After stealing the divorce book, Princess Salted Fish fell off her horse

Chapter 830

Ruan Xinlian didn't believe it.

Mu Manqi, the young lady, is not in a better position now than before.

Her father committed a crime and became a criminal prisoner from the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. Not only that, he was also tortured in public, and the Mu family was ruined long ago.

Mu Manqi has also learned to keep a low profile in the Dingyuan Hou Mansion.

What did she do with Xiaobao, a bastard?
However, with Mu Manqi's current status, it is possible for Mu Manqi to attack Xiaobao if she wants to curry favor with Qin Xuran or Madam Hou Liu.

After all, the existence of her and Xiaobao was a resounding slap to Liu Shi.

Liu Shi hated her, hated Xiaobao, she knew it well, and because she knew it, she lived in seclusion.

Xiaobao can't die in vain, she doesn't care what Dingyuanhou's mansion, no matter what Dingyuanhou, anyone or anything in this world is not as important as her Xiaobao.

If someone wanted her little treasure to die, she would have to avenge him even if she tried her best.

But how to take revenge?Ruan Xinlian didn't know what to do.

She is just a concubine, and has no chance to go out, nor to meet Qin Xuran, Marquis of Dingyuan.

She went to see the old lady.

Mrs. Qin naturally knew about Xiaobao.

However, she doesn't like this grandson and doesn't care about him.

Although it is his son's flesh and blood, he was raised in the countryside since he was a child. He is so stupid that he can't even compare to Qin Xuran's hair.

Ruan Xinlian's presence only made Mrs. Qin disgusted for a while, although Ruan Xinlian has been thinking about it every morning and evening since she entered the Dingyuanhou's mansion, but the arrival of this woman almost killed his son, how could she like it.

She said coldly: "Children are naughty and accidentally fall into the water. Everyone thinks about it. Don't keep pestering me. Do you still want to disturb the house because of an accident?"

Ruan Xinlian looked at the old lady's indifferent eyes, and she understood.

The entire Dingyuan Hou's Mansion is a place that cannibalizes people without spitting out their bones. It is indifferent, ruthless, secretive, and terrifying!
How could her little treasure grow up safely in this cold place?

Ruan Xinlian is not a weak person, the reason why she is so low-key and silent in Dingyuan Hou's Mansion is also her cleverness, she just wants a place to settle down and not live a life of being hunted down.Otherwise, it would be impossible for her to escape home, give birth to Xiaobao, bring Xiaobao to the capital directly, and make such a fuss outside the Hou's mansion. own purpose.

Going back to the small courtyard where she lived, she wept silently.

Until, a rough envoy from the side courtyard stood in front of her.

Ruan Xinlian was taken aback. This is the inner courtyard. When the rough envoy usually comes, there are a large group of people there. He brings people to work, and he leaves quickly after finishing the work. Although he has seen it before, he has never seen it before. I said a word.

She raised her tearful eyes: "You What are you doing?"

The rough envoy sneered slightly: "The son I regarded as a treasure was killed by someone, and now you care about yourself?"

There was hatred in Ruan Xinlian's eyes, but more tears welled up. She cried, "What else can I do? What can I do?"

The rough envoy didn't come forward, he had been standing five steps away from him, there were few servants in the side courtyard, and at this time, none of them were seen.

He said, "Do you want to avenge your son?"

Ruan Xinlian suddenly raised her head: "Think!"

The rough envoy said: "Think right, if your son dies and doesn't want to take revenge, then you don't need to live in this world."

Ruan Xinlian's eyes were dim with tears, what she wanted was not these, what she wanted was a solution.

Then the steward said: "I'm afraid you have forgotten that you are a good concubine, not a cheap concubine!"

Ruan Xinlian didn't understand.

The rough envoy sighed, this woman has little knowledge, she doesn't even know what he meant.He had no choice but to explain: "If the concubine dies, just find a place to bury the matter. The people don't care about it, and the officials don't investigate, because the status of the concubine is low, and even the life of the concubine belongs to the master's family. No, a good concubine is a woman from a good family, if she dies, the government will hold her accountable! And you, a good concubine, are different from other good concubines!"

Not only is she a good housewife, but also there are many twists and turns in becoming the concubine of Marquis Dingyuan, which is known to many people.

Ruan Xinlian said in a daze: "But, I have no relatives or cause, if I die, I will have no one to suffer!"

How can the government pursue it if no one files a first complaint?
The steward took a look at her, um, she wasn't stupid.

He said sternly: "Why are you so helpless? Your cousin came to Beijing to visit you a few days ago. Don't worry, if something happens to you, as a relative, he will definitely not just sit idly by!"

Ruan Xinlian cried and laughed.

