An Qinyue raised her head suddenly, finally knowing that something was wrong today. In the past, the sister-in-law had nothing to say to him, but today the sister-in-law knocked on the side and never said clearly, is the sister-in-law suspicious of her and thinks that yesterday's incident has something to do with her? Thinking of this, An Qinyue's face changed and changed.

"Go home." She wants to go back to Xianggong, and then take Xianggong to explain to her sister-in-law that she has nothing to do with this matter and that she is innocent.

In the Huangfu Mansion, Huangfu Xue was not in a very good mood sitting in the pavilion, and the magpie stood aside, wanting to persuade him to say a few words but he was afraid that he would say the wrong thing. After hesitating, he said, "Miss, why don't you go and play with the little master for a while?" ”

"No need, yesterday's accounts haven't been sorted out yet, let's go to the study." Huangfu Xue got up and went to the study. At noon, An Mingchen went to the study after returning home and hearing about it, Huangfu Xue was sorting out the accounts, and when he saw him come in, he took a look and continued to be busy with the things at hand, "Why did you come back so early today?" ”

"The yamen will come back when it's fine." An Mingchen walked up to her and sat down, "Why didn't you tell me yesterday that the third sister had something to do with this matter?" ”

"How can I talk nonsense about things without evidence." Huangfu Xue closed the ledger and stood up with a frown, "Actually, even now, I don't have definite evidence, and I don't even want it to be true." Xianggong, is it true that most people can't go to the end, whether it's love or love? ”

"Don't talk nonsense." An Mingchen hugged him in his arms and comforted him worriedly, "I'll call him tomorrow to ask, if it's really up to you, you can do whatever you want." ”

An Mingchen accompanied Huangfu Xue to lunch and took a nap with her When she was about to leave, An Qinyue came with Zheng Nianyuan.

"Sister-in-law, I really don't know anything about yesterday, if it weren't for the rumors that the maid heard on the road just now, I'm afraid I wouldn't know what happened yesterday until I downloaded it. Yesterday's incident happened suddenly and coincidentally, and my sister-in-law was understandable to suspect me, but I swear I really never did anything to be sorry for my sister-in-law. If my sister-in-law doesn't believe me, you can ask her husband, and she can testify for me......"

An Qinyue pulled Zheng Nianyuan anxiously urging, Zheng Nianyuan didn't know what to say, just kept nodding, Huangfu Xue glanced at them, and said meaningfully, "Yesterday's incident happened too suddenly, it is indeed easy to make people reverie, but the third sister can rest assured, I won't believe anything without evidence,"

"Sister-in-law believes me?" An Qinyue looked at her happily, but Huangfu Xue didn't nod, "Yesterday, before Concubine He came, the maid who had served you had been persuading me to try the wine, and then I secretly went to find you......"

"No, where did my sister-in-law hear such a bastard, I haven't had private contact with Chunmei since I got married. Even if you come to the house occasionally, you rarely see each other, sister-in-law, there must be something here, you must find someone to find out. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to wash it even if I jump into the Yellow River. There was still no clue about the matter, but it was more complicated than before, Huangfu Xue sat at the table and bowed her head in contemplation, An Mingchen stared at her with a tea cup.

"I will send someone to investigate this matter, and the lady doesn't need to worry about it." Put down the teacup and stood up, "Didn't you say that today's account book hasn't been read yet?" Let's go, I'll watch it with you. The two went to the study and did not read the ledger until dark.

In the south courtyard, Xue Wei sat at the table with a displeased face, and Huang Fuyue scolded angrily, "Last year, because of gambling, my father almost kicked us out of Huangfu Xue's house, and how long has it been since you went to the gambling house again, you know that our current situation is very difficult, and my father is extremely dissatisfied with us, if he knows that you are blocking again, he will definitely drive us out." ”

"I can't help it, a few days ago I asked you for silver, you said you have no money, but the shop needs to be purchased, you need to send monthly money to the little girl, where you don't need money, I thought of many ways, this is the fastest money. Do you think I want to? "Who knew that her luck was so bad, she didn't win a handful in the morning, and she also lost a lot of money from another shop, and now it's too late to regret it.

Huangfu Yue frowned, "Now that the two shops need to be restocked, we can't get any silver, what can we do?" ”

"Why don't you go and beg the second sister, maybe she is willing to lend you some." Xue Wei spoke. Huang Fuyue subconsciously said, "Although the second child has not deliberately embarrassed us for more than a year, he is clearly separated from us, obviously he doesn't want to deal with us, let's not be bored." ”

"What about our purchases? My father-in-law said that if we don't do well with these two shops, we won't give them any more shops in the future. Xue Wei didn't want to give up the shop like this, he insisted, this was their last hole card, and he was really unwilling to give up like this. Huangfuyue didn't want to return the shop, but after a year, the two of them thought of countless ways, but the shop didn't improve at all, and now they are penniless, do they want to continue?

In the evening, Huang Fuxue sat at the table and drew pictures, the business of the restaurant was very good, and the shop had been open for a long time, so it was time to open a branch. Recently, Huangfu Xue has begun to let people find shops, and today I have nothing to do and I don't want to sleep, so I want to draw a sketch.

