Chapter 164: A dilemma
Fang Xiaoyu read it seriously.
The content recorded on this cowhide was not too responsible, but it confirmed several key points in Fang Xiaoyu's original speculation.
"Lately, I have been feeling drowsy and worried. Many worries are buried in my heart, and I don't know who to mention them, so I have to write down and hide them one by one, and if one day my life is in danger, I will not bury the truth in the dark and not see the light of day. ”
This is a short passage from the beginning of the cowhide, from which it can be inferred that Jian An at that time already felt that his body was a little sick, and perhaps he was mentally prepared in his heart.
She knew some of the truth, but she didn't debunk it at the beginning, maybe because she hesitated in her heart, or maybe there was some reason why she couldn't debunk the truth, in short, she concealed it for a while, and she was responsible for the secret alone.
However, she was afraid that one day she would really be killed, and the secret would be buried deep in the ground and no one would know it again, so she used some special techniques to record the truth on the cowhide, and then hid it in the outer wall of the Wanghua Tower, presumably she should have left some clues, but it has never been discovered.
Fang Xiaoyu continued to read.
The story didn't quite differ from her previous guesses.
One day, she suddenly learned a news that made her feel like a bolt from the blue, that she was not born to her parents, but a child stolen from elsewhere by her parents.
At first, she was surprised and didn't want to believe it, thinking that the other party had deliberately told her a lie, but she had already planted doubts in her heart, and she was worried when she remembered what the man had said.
So she began to investigate secretly, and finally found out that Zhou Xiang's daughter was lost, and that year, her parents happened to be in the capital, and she was pregnant with Liujia about to give birth, and when she left, she had already fallen to the ground, and then rushed back to the northwest in the dust.
The scar on the arm of unknown origin, such a coincidental point in time. And the attitude of her parents towards her is what makes her most suspicious.
All along, her parents were not enthusiastic about her. Since she was a child, she was like a free-range pigeon, and she was almost never taken personally. She heard from her subordinates that she had not been born for long. She has always been brought up by her wet nurse, and her parents rarely take care of her personally, even if he is a woman who always goes out to show her face, and even loves to dance knives and guns, and insists on killing enemies on the battlefield, her parents almost never ask.
It was only before she was old enough to ask a female master to teach etiquette that her mother personally approached her and instilled in her a lot of strange thoughts. It's just that she didn't think much about it at the time and ignored it.
Later, her father handed over the military power, and their family moved to the capital, when she began to be required to learn the complicated and redundant etiquette of various family women, she only thought that the arrogant spirit she raised in the northwest would make her parents unable to raise their heads among colleagues, so she carefully followed the master to learn, meticulous, and was trained to be all kinds of women who did not belong to ordinary families, which was as her parents meant.
At that time, the parents adopted an adopted daughter. When I was a child, we played together in the Northwest, but we didn't live in the house, so it seems that there is another place to go.
By the time she was a little older, she had hardly seen her foster daughter again.
Later, when she came to the capital, she suddenly appeared again, and the two sisters met, but they only chatted a few words, but did not talk deeply.
It didn't take long for her parents to mention to her that the emperor wanted to marry her. The other party is the emperor's brother, a real royal noble, the prince of Dacheng, and instructed her. After getting married, you must divide your share in peace, and you must no longer be as free and uninhibited as you were in the northwest.
Since she came to the capital, she has been mentally prepared that her marriage may not be her turn to make decisions, or even her parents' turn. The more the emperor likes her on weekdays, the more her situation stands on the cusp.
But marrying King An was not what she wanted. But compared to the worst plan to enter the palace before, it was ten times better, so she comforted herself that there was no room for any more picks in this matter.
What's more, Wang An is also a long-standing talent, handsome and extraordinary, aside from his royal status, in fact, it is not a grievance against her.
She had naturally heard the rumors between King An and that Zhou Ling, but after all, it was just rumors, and she didn't care too much. Before really marrying King An, she also specially asked that if he missed Zhou Ling, she could go to the emperor to repent of her marriage, and there was no need to wronged herself. But King An didn't say anything, he looked cold, and he didn't want to say anything more to her, so the matter was settled.
Until after marrying into King An's mansion, it was simply the beginning of a nightmare. On the night of the newlywed cave room, she was tortured by Prince An in every way, even if she was wronged, no matter how she asked the other party, she refused to give her an answer, but always treated her in the most rude way with a cold and disgusted tone.
