Get on the wrong sedan chair and marry the right wolf

In Ling Qiu's extensive letter, he briefly talked about Wei Yueyan's decision to take him back home and the recent situation, and the rest of it was all about his own words with his sister.Ling Xueji leaned against the stone table with the letter silk, took a bite of the hibiscus cake and read a line of the letter. After reading the letter, she was almost done with the dessert.

"I didn't expect that Wei Yueyan had a bit of a conscience, and actually took her sister home to visit relatives." Ling Xueji hugged a jar of Huadiao wine on the stone table, her face turned red before she drank much, and the lotus cake beside her was leftovers. With the fragrance of wine, Ling Xueji remembered that when the girl in the kitchen handed her the snacks, she specially reminded her not to eat too much.I didn't expect that I was so happy reading my sister's letter that I forgot about it for a while... This is miserable...

I don't know if daddy is doing well recently, this time I have to let my sister talk to me... um...

Ling Xueji stuffed the white silk sent by her sister into her skirt, and she herself lay on the cool stone table. Huadiao wine was spilled on the table without realizing it, and the fragrance of hibiscus wine cake was still spreading in the air... Ling Xueji thought about replying to the letter With the content of the content, the garden is full of wine and flowers, and gradually sinks into a dream.

------------

"Ma'am caught cold last night, go and make a bowl of ginger soup for her to get rid of the cold."

"Yes."

"The old matriarch is ill, don't spread this matter to Xiyuan, lest the old matriarch not be able to recuperate with peace of mind."

"Yes."

"Okay, let's go."

After Ji Jin gave the order, he went to check on Ling Xueji's situation. Ling Xueji, who had been in a coma for nearly a day, had woken up.

"Collection." Ling Xueji's head was still a little dizzy after a hangover, and he subconsciously called out when he saw a figure vaguely reflected outside the bed curtain.

One side of the smoky purple curtain was gently received into the curtain hook, revealing a gentle oval face behind, Ji Jin helped Ling Xueji up, and took a side pillow to cushion her back.

"Madam must be hungry after sleeping for nearly a day. I asked the small kitchen to prepare some meals. Since Madam is awake, how about I send them in?"

"Yeah." Ling Xueji nodded, and was about to ask why there was so much wine in the plate of hibiscus cake yesterday, when Ji Jin had already fetched clothes for her to change.

Since the matter of the two brides getting into the wrong sedan chair was confirmed, the servants of the Shangshu Mansion sealed up all the custom-made clothes, asked the new lady's favorite color, and then re-selected the materials to order more than a dozen sets of regular clothes and several dresses.Ling Xueji touched the begonia red silk satin on her body, and the smooth and cool touch between her fingers was very nice. She was born delicate and bright, looking forward to flying, and she also likes bright colors such as goose yellow and bright red.After wearing it, it seems to illuminate the whole room.

"Madam really suits this color. I'll have someone make a few more for Madam tomorrow." Jiji praised with a smile while serving dishes to Ling Xueji.

Holding the chopsticks, Ling Xueji tore off pieces of meat from the chicken legs and chewed them in his mouth. The five-spice chicken was very delicious, and after chewing and swallowing, there was still some aroma of stir-fried ingredients on his tongue.However, Ling Xueji lost his mind while eating.

"What's wrong with Ma'am?" Ji Jin just put a piece of tender and smooth fish into Ling Xueji's bowl, "Is it because these dishes are not to your liking?"

"Collection." Ling Xueji looked over suddenly, "I want to go out."

Ji Jin paused Bu Cai's movements, frowned her beautiful brows, and pursed her lips as if hesitantly said, "But...madam, in Jinling City, official women who are newly married for less than three months must be accompanied by their husbands to go out. , I know that it is very difficult for Madam to be bored in the Shangshu Mansion all day long, but I really can't help Madam."

"I know this." Ling Xueji grabbed Jiji's hand, "But I really can't stand it anymore." As he spoke, he moved his slightly red nose, "Sister Jijin~ You see, I'm already sick from boredom now Now, if you continue to be bored like this, it's not as simple as getting sick~"

Ji Jin looked at those eyes that were radiant when she first arrived, full of resentment, she knew that her wife was very active, and it was really uncomfortable to be bored in the mansion for so many days without anyone to talk to.But I can't take her out at the risk of taking her out. More importantly, as my lord is the secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, their every move is watched by many pairs of eyes in Jinling City. go in.It will be dangerous then.

Ling Xueji saw her hesitation, rolled his eyes and shook Jiji's arm with a giggle, "Yes, yes, you take me to find Qu Quan, isn't that all right?"

"Mrs. to find the adults?"

Seeing that Jiji's attitude was a little loose, Ling Xueji immediately stepped up, "Yes, yes, it should be reasonable for me to go to her."

"But what reason does Madam have to see your lord? You must be busy with official business if you don't go home these days."

"Eh, I..." Ling Xueji glanced at the dining table, his eyes lit up, he picked up a chicken leg and smiled at Jiji, "I'm going to deliver her food!"

