Li Changyan didn't react for a while when he heard this, he moved his body, and the wound on his hand suddenly stinged.

When the woman saw this, she stepped forward to support Li Changyan.

Li Changyan looked at the woman through the dim light.

After working outside for about a long time, the corners of the woman's eyes have fine wrinkles, the skin has become rough, and the eyebrows and eyes can still find the look of the year.

It's indeed Qing'e, that's right.

Why did Qing'e say these words, Li Changyan's mind was in a mess, Qing'e wanted to marry the Li family back then, and Mrs. Li asked someone to find her a good family, but Qing'e became seriously ill less than half a year after she got married, and then he heard that Qing'e died of illness.

Now Qing'e is not only back from the dead, but also said that she fled for her life.

Why did Qing'e run for her life?

Li Changyan didn't understand a little, could it be that someone in the Li family wanted to harm Qing'e back then?

Back then, he wanted to carry Qing'e to his aunt, and Mrs. Li was also very much in favor of this, after all, Qing'e has been in the Li family for many years, and she has always served with all her heart, Mrs. Li has given birth several times, there are too many children in the family, and it is also a good thing to take care of many women in the inner house.

But he didn't expect Qing'e to resolutely disagree, and even seek death in front of him, he was so worn out that he had no way, and instructed Mrs. Li to prepare a dowry for Qing'e, which fulfilled her wishes.

After so many years, he has long forgotten about this matter, but he didn't expect that there was still a hidden secret.

On top of that, Qing'e mentioned his case.

He met Gao Jiansong a few times, all because of Xu'er's relationship, he went to Gaofu to thank him, but he never exchanged letters with Gao Jiansong in private.

The imperial court determined that he was related to the letter in Qing'e's mouth?

"Master," Qing'e couldn't help but be a little anxious when she saw that Li Changyan didn't react, "Did you hear what the slave said?" ”

Before Li Changyan could speak, Li Mao had already come over and said, "What do you mean by this?" Where did the letters come from? ”

Qing'e was stunned, but she didn't expect Li Changyan and Li Mao to know these inside information.

"Don't you know?" Qing'e said, "The court will arrest the lord because there is solid evidence in his hand, and the grain was mentioned in the correspondence between Gao Jiansong and the lord, so the lord came to Huailaiwei." ”

Li Changyan's eyes widened again, although he was arrested by the imperial court and was about to be escorted to Beijing for trial, he was not too panicked, after all, he and Gao Jiansong did not have much to do with it in private, the imperial court only had to investigate, even if Li Mao was involved in the affairs of the Jiang family, it was an unintentional move, and Li Mao also helped the Xu family arrest Uncle Jiang.

If he was implicated by his son, it would not have too serious consequences, but now Qing'e told him that the court had solid evidence in its hands.

Li Changyan began to feel panicked, and couldn't help blurting out: "What nonsense are you talking about." ”

"It's true," Qing'e said, "After the slave maid got the news, he asked someone to inquire around, the slave maid has been doing chores outside all these years, and met a hundred households in the guard, and the hundred households had gone to arrest Gao Jiansong, these words were all heard by his own ears, if it weren't for this, the slave and maid would not have come." ”

Li Mao didn't wait for Li Changyan to speak: "What does this have to do with my mother?" ”

Qing'e looked at Li Changyan, and Li Changyan's eyes were also blank.

Qing'e couldn't help but shake her head: "I didn't expect that you have never doubted the eldest lady for so many years, have you always felt that the eldest lady is gentle and weak, deferential and virtuous?" ”

Li Changyan heard a bit of ridicule from Qing'e's voice.

"The eldest lady took the sons you gave birth to outside back to the Li family, claiming to be her own, so that you have more children and more blessings, never complained about you, and regarded these children as her own, which is something that ordinary housewives can't do, and gave birth to the ninth master desperately, and did not hesitate to travel long distances with you to seek medical treatment for the sake of the ninth master, and even fell ill, we all admired the eldest lady very much, until I found a secret later."

