A few days later, Qiu Mengmin instructed his eldest son Qiu Hongzhi to invite Deng Yi to Xihe Palace: "I heard that Brother Deng Xian is also going to the township to test this autumn?" The foolish brother also has this intention, so he takes the liberty of inviting the virtuous brother to come and confirm each other's homework, and then he can be more sure. ”

Deng Yi was actually willing to leave the Guangyang Palace's Purification Society, and he was not disgusted by his invitation, and said: "What Brother Qiu Xian said is true, but Yi is a shallow learner, and I hope that Brother Xian will not laugh at it." ”

"Brother Xian's words are too humble, who doesn't know that Brother Xian is talented? If it weren't for the name of Yuan, I'm afraid it would have been named on the gold list two years ago. Qiu Hongzhi thought that his father's order was to let him get closer to his future cousin-in-law, so he was very relaxed and invited him into his study with a smile.

Both of them are talents to be examined, although they are said to go to different places for the exam, and the examiner's preferences are not necessarily the same, but they also have a common language.

Especially Deng Yicaixue is obviously above Qiu Hongzhi, at first Qiu Hongzhi still had the intention of building a good relationship, and after a deep talk, he was in awe of him, but he seriously asked for advice.

So on this day, the exchange lasted until the evening, and Deng Yicai said goodbye in Qiu Hongzhi's repeated retention.

Next, Qiu Hongzhi often invited Deng Yi to come over the house - this Jiang family wanted to turn the capital upside down in order to track down the murderer of Qiu Jinglan, but the two assassins were prepared, and they couldn't find any clues on their bodies, and the Queen Mother naturally refused to admit it.

And the queen party couldn't find evidence and was unwilling, so they simply began to dig over old accounts.

However, the old accounts are not owned by the Queen Mother's party, so the second queen was pinched together again, and the government and the opposition followed the rumors. As the queen mother's home, Guangyang Wangfu is naturally very busy. Knowing that Deng Yi went to Xihe Wangfu, he inquired twice, and found that the two of them had hardly said anything except for the autumn test, so they put it aside.

After three or five times like this, Deng Yi was already a little familiar with the Xihe Mansion when he returned to the Xihe Palace.

On this day, he wrote a new article, and specially brought it over to analyze it with Qiu Hongzhi - who knew that halfway through the analysis, a maid hurriedly ran in and said: "The eldest son, the young lady seems to have started!" ”

"What?!" Qiu Hongzhi jumped up suddenly, he didn't even have time to put on his shoes, and he ran two steps before he remembered to explain to Deng Yi, "Brother Xian, I ......"

"Brother, go! But I hope my sister-in-law and mother and son are safe! Deng Yi came in and out a few times, and also heard that Qiu Hongzhi's wife was indeed about to give birth, but he just happened to catch up, and he knew that Qiu Hongzhi was a father for the first time, so naturally he would not blame him for neglecting himself now. He was about to say goodbye, and wanted to pack up a congratulatory gift after going back, but Qiu Hongzhi turned around and left after an explanation, and didn't give him a chance to speak at all!

Deng Yi, who was left alone, couldn't help but be a little embarrassed when he saw this, and was thinking about whether he was leaving or staying now, when a mother-in-law came in and smiled: "Our young lady has already entered the delivery room...... It's not far from here, I'm afraid I'll make a noise for you......"

Deng Yi hurriedly said: "I was about to say goodbye and go back to prepare a gift for Sister-in-law Ding." ”

The mother-in-law hurriedly saluted again: "Son, please don't misunderstand, the princess just wants to invite the princess to the study in the front yard to serve tea." ”

"No need." Deng Yi thought to himself that Qiu Hongzhi was the first time he was a father, how could he have the kung fu to greet himself today? I guess I won't have time to discuss my homework with myself in the future, so what are you doing here? Just go with all your might.

Seeing this, the mother-in-law said that Qiu Mengmin and Qiu Yinzhi were not in the house: "The eighth prince is young, and he has coughed again in the past two days, so I can't send you, I hope you don't be surprised!" ”

Deng Yi said indifferently: "Mom's words are out, just send a little maid to send me out." ”

The mother-in-law called a small servant to come in and told him to send Deng Yi to the door in person.

The little guy obediently led Deng Yi out of the study, and he heard a lot of people not far away - out of Qiu Hongzhi's yard, the little guy turned around, but took Deng Yi on a road that he hadn't walked before.

