And all these things also made Chen Yanxue, who has been protected in the greenhouse, open her real growth path.

After several fruitless searches for Duguyi, Chen Ping's control in the capital has been gradually revoked recently. Dugu Yi took the opportunity to start looking for Shi Xuezhu who he couldn't let go.

"Your Highness, your lord has fully recovered, for the sake of safety, I wonder if Your Highness is considering returning to the palace?" A dark guard asked out of duty.

"Nope." Dugu Yi still waved his hand in denial.

"This time out of the palace, I will definitely find out the result. Chen Ping's old thief has done all the bad things, I don't know how many people are forced to be involved like Shi Xuezhu's father, and now he is still planning his treacherous schemes, if I don't find out the reason, wouldn't I have failed those dead souls. Dugu Yi said to himself in his heart.

He always remembered his mission, and when he thought of Shi Xuezhu, he couldn't just give up.

Since ending that unpleasant conversation with An Wenzhao, Wang Xiaojun thought about it for a long time and was ashamed, and then urged his father to go home as soon as possible on the grounds of physical discomfort, and he didn't want to mention the matter of getting married for the time being.

Wang Wei saw his daughter's reaction, thought about it, and probably came up with one or two, and then took his daughter's meaning, and then took the family to prepare to say goodbye to An Wenzhao.

"Brother Wang came to my house this time, An someone has not been fully prepared, and I have to forgive Brother Wang for neglecting it, next time Brother Wang comes, I need to put a letter in advance, and someone An will make proper arrangements!"

"Brother An is polite, how can I, Wang Wei, care about this, you can stop, and tell me next time you go back to Beijing, bring the old lady to my house, and I will come to wash the dust for you!"

The old brothers said goodbye with some reluctance, and Wang Wei's family went away.

"Brother Wang came this time, I still have a lot of words to say to him......" An Wenzhao looked at them in the distance and sighed.

"Master, if you haven't said it, keep it first, and it's okay to talk about it later." Mrs. Ann smiled and comforted him.

When such an unexpected situation happened, Mrs. An was very unhappy.

The adults had already agreed to the matter, but they didn't expect the problem to be with the child, guessing that this matter must have nothing to do with An Wenzhao and Qin Liusu, so she immediately ordered someone to call the two to her room.

"Grandma, what did you call us for?" Seeing that Mrs. An looked at them and didn't speak for a long time, An Wenzhao couldn't help but open her mouth first.

"Zhao'er, you said, what did you promise grandma? Say it in front of this girl. ”

"Grandma, I promised you something, I don't remember." An Wenzhao, who heard this, glanced at Qin Liusu.

"You don't remember!" Mrs. An, who is very fond of An Wenzhao on weekdays, had a look of anger on her face, and the crutches in her hand slammed on the ground: "Since you don't remember, I'll tell you." ”

The old lady put the cane aside, glanced at Qin Liusu, and said to An Wenzhao: "After this girl disappeared, the day you came back, you begged me coquettishly, as long as I agreed to your father and mother to adopt her, you would depend on me for everything." This girl is sitting here today, I am saying this for you, and by the way, I will tell her that let the girl be a witness to remember, this is your promise to grandma. ”

Every word of Mrs. An, Qin Liusu on the side could understand it, but she was speechless.

She knew that Mrs. An had never recognized her granddaughter once, and she also knew that only in front of Mrs. An would she have that kind of pain under the fence, and she also knew that even if she had entered the house and recognized her father, the old lady reminded her all the time: she was not recognized.

But she couldn't figure out why Mrs. An couldn't tolerate her.

"Grandma, Qin Liusu is not a girl who shouts casually, she has a name." An Wenzhao, who had already left an important place for Qin Liusu in his heart, heard that the focus was obviously about his sister.

"Zhao'er! You heard grandma clearly. What Grandma wants you to do is to marry Xiaojun as his wife, not for you to blame Grandma for calling this girl's name wrong. Mrs. An sighed.

"Zhao'er, I saw that this girl Xiaojun looked very disappointed today, it must have been something you said that made her angry. This girl must be no less involved! ”

"Grandma, it has nothing to do with Qin Liusu, I quarreled with her."

"Shut up, what is the relationship between you and Xiaojun, they went to school together and grew up together since childhood, and they are childhood sweethearts. You her off today, how do you make your dad face her dad? Mrs. An didn't give An Wenzhao a chance to interject at all, took a sip of tea, and continued:

"You promised your grandmother that it would count. That Wang Wei is a loyal minister of the two dynasties, your father and him are world friends, you and Xiaojun are very suitable, this family, grandma is in charge, it is a decision. ”

"Grandma, I won't marry Xiaojun." An Wenzhao ran out of patience, and after speaking, he pulled Qin Liusu to go out.

"The girl stays, I still have something to say to her."

"Brother......" Qin Liusu glanced at An Wenzhao, and An Wenzhao went out first.

"Ann...... The old lady ......, "Qin Liusu, who was alone in the face of Mrs. An, couldn't help but be in awe of her, and called the old lady hesitantly, but she still couldn't hide her fear in her heart.

"Girl, do you know what I'm going to tell you?"

"I ...... Qin Liusu didn't know. ”

"Don't know? Then I'll just say, just listen. ”

"Yes...... Old lady. Qin Liusu looked at Mrs. An and nodded.

"Zhao'er and Xiaojun's family affairs, you should also know. The two of them, that is a pair made in heaven, no one can be separated, although you are Zhao'er's sister now, you also have to know to avoid suspicion, after all, it is not biological, do you understand. ”

Qin Liusu listened word-for-word, only daring to nod.

