Return of Jin Yi

Chapter 60 I am saving him
When King Lu Xiaojun heard Chu Ci's question, his internal organs were obviously in extreme pain, but he just gritted his teeth and refused to compromise.He looked at her firmly, and said word by word, "No, you are my future concubine... I can touch you as much as I want... It is impossible for my young master not to touch you!"

Hearing what he said, Chu Ci's expression darkened instantly, he glanced at him coldly, and threatened, "Say it again!"

King Lu Xiaojun's bones were hardened once in a while, trembling all over, he said, "Young master, I spit on a nail, you are my wife, I want to touch you, even if you die!" Even more so if you are not dead!

"You deserve it!" Chu Ci was so angry at his tough temper that he immediately took out three more silver needles from the needle bag he was carrying, and stabbed him hard.

King Lu Xiaojun saw her plunge the silver needle into his chest without changing her expression, and his face became livid again. He stared at her and said, "Chu Xiaoci, if you have the ability, you can stab me to death, or I will kill you." As long as I have breath, I will definitely be a real husband and wife with you..."

"You're dreaming!" Chu Ci stared, before he finished speaking, he inserted a silver needle into his abdomen three inches below.

King Lu Xiaojun felt a burst of pain, and the next moment, he rolled his eyes and passed out from the pain.

Chu Ci watched him close his eyes.

Unable to hold back the pent-up anger in his heart, he glared at him viciously again.

Then she turned her head, looked outside the Nuan Pavilion, and called out, "Yunniang, bring the medicine box here!"

Outside, Yunniang agreed, and quickly brought the medicine box over.

Seeing King Lu Xiaojun lying on the Kang with silver needles all over his body, she shuddered subconsciously and looked at Chuci, "Girl, why did you tie Xiaojun King into a hedgehog!"

Chu Ci glanced at Yunniang indifferently, opened the medicine box to get the medicine, and gritted his teeth, "I'm saving him."

Yun Niang: "..." She said she didn't quite understand.

Chu Ci ignored her.

After pulling out all the silver needles on King Lu Xiaojun's body, he opened a bottle of ointment he just took out from the medicine box, poured it on the palm of his hand after warming it up, and wiped off the place where he was pricked by the silver needles little by little.

Yun Niang watched this scene from the side, as if she understood something.

"It turns out that the girl is really treating the injury of the little county king." She sighed with emotion in a low voice.

After Chuci finished applying the medicine, he turned his head and glanced at her lightly, and asked, "Otherwise? Do you think I'm plotting money and murdering my life?"

Yunniang blushed and lowered her head in silence.

Chu Ci turned around to pack the medicine box, and told Yunniang without looking back, "Help him wash up and wait for him to rest."

"Yes, girl!" Yunniang agreed, then turned around and went out to fetch water.

Chu Ci went directly to the outside wing.

When Yunniang waited for King Lu Xiaojun to sleep well, the lights in the wing room were all off, so she had no choice but to go back to her room to rest.

Deer Yard.

The old lady and the Nanjun princess sat on both sides, listening to Lu Zhaohua's personal servant girl report on Lu Zhaohua's current situation.

After the maidservant finished speaking, Princess Nanjun immediately stood up, her face was flushed, she looked at the old lady furiously, and said, "Mother, this Ci is too ignorant! Zhaohua is still a girl who has not left the court, how can she be so clear?" Slap her in the face... If the Qin family finds out, will they still want Zhaohua?"

The old lady did not expect Chuci to do such a face-to-face slap.

A look of embarrassment flashed across her face, and she didn't speak for a long time.

Seeing this, the princess of Nanjun thought that the old lady was looking at Chu Ci, she couldn't help but look at her, and said again, "Mother, don't forget that Zhaohua is your own granddaughter, Aci, even if she is saved Your life is just a granddaughter-in-law..."

The implication is that I hope the old lady can distinguish between relatives and estrangements.

Listening to what she said, the old lady's expression became even more tangled. She sighed and looked at Princess Nanjun helplessly, "Now that things have come to an end, then tell me...you tell us what we should do!"

