302 Secrets
Yan Qi was also stunned when she heard this, but she didn't expect that this kid had never given up investigating this matter, and he had also found this place with great powers.
Who does this thing look like?
An image gradually became clear in Yan Qi's mind......
…… Ah, Conan.
……
"There are several mothers-in-law surnamed Li and Li in the family, I don't know which one the Ninth Young Master is asking?" Zhang Fuxiang, the head of the village, smiled cautiously while letting the little master into the village.
"The one sent from Beijing more than ten years ago, surnamed Li, Mingxiu. Young Master Yan Jiu spoke slowly, but every word was spit out, with the momentum of a long drive.
"More than ten years ago......" Zhang Fuxiang quickly searched for the record in his mind, and patted his leg for a while, "There is such a one! Everyone in the village called her Aunt Li, who was sent from Beijing more than ten years ago, saying that she was raised by the old man, and settled in the village, and later married a widower, that is, Li Youhe, the account room on the Zhuangzi, and the two of them did not have any children, and they were silent in the Zhuangzi every day - the ninth young master and the first to rest in the interior, and the little one made people call Aunt Li here!"
Xiaolu everyone was welcomed into the upper room of the main courtyard, although this Zhuangzi Tiangao Emperor is far away, and the heads of the Yan family have not been able to manage it for many years, but a group of people in the village still dare not make a time, like the upper room of the main courtyard is locked every day, no one dares to enter it easily, and the door is opened and cleaned every three or five times, and the chair will be changed often on the mattress or something.
Zhang Fuxiang had already taken the clean mattresses from the women in the village to replace the original ones in the upper room, the tables and chairs were wiped clean, and the tea set was also the best thing in the warehouse.
After taking two sips of tea, Aunt Li-Mama Li had already been called, stepped into the upper door, and looked at everyone with a pale face and trembling lips, but in a moment, she immediately found the main master, and her eyes immediately fell on the faces of the two similar-looking young men sitting in the middle.
Yan Qi was still dressed in men's clothes, quietly looking at this much older Mama Li.
The jet-black hair has now added a lot of silver threads, neatly tied into a bun at the back of the head, and the body is a thick satin navy blue shirt, which shows that the life of Zhuang Shang is quite good, but the crow's feet at the corners of the eyes can't be covered with fat powder, and they are more and more finely and densely revealed under the pull of the slightly frowning eyebrows.
"Is it her?" Young Master Yan Jiu asked Yan Qi with a biased face, he was still very young when Mama Li left the village, of course he would not have any impression.
"It's her. Yan Qi nodded, although the physical body was only more than three years old at that time, the soul inside was an adult, and even after ten years, he still remembered the general outline of his facial features.
Mama Li's footsteps trembled slightly, and she knelt down on her knees: "Slave maid...... Kowtow to the Ninth Young Master ......"
I didn't recognize Yan Qi for a while, not to mention that Yan Qi was still men's clothing.
"I have something to ask you, and I will answer it truthfully. Young Master Yan Jiu still went straight into the knife alone, but the slow speed of his speech seemed to be slowly handing the knife into Mama Li's chest, which made her tremble all over.
"I went to rest, and I was a little tired. Cui Xi stood up with a smile and turned his head to the second room next to him.
Xiao Chen glanced at Yan Qi, and also got up and walked out: "I'll go to practice archery." ”
I can't find excuses, where is there anyone who goes to practice archery as soon as he comes to a strange village. Wuzhi silently complained.
"Let's go arrange lunch. As a result, Xiao Jiuye sent him out of the door with a word.
I really want to eavesdrop! Wuzhi looked at the open upper door, and cried to discuss lunch with Zhang Zhuangtou, this little ninth master is really too cunning! When the door is open, who can listen to the corner outside! I have never seen such a private affair done like this!
"Looks like you already know what I'm looking for you. "Young Master Yan Jiu has incarnated as Brother Sharp since he chose the path to the north, and every instruction and every question is so direct and sharp, he doesn't intend to give people any buffer.
Without this buffer, Mama Li was so shocked that she knelt on the ground and staggered, Young Master Yan Jiu didn't let her get up, this is a kind of psychological pressure, just to let her know that Mama Nan's affection is nothing to him, he will never care about her for half a point, and if he doesn't answer honestly, there will only be a dead end.
"Slave...... The slave maid ......" Mama Li was so trembling that she couldn't say a word.
"Where did that heavenly stone come from?" Young Master Yan Jiu's question was like a sharp sword, piercing Mama Li's eyebrows at once, Mama Li only felt that her brain was dizzy, too fast, this impact came too fast, she thought that she was called to at least have a chance to have a chance to get in touch with these two former little masters, or was kind and kind to persuade her to give her the answer, and she could also take the opportunity to think of bluffing the past, but no, nothing, just like this, a sword hit her nerves, so that she could not hide, and blood spattered on the spot.
