Not only the queen, but also the Xie family!

Although the Xie family, under the leadership of Cheng Engong, is getting more and more deviated on the road of seizing the heir, there are also some people in the Xie family who are innocent and have never been involved in these things.

Wuyang's eyes were slightly in a trance, and his complicated gaze seemed to penetrate the distant time and space.

She still remembers that when she was a child, she often went out of the palace to ask her grandparents for peace when she was a substitute mother, and her grandmother always held her in her arms affectionately, held her little hand with warm hands, talked to her, fed her, and gave her a tie with her own hands......

When she was young, she often played with several cousins of the Xie family, riding horses, throwing pots, and archery......

The Xie family is her uncle's house, and for her, it is probably the place where she has come the most since she was a child, except for the palace.

Thinking of the past, there were some ripples in Wuyang's dark pupils, and there was nostalgia, sighing, and sadness in his eyes...... Finally, it turned into firmness.

If the Xie family continues to come nonsense, she will inevitably fall into the fate of being convicted and harming the nine clans, so she has to be able to pull a handful when the situation is still out of control, at least let those innocent Xie family members not be implicated and sent to death in vain.

After all, she has the blood of the Xie family in her body, if she doesn't do this, who else can do it!

Wuyang withdrew his gaze from the window and ordered, "Qingfeng, you go and call the chief of the king's guard." ”

Qing Feng took the order and retreated, and after a while, he brought in the chief of the Wang guard.

"Princess." The captain of the Wang guard saluted with his fist at Wuyang, his body was stained with some snowflakes, and the room was lit with a silver frost charcoal basin, warm as spring, and those little snowflakes quickly turned into water.

"How is the Cheng'en Mansion now?" Wuyang asked straight to the point.

"Back to the princess," the chief of the royal guard respectfully maintained a posture of clenching his fists, his eyes lowered, and he did not dare to look directly at Wuyang, "They are pawning the family property everywhere with great fanfare, and they also say that they have hollowed out the house in order to make up the dowry for the third princess." ”

The corners of Wuyang's mouth hooked a mocking arc, and he said lightly: "Be smart." With a wave of her hand, she sent the king away.

Qingfeng sighed secretly in his heart, and looked at Wuyang hesitantly.

For the queen, the eldest princess is her lifeline, that is to hold it in her hand for fear of falling, in her mouth for fear of melting, they are the slaves and maids who serve the eldest princess are all in their eyes, who would have thought that one day the queen and the eldest princess mother and daughter would be in trouble to this point!

"Your Highness, do you want to go and see the Queen Mother?" Qingfeng hesitated for a while, but finally said, "You can find the four girls to enter the palace together......

"No need." Wuyang interrupted Qingfeng without hesitation, his dark eyes gloomy and gloomy.

She sat motionless, letting the snowflakes from the window fall on her hair and shoulders, and a few snowflakes on her long eyelashes as if they were a few crystal tears.

She knows that now is not enough, this level, the queen mother will not figure it out, even if she enters the palace to see her now, I am afraid that the mother and daughter will not be able to say a few words, and it will only end with another quarrel.

I have to make the queen mother completely desperate for the Xie family!

Wuyang's eyes were deeper, mixed with emotions such as unbearable, painful, helpless, etc., rolling in her pupils, she closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her eyes were clear, and there was only perseverance left in her eyes.

The snow outside the house was heavier, the wind was stronger, and the flowers and trees in the courtyard were blown by the cold wind, making the house surprisingly quiet.

In the next few days, the Cheng'en Mansion pawned everywhere, the momentum was impressive, and the whole capital saw it, and for a while, it became a topic of conversation among the people in the capital after tea and dinner, and also made the two girls who had just married the Xie family become the focus of many people's attention.

Some people sympathize with the Xie family is not easy, marrying a girl will fold most of their own property into it, and the royal daughter-in-law is not easy to do; Some people think that the Xie family is dying to save face and suffer crimes, and they obviously have no money, so they still make up two hundred and fifty or sixty dowries; Some people say that the two sisters of the Xie family got married a few days apart, one is a high-ranking princess, and the other is divorced within three days of marriage, it is really a heaven and an earth......

Some discussions outside also reached the ears of Duanmu Fei and Han Xing, Duanmu Fei only listened to the excitement, and Han Xing sent people out every day to inquire about the news with great interest.

For this reason, Han Xing stayed in Duanmu's house for three days and refused to return to the palace, and early this morning, Duanmu Guifei sent someone to urge, and Han Xing had to pack up his things and leave.

