Su Xinyi took Zhan Qiao and Cao Qing back to the house, and went directly to the backyard to change and wash up. All her clothes were soaked. Although it was early summer, it was still a little cold. new

Zhan Qiao and Cao Qing lived in a house in the front yard. This was a place specially prepared for them by the old man so that they could follow the Sixth Girl out.

Just after washing up, the two of them were preparing to go to bed when they were invited by the boy next to the old lady.

The two of them entered Songhe Hall and saw the old lady sitting on the top chair. They hurriedly stepped forward to greet him and said, "I have met the old lady."

The old man opened his eyes and looked at the two of them, "You're back home so soon? Didn't I ask you to follow Miss Six and keep an eye on the salt merchant's private treasury?"

Cao Qing and Zhan Qiao looked at each other, and he immediately said: "As for the old man, we arrested a group of people who were going to deliver goods tonight."

The old man's eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light, "Caught it?"

"Yes." Cao Qing didn't dare to hide anything, so he went over what happened tonight in detail.

The old man's expression became serious as he listened. He knew how to read the sky and make use of the terrain. Hearing what Cao Qing said, Xin Yi's moves touched a person's vital points and were all killing moves.

Now the old man is suspicious of Xin Yi's biological mother. This is not a child that an ordinary country peasant woman can raise. This is someone who is teaching this child carefully.

The old man knew that Xin Yi knew some kung fu, and he also knew that she was a bit fierce, but outsiders watching the fun only knew that Xin Yi was good at beating people, but those from the Su family army could see the weight of these kung fu.

"My subordinates have carefully examined it and found out that the sixth girl's injuries are all at the critical point. She can make the enemy lose their combat effectiveness without losing their lives. Only veterans can do this." Cao Qing said in a deep voice, "And My subordinate observes that Miss Six does not seem to know how powerful her skills are. Old Master, I think we should send someone to find out who taught Miss Six kung fu back then."

Although Zhan Qiao was taciturn, he also said something at this time, "My subordinates also think that Miss Six's approach is a bit like that of our Su family army, but not entirely, which is very strange."

The old man nodded slightly, "You guys go down and have a rest. You have worked hard tonight."

The two of them hurriedly said they didn't dare, and then bowed and left.

The old man did not move, still sitting on the high chair, looking down in thought.

Chen Hai walked in lightly, looked at the old man and said, "It's time for you to rest. Staying up so late at night is very harmful to your health. If you have anything to do, it's not too late to think about it tomorrow."

Chen Hai has been with the old man his entire life, and he could not be more loyal than him.

The old man looked at Chen Hai, "How can there be so many coincidences in this world? Who do you think Xin Yi's biological mother is? When the fourth child came back, do you still remember that he mentioned her?"

Chen Hai thought about it seriously, then looked at the old man and said: "The fourth master was rescued by the sixth girl's biological mother. When he came back, he only said that he wanted to take him into the house to express his gratitude for saving his life, but he was rescued by the sixth girl's biological mother. I declined and didn’t say much else.”

When the old man heard what Chen Hai said, he knew that he had remembered it correctly, "The fourth child didn't even know that there was such a child. Xin Yi's biological mother would rather bring up the child herself. It is obvious that she would not let anyone know who her biological father was, so as not to If the Duke's Mansion snatches the child from her, then the child's abilities and origins are a bit suspicious, check it out carefully, but don't alert anyone, go quietly."

Chen Hai nodded, "Yes, my subordinates have remembered it."

The old man stared at the dark night sky outside and said as if talking to himself: "This kid Xin Yi is lucky. The people of His Highness the Prince, the salt merchant's private treasury, have been guarding for so long but they haven't caught anyone. Xin Yi will be gone as soon as he leaves tonight." It rained, and the salt merchants thought that the heavy rain would cover their tracks, so they took advantage of the rain and unexpectedly ran into Xin Yi, who had made a bet with King Rong..."

Chen Hai's heart skipped a beat when he heard these words, "What the old man said is that the sixth girl's luck is indeed good."

The old man didn't know what he was thinking, his eyes were wandering, and he finally sighed, "The right time, the right place, and the right people... As long as this person lives in the same place, his life will be easy."

Chen Hai didn't dare to talk and stood aside quietly listening. He knew that the old man didn't need him to answer.

