Lord please be gentle

Chapter 103
In the next few days, Xiao Mei was busy investigating the cause of Wen's death back then, but for a while she lived in seclusion in Xiao's mansion, and became a lady again.

However, because of Nangong Yu, Xiao Mei's status in the Xiao family is not the same as before.Xiao Hongbo visits Tang Shurou who is sick at Hengzhi Court every day, and cares about Xiao Mei by the way.

The father's love that had been buried for 17 years erupted overnight, almost drowning Xiao Mei.

First of all, all kinds of good things from the Xiao family were sent to the Hengzhi courtyard in an endless stream, and they kept rewarding Tang Shurou and Xiao Mei.Especially Xiao Mei, all kinds of gold, silver, jewelry, hairpins, pearls, flowers, silk and satin, almost filled the storeroom. She was allowed to choose her dress, just to dress her up beautifully so that she could marry into Nangong's family.

For this huge misunderstanding, Xiao Mei did not intend to explain and clarify at all, on the contrary, she took advantage of this misunderstanding and did many things that are not convenient to do normally.For example, in the investigation, the degree of cooperation of the witnesses involved also depends on Xiao Mei's current identity and status of the Xiao family.

If her identity and status were higher than Mrs. Qu's, those witnesses would naturally be willing to cooperate.It's just that it's been a long time, and it's difficult to collect evidence and find witnesses, so we have to do it slowly.This went on quietly for some time in the dark, and gradually there were some clues.

It was the New Year's Eve, and when the entire family was busy celebrating the New Year, Duke Wei's mansion suddenly sent some royal tribute items to Zhongjinghou's mansion, which were said to be rewards from the imperial concubines and empresses in the palace.

The gift is affixed to the yellow strip of the imperial seal, with the name and family name on it.Tang Shurou got a jade pillow and two handfuls of jade ruyis, as well as a pot of medicinal wine bestowed by the emperor and two century-old wild ginseng.What Tang Qi received were two imperial fans and two snow rabbit cloaks.There is also a set of exquisite jade carving tea sets, a pot of fine pearls, two seven-tailed phoenix step rocking hairpins, and a short sword inlaid with rubies.Xiao Mei received a silver fox cloak, a large bouquet of red roses, and a delicate sandalwood box containing more than a dozen diamonds the size of soybean grains.Opening the box, those diamonds reflected the bright light in the sunlight, which dazzled people's eyes.

Xiao Mei was taken aback, after all diamonds are really rare in this era, one is already rare, let alone so many.She hurriedly asked the boy who came to deliver the gift: "Is this gift given by mistake?"

The boy was a little puzzled: "This seal is affixed with a surname and name tag, so it is impossible to send it wrong!"

She tentatively asked, "What kind of gifts did Miss Tang get?"

The boy didn't hide anything, and he handed over the list to Xiao Mei for review.

Xiao Mei looked at Tang Qi's gift list, and it was indeed completely different from her own, it was impossible to give it wrong, but it was really hard for her to understand Nangong Yu's thoughts.I thought he had finally found what he wanted in his life, and let go of his fascination with him for a while.But his actions confused her again.

But what Xiao Mei was puzzled by was simply an accident in the eyes of the Xiao family.Especially Xiao Hongbo, who couldn't figure out how Nan Gongyu paid attention to Tang Qi at all.Tang Qi's generous rewards are not inferior to Xiao Mei's, which shows that Nan Gongyu's thoughts on Tang Qi are not inferior to Xiao Mei's.

For this reason, Xiao Hongbo came to Hengzhiyuan to ask Tang Shurou about Nan Gongyu's thoughts on Tang Qi.

"Qi'er Bingxue is smart, and she is dignified and beautiful. It is reasonable for Prince Nangong to favor her." Tang Shurou seemed very calm, but her heart was full of joy.Things went smoother than expected, Nangong Yu really had a heart for Tang Qi, and did not give up on Xiao Mei.

