Through the array painter

At night, the eldest lady didn't show up for a long time, and there was no carriage. The elder and He Xing asked all over where she might go, but finally found nothing.

I had no choice but to report it to the government, send people and ask people to pay attention.

…………

In the early morning, this was the first meal Mrs. He participated in after she came out, and both father and mother were waiting at the dining table early.

Because He Ze must accompany his grandmother for this breakfast, the sixth prince also followed.

Mrs. He and Grandfather He appeared at the same time, sitting at the head of the table.

Mrs. He came in and saw that He Ze's family was sitting on one side of the dining table, and the sixth prince was sitting at the bottom of He Ze. She asked in surprise, "Why, you sit there, who is the other side for? Six princes, come on!" Come to the front. Zijun, sit opposite your husband."

The sixth prince waved his hand, "No need, old lady, I am here to meet Xiaohe's peers. Please let me sit here."

Mrs. He heard what the sixth prince had said, so she followed him.

"Zi Jun, don't just sit there." The old lady reminded He Mu.

"Yes." He Mu bowed her head in response and moved to the position pointed by the old lady.

"This, this... Juan'er's position should be reserved for her." Grandfather He said.

Grandmother He looked at Grandfather He, but remained silent for a while, before saying, "Then Zijun, please leave a space behind, after all, that Qiongjuan has also been with the mansion for many years."

After hearing this, Zijun moved to the opposite side of Heze.

"Why hasn't Qiongjuan arrived yet? Could it be that she heard that I'm coming to eat and doesn't want to sit at the same table with me?" Mrs. He frowned when she saw that Hemu was sitting still.

"Are we just waiting?" Grandma He asked Grandpa He.

Grandfather He reassured, "It's not the usual meal time yet, since someone hasn't come, let's wait."

"Since you say that, then wait a little longer." Mrs. He shook her head, "What rules have I followed all these years when I was not here?"

Qiongjuan and the Elder's family have been domineering for many years, coupled with Grandpa He's connivance, they can be regarded as the sky in the He Mansion.

Madam He's appearance not only gave them a sense of crisis, but also made them very unconvinced.They didn't believe that a married old princess could do anything.

So today a few people deliberately carried Fan, planning to have breakfast later.

As soon as I came in, I was dumbfounded.

They had expected the two old people to sit at the first place, but how could Xu Zijun move forward and sit opposite He Ze.

The seat in front of her was reserved for Qiongjuan, so they were going to sit at the end of the table.

Grandpa He signaled them with his eyes not to talk nonsense, but to sit wherever there was room.

Several people regretted it in their hearts. If they had known about it, they would have come earlier to get a good seat, so they wouldn't be as embarrassed as they are now.

But the matter has come to this point, and according to their status, they have no reason to refute, so they can only sit down temporarily.

The instant they sat down they thought it was the most disgusting morning, and obviously they were wrong.

Madam He's exit was the most embarrassing time for them.

"Who are you? How dare you come and sit casually?"

Grandfather He saw a few people, and interjected, "Hey, why didn't your wife come?"

The Elder dared not tell Grandfather He about the disappearance of the First Lady, for fear that Grandfather He would worry and worry and wait until the First Lady returned safely, which would only make Grandfather He angry.

"Her natal family has something to do, so she hurried away. Before leaving, please tell the child to father."

Grandpa He nodded after listening.

Recalling what Grandma He said just now, she was angry because Grandma He changed her seat randomly in the morning, and seeing her aggressive, she couldn't help saying: "He is Juan'er's child, and grandson Xing'er, the children came to eat early in the morning, let's have a feast .”

"Wait." Grandma He didn't buy it, "I let Qiongjuan sit at this table because she has been with you for many years, but after all, there is a difference between master and servant, how can her child be equal to me?" table?"

"Why not, since ancient times, there has been no admonition that the descendants of concubines should not sit at the same table with the descendants of the royal family, but there are not so many rules for a breakfast."

Seeing that Grandpa He was leaning towards them, the backs of several people stiffened again.

