Day after day, more than two months have passed. In February, the weather is a bit anti-spring, and the domestic birds that do not fly to the south room on the eaves take advantage of the warm midday sun to come out happily and stretch their wings.

Ruoyi saw that Zhu Ran was lying on the desk reading a book, and persuaded with a smile: "It's warm outside today, the birds have come out to stretch their muscles, and we will also go out to stretch our bodies and minds!" ”

I couldn't stand it, dragged and persuaded him, and walked outside, and saw the sycamore and the two maids in the courtyard talking and laughing about something. Zhu Ran looked at the three of them, glanced at Ruoyi, and walked over quietly with her to see what they were doing!

"Huh! Have you heard that Dong Jie, the county shou of Mingjun County, Yunzhou, embezzled three million taels of silver for a Qinglou woman! ”

"Who doesn't know that this is a sensation that has caused a stir in Kyoto! I heard that this Ming County Shou Dong is young, handsome, and talented, and won the first place in the imperial examination at the age of sixteen, and rose all the way, and he has become the county guard in less than thirty! I really envy that woman, if there is such a man who would do this for me! I'm content to lose my life! ”

"I heard that Dong Jie's father is the son of the country, the priest of the wine, Dong Changqing, Lord Dong!"

When Zhu Ran heard this, his heart was shocked, and he listened again: "How did I hear that this matter is also related to Hubu Shangshu Xi Susheng!" “

"None of you know as much! Just now I went to the dining room to get food, and I happened to hear Sister Miaoqi next to the princess talking with others, saying, ah......" Wutong said the key point, deliberately selling Guan Zi without speaking.

Zhu Ran walked up to her and asked, "What did Miaoqi say?" ”

Wutong thought that Zhu Ran was angry, and quickly knelt down and said: "The slave and maid know that they are wrong, and I hope that Mrs. will punish them, and the slave and maid should not chew the root of people's tongues behind their backs!" ”

Zhu Ran frowned and asked anxiously, "What did she say?" 1510 Say it and I'll listen! ”

"Wonderful...... Miaoqi said that Lord Hubu Shangshu Xi and Lord Dong of Mingjun County took a fancy to a Qinglou woman at the same time, and the West Lord had a lot of money and did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to redeem the woman, but the Qinglou woman was already secretly in love with Lord Dong, and Lord Dong secretly hid the silver handed over to the treasury for the sake of that woman, and was accused afterwards of ......"

Embezzling the imperial court's grain and salary is a great crime to exterminate the three clans! Wouldn't her cousin and uncle all ...... To be killed. When my mother learned about it, wouldn't it be heart-wrenching? Thinking of this, he staggered back a step, stabilized his mind and said to Ruoyi beside him: "You go and inquire about the details of this matter." ”

After another tea time, suddenly a little maid came to deliver the letter. Zhu Ran looked at the delicate little Kai of his mother Dong Yuqing on the envelope, and he didn't need to open the envelope, and he knew the content of the letter.

Yes

When I put pen to paper and wrote this letter, my heart fell like a thousand pounds of boulder. I believe that seeing this, you know the intention of your mother's letter. Jie'er was greedy for food and salary, the evidence was conclusive, the city was shocked, and he was sentenced to death, and it was a foregone conclusion that his parents and clansmen would be affected. Yesterday, I learned about this by chance, and it was like the sky was falling. Murder pays for life, debts are repaid, Jie'er swallows food and salary, as a bloody man, he should be responsible, he has been comforting himself like this yesterday, but he can't sleep at night, he can't sleep, and all the scenes that come to his mind are the pictures of his mother hugging Jie'er when she is not out of the cabinet. The four generations of the Dong family have been passed down from generation to generation, and their mother was willful and reckless when she was young, and she did things that insulted the lintel, which caused the Dong family to be ashamed and ashamed of their ancestors. In the matter of Jie'er today, I want to keep the bloodline of the Dong family in order to make up for it. At the same time, I know that Ran'er marries into the palace, looks at people's faces, and is struggling. Mother... Mother is in a dilemma! Thinking about it, I can only be embarrassed... Prince Zhiruixin has great ambitions. This matter is very important, in order to get Du Youcheng's help, I just hope that Ran'er can ask the prince to open the way and let Jie'er have a way to live. If this happens, the mother will die without regrets.

