Chapter 83: Nature
More than a month has passed since the thrilling interception, and for more than a month, Li Xun has returned to Lin'an with Jiao's family, a son and a daughter, and continues to be his Jianshui Yicheng. Li Yue and Li Di entered Guangxi according to the original plan after determining that Zhao Yanheng's life was not in danger, as for tracking down the real mastermind, all of them were hidden in the shadows, unless it was the person who did it, not to mention that few people in the capital knew the truth about King Xiang's injury, that is, Kunming City, and they all said that the killer came to King Xiang, and later King Xiang recuperated in Guo's other village, and it was placed nearby.
The rain curtain outside the curtain was misty, the rain accumulated on the rubble, pouring down in a line of water, Li Fei and Mrs. Li lay side by side on the elm rocking chair, listening to the sound of the rain, while talking about the old people and old things of the Xuanguo Mansion. Mainly Li Fei asked, Mrs. Li said, what kind of person is the lady Cai of the Xuanguo Mansion?
"That's a woman with a lot of skills. β
Mrs. Li sighed with such emotion and said: "Belly fighting, it is also a woman's ability, especially in the family of Xiangjue, this is almost a woman's greatest ability, the old man was fifty years old at that time, his son-in-law died suddenly, there was no successor to the family business, Cai's entered the door for a year, and gave birth to a son, this is Cai's greatest ability, but she has another ability that is not inferior to giving birth to a son." β
Li Fei stood up and listened.
"Cai's, and now Xu's mother Xiao Cai, they were born in a poor family, their biological father died early, their mother took them to remarry, the sisters followed their stepfather, only to have the surname Cai, Cai's family is not a wealthy family, small households, open their eyes is firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, Cai's family and Zhu's family are relatives who are cornering, when they were seven or eight years old, Cai's family followed her mother, often went to Zhu's house to play the autumn breeze, the autumn wind played more times, people hate dogs, that's it, eleven or twelve-year-old Cai, sitting on the mansion with low eyebrows, but like a stunned wooden beauty, poke it without movingγ "At the beginning, Zhu Qin and Li Yue discussed marriage, Mrs. Li carefully inquired about the character of this in-law, and now recalling the events of forty years ago, Mrs. Zhu has her own opinions: "It is said that Cai's family has not studied for a few days in her mother's house, and she has no knowledge and insight, her greatest ability is to give birth to a son-in-law for the Zhu family, in my opinion, her other ability is not inferior to giving birth to a son, that is, she can bear it!"
In the early years, the old Guogong took Zhu Qin away from Cai's hands, and wanted to raise him personally, and Cai's son separated from his son when he was most attached to his mother, and he didn't care about it; Zhu Qin took turns by his three sisters' side when he was young, and Cai's couldn't see his son all year round, and she didn't make trouble; when Zhu Qin was eleven or twelve years old, Lao Guogong was not in good health, and wanted to say goodbye to Zhu Qin earlier, Cai's didn't give advice, and when it came to the Li family, Lao Guogong and the three sisters of the Zhu family chose Ah Yue, Cai didn't object; Zhu Qin married Ah Yue at the age of fifteen, and Ah Yue quickly took charge of the family, and Cai was only in his early thirties at that time, so he lived a life of honor, and he didn't stretch out his hand to Ah Yue to ask for powerγ In her early years, Cai Shi was very aware of righteousness, did she really understand righteousness? She knew that it could not be violated, so she endured it. β
The first time she stopped being patient was when Zhu Qin and Ah Yue's peace document wrote that she had no children for three years. β
"Old Guogong, the current Mrs. Qianguo, Mrs. Qingpingbo, the deceased Zhao Guifei, and my daughter, these few, all of them are smart people, their cleverness, achieved Zhu Qin, guarded the Xuanguo Mansion, and now where are these few, the old Guogong Zhao Guifei died early, the Qianguo Duchess and Mrs. Qingping Bo are tired of family affairs, my daughter is also burdened by the Li family, and left Beijing in a hurry, these people have made wedding dresses for her, and the Xuanguo Mansion they have painstakingly managed has achieved the status of Mrs. Cai's today!"
Mrs. Li said straightforwardly, Li Fei listened quietly, and was a little more jealous of this silent Mrs. who had been honored so far.
"Your business, I know that Ah Yue and Ah He are suspicious of her, because she doesn't like your mother, she naturally has this reason to dislike or even dislike you, compared to the eldest granddaughter of the Zhu family who grew up under her knees, of course she does not lack your granddaughter. Mrs. Li shook the fan cut from the palm leaves, and said slowly: "But I think that with Cai's stoic nature, she won't do anything, she is used to hiding behind others to pick up fruits, you are the princess, she is the grandmother, you see each other in pairs, you have to respect her, for her, one more grandson-in-law who is the prince, one more layer of honor, not so unbearable, I have to put you to death and then quickly." β
In the letter, Zhu Qin did not deny that for many years, Cai's family did not like Li Yue, nor did he rarely like Li Fei's granddaughter, but Zhu Qin also defended her mother, saying that Cai's family could not do such an inhumane thing and buy murder to kill his own granddaughter.
Human nature is not human, and Mrs. Li doesn't think about Cai's humanity, but just looks at Cai's heart, which is inconsistent with Cai's decades of perseverance.
