"Chen Da has a nephew named Chen Xian, who also works in the mansion. Chen Xian has recently become friendly with a little lady in the West Courtyard, who is the hug qin in Concubine Lin's courtyard, and has reached the point of talking about marriage. However, according to Chen Xian's confession, he said that Baoqin disliked his small monthly money and thin family background, and privately lobbied him to use his uncle Chen Da's authority to take care of the treasury to get some oil and water, for example, to secretly exchange the best tea leaves for sale, and buy some ordinary goods outside to fill it. Chen Da also knew about this matter, but because of his nephew's filial piety, he kept turning a blind eye. Chen Da and Chen Xian both said that they didn't know where the tea poison came from, and that Baoqin asked Concubine Lin for leave because of something at home a few days ago, and he had been away from the house for a few days. ”

As for that Jin Qiao, she had already confessed that she was instructed by someone, but the person she identified was Aunt Liu. She said that at that time, Aunt Liu drove her away, but it was just a play, because Aunt Liu got some news in advance and wanted to install people in the main courtyard, so she gave her property and acted in such a double reed. Then, Aunt Liu looked for her privately and asked her to help drug the princess. At that time, Jin Qiao's brother owed other people's gambling debts, and the family was very short of money, so Jin Qiao agreed to the deal. ”

"There is also that Chu Er, although he has not confessed yet, but it has been found out that when Jin Qiao was driven out of the yard by Aunt Liu, when he was assigned to do chores in the garden, he had an intersection with this Chu Er, and the two became familiar with each other. Moreover, because the old lady is used to offering flowers in front of the small Buddha hall, Chu Er often goes to the north courtyard to send flowers, since Aunt Qin went to the north courtyard to serve the old lady, because Aunt Qin herself also has the skill of conditioning flowers and trees, after obtaining the consent of the old lady, she opened a small round in the north courtyard to plant flowers, and then Chu Er rarely went to the north courtyard. ”

The teenager does not speak quickly, speaks clearly, and speaks in an extremely orderly manner. When he had finished his return, he stood down with his hands tied and waited for the dispatch.

Qi Heng listened quietly all the time, and only then did he conclude coldly: "So, everyone in this backyard is suspicious?" ”

The little fat man didn't understand it, but he understood his father's words, and he also heard Concubine Lin, Aunt Liu, Aunt Qin and others mentioned in the mouth of this little brother. He hadn't seen those women much, but he knew that they were his father's little wives, which he overheard when he complained in private. He intuitively felt that Ah Liang didn't like these women, but he didn't understand why.

Beiyan and Bai Lu were all startled, and then looked at Pei Baoer a little nervously.

Pei Baoer couldn't see any change on her face, not because of the sequelae of poisoning, but because of some unexpected surprise, she fell into a kind of "why should women be embarrassed by women", sadness and numbness.

She stared at the young man blankly, feeling a little familiar, a little like the young man in the Yousheng bookstore that sold dog meat with a sheep's head last winter, but it was a little different, and she said, maybe it was two brothers, or maybe they would be disguised or something, and the dark guards were a bunch of magical creatures.

Thinking about it like this, her previous curiosity about the identity of the person who poisoned her was gone. What's the point of doing it by one of the three, or if multiple people join forces? Left and right are just the traps of the backhouse battle that she is most tired of and least wants to fall into.

Qi Heng saw her look sad, thinking that she was tired, so he waved the young man away, and ordered Beiyan to serve Pei Bao'er to wash and rest, but he got up and went out.

When Beiyan wiped Pei Bao'er's hands and face with a hot towel, he said in pieces: "The prince is also kind to the master, but now the real murderer is unknown, and the slave feels in her heart that our yard is like a tiger's den in Longtan, and it is impossible to live at ease, but fortunately, the prince is sympathetic to the master......"

Pei Bao'er remembered later, yes, this is Qi Heng's own bedroom. She took his place, so where will he sleep tonight? But don't come and share a bed with her, do you?

