Shameless! This is simply a change of law to make Yun Ting's death more painful! Wang Shaoyan clenched his fists, looking at Zheng Lian's dignified appearance, he couldn't wait to punch him. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Uncle Lao Guo was even more proud. He didn't pay much attention to this Zheng Jian at first, and the reason why he was promoted was entirely because Wang Shangshu didn't look down on him, and promoted the people he didn't like in the spirit of watching Wang Shangshu's jokes. I didn't expect this guy to be a good talker, and he was vicious enough, he really knew the times.

People are admonishing the emperor, but the emperor does not speak, even if he is dissatisfied in his heart, he can only wait. Therefore, Wang Shangshu did not directly open his mouth to refute, but bowed to the emperor sitting on it. Now that you have made the choice to join the emperor, you naturally have to put on a proper posture, and sometimes an appropriate show of weakness can win the trust of those in high positions.

The emperor coughed his throat and stared at Zheng Jian for a long time, "You get up first." After Zheng Jian got up, he said, "You also know that Xi Yunting is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Wang family." Don't say that the father and son of the Wang family are now important ministers of my court, even the concubines of ordinary families are afraid that they can't stand such humiliation, right? ”

"Your Majesty Mingjian, the minister is by no means deliberately embarrassed by anyone, it is really General Sun Lao is a veteran of our dynasty, with outstanding military achievements, and the commanders who went out to the battlefield this time are all young generals who have just entered the battlefield, and it is not an exaggeration to say that these young people are mentors. This time the army triumphed, but General Sun was killed by thieves, how could these young and vigorous young generals give up? It's not that they will be disrespectful to the emperor, but it is inevitable that they will be cold, and among these people, there are many rare talents in my Great Xia to protect the country and defend the territory, whether the two kings care about Xi Yunting's face or for their own face, they should not be put before the word loyalty. The minister's suggestion may have been a bit harder, but it was the only way to do both. not only saved Xi Yunting's life, but also rounded His Majesty's love and friendship with the two kings, and calmed the resentment of the orphans and returning soldiers of the Sun family. Although Xi Yunting has to endure some hardships, can't she even endure some hardships if she wants to save his life with such a brother who collaborates with the enemy and treason? is still the daughter-in-law of the Wang family, so she is really so remarkable! Zheng Jian seems to be loyal and patriotic, but in fact, he is targeting the Wang family everywhere, he just wants Wang Shangshu to know that the person you suppressed at the beginning can make you double the reward now when you get the opportunity. Since you dislike my narrow-mindedness, I will show you what true retribution is.

The emperor felt that it would be a bit counterproductive to help the Wang family speak again, so it was better to follow their wishes and retreat as advance. So the emperor pretended to nod his head, "Just do as you say." It's just that I still say that, Xi Yunting is the daughter-in-law of the Wang family in the end, and it is really inappropriate to show her head in public. The black veil must be allowed to cover his face, and no one must touch the black veil that he will cover, otherwise he will be beheaded! After the emperor finished speaking, he saw what Zheng Jian was going to say, and then said, "This matter is over, and there is no need to discuss it again." The secretary can have other things to report, and if there is nothing to do, he will retreat. After speaking, he was about to get up and retreat from the court, and the courtiers hurriedly sent him off.

Before leaving, the emperor glanced at Wang Shangshu meaningfully. I've given you a chance, and you have to take advantage of it. Cover your face with a black veil, and no one is allowed to check it, just find someone with good body and bones to replace Xi Yunting, no one dares to risk being beheaded just to find the bad luck of your Wang family.

Wang Shangshu cast a grateful look, and understood the emperor's intentions.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, the father and son of the Wang family returned to the house, went to Xiangyuan together to worship the ancestors, thanked the ancestors for their blessing and allowed Yun Ting to save her life, and went to Ningju together to ask the old lady for peace, and then went to Luju together.

But as soon as I entered the door, I was almost knocked down by the little guy who ran out in a hurry. Seeing that he had bumped into his master, the little guy quickly knelt down and begged for mercy, asking him what had happened, but the answer was dodging.

The two fathers and sons couldn't help but speed up their steps and entered the open house.

There was no one in the main courtyard, but the backyard was very noisy, and there was still someone crying.

