Although it was late and night fell, the gate of the Yan Mansion, which was not open all the year round, was rarely surrounded by many people pointing and pointing

The Yan family should have been the most idle porter, but today they have become the busiest

"Bad luck, bad luck," the porter's face turned a little pale, and he didn't dare to show his head when he sat in the room, but he didn't dare to close the door that was easily not opened

"Isn't the eldest lady coming back yet?" the little apprentice in the porter was so anxious that he was like ants on a hot pot and walking all over the ground

In addition to the porter and his apprentices, there were three or five family members in the small ear room at the gate

"You guys are still pointing to the eldest lady, the eldest lady has already married, and it belongs to someone else, so it's better to expect the people from the yamen to arrive early."

"What do you know, tell me where the eldest lady got married?"

"The eldest lady married into the Yanwang Mansion, and I still need to say who doesn't know."

"Isn't this the end of it, Lord Yan is now in charge of the Criminal Department, our house is a human life lawsuit, it will definitely alarm the Criminal Department, in the end, this matter is not to trouble the eldest lady, what is the difference between playing one day earlier and one day"

"Well, you're smart, you don't know yet, the eldest lady is pregnant, it's not good, it's the first male in Yanwangfu's life, it's not enough to make the eldest lady run, what if the tire gas moves?"

"Who do you listen to?"

"It's Aunt Caifeng's yard, didn't she go to see the eldest lady yesterday?"

"It's a great thing, if there is no bad one at the door, it would be better"

"It's not a good day, but I ran to the door of someone's house and hanged him, what the hell is this person thinking......"

The sound of bits and pieces of words faintly reached the door, where there was a female corpse swaying in the evening breeze, occasionally turning around, and the blue belt around her neck was tied to the plaque at the gate of the Yan family

The sound of horses' hooves was heard

"Get out of the way," a shout came, and the people watching the excitement at the door were driven away and dispersed

The porter and a few family members hurriedly got out, only to see Yan Xiuyu riding a horse standing in front of the door, followed by several people dressed as officials

Yan Xiuyu frowned, looked at the corpse of the woman who committed suicide at the door, and commanded several officials to put her down and throw her on the ground, carefully examining it

"Little Wangye, this woman should have died first, and then she was hung up"

Among these people, two very experienced old servants suddenly found out that something was wrong and reported to Yan Xiuyutong

"This woman should have been stuffed in her face with something and suffocated to death, and she was hung up as soon as she lost her breath," the woman said earnestly, lifting the collar of the woman's corpse

It was the same suffocation, but the strangulation marks were different, and those who really knew how could see it at a glance

The Yan family's concierge and family members were about to explode with a bang

"Who is so vicious to frame the Yan family like this?"

"Uncle is in charge of us."

Yan Xiuyu's eyes were like torches, and he waved his hand and said, "This corpse will be moved back first."

Just as a group of officials skillfully rolled up the female corpse with a mat and prepared to put it on the cart, a sound of footsteps came from the corner of the street

The group of people held torches and shone the surroundings red, and everyone couldn't help but look back

I saw a young man dressed in azure brocade and full of nobility leading a group of people towards this side

When he got closer, Yan Xiuyu recognized that this person seemed to be the second prince rather than the fourth prince, which made him stunned for a moment

The second prince and his entourage went straight to Yan's house, making the look on Yan Xiuyu's face gradually become unpleasant

He and Yan Qingge guessed that this matter had something to do with the fourth prince, but the people who came now were the second princes, and the more people involved in this matter, the worse it would be for the Yanwang Mansion

When the second prince arrived, he arched his hand at Yan Xiuyu and said apologetically: "Little Prince Yan, this woman is a slave in our house, I don't know who instigated me to come to the Yan family to make trouble, it was my family who was not strict and made trouble for the little prince and the Yue family."

Yan Xiuyu raised his eyebrows: "This woman is your house slave, where did you get the house slave?"

"I don't know Zhao Angzhi, tell me how this woman came from," the second prince waved his hand and said to the man who looked like a housekeeper following him

"Master, this woman claims to be Mei Niang, who voluntarily sold herself into our house in March this year, and she said that her husband and son are alone, lonely and helpless, and can only sell themselves to support themselves, and are divided into the kitchen to do chores, since the day before yesterday, this Mei Niang has disappeared, and our house also called someone to look for it, but I didn't think that this eye-opening person actually came here to make a big trouble," said the steward

Yan Xiuyu carefully looked at the expression of the second prince, and it seemed that the second prince really didn't know the previous identity of this woman

He exhaled a breath of turbidity and said: "As far as I know, the identity of this woman is not so simple, this woman is the elder of the Yan family, Yan Songnian raised the outer room before his death, and gave birth to an illegitimate child to the lord of the Yan family, my family is merciful, this woman is not only willing to keep this mother and son after she came to the door, but even the child born to her before and the man next to her is also willing to stay, but this 'Mei Niang' is not an honest person at all, and would rather take the Yan family's silver and go to another place to leave the child behind."