Deng Yi couldn't help but be surprised: "I remember that the way out of the house is the one over there?" ”

Xiao Wu explained: "Because a young lady launched today, the princess made someone set up a sacrifice on the road over there...... But it's not very convenient to walk there, so I ask my son to take a few steps around the garden. ”

"Oh!" Deng Yi nodded as if he didn't understand, he only knew that it was very dangerous for women to give birth, especially the first child, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with the Xihe Palace's case sacrifice, so he followed the little guy defenselessly towards the grass and trees.

Then he didn't take a few steps and suddenly there was a wind in the back of his head - with the little three-legged cat kung fu he learned from Qiu Jinglan, he naturally became alert in his heart, and he had already been hit hard and unconscious on the spot!

…… I don't know how long it took, Deng Yi woke up dizzy, and before he could remember what had happened, hysterical screams had already sounded not far away!

After a while, the people who swarmed over were stunned to see Deng Yi holding a dagger in a daze, and at his feet was the aunt of the Xihe Palace, who was lying in a pool of blood!

The place where the latter was stabbed through the chest by the dagger was still bleeding, and he was stabbed to death at a glance!

The prospective nephew stabbed his fiancée's aunt - this news spread all over the capital in the shortest possible time!

"What a bastard!" After hearing the news, Empress Dowager Gu was so angry that her whole body trembled, and she immediately summoned Qiu Mengmin and his wife into the palace and scolded, "It's against you!" Dare to slander the nephew of the mourning family like this?! ”

Qiu Mengmin and his wife looked terrified, and before the Queen Mother finished speaking, they knelt on the ground and shouted injustice again and again: "Ten people dare not do such a thing!" What happened to Deng Gongzi, the minister couldn't figure it out! ”

"What happened in your house, you don't understand?!" Empress Dowager Gu laughed angrily!

Princess Yang cried: "Niangniang doesn't know, today's eldest daughter-in-law of the Chen family is about to give birth, and the Hefu is all alarmed, gathering in the courtyard of the eldest daughter-in-law to wait for news!" At that time, someone was sent to send Deng Gongzi out of the house, and then her sister died at the hands of Deng Gongzi, or someone came to say it, and the concubine and others only knew about it - at that time, the concubine ordered all the people to shut up, but the word had already spread! The courtiers are really wronged! ”

Empress Dowager Gu sneered: "You mourn that the family is a three-year-old child, so you can get mixed up with nonsense?!" I don't want to think about what Yi'er will do to come to your house? It's not that Qiu Hongzhi often asks him - that kid is honest, you wolf ambitions, I don't know what you think when I look at the mourning family! It must be the Jiang family or Qiu Jinglan who promised you benefits, right?! ”

"Niangniang Rongyu, let's not say that the minister's family has no intention of betraying you, let's just say that the minister's eldest son invited Deng Gongzi, it was all for the autumn test!" Qiu Mengmin kowtowed, blood quickly entered his forehead, and he kept explaining, "Besides, the minister is not a fool, even if he wants to harm Deng Gongzi, why would he let the minister's eldest son take the initiative to invite him?" The mother is wise, and she must know that the minister has three sons under her knees, and the one who has the most high hopes is the eldest son! It won't hurt him anyway! ”

"That's a good point! Who knows if you did it on purpose, and now you are pretending to be pitiful in front of your mourning family! "Empress Dowager Gu is angry!

However, Qiu Mengmin and his wife insisted that they didn't know anything, this was definitely someone who put his hand into the Xihe Palace, deliberately trying to fix them!

And they also put forward a very reasonable suspicion target - Qiu Jinglan!

"That man is dissatisfied with his niece's marriage for a long time, he must have done it!"

Empress Dowager Gu suppressed her anger and asked, "What about the evidence?!" ”

Qiu Mengmin and his wife couldn't answer—or the female official in front of the Queen Mother coughed and reminded: "Deng Gongzi has no grudges and no grudges against Mrs. Fushang, how could he kill her?" It must have been someone else's hand to slander Deng Gongzi! Since this happened in the Xihe Palace, how can the prince and the princess not give Deng Gongzi justice?! ”

This is a hint to Qiu Mengmin and his wife, hurry up and find some evidence and take Deng Yi out! Otherwise, according to the law at this time: if one of the husband and wife, including the fiancé, kills or injures the other party's elders, it will be directly sentenced by the government without the consent of both parties!

As long as you understand how Deng Yi was cheated this time, how can you not know that the person who started the attack is going to the marriage contract? Otherwise, there are so many people up and down the Qiu family, why was it Qiu Yuqing who was "killed" by Deng Yi? ! Not to mention that this marriage contract is one of the biggest tricks to control Qiu Jinglan, when has the Queen Mother suffered such a loss! Seeing that Qiu Mengmin and his wife were not stupid yet, they also suspected that Qiu Jinglan was on their heads, so they naturally asked these two courtiers who knew which side God was standing on to give an explanation!