Princess Nanjun gritted her teeth, "No matter what you do, you must not damage Zhaohua's reputation, otherwise...or else, my daughter-in-law will never get over it for the rest of her life!"

The old lady shook her head, tapped her fingers lightly on the table, and said slowly, "But you agreed to ask Zhaohua to apologize..."

"I... I never thought that Miss Chu would be such a stingy person, she was about to marry into the county prince's mansion, and she would be so mean to her sister-in-law!"

The old lady: "..." It's not right for her to help anyone now.

"Mother!" Seeing that the old lady did not express her opinion, Nanjun Wangfei yelled again and again, her tone was quite unfair, "Are you really going to ruin your own granddaughter's life for the sake of an outsider?"

The old lady was persecuted by her daughter-in-law.

In the end, there was no other way, and at the end, he let out a long sigh and said, "Wait until dawn, as soon as it dawns, I will ask Ah Ci to come over and ask!"

"Mother!" Princess Nanjun only has such a daughter, how can she bear the coldness of early spring, knelt outside all night, and said anxiously, "If you don't want to go, then I will go by myself!" After finishing speaking, she turned around Just go outside.

Don't give the old lady a chance to speak again.

She walked towards Langyueju in three steps at a time.

There were still a few feet away from Langyueju, and I saw Lu Zhaohua kneeling on the bluestone slab from a distance.

Princess Nanjun's heart immediately felt sour and aggrieved.

Her daughter, the apple of her eye, has never touched a single finger of her since she was a child!Chuci, how dare she!How could she bear it!

Cursing like this, she walked faster.

After reaching Lu Zhaohua's side, he immediately called out impatiently, "Zhaohua!"

Hearing his mother's voice, Lu Zhaohua raised his head subconsciously, resisting the pain from his knees, and frowned, "Mother, this is more exposed, why are you here?"

"Mother doesn't worry about you!" Nanjun Wangfei said, and she wanted to help Lu Zhaohua get up.
But Lu Zhaohua refused. She looked at Princess Nanjun resolutely, and said word by word, "Mother, since I agreed to make amends to Miss Chu, I must be punished by her, otherwise what is this!"

Nanjun Wangfei felt sorry for her daughter, and she burst into tears, "But, Zhaohua, if you kneel down like this, your body will be damaged, and if you suffer from the cold again, your life will be ruined! "

"Zhaohua, listen to your mother, go back with mother first, for Chu Ci, mother will give her another explanation, and she will definitely not let her hold grudges against you...you go back with mother first, okay?"

"No, I won't go!" Lu Zhaohua refused without hesitation, "Words must be believed and deeds must be resolute. This is what my grandmother taught me when I first started studying. I can't let my grandmother down... Mother, you go Well, it's only three short days, I will definitely be able to persevere..."

"Zhaohua!" Nanjun Wangfei heard her daughter say this, the tears in her eyes became more violent, and big ones fell down, hitting the back of Lu Zhaohua's hand.

Lu Zhaohua was so hot that he shivered, and he spoke with a choked tone, "Mother, I know you love me, but this time I really did something wrong, and this is the price I should pay... If you really love me, Just let me continue to kneel, otherwise, I will never feel at ease in this life!"

"Zhaohua, Zhaohua..." Princess Nanjun looked at her grown-up daughter, she couldn't say a word, she just called her name over and over again.

Lu Zhaohua didn't explain anything further. She looked directly at the two aunts beside Princess Nanjun and said, "Take my mother back first. Take good care of her these few days and don't let her come here..."

"Yes, miss!" The two aunts responded in a low voice when they heard what Lu Zhaohua said, and then helped Nanjun Wangfei to walk to the main courtyard.

Princess Nanjun didn't want to leave yet, but Lu Zhaohua didn't allow her to stay.

She frowned, and looked at Princess Nanjun with a wry smile, "Mother, are you protecting your shortcomings so unreasonably, do you want your daughter to be unable to hold her head up for the rest of her life?"

"Did you know? In fact, it's not shameful to make mistakes, but it's shameful not to correct them! My daughter is kneeling here today, not only because of Miss Chu, but also because of her grandmother. My daughter also wants to apologize to her grandmother for her narrow-mindedness!"

