"It is said that there is a third lady in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Yang Caixuan, who was born to Aunt Lu, the same Aunt Lu we met that day. Caixuan was weak and sickly since she was a child. Once she died of a serious illness and I don't know how she came back to life, but since she came back to life, she has lost her previous life. The memory of her, her words and deeds were very strange, and she often clashed with the eldest lady. The eldest lady of the prime minister's house never liked them, and since then she often made Caixuan kneel in the ancestral hall. The eldest lady of the house even said that the third lady was possessed by a monster. Invite a Taoist priest I have eliminated demons many times. It took several months. Once I went to burn incense in a temple and met an assassin who later drowned. Someone in the family said that he was killed by the eldest lady because she didn’t like the third lady. I don’t know whether the rumors are true or not.” Luan Yue seriously told what she found.
Gongsun Yu had always suspected Qi'er's life experience when he came back, and he saw everything that happened in the Prime Minister's Mansion that day. Luan Yue was ordered to find out the truth. But Gongsun Yu was a little surprised when he heard this.
"Qi'er does have a bit of a resemblance to Aunt Lu. How could she come out if she were a lady from the prime minister's house? Girls in the boudoir don't show up easily? But her words and deeds are so unscrupulous. How can she be a lady from the prime minister's house? Daughters from small families are more reserved than her. There are also some things that a prime minister’s lady definitely doesn’t know. For example, what cocktail did she talk about that day...Last time you said that the third lady drowned and her body was not found?"
"Yes. Young Master, are you saying that Qi'er is the third lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion or not?"
"If she is, why did she come to our Gongsun Mansion? If not, why did she come? Looking at her expression at the Prime Minister's Mansion that day, although she pretended to be calm and calm, her eyes still couldn't hide her inner struggle. Why? Or is it just like Is she talking about Netherworld Lotus?" After thinking for a long time, she said, "Both the Prime Minister and I are assisting the new emperor, and we will never do anything against it, so why is Qi'er looking for Netherworld Lotus?"
"Qi'er doesn't know Kung Fu, so why do you want the Netherworld Lotus so much? The Netherworld Lotus is so powerful that you can't even open it. How can a person who doesn't know Kung Fu control it?"
"You are going to investigate everyone who Qi'er once knew. Don't let go of any trace, especially the prime minister's house." Gongsun Yu, however, really hopes that Qi'er will be the miss of the prime minister's house, regardless of his concubine. The betrothal is also upright.
Qi'er was pruning the flower branches. Luan Yue came into the house and said to Qi'er, "Qi'er, is there someone looking for you outside the house?"
Qi'er thought it was Yuzhu, and thought: Wasn't it me who left the house? Could it be that she came here on her own because of what happened last time? Deliberately not knowing, "Who is it? It's so early and I haven't finished planting the flowers yet!"
Luan Yue saw Gongsun Yu drinking tea and deliberately said slowly, "It's the second lady of the prime minister's house."
Qi'er's smile suddenly froze. Gongsun Yu must have been suspicious last time at the Prime Minister's Mansion. Why did Yang Caiwei come here? Let me explain it clearly. Qiang Qiang said calmly, "What does she want from me? We don't know each other, so we continued to take care of the flowers."
Of course Luan Yue knew that she said it on purpose, and said, "Her carriage is always at the door of the house. Should I let her in or should you go out?"
Qi'er secretly glanced at Gongsun Yu but said nothing.
Gongsun Yu poured the tea slowly and said, "You can rest for a day."
Qi'er received permission, cleared his throat and said, "I'd better go out." After saying that, he exited Boyunxuan.
Gongsun Yu glanced at Luan Yue. Luan Yue understood Gongsun Yu's intention and sent someone to follow Qi'er.
Qi'er saw a familiar carriage outside the Gongsun Mansion and got on the carriage without hesitation. When she saw Caiwei and Aunt Lu, Qi'er thought Caiwei was the only one, but she didn't expect that Aunt Lu was also in the car.
