Pang Xu smiled and said meaningfully: "County Lord Niangniang, the important thing is not who the woman is, but, do you believe what this letter says?" ”

Qiu Yulan glanced at her coldly, and looked at the letterhead again—there was actually a sentence on the letterhead: "Pang Lu has a two-inch-long scar under his left rib." ”

- This kind of physical trait, according to common sense, can only be known to the family!

For Ruan Qingyan, who only had an aunt not long ago, and a seriously ill grandfather at home, it is better to admit that Pang Xu is his former mother-in-law than to admit that he has been messing with people like Hua Shen these days!

"This is to force me to surrender with my cousin's future!" Qiu Yulan was furious in her heart, "The people in the capital are not familiar with my cousin, Pang Xu can tell his physical characteristics, and no one can question any nonsense in other places, how can she overturn her so-called mother-in-law identity, and not go to the south to find evidence?" But not mentioning this back and forth, will the Queen Mother's party sit idly by? The queen's mind is now focused on the letter from the Lian family, and she will definitely not be distracted by her cousin in this eyebone! ”

Qiu Yulan knew that he was currently losing the upper hand - the Queen Mother's party sent a guest from the Imperial Doctor to bring people to the door, it would not be a deception, it should be certain, in this case, they did not directly destroy Ruan Qingyan, but chose Ruan Qingyan to come to him after he was already out, of course, not to be soft-hearted, but to take advantage of his own defection to blow the queen of Kengjiang!

"It seems that the Queen Mother's party has failed to compete for the letter of the Lian family! I had to settle for the next best thing, and I wanted to start with my cousin to turn against me! What now? She thought quickly, put the letterhead back on the table, and looked at Pang Xu's eyes with a determined expression: "Letter, what?" If you don't believe it, so what? ”

Pang Xu didn't expect that at her age, she didn't show any panic at this time, she was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "If the county lord's mother believes it, the people's wife will naturally tell you about the young son of the people's woman; If you don't believe it, the identity of a folk woman won't dare to bother you, of course, she will retire immediately. ”

Seeing that Qiu Yulan had no intention of keeping people, Pang Xu frowned, "When Lu Er comes out of the examination room, he will open his shirt and take a look, and he will know whether it is true or false." ”

After saying this, she saluted and walked towards the door, and when she was about to reach the threshold, she suddenly stopped, turned her head, and smiled slightly, "In the past two days, the woman and the eldest son will temporarily borrow the mansion of Lord Yushi...... If the county lord has any sending, just send someone to say it. Folk women, I can come and see you at any time. ”

Qiu Yulan said indifferently: "The county lord knows, you retreat!" ”

Soon after Pang Xu went out, Su He and Dong Ran pushed the door in surprise, and said first: "Then Li Juren said goodbye outside and left." ”

Then he asked, "County Lord, Pang Xu?" ”

"Winter Dye, come here, I'll ask you something." Although Qiu Yulan believed eighty percent, she still asked Ruan Qingyan's henchmen to rest assured, and called Dong Ran to her with a solemn expression, and put the letterhead in her hand, "Is this true or false?" ”

Dong Dye took a look, and his face changed: "Oops! ”

Now she didn't say it, but Qiu Yulan also knew, and sighed secretly: "In that case, send someone to call Pang Xu over tomorrow and listen to her conditions." ”

"Don't do that yet!" Dong Ran held the letterhead in his hand, bit his lip, and suddenly said, "Childe explained before, if someone pretends to be some of his previous mother-in-law or something, let the maid find someone." ”

Qiu Yulan asked in surprise: "Who are you looking for?" ”

"The servant didn't know, so the son said the place." Dong Ran pleaded, "Rong Wanzi will go tonight, if there is nothing to say over there, will the county lord recall that Pang Xu clan again?" "The master and servant all know that since Pang Xu's side has pinched such a handle as Ruan Qingyan, if the request is only harsh, it will be considered kind.

It must be that the two brothers and sisters are forced to die!

In this case, it would be best if there was another way to solve the situation.

Qiu Yulan asked, "Do you have anything to prepare when you go?" ”

"The son has told me, and the servant will prepare." Winter dye vaguely said.

Hearing that she didn't want to reveal too much to herself, Qiu Yulan didn't continue to ask, but said: "Then be careful on the road, if you can, let a family accompany you, it's not good for girls to walk alone at night." ”

Dongran smiled apologetically at her before saying, "Yes." ”

She said this, but after nightfall, she still went out through the back door alone.

After Su He found out, when he made the bed for Qiu Yulan at night, he doubted while Chun Dye and Xia Dye were not paying attention: "Who is it, Sister Dong Dye goes to see her at night, but she still goes alone?" ”

"We'll find out when she gets back." Qiu Yulan thought to herself that Ruan Qingyan was obviously very martial arts, and his henchman Dong Ran might have also practiced, but if she didn't take her family out at night, it wasn't necessarily that she had the confidence to walk alone at night, probably mainly to avoid people's eyes.