The father and son of the Wang family went straight to the backyard, only to find that almost all the people were gathered at the door of Mama Wu's room. The maids all stretched their necks and probed inside, the back desperately squeezed to the front, and the front pressed hard to the front. But among these people, they didn't see Xi Cui, and Qi's mother didn't have Yun Ting.

"What are you looking at? Is there anything to do? Wang Shangshu stood in the courtyard and shouted, and everyone turned around, and everyone knelt down in gratitude.

The father and son of the Wang family ignored them, walked to the door and kicked away a few people who stopped at their feet, and only then did they see the situation in the room.

Yun Ting lay on the head of Mama Wu's bed and hugged Mama Wu's headache and cried, and Mama Qi was busy comforting her. Xi Cui obviously stood aside but didn't do anything, his eyes were wooden, as if he was frightened, more like he was full of anger, in short, this was the first time Wang Shaoyan saw Xi Cui let Yun Ting lose his temper like that, but he didn't care about it.

"What's going on?" Wang Shangshu strode into the house, but saw Xi Cui trembling like an electric shock, and glanced back at their father and son, and instantly her empty eyes were filled with overwhelming resentment, she was glaring at them!

Wang Shaoyan looked at Xi Cui's eyes at this moment, and suddenly remembered the wolves they encountered that night, and what Xi Cui was staring at them in front of them was the eyes projected by the wild wolves at that moment, as if they were about to tear them apart, and their anger was about to burst out at any time. Did she know about the court and thought that they were really going to send Yun Ting out to be humiliated? No, they didn't tell anyone about the affairs of the court, how could she know.

But what could make her hate them so much?

Wang Shangshu obviously also noticed the malice on Xi Cui's body. He hadn't seen Xi Cui many times, and the clearest impression was the first time she sent Aunt Yang back to Begonia Garden. At that time, he only knew that Xi Cui was a maid personally selected by the Liu family, thinking that she was a member of the Liu family, and suspected her of her intentions for Aunt Yang and the child in her womb, so he was very angry with her. At that time, she stood in front of her and cowered, very inconspicuous. During this time, I have been hearing people talking about Xi Cui, but I didn't care too much, just because she was the confidant arranged by Mrs. Huai'an Hou to take care of Yun Ting and Yun Ting's dowry, but she didn't want this girl to be full of bearing that could not be ignored after such a short time. Even he couldn't help but want to take a few steps back, unwilling to get close to her at this moment.

But she is still a descendant of the Wang family, Wang Shangshu can still control her, how can she be so presumptuous in front of her master?

"Xi Cui, what's going on?" Wang Shangshu asked Xi Cui by name, and watched Xi Cui turn around.

Xi Cui gritted her teeth to prevent herself from crying, and lowered her head, "Back to my lord, Mama Wu went this morning...... "If it weren't for my young lady, I would still be counting on your Wang family, I would like to publicize everything and let your Wang family be completely destroyed!" Wang Li, do you think that by killing Mama Wu, you can keep that secret and let your Wang family rest easy? This time, your Wang family had better treat my young lady well, otherwise......

Early in the morning, Zhao Fazi came to Luju to report that Qing'er was decocting medicine for Mama Wu in the big kitchen last night, and there was no work left in the big kitchen at that time, so Zhao Fazi didn't care and asked his subordinates to go back early to rest, leaving only one on duty. This person is used to raising dogs on weekdays, and always likes to take advantage of the fact that no one is on his duty to secretly heat up the leftover steamed buns that he usually picks up for the dog to eat on the stove where he cooks for the next people. It's rare that last night there was a little porridge left over from the previous days, and people couldn't eat it, so he thought about throwing it away, but unfortunately it was hot for the dog to eat. When the soup was hot, Qing'er had already left, so he picked up the soup spoon that Qing'er had put aside and scooped a spoonful of soup for the youngest dog. Early the next morning, he found that the puppy was dead, and he saw at a glance that the dog was poisoned and died, so he told the steward Zhao Fazi what happened last night. As soon as Zhao Fazi heard that something was wrong, he came directly to Luju to see Mama Wu.

I didn't expect Mama Wu to be really dead.

