Mrs. Cui's face turned pale with fright, and her body shook violently.

Mrs. Cui said with a trembling voice: "Then, will she be okay?"

Jiang Zhiluo nodded and said, "Don't worry, Mom, she will be fine."

"Although her condition is a bit serious, she will get better as long as she takes good care of herself."

"But the recovery time may be a bit long."

"I haven't checked her physical condition yet. She may still have some external injuries."

Jiang Zhiluo sighed in her heart.

If she didn't have the wood power and the spiritual spring, she wouldn't be able to be cured by just relying on medical skills.

I don't know what she went through.

"Mom, I want to know who wants to harm her."

She was worried that someone would find this place and do harm to Cui Qingci.

Mrs. Cui shook her head and said, "I don't know either. Maybe Qingci won't know until she wakes up."

"This child used to have a strong temper. Who would have thought that she would suddenly become like this? She must have suffered a lot."

"She clearly married Pei Nanchen two years ago, and the Pei family clearly promised that they would treat her well."

Mrs. Cui actually understands in her heart that a woman's natal family is also very important. Being powerful and having no power are two completely different statuses.

She didn't need to think about it to know that it was the Cui family's exile that affected Qing Ci.

"The Pei family?"

Mrs. Cui nodded and explained: "Well, the Pei family is in Nanzhou, south of Zhongzhou. The Pei family is a famous scholarly family. The family once had a great master, a chief assistant, and a great scholar. It was also a famous family."

"It's just that the Pei family is no longer in a state of poverty now. But even so, the Pei family has a large collection of books, the Pei family has a good reputation, the children of the family value reading, and Pei Nanchen is also very knowledgeable..."

"When he came to Beijing to take the exam, he happened to be seen by Qingci."

Jiang Zhiluo was a little confused and said, "Mom, what happened next."

"According to this situation, a daughter-in-law of the Duke's palace and a down-and-out scholar are not in the right family."

"And we're still marrying far away. Do you agree?"

According to normal logic, the government would not agree.

The daughter in the palm of my hand must find a good marriage for her in the capital, instead of letting her marry far away.

Once you marry far away, your mother's family may not be able to help you if you want.

This is the case in this era, and this era is all about being well-matched.

Mrs. Cui wiped her tears and sighed: "There is nothing we can do if we disagree. We all love Qingci and can't bear to make her sad. She went on a hunger strike and refused to eat. She became very haggard in a short period of time, so we discussed it. With the Duke's office here, even if the Pei family is not as good as before, as long as they secretly help, my daughter's life will be good."

"In addition, her father has asked people to find out about Pei Nanchen. He is indeed a talented person and has good knowledge. As long as he is willing to work hard and get a good name, we can also help arrange a position for him in Beijing."

"So I agreed."

Jiang Zhiluo asked, "Mom, does the Pei family agree?"

"The Pei family naturally agreed. Even the old lady of the Pei family came to the Cui family from Nanzhou to the capital, saying that she would treat Qingci well.

"Then have you asked Pei Nanchen?"

Mrs. Cui was stunned. In this era, parents' orders and matchmaker's words are important.

It seemed that they all instinctively thought that Pei Nanchen agreed.

Thinking about it carefully, Pei Nanchen is also very good to Qingci, and there is nothing to criticize.

Jiang Zhiluo had some guesses in her mind.

But in general, it was because Cui Qingci lost the protection of her family's influence that she was like this.

If Cui Guogong's mansion was still in good condition, no one would dare to let her become like this.

The Pei family must protect her even more.

Jiang Zhiluo said: "Mom, don't think too much. No matter what, the second sister is fine now." "We'll see what she says when she wakes up. If she wants to stay at home, then stay at home."

"Now that the conditions at home are good, I can definitely take care of myself. There are many rooms in the house, and I have a place to live."

Mrs. Cui was so moved that she didn't know what to say.

Very few sisters-in-law are willing to accept their sister-in-law to live at home.

She didn't even know how to talk about it, but Zhiluo had already said it.

After Jiang Zhiluo boiled the medicine, she went into the house to feed Cui Qingci to drink.

Mrs. Cui said: "Zhiluo, you haven't rested since you got home. It's better for me to do it."

After giving Cui Qingci medicine, Jiang Zhiluo checked her pulse, but she was fine for the time being.

The family had dinner together.

If you sleep at night, Mrs. Cui and Cui Qingci will share a room, making it easier to take care of Cui Qingci.

After washing up in the evening and going back to the house, Jiang Zhiluo looked at Cui Hejin sitting at the table, looking lost in thought, and said, "Are you thinking about your second sister?"

Cui Hejin nodded.

"what are you worried about?"

Cui Hejin said: "Someone doesn't want the second sister to live."

Jiang Zhiluo wiped her wet hair, then sat down at the table and said, "According to you, someone put the fatal poison on your second sister's body?"

"But to be honest with you, there is a chronic poison in her body that has been under the influence for two years. Normally, the incident in your Cui family only happened a year ago, so it shouldn't have affected this two years ago."

"The fatal poison in her body was administered more than a month ago. Are you sure she didn't drink it herself?"

Cui Hejin said: "My second sister doesn't have that kind of temper. She has a strong temper but will never commit suicide casually."

"She is a woman. There are not so many restrictions on girls in my Cui family, and the family's requirements for them are not so strict. She can wield swords and guns, which she learned from her grandfather. Her grandfather taught her many things, so she has a strong temper. I will never seek death easily."

Cui Hejin still has a certain understanding of his sister.

"Besides, I had people inquire about Pei Nanchen before, and he would not drug Qingci."

Cui Hejin believed in his judgment on Pei Nanchen.

Jiang Zhiluo said: "Then someone gave her chronic poison two years ago. I just heard from my mother that she married into the Pei family two years ago. It shows that some people don't want her to live. The Pei family is not as simple as it seems."

"Does a scholarly family with strict rules also have secrets that outsiders don't know about, such as house fighting? Women's battlefield is more complicated."

Cui Hejin was thoughtful.

"If it were just the Pei family that did this, it would be okay. At least Qingci would be safe here."

Jiang Zhiluo's expression changed, and she suddenly understood, "You are worried that the person above sent someone to do something, or gave an order secretly, such as asking the Pei family to kill Qingci."

"A long time ago, the current emperor was actually thinking of ways to deal with your Cui family, but he never found a way to do it."

"Killing too many ministers is not conducive to consolidating his position."

Jiang Zhiluo said: "Your second sister will wake up in the next two or three days. If she says it herself, it will be better than what we guessed."

The two had a conversation, and it was getting late. Jiang Zhiluo and Cui Hejin went to bed.

In the middle of the night, Jiang Zhiluo dreamed of coming to a house.

The architectural style of this house is like that of Jiangnan.

Not the Wei Mansion either.

Jiang Zhiluo turned around and found that this was the Pei Mansion.

Pei Mansion, is this where Cui Qingci has lived in the past two years?
Jiang Zhiluo walked forward curiously, and suddenly she was taken into a room by a force.

A thin and beautiful woman was sitting in front of the window copying scriptures. She wrote a lot on the table, and her wrists were sore from writing.

But there was not a single maid serving in the house.

Even the tea is cold.
