Xiao Shi looked surprised: "How do you know?" ”

Lin Ruan smiled casually: "The killers invited by Gu Lian are the people of the King of Chu, if it weren't for these killers, I wouldn't be suspicious of my mother's death, and it would be impossible to guess that he was involved with the King of Chu." ”

Xiao's expression was complicated, it turned out that there was a problem here. I don't know what Gu Lian's reaction will be if he knows.

"The king of Chu failed to compete for the crown prince that year, and he was unwilling, so he pulled some ministers and wanted to regain the throne. The Gu family wanted to keep their glory and wealth, but they were repeatedly suppressed by the emperor, so they secretly took refuge in the king of Chu and wanted to fight for the dragon. ”

"The King of Chu wanted to take the Shen family under his command, but after several attempts, the Shen family did not enter the set. It happened that Shen Mengjun, the only daughter of the Shen family, had reached the age of getting married, and she could not continue to stay at the border because of her poor health, so she was taken back to Beijing by Mrs. Shen and the Tong family to see each other, and the king of Chu asked the handsome Gu Lian to seduce Shen Mengjun. ”

"Shen Mengjun grew up at the border, the environment of the Shen family is relatively simple, and because of her frailty, the Shen family protected her too much, so that she developed a simple and kind character. Shen Lian just used some very simple tricks, and he hooked her so much that he would not marry. ”

"The Gu family has never been on the Shen family's list of sons-in-law, but they can't resist Shen Mengjun's insistence, and someone told Mrs. Shen that if you marry a daughter from a low door, your daughter can live more comfortably in her mother-in-law's family, so she agreed to this marriage."

Lin Ruan's fists couldn't help but clench, she originally thought that Gu Lian married Shen Mengjun, half because of her appearance, and half because of the power of the Shen family, it is estimated that everyone thinks so, but the result is very wrong.

It turned out that all this was arranged by the King of Chu, and Shen Mengjun and the Shen family were just his springboard.

"And how did my mother die?"

Xiao Shi glanced at her sympathetically, "After your mother entered the door, she was not loved by her mother-in-law because she was in poor health. Because the Shen family had to guard the border pass, not long after she married into the Gu family, Mrs. Shen and the Tong family returned to the border pass, and your mother stayed in Kyoto alone. ”

The Shen family gave her a lot of manpower, but in order to better control her, the Gu family coaxed her to let everyone go to Zhuangzi, which was really disobedient, and she was sold out on the surface, but in fact, she was dealt with by the Gu family. This process took the Gu family a few years, so your mother didn't notice anything wrong at all, including those subordinates, they all thought that Shen Mengjun didn't like them. ”

"After the people around him were dealt with, Gu Lian began to pass on some things about the King of Chu to your mother, wanting to brainwash her, originally thinking of borrowing your mother's hand to pull the Shen family into the camp of the King of Chu. As a result, I didn't expect that your mother was weak on the outside, but on the inside, she was extremely firm in her support for imperial power. ”

"It is estimated that because of the Shen family's family style, your mother noticed that the Gu family had taken refuge in the Dream King behind their backs, and if she wanted to help the Chu family seek to usurp the throne, she had to report to the Shen family. As a result, there was no one of her own with her at all, and the letter was intercepted. After your mother found out, she had a big fight with Gu Lian, and during the dispute, Gu Lian lost his hand and covered your mother to death with a quilt. When he found out that he had made a big mistake and was about to go out to discuss with the Gu family, he found you standing outside the door and saw everything that had happened. ”

"The Gu family used the fastest speed to do the funeral for your mother, and at the same time disposed of you, and at the same time sent someone to my hometown to pick up Xin'er, pointing to the portrait of your mother every day to teach her, it was her mother, and told her that if someone asked about her mother, let her keep crying. It was by such means that the Gu family hid from the world, so that the Shen family did not have the slightest suspicion. Because as long as they asked about Shen Mengjun, Xin'er would cry bitterly, and the Shen family only thought that she remembered that her mother was sad, so naturally they couldn't bear to ask again. ”

Xiao Shi said very calmly, but Lin Ruan's lungs exploded when he heard it.

Gu family, what a Gu family!

Gritting his teeth, he asked, "My mother has lived in Kyoto for a few years, hasn't anyone in the outside world seen our mother and daughter?" ”

Xiao grinned: "Speaking of which, this incident is still caused by your mother." She grew up in the border pass since she was a child, and because of her health, she was very quiet, and your mother was very uncomfortable with the way the ladies in Kyoto talked and did things, and after attending a few meetings at the beginning of marriage, she felt bored, so she used the excuse of poor health to block all invitations, that is, the house held a banquet, and your mother never attended. ”

"The Queen Mother and the Queen Mother took pity on her for her poor health, and because of the relationship between the Shen family, she was exempted from entering the palace every year to invite An to spend the palace banquet, so there are really not many people in the whole Kyoto who have seen her."

"You only appear twice at the full moon party and the first birthday party, and the people in Kyoto only know your name, but you don't see you. In addition, when you were born, you looked very similar to your father, and your mother mentioned it to the Shen family in the letter, so no one ever doubted Xin'er. ”

Lin Ruan clenched his fists tightly, "Then why didn't the Gu family contact the King of Chu anymore?" ”

There was a weird smile on the corner of Xiao's mouth, "Because Shen Mengjun died, the Shen family almost became an enemy of the Gu family, if it weren't for Xin'er, the Shen family would have been eager to calm the Gu family." King Chu's original plan fell through, and the Gu family was really useless, so he kicked them out. ”

"Seriously, the smartest thing Gu Lian has ever done in his life is to use Xin'er to pretend to be you, trying to achieve the goal of the King of Chu. Although it didn't succeed, it deceived the Shen family for ten years, and in the past ten years, although the Shen family ignored the Gu family on the surface, they actually took care of a lot for the sake of their granddaughter's face. ”

Thinking that such a good Shen family had been deceived by this group of bastards of the Gu family for so many years, Lin Ruan couldn't wait to rush to the Gu family immediately and beat them up.

Xiao Shi sensed the violence on Lin Ruan's body, and couldn't help but take two steps back.

But Lin Ruan endured it alive, and he definitely had to fight, but it wasn't time yet.

Xiao Shi looked at the sky and said anxiously: "I have already told you everything I know, can you go and save Qi'er now?" ”

Lin Ruan sneered: "Don't worry, I still have something to ask you." ”

Xiao Shi wanted to say that she didn't believe in her words, but she didn't have the guts, so she couldn't stop nodding: "Just ask whatever you want, as long as I know it, I will definitely tell you." It's just that I know, that's all, and I really don't know anything else. ”

Lin Ruan didn't doubt her words, after all, it was all here, and there was no need for the Xiao family to hide it.

But there is one thing, I really can only ask the Xiao family, "The Gu family should not leave no one behind, they must have kept some evidence of his collusion with the King of Chu back then, you should know where these things are placed, right?" ”
