Chapter 73
tick-tick

tick-tick

In the quiet room, there was only the clear sound of water droplets, and the sound was like a stone drum beating heavily on the apex of everyone's hearts.

not dead!

how come……

Rong Yan's ruddy complexion was as pale as snow, and she stared at Ji Yu with wide eyes. Was she being deceived by witchcraft!

Feeling uneasy, if the person is not dead, then Ji Yu must know who the murderer is!
Qin Yu was suddenly at a loss as to what he was sure of, but something went wrong!He gritted his teeth and stared at his face, why didn't that man stab a few more times!

"Hmm..." Ji Yu groaned in pain, the wound on her abdomen was horrifying, and the blood stopped flowing.

"Yu'er, tell grandma who harmed you! Was it her!" Mrs. Xibo pointed her hand at Xie Qiao.

Ji Yu turned her neck with difficulty and looked at Xie Qiao with complicated eyes, not knowing what kind of mentality she should use to face her.He didn't want her to be a stepmother, and after his father was rejected by her, he felt angry!
In the Wanli Pavilion, she caused herself to fall into the water.But it's not her now, I'm afraid I'm really dead!

"Speak!" Mrs. Xibo urged.

Ji Yu shook her head and said weakly, "No."

The old lady Xibo was afraid that she would be threatened by Xie Qiao, so she comforted her: "Don't be afraid, even if you sue the emperor, grandma will ask you for an explanation!"

Qin Mo was indifferent, with a blank face.

Xie Qiao squinted at Ji Yu, opened his lips and said, "Madam, will Miss Ji protect the murderer? You must know better than me that she doesn't like me."

"Grandmother, Miss Rong, she saved me." Ji Yu's abdominal wound burst into pain, her face was like gold paper, she looked around, her eyes paused on Rong Ning, her brows were tightened, and she was in a trance: "When I was looking for treasures, I When I came to the water pavilion, I didn’t know why my head was heavy, and I lay down to rest in the water pavilion. Miss Rong Wu helped me to rest in the house..." Speaking of this, she seemed to think of something that frightened her, and a strong pain appeared on her face. He held Mrs. Xibo's hand tightly, and his voice trembled: "After she left, a man in a blue silk round-neck robe came in with a dagger in his hand..." At this point, Ji Yu trembled violently. , Pulling the wound, blood flowed out.Breathing heavily, he said, "I ran out, but he chased me and stabbed me in the stomach with a dagger. He dragged me in and put me on a chair, and took away the agate gold lock."

Xie Qiao immediately sprinkled the wound medicine on her wound to stop the bleeding.

Mrs. Xibo hurriedly hugged her face in her arms, and said distressedly: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid!" Facing Xie Qiao, she was a little embarrassed, and glanced coldly at Rong Ning who was stunned: "Miss Rong Wu, why are you Is there any discrepancy between what Yu Er said before? You have concealed the matter, or you are the murderer!"

pat-

The wooden box in Rong Ning's hand fell to the ground in shock, and the contents of the box fell out - a delicate golden agate lock.

The objects on the ground seemed to bite, Rong Ning hurriedly took a big step back, her big flickering eyes were full of panic.

Mrs. Xibo picked up the agate gold lock, with a strange smile on her face: "Sister Yu is attending a banquet today, so she specially put on this gold lock." Turning her eyes, she sneered, "Why did it fall into your hands? "

"No, no, no! I didn't know that the box contained a golden lock, this is the treasure I was looking for..." Rong Ning quickly explained.

Ji Yu pursed her pale and dry lips, and touched her empty neck: "When I came to the backyard, Miss Rong Wu praised my golden locks for looking good."

Rong Ning only felt a chill rushing from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and his limbs felt cold.

She was designed!
Xie Qiao's gaze became colder, and he said mockingly, "Fifth sister, is this how you treat your savior?"

The mocking smile on the corner of Xie Qiao's mouth was like a thorn, piercing heavily on her body.Rong Ning froze in place like a clay or wood sculpture, raised her eyes to catch a glimpse of her furious expression, and her words of defense were choked in her throat.

Rong Yan's clenched hands in her sleeves were loosened, a thin layer of cold sweat broke out on her palms, and she breathed a sigh of relief.He reprimanded: "Fifth Sister, Eldest Sister saved your life, but you bit her back. I haven't seen such a good thing. It's too cruel to harm someone for this golden lock!" Said to Xie Qiao with a look of shame on his face: " Eldest sister, we wrongly blamed you. But at that time, anyone would think you were the murderer."

