At this time, it was not yet dawn, but everyone had no heart to sleep, so they sat down in the flower hall, poured tea, Jiang Qizheng snorted, and was about to say something, when he suddenly remembered something and asked Qiu Yulan: "Then Aunt Kang just said that she wanted to see you." ”

"Let her rest." Qiu Yulan frowned, "The county lord of Lihui keeps suspecting that I have colluded with her to harm Princess Huainan and Concubine Mo, although I know that the county lord is grief-stricken now, and most of what he said is angry. But as soon as my uncle denied this niece, I rashly associated with her, and when I turned back, my uncle could not explain it; Second, I saw her on this eye joint, and when I turned around, the county lord of Lihui knew, maybe I really got into it, and I was innocent. ”

From the beginning, Kang Lizhang was thinking of a way to see her, she didn't have anything to do to find Kang Lizhang, in this case, she was not in a hurry - maybe if Kang Lizhang was hung like this, what could be done?

Especially this time, Lord Lihui will definitely not give up with her!

"That's right." In fact, Jiang Qizheng also disapproves of Qiu Yulan's going to Kang Lizhang, after all, Qiu Yulan is a good person with her younger brother, and she has a bad relationship with a concubine.

Seeing Qiu Yulan's refusal, she was also relieved in her heart, and settled down on business, "After dawn, we will definitely send someone to send a letter to the Huainan Palace, but since the road is broken, the princess's body is estimated to be unable to be transported for a while, so we all have to stay here." ”

Qiu Yulan didn't think anything when he heard this, but including He Shuijin, Zhuang Man and the others all shrank for a moment. Obviously, there is a sudden dead person on Zhuangzi, even if it is the princess of Huainan they knew before her death, she is a little jealous.

"The west side of Zhuangzi has been empty, so let's arrange the princess there." Jiang Qizheng's face is not very good-looking, this Zhuangzi, because it is close to the splendid slope, will come every year not to mention the next time, but it is also often used. The Jiang family itself has never done anything in vain, so now they have arranged outsiders first - but there is no way, even if the relationship between the Huainan Royal Mansion and the Jiang family is not good, it is always on the same level, and the body of Princess Huainan cannot be found, but let her be left alone in the water.

He Shuijin rubbed his forehead: "Anyway, Ming'er plans to ask Sister Mi for a doctor, so let's do both things together." And he said, "If you are afraid, call a maid to accompany you, or do you live in the same room with two people?" ”

Before the words fell, Zhuang Man and Xue Rongqing said in unison: "We have a room with Sister Qiu!" ”

Qiu Yulan hurriedly said: "I'm not afraid. ”

"But we're afraid!" Zhuang Man blurted out.

Even though Jiang Qizheng was full of worries, she couldn't help but smile at the moment: "Sister Qiu is not afraid, but you two are afraid of being sisters?" ”

"Although Sister Qiu is smaller than us, she is much more courageous than us." Xue Langqing said, "Before, in Liuhua Waterfall, Sister Qiu killed the fish......

Jiang Qizheng also remembered the pot of fish soup and said, "I was also surprised, I didn't expect that Sister Qiu would have to cook, and her skills are so good." That pot of soup was delicious, and it rained suddenly before, and I was in a hurry to come down, so I forgot to thank you. ”

"Nothing." To be honest, Qiu Yulan is reluctant to share a house with others, firstly, she is used to sleeping alone, and even the maids are only allowed to sleep in the outhouse, and secondly, she is waiting for Kang Lizhang to find herself, it is always inconvenient to have outsiders. But Zhuang Man and Xue Rongqing both said so, and it was not easy to refuse, "Then Sister Zhuang and Sister Xue will move me there, or will I pack up my things and go to you?" ”

"Let's go to you." Xue Rongqing was very embarrassed, "It's so troublesome for you, how can I still ask you to run around?" ”

Jiang Qizheng discussed a few words with He Shuijin in a low voice, and said, "There should be nothing else, let's disperse." ”

So they all stood up and took their leave, and went to pack up and make arrangements.

