Jiu'er's heart sank, so she nodded lightly, turned around and walked back into the house, and handed the paper ball to Xia Mengning.

Wu Qing looked at it, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "This Li Yan's movements are quite fast." ”

Xia Mengning opened the paper ball, only to see that only two words were written on it, 'Xue Ping'.

"This matter is not trivial, the Fang clan has already started to do something to us, you must not take it lightly, you must watch Yilan Yuan strictly, if there is anything to tell me immediately." Xia Mengning put the note on the candlestick and burned it, and said to Wu Qing. Wu Qing nodded, stood up and walked out, Jiu'er came over and poured Xia Mengning a cup of tea, Xia Mengning looked at her and said, "Jiu'er, it's not convenient for you to go out more these days, just let Wu Qing go if there is anything." ”

Jiu'er smiled, "Miss, don't worry about the slave, no matter how powerful the lady is, she can't commit murder in the house." ”

Xia Meng pondered for a while, only to feel that things were getting more and more tricky now, but he couldn't do anything. Thinking of this, Xia Mengning closed her eyes and said to Jiu'er: "You go and inform the fourth aunt and let her be more careful recently." ”

Jiu'er walked out in response, Xia Mengning looked at the candlestick on the table, feeling upset, Xia Mengxi was sent out of the house, and the Fang family didn't care about it, and was bound to put herself to death, but her mother's power was no longer optimistic, how could she still have the heart to deal with herself?

Xia Mengning brackarded his forehead, tilted his head and looked at the scenery in the courtyard from the window, Xia Mengyou and Xia Mengran are not fuel-efficient lamps, but Xie Shi still doesn't know what's wrong, he wants to help Xia Mengran take the position, originally these things were not enough to fear, but now these things are pouring out, which makes people very confused.

Standing up and walking to the piano, Xia Mengning casually plucked the lyre with her hands, and the intermittent tone poured out, enough to hear the thoughts of the person playing the piano.

After lunch, Xia Mengning was resting on the table of the small couch with her chin propped up, when she heard Wu Qing's voice from the courtyard.

"Jiu'er, is Miss asleep?" "Like, is there something wrong with you?" There was no sound, only Wu Qing was whispering something, and he simply woke up, Xia Mengning sat up and tidied up a little, and shouted outside: "Come in." Wu Qing and Jiu'er listened, so they walked in one after another, and Jiu'er saw that Xia Mengning was still tired between his eyebrows, so he took it upon himself to serve the sour plum soup that had been icing in the well in the backyard.

Xia Mengning drank the sour plum soup, only to feel that the chaotic discomfort in her head gradually disappeared, and the whole person slowly woke up.

Wu Qing also begged for a bowl to drink from Jiu'er, but she didn't have the Sven of Xia Mengning, so she raised her neck and drank a bowl of sour plum soup in a few bites.

After drinking the soup, Wu Qing wiped his mouth and said: "I stayed in the Yilan Garden all morning, guess what, the doors and windows of the Fang family's house were closed, I was curious, why do you want to close the windows on this hot day, I ran to the roof of the house, lifted the tile and took a closer look, the Fang family was sitting on the couch, the whole person was shaking, the room was full of smoke, as if it was on fire." ”

Xia Mengning was startled, straightened up and said, "Could it be ......?"

Wu Qing nodded, "No, as soon as I lifted the tile, I smelled the smell inside, and the smell of the medicine residue I brought back in the morning, the smell made people's whole body not excited, I didn't dare to smell more, so I hurried back to tell you." ”

"The Fang clan is actually smoking this incense?" Xia Mengning said, "How did she get this spice, as far as I know, my father didn't get this spice from the emperor." ”

Jiu'er listened to it on the side, and interjected: "Didn't Wu Qing say that he saw Xue Ping go to the pharmacy to get this spice, Xue Ping is Liu's mother's eldest son-in-law, and it is not impossible to get it through Xue Ping." Jiu'er's words woke Xia Mengning up, Xia Mengning stretched out her index finger and dipped it in the teacup, gently drew a circle on the table, and said with a smile: "In this way, we don't need to look for more, now, with this alone, we can get rid of the Fang clan and never have any trouble." ”

