Shui Qingqing's 'throwing' of the white jade box into the water not only reached the ears of the old lady, but also Mei Zijin knew about it. Immediately, his face blackened.

Sanshi carefully reminded on the side: "Master, since Miss Biao knows that it was Master who accepted her rouge box, I am afraid that she will come to the door to ask for it...... Do you want to give her back the box? ”

Disturbed, Mei Zijin recalled that she had come to the mourning hall to find the box. Now that she knows that she picked up her box but didn't return it, what will she think of him?

Will you think he's a villain who doesn't return his belongings!?

For the first time, his frosty face felt hot. Mei Zijin raised the official document in his hand to cover his annoyed face, and said in a muffled voice: "If she dares to come and ask for it, Ben Hou will dare to return it!" ”

Sanshi tilted his head and thought for a while, and hesitated: "What the master means is that if she has a ghost in her heart, she doesn't dare to come to the master to return the box." On the contrary, if she is open in her heart, she dares to come and ask for the box. ”

Mei Zijin put down the official document, nodded his head, and said with relief: "Well, it's finally enlightened!" ”

After receiving the praise, Sanshi smiled embarrassedly, and said, "Then according to Hou Ye's guess, how sure is she that she will come?" ”

Her eyes sank, and Mei Zijin hooked her lips and said firmly: "Yicheng didn't - she didn't dare to come!" ”

On that day, Bai Junfeng suddenly took out the letterhead of the private meeting and slandered Shui Qingqing for writing a letter to her, but Mei Zijin only knew at a glance that the letterhead was fake.

It's not that the handwriting on the letterhead doesn't match, it's because the handwriting is too similar.

Since the Snow Wolf Dog incident, Mei Zijin has confirmed that Shui Qingqing is not Sheng Yu.

Since they are not the same person, how could the handwriting on the letterhead that is almost exactly the same as Sheng Yu's be written by her?

Later, when he saw that she was determined to break the pen tube, and would rather endure the slander and confession, than write, he made him sure of her identity.

There was no need to doubt it, he was 100% sure that she was definitely not Sheng Yu herself!

Since she is not Sheng Yu, her true identity is related to this old rouge box that she is wearing closely.

And as smart as she is, in order to hide her true identity, she will not dare to come to him to ask him for the box......

But if she didn't come and ask herself for the box, would he have to keep the rouge box and not return it to her?

Inside, he couldn't help but get entangled.

In this way, Mei Zijin stayed in her Siyi Courtyard all day, and concluded that Shui Qingqing did not dare to come, but she was silently waiting for her to come......

However, until the sky fell dark, the door of Siyiyuan was never knocked.

While lighting the lamps and candles in the room, Sanshi admired Mei Zijin, who had been sitting silently for an afternoon: "Ye is really like a god - she really didn't dare to come and ask for her box, which shows that she really has a ghost in her heart." ”

Hearing this, Mei Zijin had mixed feelings in his heart.

It stands to reason that he should have been happy that he could completely recognize Shui Qingqing's identity, but at this time, his heart was inexplicably blocked, and there were endless doubts-

Heh, it turns out that what she said to Bai Lingwei before was true, she really didn't like herself......

Since she is not Sheng Yu, who is she, and what is her relationship with the assassin who entered the mansion to assassinate?

Could it be that she was really a meticulous work sent into the Hou Mansion by the Assassins?

Looking at the dark night outside the window, Mei Zijin's expression was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Sanshi, if you are asked to kill the snow wolf dog of Princess Leyi, how sure are you that one move will be fatal?" ”

Sanshi understood that he was guessing Shui Qingqing's true background, and said seriously: "The snow wolf dog is aggressive and ferocious, and its attack power is also amazing-his subordinates are seventy percent sure that they can kill it with one sword, but it's just ......"

The rest of the words, Sanshi didn't say it, but Mei Zijin continued to say it.

