In the main house in the small courtyard of Willow Alley, a young woman sits in front of a mirror.

"Lady, you're all set." Behind him, his mother's voice came.

"Okay." After a long time, the woman seemed to have just come back to her senses, and answered in a low voice, with some tail notes in her voice, although there was only one word, it still gave people an endless feeling of tenderness and tactfulness.

The young woman got up slowly, and gracefully took the black cloak handed by her mother, who was waiting beside her, and put it on her head.

In the corner of the room there is a beautifully carved cradle, the woman walked to the cradle, leaned over slightly and put her hands on the edge of the cradle, and looked at the child who was sleeping soundly in the cradle for a long time, and finally slowly bent down, gently picked up the child, and murmured: "Xiang'er, ......my mother will take you to see your uncle."

The child who was picked up by the woman still slept soundly, and was unaware of the outside world.

......

Outside the small courtyard, the secret whistle of King An's Mansion squatted on a large tree with lush foliage across the street.

......The slight sound of the door opening sounded in the dark night, and a figure dressed as a small servant poked his head out to look around, then retracted, and the half-open door was finally fully opened.

A black carriage pulled out of the courtyard and quickly disappeared at the mouth of the alley.

The figure hidden in the tree glanced at the departing carriage, only a silent sneer, unmoved.

Sure enough, after about a cup of tea, another carriage drove out more cautiously from the corner gate of the small courtyard.

The secret whistle of King An's Mansion took a breath and followed quietly.

The carriage circled for a long time in the middle of the night, and finally stopped at the door of a shop on East Street......

A woman who looked like a housekeeper's mother got out of the carriage first, looked around the dark and silent street, and then lifted the curtain and reached out to help the woman inside get out of the carriage.

The woman's body is light and her posture is slender, even if it is just her back in the dark, she looks moving.

The housekeeper's mother stepped forward and gently knocked on the closed door......

The secret whistle of King An's Mansion, who was following behind, withdrew his gaze from looking at the woman's back, and looked up at the plaque hanging on the shop.

......

No one knew that when the secret post of King An's Mansion went to chase the second carriage, the third carriage that came out of the small courtyard quickly disappeared into the night.

Qiu Ruoshui held the child and Mother Wan and sat in the carriage that was not too spacious, sitting straight, looking tense, and even holding the child's hand trembling slightly.

About a quarter of an hour later, the carriage drove into the back door of a spacious house and quietly drove into the backyard.

After entering the yard, Xiaoru greeted her: "Lady, you can get off." ”

Qiu Ruoshui in the carriage suddenly raised her head, and her body trembled uncontrollably......

"Lady." Mother Wan reached out to support her and nodded at her.

......

Gu An in the room stood by the window, and the little scholar waited outside the room, glancing at the courtyard gate from time to time.

Finally saw Xiaoru leading Qiu Ruoshui in, and she didn't care about greeting her, so she hurriedly ran back to the room and said to Gu An: "Sir, the lady is here." ”

Gu An was slightly stunned, slowly turned his head, and looked in the direction of the little scholar.

The little scholar hurried over to help him to the door.

Qiu Ruoshui looked at the figure that the little scholar helped out, his figure looked much thinner than before, there was tiredness on his gentle face that could not be hidden, and his facial features still looked handsome and elegant, but there was no sparkle in the bright eyes that were always full of gentle smiles in the past......

He still had a gentle smile on his face, the most familiar smile she had, but even the most familiar smile seemed to be a little different now. She watched him walk slowly into the yard, it was really slow, every step he took was cautious, she didn't know how much time and courage it took him to get to where he was today, she just stood stiff in the middle of the yard, looking at him with astringent eyes, feeling as if her legs were weighing a thousand gold.

The tears finally couldn't help but fall, and this time it was as if the floodgates had been opened, and she bit her lips tightly to prevent herself from crying.

The little scholar helped Gu An to the courtyard, and stopped a few steps away from Qiu Ruoshui.

"Sister!" Gu An looked ahead, his eyes were not focused, and he opened his mouth with some hesitation.

"Brother-" Qiu Ruoshui handed over the child in her hand to Mother Wan on the side, took a few steps forward and hugged Gu An, crying like a child uncontrollably.

"I'm sorry...... I'm sorry...... Brother...... I'm sorry......" Qiu Ruoshui muttered the words "sorry" over and over again......

Gu Anxin was miscellaneous, sighed and patted her back: "It's okay, it's okay...... It's all gone......"

......

"Brother, this is your little nephew, look at ......" Qiu Ruoshui cried in Gu An's arms for a long time before she stopped crying, raised her head from his arms, and took the child from Mother Wan's arms and sent it to Gu An.

"Okay, good ......" Gu An followed her voice and reached out.

"Here, brother touch and see......" Qiu Ruoshui handed the child to Gu An's hand, took one of his hands and put it on the child's face.

Gu An gently stroked the child's face, his face was full of gentleness and caution, and Qiu Ruoshui turned his head away with red eyes.

"Come, let my uncle hug me." Gu An smiled and took the child from Qiu Ruo's sailor.

"What's the child's name?" Gu An gently patted the child's back, looked up and asked, the smile on his face looked peaceful and gentle.