Li Fei poured a cup of tea and was about to give it to Mrs. Li, Zhao Yanheng and Dong Rang held umbrellas and came over in the rain, Zhao Yanheng's face was tense, as if others owed him 108,000 taels of silver, Dong Rang's face was not very good, as if he had swallowed a whole bitter gourd, and his face was wrinkled.
Mrs. Li saw Li Fei stand up and take the wet umbrella in Zhao Yanheng's hand, and continued to lie on the Nanmu rocking chair with her eyes closed, Zhao Yanheng was obviously not in a good mood, seeing Li Fei no longer like before, she was not as good as before, and instructed Dong Rang, Dong Rang said: "Just from the capital, I passed a letter day and night, and the letter said that the lady of the Xuanguo Mansion fell into the carriage on the way to Yanhua Temple on May 30 and died on the spot. β
Old Mrs. Li suddenly opened her eyes, Li Fei glanced at Old Mrs. Li, and then asked anxiously: "Something happened at this time, can the letter say, how did people happen?"
Dong Rang carried this letter with him, he took it out and handed it to Li Fei, Li Fei unfolded it, stood beside Mrs. Li, and read it to Mrs. Li while reading.
The letter was sent a day later, on the afternoon of May 31, and after a day and a night of investigation, a preliminary account of Cai's death was obtained.
Accidentally!
At that time, the carriage of the Zhu family went to Yanhua Temple, in a narrow area, the carriage that the Cai family was riding, the horse pulling the carriage suddenly ran forward in a frenzy, kicked and killed a guard of the Zhu family, kicked and injured a guard of the Zhu family, dragged the fallen carriage forward, and waited for the guards of the Zhu family to control the horse, Cai had already died in the car, and his head hit the wall of the car, so he was killed.
As for why the horse went crazy, it is still under investigation.
But even if the horse was uncontrolled for a while, Cai's hit the wall of the car so accurately, wasn't it injured, and he died as soon as he hit it?
After Li Fei finished reading the letter, his eyes were still dazed.
A moment ago, Mrs. Li was still saying that Cai's is a capable woman, she has endured it for decades, endured to today's status, and now Cai's spring breeze is proud, did she die in an accident?
Amusing!
Mrs. Li sat in the rocking chair and listened to the letter, and Le's in the house also came out and stood beside Mrs. Li to listen to the letter.
"This is dead?"
Lux's is also in an unbelievable tone.
Li Fei returned the letter to Dong Rang, Zhao Yanheng let out a long breath of turbidity, and said: "I should continue to investigate here, if she did it, it will be turned out if the person dies." β
It's just that people always die before he can find out the reason, this time, Zhu Qin is worried at home, and those rotten Confucians in the court will also ask all their children and grandchildren to keep filial piety for this old woman, including Li Fei. Then the marriage period between him and Li Fei was suddenly pulled to nine months later, nine months, it was for Cai's filial piety, and he was holding his breath for Li Fei when he thought about it.
Zhao Yanheng looked at Mrs. Li, Le's, and finally stopped his eyes on Li Fei's face, seeing that their faces were faint, Zhao Yanheng couldn't complain about this.
Li Fei's mood was still heavy, she sighed and said: "A few days ago, my father sent a letter, saying that the Cai family would not be the person behind the scenes, and just now my grandmother also analyzed some old things in the Xuanguo Mansion for me, saying that my matter is not like something that the Cai family did in mind." β
"Fei'er's biggest problem is her life experience, in Kunming, Cai's wife borrowed Mrs. Chen, but she has been staring at her all the time, she has been staring at her for so many years, and she chose to kill her at the most inappropriate time. Mrs. Li's voice also showed her attitude.
Li Fei's matter will not end because of Cai's accidental death, but Cai's can't open his mouth, and it is more difficult to investigate.
Mrs. Li stood up and went back to the house with the help of Le's, Li Fei looked at the Nanmu rocking chair swaying, the dark pupils made people unable to see the focus, almost distracted.
Zhao Yanheng watched Old Lady Li and Le Shi disappear into the hall, and then went over to take Li Fei's hand, with a relaxed smile on the corner of his mouth, and said, "You come with me, I have something to give you." β
Zhao Yanheng is next door to the Li family, and he still has a house, this house will always be kept, Zhao Yanheng put eight people here, these people will be responsible for protecting Mrs. Li and them in the future, and now Zhao Yanheng brought Li Fei over, it was something that was customized a few days ago, and some of them were okay.
Li Fei saw four camphor wood boxes more than a foot tall and half a foot long and wide placed in front of the case, and raised his eyebrows.
"I asked them to make a dozen, and just these four, I felt like that. Zhao Yanheng opened one of the boxes, turned back to remind Li Fei, and said with a smile: "The first time I saw it, it's quite infiltrating, don't be afraid, it's a beautiful thing......
As he spoke, Zhao Yanheng pulled out a head from the box, oh, no, it's just a hairstyle, supported by a bracket, Li Fei looked at it, it was a fallen bun, the hair was sagging, hanging on the left, there was the beauty of a rose hanging low, and the long hair behind the ears hung down, soft and elegant.
"It's still like it. I'll show you to put it on. Zhao Yanheng said very reluctantly, he emphasized that he could only use a woman's good hair to make Li Fei's bun, but the hair on this hand was not black enough, not soft enough, and after losing the nourishment of the scalp, there was still a layer of fresh luster, which could not be compared with Li Fei's original hair.
