When it comes to childhood, Su Nianyu and Dong Qiurong can talk about "two little guesses"; But I don't know when the little friends who used to play together back then seemed a lot stranger because she rarely went to the Dong Mansion.

Just like when she went to Dong's Mansion a few months ago, she still remembered the mocking looks on her cousin Dong Yiqing and cousin Dong Qiurong that day, probably because she was so good when she was a child, so she didn't forget it at all when she returned to the mansion for such a long time, but it was deeply embedded in her mind.

Now seeing her cousin looking at her with such clear eyes, she is a little uncomfortable.

But as the master, she still has the ability to adapt to changes, not to mention, there is no trace of malice in her cousin's eyes today, as a cousin, she can't be unseen.

He rolled up his sleeves and smiled, "Why does my cousin look at me like this?" Or is it because I haven't wiped something off my face? ”

Dong Qiurong shook his head, curious and full of doubts, "Cousin, some questions have puzzled me for a long time, I originally wanted to ask you in person, but unfortunately I rarely have the opportunity to meet you; Even if you come to the house, I can't always find a chance to sit alone with you, but now it's good, you're in front of me, why don't you just answer me? ”

These words were like talking to her, and it was difficult to hear Su Nianyu almost happy, and he responded generously at the moment.

Dong Qiurong blinked his charming eyes and said, "My impression of my cousin has always stopped when I was a child, so the news I get about you now is generally through rumors outside; In the past, I always thought that the rumors were mixed. If you listen carefully, you can hear some momentum. What's more, some of the things that were rumored in the capital in the past seemed to have shadows, so when you came to the mansion for the first time after a few years. I'll take my eldest brother to the dining room to see you. ”

Speaking of this, Dong Qiurong paused at the right time, probably thinking of his attitude at that time, he apologized very happily, "Because I heard a lot of rumors that were unfavorable to you at that time, as soon as I went in and saw that cousin you were like that, I felt more and more that the rumors outside said that you treated your concubine harshly." What pampering, arrogant, unreasonable, and the like can be trusted; I'm a more direct person, I wanted to find someone to question you when no one was around, but fortunately you had something to do with your grandmother at that time. I hid in the house with her, but I didn't get the time to catch it, otherwise I would have been embarrassed. Over here. I still have to say sorry to you. The way I behaved and the way I behaved at that time must have disappointed you. ”

Su Nianyu didn't expect that as soon as the two met, they got her apology first, and immediately laughed, "I haven't seen each other for so many years, and my cousin is still as straightforward as I remembered, well, temperamental." But. That's fine, there's something to say. Something to talk about will make the problem seem easier. ”

Dong Qiurong also laughed, but said with a slightly annoyed look: "Only cousin you will praise me for having such a good temperament, when I was in the house, my mother often said that I belonged to artillery, and if I burned it, the people around me were also spared; Especially this time I came to participate in my cousin's ceremony, and my grandmother told me a thousand times, so I must be restrained and restrained. I've accepted some of my temperament, but now that I can be alone with you, I can't help but ask what I have hidden in my heart. ”

Su Nianyu listened with crooked eyebrows, she was really so angry with the girl in front of her, it seemed to coincide with the little girl she knew when she was a child, she thought about it for a while, her cousin when she was a child was really in trouble.

Before she could think about it, Dong Qiurong said again: "Because I heard the rumors at that time, I paid more attention to your affairs, at that time, it was natural to hate iron and steel, and I always felt that cousin, even if you grew up, you should maintain an innocent temperament like you when you were a child; I, as a cousin, am really angry and envious of you. ”

Su Nianyu pursed her lips and smiled, as if she was listening to someone else's business, but when she heard the words, she asked again, "Envy?" According to my cousin, what can I envy you? ”

Dong Qiurong glanced at her, and his tone unconsciously became a little more complaining, "Naturally, it's your cousin!" You don't know, after you and your grandmother entered the house that day, my eldest brother looked at me for a long time and said, 'Fortunately, Qiu Rong didn't grow into such a red face and trouble, or I won't be able to marry a satisfactory daughter-in-law in the future', I didn't go to my heart at that time; ”

