"Lord Xu died of a stroke?" Du Hengshuang was a little surprised, but she knew that Xu Shao was over seventy years old, and at such an age, stroke was also a geriatric disease.

But when she saw Xiao Shihe's face with a hint of sadness in the silence, her heart jumped.

Patiently waiting until the dead of night, she asked Xiao Shiji: "...... Did you go to the Turkic court and get the evidence? ”

Xiao Shi told her before that his father's unjust death in prison was related to the Xu family, and it was the pond fish suffered by Xu Shao's original wife who chased and killed Ouyang Zi. Xu Shao personally told him that there were people in the Turkic royal court who had evidence. In addition, the group of people from the Western Regions led by Na Sebo, as well as the little maid, are all said in this way.

Xiao Shiji kept his eyes closed and did not speak.

Du Hengshuang waited for a long time, thinking that he was asleep, and did not ask, sleepiness came up, she was about to fall asleep in a daze, but she heard Xiao Shiji speak: "...... Got it. also gave Xu Shao. ”

"For Lord Xu?" Du Hengshuang woke up all of a sudden, she blinked, turned sideways, leaned on the pillow with her head propped up, and asked him: "That is the evidence of killing her father-in-law, how can you give it to Xu Shao?" ”

Xiao Shiji was a little surprised, he opened his eyes, looked at Du Hengshuang carefully, and couldn't help asking, "You don't blame me?" ”

"What do you blame?" Du Hengshuang didn't react, his eyes widened in the dark, his eyes were like a good obsidian, and when the light fell in, he couldn't come out again.

A smile gradually jumped on Xiao Shiji's lips, he stretched out his arm, took Du Hengshuang over, and let her sleep on his chest.

Du Hengshuang heard his powerful heartbeat and sighed slightly.

Xiao Shiji bowed his head in the dark and kissed her hair. said in a low voice: "This is what Xu Shao gave me......"

Du Hengshuang didn't understand what it meant at first, and he didn't make a sound. She lay motionless on Xiao Shiji's chest, listening to his powerful heartbeat, until Xiao Shihe's words just now settled in her heart, she raised her head suddenly, and said in amazement: "This is what Xu Shao gave you?" What do you mean? It won't be ...... Didn't Xu Shao die of a stroke? And suicide?! ”

Xiao Shiji nodded slowly, pulled Du Hengshuang down, and hugged him tightly in his arms, "This is what he owes me, and he owes my father." ”

Du Hengshuang's face was sad. She thought of her mother. Thinking of his younger brother Xu Yanchao. There are also the two brothers of the Xu family, as well as the grievances and grievances between the two sisters and Xu Shao over the years, and I don't know if I should feel sorry for him for a while. Or should I continue to hate him......

Xu Shao is kind to their Du family. But at the same time, it almost ruined Cher's life. No. Or rather, he once ruined Cher's life. It's just that in this life, Du Hengshuang struggled to survive. saved his sister.

Although he didn't want to cry, the corners of Du Hengshuang's eyes were still slightly moist.

She buried her head in Xiao Shiji's chest, rubbing away a little wetness from the corners of her eyes.

Although it was only a little wet, Xiao Shiji still felt it. He gently patted Du Hengshuang's back and said slowly: "Xu Shao used his death in exchange for not reporting his wife's sins to His Majesty. "This is also the only feasible way to protect the Xu family.

Otherwise, if Emperor Yonghui knew that the mastermind behind the pursuit and killing of his mother Ouyang Zi turned out to be Xu Shao's original wife, the entire Xu family would have to bear the anger of Emperor Yonghui.

Raiding homes and exterminating families is just around the corner.

Du Hengshuang bit her lower lip, sighed again, and said, "However, his wife has committed suicide, so she can be regarded as making amends, right?" ”

Xiao Shiji shook his head and said, "His wife is paying for the life of the former Empress Dowager Ouyang Zi. Xu Shao is paying for my father's life. ”

Du Hengshuang raised his head from Xiao Shihe's chest, looked at him in a daze, and said, "But he doesn't know ......."

He took over the whole thing after his wife's failed pursuit of Ouyang Zi. My dad was imprisoned, and he designed it. Xiao Shiji also had tears in his eyes.

On that day, Xu Shao confessed this matter in the study, which coincided with Xiao Shiji's speculation.

Ever since he knew that this matter was led by Xu Shao's wife, he had been pondering the role that Xu Shao played in the whole thing.

