The fourth brother likes to listen to those miscellaneous things the most, whether it is Beiliang or Mulan in Nanyue, in the rivers and lakes or in the imperial court, he loves to listen, and he can't wait for someone to talk to him day and night.

Now that Xie Yun took the initiative to say that there was a strange thing, he was so unhappy that he was about to jump.

Several people sat in the small pavilion in the backyard, and the fourth brother felt bored listening to it, so he brought some food and wine, saying that it sounded more flavorful.

.....

I always feel that something is wrong, but I can't say it, I just feel that Situ Yechen has indeed been a little abnormal recently.

"Mu Jing, how is my mother? Is the poison detoxified? ”

That's the way to go.

The fourth brother rolled his eyes at me childishly, I didn't bother to pay attention to him, so I heard Mu Jing say: "It's okay, just rest for two days." ”

"That'll be fine."

Xie Yun said that two days ago, a little beggar in Beijing passed him a small letterhead, the beggar was about fifteen or sixteen years old, and his whole body was dirty, and he pulled him and stuffed it into his hand, saying that it was brought to him by the people in the palace.

He subconsciously thought it was Concubine Jing at that time, so he didn't think much about it or ask too much, so he took the letterhead and went back to open it to see.

But later I found out that it was not Concubine Jing, because there was only a simple sentence and a residential address in the suburbs of Beijing.

The content said that Murong Ling was not Murong Ting's child.

Xie Yun also hates Murong Ling, and has more or less some evidence of the evil that Murong Yuan has done over the years, but he is still one step away, how to provoke the civil strife in Murong Mansion first, and he has been looking for how to make a move.

Regardless of whether this news is true or not, if Concubine Jing knew about such an important matter, she would definitely find Limo to enter the palace in advance to explain it clearly, and then let Limo leave the palace to relay it to Xie Yun or Mu Jing, and would never casually ask someone to write a note and bring it to him.

He immediately went to Limo to ask, about Murong Ling's life experience, Limo also said that he was indeed unheard of, and he entered the palace overnight to ask Concubine Jing, and Concubine Jing said that she didn't know.

Xie Yunhou sent someone to look for the little beggar again, but after checking the beggar piles in the entire suburbs of the capital, he didn't see that person.

I could see that Xie Yun had some other conjectures in his heart, but he didn't say it in front of the fourth brother and Mu Jing, but when he said this, he had to glance at me from time to time, as if he was afraid that I would say something.

From beginning to end, I kept my mouth shut and listened to him silently like the fourth brother.

Inevitably, Xie Yun personally went to the place on the letterhead, and didn't find anything wrong the first time he went. So when my mother was there, I didn't mention it.

The second time I went up the next night, that is, last night. The house was not very large, and there were only five or six little maids scattered in it, all of whom were still young, and they all knew that Gu Gu was doing their own thing, and had no time to take care of anything else.

But he saw two familiar faces.

Ying Fan and Yin Su.

Ying Fan, who is Murong Ting's lieutenant general, has followed him for many years, as if he has been following him since he joined the army when he was young. And Yin Su is now Mrs. Murong and Murong Ling's biological mother.

"What??" The fourth brother and I spoke almost at the same time, equally amazed.

However, what Xie Yun said next made me stunned on the spot.

"I heard Yin Su say that someone wrote a letter to her, threatening her that she already knew that Murong Ling was not Murong Ting's biological child, and also knew some people she had harmed, and hoped that she could leave the capital as soon as possible, otherwise she would be ruined and swept away by the Murong family."

The fourth brother sneered, "So, Murong Ling is actually the daughter of that deputy general?" ”

Xie Yun nodded, "Yes, they said that they would go together, leave the capital together, and take Murong Ling with them." ”

I almost squirted out of the water, "Do they have brains?" ”

Xie Yun shook his head, and should be with me, "Naturally, there is none." ”

In fact, from when Ouyang Junyu said that period of the past, Xie Yun and I had doubts, and we didn't think that General Murong would be such a negative person, and Ruolian had seen her in Beiliangshui Jade Mountain Villa with her own eyes, if she was really ruthless, why bother running so far, and why bother going to Ouyang's house to visit the old marquis, and being looked down upon by others.

However, what happened back then, what happened, and why Yin Su became pregnant with Murong Ling and married into Murong Mansion so easily, I'm afraid only they know in their hearts.

Xie Yun continued to say that he also heard something.

Something that no one else dares to talk about.

After General Murong married Yin Su, he completely changed his temperament and became fond of messing with flowers and grass outside, family women, Qinglou women, merchant women, peasant women, but everyone who was eye-catching, they had to hook up, and they also liked to bring them to the house.

