"Who?" Ji Mingxiu asked calmly.
Anyone can hear the indifference in his words, but Zhen's eyesight is not good, and her hearing is not good, Zhen's thought he was really asking herself, and said excitedly: "Yao'er, sister Yao, my daughter! You... Your aunt!"
Ji Mingxiu didn't even bat an eyelid: "My aunt's surname is Li, when did someone surnamed Xun appear?"
Mrs. Zhen felt that these words were inexplicably familiar, yes, that stinky girl also said the same thing when she mocked Yao'er for not being her aunt, "My aunt is the princess of the Liang Dynasty", she wondered if the whole family didn't come into the house. The tone of voice is exactly the same!
Zhen Shi glared at Qiao Wei unwillingly, squeezed out two tears, and said, "Eldest young master, you can't ignore us... Even if you don't recognize Yao'er as a sister, you...you too...you also think about Lan Son! She grew up with you! This kind of affection, how can any woman who was killed halfway compare?"
When she said this, her eyes of resentment deliberately swept across Qiao Wei's face, and she almost didn't mention her name.
Qiao Wei spread her hands innocently. She was not a woman who was killed halfway. She was engaged to Mingxiu not long after she was born. At that time, Xun Lan didn't know where Xun Lan was. In truth, Xun Lan was the one who was killed halfway. woman is right.
However, Mrs. Zhen dared to sue her so brazenly in front of her husband-in-law, maybe she had tasted the sweetness of suing her and bolstered her courage? Let her guess, who in the entire Ji family would care about Zhen's
Ah, her charming father-in-law.
She has been howling at the door for a long time, as long as her father-in-law is not deaf, he should have heard it, but still no one came out to respond, what did she think this meant? Does it mean that she needs to cry harder
Qiao Wei looked at Zhen Shi amusedly, Zhen Shi's scalp was numb from her laugh, and she gave her a hard look and said, "What are you looking at? Is there anyone who looks at elders like that?!"
Qiao Wei smiled and said: "I see who you borrowed the courage from to sue me everywhere."
Zhen Shi squeezed the cold sweat guiltily, then forcefully straightened her waist and said, "Is that black? Could it be that you did something wrong?"
Qiao Wei raised her eyebrows: "Is that right, you can ask my husband-in-law."
Only then did Mrs. Zhen realize that she was complaining, but when she was interrupted by this girl, the topic went away, and she quickly looked at Ji Mingxiu and said, "Master, it's like this, Yao'er didn't do anything today, Mrs. Qiao She took two bottles and forced Yao'er to admit that they belonged to her. How could Yao'er do such a thing? She is the kindest person. Yao'er has said several times that she doesn't know, Qiao's If you don't buy it, you beat Yao'er severely, and forced Yao'er to confess all the crimes! Look, young master, isn't it too much for her to treat Yao'er like this?"
"It's really too much." Ji Mingxiu nodded lightly, "Then according to Mrs. Xun's words, how should we deal with it?"
Mrs. Zhen was so happy that she was almost dumbfounded, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses, and said spitting, "Of course I want to imprison her in the ancestral hall and starve her for three days and three nights! Let her copy the volumes of "Women's Rules" and "Women's Commandments" Copy it a hundred times! It’s good to practice your own women’s morality, women’s words, women’s appearance, and women’s skills. Is there any girl like her? She always pushes her aunt to the ground and lifts up a man! She is even educated My daughter doesn't even look like a lady from everyone."
Imagine Ji Shangqing, who couldn't be hugged by several strong men, but was dragged into the yard by Wang Shu like a carrot. Zhen felt that what she said was reasonable. Which girl can't lift her shoulders or lift her hands? If a man is more manly than a man, is that still a woman
Qiao Wei pursed her raised lips, not only complaining about her blackness, but also Wang Shu, Mingxiu is a complete daughter-in-law, Zhen Shi, Zhen Shi, you can do it yourself.
Qiao Wei looked at Zhen Shi and smiled, with her hands behind her back, she swaggered into Tong Yuan.
Zhen looked at her blankly: "Hey, Eldest Young Master! Look! She just left! My words...you haven't finished your sentence yet!"
Ji Mingxiu seemed thoughtful and said: "There is indeed a small ancestral hall in the mansion. A few years ago, a servant girl who was on duty at night fell into the well and drowned. Said that he saw a water ghost. If a water ghost wants to be reincarnated, it must first create a new water ghost, probably that water ghost is looking for a substitute so that he can be reborn."