His eyes were far-reaching, and he said in a deep voice: "It's just that if it were you, you would cut off the beast's head with a sword at most, relying on the strength of the martial arts practitioner and the advantage of your long sword." But if you are given an ordinary fruit peeling melon and fruit knife, and you will fight the beast in close quarters, and you will have to kill it with a knife, and accurately cut its deadliest throat, I am afraid that you will only be fifty percent sure. ”

Sanshi knelt down on one knee and said embarrassedly: "Master Hou is wise, his subordinates are ashamed!" ”

Waving his hand to let him get up, Mei Zijin's eyes fell on the dancing candlelight in front of him, and said coldly word by word: "A weak woman who doesn't know martial arts, but can kill the snow wolf dog with skill and ease, it is really difficult for Ben Hou not to doubt." ”

Sanshi said in a deep voice: "My subordinates will definitely send someone to keep a good watch on Tingsheng Yuan, and we will definitely be able to find evidence of her collusion with the assassins." ”

Early the next morning, Mei Zijin learned that Shui Qingqing had left the mansion and returned to the Sheng family to give a New Year's gift, and Sanshi immediately sent someone to follow silently to see if she would meet the assassin outside the mansion.

Before noon, Shui Qingqing and Xiaoxi returned to the Hou Mansion, and Mei Zijin sent people who followed her to come back and tell him in detail about her outing, and there was nothing suspicious.

Hearing the announcement, Mei Zijin breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably.

Subconsciously, he didn't want her to really become his enemy......

Reaching for the bottom drawer of the desk, an old rouge box sits silently.

After staring at the box for a long time, Mei Zijin picked up the box again and looked at it, but except for the mark of the Jade Village on the bottom of the box, he couldn't find any other clues.

Before Sanshi came to report, twenty years ago, the eighteen female dependents who went to the feast in the East Palace and were given a gold rouge box by the then crown princess, some of them passed away, and some of them were displaced from their families, but most of them became the housewife of the Hou's family, the richest and most powerful general of the Great Jin Dynasty.

Therefore, it is impossible to check whether the rouge box is still in everyone's hand one by one.

In other words, it is impossible to find out her identity by relying on this rouge box.

In this case, it doesn't make much sense for him to keep this box - it's better to take the initiative to return it to her.

After thinking about it, Mei Zijin was about to call Sanshi into the house and ask him to find an opportunity to return the rouge box back to Tingsheng Courtyard, when Sanshi came in from outside and said, "Master, the old lady invited the matchmaker to come into the house to talk to Miss Cousin, and asked Master Hou to go over together to discuss the selection of a family with the right door for Miss Cousin." ”

Hearing this, Mei Zijin's hand holding the box suddenly tightened.

He frowned and said coldly, "Why did the old lady suddenly think of finding someone to match her?" ”

Sanshi hesitated for a moment, and then cautiously hesitated: "My subordinates think, the left and right are just the nearest ...... in the mansion False rumors about Miss Biao and Hou Ye...... The old lady was worried, so she thought about marrying Miss Cousin. ”

Mei Zijinjun's face darkened, he got up and threw off his robe and walked out, and said in a cold voice: "The Marquis of Chuanben strictly ordered, if you find someone spreading rumors in private, you will be beaten to death with a stick - no matter who it is!" ”

When Mei Zijin arrived at the Shi'an Academy, except for Bai Lingwei, who was grounded, and Shui Qingqing, who had just returned home and had not had time to arrive, everyone else was there.

When Mei Zijin entered the room with a cold face, a middle-aged woman was standing in the center of the room with a half-bowed body, two thin mouths flying up and down, chattering to the old lady and the three aunts, introducing the suitable marriage man she had prepared for Shui Qingqing.

Seeing Mei Zijin come in, except for the old lady, everyone stood up respectfully and saluted him.

His eyes fell coldly on the matchmaker, and the chilling aura exuded from his body made the matchmaker's mother tense all over, and cold sweat began to break out on her body inexplicably.

The old lady beckoned him to come over, and said solemnly: "Mother has been thinking about it for the past two days, although our Hou Mansion is not afraid of raising Sheng Yatou, but after all, she is a girl's family, and she can't bury a lifetime of happiness just because of her unsuccessful marriage with your eldest brother." So after discussing with a few aunts, I felt that it was better to help her find a suitable family to marry, which was her real destination. So I called the matchmaker to kiss her - what do you think? ”

Hearing the old lady mention her aunts, Mei Zijin's heart sank, and her eyes crossed the three of the Tang family coldly.

Tang Wanqing saw him coming, and the expression on her face was as calm as ever. Lan Qin also smiled indifferently at him with a calm face. Only Tang Qianqian looked at Mei Zijin's eyes, and when she looked at Mei Zijin's eyes, she moved her eyes weakly, lowered her head and fiddled with the lid of the tea bowl in her hand, not daring to look at his eyes.

