Chapter 28

Early the next morning, Xie Zhan received replies from the Lu family and the Qin family, and they both returned the post.

Two posts were dismissed at the same time, and Xie Zhan was puzzled.

He could understand the Qin family's rejection of the invitation. After all, the Zhao family had broken off their engagement with the Qin family. What about the Zhao, Lu, and Xie families? They no longer had much to do with the Qin family. Moreover, the Qin family had the arrogance of military generals, so they would not accept the peace talks organized by him.

It makes sense.

But the post he sent to the Lu family was also returned, which was beyond his expectation.

In his expectation, Lu Songli, as his fiancée, is now being challenged. In addition, the Lu family just pushed the Zhao family to the ground yesterday. He felt that no matter what the reason, the Lu family should agree to the invitation, and then

It's only right to come to discuss it arrogantly.

At present, the Lu family acted like they refused to negotiate, as if they didn't care about the thoughts and opinions of the Xie family and his fiancé at all. Xie Zhan was keenly aware that there was something going on that he didn't know about.

Just when Xie Zhan was still thinking and debating possible problems, the boy in his yard ran towards him with a roar, "No, no, no, no, young master!"

"What happened?"

"Miss Zhao committed suicide by cutting her wrists in the middle of the night last night. It is said that the blood flowed all over the floor and dyed the floor of the room red."

After the initial surprise, Xie Zhan asked calmly, "What else?"

He didn't ask if Zhao Yutan was dead. She was definitely still alive. The Zhao family would definitely not let Zhao Yutan die like this. If she died, the Zhao family would really lose everything. But this time, the wrists were cut.

Suicide, plus the previous hanging, the same trick has been done twice. If the previous one was just a show, then the Zhao family will definitely not dare to fool people again.

"The maid who was accompanying the bed was woken up by the smell of blood, and she realized that something had happened. The imperial doctor guessed that Miss Zhao waited for the maid who was accompanying the bed to fall asleep before taking action."

"The Zhao family hired an imperial doctor?"

"Yes, the doctors hired from outside all shook their heads after seeing it. The Zhao family had no choice but to hang on to their lives with ginseng, and then went to the palace to ask for the imperial doctor."

"Then what's the situation with the Zhao family now?"

"Miss Zhao is still in a coma. The imperial doctor said that if she can wake up, she will survive. If she cannot wake up, she will not survive."

After listening to the boy's words, Xie Zhan fell into deep thought. Did he guess wrong? Did the Zhao family get away with it? Zhao Yutan couldn't bear it so he really committed suicide? But his intuition rejected his guess.

So, this is still the intention of the Zhao family. The Zhao family has spent a lot of money this time, just to survive after death, and this 'resurrection' also needs an opportunity. Xie Zhan thought again, the Zhao family was so desperate

His approach is not like Zhao Wenkuan's style, but rather as if he is sure that someone has the truth...

He narrowed his eyes slightly and ordered, "Go and ask for any follow-up news from the Zhao family! Also, ask about what visitors have come to the house in the past two days, and where the master has been and who he has met."

It didn't take long for his people to send him the news he wanted.

Because Miss Zhao left a suicide note before committing suicide, saying that her reputation had been so tarnished by the incident that she fell into the water, she had already begun to have the desire to die: Later, her family was slandered and impeached because of her, and she tried to solve it but failed, and her behavior even

It may bring a second blow to the family, and she feels that she has no shame in living in this world.

Mrs. Zhao, Luo Shi, went to the Yamen alone and asked the Chang'an Ling to order the arrest of the gossips who had recently spread rumors and slandered her daughter. Since Zhao Yutan was still in a coma and would most likely not wake up, the Chang'an Ling agreed. At this time, the Yamen were arresting people everywhere.

People, the city of Chang'an is in chaos.

Xie Zhan could tell at a glance that the Zhao family was killing two birds with one stone. First, it could frame the Lu family and then directly defeat the rumors. Second, it could force the Xie family, but in fact it gave the Xie family the opportunity to withdraw from the engagement again. In the final analysis, the Zhao family

Everything he did was directed at the Lu family.

Another matter that Xie Zhan asked to be investigated just now also had results. When he saw Zhao Wenkuan's name on the visitor list, his face darkened. His father had accepted the surrender of the Zhao family. No wonder, the Zhao family

Dare to act so radically.

Xie Zhan was in a bad mood at this time. His father was really too impatient. He had clearly said that there was no urgency in this matter, and he would take his time to look at it before speaking, and not to rush to a conclusion! This was also the first time he had tasted it.

The hardships of being a young patriarch.

