Qu Youying recognized that the maid was the only woman left after the old lady retired from everyone last time.

Judging from his behavior and clothing, this person should be the confidant of the old lady. So when Qu Youying walked with her, she began to talk halfway.

"Sister, what's your name?"

The maid was slightly blessed and said, "The slave's name is Qinghe, Miss Qu doesn't want to call the slave's sister, the slave can't afford it." ”

"Oh." Qu Youying responded and continued, "Sister Qinghe, you don't look very old, but you are a little different from ordinary maidservants in front of the old lady, have you followed the old lady since you were a child?" ”

As Qing He walked, he replied to Qu Youying's words very politely.

"The slave is a child who was picked up by the old lady, and the old lady is very good to the slave and the maid, and also teaches the slave and the maid to learn."

"Does that sister study medicine?"

"Studying medicine?" Qing He was obviously stunned, "How did Miss Qu find out?" ”

Qu Youying squinted her eyes and smiled kindly, "Because the old lady is old, his body and bones are naturally not as good as before, although there are many people around him, but if someone understands medicine and takes care of it, it will definitely be more convenient, I smelled the smell of medicinal herbs on my sister's body, and I thought it was caused by frequent contact, so I had such a guess." ”

Qing He suddenly realized, "Miss Qu is so young and so smart, which is really admirable." ”

"That's that, that's. There are very few beautiful and intelligent women like me, hahaha......"

Qu Youying boasted, Qinghe also smiled, Qu Youying saw her smile, but suddenly asked again, "But my sister's experience is similar to something I've heard before." ”

"Like slaves and maids, who have no father and mother since childhood, can be blessed by a rich family, it is also considered a blessing in this life, although not every orphan has this experience, but I have to say that in addition to slaves and maids, there are still people who are so lucky."

Qu Youying's chin lifted slightly, and she looked up at her, "No." ”

Qing He was stunned, "Isn't it?" ”

The three of them made a turn in front of them, and Qu Youying said, "Although the person I'm talking about is also a slave, but internally, he is like a mother and daughter with the wife of the head of the family." Madame raised her as a daughter, in addition to the piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, medical girl infrared, but also taught her to imitate, so she sometimes imitated Madame to stay in the house to deal with others. ”

Qing He's eyes blinked, and he said, "There is still such a thing?" Wouldn't that lady be angry? ”

Qu Youying looked at her, the smile on her face did not decrease, "Of course, it is with Madame's permission, otherwise how can it be so bold?" ”

Qing He nodded, seemingly fascinated by the story, and wanted to know what happened next, "What about after that?" ”

"After that, the maid fell in love with someone and left a child, but because the enemy of that family thought it was a child of the house, so he was poisoned, and the child's life was in danger, and the lady helped the slave and maid to save the child at all costs, but unfortunately the child still died."

Qinghe seemed to be touched, and reached out to wipe his eyes, "The mother must be very distressed." ”

"Yes! She was in pain, but it was also the beginning of her luck. ”

"How?"

"Because—" Qu Youying looked at the courtyard of the old lady in front of her, and said with a mysterious smile, "She began to kill the head of the family behind her back, framed the mother, and then married the son of the mother, and killed her husband, and successfully took control of the family." ”

Qing He covered his mouth with his sleeve, his eyes widened, as if he was startled, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

Qu Youying smiled, she patted Qinghe on the shoulder, and said, "Scare my sister!" It was the maid who left, and I don't know what happened after that. Sister, let's listen to a story at that time! ”

Qing He saw that the contrast between her front and back was so great, and in her beautiful eyes, she didn't know whether it was a trace of strange color that automatically rhymed, or the contrast formed by the beautiful sunlight shining into her eyes.

In short, Qu Youying stared at her with a smile for a while before urging, "Sister, let's go!" Otherwise, the old lady will be to blame. ”

Qing He nodded, turned around and led the way, and said no more.

Qu Youying is still happy, but her heart is very calm, she pointed out that the deer and the horse told Qinghe about the things of the year, because she wanted to probe her tone.

Even if she didn't know anything, this matter would fall into the ears of the old lady.

If she wants to know whether that incident was true or not, she can only think of this method, and she can give it a try.

During this period, Shui Linze did not speak, watching the conversation between the two, he automatically left a little distance.

But the expressions in his eyebrows and eyes looking at the two were extremely different.

It wasn't until he arrived in front of the old lady's courtyard that Qing He went in to say goodbye, and Shui Linze got a little closer to Qu Youying and said, "The story you just had was very exciting. ”

Qu Youying looked at the back of Qing He in front of her, her eyes were a little dazed, and her voice was extremely low, "Really?" ”

She looked down at her hand, and when she wiped her nose just now, she smelled a very familiar woman's fragrance on her hand, which did not belong to her.

But her hand had only touched Qinghe just now.

"Gone."

Shui Linze looked at her in a daze, and then when he could go in, he hit her hard with a fan, wanting to see her jump like thunder, but found that she was still silent, so she could only remind her.

"Oh."

Shui Linze always felt that she suddenly had something on her mind, and looked at Qinghe by the door with her eyes, and knew about it in her heart.

In the hall in the courtyard of the old lady, in addition to her and Mu Jingzhu, there are also water mist and water without moon, and even the water pupil that I met before is also there.

Except for a few masters of the Water Mansion, almost all the juniors are here.

Seeing that the last people were coming, the old lady waved them to sit down, and then he opened his mouth.

"Today, I will elect the next head of the Water Mansion."

