National color medical concubine

Chapter 74 The Truth
Peony Courtyard, the lights went out.

Grandma Liu stood guard at the door.

Rong Que came over with a livid face, and Madam Liu turned pale with fright, and stood in front of the door and said, "Master, Madam is already asleep." He wondered why Rong Que came to the Peony Court tonight?He has been in Yueyin Pavilion during this period of time, what kind of wind brought him here today?

"Get out of the way!" Rong Que pushed Mammy Liu away.

Nanny Liu threw herself in front of the door, and opened her arms to stop Rong Que from pushing the door: "Master, you can't help it, Madam will sleep with Second Miss tonight. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to go in—"

bang——

The door has been pushed open.

Nanny Liu slumped on the ground, not daring to stop Rong Que anymore.

Rong Que stepped in, and the room was pitch black, illuminated by the silver-white moonlight through the wide-open door.The night wind blows the veil and flutters, shadowy, but there is no sign of the eldest lady!

Rong Que said angrily: "Where is the person? Are you sleeping?"

Grandma Liu saw that he was not kind, so she remained silent.

Rong Que stared at him, suddenly remembered the conversation of the maids, turned around and walked towards the backyard.

The noise here startled the sleeping servant girl, she hurried out, saw Liu Mama chasing after the Elder Master with a miserable expression, she followed closely without knowing where she was going.

In the small bamboo forest, the bamboo branches swayed and rustled in the wind.

Rong Que took advantage of the moonlight to see two figures deep in the bamboo forest.

The sound of dry bamboo leaves being stomped startled the two of them, and the tall figure turned around and ran away.

The lady was about to run after her——

Rong Que shouted angrily: "Whoever allows you to leave, stop for me!"

This sound was like thunder on the ground, the Da Furen turned pale with fright, turned around and looked at Rong Que staring at her with red eyes, the angry fire in his eyes seemed to burn her!

Seeing that the adulterer had already run away, Rong Que said coldly, "Where is he?"

"Who is it? What are you going to do?" The lady's heart trembled, she could see that the person had already left, and immediately said: "The person was a thief just now, I came to capture him, but I was scared by you, so he ran away !"

Rong Que was furious, and with one hand he tore off the robe that was draped over her shoulders, and threw it on her face: "A thief? I think it's your adulterer!"

The eldest lady looked at the man's robe that had slipped to her feet, and trembled all over with fright: "Master..."

Rong Que sneered and said: "It's really hard to change your temperament! You seduced me into the account before you left the court, and you know that you are a bitch who can't stand loneliness and doesn't obey women's morals!"

The lady gritted her teeth and trembled, pointing at Rong Que with trembling fingers, unable to utter a word, she was so angry that she almost fainted.

"Master!" The eldest lady's face was blue and red, and she said coldly: "What can you say with just a robe? These years, how have I done anything wrong to you? You humiliate me like this!"

"Back when I had a secret relationship with you, you were pregnant. Thinking about it now makes me suspicious, Rong Yan may not be my daughter!" Rong Que turned a deaf ear to her words and opened up old accounts.

Da Furen's face changed instantly, the situation Li suffered is now repeating itself on her body...

Who knew that he was cruel and ruthless, but what happened to her was unbearable.

"They don't look like me at all, are they the bastards you secretly gave birth to?" Rong Que looked straight at her like a knife, trying to see the clue from this aging face.

"It doesn't matter if you humiliate me, why are you talking about Sister Yan and the others? You are cutting my heart with a knife and trying to force me to death!" The eldest lady beat her chest in pain.

"Why don't you die?" Rong Que said ruthlessly, the Da Furen's appearance of tears, lost the charming and charming in the past, made him disgusted: "Mother Liu!"

Nanny Liu trembled all over, and looked up at Rong Que.

"Let me ask you, are Rong Jin and Rong Yan the bastards that she and her concubine secretly gave birth to?" Rong Que asked Liu Mama with a livid face, and the maid's words kept echoing in his ears.And because seeing is believing just now, he has no choice but to get to the bottom of it!
The eldest lady was humiliated and insisted: "They are your children!"

Rong Que turned a deaf ear to it and stared at Nanny Liu.

Nanny Liu caught a glimpse of the hatred in Da Furen's eyes, her heart trembled, and she nodded: "Miss and Young Master are both your children."

Rong Que's eyes gradually became darker, and he glanced at Liu Mama coldly.Liu Mama's legs were weak, so Rong Que said angrily, "Come here!"

None of the maidservants dared to go forward and stayed where they were.

"I can't order you? Get out of here!"

Rong Que was so angry that the servant girl turned pale with fright, and hurried forward.

