Chapter 33: A thorough investigation
The heaviness that has never been attached to her heart, in the previous life, she belonged to the state of one person to feed the whole family and not be hungry, and now, the weight on her head is not only Cui's mother, but also more Yuefeng. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Theoretically speaking, Cui's mother is like her relative, and it is right for her to take on everything in the future, and the more windy it is...... Shen Wen felt slightly guilty and helpless, and finally could only sigh. If it weren't for the fact that they met him, they would have been replaced by other guards in King Mu's mansion, they would have given him a knife directly after finding out that she was not meticulous, and asked her to hurry back to the underworld, if it weren't for King Mu's fancy Yue Feng, they wouldn't have given her a chance to speak, by mistake, she was devoted to King Mu, and now, Yue Feng was judged to be a 'traitor' because of her, and she lost a good future from now on, how much more blame Shen Wenwei for herself?
Following her, even food and clothing have become a problem, so what's the point?
Because she has been in the film and television entertainment industry for so many years, sometimes, thinking about problems will seem very realistic, who is beneficial to herself, and what she can help others, just like some mutual things. Therefore, Yue Feng helped her to a certain extent, and Shen Wenwei would consider how to 'repay the favor', instead of tying people's good prospects to her trouser belt.
Looking at each other speechlessly, Shen Wenwei sat on the kang with the quilt in his arms, letting the wave of repentance drown it, and on the side, Yue Feng sat cross-legged like an old monk, closing his eyes in the corner.
Too many things happened on the day of rebirth, and after a while, Shen Wenwei fell down with the quilt in her arms, in a daze, she didn't forget to think about the situation about Yue Feng, since King Mu valued him, he shouldn't let him go casually, and he gave her three months to do something undefined, would it mean that he would spy on her?
After all, what exactly is King Mu going to let her do?
And her, what is it about her that deserves him to break the rules?
After thinking about it for a long time, Shen Wenwei felt that it must not be simple.
Getting sleepy, she gradually fell asleep.
She didn't know, when her breathing stabilized, Yue Feng in the corner suddenly opened his eyes, got up, and approached the earthen kang, he gently moved Shen Wenwei, who was curled up in a ball, a little in, cautiously, wanted to pull out the quilt in her hand but found that it seemed to be unrealizable, and was about to find another quilt, Shen Wenwei automatically adjusted her posture and put herself in.
The windier it is, the more reassuring it is.
"Hey, I said." In front of the door, there was a dark shadow, and Thirteen shook out, leaning against the door wall, holding his hands on his chest.
Yue Feng was expressionless, pushed him and pulled the door shut.
"Yue Feng, you won't really follow this corpse girl, will you?" Thirteen followed him, unconsciously pressing his hot face against the cold ass, and continued. "Rules are dead, people are alive, I'll go and talk to the prince, he will understand-"
"Thirteen." Squatting in front of the vegetable field, he picked up a weed, put it in his mouth, and looked at him. "I'm different from them, since I was ten years old, I don't belong to the prince, I only belong to myself."
"What are you going to do?!" The eggplant beaten by frost went down, and he pursed his lips and pointed to the earthen house.
"The prince said, keep it secret." Thinking of the teasing in front of the thirteenth, Yue Feng made it bad for the first time, and said coldly with a root of grass in his mouth.
…………
Yesterday was a lot of tossing, Shen Wen opened her eyes slightly, the sky was bright, and as soon as she woke up, her stomach rumbled, and she guessed that it was probably past noon.
Sitting up and fetching water, a simple wash, suddenly remembered the marks on her neck, reluctantly boiled water to make a hot compress, and by the way, steamed the cold steamed buns that she stole last night.
"Fortunately, I'm not here, I'm embarrassed to ask someone to share a hard steamed bun with me, it's too embarrassing." Shen Wen opened his mouth slightly and took a bite, rough and tasteless, not to mention life, Mr. Save it.
It's hard to swallow, and she can only think of something to distract her from eating steamed buns.
To clear her mind for now, she needs to solve two problems.
First of all, Cui's mother was sent away, and she wanted to find a way to cover up the truth.
Secondly, she has to find out the person who harmed her as soon as possible and make a decision, for herself and for the requirements of Prince Mu. She also heard a rough idea in the coffin the night before, her death, the direct cause was Jia Nan, the real murderer should be one of her good sisters in Shen Qianli, she remembered that Miss Shen and her two maids came, but she didn't hear what she said, maybe, she could start from there.
"Eat this." The toes touched the courtyard wall, and landed outside the earthen house like a breeze, only to see Shen Wenwei holding a steamed bun with an expressionless face.
"You're here." When she came back to her senses, she smiled at him, too lazy to politely excuse herself, she immediately put the steamed bun back into the broken pottery bowl and took the wooden food box.
