Chu Xi was still late, when she arrived, Bai Shi was already crying and almost fainted, Yun Songyi also had red eyes, and she was a little shocked when she saw Chu Xi's lost soul.

Lin Qingyu secretly pinched Chu Xi's hand and whispered, "I'm not dead, I'm just fainting." ”

Chu Xi came back to her senses, lowered her eyes to hide her emotions, and only then did she dare to raise her eyes.

Yun Songyi had already run over, his little face was full of anger: "I don't know which villain dares to commit murder in the Yan Mansion!" ”

Chu Xi looked up at the Bai clan and the Dingguo Gong who came in a hurry, and said in a light tone: "It must be someone who has a holiday with the Dingguo Mansion, and I will know when Miss Qin Er wakes up." ”

"Yes." Yun Songyi bowed her head, and after a while, Chu Zhenzhen also ran over with Chu Dai'er: "Grandmother, what's wrong?" ”

Where did the Bai family have the heart to deal with her, but Dingguo Gong followed the Eighth Prince, and Zhao Xuanyi naturally came over, and soon arranged for someone to investigate thoroughly.

"Who is this ruthless, Fei'er is just a child, why did she die." Chu Zhenzhen's voice was choked, and she wanted to cry, so that the sons and brothers on the side were stunned, although what happened to Yunfu, it still couldn't stop them from coveting the first beauty in the capital.

Bai raised his eyes and glared at her fiercely: "You don't behave here, I don't know what you think, you just went to the Dingguo Mansion to borrow 200,000 taels of silver, I didn't borrow you considering the expenses of the Guogong Mansion, I didn't expect you to turn around and come to harm my Fei'er, what kind of heart do you have!" ”

"Grandmother, what do you say?" Chu Zhenzhen looked aggrieved: "I've been on the other side of the lake, and I just came over, how could I hurt Fei'er." ”

"That's it, the second sister is afraid of even ants when she walks on weekdays, how can she hurt Second Miss Qin." Chu Xiuxiu came out of nowhere.

Bai sneered: "When my Fei'er wakes up, I'll know who is the villain who harmed her!" ”

"Qin Fei is not dead!" Chu Xiuxiu exclaimed, looking at everyone's strange eyes, she immediately came back to her senses and smiled: "It's good if you're not dead, it's good if you're not dead." ”

Chu Zhenzhen looked at the person in Bai's arms, he was indeed still breathing, took a slight breath, and said with a shallow smile: "Zhenzhen's grandmother doesn't like me, but don't delay Sister Fei'er now, and go to the guest room to rest first." As he spoke, he was going to help Qin Fei.

For Chu Zhenzhen's forbearance and knowledge, the more everyone looked at it, the more satisfied they became, and even a prince came over directly: "Second Miss Chu, don't be too sad, you can be such a ruthless villain, I believe that the Eighth Prince and Lord Yan will definitely find out." ”

Bai Shi sneered, directly opened Chu Zhenzhen's hand, and asked her mother-in-law to pick up Qin Fei and go out.

Chu Zhenzhen didn't care about talking to the man, and turned her head to pull Chu Xiuxiu.

Chu Xiuxiu came back to her senses. Hurriedly followed the woman over.

Because she was by the lake, Chu Xiuxiu's eyes darkened, and she was about to pounce on the woman when her feet were crooked, but she found that the person was not moving, and when she turned her head, she saw Lin Qingyu looking at her with a smile: "Third Miss, you have to be careful when you walk, it's not good to fall into the lake." ”

Bai Shi turned his head and stared at Chu Xiuxiu fiercely, as if he was going to eat her: "Miss Chu San seems to want to follow me back to the Qin Mansion?" ”

"No, it's not," Chu Xiuxiu said busily.

Lin Qingyu glanced at Lin Fu who she mentioned, Lin Fu understood and put her down: "It's really heavy." Lin Fu said with a serious face.

Chu Xiuxiu's face turned red, and the sons didn't dare to laugh, Chu Zhenzhen didn't see Chu Qitai left and right, Chu Xiuxiu made a fuss like this again, her little face was slightly blue with anger, and she turned her head to see Zhao Xunyan, the king of leisure, who was sitting in the truffle pavilion looking at this, and was happy in her heart. He walked towards the Truffle Pavilion, but Zhao Xunyan's eyes did not change, and he was still staring at the purple in the crowd.

"Is the Lin family going to get involved?" The eldest prince's face was slightly gloomy.

