Another day passed, Xing's mother cleaned up the things at home, went to the Protector to see Mrs. Tai, and by the way, she also took a look at Dong Nuan.

As soon as she arrived at Shou'an Hall, Mrs. Tai pulled and spoke. Before, Mrs. Tai had been struggling with whether to tell Mother Xing about Dong Nuan, but after thinking about it, she still planned to speak.

"Ruowei, something happened to Dong Nuan a few days ago."

Xing's mother nervously broke the teacup and poured water, "What's the matter?" You didn't tell me anything. Mrs. Tai beckoned Yun Xiang to come over and clean up, and then continued: "At present, Dong Nuan is fine, so I didn't say anything." ”

"You're trying to kill me, what the hell is going on?"

"Somehow, Dong Nuan fell into a dry well, stayed for almost a day, and became a little sick." Xing's mother is very anxious, she regards Dong Nuan as her granddaughter, not to mention that she wants her grandson to marry Dong Nuan.

How can a good person fall into a dry well, Xing's mother doesn't remember that there is a dry well in the house. Yun Xiang saw that the two were talking, and left with interest.

"Where is the dry well, I don't believe that Dong Nuan fell by himself, Mrs. Tai has checked." Of course, I checked, and my son told her everything.

"It's been checked, but I haven't found much."

"Mrs. Tai, tell me about it." Mrs. Tai listened to Xing's mother and then asked, took a sip of tea, and said, "Do you remember the maid who lived with Dong Nuan?" ”

Xing's mother frowned, it was the one who begged to find a doctor for Dong Nuan when Dong Nuan was hot.

"You mean, that maid can't make the winter warm."

"It's okay to say yes, it's okay to say no, it's also reasonable, she drugged Dong Nuan, and then threw Dong Nuan into the dry well." Mother Xing felt that something was wrong, and interrupted Mrs. Tai's words, "She is a maid, what does she do to harm Dong Nuan, someone must have made her do it." ”

"Yes! When asked this, the maid also admitted it, but she only knew that it was the medicine given to her by a man in black, and said that it was poison, so she deliberately asked the maid to throw Dong Nuan into the dry well. Xing's mother was even more puzzled why she had to throw it into a dry well.

"Is there anything special about dry wells?"

Mrs. Tai was entangled, and she didn't know whether to say it or not, but Mother Xing next to her could see at a glance that Mrs. Tai had something in her heart. So, he asked, "You mean!" What can't we say. ”

There was really no way to be forced, so Mrs. Tai had no choice but to tell the truth. "There is a sentence of white bones in the dry well." As soon as Mrs. Tai finished speaking, she startled Xing's mother.

"How can there be white bones, this is dead in the Guogong Mansion for many years, and no one has found out?"

"That courtyard is so remote, and the dead are not from the house, so it's reasonable not to find out." Xing's mother then asked, "Who is it?" ”

Mrs. Tai sighed and said, "Do you remember Zhao Qing?" ”

"It's her, not that she wrote a letter to go back to her parents' house. How could he die in the dry well of the Guogong Mansion? Are you sure it's her? ”

"With her jade pendant, eight achievements are yes." Mother Xing thought about this matter, but she still had to carefully confirm the identity of Bai Gu, and she couldn't draw conclusions on a piece of jade pendant. "Mrs. Tai wants to find out, it's best to find a post-mortem to confirm the identity."

Mrs. Tai waved her hand and denied: "No, this matter can't be spread, there has never been gossip about our government since its establishment, and now this incident has happened, if you let outsiders know, how do you think about the Guogong Mansion, I can't damage the interests of the Guogong Mansion because of a dead person." ”

Mrs. Tai thought so, and she didn't plan to investigate this matter, since her son told her that this matter might have something to do with her eldest daughter-in-law, she didn't plan to investigate further.

As for Zhao Qing's bones, she will also bury them well.

Xing's mother knows Mrs. Tai very well, and knows that in major matters, Mrs. Tai is an adult who considers her own interests, which is not wrong.

But knowing Mrs. Tai's thoughts, she was still a little frightened, just like back then, if Mrs. Tai married that person.

Everything may be different, maybe she can also find a wishful husband, white-headed to old, not so that the white-haired person will send the black-haired person now.

"Whatever Mrs. Tai says, it's what it is! I can't control it left or right. ”

Knowing that Xing's mother was a little angry, Mrs. Tai hurriedly explained: "I also have no choice, I know that you can't see anyone wronged, but this is Kyoto, under Your Majesty's nose, one wrong step, one wrong step, if it is because of this incident, the Guogong Mansion is harmed, then only more people will die." ”

"I know that you have your difficulties, and it's good that you didn't hide it from me. Anyway, I'll go see Dong Nuan. ”

As soon as she heard that Xing's mother was going to see Dong Nuan, Mrs. Tai hurriedly stopped, "Ruowei! Don't worry, listen to me first, the winter is in the city! ”

"Why are you there, it's not injured, it should be in your room."

Mrs. Tai was a little embarrassed, she did it on purpose. "It was Cheng'er who saved Dong Nuan, and then because it was close, I hugged it directly to Cheng'er, I didn't think that Dong Nuan was sick and it was not easy to move, so I let her live in Cheng'er, and I would talk about it later."

Sure enough, as she thought, now it seems that Mrs. Tai wants Fat Dongnuan to marry the second young master.

