Want to hold the king's hand, but the king runs away

When Zhong Ling went to wash Ruiyi's clothes, she passed by the side courtyard. Seeing that the door of Aunt Jin's room was open, she was curious and walked over with her things.

When I got to the door and looked inside, I saw Qingyi rummaging through something anxiously.

Zhong Ling greeted her with a smile: "Sister Qingyi, what are you looking for?"

Suddenly hearing someone calling her, Qingyi was startled trembling at first, but she didn't take it seriously when she saw that it was Zhong Ling, "Why are you walking so softly, it startled me. I saw that there is a lot of dust in this room." There are quite a few, so come over and help clean up."

After speaking, she got up again and stopped what she was doing.

"Really? Does Sister Qingyi need my help?"

"No need. It's almost there." Qingyi shook her head, as if thinking of something, she asked her: "On weekdays, you pass by here the most. Have you ever seen anyone going in and out of here?"

Zhong Ling thought for a long time as if recalling: "Since Aunt Jin came home, it seems that no one has entered this house."

The doubts in Qingyi's eyes became more intense, and she wondered in her heart, how could those letters disappear for no reason like this?

Seeing her like this, Zhong Ling asked her with a smile: "Sister Qingyi, I still have to go back to Cuiwei's place, you should do your work first."

Qingyi nodded and let her leave here.

This afternoon, Cui Wei told Zhong Ling to go out and buy some rouge and come back. After finishing her work, she didn't go back in time, but went to Jin Shu's house.

Jin Shu was writing the plan of the pawn shop, when she saw her coming, she quickly put down her pen and asked, "You came here suddenly, but what did Mrs. Yu do?"

"This morning, I saw Qingyi go to Aunt Jin's house, thinking I was looking for those love poems. Miss, do you want me to take them back now?"

"No. I still have use for that thing."

heard the words.Zhong Ling frowned and asked her: "But if it disappears out of thin air, I'm afraid there will be suspicion from Mrs. Yu."

Jin Shu didn't show any worry, she took the ink ingot and began to grind it calmly, "Isn't there still mother Liu?"

Zhong Ling suddenly realized: "Miss, do you mean to put the blame on her?"

"She is the only person in the house who knows that there is that letter. Now that the things are lost, she is naturally the most suspect." Jinshu looked up at her, "Didn't she call you to report Cuiwei's situation from time to time? If you need to go to Mrs. Yu and give her a few words, she will naturally try to get rid of her without dirtying our hands."

Seeing the desolation in Jin Shu's expression, Zhong Ling realized that she had really changed a lot.

Although the former Jinshu was not as noisy as girls of the same age.But she would also talk and laugh, and she could always see happiness on her face, but now it was as cold as ice, and her emotions and desires were rarely expressed on her face.

Today, she always looks calm and calm, but if you look deeper, you can see the pain and loneliness in her eyes.

Zhong Ling didn't know how to comfort her, so she talked about another person who cared about her: "The Kang Judiciary still came to give Ruide an injection on time. I saw him go to the side courtyard after he was busy a few times, and then kept Standing under the locust tree and looking at your house, miss, I miss you very much."

Listen to the word Kang Ting.Jin Shu's hands paused.

Sensitive Zhong Ling noticed Jin Shu's strangeness, and she smiled and persuaded Jin Shu: "Girl, Judgment Kang is a person who really cares for you. When his revenge is avenged in the future, he will be ecstatic when he sees your appointment."

Will there be such a day?Jinshu asked herself, but didn't get an answer.

Jin Shu smiled helplessly, and pulled back her thoughts, "By the way, last time you told me that the maid who served me was assigned to Ruide's room, and she hasn't been transferred to another place, right?"

Thinking of that maid, Zhong Ling's expression turned a little dark: "She has made such a great contribution to Yu Shi, and such a good job as serving the eldest son, naturally fell on her head, and Yu Shi gave her a name again, It's called Hongsu, and you don't have to do anything except bring tea and water to Ruide."

