The situation took a turn for the worse, Jiang Mengzhen glanced at his sister blankly, lowered his head and said, "Who are you? I don't recognize you at all..."

"What are you talking about!" Bi Yan rushed over and pulled the woman away, "You have always served outside, when have you ever entered the inner room? You will call me if you have anything to do, who asked me to talk nonsense of?"

Mrs. Zhao bit her to death and didn't let go, rolling all over the floor and yelling: "I'm wronged, although we were not close to serve, but the second young lady specially called me into the house that day, told me to pawn things, and gave me a lot of rewards. How dare the old woman refuse? I also said that the pie fell from the sky, so I don’t know what kind of theft lawsuit I will get involved in!”

"Silence!"

Jiang Mengyou got dizzy from the quarrel, and the people from the palace stepped forward and pulled Mrs. Zhao aside, covering her mouth. Qi Queqiao sneered and said, "It was the princess who asked her to confess, but now it is also the princess who is blocking her mouth. The young lady didn't tell the truth to the princess, or did the princess come to play the show knowingly, but she was carefully counted and missed?"

"If I arranged it deliberately, how could such a mistake happen? You also said that there are people like me in the pawnshop. If I deliberately seek trouble, why not just designate whoever I want? I think there are other people who are carefully calculated. You guys, I underestimated you." Jiang Mengyou naturally knew his younger brother's personality, and it seemed that the thieves had long thought of a way out, and set up a net to wait for them here. Once a justice-justified theft lawsuit broke out During the fight in the back house where the thief shouted "Stop the thief", she wanted to vent her anger for her brother, but instead, Jiang Mengzhen was splashed with dirty water, and suffered a shameful dumb loss.

"The concubine really underestimates others. Do you think that everyone is afraid of you, and no one dares to speak out a word of justice?" Qi Queqiao hugged Xiao Hua with a distressed face, and secretly squeezed his hand hard, "Don't be afraid, Young Master Xiao. You kindly saved the life of the second young master. Not only are some people ungrateful, but they also resort to such means to keep a man's heart. It's really despised!"

"No...Brother Qi and I are really, really innocent, please don't get me wrong, Second Young Madam." Xiao Hua choked up tears and looked pitiful, he said with his chest heaving and sobbing, "I... I'd better move out and live in the mansion, I'm a little scared... I also don't want to embarrass Brother Qi. "

Theft is a matter of right and wrong, but Qi Queqiao intentionally or unintentionally directs her attention to emotional entanglement. This is her shrewdest place. Anything related to emotions will become vague and ambiguous, and even legal principles are ignored. The sharp edges and corners of human affection melted away, Xiao Hua stole Jiang Mengzhen's dowry to go to court, but Jiang Mengzhen framed her husband's concubine because of jealousy, it was just a matter of the back house.

Jiang Mengyou is also well aware of this. If the matter has reached this stage, if it is confined to the back house, it will not be able to get rid of the jealous guess. If there is a fair verdict, the only way is to go to the court to check it out. Xiao Hua leaked out of the house, he can't get rid of it anyway, and Mrs. Zhao must be lying, she got up and said: "Don't gossip here, if you have anything to say, go to the court and see how much you can stand your lies Wheel punishment - take all these people to Jingzhaoyin!"

The people from the palace immediately surrounded him. Qi Queqiao panicked and shouted, "Qi Heju! Are you just watching? Watching your savior being sent to the court for punishment?"

Xiao Hua also cried out in fright, "Brother Qi, save me!"

"Wait a minute, princess!" Qi Heju finally said, "I want to say a few words to Mengzhen, and then we can make a decision later." He watched half of the farce, and the only thing he understood was that Jiang Mengyou suspected that Xiao Hua had stolen it. Jiang Mengzhen's dowry was to be sent to Xiao Hua to see the official, no matter whether it was true or not, Xiao Hua saved his life after all, Qi Heju only felt that it should not be because of a few things that completely ruined Xiao Hua's life .

Qi Heju pulled Jiang Mengzhen aside and said in a low voice, "Do you have to see the official?"

"Can't you?" Jiang Mengzhen lowered his head and withdrew his hand, "My dowry was pawned for money. If it wasn't for my sister, I would still be in the dark."

"I'll redeem the things and pay you back, okay?"

Jiang Mengzhen looked up at him suddenly, and asked incredulously, "You want to protect him?"

"He's only fifteen, what do he know? He saved me anyway, why bother ruining his life for a few things?"

Jiang Mengzhen felt sad for a while, he thought of his sister who said, "When a man changes his mind, he is the most ruthless. At first, he shields and indulges, and then he is completely partial, so that there is no bottom line maintenance." This is not being staged naked/naked "... Are you reluctant?"

"I'm just discussing the matter, why should he really go to jail?" Qi Heju thought simply, he only wanted to solve this matter, and he only cared about the result of this matter, but he didn't know that the process of handling many things was more important than the result. Seeing that Jiang Mengzhen's face was very pale, he said again: "The matter between us has never been related to him. If you care, I will find another place for him to live in, so that he will not be an eyesore in the house."

"It's not necessary, that would be too troublesome for you, and sooner or later you have to get used to it if it's not an eyesore..." It's just another Li Qingluo living in another courtyard. He lost money and lost others, Xiao Hua stole his dowry, and also stole his husband.In Jiang Mengzhen's view, this is more like a game of emotions. The moment Qi Heju chose to shield Xiao Hua, he lost completely. Even if he could get back those pawned things, he couldn't get them back. Qi He's bewildered heart.

