Chapter 77: Come So It Comes
Chapter Seventy-Seven: I see
Cheng Houchun felt that the blood in his body was flowing backwards. For a while, I felt that I was thinking too much, and for a while, I felt that this world was really absurd. The two of them were still daunted last night, but now they have already calculated to take their lives. He couldn't believe it, and he couldn't believe it. But I have to believe it.
His hand clenched tightly and let go as if nothing had happened. Nodding slowly, he looked at Jiang and said, "Why did you think of eating seafood today." β
Jiang didn't dare to look him in the eyes, but smiled: "I suddenly want to eat." Why, don't you appreciate your face? β
Cheng Houchun's heart shrank suddenly, and her eyes kept avoiding him, which had never happened before. I can't help but feel a mess.
The food on the table exuded an enticing aroma, and Cheng Houchun walked over and sat down at the table. He wanted to overturn the table immediately, and immediately grabbed the woman and questioned her. But his intellect prevailed over his anger, his sorrow, his sorrow.
When a person does things, he always has a purpose. And if you want your own life, what good can you do with the Jiang family.
Could it be that the Jiang family was also being used by others, and she didn't know about it in advance?
Cheng Houchun shook his head again, this possibility is very small.
A woman will not be so dignified as she suddenly wants to murder her husband. There must be something he didn't know, there must be someone behind this who is directing the Jiang family.
Thinking of the words he heard today, he was even more sure of his guess. The person behind this must not have known that his purpose was known by others, and this person also gave himself a warning in disguise. But it also shows that the purpose of this mastermind who killed the Jiang family was not a personal vendetta, but to deal with the Cheng family.
After all, his father is old, and his two sons have not yet grown up. If you don't have yourself, you won't have someone to support the portal.
Cheng Houchun thought about it a lot, but it was just something that was done in a thought. With a faint smile on his face, he sat sideways at the table, as if he was waiting for the Jiang family to dine together. Waiting for Jiang to sit down, Cheng Houchun said: "I haven't seen the two children for some days, so let's call them over and have dinner together." These two boys are hiding from me when they see me now. β
Jiang paused slightly: "Ye is really, knowing that the child is hiding from you, you still call the child over." Eat and don't make them uncomfortable. β
Cheng Houchun's heart sank little by little. He nodded and smiled, "It's my fault." Sit down and use it with me. As he spoke, he moved his chopsticks, put a chopstick dish in the bowl opposite, and said with a smile: "It was really hard for Mrs. to serve her husband last night, so it's better for me to serve Mrs. now." β
Jiang raised his head and glanced at his husband, it didn't look like he had found something. And Kung Fu*. Her face flushed slightly, and she also took the vegetables over, and said, "Master, just eat." Don't worry about the concubine, aren't you hungry?"
As she spoke, she picked the side dish from the bowl and chewed it slowly in her mouth.
Cheng Houchun can basically conclude in his heart that there is indeed something wrong with this dish. He wanted to get up immediately, but he felt that leaving so suddenly would make the Jiang clan alert. I was thinking about what excuse to make in order to leave quietly. I heard hurried footsteps in the courtyard, and then there was a voice from Bai Lang outside the door: "Lord Shizi, there is an accident in the barracks." β
I just came back from the barracks today, what's the matter? All of them are calm. Cheng Houchun knew that Bai Lang was here to relieve himself. He put down his chopsticks, stood up a little annoyed, and said, "It seems that I can't eat today." You let Pu'er and Wei'er accompany you. I had to go to the barracks once, for as little as three to five days, as long as half a month. You don't need to worry. β
Jiang didn't know what mood he was feeling now, annoyed, frustrated or happy. She opened her mouth, but she couldn't say the words she retained, so she only said, "Then sir, be careful." β
Cheng Houchun smiled when he saw the Jiang family, and said comfortingly: "When I'm done, I'll come back to accompany you." As he spoke, he gently hugged Jiang and turned to leave.
Jiang Shi was sure that Cheng Houchun had left, so he turned around and entered the inner room, and as soon as he closed the door, he felt that all the strength in his body had been drained, and he immediately collapsed on the ground, panting heavily. Almost, just a little, he almost killed his husband, the father of the child.
As soon as Cheng Houchun went out, he saw Bai Lang's worried eyes. He shook his head slightly, and Bai Lang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Nephew, let's go quickly." "Until we figure it out, we can't go back to this home.
The two of them left the house and rode out of the city all the way, and then slowly reduced their speed.
"How did you find out. Cheng Houchun asked.
"On my way back to the courtyard, I heard the voices of two girls from a distance, one of whom said that the lady had specially found seafood and cooked it herself. One said...... Say ......" Bai Lang stopped talking, not knowing what to say.
"Say what. He said that you should be careful when eating seafood, otherwise you will die. Cheng Houchun said in a low voice.
