Old Madam Xie was worried about what was happening on Taoyuan Slope, and she knew that Xie Qingheng was injured.

Even if Su Ruan didn't say it too clearly just now, she guessed that she was afraid that something had gone wrong with the "catching turtles in the urn" they had prepared before.

After Old Madam Xie asked Su Ruan to sit down, she said urgently:

"Ruan Ruan, tell me first, what happened on Taoyuan Slope, how could Qing Heng get hurt?"

"Also, today's events are not only known to Qingheng father and son and Lord Lin, how can Qi Wenfu also be involved?"

This time, they did it very secretly, and Yue Rong's father and son had a lot to do with her.

For fear of alarming others, Xie Yuan didn't dare to tell anyone about this matter from beginning to end except Lin Gang.

Then how could Qi Wenfu know about today's events and still be with Xie Qingheng?

When Su Ruan heard this, she remembered that she hadn't told Old Madam Xie about Qi Wen's Mansion yet.

Su Ruan hurriedly said: "What is going on in the back mountain, I don't know, I was with the second sister at that time, and when I saw the eldest brother, he was already injured, but Hou Ye and Lord Lin did not show up." ”

"The son of the Ji Yu Shi family, the son of the Pei Shangshu family, and the lord of Chengyang are all here, so I don't want to ask too much."

Old Madam Xie frowned, and she also knew that Su Ruan could not be allowed to open her mouth in that situation, otherwise letting others know about the Xie family's establishment today would probably cause trouble.

Old Madam Xie suppressed the worry in her heart and said in a deep voice: "That Qiwen Mansion ......"

"Qiwen Mansion was invited by Lord Hou and Lord Lin to do it together."

Su Ruan said: "In the first month of the new year, didn't Lord Qi bring that child named Song Yi to visit, and he saw Yue Rong's father and son at that time. ”

"Lord Qi has already handled Jingnan's case, so he naturally knows that Yue Rong's father and son are related to the matter of Zhangning Tunbing."

"At that time, when he asked, he realized that we were setting up a bureau for Yue Rong and them, so he found Master Hou, and later those secrets about Zhang Ning, as well as the news that made Yue Rong's father and son restless, were mostly released by Lord Qi."

Seeing that Old Madam Xie was worried, Su Ruan reassured:

"Grandmother, don't worry, Lord Qi and Hou Ye have already discussed, and Hou Ye knows about this matter."

When Mrs. Xie heard this, she knew that Qi Wenfu had been mixed in early morning, and Xie Yuan also knew it, so she was relieved.

"That's fine, as long as it doesn't make a fuss."

Old Madam Xie sat next to Su Ruan, and after asking about the things outside the city, the anxiety on her face eased a little, although she was worried about Xie Qingheng, she also knew that he had entered the palace, so she couldn't be anxious about this matter.

She sat quietly for a long time before she asked in a low voice, "Did you catch that person?" ”

There was no beginning or end to this question, but Su Ruan understood what Old Madam Xie meant.

She shook her head: "Qi Wenfu and the eldest brother did catch a person, but the situation was a little chaotic at that time, and the person seemed to be seriously injured and unconscious, and I didn't see who it was, I'm afraid I won't know until the Hou Ye or the eldest brother comes back." ”

Old Madam Xie clenched her palm when she heard this.

Regardless of whether the person who caught it was the person behind the scenes they were looking for before, since they could catch it, it meant that Yue Rong and Yue Qian were really as they had guessed before, and they had a different purpose in going to Beijing this time.

They didn't come to visit her, an old friend, at all, and Zhang Ning's affairs were inseparable from them.

The old friendship she has always thought of is just being used as a pawn and a bridge that can be used, and I don't know how much news she has gained over the years and how many people have been harmed.

Old Madam Xie's face was slightly pale, and when she pursed her lips, her body tensed extremely tightly.

Su Ruan was the closest to her, and looking at the changes in Old Madam Xie, she only had to think about it in her heart to guess Old Madam Xie's thoughts.

Su Ruan got up and walked to Old Madam Xie and squatted down, leaned on her knee, held her hand and said, "Grandmother, Yue Rong's matter has nothing to do with you. ”

"You value love and righteousness, but they are unkind, and now it is better to be able to see their personality clearly than to continue to be coaxed by them and bury the entire Xie family in their hands."

Old Madam Xie's eyes were slightly red, and she felt a little uncomfortable in her throat when she spoke: "I just don't understand why." ”

She whispered:

"When I was in the water village, Yue Rong had the highest temperament, and after I picked him up, he read books, worshipped the Master, learned the etiquette of benevolence and filial piety, and hated those who were ruthless and vicious in their lives."

"If he wasn't a good citizen, I'm afraid he would have gone to the imperial examination early, and when one of his parents was an official to protect the people in the jurisdiction, he also said that he would build a good hall, repair a study house, and be a master of the blue sky...... But how did he become like this now? ”

It has become the most disgusting and hated appearance he once had.

Su Ruan was speechless for a moment when she listened to Old Madam Xie's words.

Where did this world come from, so many whys.

Wealth, fame, power, beauty, and all kinds of temptations, how many people can retain their pure hearts?

Old Madam Xie red-eyed, "And he has always been in Zhangning, rarely leaves, and has such an identity, how did he get in touch with those wolf ambitions?" ”

Su Ruan's heart moved slightly, and she didn't know why, a thought suddenly flashed in her mind, but when that thought appeared, she was a little frightened, and naturally she didn't dare to speak rashly.

Su Ruan suppressed the thoughts in her heart, she knew that Old Madam Xie didn't understand the reason, and she didn't think about asking for an answer when she opened her mouth to ask, but she was just shocked and incredulous.

Su Ruan gently rested her head on Old Madam Xie's lap, holding her hand and silently accompanying her.

After a long time, Mrs. Xie's mood calmed down a little.

Su Ruan got up and poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to Mrs. Xie, then took out a few pine nut candies from the bag hanging from her waist, handed them to Mrs. Xie and said, "Grandmother, don't be unhappy, I invite you to eat candy." ”

"Yan Kee's pine nut candy tastes the best."

Old Madam Xie looked at Su Ruan, who wanted to make her happy, suppressed the gloom and sadness in her heart, took the sugar and said, "Let Mother Liu know, I have to trouble you again." ”

Su Ruan Qiao said angrily: "That grandmother is quiet, don't let Mother Liu see it." ”

Old Madam Xie reluctantly smiled.

Afraid that Old Madam Xie would be worried about Yue Rong's affairs, Su Ruan thought about changing the topic, she remembered that Yu Wenchan talked about the first emperor and the queen of Yuan in the carriage when she went out of the city before, and couldn't help asking: "Grandmother, do you know what happened when the first emperor was in the court?" ”

Old Madam Xie was surprised: "What is it?" ”

Su Ruan said: "He and Empress Yuan, when I went out of the city today, when the county lord of Chengyang talked about the origin of Taoyuanpo, they mentioned the deep affection of the first emperor and the queen of Yuan. ”

Su Ruan said the legend of Taoyuanpo that he heard outside, as well as Yu Wenchan's later words.

After hearing this, Mrs. Xie sneered directly: "What kind of affection, it's just that the royal family pulled a skin to cover up their ugliness." ”