Zhao Xunyan shook his head slightly: "No, the Lin family has never asked about court affairs, although the son of the Lin family is amazing, but he is bent on the pleasures outside, and now he is here, I am afraid that it is just for the daughter of the Chu family." ”

"Chu Zhenzhen? Or Chu Xiuxiu? The eldest prince was puzzled, and it seemed that Lin Qingyu had more to say to Chu Xiuxiu.

Zhao Xunyan's eyes were deep, and Danfeng's eyes narrowed slightly: "The eldest daughter of the Chu family, Chu Xi." ”

Chu Xi seemed to feel the scorching gaze, and raised her head to meet the gaze of the Truffle Pavilion, still like ten thousand arrows piercing her heart.

Lin Qingyu looked at Chu Ji and King Xiaoyao looking at each other, and frowned slightly, this girl likes King Xiaoyao?

"Master, there is news from Ruyifang." Lin Fu whispered in Lin Qingyu's ear.

Lin Qingyu was holding his breath and stepped forward: "Girl, you should go back." ”

Chu Xi's heart was surging with bone-crushing hatred, and she didn't notice that something was wrong with him, so she turned her head and left in a hurry.

Lin Fu was stunned, raised his hand and stretched out the white jade in his palm: "Master, what should I do about this." ”

Lin Qingyu's chin was slightly raised, and he was so angry that he misplaced his teeth: "Quietly put it on Miss Chu Si's dresser." ”

Lin Fu looked at him and wanted to laugh, but he knew that he shouldn't laugh, and his face was strange: "Yes." ”

When Lord Yan arrived, the people of the Eighth Prince had already arranged it: "Thank you to the Eighth Prince, but the affairs of the Yan Mansion are still arranged by the lower officials." ”

Zhao Xuanyi knew that Lord Yan was close to the Great Prince's faction, and his eyes were cold: "Lord Yan has arrived late, if Lord Yan thinks that what I have done is redundant, you can remove the person." With that, he turned around and left.

Lord Yan's face was dark, and he glanced at the eldest prince and the king of the pavilion. Tibu walked over.

"The Easy King." Chu Zhenzhen stepped forward to salute.

"It's been a long time, but Zhen Zhen is getting better and better." The eldest prince praised directly.

Chu Zhenzhen blushed shyly: "Thank you for the compliment." ”

Zhao Xunyan glanced at Chu Zhenzhen's back: "What about the people who came with you?" ”

Chu Daier?

Chu Zhenzhen looked left and right, and indeed did not see her figure: "Xu is afraid, go back first." ”

Zhao Xunyan didn't say more, it seems that these young ladies in Chu Mansion are not simple in the past few days, and the women in the back house are really playing a lot of tricks. Zhao Xunyan was a little disdainful, thinking of Chu Xilai, he was a little more contemptuous, a woman is a woman, and this kind of thinking will never be on the table.

When Mrs. Chu heard that Chu Zhenzhen not only ran to the other side of the lake without permission, but also stayed alone to talk and chat with King Xiaoyao and the eldest prince, her old face was so ashamed that she had no place to put it.

"Is the Qin family's Nizi okay?" Old Madam Chu asked.

Chu Xiuxiu pouted: "Not dead." ”

Old Madam Chu looked at her dissatisfiedly, and asked the most secure Mother Jiang to call Chu Zhenzhen back, and this one also said goodbye to Mrs. Yan, but Yun Songyi kept pulling Chu Zhen. twittered to her about how good her cousin Yan Jifu was.

Chu Xi naturally knew that this was inappropriate, and looked at her with a slightly serious face: "Miss Yun, my situation is not relaxed now, and I shouldn't always talk about such things." ”

Yun Songyi was stunned for a moment, reacted, and hurriedly apologized: "Don't be angry with me, it's rare to have a few people who speak, all of them are pretentious, and there are few cheerful ones, so I'll fall in love with you and invite you out when I come back, don't you be." Yun Songyi's voice was loud, and the old lady Chu naturally heard it, Chu Xi raised her eyes and looked at the old lady, and saw that she nodded before she responded.

Mother Jiang went for a while to bring Chu Zhenzhen back, and the two of them didn't look very good when they came over.

Old Madam Chu couldn't help but ask, "What about Qitai?" ”

Mother Jiang's face was a little embarrassed, Chu Zhenzhen was hesitant, and it took a long time to understand that it turned out that Chu Qitai had taken a fancy to the eldest lady from General Yang's mansion, and after being scolded by someone, she had nowhere to vent, and turned her head and collided with the eldest prince, and the eldest prince did not punish him in the face of the Chu Mansion, but only let people throw him out of the mansion.