After Yan Xiuyu finished speaking, the expression on the second prince's face became very ugly

"It's just that someone is calculating me," the second prince's face was gloomy, and he was about to come out of the water

"Who is calculating the second prince, does His Royal Highness the second prince have a clue in his heart?" Yan Xiuyu asked

The eyes of the second prince seemed to be burning, and the eyebrows, which were not easy to deal with because of their narrowness, showed an expression that was difficult to approach

It took a long time for the second prince to snort and flick his sleeves and say: "Everything is handled by the little prince Yan, I will leave first."

Yan Xiuyu saw the appearance of the second prince and knew that the article in this matter must be big

After this Mei Niang's body was collected and sent to the Criminal Department, Yan Xiuyu went home, took a shower first, changed all the clothes on her body, and then went to see Yan Qingge

Yan Qingge was waiting for him to see someone and asked, "What's wrong?"

Yan Xiuyu showed a smile: "It's okay, it's been found out, it was she who was suffocated to death first, and then she was hung on the beam of the Yan family's house, and the relationship with the Yan family is not natural, and it can't be involved in the Yan Wangfu."

Yan Xiuyu didn't tell Yan Qingge about the sudden visit of the second prince, so that she wouldn't worry too much about this matter, it was really strange

Now everything is confusing, the second prince is not sooner or later, how can it be at that time, is it really someone who designed to frame him, or is he simply pretending

After coaxing Yan Qingge to fall asleep, Yan Xiuyu got on the ground lightly, put on his clothes, and went to Lord Yan's study, until the second half of the night, he rubbed his eyebrows and came out of it

Yan Qingge didn't take the matter of the Yan family to heart too much, what she cared about most every day now was the safety of the baby

Although Ruyi and Yan Xiuyu were worried that Yan Qingge's body was weak, and it might be difficult for this baby to conceive, Yan Qingge clearly felt that after she became pregnant, her body was healthy day by day, and there was no uncomfortable feeling that other pregnant women would have

Now it is the end of spring, and the flowers in the Yanwang Mansion are blooming just right

Yan Qingge used to live in Qingxingyuan, and liked to play on the pavilion on the water, and it happened that there was a small lake in the big garden of Yanwang's mansion, and there were strange flowers and plants around the verandah, and there were strange flowers and plants around the pavilion, which was more beautiful than the scenery in Yan's house

In the afternoon, the wind on the water became warmer and warmer, and Yan Qingge sat on the recliner and looked at the water surface, faintly drowsy

A group of figures came in the distance, Yan Qingge looked at it, and felt that there were people inside, vaguely looking like the eldest princess of Roufu

She stood up slightly and instructed the maid, "Go and see if your sister-in-law has returned."

The eldest princess of Roufu lives in Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing, and it is strange to come back at this time

After a while, the parrot trotted over and said, "It's the eldest princess."

"Help me up," Yan Qingge said

When the eldest princess of Roufu returns, she still has to see her

"Niangniang, slow down, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess told the slave maid that she came to the pavilion to talk to you," said Brother Parrot

After a while, Yan Qingge cleaned up her appearance, and the eldest princess of Roufu also arrived

Looking at the things in the pavilion, the eldest princess pursed her lips and smiled: "It's really a thing to enjoy."

Yan Qingge hurriedly invited the eldest princess of Roufu to sit down and instructed the maid to serve her tea, beat her legs and said with a smile: "Why did my sister-in-law come back and didn't say anything in advance."

"I went to the palace for a while, and then I came out, and I passed by the door of the house to take a look at you, and it was almost time for you to make trouble in your belly."

"It's not a fuss, some people say that the kid loves to make trouble, I'm afraid that this baby is a girl," Yan Qingge replied honestly

"Don't listen to people's nonsense, when I was pregnant with Ling'er, she almost didn't kill me, men and women didn't rely on these"

The two sisters-in-law gossiped for a while, and Yan Qingge always felt that the eldest princess of Roufu seemed to have something to say to herself today

After a while, Roufu himself opened his mouth first and said: "I haven't entered the palace for a few days, I used to think about the royal brother, maybe I want to see Ling'er, but unfortunately I didn't have a confinement during the New Year, I couldn't take Ling'er into the palace, now the weather is good, Ling'er is also a little older, I didn't expect to go to the palace today, I said I wanted to see the imperial brother, but I was diverted by the imperial sister-in-law, saying that the imperial brother is not very well, and he can't see people."

Yan Qingge didn't understand what Roufu's strange words meant, and didn't dare to speak

After all, this involves royal affairs, and it is a very important matter of the safety of the dragon body, and the eldest princess of Roufu herself is talking nonsense, but Yan Qingge, an outsider, is considered a crime

The eldest princess of Roufu's big eyes looked at Yan Qingge gently, and said: "I heard that it is your sister-in-law who is serving the imperial brother now, although I have heard some rumors about her before, but what kind of person is she or Qingge, you know best, can you talk to your sister-in-law about one or two?"

"What does sister-in-law want to ask" Yan Qingge nodded to the eldest princess of Roufu and said: "Qingge must know everything and say everything."

"I want to ask if that sister-in-law of yours can make some strange medicines," Eldest Princess Roufu asked unabashedly and very directly
