Chapter 636: Qie Qingwen's Random Matchmaking
The carriage ran a long way, and Sun Shaozong looked out to see that there were no pursuers, so he breathed a sigh of relief - it would not be a good idea to perform this trick of pretending to be crazy under the influence of alcohol twice in a short period of time.
By the way, what’s the matter with that long-legged girl ?
Seeing that she seemed to want to say something just now, it was obvious that she had come for me - but I had just returned to Beijing, so I should not have offended the Prince of Beijing's Palace, right?
Could it be that...
Or is it because of what happened to Wei Ruolan?
That’s right!
Come to think of it, I have been back in Beijing for nearly half a month, but I haven't heard any news about Wei Ruolan.
Could it be that Wei Ruolan had already been sentenced to death, so this woman took her anger out on herself, thinking that it was because I watched her die without rescuing her that Wei Ruolan lost her life?
This is really unreasonable!
Although he had not suffered any loss just now and had even pressed Wei to the ground and rubbed her repeatedly, Sun Shaozong was still very unhappy when he saw the sharp arrow on the carport.
When this woman falls into my hands alone someday, I will tear her long legs apart...
I got home madly in anger.
After calling Zhao Zhongji to his side to ask, he realized that he had been thinking wrongly.
It seems that Wei Ruolan is still imprisoned in the Dali Temple Prison, and the right and wrong of his case has never been determined.
So why did Princess Beijing make such a fuss?
etc!
Sun Shaozong suddenly had an idea and thought to himself, could it be that the court wanted him to try the case?
The more I think about it, the more reliable this guess seems. The Zuo Shaoqing of the Dali Temple is mainly responsible for clearing up backlogs of cases and corruption, and incidentally hearing and assisting in the hearing of major cases, or criminal cases involving officials of the sixth rank in Beijing [fifth rank in local areas] and above.
Wei Ruolan's case just happens to meet these three conditions.
The case has been pending for a long time, is serious, and the person involved is a sixth-rank official in Beijing!
Tsk~
If this is true, then Princess Beijing is too stupid. If she wants to save Wei Ruolan's life at this moment, the person she should not offend the most is herself.
But she just blocked them in the street, intending to threaten...
I don’t know whether it is lucky or unfortunate for Wei Ruolan to have such a reckless sister.
After roughly sorting out the cause and effect, Sun Shaozong walked along the corridor back to his own courtyard while pondering on how to deal with Wei Ruolan's case.
When I entered the yard, the first thing I saw was a field of snowmen.
Some were leaning on crutches, some were holding brooms, and some were holding lanterns. In the middle was a man half a person tall, who looked like a general standing on horseback with a sword in hand.
Most of these are Xiangling's work.
It must be said that although she was enlightened a little late, she did have some talent. In the past two years, not only did she make great progress in writing poetry and couplets, but she also made some achievements in playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Just yesterday, Sun Shaozong took the children to make a snowman. She tried to lend a hand, and the next day they made a real snow sculpture.
Although it was far inferior to the works of later Ice and Snow Festival in terms of details, it still won applause from everyone in the hall.
Um……
It's time for her to give up her fight today and just go and give her a reward.
Thinking of this, Sun Shaozong went to the west wing door and called out softly: "Qingwen, Qingwen, quickly fetch the lantern."
But then they heard a rustling noise from inside, and soon the door opened to the left and right, revealing Qingwen's oval face, which was as big as a palm.
She had probably gone to bed already, and in her haste to come out she had not put on her clothes properly, and had only hastily wrapped herself in a cloak. When she held up the lantern, the moon-white undergarments underneath were exposed.
Just by looking at the clear outline of the chest, you can tell that the underwear is very thin.
Sun Shaozong took the lantern from her hand and said, "Go inside and take a rest. I can take care of it myself."
"How can this be done?"
Qingwen declined a few times, but seeing that Sun Shaozong was already busy with the lantern, driving away the evil cold from head to toe, she did not insist and went back into the house quietly.
When Sun Shaozong finished dealing with the matter and entered the living room, he saw her already dressed neatly and waiting at the door. However, this was common sense - when the master returned, it was naturally the maid on night duty who would be responsible for helping her wash and change clothes.