Zhen's heart trembled when she heard that, she would not admit it, she was most afraid of ghosts in her life.
"What does Mrs. Xun think of that place?" Ji Mingxiu asked.
"Huh?" Zhen was taken aback.
Ji Mingxiu said with a faint smile: "Stop it there, copy the "Women's Regulations" and "Women's Commandments", starve for three days and three nights, and be tortured by water ghosts day and night. Is this in line with Mrs. Xun's wishes?"
Ouch, the eldest young master is the eldest young master, who is more up-to-date than the master of the Ji family. She complained to the master of the Ji family. Although the other party promised her benefits, he was reluctant to punish the little girl. It is better for the young master, not only to Punishment, and punishing people into the haunted ancestral hall, ouch, ouch, she was dying of joy!
"Madam Xun?" Ji Mingxiu looked at her.
Zhen Shi wanted to hold back her smile, but the corners of her brows and eyes were full of smiles: "Okay, okay! The young master is thoughtful, so I just listen to the young master!"
Ji Mingxiu asked, "So Mrs. Xun agrees?"
Mrs. Zhen nodded like a pounding garlic: "Agreed!" One hundred agreed! One thousand, ten thousand agree!
Ji Mingxiu gestured to the gatekeeper of Tongyuan, who led the other two powerful women to step forward and held Zhen Shi down.
Zhen was shocked: "What are you doing?"
The gatekeeper woman said: "Send you to the ancestral hall!"
Zhen said in a panic: "Did you make a mistake? It's not me! It's your young lady!"
The gatekeeper said without even thinking about it: "It's you!"
Zhen looked at Ji Mingxiu with a pale face: "Young master! You, young master, tell them quickly, they made a mistake!"
Ji Mingxiu raised his eyebrows faintly, and a hint of inadvertent banter flashed across his serious expression: "Mrs. Xun herself agreed, what's wrong with them?"
"You..." Only then did Zhen realize that she had been tricked. This kid was not stronger than his father, but he was even more protective of that girl than his father! Didn't she just file a few complaints, and he actually asked someone to lock her up! "I'm a guest of Ji's family! You can't do this to me!"
Ji Mingxiu folded his wide sleeves lightly: "This young master has never admitted that you are a guest, so drag it on."
"Yes!" The gatekeeper woman agreed, and dragged Mrs. Zhen to the ancestral hall with her two companions. In order to prevent Mrs. Zhen from yelling and disturbing the cleanliness of the mansion, the gatekeeper woman took off her stinky socks and stuffed them into Zhen's ancestral hall. In Shi's mouth, Zhen Shi was dizzy from the smell...
When Qiao Wei entered the room, Ji Shangqing had already fallen asleep, it was unknown if she was really asleep or not, but her eyelids were closed anyway.
Li Huan Gu has great side effects on the body. General Mu is young and can resist it. Ji Shangqing's body is half sick, and he has asthma again, which is actually very fatal.
Qiao Wei gave him an injection, and left a prescription for him to be boiled by the servants, who woke him up and told him to take it.
The incident this time was really embarrassing. In the next few months, the father-in-law might not have the face to go out to meet people, but who should it be? After all, it was his own fault. Kindness is a virtue, but if you are blindly soft-hearted, it is not a good thing to lure wolves into your house.
Presumably, after the lesson this time, he should have recognized the reality and dared not soften his heart any more.
…
The Ji family's ancestral hall is in the south of Nanfu, one of the most desolate back mountains. Earlier, it was once bright and beautiful, with a garden-like scenery.
Regarding the rumors of haunting, Ji Mingxiu is not just talking about it. A maid was indeed drowned here, and rumors of haunting did spread after that, but it was verified that it was just a wild cat looking for food. A large ancestral hall was built, and the place was vacant.
Zhen Shi was pushed in, and the door was closed tightly behind her and locked.
"Let me out! Let me out!"
Zhen slammed on the door panel desperately, but there was no response.
The cold wind blew past, and Zhenshi shivered.
The moonlight was good tonight. With the clear moonlight, Mrs. Zhen could clearly see the furnishings in the courtyard. There was a round well near the wall to the south. The mouth of the well was bare and gloomy. Mrs. Zhen stared blankly, always It felt like a white-clothed ghost with long hair would crawl out of it in the next second.