Although at the beginning, Xu Shao was very clean, everything was his wife's fault, and he had to rack his brains to plan for the family just to clean up the mess for his wife. Later, he was forced by Xiao Shihe to admit his real position in the whole thing.

Du Hengshuang was surprised, "He actually set up a bureau to arrest his father-in-law and put him in prison?" - It's too much! In vain, I used to think that he was innocently dragged into the water by his wife! ”

Xiao Shiji thought about it, but still didn't tell Du Hengshuang that Xu Shao had to set up a further situation and force Fang Yuniang to remarry him.

Since he promised Xu Shao, and Xu Shao also fulfilled his promise, then this matter is rotten in his stomach, and no one will say it.

Xu Shao was right. They are one husband and wife, and his wife's fault is his. Although my father was later arrested and imprisoned, it was also to clean up the mess for his wife......" Xiao Shiji hugged Du Hengshuang tightly, "We are also husband and wife." If you are at fault, I will bear it for you......"

Du Hengshuang was both sad and angry, but after hearing Xiao Shihe's words, she was a little ridiculous.

Gently pushing Xiao Shiji away, Du Hengshuang said with a straight face: "I won't do something dangerous for the entire family behind your back, you can rest assured." "She's not a princess, and she's not a princess. As a son of a good family in the Hanmen Shu clan, after her father left, she knew that in this world, she no longer had an excuse and backing to act arbitrarily.

Because no one will love her so unconditionally and cherish her without expecting anything in return.

Xiao Shiji looked at Du Hengshuang steadily, sighed in his heart, shook off the quilt, and covered the two of them tightly.

"It's getting late, let's sleep......"

……

The next day, Brother Ping and Sister Zheng came over to greet them, and asked them if they planned to go to Jingzhao Yin's Mansion to offer condolences.

Xiao Shi and Brother Ping prepared the car, and everyone went together.

When he came to Jingzhao Yin Mansion, Xiao Shihe took his four sons to be with the men in the outer courtyard, and Du Hengshuang took Sister Zheng to the inner courtyard to comfort his mother, and actually saw Zhu Susu sitting in the inner courtyard early in the morning.

Seeing Zhu Susu's tired face, Du Hengshuang came to his senses. Last night, the Xu family should have invited Zhu Susu to come over for first aid.

I don't know if Zhu Susu has seen how Xu Shao died......

Du Hengshuang pondered in his heart. said to Sister Zheng'er: "Your mother is sitting there, you go and comfort your mother." ”

When Sister Zheng saw her mother, she had long wanted to go over. But Du Hengshuang is her mother-in-law. She is married now, and she should be the Xiao family.

Fortunately, Du Hengshuang didn't care about this, and generously asked Sister Zheng to talk to her mother.

Sister Zheng thanked Du Hengshuang, went in and called Zhu Susu, "Mother, when did you come?" ”

Zhu Susu looked up and saw that it was Sister Zheng who was coming, with a smile on her face, and took her hand and said, "You are here." What about your mother-in-law? "Stand up and look out the door.

Sister Zheng said: "Mother-in-law has gone to see Mrs. Xu." ”

Zhu Susu knew that Du Hengshuang went to see her mother.

"Then you can sit with me for a while. Talk. Zhu Susu took Sister Zheng to stand under the corridor.

Du Hengshuang came to the door of Fang Yuniang's inner room.

The two maids opened the curtain and let Du Hengshuang in.

Sparing the carved floor cover, Du Hengshuang saw Fang Yuniang's face haggard, lying on the bed.

Xiahou Wushuang was holding a porridge bowl beside him.

I saw Du Hengshuang come in. Xiahou Wushuang hurriedly got up and said, "Eldest sister." ”

Du Hengshuang nodded. He took the porridge bowl from Xiahou's handsless hands. "I'll do it. You go and rest for a while, and your eyes are slumped. ”

Looking at Xiahou Wushuang's appearance, he probably didn't sleep all night last night.

Xiahou Wushuang shook his head. said: "I'll just wait outside, just call me if there is something." With that, he bowed and withdrew.