When they hurried to look for Qing'er in the lower room, they found that Qing'er had disappeared a long time ago, and even her things had been cleaned up. Qing'er is an old lady's person, others don't know it, but Xi Cui is clear, Mama Wu treats Qing'er well on weekdays, Qing'er has no reason to kill Mama Wu, unless her master wants her to do it. And the reason why the old lady wants Mama Wu to die is even more needless to guess, Huai'an Houfu is gone, and the only person who knows the secret is Mama Wu except her, she doesn't believe that Mama Wu will always help her keep the secret, and she is not willing to let the Wang family take this risk, only when Mama Wu dies can the secret be completely buried.

Wang Li, how can you? How kind is Huai'an Hou to your Wang family? I don't want you to reciprocate, but you can't take revenge, right?

She never dared to imagine that an old woman over seventy years old could still have such a ruthless heart after decades of practicing in the Buddhist temple?

She wanted to loudly accuse the Wang family father and son, all the reasons for which the Wang Li family did this were for them! But she can't do this, she has no evidence, Qing'er is an old lady's person, there is no evidence. Why did the old lady kill Mama Wu, the reason can't be said. So she can only knock out her teeth and swallow her blood, and she can only endure it if she can't bear it. Who let Yun Ting's life be pinned on the Wang family?

So in order not to arouse their suspicions, Xi Cui could only pretend to be overly sad.

How could Mama Wu die? Wang Shaoyan didn't understand, yesterday he also found a doctor to show Mama Wu in person, obviously there was nothing wrong, how could he suddenly die?

Wang Shangshu stepped forward to look at Mama Wu's body, and at a glance, he saw that Mama Wu had died of poisoning. So he waved his hand at Wang Shaoyan and motioned for him to come and have a look.

Wang Shaoyan walked over, pulled Yun Ting up, and saw Mama Wu's blue and purple lips at a glance, "This ......"

Wang Shangshu pointed at Yun Ting and motioned him not to say it yet.

Wang Shaoyan really shut up and asked Qi's mother to take Yun Ting back, leaving Xi Cui. He had a hunch that Xi Cui must know the truth, but if she said it or not, it was not something he could control. Wang Shaoyan once again found that he had a deep sense of powerlessness in front of Xi Cui, obviously he was the master, but he couldn't treat her as an ordinary subordinate, on the contrary, he couldn't help but do what she wanted many times.

Mother Qi dismissed everyone when she went out, and soon the entire backyard was left with the Wang family's father and son and Xi Cui, and of course, Duan San who was hiding in the shadows. Because Wang Shaoyan knew Duan San, he knew that Duan San had always been there, and Wang Shangshu himself would naturally feel Duan San's breathing. Wang Shangshu had heard of such a number one person in Luju, but he had always thought that this person was his son's person, and he didn't know that Duan San was actually protecting Xi Cui.

"Mama Wu was poisoned to death." Wang Shaoyan guessed that Xi Cui must have known about this, but he could only think of starting with this sentence. He wondered what Xi Cui would say next.

"This Xi Cui knows, Mother Qi has said it." Xi Cui straightened the quilt on Mama Wu's body and covered it, "I asked, Mama Wu didn't eat anything last night, just drank the medicine prescribed by the doctor yesterday." She glanced at Wang Shaoyan, you found the doctor, right? Sure enough, seeing Wang Shaoyan's expression panicked, it seemed that he really didn't know what was going on. If he knew the truth, he would definitely not be nervous because of this matter, and this result made Xi Cui feel somewhat comforted, "But the doctor prescribed a total of three medicines yesterday, and the other two have been checked and fine, so this matter has nothing to do with the doctor." So I asked who was decocting the medicine last night, and someone told me it was Qing'er. But when we went to look for Qing'er, we found that Qing'er had long since disappeared, and even the things were clean, which showed that she had absconded in fear of crime. So this incident must have been done by that Qing'er, but I really can't figure out why Qing'er wanted to harm Mama Wu. They have no grievances in the past...... they have no hatred in the near future"

