Huai Dong's face was colorless, he crawled forward on his knees, kowtowed to Duan Xiaolou and He Angelica two or three times, and cried and wailed: "Spare your life, spare your life!" Although I took the golden lock, I really didn't put the fire! My lord, I have always put the gold lock in the placket of my clothes, and I have never taken it out once, how can it be stained with charcoal powder and printed on the wall? ”

He Angelica sneered in his heart, of course you haven't printed it, because I carved that pattern with a radish and asked Duan Xiaolou and others to print it on the wall. Huai Dong, Huai Dong, I was calculated by you in my previous life, and I was patronized by you in this life, you and I are really fateful.

Duan Xiaolou frowned and glanced at Huai Dong, who was disheveled and colorless, and finally felt a little unbearable in his heart, and finally said in a deep voice: "The arson can be investigated slowly, but the theft is already ironclad evidence, and in this dynasty, theft is punishable by up to three hundred miles of exile." You are a woman and a monk, if you ...... Miss He is willing to forgive you, maybe the punishment can be lighter, depending on whether your attitude of admitting your guilt is good. ”

Huai Dong's eyes lit up, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw in the sea. She knelt down and climbed forward a few steps, hugged He Angelica's calf, grabbed her hand indiscriminately, and shook it back and forth and said, "Miss He, Sister He, please let me go!" I didn't mean it, I had a hard time, because I was in dire need of a sum of money, so I hit the idea on your gold lock...... I was very short-sighted, and thought that the two-tael gold lock was worth twenty or thirty taels of silver at most, but I really didn't expect it to be so valuable, otherwise I wouldn't dare to steal it! ”

Suddenly, He Angelica looked moved, grabbed Huai Dong's wrist with his backhand and touched it for a moment. Huai Dong was at a loss to let her take the pulse, the tears on his face were intertwined, and he looked at her hopefully.

He Angelica let go of his hand, first lowered his eyelashes and was silent for a while, then raised his eyes to stare at Huai Dong, and asked in a very low voice: "Are you two months old?" Will you ...... Want him? Will you raise him? Can you guarantee that you will raise him as a man, whether it is a man or a woman? ”

Huai Dong was shocked, but he didn't expect the other party to tell his deepest secret just by touching his wrist.

"Answer my question!" He Angelica urged, but Huai Dong was stunned for a while.

Dao Gu, who was kneeling on the ground in the distance, looked at the two of them strangely, muttering something? Duan Xiaolou and Lu Jiangbei were the closest, and after listening to He Angelica's words, they vaguely guessed the meaning.

He Angelica insisted on whispering: "Answer me!" ”

Huai Dong grabbed He Angelica's hand with tears in his eyes and begged in a low voice: "Miss He, don't tell others, otherwise I won't have a way to live here." If it weren't for the desperation, I wouldn't dare to go to your house to steal things, and my child's father is not angry, so I came out to do this kind of stealing and touching dogs......"

He Angelica interrupted her words and asked in a low voice: "Tell me, whether it is a man or a woman, whether it is a father or not, do you swear that you will raise him as an adult?" ”

Huai Dong was stunned, and didn't understand why the other party asked this question repeatedly, so he had to nod and whisper: "This is natural, how can there be a mother who doesn't want to raise her own children, in fact, I steal things to save a few life money when I give birth to a child, Miss He, I beg you to do well......"

He Angelica breathed a sigh of relief lightly and broke away from the left hand that was being held by Huai Dong.

She turned her head to look at Duan Xiaolou, and said expressionlessly: "Lord Duan, the golden lock has been recovered, I will not sue the official for this matter, just close the case." As for the fire, it was probably an accident, and there were no casualties, so please give a light sentence as appropriate. I was very tired, so I withdrew. With that, she put away the golden lock, walked through the blackened kitchen, and walked towards the east wing.

Duan Xiaolou looked at the slender pink back, and his heart was inexplicable. The girl seemed to have many masks, and each mask made him can't help but get closer, making him want to know more about her, making him guess in his heart over and over again, what is the real her under the mask?

