As soon as Shui Qingqing recovered from her serious illness, the palace sent Mama Xi into the Baifu to teach her the rules of the court, and the Bureau also sent palace people to measure the wedding dress for her, and the entire Baifu was busy for her wedding.

But Shui Qingqing ignored these and concentrated on brewing new wine.

She always remembered that she had promised her mother that she would make wine for her to drink, so she didn't care that her body was still weak, and she began to get busy.

She thought that when she married into the royal family in the future, there would be more rules, and it would be impossible to make her own wine.

Xiaoxi said indignantly while helping her: "I heard that the queen asked the second lady to let the second miss out, and said that it was for the sake of Miss and your feelings, but the mother didn't know that this second miss was the worst person who harmed the young lady." ”

Shui Qingqing's eyes sank, and she said coldly: "Niangniang doesn't know the grievances between Bai Lingwei and me. Only when she is my cousin will I kindly let her out. ”

Xiao Xi thought of Tang Wanqing's filling of Bai Lingwei's saffron, and relieved her hatred: "However, Bai Lingwei also got her due retribution, she was poured saffron by Aunt Tang, and she was abandoned by the Hou Mansion, and this life can be regarded as completely ruined." Now that she is back, no one in Baifu can look up to her anymore, she really deserves it. ”

Thinking of the death of her mother and Aunt Pian, Shui Qingqing's heart was cold, and she said coldly: "It's good for her to come back-the enmity between me and their mother and son has not yet ended!" ”

Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrives!

As soon as Shui Qingqing's words fell, there was a sound of footsteps at the gate of the courtyard, Shui Qingqing looked up, but saw Bai Lingwei leading Xia Chan in.

The master and servant not only suffered a lot in the Hou Mansion this time, but also suffered in Jing Zhaoyin's prison, so in their eyes, they were all angry, and their faces were gloomy.

Especially Bai Lingwei, whose delicate and ruddy face used to be, was as white as a ghost after being detained in the firewood room and Tang Wanqing's bowl of saffron, her cheeks were so thin that she was sunken, and she was supported by Xia Cicada when she walked.

When the enemy meets, it is naturally extraordinarily red-eyed.

In the Bai Mansion, the last person Shui Qingqing wanted to see was Bai Lingwei, so seeing her coming uninvited, she unceremoniously reprimanded: "Get out!" ”

Hearing this, Bai Lingwei's miserable face darkened, and instead of leaving, she slowly stepped forward provocatively.

Her cruel eyes looked at the splendid and prosperous and joyful appearance in the main courtyard, and then thought that she was left of the Hou Mansion by the gray and became the laughing stock of the whole capital, and she vomited blood with hatred in her heart, and said with a cold smile: "My sister's heart is really big, she just died of her mother and her son, and now she is still in the mood to remarry." If I were me, I was afraid that I would cry to death, and I still have the leisure to make wine here?! ”

Shui Qingqing had already hated Bai Lingwei because of her mother's death and Yun'er's separation, but now that she dared to mention her mother and Yun'er in front of her, she couldn't help but churn with hatred in her heart.

Seeing her face change drastically, Bai Lingwei became more and more proud, and she was bent on venturing the evil anger in her heart, and the words she said became more piercing and vicious.

She looked at Shui Qingqing defiantly, her eyes flashed with the most vicious light, and she sneered: "Heh, you spent all your time entering the Hou Mansion to snatch back your son, but you didn't expect him to be a short-lived ...... You worked hard to hook up with Master Hou, and in the end you couldn't be with him. Even if you rely on your mother's death to fight for this marriage for you, it will eventually be looked down upon. You are so tattered, do you think that the Third Highness will really like you......"

"Ah......h

Without waiting for her to finish her words triumphantly, Shui Qingqing suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Bai Lingwei's head, grabbed her throat, dragged her to the side of the wine vat with all her might, and scooped a large scoop of liquor into Bai Lingwei's mouth, while saying hatefully: "Poisonous woman, don't make new wine, how can you celebrate your retirement from the Hou Mansion and become a poor abandoned woman?" ”

"If you don't make new wine, how can you thank God for making you deserve it, being poured with safflower, and being infertile for life?"