With a clear understanding in her heart, Mei Zijin withdrew her eyes and lifted her robe and sat down, and said indifferently: "Everything is up to my mother!" ”

With his words, the old lady couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in her heart, and even the other people in the room secretly relaxed.

The old lady asked the matchmaker to continue to introduce suitable men. Pei's mother said more than a dozen families with the right door in one breath, and the old lady selected five of them, looked out of the house with her eyes, and said, "Why can't Sheng girl come over?" ”

While talking, Mama came to report, and Miss Cousin came.

In an instant, the eyes of everyone in the room fell on the door. The door curtain was lifted, and Shui Qingqing led the maid Xiaoxi in.

Shui Qingqing knew on the way here that the old lady had invited a matchmaker into the house to say matchmaking for herself, so when she came into the house, she saw a room of people and a woman born in the middle, her heart was cold, but her face was respectfully stepped forward to ask the old lady and Mei Zijin for peace.

After she sat down, the old lady asked Pei's mother to explain the situation of the five families she was satisfied with to Shui Qingqing one by one, and finally said: "When I left you in the Hou Mansion, the old man said that as long as you want, you can remarry and leave the Hou Mansion, and our Hou Mansion will never stop you - now Pei's mother comes to the door to tell you the matchmaker, these people's families, do you have your own favorite?" ”

I have to say that the five families that the old lady selected for her, regardless of family background or character, are in good condition in all aspects, and they are more than enough for her.

But for Shui Qingqing, who has never thought of remarrying, no matter how good a family is, for her, it is all in vain and extravagant.

Her heart was cold, but on her face, she calmly raised her eyes and smiled at the old lady: "I believe in the old lady's vision, but the old lady is the master for me - it's just that I have a small condition." ”

Hearing her agree, not only the old lady was surprised, but even the other three aunts and matchmakers were quite surprised.

From the time Shui Qingqing came in, Mei Zijin drank tea with her eyelids half-closed, as if everything that happened around her had nothing to do with him, only after hearing her refreshing sip, the hand holding the teacup tightened slightly.

He still remembers that in the mourning hall that day, she stood in front of her brother's coffin, insisting on combing her brother's final burial bun to show her determination not to marry again.

But in the past two months, she changed her mind and was willing to remarry?

Of course, Mei Zijin knew that according to her intelligence, she knew that the Hou Mansion could not tolerate her, so she agreed to marry.

But has she ever thought that once the marriage is agreed, she can't regret the marriage and change it?!

Moreover, no matter how difficult it is for her to have children, if she lets her husband's family know that she can't have children, her life will undoubtedly be on the tip of a knife......

Just like the last time I heard Lu Lin talk about how difficult it was for her to have children, Mei Zijin's heart couldn't help but ache again......

On the other side, the old lady looked at Shui Qingqing with satisfaction, and said kindly: "What conditions do you have, as long as our Hou Mansion can do it, it must depend on you!" ”

Shui Qingqing pressed the chill in her heart and smiled indifferently: "My eldest sister and second sister are about to get married." I hope that the old lady can stay in the Hou Mansion for a few more days, and then marry me out of the Hou Mansion after the two sisters get married. ”

The words 'marrying out of the Hou Mansion', Shui Qingqing said very heavily.

She knew that the so-called marriage was just because this Hou Mansion could no longer accommodate her, and everyone, like Bai Lingwei, was looking forward to driving her away as soon as possible.

Looking at the people in the house who were looking forward to driving her out of the Hou Mansion, Shui Qingqing sneered in her heart, in the eyes of these people, everyone thought that she was greedy for the supreme glory and wealth of the Hou Mansion, but she didn't know how much she hated everything here in her heart.

If it weren't for Yun'er, she would only wish not to set foot here for the rest of her life.

Hearing this, Mei Zijin finally couldn't help but raise her eyes, and looked coldly at Shui Qingqing, who was sitting at the end of the bottom, her deep eyes were as deep as an abyss.

She sat there quietly, with a look of disappointment and resentment towards what the people of the Hou Mansion did, let alone a trace of nostalgia, describing it as calm without a trace of waves, as if she didn't pay attention to today's mediator at all, and she never looked at the people of the Hou Mansion in her eyes, and her slightly raised lips were even more ironic in his eyes!

