"The old slave has to start from Yiyun Temple, when a masked woman stopped Mrs. Tai, eagerly asked about the condition of the princess, when I heard that the princess was still unconscious, the woman said that she wanted to introduce the abbot of Yiyun Temple for Mrs. Tai, and asked the abbot to give the princess a hexagram to see what was going on, but I didn't expect the abbot's hexagram to say that the princess was not sick, but someone used witch Gu to harm the princess, Mrs. Tai asked the abbot if he could see the direction of the person who used the witch Gu, and the abbot hesitated, nodded in agreement, but he didn't expect that the direction pointed out by the abbot happened to be Aunt Qiao's courtyard. Mama Xu said and glanced at Xue Renjie cautiously, but saw that he was listening expressionlessly from beginning to end, while Mrs. Tai's face was very solemn, obviously afraid that what she was worried about would happen.

Xue Xulin didn't notice that the atmosphere in the room was a little delicate, he just widened his eyes and said in surprise:

"Could it be that Aunt Qiao is trying to harm my fourth sister-in-law?"

Because Qiao Wanzhen's parents were worried about their woman's reputation at that time, and they were also worried that their daughter was pregnant with her brother's child, but the matter of marrying her younger brother was not disgraceful, so the fewer people who asked to know about this matter at the beginning, the better. After thinking about it for a long time and discussing it with the old prince, Mrs. Tai also felt that this was the best protection for Qiao Wanzhen and the child, so she did not tell Xue Xulin, who was not very old at the time, that Brother Zu'er was not Xue Renjie's son. As for the matter of Green Lotus shouting about Zu Ge'er's life experience, due to Mrs. Tai's majestic suppression, there was no news about Zu Ge'er's life experience, so Xue Xulin was able to say the doubts in his heart so naturally.

And Mrs. Tai was afraid of this, she looked at her fourth son deeply. Then he suddenly scolded his youngest son and said:

"Things haven't been figured out, what are you talking nonsense here?!"

Xue Xulin didn't know his mother's worries, he just expressed his opinion, but he was scolded by his mother for some reason, so he was naturally unconvinced and retorted:

"Where do I have nonsense, is this unclear thing? The abbot of Yiyun Temple calculated the location of the person who wanted to harm my fourth sister-in-law, and this hurtful puppet. He raised his hand and pointed to the puppet that Mama Xu was holding. said: "I believe it must have been turned out of Aunt Qiao's yard, this matter is obvious, what else needs to be said, it must be Aunt Qiao's ......"

"Smack--" Mrs. Tai slapped the kang table next to her and scolded angrily: "You shut up for me!" ”

Xue Xulin was so old and was scolded by his mother so angrily for the first time, so he was naturally stunned, and he didn't understand why he was just saying his guess by the way, why it caused such a big reaction from his mother.

Mrs. Tai didn't care about her youngest son's injured and dazed appearance, but looked directly at her fourth son with a hint of scrutiny, and said:

"Fourth. Although the puppet was found in Wanzhen's yard, it doesn't mean that Wanzhen made it. If you think about it, Wanzhen doesn't need to harm Yun girl, obviously someone is trying to frame Wanzhen, don't doubt Wanzhen because of this. ”

Xue Renjie slowly raised his head, looked at his wife, but the words he wanted to say choked in his throat, and only said after a while:

"Mother, you don't have to worry. The merits will be clear when the truth is ascertained, and as for whether it was Qiao's doing, I don't doubt it. But it won't be investigated because Qiao's family is involved, since someone wants to harm Lingyun, naturally this person can't be tolerated. ”

Mrs. Tai sighed in her heart, closed her eyes in pain, and thought sadly in her heart: It seems that her son still suspects Wanzhen.

Although Mrs. Tai knew in her heart, she still didn't want her fourth son to reject Qiao Wanzhen, which was directly related to the fate of her grandson, so she still insisted on protecting Qiao Wanzhen with a wry smile, and insisted on her own opinion:

"It's natural to investigate, but you shouldn't be too abrupt, after all, Wanzhen has no motive to harm Yun girl, this matter, believe me even if you don't say it, you can understand! Is it? As she spoke, she looked at her fourth son eagerly, hoping to get his assurance.

Xue Renjie didn't know how, and he didn't want to doubt Qiao's who had dedicated his life to his second brother. However, when it came to his wife, when he saw his younger brother coming to him with a puppet, he felt that something was wrong, and when he heard Mama Xu tell the truth of the matter, in addition to shock, he was only left with pity for his wife, apologies and hatred for the person who harmed others.

Xue Renjie remembered the three days and three nights when Xie Lingyun was unconscious, he was still cold, and now he heard that someone actually used such a vicious method to harm Xie Lingyun, how could he endure this breath, and he could still deal calmly in the face of the persecution of bad people in the court, but once he encountered his beloved who was about to be threatened by his life, how could he be calm, and the anger in his heart was incomprehensible to others.

