning muttered in a low voice, in fact, everyone on the side heard it, but they all couldn't help laughing, and no one said anything.

Murong Hui's meal was all chicken and mutton, and the donkey meat was eaten by the two brothers.

"Before I came to Rongguo, I often heard people say that Rongguo people were cunning and treacherous. But after I came, I realized that what they said was not true, I think this place is very good, and the banquet at home is not so warm. ”

On the way back, Sang Ning couldn't help but sigh.

She had a somewhat gentle look on her face, as if she liked to live in Rongguo a little.

"My cousin has a gentle personality, and you will definitely get along well in the future."

Murong Hui saw that Sang Ning was in such a good mood, so he said lightly.

When Sang Ning heard this, he couldn't help but pat Murong Hui and said in a low voice: "You are really open-mouthed." ”

The two laughed and returned to the East Side Hall, and as soon as they sat down in the small living room, they saw Qingyue coming over and said, "Your Highness, Miss Xu came back just after noon." ”

Murong Hui was not much surprised by this, in the past, Xu Yan was in the Xu Mansion, and she could stay for a while longer.

Now that Xu Yan is far away from her hometown, she naturally will not be happy to stay at home with her stepmother.

"She doesn't seem to be in a good mood."

Seeing Murong Hui's expression, Qingyue knew that her master didn't take it to heart at all, so she whispered another sentence.

Only then did Murong Hui raise her head, look at Qingyue with a little surprise, and let her continue.

Xu Qing is a person who is very good at controlling her emotions, and many times she gives people the feeling that she is even a little cold.

Therefore, to see her crying, she must have encountered a very sad thing, and she couldn't solve this matter.

"Let's go see Xu Qing, it just so happens that you haven't been to Ningcui Palace yet."

Seeing this, Murong Hui couldn't help but become worried, and turned her head to say to Sang Ning.

Sang Ning naturally didn't agree, and she could see that the relationship between Murong Hui and these two companions was very good.

The two rushed to Ningcui Palace, and heard the palace maid say that as soon as Xu Qing came back, she locked herself in the room, and the palace maid knocked on the door several times, but she didn't answer.

Murong Hui sighed in her heart, and hurriedly ran towards the bedroom, she raised her hand and patted the door a few times, but there was still no response inside.

"Xu Qing, Xu Qing hurry up and open the door, otherwise I will hit the door!"

She panicked in her heart and couldn't help but raise her voice.

Soon Xu Qing's footsteps were heard in the room, and then the door opened, Xu Qing was wearing a cloak, her face was as white as paper, and the whole person seemed to have been drained of all her vitality.

"What's wrong with you?"

Murong Hui couldn't help but be worried, she had never realized that a girl in her teens could be haggard like this in an instant.

"Hui'er, I'm really going to die."

The moment Xu Qing saw Murong Hui, the whole person collapsed, threw herself into Murong Hui's arms, and broke down and cried.

Sang Ning frowned and looked at all this, then patted Murong Hui and said, "Let's talk about it first." ”

Murong Hui hurriedly helped Xu Qing into the room, and when she saw that she had calmed down, she gently patted her on the back and said, "Don't cry, what's going on, tell me." ”

"Your father won't set another one for you, an unreliable family affair."

Seeing that she refused to say anything, only bowed her head and wept, Murong Hui couldn't help but take the lead in speaking.

"It's not me this time, it's Xu Yan, he's thirteen years old in the new year, and he also won the show, so naturally someone is eyeing him."

With a sigh, Xu Qing said helplessly.

It's not the first time she's felt powerless, but every time she's hated it.

In her opinion, such a bad thing fell on Xu Yan than on herself, which just made her uncomfortable.

"Which one?"

At this time, they heard a voice behind them, and several people didn't need to turn their heads to know that it was Gao Ziyue who came back and brought back two large bags of things.

Gao Ziyue has a large bag and a small bag every time, and this time there are naturally a lot.

She seemed to be in a good mood, took out the snacks from her bag, put them on a plate and pushed them to everyone, looking like she was eating and chatting.

Xu Qing smiled bitterly, and Gao Ziyue realized that there must be something wrong with this marriage.

"It's really unlucky that we can encounter this kind of thing every time."

She put down the snack, and she couldn't eat it anymore, so she said helplessly.

"Chen Guogong's eldest daughter is Chen Tao as his wife, and his concubine Chen Yu is a concubine."

After a while, Xu Qing said with difficulty, her voice was full of sadness.

Except for Sang Ning, everyone else couldn't help but be stunned when they heard the news.

Gao Ziyue straightened her waist even more, and said in shock: "Your father is much more ruthless than my father, Chen Tao is a fool." ”

"But Chen Guogong's Mansion must be very powerful, if this family business is completed, Xu Yan can get the support of Chen Guogong's Mansion."

Sonin calmly analyzed, in her opinion, this is not very bad.

Murong Hui glanced at Sang Ning strangely, she had felt that Sang Ning had changed a little bit before, and it seemed that she had grown up in an instant.

Now I feel more and more that Sunny has become too much.

"How can you think like that, how terrible it is to live with a fool for the rest of your life!"

Gao Ziyue's face was shocked, she really didn't expect Sang Ning to say such a thing, it was too cold-blooded.

"Didn't your father live with your mother all the time, and didn't he have more than one concubine? What's more, he has to take care of a lot of outside affairs, and he doesn't have much time to contact your mother. ”

Sang Ning turned her head to look at Gao Ziyue, she had always wondered how Murong Hui became friends with a girl from a merchant family.

Now I understand, probably because this girl is a little innocent, which is exactly what people like them don't have.

Gao Ziyue opened her mouth, but she was powerless to refute.

"Does your brother know about this?"

Seeing that Xu Qing had been silent, Murong Hui asked.

Xu Qing wiped away her tears and said, "My aunt has already received a letter from my uncle, and I think it won't be long before he will know." ”

Xu Qing knows her father and her younger brother better.

Xu Yan is a very proud person, and he must not accept this kind of thing of marrying a fool and climbing relatives.

"Then let's just wait a few days and see how your brother reacts. If he doesn't agree, let's think of another way to help push off this marriage. ”

Murong Hui took a deep breath, grabbed Xu Qing's hand and said lightly.

Xu Qing responded, but she didn't react much, she was already thinking in her heart, how to stir up the marriage, she felt that Xu Yan would definitely not agree.
