Chapter XVI. care

Shui Rong is in the palace, although his father has no concubines, only his mother is a woman, husband and wife, the relationship is very good, but his uncle's family is a group of wives and concubines, all kinds of tricks, Shui Rong has also seen it since he was a child, many times, and it has affected him.

So as soon as she heard Zhibai's confession that her cousin had murdered for money, she immediately thought that her mother might have been murdered by her cousin.

Shui Rong thought of that clear-eyed little girl, in this huge capital, alone, without relatives, the only cousin's family, and killed her mother, how similar this was to her previous situation. In this world, the enemy who has no relatives and no reason, but can kill his parents, lives well.

After thinking for a while, Shui Rong ordered Zhibai to collect evidence of Qingwen's cousin's murder, and Shui Rong himself went to the little girl's side and watched her silently in the dark.

And tonight, Zhibai hasn't come back yet, but her little girl has already discovered the truth of things with her own wisdom. Shui Rong felt proud in her heart, her little girl was so keen and intelligent, and she also felt heartache, his little girl had experienced how many sinisters in the world to be so keen.

Listening to the little girl's sobbing below, Shui Rong only hated that he couldn't suffer this heartache for her, if he was familiar with her, at least he could take her away and comfort her at this time, Shui Rong At this time, he felt for the first time what is powerless.

Qingwen cried all night on the couch in the house, and Shui Rong listened to her cry all night on the backbone of the house outside.

Before dawn on the second day, Qingwen went out to the well to get a basin of cold water, compressed her eyes for a while, looked in the mirror, and found that it was still a little red, but it was not so swollen.

Qingwen used the rouge gouache on Baoyu's makeup table to deal with it again, but now she couldn't see anything except some red blood in her eyes.

Then he went out and took a few breaths, calmed down, and went into the house to serve Baoyu to freshen up.

Shui Rong watched her go to fetch water to put on her face, and then watched her go out and inhale, he knew that her little girl was strong and brave, so he turned over and left, he was going to do something for her.

In the palace of the king of Beijing, Shui Rong sat in the study and heard Zhibai report below. The subordinates inquired yesterday that Miss Qingwen's mother died at the hands of her cousin, because at that time, Miss Qingwen's cousin was gambling outside, borrowed from other people's loan sharks, and did not dare to tell the family, so for Miss Qingwen sold her body for the five taels of silver that year, so she did not give her mother medicine, and then Miss Qingwen's mother wanted to escape at night, and was finally beaten to death by her cousin with a rolling pin. โ€œ

"Does her cousin know how her mother died?" Water soluble asks for knowledge.

"According to the subordinates, Miss Qingwen's cousin should not know, the neighbors say that his cousin is an honest man, and her cousin was not at home a few days after her mother's death, and her cousin did not know that his wife owed usury." Zhibai said,

Shui Rong snorted coldly and said: "Such a man, it's not so much that he is honest, but that he is stupid, his wife owes usury, and he doesn't know if he kills anyone."

Then Zhibai continued: "After a visit, the subordinates also found that Miss Qingwen's cousin and aunt were still lending usury in private, and the amount of money was quite large, hundreds of taels, and her family was also quite wealthy. โ€œ

Shui Rong stood up, looked in the direction of Jiafu and said, "Check it for me, I want to see who is so bold in such a group of wrecks in the Jia family." โ€œ

"Subordinates receive orders." Zhibai took the order and left.

Shui Rong thought about her low sobbing that she heard in the room at night, and thought that her eyes were full of tears, and she felt that with bursts of heartache, such a pair of eyes, there should only be laughter and hope in them, how could they be contaminated with hatred and grief.

So unfold the rice paper, a picture of a beauty jumped on the paper, it was he who saw Qingwen next to the lotus pond, holding a lotus flower, dressed in plain clothes, like the dragon girl under the Guanyin seat, pure and beautiful, such a woman, as a daughter-in-law, the mother will definitely be satisfied. So he returned to Jiafuzhong, and he was not worried about his sister-in-law.

In Jiafuzhong, Qingwen slept soundly in the morning because she cried all night last night, but she has been having nightmares, she dreamed that when she was a child, her parents took her to the mountains to play, and the family made wild vegetable porridge with her mother in front of the house, and her parents always scooped the porridge in her bowl thicker.

Suddenly, the picture turned, it became that she watched her father fall into the river, struggling in the river, she shouted desperately, trying to let the people around her save her father, but everyone didn't seem to hear it, and then her father never saw her again, she ran back to her uncle's house, wanting to tell her mother the bad news, but this road became very long, it seemed to be a long time, and it seemed to be a blink of an eye, she returned to her cousin's house, and saw a room full of vegetarians, Qingwen seemed to know something, she was very scared, and she didn't dare to go in, but at this time her cousin hugged her in, She seemed to enter the house at once, and saw her mother's body lying in a coffin.

