Chapter 214 Shang Shang 3

In the bamboo branch garden, Xia Mengning was lying on the pear blossom wood** and fell asleep, but suddenly she felt something wrong and suddenly woke up. Sitting up, Xia Mengning looked out of the window through the screen in front of the window. The sky was already bright, and there was a slight walking sound in the yard.

Xia Mengning stretched out her finger and pinched her eyebrows and said, "Jiu'er."

After a while, Jiu'er, dressed in an emerald green dress, came in and saw that Xia Mengning had got up. Jiu'er hurried forward and pulled the tent open and pulled it into the copper hook behind.

"Miss, why did you get up so early today?" Jiu'er came forward with her clothes and asked while serving Xia Mengning.

Xia Mengning frowned, "Somehow, I suddenly felt uneasy." With that, Xia Mengning put on her shoes and stood up. She walked to the side and washed her face with the water mixed with rose dew. She said, "My eyelids are jumping. I always feel that something is going to happen."

Jiu'er untied Xia Mengning's hand towel and said, "May if it's getting hotter and hotter this day, I'm going to make some sweet soup for the young lady in the afternoon to make her sleep better."

Xia Mengning nodded, sat in front of the prism and yawned. Jiu'er combed her hair and smiled, "A while ago, Miss said that she wanted to eat green balls. Sister Zhulian finally ground fresh green beans for the young lady, and the young lady can eat it this morning."

Xia Mengning smiled. The two were walking out of the inner room and preparing to go for a walk in the garden. They saw Wu Qing coming in with a solemn face. Seeing Xia Mengning, they said, "It's not good."

Xia Mengning was stunned, and the little uneasiness in her heart was expanded more and more. Before she could speak, she heard Wu Qing say, "Young lady... died yesterday."

Xia Mengning was stunned and felt that her limbs and bones trembled violently. She almost doubted her ears, "What? Wu Qing, can you say it again?

Wu Qing gritted his teeth and looked a little sad, "Miss Liu, it's gone."

Xia Mengning suddenly closed her eyes and opened them again after a long time, "Go to the cold garden."

When the three masters and servants arrived at Yihan Garden, there were already some girls and servants watching the bustle at the door. Xia Mengning was extremely upset and said, "Go back to your own place immediately. If anyone is still here, drag me down and beat them to death."

Everyone was shocked and hurriedly dispersed. Xia Mengning held Jiu'er's hand and walked in. There was a corpse on the ground in the front room. The ** on the left was full of blood. Xia Mengning's heart suddenly huddled into a ball and hurried forward.

The body was Liu Shihan. There was a blue and purple mark on her neck. Xia Mengning came forward to see her, but her eyes were dark and she almost fainted.

Jiu'er and Wu Qing hurriedly held her behind her. Xia Mengning calmed down and looked around and said, "Why is there no one to invite Dad?"

The little girl knelt aside and said, "If you go back to Miss San, there is someone from the young lady's mother's house, and she is talking to the master."

Xia Mengning nodded. At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door. It was Xia Chuanyuan and Liu Shihan's parents who walked in.

Xia Mengning retreated aside and saw Mrs. Liu and Liu Shangshu jumping in front of Liu Shihan's body and crying regardless of others.

Xia Chuanyuan also looked sad and didn't know what to do. Liu and his wife cried and said, "Xia Cheng, this marriage was chosen by the little girl. A few days ago, I received a letter from the little girl saying that she wanted to make peace. Now that such a thing has happened, I don't want to pursue it. It's just a little girl. We must take it back for burial.

Liu's mother also nodded, "Han'er doesn't like it here. We need to take her away."

Xia Chuanyuan wanted to oppose it, but if he was against it now, I'm afraid he couldn't say it, so he had to nod his head and ordered someone to carry Liu Shihan's body out.

Xia Mengning stepped forward, but knelt in front of Liu's mother, and tears fell down. "Auncle, I failed to live up to your expectations. I didn't take good care of Han'er."

Liu's mother knew the relationship between Xia Mengning and Liu Shihan, so she hurriedly reached out to help Xia Mengning up, "Good boy, aunt knows that it's not your fault. Get up..."

Xia Mengning was helped up by Liu's mother. The courtyard had carried Liu Shihan's body out. Xia Chuanyuan looked at Liu's carriage go far away, and then said to Xiao Liuzi, "Go and hire a mage to do something."

After saying that, he turned around and walked out.

Xia Mengning and Jiu'er Wu Qing returned to Zhuzhi Garden. Ge Shi had been waiting in Zhuzhi Garden. Seeing Xia Mengning coming back, Ge Shi hurried forward and said, "Ning'er, are you all right?"

Xia Mengning smiled bitterly, "It's okay, mother, let me be alone first."

Ge Shi also wanted to comfort Wu Qing and said, "Yes, Mrs. Mei, it's better to let Ning'er be alone at this time."

Ge Shi looked at it and then went out with Feicui. Xia Mengning walked back tiredly and heard Ge Shi whispering Zhulian in the garden to let her cook for herself.

Xia Mengning sat on the bed with her hands trembling slightly. She couldn't imagine that Liu Shihan died like this. Thinking of the previous friendship between the two, Xia Mengning couldn't help crying silently.

