"Gone?"

Zhao Xunyan looked coldly at Yun Songyi standing below, Yun Songyi looked at him like this, and suddenly figured out, why should she love such a man.

"Yes, Sister Ji'er said that there is an urgent matter in the house. And if the prince wants to ask her anything, go directly to Chu Mansion, after all, Sister Xi'er is still a yellow flower girl, and it is not appropriate to meet you in private. Yun Songyi's attitude is dignified, neither humble nor arrogant, so that the old man Yan on the side has some appreciation, and this kind of bearing is like a daughter of a big family.

Before Zhao Xunyan could speak, Old Master Yan got up and saluted: "Lord Wang, I heard that the abbot master is going to give a public lecture today, and the old minister is interested in listening to it, do you want to go and see it together?" ”

Looking at Elder Yan, who was protecting his short-term life, Zhao Xunyan laughed instead: "No, this king has other important matters to deal with, and he is relieved to see that Elder Yan is in good health." By the way, Miss Yun seems to be unmarried, I don't know if Elder Yan has ever thought about it."

"Yi'er is still young, and this granddaughter is really loved, and I want her to stay by her side for two more years." Elder Yan said busily.

Zhao Xunyan glanced at Yun Songyi, who was standing at the bottom, his fingers clenched, and said, "Yes, don't delay Miss Yun's lifelong event." With that, he walked away directly.

After he left, Yun Songyi raised his head and reddened his eyes.

Elder Yan didn't know what she was thinking, and sighed lightly: "Okay, don't cry, come and talk to your grandfather, and your grandfather will find you a good family when you go back." ”

Yun Songyi's heart warmed slightly, and she hurriedly stepped forward to sit on the other side of the warm couch, looking at Elder Yan and said, "Grandfather, Yi'er wants to go to find Sister Xi'er." ”

Elder Yan knows that Chu Ji is a powerful person. Although Yun Songyi is occasionally rude, he is actually simple and has no scheming, and it is good to get along with Chu Xi.

"Good. But it's too late today, and I'll go again tomorrow. Elder Yan smiled, usually he is always serious and does not smile, but Yun Songyi is lively and lively, she can always smile in front of her.

Yun Songyi remembered what Chu Ji explained, and then said, "Grandfather, have you ever heard about Lord Han Minhan?" ”

"Han Min, what's wrong?"

"Something Wrong"

Zhao Xunyan quickly caught up with the carriage, he looked at the carriage that was intercepted by his own people, and sneered: "You are running so fast, are you afraid of me?" ”

Lu Ya's face tightened, and she lifted the curtain and walked out: "The slave has seen the prince, Miss she is not in the carriage"

Zhao Xunyan's face was slightly gloomy, and the attendant on the side stepped forward and lifted the carriage curtain, but it was indeed empty inside.

Seeing this, Zhao Xunyan laughed instead: "Okay, if she is really smart, such a woman, this king is really more and more interested." ”

Green Sprout listened to his increasingly cold words, and didn't dare to make a sound, and only then did he dare to raise his head when they were all gone, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, Miss ran fast." Then he got into the carriage and went back to the town.

Lu Ya picked up Chu Ji and the others, and then went to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The news that Chu Qitai was sent back was known after Chu Bingsong picked up Qin Xue in a sedan chair, and he was immediately frightened, this was someone deliberately trying to harm him!

"Master, what should I do? The eldest prince is now being thrown in your yard. Someone came and asked.

Chu Bingsong's face darkened: "Does the old lady know about this?" ”

"The minion hasn't let anyone say it yet." That's humane.

Chu Bingsong became more and more flustered: "Go, you take the eldest prince directly to the yamen first"

"But Lord Han of Yamen is now in Dali Temple"

"Then send Chu Qitai to Dali Temple too!" Chu Bingsong said sharply, everyone was startled, they didn't dare to say more, and they hurriedly responded, but they hadn't gone out yet, and Qin Xue, who had not had time to send them to Ruyi Garden, was annoyed: "Chu Bingsong, Tai'er is your biological son!" ”

"If he violates the law, he should be punished according to the law!" Chu Bingsong scolded directly, Qin Xue had already taken it back, so he didn't worry about what outsiders would say, he looked at the mother-in-law on the side and said coldly: "Don't send Mrs. back to Ruyi Garden, so you can wait!" ”

"Yes!" The mother-in-law didn't dare to say more than half a word, but even though Qin Xue was still struggling, they hurriedly grabbed her and carried her away.

