Of the dozen or so people standing at the gate of the lattice courtyard, some people secretly stretched their heads inside to take a look, and when they saw the fire inside, they immediately retracted their heads in fright.

He stammered, "Yes, there's a fire!" ”

The other dozen or so people were already bold, and they dared to follow with an oil umbrella when they saw that there were many people, and they were all frightened and retreated when they heard this.

In the middle of the crowd stood the maid who had just come out to find food for their second lady.

At this time, she was supported by an old woman who looked a little older to stand firmly, and her voice was full of trills: "I saw a white shadow just now, and I entered this courtyard." ”

An old woman sighed, patted her thigh and said, "My Yuzhu girl, don't say it again, you also saw it, these two eggs just opened the iron chain, you said that a white shadow is a woman?" ”

The jade bead had a white face, thought about the slender waist and the ring ornament on the head, and nodded: "Yes... It's a woman. ”

The woman said: "Then it is even more impossible, this iron chain is a man, it takes half a day's effort, not to mention a weak woman, you look at this iron chain, there is no damage in the slightest, where it seems to have been opened by brute force." ”

As soon as she said this, everyone fell silent, and for a while, no one spoke, and the strange atmosphere became even stronger.

The mother-in-law had seen the world, so she found two servants to go to the prime minister to report the matter.

It rained heavily in the middle of the night, but it really couldn't stop for a while.

In a guest room in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Jing Wen stared at the man who had taken off his black clothes with wide eyes.

He hugged himself just now, and the rain was all on him, so the clothes on his body were already soaked.

The blue robe inside was also dripping water on the ground, and I saw that his voice was gentle, and his ears were like bathing in a spring breeze.

"Wait for the king to change his clothes." After saying that, he opened the door and entered the inner room.

Jing Wen was dressed in wet clothes, and looked at the closed door of the inner room in a daze, and couldn't help but be surprised, this person was none other than Qi Yitong in the previous life, the person he wanted to marry, the fifth prince Yin Tianyi.

It's just that Qi Yitong, who was alive for a while, after using Jingwen's body, didn't have the admiration when he saw him again, and some were only surprised.

How could he be in the courtyard of her previous life so late? And why did it save her?

Before she could react, the door to the inner chamber was opened again.

The man who was still wet just now looked like a noble brother at this time, if it weren't for the fact that his hair was still wet, Jing Wen felt that she was simply dreaming.

He placed a package on the couch and asked, "You... Need a change of clothes? ”

Jing Wen looked at her somewhat wet clothes and shook her head.

I don't know how to speak, one of my prince's concubines appeared in that courtyard inexplicably, how can she explain?

The man sitting on the couch did not speak, but he put the teapot on the candle flame and boiled it, and after a while, he poured out two cups of hot tea.

He handed her a cup and said, "Warm up with a cup of hot tea." ”

Jing Wen didn't answer, only to see him smile bitterly: "Don't worry, this king won't do anything to you, now that you are the second brother's person, even if I have other thoughts about you, it will have long disappeared." ”

Jing Wen stiffened when she said this, and her already pale face turned a little whiter when she heard this.

Yin Tianyi saw it in her eyes, and only felt that what she said before scared her, but it was a year ago since she last expressed her heart to her, and now she saw that she was still so guarded, which showed that she was too anxious at that time.

After saying this, seeing that she was still standing there still, she couldn't help sighing, and said helplessly: "Well, since you don't want to see this king, go back, it's raining heavily in the middle of the night, you are a weak woman, don't run to that obscure courtyard." ”

Hearing him say let her go, Jing Wen turned around without thinking about it, but when she heard the last sentence, her body couldn't help but pause, her eyes were full of anger, and she said, "Unlucky? Do you think Qi Yitong's yard is an unlucky yard? ”

The man looked at her puzzled, and asked, "Isn't it?" Someone just died in that courtyard, isn't it a bad luck courtyard? ”

The originally warm voice and words spoken were like sharp knives, cutting Jing Wen's heart with a knife.

Jing Wen's eyes were red with anger, but she didn't even have the strength to clench her fists.

I opened the door, checked that there was no one around, and rushed out without looking back.

When he returned to his side room, he slammed the door backwards, walked to the bedside, and spread it on the pedal as if he had been exhausted.

There were so many things going on today, too much for her to digest.

Her original body is connected to the Nine Emperor Princes.

The fifth prince that she Qi Yitong has always thought about is actually concerned about his second brother's concubine.

What kind of identity is she, the owner of this body?

Early the next morning, Qingzhu came to knock on the door early in the morning, saying that it was getting raining outside, and the prince asked him to get up and wash up and prepare to go home.

Jing Wen frowned and asked her, "Why are you so impatient?" ”

Qingzhu shook his head and said he didn't know.

This news made Jing Wen a little uneasy from getting up, yesterday she wanted to go back to the lattice courtyard to see if her jade pendant was still there, but a series of things that happened afterwards made her not even have a chance to take a look at the cabinet.

Where is the jade pendant now? She didn't know either.

