Fu Zhen glanced at him: "Get out." ”

After saying that, he walked out.

Pei Zhan saw her follow the foal agilely, and soon regained her serious look, and after thinking in place for a while, she went out and got on the horse.

……

Fu Zhen did not go to Ning's house, but went back to Pei's mansion directly.

Mrs. Ning did have something wrong with Old Man Ning's affairs, but Mrs. Ning didn't open her mouth to say, Fu Zhen didn't want to make things difficult for others.

She didn't say that there must be her reason, Old Man Ning's death was a big turning point for Mrs. Ning's fate, and it was not easy to set things right, Fu Zhen didn't want to pour salt into her wounds.

Pei Zhan rode a horse to Ning's house.

General Pingxi in front of the people looked so indifferent and unapproachable, the front foot just opened the doorway for Mrs. Ning, and the back foot welcomed him to the door, and his head was about to hang to the ground: "Mrs. has just come back, I'm afraid I want to rest for a while, my uncle will go to the house and sit down, and let the little one go to report." ”

Pei Zhan sent him away as he walked: "If Mrs. is cleaned up, let someone come to Jia Ge'er's house to find me." ”

Ning Jia officially worshiped under the door of Master Shen, studied his homework diligently every day, and made great progress in his studies, but in the past many years, growing up in an inner house like the Fu family, he still seemed a little restrained in dealing with people.

So every time Pei Zhan came over, he always had to take some time to sit in his yard.

Mrs. Ning entered the backyard, Jin Zhu greeted her, looked at her and said, "Mrs. 's face is a little solemn, could it be that there is something in the shop?" ”

Mrs. Ning raised the curtain by herself: "It's okay." ”

Jin Zhu opened her mouth, and before she could take the next sentence, Mrs. Ning went straight into the house and sat in front of the bronze mirror to remove the hairpin ring.

Jin Zhu followed in, and was about to reach out to help, but Mrs. Ning said, "You go down, I'll rest for a while." ”

Jin Zhu had no choice but to retreat with interest.

Mrs. Ning stared at her and closed the door, then withdrew her gaze and looked at herself in the mirror for a moment, then got up and turned into the inner room, opening the cage in the corner of the room.

The summer wind lifted the curtains in the room, and swayed her sideburns one step at a time, and the projections that swayed from side to side fell on her eyebrows, reflecting her lowered eyes half-brightly and half-darkly.

There were many ledgers and letters neatly arranged in the cage, and she pulled out a yellowed letter from one of the stacks, and unfolded the sharpened letter to look at it.

After a while, she put down the letter, sat down in the chair beside her, and stared at the window.

"Madam, my uncle is here."

The sound of the golden bead slamming the door came from afar through the outer door.

Mrs. Ning suddenly restrained her deep eyes and responded: "Got it!" Then he folded the letter again.

Pei Zhan and Ning Jia sat down and said a few words, and the maid in Mrs. Ning's room came to invite: "Mrs. is in the flower hall, please go to drink tea." ”

Ning Jia immediately straightened his waist.

Pei Zhan looked at him and said, "I'm leaving, you're happy?" ”

Ning Jia opened his mouth, speechless.

Pei Zhan stood up, took two steps with his hands behind his back, and then stopped and turned back: "I have a party in two days, you go with me." ”

Ning Jia's body straightened up again: "The entertainment that my brother-in-law participated in are all powerful people in the DPRK and China, how can I not follow with my own strength?" ”

"I told you to go, and you followed me."

Pei Zhan looked at him, then left the sentence and left.

Ning Jia looked at his back with a sigh of relief, and only then did he exhale until he couldn't see him.

General Pingxi's majesty was too heavy, even if he became his brother-in-law, it still made Ning Jia feel like a small soldier under his command.

……

Pei Zhan arrived at the flower hall, and Mrs. Ning had already asked people to make tea.

She walked out with a smile: "Why did Toshiyuki come home again?" Did she really go back alone? ”

"Look at the dress she just wore, where can she still come out and show off? I went back and changed my clothes. She left me behind, and I simply came and sat down. ”

Pei Zhan said and sat down, "Miss Xie hasn't come yet, has she?" ”

Mrs. Ning smiled and handed him the tea, "Do you have anything to say?" ”

Pei Zhansui also smiled: "I really can't hide my mother's insight when I think about it." ”

Mrs. Ning said: "Let's say, let's not go around the bend." ”

Pei Zhan nodded: "It's not a secret, today He Qunying asked me to ask the Ning family for a boat, I didn't want to deal with it, but he mentioned his grandfather, so I can't ignore it."

