Zhao Xuanyi had walked well, but before he got into the carriage, the carriage dispersed directly.

"Protect the Prince!" The guards hurried around.

Lin Qingyu coughed lightly, the injuries on his body were serious, but now he moved inside, which made him more and more uncomfortable.

Zhao Xuanyi looked at Lin Qingyu who walked out slowly, as if he didn't see the scene here, and slowly walked towards his carriage, Zhao Xuanyi saw this and knew that his carriage was not broken by an assassin.

"Qingyu, are you so angry for a woman?" Zhao Xuanyi said directly.

Lin Qingyu's footsteps stopped slightly, and looked at Zhao Xuanyi with a smile: "Where is the prince talking about, how can I be angry, I'm just angry." ”

Zhao Xuanyi saw him so bold, stared at him for a long time, and saw that he didn't care about himself at all, but laughed loudly: "You're not afraid of offending me?" ”

"I've been offended a long time ago, so why not have this more time, and the prince, you can go back tonight, I'm afraid the carriage won't be able to sit. Moreover, there have been a lot of displaced people in the capital, so you should take care of the people's feelings. After Lin Qingyu finished speaking, he got into the carriage directly, put down the curtain and didn't bother to look at him.

The cold knife on the side was so angry that he was about to pull out the knife and stepped forward, but was stopped by Zhao Xuanyi, and when Lin Qingyu's carriage left, Zhao Xuanyi said: "This person is so wise and close to the demon, if he really wants to harm me, can you stop it." ”

"Is the prince held hostage by him?" The cold knife is puzzled.

"No, it won't." Zhao Xuanyi looked at the carriage in the distance: "But at least until the matter is completed, the palace will not move him." "Lin Qingyu is not only extremely smart, but in terms of his kung fu, it is by no means simple, not to mention that even his father has to reuse him.

Chu Xi and Lu Tan returned to the Zhujin Pavilion and were stunned.

"Why did everyone fall to the ground?" Lu Tan hurriedly stepped forward to check, and only after looking at a few did he breathe a sigh of relief: "Miss, the acupuncture points have been sealed." It should be Lin Shizi"

"He may have been spotted when he came out." Chu Xi's face sank, and she walked inside, and when she arrived at the door of the room, she saw Xiao Fu'er who was staring and falling aside.

Chu Ji shook her head helplessly, but fortunately, Xiao Fu'er saw that if it was someone else, she should be killed.

Green sandalwood relieved everyone's acupuncture, but it was too cold, and everyone was frozen.

Although most people don't believe it, they can't help but don't believe it, as for Xiao Fu'er, after looking at Chu Xi, who was sitting leisurely on the side, she also understood in shock, closed her mouth and retreated.

Chu Xiwan'er, fortunately, she is a smart one.

Chu Xi took out the hairpin with blood in her sleeve, thought about it, and asked Lu Tan to take it and throw it away.

Outside the Chu Mansion, Jiao Simiao heard the movement here and quickly went back to report it.

"Zhao Xuanyi went to find Chu Bingsong, and quarreled with Lin Qingyu for a woman, interesting" Zhao Xunyan smiled faintly: "What about people, have you found it?" ”

Jiao Simiao bowed: "I know where it is, but that person is not easy to mess with." Thinking of his broken arm, Jiao Simiao's face turned dark, one day he will avenge this broken arm!

"Say." Zhao Xunyan didn't seem to have much patience.

Jiao Simiao raised his face: "Of the four daughters of the Chu family, the most poisonous is the fourth, and Chu Qitai was rescued by the people she bought the government, if I guessed correctly, Chu Qitai is now in the Chu family's temple!" ”

"Chu Daier" Zhao Xunyan remembered the inconspicuous fourth lady of the Chu family, she always followed behind Chu Zhenzhen, neither in the limelight nor outstanding.

"That's right, it's her, she seems to hate the Chu family so much, and she is plotting something." Jiao Simiao said.

Zhao Xunyan looked at him, and the corners of his mouth were hooked up evilly: "It seems that you have had contact with her, your arm"

"Please forgive me!" Zhao Xunyan knelt down before he finished speaking, Zhao Xunyan didn't care about him, anyway, this person ran out, and sooner or later he would die: "Go, find a way to rescue Chu Qitai, Chu Bingsong is still useful to me now, I can't let him be dragged by the eighth child." ”

Jiao Simiao bowed: "Yes, my subordinates will go." ”

Seeing Jiao Simiao coming in a hurry and leaving in a hurry, the secret door on one side opened, and Zhen Niang walked out of it.

