The heavy snow fell, and the green bamboos in Jinjiyuan were bent down. In the morning, the servants who swept the snow shook the snow off, and the snowflakes fell, and the bent bamboo body returned to its straightness, standing between the vast sky and earth.
Lu Qing collected the threads and folded the snow-white coat in her hands.
Mandong concentrated on looking at the two lively children on the couch, and did not forget to praise Luqing: "Your craftsmanship is so good, it will definitely suit the prince."
Lu Qing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, that's all. She just made a middle coat. If she was praised like this, she would really blush: "I have made so many middle coats for the prince. If I still can't grasp the size, I will I’m even embarrassed.”
Man Dong chuckled, she was used to praising her, and she was blindly confident in Lu Qing, always thinking that Lu Qing could do everything well.
Lu Qing got up and walked around the room a few times to stretch her hands and feet, then picked up the sewing basket again to make a small hat for Brother Lan.
Ji Qin rubbed her hands and came in with a white breath. She said with a happy face: "Master, the prince has sent many things over. Come and take a look!"
I don't know what good thing happened to Yan Fuguang. There were several boxes piled under the verandah of Jinjiyuan, containing fruits and melons that were rare in this season.
Just when she was tired of eating meat, Luqing was happy when she saw these fruits. She said, "Let me clean them up and cut one for me to try first."
Ji Qin responded with a smile, and soon brought a plate of sliced cantaloupe.
The light green cantaloupe has a sweet taste and plenty of water. Luqing invites Mandong and Jiqin to eat it together.
Lu Qing suddenly thought of what happened between He Zhou and Doctor Jiang. She asked, "By the way, hasn't Manager He caught him in the kitchen yet? Has he harassed Doctor Jiang again recently?"
Ji Qin swallowed the last mouthful of cantaloupe, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and said, "We have the handle, but Manager He must also know that you haven't let him go yet, so he doesn't dare to disturb Dr. Jiang."
"What did you catch?"
"I heard someone said that his temperament will change drastically after drinking alcohol, and he will become irritable and irritable." Ji Qin said while clearing the table, "It was said by a waiter in the kitchen that he came home after drinking. It’s too late, I met Guanshi He on the road and saw it with my own eyes.”
Lu Qing nodded lightly and continued: "If he didn't take the initiative to provoke Dr. Jiang, don't do anything yet, and have people keep a close eye on him. As soon as he shows signs of doing it again, let him get out of the house immediately."
Ji Qin responded: "I understand, please don't worry."
A few days after the explanation, something happened in Hezhou.
He was found frozen to death outside Dr. Jiang's yard. It snowed all night. When he was found during the day, only a pair of feet that were frozen beyond recognition were exposed.
"Dead people——!!!"
The death of someone in the mansion was certainly not a trivial matter. Yan Fuguang was not around, so Ning Huayue sent people to gather at her Yihong Courtyard, and then ordered people to go down and investigate the truth of the matter, to see if Hezhou was just unlucky, or was it because of bad luck? Someone is behind this.
Dr. Jiang was called over and stood in the middle of the room to be questioned by Ning Huayue.
Ning Huayue: "Guanshi He died outside your yard. What's your explanation for this?"
Dr. Jiang's eyes were fearless: "Manager He knocked on my door last night. I thought it was inappropriate for a man and a woman to be alone, so I asked him to go back. When I heard no sound outside the door, I went into the house to sleep. "
She only felt unlucky that He Zhou died at Dr. Jiang's doorstep, and she really didn't hear any suspicious movements, otherwise she would never have stood by and ignored a human life.
But Ning Huayue didn't accept Doctor Jiang's explanation. She said indignantly: "Do you know that He Guanshi likes you? He came to me again and again to ask me for a marriage. If Concubine Wei didn't think it was inappropriate, you would have been We are husband and wife.”
Okay, Lu Qing was still pulled into the water.
She simply opened up and said, "Marriage is a matter of your own free will and not wishful thinking. Dr. Jiang can only be forced to accept it. Princess, don't you agree with this point of view?"
"It sounds nice, but now that Guanshi He has been killed, don't you, Concubine Wei and Doctor Jiang, have any regrets in your conscience?"
Lu Qing was amused: "What evidence does the princess have to prove that Guanshi He's death was related to Dr. Jiang and me?"
"If you had let go earlier, He Guanshi wouldn't have suffered the pain of lovesickness and been frozen to death in front of the Jiangyi Women's Hospital in the middle of the night." Ning Huayue sighed deliberately, "He still has an old mother at home, and I don't even think about it. If you dare to send someone to inform Guanshi He of his death, what will the old man do for the rest of his life?"
Lu Qing glanced at Ning Huayue, who was immersed in acting and couldn't help herself, with a half-smile, and said seriously: "Guanshi He is from the palace. If he dies, it will be up to you, princess, to arrange his mother's future life. If you don't want to do anything, If we don’t do it, how will people outside view our palace and the prince?”
It was none of their business. Ning Huayue had gone crazy and insisted on clinging to them, but Lu Qing was not stupid. It was already clear who was responsible, so she didn't need to waste any more words.
Seeing that Ning Huayue was not willing to give in and wanted to question Dr. Jiang, Lu Qing suggested: "He Guanshi, a grown man, lay on the ground and froze to death for no reason. The cause of death is indeed not simple. Princess, why not ask a widow to do the test, which is better than being here all the time?" Empty talk here.”
Chen Qingzi expressed her position at the right time: "I think it's okay, but we can't really let innocent people take the blame. Besides, if the princess said these things, if we don't find out, wouldn't it damage Dr. Jiang's reputation?"
Under pressure from the two concubines, Ning Huayue agreed to invite the widower to perform an autopsy no matter how reluctant she was.
The matter could not be delayed, so Lu Qing and others sat in the room of Yihongyuan and waited all morning.
After a lot of work, he came to the conclusion: "This person was drunk last night, fell to the ground unconscious, and froze to death."
Lu Qing chuckled twice: "Why did Guanshi die unjustly? After drinking, he went to knock on Dr. Jiang's door. Fortunately, Dr. Jiang was cautious and protected herself! It's not a pity for such a wicked person to die. God is really wise. ah!"
With the facts before her eyes, Ning Huayue had no choice but to control Doctor Jiang.
Afterwards, Lu Qing comforted Dr. Jiang: "His death has nothing to do with you. He is dead. We don't have to feel guilty."
Dr. Jiang: "I think so too. I feel at ease now that he is dead. Thank you for speaking up for me today. Otherwise, the princess would have to hold me accountable and I would have to go through a lot of trouble."
Lu Qing also has no shadow at all. Such a thing is not worth fearing or celebrating. It is best to just pretend that you don't know this person.
"Okay, I feel relieved for now, but it is unlucky that he died at the door of your yard. I will find you a new place to move in."
Doctor Jiang said gratefully: "You are so thoughtful, thank you very much."
Lu Qing waved his hand, it was just a small matter.