"Mother, don't go, woo woo ยท

Shui Rong looked at the woman who was crying in her sleep, held her hand, and comforted softly: "Okay, I'm not leaving, I'll always stay by your side, okay, you have to stay by my side all the time." โ€œ

"Uh-huh, don't go, don't go." Shui Rong saw that Qingwen agreed, although she was in a dream, but she just agreed, and the corners of Shui Rong's mouth had curled a crescent moon.

Seeing that Qingwen gradually calmed down, Shui Rong gently let go of her hand, helped her put her hand into the quilt, and stuffed a bottle of medicine and a note under her pillow, intending to go back, but seeing Qingwen sleeping peacefully, there was no cunning on her face, nor did she have a sad and fearful face just now, she fell asleep peacefully, with some ignorance and innocence on her face.

Shui Rong leaned down and kissed Qingwen's forehead, thinking about it, since he kissed her, he couldn't let her suffer, so he put his forehead to her mouth and let her kiss herself, so it was finally fair.

Shui Rong saw that Qingwen looked like she was about to wake up, so she immediately jumped out of the window, and without paying attention, she scratched her clothes on the nails in the window.

Zhimo, who was looking at the wind outside the window, looked at the stupid appearance of his master who had not been shown in the past eight hundred years, sighed, and only said that he was beautiful and misleading, just look at his own prince, and he knew that this clumsy look in front of him, where is it still like the snow night wolf king who made the Huns frightened, he is clearly a hairy boy who has just opened his love, and this time he even sent out Zhibai, a personal guard like himself, in order to avenge this girl, Zhimo sighed with his head on his back, and decided to keep this secret well, otherwise the prestige of his own prince would not be guaranteed.

"Rubbing something, don't go quickly." Shui Rong whispered.

"Yes" Zhimo replied, sure enough, as long as his master didn't involve this little girl, he would still be the wise and martial King of Beijing.

When she got up at noon, Qingwen only felt that she was tired, and the dream was like a net, netting herself in the dark, if it weren't for the end, her mother held her hand, and Qingwen felt that she might sink into it.

Lifting the quilt, Qingwen found that there were two more things next to her pillow, a note and a small porcelain bottle, Qingwen could be sure that this was not her own, because Qingwen had always disliked putting some bits and pieces on the bed.

Qingwen put down the bed curtain, picked up the bottle, opened the cork and looked, it was a light pink creamy ointment, with a faint peach blossom fragrance, Qingwen opened the note again: "In the bottle is Gyokuro peach blossom cream, after cleansing, apply it under the eyes, it can go to redness and swelling, I know about your mother, you don't have to worry, I will help you"

Qingwen didn't know who secretly put these two things in the room, if it was Si Qi, she didn't need to do it secretly, and she didn't know about her mother, so it must not be hers. So who else will help themselves? Qingwen was puzzled.

Could it be that someone is trying to frame themselves? Qingwen smiled and shook her head, not to mention that she didn't have a few enemies, even if those enemies wanted to frame herself, there was no need to take such a precious ointment.

Don't look at Qingwen as just a maid, but after following Baoyu for so many years, not to mention the rest, there is still the eyesight to distinguish the good and bad of things, this jade dew peach cream is pure in color and light in taste, it looks better than the bottle that the ancestor of Jiafu got before, and there is no such good thing in the whole Jiafu, and I heard that this jade dew peach cream is a thing for the imperial offering, there are only ten bottles in total, if it is not for the eldest lady in the palace to be a concubine, the emperor will give a special reward, or even the ancestor does not have it. Who would frame themselves with such a precious thing!

Qingwen thought that since someone wanted to help her, no matter what, it would always be good for her current situation, so after washing, she used this jade dew peach blossom cream, Qingwen cried all night last night, and in her dream in the morning, she cried for a long time, and her eyes were swollen when she just got up, but she didn't wait for Qingwen to finish combing her hair, and the redness and swelling on her eyes disappeared by half, only a little red, I don't know, I just thought she didn't sleep well last night.

Qingwen had lunch, and returned to Yihong Courtyard, and found that in the entire courtyard, Baoyu and the three big maids and a few little maids were all gone, leaving only a pendant, looking at the door of the room, Qingwen remembered this little maid, in her previous life, because she stole Baoyu's things, she was very willing to be cheap, and pricked her hand with a hosta. Later, he was kicked out, and this fallen old man didn't "help" herself to speak. And he is also Baoyu's maid, and it is his responsibility to help him guard the courtyard.

But Shen'er, the little girl, is now looking at the door again, thinking that she saw no one in the courtyard and wanted to steal something.
