Chapter 190: Inner Ghost
Aunt Jiang looked at the things in her hand, her hands couldn't help but tremble, and she lost her voice: "It's not like this, I didn't do such a thing."
Liu Xuan helped Shi Shi and said: "You didn't do it, how could you find this thing in your girl's yard, could it be that a girl who can't read big characters wrote these things herself?"
Aunt Jiang didn't pay attention to what she said, she just knelt down and hugged Shi's legs and cried: "The old lady is aware that the concubine body has not done anything to betray the Liu family, really, the concubine body just has an infatuation with the eldest master, and the other concubines really haven't done anything."
Shi raised his foot and kicked her out, and sneered: "Are you infatuated with Zizhao, or are you sincere with your master, I'm afraid only you know. You didn't even let go of your cousin for your own convenience, and tried every means to let Zizhao return her, which shows the viciousness of your heart."
Aunt Jiang shook her head desperately and cried: "My cousin has a bad relationship with the eldest master, which is obvious to the family, and the concubine didn't do anything to be sorry for my cousin."
Seeing that Aunt Jiang was dead, Liu Xuan didn't admit her mistake, and said, "Isn't the handwriting on this paper your handwriting?" She can't write."
After hearing this, Shi said, "That's right, it's not her handwriting that you can know as soon as you check it."
After she finished speaking, she said to the people around her: "Prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and check it on the spot."
When Aunt Jiang heard this, she hurriedly said: "Old lady, the handwriting can be imitated, this must be someone who imitated the handwriting of the concubine and planted the blame for the concubine."
"Listen to my aunt, do you mean to admit that the handwriting on this paper is yours?" Liu Xuan sneered softly.
"No, no, it wasn't me, it's not my handwriting, it's someone planting." Aunt Jiang was a little incoherent.
At this time. The servant had already put on the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone and placed it in front of Aunt Jiang.
Aunt Jiang is not a foolish person, knowing that if she doesn't write at this time, her suspicion will be greater, she trembled and picked up the pen on the ground, and just about to write, she only heard Shi Shi say: "'The past is over, the newcomer will take over, and look forward to returning!' You write that out."
Aunt Jiang picked up the pen and wrote a few words. Before Shi could say what he said, his body softened to the ground.
Shi no longer talks nonsense with her. He ordered her to be taken down.
"How did you get to her?" After Aunt Jiang was taken down, Shi said to Liu Xuan.
Liu Xuan bowed her head and said, "That day, Aunt Jiang went to Ci'en Temple to offer incense, and she went all day. When I came back, I was a little curious, and ordered someone to keep an eye on the movement. As soon as I heard screams in this courtyard, I brought Su Jin over. She didn't want to come and open the door, but she fainted, so I ordered someone to search for it."
After she said this, Shi didn't speak, just nodded slightly.
Liu Xuan continued: "I'm not afraid of my uncle and grandmother to blame. In fact, since Aunt Jiang crossed the Ming Road, I have seen that she is not simple, especially after arriving in Boling County. Listen to the old man in the family talk about how she is like my birth mother. I have a suspicion of her."
Shi knew that Liu Xuan had always been a straightforward person, so when she said this, she didn't think much about it, but said, "Now it's an Aunt Jiang, and we still have an inner ghost in our family, we must find out."
At this time, Liu Xuan suddenly realized: "Yes, it is clear what was written on the piece of paper just now, there is already a new person to take over Aunt Jiang, who will it be?"
Shi's face was cold: "I will thoroughly investigate this matter to the end, even if the Liu family is turned upside down, I must find out this person, your wedding date is in July, you just need to prepare for marriage."
Liu Xuan said obediently: "Yes."
Liu Xuan left Aunt Jiang's yard with Su Jin.
In the evening, I heard that the Shi family had detained Aunt Jiang's side and tortured her in the room.
I learned from my mouth that after they went to the Temple of Mercy and Grace that day, Aunt Jiang and a strange mother-in-law stood there and talked for a long time under the banyan tree outside the Daxiong Treasure Hall.
Ying'er and Yao'er stood in the distance and waited, Yao'er saw Aunt Jiang and the mother-in-law arguing quietly, afraid that Aunt Jiang would suffer, so she went over to persuade her, and she was timid and didn't go over, so she didn't know what they were talking about, and she didn't know who the mother-in-law was.
Although it was not found out who Aunt Jiang was exchanging news with, Aunt Jiang's crime of eating inside and outside was confirmed.
Liu Xuan didn't know what to do with Aunt Jiang of the Shi family, in short, she didn't see Aunt Jiang appear in Liu's house from the next day, and the yard where Aunt Jiang lived was also locked after being turned upside down.
It stands to reason that Aunt Jiang was disposed of, and Liu Zhen should be the happiest, but Liu Zhen is also quiet these days, abnormal is a demon, Liu Xuan knows that Liu Zhen must have something to do.
But Liu Ke told her that Liu Zhen's affairs should not be taken care of.
She didn't pay attention to Liu Zhen.