After hearing this, Old Madam Chu didn't say much, and glanced at Chu Xi: "The Yang family is here, have you seen it?" ”

Chu Xi shook her head slightly: "I haven't seen you for many years, where can I recognize those young ladies who belong to the Yang family." Chu Ji was lonely in her heart, her mother had been talking about the Yang family before she died, and the Zhao family was also destroyed because of her in her previous life, in this life, she only hoped that she would not affect them anymore, as for Chu Qitai, she was going to suffer a little.

Back in Chu Mansion, Chu Xi explained the task of green sandalwood.

First, find out which winery Chu Qitai likes the most, which green building, and which Oiran he loves the most; Second, find out who Chu Qitai has had a holiday with recently and what kind of holiday.

Lu Tan couldn't sleep at all when she was excited, and before it was dark, she took the jade card and said that she was going to buy pastries for Chu Xi and hurriedly went out, and she just left Chunzhi and came in to return, saying that Aunt Yanxue came with Brother Hong.

Chu Xi's face was slightly gloomy: "Tell my aunt that my body is inconvenient, and I don't want this bad luck to pass on to Brother Hong, let her go directly to the old lady's courtyard." ”

Harueda's eyes flashed, and she nodded yes.

Aunt Yanxue was stunned for a moment: "Eldest lady, can you still talk about the side?" ”

Chunzhi shook her head, but in the end, she was well-informed by the old lady's side, and she immediately understood what Chu Xi meant: "Brother Hong'er has just been fostered under your name now, and there is no Li'er who is the first to come to see the eldest lady." When Brother Hong first entered the house, he always had to recognize his grandmother and grandmother first, and then his sister. ”

Yanxue suddenly realized, she only wanted to see Chu Xi first, and asked what to do next, but she almost forgot the Tao of the back house: "I understand, I was negligent, thank you for me, Miss." With that, he took a pink-carved child beside him and hurried to Ronghua Courtyard.

Chunzhi breathed a sigh of relief and went to the room to reply, Chu Ji looked at her: "Do you feel strange about Qin Fei's matter today?" ”

Chunzhi raised his eyes and looked at Chu Xi, who was waiting for him to speak, and then said, "Strange." ”

"Where's the weirdness?"

"It's strange that all the young ladies in the Chu Mansion are so flustered, especially the second and third misses." Harukie lowered her head.

Chu Ji had an idea in her heart, Chunzhi had followed the old lady for so many years, and her way of thinking must be the same as her, she felt like this, and the old lady felt the same way, but Chu Qitai was ruthless, knowing that Qin Fei was not dead, he would definitely not wait for her to speak again, and the old lady interrogated Chu Xiuxiu and the others. knew that the mastermind behind the scenes was Chu Qitai. Although she hates that iron is not steel, she will not let her only grandson break like this, she has to find a way to deliver a letter to the Guogong Mansion, it is best to let their Liang Zi die, and not to take Qin Fei's innocent life.

Chu Dai'er's side, Mu Xiang untied her cloak: "Fourth Miss, let's rest for a while, someone said that a new courtyard has been prepared for you, and it will be next to the eldest lady's Zhujin Pavilion, and we will move over early in the morning." ”

Chu Dai'er's eyes darkened slightly, and she sighed: "It's okay for me, I'm used to living here and right, but I just wronged you, I was going to enjoy happiness with my second sister, but I didn't want to come to me." ”

Mu Xiang's heart warmed slightly: "The fourth young lady is gentle and kind, even if the food and clothing are poor, but the slave maid is a lowly life." I don't care about that. ”

"Why did Sister Muxiang say that." Chu Dai'er sighed: "Don't say anything that is cheap or not, you and I are both hard-working people, but we just support each other." ”

Seeing Chu Dai'er like this, Mu Xiang's attitude became better and better: "How can the slave be compared with the fourth lady, you are now a golden branch and jade leaf, a serious concubine, and in the future, find a good family and marry a good husband, Miss has such a soft and virtuous temperament, she will definitely let him hold it in the palm of her hand." ”

Chu Dai'er thought of the tall white figure, and her heart beat slightly: "Sister Muxiang, don't make fun of me." ”

The two talked and laughed, and Mu Xiang unconsciously leaned more towards Chu Dai'er.

