Congxi was stunned for a moment, and muttered in a low voice: "You are really unreasonable." Congxi turned his head to look at Mrs. Qu and said: "Thank you grandmother for agreeing to me to stay in the Qu family, if there is nothing else, I will retire from Xixian first, I didn't eat today's banquet, I haven't eaten for most of the day, I'm really hungry, everyone is hungry, why don't we all go back to eat?" ”

Qu Miaozhi suddenly said: "Grandmother, Congxi has caused such a big disaster and affected the entire Qu family, you agree to let her stay in the Qu family, do you still let her go back to Youyunyuan safely, and don't plan to punish her?" Grandmother, you punish me for making a mistake, you're too partial, aren't you? ”

Mrs. Qu also immediately echoed: "Miaozhi is right, how much trouble did she cause this time, and the Qu family still doesn't know what she has been dragged down by?" If she continues to stay in the Qu family, she must be punished, mother, Zaichen, you can't favor her anymore this time, otherwise I don't know what else she will do in the future, and we are not convinced? ”

Old Madam Qu hesitated and said: "Congxi did cause a lot of trouble this time, but for the sake of Congxi's cause and frank admission of mistakes, I will punish Congxi for kneeling in the ancestral hall for three days." ”

Mrs. Qu: "Mother, you favored her again, and only let her kneel for three days, too much to spare her, right?" I think she should be allowed to kneel for three months, and it will save her from going out all day and causing trouble. ”

Old Madam Qu said: "Do you plan to kneel for three months?" It would be nice if she could stand it for three days. ”

Qu Zaichen glanced at Lan Chu beside Congxi, and said calmly: "In the past three days, only Congxi is allowed to kneel in the ancestral hall alone, meditate on her own mistakes, and she is not allowed to eat for three days, does my mother think it's okay?" ”

Cong Xi looked at Qu Zaichen, Qu Zaichen looked at each other calmly, and sighed secretly, this time Qu Zaichen was really angry, but it was better to stay in the Qu family than for her and Lan Chu to run away from the rivers and lakes and be chased and killed by the Song family, okay, I endured it.

Mrs. Qu compromised and muttered, "That's cheap for her." ”

Lan Chu stopped and said: "No, she is not in good health, just now she was kicked by a guard in the Song family, she should have suffered internal injuries, how can she stand kneeling for three days, I will kneel for her, can I kneel for a few days?" ”

Qu Zaichen said calmly: "Miss Lan, you can't replace her, she should bear her own mistakes, you and Congran are not allowed to accompany her in the ancestral hall these days, I said, only she is allowed to meditate on her own mistakes." ”

Lan Chu just wanted to speak again, and hurriedly pulled Lan Chu and said: "Sister Lan, it's okay, I can stand it, don't worry, I'll be fine, you are also injured, you can rest well in the next few days, wait for the injury to heal, and then practice the sword, we don't know what dangers we will encounter in the future." Lan Chu looked at Congxi and was still a little worried, and Congxi leaned close to Lan Chu's ear and whispered: "I'm alone in the ancestral hall, who knows if I'm kneeling or lying down, maybe I can sleep for three days, just take a rest in the ancestral hall, you go back to Yun Xian, let him find an opportunity to secretly send me some food, it doesn't matter if he is discovered, and no one dares to punish him." ”

Lan Chu nodded vigorously this time.

Yun Xian walked towards the ancestral hall with a food box, and just walked to a secluded place in the garden, Qu Zaichen suddenly fell in front of Yun Xian, Yun Xian was startled for a moment before he saw that it was Qu Zaichen, and then laughed mischievously: "Do you want to have a secret tryst with me, then you have to wait, your wife is hungry, or you will send her the food in person, I am waiting for you here, rest assured, promise not to leave?" ”

Qu Zaichen glanced at the food box in Yun Xian's hand and said calmly: "She also helped her deliver food, do you think she's right?" ”

Yun Xian: "She is just a frightened bird, standing on the branch with her eyes on guard, ready to flee at any time, frightened again and trying to protect herself, besides, there are two pure birds behind her, she doesn't want to protect her at all times." She didn't really have a vicious mind, what did she do to kill people and set fires, and she really wanted to starve her to death, don't you feel sorry for starving her to death? ”

Qu Zaichen: "But she finally calculated the Qu family, she knew that the Song and Qu families were fighting, and there would be casualties, but she still pushed the Song and Qu families into hostility for her own interests, and the only people who hurt her in the Song family were Mrs. Song, Mrs. Song, and Miss Song Liu, and you heard it just now, she said that she wanted the Song family to be overthrown, so thoughtful, do you think she is still the Congxi you know?" ”

Yun Xian smiled: "When she said that she wanted the Song family to be overthrown, you could find that she had resentment on her face, how to be vicious without resentment, although she calculated the Qu family, but she also confessed to everyone, I think Congxi or Congxi, Congxi said, the Song family is a sharp sword hanging above the head of the Cong family, she can't move or hide for so many years, she can only live with the hanging sword, and now the sword will be stabbed, she is frightened, and wants to use the power of the Qu family to help her remove the sword, get rid of her worries, although it is not much above board, It's understandable. Do you really think that with her disobedience, the rest of the Song family has not done evil, and she will eliminate the Song family for her own interests, regardless of right and wrong? ”

Qu Zaichen was silent for a moment: "But after all..."

