Fragrance Returned

Xun Qiansong's soul is not in his home.

It can't be such a coincidence, right?

He hurried to the street corner and got into his carriage.

As soon as he left, a man turned out from behind a tree not far away and watched the carriage disappear into the night.

In the car, Xun Qiansong was so frightened that his upper and lower teeth kept chattering, and he secretly complained that his mother had caused a big disaster.

At that time, he strongly opposed it. Changing his daughter to the princess's mansion would not bring much benefit to his family. If she was found out, it would be a serious crime of beheading.

But his mother said that if he did it, he would have a great future when the second prince ascended the throne in the future. By then, none of Dong Ruyi's descendants will survive, and all the wealth in the Xun Mansion will belong to their family...

Although this condition was very tempting, Xun Qiansong was still unwilling.

One is that he is afraid of being discovered, and the other is that he gets along well with Xun Qianli and Xun Qiandai and is not willing to hope that they will die just to enjoy more wealth.

But the mother said that she already knew about this matter. If she didn't do it, Queen Mother Su and Concubine Su would definitely kill people and silence them, and none of them would be able to escape.

After careful consideration, Xun Qiansong did not dare not do it.

Or he said, "The child is so young, it would be a pity to kill him. Can he be raised somewhere else?"

Mrs. Gu glared at him and said, "Mother-in-law looks like a woman. That evildoer has her own body fragrance. Doesn't it leave a clue for others to catch her if she is alive? The Queen Mother specifically said that she must be killed. You can't even do such a trivial thing. If you don’t put your mind down, you will be able to do great things in the future.”

When Mrs. Guo found out, she burst into tears and had no choice but to agree.

In addition to Xunxiang's wet nurse, Feng Jie'er's wet nurse, and Nanny He, only the six of them knew about the whole thing.

In order that no one would recognize Sister Feng who was moved into the princess's mansion in the future, for most of the month, she almost didn't let anyone take a closer look at her, citing her poor health as an excuse.

Their planning was flawless.

The first half went smoothly. Mrs. He successfully took Sister Feng to the Dongyang Princess Mansion and handed it over to Li Bingyi's family, and then replaced Xunxiang. But Mrs. He encountered a frightened horse while passing by Yinfeng Street and lost the child...

Afraid of being exposed, not only Mrs. He and He Shun who had done something bad were killed, but Sister Feng's wet nurse and two personal maids were also killed. Two months later, he found an excuse to take Li Bingyi's family to Dingzhou, and then asked the village head there to kill them.

His mother also wanted to kill Mr. Guo, but he managed to save her life.

After many years without any news from the child, they felt relieved.

Last year, Liang Tu, Concubine Su and others were arrested. He, his mother, and Mrs. Guo were uneasy and fearful all day long. They thought they were dead.

God was merciful, but Su and Liang Tu didn't tell them about this matter. Maybe they were so scared that they forgot about it, or maybe it was not worth mentioning in the face of so many important things...

They thought that except for the three of them, everyone who knew the inside story was dead, and they could rest easy.

But now, a child suspected of being that child suddenly appeared.

It’s really a wrong step and a wrong step...

Xun Qiansong clenched his fist and punched his thigh several times.

Back at Xun Mansion, the night was getting dark, and a palace lantern was fluttering in the night wind from a long distance away.

The lamp was covered with snowflakes, making the light even weaker.

At this time, the second door was closed. Normally, he would just rest outside in the study.

But that didn't work today. He hurried to the second door, knocked on the doorkeeper's wife, opened the door, and then went to the main courtyard.

Xun Shi stayed in his concubine's house most of the time, and he also stayed in his concubine's house today.

Gu had already rested.

When she heard that her son was looking for her in an emergency, she quickly put on her clothes and went to the side room.

She was wearing a half-worn green trousers at home, with long gray hair hanging down. She looked kind-hearted, had a gentle temperament, and had a faint scent of sandalwood floating around her body.

Frugal, gentle, tolerant and kind to others are what almost everyone says about their mother.

Only Xun Qiansong knew his mother's decisiveness in killing at critical moments.

Seeing her son lost his mind and his eyes full of anxiety, Mrs. Gu frowned slightly and sat down on the kang.

After sending the servants away, she said, "You are too old to be stable. How can you take on big things? You should learn more from Xun Qianli, he is a person who can do big things..."

Neither can your father.

The second half of the sentence was left unsaid.

Xun Qiansong came to my mother, leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Mom, something big has happened."

"What a big deal!"

Mrs. Gu gave her son an angry look. No matter how big a thing is, can it be as big as that?

The Su family fell. Empress Dowager Su, Liang Tu, Concubine Su, and the prince were dead. Everyone who deserved to die was also dead. That incident has been buried in the ground forever.

Nothing else matters.

Xun Qiansong whispered, "Mom, that child is still alive."

Gu's eyes narrowed, "What?"

Xun Qiansong said again, "Dingxiang was not born to Ding Zhao and his wife. Today my son met an old neighbor of Ding Zhao in the capital. The man said that Ding Zhao and his wife lived in Qikou Hutong in the capital from the autumn of the seventeenth year to the eighteenth year of Qingguan." A year, but they never had a baby.”

Gu stood up suddenly, "Are you suspecting that Ding Xiang is the monster?"

Xun Qiansong nodded, "It is said that Dingxiang is only one day younger than Xiangxiang. But in the eighteenth year of Qingguan, Mrs. Zhang never got pregnant and gave birth to a child. They picked up the child.

"Ding Xiang looks like Dong Ruyi. Qikou Hutong is not far from Yinfeng Street... The age, appearance, and location all match. It's the right kid. Oh, what a coincidence! Mom, what should we do? "

Mrs. Gu's face was pale, and her hands holding the veil were trembling.

He gritted his teeth and cursed, "That Mrs. He, I can't wait to tear her into pieces."

Mrs. He lost her child and searched for it for a long time but could not find it. She returned home to report it in the evening. She was so angry that she had Mrs. He and He Shun killed by others the next day.

Mrs. Gu sat down and thought for a long time before she breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "Don't panic, sit down."

Xun Qiansong stepped back and sat on the chair.

Gu said, "Even if Dingxiang is really that evildoer, Ding Zhao will not know that she is Dongyang's daughter. If he knew, he would have caused trouble long ago. Don't panic, stay calm, people are impatient."

She thought for a moment and then said, "Whether that girl is the monster or not, she must be eliminated to avoid future troubles. Also, don't tell your wife about this, I'm afraid she won't be able to calm down and will be angry."

Xun Qiansong wondered, "Mother, Concubine Su and the Su family have fallen. How can we kill her now? The Ding family has the support of the Dong family. Dong Yihe is a ruthless person. Even Liang Tu and Concubine Su are... Have the ability to overthrow.

"Don't talk about me, even my father can't handle him. Also, my eldest brother is very close to them, and my grandfather listens to his eldest brother."

He was angry and scared in his heart, and complained about why my mother wanted to work with the Su family in the first place...

Gu said, "An open arrow is easy to block, but a hidden arrow is difficult to guard against. If you hit him by surprise, they will not be prepared. Concubine Su and the Su family were so powerful at the time, but they were knocked down by a little Dong Yihe."

"First investigate whether that girl has a scent on her body. If she does, we must get rid of her immediately, at all costs."