"I heard that you are very cold to your side concubine."

When Zhao Xunyan heard this, his face was slightly gloomy, and he got up: "Xu Jin is just the daughter of a criminal minister."

"But she was sent by the emperor to torture you, you actually ignored it, all day in the study, the emperor has been staring at you very closely, do you plan to let him find an excuse to attack you like this?" Zhen Niang's tone was sarcastic, and she walked over and sat down lightly, her gentle eyes were now as sharp as hiding a sharp blade.

Zhao Xunyan raised his eyes to look at her: "What do you want me to do?" ”

"King Xiaoyao used to fool around with the eldest prince, but now that the eldest prince is gone, have you changed your habits?" Zhen Niang sneered: "Tomorrow I will let people send ten beauties over, I don't care if you are really not interested in women, but these women you must be lucky, preferably night after night, do you understand what I mean?" ”

Zhao Xunyan's face was cold, but he did not refuse: "I understand." ”

"It's good to understand. That girl of the Chu family, you think of a way as soon as possible, I don't care if you use it bright or dark, let her disappear in front of my eyes as soon as possible, otherwise, you don't have to dangle in front of me all day. Jane Niang threatened directly.

Zhao Xunyan held back the anger in his heart, he had already found some clues about what happened back then, although he was not sure that it was Zhen Niang's mastermind, but she definitely couldn't get out of it.

"Yes!"

Seeing that Zhao Xunyan was still so obedient, Zhen Niang got up: "I heard that the emperor asked you to investigate the matter of the dead with Zhao Xuanyi, you don't have to interfere in this matter, I will deal with it." ”

"Yes." Zhao Xunyan responded one by one, and waited until Zhenniang left, then raised his head coldly.

As soon as the next day dawned, Qin Xue saw Old Madam Chu with a dark face, as if she had not slept all night, and felt that something was not quite right in her heart.

"What is Mother looking for me?? Now I'm just a waste, I'm afraid I won't be able to help my mother. Qin Xue smiled sarcastically.

The old lady waved away the subordinates and looked at Qin Xue fixedly: "Did you save Tai'er?" ”

"Tyre was rescued?" Qin Xue's eyes widened.

Old Madam Chu snorted coldly: "Don't think that I don't know it's you, only you will save him." ”

Qin Xue laughed: "It's really God's eyes, I know that my son's life should not be extinguished." ”

"Don't pretend to be confused with me!" The old lady said coldly: "You now admit that you saved Chu Qitai, otherwise the Chu Mansion will be finished!" Although they have no conclusive evidence, the emperor is partial to Han Min, and Han Min has the support of the prince behind him. She had never encountered anything like this, so she didn't think about anything but to have someone out to blame for her guilt. Let this hat never be fastened on the head of the Chu Mansion.

"What does it matter to me when the Chu Mansion is finished?" Qin Xue is also angry now, and she knows that they will not pity herself: "When Chu Bingsong asked me to kill Yang Pei, I knew that the Chu Mansion would end sooner or later!" Qin Xue seemed to be a little crazy, she was frustrated again and again, she was hit again and again, she was about to collapse.

Old Madam Chu snorted coldly: "You said it's okay?" Zhen Zhen, don't you care, her reputation has already been broken, if you don't go out to confess, she can only be finished with the Chu Mansion, do you think she can still become a princess, don't even think about it! ”

When Chu Zhenzhen heard this outside, she rushed in directly: "Grandmother, don't, Zhen Zhen will definitely keep Chu Mansion if she becomes the princess!" ”

The old lady directly shook off her hand: "It's just a joke that you married in the past, and you still keep the Chu Mansion?" The old lady directly picked through the words: "And the death of Jiang's mother and niece Xiang'er, don't think I don't know, if I really want to investigate it, I can send you to the family temple now, do you think that if you go to the family temple, will the Xiaoyao Mansion still carry a sedan chair to marry you back?" The old lady said eagerly.

Chu Zhenzhen was stunned, and Qin Xue was also stunned: "She is the seed of your Chu family, and she is the granddaughter of your Chu family!" ”

The old lady stood up indifferently: "If it weren't for the fact that you rescued Tai'er privately, why would we be here." The old lady coldly took out a letter of resignation from her sleeve and threw it to Qin Xue: "Someone will send you back to the Dingguo Mansion in a while, if you are willing to confess your guilt, Zhen Zhen will definitely marry in style, if you are not willing to hum." The old lady said this, and hurried away again.

