Just remember

"Master, I'm really wronged, how could I have hurt the young master—" The little maid who fell to the ground looked like seventeen or eighteen, watery and pear blossoms with rain, crying until she was in tears.

Qing Changqing, who was seated in the main hall again, looked ashen, and threw something on the table next to his hand: "I found this thing from you, how do you explain it?"

It was a mandarin duck pendant, exquisitely carved, with azure tassels hanging from it.

Yanzi bit her lips tightly, obviously unwilling to answer this question, but the tears fell even more fiercely.

"There is nothing difficult to explain," a voice suddenly sounded in the main hall, with a little smile and a little cynical, "I gave it to her."

Chun Jinran followed the prestige, and saw that Qingfeng who was originally lounging in the corner came forward at some point, with an expression of indifference, loving whomever.

Qing Changqing was obviously very angry, he glared at Qingfeng angrily and panted heavily, his lips trembled uncontrollably, as if he wanted to scold, but he didn't know where to start.

With a smile on his face, Qingfeng seems to have gotten used to his father's angry face, or seems to think that his father is not angry enough, so he slowly adds fuel to the fire: "Swallow is beautiful, I like her, I will give her a small gift , why did you get so angry with your old man?"

I'm afraid it's not just a casual gift.Chun Jinran thought of the room of spring that he accidentally saw through when he first visited Qingmen. Although the quilt covered all the upside-down luan and phoenix, leaving only a section of his daughter's lotus arm, but with the intense panting and ambiguous Soft words are enough to give voyeurs infinite reverie.

"Small object?!" Qing Changqing finally went into a rage, slamming a palm that almost shattered the desk case, "This is an ancestral item of the Qing family!"

Qingfeng tilted his head, looking innocent: "The second brother has this jade pendant, and the third brother also has it, so it's not bad for me."

Qing Changqing trembled all over, Yuanshi on the side couldn't stand it anymore, walked to Qingfeng's side in three steps at a time, and slapped his son angrily: "What nonsense are you writing, why don't you kneel down and admit your mistake to your father?" !"

Qingfeng let his mother beat him back and forth, but remained still.

There was nothing Yuan could do, so he burst into tears.

The eldest lady of Qingmen is serious, the second wife is heroic, and only the third wife is a typical representative of countless women in the backyard of the big family. They cry, make trouble and hang themselves three times, completely consummate.

And sometimes this trick can be used against the husband, and sometimes this trick can be used against the son.

The lightness on Qingfeng's face slowly dissipated, and finally turned into a helpless sigh, then bent his legs, and fell to his knees with a plop: "Father, I was wrong."

Chun Jinran suddenly felt a little admiration for this man.The reason why it is said that a man can bend and stretch is because the process of bending is really difficult, but here in Qingfeng, from stretching to bending, it is clean and neat, and the so-called struggle is just a fleeting sigh.

However, this kneeling was not enough for Qing Changqing who was in a rage, his voice was still gloomy, even more terrifying than before: "You are usually frivolous and like flirting, I just turn a blind eye and close one eye, But if you harm your brother, I will never forgive you lightly."

Qingfeng was stunned, and then laughed loudly, leaning back and forth, almost crying: "I said how to find a jade pendant, and I will not let you go, so it is waiting for me here. Well, well, I have bad behavior, I will give it to you." Qingyu poisoned, do I have to apologize with death?"

"Swallow is Yu'er's personal servant girl, you don't give her jade pendant to anyone, don't you want her to poison Yu'er for you?" Qing Changqing said sternly.

"Ha," Qingfeng seemed to think that this sounded funny, and asked instead, "Then daddy, tell me, why did the child harm the fourth brother?"

Qing Changqing's face became stiff, and he didn't make a sound for a long time.

Qingfeng suppressed his smile, and the corners of his mouth curled up with a touch of coldness: "Because you are partial to the youngest son. In your heart, the eldest brother died young, the second brother was dull, and I was frivolous and idle. Only the fourth brother is the best, smart, obedient, and just like me. The aura of heaven and earth, the essence of the sun and the moon, so I should be jealous. But will jealousy make me poison? No. More importantly, I should worry that you will pass on the large family business of Qingmen to your fourth brother after a hundred years. So the fourth brother must die. Right?"