"Put this bitch in the house, and let Wei Yun come to the mansion tomorrow!" Rong Que warned: "If you dare to step out of the peony courtyard, your legs will be broken!"

Picking up the robe on the ground, Rong Que walked away with a flick of his sleeves.

Finished!

The Da Furen seemed to have been drained of all her strength, and she fell to the ground with a panicked expression.

……

next day
At dawn, a carriage stopped at the gate of Fuguo Duke's Mansion, and Wei Yun was led to the ancestral hall by the servant who had been waiting outside the mansion for a long time.

The eldest lady had a haggard face and knelt on the futon.

The masters in the mansion all stood on both sides.

Seeing the situation, Wei Yun knew something was wrong, and raised his eyes to look at Rong Que.

Rong Que no longer flattered and complimented Wei Yun as before, and threw a robe and the letter found in the Peony Court on the ground.

"Last night, I heard the wind and went to the Peony Court. At midnight, she didn't sleep in the house, but went to the small bamboo forest to have a private meeting! Although I didn't catch anyone, this robe was draped over her shoulders. Please come today, Master Wei I just want to tell you the reason, the mansion cannot accommodate unruly women!" At Rong Que's age, his ambition and fighting spirit in the officialdom have been sapped, and he knows how much he is, and he doesn't rely on Wei Yun to get up. Climbing, I am not afraid, my back is straight.

Wei Yun's face suddenly sank, as if she didn't expect the lady to do such a scandal.

Can--

"As the saying goes, if you catch a thief, you get the stolen goods, and if you catch the adulterer, you get the double. Since the brother-in-law didn't catch anyone, it may be a misunderstanding." Wei Yun pointed out the shortcomings of Rong Que's words.

The eldest lady was middle-aged, and such a scandal broke out, and she was dismissed and returned to the house.Not only her reputation was ruined, but even the Shangshufu was also affected.

No matter what, Rong Que cannot be allowed to divorce his wife!
Rong Que's face turned red, he tossed his sleeves, and said coldly: "The person was not arrested to confront her, and the content of these letters does not necessarily mean that I have wronged her! I have already written the divorce letter, and there is nothing to say. Master Wei Take her to pack her things and go!"

These words sounded like a thunderclap——

There was a sudden silence in the room, only the sound of the rosary in Zhu's hand was heard.

Surprised, Rong Yan divorced his wife!

The corner of Liu's mouth hooked slightly, and she lowered her head to hide the look in her eyes.

Mrs. Deng felt that the outer robe looked familiar, seeing how the eldest lady ended up like this, she felt relieved from the bottom of her heart.

Xie Qiao's eyes were calm, without any disturbance.

Wei Yun was sullen, and Rong Que swept his face.With heavy eyes, she looked at Zhu Shi aside: "Madam, what do you think about this matter?" Before Zhu Shi could speak, he continued: "I have been too busy these days, and I haven't come to your residence to inform you. The vacancy has been taken, just ask someone to return to Beijing to report on his work."

Mrs. Zhu took a sip of tea and said calmly, "I can't decide, it's up to the boss. They live in closed doors, and it's not easy for others to intervene."

A dark light flashed in Wei Yun's eyes. After all, it was the eldest lady who made a mistake and lacked confidence and momentum: "You are a couple for many years. Qin'er has given birth to your children and managed the family business for you all these years. There is hard work without credit. Do something wrong, think about the relationship between husband and wife, and be merciful to her." Sending people back to the house does not leave a way for people to survive.

"Brother!" The eldest lady originally had a glimmer of hope in her heart, that Wei Yun would make the decision for her.For Wei Yun's sake, Rong Que would not care too much about her.But what Wei Yun said right now is actually begging Rong Que not to divorce his wife, and he will not bother with him!

Wei Yun said quite sadly: "You disappoint me so much."

The eldest lady's heart sank to the bottom of the valley in an instant, and she cried: "Brother, I don't! Don't you believe me?"

"Uncle! Mother was wronged! Letters can be fake!" Rong Yan opened all the letters on the floor and read them one by one. She was shocked and wondered why her mother was still glamorous after the family broke up in her previous life. Is the middleman her reliance?
"Well, who did you meet last night?" Rong Que sneered and said, "You don't need to tell me, I can find out if I use this robe to check!"

Da Furen's complexion changed, and she refused to admit it: "I don't understand what you are talking about!"

"I think you don't cry when you see the coffin!" How could Rong Que not understand the eldest lady?She gritted her teeth and refused to admit it, it was because Wei Yun couldn't do anything to her!He said in a cold voice: "Last night, Nanny Liu guarded you so that you could secretly meet your lover. If I didn't believe in forcing my way in, I would have been deceived by you! It doesn't matter if you don't say anything, where is Nanny Liu? Bring her here !"

