I took the note, sat on the roof of the courtyard, and could still see the writing on the paper under the moonlight: good and evil will be rewarded in the end.

What does this sentence mean? Did Mrs. Zongzheng guess his intention?And she knows about Qiao's family, which reminds him of something.

"My lord, Madam's illness has flared up again!" The servant girl from just now hastily brought a group of people over. The three fathers and sons of the Zongzheng family all rushed over anxiously. It relieved a lot of "why did you all come to my small courtyard all of a sudden?"

"Mother, the servant said that you had another attack. Didn't you just drink the medicine today?" Zongzhengmu looked up and down anxiously. Except for Mrs. Zongzheng's pale face, everything seemed to be safe and well. But the father and son came to disturb you." It can be seen that the position of the Zongzheng wife in the Zongzheng family is obviously respected and loved.

"I'll tell you not to live here anymore. If you feel uncomfortable at night, it's hard to take care of it." Zongzheng Yue sighed, but the veteran Jianghu seemed so helpless.

"Didn't you build this courtyard back then to relieve me of my homesickness, why should I live here now?" Mrs. Zongzheng's voice was weak, but she showed her delicateness everywhere, "Go back and rest. , if Xiaoqing dares to talk nonsense next time, I will cut your tongue off."

Just as they turned to leave the small courtyard, a gravel rolled down from Qiu Zhu's feet, which caught their attention, "Who's there?"

Mrs. Zongzheng felt anxious and kicked the stone under her feet, "What do you mean by that?"

"Is there someone?" Zongzhengmu didn't say a word, but Zongzhengshan walked towards the back of the house, "Ahshan, what are you going to do, do you suspect that mother has some ulterior secret?"

"Ah Shan doesn't dare." Zongzhengshan is the young head of the Zongzheng family, but at this time he is respectful, afraid that he will accidentally offend his mother.

"If you have doubts, just search and don't disturb my rest." The voice was quiet but loud, and he turned and walked into the house, and the few people left did not dare to act rashly.

Zong Zhengmu stared at the direction he suspected just now. He knew it was Qiu Zhu who did it, but he didn't know why his mother protected Lin Qiuzhu so much. If he told his father and brother who was here, his mother would be furious.

After driving everyone away, the small courtyard was finally quiet. Mrs. Zongzheng walked back to the room and found that the note on the window was missing. She opened the window and tapped lightly twice.

"If you're still here, can you come see me?" The words were full of pleadings, and after a while there was no answer, and he turned back feeling a little disappointed, but heard two "knock knocks", came back to his senses, a black The figure came down from the room.

Mrs. Zongzheng originally thought it was a senior, but she never thought it was a man who seemed younger than her youngest son, holding a note written by herself in his hand.

"I don't mean any harm, I just want to ask why you left that note?" She handed over the note written by Qiu Zhu, "How would you know that this sentence means a lot to me."

Qiu Zhu shook her head with a slight smile, "I don't know the meaning of this sentence to Madam. It is really helpless to visit Zongzheng's family at night. I hope Madam will forgive me."

"You are young, did you know Qiao's family well before?" Madam guessed, if there is no friendship, why would you come here for Qiao's family.

"Then madam and the Qiao family are old friends?" He glanced at the small box on the table, and Mrs. Zongzheng also sensed Qiu Zhu's meaning, "I haven't seen you for many years."

"It's just an old friend that I haven't seen for many years. Why did Madam take the initiative to protect me? I guess it's because of the influence of the late Qiao's family." If Mrs. Zongzheng hadn't noticed the connection between Qiuzhu and Qiao's family, how could she have never helped me at all? Strangers I've met.

"Whether it's an enemy or a friend, those who come here for the Qiao family must not be villains. Please sit down." She was not vigilant at all, and seemed to trust everyone related to the Qiao family. "Joe The family matter has happened for many years, and you are young, how can you care about this matter?"

"Some things, I must find out. I heard that Madam has a wooden box from Qiao's family in her hand. I thought that if Madam and Qiao's family knew each other, maybe I could get some clues." It was only now that he was able to look closely The writing brush in the box, on the slender barrel, is engraved with: Yufei is a hundred days.

Surprised, this pen is for Xunfei, "Yufei..."

"This is Yu Fei's hundred days. An eminent monk personally shaved his hair. This is the brush made of his fetal hair." Mrs. Zongzheng seemed to cherish it very much, and the tip of the brush is still soft and shiny.

"Why is Yufei's pen here at Madam's place?" He knew that Qiao's family held it very grandly during the Hundred Days of Finding Fei. It is said that because the child was weak, he wanted to exorcise evil spirits for him. All the congratulatory gifts for the Hundred Days were all It was stored in the cabinet of Xunfei Huaqing Temple, but why did this brush made of fetal hair fall outside?

"It's ashamed to say that I am the daughter of the Qiao family and Yu Fei's aunt, but I have never seen him once. I wanted to visit this little nephew for a hundred days, but I was kicked out. My brother couldn't bear it and made this fetus Leave the pen for me to think about it." Mrs. Zongzheng's words were shocking, no wonder she always felt inexplicably familiar, it turned out that she was from the Qiao family, and her eyes were very similar to those of Xun Fei.

"Until something happened to Qiao's house, I still couldn't enter that door." There was remorse and regret in what she said, "Since you know about it, can you tell me your identity and purpose of coming?"

"It's just a nameless junior, and his life is worthless. I came here today just to find out the truth about the murder of Qiao's family." Qiu Zhu was hesitating, wondering if she should tell Mrs. Zongzheng about Xun Fei. She is Xun Fei's aunt. I miss the grandson of the Qiao family so much.But after getting along for a short time, I dare not trust rashly.

"My lord is still unwilling to speak at this level. I must have my own concerns. I won't force it." Mrs. Zongzheng really did what she said, and she didn't ask any more questions, but she narrated some things that Qiu Zhu wanted to know. Come on.

"My girlfriend's name is Qiao Yanle. Just like the sentence you wrote, my father hangs it in the bedroom all the year round. He gave it to his son and daughter, including his grandson. It's a joke." With a pale smile mixed with a bit of bitterness, "When I was a teenager, my father was an official in the court, and many people proposed marriage, but I rejected them one by one. Later, I met Zong Zhengyue, my husband of more than [-] years, Zong Zhengyue is because my father is an old enemy, the old and the young, and they hate each other, but I insist on marrying him. On the day I got married, I followed him back here and lived here for more than twenty years."