"If you don't make new wine, how can you congratulate you on returning from prison?"

"Let's try it!"

Every time she said a word, Shui Qingqing poured a large scoop of liquor into Bai Lingwei's mouth and nose, which made her gasp and roll her eyes.

In the end, Shui Qingqing was angry, threw Hu Scoop, and directly pressed her whole head into the wine vat.

Shui Qingqing's series of actions were extremely fast, and before Xia Cicada could react, Bai Lingwei had been poured two large scoops of wine by Shui Qingqing.

Xia Chan came back from her fright, and saw that Bai Lingwei was pressed into the wine vat by Shui Qingqing, so she was so anxious that she hurriedly rushed forward to help rescue her, Xiaoxi stopped her with a stick, and said viciously: "This is the main courtyard of my young lady, if you dare to do it, I will discount your legs!" ”

Thinking of her mother's death, thinking of Yun'er's separation from herself, and all kinds of frames she had made for herself, the long-suppressed hatred in Shui Qingqing's heart was completely violent at this moment, and she couldn't wait to suffocate Bai Lingwei to death in this wine vat.

Therefore, the strength in her hand never relaxed, and it was not until the Yang family brought someone to come and pull her away that Bai Lingwei was rescued from the wine vat.

But after this toss, Bai Lingwei, who was already delicate, only had half a life left. The whole person was lying on the ground like a dead fish, his face was red from the strong liquor, his hair was disheveled, his clothes were soaked, and he was extremely embarrassed......

This shock not only alarmed the other people in the Bai Mansion, but even Bai Haoqing rushed here.

From the beginning of the Yang family's entry into the main courtyard, he stepped forward several times to find Shui Qingqing desperately.

Seeing Bai Haoqing coming, she hurriedly stepped forward and cried bitterly beside Bai Lingwei, trembling and pointing at Shui Qingqing with a frosty face: "You actually relied on your identity as the eldest sister to bully your sister like this, and you dare to murder your own sister in broad daylight...... Where is your conscience? You are too bullying, don't think that you are lawless when you are a princess...... Master, you have to make decisions for our mother and daughter, otherwise, the concubine can't survive, so it's better to die here......"

"You are going to die in your yard, don't defile my mother's place!"

After Fang Cai's desperate efforts, Shui Qingqing, who had just recovered from illness, was also very struggling, panting and glaring at Yang fiercely with a white face, gritting his teeth and scolding: "Get out!" ”

The Yang family was so frightened by her cruel appearance that she choked on crying, and Bai Haoqing didn't dare to provoke her at this time, so he hurriedly let people carry the half-dead Bai Lingwei down, and even the Yang family was ordered by him to drink down, and strictly ordered that no one would be allowed to enter her main courtyard without Shui Qingqing's permission in the future.

After everyone retreated, Bai Haoqing looked at the wine vat in the courtyard, and scolded Xiaoxi on the side: "The eldest lady's wedding is imminent, how can you let her do these crude tasks in the courtyard, what if you let the teaching grandmother from the palace see it and spread it to the ears of the emperor and the queen?" Hurry up and get these things out of here. ”

Xiaoxi was scolded by Bai Haoqing, and was so frightened that he retreated to the side and didn't dare to speak, Shui Qingqing sneered: "Don't talk about brewing, I have helped people dig wells, slaughtered cattle and sheep, and mixed in the market every day, mixing with the lowest and roughest people in the lower ninth rank." Such an unbearable and crude person, Bai Xiang insisted on trying his best to make her a princess, or even a future queen - Bai Xiang, if I let the emperor and queen know what I had done, would I be angry and punish the Bai family!? ”

What Shui Qingqing said about 'what she has done' is, of course, referring to the fact that she has given birth to a child.

The royal concubine is extremely strict, if it weren't for Emperor Jin Ming's love for Princess Wuning, and the marriage contract promised by Empress Chen, according to Shui Qingqing's reputation among the people, she would not have been able to become a princess and marry into the royal family.

