When Gu Jinghan heard this, he raised his eyes to look at Xia Qingli: "Now that the Zhu family and Aunt Wan's mother and daughter have been released, what are you going to do?" ”

Xia Qingli said unhurriedly: "I expected this to happen. She asked the secret guard, "What happened to the so-called maid who surrendered herself?" ”

Seeing that his master had no objection, the dark guard muttered a few words in his heart, his master is really good to Miss Xia now.

"Back to Miss Xia, that maid is an inconspicuous third-class maid of the Xia family. Before this, she had no contact with the Zhu family, nor had she ever been in contact with Mama Zeng. She suddenly went to the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion today to report the case, saying that she had a grudge with Lu'er and had been beaten and scolded by her......"

According to the maid's confession, she said that Miss Xia was also there at the time, but she didn't help her, so she held a grudge against Miss Xia. Later, Lu'er troubled her again, and she couldn't bear it anymore and killed Lu'er, but she happened to be seen by her wife.

She sprinkled the stun drug on her face, and then took the bodies of her and Luer back to the courtyard, pretending that Madame had killed her.

But in the past few days, her conscience was uneasy, and she couldn't bear it anymore, so she ran to the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion and surrendered. She told the details of the crime, and also said where to buy the drug, etc.

After Xia Qingli listened, he knew that there was a big problem: "Didn't you find out who the maid had contact with before this?" ”

She suspected that this maid would be guilty of the Zhu family's handiwork. How exactly Zhu did it is not known for the time being.

Dark Guard: "Still investigating." But this maid didn't have any contact with anyone before she arrived at the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion. ”

Xia Qingli had a guess: "Checking her family may yield something." ”

The Dark Guard saluted and stepped back to do his errands.

Xia Qingli pushed Gu Jinghan to continue walking, and she said lightly: "I'm going back to see the excitement, do you want to watch the excitement with me, or where to go shopping?" ”

Gu Jinghan thought for a while: "Let's go see the excitement first, and then we'll go to the court doctor." It's been so long that the government doctor has been locked up, it's time to interrogate him. ”

Xia Qingli snorted and pushed him in the direction of Xia's house: "Let's go slower." Lest those protagonists have not yet arrived, we will have to wait a while. ”

As they walked, the two came to a fairly lively street.

There are all kinds of shops on the streets, and the air is filled with all kinds of fragrances, and the cries of hawkers are intertwined with the chats and laughter of the people.

Xia Qingli still likes this kind of liveliness in the market, she smiled at the corner of her lips, looking left and right.

Gu Jinghan noticed her appearance, bought some snacks from the vendor next to her, and handed them to her: "Try it, it should taste good." ”

Xia Qingli thanked her, and she took a piece of nougat to eat.

The sweet taste spread in her mouth, so sweet that she squinted, but it was not annoying.

"You taste it, it's delicious." She took a piece of nougat and stuffed it into Gu Jinghan's mouth.

Gu Jinghan was caught off guard and was stuffed with a piece of sugar.

The point is that Xia Qingli's fingertips inadvertently touched his lips.

At that moment, the warm temperature seeped into Gu Jinghan's skin from his fingertips, just like ice and snow meeting the warm sun, which suddenly made him numb, and even his breathing was a little disordered, and his heartbeat was even more beating.

In his mouth, the sweet and greasy taste spread, so sweet that his heart was greasy, but he didn't want to spit it out, but tasted it slowly, the taste of this nougat was very good.

"What can I do with my hands and feet?" His earlobes gradually turned crimson, but his tone was cold and hard.

"Huh?" Xia Qingli was puzzled: "Where did I move my hands and feet?" I'll just feed you a candy, is that a move? You look like a big man, could it be that you were a girl in your last life? ”

Gu Jinghan glared at her angrily: "If you can't speak, don't speak!" ”

Xia Qingli sighed: "You are really difficult to serve. It's the same for a while, and there's a lot more. ”

As she spoke, she stuffed another piece of candy into Gu Jinghan's mouth, "Eat more sugar, your heart will be sweet, and there won't be so many things." ”

Gu Jinghan's lips inevitably touched her fingertips, causing his body to stiffen slightly. However, Xia Qingli didn't notice the abnormality at all, and still used that hand to hold the candy and eat.

Gu Jinghan's eyes were slightly dark, if he hadn't known that Xia Qingli didn't want to seduce him, he would have mistakenly thought that this woman was playing tricks.

He chewed the nougat in his mouth.

A sweeter taste suddenly filled the mouth, and this sweetness spread to the heart, bringing a trace of strange emotions.

It's pretty good.

"Only you girls like these sweet and greasy sugars."

Xia Qingli snorted lightly: "What you said is not right, anyone can eat sugar." And, let me tell you, eating sugar can make you feel better. Especially if you have a stinky temper like you, you must eat more sugar to have a good temper. ”

Gu Jinghan: "...... Where did you learn the fallacy? ”

Xia Qingli stretched out a finger and shook it: "I'm not crooked, it's the truth." ”

Gu Jinghan shook his head and didn't say anything more.

The two of them walked and stopped, and from time to time Gu Jinghan would buy some snacks or gadgets, all for Xia Qingli.