Zhen Shi was frightened half to death, and ran into the house in a hurry.
The house is neatly tidy, and the bedding and cotton wool are all available.
Zhen jumped onto the bed, covered herself in the quilt, and covered her head tightly inside. The cold wind was blowing against the window lattice, and there was a humming sound from the window lattice. At first glance, it sounded like a woman's whisper.
Zhen Shi trembled with fear.
Knock, knock, someone knocked on the door.
Zhen Shi was so frightened that her heart almost jumped out of her throat.
Boom boom boom.
The sound continues.
Zhen Shi did not dare to speak out.
She's not here, she's not here, don't come to her, don't come to her...
"Ma'am, it's me, are you in there?"
It was a gentle and sweet voice, and it sounded like it was only in its twenties.
Zhen felt that the voice sounded familiar, and pulled down the quilt, revealing a pair of slightly red eyes from fear: "Who are you?"
"I'm Xiyue. I heard that they have locked up Madam, so I came here to deliver some food to Madam."
Xiyue, it turned out to be Xiyue, and Xiyue was her maidservant, and this time she came to the capital with her.
Zhen shi heaved a sigh of relief, got up and opened the door for Xiyue.
Xiyue is wearing a rose red tulle dress with a full waist, the delicate skin of her arms is faintly visible under the tulle, her chest is also pulled down extremely low, and she can see the alluring scenery when she bends down slightly.
Xiyue painted exquisite makeup, with cinnabar on the center of her brows, which was so beautiful.
"Ma'am, this is your favorite jujube kernel cake, try it." Xiyue smiled and opened the food box.
Mrs. Zhen picked up a piece of jujube kernel cake and said with relief: "Oh, you didn't know that I was scared to death. I heard that this place is haunted. When you knocked on the door, I thought it was a ghost."
Xiyue smiled sweetly.
Zhen said thoughtfully: "By the way, Xiyue, I seem... I haven't seen you for a long time. After you came to the capital with me, where did you go?"
Xiyue smiled: "I was sent by my wife to dig bamboo in the back mountain, don't my wife remember?"
This memory quickly appeared in Zhen's mind: "Ah, I remembered. But you were digging bamboo in the back mountain, how did you get to the capital?"
Xiyue smiled softly and said, "I came here."
"Oh." Zhen felt that Xiyue's explanation was reasonable and reasonable, took a bite of the jujube kernel cake, and frowned, "Why does it taste so weird?"
Xiyue said: "Is it strange? It is made of bamboo from the back mountain, and there are bamboo rats in it."
As soon as Xiyue finished speaking, a few little mice crawled out of the food box, Zhen's face turned pale with fright, and she stood up!
Zhen looked at Xiyue in panic, Xiyue smiled sweetly, and the breeze blew in her face, making her hair dance with the light gauze. She took out a dagger from her bosom and walked towards Zhen with a smile.
Mrs. Zhen looked at her in horror, and suddenly remembered that Xiyue had died many years ago, and it was her who caused her to be pregnant. Yes, Xiyue's fetal gas moved, resulting in one dead body and two lives.
Since Xiyue was already dead, what happened to the "Xiyue" standing in front of her
"You you... you... what do you want to do?" Zhen Shi asked tremblingly.
Xiyue smiled sweetly: "Avenge me and the child in my womb."
After finishing speaking, Xiyue raised her dagger and stabbed it into Zhen's heart!
Zhen Shi trembled all over, opened her eyes, looked at the beams on the top, touched the cold bed, and then realized that she was having a nightmare. Xiyue had been dead for so many years, but every time in her dreams, she would Can't remember that she's passed away.
It's just too scary.
Zhen took out her handkerchief and wiped off the cold sweat all over her body.
It's too much to lock her up in such a ghostly place!
Dong dong dong, there was another knock on the door.
Zhen Shi thumped and picked up the stool on the ground.
"Mom, it's me!"
Xun Qingyao's low voice came from the crack of the door.
Zhen Shi swallowed her saliva and asked, "Yao'er, is that you?"
Xun Qingyao said: "It's me, mother, you open the door for me!"
Mrs. Zhen opened the door for Xun Qingyao, and Xun Qingyao entered the room empty-handed. She was wearing a cloak, and her figure blended into the night. She looked outside nervously to make sure that there was no one around, and then closed the door again: "Mother , why do you look so pale?"
With lingering fears in her heart, Zhen said: "Mother just had a nightmare. She dreamed that Xiyue came back to ask for her life."