Yun Xian interrupted: "After all, she calculates others for her own interests, you suspect that you have seen the wrong person, whether Congxi is still the kind person you know, regardless of personal gains and losses, wanton and wanton." She used to calculate you in order to help others, and you never got angry, but this time she wants to live by herself and calculate you once, what are you angry about? ”

Qu Zaichen was stunned for a moment and didn't answer, Yun Xian smiled again: "You are just a fan of the authorities, you have already thought about her, so you have great expectations for her, I am afraid that I will love the wrong person and move the wrong love." You are even more angry that she didn't tell you about the Song family and Cong's family from beginning to end, she wanted the Qu family to save her, but she used calculating means, but she didn't ask you for help. She couldn't ask for help and she was going to leave Qufu at any time, but she never thought about you, that's why you're angry, right? In the final analysis, it's just that you have your heart for her first, and she hasn't been interested in you yet, Qu Er Gongzi, you have to continue to work hard, for example, you personally send these meals to her, so that she can see your affection? ”

Qu Zaichen didn't take the meal: "You hit her off at first sight, you are a confidant, and she didn't ask you for help, aren't you angry?" ”

Yun Xian said indifferently: "Congxi said, if she doesn't accuse Mrs. Song and Mrs. Song of murder on the spot today, the Song family may look at the face of the Qu family, and stop attacking her from now on, then she will come back to ask us for help, and we may not be able to find out what the Song family has to do, it may take many years to find out." She also used herself as bait at the time, wanting to end the matter quickly, and she had been thinking about leaving the Qu family in two years, she was worried that after leaving the Qu family, we would not be able to protect her, and it was understandable. Besides, today's events were also something she didn't expect, didn't you find out that Congxi was really angry in the Song family? She accused Mrs. Song and Mrs. Song of murder in public, she had a plan and an impulse, and she wanted to seek justice for her family, how thoughtful and stable can she be a little girl? Actually, you can think of all this, but you take her too seriously and don't notice it when you are angry. It's because Xi kept saying that she planned to leave the Qu family, so you got angry, right? Can you blame her for this, but you asked her to sign the contract at the beginning, and you don't care if she thinks she has a child with another man now, and she can still find you for everything? ”

Qu Zaichen said: "Anyway, the confrontation between the Song and Qu families was deliberately provoked by her, and she is at fault, you are not allowed to bring her food, let her think about it in the past few days." ”

Yun Xian saw that Qu Zaichen was serious, and said casually: "Okay, starve her, I don't believe you don't feel distressed." ”

Qu Zaichen sat alone in the study, Luo Yi knocked on the door and walked into the study, looked at Qu Zaichen and said: "Son, Miao Juanniang came prepared today, she is very skilled in horseback riding, with the streets and alleys passing left and right, I followed her for half an hour and lost her, and later inquired, she went out of the city to the western suburbs, there is a deserted forest there, and no one saw Miao Juanniang and their traces." I found out that someone in the Song family was also secretly following, but they didn't find Miao Juanniang either. ”

Qu Zaichen pondered: "According to what I saw during the day, Miao Juanniang's son and daughter-in-law should have an accident in the Song Mansion, with Miao Juanniang's heart, she will not give up, and there will definitely be some trouble in the Song Mansion, you send someone to secretly monitor the movements of the Song Mansion, and try not to let the people of the Song Mansion notice." ”

Luo Yi nodded: "Yes." ”

Qu Zaichen said again: "The most wise person in the Song Mansion is Song Gaoyang, as far as I know, although he looks straight, he is actually ruthless, and he should have done a lot of corruption and perversion of the law in the court, but he is good at covering it up, and he has not been discovered by the court, you send this letter to the capital immediately, and let our people secretly investigate Song Gaoyang's past." ”

Luo Yi nodded: "Yes." ”

Qu Zaichen: "Also, Song Gaoyang's concubine, that Mrs. Li is so afraid of Song Gaoyang, she should know some of Song Gaoyang's private affairs, or she can be used by us, send more people, and find her before the Song family as much as possible." ”

Luo Yi nodded again: "Yes." ”

In the evening, Miao Juanniang appeared alone in front of the gate of the Song Mansion, the servants of the Song Mansion saw Miao Juanniang, and the long mouth was stunned for a moment, and immediately returned to the house to report, after half a ring, he returned quickly, and led Miao Juanniang into the main hall of the Song Mansion, and the Song family gathered together in the main hall, the old lady Song and the old lady Song sat on the top, Song Gaoyang, Mrs. Song, Song Gaoyuan, Song Gaozhong, Song San, Song Gaoqing, Song Gaoqing's husband Feng Qian, Song Gaodu, Song Gaoqiu, and Song Gaoqiu's husband Fang Chun, respectively, sat on both sides.

