Chapter 29 The truth, the moon in the copper basin (double update today)
Holly used the powder hidden in the bell to kill the old lady.
Yu Ren obeyed the princess's instructions and collected everything in Fengting Garden until it was buried. Wutong may have been worried that the bell's anomaly would be discovered, so he took the risk to steal the bell. As a result, he had a dispute with Yu Ren and missed the bell.
He kills.
In order to cover up the traces and get away with the crime, he collected some valuables and pretended to be a thief.
Then I heard that Lanche Garden was on fire, and I hurriedly went to put out the fire. I was afraid that I would be suspicious if I went too late, so I grabbed an empty barrel on the road. There was water everywhere in the garden, so I just waited until I got closer to Lanche Garden to look for it.
Fill a wooden bucket half full in a pond to give the illusion of arriving late as you have been carrying heavy items along the way.
But in this case, there must be no time to find a place to hide the things, so they can only hide the things on the way to Lanche Garden. But the other garden is flooded, and the further you go, the more people there are, so naturally it is most likely to be buried in the parking lot.
The place where the feet hold things.
Dongqing, who has been in the outer courtyard since the old lady's death, must have learned about the princess's order much later than Wutong, the steward. I am afraid that when she rushed to Yu Ren's place, she found that the person was dead and the bell was gone.
Naturally, he would think of Wutong, and in order to help him escape the crime, he facilitated all this.
Yu Qiansi stood with her hands behind her hands. The breeze fell quietly into the garden, gently lifting the corners of the woman's blazing skirt, and her leering posture made people suddenly dizzy.
"I discovered the strange flowers and plants in Fengting Garden yesterday, and I have already suspected the person who maintains the flowers and plants. Although the flowers and plants are common in ordinary yards, they are all fragrant and fragrant. You do not hesitate to spend more time and carefully maintain different soil materials every day.
, all those flowers must be gathered together in order to cover up the fragrance of this medicinal powder."
After all, Cuizhu is not easy to deal with. If she discovers the powder in the pottery bell, she will naturally be found out.
Yesterday, Yu Qiansi's many investigations must have reminded Cuizhu of everything. In order to help his son take the blame, he took all the blame and died.
"It's just that I don't quite understand something. How do you know it was Wutong who killed someone?"
I saw Wutong’s serious accident just now, and it didn’t look like a fake.
Wutong still had his head lowered, looking uninspired, but he unexpectedly opened his mouth and directly answered Yu Qiansi's question. His dry voice sounded like an old man's sudden change.
"It's coal essence. That piece of coal essence was given to me by her. I accidentally dropped it during the fight."
With just one sentence, he recognized his identity as the murderer.
Dongqing was shocked when she heard this, and stood there slumped, and then defended without giving up.
"I secretly put this powder in, and he didn't know about it. Everything I said is true!"
"So what?" Yu Qiansi stood indifferently and asked, "So what? He still killed someone for you."
The cold and shallow sentences were like cutting Dongqing's throat with a sharp knife, leaving her mouth open and unable to say another word.
That's right, it was you who harmed him after all.
She looked into Wutong's eyes across the sea of people, and their eyes met. Wutong suddenly smiled, and in an instant, they both understood each other.
She has never regretted it, and so does he.
Wutong stood quietly on the spot, dejected but indifferent, without saying a word, as if the world had nothing to do with him.
Everything is illusion, everything is empty.
"Why?"
Yu Anning was full of doubts and found Wutong without focus, "Grandma treats you so well, why do you want to collaborate with others to harm her?"
Wutong laughed sadly.
"Princess Princess, you have been favored by thousands of people since you were born. Naturally, you don't know how difficult it is for a descendant like me, who is a sinner and has no slaves."
He looked up across the sea of people and looked back into Dongqing's eyes.
Abacus calculation, running business, welcoming and sending people, and even studying. Which one of them is inferior to those poor students? But because his ancestors made mistakes, he can only be a slave and depend on others for the rest of his life.
But life is just like this. If there is no hope and living numbly, it is not painful.
But if someone gives you hope, but in the end makes you stand under the moon holding a copper basin, disturbing the moon in the water, and laughing at your whims, that is the real pain.
That kind of pain makes you unable to sleep day and night. Every time you think of it, you sigh and toss and turn, unable to fall asleep. Why, why is it only so far away? Why can't you reach that bright moon?
Wutong looked back at Yu Anning with determination and sneered: "On that snowy day ten years ago, the old lady told my father to drive her to Junyuan Temple to offer incense and pray for blessings. If this was accomplished, he would become the kingpin.