Therefore, Sun Shaozong did not pay much attention to it. He pushed the door and entered the inner room, only to find a mother and a daughter, one big and one small, lying on the bed.
Qingwen came in and explained, "The eldest sister was making a fuss about wanting to see the snowman, and the nurse and I couldn't stop her, so we had to let her sleep in this room."
Yes~
Now, it is difficult to distribute those "comfort supplies".
He wanted to go to Ruan Rong's room, but then he remembered that she seemed to be feeling unwell in the afternoon - probably because she caught a cold when she was making a snowman with her son.
Not to mention You Erjie, she was too intense that day and injured her tendons, and she hasn't recovered yet.
As for the sister-in-law...
There was no signal sent in advance or anything. What if I run into some old woman or maid when I get there? Wouldn't my true identity be revealed?
That's all.
I might as well just take over my daughter's room and spend the night there.
Thinking of this, Sun Shaozong turned around and went to the north room.
But when they went in to take a look, they saw the quilt was spread on the bed, obviously this place had already been occupied by Qingwen.
"Master, wait a moment, I'll clean it up right away!"
Qingwen followed in hurriedly and was about to pick up the mattress and put it back on the soft couch where she often slept when she was on duty at night.
Unexpectedly, Sun Shaozong sat down on the quilt with a big horse and a golden sword, and ordered without question: "Go get a basin of hot water, I want to soak my feet first."
Qingwen immediately froze in front of the bed.
Fetching water to wash feet and so on are things I'm used to doing, but looking at Sun Shaozong's expression, could it be... could it be that he wants me to warm the bed?
He wanted to refuse directly, but he was afraid that he would be too sentimental and would instead stimulate Sun Shaozong to have evil thoughts.
After hesitating for a while, she finally remained silent, holding the copper basin and walked out of the west wing, ready to firmly refuse when Sun Shaozong made unreasonable demands.
only……
Sun Shaozong is not Jia Baoyu who is weak and powerless. If the time really comes, how can it be easy to refuse even if he wants to?
Qingwen absentmindedly went to the small kitchen in the southeast corner and was about to add some hot water before moving slowly back to the west wing.
Suddenly, a person appeared from the side and said with a cautious smile, "My dear Qingwen, would you please think about what I told you yesterday? If you are willing to lend me some money for working capital, I will definitely repay you well in the future."
Qingwen was startled and nearly scalded by the boiling water. Adding to her already anxious mood, she could not help but explode: "Didn't I tell you all along? If you need money, I can still scrape together some, but if Jia Huan needs it, I don't have a penny!"
Although she had broken off her relationship with Jia Baoyu, Qingwen still remembered clearly the hatred of Jia Huan and his mother who had attempted to kill Baoyu and then take his place.
Besides, the reason why Mrs. Wang disliked her was because she was so flustered in those few days that she forgot about the distinction between high and low.
With all this being the case, how could she be willing to lend money to Jia Huan to pay off his debts for prostitution and gambling?
Caixia heard her resolute words, her voice suddenly became tearful, and she said anxiously: "This time we are not kidding! Those creditors are robbers who kill and rob. If they really force them, Third Master... Third Master is all alone, what should we do?!"
She cried miserably, but Qingwen just sneered.
Alone and helpless?
Then isn’t Jia Tanchun his biological sister?
Furthermore, could it be that those robbers who killed and robbed people were forcing him to borrow money?
It was because Jia Huan was so ignorant that he relied on the background of Rongguo Mansion to buy things on credit, which caused him a lot of trouble.
Just when he was about to ignore Caixia and go out with the copper basin, he saw Caixia hurried a few steps, fell to her knees at the door of the small kitchen with a plop, and said with her head on the ground: "Good Qingwen, please be merciful and just save me! I will do anything you ask me to do from now on!"
Such a foolish love, but it was given to the wrong person!
In this case, it would be better to just marry her to a servant... or a maidservant? !
Qingwen was just feeling sad for his misfortune and angry at his lack of fighting spirit, when suddenly an idea flashed through her mind. She bit her lips a few times and asked solemnly, "Are you really willing to do anything to save Jia Huan?"
Caixia thought she was being soft-hearted, so she swore and said she would never give up.
"No good."
Qingwen took the opportunity to push the copper basin into her arms and said with an uncertain expression: "I will show you a clear way!"
