After a while.
Cheng Yang squatted half-crouched and looked at Jiao Er thoughtfully.
Jiao Er said something just now, but he didn't hear it clearly.
He seems to be some kind of general...
"General."
Si Rujian stood at the back.
"Have you found it?" Cheng Yang asked.
"Yes," Si Rujian replied, "The second boy who died seemed to have a clean background, but in fact he had been taking orders from the imperial guards from the beginning, and he died at the hands of the imperial guards in the end."
"The Imperial Guards," Cheng Yang nodded, "the palace's methods."
He stood up, and Si Rujian reminded him ruthlessly: "Your order is also the emperor's method."
Cheng Yang paused.
"At this point, the situation is clear enough, and the general can close the net. This Qing Lingyi has no use value, so the general should kill it as soon as possible. If it is not eradicated in time, I am afraid it will become your weakness in the future."
Cheng Yang stood up and said without turning his head: "If she dies, the emperor will become suspicious."
Si Rujian continued: "Just put the blame on others."
He glanced at Jiao Er on the ground: "Like him."
Cheng Yang remained silent.
Si Rujian took a step forward: "General, if it's not convenient for you to take action, then it's up to me..."
Cheng Yang suddenly glanced sideways, his eyes were extremely cold and stern, with an overbearing and threatening look.
Si Rujian instinctively stopped speaking.
"Don't touch her." Cheng Yang warned sternly.
"Why?" Si Rujian is not Wu Liang, so he is not that afraid of him. "Is it possible that Qing Lingyi is the general's weakness?"
There was silence for a moment.
Cheng Yang spoke slowly: "I can't talk about her weakness. I just think she is very interesting. It would be a good pastime to keep her by my side."
After a slight pause, the corner of his lips curved into a smile with unknown meaning: "Besides, can't we use her hand to get rid of the Jiang family? Kill two birds with one stone, why not do it."
·
Mrs. Xue was going back to Jingchenxuan, but she said she had eaten half of her breakfast and was still hungry.
Qing Lingyi smiled and said: "I wonder what mother had for breakfast? I cooked noodles today and mixed the soup myself."
The old lady made a decision immediately: "Let's go to Yanshan Residence and have a look."
Qing Lingyi pushed the boat along: "Then I will serve a big bowl for mother."
"I know you are filial!"
Old Mrs. Xue happily held her hand and raised the doubt that had troubled her for a while: "By the way, Lingyi, what are you and Mr. San doing hiding behind the flower hall this early in the morning? Still hugging each other?" "
Qing Lingyi was stunned.
It can't be said that Jiang Yizhou made an appointment there, right? Is it possible to say that he tickled her...
The thought of scratching brought that weird feeling back.
It didn't take long for the blush on Qing Lingyi's face to subside before it started to burn again: "I...we..."
He stammered and couldn't explain why for a long time.
Seeing her shy look, Mrs. Xue pieced together the outline in her mind.
It's the time when newlyweds are inseparable.
This son of hers is deviant, a troublemaker, and has many tricks up his sleeve.
He must have felt that it was not fun to be in bed at night, so he deliberately chose a day to stay out...
That scene was so exciting that Mrs. Xue really didn't dare to think about it anymore given her age.
She smiled broadly and patted the back of her daughter-in-law's hand: "Okay, I understand. But you two still have to be careful."
Qing Lingyi:?
Why do you feel like your mother doesn't understand?
"Right, let's get down to business." The old lady cleared her throat.
"……What?"
"This Jiao Er is a fellow countryman of Aunt Zhao. He is a good settler and good at handwriting, but he is a beast. He just stole some silver, but he still dominates the house, belittles the young maid, and even forces Several people took turns spending the night with him. If Aunt Qi hadn't noticed, I would have been kept in the dark."
Qing Ling Yishou frowned: "How can this person be so annoying?"
"Isn't that right! He is just a toad with his skin peeled off. He is disgusting when alive, but scary when dead!"
The dirty words came out unconsciously. For the sake of her obedient daughter-in-law, the old lady tried to restrain herself and said: "I was in poor health at that time, and Aunt Zhao tried her best to protect him, so I couldn't give him any decent punishment." , I only tried my best to compensate those maids."
"Such a person should be beaten out with a stick!" Qing Lingyi clenched his fist angrily.
Mrs. Xue smiled and said, "So, it's time to talk about my new plan."
Qing Lingyi turned his face.
"I think Bi Wei is a good accountant. From now on, she will be the accounting clerk of the General's Mansion."
"What?!" Qing Lingyi was shocked.
"I wanted to drag that Jiao Er out and beat him to death, but I have to take the overall situation into consideration. Now that I don't have anything to worry about, why should I hesitate?"
Qing Lingyi was worried: "But Biwei and I are not fully familiar with the affairs of the house yet..."
The old lady smiled and comforted her: "So this is just a plan, and we don't want to kill Jiao Er now. You two should learn all the skills first, and then I will do it."
Qing Lingyi thought about it and nodded: "Then just listen to mother!"
While talking, Yanshanju arrived.
Wu Liang and Bi Wei were both at the door.
Bi Wei's face was full of anxiety, and she was pacing back and forth, constantly looking outside.
When she saw Qing Lingyi, she was overjoyed and rushed forward without thinking: "Madam!"
Qing Lingyi caught her and asked, "What's wrong?"
Bi Wei's eyes were red: "I thought..."
Noticing Mrs. Xue beside her, she choked up.
Qing Lingyi could guess what she was doing and smiled: "Do you think I will miss your bowl of noodle soup? How is that possible?"
Bi Wei wanted to cry inexplicably, so she bit her lip and tried to hold it back.
Qing Lingyi turned to the old lady: "Mom, please wait for me in the room first, and I'll go get some noodles and bring them over."
"OK."
After Mrs. Xue left, Qing Lingyi held Bi Wei's hand: "Let's go."
Biwei said "hmm" with a cry in her voice.
"Why are you crying?" Qing Lingyi tilted her head.
"I...I didn't complete any of the tasks assigned by my wife." Bi Wei blamed herself.
Qing Lingyi smiled and squeezed her palm: "It's okay. You've done your best. I know that."
Biwei's tears fell. She raised her hand to wipe them away quickly and asked, "Madam...is everything okay?"
Qing Lingyi nodded: "Everything is fine, the general is not angry."
Biwei was relieved.
She also felt that the madam was powerful. She had never been in contact with him in the past, so she didn’t know. Today she tried to contact the general and found that he was really a devil!
The experience with him was a nightmare!
I don’t know how the lady did it.
Entering the small kitchen, Qing Lingyi was making noodle soup and jerky, giving Biwei a bowl, her mother a bowl, and herself. She was still hungry even though she was so busy.
Bi Wei came up to help, lowered her voice, and asked, "Madam, what did Mr. Jiang say about General Qing?"
