21, the truth (one more)
The man in black lowered his head and listened to the prime minister's words, and then asked in a low voice, "What should the fifth master Bai do?" He is a smart man, and he was forced by the sword and pen officials like this, but I am afraid that he knows too much. It's not a small ......," the man in black made a throat-slitting motion. The prime minister shook his head and said, "Don't be in a hurry at this time." If you do too much, not only the head of the palace will be suspicious, but also others. ”
The prime minister turned around, waved his hand at the man in black, and said, "You can stand aside for the time being." I have my own arrangements for this. The man in black nodded and saluted, disappeared from the study, and returned to the prison the same way he came. Since that day, Bai Wuye's life in the prison seems to have been much more comfortable than before. However, as the time approached, the days of asking for beheading after autumn also passed day by day.
Shopkeeper Li inquired many times but to no avail, so he had to write down all the recent events in a letter and send it to Sheng Xuejian. So when Sheng Xue saw that he received the news from Li's shopkeeper, he was angry.
Mama Qian came in with ginseng chicken soup and comforted: "Miss, Madam asked the slave maid to bring you soup, and Miss should also pay attention to her body when she is tired." Sheng Xuejian threw away the letter in his hand, and Mint took the ginseng chicken soup in Mama Qian's hand and put it on Sheng Xuejian's table. Just as he was about to speak, he heard the clanging sound of the door, and the vase on the high platform on the side of the door shattered.
"What's going on?" Everyone looked towards the door, only to see the aunt rushing in in a panic, and one of her steps fell unsteadily on the edge of the door, knocking over the vase. Sheng Xue saw Aunt Ci's appearance and knew that something terrible must have happened, so she ordered: "You all go out, Lily go and help Aunt Ci up." ”
Everyone bowed their heads and exited the room, and Lily helped her to sit down on the edge of the chair, and then followed her out of the room. Sheng Xue saw that she was waiting for Aunt Ci's breath to be smooth, so she asked, "What happened?" ”
Aunt Ci came back to her senses at this time, when Wu Yuan left, Aunt Ci had only one thought in her mind, that is, to quickly tell Sheng Xue to see, but when she arrived at the plum garden, Aunt Ci gradually calmed down, this is the old lady's biggest secret, and the old lady is as kind to herself as a mountain, is it really for those money to sell the old lady?
This secret is not an ordinary secret, it is a secret that will kill the old lady! Sheng Xue saw that she was observing Aunt Ci's expression, and still guessed a few points, Aunt Ci was hesitant, which means that Aunt Ci must have seen something or heard some shocking secret!
"What's wrong with you, you look frightened." Sheng Xue saw that as soon as the child's voice came out, it was smart and natural, like a kind of comfort, which calmed Aunt Ci's mood a little more, and Aunt Ci looked at Sheng Xuejian's eyes and was very embarrassed. If she wants to return all the money that Sheng Xue saw for her before, Aunt Ci will never be able to do it.
But what should she do if she betrayed the old lady like this, and her conscience couldn't get over it? Sheng Xue saw the expression of the aunt faintly, so she said, "I know that the old lady of the Wu family went to find the old lady today, right?" ”
Aunt Ci opened her mouth, and Sheng Xue saw that she interrupted: "Sister Ci, the reason why I spent so much effort to ask you for help is not to catch the old lady's handle, but just to be able to live smoothly in this Sheng family, and not to be caught by the old lady's shortcomings, so you might as well say it directly." ”
The aunt was silent again. Sheng Xue saw that she had already guessed that Aunt Ci regarded the old lady as a benefactor, and the old lady treated Aunt Ci well on weekdays, since Aunt Ci was unwilling to say, it meant that Aunt Ci had discovered a big secret, and this secret was likely to kill the old lady, and Aunt Ci was jealous that she would harm the old lady, so Aunt Ci hesitated.
Therefore, Sheng Xue saw that she wanted to show a weak look, the purpose was to tell Aunt Ci that she had no intention of hurting the old lady at all. However, Aunt Ci is the eldest girl in front of the old lady, and it is not something that can be easily dismissed in three or two sentences, so Sheng Xuejian still needs to add some more chips.
"I listened to people's chatter, and I heard that Sister Ci fell in love with a small house in the sky, and I think it is quite suitable for Sister Ci." Tianfangli is a manor of the Sheng family, which is now managed by a shopkeeper who is almost thirty. The old lady had already had the idea of marrying Aunt Tzu to him.
Aunt Ci herself knows about this, she has seen the shopkeeper a few times, and she also intends to marry this Zhuangzi. Sheng Xue saw that he did what he liked and made conditions. When Aunt Zi heard this, her eyes straightened: "Fifth Miss, are you serious?" ”
Sheng Xue saw that she nodded, her childish face was full of childishness, but it was a serious expression: "When did I deceive Sister Ci?" Aunt Ci hurriedly shook her head and said, "Fifth Miss has always been a man of her word. The hand under Aunt Ci's sleeve was clenched into a fist, and then slowly released, and then she spoke: "The reason why the old lady has been sticking money to Wu Yuanwai is because Wu Yuanwai holds the old lady's big secret in her hands. The third master is not the old lady's biological flesh and blood! ”
"What did you say!" Rao is Sheng Xue saw that she was ready in her heart, and when she heard Aunt Ci's words, she was so frightened that she got up from the chair. Aunt Ci was not as scared and excited as Fang Cai now, so she told Sheng Xuejian what she had heard before, 1510 words.
Sheng Xue was more shocked the more she listened, and finally realized that it was no wonder that the old lady doted on the third master so much, and snubbed the fourth master so much. It turned out that only the third master was her biological son who was approved. She has never had any friendship with the old lady in her life. If her old lover hadn't died, I'm afraid that the old lady would still be wearing a green hat!
The cold hair stood up, I didn't expect the old lady to be such a person. Aunt Ci continued: "Fifth Miss, I also heard that your rouge shop robbed the Wu family's business, and Wu Yuanwai forced the old lady to snatch the second lady's dowry, saying that it was half a ...... after the fact" Aunt Ci said more and more quietly, because she saw the fifth lady with a lovely and delicate face, and suddenly showed a terrible expression and eyes.
The look in her eyes seemed to be about to be devoured alive, and Aunt Ci suddenly didn't even dare to speak.
"Do you still have to get to this point in the end?" Sheng Xue couldn't help muttering when she saw it. It's just that Aunt Ci didn't hear clearly, she asked a little scared: "Fifth Miss, I've been out for a long time, and it's time to go back." ”
Sheng Xue saw that she nodded, pulled off a piece of jade pendant from her waist and handed it to her aunt: "This jade pendant is given to you as a certificate, as long as it is handed over to the little shopkeeper who pulls the style, he will give you the title deed of the house." Aunt Ci took the jade pendant in surprise, she thought that Miss Fifth was a whim to mention the house, but she didn't expect that Miss Five had already prepared. (To be continued.) )
