Chapter 51: The Birthday Banquet

Tong Yuqing also knew that the more Yu Chong's injury was delayed, the more serious it became, so she hurriedly turned her back and put on her coat. As soon as he turned around and was about to go up to help, he was stopped by Yu Chong. His face turned even paler, and he almost pounced on her. "You hold me a little bit, let Qing'an do it alone."

Only then did she realize that Qing'an had already cleaned up most of the mess on the ground, and a few arrows were left every few steps. This went all the way to the place where the scroll was hung just now, and the arrows were just finished.

When she was really shocked by Qing'an's ability, she saw Qing'an approaching the stone wall with a unique number of steps, and began to explore little by little from the root of the wall, until she touched a certain point in the road, and a card slot suddenly popped up on the stone wall, and he put all the arrows into it. After that, I went to another wall, and first tried the same way, but when I couldn't find the card slot, I started to explore it again, and found the mechanism again.

After doing this twice, he seemed to have found a pattern, and he quickly cleaned up the battlefield-like secret room, just as they had when they first entered the door.

Tong Yuqing was dumbfounded, Qing'an still has this kind of ability?

Yu Chong, who was beside her, saw her surprise and doubts, and said with a light smile: "When Qing'an was sent over, I found that he was very curious about this kind of thing, so I found some books on this subject for him to read. At that time, I didn't know what he could learn, but I didn't expect it to be so powerful. ”

Tong Yuqing heard relief and satisfaction from Yu Chong's weak and slightly gasping words, how could the son of the prince of Li Guo be a mediocre person. Suddenly remembering something, he pointed to the blood stains on the ground and said, "What about these?" ”

Qing'an happened to come over, took out a small medicine bottle from his arms, sprinkled some medicine powder on the bloodstained ground, and then squatted down to blow away the excess medicine powder, and to his surprise, the blood stains that had solidified on the ground also disappeared along with the excess medicine powder.

What the hell!

"This thing is so good, can it destroy corpses?"

Qing'an put away the medicine bottle with a calm face, "There is too little blood, it's just a temporary cover-up, and the corpse powder that destroys the corpse is ......" Qing'an suddenly looked at her straightly, and said with a dark look in his eyes: "There is one over there of the Seventh Prince." ”

Tong Yuqing didn't understand what he meant, and even Yu Chong frowned slightly.

"Got something?" Qing'an asked as a matter of course.

Yu Chong bowed.

Qing'an's face was a little better, "The injuries on your body can't be delayed, go back first." ”

I don't know where it touched, as soon as the door of the secret room opened, Qing'an pestered Yu Chong and went out. Tong Yuqing picked up the painting, and took the night pearl in her arms, and hurriedly left.

Qing'an hugged Yu Chong, and had to avoid the Yu Mansion along the way, which was risky and difficult. Tong Yuqing tightened the painting in her arms, gritted her teeth, pinned the scroll on her waist, went up to hold Yu Chong's other side, and asked Qing'an to go to the front first, and they followed.

Along the way, except for avoiding a few vigils, there was no danger. Carrying the things stolen from Mrs. Yu's small treasury, it was clear that this thing should belong to her, but Tong Yuqing was still a little weak-hearted. Yu Chong gradually lost her physical strength, and almost the whole person leaned on her.

After a whole day in the secret room with trepidation, Tong Yuqing didn't have much strength at this time, but looking at the cautious Qing'an in front of her, she gritted her teeth again and tried hard to support Yu Chong's body.

Watching Qing'an walk to the subordinate room of the Yu Mansion, Tong Yuqing was still nervous. But after seeing him walk into the firewood room and open the dark grid on the ground, she realized that there was something else in Yu's mansion.

When he returned to the courtyard, the sky was already slightly bright, Tong Yuqing carefully put Yu Chong on the bed, and Qing'an rummaged through the cabinets to find medicine.

"You go to the kitchen and boil hot water, I'll leave it here."

Qing'an unceremoniously excluded her, and skillfully helped Yu Chong treat her wounds. The blood-stained clothes were thrown on the ground, and the blood stains alone were enough to make Tong Yuqing frightened. She could still hear his breathing, feel his temperature, and feel that this person was still alive as she held her on the road. But now he was lying so quietly, his face was as white as paper, bloodless, like a dead man.

Tong Yuqing is like a fish in her throat, if it weren't for her, Yu Chong wouldn't be like this.

"What are you doing, go quickly."

She was like a fish in her throat, watching Qing'an's hand keep moving, and couldn't help but open her mouth. "You lighten up, don't hurt him."

Qing'an turned her head and glared at her fiercely, and she slammed her with guilt and self-blame, and she dodged as if she had no chance to escape.

By the time she brought hot water, it was already getting dark. Qing'an sat on the edge of the bed, hanging his head and saying nothing, so frightened that Tong Yuqing shivered fiercely. As soon as her hand was released, the hot water in the basin spilled her foot, but she didn't feel pain.

"What's wrong with him?"