Chu Dai'er was thinking about today's events, Mu Xiang was surprised, and took out a piece of white jade pendant: "This is"

Chu Dai'er's face was slightly pale, she had already handed over this jade pendant to Chu Zhenzhen, it should have appeared on Qin Fei's body, how could she be here? At that time, Chu Zhenzhen must have been looking for it. didn't find this piece of jade on Qin Fei's body, she thought something was wrong, but she didn't expect that someone had already taken it, so Qin Fei should have been saved by him. What is this now, a warning?

Chu Dai'er's red lips were pursed, and her breathing became slightly short, he was warning himself for the sake of his big sister.

"Miss?" Mu Xiang was a little worried, Chu Dai'er looked at the white jade in her hand, closed her eyes and took a deep breath: "Sister Lao is preparing for me, I want to go to Ronghua Courtyard." ”

Mu Xiang bowed his head, hurriedly took the cloak, and helped her to hurry to Ronghua Courtyard.

At this time, in Ronghua Courtyard, Chu Qitai, Chu Zhenzhen, and Chu Xiuxiu knelt on the ground together, and Old Madam Chu was so angry that her face turned pale.

"Idiots, all idiots!" The old lady scolded angrily, and Chu Zhenzhen's silver teeth clenched: "Grandmother." This can't be blamed on the eldest brother, he just wants to vent his anger for his mother, and the Bai family was too much before."

"You still don't admit that you're stupid!" Old Madam Chu said angrily: "If Qin Fei comes to his senses and says your name, do you think that Dingguo Gong's unruly person will let you go?" Don't talk about a few of you, even your father will suffer, Dingguo Gong is good friends with the Eighth Prince, and now the Eighth Prince is the most famous in the court."

"After the Yunfu incident, didn't the Eighth Prince be involved in a lot of excerpts?" Chu Qitai muttered.

The lady was so angry that she couldn't wait to directly smash the cup in her hand on his head: "No matter how it is broken, it is also the royal family's own business, the old lady of Yunfu immediately pushed out the concubine as a scapegoat, and the royal family did not punish the eighth prince, even if this matter is unharmed, people with a discerning eye know at a glance that the eighth prince is now gaining momentum, you are good, directly hit me!" ”

Chu Qitai pursed his lips and didn't speak, and after a while, there was a word outside, Aunt Yanxue came over with Brother Hong, and the old lady frowned: "You stand up first, sit aside, I'll talk about it later!" "The old lady obviously doesn't want to expose this matter as simply as before, no matter what happened before, it was just a matter in the house, but now it's good, it's got into trouble with the royal family.

Not long after, Bai Xue brought in a pink-carved baby, but her face was shy, and she kept her head in Aunt Yanxue's arms.

"Brother Hong, I've seen my grandmother and my brothers and sisters." Aunt Yanxue smiled softly, I have to say that she is a good hand at coaxing the child, and it will only take one day for Brother Hong to obey her.

"It's just a concubine, and you can lead it around for others to see?" Chu Qitai snorted from his nose. When Brother Hong heard this, he shrank into Yanxue's arms again.

Yanxue remembered Chu Xi's words, and couldn't fight for her head in front of the old lady, so she endured it, stepped forward and saluted, and Brother Hong also acted decently, and shouted to her grandmother in a milky voice.

The old lady saw that the child looked the same as Chu Bingsong when he was a child, although he was born in the outer room, but she also liked it very much: "Brother Hong'er came closely, grandmother is good to see." ”

Yanxue pushed him slightly: "Go ahead." ”

"Is this what my aunt said about the old lady who will give Brother Hong a sugar cake?"

Brother Hong'er is young, and the words he asked were innocent and cute, and the more the old lady looked at it, the more she liked it: "Mother Jiang, don't bring a snack yet." ”

Yanxue's eyes were shining, and Brother Hong stepped forward to snuggle up in the arms of the old lady, asking and answering, well-behaved and sensible.

"Brother Hong'er wants anything else, grandmother has everything here. What gemstones jadeite, agate pearls, everything. The old lady took the sugar cake and handed it to him.

Brother Hong shook his head sensibly: "My aunt said that Brother Hong came to make my grandmother happy, and it would be good if my grandmother was happy." ”

Chu Qitai snorted again: "Sycophant"

"Tyre, go and wait outside the door." The old lady said coldly, Chu Qitai has been spoiled by Qin Xue all these years, and he doesn't know how to restrain himself at all.

"Grandmother" Chu Qitai and Chu Zhenzhen spoke at the same time, the old lady glanced at the two of them lightly, and didn't say more, let Jiang's mother take two pieces of high-quality jade pendants, a folding fan of red sandalwood, two pieces of high-quality ink and a high-quality Nanzhu, and rewarded four or five horses of good clothes, and saw that several people's eyes were hot, but Yanxue was smiling, standing respectfully on the side, without the grandeur of the concubine's head at all, which made the old lady also very satisfied. I also rewarded her with a set of jade heads.