"Sister," Qiongjuan walked to her place, "Sister has been away for many years, and the master relies on these children to add some fun, so please be tolerant and let them come up to eat."

Grandmother He didn't care about their mood at this moment, she curled her lips as a tacit consent.

Qiongjuan immediately beckoned the old man and the others to sit down.

"Stay here after dinner, I have something important to announce."

After finishing speaking, Grandma He remained silent throughout the meal.

After receiving the support of Grandfather He just now, Qiongjuan and the others seemed to be reassured. After all, Grandfather He is the owner of this He Mansion.

Everyone put down their bowls and chopsticks, An Qijin stood up and said to Grandma He, "Since you have an important announcement, it's inconvenient for me, an outsider, to continue listening, so I'll take my leave."

"Oh, no need. It's not like you don't know, and you don't have to hide it."

Order people to pack up the leftovers.

Mrs. He patted the front of her clothes and said solemnly: "I don't need to say, everyone knows why I retreat in the ancestral hall and devote myself to worshiping the Buddha. But recently, I got a piece of news."

"My child's lack of cultivation is not his own fault."

"It's because of poisoning!"

"The ones who made such a cruel move are the people in the He Mansion."

Mrs. He patted the table heavily.

"Qiongjuan! Who gave you the guts to hurt my child!"

Qiongjuan's complexion changed instantly, "Ma'am, you... where did you hear these rumors, I treat your child like my own. You can ask Bin'er, I didn't do anything to hurt him ah."

"Shut up," Mrs. He waved her hand impatiently, "I didn't ask you to confirm and listen to your sophistry today. Do you think I will say these things casually?"

Mrs. He asked Xining to bring the things up.

"Look, this is the poison you asked your daughter-in-law to poison my son."

Xi Ning opened the box, and inside was what An Qijin had given to Mrs. He.

"This... this is ridiculous. I haven't even seen these things." Qiongjuan shook her head and denied after taking a look.

"You just won't die until you reach the Yellow River. This thing really can't be proved to be yours, but what about this." Mrs. He threw out the letter written by Qiongjuan to the eldest lady.

The moment Qiongjuan saw the letter, her expression changed.

Didn't she tell her daughter-in-law to destroy this thing a long time ago, why is it still showing up here now?

She was stabbed in the back by one of her own people.

Even so, she would not admit it: "What is this, I have never seen it before. This note...is so similar to mine."

Qiongjuan raised her head and looked at Grandpa He with tears in her eyes, "Someone must have framed this, please make the decision for me, both of you!"

Grandfather He glanced at the letter. It was indeed written by Qiongjuan, "Letters can also be forged. This matter needs to be investigated carefully, and no conclusion can be made at will."

After hearing this, Mrs. He changed her gentle and tactful temperament in the past, and she spoke with a knife: "There is evidence, but you can't be conclusive? I think you are deliberately covering it up. Don't forget that my child is still a person of royal blood, Not everyone can spoil it arbitrarily."

When Grandfather He heard what she said, he was also worried that the people above would know about it. At that time, no matter whether Qiongjuan was guilty or not, as long as He Bin confirmed that he was injured, she would not feel better.

"Let's handle this kind of family affairs by ourselves, and don't disclose it casually."

"Don't worry." Grandfather He said to Grandmother He, "I will definitely find out the truth and not let our children suffer in vain."

But how could Mrs. He believe it at this time.

At this time, Xi Ning approached, leaned on Mrs. He's ear and said something.

Mrs. He sneered, "If that's the case, bring her here."

After finishing speaking, she turned her head and looked at Qiongjuan, "You keep saying that it has nothing to do with you, of course I will check it out carefully, and I won't wrong you. You are not allowed to say a word for a while, and you can't make any movements or expressions. I will listen to your daughter-in-law. explain."

Xi Ning put away the letter.

After a while, the eldest lady was brought up.

At this time, the Da Furen was no longer as glamorous as before, kneeling down unkempt, not daring to lift her head.

