Chapter 207 Purpose
"The law does not blame the public. In this short period of time, many people have been arrested. They cannot all be punished. At that time, the capital will be turned upside down, but the emperor must kill chickens to warn monkeys. Duan Wang is one, and the Ming government will not be able to escape. .”

Mrs. Xiao thought about it, put her hands together, and bowed to the sky.

"Amitabha, I'm afraid it will be another bloodbath."

Mrs. Xiao did not express her opinion to Lin Qingyue, so she meant to help, but Lin Qingyue disagreed, and even continued to persuade her.

"Grandma, let's save those who should be saved. I know what you're thinking. Those are members of our Xiao family, but so what? The aristocratic family has enjoyed all the glory and wealth, and who has really worked for the common people? It's time to cut out the flesh and mend the sores, you..."

"Presumptuous!" Mrs. Xiao slapped the table, her eyes suddenly became sharp, "Nonsense! The aristocratic family is the foundation of Daqi. Do you think the emperor can move easily?"

Mrs. Xiao had never spoken to Lin Qingyue so harshly before, Lin Qingyue was stunned for a moment, and she obediently put down the pastry in her hand.

Seeing this, Lin Xia had no choice but to come out to smooth things over: "Grandma, Lin Qingyue didn't mean that, she was just afraid that you would be too upset about this matter."

Just at this time, Xiao Minghui came, and he bowed to Old Madam Xiao.

"Lucky luck, auntie Jin'an."

Because of Xiao Minghui's arrival, the tense atmosphere in the room dissipated a little.

"Luck is here, sit down." After Xiao Minghui sat down beside her, she said, "Why do you want to come here today?"

"Recently, there have been a lot of court affairs, and my nephew and grandson thought that they hadn't come to pay their respects to their aunt for a long time. It really shouldn't be. I heard that the sixth sister has also returned, so I decided to come over to join in the fun."

Xiao Minghui really can bear the words "gentle and moist as jade", and he is always gentle in speaking and doing things. What's more difficult is that he has a sense of righteousness. He is also a famous talent all over the capital, but he is never proud of his talent.

"I just heard that my aunt seems to be arguing with my sixth sister. I wonder if I can listen to my nephew's humble opinion."

"You said, you work in the court, and you are in the Dali Temple, so you naturally have a wider view than me, a boudoir."

For Xiao Minghui, Mrs. Xiao was still satisfied. After all these years, she felt that Pei Xiashu had done such a good thing, never treated Xiao Minghui harshly, and brought him up well.

"The nephew thinks that the sixth younger sister is right."

Xiao Minghui looked at Lin Qingyue as he spoke. Lin Qingyue, who was not sitting upright, straightened her back and sat up straight under his direct gaze.

Lin Qingyue didn't know why, Xiao Minghui clearly didn't mean to blame her when she looked at her, but she just didn't dare to slack off, and even felt that the only way to respect him was in this way.

"The nephew thinks that the sixth younger sister is very insightful. Daqi has come to this point, it is time to gouge out the flesh and mend the sores. The current emperor is a wise king, Zhongzheng Renhe, this has advantages, but also disadvantages."

When he talked about these worldly events, he was still as peaceful as ever, and he brought peace of mind.

"Benevolence will naturally allow the people to live and work in peace and contentment, but it also fosters some people's ambitions. The emperor did not take care of it before, because there was no big trouble. Now the emperor wants to take care of it, which is also reasonable. Auntie, we should Only by adapting to the situation can we go further.”

Mrs. Xiao stretched out her hand and rubbed her temples. After a while, she sighed, "I'm old after all, that's all. Let's take a look. You all go back, I'm a little tired."

Several people got up, saluted Old Madam Xiao, and left together.

For some reason, although the three of them walked together, no one spoke, which made Lin Qingyue very uncomfortable. Just when she was racking her brains to think of what to say, it was Xiao Minghui who broke the silence.

"Sixth Sister is really different from before. Those who call her brother should look at her with admiration."

"Brother was joking. Lin Qingyue doesn't understand anything, so she just listened to... Commander Xiao's words."

Lin Qingyue didn't know why, but she was a little afraid of her elder brother, even if she could easily call out Xiao Linze's words in front of others, she didn't dare to say them in front of him.

"Really?" Xiao Minghui bid farewell to them after saying these two short words, saying that there were still some important matters to be dealt with.Lin Qingyue really wanted him to go, and she was tired from the busy work, so she was relieved to go back to her room to rest.

Lin Qingyue fell into a deep sleep and didn't wake up until the next day. When she woke up, she heard commotion outside, as if she was talking about something.

She was curious and planned to get up and go outside to find out what happened. Before she went out, Chunhua and Qiuju heard her and came in to serve her.

"What's going on outside?"

Putting the pots on the shelf, Qiu Ju replied, "It hasn't snowed this year, and everyone is looking forward to it. Today is the first snowfall."

Lin Qingyue's eyes lit up suddenly, she casually put on her shoes, without washing her face or combing her hair, and ran outside.

"Girl, I haven't washed yet." Qiu Ju hurriedly shouted from behind.

Seeing that Lin Qingyue was not going to listen to persuasion, Chunhua hurriedly took the bright red cloak stuffed with cotton hanging from Mu Shi, and hurried out to put it on for her.

"Girl, it's such a cold day, be careful of getting a cold."

Lin Qingyue stood on the porch, watching intently the white snow drifting down from the sky, she couldn't help but stretched out her right hand in an attempt to catch it, but it disappeared in the palm of her hand in just a moment, and she was nowhere to be found.

The snow here is not as big as in Xizhou. Have the people of Xizhou stocked up enough food this summer and autumn?

She felt a little lost in her heart.

Duan Lingxue didn't have the meticulous attention to detect Lin Qingyue's emotions, she just looked at the large snowflakes falling from the sky, and said: "Girl, when the snow piles up later, we can build a snowman." .”

Lin Qingyue replied: "Yes, you can also have snowball fights. I like snowball fights the most."

At that time, there were still a few older brothers who could be bullied by her.

She felt nothing, but she suddenly missed the past.

Those days were really good, carefree.

After Lin Qingyue went back to tidy herself up, she went to have breakfast with Lin Xia.

"Sister, when will you get engaged?" Lin Qingyue asked after taking a sip of porridge.

Hearing that Lin Xia almost spit out a mouthful of porridge, two blushes appeared on his small face, and he said angrily, "Why are you in such a hurry? I don't know yet."

"What?" Lin Qingyue became angry when she heard this, "Could it be that he still dares to betray you?"

"No, he just... always wanted to wait for high school and get married at that time." At this point, Lin Xia's smile faded.

Lin Qingyue probably understood Wang Zhi's thoughts, put down her hand holding the porcelain spoon, and said, "At first I thought he approached you for revenge, but now it seems that he has such thoughts. , I was really rude when I said so many things to him rashly, I'm sorry, sister, I made you sad."

Lin Xia smiled in relief, and reached out to hold Lin Qingyue's hand: "He never blames you, and I don't blame you either. If you can figure it out, I will be very happy to get along with him in harmony in the future."
