124, centering
The corruption case in Jiannandao is so disturbing that the whole capital is talking about this matter. You can find out by just asking. Ye Qing came back less than half a day after going out and brought back the news that the two masters of the Song family had been suspended and investigated.
After hearing Ye Qing's reply, Xu Ting was surprisingly calm. It was probably because she had made a decision and was not panicked. Instead, Ye Qing was extremely panicked. "Miss, how can this be done? I heard that the emperor was very angry about the corruption in Jiannandao. He appointed more than a dozen first-rank and second-rank officials to thoroughly investigate this matter. He would severely punish all the officials who committed the crime. Many of the houses have been searched..."
Ye Qing is Xu Ting's personal maid. In the future, Xu Ting will have to marry her. If something happened to the Song family and the marriage cannot be withdrawn, then she will not...
"Don't panic!" Xu Ting calmed down, "Let's go to my mother's place!"
Ye Qing nodded and hurriedly served Xu Ting to change her clothes and dress up. When he went out to see the Shulin Pavilion not far away, Ye Qing couldn't help but say, "Miss Jiu had just returned and retired. The wife and the master mentioned Miss Jiu again. Maybe Miss Jiu really knows something, don't you ask Miss Jiu?"
"Don't go!" Xu Ting refused coldly. Ye Qing knew that Xu Ting's temper seemed gentle, but the viciousness inside was beyond the reach of ordinary people. He dared not persuade him anymore, and followed him to Chunhuiyuan with his eyebrows down.
Xu Ting went to Chunhuiyuan but didn't see Li. After asking Xuexiang, she found out that Li had returned to her parents' home.
"When did my mother leave?"
Xuexiang said, "It's not long before leaving! After resting for noon, the lady heard from her uncle's wife, and suddenly said she wanted to go to the Li family, and left without cleaning up everything! Is there anything wrong with Miss Seven looking for her wife?"
Xu Ting smiled and said, "It's nothing important, I just want to come and treat my mother to you! Since my mother is not here, it seems that she won't come back for a while, so I'll go back first!"
Xuexiang nodded, and seeing Xu Ting's a little disappointed look, she couldn't help but comfort her, "Don't worry, Miss Seven, Madam will definitely have a solution!"
Xu Ting forced a smile to Xuexiang, but she thought in her heart that it was true that good things would not go out, and bad things would spread thousands of miles away. What was hateful is that she, the person involved, always knew it at the last moment!
Xu Ting walked back to Shaohuaju again, walked to the fork in the road, and stopped involuntarily. She looked at the Shulin Pavilion, which was closed in the courtyard, and couldn't help but wonder what Xu Shu was doing now, and what would she do if she was in her own situation?
Ye Qing looked at Xu Ting's eyes, gritted his teeth, but still had no courage to say it.
Xu Ting turned around and walked towards Shulin Pavilion. When she turned around, she found Ye Qing stayed there and urged, "What are you doing when you stand there?"
Ye Qing hurriedly followed and locked the door of Shulin Pavilion. Someone inside replied, "Here are you here, who?" and walked towards the door.
Yuanyuan opened the door. When he saw Xu Ting, he hurriedly greeted her, "Miss Seven! Please come inside!"
Xu Ting entered the yard and found that Shulin Pavilion was particularly deserted and even more deserted than usual.
Yuanyuan tied the door and explained, "In a few days, the lady will go to the village, so she didn't let the extra people arrange. If there were fewer people, she was afraid that she would not be able to see the door tightly, so she simply locked the door!"
Xu Ting nodded absent-mindedly and asked, "Where is the ninth sister?"
Yuanyuan asked Xu Ting into the house and replied, "Miss Jiu got a machine box from somewhere and is studying it!"
When Xu Ting entered the room, she saw Xu Shu put down a piece of wood the size of a palm and stood up, looking at her accurately and shouting, "Sister Qi!"
"Nine Sister!"
Xu Ting sat on the chair. Looking up at the house, she found that the house was empty, except for some furniture and decorations. She remembered that Xu Shu went to the village several times before and after, and brought several boxes of things each time. The already empty Shulin Pavilion was emptied unknowingly. Is Xu Shu going to the village to live for a long time?
"Nothing left here, the room was empty!" Xu Shu smiled, and picked up the machine box and tinkered with it.
Xu Ting opened her mouth and suddenly said, "I still have some vases and calligraphy and paintings. If the Ninth Sister doesn't dislike me, I'll let the girls send them here!"
Xu Shu was surprised for a moment and shook her head and refused, "Thank you for your kindness, Sister Qi, but I will leave after staying for a few days, so there is no need to make trouble!"
Xu Ting took the initiative to show kindness but was rejected by Xu Shu. She suddenly turned red and thought to herself why she was confused. She wanted to come to Xu Shu. Even if she would rather marry the Song family than bow her head in front of Xu Shu.
Ye Qing helped the owner and said, "It's also a matter of going to the garden to pick a few flowers and put them in!"
Xu Ting glared at Ye Qing, and Ye Qing suddenly realized that Xu Shu often made incense. In order to ensure the purity of the fragrance produced, Xu Shu did not need to incense in her house, and there was no flowers and trees planted in the yard. There was only a fragrant crabapple.
Xu Shu smiled and said, "The flowers in the garden are blooming well. Keep them for everyone to see. I can't see them, so I won't waste anything!"
Ye Qing blushed and lowered her head. Xu Ting saw that Xu Shu had no intention of continuing to talk, so she wanted to stand up and leave. But she felt that she had just pulled her face down, but she left without asking anything. After struggling for a while, she sat down again with a weak body.
"Jin Sister, do you know that something happened to the Song family?" After all, the interests have the upper hand. If she really wants to marry into the down-and-out Song family, what face can she have?
Xu Shu nodded, "I knew it when I entered the palace with Mrs. Song Er when I entered the palace on the birthday of the Empress Dowager!"
Xu Shu actually knew it a long time ago. After being surprised, Xu Ting suddenly became angry. She knew it so early but kept it from herself.
"I didn't mean to hide it from Sister Qi!" Xu Shu seemed to "see" Xu Ting's anger, "This is my job, I just happened to know it. Besides, how could I take the initiative to tell Sister Qi?"
Xu Ting held her fists tightly to calm her mood, and she was already calm when she spoke, "I don't mean to blame Jiu Mei! If you want to blame me, you can only blame myself. You turn a blind eye to the matter outside the window. Now something is wrong, but you can only wait! It feels so uncomfortable that it is powerless to do anything! "
"Father will handle it!" Xu Ting rarely let go of her pride, and Xu Shu also helped her with her sister's duties.
Xu Shu only mentioned Xu Hui, but did not mention Li, but Xu Ting did not pay attention to the mystery in Xu Shu's words, "I just went to find my mother, but my mother was not here, and said she had gone to my uncle's house!"
At this time, the mother went to work hard on other things regardless of her daughter's life and death, and asked Xu Ting, who thought she was favored since childhood, to be injured.
Xu Ting was still only counting on Li at this time, but Li was the most unreliable. Xu Shu sighed, "Sister Seven, don't worry, my father will not let you marry into the Song family!"
"But I heard that the Song family is unwilling to retire..." Xu Ting finally said the most worried and panic-hearted thing in her heart.
"No matter whether the Song family agrees to withdraw from the bride, you will not marry into the Song family, Sister Qi!"
