Chapter 241: Did the Old Snake Get Out of the Hole?

Based on her understanding of Zhou Shu, he is not the kind of person who sets fire to vent his anger, there must be some special reason.

Zhou Shu closed his eyes and opened them again, the coldness at the bottom of his eyes receded, but he was dyed with deep grief, "On the night of my mother's death, I wrote a letter to my father, quietly put it in the inner study, and sandwiched it in the book that my father liked to read.

Qingmo saw it inadvertently, and he didn't care, because the mother and father used to communicate their love through letters.

She said that from the onset of the illness to the time before her death, although the mother was in pain, she was very quiet and never said a word. At the moment of death, as if he remembered something, he grabbed her hand and said the word 'letter', and then swallowed his breath.

She was grief-stricken and had no time to spare. When her father came back and began to sell people, she suddenly remembered the letter written by her mother before, and sneaked into the inner study in a mess, opened the letter and read it, but she didn't expect it to be a suicide note......"

"Suicide note?!" Jian Ying's eyes widened in astonishment, "Is it possible...... The mother already knew that she would die? ”

Knowing that he would die, he still generously went to die? How is this possible?

No, most likely.

After the old lady passed away, the Qin family, in order to fulfill her filial piety, personally scrubbed and wrapped the old lady, and never used it by the second person. The finger marks on the old lady's neck should have been forged by others after the wrapping was completed.

The person who has the opportunity to do this and can hide it from the Qin family is none other than Yun Ma.

As early as the beginning of the old concubine's marriage into the Zhou family, Yun's mother served by the old lady's side, and won the trust and respect of the old lady. It can be described as highly respected in the palace.

A noble servant like her has served her master with all her heart and soul for most of her life, worshipping her master as a god of heaven and earth, and will never do anything to desecrate her master's body in order to vent her personal anger. There is only one reason why he will forge finger marks and tell such a big lie to frame the Qin family, and that is the old lady's instructions.

I think that the Qin family is just the daughter of a poor teaching craftsman, who has no illustrious family background and can support her as the master, and is kind by nature. I don't like to play with intrigues. There is also a mother-in-law who regards her as an enemy and oppresses her everywhere, if she does not have a smart mind, she only relies on the maintenance of King Ji'an. It is difficult to gain a foothold in the palace.

It is said that the son follows the mother. It can be seen from Zhou Shu. Qin is by no means a vase beauty with an IQ shortage.

I'm afraid that when King Ji'an first questioned her, she figured out the trick.

She knew very well that for King Ji'an. Yun Ma is the doppelganger of the old lady, and what comes out of Yun Ma's mouth, King Ji'an doesn't want to believe it anymore, and he has to believe it. Coupled with the finger marks on the old lady's neck, it was difficult for him not to suspect her.

Once she began to doubt, the filial piety she personally scrubbed and wrapped the old lady in person became an ulterior intention. The rag around the old lady's neck wanted to cover it up even more, becoming ironclad evidence that she covered up her crimes.

There are all human and material evidence, and the more she denies it, the more King Ji'an will feel that she has a deep city and has been hiding adultery for a long time.

After many years of sharing a bed, she knows her husband better than anyone else. This person has a sentimental side, and he also has a suspicious and ruthless side like the old lady. She knows very well how deep the relationship between the old concubine and the mother and son of the Queen of Ji'an is, and the relationship between husband and wife for less than ten years is completely vulnerable in the face of the "revenge of killing her mother".

A woman from a scholarly family is engraved with the innocence of a scholar in her bones. The reason why this marriage was concluded back then was just the sincerity of King Ji'an. Sincerity is no longer, life is better than death.

So she watched her husband hesitate and struggle with those piercing eyes, silently waiting for the moment when he would put the sharp blade of grace and righteousness on his neck.

coincided with the loss of etiquette in Zhou Han and Fang's Lingtang, and the bamboo paper made a mistake. King Ji'an finally decided to completely cut off the source of his pain, so he asked someone to poison the bamboo paper to provoke Xiaohuan's hatred for her, and killed her through Xiaohuan's hand.

Qin's death was both a homicide and a suicide.

This proud woman ended her attachment to that man and the world with her life.

Thinking of the last time she and her mother saw each other, Zhou Shu couldn't help but redden, "That day, her expression was extraordinarily gentle, and her words were much more than in the past, helping me straighten my clothes over and over again, stroking my head and face, no matter how big or small, she repeatedly told me one by one."

In retrospect, she probably knew she was going to die, and she was saying goodbye to me that way. I hated that I didn't even notice it, and was so preoccupied with going out to hunt rabbits that I couldn't even see what she was wearing that day.

The mother concubine was so ruthless that for a man who refused to believe her and wanted to put her to death, she actually left my own son and went to the ...... alone."

When it comes to sadness, my voice is choked and I can't stop crying.

Jian Ying was also sad, put her backhand around his neck, and hugged him hard, "The mother concubine is not ruthless, she has seen through it." ”

Her husband treats her as a mother-killer, and it is useless to explain, what else can she do? Escape? It doesn't matter if she can escape or not, as long as she escapes, it is equivalent to admitting her crime of killing the old lady.

She is a weak woman, helpless, and unfounded, what's the use of escaping? She is not Qin Xianglian, if she wants to sue, she can meet a Qingtian master like Bao Heizi.

Being misunderstood by her husband has made her loveless, and if even her son thinks she killed someone, then she will be difficult to see even if she is dead.

Left and right can't escape death, it is better to die happily under the knife of her husband. First, it is wise to die, and secondly, it can also make King Ji'an feel guilty, so as to treat her son well and ensure that he has no worries about food and clothing throughout his life.

That's why she left that suicide note, ordering King Ji'an in the most decisive and cruel language that she must keep Zhou Shu tight-lipped, and she can't reveal her true cause of death until she dies. even threatened him that if he dared to treat her son badly, he would not let him go as a ghost.

When she wrote the letter, she was so emotional that she only thought about taking care of her son, and forgot to explain that King Ji'an treated the people in her courtyard well. It wasn't until she was dying that she remembered this stubble, and wanted Qingmo to take the letter and add a stroke, but unfortunately it was too late.

"That suicide note, Sister Qingmo only saw half of it, and it was discovered." Zhou Shu's mood calmed down and continued, "After a few glances in a hurry, it seems that the background of the old lady is written in the back, and a secret decree hidden in the head of the jade scepter is also mentioned.

Because the old lady fell into the Yellow River in her early years, her legs and feet have not been very good. The first emperor once gave her a dove-headed jade staff, and she always carried it with her. After the old lady passed away, the mother concubine enshrined the jade staff in the Buddhist hall according to the old lady's deathbed instructions.

I asked Shi Quan to search the Buddha Hall carefully, but I couldn't find the jade staff......"

"Could it be that my father put it away and put it somewhere else?" Jian Ying guessed.

Zhou Shu shook his head, "It's unlikely, if there is really a secret purpose in the head of that jade scepter, it is the safest to put it in the Buddha hall." ”

Jian Ying understood, "You suspect that there is a secret channel in the Buddha Hall that is specially used to hide things, and it is difficult to find the mechanism that is opened for a while, so you set a fire to lure the old snake out of the hole?" ”

Seeing him nodding, he asked eagerly, "What about the result?" Did the old snake get out of the hole? ”
