The Autumn Ballad 嫣语赋 Episode 3

Qiu Yan's visit to the He Family was a helpless move, and she also wanted to take this opportunity to investigate the cause of He Feng's death, and she would never accept the situation and bear an unwarranted charge. Therefore, Qiu Yan sought Qin Xuan's help in advance, so that the black cat entered the mourning hall at night and examined He Feng's corpse while everyone was unprepared.

For a while, the He House was in chaos, which aroused Liang Yi's interest. Qiu Yan learned that other people were rushing to hear the news, so she asked Qin Xuan and Bixue to clean up the mourning hall, while she stopped Liang Yi, pretended to be unwell and was about to pass out, and took the opportunity to pull the other party into the pond, causing both of them to fall into the water.

Although Qin Xuan cooperated tacitly and hid it from the He family and his wife for the time being, Liang Yi noticed the clue. Qiu Yan knew that she could not deceive Qin Xuan, so she had to explain that the coffin was opened and the autopsy found that He Feng died of poisoning, and she found half a copper coin pendant from her right hand, which was suspected to be a token of love between men and women.

Liang Yi promised to help Qiu Yan, but Yu Gong couldn't bear to cause a tragedy because General He deceived the emperor. On that day, he left Qiufu and went to Jingyun Nunnery alone. As Qiu Yan said, this place was not a place where women from a good family lived for a long time, and now it can be regarded as making up for his previous mistakes.

Because of Liang Yi's acquiescence, Qiu Yan has no more worries about her actions, and simply uses the reason of understanding He Feng's past to find his personal maid. Unexpectedly, the maid Yueying insisted on being buried for He Feng, and did not want to see anyone, so Qiu Yan had no other choice, so she came to Yueying's residence, shocked why this loyal slave servant was detained by the servants.

Just when Qiu Yan was puzzled by it, the maid Chunxing actually brought Mrs. He over to expose her recent sneaky behavior on the spot. Qiu Yan lied that she was going to He Feng's study to find some personal things, so that she could take her to Jingyun Nunnery and see things and think about people for a long night.

Mrs. He believed it to be true, but Chun Xing actually targeted Qiu Yan everywhere, forbid her to take anything, and in the end reluctantly gave up one of the inkstones. Through this incident, Qiu Yan felt that Chun Xing's attitude was suspicious, so she secretly winked at Qing Dai, looking for an opportunity to deliver news for Liang Yi.

While Chun Xing was out to change tea, Qiu Yan chatted with Liang Yi about Yue Ying, and in his various hints, she guessed that Yue Ying was most likely He Feng's sweetheart and the person who poisoned her. In order to meet Yueying herself, Qiu Yan decided to start with Chun Xing. The two masters and servants deliberately angered her, causing her to sell the inkstone with a grudge, and she was caught on the spot.

At first Chun Xing denied it, but Qiu Yan turned out the ticket, which left her speechless. In fact, Chun Xing doesn't need to spend a lot of time, but Qiu Yan is sure that Chun Xing likes He Feng, and she is reluctant to throw away these relics, so the pawnshop becomes her only choice. When Qiu Yan leaves the house, she can redeem the inkstone for her own. .

Forced by Qiu Yan's threat, Chun Xing had to take her to see Yueying, and in Yueying's narration, a love affair with He Feng was revealed. It turned out that as early as half a year ago, when He Feng was out on a study tour in Beizhen, he fell in love with a local woman Zhao Rui at first sight, and soon fell in love.

Because Zhao Rui's father was an old boy who wrote letters on behalf of others, he did not want his daughter to cling to the powerful, and since the two families were not in the same household, General He would never allow He Feng to marry a commoner woman. In the end, He Feng decided to set up a private life with Zhao Rui, instructed Yueying and Chunxing to arrange the wedding room in the suburbs, simply arranged the wedding, and at the same time prepared the marriage certificate and officially married.

If according to Yueying's words, He Feng stopped his wife and remarried Qiu's family daughter, which meant that the marriage contract between the two would not count, and Qiu Yan did not need to observe the festival for He Feng. But the problem was that Zhao Rui had already sent the marriage letter to her father Zhao Mingli, and when she learned that He Feng was unsympathetic, she hanged herself for a while.

Since Zhao Rui's death, Yueying often went out of the house to burn paper and worship, until two days before He Feng's wedding, she suddenly met a Taoist priest on the road. Yueying immediately thought of Zhao Rui, listened to the lies of the Taoist priest, and added talisman water to He Feng's tea according to the other party's instructions.

Now it seems that the so-called Taoist priest should be Zhao Mingli in disguise. Although he temporarily escaped, General He has sent elite troops to hunt him down. Considering the critical situation, Zhao Mingli is likely to encounter unexpected events, Qiu Yan immediately went to Liang Yi for help, hoping that he would find a way to get herself out of the house.

After listening to Qiu Yan's words, Liang Yi believed that the matter was not simple on the surface, and there should be more unknown inside stories, so on the day of He Feng's funeral, he specially arranged for the funeral team to wait halfway, and the two teams were incompatible with each other. , causing a conflict. Liang Yi took advantage of the chaos to rescue Qiu Yan, Yueying and others, and let them run along the official road.

Qin Xuan had prepared the carriage to guard the archway and was in charge of answering Qiu Yan and the others. As for Liang Yi, he first detoured and returned to protect General He. Afterwards, he found an opportunity to escape from the He Mansion team, and then rendezvous with everyone at the agreed place. Baixue prepared three sets of clothes, Qiu Yan asked Yueying to go to the carriage and put them on, but she did not show up for a long time. Qingdai went to check and found out that she had escaped alone.

At this time, Yueying was kneeling in the ruined temple, begging to the Buddha, suspected of doing something wrong. As soon as the words fell, Zhao Mingli came in from the door, angrily scolded Yueying for being a fool, and was about to attack her when Qiu Yan and others suddenly appeared. Qiu Yan laughed at Zhao Mingli for being too stupid. If Yueying was killed today, it would be difficult to find the real murderer who killed Zhao Rui.
