Su Tang'an returned to Xiaoxiang Garden, and the subordinates of Xiaoxiang Yuan all came to ask for peace. Su Cheng'an accepted their kindness and asked them all to retreat, leaving Qing'er alone.

"Look at you, your eyes are swollen. Su Tang'an took Qing'er's hand and sat down, "Sit down, isn't it good for me, why do you still cry like this?"

"The slave is happy. Qing'er finally stopped her tears, "Happy for Miss, and happy for Uncle." Miss didn't know that during the days when Miss was away, my uncle was like crazy. Now that the young lady is back safely, my uncle can rest assured. ”

"During my absence, what can happen to the Huainan Palace?" asked Su Ju'an.

"Even my uncle was very depressed, but nothing else happened. Qing'er thought for a while and said, "But many people think that Miss will definitely not be able to come back......"

"When there is no news, it is normal to feel that I can't come back. Su Cheng'an said, "Okay, let's go out, it's time for lunch." ”

Su Tang'an touched Qing'er's arm, she took a breath and shrank her eyes.

"What's going on?" Su Juan pulled up Qing'er's sleeve and asked coldly, only to see that Qing'er's arms were full of bruises, "Say, who did it?"

Qing'er put down her clothes, lowered her eyes and said, "It's the young lady......"

"Sister-in-law?" Su Tang'an frowned, "Why did she treat you like this?"

"Everyone thinks that you can't come back, Miss, and my uncle is the most likely person to be the son of the world, so the young lady is naturally unwilling. When my uncle was there, she was fine, but after my uncle left, she poured her anger on the slave maid. Qing'er said, "But Miss, the slave maid is just a skin injury, and it is not in the way, but don't do something for the slave maid." The slave is really fine. ”

"I have my own sense of proportion in this matter, you don't have to worry about it. Su Tang'an said, "Can you take the medicine?

"It doesn't hurt anymore, it doesn't hurt at all. Qing'er hurriedly said, "It's already been dealt with." ”

Su Tang'an's eyes sank for a moment, and he said, "Let's go, go out to eat." ”

In the restaurant, Bai Rui had already prepared the meal, because Gu Tingyao had official business and couldn't come back to eat, but everyone else in Huainan Palace's mansion was there.

"Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and our family is finally reunited. Jiang Yi picked up the wine glass and said happily, "Let's have a drink together to celebrate the safe return of Tangerine!"

Everyone had a drink together, and then Jiang Yi livened up the atmosphere, everyone talked and laughed, mainly to ask about Su Tang'an's affairs in Yuguo, and this meal was very harmonious.

However, there are always people who destroy this harmony, Bai Rui smiled slightly: "I don't know what kind of friendship the third brother and sister have with the Emperor Yuguo, and they can actually let him bring you back to the palace and let people heal you? ”

"We've seen it before. Su Tang'an said, "When he came to Da Zhou as an envoy of Yuguo, we met, and he recognized me early in the morning. ”

"Since I recognized you, why didn't I send someone to inform Tingjun, or did my grandfather find out that you didn't remember that you were in Yuguo. Bai Rui said again, "In the days when Tangerine An is away, Tingjun's state is not good, and I, the sister-in-law, feel distressed when I look at it." If he had known that you were still alive, he wouldn't have been so sad. ”

"Sister-in-law wants to know the reason, but I'm afraid I have to ask Dugu Qiyun what he thinks. Su Tang'an said lightly.

"It's not that I'm too careful, I've also heard some things, when Tang An was in the Yuguo Palace, the Yuguo Emperor went back to your place of residence almost every day, right?" Bai Rui said, "Then does the Yuguo Emperor really just regard you as a friend?"

"Sister-in-law, do you think there is something between me and Dugu Qiyun?" Su Juan put down the chopsticks, glanced at Bai Rui and asked lightly.

"I don't mean that. Bai Rui smiled faintly, "It's just that I have some doubts in my heart." It's not just me who gets up, I think everyone has this doubt, if you don't make it clear, there will be some rumors, and it's nothing to say it clearly. ”

"First, how did you know about my affairs in Yuguo, sister-in-law?" Su Cheng'an asked, "Second, sister-in-law's suspicions are groundless. ”

"Don't be angry, I'm just talking casually. Bai Rui smiled.