Qing Changqing's face was already extremely ugly, it was obvious that what Qingfeng said was what he thought in his heart, and every sentence hit the nail on the head.

"But father, have you ever thought about it? Since ancient times, the family business has been passed on to the heir or the eldest son, but rarely to the youngest son. Although you dote on your fourth younger brother, you have never said on any occasion that you want to pass on the Qing family to him, and The fourth brother is young, and what will happen in the future is still unknown, why am I so sure that you will pass on the Qingmen to him? Why do you not hesitate to kill yourself because of this?" Qingfeng smiled again when he said this, but this time he smiled There is no fooling around anymore, only full of bitterness, "So, it's not that I'm worried about the fourth brother inheriting the Qingmen, but in your heart, I have already decided to let the fourth brother inherit the Qingmen; it's not because I poisoned you because of jealousy, but because you think, Will be poisoned out of jealousy."

The setting sun has long been submerged in darkness, and the light night wind blows in from this window, turns around, and blows out from that window, leaving only the cool moonlight shining on the ground, body, and heart.

I don't know how long it took before Qing Changqing managed to force out a sentence: "You really didn't do it?"

Qingfeng was stunned, he couldn't believe that after he had talked so much, his father would still ask him this question, the last bit of heat in his heart finally cooled down.

Originally, there was still a lot to say, but now, he didn't want to justify anymore.

Qing Changqing was also at a loss, there were still doubts, but just because Qingfeng had an affair with Qingyu's personal servant girl, it would be rash to infer that he ordered the servant girl to poison and kill people.Thinking of this, Qing Changqing turned his head to look at the Jiang family. Although the eldest lady is old and decrepit, for decades, Qing Changqing has been in charge of the Qing family outside, and the eldest lady has been in charge of the Qing family inside. Da Pai is well-managed, so at this time, he needs his wife's advice.

Years of tacit understanding allowed Jiang to understand her husband's meaning, and she who had been silent all this time finally spoke slowly: "Although Feng'er is a little frivolous, but his heart is not bad, if he ordered Yanzi to poison Yu'er, I don't believe it. However, the master has been interrogating for so long, and he has not found any other suspicious persons, so to be on the safe side, I think it's better to keep Feng'er under surveillance first."

"After talking about putting on makeup for a long time, don't you still doubt our Feng'er!" Yuan Shi screamed, under the messy bun was a resolute face that vowed to protect his son to the death.

Jiang Shi was unmoved, and with a light word, he moved a thousand catties: "Even if Feng'er is innocent, he doesn't abide by the etiquette and has an affair with the maid, he should be banned as a punishment."

Yuanshi still wanted to open his mouth, but after Qing Changqing said "Enough!", he lost his arrogance.

In the end, according to Da Furen's suggestion, Qingfeng was confined in his own courtyard, not to mention unable to get close to Tianqing Pavilion, even activities in his own courtyard had to be watched.

It's night, four watch days.

A black shadow stepped through the moonlight and landed silently on the roof of Qingfeng's bedroom. He hooked his feet to the eaves, his body was hanging upside down, and his two free hands held a dagger in one of the tightly closed doors. The gap between the window sash, one hand against the window lattice, to minimize the vibration of the window sash caused by the dagger.Finally, the dagger encountered an obstacle, and the black shadow exerted a little force on his wrist, and the window latch fell with a click. With the dagger back, he pushed lightly, and the window sash slowly opened.The black shadow sneaked into the house with a whoosh. The whole process only took a blink of an eye, and no one was disturbed. Even the flowers, trees, and bright moon were not aware of it. The world was still quiet, as if nothing had happened.

The black shadow who sneaked into the room retracted the dagger into his cuff, tiptoed close to the bed, and was about to bend down, but suddenly heard a man's voice from behind——

"I knew someone would come. Kill me, and then create the illusion of committing suicide in fear of crime, and the murderer will be able to escape from the shell."

Qingfeng came out from the darkness, and with a bang, lit the torch. The faint firelight melted the pitch black into a dim red-yellow, not bright, but enough to see the person coming.