Du Hengshuang sat sideways on Fang Yuniang's bed, stirred the porridge bowl with a spoon, and tasted Leng Ran himself before sending it to Fang Yuniang's mouth and said, "Mother, you can eat some porridge." ”

Fang Yuniang looked at Du Hengshuang, and tears welled up in her eyes again, "Shuang'er, the master's body has always been strong, why did he suddenly have a stroke?" Isn't it me...... Am I an ominous person? ”

Du Hengshuang hurriedly put down the porridge bowl, took out a handkerchief to wipe Fang Yuniang's tears, and said softly: "Mother, Master Xu is also over seventy years old, this is a happy funeral, how can you have a relationship with an ominous one?" What's the matter with you? Does a woman have to walk in front of a man to be called auspicious? ”

"It's really not because of me?" Fang Yuniang struggled to sit up, took out the sachet from under the pillow, and handed it to Du Hengshuang, "This is what Shiji brought back to me from the Turkic royal court, I will give it to you." - Take it, you can keep this. ”

"What is this?" Du Hengshuang opened the sachet curiously and took a look, and his face changed for a while, "Mother, these are not true, right?" But when I remembered that Xiahou's family had said that he looked like the "side hat" Xiahou letter back then, I already believed most of it in my heart.

She is not like a woman.

Fang Yuniang was not mentally prepared at all, so she was suddenly thrown into this position.

But Du Hengshuang had already doubted his family's background because of his dealings with the Xiahou family back then. But because the people who knew what happened back then couldn't be found in the entire Central Plains, they couldn't do it.

It turns out that the person who knows the truth of the Tao and holds the evidence is in the Turkic royal court!

No wonder they used the relationship between the Xiahou family and the Chai family at the beginning, and they still couldn't find out at all!

But what about the proof now?

Not to mention the Northern Zhou, even the Great Zhou that destroyed the Northern Zhou has been destroyed, they are the old people of the previous dynasty, and they really have nothing to do with the present world.

Besides, Fang Yuniang is a daughter, not a son, and there is no possibility of inheriting the incense.

Perhaps the biggest effect is to let Fang Yuniang recognize her ancestors and return to her ancestors, change her surname back to Chai, and return to the Chai family in Qinzhou to worship her ancestors......

But if you want to recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors in a dignified manner, you have to make a decree from Emperor Yonghui himself.

However, the whole thing was carried out in secret from Emperor Yonghui, and it was impossible for him to know the truth.

Du Hengshuang smiled bitterly and stuffed the sachet back into his sleeve pocket, and asked Fang Yanniang, "Mother, who else knows about this?" ”

"I didn't say anything. Originally, the old man knew the way, and the scholar also knew the way. That's it. Yan Chao, Xue'er, I didn't say it. Fang Yuniang thought of Du Hengxue, and asked again, "What about Xue'er?" She didn't come back with you? ”

Du Hengshuang said: "The news of Lord Xu's death was only sent over, and it may take a few days for them to rush back." Besides, Xu Yanbang is still the envoy of Fan Yang for the time being, and he can't follow us back to Chang'an. When I go to Luoyang with Shiji and I, we will re-establish the Tiance Mansion, and then we will think of transferring them over. Or or. Xu Yanbang just wants to stay in Fanyang, so we can't force them to go with us, right? ”

In addition to Xu Yanbang and Du Hengxue, there are also Xiao Yanran and Lu Erlang's family, who are also in Fanyang, and they have not followed for the time being.

Fang Yuniang nodded, "It's good that they don't have a problem." I'm old, and I just want to see your family in peace. I don't want to be rich, as long as I can be safe. ”

Du Hengshuang fed Fang Yuniang porridge again, and watched her eyelids droop, as if sleepiness had come up. So he got up and called the maid in and watched.

Xiahou Wushuang also followed. Take care of yourself at the bedside.

Seeing that Fang Yuniang was asleep, Xiahou Wushuang also folded her clothes and lay down on the couch opposite.

Du Hengshuang nodded secretly in his heart, turned around and walked out of the house.

Zhu Susu was waiting for her outside.

Seeing her come out, Zhu Susu asked her, "Go to the back for a walk?" ”

There is a big garden behind Fang Yuniang's main house. It's just for walking on weekdays.

Du Hengshuang followed her.

There was no one along the way. Zhu Susu asked her unceremoniously: "What's going on with Brother Xiao?" As far as I know. Lord Xu didn't die of a 'stroke'. ”

Du Hengshuang's heart jumped, and his eyes flashed: "It's not a stroke, what is it?" ”

Zhu Susu raised an eyebrow. "Don't give me a sloppy look. What is not a stroke? Will you not know the way? You don't know the way, Brother Xiao always knows the way, right? ”

Du Hengshuang bit her lip, with a stubborn look on her face.

Zhu Su knew that as soon as Du Hengshuang showed this expression, she said that she didn't want to speak.

"Alas, in fact, don't hide it from me, Zi often told me. He was not surprised that Lord Xu had made such a decision. Zhu Susu sighed, stood side by side with Du Hengshuang on the edge of the pond, looked at the duckweed on the pond and said.

