Wanqing suddenly stopped, stared at Azhen, and blurted out a question: "If something happens to Zi Geng, who is the person who hopes that something happens to her the most?"
Azhen opened her eyes wide in astonishment, looked at Wan Qing, and said blankly: "Who would want to get good things out of the accident of the second young lady? The second young lady is usually timid and never causes trouble or interacts with others. Even if
If something happens to her and she has no power, what benefits can she gain?"
She just vaguely heard Wanqing briefly say something happened to the second lady of the Xian family while washing up when she came back, but Wanqing did not say what happened specifically.
Xian Boteng's footsteps came from outside, and he walked in a little hastily. He looked at Wan Qing and said with some surprise: "The servants said you have something urgent to do with me. Why is it so urgent? Is there anything wrong with Zi Ai's wedding?
Is it? Is someone bullying you? Madam, she——"
"No." Wanqing shook her head first, and then said to A-Zhen, "Go and ask Madam to come over. Just tell her that Wanqing is in a hurry and ask her to discuss a countermeasure with the master. The sooner the better."
Azhen didn't ask any more questions and hurriedly turned around and left.
"Master, something happened." Wanqing ignored the small talk and said directly, "Zijian was taken away by the father-in-law in the palace. He was said to have committed some crime of destroying items in the palace. It was the empress dowager's personal order.
, But, sir, with the condition of Purple Daphne, how can you touch the items related to the palace?"
Xian Boteng didn't understand at first, and stared at Wan Qing for a while, and then he realized what he was doing. He frowned immediately, and after thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of a reason. He said in confusion: "How is this possible? What if it's Zi Ai?"
It's possible that she has a few items in her hand that were rewarded by the palace. That girl Zi Qian never goes out of the door. Sometimes she goes to the shop to embroider some patterns. Those are just samples, and the masters still need to embroider them themselves.
On the items sent to the palace."
"That's right." Wan Qing had a big head and had no clue at all. "Zi Yun is just a little girl who has not yet left the court. She will lose her life wherever she goes. Master, you need to think of an idea quickly."
Just as she was talking, the footsteps of Mrs.
My body is exhausted, why should I listen to Wanqing's arrangements?"
"Okay!" Xian Boteng raised his voice and scolded, "Something happened to Zi Daan!"
"What happened to Zi Xian?!" Mrs. Xian stepped into the door of the study, her face full of astonishment. She didn't care about Xian Boteng's rebuke just now, "What happened to her? Is she dead? Didn't she go to Guan Mansion with Wan Qing?
Have you gone to the banquet? Is Zi Ai okay? Why is there no news from the Guan family?"
"Bah!" Xian Boteng said angrily, "Can you speak human language? She was taken away by the people in the palace. I don't know what the situation is now. However, after entering the palace, even if you don't die, you have to shed your layers.
Pi. Qingqing, what is going on?"
Wanqing then recounted what happened in the Guan family in detail, and then said: "As for the reason, I can't figure it out, so I want to ask the master and his wife if they remember what Zi Daan came into contact with in the palace.
If I can remember the object, I will ask Mr. Xuan or Mr. Guan to come to the palace to intercede for Zi Di, and maybe I can save Zi Di's life."
Although Mrs. Xian was angry that her second daughter, Xian Zigen, had always been stupid, she suddenly heard that something happened to Xian Zigen, and after hearing what Wan Qing said about the situation, she couldn't help but become worried. After thinking about it for a long time, she still frowned and looked confused.
.
"Why don't you ask Xiaochun or Qinyun." Azhen said softly, "One of them is a slave serving the second young lady, and the other is a slave serving the eldest lady. They are both still in the house now."
"Yes, you go and ask them to come over." Xian Boteng nodded immediately.
After a while, Xiaochun and Qinyun rushed to the study together. They didn't know what had happened. They were all panicked. They looked at the master and his wife, whose faces were as dark as water, kneeling on the ground, feeling uneasy in their hearts.
"Does any of you know——" Xian Bo asked loudly.
"Master." Wanqing suddenly stopped him softly, then looked at the two people kneeling on the ground, lowered her voice slightly, and said slowly, "Now something has happened in the house, it involves an item in the palace, you two
Think about it, something was given as a reward from the palace and has been destroyed or is still in the house.”
Wanqing never believed that Zigeng would destroy the items in the palace, so she deliberately blocked Xian Boteng's inquiry, which also made Xian Boteng and Mrs. Xian worry about the interests of the Xian family, reminding them that if something happened to Xian Zigen, the Xian family would not
There are good days to live.
Xiaochun blinked and shook his head.
Qin Yun suddenly looked panicked, her face turned pale, and her body started to tremble slightly.
"Qin Yun!" Xian Boteng immediately noticed Qin Yun's abnormality, his heart trembled, and he raised his voice and said, "What happened? Why are you so panicked? Did something happen to something in the palace?! You...
You do not know how to live or die, please speak up!"
Qin Yun was so frightened that her body kept trembling, and she said with a cry: "I dare not say this."
"Say!" Wanqing looked at Qin Yun and concluded in her heart that the person in the palace should be arrested is Xian Ziai instead of Xian Zijie. "How long has it been? I'm still hiding it. I have to wait until something happens to the Xian family before I will say anything.
?”
"It's the eldest lady, she, she ruined a piece of clothing that the Queen Mother gave to Mrs. Guan, and it's still in the house." Qin Yun said in a trembling voice, not daring to look up at Xian Boteng and Mrs. Xian, "
The eldest lady asked the slave to burn it, but the slave did not dare. It is an object in the palace. Originally, she wanted to wait for the second miss to come back and begged the second miss to come up with an idea. With the second miss’s craftsmanship, it might be possible to repair it.”
Xian Boteng's mind buzzed, and he stared blankly at Qin Yun kneeling on the ground, feeling pain in his chest.
"How are you sure it was Zi Ai who did it, and not that stupid girl Zi Jian?" Mrs. Xian's voice trembled, "How could Zi Ai be so careless?"
Qin Yun whispered: "I saw it accidentally. At that time, the eldest lady gave a bundle to the slave and asked him to burn it quietly. The slave was afraid that the bundle was too big to be burned, so he quietly opened it and looked at it, only to find that it was the bundle.
The clothes, the servant was frightened, so he hid them quietly and did not dare to burn them."
"This ignorant Zi Ai!" Xian Boteng was so angry that his body was shaking, "Why didn't you tell me then? If she had told me, maybe she could have been saved!"
Wanqing was about to speak, but she saw the fear on A-Zhen's face. She felt strange in her heart. Just as she was about to ask, she felt a huge pain in her head, her vision went dark, and she fell softly to the ground. A-Zhen didn't even have time to leave.
He supported her and stared blankly at Mrs. Xian who was standing behind Wan Qing holding a paperweight on the desk.
"You're crazy!" Xian Boteng glared at his wife, "Someone, come quickly!"
