Chapter 536: The Unspeakable
The sachet in the hands of the female corpse should be investigated as a clue, and the clothes worn by the female corpse when she died should also be found, so as to determine the identity of the deceased, and the two aspects should be carried out at the same time. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Su Miao hoped that she guessed that the female corpse on the mountain was not the Wu family.
Returning to Xue Minglou from outside the city, Su Miao's mood was indescribably depressed, and she was originally frightened like a trauma, but when she found out that the dead person was likely to be the Wu family, her mood became heavy again. When she returned to Xue Minglou, it happened that Su Xian also came back, Su Xian was very concerned about Su Jue's affairs, and Su Miao roughly told her what happened on the mountain just now.
Su Xian listened and didn't speak for a long time, she wasn't very surprised.
"Of course, it's best to be alive, but most women will resist desperately when they encounter that kind of thing, and if they resist too much, it's not impossible for the other party to have murderous intentions." After a long silence, she whispered.
Su Miao didn't say anything, she didn't know what to say.
"By the way, someone is looking for you outside, and I've been waiting for you for half an hour." Su Xian said.
"Who?" Su Miao was stunned.
"The male butler next to Xia Jinxuan." Su Xian replied.
"Huh? Sharon? Are you sure he's looking for me? Su Miao was confused and asked suspiciously.
"I want to find you by name, saying that there are some things I want to discuss with you."
"What do I need to discuss with him?" Su Miao became more and more surprised.
Su Xian thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Isn't it you and Xia Jinxuan in the next game, maybe they came to buy you and let you deliberately lose to his young lady." ”
Su Miao felt unlikely, shook her head and said, "No." ”
"I can't think of any other reason than what he's doing. You'll find out if you go and see it. Su Xian slowly arranged her hair in the mirror and said.
"Hmm." Su Miao responded, staring at Su Xian, who was touching up her makeup in the mirror, "Do you still want to go out, it's time for dinner soon!" ”
"Lu Shuo said that the cloth village in the south of the city has accumulated cotton wool for many years, which can be given to us at a low price and used to make winter clothes for the victims."
"You two are going?"
"Hmm." Su Xian responded briskly and was trying to fit the earrings.
Su Miao looked at her, hesitated for a long time, and said, "Eldest sister, although I shouldn't ask, are you done playing with King Wen?" ”
"Whether I'm done with him or not depends on whether he lets me keep playing." Su Xian did not shy away from it, and replied in a brisk tone, as if she was talking about an inconsequential matter.
“…… Tsk, eldest sister, King Wen is too dangerous, he is not a man who can accompany you to live a quiet life. ”
"Living?" Su Xian laughed out loud, turned her head, frowned, looked at her with a smile, and said, "Your eldest sister and I are not looking for a husband, what do you want to 'live quietly'?" Besides, who dares to guarantee who can accompany who to live quietly, people will change, and in the blink of an eye, it is possible to become another look that you don't know at all, compared to the imagination of the future, the most important thing is to be happy now. ”
Su Miaomo rubbed her chin, tilted her head and thought for a while, and in a trance agreed with her words:
"That's right!"
"I'm leaving." Su Xian put down the mirror, turned around, twisted her waist and walked out.
"Eldest sister, what do you think of Lu Shuo?" Su Miao finally asked.
"People are quite promising, but it's a pity that the grade of men and women is too low, so it's suitable to find an obedient girl to live honestly." Su Xian said, the person has already gone out.
This means that he is not interested at all, that is to say, Lu Shuo is shaving his head is hot, Su Miao pursed her lips, and then remembered that there was Xia Lang waiting for her in front of her.
Holding full of suspicions, she came to Xue Minglou's teahouse, and according to the guidance of the guys, she saw Xia Lang in a chic elegant seat, a man like a breeze and a moon, with picturesque eyebrows and a lofty instrument, sitting quietly on the tea house by the window, leisurely sipping a cup of tea.
Hearing the movement, Xia Lang turned his head and saw Su Miao, he immediately stood up, politely gave a salute, and said in his mouth:
"Hello Miss Su!"
"Steward Xia looking for me?" Su Miao asked confusedly.
"Yes. Miss Su, please be seated. Xia Lang made a gesture of please and poured another cup of tea for Su Miao.
Su Miao sat down, but didn't touch the tea he poured, and asked with a polite smile:
"Did Miss Xia ask you to come?"
"No, I came to visit Miss Su privately." Sharon sat down and replied with a warm smile.
Su Miao became more and more surprised, and looked dazed: "What is Steward Xia looking for me to do?" ”
"The day after tomorrow is the day of competition between my young lady and the girl." Sharon said with a smile.