Wu Qing didn't have any opinion on this matter, but Jiu'er was secretly worried, "Miss, let's think about it again." ”

Xia Mengning gave Jiu'er a reassuring smile, "It's okay, it will take some time for this matter to be done, so let's do it, don't pay attention to the Fang Clan's matter recently, so as not to startle the grass and snakes, let's hold our troops first, be optimistic about the Fang Clan, and wait for the time to come, we can cut the grass and eradicate the roots." ”

Wu Qing touched his chin and said with a grim smile: "I know you won't get rid of her so easily." ”

Xia Meng glanced at Wu Qing and said, "You wait a minute, I have something to tell you." Seeing this, Jiu'er winked at Wu Qing, and then walked out.

Xia Mengning put down the teacup, walked to the desk in the back room and took the rice paper, and wrote, "Recently, I have been riddled with trivial matters, and I am sorry for not being able to reply to the letter in time. ’

After writing, Xia Mengning dried the ink and folded it into her embroidered purse, and handed it to Wu Qingdao: "Give this to the prince, tell him about the snake beauty, and let him check it." ”

Wu Qing walked over and took the purse, looked at it a few times, and said: "I went to see the senior brother in the morning, knowing that you didn't reply to his face, his face was ugly, and even took me with a cold eye, now you let me go like this, I guess I can't even enter the gate of the Shizi Mansion." ”

Xia Mengning was embarrassed for a moment, and then said casually: "You naturally have your way to get in, and the threshold of a mere Shizifu can still stop you?" Wu Qing was dumbfounded, glanced at Xia Mengning sullenly, and pretended to sigh and said, "I'm just trying my best, don't blame me if you can't send it in." Xia Mengning was silent, and when she saw Wu Qing leaving, she unfolded her sweaty hand and sighed to herself.

Wu Qing walked out of the house, and couldn't help but muttered a few words in his heart Xia Mengning was stingy, this kind of errand thing, he didn't give himself more silver flowers, and said righteously that he had a way, and he wanted to walk back to his room with a sullen head, and he saw Jiu'er sitting in front of the door embroidering the patterns on the quilt, remembering that he still had a small snack in his arms, so he took it out and handed it to Jiu'er and said: "I bought it when I went out in the morning, and I will relieve your hunger with Zhulian." ”

Jiu'er took it with a smile, and seeing that Wu Qing's face was not good, she blinked her eyes and thought about it: "Are you angry with Miss San?" Wu Qing scratched his head, Jiu'er put down the needle and thread, opened the paper bag of osmanthus cake, took a piece of osmanthus cake and handed it to Wu Qing, "Eat a piece." Wu Qing waved his hand, "I don't like to eat sweet, I'll buy it for you." ”

Jiu'er smiled, took a bite to her mouth, "Actually, the third lady is very good, you also know this, but occasionally she speaks too strictly, which is also a last resort, in fact, you know better than anyone else in your heart, otherwise how could you come to the Prime Minister's Mansion at that time?" ”

Wu Qing didn't say anything, he reached out and played with the blessing word sachet hanging on the door, Jiu'er saw it, but still didn't make a sound, wrapped the osmanthus cake, patted Wu Qing's shoulder, walked to the side and continued to embroider the quilt.

There was a sound of footsteps at the gate, Wu Qing glanced at it, and saw that it was Zhulian who came over with a basket, so he hurriedly stood up and said, "I'm leaving." ”

When I went out, I met Zhulian, and the two were used to bickering, but now they were not in the mood to bickering, so they nodded to each other and walked over.