"But I never would have thought that it would be you, Young Hero Chun."

Chun Jinran, who was standing by the bed, managed to adapt his eyes to the sudden light, but his head was shattered by the "agility and ingenuity" of the third young master of the Qing family. I didn't expect it to be me."

Qingfeng frowned: "What do you mean?"

Chun Jinran sighed: "You put out the fire first, with this gloomy light, who can look like a good person? If you are as beautiful as a fairy, you have become a bull's head and a horse's face!"

Qingfeng is hesitant, who knows if the other party will kill him after returning to the darkness.But he can be sure of one other thing: "You are not as beautiful as a fairy..."

"It's not important!" Chun Jinran rolled his eyes, lowered his voice and said fiercely, "If you don't destroy it, the person who guards you will come up! Then you will say that we are plotting, and you will not be able to speak clearly!"

What Chun Jinran said was reasonable, and even if he wanted to harm him, as long as he yelled, the guards downstairs would run up, forgive him for not being able to do anything to him.Thinking of this, Qingfeng decisively extinguished the fire.

The little bit of hot air that had just risen slowly dissipated with the annihilation of the fire.

The night was cold again, just like the moonlight pouring in through the window.

"What exactly do you want?" Qingfeng's voice was low, but still guarded.

"First of all, I'm not the murderer," Chun Jinran said patiently, "If you calm down now, you can use your brain to think about it. I came with Ding Ruoshui. Before we came, your brother was already poisoned. , and if I really want to put Qingyu to death, I can just stop Ding Ruoshui from coming, why do I have to travel thousands of miles to Sichuan?"

Qingfeng frowned and thought for a moment, seeming to accept this explanation, but still didn't understand: "Then why did you come here in the middle of the night?"

Chun Jinran looked at him fixedly, and said word by word: "Because I believe that you are not the murderer."

Qingfeng met Chun Jinran's gaze, for a long time, chuckled lightly, with a bit of self-deprecation: "How can you see that?"

Chun Jinran shrugged: "Even if Qingyu dies, there is still Qingping, whether it is in terms of seniority or character, it is not your turn. Don't you care about human relations and brutally kill your brother just to pave the way for another brother?" ? Isn't it ridiculous."

Qingfeng blinked blankly, suddenly amused, and kept saying: "It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous, why didn't I expect it to be so ridiculous haha..."

Chun Jinran knew that he was suffering in his heart, so he didn't say anything, he just said: "Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, and I didn't wait for outsiders to intervene. But now because of these, a child's life is in danger, and he is only a teenager. Ah, can you bear it?"

"Of course I can't bear it!" The desolate laughter stopped abruptly, and Qingfeng suddenly became excited, "Don't talk about teens, even if he is dozens of years old, he is also my younger brother!"

Under the hazy night, the man's body trembled slightly because of his utmost restraint. For some reason, Chun Jinran thought of Hang Mingzhe.

One is weak and incompetent, the other is frivolous, but under the weakness there is love for the younger sister, and in the frivolity there is love for Yaodi, even if compared with these younger brothers and sisters, he is even more unlikable.

"I can't bear it either," Chun Jinran said sincerely, "So I, like you, want to catch the murderer as soon as possible."

Qingfeng finally understood Chun Jinran's reason for coming, and without talking nonsense, said straightforwardly: "What can I do for you?"

Chun Jinran said: "Everyone in Tianqing Pavilion just now, I want to know their relationship with Qingyu, and the relationship between them. Of course, most of them are your family members, and there may be ones you like. There are also things you hate, but I hope you can tell me the truth."

Qingfeng was puzzled: "Why didn't you ask my father?"

Chun Jinran shook his head: "As I said just now, this is a family affair of the Qingmen. Firstly, your father may not like me to intervene. Secondly, for those people, the third son of Qingmen may not be able to see clearly like you."

Qingfeng looked at Chun Jinran through the night for a while, and finally the corners of his mouth turned up, revealing his first real smile of the night, very faint, but relieved: "The most right thing my father did was to invite Dr. Ding, and you.
