The prefect sent people to surround the entire Kaiyuan Palace, not only that, but also sealed the intersection of Jining Temple back and forth, all people who passed by must check and register, although the abbot of Yuankong has a lot of complaints about this, but after all, it is a matter of human life, and he acquiesces.

It's just that he has never found the abbot of Yuanji, as if he has evaporated from this world, although the prefect is in a hurry, but there is no way but to wait for the follow-up of the matter.

Night, Hou's Mansion.

The silver glow of the moon is like flowing water, quietly cascading on the eaves, and the occasional bird shuttles through it.

There was a faint sound of footsteps coming from the doorway, and then someone gently pushed open the door of the main house of Moxiangyuan.

Su Wanqiu didn't have to look back to know that the person who came must be Fuchun, Fuchun's footsteps were different from others, always silent, extremely difficult to detect, if it weren't for Su Wanqiu's sometimes extra sensitive, she might not be able to hear this slight movement.

"Miss, Childe has already ordered someone to check that note, but the content on it is too obscure to understand, and Childe can't know what it is yet." Fu Chun walked to Su Wanqiu's side and said softly.

Su Wanqiu nodded: "Well, I know." ”

When Fuchun heard this, he blessed his body, and when he was about to turn around and go out, he didn't know what he thought, and said, "Miss, the slave maid still has something to report." ”

"You say."

"When the slave maid passed by the Xingfang Courtyard in Fuzhong just now, she found that the Hou Ye was staying in the Xingfang Courtyard now." Fu Chun's eyes rolled and said.

Su Wanqiu frowned: "Xingfangyuan is Aunt Xie's residence, what's wrong with my father staying at Aunt Xie's place?" ”

"The slave didn't think much about it originally, but when the slave was about to come back, she suddenly heard some strange movements coming from the bamboo forest in Xingfangyuan." There was a strange look in Fu Chun's eyes, "The slave maid heard the sound and followed to take a look, and found that it was the little girl in Xingfang Courtyard and the girl next to the eldest lady talking." ”

Although Fuchun came to the Hou Mansion for a short time, Fuchun has a strong memory, and now there are more than 100 people up and down the mansion who can't be named, which shows Fuchun's intelligence.

"It's already so late, how could the girl next to the eldest lady go to Xingfangyuan?" Chu Yu was taken aback.

"Yes, the slave maid also thought it was very strange, the slave maid originally wanted to hear what the two of them had to say, but unfortunately at that time, the night patrol of the Hou Mansion happened to arrive at the gate of Xingfang Courtyard, and the slave and maid had to go back to Moxiang Courtyard first."

When Su Wanqiu heard this, she lowered her eyes slightly, Aunt Xie is Su Yunwan's biological mother, and both of them have always been quiet and wooden, not good at words, but although Aunt Xie is not as beautiful as Aunt Shen, she is also deeply loved by Su Yu because of her obedience and calmness.

Su Yu has not stayed in the eldest lady's Fu'an courtyard these days, presumably the eldest lady has already been angry, and she must be eager to get rid of Aunt Xie as soon as possible.

"Pay more attention." Su Wanqiu's brows furrowed slightly, the eldest lady was scheming, although this time it seemed that she had the intention to attack Aunt Xie, but according to Su Wanqiu's understanding of the eldest lady, she was very likely to make a means of borrowing a knife to kill people, and now the eldest lady is extremely angry with herself, so she needs to be careful.

Fuchun nodded, then turned and retreated.

…………

The next day, early in the morning.

Su Wanqiu, as always, came to the old lady's Rongsong Courtyard to ask for peace, but this time she was slightly surprised that Aunt Xie also arrived in Rongsong Courtyard.

In the past, the aunts in the Hou Mansion never needed to go to Rongsong Courtyard, and only asked the eldest lady to say goodbye every day, but today, somehow, Aunt Xie was also here.

Su Wanqiu quietly glanced around, Su Yu was also here, thinking that Su Yu would not bring Aunt Xie here today for no reason, there must be something to announce.

Sure enough, as Su Wanqiu expected, after she saluted and said goodbye, Su Yu smiled and said, "Since everyone is here, I will announce one thing, Qing'er is pregnant." ”

The old lady should have known about this a long time ago, although there was a smile on her face, she was not very surprised, and the eldest lady glanced at Aunt Xie intentionally or unintentionally, with a deep meaning in her eyes.

"Really? That's really congratulations to my father and aunt. Su Wanqiu said with a smile when she heard this, "My aunt has always been in bad health, and now that she is pregnant, she has to take good care of herself." ”

Aunt Xie lowered her head slightly, Su Wanqiu couldn't see the expression on Aunt Xie's face, but everyone thought that Aunt Xie was shy and lowered her head, but only Su Yunwan's eyes showed some sadness, but she sat on the side and no one noticed her.

"Qing'er is pregnant, it's really a great joy, but the original spices in Xingfang Courtyard are useless." There was a faint look of joy on the eldest lady's face, but she was quickly replaced by worry, "Those spices have a great impact on the fetus, so it's better to replace them as soon as possible." ”

Saying that, the eldest lady turned her head to look at Su Wanqiu and said, "By the way, Wanqiu has always known a lot about spices, so it is better to go to Xingfang Courtyard for a while to see which spices are used and which are not." ”

Su Wanqiu glanced at the eldest lady with a little surprise, and then laughed lightly: "Mother said that it was funny, how can Wanqiu understand this, this kind of thing should be checked by the doctor in the house." ”

Although she didn't know what the eldest lady was thinking, in short, this matter must not be dealt with, although she was familiar with some spices, but this kind of thing could not be taken care of, once something happened, it would involve herself.

The eldest lady didn't insist, so she diverted the topic again: "In addition to spices, you should also pay more attention to your diet and daily life, Qing'er is delicate now, and she can't be the same as before." ”

"Mother, it's not the first time that Aunt Xie is pregnant, how can she not understand, and you don't have to worry so much." Su Xue couldn't help but speak.

"That's right." The eldest lady smiled, "It's still me talking too much." ”

"Madame is also concerned about chaos, since this is the case, Qing'er's life is taken care of by Mrs. Lao." Su Yu's eyes rarely showed a little smile, the Hou Mansion had not had a child for many years, and now that his aunt was pregnant, he was very happy, as for the reason why he handed over this matter to the eldest lady to take care of, it was nothing more than because he also knew that the person who was most likely to let Aunt Xie have an accident was the eldest lady.

Leave this matter to the eldest lady, if something happens, the eldest lady will definitely not be able to get out of it, so that the eldest lady not only can't do anything to Aunt Xie, but also has to take care of Aunt Xie with all her might.

But the eldest lady seemed even more joyful than Su Yu, she nodded and said: "This is natural, the concubine will definitely take good care of Qing'er, and she will never make any mistakes." ”

The corners of Su Wanqiu's lips curved slightly upward, as if there was a sense of mockery.
