Chapter 104 Shioduki and the new leader
"Judging by his clothes, he should be an extraordinary person in the Fusakura clan. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" Gao Tao turned to look at the man's back, "It's just ......"
I think I know what he's not talking about is just what he's trying to say.
I also couldn't figure it out, and there was a faint uneasiness in my heart, since I was sure that I had never seen him, then he sneered at the "Xiyue". He must also know Shioduke......
I really don't know if I should cry or laugh if I look like her.
"Let's go." I say.
Back in the courtyard where we were temporarily staying, Shen Yu had already returned, and when he heard our voices, he came out of the room, "Where have you been?" ā
"I went to visit Sui Que." I said, "You've brought all our stuff with you?" ā
Shen Yu nodded, looked past me, then looked at Gaotao, and then came back to his senses and said, "When I went out, I heard people outside spreading that it was Cang Shu and Sui Que's daughter Xiyue who had returned to Sui Que's mansion. ā
"What?!" I'm a little ridiculous, "how could it be ......"
Cang Shu and Sui Que's daughter Xiyue...... It's certainly not hard to think of referring to Gaotao and me. But how did this news ...... "It's Mrs. Ziliang." ā
I've got it.
Shen Jian and Gao Tao looked at me at the same time.
"It's Mrs. Ziliang!" I've figured it out, so I'm sure," she told the people in the courtyard to spread the word out in order to distract the others. This matter can only be done by her, because first Taiji Yunjin was sent back for a felony, and now even Sui Que is seriously ill, and this Sui Que family looks like it is about to end. At this time, if she is a woman who has to take on the responsibility of the whole family, it is really heavy, and it is inevitable that there will be other pressures to persuade her to give up. When Sui Que was seriously ill, let Sui Que step down from the position of leader, but if Sui Que's daughter came back at this time...... Lord Gaotao, I don't know much about the relationship between the succession of the leaders of these clans, can Xiyue inherit the position of the leader of Sui Que? ā
Gao Tao looked left and right and led us into his room. "According to common sense, the position of this leader should be a person recognized by the clan, who has both ability and integrity, and can be appointed by the previous leader to inherit it. I haven't heard of it from father to daughter, but I'm worried that Mrs. Ziliang's move has another purpose. ā
Out of worry, Shen Ji observed my reaction and asked, "What purpose?" ā
"Although I have never heard of father and daughter, if Sui Que is terminally ill at this time, he is unconscious. Then, as the only bloodline of Sui Que, he can act as his father's temporary leader, until the old man in the clan chooses a suitable person, and Sui Que's daughter can hand over her father's position as the leader to the new leader, but in this case, Xiyue will marry the new leader and justify the name. However, if Sui Que's daughter does not agree with the candidate chosen by the old man in the clan, then this person will not be able to inherit the position of Sui Que's leader, of course, if the other party is strong, he can also be directly forced to agree. Gao Tao told everything he knew, and it was true, so it was no wonder that he reacted so strangely at the time.
"Does it have to be Shioduke?" If I want to delay the situation, I'm afraid that in the eyes of Mrs. Ziliang, as Xiyue, I may be pushed out to marry a new leader......
"It stands to reason that Xiyue is not the legitimate daughter of Sui Que and his wife, so she is naturally a little shorter in terms of identity. However, Sui Que has no other children, and his only sister Taiji Yunjin, the only bloodline in their family besides Sui Que, has already married her brother and was sent back to the Fu Ying clan as a sinner, so Taiji Yunjin naturally lost this qualification. "Gaotao must know more about the relationship between these so-called inheritances than we do.
I listened quietly to what they had to say, and concluded, "So, Sui Que is seriously ill, and Taiji Yunjin is a sinner, so even if Xiyue, who is not rightly named, comes back, there will be no obstacles?!" ā
This Sui Que has no other children, so the plot setting of "House Fight" is basically not valid.
"What about Cangshu?" After Shen Ji asked, his instinctive reaction was to look at me.
Gao Tao was aware of Shen Ji's tone, followed his gaze and glanced at me, and then explained, "Brother is a talented son of the Gao Yang clan and the husband of Taiji Yunjin. Now Taiji Yunjin has been sent back to the Fuying clan in the name of a sinner, but the elder brother has not divorced his wife, Taiji Yunjin is still the nominal wife of the elder brother, if there is no Xiyue to temporarily take care of the matter of the leader of the Fuying clan for Sui Que now, and Sui Que is safe and sound, then in order to maintain the marriage between the Fuying clan and the Gaoyang clan, after Taiji Yunjin is repatriated, Xiyue, the daughter of Sui Que of the Fuying clan, may be married to the brother as a concubine. ā
Because Taiji Yunjin is still Cangshu's wife, Sui Que's humble daughter can only be used as a concubine......
I have some sympathy for Xiyue, if she really likes Cang Shu so much.
"However, now that Sui Que is sick, Xiyue is the only bloodline of Sui Que, the leader of the Fuying clan, so naturally he can't marry outside. However, in this case, a new leader is chosen among the Fuzakura clan, and Shizuki can marry as a wife. "In Gaotao's opinion, this is the best ending for Xiyue." I think that if Mrs. Ziliang spreads the news of Cangshu, then ......"