"There is evidence, the knife that was inserted in the pillow before, the willow leaves of the previous days, and the torn robe...... It is all physical evidence. Qiu Mengmin and his wife lowered their heads, and they both smiled bitterly in their hearts, "But, this is going to be taken out, the Queen Mother hasn't cleaned up Qiu Jinglan yet, I'm afraid we will die first!" ”

They had thought about today when they took Qiu Yuqing back before-there are few Qiu family members, and there are only three elders in Qiu Yulan. Qiu Mengmin and Princess Yang are definitely unwilling to sacrifice themselves, fortunately, there is still an autumn romance.

Although it is said that the elders like the married aunt are not as close as the uncles and uncles, after all, strictly speaking, the aunts who marry out are family members...... But after all, it's blood elders!

What's more, Jiang Yashuang has a queen's aunt who can fight for three points of reason if she doesn't care, and I'm afraid that she will miss this opportunity? So the two of them only kowtowed at the moment, one bite at a time: "The minister is incompetent!" ”

Empress Dowager Gu saw that these two were actually cheating, how could she not think that they were either threatened by Qiu Jinglan, or what kind of deal they made with Qiu Jinglan? was so angry that he slapped the case, and was about to have a seizure - the waiter outside reported in one after another: "The queen mother is here!" ”

"What did she come to do! Tell her to go back! "Empress Dowager Gu hates!

It's just that before the words fell, Queen Jiang stepped into the palace without invitation, stepped into the palace with her head held high, and answered with a smile: "What are you talking about, Queen Mother?" How can the King of Xihe be my heroes, and the former King of Xihe died fighting for the country! Now that his only sister has been killed by your nephew, how can he not give an explanation to the Qiu family? I think that the Qiu and Deng families must not only be 'righteous', but Deng Yi must also be punished severely...... I'm afraid that the queen mother will be angry with this unworthy nephew, isn't the daughter-in-law here to comfort you? ”

The storm in the Thai Temple has risen again - but the atmosphere of the Ruan family is not easy!

Because Qiu Jinglan's injuries have finally stabilized!

That's right, that's good news.

Therefore, after Jiang Yashuang heard the news, she didn't care about the vigorous "nephew murder case", and hurried over to ask the prospective brother-in-law for guilt.

It's a pity that he is making tea and tea, and he said a lot of sweet words, all kinds of from the bottom of his heart, Qiu Jinglan, who was leaning on the couch, closed his eyes and recuperated, as if he hadn't heard it.

Seeing this, Jiang Yashuang had a bitter face, and cast his eyes for help to Qiu Yulan who was standing in front of the couch.

Qiu Yulan cautiously rounded the field: "It was he who helped your brother out that day, and then he helped send you back here, and despite his injuries, he went to invite the old lady Qi to come, and he guarded ......you on the first night."

"Alright, alright!" His sister-in-law opened his mouth, Qiu Jinglan really stopped pretending to be asleep, he opened his eyes, and shouted impatiently, "You haven't married yet, as for being so biased?!" ”

"It's all bad cliff frost!" Jiang Yashuang hurriedly made a low and small compensation again.

Qiu Jinglan looked at him and said, "I'm not a stingy person, what you did before was because you didn't know that our brother and sister were compatriots of the same mother, but there was nothing wrong with it." But now that our brother and sister are down, your family is prosperous, and I am extremely uneasy to promise my sister to you! ”

Jiang Yashuang is naturally busy promising and guaranteeing that he will definitely not be wronged by Qiu Yulan.

Qiu Jinglan said lightly: "Your words, I have seen it in the past two years, and I have a little sincerity to my sister." But your family......"

Thinking of the relatives at home, Jiang Yashuang wanted to cry without tears, so she had to say: "Brother, please rest assured, although Yashuang has rarely argued with her family, she will not sit idly by and watch Lanlan be bullied." ”

Qiu Jinglan didn't pay much attention to the matter of him beating grass and sticks, and immediately changed his name, and said lightly: "Let's finish the matter of the Deng family first, and then talk about yours." ”

After sending Jiang Yashuang away like this, Qiu Jinglan thought for a while, and ordered someone to take a jade box: "From today onwards, you take this with you, and you must not leave for a moment!" ”

Qiu Yulan took the jade box and looked at it, and said in surprise: "This is not the one that Guo Qingwu sent that day?!" ”
