Chapter 15: Speculation

When Zhou Yanan went back, Sister Yan was already asleep. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info she slept dishonestly, exposing most of her snow-white arms, a picture of apricot red silk quilt to her chest, and a sweet smile on her face, as if there was something in her dream that made her happy.

Zhou Yanan felt that if he dreamed of eating the soufflé that Lou Wangshu said last time, he might also show such a smirk. It is said to be the gentlest dessert in the world, light, dreamy, like the flow of life, softer than chiffon cake, more delicate than cotton cake.

Zhou Yanan had obviously never eaten cotton cake or chiffon cake, but that didn't prevent her from imagining what soufflé tasted like. If you bite into it, I'm afraid your tongue will melt.

She was lying on the bed thinking about her thoughts, and the jade watermelon pillow under her head was slightly cold. The small pastel lamp on the table was painted with a beautiful woman playing the flute, and Zhou Yanan remembered that she often stared at the beauty's face when she was a child, and she felt that it was the story of Diao Chan.

Who killed my father?

Zhou Ren insisted that the Empress Dowager Zhou Hui killed Zhou Yanan's sister and mother, and now, Zhou Ren is also dead, and it seems that he is killing people. Then, the murderer is either Zhou Hui, Zhou Hui's enemy, or even the common enemy of Zhou Hui and Zhou Yanan.

Zhou Yanan believes that it is impossible for Zhou Hui to commit the act of cutting off her siblings. Zhou Hui's Zhou family and Zhou Yanan's branch have not yet come out of the five suits, and Zhou Hui's Zhou family, because the descendants are not successful, decayed very quickly. Therefore, Zhou Hui sometimes faintly relies on Zhou Ren.

If Zhou Hui wanted to kill Zhou Yanan's mother and sister, the reason was too far-fetched. No matter how dissatisfied Zhou Yin is strong, the Queen Mother will not kill her like this.

Then, it's just her. Ling Yu, the eldest princess of the first emperor.

They not only tried to separate the relationship between the Queen Mother and Zhou Yanan, but also poured dirty water on the Queen Mother.

Although Zhou Ren's character is not good, and he is also extremely stupid, he should still have some talents, otherwise he would not be able to explore Hualang, and he would not be a close minister of the emperor.

The Queen Mother would not kill her son's cronies for the sake of being unhappy at all. She was able to catch up from behind, brush off some of the first emperor's adult sons, and let the first emperor set up Ling Heng, a child in Huangkou, as the crown prince, relying on impartiality in the face of major rights and wrongs.

At that time, Uncle Zhoucang transported military rations, but it was delayed for one day due to continuous rain, and he should be cut according to the law. Even the first emperor felt that the punishment was too severe, but Zhou Hui felt that there was no need to bend the law for personal gain. Since then, the first emperor has looked at Zhou Hui differently, and soon named Ling Heng the crown prince.

Apart from Ling Yu, who else has the courage to kill Ling Heng's father-in-law and confidant? Who has the ability to do this?

Zhou Yanan felt that the people in the princess's mansion were really arrogant. 's father had an accident on the evening of the day when the county lord of Dongtian humiliated Sister Last, but was humiliated by Zhou Yanan.

That day, the county lord of Dongtian returned to Dongfu with a gloomy face. She told her mother, "I have to change my name and change Donghui to Dongyishang." ”

Dong Zhang was taken aback and hurriedly asked the reason. Dongtian told him about the afternoon at the bookstore.

Dong Zhang was so angry that he couldn't speak for a long time. She easily waited for her anger to go well, and scolded: "That Zhou Yanan was just the distant niece of the Queen Mother, what kind of noble thing, he actually bullied our Hui'er." Our Hui'er is a serious royal nobleman! I will prepare a car to meet your grandmother at once, and then go with her to the palace to see the Queen Mother, and let her judge!"

Dongtian's expression was unusually calm, and she stopped her mother: "Mother, you don't have to go. ”

Dong Zhang asked why.

"Zhou Yanan didn't make a mistake. When she saw that I was teaching her sister as the county lord, she also taught me as a waiter. If you go to the Queen Mother and say it, you can't take care of it. ”

Dong Zhang's was angry: "Is it just like that?" "If it is according to her temper, she will simply make a fuss, and everyone will have no face.

"Of course not." Dongtian's eyes are slender and long, like a beautiful snake: "The servant can indeed crush the county lord, but I am not as good as her, I will obey." But she forgot that our house also has the ability to beat the Zhou Mansion down, and Zhou Yanan had to accept it. ”

Zhou Ren's death was the revenge of the eldest princess's mansion against the Zhou family. It is also a response to Dongtian's forced name change.

As for the Zhang family, the Dingguo Mansion is indeed close to the Zhang family, where the eldest princess married. It's just that although Zhang has such a task as monitoring the Zhou Mansion, she is not stupid at all. She's not an obedient pawn.

After the Zhang family married into the Zhou family, he regarded the Zhou family as his support for the rest of his life. She didn't believe in the Dingguo Mansion, and she didn't intend to give them her life. She didn't plan to betray the Zhou family at all, she didn't do anything to dig her own grave. If the Zhou family falls, will she still have a good life as Zhou Renzheng's wife? Will the Zhang family definitely save her? Does she have to count on the conscience of the Zhang family for the rest of her life?

She didn't think the Zhang family had any conscience to speak of. The aunt and grandmother who got married, after using it, stayed in the family nunnery and never went out for the rest of their lives. Moreover, if he can save his life, it is already the result of the Zhang family's mercy.