Li Changyan stared at Qing'e deadly, waiting for Qing'e to speak.

Qing'e said, "Do you remember Mr. Lu?" ”

Li Changyan nodded, Mr. Lu is Brother Xu's Xixi, in order to teach Brother Xu, he even only needs half of the restraints, he respects this old gentleman very much.

"When the master was still in Shandong, he was often busy in the yamen, only his wife was in charge of things at home, and his wife was not very good at that time, and she would always fall ill in bed, and her wife was born with a head disease, and she didn't like to be around when she was seriously ill, and only Jiang's mother served in the house, and we were all sent away.

At first, I didn't think there was anything, until one night Qingzhu ate something bad, and went to the clean room several times in a row, and the last time I didn't come back, I went out to check, who knew that Qingzhu was not in the clean room, I was strange and looked around, and finally saw Qingzhu's figure outside the nunnery.

I was about to go up to talk to Qingzhu, when I noticed that there was movement in the nunnery, I hid in the corner of the hall and looked, and found that Mr. Lu came out of the nunnery with a person, it was a man, the man was wearing a cloak to cover his face, so that people could not see his face clearly. ”

Qing'e said this and looked at Li Changyan.

Li Changyan's face was gloomy, obviously thinking of something.

In the middle of the night, a strange man appeared in the Li family's house.

Li Mao was even more nervous, his forehead was covered with sweat, this matter was about his mother, if he could calm down.

"Who is that?" Li Changyan finally couldn't help but ask.

Qing'e shook her head: "The slave doesn't know, but ...... The slave saw the eldest lady chase after her from the nunnery, and then hugged the man. ”

Li Changyan's blue tendons floated on his forehead, and he sat up straight all of a sudden: "What did you say?" ”

Qing'e's eyes were firm: "The slave maid didn't lie to the master, the slave maid was also scared and weak at that time, I don't know what to do, the man said a few words in the ear of the eldest lady to appease the eldest lady, and then followed Mr. Lu away." ”

Li Changyan's face was strange, and there was a complicated look in his eyes, which was surprised, angry and suspicious: "Since that's the case, why don't you tell me?" ”

Qing'e didn't panic: "The master will know the reason when he listens to the slave and maid." ”

After saying this, Qing'e pursed her lips: "The slave knows that this matter is not trivial, but if the eldest lady finds out at that time, the slave and the maid will definitely die, so the slave and the maid left in a hurry, ready to calm down and think about countermeasures."

The slave and maid returned to the house, and after a while, Kung Fu Qingzhu also returned, Qingzhu thought that the slave and maid were asleep, and tiptoed to bed without saying anything to the slave and maid.

The slave maid looked at Qingzhu from the side, seeing that she had something on her mind, and knew that she must be thinking about how to deal with this matter. ”

Qing'e said this, and looked at Li Changyan again: "Do you remember what happened to Qingzhu in the end?" ”

Li Changyan had already thought of something at this time, and his expression was even more difficult to look at: "I remember that when Qingzhu went out to buy things, he met a bandit and was taken to the forest and killed. ”

"Yes," Qing'e said, "Qingzhu is dead, Qingzhu is greedy for money, she has long wanted to buy some fields with a sum of silver, live the life of a master, and never be a slave again, the slave suspects Qingzhu to threaten his wife, and then he is killed by his wife."

The slave didn't expect that a person like his wife would be so ruthless, since there was Qingzhu in front, the slave and maid would not dare to publicize it, looking forward to the master's return, telling the truth to the master, and asking the master to decide. ”

Li Changyan clenched his hands, if according to Qing'e's words, there was another accident later, so Qing'e did not reveal the truth to him.

Qing'e continued: "The slave didn't say it, because a few days later, the master encountered an opportunity for promotion, and the slave knew that this opportunity was sought by the wife for the master, not only that, but the silver used for the master's promotion was also given by the man." ”

Hearing this, Li Changyan was completely furious: "You are talking nonsense. ”
