"Where is the best place?" Chu Yunli mocked: "In the village, we work at sunrise and rest at sunset. There is no intrigue or cynicism. No one uses their status to oppress others.
Thousands of miles away from people, and relying on those mountains, we have no shortage of meat to eat, let alone vegetables. People in the capital will never be able to live such a comfortable life. "
This was quite reasonable, but Mrs. Qin couldn't admit it, and she didn't dare to refute it openly, for fear of offending people even more, so she forced a smile: "Now you are being served, and you have fine clothes and delicious food..."
Her words were paused when she met the clear eyes of the woman in front of her.
Chu Yunli sneered: "Not everyone can be Mrs. Hou. When I first came to the capital, I didn't think my medical skills were very good. If I hadn't been neglected by you and forced into desperation, I wouldn't have thought of going out to treat illnesses and save people.
In exchange for silver. Let’s put it this way.
If you were smarter and were more patient and polite to me, maybe I would really be coaxed by you and locked up in the backyard of your Qin Mansion for the rest of my life, and be your family’s exclusive doctor. When the day comes that you can’t tolerate me anymore, right?
The house was defenseless and I was afraid I might have died in my sleep."
This is true.
Bingxue didn't know what was meant by neglect, and she didn't know that when she was moved to that side yard, she had already shown the master of the Qin Mansion's dislike for her. She only thought that she came to the capital for Qin Xiaoyu, and believed Qin Xiaoyu's words that he would protect her for the rest of his life.
.He was so ignorant that he lost his life.
Mrs. Qin was a little embarrassed: "You are really good at joking."
Qin Xiaoyu was so ashamed that he envied Le Tai'an for being able to embrace a beautiful woman, but he also knew that he could not be as free and easy as him. It was impossible for the legitimate son of the Qin family to really marry a country girl.
Precisely because he knew this, the promises he made after encountering Bingxue were always ambiguous.
Mrs. Qin soon discovered the change in her son's mood, and she suddenly began to regret again. Why did she invite Bingxue here for nothing? She was afraid that her son would be even more uncomfortable after today and would not want to live anymore.
"Doctor, can you do anything about my son's illness?"
Chu Yunli shook his head: "No!"
Mrs. Qin: "..."
She specially came to invite people today. Firstly, she wanted her son to rekindle his fighting spirit after seeing Bingxue and stop looking lifeless. Secondly, she just didn't want to give up yet. What if Bingxue changed her mind and was willing to save people?
Now it seems that this was a mistake from the beginning.
Qin Mingyue never showed up. She was afraid that she would not be able to control her temper and would quarrel with Marquis Dingguo and his wife again in person.
Luo Xing came back from the border and was taken into custody when he entered the palace to resume his duties.
He had already guessed what would happen to him when he came back on the road, and he also thought about running away... He went to hide in the deep mountains and old forests alone. With his many years in the army, he probably wouldn't starve to death or die.
Swallowed by wild beasts. But what should the Luo family do?
If he can run, where will the huge Luo family run?
During the time Luo Xing came back, the emperor had made inquiries from all sides and found out that he was the real murderer, so he immediately took him to the Ministry of Punishment.
As for the poisoning, Luo Xing had no defense. What the emperor wanted to know was whether there was anyone who instigated him to do these things.
Luo Xing confessed and denied that anyone had instigated him. He said that he was jealous of Le Tai'an's prestige at the border. He also said that Le Tai'an was still young and as long as the Marquis of Dingguo was around, he would not be able to get ahead.
"When Marquis Dingguo gets old, I will no longer be able to climb a horse...I will not give up."
This was quite reasonable, and the emperor did not force himself. With a wave of his hand, he sentenced Qiu Hou to be beheaded.
Everyone who heard about this incident felt very happy, but some people had different ideas, such as the Luo family.
Mr. Luo visited his colleagues everywhere, trying to plead for his son. Mrs. Qiao felt as if the sky had fallen. Her son finally came back, and without even seeing her, he was taken to the prison. She couldn't accept it at all.
She said that the moment her son was sentenced to death by Qiu Houwen, she fell straight back.
After waking up, she also started running for her son.