Giving her such an ambiguous name and only asking her to do such a small thing seems to have some meaning.

Jin Shu pondered for a moment, then asked her: "Does Yu want her to be the housekeeper for the young master?"

"Girl, are you a god from the sky? Why every time I tell you a little thing, you can guess everything." Zhong Ling praised Jin Shu slightly exaggeratedly, "Rui De wakes up, one day When she got up in the morning, her bottom was wet, so Yu thought of finding someone to relieve her. She must have thought that this maid could be handled by her, so she let her go."

Seeing that Jin Shu was not amused by her appearance, Zhong Ling restrained her expression in embarrassment, and saved the situation by herself: "The girl suddenly asked this person, is she trying to clean her up?"

"I originally wanted to use her to make Ruide and Yu Shi turn against each other, but now it seems that it can't be done?"

The matter that had been planned for many days was shattered by this sudden news, Jin Shu's eyes sank.

Zhong Ling hurriedly stepped forward and tugged at her robe, "Girl, don't worry, you are so smart, you will be able to come up with a countermeasure soon."

Seeing Zhong Ling's kindness, Jin Shu took her hand and patted it: "If you don't have anything to do recently, you don't have to come here. Go and see your brother when you have time, I don't know if he is alone How's it going up there?"

"I don't care about that idiot?"

Seeing Zhong Ling chattering about Zhong Ming's stupefaction after studying, Jin Shu finally smiled as happily as before.

That night, after Zhong Ling served Cuiwei and Zhao Chi to sleep, she went to the main room alone, and entered the back room, and saw Shi Yu sitting on a chair, and Qingyi was rubbing her shoulders.

Yu Shi heard Zhong Ling ask Ann, and slowly opened her squinted eyes, "These days, has the master mentioned to Cuiwei about adopting her as a concubine?"

Zhong Ling shook her head and said, "Master never mentioned this to her. Except that they come more frequently during this period, there is nothing special about it."

After saying this, Mrs. Yu didn't say anything. Zhong Ling was thinking about how to tell about Mama Liu, but unexpectedly she asked, "You and Mama Liu sleep in the same room. These days, what's so strange about seeing her?" move?"

"Mother Liu?" Zhong Ling seemed to be recalling, and after a while she said: "Two days ago, because I was not feeling well, Cui Wei put me up early, so I went back to the house to rest. When I entered the house, I saw Mother Liu was holding a few envelopes in her hand, and when she saw me, she hurriedly hid those things, not knowing what secrets were written inside?"

envelope??

Qing Yi quickly took the call, and said: "No wonder I couldn't find those things. Presumably that woman must have noticed something and wanted to use this to continue to blackmail you, so she sneaked in and took those things away."

Yu's face was worried when he heard this.

"Anything else?"

"It's nothing else. The eldest lady understands, we are a group of servants mixed together, what else can we do except call ourselves poor?"

When Qing Yi was adding water to Shi Yu, seeing that her complexion was extremely bad, she quickly sent Zhong Ling out.

"Ma'am, have you forgotten what the doctor told you? You were stagnant and hurt your liver a few years ago, but now you are the most taboo to get angry easily. Why can't you control yourself?"

Hearing Qingyi's concern for her, Yu couldn't help feeling a little bit: "It's good that you have been with me all these years. When I was young, I was suppressed by Jin Mingruo, and my parents always felt that I was not as good as a concubine, so they didn't want to see me." .It was so hard to get Jin Mingruo bruised, but she used such disgusting methods to seduce the master. After fighting openly and secretly for so many years, she and Jinshu were finally dealt with. I thought I could finally live a peaceful life. But now I can Fly these disgusting things to scare me."

Scenes of the past flashed before her eyes, Qingyi thought about these things, and smiled: "You know, how can you still be so angry for an old woman like Liu Mama after you have survived such a hard time? Madam, you Being so smart, she will definitely be able to get rid of her."