"I also ask my mother to fulfill my daughter!"

After finishing the last sentence, she kowtowed heavily towards Princess Nanjun.

Princess Nanjun's heart was broken when she heard her nodding her head to the ground. At this moment, she really wished she could bear this pain instead of her daughter.

Lu Zhaohua saw that Nanjun Wangfei still refused to leave, but in desperation, he finally asked, "Mother, if you love me so much, Miss Chu should also love the flesh and blood in her belly like this... Comparing my heart to my heart, if others are almost hurt If he took my life, would Mother just punish that man to kneel for three days and three nights?"

Princess Lu Zhaohua of Nanjun asked back, and replied subconsciously, "Of course not, if someone dares to hurt you, Mother will make him pay with his life!"

"Then... what else do you not understand?"

"..." Princess Nanjun's complexion changed, and she finally understood what Lu Zhaohua meant.

She fixed her eyes on the direction of Langyueju, then closed her eyes, and sighed softly, "Zhaohua, what you said... Mother understands..."

Lu Zhaohua took the opportunity to wink at the two aunts next to him.

The two aunts stepped forward again, and finally took the Nanjun princess away.

Lu Zhaohua, on the other hand, knelt down outside Langyueju all night.

The next day, Chu Ci didn't wake up until the sky was bright.

When she opened her eyes, she met Lu Xiaojun Wang's shining eyes.

"Why are you here?" Chu Ci sat up as quickly as possible, looked at King Lu Xiaojun and asked.

King Lu Xiaojun ignored her question, but directly raised his hand, holding her shoulder tightly, and said, "You gave me the needle last night, not to harm me, but to save me, right?"

Chu Ci looked at his bright eyes, slowly rolled the black and white eyeballs, raised his eyebrows and said, "...what do you think!"

"Young master already knows that you won't have the heart to harm young master!" As he said that, he tilted his head and kissed Chu Ci's lips.

Chu Ci was once again abrupt by him, and his face turned dark all of a sudden. He glared at him, gritted his teeth and said, "Lu Yifeng, do you want to die!"

King Lu Xiaojun smiled happily, stared at her deeply, and said, "Master, I want to drown in your dimple!"

Chu Ci: "..."

Just when she couldn't hold back her fist that was about to move, and was about to give another fatal blow to a shameless kid in front of her.

Outside, Yunniang hurried in, and said nonchalantly, "Girl, girl, it's not good, Missy fainted..."

"Have passed out?" Chu Ci frowned, and after a while, looked at King Lu Xiaojun again, and said lightly, "Your sister has passed out..."

A look of worry flashed across Lu Xiaojun Wang's eyes, and then, he looked at Chu Ci with embarrassment, moved his lips, and said, "You rest first, I'll take her back to Mingxinyuan... the rest of the punishment, If you are willing, then let me take her place, if you are not willing, then wait until she recovers before kneeling!" After finishing speaking, she turned around and walked outside.

Chu Ci watched him stride away.

Think about the words he dropped.

His heart couldn't help but soften... He really cared about her, no matter what he did, he would consider her opinion and discuss it with her.

"Yunniang, go out and let the little princess bring the eldest lady here!"

Upon hearing this, Yunniang gave Chu Ci a complicated look, then turned and walked outside.

Not long after, she came back again, but alone.

"Have they left?" Chu Ci sat down on the couch and asked indifferently.

Yun Niang nodded, "The King Xiaojun said, let the girl rest well, and he will come back to see the girl."

Chu Ci nodded, paused, and said again, "Serve me to take a bath and change clothes, the old lady of Luyouyuan should let me have breakfast."

Yunniang said "hmm".

Sure enough, as soon as the two of them finished packing their front feet, Bi Xin who was next to the old lady came to the door on the back feet, and took Chu Ci over.

Chuci knew that the matter of Banxia and the second wife would definitely be resolved today, so he didn't shirk it, agreed, and followed Bixin to Luyouyuan.

Luyou Courtyard, Nuan Pavilion.

When Chu Ci entered, the old lady was the only one in the room, and there were several delicate breakfasts on the table in front of her.

Hearing the sound of the flapping of the door curtain, she subconsciously looked sideways.