Xie Qiao sneered in his heart, but ignored it.

Rong Ning turned pale with shock, and suddenly raised her voice: "Second Sister, what are you talking about? I don't even dare to kill a chicken, how could I kill someone?"

"So you ask someone to help." Rong Yan insisted that Rong Ning bought the murderer!
Lan Yang was quite disdainful of Rong Yan's actions, so eager to convict her sister, either because of hatred, or because she was eager to cover up something!
cover……

Lan Yang's eyes flickered slightly, and her maid came back at this moment: "Master, there are no other suspicious people in the mansion except for these ladies and the maids they brought. Only in the kitchen, a vegetable farmer brought in vegetables this morning. The cook is still there Mutter, the food should be delivered tomorrow."

"Have you found out?" Lan Yang's eyes flashed with thought, and he said in a deep voice, "Do you know the appearance of the vegetable farmer?"

Ru Sheng laughed and said, "The slaves and maidservants have inquired clearly. The cook said that the vegetable farmers are a little strange today. They usually wear coarse clothes, but today they are wearing blue silk gowns."

Lan Yang's eyelashes trembled, and his eyes fell on Rong Yan: "Where's the person?"

Ru Sheng said: "I don't know."

Lan Yang sighed deeply, if the murderer had not been caught, Rong Ning might not be able to get rid of her disgust.

Although, she deserved what she deserved!

Mrs. Xibo stared at Rong Ning fiercely, gritted her teeth and said, "Take her away." Then, she looked at Qin Mo and said, "Does the king have any objections?"

There was a senseless expression on Qin Mo's stern face, as if he had nothing to do with him.

The servants of the Xibo Mansion tied Rong Ning behind her back, a chill spread in Rong Ning's heart, and her eyes were filled with fear: "Eldest sister, it's not me! It's the second sister! My mother said that she is marrying the prince now, so let me get closer to her, and let me get closer to her." Act according to the second sister's will. I didn't know the seriousness of the situation, so I said that according to the second sister's instructions."

Xie Qiao was disappointed, and sarcasm flashed in her eyes. After all, she was also doing it for her own interests!

How could he still think that he was innocent, because of helplessness!

Rong Yan was afraid that she knew that she would act cautiously, so she used Rong Ning's weakness to lure her out and give her instructions.After all, Rong Ning came to the Duke's Mansion with her, she might disappear in an accident, so she must come out to look for her.

This time, Rong Yan calculated that she would not believe her hint, so she did the opposite and led her to the backyard of the waterside pavilion.

It's a pity, one hundred secrets and one sparse!
The schedule was too tight, the murderer was afraid of being run over and panicked and only stabbed him once, and she happened to rush over to rescue Ji Yu.

I can't help but rejoice that she knows medical skills.Otherwise, this knife is enough to kill Ji Yu!

The reason why she suspected that Rong Ning was colluding with them was because Ji Yu told her that Rong Ning sent her to the house to rest.

Rong Ning is not a troublesome person, she is not familiar with Ji Yu, so she will definitely not be eager to settle her down.

And she just did this, there must be a demon in every abnormality!

If so—

Seeing that Xie Qiao was indifferent, Rong Ning cried and said, "Big Sister... Big Sister... Ning'er knows it's wrong!"

Xie Qiao sneered in his heart, Rong Ning wanted her to ask Qin Mou to protect her!
Rong Yan's face was pale and pale. She didn't expect Rong Ningpan to bite her, and said through gritted teeth, "What nonsense are you talking about? I have no feud with Miss Ji, and I am not greedy for her money. Why did you hurt her? Besides, although you are murderous, Miss Ji doesn't care about you." You are not dead. Madam Xibo will definitely not take your life, and I will definitely ask the prince to save you when I return to the East Palace!" The tone of the last two sentences was a little bit more serious.

Rong Ning looked at Rong Yan with tears all over her face, struggle flashed in her eyes.

"Take it away!" Mrs. Xi Bo said coldly, and then ordered people to carry Ji Yu back to the mansion.

Seeing that they were about to leave, Rong Yan let out a long breath.Suddenly, he opened his eyes wide and looked towards the door——

A man in a blue silk round-neck robe with Lan Yu buckled back came in and kicked his foot, causing the man to kneel down on the ground.

Seeing Rong Yan's pale face in shock, Qin Yu knew something was wrong——

"Miss Ji, he was the one who killed you?" Xie Qiao walked to the man's side and stood still.

Ji Yu looked sideways, her complexion paled instantly, and she said emotionally, "It's him! It's him!"