Qiu Yulan went back to his house, and only then did he get to the door of the room, but he saw Qiu Jinzhu, who lived next door, with the window open, lying on the window lattice, and asked timidly: "Fifth sister, where have you been?" ”

"Princess Huainan and Lord Lihui have found it." Qiu Yulan said lightly, "After the princess fell into the water, in order to save the county lord, she went to appease the county lord just now...... Because you are the youngest, Her Royal Highness the princess didn't call you. ”

Qiu Jinzhu changed color and said: "Princess Huainan? Busy asked, "Is Lihui okay?" ”

"Of course not." Qiu Yulan said, "It's a lot of commotion, and I was knocked out before I was quiet." ”

Qiu Jinzhu bit her lip suddenly.

"Aunt Kang is fine, but now Lord Lihui believes that she has harmed Princess Huainan, so do you want to see her...... See for yourself. Qiu Yulan sighed, "I'm tired, go in first." ”

Soon after she entered the house, Zhuang Man and Xue Langqing came over with a group of maids. Because of the rain, it was not yet dawn at this time, and there were lights hanging under the corridor every few steps, but the two of them still let the subordinates carry several lanterns, and they were relieved to shine a magnificent picture.

Qiu Yulan welcomed them in, said a few words, and let them sleep on their original couch together, and they cleaned up the low couch by the window.

Of course, Zhuang Man and Xue Rongqing wanted to refuse, but Qiu Yulan said that she was not used to sleeping with people, so they had to agree.

Because they were very tired the day before, they went to toss again, and the three of them didn't say a few words, and then undressed and fell asleep again.

No one disturbed this sleep until noon the next day, and when Qiu Yulan woke up, he found that the embroidered tent opposite the low couch was hanging low, but Zhuang Man and the others had not woken up, so they tiptoed outside, and softly called Su He to freshen up.

Seeing that Zhuang Man's subordinates were about to enter the room, he said: "I was tired yesterday, if there is nothing to do, let them sleep more." ”

The maid hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes." And he stood up again.

After Qiu Yulan packed up, he asked, "Are the people from Huainan Wangfu here?" ”

"It doesn't seem to have arrived." Su He shook his head.

"I guess the road is not easy to walk." Qiu Yulan said, "It may not be until late afternoon." ”

After a while, Chun Ran brought food from the kitchen, and when Qiu Yulan ran out, the maid in front of Jiang Qizheng came over: "Your Highness, please go over alone, and say that there is something important to discuss." ”

"Oh?" Qiu Yulan was a little puzzled, thinking to herself, could it be that Jiang Qizheng suspected that she really had something to do with the death of Princess Huainan? Otherwise, what else do you have to say alone? She had a clear conscience and said, "You wait here, I'll go over for a while." ”

When I arrived at Jiang Qizheng's house, I saw that everyone here had also retreated.

Seeing this battle, Qiu Yulan felt even more that he had guessed correctly.

I didn't want Jiang Qizheng to say: "About an hour ago, a person came from behind Zhuangzi and said that he had something important to look for you. It's just that I heard that you didn't sleep well yesterday, and you said that you were not in a hurry, and it will be the same when you get up. That's why I didn't call you...... Now that I know that you are up, I will say that I want to talk to you alone. ”

Qiu Yulan was confused, and was about to ask, Jiang Qizheng continued, "Oh, I forgot to tell you: that person is He Gongzi who you introduced us to yesterday on the splendid slope. ”

"Is that him?" Qiu Yulan's face changed, "My cousin?!" "Otherwise, what important thing can Qiu Feng tell her?

Jiang Qizheng looked at her: "I don't know if it's related to Brother Ling." But—" she changed her words, "although he is a friend of Brother Ling's eight worships, but after all, there is a difference between men and women, and it is in my family's Zhuangzi, if anyone knows, I am afraid there will be a misunderstanding." I want someone to go with you, what do you think? ”

Qiu Yulan frowned and thought about the meaning of Qiu Feng, and said casually: "Who do you want to accompany me?" ”

"Nineteen, of course." Jiang Qizheng said calmly, "I should have accompanied you, but He Gongzi has nothing to do with my family, he is a real foreign man, and it is okay to meet him by chance, so I went to see ...... So I'll go with you at Nineteen. ”

