When Cao Ruzhen was born, her parents were already dead, so Mr. Cao decided to give her to Mrs. Cao to raise.
In the previous life, Xu Qinghuan met Cao Ruzhen twice. Once as a guest at Cao's house, Cao Ruzhen served her tea. The second time was to avenge her brother's injustice and saw Cao Ruzhen's unrecognizable body in Yizhuang.
After his brother was arrested, the Yamen keeper found the sachet that Cao Ruzhen usually wore close to his body. With solid evidence, even the eldest son of the Anyi Hou Mansion would be imprisoned.
Is the difference between the two lives due to her being reborn to intervene in this matter, or is there another hidden secret that she doesn't know about?
If everything had changed because of her prior arrangement, then my brother was really being targeted. If he didn't succeed once, would he do it again?
Li Xu had helped her a lot in this case, and she had a good impression of him. Li Xu also helped her deduce many cases. After the Fengxiang case, Li Xu rose to prominence. Many dignitaries wanted to take him for their own use, but he chose
He has walked the most difficult road. Li Jiulang must do what others cannot do, and he has won a lot of support wherever he goes.
That's why the Li family dared to occupy the northern border and send troops to the imperial court in the future.
It seems that the choice made by the court was due to the ignorance of the court, and he was forced to have no choice. Perhaps at this time, Li Xu was already ambitious and deliberately paving the way for his future career, wanting to become that dazzling hero who people look up to.
With her past life experience, she may be able to see everything more clearly if she looks on coldly.
If the deception and planning had happened early on, then Li Xu would not only be a strange name to her, but also an enemy with a blood feud.
Qing Huan smiled slightly.
She will no longer let others control her life.
"Huan'er," Mrs. An Yihou called worriedly, "Who are you laughing at?"
Qing Huan saw Master Xu's back: "Second uncle has gone out to receive guests. He must be someone from the government office. He has to negotiate for the Cao family. It's really hard work."
Mrs. An Yihou's eyes turned cold: "Is it possible that you suspect that the person who harmed your brother was the second master?"
Qing Huan nodded. In her previous life, Mr. Xu Er had already confessed in prison. The confession at that time was meaningless to her because her father was charged with a new crime, Mr. Xu Er was also implicated in jail, and the Xu family's
There are no winners in internal fighting.
Although the entire case has just been revealed, she has already discovered that everything is not as simple as she thought in her previous life.
Qing Huan just thought of this when the door was pushed open and Feng Chu walked in.
"Miss, please go to the backyard and take a look. The prince beat the uncle of the Zhou family into a pig's head." Speaking of the pig's head, Feng Chu couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
Mrs. An Yihou stood up with an angry look on her face: "I just sent away the administrator, and this bastard caused trouble again. He doesn't know how to pick anyone. Brother Yue's body... but something is going to happen."
"Don't be upset, mother," Qing Huan comforted Mrs. An Yihou. "There is no deep hatred. It must be a joke. My brother won't do anything dirty. I'll go take a look and let Uncle Zhou go."
Xu Qinghuan walked into the yard and asked Feng Chu: "What is going on? When did the fight start?"
Feng Chu said slowly: "It's been a while since the prince said that Zhou Yue had offended the eldest lady."
Xu Qinghuan was startled, how could his brother know this: "Where are these two people?"
Feng Chu said: "The prince has gone to change clothes. I have sent Uncle Zhou out of the house. If the young lady feels upset and Uncle Zhou is injured and cannot run fast, I will catch him back."
Xu Qinghuan looked at Feng Chu. Many people found it strange that this girl who knew no manners and was the best at saying stupid things became her mother's confidant. After her mother passed away, she was extremely sad. Feng Chu came to find her and said: "
Madam is speechless whenever she cries, so I have to go accompany Madam and help her speak."
Only then did she realize that Feng Chu had swallowed the gold.
She looked for someone to find the doctor. Feng Chu said, "Miss, please don't let them torment me. I won't survive. Just let me go comfortably."
Silly girl, how can one die comfortably?
