Master of Rebirth

Jin Li obviously didn't expect Lu Xi to say this suddenly, and he was very embarrassed.Subconsciously, he looked at it in surprise, or waited for the crowd to take a look, and quickly pulled Lu Xi's sleeve to deny it: "You drink too much, don't talk nonsense."

"Where am I talking nonsense." Lucy really drank too much, and talked too much than usual, "It's fine for others, I lived in the same room with you for so long, still can't understand? You like Ying Miss Ying is a lice on the bald man's head, it's obvious. It's just because of her identity, and because she likes the young master, she dare not say it clearly..."

When Zhen Yingying was mentioned, Zhao Jing's face was also very ugly.The disgusting things that Zhen Yingying did last time in Lanting Garden are still vivid in his memory.Zhao Jing never forgot that Zhen Yingying used the portrait Wang Qi drew for him to pretend to be her own in front of so many people, intending to use her reputation as an unmarried girl to coerce him into accepting her feelings.Fortunately, Zhao Ke recognized Wang Qi's handwriting in time, which ended Zhen Yingying's farce.

Lu Xi was still chattering, not paying attention to Zhao Jing's already gloomy face.

Although he had made it clear to Wang Qi that he would not accept Zhen Yingying, Zhao Jing still didn't want to bring up these bad things in front of Wang Qi, so as not to upset him.

Before Zhao Jing could interrupt, he heard Lu Xi change the subject, and continued, "Jinli, I have wanted to persuade you for a long time. Now the young master is already deeply in love with the prince and his wife, Miss Yingying There is no play at all. You should go and confess to her, and save yourself a lifetime of regrets."

Very satisfied with the word "deep love between husband and wife", most of Zhao Jing's original dissatisfaction disappeared immediately.He secretly grabbed Wang Qi's hand under the table, looked at Jinli and said with a smile: "I knew that Miss Zhen had countless admirers in the army, but I didn't expect Jinli to be one of them. No wonder that time in Lanting Yuan, you know that Miss Zhen will be so anxious after leaving early. It's a pity that I was too dull at the time, and I didn't realize your feelings for Miss Zhen."

"Young Master misunderstood...Subordinate...Subordinate..." Jinli was incoherent for a moment, and immediately said: "Miss Zhen is too rude. We all came from Sichuan, and this subordinate is also afraid that she will cause gossip. About the matter at that time, I hope the young master and the prince don't care about her."

Zhao Jing teased: "Look, you even said you don't like Miss Zhen, and the tone you speak in favor of her is completely treating her as one of your own."

"Young master is all about the prince, so it's not surprising that he didn't find Jinli's thoughts! Don't talk about young master, even the other brothers rarely know about it." Lucy said proudly: "To tell you the truth, As early as in Sichuan, I discovered that Jinli liked Miss Yingying."

Lucy spoke out loudly, and a group of people also booed, "How did you find out? Tell me quickly."

"Do you still remember that Ms. Yingying gave some handkerchiefs to the brothers?" After taking a sip of wine, Lucy said in a slightly exaggerated way: "Although the ones given to us are exactly the same, they are not as good as those of the young master. But Jinli cherishes that handkerchief very much, and wears it close to her body every day, and takes it out to have a look at it from time to time. That look, tsk tsk, is very affectionate."

"Oh, it turned out that Jinli liked Miss Yingying as early as that time. You are so mean, you actually kept us a secret." Yan Wu took Jinli's wine glass with a smile, "No, no, no. , you have to punish yourself with three cups."

"Then what happened later? What happened later?" The others asked gossipingly, seeing the joke as a big deal.

"Later..." Lu Xi glanced at Zhao Jing complainingly, and continued: "Later in Pingyao County, the handkerchief was given to Lianyi by the young master as a token, and Jin Li was very sad for a long time. "

After Lu Xi's reminder, Zhao Jing finally remembered this matter, and his heart was filled with self-blame.How could he have forgotten that the night he gave the handkerchief, he already knew from Xiuwen that Jinli liked Zhen Yingying.At that time, he was still thinking about finding a chance to return the handkerchief to Jinli in the future.It's a pity that so many things happened later that he actually forgot about it.Thinking of what he said to Jinli just now, Zhao Jing felt even more guilty.