Miao Juanniang walked into the main hall, glanced at it and said with a smile: "The Song family is complete, it's okay, it's easy to do things when everyone is together." ”

Old lady Song opened his mouth and said, "What are you doing?" Juan Niang, it was true that I couldn't stand you back then, but you let my six children die, it's too vicious, I haven't had a grandchild for many years, you are also relieved, can you give us the solution now, the Song family promised you, I will help you find your son and daughter-in-law? ”

Miao Juanniang said disdainfully: "Song Feng, after so many years, you are still so shameless and shameless, don't you know where my son and daughter-in-law are?" That Mrs. Li told me, your second son Mrs. Song Gaoyuan died early, has not been renewed, went home to celebrate his birthday, did not bring his concubine to follow, he saw my daughter-in-law handsome yesterday, he got lustful, wanted to occupy my daughter-in-law, my son naturally did not allow, was beaten by you, my daughter-in-law is strong, would rather die than give in, hit the wall and committed suicide, you are afraid that the matter will leak out, even my son will be killed together, let people carry them out and bury them, so you pushed my son's board car out of the Song Mansion, in order to destroy the evidence, isn't it? ”

Song Gaoyuan immediately said: "She is talking nonsense, I have never seen your daughter-in-law at all, although I don't have a wife, there are countless maids in the Song family, even if I want to do Fengyue, I need to find her a lowly person who sells pork, where is Mrs. Li, you let her confront us face to face?" ”

Miao Juanniang sneered: "Can she still leave the Song family when confronted?" I don't believe her, do you believe you? How many good things does your Song family have? Mrs. Li also told me a lot of despicable and cruel things about Song Gaoyang, and he was a sanctimonious squire. ”

Song Gaoyang was not angry, but looked at Miao Juanniang calmly and said, "Granny Miao, how can you be sure that what Mrs. Li said is true?" ”

Miao Juanniang: "It's true that my son and my daughter-in-law disappeared in the Song Mansion, Mrs. Li swore with her own daughter's curse is true, I saved her life and she wants to repay the favor is true, your Song family is evil, and it is true that you have done all the bad things, so I believe what she said." ”

Song Gaoyang said: "Maybe she is just trying to survive for herself, lying and deceiving you, gambling and swearing to kill people, she may just talk about it." ”

Miao Juanniang said with a smile: "If it is said by a childless person, maybe you are really not worthy of your own blood and bones." ”

Song Gaoyang's eyes showed anger: "Since Granny Miao believes that your son and daughter-in-law were killed by my second brother, what is Granny Miao's plan to come here today?" ”

Miao Juanniang: "Song Shilang is Song Shilang, one sentence to the point, although Miao Shun is not my own child, but also I pulled him up with a handful of and urine, that child is sensible, and when he grows up, he is filial to me in every way, and his daughter-in-law is more filial and diligent, after she enters my Miao family, she takes care of the housework, and almost does not let me interfere, I still count on them to give me a pension and send me to the end, I didn't expect to be murdered by you, I said that my Miao Juanniang is not a tolerant and generous person, Song Gaoyuan killed my son and my daughter-in-law, I naturally wanted him to pay for his life, Song Gaoyuan died, I'll give you a recipe for the incense, and your Song family will have someone to succeed the incense lamp, how about it? ”

Song Gaoyuan immediately said: "You are looking for death, father, mother, eldest brother, don't listen to her nonsense, you hand her over to me, but I will let her hand over the solution in half an hour?" ”

Miao Juanniang said with a smile: "Let me tell you a piece of news, the doctor said that I was terminally ill, and I would only live for three months at most, and my coffin was ready, so I waited for the end of these three months, and asked Miao Shun to give me a funeral for wearing linen and filial piety and Bu Ling, but I didn't expect him to go to the underworld before me and was killed by you." I live three months more and three months less, how much difference there is, so, I have taken poison, two hours of attack, I only have two hours, if Song Gaoyuan does not die in these two hours, you will never know the solution, your Song family will be cut off. If you want to torture me, just try it, see how many sets of torture tools my old bones can survive, in case I swallow my breath in less than two hours, your Song family will cut off the account of children and grandchildren, don't count it on my head. ”

Song Gaoyuan: "You are talking nonsense, I don't believe that people like you will commit suicide by taking poison by themselves, big brother, don't believe her." ”