Su Miao nodded, wondering if he was really here to buy her, right? Probably not, right?
"In the competition the day after tomorrow, please Miss Su don't show mercy, smash Miss's self-esteem fiercely, and frustrate Miss's pride, three rounds, I hope Miss Su wins with a high score difference!" Sharon retracted his smile, his expression serious, restrained and determined, he said to her in a deep voice.
Su Miao looked at him in amazement, she didn't know how to reply to his request at all.
"I thought about it, but I still couldn't understand what you meant. Naturally, I'll do my best, but I won't be able to promise you anything when the topic and state are not clear. Besides, why should I promise you? Su Miao couldn't laugh or cry.
"What I want to hear is not the girl's mouth of 'go all out', but 'spare no effort', Miss Su, the reason why my young lady lost to you a few days ago is because she hasn't been in the kitchen for a year, these two **** practice day and night, the unfamiliar craft has gradually recovered, you can't win her without putting in all your heart and soul in the competition."
"Are you here to show off Xia Jinxuan to me, or are you here for me to fight her for you?" Su Miao scratched her cheeks, said speechlessly, paused, and asked, "What are you here for?" ”
"What is Miss Su's original intention?" Sharon was silent for a moment, not answering the rhetorical question.
"Huh?"
"The reason why Miss Su chose to do this business is not to inherit her father's craftsmanship, but because she likes it, right?" Sharon said.
"Hmm." Su Miao nodded.
"The same is true of my young lady, but since my lord died, gradually, she has forgotten this. She had forgotten this, so the situation of the Lotus Tower would get worse and worse, and her situation would get worse and worse. I was naturally happy that she could protect the Lotus Tower from the tiger and wolf surrounding, but she was probably carried away by the victory and regarded stubbornness as persistence. Mother and daughter are separated, sisters turn against each other, sisters and brothers become enemies, and now she has become a person fighting alone. If she continues like this, sooner or later, she will be defeated by herself. That's why I came to ask Miss Su, Jinxuan regards you as a fierce rival, defeating you has become her most persistent thing now, Miss Su's previous games were more or less devoted to the tenderness of the opponent, but this game with Jinxuan, please Miss Su don't do this, crush her self-esteem and pride, only in this way, can she sober up! Xia Lang said, stood up, and bowed deeply to Su Miao.
Su Miao stared at him for a while: "It turns out that she has a younger brother, I thought that there were no men in their family, so she was so strong." ”
"Miss has a cousin below, she still loved this cousin very much in the past, but since the death of the master, she completely regarded the little young master as an enemy who fought with her for power and profit, the young master was young, provoked by others, and confronted her everywhere, and if this continues, the Lotus Building is likely to cause huge losses due to internal friction."
"What is the relationship between you and Xia Jinxuan?" This is the question that Su Miao is most curious about now.
"Below is the young lady's butler." Sharon replied.
"You like her, don't you?" Su Miao held her cheek with one hand, raised her eyebrows, looked at him, and asked.
Xia Lang's expression stiffened slightly, lowered his head more deeply, and replied softly:
"I'm just a housekeeper down there."
Su Miao flattened her mouth and said slowly:
"I'm definitely coming to the tournament to win, no matter who the opponent is. I can only say that, I won't say anything else, Steward Xia can please go back. ”
Xia Lang said so much, but Su Miao just replied with such a sentence without being salty, Xia Lang's eyes flashed a little disappointed, but he didn't say anything else, made a new gesture, and said respectfully:
"Thank you, girl, for listening to her face trembling for so long, and I will say goodbye first."
"Steward Xia walks slowly." Su Miao nodded and said.
Sharon turned and left.
Su Miao stared at his back, her fingers slowly rubbing her lips, and her eyebrows raised slightly.
Wuwang Mansion.
Liang Ao reined in the horse, glanced at the carriage behind him, got off the horse, walked under the carriage window, knocked on the window, and said with a warm smile:
"Axi, let's stay at the second brother's house tonight, the second brother sent someone to tell the concubine that I will send you back to the palace tomorrow morning, how about it?"
There was silence in the carriage for a long time before Liang Xi's brisk voice came:
"Good!"
Liang Ao smiled and ordered someone to go to the palace to inform the concubine, and the carriage turned around first and entered the Wuwang Mansion and drove towards the courtyard where Liang Xi lived.
Liang Ao stepped into the door of the mansion, and the butler greeted him and whispered a few words beside him. Liang Ao frowned, and did not follow the inner courtyard, but came to the outer study that was guarded layer by layer.
Liang Chang sat on the chair under the wall of the study in a daze, at this time the sky gradually darkened, but before the time of the lamp, the room seemed to be covered with a layer of fog, blurry.