But at this moment, Mrs. Deng interjected: "Sister-in-law, there are all the witnesses and material evidences. It's pointless to say more, but it's just asking for embarrassment. Eldest brother is also kind to you, but he just divorced you. Li's was not like this back then. Luckily, I was hanged alive. If the elder brother didn’t see that you and your husband are not doing too well together, I would have soaked you in a pig cage a long time ago!” The hands in the sleeves were clenched into fists, and his eyes were fixed on the jacket on the ground. robe.

Rong Yan flipped through the letter, threw the robe casually, revealing a patch on the sleeve, which she sewed on the day before yesterday.

Thousands of calculations did not count Wei Yaqin's affair with her husband!
Anger surged in his heart, wishing that Rong Que would dip her into a pig cage!
Mrs. Deng suddenly pulled out Mrs. Li, and everyone had different thoughts.

The third master held Deng Shi's palm, and motioned her not to talk so much.

Disgusted in Deng's heart, he endured it, suppressing the urge to shake off his dirty hands.

The Da Furen's back stiffened, she raised her eyes to look at Li Shi's memorial tablet covered with smoke on the altar table, as if she saw Li Shi's questioning face, it made her spine chill so gloomyly that she didn't dare to look directly at it.

Rong Que's eyes were complicated, and he missed Li Shi.

If it wasn't for Wei's constant provocations in his ears, perhaps...

With a shudder in his heart, both Li Shi and Wei Shi have betrayed him!

Veins throbbed on his forehead, and he said sharply, "Where's Madam Liu? Bring her here!" I just want to solve Wei Shi as soon as possible, and I can't bear it for a moment!

Grandma Liu didn't come out.

The lady's heart sank, and she realized that since she was imprisoned in the peony courtyard, Mammy Liu hadn't appeared, and she had a bad feeling in her heart.

really--

Xie Qiao, who was watching coldly, had a strange flash in his quiet eyes.After exchanging glances with Lan Yu, Lan Yu immediately brought Mammy Liu up.

Grandma Liu's face was disheveled.

"My mother is different from her. She took advantage of the situation, so she was charged with an unwarranted crime and lynched. But she—" Xie Qiao pointed at the eldest lady, her cherry red lips slightly curled up, revealing a cold and strange smile: "It's a veritable affair with others, but under the pressure of power, it's lenient."

Zhu's complexion changed suddenly. Xie Qiao's words obviously meant that the collapse of the Duke of Zhen would be of no benefit to them, so he got rid of this obstacle.But now, the Wei family who really has an affair, they are afraid of the power of the Shang Shufu, so they dare not do anything to her!
Just as Rong Que was about to speak, he caught Xie Qiao's sharp gaze, and in surprise, he snorted coldly and stopped talking.

"Everyone knows the fact that your mother lost her virginity before marriage!" Rong Yan retorted.

Xie Qiao's face turned cold, the breeze blew her layered skirts, her eyes were dark in color, and hostility leaked from her eyebrows, dyeing her dark eyes bright.

Rong Yan didn't dare to look directly, her lips fluttered.

"Madam understands most clearly in her heart, tell me what happened back then." Xie Qiao turned his eyes and looked at Madam suddenly.

The corner of Da Furen's mouth trembled, and she said guiltily: "I haven't passed the door yet, how do I know..."

"Yes! You haven't passed the door yet, so you charged her with such a crime! Conspired with Zhu Shi to arrange her to have an affair with others, without giving her any chance to explain, hang her on the hanging beam! This is not right, you can Make room for the position of 'Madam' for you? How could you not know?" Xie Qiao Senhan's voice was like a sharp knife, slashing through everyone's hearts, and said with a sneer: "You treat her like this, take her Dowry, can you feel at ease?" Xie Qiao suddenly pinched the lady's chin, lifted her chin, and pointed straight at Li's tablet: "She regards you as a sister, and you are planning to murder her. Can Nian sleep peacefully? Do you feel a little bit guilty?"

Da Furen's chin hurt from Xie Qiao's pinch, she was at a loss, her forehead was wet with sweat: "I...I..."

Xie Qiao let go of her hand, turned her body slightly, the sunlight shrouded her icy face, and her whole body exuded a stern brilliance: "Mother Liu, tell me!"