"Whether my grandfather's death is suspicious or not, I want to hear my mother's sincere words."

Mrs. Ning said: "I knew you were here for this, you are really the same as Zhen'er, you are a person who breaks the casserole and asks the truth." But what's suspicious? My father passed away from a normal illness, so don't think about it. If there was a problem, wouldn't I have reported it to the police a long time ago? ”

Pei Zhan frowned: "Does my mother have any concerns?" The son-in-law is not talented, and he still has the ability to protect the safety of the Ning family. ”

Mrs. Ning smiled and shook her head: "Not really." ”

Although these words were light, they were as decisive as cutting them out, Pei Zhan stared at her for a moment, and had to withdraw his gaze.

……

Fu Zhen went back to the house to change and wash, sat in the hall and listened to the stewards talk back and forth, and arranged some things, and Pei Zhan came back in the twilight.

Fu Zhen ignored him at first, but later saw that he still had a tense face, and was sitting on the couch holding the military book, and he didn't speak for a long time, so he walked over: "Where did you go later?" ”

Pei Zhan turned his back to her.

Yo ho!

also made a small temperament.

Fu Zhen was not used to him, so he pinched his arm.

Pei Zhan hissed lightly, covered his arms and sat up: "How many times did you pinch me today?" ”

Fu Zhen said: "Just pinch the meat twice, and don't cut your meat, can't you make it from tofu?" ”

As soon as Pei Zhan heard this, he leaned to his side again, supported his forehead with one elbow, and said with a spring in his eyes: "If I make tofu, what will you do?" ”

"If you're made of tofu, I'll chop you into tofu dregs!"

Fu Zhen snorted in his nose after speaking, then got up and moved to the stool next to him and sat down: "I guess you went to Ning's house." ”

"Clever."

Pei Zhan closed the military book, rolled it up and patted his legs.

"But you went to Ning's house alone, it's unlikely that you would stay all afternoon, what's the matter with my mother, or did you go somewhere else?"

Pei Zhan took a slow breath and sat up: "I asked my mother-in-law, she really didn't reveal a word, and she insisted that the old man died of illness."

"So later, I went to the shopkeeper Su again, and found a few doctors who had treated the old man through the shopkeeper Su."

"The result?"

"Nothing." Pei Zhan shook his head, "Everyone's rhetoric is very consistent. ”

Fu Zhen furrowed his brows.

All the rhetoric is the same, isn't that too leaky?

There are a lot of doubts!

After dinner, Pei Zhan went to the study, and Fu Zhen took Guo Song and Yang Tong out alone.

When she arrived at the door of Ningjiajiao, she asked Yang Tong to call Ning Jia out.

"Sister......

"You go and open the small door of the Yixin Hall where I live, I have something to go in, and I don't want my mother to know."

Before Ning Jia could finish greeting him, Fu Zhen had already stopped him from talking.

Ning Jia paused and immediately said, "Did you quarrel with your brother-in-law?" ”

Fu Zhen didn't know how to explain the purpose of this trip, and felt that this reason was not bad, so he vaguely urged him to hurry in.

Where does Ning Jia dare to delay?

Immediately turned around and entered the door.

At the same time, Fu Zhen came to the outside of Yixin Hall, and as soon as the corner door opened, she flashed in with two guards.

"Sister, how did you quarrel with your brother-in-law? What did he do to you? ”

"Why are you kids worrying so much? Let's go back to our room! I'm staying here tonight, don't let my mother know. ”

Fu Zhen urged him to go out, and at the same time entered his yard.

In the past, there were no outsiders in this courtyard, but now after opening a door on the street, it has become an independent courtyard, and Yang Tong and they can go straight out.

After Ning Jia left, Fu Zhen sent Yang Tong and Guo Song to stay here, and then he opened the courtyard door and walked towards the main house where Mrs. Ning lived.

When she entered this house, where could anyone stop her? But she still chose to walk in the shadows.

Originally, she didn't want to dig into Mrs. Ning's thoughts, but Pei Zhan probed all the way, and the shopkeeper Su was like an iron wall, isn't this even more unusual?

Fu Zhen couldn't help it.

The lights were on in the main room, the maids came out with copper basins, and Mrs. Ning sat down in front of the window.

The summer night is cool, the windows are half open, and the crescent moon hangs in the air, shining like a sickle.

Mrs. Ning looked at her from a distance, then raised her right hand and rubbed her temples.

