"Master, the water is ready, you can wash it. Mrs. Dinner said to let you stay a little longer and have it with her. ”

Tong Qi knocked on the door and walked in.

Huo Rong put away the marriage book and fingerprints.

He hadn't thought so far before he was sure of it. Now that it's confirmed, my thoughts are a little out of control.

Did she encounter anything before going to Qian's house?

And why did she have amnesia and not recognize him?

Tong Qi saw the marriage book and took two steps closer: "I have to go back to find Shen...... Pick out what happened back then? ”

After all, he was for her - Shen Changying had been gone for three years, and Huo Rong not only waited for her for three days and nights after she left, but also kept the marriage letter.

Even if he only did this for the promise that he would marry her, he thought that he should at least let Shen Changying know about it.

Huo Rong didn't seem to hear it, walked past the curtain without saying a word, stepped into the bathtub except for his clothes, and then closed his eyes in the mist.

Seeing this, Tong Qi, who swallowed his words, was about to withdraw silently, but suddenly a voice came from behind him: "No need." ”

Tong Qi turned around.

Huo Rong propped up his forehead in the water vapor, and looked at the mist in front of him with half-squinted eyes: "She doesn't owe me, why bother?" ”

Although there are still doubts about the affairs of the Qian family, the people of the Qian family who died in vain have also made him feel guilty and remorseful, and he has thought countless times that if he insisted on going by himself, then as long as he has no accidents, the Qian family will definitely not have an accident.

But without her, it is impossible to say whether he can evade the search and arrest of those people, and if he wants to find her because of the Qian family's affairs, he really can't do it.

That's it, if it's broken, it's broken, so why bother?

……

After eating a good meal at noon, Shaoqing and the others wiped their mouths and went back to the room to bathe and make up for sleep.

The women talked a lot when they got together, and as soon as Changying put down the dishes and chopsticks, the neighbors had already come to visit the door one after another, and a few young men also shouted that Changying had made a meritorious service and wanted to drink.

Changying was also happy in her heart, so she said to Wu's mother: "Go and make two sheep!" Isn't it still cold on this day? After a few more jars of wine, let's have a good meal tonight, and invite General Lin and General Li to come and get together!

"Also, remember to invite Miss Tan over, it's still early, go back and ask Zhou Liang to go to the nearby Zhuangzi to find hunters to see if there is any game, and if there is, buy two and come back to kill them!" If not, something else will be done! ”

After taking a good bath after the meal, Wu's mother came in with clean clothes.

"Look at how skinny you look! It's really not comparable to the original time - what do you want to eat? Go back and do it all the same! ”

Changying couldn't think of anything particularly gluttonous. After getting dressed, he sat under the window while combing his hair and asked Wu's mother about her homework.

Wu's mother said: "Except for some moths next door, there is nothing else." It's been these days, and no one is tired of being crooked in front of me, so I'm really not used to it. ”

Changying smiled: "From then on, I will take Mother Wu wherever I go, and I will be tired of you every day." ”

"If you dare to be affectionate, the slave and maid will follow the girl to enjoy happiness." Mother Wu smiled.

Changying swept his hair, and Zhengse said: "Although it was a little detour this time, the goal was finally achieved, and General Tan said that he would ask me for credit when he came back."

"But there is something that I didn't expect, Cheng Xiao inquired about my background, although it has not been made public, but he has to be escorted to Beijing when he turns around, so the news is likely to be leaked——"

When Wu's mother heard this, she immediately sat up straight: "Why didn't you kill him?" ”

"Can't be killed." Changying frowned, "I do have a chance, and he will die without even having to do it." But if he dies, the case will be closed.

And the collusion with the Zhenhai Gang lacks his most critical evidence, and the case is easy to be controlled and reformed.

"Again," she paused, "from this point of view, I don't want him to easily die to erase their sins of hurting the soldiers." He had to be convicted by the imperial court and executed in public to deter the rest of the moths who had not shown their faces. ”

In this case in her previous life, she believed that Du gradually got the account book and handed it over to the emperor, but it was not announced in the imperial court later, which may be the result of the prince and his relatives joining forces, or it may be that the emperor calmed things down out of some consideration, because Cheng Xiao was dead at that time.

But in this life, Cheng Xiao is not dead, Tan Shao led the troops to arrest the current situation, and under the eyes of everyone, it is impossible for this case to be concealed.

Although she didn't do anything when Du gradually pounced to stop Cheng Xiao from committing suicide, why didn't she want to kill him at that time?

"So you chose to keep him alive at the risk of being exposed by him?"

"I can only take risks."

Mother Wu sighed: "You have always only admitted death. ”

Changying smiled.

"Fortunately, it's not all out of the question." Mother Wu raised her head again.

"Yes." Chang Ying nodded, "After Cheng Xiao is escorted to Beijing, he will inevitably go to the heavenly prison first, and then be handed over to the three divisions for interrogation. In this process, I am not worried about the trial personnel, they must all be close ministers personally appointed by the emperor.

"But because of this, Cheng Xiao is a treacherous man, and he will definitely try his best to survive at that time, and he is most likely to ask someone to bring a message to Ling Yuan, sell him the news of my time in Huzhou, and let him save him."

Mother Wu's back stiffened: "As long as Master Hou hears about the girl's whereabouts, he will definitely go to see him!" ”

Speaking of this, she stood up again: "Although Master Hou is upright, the revenge of killing his father is there, and he may lose his mind if he doesn't do it." ”

There was obvious concern on her face.

After staring at her eyebrows for a moment, she thought again: "Isn't Second Master Rong in the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army?" But let Xiuxiu—"

"Nope." Changying shook her head resolutely, a hint of gloom rose between her eyebrows, "Forget about Xiuxiu." I don't want to owe the Rong family any more affection. ”

Wu's mother paused slightly and sighed: "You still want to take Xiuxiu out after returning to Beijing." ”

"It has to be answered." Changying said, "I can't let her live like that in the Rong family for the rest of her life." ”

Mother Wu was silent. Ban Yan said: "What should I do then?" ”

Chang Ying stood still for a while and said, "I can only ask Shaokang for help." He was on an errand in Jinlinwei, and there was a way to monitor Cheng Xiao. ”

When she left Beijing, only Rong Bi and Xiuxiu knew her whereabouts, and later Shaoqing knew through Xiuxiu, and then even Feng Shaokang, who loved Shaoqing's younger brother the most, also knew.

At the beginning, she was worried that Feng Shaokang would not be able to keep this secret, and he didn't want to befriend Ling Yuan, but he was actually a trustworthy person, and so far three years have passed, and her life has been peaceful so far.

Mother Wu lowered her head and thought for a long time, and said: "Second Master Feng also accepted the girl's love in the past, there should be no problem in this matter, but the paper can't contain the fire, and one day the news will leak out." ”

"So I had to find a guarantee for myself in the plan." Changying walked to the window and opened the hidden window.

No matter how hard she tried, she would never be able to reach the height of the Ling family in the short term.

If she wants to save the fate of the Ling family, and at the same time protect herself from Ling Yuan from killing her or ruining all her efforts, she must find a reliable backer.

Fortunately, she knew that at some point in the future, someone would come out of nowhere and return to Beijing to stir up trouble.

That's her chance.
