The rumored second master lived in the most remote part of the Sumu Mansion, and he needed to go around a large lake to see the small courtyard.

There were two mothers-in-law standing at the door, and when they saw Ji Wuhuan coming, they hurriedly saluted: "Lord, the lord hasn't woken up yet." ”

Hearing them say this, Shen Qing knew that Ji Wuhuan should have come here often.

"Well, I'll wait in the courtyard, and when the old man wakes up, tell him that I'll bring the princess to see me." Ji Wuhuan said.

The mother-in-law raised her eyes and looked at Shen Qing who was standing on the side, bowed slightly, turned her head and retreated.

Ji Wuhuan took the opportunity to take Shen Qing's hand and said, "Father is not in good health and has a big temper, if you say something for a while, don't take it to heart." ”

Shen Qing bowed slightly, thinking that this second master should have known about Ji Wuhuan's biological mother back then, but whether Ji Wuhuan was from him or not, he should know in his heart.

Entering the courtyard, Ji Wuhuan led her into a plum forest, which had an octagonal pavilion with a charcoal brazier in the pavilion.

The one who came to talk was the aunt Feng who had been waiting for the second master, Feng had light makeup on his face and bright clothes on his body, which was not at all different from what Shen Qing thought, wearing plain clothes with no face to the sky.

"The concubine Feng has seen the princess and the prince." Feng stepped forward and saluted with a smile, there were many wrinkles at the corners of her eyes when she laughed, but her delicate makeup made her still look charming.

"Auntie, get up." Ji Wuhuan had a good attitude towards her: "How is my father's illness recently?" ”

Feng sighed lightly and said, "It's still the same." After speaking, he paused, and then asked: "I haven't been to the front for a long time, Xiujie, this kid often comes to serve his father, you know, the master's temper, when he sees anyone, he will either beat or scold, but it is rare to Xiujie, and he is not annoyed or angry." But it's spring soon, and the spring exam will be held at that time, and the prince will definitely give more guidance. ”

Shen Qing's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he turned his head to look at Ji Wuhuan. Where is Yuan Xiujie like what Feng said in his mouth, he is flamboyant, hooked up with Ji Wuhuan's aunts all day long, and killed Aunt Bai Zhi.

Ji Wuhuan's expression seemed to be very calm, and he only said: "Mrs. Xiao, who will be one of the chief examiners next year, is my old friend, and I will send Xiu Jie to his home to study for a few days at that time." As for how to create it, it is up to him. ”

He didn't tell Feng about Yuan Xiujie's unbearable things, in Shen Qing's opinion, either he was too lazy to mention it, as long as Feng could take care of the second master, he could not care about the rest.

While a few people were talking, Yahuan came over again and said, "The master is awake." ”

Shen Qing looked at Feng's family, and before she finished speaking, a maid came over, which seemed to be too much of a coincidence.

"The yard is full of mothers-in-law? Isn't it too much to serve? When Shen Qing left, he asked as if unintentionally.

Feng was a little wary of Shen Qing, and said that the new princess was not only ruthless, but also quick-witted, and when she asked, she said, "Most of them are female dependents, but there are also small servants, but they are all in the miscellaneous room, not here." ”

Seeing her answer like this, Shen Qing didn't ask much, but just followed Ji Wuhuan all the way.

She didn't know what Ji Wuhuan did with Sang Rou and Aunt Lan last night, but he must not have disposed of Yuan Xiujie. This person, looking cold-faced, is actually hot-hearted, he always disguises himself as a fierce appearance that is difficult for anyone to approach, for fear of exposing the softness of his heart.

Thinking like this, Shen Qing simply looked up at his cold but perfect side face, and couldn't help laughing.

Ji Wuhuan felt Shen Qing's eyes, raised her eyebrows slightly, turned her head to look at her smiling appearance, and couldn't help but smile at the corners of her mouth.

It was also morning, it was as warm as spring, but Xuanyuan felt like falling into an ice cellar.

Yuan Song suddenly came to this trick and let him stay in Dawei forever after marrying the tenth princess, which is equivalent to forever cutting off his back road.

"Proton, what to do? Now that the people of the Nanzhao Mission knew the news, they directly sent a letter back, and I believe that the king of Dongyang County must also know about this matter soon. The squire said on the side.

