Duan Shaoqing sat slumped in his chair and was speechless for a long time.

Xiaolian bowed her head slightly, looking well-behaved.

After a long time, Duan Shaoqing exhaled a breath of turbidity, but his voice couldn't be controlled: "Let me ask you, why did Kou Qingqing do this?" ”

"The maid doesn't know."

"Don't know?" Duan Shaoqing was so angry that his heart ached, "I don't know if you're messing around with her?" ”

This is not just nonsense, it is clear that it is to die, or to drag the Shaoqing Mansion to die together!

Xiaolian bit her lip and looked innocent: "The maid is just a little maid, and she can't control the girl." ”

Duan Shaoqing was stunned.

That dead girl is lawless, and it is indeed not something that a little girl can stop.

"What will Kou Qingqing do next?"

"The girl said that she would come back after a long experience, and no one would find her out as soon as the men's clothes were taken off, please rest assured, the eldest man——"

"My fart heart!" Duan Shaoqing was furious.

Xiaolian persuaded very steadily: "Master, you should be quiet, what if people hear that you are going to tell the truth for meritorious service and fortune?" ”

Duan Shaoqing: "......"

should have poisoned that dead girl with a bowl of medicine, why is he so stupid!

After a long while, Duan Shaoqing gritted his teeth and asked, "Do the others in Wanqingju know?" ”

"Then I naturally know, how can such a big girl hide it if she is not in the house."

Duan Shaoqing covered his chest angrily.

This is so righteous!

"Tell them all to come in!"

"Yes." Xiaolian responded crisply, turned around and went out to call someone.

Fortunately, there are not many people, except for Xiaolian, there is a Wang mother and a Li Mama, plus a little maid brought back from outside.

"If you three can't keep your mouth shut, don't blame me for pulling out your tongue." Duan Shaoqing said fiercely.

Mama Li knelt on the ground and swore neatly: "If the old slave talks nonsense, the sky will thunder and the children will be cut off!" ”

Wang's mother also swore a poisonous oath.

The little maid followed and raised her hand: "If the maid talks nonsense, she won't be able to marry for the rest of her life!" ”

Duan Shaoqing frowned: "You don't count." ”

Can't get married? It's not normal to follow that dead girl, what if you think it's a good thing not to get married?

The little maid had no choice but to swear a poisonous oath of disfigurement, and Duan Shaoqing was satisfied.

When the three of them went out, Duan Shaoqing stared at Xiaolian and sneered: "Even if Kou Qingqing doesn't care about Shaoqing's Mansion, isn't she afraid of death?" Crazy to do this kind of thing that is full of people who lose their heads and destroy all the doors! ”

"The girl said, as long as the eldest master helps her cover up that the person is not in the Shaoqing Mansion, it will be fine."

"What if? What if! Duan Shaoqing wanted to go crazy again.

When Guchangbo's Mansion was unlucky, he was so worried that he couldn't sleep well all night, lest the emperor's decree come down to Shaoqing's Mansion and be sat down.

This finally breathed a sigh of relief, but it turned out to be even more fatal.

Xiaolian blinked: "The girl didn't say what if there was a case." ”

When Duan Shaoqing left Wanqingju, the whole person was floating.

"Father, you don't look very good, is there something wrong with you?"

Duan Shaoqing met Duan Yunchen, who had just returned home, on the way.

Originally, the triennial examination and the palace examination were rare events, and they were all in the spotlight, but it didn't take long for Gu Changbo to have an accident, so that the announcement of the apricot list was much less lively. The palace test was delayed again and again, and it was delayed until May, and the process was completed coldly due to the lack of interest in the emperor.

Duan Yunchen is now observing politics in the household department, which can be regarded as officially stepping into the official career.

"Nope." Duan Shaoqing quickly denied it, glanced at his upright son, and swallowed the reminder to his lips silently.

Chen'er hasn't heard anything outside the window for many years, and her thoughts and things need to be tempered, which reminds her that maybe it's bad.

