Chapter 296 Get to the bottom of it

Su Yiqing bent her lips and looked very careless, "It's just a few pear trees. It's a bit exaggerating to say that the pear garden is, but is it really a disaster in Longxian?"

Xie was stunned by one sentence, and he couldn't help but turn his inquiring eyes to Kong.

Kong heard something was wrong now, pretending not to see Xie's inquiring eyes, and lowered his head to drink tea. At the banquet that day, Princess Ding had said this, but later she also heard that Xie suddenly came to the house yesterday and insisted on asking what was going on. She thought that several people heard it at the banquet, so she said casually. She really didn't expect that Xie came to the house for this matter. If she really wanted to get to the bottom of it, she was so unwilling to be able to pass the message randomly.

Kong did not respond, and Xie couldn't help but sweat a little on his chubby face.

Su Yiqing said innocently: "That's right. I seemed to have heard someone say that a few days ago. Longxian was hit by a disaster. I said casually at the banquet of the Prince of Riwen County, but everyone said they didn't know, so they thought it was fake. At that time, I said it was heard and could not be true."

Mrs. Meng changed her mind and judged the current situation. She immediately pretended to be a face of a stern mother and said solemnly: "Fu'er, how can you talk nonsense about this kind of thing? My mother has not taught you. You can only say anything you hear and verify with your own ears. Now you are a princess and have a noble status. You can't say that you can listen to the wind and rain. Such things that have not been verified, especially disasters, will cause panic. If this happens later... Hey, you still say it at someone's full moon banquet. Fortunately, the two ladies are rigorous and know to come to ask. If others say it everywhere, how is this good?"

"Mother, my daughter knows that she is wrong." Su Yiqing lowered her head and looked like a young daughter, and she looked like a close mother and daughter, and her daughter was listening to her mother's teachings.

Seeing the interaction between the mother and daughter in Xie's eyes, she couldn't help but wonder, could it be that it was really just heard of it?

Kong looked embarrassed and secretly complained that Xie hadn't said it was this before and had discussed it with her, so the scene wouldn't be so awkward.

Mrs. Meng entered the play and then said, "Since that's the case, I'll go and inquire and see if this is true. If it's true, it's just fine. If it's false, if it's false, please clarify it quickly. I remember that your aunt's husband's third cousin is from Longxian. In previous years, I often sent honey pears to our family. When you got married, you even added a box to marry someone from the Wang Yushi's family. If there's really such a thing, she will definitely know."

"Thank you mother," Su Yiqing whispered.

But Xie was so scared that his face was pale and said quickly: "Don't you need to mobilize the troops to inquire about this?"

A few people looked at each other. Su Yiqing said with a strange look, "Didn't Mrs. Duan ask about it just now?"

"I... I'm just curious for a moment, so don't bother." Xie's words were not straightforward. She was backfiring. What if this matter reached the ears of the censors who liked to make trouble? But now, why didn't they ask for it for her?

Facing the inquiring eyes of Mrs. Meng and her daughter, Xie sweated coldly on her back. In the end, Kong looked at the situation wrong and hurriedly said, "By the way, I suddenly remembered that something else would happen later. We should say goodbye to the princess for so long."

"So quickly, let's leave after lunch. It's rare to come and talk so easily." Su Yiqing said he would keep him.

"No, there are still some things at home." Xie's intuition was afraid that something would happen if he stayed there, so he hurriedly refused.

Su Yiqing stopped forcing her and repeatedly invited her two wives to come and sit down another day, so she asked Madam Qing to send her two wives out.

As soon as the two left, Mrs. Meng immediately said, "Fu'er, are these two people coming just to ask about the disaster in Longxian?"

"Of course not." Su Yiqing smiled slightly, "Mother doesn't have to pay too much attention."

"Oh." Mrs. Meng hesitated for a moment and asked again, "Will the Censor Wang really go and ask?"

Su Yiqing said lightly, "The third cousin of my aunt's family seems to be a little far away. The censor has always been Feng Qingzheng and he doesn't like to make friends with nobles. My daughter feels that it doesn't seem good to come to the door for this little thing, so I'd better ask about it elsewhere."

"What Fu'er said." Mrs. Meng thought about it and stopped talking.

After seeing off Mrs. Meng away, Su Yiqing remembered what Mrs. Meng said earlier and asked Lu Teng about Miss Hu San. Unexpectedly, Lu Teng didn't know after asking, and didn't know if she didn't want to say it or really didn't know.

Su Yiqing didn't care about her servants. After all, Green Teng obeyed Lian Yufeng's orders. If Lian Yufeng didn't let her say it, she would naturally not dare to say it.

I just waited until the evening to ask Lian Yufeng.

But in the past two days, even Yufeng went out early and came back late. The servant told him that he might not come back if he had something to do today, so that Su Yiqing didn't have to wait for him.

