Chapter 58: Reversal
"Did the Holy Lord hear the clue?" Xue Tianao sat on the chair next to him and said to Tang Siqi unexpectedly.
Tang Siqi thought for a moment, Xue Tianao asked some innocuous questions, and Mo Shi answered plainly, but he couldn't hear any questions.
But Xue Tianao asked him like this, which means that Xue Tianao has discovered something.
Tang Siqi couldn't help frowning slightly, he didn't know what to say but he couldn't express it, so his face was cloudy.
Xue Tianao grinned, and then said: "The saint is not easy to say because of his face, it is because the saint is a gentleman, but Xue Tianao can say it casually, because Xue Tianao is not a gentleman......" When Xue Tianao said this, Tang Siqi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and his expression looked much more relaxed, no matter what, he could neither say it nor lose face.
Xue Tianao continued: "Just now the Mo couple said that they bought a child for thirty taels of silver eighteen years ago, saying that because they looked like the eldest lady of the Xiao family, then it means that they have seen the eldest lady of the Xiao family, and then I asked them if they had ever come to the imperial capital, and they said that this is the first time to come, just imagine, can the eldest lady of the Xiao family go to the countryside?" ”
Xue Tianao clarified the flaws in a few words, making everyone present silent.
Tang Siqi's expression became complicated, and so did Xiao Man.
Xue Tianao hugged his fists towards Tang Siqi and said: "It's just that the authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear, there are flaws in the words of the Mo couple, but no one pays attention to it, everyone only pays attention to the development of the situation, and ignores the details......" Speaking of this, Xue Tianao smiled and said, "Holy Lord, has your major matter been solved?" ”
Tang Siqi only understood at this moment why Xue Tianao wanted to say that a gentleman is not a gentleman, and his answer was completely fraudulent!
However, Tang Siqi was still very satisfied, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and said: "Tianao wait a minute, after the widow has dealt with this matter, I will discuss your big matter with you." ”
Xue Tianao obediently stepped aside, sat down next to Xue Qingyi, and waited expectantly for Tang Siqi to end this qiē.
Tang Siqi looked at the Mo couple who were shaking like chaff, and asked coldly, "What else do you have to defend now?" ”
The Mo couple couldn't say anything for a long time, and finally they both collapsed, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Tang Siqi: "It's all from the eldest lady!" Holy mercy, don't kill the heads of the two of us......"
Xiao Wanrou's face turned pale all of a sudden, her lips were bloodless, she raised her trembling finger and pointed at the Mo couple, and said sharply: "No! Don't bite indiscriminately! This has nothing to do with me! You told me! ”
Xiao Wanyao sneered on the side, Xiao Wanrou was playing with fire and self-immolation, and God couldn't see it.
Xiao Wanrou's panic has made Xiao Wanyao lose interest, she feels that her sister is too stupid, if it weren't for her father's blessing all the way, she doesn't know how many times she has died now, and her intelligence is not half as good as her mother Liu Ruyun.
Xiao Wanyao suddenly thought of her father, her heart flickered, and finally clenched her fists.
She raised her eyes and couldn't help but glance at Xiao Man, this Zuo Prime Minister is really getting older and more confused, Xiao Wanyao just thought that he didn't have a long-term vision at first, but now she found that Xiao Man's vision was becoming more and more short-sighted......
Xiao Wanyao lowered her eyes and said in her heart: Maybe my father started to be so eager for quick success a long time ago......
Xiao Manzheng looked at Xiao Wanrou with a shocked face, he listened to the words of his eldest daughter and broke his arm, but he didn't expect this decision to be so wrong that it couldn't be wrong!
The Mo couple knelt on the ground crying bitterly, they regretted it very much at the moment, they were blinded by interests for a while, they didn't expect it to be debunked so lightly!
"Wan Yao...... Wan Yao! Help me! I'm your aunt......" Xiao Wanyao's aunt saw that the situation was not good, so she turned to ask Xiao Wanyao.
Tang Siqi opened his mouth coldly, his voice was like a call from hell: "The Mo couple deceived the king and recklessly ......"
"Holy ......" Xiao Wanyao suddenly got up, Tang Siqi thought that she had softened her heart and wanted to intercede for her uncle and aunt.
Xiao Wanyao blessed her body: "Wanyao has not recovered from typhoid fever and is unwell...... If there is nothing else, Wan Yao will retire first. ”
Xiao Wanrou sat slumped in the chair, the Mo couple were also desperate, and Tang Siqi nodded to her and allowed her to leave.
Xiao Wanyao turned around and left without hesitation, and secretly glanced at Xue Tianao before leaving, he still had a gloating smile on his face, as if everything had nothing to do with him, he was just a bystander, as long as things didn't affect him, he wouldn't interfere and just watch the excitement.
But he is indeed helping her again and again, as if he is protecting Xiao Wanyao in his own unique way.
That's it for now!
Xiao Wanyao hooked the corners of her mouth and left, leaving only her back.
Tang Siqi saw that since Xiao Wanyao didn't have the slightest intention of pleading, he had full authority to deal with it, so he didn't have to worry about anything.
Xiao Wanyao felt very sad when she left the Xuanshu Hall alone, not because of Xiao Wanrou's frame-by, she was very used to this woman; It's not because of her aunt's betrayal, her aunt has always been bad to her, and it's not impossible to sell her for profit......