Lu Jiangbei looked at the dark kitchen and took a deep breath.

This morning, in the medicinal bath made with the recipe written by He Angelica, he and Gao Jue finally cleared the medicinal properties. After a night of steam bathing, Lu Jiangbei and Gao Jue's legs were a little weak, so they rested until the evening before going up the mountain. As soon as they entered the mountain gate, they were pulled aside by Duan Shao and Liao Shao, saying that something big happened here in the afternoon, Miss He's house was patronized by thieves, and she lost a golden lock given by her mother, and now she is very anxious. Duan Shao and Liao Shao planned to retrieve the golden lock for her, and asked the two of them if they were willing to go together to help. Lu Jiangbei was naturally willing to accompany him, but to his surprise, Gao Jue, who is usually never nosy, actually agreed coolly.

Duan Shao and Liao Shao had expressions of red rain in the sky. They asked Gao Jue if he was going, and it was only in passing - because anyone who knew Gao Jue a little knew that he would not go, and there was no why. Besides, the "Lock-Seeking Operation" was tonight, and she was so sleepy that she was willing to sacrifice her precious sleep time to help Miss He find something? Duan Shao nervously asked Gao Jue why he wanted to help, if he had any improper thoughts about Miss He, and immediately got a left hook from Gao Jue that hit the chin.

Lu Jiangbei looked up at the night sky, it was really hard to imagine that the mastermind behind the entire "lock-seeking operation" was actually a girl who had not yet reached the end of the day.

Lu Jiangbei has a feeling that she not only designed and arranged the whole play, but also considered every detail clearly. Everyone, from herself, Duan Shao, Liao Shao, to every Daogu in the water business view, all finished a scene in her design. However, when she found the golden lock, she exonerated the thief with a word just because he was two months pregnant.

What an enigmatic girl......

※※※

This night, He Angelica slept very steadily, as if he slept most soundly in this life.

After getting up to wash and change clothes, He Angelica suddenly wanted to comb a delicate delphinium bun, but obviously she couldn't do it by herself, so she went to the bed and dragged Zhenjing, who was still snoring, up. Zhenjing yawned loudly, with tears hanging from the corners of her eyes, holding a comb, grate and wooden hairpin in her hand, and confidently told He Angelica that he, an expert in combing hair, was about to show his talent this morning.

After a cup of tea, He Angelica cried. She felt like her hair had been ripped out of at least ten or more, though she nervously comforted her that it was all her hallucinations.

After a stick of incense, He Angelica resolutely took back his long hair, saying that he had already decided that he would have his hair loose all day today and never comb his hair again. really quietly picked up the twenty or thirty green silks that had just been pulled off, as well as the broken teeth of two or three combs, and finally touched his nose and muttered aggrievedly, this is the first time, who made you so fierce, just screamed loudly when you touched it, and people were afraid to break it......

He Angelica secretly swore in his heart that when he returned to Luo's house, he would definitely find another maid who specialized in combing his hair, and send Zhenjing to do something else, whatever she wanted, in short, to keep her away from the dresser.

After a while, Huai Wen quietly sent a note, saying that Zhenzhu asked her to send it, and after saying that, she covered her face with her sleeves and ran away.

He Angelica opened the note and looked at it, to the effect that Taishan was furious after returning last night, and after closing the door, he first scolded He Angelica, and then scolded Huaixin and Huaidong, and scolded all night in a row, with wonderful and rich words. So Zhenzhu persuaded He Angelica that she had fallen out with Taishan anyway, so she didn't have to go to the pharmacy to help with the medicine, and if she needed any medicine, she would let Zhenjing write a prescription and send it to her, and she would bring it in two days.

He Angelica smiled slightly, it just so happened that all the medicines that could be used had been taken away from the medicine house yesterday, and there was no need to go back to do small work. And today I have my hair scattered, and I just don't want to go out to meet people. So, He Angelica pushed the table to the window and began to leisurely arrange the medicinal herbs, dividing them into two piles.

