After midnight (eleven o'clock in the evening), Mingjing came over, Changsheng put on makeup, and before he could salute, he opened his mouth and asked, "Can you tell me what the hell is going on?" There was irrepressible anger in his tone, and his eyes seemed to be on fire.

Although Changsheng had expected his attitude, he was still a little angry. Mingche is too far away, Mingjing is in Xie Mansion most of the time, and in the past three years, things have happened under his nose but he has not noticed half a minute, if he investigates, his mistake is really unforgivable, three years have passed, but he can't wait for a while.

However, compared to before entering the mansion, he was much calmer, and he was invited to come over just to explain clearly and persuade him to agree with his approach, so he was not afraid of his questioning.

She quietly sat down lightly, flicked the charcoal fire, raised her head and said calmly, "What does the third prince think is going on?" Could it be that I was bought by Granny Lu? If that's the case, I might as well extort a large sum of money from her without telling you, and still stay here and wait for you to ask for the guilt? ”

The candlelight flickered, and Ming Jing looked at her sleepy-eyed appearance and hastily pulled up the loose bun, adding a bit of lazy and charming charm, and the anger suddenly disappeared, thinking of what she had done before, I felt that she seemed to have other intentions.

Changsheng took a sip of hot tea and said slowly: "I know that the third prince must be very self-blaming, so he is in such a hurry to clean up Granny Lu, but have you ever thought about what the purpose of doing this without her is?" Is there still someone manipulating behind the scenes? If you rashly send her down, will you startle the other party and make the other party take precautions? ”

Mingjing breathed a long sigh of relief and nodded again and again: "If it weren't for the New Year, I would have wanted to kill this old pious woman with my own hands yesterday!" You think very well. Otherwise, anyway, Jinshu rarely goes out of the house, and few people come here, as long as she is appeased first, no one will notice that the old pious woman is missing for the time being, I see that Jinshu is destined for you, and you will take care of her from tomorrow onwards. There is an abandoned wine cellar under the hillside in the backyard of Xie's house, and I took advantage of the night to find a few henchmen to quietly arrest the old pious woman, and put her there to torture her, I don't believe that she didn't tell who the real culprit was behind the scenes! ”

"Well, this method is good, her old bones can't stand it, maybe she'll recruit it, but who can guarantee that she will definitely recruit? You've been busy all day, why don't you hear what Miss Jinshu and I have done today? ”

Mingjing couldn't understand why she suddenly mentioned this, but it still piqued his interest. Because Jin Shu is very afraid of people, especially young and beautiful women, including several of her aunts, she will cry when she can't see familiar people for a while, and later even developed to the point that she cries whenever she sees a strange woman.

It's a miracle that she can accept Zhou Changsheng so quickly, of course, mainly because of the nursery rhyme. Jin Shu vaguely said that her mother had to sing this song every night to coax her to sleep, because no one sang this song to her after the death of her sister-in-law, she cried for a long time and refused to sleep well, but she was frightened because she was young and frightened, and only remembered the first three sentences.

He and his eldest brother thought it was a nursery rhyme written by his sister-in-law for his daughter, thinking that she was the only one in the world who could sing it, but how could this Zhou Changsheng sing this nursery rhyme completely? She has no resemblance to her sister-in-law's appearance at all, but her aura is inexplicably similar, with an indifference and detachment that people can't grasp, as if she has seen all the vicissitudes of the world.

Mingjing stared at her suspiciously, his handsome face under the candlelight was full of puzzlement: "Can you tell me where you learned that song?" Have you ever known your sister-in-law? ”

Changsheng had already thought about this question and thought about how to answer it. "I learned in the palace with an old palace girl surnamed Li in the former dynasty, she said that she was a person in Kaifeng, because no one in the family volunteered to stay to serve the new emperor, she knew a lot, and I learned a lot from her, including this nursery rhyme, but unfortunately she passed away half a year before I left the palace, I really didn't expect my sister-in-law to sing this song, and I also have a fate with Jinshu."

She inquired that Lin Xinyi and Lin Xinhui were Kaifeng people, she had been in the palace for eight years, and there were many old palace maids who passed away one after another, among which the palace maid surnamed Li was from Kaifeng, and she excused herself, even if she wanted to check it, she couldn't find anything, as long as there were no major flaws, Changsheng didn't care whether he believed it or not.

Although Mingjing was skeptical, he couldn't go to the palace to verify, let alone find a dead person to verify, so he let go of the words for the time being: "Tell me what you and Jinshu did today?" Does she still like you? ”

Changsheng 1510 talked about what happened today, including the extreme panic and helplessness of Jinshu when she woke up in the morning and couldn't see Granny Lu, including her sincere concern after seeing Granny Lu sick. Then without any comment, let Mingjing be in a daze.

Mingjing was stunned for a long time before holding his head and hanging down, and said with great self-reproach: "I understand what you mean, you did all this for Jinshu's good." It was my carelessness that ignored the death of my sister-in-law in the past three years, and Jin Shu couldn't leave her almost for a while, and she did take good care of Jin Shu, plus my sister-in-law treated her like a mother before her death, so she deceived us all. If she suddenly disappears, the person who will be hit the hardest is Jinshu, not the person who may exist behind the scenes. I have been missing the investigation for three years, and I have made a serious mistake, and I almost killed Jinshu again, if she has three longs and two shorts, I will go to the underworld to apologize to my sister-in-law! ”

Changsheng couldn't bear to blame him too much, Granny Lu hid it too well, and Jinshu relied on her too much. She was able to show her flaws this time because she was too taboo that she was personally selected from Jinyang, so she suppressed and guarded her everywhere, but instead exposed her feet, otherwise who would be able to easily detect it?

"Well, don't be like this, it's not too late to make up for it, although Jinshu is introverted and withdrawn, it hasn't reached the point of incorrigibility. And I feel that Granny Lu just wants to deceive and control Jinshu for some purpose, she doesn't really want to harm her, and she hasn't abused her in any way, and she can even be regarded as meticulous, which is the main reason why no one has noticed it in the past three years. ”

Mingjing raised her head suddenly: "She is the manager of Jinshu Courtyard, and she is in charge of all the daily expenses, all of her food, clothing, housing and transportation are all included, and Brother Yueyin will add it to three taels, and my mother is only two taels when she becomes an aunt, what purpose does she have?" If you want money and land, she said that as long as Jinshu is a good brother, she will agree to anything, why did she do this? The sister-in-law regarded her as a mother before her death, and Jin Shu was closer to her than anyone else, is she worthy of them? ”

"Yes, Grandma and Miss Jinshu are very important to her, and I believe that she is genuinely good to them. But have you ever thought that if there is anyone more important to her than Grandma and Jinshu? If there is a conflict of interest between the two, what does the third prince think she will do? ”

Mingjing looked at Changsheng's face red from some excitement in a daze, and his eyes were like a child in the water waiting for redemption: "What the hell is going on?" Who is more important than sister-in-law and Jinshu? What do you know? Why don't I know at all? ”

"Can you find out the background of Granny Lu and Bai Mei as soon as possible?"