His heart froze slightly, was she so indifferent to everything here?!

And after listening to Shui Qingqing's request, the old lady was also stunned.

The old lady used to make a difficult request for Shui Qingqing, refusing to marry by retreating, but she didn't expect that she not only agreed to remarry in one go, but the request was also reasonable, and it didn't make her embarrassed.

In this way, she is not as entangled with Zijin as the rumors say.

In this way, the old lady hesitated.

Seeing that Shui Qingqing agreed, the matchmaker's mother smiled happily: "Miss Pei, don't worry, I will definitely choose the best family for you, and I will give you the letter in three days!" ”

Looking at Pei's mother's flattering appearance, Shui Qingqing seemed to see the matchmaker who was the matchmaker for herself and the Wang family back then.

At that time, the matchmaker didn't talk about how good the Wang family was, but what was the result......

The sad past came back to her heart, Shui Qingqing suppressed the discomfort in her heart, got up and said goodbye, and let the old lady continue to discuss her marriage, as if everything had nothing to do with her......

After leaving the Shi'an Hospital, Xiaoxi said anxiously: "Didn't Miss say that she would leave the Hou Mansion in just a year, why did you agree to the marriage arranged by the Hou Mansion for you at this time?" ”

Shui Qingqing's heart was desolate, and she smiled bitterly: "You have also seen the situation just now - even the old lady believed the rumors and did not dare to let me stay in the Hou Mansion for a long time, if I refused to remarry at this time, wouldn't it make them think that I was a thief to the Hou Ye even more." In this case, we must not drive our master and servant out of the house overnight? ”

"And the eldest lady and the second lady are about to get married, if I am driven back by the Hou Mansion at this time, I am afraid that it will affect the marriage of the two young ladies. So, at this time, no matter what they say, I will agree - everything, just wait for the two young ladies to marry peacefully. ”

Xiaoxi looked at her and said bitterly: "But in this way, the young lady herself will be wronged." The matchmaker said that although the family background is very good, but marrying a young lady is either a concubine or a continuation, and none of them are serious...... Once the time comes, the young lady will have to marry. ”

Thinking of her first two marriages, Shui Qingqing's heart swelled with endless sourness, and she smiled sadly: "Don't worry, even if I am willing to marry now, I am afraid that in this capital, few people are willing to marry me - my marriage will be so smooth." ”

Having said that, Shui Qingqing's heart was like a bottomless pit, and there was no landing.

What if someone takes a fancy to the power of the Hou Mansion and wants to have a relationship with the Hou Mansion and is willing to marry him?

She just wants to leave with Yun'er, and she doesn't want to cause trouble anymore, so of course the marriage can't be done.

Distraught returned to Tingsheng Academy, Shui Qingqing, who hadn't slept all night last night, was dizzy and was just about to lie down to rest, Tang Wanqing came to Tingsheng Courtyard to find her.

Tang Wanqing is gentle, kind, and never bullies them, and is Xiaoxi's favorite among several aunts.

Thinking that Shui Qingqing was in distress, Aunt Tang came to talk to her at this time and untie her, so Xiao Xixi went straight to Shui Qingqing's bedroom and said: "Auntie came just in time, my young lady is suffering, and there is no one to talk to." ”

But Shui Qingqing saw Tang Wanqing who pushed the door in, but her eyes sank.

Tang Wanqing opened the food box she brought, took out the red plum cake inside and put it on the small table in front of Shui Qingqing, and smiled with concern: "This is the cake I made with this year's Xinmei, it's not very sweet and greasy, my sister eats a piece and tastes it." ”

Shui Qingqing looked at the delicate and beautiful pastries on the plate, hooked her lips and smiled: "Auntie is really ingenious, even red plums can be taken out to make flower cakes, this ingenuity is unparalleled." ”

said this, but Shui Qingqing reached out and pushed the pastry away.

Tang Wanqing's face froze slightly, but the next breath was a soft persuasion with pity: "I know that my sister is uncomfortable, and she suffers these wrongs for no reason...... If you don't want to get married, why don't you beg for it...... Hou Ye?! ”

Hearing her mention Mei Zijin, Shui Qingqing couldn't help but think again that after she was bullied by Bai Lingwei and vomited blood and fainted, when she woke up, she kept persuading herself like this, telling herself that Mei Zijin would definitely not agree to Bai Lingwei's suggestion to let herself marry Bai Junfeng.

