Chapter 37: Nightfall
Lan Fusheng was stunned, his face was full of innocence: "What do you mean by this, who can I shelter? I said all this for the sake of my brother, and I kindly persuaded you not to complain about your uncle anymore!"
Zhao Mo sneered: "Since that's the case, then please don't interrupt me again." Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info once is a coincidence, how can it be a coincidence again and again? Uncle Lan really thinks I'm a three-year-old child, so I can't make a fool?!"
Lan Fusheng gritted his teeth and closed, Zhen Zhong looked puzzled: "What's the matter, what do you mean by my brother's words?" He didn't think there was anything wrong with what Lan Fusheng said just now?
Zhao Mo turned to Zhen Zhong: "Two things." The first thing is that I once asked someone to send a letter to my father's new house, saying that I had arrived in the capital, and it was Lan Xue who received the letter at that time. When she found out, she made an appointment with me to meet at Longfu Temple. At that time, she promised to tell my father about my visit to Beijing, but it seems that she did not do so. Second, she said the death of the second brother, and she also told me that the murderer was instructed by the Wang family. Because of this, his father suspected that there were still spies of the Wang family in the Liao Wang's mansion, and it was no longer safe, and he knew that Lan Xue was pregnant, so he specially brought her to the capital. Could it be that Lan Xue is not telling the truth? The death of the second brother was not caused by the Wang family? Since my father knew the truth, why didn't he do anything? I am not complaining that my father has abandoned me, nor am I fighting for some idleness. When I heard about my father's dealings with the Wang family from my grandfather, I knew what the future holds. At that time, I endured it, if it weren't for the Wang family and the Wen family, I wouldn't have fled to the capital. However, the second brother lost his life so well, how innocent is the child?!"
Zhen Zhong couldn't help but take a step back, looking a little embarrassed. He looked at Lan Fusheng, intending to change the topic slightly: "Fusheng, what the hell is going on? You see Tian'er guarding the other side of the new house, if someone outside sends a letter in and asks Miss Lan to pick it up, do you know?"
Lan Fusheng shrunk his neck and said in a low voice, "I know...... I didn't know what was going on at the time, but then I heard the news that it was my brother, and I ...... But the uncle didn't go back to the new house in those two days, and Miss Lan said that she should meet her brother first and ask him why he went to Beijing before telling the uncle, I think it makes sense, so I let her go. On the day Miss Lan went out, she left me in the house to watch the house, lest someone come to the door to look for the uncle, but no one entertained her, who knew that the new lady would come?
"Confused!" Zhen Zhong couldn't help but scold him, how can such a big thing be compared with the contradiction between Xiao Wang's family and Lan Xue's wives and concubines? Lan Fusheng has been with Zhao Shuo for a few years, and he is also old, so how can he also make a mistake of not separating priorities?
Zhen Zhong also complained a little about Lan Xue: "Miss Lan too, Fusheng has never seen her brother, so she forgot about it in a daze, she is the one who has seen her brother, why don't you tell your uncle?"
Lan Fusheng whispered: "Presumably because I don't have a chance to get along with the uncle in private?" The new lady moved into the house and watched it so strictly. In front of others, how dare Miss Lan talk to her uncle about her brother?"
That's just as well. Zhen Zhong was a little relieved, but he still felt that the people in the family were not well educated: "Who followed Miss Lan when she went out? If it's inconvenient for others, it's inconvenient for them? I didn't even say a word to my uncle!"
Lan Fusheng shut up this time.
Zhen Zhong looked at Zhao Mo, who sat there expressionlessly, as if he hadn't heard anything. Seeing his reaction like this, Zhen Zhong was also a little stunned for a while, and said in a low voice: "This matter is Miss Lan's fault, I will definitely report it to the uncle when I go back." Brother has been wronged this time, and Uncle will definitely make decisions for you. Brother, just rest assured. ”
Zhao Mo asked calmly: "Father asked you to come to see me, have you ever mentioned how to arrange my whereabouts, except to send them back to the Wen family?"
Zhen Zhong was a little hesitant: "If my brother really refuses to go back to the Wen family, my uncle may find another place to live for my brother, and it will be in the capital." Brother, bear with it for a few days, and when the uncle has a firm foothold, there is no need to look at the faces of the Wang family everywhere......"
"Father has to look at the face of the Wang family everywhere now?" Zhao Mo interrupted him, "Isn't this okay?" Father is often in front of the emperor, and he has the blue eyes of the saint, but he is so afraid of the Wang family, looking at the eyes of the saint, I don't know what the sacred heart is?"
Zhen Zhong didn't dare to answer, glanced at Lan Fusheng, and said a little embarrassed: "Brother, how the uncle behaves is not something that the little ones can ask." It's just that it's really not easy. He worked so hard, isn't it for his brother's future future?"
Zhao Mo smiled faintly: "I'm afraid that my father's hard work will give me a future before I have time to enjoy it." ”
Zhen Zhong and Lan Fusheng didn't dare to speak.
