Chapter 399: The Jian Family's Decision
Jian Ying turned her eyes and searched around, but she didn't see the figure of the second wife Jian, so she asked Zhao's mother, "Where is the second aunt?" ”
"Miss Six, please come with me." Zhao's mother was blessed, and she led the way.
Jian Ying followed her around, and walked for a while before she saw Second Mrs. Jian standing behind a rockery with an anxious expression.
"Second aunt." She stepped forward to salute.
"Stand down, all of you." Second Mrs. Jian's eyes swept over Zhao Ma and Xueqin and the others, and her tone was unquestionable. After a few people retreated, they grabbed Jian Ying's hand, "Girl, what I am going to say next is also what your grandmother and your eldest aunt meant, you have to listen carefully." ”
Jian Ying nodded and replied "Yes", "Second aunt, please speak, nephew and daughter." ”
Second Mrs. Jian sorted out her language a little, and then solemnly opened her mouth, "Your second uncle once sent someone to Xi'an to get another marriage letter from you...... Take it back from the old Dou's hand.
I don't know if they heard the wind or what, Lao Dou and Wang Laohan never returned home, and their neighbors and tenants didn't know where they went to distant relatives, so there was no way to trace them. ”
"That marriage certificate is forged, what is the second aunt afraid of?" Jian Ying interjected and asked.
"If it's just a marriage letter, of course we're not afraid of anything." Second Mrs. Jian sighed, "The people sent by your second uncle didn't find Lao Dou and Wang Laohan, so they found the matchmakers, ghostwriters, and confidants on the marriage book one by one, got their confessions, and asked them to sign and draw the pledge.
But on the way back, those confessions were stolen. Wait for them to turn back to Xi'an. When I was about to re-record a confession, I found that those people and their families had been killed, and there were twenty or thirty people......"
Rao is Jian Ying was strong-minded, and she couldn't help but change her face, "What happened later?" ”
"The person sent by your second uncle was arrested by the government on the spot and became a murderer. They are all loyal servants cultivated by your second uncle for many years, and they don't want to trouble your second uncle, so they ruined the official guide and committed suicide in prison.
The government was unable to verify their identities and regarded them as robbers. The case is closed. But if the saint is determined to investigate. It may not be impossible to find out their identities, and when the time comes, ......"
Second Mrs. Jian shook her hand vigorously, "Everything that happened in Xi'an is very unfavorable to us. ”
Jian Ying narrowed her eyes. "Those people really weren't killed by the second uncle?"
"Of course not." Mrs. Jian was anxious to confess. The voice involuntarily raised its head.
"Have you ever thought about it? Who is going to kill them? Jian Ying stared at her with scrutinizing eyes.
Second Mrs. Jian lowered her eyelashes with some shame, "Your second uncle and I thought that your eldest uncle wanted to prevent future troubles, after all, only his people entered the official prison." And do ...... from it"
"Haven't you ever asked your uncle for confirmation afterwards?"
"Everything we do, no matter how big or small, must be reported to your grandmother and great uncle. But your grandmother and uncle are not in a position for us to intervene. We can't think of anyone else but him.
After all, it's not a glorious thing, your eldest uncle has just entered the cabinet not long ago, if the news leaks, I'm afraid it will affect his official reputation and future. We also think in our hearts that it is more beneficial for us to die when they die, how do we know that Du Jinkao is so fateful, and after more than half a year, he actually came to sue the royal court in a good manner? ”
Jian Ying heard the meaning of her words, "Did you send someone to kill Du Jinkao?" ”
Second Mrs. Jian's face became extremely unnatural, "We can't do it, if he returns to Xi'an alive, knowing that those people are dead, what if he exposes us in a fit of anger?" ”
"Then why is he still alive?" Jian Ying's tone suddenly became very light, "It stands to reason that the second uncle would not be so negligent in doing things." ”
Second Mrs. Jian didn't understand what was going on, "The person sent out by your second uncle obviously said that he had already eliminated the person, and now he doesn't have time to investigate the past matter, and it is only right to deal with the current matter." ”
Jian Ying stared at her eyes, "What happened in Xi'an, and what you sent someone to kill Du Jinkao, why didn't the second aunt tell me until now?" ”
Second Mrs. Jian felt that she was displeased, and said earnestly: "You are the daughter of our Jian family, and we should shelter you from the wind and rain." What can you tell you? It's just going to make you more annoying.
Besides, I don't want you to misunderstand your uncle......
After a long time, we misunderstood your uncle. We just learned that it wasn't your uncle who did it, and there is a very good chance that there is a person with a deep background behind that Du Jin Kao. ”
Jian Ying withdrew her hand, "Second aunt, let's say it directly, what do you want me to do?" ”
"You're such a smart boy." Second Mrs. Jian praised her with a sigh, and looked up, "Time is limited, so I'll make a long story short."
Your grandmother meant to let you do your best to figure it out. If you really can't hide it, I hope you can take everything on your own. Don't worry, no matter what, you are the daughter of the Jian family, and we will definitely protect you first unless we have to.
King Ji'an has just made a great contribution to escort him, and his uncle also has a share. If Uncle can convince the people of the Ji'an Royal Mansion to stand on your side, then even if your identity is revealed, you can continue to be your second young lady.
You know what I mean, right? ”
Jian Ying sneered in her heart, what is there not to understand about this? From the day she came into this world, she understood that as a woman, especially as the daughter of the Jane family, she must be ready to sacrifice for the sake of the family and for the benefit of the family anytime and anywhere.
It's a pity that she has never regarded herself as the daughter of the Jane family, why should she sacrifice for them to live better? In this world, the only people who can make her willing to sacrifice are her two sons, not even Zhou Shu.
"I understand." She said expressionlessly, "I will do my best, but please ask the second aunt to tell my grandmother that while I try to maneuver, please don't interfere with any of you."
Even if you feel that you have to intervene, as long as I don't explicitly let you intervene, you have to endure it, and you will all bite to death and say that you don't know.
Also, the fourth wife must not appear in front of the saint and the queen. ”
Second Mrs. Jian nodded, "Okay, I will relay your words to the old lady word for word." ”
As he spoke, he raised his hand and stroked her hair, "Good boy, you have to be careful. ”
Jian Ying blessed her, "Thank you second aunt, my niece and daughter retired first." ”
"Second young lady, what did the second lady tell you?" As soon as she saw Jian Ying, Xueqin asked eagerly.
"Second aunt told me......" Jian Ying curled the corners of her lips, "let me feel at ease and do it boldly." ”
