Chapter 20: Investigating Sheng Yu
Mei Zijin was assassinated and disappeared, Bai Lingwei and several aunts couldn't sleep all night, and they came to the Shi'an Courtyard early in the morning to see the old lady.
Seeing Shui Qingqing who followed the old lady into the house, everyone was shocked.
After Shui Qingqing fell out of the carriage yesterday, everyone thought she died on the mountain. After all, the situation at that time was too dangerous, the guards were not assassins' opponents, they all died, and even Mei Zijin has disappeared to this day, how could she, a weak woman with no power to restrain chickens, survive.
So now that she appeared unharmed, everyone was like a ghost, frightened and couldn't believe it.
Shui Qingqing stood behind the old lady, her eyes swept up the faces of several aunts without a trace, and when she finally landed on Bai Lingwei, she couldn't take her eyes off in an instant-
Brother Yun'er was wrapped in blue swaddling clothes, staring around with big black eyes, and when he saw Shui Qingqing, he actually grinned.
Brother Yun smiled, Shui Qingqing's whole heart melted, and she couldn't care about anything else, she just looked at him stupidly, reluctant to take her eyes away......
Mrs. Hou didn't know about Shui Qingqing's fall from the carriage yesterday, and when she saw everyone's different expressions, she only thought that Mei Zijin's disappearance had made them confused, so she couldn't help but comfort them with a few words of comfort.
“…… Your husband grew up in a military camp, he fought no less than a hundred battles in guns and swords, and he was a true man who lived on the tip of a knife. ”
"No news is good news. Put away your worries, do whatever you have to do, and dress up nicely so that he can be happy when he comes back. ”
The old lady's words were like a reassuring pill, which instantly made everyone feel at ease, and they responded respectfully one by one.
The old lady turned her head to Bai Lingwei and specially instructed: "Especially you, don't panic, take good care of Brother Yun." He was only afraid and scared yesterday, but did he let the government doctor see it? But there must not be a trace of negligence. ”
Hearing this, Bai Lingwei suddenly burst into tears, startling everyone else.
She hugged Brother Yun and said sadly: "Thank you for the old lady's compassion...... It's just that Brother Yun has been returning to milk very lately, and after coming back from the mountains yesterday, he ate and vomited, and cried all night. The daughter-in-law is worried about the Hou Ye on the one hand, and Brother Yun on the other, it is really ......"
Thinking about it, Bai Lingwei is a young lady from the Hanlin family, she has been pampered since she was a child, and she stretches out her hands when she eats, and now she suddenly has to take care of the child, even if there are a bunch of nurses and grandmothers to help take care of her, she still can't bear it for a while. In addition, Mei Zijin's disappearance made her even more worried, and she became more and more anxious and tired.
Listening to her words, Mrs. Hou couldn't help but show worry, Shui Qingqing's heart tightened, and she couldn't help but step forward to hug Brother Yun'er, but when she thought of her current identity, she just gritted her teeth and endured it, lowered her head to hide the tears in her eyes......
The old lady took Brother Yun from Bai Lingwei's arms, put her face against his forehead and said distressedly: "Poor thing, why did you suddenly return to milk when you have been doing well?" How uncomfortable it is for such a young child to vomit. ”
Brother Yun seemed to understand the old lady's words, and her mouth was curled, and she cried aggrievedly.
Shui Qingqing stood beside the old lady, and when she heard Brother Yun crying, she couldn't help but step forward and said, "Old lady, let me coax you to watch." ”
The old lady didn't sleep all night, she was also tired, and she was a little powerless to coax the crying child, so she handed Brother Yun into Shui Qingqing's hands according to her words.
When she hugged her child again, Shui Qingqing was excited, and seeing Brother Yun crying, it was even more painful.
Fortunately, after Brother Yun arrived in her hands, he gradually settled down, and his crying became quieter, and he slowly fell asleep in her arms......
Seeing that Brother Yun was asleep, Bai Lingwei was about to pick him up from Shui Qingqing's arms, when suddenly there was a commotion outside, and a maid ran into the house and said happily: "Old lady, Master Hou is back!" ”
Hearing that Mei Zijin was back, the Hou Mansion swept away the haze, and everyone was overjoyed, and followed the old lady to the door to greet the returning Mei Zijin.