Xuanyuan Li sat in the first seat, his face gloomy: "Hasn't the county lord found it yet?" ”

The attendant shook his head slightly: "No news." However, some people said that yesterday on the mountain it seemed that they saw someone similar to the county lord, and with her, there was also a man who vomited blood. ”

"The man who vomited blood......" Xuanyuan Li frowned: "Tell me to go down, let people go to the pharmacy to keep an eye on it, and once they find it, they will return immediately." ”

"Don't you have to bring it back immediately?" The attendant was puzzled.

The corners of Xuanyuan's mouth raised: "No." If that person is Ji Rui, you still have to help him. ”

The attendant was even more puzzled, but he heard Xuanyuan leave: "Help the county lord fall in love with him." "As long as Zhang Xiaofang falls in love with Xuanyuan Li, then she can use it for herself, because only in her own hands can she have the medicine that can save Ji Rui!

The attendant responded: "My subordinates understand." ”

"Well, also, don't let the rest of Nanzhao find them." Xuanyuan said again.

"Yes. The ten princesses are here......"

"Don't stay, let's do it." Xuanyuan's eyes were cold, since the help has become an obstacle, it can only be removed!

When he said this, he couldn't help but think of Mei Yunge, Shen Qing, and the slaughter.

He seemed to be able to see Shen Qing's indifferent eyes when he looked at him.

"Master, what's wrong?" Seeing that his expression was wrong, the attendant hurriedly asked.

Xuanyuan Li waved his hand: "It's okay, you can ask someone to investigate, what happened to Liu Qing and Yuanshuang yesterday, and see who set the fire." ”

"Yes." The attendant hesitated slightly, and then said, "We are afraid that the people of the Solemn Mansion have been exposed a lot. As soon as Fang Rui died, Ji Wuhuan was afraid that he would also find us along this line, not to mention that there was a Shen Pavilion Lord by his side. ”

"What do you mean?" Xuanyuanli's voice suddenly became colder, and with the sound of the cold wind whimpering outside the house, his originally warm face became full of frost at this moment.

The attendant gritted his teeth, but still said: "When the subordinates want, if she doesn't get rid of it, we will only sacrifice more people......"

"Alright." Xuanyuan interrupted him violently, but he was always a person who wanted to climb to a higher position, and he would not interrupt his path because of his children's personal affairs.

The attendant was frightened and hurriedly lowered his head: "Master, my subordinates dare to say a word, she came with the intention of killing you, if you let her go, I am afraid that ......"

"I know." Xuanyuan Li's face was tense, and a pair of gentle eyes seemed to have sharp blades, and he looked fiercely at the depressed scene outside the house: "Tell me to go down, after finding out her identity, don't hand it over to me, just present it directly to the emperor, this time, it's best to drag Ji Wuhuan into the water!" ”

"Yes!"

Liu Qing didn't expect at this moment that the fire on the awning boat yesterday was deliberately caused by someone, and at this moment he had been kneeling outside the house for a day and a night, and he was already frozen and stiff.

Mrs. Liu cried all night, but Lord Liu didn't have the slightest idea of letting Liu Qing get up. When he thought of the things that spread all over the city, and when he thought of the anger that Yuan Song was angry when he came to find him, he was also very angry.

"Master, if this continues, Qing'er will freeze to death." Mrs. Liu cried at the door of Lord Liu's study.

Liu Da was so angry that his hands holding the ink pen trembled, looked at his wife and children, and said angrily: "You are still used to him, look at what ridiculous things he has done!" ”

"Master, where can you blame Qing'er, it's clear that Miss Yuan is shameless and has to seduce my Qing'er. And I heard Qing'er say that this trip to the lake was also invited by Yuanshuang to go out. Mrs. Liu hated Yuanshuang in her heart.

Liu Qing listened, and he couldn't wait to strangle the **** to death: "Yes, Dad, that Yuanshuang has long been unclear with people, so I won't marry such broken shoes." He said tremblingly, so angry that Lord Liu was in a hurry, and he lifted the inkstone and slammed it on his head.

Liu Qing was smashed so that his head was bleeding, his eyes were wide, and he fainted, which caused Mrs. Liu to wail again.

Lord Liu had a headache, so he hurriedly asked someone to carry Liu Qing in, and asked someone to ask for a doctor, so he went out and got into the carriage.