Nanny Liu was trembling, kneeling on the ground, her bones seemed to be pricked by thousands of needles.Glancing at the eldest lady, guilt flashed across Liu Nanny's eyes.Out of the corner of his eye, he touched Lan Yu's cold gaze, his heart trembled, and he didn't dare to hide anything: "Master won the first prize in the examination and entered Beijing. Because he came from a poor family, his official career was difficult. The young lady searched for several rich and powerful sons, but most of them thought she was from a humble background. , only my uncle... But at that time, my uncle had already married his wife Li Shi, and the young lady wanted to marry into a noble family, so she deliberately approached Li Shi."

"Ms. Li is gentle and kind. She doesn't know Miss Li's intentions. Miss Lian is from a lowly family background. When Miss is ridiculed, she supports her and is very close. Because of this, Miss found that the emperor, who is still a prince, treats Li differently, and he also knows Zhen Guo. I don't want to get involved in the prince's faction to marry Mrs. Li to my aunt. From the mouth of Li's servant girl, I know that Mrs. Li has an affair with my aunt before leaving the cabinet, so I make up the story that Mrs. Li has an affair with the emperor, but the emperor hates her after getting her , That's why I took advantage of my uncle's drunkenness...to get away with it."

Nanny Liu swallowed nervously, squinted her eyes, and continued: "Miss is instigating in my uncle's ear, but my uncle didn't believe it at first. Miss learned that the emperor went to another courtyard to escape the summer heat, so she deliberately arranged for Mrs. Li to go with her... My uncle saw the emperor and Mrs. Li together, so he believed the young lady's words, and gradually became cold and alienated. When the Zhen Guogong ransacked his home and asked him to kill him, the old man was on the rise. The young lady got rid of Li on the grounds that there was a daughter of a guilty minister in the family, which would definitely affect his career. Shi."

Nanny Liu raised her eyes to look at Mrs. Zhu, and reluctantly opened her mouth and said, "The old lady doesn't like Mrs. Li, the government of the town is toppled, it is useless, and the master is a new rich man, so she agrees with the young lady's plan..."

"The meaning of your words is that the eldest lady dealt with several people back then, and those young masters abandoned her after they succeeded? As a last resort, she chose the cowardly and incompetent elder?" Xie Qiao's eyes flashed coldly, Liu Ma What Mammy repeated was almost the same as what Aunt Qing said.

Nanny Liu was sweating profusely, and nodded her head.

During the peeling, the lady's face flushed, she didn't know whether it was shock or shame, she wished she could faint.

Rong Yan bit her lips tightly, never expecting her mother to be so miserable.

Xie Qiao's smile deepened, but he didn't reach his eyes, and said sarcastically, "You boast of being scheming, applauding others' scheming, but you don't know that you are the plaything in other people's hands."

The voice was cold, calm and calm, speaking lightly.She didn't speak harshly, but still made Rong Que and Zhu's heart tremble and feel ashamed!

Mrs. Li never betrayed him!
It is Wei Shi who is unclean!

Rong Que opened his mouth, but Xie Qiao never even looked at him.

What she did today was to restore Mrs. Li's innocence.

It's not for getting Rong Que's confession!

The flash of sarcasm in Xie Qiao's eyes made Rong Que deeply stimulated, his eyes turned red and he said, "Bitch, you are the one who killed Jingjing!"

The madam's heart was beating wildly, her black hair was dragged by Rong Que and scattered around her waist, making the smile on her face bleak and eerie: "You are the one who hurt her! You are really infatuated with her, how can you come to my bed? You are not greedy or selfish, how could you just watch her being hanged?" The lady laughed wildly, and tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes: "What you should regret is that you didn't kill the bastard left by Mrs. Li! She I’m here for revenge! I’m here for revenge! Hahaha—”

Zhu's eyelids twitched, and he suddenly looked at Xie Qiao.

As if Xie Qiao hadn't seen him, he gently brushed off the smoke and dust on Li's tablet, and lit a few sticks of incense.

"Here is the divorce letter, take it away!" Rong Que threw the divorce letter on the face of the eldest lady, and the rice paper cut a bloodstain on her face.

"Wait!" Wei Yun took out a notebook from his sleeve, and said with a gloomy expression: "The emperor agreed to help the Duke's mansion to lower his rank, and he intends to promote Rong Yu and Rong Lin for this purpose. I have already written the notebook and submitted it The dragon case. In less than a month, the official letter of appointment will be issued."

Rong Que was unmoved, he was not the one who was promoted.

"Brother—don't!" Da Furen would rather be divorced than spend the rest of her life in the family temple!His face was pale, and he begged Wei Yun: "Brother, I want to go home..."

Wei Yun brushed away the lady's hand that was holding onto the hem of his robe.

The second master and the third master understood the meaning of Wei Yun's words, whether or not this paper can be submitted to the dragon case depends on Rong Que's choice.