Dong Qiurong said that he was very indignant, and unconsciously pulled his cousin, who had been smiling lightly, two steps closer, and looked at it carefully before saying, "...... Cousin, you really look very good, and only with your posture, standing in the same place with the prince will not be inferior, but it looks like a match made in heaven, tsk, the children in the future don't know how much they will be carved jade! ”

Su Nianyu felt that if she didn't interrupt again, she didn't know what amazing words her cousin would say, so she coughed twice and said: "Actually, appearance is just a superficial thing, it will age with age, and there is nothing to envy when it comes to it; Besides, my cousin is actually not bad-looking, so she doesn't have to envy me, and she doesn't necessarily have to be very good. ”

Seeing that Dong Qiurong looked like he wanted to defend himself, Su Nianyu hurriedly blocked another sentence at the right time, "By the way, my cousin just said that she wanted to ask me something?" ”

Dong Qiurong put away the words that came to his lips at this time, and he really didn't have the heart to continue the small topic of Fang Cai's daughter's family, and after a little silence, he said: "Actually, it's not a big deal, I just want to ask, these days, are those things that are rumored outside true?" ”

Su Nianyu looked at her, her expression was a little confused, "There have been a lot of things going on in the mansion during this time, and I don't know what is said outside." ”

Dong Qiurong seemed very patient, "That is, it is about Aunt Liu and Second Miss Su in the Su Mansion, the ugly things they committed." I don't care; I heard that her little aunt did all the bad things in order to climb to the position of her mother-in-law. Not only did he not say anything to you, but he also wanted to harm Mrs. Su, and even the matter of the little aunt back then was inseparable from her......"

When Dong Qiurong said the back, her expression became a little more resentful, she wanted to say everything she had heard, but she felt that it was too hard to talk like this. simply frowned directly and said, "Cousin, are these things true?" ”

Su Nianyu didn't answer directly, but said in surprise: "Where did you hear about these things?" ”

It was really after listening to what my cousin said. Taken aback.

It's not that these things are made out of nothing, in fact, my cousin's news is very accurate, and none of them are not fake; That's why. Su Nianyu was surprised.

On the third day after the prince returned from Changfeng County. The Zen Master was also transported back; As soon as he arrived in the capital, it was exactly the night when it was dark, and it was probably explained by the prince before, so as soon as this person arrived, he was directly sent to Su Mansion.

For this reason, Su Nianyu, who was already lying down, got up in a hurry, and went straight to the front hall to meet Master Zen Wu; I was thinking that it was already a time when the night was quiet. Except for the Zen master who was invited up, there should be no one in the main hall.

But I don't want to. When she stepped into the house, her grandmother and father were in the seat; On the contrary, it was her arrival that surprised the two, "Sister Yu, why haven't you slept at this time?" What are you doing here? ”

It was Mrs. Su who said this, and after taking a look at the granddaughter who came in a hurry, she hurriedly said to Mother Zhao beside her, "Didn't you bring a cloak here?" Hurry up and put it on Sister Yu first. Although it is summer weather, the night is also cold and dewy, so be careful not to catch a cold. ”

Mother Zhao hurriedly shook off the light purple cloak with gold thread in the crook of her arm, and draped it on Su Nianyu's body in two steps; Su Nianyu knew that the cloak was given to her grandmother by Mother Zhao, but she was in too much of a hurry, so she really didn't add any more clothes, and saw that her grandmother was wearing a thicker dress, so she silently accepted it.

Su Ran opened his mouth in the curling fragrance of tea, "Sister Yu, what are you doing here?" ”

Su Nianyu was about to answer, and Liang Zhu, who was standing on the side, said with a stern face: "Master Su and Mrs. Su don't know, Master Zen Wu will appear in Su Mansion, and my grandfather's instructions are part of the reason; The other part of the reason is because he is the person that Miss Su has been looking for. ”

When Mrs. Su heard this, she showed a look of enlightenment, she looked at the bald head that was also sitting in the hall, and then said, "...... It turned out that he was the former presiding Zen master of Puying Temple, and I thought he was extremely familiar and thought it was an illusion. ”

After finishing speaking, he bowed to the Zen Master very religiously.