"Brother Hong'er left his mother, and he didn't seem to be worried at all." Chu Zhenzhen said to Brother Hong with a smile, which means that Brother Hong is just an ungrateful person who forgets his mother as soon as he enters a rich family, and the old lady dislikes ungrateful people the most.

Sure enough, the old lady's face sank a little, and she lowered her head and asked Brother Hong'er: "Brother Hong'er, do you think it's better to be a mother or an aunt?" ”

Brother Hong was ignorant, and looked at his aunt with some embarrassment: "Auntie, I'm afraid"

"Don't be afraid, say whatever you think in your heart." Yanxue coaxed well, but she was very relieved.

Brother Hong put down the sugar cake in his hand: "My aunt said that when Brother Hong grows up in the house, he can earn his own money, and then give all the money he earns to his mother-in-law, buy her a good house, and buy new clothes, so Brother Hong is willing to follow his aunt." ”

After hearing this, the old lady exhaled slightly, and beckoned Yanxue to take Brother Hong away: "Brother Hong is a good one, you have to spend more time on his future, take care of him well, and when he is older, he can separate and leave, and there must be a hundred acres of fertile land." ”

The old lady meant to knock on the smoke and snow, don't let her take Brother Hong'er crookedly, don't think about anything else.

Yanxue's face was like a surprise, and she hurriedly stepped forward to respond, and then left with Brother Hong, Chu Zhenzhen secretly gritted her teeth, but she could only watch them leave.

"You see, a little child is smarter than you." The old lady didn't seem to have much strength, and leaned back on the cushion to stare at a few people.

Chu Qitai still wanted to argue, but Chu Zhenzhen glanced at him, so he had to lower his head: "Grandmother taught me a lesson." ”

"If the Eighth Prince is not to blame. I will not punish you. The old lady looked at Chu Qitai: "You go to your father to get the punishment." ”

"Grandmother"

"You want me to send you there?" The old lady looked worried.

Chu Qitai swallowed the fire in his stomach, answered, and turned his head out after a lazy salute.

The old lady looked at Chu Xiuxiu, and her eyes were a little colder: "Xiuxiu, you have been close to Zhen Zhen since you were a child, tell me, what have you done this time?" ”

Chu Xiuxiu saw that Chu Zhenzhen didn't speak for herself at all, so she hurriedly got up and knelt down: "Grandmother, the eldest brother and the second sister instructed me, they asked me to trick the second girl of the Qin family to the rockery, and then the eldest brother again."

"What are you talking about!" Chu Zhenzhen interrupted her words, and the old lady slammed the table: "You still don't let her say, when you go back to the Qin family, you think you can escape!" The old man of Dingguo is confused, it is all at the mercy of the Bai family, and the Bai family is a very small heart, do you think your brother and sister can be safe this time? ”

Chu Zhenzhen's face turned pale with fright, and her lips trembled slightly: "Grandmother." Isn't there still the eldest prince and the king of Xiaoyao" She thought that the king of Xiaoyao had always been interested in herself, and the eldest prince liked herself, so she would definitely help.

"Stupid!" The old lady was so angry that she didn't know what to say: "The eldest prince and the eighth prince are still harmonious and angry on the same face, and they will tear their faces for your?" ”

Chu Zhenzhen gritted her teeth: "My granddaughter only reads women's books, where do I know about these conspiracies in the court." ”

The old lady looked at this granddaughter who had no skin and was ruthless, and once held her as a treasure in the palm of her hand, but she didn't know that she had held such a fool.

"Xiuxiu, you say, what are you going to do!"

Chu Xiuxiu saw that Chu Zhenzhen was also disgusted, and she gritted her teeth and wanted to shake everything out, but a maid came to report that the fourth lady Chu Daier was here.

"Dale." The old lady frowned: "Let her in." ”

Chu Dai'er just came in, and knelt directly on the ground: "Please grandmother punish." ”

"What's wrong?" The old lady was puzzled.

Chu Dai'er took out the white jade pendant in her hand: "It's all to blame Dai'er, I accidentally lost my eldest sister's jade pendant during the flower party, and then I don't know which gangster took the place where the second miss of the Qin family was injured, I quietly took it back after seeing it, but I was always uneasy in my heart." After thinking about it, I had to come and ask my grandmother. ”

"The big girl's jade pendant?" The old lady looked at Chu Dai'er and saw that she was still the same cowardly appearance as before, and she was not suspicious.