Not long after, Li Suqing was carried into the house, at that time she was pregnant with a child, although life was not satisfactory, but for the sake of the child, she was still strong to face the calamity and humiliation that may be encountered every day. One is that in today's society, women have a low status, marrying chickens and dogs, even if they marry a bastard, few people really go and leave. Most of them are able to make do with it, and they don't want to go extraordinary.
Second, after all, she is the wife of King An, and her children will be the son of King An in the future, and they can inherit the throne of King An. If she and King An reconcile and leave, she can't take the child away, she must stay in King An's mansion, and once King An marries again, her child's status is embarrassing, not to mention, if she meets a vicious person, I am afraid that she will have to worry about her life.
The mother is strong. For the sake of her own children, even a weak woman can become the strongest in the world.
However, when she found out that the woman who had already 'made a private life' with King An was Li Suqing, her mood was extremely complicated and painful. Because this Li Suqing is none other than her sister, the adopted daughter of her parents.
She knew that she was engaged to King An, but she didn't say anything, but went to silently hook up with her brother-in-law. She said that she and King An had already made a private agreement for life, but when the emperor gave her marriage, she could smile on her face and pretend that nothing had happened, wishing her and King An to grow old together.
Even if she said at the time that she and King An had long had an affair, she could have given up a qiē, and even went to the emperor to give a qiē.
When she married King An, there was no love between King An and King An, so even if she lost it, she didn't feel a pity, if her sister liked it, she would position King An as the person she wanted, and she didn't want to be caught in it and make everyone unhappy.
But no one ever mentioned it to her. Whether it was King An or her good sister, no one had ever mentioned this matter to her, and she was carried into King An's mansion in a daze. was hated by King An in a daze, and had to accept that his sister was going to be the one who robbed her husband.
When she was about to give birth with a big belly, she had to accept her sister's provocation from time to time. Outsiders don't know the relationship between the two, but she is jealous and can't tolerate others. Obviously, she passively accepts provocations every time, but in the end, things will always turn out to be her fault.
That Li Suqing is not as docile as she was at home before, gentle and lovely on the surface, her expression is soft and weak, she is aggrieved and aggrieved, and she looks weak and pitiful. Anyone who sees it feels like a submissive concubine, who has been bullied by her mother, but no one has seen Li Suqing's arrogant and proud face when facing her.
After being angry with Li Suqing that day, she had a fetal gas and almost lost her life. But no one knew that this qiē was all calculated by Li Suqing early in the morning.
She deliberately used words to provoke her, which made her angry, and then made a move during the delivery, almost killing both her mother and child.
But she was blessed with a great life. Not only did she give birth to a child safely, but her body also slowly recovered, and since then, she has begun to be tough, just for the sake of her child in the future in the house must not be bullied.
In the process of reading, Fang Xiaoyu's brows couldn't be stretched. She knew that Princess An was not doing well in King An's mansion, and these Ye Xici did not hide it from her, and many things Ye Xici had personally experienced, which were more detailed and true than what was said on the kraft.
She also knew that Princess An's death was inseparable from Li Suqing. But at first, she just thought that the other party was an ordinary stupid woman who would do anything for the sake of status and men, but she was lucky enough to kill her opponent. So I enjoyed the taste of the clouds and rain in the house.,Gradually began to become arrogant.。
But later she suspected that Princess An's death was related to Zhou Guifei, so she began to suspect Li Suqing's motive for carrying this black cauldron.
However, she never thought about it. Li Suqing turned out to be Jian An's sister, the mysterious adopted daughter adopted by Jian Zhengyan and his wife.
She had found someone to check, and Jian Zhengyan and his wife had indeed adopted an adopted daughter, but not many people had seen it. At the beginning, Ye Xici mentioned to her that after collecting the bodies of Jian Zhengyan and his wife, he found someone in front of the tomb to pay respects, so he suspected that it was the adopted daughter who had never shown up. So it seems that the reason why it is not paved. It's because I'm afraid that Ye Xici will know her identity.
Prince An's main concubine and side concubine are actually sisters. The younger sister robbed her sister's husband, but the older sister was used by her husband as an obstacle to break him and his sister. This good show in the royal family, if it is caught by the opponent, it is not possible to tell how many shocking stories can be made.