At that time, she hadn't felt anything yet, thinking that she was trying to persuade her to settle down, but since she discovered the truth of some things, she realized that everything Tang Wanqing said was not accidental.

She seemed to have seen through everything, and expected that Mei Zijin would not agree to the Bai siblings' suggestion, and even encouraged herself to believe and trust Mei Zijin and get closer to him......

However, Tang Wanqing will not know that according to her current identity, every step she takes closer to Mei Zijin is to get closer to danger, and even now, she doesn't even have a place in the Hou Mansion......

Raising her eyes and quietly looking at Tang Wanqing, who looked pious, Shui Qingqing smiled coldly and said slowly: "Why do you want to ask Master Hou?" Could it be that my aunt also believed those rumors, thinking that I had an adulterous affair with Hou Ye, and was sure that Hou Ye would help me? ”

Tang Wanqing was startled, her eyes looked at Shui Qingqing with an indifferent face in panic, and said with a smile: "My sister said what she said there, I don't believe any of those rumors...... I just think that Master Hou is the head of the Hou Mansion, and only he can help Miss Biao speak...... And I, who are soft-spoken, even if I want to help Miss Cousin, I have no heart to ......"

"Aunt Fang Cai and Master Hou are both present - if you want to help me, Fang Cai will help, you don't have to wait until now."

Shui Qingqing's pun made Tang Wanqing's face completely pale.

And her next words made Tang Wanqing's expression change greatly.

"Aunt Tang, I know that the person you hate is Bai Lingwei, but if you want to use me as a gunman to help you deal with Bai Lingwei, I'm afraid that you'll find the wrong person——"

"You also saw it today, I am like a rootless duckweed in this Hou Mansion, helpless, how can I compete with Bai Lingwei, who has a huge power and an heir, and has children? ! Therefore, my aunt should give up on me, and find someone else! ”

From learning about Tang Wanqing's miscarriage a year ago, and then thinking of Tang Wanqing's suppressed hatred every time she mentioned her miscarriage, Shui Qingqing finally determined something.

Tang Wanqing likes twigs very much, and the cuffs and collars of almost every piece of clothing are embroidered, and the black hand who pushed Shui Qingqing off the carriage on the grave mountain that day, Shui Qingqing didn't see it clearly, but vaguely remembered seeing the sleeves embroidered with twigs in the corner......

Before, she also suspected Tang Wanqing, but she couldn't think of her motives - she had no grudges or hatred with her, and even at that time, they didn't even officially say a word, why did she harm herself?

Later, she finally understood that Tang Wanqing hated Bai Lingwei, she did not say that her miscarriage was a blessing as she said, but firmly believed that it was Bai Lingwei who caused her miscarriage and lost her child.

Therefore, Tang Wanqing also hated Yun'er, hated her for saving Yun'er on the grave mountain, so she would take advantage of the chaos to push her down in the carriage......

Hearing this, Tang Wanqing's face changed completely, her eyes looked at Shui Qingqing with heavy eyes, and she reluctantly smiled and said, "I can't understand what my sister said......

"Didn't my aunt already know that the white jade box was sent by Master Hou, so she deliberately borrowed mint cream from me in front of everyone?!"

Stopping her words, Shui Qingqing looked at Tang Wanqing, whose expression had changed greatly, with cold eyes, and sneered: "Aunt wants to use this matter to provoke Bai Lingwei to do something to me, the snipe and the clam fight, and the fisherman profits." Bai Lingwei was grounded, and my aunt tasted the sweetness of revenge, but I didn't expect that I, who was used as a gun by you, would not be spared from being kicked out of the Hou Mansion - my aunt is reluctant to let me use this good gun now? ”

The warm and spring-like room was as cold as an ice cave in an instant, and the air seemed to be frozen.

Tang Wanqing, who has always been gentle and kind, exuded a terrible chilling aura all over her body, and gritted her teeth with a pale little face and said hatefully: "Yes, you are right. I hate Bai Lingwei, my child was killed by her, I will not let her go, I will definitely avenge my poor child - whether it is her or that wild seed, I will not let go! ”

The word 'wild seed' made Shui Qingqing's whole body tremble-

Could it be that Tang Wanqing actually knew...... Isn't Yun'er the child of Mei Zijin and Bai Lingwei?