And if you let the emperor and queen know that the daughter-in-law she married was actually married and had children, then I am afraid that the world will be in chaos, and it will be a criminal who will bully the king and cause a big disaster!

Bai Haoqing's face turned pale, and he said with pity: "So, at this point, you don't want to struggle anymore, in addition to being your third princess, you must try your best to cover everything, otherwise, it is not only the Bai family who will die!" ”

Hearing this, Shui Qingqing's whole body was cold, knowing that he was talking about Yun'er, thinking that he might cause Yun'er to die, tears flowed down his eyes.

Bai Haoqing looked at the wet dress on her body, and said to Xiaoxi: "Help your young lady go back to the room to change clothes, the wedding date is approaching, and you must not be sick again!" ”

With that, he brushed his sleeves and left.

As soon as Bai Haoqing left, the entire main courtyard was completely quiet, and a long figure came out of the corner and stopped in front of Shui Qingqing with a sad face.

Looking at the cold man who suddenly appeared in front of him, Shui Qingqing looked at him in a daze, thinking that his eyes were dazzled and hallucinating, until Xiaoxi was shocked and whispered: "Master Hou, why are you here?" ”

After seeing Aunt Pian in the 6th Mansion, Mei Zijin didn't dare to stop for a moment and came to the White Mansion to find Shui Qingqing.

It's just that just when he was about to appear, Bai Lingwei broke in. So he had to hide himself for the time being and didn't show up.

Mei Zijin, who was hiding in the corner, clearly heard every word Bai Lingwei said to Shui Qingqing.

When he completely recognized Bai Lingwei's vicious face, he heard her admit in person in her vicious words that Yun'er was indeed born to Shui Qingqing.

At that moment, looking at the person who had done evil things, and dared to use Yun'er to hurt Shui Qingqing, Mei Zijin couldn't wait to draw his sword and kill Bai Lingwei!

And hearing her say that she had done a living, Mei Zijin felt inexplicably sad, and finally understood why she could have killed the snow wolf dog of the fifth princess at the beginning, it turned out that she had such a hard time before......

In this way, seeing Shui Qingqing fighting with Bai Lingwei under resentment, Mei Zi Jinyue's heart was painful and pityful.

His deep eyes looked at her steadily, although he had only been seen for a few days, but he seemed to have been away from her for so long......

He instructed Xiaoxi: "Go and close the courtyard door and don't let people in." ”

Xiaoxi hurriedly ran to close the courtyard door.

Shui Qingqing looked at Mei Zijin in disbelief, and said in a daze: "You ......"

"Change into clean clothes, I'll take you to meet someone!"

Shui Qingqing looked at him in confusion, and said puzzledly: "Who does Master Hou want to take me to?" ”

Mei Zijin said firmly: "Pity Auntie! ”

Hearing this, Shui Qingqing's whole body trembled, and she looked at him dumbfounded, unable to come back to her senses for a long time.

The next moment, she came back to her senses, and without saying a word, she ran into the house to change her clothes, so excited that her hands trembled.

And Mei Zijin, who was standing outside the house waiting for her, looked at the festive bright red in her eyes, and felt a pinprick pain in her heart......

Shui Qingqing quickly changed her clothes and came out, and said eagerly: "Where is Aunt Pian?" Take me there! ”

Mei Zijin once again instructed Xiaoxi to take care of the courtyard and not let people in, and then stretched out his long arms, took Shui Qingqing into his arms, and disappeared into the twilight......

Looking at the figure that disappeared in mid-air, Yang, who was standing outside the main courtyard, gritted his teeth and said, "I really didn't look away." What an adulterer**, he still doesn't give up to this day! ”

It turned out that when Yang was crying on Bai Lingwei's body, she inadvertently saw the half of the corner of her clothes exposed in the corner, and immediately had doubts in her heart.

So after she left the main courtyard, she asked her subordinates to send Bai Lingwei back to her evergreen courtyard, but she took Mama Jin and others to guard outside the main courtyard.

After a while, after Bai Haoqing also came out, Yang saw Xiaoxi closing the courtyard door with a panicked face, and his heart was even more suspicious.