The man was taught a lesson by Lan Yu, who pulled out his hard bones, and did not quibble any more.Lai Lai tremblingly said: "It's not me, I was instructed by someone." She looked up and saw Rong Yan, her eyes lit up, as if she had caught a life-saving straw: "Di Liang, help me!"

Rong Yan's gaze changed, and she panicked: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Liang Di, you want me to kill this person, you said that you will save my life if the deeds are revealed."

"I don't know you at all, how could I let you kill someone?" Rong Yan looked up at Xie Qiao, and said with a sneer, "You all joined forces to frame me!"

Qin Mo's patience had already been lost, and he was fighting with each other, causing his forehead to twitch.Immediately, he kicked the bloody dagger on the ground in front of the man.

The man was so frightened that he sat paralyzed on the ground, then he heard Qin Mou pointing at Ji Yu, pursed his lips and said, "How do you treat her, how do you return it to her?" The king of the county spares your life!"

Rong Yan was flustered, and said sternly, "How dare you—"

Without any hesitation or struggle, the man picked up the dagger on the ground and stabbed it into Rong Yan's abdomen.

Rong Yan's eyes were wide open, looking at the dagger in her abdomen, her face twitched violently, and she fell to the ground in pain.

Qin Yu's legs were weak, and Lan Yue beside her supported her firmly.

A sneer twitched at the corner of Qin Mo's lips, glanced at the crowd and said, "If you dare to play her tricks, the end will not be so simple!"

Old Mrs. Xibo touched Qin Mou's evil eyes, her heart trembled, and she opened her mouth.Mrs. Siebe next to her hurriedly tugged on her sleeve and shook her head.

When the matter subsided, Qin Mo kept his word and let the man go.

Xie Qiao didn't pursue it. Since he wanted to let him go with thunderous means, he must have other purposes.

"Why did they choose to attack Ji Yu? Just because I had a feud with her?" Xie Qiao felt that it was impossible. There must be a deeper relationship, which she has not yet noticed.

Qin Mo sneered, "Concubine Shu is Ji Yu's aunt."

Xie Qiao was taken aback.

When the queen and the prince designed her, Concubine Shu also participated in it.Later, because the prince was grounded and King Yan was favored, the queen and concubine Shu turned against each other.

After quickly searching for news about Ji Yu in his mind, Xie Qiao suddenly realized.Ji Yu is engaged to the second son of General Dingguo, so she wins over General Dingguo for King Yan.Once Ji Yu died, the alliance between the two families would definitely fail, and if she was successfully framed, then she would definitely have an enmity with the Dingguo General's Mansion.

Thinking of this, cold sweat broke out on Xie Qiao's back.

Just as Qin Mo was about to speak, when he saw Princess Lanyang in front of him, he didn't say any more.

Lan Yang lifted his chin coldly, a smile flashed across his red lips, and said to Qin Mo: "Today I saw you do something human!"

Qin Mo showed displeasure.

Lan Yang's eyes moved, and he said meaningfully: "This bit of humanity, I wonder if it has won the hearts of the beauties?" He reached for his chest.

Qin Mo turned sideways to avoid it, and said in a deep voice, "Be more reserved, your words are harsh, and you don't have any femininity at all. No wonder you scare away your fiancé-in-law."

Lan Yang stared, then blinked suddenly, and said ambiguously, "Do you know what femininity is?"

The corners of Qin Mo's eyes drooped, and her thin lips were pursed tightly.

Inexplicably, I remembered the soft touch in my hand that day and night.His eyes fell on her waist, and his heart swayed, the palms of his hands were as hot as fire.

It was rare for Qin Mo to be deflated, so Lan Yang laughed out loud and walked away.

Xie Qiao looked at Lan Yang's back, but she was a woman with a real temperament, who dared to shave her beard in the tiger's mouth!

Immediately, he looked at Qin Mo thoughtfully, and felt a faint glow in his deep eyes.

Qin Mo looked away calmly, and said coldly: "She is a lunatic, don't imitate her!"

Xie Qiao asked curiously, "Why did her fiancé run away?"

Qin Mo didn't want to pay attention to her gossip at first, but now she saw her cold and bright eyes looking at him curiously, his figure was clearly reflected in her eyes.With a slight movement in her heart, the coldness between her brows and eyes disappeared, and she said concisely: "She caught her fiancé in the brothel and beat him up."

heroic!

