Chapter 367: Trap
Cao Wenfeng dragged Xie Yinghui and Ma Yurong all the way out, and waited until she couldn't hear the sound coming from her mother's room at all, before she stopped and breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, she probably came back to her senses and knew that her actions were too rude. If it's only Xie Yinghui, it doesn't matter, she can send it away with a few words, but Ma Yurong is still here, if she doesn't apologize properly, I'm afraid that her brother Cao Wenheng will also complain.
So she cautiously apologized to Ma Yurong and Xie Yinghui - the latter can only be regarded as incidental. Xie Yinghui has grown so big, and it is the first time she has seen this cousin so low-voiced, and she only feels that it is an eye-opener, and she realizes more clearly that she was really blind in the past, so she can't see that her cousin is such a snobbish person.
Ma Yurong didn't think much of Cao Wenfeng's reparation, and only looked at Xie Yinghui, and let her decide whether to forgive Cao Wenfeng.
Xie Yinghui asked Cao Wenfeng: "What do you mean by what Grandma Cheng said?" My aunt really saved Wang Meiru, and she plans to offer beauty to the East Palace?! ”
Cao Wenfeng was a little impatient with Xie Yinghui, and only in front of Ma Yurong did she suppress her temper: "My cousin also heard it, my mother said that there was no such thing, God knows how the second aunt of the Cheng family would say such a thing?" ”
Xie Yinghui sneered: "If it's really nothing, why should my aunt be so frightened?" Why did you and your cousin rush us away? Besides, Cheng Er's grandmother is as good as her aunt, and she has to give advice for her in everything, and she won't say those words for no reason, right? ”
Ma Yurong smiled and said, "Isn't it? If you brothers and sisters say that there is no problem in them, who will believe them? I've grown so big, it's the first time I've been dragged out of someone's house by my host, and it's really eye-opening. ”
Cao Wenfeng choked suddenly, and Xie Yinghui refused to let her go: "Tell us honestly, what's going on?" Which kind of relative is Wang Meiru related to her uncle? For the sake of this woman, she was able to ignore the life and death of our Xie family, and then take the risk to disobey her orders, violate national law, and hide Qin criminals, where did she put the Cao family? ! Does my grandmother know about this? My uncle's death is unknown, is it also related to this incident?! ”
Seeing that Xie Yinghui was about to put the responsibility for Ping Nanbo's death on Mrs. Ping Nanbo's head, and directly beat the latter as a sinner of the Cao family, Cao Wenfeng couldn't bear it anymore and refuted it angrily: "Xie Yinghui! You don't talk nonsense here! My father was killed by the people in the big room and the second room, what does it have to do with my mother?! You're less alarmist! ”
Ma Yurong lowered her face and looked at her, Cao Wenfeng was suffocated, and then gritted her teeth to restrain her temper: "Besides, my mother also watched you grow up, how much she loved you in the past, don't you even believe your aunt's words?!" ”
However, Xie Yinghui is no longer what it used to be, and she will no longer easily believe it because of her two words: "Grandma Cheng Er is also your own aunt, is it possible that my cousin also believes her words?" ”
Cao Wenfeng was speechless for a moment.
Ma Yurong smiled, took Xie Yinghui's hand and said, "Let's go, this Pingnanbo Mansion is going to drive the guests out, what are we doing if we stay here and are bored?" Xie Yinghui didn't say anything more, and just followed her out.
Cao Wenfeng fell behind helplessly, wanting to step forward to explain something, but he was afraid that Xie Yinghui would ask about things that should not be asked, and he didn't know what to do.
However, after Ma Yurong and Xie Yinghui got into the carriage and stayed away from Pingnanbo's mansion, she said to the latter: "In this scene today, I'm afraid that Cheng Er's grandmother deliberately acted it for us." It's hard to say what is the inside story of this rumor of Wang Meiru's fraudulent death. ”
Xie Yinghui is not a fool, of course she can see it. When Cheng Wang's grandmother Cheng Wang entered the main room, she glanced at the inner room that they had only entered. Under normal circumstances, she should have greeted Ma Yurong first. The two of them were standing there, and as long as they weren't blind, they couldn't be invisible. But Cheng Wang's family directly ignored them, and after entering the inner room, she revealed all kinds of secrets without any scruples, if she didn't mean to tell them, a fool would believe it.