"Brother, I'm really sorry." Zhao Jing knew that he was sorry for Jinli, so he quickly stood up and apologized, "I actually forgot such an important thing, if it wasn't for Lu Xi's reminder, I wouldn't have remembered it now."

"Lu Xi drank too much, young master, please don't listen to his nonsense." Jinli couldn't sit still for a long time, and quickly covered Lu Xi's mouth with one hand, dragged him up with the other, and said with an embarrassed expression: "I'll go to the hospital first." Send him back to rest."

After leaving these words, Jinli dragged Lu Xi away.

"It seems that giving Lianyi handkerchief is real." After Jinli and Lu Xi left, Wang Qi said coldly: "I said why Lianyi is so devoted to you, everyone has gone to the middle of Sichuan, and they still want to chase you back. So It was you who did something that made people miss you!"

Normally, Wang Qi would not attack in public.But thinking that Zhao Jing actually gave Lianyi a handkerchief, he became very angry.You know, a handkerchief is a personal thing for a person, and it is usually a token of love between young lovers.No matter whose handkerchief belonged to it, since it was sent from Zhao Jing, it must be attributed to him.

It is rare for Wang Qi to speak in a strange way, obviously very angry.Zhao Jing smiled bitterly, she couldn't tell whether she was flustered because of his misunderstanding, or happy because he was jealous.

"Don't listen to Lu Xi's nonsense, there is something else going on in this matter, it's not what you think at all." Holding Wang Qi's hand again, feeling that he was going to withdraw, Zhao Jing panicked and explained quickly.

Xiuwen also said: "My lord, my subordinate was there at the time and can testify. This is really a misunderstanding. That year in Pingyao County, Lianyi was convicted and imprisoned, and the young master sneaked into the prison to see her. At that time, Lianyi committed suicide several times. Her body is weak and her mind is unconscious, and the young master was afraid that she would continue to commit suicide after she woke up, so he wanted to leave a token. Unfortunately, he didn't have anything suitable on him, so he borrowed the handkerchief from Jinli."

"Young Lord is so caring!" Wang Qi sneered, then turned to look at Xiuwen and said, "General Xiuwen said that Lianyi was convicted and imprisoned, but when she poisoned Linglongzhai?"

After hearing this, Xiuwen secretly complained.I wanted to rescue Zhao Jing, but I didn't expect that which pot would not be opened and which pot was lifted, but instead poked Wang Qi's scar, making him even more angry.How could he have forgotten that back then Lianyi and Wang Long conspired to poison Linglongzhai's dim sum and blame Wang Qi.Although Wang Qi was cleared afterwards, Linglongzhai collapsed because of this, and Wang Qi had to leave her hometown and wander around.

"Don't be angry, drink some water first." Zhao Jing gave Xiuwen a reproachful look, and Zhao Jing hurriedly refilled Wang Qi's tea, and the smile on his face became even more bitter.

Xu Baichuan couldn't absolve himself of the blame for bringing Lianyi from Sichuan to the capital, and if he continued talking, it would inevitably set him on fire.Seeing that the situation was not right, Xu Baichuan coughed quickly, and said, "Young Master, it's getting late, everyone has something to do tomorrow, so I'll take my leave first."

After saying this, everyone who knew each other stood up and left.

Yanwu was dragged by Xiuwen, and followed a group of people out of the house with a puzzled expression on his face.It wasn't until he walked far away that he asked in confusion, "Brother, why did we all come out? We've only eaten half of the meal and haven't finished the wine yet."

"You, when will you be able to have some insight." Xiuwen rolled his eyes at him, and said with hatred: "Just like the situation just now, if you continue to stay, you will only watch the little prince make a fool of himself. Why, do you still want to see the little prince?" Is Lord Hou kneeling on the washboard?"

Yan Wu subconsciously imagined the scene of Zhao Jing kneeling on the washboard, and was actually a little eager to try.He immediately shook his head, shaking off this dangerous thought, and muttered: "I did drink too much, I'd better go back to sleep."