Xie Qiao gave Lan Yang a thumbs up in his heart, women of this era, this behavior is indeed out of line, but it is very pleasing to the hearts of the people!
"My fiancé dares to visit the brothel, and he will definitely teach him a profound lesson, making him regret coming to this world." Xie Qiao shook his head, but casually said that her beloved is still nowhere!
"No." Qin Mo stared at the faint smile on her face, stretched out his hand, and caressed her cheek mysteriously.

Start with a fine piece, like a fine fat jade.

Xie Qiao's face became hot, his big palm was as hot as if it was going to burn her cheeks, and the smile froze at the corner of his mouth.When he came back to his senses, he hurriedly took a step back and remained silent.

Qin Mo's hand was half raised in embarrassment.

Xie Qiao didn't think deeply about his actions. He touched his cheeks to defuse the embarrassing atmosphere, and said with a slight smile, "Is there something dirty?"

"No."

Annoyance flashed across Qin Mo's deep eyes, and she touched her face frivolously for some reason.

Xie Qiao was stunned.

Qin Mo didn't explain at all, and took Xie Qiao to the study to review the official documents.

Holding hot tea, Xie Qiao looked at Qin Mo who was writing vigorously behind the desk, and vaguely understood the reason for his abnormal behavior.She is not ignorant of men and women. In her previous life, she also had two boyfriends, but she was immersed in academics and ignored them before she died.

Every time we met for dinner, it seemed like a routine, and we dispersed after the meal.

He may not even understand why he did this, but he did it unconsciously.

Xie Qiao never thought that Qin Mo would be a life partner, and some of his actions would make her heart warm, but he was not her ideal partner after all.

Dictatorship, overbearing!
She needs more respect.

Before you know it, the sunset is on the west mountain.

Lan Xing came back and said: "This man's name is Li Xu, and he is the guard of the gambling house. His subordinates followed him all the way. He was very vigilant, and he walked half the city before entering the teahouse."

"Which teahouse?" Xie Qiao cheered up.

"The Yongping Teahouse in the alley across the street from the Moguan building."

The scene of the eldest lady wearing a curtain suddenly flashed in Xie Qiao's mind, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and he restrained his thoughts.

"What's wrong?" Qin Mo looked at Xie Qiao's expression, she seemed to have a clue.

Xie Qiao shook her head, she wasn't quite sure.Glancing at the sky, he got up and said goodbye.Walking to the door, there was a sudden pause in his footsteps: "I'm afraid I won't be free in the next few days, if you have anything to do, go directly to Lan Yu."

Qin Mou's eyes gradually darkened, and he opened his calloused palm.Vaguely, he felt that this was an excuse.

Angry?
Qin Mo couldn't figure it out.

Depressed in my heart, I couldn't help but write down the matter tactfully and ask Princess Lanyang for advice.

However, what he got in exchange was the merciless ridicule of Princess Lanyang!

As soon as the sky was bright, Qin Mo asked Lanyu Xie Qiao's whereabouts, and learned that Xie Qiao had an appointment with Jiang Pei early in the morning.

-

Xie Qiao plans to replant the back mountain of Hantan Temple's other courtyard with medicinal herbs.

But her piece of land was far from enough.

Hai Ye inquired about it, and it happened that the connected mountain land happened to be under the name of Jiang's family.

Xie Qiao invited Jiang Pei out to Yongping Teahouse.

"The teahouse is simple, but quiet." Xie Qiao explained why he invited him to the small teahouse.

Jiang Pei didn't care, twisted his wide sleeves with one hand, and poured tea for Xie Qiao with the teapot in the other: "Elegant."

Calligraphy and paintings are hung everywhere in the private room. Xie Qiao is making tea with his sleeves rolled up.

Jiang Pei's eyes were as clear as glass, and there was a slight smile, watching her make tea with elegance, and the elegant and light fragrance drifting from the water mist to the tip of her nose, she felt at ease.

Xie Qiao offered tea to Jiang Pei with both hands.

Jiang Pei's eyes flashed, and he took it with both hands: "I don't know what is the important thing for Miss Xie to invite Jiang?"

Xie Qiao was straightforward: "I have a courtyard under the mountain of Hantan Temple. The climate there is different from other places. It is cool and humid, suitable for planting some medicinal herbs. I want to ask Mr. Jiang to cut his love and sell that mountain to me."

Jiang Pei was silent.

Xie Qiao drank his tea with downcast eyes, his face indifferent.But she was extremely nervous inside, she was afraid that Jiang Pei would disagree!

After all, she was too abrupt.