A few days ago, Liu Ming and Liu Jialu quarreled in the study, I don't know how it spread to the market.
Coupled with the matter of Aunt Jiang this time, the discord between Liu Ming and his uncle was spread in the stable, originally there was nothing between them, and it was rumored that it was as if it had been made inseparable.
This evil even reached Liu Jialu's ears.
After Liu Jialu heard this evil, he was very angry at first, but when he thought about it, he felt that it was okay, and when someone mentioned it to him, he acquiesced.
After Rong Yi learned about this, he went back and said to Liu Ke with a smile: "Is this matter your handiwork. [,! ]?"
Liu Ke smiled bitterly and said nothing.
"It must have been you who let your father-in-law fall out with your uncle and grandfather, and then spread such words, the emperor's eyes and ears are everywhere, knowing that it will be sooner or later, maybe he will only deal with his uncle because of this matter, and let his father-in-law go, I guess right?" Rong Yi said with some smugness on his face.
Liu Ke nodded and said: "I can't hide anything from you, that's what I mean, although it may not work, but I can't do nothing, do my best to obey the destiny of heaven."
Rong Yi put away the smug look on his face just now, put his hand on Liu Ke's shoulder and said, "I can guess your intentions, and the emperor will definitely be able to figure it out."
Liu Ke took a deep breath and said, "I know, but I think that if the emperor really wants to let my father go, I have to find a suitable step and reason for the emperor."
Rong Yi was laughed at what Liu Ke said, "How did I hear that the Zhu family still goes to the council hall every day these days?"
"Yes, I haven't figured out the situation at home yet, so naturally I can't do without her." Liu Ke said with a smile.
"I thought you would be resolute and decisively snatch the middle feed from the Zhu family, but I didn't expect you to use other strategies." Rong Yi took Liu Ke's hand and walked under the courtyard wall covered with wood incense and said.
Liu Ke looked at the flowers and plants in the courtyard and said: "The interpersonal relationships in the palace are intertwined, I don't figure it out, how to be resolute and resolute, how to kill decisively?" The decisiveness of killing is also on the premise of knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent."
Rong Yi nodded and said, "If you feel that it is difficult to start from the inner courtyard, you can start with the outside industry first, there are a few shops that are my people."
"Like the shopkeeper of Qi Wang?"
Regarding Qi Wang's matter, Liu Ke never opened his mouth to ask Rong Yi, and at this time, he raised the matter and just inquired.
"As you said, I can't hide anything from you," Rong Yi reached out and scratched Liu Ke's nose.
This situation happened to be seen by Rong Qiao, who was leading the girl to pick flowers not far away.
At this time, Rong Yi and Liu Ke also noticed Rong Qiao and stood in place and watched her slowly walk towards this side.
When he got closer, the corners of Rong Qiao's mouth twitched slightly, and he said coldly: "The prince and the princess are really in harmony."
Rong Yi raised his eyebrows and said, "What's the matter?"
Rong Qiao snorted lightly and said, "It doesn't matter what you do to me, just don't dangle in front of me."
Rong Qiao is obese and ordinary-looking, although she has reached the age of marriage, but few matchmakers come to the door, so her own temperament has also become eccentric, she doesn't like to communicate with people, just stuffy at home tinkering with flowers or reading and writing.
"What do you mean by dangling in front of you, I think you're getting in our way, and you're so big that you block the flowers behind you, you really shouldn't come out." Rong Yi didn't say a word, and after he finished speaking, he pulled Liu Ke into his arms.
After Rong Qiao heard this, his face immediately turned red with anger, and he was about to speak, only to hear Liu Ke say: "I heard that the county lord likes calligraphy."
Rong Qiao was interrupted by Liu Ke, swallowed back what he wanted to say just now, and said, "Why are you asking this from a person who can't read a few words?"
Rong Qiao is not amazing in appearance, so she naturally looks down on Liu Ke with outstanding appearance from her heart, in her opinion, a woman like Liu Ke has nothing else to do with her appearance.
"Although Liu Ke is not talented, he likes to appreciate it, and when he goes to visit the county lord another day, the county lord should not turn Liu Ke away." Liu Ke said and smiled, turned back to Rong Yi and said, "Let's go, I'm a little tired from walking."
After returning to his room, Rong Yi said to Liu Ke: "Why are you so polite to her, she is a monster in our family."
When Liu Ke heard this, he smiled and said, "Aren't you also a royal monster?" Maybe you two have something in common."
"Me with her?" After Rong Yi finished speaking, he touched his chin and said, "What am I like, what is she like, how can she be compared to me."
Liu Ke couldn't help but smile: "Judging people by their appearance, I think she is a little weird, but she is not bad, better than the King of Anqing and the Zhu family."
Rong Yi said a little unconvinced: "What is the difference between her and Anqing, they are brothers and sisters, even if they are different on the surface, they are the same in their bones, you still don't want to make friends with her."
Liu Ke shook his head and said, "I have to make friends with her, even if I don't meet her in the back garden today, I plan to visit her."
"Why?" Rong Yi asked puzzled. (To be continued)
