Chapter 115: Who is the one who instructs you?
When they came to the old book pavilion, Cheng Jingjing remembered the picture of the accident that day. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info She involuntarily reached out and touched her lower abdomen, and there was a dull pain in her heart.
"Auntie, are you alright? Sensing the change in her face, she asked in a loud voice.
"I'm fine," Cheng Jingjing looked ahead and said firmly: "I must personally find out who harmed my child, otherwise he will definitely blame his mother for not having the ability to avenge him." ”
Seeing that she was so persistent, the painting went into the library with her. It was still covered with cobwebs and a thick layer of dust, except for a pile of wood chips collapsing at the top of the staircase.
Cheng Jingjing walked over and carefully observed the section of the staircase that had broken under her feet, and then she found some man-made cracks on it.
"Come and see," Cheng Jingjing pointed to the place and said, "These few marks, don't they look like they have been cut down?"
The other two came over to see what she said. At this time, Yue Xi said in surprise: "Could it be that my aunt was deliberately framed by someone? Who would be so vicious and not even let go of the unborn fetus?"
Huabian ignored her and said to Cheng Jingjing: "Auntie, do you want to tell the prince about this matter?"
"No," a terrible thought popped up in Cheng Jingjing's heart, she said hesitantly: "This matter needs to be further explored and investigated, don't say it on the prince's side, I want to deal with it myself." ”
"That'...... It's up to you, aunt, to decide. ”
The painter seemed to guess the hesitation in her heart, but he didn't pierce her face-to-face.
After returning to Youlan Courtyard, Cheng Jingjing instructed the two: "In the past few days, you have to go around and ask to see who in the palace often uses axes." Looking at the traces on the wooden ladder, it should be a person with a lot of strength in his hands. Don't be too deliberate when you ask, just mention it casually. ”
"Auntie, don't worry," Yue Xi patted his chest proudly and said: "Finding someone is the best thing for slaves and maids, so you can rest assured that you will leave this matter to me, and I will definitely help you find it out in three days." ”
"That's all you can do. The painter couldn't help but sarcastically mock her.
"Okay, okay, you all go down," Cheng Jingjing lay on her side on the soft collapse, rubbed her temples and said, "I'm a little tired, I want to rest alone for a while." ”
Seeing that her face was tired, Yuexi and Huapan silently retreated, and before leaving, they instructed the maid at the door not to let anyone in to disturb her.
At this time, Cheng Jingjing was the only one left in the house, and her face was full of sadness and loneliness. I thought that after four months, I could take the child away from the strife in this palace, but I didn't expect that this little fetus would become a ghost before it was born......
"My child. ”
Cheng Jingjing's face twitched, and she couldn't help crying. She thought that her tears had long since dried up, but she did not expect that when she remembered that the child had touched her across the belly, she wanted to die with him at any time.
"Mother will avenge you......" She touched her stomach and muttered: "When my mother becomes a princess, you will be the little prince and the little lord of Anwangfu, and my mother will let the prince bury you and set up a tombstone for you in the suburbs, so that those who harm you will never forget you." ”
She slowly closed her eyes and let the tears run down her face.
Three days later, Yuexi came back as promised with the news he had found. She whispered mysteriously in Cheng Jingjing's ear and told everything she knew.
"Is the news true?" asked Cheng Jingjing in a deep voice.
"It was a maid who was good with me who secretly told me," Yue Xi whispered: "That man named Wei Quan is in charge of the chores of the palace on weekdays, and I heard that he is extremely powerful, and one day the maid saw him running out of the southeast corner in a panic, and he still had an ax in his hand!"
"Very good," the corners of Cheng Jingjing's mouth hooked up a sneer: "You let the painting go out of the house to find out all the details of him, and it is best to check whether he has a wife and children at home." ”
"Why didn't Auntie ask him directly?" asked Yue Xi simply.
"Silly girl, you will never be able to answer directly if you ask directly," Cheng Jingjing said indifferently: "Only people who are in danger will tell the truth, and when his family is in my hands, I will see if he dares to help that person hide it to the end." ”
Yue Xi came out in response, leaving her to sit there thoughtfully alone.
A few days later, the subordinate named Wei Quan was taken to Youlan Temple. Looking at this honest man, Cheng Jingjing opened her mouth and asked, "You are Wei Quan?"
"The minion is Wei Quan. The man stood below, his head bowed, not daring to look at her.
Cheng Jingjing picked up the teacup and brushed off the heat on it, and said slowly: "Then do you know who I am?"
Wei Quan was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect her to ask such a strange question. He thought for a moment and said, "The slave knows that you are the princess who has not passed through the door." ”
"So you know who I am," Cheng Jingjing put down the teacup with a snap and said, "Who gave you the guts to run to the library and cut down the stairs to cause me to fall down from it?"
"The slave doesn't understand what you're talking about!" Wei Quan knelt on the ground in fright, and shouted again and again: "The slave is just a handyman in the house, occasionally repairing things, and I don't know what you're talking about!"
"You don't have to be in such a hurry to clarify," Cheng Jingjing threw a bracelet on the table to the ground: "This is your lady's thing, right? You have to think clearly before you speak, if you dare to tell a lie, I will have someone cut off a finger on your lady's hand." ”
Wei Quan picked up the bracelet and looked at it, and found that she hadn't lied to herself, and suddenly sweated profusely: "The princess spares her life, and the slave is forced to do that." ”
"I know," Cheng Jingjing said, "Your old mother is seriously ill and urgently needs money to find a doctor, right? If you confess to the person who instructed you behind your back, I will let Tai heal your mother, and I don't need a penny." ”
"This ......" Wei Quan struggled for a while, and finally asked suspiciously: "You are the one who speaks, will you really cure the slave's mother?"
"Really. Cheng Jingjing said without changing her face.
"Okay, the slave told you!" Wei Quan gritted his teeth and said, "The person who instructed me is Mrs. Wen, she asked me to cut down the stairs before you go to the Library, and she said that doing so will give me a lot of money." The minions are also cornered, you must surround my life......"
"Whoa—"
The teacup in Cheng Jingjing's hand fell to the ground, and the two people on the side, Yue Xi and the painting, were even more dumbfounded.
"Y-What did you say?" she asked, in a trembling voice, "who instructed you...... Is it Mrs. Wen?"
"It's really her!" Wei Quan thought she didn't believe herself, and hurriedly said: "She found me that day and said that she said that things must be done, otherwise I won't be able to eat and walk around." She also said...... You're just a little girl, and the prince won't blame me much if something happens......"
