Chapter 71 The Devil (1)

When the breeze blows, the lotus in a pool shakes. The graceful lotus flowers in the pond are really one after another, and one after another.

Standing by the lake, Yuxi and Zisu said: "Let Aunt Guo make lotus leaf beggar chicken at noon." Lotus leaf beggar chicken is Yuxi's favorite dish, and she often asks the cook to cook it.

Seeing this, Yuchen smiled and asked Shiqin to tell the cook: "You can't let the fourth younger sister focus on the front, let's eat lotus leaf porridge at noon."

Yuxi felt that Yuchen had become very strange during this time. In the past, if Yuchen wanted to see her, he would ask the maid to call her to Tingyun Pavilion, but now if Yuchen has something to do, he will come here by himself. The attitude changed too much before and after, which made Yuxi tense up at the beginning. Later, seeing that Yuchen was fine, and the old lady didn't blame her for it, Yuxi relaxed.

However, Yuxi adheres to the principle of coming and going, Yuchen often visits her, and she will come to Tingyun Pavilion when she is bored or can't read.

Yuxi smiled and said: "Lotus leaf porridge has the effect of cooling and relieving heat, but third sister, are you sure Nanny Gui will let you eat it?" Nanny Gui has skills, but she is too lenient. If Yuxi herself, she would definitely not want such a nanny.

Yuchen chuckled lightly and said, "As long as Nanny Sha says it's okay, Nanny Gui will have no objection." Since what happened that night, Yuchen took the initiative to get close to Yuxi, and the content of the chat with Yuxi after that will not change. It is no longer limited to piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. They will talk about the internal affairs of the mansion, food, jewelry and clothes, and occasionally talk about gossip outside, commenting on the temperament of the ladies of each family. This was beyond Yuxi's imagination before, and it felt like Yuchen had fallen from the altar back to the world.

Yuxi put down the grapes in her hand, and sighed a little: "Sister San, I really envy you. There are so many capable people around you. Unlike me, I want to find a mother who is in charge, but I can't find a satisfactory one after so long. " It's not that Qiu Shi didn't recommend Yuxi, it's just that Yuxi's requirements are too high, and none of them meet her requirements. As for the old lady, since what happened that night, she no longer interfered with Yuxi's affairs, and let her make troubles.

How could Yuchen not know what Yuxi was thinking: "You want to find someone like Nanny Quan. It's so easy to find. If you want me to say, you might as well invite Nanny Quan back." The mother in charge is not just capable If you have the means, you have to trust it. It is very difficult to find people who meet these three requirements at the same time.

Yuxi also wanted to have Nanny Quan by her side, but the problem was that Nanny Quan was not someone who was willing to be inferior to others. Everyone has their own ambitions, and she can't force it: "Let this kind of thing take its course!" After speaking, she smiled and said, "It's really rare, we have been sitting here for such a long time, and Nanny Gui didn't come to urge you to practice calligraphy play the piano?"

The two talked and laughed, and half an hour passed. Just when Yuxi was about to tell Yuchen that she wanted to go back, a woman came over and said, "Miss San, someone is here from Pingqinghou's residence."

Yuchen didn't care, Pingqing Hou Mansion would send people to deliver things every now and then, she was used to it. But after all, it's her grandmother and uncle's wish, so don't neglect her: "Yuxi, let's talk next time!"

Yuxi stood up with a smile, and said, "Good." When you are tired from reading or a little irritable, there is someone you can chat with, sip tea, listen to the piano, and eat fresh and delicious fruits , is also very pleasant.

On the way, Kufu couldn't help but said: "Ping Qinghou and Mrs. Jiang really love the third girl." Food and clothing, there is nothing that Pingqinghou's mansion doesn't give away. Especially when there was a disaster that night, the Marquis of Pingqing sent a lot of things when they got the news, and also sent two girls who knew kung fu to protect the third girl.

Yu Xi smiled, she was really not envious of this kind of kindness.

Back in Tingyun Pavilion, Yuchen was shocked when he saw that Mrs. Min was waiting in the living room: "Mother Min, why are you here?" Mrs. Min is the most caring person around Mrs. Jiang,

If there is nothing important, they will not come here on purpose.

Mrs. Min glanced at the people in the room.

Yuchen immediately asked the people in the room to go out, and asked with a serious expression: "What happened?" At first Yuchen speculated that Mrs. Jiang was not feeling well, but the current situation is not like this. If my grandmother is sick, there is no need to hide it from others.

Mrs. Min said: "Girl, the old lady asked me to ask you, did you offend Heshou County Lord?"

Yuchen was puzzled, shook his head and said: "No! I have only met the Lord Heshou County three times in total. Although we have not become friends, we have not turned against each other. It is just a normal relationship."

Mrs. Min frowned tightly: "That's strange." After speaking, she asked again: "Miss, did you really offend County Lord Heshou? Miss, think about it carefully."

Yuchen had an intuition that something was up, and it was a big one: "Mom, I really didn't offend Heshou County Lord. The first time I met Heshou County Lord was in the Marquis of Taining! When the county lord met me for the first time, he was very hostile to me?"