Zhen Jing saw that she didn't seem to be angry about what happened just now, so she took advantage of the situation to get close: "Xiaoyi, you know so many medicinal materials, you are really knowledgeable." Seeing that He Angelica didn't react, he asked her another question, "Why do you want to divide them into two piles?" ”

"This pile is for me to recuperate, and the other pile is of greater use," He Angelica blinked mysteriously, "and it is a secret that cannot be divulged." Zhenjing pouted and went out to fetch water with a bucket.

Lu Jiangbei walked to the door and saw a girl in a plain white coat sitting in front of the window, looking down and fiddling with some medicinal herbs.

The morning light shines through the window lattice, hitting the side of her face, and it is reflected in the slightest. Her eyes were bright, as bright as dustless seawater, and with her small nose and pointed chin, she was indescribably loving. Three thousand green silks were scattered on her shoulders, setting off her fair complexion even more. Lu Jiangbei never thought that before a woman made up, she would be so beautiful that it would take people's breath away.

He Angelica, who was immersed in medicine, noticed a trace of abnormality, so she looked up, her eyes were intersecting with the person outside the door, and she was slightly surprised when she saw that the person who came was Lu Jiangbei, and she didn't get up to greet her for a while.

Lu Jiangbei realized that Miss He did not wear the dress when she went out, and only had a homely coat on her body, and it was very rude for her to stare at others like this. So he hurriedly turned his back and confessed: "I'm sorry, I waited outside the East Chambers for a long time just now and couldn't find anyone to say a word, so I had to rush in." ”

He Angelica unhurriedly took a light blue fine silk gown and put it on, buttoned it while buttoning it, and asked, "Why does Lord Lu have time to come here?" ”

Lu Jiangbei took his hand, looked at a cloud in the sky and smiled: "Miss He, I have a happy event to tell you." ”

He Angelica buttoned the button, sat back on the stool in front of the window, pulled a blue cloth string, tied his long hair and asked, "What kind of happy event?" Please speak. ”

Lu Jiangbei heard that the sound of squirming had stopped, so he turned around: "These words should not have been said directly to Miss He, nor should I have been a big man running to tell you." However, now it is on the top of the mountain, there is no one to be served, there is no honor guard, and everything is a little shabby. Therefore, it is expedient, and Lu is presumptuous. ”

He Angelica looked at Lu Jiangbei, who was dressed in a green shirt in front of him and was talking in a deep and misty manner, and asked suspiciously: "What is such a big deal to be so solemn?" ”

Lu Jiangbei sat down across the table, put a palm-sized red brocade box in front of her, and said with a smile, "Please open it and take a look." ”

He Angelica took it as he said, took the lid of the box and saw that it was a pile of paper, and he became more and more puzzled. Lu Jiangbei motioned for her to open it with her eyes, so she took out one of the papers, opened it and took a look, and there was surprise in her eyes that she couldn't hide.

The title deed of the "Yu Baoqing" silk village in the capital.

Take two or three more, the deed of the "Bo Garden" in the capital, and the deed of 100 acres of land around the garden.

Then he picked up a stack of thick-grained paper stacked together, five hundred taels of silver tickets, a total of five; There are also three small silver bills with a face value of 25 taels.

He Angelica looked at it all quietly, then folded it again, put it back in the box, and then covered the lid. Lu Jiangbei kept staring at her face, what kind of girl would be indebted to the things in the box that even had a look of surprise or joy?

He Angelica handed the brocade box back to Lu Jiangbei, and when he saw that the other party didn't reach out to take it, he had to put the brocade box on the table and said with a smile: "Lord Lu, you didn't come to show off to me with five or six thousand taels of property early in the morning, right?" If you have something to say, please speak up. ”

Lu Jiangbei was attracted by the word "show off", but this smile melted in the sourness of his heart, and finally sank to the bottom. Hanging up an expression like a spring breeze, Lu Jiangbei smiled and said, "Miss He is a straightforward person, so I won't go around in circles." Today, Lu is a matchmaker, Duan Shao has a deep love for girls and wants to marry you. ”