"Sister Zhulian is back." Jiu'er went up to take Zhulian's basket, and when she saw that Zhulian's face was pale, she asked with concern, "What made my sister unhappy?" ”

Zhu Lian didn't sit down, only picked up the teapot and poured the tea, drank a bowl of tea, and said with one hand: "It's not the buying woman, I told her to buy water-red embroidery thread a few days ago, but when I went today, she actually said that she forgot, looking at her appearance, she obviously deliberately didn't buy it, and I was angry, if it weren't for the fact that Steward Li punished her for half a month's moonsilver, I would have beaten her in the morning." ”

Jiu'er listened, thought for a while, and said, "Sister, don't be angry, this mother-in-law who buys embroidery fabrics belongs to Wang Si's family?" Zhu Lian nodded, "Isn't it, it's really hateful to dare to be so powerful and blessed because you are a distant relative of your aunt, I see, the four princes dare to treat our Zhuzhiyuan like this, maybe they were instructed by the seventh aunt, otherwise, why just embarrass us." ”

Jiu'er took the osmanthus cake and handed it to Zhulian, and said with a smile: "Sister, don't be angry, you can't be angry with yourself for this, look, this is sent by Wu Qinggang, my sister loves sweetness the most, try it." ”

Zhu Lian glanced at the osmanthus cake, and finally couldn't resist the temptation of food, so she put a piece in her mouth, Jiu'er looked at her satisfied look, and smiled: "The relationship in this matter is big, let's tell Miss." Zhu Lian thought about it, nodded, and the two went to the back room to tell Xia Mengning about the matter.

"Wang Si's family?" Xia Mengning repeated, and asked Zhu Lian again, "Isn't this Wang Si's family a distant relative of the Ning family?" ”

Zhu Lian nodded, and Xia Mengning thought about it, "I'm afraid this matter has nothing to do with the Ning family, in this way, you don't have to be angry, next time you need to go directly to Li Yan, you don't have to go through her." ”

Zhu Lian nodded, Jiu'er thought for a while, and said, "Miss, lately, the master has been staying in the fourth aunt's house, and the Ning family is probably anxious, so this is the seizure." ”

Xia Mengning had already thought of this, but Jiu'er could think of it immediately, and it could be regarded as clever, so she nodded and said: "It must have something to do with this matter, but the reason for this is that it is too complicated, there are so many rooms in the house, and none of them are fuel-efficient lamps, Ning's move is afraid that it is a last resort." ”

After thinking about it, Xia Mengning stood up and walked to the desk in the back room, and wrote, 'Ning's', 'Fang's', 'Xue Ping', 'Snake Beauty', and 'White Ganshen'.

After writing these, Xia Mengning stood in a daze, Jiu'er and Zhulian saw each other, they all looked ignorant, Zhulian was the fourth aunt's dowry girl, a few years older than Xia Mengning, but she was also illiterate, Jiu'er was a pitiful, and she didn't know a few big words.

Xia Mengning was stunned for a while, and then he saw the expressions of the two, so he drew a circle in Ning's position, and said: "Now that the situation is clear, the fourth aunt of Ning's red eyes has the favor of her father, and she wants to be framed secretly, and now the spearhead has been directed at Zhuzhiyuan, I am afraid that Mei Fangyuan will also be framed, because Xia Mengxi was sent away, Fang's hatred for me is even worse, so she wants to quietly catch the two of you, but we found out that Fang's secretly sucked the snake beauty, maybe she herself didn't know what the effect of the snake beauty sucking too much." , But now we have to be the most accurate, that is, where did Fang's snake beauty come from, and who made her suck this snake beauty, and also, Ning's scheming is vicious, and now he dares to openly make things difficult for Zhuzhiyuan, and then he will definitely not let Mei Fangyuan go, I remember that last time there was a little girl named Yuyue in Meifangyuan, who was very restless, you two should keep an eye on it at any time, these are the key. ”

When Zhu Lian and Jiu'er heard this, they only felt that things were like undulating mountains, and they were set aside one after another, interlocking with each other, as if they had fallen into a fog.

Xia Mengning lowered her head and thought for a while, and then continued: "You must cheer up in the near future, especially to protect your own safety first, you know?" ”
