Chapter 249: Life (4)
No secret can be hidden for the rest of your life until it is brought into the coffin.
Tu is well aware of this truth.
How glamorous it is on the surface, how dirty it is in secret.
It would be naΓ―ve to think that you can survive in this mansion without harming people, because you never know if the person who is smiling at you at the moment has a knife behind his back.
Tu Shi entered the mansion as a house-filler, in order to gain a firm foothold in Changfu, she took a lot of thought, and gradually, she learned some secrets that must not be publicized.
When she was young, when she was packed up by her ancestors, she also thought about breaking the jar and breaking it, shouting out all those secrets, and making everyone know, I'm not good, don't think about it, but as she gets older year by year, she knows how to keep her mouth shut.
Because her husband's surname is Chang, and her children's surname is Chang, she wants to guard this secret for their sake and with those who don't talk about the past.
And now, Chu Weilin sat beside her, wanting her to lift the veil.
A feeling of exhaustion surged in his heart, and Tu knew that what Chu Weilin said was right.
Less than two years after Chu Weilin entered the door, she had already caught a glimpse of the crazy woman and Liu Qi, if she really took the trouble to dig out, maybe in the near future, she would be able to know the answer.
Tu Shi herself entered the mansion in the ninth year of Jingde, she can inquire about those old things, the person who entered the mansion earlier than her, how can Tu Shi assert that the other party must not know......
"Only the dead can keep secrets, but there are so many people alive." Tu smiled a little helplessly. "You're right, I'm too confident, I know it, and there must be someone who knows."
"The enemy is in the light, we are in the dark, madam, we can't keep letting that person lead the way by the nose," Chu Weilin persuaded, "If it is really him who caused the matter of the red note and the uncle, how can he not make more benefits?" β
Such a great opportunity. If that man really has a plan. How could he watch the old ancestor and the mud play Tai Chi and make things go over like this.
Tu stood up and paced back and forth in the room twice, finally making up his mind. Sit back down beside Chu Weilin. Shook Chu Weilin's hand: "Yu Yun's daughter-in-law." I'll be honest with you. That matter, from head to toe, has nothing to do with our second room, and it has to do with your fifth uncle and fifth uncle. It doesn't have much to do with it...... Tu Shi paused and frowned, "It's not right, your fifth uncle has some connection, but he is also the one who is unlucky." In the final analysis, it is a matter of long rooms and four rooms. It's really turned out, it's not good-looking, we can't help but work together. β
Chu Weilin glanced down at Tu's hands that were holding her tightly.
Tu's hands are white, slightly fat, and well-maintained, and they are blessed hands that their ancestors will praise.
She knew that Tu was wooing her, and telling her that it had nothing to do with the second and third rooms was also to reassure her, after all, Tu and Chang Yuyun were estranged, so they were afraid that when things couldn't be hidden, they would compete with each other in front of their ancestors.
Chu Weilin nodded at Tu Shi and said, "Mrs. Say it." β
Tu Shi sorted out his thoughts and said: "The crazy woman shouted not 'Liu Qi', nor 'Liu Qi', but Liu Qi, the seventh girl of the Liu family at that time, Liu Silu. β
Liu Silu.
Chu Weilin read the name again, and her heartbeat couldn't help but skip a beat, the Liu family "thinks" the word.
She remembered that the name of the four-room and six-room uncle was Siyue, and the name of the virtuous concubine was Siqiong.
Seeing that Chu Weilin had already been connected, Tu couldn't help but bow slightly, and said: "That's right, the sixth brother and sister are in the boudoir for the ninth line, and the virtuous concubine is the fourth, and the three of them are the sisters of the in-laws." β
"Mrs. once said that Liu Qi is dead." Chu Weilin forcibly suppressed the consternation in her heart and asked.
Tu Shi sighed deeply: "I died in Changfu, and I died in front of Zhao." β
Chu Weilin's eyes widened in astonishment, she married into Changfu in two lives, lived in the Chang family for so many years, and in her previous life, she tried every means to find all kinds of secrets in Changfu in order to take revenge, but it was the first time she knew that the seventh sister of the Liu family died here, and no one in this family dared to say anything about Liu Qi.
"Actually, your fifth uncle was supposed to marry Liu Qi." Tu's words made Chu Weilin's palms secrete a thin layer of sweat.
The Liu family and the Chang family are world friends.
Counting up to three generations, when they were in the old capital, they were close to their mothers, but they had never been in-laws.
Before the family affairs were settled, the first emperor moved the capital, the Chang family entered Beijing with the first emperor, and the Liu family stayed in the old capital, just because the two families were close, but they did not estranged the relationship.
Twenty years ago, it was the third year of Jingde, and the first emperor's three-year filial piety expired, and now he chose a concubine for the full harem.
