Of course, this question is never appropriate to ask in public.
"Over the years, your food and clothing expenses in the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion have always been much higher than those of concubines in other mansions. Since you suffered from insomnia, all the doctors in Beijing have invited you. As the master, I
Mother, I dare to say that no one in the house, up and down, will treat you a single penny!"
At this time, Mrs. Cui looked at Mrs. Ruan, who was already in a trance, and said: "Under this situation, you are still unwilling to settle down. To put it bluntly, you are dissatisfied! An unsatisfied concubine said that she wanted a child just because she could
By your side, you are yourself, do you dare to believe this?"
She dared to say with certainty that even if the child was born, with an aunt like Ruan around, it would never be something that could not be fought over in the future - it even came into this world because of the calculation of the biological mother, not to mention what would happen next.
road!
Don't tell her that you won't be lonely if you have children with you. She wanted to teach Ruan to play horse hanging earlier, but Ruan was very reluctant. There are many ways to deal with loneliness in the world, but Ruan chose her.
The most vicious one!
yes……
Xu Mingyi nodded in agreement again.
The road of life is short, and Ruan still wants to take shortcuts - when you meet such a person, what else can you do besides being angry?
Wouldn't it be better to live well and live longer?
The elders have already said what needs to be said, but she herself is impatient. Just because she has just "returned" to the age of sixteen, she is still a little uncomfortable with it, and she hopes to stay with her family for a while and listen more.
They were talking, and then they sat here and listened quietly for so long——
Now, she had to ask herself the real question.
"You said that my father made up his mind to ask someone to deliver the medicine after he went to Xiyuan. You also said that my mother was only one of them because she was worried about me." Xu Mingyi looked at Ruan and asked, "What do you think about these thoughts?"
How did you get it?"
She just noticed that Ruan's expression didn't hesitate at all when he said these words. It didn't look like he had come to a conclusion based on her own imagination.
"Of course I saw it myself!" Ruan's expression was almost crazy.
"Are you really seeing what you saw? Or are you saying that after hearing other people's words with ulterior motives and having prejudice in your eyes, everything you see looks like a monster?"
This time, before Ruan could answer, Xu Mingyi asked in a determined tone: "If I guess correctly, the person who has turned a deaf ear to you in the past few years should be the person who conspired with you this time, right?"
Upon hearing this, Ruan Shiben's eyes flashed close to chaos.
"What conspiracy..."
She smiled without much expression and raised her eyes to look at Xu Mingyi: "Does this little trick require any conspiracy?"
"I have the peace talisman with me. If no one emboldens each other, I'm afraid I won't be able to take this step at all. Besides, small tricks also require a way-" the girl said calmly: "This evergreen grass from the Western Regions is everywhere in the Western Regions."
It’s a banned drug, and it’s not something you can buy casually in Beijing.”
Ruan's eyes froze for a moment.
"Western Region?"
Xu Qiwei frowned and said, "Zhao Zhao is saying that this poison comes from the Western Regions?"
Xu Mingyi nodded.
"That's right, it was Akui who told me."
Everyone looked at A Kui with confirmation.
"..."
In one day, Akui, who had received such looks too many times, clenched her trembling fingers and nodded as calmly as possible: "Yes."
Although she had never heard of what Everlasting Grass was, it was whatever the girl said it was...
"Western Region..."
Mrs. Cui repeated these two words in a low voice, and her expression gradually changed.
The biological mother of Miss Liu who lived in the mansion, and who later remarried, seemed to be a businessman from the Western Regions!
She could imagine it, and Xu Qiwei and others naturally thought of it one after another.
This is also the reason why Xu Mingyi suspected Liu Yi before without any evidence——
When she was in Yangzhou earlier, she heard Doctor Qiu say that the poison came from the Western Regions, and she subconsciously thought of Liu Yi.
Of course, it was just a trace of suspicion at that time, and after the incident in the Xu family, Liu Yi, who had been unwilling to marry, was not able to avoid being implicated. Although he survived because he was not a blood relative, he still ended up being exiled -
—Therefore, she had no way to investigate and verify.
"You are still stubborn and refuse to reveal your accomplices, but you still want to leave a hidden danger to the Zhenguo government!"
Xu Qiwei slapped the case and stood up, his eyes full of anger: "You are just asking for trouble if you think you are right!"
He is not a respectable family head!
Regarding his granddaughter's safety, he had to investigate the matter thoroughly today!
Mrs. Cui heard what the old man meant and immediately called two rough ladies who were guarding outside the hall to come in.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, a crisp "click" was heard, followed immediately by Ruan's scream——
It was Azhu who couldn't wait but broke the other's arm without any expression.
She has been waiting for too long, and finally waited for her masters to relent, and of course she was unwilling to leave this good opportunity to others.
Seeing this scene, the two women looked at each other and stood silently behind Ah Zhu.
Ruan's face turned pale with pain and she was sweating.
However, he took a strong breath in his heart and gritted his teeth tightly, still not wanting to say a word.
At this moment, Azhu's hand held her other arm...
After holding it tightly, it was slightly loosened, and it was about to be folded but not yet——
In a few breaths, amidst such terrible suffering, the breath in Ruan's heart, which was on the verge of collapse, finally dissipated quickly.
"It's Liu Yi! It's her!"
...It's not that she can't hold on, it's just that the Xu family has already made it clear that they have guessed what happened to Liu Yi. No matter how hard she talks, it's meaningless! - Mrs. Ruan cried sadly and desperately in her heart before she passed out from the pain.
shouted.
At this time, a burly middle-aged man came outside the hall.
That was none other than Azhu's father, Zhu Xiu.
"The matter that the girl asked me to check this afternoon has come to fruition. The Western Region businessman that Qin married has already left the capital with Qin as early as a month ago. The Western Region spice shop they opened
, it was also re-rented by someone else ten days ago and turned into a lacquerware shop."
Xu Qiwei looked furious.
... He must have heard that the girl from his Zhen Guogong Palace was suffering from narcolepsy, and realized Liu Yi's intentions. He was afraid that he would be implicated if exposed, so he fled the capital!
"Bring Mrs. Liu for questioning immediately!"
The night is thick and muggy.
In the darkness, Liu Yi was holding a heavy bundle, so anxious that his whole body was wet with sweat.
She originally wanted to leave at night, but she found that the entire Zhenguo Palace was uncharacteristically being carefully guarded!
Even the few small doors that are not often opened have been replaced with new locks!
Of course it won't work if you force your way in.
She forced herself to calm down, and after a moment, she ran towards a lighted yard not far ahead.
