Chapter 49: Fallen
Back in the house, Sang Qingrou thought about it and only guessed one possibility.
The other party held the soft underbelly of the carrot as a threat, and this weakness was enough to make the carrot disregard his life.
She is a girl, what can make her pay so much attention?
"Ruyu, if it were you, what would you do for it, not even your life?" she half-lay on the bed, trying to remember, but still couldn't think of something useful.
The carrot and the housekeeper were so loyal to the people behind them, which Sang Qingrou did not expect. Normally, she's in control, shouldn't they tell the truth?
"For the identity of a slave and maid, what she cares about is nothing more than her family. We were born in poor families, and our families could not afford to support them, so we came to the mansions of high-ranking officials and dignitaries to help our families. ”
Sang Qingrou suddenly realized: "Ruyu, the carrot is dead, the government should send someone to appease the carrot's family! ”
"That's for sure, Miss, why are you asking this?"
"You go along, secretly help me keep an eye on the carrots, see if there is anything unusual about them, and then come back and tell me. ”
"Yes!"
Fortunately, Sang Qingrou was grounded, and the maidservants around her still had freedom of movement. If she guessed correctly, Carrot's family must have gained a lot of benefits, otherwise, Carrot would not have even wanted her own life in order to keep the secret.
Seeing the fresh life disappear like this for the first time, Sang Qingrou felt a little emotional.
Perhaps, others are used to seeing this, but she can't accept it.
Who has such a big enmity with her, in order to calculate her, he can ignore the lives of others.
In this world of despicable human life, if she wants to live in peace, does it really have to become a luxury?
If you have a noble status, you are destined to fall into all kinds of conspiracies. If you are an ordinary person, you will be like a carrot, and you will not be able to control your own life. Human life is like a mustard, that's probably it. She can't change the rules of this world, she can only be careful and live in the cracks.
The waiting time was like a year, and the people passing by looked at Xiyuan with strange eyes, as if it was a flood beast living inside.
Near noon, Jin Yuyan took her personal maid to see Sang Qingrou. Seeing that she was lying lazily and didn't plan to have lunch, she frowned.
"Are you going to lie like this all the time? look at the way you look now, where you still look like my daughter!"
Seeing Sang Qingrou like this, Jin Yuyan was extremely disappointed, stepped forward in three or two steps, and suddenly dragged her up from the soft collapse.
"Mother!" Sang Qingrou frowned, she really didn't want to live according to her wishes as her mother said, it was not the life she wanted.
"Do you remember that I am your mother? It's just an extra scar on your face, as for what makes you crazy all day long? Look at what you have become now, where do you still look like a daughter of the prime minister!"
It's these words again, Sang Qingrou is tired of hearing them, she is pressed by this layer of identity, so does she want to live step by step?
"You also know that I am already like this, why do you have to ask me to marry a man who doesn't love me? Do you think that I will be happy as Princess Chen?"
"I don't know if you'll be happy, but if you're my daughter, I won't allow you to marry a man at will. This is your mission, but also your honor. ”
"I didn't want this honor at all, whoever likes to take it. Isn't Sang Xiaoxi looking forward to being Princess Chen? Since King Chen doesn't like me, why should I put it upside down? Don't I want to lose face?"
Jin Yuyan was stunned for a moment, she didn't know where her daughter learned this set of rhetoric, she didn't know how to say it before.
"Qingrou, where did you learn these words?"
Sang Qingrou realized that she had slipped her mouth, and hurriedly explained: "These are just my thoughts, mother, don't be suspicious." Without waiting for her to react, Sang Qingrou took the opportunity to quickly change the topic.
"Mother, you came here, is there anything wrong?"
"Naturally, it's for last night's incident! Both the carrot and Steward Chen's residences have been searched, and some things have been found, but none of them are enough to prove anything. Now that there is no one around, I just ask you, how did you appear in the backyard garden at such a late hour, and break the ugly thing about the housekeeper and the carrots?"
She said, placing her things on the table.
It's nothing more than a sachet hairpin as a token, this kind of thing, really doesn't have much effect.
"If you have to say something like this, you can say that someone else planted it and stuffed it. You don't like housekeepers, but tell me, why is it so big?"
Sang Qingrou looked at Jin Yuyan in surprise: "Mother, should you, even you believe the housekeeper......'s words, right?" I had known about the affair between the housekeeper and the carrot, so I waited there. I just wanted to ask something from them, who knows, Carrot actually sacrificed her life to protect the people behind her. ”
"What is the person behind it?" Jin Yuyan looked at her suspiciously, how could the problem of the subordinate fornication involve the person behind it?
Sang Qingrou couldn't hide it, so she had to tell what had happened recently.
"Mother, you are so shrewd, you will understand if you think about it. There are not so many coincidences in this world, and I dare say that there must be someone behind my back who is staring at me and deliberately targeting me. Otherwise, why didn't the carrot even want her life, but also to protect the person behind her? If I had planted it, or had not been instructed by anyone, she could have begged for mercy instead of choosing to die. “
Jin Yuyan thought about it carefully, and Sang Qingrou's words were reasonable.
It's just that......
She frowned and thought deeply: "Dignified Prime Minister, who dares to calculate on your head? You are the eldest lady, and you have your backing for your mother, you can rest assured." Didn't these two times have no effect on you? Even if someone is staring at you, they don't dare to do anything to you. ”
Jin Yuyan sighed: "It's normal to be stared at, your identity is here, how many people are watching." Not to mention you, even me, I am always being watched, and I dare not make a mistake in my words and deeds. My identity does not allow me to make mistakes! Qingrou, you have to get used to it, be cautious in your words and deeds. ”
"Mother, this is harboring bad intentions. ”
"You and I can't control other people's minds, and if you do it, it won't help if others are staring. At the end of the day, if you don't follow the rules yourself, you can't blame anyone else. With me, no one can hurt you, and you don't have to worry about these things. Your mind should be on King Chen, don't you understand?"
"Mother, are you so confident? Don't you think you underestimate your enemies?"
If Sang Qingrou is not mistaken, Jin Yuyan will end up in a fiasco, just because she is too light on the enemy.