Master Zen Wu hurriedly got up and saluted back, but his words were full of guilt, "Old Mrs. Su doesn't have to be so polite, Zen Wu is very ashamed that she only came to the door recently, and she really made a big mistake." ”

Su Ran and Mrs. Su glanced at each other, and didn't hear the meaning of his words for a while, but Su Nianyu's heart jumped suddenly, and he blurted out: "Master, why am I looking for you, I guess the prince has already told you, now, can you answer me, the death of my mother was not an accident?" ”

The Zen Master replied yes and recited Amitabha, "...... What happened back then, Zen Wu did know, but in order to protect himself, he chose to conceal it, Zen Wu is ashamed of the Buddha and you! ”

After the Zen master repented, he talked about the events of the year.

"That day, the young lady and Aunt Liu went to Puying Temple to offer incense, but in private, she asked the maid next to her to pass on the word that there was something important and must be told to the poor monk; Although the poor monk was puzzled that the young lady had to keep everyone away from talking to the poor monk, he thought that there might be something extremely important, so he didn't pay much attention to it, but he didn't want to, the first thing the young lady said to the poor monk was that someone wanted to harm her. The poor monk didn't believe it at the time, she just thought that the young lady was thinking too much, but she told the poor monk that if she happened to her on this trip, the murderer must be Aunt Liu. ”

As soon as Master Zen Wu's voice fell, Su Nianyu's nose was sour for no reason, and tears gathered in his eyes, and he really felt that it was not easy to solve the mystery of his mother's death after a few years; And Old Madam Su and Su Ran were shocked, the former pursed his lips and didn't speak, but the latter clenched his fists, and the corners of his lips turned white: "What about the back?" Please be more careful, Master. ”

At that time, hearing what the young lady said, the poor monk thought that it would be better to let her stay for a few days and let the people from Su Mansion send someone to pick her up, but at that time, it was because there was a child in the family who was seriously ill, so the young lady did not take the poor monk's suggestion, and the Tao was just her guess, and it would not necessarily happen, and then left. When the carriage of the Su Mansion made a cup of tea, the poor monk always felt unsteady, so he explained the affairs in the temple and hurriedly chased after him...... But after all, it was a step too late, and he couldn't save the young lady. ”

Su Nianyu gently wiped the corners of her eyes, and said with red eyes: "What did Master Zen Wu see?" Is there really a bandit? ”

Su Ran's eyes were slightly red, and a pair of eyes stared at the man in monk's robe without blinking, it was obvious that he wanted to know the situation very much.

Master Zen Wu didn't beat around the bush, and said directly: "At that time, the poor monk did see a group of bandits standing on the cliff, all looking down at the cliff, and Aunt Liu was tied up, and the two thieves grabbed her. When the poor monk saw it, he thought that Aunt Liu was caught by them, but he didn't want to, and the next moment a thief untied the rope on Aunt Liu's body, and said to her, 'You also saw Mrs. fall off the cliff, our task is completed, you can pay off the money quickly'. After that, I saw that Aunt Liu really took out a stack of silver tickets and gave them them, and she herself took a knife and made several cuts on her body, and rolled a few times on the ground...... The poor monk was surprised, probably when he fled, he was seen by Aunt Liu, the poor monk just returned to the temple on the front foot, and Aunt Liu also followed on the back foot, and asked to see the poor monk alone. The poor monk didn't want to, but she didn't want to, she broke in by herself, grabbed her hair, took off her clothes, and threatened that if the poor monk dared to tell what she saw, she would take the first step to make trouble about the poor monk's desire to insult her......"

Speaking of the back, the Zen Master closed his eyes and said Amitabha Buddha twice before he said bitterly: "...... Poor monk, poor monk is really helpless, at that time he only thought that he couldn't carry the black cauldron, so he promised Aunt Liu never to say it; Later, she was threatened by Aunt Liu to resign from the position of the presiding officer of Puying Temple and live in her family temple, saying that there were poor monks guarding the town, and the family house would be prosperous. But the poor monk knew in his heart that Aunt Liu was worried that the poor monk would tell the story one day, so she put me under house arrest in Liu's mansion, but she didn't expect that I would also be killed one day. ”

Su Nianyu's two lines of tears have already flowed. (To be continued......)
