After all, the matter of being poisoned at the banquet in Duanfu was not hidden from King Lao Rong, and of course King Lao Rong, who has always been the seventh grandson, was not happy, and he had to teach Duan Lin Xiu a good lesson, if he hadn't made such a banquet, his seventh grandson would not have been poisoned!

It's also a lot of things, Lao Rongwang, who had already been dismissed from the court because of old age, came out of the court again because of this matter, vowing to seek justice for his grandson, pitiful Duan Lin Xiu, who couldn't avoid the disaster, was fined by Emperor Xiliang for ten thousand taels of money and silver, not to mention, and was also punished to think about it at home, and it took a few days of decadence to come back to his senses.

In the blink of an eye, it was close to the middle of August, and the mansion was already preparing for the upcoming Midyear Festival, which also mentioned Duan Linxiu's other brother, Duan Xue.

This person is the second son of the old lady, that is, Duan Linxiu's younger brother, I heard that when he was young, he was *** suave, Wen Taowu was proficient, and he was a well-known beautiful man, but it was a pity that he lost his life at a young age.

The old lady has always ** Duan Xue, Duan Xue died, the old lady cried for several days, and almost blinded her eyes. In order to return to Bliss after the death of her son, the old lady spent a lot of money to buy a piece of land behind Jingci Temple and buried Duan Xue there.

Front office

Duan Linxiu has been in a bad mood recently, and has been staying in the study to practice calligraphy, and the old lady doesn't bother to pay attention to him for the sake of Zhongyuan's sacrifice.

"Old lady, I'm going to Zhongyuan soon, do you want your family to clean up and go to Jingci Temple to worship Brother Xue" Shui Shi wiped the tea stains on the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief, and opened his mouth dignifiedly.

The old lady twisted the Buddhist beads, chanted the words, and heard the words of the Shui family, so she slowly said, "I'll leave this matter to you, Xiu'er has been in a bad mood recently, so he stays in the house and doesn't have to go."

The old lady paused and glanced at Aunt Ning, "You have a child in your belly......"

"The concubine's body has been much better recently, and she can also ask for peace for the child in her womb on this trip, and the concubine body asks to accompany her."

Aunt Ning has become more and more rounded recently, her originally sallow complexion has eased, her stomach is slightly bulging, and she doesn't know what she stuffed, the fly in the ointment is that her eye sockets are becoming more and more sunken, Duan Rufeng can probably guess that Aunt Ning has not slept well recently.

The old lady frowned, "If you want, you can do it......"

"Old lady" Aunt Wang got up and knelt on the ground, "concubine...... The concubine wants to stay in the house...... Accompany Xiang'er ......"

Duan Xiang was punished a lot because of the poisoning of the seventh prince of Rong, I heard that he had fainted ten times from hunger, but Duan Linxiu had an order not to allow anyone to visit, and Aunt Wang could only work outside the door to feel distressed, this trip was delayed for at least half a month, how could she rest assured that Duan Xiang would stay in the mansion alone?

The old lady snorted coldly, "It's okay, you can also teach the girl well during this time, and it's better to do less stupid things in the future."

Aunt Wang sat back in her position with a dark face, and quietly glared at Duan Rubian, who returned with a bright smile.

The old lady looked at Duan Ruflaw, and said, "Recently, there has been a shortage of money and silver in the house, and I am afraid that I will have to pay more silver taels in heaven and earth......

Duan Rubian smiled lightly, "Rubian has already thought of this, and yesterday it was already handed over to the head of the treasury for this month's money, which is 100,000 taels more than before, I don't know if it is enough?"

The old lady smiled with relief, "Enough is enough, thanks to the three girls."

Duan Rubian lowered his head and smiled lightly, the handkerchief in Shui's hand gradually deformed, and Yan Mama held Shui's hands and signaled her not to be angry. Shui calmed down for a moment before speaking

"This Jingci Temple line, the three girls will see the young, you two sisters should get along well"

Duan Rubian smiled secretly in his heart, it's time to meet!

The old lady was unwell and dismissed everyone, and Duan Rubian, accompanied by Lu Fu, walked towards Duan Qingxuan's courtyard.

"Qingxuan, come and catch me~Hehe, come quickly~"

"Sister Ming'er, you slow down and run......"

As soon as Duan Rubian arrived at the gate, he heard the sound of frolicking coming from the courtyard, and his eyes instantly darkened, and Lu Fu saw that Duan Rubian's face was not good, so he wanted to rush in and scold the unreasonable maid, Duan Rubian stretched out his hand to stop Lu Fu, signaling her not to make a sound, and he stepped forward in a few steps and kicked over the potted plant at the door.