She hoped that through the news that Cang Shu sent Xiyue back, Xiyue's cheap status would be a little more affordable in the clan. But this is also indescribable, the relationship between Xiyue and Cangshu, I'm afraid everyone knows what happened between Xiyue and Cangshu, so since Cangshu appeared with Xiyue, Xiyue's innocence is naturally lost in the oral tradition of the clan, even if it is really as you said, Xiyue marrying the new leader will definitely not think that he has picked up a treasure, but will be disgusted with the second-hand goods that he has to marry. And Mrs. Ziliang, as the wife of the former leader and the nominal mother of the new leader's wife, is naturally highly respected, and she can still preserve her position and Sui Que's honor, but she ruined Xiyue.
After I finished speaking, I felt dizzy in front of my eyes inexplicably, and I couldn't help but reach out and rub my aching temples.
And the person I had just met outside Mrs. Ziliang's courtyard, his expression jumped into my mind at that time......
I'm good at solving cases, but I'm really not good at playing politics like this.
"Huo Xi, what now? Do you want to keep looking? Shen Ji asked this, which means that he is ready to quit.
"Check." After much deliberation, I made up my mind, "But we have to speed up our movements, so let's divide the soldiers into three ways to investigate." Lord Gaotao, since you are from the Gao Yang clan, is there a way for Shen Yu to go to the Gao Yang clan to check on the situation of several victims in Tai Ji Yunjin's case before? ā
Gao Tao hesitated for a moment and replied, "Yes." ā
"Shen Ji, then you go and check the situation of the victim when Taiji Yunjin was in the Gaoyang clan before. Lord Gaotao, I have to trouble you to go to Gaoxin's land, and maybe you can run into Mingyun, but I can rest assured that you can do this thing......" I said, taking out the token that Emperor Yu gave me before, "I have to trouble you to ask Emperor Yu to tell me the previous prescription, so that I can try to hold off Sui Que, so that he won't be so quick to breathe, and help me buy time to find out the truth." I stayed to find out the cause of the epidemic and then try to see if I could make Taiji Yunjin come to his senses and get a testimony. ā
"Huo Xi, it's just that we're all gone, so ...... you" Shen Yi was not at ease.
"I shouldn't be fine, it's useful for Mrs. Ziliang to keep me." This is the only way to find out the truth under her nose.
"Okay." Gao Tao took the token from my hand, and after reading the words on it, he was stunned.
ā¦ā¦
"Doctor, how is Taiji Yunjin?" I stood aside and couldn't help, so I could only ask.
This time I came to visit Yunjin, I specially borrowed a doctor from Mrs. Ziliang. But Yun Jin was not very cooperative, she was very resistant to others approaching her, which finally convinced her, and the doctor could only do a cursory examination.
Only, he shook his head, "This...... I really don't know what Tai Ji's illness is. ā
Even the doctor couldn't see why she was like this.
I should have thought that there was no reliable doctor here. "Forget it, I'll think of another way."
After saying that, I can only send the doctor out first.
As if he was afraid that I would run away at any time, Yun Jin followed me to the door and pulled me away. After sending the doctor away, I took her back to the room and sighed helplessly, "Madam, why did you become like this?" ā
"Shioduke." Yun Jin ran to the side of the cabinet, but took out a small bag from under the cabinet, and then beckoned me to come over. She carefully unfolded the package, and inside was a clay doll, pinched very delicately, and her facial features were very clear.
She handed me the doll.
I also asked, "Is it for me?" ā
Yun Jin nodded.
I took the doll and looked closely, and it seemed to look a little like me, but it didn't look like it. "Is this Shioduke?"
Yun Jin smiled and nodded again. "It's Shioduke."
"Did Madame do it?" I asked.
Yun Jin smiled very happily, "I made it for Xiyue." ā
This mud doll is really made by Yunjin for Xiyue, and it can probably be seen that the face shape of the mud doll, the outline of the ears, and the nose are all somewhat similar to me, but this hairstyle is ...... And this garment......
I was observing the clay doll unconsciously, when Yun Jin leaned over, stroked my head gently and lovingly, and said softly, "You are Xiyue." ā
I smiled helplessly, but she still regarded me as Xiyue.
Judging from the difference in her attitude towards other people and towards me, you can intuitively feel the difference, and it is not difficult to notice that she really cares about Xiyue, and the only thing she trusts is Xiyue, maybe for her, Xiyue is more like the only relative? Aunt and niece of the same age......
I remembered Shen Shijing's treatment of Shen Zaiyang, and looked at Yunjin in front of me, and my heart warmed.
"Madam, if you need my help, you can tell me, although I don't know how I can help you, I will definitely help you." Whether it is emotion or reason, I can't judge that this gentle and kind woman in front of me would use witchcraft to harm so many people.
Unless she has a second personality, I don't feel the slightest threat in those eyes that are as clear as water.
Who the hell is framing her?
She smiled and captivated, and I could tell from her eyes that she wouldn't ask me for anything, but she nodded deliberately as if to reassure me.
She seemed to understand what I was saying, but she deliberately didn't tell me anything.
What the hell is going on?
Why does she seem so much more normal when she's alone?
More and more, I wanted to figure out what was going on around the time of her accident. (To be continued.) )