However, her intuition told her that Jiang Pei should agree.

Sure enough, after thinking for a long time, Jiang Pei put down his teacup, his eyes glowed with luster under the infiltration of water mist, and said in a clear voice: "That mountain is the first piece of land I bought as an imperial merchant, and I want to build another courtyard to escape the summer heat. , but I was busy with too many things and never broke ground. Now you propose that if I am not beautiful, I will not be a gentleman nowadays. However, I have one condition. "

"Mr. Jiang said bluntly, if I can do it, I will definitely help." Xie Qiao was overjoyed in his heart, secretly thinking that Jiang Pei is a straightforward person.

Jiang Pei chuckled lightly.

Xie Qiao was bewildered by his smile, she was as beautiful as a jade, and she was charming with a smile.Seeing it today, it's true, all the flowers competing for beauty under the window are overshadowed by his smile.

Both he and Yu Qinglansheng have a face that is more beautiful than a woman's, but they are beautiful differently.

Jiang Pei's beauty was tinged with coquettishness, and the cinnabar tear mole at the corner of his eyes looked sinister, but against the background of his simple green shirt, his indifferent and transparent temperament seemed like an outsider.

The beauty of Yuqinglan is like a frosty white flower on the top of a mountain, cold and aloof, extraordinary and refined.

"Circle a piece at the foot of the mountain and leave it for me as another hospital." Jiang Pei's smile was fleeting, and he said gently: "The small medical clinic run by Miss Xie does not need to grow medicinal herbs in a large area. Is this a plan to sell medicine?"

"What's Mr. Jiang's opinion?" Xie Qiao saw him take the initiative to mention it, and sat upright.

"As far as Jiang knows, the medicinal materials in the capital are all supplied by a drug dealer surnamed Ji in the south of the Yangtze River, including the army, the palace, and major medical centers. If you want to get a share of it, it may not be easy." Jiang Pei suggested: "You have to come and visit."

Xie Qiao was taken aback, he didn't expect that the medicinal materials were monopolized!
If Jiang Pei hadn't reminded her, if she acted rashly, she might offend others!
His eyes flickered slightly, and he was also supplying the medicine in the army, so if she proposed that Qin Mou buy her medicinal materials, has she already offended someone secretly?
My heart sank slightly, if so, I'm afraid I have to visit her as soon as possible!
"Thank you Mr. Jiang for reminding me today, otherwise I would offend someone and not know it." After being analyzed by Jiang Pei, Xie Qiao felt that the drug dealer was the breakthrough point, and it was not as simple as she thought!
"It's just a hands-on effort."

Xie Qiao and Jiang Pei went to the other courtyard of Hantan Temple together, asked someone to enclose the land that Jiang Pei wanted, and agreed to get the land deed three days later.

Lan Yu inquired about Ji Yunzhu's whereabouts, and when he learned that he happened to be in the capital during this period, he sent a greeting card to visit.

Ji Yunzhu closed the door and disappeared.

Xie Qiao's eyes changed slightly, he looked at the greeting card in his hand, sighed softly, and put it aside.

After tidying up, take a carriage to Yongping Teahouse to meet Jiang Pei.

Jiang Pei changed his mind and suggested: "I won't sell you the mountain." Xie Qiao's face changed suddenly, and he said slowly: "I am quite optimistic about the prospects of the drug dealer. I don’t know anything about it, so I put the plan on hold. I’ve thought about it for a few days, and I’ll provide the land, and you’ll take care of everything else by yourself, three to seven points.”

Xie Qiao was startled, and turned his worries into joy!If Jiang Pei intervened, then Ji Yunzhu would have to step in.

"I'm seven, you three." Jiang Pei also drew up the contract: "If you agree, you can put your fingerprint on it."

The smile on Xie Qiao's face froze, and he pushed the contract into Jiang Pei's hands: "I will not sign an unequal contract."

Jiang Pei's lips lifted slightly, and he looked at Xie Qiao leisurely, and said slowly: "You see Ji Yunzhu being rejected by the door, and you can foresee the result of your single-handedly becoming a drug dealer. Although you have to put in effort to get some medicine seedlings, the contacts I give are beyond your capabilities Compare."

Xie Qiao's hands under the table were tightly gripping the skirt, his face gradually turned pale.

"Strength and skills can be seen everywhere, but contacts rely on accumulation and maintenance. Miss Xie must understand this simple truth." Jiang Peiqian took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Businessmen value profits, I don't do business at a loss."

Xie Qiao knew that if she was a smart person, she agreed to cooperate with him.

