Zhong Li Che laughed, "Don't dare, don't dare-"
As he was talking, Hua Heng and Hua Ke had already gotten out of the carriage and quickly floated to the two of them with light skills.
Zhong Liche and Hua Tian hurriedly stood up and saluted each other, and then Hua Tian asked, "Why is the eldest brother and second brother so late?" Is there something going on at home? β
"It's a personal entanglement, but it's nothing, it's been sent away." Hua Heng said with a smile, and then motioned for everyone to sit down.
Hua Tian looked at the two of them and saw that the two of them really had no different colors, so they relaxed and sat down with each other.
After that, she and Zhong Liche told Hua Heng and Hua Ke the news they got one by one.
After Hua Heng and Hua Ke ordered the old sage to re-investigate the matter of the eldest princess's mansion, they had conjectures in their hearts, and this was confirmed.
As for the inside story of Concubine Li's suicide, Zhong Liche also revealed his tone, but he didn't say much. At this moment, I can be regarded as knowing the cause and effect.
"Li Xianzhe is Concubine Li's younger brother, it was Li Xianzhe who sent someone to let Shen Jinyu raise us back then, it seems that Concubine Li is probably the person behind it." Hua Ke squinted his eyes and said.
"It's just that she died too quickly......," Hua Heng sighed.
Hua Tian also felt the same way, even after so many days, her heart was still full of strong disbelief.
In her previous life, she quietly erased the existence of her three siblings, and in this life, she died without a big showdown, reallyβa bit like a balloon being deflated.
She thought of Li Xianzhe, who was in the same Hanlin Academy with Hua Heng and Hua Ke, and couldn't help but ask.
"He has done it to us, and it stands to reason that we are going to kill him as soon as possible. But when I intersected with him, I have to say that he was a gentleman in a certain aspect. Hua Heng shook his head and sighed heavier.
Hua Ke snorted coldly, but did not say anything to refute it. Even he thinks Lee Hyun-chul is impeccable. If he hadn't known from Shen Jinyu back then that Li Xianzhe had sent someone to let Shen Jinyu raise and abolish their three brothers and sisters, he might have become friends with Li Xianzhe.
Zhong Liche and Hua Tian glanced at each other, looked at Hua Heng and Hua Ke, and did what they said. Lee Hyun-cheol is so gentlemanly. So excellent. In fact, Li Shangshufu does not have to rely on Concubine Li to take the throne at all, relying on Li Xianzhe, sooner or later he will be able to get ahead.
"Forget it, don't talk about him. No matter who he is. After all, they have a grudge against us. If there is a chance in the future, you will still have to take revenge. Hua Ke said.
Hua Heng nodded, although he had a generous personality. But for those who have hurt his younger siblings, he can't forgive him no matter what.
Zhong Li said, "This matter can be relieved, Concubine Li is dead, and they will not have any more means in the short term." It's mainly a matter of the Eldest Princess's Mansion. β
Now that the sage has begun to investigate, Zhong Liche knows that the sage is investigating, and the Hua family also knows. If he didn't immediately identify himself at this time, when the saint found out, he would inevitably suspect the thoughts of Zhong Liche and the Hua family.
Knowing that the only surviving daughter of the eldest princess is in your hands, and knowing that I have been looking for the old people in the eldest princess's mansion, but you have never come up, what is the picture?
Once the old saint is suspicious, it will be difficult to move forward in the future.
Hua Heng hesitated for a moment, and quickly made a decision, "We will enter the palace tomorrow and tell the saint about this matter bluntly." β
Hua Ke and Hua Tian both nodded, and could only admit it before the old sage found out.
Zhong Liche's brows furrowed, "Concubine Li's incident this time has a lot to do with me in the final analysis, and the relationship between the Hua family and me is even closer. Sage, will you suspect that Concubine Li's incident was planned by our two families? β
This is indeed a difficult problem, why is it so coincidental that Concubine Li happened to be found out by Zhong Li, the eldest princess was killed by Concubine Li, and the daughter of the eldest princess happened to marry Zhong Liche's in-laws.
No matter how you look at it, this matter is all strange.
Hua Ke rubbed his eyebrows, his eyes were firm for a long time, "It's still those four words, tell me bluntly." β
Originally, things were strange, and if there was anything to hide, the old sage would be even more suspicious. It's better to spread out the whole thing and get a frank name.
As for whether the old saints will think that they are selectively confessing, it will be seen how the time is played.
After that, several people discussed again, how to tell the old sage, how to make the old sage believe, everything was a coincidence.
Knowing that it was almost dusk, everyone took the carriage back home.
Back at the house, Hua Tian got the news that the young lady of the Jiang family went to the Zhenguo Mansion to ask to see her.
