Liuli picked him up, gave him a lot of food to eat, and let Yue Gui take him down to play. Then asked Huanhua: "I have something to ask you, the Nie family, the Yu family and the eldest lord and their gang secretly used their power to make a profit from the grain, someone is investigating, and it is said that the evidence was secretly taken away, do you know?" ”

Huanhua was surprised: "It's still investigating, hasn't there been no movement for a long time?" ”

Ruri looked at her for a moment, making sure she really didn't know. He Pusong's suspicion is even smaller. However, it cannot be ruled out that if He Pusong really did it secretly, it was unlikely that Huanhua would know, and she asked her just to see if He Pusong could reveal the news.

"Then, what is the third uncle's attitude towards the eldest master now?" She asked again.

Huanhua paused for a moment, and then understood what she meant, "Do you suspect that the person who secretly collected that evidence is my father?" No way. Although he hated Changfang, he did not have a confrontation head-on, that is, he refused to associate with them. And he rarely asks about these things, and you don't know it. ”

Liuli sighed and nodded: "Yes, I know it too." Therefore, the possibility that the evidence is in Aunt Su's hands is even greater.

Huanhua also sighed, "The old lady's body has been getting worse and worse recently, and it seems that he was saying a few days ago that he wants to resign and tell the old man, if he really goes to the west, he will be divided by then." Now the second sister-in-law and the second and fourth rooms in the big room are secretly fighting fiercely, and I don't know what the family will be like when the time comes. ”

Liuli didn't care about this, but said, "What do you care about so much." ”

Huanhua sat until the evening, then got up and prepared to go back, and Liuli sent them to the second gate to get on the bus. And I saw that three or four days had passed by ten days. As long as she doesn't leave the house, she is not afraid of any questions when she walks around the house.

Liuli hugged Brother Ping and got into the carriage, just as she prayed for Yun Hao to ride back, Huanhua hurriedly got out of the car to salute. Qi Yunhao nodded, looked at Liuli, who was still holding Brother Ping'er beside him, looked at her deeply, looked at Brother Ping deeply, and threw the horsewhip to Admiralty. One person went back to the room first.

Liuli watched Huanhua's carriage go out and returned to the room, Qi Yunhao hugged her from inside the door and rolled her onto the couch, and whispered in her ear: "Let's have a baby." ”

Ruri bit him the shoulder and ran out.

In broad daylight, what a child!

As soon as Rui'er's three-day vacation arrived, she came back. And Ji Xiaoquan didn't get any other instructions from Liuli for the time being, and still went to Zhuangzi in the eastern suburbs. In this way, some finishing things on Zhuangzi were handed over to him, and Lai Wu went to Lao Qifu to inquire about the news on this day.

Liuli heard his bellflower reply at noon, and Lai Wu handed the news in.

Kikyo said: "There are also many newcomers in the old Qi Mansion, and the one in charge of the ancestral hall is an old man from the side branch of the Qi Fu clan, who is said to have seen Mrs. Ye." But because the relationship is far away. has always only been responsible for guarding the ancestral hall, so he doesn't know very well, he only told Lai Wu one thing, and he doesn't know if it's useful to his grandmother. ”

Liuli heard what he said before, and she didn't have any hope for Lai Wu's trip, so she said casually: "What's the matter?" ”

Kikyo thought for a while and said, "It is said that Mrs. Ye was very young when she married the prince, and she was just in time, and then she became pregnant with a child soon after, and the imperial doctor saw it at that time. But I don't know what the cause is, that is, she is a little younger and not suitable for childbirth, but Mrs. Ye didn't listen at that time, and still gave birth to the child. Oh, it's our general. The old man also said that if it weren't for Mrs. Ye's reluctance to give up the child in her womb, she wouldn't have really responded to the doctor's words later. Died in childbirth. He knew all about it, so he could remember it. ”

At the beginning, Liuli only planned to be an ordinary allusion, even if he heard it, he thought about it again, and the cup almost overturned!

Mrs. Ye was also fifteen years old when she married the king of Dingbei. is as old as herself, and how can she be so coincidental, the imperial doctor also said that she should not give birth too early at a young age, and in the end she really died of dystocia? Could it be that Qi Yunhao is really afraid that she will repeat Mrs. Ye's mistakes because of her mother's death?

In an instant, many questions came to her mind like a tidal wave. Qi Yunhao has never seen his mother in front of her, is he completely impressed with her, so he doesn't care, or is it under the ruthlessness of King Dingbei and the harshness of the Mei family, but he has feelings that are difficult for ordinary people to touch for his biological mother who he has never met?

If it was the former, then he didn't let Mrs. Ye get pregnant because of her death.

But if it's the latter, it's very likely! Because if Mrs. Ye didn't die, then it would definitely be her and not the Mei family who sat in the position of the hostess of the Dingbei Mansion today. And Qi Yunhao will not make trouble to the point of wanting to live in another house! All this is because Mrs. Ye was reluctant to strangle him in her womb and risked giving birth to him, but in the end she died because of it!