Qing'an, who was passively stunned, couldn't wait to stare out his eyes, "He's not dead yet, what are you doing?" ”

Tong Yuqing was stunned, and suddenly laughed, smiling on her lips, but tears fell down. Qing'an was stunned for a moment, and withdrew his gaze a little awkwardly. "Crying for what? You're covered in blood, so get rid of it and don't let anyone see it. ”

With that, he walked out. When he staggered past her, he saw hot water stains on the ground, and then caught a glimpse of her wet shoes and socks, and wrinkled his eyebrows and said, "The scalded ointment is in the green bottle at the bottom of the cabinet, go and wipe it yourself." ”

Tong Yuqing didn't hear it, and when he entered the house, he came directly to Yu Chong's side, and saw that his face was much better, so he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Her mood was indescribably complicated, and she was in a trance on the edge of the bed for a moment, and then she remembered to change the clothes on her body. After turning to the screen, he took off his blood-stained clothes, and when he looked down and saw that the instep of his foot was already red, he realized the pain later. After a simple change of clothes, he walked out barefoot. As soon as I gave the medicine to my feet, I heard a bustle outside.

Tong Yuqing sneered, she had forgotten that today was the day of Old Madam Yu's birthday.

At this time, the Yu Mansion was very lively, and the people all gave out rewards early in the morning, and everyone was happy at this time. The soup kitchen table was set up at the door of Yu's mansion early, and the old lady walked around outside with the support of Xu Shuyuan and Yu Wenyi. Yu Wenyi arranged a few beggars who could talk, and after saying a good word, the old lady sprinkled a handful of copper plates with a smile, causing people to rob them wildly. After snatching and eating, they all regarded Mrs. Yu as a living bodhisattva.

After returning to the house, the old lady went back and changed her clothes again, and asked some more about preparations, and then nodded with satisfaction.

The old lady was in a good mood and had a smile on her face. "There have long been rumors about the household department, and there will be no fewer adults who come to pay their respects today. Wenyi, you have to entertain well, don't lose the face of our Yu Mansion. ”

"Grandmother, don't worry, I'll leave the matter of the front yard to me, and I'll be sure to give your grandmother a satisfying treat."

As soon as Yu Wenyi's words were finished, he saw that the old lady's face changed.

"Grandmother?"

The old lady said angrily: "You think I'm talking about the birthday banquet?" I'm talking about your official position! How many people have come to the house in the name of my birthday, are they all sincerely wishing me a birthday? Do you know how many people are waiting to find fault with you and pull you down? Now you are taking a wrong step and making a wrong step, the Seventh Prince promised to save you once, but if there is a next time, even if I lose the entire Yu Mansion, I am afraid that I will not be able to save you. ”

Yu Wenyi said yes again and again, Xu Shuyuan quietly pulled him behind him, and he corrected his color a little.

"Remember to be careful with what you say and do."

The number of people who came to pay their respects gradually increased, and the female relatives were led to the garden, and the male guests were carried to the front hall. Yu Wenyi was proud, with the arrogance of a young man in his words, and the modesty of a junior, several old people in the Seventh Prince's class nodded again and again.

The women's side is even more lively. The old lady set up the birthday banquet in the garden, and the ladies of each family were dressed up beautifully, the flowers were delicate, and the people were more delicate than the flowers, which was simply pleasing to the eye.

The three women have one mouth, and several ladies get together to talk a lot, one moment to say that the daughter of the family is married to a second ancestor, and the other time to say that the daughter of this family has a big belly before she gets married.

"Mrs. Xu, it's been a few months since your scholar got married, why haven't you seen your belly?"

Wang's face changed slightly, just now he talked about the big belly who didn't get married, why did he then ask about his daughter? Wang sneered, "This kind of thing doesn't come just out of nowhere, Shuyuan is young, and she has just entered the door, so she is in a hurry." It's Mrs. Chen, but I heard that your Lord Chen has taken another concubine, why do you always let him come here, how many concubines are there? ”

The talkative Mrs. Chen directly darkened her face, and a few ladies next to her quickly diverted the topic, and after chatting for a while, they dispersed. Mrs. Chen, who was taken to the side, snorted coldly, "What are you proud of?" Who doesn't know that Yu Wenyi sleeps in the Qinglou every day, and how good a man her daughter marries. If it was really so good, people would have married Tong Yuqing who kissed the doll a long time ago, where would it be her turn to Xu Shuyuan. ”

Mrs. Yu handed over the affairs of the ladies to Xu Shuyuan, so that she could take good care of the ladies and ladies. Xu Shuyuan noticed this side early in the morning, and specially came around at this time, thinking that she could comfort Mrs. Chen, but she didn't expect to hear these words.

Xu Shuyuan gritted her teeth with hatred, and secretly remembered Mrs. Chen's face in her heart.

A family came over from the front yard, saying that the imperial court's decree had come down, and Mrs. Yu was going to go to the front to receive the decree.

Some ladies know it, but some haven't heard of it yet, but all of the people present except for one or two can look at their faces, and after listening to the words of the family, they even praised Mrs. Yu repeatedly. Old Mrs. Yu had just walked out of the garden, and her eyes naturally swept to a certain place, so she asked about the courtyard over there.

The family who came to deliver the message pondered twice, and suddenly said, "Last night, the slave seemed to see Tong Yuqing. ”