Seeing that it was Chu Ci, a faint smile flashed across her old and tired face, "Ah Ci is here... Come quickly, grandma has been waiting for you!"

Hearing this, Chu Ci walked towards the old lady with a faint smile.

After arriving at her side, he performed a blessing ceremony respectfully.

The old lady looked at her complicatedly, with a lot of content in her eyes.After a while, she was allowed to sit down to eat.

Chu Ci got up late, so breakfast was useless.

Hearing what the old lady said, she was not polite, and immediately sat down on the drum stool.

After breakfast, I ate in silence.

About two quarters of an hour later, the two put down their chopsticks one after another.

The old lady knew that Chu Ci was ready to eat, she waved her hand, and someone came forward to take the dining table out, and then there was a maidservant to serve the two of them to wash their mouths.

After rinsing her mouth, the old lady sighed, and finally looked at Chu Ci and said, "What happened last night... It's all because of the lack of strict family education in the county prince's mansion, which made you troubled, Ah Ci..."

Hearing the words, Chu Ci frowned slightly, paused for a moment, and said slowly, "I brought Banxia into the county palace. If she really caused this incident, then I can't absolve myself of the blame."

"Ban Xia... that girl, she has already been killed by the second wife!"

"I know!" Chu Ci nodded. She looked into the eyes of the old lady and said word by word, "I just want one piece of evidence now, the evidence that Banxia seduced the second master and the second young master at the same time. If the evidence is conclusive, then I have no It can be said... If the evidence is insufficient, then I will always seek justice for the person I brought!"

"Several maids in the second room can prove that Ban Xia often went in and out of the second room's yard before the incident, and had a close relationship with An'er." The old lady said, winking at Bi Xin.

Bi Xin went out, and not long after, she brought in four maidservants.

Chu Ci glanced at the faces of Erfang.

"It's you who testify that Ban Xia and the Second Young Master have a close relationship?" She frowned and asked lightly.

After saying that, the four maids nodded at the same time, "Yes, the servants dare not lie to the old lady and Miss Chu!"

"Then tell me, what is the super secret method?" Chu Ci asked again.

The four maidservants looked at each other, and then started to reply from the first one——

"My servant saw that Ban Xia often went to the Second Young Master's courtyard during his lifetime."

"My servant went to the study to deliver tea, and I saw Ban Xia nestled in the arms of the second young master..."

"The servant cleaned up the second young master's bedroom and found a sachet with the word Pinellia embroidered on it."

……

Each of the four has their own evidence.

Chu Ci's eyes froze, and after a while, he asked the third maidservant who answered, "Then what color is that sachet, what pattern is it embroidered on, and what stitching method is it?"

The servant girl trembled when she heard the words, and after contemplating for a while, she said, "Then...the sachet is, is blue color, embroidered is, is acacia flowers, and the stitching method...is, is a cross stitch..."

"Okay!" Chu Ci nodded, then turned to look at Yun Niang, and ordered, "Go, help me invite the second young master over, remember, please go and invite me in person!"

"Yes, girl!" Yunniang saw Chu Ci's meaning, agreed, and walked outside...

In the Nuan Pavilion, the old lady frowned and looked at Chu Ci secretly, without saying a word for a while.

Chu Ci didn't speak any more.

After a quarter of an hour, the second son Lu Zhaoan walked into the Nuan Pavilion.

"Grandson has met grandmother and Miss Chu." With a tinge of crows in his eyes, he stepped forward to salute the old lady and Chu Ci.

The old lady felt sorry for her grandson, looked at him comfortingly, and said softly, "Aci...she has a few questions for you, An'er, you can answer them truthfully!"

Hearing this, Lu Zhaoan looked at Chuci again, cupped his hands, and said, "I don't know what Miss Chu wants to ask Zhaoan."

Chu Ci smiled, and pointed to the four maidservants opposite him, "I heard from some sisters that the Second Young Master was bewitched by my maid Banxia, ​​and had a close relationship with her... That's why he offended the father and son. Big mistake of Jumao."

"To be honest, it is precisely because of... Banxia's bewitchment that..." Lu Zhaoan said cryptically, but the meaning of shirking responsibility is very obvious.