Tang Shurou's eldest daughter Xiao Mei and her natal niece Tang Qi, who were raised by Tang Shurou herself, were both loved by Nan Gongyu, which undoubtedly made Tang Shurou's status in the Xiao family rise rapidly.

These days, maybe the pills given by Xiao Mei helped, Tang Shurou's body has recovered a lot, and her whole body looks radiant.Xiao Hongbo couldn't help but love her even more when he looked at her.

"Benhou knows that these two children were raised and trained by you!" Xiao Hongbo praised Tang Shurou with tears in his eyes: "You have worked hard for you these years, and you have nurtured and trained these two beautiful, dignified and demure children. You are a lady of everyone! My fair lady, a gentleman is so good. It is all thanks to you that they can win the favor of Mr. Yu!" Xiao Hongbo almost cried with joy, and he didn't know how to thank Tang Shurou.

Tang Shurou knew that Xiao Mei was destined to disappoint Xiao Hongbo, but she didn't say anything, just nodded and smiled. "Your Majesty is too much! This is my job as a concubine! Besides, both children are promising!"

"That's right, the two children are indeed promising!" Xiao Hongbo enthusiastically explained to Tang Qi. "Qi'er is your own niece, and it's up to you to arrange her marriage! It is more honorable and honorable to marry into the Nangong family as a concubine than to marry into an ordinary official's family..."

"Qi'er is going to marry into the Nangong family as a regular wife, and she will be Mrs. Wei in the future!" Tang Shurou straightened her body and corrected her reservedly.

Xiao Hongbo was startled, but seeing Tang Shurou's determined expression, he finally understood. "You mean, Young Master Yu treats Qi'er more..."

"Qi'er comes from a famous family, and she is also the eldest daughter of the first wife. She was smart and beautiful since she was a child, and there are countless rich and nobles who have proposed marriages. She is innocent, dignified and generous, and of course she is qualified to be the wife of Mr. Yu!" Tang Shurou said in a firm tone without any hesitation.

Because she has no right to hesitate!If Tang Qi couldn't settle down and marry Nangong Yu as his regular wife, then Tang Shurou would have no way out in the Xiao family.

When Xiao Hongbo finds out that Xiao Mei really married Jun Moxin as rumored, he will definitely be furious.Only by Tang Qi marrying Nangong Yu as the main wife can Xiao Hongbo's anger be dispelled, otherwise there will be no good fruit for her, Tang Shurou.

Looking at Tang Shurou's determined expression, Xiao Hongbo realized later that although it was a bit unsatisfactory, it was better than the expected result.Originally, he hoped that Xiao Mei would marry into the Nangong family as a concubine, but he never thought that Tang Shurou's niece would marry into the Nangong family as his wife, which was a surprise.

"Okay, no matter which one of the two of them is the future Mrs. Wei, they are fighting for the face of our Xiao family!" Xiao Hongbo was very satisfied, and no longer entangled in the matter of who is the wife and who is the concubine. "After the new year, the Marquis will prepare a dowry for them. Qi'er's marriage is up to you! Anyway, there is no one in your natal family!"

These words somewhat showed contempt for Tangmen, but they were telling the truth.The Tang Sect has gradually declined in recent generations, and has never regained its former glory.However, in Tang Qi's generation, she has become a rare leader among the successors of the Tang Sect.But with her marrying into Nangong's family, the Tang Sect is indeed in decline, and there is no way to recover!
Regarding this, Tang Shurou has her own ideas. "If Qi'er can be favored, Nangong Shizi will take over the position of Wei Guogong in the future, and the child born can take one back to the Tang family and inherit the incense of the Tang family."

Xiao Hongbo is not interested in the excitement of the Tang Sect, he is only more interested in whether Tang Qi can marry Nangong Yu as his wife. "The Marquis has prepared some things that girls like and rewarded Qi'er! Let her have a good life and don't miss home! When Mr. Yu has settled on the marriage, just marry from the Hou's mansion!"

*
"Ha, it turns out that I made such a big detour just for the sake of my unrivaled cultivation! Do you think I'm a fool? I gave you 30 years of internal strength, and that has already consumed most of my cultivation. You Still not satisfied! Let me tell you, as long as Ben Gong is still alive, no one will take away my internal energy!"

