The sun's rays fell on the snow and turned into the room, illuminating the hearts of the people. Helian Tao secretly said that Li Shuci had a brilliant plan, and he was able to find such a family to frame Li Zheng in such a hasty situation, which was really a good means.

Tao Shisan didn't know that her daughter had died tragically at this time, and there was still a trace of hope in her eyes, and she said: "Ten years ago, there was a famine in Ezhou, there was no food and clothing, many people starved to death, and when spring came, those who froze to death in the cold winter began to rot, and I heard that after the famine, the whole village was infected by the epidemic and finally died, and my heart was very uneasy. Just before the little food left in the family was exhausted, he escaped from Ezhou with his mother-in-law and children. ”

Tao Shisan touched Tao Yu's little head and said, "That's Xiaoyu is only two years old, and Xiaoshuang is already 6 years old." My wife died of illness on the way, leaving us as a family of four, Xiaoyu was hungry and just cried every day, but we had nothing to eat. I can only go all the way to the capital, hoping to meet a noble person on the way to enjoy a bite to eat. But that's not a long-term solution after all, so ...... So I bought my daughter Xiaoshuang ......"

"Hmph, after ten years, what evidence do you have to prove that Xiaoshuang is your daughter?" Li Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Tao Shisan who was kneeling on the ground majestically.

Tao Shisan's eyes were sad and full of guilt, "The children of poor families are sensible early, Xiaoshuang has already remembered things at that time, and she is very obedient. Knowing that I was going to sell her to Yapo. She also said that her brother was too young, and if she sold her family to avoid starvation, she was willing to be sold. I felt more and more guilty as I listened to her milky words, so I wanted to ask Ya Po where she wanted to take Xiaoshuang, thinking to myself, it would be good to be in the same place with Xiaoshuang, and when I have money in the future, I will redeem Xiaoshuang again...... But the Ya Po said that these little girls are to be sent to the nobles to serve, and it is best not to have any contact in the future......"

Helian Tao's eyes flickered, he didn't expect there to be such a thing. Last time, Uncle Hong asked Xiang Jiu to talk to Li Shuci and spy on the cooperation matters, and the two had reached a consensus to help each other and benefit each other. It's just that he always thought that these things were just arranged by Li Shuci to frame Li Zheng, but now it seems that what Tao Shisan said is probably true. He was a little confused, could Li Shuci be a prophet?

In his opinion, the old lady of the Li family occupies a very important position in Li Shuci's heart, and it is impossible for her to hurt those close to her in order to defeat the enemy. However, how on earth did she manage to arrange such an ingenious chain of schemes in such a short period of time?

Tao Shisan's slightly cloudy eyes left two lines of tears, "So, I had to secretly follow Xiaoshuang's tracks all the way, but after all, my feet were not as strong as the carriage and horses, and I finally lost them." I only vaguely felt that Xiaoshuang might have been taken to Shangjing. So I started a small business with the money in a small town near Shangjing. Until the year before last, the family's conditions were already relatively wealthy, and my mother-in-law mentioned Xiaoshuang, so the family came to Shangjing and asked everywhere. ”

"Because I was in the fur and cloth business, I gradually came into contact with the people in various prefectures, so I asked someone to inquire in each prefecture if there was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl named Xiaoshuang. At first, there was no news, and I was about to give up, but at this time, probably last summer, on the way home, a girl suddenly stopped me, I saw her, and recognized her at a glance as my daughter Xiaoshuang, although she has grown into a big girl, but the eyebrows and eyes are almost exactly the same as when I was a child, I am very happy...... He told her that he wanted to redeem her and take her home, but she refused......"

Of course Helian Tao knew why Yuan Shuang refused, Yuan Shuang did things for the master to kill people, and he knew too much, and it was impossible for him to leave. But he pretended not to know anything, and asked, "Why won't she go with you?"

"yes, that's what I asked her. Tao Shisan's eyes were full of anticipation, and I said, "Now Daddy is rich." can completely support the family, isn't it good to reunite with the family of my father and brother? But Xiaoshuang said...... She has found a home, that person is very good to her, and she wants to take care of him by his side......"

Li Yu frowned slightly, the 'he' in Tao Shisan's mouth must be referring to Li Zheng, but Li Zheng had already made a marriage contract with Wang Huai's daughter at the end of last year, Wang Huai is the highest military attache around Emperor Xuwen, the Shangjing Defense Division, the imperial guards, etc. are all under his jurisdiction, and he should be a person with real power in the court, even as the prime minister, he and Cao Cheng have to be a little polite when they see Wang Huai.

Although Li Zheng is just from the Li family's house, he is handsome and outstanding, and he is very appreciated by Wang Huai, this marriage is the first thing Wang Huai mentioned to him, Wang Huai's daughter Wang Danyang is also a talented and good-looking lady, Li Yu is very satisfied with this marriage, his eyes turned to Tao Shisan's face again, and his brows were furrowed tightly.

Helian Tao watched from the sidelines, and his mind was also in a hurry, Li Zheng's quasi-father-in-law Wang Huai held several forbidden troops in Da'an Palace, and Li Zheng and Shen Yuan were very close to the eldest prince. He couldn't help but be surprised, did Wang Huai plan to get closer to the eldest prince? Or had he already been put away by Shen Hao? He looked at Tao Shisan's sad cheeks and thought, Wang Danyang was one of the few outstanding figures among the nobles in Shangjing, not only beautiful, but also arrogant, how could she allow her fiancé to have such a ridiculous thing before marriage......

