Chapter 13: Sowing Discord

After receiving the instructions of Old Man Zhan, after serving him for breakfast, Steward Yang began to act. Before going to put Qiusha out, he went to the dining room to have breakfast with the others.

With Ah Zhuo also present, after breakfast, he seemed to casually say to the kitchen mother who was about to clean up the dinner table: "Mother Lin, the master has something to say to Mrs. Qiu, I am going to release the people." You can't delay when it's time for the master to drink the medicine again, you go to Nianciyuan to serve the master to drink the medicine, and then clean it up. ”

The kitchen mother responded, put down the work in her hand and went to serve the old man Zhan to drink the medicine first.

After the kitchen mother left, Steward Yang owed a debt to Ah Zhuo, who was still sitting there, and then left the dining room to release people in Avon Garden.

Qiusha in the house heard the noise outside the house and hurriedly walked out. She cautiously pushed the door open, only to find that the door that had been locked from the outside could be opened. As soon as the door opened, I saw Steward Yang standing outside the door with a chain in his hand.

As soon as she saw Steward Yang, she was greatly wronged, and immediately rushed forward excitedly, the tears came out as soon as she spoke, and she knelt on the ground crying and complained: "Steward Yang, please go and explain to my father-in-law for me, I really didn't do it, I really didn't poison it!" ”

Steward Yang was panicked by her actions, he quickly helped her up, and said, "Madame, don't worry, it was the old man who asked the old slave to come and release him." ”

Qiu Sha, who was still crying miserably, heard this, and immediately half of her tears were put in, raised her face full of tears and looked at Steward Yang suspiciously, and asked, "Yes, is it my father-in-law who wants you to release me?" ”

"Yes." Steward Yang nodded affirmatively, with a smile on his face and a respectful attitude, "Yesterday, the master was angry with his head to make such a decision in anger, and now that he is angry, I am afraid that there are a lot of doubts about the poisoning, so I asked the old slave to come and release the lady, and let the lady go to tell the master clearly, so that the lady can return your innocence." ”

Qiu Sha was stunned, and the other half's tears were withdrawn. Old man Zhan has never treated her, she thought that the old man would definitely use the topic to rectify her this time, but now he will give her a chance to make it clear? Will she be innocent? This is not quite like Old Man Zhan's usual style.

Seeing that Qiu Sha didn't answer, Steward Yang kindly reminded: "Madam, since the master is willing to give you a chance to explain, it's better for you to go and explain it to the master quickly, otherwise, it's not good for people to misunderstand that you really have a ghost in your heart and don't dare to go." ”

As if she was awakened by a word, Qiu Sha quickly wiped away the tears on her face, showed a grateful smile to Steward Yang, and said, "I'll go to my father-in-law to make it clear." ”

After that, she ran straight to Nianciyuan like a wind under her feet.

A smile of unknown meaning flashed on Steward Yang's face, and he turned around and walked in the same direction. When he arrived at Nianciyuan, Qiusha was already in the house trying to explain his innocence to Old Man Zhan, but Old Man Zhan was half-lying on the bed without saying a word, closing his eyes as if he was asleep.

Seeing Steward Yang walk in, Qiu Sha temporarily stopped explaining.

"Why is the room so stuffy? It's not good for the old man's health. Butler Yang frowned, muttered to himself in a volume just loud enough for the people in the room to hear, and then went to push the window in the inner room near the bed halfway open. The moment he pushed open the window, a figure outside the window quickly flashed behind a tree, and the thick tree completely obscured the figure.

After Steward Yang opened the window, he looked up at the clear sky, then turned around and walked to the bed, pulled the quilt for Old Man Zhan, and said, "Master, the weather outside is very good today, do you want to sit outside for a while?" ”

Old Man Zhan slowly opened his eyes. He didn't answer Steward Yang's words, but instead looked at Qiu Sha's body, smiled kindly, and motioned for her kneeling in front of the bed to sit on the chair next to her.