Snow Bodhisattva's shrill voice echoed repeatedly in the room, like a dying beast.However, such a sharp tone revealed the panic and terror in her heart.Because she knew very well that she was about to lose the unrivaled cultivation she was most proud of in her life.

"Your Majesty, calm down!" Wu Ruyi persuaded sincerely, "Ruyi doesn't want to do this either! But your Majesty will not relax your guard against your Majesty after one day of miraculous power, and nine thousand years old. The heat and poison have invaded the body for too long. Physical injury is not a long-term solution after all. It is better to take the initiative to abolish martial arts and express your sincerity to Nine Thousand Years, and you will be honored again! Don’t forget, you are the famous Snow Bodhisattva, and the world respects you Like a god, how can he not favor you for the concubine who will give birth to the future son of heaven in the future!"

Snow Bodhisattva listened blankly. Although she knew that Wu Ruyi had bad intentions, she knew that abolishing martial arts was indeed a necessary condition to dispel Situ Xian's suspicion.Only in this way can we get rid of the invasion of heat and poison and return to normal life.Otherwise, Situ Xian will definitely guard her like a thief, for fear that she will turn over.

As long as his martial arts are abolished, Situ Xian thinks that she no longer poses a threat to his safety, so he will relax his guard against her.After getting rid of the heat poison, even though she lost her martial arts, she got the glory and wealth she dreamed of.The honor of being under one person and above tens of thousands of people and the right she is most passionate about.

"Mother, your unrivaled martial arts are not in vain! You pass it on to me, and I will protect you. Doesn't it mean that your martial arts are still there? But he doesn't know about nine thousand years old!" Wu Ruyi continued to attack her heart, every word she uttered They all teased the greed in Bodhisattva Xue's heart: "He never thought that I was completely on the side of the empress! Empress, Ruyi can only be on your side! We, grandparents and grandchildren, can only take this Regent's Palace into our bag with the concerted efforts of our grandparents! If I don't stand by your side, who can help me realize such an ambition!"

Xue Bodhisattva calmed down slowly. Although she was very unwilling, she could only agree to Wu Ruyi for the time being.After a long time, she finally showed a hint of kindness. "Ruyi, I know that you are a smart child who knows what is good and what is wrong! You will definitely remember the kindness that I have shown you! That's right, although I have no martial arts, the position of princess is still there, and my true destiny in the future The emperor still wants to call my queen mother, as long as you stand by my side, I will give you everything I have!"

Hearing what Snow Bodhisattva said, Wu Ruyi couldn't help but be overjoyed.She knelt down again, clutching Snow Bodhisattva's skirt tightly, her beautiful eyes showing excitement: "Mother, then pass your whole life to Ruyi! Then do as Ruyi arranges, nine thousand years old Your fever will be cured soon, and your freedom will be restored! Of course, Ruyi will ask for orders to continue serving the empress, but tell him to supervise the empress, so that the safety of the empress will naturally be guaranteed by Ruyi. Also, if the empress Whatever you want to do, whoever you want to kill, Ruyi can do it for you!"

Xue Bodhisattva is not a fool, she knows very well that Wu Ruyi may have a set of arguments in front of Situ Xian, with the same basic purpose.But she can only gamble, and the bet that Wu Ruyi stands on her side will gain greater and longer-term benefits.

Situ Xian is a ruthless person, even if he disobeys some meritorious ministers, he will kill them.Moreover, he was vulgar and obscene, fat and ugly, so it was difficult to attract Wu Ruyi to work for him.

If it was a gamble on who would have the real power of the Prince Regent's Mansion, Wu Ruyi had a better chance of betting on Snow Bodhisattva.

Snow Bodhisattva slowly closed his eyes, and made up his mind. "Ruyi, I'm going to pass on my whole life's cultivation to you... You should cherish your blessings and never forget your kindness!"