Lifting the lid of the box, Shen Wenwei felt that she had never been moved to tears because she was about to eat a hot lunch, the snow-white rice was still steaming, and down, a plate of emerald green stir-fried vegetables, a plate of braised pork head, if she opened her mouth, Harazi would leave straight to the yellow earth, there was no need to doubt!
"You...... Have you eaten? Before taking out her chopsticks, she stared intently at the food while asking about Yue Feng.
"Eat it, eat it while it's hot." Seeing her expression, Yue Feng's right side of his mouth rose without a trace, and he sat beside her.
Shen Wenwei ignored the 'good' on the side of her mouth, picked up the rice bowl and started the meal, while eating, she made a decision in her heart, she must repay this hero well, no matter whether he and his prince have conspiracy or not, Yue Feng's intercession yesterday and today's bowl of rice, she Shen Wenwei will always remember.
It's not an exaggeration, sometimes, it's really immersive to experience that taste.
Shen Wenwei's meal was full of mixed tastes.
"Well, I want to ask you." After eating, she packed her things. "In this situation now, if Cui's mother doesn't come back, it will look very strange......"
If she had not received treatment, the chances of Cui's mother surviving were very small, and if she had received treatment, it would have been obviously impossible, so in terms of the current situation, Cui's mother had only one way to go - death.
"Is there any way to let her fake her death?" Speaking of her thoughts, she asked.
"It's good to die." Glancing at her, Yue Feng got up.
Before Shen Wenwei could figure out what he meant, two quarters of an hour later, Yue Feng answered and solved her question with practical actions, and a burlap bag containing objects was thrown on the ground.
"What is this?" Looking at the shape of the sack, she had guessed seven, seven, eight, eight.
"You go back to the house, I'll come." As he spoke, Yue Feng unbuttoned his pockets.
"You put her here, I'll go get some firewood." Taking a deep breath, Shen Wenwei turned around and looked at the humble kitchen, and continued.
She understands how a living person can be exactly the same even if he dies, and what is the difference between a dead person being burned to ashes?
The movements of the hands did not stop, the side face, looking at her back, Yue Feng was not surprised, a twelve-year-old girl was already able to face these things calmly, although her stiff back revealed her slight nervousness, he felt that she was already very brave, her back was straight, and her steps were steady.
…………
Upper house yard, main house.
Someone whispered to Mrs. Qian's mother beside Mrs. Shen about what was happening, and a puff of green smoke mixed with a strange smell rose from the corner of the backyard.
"What? How can there be smoke? Because Mrs. Shen was taking a nap, Mother Qian lowered her voice and asked.
"No, I don't know."
"Bastard, I don't know how to send someone to take a look?"
"Mother's words back to the money, the door, locked."
"Two stunned, open it when it's locked, let me hurry up and take a look, if something happens to the moth, be careful about your skin!" Looking deeper into the house, Mother Qian reached out and poked her mother-in-law's forehead and said angrily.
After a while, the mother-in-law came back, and her steps were not very steady.
"Say!" Mother Qian waited at the door, holding a stove in her hand.
"Mother Qian...... Four, four misses...... Cui Pozi her, she ...... She gave ...... "Swallow and spit out, and the mother-in-law was so frightened that she couldn't speak."
"Straighten my tongue for me, or I'll do it for you?!" Seeing this, Mother Qian felt bad, but as soon as she spoke, she saw a maid scoop up the curtain and said that Mrs. Shen woke up and let them in.
Entering the house, Qian's mother spoke roughly and stood aside.
"Say it." Cocking her fingers and lifting the delicate porcelain cover, she took a sip of the tea cup in her hand, and without listening to a word, Old Madam Shen stared, her hand stopped in the air and couldn't help but tremble.
"The four girls burned Cui's mother?!"
…………
…………
"Give it to me, call her!" Again, Old Madam Shen smashed the porcelain cup in her hand, breathing heavily.
Generally speaking, if a servant is killed, he will be pulled out and thrown to a mass grave outside the city, but no one will directly set people on fire in the house, not to mention the bad luck, it will also affect the fortune of the house, and the old lady Shen was so angry when she heard the news that her chest hurt!
"Wait, go to Yongxi Taoist Temple to see if Daochang Zhang has come back? I'm back, hurry up and invite me back! "There are not many people in Chengguo who believe in Taoism, but since that incident happened seven years ago, Old Madam Shen has paid special attention to these things.
For example, the ancients paid attention to the safety of entering the earth, even if the final destination of those slaves was in the mass grave, they would not return to dust and return to the earth, but if a fire burned, they would think that the resentment of the deceased would hover in the cremation place for a long time, and naturally bring disasters and disasters to the inside.
"No, call her for me!" Seeing that the girl hurriedly stepped out of the door, after thinking about it, Old Madam Shen shouted.