Duanmu Fei personally sent Han Xing to the instrument gate, and Han Xing walked all the way, talking non-stop all the way:

"Scarlet cousin, the eldest sister really doesn't make a move, and when she makes a move, it's like a thunderbolt!"

"This palace really wants to see with my own eyes what kind of face Cheng Engong is now...... Haha, it must be as black as the bottom of the pot. ”

"The Xie family is really capable of acting, why don't you start a family drama team and play in person!"

While laughing, the two cousins walked to Han Xing's Zhu Wheeled Car, Han Xing reluctantly stopped, wrapped his arm around Duanmu Fei and refused to let go, and said coquettishly: "Anyway, the third emperor brother is also married, can this palace also get married!" ”

After she gets married, she will be able to go out of the palace to live, and she doesn't have to go to the study every day to attend classes, and she can go wherever she wants, and she doesn't have to be bound by the rules in the palace, it's beautiful to think about!

Seeing that Han Xing looked like a bird in a cage and couldn't wait to spread its wings and soar in the next moment, Duanmu couldn't help but smile.

Linglong smiled at Duanmu Fei indescribably, with a kind of powerlessness of "his own master is really laughable".

She understood Han Xing's temperament, her eyes rolled, and she hurriedly coaxed her master: "Your Highness, now that such a big thing has happened in the Chengen Mansion, I'm afraid the third princess won't be able to sit still." ”

The implication of her words is that there must be a lively scene in the palace now.

Han Xingdeng, who was still wilting, was in good spirits, and his eyes lit up like jewels, giving Linglong an appreciative look.

This girl has become smart! She almost forgot about it, now Xie Xiangling's face must be very exciting, she can't see Cheng Engong, but she can see Xie Xiangling in the harem!

Han Xing didn't rub anymore, and waved goodbye to Duanmu Fei: "Cousin Scarlet, this palace has to go back to see ...... Mother. She stubbornly replaced the word "lively" with "mother concubine", and got on the vermilion wheel with a smile.

The Zhulun car soon drove out of Duanmu Mansion through the corner gate on one side, and the sound of the car gradually faded away.

After the corner door was closed, Duanmu Fei slowly walked back with the stove in his hand.

There is a cold and snowy land around, although the snow has stopped, but the snow has not dissipated, and everywhere you can see is a world of ice and snow covered in snow.

Duanmu gathered her cloak and buried her face in the fluffy cape, making her face smaller.

Duanmu Fei looked up at the sky, after this snow, the weather should gradually get warmer, early spring is a good day to put paper kites, it just so happens that the paper kites that she and her sister made for Cen Gongzi are almost ready.

In a few days, she called her sister to go with her to give it to Cen Gongzi, and then they could go to put paper kites together.

Well, she's such a sweet sister.

Duanmu bent his lips, smiled sweetly and cutely, and walked briskly.

Suddenly, there was an exclamation from behind her: "Girl! ”

Duanmu Fei subconsciously stopped, turned her head to look at Bi Chan, and she didn't need to ask, she knew what was going on.

A wisp of green smoke rose from the northeast of the house, and the smoke became thicker and thicker, curling into the air, staining the blue sky a little gray.

Duanmu frowned and ordered, "Bi Chan, you go ......"

Duanmu Fei wanted to tell Bi Chan to go over there to see what was going on, but before he finished speaking, he heard a burst of laughter and noise from the direction of Zhenqu Hall, accompanied by the sound of chaotic footsteps.

Seven or eight women who described luxury and jewels walked out of the hall one after another.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, sister-in-law, sister-in-law, I'll send you away." The third lady Tang said as she crossed the threshold with a warm smile on her face.

There were several familiar faces among the ladies beside her, such as the two ladies of the He family and Mrs. Tang, and several people talked and laughed.

"Cousin, don't be polite, you can go and get busy if you have anything."

"Yes, it's all my own family, so I don't need to pay attention to these false courtesies."

“……”

As they spoke, they walked down the stone steps in front of the True Fun Hall, looking like they were all happy.

At this time, a short and fat old woman suddenly pointed to the direction where the green smoke was rising, and shouted excitedly: "Third lady, go to the water!" ”

Flow?!

The faces of the other people around him have changed, and if the fire gets out of control, it is possible to burn down a mansion, and maybe even affect the neighbors.

Tang Shi looked in the direction pointed by the old woman, but it was only a few words, and the green smoke spread twice, and the billowing smoke drifted towards the sky......