"Yes, Ruyi is ordered!" Wu Ruyi was so happy that her delicate body was trembling slightly because of the excitement.

She seems to see that she has become the second Snow Bodhisattva, possessing unrivaled martial arts, but the world doesn't realize it.That way, when the unexpected happens, she can surprise her.

Especially that one!If there are no two hard brushes, even if thousands of troops are dispatched, they will not be able to subdue him.

Wu Ruyi's beautiful eyes sparkled with flames of desire, there was power, wealth, masculinity and one more thing - Jun Moxin!

This man is what she has been dreaming of all her life!She won't be willing to use Yu Xin to replace him all the time!She must have him!When the day she turns Jun Moxin into her boyfriend, kill that fake!

Rong'er looked over at Tang Qi's generous rewards, her face was full of joy.

"Right now, there are rumors everywhere in the Hou's mansion, saying that Miss is the only one who is favored by the son of Nangong, and she will be hired into Wei Guogong's mansion as the future Mrs. Wei!"

Tang Qi leaned against the window and read a book, her expression was calm when she heard the words. "It's just a rumor, you are so happy, you are underestimated!"

"Who dares to underestimate Miss!" Rong'er wrinkled her nose, and said playfully, "Even if everyone underestimates Miss, as long as Nangong Shizi thinks about Miss, that's enough!" As she spoke, she gently fiddled with the pot of pearls. Crystal clear, high-quality image.However, she thought of something, frowned slightly, and said: "I heard that Miss Xiao got a box of gold steel drills, each of which is worth a lot of soybeans..."

Tang Qi flipped a page of the book and said casually, "Haven't you seen Prince Nangong's feelings for Sister Xiao?"

"But Miss Xiao is already married to the Demon Lord!" After finishing speaking, Rong'er realized that she had slipped her tongue, quickly covered her lips with her hands, and looked around.Fortunately, this wing room is relatively secluded, and in the inner room, Tang Qi likes to be quiet, and there are not many people around to serve her.

Sure enough, Tang Qi slightly opened her eyelashes, and then said in a cold voice: "Miss Xiao is still in her boudoir, and her marriage to Jun Moxin is just a rumor. If you talk too much and say things you shouldn't say, that's a shame." Don't use your tongue!"

"Yes, yes, Rong'er knows his mistake!" Rong'er nodded quickly, and whispered: "Don't dare again!"

After all, he paused for 2 minutes, stuck out his pink tongue again, and said with a smile: "So, even if Miss Xiao's reward is more valuable than Miss's, it's useless, she is already a married woman, and she is not qualified to marry Prince Nangong again." Already!"

Rong'er grew up with Tang Qi since she was a child, and the two are as close as sisters, talking about everything.Rong'er Bingxue is smart and has a sharp tongue. Even if Tang Qi scolds her for being naughty sometimes, she doesn't take it to heart.Therefore, knowing that Tang Qi likes to keep a low profile when it comes to marriage, she still can't help but say a few more words.

Originally, Tang Qi thought that she would be displeased when she heard this, but she didn't expect her to ponder for a moment, and just said indifferently: "Do you think it's more honor to be married to Nangong Yu than to be married to Jun Moxin?"

"Isn't it!" Rong'er was a little confused. "Young Master Yu is the eldest son of the Nangong Mansion, the eldest son of the Duke of Wei, and the most important nephew of the noble concubine today. Marrying into the Duke of Wei's mansion as the first wife is a blessing that every woman in the world can only dream of! Mr. Yu has a special liking for the young lady. This is the relationship between you in the past and the present, and others cannot envy you!"

Tang Qi shook her head lightly, and said to herself for a while: "What is Nan Gongyu! It is not him who can really change the world, but Jun Moxin!"

*
Xiao Hongbo was discussing with Tang Shurou how to marry Tang Qi, and was even discussing what kind of dowry to prepare.Over the years, it was the first time that the two had such a common language, and the first time they had endless conversations. When the conversation was in full swing, they heard the maid announce: "Miss is here!"

If it were in the past, Xiao Hongbo would frown when he heard about this sick daughter.But today is not what it used to be, but now he is smiling and happy when he hears it.