After everyone left, Wang Qi also got up to leave.Zhao Jing immediately turned into an octopus, and entangled Wang Qi, "Qiong Ju, I was wrong, don't go."

"What's wrong with you?" Wang Qi said with a sullen face, "Whoever you like to save, and whomever you like, and what you like to give away, I'm not someone like you, so how can I control you?"

After hearing this angry words, Zhao Jing panicked even more, and hurriedly said: "Of course you have the right to control me. Qiongju, I was really wrong. I shouldn't have distrusted you back then, and I shouldn't have secretly gone to the prison to watch Ripple. She has done so many things to hurt you, and I still protect her, what a bastard I am! Qiongju, hit me. As long as you can vent your anger, let me do anything. "

The more he talked, the more he felt that he was not a thing, and Zhao Jing wished he could whip himself hard.He knelt in front of Wang Qi, grabbed Wang Qi's hand, and was about to slap himself in the face.

Wang Qi was already soft-hearted towards Zhao Jing, seeing him like this, most of his anger disappeared.

Trying to pull Zhao Jing up, Wang Qi half-truthfully said: "Okay, okay, I was just joking with you, I didn't really blame you."

"But I blame myself." Zhao Jing insisted on kneeling on the ground, hugged Wang Qi's waist, and said more guiltily: "I blame myself for being stupid. I don't trust you to misunderstand you, and you have suffered so much. Even if Became the little duke of Zhengxihou's mansion, but still dragged you into danger."

Knowing that what Zhao Jing was talking about was forging the imperial decree, Wang Qi felt very uncomfortable.Although Zhao Jing didn't complain about anything, Wang Qi knew that it had always been his wish to avenge his mother.Zhao Jing is definitely not reconciled to dying halfway because Zhou Ying threatened his life just because he missed the goal now.

Seeing that Wang Qi stopped talking, Zhao Jing was afraid that he would think too much, and hurriedly said: "Qiong Ju, you must not be burdened. You saved me and the entire Zhengxihou Mansion. If it wasn't for helping us, you wouldn't I am in danger of my life. It is my duty to protect you, I owe you too much, not to mention that I cannot take revenge, even if I lose my life, it is my duty."

"Get up, don't kneel." Seeing that Zhao Jing guessed her own thoughts, Wang Qi didn't want him to blame herself, so she changed the subject softly, "I didn't think much, I was just angry with myself. We have known each other for so long I haven't even sent you any tokens of love for a long time."

Zhao Jing hurriedly said: "You don't need to give anything, just give me yourself. Besides, why is there no token of love between us? Don't we have jade rings?"

When mentioning the jade finger, Wang Qi was stunned for a moment, and Zhao Jing also regretted it.

He once gave Wang Qi two jade ring fingers, one white and one blue.The white one was bought for Wang Qi in Pingyao County by Zhao Jing when he was still Zhao Aman. Although it is not expensive, it represents the purest heart of a young boy.But that finger was smashed by Wang Qi cruelly.Although the misunderstanding has long since been resolved, and Zhao Jing also knew that what Wang Qi did back then was not intentional, but every time he thinks of the scene where his finger is broken, his heart still feels as if it has been pricked by numerous needles.

As for the Bi's, it's even more unbearable.It was given to Wang Qi by Zhao Jing after she became a young master. Although it was priceless, it was full of insults and calculations.Later, under the pressure of reality, he left Wang Qi cruelly, and Wang Qi returned the finger.In Zhao Jing's opinion, neither of these two jade ring fingers left him any good memories.It must be the same for Wang Qi.

Looking up at Wang Qi secretly, seeing him sullen and silent, thinking that he also thought of the sad things in the past.Zhao Jing regretted it very much, wishing he could slap himself in the face.

But this time Zhao Jing was thinking about it, but Wang Qi was thinking about something else.Although the white jade wrench that Zhao Jing gave him was broken, he carefully put away the pieces.Later, Wang Qi asked Dong Jue to find a skilled craftsman to glue the fingers together again.Although there are cracks, they are still there.

