Looking at the three sisters and brothers of the Yue family who were crying and hugging each other in front of him, Xiao Xuan's eyes couldn't help but sour.

"My subordinates ask Her Royal Highness the princess for peace." Xiao Yu's subordinates, who escorted Yue Ying's younger brother and sister to come, stepped forward to greet Xiao Xuan.

"Did you go well today?" Xiao Xuan asked Lu Lin to give the silver reward prepared in advance to the visitor, and asked kindly. "What about your Highness?"

"Back to the princess, this matter was personally brought forward by His Royal Highness King Qin, and things are going very smoothly." The subordinate accepted the reward. "Thank you, princess, for the reward."

Xiao Yu's subordinates went back to the Qin Palace, Xiao Xuan gave Lu Lin a look, and Lu Lin dispersed all the rest of the people in the hall after he understood.

"Miss Yue, since your brother and sister have been picked up safely." Dan Tangerine, who had been waiting by Xiao Xuan's side by Yue Xuan's side, stepped forward and whispered to remind Yue Ying, who was still crying with his younger brother and sister. "You owe it to the princess."

"It's... Yes, I was rude. After Dan Tangerine's mention, Yue Ying finally reacted, she quickly wiped away the tears on her face, took her brother and sister's hands and stood up, and led the two of them to Xiao Xuan, and the three sisters and brothers knelt down in front of Xiao Xuan with a puff. The folk girl brought her brother and sister to thank the princess for her great kindness. ”

Xiao Xuan sat upright and accepted their salutes, and then waved his hand to signal Dan Tang and Lu Lin to help them get up.

"Get up." Xiao Xuan asked Dan Tang and Lu Lin to help the Yue family sisters and brothers sit down, and then asked Zhengse. "Now that your brother and sister have returned to you safely, I still have something to ask you."

"The princess can just say it directly, and the folk girl knows everything."

"Why did you enter the imperial capital, think about it, you still haven't forgotten it, right?" Xiao Xuan looked at Yue Ying's red and swollen eyes that were crying and asked. "Two roads, one way, you take your brother and sister to wait for the tense to completely calm down and go back to Jiangnan, my grandfather's family has some old acquaintances in Jiangnan, if you encounter trouble in the future, you can ask them for help. On the other hand, my sixth brother should really like you, if you are willing to stay in Yiwang's Mansion and serve him by his side. Even if the title of side concubine is really not allowed to you, at least it will help you and your brothers and sisters to enjoy peace and security in the imperial capital. ”

"Princess, the folk girl has no intention of taking a concubine with someone. And before the death of the minnu's father, the minnu had made money into the prison to meet him, and the minnu swore that she would not marry or marry until she raised a pair of brothers and sisters. Yue Ying answered Xiao Xuan's question without the slightest hesitation. Although the family background of the people's daughter is meager, there are still some industries, which is enough for the people's daughter to raise her eldest brother and sister. ”

"Well, since you said so, I won't persuade you much." Yue Ying's answer did not surprise Xiao Xuan, but felt that it was expected by himself. "In that case, you may need to take your brother and sister to continue to live in my house for a while. When we confirm that we can send you back to Jiangnan safely, we will send someone to escort you back to Jiangnan. ”

Xiao Jin, who returned to the palace of Jinjun that day, took out the long sword hanging on the wall of the study when he entered the study, and slashed indiscriminately in anger.

As Hu expected, there was a commotion in the study not long after Xiao Jin came back.

When the commotion started, Hu was sitting with his children eating dinner, and the children heard the noise over there, and they all stopped what they were doing and looked at Hu.

Hu Shi was still comfortably eating the food in his bowl without raising his head.

"Mother, this sound sounds like it's coming from my father's study?" The children pushed and shoved for a while, and the last person to ask was the eldest son of the Hu family. "It's a lot of commotion."

"It's none of your business, just eat your food." Hu Shi put down the chopsticks in his hand and said to the children with a smile. "I know it's the commotion ahead, don't run around in our yard these days, you know?"

"Got it."

After the meal, the children were taken back to the room by the nurses and maids around them, and the Hu family left only their eldest son.

"Mother, do you have anything to tell the child?" The eldest son of the Hu family has a calm personality, and even though he is not very old, he seems to be more mature than children of the same age.

"There's nothing extra to say." Hu Shi looked at his eldest son with satisfaction and said with a smile. "Your father's temper has grown so big, you should know something. You heard Fang Cai's movement, I'm afraid he will make trouble in the house for a while. You're the eldest child in the house, and you have to take care of your younger brothers and sisters, you know? ”

"yes, I see." Hu's eldest son nodded obediently. "During this time, I will be optimistic about my younger brothers and sisters, and I won't let my mother bother more."

"Good boy, go back to your room and rest."

After the eldest son of the Hu family left, he went to the Liguo Mansion and hurriedly returned to the Xiangdong of the Jinjun Palace, and returned to the courtyard of the Hu family.