Mother, Yuqing.

Zhu Ran held the letter paper, and after being in a trance, he said to Ruoyi: "There is something wrong with today's clothes and makeup." ”

Ruoyi didn't know why, and said with a smile: "Madame, why do you care about this today!" ”

"I want to see the prince, you will retouch it for me."

After hearing this, Ruoyi's face was overjoyed and she was relieved: "Madame has finally figured it out!" ”

It's just that Zhu Heyu refuses to see her. When she arrived at the door of Qingfeng Residence, the maid at the door said carefully: "The prince said that he didn't want to see you, and asked the princess to go back." ”

"You go in and report it again, and say I'm waiting for him here." Zhu Ran did not give up.

The maid quickly came out, shook her head and said to Zhu Ran: "The prince said that he didn't want to see you... I'm afraid of hurting myself Yaxing. ”

She must see Zhu Heyu today, walked to the middle of the door, knelt on the ground, and shouted to the room: "Lord Wang, please see your concubine." ”

Qingfeng Ju Lin Yunchen is playing chess with Zhu Heyu. Lin Yunchen looked at Zhu Heyu and asked tentatively, "People are outside, you really don't plan to see them?" ”

Zhu Heyu stared at the chessboard, holding the chess pieces in his hand, and landed in one place, without speaking.

"This is cold and snowy, are you willing to let the third sister-in-law kneel at the door?" Lin Yunchen still didn't give up.

Zhu Heyu still pretended to be calm and relaxed on his face, and he fell again.

Lin Yunchen saw that Zhu Heyu's two chess pieces were not up to the usual level, and he laughed secretly, if he cared, he cared, why pretend to be so cold.

"I haven't seen my third sister-in-law for a long time, you don't see her, I'm going out to see her!" Lin Yunchen stood up and straightened up.

Zhu Heyu finally spoke and threatened Lin Yunchen: "If you leave at this time, you will admit defeat!" The sword that snatched me will be sent to my house tomorrow. ”

Lin Yunchen had already gotten up and walked out, saying as he walked: "Stingy, just pay you back!" ”

Zhu Ran knelt on the ground, didn't wait for Zhu Heyu, but waited for Lin Yunchen, and begged him in a low voice: "Yunchen, you beg him, I must see him today!" ”

Lin Yunchen looked at Zhu Ran's pale and emaciated face, and wanted to help her up, "Don't kneel on the ground, get up and talk!" ”

Zhu Ran refused, and said softly, "I'll get up, and he won't let me in." ”

"Get up!" Lin Yunchen bowed down as he spoke, and said in Zhuran's ear: "The third brother wants me to take you into the house, he-don't you know, he can't put it down." Don't mention that I've told you this later! ”

Zhu Ran walked indoors, Lin Yunchen didn't want to disturb Zhu Ran and Zhu Heyu, so he walked outside the house.

After entering the house, he first saluted, Zhu Heyu fiddled with the chess pieces and did not speak for a long time. He misses her, wants to see her, but he's also angry with her! I haven't seen her for more than two months, and she has never taken the initiative to come. Why are you here today? She once asked him what the relationship between Dong Haojie and Dong Changqing was,And said that her mother's surname is Dong,Dong Yuqing,Dong Changqing,Dong Haojie,Dong Jie,What is the relationship?

Finally opened his mouth and asked her, "I came here today to ask for this king," paused, hid the hope in his tone, and continued: "Or do you want this king?" ”

"Dong Changqing is the uncle of the concubine, Dong Jie is the cousin of the concubine, and the concubine came to ......"

"Get out, get out!" Zhu Heyu knew why she came to him today when she heard half of it, she really wouldn't think about him, if it weren't for Dong Jie, she wouldn't have come over, thinking of this, she was depressed, and she overturned the chessboard, and the chess pieces fell to the ground with a clatter.

d will come
