Qin Wan nodded, "Mother, don't worry, my daughter knows how to do it." ”

Seeing that Qin Wan and Qin Ruizhuo were a little sleepy, Bai Zhishui did not leave two of them.

Generally speaking, at the end of the year, no matter what the case is, as long as it is not a homicide case, it will wait until the year after the year to retry, but the money can be printed is a big deal, it is expressly forbidden by the old emperor, and it is serious, it is to destroy the nine clans, so Dali Temple does not dare to slack off, and immediately open the trial of the case.

Qin Dongshan was very nervous, although he knew that the people in the Dou Mansion would not confess him, but in the end, he was weak-hearted and did not dare to take it lightly, in order to avoid suspicion, he did not dare and was not qualified to meddle in the case, so he could only secretly follow up the progress of the case every day.

was so scared that he even wanted to stuff Qin Wan in front of the old emperor and exchange her for the peace of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The speed of Dali Temple is very fast, the human and material evidence is complete, and Dou Zhi also knows that this time it is a capital crime, so he confessed without too much struggle.

The case took less than five days from interrogation to conclusion, Dou Mansion was raided, Dou Zhi was directly sentenced to death, and the rest of Dou Mansion was sentenced to exile.

Because Dou Zhifang's Yinzi money is huge and has a very bad impact, the old emperor has no mercy at all, the only surprise is that Mrs. Dou has already sent out a pair of her children.

Everyone naturally put their suspicions on Ji's body. She not only has a good relationship with Mrs. Dou, but also keeps the account books for her, and it is absolutely reasonable to say that Mrs. Dou handed over her children to the Ji family.

However, both the Ji family and the people around her strongly denied it, and the Ji family was just a concubine, with no grange, no shops, no place to place the two children, and no spare money to raise the two children.

In the end, after confirming that the Ji family really had nothing to do with the matter, the crisis in the Prime Minister's Mansion was resolved.

As for Ji's custody of the account books, because she was illiterate and was taken advantage of, the old emperor opened up and only punished Qin Dongshan for one year, and gave him a serious warning. The old emperor, who never interfered in the minister's backyard, wanted Qin Dongshan to clean up the backyard for the first time, and if he did anything to spoil his concubine and kill his wife, he would wait to be dismissed.

Qin Dongshan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and took the opportunity to take the initiative to say a few words to Bai Zhishui at dinner time.

After the meal, he took the tea and said to Qin Wan: "Jiaojiao, you haven't seen your eldest sister for a few days, and it's coming to the end of the year, the house will be very busy, no one will accompany you, why don't you call your eldest sister?" ”

"Isn't the eldest sister in the ancestral hall?" Qin Wan asked rhetorically.

Qin Dongshan sneered, "Your eldest sister has been in the ancestral hall for more than half a month, and she has accompanied your Aunt Ji to atone for her sins, and it's almost the same, you are sisters, and you have to love each other." Moreover, you don't want others to come to our house at the end of the year and ask your eldest sister what to do, and it turns out to be in the ancestral hall. The impact on you is not good, you know, you are sisters, one is prosperous, one is lost, Jiaojiao doesn't want to have a shameless face, right? ”

Qin Wan nodded thoughtfully.

Qin Dongshan continued to instigate: "So whether it's for the face of the Prime Minister or your face, let your eldest sister and second brother out." ”

"What my father meant, Jiaojiao understood, but the eldest sister and the second brother took the initiative to enter the ancestral hall with Aunt Ji, because Aunt Ji was disrespectful to her mother. Before the final conclusion of my aunt's affairs has been reached, I will release them, is that okay? Qin Wan tilted her head and looked at the old lady Qin, "Grandmother, the Prime Minister is a new upstart in Shengjing, and my father is the head of the Qingliu, so if I release my aunt, I'm afraid it will be true." The most important thing is that the eldest sister and the second brother are advancing and retreating with their aunt, and they are one and the same with their aunt. ”

Qin Dongshan frowned impatiently, "Speaking of which, you just don't want your eldest sister to come out, I didn't expect you to be so selfish!" ”

"Where is Jiaojiao selfish?" Bai Zhishui asked rhetorically, "The Ji family is disrespectful to the main mother, framed the main mother, and planted eyeliner in the courtyard of the main mother, even if she is not handed over to the government, it should be taken care of by me, the main mother." Mingxuan and Mingyue went in on the grounds of atonement, and I, the master mother, have not yet sent out the Ji family, how can they come out? Bai Zhishui sneered, don't think that she doesn't know Qin Dongshan's thoughts, doesn't she just want to release the Ji family, why bother to make such a big bend.

Qin Dongshan's face was not good, he snorted heavily, and brushed his sleeves away.

Qin Wan drank the sugar water deliciously.

Old Madam Qin's face was also not good-looking, "What, Bai, are you going to exercise your mistress's rights now?" I'm still here! ”

Bai Zhishui smiled disapprehantly, "Mother-in-law is naturally the oldest elder in the Xiangfu, but the middle feed of the Xiangfu is in the hands of the daughter-in-law." Besides, the Ji family is disrespectful to the daughter-in-law, and as a daughter-in-law, she still has the right to send the Ji family. ”

"You ......"

"Mother-in-law, the hour is not early, and the daughter-in-law will go down with the two children first."

"It's the other way around!" Mrs. Qin slapped the armrest.

Qin Wan didn't care about these people, slept beautifully, and the next day, followed Bai Zhishui and Qin Ruizhuo to the Protector's Mansion.

In her previous life, the last time she went to the Protector's Mansion was 138 heads, standing at the door, Qin Wan hesitated, she was afraid of seeing that bloody scene.