"I don't know who she's looking for, and what kind of arrangement does my cousin have with that person?" Qiu Yulan guessed, "Although Dong Ran didn't say it directly just now, looking at her, she just thought that person could solve the matter of Pang Xu's visit—or after she read the letterhead!" Could it be someone powerful? Can it be more expensive than the Queen Mother? Even the queen may not have the kung fu to protect her cousin at the moment, right? ”

She suddenly remembered Xue Chang, "My cousin seemed to be rushing to be his protégé when he came to Beijing before, but at that time, the main exam in the spring of this year didn't come down." My cousin is very determined...... Could it be that my cousin has been in contact with Xue Chang for a long time? It's Xue Chang that Dong Ran is going to find?! ”

The weight of the leaders of the Neutral Party, who are valued by the second post, is indeed different...... But how can Xue Chang get Ruan Qingyan out of this conspiracy? It can't be the Queen Mother, right......

Qiu Yulan guessed that the few powerful people he knew felt that something was not right, so he simply waited intently. In the middle of the night, Winter Dye came back and rushed to the Green Rose Garden to see if she had slept.

Qiu Yulan, who heard the movement, called into the inner room to pray, and she said, "That ...... has promised to help us solve this matter. Please don't worry about it! ”

Qiu Yulan pondered for a moment, and asked tentatively, "How is he going to solve it?" ”

"In short, the Pang Xu clan and they don't want to pretend to be the elders and brothers of the son." Winter dye cut the way of the iron.

"Can you tell me who this man is?" Qiu Yulan thought for a long time, but couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked.

Dong Ran smiled apologetically again: "Childe and that one both told the maid not to spread any information about that person. ”

“…… All right. Touching a soft nail, Qiu Yulan was embarrassed to reveal his identity and forced Dong Ran, so he could only wait for Ruan Qingyan to come out of the examination room and ask this cousin about it.

However, although she decided not to ask, the day before the end of the Spring Festival, Pang Xu came to the door again to ask for a meeting, and the meaning of the words was that if Qiu Yulan was still obsessed, she would ask the Qiu family's disciples and subordinates to accompany her tomorrow to the examination room, in front of many scholars, to recognize Ruan Qingyan!

Although Qiu Yulan looked at Dong Ran's face and ignored her, after Pang Xu was served tea and sent off, she still felt a little apprehensive: "Are you really sure?" It's about my cousin's life! ”

"Rest assured, there will be no problem." Dong Ran said affirmatively, "How dare the maid joke about the future of the son?" ”

With Ruan Qingyan's city mansion and his henchmen, Qiu Yulan felt that it should be credible.

But that night she tossed and turned and did not fall asleep until dawn.

I got up early and called someone to wash my face with cold water, barely lifting my spirits - Qiu Yulan didn't have much confidence to ride to the outside of the Gongyuan, looking at the scene of the servants of the family who came to pick up people today, and in a short moment, a white linen handkerchief was twisted by her.

Seeing her nervousness, Dong Ran couldn't help but comfort: "Don't worry! Absolutely no problem! ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Qiu Lulan's face changed slightly, and she looked out of the car: "They're here!" ”

Su He and the others followed her line of sight, and their hearts sank: "Pang Xu's!" Pang Biao! ”

"And Li Gui and others, presumably other guests of the Qiu family?" Su He pressed his chest and whispered, "This? ”

The people in the carriage all looked at Fuyuzen.

But Dong Dye was still very calm: "It doesn't matter, don't pay attention to them." ”

Qiu Yulan barely held back and ignored them—but these people just squeezed through the crowd to their carriage.

Because the scholar was about to come out, and there were many people around, and they had no leisure to grind, Pang Xu came over and lifted the curtain of the car, and said coldly: "County Lord, thinking of the relationship between mother and son, this is the last chance, don't you really go to the teahouse over there with us to talk?" ”

Seeing Qiu Yulan's hesitation, Dong Ran preemptively said: "You woman is so rude!" Who allowed you to lift the curtain of my car casually?! Go down! ”

drove away Pang Xu's family, she hurriedly excused Qiu Lulan: "I really don't need to ignore them......"

"But how do you explain it later?" Although Qiu Yulan felt that Ruan Qingyan's city government and the people he was a confidant should not be unreliable, but seeing that Pang Xu's party was crowded in front of the tributary courtyard without any heart, he was also a little suspicious of winter dyeing.

Dong Ran pursed his lips, looking like he didn't know what to say - at this time, the door of the Gongyuan opened, and as a large number of scholars with different expressions poured out, the originally wide field in front of the Gongyuan was crowded, and in an instant, the family members sent by Qiu Yulan to find Ruan Qingyan were squeezed out!

Qiu Yulan's bad feeling in her heart became stronger and stronger, she suddenly raised her hand, grabbed Dong Ran's neck and asked, "You really didn't mean to hurt your cousin?!" ”

Before the words fell, I heard a few exclamations one after another from the direction of the gate of the Gongyuan: "Murder!" ”

"Someone killed someone!!"

"What about the perpetrators? Why is it missing in a blink of an eye? Officers! Come here, a soldier has been assassinated! ”

Qiu Yulan was stunned, and was surprised at the gate of the Gongyuan in broad daylight - or this kind of time after the exam, how could a homicide happen?! Seeing that the crowd parted like a tide, two messengers carried a bloody man under his ribs and ran towards him: "Is it the carriage on the old general Ruan's mansion?" I'm really sorry, I don't know where the madman actually intends to assassinate Ruan Gongzi! Fortunately, he only injured his left rib and did not endanger his life! ”

Qiu Yulan subconsciously put down the hand holding Dong Ran - when she jumped out of the carriage, she happened to look at Pang Xu and the others in the crowd who were shocked and angry, and the shock and fury in the latter's eyes made her exhale heavily!