I didn't sleep all night last night and was thinking about how to solve this matter, but after thinking about it, only this method is the safest at the moment. Chu Bingsong is now restrained everywhere, and most of the officials who were good friends in the past defected to the prince because of the death of the prince, and now the prince is accountable, who dares to help the prime minister's mansion? So in her opinion, it is safest to find a substitute for the dead ghost.

Chu Xi listened to the whole thing in Chu Xiuxiu's mocking tone, but she was not as mocking as Chu Xiuxiu, she only felt that Qin Xue's mother and daughter deserved it. They did all the bad things for Chu Bingsong, and now they are being used by Chu Bingsong as a substitute for the dead, and they don't remember the kindness of the year, what is this retribution?

Chu Xiuxiu warmed her hands with tea and said with a smile: "Big sister, did you say that grandmother did it too neatly this time?" ”

Chu Xi glanced at her lightly, if the old lady really did it, even Chu Xiuxiu would not know about it. Old Madam Chu is indeed shrewd, but she was born in a small portal before, and she understands that she has always been just a little thing of the inner house, she has no foresight, and she can't take care of the overall situation, she only cares about the Chu Mansion, so as long as the Chu Mansion can be preserved, she will not think about it so much.

Old Madam Chu and Chu Bingsong are really mother and son, they are so cold-blooded and ruthless.

"I don't know." Chu Xi said lightly, slowly flipping through the book in her hand.

Seeing Chu Xiu like this, Chu Xiuxiu looked disdainful and put the teacup on the side: "I came here this time to talk to the eldest sister, why is the eldest sister so indifferent?" Could it be that he looks down on his sister? ”

Chu Xi put down the book and glanced at Chu Xiuxiu strangely: "What is the matter with the third sister?" ”

Chu Xiuxiu saw that she finally asked, so she coughed lightly twice and said, "That's the case, I heard that Mrs. Hou gave the eldest sister a lot of clothes and jewelry, I don't know if you can borrow me a set, and I will pay you back when I come back tomorrow." Chu Xiuxiu said with a smile.

"You're going out?" Chu Xi asked.

Chu Xiuxiu smiled: "The young ladies I knew when I went out with my fourth sister in the past have now held a flower party at home and invited me over." But she is just the daughter of a five-grade petty official, and I don't want to go, but she said that there are not many intimate sisters, so I want to go over and have a look, so I think it will save face for her. Although Chu Xiuxiu said this, the arrogance on her face was not a little bit or two, Lu Tan wanted to laugh when she looked at it, isn't it as good as a concubine who is a first-grade official but a concubine.

"Oh. That's it. Chunzhi, bring my set of jade head noodles to the third lady. Chu Ji said.

Seeing her so generous, Chu Xiuxiu immediately stood up: "Then thank you big sister, I'll give it back to you after I go there tomorrow." With that, he took the face and left.

After she left, Lu Tan said: "I really haven't seen the world, Miss Wupinjia's invitation is as if she is going to the palace to attend a banquet." ”

Chu Xi raised her hand and nodded her head: "Now that the eldest prince has just passed away, which five-grade official dares to hold a flower party here." ”

Lu Tan looked at her in astonishment: "Isn't it a flower party, she lied to us?" ”

"No, she should really want to go out to meet someone, let her be." Chu Xi said lightly, she is more interested in Qin Xue's affairs now: "Go and prepare some tea, someone will come in a while." ”

"There are still people" Lu Ya was helping to clean up her things on the side, and before she finished speaking, she saw Chu Zhenzhen crying and running in, and when she came in, she pounced on Chu Zhen: "Big sister, you must save your mother, grandmother, she forced her mother to die" Chu Zhenzhen repeated the old lady's words carefully. It doesn't matter if Chu Ji listens to it or not.

After speaking, he took Chu Xi's hand: "Let's go, you go and tell your grandmother, and then think of other bibimbaps." ”

"What does the second sister think I can do? It was a fact that my father saved my eldest brother before, but now that he is lost, there is no other way unless he finds someone. Chu Xi said lightly, looking at Chu Zhenzhen, who was begging now, as if she saw herself who had her hands and feet cut off and begged her not to kill Fu'er, the gears of fate were turning really fast.

Chu Zhenzhen was stunned, her face was ruthless: "My mother is also your mother, and she has also nurtured you for so many years, and you are my eldest sister, and filial piety comes first" Chu Zhenzhen said a lot, Chu Zhen smiled directly: "What the second sister means is that I should do my filial piety and take this responsibility for my mother, right?" ”

Chu Zhenzhen seemed to breathe a sigh of relief: "It's good that you understand." It's useless for you to live anyway."