Wang Qi remembered that after the finger was glued, he carefully put it in a box in the study, and never had a chance to show it to Zhao Jing.If Zhao Jing saw that the wrench was carefully collected by him, he would be very happy.It's a pity that the box has been kept in Pingyao County, and Qi Xing is also in the capital right now, so it's inconvenient to go back and pick it up.Another day, I still need to discuss with Wang Sheng, and ask him to find a trustworthy person to go to Pingyao County to deliver the box to the capital.

"Hey, don't mention this." Seeing that Wang Qi has been silent, Zhao Jing was afraid that he would be angry, so he quickly said: "Love tokens are secondary, as long as we are together. It's getting late, let's go back to rest Bar."

Thinking of giving Zhao Jing a pleasant surprise, Wang Qi didn't say much, so she smiled and said, "Okay."

"Are you really going to let Shen Yutang go?" On the way back, Wang Qi asked softly, "Avenging your mother has always been your wish."

"Compared to you, everything else is not important." After Zhao Jing finished speaking as it should, she was afraid that Wang Qi would still have a burden, so she quickly added: "Besides, I let Shen Yutang go, not all because of you. Father has already I said in front of the emperor that the person who forged the imperial decree had been secretly executed by him long ago. If you confessed at this time, my father would also be charged with deceiving the emperor. As long as Shen Yutang is still alive, Zhou Ying can be silenced Don't worry, now that Shen Yutang has lost her natal family and her hard-earned status, her life would have been worse than death. I hope she can live a little longer, so that she can savor the feeling of fear and precarity."

Wang Qi sighed, and said: "Even if you are willing to let Shen Yutang go, I'm afraid Granny Ma may not be willing, you still have to explain it to her clearly."

"You don't have to worry. After all, this matter involves my father and the entire Zhengxihou Mansion. I believe grandma will understand." Zhao Jing said: "In a few days, I will ask Brother Xu to visit her."

……

As soon as Jinli stepped into the gate of Pozi Ma's house, he saw Xu Baichuan coming out.

"Jinli, why are you here?" Seeing Jinli, Xu Baichuan was obviously taken aback.

Mrs. Ma is usually a low-key person, and she doesn't want to have too much involvement with Zhao Jing in the open.Therefore, except for Zhao Jing and a few cronies around Xu Baichuan, people from Zhengxihou's Mansion never came to disturb him easily.

"I'll take a look at the old lady." Jinli didn't expect to meet Xu Baichuan here, with a trace of embarrassment on his face, he said in a secretive way: "I think Miss Yingying and the old lady have always been close, so I might come over Look at the old lady, so..."

Thinking of what Lu Xi said at the celebration banquet that day, Xu Baichuan smiled clearly, and said, "Miss Zhen didn't come over today, if you want to see her, you might as well go to Zhen's mansion to meet General Zhen."

"What Brother Xu said is true." Jin Li said embarrassedly: "Since the younger brother is here, let's take a look at the old lady, so as not to be rude."

"Okay." Xu Baichuan said: "But the old lady is a little tired, so don't stay too long."

Jin Li said: "Brother Xu, don't worry, the younger brother will leave after saying hello, and won't disturb the old lady's rest."

Nodding his head, Xu Baichuan left.Jinli entered the small courtyard, and saw Mingmei waiting outside with her face drooping.

"Master Jinli." Mingmei saw Jinli, although she was in a bad mood, she did not dare to be rude.After paying her respects, Mingmei said with a troubled face: "Don't blame my lord, grandma is tired, I'm afraid it's not convenient to see guests."

Jinli glanced into the room, and said with a little regret: "Then I will come back another day to pay my respects to the old lady."

"Mingmei, who's here?" At this moment, Mrs. Ma's voice suddenly came from the room.

Mingmei hurriedly said: "It's Lord Jinli from Zhengxihou Mansion."

"Invite him in quickly," said Mrs. Ma.

Mingmei was very surprised that Mrs. Ma would be so enthusiastic about Jinli.But she was really afraid of being scolded by Mrs. Ma, so she didn't dare to delay any longer, so she quickly raised the curtain and invited Jinli in.

"Greetings to the old lady." Jin Li respectfully knelt down and saluted.

