The Nongzhang Garden is not far from the Qingzhu Courtyard, and the two courtyards can only be entered after passing through the heavily guarded arched gate outside.

It's just that Langzhang Garden is relatively outside, and one of the doors is facing outward, and Yu Jiuqing has sent another guard to guard that door.

Before, Mu Shuangshuang was sneaking peek at her from outside that door.

However, because she was going to Qingzhuyuan this time, she was going out through another gate, and it was impossible for anyone else to come to this gate unless they passed through the Nongzhang Garden, or through the heavily guarded arched gate.

In other words, this place is not accessible to ordinary people, and those who can come in are all people that Yu Jiuqing can trust.

And in such a place, there were people following her, Shen Qing didn't think that it was sent by Yu Jiuqing, Yu Jiuqing had already sent a secret guard by her side, there was no need to send another person over.

This shows that among Yu Jiuqing's people, there are likely to be spies!

Her return has really confused some people, and they can even make such a low-level mistake.

Yu Jiuqing has brought some people into the Prime Minister's Mansion over the years?

Shen Qing's thoughts turned slightly, his steps deviated, and he walked straight out of the arched door.

Anyway, she had just eaten, so it would be better for her to walk more to eliminate her food.

She swaggered out of the arched door that symbolized the entrance to the forbidden area of the Prime Minister's Mansion, originally wanting to go back to the door facing the outside of the Rongzhang Garden, pass through the Rongzhang Garden, and return to the place where Fangcai was.

However, around the corner, he collided with a man.

Shen Qing only felt a fragrant pear blossom breath rushing towards her, although she was thinking about things and didn't look at the road, but her reaction was more sensitive than ordinary people, and she took a step back sharply when she just noticed that something was wrong.

It's just that before she could stand firmly, an angry voice sounded, "Who is so hairy!" If you collide with our aunt, watch your skin! ”

This voice is familiar.

Shen Qing raised his eyes and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

But what appeared in front of her was clearly Aunt Kang in light green clothes, and the maid who spoke just now was the maid who had quarreled with her outside the arched door before.

It's a chance encounter.

Seeing that the person who collided with their aunt was actually the arrogant maid from before, Chunxiao's eyes widened suddenly, and her brows furrowed: "Why are you again?!" Just now, our aunt was hit by you and almost fell to the ground, you don't apologize to our aunt today, don't think about leaving ......"

"Spring Dawn."

A soft and delicate voice interrupted Chunxiao's words, but saw Aunt Kang slowly step forward, glanced at Shen Qing meaninglessly, Suddenly, her figure gave Shen Qing a gentle salute, and said: "The concubine has seen Mrs., the concubine didn't know the identity of Mrs. before, and if there is rudeness, I hope Mrs. Haihan." ”

Chunxiao turned her head sharply and looked at her master in disbelief.

She had heard rumors from others that their wife was back, but she didn't believe it from the bottom of her heart, and it was impossible to think about the woman in front of them!

Is the master crazy? It's that the lady is really back, how can it be this woman!

Shen Qing looked at Aunt Kang thoughtfully, and did not embarrass her, and said with a faint smile: "I also deliberately concealed my identity before, so it's not your fault." At this time, Aunt Kang is not in her yard, how can she be here? ”

Chunxiao's body stiffened, and he didn't know what expression to put on.

The woman didn't even deny it......

Could it be that she is really their wife?!

Aunt Kang seemed to be in a trance for a moment, and said with a faint smile: "You are really our wife, and the concubine was just guessing, but I didn't expect to guess correctly." From the first time she saw Madame, she intuitively felt that Madame was not an ordinary person.

The concubine was just eating and walking after dinner, and she came here unconsciously. ”

She remembered that the courtyard where the aunts lived was far away.

What's more, the entire Prime Minister's Mansion is so big, and she just came here, which is also intriguing.

