Chapter 9: See Wei Dong
The next day, Yurun still got up before the hour, and after having breakfast with the old lady, the old lady ordered the cuckoo to send Yurun to the door of the house, and the guards at the door did not stop him. Hanyan helped Yurun into the carriage that the old lady had prepared a long time ago and left slowly.
Not long after, the carriage stopped at Shumoxuan, and Hanyan helped Yurun walk in. Shumoxuan looks relatively simple on the outside, and the four treasures of the study used by scholars are sold inside, Yurun carefully looked at the pen, ink, paper and inkstone in front of the cabinet, and occasionally frowned slightly.
A middle-aged man with delicate eyebrows and blue silk clothes stepped forward when he saw Yurun's uncertain appearance, and asked politely: "This young lady, I am the shopkeeper here, but the young lady is not satisfied with these?" ”
"I'm a picky person, can there be a better one?" Yurun replied embarrassedly.
The middle-aged man looked at Yurun and said, "It seems that Miss is also a particular person, and there is a better VIP area on the second floor." ”
"Then it's a hassle shopkeeper." After Yurun finished speaking, he stood next to him and waited for the middle-aged man to lead the way.
"Please follow me." The middle-aged man said and walked upstairs. Yurun followed with a cigarette.
The second floor is for the sale of the four treasures of the high-quality study, most of which are made by famous artists, or unique products collected from other places. The middle-aged man took Yurun through the commodity area to the most remote cabinet and stretched out his hand to press it, the cabinet moved to the side, and several people immediately dodged in, and soon the cabinet returned to its original position.
As soon as the door was closed, the middle-aged man knelt down: "Villain Wei Dong to meet the little lady." ”
"Hurry up." Yu Runxu helped him down and sat down on the main seat, then took out a stack of contracts from his arms, silver tickets and account books and put them on the table.
"Little Miss, this is what Madame left to you back then." Wei Dong looked at Yurun a little strangely.
"Uncle Wei, Yurun thanks you and Mama Li for your sworn maintenance back then, without your protection, Yurun would not be alive now." said that Yurun got up and owed a debt.
Frightened, Wei Dong stood up, "Don't dare, don't dare, this is what the minions should do." When the old marquis left Beijing, he did everything to stay in Beijing, and the forces just wanted to protect the eldest lady, the second lady and their children. It's a pity that the eldest lady and her only daughter in the Xiao family were all killed by adulterers, and the second lady was also framed by Su Yuemei's woman, and finally died of depression, all of which were ineffective in protecting the master. Speaking of this, Wei Dong's throat was slightly hoarse, and his eyes were also red, "Old Madam Hou couldn't stand the blow of losing her two beloved daughters in a row, and fell ill on the bed. If it weren't for the profound heritage of the Hou Mansion and the cultivation of various precious medicinal materials, the old lady Hou might have followed. ”
"Smack!" Yurun heard that her grandmother was sick and didn't hold the teacup for a while, and the teacup fell to the ground and shattered.
"It's the granddaughter's unfilial piety that makes my grandmother worry and sad to this point. Uncle Wei, what happened back then was not your fault. You can only protect in secret, and those people are doing evil openly and secretly, and you can't prevent it. If it weren't for me talking to Hanyan about money this time, I wouldn't know there were still people in Beijing. Alas, I will write a letter to you to bring it to my grandfather in a moment, hoping to comfort my grandmother's heart. Yurun thought of her grandmother falling ill in bed, so she couldn't wait to go over and have a look.