Qiu Yulan glanced at her, knowing that she was not worried about meeting Qiu Feng alone, so she forced Jiang Yashuang to intervene. It's just that now I can feel at ease when I see Qiu Feng and ask about things, and I don't have time to care about Jiang Qizheng's cautious eyes, so I got up and said, "Where is it?" ”

"I'll let Nineteen wait for you outside the door over there, and he will take you to see He Gongzi." Jiang Qizheng pointed to the east.

went out according to what she said, and sure enough, Jiang Yashuang held up a silk umbrella and waited there, and when she saw Qiu Yulan coming out, she hurriedly came over to cover her: "Don't worry, I have already seen Qiu Feng just now, and he said that the matter has nothing to do with your cousin." ”

Qiu Yulan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at him approvingly: "Then I'll be relieved - what's the matter?" ”

"He said he was only going to tell you." Jiang Yashuang said a little embarrassed, "Yesterday, my eighteenth sister told me that you met the autumn breeze on the splendid slope, and I explained it to her, but she still has a little scruples, so I asked you to send you there." ”

Qiu Yulan glanced at him: "It's just that your sister is suspicious?" Then you tell me where the autumn breeze is, I'll go by myself, you go back. ”

Jiang Yashuang smiled: "How could I doubt you? I just want to spend more time with you. ”

"It's strange to believe you!" Qiu Yulan snorted and asked bluntly, "Yesterday, your two cousins went back, and they didn't sue me, right?" ”

Jiang Yashuang snorted: "You said this, I was planning to go back and discuss with my grandmother. ”

"Oh?"

"The fifteenth sister and the seventeenth sister are both getting older, and this youth should not be delayed." Jiang Yashuang lowered her voice, "Even if the eldest aunt and the third aunt feel sorry for their daughter, but the girl is a family after all, and it is impossible to raise her in her mother's family for a lifetime." ”

Qiu Yulan snorted: "Then your eldest aunt and third aunt should hate me to death!" ”

"As far as what they did this time, in front of the Gu family, dismantle the eighteenth sister's platform, the fifteenth sister will be forgotten, and the seventeenth sister will ......" Jiang Yashuang sneered and said, "It's strange that she doesn't go back to the house!" Even if I didn't pry her, my grandfather would have decided to marry her and marry far away! ”

"I'm weird when I say this: are you two cousins so stupid?" Qiu Yulan said suspiciously, "There is a way that the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, they are good, and they will be demolished!" This is intolerable to anyone, right? ”

Jiang Yashuang sighed: "I'm used to being willful, and I don't care about my temper - my grandmother has long said that they are sexual. The son is not good for the family, and sure enough, this time it was said. ”

Qiu Yulan squinted slightly: In the past two years, she also knows that the relationship between Jiang Qiyun and Jiang Qisheng, the two sisters, and Mrs. Tao is really not good.

Jiang Qiyun is also okay, she has a good grandfather, the Kui County man who is far away in the Jiang family, who is respected by the Duke of Qin as a father. Although Mrs. Tao is her aunt, she can't take her on the surface. But Jiang Qisheng doesn't have such a good fate, she has been beaten by Mrs. Tao a lot in the past two years - now that she has been caught by Mrs. Tao with such a big handle, I don't know what will happen to her?

After all, for a family like the Jiang family, it is nothing for children and grandchildren to cause trouble, and the elders are used to the aftermath. But cannibalism and putting personal grudges above the family is taboo!

"Both of them, I don't know what to say." Qiu Yulan filled the firewood with a bad heart, "My sixth cousin has a bad relationship with me, and she did it two years ago, but she didn't spare no effort to pit her own people in front of people." ”

Jiang Yashuang frowned: "Your sixth cousin beat you?" ”

"I hit her!" The corners of Qiu Yulan's mouth twitched, "Do you think she can beat me?" ”

"I just like your non-compromising sex. Child! When Jiang Yashuang heard this, she smiled, reached out and twisted her cheek.

Qiu Yulan hadn't opened his hand yet, but he heard a cough behind the rockery, and Qiu Feng, who was frowning, walked out slowly, and did not blame the two for being too close, but said bluntly: "Last night, Qiu saw with his own eyes that Concubine Mo was killed!" ”
