Chapter 84 The more I think about it, the more familiar it becomes
Baoan Garden.
Lin Yunyan was reading a book and was surprised when she heard that Zhu Xiang came to look for her.
"I'll pick her up." Lin Yunyan said, and asked Wan Yue to prepare some tea and snacks.
At the second door, Zhu Xian got off the carriage.
Lin Yunyan stepped forward and took her arm, saying: "Look at your expression, what happened? There is a lot of uncertainty between your eyebrows."
Hearing this, Zhu Xiang subconsciously raised his hand and pressed his eyebrows: "Is it so obvious?"
Lin Yunyan nodded: "It's all written down, go to my place and talk about it."
Back in the room, the two of them sat down, and Lin Yunyan pushed a cup of hot tea to her: "I felt restless and a little overwhelmed."
Xu Shi's description was so accurate that even though Zhu Xiang was worried, he even laughed out loud.
"Something happened to my father," Zhu Xiang said, biting his lip lightly, "He, he killed someone, and he and the outer room have been locked up by Shuntian Mansion. I heard that it was an accident, and he did not intentionally harm anyone.
, but he didn’t report it to the official and threw the man out..."
This time, it was Lin Yunyan's turn to be stunned.
Seeing her surprised, Zhu Xiang said: "You can't believe it, right? I can't believe it either. I heard such things when I woke up in the morning, so I just pretended that I didn't wake up!
My father was just trying to gain fame, but he felt sorry for my mother. I was annoyed with him and hated him, but I really never thought that one day he would kill someone."
The more he spoke, the more Zhu Chan’s voice shook.
Lin Yunyan held her hand and asked: "Who died?"
"A man named Li Yuanfa," Zhu Xiang said, "was caught by the government as a thief earlier, and it was said that it was my father who instigated that person. He was released by the government and went to Liuguo Hutong, but..." Lin Yunyan quickly organized her thoughts.
After discussing it at Taohe Zhai that day, she knew that Xu Jian would try to get involved in the Yamen case handling.
The reason why Li Yuanfa was able to leave the Yamen was probably because Xu Jian persuaded Mr. Shan to cast a line to catch Zhu Cheng's fish.
But something happened after that.
Li Yuanfa and Zhu Cheng had a disagreement, which turned into a life-threatening lawsuit.
When Zhu Xiang finished explaining the whole story in detail, Lin Yunyan's breathing tightened when he mentioned that Li Yuanfa was left in a remote alley.
At least this time Chen Gui is alive.
After finishing the matter, Zhu Xiang's mood became more stable than when he first arrived.
Lin Yunyan made fresh tea with her and said softly: "Since the trouble has reached the Yamen, the news from the outer room will definitely spread."
"Whether it's good to spread the word," Zhu Xiang said, "it will allow the outside world to know what he is doing. He is not as affectionate as he says."
Seeing that Lin Yunyan hesitated to speak, Zhu Xiang understood and said: "I know, just like you said when you explained me last time, even if the world sees that he has a wife and a son, they will not think that he has committed a crime.
What a mistake.
His wife has been ill for eight years. This kind of thing is so common. Outsiders can't see my mother's pain and will only think about it from my father's perspective.
I understand.
Yes, I still think that he is extremely unlucky and is inexplicably charged with murder.
Actually, I don’t know what’s the best way to do it. I just feel that as long as one level of untrustworthy things in a person is removed, it should be able to remove the next level, right?
If there are too many lies, they will gradually become untenable..."
Listening to Zhu Xiang's words, Lin Yunyan combed her hair.
It seems that Zhu Xiang is not clear about the relationship between Zhu Cheng and Li Yuanfa, so he only thinks it is Li Yuanfa's slander.
Therefore, she did not know Zhu Cheng's role in the theft case.
When the news spreads, Zhu Xiang's disappointment in her father will surely reach a new level.
At the same time, Zhu Xiang’s words are very interesting.
Gently opening and closing her lips, Lin Yunyan recited Zhu Xiang's words silently.
"Just open a layer..."
Suddenly, an idea rushed into Lin Yunyan's mind.