"Don't think that I don't know anything without leaving this room every day. Since you came, Zhao'er's soul has been as if it was hooked by you, and it is sticking with you every day, what kind of system is this? Mrs. An took another sip of tea and continued:

"Zhao'er is good to you, you can just accept it when you see it, he's naughty, you just avoid him, don't let everyone gossip."

"Qin Liusu knows, old lady, I only regard him as an elder brother, and I just want to avoid him in the future." Qin Liusu just agreed.

"It's good to know, you can go." Qin Liusu was about to say goodbye and walk out of the door when he heard this, but was stopped by the old lady again.

"When I go back, I packed my bags, and after a few days, I will go back to the capital with me and Zhao'er to live for a few days, so as not to make everyone think that my wife has treated you badly." After that, he let Qin Liusu go.

After many days of suffering and waiting, Dugu Yi had lost his patience, and not receiving a trace of information about Shi Xuezhu had made him predict that she might be more than lucky.

Dugu Yi took the dark guard to the outside of the Chen Mansion with his face covered, and ordered the secret guard to intercept him after a small guy went out, and after some threats and intimidation, the little guy said that Shi Xuezhu's body had been sent to Mingyue Nunnery.

Hearing the news that Shi Xuezhu was dead, Dugu Yi's heart let go and sank.

This woman who met in Pingshui gave her life for him unconditionally.

He once thought that when he returned to the palace, he would make her his concubine, and he would leave all the grievances behind him. He had also thought that if she really died, he would avenge her.

But he never thought that now that she was really dead, his heart was like dead, and no matter what kind of mission he had, he couldn't replace the pain in his heart at the moment.

In his mind, what he remembered was her unwavering face when he first saw her, her face full of tears when she complained about her family feud, her worried face when she saw him hit by an arrow, her relieved face when she blocked the arrow, and her firm face when he left.

He stood there for a long time, and wrote all the resentment and bitterness in his eyes. Because his father once taught him: As the king of a country, he must not show his face in joy, anger and sorrow, and he must not bow down when he is physically and mentally exhausted.

His waist was straight, like a statue.

Dugu Yi ordered the secret guard to go back to his residence first to standby, and he went to Mingyue Nunnery alone.

No matter how Dugu Yi asked, Master Nan Jing refused to answer everything about Shi Xuezhu.

"This young young man, Miss Chen Fu has already explained, after Miss Shi Xuezhu died, she just wants to be a monk quietly, and she doesn't want anyone to disturb her, and please don't embarrass the poor nuns." With that, he turned around and left without hesitation, leaving Dulyi standing there alone.

"Your Highness." At this time, Dugu Yi suddenly received a secret report from the palace.

"Who sent this?" The secret report with no specific origin made Dugu Yi suspicious.

"The subordinates don't know, they only know that it was sent from the palace, but they didn't say who sent it."

The secret report told Dugu Yi that if he wanted to eradicate the traitor Chen Ping, he needed the help of two people, one was the squire Wang Wei, and the other was Anyang Hou An Wenxun.

Wang Wei is a person who Dugu Yi has long looked at, although he has not paid much attention to the government for many years, but he is also easy to contact, but this Anyang Marquis named An Wenxun, Dugu Yi does not have a deep impression of him, only knows that he has ignored the government since his father Emperor Jing was alive, and has moved away for many years.

"Did the letter say where is this person now?"

"Back to Your Highness, the letter did not mention it."

Dugu Yizhi sent the secret guard to inquire about the whereabouts of Anyanghou's family, and learned that Anyanghou's old mother and his son were still living in the capital, and Anyanghou and his wife moved to a small city some distance from the capital, and there was a small town called Wuwu in the city.

"Go to Sanssouci Town." Dugu Yi and the dark guard packed their packages and set off for Sanssouci Town.

An Wenxun and his wife heard the news that Mrs. An was going to bring Qin Liusu and An Wenzhao back to the capital together, and they were really a little reluctant.

But when I thought that this was also a kind of recognition of Qin Liusu by Mrs. An, I couldn't help but feel relieved.

"Xun'er, I know you can't bear your baby girl, the girl you just received hasn't been with you for a few days, and she is going to go to the capital with me to play.

In the main hall, Mrs. An sat in the hall and said to An Wenxun after drinking a few sips of tea.

"But, everyone has taken it, and I, who is a grandmother, can't let people gossip about me and treat her badly." Before he finished speaking, everyone looked at Mrs. An in unison.

"Grandma, do you admit that Qin Liusu is your old granddaughter?" An Wenzhao was the first to ask proudly.

"My grandson, if you are concerned, what can you do if grandma doesn't admit it!" Mrs. An smiled, and then deliberately played a temper like a child.

An Wenxun on the side also looked at Qin Liusu with a happy face, and said to her, "Qin Liusu, call grandma quickly." ”

Qin Liusu felt flattered, she was at a loss at first, then quickly thought about it, then knelt in front of Mrs. An and called out, "Grandma." ”

Mrs. An also answered her, and Mrs. An next to her smiled happily when she saw it.

It is rare for a large family to be immersed in such joy together, and its sense of happiness and beauty is needless to say.

Sanssouci is exactly what its name suggests.

The first time Dugu Yi came to such a place, he was attracted by an inexplicable atmosphere.

Sanssouci Town is a small place, but it is full of soothing atmosphere. Compared with the small city it is in, Sanssouci Town has almost lost the taste of competing for fame and fortune, let alone comparing it to the capital or the imperial palace.

Perhaps because of its proximity to the mountains, Sanssouci Town naturally has a more mountainous atmosphere. But because of this, there is a simple folk style that outsiders do not have.

Children can play freely in the streets, and adults never worry about official cars and horses suddenly crashing into the crowd.