However, when he saw the eyes of his gray-haired old mother with a hint of sadness, how could he harden his heart and say something against the old man? And he didn't want to deceive his old mother in his heart, so he could only say perfunctorily:

"Mother, my son assures you that my son will not suspect anyone until he finds out the truth of the matter." As for whether he would secretly check Qiao Wanzhen, he didn't guarantee anything.

Mrs. Tai was already very relieved to hear her son say this, how could she embarrass her son, she was full of guilt for her fourth son, so she nodded and said:

"Okay, okay, since that's the case, my mother will rest assured, my mother is old in this matter, and I don't plan to ask about it, so I'll leave it to you to find out, as long as you remember, no matter what the result is, you have to worry about your hard-working second brother in the end." At the mention of her son who died young, Mrs. Tai felt a faint tingling feeling in her heart, and her eyes, which had already been dry, were filled with tears.

"Mother?" Xue Xulin was confused, and he said inexplicably: "This is talking about Qiao's family, why did you suddenly mention that my second brother is here." This doesn't make sense, someone wants to harm my fourth sister-in-law, is it possible that after my fourth brother finds out the truth, he still has to worry about my second brother when he wants to deal with that bad person? Saying that, he muttered, "Besides, what does this matter to my second brother?" He felt that his mother was so strange that she not only scolded him inexplicably, but also said such things that did not match the preface.

"You ......" Mrs. Tai was originally very sad, but her heart was furious by her son's words. Only then did she remember the most critical point of the matter, that is, the little son in front of her had ruined everything she had carefully concealed, and it made her feel guilty in front of her fourth son again.

If it weren't for the fact that her unruly son found the puppet buried by Mama Xu, and quietly took Mama Xu's fire fold with a big heart, how could her four sons know these things, and ...... Thinking of this, Mrs. Tai glanced at the puppet that was still in Mama Xu's hand, and secretly said angrily: How could this harmful puppet appear in front of her again.

The more Mrs. Tai thought about it, the more angry she became, naturally, the words she said would not be good, she said angrily: "There is your business everywhere." It's so early in the morning, you don't go to the yamen. What are you rubbing with me?! ”

Xue Xulin touched his nose, he was not stupid, he could naturally feel that his mother was blaming himself for being troublesome and stabbing things in front of his fourth brother. But how did he know that his mother would have such a reaction, and when he saw Mama Xu acting in the middle of the night, he was unusual, in order to show himself in front of his fourth brother, in order to prove that he is not a child who will never grow up, and will always rely on the protection of his fourth brother. What's more, it was found that Mama Xu buried a puppet. Fearing that someone was going to do bad to his mother, he found his fourth brother as soon as possible and gave the thing directly to his fourth brother. It would have been well-intentioned. Who would have thought that it would be involved in these things.

However, although Xue Xulin felt the anger from his mother, he did not regret doing so, but said with a heartfelt voice:

"Mother, you don't want to stare at me, in fact, this matter, on the surface, is just as simple as someone wanting to harm my fourth sister-in-law, but if you think about it carefully, the most hated thing in the saint today is that there is a witch Gu thing, if someone hadn't given a witch to the imperial concubine, the imperial concubine almost lost her life, how could the emperor be annoyed to this point, and repeated again and again, if you find out who uses witchcraft to harm people, when the door is beheaded, mother, you have always thought about it, this is no longer the civil strife in our back house, if it is discovered by someone with a heart, Aren't we going to be wiped out? ”

Mrs. Tai never thought about it, otherwise she would not have just let Mama Xu quietly investigate this matter, she held her forehead and said weakly:

"I didn't know."

"If you know, what are you hiding?" Xue Xulin said puzzledly: "Since someone not only wants to harm my fourth sister-in-law, but also wants to harm the people up and down our entire mansion, no matter who it is, it must be found out, Prince Jian's Mansion must not leave such a scourge!" In the last sentence, he said righteous words, and he couldn't help but let the pensive Xue Renjie glance at him, a trace of relief flashed in his eyes, and he sighed in his heart that his younger brother had also grown up.

Mrs. Tai naturally knew the seriousness of the matter, and in the end, in desperation, she could only pray that everything would be smooth and that nothing she was worried about would happen, as for the matter of investigating the murderer, she really didn't want to interfere.

Seeing this, Xue Renjie took the puppet in Mama Xu's hand, and said a word of assurance to his mother very vaguely, and then went back to the East Courtyard directly, and nodded appropriately to Xue Xulin's request to chase him out to find out the truth together, and he agreed.

Xue Xulin left happily, Xue Renjie gave the puppet to Mo Yu, asked him to take it back to the outer study and hide it properly, and he went straight back to the east courtyard.

Xie Lingyun, who had just recovered from her injuries, was sitting on the bed at this time, holding a brocade box in her hand, and the things in the brocade box were impressive......