Thinking of this possibility, she was even more in a bad mood, and she didn't respond to Beiyan's thoughts, and the whole person was like a clay wood carving. Of course, in the eyes of Beiyan, he will only feel that his master is the most beautiful porcelain doll, not comparable to the clay sculpture Bodhisattva in the broken temple in the mountains.

Fortunately, Qi Heng didn't come to harass her that night, but she was preoccupied, and finally fell asleep under the effect of the bowl of medicinal soup before going to bed.

When Pei Baoer woke up again, the sun was already high.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw her fat son lying on the side of her bed napping, still holding a book in his hand, and a line of unknown liquid flowing from the corner of his mouth, as if he had been asleep for a long time.

She couldn't help but be a little angry, although it was a July day, but she was thinly dressed, so she slept like this for fear of catching a cold, and the child was not sensible, why didn't Beiyan look at it?

"Northern Goose, you-"

As soon as the words came out, she was pleasantly surprised to find that she had finally gotten rid of the situation of being dumb, that is, her voice was extremely hoarse, which was not very good.

Look, this rough voice scared the little fat man awake.

"Ah Liang, are you awake?" His fleshy little hands rubbed his eyes and muttered childishly.

Pei Baoer subconsciously wanted to take his hand, and taught him earnestly: "Don't rub your eyes, it's easy to get inflamed......"

Then she regretted that the stiffness of her limbs had only improved a little, so she could only retreat to the next best thing, and patted the little fat man's hand that was really rubbing his eyes very inflexibly, and wiped his saliva stiffly, and tried to touch his forehead to see if there were any signs of fever.

"What about Aunt Beiyan?"

The little fat man said: "Dad asked people to be executed at the gate of the main courtyard, and called everyone to go to see it." Aunt Beiyan also went, leaving two sisters here, one just went to boil medicine for Ah Liang, and the other one, I don't know......"

Hearing the word "execution", Pei Bao'er thought of something bad, couldn't help frowning, looked up at the sky again, and said in surprise: "This point, didn't your father go to the court?" Eh, and you, you don't have to go to school today? I remember, today is not a day off, is it? ”

The little fat man was unashamed: "Dad has already come back from the court, and he also helped me ask for leave from the master." Ah Liang, you don't know, I'm so worried, I couldn't sleep last night when I thought about it......"

Because the little fat man didn't sleep well, when he didn't return to Beijing, he would always kick the quilt and roll or something when he slept with Pei Baoer, and sometimes Pei Baoer could be kicked awake by him when he slept well. I don't know if Qi Heng knows the bad habits of this little fat man, so he resolutely refuses to let him sleep with Pei Bao'er, even if he howls for two nights when he first returns home, not to mention that Pei Bao'er is still sick this time, he can't be disturbed by his sleep.

Although Pei Baoer stayed away from her son's Foshan shadowless feet and sleeping fists, her heart was still very warm when she heard this.

She hesitated for a moment before asking, "Who is the executioner, have you heard your father say it?" ”

The little fat man frowned at the pair of faint eyebrows and thought, "There are several people, but I don't know them, it seems that there is a ...... called gold."

Gold? Jin Qiao?

Pei Bao'er's pupils shrank, has this been found out?

At this time, after a slight commotion outside the yard, Beiyan walked in with a mermaid, and was even more overjoyed to see her wake up, just glimpsing that there was no one around, and couldn't help but raise her voice and scold a few words, saying that the two little girls were useless, lazy, and cloudy.

Under the fat son's decent "support", Pei Baoer got up slowly, put on a coat, and said in a dumb voice: "Okay, don't be busy scolding, go get some water to let me wash my face first." ”

After being so busy, and serving some porridge and side dishes, Beiyan found time to report to her about today's execution.

"Master, you don't know, today the prince gave a death order, so that all the subordinates in each court went to watch the execution. It's all stuffed with nothing in their mouths, and the beating is so bad, the slave and maid looked, several people in the West Courtyard were scared and weak, and after the execution, those few couldn't walk......"