----------

The bustle of Jinling City at night has faded away, and the glowing lights on the night market have returned to sleep.Under the dimly lit lights, the gate of Jinwuwei Youjie Yamen looks a little strange and cold, making people afraid to approach it from a distance.

In fact, Ling Xueji regretted it as soon as she went out. She originally wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of delivering food to Qu Quan to sneak to the night market in Jinling City to have fun, but she didn't expect that Jinling's curfew was so early. You must know that this time is the busiest night market in Wu County Wow when it's hot.But everything came out, followed by a steady collection, she Ling Xueji couldn't find any tricks even if she turned the world upside down.Looking at the food box in his hand, Ling Xueji walked towards the vermilion lacquered door with his head down.Ji Jin asked the bearers to wait outside the yamen, while he followed his wife closely.

"who?"

Although it was already night, the guards of Jinwuwei Youjie Yamen were still in place because the Lord Minister of the Ministry of Justice lived in there temporarily for the past few days.Jiji stepped forward and nodded slightly to the Jinwu Guard guarding the gate, and introduced Ling Xueji to them, "This is Mrs. Shangshu."

The two Jinwu guards guarding the gate did not expect that the charming and beautiful girl next to Jiji was actually Mrs. Qu's wife, so they immediately put away their weapons, and went forward to salute, "I'm impolite for a humble job, and I pay my respects to Mrs. Shangshu."

"Get up." Ling Xueji naturally had no pretensions, and asked with a food box, "Where is Mr. Qu...?"

"Oh, come with me, madam."

The gate of the yamen had already been opened, and the Jinwu guard stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture, Ling Xueji nodded to him, and entered first.

Turning left and right until Ling Xueji almost fainted, the simple and honest Jin Wuwei finally brought Ling Xueji to a small isolated courtyard. "Ma'am, this is it."

"Thank you." Ling Xueji was about to go inside after speaking, but was stopped by that person.Turning around with some doubts, he asked, "Is there anything else?"

There was some hesitation on the Jinwu Guard's face, the candlelight in the lantern trembled slightly, and the faint light reflected on the man's breastplate. "If madam wants to deliver food, it's better to let the humble job do it for you. Here... madam should not go in."

"Huh? Why?" Ling Xueji was even more curious when he heard what he said, "Could it be that there is a heavenly palace inside? No one is allowed to enter."

"Madam." Jin Wuwei lowered his head slightly, and said frankly, "This is a morgue."

"What!" Ling Xueji stepped back half a step, with an extremely surprised expression.Seeing her like this, the Jin Wuwei thought that he had frightened Mrs. Shangshu, and felt very guilty. After all, Mrs. Shangshu still looks like a little girl.Just about to say something to make up for it, Ling Xueji said again.

"Qu Quan doesn't go home during this time, so he just lives here?" The overly surprised emotion made her automatically filter out all unnecessary words, and she didn't even care about calling Qu Quan's name.The majestic third-rank Minister of the Ministry of Punishment actually stayed in the morgue for days, is this beyond the imagination of ordinary people?

The Jin Wuwei finally understood what the lady Shangshu was shocked about, and explained with a sigh of relief: "Oh madam, you are worrying too much, the smell of corpses is too heavy to live in here, and Lord Shangshu lives next to us." At the end, he seemed to think of something He added, "Madam, don't worry, our lord is a man." It seemed a little strange to say that, so he added, "Our lord has already married a wife."

Ling Xueji: "..."

"Our lord is devoted to his wife."

"..."

"Oh, our adults marry male wives."

"..."

Ji Ji couldn't stand listening to it, so he stepped forward to express his gratitude to the Jinwu Guard and sent him away.Ling Xueji rubbed his head and looked at Jiji with an awkward smile for a moment, then shook his head in unison and walked into the courtyard.

There is a room on each of the three sides of the mortuary, and there are two side rooms next to each of the three rooms. The rooms on both sides are dark and dimly lit, and the doors are nailed with wooden strips as if something is sealed. Only the room facing the courtyard door The door was opened, and there was a faint candlelight shining through it, and the lantern in Ling Xueji's hand shone brightly like a star in the long dark night.

Ling Xueji noticed that Jijin's face was slightly frightened, and patted her on the shoulder, "Sister Jijin, why don't you go in. Wait for me in the sedan chair outside the yamen."

"How can I leave my wife and go alone?" Ji Jin was reluctant to say anything, until Ling Xueji pushed him out of the courtyard gate, saying that he would spend the night with Qu Quan and let her go back home first, and she left with peace of mind.

After giving the lantern to Jiji, Ling Xueji clapped his hands and picked up the completely cold food box on the ground, turned around and walked into the candlelit room.As soon as he entered the room, an indescribable smell came over his face, Ling Xueji quickly covered his nose with a handkerchief, annoyed that he had been trapped in such a place.He was about to drop the food box and leave, but he caught a glimpse of the candle that looked dark outside the house and also dark inside the house.

On the long table carved with pear blossom wood, a rosewood-colored figure was lying on the desk.The ink stains in the inkstone were not yet dry, and the case files circled with cinnabar were scattered all over the floor, and a flickering candle shone down, casting a layer of light orange soft light on the man's simple blue hair.