This is not good news.

"I'll go and have a look, I'm a little worried."

Mrs. Tai stood up and said with a smile, "I'll go with you." ”

When the two arrived at the place where Shen Yancheng lived, it happened that the red lotus root and Qiu Qiu were at the door, and when they saw Mrs. Tai and Xing's mother coming over, they hurriedly saluted attentively.

The red lotus who was about to speak, didn't expect Mrs. Tai to ask first, "Is the young master inside?" ”

"Yes! It's all in the same winter! The reason why she said this was that she wanted to see how much Mrs. Dong Nuan was favored here, and second, she didn't want the young master to live with Dong Nuan.

Mrs. Tai walked in with Xing's mother, and saw Shen Yancheng sitting not far from the brazier reading a book. Dong Nuan also sat on the bed and read a book, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Hurriedly put down the book, Shen Yancheng said, "Grandmother, Mother Xing." ”

"Alright, sit down!" Dong Nuan also saw that Mrs. Tai was coming and wanted to get out of bed, but Xing's mother saw it first and hurriedly stopped her, "Don't get out of bed, you're still sick!" ”

walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, "Dong Nuan, you are really suffering, that maid is not a good one." ”

"No, she wasn't like that before." Dong Nuan still subconsciously wanted to defend Erya. Xing's mother was very uncomfortable when she heard it, she knew that Dong Nuan was a kind child, but it was not okay to be too kind.

Xing's mother grabbed Dong Nuan's hand and said bitterly: "You don't have to worry about this matter, that maid must be dealt with, in the future, you should think more about people, don't be stupid and say everything to others." Dong Nuan was a little embarrassed, Xing's mother seemed to be right, what others asked her, it seemed that she was telling the truth.

I never thought that people who were good to themselves had ulterior motives.

Dong Nuan replied in a low voice: "Got it." ”

"Mother Xing is right, Dong Nuan, you have to remember that it's good to have someone to protect you, but you can't protect you for the rest of your life, so you can only be strong yourself in order not to be persecuted by others." This sentence spoke to Shen Yancheng's heart.

No matter what, he must protect the little girl in his life and let her grow up carefree.

Dong Nuan on the bed was thinking about this, and no one had ever said these words to her.

Master once taught her to be honest and trustworthy. That's why she treats others with sincerity, and now it seems that she doesn't know enough about life.

"Mrs. Tai, Mother Xing, Dong Nuan remembers." Mother Xing smiled and let go of Dong Nuan's hand, "Your brother is going to Qinghe Academy in the next few days, I'm afraid I won't see you, he specially asked me to tell you, let you raise yourself for nothing, wait for him to come to you to play." ”

Dong Nuan is very happy, happy from the bottom of her heart, it is naturally good for my brother to go to Qinghe Academy, but I miss my brother a little. Shen Yancheng didn't feel good in his heart, and it was even more uncomfortable to hear Xing's mother say the word "brother".

He also wants Dong Nuan to call him brother.

"Ruowei, let's go, let Dongnuan rest more." Since Mrs. Tai said it, she can't stay any longer.

"Dong Nuan, then I'll go first."

Shen Yancheng watched the two leave, and after returning to the room, he kept staring at Dong Nuan. In the end, I couldn't help but speak: "Is the brother that Xing's mother said her grandson?" ”

"yes!"

"Why do you call him brother?" Dong Nuan was a little confused, and she didn't know why Shen Yancheng asked this.

"My brother asked me to call it."

"He told you to scream, did you call it? I let you scream, but you don't scream. Hearing Shen Yancheng say this, Dong Nuan fell silent.

Knowing that he was too excited, he suppressed the resentment in his heart, lowered his voice and said to Dong Nuan: "If you call him brother, then you must also call me brother." ”

Dong Nuan called out happily, "Brother! Although I heard Dong Nuan call her brother, I was still unhappy in my heart, and after thinking about it, I realized what the reason was.

"No, you have to call Brother Cheng, you can't call Brother Cheng." Dong Nuan was completely stunned, and kept thinking in his heart, what happened to Shen Yancheng. How can it be windy and rainy?

Seeing that the little girl had been looking at herself, and she didn't want to be called "Brother Cheng", Shen Yancheng continued to speak: "Dong Nuan, if you call Brother Cheng, I will find you a better book." ”

In the end, Dong Nuan, who was tempted by the book, still whispered, "Brother Cheng." Shen Yancheng was immediately very happy, and then continued to sit next to the brazier and read.

Here, Dong Nuan remembered that Shen Yancheng was also a student of Shenghua Academy, so he wanted to ask about the situation of Shenghua Academy.

"Young Master, can you tell me about Shenghua Academy?"

"Didn't you ask you to call me Brother Cheng, if you call me Young Master, I won't tell you." Dong Nuan had no choice but to ask again: "Brother Cheng, can you tell me about Shenghua Academy?" ”

Shen Yancheng put down the book in his hand, thought for a while and then said: "The history of Shenghua Academy is relatively early, since the establishment of this dynasty, Liu established this academy, not only the children of famous families, but also the descendants of the royal family, as long as Buyi can pass the exam, he can study in Shenghua Academy." ”

"Is the exam easy?"

"Of course it's not easy, only a few people can get in!" At this time, when Dong Nuan came, his brother was worried, he had never seen his brother study in Qinghe Academy, and he didn't know if he could pass the exam.