Xia Qingli accepted all the orders, and she would often feed Gu Jinghan different snacks.

Guards in the shadows.

"Do you think that Lord spoils Miss Xia very much?"

"Yes, yes, yes! Have you ever seen anyone other than Miss Xia who can get close to the master like this? I also fed something by hand, which simply refreshed my three views. ”

"You don't understand that, do you? This is an intimate act between the two, don't you see that Ye is very happy? Be polite to Miss Xia in the future, otherwise you will feel better. ”

Xia Qingli and Gu Jinghan didn't know about the chat of a few secret guards, and when the two arrived at Xia's house, they happened to see Xia Xuesong, Zhu and Aunt Wan's mother and daughter entering Xia's house one after another.

"Let's go, let's go in and see the excitement!" Xia Qingli pushed Gu Jinghan to follow.

Before the two of them could follow a few steps, they heard Xia Qingrou's dissatisfied voice.

"Dad, did you steal your aunt's dowry and private property?"

Seeing this, Xia Qingli and Gu Jinghan found a good corner that was not easy to be found and could watch the show.

Xia Qingli's eyes swept over Xia Xuesong, Zhu and Aunt Wan's mother and daughter, and looked at Zhu twice. Look at the dirty blood marks on Zhu's face, her wound will leave a scar even if it is treated in time, which is a devastating blow to Zhu.

"How did you talk to me?" Xia Xuesong, who was already on fire, slapped Xia Qingrou when she heard this: "Bastard thing!" ”

He pointed at Xia Qingrou and scolded Aunt Wan, "Look at the daughter you taught, what she looks like, she doesn't say anything about the rules, and she still doesn't respect me as a father so much." ”

Aunt Wan pursed her lips, a little dissatisfied: "Master doesn't need to change the topic, now who doesn't know that you have usurped the dowry private property of Mrs. and several of our concubines for yourself." ”

The second lady would ask like this, and she was also worried about the concubine. Master, in order to prove your innocence, you will return the dowry and private property of the concubine to the concubine, right? ”

She herself doesn't have much dowry, and she has bought a lot of private property in the mansion over the years. These private properties are left by her for the future and Qingrou, and nothing can go wrong.

When Xia Xuesong was about to say something, she heard Zhu say, "Send my dowry and private property back to me today", and saw her leave gloomy, and she was immediately angry.

"Zhu, what is your attitude? I don't dislike your ugly appearance yet, you dare to talk to me like this! Have you ever taken me as your husband? ”

Zhu didn't pay attention to him, she had to find a doctor to see her face as soon as possible. If the government doctor can't cure her, she will ask the doctor to help her look at her face.

She must not be disfigured.

"The master asked knowingly." Aunt Wan said in a strange manner: "If Madame really treats you as her husband, she will stay in her courtyard for so many years and not see you?" Will I not share a room with you? Fools can see that Madame is playing with you in applause, and you are stupid to think that Madame is praying for you. ”

Xia Qingrou took over the conversation, and it was also in a yin and yang weird tone: "It's not." Dad, my aunt and I told you a long time ago that there was something wrong with Madame, and you didn't believe it at the time, and you reprimanded me and my aunt. Now my father looks at his wife's attitude, and he is grateful that his father has protected her so much over the years. ”

The more Xia Xuesong listened, the more angry he became, the more dissatisfied he became with the Zhu family, and the more suspicious he became of Zhu's intentions to marry him. As Aunt Qingrou and Aunt Wan said, if Madame really likes him, how can she treat him like this.

It was clear that Madame was using him.

"Shut up!" He won't spare Madame.

Aunt Wan could see how dissatisfied Xia Xuesong was with the Zhu family, so she gave Xia Qingrou a look, and said, "Master, the concubine advises you, you have to guard against Mrs. After so many years, who knows how much Madame has done in secret. ”

"For example, the matter of the house doctor, the matter of the absolute medicine. If it weren't for the lady's poisonous heart, I'm afraid that the old man has several sons, and maybe there are still sons who have entered the official career, and the old man will not be like now. ”

These words made Xia Xuesong have a gloomy face, and walked towards the Zhu family's courtyard with an angry face, and today he had to settle accounts with the Zhu family.

Seeing this, Aunt Wan pulled Xia Qingrou to find the housekeeper. Taking advantage of this opportunity, she has to get back her dowry and private property, and she can't let the lord take over her things.

Xia Qingli, who watched a good show, said to Gu Jinghan with a smile: "Guess how the Zhu family will make Xia Xuesong continue to listen to her obediently?" ”

"Connections!" Gu Jinghan said: "The Zhu family has a lot of connections, and she will use this to discuss conditions with Xia Xuesong, so as to make herself smell good for the time being, so that she can reach her calculations." ”

Xia Qingli snapped his fingers, and there was a cold glint in his eyes: "You and I want to be together." However, this is a good thing for me, and I am worried that I will not be able to find out about Zhu's connections. ”

Gu Jinghan understood: "Do you suspect that someone in the Zhu family's connections has a problem?" ”

Without waiting for Xia Qingli to answer, he said again, "Do you still suspect that this person may know about your biological parents?" Maybe it has something to do with what happened back then. ”
