420: Whoever loses wins
Some people have a fierce face and dirty hands, and everyone is afraid of them.
Some people, with kind faces, but clean hands, are still scary.
Steward Xue thought that the really powerful people disdained to take action by themselves.
They are chess players, not chess pieces.
Only chess pieces can do these things.
Thinking of this, Steward Xue sighed and recorded all the confessions that the Lin family said.
When Xia Ruan left, her smile was still pure and kind, like an innocent woman in the boudoir.
It's just that......
Steward Xue looked at Mrs. Lin who was sitting in the inner room, and after thinking about it, he put down the wolf pen in his hand, pushed the door and walked in.
When Aunt Lin saw him come in, she didn't raise her eyes to look at him, but just said lightly: "Do you think I'm wrong?" β
"Aunt Lin, will the old slave send you back?" Steward Xue looked outside the house and said, "What should be said, these people are finished." The people of the Lin family have basically been dismissed, and some have also been transferred, and I am afraid that in this house, except for the old slave and the few people around the fourth lady, they will ...... in the future In the future, there will be no one you are familiar with, Mrs. Lin. β
This time, Xia Ruan also grasped the opportunity and changed the people's congress in the mansion at one time.
In the past, Xia Ruan couldn't hold back, perhaps just to wait for today.
These old people of the Lin family in the house no longer believed in Aunt Lin, after all, they dared to stop Xiao Jiu's carriage last night, which was also proposed by Mother Lu. And Mother Lu is the person next to Mrs. Lin, which is obviously what Mrs. Lin means.
Mrs. Lin can't protect them, so why should they continue to be loyal to Mrs. Lin?
They told everything they knew with their mouths. As long as they betray the Lin family, they can leave the Chang'an Marquis Mansion with their free bodies. They think it's a good deal.
It's just that these people are too naΓ―ve to think that they can break away from the Lin family in this way.
Steward Xue looked at Aunt Lin and wanted to turn around and leave.
He saw the blood on Aunt Lin's lips, and he was a little unbearable.
How many years has Mother Lu been with Mrs. Lin, he has known Mrs. Lin for many years.
Even if it's not a relative, it's a little emotional.
In this battle in a house without gunpowder, it really can't be said who wins or loses.
Because Xia Ruan didn't think about killing Aunt Lin. If she really wanted to kill Aunt Lin. The decoction sent to Aunt Lin shouldn't be these.
Xia Ruan just wants to show all the truth to Aunt Lin, whether Aunt Lin knows her mistake or not, then Aunt Lin will be harshly reprimanded by her conscience.
Such a punishment. is Xia Ruan's purpose.
Aunt Lin called Steward Xue. "Wait."
Steward Xue turned around. looked at Mrs. Lin with some confusion, "The old slave is here." β
Aunt Lin's eyes were confused, "I didn't think about harming their lives. Although I was once eager to kill them. I didn't let Mother Lu harm Xiaoxue, and there is a reason why I hate Xiaoxi. But no matter how disgusted I was with them, I never thought of killing them. Because, they are my children, I ...... I say this, can you believe it? β
Aunt Lin didn't know about Mother Lu and Xue'er going to stop Lei Liugongzi, although Aunt Lin had also tabooed Xiao Yixue over the years, she didn't think about killing her with her own hands.
If Xiao Yixue and Lei Liu had a fate, she would not deliberately destroy it.
Lu's mother hadn't told her about these things, so she didn't know at all.
She also left five hundred taels of silver for Xiao Yixue as a dowry.
Steward Xue thought for a moment before replying, "The old slave believes it." β
When Aunt Lin heard Steward Xue's words, she couldn't help but laugh helplessly.
Thaksin? He didn't believe it at all, and he didn't want to believe his words at all.
Aunt Lin covered her eyes, even Steward Xue didn't want to believe her words, let alone Xia Ruan and Xiao Jiu.
She was a real failure, she had always wanted to take her son and daughter into her hands, but she didn't want to be like this.
"Where's my father?" Mrs. Lin said very lightly, "Father is in Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing?" β
Steward Xue didn't expect that Mrs. Lin was still asking Master Lin at this time, and she was slightly stunned.
After half a ring, Steward Xue looked around and saw that there were no subordinates, and took a step closer and said, "Hou Ye locked Master Lin in Zhuangzi and didn't do anything. β
Mrs. Lin stood up from her chair and did not show a look of relief.
Steward Xue didn't understand such an Aunt Lin, so he saw Mrs. Lin walking towards the house.
Suddenly, Mrs. Lin stopped and said to Steward Xue, "Tell Xia Ruan to let her come to see me early tomorrow morning, I have something for her." Also, kill ...... Kill him...... Don't stay. β
After saying that, Aunt Lin walked out of the house.
Aunt Lin's words made Steward Xue stunned.
Killed?
Obviously, what Mrs. Lin meant in her words was to kill Master Lin, this ...... If he hadn't heard it with his own ears, Steward Xue wouldn't have believed that this was the words that came out of Aunt Lin's mouth.
Aunt Lin's temperament is too fickle, and I don't know if this is true or not.
However, since Aunt Lin and Mrs. Lin took the initiative to bring it up, Steward Xue was still ready to convey these words to Xia Ruan.
Because Steward Xue understands that only when the Marquis of Chang'an Mansion is stable, his life can be stable. All he can do is to help Xiao Jiu well, and he can't have two hearts.