Chu Bingsong was so angry that he paced back and forth, but after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't come up with a way, so he went directly to Ronghua Courtyard.

Before Mrs. Chu was well from her illness, she heard that Chu Qitai had been thrown back.

Mother Jiang stood on the side, holding the decoction, but Mrs. Chu couldn't drink half a mouthful: "Evil, evil!" ”

Mother Jiang didn't speak, just stood quietly.

When Chu Bingsong rushed in, he happened to see the old lady leaning on the edge of the bed and beating the bed.

"Tyre has been sent back!" Chu Bingsong stepped forward and said coldly.

Old Madam Chu raised her eyes to look at her tired son, and said, "You sent it to the yamen?" ”

"Sent it." Chu Bingsong waved his subordinates away, sat on the stool on the side, and his face was a little gloomy: "Even if I send it over now, it's already too late, this matter is now the prince's responsibility, and I am obviously a person from the King of Xiaoyao, but the King of Xiaoyao no longer intends to take care of this matter, and the prince will take the opportunity to get rid of me." ”

When Old Madam Chu heard this, she was anxious and coughed violently.

Chu Bing let go of his hand and moved slightly, but he still didn't lift it up to bring the cup of tea to the old lady.

After Mrs. Chu finished coughing, she reached out and took the tea, but seeing that her uncontrollable hand trembled, she sighed deeply: "Now that everyone has sent it over, it should be fine." ”

"Knowing the law and breaking the law means that the previous exiled prisoner was investigated, and the emperor will not spare it. During this time, too many things happened in the court, and the emperor was obviously not as patient as before. The new Dali Temple Cheng was removed by the emperor because of his private execution, but he was more than ten years old when his parents were the official to have today, the emperor said that he would withdraw, and in a blink of an eye he became a grass people. Chu Bingsong sighed, thinking about his own affairs, but he had palpitations: "Tai'er's matter is obviously secretly caused by someone, even if I send him away non-stop like this, is it hard to guarantee that no one will find out something, and there are fewer things to blame?" ”

Chu Bingsong questioned one after another, like a sharp knife into the old lady's heart. What she was most worried about was the safety of the Chu Mansion, but listening to Chu Bingsong's words, it seemed that in the next second, the emperor would come to the Holy Decree to remove his official position, and let them become ordinary people again.

"The emperor is discerning"

Before the old lady's words were finished, Chu Bingsong was dissatisfied again: "Discerning? The emperor has long been impatient. Moreover, Xu Minzhong is dead, and the blame for this crime will definitely be counted on my head; Last time, my mother went to the prison to poison Tai'er, and they thought you were secretly colluding, and now he was found in the Chu Mansion again" The more Chu Bingsong said that the more nervous he became, he simply stood up and walked back and forth in this small room.

When the old lady saw him like this, her voice suddenly became hoarse: "Then what do you want to do Song'er?" ”

Chu Bingsong's footsteps stopped: "What should I do." What else can be done. Now I can't even find a scapegoat. Chu Bingsong thought of Qin Xue's matter, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he turned his head to glare at her angrily: "If you hadn't forced Qin Xue to come up with a letter of resignation and force her to confess, I wouldn't have been cornered now!" ”

Faced with the reproach of her only son, the old lady's heart was like a knife: "Then what should I do?" The ancestors of the Chu family have produced such a prime minister as you, none of your cousins and brothers are angry, you can't have anything, our Chu Mansion is decent"

"And what's the decency? As soon as I go to court tomorrow, the excerpts of those imperial historians and officials will be sent to the emperor's desk, and there will be no shortage of officials. "How is Chu Bingsong not in a hurry, he has worked hard for decades in order to compete for the position of prime minister, but now, he is about to lose it for a stupid son.

The old lady looked at him and seemed to have made a decision in her heart: "My son, don't worry, it's going to be fine, isn't it just a person who is guilty of the crime?" ”

"It can't be Qin Xue anymore." Chu Bingsong said, Qin Xue's matter has spread all over the world, and she is a person who refuses to sacrifice herself to admit her guilt, so she must not be able to fight her mind again. But apart from Qin Xue, who can bear this crime?

Old Madam Chu closed her eyes painfully: "Don't worry, my mother knows what to do, and I promise not to cause you any more trouble." ”

Chu Bingsong looked at the old lady's face like ashes, and knelt down with a bang.

He was also very hesitant, but is the old lady important, or is it important that the prime minister's mansion he has worked hard for decades is important? He had already made a decision from the moment he stepped through the door.