Tang's face turned pale, and when he landed, he exclaimed, "Isn't that the Yongxi Hall where my mother lives?!" ”

Mrs. He also looked at the direction of Qingyan, anxious, and her voice subconsciously raised: "What, the second aunt's house is out of water!" ”

"Hurry up and get someone to put out the fire!" Tang screamed in a frustrated voice, "It's dry, what if the fire is big!" ”

It's dry?! Duanmu Fei, who was not far away, silently looked around at the snow, the corners of his mouth twitched, and asked suspiciously: "Third aunt, it's just some smoke, how do you know it's water?" ”

"......" Tang and Mrs. He's faces froze.

At the same time, more people in the house also saw the green smoke over there, and more and more maids and women ran from all over the house, looking frightened and nervous, and said:

"What's going on?"

"I think I heard someone say it's gone!"

"How did you go out of the water?"

"Let's go check it out."

“……”

The people around him ran around uneasily, and they became a pot of porridge.

In contrast, Duanmu Fei was still so calm, as if she was deaf, she looked at Tang fixedly, and there seemed to be a smile in her bright eyes.

Tang cleared his throat and said, "Sister Scarlet, I think such a big cigarette is probably out of water." The water can be big or small, so let's hurry over and have a look, just in case. ”

Mrs. He, Mrs. Tang and others eagerly echoed Tang's words:

"Brother and sister are right."

"I look like I'm walking on water, otherwise why would there be such a big smoke, it wouldn't be burning something, right?"

"Let's go over and take a look, not afraid of 10,000, just in case, if there is really an accident, it will not be good."

The more people talked, the more excited they became, the more worried they became, and they looked anxious.

Tang hurriedly instructed a green-clothed maid, "You hurry up and go to Yongxi Hall to have a look!" ”

"Yes, Third Lady." After the girl in Tsing Yi blessed Fu, she hurriedly trotted away.

The others were still looking worriedly in the direction where the green smoke was rising, frowning, especially Mrs. He and Mrs. He.

Second Mrs. He rubbed her handkerchief and said to Mrs. He uneasily: "Sister-in-law, I always have some things in my heart, why don't we go to Yongxi Hall to see the second aunt." ”

Mrs. He nodded and said to the Tang family, "Cousin, you should take us over to have a look." ”

"Okay."

Tang couldn't wait to take the lead and walked out, and the others followed, and a group of people walked in the direction of Yongxi Hall in a hurry.

Only Duanmufei was left standing alone.

Duanmu Fei neither stopped nor followed, glanced at their departing backs with cold eyes, and then slowly gathered his cloak before taking a step.

It's just that her direction is not Yongxi Hall, but Zhanqing Academy.

Tang Shi in the other direction walked and walked, couldn't help but stop, looked back in the direction of Duanmufei, and said with some hesitation: "Does she know anything......

Not only did Tang think so, but Mrs. He and others also had the same suspicion in their hearts.

Mrs. He also looked at Duanmu Fei and squinted, "If she knows, why doesn't she stop us?" ”

Mrs. Fang Cai He was also worried that Duanmu Fei would call someone to stop them, after all, in this Duanmu Mansion, except for Duanmu Xian, the person who could not be offended the most was Duanmu Fei.

"Sister-in-law is right. Let's hurry over. Without further ado. Second Lady He said hurriedly.

Several people looked at each other, exchanged a meaningful look, and quickened their pace towards the Yongxi Hall.

The green smoke did come from Yongxi Hall, and it was indeed water.

Although the He family was placed under house arrest by Duanmu Xian, he had a lot of applications, and when the Tang family arrived, the people in the courtyard were already fighting the fire.

The scorching bright flames licked the houses frantically, and the billowing smoke rose as the flames rose, and the yard was filled with smoke, and even the air became scorching with the fire.

All around was the sound of messy footsteps, shouts and splashing water, and mothers-in-law and maids carrying buckets came and went.

"Wow! Wow! Wow! ”

Buckets of water and snow were poured into the burning house......

As soon as Tang arrived, he eagerly asked a housekeeper at the entrance of the courtyard, "Mama Wang, where is Mrs. Tai?" ”

Mama Wang blessed the Tang family, pointed to the direction of the house with a worried expression and replied, "Third lady, Mrs. Tai is still inside." ”

Before she could finish speaking, there were other subordinates saluting one after another from behind: "Young lady, big girl." ”

When Tang and the others looked back, they saw Duanmujun and Ji Lanzhou walking side by side towards this side, followed by four or five maids.