Intuitively, she felt that the corner of Fang Cai's dark purple clothes was hiding a man.

Just as she was about to lead someone to rush in to catch the adulterer, she saw a figure flash out of the main courtyard, and when she saw the figure, it was Mei Zijin.

This moment made the Yang family angry and excited, and turned back to Mama Jin and Cai Juan and ordered: "Hurry up and send someone to tell the third prince that his fiancée has eloped with the Marquis of Dingguo." Then I went to tell the master that the main courtyard had entered the assassins, and asked him to quickly bring someone over to arrest the assassins. ”

Mama Jin and Cai Juan were both excited......

The cold night breeze was blowing in his ears, and Mei Zijin carried Shui Qingqing out of the White Mansion. Then he carried her on horseback, and drove her to the 6th mansion in a hurry.

Along the way, Shui Qingqing hid in Mei Zijin's wide cloak, with the bump of the horse, the two bodies collided irrepressibly, she could hear the clear heartbeat in his chest, and Mei Zijin also smelled the long-lost mint fragrance on her body, and the hand holding her soft waist couldn't help but tighten, making Shui Qingqing's whole body tremble.

Neither of them spoke, but at this moment Mei Zijin was very satisfied, he wanted to hug her all the way like this, and never have to be separated again......

But the happier the moment, the shorter it is......

6 Mansions will soon arrive.

The moment Shui Qingqing saw the 6 Mansion, she was stunned, Mei Zijin knew the doubts in her heart, and said in a sullen voice: "It was 6 Lin who met Aunt Lian when she went out for a clinic in Beijing, so she brought her back." ”

The moment she saw Aunt Pian in the inner room, Shui Qingqing was so happy that her tears couldn't stop flowing, and she took Aunt Pian's hand and said excitedly: "Auntie, it's great that you're still alive......"

Aunt Pity went through great hardships, and when she saw Shui Qingqing again, she was also so excited that she couldn't control herself, and she hugged Shui Qingqing and cried.

Mei Zijin and 6 Lin tacitly withdrew from the inner room, and Aunt Lian finally told Shui Qingqing about the suspicions in her heart about Empress Chen and the fire that Princess Wuning encountered twenty years ago.

“…… County Lord, you must be careful of the queen, although the Hou Ye said that he already had evidence to prove that the matter of the other garden was related to the Yang family that day, but the old slave thought, no matter how bold the Yang family is, he will definitely not dare to openly murder the princess......"

"Moreover, the Yang family didn't know that the princess had found you before, even if they suspected that the princess was investigating what happened nineteen years ago, they wouldn't have taken you back to the White Mansion...... The old slave suspected that there was someone behind the Yang family, and this person was most likely the queen. No matter what, you must be careful of the queen! ”

Aunt Pian's words finally reminded Shui Qingqing of something.

The first thing that came to mind was the divorce she mentioned.

It stands to reason that the original marriage contract was proposed by Queen Chen to her mother, and it was also a compensation for her mother's kindness to save her back then, Queen Chen should not agree with her approach so easily, let alone send Red Sleeves out of the palace to pick her up on the day of the emperor's wedding, but in the palace, she repeatedly reminded herself of the divorce.

Now that I think about it, Queen Chen's behavior is to wish she proposed to withdraw from the marriage......

And then she thought about Empress Chen's coming forward to let Bai Lingwei out of prison.

Like what Mei Zijin thought, Shui Qingqing, who came back to her senses, couldn't help but think of why the queen mother was so concerned about Bai Lingwei's matter? Hasn't she always been snubbing her mother for her father, promoting the Yang family, and being dissatisfied with the Yang family, how could she take the initiative to help the Yang family save her daughter now?

Could it really be as Aunt Pian guessed, Queen Chen is actually a honey-bellied sword, pretending to care about her mother while framing her mother?

The more she thought about it, the colder Shui Qingqing's heart became, and her back was cold.

She suppressed the chill in her heart and said in a trembling voice: "Auntie, if your guess is right, why should the queen be such a mother?" Why do you want to hurt me? ...... year But her mother saved her life, but she lost her face and ruined her life...... And I, I have no grudge against her......"