"Ah, Miss, are you okay" Lu Fu hugged Duan Rufang and shouted loudly, the courtyard immediately fell silent, Duan Rufang glanced at Lu Fu approvingly, and then walked into the courtyard.

Duan Qingxuan came to meet him, he hadn't seen him for a few days, and he seemed to have grown a lot taller, and he was almost past the maid Ming'er beside him.

Duan Rubian looked at Duan Qingxuan, feeling faintly uncomfortable in his heart, how could he feel that those eyes were not as clear as they were at the beginning, the light blue brocade robe was wrinkled, as if he did not have the appearance of a master.

Ming'er she had a relationship, at that time she was still a plainly dressed little girl, but now that she looks at it, the fat and rice on her face are getting more and more, and the silk and satin on her body are the material that the maid can't wear, and the hair shawl is a little messy, and it looks like it has just been combed.

Duan Ruying smiled, "I haven't seen Qing'er for a few days, I've grown taller"

Duan Qingxuan's face was still a little red, and his breath was still uneven, and Ming'er beside him immediately interjected, "The third lady won't say anything first, the slave will go and make you some soup to relieve the heat."

After saying that, he wanted to leave, but Duan Rubian raised his hand to stop, "No need, I'm not thirsty yet...... It's time for Miss Ming'er to rest and rest......"

Duan Rufang had something to say, how could Ming'er not hear it.

Duan Rubian didn't stay on this topic for too long, casually picked up the poetry book on the desk and flipped a few pages, and pulled out a faint smile, "Has Qing'er read a good book recently?"

Duan Qingxuan lowered his head weakly and said "um" softly.

Duan Rubian's smile did not decrease, and his hand stayed on the poem "Red Cliff", "Since you have read it, my sister will test you, how to recite this "Red Cliff"?"

"I ...... I ......" Duan Qingxuan stammered, unable to answer, Duan Rufang's originally warm smile instantly turned cold, and he gave Lu Fu a look.

Duan Qingxuan just wanted to say a few words to justify, but was frightened back by Duan Rufang's eyes, and Lu Fu half-pulled Duan Qingxuan back to the inner room, and soon only Duan Rufang and Ming'er were left outside the house.

Duan Rubian sat down at the stone table, Ming'er immediately stepped forward to pour tea, and the hot tea was put into the teacup, Duan Rubian lowered the waves in his eyes, and took it with his hand, Ming'er was startled, and just wanted to stop it, but he didn't think that the hot tea was sprinkled on the back of her white hand.

Ming'er was in pain, but she didn't dare to scream, and there were tears in her eyes but she refused to come out.

It's a beauty, Duan Rufang thought secretly.

"Do you know what you're doing wrong?" Duan Rufang opened his mouth slowly, with indescribable arrogance, and a vicious look flashed in Ming'er's eyes

"Know...... Know"

"Tell me about it"

Ming'er took a deep breath and bit her lower lip, "I didn't urge the sixth young master to study, it was a slave's mistake."

Duan Rufang looked at Ming'er condescendingly, and smiled disdainfully, "This is one thing, can you know the other?"

Ming'er shook her head, even if she knew what the second was, she would never say it, Duan Rubian knew that she would be like this, she didn't mind, reached out and grabbed Ming'er's chin, raised it slightly, looked at the pear blossom with rain face, and smiled a little cruelly, "It's a troublesome face, not at all as timid and cowardly as when she saw me that day, it seems that Qing'er treats you well......"

The strength of his subordinates increased, Ming'er twitched the corners of his mouth, and tears flowed again.

Duan Rubian sneered, and his voice was ghostly, "Don't think about being able to climb up to Qing'er's **, a woman like you...... If I find out that you are delusional again, **Qing'er ......"

Duan Rubian's smile was bigger, but it was colder, and Ming'er's scalp was numb when he heard it, "I'll scratch your face!"

Throwing away his hand, Duan Rubian did not ignore the monstrous hatred in Ming'er's eyes, his voice was dull, and his eyes were dark, "Get out!"

Ming'er got up, crying and retreated, Duan Qingxuan and Lu Fu rushed out of the room, Duan Qingxuan was unwilling, but still didn't say a word, Duan Rubian raised a big smile and patted Duan Qingxuan's shoulder, "Sister will come back in the future, next time I ...... "Red Cliff" will be able to memorize"

After finishing speaking, she strode out, and at the last moment she went out, she quietly turned around, and just saw the fierceness in Duan Qingxuan's eyes, and her heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

On the way back to the hospital

"Don't let the fifth person know about this"

Duan Rubian spoke softly

"Yes," Midori replied respectfully

The lake is slight, and the stones enter the water, and there are ripples again......
