Chapter 11: The Threat of the Autumn Pearl

A moment later, the pale-faced Qiu Mingzhu walked in with a cold body. She wore silk shoes on her feet, which she had changed when she had fallen asleep, and had already been soaked in snow along the way, and had stepped on a string of marks on the thick green carpet in the inner room.

She is two years older than Qiu Lulan, and her biological mother is Aunt Tian, because she can't be crowned the county lord, so she can only be called the fourth lady.

Aunt Tian has been semi-out of favor, but a few years ago, she recommended her cousin Aunt Bian to enter the house. Aunt Bian, who is only eighteen years old this year, is like a flower and can sing and dance. Relying on Aunt Bian, this mother and daughter are doing well in the palace.

It is said that Qiu Mengmin once promised that Aunt Bian would give birth to a male heir, and immediately asked her to be crowned a side concubine, which shows Aunt Bian's favor.

“…… It seems that either the Lu family did not wronged Princess Yang; Or is it that Princess Yang reacted with amazing speed, only to know that Qiu Hongzhi had an accident and immediately pushed Aunt Bian out? Qiu Yulan turned his mind in his heart, looked at Qiu Mingzhu who walked in with a cold face and shivering, and thought secretly, "But I can only barely protect myself now, why did Qiu Mingzhu come to me?" ”

Thinking of this, she said gently: "Fourth sister, why did you come to me?" ”

Qiu Mingzhu said urgently: "Fifth sister! Can I hide from you? Just hide until dawn, okay? ”

"Huh?" Qiu Yulan frowned, "What do you mean by this, Fourth Sister?" ”

"The princess wronged Aunt Bian and pushed the eldest brother off the lake!" Before Qiu Mingzhu finished speaking, tears fell, "Grandmother said that the princess instructed Aunt Bian to push the eldest brother down - my mother - Aunt Tian has been arrested by them for interrogation, and Ruyi beside Aunt Bian secretly ran to tell me, I just hid!" ”

Qiu Yulan frowned and said: "Then the fourth sister, you have dragged me down, you also know what my status is in this palace!" You're running here so disheveled, I'm afraid you'll freeze and I'll open the door for you. But, when someone finds you in my house, what do you tell me to say? In this way, even I am going to be dragged into the matter of my eldest brother falling into the lake! ”

"I'll hide until dawn! You are remote here, and it was the princess's people who sent you back just now, and no one may come looking for you! Qiu Mingzhu begged bitterly, "Aunt Bian was really wronged!" You trust me! After daybreak, I went to find my father...... Father will definitely come back to make decisions for Aunt Bian! She promised, "When the time comes, Aunt Bian will not forget your great kindness!" ”

"No way!" Qiu Mingzhu cried so hard that even Su He couldn't bear it, but Qiu Yulan still refused with a heartfelt heart, "Now I have picked up my own life!" You'd better hurry up! ”

As he spoke, he asked Zhou's mother, "Take the coat I made last year, put it on the fourth sister, and send her out!" ”

Mother Zhou is not like Su He, she is also in favor of not wading into this troubled water, and immediately agreed, and took the coat to push Qiu Mingzhu out.

Seeing this, a trace of resentment flashed on Qiu Mingzhu's face: "Do you still have a conscience?!" You're a poor person yourself, why don't you help me? ”

"Because I'm so pathetic!" Qiu Yulan said lightly, "How can you have kung fu to pity others?" ”

Seeing that she didn't feel guilty at all, Qiu Mingzhu broke away from Zhou's mother dragging her hand, and gritted her teeth and said, "Okay!" Since you won't help me, then I'...... I ......"

Su Yiyi listened, hurriedly blocked in front of Qiu Yulan, and looked at her vigilantly, worried that she was going to say: "Then I will fight with you!" Zhou's mother also tried her best to hold on to Qiu Mingzhu and not let go.

As a result, Qiu Mingzhu "me" for a long time, and what she said was: "...... I...... I'll die for you! ”

"Flutter", Qiu Yulan and Su He were both amused, Qiu Yulan seemed to hear someone outside the back window also chuckling at the same time, but she was covered by her and Su He's laughter, her heart moved slightly, and she was secretly glad that she didn't agree to Qiu Mingzhu.

At this moment, let Su He go up and hold Qiu Mingzhu together: "Then I don't dare to keep you, I'm used to living in this yard and I really don't want to change places." Fourth sister, let me go, after all, we used to stay in our own yards, and we haven't taken a few photos. It's not easy for you to hide in this huge palace, but you want to embarrass me, do you think it's unreasonable? ”

"There was no fire in those houses......"

"Did I give you the coat?" Qiu Yulan intercepted, "My boots are too small for you to wear, if you are not satisfied with the bed quilt walking, but you can't stay here!" ”

Qiu Mingzhu's eyes showed resentment, she walked to the door, suddenly turned around, and said viciously: "If I am caught, I will say that you persuade me to stay with you, and run out of the house after dawn to find my father!" You don't help me, and you still want to stay out of it? That's a dream! ”

Su He and Zhou's mother's faces changed color at the same time!

Mother Zhou, who is not good at verbal disputes, is angry: "Fourth Miss, my county lord has limited ability, and he has taken good care of you - you, how can you be like this?!" ”

"Humph! That's how I am, either you leave me and help me hide until dawn, and help me get out of the house to find my father. Qiu Mingzhu sneered and said, "Otherwise, I will go to the princess and say that you persuaded me like this!" ”

"There is a saying that the poor must have something to hate." Qiu Yulan smiled to stop what Su He was about to say, and said to her kindly, "Do you know why I didn't pity her just now?" ”

Su He said angrily: "Don't let her in earlier!" ”

"County Lord, what now?" Mother Zhou looked at Qiu Mingzhu hatefully and asked.

Qiu Yulan looked at Qiu Mingzhu, who was fearless, and said with interest: "What else can I do?" Isn't Big Brother an example? Strip her coat and throw it into the lake! Frozen to death...... That's suicide in fear of sin! ”

Qiu Mingzhu was shocked: "You ......!" ”

Su He hurriedly asked, "What if you don't freeze to death?" ”

"Then press her into the lake first and simply drown!" Qiu Yulan smiled, "Anyway, it's the same death, I don't think the fourth sister counts so much, right?" Taking advantage of the fact that it is now quiet at night, and I am attracted by the incident of my eldest brother falling into the lake, you can go with Mother Zhou to get things done...... I remember no one came in tonight! ”

"Wait!" Seeing that Zhou's mother and Su He seemed to be about to agree, Qiu Mingzhu was finally shocked and shouted, "Aren't you afraid that your father will find out and let you pay for my life?" ”

"I am the lord of the county, and you are a concubine. Your life is not worth my life! Qiu Yulan said lightly, "Besides, the eldest brother doesn't know what to do now, and Aunt Bian is involved again." Do you think the eldest uncle still has the kung fu to control you?! ”

Despair flashed in Qiu Mingzhu's eyes, and when she saw Su He reaching out to take a heavy copper lampstand nearby, she was really anxious, and hurriedly said, "I'm joking, how could I slander you?" You've helped me, and I'm too late to thank you – wait! I know a secret! ”