Cui's mother died when she died, and when she turned around, she asked the little Taoist priest of Xiyong Taoist Temple to do a ritual, and it should be eight or nine and ten. In front of me, let's see how the four girls reincarnated by the fox spirit come back to life! Old Madam Shen always felt that there was a problem, and she couldn't catch the tail of the problem, her heart was in a mess, Feng Minhui's careful thoughts, she didn't have time to pay attention to it, if it was really a fox spirit, she had to be appeased immediately.
Rubbing her hands, Old Madam Shen still asked people to call Shen Wenwei first.
…………
Stepping into the courtyard of the upper room, Shen Wenwei, who was bowing his head along the way, couldn't help but peek at it.
The yard is clean and open, there is a big tree planted in the four corners, complex and staggered, every spring, the branches are ready to bloom in spring, there are hand-copying verandahs on both sides, all painted with auspicious and festive meaning of the pattern, all kinds of carved patterns, at a glance, there is a small pavilion on the right, built-in delicate plum blossom stone pier and the same fancy stone table.
Closing her eyes, she continued to walk silently, Old Madam Shen wanted to see her immediately when she heard that she burned Cui's mother, there would definitely be nothing good, she had to be calm.
Thinking of this, Shen Wenwei suddenly remembered that it was wrong, she should be trying to be like the timid and wooden she used to be, but she needed to add a little different change, so that Mrs. Shen and the like would notice that she had indeed returned from the ghost gate.
The maid scooped open a crystal clear bead curtain and let her in, she paused for a moment, and then she cowered and walked in, a little face was so low that it seemed to be buried in the dust, her shoulders shrugged together, and she seemed to tremble, but no one saw her pair of dark and translucent eyes, turned around, and secretly smiled.
With just one glance, Shen Wenwei took a general look at the room.
Entering the door, a red sandalwood side seat inlaid with jade flower throne screen appeared in front of her eyes, its exquisiteness and luxury set the initial tone for the whole room, she stood in the house, the left and right sides of the Nanmu inlaid with a few seats, the upper seat, a comfortable and gorgeous gold silk Nan Fushou pattern wide chair, Mrs. Shen sat on it, her expression was serious, her expression seemed to be arrogant, and next to her, each placed a purple lacquer painted gold landscape pattern begonia incense table, placed a colorful treasure bottle.
house, like its people.
Seeing this, Shen Wenwei was actually puzzled, the layout of this room was a little too gorgeous, just like the nobles in the palace.
"Say hello to Grandmother." In a word, Shen Wenwei spoke extremely slowly, and it took a long time to finish speaking.
"Hmph." Old Madam Shen looked at her like she was about to die, and she only felt that her chest was tight, and there were signs of anger.
No one spoke in the room, and there was not even a little movement, Shen Wenwei was cold for more than a quarter of an hour, and when she was about to count to a thousand and was about to faint and fall to the ground in the first thousand and one, Old Madam Shen opened her mouth.
"Four girls, what's the matter with you, tell your grandmother." After taking a string of Buddhist beads that Mother Qian turned out of nowhere, Mrs. Shen held it tightly in her hand before she said. "Are you trying to scare your grandmother to death when you make such a fuss?! Lift your head up for me! ”
This crime is a big one—unfilial piety.
As if she was too frightened, a thunderbolt fell on Shen Wenwei's already trembling shoulder, as soon as she heard this, she sat directly on the ground with a thud, not forgetting what Old Madam Shen said to let her raise her head, and her eyes looked straight at her.
At first, she was satisfied with her fright, but then, Old Madam Shen saw the things in those eyes clearly, and was shocked, what was in them, deep resentment, hatred, and disdain? And uninhibited?
Wrong!
Blinked, fixed her eyes and looked again, she saw that Shen Wen was so thin that there were two lines of tears flowing on his thin face, all that was wrapped in his eyes was just grievances, she wanted to bury her head but didn't dare, she could only look at her stupidly, seeing this, Old Madam Shen secretly sighed, and suddenly lost interest, the four girls are not still the four girls, they cheated the corpse yesterday, maybe they are not dead!
Everything, it must be that Feng Minhui wanted to get rid of Shen Wenwei, lied, and involved her.
Bastard thing!
Old Madam Shen was about to wave her hand to let her step back, but at this time, Shen Wenwei talked about her day trip to the Netherworld, and when she pressed the start button, she didn't plan to close it.
"Grandmother...... Woo, don't you know it's too scary, it's terrifying to frighten Wen Wei, it's terrible there! If you don't mention it, Wen Wei won't dare to think about it at all, and he will take my life when he recalls it. ”
"That'...... Then, then you should go back and rest-" It feels bad, although Old Madam Shen is a little curious, she still asked her to hurry back, and the Buddha beads in her hand are held more tightly.
"Grandmother, Wen Wei is lucky to have met you there, I'm—" Looking at her, Shen Wenwei looked grateful. (To be continued.) )