Chu Ci remained calm, "Several sisters also said that Ban Xia once gave you a token of love... I don't know if the token is still there for the second son?"

"This... I made a big mistake yesterday, and I'm depressed. I have burned all her things."

"Burn it?" Chu Ci smiled slightly, "Second Young Master should remember clearly what that thing is?"

"Yes...is it very clear?"

"what is that?"

Lu Zhaoan subconsciously looked at the four maidservants opposite Chuci, and after a long silence, slowly spit out the word "purse".

Chu Ci smiled, "It's a purse, so I don't know, what are the patterns on the purse?"

"Yes, it's mandarin ducks playing in the water." Lu Zhaoan didn't know, he could only be confused.

The smile in Chu Ci's eyes deepened, "What about the acupuncture method? The second son should have an impression, right?"

"Is it...Pingjin method?" There was a bit of uncertainty in his voice.

Chu Ci listened, curled his lips coldly, clapped his hands hard on the desk, and said angrily, "It's nonsense, Ban Xia was born in the countryside, and her father was a quack doctor. She has never learned embroidery at all for so many years. The only accessory is the money bag, with the word Yu embroidered on it, which is her surname, the pattern is double gold jade, and the stitching method is cross-stitching! You one by one...you are talking nonsense at the door, what are you hiding!"

She shouted loudly, the four maidservants and Lu Zhaoan were startled, and fell to their knees at the same time with a plop.

There was cold sweat falling on his forehead.

Chu Ci ignored them, but instead looked at the old lady, with the corners of her lips curled up slightly, with a sarcasm on her face, "All night long, the old lady just let them collude and fool me?"

The old lady did not expect that things would develop to this point.

She looked at Lu Zhaoan with hatred, patted the table and said, "An'er, what's going on? You and your father, you and that Banxia...what's going on!"

Lu Zhaoan pursed his lips tightly and knelt there without saying a word.

Chu Ci still looked at the old lady, and after a slight pause, he said word by word, "For the sake of taking care of me these days, I will give you another day. After one day, if you still can't find anything , then don’t blame me for being ruthless, we’ll see you in court then!”

After speaking, she got up and left.

The old lady sat there with her eyes straightened, and she didn't slow down at all...

Chu Ci left Luyou Courtyard and walked straight to the courtyard in the side room.

Yun Niang followed behind her and asked with a serious face, "Girl, where are you going now?"

"Take Pinellia back to Langyueju!" Chu Ci said with a cold face.

Yun Niang sniffled and said nothing.

The two hurried all the way, and soon arrived at Mingde Courtyard where the second room was located.

At this time, the door of Mingde Courtyard is closed, and there is not even a gatekeeper.

Yunniang stepped forward and called for the door for a long time before someone came to open the door.

Seeing that it was Chu Ci and Yun Niang who came, the gatekeeper saluted lazily and was about to leave.

When he turned around, Chu Ci hurriedly stopped him and asked, "Where is Ban Xia's body?"

"It's been thrown into a mass grave outside the city!" the guard at the gate said casually.

When Chu Ci heard it, his expression turned cold instantly.

Fist, tightly clenched.

……

The people in the second room disposed of Banxia's body so quickly, if they said there was nothing wrong with it, they wouldn't believe it even if they killed her.

With that in mind, she turned around and walked out.

She must find Ban Xia's body as soon as possible!Otherwise... I'm afraid many truths will be covered up.

Walking all the way to the gate of the Prince's Mansion, unexpectedly, he ran into Prince Lu Xiao who was going to Langyueju on the way.

When King Lu Xiaojun saw Chu Ci, he rushed up to meet her, grabbed her hand, and said anxiously, "Chu Xiaoci, I was going to find you, why are you here?"

"I want to leave the mansion and go to the mass grave in the west of the city!"

"Mass Burial Mound, what did you go to Mass Burial Mound for?" Lu Xiaojun Wang changed his face and asked sharply.

Chu Ci frowned tightly, and said in a low voice, "Ban Xia will be with me in the end, I can't let her die in the mountains... I want to pick her back! By the way, find out the real cause of her death and give her justice. "
