Aunt Gu thought for a while, nodded and said, "I don't think it's the case, but now I can help her a little, which is better than doing nothing at all."

As he spoke, he arrived at the lake. From a distance, he saw something floating in the lake. Aunt Gu said: "I think this must be the kite. It is really beautiful and eye-catching. No wonder the two children want to catch it. Today

There is no wind and the lake is calm and waveless. This kite shouldn't have flown far. Come on, let's go and catch it."

Vanilla hurriedly said: "Why should we do it? Just find a woman to go down and fish it out."

Aunt Gu said: "Have you not heard? There was no one around the two children when they fell into the water. They were clearly told to go down and fish them out. I don't trust them."

"Then I'll go down and my aunt will watch from the shore."

Vanilla had no choice but to try her best to dissuade Aunt Gu. She quickly took off her shoes and socks, rolled up her trouser legs, and then slowly walked into the water.

"Slow down, be careful of slippery feet."

Aunt Gu gave instructions on the shore, and Xianghua casually agreed: "I understand."

Before she finished speaking, she saw her body sway, and then she fell into the water with a "dong" sound, causing a splash of water on the boss.

"Why are you so careless?"

Aunt Gu was startled when she saw Vanilla crawling out of the water in a panic. She said angrily: "Something's wrong. I've been very careful, but my feet are too slippery. Wait a minute, let me see what's in these rocks."

It’s so slippery.”

"Then hurry up and come up after reading. In this weather, getting wet is no fun."

"Yes, I understand."

As Vanilla spoke, she bent down, resisting the coldness in her body and looked closely. Soon, she found a clue. She stretched out her hand to lift a stone, showed it to Aunt Gu, and shouted: "Auntie, look, in this water

Several stones have green hair on them, no wonder they are slippery."

"What green hair? That's moss. It's strange that the road is so slippery."

Aunt Gu stepped forward, and Vanilla waded over and handed the stone to her while hugging herself tightly.

Here Gu Auntie stretched her neck and looked into the water again, and asked: "You said there are several moss stones under the water, right?"

"Yes, I didn't see it when I first got into the water. After I slipped, I bent down and looked. I was too cold and didn't take a closer look. Anyway, there are always a few pieces."

"That's enough."

Aunt Gu pulled Vanilla up and said to her: "Go back quickly, wipe yourself clean, change into thick clothes, and make some ginger syrup to drink. Wait until I get back."

"Where are you going, aunt?"

Vanilla asked tremblingly, and saw Aunt Gu turn around and hurried away, saying at the same time: "I'll go to Sister Xin's place and show this to her."

Vanilla wanted to follow him, but she couldn't stand the cold anymore, so she had to stamp her feet, hug her body tightly and run towards her yard.

Here, Aunt Gu returned to the Qingliang Courtyard with the stones. She saw Aunt Feng and Aunt Qiu in Xin Nian's house. She was chatting with Aunt Qin and her daughter. When they saw her, they frowned and twisted their heads at the same time.

Turn away.

Aunt Gu ignored them and came directly to Xin Nian. She first said politely to the old woman standing opposite: "Why did you bother Aunt Chen to come here? It can be seen that our ancestors love the Sixth Young Master and the Fourth Young Master."

Grandma Chen nodded and said with a smile: "Yes. Our ancestors knew the news and were extremely anxious. After hearing what the imperial doctor had said, they sent me to deliver something. Are you in such a hurry...what's the matter?"

Aunt Gu hurriedly said: "It's nothing serious. After I left here just now, I was thinking of going to the lake for a walk. Sure enough, I saw a kite and asked me to go down to fish for vanilla. Unexpectedly, the girl was so careful that she slipped and fell. Look carefully.

I went there and found that the stones in the lake were covered with moss. I thought about coming over and talking to Sister Xin to see if it needed to be cleaned up. Before that, we can no longer let the children play at the lake."

"Oh? Is this happening?"

Aunt Chen looked at her calmly and said calmly: "Such a big event happened in the house this year. I have been really busy and tired for a while. Maybe some of the servants have slacked off and did not clean up the stones by the lake. This pair of children is

The most dangerous."

"Who says it isn't?"

When Aunt Gu saw Xin Nian reaching out, she handed the stone to her, and then said: "I have to go back and take a look at the herbs. By the way, I asked Yu Chen not to go to the lake to play. By the way, are the Sixth Young Master and the Fourth Miss okay?

?”

"It's okay for now, sister, don't worry, you can go back quickly."

Xin Nian got up and walked Aunt Gu to the door and watched her go. She stood by the door and was lost in thought for a while, when she saw Aunt Feng, Aunt Qiu and Aunt Chen coming to say goodbye.

Soon there was no one else in the room, so Xinghua stepped forward, looked at the stone carefully and said, "The stones by our lake have always been clean, and most of them are fine pebbles. Why did there suddenly appear such a large stone?

Moss is still growing on it? Someone clearly put it there deliberately to harm the sixth young master and the fourth girl."

Xin Nian nodded and said in a deep voice: "Aunt Gu is a smart person. Originally, I wanted to go to the lake for a visit, but I couldn't get away. Now she has solved a mystery for me."

After saying that, he said to Chunyu: "Go to the place where Yaya and Liuzai fell into the water and fish out the kite."

"yes."

Chunyu also left. Here Xinghua poured a cup of hot tea, handed it to Xin Nian, and said softly: "Aunt Gu came at a good time, and Grandma Chen happened to be there too. The only thing to worry about is that the prince is not in the house. Just because

My ancestors may not be able to subdue the concubine and grandma."

Xin Nian tilted his body on the couch, gently rubbing his temples with his fingers, and muttered: "The most important thing at the moment is Liu Zai and Yaya's wind and cold. We will talk about other things in two days. Before leaving, the prince and I

When I was chatting, I said that when I come back this time, before the Chinese New Year, I want to make my grandma a concubine."

"Concubine? The prince is not a prince. In our Great Xia Dynasty, people who are not princes are crowned kings. I have never heard of a concubine."

Xin Nian sneered and said: "Isn't the prince's situation special? Grandma is an ordinary wife, not to mention there are people in the palace who want to be made a concubine. However, it is easy to do. As long as the prince writes a letter, it can be approved immediately."

"What my aunt means..."

Xinghua's heart skipped a beat when she saw Xin Nian saying expressionlessly: "I just said something casually. What does it mean? What can I mean? These things all depend on what the prince wants."

Xinghua:……

In less than half a day, the news that the sixth young master and the fourth girl fell into the water had spread throughout the whole government.

Mrs. Liao first heard the news from the girls, and while she was there gloating over the misfortune, Aunt Qiu and Aunt Feng came over and told her what they had seen and heard in Qingliangyuan.

This surprise was no small matter. Ms. Liao, who had been lying on the couch, suddenly sat up and lost her voice: "Do you mean that the two children who fell into the water were deliberately murdered?"

"Yes...yes."

Aunt Qiu and Aunt Feng originally thought that this matter had something to do with Mr. Liao, but now they saw that she didn't look fake, and they were frightened, and thought to themselves: If grandma hadn't done this, who else could it have been?
