Li Qingyi thought to himself that this Lin family is really taking care of everything, "It seems that when we first discovered that she was missing this morning, she had already followed the caravan out of the city."
Qin Zeng pondered: "If she leaves the city successfully, she will definitely not follow the caravan all the time."
"So what? How do we find her?"
"I personally took people out of the city to check. There are many people in the caravan, and no matter how they go, they will leave traces."
Qin Zeng knew the terrain around the capital very well, so he went to pursue it personally and had a greater chance of finding Lin.
Li Qingyi nodded, "You go find Mr. Lin, and I'll go to the Shenxiang Rouge Shop."
Qin Zeng stopped him and said, "No, you just stay at home. Who knows if Nan Zhu was a bait deliberately left by Lin? She has a weird mind, how could she leave such a flaw in Nan Zhu? Maybe I am leading you to check out the rouge shop. If you go, you will probably fall into the trap."
Li Qingyi's heart trembled, "But Nan Zhu's performance shouldn't be fake."
"True is also false, and false is also true. If Mrs. Lin really arranged it like this, she would not tell Nan Zhu anything specifically. You and I are not easy to deceive. No matter how similar Nan Zhu's acting is, it is not as easy to deceive as his true reaction. People. And everything Nan Zhu knows is under Lin's control. She knows what Nan Zhu can finally explain, and she is not afraid of her leaking secrets. "
Li Qingyi broke into a cold sweat when he heard what he said. He couldn't help but sigh that Qin Zeng was thoughtful, "Okay, I'll stay in the house and won't go anywhere."
After Qin Zeng heard this, he felt relieved and left the house.
Li Qingyi returned to the east courtyard by himself. After a small bowl of soup, he felt sleepy and decided to take a nap. When he got up again, the golden crow was already hanging in the west.
"It's already this hour."
"Grandma hasn't calmed down in the past few days. I saw that you were sleeping deeply, so I didn't wake you up."
Li Qingyi stood up and sat up. He still felt tired and sleepy after sleeping for so long. It must be because he had been thinking too much and working too hard these days. "How is it going at Jingyuntang?"
Heng Wu replied: "The second wife and the third wife are afraid that the old lady will feel bad, so they have been staying there with her."
Li Qingyi got up and changed his clothes, intending to go to Songhe Hall to have a look, when he heard Feng He's voice coming from outside, "Someone from the He family is coming, and they are making a fuss about picking up the young aunt and grandma back! Is the eldest grandma free now? Hurry up. Go and take a look, the old lady, the second wife and the third wife are all in the front yard!"
"Sister, wait a moment, I will go into the house and report to grandma."
After Lianshuang entered the room, Li Qingyi said: "I heard it all. You let Feng He go back first, I will go later."
"Yes, grandma."
Li Qingyi put on his cloak and walked out, frowning and muttering, "Why are the He family causing trouble at this time?"
Last time the old lady celebrated her birthday, the old lady of the He family got retribution for being a bitch and got bitten by a bug for the old lady.
After all, she was getting older. Although she was fine in the end, Mrs. He was worried for a while and fell ill when she returned home. The palace was busy for days and had no time to pay attention to them, so they simply spent money to buy some time off and gave them some money and supplements. The He family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law benefited, and they did have time to relax for a while. Gongsun Qing was able to take good care of himself in the palace. During this period, Gongsun Qing's complexion improved a lot.
Now the He family has come to visit again. It is most likely that the old lady of the He family has improved and is active again. She has nothing to do at home and has come to seek bad luck for her grandson's daughter-in-law, Gongsun Qing.
Arriving at the main hall in the front yard, Li Qingyi heard Mrs. He's scolding words before he even entered the room.
"It's cold and dry in autumn, so the old lady should be careful about getting angry."
"The old lady will get angry when she sees her!" Chang Ning complained speechlessly.
Li Qingyi also felt that Mrs. He's shamelessness had reached the point where gods and ghosts would retreat, and she was like a piece of meat.
She walked slowly into the room, saluted everyone from a distance, then stood behind the old lady, put her hands on her shoulders and squeezed her with all her strength.
The old lady's tight anger relaxed a little, and she calmed down. She looked at Mrs. He and said calmly: "Then Aunt Dong is almost seven months pregnant now."
When she mentioned this, she undoubtedly wanted to take a preemptive strike and remind Mrs. He that your son must give an explanation to the palace for doting on concubines and killing his wife.
The old lady looked indifferent, "Earlier, Mrs. He was ill and we couldn't speak. Now that the eldest lady is here, I'm afraid the old lady has already recovered. In this case, we have to explain clearly what happened before."
Mrs. He was just as Li Qingyi thought, she was a piece of shit. After hearing this, she just made peace with her and said: "A concubine is still a concubine even if she gives birth to a child. The old lady and her in-laws don't have to worry about it." On the contrary, Sister Qing has returned to her parents' home for a long time. As the saying goes, it is better to demolish ten temples than to ruin a marriage. This young couple has been separated for ten days and eight days. That is a small farewell than a new marriage, but they can be separated for a long time. Now, the relationship will inevitably become weak, and the old lady doesn’t want to see a good young couple feel resentful, right?”
The problem is that Aunt Dong already has a baby in her belly, isn't it already there?