Chu Xiuxiu's mind flashed: "I used to see that girl playing with her big sister's personal jade pendant in her hand, so I tricked her into trying to get the jade pendant back, but then she fainted there, grandmother, I don't know." ”

The old lady looked at her deeply, and then looked at Chu Zhenzhen: "Zhenzhen, you say!" ”

Chu Zhenzhen bit her lip: "It's the third sister who said this, how can we be ruthless to a child, and if it's really the eldest brother, that Nizi would have died a long time ago." ”

"Are you sure that Niko won't identify you when she wakes up?" Chu Zhenzhen bit her lip and didn't speak, Old Madam Chu stared at the three of them for a long time: "The three of you are united." ”

The old lady didn't know whether she was praising or sarcastic, but she didn't mean to punish them heavily: "Go down and copy each of the women's training chapters a hundred times, and bring it to me tomorrow." ”

"A hundred times!" Chu Xiuxiu raised her head and looked at the old lady in embarrassment, this copy a hundred times has to be wasted.

"Too little? Then add it to three hundred times. Don't find someone to write for me, otherwise I'll go back to the countryside and raise me. ”

The old lady's words could not be refuted, Chu Xiuxiu didn't dare to say any more, the old lady looked at a few people, she was also tired, and raised her hand: "Let's all go down." ”

Watching a few granddaughters leave, the old lady rubbed her temples vigorously: "Mother Jiang, go find someone and solve that girl." ”

Mother Jiang was stunned, and the old lady sighed: "It must be Tai'er's hand, these are all accomplices, if you let that Nizi speak, they don't have any good fruit to eat, not to mention marrying into the royal family, they are ordinary people, who wants such a ruthless daughter-in-law?" But fortunately, they were able to make their words clear, and this time it should be a warning to them. ”

Mother Jiang nodded solemnly: "The Dingguo Mansion is heavily guarded, and the slaves and maids are worried that it will be a little difficult to start within a day or two." ”

"It's okay, it doesn't matter if it's a long time, that Nizi is not lightly injured, I'm afraid she won't be able to wake up these days, as long as she solves it before she wakes up." The old lady said: "You spend a little more silver, please ask a few powerful ones, and then dredge up in the Dingguo Mansion." ”

Mother Jiang nodded: "Where is the eldest lady?" "After all, as soon as the fourth lady came over, she strung all the cause and effect on this white jade.

The old lady's slightly sunken eyes lit up more and more: "The eldest girl is a smart girl, I heard that the Eighth Prince seems to be interested in her, although I am not sure, but let's arrange it a few more times, there should be no problem, she looks like this, I am not afraid that the Eighth Prince will not like it, you send the jade pendant back, and tell her the original thing here, there is no need to mention the arrangement of the Dingguo Mansion." ”

Mother Jiang nodded, took the jade pendant and hurried out.

At this moment, in the courtyard of Zhujin, Brother Hong'er's eyes were shining: "What a big and magnificent courtyard." ”

"This is the yard of the concubine." Yan Xue said with a smile, Chu Xi seemed to know that she was coming, so she greeted her from afar: "Miss." As soon as Yanxue saw her, she thought of Wang Gui, who had died unjustly, and her eyes were a little wet.

Chu Ji was wearing a white cloak, wearing a newly made stone blue long skirt, and walked slowly, Brother Hong was stunned: "This sister is from the painting?" ”

Yan Xue hurriedly said: "This is your big sister." After that, I introduced it to Chu Xi again.

Chu Xi smiled and asked Lu Ya to give her the gift that had been prepared a long time ago.

"Green Sprouts, you take Brother Hong to play and go to your aunt's yard."

Green Sprout answered, teased Brother Hong with gadgets and walked forward.

Yan Xue was puzzled: "Miss, what is this?" ”

Chu Xi chuckled: "There are too many eyes and ears in my yard, let's go to your yard, talk as we walk." Chu Xi left because she was worried that the old lady's people would come over for a while, and when she saw that she was talking to Yanxue lively, she couldn't help but think about it.

Yan Xue bowed his head and walked beside Chu Xi, while Xiao Fu'er pricked up his ears and followed behind.