"Mother, my son is sorry for you." Chu Bingsong kowtowed heavily.

The old lady's old eyes were cloudy: "But you have to promise me a few things." ”

"Mother, please speak." Chu Bingsong said.

"The first thing, let Brother Hong become a son-in-law, you can train him well."

"Good!" Chu Bingsong was busy.

"Very good, the second one" The old lady raised her eyes and looked at the faint light that came in through the window: "Kill Chu Xi!" ”

"Kill Chu Xi?" Chu Bingsong was a little puzzled, and the old lady gritted her teeth: "She was sent by Yang Pei to ask for your life, she is a bad star, a nemesis, as soon as she comes back to Chu Mansion, she will be damned, damned!" "Old Madam Chu is so angry, more because she is going to die.

Chu Bingsong didn't have time to think about it: "Okay! ”

When the old lady saw that he responded, she seemed to have relieved all her strength: "Okay, you go, tomorrow you go to the court with peace of mind, nothing will happen." ”

Chu Bingsong glanced at the old lady who seemed to be ten years old all of a sudden, her eyes were slightly wet, but she didn't relent, and turned her head to leave.

Looking at his back as he left indifferently, the old lady's eyes were wet, but for the honor of the Chu Mansion, she could sacrifice everything, including herself.

After Chu Ji returned to the Chu Mansion, she heard about Chu Qitai, and Lu Tan was still strange: "Miss, do we want to go and take a look?" ”

"No need." Chu Xi breathed a sigh of relief: "We missed the play, let's go back and wait." With that, he walked to the Pavilion of the Pavilion.

"Huh? Play? Lu Tan was puzzled, Chun Zhi pulled Lu Tan and whispered: "The master just went to Ronghua Courtyard, and when he came back, his forehead seemed to be bruised." ”

Lu Tan narrowed his eyes: "Could it be that the old lady plans to let the old lady be this substitute for the dead?" ”

Chunzhi pursed her lips and shook her head slightly, and the green sprouts glanced at Bai Xue who came from the fork in the road, and said busily: "Okay, don't guess, let's go back and wait first." ”

"Okay." A few people hurriedly left.

Bai Xue naturally heard their words, and she didn't care about the lantern in her hand, so she hurriedly carried her skirt and went back, but when she arrived at the gate of Ronghua Courtyard, she saw that Jiang's mother was also there, and there were two more guards in front of Ronghua Courtyard.

"Mother Jiang, what's wrong?" Bai Xue hurriedly asked.

Mother Jiang's expression was faint: "The master ordered, no one in Ronghua Courtyard is allowed to enter tonight." ”

"But the old lady is still in there, and needs someone to serve her." Bai Xue's eyes were red, she grew up in front of the old lady, and her feelings for the old lady were naturally different.

Mother Jiang looked at her and said, "The old lady doesn't need to be served, let's just wait outside." ”

"But"

"Okay, don't make a noise about the old lady." Mother Jiang interrupted Bai Xue's words.

Bai Xue said no more. It's just that I'm getting more and more uneasy.

In the room, the old lady opened the crane top red that had been placed in the small box, and she didn't notice the stool under her feet, and the whole person was tripped on the ground.

The old lady fell all over her body, and habitually shouted: "Come on, come on"

After shouting, no one came over for a long time, the old lady was desolate, and she didn't believe that Chu Bingsong would do such a desperate thing, and said loudly: "Mother Jiang, Bai Xue, where are you?"

The old lady shouted for a long time, but she didn't even move half-dead, so she completely lost her heart, and turned her head to look at the poison in her hand: "My son, my mother pulled you to grow up and broke your heart for you, now." Mother only has one life for you" After that, she raised her head and drank the medicine in her hand, then fell to the ground, and muttered in her mouth before she died: "I have the face to go to see my ancestors and ancestors, and they don't dare to look down on me anymore" Accompanied by her muttering voice, there were muddy tears falling from her eyes.

Chu Xi sat quietly on the warm couch, listening to the noise outside, and just sighed slightly: "Forget it, let her in." ”

When Chunzhi heard this, she let Bai Xue in.

Bai Xue came in and knelt down in front of Chu Xi: "Miss, slave beg, save the old lady." ”

Chu Xi looked at her, got up and wanted to help her up, but Bai Xue refused to get up: "If Miss doesn't agree to the slave, the slave won't get up." ”

"Sister Bai Xue, why bother Miss?" On the side, Lu Ya said: "Miss has always been the most unpopular in this family, who do you want Miss to beg?" Ask the lord or the eldest lady? ”

Bai Xue looked at Chu Xi with red eyes: "But the eldest lady is the smartest, the slave maid came in and didn't say anything, don't you even know what happened in Ronghua Courtyard?" ”

Chu Xi's hand holding the teacup paused slightly. looked at Bai Xue and said, "I'll teach you a way, but it's up to you whether you can save it." ”

"Girl, say!" Bai Xue said busily.