Bai Lang nodded and said, "I've heard this for the third time today. It is said that one cannot be the other, but today, it can be said that I heard the same sentence one after another. This is definitely not a simple coincidence. β
Cheng Houchun said 'um', and then heard Bai Lang continue: "I have already instructed the people below, and I will ask them to find a way to get some of the dinner today." Let's see if there's really a problem, and don't be wronged......"
Bai Lang glanced at his master and didn't continue. This is really a bit unbelievable, and people can't believe it.
Cheng Houchun didn't answer, just rode on horseback and looked at the dark field in the distance. After a long time, he said: "Go to Beizhuang, don't alarm others." "He needs to calm down now and take a good look at what happened today.
There are some trustworthy old servants who take care of it here, and if they can't be reassuring here, then there really is no place to reassure.
After Cheng Houchun settled in another village, he simply ate. The heart stabilized little by little. Be able to think more rationally about this.
Did the people behind this want to deal with the Cheng family directly, or because the Cheng family was the backing of the prince, they took action against the Cheng family. He wasn't sure.
But there is one thing that must be clarified. That's why the Jiang clan would listen to this man's command.
After the Jiang family got married, he knew that this was not his original fiancΓ©e, Miss Yan of the Jiang family. On the third day after their wedding, the young lady was buried as a concubine. But at that time, the Jiang family had already entered the door, and people were also born coquettish, and the two were newly married, such a wife, how could he give it up lightly. Moreover, starting a family can't afford to lose this face. So I acquiesced in this matter. It's just that over the years, there hasn't been a lot of movement with the Jiang family.
For more than ten years, the two cannot be said to be a loving couple, but they have never blushed. The Jiang family has always taken care of things at home, and they are all virtuous people praised by others. In addition, the two gave birth to two more sons. Now, the eldest sons are old enough to marry wives. It can be said that in less than two years, they are all going to be grandfathers and grandmothers, and suddenly, their wives, who have been with them for many years, want to kill their own lives. Is there anything more absurd in this world?
He remembered what the group of idlers had said outside the teahouse.
ββ¦β¦ ate seafood to death, and the delicate little lady went to her mother's sister and finally followed her brother-in-law...... The little lady is someone else's......"
These words, when I think about it now, have a great meaning. He raised his voice and called Bai Lang outside to come in, and asked, "Do you remember when you were asked to investigate the matter of your wife, what did you find......?"
Bai Lang was a little stunned, when did he call himself Mrs. Cha. After thinking about it for a long time, I suddenly remembered that it was when the master first got married. It was only later that the master said that since the raw rice had been cooked into cooked rice, what could be done if he knew it, and the matter stopped. However, when he asked about the original matter, he also thought about it, so he said: "Madame's biological mother, Xiao Gu, did marry someone before. Her first husband is said to have died violently. I heard in a trance that it was ...... I ate seafood for dinner, and I ...... in the middle of the night It was a joke at the time, so I still remember it. Bai Lang felt that he couldn't go on. Today's events are like a replica of what happened decades ago.
And that Xiao Gu should have had an affair with her brother-in-law for a long time, so she murdered her husband. It's just how many years have passed. Even Xiao Gu's died of illness not long after the Jiang family's young lady was buried. These past events can only be speculation now.
But if it's really the same as what happened back then, wouldn't it mean that Mrs. also stole people.
Bai Lang caught a glimpse of his master's dark face. Silently retreated.
Cheng Houchun closed his eyes, thinking about the matter of Xiao Gu's family, thinking about the hints in those idle words, Bai Lang could guess, how could he not guess.
What a humiliation for a man. His fists clenched, suppressing his furious heart. With his status, there are really only a handful of people who can give him a green hat. Moreover, the Jiang family has almost no opportunity to contact foreign men. The person who has a family is not blind, if she really dares to make any trouble at home, it is absolutely impossible for her not to know. No matter how you think about it, you can't do it.
Over the years, the Jiang family has been decent, and there is nothing out of the ordinary. The only outrageous thing is to recognize an inexplicable righteous daughter named Zhou Meier.
This girl is really not likable. Jiang may not really like her. But why do you have to think of it as a righteous woman? Unless you have to, unless you have a handle.
He remembered what Zhou Meier shouted in the palace.
ββ¦β¦ I know a secret, a secret that can cause chaos in the world......"
ββ¦β¦ Why do you want to be so kind to me, it's because I know this secret......"
ββ¦β¦ Why should I keep my mouth shut, you ......"
Zhou Mei'er didn't finish what she said to the Jiang family, and it came to an abrupt end.
Cheng Houchun woke up from his memories, opened his eyes suddenly, and stood up suddenly.
The arrow that the emperor shot at Zhou Meier that day was extremely strange. Now it seems that it is to stop what Zhou Meier wants to say.
Cheng Houchun sneered, his eyes instantly red, "I see!"
