If someone else called the eldest lady mother, Shi Qingqian would have been angered by vinegar a long time ago. But it was precisely because that person was Jing'an that Shi Qingqian felt sorry for her, so he had to decide to temporarily 'lend her' his mother for a while.

When Shi Ke found the family doctor, Shi Yuan and the eldest lady had already taken Shi Qingqian and Jing'an to the main courtyard.

As for the rest of the Hou Mansion, although they came out to welcome Shi Qingqian home, they never had a chance to interject. Shi Yuan looked at so many people, and felt irritable, so he used the excuse that it was already dark, and asked the people in the second and third rooms to go back.

There are only two left, the second aunt and Shi Peng's mother and daughter, who ostensibly claim that they are also from a big house, although they are concubines, but they are very worried about Shi Qingqian's safety, but in fact, they have their own small abacus in their hearts.

Shi Yuan saw that the mother and daughter said that it was for Shi Qingqian, so it was difficult to drive people away, so he had to let them follow.

Most people's eyes were glued to Shi Qingqian's body, but Shi Qingqian himself could see the expression on Shi Peng's face clearly.

It's not the joy of my sister returning home for the rest of her life after the catastrophe, or even the loss that the object of extreme love has always been back at home, but it's a kind of surprise, anger, and a little fear.

She recalled her speculation when she had just been sold to the Red Silk Courtyard, and at this time, looking at Shi Peng and her second aunt, she couldn't help but wonder in her heart: Could it be that this matter was arranged by Shi Peng?

However, it is impossible to rely on Shi Peng and the second aunt alone, and they did not buy the murderer. The financial resources that killed people, the second is that they don't have the opportunity to make such a big move.

If it was really Shi Peng's doing, then it must have nothing to do with the second aunt's family. She always remembered that the father of the second aunt was the imperial history of Nanting, and his career was cut off by Shi Yuan, and he must have a monstrous hatred for the Hou Mansion.

But now is not the time to think about who has done the trick.

The eldest lady placed Jing'an in the side hall of the Baoyue Courtyard where Shi Qingqian lived, mainly because she was afraid that she would not be used to living alone in the Hou Mansion, so she let her get closer to Shi Qingqian.

The family doctor came to prescribe medicine for Shi Qingqian first, and then went to Jing'an. When he came back to report to the eldest lady and Shi Yuan, he looked sorry, saying that such a young girl had been whipped more than 20 times, and her originally white back had all been peeled off.

Although Shi Qingqian put a plaster on her on the first night, the wound was not cleaned, and there was no follow-up care, and several wounds were already inflamed at this time, but I was afraid that she would have scars in the future.

"Alas, that kid is also pitiful." The eldest lady sighed while soaking the cotton cloth in the copper basin.

Shi Qingqian and the others hadn't taken a bath for many days, because they had injuries on their bodies, so they could only wipe their bodies with cotton cloths dipped in warm water.

The eldest lady had already arranged for a maid to help Jing'an freshen up, but on Shi Qingqian's side, she naturally had to do it herself.

Shi Qingqian looked at the haggard face of the eldest lady, and couldn't bear to ask her to work anymore, so he said with a crying voice: "Mother, it's good to let Xiaolian and Xue Ying do these things, mother, go and rest......"

Shi Ke was also around Shi Qingqian's bedside at this time, he knew how the eldest lady had come over these days, but he also understood that the eldest lady's temperament was impossible to leave Shi Qingqian behind and go to sleep by herself, so he smiled bitterly and explained for her, "Good girl, my mother can't sleep if I don't take a good look at you tonight." ”

The eldest lady nodded on the side and continued to wipe Shi Qingqian's arm.

The apology in Shi Qing's heart was about to overwhelm her to the point that she couldn't breathe, so she hugged the eldest lady's hand regardless of it, "Mother, it's all because Qi'er is not good, and Qi'er will never run around in the future......" There is a coquettish meaning between the words.

Shi Peng, who was standing on the side, had already lost her breath, what she was most afraid of was that one day she would find her head, and then she would be finished, all over!