Otherwise, his family will be ruined, or even die without a place to be buried.
Steward Xue took the paper on the table, and some of the things written on it were actually the deeds of Master Lin that he had never known. Steward Xue exhaled a breath of turbidity before turning around and walking towards Xia Ruan's main courtyard.
At that time, Xiao Yuanxi was holding a picture in front of Xia Ruan, and pointed happily, "Third sister-in-law, is it good-looking?" β
Xia Ruan looked at the things Xiao Yuanxi brought with a stunned expression.
The painting in Xiao Yuanxi's hand is the favorite wild goose picture of the emperor of the previous dynasty, and there are only two wild geese left in the palace of the former dynasty.
One is in the hands of today's body, and now the value of this painting Xia Ruan does not dare to measure it in silver. But now, Xiao Yuanxi took this picture and told Xia Ruan that it was something that someone else gave her.
Xia Ruan held Xiao Yuanxi's hand and looked calm, "Tell the third sister-in-law, who gave you the painting." β
Xiao Yuanxi was a little puzzled and a little hesitant.
"This is no ordinary painting." Xia Ruan hurriedly put away the scroll, "This painting is very valuable, do you know?" β
Xiao Yuanxi was obviously stunned, Xia Ruan was serious, obviously not joking with her.
Xiao Yuanxi hesitated, but still said softly, "Yes...... The Four Princes...... The Four Princes gave it to me. β
When Xiao Yuanxi said this, Xia Ruan almost lost the scroll in his hand.
Qin Shuo?
Why did Qin Shuo send something to Xiao Yuanxi, and it was such a valuable thing. Xia Ruan held the scroll in his hand, and didn't know what to say for a while.
In the past few days, Qin Shuo has been to the Chang'an Marquis Mansion a little frequently, but most of the time he is also looking for her husband. Xia Ruan had never heard anyone say that Xiao Yuanxi and Qin Shuo had met in private.
Xiao Yuan was happy to see that Xia Ruan was silent, and his face turned pale with fright, "Third sister-in-law, I didn't mean to accept the things of the fourth prince. A few days ago, I was learning to paint in the backyard, and the fourth prince said that the geese I painted were like the big white geese, so he gave me this painting and let me learn. Third sister-in-law, I refused to accept it at the time. But the fourth prince said that if I don't accept it, I will probably only be able to draw a big white goose in my life, and I will ......"
Xiao Yuanxi was quite angry at the time.
She looked at the painting in her hand, obviously it was a wild goose, but Qin Shuofei said that she painted it like a big white goose, which made Xiao Yuan want to stomp his feet with joy.
However, due to the difference between respect and inferiority, Xiao Yuanxi did not refute Qin Shuo's words, but worked harder to learn painting.
She is a person who does not want to admit defeat, if others say that her painting skills are not good, she will do better.
Because her fourth sister once smiled and said to her, "When I was young, I didn't think about what I would be like in the future." Slowly, those harsh sounds become the most beautiful music in the world, and you will know that all the hard work pays off. β
Xiao Yuanxi wants to make himself excellent, and he also wants to make Xia Ruan happy.
Only when she becomes excellent will Xia Ruan like herself more.
Xia Ruan's birthday was approaching, and Xiao Yuanxi wanted to paint a picture for Xia Ruan in person, so he gave Xia Ruan a picture scroll and asked her if she liked the wild goose.
She was embarrassed to tell Xia Ruan that because she was angry with Qin Shuo recently, she had only practiced painting wild geese.
It's just that she didn't expect that the picture scroll that Qin Shuo gave her would be so valuable.
Qin Shuo is a person who will not be kind to people for no reason, so why did Qin Shuo give Xiao Yuanxi these things?
Is it for Xiao Jiu?
Xia Ruan shook his head, feeling that this idea was a bit outrageous.
The relationship between Xiao Jiu and Qin Shuo does not need a Xiao Yuanxi to consolidate at all.
"Third sister-in-law, I was wrong." Xiao Yuanxi was afraid that Xia Ruan would be angry, so he hurriedly apologized, "I will return the things to the fourth prince." β
Xia Ruan gathered his mind and asked Xiao Yuanxi, "Has anyone seen this painting?" β
Xiao Yuanxi shook his head: "No, you know just me, the fourth prince, and the third sister-in-law." β
"Since it's something that the fourth prince gave you, you can put it away." Xia Ruan handed the scroll to Xiao Yuanxi, "Don't take it out again, do you know?" β
Xiao Yuanxi was a little confused, but still nodded.
After Xiao Yuanxi left, Xia Ruan asked Du Ruo why the emperor of the previous dynasty liked the wild goose map.
Du Ruo's ancestor was the imperial hospital envoy of the former dynasty, and Du Ruo knew many things, but she didn't know.
For example, when Xiao Jiu gave her a camellia, she didn't know the meaning.
Du Ruo thought for a while before saying to Xia Ruan, "I heard my father say that it was ...... It is said that Emperor Huiguang of the previous dynasty liked the wild goose picture, because the queen of Emperor Huiguang once sent a picture of the wild goose to Emperor Huiguang, and later the queen of Emperor Huiguang died, and Emperor Huiguang did not set up a queen. He would like the wild goose picture, perhaps because the person who sent the painting was the queen. β
Xia Ruan listened, she couldn't hold the tea cup in her hand anymore, and there was a little panic in her eyes. (To be continued......)