"How's it going?" Hu Shi watched his eldest son leave, and then looked at Xiangdong and asked. "Did you go back safely on a spring night?"

"If you go back to the princess of the county, when the slave maid arrived at the Liguo Mansion, she had already returned to the princess of the country on the spring night." Xiang Dong whispered in Hu's ear. The slave maid brought the words of the princess of the county to Grandpa Guo, and Grandpa Guo agreed to send Zhuangzi to hide for a while in the field of Spring Night. When the slave maid left the Guogong Mansion, the spring night had already left on the road. The follow-up candidate to replace the Spring Night, Grandpa Guo said that he would have to choose carefully for a while. ”

"Okay, that's it." After listening to the reply that Xiangdong got from the Liguo Mansion, Hu Shi's slightly hanging heart finally settled down. "Spring Night left, there is no real evidence, even if he Xiao Jin doubts me again, there is nothing he can do about me."

"Yes, the princess of the county can rest assured."

"By the way, you just came back from outside, and you should have heard the commotion from the other end of the county king's study." Hu Shi listened to the still unstopped movement outside and said. "Concubine Liao, you have informed me, and the people in our yard also remember to restrain me, don't run to the front yard if it's okay."

"Yes, the slave and maid have written it down, and the slave and maid will definitely restrain the people in the courtyard." Xiangdong jaw head. "When the slave maid had just passed through the side door of the front yard, she had already seen the bodies of two maids carried out from there, and it looked as if they had not been scolded with a rod."

"Okay, I see." Hu Shi exhaled a breath and ordered Xiangdong. "In the end, it's two lives, it's really a sin. Go back and talk to Concubine Liao, the two lives are buried in our mansion, let her be optimistic about whether it is the people who are bought in the house or the people who come out of the palace, don't let people be thrown directly to the mass grave, at least find a coffin to collect the body and release it to the family, and give the appeasement silver as usual. ”

"The princess of the county, but that is the person who was scolded to death by the staff of the princess of the county, what if Concubine Liao ordered someone to collect the corpse is known to the princess?" Xiangdong asked uneasily. "What if the king of the county loses his mind and goes to find Concubine Liao or comes to our courtyard?"

"Two lives died in his hands, and I asked Concubine Liao to collect the corpse to help him wipe his ass." Hu replied disapprovingly. "Since he was reprimanded by His Majesty last time when he almost took Concubine Liao's life, he will no longer have the courage to move Concubine Liao. If he dares to come to my yard to make trouble and disturb my peaceful life, don't blame me for throwing my veil and crying in front of the palace with tears in my eyes. ”

Things were similar to Hu's guesses, and after Xiao Jin returned home, he didn't think much about it, so he set his eyes on his yard.

brought the steward of his courtyard, counted the heads, and found that a maid who had only been selected for less than a year had disappeared, and now she was alive and dead. The steward brought up the two maids who lived in the same room as the missing maid, and Xiao Jin ordered the two maids to be scolded with a cane and asked about the maid.

As a result, before he could ask what he had come back, neither of the two maids was taken along, but he died after a few dozen rods.

Xiao Jin was so angry that he felt even more uncomfortable in his chest when he smelled the blood in the room, so he asked the steward to quickly send someone to drag the two dead maids out to deal with them.

"The people who serve in my yard are all picked by you, aren't they?" Xiao Jin turned to look at the steward gloomily, and asked gloomily. "Why didn't you tell me about the maid when I asked you?"

"The king of the county, is it a minion? It was confirmed that the net worth was innocent and there was no problem, so I chose the maid called Spring Night to serve in the courtyard. The steward was so frightened that his legs were weak, and he suddenly fell in front of Xiao Jin, and defended. That spring night was always clumsy, and every now and then she had to break something, and then the slave transferred her to the periphery to do some of the roughest work, and she couldn't even touch the edge of the county king's study on weekdays. ”

"But now this person is gone!" Xiao Jin recalled how he looked when he was threatened by Xiao Yu in the other courtyard, and he just wanted to eat people and drink blood. "At this moment, it disappeared without a trace before I came back from the courtyard. The deed she left in the house, did you call it out and read it? Does she have no parents and family in the imperial capital? Now go and bring her family into the house for me. ”

"If you go back to the county king, this spring night is an orphan girl whose parents died, and she was sold by her uncle and aunt to serve in the county king's mansion." The steward knelt on the ground to reply, and the cold sweat behind his back was already completely soaking his clothes. "The minions have sent someone to investigate, and shortly after she entered the house, her uncle fell into the moat and drowned, but her aunt and two children left home in the middle of the night and have disappeared since."

"Yes, yes." When Xiao Jin got such a reply, he was so angry that he kicked the steward away and said with a sneer. "It's really a finch all day long, but I'm pecked by a farrow. I can't do calculations, but I have been stared at by others for so long. ”
