Chapter 323 Chi

In Xue's house, there are several newly planted plum blossoms in the backyard. Although they have not bloomed yet, their branches and leaves are sparse and they are really beautiful.

This was planted by Yan Yan casually. She was worried that she would not survive, but she did not expect that she was growing well and she could always do things well without any effort.

In the early morning, after the couple got up, they started to move around the flowers and trees.

"A big watermelon, cut in half with one knife, half for you, half for him..."

After becoming the wife of a housekeeper and staying in bed for a few days, Yan Yan still couldn't escape her mother-in-law's discipline. The last time she came back, Wei Yun gave her a few words about her physical problems. After that, Xue Bai only had time at home.

, so he often took her to practice Qigong.

On the other side of the path, Yong'er stood watching this scene, with a smile on his lips. He was even happier than Yan Yan, as if he was having a love affair with Xue Bai for her.

After the two of them had completed a set of slow punches, Yong'er stepped forward and said: "Mr. Sir, Madam, Madam is here."

"Auntie is here to take care of me again."

Wei Yun had been sitting in the hall for a while. When she saw her daughter, her son-in-law came over to greet her. He nodded with satisfaction, took Yan Yan's hand, and asked her how her health was lately and whether she took her medicine on time.

Finally, she asked Yan Yan to show her the latest female celebrity homework.

After sending her daughter away, Wei Yun looked at Xue Bai and asked, "Is your relationship okay?"

"Don't worry, mother-in-law, it's all right."

Wei Yun lowered her head and took a sip of tea soup, then asked casually: "Then...when do you plan to have a child?"

She is a mother-in-law, and some things are obvious.

Xue Bai pondered for a while and said: "Sanniang is still too young, and her health is not good. It may be dangerous to give birth to a child now, so it is better to take more care of her now."

"That's true." Wei Yun nodded worriedly and said hesitantly: "Recently, people all over Chang'an say that you are an upright gentleman and keep your integrity, which is good. But since Sanniang married you, she should give birth to an heir for you. Do you care about that?

She is weak, but it is not appropriate for her to lose her responsibility as a wife..."

Xue Bai couldn't help but be confused and asked: "May I ask my husband, what did someone say to you recently?"

Wei Yun sighed, with a son-in-law like Xue Bai, she was under considerable pressure.

There were quite a few ladies who wanted to marry Xue Bai, and some of them had ridiculed Yan Yan at certain banquets, but Yan Yan retaliated. However, the malice did not dissipate, and some of them were transferred to the Yan family, saying that Yan Yan could not give birth.

There are many people who have children. Occasionally, some people say that Xue Bai married such a frail and sick young man because of his indifference.

Wei Yun was not good at dealing with this, but fortunately Cui was still in Chang'an and gave her some advice.

"We have also thought that Sanniang's disease may not be cured within a few years, and it is not quiet around you." Wei Yun considered it, and said slowly: "I asked Yong'er just now. She has served Sanniang since she was a child.

It’s inseparable…do you understand?”

"Understood." Xue Bai said: "Mother-in-law, you don't need to pay attention to what others say. Sanniang and I are still young, and many things can't be rushed at the same time."

"You have always been calm."

Wei Yun sighed with emotion, feeling that seeing Xue Bai's unhurried attitude, even if the conversation did not produce any results, the worries in her heart were relieved a lot.

Afterwards, Yan Yan came over with some embroidered needlework.

"What are these embroideries?"

"They are all the patterns my husband likes." Yan Yan said matter-of-factly, "This is a gourd baby. Yong'er has also heard this story from her husband, saying that it is good luck to embroider this."

"Okay." Wei Yun had nothing to do with her daughter, "You send my mother out."

…

Qinglan saw Wei Yun leaving the hall, walked to Xue Bai, and whispered: "Mr. Lang, my second mother is waiting in the west wing."

"Okay." Xue Bai turned to look at Qinglan and asked, "What do you want to say?"

"Madam gave me a pair of gold bracelets, and I deserve it."

"I understand." Xue Bai shook her hand and said, "If you feel relieved if you don't accept it, you can return it to Sanniang. She won't care."

Qinglan's eyes lit up.

Although Wei Yun didn't say it, she gave such an expensive gift in the hope that Qing Lan could adopt a child into Yan Yan's house in the future, but Qing Lan finally broke away from her humble status, and she was actually unwilling to do so.