Although it was a baseless guess, she did not let it go.
"How did your mother fall ill?" She asked softly, "She suddenly fell ill and the imperial doctor couldn't diagnose her?"
Zhu Xiang sighed: "It was a few days before her birthday, and I asked her what gift she wanted. She smiled and talked to me, and she seemed to be in good spirits.
Suddenly, she couldn't get up or sit up at all, and she felt dizzy when she moved.
Her father said she was probably tired, and the doctor also said she was tired and told her to have a good rest.
Since that day, my mother has not gotten out of bed. She was conscious at first, then gradually became blurred, and she was less awake than asleep, and then...
Within three months, the person was so thin that there was only a handful of bones left, his breathing was weak, and many doctors said he was exhausted.
Without that life-saving prescription, I might have died in ten and a half months.
It’s better to die, and you don’t have to suffer the pain of the past eight years..."
"Do you know that life-saving prescription?" Lin Yunyan asked.
Zhu Xiang said harshly: "I remember it, I can't remember it more clearly."
"Write me a copy," Lin Yunyan said, "I'll find a doctor to see what kind of prescription can have such a powerful ability to drag out lives."
Zhu Xian followed the instructions and wrote a copy.
Lin Yunyan accepted it.
After Zhu Xiang's mood stabilized, Lin Yunyan sent people away and then returned to the house.
Mother Ma was thinking about the recipe and shook her head at her: "I don't know the secret, but it looks a little familiar."
Lin Yunyan sounded strange: "Does it look familiar?"
"I have seen many prescriptions," said Mother Ma, but she didn't care. "The medicines used here are all ordinary medicines. There is nothing special about them. They can be used for many diseases, so it is not unusual." p>
Near noon, Grandma Wang came back.
"The outer room was moved to six years ago. At that time, I brought a wife with me. The master and servant hardly interacted with the neighbors."
"Because she didn't go out, no one noticed when she got pregnant or when she gave birth. It wasn't until she heard the baby crying that they noticed she had an extra child at home."
"You can tell it's the outer room just by looking at the behavior. Sometimes the man comes and goes in a sedan chair, sometimes in a carriage. If it hadn't been for today's incident, I wouldn't have known that the man was actually the master of the Duke's palace."
"I don't usually have many guests coming to my house. I only saw a young girl two or three times. She was sitting at the door of that house a few days ago. It sounds like she is your good friend Miss Zhu, Princess."
"There was only one woman who said she saw an old man coming here. Once at the beginning of the year, and once at the month before last. It seemed that the father from the outer room came to visit his daughter and grandson, but the way he described it, the slave didn't sound like a man.
An ordinary old man, but he came from the palace. How can an old man there have a daughter?"
Lin Yunyan analyzed.
This old man is most likely to be Madam Wang’s godfather.
If we speculate in this direction, after the fire broke out in Lao Shi Lane at the beginning of the year, my godfather heard the news and came to learn about the disaster. At that time, he found that the foundation was not damaged, so he gave up.
The month before last was when Jing Daguan was working hard to buy Laoshi Lane, but the outcome was still unclear.
The old man knew that Lao Shi Lane was going to fall into the hands of the new owner and needed to be overhauled, so he told Madam Wang everything?
As for whether the old man wants to dig it up or whether the Queen is interested in the wealth, it depends on the results of the questioning in the yamen.
"Thank you for your hard work, Mom," Lin Yunyan said, "I never thought that in just half a day, Mom would be able to achieve such a harvest."
Aunt Wang took the red envelope handed to her by Wan Yue and said: "This slave is better than others in this ability. If the princess can use it, I will be happy to do it."
Lin Yunyan responded with a smile.
After Aunt Wang left, Lin Yunyan prepared a pen and paper and wrote a letter, planning to have Chen Gui deliver it to Xu Jian.
Just as they were applying the paint, Mother Ma quickly came in again: "I'll take a look at that recipe again. The more I think about it, the more familiar it becomes. If I can't remember it, I won't feel at ease."
One more chapter added, see you tomorrow, book friends.