"Are you convicted?!" Mrs. He asked seriously.

The eldest lady lay on the ground trembling, "I...I..."

Without saying anything, the eldest lady looked around helplessly, and asked Qiongjuan and the elder for help with her eyes.

But Mrs. He has long ordered no one to speak, and anyone who says a word at this time is not calling themselves.

In Qiongjuan's eyes, this scene became something that everyone knew she had committed, but they stood by and watched.

But why did my mother sit there so well?

For many years without a decent hostess in the He Mansion, Qiongjuan has been clearly called mother by the eldest lady.

She clearly remembered that the letter in the secret grid was missing.

She didn't do this by herself, she will never take the blame alone!

"Look at this, I found it in your room." Mrs. He pointed at the poison/medicine.

"No, no, no...it's not me..." Da Furen hastily denied it.

Mrs. He was already very irritated by being contradicted again and again: "How dare you say it's not you?! The evidence is conclusive, and you are not allowed to quibble. How dare you poison and murder, such a vicious heart is waiting to go to prison for the rest of your life!"

"Old madam, don't!!" Da Furen crawled and begged Grandma He.

"No? Your idea is all on my child's head, and you still want me to let you go?!" Mrs. He kicked the eldest lady away.

my idea

This is really not my idea!

The eldest lady looked at Qiongjuan, and everyone followed her gaze.

At this time, everyone was looking at Qiongjuan, and she didn't dare to make any unnecessary movements.

Looking at the expressionless mother who had nothing to do with her, the eldest lady rushed up in anger.

This is not her real mother, besides, she ordered herself to do these things. Now that something happened, she hangs up high, how can she do it! !

The eldest lady was anxious and angry, her mind was so filled with anger that she couldn't function at all.

He opened his mouth and said, "My mother ordered me to do this!"

Qiongjuan opened her eyes and looked at the eldest lady in disbelief, as if she couldn't accept the fact that the eldest lady betrayed her.

Years of experience have calmed her down.

"How can you say that, I have cared for you for so many years, how can you frame me!" Qiongjuan hoped that what she said would make the lady think about it and stop saying those words.

But the eldest lady is already alone and helpless, and the life-saving straws treat her coldly one by one, why does she hide it for her.

"Mother, do you remember that you once wrote me a letter..." the eldest lady said fiercely.

Qiongjuan stood up abruptly, "Don't talk nonsense, I didn't write that letter."

The eldest lady ignored her and turned to look at Grandpa He.

"At that time, my mother must have asked me to destroy the letter. I... I kept it privately, and I will take you to find it. I don't want to go to jail. This matter is really not my idea! Please, father, learn from me!"

Grandfather He would slap her to death after hearing her words, he was so stupid that if she kept denying it, he would find a way to help her to the greatest extent, but now that she has dragged Juan'er into the water, what position does he have to speak.

"See if it's this." Mrs. He beckoned Xi Ning to show the letter to Mrs. He.

The eldest lady saw it at a glance, "Yes, yes, this is what my mother wrote to me."

"According to the rules, you shouldn't exist." Mrs. He looked at the pale Qiongjuan, then turned to look at Grandpa He, "Do you think so?"

Since ancient times, it has been stipulated that concubines cannot have concubines.

"But I always thought I was sorry for you. I pretended I didn't see you doing this secretly. But now listen, mother? How many mothers are there in this He Mansion?" Mrs. He said coldly.

"It's because I'm not strict enough to be restrained, and I'm not thoughtful enough." Grandpa He sighed: "But Juan'er took care of all the big and small things in the mansion during your stay in the ancestral hall.

Mrs. He saw that Grandpa He was still partial to the matter, so she didn't bother to continue to argue with him.

Turning to ask Qiongjuan, "Now you have nothing to argue with."

Qiongjuan opened her mouth, but in the end she could only say 'wronged' in a pale voice.

"The matter is not over yet," Mrs. He swept over the serious-looking people below, "Does your lineage always poison you when you encounter anything?"

"He Xing, don't you think so?"
