Qing Lingyi realized that this was Cheng Yang's revenge.
Just because she stood up for Cheng Anle and said something to him.
He was sure that she was thin-skinned and deliberately wanted to embarrass her.
The third young lady of the General's Mansion is really as childish as she is naive, and also as perverted as she is perverted.
"Lingyi, why are your face so red?" Mrs. Xue noticed something was wrong.
Qing Lingyi came back to her senses: "The weather is too hot, it's red."
Mrs. Xue: "It hasn't just rained. It's very cool."
Qing Lingyi choked and looked for another excuse: "I'm drinking porridge. This porridge is too hot."
Mrs. Xue: "You didn't even pick up the spoon. What did you drink?"
Qing Lingyi: "..."
Really going crazy!
Cheng Yang watched and laughed out loud.
Half of the anger was gone.
But it's only half of it.
He smiled and said: "It's all my fault, talking about last night. Madam must have remembered what happened in the bathroom last night, so she was shy."
Qing Lingyi's pupils dilated in disbelief and stared at Cheng Yang.
Instead, he raised his eyebrows proudly and looked back.
"You two are almost done!"
Mrs. Xue couldn't listen anymore.
She knew that Cheng Yang had been away for two days. As the saying goes, a goodbye is better than a wedding. Thinking about it last night, she knew how intense the two of them were.
But after all, we were still having breakfast, and there was Cheng Anle beside us.
She said: "You and Ling Yi have discussed how to deal with that woman, so I can rest assured. There is nothing else. Okay, let's have breakfast first! Ling Yi, don't be shy and blush like this. Those who don’t know think that Third Master has done something shameful to you!”
“……”
Qing Lingyi was about to cry, mother, he really did it!
Fortunately, by this time, Cheng Yang's anger had completely dissipated.
He pulled back his hand as if nothing had happened.
This breakfast meal was not made by Qing Lingyi, it had no taste at all, and he ate it tastelessly.
He missed her craftsmanship.
But at this moment, Qing Lingyi was quite complaining about Cheng Yang.
angry!
I don’t want to cook anything for him anymore!
After breakfast, Cheng Yang left first.
Two brothers, Cheng Jun and Cheng Zheng, came to Jingchenxuan to pay their respects to their grandmother and took Cheng Anle to play.
Mrs. Xue and Qing Lingyi sat drinking tea and chatting about family affairs.
Wu Liang came in, bowed and said, "Old lady, madam, the cause of Aunt Zhao's death that I was asked to investigate a few days ago is now clear."
Qing Lingyi took a sip of tea.
The old lady was very interested: "Tell me, which hero did it?"
"It's Aunt Zhao's maid, Hongxiu."
Qing Lingyi suddenly raised his head.
"According to the confession of the servants of the Cuiyu Courtyard, Aunt Zhao hated the third lady. She felt that the lady was not only disrespectful to her, but also took over the power of the housekeeper. A few days ago, during Concubine Ming's birthday party, she tried every means to arrange for Hong Xiu to enter the palace. She wanted to They made some noise, but failed. Aunt Zhao blamed Hong Xiu. In the past, Hong Xiu was often scolded by Aunt Zhao, and there was almost no good skin on her body. She had long held a grudge, but this time she didn't want to When he was humiliated again, he cut Aunt Zhao's throat when she resisted." This was the argument Cheng Yang taught Wu Liang, and it was well-founded and convincing.
The old lady had no doubts and just asked: "Where is this red-sleeved man now?"
"She killed someone and was very scared. She hid for several days. Unable to bear the pressure, she hanged herself. The body was only found this morning. Does the old lady want to take a look?"
"Don't look at it." Old Mrs. Xue didn't have this habit. "Look for a better coffin and bury her properly."
Killing Zhao Wanrong was a great achievement.
If Hong Xiu is still alive, the old lady will definitely praise her and keep her around for future use.
"But if she was beaten and scolded all year round, Hongxiu should be extremely frightened of Zhao Wanrong. She didn't dare to resist at first, but she wouldn't resist later. Why did she kill Zhao Wanrong this time?" Qing Lingyi was really puzzled.
Wu Liang was stunned.
"Also, cutting a throat is not easy. Hong Xiu looks like an ordinary maid. How did she do it?"
“……”
Wu Liang was about to cry.
Madam, if you keep asking like this, the truth will come out!
Qing Lingyi frowned and said, "Steward Wu, I'm afraid there is another hidden reason behind this matter."
Wu Liang wanted to say, yes, there is something hidden. The real culprit is the general, your pillowman.
But he can't confess!
He could only put on a serious face and said: "This is also the judgment of Jingzhao Yin Mansion."
Qing Lingyi was silent for a moment.
"If Madam doesn't believe it, she can go to interrogate the servants of Cuiyu Court in person, and she can also see the bodies of Zhao Wanrong and Hongxiu with her own eyes."
Without waiting for Qing Lingyi's reply, Mrs. Xue said: "There is no need to go and see it! The weather is hot, and the corpse may be rotten and smelly. It is really inconvenient for you, a little girl, to go. What's more, Zhao Wanrong deserves to die. No matter who killed him, it doesn't matter. It's just that a red sleeve died unjustly, but it has nothing to do with you. If there is any grievance, the Jingzhao Yin Mansion will investigate it."
Qing Lingyi stroked the wall of the white porcelain cup and said no more.
"The most important thing to you right now is Qingli. She is being held captive at home!" the old lady reminded.
Qing Lingyi's eyebrows frowned slightly.
Yes, Qingri.
But she couldn't figure it out. Since Cheng Yang knew that Jiang Yizhou arranged for Qingli to come, why would he leave her at home?
Mrs. Xue asked about Wu Liang: "By the way, Butler Wu, is your uncle feeling better?"
"Thank you, old lady, for your concern," Wu Liang forced a smile, "I think he's getting better."
"It is said that doctors do not heal themselves. Dr. Xin is here these days. If Dr. Wu is not feeling well, I will ask Dr. Xin to come over and take a look."
"I'd like to thank the old lady in advance for my uncle." Wu Liang said, actually feeling very sad.
Old Mrs. Xue said to Qing Lingyi: "Doctor Wu and Wu Liang, uncle and nephew, their hometown was burned by war. There were more than 20 people in the family. Only two of them survived, but they didn't have food or water for several days. , hungry to the point of skin and bones. The old general gave them a bite to eat, and they voluntarily stayed in the army. They have been loyal to each other for many years. Now, they are uncle and nephew and are part of a family. "
Qing Lingyi nodded slightly.
Wu Liang listened, and his heart became even more panicked.
·
The east wing of the General's Mansion.
Jingzhao Shaoyin Lu Ting held up the Jianzhan and felt strange: "It's not normal for you to kill someone to rectify the family tradition. Why did you make up such a bunch of stories and drag me over to act? What's the reason for this?"
Cheng Yang stood casually aside, adding incense to the golden chi head incense burner, and ignored him.
Lu Ting had a sudden thought: "I heard that General Qing's daughter has peach cheeks and apricot face, jade bones and ice skin, and she is even more beautiful and kind-hearted. Could it be that you are doing it for her?"
Cheng Yang's tone was dull: "I think too much."
"You don't like her?"
"I don't like it, it's just His Majesty's decision to marry me."
"Too."
Lu Ting knew that Cheng Yang hated others arranging things for him, including the emperor's engagement.
He thought about it for a while, then suddenly slapped his thigh hard and said with great interest, "How about you give her to me!"
Cheng Yang:?
