On the fourth day of December, the Dingbei Hou Mansion received a letter from Nanchang, which said that Wei Yangqing would set off on the third day of December, and if it went well, he would probably be able to rush home for the New Year.

Mrs. Wei leaned on the big pillow, covered with a flower blanket on her abdomen, handed the letter to the third lady, and asked her with a flat expression: "Is the house all cleaned up?" ”

It's been closed for nearly a year, and it's time to clean up and down the house, remove the old and welcome the new. It's just that because of the summons in the palace recently, no one in the family can take care of the order.

The third lady's face was a little haggard, but she still replied very freely: "I have been instructed to go down, today I will clean the large items first, it is easy to have the sun, take advantage of this time to wash and dry, so as not to be moldy when I get it." ”

She has always been measured, of course Mrs. Wei is relieved, seeing that she is not in good spirits, she asked with some concern: "Is she uncomfortable?" Why is the complexion so bad? ”

Mama Kong, who was waiting outside, chuckled in her heart and sighed slowly.

It's not uncomfortable, but yesterday the old lady of the in-laws came to talk about the Zheng family's affairs, and there was some complaint between the words, saying that the Zheng family was not speaking well, and she also brought out the old things of Puci'an before, and blamed the fifth lady.

Wei Yuyou cried all night, and it was useless for the third lady to persuade her, so she was a little in good spirits.

The third lady naturally couldn't talk to the old lady about Wei Yuyou's trouble, so she shook her head with a smile and changed the topic: "It's for Xiao Qi's business...... I'm always very upset......"

She looked left and right, and was a little curious: "Why haven't you seen Xiao Qi come over today?" ”

Since being looked at differently by Mrs. Wei, Guard is basically inseparable from Mrs. Wei, and she is even more punctual than anyone else in the morning and dusk every day.

Not to mention being absent, she has never even been late or leaving early, but she didn't see Wei An now, and couldn't help but look at Mrs. Wei in surprise: "The will of the first time in the palace, announcing that she will enter the palace on the ninth day of the first month, this looks like the day is coming, why do you still let her go out and walk around?" ”

Mrs. Wei knew what she meant, and suddenly laughed: "She's not walking around..... she said again: "She has a sense of proportion, don't worry......"

Mrs. Wei is so relieved, what else can the third lady say?

Although she knew that Guardforce was unusual, she was still a little in a trance when she heard from Mrs. Wei's mouth that she trusted Guardforce so unguardedly, what did Guardforce do?

She came out of her mind for a while, and there were many stewards outside who wanted to reply, and she quickly stood up: "Don't bother your mother, there are still many things outside, I'll take care of it." ”

Mrs. Wei has never been unpopular in her hands, and the third lady sees this very clearly, she does what she should do, and she never refuses to be smart about what she shouldn't be contaminated.

Mrs. Wei also liked her, nodded at her slightly, and waited for her to go out before letting people in.

Wei Rui has darkened a lot and lost a lot of weight, even if he is wrapped in a thick winter coat, he can see that he is haggard and fragmented, not only that, but his face is extremely pale, as if he has a serious illness.

Old Mrs. Wei was taken aback and looked at him with some concern: "What's wrong with you?" ”

Wei Rui's lips were pale and bloodless, and he knelt on the ground with a puff towards Mrs. Wei, coughed several times before stopping his voice, and tried his best to clear his throat and tell Mrs. Wei: "The clue is broken....."

He closed his eyes, extremely unwilling but unable to do anything: "Miss Seven reminded me to check from Yunnan, I have actually been to the ....... many times before"

Mrs. Wei asked him to go, but unfortunately he couldn't find out anything.

There are many Miao and other foreign races in Yunnan, and it is common for bandits to wander, and the Ming family has already been stamped and concluded that the accident on the way has already been sealed, and the follow-up has already been cleaned up, and Wei Rui returns every time he goes.

started with the governor of Yungui, but the governor of Yungui had already been transferred to Liangguang, and he was in a high position, so he couldn't help it, so Wei Rui went to Yunnan to find clues.

However, because the officials who handled the case at the beginning had already been degraded to death, they did not find anything useful at all.

Until this time, Guardforce reminded him that he didn't have to start with the officials.

"There were so many big and small officials in charge at the beginning, of course, those with grades could be transferred or killed, but what about those such as the master and the small officials? Where can it be so clean......."

Wei Rui remembered what Wei An said at that time: "And the sea of people, how do you know if it is related to the original incident, there is no way, there are records in the file, you might as well do something on it first." ”

He did manage to get his hands and feet out of this, and found someone who knew the old things, when he was a post house man, and he was in the post house that night.

It's a pity that he couldn't ask anything, and something happened.

His home was discovered, he was assassinated that night, and if it weren't for the people around him who were reliable enough to protect him desperately, he wouldn't have come back alive.

Old Lady Wei's expression was cold: "Is it that Yicheng who reported the news, or have you been targeted for a long time?" ”

If it's a post to report the news, it's not so terrible, but if it's been targeted for a long time, it's really scary.

Is it true that the power of the King of Chu has spread to such a terrifying point, or is his people pervasive and no one will let go?

Wei Rui clutched his chest and coughed: "It shouldn't be Yicheng to report the news..... He didn't have that chance......"

Old Mrs. Wei hummed and lowered her head thoughtfully.

In any case, the King of Chu is too stressful.

And he also keeps an eye on the Wei family so closely, if he even knows that Wei Rui went to Yunnan...... So what's next?

Just thinking about it, Mrs. Wei felt a little creepy.

And the King of Chu, who made Mrs. Wei feel creepy, is listening to his eldest son, Chu Jingrui, the son of the King of Chu, at the moment.

Chu Jingrui was much more careful when he was in front of his father than when he was in front of his mother, and he said to him: "The Wei family is also quite bold, and now that the matter in Yunnan is over, they dare to commit crimes against the wind, and they even ran to Yunnan......"

There were seven or eight people sitting in the room, and they all laughed when they heard him.

"It's not ......" Shi Qinchong, the head of the Chu Palace, smiled: "This old lady has been quiet for so many years, and I still think she is dead, but now it seems that people are just raising their minds." The prince ......"

He looked at the King of Chu, who was in the prime of life and was full of spirit, and frowned and said, "Don't underestimate the enemy!" ”

The candlelight in the house flickered, and the face of the King of Chu was hidden in the lamplight, and he couldn't see his expression clearly.