"Sister, forget it," he walked to Jiang Mengyou and said in a low voice, "I'll let you worry about it."

Jiang Mengyou said anxiously: "Why? Is stealing such a small matter that can be easily let go? If you dare to do such a thing, what else can you not do?"

Jiang Mengzhen was silent for a long time, and suddenly his eyes turned red, and he murmured: "I have lost something more important...he is wrong or right, compared with Jing Zhaoyin, the second young master's judgment is The answer I want, isn't it?"

Of course Jiang Mengyou understood the meaning of this sentence, she gritted her teeth, "So you should be more determined, once you enter the government, he will never be able to get out again, isn't it clean?"

Jiang Mengzhen shook his head and said, "It's not interesting to win without fighting."

"...You're confused! Tolerate and raise traitors, it's too late for you to regret it!" Jiang Mengyou stomped her feet fiercely, she looked at Qi Queqiao's changed face, and then at Qi He who wanted to protect Xiao Hua Hey, she just felt that the safe place she chose for her younger brother back then was the tiger and wolf den. She became angry and said louder and louder: "If parents are here, they will regret giving you to the Qi family. After the eldest young master of his family passed away, we It's time to choose someone else, and let his family do it!"

"It seems that it is difficult to settle for the second best." Qi Que Qiao glanced at Qi Hexi, "If my brother is alive, everyone will occupy their own positions, and Young Master Xiao will not have to be so wronged."

Jiang Mengzhen felt Qi Heji's eyes fixed on him, and he also met those dark eyes. The two looked at each other in silence for a moment. Jiang Mengzhen lowered his eyes and said, "Young Master Xiao is I am wronged, this matter is probably a misunderstanding...I will send my sister out first."

Qi Heju looked at the back of him leaving, feeling very uncomfortable, but something went wrong again, he sighed, and said to Xiao Hua: "What's going on? You are short of money, you can directly talk to me explain."

"No..." Xiao Hua lowered his head and stammered, "I didn't, I didn't..."

"Then where did you get your fox fur?"

Qi Queqiao hurriedly said, "I borrowed it from him!"

"Are you so kind?" Qi He's face turned cold, "I know who you are, but you must instigate things here!"

"Good intentions are not rewarded! I'm just speculating with Mr. Xiao, who cares about your business?" Now that the matter has been muddled, Qi Queqiao didn't stay any longer and left.

"I really don't blame the eldest lady. I, I told you that the fox fur was borrowed." Xiao Hua wiped away his tears pitifully with his sleeve, "It's probably the second young lady...because the previous Shiji hates me and feels that I and you are not clear, I, I should apologize to the second young lady, I misunderstood before."

Qi Hexi was not innocent in this matter either. He felt ashamed of Xiao Hua, so he lost his position of questioning, and said with a sigh of relief: "It's because I didn't handle things properly...but Mengzhen is not that kind of person, he I will never deliberately make trouble for you, I think there is a misunderstanding here, forget it now, it is not worth ruining your life for a few things, although you are young, you should know right from wrong."

Xiao Hua nodded obediently on his face, but secretly heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. This incident not only did not make him recognize right from wrong, but made him more confident and bolder because of being sheltered.

"When does my sister plan to leave Beijing?"

"After three days, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave after a long delay," Jiang Mengyou said slowly, "Fortunately, the side concubine is also pregnant with a child, otherwise the prince would not agree to let me take Brother Yu away."

Jiang Mengzhen sent Jiang Mengyou to the gate, and couldn't help asking softly, "Did King Jin lift up his side concubine for the sake of her family's power, or..."

"Silly brother, no matter what the reason is, I don't believe that he will choose me anymore - the fact that he will give up on me is much more important than the reason."

The carriage drove away, and Jiang Mengzhen stood there for a long time. For a moment, he didn't want to turn around and go back to Qi's house.In the past, no matter how aggressive Mrs. Qi was, and how mischievous Qi Queqiao was, he never had such thoughts. This was the first time Jiang Mengzhen had the idea of ​​leaving. Already in favor of another person, it is sad that he should seek fair treatment from his husband and not get even the most basic justice.

Jiang Mengzhen walked back dully, while Qi Heju was standing in the courtyard of Wan Yunxuan, seeing him coming back, he stepped forward hesitantly and said: "...you are missing something, I will help you find it. "

How to find the heart to empathize with others?Jiang Mengzhen just shook his head, and he said slowly: "Don't worry, those things are worthless, even if I can't get them back, I won't send him to see the official."

"I'm not for him..." Qi Heju was thinking of a more harmless outcome, but what Jiang Mengzhen valued was which side his husband would stand on.

"It's not for him, is it for me? Are you afraid that I'll lose face if I lose my dowry? Or do you also think I'm plotting against him?" Jiang Mengzhen looked at him and said, "If that's the case, I'm not afraid of embarrassment, you just call the official. Come check."

"I know it's probably his fault, but he's young and ignorant, so just let him go... just for my sake."

"For your sake..." Jiang Mengzhen walked into the house and closed the door, covering her wet eyes with the back of her hand, "...don't try to pierce my heart again."

Qi Heju knew that Jiang Mengzhen was not a person who would not give up because of a few things. Is he so sad and lost because of the unfairness of covering up and indulging, or because of the injustice of giving in to the next best thing?In the relationship between the two of them, there are actually four people crowded, so it is always out of balance.

Qi Heju was locked out of the door. He still remembered that today was Jiang Mengzhen's birthday. It was a good flower festival, but there was a lot of trouble and they broke up unhappy.