However, thinking of Mei Zijin's cold-blooded ruthlessness when she pushed herself down the mountain beam, Shui Qingqing's heart trembled, and she was unwilling and afraid to face him again.
However, in order to hug Yun'er more, she finally endured the fear and discomfort in her heart, and hugged Yun'er and followed everyone to the door of the Hou Mansion to greet Mei Zijin, who had returned.
After being assassinated for a night, Mei Zijin was a little pale, everything else was ordinary, and he couldn't see anything unusual.
Getting off the horse, his eyes swept calmly over everyone's faces, and when he saw Shui Qingqing standing behind the crowd, his eyes stopped for a moment, and the next moment he stepped forward to report to the old lady that he was safe.
"The son is not filial, which makes the mother worried!"
Seeing Mei Zijin come back safe and sound, Mrs. Hou's high heart finally fell to the ground safely, and she choked her throat and said happily: "It's good to come back...... Mother knows you're going to be fine. ”
After appeasing the old lady Hou, Mei Zijin turned her head to look at Bai Lingwei and asked with concern, "Where is Yun'er?" ”
Yun'er fell asleep in Shui Qingqing's hands, afraid that the change of hands would wake him up, and in a hurry to see Mei Zijin, Bai Lingwei had not yet picked up Yun'er from Shui Qingqing's arms.
Now that he heard Mei Zijin ask, he hurriedly turned around and hugged Yun'er from Shui Qingqing's arms, and said excitedly: "Lord Hou hasn't returned for a night, and both the concubine and Yun'er are worried about you...... He didn't sleep last night, and now when he heard Hou Ye come back, he fell asleep with peace of mind - it seems that Yun'er likes Hou Ye so much that he won't sleep without Hou Ye......"
After that, she looked at the man in front of her with affection, and her eyes seemed to say that she was even more so, and she couldn't do without him.
Bai Lingwei is obviously borrowing a son to invite pet, everyone can see it, but Mei Zijin treats this eldest son as a treasure, and the first thing she said is to ask him with concern, and she can't help but make everyone else envy and envy Bai Lingwei for giving birth to a lovely son.
But they didn't know that Bai Lingwei's so-called good life was taken by her unscrupulous murder!
Shui Qingqing, who was taken away by Bai Lingwei, felt empty again, the whole person seemed to have lost her soul, she stood in a daze, her bright eyes became dim in an instant, and even her whole little face was gray, and she hated Bai Lingwei shamelessly competing for favor with her child, and in her heart, she was afraid that she had never really loved Yun'er, otherwise she would not have pinched her nails into the child's wrist last time......
The more she thought about it, the more hatred in Shui Qingqing's heart grew, and she couldn't wait to expose Bai Lingwei's evil deeds on the spot and ask Yun'er back.
However, no one will believe such an unbelievable evil thing as killing people and snatching children, even if she says it.
Therefore, before she thought of a foolproof solution, she couldn't act rashly, because this matter was very important, and her accident alone was small, but she couldn't affect the Sheng Taiyi family who saved her life......
Seeing Bai Lingwei hugging Yun'er from Shui Qingqing's arms, Mei Zijin looked sideways slightly-
He didn't expect that Bai Lingwei, who had always looked at Shui Qingqing with indifference, would hand over the child to her to hold, and he didn't expect that Brother Yun'er, who had always rejected people, would fall asleep peacefully in Shui Qingqing's arms......
Mei Zijin stretched out his hand to take Brother Yun from Bai Lingwei's arms, and the faint mint fragrance from his nose made him involuntarily look at Shui Qingqing again......
Back in the room, Mei Zijin retreated everyone, leaving only three stones.
Sanshi thought that he was going to inquire about the assassin, but he didn't expect Mei Zijin to ask about the investigation of Shui Qingqing.
He changed out of his bloody middle coat and said coldly: "I asked you to investigate Sheng Yu's matter before, but is there any news?" ”
