At this time, Zhang Shiren was lying on the bed with a gloomy look on his face, not knowing what he was thinking.

Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, he raised his eyes and looked over. When he saw Princess Jiaming, who was wearing a bright red palace dress and exquisite makeup on her face, he grabbed a pillow on the side and threw it at it: "I became

Are you happy with this?"

Princess Jiaming turned sideways to avoid the pillow and sat directly beside the bed holding the ingot dumplings: "Your mother asked me to bring this. Eat it quickly. Aunt Lan will come to serve you later."

Zhang Shiren said sarcastically: "Isn't Princess Jiaming very stubborn? Why did she just obey my mother's orders this time?"

Princess Jiaming ignored it, scooped up a Yuanbao dumpling and handed it to his mouth: "Husband, you'd better eat it quickly, it won't taste good if it gets cold."

Zhang Shiren raised his eyebrows, raised his hand and pinched her chin: "So you still know that I am your husband. Who went to the Holy Father over a divorce letter and said loudly and clearly that he was done with me as husband and wife and that he did not want to be a divorcee again?

Housewife’s?”

Princess Jiaming lowered her eyes and stirred unconsciously with the spoon: "You have no intention of me, I will vacate the position of the head wife, so you don't have to wrong Aunt Lan and become a child."

Zhang Shiren stared at her, his smile showing a bit of evil: "You are good at talking today, and you are more attractive than before."

Princess Jiaming scooped up another Yuanbao dumpling with a beguiling smile on her face: "Really?"

Zhang Shiren subconsciously opened his mouth and ate the Yuanbao dumplings. Suddenly, he felt that this woman was interesting, unlike before when she acted like a princess and was annoying.

"Are they delicious? I made these with my own hands." Princess Jiaming smiled again and brought the Yuanbao dumplings to his mouth again: "If you like them, just eat them all."

Zhang Shiren thought he had completely conquered this woman, and he was secretly proud. He opened his mouth and ate the second dumpling: "Well, it tastes good."

Princess Jiaming seemed very happy to be praised, with tenderness in her eyes: "Eat more."

After eating, it’s time to hit the road.

After Zhang Shiren ate the last Yuanbao dumpling and drank most of the hot soup, Princess Jiaming placed the bowl and spoon on the small table beside the bed and looked at him quietly.

For some reason, Zhang Shiren's heart went crazy when he looked at him with such calm eyes, and he couldn't help but ask: "Why are you looking at me like this?"

Princess Jiaming had a strange smile on her face, but what she said was horrifying: "Look how miserable you look when you die of poison!"

Zhang Shiren's expression changed drastically, and he suddenly looked at the bowl and spoon on the table: "Did you poison the bowl?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp pain came from his abdomen, and his face instantly turned pale.

He stared hard at Princess Jiaming and waved his hand to slap her in the face: "Vicious woman, you poisonous woman, how dare you poison me, my grandfather and the others will definitely cut you into pieces!"

Princess Jiaming stood up and avoided it. Looking at his painful appearance, a happy smile appeared on her face: "Don't worry, Zhang Hu, who can cut me into pieces, has already arrived at Naihe Bridge to wait for your reunion."

"Poisonous woman! Poisonous woman—" Zhang Shiren screamed, clutching his abdomen and rolling to the ground. Soon a trace of blood flowed out of his nostrils, which was extremely terrifying.

Looking at his ferocious and twisted face, Princess Jiaming's face showed a look of indifference: "On that day, if your Zhang family is willing to save our mother and son, no matter how much I hate in my heart, I will not kill you. All this today is just what you deserve!"

"

Zhang Shiren struggled painfully, and blood was pouring from his ears. He crawled towards Princess Jiaming with all his strength, grabbed her by the hem of her clothes and begged: "Mother, mother, help, help me, I'm wrong,

It's wrong, I know it's wrong, it's wrong..."