"I'm getting angry more and more easily, and I don't know why. Maybe a woman at this age is not cared for, and it's easy to make trouble."

Yu picked up the bronze mirror on the side, and looked at herself in the mirror seriously.

I sighed in my heart, I am really old, not as good-looking as before.

Seeing her movements, Qingyi guessed her thoughts, picked up the tortoiseshell hairpin next to her, and pinned it on her head.

"Mistress, no matter what, there are still people who appreciate your beauty? You see, you are still full of charm with this hairpin. Although you have not had a good time alone with him these years because of Linfu, But I saw that sometimes I bumped into each other at banquets. He still looked at you secretly, and you would understand what the longing in his eyes was."

Listening to Qingyi talking about that person, Yu's face flushed slightly, "I'm already at this age, yet you still use him to tease me."

Qingyi teased: "Yes, yes, no more teasing. But lady, do you want me to find a way to send a message? How are you two?"

Mrs. Yu sighed, and said, "Let's clean up Mother Liu first, lest she cause any trouble again."

From this point of view, Mother Liu had to deal with her earlier.

In the early morning of the next day, Mrs. Yu asked Qingyi to call Hongsu to her room early in the morning. She gave Hongsu a package of things. I'm a little scared. Can I stop doing such a thing?"

Yu smiled mockingly: "You were very courageous when you made Miss San, why are you hesitant about such a trivial matter now?"

Hearing Yu's mention of Jinshu, Hongsu was very embarrassed: "At that time, I was really short of money. That's why I did such a thing against my conscience."

Yu raised her eyebrows, "You mean, what I have done is completely unconscionable?"

Hongsu realized that she had made a slip of the tongue, and quickly explained: "No, no, please forgive me for my unpleasant mouth. It's just that I'm a dull person, and I'm afraid of revealing something."

"Don't worry. You just need to say in front of everyone that you saw Mother Liu stealing this thing from the warehouse, and you don't need to say anything else."

Hongsu is also a pure and good person by nature, but because Qian stepped on the boat of Yu Shi, now she wants to evacuate but has no chance at all, Yu Shi is a mad dog that bites people and won't let them go.

There is no way to refuse.Hongsu could only nod his head.

Seeing her agreeing, Mrs. Yu immediately changed her gentle face and asked, "Did the eldest son do that with you?"

Hongsu lowered her head in embarrassment and shook her head, that shy look was also a bit seductive.

"Hongsu, you can help me do things with peace of mind and take care of the eldest son. There will be many benefits in the future. If you dare to play tricks with me, I have plenty of ways to deal with you, do you know?"

Yu said these words with a smile on her face, and goosebumps all over Hongsu's body unconsciously rose up.Thinking of her and Qingyi's hateful tricks towards Jinshu, I was terrified.

Not daring to chat with Mrs. Yu any more, Hongsu hurried back to the servant's room with the bag and hid her in Mother Liu's bag.

At every hour of the day, the maids and mothers-in-law finished their work and returned to the room.

Everyone was soaking their feet or chatting, but suddenly Qingyi was ushered in.

I saw Qingyi who suddenly pushed the door and entered, followed by two male servants, and the maidservants in middle clothes screamed in fright.

Before everyone could ask her why she came, Qingyi politely said to everyone: "Come here suddenly tonight, I disturbed the sisters. It's just that the eldest lady found two packages of bird's nest missing when she took inventory today. Those things were a gift from King Kang's mansion." The ones that came down are very expensive. So I had to take advantage of everyone's presence and search the room in front of everyone, please forgive me."

After saying that, she saw the servant girls who were only wearing middle clothes, and said to the servants behind her intimately: "Turn around and avoid it for a while, and start after the younger sisters are dressed."

Seeing Qingyi being so polite, everyone couldn't help feeling resentful. After dressing properly according to her instructions, they stood aside and watched the three of them carefully check everyone's bags and packages.