Qiu Sha was stunned again, but after a while, she came back to her senses and said with sincere fear: "Father-in-law, Qiu, Qiu Sha just kneel." ”

Old Man Zhan got up, personally helped her to sit on the chair, and said with a kind smile: "Yesterday's incident made you wronged." For so many years, you have done everything for Qi'er, for the General's Mansion, and you have given so much wholeheartedly, how your heart is towards Qi'er, the old man can see it, and the old man is very grateful for everything you have done. ”

Qiu Sha didn't understand why Old Man Zhan would be so kind to her today and would say such nice and considerate words to her, but she felt that Old Man Zhan should have another purpose in saying this, and he would definitely not be considerate of her. She glanced at Old Man Zhan cautiously, lowered her head and lowered her eyes, and whispered: "Qiusha treats the general well, thinking about the general is just doing her duty as a concubine, father-in-law, you are serious." ”

Old Man Zhan put away his smile, put on a solemn look, stretched out his hand and patted Qiu Sha's shoulder vigorously, as if to make a promise: "You can be patient a little longer!" As long as this turmoil subsides, when Qi'er returns, the old man will definitely treat you well, not let you be wronged again, and not let you do something that you are not willing to do. ”

Qiu Sha thought that either she heard it wrong, or that Old Man Zhan was joking with her. She couldn't help but raise her head to look at Old Man Zhan, but saw that he was serious, not as if he was joking.

"Father-in-law, I ......"

She hurriedly opened her mouth to say something, but Old Man Zhan interrupted her with a wave of his hand, lay down tiredly, closed his eyes, and said, "There is nothing else to do, you go back and rest." ”

Seeing the tired face of Old Man Zhan, Qiu Sha didn't want to say anything, so she had to stand up and say, "Then Qiu Sha won't disturb her father-in-law." ”

Qiusha walked out of Nianci Garden, and the figure behind the tree in the garden also quietly left. Qiusha walked all the way back to Avon, carefully looked at her surroundings, and made sure that there was no one else before asking, "Why are you following me?" ”

Ah Zhuo flashed out from behind, walked up to her, looked at her with a smile, and said softly, "Mrs. Qiu, what are these words?" I'm here to spy on you, what's so strange about following you? ”

Qiu Sha looked at her coldly, and said without a slight expression on her face: "I still need you to monitor?" ”

"It's hard to say." Ah Zhuo walked around her lightly, "I'm afraid that Mrs. Qiu will forget her identity, and I'm even more afraid that Mrs. Qiu will forget her mission." ”

Qiu Sha looked directly at Ah Zhuo's face with dissatisfaction and said, "I have my own measure, and I don't need you to talk nonsense. ”

Ah Zhuo's gaze became gloomy and said, "It's really good to be like this." Don't say I didn't remind you of what happened to the betrayal of the organization, you know. Don't let me catch you wrong, or I will punish you severely, and I will never show mercy. ”

Qiusha laughed disdainfully and said, "Even if I am wrong, what qualifications do you have to deal with me?" You are the person next to the Queen Mother, but I was also sent by the King himself. If you want to touch me as you like, you have to ask the king for instructions before you come and tell me!" ”

"I'm just kind enough to give you a heads-up." Ah Zhuo's face sank, and then a smile appeared, "As long as Mrs. Qiu doesn't forget her responsibility." ”

Qiu Sha replied to her without a good face: "I will definitely complete the task and live up to the trust of the organization." As for the conditions that the Third Prince and Shangguan Hong promised me, please remind them, don't forget. ”

Ah Zhuo smiled happily and said, "It's not just that woman's life, no problem." ”

"That's fine."

After Qiusha finished speaking, she turned around and went to the house. Ah Zhuo said behind him: "You want that woman's life so much, it makes me feel that what Master Zhan just said is true." You shouldn't really be emotionally attracted to that General Qi Yang and want to remove all obstacles and become the general's wife, right? ”

Qiusha turned around, looked at her without emotion, and said, "If I can become the general's wife, I can obtain more useful information, which will only be more beneficial to the organization." Is there a problem with this? ”

Ah Zhuo smiled meaningfully and said, "I hope you really think about the organization, and not have other intentions." ”

"If you don't believe me, don't ask me to cooperate with you." Qiu Sha coldly dropped this sentence, ignored Ah Zhuo, walked back to the house and closed the door quickly.