That being said, Su Yiqing, who had something to do in her heart, was still on the beauty couch after nightfall, holding a volume of books in her hand, turning a page from time to time. I don’t know how long it took, but she looked up accidentally. A bright moon was hanging high outside the window, and the bright moonlight shone down made people feel even colder.

Su Yiqing couldn't help but feel a little stunned when she looked at the moonlight.

Suddenly, he felt something was moving behind him. Su Yiqing, who had been stunned, seemed to be shocked. She made a habitual move, pulled out a golden hairpin from her head, and then quickly collapsed from the beauty and took a step back.

This move that seemed to be facing a great enemy shocked Lian Yufeng, who was holding a coat and trying to put on her.

Time seemed to have stopped. The two of them looked at each other for a while and were speechless for a while. In the end, Lian Yufeng spoke first and said in the softest tone: "I'm sorry, I thought you fell asleep and scared you."

Only then did Su Yiqing realize that she was holding the golden hairpin tightly in her hand, and she was just now trying to pull it out. There were still a few strands of hair on the golden hairpin. She thought that she must have looked like she was disheveled and looked ferocious. She quickly put the golden hairpin down, stroked her hair with her hands, and squeezed out a smile, "Yes, I was a little scared, I just... had a nightmare."

"Is that so, what did you dream about?" Lian Yufeng continued the movement that he had not completed just now, put his clothes on her shoulders, and continued to ask softly.

"Dream..." Su Yiqing said two words and suddenly felt a little tired and didn't want to lie. The smile that was supposed to be squeezed out on her face collapsed and she said sadly, "No, actually I was not asleep, I just... this is my subconscious reaction, a habit I developed after years of wandering life."

"Is it hard to live alone?" Lian Yufeng gently hugged Su Yiqing and sat on the beauty couch to comfort him, "Don't be afraid, you are very safe in this Dingwang Mansion."

"I know, I just lost my mind and forgot it, so I acted subconsciously." Su Yiqing snuggled in Lian Yufeng's arms and said softly.

"What are you thinking about? "Liang Yufeng asked while looking at the book she placed aside, which turned out to be a book called "River Defense List".

Following Lian Yufeng's gaze, Su Yiqing saw the book and said lightly, "I'm a little bored, so I looked for this book to read."

"Do you like reading this kind of books?" Lian Yufeng was a little surprised. He remembered that there were similar books in his study, but this one was not his. Could it be her? There are few books on the market that were sold, and she didn't think that she bought them in the past two days, so she got married. I remember that she got married with a lot of books, but he didn't pay attention to what kind of books it was, and he didn't expect that there were such books.

Su Yiqing's eyes were a little erratic: "I can't say I like it, but I like to understand unknown things, everything, local and county agendas, customs and customs, four seasons of solar terms, mountains and rivers, pharmacy, farming and other books. The only thing I don't read is poetry, songs, and other books that are not helpful to life."

She just wanted to learn more about the world. She read books on river engineering to understand the geography of the river channel in case of emergencies, but now it is easy for people to misunderstand this purpose.

"This hobby is really a bit special." Lian Yufeng smiled disconcertedly, "I don't read poetry, songs, and I think many of them are just complaining without any reason, but do you think this book like river defense can help you in life?"

Su Yiqing looked at Lian Yufeng's eyes and said seriously: "I want to know about the protection of river embankments and other things, the impact of cutting corners on the river dam, because you mentioned the Mingjiang dike the day before yesterday, and I want to know how much harm is."

Lian Yufeng's smile on his face was a little stiff and he said reluctantly, "This is all in the court, there is no need to know too much."

Su Yiqing just looked at him quietly without saying a word.

After a while, Lian Yufeng asked tiredly, "If you have anything, just say it."

"I'm sorry." Su Yiqing apologized sincerely at first, and then said, "I know that women should not ask more about men's affairs outside, but now this matter seems to involve me. Only I want to know what you want to do?"

Lian Yufeng pondered for a moment, got up and closed the doors and windows before saying, "What I want to do is actually very simple. Someone is greedy on the Mingjiang embankment and I want to expose this matter, but this matter involves a lot. I don't want to do it myself to avoid making enemies, so I just mess up the muddy waters and let others expose the impeachment. It's that simple."

Su Yiqing actually guessed something, but when he really said it, she didn't know what she felt. In short, this was not a happy thing, but there was no way to start accusing him. After thinking about it, she gave up on this topic and said: "I understand. Today, the Kong family of Prince Guo's Mansion, and a wife from the doctor Duan, came here. She asked about this matter indirectly. I think I should follow your plan and spread the things as you think. In addition, my mother also came today. She said something, saying that Miss Hu San Hu Dongmei has undergone a big change recently. Do you still remember who Miss Hu San is?"

"Of course I remember, you almost said to them, and I naturally remember." Lian Yufeng said frankly, "Would you like to ask Miss Hu San why there was such a big change?" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come)