Princess Jiaming raised her foot and crushed the back of his hand hard: "Your grandparents, parents, children, and your Aunt Lan are all dead. What's the point of living alone? Just go with them.

.Don’t worry, I will bury you all together and won’t separate your flesh and blood!”

With a "click", Zhang Shiren's hand bones were crushed, but the poison wreaked havoc in his internal organs, making him unable to feel the pain in his hands at all.

"Poison, poisonous woman..." Zhang Shiren's pupils bulged out and he stared at Princess Jiaming with hatred: "You, you can't be good, you can die——"

Princess Jiaming stepped on his face and looked at him condescendingly: "Even if I don't have a good death, I will send your family on the road and let your Zhang family be in disgrace for thousands of years! How can you survive with seven members of your family?

If I try my best to help Xiaoxiao achieve her wish, my hard work will be in vain!"

Zhang Shiren bleeded from all his orifices, kicked his legs, and died.

There was deathly silence in the room, and a tear fell silently, gradually blooming on the bright red skirt...

Accompanied by bursts of lively firecrackers, people who had eaten Yuanbao dumplings took off their clothes and fell into a deep sleep.

Suddenly, "It's on fire, put out the fire" one after another disturbed people's dreams. They were so startled that they sat up, grabbed the cotton-padded clothes beside the bed, grabbed their shoes and ran out to escape, thinking that their house was on fire.

When they fled outside the house, they saw flames blazing into the sky as far as they could see, and there were distant crackling and burning sounds, and they realized that someone else's house was on fire.

"Oh, look, this is a certain minister's house, right? Oh my God, the fever is so severe, I don't know if anyone has escaped."

"The official's mansion is huge. It's impossible for it to burn down all of a sudden. Someone must have escaped."

"Oh, you are really evil during the Chinese New Year. Why did it catch on fire after everything was going well?"

"Who knows, maybe the charcoal basin ignited something. God can't put out such a big fire with snow."

"Quick, quick, let's go over and put out the fire. Otherwise, if the fire spreads and burns to our area, we will be in trouble!"

"Yes, yes, hurry up and put out the fire!"

Everyone ignored the excitement and went home, picked up their buckets and basins, and hurried towards the direction of the flames. Fortunately, the snow on the ground was quite thick. If there was no water, the snow could also come in handy.

.

Qin Xiaoxiao's sleep was not peaceful. Either she dreamed of Dahuang saying goodbye to her, or Princess Jiaming smiled at her but said nothing.

While half asleep and half awake, she heard a knock on the door, and someone said "Master Hou". Then she felt the person next to her quietly got out of bed, opened the door lightly and went out.

She was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes, so she didn't get up. She listened to the noise outside. She didn't know if the person had gone far away, or if she deliberately lowered her voice. Apart from the rustling of snowflakes falling on the roof, she couldn't hear anything else.

sound.

After a while, the door was pushed open, and a chill blew on her face. She reluctantly opened her eyes, looked at the dark figure about to go to bed, and asked drowsily: "Who called you just now? But what happened?

What happened?"

Jingheng didn't expect her to wake up, so he opened a crack in the quilt and lay down in it. He didn't dare to get too close to her for fear of catching the cold on her body: "It's a big cloth. It is said that a house is on fire."

Qin Xiaoxiao heard this and asked worriedly: "Is the fire very strong?"

In the darkness, Jing Heng's face was extremely ugly, but he did not reveal any strange emotions: "That family has its own courtyard. Because they were discovered in time, the people from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division have already gone to put out the fire."

Qin Xiaoxiao felt relieved and sighed: "It would be better if there were no casualties."

Jing Heng held her hand and said in the same tone as usual: "I will send someone over to inquire about it when it gets daybreak. You can sleep peacefully."

Qin Xiaoxiao felt sleepy, yawned and leaned into his arms: "You should go to sleep too, I have to pay New Year's greetings to my mother tomorrow morning."

Jing Heng responded, held her in his arms, and put one hand on her belly.