"Who is this Qing'er? A maid in the open house? Why didn't you send someone out to look for it? Wang Shangshu is really getting more and more disappointed in his back house, does he really want him to deal with those court people outside and worry about the back house on fire at the same time? If this continues, how can his royal family still prosper? I thought that the backyard would be cleaner without Liu's backyard, but what was the result? The brothers and sisters of the Liu family hollowed out the Wang family, not to mention, Aunt Yu couldn't take care of things at all, Wang Shaomei had been closed since Shaoju entered the palace, and no one was seen, the old lady was not easy to get better, and one person died and one was missing...... If such a thing spreads, he Wang Zihuan's face will no longer be able to ask for it. As soon as I thought of letting my daughter-in-law kneel and knock three times to others next, I was immediately furious, and I couldn't fight at all, and I felt that my whole body was full of fire! "Send someone out for me! Who got this girl in the first place, check! Find the person who sold her into the house in the first place! Everyone in the house who has spoken to her has called me for questioning! Really, no one cares about my Wang's backyard, right? ”

Xi Cui bowed his head. didn't leave to go out, but looked at Mama Wu, "Let's bury Mama Wu first...... The old man is most concerned about the Hou Mansion, the slave wants to find someone to cremate the body of Mama Wu, and then bury it with more than 100 people from the Hou Mansion. ”

"This ......" Wang Shangshu was moved with hatred when he heard this, but after all, the Hou Mansion was carrying the crime of treason, because the fire had occurred for so long, and the government also sent people to check the scene, but only put the charred corpses together to facilitate the counting of the number of people, and so far those corpses are still placed in the courtyard of the Hou Mansion with broken bricks, and they are not buried at all. Even he didn't dare to collect the corpses for them, but he wanted to bury Mama Wu with them at the scene, did he plan to collect the corpses?

"Why, isn't that okay? The lord is the same as the people outside, thinking that Huai'an Hou is a chaotic minister and thief, and he should be unable to die in the whole house? The sadness in Xi Cui's eyes infected the father and son of the Wang family, but they really had no choice. Even if you want to collect the body of Huai'an Hou, you can't do it at this time, at least until General Sun Lao is buried and the emperor rewards the three armies. And it has to be done quietly, so that no one can know about it.

His thoughts couldn't be hidden from Xi Cui, who was accompanied by Xiao Yu. But seeing Xi Cui sneering and shaking her head, she didn't say anything, she knew that she should understand the embarrassment of the Wang family's father and son, but in her selfish heart, she was very ashamed of their behavior, she thought that if she changed her position, the Hou Ye who was standing here now, maybe all this would not happen at all, that is, the lady and the female generation were better than their Wang family's righteousness and Bo Yuntian's pride!

So Xi Cui didn't want to linger any longer, and turned around and left Mama Wu's room.

According to Wang Shangshu's order, the Wang family was panicked for a while, and everyone was afraid of being implicated in Qing'er's matter, so they were busy clearing up their relationship with Qing'er, and this matter soon reached the ears of the old lady.

For this reason, the old lady personally went to Wang Shangshu and asked him to stop. Of course Wang Shangshu didn't agree, he wanted to take advantage of this matter to tidy up his backyard. In desperation, the old lady had no choice but to tell the truth that it was she who found Qing'er to kill Mama Wu, because Mama Wu knew a secret related to the life and death of the Wang family. The old lady didn't say any secrets, but when she saw the clear expression on Wang Shangshu's face, she knew that Wang Shangshu knew about it. Since this is much easier, so Wang Shangshu should know the priorities. So she left without saying anything more, and Wang Shangshu quickly figured it out, stopped investigating the matter, and stopped looking for Qing'er.

Wang Shaoyan said that he couldn't move his father, thinking that Xi Cui would definitely be angry because of this, but he didn't want Xi Cui to just say quietly after hearing it, "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if Qing'er is looking for it or not." Could it be that if someone beats us with a stick, can we still find that stick to take revenge? ”

Yun Ting was also there when she said this, Yun Ting didn't understand but didn't ask, since Mama Wu died, Xi Cui hadn't laughed for two days.

Wang Shangshu came to Luju to find Wang Shaoyan to discuss finding someone to kneel on the street instead of Yun Ting, and just heard Xi Cui say this. His feet that had originally stepped up the steps were unconsciously retracted, this little girl's words seemed rough, but the deep meaning in them was touching. Even he couldn't find her true intention from this sentence, did he already know the truth so he didn't want to delve into it or couldn't push people too hard, keep the stick and continue to grope for the hand holding the stick? (To be continued.) )