"Master, where are we going?" The little guy asked.

Lord Liu looked at the file in his hand and sighed lightly: "Go to the Sumu Mansion and look for Lord Yuan." ”

Yuan Shuang knew that her marriage was a foregone conclusion, thinking of the crippled and greedy Liu Qing, she was so hated that tears flowed, and after a night, her eyes had already swollen into peaches, and she didn't have the heart to care about Shen Qing Yuan Ning'er, and she was thinking about her own affairs.

"Forsythia." Yuan Shuang called.

Forsythia hurriedly walked in, and the wound on her face was not healed: "What does Miss command?" "Forsythia's attitude is not good, now Yuanshuang is going to marry Jingzhao Mansion, although it is not too down, but her reputation has been ruined, and she knows what virtue it is to marry.

Seeing Forsythia like this, Yuan Shuang was so angry that he wanted to come forward to do it again, but he heard Forsythia say directly: "Miss, there are only a few slaves and maids who married with you, even if you want to change it now, the old lady may not have time to take care of you, you better stop." ”

"You!" Where is Yuan Shuang willing to swallow this breath, Forsythia also hated it very much, stepped forward and pushed her, and only after pushing did she know that she was afraid, she trembled and took a few steps back, and said busily: "If you have time, you might as well think about how to take the eldest lady back, when she was crazy, she was still talking about you." ”

Forsythia was about to leave after saying this, but Yuanshuang heard that something was wrong: "How do you know what my mother was thinking when she was crazy?" ”

Forsythia was shocked, her face turned a little pale, and she hurriedly said: "Then how can you not know, the eldest lady is just your daughter, don't you want to think about anyone?" After that, her feet were already moving out, looking at Yuan Shuang's suspicious eyes, she hurriedly said: "The slave maid went to count the dowry for you, I heard that Lord Liu in the front yard is here, maybe he came to discuss the marriage date." With that, he turned around and ran.

When Yuan Shuang heard that Lord Liu was coming, she didn't have time to think about Forsythia's flaws. After all, the case of Little Bean Sprouts has not yet been concluded, and the two people in prison may confess when they hear that the other people are dead, so they will confess, so ......

"No, I'm going to see my father right away!" She got up and was about to go out, but was stopped by the mother-in-law at the door: "Miss, the master has ordered, you have to ground now......"

"No, I must see Lord Liu! Otherwise......" she looked around, "or I'll die for you!" "Everyone knows Lord Liu's upright temperament, if he finds out that the murderer behind the scenes is himself, plus Princess Huainan will put pressure on him......

Yuan Shuang didn't dare to think about it anymore, seeing that the mother-in-law began to hesitate, she directly pushed them away and quickly ran out.

When Shen Qing heard the news of forsythia, it was Mama Yang who came in a hurry, saying that forsythia might be exposed.

At this time, the second master just smashed the medicine bowl at Ji Wuhuan: "Get out, get out of here!" If you want to move, I won't move if I die! ”

Shen Qing looked at Ji Wuhuan with a calm face but didn't say a word, and couldn't help but grasp his hand tighter.

Ji Wuhuan probably felt the temperature of her palm, and raised her eyes to look at the second master: "Father, I'll come to see you later." After that, he led Shen Qing out together, and let the second master still scold.

Shen Qing didn't expect this second master to be like this no matter what, she followed Ji Wuhuan all the way out, and didn't say anything all the way until she returned to the Jade Courtyard.

"Scared?" Ji Wuhuan suddenly asked.

Shen Qing poured him a cup of hot tea and said, "I've seen more fierce ones, such as the murderous prince." ”

When Ji Wuhuan heard this, he turned his head to look at her, and said, "I'll deal with some things and come back later." ”

Shen Qing chuckled: "Okay." ”

Ji Wuhuan raised his hand and shrank it, but he still stretched it out, put it on her forehead, and rubbed it gently: "It's cold outside, you have to add clothes when you go out, and hold the stove." ”

"Hmm." Shen Qing actually didn't mind the insults of the second master at all, for her, as long as it wasn't someone she cared about, it didn't matter how she looked at her.

Ji Wuhuan saw her obedient appearance, and her heart seemed to be a little sad. Now, he seems to be able to better understand what it means to have a wife, and what more can a husband ask for.