Xun Qingyao touched her face: "Mother, you have been working too hard recently, let's go."
Zhen Shi was surprised: "Go? Where are you going?"
Xun Qingyao said: "Go back to Gusu! My daughter made such a big mistake, and the Ji family will definitely not let us go. Instead of waiting for them to do something, we should go first. I have already found out that the back door is unguarded tonight. , we can slip out the back door."
"But..." Zhen hesitated.
Xun Qingyao stomped her feet: "Don't worry, mother, let's go! When Ji's family finds out, it's too late for us to leave!"
Zhen said anxiously: "The jewelry I bought, I have to take it away!"
That's worth a lot of money! If she falls in Ji's house, she will die of heartache!
Xun Qingyao shook the extra baggage on her right hand: "Mother, I have brought them all, look!"
Zhen patted her chest with a smile: "Just put it on, let's go!"
Xun Qingyao nodded: "Okay!"
Zhen Shi vaguely felt that she had forgotten something, but for a while, she couldn't remember what it was exactly.
The mother and daughter walked out of the old ancestral hall hand in hand. Maybe it was because of the nightmare that frightened her legs, but Zhen always felt that she couldn't walk.
Xun Qingyao took her hand and said in a low voice, "Mother, hurry up, it's almost dawn, and then you won't be able to leave!"
Mrs. Zhen also wanted to go fast, but her legs were as if they were filled with lead, and she couldn't move a step. Even if she exerted all her strength, she could only take a small step. She's about to collapse herself.
This place is so close to the ancestral hall, could it be that Xi'er's soul is also nearby
Xun Qingyao said: "Mother, don't look back!"
Why can't we go back? Is there something behind? Zhenshi was afraid and couldn't hold back the curiosity in her heart, so she turned her head and took a look. This look almost scared her away!
"Xiyue!" she yelled.
Xun Qingyao said, "What nonsense are you talking about, mother?"
Zhen rubbed her eyes, pointed to a black shadow behind and said, "Xiyue! It's Xiyue! She's come looking for me!"
"Mother, you made a mistake. It's just a shadow of a tree. Don't be nervous, that's not Xiyue." Xun Qingyao held Zhen's face in her hands, "Look at me, I am Xiyue."
Zhen Shi took a closer look, and Xun Qingyao's face really turned into a happy moon. At that moment, she swore that her gallbladder really burst.
Xiyue raised a big ax and slashed at her head!
With an "ah", Zhen rolled to the ground, opened her eyes, and found that she was still in that gloomy room. There was no light in the room, and the moonlight shone in through the window paper, making it a cool white.
Just another dream!
A dream within a dream is too scary!
Mrs. Zhen was drenched in cold sweat, panting heavily, and wanted to call a maid to come in, but realized that she had already been imprisoned in the ancestral hall of Ji's family. Who else could call her
Terribly thirsty, she touched the teapot on the table, opened the lid to see if there was water, but suddenly a mouse jumped out of it.
"ah-"
Zhen Shi was so frightened that she ran out of the house and ran to the door. The door was opened from the outside. Xun Qingyao was wearing the same cloak as Zhen Shi in her sleep, standing there with a lantern.
Zhen Shi just glanced at it, then rolled her eyes and passed out...
…
The next day, the weather was fine.
Qiao Wei was woken up by Bi'er and Yan'er's laughter, got up and put on her clothes, and asked what kind of happy event they had in their house, Yan'er pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Mrs. gone."
After Qiao Wei washed up, she dressed neatly and went to Guixiangyuan.
The Guixiang Courtyard was full of chaos, and from afar I heard Zhen's roar, saying "Go away, go away, go away", "Take away, take away, take away".
Qiao Wei walked to the door, a box flew out, Qiao Wei raised her hand to catch it, good guy, isn't this the box from Baolinzhai? How could Mrs. Zhen be willing to throw it away
Qiao Wei opened the box, and there was Baolinzhai's ruby and gold jewelry inside.
"Go away! I don't want it! Take it away!"
As if in a daze, Zhen knocked everything down on the ground.
Qiao Wei raised her eyebrows and grabbed Xiao Cui who was passing by: "What's wrong with her?"