"Back then, the Fourth Brother had the right location and people, but he was a bit unlucky in terms of weather and timing..." The old man murmured softly, his voice almost silent.

Those who march and fight must make sacrifices to heaven and earth before going out, in order to borrow some of the righteousness of heaven and earth to strengthen our military morale.

The mysterious luck... This is the most unpredictable thing.

The right place and the right people can all be planned by people's minds, but only the right time and timing cannot be planned.

****

Su Xinyi slept deeply, but when she woke up in the morning, she felt her head was buzzing and her nose was a little stuffy. Maybe it was because of the heavy rain last night.

Fortunately, she has always been strong, so she didn't take this minor illness to heart. But as soon as Forsythia came in to help the girl get up, and after hearing the girl's voice, she hurriedly asked someone to report it to the lady.

The Fourth Madam came very quickly, looked at Su Xinyi and said hurriedly: "Don't get up, lie down quickly, I'll send someone to ask for the doctor."

"Mom, I'm fine. Just drink a bowl of ginger soup and I'll be fine. I'm just a little bit cold." Su Xinyi was a little embarrassed, but this was really not a serious illness.

"This won't work." The fourth lady pushed the person back, put her hand on her daughter's forehead for a try, and then retracted her hand with confidence, "Don't be careless about a minor illness."

Aunt She came in, holding a bowl of soup in her hand, and said with a smile: "This is the soup that the old slave asked the kitchen to make to dispel the cold. It was often drunk in the palace. The girl will drink a bowl of it first to dispel the cold." .”

The fourth lady took the bowl and when Su Xinyi saw it, she sat down and leaned against the soft pillow to get the soup bowl, "Mother, I will do it myself."

The fourth lady handed her the bowl and watched her drink the whole bowl of soup. Then she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You are still young and don't understand some things. Girls' bodies are very delicate and should be taken good care of." , but don’t catch the cold, otherwise you will suffer in the future.”

The fourth lady looked miserable when she talked about this. She herself had a cold body which made it difficult for her to conceive.

When Su Xinyi saw her mother like this, she immediately said, "Don't worry, I will protect myself well and won't worry my mother."

The fourth lady smiled lightly and said, "Just be obedient. Are you feeling uncomfortable now?"

"No, it's just that my nose is a little stuffy." Su Xinyi said.

While talking, the doctor arrived. Forsythia hurriedly lowered the bed curtain, put the girl's hand outside the bed tent, put a handkerchief on her wrist, and then asked the doctor to sit down.

The fourth lady was watching from the side, listening to the doctor saying that it was nothing serious but the expression on her face softened due to the cold.

The doctor prescribed the medicine, gave instructions on how to prepare it, collected the consultation fee, and left.

Delphinium went to grab the medicine and boil it, while Forsythia hurriedly tidied up the house. Grandma She said to the fourth lady at the side: "Madam, don't worry. If you drink the doctor's medicine, the girl's illness will be mild and she will recover soon."

The fourth lady nodded, "I'd like to trouble you to take care of you." Then she looked at Xin Yi and said, "You can have a rest. I'll go tell your grandmother that you don't want to go over to pay her respects today."

Su Xinyi agreed. After all, the wife was old and it would be difficult for her to get through her illness.

As soon as the fourth lady left, Forsythia had already brought the breakfast and placed it directly on the small table beside the bed, "Girl, let's make a living here."

Su Xinyi:......

She was just a little bit cold.

After breakfast and taking medicine, Su Xinyi felt drowsy, so Grandma She asked her to lie down and sleep. She should be more energetic when she wakes up.

When Su Xinyi got sick in the countryside, she would drink a bowl of medicine and fall asleep. She felt much refreshed after sweating, and most of the illness was gone, so she covered herself with a brocade quilt and fell asleep.

When Mrs. Zeng heard that Su Xinyi was ill, she came to visit with several sisters-in-law at home. Knowing that she had taken medicine and fell asleep, she left without disturbing her.

At this time, Pang Lan in the East Palace had already reported the details of the situation in the private treasury to His Highness the Crown Prince, and all the captured people were put in jail waiting for interrogation.

Yan Junchu didn't speak for a while after listening to Pang Lan's words. Counting this time, this was the second time Su Xinyi rescued King Rong.