At that time, the Liu family had already decided to move into the capital, but the mansion had not yet been repaired, so only the wife of the Liu family brought the fourth girl Liu Siqiong and the younger Liu Silu to Beijing and lived in the Chang Mansion.
The two families are very clear about each other's thoughts, Liu Siqiong is on the roster of show girls, and she is going to enter the palace to run for election, Liu Silu is younger, but she is the same age as several masters in Changfu, and she came to see each other and get married.
Liu Siqiong has an outstanding appearance and a gentle temperament, and entered the palace after being selected.
The wife of the Liu family is in charge of the new mansion in Beijing, and Liu Silu often accompanies the ancestors of the Chang family.
The old ancestor liked Liu Silu, and discussed with the old ancestor to set this family matter for Chang Hengchen, the elders have not yet decided, but they don't want to, Chang Henghan and Liu Silu got along well and were broken by the Da Zhao family, this is like the sky falling apart, and the Da Zhao family hates to fight with Liu Silu.
If Chang Henghan hadn't married at that time, the Chang Liu family might have turned a blind eye to this matter, just like Zhao Hanyi calculated Chang Yuyun in his previous life, but Chang Yuye had already been born at that time, and there was no way to cut through the mess quickly.
Mrs. Liu asked Liu Silu, but Liu Silu only had one sentence: "In this case, I will be small." β
The wife of the Liu family was furious, but Liu Siqiong was favored by Jun in the palace, and there were many people who were jealous of her, if her own sister spread some rumors, I was afraid that it would cause a lot of trouble, and in desperation, the wife of the Liu family returned to the old capital. Let Liu Silu stay in Changfu to be small.
More than half a year later, the Liu family moved into the capital, and it happened that when Chang Hengchen married Chu Lunxin, the wife of the Liu family came to eat and drink, and Liu Silu was recuperating.
didn't last for a month, and Liu Silu died of illness.
"Did you die?" Chu Weilin asked Tu.
Tu Shi lowered his eyes and smiled faintly: "What do you think?" β
Chu Weilin understood, Liu Silu did not die of illness, but died at the hands of the Da Zhao family, using her medicine of unknown origin.
The Liu family is a beauty, think about the Liu family. Think about the one in the palace who is quite favored. The virtuous concubine Niangniang, who gave birth to the prince in her thirties, and Liu Silu, who was their sister-in-law, can be glimpsed.
Guan Xin once said: "What's the use of being beautiful? It's not like there hasn't been a thousand times more beautiful than her around our master, where is that one now? The bones are going to rot to mud! β
This white bone is talking about Liu Silu.
But Chu Weilin still doesn't understand, Liu Silu and Chang Henghan have a personal relationship. This is something that is difficult for the Liu family to talk about. It is said that the relationship between the two families will slowly drift apart. Why did the Liu family marry in later?
"I don't know," Tu said, "I heard that the sixth uncle took a fancy to the sixth brother and sister at a glance." The sixth sibling didn't know how to convince her family, so she married in. When the sixth brother and sister were pregnant with Yuming, the sixth uncle wanted to accept a newcomer, but the sixth brother and sister were not allowed, so he let his mother's family come to make a fuss together, and finally broke up unhappily. After that, the Liu family never came to the door again. β
This is the reason why the Liu family and the Chang family are drifting apart.
But the Liu family has been in the mansion for so many years, Chu Weilin never felt that she had ever been troubled by the relationship between her in-laws and her mother's family, maybe she was used to it.
"If the sixth brother and sister knew the cause of her sister's death, it would be reasonable for her to hate her sister-in-law." Tu Shi took a sip of tea and moistened his throat, "However, her sister has an affair with her uncle, this is the fundamental, right?" β
Chu Weilin understands what Tu means, they are all women who are wives, and the most disgusting thing is those women who take the initiative to lean towards their husbands, especially those women who are well-born, good-looking, and should have a good marriage to do such things, which is really disgusting and angry.
However, if it is really Liu's doing, some things will make sense.
The Liu family is by no means alone, she also has a virtuous sister, and there is no difficulty in arranging an empty master at all.
The fire that burned dangerously in Nianhui Nunnery may have been the hand of Master Kong, and the rich merchant Li who originally said that Master Tai was effective was probably also the person they arranged, and Chu Weilin remembered that it was the Liu family who first mentioned Master Kong Ming in front of the old ancestor, and later when the year expired, it was also the Liu family who mentioned Shi Tai again.
The Liu family can't bring down the Zhao family, but Concubine Xian can.
It's true that Zhao Shilang is greedy, but what about the person who stuffed the silver? What about the person who sued Zhao Shilang for embezzlement?
The Liu sisters knew that the Zhao family was implicated in the remnants of the Yongwang family, and it was not difficult to design and frame the Zhao family as the virtuous concubine.
