For a few days, the queen did not show up, and soon there was news in the palace, saying that the queen was seriously ill, and it was inevitable that she would be sick to everyone, and the queen exempted a group of concubines from asking for peace every day, and even the seventh princess was turned away, and only the imperial doctor went to treat it every day, but it did not have any effect.

At this time, Ling Qingrui was in the front hall, looking at Mrs. Jiang, to be precise, Mrs. Juan, Jiang Yong's biological mother, perhaps forgetting the fright she received last time, Mrs. Juan at this time was like a river.

"I want to come to the county lord also knows, this hired person is a wife, and the one who runs is a concubine, the eldest lady of your mansion has done such an unsightly thing, if it weren't for the county lord's face, my Jiang family would not want such a woman, who knows whose child is in her belly, my Jiang family is willing to accept her as a concubine is already benevolent and righteous......"

If it weren't for Shen's serious illness and inability to come, I'm afraid that when he heard Mrs. Juan's words, he would be angry, but it was Ling Qingrui who was sitting opposite her at this time, Ling Qingrui lowered her eyes and didn't pay attention to her at all, letting her mouth be dry.

Ling Qingrui was calculating the time in her heart, and Jiang Xingsheng and Master Jiang also came to Liufu together, but they went to Liu Wenzhe's study, thinking that they should also come over at this time.

Sure enough, just as Mrs. Juan's words fell, two people walked in at the door, and when they heard Mrs. Juan's words, Jiang Xingsheng couldn't help but look embarrassed, and looked at Liu Wenzhe, who had always been indifferent although he was a scholar.

Liu Wenzhe calmed his face and said: "Since Mrs. Juan looks down on the little girl so much, my Liufu will never dare to climb the Jiang family, Mrs. Jiang, please go back." ”

Jiang Xingsheng hurriedly made amends, although he intended to marry this family, but he also used Liu Mengxi's unmarried pregnancy as an excuse, and refused to let go and let Jiang Yong marry Liu Mengxi as his wife, only saying that he would be accepted as a noble concubine, and if he gave birth to a male heir of the Jiang family one day, it would not be too late to be promoted to his wife.

Liu Wenzhe's face was extremely ugly, and when Jiang Xingsheng and the others used this as an excuse again, he suddenly took the case and wanted to order someone to send it off, and the young lady of his Liu Mansion would rather send it to the nunnery than let people abuse it so badly!

At this time, Ling Qingrui opened her mouth leisurely and said, "Mrs. Juan, I heard that Gongzi Jiang has been sick for the past few days? ”

When Mrs. Juan heard this, she glanced at Jiang Xingsheng and retorted urgently: "Nonsense, my family is fine, what bastard dares to curse my family!" ”

What do you mean that there are no three hundred taels of silver here, I am afraid that Mrs. Juan interpreted this sentence very well, and her eager attitude of rebuttal, even Jiang Xingsheng glanced at her in surprise.

Ling Qingrui nodded and said: "I heard rumors earlier that Gongzi Jiang lingered in Fengyue a few days ago, resulting in some kind of unspeakable disease, and Mrs. Jiang privately invited many doctors, but they were helpless, I am afraid that Gongzi Jiang will not have any heirs in this life." It turned out to be just a rumor. ”

As soon as the words fell, Ling Qingrui saw that Mrs. Juan's face had changed greatly, and she couldn't hide it, and Jiang Xingsheng's face was gloomy as if she could drip ink.

Jiang Xingsheng has indeed seen a lot of doctors coming in and out of Jiang's house in the past few days, and the eyes that look at him are strange, and he has also asked, but those doctors left in a hurry, and Mrs. Juan only said that she wanted to study the recipe for longevity.

At this time, those doctors clearly came out of Jiang Yong's courtyard, and Mrs. Juan has always disliked medicine, how can she study any prescription for longevity! Looking at Mrs. Juan's expression again, Jiang Xingsheng already understood that most of what Ling Qingrui just said was true, could it be that his Jiang family was going to have no queen?

Suddenly, Jiang Xingsheng remembered the child in Liu Mengxi's womb, but he didn't wait for him to say anything, only to hear Ling Qingrui speak again.

"Originally, the county lord here happens to have a place to cure Jiang Gongzi's hidden disease, it seems that it is not needed, Chu Xue, you go and throw away the herbs you have prepared." Ling Qingrui commanded, the expression of extreme regret on her face was undoubtedly revealed.

At this moment, as if she had suddenly figured out something, Mrs. Juan suddenly rushed to Ling Qingrui and shouted, "Okay, I said that I have a good family, why can't I suddenly do it, it turns out that you are calculating my family!" You're ......."

Seeing this, Jiang Xingsheng didn't have time to digest what his only son couldn't do, and seeing that Mrs. Juan was about to insult Ling Qingrui, he immediately stepped forward and slapped Mrs. Juan in the face.

Mrs. Juan was beaten suddenly, and the rest of the words were immediately speechless, but when she reacted to what was going on, she immediately cried and shouted: "Master, she has been harmed like this......"

"Shut up!" Jiang Xingsheng reprimanded, and hurriedly apologized to Ling Qingrui repeatedly, seeing that Mrs. Juan still wanted to speak, for fear that she would say something unpleasant again, Jiang Xingsheng hurriedly grabbed her, lowered his voice and said something, after Mrs. Juan listened, she was reluctant to quiet down.

Ling Qingrui lowered her eyes and smiled lightly, she didn't need to listen to her to know that what Jiang Xingsheng said was nothing more than what she was now, when she was the county lord, she dared to persecute Mrs. Juan with a knife, at this time, as the county lord, she didn't need her to do it, insulting and slandering the county lord, this crime is not something that Mrs. Juan can afford.

