In the blink of an eye, it was March. March in the Northern Lands was warm and cold. The little girl who loved beauty had changed into a spring shirt early on. It was light yellow, light green, and cherry pink, light blue. Within a few days, Lan Hua Villa's business was booming. They were selling cold soup in packs. They were all young girls who had long been greedy for the pleasures of the world. All of them wrinkled their noses and sneezed. Her face was red and she looked pitiful. She was in a sorry state, but she also looked tender and lovable.
A handsome young man dressed in fresh clothes and riding a horse, holding a sword on the street. After chasing away the hooligans who collected protection fees, the beautiful girl gave him flowers.
This was yet another dream of hope.
"Miss has been listless these few days. She can't lift her spirits no matter what she does.”
"Isn't that so? I've never seen Miss like this. She's so absent-minded.”
"It's probably because Grand Tutor Su retired and returned to his hometown.”
"Grand Tutor Su is only over fifty this year. Why did he resign so early and return to his hometown? If any of the princes he had taught became the emperor, then he would be the emperor's teacher. Do you think he suffered a loss?"
"Shh. You can't spout nonsense."
"What are you afraid of? Don't you know our Miss? He had become a blockhead the moment he started reading. Haha…"
"Aiyo, stop talking."
Outside the window, the two little girls were chattering. Qing Huan was sitting quietly by the window, reading a book. Those two were probably the maids who cleaned the library. Qing Huan was calm and composed, ignoring him. He Zhi wanted to say something but hesitated. She wanted to teach the two girls a lesson, but the young lady did not say anything, so she could only stand quietly. However, He Man had a dry matchstick personality and would be ignited at the slightest touch. Her expression was very indignant. These two wretched girls dared to make up stories about Master.
Qing Huan raised her head and wanted to continue reading another book, but she saw the two girls looking uneasy and their eyes were red. He found it funny in his heart. These two girls were still lacking in self-restraint. What kind of situation was this? Qing Huan shook her head helplessly and raised her hand to stroke her forehead.
"You two wretched girls, hiding here and gossiping again. Lan Hu and Lan Jun, lock them up in the woodshed. They are not allowed to eat for two days.”Granny Xue's loud voice rang out. The two girls groaned in fear. They were obviously unable to resist and were tied up.
He Zhi and He Man looked relaxed and happy. He looked at the young miss, but she didn't look surprised at all. He couldn't help but admire her for knowing everything. Qing Huan looked at the servant girl's expression and knew what they were thinking. She didn't say it out loud, but she found it funny in her heart. Silly girl, every time she was studying in the library, Granny Xue would come to visit. The two girls had accused him of something, so it was obviously inappropriate for him to step in. Granny Xue was coming, and she would definitely teach them a lesson. There was no rule without rules. Qing Huan never thought that she could talk about human rights and equality with everyone in this society. When it was time to punish, even if it was to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys, they absolutely could not be lenient.
After a while, Granny Xue walked in.""Miss, Furen asked me to send lotus seed lily soup over.”Granny Xue looked at Qing Huan with a gentle and loving expression. There was no trace of her usual fierce appearance of teaching a servant a lesson.
"Why did the granny send it over herself again? Wouldn't it have been better if she had asked two servant girls to send it over?”Qing Huan stood up to welcome him. Although she was a servant, she had indeed taken care of him since he was young. Naturally, she was more intimate.
"I'm afraid that those girls are clumsy and can't do it well, so I also want to see Young Lady.”Granny Xue sat down on Qing Huan's hand, smiling.
"Heh. I miss granny too." Qing Huan smiled beside Granny Xue like a little girl. Granny Xue was overjoyed. Granny Xue had a warm scent of soap on her body, which was different from the fragrance on Gida's body. But it was more life, more homely, and more intimate.
"What books did Miss read today?”After thinking about it, she realized that she wouldn't know even if she said it, so she smiled embarrassedly." Miss, don't say it. Even if you say it, this old servant won't understand."”
"What did the granny call herself?" Her thin phoenix eyes were raised with a hint of questioning.
Granny Xue quickly smiled. Old, I'm already used to it. I'm just afraid that Miss is always reading and her eyes will be damaged.”
"Yes, I am. Granny, don't worry. I was just reading during the day. I'll rest if I'm late." Qing Huan was very obedient. She knew that this old woman really cared about her. He was usually very patient with her." How has Brother been these few days?”
Granny Xue loved to talk about how the Young Lady and Young Master were. He really put his heart and soul on the two little ones. Qing Huan started to speak, so that Granny Xue could speak without being reserved.
"Young Master is good. Young Master Black Eagle had also eaten in the manor yesterday. He praised the delicious food in the residence. After dinner, the two of them read together for a while.”Granny Xue's eyes were filled with love.
Black Eagle and his brother were getting better and better by the day. "Oh." Qing Huan laughed. Granny, have there been any letters for me recently?”
"Yo. But there was one. It had just arrived this morning. It was sent over by the servant of Sleeping Flower Restaurant.”Granny Xue took out a light purple letter from her lapel. There was a three-petaled cherry blossom painted on the corner.