"It's just that I'm busy with official business, and I'm a little tired. Can you still adapt to it in the household department? ”

Duan Shaoqing barely coped with his son and went back to the courtyard.

The main thing tomorrow is to take a look at the dead girl and see how she dresses as a man.

You can't see it at a glance, right?

Duan Shaoqing thought about it like this, and was so anxious that he couldn't even eat dinner.

At this time, Xin Yu was a guest in the Eldest Princess's Mansion.

The weather was hot, but the flower hall used to entertain guests in the Eldest Princess's Mansion was comfortable and pleasant, and ice basins were placed in several corners of the Guy Hall.

"This is your cousin Kong Rui." The eldest princess of Zhaoyang personally made an introduction.

"I've seen my cousin."

Kong Rui returned the gift.

"This is your cousin Kongfu."

Although Kong Fu is young, he is polite, and he called out to his cousin sweetly.

"Sit down." The eldest princess of Zhaoyang looked at Xin Yu with a gentle gaze, "Don't be restrained, this will be your home in the future." ”

"Thank you, auntie." Compared with the enthusiasm of the eldest princess of Zhaoyang, Xin Yu is much more polite.

Being polite means being distancing.

Xin Yu didn't want to take advantage of the eldest princess of Zhaoyang's sincerity to Xin Gongzi's love for the house and Wu.

On the contrary, the eldest princess of Zhaoyang felt that her sister-in-law's children should be like this, not flattering to the superiors, and not slacking off to the subordinates.

This dinner did not last long, and when it was over, at the signal of the eldest princess of Zhaoyang, a maidservant girl presented a small box, which contained a thousand taels of silver tickets.

"If you think I am your aunt, don't shirk it. Keep it, there will be more places to spend money in the future. ”

Xin Yu thanked him and accepted the silver ticket.

"Rui'er, you send Xinmu to your mother."

"Yes."

Kong Rui has been sending Xin Yu outside the mansion, and the carriage of the eldest princess's mansion is quietly parked there and waiting.

"Master Hou, let's stay." Xin Yu stopped and said politely.

Kong Rui raised his eyebrows.

I was a cousin just now, and now I'm a Hou Ye.

"You should call your cousin." Kong Rui is colored.

Xin Yu: "......" I didn't expect Jing'anhou to be such a serious person.

Fortunately, she is not serious.

"Cousin stay." The pomelo changed its mouth.

Kong Rui arched his hand: "Cousin, walk slowly." ”

Xin Yu walked to the carriage, and a voice sounded: "Is it Xin Zhizhao?" ”

Xinyu stopped and turned around.

Kong Rui, who watched Xin Yu get into the car, also looked over.

The eldest prince Xiuwang walked over.

"I've seen His Royal Highness King Xiu." Kong Rui saluted first.

King Xiu hurriedly said: "Cousin doesn't have to be polite. ”

Xin Yu bowed his hand: "Weichen has seen His Royal Highness King Xiu." ”

King Xiu looked at Xin Yu carefully and said with a smile: "Xiao Wang just heard about Xin Zhizhao, and originally wanted to invite Xin Zhizhao to have a cup of tea, but when he saw Xin Zhizhao coming to his aunt, he didn't bother......

"His Royal Highness King Xiu has tormented the ministers." Xin Yu thanked him in a proper manner.

When she was still a "Kou girl", she had several contacts with King Xiu, and she had the impression that she was gentle and polite, and treated others with humility.

Now that she is the adopted son of the queen recognized by the emperor, many people suspect that the queen is the parent, and King Xiu's attitude is better, and he expressed his closeness so quickly.

Now that King Qing has fallen, the following princes are still young, and King Xiu is undoubtedly the most optimistic candidate for the prince. In the face of the potential threat of Xin Gongzi, does King Xiu's attitude have other intentions, or is he pure and kind by nature?

As the biggest beneficiary of King Qing's loss, King Xiu was the target of Xin Yu's suspicion, and naturally did not refuse the other party's approach.

"Tomorrow, Xiao Wang will be the east, please have tea with Cousin Rui, and please enjoy the light." King Xiu smiled and sent out an invitation.
