Back to Linsu, it is the season of Qingrang's marriage last year, the scenery along the way is the same, but for Qingrang's mood has changed too much, from the moment he entered Linsu City, his ears are "Second Miss is back" such a voice, rumors are always faster than horses running, she arrived at Duanmu Mansion, Steward Zhang was already waiting at the gate.

"I heard that the second miss is back, and the old slave thought it was a mistake, but it was really the second miss!"

The next person came to lead the horse, and Qing Rang looked up at the plaque with three big characters of "Duanmu Mansion", and his heart was as heavy as a thousand catties.

"Second Miss, hurry up and enter the house, the master will be very happy to know that you are back."

"Steward Zhang, when did you forget the rules." Duanmu Qingrang lifted the skirt to the right, and Steward Zhang reacted at this time, the second lady has always only entered the house from the side door, this is the rule of the Duanmu family, and non-main houses are not allowed to enter from the gate, although the lord said that this rule was abolished, but the second lady has always only entered the house from the side door, and he also forgot it for a while when he saw the second miss too happy.

Along the way, Steward Zhang respectfully followed behind her, Qing Rang asked about the eldest lady, Steward Zhang replied, the eldest lady went to the mountain to repay the wish since the old man came back from Beijing, saying that he had made a wish to the Bodhisattva for half a year to ensure that the old man returned to Linsu safely.

"The eldest young master's matter, the eldest lady still doesn't know?"

Manager Zhang didn't dare to hide it, "The master said don't alarm Mrs. for the time being." ”

"Where is the lord now?"

"The lord is in the lotus house."

Qing let Mr. Zhang go on, went to the lotus house alone, the lotus has not yet opened, a pool of lotus leaves green, every year at this time her mother likes to sit in the window to watch, to see when the lotus blooms the first flower, and dad always likes to sit on the edge of the lotus pond to drink tea, he said that so her mother will look at him when she looks at the lotus.

Looking up now, the window where her mother looked at the lotus was still open, but there was a burst of coughing sound in the house, which made her anxious, and she walked in quickly, Qing Rang saw his father's bent back, because of the cough and trembling, Qing Rang's heart was sour, and he hurriedly stepped forward and gently patted Duanmu Anrui on the back.

Duanmu Anrui turned his head and saw his daughter's worried face, as well as a pair of reddish eyes on her face, revealing a calm smile, and quietly stuffed the handkerchief that she had just covered her mouth into her clothes, "Our daughter is back......"

"Daddy......" Qing Rang hugged Duanmu An Rui Haohao and cried, anxious and worried and afraid all the way, she was completely released in front of her father, Duanmu patted his daughter's back, "How old is it, how can you cry your nose more than when you were a child." In Jingshi, he didn't even see his father's face and went to Yu Zichen, how can he be willing to come back now? Didn't you get kicked by someone? ”

Qing Rang was ridiculed by her father and blushed, "Zichen is very good to me, what do you kick or not, when has your daughter been disliked by others." ”

"That's just as well." As he spoke, he couldn't stop coughing, and Qingrang quickly poured him a glass of water, "Dad, what's wrong with you?" ”

"I caught a cold at night, I have already asked the doctor to take a look, just take a few pairs of medicines, you look like a dusty servant, you must not have eaten well on the way, right? I'm hungry now, so I'll have some food to bring me, and I'll have an appetite for you. ”

Qingrang nodded, "Dad, if you are not well, you can rest first, and I will go and let the next person prepare some food." ”

Lianju has always not let the redundant maids serve, in the past, Jin Niang was one to serve, and the maids next to him also did not live in Lianju, Qing let Fang come all the way in and did not see the shadow of the next person, I am afraid that after she got married, his father will still take care of it as before, so she now has to go to the kitchen in person to order.

Before arriving at the kitchen, Qing Rang saw Sister-in-law Li in the kitchen, and hurriedly shouted to stop her, Sister-in-law Li was happy to see that the person who came was actually the second lady, Qing Rang let her be sent to Lianju by a few dishes, Sister-in-law Li hurriedly said, "I'll send these back to the back house!" ”

"What are these?" Qing Rang looked at the things in Sister-in-law Li's hand, and the packaging was very exquisite.

"Second Miss, let me tell you that you don't tell the master, this is Miss Hua Shu sent from Jingshi, the master doesn't know if it's angry with Miss Hua Shu, these pastries are thrown away, I look at it, it just so happens that Miss Yushan has a bad appetite recently, send her some."

"You can send it, tell Yushan that I am back, and I will go to see her and my aunt later." She guessed that her father was angry with the eldest prince for the affairs of Jingshi, so she didn't want to eat the things sent by Hua Shu, and Yushan had always liked these.

When Qing Rang returned to Lianju, Duanmu Anrui was rummaging through the cabinet, as if he was looking for something.

"Dad, what are you looking for?"

"Qingrang, do you remember where you put the dress your mother made for your father that year?"

Qing Rang opened the cabinet door on Duanmu Anrui's head, "I put it here, you are always reluctant to wear it, why do you suddenly remember it now?" "In previous years, it was always my mother's death day that my father would take out that dress, and I was reluctant to wear it just to look at it.

"I just suddenly remembered this dress, but I couldn't remember where you put it." Duanmu Anrui held the dress, Qing Rang would always laugh at him in the past if he didn't wear it because he disliked his mother's craftsmanship, in fact, he was afraid that he would have to wash it if it was dirty, and it would be bad if he washed it, because no one did it for him anymore, even if it was a long sleeve and a short sleeve, no one would do it so much to his liking.