Many people know about this matter, in fact, this is detrimental to the reputation, but it must have been Murong Yuan used a method to suppress the news, and it didn't spread very much, and now there are very few people who know about it.

And those women, more or less, are pregnant, but coincidentally, the final result is either miscarriage or loss of mother and child, dystocia and blood collapse, fall into the pond, fall down the ladder..... There were all kinds of accidents, but neither Murong Yuan nor General Murong had ever cared about these things.

I was puzzled, the heirs of the Murong family are so thin, there are only Yiyang and Murong Ling, Murong Ling is still a daughter, and Yiyang is not liked by Murong Yuan, why don't they care about this heir? Doesn't it really matter if no children have been born for so many years?

Xie Yun's meaning is obvious, those who have miscarriages and died are all the hands of Mrs. Murong.

On the surface, she is gentle and kind, virtuous and generous, and she brutalizes her husband and concubine behind her back, such things are too many in South Vietnam, and it is not unusual, but if it is really her, it is too much, and not a single living child has been left for so many years.

And it seems that seeing that no one cares about pursuing it, she becomes more and more fearless, harming one after another.

I had just recovered from this big pile, and Xie Yun said one more thing, probably a little more recently, seven or eight years ago.

Over the years, among the concubines who have died one after another, there is a more miserable woman among them.

The woman was the daughter of a small merchant in the suburbs of Beijing, as soon as General Murong saw her, he liked it, brought people into the house, and stayed in her room all the time, and it didn't take long for the woman to become pregnant, General Murong seemed to really like her, and said that he would remarry her as a side lady.

Yin Su didn't say anything, but Murong Yuan objected, saying that if she gave birth to a son, she could be Mrs. Side.

The woman knew some things about Murong Mansion very well, and she also knew that before her, many pregnant concubines had died unexpectedly, and none of the children who did not die could be saved.

But she didn't know if it was a good fate or if she was more careful, and the child was still safe until seven months old.

But one night, she suddenly told General Murong that she remembered that there was an urgent matter at home, and she had to go back immediately.

She knelt down and begged General Murong at that time, no matter what, she must let herself go back, it was a very urgent matter.

General Murong had no choice, so he had to rely on her and sent a few people to send her back, but he didn't have time, so he didn't follow.

The next day the woman died.

It was a fire in the house, her father, mother and sister, a family of four, all died in the fire, and even the few people who followed her back to her parents' house also died.

In fact, as long as you hear it, you will know that it is not so simple. But like all the accidents that came before, no one said anything, no one cared, no one cared.

After General Murong found out, he didn't say a word of silence, and there was nothing to regret, he just said that he was destined to have no more children, which was God's punishment for him.

Needless to say, Murong Yuan didn't want to pay attention to anything at all.

And the reason why Xie Yun talked about this was because he asked people to go to the vicinity of the woman's mother's house to inquire a little, asked a lot of people, asked for a long time, and got useful information when he left.

An old woman secretly pulled Xie Yun aside and whispered to him that one night in the previous two months, she had seen a woman who was wearing a veil and couldn't see her face clearly. But then she saw her and was sure that it was the sister of the woman, who was crying alone on the edge of the house that had long since been in ruins.

I was shocked, "That mother-in-law, how can you be sure it's that person?" Didn't you say that they were all dead and alive back then? ”

Xie Yun's doubts at that time were exactly the same as mine, and I also asked her, how can I be sure that it is that person? Didn't they all die in the fire that year?

The old woman said that her two sisters were grown up by her, and her sister was good-looking, but her sister was not good-looking, and there was an ugly birthmark on her side face, which is why she never married back then, because no one wanted to marry her.

The old woman also said that she hid aside and heard with her own ears what the woman said, mother, father, sister, what a miserable death, and so on.

But why did the old woman tell you? I didn't ask this sentence, what I could imagine, Xie Yun must have wanted it too, he didn't mention it, there must be a reason for him.

In other words, shouldn't the first reaction of any ordinary person who inquires about the old things about seven or eight years ago be strange and wary?

Even if you have seen something, heard something, and know something, you should avoid suspicion.

She also pulled Xie Yun aside and secretly told him that it was hard not to feel strange to tell Xie Yun about such a big thing without saying a word.

I accidentally caught a glimpse of the fourth brother looking at me, with a smile on his face, I didn't know why I was a little weak-hearted, so I quickly shifted my gaze and looked at Mu Jing.

And Mu Jing lowered his head and drank wine, like an outsider, completely unconcerned about what we were talking about, as if he didn't care about himself.

The fourth brother smiled, "Then now we have to find a way to find that girl, and ask her directly what happened back then." ”