Xie Mingtang: It’s not that he is in a hurry, it’s just that the Zhao family has given too much and it’s hard for him to refuse.

Now that things have come to this, Xie Zhan plans to take a good look at how the Zhao family will continue this drama!

People's joys and sorrows are not the same. Compared with the cloudy Zhao Mansion, the Lu family seems quiet and peaceful.

Second brother Xu left the city early in the morning. After all, he still had to take care of his family's livelihood of killing pigs. Lu Desheng got up to see off the guests alone. On weekdays, he had to go to court and got up early. After seeing off second brother Xu, he

Went back to the house to rest again.

Because today is a holiday, her father does not have to go to the Yushitai to order Mao. Lu Songli wrote down a recipe early in the morning, asked someone to go to Dr. Zhou's place to get the medicine, and then boiled two large pots of Chinese herbal shampoo.

.

Lu Songli took her mother to wash her hair together and used one of the pots. In the other pot, she asked her servants to scoop the prepared concoction into a wooden bucket and gave it to her father in the main courtyard.

In ancient times, women had long hair because they had grown it since they were young, and their hair reached their waists. However, because of their poor health, their hair quality was also poor. As the saying goes, if your hair is caused by blood, it is not surprising that your hair quality is not good.

In the future, after she takes medicine to take good care of her body, and then uses the secret recipe of traditional Chinese medicine to nourish her hair, her hair quality will definitely improve.

In ancient times, washing your hair was a big job. There was no hair dryer here, and such long hair would take an hour or two from washing to drying.

Didn’t you realize that in order to complete this big project, the imperial court invented a holiday? As the name suggests, this day is for officials to wash their hair and take a bath. Her father washed his hair on holidays and took a rest every ten days.

, which means that her father only washes his hair once every ten days.

Women in later generations are somewhat mysophobic, and Lu Songli is no exception. She can't do it if she is asked to wash her hair once every ten days. Before she wore it, she washed her hair every other day. Here, washing her hair once every five days is enough.

This is the limit of what she can endure. Not to mention that her hair quality is not good, it is the type that is frizzy and prone to oiliness. When Mo Bing combed her hair before, he liked to apply osmanthus oil on it, making her hair greasy.

It was so bright that she couldn't think about it anymore. Just thinking about it gave her a chill.

"Don't tell me, your hair smells pretty good after washing with this concoction." Her mother said when the mother and daughter were lying on the couch to dry their hair.

"That's it." Lu Songli had just said that this recipe was a secret recipe for hair care that she had bought in the past. It contained more than ten Chinese medicinal materials such as Platycladus orientalis leaves, Polygonum multiflorum, dried ginger, angelica and so on. Among them, the amount of Polygonum multiflorum was...

It’s not low, and of course it smells good. And if you wash your hair with this recipe often, it can also help grow black hair.

The news that Zhao Yutan committed suicide by cutting his wrists reached the Lu family. The Lu family had already dried their hair and were preparing to eat.

Lu Songli curled her lips. She was still doing the same thing. She had already told her in advance not to use this trick all the time. She was indeed a poor person!

Her mother, Mrs. Jiang, shook her head after hearing this, "Again? It's only been a few days since the last hanging, and this time you cut your wrists to bleed? Isn't it just another pretense?"

Lu Songli smiled, "That's not possible. We asked the imperial doctor to alarm the palace. Zhao Yutan must have been stabbed, and there must have been a lot of blood." It is certain that Zhao Yutan suffered greatly.

"Master, Madam, Second Miss, Miss Zhao also left a suicide note." The servant who inquired about the news said with a grimace.

"What did the suicide note say?"

"The general meaning is that her reputation was ruined because of the incident of falling into the water, and she had already begun to contemplate death. Later, her family was slandered and impeached because of her. She wanted to apologize and explain but in vain. When she thought about her behavior, she might even bring harm to the family.

When the second blow came, she felt that she had no face left to live in this world."

Lu Songli said in her heart, what a big basin of dirty water! Look, what he said, implicitly and implicitly, didn't he mean that the father and daughter forced her to death?

Bang! Jiang was so angry that she slapped her chopsticks on the table, "What does she mean?"

This suicide note is full of controversy and will really make people think about it.

"Auntie, let's not be angry." Lu Songli sat close to her and rubbed her back to calm her down. The words in the suicide note did mean something, but they didn't mention her by name, so they didn't want to go.

It's your seat.

"My daughter is right. You can write whatever you like in someone's suicide note. They didn't name anyone in it, so it has nothing to do with us. Don't react so violently." Lu Desheng also looked like the old god was here. Humph, Zhao Mansion also

That's all.