However, she was dissatisfied with being exploited.

"Five to five points!" Xie Qiao's eyes returned to calm, and he said calmly: "There is no harm in cooperating with Mr. Jiang. You have your connections, and I also have mine. Although they are not as good as you, it is not impossible to do it alone. !" Even if she is not working as a drug dealer in Dazhou, she has cooperated with Haiye and has opened overseas routes.When her foundation matures, it is not impossible to negotiate with Ji Yunzhu!
Jiang Pei looked at Xie Qiao probingly, as if he wanted to get to know her again.

After a long time, he backed down and said, "June [-]th."

Xie Qiao wrote down his name with a pen, stretched out his hand and said, "Happy cooperation!"

Jiang Pei stared at the slender hand she stretched out, with a faint glint in his eyes.

The atmosphere in the private room was suddenly delicate.

Xie Qiao came back to his senses and realized that there was no handshake here.Withdrew his hand in embarrassment, and said with a smile: "Shaking hands conveys a kind of friendship, trust and congratulations."

Jiang Pei raised his eyebrows, as if he was surprised by her statement.

Suddenly, reach out.

Xie Qiao was startled, staring at his slender, white hand with well-defined knuckles, and took it.

"Happy cooperation." Jiang Pei's eyes were full of smiles.

"Bam—"

The opposite window slammed shut with a loud bang.

Jiang Pei smiled even wider.

Xie Qiao looked over, and suddenly his eyes paused, and they fell on a corner, the light in his eyes gradually deepened, and a dark light flashed across.

-

East Palace.

Rong Yan's face was pale due to excessive blood loss, she was still weak after several days of recuperation.

The prince only met her in a hurry when she was sent back. Hearing that she had made such a big mess, he angrily reprimanded her and left.

Rong Yan covered the wound on her abdomen with her hands, her eyes burst out with intense hatred!

Qin Mo——

How dare he treat her like this!
"Come on! Come on!" Rong Yan's angry voice echoed in the empty hall, "Where did they all die!"

"What a temperament!" The queen walked into the palace, heard Rong Yan's angry shout, and said angrily: "A lowly concubine yelling in the East Palace, how decent is it!"

Rong Yan's complexion changed, she did not expect the Queen to come to the East Palace.Struggling to get up and salute, but the abdomen can't use half of the strength at all, and the pain is so painful that the complexion is distorted.

The queen saw her pretentiousness, her brows trembled slightly, and her anger burst out: "I turned a blind eye to what happened to you before. I thought you could correct your mistakes. When you marry into the East Palace, you always think about the prince. Duty. But I didn't expect that not only did not know restraint, but also instigated the prince to do stupid things together!"

Rong Yan's heart trembled when she heard these words, tears rolled down her face: "Mother, I don't have a concubine, everything I do is for the crown prince."

"shut up!"

The queen was furious, and a sharp look flashed in her eyes: "You are doing it for your own selfish desire! Putting the prince in danger! You know, what you did in the county palace made the prince despise the emperor!" She thought of the emperor's visit to Weiyang Palace today. After reprimanding her, I can't wait to expose Rong Yan's face!
Qin Mo collected all kinds of crimes against the prince, and the emperor ordered the opening of the state treasury to conduct a thorough investigation.

Now the prince is very busy, and the pile of bad debts still cannot be settled.

It is a shame that there is not so much silver to fill the vacancy.

The emperor's words about abolishing the crown prince were deeply etched in her mind, and she couldn't get rid of them.Fingers with fingertips brushed Rong Yan's face, and said coldly: "If the prince is useless, just wait!"

The cold fingertips slid across her face, like a cold poisonous snake spitting out snake letters and swimming across her face, her whole body trembled, and fine and dense goose bumps appeared.

The queen's hands used force, a scratch was left on Rong Yan's face, she gritted her teeth, not daring to cry out in pain.

Until the queen led the people away, Rong Yan seemed to come back to life, her whole body was drenched in sweat, exuding a trace of coolness.Recalling the queen's words, Rong Yan struggled to get up and look for the prince regardless of the pain in her abdomen.

With disheveled hair, he ran out with embroidered shoes indiscriminately, walked to the gate of the hall, and was stopped by someone.

"Get out of the way!" Rong Yan's brows were full of hostility.

"The queen has an order that Concubine Liang is not allowed to step out of the East Palace."

Rong Yan screamed in disbelief: "Impossible! I want to see the prince! Let go, I want to see the prince!"