After turning around like a headless fly, he learned that his son had been poisoned. The only chance of survival at this time was with Marquis Dingguo.
If the victim does not care and is willing to be the guarantee, then the son will definitely be able to save his life.
At this time, Ms. Qiao didn't want her son to be a proud ancestor, as long as he could live. When she came to the door, she brought a very thick gift, which was very humble.
At that time, Le Tai'an entered the palace, and there was Chu Yunli in the palace.
I didn't want to see her at first, but she was crying and begging... No matter how bad the Luo family was at raising a son, and they might have participated in the fight for the crown prince, at least now Qiao still had a high-class wife.
No matter how powerful the Dingguo Houfu is, they are only the emperor's ministers.
"Mrs. Luo, you are like this, you really don't even have any face."
Hearing Chu Yunli's reproachful words, Mrs. Qiao didn't take it seriously, her eyes were red and she said, "My son is going to die, so what's the use of saving face?"
She looked around: "I want to see Mr. Hou."
"I'm really not here." Chu Yunli shook his head: "I asked the concierge to make it clear to you just now. The Marquis has entered the palace and was summoned by the emperor. He will not be able to come back for a while."
Qiao thought it was just an excuse for Marquis Dingguo and his wife not to see her. After hearing this, she sat slumped on the chair. But if she wanted her to just accept her fate...if she really wanted to accept her fate, she wouldn't
Appear here.
"Mrs. Hou, my son has indeed done some bad things. I'm sorry, Mr. Hou. I am also at fault for raising my son like this." She stood up, knelt down in a polite manner, and kowtowed: "Please forgive me, Madam."
Treat my son once, as long as you are willing to let him go, I will agree to whatever you ask me to do."
Chu Yunli looked at the man lying on the ground and shook his head: "Your Majesty has spoken so eloquently, we husband and wife have no ability to make the Emperor change his words. Besides, Luo Xing deserves it. The Marquis met me, so he was lucky enough to save his life."
, if I had not come to the capital, he would probably have lost his mind now. The Hou Mansion has already finished the funeral. At that time, your son became the number one person in the frontier..."
"These are just your conjectures." Mrs. Qiao almost collapsed: "But the fact is that you came and you saved the Marquis!"
Hearing the sadness and anger in her tone, Chu Yunli asked: "Do you blame me?"
Qiao lowered her head reluctantly: "I don't dare."
It’s because I don’t dare, but it’s not because I’m not surprised!
Chu Yunli did not argue with her, but suddenly thought of something else, touched her chin and asked, "I remember that you were willing to promote the relationship between Li Ruoyun and Mr. Hou. Your aunt really loves her niece."
Hearing this, Mr. Qiao's expression was a little distorted.
Because of this incident, the Li family felt that she was pushing Li Ruoyun into the fire pit and refused to help from the beginning to the end.
Did this ice and snow really come from a small place?
Every sentence he speaks touches people's hearts and makes them feel particularly uncomfortable.
Ms. Qiao had to admit that her trip to the Hou Mansion was in vain. When she walked out of the door, she was quite lost.
After her son is ruined, her life will have to go on. The words of Mrs. Dingguo Hou just reminded her that she cannot be resented by the Li family. Otherwise, the family may not be able to have peace in the future.
She sent the carriage to Li's house.
Li Ruoyun canceled the Qin family's marriage because they were not compatible, but anyone with a discerning eye would know what was going on.
It is really unscrupulous for two families to get married and break off the engagement immediately after seeing each other injured. Mother Li also knew that her family would be discussed privately, and she did not want to re-engage her daughter immediately... She planned to wait for this
Let’s talk about it after the limelight has passed.
Mother Li was quite impatient when she heard that her mother-in-law came to the house, but she also knew that Mrs. Qiao went to the Hou Mansion to cry and make trouble. If this happened again at the door of her own house, the Li family really could not afford to lose face.
Therefore, Qiao's entry was relatively smooth.
"younger sister."
Mother Li was willing to let her in, not because she forgave her. When she heard this address, she sneered: "I can't bear it. Mrs. Luo, please just say it."