Aunt Pian's eyes gave birth to a deep chill, she clenched Shui Qingqing's hand hard, gritted her teeth and said: "If the old slave guessed correctly, the fire that ruined the princess's face back then was also deliberately done by Queen Chen to frame the princess." Everything, just for the prince at that time, and now the emperor! ”

"Why, why did the queen do this?"

Shui Qingqing didn't know about the old things, so she suddenly heard Aunt Pian mention Emperor Jin Ming, and she was confused.

Aunt Lian said sadly: "Because the person the emperor liked at that time was a princess, and the selected princess was also a princess, not the current queen." Even the portrait of the princess I showed you earlier was drawn by the emperor himself when he was the crown prince. After the princess's accident that year, the biggest beneficiary was the queen - so, county lord, don't underestimate the jealousy between women, it will kill people! ”

"And she wants to harm you, I'm afraid she doesn't want you to marry His Royal Highness. The old slave had heard the news before that the queen intended to win over the power of the queen mother in order to seize the heir of the third highness, and asked the third highness to marry the grandnephew of the queen mother's family, the lord of Linrou. And your appearance is only afraid that it will disrupt her plans, so she wants to get rid of you......"

Shui Qingqing gritted her teeth and said tremblingly: "What happened back then...... Does my aunt have any evidence? ”

Aunt Pian said: "When the boudoir where the queen lived suddenly caught fire, the princess was a guest in the mansion of Chen Guogong, and after the princess pushed her out of the fire in order to save the queen, she was trapped by the fire and burned her face......"

"The old slave was not suspicious at that time, but five years ago, there was a scar on the back of the red sleeves of the palace maid of Queen Chen, and he became suspicious......

"When the fire broke out, the old slave saw a masked black shadow fleeing from around the house, and when he chased after him and fought with the black shadow, the black shadow's back was burned by a red-hot green brick. And the scar on the back of the red sleeve is square, very similar to the green brick. Even the diamond-shaped grooves on the green bricks, there were on her scars - it was only then that the old slave began to suspect that the fire was deliberately set by the queen in order to burn the princess to death......"

"Since this secret has been revealed, the old slave has also reminded the princess to be careful of the queen many times, but Queen Chen is too hypocritical, on the surface she has always been better to the princess than her own sisters, and she never forgets the kindness of the year, the princess does not believe that her most trusted cousin will harm her, and she does not believe it until she dies......"

Shui Qingqing's whole body is like falling into an ice cave, and it is cold!

Her mind was full of the pain and fear of her mother when she was trapped in the fire, and the pitiful feeling of being ridiculed and ridiculed by everyone when she showed her face on the street, and the desolation and misery of her life.

Until death, she has to take her home, worrying about her, defending her, and making the last plan for her.

Until she died, she didn't get a trace of love from her husband, and she died with hatred!

Reaching out to caress the piece of her mother left for her in her ear, Shui Qingqing's tears rolled down, and the hatred in her heart was monstrous-

If everything that Aunt Lian said was true, and her mother's miserable and desolate life was killed by Queen Chen, she would never let her go, and she wanted to get back this blood feud from her for her mother......

Aunt Pian's body was still very weak, and after saying so many words for a while, she finally fell asleep tiredly, and Shui Qingqing wiped the tears on her face with heartache, and also wiped the tears off her face.

She opened the door and walked out, and 6 Lin and Mei Zijin were guarding outside. Seeing her come out, Mei Zijin's worries suddenly let go.

Shui Qingqing solemnly thanked 6 Lin for saving Aunt Pian's life!

6 Lin thought that she was going to take Aunt Pian away, and couldn't help but worry: "Although my aunt is no longer in danger of dying, she is still very weak, and she needs to be well adjusted, and there are still many fractures on her body, which will take at least three or two months to heal...... And you're about to get married, I'm afraid I won't have the time to take care of her, so it's better to keep her down and let me help her take care of her body before leaving......"