Take away the slavery of our whole family and give us our freedom.”
That was the first time my father grasped hope.
That honest man who had lived a life of poverty, with a smile that seemed to have been carved into his face by a knife, wanted to fight for his smart son.
The middle-aged man may not know what happened, but he is definitely feeling uneasy. He is uneasy because this opportunity comes so easily, but he is also happy that this opportunity comes so easily.
Before leaving, he touched his son's head and smiled deeply: "Wutong, when dad comes back, we can change back to our original surname. At that time, our family of three will leave the capital and find a place with beautiful scenery to settle down.
Dad can still find a school. My son is so smart, even if he fails to take the imperial examination, he will definitely achieve great things in the future!"
So he also looked forward to it and was excited.
It would be great if the snow could stop, it would be great if my father could come back earlier, it would be great if I could go to school earlier. In the future, I will be famous all over the world and let everyone know how smart I am!
But in the end, he didn't even wait for his body.
Ten years ago, before the turmoil subsided, bandits made trouble in the suburbs of Beijing. They robbed the carriage of the Marquis of Guang'an and forced Mrs. Marquis to fall off a cliff and die.
No one survived.
He even hoped that the old lady might let him and his mother go for the sake of their family's loyalty to the Lord.
But the old lady who fasted and chanted Buddha's name and kept saying "all living beings suffer", after knowing everything, pretended that nothing happened. She even turned around and continued to use this tempting bait to deceive her mother and not be loyal to her.
two.
It's like fresh and sweet fruits and vegetables that can never be reached in front of the mules and horses' foreheads.
Their family is nothing more than that.
Until he met Holly.
It wasn't like he hadn't noticed the hidden hatred in Dongqing's eyes, which flickered from time to time, but was obscured by the submissive eyelashes.
He became the manager of Waiyuan at a young age, not to mention that he didn't understand Dongqing's deliberate approach to him.
But so what?
In essence, they are no different. The hatred and madness in Dongqing's eyes made him sink unconsciously.
In the midst of temptation and indulgence, the two of them have their own thoughts, but their two cold hearts get closer and closer.
If there is no way forward, then let's die together.
Human beings are divided into three, six or nine categories from birth. Do they also count in the face of death?
Therefore, he was the one who reminded Dongqing that his mother was very good at creating and destroying all things, so she must be cautious. It was he who deliberately proposed to make pottery bells for Fengtingyuan, and pretended not to see Dongqing secretly add powder to the bells.
It was he who hung the bell in the pavilion with his own hands, intending to let the arrogant and superior old lady experience the pain of being powerless.
However, when everything happened, he was a little panicked. Perhaps the woman who devoted herself to the Lord should live a good life and live a good life with him.
It's a pity that God went against his wishes and he killed Yu Ren by mistake. Everything became more and more uncontrollable like a runaway horse.
What he didn't expect was that Dongqing would have the same thoughts as him.
Thinking of this, he buried his head and smiled bitterly.
She must also want to take it out and take it all by herself.
The two of them had just met each other's eyes, and they had already understood each other: the pain of living alone, the disturbance of the world, is really unbearable, so it is better to die together and go hand in hand through mountains of swords and seas of fire, so that this friendship will not be wasted.
Yu Anning seemed to have forgotten to breathe. When he reached the limit, he took a big breath and argued.
"No, grandma didn't lie! She. She really planned to let you go. It's just..."
Kong opened his mouth, his mind went blank.
She didn't know what reasons to use to convince others. Her grandmother had never told her anything, and even what happened to Boyi was inferred by her based on the half-broken letter in her hand.
"Princess Princess."
Dong Qing called Yu An Ning with a calm look as if she was about to die.
This was the first time she spoke to her little master, and probably the last time.
"Princess, the old lady deserves to die! She was the one who killed the lady back then! She knew that the road was difficult in the snow and the capital was unstable, but she still forced the lady to go up the mountain to pray for her in the snow. If not, how could the lady have met those thieves? Bandit, fell off the cliff and died?!"
Yu Anning seemed to have encountered a ferocious beast. She was so frightened that she backed away and almost fell to the ground.
It was Boyi who helped her, but Boyi's expression was not much better.
But Holly kept on peeling off the window paper that had been covered with yellowing warmth for many years.
"The old lady has pampered you for many years. She never teaches you the rules of a wealthy family, nor does she let you get involved in internal affairs. She even doesn't force you to learn basic courses for wealthy women such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. She is not pampering you. , she is harming you!"
Yu Anning was at a loss and helpless. She didn't want to hear it, but every word struck her heart.