Hua Tian raised his eyebrows, a little puzzled, "Xinqing married the Jiang family?" β
"Exactly, that young lady Jiang is from the Du family, and she suddenly came to the door today, and she was very anxious between her eyebrows. Knowing that the young lady was not there, he stayed and waited for a while. It wasn't until she saw that it was getting late that she got up to say goodbye, and said that she would continue to come to the door tomorrow. Sandalwood replied in detail.
Hua Tian asked, "What did she say about looking for me?" β
She has no friendship with Mrs. Jiang Dashao, after she entered Beijing, Mrs. Jiang Dashao has married into the Jiang family and does not appear often. Even when they appeared, the two didn't talk much.
How could such a person come to the door to look for himself rashly? Could it be that Lin Xinqing had an accident?
This thought just got up, and it was immediately extinguished by Hua Tian. If Lin Xinqing had something to do, he would definitely let the sword come here, how could it be that Young Lady Jiang Du would come?
"I didn't say it, I just said that it was a very urgent private matter, so that the slave and maid must bring a message to the young lady." Sandalwood replied.
Hua Tian nodded, "Then you tell me to go down, she will come tomorrow, and you can let her in." β
She has nothing to do tomorrow, just in time to meet Du Shi in the mansion.
Sandalwood heard this and hurriedly retreated.
Hua Tian changed his clothes, talked to Fat Yaya again, and then started to have dinner.
Zhong Liche was often in the army, and his eating speed was very fast, but when he returned home and accompanied Hua Tian to eat, his eating speed dropped significantly. Now too, he eats slowly by himself, and he also takes over the duties of a nurse and feeds the fat teeth with his hands.
Fat Tooth and Tooth stood on the chair specially given to him with a pair of little chubby legs, and while eating what Zhong Li Che fed to his mouth, he grabbed something else with his little fat hand and put it in his mouth. I chirped a few times and giggled.
Come to Yi Fennel and they are waiting. Seeing that the family of three was happy, they all stood far away and watched with a smile.
At this time, the Duchess of Lao Zhenguo actually helped the hand of the personal maid to come to the door, she entered the door and saw Hua Tian and Zhong Liche eating, she was a little surprised, but soon looked at the fat teeth who were eating with rice and oily faces.
"Why are you eating so late today?" The Duchess of the Old Town asked with a smile.
Hua Tian hurriedly stood up, and ordered Laiyi to bring a stool and prepare a seat for the old town Duchess.
In this town's Guogong Mansion, the whole family usually eats together on festivals, like now. Usually, each garden has its own small kitchen.
During this period, the Duchess of Lao Zhenguo saw this. Asked Hua Tian to sit down again and again, and don't work with a shy belly.
Hua Tian didn't do anything, just stood and gave verbal instructions, which had already been completed at this time. So he went over and helped the old Duchess sit down. "Grandmother sit down and eat a little more with us."
That's it. Turn around and let the kitchen cook a few more dishes.
The old Duchess of Zhenguo hurriedly stopped the people, saying that she had already eaten it, and she really didn't need to eat it anymore.
The maid next to her also smiled. "The old lady has really eaten, just sit here this time, just sit with Xiao Langjun, the young lady doesn't have to be busy."
The Duchess of Lao Zhenguo nodded again and again, saying that this is what it means.
After finishing speaking, he looked at Fat Yaya with a loving face, then looked at Hua Tian and Zhong Liche, and said with a smile, "As soon as I entered the door, I saw your family eating like this, and I was really emotional." β
Since she was a child, she has never seen a family or a garden, and the meal will be so warm as this garden. When I suddenly looked at it just now, my heart was full of envy.
"What does Grandmother feel? If you want, please come and eat with us in the future. When the time comes, let the fat teeth accompany you to eat, and keep you emotional. Zhong Li Che said.
When Fat Yaya heard his name, he smiled and waved his little fat hand and nodded, "Yaya accompanies ...... Accompany great-grandma ......"
The old Duchess of Zhenguo's heart melted, revealing a flattered look, "Ouch, great-grandmother's fat tooth yo...... "I don't know how to love fat tooth and tooth."
In the end, she pushed Zhongli Toru aside and took over feeding Fat Yaya herself.
It's been a long time since dinner, and Fat Yaya is full of energy and has been bouncing on the soft couch.
The old lady of Zhenguo loved this little great-grandson, and she didn't want to let the nurse hold her at all, so she kept holding it with her own hands and teasing him.
But after all, she is old, and she has been playing with Fat Yaya for a while, and she is a little uncomfortable.
Still Zhong Liche, despite her objections, handed over the fat tooth to the nurse, and asked the maid to accompany him, and carried him to wash again.
Reluctantly watched the fat tooth leave, and the old Duchess of Zhenguo explained her intention, "Your grandfather and I are also old, and I am planning to go to the palace to ask the sage to let you inherit the title of the Duke of Zhenguo." β
Hua Tian's face showed surprise, she and Zhong Liche were still young, and it seemed a little inappropriate to be the Duke of Zhenguo and the Duchess of Zhenguo so quickly. Moreover, there was no rumor at all before, and as soon as Zhongli Erlang left, this matter was put on the table, which was inevitably inappropriate.
