What's the expression on Xu Qing'an's face? It seems like a subordinate who has taken advantage of his boss, looking like he's going to be in trouble.
This bastard, if he had a stick in his hand now, An Yihou would have broken Xu Qingan's legs.
An Yihou said with a serious face: "Whatever you are doing here, please go back to me. No one is allowed to tell anyone what happened tonight."
In normal times, An Yihou's words would definitely make Xu Qingan run away, but it was different today. Xu Qingan felt as if he had an imperial edict in person, holding his head high and looking at the woman behind Anyi Hou.
Xu Qing'an saw that the woman was born with a duck's egg or an oval face, which was much worse than her mother's round face. As for why a round face is good-looking, it must be because it looks noble.
This woman's eyebrows are not sparse, but they are definitely not as slender as her mother's. Her mouth looks similar. Her skin...skin, Xu Qing'an raised his head and recalled his mother's skin color. In the end, he decided that his mother was prettier than this woman.
Much fairer.
In short, my mother is prettier than this woman, but my father is blind and has such an outside wife.
The woman lowered her head and did not dare to say anything.
Xu Qingan suddenly remembered something again and looked around: "Are there any children?"
If you raise an outside wife and have a bastard, wouldn't it be an extra level of sin? If you cause trouble to your grandmother, even if your father is a marquis, you will be punished by kneeling in the ancestral hall. How cold the wind is in the ancestral hall at night, the old man should taste it for himself.
"That's enough," An Yihou threatened again, "What's going on? I'll let your mother explain it when I go back. There's no need for you to point fingers here."
Xu Qinghuan raised her head slightly. Her father would rather let her brother misunderstand her than explain. Taking advantage of her brother's entanglement with her father, she quickly looked around the room.
The room is not big, and there is a small offering table vaguely found in the corner. On the table are an incense burner, bowls, chopsticks and wine glasses.
It didn't look like a shrine, but more like a tablet enshrining someone. Xu Qinghuan raised his feet and walked towards the altar table. The woman next to him raised his head and glanced at Xu Qinghuan, with a somewhat nervous expression on her face.
There is indeed a tablet on the altar table, with the name of Yang Gongyue written on it.
Who is Yang Yue?
There is also a dark iron ring placed next to the wine glass on the table. The material is very rough, but the surface is polished smooth. It has obviously been used or wiped frequently.
Since it was placed on the altar table, it must be something cherished by the person holding the memorial tablet. Xu Qinghuan could not easily reach out and touch it, so he stood in front of the altar table and thought about it carefully.
Since the last time she talked with her father in the study about what happened to Nie Rong's family, she realized that her father had other thoughts about the rebellion of King Wei, so while investigating the case of the Sun family, she also
During the rebellion case, she carefully recalled the people and things related to her father, and realized that even though she had lived through two lives, she knew very little about them, but it was not nothing.
Xu Qinghuan saluted the tablet on the altar table.
Such a small gesture made everyone in the room look over at her.
Xu Qingan was puzzled: "Sister, what are you doing?" He was about to roll up his sleeves and prepare to fight with his father, but his sister talked about etiquette indiscriminately.
Marquis Anyi also realized that due to the entanglement of his unsatisfactory son, he had neglected his clever daughter.
"Whose tablet is this enshrined in?" Xu Qinghuan turned to the woman and asked.
Xu Qingan was even more angry: "Sister, are you stupid?" Is this the time to pay attention to the tablets?
The woman pursed her lips and said, "It's... the memorial tablet of my benefactor."
Xu Qing'an looked down on his father even more. Everyone had benefactors, but his father kept pestering him like this. Maybe the outsider was forced to stay here.
"My benefactor, or a member of the family?" Xu Qinghuan spoke again, "The food in this bowl seems to be new, and the thing inside should be hibiscus cake."
The woman hurriedly said: "My benefactor likes to eat hibiscus cake."
Xu Qinghuan nodded: "Someone took a bite of the pastry on top, so he was tasting it for the person on the memorial tablet."
The woman's face froze.
Xu Qinghuan continued: "You treat your benefactor with respect, and you can be so close to your family members."
The woman was speechless. She vaguely felt that even if she found a better reason to refute, Miss Xu would not believe it.
Xu Qinghuan asked: "Does father know a person named Yang Yue?"
There was no expression on An Yihou's face: "You brothers and sisters, please don't make trouble here anymore. I will take care of things here and will talk to you."
Xu Qinghuan shook his head: "Father doesn't know Yang Yue, because this tablet is not dedicated to Yang Yue."
Without waiting for others to speak, Xu Qinghuan continued: "The character "Yang" can be broken down into wood, "朜", "朜" means the length of a day, and "朜" looks like Yi. Yi and the moon form Yi Yue. There is a saying called 'the sun changes the moon'.
In this way, Yi Yue can be regarded as the character "日", so whether we say the character "朜" or the character "月", it all leads to the character "日". The character "日" forms a new character with the wood in front of it, and the day of wood is Gao,
"Shuowen" says that Gao means Ming."
When Xu Qinghuan said this, Marquis Anyi's expression also changed slightly.
Xu Qinghuan continued: "My father had two lieutenants, one of whom was named Jiang Yao, also known as Ming Gong. When the King of Wei conspired to rebel, he followed the King of Wei and was shot dead by the court. The person on this tablet must be Jiang Yao! Jiang Yao's
His archery skills are very good, it is not an exaggeration to say that he can pierce a poplar with a hundred steps, and the iron ring placed on the table is used for archery, and it should be Jiang Yao's old possessions."
The woman's lips trembled slightly.
Xu Qinghuan looked at the woman: "And you should be a female member of General Jiang's family."
The woman's eye circles suddenly turned red, probably because the people standing in the room were all people from the Anyihou Mansion. Anyihou was an insider. Miss Xu had found evidence again, so there was no need to hide it anymore, so
She just slightly indulged her emotions.
If someone else had questioned her, she would have refused to admit it even to death.
Xu Qing'an also looked surprised. There were too many secrets discovered tonight. He couldn't understand for a moment. Was his father harboring the family members of the rebels? This is a serious crime.
The crime of rebellion will be punished by the nine clans, and my father's courage is too great. In comparison, the things he did in the past are so insignificant.
"Father, you came here tonight to get this wife to leave the capital to avoid trouble," Xu Qinghuan said, "You have thought that if the Zhang family wants to escape from this case, they will inevitably make a fuss about the rebellion.
Anyihou Mansion may become the target of public criticism."
An Yihou's face became even more serious, Qing Huan had guessed everything.
"Now that things have happened, there is no need to hide the secret you have hidden in your heart," Xu Qinghuan looked at Jiang Yao's tablet, "Since I can guess this, other people must also be able to guess the inside story, let alone deal with the Anyi Marquis Mansion.
People come prepared, so just avoiding it is not a solution, it is better to give it a try."