After telling Chu Xi everything about the old lady's situation, she said gratefully: "If it weren't for your reminder, something would have gone wrong today." ”

Chu Ji smiled: "Brother Hong is a good boy, you take him well, the more he is good, the more the old lady will hurt him, and the more annoyed Chu Qitai's mother and son." ”

Yanxue looked at Brother Hong, who was running and jumping in front of her, and sighed: "I just want to avenge Wang Gui, I want to find out who killed him." Yanxue's eyes are slightly red, and she has been a childhood sweetheart for more than ten years, so how can she not feel uncomfortable.

Chu Xi looked at the front lightly, now that the snow has stopped, the thick snow is piled aside, people are talking with anger, and the green sprouts are playing happily with Brother Hong, which makes her feel a lot more comfortable: "Brother Hong must not leave your sight in the future, at least not for the past few years." ”

"What about going to school?" Yanxue asked.

"You plead with your father, and ask a gentleman to come and teach at home, but you have to work harder. Brother Hong has the best heart, don't use him to do anything, he is seven years old and can remember. Chu Xi meant something.

Yanxue nodded and looked at her with some hesitation: "Wang Gui, do you have any clues there?" ”

Chu Xi thought about it, and didn't say anything about doubting Chu Dai'er, saying it would only make Yanxue mess up: "There are no more clues for the time being, but you don't have to worry, this person is hidden deeply, and if he can't do it once, he will make a second move, so I asked you to keep an eye on Brother Hong." ”

Yan Xue bowed: "Now that the eyes in the courtyard are focused on Brother Hong, I will be careful." ”

"Hmm." Chu Ji bowed: "The maid-in-law next to you will check first." One in your yard is called Yinye and the other is called Lihua, you check, the mother-in-law who has been following you Ning is reliable, but she has a son who is a gambler and is a scourge, you weigh it yourself. ”

Yanxue looked at Chu Xi's eyes in shock, she didn't know anything else, Yinye was a little strange these days, and she was about to interrogate it. Yan Xue wanted to ask, and remembered what Chu Xi said before that there were immortals to help her, and smiled: "The eldest lady is a wonderful person." ”

Chu Xi stopped when she walked to the door of her courtyard: "It's not a wonderful person, it's just that I think more carefully and think more." Last time Wang Gui died, these two maids were clearly your personal maids, but they had no intention of comforting you, and they were in a trance, so you could know that there was a problem. As for Mother Ning, it was Xiao Fu'er who heard the news, and she had already borrowed money from many people. Money is a small thing, but it is also a big thing, and it is good for my aunt to take it to heart. ”

Yan Xue looked at her fixedly: "Can I ask more, why does the eldest lady help me like this?" ”

Chu Xi turned her eyes, afraid that her emotions would leak out: "My aunt and I are in the same boat, my aunt can rest assured." With that, he called Green Sprout and turned his head back.

On the way back, Chu Xi stopped and looked around intentionally or unintentionally, Xiao Fu'er only thought that Chu Xi was looking at the scenery, and when she arrived at Zhujin Pavilion so leisurely, Mother Jiang had been waiting for a while.

"I heard from my mother-in-law that the eldest lady left with my aunt?" Mother Jiang smiled.

"My aunt brought Brother Hong to see me, and it happened that I wanted to go out for a walk, so I sent them back to the courtyard by the way." Chu Xi smiled gently.

Mother Jiang looked at her, compared with the other three young ladies, this eldest lady is more like a nobleman, calm and calm, steady in work, clear and untaught, as if she has received the most professional training.

Chu Ji led Jiang's mother to the house to sit down, told her about the Ronghua Courtyard, took out the jade pendant and handed it to her: "The old lady asked the old slave to tell the eldest lady that this personal thing should not be lost in the future." ”

Chu Xi gratefully put away the jade pendant: "Thank you grandmother for mentioning it." ”

Mother Jiang was about to leave, and Chu Ji said to Chunzhi on the side: "I'm tired of Sister Chunzhi sending Mother Jiang out." ”

Chunzhi was stunned, and Jiang's mother was also stunned, and immediately reacted, smiling and blessing: "Don't bother, the old slave will retreat." After that, she left in a hurry, this eldest lady is really not easy to handle, the old lady just put a girl by her side, she wants to eat soft nails for herself like this, and the old lady will let her marry the eighth prince. I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse.

Lu Ya was a little worried that this would offend Jiang's mother and the old lady: "Miss"

Chu Xi did this on purpose, she didn't worry about what the old lady would do to her because of this: "Sister Chunzhi and Xiao Fu'er went to fetch dinner together." ”

Haruka blushed, bowed her head and left.

"Green Sandalwood hasn't come back yet?" Chu Xi asked lightly, and a person jumped down from the beam: "Come back, come back, I'll be back when you enter the door." Lu Tan said with a smile.