After a while, Qin Xiaoxiao's breathing became longer, and a sigh sounded in the darkness.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, it is necessary to pay New Year's greetings to the elders and relatives in the family. Jing Heng took the surname Jing, but the Jing family is not a relative, so on this day the couple only need to pay New Year's greetings to the Princess Protector.

Princess Huguo not only gave one person a piece of lucky money, but also two unborn children, which made Qin Xiaoxiao extremely happy.

It's not that she is coveting the lucky money, but she is still receiving lucky money after getting married, which is a pleasant thing in itself.

Returning to Anyiyuan, Qin Xiaoxiao happily opened three purses and found that her purse was the largest, containing ten 100-tael silver notes. The two children also received 1,000 taels each, and the three of them received a total of 3,000 taels for their New Year greetings.

Jingheng's New Year's money was also one thousand taels. Before Qin Xiaoxiao could say anything, he took the initiative to hand over his wallet to him, and received an approving look like "You really know your stuff."

Qin Xiaoxiao found a sandalwood box, put all four New Year's money in it, and then asked curiously: "How much did your mother give you in the past years?"

Jing Heng's expression paused and he slowly gestured with a finger.

Qin Xiaoxiao said in surprise: "It's also one thousand taels? After all, you have collected 21,100 taels from your mother's New Year's money alone over the years?"

As expected of a wealthy family!

"It's not a thousand taels." Jing Heng corrected: "It's one tael. Every time I get older, my mother adds one more tael."

This year, she probably saw that he was getting married, so she didn't want to favor one over the other because the two children were too small, so Princess Protector was "generous" and gave him a thousand taels.

Qin Xiaoxiao suddenly became happy: "So you have benefited from me this year?"

Jing Heng rubbed her head and had a rare moment of humor: "Well, I am a husband who is valued according to his wife, and a child is valued according to his mother."

"Hahaha~" Qin Xiaoxiao was so happy that she softened her waist and fell into his arms: "Don't worry, I will love you a lot, so that you can always be a husband and a wife, and get a lot of new year's money every year!"

Jingheng also smiled and played with her hand on his waist.

The couple laughed and joked for a while. Qin Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered that the house caught fire last night and asked, "Have you sent someone to inquire? Are there any casualties?"

Jing Heng's eyes flashed slightly and he nodded: "We've sent Dabu over there. I'll ask when they come back later."

Qin Xiaoxiao thought for a while, opened the sandalwood box, took out a banknote from each of the four purses and handed it to him: "Regardless of whether there are casualties or not, it must be hard for them to live without their home. These four hundred taels of silver

Being able to help them overcome the current difficulties will be a blessing for our children."

Jing Heng was silent for a moment, then reached out and took the banknote: "Don't worry, I will use the money for the people who deserve it."

Qin Xiaoxiao didn't understand what he meant, so she closed the lid of the sandalwood box and put it inside the box.

Jingheng left Anyiyuan and called Rock, Paper, Scissors to the study room.

When the door was closed, Shitou stepped forward and reported: "Master Hou, the fire in the Zhang family has been put out. Except for Princess Jiaming and the child, everyone else in the Zhang family was buried in the sea of ​​​​fire, and no body was left intact."

Dabu added: "The child was poisoned and fell into a coma. He was sent to the hospital and is not out of danger yet. Princess Jiaming... Princess Jiaming was burned by the fire and is currently being held in the Five Cities Military and Horse Department, waiting for the Lord's decision."

When people from the Wucheng Army and Horses Division arrived at the Zhang Mansion last night, they found the burned Princess Jiaming and Teng'er, who was unconscious after being poisoned. Princess Jiaming was still conscious at the time and admitted in public that she had set the fire.

She also poisoned Zhang Cifu's family of six.

If an ordinary person committed such a major crime, the Five Cities Military and Horse Division would not hesitate to put him in jail, waiting for the government to conclude the case and then execute him.
