Xu Qinghuan remained silent, and Xu Qingan became more and more nervous: "Sister, this place is far away from the capital, and the surrounding area is very desolate. Let's go back!"
Despite Xu Qing'an's persuasion, he was ready to stay. As long as his sister started investigating the case, she would never stop until the inside story was revealed.
He understood this feeling, it was like getting into trouble halfway, he would not be able to eat and sleep at night, but after all, he had to get it done because he was thinking about it.
In this regard, his sister lets him do it, and Xu Qing'an can't help but feel proud when he thinks about it. His sister has all the advantages, so by inference, doesn't he also have advantages?
With this thought in my mind, my buttocks that had been taught by my father's stick didn't seem to hurt that much anymore.
"Brother is right," Xu Qinghuan said, "It's getting late, it's a good time for us to return to the city."
Xu Qingan was stunned when he heard this.
After Xu Qinghuan finished speaking, he looked at the steward of the eldest princess's residence: "Thank you for your hard work."
The steward was looking at the big pits in a daze when he suddenly heard Miss Xu say this. It took him a while to come back to his senses: "You are not looking for it anymore?"
"I'm not looking for you anymore," Xu Qinghuan said, "You can go back and report to the eldest princess. I will definitely go and thank the eldest princess another day."
In this case, the manager was relieved of his duties. He bowed his head and left with the others.
Xu Qinghuan walked forward without further delay, and Xu Qingan followed: "Sister, are you telling the truth?"
Xu Qinghuan said naturally: "Didn't my brother say it's time to go back?"
It was him who said it, but he still couldn't believe it. Xu Qing'an said: "Then what should we do about this case?"
"We won't investigate anymore," Xu Qinghuan said easily. "So many people are not investigating the case, so why do we have to find out clearly."
No more checking.
Xu Qingan was completely stunned.
"Yes," Xu Qinghuan said, "It's not good for me as a woman to run around outside all day long, and the same goes for my brother. My father just punished you and you have forgotten it. Why don't we stay at home and reflect on it these days?
for past mistakes.”
Sister, is this a joke? Xu Qingan looked at Feng Chu, but Feng Chu ignored him.
"Brother," Xu Qinghuan turned around and asked as he boarded the car, "do you want to take the car? You are injured and it is always uncomfortable to ride all the way here. You have to go to the ancestral hall tonight, so you have to save some energy."
"Of course not." Xu Qing'an subconsciously refused. How could he become so weak in front of his sister? Wouldn't that ruin his impression in her sister's mind.
It wasn't until the carriage slowly left that Xu Qing'an truly believed that his sister was not joking.
Xu Qing'an jumped onto his horse smoothly, but as soon as he sat down, he couldn't help grinning. He suddenly regretted that he shouldn't have been so strong just now. It is the last word that a gentleman can bend and stretch.
Meng Lingyun smiled like a monkey on the side.
Xu Qingan looked over, and Meng Lingyun immediately put away his smile and pretended that nothing had happened. He just swallowed a mouthful of air and hiccupped for no reason.
"You said... you really don't plan to investigate the case?"
"Hiccup... I think... Miss Hiccup... is right... the prince... Hiccup...'s body needs a good rest. Isn't this... Hiccup... very good?"
Is it really good?
Xu Qingan couldn't figure it out either.
"If the prince feels uncomfortable... hiccup... you can go have a drink and arrange a banquet."
Xu Qing'an thought about that kind of life, and suddenly felt that it was boring. It was just pushing cards and listening to music. There was no excitement like digging graves and killing people every day.
If my sister really doesn't care about anything in the future, wouldn't he also have to be put on hold, just like the piece of bacon hanging in the big kitchen?
It is full of waiting for it to dry, and slowly wilts.
When Xu Qing'an thought of this, the horse beneath him suddenly jumped forward, and Xu Qing'an's butt fell heavily on the saddle.
"Ouch." Xu Qingan couldn't help shouting. He must have been bleeding.
…
The carriage returned to Anyihou Mansion, and Yingui was already waiting at the door.
"Miss," Yin Gui stepped forward and said, "Fifth Master, my wife and young lady are here. Madam is sitting in her room now."
Xu Qinghuan immediately said: "You go and report it, I will change my clothes and go over."
Yin Gui nodded.
Before Xu Qinghuan had changed her clothes, Yingui had already led Xu Qingyue into the house.
"Grandma asked us sisters to talk together and not let my sister pass by," Xu Qingyue said, stepping forward to help Qing Huan arrange the jade pendant around her waist. "I heard my father say something, and I'm afraid it has something to do with the fourth uncle." An Yihou
As he is the fourth in the clan, Xu Qingyue calls his uncle according to his rank in the clan.
Xu Qinghuan nodded. Since the Zhang family had decided to take action, they would not give them a chance to breathe.
"What should I do?" Xu Qingyue asked, "Will something big happen?"
Xu Qinghuan took Xu Qingyue's hand: "Let's go to the grandmother's room. I have something to say to my father."
Xu Qingyue was startled. Although she didn't know what Xu Qinghuan was going to say, she couldn't help but follow Xu Qinghuan quickly out of the house.
…
Mrs. Xu looked at her two sons, and what happened that night more than ten years ago was still vivid in her mind.
At that time, she was holding Qing Huan and being pressed down by several palace people. Qing Huan started to cry non-stop. Later, she even lost the strength to cry. She was so distressed that she begged the palace people to give Qing Huan some soup.
This person was like a clay sculpture, no matter what she said, he just stood there blankly, without any expression.
The little child had to suffer like this not long after he was born. Her heart was tightly clenched. Things in the world are so cruel. No matter how prosperous you were in the past, once disaster strikes, everything will turn into nothing.
Being implicated in a rebellion case will lead to death.
They seemed to have escaped more than ten years ago, but in fact they were still struggling in the vortex.
Neither An Yihou nor Xu Changting spoke, quietly waiting for Mrs. Xu to speak.
Mrs. Xu said: "I heard that this case was related to Nie Rong and I was prepared." She sighed, "How could the Zhang family just sit back and wait for death? Their biggest support is the rebellion case. What should you do? Keep going.
Do you want to continue fighting with the Zhang family?"
Mrs. Xu looked at An Yihou. Actually, there was no need to ask. She already knew in her heart that she had finally caught the Zhang family. Even if he lost, he would not back down.
"Fourth brother," Xu Changting raised his head, "You are familiar with several censors from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and I also know a few people. Let's go find them separately. Since the Zhang family is taking action, we can't just wait and fight.
You may not lose to the Zhang family.
It's hard for others to tell. When Su Huai was imprisoned, his fourth brother also helped everywhere and even begged King Jian. Now Su Huai's Qingliu can't just ignore death. Although most of the Qingliu's official positions are not high, don't underestimate them. I
The son of Li Changyan, whom I met before, is now working in the Ministry of Punishments. He is a very smart person, and even if we call him, he can give us some advice... In short, we will make use of any connections that can be used."
"You two ladies, please allow me to go in and report." The voice of the mother in charge came from the door.
Xu Qinghuan and Xu Qingyue nodded and stood at the door waiting.
"Mother, let Qing Huan and Qing Yue come in!" Marquis An Yi looked at Mrs. Xu, "Qing Huan must be anxious after hearing the news."
Mrs. Xu did not object, and Xu Qinghuan and Xu Qingyue walked in.
Xu Qinghuan stepped forward and saluted, and then said: "Grandma, are your father and fifth uncle talking about the Zhang family?" She looked at An Yihou, "Father, let's leave this case alone, why bother to confront the Zhang family head-on."
