cold hearted son-in-law

At the beginning of September, the weather was gloomy and the autumn rain was lingering for several days. Chu Yunxi held an oil-paper umbrella and stood outside the cell waiting for Xiao Wei to come out.The prince was also dressed in casual clothes and led his entourage, standing in front of her left, looking up.

Xiao Wei's matter was not troublesome to deal with. After visiting the prison a few days ago, I learned that Xiao Wei was only detained and not convicted. It was only because the daughter of the eldest princess, the county master Qingxi, that she was not allowed to perform an autopsy after the death of the princess. Doctor Xiaowei died. In fact, Xiaowei treated people in the afternoon. As a result, the county lord died that night. Princess Dachang relied on her husband being the left commander of the Imperial Forest Army and a close minister of the emperor. Xiaowei was arrested and taken into custody, and rumors were released that Xiaowei had cured her daughter to death.

Jing Zhaoyin knew that Xiao Wei was Chu Yunxi's apprentice, and the eldest princess also sent someone to pass on the message. Considering the clan relationship with the eldest princess, she didn't go to Jing Zhaoyin's face to protect him, but let her Try to stall for as long as possible.At that time, news of Chu Yunxi's victory over the Hu people came at the border, and Jing Zhaoyin also wanted to avoid crimes. Although he took people into custody to appease the eldest princess, he never charged Xiaowei with deliberation, and it was not used. After passing the sentence, but Chu Yunxi had a long journey back to Beijing. After walking for about a month, the environment in the cell was dirty and the food was poor. Xiao Wei lost a lot of weight in the prison.

"Miss Chu, don't be afraid, it's all right now." When the prince saw Xiao Wei coming out, he greeted Xiao Wei cheerfully, and said gently to Xiao Wei.

Chu Yunxi was about to step forward to take a good look at her little apprentice. After hearing this, she only looked at the prince's back with contempt. Which eye was afraid of Miss Chu?Glancing at Jing Zhaoyin, who was bowing and flattering, and the government officials who were kneeling on the ground, Chu Yunxi stood still, and Xiao Wei, who looked far away, looked calm, and began to size up the prince.

The crown prince seems to be the same age as Xiao Wei, he is fifteen this year, if the empress hadn't kept her filial piety at the funeral, they should have married now.Moreover, he was too active in busying Xiaowei's affairs. Chu Yunxi couldn't see the prince's expression, so he just frowned and carefully looked at Xiaowei. He was thin and cold, and his attitude towards the prince was also polite And Shudan, he was relieved.There is a child in my heart who is in love with puppies and wants to persuade her earnestly, but it turns out that it was just a disobedient kid from another family who stuffed her with a love letter, and her own child is still well-behaved and sensible, and no one needs to worry about it.

Chu Yunxi softened the expression on his face, looked at Xiao Wei who was approaching her, smiled at her comfortingly, pulled her under his umbrella, and was trying to find a reason to send away this person who came here earlier than her The prince, a carriage approached from one side and stopped beside them.

"Ms. Qin Zhang has met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Lord Chu. Xiaowei, congratulations on your safe escape..." A woman in a hairpin skirt and beautiful attire got off the carriage. The smile also showed a bit of bitterness.

"Madam Qin, you don't need to be too polite. I have always heard that Madam and Miss Chu have a very good relationship. I never thought that I would come here in person this time." The prince was gentle and polite, he hurriedly raised his hand and spoke first.

"Ms. Qin's wife Zhang? Is it Qin Jue's wife? The one who is about to jump into the river?" Chu Yunxi was surprised, and glanced at Xiao Weiyi, who was nodding beside him, before nodding and murmured, "No wonder it looks familiar when I look at it." !"

After hearing Chu Yunxi's words, the woman nodded embarrassedly and said, "...Yes! I have to thank Lord Chu for saving my life."

"Oh, oh, you're welcome, it's raining and cold, why don't you talk in another place?" Chu Yunxi suggested, and the crown prince nodded in agreement. Mrs. Zhang came to see Chu Yunxi, so naturally she had no objection. Xiao Wei nodded to Mrs. Zhang After signaling, he quietly followed behind Chu Yunxi.

A group of people, with three carriages, headed towards Chu Yunxi's former Zhuangyuan Mansion.The crown prince led the guards at the front, Chu Yunxi brought four personal soldiers and green bamboo in the middle, and Zhang's carriage followed behind.

Qingzhu drove the car very steadily, Chu Yunxi and Xiao Wei sat in the car.

"Xiao Wei is responsible for master's teaching, defamed master's name, and made master work hard for Xiao Wei's affairs. Master's kindness is as heavy as a mountain, and Xiao Wei can't repay it. Please punish master." Xiao Wei knelt in the car.

"If you don't want me to lose your life, get up first." Chu Yunxi covered her mouth and coughed a few times.

Xiao Wei obediently sat down at the side, looked at Chu Yunxi in surprise and said, "Master, why is your face pale and sweating?"

"Well, I've been poisoned." Chu Yunxi smiled lightly, and leaned against the wall of the car with his eyes closed to rest after speaking.