"Ah Shui, Rui Zhuo, Jiaojiao!" Two uncles and aunts waited outside the door with their cousins and cousins, and enthusiastically gathered around them.

Qin Wan was a little embarrassed and dodged behind Bai Zhishui.

"Jiaojiao is shy?" The little aunt Yang pinched Qin Wan's little face affectionately.

Qin Wan smiled coquettishly to hide the crampedness in her eyes.

"I know that you are coming today, my mother let people start preparing a few days ago, I thought that you would come after the plum blossom banquet, how do you know that the Prime Minister is involved in a lawsuit, my mother knows that you can't leave at this time, and I sulked for a few days, if the case is not closed in Dali Temple, I am afraid that my father will take your two brothers to kill it." Yang said while bringing people inward, "Early this morning, my mother was even more clamoring to come to the door to pick you up, I persuaded my sister-in-law for a long time, and then my father spoke, and my mother reluctantly agreed to wait for you in the flower hall." ”

Bai Zhishui also felt a little emotional, because of Qin Wan's relationship, she hadn't come back for three years, and when she heard Yang say this, her eyes were even more wet with tears.

Qin Wan listened to her little aunt's words, her little hands under her sleeves clenched tightly, how many people's hearts had been hurt by her stupidity and selfishness!

Several cousins and cousins enthusiastically gathered around Qin Wan and Qin Ruizhuo, worried that they would be unfamiliar, and chatted one by one without words.

After the courtyard, I arrived in front of the most famous rockery of the Protector.

Qin Wan closed her eyes, and then opened her eyes carefully, until she saw clearly the rockery stacked with scattered rocks, she breathed a heavy sigh of relief, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned.

Walking through the atrium, before entering the flower hall, Mrs. Bai's voice came in full of anger, "I said that people should pick up Ah Shui and them, don't you, look, it's almost noon, and those three haven't arrived yet." Don't fight with me, let Hua Feng take Brother Ran directly to the Prime Minister's Mansion to see if they dare not let go! ”

"I'm so old, and my temper is still so urgent!" Bai Pei said angrily and funny, "Ah Shui said that he would come today, and he would definitely come, what are you in a hurry, Jiaojiao may still be eating breakfast." ”

"What's so delicious about Xiangfu's things, I have already asked the kitchen to prepare Jiaojiao's favorite crab roe buns, this year's crab roe is fresh."

"You mother-in-law......" Bai Pei shook his head depressedly.

"Grandfather, grandmother, aunt and cousin and cousin are here." Bai Yiman received her mother's hint and shouted open the door before she could enter the door.

The voice in the flower hall was obvious, and then the high-pitched voice of Old Madam Bai with excitement sounded, "Jiaojiao and Brother Zhuo are here, hurry!" Fast! ”

Without waiting for everyone's reaction, two fiery figures rushed out, "Jiaojiao, Brother Zhuo." ”

Qin Wan only felt that there was a flower in front of her, and two energetic old men appeared in front of her.

Familiar and unfamiliar appearance, the old lady Bai has white hair, and she is wearing a dark red silk cotton jacket, which is embroidered with auspicious clouds with gold thread, which is extravagant, this color is not something that anyone can control, and if you are not careful, it will become tacky.

Bai Pei's hair and beard are all white, but after all, he is a military general, so his body is very tough, not only full of energy when he speaks, but also with wind under his feet when he walks.

Old Madam Bai is also good at martial arts, and when she was young, she followed the Protector on the battlefield, so the personalities of the two elders are very atmospheric and bold, so that Bai Zhishui's temperament also has a bit of a military general's big grin.

Bai Pei and Old Madam Bai stood in front of Qin Wan and Qin Ruizhuo, one left and one right, looking at the two children carefully.

Bai Zhishui is their most beloved child, Aiwu and Wu, Qin Ruizhuo and Qin Wan are also their beloved grandsons. Over the years, because of Qin Wan's relationship, the two families have hardly moved around, but the Duke and his wife have always paid attention to the situation of their two grandsons, for fear that they will suffer in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

I haven't seen it for three years, and the small dumpling has become a big dumpling, and when Mrs. Bai looks at it, her eyes are wet.

"Mother, today is a good day, my sister-in-law came back to see you with her two children, why are you still crying, don't you like this." The Li family was busy coaxing Old Madam Bai.

"I'm happy, happy!" Old Madam Bai bluffed and explained fiercely.

Bai Zhishui helped Mrs. Bai, and the group returned to the flower hall.

Qin Ruizhuo doesn't care, the estrangement from the grandfather's family is also because Jiaojiao doesn't like it, and now Jiaojiao has changed her attitude towards the grandfather's family, and he follows over.

But Qinwan is different.

The guilt of the previous life and the regret of this life completely exploded after seeing my grandfather's family.

His heart was filled with remorse, and Qin Wan didn't dare to look up at everyone.

Bai Zhishui took the two children to kowtow to Bai Pei and Mrs. Bai, but Qin Wan buried her head and didn't dare to speak.

"Jiaojiao?" Old Madam Bai looked at the absent-minded Qin Wan hesitantly, thinking that she was unwilling to come to the Protector's Mansion, although she was disappointed, she still grabbed her hand affectionately.

"Jiaojiao is embarrassed?" Yang played a round game.

Bai Zhishui was also a little embarrassed, it was Jiaojiao who said that she didn't want to come to the Protector's Mansion, and now she said that she was going to see her grandfather and grandmother, but now that she has arrived, has this child changed her mind again?
