"I found a drop of blood in the garden of my mother's yard, and traces of the dirt that had been turned up, and when I dug it up, there was a knife and a short sword, and the body of a cat." Ye Shilan's voice was low, as if she was a terminally ill patient, and continued: "These things are almost the same as what you speculated. ”

"So you're even more suspicious of him?" Fang Xiaoyu didn't seem surprised.

"The only person who can freely enter and leave my mother's yard without being guarded by my mother is me. I haven't done it, and the evidence left at the scene points to him everywhere......" Ye Shilan only felt as uncomfortable as a needle prick. That's her own brother, who has been doting on her since she was a child, and is filial and respectful to her mother, but now when she hears that he may be the murderer of her mother, how can she be calm?

She's pathetic enough to go to the enemy to find answers now, isn't she?

"Nope. You said that you can freely enter and leave your mother's yard without being guarded against Ye Xiqian, but you seem to have missed another person. Fang Xiao's smile made Ye Shilan's heart skip a beat.

"Who?" Ye Shilan didn't think for a while that anyone else had this ability to prevent her mother from being guarded. Whether it is Ye Xi's words and smiles or Su Hongxi, they are enemies to be eliminated by their mothers, and it is impossible not to be on guard.

"And my father. Father has been almost exclusively favored by your mother for many years, with such a deep affection, how can your mother be wary of your father? Fang Xiaoyu blocked the corners of her mouth with a teacup. She is now spreading the second suspect naked in front of Ye Shilan, asking her to choose the most suspicious one among the two. This will undoubtedly aggravate her impression of her choice, making it easier to follow the path she has chosen for her.

"Father? Don't you think your father is going to kill your mother? Ye Shilan's face was incredulous. She suddenly realized. Indeed, if the father goes, the mother will probably not be guarded. And she has never put her suspicions on her father, obviously her father has recently spoiled Su Hongsu's fox pet so badly that he almost forgot about his mother. If he went to find his mother, he was angered by his mother's stubbornness, so he was angry......

The more Ye Shilan thought about it, the more frightened she became. Although Fang Xiaoyu proposed another candidate who might clear her brother's suspicions, that candidate was her father.

One side is the elder brother. One side is her biological father, no matter which of the two is the murderer who hurt her mother, this is what she doesn't want to see.

All those who were close to them have become demons. The face that had been gentle turned hideous. Ye Shilan suddenly felt a sense of loneliness of being isolated, as if those originally happy mirrors and flowers were shattered in an instant under the ugliness of reality, revealing Sensen's white bones, which were dripping with bright red but rotten flesh and blood. Fishy. Vicious. And she has nowhere to run.

"What reason does my father have to hurt my mother?" Ye Shilan asked Fang Xiaoyu, and she was also asking herself.

Fang Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Then what reason does Ye Xiqian have to hurt his biological mother?" ”

Ye Shilan said.

"One is your biological father and the other is your brother. If the two of them must suspect one or the other, which is the murderer in your heart who is most likely to hurt your mother? Fang Xiaoyu threw a multiple-choice question to Ye Shilan without warning, and Ye Shilan was suddenly in a dilemma.

Fang Xiaoyu didn't seem to be in a hurry to ask her to give an answer, but continued: "Actually, you can put everything on me and Xici. It doesn't matter whose hand he is. It doesn't matter what he did for it, you just think it's what we did. Just as the murderer hoped, to become a deaf man, a blind man, unable to see anything, unable to hear anything. You continue to be someone else's good daughter, be someone else's good sister, and your mother is dead or alive, you can leave it to fate. If she wakes up one day, everything may be revealed, or maybe she will cover up the murderer and accuse indiscriminately, it doesn't matter, anyway, you won't lose a hair or a piece of meat, and continue to be the eldest lady of your Anwangfu, wouldn't it be worry-free and effort-saving? ”

"Could it be that my mother's wounds were borne in vain? Do you want the murderer who hurt his mother to get away with it? Ye Shilan suddenly slapped the table excitedly.

"What can you do if you know the truth? Just as you suspect, the murderer of your mother may be your own father or your beloved brother, and no matter which outcome it is, there is no way back for you. How does knowing the truth benefit you? What can you do other than make you scratch your heart? Could it be that you can still kill the murderer and avenge your mother? Fang Xiaoyu said sarcastically, but when he said the word 'kill', he deliberately used some internal force, which was almost equivalent to leaving some kind of hint in Ye Shilan's heart.

Ye Shilan was silent.