"You go out of the house immediately to ask for a doctor, the old lady is sick, you have spread it outside, and my father has no reason to stop you." Chu Ji said.

When Bai Xue heard this, she hurriedly reacted, and kowtowed to Chu Xi a few more times: "Thank you, Miss, the slave will go!" With that, he wiped away his tears, and hurried out before he even had time to put on his cloak.

Lu Ya looked at Chu Xi in surprise: "Why does Miss still help her find a way?" ”

Chu Xi got up and put down the teacup: "Even if she finds a doctor, I'm afraid it's too late." "Now that Chu Bingsong is in ruins, how could he allow this matter to go wrong again, and Old Madam Chu will definitely die.

Lu Tan also sighed: "It's a pity for Bai Xue, a loyal girl." ”

"She treats everyone sincerely, when the old lady goes, I'm afraid she will suffer, Chunzhi, you can help take care of it in the house." Chu Ji said.

Haruka hurriedly answered. Aunt Fu saw all these in her eyes, and only said that Chu Ji was both smart and benevolent.

"Okay, you all go down, if you leak half a word about this matter, you will be killed, you must remember."

"Miss, don't worry." Several people said in unison.

Chu Ji bowed: "Go back and rest, tomorrow is the busiest time." Chu Xi looked at the sky, turned around lightly and went back to the room.

She has been very lazy lately, and she didn't let Yahuan come to serve, so she didn't even bother to light the candles, and she took off her clothes and was about to go to bed, but before she sat on the bed, she heard a faint voice: "You light, don't crush the future husband to death"

Chu Xi listened to the familiar voice, first startled, but then she couldn't say anything, turned her head to light the candle, and then saw the person on the bed clearly.

Lin Qingyu's face was pale, almost transparent. This time, he was not covered in blood, but the original head of green silk was now full of gray hairs.

Chu Xi frowned: "You"

"I'm fine, I just have to rest for half a month." Lin Qingyu shushed and said, "You are a bedman, so I came." ”

Chu Ji saw that he was still joking at this moment, and said coldly: "Then you sleep on this bed, and I'll sleep on the warm bed." With that, he turned around and was about to leave.

When Lin Qingyu saw it, he was busy holding his chest and panting: "It hurts"

Chu Xi turned around and saw that his forehead was covered with fine sweat, so he gritted his teeth and walked over: "Do you have to die here with me?" Although he said this, he hurriedly took a towel in his hand and soaked it in hot water before carefully wiping his sweat for him.

Lin Qingyu took the opportunity to grab her hand: "Well, if I want to die, I have to see you, otherwise I will not be blind to death." ”

Chu Xi was dumbfounded, Lin Qingyu enjoyed Chu Xi's service, and smiled tiredly: "I thought about it, and I think I still have to tell you one thing, otherwise you will really fall in love with me in the future, I'm afraid you will misunderstand"

"Tell me about your sweetheart?" Chu Xi turned her face lightly and was about to get up to leave, but was pulled by Lin Qingyu: "Are you jealous?" ”

"Jealous?" Chu Xi sneered, but his face was unwilling to turn to look at him, and he only felt stuffy in his heart.

Lin Qingyu saw that she was really jealous, and became happy: "It seems that Su Su has done something to make me happy, and she was originally going to punish her for thinking about it for five years, but now it will be changed to three years." ”

Chu Xi: ""

"She is the daughter of the former Pavilion Master of Wuji Pavilion, my senior sister." Lin Qingyu said.

"Childhood sweetheart,It's good"

"What's good!" Lin Qingyu was slightly annoyed, pulled her into his arms, pressed her who was about to struggle, and whispered in her ear: "No one is as good as you." ”

When Chu Xi heard this, her ears were hot, but she quickly calmed down: "I've heard a lot of sweet words."

"If you don't believe me anymore, I'll disband Wuji Pavilion, it's a mess anyway. I originally wanted to give it to you as a dowry, but now I think about it, forget it, I can't buy anything in Jinshan Yinshan, a small Wuji Pavilion, if you like it, I will build ten for you. Lin Qingyu said with slight annoyance.