"I asked Ruoyun to marry into the Hou Mansion... I didn't think it would happen. I guessed from the beginning that you wouldn't agree, so I brought it up without any scruples." Ms. Qiao smiled bitterly: "Now I have
If you have suffered retribution, don’t be angry with me again.”
Mother Li said coldly: "Your family has such a clever poison, I don't dare to have a grudge against you. If some of it falls on me one day, I might die without even knowing what happened."
When she married into the Li family, she was quite jealous of her husband because of her husband. What she despised the most were those officials who used crooked ways to climb the ranks.
Before Mrs. Qiao came, she had guessed that she would be ridiculed, so she was not angry. She apologized and said good things. She also promised not to interfere in Li Ruoyun's marriage in the future, and also said that she would help Li in the future.
Mrs. Li listened indifferently, not taking it seriously at all, and asked: "You went to the Hou Mansion, who saw you?"
It's a good thing to be willing to talk, but Mrs. Qiao started to show her misfortune: "Mrs. Hou saw that country girl who came to the capital not long ago, but her words were venomous, and her words were heart-breaking. I really... After going there, I felt even worse.
"
"Yes!" Li's mother said rudely: "Who asked you to go? If your son poisoned my husband, I wouldn't feel good about it. Don't say a few unpleasant words. I'm afraid I'll hit him if I get angry.
of."
Then she thought about the terrible marriage that her mother-in-law's sister-in-law had told her daughter about. The poison was caused by Luo Xing. The Luo family knew best how powerful it was, but this sister-in-law was so good that she took the initiative to propose this marriage... The key is, even if it is set.
The prince is getting better, Luo Xing's poisoning is a fact, and the two families are already mortal enemies. Under such circumstances, how can Ruoyun interact with her natal family after getting married? How can she interact with her uncle?
Mrs. Qiao wants to put Ruoyun in a dilemma between her parents’ family and her husband’s family!
Mother Li has been married for many years, and she is most aware of the suffering involved, especially when her parents' family is in ruins and her life in her husband's family is not easy. She has suffered enough, so how can she be willing to let her daughter follow in her own footsteps?
"Go away, don't come here again!" The more Mother Li thought about it, the angrier she became: "If you shamelessly come here to make trouble again, I will ask you to impeach me. You asked Mrs. Yang to buy that woman to harm Mrs. Hou.
, it is still on hold now, if it is brought up again..."
The Luo family and his wife will definitely be implicated.
Mrs. Qiao's eyes widened: "I am your sister-in-law, and you and your husband are brothers and sisters."
Mother Li sighed secretly, if it weren't for this relationship, the Luo family's affairs would have been tried long ago.
She waved her hand: "You have indeed done these things, and no one has wronged you. The emperor will remember it sooner or later. You... you should find a way to settle the child."
Mrs. Qiao: "..." My son has been at the border these years, devoted to the army. Marrying a wife is just a show-off. How can he have children?
To put it into perspective, there are indeed several half-year-old children in the family, all of whom are the husband's bastards... Her son is about to be separated, so how can she care about other people's children?
Mr. Qiao's mood was declining, but Mr. Luo had to take care of it. In addition to being Luo Xing's father, he also had other children.
After running around, he found that no one was willing to help, and he understood a lot of things. The Luo family was finished.
Before it was over, he wanted to find a way out for his child, so he went to the emperor and took the initiative to plead guilty.
The emperor was particularly annoyed with the Luo family. In his opinion, all his sons were good. If he hadn't been instigated by these ministers, he might not have had the idea of fighting for the heir apparent. Later, he seized the Luo family and sent the couple to bitter cold.
The other people in the Luo Mansion were ordered to return to their place of origin and were prohibited from entering the capital for life, and were not allowed to take the imperial examination for three generations.
Li Ruoyun has been very low-key recently, almost never leaving the house. She also knows that when she goes out, others will talk about her, but it is really uncomfortable to stay in the house every day.
On this day, she couldn't bear it anymore and ran away secretly.
She put on the maid's clothes and went out to shop for a long time on the pretext of helping her "master" to buy things. The maid next to her was always worried and tried to persuade her to go back to the house whenever she could. Seeing that it was getting late, the maid was getting anxious.
cried.