Xiaocui said in fear: "I don't know what happened to Mrs. Xun. Last night, my servant accompanied Miss Xun to visit Mrs. Xun in the ancestral hall. When Mrs. Xun saw Miss Xun, she fainted. She woke up like this. She took Miss Xun Her face is scratched, what can I say...Miss Xun was transformed by that vixen Xiyue...she doesn't even want the jewelry that Miss Xun gave her, everything is changed by rats..."
Bi'er snickered: "Is she possessed by a ghost? I heard that the ancestral hall is haunted by ghosts."
"Do you believe that kind of nonsense?" Qiao Wei went into the room and looked at Mrs. Zhen. Mrs. Zhen was obviously terrified. She probably won't be able to recover for a while. She was so frightened after being locked up in an ancestral hall. Don't worry about it, shall we
It's your own fault.
Qiao Wei didn't bother to talk to Zhen Shi, and took Bi'er back to Qinglianju.
Mrs. Zhen refused to stay at Ji's house no matter what she said, and took her son into the carriage back to Gusu. Not only did she not want the jewelry that Mrs. Li bought for her, but she also kicked Xun Qingyao off. Qiao Wei was seriously injured when she stepped on it, but her ribs were broken by her mother's kick.
The servants were in a hurry, asking for instructions from the old lady, the young lady, and Mrs. Li, after tossing until dark, they finally sent this unfortunate family to the carriage back to Gusu.
In Qinglianju, where plum blossoms are overflowing, Qiao Wei is sitting on a rattan chair in the corridor, beside Ji Mingxiu, who is rarely able to take a break from her busy schedule.
Ji Mingxiu held her hand and looked at the two little ones running around in the yard, with unconcealable pampering in his eyes.
Qiao Wei leaned on the back of the chair comfortably: "There are no eyesores, and the air is fresh."
Ji Mingxiu jokingly said, "Would you like to celebrate, Master Qiao?"
"Yes!" Qiao Wei said: "You said it yourself, don't go back on your word."
Ji Mingxiu leaned close to her, and breathed warmly against her ear, her small earlobe instantly caught fire, so red that it was almost bleeding: "I can't sit still at home, can I?"
Qiao Wei's ears were burning, her heart was crispy, and she hummed with her red ears. She hadn't gone out for several days, and she almost forgot what the prosperity of the capital was like.
Ji Mingxiu patted her forehead and smiled dotingly: "Go and change clothes."
"Are you really going out?" Qiao Wei said.
"Don't want to go?" Ji Mingxiu asked.
Qiao Wei stood up: "Go, go! Two minutes!"
Ji Mingxiu got along with her a lot, and probably understood the concept of minutes, and counted them in her heart, and sure enough, before she finished counting, she came out wearing a refreshing royal blue short jacket and a plain white dress.
It was a little late, so I didn't take the two little guys with me, and went out arm in arm.
The streets are full of New Year's goods, and pedestrians are crowded with each other, which is very lively.
Qiao Wei was in a good mood, and wanted to see everything, couplets, New Year pictures, blessing characters, colored lanterns... She picked some of each, and Yan Fei was standing behind her, with both hands fully embraced.
Yan Feijue said resentfully: "I said, can you not buy it? I'll tell you when an assassin or something comes later, I don't even have hands to fight!"
As soon as Yan Feijue finished speaking, the "Assassin" came out of the alley. This assassin was none other than the man in black robe who had fought Yan Feijue several times.
The black-robed man was injured by Ji Mingxiu's poisonous arrow. After taking the antidote pills, he was fine and followed the three of them silently.
Qiao Wei was picking New Year pictures in front of her. Ji Mingxiu was keenly aware of the strangeness behind him. With a flick of his eyes, he stroked Qiao Wei's back: "I'm a little hungry, let's go eat something."
Qiao Wei smiled: "Okay! What do you want to eat?"
Ji Mingxiu looked at the opposite side and said: "The sheep scorpion in that restaurant is good, you go in and wait for me, I will go nearby and buy two bunches of candied haws for Wang Shu Jingyun to take back."
"Okay!" Qiao Wei entered a restaurant diagonally opposite without doubting him.
Ji Mingxiu led Yan Feijue into the alley, but the other party didn't catch up, but turned around and entered the restaurant.
Yan Feijue was dumbfounded: "What is the situation?"
Ji Mingxiu's eyes turned cold: "We have been mistaken all this time. The person he is following is not me, but Xiaowei."