"I also want to know where my sister-in-law knew about Tachibana in Yuguo. Gu Tingjun poured himself a glass of wine and said with a cold face, "I'm afraid that even my father doesn't know about these things, but my sister-in-law's news is better than my father." ”

Bai Rui's eyes rolled and said, "I'm just guessing." ”

"Guess?" Gu Tingjun smiled coldly, "Sister-in-law just relied on her own guess, and she said it in public? What is the occasion today? As the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, is it appropriate for the sister-in-law to make this move? You know, good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. ”

The third brother's words are too serious. Bai Rui said, "Didn't I put up this table of food today just to catch the wind and wash the dust for Tangerine? Why did it get into the mouth of the third brother, did I come and land? Today is my fastest, I shouldn't mention something that shouldn't be mentioned, I will punish myself." ”

"Now that you have opened your mouth, it is good to make the matter clear. Xia Haiyang said, "Since I first discovered Tangerine in Yuguo, let me tell you my opinion." I have lived in the Yuguo Imperial Palace for a few days, and I can attest to the fact that there is no unclear relationship between Tachibana and the Yuguo Emperor. ”

"Since my grandfather has spoken, there is naturally nothing unclear. Bai Rui smiled bitterly, originally wanted to put Su Cheng in the army, but he didn't expect that he would not be a person inside and out, "I shouldn't say much about this matter, but since this matter has been said, there is nothing left, and I don't think anyone will worry about this matter anymore." ”

"What sister-in-law wants to say is over?" Su Tang'an suddenly asked.

Bai Rui's smile stiffened and asked, "That's it." ”

"Then I want to ask my sister-in-law, why do you abuse Qing'er?" Su Ju'an stood up, stared at Bai Rui's eyes and asked coldly, "What did she do to make you unhappy, do you want to treat her like this?"

"I don't know what you're talking about. Bai Rui said with a smile.

"Do you still want to deny the scars on Qing'er's arms?" asked Su Tang'an in a cold voice.

"She is a subordinate of the Huainan Palace, if she does something wrong, don't I even have the power to punish?" Bai Rui raised her head slightly and said, "Do I still need to explain to you for doing this?"

"Then may I ask my sister-in-law, what did Qing'er do wrong to make my sister-in-law work so hard!" Su Tang'an said without giving in, "Since it is a normal exercise of power, then why does sister-in-law have to deny it? Why do you want to go back on your word?"

Today is the first reunion dinner after coming back, Su Tangan didn't want to spoil everyone's interest at this time, but since she started first, she didn't have to be patient.

"You!"

"Enough. King Huainan spoke, "Today's Mid-Autumn Festival is a day for our family to reunite, and there is no need to say anything to spoil the fun." Bai Rui has worked hard today, she has been busy since early in the morning, and Tang An has just come back, so she will finish eating first. ”

Bai Rui sat down stupidly, and Su Cheng'an didn't say anything more, anyway, he just wanted to get justice for Qing'er.

Although King Huainan spoke, the atmosphere at the moment had become very subtle, and even Jiang Yi, who had always been cheerful, didn't know how to speak.

Everyone ate a meal in a sullen voice, and after the meal, King Huainan and Xia Haiyang went to the study, and asked Su Tangan to go back to Qihou Mansion to accompany his family, after all, she had an accident, and the people in Qihou Mansion were also very worried.

In the afternoon, Su Tang'an and Gu Tingjun went to the Qihou Mansion together.

"Where do you think Bai Rui's news came from?" asked Su Tang'an.

"Queen. Gu Tingjun thought for a while and said, "When I was in Yuguo, Sun Pingying may have already made contact with the queen and told her about you in Yuguo. The relationship between the eldest brother and the East Palace was originally extraordinary, and now they want to borrow Bai Rui's hand to make it difficult for you to come back. ”

"I didn't die, presumably the queen would not be reconciled. Su Juan said, "What do you think the queen will do next?"

"I shouldn't be able to do it for the time being. Gu Tingjun said, "Your Majesty already knows your identity, if she uses any means to do it again, then she will be an enemy of Your Majesty, Your Majesty will not tolerate her again and again, even if she is unwilling at this time, she can only endure it." ”

"What about killing people with a knife?" asked Su Tang'an.

"You mean, they want to borrow the hands of my eldest brother and his wife?" Gu Tingjun asked with an eyebrow.

"It's not impossible. Su Tang'an said, "If the eldest brother and his wife do it, then this motive is to compete for the position of the prince and completely dissociate themselves from them." And it's not impossible for them to do it, with your current status, they can't move you, but they can't rule out doing it from me. If I went missing and made you almost insane, if I did die, you would be devastated. However, they can't and don't have scruples, this time your revenge on the secret door is so ferocious, if they do it, you will definitely not give up. How to weigh the pros and cons, whether they want to please the queen with me, or whether they are afraid of brotherhood and your anger, it is just in their thoughts. ”

"No matter who it is, I won't let anyone hurt you again. Gu Tingjun said, "If the eldest brother really insists on going his own way, don't blame me for ignoring brotherhood." ”