Li Ruoyun also knew the seriousness of the matter. Even under the emperor's feet, there would inevitably be people sneaking around. She was afraid of something happening, but she was not willing to go out and go back just like that. Yu Gong caught a glimpse of a newly opened medical clinic in front, and her eyes suddenly lit up:
"Mom often has headaches these days, I'm going to buy some pills."
Recently, there has been a lot of buzz in the capital about the pills made by Madam Marquis Dingguo. They all said that the medicine was very effective and the price was cheap. She bought the medicine and told her mother after she returned home.
The maid grabbed her sleeve and said, "I'll come back after buying it."
Li Ruoyun nodded: "I know it well!"
The master and the servant dragged themselves into the hospital. Chu Yunli only raised his eyes and saw the two of them. Others might not recognize that it was Li Ruoyun... After all, no one would believe that our daughter would dress up like a maid.
, but Chu Yunli could recognize the daughter who rushed out and made sarcastic remarks to her after she arrived at the side courtyard.
"Miss Li, rare visitor!" Chu Yunli asked with a smile, "Is anyone in your family sick?"
Li Ruoyun followed the sound and saw that it was ice and snow, and her expression suddenly became stiff. She knew that these pills were made of ice and snow, but how could she have imagined that Mrs. Ding Guohou would appear here?
There are more than one medical clinic opened in Dingguohou's Mansion, which is really unlucky.
There were many Miss Li in the capital. She was afraid that Bingxue would reveal her identity, so she hurriedly stepped forward: "My mother has a headache."
Chu Yunli nodded and took a medicine bottle: "Take this."
Li Ruoyun breathed a sigh of relief, thinking about buying the medicine and leaving, so she stretched out her hand to take it. As soon as her fingers touched the medicine bottle, she felt that her hand was empty. She raised her head in shock and met the eyes of the woman in front of her who was smiling but not smiling.
Chu Yunli smiled and said: "I remember that Miss Li looked down upon me and my medical skills. In this case, Mrs. Li is seriously ill, so you should hire someone else to avoid being delayed by me."
Li Ruoyun: "...If you don't sell it, forget it."
She turned and left.
When Bingxue lived in the Qin Mansion, Li Ruoyun would tease her every time she came to the house.
For a girl like Bingxue who came from a small place and didn't know anyone else in the capital, every time she heard Li Ruoyun's words, she felt like thousands of needles were pricking her heart. However, she was worried about Qin Xiaoyu and didn't dare to quarrel with others. Or rather, she was worried about Qin Xiaoyu.
, and she won’t make any noise.
Li Ruoyun often mentioned the disparity in status in front of her, saying that he was a good match. After hearing this, Bingxue felt even more inferior... Anyway, every time they met, Bingxue would be depressed for a long time.
Although she didn't bully anyone physically, the hurt caused by words cannot be ignored. Seeing her leaving, Chu Yunli smiled and said, "Master Xiao Qin is very ill. Have you visited me recently?"
Li Ruoyun paused slightly and looked nervously at the people around her. She pretended not to hear this and walked away.
Chu Yunli's voice became louder: "You were so angry at that time because you said that I, a country girl, was not worthy of Mr. Xiao Qin. I thought you had deep feelings for him, but it turns out..."
As Li Ruoyun walked toward the door, the voices behind her became louder and louder. If she continued talking, everyone would know her identity.
Li Ruoyun couldn't bear it anymore, turned around and rushed back, saying in a low voice: "You have to be merciful and merciful. Madam Hou, you are a noble person now, do you have to hold on to the past things?"
Chu Yunli said amusingly: "At that time, I thought you were not interested in marrying Qin Xiaoyu. It turned out that it was all a lie."
"What do you know?" Li Ruoyun did have some unspeakable thoughts about her cousin, but she didn't want to marry him. In fact, after Qin Xiaoyu's accident, the family broke off the engagement immediately. Although she was annoyed that Qin Xiaoyu borrowed wine for Bingxue
It hurts me to do this, and I understand that it is not very kind of me to withdraw from the engagement.