"Don't worry." Xue Bai said, "My husband is also very easy to get along with, and Sanniang is even more so. She is very transparent with others. If you return it to her, she will understand your intentions and will not care about you."

"Lang Jun, I think so too."

Qing Lan nodded vigorously. Although they had only been together for a short time, she already trusted Yan Yan very much.

~~

Pushing the door open and entering the guest room in the west wing, Xue Bai smelled a familiar fragrance.

Du Jin came here after washing her hair and was sitting in front of the bronze mirror, arranging her hair.

"Here we come." Xue Bai said, "I plan to go to Fengwei Building later."

"I didn't come here to mess around with you. I got some important information. Do you know what the murder weapon was that killed Li Qian?"

"Not a saber?"

Du Jin asked: "Did anyone tell you it was a saber?"

"Princess Tang Chang said that the soldier accidentally killed Li Qian and then 'hacked' others."

"But it didn't say what he accidentally killed Li Qian with. Maybe he picked up something else?"

Xue Bai thought for a moment and found that neither Princess Tang Chang nor Princess Boping had told such details. Among them, Princess Tang Chang did not see the scene when Li Qian was accidentally killed, while Princess Boping was still young and may not have noticed it.

.

"No one really said it. I subconsciously thought it was a saber."

"Paperweight."

Xue Bai was surprised.

Du Jin pursed her lips and smiled slightly, beckoned him to come closer, and whispered: "It is a long brass paperweight with a carved Chi, entrenched on the paperweight, lifelike."

Chi is a kind of dragon without horns. Legend has it that it is the son of a dragon and a dragon. Because dragons have horns and Chi does not have horns, Chi often goes to the mortal world and asks people if it looks like a dragon. If it hears the word "no", it will

Swallow the person in one bite.

Nowadays, chisels are often used as decorations on bells and tripods, on the foreheads of monuments, on palace pillars, on palace steps, and on seals.

"Where is this paperweight now?"

"I don't know yet, but Li Jing has been looking for you since he met you," Du Jin said. "He did witness the death of Li Qian with his own eyes. Also, do you know how Concubine Wu Hui was frightened to death?"

"Is it related to this paperweight?"

"Listen to that, when Concubine Wu Hui died, the paperweight was in her house. She thought it was placed by the ghost of Concubine Xue and wanted her to pay for it with her life..."

Xue Bai thought about it and combined it with the information he got from Li Jing. After Li Qian's death, Gao Lishi and Chen Xuanli went over to confirm that the paperweight was once in their hands. If someone deliberately scared Concubine Wu Hui to death, it was probably these two.

What people do.

"Li Jing heard that Li Qian was not dead, and she had doubts in her heart. She wanted to see if that paperweight could kill someone?"

"That's right."

"Where is the thing? I have to see it with my own eyes."

"After Concubine Wu Hui's death, all valuable items were left to Li Xuan, unless someone specifically took them away." Du Jin said, "We bribed a maid next to Li Xuan and just wait for news."

Xue Bai thought that if he wanted to pretend to be the emperor's grandson, he would have to bribe or get rid of all the insiders. Now it seems that some of the insiders are involved in the death of Concubine Wu Hui.

After talking for a while, Qinglan said outside the door: "Mr. Lang, the Prime Minister's Office has sent someone to invite you."

"Let's go."

The two people came out of the room. Qinglan hesitated for a moment and then said: "Well... Madam, please ask Er Niang to come over."

Xue Bai was surprised and smiled bitterly to himself.

Du Jin glared at him and sneered, "Go and do your work. I'll go see your wife and see if she can take care of all these things for you."

Although the words were powerful, Du Jin really didn't expect Yan Yan to respond like this. She thought she would pretend not to know about it, or make trouble with Xue Bai privately.

I didn't expect that she would dare to face her again.

…

Walking around to the lobby, I smelled a strong medicinal smell before I even entered.

Yan Yan was sitting behind the desk, drinking medicine from a bowl bigger than her face.

Perhaps it was because the medicinal soup was too bitter. When she put down the bowl, she showed a pitiful face, which made Du Jin feel a little soft-hearted for a moment.

"Second sister is here, sit down quickly."

Yan Yan patted the stool beside her, continued to take a sip of the unfinished medicine, and said, "Yong'er, go to the kitchen and get me another piece of candy."

"yes."

Du Jin smiled and told herself not to be fooled by Yan Yan. This little girl was by no means as innocent as she seemed.

"You have something to tell me?"
