Chapter 17: Haunted

"Impossible." Yin Mingchen stood up, put his hands behind his back, and made a gesture to leave.

Jing Wen sat up from the bed, tears falling involuntarily.

Is her life over?

As a woman, if she is not trusted and loved by her husband, is there any hope of living?

This world is unfair to women, is it possible that the fate of both lives is so wretched.

Jingwen bit her lip and didn't speak.

Fingers grip the mattress tightly.

The scorching sun was scorching, Jingwen, who had drunk the medicine, put on her clothes, sat at the desk, put a pot of ice next to her, and had a slight coolness, the window and door opened, and a breeze came, with the fragrance of lotus flowers unique to summer.

At this time, Jing Wen had already stabilized her emotions.

The hair was casually pulled up and most of it was draped around the waist.

The little face became whiter and whiter, and although her facial features were plain, they were very delicate, but she had a slightly sickly appearance, which made her body more slender.

Holding the ledger in his hand and holding his cheek with one hand, he slowly looked at it.

Seeing that something was wrong, his brows furrowed slightly.

Pick up the brush and write it down on another piece of paper to keep looking.

In the study room of Jinghe Academy, Yin Mingchen was also sitting at the desk, holding a wild history in his hand, looking at it, he was distracted.

I remembered what Jing Wen said in Zhaoyu Courtyard today.

Have you ever thought about it, the concubine body doesn't want to be manipulated by the Nine Emperor Princes of Na Laoshizi, the concubine body just wants to live a good life with the prince, and wants the prince to be the concubine's support.

If you have a character in the past, shouldn't you agree to it and use it for yourself?

Why did you say that?

As if realizing that he had made a mistake, Yin Mingchen lost interest in watching it.

Just thinking like this, the sound of Xiao Ran and Qianran talking came from outside the door.

"Thousands of guards, can the prince be in the study? Outside the door, a maid sent a message of worship, saying that the eldest lady of Prime Minister Qi's mansion was coming to visit Mrs. Jing in the mansion on Sunday. ”

Qian Ran listened, waved his hand and said: "There is no need to report to the prince, just go and send it away, just say that Mrs. Jing has a fever at noon today, and she needs to recuperate for a few days, so it is inconvenient to see guests." ”

As soon as the words fell, the door of the study was opened, Yin Mingchen walked out of it, and the two of them hurriedly saluted.

Yin Mingchen waved his hand, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Take the post, if the eldest lady of the Qi family comes tomorrow, let people take it directly to Zhaoyu Courtyard, and by the way, explain to Mama Wu, the guests at home are good to entertain." ”

After saying that, he turned around and went back to the house.

Leaving Qianran and the two of them a little unable to react.

The little guy shouted in embarrassment: "Thousand guards, this ......." ”

"Do as the prince says."

The little guy hurriedly replied yes, retreated, and hurriedly went to reply to the person outside the door.

Qianran turned around and looked at the closed door, I don't know what the prince is thinking?

was so angry yesterday, it wasn't that he said that he would confine Mrs. Jing up, it wasn't that he sent the people from Prime Minister Qi's mansion when he came, why did he change his attention in a blink of an eye, and even entertained him well.

Even if he was puzzled, he was still unfazed on his face.

He doesn't know what the master thinks, but the master must have a reason for doing this, as long as he believes that the master will not be wrong, it's fine.

The next day, because of the grounding, Jingwen still didn't tidy up her makeup, tied her hair casually, wore a white gauze skirt, and sat in the pavilion, still with the account book in her hand.

On this day, she had read half of the account book sent by the maid, and was reading it carefully, when she heard Jiayu come to report.

"Mrs. Jing, the little maid outside the courtyard told me that the eldest lady of the Qi family is here."

This sentence shocked Jing Wen, and she didn't catch the account book in her hand and fell on the stone table.

Her eldest sister is here?

Didn't the sick prince say that he was going to send people away? Is she hallucinating?

She got up and hurriedly walked out, and saw that there were indeed two people standing outside the door, one was wearing a light cyan silk gauze skirt, her belly was much smaller under the cover of the skirt, and a maid was standing next to her, still carrying something in her hand.

Seeing Jing Wen who greeted the door, Qi Yixin was still a little surprised, looking at Jing Wen's dress, he was slightly surprised, and he thought to himself.

Jing Wen also noticed that she was wrong, blushed slightly, and said to Jiayu behind her: "You take the eldest lady of the Qi family to the front hall first, and I will go to tidy up the makeup." ”

With that, he walked briskly towards the inner room.

Half an hour later, Jing Wen packed up her makeup and walked out of the inner room, wearing a pale pink gauze skirt.

Wearing a jasper golden hairpin, the clouds are shaking in a hundred steps, and the jasper earrings are dropped.

Jasper, taking advantage of her fairer complexion.

"Makes you smile." Jing Wen said with a smile.

Qi Yixin got up with a smile and shook his head: "It should be the concubine I'm sorry, it's about the third sister, I'm anxious, and I'm a little early." ”

Jing Wen's heart trembled when she said this.

In this world, the eldest sister still cares about her.

Jing Wen sat on the main seat and withdrew Jia Yuping.

turned to look at Qi Yixin, who was sitting on the left, and asked, "What did the eldest lady of the Qi family want to ask today?" ”

Qi Yixin's eyes flashed, and he said: "Now that the concubine has married into the Liang family, Mrs. Jing is still called the concubine Mrs. Liang." ”

Now, she is disgusted when she thinks of the faces of those people in Qi Mansion, she has only been married for three or four years, and her sister has suffered so many grievances.

