Xu Qinghuan thought for a moment, and the case made progress here.
Many things were finally confirmed in her heart.
Princess Huayang's face was calm. The girl stood up and bowed to her politely: "Qing Huan's eagerness to investigate the case offended the princess."
After speaking, he raised his head with a hint of apology in his eyes.
Miss Xu came in a hurry, and when she heard her talk about what happened back then, she suddenly felt enlightened, and she looked much more calm than before.
Princess Huayang's heart moved. Xu Qinghuan suddenly stood up and thanked her. It was obvious that he got the answer he wanted from her. This answer was not only what she told about Nie's past, but also her attitude towards the case.
Thinking of this, Princess Huayang's face completely darkened: "What have you planned since you came to ask for an audience?"
Xu Qinghuan once again saluted the eldest princess of Huayang: "I really followed the route that the Nie family took when they fled the capital, and found this place. I happened to see the eldest princess's carriage and horse on the official road, and I remembered the eldest princess's villa.
Nearby."
Princess Huayang said: "What then?"
Xu Qinghuan said: "Then I guessed whether the eldest princess knew some of the inside story of the past. However, the eldest princess has been focusing on recuperating these years and rarely walks around. Even if the female family members come to ask for an audience, most of them will be turned away. After thinking about it, I want to go
, since it doesn’t matter whether we send a greeting card or not, why not just go to the door like this. Anyway, when I was walking back and forth where Mrs. Nie was killed, I was discovered by the steward of the eldest princess’s house. The eldest princess must have known our purpose...
Although it is not polite for me to do this, but...it just shows the eldest princess’s attitude towards this case.”
Princess Huayang's eyes were calm: "That sounds grand, but you have been testing me from the beginning. If I let you in, it at least shows that I know something about the smuggling case against the Zhang family, and I want to know it from you."
Some inside information, otherwise someone would have sent you away long ago."
This was the mistake she made at the beginning. Paying attention to one thing would naturally lead to subconscious choices. Although she didn't say a word, she had already exposed her thoughts.
Xu Qinghuan nodded: "This is indeed what I planned. The eldest princess let me in. My next step is to find out whether the eldest princess is related to the Nie family's case, so I was rude in front of the eldest princess..."
Princess Huayang snorted coldly: "Since you just entered the door, I should have kicked you out."
Xu Qinghuan's face turned red, and she actually showed a bit of girlish naivety: "That's what the eldest princess scolded."
At this moment, the girl seems to be very well behaved.
Princess Huayang said: "When you asked me about the Nie family's incident, you meant something. If I was really related to Nie's death, or was on the side of the Zhang family, I would definitely take it as an excuse.
I scolded you and kicked you out of the house as an excuse. Although you were scolded and blamed by me, you still got the answer you wanted.
If I don't blame you and continue to talk to you, I just have doubts about the case back then, then I may be able to provide some help in this matter."
Xu Qinghuan did not refute, but looked at the eldest princess Huayang: "I am brave enough to come up with such a method. Please forgive me, eldest princess. I didn't realize it until now. It turns out that the eldest princess has already understood everything."
Princess Huayang said: "Don't think that by flattering me a few words, I can forget about it. Can you tell me what I have learned?"
Xu Qinghuan pursed his lips and said immediately: "You know Mrs. Nie, so you naturally know some things about the Nie family. In addition, you saw with your own eyes how Mrs. Nie and her children were killed. Are the words Jiang Zhiyi said true? In your mind
Already made a judgment.
And you also said that Beijing is a place of right and wrong, with all kinds of things happening every day. You used to be interested in watching the excitement, but now you don't want to get involved.
This sentence is to remind me that you have already seen through everything. Our fight with the Zhang family is our business, so don't involve you in it.
You believe that we want to use the Nie family's case against the Zhang family, and Jiang Zhiyi and the Tan family may have been arranged by us in advance."
Princess Huayang looked at Xu Qinghuan with profound meaning in her eyes.
Xu Qinghuan said: "You mentioned to me the situation when you saw Nie being killed with your own eyes, just to tell me that my tricks could not escape your eyes. You already knew that we were lying," she said sincerely.
Looking at the eldest princess Huayang, "Princess, if your daughter-in-law says, this is really not the arrangement of the Anyi Marquis Mansion, do you believe it?"
Princess Huayang lowered her eyes and didn't know what she was thinking about. She paused for a moment and then said: "There were many rumors about Nie back then. Some people said that she had an adopted daughter, and others said that the adopted daughter was secretly born by her. Every month, Nie would
Asking people to send some money and food out is just for the homeless people in nursing homes.
I heard that Nie Rong's adopted daughter was arrested in the Yamen. I knew that someone was deliberately stirring up trouble in Nie Rong's name. I didn't say anything but I didn't want to take care of it.
That's why I said that to you in the beginning. Now that you understand it, I don't need to say more. It doesn't matter whether Nie Rong's adopted daughter is your arrangement or not, because I don't care."
Princess Huayang stood up as she spoke, obviously preparing to leave.
Xu Qinghuan raised his head: "My daughter suspects that someone is manipulating this matter behind the scenes, deliberately making people think that old matters in the Anyi Hou Mansion are being brought up again and she wants to fight with the Zhang family."
Princess Huayang hesitated slightly, but still walked forward.
Seeing that the eldest princess was about to walk out of the house, Xu Qinghuan looked at the back of the eldest princess Huayang and said, "From now on, you will have to ask me for anything."
Princess Huayang heard the crisp voice of the girl behind her.
"Elder Princess, you said this to Mrs. Nie," Xu Qinghuan continued, "Elder Princess, have you ever thought that Mrs. Nie walked west after leaving the capital, maybe not to escape... but to come?
Looking for your help."
Princess Huayang's footsteps stopped.
Xu Qinghuan continued: "I saw that she was about to arrive, but I didn't expect that she would be surrounded by people from the government. You heard the news and rushed over with people, but unfortunately you were just a little short... What you saw was Mrs. Nie and her child.
corpse."
Princess Huayang suddenly turned around and looked at Xu Qinghuan. Although she had experienced so many things and had been able to look at everything calmly, she still couldn't help being frightened when she heard these words.
If Mr. Nie really came to ask her for help, then there might be another hidden secret about what happened back then.
Xu Qinghuan said: "When the rebellion was involved, it was inconvenient even for you to ask about the Nie family's case. But now that the Nie family has been dead for more than ten years, they are still being used by others. If we just let it go, we don't know how many more people will be involved."
was implicated in it.
The person behind this seems to have captured everyone's thoughts, and can do whatever he wants with this. Princess, if you really don't care about these things, you won't talk so much to your daughter... Although you said
You are just a spectator, but you have actually helped me a lot. I will remember the kindness of the eldest princess."