Lu Ya was so angry that he stepped forward directly: "Our young lady's life is also her life, why let her take the blame!" ”

"That is, the second miss is a little too selfish, and our young lady is also the future princess, although she is not as noble as your princess, but Mrs. Hou is also very affectionate." Green sandalwood said directly.

Chu Zhenzhen's face was full of shame: "I need you two maids to stand out for her"

Chu Ji looked at Chu Zhenzhen and said quietly: "Now Lord Han has no conclusive evidence, and if the second sister wants to shout injustice, she should also go to the government to shout." ”

Chu Zhenzhen didn't think about it, but going to the mansion would be tantamount to betraying the Chu Mansion, and her grandmother and father would not let her go at that time: "No, I can't go." ”

A few people were dumbfounded, and just as they were talking, the mother-in-law beside Qin Xue came over: "Oh no, Second Miss, the old lady ordered someone to send the eldest lady back to the Dingguo Mansion." ”

"What should I do" Chu Zhenzhen was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and now in Chu Mansion, there was no one to protect her at all. Father didn't like her, and grandmother was also bent on Brother Hong, if Qin Xue was gone, she didn't know who to rely on: "That's right." Chu Zhenzhen turned her head to look at Chu Zhen: "Big sister, as long as you are willing to confess, I promise"

"You don't have to promise anything, what I haven't done, I won't admit it when I die." Chu Xi refused indifferently, and the atmosphere instantly cooled down.

Chu Zhenzhen gritted her teeth: "You"

"How's Ji'er? This is your mother's fault! The old lady's voice came, and Chu Zhenzhen was so frightened that she hurriedly turned around: "Grandmother, I"

"Hmph, if it weren't for your mother's insistence on protecting your eldest brother who did something wrong, how could things have gotten to such a point?" The old lady walked in, looked at Chu Zhenzhen, and looked at Chu Zhenzhen, she really felt that she had hurt her granddaughter wrongly: "Zhenzhen, if you are willing to persuade your mother, you will marry when the time comes." Grandmother will add you another sixty-four dowry, so that you can become a princess in style, but if you are still playing other bad ideas, don't blame grandmother for being unkind! ”

Chu Zhenzhen's eyes were complicated: "Grandmother, but mother"

"Don't worry, your mother won't lose her life if she confesses, after all, she loves her son, and they can't find any definite evidence. But your mother has to bear the responsibility of the exiled prisoners before," said the old lady.

Chu Xi stood on one side, his expression indifferent.

Chu Zhenzhen bit her lip, glanced at Chu Xi, and then looked at the old lady: "Is it true that my mother won't die?" ”

"Of course not, she is now sick like this, she is half dead, and the emperor will not pursue it further." The old lady swore an oath, and when Chu Zhenzhen heard it, she reluctantly nodded: "The sixty-four dowry that grandmother said"

"As soon as your mother confesses, I will send the dowry to your courtyard at once." Old Madam Chu said.

Chu Zhenzhen listened, and then saluted and left.

Chu Xi only thought lightly, now that Old Madam Chu had taken a leave of absence from Qin Xue in a panic and forced her to confess, it was tantamount to asking for her own death. But after all, the old lady is old, and she only thinks about maintaining Chu Bingsong and Chu Mansion, and it is normal to not expect it, even if she thinks of the consequences, she is afraid that she will resolutely do it.

"Hi-er."

Seeing that Chu Xi was distracted, the old lady hurriedly said, "Do you think your grandmother is too ruthless?" ”

Chu Ji looked at her fake appearance, and said: "Grandmother has her own considerations, and her grandmother doesn't understand things outside the house, so she doesn't judge favorably." ”

Old Madam Chu listened to her answer, and smiled coldly: "During this time, grandmother feels that her body is inconvenient, and the Chu Mansion has been full of disasters, so you can go to Changle Nunnery with me tomorrow to pray for blessings." ”

Chu Xi's eyes flashed slightly: "Yes." "I don't know what she's going to do, but as soon as she makes a move, she'll cut off her hand!

Old Madam Chu agreed when she saw her so happily, but she held back the words she had prepared: "Okay, then you can rest well today, and we will leave early tomorrow morning." ”

"Yes." Chu Xi responded, and when the old lady left, she said, "Green sandalwood, go and prepare the carriage." ”

"Where's Miss?"

"Yang Mansion."

She remembered that there was an incident before the accident of the homeless people in the previous life, that is, the slaughter of the nunnery in Changle Nunnery, all the people in the nunnery were slaughtered, and it was found out that it was done by the displaced people who poured into the capital, and later the mountain bandit vaguely pointed to the eighth prince. She wasn't sure if the incident of Tu'an would happen tomorrow, but Old Madam Chu would definitely make other moves, and Yang Fu would be able to fight for credit in front of Zhao Xuanyi at this time, and she could suppress the old lady fiercely.