Shen Qing just smiled, "Really?" ”

Aunt Kang suddenly lowered her head slightly, and said, "The concubine is very happy when she hears that Madame has returned, and Lord Lang and Xiao Langjun must also be very happy." Madam...... Don't care about our existence, the concubine knows that Lord Lang's heart is still towards his wife. ”

Shen Qing just said lightly: "You understand Lord Lang's mind." ”

Aunt Kang's throat choked, and her face showed a little panic when I saw pity.

Compared with the dignified and atmospheric woman Shen Qing saw a few times before, he inexplicably felt a little different.

Shen Qing looked at her and continued: "What's more, I heard that Aunt Kang is from the Qi State Mansion, although I rarely dealt with the Qi State Mansion before, but I also know that the old man of the Qi State Mansion has his own arrogance, and there is no need for Aunt Kang to belittle herself like this. ”

Although the Qi Guo Mansion has fallen in the past few decades, because they have had several favorite concubines and princes before, the head of the old man of Qi Guo is still very high, at least as far as Shen Qing understands, ten years ago, the Qi Guo Mansion would never do anything to lower its value.

Whether it is to give the girl of his own family to others as a concubine, or to let the girl of his family shamelessly beg others to match him, it is not something that the Duke of Qi Guo can do back then.

Aunt Kang's delicate face seemed to have a touch of embarrassment, the corners of her mouth were reluctantly raised, and she said: "I can't imagine that Mrs. knows the concubine's grandfather so well, but the concubine is now in the Prime Minister's Mansion, born as a person in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and died as a ghost in the Prime Minister's Mansion. ”

"Is that so? But no matter where a person goes, the roots cannot be forgotten. ”

After Shen Qing said these words meaningfully, he smiled at Aunt Kang and walked straight past her.

Aunt Kang kept standing in place, looking at the back of Shen Qing leaving, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.

Chunxiao suddenly, with an annoyed face, said: "This woman obviously doesn't understand anything!" What do you think you are here! What kind of life did my aunt live in that place in Qi Guogong's mansion, does she know?! My aunt has been working hard in the Prime Minister's Mansion for so many years, and everyone in the mansion thinks that sooner or later my aunt will be corrected by Lord Lang, what is this woman doing when she suddenly comes back! ”

As she spoke, she looked at Aunt Kang, bit her lip and said, "Auntie, is that woman really a lady?" Such an arrogant and domineering woman who doesn't know how to be polite is actually the prime minister's wife? What did Lord Lang like about her! ”

Aunt Kang retracted her gaze at Shen Qing and said lightly: "Okay, Chunxiao, she is Madame, just like a fake." ”

Now that I think about it, many things have already been foreshadowed.

Because she was a lady, she was free to enter and exit the arched door.

Because she is a lady, the lord will be so tolerant of her.

Because she is a lady, she will walk around this mansion with a natural and arrogant appearance.

It turned out that it was her, the woman that person had been thinking about......

Chunxiao was not lightly stimulated, and couldn't help but say viciously: "That's it...... It's that she's really a lady, who knows where she's been in the past ten years! The woman next to her will be questioned about her chastity for a few days away from home, let alone a long ten years! Who knows if she really ran away with a wild man like what she said outside, or if she had already become her own child again outside......"

Aunt Kang turned around and left directly, "Okay, Chunxiao, let's go." ”

In any case, it seems that although she has been gone for ten years, her position in this mansion is still unshakable.

You need to think about what to do as soon as possible.

……

Because of the delay in meeting Aunt Kang, Shen Qing sped up his pace.

She originally thought that if she went earlier, she might be able to accompany Yu Jiuqing to have dinner.

She hurriedly walked to the Qingzhu Courtyard, and before she got closer, she saw a long and delicate figure carrying a lantern at the door of the Qingzhu Courtyard, standing there quietly, as if waiting for something.

The dim and warm light of the lantern shone on the man, making him seem to have a warm flame jumping on him, and the shadow on the ground was stretched long, long, as if he had been standing here for hundreds of years.