The servant hurriedly went to report to the prince, but the prince said without raising his head: "Send her back to the Fuguo Duke's mansion, and bring her back when I get through this difficult time!" The prince's eyes flashed with disgust: "Tell her to recover from her injuries, Don't think too much about it."

The servant brought the crown prince's words to Rong Yan, and Rong Yan packed her things and returned to Fuguo's mansion without making a fuss.

Seeing that Rong Yan came back without warning, the lady was shocked: "Why are you back?"

Rong Yan told the eldest lady about the current situation of the prince, and the eldest lady did not expect to harm the prince. "Don't worry, mother will think of a way." He took out a box from under the bed, which contained a box full of bank notes: "These were originally saved to pave the way for your brother in the future, and he doesn't need them now, so I'll leave them to you." Help the prince tide over the difficulties."

The Da Furen took Rong Yan to seek help from Mrs. Zhu, when she heard that she came here for money, she immediately lost face: "How much respect can I have? It's all used for your sisters to add makeup."

Rong Yan knew that Zhu Shi was not willing to help.

Suddenly, Mrs. Zhu seemed to think of something, and said to the lady: "I heard from the master that day that Rong Hua once said that although Mrs. Li is her biological mother, she only has one daughter. But Mrs. Wei married Rong Que and Mrs. Li. Li's family is sisters, and the children they gave birth to are also Li's children, and everyone has a share of the dowry. So she divided the dowry into three parts, and donated her own part, leaving Jin Geer and Sister Yan The son stayed behind."

Da Furen and Rong Yan looked at each other, their eyes flashed, but they held back, not believing that Xie Qiao would be so kind.

"Of course, the premise is that Mrs. Li sets up a memorial tablet and enters the grave of the ancestors." Mrs. Zhu leaned tiredly on the big welcoming pillow, her body was hot, and Mammy Cao played a fan beside her.

Hearing this, Da Furen believed it somewhat.

Mrs. Li didn't set up a memorial tablet, and there is another lonely grave in the wilderness, and if he goes to hell, he will be a lonely ghost!

It makes sense for Xie Qiao to divide the dowry in order to let Li's identity be corrected.

However, thinking of letting Li's memorial tablet be erected in the ancestral hall to enshrine, she would kneel down every year to worship, and she couldn't help feeling in her heart.

Rong Yan begged with eyes open.

The eldest lady finally compromised.

As soon as the two got together, they went to Chonghua Building to find Xie Qiao.

Xie Qiao was lying on the beauty's couch with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, but Rong Yan still had the face to look for her.

Under Xie Qiao's gaze, Rong Yan lowered her head.

With a smile on her face, the eldest lady said kindly: "Sister Hua, I have something to discuss with you today. Your mother Li's name has been crossed out in the genealogy, and you are also at the age of marriage. Her. I was thinking about setting up a memorial tablet for her... After so many years, no matter how big the hatred is, I persuaded your father to move her into the ancestral grave."

Xie Qiao raised his eyebrows, waiting for her next words.

The smile on Da Furen's face could hardly hold back, it was because of Rong Yan that she reluctantly agreed to move Mrs. Li in.It was supposed to be Xie Qiao who begged her, but now she begged Xie Qiao to agree to move Mrs. Li in.

"Choose an auspicious day to break ground, what do you think?" Da Furen asked cautiously.

Xie Qiao sneered, "There is no need to mobilize the crowd."

"It's okay, the eighth day of this month is a good day, so we choose this day?" Seeing Xie Qiao's indifferent appearance, the eldest lady gritted her teeth with hatred.She clearly did it on purpose!If you don't want to move the Li family in to rectify your name, why do you still have to say that to the old man?
Xie Qiao was very embarrassed: "Isn't it good? Mother, she is used to being single, and you will bow down to her in the future, I'm afraid it will disturb her."

Da Furen twitched her cheeks, clenched her fists, and suppressed her anger: "Sister Yan and Brother Jin are also her children, so it is only natural to kneel down and be filial."

"Are you really not reluctant?" Xie Qiao seemed a little moved, and asked hesitantly.

The eldest lady became cruel, nodded and said: "It is their blessing to have a mother like Li Shi."

Xie Qiao sneered in his heart, isn't that a blessing?You can get a sum of money by kneeling down!
"I don't think it's necessary. Since the eldest lady is so ardent and enthusiastic, if I refuse to be too sympathetic, I'll let you do it." Xie Qiao thought for a long time, and reluctantly agreed.

Hearing this, Da Furen almost gritted her teeth!
……

After the matter was decided, the eldest lady persuaded Rong Que to agree.