Before Ji Wuhuan left, Mama Yang hurriedly came in: "Princess, what to do with Forsythia?" ”

"Did Mama tell her to let her go?" Shen Qing said.

Mama Yang bowed: "But this girl doesn't know what to think, so she refuses to leave." I asked again when she came today, but she seemed to have other plans and still refused to leave. ”

Su Qiu never came in from outside, and said, "Princess, Lord Liu is here, and the eldest lady is already making trouble." ”

When Shen Qing heard this, she thought of Forsythia: "She has a lot of thoughts, and she is wild, if she is not mistaken, she wants to marry with Yuanshuang to the Liu family, and then seek a 'wealth'." ”

Most of the married Yahuan has the meaning of crawling on the aunt's bed, which can get rid of the identity of the Yahuan and become an aunt who enjoys glory and wealth, and if she can give birth to a son, the wealth she earns is more.

Shen Qing looked at Su Qiu and said, "You go and get a hundred taels of silver." ”

Mama Yang was puzzled: "Is the princess planning to send her away with silver?" ”

Shen Qing shook her head slightly: "Forsythia, this girl, I'm afraid that one hundred taels is not enough, and this one hundred taels is not for her." ”

"Then you are ......" Mama Yang was even more puzzled.

Shen Qing smiled lightly: "This silver is for Mama." Mama took this silver and went to do the first seven of the little bean sprouts, the more grand the better, and it was best for everyone in the Jade Courtyard to know. ”

Mama Yang suddenly understood Shen Qing's thoughts: "You want to use this to divert the attention of the eldest lady?" ”

"Hmm. Now she is desperate to see Lord Liu, but I'm afraid it's because of this matter. If Lord Liu really finds out that the real culprit is her, it is a question whether the Liu family is willing to accept her, and she can't still have the leisure to take care of this matter. As for forsythia, she won't say it unless she wants to break the net, and she has no evidence in her hands that can implicate us. Not to mention that at this moment, the eldest uncle's consciousness should also begin to slowly regain consciousness, and the solemn mansion is now in an eventful season, and no one will make a big fuss anymore, continue to investigate. ”

When Mama Yang heard this, she was relieved and hurriedly went out to find forsythia.

Forsythia was talking to someone in the porter at the moment, and when he talked about the happy place, he said directly: "You are all lowly people." ”

"Yo, you're not?" A mother-in-law sarcastically said.

Forsythia looked at them disdainfully: "Sooner or later, I won't." "She won't be a girl who can be beaten and scolded by anyone for the rest of her life. She raised her hand and stroked the scars on her face, and snorted coldly, what about the eldest lady, she didn't do a cheap thing.

When Mama Yang heard her words outside, her brows furrowed, and she entered the house to look at her: "The princess has orders." ”

When Forsythia heard this, he hurriedly threw the melon seeds in his hand and came out with her.

"What did the princess say?"

Mama Yang stared at her coldly: "I told you a long time ago, never come to the Jade Courtyard without permission, you came over this time, you have violated the princess's orders." ”

Forsythia was not afraid, but felt that he had pinched the handle of the princess in his hand, but smiled: "Aren't I worried about implicating the princess." ”

Mama Yang looked at her as if she was threatening, and said coldly: "This time, the eldest lady will not pursue you, you are at ease, but I have to remind you, who the princess is, you should know very well in your heart." There will be no less reward, but those who dare to play tricks will be able to take their lives. ”

Forsythia frowned slightly: "The princess really said that?" ”

Mama Yang took out ten taels of silver from her arms and gave it to her: "The princess knows what your plans are, after going to Liu's house this time, she finally forgot about the princess, otherwise, the wealth you want to seek, I'm afraid you won't be able to get it." With that, he turned around and walked away.

Forsythia thought about Fang Cai's words, shuddered inexplicably, looked at the wind and snow, clenched the ten taels of silver in his hand, gritted his teeth and looked at the jade courtyard, and then turned his head and left.