"That one named Jin Qiao, who usually looks honest and gentle, didn't expect it to be such a harboring evil intention, and teaming up with the Liu family to harm you! She works in the main courtyard, and we didn't treat her badly. Not to mention the matter of the money, the new goods in the workshop were delivered to the house at that time, and they didn't have a copy of these little girls? Since the family is short of money, when you talk to the master, can the master not be kind enough to help her? The Liu family is just a small maid, even if she has been an aunt for a few years, the prince is not close, how thick can the things in his hands be? ”

"Speaking of which, that Liu family is too, people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, in the past, she was like slaves and maids, and then she ascended to the sky and gave birth to a little county lord, it is not enough, and she wants to murder you, it's really stupid! She doesn't want to think about it, a generous and generous housewife like you, how many can there be in the capital, even if you are not, her lowly status, is it possible to fly on the branches and become a phoenix? ”

Bei Yanxin is straightforward and fast-talking, and his speech speed is not slow, such a series is like a machine gun, which makes Pei Baoer a little dizzy when he hears it.

"Wait, you're saying that this matter was finally found out, and it was the Liu clan who masterminded it?"

Beiyan nodded solemnly.

Pei Bao'er said suspiciously: "Didn't you say yesterday that Jin Qiao just did something in the book?" Isn't the tea thing related to the piano in the Lin family's yard? And what kind of ...... of the Seven Star Flowers?"

"It is said that the Liu family also bought the hugqin, and Concubine Lin is also unaware of this matter." Beiyan explained: "In addition, the matter of the Seven Star Flowers, looking at the Chu Er in the garden is really innocent." I heard that he was brought to trial yesterday for a long time, and he has not let go. That, Lord Dark Guard used some means, but he couldn't stand it, so he recruited it. As a result, I asked the details again later, and what he said was not right, and it was very suspicious. Later, he took a confession directly from Liu's family, and only then did he return Chu Er's innocence. It turned out that that guy was really just lazy after stealing a few times, and he had some money on the purchase list, so he kept struggling and didn't dare to tell the truth. ”

Pei Bao'er said angrily: "What you said is in the clouds, are you deliberately making me anxious?" ”

Beiyan smiled and explained carefully, saying that Chu Er was lazy and did not weed on time, and later saw that the grass was very beautiful, much simpler than the delicate and easy to die flowers and trees he had taken care of, and secretly pulled out some seven-star grass and transplanted it to other corners, and applied for many precious flower seeds on the grounds that the flowers and trees were sick and dead, and then took out the house to exchange money to buy wine and food.

Pei Baoer couldn't help but smile and shook her head, this person has caused a lot of trouble for himself in order to make a small profit.

Beiyan tried to bring the conversation back to the right path, but the way she provoked the conversation was a little peculiar.

"Speaking of which, the master didn't like bamboo in the past, so he planted a small bamboo forest in the corner of the garden, and liked to sit there when he had nothing to do. Later, after the disappearance of the master, according to Sister Bai Lu, the prince would go up there from time to time to take a turn when he saw things and thought about people. ”

Speaking of this, Bei Yan deliberately paused, and sure enough, the smile on Pei Bao'er's face was a little stagnant.

She continued: "It's just that the news in this mansion spreads quickly, and several people in the West Courtyard have also figured out the prince's preferences, so they also like to go to the garden from time to time, especially the bamboo forest, and they look forward to meeting the prince there." I heard that once, the Liu family was still crying at the moon there, sad for the princess, and happened to be hit by the prince. The words were full of mockery.

Pei Baoer raised her eyebrows, she didn't know anything about this section.

Beiyan hurriedly explained to Qi Heng: "Where would the prince be confused by such a subordinate method, he reprimanded the Liu family immediately, and he didn't set foot in the bamboo forest much later." It's just that a few people in the West Courtyard are still thieves, especially the Liu family, who will take the little county lord to play there from time to time. Later, when you returned home, the Liu family was disappointed, and they were worried that you would hate the past, so they thought about making the first move. She knew you might be there, so she thought of a roundabout idea. The grass seed was planted there by her, and even her personal maid didn't know it. ”

This makes sense, but Pei Baoer always felt weird in her heart.