"What poison?" Seeing Chu Yunxi's expression, Xiao Wei knew that she didn't want to ask again, but when she heard that it was poison, Xiao Wei felt uneasy, and asked again cautiously.

"It's a poison that neither you nor I can cure." It took Chu Yunxi a long time to spit out such a sentence, he opened his eyes to see Xiao Wei closed it again, pursed his lips after speaking, and lightly bumped his head against the car wall twice, frowning The eyebrows looked helpless.

Xiao Wei stared at her with wide eyes: "Can't heal it?"

Chu Yunxi nodded, and changed the subject: "How can the prince get so close to you?"

"Xiao Wei only met the prince a few times on the road. I heard the prince said something about the eldest princess and the queen. Maybe the prince regards Xiao Wei as a friend, so he will meet him outside the prison today." Xiao Wei lowered her eyebrows and said, He replied with a slightly hoarse voice.

"Try to avoid the prince in the future." Chu Yunxi reminded.

"Yes, Xiaowei remembered." Xiaowei agreed without any hesitation.

"That Mrs. Zhang?" Chu Yunxi wiped the sweat from his forehead. Feeling that the carriage was too stuffy, he pushed the window on one side halfway up, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ms. Zhang asked me to consult her doctor, but she was depressed and lost her appetite. It was not a serious problem. Later, she often asked me to sit in the mansion, so I got to know her better. She is pure and stubborn, and The infatuation is so deep that it has become a heart disease. This time I should come to see the master, probably because Mr. Qin treats her coldly, I want to ask the master for help." Xiaowei explained the matter in detail.

"What can I help her?" Chu Yunxi chuckled, and suddenly thought of the story of the Qingxi County Lord who killed Xiaowei and imprisoned Xiaowei, but the ending was a dead body and two lives What a tragedy, how innocent is the fetus in the womb?Chu Yunxi shook his head and said, "The word love can harm countless people."

"Master, why do you say that? Xiao Wei thinks that falling in love with someone is a kind of luck, and if that person happens to love you, it is a kind of happiness." Xiao Wei is a little shy, but it is the age of a girl's first love, and she has her own feelings about love. His views are not as pessimistic as Chu Yunxi's.Moreover, she also knew Chu Yunxi's identity, and the age difference between the two was almost the same. Xiao Wei was once alone and helpless, but when she met Chu Yunxi later, she remembered the kindness of saving her life and giving him a doctor, and she already regarded Chu Yunxi as a relative in her heart. Some words can be said freely.

"Xiao Wei has someone in mind?" Chu Yunxi teased.

"Not yet, but Xiaowei believes that one day we will meet." Xiaowei said firmly.

"If you really meet, cherish it, but I'm afraid I won't be able to arrange a wedding for you." Chu Yunxi smiled and said casually.

"Master, can't he be cured? We can go find other famous doctors." Xiao Wei stretched out three fingers of her right hand to feel Chu Yunxi's pulse. retracted.

"Xiao Wei, I don't want to die. I still have many things to do, but time is running out." Chu Yunxi closed his eyes.She had died once, so she wanted to live even more, but if she didn't do some things, she might feel uneasy if she lived.

Xiao Wei fell silent, not knowing what to say, for a person who knows that there is no cure for him, and he is about to die at the right age, no matter what others persuade him, it seems a bit false.

In Luohua Lane on Zen Street, the former No. [-] Scholar's Mansion, three carriages stopped in front of the door.

Chu Yunxi led the people who got out of the car to go in, looked at the barren and empty Zhuangyuan Mansion, and touched his nose.She hadn't been to Zhuangyuan's mansion for more than half a year, and since she got married and moved away, she only left two or three servants to take care of it. She didn't expect that the Zhuangyuan's mansion is overgrown with weeds and branches, and it is so dilapidated that there is no smoke.

"This No. [-] Scholar's Mansion is about to become an empty mansion." Chu Yunxi laughed at herself. She brought the prince, Xiao Wei and Mrs. Zhang, as well as a large number of entourages, as if she suddenly broke into a scene painted in ink and wash with a sense of decay and silence. He was average and seemed a bit out of place, so Chu Yunxi called everyone to go directly to the study.

As soon as I reached the door with the double doors wide open, I heard a familiar voice from inside.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, and I'm finally back." The second prince, who was still dressed in black, was sitting at the desk, holding a short knife in his hand, and was cutting a wooden branch. There were still a lot of sharpened sandalwood on the table in front of him. Thick and thin wooden sticks.

"Second brother, what are you doing?" The prince took a few steps forward and asked curiously while looking at the messy stick in front of him.

"Skewers and barbecue." The second prince replied with a cold face.

"How do you know that I'm going to have a barbecue today?" Chu Yunxi approached, picked up a sharpened wooden stick, and nodded with a smile. The wooden stick was smooth and suitable, and it was peeled so much. It's rare for him to have such patience.

"At the beginning you said what kind of barbecue was so delicious, and you said that you would call me when you made it, but I only found out when I came to you today. Don't forget that when you collected those barbarian seasonings at the border, I also came out. Do your best." The second prince frowned, and looked at Chu Yunxi with disgust, as if Chu Yunxi was a liar who didn't keep his promises and talked empty words.