"Your Highness?" Pang Lan saw that His Highness was in a daze and reminded him, "Do you want to go for interrogation now?"

"Is all the stolen salt intercepted in the carriage a secret?" Yan Junchu asked after regaining consciousness.

Pang Lan thought for a while and said, "It's hard to say whether it is a private salt. I haven't seen Yan Yin yet. If there is no Yan Yin, it must be a private salt. If there is a Yan Yin, we can only continue to investigate this matter."

If there is salt, then this batch of intercepted salt belongs to the owner, so it should be handled with caution.

"Did Duke Qin give an explanation?" Yan Junchu asked with a more serious look on his face.

"Not yet. The Duke of Qin has now insisted that he has no interaction with Ma Rude in private, and his subordinates are still investigating the evidence. There is currently no evidence to prove that the Duke of Qin has a relationship with Ma Rude. There is only some interaction between the Duke of Qin and Ma Rude's daughter, who entered the house as a concubine. Because this matter involves the back house, Mrs. Qin Guogong insisted that this matter was all her fault, so we have to investigate again." Pang Lan had a headache. The more troublesome the matter was, the more people were involved, and the more cautious they had to be. .

"Catch Ma Rude as soon as possible. The only way is to arrest him and confront him." After saying this, Yan Junchu looked at Pang Lan and asked, "How is the trial going with An Jingqi?"

"An Jingqi is only willing to admit the alchemy test now, while Yan Yinchen denies it. My subordinates are starting from Wuwei Taoist, the master of Wuji Taoist Temple, to see if they can get any clues." Pang Lan said.

Yan Junchu nodded, "Send a message to Princess Dongli and tell her about An Jingqi's arrest."

Pang Lan's eyes lit up, "Yes, as long as Concubine An knows that her brother has been arrested, she may take action in a hurry, and her subordinates will definitely keep a close eye on her."

Yan Junchu nodded, "Go."

Pang Lan walked away excitedly, as if the wind was stepping on his feet.

The news of arrests in the south of the city was not small, and it was faintly spread the next day. Especially the people in the south of the city were talking about it. Although it was washed away by the heavy rain, swords could still be seen in the alleys the next day, leaving marks on the walls. Mark of.

The house that everyone had always hated before was surrounded by officers and soldiers. No one dared to go around and could only talk about it from a distance.

Tian Zao and Bao Datong shuttled among the crowd, and it took them a long time to leave quietly.

Bao Datong followed Tian Zao, each carrying a small baggage, as they walked from Nancheng to the Imperial City.

"Tian Zao, do you think we are really going to the Duke of Qi's Mansion?" Bao Datong was a little timid. Where is the Duke of Qi's Mansion? Can people like them go there?

Tian Zao hurried on with his head down, and after listening to Bao Datong's words, he replied, "We won't have free meals in the Duke's Mansion, and we will leave after staying for a year and a half. What are you afraid of?"

"Are you not afraid?" Bao Datong's voice was mournful. He had suffered a lot in the early years, so he hesitated to move forward with unknown things.

"What's the use of being afraid? You don't want to take revenge? It was a deal between Master Zeng and Miss Su Liu that we went to the Duke's Mansion. Miss Su Liu didn't take us in for nothing." Tian Zao pursed his lips, "Sooner or later we all have to Let’s go, go to the Duke’s Mansion and just be obedient, don’t cause trouble, don’t be afraid.”

Listening to what Tian Zao said, Bao Datong felt the same and slowly relaxed.

"Aren't you going to the Duke's Mansion? Is this the wrong way?" Bao Datong hurriedly grabbed Tian Zao, "Where are you going?"

Tian Zao stopped and looked at him, "You are not allowed to hand over your name certificate when entering the mansion?"

"Do you have to pay this?" Bao Datong was shocked, "Didn't you say that Master Zeng made a deal with Miss Six?"

"That's Master Zeng's ability, not ours. We have to let Miss Su Liu see our ability. In the future, we will go to the health center, and we will go to the Northern Health Center. If you don't have the ability, you can't go." Tian Zao pressed hard. Putting down his burden, he said, "Master Zeng told Miss Six about the private treasury in the south of the city, but what Master Zeng didn't tell was the details of the person guarding the treasury. He was keeping it for us to make meritorious deeds."

