Although Mrs. Xu's hands are a little thicker, she is very flexible in needlework, and the workmanship is not first-class, but it is definitely not easy to compare with ordinary family members.

Qi Yiyi looked at it for a while, and then said: "I heard that Mrs. arrived at the Xu family when she was very young, it seems that this exquisite needlework must have been taught by the old lady of the Xu family." ”

"It's not." Mrs. Xu did not stop, and replied to her casually: "It was my mother who taught me."

"I was led by her to do needlework when I was very young, and when she passed away, I didn't do it well, but I learned how to do it.

"I didn't stop over the years, and I gradually practiced it. I made my children's clothes and children's clothes. ”

She smiled at her, her face feeling a little rich and satisfied.

Qi Yiyi recalled Xu Kun's dress, which was indeed very decent.

She couldn't help but say, "Madame and the general have a really good relationship. ”

Mrs. Xu raised her lips: "He is my husband and my benefactor, in this world, I have no relatives except him and our children." He's my God. ”

Previously, at Yan Tang's place, he had already told Qi Mi about the origin of the Qiu family.

And these things of the Xu family were found out by Yan Tang when he borrowed them at their house, and asked the guards to inquire about them privately.

But even if she heard her mention her relationship with Xu Kun now, Qi Mi still couldn't understand their desperate love for a while.

She asked, "Look at the little porcelain bells on it, Ling Lang is not too old, right?" Madame and the general have been married for many years, and they have many children under their knees. ”

Mrs. Xu is twenty-seven years old, and she arrived at the Xu family when she was a child, so at this age, she should have been married for many years.

But she heard Yan Tang say that Mrs. Xu had not given birth when he was recuperating from his injury, and listening to the meaning of her words, this son should be her first child, and he was only two or three years old.

So, did she give birth to a son after many years of marriage, is it because of her poor heirs, or is it something else?

Mrs. Xu was silent for a while and said, "No, we only have one child. ”

Qi Yiyi raised his eyebrows: "That's a pity, you and the general have such a good relationship, you should have a few more children, so that the family will be more lively." ”

Mrs. Xu tugged at the corners of her mouth with difficulty and did not answer.

Qi Yiyi felt that it was a little strange for a girl who had not reached her family to discuss the issue of having children with other women.

And looking at Mrs. Xu's face, there must be some inside story.

Revealing people's scars is always hateful and hateful, she squinted her eyes and looked out the window for a moment,

So he changed the subject: "Madame, do you remember your place of origin?" ”

"I don't remember." Mrs. Xu shook her head while dropping the needle, "I only remember that my parents died at the hands of the robbers, and I forgot everything else." ”

Qi Mi stared at the lifelike camellia under her: "Then I don't know how Mrs. still remembers the female red taught by Ling Tang?" ”

At this point, the tip of the needle pierced with the camellia flicked to the ground, pierced the fingertips against the handkerchief, and the snow-white satin cloth was immediately dyed a small bit of crimson.

Mrs. Xu didn't move, and Qi Miyu didn't move either.

After a long time, the handkerchief needle and thread were put down, and Mrs. Xu took out another handkerchief from the side and covered her fingertips.

"Are you suspicious of me for something?" She looked down at her knees, and her voice became muffled.

Qi Mi was noncommittal.

If this was not an errand given to her by Yan Tang, she would definitely have dispelled the idea of pursuing it again by this time.

She did have a little doubt about him before this, but it didn't make her want to get to the bottom of it.

The young face of the woman in front of her had the familiar sadness she had seen in the mirror in the palace of the king of Chu.

She would never want to embarrass someone who has also been tormented by fate, especially a woman.

"You suspect that I am a collaborator." Mrs. Xu said again. She looked down and spoke in a low tone.

Qi Yiyu said: "Madame only remembers the female celebrity and medical skills since elementary school, and forgets everything else." There are indeed some doubts here, if there is any offense, please forgive me. ”

Mrs. Xu paused for a moment, raised her head, and said slowly: "You are the young lady of the Hou Mansion, but I am the wife of the imperial court, and you have no right to inquire about me." But now that you have come, you must have been ordered by your superiors.

"But it's not me.

"Even if you doubt my origin, you should know that if I am a spy and have been working for Wu Ra since I came to the Xu family, do you think Northwest Liaodong can be so peaceful? Would He Chu still be so jealous of Da Yin?

"When I arrived at the Xu family, it was eighteen years ago, when Wu Ra was still in power with He Chu's father.

"Even if I am a spy sent by Wura, I will be the one who was sent by the old Wura King. Why am I still working hard for He Chu, who has just succeeded to the throne?

"Or you will say, maybe I am a pawn laid by He Chu eighteen years ago, but He Chu eighteen years ago, he was still a concubine born to a cheap concubine, and he was still struggling to survive.

"Where did he get the strength to cultivate chess pieces, and he still calculated that he would have the strength to fight against the powerful country in the future of more than ten years?

"Besides, when my father-in-law saved me, I was almost dead, I didn't know who saved me, his son would be a general in the future, how could I control who would save me? What kind of people will it fall on?

"I've had these eighteen years, and I've been so clever that I've not been noticed in front of the details, so why don't I sneak into the Jingshi to find a higher goal?

"According to you, I should have the time and conditions, shouldn't I? Miss Qi has ever heard of a meticulous worker, who squats in one place and does not move the nest? ”

Qi Yiyi heard a little coldness in her words, and she also knew how unpleasant she was this trip, but she still had to know what she should know.

She said, "What Madame said is well founded.

"But I still want to ask Madame to answer my question, where is Madame's ancestral home? Why do you only remember the female red medicine you learned in your childhood, but you don't even remember your birthplace?

"And," she paused, "Madame and the general have a very good relationship, why do they have only one son so far?" ”

Every word she said can stand up to scrutiny, and it seems that unless Xu Kun conspires with her, it is impossible to be suspicious.

But she is not suspicious, she is not suspicious, but she can't be bypassed by her words about the task given to her by Yan Tang.

"Everyone has their own past, as long as I can prove that I am not a spy, why do you have to ask me about my private affairs?"

Mrs. Xu stared at her: "If I am suspected just because I went to the armory that day, then, the girl was also present that day, as Miss Houfu, and as a master in Beijing, you have more access to secrets than me, isn't it more suspicious?" ”