Mrs. Ma was leaning sleepily on the soft couch. When she saw Jinli coming in through the bead curtain, she sat up and said, "Get up quickly, please sit down. You are welcome here. Mingmei, open the bead curtain and let Jinli close." Tea."

"Thank you, old lady." Jin Li said.

After the brightness subsided, Mrs. Ma said: "I want to thank you, and I thank you. I heard from Xiao Chuan that if it wasn't for your help this time, there would not be so much evidence to prove the crimes that Shen Yutang committed to the young lady back then. The old lady Be polite."

After saying this, Mrs. Ma got up to salute Jinli.

Jinli dared not let her salute, so he hurried up a few steps to support Mrs. Ma, and said: "The old lady has broken down with her subordinates, and this is what the subordinates should do."

Smiling, she asked Jinli to help her to sit down, and Pozi Ma said softly, "You are quite capable. I heard from Xiaochuan and Xiuwen that you even found the fake Taoist priest who gave Shen Yutang the medicine for conceiving children. With him The confession is more proof that Shen Yutang's miscarriage was self-inflicted and has nothing to do with the lady. But I am curious, Shen Yutang and the Shen family have been searching for so many years but have not found the Taoist priest, how did you find it?"

"The old lady has won the award, and I am ashamed of my subordinates." Jinli said modestly: "In fact, the Taoist priest has been found by the Shen family, but they didn't tell Shen Yutang. Shen... Wuzhu saw that the Taoist priest was deceiving people. He had a good idea, so he kept it for his own use. His subordinates were ordered to interrogate Wu Zhu's father and son's cronies, and learned of the Taoist priest's whereabouts from them. Thinking that he was an important witness to rehabilitate Mrs. Shen, he notified Xu Brother."

The real Shen Rongchang was replaced by Wuzhu, Mrs. Ma heard Xu Baichuan say it, and thinking about it now, she also feels a little emotional.She sighed, and revealed the real intention of inviting Jin Li in, "You have intentions, but it's a pity that you have worked so hard to collect so much evidence, but there is no use for it. Jin Li, since you know that Shen Yutang is the one who murdered Miss , obviously Ah Man didn't treat you as an outsider. Tell grandma honestly, why didn't Ah Man let me pursue Shen Yutang? Doesn't he want to avenge his mother?"

"This..." Jinli said with some embarrassment: "What did Young Master and Brother Xu tell you?"

Ma Pozi said shyly: "During this time, I haven't seen Ah Man at all. Xiao Chuan said that Zhou Ying took advantage of Zheng Xihou and threatened Ah Man not to pursue Shen Yutang, otherwise he would go to the emperor to sue. The government will be implicated. As for the reason, what Xiao Chuan said was vague, and I don't understand."

The forgery of the imperial decree is related to the face of the royal family, so naturally Xu Baichuan would not tell Mrs. Ma.Although Xu Baichuan didn't elaborate, he also clarified the truth.

"Brother Xu will not lie to you." Jin Li persuaded: "Don't think too much about it. As for revenge, we can wait for another chance."

With a wry smile, Mrs. Ma said: "You won't lie to me? Oh, although I am old, I am not old-fashioned. Wu Zhu took the place of the master, deceived the emperor for so many years, and joined forces with his son to rebel and committed the crime of Zhu Jiuzu." Even Concubine Shen Gui and the Seventh Prince were implicated, not to mention a mere Shen Yutang? Zheng Xihou exposed Wu Zhu's plot, saved the emperor's life, and made such a great contribution, what else could Zhou Ying do? Get hold of him? Jinli, tell me the truth, is there something else hidden in this?"

"This... this..." Facing Mrs. Ma's pleading eyes, Jin Li stammered: "Old Madam, it's really hard for my subordinates to say more about this matter, you should ask Young Master and Brother Xu."

Jinli's words made Mrs. Ma even more convinced that he must know the inside story.

With a sad smile, Mrs. Ma said: "I want to ask Ah Man, but he doesn't see me at all. Now even Xiao Chuan is divorced from me, and he doesn't even say a word to me. Jin Li, grandma begs you, you just Tell me. It is my lifelong wish to avenge Miss, but Zheng Xihou is kind to Ah Man. If Lord Hou is really involved, I will definitely not do ungrateful things. But if it is not the case, I will die with regret. Now Ah Both Man and Xiao Chuan have lied to me, only you can tell me the truth. If you also lied to me, I will die here, and I can go underground to make amends to Miss."

