Sheng Chong Concubine

Chapter 133 Cause and effect, Pearl's thoughts (3)
"father."

The elder knew what she wanted to ask, so he also restrained his expression.

"Let's talk later." He walked to the window and patted Qiu Mingrui on the shoulder.

"Mingrui, take a good rest these days, don't go to the ground, and let's talk about it after you recover from your injuries."

Qiu Mingrui still nodded.

What a smart person Shen is, she already guessed from the dignified expressions of Qiu Mingyue and the Eldest Master that they might have something to discuss, so she walked over and said, "Master, if you have something to do, go and do it. Mingrui has a concubine to take care of her here." That's it."

The elder frowned, and said softly: "You are not well yet, let the servant girl take care of you."

Shen shook her head, "I don't worry about others."

She is not a fool, there must be something strange about what happened today.If Mingrui was assassinated today, the plan was the first, and the assassination was the second, so he knew that there were no spies around him.How does this make her, a mother, feel at ease?
The elder was silent for a while, and could see her thoughts from Shen's eyes.He pondered for a while, and said: "That's fine. But you have to take care of your body, don't get tired."

Shen smiled, "I know it myself."

The old matriarch is still here, so she can't mess up her words.

The old man nodded, and said to the old lady: "Mother, you are tired too, go back first."

The old lady looked at Qiu Mingrui, a sigh flashed in her old eyes, and she stood up.

"Let's go."

Shangguan Mochen had already gone out when the doctor Chen left. The old matriarch left, and the room that was overcrowded just now was swept away, leaving only Qiu Mingyue, mother and son and the elder.

Qiu Mingyue gave Qiuming Rui a few more words of advice, and then followed the old man to the old man's study.

Qiu Mingyue was a little surprised, but she didn't speak.

"grandfather."

The elder waved his hand to signal her not to be too polite.He sat on top, looking at Qiu Mingyue with shrewd eyes, and then asked: "Who saved Mingrui?"

Qiu Mingyue raised her eyebrows, pursed her lips and replied, "Prince Rong's son." Anyway, she didn't intend to hide this matter from the old man.Firstly, it was unnecessary, and secondly, both Shangguan Mochen and Qiu Mingxuan had seen it.Although they didn't expose her in front of the eldest lady today, it's hard to guarantee that they won't in the future.

Both the old man and the old man were shocked.

"Prince Rong's son?"

Qiu Mingyue nodded, "Yes." She paused, "I don't know why he went to the western suburbs, nor why he saved Mingrui. But he told me that Mingrui was assassinated after jumping off the carriage. And The person who was assassinated was a master of the inner circle."

She confessed to the old man and the old man verbatim, just to let them know the truth.How ruthless and cruel the person behind this is.

Sure enough, the Eldest Master shrank his eyes.

"A master in the big house?"

The old man's squinted eyes flashed a cold light, and then asked Qiu Mingyue again.

"Do you know Prince Rong's son?"

Qiu Mingyue hesitated for a while, then nodded.

"Let's get acquainted."

The old man frowned, "Why?"

Qiu Mingyue said: "The night before returning to Beijing, he was with the Queen Mother at Baohua Temple."

The old man understood in his heart and nodded.

"Then he saved Mingrui because of you?"

The elder frowned, and let out a cry of disapproval.

"Father, you..." The old man's question was a bit of a pun. Qiu Mingyue, an unmarried daughter of a boudoir, was inappropriate to meet a man in private.Fortunately, the queen mother was there that night, so it didn't matter.But today she was riding alone to the countryside alone, if she hadn't been accompanied by Shangguan Mochen and Qiu Mingxuan, she would have lost her good reputation if she met a man in the wild.If it gets out, don't even think about getting married in the future.The old man naturally believed that Qiu Mingyue had nothing to do with Feng Qingli, and the old man doubted the two of them by asking this question, and he felt a little displeased.

The old man glanced at him, but ignored him, his eyes still fell on Qiu Mingyue.

Qiu Mingyue sighed, "Grandfather is too worried. I haven't even met him before today. How can there be any 'friendship'?"

Qiu Mingyue laughed at herself in her heart.What friendship?In this era, apart from relatives, men and women cannot have any special 'friendship', otherwise they are all regarded as giving and receiving in private.According to the etiquette of this era, it is necessary to soak the pig cage.

That night in Baohua Temple, she did not see Feng Qingli, but later he frequently entered and left her boudoir at night, but she could not let anyone know about it.Otherwise, with the conservativeness of the old man, it is estimated that she will be kicked out of the house immediately or sent to the mountain to have her hair shaved and become a sister-in-law.If it was a little better, she would be sent to be Feng Qingli's concubine.

How could she humiliate herself?
The old man didn't ask any more questions, the old man sighed, "Su Wen, the son of Prince Rong, has a weird temper. I didn't expect him to save Ming Rui. It seems that the rumors from the outside world may not be taken seriously."

Qiu Mingyue rolled her eyes in her heart.It's strange if you don't take it seriously.That guy is just an awkward kid with a weird temper and can do anything.Otherwise, he wouldn't always break into her boudoir regardless of the secular etiquette, and propose to her in public.

Thinking of the situation just now, she couldn't help being annoyed.

Damn Feng Qingli, she didn't know how to restrain herself in front of so many people, and she just ruined her innocence.I hope Shangguan Mochen, Qiu Mingxuan and Xue Yuhua won't spread this matter, otherwise she will be ashamed to face others.

However, men who want to come to this world are more polite, dignified men will naturally not intentionally destroy a woman's reputation.As for Xue Yuhua, he didn't keep saying that he wanted to marry him, so he probably wouldn't spread the word about it.

Thinking of this, Qiu Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief.

The old man was noncommittal and asked another question.

"I just sent someone to check the stables."

Qiu Mingyue raised her head, her eyes were cool, and she vaguely understood something.

"Nothing was found." The old man continued.

A hint of sarcasm curled up on the corner of Qiu Mingyue's mouth, and she knew it was the result.

The elder said again: "The coachman who was driving today couldn't bear the severe torture and passed out. When he woke up, he took poison and committed suicide."

"Suicide by taking poison?" Qiu Mingyue sneered, "Dad, do you believe it?"

The old man shook his head, "The doctor has already checked, and the poison has been taken long ago. He was obviously surprised when he died, and he must have been taken advantage of."

Qiu Mingyue's eyes became colder and colder, "I checked the carriage in the suburbs just now, and the shaft and wheels have been tampered with. But after running around, it has already been damaged beyond recognition. I can't find any clues."

"A master in the inner circle..." The old man squinted his eyes, "A master in the inner circle is not something ordinary people can mobilize." The implication is that the person behind this is unusual.
