Qu Zaichen: "You said the names of those servants in public to help them?" ”

Congxi shook his head: "No, it's mainly for myself, saying their names, so that the accusation is more real." In fact, I have never known whether it is better for them to think that their relatives are still alive despite their worries, or whether it is better to tell them the truth so that they can lose hope but avoid worrying about their stomachs. ”

Congxi finished drinking a bowl of porridge and frowned: "This porridge has a medicinal taste, a little bitter, Qu Zaitchen, you won't poison the porridge, you won't kill me in front of your ancestors, right?" What medicine are you going to take and what are you going to do with me? ”

From pretending to be afraid, hugging his body.

Qu Zaichen said calmly: "You are my wife, what I can't do to you openly, you still need to be poisoned?" ”

Congxi was slightly surprised: "Qu Zaichen, what nonsense are you talking about, there are no outsiders here, who do you pretend to cut off, we have nothing to do with it." Besides, this is an ancestral hall, talking nonsense here, I'm not afraid that your ancestors will split you bastard descendants, what did you add to the porridge? ”

Qu Zaichen: "Doctor He knows that you are not in good health, so he gave a few prescriptions, which can strengthen the foundation and cultivate the yuan, nourish the blood and replenish the qi, I asked the kitchen to make some medicinal food according to the prescription, and you will use some every day in the future, which will be very beneficial to your body." ”

Congxi: "Grandpa He still feels sorry for me, but the medicinal porridge is not very good, you don't have to drink this at every meal, one bowl a day is enough?" ”

Qu Zaichen: "If you don't want to drink, you can be hungry." ”

Qu Zaichen picked up the food box and turned around to leave.

Congxi hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, has Jian Xuan come to me in the past two days?" ”

Qu Zaichen glanced at Congxi and turned his head: "No." ”

Congxi pondered: "No? It shows that he Jian Xuan has not returned to Jinzhou, how can it take so long to investigate the case, what county has he been to for several days, I don't know if something happened? ”

Qu Zaichen: "There are big and small cases, some difficult and some easy, not all cases can be solved in a few days, some take months or even years to investigate, he only went for a few days, and there is nothing strange about not coming back." You still have the energy to care about others, it seems that my bowl of porridge is too much. ”

Congxi: "What's redundant?" I'm so hungry that I'm slumped, I can turn my head, I care about what's wrong with my friend, I don't have this bowl of porridge, tomorrow there will be another tablet on the table, no, I shouldn't have this qualification. Anyway, I haven't eaten enough, Second Prince Qu, since you made an exception to send me a bowl of porridge, let's do it to the end, and then send me some food, right? Don't bother the second son of Qu to condescend to send it to me personally, just let Sister Lan and Congran send it to me? ”

Qu Zaichen: "No, let you kneel in the ancestral hall, you are punished and considered, not to let you enjoy the food, make an exception once, it is already tolerant of you." ”

Congxi hurriedly said: "But I know it's wrong, I really know it's wrong, you make an exception one more time, can't you make an exception tomorrow tomorrow?" ”

Qu Zaichen: "Do you know what's wrong?" ”

Cong nodded hurriedly: "I know, I know, I shouldn't have calculated the Qu family, I shouldn't force the Song family to oppose the Qu family, I shouldn't have put the entire Qu family in trouble in order to protect myself, I really know that I was wrong, I promise not to do anything that hurts the interests of your Qu family in the future, okay?" ”

Qu Zaichen exhaled deeply: "No, there is no exception." ”

Then he turned around and walked away quickly.

Congxi looked at Qu Zaichen's back and muttered: "Why are you angry again, I'm sincere, and I'm not perfunctory to you, saying that you are moody and you still don't admit it." ”

Two days later, in the morning, I was awakened by a knock on the door from my deep sleep, and I thought in a daze: 'When I came back from the ancestral hall last night, I told everyone in Youyunyuan that she had been hungry in the ancestral hall for three days and had not slept well, and she was extremely tired. No, it seems that the sun is slanting, and it's already past the time for breakfast, and lunch shouldn't have arrived yet, who is looking for me at this time? Congxi was really sleepy, he didn't get up in bed, there was a few more knocks on the door, Congxi struggled to open his eyes, and he didn't put on a coat, so he got out of bed directly, walked to the door, and opened the door.