"Brother, even now, divorcing his wife can't bring Li Shi back to life. Why don't you lock her up in the family temple and recite sutras and repent for Li Shi every day?" The third master was afraid that Wei Yun would change his mind under the begging of the eldest lady, so he immediately comforted her. .

The second master was rarely silent.

"Take Wei Shi to the family temple." Zhu Shi made the final decision!
"Mother—" Rong Que shouted.

Mrs. Zhu said coldly: "If you divorce her, you have a bright face? You are shameless, and the descendants of the Rong family will also want it!" After a pause, he said in a soft voice: "Since you are ashamed of Mrs. Li, you should replace... For Rong Hua's sake, how does she ask her to discuss marriage if she divorces his wife at this time?"

Rong Que was unwilling to reconcile, but did not refute.

The two servants dragged the eldest lady down, and the eldest lady shouted sadly: "Brother, help me, help me——" both hands tightly grasped the door frame, unwilling to let go.

She is used to living a good life, how can she bear the hardships in the family temple?

Wei Yun turned a deaf ear and left with a flick of his sleeves.

Da Furen's heart was ashamed, and she was dragged down by the servants in embarrassment.

As for the dowry in the peony courtyard, Xie Qiao withheld it and moved it back to the courtyard.

Rong Yan didn't dare to make trouble anymore, so she handed a letter to the East Palace, hoping that the crown prince would take her back.

But the prince is making intensive preparations for marrying the princess.

-

In the Chonghua Building, Mrs. Liu held hot tea in her hand and looked at Xie Qiao with a smile in her eyes.

"You have finally cleared your mother's innocence, and she can rest in peace underground."

Xie Qiao just smiled and said nothing, she had completed Aunt Qing's explanation.

When Mrs. Liu came to look for Xie Qiao, she still had one thing in mind.Rong Que will not suspect that Wei Shi has an affair for no reason, she is definitely the one who is going through it.It's just Wei Shi's concubine...

Mrs. Liu collected her guesses in her mind, and asked tactfully: "The material of the outer robe today looks familiar, and we can't guess who it is, after all, rich families often use this material. It's just...the stitches on the cuffs seem to be from the mansion. It's..." At this point, Liu Shi smiled: "There is a curfew at night, and it is difficult for outsiders to enter the mansion. The elder brother can escape quickly after breaking through, which shows that he is very familiar with the mansion. Sister Hua, are you right?"

"Second Aunt's heart is clear, so why ask more questions?" Xie Qiao's words implied that Liu's guess was right, and he felt it was funny. People who should understand don't understand, and those who shouldn't understand may already know. .

Liu's eyes flickered slightly, but her heart became alert.The third master usually does not show the mountains or the water, and dives headlong into the books, neither fighting nor grabbing.It doesn't seem so at the moment, the incest with Wei, I'm afraid there will be something ulterior!
Xie Qiao asked Rong Sheng: "How is the birth brother?"

Liu's eyebrows opened and she said with a smile: "That's great! It's really thanks to you, if something happens to my brother, I..." Shaking my head, I can't help but say the following words.

"Second Aunt, don't be polite to me." Xie Qiao blew away the tea in the cup, knowing that Liu Shi still had something to say, so he didn't rush.

Sure enough, Mrs. Liu thought about it and said: "My natal family has a nephew who is now working in the Imperial Academy. I see that you are similar to him in temperament, do you want to see him someday?" Afraid that Xie Qiao would not like it, Hastily said: "I told him about your situation, he doesn't require you to stay at home all day, you can go out to practice medicine. It's just that he doesn't talk much."

Xie Qiao raised his eyebrows, it was unexpected for Liu Shi to say kiss for her.

"Although my natal family is not a wealthy family, it is also a scholarly family. The second aunt does not mean to force you. If you want to see it, if you don't, just pretend that I didn't say it." After a pause, the Liu family continued Said: "If you don't like it after meeting, it's okay, you don't have to make things difficult."

Xie Qiao was stunned, this was the same as a blind date!
She is considered 'old' at her age, and everyone cares about her marriage.

Although she has no intention of getting married, it's hard to guarantee that someone will make a fuss about it.After pondering for a while, Xie Qiao nodded.

If you close your eyes, forget it, but it's a troublesome thing.

Liu Shi left happily.

-

After Mrs. Deng went back, she quarreled with Rong Lin.

"I underestimated you! Beware of those goblins outside, but not that bitch! You really have the ability to crawl on your sister-in-law's bed, isn't it disgusting?" Mrs. Deng grabbed Rong Lin endlessly No kicks.

"Stop!" Rong Lin's face was extremely ugly, but he didn't attack Deng.