"The seventh sister was kidnapped and sold to the Qinglou just by going to the street with the lord of Jing'an, and my sister was also worried that she couldn't eat at home......"

It is said that the more nervous and weak people are, the easier it is to make mistakes, and Shi Peng just confirmed this statement, she can stand aside quietly and say nothing. But she wanted to show her concern for Shi Qingqian, but she completely forgot the truth of 'saying too much wrong'.

When Shi Qingqian heard this, his eyes immediately became sharp, and he pretended to be careless, "Daddy doesn't know what I was going to do that day, but the fourth sister knows it in detail." ”

The people in the room were stunned when they heard Shi Qingqian's words. Shi Peng and the second aunt were even more frightened and scolded themselves in their hearts.

Shi Yuan and the eldest lady both understood what Shi Qingqian meant in his words, but now there is no direct evidence, after all, the two of them are elders, and they can't speak at will.

On the contrary, it was Shi Ke, who couldn't sit still immediately when he heard this, he stood up suddenly, strode in front of Shi Peng, and grabbed her collar, "Shi Peng, if you ask me to find out that this matter is related to you, you just wait to die!" ”

"I ...... I ......" Shi Peng was so frightened by Shi Ke's momentum that his brain didn't move, and he couldn't say anything for a long time.

Seeing this, the second aunt didn't know if it was out of instinct or something else, she knelt down at Shi Yuan's feet with a 'poof', and shouted heartbreakingly: "Master, master, please be clear!" Peng'er has been chanting sutras and worshipping Buddha in the Buddha hall these days, and then ...... She just has this heart, and she doesn't have the courage! ”

"So, do you still have this heart?" Shi Yuan was so annoyed by her that he frowned, and said impatiently.

The second aunt swallowed her saliva with difficulty, so frightened that she couldn't speak at all, and she only cared about trembling on her body.

She knew that her daughter had contacted her grandfather privately, and naturally she also knew that Shi Peng asked her father to contact a group of robbers, although Shi Peng had never opened her mouth to herself about the plan to kidnap Shi Qingqian, but what she had done to her knew it!

"Someone!" Shi Ke couldn't bear it anymore, shouted towards the door, and called the entourage waiting outside, "Send these two mother and daughter back to the side courtyard for me, and don't let them out before the matter is clear!" ”

In the Hou Mansion, the difference between the concubines and the concubines is equivalent to the difference between the master and the servant. To put it mildly, the children of the concubines, including the aunts who are concubines, are just subordinates who are well paid and don't have to do rough work.

Therefore, Shi Ke, who is the son-in-law, has the right to confine the second aunt and Shi Peng.

Shi Peng's mother and daughter, who were escorted down by their subordinates, could no longer speak. Regarding Shi Ke's seemingly impersonal approach, Shi Yuan and the eldest lady did not refute him, because of their identity, they couldn't just deal with Shi Peng and the second aunt, but Shi Ke could.

His approach can be regarded as opening their mouths for them.

The eldest lady was afraid that Shi Qingqian would think too much, so she hurriedly rubbed the hair of the little man in her arms, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, no matter what happens in the future, your father and brother will give you a top!" ”

"Qi'er knows, Qi'er is not afraid ......" Shi Qingqi hugged the eldest lady.

Shi Yuan also walked over and stroked her head gently, "Okay, Ake, let's go out first, tonight, let your mother sleep with you." ”

Shi Ke nodded, "Er, when do you have to tell your brother!" ”

The two big men faced Shi Qingqian, who was really more inkblot than a woman, and took turns to tell Shi Qingqian, and saw Shi Qingqian repeatedly reassuring, so he was willing to leave uneasily.

Finally, only Shi Qingqian and the eldest lady's mother and daughter were left in the room, she was afraid that the eldest lady would not rest well, so she used her own strength to pull her over, "Mother, mother, mother, lie down next to me......"

"Okay, good," the eldest lady quickly dried her hands helplessly, and then got into Shi Qingqian's quilt.

Shi Qingqian was sleeping with his mother sleeping next to him, and his whole heart was unprecedentedly stable, and maybe only by holding each other, the two of them could sleep peacefully tonight.
