Reborn Concubine Queen

Chapter 248 The Xiao Family Comes (2)

Seeing that Mrs. Xiao's spirit was not quite right, Da Furen sat back guardedly, forced a smile and said, "Girl Qing, tell your aunt quickly, don't make your aunt worry any more."

Shi Yiqing slightly raised his eyes to look at the weeping Mrs. Xiao, thought for a while, then took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, and Mo Wu, who was waiting by his side, brought it to Mrs. Xiao: "Auntie , this handkerchief was embroidered by Xiao Qi before she died, and the blood on it is also hers. Qing'er originally wanted to keep it as a memory, so I will return the original to my aunt today."

Mrs. Xiao stared blankly at Shi Yiqing, saw Mo Wu knelt and presented the towel in front of her, picked up the towel and unfolded it with shaking fingers, saw a pair of crooked ducks embroidered on it, and signed only "" "Under the Moon" four small characters, the blood has dried, it seems to remind Mrs. Xiao, the dead are gone, don't force them to stay.

"This handkerchief, did Xiao Qi give it to you?" Mrs. Xiao asked with a trembling voice.

Shi Yiqing lowered his eyes to cover the complexities in his eyes, and replied in a hoarse voice: "Many years later, an old man found Qing'er and said that this was the oath of the two of them, and asked Qing'er to have a witness for them."

Mrs. Xiao embraced the scarf in her arms with tears all over her face: "Did your old friend ever mention what Qi'er said before leaving?"

"If you go back to your aunt, Xiaoqi went in the arms of the one you love, and walked very peacefully."

Mrs. Xiao cried more and more when she heard this, and cried wantonly for a while holding the towel, leaning on the back of the chair with her limp body and looking at Shi Yiqing: "Shi Yiqing, Shi Yiqing, where is my Xiao family, right? Let’s start, your critical Qi’er died tragically in a different place, if it wasn’t for you, how could my miserable Qi’er have gone so early! It’s really good to say that you are the doom of my Xiao family!”

She held the towel in her hand and sighed regretfully: "Forget it, the deceased is gone, it is useless for me to come to you to pursue these matters, and my Qi'er will never come back."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Xiao said to the eldest lady: "Sister-in-law, I wonder if you can ask me to have a few words with Qing girl alone?"

The eldest lady was eager to leave early, but she put on a troubled look on her face, and after thinking twice, she said: "Forget it, let the two of you talk alone for a while, maybe this knot can be untied. Madam Xiao, what happened? Call me."

After sending the eldest lady out of the main hall of the living room, Mrs. Xiao turned around and sat down again, drinking some tea with a tea bowl in front of her, looking at Shi Yiqing who was still kneeling on the ground and snorted coldly: "Have you ever thought about it, I will meet you today." came to find you?"

Shi Yiqing closed his eyelids, and replied respectfully: "If you go back to aunt, Qing'er has thought about it, aunt will come to Xingshi to ask the crime."

Mrs. Xiao suddenly threw the tea bowl in her hand on the table: "Since you know that I will come to Xingshi to inquire about your crimes, why don't you come to Xiao's house yourself, and ask me to call instead?"

"Auntie, calm down." Shi Yiqing said in a deep voice, "Qing'er has been rumored to be unknown since she was a child, and since she returned to Beijing when she was young, it has disturbed the family's peace. Qing'er knows that she is a disaster for the Shi family. If you can’t lock yourself in your room to chant scriptures and pay homage to the Buddha, and don’t go outside to stir up trouble, how dare you go to the Xiao’s house to make the county magistrate and uncles and aunts sad.”

Mrs. Xiao sneered: "What a set of nonsense, you can use it very easily."

"Qing'er dare not."

"Don't dare? You dare to provoke the deposed prince, what else are you afraid of?"

Shi Yiqing frowned slightly, and asked in puzzlement, "Qing'er doesn't quite understand what my aunt said."

Mrs. Xiao straightened her clothes, and said in a cold voice: "You must know better than anyone how you came back to the capital. Are you familiar with the name Liu Keyun? Who in the Imperial City doesn't know that Liu Keyun is the one who abolished the crown prince. If he hadn't risked his beheading to rescue the deposed prince from the place where he was detained, and went to hide in the false Chu, how successful do you think the deposed prince would be to escape from confinement?"

"What Aunt wants to say, it's better to say it directly. Qing'er has been away from the capital for many years, and I really don't understand the twists and turns here."

Mrs. Xiao sneered and said, "Don't act like you don't understand anything in front of me, but your grandmother and two aunts are okay. I've seen your tricks before."

She paused, took a sip of tea from the tea bowl, and continued: "I came here to tell you who you are related to, and I never thought that I would use Qi'er's life to blackmail you." What, but I believe that even if you reach the sky in one step and become the one under one man and above ten thousand people, you still need me and the Xiao family, don't you?"

"You need the Xiao family, and I need someone who can be of use to me. We both get what we need, and we should help each other." Mrs. Xiao said seductively.

"What does Auntie want from me?"

Mrs. Xiao thought for a while, and said with a smile: "I don't know yet, but sending you to the frontier to get married like this is really overkill. Qing girl, what do you think?"

Shi Yiqing's heart skipped a beat, with a slight smile on his face: "Auntie wants to threaten me?"

"Don't dare, you are the princess now. According to your status, the county master of Yinshan wants to salute you. How dare I threaten you in front of Princess Yuanhe." Mrs. Xiao smiled slyly, "I just want to give you Give me a suggestion, whether to be my friend or my enemy, for you to choose."

Shi Yiqing straightened his back and looked at Mrs. Xiao: "What about being a friend, and what about being an enemy?"

Mrs. Xiao picked up the towel that was thrown aside, and smiled vaguely: "If you and I are friends, I will forget about the fact that you killed Xiao Qi. After all, I am your aunt, and we can be regarded as both prosperous and harmless." It's a loss. If you and I are enemies..."

As she said that, she played with the scarf and smiled bloodily: "I heard that when you were leaving the capital, you arranged a good place and a good family for those girls. Although they are not in the capital, it will take a while to find them." It’s not that you can’t find them, don’t you think it’s my son’s trouble?”

Shi Yiqing gritted his teeth with hatred, and still couldn't show it on his face, and smiled lightly: "Since my aunt thinks highly of Qing'er, Qing'er naturally wants to follow my aunt."

Only then did Mrs. Xiao feel relieved and said with a smile: "This is my good niece. Come on, go to my aunt and ask my aunt to take a good look at her, but she is haggard? I heard from people outside that you have been ill for several days. The doctor was still talking alarmistly, which frightened me a lot.”

When Mrs. Xiao came in, she saw Mrs. Xiao and Shi Yiqing talking happily, and she couldn't help but be surprised. She only thought that Mrs. Xiao would turn against Shi Yiqing behind her back, and never thought that the two would get along well. Like a mother and daughter, it made Da Furen feel more and more unhappy.
