Spring apricots around the palace wall

Chapter 176

He also knew what his mother did. How could he blame others for revenge when he was guilty and owed something?

Yu Chumeng was very surprised, she only knew about those things for two or three years, how could Xia Yong know about them for more than ten years?
Xia Yong explained: "I knew about it when I was a child. I accidentally ran into someone talking to Xia Dingyi. To be exact, it's been nearly 20 years."

He still didn't have the heart to say it, the one "talking" to Xia Dingyi was Yan Qingling.

Yu Chumeng thought to himself, then the past ten years or so have not been easy for him.

"After your mother died, father didn't talk to me very much for half a year. Even if he did, he was very alienated. He blamed me for being cruel, and I blamed him for being affectionate. It took a long time for our relationship between father and daughter to ease."

Xia Yong said "Oh".

He buried his face in the soft pillow and breathed hard.

Yu Chumeng didn't intend to say anything more, and he had to think about the next thing.

When she got up, Xia Yong thought of something, and said: "Don't go to Qiu Ling."

"Ok?"

"She's afraid of you."

Only then did Yu Chumeng remember that she seemed to have committed violence against this future sister-in-law.

She said seriously: "Then why don't I go and apologize to my sister-in-law?"

Everyone should be more polite, and it is not a disadvantage to be condescending, and we will never be able to stay away from each other in the future.

"Farewell, please."

Xia Yong said a little dejectedly: "There's nothing wrong with her, I don't want to put pressure on her."

Yu Chumeng said: "Although she has never liked you, she looks like true love when she came to ask for help. The meal you have endured is worth it, and basically influenced her."

It was only then that Xia Yong remembered that in the eyes of outsiders, he had been infatuated for many years.
-
To avoid disturbing the heart-to-heart talks between the brothers and sisters inside, Ruan Wei asked people to leave the yard, and then ordered Lin Qinzhang to be held accountable fifty times.

Lin Yushi cried and pleaded for mercy.

After all, if these fifty boards go down, Lin Qin, who was spoiled and spoiled, will have to fail at least half of his life.

His howl attracted Xia Qiuling over.

An old friend who once lived in the palace met again after two or three years, Ruan Wei's eyes flashed with amazement for a moment.

This woman, this face, wearing the clothes of an ordinary woman, has a particularly attractive and intimate beauty, which is very down-to-earth.It's much more pleasing to the eye than when she was dressed coquettishly.

"Empress Dowager." Xia Qiuling saluted respectfully.

Ruan Wei was inexplicably dazed, remembering how this girl didn't know how to be polite when she first entered the palace, now even if she left the palace for a long time, even if she didn't treat her harshly later, she still salutes upright, not daring to lose her sense of propriety.

Ruan Wei helped Xia Qiuling up with her own hands, and said in a very kind tone, "There's no need to be too polite."

Probably because this girl had suffered under her and Chu Meng's hands, she was a little timid and didn't dare to raise her eyes.

Ruan Wei held her hand and said, "Chumeng will call you sister-in-law someday, you really don't have to be too polite with us."

Xia Qiuling nodded and said, "There are always rules in front of people."

Yu Chumeng never mentioned Xia Yong, but at Yan Qingling he wanted to put Xia Yong to death, and Chumeng tried his best to stop that time, Ruan Wei found out that Chumeng didn't want Xia Yong to die.

Now that the victim came, Ruan Wei asked her, "Did this Lin Qin offend you?"

Seeing Qiu Ling, Lin Qin seemed to see a savior, and shouted: "Girl, tell the Queen Mother that we knew each other from the beginning! You also let me come to eat noodles often..."

Xia Qiuling looked calm: "I tell every guest that I come here often, isn't this a common thing?"

Lin Qin pointed at her, angry and anxious.

"you you……"

Ruan Wei said lightly: "Thirty boards, let's make a warning to others."

Lin Yushi hurriedly thanked Lin Qin for his kindness. Lin Qin seemed unconvinced and wanted to argue with Xia Qiuling, but Lin Yushi yelled angrily and let him give up.

Fifty is life-threatening, thirty is just heavy punishment, there is a huge difference.It is impossible for the son who has already beaten the prime minister to be punished without any punishment. No matter how the theory is, it is all nonsense.

People dragged to a remote place for execution.

Lin Qin kept wailing, and Lin Yushi wept silently at him in his old age.

Xia Qiuling lowered her head, listening to the muffled sound of the board falling on her body, and hearing Lin Qin's begging for mercy, her expression was gloomy.

Ruan Wei looked at her, her apricot lips parted slightly: "What if Mr. Yu is late, what if Lin Yushi killed Xia Yong instead of beating him violently?"

Xia Qiuling lowered her eyes and said, "Minnv will feel deeply guilty."

Ruan Wei smiled: "Is it very satisfying? Divide two at once."

Xia Yong died in the Lin Mansion, Yu Jichang would never let it go.

Xia Qiuling bit her lips, "Why did the Queen Mother say that? Mr. Xia treats me well, he has some good and two bad, how can I be safe for the rest of my life?"

Ruan Wei was also puzzled.

"Where did he offend you and make you resent so much?"

"How could it be? The Empress Dowager misunderstood," Xia Qiuling said, "Mr. Lin said in a few words, and the crime of death was changed into a crime of life. He did it to save himself. The Empress Dowager should not listen to those things."

There was no flaw in her innocent look.

Ruan Wei said with a smile: "You have been safe and sound for so long, but Xia Yong stayed by your side, and Lin Qin came here to find trouble? Don't say it's a coincidence, I have always believed that things are man-made."

Status, money, beauties, these three are likely to cause bloody disputes between men.Xia Qiuling's beauty is not a sharp weapon.

Xia Qiuling's eyes trembled.

Ruan Wei said: "If Lin Qin is dead, there will be no proof? So I'll save his life, you can figure it out."

Some things are better to be explained by yourself, and it will not look good when they are exposed.

After the execution was over, Lin Yushi helped the crippled Lin Qin Xie En to leave.

Xia Qiuling took the initiative to call "Queen Dowager".

"I really can't bear Mr. Xia to continue living such a miserable life. Only by stimulating him and making him realize that the world is difficult, will he bow his head to Lord Yu and return to Yufu to recognize his ancestors. I am doing it for his own good."

Ruan Wei thought to herself, she had already made it so clear, yet she still talked about such nonsense with her.

For what kind of consideration, let a person be beaten half to death first, almost dying?
Ruan Wei looked at her face carefully, and raised the corners of her lips: "You are well informed. It's only been a few days since Yan Qingling agreed to Xia Yong's recognition of his ancestors, and you planned this?"

Xia Yong didn't intend to enter the palace, so naturally he wouldn't talk about such things with Xia Qiuling, so how did she know about it, and how could she make a fuss about "recognizing the ancestors and returning to the clan"?

Xia Qiuling's jaw tensed.

"There is no impenetrable wall in the world, can't I know?"

Ruan Wei asked again: "When you left the palace, you brought a lot of money and jewelry with you, and you clearly lived a life of luxury and comfort. Why did you sell your face in public after Xia Yong returned to the imperial city?"

Xia Qiuling said: "I like to live a simple life."

The dog didn't believe it.

Xia Qiuling's background is not very good, and she is used to being trampled on her self-esteem. Such a person has a very passionate pursuit of wealth and status.

It's more like she did it on purpose to let someone find her.