An Mingchen accompanied Ping An, and Ping An had already slept, but An Mingchen was worried about him, so he stayed by her side. Ping An sleep is very light, the slightest movement will wake up, I don't know where the wild cat came from the window and barked twice, Ping An squinted his eyes and was about to find his mother, An Mingchen didn't want to make a noise with Huang Fuxue, hugged him and coaxed him quietly.

Ping An is very obedient and sensible on weekdays, and at night he doesn't look for anyone except Huangfu Xue, An Mingchen coaxed the little guy for a long time and still cried non-stop, and in desperation, An Mingchen had to go outside to find Huangfu Xue with Ping'an. Huang Fuxue heard the cry, and hurriedly ran forward in distress, "What's wrong?" ”

"I was scared by the wild cats passing by outside the window." An Mingchen said that he laughed first, his son An Mingchen was afraid of the wild cat all the time, the little guy who had no prospects, and when he was older, he must practice her courage well. Huangfu Xue hugged Ping'an, probably because the little guy felt the taste of his mother's mother, and he didn't cry after drilling into his arms for a while.

"Little one with no conscience." An Mingchen shook his head with tears and laughter, took Huangfu Xue's shoulders and took them to the inner room.

On the second day, An Mingchen did not go to the court, and accompanied Huangfu Xue and Ping'an to play in the courtyard, and the magpie hurriedly came over, "Miss, the shopkeeper of the restaurant is here." said that there was something urgent to find the young lady. ”

"Let him in." Huangfu Xue handed peace to An Mingchen, got up, and the shopkeeper came over to salute her and said, "Early this morning, there were rumors on the street that the second miss entered the palace the day before yesterday to be disrespectful to the nobles, relying on the prime minister's wife, the emperor was arrogant, and even many merchants jumped out to tell the second lady's crimes. ”

The incident of the day before yesterday only broke out today, although it was caused by those merchants, but Huangfu Xue knew that this matter had nothing to do with Concubine He, she had long known that she was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and now she was not much surprised to hear this.

"Let's go, take me there." This matter is very important, and the slightest careless loss is her reputation for many years of operation, and there is no room for sloppiness. An Mingchen walked over with Ping'an, "I'll go with you." ”

"No need, you can stay at home with Ping'an." An Mingchen is busy with official business on weekdays, and rarely has time to accompany Ping'an, today is rare to have time She wants to let their father and son stay for a while, Huangfu Xue turned around and was about to leave, An Mingchen stepped forward uneasily, "I'll take him with you." ”

"No, he'd be scared at such a young age." Although I don't know the situation outside, it must not be simple to pick the lotus. She was not afraid, but she was worried that she would be scared of peace. Ping'an looked curious, although he didn't know what Huangfu Xue was going to do, but he knew that she was leaving, and seeing that his father had been stopping him, he also echoed, "Go...... Let's go to ......"

"Look, the little guy wants to go with you too, lady, isn't it good to have us with you?" An Mingchen smiled at Huang Fuxue, and Huang Fuxue naturally felt good, but he was just ...... Looking at Ping'an's simple smiling face, he suddenly nodded his head, "You can follow me, but Xianggong must promise me that if things are not easy to deal with, you will leave with Ping'an immediately." ”

"Okay." An Mingchen said this on his lips, but he was thinking of other ways in his heart. As soon as the two of them arrived at the main street, they noticed that something was wrong, and Huang Fuxue took Ping'an's hand worriedly, "You should take Ping'an back later." ”

"It's okay, no matter how small the little guy is, he is a man, he won't be afraid." An Mingchen took Huangfu Xue's hand, and the crowd didn't know how to say first, "Second Miss is here...... How dare she go out, she really knows people and doesn't know her heart, I used to think she was very good, but I didn't expect her to be the same as those black-hearted yamen. ”

"Who said it wasn't, I was worried about him the day before yesterday, but I didn't expect it to be a show. Rich people are really interesting, and they do so well in acting. Almost fooled me. ”

"Me too, I helped him find someone the day before yesterday. If I had known that it was false, what would I care? The man snorted coldly and turned to leave. Huangfu Xue glanced at An Mingchen, "The matter is more serious than I thought." ”

"It's okay, they just don't know the truth of the matter, just wait for us to make things clear." The two came to the door of the restaurant, squeezed into the crowd, there were many people around the door of the restaurant, and when they saw him coming, they asked him for an explanation, "Second Miss, I am an old customer of your Huangfu family, I originally thought that your Huangfu family is different from others, and I only went to your Huangfu's shop all these years, but I didn't expect that everything before was a lie, and you deceived us so hard." ”

"That is, is the meat you gave us stinky before, the pork seller just now has already told us, you never buy good pork, you buy bad cheap pork for us to eat, why are you so black-hearted, are you not afraid of retribution?"

"There is also the seafood before, are you also harming people, but in the end, you relied on Lord An and the emperor to suppress this matter. Did the noble man who killed in the palace take the blame for you? ”