Zhao Mo suddenly felt a little bored, turned around and sat down at the desk: "You guys go." If my father doesn't even have the ability to let me live in the capital openly, how can I say that he has now attained the blue eyes of the saint and is expected to fulfill his wish? At least in the Liao Wangfu, he can still say loudly to everyone, I am his son. When the princess wanted to embarrass him, he also had the courage to refute a few words. Even after being reprimanded by the prince for this, he never flinched. Today's father has great ambitions, but no courage. ”
Zhen Zhong and Lan Fusheng's faces changed slightly, and they stood there in silence for a long time, knowing that they couldn't persuade Zhao Mo anymore, so they had to retire with an uncomfortable face, and then returned in vain.
There was still a carriage parked outside the west corner gate of the Chengenhou Mansion, and they came over today, originally planning to leave with Zhao Mo. Since the goal was not achieved, they could only go back to Zhao Shuo to report their lives.
After listening to the report of the two, Zhao Shuo was in a very complicated mood, his heart was sour, astringent, annoyed and aggrieved. The sourness is because he thinks of the difficulties and dangers he has experienced along the way, the anger is because his son has exposed his face and pierced his inner timidity, and the grievance is because he has been blamed by his son, which makes him feel the pain of not being understood by his relatives. He has been working so hard, giving up so many things for the sake of the goal, and no matter how sad and sad he is, he will persevere, why should his son say this about him? Why should he deny his efforts?!
Zhao Shuo was excited for a moment, and swept the things on the bookcase to the ground with his cross arm, but the sound of the porcelain falling to the ground and breaking into pieces made him calm down quickly. Now is not the time to lose your temper at will, the study is too close to the main courtyard, if Xiao Wang hears it, she will definitely come to ask, how to explain it then?
Zhao Shuo took a deep breath, waved his hand, and motioned for Zhen Zhong and Lan Fusheng to step back. When the two of them retreated to the door according to the order, they were called back by him again: "Fusheng, Lan Xue did meet Mo'er? She went to Longfu Temple not to offer incense to Mo'er's mother to pray for blessings, but to see Mo'er?
Lan Fusheng hurriedly said: "I don't know the little one, but Miss Lan should have met her brother." She didn't mention it, probably because she was afraid that her wife would know, right? Since she had seen her brother, she must have known what happened to her brother in Datong......
Zhao Shuo sighed and waved his hand to signal the two of them to step back.
When he got out of the study, Zhen Zhong grabbed Lan Fusheng, came to a no-man's corner, and asked: "You have said good things for Miss Lan three or four times, what are you talking about? Uncle has something to ask you, you just answer, what are you doing so much?!"
Lan Fusheng broke away from his hand and said aggrievedly, "Where did I say good things for Miss Lan? I just told my uncle what I knew." It was indeed my fault that I forgot to tell my uncle about the matter, but I didn't know where my brother lived at that time, so what was the use of telling my uncle that he had come to the capital besides making him anxious? Why do I have to wait until I find out my brother's whereabouts before I can speak?"
Zhen Zhong sneered: "You can tell a reason for everything." This time, I'll only warn you of one thing: you and I are both uncle's people, and we only recognize the uncle as a master. No matter who he is, no one else can go past the uncle. You remember it clearly for me, no matter who told you anything, who gave you benefits, you can't forget your duty!"
Lan Fusheng's eyes flashed: "Of course. In terms of loyalty, I am no less than you, you rely on the old and sell the old to me!"
Zhen Zhong stared at his back coldly, and always felt that something was wrong in his heart. However, the most important thing at the moment is to solve Zhao Mo's affairs, and he has no intention of taking care of other things. As long as Lan Fusheng wouldn't spoil Zhao Shuo's business, a little selfishness would go with him. Zhen Zhong only recognized Zhao Shuo as a master in his heart, even if Zhao Mo was Zhao Shuo's eldest son, it was not as important as Zhao Shuo himself. Since Zhao Shuo is determined to be a master, then he Zhen Zhong can't let anyone stand in front of Zhao Shuo. Sons can be reborn, but there is only one throne!
Zhen Zhong went to help his master worry about Zhao Mo's affairs, but he didn't know that after Lan Fusheng left him, he did not return directly to the residence of his entourage, but walked to another secluded corner, looked left and right and looked back and forth twice, and made sure that no one passed nearby at night, so he jumped lightly, turned over the wall, and then silently crossed several courtyards, and gently fell into a secluded courtyard. He quickly hid behind the bushes in the corner of the courtyard, looked at the houses in front of him for a few moments, and then let out a few cat meows, and then lay still in the bushes, waiting for the opportunity.
After a while, the lights in the house went out, and two girls walked out of the door, one closed the door with his backhand, and the other took the lantern and left under the porch.
After a few more moments, a window on the west side of the room opened, and a candle behind it was quickly lit and extinguished.
Lan Fusheng sneaked over quietly and turned over into the window: "Little sister, it's not good! Brother Mo sued you, and now the uncle already knows that you have seen your brother, and he will ask you carefully!"
Lan Xue appeared in front of the window wearing thin clothes, frowned slightly when she heard the words, and then smiled faintly: "It's okay, I already expected that there might be such a day, and I have already thought about how to prevaricate." (To be continued.) )