"Yes." Wei Dong responded, and then thought of something and continued: "Little Miss, in fact, the little ones on Prime Minister Xiao's side quietly went to the autopsy, and the eldest lady was already a few months pregnant when she died!" ”
"What? Mother, mother" Yu Run grabbed Wei Dong's clothes fiercely, suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing, eased his emotions again, let go of Wei Dong's clothes, and asked tremblingly: "Aunt is gone?" ”
"Yes. Not long after Miss Yuelanbiao was gone, the Wuhou Mansion moved to Jiangnan. Before leaving, the old marquis left a message to the eldest lady and told her not to rush to take revenge and wait for the opportunity. But the eldest lady has a strong temperament, she never believed that Miss Table died accidentally, she quietly investigated who Miss Table saw before her death, where she went, and then a year later, the eldest lady was gone, and Xiao Fu said to the outside world that the eldest lady was depressed because of the loss of her beloved daughter. But we have investigated, it should be that the person who was sent by Xiao Yuexin to keep an eye on her at that time found out that the eldest lady was investigating the cause of Miss Table's death, when Miss Biao was known as Xiao Zhuge in the capital, and even the emperor praised it, but Miss Biao, who was not only talented but also had high-level martial arts, died unexpectedly while praying in Chongfu Temple, which shook the entire capital, and soon after Miss Biao's death, Xiao Yuexin was in a hurry to marry Ning Wangfu as a side concubine, so those people did not dare to let the eldest lady die immediately, because in case Miss Biao died early, Xiao Yuexin was going to keep filial piety for her mother for three years, so she gave her a colorless and odorless chronic poison, and people who took this medicine for a long time would slowly die of heart failure. ”
Xiao Yuelan, who is Yurun, is in an extremely sad and angry mood at this time, that is her mother who loves her very much, when she was still Xiao Yuelan, her mother always said that she didn't have a brother and suffered a lot, and hoped that she could give birth to a younger brother in the future, so that her younger brother could protect her sister when he grew up. Alas, it's all their own fault! Back then, Murong Jianning begged his father to agree to the marriage, he didn't care, anyway, since ancient times, it has been the words of his parents. For Murong Jianning, I can't say I like or dislike it for myself back then, I don't hate it anyway, so I didn't object, but I didn't bother with him, but Xiao Yuexin always showed her innocent and well-behaved appearance in front of her, so she neglected a lot of things, and she didn't find that behind Murong Jianning's wolf ambition and Xiao Yuexin's simple kindness was actually a femme fatale! If he could have prevented Xiao Yuexin and Murong Jianning back then, he would not have died tragically, even his mother was not harmed, and his unborn brother was so innocent! Xiao Yuelan thought of this, and two lines of tears gushed out like a broken embankment. Thinking about the fact that after he was reborn, he endured humiliation and secretly lived without asking about the news of the Xiao family, because he was afraid that attracting the attention of the other side would be detrimental to his mother, but he never expected that his mother and younger brother had died tragically under their clutches early. Murong Jianning! And Xiao Yuexin! You're ruthless! The more you want to get that position, the less I will let you succeed! In this life, the poor Bi has fallen into the Yellow Spring, and you don't want to escape from my palm! I will pay you back all the pain!
Hanyan saw Yurun crying heartbreakingly, and wanted to go up to comfort him, but was pulled by Wei Dong and shook his head, Hanyan kicked his feet uncomfortably and walked to the side to wipe his tears. After a long while, Yurun finally stopped crying and just stared at the oil lamp in a daze. Hanyan brought warm water, took a warm towel and applied it to Yurun's eyes, and it was troublesome for the eyes to be found crying red and swollen.
"Little Miss, people can't be resurrected after death, so take care. The feud between the eldest lady and the second lady and Miss Yuelanbiao is still waiting for the little lady to take revenge. Don't cry like this in the future, it's not worth crying to break your body. Wei Dong stepped forward and comforted.
"I know, I won't let go of any of those people. There are two things that you need to do right now," Yurun said, and then pushed the things on the table in front of Wei Dong's eyes, "I'm going to go to school at Lingshan Academy next month, I don't feel at ease with these things in the mansion, and it's not safe to bring them with me, so I want to put them on your side for the time being." Also, are there any of our people over there at Lingshan Academy? ”
"Yes, Miss don't worry, and the little one will go there with me. Anyway, there are other people here, and the main task here now is to protect Little Miss and Young Master Jin. In the past few days, I will arrange the things here and go to the branch of Lingshan Academy first, and I will contact you when the little lady arrives. Wei Dong said.
"Do you have any news of my brother?" Yurun asked nervously.
"Miss, don't worry, Young Master Jin is now under the command of General Zhenguo. I haven't been in touch with you, mainly because I am afraid that Su Yuemei will know that he is still alive and make waves. It's just that there is an army there, and we can't get in. Wei Dong said.
"I see, I'll make another arrangement." Yurun nodded understandingly. "Another thing is that you go and check on my mother's affairs back then, and then keep all the human and material evidence, and when I enter the palace after I win the leader in Lingshan Academy, I will find an opportunity to ask the Queen Mother to help my mother overturn the case." The more Su Yuemei thinks that I will bear the name of a concubine, the more I will not let them get their wish. Now let them be proud for a while, there will always be a time when they can't laugh, and then there will be revenge and revenge! “
"Little miss, don't worry. It will be arranged before the villain leaves. Wei Dong responded.
Yurun nodded with satisfaction, then walked to the desk on the side, took the pen and wrote a letter to his grandfather, handed it to Wei Dong after writing, and left with a cigarette.
