Chapter One Hundred and Ninety-Fourth
"Yes, was Jiang Qingshan harming Lei'er?" Gu Xia'er raised her tears and looked at Ji Xiaotang. ∏∈,
"Ten **." Ji Xiaotang nodded. "Recently, you haven't seen any abnormal movements in Jiang Qingshan?"
"He is very busy these days, often as soon as he goes out for half a day, and sometimes he comes back very late." Gu Xia'er recalled and told Ji Xiaotang that since the peony attempted to poison Changsheng, Jiang Qingshan has almost huddled at home and stopped walking outside. However, he suddenly went out more and more during this period, which is indeed abnormal, and it is consistent with the recent life.
"So, did you find out who he is interacting with?" Ji Xiaotang asked again.
"This, not yet." Gu Xia'er shook her head.
Ji Xiaotang's face showed a look of disappointment.
"Give me some more time, I will definitely be able to find out." Gu Xia'er said hurriedly. After she became Xiaoyue, uncle Gu and Jiang ransomed Jiang Qingshan several times. Jiang Qingshan's attitude towards her became more and more enthusiastic.
This is the first time Gu Xia'er has been treated like this and is so pampered. However, Gu Xia'er was not moved by it. On the contrary, the more Jiang Qingshan wanted to get close to her, the more she became disgusted with Jiang Qingshan.
Every time she needs to mobilize her perseverance in order to endure Jiang Qingshan's approaching.
Jiang Qingshan is very cautious and cunning. Although she loves her so much, she is unwilling to reveal her affairs to her. If you want to find out who Jiang Qingshan is dealing with and what she does, I am afraid her current attitude is not good.
Jiang Qing was very fond of her, but he couldn't believe her completely.
Gu Xiaer is almost certain that Gu Lei'er's death was done by Jiang Qingshan. Now she and Jiang Qingshan have another blood feud, and there is also Master Ji Er...
Gu Xia'er gritted her teeth.
"Xiaotang, give me some more time and I will definitely find out." Gu Xia'er said again.
Ji Xiaotang saw Gu Xia'er's expression turned to resoluteness, and guessed that she must have made some decision.
"Okay." Ji Xiaotang nodded. If Gu Xiaer could easily find out the details, then Jiang Qingshan would not be Jiang Qingshan. Ji Xiaotang wanted to know who Jiang Qingshan was secretly interacting with as soon as possible, but she also knew that this matter required patience.
Patience, Ji Xiaotang never lacks.
"You and Jiang Qiaoer?" After talking about the serious matter, Ji Xiaotang suddenly asked Gu Xiaer again.
"She wishes I could die now." Gu Xia'er said.
The child in Gu Xia'er's belly was secretly abolished by Jiang Qiaoer. Even if Gu Xiaer stole the position of Jiang Qiaoer's housekeeper, Jiang Qiaoer would not want Gu Xiaer to die.⊥,
Ji Xiaotang remembered that the sister-in-law and sister-in-law were not harmonious before, but it was not incompatible with each other.
"She thought her son's death was because of me." Seeing that Ji Xiaotang's eyes were flowing, Gu Xia'er told Ji Xiaotang without hiding it. Gu Xia'er was laughing at the moment, but her smile was a little sad. In addition to the sadness, she seemed to have some other emotions.
Jiang Qiaoer knew that it was Jiang Qingshan who killed her son Ma Yucai, and she could not do anything to Jiang Qingshan for the time being, so she took her anger on Gu Xiaer. Jiang Qiaoer knew very well why Jiang Qingshan attacked her son because she attacked the child in Gu Xiaer's belly.
Ji Xiaotang nodded slightly. At the Jiang family, with Jiang Qingshan protecting her, she was not worried that Jiang Qiaoer could harm Gu Xiaer. However, Ji Xiaotang still instructed Gu Xiaer.
"You have to be careful, and you can't be guarded by being together day and night under the same roof."
Gu Xia'er nodded. Ji Xiaotang's attitude towards her was a little calmer, and even said such considerate words, Gu Xia'er was flattered.
"Xiaotang, you must be careful too." Gu Xia'er took the courage to call Ji Xiaotang's name. Seeing that Ji Xiaotang did not express his disgust, she hurriedly continued, "There are two more... Master and wife, Jiang Qingshan is not a good person, he is abusive to killing people."
"I understand." Ji Xiaotang said. Jiang Qingshan didn't dare yet, nor did he have the strength to attack the Ji family directly.
Ji Xiaotang signaled the little girl to take Gu Xia'er back.
Gu Xia'er stood up and hesitated to talk to Ji Xiaotang about Master Ji Er, but he didn't dare to say anything. Today, he sent a spirit to Gu Lei'er, only Master Ji San went, but Master Ji Er did not go. Therefore, Gu Xia'er just saw Master Ji Er from a distance. Because he was far away, he almost didn't even see Master Ji Er's face clearly.