Fang Xiaoyu continued to watch, because of Jian An's toughness, Li Suqing was at ease for a while. Gradually, however, new troubles began to come.
This trouble comes from Zhou Guifei.
Jian An and Zhou Guifei didn't like each other, and even she couldn't find a specific reason for herself.
Zhou Guifei felt uncomfortable when she saw Jian An for the first time, and Jian An was the same. It's just that the crown prince had already ascended the throne at that time, and the other party was already the imperial concubine, and the matter was involved with the emperor, so Jian An couldn't make things too stiff.
Until Zhou Guifei asked Ye Xici to enter the palace as Ye Shucheng's companion, Jian An's toughness shocked everyone.
Only Jian An himself knew that Zhou Guifei was not at ease. If Ye Xici enters the palace and something happens at will, she will not have time to rescue at all.
Even if Zhou Guifei secretly killed her son, would the emperor execute his concubines and sons for her son afterwards?
Even if the emperor loves Ye Xici no matter how much he loves him, in his heart, Ye Xici is far less important than his own son. It's human nature. Even if Jian An is replaced, even if the emperor's son is all dead, what does it have to do with her? As long as her son is growing up happily and peacefully, this is the comfort of her only wish as a mother.
And it was because of Jian An's toughness that Zhou Guifei felt that her majesty had been provoked, so she made Jian An even more embarrassed, and even once said that Jian An was just a wild species, not the child of Jian Zhengyan and his wife at all, and when this matter was mentioned, Zhou Guifei's face was hideous, as if she had some kind of hatred for Jian An.
It was there that the beginning of the truth of the matter was briefly touched.
She didn't believe it, but Zhou Guifei swore that these words often lingered in her mind. She would think about it repeatedly, as if Zhou Guifei was lying in her ear and kept repeating, which made her feel uneasy.
She went to investigate the matter with the idea that she must expose Zhou Guifei's lies. At that time, Zhou Guifei only said that Jian An was not the biological daughter of Jian Zhengyan and his wife, and did not mention anything about the bag drop.
Unexpectedly, the more things are investigated, the more complicated they become, once all the suspicions are connected into a main line that can form a story, the truth of a qiē is only separated by a thin veil, and it will be broken when it is poked.
She found out that Zhou Xiang lost his daughter in the year she was born, and she found out that Zhou Xiang lost her daughter in the year her parents happened to be in the capital, and they happened to give birth to a child in the capital.
Jian An and Fang Xiaoyu had the same thoughts, and they both felt that Jian Zhengyan let his wife have a big belly, obviously she was about to give birth, but the reason why she had to travel from the northwest to the capital to attend a banquet of the emperor was too untenable.
What's more, the fact that Jian Anfei is the biological daughter of Jian Zhengyan and his wife is from the mouth of Zhou Guifei. Even what she doesn't know, how can Zhou Guifei know? And Zhou Guifei is Zhou Xiang's long-lost daughter who has returned, is this qiē really just a coincidence?
Zhou Xiang's lost daughter, the strange behavior of Jian Zhengyan and his wife, two children with different identities, the birthmark and wound on the arm against the shoulder, the strange attitude of her parents towards her since she was a child, the truth that Zhou Guifei inexplicably knew and the almost hateful gaze on her......
and the unexplained closeness when he first met Zhou Xiang......
One qiē and one qiē are like sharp knives, cutting through the layers of fog in front of you, and penetrating into the deepest ugliness that has nowhere to hide.
The more Jian An investigated, the more frightened she felt.
If everything she guessed was true, then why did her parents steal her for no reason? And why did Zhou Guifei become Zhou Xiang's concubine by impostor?
It's not just fun to be fun. There has to be a reason to do it.
She checked. His parents and Zhou Xiang don't have any overt grudges, and they don't even have much contact? So what would be the rationale for dropping the two children?
What was the reason why Jian Zhengyan and his wife came to the capital from the northwest at such a risk in order to steal Zhou Xiang's child and then rush back?
And why did Zhou Guifei recognize Zhou Xiang as the eldest lady of the Zhou Mansion many years later?
Jian An had a hunch that things were not as simple as they seemed. She wanted to continue to investigate, but she was extremely reluctant to investigate. For a moment, she was in a dilemma. (To be continued.) )