Yan Qi turned her head to look at her younger brother, she thought that the question he wanted to ask most was about her life experience, but she didn't expect it to be the Heavenly Stone.
Why?
Young Master Yan Jiu's dark eyes stared faintly at the old woman kneeling in front of him. Why do you have to ask the first question of the Heavenly Stone? Because it was that Heavenly Stone that made his sister endure the ridicule for nearly ten years! It made her fat and made her overeat, and she was already a person with enough self-control, even if she did, she could not resist the poison of that Heavenly Stone, what if she had been replaced by someone else? I am afraid that she would have died prematurely due to the disease caused by overeating!
How could he forgive!
The question of his background didn't matter at all in front of this matter! He just wanted to know—who was, who was going to kill his sister!
"Slave...... Slaves...... The slave didn't know what the heavenly stone ...... "Mama Li sweated like rain, fell on the ground and said that she didn't dare to raise her head."
Young Master Yan Jiu suddenly took out a folded piece of paper from his arms, unfolded it and threw it down, and it was fluttering and falling not far in front of Mama Li, Mama Li hung her head, but her eyelids trembled and lifted, and the thing on the paper suddenly tore through her retina and pierced it directly into her brain - what was painted on it was a strange beast ornament!
Ornaments...... Ornaments...... Mama Li is old, many things have been forgotten by her intentionally or unintentionally, but the painting on this paper seems to have a demonic power to instantly refresh her memory, a scene many years ago twisted and rolled from far and near from blurred to clear gradually revealed in the mind, the face in the picture smiled softly at her, and then handed the heavy ornament into her hands, "This is an evil beast, put it on the table in the room for Miss Seven, Miss Seven is still young, and she just fell into the water before, I am afraid that I will get something unclean...... The face said this, full of concern and pity.
Say. Young Master Yan Jiu's slow and cold voice fell, dispelling Mama Li's memories, "Say it or die." ”
Is Mama Li afraid of death?
Fear. Young Master Yan Jiu knew very well that she was afraid, otherwise she would not have to marry someone after being sent to Zhuangzi so far away, a person who did not have the courage to spend the rest of his life alone was of course afraid of death, and a person who still had hope for the second half of his life was of course unwilling to give his life easily. Those who can keep secrets are not afraid of death, and those who are afraid of death are naturally not likely to be able to keep secrets.
Mama Li was very scared, the Ninth Young Master in front of her was only a little old when she left Yan Mansion, and she had grown so tall in a blink of an eye, but her childish face had an adult-like momentum, which made her have no doubt that he really dared to kill her with a word, she was so afraid that the whole person was paralyzed, she wanted to explain, she wanted to cry out, she wanted him to know, she was afraid of more than him......
There are too many unimaginably terrible people and things in this world, but it's a pity that he can't recognize this young master who is not deeply involved in the world.
What the Tianshi is, Mama Li doesn't know, but she knows the ornament.
Why did she question the ornament, Mama Li still didn't know, but she knew the origin of the ornament.
I'm so scared...... What should I do, how should I save this life? If I don't answer, I will die, and if I answer, I may also die.
"I have limited patience. Young Master Yan Jiu's voice once again tore Mama Li's nerves, she didn't have time to hesitate and struggle anymore, she had to choose a way to die, whether to die immediately, or wait until she was discovered that she had leaked the Heavenly Machine?
"That ornament ......," Mama Li said in a trembling voice, "Yes...... It's Yang ...... Aunt Yang...... ...... to the slave and maid"
- Aunt Yang?!
Not only Young Master Yan Jiu, but even Yan Qi was so surprised that he didn't know where to start.
Aunt Yang, the biological mother of Yan San Young Master and Yan Sixth Girl, Yan Zike's only concubine.
Yan Qi and Young Master Yan Jiu froze motionlessly on the spot, and it took a long time to digest this answer.
Aunt Yang, good looks, gentle temperament, usually live in the house in a simple place, except for the New Year's holidays and occasions that must be requested, basically stay at home, and stay in her yard as a duty, and even Yan Wu Girl has privately said that Yan Zike has never stayed in Aunt Yang's yard since she can remember, which is basically equivalent to falling out of favor, and her sense of existence in Yan Mansion is even lower than that of Yan Qi and her brothers.
Yan Qi's sisters and brothers rarely intersect with her, and there is no conflict of interest between them - why would such a person harm Yan Qi?
