Seeing that the Wu family was sneering at his daughter, Zhu immediately said: "Sister-in-law, even if Yan'er is not the sixth princess now, she is also the county lord of Anping who is personally named by the emperor. Sister-in-law is like this, does this look down on the current emperor? ”

When it comes to the emperor, the Wu family naturally doesn't dare to say anything more casually.

The old lady glanced at the Wu family, and sighed in her heart: I'm my uncle and niece, hey, if I don't have it in the future, I'm afraid the big house will become more and more bad. Over the years, if I hadn't favored them, I wouldn't have been the same for a long time.

"Okay, let's talk less. Sister Li is the most well-behaved and sensible, Dafang, how can you be a big aunt and worry about your niece, you are an idiot for a long time! ”

This is the first time that the old lady has reprimanded the Wu family in front of everyone, usually the Wu family has a layer of in-laws with the old lady, and she feels that she is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Changsheng Marquis Mansion, she speaks unscrupulously, and her behavior is not in order.

This time, the old lady was faceless in front of the two concubines, and the Wu family was suddenly very aggrieved, almost ignored it, and went out of Rongde Hall with her face so angry that she hung her face.

Not to mention how embarrassing the atmosphere was for a while, Uncle Liu's face was also embarrassed, he got up and arched his hand to Mrs. Liu: "Mother, don't worry about her, Wu has always been a brainless person, I'll go back and reprimand her now!" ”

"Talk to your daughter-in-law."

The old lady no longer had expectations for the big house, waved her hand, and let Uncle Liu go.

"Mother, my daughter-in-law is retiring." Seeing this, Tuoba and Zhu also got up and resigned.

In the blink of an eye, there were only two people left in Rongde Hall, and Mrs. Liu looked at Liu Mengyan who was kneeling on the ground with a straight posture, sighed and said, "The ground is cold, get up, Sister Li." Now only our grandparents and grandchildren are left, what are you doing, don't worry. ”

"Thank you grandmother for being compassionate."

Liu Mengyan stood up in response and walked step by step into the old lady Liu who was sitting on the stage.

In the flash of light, looking at this old lady who had always been too calm and regarded the interests of the Liu Mansion as much more important than family affection, Liu Mengyan hesitated a little for a while.

But at this time, she was in a dilemma, and she could no longer hesitate.

If the matter is not clarified with Mrs. Liu, Liu Mengyan knows that the old lady's death will inevitably be covered up by Second Master Liu and her good father who is full of profit.

One is prosperous, and one is lost.

Now she can't watch the accident happen to Liufu and become a funeral object for the battle of the heavenly family.

Thinking of this, Liu Mengyan decided to take a gamble and talk to the old lady.

"Grandmother, do you know that the old lady of the Jiang Mansion passed away some time ago."

Mrs. Jiang's death was too coincidental, and it was known to all Beijing.

Mrs. Liu didn't know why Liu Mengyan mentioned Mrs. Jiang at this time, so she didn't think much about it, so she nodded and sighed: "It's really a coincidence, it's not the right time for that old sister to die like your grandfather, and she actually died on her eightieth birthday." ”

As if she had noticed a faint connection between the two, Mrs. Liu held the hand of the tea bowl for a moment, stared at Liu Mengyan with cloudy eyes and said, "Glass girl, isn't there another secret to the death of that old sister in Jiang Mansion?" ”

Liu Mengyan first shook her head, then nodded solemnly, and said in an extremely solemn tone: "Grandmother, Mrs. Jiang, like the old lady, died unexpectedly, and was also murdered. ”

"It's serious!"

The old lady was taken aback, her thin hands trembled twice, and the tea bowl smashed to Liu Mengyan's feet with a "clang".

Liu Mengyan did not avoid or retreat, and her posture stood upright.

Mrs. Liu looked at her granddaughter in front of her with complicated eyes, since when did the grace on the glass girl have surpassed the sisters who grew up with her in the house. Even, she suspects that this lack of arrogance and impatience may not even be able to catch up with the second child in a short time.

"There is no lie in the granddaughter." Liu Mengyan calmly looked straight ahead, so frank that she let Mrs. Liu look at her.

"You go on, I remember that you went to Jiang's Mansion to pay respects to your birthday with the five girls and your mother Zhu that day. What the hell happened in the Jiang Mansion. ”

Liu Mengyan finally glanced at Mrs. Liu, then lowered her eyes and said, "Back to grandmother, Mrs. Jiang was poisoned by her own second daughter-in-law. ”

"What!"

If she knew that Mrs. Jiang had died unexpectedly, Mrs. Liu could still sit still, but at this time, she was so shocked that she stood up directly, and she didn't know how to react for a while.

"Grandmother, be at ease, let my granddaughter tell you carefully."

Liu Mengyan took a few steps forward and helped the old lady sit down, waiting for the old lady to come back to her senses, and then slowly talked about it.

In fact, Mrs. Jiang's incident was also found out by Dr. Xu. It's just that in order to protect himself, Dr. Xu, under the instruction of Yan'er, did not tell the truth to the Jiang family, but only told them that Mrs. Jiang was stuck in her throat with sour jujube cake, and she had difficulty breathing and suffocated to death. ”

The old lady had recovered from the initial shock at this time, and naturally sensed that the glass girl had more things to hide from herself, nodded and motioned for her to continue.