Chu Xi knew that he would not really disband Wuji Pavilion, after all, listening to him, it should have been passed on to him by his master.

"No, I don't." Chu Xi said coldly.

Lin Qing was foolish, holding Chu Ji tightly with both hands, gently pressing his face against hers, rubbing it slowly, and sighed lightly: "Don't want Wuji Pavilion to do it, you can't want me." ”

Chu Xi felt the cold temperature on his face, frowned slightly, but did not speak.

Lin Qingyu was foolish for a long time before he said, "She is my senior sister, and she is just a senior sister." I owe Master a life, but I don't owe her. They say I'm ruthless or cold-blooded, and no one can control my thoughts. I'm not young, I have my own opinions, even if the master jumps out of the coffin and scolds me, it's a big deal, I just give him back this life. Lin Qingyu said.

After hearing this, the inexplicable uncomfortable emotions suppressed in Chu Xi's heart actually disappeared.

Chu Ji frowned: "Let go"

"I don't." Lin Qingyu was full of grievances.

Chu Ji was full of black lines: "It's uncomfortable for you to hold me like this, change your position"

"Change your position and wait for me, I can try any position, as long as you like it" Lin Qingyu said shyly, but his arm was loosened.

Chu Xi blushed from the root of her neck and glared at Lin Qingyu, and then lay down next to him, but Lin Qingyu desperately stuffed her arm under her neck, and with her hand, Chu Xi turned over and hugged him.

Lin Qingyu's consciousness had gradually begun to get confused, and he hugged Chu Xi and muttered, "Xi'er, you can hold me." I like it when you hold me."

His voice gradually weakened, but Chu Xi's eyes moistened at some point. Listening to the slow heartbeat in his chest, he took a deep breath, found a comfortable position between his neck, rubbed it, and then fell asleep, but he always couldn't hold back and wanted to laugh

Chu Xi was woken up by the noise outside the next morning, and when she opened her eyes, she realized that the sky was already bright, she had never slept for so long, but last night, she seemed to sleep very peacefully.

Lin Qingyu was still asleep, Chu Xi saw that he was sleeping peacefully and his breathing was quite steady, so he got up lightly and prepared to leave, but before the person left, his hand was grabbed by him: "Don't go"

"Don't go. I'm dealing with something. Chu Xi subconsciously comforted, Lin Qingyu heard this, looked at the corners of her lips as if with a smile, and then fell asleep again.

After Chu Ji cleaned up herself, she walked out of the room.

"Green sandalwood is waiting here, and no one is allowed to enter the room." Chu Ji said.

Lu Tan nodded hurriedly, Chu Xi walked out of the door, looked at the people in the courtyard who were talking in a low voice, and said: "Don't talk about the master's affairs, if there are any more talkers, drive them out of the Chu Mansion directly." ”

When the maids and sons saw Chu Xi speaking in person, they hurriedly bowed their heads and responded.

After Chu Xi finished speaking, he stepped out.

Lu Ya took the cloak and hurriedly followed, and Chunzhi was also there: "Miss, I heard that something happened in Ronghua Courtyard" Chunzhi said.

"Where's the master?" Chu Xi asked.

"Originally, I went to the court, but Sister Bai Xue found a doctor and came over and went in to have a look. The old lady actually committed suicide by taking poison, and left a confession, and when the old man heard it, he hurriedly made people take a leave of absence, and now the big guys are inside. Chunzhi's tone was a little sad, after all, he had been in Ronghua Courtyard for a few years, and he could be regarded as still thinking about the relationship between master and servant.

"Confession?" Chu Xi hooked the corners of her mouth sarcastically, although Mrs. Chu said that she was also from a teacher's family before, she didn't know a few words, asking her to write a confession, isn't it a snake to add to it, Chu Bingsong seems to be really messed up.

Chunzhi nodded hurriedly: "I heard that the confession was discovered by the master, and the old lady admitted that she had repeatedly saved the eldest prince in disregard of the law and discipline, and felt that her sin was unforgivable, so she could only apologize with death, and begged the emperor to let the master go and let Chu Mansion go." ”

Chunzhi also sighed when he heard it: "It is said that tiger poison does not eat children, but child poison can hurt the mother." ”

Don't say a word about that. Including in front of me, understand? Chu Ji stopped and admonished.

Green Sprout hurriedly lowered his head in response, but a slightly excited voice came from not far away: "Big sister!" ”

Chu Xi sighed softly, turned her head to look at Li Xiao, who was dressed in a vegetarian body, and stepped forward to salute: "Big sister, are you okay?" ”

"It's fine." Chu Xi shook her head slightly.