Except for the last encounter with the black robe, he was with Qiao Wei the other three times. He had thought that the other party might be targeting any one of them, but he thought it was him. After all, Qiao Wei was just an ordinary person. It is impossible for the daughter of the Qianjin family to get into trouble with the forces of the Yin clan.
The man in black robe entered the restaurant.
Qiao Wei asked for a wing room on the second floor, ordered a sheep and scorpion hot pot, sat by the window, and enjoyed the scenery on the roadside.
The man in black robe walked up the stairs step by step.
The shop clerk smiled and said, "Objectively, the upstairs is full of customers, please sit down below!"
The man in black robe ignored him, the waiter wanted to drag him, but when he touched the evil spirit all over his body, he withdrew his hand resentfully.
The man in black robe walked up to the second floor and came to the door of Qiao Wei's wing.
Qiao Wei stretched her waist, and in a blink of an eye, she saw Yan Feijue standing downstairs waving at her.
She also waved her hand: "what's the matter?"
The din of voices drowned out her words.
Yan Feijue anxiously chopped off his right hand with his left hand.
Qiao Wei didn't understand.
Yan Fei scratched his head and pointed to the right.
Qiao Wei looked to the right and saw a few pears on the small table, she said with a smile, "Do you want pears? I'll bring them to you!"
Qiao Wei turned around and went to pick up pears from the small table.
It all happened in an instant. The black-robed man came to the door, a brothel across the street, and Ji Mingxiu stood at the window, holding the God-breaking crossbow, looking at him with piercing eyes, and pulled the trigger with his finger.
With a bang, the arrow flew up, flew into Qiao Wei's room, flashed past Qiao Wei's back, and shot straight at the heart of the man in black robe.
The man in black robe flicked his sleeves sideways, and the arrow hit the chandelier on the top. The huge chandelier fell down, the candle fell to the ground, and the lobby was in chaos.
The black-robed man gave Ji Mingxiu a cold look, gritted his teeth, and walked away!
Behind Ji Mingxiu, a pair of naked men and women covered themselves in the quilt, shivering. They were having a good time, but somehow a man suddenly rushed in, holding a bow and crossbow that can only be found in military camps. The murderous air scared them so much that they forgot to call for help.
"Here, your pear." Qiao Wei threw the pear to Yan Feijue.
Who wants to eat pears
Yan Fei caught the pear and took a bite, oh, it's so tender!
…
The chaos in the restaurant was short-lived, and it was quickly cleared up by the capable shopkeeper. Yan Feijue took back the arrow and secretly put an ingot on the counter as compensation.
The lamb scorpion hot pot here is red soup with spicy and spicy taste. Qiao Wei is so hot that she is sweating, but she is very addicted.
Ji Mingxiu didn't eat mutton, but took a few mouthfuls of side dishes, and a large pot of mutton scorpions all went into the stomachs of Qiao Wei and Yan Feijue.
Qiao Wei was too full to walk, she leaned against Ji Mingxiu's arms with her stomach in her hands.
Ji Mingxiu put his arms around her waist and helped her down the stairs.
The carriage soon arrived at Ji's house. Qiao Wei rubbed her chubby belly, hiccupped, and pressed her forehead against his chest: "I can't walk."
Ji Mingxiu carried her out of the carriage.
She wrapped her hands around his neck, resting her head on his shoulders, her whole body was surrounded by a little happiness, her face was rosy, and the corners of her lips curled up unconsciously.
Ji Mingxiu carried her back to Qinglianju. The children were already asleep and the yard was quiet. The gatekeeper's mother-in-law was so shocked that she almost couldn't close her mouth when she saw that the young master had personally carried the young mistress back.
Qiao Wei thought about it halfway, and it's fine if no one messes with it. In front of so many people, she still needs the majesty of the leader!
But Ji Mingxiu just didn't let go, he just carried her into the room and put her on the bed: "Go to bed first."
"Huh?" Qiao Wei blinked, "Aren't you going to sleep?"
Ji Mingxiu took off her shoes and tucked her into the soft blanket: "I still have something to do, let's go out for a while."
Qiao Wei nodded.
Ji Mingxiu tucked her in the quilt, then went to the next room to see the two sleeping children, then turned around and left Qinglianju.
The heavy snow that had stopped for two days fell again one after another. Qiao Zheng saw off the last guest of Ganoderma Lucidum Hall, rubbed his sore neck, and was about to call the waiter to close the door when he saw a carriage stopped at the door.
Yan Feijue sat on the outer seat and yawned.