Liu Mengyan responded: "Grandmother, although the granddaughter doesn't know why the second daughter-in-law of the Jiang family, Zeng, poisoned and murdered her mother-in-law, this matter must be related to the third prince and the concubine Xuan in the palace. ”

"Old Sister Jiang is the great-grandmother of the third prince, an old man, whose eyes are in the way?"

The old lady said something to herself, and then fell into deep thought.

"Glass girl, I still don't understand. Even if what you say is logical, the death of Mrs. Jiang is inseparable from the palace, but what is the matter with this muddy grandfather? Your grandfather has long since resigned and has been at home for more than ten years, so why did you kill him? ”

"If you go back to your grandmother, your granddaughter doesn't know." Liu Mengyan said and shook her head.

The silver bells on the bun jingled, jingled, jingled, and lined with a strange spread of the dead Rongdetang.

At this time, Liu Mengyan, who was hanging her eyes, didn't notice at all that the old lady Liu who was sitting on the chair suddenly turned gray.

Liu Mengyan naturally couldn't tell the secret of her rebirth, although she already had some guesses in her heart, she couldn't say it.

After being silent for a long time, the old lady stared at the tea bowl at Liu Mengyan's feet with complicated eyes: "Do you think that the person who killed your grandfather and robbed the daughter of the Fu family was the same person?" ”

"My granddaughter doesn't know." Liu Mengyan still shook her head.

But she was already sensitive enough to perceive that the old lady was already suspicious, and this time she raised her head, and for the first time saw fear in the old lady's face.

Liu Mengyan knew that she couldn't continue to talk. If you show yourself too much, I'm afraid that it will arouse the suspicion of Mrs. Liu.

"Grandmother, the only thing that is certain today is that the old lady's death was deliberately done. Unclear of the enemy, the granddaughter thought that the matter must be reported to the official and handed over to the court to investigate the matter. ”

The old lady didn't say anything directly, but asked again: "Li girl, do you know that if you report to the official, your marriage date will be postponed, not to mention, as well as the Pengyun of the big house and the Pengheng of the second room, all of them will be affected." Pengyun's family affairs, as well as Sister Liu'er's family affairs, are all in the item. ”

The granddaughter understands that it is unfilial piety to ignore her grandfather's death in vain for the sake of marriage. In the future, the granddaughter will not be able to face her grandfather. ”

Old Lady Liu sighed and said, "You have this filial piety, presumably the old lady has a spirit in the sky, and I won't blame you for this." ”

Liu Mengyan knew that Mrs. Liu was working hard for the future glory of Liufu, and she would not easily give up the benefits of marriage.

So there was not much disappointment in his heart, and he continued: "Grandmother, what my granddaughter just said is just one of them. Second, even if our mansion hides the death of the old lady, what if the person hiding behind it comes to commit murder again? At that time, if someone in the house has an accident, it will be too late to regret it. What's more, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, how can the Marquis of Changsheng's mansion condone the perpetrators! ”

How can the old lady not know these truths, but in the face of interests, life and death can only be temporarily leaned back. Without waiting for Liu Mengyan to open her mouth, she waved her hand and said, "This matter is related to the future of everyone in the mansion, and I have to discuss it with your second uncle and your father." Glass girl, you go back first. ”

Seeing the old lady's expression of not wanting to say more, Liu Mengyan had no choice but to leave: "I hope that grandmother will think twice, and my granddaughter will greet you another day." ”

The old lady waved her hand, and not long after Liu Mengyan left Rongde Hall, her straight waist suddenly fell, and the whole person seemed to be old all of a sudden.

In a daze, she recalled in a trance that when she was young, she had seen the situation of being convicted and beheaded in the turmoil of the court. In the crowded vegetable market, all the men in the family were dragged out to cut off their heads, their heads fell to the ground, their eyes were not closed, and some were even children.

Think about those female dependents, one by one, they were tied hand and foot in reverse, picked by human teeth, or sold as slaves, or sold into the Qinglou as prostitutes, the scene was really miserable.

The children born to them shall be slaves to the male throughout the world, and the female shall be prostitutes throughout the life.

Her eyes were full of blood, and thinking of this, Mrs. Liu was not good for a while. Mother Qin, who was guarding the side, noticed that something was wrong with the old lady, and immediately invited the little maid outside to Rongde Hall.

It didn't take long for Liu Erye and Liu Sanye to receive news and rush back from the officials.

Liu Sanye didn't even bother to change his court clothes, so he walked straight to Rongde Hall.

Seeing the old lady lying on the bed, obviously in poor spirits, Liu Sanye hurriedly walked up to the old lady, pretending to be worried on his face, and said, "Presumably, my father has already reached Bliss at this time, and the old lady still has to take care of her body." In any case, the matter is not out of control. ”

Liu Sanye opened his mouth, and the old lady heard what he meant, and he ascended to Bliss early, which obviously meant not to report to the official.

The old lady originally wanted to hide this matter, and quietly buried the old lady's body first. But thinking of what Liu Mengyan said, she suddenly couldn't grasp it for a while.

was about to open his mouth, when the next person reported that Second Master Liu was coming.

"Mother, I can't help but report!"

Second Master Liu just heard the third child persuade the old lady not to report to the official, and after stepping into Rongde Hall, he said loudly: "The third child, as a son of man, how can you let your father die in vain!" ”