Looking at the rain yesterday, there will definitely be no funeral today, the ancestral grave of the Qi family is halfway up the mountain, and the mountain road is not easy to walk on weekdays, let alone after a heavy rain, with Qi Jinghong's steady temperament, he will definitely have to go out of the funeral in seven days.

Just when she frowned and was distracted, she heard Qingzhu who combed her hair behind her whispered: "Mrs. Jing, when the slave maid went to fetch water today, I heard some interesting things. ”

Jing Wen was worried about the jade pendant in her heart, and when she heard her say something interesting, she also coped: "Let's hear it." ”

Qingzhu kept his hands on him, and said in a somewhat cheerful tone: "I heard the girl in the house say that after dinner yesterday, Prime Minister Qi took people to turn over Aunt Han's yard. ”

Jing Wen frowned: "Turn over the yard?" Why? ”

"It was said that the second miss of the Qi family stole Miss Qi's things. It was the scene that Mrs. Jing met with her slave maid next to the rockery at noon yesterday, when Aunt Na was asking for something for the second lady of the Qi family, it seemed to be a jade pendant, and after the incident, Aunt Na went to find Prime Minister Qi. ”

After finishing speaking, he sighed: "I didn't expect Aunt Na to be able to speak in front of Prime Minister Qi." ”

Jing Wen said in her heart: Nagule can speak so easily in front of Qi Jinghong.

Now in the Prime Minister's Mansion, after her mother passed away, Shangfu sent her mother's sister to be the housemother of Qi Mansion.

Now, even her aunt of the Shang family has to give three points to Nagule, and if she doesn't make any big mistakes, she doesn't dare to say a few more words.

Aunt Han was even more resentful to death, and she didn't dare to show half a point on her face, the good scene at noon yesterday, thinking about it, Qi Fangyi felt that she was the only girl left in the house now, and she had some confidence, so she dared to insult two sentences, if Na Gule was a little sharper in her mouth, she would definitely be scared Qi Fangyi's farts and urine, but unfortunately, it has been three years since she entered the dynasty, and Na Gule just didn't want to learn to speak Chinese well, and maintained her pitiful little self-esteem.

However, these were not what Jing Wen was most concerned about, so she turned her head to look at Qingzhu and asked, "What can I find in Aunt Han's yard?" ”

Qingzhu didn't expect her master to react so much, and her hand that was combing her hair suddenly shrank, for fear that it would hurt her.

"It was said that it was found, and there was not only one jade pendant, but also a lot of valuable objects."

The woman with her hair nodded, which she expected.

Before her maternal grandfather was a famous salt merchant, her eldest uncle, third uncle, fifth uncle, and ninth uncle were three civil officials and one military attaché, and the family naturally had a lot of money.

Her mother's dowry when she got married is said to have pulled more than a dozen carriages.

After giving birth to the eldest sister and her, she sat firmly in the position of the main mother, in charge of the middle feed of the house, and the good things in her hand will naturally not be missing.

After the death of her mother, these dowries were controlled by her mother's wet nurse, and the eldest sister, because she was the eldest daughter in the family, learned to control the housework from an early age, and took over her mother's property at the age of twelve or thirteen.

When I took over, I also found that the nurse was stealing a lot of corruption, and I won't talk about these old things.

Later, the eldest sister got married, although she took some of it away, but the Prime Minister's Mansion accompanied most of it, so the sister was afraid that she would be bullied in the house, so she left her a lot.

Unexpectedly, her small vault had already been targeted, and she had only been gone for two days before she was stolen by some well-intentioned people.

Just thinking about it, I heard Qingzhu say again: "Those things were chased back by Prime Minister Qi Cheng and sealed in the vault of the lattice courtyard, saying that they were managed by special people, and whoever had the idea of fighting those things again would be driven out of the house." ”

Hearing this, Jing Wen was stunned, Na Gule specially asked Qi Jinghong to get it back from Qi Fangyi, but it wasn't for private swallowing?

The maid behind her skillfully pulled her sideburns, and added a sentence when she inserted a hairpin: "The slave maid also heard that Aunt Na chased the jade pendant that the second lady of the Qi family wanted, and after coming back, she entered the coffin, saying that she was going to accompany the third miss of the Qi family to be buried together." ”

said that she also checked her master's expression through the bronze mirror, and said in her heart: My master doesn't know what to do, but he is so concerned about Prime Minister Zuo's mansion, but if Mrs. is not ordinary to Prime Minister Zuo's mansion, she hasn't seen her get closer to anyone since she came to this morning yesterday.

Now even the prince knows that Mrs. Jing is inquiring about the affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and when she was sent back to serve this morning, she also specially asked her to pay more attention to the movements of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and came back to talk to Mrs. Jing.

However, looking at the stunned lady staring at the wooden comb on the table at this time, Qingzhu didn't dare to speak again.

And Jing Wen seemed to only hear Qingzhu say that the jade pendant was in the coffin, and her whole body stiffened, her hands clutched her dress, her lips pursed, and she trembled uncontrollably.

After a long time, he seemed to have figured it out, and exhaled a breath of turbidity, and his slender hands were white because he grabbed the dress too hard.

Xindao: Put it in, put it in, this may be God's arrangement, telling her to have an end with the past.