What saddened her was that her father could abandon her......
A sense of loss filled the entire heart, Xiao Wanyao walked forward in frustration, she did not go back to the other courtyard of the Jiaofang Palace, although it was where she lived for a long time, but it still made her feel depressed. Just walking, Xiao Wanyao walked into the dark but not narrow alleyway, and when she looked up, she saw that this was the back door of the Ning Zi Palace.
Xiao Wanyao reluctantly touched the corners of her mouth, how could she come to the cold palace unconsciously?
The tragic days of being locked up in it for three months without being able to move are still vivid at this time, and every time she thinks about it, Xiao Wanyao has a feeling of suffocation, until Chinese New Year's Eve when Xue Tianao takes her to revisit the old land, she finds that she has gradually let go of her guard against this place and is free from the suffering she once had.
Xiao Wanyao raised her hand to touch the door, the door was not locked, and with a little more force, the wooden door slowly opened.
When you enter this door, you can directly see the Ning Zi Terrace, anyway, there is no one left and right, and Xiao Wanyao has nowhere to go, so she simply went up to the Ning Zi Terrace and sat on the jade steps in a daze.
At this time, there was already greenery in the courtyard, and it seemed that it was no longer barren, as if it was telling the prosperity of the Purple Hall in the past.
Xiao Wanyao sat like this, sitting all afternoon, and it was cool in the evening that made her come back to her senses.
The door squeaked, Xiao Wanyao turned around indifferently, but saw a lilac figure coming in and approaching her.
Sure enough, it was Xue Tianao. Xiao Wanyao continued to turn her head and sat listlessly on the jade steps.
"You are also calm, Tang Siqi sent people everywhere to look for you outside, but you came here to hide quietly." Xue Tianao walked up to her and sat down and said.
Xiao Wanyao glanced at her, and then said, "He just wants to tell me why he chose to abandon me just now, so that I can understand him, it's the same whether I listen or not." ”
Xue Tianao was not in a hurry to drive her away, but just smiled, and said in a low voice: "Your uncle and aunt were sentenced by Tang Siqi to crack the car, tsk, this criminal law has been very rarely used since the founding of this dynasty, think about it, a person's limbs and neck are covered with wrist-thick hemp rope, and one end of the rope must be tied to the carriage horse...... The executioner screamed at zero, and five carriages galloped in five directions at the same time...... He's really ruthless enough if he's not dead! ”
Hearing the word "car crack", Xiao Wanyao only felt that her temples jumped a few times, although she felt cruel, she also understood Tang Siqi's intentions.
He, the emperor, didn't want to be too aggrieved, everyone wanted to ride on his head, but they didn't know that he was also on fire.
Xiao Wanyao was not surprised by this, but said lightly: "As expected, the Xiao family gave him so much anger today, and also brushed his face, of course he was angry, of course the Mo family was the best place for him to vent his anger, they had no support and no background, and they also teased him fiercely, so it was strange that he was not angry." ”
Xue Tianao looked at her for a long time before saying, "You seem to know him very well." ”
Xiao Wanyao looked flustered for a while, and then said: "Observe words and looks, be careful on weekdays, and probably know, there is nothing you don't understand......
"But you seem to know his mind better......" Xue Tianao turned his head to no longer look at her, but at the dim sky, "It's like they've known each other for a long time, his moody personality ......"
Xiao Wanyao also had to admire Xue Tianao's insight, and found that her understanding of Tang Siqi was beyond the normal range.
Xiao Wanyao could only smile bitterly at this, because she didn't know how to explain it.
Xue Tianao didn't continue to ask, but changed the topic and asked, "The person who raised you is about to die, do you feel heartache?" ”
Xiao Wanyao replied: "Everyone has their own destiny, which is not destined by heaven, but by themselves. Xiao Wanyao supported her cheeks with one hand, looked at the buds that had just broken through the soil in the yard, and continued: "She is kind to me, but my uncle also gave them a lot of money to repay the kindness, and as far as I am concerned, their kindness is repaid, and they already owe each other, and now they are far away to frame me for their own selfishness, why should I save them?" I think the Holy Lord will definitely cheapen my eldest sister, it's a pity......"
Although Xiao Wanyao spoke ruthlessly, her eyes were full of decline, Xue Tianao raised his hand and patted her back gently, and said in a low voice: "You are right, life and death have their own fate, since these have nothing to do with you, they have nothing to do with me." ”
Xue Tianao's words and actions at this time were quite ambiguous, but it didn't make Xiao Wanyao feel uncomfortable, through this period of time, the relationship between the two became more and more familiar, and Xiao Wanyao also felt more and more comfortable with Xue Tianao.
"Pay attention to your words and deeds!" Xiao Wanyao finally said something to him.
Xue Tianao didn't care, and shook his head at Xiao Wanyao: "I'm not married, you are not married, what is there to avoid suspicion?" ”
Xiao Wanyao glared at him: "Now that I am still in the deep palace, I may become a holy concubine one day, and my marriage contract with you has long been canceled, even if the atmosphere of the Wei State is open again, you will not allow this to happen!?" ”
Xiao Wanyao wanted to push his hand away, but found that Xue Tianao was motionless, and did not mean to remove his hand, with a cynical smile on his face. I1483
