Small snow particles gradually fell from the sky, and winter in the capital was coming again.
Brother Jiu is the one who dislikes this season the most. He can't go anywhere and has to be wrapped up thickly in the house.
After school, Lan Geer came back with two snowmen and placed them outside the window.
Brother Jiu and Brother Yu were sitting side by side in front of the bed. The two little guys stared at the snowman brought back by their brother without blinking.
Brother Lan took a few big gulps of the hot milk and felt warm all over. He looked at the backs of his brothers with a smile and smiled proudly at Lu Qing.
"I knew my brothers would love it!"
Lu Qing wiped the white milk on his lips with a handkerchief: "Did you pile it up with your friends?"
"They were responsible for finding clean snow. I made the snowman!"
The snow was so light that it took a lot of effort to build a snowman as big as two palms.
Lu Qing touched his ears and small hands: "Is it freezing?"
Lan Geer shook his head and shook his feet happily: "Mengbizhai is very warm. It won't take long to build these two snowmen. I'm not cold."
He even promised: "When the snow falls heavier in a few days, my brother will build a big one for you in the yard!"
Brother Jiu's eyes lit up: "The big one!" He likes the big one.
Lan Geer smiled and said: "The pile is huge, I will ask my father to help me when the time comes!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the thick door curtain opened, and a tall man walked in with several bunches of red candied haws in his hand.
The eyes of the mother and son in the room fell on the candied haws. Yan Fuguang smiled helplessly and called, "Come and help me untie my cloak."
After realizing it, Lu Qing stood up and counted the candied haws in his hand while untying his cloak.
Four strings, one for each child, and the remaining one must be for her.
Yan Fuguang handed a bunch of candied haws to Lu Qing. He walked over and sat on the couch, leaning over and looking out from the perspective of Brother Jiu and Brother Yu: "What are you doing?"
"Snowman!" Brother Yu replied abruptly.
Brother Jiu had already reached for the candied haws without any courtesy. Seeing that Lu Qing had already got it, he handed the string to Brother Lan, and then to Brother Yu. The last string was his own.
In a family of five, Yan Fuguang has no candied haws.
Brother Jiu felt that this was not a good idea, so he hesitantly handed the first bite of candied haws to Yan Fuguang's mouth: "Do you want to eat it?"
Yan Fuguang pretended to bite, and Jiu Geer held it up openly, with no trace of heartache or regret.
"You can eat it. There are a lot of them sold outside. Father doesn't like to eat them, so he didn't buy them." He patted Brother Jiu's head and was pleased that the child had grown up.
Brother Jiu swallowed and gently licked it with his tongue. The sweet taste was his favorite. He immediately narrowed his eyes and enjoyed it.
Lu Qing came over holding the candied haws, and she kept the first one for him: "Eat one?"
Yan Fuguang looked at her and smiled, bit into his mouth and chewed it carefully. He still didn't like it, but the taste was different from what he had tasted before.
**
Qiao Siyu was executed with a cane in front of everyone in the house.
To this day, no one dares to mention this person again. They look at Lu Qing silently. It seems that Lu Qing has recovered from his injury, but he is much thinner than before, and his temperament is cooler.
Lu Qing was sitting on the chair. When she saw Chen Qingzi coming over, she said hello: "Sister."
Chen Qingzi came over to talk to her first, and held Lu Qing's hand, which was warmed by Mrs. Tang's covering: "Are you feeling better? If you ask me, if you can't come in such a cold weather, then you shouldn't come."
The greeting is just a formality, to remind them all the time that Ning Huayue is the real wife.
But how many people care about Ning Huayue now? Yan Fuguang didn't care about her, so who would care about her.
"I want to go out for a walk. It's not fun to stay in the house."
Chen Qingzi glanced at her face and nodded: "It seems to be better. When I looked at you before, I always felt that you were worried. It's better now."
Lu Qing smiled and said: "I was so confused all of a sudden that I forgot all the words I said when I tried to persuade you."
Chen Qingzi patted her hand: "Fortunately, you figured it out."
After chatting for a while, Ning Huayue, dressed thickly, was supported by Lingyun into the house.
She caught a glimpse of Lu Qing and said exaggeratedly: "Isn't this Wei's concubine? Why did you come to pay your respects? Has your body recovered? How is the third young master?"
Lu Qing answered one by one: "Yes, I came to say hello to the Crown Princess. She is in good health, and Brother Ninth is also fine."
Ning Huayue was happy in her heart. Qiao Siyu's death had not caused her any loss at all. She was happy to see Lu Qing unhappy.
But it's a pity that mother and son are lucky enough to survive.
"As long as it's okay, just be careful in the future."
"You should be careful, people are separated from each other, and no one knows what others are thinking. Sometimes you don't offend anyone at all, but you are unlucky. When you meet a crazy person, you can only consider yourself unlucky."
Ning Huayue twitched her lips: "It seems that Concubine Wei has made a lot of progress after this incident."
Lu Qing nodded slightly: "Isn't this what it should be?"
The two people were secretly competing back and forth, and many people below lowered their heads and did not dare to interrupt.
Ning Huayue coughed twice: "Okay, let's talk about business..."
Lu Qing withdrew her gaze and listened quietly to Ning Huayue's ramble. There are no big things, just small things. There is nothing new after all. She has bought it for a long time, but Ning Huayue's approach has not changed at all.
After a long time, Ning Huayue finally stopped talking, and Lu Qing and others came out of Yihongyuan in a daze.
Chen Qingzi was waiting for her not far ahead. Lu Qing quickly stepped forward: "Sister, do you have something to tell me?"
"Talking as we walk."
When we came to the garden, flowers and plants were planted where the pond was, and a pavilion was built.
Chen Qingzi walked to the pavilion, and the servants brought the brazier and made tea. Lu Qing followed and sat down.
"I saw Mr. Qiao being beaten to death with my own eyes."
"Thank you sister, I didn't care about anything else at that time."
"I knew you didn't care, so I kept an eye on it. But later I discovered that there might be something fishy about Mrs. Qiao's appearance over the pond."
Lu Qing's heart sank: "What's so strange?"
"That day, Grandma Wang went to Qinfang Courtyard."
Chen Qingzi suspected that it was Ning Huayue who asked Grandma Wang to encourage Qiao Siyu to take revenge on Lu Qing. Otherwise, how could someone who was disfigured and hiding in the house and unwilling to go out have the leisure to wander in the garden and meet Lu Qing?
Lu Qing's throat became tight. If it was really related to Ning Huayue, she would never let her go!
"Did sister find any evidence?"
Chen Qingzi shook her head in shame: "No, I only found out that Grandma Wang went to find Mr. Qiao."
She also felt that saying these words to Lu Qing for no reason caused trouble to Lu Qing, and apologized: "It's because I didn't find out more things, and it doesn't necessarily have to do with her..."
Lu Qing put her hand on Chen Qingzi's hand: "No, sister, your news is very important. I know who she is."
Ning Huayue always liked to target her, and Grandma Wang's appearance was also strange. Coupled with Qiao Siyu, who was always against her, Lu Qing felt that the accident might not really be an accident.
