Chapter 40: A Trip to the Jingwen Mansion
The summer heat is unbearable, Lou Wange has always been afraid of heat, although the room has put ice cubes to dissipate heat, but still can't stop the heat, she simply opened all the windows on the seventh floor, let the breeze naturally pour in, but feel a lot cooler, and moved a chair to sit by the window, one hand to support the head to look at the traffic outside the Hanxue Pavilion, quietly thinking about what has happened these days, but the more hard to think, the more complicated and confusing.
couldn't help but sigh: There are many things that are impossible to figure out now, so I can only focus on the emperor's affairs first, after all, the emperor's illness will not last long...... Thinking of this, her eyes revealed endless sadness, the emperor is the closest person she has in this world except for her mother and master, but the emperor's body, she is indeed helpless, only by fulfilling the emperor's wish will there be a trace of comfort. If you want to deal with the emperor's affairs, you must seize the time to disintegrate the forces of the court, thinking of Dongfang Xiu, who lives in the Cold Snow Pavilion, a ray of light flashed in his eyes......
At dusk, Lou Wange changed into a night suit and flew out on the seventh floor of the Cold Snow Pavilion, taking the light skills to the extreme, avoiding the eyes outside the Cold Snow Pavilion, and in a few breaths, Lou Wange came to the outside of the Jingwen Mansion. Looking at the exterior wall of the Jingwen Mansion, Lou Wange showed an unpredictable smile.
After taking a turn in the Jingwen Mansion, she finally found the elderly Jingwen Duke Dongfang De in the ancestral hall, he was kneeling on the futon in the ancestral hall, his eyes were full of affection, and a little tear was faintly hidden in the corners of his eyes: "Ruan Fang, I came to see you again, are you and your daughter okay over there?" It's all my fault, if I hadn't been negligent back then, you wouldn't have ......" A few muddy tears flowed out of his eyes, he was already old, and wrinkles climbed up his face, plus this, he looked even more helpless and pitiful, not at all like a murderer.
Lou Wange was also puzzled when he saw this scene: Dongfang De is so guilty and painful, he comes to this ancestral hall to commemorate every day, he should not be the leader of the fire case that year, but why does Hongsheng keep insisting that it is him? Could it be the Great Lady? But she has been missing for many years, how can she be sure? No, she still has to try this Dongfang De.
She completely hid herself in the dark, covering her mouth and pretending to be a vicissitudes of female voice: "Master." ”
As soon as Dongfang De heard this voice, he immediately stood up and looked around: "Who, who is it?" ”
"I'm Ruan Fang, master, I'm Ruan Fang, don't you remember me?"
Dongfang De's eyes lit up, probably because he missed her too much, and he really believed her: "Ruan Fang, it's really you, where are you, are you coming out, is it okay to come out?" ”
Seeing him so affectionate, she hesitated a little in her heart, and she didn't know whether it was right or wrong to do this, but she still continued to ask: "Master, I'm dead, and now I'm just a wisp of remnant soul." For so many years, I have been going around in the world and do not want to leave and reincarnate, but I just want to ask you again why you had the patience to set fire to me and our daughter. ”
"Set fire, set fire, Ruan Fang, I didn't, I didn't, how could I set fire to you? When I was in the study, people told me that there was water in your yard, but by the time I got to your yard, it was already in ruins. I hate it so much, I hate myself so much, if I had paid attention to you back then, you wouldn't have ......"
Hearing this, she frowned: Dongfang De's reaction was sincere, not like a lie. It seems that the murderer is really not him. But it's not him, how could Hongsheng be so sure that he saw and heard? And the eldest lady, why has she been missing?
"Master, don't be like this, I have never complained about you, but this knot has been entangled with me for so many years, and now that the misunderstanding has been solved, I think I should leave. It's just that before leaving, I want to see my sister again, I don't know if the master can call my sister, I have a few words to tell her. She continued to test Dongfangde.
Dongfang De shook his head: "Ruan Fang, your sister is in great pain because of this incident, and she went to Mida Mountain to eat fasting and chant Buddha, and she only comes back once a year." And don't let me go to see her, I'm sorry, I can't bring her to see you, Ruan Fang, your sister also feels sorry for you, if you leave, the family will be completely different......"
Lou Wange is strange: According to the investigation, Ruan Fang and her sister married into the Jingwen Mansion at the same time, and the sisters have never been in harmony with each other, why would Ruan Ling go to eat fasting and chant Buddha for her sister's death, is it a conscience discovery?
"Master, time is running out, I'm really leaving. Don't be sad, you have to take care of your body, you still have Xiuxiu. ”
Dongfang De panicked when he heard that she was leaving: "Ruan Fang, don't go, don't go, okay, I beg you." ”
Lou Wange couldn't bear it: "Master, I'm really leaving, forget me." After speaking, she turned around and left, she really couldn't see Jing Wengong's pain, if she stayed any longer, she would definitely be unable to help but tell him about Hongsheng's existence, if she did, before the facts came out, it would be a blow to Hongsheng and Jingwengong, for now, it is better to maintain the status quo.
"Ruan Fang, Ruan Fang, you speak, don't go, don't go, don't leave me......" Dongfang De called in pain in the ancestral hall, although he knew that Ruan Fang might never come back.
Every night after that, Dongfang De would come to the ancestral hall to call Ruan Fang's name, but Ruan Fang's voice never appeared again......
