Xia Ruixi woke up, it was dark, the room was not lit, and it was quiet. It's already dark, why hasn't Ou Qingjin come back yet? Why didn't anyone else wake her up? At this time, I haven't returned to Oufu yet, and I haven't sent anyone to send a letter back, so the family should be in a hurry, right?

She was about to call someone, when there was a low conversation outside the house, the voice was very low, but some could be faintly heard, it was Chun'er and Liang'er.

Chun'er said: "You have a fast mouth, but be careful not to leak your mouth...... If someone mentions it, you have to pay attention to cover up and block it, if you scare the young lady, you and I will suffer. ”

After a period of silence, Liang'er whispered: "This surnamed Zhao, why does he have a bad stomach?" How serious is the situation? I've heard of dead people......"

Chun'er said: "Shh...... Don't say it, the four young people are here......"

After a while, Ou Qingjin's slightly tired voice sounded: "I have already asked people to go back and tell Mrs. that I will stay here temporarily for the next few days and not go back, in case someone talks more." Someone will bring the utensils later. The two of you take it, and serve the young grandmother carefully. ”

Xia Ruixi's heart beat wildly, what happened? Surname Zhao? It can't be Zhao Mingtao, right? Could it be that there is something wrong with the Xia family? Dead? Who died anyway?

Chun'er and Liang'er said: "Young master, don't worry, the slaves and maids will definitely serve the young grandmother well." ”

Ou Qing said solemnly: "I'll go in and see if she's about to wake up, Chun'er brought me the hot and sour noodles warm in the kettle." Liang'er went to the kitchen to see if the hot water was about to boil? ”

Xia Ruixi hurriedly pretended to shout: "Who is outside?" Why don't you light a lamp? What time is it? ”

"It's me. I'm afraid the lights will interfere with your sleep. Footsteps sounded, and as Ou Qingjin's warm hand held her hand, then Chun'er came in with a warm pot, picked up the lamp and withdrew.

"When did you come back? It's dark, why don't you call me? It's too late to go back. Dad and Mom must be worried, you can light the lamp. Xia Ruixi fumbled to get dressed, and Ou Qing hugged her: "Xixi, we won't go back tonight, just live here." ”

"Why?" Xia Ruixi remained silent: "Who were you talking to outside just now?" ”

Ou Qing smiled casually: "I'm talking to Chun'er and Liang'er." I'll ask them to get you hot and sour noodles. I bought it for you, do you want to eat it? ”

Xia Ruixi said: "Who are you going to see today?" ”

Ou Qingjin smiled: "A friend." I haven't seen you for a long time, but when I saw the carriage and the regiment, I found it. ”

Xia Ruixi looked at him suspiciously: "You are lying." ”

Ou Qing smiled dryly: "Why do you say that?" What kind of lie am I talking about? If you don't believe it, Ming'er and I will let that friend come to the house for dinner, and you will ask him personally. ”

Xia Ruixi didn't doubt at all that if he needed to, don't say tomorrow, even now, he can immediately find someone to swear to lie in front of her. She glanced at Ou Qingjin with a smile: "You may not know, when you tell lies and are duplicitous, your nose is bigger than usual." ”

Ou Qing couldn't help touching his nose and said weakly: "Nonsense, how come I never knew." It's no use for you to blackmail me, because I didn't lie to you at all. ”

Xia Ruixi was indeed deceiving him. According to the results of her long-term observation, Ou Qingjin does not like to be angry in everything, but when he is happy or angry in his heart, his nostrils can't help but open open, and she only needs to look at the wings of his nose to know the changes in his mood. As for his expression, she didn't know, because so far, he didn't seem to have told her a serious lie.

It seemed that it was impossible for him to take the initiative to confess to her, Xia Ruixi simply said: "I heard you just now. Say, what's wrong with my family? Who died? Why do you want to hide it from me? ”

Ou Qingjin stroked her back and said lightly: "It's not a big deal that a subordinate died unexpectedly. There is also Zhao Mingtao who came to talk about the Sun family, and his words were so arrogant and rude, and he was kicked out by his father-in-law. The family doesn't tell you because they're worried about you. It's really not a big deal, can I hide it from you? ”

Zhao Mingtao still did it in the end. Xia Ruixi was silent for a moment, and his intuition was that things were not as simple as Ou Qingjin said: "Don't worry that I can't stand it, I can stand it." Saying this, half hiding and half hiding, I am even more worried. ”

Xia Ruixi saw that Ou Qingjin's expression was a little relaxed, and continued to agitate: "Who am I?" It's not that you don't know, you didn't be afraid when you were dying, let alone sitting here. I've always believed that since something has happened, you have to think of ways to solve it, and one more person always has more strength, right? If you don't tell me, aren't you afraid that I will complain about you in the future? ”

Mrs. Xia asked Ou Qing to hide from Xia Ruixi, and he originally planned to do the same, after all, he regarded Xia Ruixi's physical condition at this time as more important than anything else. Now it seems that in the end, it can't be hidden, it is about Xia Ruixi's parents and family, and it is a trivial matter to complain in the future, and what she is most afraid of is that things will develop in the most unpredictable direction, and at that time she suddenly knew that the blow and stimulation were even greater.

Ou Qingjin made up his mind and sat down next to her: "The incident in the Sun family was designed by Zhao Mingtao at all, and now it is used to blame." The concubine of the Sun family, who was supposed to be punished by a knife, not only did not die, but the person was still in his hands. and the aunt and grandmother of the Sun family, who also turned against each other. That is to say, now that he is in Xijing City, he is almost covering the sky with one hand, as long as he says a word, all the human and material evidence is complete, and the Xia family will be unlucky, and he will have to be charged with buying murder in order to get married. ”

Zhao Mingtao came to the door to accuse Mrs. Xia of buying murder and wanting to get married, and killing the young master of the Sun family in vain. The Xia family naturally didn't admit it, and there was a conflict between the two, Master Xia drove people out of the door with a knife, and after being stopped by Mrs. Xia, he was so angry that his chest hurt at that time, and now he is still lying in bed and can't get up.

Then Xia Ruiyu went out and was almost trampled to death by a crazy horse, and was half in a state of shock. Uncle Xia and Xia Ruili were jealous of each other at a prostitute they knew, and were beaten half to death, Uncle Xia broke two ribs, and Xia Ruili broke a leg. In just a few hours, the Xia family's village on the outskirts of the city was burned to the ground, and several servants were burned to death.

"Why wait so long to do it? What the hell is he trying to do? "The young master of the Sun family has been dead for more than two months, since the initiator is Zhao Mingtao, it stands to reason that he should have done it a long time ago, why did he wait until now to threaten him?

Ou Qing said ashamedly: "He chose to do it at this time, it was thoughtful. In a sense, it was the Ou family who dragged down the Xia family. ”

The imperial concubine has just had a prince raised under her name, and her momentum is slightly higher than before, if the emperor's illness is all cured and he can look at things again, it will be fine. But now that most of the power is still in the hands of the emperor's eldest son, they need an opportunity to completely defeat the imperial concubine's faction.

Zhao Mingtao is now the eldest son of the emperor, and he doesn't need to rely on being the son-in-law of the Xia family to earn points for himself, he chose to pick the in-laws of the Ou family at this time. If he succeeds, he will be a great contributor to the fight against the Guifei faction in the future and help the emperor's eldest son ascend to the throne, and the benefits will be obvious.