"Old madam, why are you doing this?" Seeing that Mrs. Ma was in a hurry, Jin Li hurriedly said: "Young Master has his own difficulties, it's not that he doesn't want to take revenge."

Mrs. Ma said: "What are his difficulties, you tell me. If I don't find out today, I will go to Zhengxihou Mansion to ask Master Hou."

"Hey...well..." Seeing that Mrs. Ma was determined to find out, Jinli sighed and said, "Zhou Ying did threaten the young master, but it was not because of the master, but because ... Prince Wang."

"Wang Qi?!" Madam Ma's complexion changed, and Jinli continued: "It seems that something about the prince fell into Zhou Ying's hands, and Zhou Ying threatened the young master with the life of the prince. In order to save The young master had no choice but to submit to the prince's life."

Ma Pozi's face was already distorted with anger, she gritted her teeth and said, "Wang Qi! It's Wang Qi again! I knew that Zhou Ying could have any reason to fall into Zhou Ying's hands. It turned out to be Wang Qi! He Bewitched Ah Man not to mention it, but actually made Ah Man ignore his mother's bloody feud! It's really... really..."

"Old lady, don't get angry." Seeing Mrs. Ma looking like she was going to eat people, Jinli was obviously frightened. He quickly knelt down and said with great regret: "Old lady, my little lord, I have to remind you not to I want you to know because I am afraid that you will be angry. If you let the young master know that it was the subordinate who disclosed this matter to you, the subordinate..."

Forcibly suppressing the constant anger in her heart, Mrs. Ma calmed down, and then she looked at Jinli and said, "You are doing my best, how could I do something ungrateful? Don't worry, God knows this matter, you know me Yes. Now that I know that there is no problem with Zheng Xihou, I feel confident."

"Old madam, what do you want to do?" Jinli asked cautiously, startled by Mrs. Ma's superficial calmness.

Smiling, Mrs. Ma said, "I'm an old woman, what can I do?"

Still worried, Jin Li said again in relief: "Don't worry, old lady, the current Dali Temple officials are different from before. They are all good officials who do practical things for the people. As long as we have enough evidence, it will be the same even if we don't need the little Marquis." It can cure Shen Yutang's crimes. You just need to wait for the opportunity, and you will surely avenge Mrs. Shen."

"Waiting for an opportunity?" Madam Ma said with a wry smile, "I've been waiting for so many years, and now I'm half buried in the ground. I don't know if I can wait until that day in my lifetime."

Seeing the sadness that Mrs. Ma said, Jinli hurriedly said: "Don't say that, you have to think for the best in everything. I heard that Shen Yutang's health has been bad since the collapse of the Shen family, and I'm afraid she won't live well for a few days. Maybe We don't need to make a move, Shen Yutang will enter the Palace of Hades first."

After hearing this, Mrs. Ma's eyes widened, her hands tightly clutched the mattress under her body, and her body was trembling slightly, as if she was desperately suppressing her raging anger.

Jinli turned a blind eye to this, but said with a smile: "Madam, please rest, this subordinate is leaving."

After leaving Mrs. Ma, Jinli strolled on the street, and soon, an unremarkable person followed.Sensing that someone was following her, Jin Li was not in a hurry, but turned around and walked into a secluded alley.Seeing this, the man also chased after him.

"Greetings to the master." Standing still in the alley, the visitor saluted Jinli with a very respectful attitude.

Jinli ordered: "In the past few days, you have paid close attention to Madam Ma's actions. Once she takes Cuiyun to Dali Temple to beat the drums and complain, make sure Shen Yutang and Zhou Ying know about it as soon as possible."

"Yes." The man took the order, turned and left the alley without saying much.

Jin Li waited for his figure to disappear completely, and then walked onto the street, rejoining the flow of people coming and going.

The author has something to say:

Re-read the previous article and found a BUG, ​​Zhao Jing already knew that Jinli liked Zhen Yingying, but I forgot (cover face)
