Chapter 425: Clues
Bai Chenghuan's nose was surrounded by the fragrant fragrance of osmanthus flowers, and he looked out of the open window, only to see the osmanthus flowers hanging from the tree like a galaxy, which was extremely prosperous. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Under the osmanthus tree, there was a suppressed quarrel, Bai Chenghuan poked his head out, and just saw Aunt Zhu who was squatting on the ground and digging non-stop, and his brother Xu Chengle who was blocking on the side.
“…… Auntie, don't dig anymore, if you dig up these trees, Madame will definitely not spare you!"
It was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the academy was also on holiday, Xu Chengle had just returned to the house, and he heard about Aunt Zhu's absurd things these days, so he hurriedly went to ask his father and grandmother to say goodbye, and ran to Aunt Zhu.
Aunt Zhu has been digging for so many days, and she has tossed herself from a coquettish concubine to a woman who is as rough as the housekeeper's daughter-in-law, and she doesn't even care about the appearance she cared about the most in the past, how could she give up because of a few words of persuasion from her son.
"You don't care about me, I must dig that thing out and kill the slut surnamed Lin!"
"Auntie, what do you want to dig, tell your father and mother that it's better for them to find someone to dig than you dig yourself?"
"I can't tell anyone, no one can be trusted, I must dig it out, I'll do it myself! When I dig it out, I'll take revenge!"
Aunt Zhu refused to tell Wei Beihou what she was digging, and her personal maid couldn't say why, but she confided in her son.
Bai Chenghuan, who was standing by the window on the second floor, was also confused when he heard it, but he still grasped a few key points - Aunt Zhu was digging something that could kill people, and she wanted to take revenge, revenge on a person surnamed Lin, but who was Aunt Zhu's enemy?
In Bai Chenghuan's impression, Aunt Zhu's biggest enemies are only her mother and eldest brother, as well as her.
The quarrel downstairs also continued, and Xu Chengle was really angry:
"Auntie, are you sober and sober? What is it that can be more important than your sister's life? Do you know how many people have died in the palace, and what happened to your sister in the palace, you don't care at all?"
"Your sister ......" Aunt Zhu stopped when she heard her son mention her daughter, and then lowered her head again:
"Your sister is protected by your aunt, and she will be fine...... If it weren't for that slut who coaxed me, you wouldn't have been born inferior, and you wouldn't even be qualified to inherit the title!"
The hatred in his voice could even be heard clearly by Bai Chenghuan, who was standing on a high place.
This is very clear, no matter what becomes of Aunt Concubine Shu, it is impossible for her to let Xu Chengyi have an accident on her territory.
She is such a proud person, even if Xu Chengyi does not please her, nothing will happen, and Xu Chengyi entered the palace as she wished.
Xu Chengle knelt beside Aunt Zhu dejectedly: "Auntie, what revenge do you want, tell me, I'll take revenge on you, don't you toss so much anymore?"
Aunt Zhu raised her head suddenly, and said angrily at Xu Chengle: "You go away! No one can avenge me, only Mrs. can avenge me for this, I must find that thing and bring it to Mrs."
"But if you annoy Madame first, Madame won't see you!"
"No, yes, definitely, as long as I can find it, Madame will definitely see me!"
Bai Chenghuan silently listened to Xu Chengle and Aunt Zhu's quarrel, and gradually figured out this matter in his heart, Aunt Zhu wanted to use her mother to help her take revenge and kill a person surnamed Lin.
What is it that can make Aunt Zhu have so much confidence and feel that her mother will definitely avenge her? Just by virtue of her vow to stand with her mother for so many years, and provoke and embarrass her everywhere, where did she come from?
Bai Chenghuan felt that he still had to ask his mother about this matter, maybe his mother didn't necessarily know anything.
"Go, tell Aunt Zhu that these laurel trees have to be dug up, and they will have to wait until after the Mid-Autumn Festival, if she insists on not listening, she will tell her that the Hou Ye has spoken, if she doesn't listen, she will be sent to the family temple immediately, and she will not even have the opportunity to dig again." ”
If there is anyone in this mansion who can make Aunt Zhu sober-minded, it is probably only her father.
The mother-in-law who came with her immediately went to pass the word, only to see Aunt Zhu stunned for a moment, seemed to be a little hesitant, and finally left under the half-drag of Xu Chengle and the mother-in-law.
The surroundings were completely quiet, Bai Chenghuan closed his eyes, and seemed to be able to hear the sound of osmanthus falling, and when he opened his eyes, he could see the verdant of Weibei Houfu.
Weibei Houfu has been inherited for a hundred years, there are many towering trees, looking around, luxuriant, although it is autumn, it is still full of green.
This is rare in the capital where there has been no rain for more than two months. However, this time, the trees that were dug up and dried up were ......
Bai Chenghuan picked up the list again, looked at it, pointed to one place and asked, "When were these trees planted?"
"Back to the fourth miss, these trees on the list are all big trees that have accumulated years, most of them were planted when the old marquis and the old lady were there, and some of them were planted by the marquis and his wife, all of which have been around for nearly 20 years. The other mother-in-law who came with her explained diligently.
Bai Chenghuan frowned: "There are no trees with shorter years?"
"No, the youngest tree has been planted for 16 years. If the trees planted later are okay, mainly because of the years, this rare tree species, and the height and shortness, it is not easy to find a suitable one and then make up for it. ”
That mother-in-law is also the person who Mrs. Wei Beihou has to use, and since she has submitted the list, she has naturally calculated it clearly.
Sixteen years...... It was the year she was born that the incident seemed to be revealed.
In other words, Aunt Zhu only picked the trees that were planted sixteen years ago, and what she was looking for was also buried before that.
No wonder those phoenix trees by the lake are still fine, she thought it was because they were royal trees, and Aunt Zhu didn't have the courage to dig them.
Bai Chenghuan decided to talk to his mother about this matter, so that his mother had a number in her heart, as for whether to use Aunt Zhu as a knife man, it depends on what her mother thinks.
After she told Mrs. Wei Beihou, Mrs. Wei Bei Hou didn't say anything more, only said that she knew it in her heart, and Bai Chenghuan didn't think much about it. She knows her mother's means, and there is nothing to worry about.
It's just that later, every time Bai Chenghuan thinks of her decision at this moment, she hates her self-made cleverness very much.
It's a pity that time won't go back, and no one can change her thoughts at this moment.
The laurel trees in Wenyuelou were saved, but during the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, Wei Beihou and Mrs. Wei Beihou were not in a good mood.
Bai Chenghuan naturally knew why.
The eldest brother Xu Chenglin is far away in the southeast, and the eldest sister Xu Chengru is too shallow because she is pregnant, and at this time, she can only be reunited at her husband's house, and there is absolutely no reason to go back to her parents' house.
said that it was a reunion, but in the end it was still incomplete, only Wei Beihou and Mrs. Wei Beihou, plus her and Xu Chengle, there was no longer the laughter and laughter of the past.
