Old Madam Xie sat aside and heard the words of the two clearly.

Although she didn't know the specific story before, she could hear that Su Ruan should have known that something would happen to the Bo family.

and also once reported to Xie Qingheng, but Xie Qingheng had an accident, so he still fell behind.

And Gu Mincai ......

Old Madam Xie frowned, she was acting for Xie? Where is Zhichun Mei knocking on the money? The gun is shaken

Old Madam Xie groaned in her heart, looked at Su Ruan and asked, "Ruan Ruan, where did you get the news about the crown prince and the second prince?" ”

Su Ruan didn't hide it: "Does grandmother know that Qi Wenfu once took this account book from me before?" ”

Old Madam Xie nodded: "Yes." ”

Xie Yuan told her about this, and it was precisely because of this account book that Xie Yuan agreed to cooperate with Qi Wenfu's side, and if there was evidence, he was willing to come forward to prove the innocence of Su Xuanmin and those Jingnan soldiers.

When Su Ruan heard this, he said: "After that, I met with Qi Wenfu a few times, and he promised me that he would tell me when there was any progress in the affairs of the household department and Jingnan. ”

"The evidence and witnesses of the Criminal Department and the Imperial Historical Observatory were all collected by the Qiwen Mansion through the account book left by my father, and after entering Beijing, they were directly handed over to King Rui, and King Rui then came out and handed them over to the Imperial Historical Observatory and the Criminal Department."

Su Ruan did not hide it from Mrs. Xie, and told Mrs. Xie what Qi Wenfu had said to her when she met Yuwen Liangchen and Qi Wenfu when she went out to see the shop before.

After finishing speaking, Su Ruan continued:

"Qi Wenfu knew that the eldest brother was following the prince, so he deliberately mentioned my Gu Mincai's matter, I was afraid that something would happen to the eldest brother, so I reported a letter to the eldest brother, but who knew that Shen Xiang would poke the matter out."

As a result, this matter still fell on the crown prince in the end, although it was an accident, but the second prince and the Bo family would never feel that it was an accident.

After listening to Su Ruan's words, Old Madam Xie couldn't help but shake her head after figuring out the cause and effect of this matter.

When it comes to this, I really don't know who to blame.

Qi Wenfu said that it was a favor, Su Ruan also mentioned it in advance, and the prince and Xie Qingheng were also trying their best to avoid it, but who would have thought that such a coincidence, Shen Fengnian would intervene.

But if you want to blame Shen Fengnian, you can't, after all, Shen Fengnian has been loving the three children left by his sister for many years, and he will never deliberately harm the prince, so as to involve his own nephew.

Old Madam Xie said: "If things are really like what you said, Qingheng, you must be careful, especially for the prince's affairs, even more careless." ”

Xie Qingheng nodded: "I know my grandmother." ”

After Mrs. Xie told Xie Qingheng a few words, she asked, "How long can you stay in the mansion this time?" ”

Xie Qingheng said: "The emperor is really angry because of Bo Xi's matter, and the prince has to accompany him in front of the saint these days, so he doesn't need me to accompany him." ”

"Guozijian is also on vacation, and I can stay in the house for three or five days this time, and accompany my grandmother."

When Mrs. Xie heard this, she said: "That's good, you have been busy all these days without touching the ground, so you can stay in the mansion and rest for a few days." ”

"I happen to have something to discuss with you."

Xie Qingheng said: "Okay. ”

……

After Su Ruan and Xie Qingheng accompanied Mrs. Xie to talk for a while, the two came out of the Jintang courtyard together, and when they walked outside, the snow was falling, and Su Ruan, who had just come out of the warm house, shivered with a sudden coldness.

Xie Qingheng frowned: "Is it cold?" ”

Su Ruan pulled the cloak tightly, and shrunk his whole little face into the collar again, and then said, "It's not cold." ”

Xie Qingheng looked at her duplicitous, and directly untied his hand cage to Su Ruan, put her gloves inside, and then said:

"It's already much colder in Beijing than in Jingnan, since you're afraid of the cold, let them prepare more things to warm your hands for you."

"Wait a while, let the steward of the house give you a few more stoves in the house, and then take some mink from the storeroom, and make you a few hats and earmuffs, so that you don't freeze."

There was still the temperature on Xie Qingheng's hand in the plush hand cage, and after Su Ruan's hand was stuffed in, his fingers suddenly warmed up.

Su Ruan looked up at Xie Qingheng, who had told her one sentence after another, and two pear vortices appeared on her cheeks: "Big brother." ”

"Huh?"

"You're getting nagging."

Xie Qingheng was stunned, looked up at Su Ruan's smiling face, and couldn't help but reach out angrily and slapped her on the head.

"I think you're getting bolder, and even I dare to make fun of you."

Su Ruan pursed her lips and chuckled, and the two walked out side by side.

Xie Qingheng "creaked" under the snow under his feet, and said to Su Ruan as he walked: "Ruan Ruan, thank you." ”

Su Ruan raised his eyebrows: "Thank you for what?" ”

"Gu Mincai's matter."

Xie Qingheng said: "Although there was an accident in the middle, the prince's side still didn't avoid this incident, but because you reminded me, the prince also looked up at me. ”

"I just went to the prince's side, and it was more difficult than others everywhere, and after this incident, the prince was willing to let me do things for him, so I have to thank you."

Regardless of whether the letter had an effect in the end, at least in the eyes of the prince, he was a capable person, and the prince praised him very much.

During this time, he has not returned to the house, because the prince has begun to let him run errands, although it is only a small matter, but it is also an excellent start.

Su Ruan smiled lightly when he heard this: "Why do you want to say thank you to me, you went to the prince's place to help me, if you 1 even want to say thank you for this little thing, then do I also have to say thank you to my eldest brother?" ”

Xie Qingheng met Su Ruan's clear eyes when he heard this, and raised his lips for a while to show a smile.

Su Ruan held the skirt in his hand and said, "The eldest brother said before that they are all a family, and it is too polite to say thank you." ”

"Besides, since the eldest brother has chosen the prince, whether it is going further ahead or standing still, your future and future have been tied to the prince."

"In that case, it's better to try to be the most relied on person by the prince's side."

Strategists can be thrown, and close ministers can be destroyed.

But if the prince can't do without him, he even has to rely on him.

At least one day, when the prince wants to give up someone because of some things, that person will not be Xie Qingheng, nor will it be the Xie family.

Xie Qingheng understood what Su Ruan meant, and nodded: "I know." ”

He looked back at Su Ruan, who was carrying the hem of his skirt, and said, "I will try my best to make the prince believe in me, rely on me, and make myself an indispensable person by his side." ”

"Don't worry about it here, since the Bo family has already pried open the hole, sooner or later they will be able to find out about Jingnan's affairs."

"Those who owe you and your father will all be paid back sooner or later."

Su Ruan said "En" and raised his lips.

She believed.