Watching Gu Xiaer slowly walk out, Ji Xiaotang frowned slightly. She had already vaguely noticed Gu Xiaer's thoughts.
"When this matter is over, Gu Xiaer needs to be properly placed." Ji Xiaotang said to herself.
...
When autumn goes and winter comes, Master Ji San is visiting everywhere, but he never finds Wang Jiaoer. As for the two unsolved cases in the yamen, Magistrate Xie has no idea. For this matter, Magistrate Xie has come to the door to complain to Master Ji Er and complain about his hard work and bad luck. At the same time, he also apologized to Master Ji Er.
Mr. Ji Er personally told County Magistrate Xie that he would be careful and must catch the murderer as soon as possible in Gu Lei'er's case. However, Mr. Xie disappointed Mr. Ji Er.
Jiang Qingshan lies dormant again and almost stays out. County Magistrate Xie is even more unchanged.
Qingyuan County calmed down and the Ji family also returned to peace.
The winter moon begins in a blink of an eye.
On this day, a strange carriage came outside the gate of the Ji family. ()
Ji Xiaotang wore a half-old autumn-scented jacket and skirt, and was wearing a cloak with big red feathers on the outside. He was surrounded by a girl and came to Old Lady Ji's yard. From a distance, he saw a manager and a servant surrounded a strange man into Old Lady Ji's yard.
"Who is that?" Ji Xiaotang asked.
As soon as Ji Xiaotang asked, a wife from the manager came to greet him.
"It was said that a guest came outside, and it was the grandson of the old lady, Qin Xiaogong, who was the old lady, who came to worship the old lady." The wife of the manager reported to Ji Xiaotang with a smile on her face.
"Qin Xiaogong, which Qin Xiaogong?" Ji Xiaotang immediately stopped and asked the manager's wife.
The wife in charge of the affairs was considered to be Ji Xiaotang as young and did not grow up in this Qingyuan ancestral home since childhood, so she told Ji Xiaotang in great detail.
Mrs. Ji was originally four sisters. Mrs. Ji was the eldest sister, and there was also a younger sister, two younger brothers, among which Mrs. Gu was the youngest. Mrs. Ji's other younger brother died of illness at the age of thirteen. She did not get married, so she did not leave any blood. Mrs. Ji had another sister. After she grew up, she married to Huaiyuan County, Ren'an Prefecture, which was only a hundred miles away from Qingyuan.
The old lady Ji's sister, now called the old lady of the Ji family, has died for six or seven years. The old lady of the aunt left behind a son, the father of the youngest husband of Qin.
The father of the little aunt, Qin Xiaogong, passed away earlier than the old lady of the aunt. This little aunt, Qin Xiaogong, was raised by the old lady of the aunt since childhood. Now he has grown up to fifteen years old and has passed the scholarship, so he is called Qin Xiaogong.
"He is the one who came today. It is said that the Qin family's family will move back from Qinzhou. Qin's little husband came back first. Before he could return to the old house in Huaiyuan, he came to worship the old lady." The wife in charge said diligently. The Qin family's ancestors lived in Huaiyuan County, Ren'an Prefecture. After the old lady married, the whole family moved to Qinzhou thousands of miles away. This is also the reason why the Qin family had few contacts with the Ji family.
Ji Xiaotang was silent for a while.
What is coming is coming after all, such as this young husband of Qin.
The youngest husband of Qin was the husband of Ji Xiaoyun in the past century. Ji Xiaoyun died less than two years after she married into the Qin family, and the cause of death was suspicious. At that time, the Ji family had already fallen and had no spare energy to seek justice for Ji Xiaoyun. Old Mrs. Ji finally cried and was blinded. The cause was the root of the disease at this time.
Ji Xiaotang stood there and saw maids and daughters-in-law constantly entering and leaving in the yard of Mrs. Ji, holding things in her hands. Mrs. Ji’s relatives were few, and she was extremely protective of these people. When the young master Qin came, Mrs. Ji wanted to take out all the good things from the Ji family.
Soon, another little girl walked out of the yard of Mrs. Ji. When she saw Ji Xiaotang, she hurriedly dared to come forward, saying that Mrs. Ji had given instructions and asked Ji Xiaotang to see the distinguished guest as soon as possible.
"The second master, the second wife, and the third master have already beaten people and called them." The little girl told Ji Xiaotang again.
"Where is the second girl?" Ji Xiaotang asked.
"The second girl is in the old lady's house and has seen a distinguished guest."
Ji Xiaotang nodded. She was not in a hurry to go to Mrs. Ji's yard, but waited for Mrs. Ji Er, Mrs. Ji Er and Mrs. Ji San, and everyone came to Mrs. Ji's house together.
