Chapter 46: Trade-offs

"Who else is involved besides you and her?" Ah Xiu was still not at ease, and asked Sun Fu again.

"Mishu once delivered the news, but the slave doesn't know that there is anyone else, as for who is poisoned, Niangniang has to ask the side concubine Niangniang to know."

Ah Xiu sighed: "That's it, tonight you go to the back firewood room with Su Xin for the night, tomorrow I will order someone to send her to confront you, once this matter is clear, I will allow you to go home and say goodbye to your family to deal with the aftermath." ”

Sun Fu kowtowed to thank him, Su Xin pressed him down, and Ah Xiu ordered Ying'er to summon the people under the porch outside into the hall.

After everyone was ready, Ah Xiu said loudly: "Today's events, don't talk to anyone, don't discuss privately, if there is a leak, you will be beaten to death with a stick." ”

Everyone shrugged their shoulders and shrunk their necks and didn't dare to make a mistake, Ah Xiu repeatedly admonished and dismissed everyone. Back in his room, Ah Xiu looked at the lights on the table for a long time and didn't say a word. Ying'er said tentatively: "Madam, it's time for dinner." ”

Ah Xiu came back to his senses slightly, and responded lightly, still staring at the lamp without moving. Ying'er pretended to tell the little girl to pass the dishes, and gave Yan'er and Bichen a look.

The two of them came out willingly, and Ying'er said in a low voice: "The princess is unsettled now, Sister Suxin hasn't returned yet, I'll go to pass the dishes, and by the way, ask Mrs. Lian to come over to share the worries of Mrs., you two will light the sprinkled orchid incense, prepare the fruit, and then cook some tea." ”

Yan'er and Bi Jin agreed, Ying'er went to invite Lian'er, Shaoqing Su Xin came back to ask, Bi Xin quietly answered, and Su Xin nodded and said no more.

Lian'er was going to have dinner, but when she saw Ying'er coming over at this time, she seemed to have something to say, so she put down the bowl and stepped back, and asked Ying'er: "What did my sister send you for?" Ying'er roughly replied, Lian'er frowned and said: "Sister must not know how to deal with it, it is difficult for a good boy to do her best for you, I will go back with you." ”

After that, he only brought Xiao Si to see Ah Xiu, and when he entered the door, he saw Su Xin preparing dishes at the table, and Ah Xiu was still sitting in a daze.

Lian'er forced a smile and said: "My sister hasn't eaten here yet, and it just so happens that I haven't eaten either, so let's eat all the way with my sister!" ”

Ah Xiu heard that it was Lian'er, and finally came back to her senses: "My sister is here?" It was dinner time for me to be distracted, and since my sister didn't eat, she naturally ate with me all the way. ”

Lian'er pulled Ah Xiu to sit down to eat, and seeing that Ah Xiu's appetite was not good and the food was very slow, she sighed: "No matter how much my sister cares, the rice always has to be delicious, what will it look like if it is reduced year after year?" ”

Ah Xiu smiled when he heard this: "I don't have anything on my mind, but I don't have a good appetite." Lian'er snorted: "In the past, I never saw me, but if Ying'er hadn't invited me today, I wouldn't have known that my sister would have something to say to me." ”

Ah Xiu was stunned for a moment, and smiled embarrassedly: "In this case, I am according to you, let's talk about it after eating, I will hide it from anyone in the house, how can I hide it from you." ”

After speaking, Ah Xiu finally ate two bowls of rice under Lian'er's gaze, and Lian'er spared her.

After withdrawing the meal, the two of them did a few sides of the kang, Bi Zhen and Yan'er served the prepared tea and fruits, and retreated to the outside, Ying'er called Xiao Si to go to the back to talk, leaving only Su Xin to serve inside.

Seeing that they had gone down, Ah Xiu told Lian'er about Sun Fu one by one, and finally asked, "Is it my woman's kindness?" That's why so many incidents have been caused and these people have been killed. ”

Lian'er shook her head: "My sister is kind by nature, thinking about calming things down, and thinking that she can't bear to be harsh when she gives birth to several princes, it is my sister's kindness." As for Huilan, it is she herself who is getting narrower and narrower step by step, and she has nothing to do with her sister. ”

Ah Xiu shook his head and said: "Now I have no choice: if it is dealt with according to law, Hui Lan should be killed, and the side concubine must be executed, and it must be told to the prince, this matter must not be hidden, not to mention that the third son is young, and he knows the reason for the death of his biological mother in the future, how can it be good?" Besides, if you can't hide it from the prince, you will only be afraid of more people, but if this matter is concealed and only Sun Fu is treated, what will happen to Huilan's rebirth in the future? ”

Lian'er shook her head: "Rat-throwing taboo, my sister is only afraid that what I care about the most is Biao'er, although the prince favors Huilan, but after all, it is an old thing, not to mention that Huilan is jealous and has offended her sister many times, and the prince has already faded her." Biao'er has been raised under her sister's knees all these years, and this time she passed the news for her sister, I'm afraid my sister is most worried that Biao'er knows the reason and is difficult to deal with, right? ”

Ah Xiu nodded: "Biao'er is benevolent, if there is no such thing, even if he knows that I am not his biological mother in the future, he will definitely not be separated from me, but if he really disposes of Huilan, Biao'er will know in the future, with his clear and tolerant and generous temperament, he will not hate me deeply, but he will be divided after all!" ”

Lian'er couldn't bear to shake her head: "Biao'er has been as lenient and strict as her sister since she was a child, if she knew the reason, she would rather suffer than complain about her sister, but it is precisely because of this that my sister has moved the unbearable that she shouldn't have." ”

"And what will happen to you?" Ah Xiu asked Lian'er, "Now I really have no clue, and my heart is like numbness." ”

Lian'er pondered for a long time, and finally came up with a method: "It's better to press it first!" After the New Year, Qiu Qin was very well, and sent someone to quietly reveal the news to Qiu Qin, asking her to beg the prince herself, my sister didn't know what to do, how about it? ”

Ah Xiu picked up the tea and drank it carefully, thought about it again and again, and finally said: "I'm afraid that's the only way, but if you want to ask Huilan tomorrow, how to deal with Sun Fu, it's still nerve-wracking!" ”

Lian'er picked up a piece of dim sum: "The dim sum is excellent, but it is inevitable that it will not be good if it is pinched tightly, and my sister is one step at a time." Tomorrow, the prophet will meet Sun Fu, give him silver to settle down, and let him confess before leaving, so that he will not be afraid that he will run away in the future. ”

Ah Xiu made up her mind: "Just follow what my sister said!" Thinking about it, that's all there is to it, the son is young, and it is not appropriate to lose his mother after all, and it will be easy to be criticized in the future. ”

Lian'er explained softly: "It's okay, my sister didn't come out, Biao'er was raised under her sister's knees since she was a child, like a son-in-law, and the prince will ascend the throne as the emperor in the coming day. ”

Ah Xiu nodded: "The prince of the country has always been the foundation of the country, virtue is more important than other talents, Biao'er is only ten years old, he already has the style of a prince, and he has a very good reputation among the hundred officials. ”

"My sister is painstakingly lonely, just to find a virtuous monarch for the world, the prince fights the world, naturally needs to kill and decide, must be resolute and resolute, cold and severe, but guarding the country needs to be as tolerant and easy-going as a standard. Fang is the way to help the world and the people. Lian'er was convinced, and sighed for a while.

Ah Xiu nodded: "What my sister said is what I think, the world has been chaotic for many years, once the world is safe, it is natural to focus on people's livelihood and well-being, so Biao'er is all my hope." (To be continued.) )