She doesn't want that. She stayed in the Zhou family, and her life was saved.

What's more, the Zhou family has children she loves.

Zhou Yanan didn't know if Zhang really liked her or was hypocritical. Of course, she couldn't ask a woman who was not related to her by blood to be nice to her. Chang has no such obligation.

It was precisely because of Zhang's refusal to cooperate with the Dingguo Mansion that the Zhang family became angry and betrayed her in a blink of an eye. Zhang's life in the Zhou family was so sad. Thinking about it this way, Zhou Yanan's things that were difficult to understand before can be understood. Why did the Dingguo Mansion always pretend to be deaf and dumb about Zhang's abuse, instead of standing up for her like the real mother's family? Because this is their pot in the first place!

Zhang is very smart, and when his core interests conflict with the core interests of the family, he decisively abandons his family. At the same time, she lost the protection of the Dingguo Mansion.

Few people have the courage of a strong man with a broken arm.

It is precisely because of Zhang's wisdom and courage that she won the pity of the Queen Mother Zhou Hui.

Zhou Yanan thought to himself, the Zhang family does not look like a traitor, of course, the possibility of the Zhang family using bitter meat tricks to whitewash the Zhang family cannot be ruled out. However, Zhou Ren has passed away, and Zhou Yanan usually does not live in the Zhou Mansion. That Zhang's family, can it still turn the sky upside down?

There is indeed an internal response of the Zhang family in this house. Otherwise, Zhou Yanan and Sister Last went shopping, how could they meet the county lord of Dongtian?

There is no such coincidence in the world, unless there is a heart.

These people from the Zhou family should have been cleaned up a long time ago.

With Lou Wangshu here, Zhou Yanan was not worried about not being able to catch the spies at all.

As long as Lou Wangshu works harder and puts a few Zhang Mansion stewards into those people's dreams at will, he can naturally try out those spies. After all, people are generally unguarded in their dreams.

Zhou Yanan thought about it and fell asleep.

A dreamless night.

On the second day, Sister Yan hurriedly finished freshening up and went to find Zhou Yanan.

At this time, the morning light was faint, and a little girl opened the curtain for Sister Last, and saw the maid who was waiting for the wash to come in with a basin, a towel, a target mirror and other things. Huizhen greeted her and said with a smile: "Your sister just got up." ”

Sister last hurried in, and saw Zhou Yanan sitting cross-legged on the low couch, Huizhen walked up to her, covered the placket in front of Zhou Yanan with a big handkerchief, and took the basin, knelt down on both knees, and held the basin high. Several other girls were holding towels and mirror fat powder, and Zhou Yanan reached out to the basin to take a bath.

She washed in a hurry. Sister last smiled and said: "Sister don't worry, I came to you because I was afraid that I would forget about it after a while, and it was not a hurry." Zhou Yalast calmly took a bath.

Another girl brought the washbasin. In that pot was the juice wrung out of the freshly picked rose petals, which was washed and cleaned, and was powdered with pearls the size of a longan. Zhou Yanan put his hand in and soaked it, but his hand was like a peeled green onion root.

Although Zhou Yanan said that she lived in the Zhou Mansion, her food and clothing were all arranged by the Internal Affairs Office.

She saw Sister last staring at the washbasin, and said to Huizhen with a smile, "Prepare another basin for the third lady." ”

Sister last hurriedly said that there was no need. Zhou Yanan instructed the maid to prepare a pot tomorrow and send it to Sister Last's room.

Sister last smiled and asked, "Sister, the way you walked last night is a divination like an immortal guide?" You teach me. ”

"Silly girl, how can this be divination?"

"Didn't you measure the approximate location and then go over?"

"No, it's not. I don't know how to calculate. There are so many gossip yin and yang, heavenly and earthly branches, and the five elements of the gods, it's strange that I can recite it! ”

"Huh?" Sister last looked disappointed. She continued to ask, "Then tell me, how did you get through?" ”

"It's just an ordinary escape technique. Isn't it all like this when witches are going somewhere? Do you have to walk on your feet? ”

"How do you know where you're going?"

"I don't know. You don't need to name the specific location when you use the retreat! ”

Sister last was dumbfounded: "Of course you need to!" I see, you've combined the art of weft with the art of retreat. As long as you think in your heart, I'm going to find Zhou Yalast. So, you can find me wherever I am, right? ”

"Pretty much, though I don't quite understand what you mean by 'Zovi'. I first used the escape technique, and then prophesied, I saw Sister Last. To make sure my prophecy is true, the retreat will automatically take me to you. Theoretically, I don't have to do it. All I have to do is prophesy, I have seen Sister Last. Then with your eyes closed, you can see you by walking around at will. ”

Sister Yan looked at Zhou Yanan, her eyes were hot. sighed again: "The art of divination, I can still memorize by rote; I can't even touch the edges of this technique. ”

Zhou Yanan comforted her: "This kind of prophecy is quite chicken. Judging by what I've tried so far, there is only one unknown thing in my sentence. For example, if I want to say, I met the husband of Sister Last. That's useless. Perhaps, along the way, I may indeed meet Sister Last's husband, but I don't know who he is! The limitations of this approach are certainly significant. In general, I don't dare to use it indiscriminately. ”

When Sister Last heard "Sister Last's husband", she blushed, took a sip and ran away.

Zhou Yanan asked someone to come over with filial piety clothes, planning to find something to fill his stomach at will, and then go to mourn.