This time, Changfu did not fall because Guan Xin was exposed, and the ancestor knew in advance that the difficulty of Zhao Mansion was not simple, so he hurriedly entered the palace.
Chu Weilin exhaled, she recalled the reason why she excluded the Liu family last time, it was that the Liu family would never let Chang Yuming and Chang Yuyu suffer greatly, but now it seems that the Liu family didn't even care about their children in order to avenge their sister.
Biting her lower lip gently, Chu Weilin thought for a while, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and she asked Tu Shi: "That crazy woman mentioned the sixth uncle, but I listened to it from beginning to end, and it has nothing to do with the sixth uncle?" β
Tu Shi was also stunned when she heard this, and when she came back to her senses, she said: "That crazy woman seems to have served Liu Silu when she came to live in Changfu in the past, and after Liu Silu followed her uncle, she went crazy and asked the ancestor to send her away." Why did she mention the sixth uncle......"
Chu Weilin propped her chin and said, "Could it be that Liu Silu's matter was not so simple at the beginning?" β
Tu raised his eyebrows and said, "Well, I can only ask the ancestor." β
Chu Weilin looked up at Tu Shi.
Tu stood up, straightened her clothes, and said, "Since she is the most suspicious, let's talk to the old ancestor, lest our family ask her to drag her into the water." Yu Yun's daughter-in-law, you just need to remember, no matter how noisy they are in the long room and the four rooms, we will always be in one room, and we will be separated in the future, and your husband and wife will also live with me and the master, only our second room will not suffer, and you will not suffer in the future. β
Chu Weilin stood up and took a deep breath, what Tu said was not wrong at all, it really made the person behind him drag Chang Fu to the guillotine, and the grievances between Chang Yuyun and Tu were just a joke.
Chu Weilin and Tu went to Songling Courtyard together.
Halfway through, he met Chang Yuyun, who was returning home, and his face flashed with doubts, and he stepped forward and called "Mrs."
Tu nodded with a smile and took a few steps forward, which did not prevent them from talking, nor did he leave them behind.
Chu Weilin quietly took Chang Yuyun's hand, and quickly told him the situation in a suppressed voice: "In the morning, my sister-in-law's family came and mentioned the matter of the uncle and the red note, and asked the ancestor to send it away, I asked my wife about Liu Qi, who was the seventh girl of the Liu family and the sister of the sixth uncle. The sixth uncle is afraid that she is avenging her. β
Chang Yuyun's brows tightened.
Before the man behind him showed his feet, he had observed everyone in the family, but there was no way to really suspect anyone, and now, this man seemed to be about to stand in front of him, but it was a person he didn't expect.
Not far from Songling Courtyard, there was a maid and a maid following, and Chu Weilin was not easy to elaborate.
Chang Yuyun didn't ask, but went to the ancestor with them.
The old ancestor got up after taking a nap, Mama Duan accompanied her to talk, and when she saw the Tu family and Chang Yuyun coming over together, she glanced at the old ancestor.
"My daughter-in-law has something to say to my ancestors." Tu said respectfully.
The old ancestor nodded and asked Mama Duan to guard the door.
Tu sat down under the ancestor, leaned over slightly, and asked the ancestor in a low voice: "What do you think of Liu Silu's death?" β
Hearing this name, the old ancestor's eyes darkened, and she shouted in a deep voice: "What are you asking? β
Tu sighed secretly in her heart, she knew that the ancestor would never want anyone to mention the past, these were scandals, and they would not be seen, but she had to mention them. Tu lowered his eyes and said, "Guan Xin said that my sister-in-law used medicine to hurt many people, did Liu Silu also die of poisoning?" Ancestor, the daughter-in-law knows that you don't want to mention her, but you see, the daughter-in-law knows that there is a Liu Silu, haven't the six brothers and sisters thought about how her sister died? β
The old ancestor slowly clenched Xiao Ji's hand, she squinted her eyes, and said sharply: "Tu family, are you hinting at me, is the Liu family making trouble?" β
Tu gritted his teeth and said: "It's only her, I can't wait for my sister-in-law to die, and I can't wait for my uncle and Yu Ye's father and son to turn against each other." β
"And then......" Old Ancestor sneered, she looked straight into Tu's eyes, and said word by word, "If it's really her, what should I do?" β
Tu's body trembled.
If it's really the Liu family, what should I do?
A layer of cold sweat broke out on Chu Weilin's back, the virtuous concubine who knew the ins and outs was in the palace, and the old ancestor had a heart, and he couldn't quickly clean up the Liu family.
Her heartbeat quickened a little, and Chu Weilin glanced at her ancestor quickly.
It seems that in just one afternoon, the old ancestor has deduced the most suspicious person in her heart. (To be continued......)