This uncontrollable feeling was very bad. Xia Mengning clenched her hand fiercely, as if Liu Shihan's smile was still in front of her, but in the blink of an eye, she became the cold body.

The door curtain was lifted. Wu Qing came in and sat opposite Xia Mengning. Xia Mengning didn't look up and said, "Didn't you say that I should be quiet for a while? Why did you come in?"

Wu Qing sat opposite her and said calmly, "Because I found something wrong."

Xia Mengning suddenly raised her head, with tears in the corners of her eyes, and said in surprise, "What, what's wrong? You also doubt..."

Wu Qing raised his eyebrows, "Do you think so? That's because you also found something wrong?"

Xia Mengning took a handkerchief and nodded the corners of her eyes, wiped the tears on her face, and then said, "I observed Han'er's body at close range at that time. It didn't seem to be as simple as hanging himself."

Wu Qing nodded, "I also saw it. Before I came to tell you in the morning, I had thoroughly checked Miss Liu's body. She had her neck broken first and then pretended to hang herself."

"What?" Xia Mengning's hand on the small table suddenly patted, "Who is it? Who will you offend if Han'er doesn't leave home? How can you use such a vicious method?"

Wu Qing shook his head, "I don't know about this, but as you said, Miss Liu doesn't leave home. The person who offends should also be the person in this house."

Xia Mengning nodded, "That's right. It's just that Haner has just entered the Prime Minister's mansion for a few months. Who will she have such a deep hatred with?"

Wu Qing jumped off his bed, went to Xia Mengning's ear and said a few words quietly. Xia Mengning was surprised: "Is that true?"

Wu Qing nodded, "It's inseparable."

Xia Mengning put her hand on the edge of the small table and couldn't help clenched it fiercely. "If that's the case, then I must use my own blade."

In March, there is a charming scenery of good spring. At the foot of the Jingming Temple, a carriage slowly stopped. The carriage was surrounded by a blue cloth, and the elegant tassels hung on both sides. It was not flamboyant, which was a very delicate tone.

The curtain of the sedan chair was lifted. Cui Xin jumped down from the carriage first, moved a small stool under the carriage, and shouted, "Second Master, we are here."

It was Changsunli who got off first. Changsunli got out of the carriage, and then he helped Zheng Ruilan in the carriage.

Zheng Ruilan is dressed in a light red dress and combed with a straight bun. She is originally a beautiful appearance. Now after dressing up quietly and being taken care of by her eldest grandson in the past few days, Zheng Ruilan's pink cheeks are shy, and her rosy color adds a little more beautiful color to her face.

In the past few days, Changsunli accompanied Zheng Ruilan day by day because of his guilt for Zheng Ruilan. Unexpectedly, he fell in love with him for a long time. Zheng Ruilan's daughter temperament and gentle and considerate personality deeply moved Chang Sunli. Now Changsunli and Zheng Ruilan can be said to be you and me all day long, and they have a good relationship.

Changsunli stretched out his hand to hold Zheng Ruilan's jade hand and said, "Would you like to hire a soft sedan chair for you? I'm afraid your body won't stand it."

Zheng Ruilan smiled. She knew that Changsun Li really loved her, so she shook her head more and more, "No, it's better to be sincere to worship Buddha. I must climb up step by step in person."

The eldest grandson frowned and was about to say something when he saw Zheng Ruilan stretched out his hand to cover his lips. "Second master, I know that the second master loves my concubine. Unfortunately, I have been with the second master for several months. There is still no movement in my stomach. The second master doesn't say anything, but he must also mind. My concubine is sincere today. Wei Erye and my concubine beg for a child..."

With that, he seemed to be too shy and lowered his head.

Changsun was moved, and his hand became tighter and tighter. His eyes said affectionately, "Lan'er, I will not betray you in my life."

Zheng Ruilan raised his head, his eyes touched his eyes, and couldn't help blushing.

Cui Xin, who was beside her, saw it and said with a smile, "Although the sun in this spring is not hot, the second master and his wife can't stand in the sun for too long. What you say is better to say when there is no one."

With that, Cuixin covered her mouth with a smile.

Seeing this, Zheng Ruilan immediately pulled his hand back and pretended to be angry and said, "Well, you little hoof, how dare you arrange the master if you have nothing to do..."

The three masters and servants climbed up the mountain talking and laughing, begged for the son and worshipped the Buddha. It was not until it was dark that they went back to the royal palace.

When he returned to the royal palace, the eldest grandson said, "Let's have dinner to Rui Laixuan. My wife and I will use it together."

The little man listened and said, "Second master, my aunt is already waiting for you in the Yuhua Pavilion, and she has set up a table of dishes, just waiting for you to go there."

As soon as Zheng Ruilan heard this, his face was immediately a little ugly. Cuixin beside him saw it and hurried forward and said, "Bold, can you be a slave to ask about the master's affairs? Didn't you hear the second master say that he was going to eat in his wife's room?"

The little man looked left and right in embarrassment. In his sleeve, a piece of gold ingots just given by Xia Mengran was heavily pressed there, which made him say no, no, no.

Changsun Li looked at it and turned to Zheng Ruilan and said, "Lan'er, go back to your room and wait for me first. I'll go there to have a look and come back in a while."