"Benhou was thinking about asking how the young lady's health is, and she just came over! Hehe." Xiao Hongbo was talking when he saw Xiao Mei walk in.

"Father!" Xiao Mei saluted Xiao Hongbo respectfully.

Seeing Xiao Mei being so respectful, Tang Shurou's eyelids twitched.She knew that Xiao Mei must be ready to act, otherwise she would not be so polite to Xiao Hongbo.She couldn't help but quietly clenched her fists in her sleeves, her nails almost digging into her palms.

After lying in bed for so long, success or failure depends on it.Of course, even if you lose, there are ways to deal with it!It has to be said that the opportunity Xiao Mei chose was very suitable.Advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended, and the risk factor is the smallest.

"My son, get rid of the courtesy! The flesh and blood of the whole family don't need these false courtesy!" The more Xiao Hongbo looked at Xiao Mei, the more he liked him, but he still saw something wrong.He turned his head and said to Tang Shurou, "Is Meier's illness cured?"

Tang Shurou was already prepared for this, and without changing her face, she still said with a smile: "Mei'er went to Kunlun with Master Miaoxin. Immortal medicine, this illness has been cured by seven or eight percent."

"Oh, God helped me too!" Xiao Hongbo squinted his eyes into a line with joy. "If Mei'er is healthy and can marry into the Nangong family and give birth to a son and a half daughter, my Xiao family will have even more hope!"

Taking advantage of Xiao Hongbo's happiest moment, Xiao Mei said at the right time: "My lord father, do you know how my cold-poisoning disease came about?"

Recalling the past, the smile on Xiao Hongbo's face finally faded slowly, and he sighed and said, "Your mother was originally weak and sick, and she let you go after giving birth. You were born with cold poison..."

"Besides the daughter, father, has anyone heard of a family whose child was born with cold poison?" Xiao Mei interrupted him.

"Uh," Xiao Hongbo thought for a while, and said, "I really haven't heard of a child born with cold poison in other families!"

"How could a person be born with poison? Unless, she was poisoned before!" Xiao Mei didn't believe that Xiao Hongbo didn't suspect Wen Shi's death at all, but he didn't pursue it because he didn't care.

"Ah!" Xiao Hongbo was taken aback, as if he couldn't believe it. "How is it possible! I am dignified and loyal to Jinghou's mansion..."

"Daughter left Zhongjinghou's mansion during this time, not only to follow Mrs. Miaoxin to Kunlun Mountain to study as a teacher, but also to hunt down the real culprit who murdered my mother back then!" Hongbo believes it or not.Anyway, now that she is in the limelight, Xiao Hongbo, who is obsessed with officials, can naturally trust and tolerate her in every possible way.

Xiao Hongbo is a typical snob, and his eagerness for quick success is outrageous.

"Someone murdered your mother!" Xiao Hongbo looked shocked. "how is this possible!"

Xiao Mei was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, clapped her hands, and saw three grey-haired nuns walking in, with timid expressions on their faces, they came in and saluted Xiao Hongbo.

"These nuns include the midwife who delivered my mother back then, the cook who was in charge of the medicinal food in the dining room, and the servant who served my mother!" Xiao Mei pointed at the three nuns and said to her. Xiao Hongbo introduced.

Xiao Hongbo never imagined that Xiao Mei would find all the people who served Wen's side back then. He collected himself and carefully looked at the descriptions of the three nuns. The person who served Wen's side at the beginning.

"You guys, what did you do back then, tell the truth! If you conceal anything, you will be beaten to death with a stick, and you will never be spared!" Xiao Hongbo snapped.

The three nuns immediately knelt down on the ground, touched the ground with their heads, and said in a trembling voice: "I dare not hide anything anymore!"

Xiao Mei looked at them, and said with a sneer: "It's best to tell the truth! After all, you are just doing things for tigers, and the one who really murdered my mother deserves to die! Hurry up and tell the whole story in detail, and don't let my mother go for nothing. Killed by someone!"