In the room, Su Qiu planted three or two winter flowers on the side and asked, "Why didn't the princess dispose of her directly?" This girl slave looks at it, not a scheming person. ”

Shen Qing smiled faintly: "She has a bad heart, most of them will be used on Yuan Shuang, even if she says it one day, I am afraid that she is no longer a princess, why bother with an extra life." ”

When Su Qiu heard this, he pondered for a moment before he worried: "If your identity is really revealed by them, what will you do?" ”

"When Di Yun's Meiyun Pavilion is built, he will naturally not be afraid. Before they break out, my revenge should be avenged, and it doesn't matter. Shen Qing said lightly, this was also something she had thought about early in the morning.

"What about the prince?" Su Qiu continued to ask, but obviously saw Shen Qing's hand playing with the flower branch and paused slightly.

Seeing this, Su Qiu didn't say more, and Shen Qing didn't speak again.

When Xia Rao came back, she had snow on her shoulders.

She patted the snow clean, moved a small stool and sat down by the charcoal brazier, and then held a cup of hot tea, before she smiled: "After the skill is wasted, I am so afraid of the cold." ”

"You've lost too much blood." Su Qiu smiled faintly.

Xia Rao smiled, and did not look angry. At the beginning of the war, it had already become a tacit understanding between them.

"Princess, I followed the girl named Fangcao for a day, and found that she was not a little girl." Xia Rao said.

"How?"

That night, she walked through the back corner door that you deliberately set aside, and saw three mothers-in-law, namely the second steward of the old lady's side, the second steward of the eldest lord's room, and an attendant in the east courtyard. I couldn't keep up with three people alone, so I followed the attendant in our East Courtyard for a day, and when I saw him go out, I didn't go to see Xuanyuan Li, but instead went to see Fang Rui's mother's house, that is, the second-grade waiter Yan's family. And the attendant spoke to Fangcao respectfully, in my opinion, that Fangcao is the biggest spy next to Aunt Fangrui, and he is also the leader of all the spies. ”

After listening to this, Shen Qing couldn't help but think of the little girl she saw yesterday who looked thin and a little hasty, and raised her eyebrows slightly: "It's rare that they can train someone with such a young age and such a strong ability." ”

Su Qiu looked at her with a helpless smile: "Are you still envious?" ”

"With you here, I envy what they do." Shen Qingwan made the two of them laugh too.

Xia Rao said again: "And the mother horse who won yesterday, she didn't make a move, and she bit her tongue and committed suicide." ”

Shen Qing bowed slightly: "Originally, I didn't expect her to say anything, they thought that our target was Ma Pozi, so Fangcao would naturally relax her guard." However, according to the current situation, the Yan family, the second-grade waiter, is also in collusion with Xuanyuan. ”

"This Yan Shilang, Mei Yunge has investigated before, and only said that he seems to have a very close relationship with the queen, I think, Xuanyuan Li, the queen and the people in the capital should all be in the same group." Xia Rao guessed.

Shen Qing bowed slightly, when he followed Xuanyuan, he didn't say anything to himself, the only thing he believed in from beginning to end was himself.

Shen Qing suddenly remembered what the queen said before about to return to Beijing's Dingguo Mansion's family, and remembered that she had wanted to let herself enter the palace, and said: "The people who went to check the Dingguo Mansion have returned to Beijing, if they have already returned to Beijing and handed over the worship post, it is almost time for us to enter the palace to take a look." "Go and see the legendary eldest prince, and the ten princesses who will die soon.

Su Qiu and Xia Rao glanced at each other, and they all responded.

At noon, Shen Qing looked at the people who came to invite her in Yuansong Courtyard, and knew that Lord Liu must have found out that the person who killed the little bean sprouts was Yuan Shuang.

"Wait a minute, I'll go change my clothes." Shen Qing said to him.

The mother-in-law who came seemed very anxious: "You are very good, princess, you should go over closely......" The mother-in-law said anxiously.

Shen Qing was not in a hurry: "I am the princess of Huainan, how can I go out casually." After that, Xia Rao and Su Qiu were recruited: "Change clothes." ”

Seeing this, the mother-in-law jumped to her feet in a hurry, and remembered the old man's instructions when she remembered, so she almost knelt down.

After waiting for a full stick of incense, Shen Qing changed his clothes and came out.

"Let's go." Shen Qing walked out slowly, and the mother-in-law just secretly prayed that Yuan Shuang's marriage had not been pushed away, otherwise she would lose a layer of skin if she didn't lose her life.