As soon as I entered the house, I saw Mrs. Ji sitting on the kang, her face full of smiles.
Since Gu Lei'er disappeared, although Mrs. Ji did not cry every day, she still couldn't smile on her face all day long. Now it seems that Mrs. Ji is in a rare good mood because of the arrival of her husband Qin.
Ji Xiaoyun sat next to Old Lady Ji on a chair under the kang. The one sitting opposite Ji Xiaoyun was Xiaogong Qin.
The youngest Qin Gong was named Qin Boyang and his courtesy name was Ruogu.
When Qin Boyang saw someone coming, he stood up quickly. He had not come to the Ji family for many years and did not recognize the people from the Ji family very much. However, he was also smart and quickly guessed the identities of the few people entering the house.
"I think I am the second cousin." Qin Boyang saluted Master Ji Er first.
"That's right, it's your second cousin." Old Mrs. Ji said with a smile, and while making Qin Boyang recognize Mrs. Ji Er and Master Ji San.
Qin Boyang was very proud of his busyness, and he called him the second cousin and the third cousin.
Then, we arrived at Ji Xiaotang.
"This is the second girl of your second cousin, a few years younger than you, and is your cousin. Xiaotang, this is your Qin family cousin, you must have never seen her before." Old Mrs. Ji said.
Ji Xiaotang saluted Qin Boyang with his peers.
Old Mrs. Ji asked everyone to sit down and talk again. Ji Xiaotang took this opportunity to look at Qin Boyang. Qin Boyang has a medium figure, skin as thin as a woman, long face, long eyebrows and high nose, and his eyes are very lively, and he is filled with peach blossoms.
As for the man, Qin Boyang was a little thinner, but no matter who saw him, he had to say that he had a good appearance.
However, who could have thought that under this beautiful human skin, the heart of a beast is hidden?
"... I finally decided to move back. Your cousin's wife will come in a few days. It was really inconvenient to be away from the mountains, south and north of the sea. This time it was great." When Ji Xiaotang came to his senses, he heard Mrs. Ji talking happily.
Old Mrs. Ji was very happy. There was another family relative who could get in and out of the house nearby. The cousin's wife she mentioned was of course Qin Boyang's mother. Now she is widowed at home, and only Qin Boyang is the only son under her knees.
Of course, Master Ji Er and others could only agree.
Old Mrs. Ji asked Qin Boyang many other things about homely, and then mentioned Qin Boyang's grandmother.
"I only have that girl. When I was married in Huaiyuan, I felt that it was not close enough. Who would have thought that after two years of her family, the whole family moved to Qinzhou and cut off our sisters like this. Not to mention the frequent conversations, it would take several months to send letters to me... In the end, she actually left me and went first. I am a legless crab, but she didn't even meet her for the last time..."
Old Mrs. Ji said, and shed tears.
Everyone hurriedly persuaded him, and after a while, Old Mrs. Ji slowly got better.
"You child looks a bit like your grandmother. I feel close to you as soon as I see you." Old Mrs. Ji looked at Mrs. Qin again and said.
"My father often said this when he was alive, saying that when he saw me, he thought of his grandmother. I lost my father since I was a child, and it was thanks to my grandmother who pulled me up. When my grandmother was there, he often talked about my aunt..."
Qin Boyang's voice was gentle and his voice was pleasant.
"Good child, although your grandmother is gone, I still have me." Old Mrs. Ji said. But just after meeting, after a few words, Old Mrs. Ji took over Qin Boyang's big concession.
This is the personality of Mrs. Ji. She is the eldest sister and the most decent and wealthy one among the sisters of the Ji family. She wishes to protect all the relatives of her parents' family under her wings.
"From the future, it's up to my aunt and grandmother to love me." Qin Boyang said hurriedly.
Old Mrs. Ji was even happier when he was so obedient and pleasing.
"You are fifteen years old now, but have you married?" asked Old Mrs. Ji.
"I haven't married, not only did I not marry, but my marriage has not been decided yet." Qin Boyang said with a smile.
"Why didn't you get engaged? I remember your family married early." Old Mrs. Ji was a little surprised.
"Because I planned to move back to Ren An a few years ago, my mother did not tell me about my dearness, saying that she would wait to come back and find a good idea in my hometown." Qin Boyang said.
"Your mother has a scheming, and that's exactly what it is."
As he was talking, a little girl came outside to report that Mr. Gu's family had arrived. Of course, Mrs. Ji called her to hit someone.
"This is your uncle and grandfather's family."
Because Mr. Gu’s family arrived, there were inevitably some greetings. After a while, the Ji family arranged a sumptuous banquet.
"You are rare to come. You have to stay for a few more days. I will talk to you." Old Mrs. Ji said to Qin Boyang again.
"There are still some things to be done in the ancestral home. I came to worship my aunt and grandmother first and then I will go back." Qin Boyang said.