It turned out that Li Shuci knew about the relationship between Li Zheng and Yuan Shuang, and wanted to use this incident to sabotage the marriage, but he didn't expect the old lady to be poisoned, so Li Shuci implemented this plan in advance. Helian Tao couldn't help but be shocked by Li Shuci's scheming, fabricating a false image to frame the enemy is the best policy, and using everything real to turn up and confuse everyone's sight is the best policy!

Helian Tao breathed a sigh of relief, and while she and Li Yu were thinking about it, Tao Shisan continued: "I know that Xiaoshuang's master is the eldest young master of the Li Mansion, and I thought to myself that she, a merchant girl, could only be a concubine in such a family, so I persuaded her to give up. But she said that she had been following the eldest young master for several years, and the eldest young master had affection for her, and Xiaoshuang said that she was already his person......"

Li Yu was slightly angry in his heart, I don't know if this person has told anyone about it, if it reaches Wang Danyang's ears......

Helian Tao asked, "Then what did you mean by what you said to you some time ago?"

Tao Shisan was frightened in his heart, and began to worry about Xiaoshuang again, and replied: "Since Xiaoshuang met me for the first time, she would sometimes go home during regular holidays, and we looked at her with a happy smile from time to time, so we no longer persuaded her to leave the Li Mansion. However, only half a year has passed...... At the end of last year, Xiaoshuang suddenly ran home and cried, saying that her life was miserable...... I looked at her in so much pain and asked again and again what was going on......"

Xiaoshuang said that the eldest young master had made a marriage contract, and the other party was a famous lady from a famous family in Beijing. Because it was a high marriage, the eldest young master was afraid that the other party would be dissatisfied in his heart, so he couldn't keep her by his side anymore...... I was very heartbroken after hearing this, but the villain's strength was meager, and he couldn't get justice for his daughter, so I thought it would be better to take this opportunity to leave. But Xiaoshuang said that it was impossible for her to leave...... But he refused to explain why. ”

"There has been no news from Xiaoshuang for a long time after she went back, and I am anxious that something will happen to her. But every time Xiaoshuang came back, she told us not to let people know about our relationship, although I didn't know why, but I didn't dare to go to her, for fear of causing trouble for her, just one day after the year. Xiaoshuang finally returned, but she just hurriedly left a few words and left. ”

Helian Tao asked, "What did she say?"

"She said that she had recently been ordered to do things for her master, and if there was no news of her in the future, there was no need to look for her, and she would leave the capital and not come back......," Tao Shisan was very uneasy: "She also left us some money, and then there was no more news." ”

Li Yu couldn't hold back at this time, Yuan Shuang was serving by Li Zheng's side in the open, secretly, but often doing things for the Shen family, if he didn't stop it, I don't know what he could say! "Then why do you say that Li Zheng kidnapped weak women and killed people to vent his anger? Everything is just your one-sided words!"

Tao Shisan said: "Xiaoshuang sent a box of noodle rouge to her mother before, and the insider accidentally knocked it to the ground a few days ago, only to find that there was a thin interlayer on the bottom, and there was a letter in the mezzanine. Tao Shisan said this, his tone was slightly excited: "It says that the master asked her to kill people, and she didn't dare not do it, but she would be killed afterwards." The eldest young master bears her first, it is better to end up ......"

Tao Shisan suddenly touched the ground with his head, and the grief was irrepressibly revealed from his body, and the Wang family on the side heard this, suppressing this grief and lying on Tao Shisan's body, tears rolling down his cheeks. Tao Yu opened a pair of big eyes, he had heard his father and mother mention many times since he was a child, and he sold his sister to support him, so although he had not been in contact with his sister a few times, his sister was very dependent and grateful, he looked at Helian Tao, and his voice was still a little childish, and asked: Adult, please tell me, how is my sister now, she ...... Has she been killed by the eldest young master?"

A trace of unbearability flashed in Helian Tao's eyes, but he couldn't hide the truth, they would know sooner or later: "Your sister is ...... It's indeed dead......"

The three people who knelt on the ground were suddenly shrouded in great grief......

"Hmph, don't you know that Yuanshuang is hiding evil intentions first, and harming others will not be the opposite?" A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Li Yu's eyebrows. He said to Helian Tao: "Shizi, these three Diao people are chasing after the wind and shadows, and they are full of nonsense! Obviously, it is my Li family's descendants who have suffered, but in their mouths they have become murderers! How hateful! The prince must not be tolerated!"

A hint of sarcasm flashed in Helian Tao's eyes, and just as he was about to speak, he heard a cold and clever female voice say: "Grandfather, right and wrong must be evidenced. How can you conclude that someone else is lying because you have been hurt?"

Li Shuci was covered with a snowy fox fur, wrapped her slender body in it, her face was condensed, and she said coldly: "Moreover, I want to know that the master mentioned in Yuanshuang's letter wants her to kill people...... Who are you trying to kill?"

Li Yu's pupils constricted, no one knew that Yao was stabbed in the middle of the night, and the only person in the mansion who was dying was ...... Old lady ......