Chu Xi thought about it, so she took the carriage directly to Yang's mansion.

Han Min was sending people around to find Chu Qitai, and there was a woman beating drums and shouting grievances in front of the mansion, this woman looked to be around forty years old, and although she was wearing an old dress, she looked very neat.

The woman was brought into the hall and looked a little dazed.

"What grievances do you have against the woman in the hall?" Han Min asked.

The woman raised her head in despair and looked at Han Min, and suddenly shouted: "You negative man, you asked for my body at the beginning, and it has been decades since you left, and now that I have found you, you still think you don't know me, you negative bastard!" The woman's crying was so terrible that even Han Min was stunned, but he really hadn't done such a thing, and immediately denied it: "Above the court, what nonsense are you talking about!" ”

"I didn't talk nonsense, you stained my innocence, let me be kicked out of the house by my father, and you didn't recognize our daughter, and now you don't recognize me, you Chen Shimei, a negative man!" The woman scolded bitterly, and the onlookers began to point fingers.

Han Min was angry: "Do you know what kind of crime it is to spread rumors about the imperial court!" ”

"What sin? Is it bigger than your two sins of cruelly abandoning our mother? Han Min. I know you dislike me for being old and not good-looking, so why did you kidnap me in the first place! The woman's words were like knives that made Han Min unable to refute: "You, you and I don't even know your name, although I have served as an official in various places over the years, I have never done such a dirty thing!" ”

The woman burst into tears even more: "I knew you didn't recognize you when you got drunk that night, I just came here to let you take care of the child, and I won't live long anyway"

"What do you mean?" Han Min asked in a deep voice.

The woman didn't say more, and Han Min slammed her head a few times and left, Han Min was also inexplicable, wanting people to catch her, but looking at the people watching from the outside of the street, she had to say: "Come on, go and find out, who is she, what is going on!" ”

"Yes."

After Han Min explained the matter here, he didn't have the heart to go to investigate Chu Qitai's matter in person, so he sent someone out to look for it, thinking about it himself. It's to find Zhao Xuanyi.

Chu Xi's end, the carriage had just arrived at the Yang Mansion, and he quickly saw a Yahuan coming out, and the Yahuan looked at the two women with a veil hat in front of her, frowned, and said in an arrogant tone: "Who are you, what's the matter with coming to the Yang Mansion?" ”

Chu Xi looked at the girl: "Are you serving by Yang Ying's side?" ”

The girl was stunned for a moment; "You know me?"

"I don't know, go to your young general, I have something to look for him." Chu Xi said lightly.

When the girl heard that she was looking for Yang Ci, her chest became higher and higher: "My young general is practicing martial arts now, if you want to see him, just wait here, and when my young general has finished practicing, I will come to you again." ”

"I'm afraid you won't call me tomorrow." Chu Xi smiled faintly, and when the girl saw that she was exposed, she looked at her embarrassedly, and snorted lightly: "I know that I don't want to go back, I have to hook up with my young general."

"Oops"

Before she could finish speaking, Green Sandalwood stepped forward and grabbed her arm. A kick kicked her leg away, causing her to fall to the ground.

Seeing that the guards at the door moved, they immediately surrounded them, and Lu Tan also drew out the soft sword that Lin Fu gave her at her waist without showing weakness: "My girl has something important to look for your young general!" ”

"You all did it first, and you dare to say that there is something important? I think you're here to stir things up! A voice came from inside the room, and then a girl in a long autumn dress walked out quickly.

When Lu Tan saw her full of hostility, she pouted, a good boy like Yang Ci wanted to marry such a tigress, and I was afraid that there would be no good life in the future.

Yang Ying looked at the person in front of her without the slightest kindness: "What do you want to do?" ”

Chu Xi looked at him calmly: "I want to see Yang Ci." ”

"Hmph, the young general of the Yang Mansion is what you say you will see?" Yang Ying sneered.

Chu Xi saw that she was actually so precautionary, and couldn't help frowning: "If you don't let you see it, it's fine." "If you can't break in, you can only go quietly.

She didn't intend to provoke Yang Ying, but before she turned around, Yang Ci heard the movement and rushed over, and when she saw her predecessor, she just looked at her appearance. You know who she is.

"Inside, please!" Yang Ci couldn't hide his excitement.