"You know everything and still ask me?" Du Hengshuang breathed a sigh of relief.

The fewer people who should know about this matter, the better.

But An Zi is often Xu Shao's nephew, and he is also a decisive person. This matter, presumably Xu Shao did not hide it from him back then.

Zhu Susu looked around, and saw that there was no one around, so he said softly: "Is Brother Xiao going too far?" What's wrong with Lord Xu? It was wrong for him to marry his wife, but he had already taken his life to his life, that is, why bother forcing irrelevant people? - Always each his own master. ”

Du Hengshuang said with a straight face: "You can't say that. I'm not telling you about this here. Let's go home and talk about it. ”

Zhu Susu nodded.

In the evening, I went directly to the Zhuguo Mansion with Du Hengshuang, and also checked Sister Zheng's pulse by the way.

Sister Zheng has been feeling unwell recently, has a bad appetite, and is lazy, Du Hengshuang felt that she had it, so she asked Zhu Susu to come over and take a look.

Zhu Susu cautiously checked her daughter's pulse, but she still didn't dare to say too absolutely, but said, "Let's see in a month." It's too early. Then he went to Du Hengshuang's main room to talk.

Du Hengshuang cooked tea and waited for her.

The two sat opposite each other under the south window and drank tea.

Du Hengshuang slowly said the events of the day: "I think you have heard An Zichang say it. Chasing and killing Ouyang Zi, causing her to die in childbirth, was the handiwork of Lord Xu's original wife. But then things didn't work out, after Ouyang Zi was rescued by Shi and his father, he came out to deal with the aftermath, and arrested Xiao Xiangsheng and put him in prison, and even tortured him in prison, and then killed him tragically, but it was Lord Xu's handiwork. This is what Lord Xu himself admitted. So between him and Shiji, it is the real revenge of killing his father. His wife is a mother-killing vendetta with the saints of today. Now you have to say that each is his own master, and it is forced to do so, and it will be unfair to the soldiers. Besides, even if it is its own master, it is also between Lord Xu and Shi and his father, which has nothing to do with Shiji. As a son, it is impossible for him to let go of the real enemy who killed his father because of the sentence 'each according to his master'. ”

……

In the outer study of Jingzhao Yin Mansion, Xiao Shiji was also facing Xu Yanchao's anger at this time.

Anzi often stood aside with his hands behind his back and did not speak.

Xu Yanhui was calmer, although he was also angry, he was still patient and told Xu Yanchao about the cause and effect of this incident.

Xu Yanchao didn't listen at all, tugged on Xiao Shiji's clothes, and asked him hatefully: "If my father is my sister's father, will you still kill your relatives in righteousness?!" ”

Xiao Shihe pushed Xu Yanchao's hand away, and said: "If Xu Shao was Shuang'er's father, that is, my father-in-law, he would not have been so insidious in the first place, arrested my father in prison, and would not have tortured him to death." This premise you are talking about is not valid at all! ”

After a pause, Xiao Shiji continued: "But if you want to drill the horns, you must ask what I will do if my father-in-law forces my father to death." All I can say is that I won't be with Frost again. The revenge of killing his father is not shared. Again, you can ask your sister. If my father had killed her own father, would she still marry me! ”

……

In the upper room of the inner courtyard of the Zhuguo Mansion, Zhu Susu was also asking the same question.

Du Hengshuang said lightly: "If Shi and his father kill my father, I will not be able to be a husband and wife with him in love and love." "The twists and turns between her and Xiao Shiji in the past were a problem between husband and wife, not an irreconcilable contradiction. But if it involves the life and death of the fathers, no one can be wronged, and no one is willing to give in.

Maybe some people can, and even feel that across the blood and hatred of their parents, two people are more interesting together, and they can better understand the "preciousness" of love.

But Du Hengshuang and Xiao Shi and these two people can't be. In this respect, the two of them are surprisingly similar and stubborn.

Zhu Susu listened to Du Hengshuang's words and remembered the Romeo and Juliet she had seen in her previous life. Although the two of them love each other fiercely, but separated by a family feud, their ending can only be martyrdom for each other. They didn't forgive me for killing your father, I forgive you for killing my father, and the two of them were happy and had a happy ending.

There are some things that love cannot overcome.

"Fortunately, your father is not Xu Shao." Zhu Susu said sincerely.

Du Hengshuang smiled and remembered Xu Yanchao. Maybe the relationship between him and her sister and brother is over here in this life.