After a moment she lowered her hand, reached into her left sleeve, and pulled out the letter she had read during the day.

The door creaked, Jin Zhu walked in with the lamp in her hand, and after setting up the lantern, she came to Mrs. Ning's side: "Mrs. is looking at this again?" I'm afraid you can memorize the words on it. ”

"Who's to say it isn't." Mrs. Ning let out a long breath: "But now I feel that it is getting more and more tricky, the handwriting on it seems to be a needle tip, and I don't know what to do." ”

Jin Zhu looked at her deep eyes: "Otherwise, let's tell the truth to my aunt and grandmother, after all, even General He's son has set his sights on the old lady's death, so the He family is fighting with the Xu family again." ”

Mrs. Ning frowned: "The government and the opposition all say that the current emperor and queen are benevolent and righteous, virtuous and wise, I have never seen it, and I never dare to assert it."

"And Pei Liang's two families are high and powerful, like cooking oil on fire, and they can't get any such rights and wrongs......"

Fu Zhen leaned against the wall, and the conversation in the room was in his ears.

She stared at the night sky, then straightened up a little and looked into the room through the open window.

Mrs. Ning's face in front of the bronze mirror was the same sad face when Fu Zhenchu woke up and saw her, but it was clear that since she left, everything was too peaceful, and later she married the Pei family, so there was nothing worth her worrying about anymore.

"Mrs. ......"

"I'll think about it first. You go make the bed. ”

Mrs. Ning sent the gold beads, then got up and stuffed the letter into the dowry box.

Fu Zhen hid in the moon shadow until the lights in the room went out, and then there was no more movement, she gently opened the window and turned inside.

The makeup box is on the dressing table, and you can reach for it.

The moonlight shining into the house is really not bright, but for the familiar "house thief", this light is really enough. What's more, Mrs. Ning has never been on guard against Fu Zhen in these boxes, and she has always known how to open the hidden buckle on it.

The hidden button opened, and with a familiar and slight "click", the darkness in front of him was dispelled, and the room was lit up!

Fu Zhen suddenly raised his head, and saw Mrs. Ning standing in front of him with a huge night pearl!

As soon as she let go of her hand, the box almost fell to the ground!

"Mother, Mother......"

Fu Zhen swore that she had never been so embarrassed, after a few months of hard practice, her skills had recovered five or six points, she could deal with Xu Yin and the people of Rongwangfu in the White Crane Temple at ease, and she could also come and go freely in the Yu family, but she didn't expect to be caught in her own mother's house!

How would she explain her actions?

Glancing at the calm Mrs. Ning in front of her, she got up and put the box back on the coffee table beside her.

"Mother, I am, just curious......"

"When did you come back?" Mrs. Ning looked at her, her expression and tone were still very calm.

"Two, two quarters of an hour ago."

When Mrs. Ning heard this, she raised her eyebrows: "It seems that Jia Ge'er opened the door for you." ”

Fu Zhen was so cramped that his toes began to scratch the ground.

not only became a thief, but also tricked Ning Jia into ambushing himself, this should be a crime, right?

But is Fu Zhen the one who cowers?

At this point, she was upset and asked, "Didn't my mother already know that I was coming?" Deliberately turned off the lights and waited for me? You're amazing! It's all found! ”

"I'm not an immortal, how can I know?"

Mrs. Ning sat down, lit the lamp next to her, and then looked at her quietly: "Bring the box to me." ”

Even if Fu Zhen is reluctant, he can't be disobedient.

When the box arrived in Mrs. Ning's hand, she opened it and took a look, took out the letter inside, and said slowly: "I didn't know you were coming, but I thought you would come."

"After Minzhi left me, he went to find the shopkeeper Su and them, and I will know these things in the next day.

"You two are very persistent and very careful, the bad thing is that I actually took the initiative to mention to you about my grandfather today, and then there was a He Qunying, otherwise, there would be no such things now."

"Mother!" Fu Zhen stepped forward and grabbed her arm, "Now that it's over, are you still going to hide it from me?" How the hell did my grandfather die? If he was killed, then we must avenge him! ”

"I'm afraid you won't be able to avenge this revenge."

"Why?"

Mrs. Ning didn't answer in a hurry, he pulled out a silver hairpin, picked the wick, and then looked at Fu Zhen: "The bloody case in Baiyu Hutong, until now, I only know who the murderer is and what the identity of the deceased is, and no one knows at present, right?" ”

Under the candlelight, her gaze was even deeper, so deep that people suddenly thought of the white jade alley that night was full of blood. (End of chapter)