Qi Yunhao himself, wouldn't he feel sorry for Mrs. Ye for exchanging his death for his own life because he knew about this?

"A child without a mother is the most unfortunate", does the pain in these words still need to be elaborated? I remember that night in the study, when she asked him why he didn't tell her in advance, he had been hesitant when he talked about this, but she didn't think that it was possible that he was because of the death of his biological mother, and he avoided it,—— of course, at that time, she didn't know that the cause of Mrs. Ye's death was like this.

So, is that really the case?

The closer she gets to the truth, the more she can't let go.

Qi Yunhao came back after dinner and brought her purple sweet potatoes.

Ruri sat on the couch with her knees crossed, staring at him washing her face and changing clothes, and then sat down at the table and picked up tea.

Although he is in Biansai all the year round, he is still in the aristocratic circle in Beijing when he was a teenager, and he is exposed to a good education, so he is not rude in his actions, he has always been calm and gentle, his body is tall, his facial features are cold and resolute, he stands up and his body is very straight, like a pine and cypress, but he is not the kind of cold that makes people unapproachable, he can laugh, and his smile is very soft, such a person does not look like a person with any unspeakable pain in his heart.

But it is true that he and King Dingbei have a twenty-year enmity because of Mrs. Ye, and the sadness in his words is also true, and this cannot be bypassed.

"Why are you staring at me?"

Qi Yunhao finally asked, since he entered the door, her eyes have not left him today.

"Nothing."

She shook her head, looked down and flipped through the book again. But the fingers had only turned the page and stopped moving. If she took the initiative to ask him about Mrs. Ye, what was the chance that he would tell her bluntly?

"I saw that you like to eat, so I bought you again."

At some point, he had already peeled the skin of the sweet potato and handed it to her with the end.

Liuli looked at it for a long time, took it, and took a bite.

He wiped his hands with a handkerchief, and picked up a military book by the bedside as usual, and also looked. Since he rested here every night, there were a lot of his things at the bedside.

Liuli hugged her knees and bit the sweet potato, and suddenly said: "At the end of the year, it is Mrs. Ye's sacrifice day, how did the general sacrifice in previous years?" ”

Was it because of his mother's death that she was not allowed to risk a difficult birth due to this premature birth? She still didn't dare to verify it directly. It seems that there is no reliable person left by his mother since he was a child, and his father is busy marrying his stepmother back, and it doesn't take long for his stepmother to have her own children. Even if she resented him and hated him, after knowing this, she didn't want to use this to be an executioner again.

Qi Yunhao was originally peaceful and calm, but when he heard this, he raised his head suddenly, and the sudden pain in his eyes was so obvious that it was about to burn Liuli.

"The general's birthday is Mrs. Ye's sacrifice day, isn't it?" Liuli held the sweet potato in one hand, pretending to look at it calmly, and pinched her knee under her arm with the other. When she saw his eyes, she knew she had guessed correctly. He has unusual feelings for Mrs. Ye, but what she wants is the exact truth, a practical answer, so she must also be tempted.

If he really can't let go of Mrs. Ye's death, he will definitely react to this special day.

"It's only been a little over a month, and it's time for me to get started. What to do, the general should tell me. ”

"Say no more!"

Qi Yunhao stood up suddenly, his chest rose and fell, strode to the door, and suddenly turned back again, with hatred in his eyes.

Ruri forgot her words and stared at him fixedly. He jerked his head, slammed into the doorframe, and then crossed the threshold and rushed out.

Liuli also got up and chased out, and he didn't wear shoes, and when he got to the porch, he saw that Li Xing was also chasing out of the door, but he was still in the door, so he called him and asked, "Let me ask you, why did the general's mother die in childbirth back then?" ”

Li Xing was stunned, glanced at Qi Yunhao's whereabouts, and gritted his teeth and looked at Liuli after half a day: "I can't say anything about the small one." ”

Liuli said: "How did the general spend his birthday every year?" ”

"Grandma—"

"You have to say!" Ruri shouted.

"Grandma!"

Li Xing was so anxious that he stomped his feet and said hatefully: "Don't mention this stubble!" Where did the general celebrate his birthday? He used to be in the side, but on this day he was gone. Later, when I returned to the court, I simply went to the grave of my wife to sit all day! Originally, the little one didn't know, but when he came back, the saint also rewarded him with a birthday gift, and he couldn't find anyone around, and the little one finally found him in front of the lady's tomb. Later, if you want to look for him every year, you must go there! ”

Never had a birthday – and sure enough, she was right. Qi Yunhao couldn't let go of Mrs. Ye's death, so when it came to having children, he couldn't get over this hurdle himself!

He was worried that Ruri would die like his mother, and even if it was a small thing, he was reluctant to let her try. He didn't want their children to be like him, without a mother's love.

Liuli suddenly took half a step back, this half step was difficult and heavy, and she now felt how cruel it was to force him to confide the truth in the first place.