Xiao Hongbo heard that her mother was killed one by one, and realized that she might want to play the real game.

This daughter, who has been cowardly and physically weak since she was a child, dared not breathe in front of him.But ever since I fell on the swing in the garden, my temperament changed drastically after waking up, and I always feel like a completely different person.Not only is he tough and eloquent, but he also seems to be well-informed and understands everything.In many cases, it made him a father who was dwarfed by comparison.

From time to time, she was able to do something that frightened him.There are rumors in the world that she was married to Jun Moxin a long time ago, but it is not known whether it is true or not.Xiao Hongbo didn't want to pursue it seriously, he wanted to pretend that he didn't know anything, and he wholeheartedly hoped that she would marry into Nangong's family.

Precisely because of selfishness and greed, Xiao Hongbo turned a blind eye to Xiao Mei's affairs, thinking of fooling her into marrying her for a while, which can be regarded as making the best use of everything.

But now it seems that she is planning to do some earth-shattering things before she gets married, such as investigating the cause of her mother Wen's death.

"Mei'er, this Marquis knows that you are a filial child, but you can't be fooled by some villains because of this. If you listen to greedy words, you will think that your mother was killed by someone! Think about it, your mother is this Marquis. Who has the guts and ability to poison her, the first wife of the Marquis of Zhongjinghou Mansion!" Seeing that the situation was not going well, Xiao Hongbo quickly gave Xiao Mei a vaccination.

Xiao Mei has carefully prepared for these days, how can she be easily dismissed by a few words.Immediately, said: "My daughter has long been suspicious of the cause of mother's death, but she is lonely and weak, and has no way to avenge her. That's why she followed Master Miaoxin to Kunlun for further training, that is, her illnesses were cured, and her illness was cured. After investigating the truth of my mother’s death and going through all kinds of difficulties and dangers, it’s hard to collect all the witnesses and material evidence, doesn’t my lord father even have time to listen to the testimony of the witnesses?”

As she spoke, she looked very sad, trying to cry sadly.

Xiao Hongbo could only hold back, and reluctantly said: "Then say it! But whoever dares to frame a good person with nonsense will be beaten to death immediately with a stick!"

The mention of being beaten to death with a stick several times undoubtedly has an obvious threatening meaning.The three nuns looked terrified, but there was no way out.Because their escape route was already cut off by Xiao Mei.

Anyway, they are all old women in their dying years, and all of them are suffering from illnesses.Xiao Mei made all the arrangements for their families, buying land and houses, so they don't have to worry about livelihood for the rest of their lives.But if they continue to hide it, she will take back those farms and punish their family members for the crime of conspiracy.

Because the Nangong family is so powerful, and she is Nangong Yu's new favorite, it is undoubtedly easy to do these things.

Today's Xiao Mei is not what it used to be, even Xiao Hongbo, the loyal Marquis of Jing who has always disregarded her, treats her politely, how dare these three wives do anything wrong.

Immediately, the three people kneeling on the ground tremblingly revealed that Mrs. Qu poisoned Wen's food back then.Qu Shi was jealous of Wen Shi, so she wanted to get rid of her and replace her.She successively bribed Wen's personal servant, the cook in the dining room, and the midwife who delivered the baby.

The maid poisoned the tea Wenshi drank every day, the cook in the dining room poisoned Wenshi’s daily meals, and the midwife deliberately played tricks during the delivery, causing the weakened Wenshi to lose too much blood and eventually died.

However, Xiao Mei, who survived by chance, has a body of cold and poison. She has been weak and sick since she was a child. The imperial doctor asserted that she would not live to be 17 years old. Xiao Hongbo was very disappointed with this daughter. Just give up on her.

"What, Qu's dare to do these things!" Xiao Hongbo was furious, and then he was a little confused. "Mei'er, don't be instigated by some villain to misunderstand the second lady, she..."

"Father, why don't you tell Mrs. Qu to come and confront her face to face!" Xiao Mei knew that Xiao Hongbo would try his best to protect Mrs. Qu, so she interrupted immediately before he could finish speaking.