She was really thinking seriously, if it was really her brother or father who did everything, how would she make this dilemma?

That's not how it should be. Originally, in this Anwang Mansion, only Ye Xici should be an outsider. Mother and father loved each other, and she and her brother were pampered and raised from a young age.

Maybe out of the gate of King An's Mansion, they will inevitably have to bear something else after all, she also resents the existence of Ye Xici because of the obstacle of her identity, and has cursed him countless times that it is better to die, but at least in King An's Mansion, she is the eldest lady, and she is the person who is loved by everyone in the palm of her hand.

She never imagined that one day, such a perfect family would fall apart. Didn't think that the person you liked would hurt the person you liked.

Whether it was her brother or her father who hurt her mother, it had become an indelible scar for her, which would remain in all her future lives as regret and hatred.

"Ye Shilan, you are spoiled by being held in the palm of your hand, so you always think that no matter what, as long as you don't understand something, someone will definitely send you an answer." Fang Xiaoyu said with some contempt: "But you don't know, this world is big, far bigger than the wellhead you see. You think that being held in the palm of your hand is love, but in fact it may just be used. ”

"No matter what choice you make between your brother and your father, the conclusion will not change. What should have happened has happened. It's a fact that your mother is seriously injured and can't wake up, and even if you struggle with what you don't have, you still can't change anything. It may also put yourself at risk. Fang Xiaoyu spread out the bloody facts in front of her, and hit her with a straight blow without concealing it at all.

"Are you worried about me?" Ye Shilan was stunned.

"Worried about you?" Fang Xiaoyu seemed to be amused by Ye Shilan's words, and said, "I just don't like to be used and framed." Even if you don't pursue the truth, I will pursue it to the end. I don't care about your mother's life or death, but I won't be framed again and again as a target at will. So even if you don't do anything, I'll do it all for you. You just have to wait patiently for the results. You don't have to spend a single soldier to see me deal with the murderer, what's wrong with that? ”

said. Fang Xiaoyu sneered again: "Ye Shilan, you have been ruined, I'm afraid it's not easy to marry a good family." But that's not a bad thing, at least it will get you out of this game. No more being a pawn to be used by others. Everything your mother did. Even at the expense of hurting herself, it was all for me to see, she wanted to use her life in exchange for me to save you and Ye Xiqian from the cage arranged by Zhou Guifei. She doesn't want you and Ye Xiqian to live an involuntary puppet life like her, and wants to leave a way back for your brothers and sisters. She knew that I hated her, and I would not let her go for the sake of the West, so she made an exchange with me for her life. Change your road ahead. It's a pity that she hasn't done anything yet. But he was taken first. And the person who started it is likely to be the person she is dedicated to protecting. ”

"Ye Shilan, what is the truth of this matter, you can let it go. Since I promised your mother, I will naturally let you live, although her serious injury and coma are not caused by the agreement, but at least she has this thought, and I also think of her motherly heart, and I have no deep hatred with you, so I say this to you. If you are wise, you might as well think about how to marry yourself, why bother to wade into this troubled water? ”

Fang Xiaoyu said it as if it were true. In fact, she did suspect that Li Suqing would do this, judging from the words Ye Xici heard outside the ancestral hall, Li Suqing had long wanted to break away from Zhou Guifei's control. And she suspected that the wound on Li Suqing's right abdomen might have been caused by herself, but she had just stabbed it a little before she was bumped into by the real murderer. This can also explain why there is no maid in Li Suqing's yard, if Li Suqing dismisses them herself, it will make sense. It would also explain why she had two wounds on her body, and even why the sword wound had such a strange injury.

However, everything was just her guess, and from beginning to end, Li Suqing never had the opportunity to tell her such an agreement as exchanging her life for her life. But Fang Xiaoyu said as if she had already made an agreement with Li Suqing.

Anyway, there is no proof of death, Li Suqing is still in a coma, and the people who know about this matter are probably no one else except Li Suqing, with red mouth and white teeth, is she not fooling?

"What do you say? You said that mother, she ......" Ye Shilan was shocked. She didn't think there was such a secret in this. She was a little skeptical of the truth of Fang Xiao's words at first, but she felt that the meaning of her deception was and believed it.

The reason why she believes it is because she has heard her mother sigh that she is a puppet and can't help herself. If it weren't for a mistake, maybe everything would have been different.

She didn't care what it meant. But listening to what Fang Xiaoyu said, this sentence immediately popped up in her mind, as well as her mother's expression when she said this sentence at that time.