Ever since Aunt Lu met Qi'er, she had stayed up all night thinking that Qi'er was Cai Xuan. No matter how Cai Wei explained to her, Qi'er could not be Cai Xuan's in any way. But Aunt Lu still thought deeply that Qi'er was her daughter.
Only Caiwei in the entire Prime Minister's Mansion was willing to help her, and she was a low-status concubine. Seeing how confused she was all day long, he couldn't bear it, so he tried to find a way to secretly bring Aunt Lu out to see Qi'er.
Since Aunt Lu saw Qi'er, she had a strong longing for her daughter. Seeing that Qi'er was in high spirits, she grabbed Qi'er's hand and said, "No, no, Qi Qi, are you out? Are they out?" Did I give you a hard time? How are you doing here..."
Qi'er has been asked endless questions by Aunt Lu since she was in the car. Qi'er is a little tired of her constant questioning. The state of mind at this time made me suddenly think of my mother who had taken the trouble to ask me, even if I ignored her, she kept asking her questions.
Qiqi thought of her former mother. Didn't Aunt Lu lose her daughter just like her own mother? Do they all love their daughters equally unscrupulously? His impatient heart suddenly ached, and he answered Aunt Lu's questions one by one.
Seeing what Qi'er was thinking, Caiwei pulled Aunt Lu and said to Qi'er, "Miss Qian, don't blame me, because you are a bit like Cai Xuan. Aunt Lu misses her daughter very much." As she said that, she deliberately mentioned Cai Xuan's things. Read it again.
"Caixuan has been well-behaved and sensible since she was a child. Because she is a concubine, she is cautious in everything she does and never breaks the rules. However, her mother is strict and sometimes punishment is inevitable."
Qi'er thought of the days when she was in the Prime Minister's Mansion, when she clashed with the eldest lady Gao and punished her by kneeling in the ancestral hall all day long. Because she was resurrected through a dead body, she could not remember what happened before. The eldest lady even took the opportunity to say that she was possessed by a demon and was often helped. He came out and was forced to exorcise ghosts. At that time, because this body was too weak, I had no intention of fighting back, so I could only let the punishment go.
Qi'er was well prepared when he came. After hearing this, he was shocked and said it was a pity. And told them that they could just call themselves Qi'er.
At this time, the coachman asked, "Second Miss, where are we going?"
As the carriage walked along the street, Caiwei hesitated about where she wanted to go.
Qi'er opened the curtain and saw Huifangzhai not far away and said to Caixuan, "The snacks in Huifangzhai in front are good, let's go and have a look? I don't have another friend I know."
Caixuan was worried about where she was going, so she immediately agreed.
The three of them entered Huifangzhai and found a table to sit down. Qi'er went in and met Agui. The two of them had a cold chat, and Qi'er ordered some snacks.
After a while, Agui personally delivered the tray to Qi'er and the others. Agui Zhang has dark skin and looks honest and honest.
Qi'er introduced Agui, Aunt Lu and Caiwei to each other, and both parties greeted each other politely.
Agui blamed Qi'er, "Qi'er, you haven't been here for a long time. I asked Yuzhu where you were, but she hesitated and refused to tell me."
Qi'er smiled and asked, "Why do you have time to come out today? Isn't the kitchen busy?"
Agui said, "Tomorrow is the anniversary of my mother's death. I'm here to pay my wages today. I want to buy some of the food she used to love and take it back as a sacrifice. I've never honored her before." After saying this, he became sad.
Qi'er quickly apologized, "Oh, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked."
Agui said, "Why are you sorry? If you hadn't helped me, my mother and I would have been killed by bandits two years ago."
Qi'er smiled awkwardly and said, "It was Yuzhu who saved you in the first place."
Agui said sincerely, "Then it's you who have spoken, otherwise I won't survive."
Qi'er didn't want Aunt Lu and Caiwei to know that she had too many things on her hands, so she deliberately interrupted him and said, "Okay, okay, it's all in the past, don't mention it."