No matter what kind of purpose Cheng Wang has for doing this, it seems that at present, it will not benefit Mrs. Ping Nanbo at all, and there is even some suspicion of being framed. Is this related to the rumors of Wang Meiru's fraudulent death? Did Mrs. Ping Nanbo save the mother and daughter of the Wang family? If not, how could there be such a rumor? And who told His Royal Highness the Crown Prince about this?
Cheng Wang's family put aside the revenge of killing his brother before, reconciled with Mrs. Pingnanbo's aunt and sister-in-law, had a close relationship, and even kept giving advice for the latter, is it related to the whereabouts of Wang Meiru's mother and daughter?
Xie Yinghui suspected that even if Mrs. Ping Nanbo did not save people, she was very likely to make a guarantee to Cheng Wang in this regard, so that the latter believed that she had saved people, so she would be willing to help her. And now, it is very likely that the truth is revealed, and Cheng Wang's family found out that he had been deceived, so he turned his face.
So the question is, are the mother and daughter of the Wang family dead?
Xie Yinghui's question, the Xie family also wants to know the answer. But they were now hundreds of miles away, and they could do nothing but write to the people left behind in Beijing to keep an eye on the news. Anyway, it is Pingnanbo Mansion that is in trouble now, maybe there is also the Cheng Wang family? As far as the Xie family is concerned, they are all enemies, except for Xie Xianzhi, Xie Yinghui and Wanqin, whose feelings will be more complicated, the rest of them are looking forward to their bad luck, so they just need to watch the play.
Xie Yinghui also mentioned some gossip from the Yongning Eldest Princess's Mansion at the end of the letter, it is said that Empress Cao was very dissatisfied with the crown princess candidate selected by the prince, but the emperor had already approved it, and she had nothing to say, so she had to carefully select among the three candidates, and choose the one who was most helpful to their mother and son. The concubines of the harem have been hiding from the limelight recently, but the second prince and his biological mother Lin Zhaoyi are very active in jumping up and down, and the officials under the latter's mother's family have already asked for a strict investigation of the truth about the fire in the Wang family...... And so on and so forth.
Xie Yinghui didn't say much about this, but the brothers and sisters of the Xie family still thought about it.
Xie Huizhi had a guess: "Who told the prince the news that Wang Meiru is not dead?" Could it be a trick made by the Lin family? Now no matter whether the mother and daughter of the Wang family are really dead or faked to die, it is always a fact that the prince picks the princess for this, right? He was dazzled by beauty, and the people on the second prince's side didn't double down on him? The prince and the Cao family should not have fallen into someone else's trap, right? ”
Xie Mulin said: "Whether it is a trap or not, the prince has also made his own choice, which is not wronged. There are more beauties in the world, even if there is no Wang Meiru this time, there may be a Zhang Meiru and Li Meiru in the future. He didn't like the emperor in the first place, but now that this shortcoming is exposed, I'm afraid that some will suffer in the future. ”
Xie Xianzhi sighed.
Xie Jinzhi looked at the siblings, smiled and said, "Okay, this is all someone else's business, and it has nothing to do with us." Now let's discuss how to persuade the eldest sister to move back to Huyin's hometown. The crown prince and the second prince of Beijing competed, and chaos gradually arose, even if the eldest sister had the protection of the eldest princess of Yongning, it was not a long-term solution, and it was safer to go back to her hometown to live. ”
Wen also nodded: "Indeed, Sister Rong'er is easy to do, and when she recovers, she will order someone to send her back." Sister Hui didn't respond, so Xianzhi wrote to persuade her again. ”
Xie Xianzhi suddenly cheered up and nodded.