Deng's heart was furious, and she scratched at his face: "Smelly shameless thing, my old lady tore your face, let's see how dare you hang around outside!"

Rong Lin knew Deng's unyielding temperament, so he stood still like a wooden stake and let her vent.

Rong Ning sat cross-legged on the kang, looking out of the window with absent-minded eyes.

After returning from the banquet in the county palace, she was confined in the house by her grandfather, and she was only released today.He wanted to talk to his mother, but he got into an argument with his father, and couldn't be quiet for a moment.

In just a few days, the great changes in the mansion made her feel uneasy, fearing that Xie Qiao would use it on her like the way he used to deal with the eldest lady.

The red coral head with her eyes on the table was exactly the head that Xie Qiao had forced to give her.I thought about sending the things back and apologizing to her.

With a 'snap', Mrs. Deng came out angrily, swinging the curtain.

Using the bronze mirror to tidy up the messy bun, put on the button on the chest, gritted his teeth and shouted into the room: "Next time, I will shake off your scandal and see if you still want to be a man!"

Thinking of Rong Lin flirting with Wei Shi right under her nose, I was so angry!
Rong Lin's face was scratched three times by Deng Shi, and he was about to speak when he caught a glimpse of Rong Ning on the kang, and said in a low voice, "In front of the child, please don't say a few words."

Deng sneered a few times, the sarcasm in his eyes was like fine silver needles pricking his face.

At this time, Mammy Ying leaned close to Deng's ear and said, "Second Madam is going to Chonghua Building to talk about the matter, and assign the young lady to her natal nephew, and I will go to see her in a few days."

Deng's heart skipped a beat, and he asked in surprise, "Agreed?"

Mammy Ying nodded.

Deng's eyebrows frowned, she still doesn't know what Liu's plan is?He hated secretly in his heart, and was taken a step ahead by Liu Shi.

"Mother, big sister, will she take revenge on me?" Rong Ning was crying, feeling nervous.

Hearing this, Deng's heart was not going well, how could she know that Rong Yan wanted to deal with Xie Qiao?Rong Ning is also not shrewd, she said she listened to Rong Yan's errands, so she may not obey her in everything!

"She wants to take revenge on you, so she won't let you back safely that day." Having said that, Deng felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart.

The exposure of Wei's personal affair was planned by Xie Qiao, so would she know...

My heart trembled, and I couldn't sit still.

"Let's go, apologize to her." Deng wanted to spy on it, but she was afraid that Xie Qiao would expose the matter.

Rong Ning said anxiously: "Mother, I'm afraid that big sister will not forgive us." After all, she did something ungrateful and helped Rong Yan deal with Xie Qiao.

Deng shi gave her a hard look.

Rong Ning had no choice but to follow Mrs. Deng to Chonghua Building.

Seeing Rong Que standing outside the courtyard from a distance, Deng's complexion changed, and he walked over as if nothing had happened: "Is Rong Hua not here?"

Rong Que looked embarrassed, Xie Qiao didn't want to see him.

Deng's eyeballs rolled around, and he knew that he was afraid of being rejected.

He was about to go in, but was blocked by Mingxiu who came back from outside.

There was a smile on Deng's face: "We have something to ask Miss Hua, can you pass it on?"

Ming Xiu sneered: "Miss is not free!"

Mrs. Deng slammed the door again, and knew that Xie Qiao's anger was still there.Otherwise, how could a servant girl dare to make decisions for her master?
After thinking about it in my heart, I headed towards Fushou Hall.

Since that day, Mrs. Zhu has been ill!
At night, I often dreamed that Mrs. Li turned into a ghost and demanded her life, so I couldn't sleep day and night!
When Deng came, Zhu just woke up.After hearing her reason for coming, she opened her eyes and looked at the roof of the tent: "Qiu'er is already on her way back to Beijing."

Deng's complexion relaxed, and he went back to the yard with peace of mind.

-

The next day.

The Xibo Mansion handed over an invitation card.

After Xie Qiao made some preparations, he took Ming Xiu and Lan Yu out of the mansion.

Because of Concubine Shu's relationship, Xibo's mansion is much better than Fuguo's mansion, and the second master works in the Ministry of Punishment.

When Xie Qiao arrived, the woman waiting at the door led her to the backyard.

In the main room, a Kang table is set up on the big Kang facing the window, and there are tea sets and snacks on the table.Ji Yu was sitting on the left side, leaning on the big guiding pillow, when she saw Xie Qiao coming in, she immediately got up to meet him.

"You lean on and don't move, don't tear the wound." While speaking, Xie Qiao sat down on the right.