The second wife, Mrs. Hong, had a sullen face and had been holding back her anger for a long time. "Our sister Qing is the direct daughter of the royal family of Zhenbei. She has a well-behaved and outstanding appearance, and is praised by everyone. But you congratulate her on marrying her." At home, not to mention being neglected and humiliated, He Wenjue actually used fish eyes as pearls to support that despicable thing! Doting on a concubine and destroying your wife is a big hatred! How can you get by with just a light dissatisfaction from you?"
Mrs. He had a "pleasant" smile on her face and said in a nonchalant manner: "Sister Qing is indeed a good person. Who among us in the He family would not praise her for being steady and sensible? Otherwise, our old lady would not have begged for Wen Jue in the first place. Marrying Sister Qing, when our two families got married, it was your choice and no one forced the other. Since I came to see the old lady and my wife today, I naturally didn't do those mindless things. "
The palace wants to reconcile, but Mrs. He calls this a "brainless" thing. This is a slap in the face with a smile!
The old lady's face darkened.
Mrs. He continued as if she hadn't noticed, "Children's marriage is not a trivial matter. Who's family has never encountered difficulties? Is it possible that they always complain to Heli? This time Wen Jue's daughter-in-law is being petty and making trouble. We have traveled thousands of miles to send her back to her parents’ home, aren’t we pampering her enough?”
Mrs. He's ability to confuse right and wrong is really not just a boast.
It was clearly He Wenjue who supported Aunt Dong and forced his wife, Gongsun Qing, to hide in another courtyard. The palace said that he would take her to recuperate, and by the way, he asked the He family to come to the capital together to avoid their obstruction. As a result, according to Mrs. He, it became These words!
Everyone was furious when they heard this. This He family is a shameless and despicable family! At first they joined forces to make a show to cheat for marriage, but now they are still licking their faces and saying that you are in love with me.
The old lady no longer wanted to make excuses with this kind of person, and said straightforwardly: "This matter of marriage is not about you or me. It needs to be mutual. You respect me and I respect you, so that we can be equal." If someone is idle all day long, it is better to end the marriage as soon as possible."
"What did the old lady say? In today's life, couples quarrel at the bedside and at the end of the bed, and young people are even more angry. How can they divorce when they get angry? Isn't this child's play..."
Seeing her reasonable look, the old lady turned blue with anger.
Li Qingyi said: "What Mrs. He said makes sense. Marriage is not a trivial matter. However, Aunt Dong has no respect for her legitimate wife and will be a disaster if she gives birth to children in the future. It is better to leave the mother and keep the children. The world will be peaceful and the sister and husband will live in peace in the future. Our palace is also a solid backing for their young couple."
The last sentence was what Mrs. He wanted to hear most, but the condition was that Aunt Dong must be dealt with. How could her son agree?
Li Qingyi looked at Mrs. He Da's hesitant look and smiled.
She wanted to retreat in order to advance. She was sure that He Wenjue would not agree to deal with Aunt Dong, so she said this.
Mrs. He hesitated and said, "What you said makes sense, but Aunt Dong is now seven months pregnant. If she learns this bad news, I am afraid it will hinder the child in her belly. It is better to wait until the child is born. , let’s deal with it again, but Wen Jue’s wife has to go back, she can’t stay at her parents’ house all the time, right?”
This was obviously a delaying strategy. If Gongsun Qing really went back with her, all the trouble would be in vain.
Li Qingyi said: "It's not that we don't want the eldest sister to go back. It's really that the eldest sister is seriously ill and can't go back to the He family. In addition, the cost of such trivial matters and medical treatment and prescriptions will be borne by the palace on behalf of the He family. How can Mrs. He?" Aren’t you worried? Anyway, my eldest brother-in-law still has Aunt Dong by his side now, and the couple have only been affectionate for a few days. Mrs. He doesn’t pity Aunt Dong, she also has to pity her own son. "
Mrs. He pursed her lips.
She really didn't care about Aunt Dong's life or death, but her son knew that she would not easily agree to stay with her mother. Seeing the resolute attitude of everyone in the Zhenbei Palace, she had no choice but to agree and prepare to go back and persuade her son!
However, she came to the palace and couldn't just leave.
"You must ask me to meet Wen Jue's wife and give her a few words of advice."
The old lady looked at Mrs. Hong, who nodded slightly. Before she came, she had already asked the girl to dress up Sister Qing. The more makeup she painted, the more like a dead person, the better.
"In that case, let's go and have a look."
Everyone got up and went to the courtyard of Gongsun Qing, the second room on the West Road.
At the entrance of the courtyard, a girl stretched her neck and looked out. She saw a group of people coming and hurried back to tell Gongsun Qing.
Gongsun Qing quickly shrank into the quilt and lay down.
Li Qingyi supported the old lady and walked in first, and saw Gongsun Qing lying on the bed with a pale face.
If you add two red cheeks, it will look like a paper prick...
Mrs. He Da exclaimed "Oh!" in an exaggerated voice, "My daughter-in-law! I asked you to go back to your parents' home to recuperate, but why did you end up like this!"
As she said that, she reached out and dug her fingers into Gongsun Qing's face.
Li Qingyi grabbed her with quick eyes and hands, and said with a smile: "Mrs. He, my eldest sister is seriously ill. I won't let you get over her illness, or get too close."
