Chapter 22: Doubts After Death
In the box on the second floor of Qin Yuan.
A delicate and lovely girl, very clever, was looking at the girl dressed as a man opposite very worriedly, and her eyes were full of doubts.
"Lotus Heart Girl...... That's what you call it, right? ”
The girl said, "Miss Su, I'm not called Lianxin anymore." ”
Su Rongyi said: "Indeed, when I returned to the Zhenguo Mansion, I should use my original name." ”
Lianxin was surprised.
"It's not hard to guess, you were the one who was arranged by the Zhenguo Mansion to enter the Xue family from the beginning."
Su Rongyi said very firmly, but felt slightly bitter in his heart.
Why bother, does she have such a great value, to let the Zhenguo Mansion arrange people to be by her side since she was a child, her grandmother, who didn't even want to see her, turned out that she still had this weight in her heart.
Lianxin bit her lip, "Are you really our young lady's old friend?" ”
"Is it strange?" Su Rongyi tugged at the corners of her mouth, "She has something to hide from you, just like you hide it from her." ”
"I ......" Lianxin still wanted to argue, but there was nothing to refute.
Facing her at this time, Su Rongyi was calmer than he imagined. It's good to figure it out, there's nothing to be sad and angry, Lianxin has been obeying the orders of the Zhenguo Mansion since she was a child, and her master is the old Duchess of the country, Xie Miao, not her.
"Let's talk about it, how much do you know about Xue Jiao's death?"
Her tone was very sharp, and the hand under the lotus heart table clenched slightly into a fist.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Su Rongyi said again, "Actually, you also believe in me in your heart, don't you, otherwise why would you come to see me, don't worry, I won't embarrass you, I just want to know how she died...... She herself probably doesn't want to be so unjustly wronged......"
Hearing the last sentence, Lian Xin's eyes were red, and she whispered: "My young lady ...... when there was an accident on the official ship entering Beijing."
"Don't you want to say it properly? Accidentally? Then you tell me, why did Lord Liu's family, who were originally scheduled to enter Beijing on the same ship as Xue Jiao, arrive in Jinling a month late? ”
When a sentence came out, Lianxin's face changed slightly, but she quickly covered it up.
Lord Liu and the Zhenguo Mansion have a lot of friendship, every year on the birthday of the old Duchess of the country, he will send congratulatory gifts from thousands of miles, he will return to Beijing this year to report on his work, naturally the Zhenguo Mansion will not be less.
Lianxin still gritted her teeth: "Lord Liu, they ...... Miss Su, I'm just a girl, I really don't know. ”
Su Rongyi's slender white fingers slowly rubbed the edge of the teacup.
The doubts in her heart are not only this, she only remembered after she became Su Rongyi, when she boarded the ship that day, she found that the draft of the ship was very shallow, and the official ship of the day carried many officials in the northwest to the 60th birthday of the Queen Mother.
Perhaps the most of the empty boxes that were carried on board were empty.
I didn't care about it that day, but now I have to make a lot of love for myself, and I boldly guess that the whole boat is just to bury her?
The thought of this made her scalp tingle.
Su Rongyi stared at Lianxin and said: "If you come here today, it means that you still have a little bit of the old friendship with Xue Jiao's master and servant, but your speech is delayed, do you think this is worthy of her?" You obey people's orders, there are some things that you can't do, I believe she won't blame you even if she knows, but now you look at it, Xue Jiao is dead, her store property has fallen into the hands of others, and the relatives she cares about are suffering, can't these things be made up? ”
When Lianxin heard the shop, her eyes suddenly wet, "It's me...... I'm sorry Miss, but I can't help it...... Master Xue Si, they ...... Grandpa Guo personally spoke, I really can't help myself......"
"Okay, stop crying." Su Rongyi interrupted her, "Xue Jiao's temperament must be better than me, the shop is gone, compared to it, she died inexplicably, which made her even more unwilling, not to mention, she was still killed by someone......"
Lianxin was startled, wiped her tears and whispered, "Miss Su, you can't talk nonsense!" ”
"Am I talking nonsense, you know it in your heart, I just don't understand, Xue Jiao has any reason why he has to die......"
Lianxin looked at Su Rongyi again, the girl in front of her looked beautiful, but her expression was heavy, and there was an unshakable firmness between her eyebrows, this kind of firmness, she was very familiar with......
"Miss Su, is it ...... Do you want to avenge my young lady? ”
Su Rongyi glanced at her.
Not thinking, but definitely.
"Revenge? Tell me who I'm looking for. ”
Lianxin lowered her head and was silent for a while, then sighed slowly: "Miss Su, actually...... Now all of them are very good, the Xie family, and the Xue family are all very good. I don't know how to persuade you, maybe you don't believe it, I wake up every day and feel very guilty and painful, I feel sorry for Miss, Miss She is such a good person, but why does God treat her badly? I really don't know if Miss was killed by someone, or if it was really just an accident, I'm not you, and I don't have the courage to find out......"
She cried as she spoke: "Don't you think that there are many times when the truth is too cruel, and if Miss knew about it in heaven, how sad she would be...... But now, she may feel relieved, Grandpa Guo's family affairs are smooth, the old lady is also stable, the entire Xue family is safe, and the young master in Suiyuan is also very good, she may also be happy for them......"
Gratified?! Happy?!
Could it be that her death has fulfilled the comfort and peace of the Xie family and the Xue family today?! Why should she be relieved? Why should she be happy?
It was as if she had returned to her father's death, standing alone on the desolate grassland, the distant sunset was as red as blood, and the northwest wind was whistling in her ears, and she could not even shed a tear.
Su Rongyi only felt a heat in his head.
Wait a minute......
Maybe that's the case, and the lotus heart means......
"You mean, the Xue family actually wants Xue Jiao to die, right?"
In other words, it was the Xue family who allowed the Xie family to do whatever they wanted to Xue Jiao.
The voice of the question was indescribably depressing.
Lianxin cried and shook her head desperately.
Su Rongyi forced himself to find a trace of reason in the infinite sorrow and pain as if his heart had been torn apart.
yes, she should have figured it out.
Lianxin was arranged by her side, wouldn't grandmother know? She boarded the official ship to Jinling, which was also arranged by the Xue family......
The words of the grandmother in Jingyun Temple rang in my ears.
It turns out that no one really expects her to be reborn?
It turns out that she was really abandoned......
Without her, the Xue family and the Xie family would be better.
Holding back his grief, Su Rongyi asked Lianxin, "In the end, without a Xue Jiao, what benefits can the Xue family and the Xie family get?" Is it just to be able to marry the Su family? ”
What is the reason why this marriage must be consummated?
Lianxin still shook her head and said nothing.
She's really talking too much, and she really doesn't know anything more.
