Several apprentices inside were busy packing up the medicinal herbs, and when they saw her coming, they immediately said.

"What medicine do you want, this girl?"

"Where's your shopkeeper?"

Hearing this, a middle-aged man on the opposite side who was dialing an abacus looked up.

Seeing that Shen Ruoxi's appearance was pure and gentle, his expression was a little milder at the moment.

"Girl looking for me?"

"Shopkeeper, I just heard that the official sent to check the account book you gave to Wudinghou, and I want to ask the shopkeeper about something."

The shopkeeper squinted instantly.

"What did the girl ask?"

"Don't worry, the shopkeeper, I am more familiar with Mrs. Wudinghou in private, she asked me to come over, she knows that this matter has nothing to do with the shopkeeper, this time I came, just some details, I want to confirm with the shopkeeper."

Hearing this, the shopkeeper hesitated for a moment, and then said.

"You say."

"The medicine given to the prince by the government doctor Du Yishan said that it was all taken from you, did Du Yishan personally come to catch it?"

"That's not it, Dr. Du's legs and feet are inconvenient, and others have always come to get medicine."

Shen Ruoxi asked.

"Really? What is the person who takes the medicine like? Shopkeeper, can you describe the other party's appearance? ”

Who knew that the shopkeeper shrugged his shoulders.

"The people who come to get the medicine are different every time, I remember this clearly, but looking at their appearance, there is nothing strange, it should be Dr. Du's apprentice......

Speaking of this, the shopkeeper paused and then said.

"But once the person who came to get the medicine was a bit unusual."

Shen Ruoxi was puzzled.

"What's not ordinary?"

"That time I came was a very delicate little brother, his words and deeds were very elegant, not like an ordinary little guy, but like a child of a family, so I was more impressed."

Shen Ruoxi said.

"Is that little brother about eleven or twelve years old, relatively handsome, and has a mole under the corner of his right eye?"

"Ah, yes, yes, the girl knows him?"

Hearing this, Shen Ruoxi nodded.

Then he asked.

"He came to get the medicine, did he have any unusual behavior?"

The shopkeeper thought for a while.

"That's not true, that little brother is polite, careful and intelligent, and specially urged us to let us keep the account book, the one who gave him medicine that day was a new apprentice, and he reminded him of the lack of a few dollars of red peony."

The shopkeeper was a little puzzled.

"Girl, why are you asking this?"

"It's okay, thank you for telling the shopkeeper frankly."

Shen Ruoxi smiled, and then went out with peach leaves and cold frost.

As soon as she went out, she quickly got into the carriage.

"Cold frost, turn around, go back to the Hou Mansion!"

*

Hou Mansion.

It was dark.

In the secluded courtyard of the backyard, there was silence.

There were only two candle flames, flickering with a faint glow.

A figure stepped on the night and gently came to the backyard.

With a "squeak".

The door to the firewood room in the backyard was opened.

A faint light came in, alarming the people in the firewood room.

Xu Lingmiao raised her head a little embarrassed, tensing her nerves.

"Who?!"

The door was shut.

Then a candle lit up in the firewood room.

Qin Wenyan's delicate and calm face appeared in the light.

Xu Lingmiao's face was overjoyed.

"Wenyan ......"

"Mother."

Qin Wenyan approached her, and then squatted down.

Xu Lingmiao said anxiously.

"Wenyan, did Madam say let me out?"

Qin Wenyan didn't answer.

It's the Word.

"Mother, thank you today for taking all the blame for me."

Xu Lingmiao was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes were slightly red.

She sobbed.

"Wenyan, I told you a long time ago, let you not harm the world, let's live a good life in the Hou Mansion, okay? The prince is so good to you, and you are so smart, sooner or later you will get ahead......"

"That's different."

Qin Wenyan interrupted her: "Mother, the son of the world is the son of the world after all, and I am just a young master with a name, what will happen in the future, it all depends on the charity of the Marquis of Wuding, obviously I am also the son of Qin Xuan, why is the treatment so bad!" ”

Xu Lingmiao lowered her eyes, and a trace of sadness overflowed in her eyes.

"It's all my fault...... I shouldn't have done that kind of thing when the Hou Ye was drunk, I was the one who caused you to be an illegitimate child......"

"It's indeed your fault, so, mother, it's also what you should do to bear this guilt for me today."

Hearing this, Xu Lingmiao's face turned a little pale.

She felt sorry for Qin Wenyan in her heart.

But when she heard him say that he blamed her, she still shuddered.

"But mother, I really didn't expect that you would be committed to Du Yishan's cripple."

A hint of disgust flashed in Qin Wenyan's eyes.

Xu Lingmiao said in a low voice.

"At that time, he found out that Shizi was poisoned, and he wanted to tell his wife, I was afraid that if my wife found out, you would be in danger at that time, so I ......"

"I know that my mother is for my good, I just don't deserve it for my mother."

"For you, it's worth it for my mother."

Xu Lingmiao grabbed his hand: "But fortunately, Du Yishan didn't say anything today, Wenyan, it's okay if you're fine!" ”

Qin Wenyan sneered.

"I used to see him when he entered the mansion, his eyes glanced at you, and I thought he was interested in seeing the color, but I didn't expect that he was moved by his true feelings, and he was worthy of his appearance? It's disgusting. ”

Xu Lingmiao didn't speak.

It's just that thinking of Du Yishan's maintenance of her today, a trace of complexity flashed in her heart.

She whispered.

"Actually, Dr. Du...... People aren't bad either. ”

"Do you feel sorry for him?"

"It's not."

Xu Lingmiao shook her head.

She just felt ......

felt that Du Yishan was also a poor person.

Xu Lingmiao sighed.

"Now that Madame has let me go, you are safe and sound, Wenyan, don't move your crooked thoughts in the future, stay in the Marquis of Wuding's mansion, let's live a good life, okay?"

"I really shouldn't have those crooked thoughts right now."

Hearing this, Xu Lingmiao relieved her heart.

But I heard Qin Wenyan say: "In the future, you should plan carefully, now it seems that I am still too immature, I am afraid that I will disappoint that nobleman." ”

Qin Wenyan's handsome face was filled with a gloom that did not match his age.

He calculated very well at that time, as soon as Qin Chengxuan died, the position of the prince was empty, and he had a great opportunity.

And he can also use this to throw the black pot to Shen Ruoxi, provoke the relationship between the General's Mansion and the Marquis of Wuding, and add fuel to the fire for that "nobleman".

As a result, Shen Ruoxi didn't know what kind of wind to smoke, so he came quietly.

Let his calculations fall short.

Xu Lingmiao twisted her eyebrows.

"Wenyan, so far, you tell your mother the truth, who is the 'nobleman' you took along?"

"I don't have to know about this, the so-called success and defeat of the king, and the success of big things must be very dangerous, I don't want to live under the fence like this, mother, the position of the son, I must fight."

"Wenyan ......"

Xu Ling Miao couldn't persuade him, and she was a little anxious: "Today you are lucky to escape, but not every time you have such good luck, you are obedient, stay in the Hou Mansion, and your mother will always be by your side." ”

Qin Wenyan seemed to have heard something funny.

"Mother, are you stupid after being stimulated? You are now the murderer of the prince, how can you continue to stay in the Hou Mansion? ”