Qu Zaichen was standing in front of the door, saw Congxi's appearance, and said softly: "The Song family is here, saying that they are here to plead guilty to you, you get dressed, and follow me to the main hall to see them." ”

Before Congxi could ask questions, Qu Zaichen had already turned around and walked away.

Congxi put on his dress, finished grooming, walked out of the door, and saw Qu Zaichen, Yun Xian, Lan Chu, and Congran all standing not far from the courtyard, and Congxi approached a few people: "Qu Zaichen, I heard it right just now, you said that the Song family came to Qu's house to ask me for guilt?" ”

Qu Zaichen nodded: "Old lady Song, old lady Song, Song Gaoyang, Song Gaodu, and Song Gaoqiu came together, they said they came to ask you for sin, but they should have another purpose, but I can't guess why they came, let's go meet them first." ”

Congxi twisted his eyebrows: "Did the Song family's servants Yue Ying and Wang Yan'er go to the Song family to make trouble, how did the Song family deal with it?" ”

Qu Zaichen: "As you expected, the Song family said that it was Duan Yan who killed the five servants, although Duan Yan had passed away, and the Song family claimed that they also had a fault of lax discipline, so they lost a lot of money to the five servants' families yesterday, and this matter is over." ”

Thinking about it: "A few days ago, I made a big fuss about the Song Mansion, so that the Song family lost face, yesterday I caused the Song family to lose a lot of money, today they came to the door to ask for guilt, if they are sincere, is it possible that their family will become a Buddha?" ”

Yun Xian said with a smile: "With the Song family's daily habits, if they can become Buddhas on the ground, there will be gods and Buddhas everywhere in the world, and what Zaichen said is right, they should have another purpose." ”

Congxi looked at Yun Xian and said: "They may be coming for you, the Song family is powerful and noble, and your sister and brother-in-law are people who stand at the top of the powerful, or they have endured other humiliations in order to get close to you Yun Shizi, if so, they really look down on them." ”

Yun Xian shook his head: "Not necessarily, everyone in the court knows that I am a useless crazy person who does not learn and has no skills, what I say is worthless in the court, and it is not much worse in my parents and sister, it is useless for them to find me for a career and future." Go and take a look, don't be afraid, I'll help you press the formation, although I don't have any role in the court, but what you said is right, my sister and brother-in-law are standing there, and they don't dare to offend me easily. ”

Nodding his head, several people walked towards the main hall.

On the top of the main hall of Qufu sat Mrs. Qu, on the lower left sat Mrs. Song, Mrs. Song, Song Gaoyang, Song Gaodu, Song Gaoqiu, and on the lower right sat Mr. Qu, Mrs. Qu, Qu Zaifan, and Yang Sishan.

Congxi, Qu Zaichen, Yun Xian, Lan Chu, and Congran walked into the main hall, and after saluting everyone, Yun Xian sat down at the empty table next to Yang Sishan, Congxi, Qu Zaichen, Lan Chu, and Congran stood in the hall without moving, and glanced at the five members of the Song family, and several members of the Song family lost the smugness at the banquet a few days ago, and seemed to have lost all their spirits.

Old Madam Qu looked at Congxi, pretending to be disgusted and said: "Congxi, you girl is getting more and more unruly, how early and late did you get up, so that the guests waited for so long." ”

Congxi pretended to be aggrieved and said: "Grandmother, you forgot, I came back from the Song Mansion a few days ago, my grandmother blamed me for not understanding the general situation, offended the Song family, and punished me for kneeling in the ancestral hall for three days. Let Mrs. Song, Mrs. Song, and Lord Song wait for a long time, it is not from Xi, and Congxi will make amends to Mrs. Song, Mrs. Song, and Lord Song. ”

Congxi said that he was blessed and apologized to several members of the Song family.