Chu Yunxi still despises the second prince who has become a chatterbox, so he raised his forehead and said, "You alone? Is there anyone else?"

"Xiao Yichen lit the fire, Lin Qi prepared the vegetables, and Shi Ze supervised the work, so Li Mo has gone somewhere." After the second prince said that, he curled his lips and exerted force with his hands, causing the branch to split in two.

"Uh, Li Mo, I sent him to help me with some errands. If you are the one who prepares first, if the prince is free, you can stay. We will bake something later. There are so many people. Xiao Wei goes to wash up, and I will take Miss Zhang there. Take a look at the backyard." After Chu Yunxi finished speaking and saw that everyone agreed, he led Mrs. Zhang away first.

It was only September, but the grass was withered, the trees were yellow, and the leaves were everywhere in the mansion. Chu Yunxi looked at these and thought of the past, feeling a little sad in her heart. She took Mrs. Zhang to the pavilion where she used to go. Wipe off the dust on the stool, and was about to invite Mrs. Zhang to sit down, suddenly there was a rapid cry of 'Yiwu', and a black shadow like a bird swooped towards Chu Yunxi with a sharp cry.

There was Mrs. Zhang standing behind Chu Yunxi, so she subconsciously swung her arm to block it. The bird was swung by her arm to the pavilion pillar and landed for a while, screaming a few times and then flew away.But Chu Yunxi could see the bird clearly. It was black all over and screamed loudly. It turned out to be a crow!

Chu Yunxi frowned, looked at the crow that was still calling "Yiwu" and "Yiwu" on top of his head, ignored it, looked at the frightened Zhang, and said: "The crow is cruel by nature, which frightened Miss Zhang, Miss Zhang Need me something?" Chu Yunxi was in a bad mood, so he went straight to the point.

"Yes, this is a letter from my younger brother from Qingzhou. I entrusted me to send it to you. He also said that you will understand after reading it and will help me." Mrs. Zhang looked at the letter hovering above her head with some anxiety. In the desolate and loud "Yiwu" sound, the crow that didn't go tremblingly handed over the sealed letter with red paint.

Chu Yunxi took it, opened it, flipped through the pages inside, and said, "This letter asks me to help you. As long as Ms. Zhang cooperates, things can still be done. But I still want to persuade Ms. Zhang, why are you so persistent? "

"As long as my cousin is willing to come back to me, I am willing to do anything. It was his promise ten years ago to marry me, but now he treats me like a stranger. I am not reconciled." Zhang's boudoir name is Zhang Yue, Qingzhou Jiedu Even Zhang Wenfu's only daughter, who was born in a wealthy family and was the only one in the family, was naturally doted on and could get anything she wanted since she was a child. She is a famous young lady in Qingzhou.

Chu Yunxi listened to her last sentence of "I'm not reconciled", looked at Zhang Yue seriously, but didn't tell her that her brother just wanted Zhang Yue to be in charge of the Qin family, and the way he said it didn't take into account Zhang Yue's identity as Qin's wife.But after all, it was just a friendship of interests, and Chu Yunxi would not be so affectionate as to persuade this woman who was already in a state of insanity and went to the doctor in a hurry, so she didn't remind her that her brother was only adopted by the same clan after all. What she wants to gamble is the happiness of the rest of her life, betting everything that Qin Jue can return to her side.

"I'll take the initiative to contact you in the future, you just need to cooperate. Ms. Zhang is frightened, why don't I send someone to take you back to rest first?"

Zhang Yue also had this matter, the matter has already been explained, and if Chu Yunxi would like to help, it is enough, so he hurriedly said: "Thank you for your kindness, Lord Hou, I also brought my entourage, just go back by yourself. Then I'll take my leave."

Chu Yunxi nodded, and with her current status, she didn't need to personally send someone out.The crow above his head disappeared at some point, and Chu Yunxi walked along the bluestone road to the backyard expressionlessly.

In the Wuming Court, in order to prevent evil disasters, what will happen?Chu Yunxi thought all the way, and when he arrived at the backyard, he saw a small shed set up in the rain, and a long stove was set up in the shed, and many things to be baked were placed beside it.Xiao Yichen and Lin Qi had already started roasting in the small shed, Lin Qi was busy turning over, fearing that it would burn, Xiao Yichen carefully controlled the charcoal fire, Shi Ze held the wine in one hand and the brush in the other to dip in the ingredients, and the aroma was already coming out of the roasting The second prince looked at Shi Ze with a stinky face and looked at Shi Ze with disdain, and wanted to take the brush from his hand. The prince smiled and looked at them, and helped Xiaowei skewer the food to be grilled with a wooden stick. Several people laughed and laughed .

Seeing this, Chu Yunxi smiled, that's all, let's go to barbecue food first, it's a kind of luck for everyone to get together now, let's live well today, who can predict what will happen tomorrow?As the saying goes, if you have wine today, you will be drunk today, and you will worry about it tomorrow!