"It's okay." Li Xiao seemed to react that there should be no love for children in this situation, and said busily: "Big sister, let's go to Ronghua Courtyard together, my mother only knew the news, and she had already cried twice." ”

"Hmm." Chu Xiao bowed her head and walked over with Li Xiao.

Green Bud looked at Li Xiao's back, the air seemed to be filled with a faint aroma of ink, pursed her lips slightly, and walked over.

The maids and daughters in Ronghua Courtyard have been crying, and the people who take care of the funeral have also begun to clean up and prepare inside and out.

Mrs. Chu's body was only cleaned up, and Chu Bingsong hurriedly ordered someone to put her in the coffin.

Bai Xue was already crying so much that she couldn't make a sound, Jiang's mother had slightly red eyes, and she knelt on one side without speaking.

Chu Xi looked at it. Everyone is there, but Chu Xiuxiu is missing.

Aunt Nie saw Chu Xi's gaze sweeping over, and hurriedly lowered her head.

"Carry the coffin to the front yard." Chu Bingsong said in a hoarse voice, as if he was very tired.

Chu Zhenzhen also had red eyes, but she was more afraid that it was for the sixty dowry promised by the old lady and the eldest brother Chu Qitai, who was sure to die, as well as the filial piety period that was likely to be observed because of the death of her grandmother. The really sad thing here, except for Bai Xue, I'm afraid that only Mrs. Li is there.

The coffin was carried away, Chu Xi stood respectfully on the side, and when Chu Bingsong left, he stopped and glanced at her: "Go and change into plain clothes, and guard it for your grandmother." ”

"Yes." Chu Xi responded, she was wearing plain clothes when she came out today, but she needed to go back and change into vegetarian.

Mrs. Li was supported by Li Xiao and followed the coffin to the front yard, Chu Zhenzhen stood up and walked to Chu Zhen: "Why did the big sister come so late?" ”

"I didn't know it happened." Chu Ji said.

Chu Zhenzhen looked at her: "Big sister doesn't seem to be sad at all. ”

"Does sadness have to be on the face? Maybe it's not really sad for my grandmother. Chu Xi's tone was light. But it crushed Chu Zhenzhen to death.

Chu Zhenzhen gritted her teeth, remembering that Chu Qitai would also die, she didn't argue much, turned around and followed everyone.

Mother Jiang came over: "Miss, go change your clothes, the slave remembers that there is a girl with good kung fu by your side, you can also bring it." ”

Chu Xi glanced at Mother Jiang, who was meaningful, nodded gratefully, and then Mother Jiang left with Bai Xue.

Aunt Nie wanted to sneak away in the crowd, but Chu Xi said, "Aunt Nie"

Aunt Nie's footsteps stopped, and she looked back at Chu Xi in embarrassment: "Miss"

"I just want to remind you, don't go too fast, or the silk flowers will fall, and you don't know." Chu Xi leaned over and picked up a white silk flower that fell on the ground.

Aunt Nie looked at the silk flower, hurriedly took it, thanked her again, and then left in a hurry. But Aunt Nie is not stupid. Thinking of Chu Xi's words, she bit her lip slightly, did she say that Xiuxiu was too anxious

The news that the old lady of the Chu family committed suicide in fear of crime soon spread all over the capital, and after Zhao Xuanyi heard it, he felt more and more that Chu Bingsong was unusable, but Zhao Xunyan felt that it was useful. Such a vicious person is like a sharp knife, and if it is really ruthless, it will inevitably hurt people's muscles and bones.

Jiao Simiao still sighed a little on the side: "I can't imagine Chu Bingsong is so ruthless"

"Just like you." Zhao Xunyan said lightly, and Jiao Simiao hurriedly knelt down: "Lord Wang"

"Well, since this king wants to use you, he will not expose you." Zhao Xunyan's chin raised slightly: "You did a good job in this matter, go down." ”

"Yes." Jiao Simiao's face was gloomy, but he didn't let Zhao Xunyan see it, so he turned his head and retreated.

Zhao Xunyan watched Jiao Simiao leave, his face cold: "Someone is coming." ”

"What does the prince command?" Someone came right away.

"How's the draft going to be in the palace?"

The man raised his head and smiled: "Don't worry, the people arranged by the slaves have already begun to spread in the neighboring state capitals." It is said that the draft will be used to pray for this year's disaster year, and I believe that it will soon spread to the capital. ”

"Good." Zhao Xunyan stood up, looked at the thick snow outside the house, and said indifferently: "There are many people now, if you don't draft the draft, the emperor will go against the will of the people."