Mrs. Min immediately grasped the key words: "Animation? Has the girl had a feud with the Lord Heshou County?"

Yuchen hurriedly shook his head: "No, it was the first time I met Heshou County Lord in the Taining Marquis Mansion, so why did we get along with each other. The next two meetings were not too bad."

Mrs. Min asked again: "What about Miss Yuxi? Has Miss Yuxi formed a grudge with the Lord Heshou County?"

Yuchen shook his head without even thinking about it: "No. Yuxi is very respectful to Heshou County Lord, and there is no overstepping. That time in the princess mansion, Yuxi won Yu's girl's chess skill, and Heshou County Lord Heshou still held Yuxi's hand Praise, you are very close."

Mrs. Min's brows became tangled into Sichuan characters.

Yuchen had a bad thought in his heart: "Mom, what happened? How can you say that Heshou County Lord is coming?"

Mrs. Min looked very ugly, and said, "Girl, Lord Hou has caught the bandit leader who sneaked into the Duke's mansion that night. The bandit leader has already confessed, saying that someone spent a lot of money to let these people break into the Duke's mansion on the night of the palace change." Mansion, kill you and Miss Yuxi while you are here. According to his confession, Lord Hou found out that the mastermind behind the scenes is Heshou County Lord. Therefore, the old lady specially asked me to come and ask you."

Yuchen felt that he had heard a very ridiculous thing: "The mastermind behind the scenes is Heshou County Lord? Why did she do this? As far as I know, our house has no enmity with the Qiao family! Besides, even if Yuxi and I If you offend her, you won't let the thieves come to our house to kill and set fire?" Not to mention that they didn't even have a quarrel, even if there was a disagreement, they wouldn't do such a murderous thing.

Mrs. Min shook her head and said, "Master Hou and Master Han Shizi have confirmed that the Han family, the Qiao family and the princess mansion have always been well watered, not to mention deep hatred, but there is no quarrel at all. Hou Ye and the old lady deduced that Heshou County The Lord should be because of personal grievances." The so-called personal grievances are the enmity between Yuchen and Yuxi and Lord Heshou County.

Yuchen said categorically: "No, don't talk about enmity, Yuxi and I have no respect for Heshou County Lord at all."

Mrs. Min also thought it was weird. Of course, in the eyes of the Jiang family, it was Yuchen who Lord Heshou wanted to kill, and Yuxi was just incidental. The main reason is that Yuchen is too famous, and Yuxi's fame is not enough.

Yuchen was silent for a while, and asked a very important question: "Mom, how did Heshou County Master know that the crown prince would rebel that night? Did uncle find out?" Even his uncle, an important official in the court, did not know about such a confidential matter. I know, but a boudoir woman with the Lord of Shou County knows this, it's too weird. Of course, Lord Heshou has always been weird,

Mrs. Min shook her head and said, "No, this matter is indeed evil. Logically speaking, it is impossible for Lord Heshou to know such a secret matter."

Yuchen said the words that had been kept in his heart: "Mom, I have always felt weird with Shou County Lord. Look at what she has done in the past two years. Nothing is reasonable. Let's not talk about making those juices and fresh pastries. Yes. But what kind of soap and dew did she make? Mom, as far as I know, Lord Heshou County has never learned how to mix fragrance, nor has she had any experience with it. How did she make these things? "It's still a coincidence to be the same, but with so many tricks, how could it be a coincidence.

Mrs. Min asked, "What does the girl want to say?"

At this time, Yuchen didn't hide and pinched: "Master Heshou County, it's not clean." The so-called unclean means that there are dirty things attached to him.

Mrs. Min didn't answer Yuchen's words, but said: "Miss, I don't know, this time the prince rebelled, and many people were ransacked and exterminated. The Lord of Heshou County took this opportunity to buy many shops and properties. In addition, she also bought There are many isolated copies of antique calligraphy and paintings. I heard that the total cost of these is seven or eight hundred thousand taels of silver, which was earned by Lord Heshou County in the past two years." What Mrs. Min said was actually a response to Yu Yu's side. Chen, Heshou County Lord is indeed abnormal. As for whether he was possessed by dirty things, there is no evidence for such a thing.

Yuchen asked: "Then what should we do?" If it's just a quarrel between the girl's family, it's fine if you suffer a little bit of grievance. But what he did with Lord Shou County is tantamount to being an unequaled enemy of the Duke's Mansion, so it is absolutely impossible to forget it like this.

Mrs. Min shook her head and said, "This old slave doesn't know." She was only in charge of passing on the message, as for the follow-up, it was not something she could intervene or talk about.

After sending off Mrs. Min, Yuchen stayed in the bedroom for a long time. She didn't know why He Shouxian mainly killed her. But because of Heshou County Lord, so many people were killed and injured in the Duke's Mansion, and she was also haunted by nightmares these days, and her grandmother felt very guilty about it.

No matter what the reason is for Heshou County Lord Heshou, and no matter where Heshou County Lord Heshou is, from today onwards, she and Heshou County Lord are enemies, enemies that will never die. (to be continued)