Xiao Hongbo hesitated a little, he seemed to know faintly that it was best not to have Xuan Qu come over, otherwise the consequences might be very bad.However, for a while, he couldn't find a reason to refuse.It is only to blame that he was too attentive to Xiao Mei during this time, only thinking of using her to get on the big boat of Nangong Mansion, but forgot that this daughter has changed, usually like a harmless and gentle kitten, but a little bit different. When paying attention, it will show its claws, aiming at the prey is a fatal blow.

He always felt that this time her target was Qu Shi, maybe next time her target would be him.Because, he and the Qu family are basically on the same boat.

Now, the boat has begun to be precarious and precarious.

"Come on, Master Hou's verbal order, tell Mrs. Qu to confront her!" Xiao Mei decisively conveyed the order for Xiao Hongbo.

Xiao Hongbo wanted to say that he never said that he wanted to pass on the Qu family, but he couldn't find a reason to deny it.Because the three witnesses are all here, if he doesn't pass Qu's up for questioning, it seems that he can't justify it.

After hesitating, Mrs. Qu had already arrived.

These days, Mrs. Qu's life is not easy, and she is always worried about the danger of falling out of favor.She was originally favored by Xiao Hongbo the most, and she had the real power of the hostess in Zhongjinghou's mansion.However, none of the four daughters she gave birth to was selected by Nangong Yu or the Dugu family. On the contrary, Tang Shurou's daughter Xiao Mei and niece Tang Qi, who were raised by Tang Shurou, were both favored by Nangong Yu. Above Fuyao, the limelight even overwhelmed Mrs. Qu.

When Xiao Hongbo was in panic all day long, he suddenly announced her to Hengzhi Courtyard, instinctively feeling that it would not be a good thing.He wanted to push the illness away, but because he hadn't seen Xiao Hongbo for many days, he felt flustered and wanted to please him.Coupled with the self-confidence that Xiao Hongbo was favored by others, even if Tang Shurou wanted to play tricks, she might not be able to threaten her.She might be able to take the opportunity to find out the reality of the other party.

Of course, Mrs. Qu didn't go there rashly, but also made some preparations.Not only did she dress up meticulously, but she also brought her four daughters along.This is to remind Xiao Hongbo that she gave birth to four daughters for the Xiao family, and at the same time, it also means to show off to Tang Shurou - I gave birth to four daughters, but you have nothing!
"Hou Ye (Father)!" Mrs. Qu brought her four daughters Xiao Feng, Xiao Yue, Xiao Fei, Xiao Fang, and their personal maidservants, and a large crowd squeezed into the wing room of Hengzhi Courtyard. It made the already not spacious hall look more cramped.

Xiao Mei was the first to speak, and she said with a half-smile: "Father, this Hengzhi courtyard has not been so lively for a long time, the second lady and the four younger sisters came late, there is no place to sit!"

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Feng and the other four sisters were interrupted from their thoughts of getting ready to sit down.

Xiao Hongbo looked at Mrs. Qu angrily, pointed to the three women kneeling on the ground, and asked, "Do you recognize them!"

The three women raised their heads when they heard the words, and looked at Mrs. Qu timidly.

Mrs. Qu was obviously a little surprised, looked at the three women, and suddenly realized something, her face changed drastically.

Xiao Mei is a criminal policeman, and she often interrogates criminals. Of course, she knows how to grasp the psychology of criminals and find a breakthrough in time. "Qu Shi, there are all the witnesses and material evidence, how did you poison my mother back then, hurry up and recruit!"

"What?" Mrs. Qu looked terrified, and instinctively shouted at Xiao Hongbo: "Master Hou, what is the meaning of this, miss!"

Xiao Hongbo looked at Mrs. Qu's terrified look, and couldn't help but think of the love he had with her in the past, and couldn't help feeling a little pity.He pointed to the three wives, and reminded: "I don't know who Meier was instigated by, where did I find these three people, and insisted that they were the mother who served her back then, and the cook." And the midwife! If you look carefully, you might recognize who they are?"