When Chu Xi came back to change clothes, Lin Qingyu was already sober: "Wear thicker, it's cold when you wake the spirit." ”

"Hmm." Chu Xi responded lightly, but felt warm in her heart.

Lin Qingyu looked at her, still not at ease: "You can take the green sandalwood, the girl of the spring branch can also take it, and the green sprouts will stay in the courtyard." ”

"Why?" Chu Xi turned his head to look at Lin Qingyu, did he know so much about the people around him.

"Isn't your cousin here too?" Lin Qingyu's pale face pulled up a smile, and Chu Xiwaner: "You are thoughtful." ”

"Nature." Lin Qingyu laughed confidently.

Chu Ji didn't talk to him, and went out after getting dressed, anyway, Lin Fu must be guarding here, Lin Qingyu will neither be found nor starve.

When Chu Ji arrived in the front yard, the entire Chu Mansion was already in mourning, and it seemed that all the subordinates were very reluctant to give up this master. Chu Xi was a little ironic in her heart, she didn't see such sadness when her biological mother died tragically.

Chu Bingsong didn't dare to do it in a big way, everything was simple, after all, Mrs. Chu died in fear of sin, and Chu Bingsong's popularity during this period was extremely poor, so everyone couldn't protect themselves, let alone come over.

Therefore, except for Bai Xue's low sobbing and Li's crying, the mourning hall was extraordinarily quiet.

Brother Hong also knelt aside, not crying or making trouble, but innocently asked Bai Xue on the side: "Sister Bai Xue, what's wrong with grandmother?" ”

Bai Xue couldn't cry, Chu Bingsong remembered the old lady's request before she died, and said in a low voice: "Grandmother is dead." ”

Therefore, it means to die.

Brother Hong naturally understood, but he didn't show the sadness of an ordinary child, but turned his head to look at Chu Bingsong: "Then Brother Hong will have no one to take care of him in the future, can he follow his father?" ”

Chu Bingsong didn't think much about it, just looked at Brother Hong, who didn't have the slightest sadness, in surprise, and nodded.

Chu Xi listened to this conversation lightly, Brother Hong was like Chu Bingsong at a young age, cold-blooded and ruthless, but he was really his own son.

No one came to worship, but the sons and grandsons of the Chu family naturally knelt and guarded, but Mrs. Hou came over to worship, looked at Chu Xi who was kneeling on one side with her head bowed, she was distressed, and looked at Chu Bingsong: "Can I talk to my sister?" ”

Chu Bingsong looked at Chu Xi deeply, remembered the old lady's second request, and said in a deep voice: "I'm still worshipping now, I'm afraid I can't go away." ”

Mrs. Hou didn't say anything when she saw him like this, but ordinary people would let the children occasionally loosen their legs and feet in the ear room on the side, but Chu Bingsong seemed to deliberately want to leave Chu Xi behind.

Seeing that she was the lady of the Marquis of Anping, even if she was sad, she did not forget to think about her son, and said busily: "I'll take my sister to the ear room to sit for a while." After saying that, he got up and looked at Chu Xi: "Xi'er, get up." ”

Chu Xi glanced at Chu Bingsong, who was glaring angrily, answered softly, then stood up and followed a few people into the room.

Chu Bingsong was about to have a seizure, when he saw that someone from the Dingguo Mansion had also come.

Chu Zhenzhen was originally happy, if someone from the Dingguo Mansion came, it would mean that they still recognized the Prime Minister's Mansion, but she didn't expect the Dingguo Mansion to be so ruthless, and directly sent a document to sever relations with Qin Xue.

It was the Huang family who came to deliver the letter, and the Huang family timidly glanced at the angry Chu Bingsong, and said busily: "Prime Minister Chu, my father-in-law and mother-in-law are also very sad when the old lady passes away, but the eldest sister broke the heart of her father-in-law and mother-in-law, so she made this decision." ”

Chu Bingsong always knew that the concubine of Dingguo Gong was not a person who could carry it, and he was in such a hurry to send this document because he was afraid that he would implicate them.

"Yes." After Chu Bingsong finished coldly, he scolded the subordinates on the side: "Don't send off the guests yet, what are you doing in a daze!" ”

Huang was frightened. glanced at Chu Zhenzhen on the ground, and hurriedly turned his head and left.