Xu Qinghuan stretched out his hand and smoothed the rouge on Feng Chu's face: "Feng Chu, you have to live well."
Feng Chu trembled immediately, with a look of fear on her face: "Miss, don't kill me, I didn't do anything, I just sent Mr. Zhou Xiaolang out of the door and said good luck to him.
I wish him all the best from now on."
Xu Qinghuan nodded: "What then?"
Feng Chu licked her lips: "I threw him a jar of stinky pickles, but he was too stupid to catch it. The jar broke, and the pickles..."
Zhou Yue would probably never think of visiting her.
The master and the servant walked forward while talking, and saw a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old. She was wearing a lotus-colored long skirt and a pink silk ribbon tied around her waist. She was quite tall and had a slender neck.
Under her slender willow-leaf eyebrows are a pair of transparent eyes. Although she is not a stunning beauty, she is also extremely gentle and charming.
She lowered her head and stepped forward, saluting Qing Huan first: "I was about to take someone to apologize to Madam, and happened to see the eldest lady here."
She was respectful and humble, and she obviously acted cautiously at home, fearing that there might be any mistakes, but even so, she did not avoid a tragic ending in her previous life.
This is Cao Ruzhen, the orphan girl from the fourth room.
The Cao family made a mistake, so they left her around to bow their heads and admit their mistakes, which shows how high her status is in the Cao family. So after she died in the previous life, Mrs. Cao could unscrupulously exchange her death for sympathy.
No matter whether he was alive or dead, he did not get any respect from the Cao family. If Cao Ruzhen knew his fate, he would definitely resent everyone in the Cao family.
Cao Ruzhen bowed again: "This time our family's sudden visit not only caused trouble to the family, but also almost caused a big mistake. It is useless to say anything else after the mistake has been made. I just hope that the Cao family can have the opportunity to make up for it in the future."
Qing Huan stretched out her hand to lift Cao Ruzhen up: "It's not Sister Cao's fault, it's not something you can control."
Cao Ruzhen hurriedly explained: "No... no... the Cao family is one and the same... me too... me too." After speaking, her voice became lower and lower.
Apologizing is just a superficial courtesy, and it still feels shameful if it falls on a person with a sincere heart.
What the Cao family has done is so chilling.
Cao Ruzhen, who is as soft as a quail, obeys on the surface, but cannot control the emotions in her heart.
After ending the boring topic, Qing Huan and Cao Ruzhen sat down in the yard. The two of them rarely talked on weekdays, and it took a long time before they started talking.
Feng Chu considerately gave her a cup of warm tea, and Cao Ruzhen's expression improved: "Is it true that Sister Wan cannot be saved?"
Qing Huan said: "I want to hear the news from the government office," she said with a slight pause, "When is Sister Cao planning to go back?"
Cao Ruzhen lowered her head and said softly: "Auntie asked me to stay here and serve my wife well."
Keep Cao Ruzhen in order to save face in the future. The Cao family has always done this. Cao Ruzhen is also a very smart person. How could she not know: "It's all the elders in the family who are doing things inappropriately."
Cao Ruzhen stood up and was about to leave. Qing Huan's eyes fell on the sachet on Cao Ruzhen's waist. It was the same style and the same embroidery. Seeing it again felt like a lifetime ago.
Qing Huan said: "Sister, this sachet is so beautifully embroidered."
"I'm clumsy and I just made it randomly. If my sister likes it... I'll give it to you." Cao Ruzhen took off the sachet.
The sachet exudes a faint fragrance, just like its owner, who is pure and pure.
When the Cao family's master and servant walked away, Qing Huan looked not far away: "Come out!"
The grass blades swayed, and Xu Qingan, wearing a thick silver fox cloak, revealed his head.
Qing Huan raised her head to look at the hot sun and nodded to Xu Qing'an: "Brother, come here, I have something to tell you."
Xu Qingan sat down energetically.
Qing Huan placed the sachet in her hand on the table and raised her smiling face: "Does this sachet look familiar to my brother?"