Young Master Yan Jiu remembered Yan Zike's attitude when he solved the Tianshi incident, and he said that the person who gave Mama Li Tianshi didn't know that this thing would cause people to gain weight, which was really an unintentional mistake—how did he find out that Tianshi was given by Aunt Yang? Even if Aunt Yang was really unintentional, how could she have Tianshi in her hand? The heavenly stone ornament is clearly a part of the jade seal, and the jade seal was ironclad evidence of King Shou's guilt, Aunt Yang is just a concubine of the Yan Mansion, how could such an ominous thing that caused the change of the throne and even countless people died in the turmoil of seizing the heir, how could it be in her hands? !
It is impossible for Yan Zike not to know the origin of the Heavenly Stone, so has he continued to investigate the reason why Aunt Yang owns the Heavenly Stone? Aunt Yang is still living in the Yan Mansion and has not seen Yan Zike take any measures against her, is it really as he said, Aunt Yang really knows nothing about the effectiveness of the Heavenly Stone? But the origin of the Heavenly Stone always has to be investigated! Did he follow the vine to find out?—— He will definitely investigate, and if the matter is not expected and grasped by him, he will definitely investigate, and with such a temperament, he must know the truth in everything, how could he let go of such a big matter! Therefore, he is either conducting a secret investigation, or he already knows the truth.
If the truth is already known, and Aunt Yang is still living as usual intact, does that really prove that Aunt Yang is indeed an outsider?
"What is the relationship between you and Aunt Yang?" Young Master Yan Jiu keenly found the key point of the problem after a long period of deep thought.
Mama Li was afraid of this question, and replied to him tremblingly: "Slave maid...... When the slave maid was in the house, she occasionally talked to Aunt Yang...... That day...... "On that day, Miss Seven fell into the water and almost died, and all the masters in the house went to visit the second room, and the aunts in the long room and the third room naturally had to go through the motions, and even if they were to visit the sick, they naturally couldn't go empty-handed, some carried tonics, and some subsidized silver taels, after Aunt Yang saw Miss Seven, in addition to sending a few hand-copied copies of the disaster reduction and karma scriptures, she also gave her the ornaments.
This remark made Young Master Yan Jiu suddenly laugh, but it made Mama Li almost fall to the ground with a thrill, and subconsciously raised her eyes to look at this little master, but saw that there was no smile on his white jade-like face, and the black and white pupils were like a thousand years. The little young master slowly spat out such a sentence.
Mama Li really softened on the ground this time, prostrate, trembling, sobbing, never thought that this child would be so difficult, she was about to collapse, she wanted to tell him hysterically - she was not afraid of him, she was afraid of the truth that had been buried for more than ten years! She couldn't help it, and he couldn't help it!
"Let's say," the young man who had been silent next to the Ninth Young Master suddenly spoke, Mama Li didn't know who "he" was, she just felt that she looked like the Ninth Young Master, Xu was the other young master of the Yan family, she didn't dare to look at it more, this time she heard "him" speak, and his voice was clear and a little gloomy, "A person who hides too heavy secrets in his heart, how can he live well in this life?"
Mama Li's body and mind shook slightly, and she suddenly wanted to cry **-who said it wasn't, this secret--this secret was too heavy and too heavy!
She really didn't want to be so heavy anymore, she still wanted to live, she still wanted to live the rest of her life well, how much she wished that the person who was entrusted with this secret back then was not herself but someone else!
“…… Poplar...... Aunt Yang ......" Mama Li sobbed and said, "Zeng ...... She was a slave and a maidservant...... A ...... of the old owner's house Young grandma. ”
……
It's not so much that Young Master Yan Jiu scared Mama Li again and again, but that Mama Li shocked Young Master Yan Jiu and Yan Qi again and again, a young grandmother of the old master's family?!
How could someone else's young grandmother become Yan Zike's concubine?! "Old Master"?! Mama Li is not the original servant of the Yan family, which is nothing, but why did she pack up with Aunt Yang and go to Yan Mansion?!
"Who is your old master? How did Aunt Yang become my uncle's concubine? How did you become my sister's upbringing again? Who brought you and Aunt Yang into the Yan Mansion? Why were you sent out of the Yan Mansion? Are my third brother and sixth sister my uncle's flesh and blood? My sister and I—are we the Yan family?" Young Master Yan Jiu bit more and more words and stabbed a series of questions into Mama Li's head, Mama Li was dizzy, she thought that the unspeakable secrets of the past would eventually grow old and die with those people back then. Dusty, but I didn't expect someone to find out in front of me so soon, could it be that someone in the dark is guiding, so that the cruel past can be reproduced, and the destined person will make a satisfactory ending? 166 Reading Network