In order to show her sincerity, the Daoist asked the Taoist priest to test Fengshui to find a good cemetery.

Immediately afterwards, he asked the master to perform deeds to surpass Li Shi and do his best.

Finally, on the eighth day of the lunar new year, the Li family was moved into the ancestral grave according to the procedure, and he and his children knelt down to worship.

After it was over, the eldest lady breathed a sigh of relief.He was also afraid that Xie Qiao would turn his back on what he said, so he refused to take out the dowry.

Xie Qiao seemed to have read the thoughts in her heart, and the corner of his mouth raised slightly: "The dowry will be delivered to the Peony Court later."

The lady's heart dropped.

The third wife on the side was so jealous that she looked at the boxes of dowries carried into the peony courtyard, and she was extremely jealous.

Afterwards, all the dowry went to the East Palace, and she didn't get any benefit in order to help the prince offend Xie Qiao, and she was so angry that her heart ached.

The third master came back from the outside, took off his outer robe and cleaned his hands, glanced at the sulking Deng Shi, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Mrs. Deng explained the matter of the big house, and said angrily: "Mr. Wei and Rong Yan plotted against Rong Hua like that. Rong Hua was lucky, and even gave them Mrs. Li's dowry. You don't know, they carried boxes of them in." If I hadn't been blinded by lard and believed the prince's words for a moment, these things should belong to us!" At that time, she showed her kindness to Xie Qiao, and Xie Qiao obviously had his heart towards her.

Sorry for the first time!

The third master comforted Deng Shi and said: "Okay, the left and right are the big house's affairs, let them toss about it, what do we care about?"

Deng Shi hated iron but said: "You really are an elm lump!"

The third master shook his head, seeing that Mrs. Deng didn't listen to the persuasion, he didn't say anything, and went to the study.

Stand in front of the bookcase, take out a book and stand in front of the window to read.The servant girl's comments came from outside the window: "Do you think the eldest lady is stupid? The eldest lady and the second lady hated her deeply, and they were willing to move the late wife into the ancestral grave just to conceal her dowry. Otherwise, how could they be willing to let go?" ? If I were the eldest lady, I would take this opportunity to ask to recognize my ancestors and return to my ancestors, which is justified! lest the dowry fall into their hands and drive her out of the house."

"Yes! The eldest lady is willing to let go, it seems that the second young lady is in trouble and needs a large amount of money." The voice paused for a moment, looked around, and then whispered: "I heard that the dowry will be carried into the East Palace tomorrow morning. "

"You bastard, hide here and be lazy! You've been sneaking around all day long, and don't work hard. I'll catch you next time and peel off your skin!" The voice of the nurse in charge came, and the two maids hiding in the corner came together. coax away.

The third master stood still for a moment, not even half of the words on the book caught his eye.

"Master, are you still going out tonight?" The boy lit a candle and asked.

The third master closed the window, sat in the grand teacher's chair, and said peacefully: "I'm not going." Picking up a clean rice paper, he insisted on controlling it, and frowned, "Where's the elder brother? Is he in the mansion?"

The long follower replied: "The elder is out for a drink, and he hasn't returned home yet."

"Okay, you go down." The third master wrote a letter with a sinking heart, staring at the jumping flames in a daze.After a long time, I put out the candle, got up and went out.

The night is as cool as water, and the evening wind blows the branches and leaves making sounds.

Rong Que returned home full of alcohol, and walked towards the Moon Silver Pavilion.

Suddenly, I heard two servant girls standing together and whispering to their ears: "I will redeem myself and leave the house tomorrow, and I will tell you one thing, don't walk in the wind."

"what's up?"

"Stay away from the big room in the future." Seeing her puzzled, he lowered his voice and said, "One day when I was on duty at night, I was anxious and afraid of the dark, so I didn't go to Gong's room, and only relieved myself in the small bamboo forest behind the yard. Seeing the lady approaching wrapped in a cloak, I was so scared that I almost peed my pants and quickly hid. From a distance, I saw a tall figure hugging the lady. I kept this matter in my heart, for fear of being discovered. So save up enough money to redeem yourself immediately.”

"how is this possible?"

"What's impossible? At the beginning, the second lady said that the second lady is now sixteen! Maybe the eldest lady is behind her back..."

"Don't talk nonsense!" The servant girl was afraid of being overheard, so she hurriedly pulled him away.

Rong Que's complexion turned from red to blue, and he walked towards the peony courtyard angrily!