Duanmu Jun looked solemnly at the wisps of smoke in front of him.

Mrs. He's expression turned cold, and she pointed at Ji Lanzhou and Duanmu Jun with the shelf of the elders and accused: "Ah Heng's daughter-in-law, cousin niece, how do you take care of your grandmother!" ”

"That's it!" Second Mrs. He raised her chin and said, "Even if your grandmother is bedridden all year round, you can't snub her like this!" If your grandmother had a case, would you be able to afford it? ”

Mrs. He didn't dare to say anything serious to Duanmufei, for fear of offending her by disagreeing, but they didn't have so many scruples about Duanmujun and Ji Lanzhou, so they reprimanded them arrogantly.

Ji Lanzhou always smiled softly and softly, completely ignoring his ears. If she had put everything in her heart, it was estimated that she would have been sick in the years in the Xuanwu Marquis Mansion.

Duanmu Jun looked at Mrs. He and Mrs. He Er, and asked rhetorically, "Are the two cousins pointing out that our Duanmu family didn't take good care of our grandmother?" ”

Second Lady He sneered, raised her voice and said, "Isn't it? The fire is about to reach your grandmother's house! ”

Duanmu Jun sighed, and said with a smile: "Since the two cousins are so dissatisfied with the Duanmu family, why don't you two set an 'example' for me?" ”

What she meant by this was to let them take the He family away?! Mrs. He and Mrs. He glanced at each other in shock, and Mrs. He couldn't help but scold: "Cousin niece, what are you talking about!" You dare to say such a thing as expelling your grandmother from the house! ”

"You are unfilial!" Second Mrs. He said that this sentence was already a curse.

However, Duanmu Jun didn't even raise his eyebrows, and said lightly: "Didn't the imperial envoy say that it was the He family who killed my own grandmother?!" The hatred of killing ancestors is not shared, do the two cousins think it?! ”

Duanmu Jun looked at the Tang clan and them calmly, his eyes were bright, clear and sharp, and his gaze seemed to have seen through the fog.

As we all know, the imperial envoy Wang impeached Duanmu Xian for plotting to kill his wife, Duanmu Jun was obviously deliberately far-fetched, she did not call He's grandmother but called He's directly, which was already too lazy to maintain face.

Tang Shi chuckled in his heart, looked at Duanmu Jun in a daze, and the same doubt surfaced in his heart again: Did she know something?

Tang couldn't help but look at the two cousins of the He family, Mrs. He and Mrs. He didn't expect Duanmu Jun to be so strong, and they were a little confused for a while.

Duanmujun didn't say much to them, looked at Mama Wang, and asked, "Mama Wang, what's going on?" How is the fire now? ”

Mama Wang replied with trepidation: "Big girl, the fire started from the ear room and spread to the three nearby rooms, but fortunately, the fire is not big and has been roughly controlled. ”

As he spoke, there were more and more people around him who came to put out the fire with buckets, and the sound of splashing water came and went, and along the way, the water splashed from those buckets was wet all over the ground.

Tang Shi calmed down, suppressed the doubts in his heart, showed a worried look on his face, stretched his neck and looked into the courtyard, "It would be terrible if the fire burned to the main house, it was important to rescue my mother first!" I don't know how my mother is now......"

As he spoke, Tang had already rushed in with his skirt, worried.

Mrs. He, Mrs. He, and Mrs. Tang also hurriedly followed.

Duanmujun stood quietly in place, ignoring them and letting them go.

Ji Lanzhou didn't move, smiling slightly, the two looked at each other and smiled, exchanging a tacit look.

On the way to Yongxi Hall, the two of them met Bi Chan who was waiting for them halfway, and Bi Chan conveyed Duanmu Fei's meaning, saying that if the Tang family wanted to take the He family out of the way by walking the water, they would follow their wishes.

As smart as Duanmujun, he naturally understands Duanmufei's intentions, and so does Ji Lanzhou.

"I'll let the chief steward take a trip to the Five Cities Terracotta Division later." Ji Lanzhou said with a smile.

Duanmu Jun responded casually, his eyes flashing slightly.

In all the prefectures and places in Beijing, if there is a matter of going to the water, it must be reported to the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division.

Therefore, if the Duanmu family forcibly did not let the He family come out, when they reported it, it would be as if they had confirmed the crimes impeached by the imperial envoy, and there would be some unnecessary trouble, and my grandfather had worked hard enough recently.