Bao Datong was a little confused and didn't understand.

As soon as Tian Zao saw it, he said directly: "Don't think about it, just follow me."

"That's okay." Bao Datong agreed immediately. It was really killing him to think about this.

Tian Zao and Bao Datong disappeared behind a gate of Shangsanfang. At this time, the sky was gradually getting dark.

Su Yi walked back home through the night, feeling anxious all the way. After entering the house, he went back to his yard first. When he saw his wife coming to greet him, he asked, "Is Sixth Sister okay when she comes back?"

He only found out about the bet between Xin Yi and King Rong today, and he rushed back after going to the Yamen.

Mrs. Zeng followed her husband through the door and said as she walked: "I was caught in the rain last night and I feel a little uncomfortable today. Is your husband looking for Sixth Sister to have something to do?"

Su Yi gave it up after hearing this, "Let her take care of her first, the matter is not urgent for the time being."

Upon hearing this, Ms. Zeng said, "Then I'll tell Sixth Sister tomorrow?"

"No need." Su Yi breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Mrs. Zeng and asked, "How are you doing, eldest sister?"

"It's good. With my eldest sister at home, it's much easier for me to help my mother take care of the housework." Mrs. Zeng said with a smile. In the past, her mother-in-law always disliked her and would inevitably embarrass her. Now that my eldest aunt is back, Her mother-in-law didn't have much thought to embarrass her.

Moreover, with her eldest aunt speaking for her, she always felt that her mother-in-law was kinder to her than before.

Su Yi nodded when he heard this, "My eldest sister has always had a good temper. You and she can get along."

Mrs. Zeng agreed very much with this, and then talked about the affairs of Su Baiwei and her daughter in the house, especially since Sister Jun was at the right time to please others, and the two couples were enjoying themselves and chatting behind closed doors at night.

On the other hand, Su Xinyi slept all day and took medicine for the rest of the night. When she woke up the next day, she felt alive and well. She had no idea that King Rong was called into the palace by the queen and scolded him.

As soon as Su Xinyi recovered from her illness, she went to pay her respects to Mrs. Tai. Mrs. Tai asked a few concerned questions and felt relieved knowing that she was fine.

Su Jingmo and others were curious about what she was doing when she went out at night, so they took her aside to talk quietly.

The madam looked at the eldest lady and said: "Prince Dongli's palace sent an invitation to congratulate Princess Dongli on her recovery from a serious illness. You can just go and visit then."

The eldest lady remembered that Prince Dongli had some grievances with the fourth siblings and Xin Yi, so she turned to look at the fourth lady, "Fourth siblings, what do you think?"

The fourth lady then said: "Sister-in-law, just go and do it."

The grievances between the Fourth Fang and the Dongli Palace cannot be dragged into the Dafang.

The eldest lady nodded, looked at the eldest lady and said, "Mom, then I'll just go through the motions and come back with an excuse."

"It's up to you." Madam Tai doesn't want to get involved in these things now, "However, there are a lot of things going on in Prince Dongli's palace recently, so you should stay away after you go."

There has been a lot of limelight in their house recently, and it is inevitable that some people will be jealous and stir up trouble.

On the other side, Su Xinyi also heard these words and wondered in her mind that Princess Dongli's illness was cured. Could it be that the investigation into Prince Dongli's palace was almost done?

If this is the case, I don't know what will happen to Concubine An.

This case has not yet been announced to the public, and it is impossible for Su Xinyi to tell her eldest aunt that Concubine An was one of the culprits who killed her eldest sister He Li, so she can only wait a little longer.

The family had lunch at Mrs. Tai's place and then left. Su Xinyi returned to her yard. Before she could take a long break, she was called by the people around the fourth wife.

"Girl, get up quickly, someone is coming from the palace."

Su Xinyi was stunned for a moment, "In the palace?"

"Yes, it's the lady in charge of the Queen. Madam asked you to go to the Madam's house as soon as possible." Forsythia said quickly.

Su Xinyi could only change her clothes and go back to the Hall of Honor. When she arrived, she saw the Madam talking to a round-faced woman wearing a light brown palace dress. When she entered, she gave the Madam first Greetings.

