Lang Zhai said on the side: "The weather has been cold recently, I have warmed some sweet wine and prepared some nutritious dishes, and my cousin and brother-in-law may wish to drink some to warm up." ”

Su Ningxiang smiled sweetly at the corner of her mouth: "Da Lang knew that Sister Ah was pregnant and couldn't drink spirits, so he prepared some fruit wine for Sister Ah to taste." ”

Su Ning'er listened to Lang Zhai calling her cousin, she was very unaccustomed to listening, and she wriggled the corners of her mouth and said with a stiff smile: "Brother Lao Lang bothered." ”

Then Lang Zhai ordered the servants to bring up the prepared dishes and sweet wine, and Suning'er ate some, although the fruit wine was carefully prepared by Lang Zhai, she didn't dare to drink more.

However, Zhao Yuanbai and Su Que like to drink this, so Lang Zhai accompanied the two of them to drink a few more glasses.

After the meal, Su Ning'er thought that the recurrence of Zhou's old illness was because she went to the porcelain kiln, so she called Su Ningxiang to Tanghua Courtyard for some reason, and talked to her about Zhou's illness in the name of narration.

Suning'er asked her, "Why is Auntie's illness suddenly serious again, has Ah Mei listened carefully to the doctor?" ”

Su Ningxiang sat with her by the incense burner, while picking up the charcoal with her hands, and slowly replied: "A-Niang's illness is also a little strange, a while ago we saw her red-faced, I think this winter will not be again, who knows that I went to the porcelain kiln and came back and couldn't afford to be sick, the doctor said that she was a little frightened, but Aya and I carefully interrogated her, A-Niang only said that she had a nightmare." ”

Suning'er nodded hesitantly.

Su Ningxiang looked at her quietly, as if she was thinking about something.

After a while, she asked again: "Sister, do you remember when you were in Yangzhou, Ayena went to the two-room concubine room in the courtyard?" ”

Suning'er can only remember those old things through the memory of her predecessor, and she really can't remember the specific situation of the two aunts.

During the days of staying in Su Mansion, I heard people mention that it was said that their death or disappearance had something to do with the Zhou family.

Su Ningxiang sighed: "Recently, I don't know who is chewing the root of the tongue, saying that the deaths of those two aunts are all caused by my aunt." ”

In fact, as early as when Yun Niang entered Beijing, Suning'er heard this rumor from Qin'er's mouth, and at that time, Qin'er also said that the Qi family also knew the inside story.

She had never asked the Qi family to verify this matter, so she didn't dare to comment on it, just smiled and patted her on the shoulder, and said warmly: "Sister, don't think nonsense, Auntie's illness was only caused by excessive anxiety when you disappeared, and now it has become an old disease, sometimes good and sometimes bad, this is no way, only to recuperate slowly." ”

"No, Sister", Su Ningxiang gritted her teeth and shook her head fiercely: "I didn't believe it at first, but then I asked Aya, although he kept his mouth shut, but I saw that his expression was strange, and I had guessed that this thing was true, at that time, Aunt Sun fell into the well and died, and Aunt Zhao was pregnant and suddenly disappeared, I felt very strange, last year Aya had a lot of trouble with Aunt Yun because of Aunt Yun's affairs, and he refused to take Aunt Yun into the door, presumably because of these concerns. ”

After hesitating for a moment, her face became gloomy, and she said with sincere fear: "Sister, it can't really be those two aunts who want to ask for my aunt's life, right?" ”

Suning'er couldn't answer her well, and she didn't know how to persuade her again, but as a person who came from the new century, she would never believe this kind of rumors like ghosts.

She faintly sensed that the Zhou family had encountered something unsightly on the side of the porcelain kiln, and this matter should have something to do with Wen Jiqing.

Otherwise, how could Wen Jiqing personally invite the doctors in the palace to see her in person.

However, she couldn't tell Su Ningxiang what she doubted in her heart, so she could only persuade patiently: "Sister, don't be suspicious anymore, now, you take good care of the Su family with Da Lang, and add a grandson to your aunt as soon as possible, maybe her illness will get better." ”

Speaking of this, Su Ningxiang's face sank again.

Su Ning'er looked at something wrong: "What's wrong, sister, didn't you encounter something difficult again?" ”

Su Ningxiang suddenly fell into her arms and choked in a low voice.

Suning'er listened to her intermittent sobbing, thinking about her arrogant appearance in the past, and couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Su Ningxiang choked up and said: "Sister, I have been married to him until now, except for that drunkenness, he has never been willing to touch me again, in fact, I also hope that I can extend the heirs of the Su family earlier, so that A-Niang can be happier." ”

Su Ning'er patted her lightly on the shoulder, and said kindly: "Since Brother Lang married you, he will definitely not let you down, don't worry too much, give him more time." ”

"I know, I know, I have never forced him to do anything, in fact, as long as he is willing to sincerely think about our Su family, I don't have any other luxury."

Su Ningxiang was full of grievances in her heart, and now she could only confide in her cousin.

She never felt that the last person she could rely on would be her sister, whom she once hated.

Suning'er gently lifted her up from her arms, the two looked at each other quietly, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "He is your husband and the nephew of the thirteenth uncle, so he naturally wants to think about our Su family." ”

After being patiently persuaded by her, Su Ningxiang stopped crying and nodded obediently.

Suning'er coaxed her to be happier, and continued to interrogate about the affairs of the house: "Sister, do you think there is anything unusual about the second uncle recently?" ”

"Ayer?" , Su Ningxiang shook her head blankly: "No, our family's business is getting bigger and bigger now, although the thirteenth uncle came back to help, Aya is still busy all day, this year's silk to help the court Yima has been finished, and next year, the silk and porcelain of our family going to sea will occupy the first place, and we will be busy again." ”

"Yes", Suning'er smiled casually: "Brother Lang can also help take care of the business of some shops." ”

Looking at Su Ningxiang's appearance, I am afraid that I will not find any news from her interrogation again.

However, just now she said that Zhou was frightened and fell ill again, which means that her illness is inseparable from the porcelain kiln.

After thinking about it, she asked Su Ningxiang again: "Sister, do you remember when your aunt went to the porcelain kiln?" ”

Su Ningxiang tightened her brows, racked her brains and thought about it, but she didn't remember the specific date, and replied uncertainly: "It seems to be more than a month ago, it's been a long time, I don't remember very clearly, not long after A-Niang went to the porcelain kiln, an envoy from the imperial court went over there, saying that he was arresting a murderer, and he didn't find the shadow of the murderer after searching around the porcelain kiln." ”

Su Ning'er carefully calculated again, this date probably coincided with the day when Wanniang went to Zhao's house, plus the people from the government went to the porcelain kiln to search.

Combined, she could already conclude that Wen Jiqing was doing some shady things when she was helping the Su family transport porcelain.