Old lady Song coughed, hesitated for a moment, and said: "The second young lady is polite, it's okay, the old lady has wrongly punished the second young lady, and the second young lady can't complain about the events of the past few days." ”

Congxi said in a harmonious voice: "Congxi was impulsive for a while, and made a big fuss about the banquet of the Song Mansion, which made the Song Mansion lose face, and Congxi knew that he was wrong, and his grandmother had punished Congxi, and asked the old lady Song, Mrs. Song, and Lord Song to see that Congxi was young and ignorant, and that there were no more things, so don't be more surprised?" ”

Old lady Song hurriedly said: "At the banquet, Jing misunderstood the second young lady, and almost hurt the second young lady, don't blame the second young lady for being angry, and ask the second young lady to forgive me for being reckless?"

Congxi smiled: "It's a misunderstanding, and it's okay to be from Xi, so naturally I don't dare to blame Mrs. Song anymore, Congxi is not so stingy." ”

Old lady Song, old lady Song, Qu Gaoyang, Song Gaodu, and Song Gaoqiu couldn't help but glance at each other, they were all a little surprised, this little girl was humble and polite, gentle and respectful, she was like two people at the birthday banquet, what kind of demon was she doing? But fortunately, she has been pretending to be humble, and the matter of the solution may be discussed.

Old Lady Song paused for a moment and hesitated, "Also. Back then, we didn't figure out what happened, and the child was anxious, impulsive and reckless, causing you to suffer a catastrophe from your home, and today we are here to make amends. ”

Old lady Song stood up and bowed to Congxi.

Old Madam Song, Song Gaoyang, Song Gaodu, and Song Gaoqiu also stood up and apologized to Congxi, and saw that Old Madam Song seemed to be unwilling to be dissatisfied from Xi's face, but the apology was quite respectful and sincere, and secretly thought: "What kind of medicine is in the gourd of the Song family, it is all possessed by ghosts, and Song Gaodu seems to know the original situation, then, he also came to the Qu family together, should he not plot to hurt me, so what does the Song family want?" ’

Congxi said calmly: "Okay, I accepted this gift on behalf of my grandfather, grandmother, and mother, if the Song family really has no problem with Congxi, I will not pursue the past twelve years ago." Old lady Song, old lady Song, Lord Song, Uncle Song, and Miss Song, get up quickly. ”

Old lady Song said: "Second Young Lady Xie is tolerant. ”

The five members of the Song family sat down again, and the four members of the Song family all looked at Song Gaodu, confused, and also looked at Song Gaodu, Song Gaodu hesitated, then stood up and approached Congxi and said: "From. Since you are willing to forgive your father and mother for the previous things, then. Can you give us the solution? ”

Song Gaodu took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to Congxi.

Congxi took the handkerchief in surprise, glanced at it and said, "This is my handkerchief, I said why can't I find it, and it fell on your house?" Uncle Song, you said that I will give you the solution, what do you mean, what is the solution? ”

Song Gaodu looked at Congxi in surprise, and when he saw Congxi's puzzled face, he was even more puzzled.

Song Gaoyang stood up, walked to Song Gaodu's side, looked at Congxi and said: "Second Young Lady, Miao Juanniang said that she gave you the solution to the incense poison before she died, and this handkerchief is a token of your agreement with her, as long as we come to see you with a handkerchief, you will give us the solution." Second Young Lady, twelve years ago, it is true that the Song family can't live with you from home, since the Second Young Lady is generous and tolerant, and no longer pursues the crimes of the Song family, can you keep your promise and give us the solution, the Song family is grateful to the Second Young Lady, if the Second Young Lady needs the Song family to serve in the future, the Song family will definitely die? ”

Congxi looked at Song Gaoyang in astonishment: "Lord Song, you said that Miao Juanniang told you before she died that the solution to the incense poison is in my hands, I heard it right, Miao Juanniang. She. She's dead? ”

Song Gaoyang frowned: "What does the second young lady mean by this, on the night of the banquet, wasn't what happened in the Song Mansion planned by the second young lady and Miao Juanniang?" ”

Congxi was even more surprised: "On the night of the banquet? Miao Juanniang and I didn't plan anything? I didn't know her before the feast, and I didn't see her after the feast, so how could I have the opportunity to plot things with her. What did Miao Juanniang do on the night of the banquet, and how did she die? ”

Song Gaoyang stared at Congxi's face, his eyes were puzzled, and he slowly opened his mouth to tell Miao Juanniang that she had taken the poison herself, entered the Song Mansion, and used the solution as bait to kill Song Gaoyuan with her own hands.