When Caiwei heard Agui say that she had known Qi'er two years ago, she immediately wanted to know more and deliberately asked, "Why do you still have roses in your heart?"
Agui said, "This is a flower cake. Qi'er told me to make it. Since Huifangzhai got this flower cake, the store's business has been much more than before."
Caiwei asked, "Did you make this flower cake?"
Agui said, "Yes, you are in luck, this is the last pot."
Qi'er said to Caiwei, "Second Miss, Agui is the chef of Huifangzhai. It would be absolutely surprising if you come to Huifangzhai to find him."
Qi'er deliberately sent Agui away, "Don't you still have something to do? Then go and get busy. I'll come find you when you come back."
Agui bid farewell to everyone and left.
Caiwei and Aunt Lu didn't know what they were talking about with Qi'er. Qi'er's conversational temperament was not like Caixuan's submissiveness before, but Aunt Lu kept looking at Qi'er infatuatedly. Looking at this familiar face, how could she Could it be Caixuan?
Caiwei knew that Qi'er was a translator, so she asked Qi'er many times about the content of the scriptures.
Qi'er knew that Caiwei and Aunt Lu were here to test him, so he deliberately recited passages of scriptures to them, told them about the contents of the scriptures, and also deliberately told them some embarrassing things he had done when he was young.
After hearing this, Caiwei and Aunt Lu were even more certain that Qi'er was not Caixuan, because Caixuan did not dare to do anything out of line.
Qi'er saw that they had relaxed their doubts about him, so he said that he would go back to translate the text for Gongsun Yu and stay away.
Aunt Lu was heartbroken, thinking about what Qi'er said. Could it be that Qi'er deliberately said that he had done something before so as not to make them doubt him?
Caiwei saw that Aunt Lu had not thought about food and tea for many days after she came back, so she deliberately went to Huifangzhai to talk to Agui about Qi'er. In fact, Agui didn't know much about Qi'er two years ago.
Caiwei thought Agui wanted to hide it, so she often chatted with Agui on the pretext of buying snacks, in order to ask Qi'er what happened two years ago.
Over and over again, Agui fell in love with this well-educated and bookish second lady of the prime minister's house. But their identities were very different, so Agui secretly liked him, knowing that Caiwei approached him because of Qi'er's affairs. Although he didn't know much about Qi'er two years ago, he pretended not to tell her in order to see Caiwei more often.
Qi'er was often asked out by Caiwei, and they often went to Huifangzhai. Agui's love for Caiwei was soon discovered by Qi'er.
Qi'er knew that the new emperor would be deposed soon, Yang Min would be killed, and the family would be killed. If she were alive and was the daughter of a guilty minister, she thought that all the women in Quanxiang Pavilion were affected by their families. Knowing that Yang Caiwei would never compromise, it would be better to let her marry Agui. So as long as Yang Caiwei makes an appointment with her, she must find a way to go. Gongsun Yu agreed to be a good person and sent someone by the way.
Qi'er encouraged Agui to confess his love to Caiwei, and said that he could be his master and teach him how to chase girls.
But how could Agui dare? He knew that there was a huge disparity in status and did not dare to confess.
Qi'er repeatedly persuaded her, even if there was no result, could she tell Caiwei that she liked her?
Agui was encouraged by Qi'er many times, and finally one time he plucked up the courage to invite Caiwei to express his feelings, but when he saw Caiwei, he said that the gift he bought was for Qi'er. Let Caiwei be given to Qi'er
Qi'er followed them secretly, and when he heard that Agui didn't express his feelings, he angrily said that Agui was useless. Gongsun Yu said coldly, "How can the apprentice you accept marry the daughter of the prime minister's family?" The implication is that it is impossible to go beyond.
Qi'er doesn't believe it. It means you can have it if you work hard. Even if you don't have it, at least you have worked hard. Leave no regrets to yourself. This sentence seemed to speak to the bottom of Gongsun Yu's heart.
Caiwei discovered Agui's wishful thinking towards her, but she didn't tell the truth, pretending not to know, and still asked Qi'er to Huifangzhai as usual.
