Chapter 304: Magu has a story
The lights in the backyard were dim, and it was not easy to see who was coming, the old woman raised her head, Ouyang Shuo frowned, and only then did she suddenly realize when she saw it clearly.
"Magu?"
"It's hard for His Royal Highness King Chen, Rili can still remember me as an old woman. Just now, the old woman was unintentional, and she scared this young lady, which is really a sin. ”
Hearing the voice clearly, Sang Qingrou slowly poked her head out and saw that it was an old woman in the pile of paper figures, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.
It turned out to be a false alarm!
It's just that this old woman's appearance is different from ordinary people, because her face is full of scars from burns. No wonder, what she saw just now was such a face, and the environment was dark, but this face suddenly emerged from the pile of paper figures, and it was strange that she was not frightened.
Qingrou also realized that she had been rude just now, and immediately stepped forward to apologize to the old man.
"I'm sorry! I didn't see it clearly, I thought you were ...... It's rude!"
Magu coughed twice, looked at Sang Qingrou carefully, and while surprised, she smiled again: "It's rare that there is a young and bold person like this young lady who dares to come to my dilapidated Yizhuang in the middle of the night." It's normal for you to be scared. Even in broad daylight, when others see my wife's dignity, they will be scared away, let alone the situation just now.
Sang Qingrou was extremely embarrassed, usually she was quite bold, but today, when she saw Magu's face just now, and the strange atmosphere around her, she was taken aback.
"Your face, this is ......"
"Don't mention old things. Looking at this young lady's words and deeds, she is quite extraordinary, and she is by the side of His Royal Highness King Chen, and she is deeply loved, presumably, you are the eldest daughter of Prime Minister Sang Cheng's family that everyone has been talking about recently, Miss Qingrou, right?"
It was the first time that Sang Qingrou had heard someone else call herself like this, and she was suddenly a little embarrassed.
"You're welcome! Just call me Qingrou. I am often talked about, probably because my behavior is unruly, which is why I am criticized. ”
"Rules are used to restrain people, and they also limit people's abilities. There are very few women like the eldest lady nowadays. His Royal Highness King Chen has a good eye and has found a very good princess for himself. ”
Don't look at Magu's scary appearance, in fact, she is a kind old man. When he saw them coming, he enthusiastically led them to the inner hall and sat down.
"Some coarse tea and snacks, I hope the prince and the eldest lady will not dislike it. ”
Sang Qingrou looked at the delicate snacks in the rough dishes, and was a little surprised: "Are these made by yourself?"
"Lady try it, and if you like it, you can take some back. ”
Sang Qingrou tasted it, this exquisite mung bean cake, the entrance is soft and glutinous and sweet, it is more delicious than the one sold in the shop outside, with a sip of tea, just right, sweet but not greasy, and the aftertaste is endless.
"I don't know, the prince and the eldest lady came to Yizhuang late at night, what happened?"
Magu asked, and Sang Qingrou remembered what they were going to do, and she was embarrassed.
"Look at me, I almost forgot all the important things. I came with the prince to check on Liu Sheng's body. Before, she specially applied raw glutinous rice, just to see if there was corpse poison on Liu Sheng's wound.
Only if you are injured by a corpse will the wound be poisoned. If you hurt a living person, you will lose consciousness and do crazy and terrible things. Like Liu Sheng, Sang Qingrou can't be sure whether Liu Sheng will die because of the corpse poison attack on his heart, and become a walking corpse after death.
"Is that a corpse?" Magu looked at Sang Qingrou thoughtfully: "It's really an accident, the eldest lady is from the Prime Minister's Mansion, but she understands these things." This is something that most people don't look down on and won't do. ”
Sang Qingrou smiled: "I just think there is some meaning, I can do something for the people." Liu Sheng died a miserable death, and he should be given justice. ”
Magu said sarcastically: "Don't you think that Liu Sheng died in the kiln, is he innocent of death? A man is married but is not responsible for his own family, and his wife who has a bad chaff in the family should be disgusted, and he thinks about the woman outside all day long." In my opinion, the fault is not with the woman, but with the man himself. ”
As she spoke, her face visibly turned ugly.
Sang Qingrou looked at Ouyang Shuo, puzzled why Magu was so excited.
"Magu, Liu Sheng's death, there are many doubts, and this king is also acting on orders. What's more, people are already dead. ”
"That's it, it's from the Lyshodo-Tang anyway, so come with me!"
Sang Qingrou followed behind with doubts, and when she saw Magu walking with a limp, she didn't dare to ask more. But she concluded that there must be a lot of stories behind Magu. The scars on her face are the best proof of this.
Liu Sheng's body was stored in a coffin, a new coffin bought by the Sun family, with carving craftsmanship on it.
Magu lit up and waited, while muttering: "A man like Liu Sheng, when he dies, and his wife of the chaff buys him such exquisite longevity materials, if he knows everything from the spring, what kind of face does he have to see the Sun family?"
"Has the Sun family been here?" Qingrou thought that the Sun family loved face, and her husband died in the kiln, she was definitely not happy in her heart, I was afraid that she would ignore Liu Sheng, at most she would ask the truth, and she would not care anymore, continue to live her own fast life, and start again. Unexpectedly, she would treat Liu Sheng well and buy such a good coffin for him.
Sang Qingrou muttered: "I don't want the Sun family to still be very affectionate to Liu Sheng, I thought that with her temper, I am afraid that she will not care about Liu Sheng's future affairs." ”
"People are dead, what's the use of blaming. What's more, Liu Sheng still died in vain. ”
Magu didn't look at it, but said indifferently: "Look at it slowly, I'm going to continue to be my paper figure." ”
After Magu finished speaking, she couldn't wait to leave, as if if she stayed for a while, she would be contaminated with something, and her face was full of disgust for Liu Sheng.
Sang Qingrou thought, probably disgusted with a man like Liu Sheng who went out to find a woman, and when she saw him dead, she only felt that she deserved it.
"Who is Magu? Looks like she knows you!"
Ouyang Shuo sighed: "He was one of the palace maids favored by the king's mother and concubine before his death, and he didn't stay in the palace because he was married." ”
"Since she is married, how can she ......"
Her husband is the same as Liu Sheng. Back then, he promised that he would only love her in his life. But not long after marriage, he brought the Qinglou woman into the mansion and took her as a concubine. ”
Sang Qingrou raised her eyebrows slightly, it turned out to be like this. I didn't see that Magu still had such a past.
"And what happened? How did the wound on her face come about, and how did she become the caretaker of Yizhuang?"
Ouyang Shuo looked at her: "When did you become interested in these things?"
"You've said it all, I'll ask by the way. Anyway, being idle is also idle, and don't delay gossiping. ”
Re-examination of corpses is a common thing, and Sang Qingrou has long been used to it. I happened to see Magu today, and I was a little curious, so I asked a few more questions.