However, she looked at Zhong Liche and saw that Zhong Liche was not a little surprised, so she knew that maybe Zhong Liche already knew it in private, so she didn't say anything.
"Grandmother, you and your grandfather are still young, and this matter is not urgent. And now that the saint is in a bad mood, this matter will be discussed later. Zhong Liche said.
He himself has the title of General Zhenguo, and it is not uncommon for him to have the title of Zhenguo Gong. Before, he was reluctant to let this title fall on Zhongli Erlang, but it was just to help his mother fight for a breath.
Seeing that Zhong Liche's tone was cold and not very enthusiastic, the Duchess of Lao Zhenguo felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, and sighed, "I know you are still complaining about the past...... But it's been so long, you should forget about it......"
"It's easier said than done." Zhong Li Che said coldly.
The Duchess of Lao Zhenguo showed a touch of sadness on her face, she looked at Zhong Liche, then looked at Hua Tian, and said to Hua Tian, "Liuniang, you accompany you to enlightenment." β
Hua Tian nodded, and seeing that the old Zhenguo Duchess was about to leave, he hurriedly stepped forward to help the person and send him out of the door.
When she arrived in the bright room, the old town Duchess was unwilling to let Hua Tian send it, and took her hand and sighed,
"What happened back then, we were sorry for the enlightenment, but if we want to say everything from the beginning, I'm afraid it's still ...... Alas...... Good boy, you comfort and comfort and enlighten him, his heart knot, in this world, only you can untie it...... He met you, very well, very good. β
After speaking, she let out a long sigh, and then took the maid's hand and left.
Hua Tian stood at the door, looking at the staggering back of the old Duchess of Zhenguo through the curtain that was lifted, and felt a little gloomy in his heart.
The old Duchess of Zhenguo was already very old, and she was so sad, she looked a little sad.
However, the matter involves Zhong Liche, no matter how sympathetic she is, it is impossible for her to help the old Duchess of Zhenguo without helping Zhong Liche.
Seeing the old Duchess of Zhenguo go out of the garden gate, she immediately got up and went back to the inner room.
Zhong Li Che was sitting on the edge of the bed, holding a book in a daze.
Hua Tian looked over and saw that the book was reversed, so he couldn't help but walk to his side and stretched out his hand to caress his furrowed brows.
Zhong Li came back to his senses, put down the book, hugged Hua Tian, and his voice was a little hoarse, "Grandmother, did she ask you to persuade me?" β
"Didn't you hear that?" Hua Tian said softly, "I don't plan to listen to her, after all, I and you are from the same country." β
"Well, you and I belong to the same country." Zhongli Che loosened his arms and gently rubbed Hua Tian's back with his hands.
Hua Tian's voice was brisk, "You just took the book and looked at it, but what did you see?" β
When Zhongli heard this, he couldn't help but peck at her earlobe, and his words were threatening, "Are you making fun of me?" β
"Where do I dare to ......" Hua Tian moved his hands up, put them on Zhong Liche's shoulders, and helped him rub his shoulders, "It's not early, let's take a shower and go to bed early." β
Zhong Li Che naturally agreed, and soon both of them washed up, and then looked at the fat teeth, and then returned to the bedroom to rest.
Lying on the bed, Zhong Liche hugged Hua Tian, who was sleeping on his side, and was silent for a long time before he said slowly, "My mother is my father's desperate request, and Ming Media is marrying in the door." β
"Hmm." Hua Tian responded, waiting for Zhong Liche to say the following.
At this time, he wanted her to listen.
"My mother originally had another marriage, but she couldn't stand my father's stubborn fighting, and the other family was also afraid of getting into trouble with the Zhenguo Mansion, so she took the initiative to withdraw from her family." Zhong Liche's voice trembled a little, "He said that he would not marry my mother in this life, but ...... But ......"
Hua Tian hugged Zhong Liche, hugged him tightly, and did not speak.
"But he tried his best to get married, and he turned his face on the first day of his wedding, and he didn't set foot in my mother's room for half a year. said that he was full of affection, and he did not regret it, but he was treacherous in the blink of an eye. β
Zhong Li Che continued, his tone filled with sadness and resentment.
He had seen his mother's sorrow, he had seen her haggard and sad, he had seen her weeping secretly. There was always a slight sorrow between her eyebrows, and it was difficult for her to smile.
He had heard that his mother was a bright and lively little lady before she got married. There is a flower-viewing banquet in Beijing, and many little ladies are going by carriage, and her mother, who is bright and flamboyant, is riding a horse and riding in a costume.
He couldn't reconcile the two impressions. (To be continued......)