Ji Yu's complexion was pink, and she said softly, "Thanks to your rescue, I saved my life this time." After a pause, she lowered her eyelashes, and pushed the pastry in front of Xie Qiao: "In the past I have offended you so much, I hope you will forgive me."

"I never took it to heart." Xie Qiao said with a slight smile.

Ji Yu smiled slightly, and her slightly frowned eyebrows stretched: "You are two years older than me, so I'll call your sister?" Seeing Xie Qiao's answer, she approached happily and said, "I hurriedly invited my sister into the mansion before my injury recovered. Let’s talk about it, the reception is not good. I’ll get better in the future, and I’ll make amends to my sister.”

"Since you are commensurate with my sister, why should you be so polite?" Xie Qiao stood up and said, "Let me see how your injury is doing."

Ji Yu unbuttoned her little coat, revealing her lower abdomen. The wound had healed and scabbed over.

"The injury is recovering well, just a few more days." Xie Qiao was secretly surprised, the recovery of the wound was much faster than she expected.

"Brother Xiu hired me a doctor." Ji Yu mentioned Zheng Yixiu with a shy expression on his face.

Did Xie Qiao know that she was talking about her fiancé-in-law?
Ji Yu thought of a serious matter and said, "I invited my sister here today because I have something to ask. Don't blame me for being rude. I once heard that my sister had an affair with Miss Wei. I don't know if it's true or not?"

"There are indeed old grievances." Xie Qiao didn't shy away from it.

The smile on Ji Yu's face faded, and she said sadly: "Brother Lixiu came to visit me in the mansion yesterday, and I heard his conversation with his friends. It seems that Miss Wei has returned to Beijing a few days ago, and has not returned to Shangshu's mansion. I am here today. Let me remind my sister to be careful."

Xie Qiao was taken aback, but he didn't expect Wei Ruxue to return to Beijing!

"Do you know where she is?"

Ji Yu shook her head: "I don't know."

Xie Qiao pursed his lips slightly, Wei Ruxue returned to Beijing secretly, not many people knew about it.I am afraid that apart from Wei Yun, only his confidantes will know.But Zheng Yixiu knew, is there any connection between Dingguo Mansion and Wei Yun?
Thinking of this, Xie Qiao warned: "Don't tell me what you told me." He emphasized and reminded: "Zheng Yixiu can't do it either."

Ji Yu's face turned pale, and she stared blankly at Xie Qiao. Seeing her serious expression, she knew that the situation might be more serious than she thought.After hesitating for a while, he nodded and said, "I won't tell Brother Xiu."

As soon as the words fell, Ji Heng's voice came from a distance: "Yu'er, you invited Miss Rong to the mansion as a guest, why didn't you tell Dad?" In a blink of an eye, they had already reached the door.Seeing Xie Qiao standing in front of Ji Yu, he frowned and said, "How do you greet the guests? Why do you sit down when the guests haven't sat down?" After finishing speaking, he rolled up his sleeves and put the dust on the kang, smiling. Said: "Miss Rong, sit down quickly, as if you are in your own mansion, you don't have to be restrained."

Xie Qiao's eyelids twitched, and Ji Yu said awkwardly, "Sister, you don't have to worry about my father's lack of morality."

Ji Heng raised his eyebrows and said: "You say that about Daddy? Also, Miss Rong is going to marry Daddy as his wife, so it's inappropriate for you to call her sister..."

"Daddy!" Ji Yu raised her voice and said with displeasure on her face, "You just discussed marriage with my sister, but no one else agreed, so don't you want to ruin my sister's reputation!"

Ji Heng choked, and whispered: "Who said that? It's just that Dad didn't go to propose marriage..." Suddenly, his eyes lit up: "It's better to hit the sun than to choose a date. Lord Shangshu is a guest in the house, so I asked him to go to your father and say Xiang, immediately go to propose marriage!"

Xie Qiao's calm eyes moved slightly, Wei Yun is in Xibo Mansion?

"You and Master Shangshu are very close?" Xie Qiao suddenly said to Ji Heng.

"Naturally, he and the second younger brother are colleagues and have a close relationship. They often come to the mansion for drinks..."

"Daddy!" Ji Yu suddenly had a bad feeling, interrupted Ji Heng's words suddenly, frowned and said, "The doctor invited by brother Xiu is coming soon, you go and fetch him."

Xie Qiao glanced at Ji Yu and didn't ask any more questions.

No matter how thoughtless Ji Heng was, he knew that the atmosphere in the room was delicate at this moment, so he left in a hurry.

"Sister, I..." Ji Yu's mouth twitched, trying to explain.Xie Qiao cut off her voice: "I know your situation."