Regarding Jiang Xingsheng's reparation, Ling Qingrui was noncommittal, but raised her eyes and said to Liu Wenzhe: "Since the Jiang family is unwilling to marry the eldest sister, my father can order someone to kill the fetus of unknown origin in the eldest sister's womb. ”

Then, Ling Qingrui muttered another sentence as if inadvertently, and said, "It's just a pity that the child in the eldest sister's womb is still a boy." ”

"Is it really a boy?" Mrs. Juan hurriedly asked.

Ling Qingrui looked at Mrs. Juan with a smile and said, "What if it's not serious?" Since the child is not Jiang Gongzi's, why does Mrs. Juan need to ask. ”

"How can you not ask, that's the only child in my family."

Mrs. Juan's words came out too quickly, Jiang Xingsheng was too late to stop it, he only felt dizzy for a while, the development of things today was too unexpected for him.

Although he was ordered to approach Liu Wenzhe, Jiang Xingsheng didn't look down on a woman like Liu Mengxi in his heart, in his mind, the daughter-in-law of his Jiang family must be a lady from a famous family, not a reckless and ignorant woman like Liu Mengxi.

This is also the reason why Jiang Xingsheng made a fuss with Mrs. Juan, so that Jiang Yong only accepted him as a concubine and refused to marry Liu Mengxi as his wife, at this time, he learned that Jiang Yong is likely to have no heirs, plus the child in Liu Mengxi's womb, the Jiang family has to marry Liu Mengxi no matter what.

Ling Qingrui said with a smile: "Since the child in the womb of the eldest sister is the eldest son and grandson of the Jiang family, the Jiang family should marry the eldest sister well." Please also rest assured that after the eldest sister marries, the county lord will naturally not let the eldest sister suffer such hardships. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Xingsheng's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help asking, "Is what the county lord said seriously?" ”

"Take it seriously."

Jiang Xingsheng got Ling Qingrui's assurance, and immediately happily pulled his in-laws to discuss the matter of marrying Liu Mengxi, but Mrs. Juan was still standing there in a daze, but no one paid attention to it.

In Yusheng Xiaozhu, Ling Qingrui, who solved the matter of Liu Mengxi, twisted a chess piece thoughtfully, and Maomao was happily spreading joy beside her.

After she talked to Ling Xiao that day, Ling Xiao forgave her behavior, although Starfall's face was still gloomy these days, but her heart was also a lot relieved.

It's just that these days, whether it is the killer of the Blood Flame Temple, the child killer, or the person who sent her the letter before, there is not the slightest bit of news, which makes her suspicious......

Something was tugging at the corner of Ling Qingrui's skirt, interrupting her thoughts, she looked down and saw that it was Mao Mao, I don't know if she was bored or what, she bit the corner of her skirt and didn't let go.

Chu Xue on the side hurriedly ran over, picked up Mao Mao and said, "Little naughty, I bit Miss Girl's skirt, I can't clean you up." ”

Who would have thought that at the same time as Chu Xue picked up Mao Mao, it kicked restlessly with its four paws, and actually touched the chess piece that Ling Qingrui had placed on the chase, and the white jade chess pieces were scattered all over the ground in an instant.

Chu Xue saw that she was in trouble, and immediately wanted to kneel down and ask for guilt, but was stopped by Ling Qingrui, who just said lightly: "It's okay, just pick it up." ”

Chu Xue was also familiar with Ling Qingrui's temperament, so she settled Mao Mao aside and began to pick up the chess pieces on the ground, not wanting that one of the chess pieces might have fallen on the stone slab, and it was broken, Chu Xue showed the chess piece to Ling Qingrui with great pity.

Ling Qingrui took it, and she also felt a little sorry in her heart, this was given to her when Jing Mofeng left Yunzhou City, although she was not good at chess, she had always cherished it, and she didn't want to ......

Suddenly, Ling Qingrui's eyes flashed slightly, what did she seem to see in this chess piece just now?

Taking out the lancet, Ling Qingrui carefully knocked open the already broken chess piece, and sure enough, something was revealed inside, it was actually a small note that could not be smaller, and when the note was unfolded, the word "Wei" was revealed!

There are words hidden in this white jade chess! Did Jing Mofeng, who gave her Bai Yuqi in the first place, know about it, or was this what Jing Mofeng hid in, and what was his purpose in doing this?

Many doubts flashed in Ling Qingrui's mind in an instant, Ling Qingrui looked at Bai Yuqi with burning eyes, and suddenly raised her eyes and ordered: "Chu Xue, you send this Bai Yuqi to Huosheng Blacksmith Shop to Uncle Zhang, and ask him to do one thing." ”

Although he was puzzled in his heart, he couldn't destroy every chess piece to check, Ling Qingrui immediately thought of Uncle Zhang, who he knew because of Tang Muning, and Uncle Zhang also looked at Ling Qingrui, who cured his leg pain, and Uncle Zhang was reliable, so Ling Qingrui thought of asking him to find out which chess pieces had notes in them.

As soon as she ordered Chu Xue, Bingyue came to report, saying that Liu Mengxi had come to the door again, and Bingyue told Liu Mengxi that the matter had been resolved according to Ling Qingrui's instructions before, and if she came to bother Miss again, it would be no wonder that she would change from a wife to a concubine.

When Liu Mengxi heard that it was as if she was being chased by a ghost, she hurriedly returned to her Hongxi Pavilion, Bingyue couldn't stop laughing, and said, "Miss, do you really want to cure Jiang Yong?" ”

"Huh...... Cure? ”