Yang Ying's eyes were red, and she stepped forward and grabbed his arm after speaking: "Brother Ci, who is she, why do you have to see her!" She just beat my maid ring, and she has to use force in front of the Yang Mansion! ”

"You're enough!" Yang Ci shook off her hand: "Unreasonable all day long, what do you want to do?" Yang Ci said dissatisfied.

Yang Ying's eyes were full of tears: "Brother Qi, how can you murder me for an outsider, do you want to marry her?" Okay, you marry her, and if you marry her, I'll burn you with a fire! After Yang Ying finished speaking, she ran back angrily.

Yang Ci's face was pale, but he didn't know what to say, so he had to look at Chu Xi: "Please come inside." ”

"No need, if Major General Yang Ci doesn't dislike it, just say a few words outside." When Chu Xi saw this battle, she naturally didn't plan to go in, saving Yang Ying from misunderstanding even more, and tossing out some moths.

Yang Ci naturally knew what Chu Xi was thinking. With an embarrassed face, he walked down and let the guards at the door in.

"Sister Ji'er" Yang Ci walked over.

Chu Xi walked to the side of the road before stopping: "I came this time to ask you to do me a favor." ”

"What's the busy?" Yang Ci hurriedly asked.

Chu Xi looked at him, whispered to him, saw him surprised, and said, "What do you want to ask?" ”

Yang Ci said: "You mean, someone will kill the teachers and wives of Changle Nunnery in the name of the exiles?" But what does this matter have to do with Changle Nunnery? ”

"It doesn't matter."

"Then why" Yang Ci didn't understand even more, but Chu Xi said: "Because although Changle Nunnery is not as famous as Hanshan Temple, the nobles in the palace like to go to Changle Nunnery the most, and at this time there is a noble person living in the nunnery, she is just frightened, and the emperor will not easily let go of the master behind the scenes." ”

"Who is that nobleman?" Yang Ci said, I haven't heard of any lady out of the palace.

Chu Xiwan'er: "You don't need to know this, but this matter will definitely be counted on the prince's head." "Now that Zhao Xuanyi is investigating the matter of the dead soldier, Zhen Niang and Zhao Xunyan will definitely find a way to divert their attention, and it is best to oppose the army. However, in his previous life, Zhao Xunyan made a move on Changle Nunnery. The reason is just to drag Zhao Xuanyi into the water, and this time, they will definitely arrange it more carefully.

Yang Ci looked at Chu Xi, and her dark eyes could be seen through the curtains. Yang Ci only felt a warmth in his heart, remembering her guidance when she was in Yunfu, her face was slightly red, and she lowered her eyes: "Okay, I will definitely pass on time tomorrow." ”

Chu Ji bowed her head, saw that it was arranged here, looked at the time, and planned to go to the front of the mansion to have a look, but before she got into the carriage, she said Yang Ci again: "I will marry Yang Ying soon, and at that time, I hope that my wife can come." Yang Ci lowered his eyebrows, he didn't want to marry another woman in front of her, but he wanted her to be at the wedding, like this. He can also comfort himself that he has his wedding and that he has the person he likes by his side.

Chu Xi didn't know that he had thought so much, but in the final analysis, there was also part of her reason for this marriage: "I will come over." With that, he got into the carriage and left.

Yang Ci watched the carriage drift away, the loss in his heart became more and more, he turned his head to look at the serious gate of the Yang Mansion, endured all the emotions in his heart, and walked in.

When Chu Xi arrived in front of the mansion, she only heard a group of people talking about something, as if it was related to Han Min, but she remembered that Han Min in her previous life did not have anything serious, didn't Zhang Yushi live to say goodbye to his hometown in his previous life, and he was still poisoned by gangsters in this life.

Chu Xi frowned slightly, got out of the carriage, and found a nearby teahouse to sit down.

Xiao Er came over attentively: "What are you two eating?" ”

Green Sandalwood put the usual money on the table: "Bring some white water and pastries." ”

"Okay." Xiao Er hurriedly collected the money and was about to leave, but was grabbed by Lu Tan's wrist: "Little Second Brother." What are you talking about, big guy? ”

Xiao Er smiled, and said again the story of the woman shouting 'Chen Shimei in the world' in the mansion before, and then left.

"Lord Han ruined people's innocence? And a teenager who doesn't know it? Is the woman in her forties? "Lu Tan has a series of question marks, she has been in contact with Han Min a lot, this is a real hard bone, it is common to see Chu Xi or a beautiful young lady, I have never seen anything else in his eyes, how could such a person do such a thing.

Even Lu Tan didn't believe it, and Chu Ji naturally didn't believe it either.