If everything is true, could it be that the person who started it was actually Zhou Guifei?

But if Zhou Guifei wants to start, she will definitely not do it herself. If she senses that her mother is betraying, she may let the people in the house wait for an opportunity to get rid of her.

And Zhou Guifei left the biggest chess piece in King An's mansion......

It's my brother......

Ye Shilan's heart is like ashes.

"Instead of dwelling on what you can't do, Ye Shilan, it's better to think about what man will not care about your appearance being ruined, and let you marry and live a good life for a few days." There was some sarcasm in Fang Xiaoyu's tone.

Ye Shilan suddenly became angry.

Originally, she was worried about the destruction of her appearance, but because of her mother's accident, she didn't have time to care about this, in order to seek the truth, she came to ask Fang Xiaoyu to give her an answer in a low voice.

However, this smile repeatedly mentioned the destruction of her appearance, and each time it was mentioned, the sarcasm in her expression became more and more obvious.

Ye Shilan was angry, slapped the table, pointed at Fang Xiaoyu's nose and scolded: "Fang Xiaoyu, you are enough!" The reason why my face has been ruined is not because of you! You are angry for Ye Xi, I have become the laughing stock of the world's spurning and ridicule as I wished, you should be satisfied? ”

Fang Xiaoyu was stunned, and said helplessly: "Your appearance was ruined because of me?" Ye Shilan, I know that your good looks will no longer be there, and I must be sad in my heart. But you don't have to blame me for everything. I hate you for not being fake, and even promised to quit the West, after marrying into the palace, I will definitely be angry with him, and I will never make your life better, but your appearance was injured and your leg was broken in front of everyone's eyes, how can I do it? ”

"You don't shirk! At that time, I suddenly felt a pain in my leg, someone must have done something to make me ugly in public, so that I no longer have a good face, you were there at the time, who are you not you? Ye Shilan was angry.

"I was there at the time, but I was in the restaurant opposite, and from such a distance, how could I make you fall?" Fang Xiaoyu looked dazed. Of course, this is pretended.

"Your martial arts are so strong, I'm afraid it's not difficult to do this." Ye Shilan snorted coldly.

"Even if I could. But do you know why I was in that restaurant at that time? Fang Xiaoyu asked instead.

"How would I know!" Ye Shilan's face turned a little bluer, but she guessed in her heart that she was deliberately following her and wanted to make her ugly in front of others.

Fang Xiaoyu smiled bitterly: "There was another person who was with me at that time. ”

"One more?" The first thing Ye Shilan thought of was Ye Xici.

"Do you know who it is?" Fang asked with a smile.

A trace of resentment flashed in Ye Shilan's eyes, but she didn't speak.

"It's Zhou Xiang." Fang Xiaoyu did not continue to sell Guanzi, but said Zhou Xiang generously.

"Zhou Xiang?" Ye Shilan was stunned, she never thought it was this answer.

Zhou Xiang is the maternal grandfather of the second prince, why is he with Fang Xiaoyu?

Fang Xiaoyu didn't let her think about it for too long, but said: "I was intercepted by Zhou Xiang that day. He heard Ye Shucheng say that I beat Ye Shucheng on the street with a sack, so he was ready to intercept me to avenge his grandson. ”

Ye Shilan's eyes widened, the first time she heard about it.

"I happened to meet you at the time, so I just stood at the window and looked at you a few times." Fang Xiaoyu continued: "Zhou Xiang is Ye Shucheng's grandfather, naturally it should be towards you, if you don't believe it, you can't help but think of asking Zhou Xiang." In front of Zhou Xiang, how can I make a plot against you? Are you really blind when Zhou Xiang? Will he turn a deaf ear to me hurting people in front of him? ”

Ye Shilan was a little stunned. She felt that Fang Xiaoyu would not make such a joke with her. Zhou Xiang should be her enemy after all, she will never speak to her, she wants to find someone to testify, and she should find someone of her own.

"However, they clearly said that they saw it with their own eyes...... it was you who did it," Ye Shilan's heart was confused.

"Did they see it with their own eyes? Who said that? The corners of Fang Xiaoyu's mouth lifted imperceptibly, and then resumed his questioning tone.

"My brother clearly said that he ...... with his own eyes Brother? Ye Shilan was shocked as she spoke, realizing that these words seemed to be told to her by her brother, and she didn't remember or see anything because she was injured at the time...... (To be continued.) )