Qing Huan reached out and took it calmly. In fact, she was a little curious. This Sleeping Flower Restaurant was a branch of the March of Fireworks Restaurant. It was mainly responsible for collecting, organizing, and distributing information. He used the excuse of a handkerchief friend to send the information to Qing Huan in the most aboveboard way. A few petals meant that the problem was a little tricky. Three petals, that was very rare.
Madam Liu was Li Mingyan's mother. That was a woman who still had a pure and gentle temperament despite being in the mud. Her sorrow and sadness were almost the misfortune of women in this era. It only came from her husband and children. He was the only one missing.
Qing Huan tapped her fingers on the table. It was almost dusk, and the clouds in the sky were burning. The light of the setting sun slowly slanted into the window, and the warm light scattered on the ground. Qing Huan had been sitting at the table for the whole afternoon. No matter how he tried to guess, he could not figure out who killed Liu-shi. That woman had always been weak and gentle. It was impossible for her to have offended anyone. Then, whose path was he blocking?
Madam Liu. A gentle and beautiful face appeared before Qing Huan's eyes, but her eyes were filled with worry and caution. Tears streamed down her face, splattering all over her clothes. Those who didn't know better would think that he would commit suicide…Wait a minute. I'll take my own life.
Yes, could it be that she was looking for her own death? Qing Huan gently stroked her forehead. She suddenly thought of her grandmother from her previous life. The only woman who had given her some warmth had passed away early. After waiting for a man for her entire life, she finally drank sleeping pills. He left peacefully. Su Qingning said that she had already received news about that man a long time ago. He had a wife, a son, a family, and a career. Grandma was just a pastime for the night. He waited in despair and finally chose to give up. Even he was included.
Qing Huan suddenly felt her heart filled with sadness. Mourn what you mourn, and hurt what you hurt.
Qing Huan walked to the desk, picked up her brush and wrote a line of delicate and pretty words on the plain white paper: "Quickly investigate the cause of death of Madam Liu, the wife of the Minister of Revenue. We can't rule out the possibility of suicide." She thought about it and continued writing." Investigate Madam Liu's life, no matter how big or small.”
"Miss, it's time for dinner. Do you want to eat at Shuiyun or go to Jing Hua Garden?”He Man walked in and asked softly. For some reason, the young miss was surrounded by a sorrowful atmosphere that did not dissipate. It was very different from Granny Xue's cheerful appearance before she came. She did not dare to speak loudly.
Qing Huan usually liked to eat alone, but today she wanted to enjoy the lively atmosphere."Let's go to Jing Hua Garden. Are father and brother back?"
"General went to the Clear Cloud Pavilion with a few lords today. This is to celebrate the promotion of Lord Zhang Pu. The young master had already returned and was packing up in Storm House.”
"Yes. Let's go over too." Qing Huan walked up." Right, send this letter to Sleeping Flower Restaurant."”
"Yes." He Man carefully put away the letter.
Under the same warm sunset, Minister Li's residence was filled with cries, adding a touch of cold blood in the chilly spring.
"Sister Situ. Do you think that Li Jiejian didn't treat Sister Liu well and that's why she took her own life? Don't pull me, I want to ask him who was the one who stood in the snow for three days and three nights begging the Public House to let Sister Liu marry him. " At that time, he was still a poor kid. Who washed his clothes in the cold water and brought him food in the hot weather…" She sobbed, and later, she could no longer make a sound.
Consort Li fell into the arms of Consort Zhan and Consort Situ. Her tears kept flowing down. Lady Situ was also crying non-stop. She gritted her teeth and almost bled. His eyes were like a thousand-year-old cold pond, emitting cold air and mist. She did not make a sound as her tears flowed down. They had been sisters for almost half of their lives, but their own sisters still fought for favor and power. Only the two younger sisters of the Liu and Li families treated each other sincerely.
Hate. Why did Hentian ask Sister Liu to get to know Li Jiejian? He was a cold-hearted wolf. You can't even feed him with your heart. She hated Li Mingyan. At such a young age, she had learned from the girls on the street to beg for a marriage that did not belong to her. She did not care about her mother and instead fawned over her father who had never doted on her. He hated himself. Why didn't he see through Li Jiejian's true colors back then? He even added makeup and dowry to marry his sister off.
The monstrous hatred burned the coldness in his eyes.
"Sister Situ. Sister, what's wrong?" Consort Li raised her head to look at Consort Zhan, her face filled with fear.
"Sister Li, don't worry. Li Jiejian will get his retribution." Consort Zhan gritted her teeth and enunciated each word. Hatred surged into the ocean, chilling the heavens. Consort Li was stunned. She suddenly remembered how powerful and dazzling Situ Jialin was twenty years ago.
They were in the auxiliary hall of the main hall, listening to the cries outside. How many of them were truly sad tears?
Sister Liu. Take care. I'll remember your worries for you.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:111420183: 49PM #Cancel Review All: wdd201302 Time:111420185:56PM