Therefore, after the marriage was cancelled, she never dared to visit Qin Xiaoyu or face Qin Xiaoyu.
Listening to Bingxue mention these things at this moment, the guilt in her heart was aroused again: "A woman from an official family cannot marry as she pleases. When you came all the way to the capital for him, why didn't you just turn around and marry someone else? After he became ill,
You only came to our house twice, and when it comes to being ruthless, you are about the same."
Chu Yunli raised his eyebrows: "You actually inquired quite clearly."
Seeing that the people around him had looked away, Li Ruoyun lowered his voice and continued: "To put it into detail, he became like this, but it was all because of you. If you hadn't married someone else, he wouldn't have drowned his sorrows in drinking.
You have caused yourself to be like this..."
What is this all about?
Chu Yunli admitted that he could not bear such a big crime: "He was the one who asked me to leave in the first place, and he drank the wine himself, but no one forced him. It was his own choice that he ended up where he is now.
It’s totally unreasonable for you to come here to blame me!”
Li Ruoyun gritted his teeth: "Did I say something wrong?"
Chu Yunli sneered: "Shut up if you can't speak. Or... do you want to become mute forever?"
Hearing this, Li Ruoyun's expression changed and she subconsciously covered her mouth. There was a bit of panic in her eyes.
The doctor in front of me was very skilled and could even cure the weak diseases caused by Qin Mingyue's pregnancy. He said that he had never heard of her poisoning anyone. But the bugs she raised were not easy to deal with.
Li Ruoyun later realized that he had been arguing with her just now and said many unpleasant things in anger. She wanted to turn around and run away, but she was afraid that after so long, she would really make her resentful, so she took a long time to say it.
A forced smile: "Are you kidding?"
She became slightly more natural: "Doctor Bing, I'm timid, don't scare me. As for me, sometimes I don't have a clear mind. I don't even know what I said. Just now... If there is
Please bear with me if I offend you, and don't be as knowledgeable as me."
She took a step back and bowed deeply: "May your wife be safe and healthy in the future and have a smooth life."
After the people left, the nanny next to Chu Yunli appeared and said, "It's outrageous. How can the Li family raise a daughter when our rich daughter is dressed like this?"
This person was sent by the queen to take care of her, and his status in the palace was not low. Chu Yunli was funny: "After she broke off the engagement, everyone in the capital knew the character of the Li family... The Qin family has not been affected, but Qin Xiaoyu is ill.
, they turned around and regretted their marriage, who would dare to marry them in the future?"
With such in-laws, you can't count on anything if something happens, because the Li family can run faster than anyone else.
In fact, everyone misunderstood the Li family. The imperial censor of Zuodu, who was personally appointed by the emperor, still had a somewhat upright character. Otherwise, he would not be able to hold this position. Li Ruoyun withdrew from the engagement because of the love between the Li family and his wife.
The heart of a woman.
However, it is true that Qin Xiaoyu became paralyzed. Even if the Li family and his wife told people the truth, no one would believe it.
Qin Xiaoyu saw the ice and snow that were completely different from each other that day, and he became more and more decadent after that. He did not refuse to drink medicine, but his whole body became more and more wilted. On this day, he asked his entourage for a drink.
The attendant's expression changed greatly: "No! Madam has repeatedly warned me to put the wine away, so please don't embarrass me."
Qin Xiaoyu smiled bitterly: "Can't I even drink some wine? Then what's the point of living?"
Hearing that his master was determined to die, the entourage was so frightened that he managed to calm him down. He was still calm when he went out. But when he got outside, he rushed towards the main courtyard.
"Madam, sir, he...he doesn't want to live anymore..."
When Mrs. Qin heard this, her head buzzed and she lost her voice: "How could this be so?"
She sat slumped on the chair, her eyes falling on Qin Mingyue beside her, her eyes no longer filled with the kindness of the past, and asked: "Are you satisfied that your brother has been harmed like this?"
Qin Mingyue: "..."
"Mom, what did you say?"
Mrs. Qin collapsed at this moment. She did not dare to see her son. She only dared to get angry at her daughter, who had already improved: "You are the culprit! Why are you pretending to be innocent?"