Although she is a lifesaver, the Xibo mansion is full of her close relatives.

Realizing that something was wrong, she cut off Ji Heng's words in time, she did the right thing.

"I don't have any other intentions. It's just that Lord Shangshu is not a friendly person. Your father asked him to talk about it. The relationship must be right or wrong, so he asked this question." Xie Qiao explained.

Ji Yu suddenly remembered that Master Shangshu was Xie Qiao's stepmother and elder brother, and her heart dropped.

Xie Qiao sat down for a while, then took his leave and returned home.

In the courtyard, I happened to meet Ji Heng leading a person in.

This person was sitting in a wheelchair, in the early summer season, he was wrapped in a silver-white cloak, and the silver-gray fur around his neck made his face pale as snow.

The man raised his eyelids slightly, and also looked at Xie Qiao.There was a loose smile on the corner of Wei Yang's mouth, but in Xie Qiao's eyes, that smile showed a trace of indifference.

"Miss Rong, are you leaving now?" Ji Heng said with disappointment in his tone.

Xie Qiao nodded.

The moment they passed by, Xie Qiao felt a man's gaze fall on her, which made her extremely uncomfortable.

From a distance, I heard Ji Heng say: "Young Master Ji, be careful of the steps."

Xie Qiao's footsteps stopped suddenly, and he suddenly turned around to look, only to see the curtain hanging down to cover his back.

Mr. Ji——

Ji Yunzhu?
It's just that it's very different from what she imagined.So young, such a 'sick' body...

"Miss..." Mingxiu softly called Xie Qiao, who was in a daze.

Xie Qiao came back to his senses and took a deep look at Xibo Mansion.I just feel that this Xibo Mansion is also not simple.

Back in the mansion, Xie Qiao ordered Lan Yu to investigate Ji Yunzhu.

She always felt that Ji Yunzhu was weird, and he made her feel dangerous.

"Miss, tomorrow is the day when you and the second wife's nephew will meet, don't forget." Bai Zhi reminded Xie Qiao to prepare the clothes for tomorrow.

Xie Qiao was startled, but Bai Zhi didn't say anything, she really forgot!

The next day.

Mrs. Liu came to Chonghua Building early in the morning, and seeing Xie Qiao dressed up, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Her careful makeup is enough to show that she is not perfunctory, but takes it seriously.

Immediately, she felt a little nervous, she was afraid that Xie Qiao would look down on her nephew.

After eating, Xie Qiao and Liu Shi went to the restaurant.

-

in the military camp.

Qin Suan was sitting in the camp tent, his eyes as black as ink were fixed on Vice General Yang's arm.

The military doctor removed the external fixation, and slowly removed the gauze layer by layer.

The sutures have healed well, and the pink scars on the dark arms are particularly eye-catching.

According to Xie Qiao's instructions, Deputy General Yang put two small stones in his hands every day, and practiced straightening and grasping his fingers. Now his hands can be stretched and grasped, and today he wants to try to lift something heavy.

Slowly opened his fingers, then slowly retracted, picked up his long sword, and swung it slowly, bursts of tingling pain came from the joint.

"Stop—" The military doctor saw the cold sweat dripping from his forehead, and knew that he was enduring pain.Pointing to his stitches, he said, "It still hurts?"

Vice General Yang nodded: "It doesn't hurt if you don't take things."

The military doctor didn't dare to let him try to lift things again, thinking it was better to follow Xie Qiao's orders.

"You've been hurt for a hundred days, not to mention you have a broken arm." The military doctor was afraid that Vice General Yang would think too much, so he comforted him.

Vice General Yang waved his hand, he was already satisfied with being able to retrieve the severed arm.Even if he can't lift heavy objects and is no longer flexible, he can still practice his left hand!
Besides, he believed in Xie Qiao!

"Start practicing the left hand tomorrow." Qin Mofang issued an official document, intending to invite Xie Qiao to inspect the wound for Vice General Yang tomorrow.Thinking about it, thinking of the scene at Yongping Teahouse that day, my eyes were full of ink.

Something happened in the past few days——

Busy meeting other men!
Recalling her smiling face to Jiang Pei that day, it was dazzling and dazzling, and she couldn't help squinting her eyes slightly.

At this time, Lan Xing passed the news from Lan Yu to Qin Mo.

Qin Mo opened his originally relaxed expression, and gradually became gloomy and cold, and the letter paper was pinched into a ball by him.

Vice General Yang and the military doctor looked at each other, and saw Qin Mou's deep eyes showing a trace of hostility, and he left boldly.

How dare this woman agree to meet people!
Not getting married before the age of 30?
Qin Mo snorted coldly and rode back to the city.