Chu Zhenzhen was so angry that she couldn't do it, and now that she had severed her relationship with the Dingguo Mansion, her identity was even more unbearable.

"Father" Chu Zhenzhen wanted to say something, but Chu Bingsong was dissatisfied: "What about your mother, why don't you come to guard!" ”

"Mother's Body"

"Even if she is lying down, she will lie here for me, as a daughter-in-law, this is the woman's way she should keep!" Chu Bingsong's dark face trembled with anger, now the Chu Mansion is in a mess, and even the middle feed in the family can only be handed over to Yanxue, an aunt, to take care of.

Aunt Nie carefully shrank aside to reduce her sense of presence, and Chu Bingsong glared at her with red eyes: "What about Xiuxiu, this unfilial girl, why hasn't she appeared yet?" ”

Aunt Nie hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Xiuxiu Xiuxiu her"

As she was talking, Chu Xiuxiu ran in crying, but she didn't have time to change out of the gorgeous robe and the pearl green on her head that didn't fit well.

"Grandmother, Xiuxiu is late" Chu Xiuxiu howled loudly, and the people around her were embarrassed.

Chu Bingsong was so angry that he kicked her heart: "Unfilial girl, where did you go?" ”

Chu Xiuxiu didn't know why Chu Bingsong had such a big temper. With tears in his eyes, he said, "I went"

"Back to the master, the fourth lady is back and is outside." There were people who were busy reporting it, Chu Bingsong remembered that his fourth daughter was no worse than the three daughters, and now she was not married, so she made up her mind: "Let her in." ”

"The fourth sister was not punished by her grandmother in the family temple" Chu Xiuxiu was about to say, but she was busy being pulled by Aunt Nie, Chu Bingsong looked at the two, snorted coldly, turned her head and gave the old lady incense again. Looking at the dark coffin, Chu Bingsong couldn't say what he felt in his heart, but he didn't regret it, he had worked hard to run the Prime Minister's Mansion all his life, and he couldn't just destroy it like this!

Chu Xi listened to the noise outside, her face was pale, and Mrs. Li pulled Li Xiao to sit in.

"Let Mrs. Hou smile." Li Shi was busy with tea.

Mrs. Hou didn't think anything was wrong, but looked at Chu Ji worriedly: "Is Xi'er okay?" ”

"Thank you Mrs. Hou for your concern. It's not a big deal. Chu Xi stood aside and responded, Li Xiao saw such a scene like a mother-in-law asking her daughter-in-law, and lowered her head.

Mrs. Hou explained again, and then left, after all, the Li family has been following, and she can't say anything confidant, but she has always wanted to cling to the relationship, Mrs. Hou looked at Li Xiao with an embarrassed face.

After sending Mrs. Hou away, Li grabbed Chu Ji: "Mrs. Hou seems to like you a lot?" ”

Chu Xi turned her head to look at her: "Auntie, is there something wrong?" ”

Seeing that he was directly pierced by Chu Xi, Li Shi was slightly embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "I heard that Anping Hou also has a relationship in Tai Academy."

"That's it!" Li Xiao finally couldn't help it: "Does my mother want her son to be on the list in the future, but also to be pointed at and said to be nepotism?" ”

Where had Li seen him lose his temper so much, his eyes were still swollen, and he looked at him: "Xiao'er, what are you talking about, you can be admitted to self-heating is your own ability plus the blessing of your grandmother's spirit in the sky, okay, you go out and kowtow to your grandmother." Li pushed him in a hoarse voice.

Li Xiao was embarrassed. I was embarrassed to look at Chu Xi, so I just hung my head and said, "Big sister, let's go out together." ”

"Okay" Chu Ji responded, so angry that Li scolded Li Xiao for being an elm head.

Chu Bingsong also knelt until late at night, at this time the concubines under Mrs. Chu came back, and the second aunt began to cry as soon as she entered the door, and the second master also followed, and the originally silent Chu Mansion actually gave birth to a bit of ironic liveliness.

Chu Bingsong's face darkened, and the Li family also straightened his face, muttering: "A concubine is a concubine, there are no rules." ”

When the second aunt heard this, she was not annoyed, but only turned her head to look at Chu Bingsong: "Oh, big brother, why did you say that you broke a Tai'er all of a sudden, and now our mother is gone." ”

Chu Bingsong's face became more and more embarrassed, he threw all the paper money in his hand into the brazier, got up and left.

Chu Xi raised her eyes and looked at Chu Dai'er, who was kneeling quietly in the corner. Chu Dai'er also looked back, but gave her a weird smile.