Zhong Ling smiled softly at the side, and she knew what tricks they were playing at a glance.

Sure enough, the bird's nest was found in Mama Liu's package. Before Mama Liu could react and yell, Qingyi took the lead in saying, "Mama Liu is an old man. It's a bit uncomfortable to ask her in front of so many people." It's a shame. All the sisters go out first, and I will come out after chatting with Liu's mother alone."

Mother Liu first thought that Mrs. Yu was going to slander her, but when she saw that they only took out the package of things of unknown origin, but did not find out the money, she was a little puzzled and wondered whether she should make a fuss or not.

Now seeing Qingyi giving herself face like this, she felt that maybe she was thinking too much, so she didn't shout, but quietly waited for everyone to go out, and was going to clarify this matter with Qingyi.

But when the gate was closed, Qingyi directly ordered the two servants, "The evidence is solid. Go cover your mouth first, and then tie it up, so as not to disturb the slumber of the master and the lady."

The two servants were also nimble. Before Mama Liu could say anything, they covered her mouth and tied her up with a rope.

A group of maids were standing and chatting outside, and they were discussing this in private.

Hongsu cowardly and softly said: "I saw Mama Liu take out two packages from the storeroom, I never thought it would be this..."

Hongsu has always given people the impression that she is an honest and responsible person. After she said this, everyone started chattering about how Mama Liu was lazy and took advantage of others. For a while, everyone seemed to have agreed She is the thief.

Zhong Ling also agreed with everyone, and said a few bad things about Liu's mother, but her eyes kept on Hongsu, thinking in her heart, it seems that this person has completely surrendered to Yu's side.

While everyone was whispering nonsense, Mother Liu had already been dragged out.

Qingyi gave the two servants a wink, told them to throw Mama Liu into the utility room, and walked up to them by herself.

"I'm sorry to trouble everyone today. Ms. Liu has already recruited it. She committed the crime. She stole two packages of bird's nest. One package was going to be taken back to her seriously ill grandson, and the other package was exchanged at the pawn shop. Silver. I will report it to the eldest lady tomorrow to see how she decides on this matter. Go back to your room and sleep first." After speaking, Qingyi turned and left.

Afterwards, Mrs. Yu sent a letter to Mama Liu's family, telling them that Mama Liu had stolen the bird's nest rewarded by the Wang Mansion in the Zhao Mansion. The punishment is great, but the lost package of bird’s nest is worth 70 taels, and the family needs money to redeem it.

Mother Liu's daughter-in-law found out about this.He hurried to Bianjing City to inquire about this matter with the servants of the Zhao Mansion many times, and everyone said exactly the same thing, thinking that the mother-in-law from my family really committed such a stupid thing.

It's just that even if they borrowed from relatives and friends, it is impossible for them to come up with so much money.

Thinking that there were still two young sons to be raised, the daughter-in-law had to ask Mrs. Liu to dispose of Liu's mother at will after repeated discussions with Liu's mother's son.

Here, Ms. Liu was locked up in the utility room. She was seriously injured and incontinent, and because no one came to see her for treatment, she died within a few days.

When Qingyi went to tell Yu Shi the news, she was sitting on the desk making tea.

"It's finally resolved. After the stone in my heart fell, I felt a lot better." Yu took a sip of tea, and his face became much calmer.

Qingyi sat on her knees, beat her legs, and said: "Seeing that you are in a good mood, I am relieved. Madam, the rest of the day is just to have fun with all your heart."

When the word "enjoyment" was mentioned, Mrs. Yu came to her mind: "You said I haven't asked him out for so many years, would he still dare to come out?"

Qingyi smiled and replied: "For men, wives are not as good as concubines, concubines are not as good as stealing, and stealing is not as good as not being able to steal. I think he is thinking about the big lady very much. I can guarantee that if the big lady gives him a little hint, he will definitely I'll do my best to get out."