"Li Xiang." Qiu Ruoshui said softly.

"Li Xiang......" Gu An chewed on the name, and continued: "Li Xiang, good, good, good." Flying high and soaring, Cheng Qing Qi and Yin and Yang ......"

"Brother Zixian said that if we give birth to a boy, we will be named Xiang, and if we give birth to a girl, we will be called Zhen." Qiu Ruoshui looked at the child in Gu An's arms, and her voice was low.

......

Gu An was silent.

"Have you thought it all through?" After a while, Gu An stopped patting the child's back and asked hesitantly.

"My sister has thought about it, this is the only thing my sister can do, and it is what my sister has to do." Qiu Ruoshui raised her head, her voice was a little cold and unreal, and her eyes were resolute.

"In the future, Xiang'er will be taken care of by Brother Lao."

"Good. The elder brother will take Xiang'er back to Qizhou and let Xiang'er recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors. He sighed softly, and it seemed to contain endless unspeakable meanings.

......

After Qiu Ruoshui left Songshi Xuan, he went to the courtyard of Condensation.

Ning Shuang was waiting for her, and when she saw her come in, she hurriedly stood up.

"Sister Gu, please take a seat!"

Gu Peiyao looked at the girl in front of her who had only met once......

I remember the last night when she sneaked into her room with the maid, she really scared herself.

However, what surprised her even more was that she actually brought her brother's handwritten letter to her, and the two pages of the letter were full of records, all of which recorded her childhood memories that had long been dusted, and she could not believe her.

"My sister was separated from her parents and brother since she was a child, and later reunited with her family, and met Li Gongzi again. My sister must not have thought that she would harm her parents, brother and Li Gongzi's family because of this...... Now that my sister is staying with the enemy, let the children of the Li family recognize the thief as their father, presumably my sister must have her own plans. ”

"Ning Shuang empathizes with her sister's heart and wants revenge, but has my sister thought about what to do with the child? The only bone and blood of the Li family, my sister must be reluctant to let him be left outside. ”

"Ning Shuang came to my sister this time, in addition to helping my sister take revenge, she will also help her sister let her children recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors in a righteous manner!"

"Moreover, Mr. Gu will take care of the child himself, and my sister should rest assured."

......

The words that Ning Shuang said that day clearly echoed in Li Peiyao's mind, she knew so many things about her, but she said that she was willing to help her, she believed that she could really help her, so she chose the path she showed her......

"Sister, are you ready?" Frost asked softly, they didn't have much time, they didn't have time to go around the bend.

She found her, but it was because of Gu An, but what she was going to send her to now was a road of no return, she was not cold-blooded and ruthless, but since she chose to embark on this road, she was destined to step on blood, she would not sacrifice innocent people, and she would not force anyone to cooperate with her. However, this is their choice of each other, a deal that may not be entirely fair, but it is a voluntary one, and in this transaction, she must be cold-blooded.

"Hmmm! My sister just told me what to do. ”

She knew a lot about her, but she didn't know everything, it wasn't that she couldn't trust her, but she didn't dare to trust anyone until her child was successfully handed over to her brother.

She said that she would help herself avenge herself, but she knew that this matter would not be easy, she didn't dare to expect too much now, and only hoped to keep the bloodline of the Li family, so when she said that she could let the child recognize her ancestors and return to her ancestors, she was already moved.

......

Half an hour later, Xiaoru sent her out of the summer mansion.

When Qiu Ruoshui returned to Willow Hutong, Hanyu had not returned, and Qiu Ruoshui put his son back in the cradle.

In the evening, Qiu Ruoshui added some soothing food to her son's meal, which would not hurt the child, but could make the child sleep more deeply.

She sat under the lamp for about two quarters of an hour, and Hanyu entered the courtyard.

"How?" After Hanyu untied the black cloak that she wore when she went out and hung it up, she looked up and asked slowly.

"Hmmm! It's done. King An's men followed the slave maid to the door of the shop in the Marquis of Anyang's mansion, and then stayed there until the slave and maid came back again. ”

......

Qin Mosong went down to the yamen and walked around, and when he was about to return to the house, a small official in the yamen came over: "Your Highness, someone sent a letter over, saying that he would hand it over to you." ”

Qin Mosong glanced at the little official suspiciously: "Do you know who is the person who sent the letter?" ”

The little official shook his head and said, "It's a little beggar, the villain asked him, and said that someone gave him money last night and asked him to send the letter here today." ”

Qin Mosong glanced at the thick envelope in the hand of the little official and reached out to take it.

There was a small bump at the bottom of the envelope, which seemed to be something it.

Qin Mosong hesitated, opened the envelope, and a small black stone slipped out of it.

Picking up the small stone and looking at it carefully, Qin Mosong's face suddenly changed color, and his hand holding the stone tightened.

With a cold face, he took out two of the letters in the envelope and quickly glanced at them, Qin Moyu's face became even more ugly.

"What about the little beggar who delivered the letter?" Putting away the letter and the small stones, Qin Mosong asked in a cold voice.

The little official was startled and said nervously: "It's still inside, and the little one didn't dare to let him go." ”

......