"Dad, you put down this dress first, now what is more important than this dress is the eldest brother!"

Duanmu Anrui's expression was a little more solemn than before, "I will know that you must know about this when you come back, but Qing'er, don't worry, your eldest brother will be fine." ”

"Dad, do you have a way to save your eldest brother?" Qingrang's face was happy, "No wonder you have been so calm, and you are still laughing with me, tell me quickly, what is the method?" ”

Sister-in-law Li entered the house with a tray of food, and Duanmu Anrui pulled her daughter, "Let's eat first, talk while eating, your little face is so thin that you only have eyeballs left." ”

It is natural for the old man to love the second lady in the hearts of the old people in Duanmu Mansion, but he hasn't seen it with his own eyes for a long time, and Sister-in-law Li couldn't help but laugh loudly. Qing Rang also felt that her father was too exaggerated, but Sister-in-law Li felt embarrassed by this smile, "Sister-in-law Li, give things to Yushan, do she like it?" ”

"What's that?" Duanmu Anrui asked casually.

Sister-in-law Li was afraid that the master was afraid of being silent, but Qing Rang noticed her concerns and returned for her: "It's something that my father can't look at, it's not my daughter who says Dad, what the eldest prince does wrong has nothing to do with Hua Shu, the things she sent are so precious are all her hearts, why did Dad let his subordinates throw them away?" ”

"You sent those things to Yushan?" It was rare for Duanmu Anrui to reprimand his subordinates so loudly in front of Qing Rang, "Go and get it back and throw it away for me, remember, there is still no one to pick it up, far away!" ”

Sister-in-law Li was so frightened that she said yes again and again, and went out in a hurry, and Qing Rang was also startled, "Dad, what's wrong with you?" Did Hua Shu do something wrong? ”

Duanmu Anrui was smooth, "You don't need to worry about these things, Qingrang, you remember, you are now a person from Yufu, even if you are Hua Shu, don't have too much contact in the future." ”

Qing Rang put down the chopsticks, and also snatched Duanmu Anrui's chopsticks, and didn't let him eat, "Dad, you tell me the truth, what did you hide from me, I went to see the eldest brother in prison, and he also hid something from me, he said let me ask you, you tell me, how did the prince die, why did the eldest brother go to prison, you treat Hua Shu like this now, is it all related to the eldest prince?" ”

Duanmu Anrui couldn't help but start coughing again, and Qing Rang helped him smooth out, "I guessed right, right?" ”

"Qing'er, close the door, Dad has something to say to you."

Qing Rang got up and looked around, learned a few cat meows, and appeared in front of her dressed in black, "Confused, I have something to talk about with my father, please go to the front yard to guard for us." ”

"Yes, ma'am." After receiving the order, he disappeared.

Qing Rang closed the door, Duanmu Anrui asked her who she was talking to, and Qing Rang said that it was Yu Zichen's secret guard sent to protect her.

"I didn't look away at him at the beginning, and I was relieved to be so careful with you."

"Dad, you're far away, don't try to fool me anymore."

Duanmu Anrui smiled, "Dad doesn't fool you, do you remember the Mama Li you were trying to save at that time?" “

Qingrang nodded, "I remember, didn't Zichen save her and send her to Linsu?" ”

"Before she could get to Linsu, she was robbed, it turned out that she knew the secret of the Queen Mother's murder."

"What's the secret? Could it be ......?"

"Yes, it was the prince who poisoned the queen mother, the queen mother wanted to abolish the prince, and the prince assassinated the queen mother in order to keep his identity, so the prince was demoted to Linsu."

Qing Rang never thought that the person who assassinated the Queen Mother would be the crown prince, the first queen died early, and the queen mother has always been the most supportive force for the prince, "Then why did the queen mother abolish the prince?" ”

"Because the Queen Mother knew that the prince had put me under house arrest, the Queen Mother has always attached importance to ethics and morality, I am the uncle of the country, and the prince is disrespectful to me in the eyes of the Queen Mother." Qing Rang knew that the Queen Mother had always adhered to the ethics of the eldest and youngest concubines, and she was very clear about respect and inferiority, but the abolished prince would never do it for this, maybe she wanted to scare the prince, who knew that the prince really had a poisonous hand, and Qing Rang couldn't help but feel sad for the queen mother.

"Then how could the prince die in Linsu?"

"Hey, it's a hatred again, in the early years, the prince had the bad habit of raising prostitutes, and after the queen mother severely punished him, he restrained somewhat, but when he came to Linsu, he may have been frustrated and depressed and made old mistakes, but the boy arrested this time is the grandson of your Uncle Xu's family, Qiuguan."

"So my brother was ...... for Qiu Guan" The son of Uncle Xu's family is a few years older than the eldest brother, and he was born and died in the army with the eldest brother, and died on the battlefield the year before last, and the eldest brother has always treated Qiu Guan like his own child, "The eldest brother really killed the prince?" ”

Duanmu Anrui nodded, although Qing Rang felt that the prince was innocent of death, but suddenly he didn't know what to do with the eldest brother, "Dad, the eldest brother ......"

Suddenly, there were several cat meows outside the house, and Qingrang frowned, "Dad, someone is coming!" ”