"The concubine wants to know, what do you know about my third sister?"

Jing Wen was stunned, but she didn't expect her to ask directly.

"Well, I know a thing or two."

"Does Mrs. Jing know who went to my third sister's yard when she was seriously ill?"

In fact, Qi Yixin had already inquired about this matter yesterday, and basically had some understanding, and today, since she was asking about things, she naturally had to see how much she knew and whether she was fooling herself.

Jing Wen thought for a while and spoke: "She started from not eating, until she starved to death, it was actually only more than ten days, among them, Aunt Shang went twice, Prime Minister Qi went three times, Aunt Han went once, and your father's concubine sent someone to go once."

Jing Wen said methodically.

But people are getting more and more frightened.

The number of times turned out to be all right.

She found out this writing after looking for a noon, but she didn't expect her to say it only in half a cup of tea.

Qi Yixin nodded: "It seems that you really know about the third sister of the concubine, the concubine checked it yesterday, and there is no difference from what Mrs. Jing said." ”

Jing Wen picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and covered up the emotions in her eyes.

"Yesterday, the concubine's aunt Shang said that my third sister starved to death by herself, but I didn't believe it, so I went to her yard to check, and found that she had only been gone for three days, and the lattice courtyard was a little deserted, and the concubine didn't sleep well last night, and I don't know if my third sister was not doing well below, or I want me to help her find out who is behind the scenes."

"Since you want to find out who is behind the scenes, there is a way for the concubine, so it is better to give it a try."

Qi Yixin looked up at her, only to feel that this pale-faced woman said that she wanted to find out who was behind the scenes, and her eyes lit up a lot.

At midnight, in Prime Minister Qi's mansion, the lights in the mansion were bright today.

Today is the first seven of Qi Yitong, the third lady of the Qi family.

Qi Yixin sat in the courtyard of her core, one hand soothing her stomach, and the other hand tapping on the table.

Next to her stood her close maid and mama.

Both of them also lowered their heads and didn't say a word.

Qi Yixin asked, "What time is it?" ”

Mama looked at the time and Shadou replied, "Mrs. Hui, when you just arrived." ”

Qi Yixin nodded, stood up, covered his mouth and yawned: "Serve me to sleep." ”

The two hurriedly responded.

In fact, the two of them had been sleepy for a long time, but if the lady didn't sleep first, even if they were sleepy to death, they had to endure it.

Now that the lady said that she was going to sleep, the two of them made the bed in a hurry, and finally cleaned up, blew out the lamp and trotted back to their side room.

Late at night, the courtyard of Qifu was quiet, and everyone knew today's day, so naturally no one dared to stay any longer.

But there are a lot of people.

For example, Qi Fangyi.

In the past two days, because Qi Yixin came back, she was so scared that she didn't dare to go out in the yard.

Since she was a child, she has been afraid of the eldest lady of the Qi family.

At this time, she was lying on the bed and couldn't sleep, and the thought of what day it was made her feel scared.

Sitting up from the bed, I wanted to see if the maid Yucui on the couch was not there, and wanted to shout and make a bunk next to her bed.

I got up and shouted twice, but there was no movement.

She couldn't help but be annoyed, and scolded the dead pig's maid to see that she wouldn't open her ass tomorrow.

It was pitch black, and she didn't dare to get out of bed.

I had to sit on the bed, hugging the quilt and gritting my teeth and getting angry.

Just as she was angry, a jingling sound sounded outside the window, which instantly frightened her to the point that her face turned white.

Lying down with the quilt in his arms, there was a knock on the window outside.

"Qi Fangyi, Qi Fangyi."

This voice was Qi Yitong's voice, Qi Fangyi was so frightened that she curled up directly in the quilt, biting the flesh on her arm and not daring to speak, and even reached out to hold the frightened hairpin hidden in the pillow before going to bed in her hand.

But the knocking on the window outside still didn't stop, this woman didn't know if it was a human or a ghost, and kept shouting Qi Fangyi's name.

Finally, I asked her if she had touched her things, and they were given to her as begging money.

Qi Fangyi was already stupid, and her mouth kept sticking to Amitabha Buddha, blessed by the Buddha, and protected by Guanyin.

The sound outside the window continued for an hour or two before it disappeared.

At this time, Qi Fangyi on the bed had already fainted.

And this night, except for Nagule, everyone else was knocked on the window for a long time and fainted.

But the maids who were guarding outside said they didn't know anything and didn't hear anything.

Early the next morning, Qi Jingyuan got up from Nagule's bed, still smiling, and gave Nagule a light kiss that was sleeping with great satisfaction.

Seeing the delicate people sleeping so well, Qi Jingyuan was in an extremely happy mood.

Because Nagule was still asleep, he didn't want the maids outside to get up and freshen up, and if he woke up Nagule, he would definitely provoke her dissatisfaction.

I was dressed neatly and went out lightly, and I saw a lot of people waiting outside.

Among them, there was even his big butler, who couldn't help frowning, guessing what big things had happened in his mind.

Instead, he instructed: "Don't disturb your aunt's rest." ”

He went out the door, and the butler immediately followed.

There was an anxious look on his face: "Master, it's not good, our house was haunted yesterday, and now it makes people panic, even Mrs. Shang and other ladies heard a knock on the door outside the window, and called their names." ”

Qi Jingyuan didn't believe this.

What is haunted or not is just some man-made.

Thinking of this, he asked again: "Can you see clearly who is the woman knocking on the window outside?" ”

The old housekeeper was a little embarrassed, and spit out a sentence for a long time: "Yes... Three Misses. ”