As soon as this remark came out, all the people were shocked, because every head of the family in Shuifu was selected with the ancient scrolls, and now the ancient scrolls are missing, so they say that they want to choose the head of the family?

Shui Wuze couldn't help but ask, "Grandma, the ancient scrolls are not there, how do you choose the head of the family?" And—"

He glanced at the water pupil, there was no place for him as the head of the family, but on a day like today, the old lady called him, could it be said that the old lady intended to choose him?

As soon as he thought of this possibility, Shui Mize felt uneasy in his heart, the position of the head of the family must be his.

"If you don't have a book and an ancient scroll, is it possible that you have to keep the head of the Shuifu family in the air? I'm still alive, if I suddenly die one day, have you ever thought about what will happen to Shuifu? If it is given to you to jointly manage, I am afraid that this water house will be torn apart in less than a year! ”

The audience was speechless when the old lady said this, especially Shui Mize's face was red and blue, which was very embarrassing.

For a while, no one took the initiative to speak, and everyone was thinking strangely and wanted to wait for the opportunity to move.

And the old lady seemed to be angry, a little angry, after Qinghe's inspection, he took medicine and was angry for her.

After Mu Jingzhu saw that she was better, he said, "Since Taijun gathered everyone today to choose the head of the family, it's just that this matter has nothing to do with Mu someone, so I don't know if I should leave first." ”

He proposed to leave, naturally he had his intentions, Qu Youying was ready to retreat anytime and anywhere.

But the old lady shook her head and said, "No, you stay and be a witness." ”

"Grandma." Shui Wuze calmed his breath for a while, as if he was deflated again, and couldn't hold back and said, "The matter of choosing the head of the family is so big, how can you casually let others be a witness?" What's more, they are not important people, even if they want to witness, they have to let the prince come, right? ”

He originally wanted to talk about King Ji, but he felt that it was inappropriate, so he changed his words and only said that the prince was inclusive.

The old lady was about to get angry, but Shui Linze took the lead and said, "Grandma, my grandson thinks what the third brother said is reasonable, after all, this time the birthday celebration of Shuifu, the two princes are here, and the matter of choosing the head of the family is very important, and it is also necessary for the prince to testify again." ”

When the old lady heard this, she seemed to be reasonable, after all, the prince was in the house, and there were some things that still needed to be notified.

So send someone to invite it right away.

Qu Youying felt strange, Shui Linze also told her just now that King Yi was gone, so now go and invite, and only Jiang Tong will be invited.

But the old lady's expression obviously didn't know about King Yi's departure! Could it be that this has not been made public? Is it the news that Shui Linze knows in private?

While waiting, Qu Youying patted Mu Jingzhu's hand and wrote a few words on his back, telling him that King Yi had left.

After writing, Mu Jingzhu didn't give her any reaction, and the person who went to invite the prince came here with the prince.

It was Jiang Tong who came first, he was dressed in brocade clothes and jade clothes, wearing a jade crown, and his demeanor was graceful, and he looked good in the past few days, and his face was a lot rounder.

Seeing him looking at this side with a smile, Qu Youying directly gave a roll of his eyes, and then his eyes subconsciously looked at the door, which was actually just a subconscious action.

But she didn't expect that she saw King Yi also stepping over, dressed in a green robe, looking handsome, but the innate coercion and impersonal affection were still very obvious.

When Qu Youying saw him, she was obviously shocked, and subconsciously looked at Shui Linze on the other side.

And Shui Linze made a gesture by putting down the teacup, which means that he doesn't know.

Qu Youying pursed her lips and expressed her disbelief, but King Yi did appear here, and it couldn't be faked.

Is there a mistake in Shui Linze's news, or is King Yi gone and back?

Just when there were all kinds of conjectures, the back of Qu Youying's hand suddenly warmed, and then it was held.

When she looked back, it was Mu Jing Candle.

Although he didn't speak, the message in his eyes was already clear.

Act at the opportunity, don't mess around.

Qu Youying smiled slightly, and her chaotic thoughts also became peaceful again at that moment.

She sat down in a proper manner, looked at the two big people in front of her, and began to watch a good show.

When the old lady saw the two coming, she first greeted each other before getting to the point.

Because it is the choice of the head of the family, it is necessary to have a book and an ancient scroll, so when King Ji asked, the old lady took out something from his arms.

That thing, Qu Youying recognized, was the jade key she had taken out of the belly of the rotting female corpse.

It is said to be one of the keys to open the secret passage where the ancient scrolls are opened.

"Since everyone is here today, then the old man will take everyone and the two princes to take a look, this ancient scroll."

As soon as these words came out, there should have been an uproar, but the people in the entire hall were silent, because several people here, everyone knew that the ancient scroll was found to be lost.

And Qu Youying is sure that this thing should have disappeared a long time ago, but now it doesn't seem to be the case?

She pursed her lips and frowned, and her mind was spinning, and she soon realized that although she had heard that something had been lost, she did not think about whose mouth it had come from.

After all, this thing is placed so secretly, naturally it will not be known from ordinary people's mouths.

Therefore, she followed into the house at that time, and she didn't think much about it, and when the old lady said this, she subconsciously looked at Mu Jingzhu after the initial shock.

Seeing his calm expression, she knew it in her heart.

This matter was either planned by him and Lao Taijun, or he was responding to all changes with the same strategy.

So she was silent at the moment, and after the old lady signaled Qinghe to push her away, she followed the pace of everyone.