"Let's go, go to the Ruyi Fang, and let the Ruyi Fang make someone check the woman's condition." Chu Xi got up, Lu Tan also hurriedly left, and the little second brother muttered that these two guests were really generous.

Chu Xi and the two went to Ruyi Fang through the side door, Mei Niang led the two to the second floor to sit down, and served tea, and then took out the news of Steward Zhu, who Chu asked to check before: "The place where Steward Zhu used to be located was called Youxian, which is a small border county town close to southern Xinjiang, and the parents at home did die early, and it was indeed the Prime Minister's Mansion that traveled many places to arrive, but the only difference is that when he came from the last head of household, Steward Zhu had already changed his appearance. ”

"It's equivalent to saying that this Steward Zhu is fake." Green sandalwood was busy.

Mei Niang bowed: "It can be said that the real information of this person cannot be found, but there is one point, he buys things from a remote house in the capital every year, and every time he carries a big box." ”

"Have you checked that family?" Chu Ji said.

Mei Niang bowed: "It's just a very ordinary farmer, we didn't dare to startle the snake, so we didn't go over to ask, I only heard that this family also moved here twelve years ago." ”

Chu Xi bowed slightly: "It's right not to startle the snake, the people behind Steward Zhu are not as simple as we imagined." ”

Mei Niang bowed her head: "There is also the matter of King Xiaoyao's biological mother back then, our people are guiding, but we don't dare to progress too fast, for fear of being discovered." ”

"How far has it been now?"

"Zhao Xunyan has now realized that Zhen Niang was involved in the matter of that year, but he doesn't know what role Zhen Niang played in that matter back then." Mei Niang said, Fu looked up at Chu Xi again, although she was young, she talked to her as if she was talking to Lin Qingyu, but she was less alienated than Lin Qingyu, and more just indifferent.

Chu Xi didn't notice Mei Niang's different color, thought about it, and said, "You take back the people who were placed next to King Xiaoyao first, and don't guide Zhen Niang's matter anymore." Zhao Xunyan seems to be forbearant and tepid, but he actually has amazing insight, and a person like him who has the stamina to endure is not easy to deal with once he is ruthless. ”

Mei Niang looked at Chu Xi, and the appreciation in her heart became more and more: "I understand, I also have this intention." ”

"Hmm." Chu Ji bowed her head and stopped mentioning this matter: "Do you know what happened in front of the government today?" ”

Mei Niang bowed: "I heard some news, I think you may need to know, young lady, so I asked someone to check, but the news hasn't arrived so soon." ”

"Hmm." Chu Ji bowed her head, seeing that it was getting late, she didn't stay longer: "If you have news, you must tell me as soon as possible." ”

"Don't worry."

After receiving Mei Niang's affirmative answer, Chu Xi's heart was a little relieved, and she rushed back before dark.

As soon as I returned to the house, I saw that Chunzhi looked a little strange, and he was waiting at the door early, and when he saw Chu Ji returning, he hurriedly came over and said, "Miss, the master is waiting for you." ”

"How long have you been waiting?" Chu Xi asked as she walked inside.

Chunzhi told the situation one by one: "You came not long after you left, the slave said that you went out to see Miss Yun, and the master has been waiting, and the slave and maid dared to come out to find you by looking for the old lady." ”

Chu Xi couldn't guess what Chu Bingsong was doing now, but it was definitely nothing good.

Sure enough, when I entered the house, I could feel the serious atmosphere in the room.

Xiao Fu'er, Aunt Fu and Lu Ya all knelt down, and no one in the room dared to breathe.

"Coming back?" Chu Bingsong's tone was cold, and before Chu Xi's feet stepped into the room, he said in a deep voice.

Chu Xi stepped forward to salute: "I don't know what my father is looking for me?" ”

Chu Bingsong raised his eyes to look at her. Seeing that she was not afraid at all, she only snorted coldly: "Let me ask you, what happened when the prince looked for you last night?" ”

Chu Xiwan'er turned out to want to climb the relationship with the prince.

"I only asked about my marriage to Lin Shizi, and I didn't say anything else." Chu Xi said lightly.

"Full of nonsense!" Chu Bingsong slapped the coffee table suddenly, and the people around him were startled, but Chu Xi looked at him lightly: "What does my father want me to say, it's better to tell me now, so as not to disagree with my father and annoy my father." ”

Chu Bingsong took a deep breath: "Let me ask you, did the prince ask you about Chu Qitai?" ”

"Never."

"Really?"

