Chapter 315: Coercion
Cui Wenjun Ren An's mother-in-law dragged her quilt, her face became more and more condensed, her eyes narrowed slightly, after a long time, she slowly spoke, her voice was not excited, but the tone was like the last moment when a stone sank into a frozen lake, which made people's hearts fall for no reason.
"You're afraid I'll kill her."
Granny An looked at Cui Wenjun in a daze, Cui Wenjun also grew up with her, even if she left Yuheng Hall for more than ten years, she can still have a more accurate interpretation of some of Cui Wenjun's expressions and tone changes.
There was a long silence in the room, until the flame on the candlestick burst that Granny Ann came back to her senses and sighed heavily.
"She is an innocent child, and the old slave can't bear to see her suffer misfortune, but the old slave is even more afraid that the husband will be angry and do something that he will regret for the rest of his life." Granny An's cloudy eyes were a little moist, and her withered hands slowly let go of Cui Wenjun's quilt, and sat down again, her waist was still on her back, and her shoulders were also collapsing, "The old slave knows that Mr. Anqiu and others, no matter what they say, they can make the other party have to believe it." However, is the gentleman still convinced of Anqiu's words? Sir, this is not a trivial matter after all, it really can't be wrong! ”
"Of course I don't believe all of him, but what he says does make it difficult for me not to believe it." Cui Wenjun looked at Granny An, with frost in her eyes, "It's me who is unwilling, in fact, I should have died more than ten years ago, Bai Chun's slut has a femme fatale's heart, and she is planning to steal my child, how can she still be spared!" It's even more impossible that her own children are dead, and she can still keep my children! ”
Granny An looked at Cui Wenjun's expression, and her heart tightened inexplicably.
Cui Wenjun was slightly attached and stared at Granny An: "This matter." It's inseparable from you. If you don't want me to sacrifice her blood to my poor child? You're going to give me a reason that's acceptable to me! ”
Granny An's hand trembled, and even her left knee seemed to begin to ache, and a look of pain appeared on her old face. She closed her eyes and asked softly, "What does the gentleman want me to do." ”
"I'll take you to him, and you'll find a way to confirm this." Cui Wenjun retracted his body and looked down at her coldly, "If she is really that slut, don't think you can hide it from me." But if you die before I know it, then I know what you mean, she won't live either. ”
Granny An was stunned for a while before she said, "Even if Mr. can send me over, Mr. Anqiu will definitely guess my purpose." ”
Cui Wenjun said expressionlessly: "If you don't want her to die in my hands, you can do it, don't worry, I promise." Anqiu won't kill you. ”
Granny Ann slowly lowered her face and responded to this matter.
Whether it's for An Lan. Whether it's for Cui Wenjun, or for herself, she can't refuse this matter. Otherwise, not only An Lan will be in danger, but Cui Wenjun will not be able to keep her, and even Cui Wenjun himself will be driven crazy by this incident.
……
The next day, after the county lord of Danyang accompanied Mrs. Qingyao to breakfast, he didn't see anyone from the Fang family coming, and there was no news from the Yuheng Palace. Yiqiē looked so calm, as if nothing had happened, but she was even more worried in her heart, even when Lady Qingyao talked to her, she looked uneasy.
Mrs. Qingyao saw that her heart was not here, but she didn't say anything, and beckoned the county lord of Danyang to sit down with her on the long couch near the window, and said, "You haven't played chess with me for a long time, so let's play a game today, and put those incense books aside first." ”
The county lord of Danyang sat down according to his words, and wanted to speak several times, but finally endured it.
Halfway through that game of chess, a maid finally came in to report that the second master of the Fang family had come over.
Mrs. Qingyao picked up the teacup, but didn't drink it, just gently plucked the lid of the teabowl: "Please let him in." ”
The county lord of Danyang suddenly felt a little nervous in his heart, and even the fingers holding the chess pieces were a little white. Madam Qingyao glanced at her and said softly, "I told you yesterday that even if the Fang family thinks they are taking advantage of this matter, they will also be at a disadvantage. ”
The county lord of Danyang put the chess pieces in his hand back into the chess box and sat upright.
Lady Qingyao continued: "This matter should be reported to the official, but to this day, the Fang family still hasn't notified the government, which shows that they don't care about the Xue family's death, the Fang family just wants to fight for how much benefit they want from it, or keep what they want to keep." This is not an uncommon thing, Danyang, if you want to gain a firm foothold in the Changxiang Hall in the future, and if you want to stabilize the position of my Cui family, you have to get used to such things, today, you can take a good look at it. ”
The county lord of Danyang was a little stunned, she was not ignorant, so she couldn't refute her mother.
"This game of chess will be put on hold first, and you will follow me to the flower hall." Mrs. Qingyao stood up and walked out of the room as she spoke, and the county lord of Danyang had to follow, and the two of them sat down in the flower hall, when they heard a rush of footsteps outside, and then saw the maid leading a man wearing a blue satin Bafu Tuanhua long robe, about fifty or so with a solemn look on his face.
Speaking of which, the Cui family and the Fang family have also had contacts over the years, but they are not frequent, and they are not world friends. Therefore, Mrs. Qingyao did not get up to greet the guests, she just smiled at the corner of her mouth, and the county lord of Danyang stood up and walked to Mrs. Qingyao to wait.
After Second Master Fang waved his hand to greet him, Mrs. Qingyao invited him to sit down, and asked unhurriedly, "Early in the morning, why is Second Master Fang so anxious?" ”
Second Master Fang didn't go around the bend like her, glanced at the county lord of Danyang, and said, "Presumably Madame understands in her heart why the old man came here today." ”
"I've heard about it, but you suddenly found me here, it must have been a closed door in the Yuheng Hall yesterday." Mrs. Qingyao put away the smile on her face and said lightly, "So the second master is a soft persimmon when I am a soft persimmon, and I can handle it at will." ”
Second Master Fang's face was slightly gloomy, but he was not angry, and his right hand shook the armrest of the chair slightly: "The old man is thinking that he has some friendship with the Cui family, and it just so happens that Mrs. is in Chang'an now, so I came to ask Mrs., the Cui family's attitude towards this matter?" When Second Master Fang said this, he stood up, put his hands behind him, looked at Mrs. Qingyao with a look of overlook, and hugged his fists to the side of the imperial city, "The first emperor once said that the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, so no matter how big his identity is, this murder should be paid for, Madam thinks, yes or no?" ”
"That's the reason, of course." Lady Qingyao looked at Second Master Fang with a calm expression, "So you should hurry up now to catch that murderer and let him fall under the law, so that the eldest lady can rest in peace." Of course, if you need my help, you don't hesitate to ask. ”
Second Master Fang said: "It's rare that Mrs. understands righteousness, so the old man is not welcome, and dares to ask Mrs. and the county lord to take me into the Yuheng Hall and arrest the murderer." ”
Mrs. Qingyao was obviously stunned for a moment, then sneered, and shook her head: "Is it possible that the murderer can still escape to the Yuheng Palace, if this is the case, you will make it clear to the Yuheng Palace, the Yuheng Palace should cooperate, why do you need me to lead the way." ”
Second Master Fang said coldly: "The murderer has indeed fled back to Yuheng Palace, this person is the Great Incense Master of Yuheng Palace, Madame's sister-in-law, Cui Wenjun!" (To be continued......)