Liang Ao felt that Liang Chang's complexion was not very good, guessing that he was probably depressed because he was grounded by his father, Liang Ao frowned, and asked in a deep voice:
"Why do you still go out after being grounded, let your father know that you are not just grounded!"
Liang Chang had been pondering, but he didn't notice him coming in, and was startled by his sudden voice, and stood up quickly:
"Second, second brother, you're back!"
"What's wrong, come here all of a sudden? What's wrong? Liang Ao also knew that Liang Chang was not reckless, and he must have taken the risk to come because of something.
"I heard that a female corpse was found on the mountain outside the city, I remembered the Su Wu clan, and I was a little worried, so I came over." Liang Chang replied.
"That's it?" This was not the answer Liang Ao wanted to hear, and he asked angrily.
Liang Chang grew up with Liang Ao since he was a child, and he has a deep affection for Liang Ao, and he is very in awe of this brother, knowing that Liang Ao is angry, he also became cautious, paused, and said in a low voice:
"Today, Yang Shangshu came to my mansion and insisted that Yang Lin had nothing to do with Su Wu's case, crying that the second brother didn't trust him, no matter how he defended the second brother and still regarded Yang Lin as a suspect."
Liang Ao sneered: "Since it's not, he is waiting for his innocence, what is crying everywhere, it's not what kind of character his son is in his heart!" ”
"If it was really Yang Lin who did it, what is the second brother going to do?" Liang Chang asked.
"The matter has gone to the emperor, if it is confirmed that Yang Lin did it, what can I do?" Liang Ao was in a very bad mood at this time, he was very irritable, and his tone was also very rough when he spoke.
"Once Yang Lin is executed, Yang Shangshu will definitely turn against the second brother, and the second brother will lose a criminal department at that time." Liang Chang reminded solemnly.
"If he Yang Zhizhen is so ignorant and shameless, I will go out and cut off this arm! Rob the people's daughters *** and kill, the brute who does this kind of thing should die, and it is not a good thing to be able to raise this kind of beast, and it is better to get rid of this scourge if it is kept! Liang Ao's temper today is surprisingly anxious, as if something is pressing in his heart, even Liang Chang, who knows him, feels very strange, and always feels that today's second brother is abnormally irritable.
Liang Chang didn't know what to say for a while.
"What else is going on with you?" After being silent for a while, Liang Ao's voice gradually stabilized and asked lightly.
"Nope."
"If not, go back, don't leave the house during the lockdown." Liang Ao warned.
"Yes." Liang Chang responded, paused, and stopped talking.
"Anything else?" Liang Ao asked.
"No, no." Liang Chang said, turned around, fastened the hood on his cloak, and walked out, his steps were slightly heavy, and when he reached the door, he suddenly turned his head and asked quickly, "Second brother, do you know what my biological mother died for?" ”
Liang Chang's heart sank slightly, frowned, and looked at him with strange eyes: "Didn't you say that you died of illness?" ”
Liang Chang looked at him for a while, there was no palm light in the room, no matter how good his eyesight was, there were always some things that he couldn't see clearly.
The sleeves of the robe were gradually tightened, the corners of Liang Chang's lips were hooked, his voice was slightly hoarse, and he laughed softly:
"yes."
"How?" Liang Ao frowned and asked.
"It's okay, I suddenly remembered my biological mother, and asked in vain. Second brother, I'll go back first. Liang said in a hoarse voice.
"Go back, I know your thoughts, don't think too much, wait for two days when your father's anger is gone, and you will be lifted." What Liang Ao said was that Liang Chang shielded Yang Lin for him, but it backfired.
Liang Chang was silent for a while, nodded, turned around without saying a word, and left.
After Liang Chang left, Liang Ao stood in the study for a while, and suddenly spoke, called his personal guard Chen Lin in, and whispered to him:
"Later, let someone put some soothing medicine in the princess's meal, so that she can go to bed early."
Chen Lin answered and withdrew to arrange.
Liang Ao was the only one left in the silent study, he suddenly put his hands on the table, bent down deeply, his head almost hung down on the table, after a long time, he sighed heavily, infinite heaviness, infinite coldness, his shadow was reflected on the wall, stretched by the clear light seeping in from the window.
On the horse-drawn carriage on the return trip.
Liang Chang leaned back on the soft pillow and stared blankly at the window. I don't know how long it took, he suddenly raised his head, put it on his sleeve, and after a pause, slowly, pulled out a worn-out white silk silk and slowly unfolded it, and the black and red colors on it were messy.
It was a blood letter, a blood letter from his biological mother Deng Concubine accusing Xue Guifei of murdering the concubine and the imperial heir. (To be continued.) )
