It's just that they have been dealing with water for many years, but tonight they always feel that the water is different.
"Sisters, do you think this water is a little too clean?"
"I feel the same way! The water looks so clear! There are no other impurities in such a big tank of water."
"Then who knows, what if the water has been left for a long time and the dirty things have sunk to the bottom? Stop thinking about it and turn up the fire quickly. Didn't you see that our little lady is so hungry that she is eating milk cakes!"
"That's right! Make it early today! Cut out the soaked konjac jelly. I've finished the last bit and cut it up for the little lady to eat."
The kitchen became very busy.
The Jiang family members also returned home one after another.
Jiang Qi finally arrived home, and it was almost time to eat.
There are many Jiang family members, and those who come back early will usually go to the dining room to wait.
My family is not very particular about eating. Men and women sit together at one big table, and if there is no room for it, there is another mahogany table.
There are many Jiang family members, so every day's meal is treated like a banquet, and the main focus is fun.
Yun Niang has not yet given birth, but after she recovers, it will be no problem to come over for dinner. She seems to be in good spirits and in good health.
Mrs. Jiang nodded repeatedly: "As long as you recover, it will be simmered with ginseng and chicken soup later. You should eat more of the good ginseng collected from your fifth brother Baicaoyuan!"
Yun Niang nodded: "Okay, Mom." She was very touched that her mother-in-law was so kind.
However, Yun Niang was very curious and wanted to see Fubao's space. Last time, her husband came back and dictated it to her. At that time, her health was not good. So, all the Jiang family members went to see it, but she did not go.
After hearing what her husband said about how nice the space was, Yun Niang was very curious.
After a while, everyone was waiting for the half-full Fu Bao brought by the nanny. Jiang Qi also came in at about the same time, so he simply picked up the nanny and put it on his lap.
Fu Bao was so happy: "Uncle!"
"Hey." Jiang Qi responded, holding Fu Bao and sitting next to Wen Niang.
Wen Niang hit him and said, "You just came back. Have you cleaned your hands before going to hug Fu Bao?"
"I'm clean." Jiang Qi held Fu Bao in his arms and talked about today's events, "...Eunuch Xie is dead."
Everyone in the house was shocked.
Mrs. Jiang said calmly: "What is the crime?"
Jiang Qidao: "Murder, the imperial edict should be issued tonight, telling the world that the assassination assassination on the fifteenth night before was done by Eunuch Xie."
Regardless of whether this assassin was sent by Eunuch Xie or not, even if he wasn't, sometimes the emperor had to let him be.
Mrs. Jiang closed her eyes, said nothing, and twisted the beads in her hand.
Mrs. Xie said, "I have only heard of Eunuch Xie being mentioned in Donglin. I heard that he is also a famous person in front of His Majesty. How could he do such a thing?"
Jiang Qi knew a lot of information, so he could only lower his voice and look at Mrs. Xie: "Old Madam, this junior is also revealing it to you alone at this time. You must keep it secret and be careful."
Mrs. Xie's heart tightened as soon as she heard this. She looked around and saw that all the Jiang family members were trustworthy.
She asked hurriedly: "What's going on?"
Jiang Qidao: "For Eunuch Xie, Dali Temple has obtained the evidence and used torture to extract a confession... He is actually a branch of the Xie family in Donglin, and he has a close relationship with you."
Mrs. Xie took a breath of air. A descendant of the Xie family became a father-in-law? And he had the audacity to assassinate the emperor!?
No wonder Jiang Qi told her to pay more attention!
She is in the imperial city. If the emperor is unhappy or she accidentally gets involved, it is possible!
Jiang Qicue said: "Don't be anxious now. The Xie family has been separated for a long time, and there are countless branches. It is said that Eunuch Xie is already a very distant bloodline. He was exiled by everyone in the family, but Eunuch Xie somehow managed to escape.
He also sneaked into the palace, with the purpose of disrupting the palace and avenging the Xie family..."
Mrs. Xie listened, the more she listened, the more frightened she became. She vaguely remembered something and nodded, "Indeed, the family was separated when they were young, and later I heard that a branch of the Xie family was exiled. It's just that
At that time, the uncles and brothers were at odds with each other everywhere, and they were really powerless. Later, there was no news about the side branch, so I stopped paying attention... Who knew that something like this would happen? This Eunuch Xie is really audacious!"
At this time, the eighth brother Jiang Li also came back. He listened to the words of his elder brother Jiang Qi, so it was not surprising.
He also has some news here. The first one is that Su Ho is indeed usable as she said.
The other article was about the investigation of Eunuch Xie. He revealed something appropriately, "I heard that Eunuch Xie will be asked to be executed at midnight as soon as possible."
Everyone knew how taboo the emperor was about this matter.
I couldn't even wait for the sun to set at noon on the second day, but I had to be killed at night.
Jiang Li added: "I think the fact that Eunuch Xie is a descendant of the Xie family is most likely true, but this evidence..." He swallowed the rest of his words and glanced at his eldest brother Jiang Qi.
Jiang Qi understood this and secretly said that this evidence was "actively" exposed. In other words, someone must be secretly manipulating it to put Eunuch Xie to death... Thinking of Eunuch Xie's previous frame-up of the prince, Jiang Qi deduced that
Eighty-nine times it was the prince's fault.
It is impossible to say that the prince already knew Eunuch Xie's life experience before Eunuch Xie took action on the fifteenth night, and then took the initiative to walk into Eunuch Xie's ambush and kill Eunuch Xie completely.
If it is true, then this little prince, who is only eight years old, is really something to be wary of and keep hidden.
Jiang Li added: "Who saved Eunuch Xie back then, and he still refuses to say anything now. Dali Temple can't ask, and His Majesty can't wait. It seems that the question of who saved Eunuch Xie can only be a question."
It’s an unsolved case.”
Mrs. Xie thought about it again and again, and said solemnly: "Now that this has happened... I'm afraid it wouldn't be appropriate to stay any longer. I originally wanted to celebrate the New Year together. I'm afraid of dragging you down. After Wu Lang's wedding banquet, we will go back to the East.
Forest."
Mrs. Jiang deliberately advised her, "After all, you are my in-laws, and you and Nao Shizi's father-in-law have not been in the same room for a long time, so there is no need to be so cautious..."
"No, no, no, who can say for sure what happens in this world?" Madam Xie insisted, "The best way is for us to go back."
She was able to carry it cleanly, and now she wanted to go back even if she was reluctant to part with her eldest daughter and the stone, so as not to make the emperor jealous and cause trouble, which would be bad.
Xie Yan secretly glanced at Jiang Shou and saw that the other person looked like a piece of wood and was very depressed. He quickly said, "Yes, mother is right. We'd better go back first."
Mrs. Jiang thought about it and said, "It just so happens...Mr. Shi Kangning has quit his job of teaching Master, and his health is getting better. The Shi family and his son also plan to return to Donglin, and you will be accompanied back and forth."
Fu Bao was stunned: "What? Master is leaving? Why didn't I know?"
There were too many considerations in this, and Mrs. Jiang couldn't tell Fubao everything. She didn't tell Fubao the rules of the conspiracy, she just said: "Fubao, Mr. Shi is old and in poor health, and wants to return to his hometown.
, when the time comes, prepare gifts to see him off."
Fu Bao remembered that Mr. Shi had been sleepy and poisoned before... Her clever little mind thought that there must be something fishy in this, but since her grandmother said so, Fu Bao was also a good boy until she did as she was told.
Although parting was a bit sad, Fu Bao still nodded and said: "Okay, Fu Bao knows about grandma."