Her little treasure died, and she didn't want to live anyway.

The rough envoy took another look at her and reminded: "If you commit suicide, there is no way to ask for help!"

Ruan nodded with tears in his heart.

She didn't know who the person in charge was, and she didn't know why he came to say these things to herself, but there was nothing she could do.Xiaobao can't die in vain, no matter what the person in charge says is true or not, she will try it.

It's nothing more than a life.

Without Xiaobao, her life has no meaning in existence.

On the third day after Xiaobao's death, Qin Muzhao stepped into this courtyard for the first time.

Little Treasure died young, and Qin Muzhao didn't even take a look at his body, so he asked the housekeeper to get a coffin, dragged it out of the city and buried it.

Walking into this small courtyard, looking at Ruan Xinlian who had lost weight and stared blankly, Qin Muzhao said: "People cannot be brought back to life after death. That child likes to run around when nothing happens. Now that something happened, no one can blame you, and neither should you." So sad!"

With a light sentence, a person's death was exposed.

Ruan Xinlian looked at him in tears: "Master Hou, have you never regarded Xiaobao as your son?"

Qin Muzhao: "..."

Do you still need to ask?How could he take a wild child who grew up in the countryside and didn't know how to salute him so stupidly as his son?
He frowned: "What are you talking about?"

Ruan Xinlian smiled softly, with tears in her eyes and a smile, she looked a little creepy: "Master Hou, back then, you officials snatched me away, took my innocence, and wanted us I worked so hard to give birth to Xiaobao, even if you don’t like him, he is still your son, so you really don’t care about his death? Don’t you know he was killed?”

"Presumptuous!" Qin Muzhao was furious. What annoyed him the most was this. Qin Zhizheng's success was more than failure, and he couldn't even clean up the whole thing.

He naturally knew that there was something wrong with Xiaobao's death, but firstly, this was not the son he wanted in the first place, and secondly, it also reminded him of the incident that was left out of his carelessness at the beginning; thirdly, he had Qin Xuran, if this little son Bao is clever and smart, so he would pay more attention to it, but he is a fool, how could he take it seriously?
The ones who did it were nothing more than the Liu family or people from the Liu family. Because of Ruan Xinlian's matter, he and the Liu family were a little estranged.The father and brother behind the Liu family are court officials, so what is Ruan Xinlian?
Could it be that he wanted to find Liu's bad luck for his son Xiaobao?

Ruan Xinlian raised her face and said with a sad smile: "Master Hou, I know you don't like me, and you don't even want to see me. But, don't forget, I brought Xiaobao to find you, everyone in the capital knows!"

"So?" Qin Muzhao sneered, this woman was so courageous that she even dared to speak to him like this.

"So Lord Hou had better check it out, otherwise, I will check it myself!"

Qin Muzhao snorted, it wasn't that he looked down on Ruan Xinlian, with Ruan Xinlian's methods, she wasn't worthy of lifting the shoes of Liu Shi!It would be nice if she didn't get played to death by Mrs. Liu, what else do you want to find out?

He had no patience in his heart, turned around and left.His mother and Mrs. Liu took care of these matters in the back house. They had always handled them cleanly and in a stable manner, so he wasn't worried at all.

What's on the side of the First Prince is the big deal!

Ruan Xinlian looked at his back, the tears were still wet, but her eyes turned cold.

If Qin Muzhao knew what happened next, he wouldn't let Ruan Xinlian go so easily.

On the third day, he discussed with the eldest prince about appointing a crown prince tomorrow morning, and sent the eldest prince away, with a relaxed smile on his face, and was about to go out to Qingwu Pavilion to relax, when he saw the butler He Dechang stumbling towards him: "It's not good, Lord Hou!"

Qin Muzhao didn't like hearing such words very much, and his face immediately sank: "Speak up, what happened?"

He Dechang has been in the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion for many years, and he has always handled things safely, but now he is panicking like this. Is it because he is getting old and can't be stable?

He Dechang said in a flustered tone: "Madam killed Aunt Ruan!"

Qin Muzhao: "???"

His eyes widened in shock.

He knows Liu Shi very well, she is good at playing tricks with soft knives, does this directly kill people?Where to start?

However, if you kill it, you will kill it, he said: "Clean up, say that Aunt Ruan is sorry for the accidental death of the second young master, she is too sad, go!"

He Dechang did not respond as usual after he ordered, but said: "No, Lord Hou!"

Qin Muzhao frowned: "Why can't you? You can't handle such a trivial matter?"

He Dechang had a bitter expression on his face: "When madam killed Aunt Ruan, she did so in front of others!"