The curtain of the car was lifted, and Ji Mingxiu came down.
Mr. Qiao Zheng was startled, and then looked at him strangely: "It's so late, why did you leave my daughter behind and come to Lingzhi Hall alone? Are you living with my daughter or me?"
Ji Mingxiu walked in front of him lightly, and the moonlight shone from behind Ji Mingxiu. His tall shadow suddenly covered the entire lobby, and the atmosphere in the lobby was stagnant.
"Is there something you are hiding from me?" Ji Mingxiu asked solemnly.
Qiao Zheng said, "What is it that you are hiding from you?"
Ji Mingxiu said in a low tone, "Xiaowei's life experience."
Qiao Zheng just choked: "She, her background? What are you talking about? I don't even understand."
Ji Mingxiu looked at him fixedly and said, "Nanchu Divine General's Mansion brought a very powerful guard. That guard is not from Nanchu, nor from Daliang. He followed Xiaowei several times. I would like to ask my father-in-law Firstly, Xiaowei has never been out of the capital, and secondly, she has never been to Nanchu, how did she get into trouble with such a powerful person?"
Qiao Zheng's complexion changed: "He went to look for Xiaowei? Did he do anything to Xiaowei?"
Ji Mingxiu narrowed his eyes: "You really know?"
Qiao Zheng realized that he had slipped his tongue, so he quickly bit his lip, turned his back, and looked like a doormat.
Ji Mingxiu glanced at the clerk, the clerk retreated tactfully, Yan Fei stepped across the threshold boredly, and closed the door for the two of them from the outside.
When things got to this point, it was pointless for Qiao Zheng to hide any more. Sitting on a chair, he sighed and said, "I never thought that such a day would come true. After all, it has been twenty years since no one came to my door. I So I thought that Qingluan was wrong, those people might never know her existence for the rest of their lives."
Ji Mingxiu frowned suspiciously: "Mother-in-law expected such a day from the beginning?"
Qiao Zheng nodded.
Ji Mingxiu asked, "Then who are these people?"
Qiao Zheng said, "It's from her hometown."
Ji Mingxiu's eyes moved slightly: "Is she from the Yin clan?"
"What is the Yinzu?" Qiao Zheng asked. He was not from the Jianghu, so he didn't know the rumors of the Jianghu, so he had never heard of the Yinzu.
Ji Mingxiu explained: "In one place, that black-robed man belongs to the hermit family. Don't you know your wife's background?"
Qiao Zheng cleared his throat, pretending to be calm and said, "Do you have to know?"
Ji Mingxiu has been investigating Shen's whereabouts these days. He guessed that the other party may have a lot of background, but he never expected that it would be a member of the Yin tribe who has never seen the end of the dragon. This is really shocking.
While shocked, I also found it difficult. For so many years, no one from outside the world has ever entered the Yin Clan. If Shen was taken away by the Yin Clan's disciples back then, it would not be an easy task to find her. up.
Thinking of something, Ji Mingxiu asked: "You have been adamant that she is still alive all these years, why?"
Qiao Zheng lowered his eyes, and said in a low voice: "She doesn't die so easily. When I met her, she was hacked seven or eight times, and the blood was almost drained, but she survived with all her might." Come here, not only alive, she also... "
Speaking of this, Qiao Zheng suddenly stopped.
"So what?" Ji Mingxiu looked at him.
"Still..." Qiao Zheng straightened his body, "He's still alive and well!"
Intuition told Ji Mingxiu that Qiao Zheng was hiding something. Not only did Shen survive, she must have done something, and this incident was probably related to Qiao Wei.
Qiao Zheng glanced at Ji Mingxiu quickly, and almost slipped his tongue, but fortunately he reacted quickly.
Gathering his mind, Qiao Zheng said again: "She came back from the Palace of the King of Hades, how could she give up her life so easily? She hasn't found her child yet, and she hasn't heard Xiaowei call her mother, she won't Willing to die."
This information is very important. The Shen family was hunted down, so the life of the Shen family in the Yin Clan must not have been peaceful. Over the years, have those people been wiped out? If not, wouldn’t it be very dangerous for Xiaowei to go back?
"Did she mention her enemies to you?" Ji Mingxiu asked.
Qiao Zheng shook her head: "No, she just said that one day in the future, they might come to Xiaowei, and it would be great if Xiaowei married into Ji's family."