Green Bud laughed: "Miss asked you to go out generously with the jade plate, why did you come back like a thief." ”

"Shhhhh----h ”

"What good news." Chu Xi laughed softly, holding the teacup in her hand, holding the lid and slowly fiddling with the tea leaves, but she didn't drink it.

Lu Tan said mysteriously: "I heard outside that there is a woman in the Eighth Prince's Mansion who went to make trouble with a big belly, so she asked her to recognize her son." ”

Chu Xi glanced at her lightly: "I didn't let you inquire about gossip." She knew in her previous life that the woman had indeed dressed the Eighth Prince for a period of time when the Eighth Prince was away from the country to control the water, but the eldest prince would use this to reduce the reputation of the Eighth Prince, accusing him of having the energy to control the water. Originally, the prince was romantic, and it was just a joke, but the woman had a miscarriage at the gate of the prince's mansion not long after, saying that the eighth prince instructed someone to beat her, which set off a small wave among the people, making the reputation of the eighth prince worse and worse.

The eldest prince has no great talent, and he ponders these small schemes all day long, but with the help of King Xiaoyao, it does play a big role.

"I know you don't care about the Eighth Prince, but do you know where I found who?" Green sandalwood sells obediently.

Chu Xi raised his eyes to look at her: "Father." ”

Lu Tan's eyes widened: "How do you know, why don't you guess Chu Qitai or something." ”

Lu Tan smiled faintly: "There are only a few people you know who have intersections with me, Chu Qitai's brothers and sisters were detained in the house by their grandmother, and only their father was outside." ”

Lu Tan pouted: "I saw the Prime Minister standing at the door, in a dilemma, and when I inquired, I found out that the woman happened to be brought up by my cousin Li Xiao, this cousin was originally kind, but when this happened, I am afraid that my future will be ruined." ”

"Li Xiao?" Chu Xi became serious, how could he be involved, was it a coincidence.

"Green Shoots, prepare pen and ink." She can't let Li Xiao become the eldest prince to damage the death of the eighth prince, Li Xiao will be of great use in the future, how can the trick she left for herself be so light and invalid.

After Chu Xi finished writing, she put it on the fire and roasted it, then put it in an envelope and handed it to Lu Tan: "Do you have a way to quietly send it to the Eighth Prince?" ”

Lu Tan frowned: "The Eighth Prince is surrounded by masters both openly and secretly, and I can't get close." ”

"Then you have to find a way to let the Eighth Prince see this letter."

Lu Tan bowed his head, raised his eyebrows and looked at Chu Xi: "Isn't Miss like this cousin?" ”

Chu Xi glanced at her lightly, Lu Tan hurriedly coughed twice, turned his head and went inside, opened the window, and quietly went out again.

Chu Xi's heart was a little hanging, and she always felt that it was good to do something, so after thinking about it, she asked Lu Ya to prepare a cloak: "Go, go to the old lady." ”

Green Sprouts hurriedly followed: "Miss, it's dark this day, and the old lady must have rested." ”

Chu Xi quickly thought about what to say for a while to get the old lady to save Li Xiao, ignoring the green sprouts, and halfway through, someone came out to block the way, Chu Xi raised her eyes, it was actually the two grandmothers beside Qin Xue, tall and strong, it was more than enough to capture her and the green sprouts.

"Miss, Madame would like to invite you to come over and talk." The mother-in-law laughed.

Chu Xi stood still, Qin Xue was looking for her at this time, it must have been Chu Qitai who told her about the Yan Mansion, but she couldn't escape left and right.

"Hmm." Chu Ji bowed his head.

The two mothers-in-law were ready to forcibly take her away, but they didn't expect her to agree so happily, and they were a little suspicious: "Do you want to prepare something for the eldest lady?" ”

Chu Xi looked up at the two of them strangely, and turned her head to look at the green sprouts with an anxious face: "You go and tell Chunzhi Xiaofu'er that dinner will be left in the kitchen to be hot first, and you will bring it later." After that, he looked at the two of them and said, "Let's go." ”

Looking at Chu Xi, who was in a hurry to go to Ruyi Garden than the two mothers-in-law, Lu Ya was sweating anxiously, but she didn't dare to delay, so she hurriedly went to find the kitchen.

The thoughts in Chu Xi's mind turned quickly, looking at Ruyi Yuan not far away, and suddenly had an idea in his heart, which could not only save Li Xiao, but also make Qin Xue fall on his heels.