Moreover, the He family instigated the Tang family to make such a fuss and jump up and down, that is, they want the He family to come out, so come out.

Tang had already rushed to the front of the house, and was commanding the subordinates around him to put out the fire:

"Quick, go to the other yards and call some people to come and help put out the fire!"

"It's windy today, be careful that the wind blows the fire over."

"Watch out for those plane trees next to the house, don't let them burn."

“……”

The fire in the house had been extinguished for the most part, but the people did not dare to slack off, and they were still carrying more buckets.

Duanmujun looked at the backs of the Tang family, and a smile appeared between his eyebrows.

On the eleventh day of the first lunar month, after Duanmufei returned home, he told Duanmujun about Duanmuxian's impeachment, and Duanmufei guessed that this matter was either made by the Xie family and the Jiang family, or the He family and the Tang family, depending on who would make the next move.

As soon as today's incident came out, not only Duanmufei, but Duanmujun could also be sure that it was the He family and the Tang family.

After dozens of buckets of water were splashed, the fire was a little smaller, and only the ear room on the west side and the room next to it were still burning.

Tang Shi looked into the hall for a while, and rushed in first, shouting, "Mother! A few maids she brought with her also swarmed in.

Duanmujun still didn't stop it, and he didn't care.

She also wants to see what the He family wants to do, lest it fail today, and tomorrow there will be new tricks, one after another, which will be really troublesome!

Anyway, what the He family can toss is only some internal affairs, unlike the Jiang and Xie families, who will be involved in court affairs.

Thinking about it, Duanmujun's eyes brightened.

The courtyard was a mess inside and outside, the row of houses next to the ear room had been burned black, and the maids were still struggling to splash water to put out the fire, and their faces were mostly black, gray and gray with smoke, and they were embarrassed.

Soon, there was a commotion on the other side of the hall.

The people waiting outside the house also craned their necks to look into the house, shouting "Mrs. Tai" and "Third Lady" in their mouths.

Tang slowly helped He out of the room, and Mrs. He carefully held He's other arm.

Since the He family was ordered by Duanmu Xian to be locked up in the Yongxi Hall more than two years ago, Duanmu Jun has never seen her again, and this is the first time she has seen the He family in several years.

He was wearing a rust-colored dark striped jacket, and his hair mixed with silver threads was neatly tied into a round bun, and his body was plumper and fairer than before, but the whole person looked a lot older, and the deep folds on his forehead seemed to be carved on it with a carving knife, exuding a gloomy atmosphere.

"Grandmother." Ji Lanzhou blessed the He family, this was the first time she saw the He family, when she and Duanmu Heng got married the day after they came here to recognize their relatives, they only kowtowed to the He family three times in the courtyard of Yongxi Hall.

"The fire is out!"

At this time, a mother-in-law shouted excitedly, and everyone else breathed a sigh of relief, and put down the bucket and basin in their hands one after another, and their faces were still a little shocked.

Tang looked at Duanmu Jun and Ji Lanzhou, and gave orders: "Sister Jun, daughter-in-law Ah Heng, why don't you go and ask your grandmother for a doctor!" ”

"Also, this Yongxi Hall can't live for the time being, so I have to hurry up and clean up a courtyard and come out."

Duanmujun still looked faint, and said calmly: "Since it was the third aunt who took the grandmother out, then the third aunt has to take care of it." Lan Zhou, let's not be thankless. ”

Duanmujun didn't care about the reaction of the Tang family and the He family, and directly took Ji Lanzhou away.

When the two walked past Mama Wang, Duanmujun ordered: "Mama Wang, you will report to us the loss here and the reason for the water later." ”

"Yes, big girl, big young lady." Mama Wang respectfully agreed.

The two walked away without hesitation, and the surroundings fell into an eerie tranquility, and those maids and women hung their heads one by one, not daring to look at the faces of Tang and the others.

It's so arrogant, these two people are simply disrespectful! Tang's family, Mrs. He and others were so angry that their teeth itched, and their facial features were slightly distorted by suppressed anger.

"This is too unruly, too uneducated!" Second Lady He rebuked sharply in her voice, her face turned slightly blue. Who are these people, how can the younger generations of someone's family treat their elders like this!

"......" He Shi looked at the backs of Duanmujun and Ji Lanzhou drifting apart, his lips were pursed, he was silent, his eyes were so deep that they seemed to be a bottomless pool, and he couldn't tell what she was thinking.

------Off topic------

The cutest roll in the world, happy birthday!