Ji Mingxiu's eyebrows twitched: "Is it really your plan to marry into the Ji family?"
Qiao Zheng scratched his head in embarrassment, and said lightly, "Don't say it so harshly, my daughter obviously doesn't want to marry you, and I don't know who snatched the marriage certificate. I nodded and agreed to all kinds of temptations!"
Ji Mingxiu looked at him with heavy eyes, Qiao Zheng was so scalped that his scalp would explode, and he said helplessly: "Forget it, I say that's it! The marriage back then was indeed calculated by Xiaowei's mother! She gave the queen The empress is sick, and only she can cure her in the whole world. She blackmails the empress, and you can cure it. First, make a marriage between my daughter and the young master of the Ji family."
This courage!
He actually threatened the Queen's head!
What Qiao Zheng didn't say was that Xiaowei's mother originally wanted to blackmail the emperor, but he couldn't be afraid, so after talking about it for a long time, her mother reluctantly changed it to blackmail the queen.
Ji Mingxiu took a deep breath. If he hadn't heard it with his own ears, he probably wouldn't believe that the marriage was actually written by his mother-in-law: "Since your mother-in-law is so capable, why don't you let the prince marry Xiaowei?"
Qiao Zheng thought about it seriously: "Yeah, I'm also very puzzled, obviously the princess is better..."
Ji Mingxiu's face darkened, let me be polite to you, you take it seriously!
…
Coming out of the Ganoderma Lucidum Hall, Ji Mingxiu boarded the carriage back home.
Although Yan Feijue was outside the door, he missed a word he should have heard. He asked suspiciously: "Young master, that black robe is so powerful in martial arts, why didn't he go to the Ji family to arrest anyone?"
This is also where Ji Mingxiu is puzzled. Judging from the situation with the opponent, the opponent is fully capable of abducting a woman from the Ji family. Although Qiao Wei is not an ordinary woman, the opponent does not know this, so why did he not slip away? How about going to Ji's house for a try
Is there anything in the Ji family that makes him afraid
Ji Mingxiu's eyes paused for a moment: "Send Yi Qianyin and Feng Qingge, hurry to the capital!"
…
The moon was dark and the wind was high, a vigorous figure climbed over the high wall, and slipped into Qinglian House strangely and swiftly.
The male host is absent, which is fine.
The hostess was asleep and fine.
The two little kids also snored, which was very good.
The leader raised the corners of his evil lips, and took out a small porcelain bottle from his bosom. After opening the cork, a small Gu worm flew out. The little Gu worm walked around in every room, and then flapped its wings, looking at Wang Shu. Lingering outside the window with Jingyun.
The Hierarch narrowed his eyes: "Here is my mask?"
That's right, after Qiao Wei brought the golden mask back to Qinglianju, Wang Shu took a fancy to it at a glance. Wang Shu asked for the mask and fell asleep with it in his arms.
Wang Shu was sleeping on a luxurious golden bed, with one leg on his elder brother's body, snoring evenly.
The leader came to the door, gently opened a gap, and was about to go in, when two white eyes shot out like lightning, it was Dabai and Xiaobai.
The leader's evil eyes narrowed: "Yun Diao..."
Dabai and Xiaobai stared at him covetously, their eyes were extremely fierce!
The leader took out two fragrant poison pills from his arms, and threw them on the ground in a very friendly manner.
Xiaobai stuffed the poison pill into his mouth in one gulp!
Wow!
Delicious! It tastes better than any candy it has ever eaten!
Handsome brother is a good person!
Seeing that Xiaobai was eating happily, Dabai stuffed the poison pill into his mouth in one gulp, then Dabai rolled his eyes, vomited blood, and fell to the ground!
One white was bribed, the other was poisoned, and the plan went smoothly.
The leader smiled and glanced at Xiaobai, who sat obediently on the ground and looked at him cutely.
The leader took out the dagger from his arms, and smiled sinisterly: "Stupid Ji family, how dare you steal my gold, you will pay the price for your stupidity, I will kill you! Take back the gold that belongs to me. Seat stuff!"
At this time, Wang Shu, who was awakened by peeing, jumped out of bed.
I can't hold it anymore, I can't hold it anymore, I want to pee!
Wang Shu covered his little ass with one hand, ran towards the door quickly, and pushed the door open with a bang!
The leader standing behind the door didn't realize what was going on at all, and was shot into the wall by the suddenly opened door!