Mrs. Qu was startled, and quickly identified it, knowing what was going on in her heart.She tried her best to pretend to be calm, and even looked puzzled. "I don't know these three women! Besides, I don't know much about the people who served my wife back then, and I don't have any impression. It's been many years, how can I still recognize them! Lord Hou, why did you call these people suddenly? !"

Seeing that her words were decent, Xiao Hongbo didn't show any signs of timidity. He nodded in satisfaction, and said casually: "Mei'er suspected that her mother's death was caused by something strange, so she called these three wives to re-investigate. Clarify the matter and everything will be fine." !"

Xiao Mei saw that Xiao Hongbo was still trying to whitewash the peace, trying to make big things into small things, so she sneered and said, "My mother was poisoned, and I was born with cold poison. The murderer behind the scenes has no conscience. We must find her out today!"

While talking, there was a message from Fu Ding: "Madam Fu Yin's greetings are here!"

Immediately Taozhi came in and reported: "Third Madam, Mrs. Fu Yin sent someone to send a greeting card, saying that after lunch, she would come to visit the Third Madam with the tonic bestowed by the emperor!"

Tang Shurou hurriedly got up to accept the greeting card, and ordered Ziying to write back the greeting card.When she was busy doing these things, she knew very well in her heart that she had nothing to do with the Fu Yin's wife in Yicheng, so she was a little puzzled to come to visit her suddenly.Immediately, she looked at Xiao Mei, and the other party gave her a wink, and she knew it right away.Can't help but secretly sigh, this girl's ability is really getting better and better.

Even though Xiao Mei is completely different from before, but she is the daughter of a boudoir, how could she know the majestic Mrs. Yin, it is probably the face of Nan Gongyu.

Facts can prove that Nangong Yu really has a preference for Xiao Mei.Tang Qi was right, Nangong Yu's affection for Xiao Mei could not be hidden.

Although things are a little messy, I don't know how intricate the relationship between Xiao Mei, Jun Moxin and Nan Gongyu is.But at least for now, Xiao Mei's close relationship with Nan Gong Yu is not a bad thing.Especially at this critical moment, it really has the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort.

The female relatives visited Tang Shurou in private, logically Xiao Hongbo should avoid him, but Xiao Mei grabbed him and refused to let him go. "Suwen Yi Cheng Fu Yin's wife is a heroic character, she doesn't give up to her husband, how can she restrict these worldly etiquette! What's more, the case of my mother's poisoning has to be reported to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, so that the Fu Yin can make a decision. Madam came just in time! "

Xiao Hongbo was terrified, and begged Xiao Mei bitterly: "The family ugliness must not be publicized, this matter must not be known to Mrs. Fu Yin!"

He is depressed in the officialdom, and his colleagues look down on him more and more.If such scandals spread again at this time, it would only make his official situation worse.

Originally, he thought of delaying this matter, or seeing the opportunity to silence all the three women, so that there would be no evidence against each other, so as not to cause embarrassment.At this moment, he found that he had thought things too simply, Xiao Mei would never allow him to muddle things along.

Seeing Xiao Hongbo's chaotic appearance, Xiao Mei couldn't help but sneer in her heart.It seems that being depressed for a long time will indeed wear down one's ambition.The Xiao family used to be the head of the four great families, otherwise Jun Moxin would not have been handed over to Xiao Hongbo.But now it seems that apart from the Ling family that has been exterminated among the four great families, the Xiao family has also gradually faded out of the political circle.

At this time, Xiao Hongbo couldn't stand up at all!

Xiao Hongbo saw Xiao Mei's unyielding look, then looked at Madam Qu who was full of panic, and the three women kneeling on the ground.Finally gritted his teeth, and ordered: "Take Qu Shi down, and interrogate the maid and mother-in-law next to her, whether she poisoned Madam back then!"

　Happy New Years Eve!We are about to bid farewell to the old and usher in the new. I wish you all the best wishes and prosperity in the new year. Ding Wang!