"You girl!" Yu Shi smiled, and said again: "Qingyi, you are not young anymore. After taking care of me for more than 20 years, have you never thought about getting married? Although I hate you, as long as you say it, I will I will definitely nod and agree. In the past, Jin Mingruo was there and you were worried about me, so you stayed by my side. Now that she is completely dead, you have nothing to worry about."

Qingyi shook her head very resolutely: "After seeing you and the master, I'm a little afraid of getting married because of things like you and him, so I'll just serve you well."

"You?" Shi Yu shook her head, and then ordered Qingyi: "Today is the day when Kang Ting gave Ruide an injection, you can wait for me to ask about Ruide's situation. Now, besides worrying about my son, There's no big problem."

Without saying a few words, Qingyi bid farewell to Mrs. Yu, and walked towards Ruide's room.

When she went, the door was open, and as soon as Qingyi stepped in, she saw Kang Ting was giving Ruide an injection, she didn't dare to disturb her, so she stood quietly by the side, waiting for them to finish.

In the past, Kang Ting was always as gentle as water, moistening things silently.

But at some point, he inexplicably became very indifferent, and there was always a little worry between his brows and eyes, as if something was pressing in his heart and he couldn't solve it.

It's just that no matter what kind of posture, his handsome appearance and proud temperament can always catch people's attention.

Looking quietly at the elegant and handsome Kang Ting like this, Qingyi suddenly remembered what the eldest lady asked herself just now, and she unconsciously wondered, would Kang Ting be different?After all, for the sake of his dead wife, he never even thought about the matter of continuous strings.

Inexplicably, Qingyi felt a little hot in her heart.

Seeing Kang Ting get up and withdraw the needle, Qingyi's mind returned to the right track. She hurried in to salute and greet the two, and then explained to them why she came.

She invited Kang Ting to the yard alone, and asked about Ruide's situation.

After explaining Qingyi's medicine that needs to be replaced, Kang Ting said concisely: "For now, it's nothing serious, as long as you don't get hurt anymore, take good care of it for a few years, and you'll recover slowly."

Being so close to Kang Ting, Qingyi's heart beats inexplicably faster.

Thinking of having a few more words with him, he said with a slight smile, "No wonder Miss Jinshu likes Kang Jue so much. Kang Jue is not only skilled in medicine, but also as careful as dust. it is good."

Listening to Qingyi talking about Jinshu, Kang Ting's heart seemed to be squeezed tightly, and he was very uncomfortable, as if talking to himself, he laughed lightly: "I like it so much? Didn't I also marry the North?"

Since hearing what the boy said last time, Kang Ting locked himself in the room for a few days, repeatedly weighing whether to go to Jin Shu.

She could easily say that she loved herself, but she was afraid of bearing the consequences of this feeling. In the end, in order to escape, she left here with a strange man regardless.

To mess up my heart in such a mess, then shake off my sleeves and leave, I really look like a heartless man who is heartless and ungrateful.

Thinking of this, Kang Ting smiled helplessly, now he looks like a bitter woman.

"What did the Kang Judicial Bureau think of? Why are you so happy?" Qingyi's face became softer.

"It's nothing, you go and call Mrs. Zhao yourself. I'll go first."

Qingyi wanted to persuade her to stay, but she didn't know how to speak, so she could only sigh and leave Ruide's yard.

After returning to the house, Kang Ting gave Ruide a few instructions, and then carried the medicine box to prepare to leave the house, but in the middle of the journey, he suddenly remembered that there was still a bottle of medicine powder left in Ruide's room and forgot to take it away, so he turned back.

Just arrived at the door, but I heard Ruide smiling and asking: "Hongsu, don't be shy. Tell me in detail, what did you see Jin Shu and Mr. Pan look like on the bed that morning? Didn't you scare me too? Was Mr. Pan naked at the time?"

These words successfully made Kang Ting stop.