"Is there anyone here? Seal the ones that can be sealed, and deal with the ones that can't. Do you need me to teach you?" Qin Muzhao stared at the butler suspiciously again. ask?
He Dechang's expression became even more bitter, as if he was thinking about how to express his words, he paused for a moment before he said in one breath: "Today, someone from Aunt Ruan's family came and saw with my own eyes that Madam killed Aunt Ruan!"

Qin Muzhao said angrily, "Where did Aunt Ruan's family come from? Why doesn't this Marquis know about this? Who is it?"

He Dechang's lips were bitter, and he said: "The ones who came are the prefect of Puyang Prefecture and Aunt Ruan's cousin."

"What, the magistrate of Puyang is Aunt Ruan's cousin?" Qin Muzhao was stunned.A fifth-rank magistrate is not to be taken seriously, but fifth-rank is also an official of the imperial court!

He Dechang said: "No, it's two people. The magistrate of Puyang wanted to see Lord Hou and even gave him a gift. He probably wanted to use the route of Lord Hou to establish a relationship between Beijing and China. Knowing that Aunt Ruan's cousin came to Beijing to look for him, So they came together, and today they also handed over the post together. Unexpectedly, they all became witnesses!"

Qin Muzhao didn't take it seriously at first, but now he frowned.

As soon as he pushed He Dechang away, he rushed towards Liu's yard.

He Dechang shouted from behind: "Master Hou, we are in Qiushui Hall!" He also hurriedly followed.

Qiushuitang is located between the outer courtyard and the inner courtyard. It is not a remote place, but Qin Muzhao felt that it was very wrong to walk the distance.

How could Liu Shi do something here?Even if she did it, how could she do it herself?Even if she did it herself, she would not do it so blatantly.

Anyuantang is the living room, ordinary guests are all attracted here, and the prefect of Puyang is only worthy to come here.So it's not a problem for He Dechang to lead people here.

Qin Muzhao turned his head abruptly, and said, "When you came here, what did you see?"

Since Puyang prefect and Ruan's cousin saw it, the housekeeper who brought them here naturally also saw it.

He Dechang unconsciously swallowed his saliva to suppress his shock, and then stammered: "Seeing Aunt Ruan's head covered in blood, Madam took a knife and stabbed her in the heart!"

In other words, not only did he do it, but he did it more than once!
The two had already arrived. At this moment, the prefect of Puyang stood at one side with his arms folded. The prefect was in his thirties, neither fat nor thin. The emperor ordered Chu Xinyuan to thoroughly investigate the matter of Qin Zhizheng. The entire Ganyi County was involved in the incident All the officials were scoured to the end, and this one was newly transferred.

The other was a 27-year-old young man, his eyes were blood red, and he stared fiercely at Liu Shi, but Liu Shi was protected by the maids behind him, so he didn't step forward to do anything.

On the ground, Ruan Xinlian's head was bleeding, there were fragments of a porcelain vase on the ground, and a knife was stuck in her heart.

Liu Shi was also obviously frightened, her face was pale, the blood on her hands was not wiped clean, and the weight of her whole body was on the woman beside her, obviously she couldn't even stand still.

The arrival of Qin Muzhao made Liu's eyes light up. She hurriedly stepped forward and said anxiously: "Master, I didn't kill it, it was that bitch Ruan who put the knife in my hand..."

Qin Muzhao's gaze swept across the prefect of Puyang, and then his cousin Ruan.

The prefect of Puyang cupped his hands, and said: "Fan Qingtian, the prefect of Puyang, I have met Lord Qin!"

Qin Muzhao's eyes were deep, and he took a look at him: "You are not in Puyang, what are you doing in Benhou's mansion?"

Fan Qingtian said neither humble nor overbearing: "The next official is the magistrate of Puyang. He is conscientious and conscientious, and the rule is still clear. However, people go to the high places and hear that Zhao Qi under the rule has a cousin who married Lord Hou as a concubine, so he wants to borrow Zhao Qi With this relationship, I can get to know Lord Hou, and maybe I can be taught by Lord Hou in the future, so I will prepare a little gift, and take this opportunity to visit his cousin with Zhao Qi!"

Qin Muzhao: "..."

If it was really to catch up with him and let him talk to him in the future so that he can be transferred to another place or transferred back to the capital, he would not talk like that.

His eyes deepened a bit, and he said, "So what did you see just now?"

Fan Qingtian said respectfully: "Xiaguan and Zhao Qi were brought into the mansion by the butler, and led here. But I didn't expect to turn around the flower tree, and I heard a sound, it was the sound of porcelain breaking, following the sound Looking over, I happened to see the lady on the ground bleeding, and the lady thrust a knife into the chest of the lady on the ground with fierce eyes. Then, she was rushed in and surrounded by maidservants."