Chu Xiwan'er: "I have a daughter's family, and I don't know about the court, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just wants to ask, and it shouldn't be to ask me, you should think about it, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already asked his mother, after all, he heard that Dingguo Gong has a very good relationship with the prince." Now my mother has been sent to the Dingguo Mansion again."

Chu Ji watched Chu Bingsong's expression darken little by little, and blinked: "By the way, grandmother seems to be threatening her mother to admit that she made a mistake, and the whole Chu Mansion seems to know about it." ”

Chu Bing's palms tightened, and he stared at Chu Xi fiercely: "When I came, I heard the maids in your yard talking. ”

Chu Xi suddenly realized, it turned out that he thought that he had spread the matter, and this old prime minister really went back more and more.

"Back to my father, the second sister said this in person, and the second sister also begged me to take the blame for my mother, and my grandmother also said it here, but the girls like to discuss it in private, and I will punish them for this matter." Chu Ji said.

The more Chu Bingsong listened, the more he didn't feel good, and he got up directly: "You are getting smarter and smarter, I underestimated you before." ”

Chu Bingsong's tone seemed to be an enemy, and Chu Xi's gaze became more and more indifferent: "Thank you father for complimenting." ”

"Hmph." Chu Bingsong snorted coldly and walked directly towards Ronghua Courtyard.

After listening to Chu Bingsong, the old lady also thought about it all afternoon. calmed down a lot: "I was really too anxious this time, and when the prince came to the door in person yesterday, I panicked all of a sudden." The old lady sighed, and then raised her eyes to look at Chu Bingsong: "Song'er, what do you say is good now?" ”

Chu Bingsong sighed heavily: "I will instruct people, and not a word is allowed to be revealed, but Qin Xue, I am afraid that I will have to take it back quickly, if Dingguo Gong asks something, we will be miserable." ”

"But I've taken a break from the book"

"It's okay, the matter of the resignation hasn't been spread yet, don't worry, anyway, Qin Xue is also a cripple now, it's okay." Chu Bingsong said.

Old Madam Chu bowed her head, thought about it, and said, "Now there is one last way left." ”

"What's the solution?" Chu Bingsong said eagerly.

The old lady exhaled a long breath: "The prince must be interested in Chu Xi, we might as well give Chu Xi to the prince as a concubine."

"For the crown prince as a concubine? But Chu Xi has been given the marriage by the emperor to Lin Qingyu, the prince of the Marquis of Anping, and the emperor can't cancel the marriage so easily."

Chu Bingsong didn't finish speaking. The folds in the corners of the old lady's eyes moved, and she said fiercely: "What if Chu Ji ruins her innocence?" Will the emperor let her marry Lin Shizi, who is now quite important? ”

"What do you mean?"

"Tomorrow she will go with me to Changle Nunnery, and when she has an accident, we can say that it is a disaster from heaven, after all, she has been accused of being a bad star since she was a child, and she has killed her biological mother, and now she has only come back from the nunnery, and the house is restless" The more the old lady said, the more ruthless her face became.

Chu Bingsong was still a little worried: "But the prince of the Lin family seems to protect her very tightly, and even the prince was calculated by Lin Shizi last night." ”

"Don't worry, since he wants to marry Chu Xi, he won't dare to move my grandmother." Old Madam Chu laughed: "At that time, we will push the boat down the river and give her to the prince as a concubine, and if you take the prince's boat, our Chu Mansion will not be afraid of anything." ”

Chu Bingsong hurriedly stood up and saluted her: "Thank you, mother." ”

The old lady laughed: "What is this for, my son, my mother is for you." I am willing to die, as long as you keep our Chu Mansion, so that after my mother dies, I can go to the ancestors and kowtow in front of my ancestors. ”

Chu Bingsong also laughed, but he didn't know that their small net had already been trapped by someone's big net.

Chu Xi looked at Lu Tan: "I just ordered you, have you remembered everything?" ”

"Don't worry, the big guys outside the Chu Mansion are waiting to hear about this little thing, besides, the eldest lady was sent out of the mansion today, but many people saw it. The old man divorced his wife at such a time, and the old lady forced her to admit to the trumped-up charges, and as soon as the word spread, it was enough for them to suffer. Green Sandalwood began to get excited again.

Chu Xiwaner: "Go ahead, be careful." ”

"Don't worry." Lu Tan said that, and quickly disappeared into the Chu Mansion.

Green Sprout followed to the side: "Miss, are you really going to go up the mountain with the old lady tomorrow?" ”

Chu Xi chuckled: "Why don't you go, this is a good show, but the old lady started it herself." "Tomorrow, she will tell the old lady what it means to reap the consequences!