The wife then said with a smile: "Mother An, this is my sixth granddaughter. The child just came back not long ago, and I thought I would show it to the empress after a while."

The woman known as Aunt An stood up, smiled particularly kindly at Su Xinyi, and said, "I have seen Miss Six."

Su Xinyi was no stranger to Nanny An, but now she glanced at her with a suitably curious expression, "Nanny An."

Aunt An secretly looked at this Miss Su Liu, who had become famous recently. She was wearing a purple double-breasted coat and skirt, and her skin was like cream. This was a bit surprising. This Miss Six really didn't look like a country girl. So rough.

Moreover, his eyes were clear and black, and his eyes were bright and clear. He stood upright with a heroic spirit. No wonder he was able to save His Highness Prince Rong twice.

The smile on Aunt An's face deepened when she thought of this, "Last time at the hunting ground, Miss Six had helped His Royal Highness Prince Rong. The queen has long wanted to meet the girl, but she was not feeling well some time ago. I didn't expect this time." The girl saved His Highness Prince Rong again. The empress has not recovered from her old illness and it is difficult to announce the girl to the palace, so she can only ask the old slave to come and see the girl."

As she spoke, Grandma An asked people to carry up the two large boxes she had prepared. The sound of the boxes falling to the ground was heavy and powerful, indicating that the contents in the boxes were definitely heavy.

"This is a reward from the Queen to the Sixth Girl." Nanny An said with a smile.

Su Xinyi had a smile on her face, but she actually sneered in her heart. The queen was afraid that she was trying to catch Prince Rong, so she rewarded her with so many things to warn herself to know what to measure.

This person has always been unwilling to go straight when doing things, and always has to take twists and turns to relax his mind.

Su Xinyi bowed her head in gratitude in the direction of the palace, then stood up and stood aside with a smile without saying a word.

Aunt An was amazed when she saw this. If she didn't know the words and deeds of this sixth girl, she would have thought she was a lady.

The Tai Fu is an old lady, how can she not see the meaning behind the Queen's reward? It is not just a reward, but also a blow to the Duke of Qi's palace.

The fourth lady's face didn't look very good, the second lady had a good temper and was slightly unhappy at this time, and only the third lady's eyes turned on the two boxes.

The eldest lady held her breath in her heart, but she could not be disrespectful to the queen, and she had to receive her with a smile.

After sending the person away, the eldest lady looked at the queen and said, "Mother, what the queen does is really chilling."

The madam glanced at the eldest madam, looked at Su Jingmo and others and said, "You guys should go back too, Xin Yi stays."

Su Jingmo and others left obediently, and before leaving, they secretly winked at Su Xinyi, which meant that they would tell them later.

Su Xinyi:......

After the children left, the wife looked at everyone and said, "Open the box."

Mother Yu, Yao Huang and the other girls next to Mrs. Tai hurried forward to open the two big boxes. Everyone felt that their eyes were shining brightly. A box is filled with all kinds of glittering jewelry. If you look closely, you can see that hairpins, rings, hairpins, bracelets, rings, earrings, and necklaces are really all available, and they all come in sets.

The other box contains all kinds of satin newly received in the palace this year. They are all the best cloth, and they are as beautiful as the flowing light.

They are all for girls. I would say they are expensive. They are expensive, but they are not too expensive. They are all rare and rare things. Here is a piece of jewelry, all of which are stamped with the seal of the palace. It looks very long-faced when worn.

Not everyone can get the Queen's reward.

Precisely because these things are valuable, it further illustrates the queen's attitude that the life-saving grace was settled with money.

Su Xinyi had dealt with the queen many times, and he knew her character very well. At this time, she smiled and said, "Grandma, let me divide all these things."

Su Xinyi's indifferent attitude made the wife very satisfied, and she said: "Then let's divide it. It's just some personal belongings, so it doesn't count."

Su Xinyi laughed. The madam was so angry. These words were really not polite at all.

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard the Madam looked at the Eldest Madam and said, "Since the Queen has rewarded me, our family must thank you for the reward. You can hand the note to the palace tomorrow."

The eldest lady would have been unwilling before, but now she agreed without saying a word.

Thanks for the reward?

Madam Tai still wants her to publicize the matter.