Shui Qingqing nodded lightly with red eyes, and said gratefully: "Yes, I also have this intention...... I also want to ask you to help me continue to take care of Aunt Pian, she is already old, after this difficulty, her body is even more unbearable, only by entrusting her to you to take care of me, I can rest assured. ”

6 Lin responded, and like last time, he sent Mei Zijin and Shui Qingqing to the back door, and arranged for the carriage of 6 mansions to send them back quietly.

Before getting into the carriage, Shui Qingqing thought about what she was going to do later, and solemnly said to Mei Zijin and 6 Lin: "There is one more thing to solemnly ask the two of you, the matter of Aunt Pian is alive, please Hou Ye and Doctor 6 help me keep it secret, don't let the fourth person know." ”

6 Lin nodded solemnly.

Mei Zijin looked at Shui Qingqing's solemn expression, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I will send someone to quietly guard the 6 mansions, and I won't let people hurt Aunt Lian again." ”

Shui Qingqing's heart warmed, and she said softly: "In this way, thank you Hou Ye and Doctor 6 again!" ”

got into the carriage, Shui Qingqing and Mei Zijin sat face to face.

Looking at her red and swollen eyes and grief-stricken face, Mei Zijin felt a pang in her heart, and comforted softly: "It's a blessing that Aunt Pity is still alive, and 6 Lin has excellent medical skills, you can rest assured!" ”

Thinking of what Aunt Lian told her before, Shui Qingqing looked at Mei Zijin and asked, "I heard that Master Hou found evidence that the Yang family murdered his mother?" ”

Mei Zijin said in a deep voice: "Actually, it's not evidence, it's just that the person who pushed you and the princess down on the street that day was Xia Chan." In this way, I deduce that everything you encountered that day is inseparable from the Yang family's Bai Lingwei. ”

Shui Qingqing gritted her teeth and said: "Actually, I have long suspected that their mother and daughter did it, but there is no evidence." But...... Now that I think about it, they are not the only ones who are afraid of harming their mothers......"

Mei Zijin said solemnly: "Aunt Lian has told me before, she suspects that there is a queen. ”

After that, Mei Zijin worried: "Before there is no evidence to expose the queen and the Yang family in one fell swoop, you must calm down and not be impulsive." Remember, I ...... everything."

Thinking of what she heard about him going on an expedition, Shui Qingqing was sad, and said with a bitter smile: "Master Hou doesn't have to worry about me. It's Lord Hou, who is about to fight on the battlefield, and I heard that this battle is more dangerous than before...... Hou Ye should be careful in everything......"

"How can I not worry about you!?"

Looking at her haggard face and thinking about her current situation, Mei Zijin was reluctant to give up, and she couldn't rest assured.

Looking at her with deep eyes, he said firmly: "Before you go on the expedition, I will help you snatch back Yun'er from Bai Xiang's hands." ”

Hearing this, Shui Qingqing looked at him in astonishment, but he didn't expect him to know everything......

Thinking that she was threatened by her father, Mei Zijin felt heartache in her heart, gritted her teeth and said fiercely: "Otherwise, Bai Xiang will threaten you with Yun'er for the rest of your life." What's more-in order to prevent the royal family from showing your previous affairs in the future, after you marry into the Third Prince's Mansion, he will kill Yun'er. So, Yun'er, I'll be sure to help you find it back - go now! ”

It is undeniable that what Mei Zijin said is exactly what Shui Qingqing is worried about, with her understanding of Bai Haoqing, he will really do this......

She said in a trembling voice: "Master Hou knows where Yun'er is hidden? ”

Mei Zijin said in a deep voice: "Fang Cai Sanshi has been found, and it is on the grange of Baifu outside the city." I'll take you to pick up Yun'er right now. ”

Shui Qingqing only then appeared, the carriage was not heading towards the city, but towards the outside of the city.

Thinking of being able to snatch Yun'er back from the ruthless Bai Haoqing, Shui Qingqing was so excited that she couldn't wait for the carriage to fly up, and immediately flew to the Zhuangzi in the suburbs to find Yun'er.

But the next moment, the hurried carriage came to a sudden stop.

Outside the carriage, Li You, who was in a cold air, surrounded the carriage with heavy soldiers and horses......
