Chapter Eighty-Three: A Mysterious Suicide Note
Listening to the old lady's words, Qin Yunuan's heart added a little coolness, she looked at the old lady woodenly, the old lady looked very weak, she said too many words, those things seemed to make her experience the unbearable tragedy she saw in the Ge family again, the pursuit and killing of people in the rivers and lakes, the temptation of other families, all this, until the Ge family completely surrendered to the imperial court.
Qin Yunuan was still holding the wooden box in her hand, and in an instant, she felt that this wooden box was like lead, if she guessed correctly......
"Inside this wooden box, is the map of the Leng family" The old lady is already angry, as if she is dying, "Now, I have handed it over to you, you have to remember, this map is the life of the Leng family, if the Sun family gets it, the Leng family will no longer have a place to use, whether it is for the Sun family or for the current emperor, the Leng family will be abandoned, and the root in your mouth will no longer exist." ”
"Old lady." It was the first time that Qin Yunuan had been given such a heavy responsibility.
"Since you said that you have the ability to protect the palace, let me see how capable you are." After the old lady finished speaking, the corners of her lips still remained slightly open, but she couldn't spit out any words, her eyelids were tightly pressed, and she seemed to be unable to open them anymore.
"Old lady." Qin Yunuan immediately stepped forward, she sat on the edge of the bed, and called the old lady softly, but the old lady was already motionless, her hands and feet were cold. Qin Yunuan was about to get up and call for the mandarin duck to come in, but she heard the old lady who had not spoken for a long time suddenly said coldly: "What are you panicking, Sun Miaoyang didn't tell you, I won't be able to die for a while?" The Sun family wants to enter the door, and I don't stay and have a few tricks with the old opponent I haven't seen for many years, how can I be willing to go like this? I'm tired, you go. ”
Qin Yunuan didn't dare to continue to bother, but she protected the black box in her arms tighter, this was a secret between her and the old lady, outside the room, Tingxue and Xi'er, who had been waiting, watched Qin Yunuan come out and immediately greeted her, but Qin Yunuan bypassed them and walked to the mandarin duck who looked a little depressed.
Mandarin duck is a big girl who has followed the old lady for a long time, and she is also loyal to the old lady, knowing that the old lady is already like this, it is inevitable that she will feel uncomfortable.
"The old lady is okay, if I were you, I would just be thinking about how to take care of the old lady and protect the old lady when the Sun family is about to enter the door." After Qin Yunuan finished speaking, he saw that the mandarin duck's eyes were a little like waking up from a dream, "Three days later, Sun Baozhen will enter the door, you and I should be careful." ”
The mandarin duck nodded silently.
And with just a cup of tea, the news that the old lady gave Qin Yunuan a mysterious agarwood box quickly spread to the second wife of Dongfu.
"Phew" The maid was applying beauty flower juice to the second wife's face, and was so soaked, the flower juice splashed, very embarrassed, the second wife simply wiped her face clean with a silk handkerchief, and said to the second old man who was lying on the bed leisurely smoking a hookah, "This old woman must have given something good to the little hoof;
。 ”
"If you give it, you give it," the second master looked like he couldn't support the wall with mud, "I don't understand, we have a lot of food and clothing, why do you always compare with the people in their big house." ”
"It's not for our son." The second wife is just annoyed that the second old man is not fighting and not fighting, "Hmph, that old woman is really too partial, this daughter-in-law died and began to put things to her granddaughter-in-law, anyway, she just didn't want to give us a little benefit." ”
"Shut up." The second old man nervously covered the second wife's mouth, "Sister-in-law has only been there for a long time, if you say so, you are not afraid that other people's unjust souls will come to you?" ”
"Phew, there are no taboos, no taboos" The second wife was busy patting the second master's mouth with her hand, "How do you speak, she won't look for me if she looks for anyone, besides, she can't live by herself, who let her hurt so many people." ”
The second lady raised her eyebrows, she didn't take this ghost to heart at all, and turned around and just wanted to finish the unfinished flower juice, but suddenly she saw a black shadow outside the window falling from the beam of the room, like a clang, appearing outside the window lattice, with a cloak like a woman, her head slightly raised, and she looked like she was hanging from the eaves.
"Ahh The second lady screamed, her index finger trembling and pointing to the dark shadow outside the window, trembling and unable to say anything else, and the maid who was waiting in the room screamed early.
"There's a ghost! There are ghosts! ”
The second old man covered his head with a quilt in a hurry, and stammered and scolded the second wife: "Look at you, let you talk less about ghosts and gods, sister-in-law, it's really not us who hurt you, you have to find it, you look for someone else, don't look for me, don't look for me." ”
"Come on, don't come soon, who is scaring me with a doll, let me find out, I must have picked your skin." The second lady screamed, and at this time the little maid and the grandmother outside had already gathered around, and a bold little maid poked the woman hanging under the eaves with a wooden stick placed next to the flower bed, and shouted inside: "Second wife, it is not like a puppet, but like a ...... Like a dead man. ”
He was even more bold to pick the dead body right with a wooden stick, brushed her hair and looked at it carefully, and immediately someone held back.
"It's not ...... Isn't this the Liao mother in the yard of the third young grandmother? ”
Soon, the news that Liao's mother was found on the eaves of the second wife's house spread to Ji Yuxuan.
At this time, it was about to dawn, and the team escorting the three princes to the imperial tomb really had a problem, Qin Yunuan sent Leng Changxi out early, and the two of them probably guessed that most of them were the three princes who lost their whereabouts halfway or something.
Qin Yunuan was about to get some sleep, when she heard Xue is hurriedly coming to report the news.
"Really?" For this news, Qin Yunuan was a little surprised.
"Absolutely." Listening to Xue's serious face, she couldn't believe the news, just because ......
"Leng Shuang obviously sent someone to watch Liao's mother's residence, how could this be?" Being able to successfully evade the care of Leng Shuang's subordinates, quietly transport people from the suburbs of Beijing into King Ning's Mansion, and be able to hang people on the eaves of the second wife so quickly and mysteriously, such a skill only made Qin Yunuan think of one person.
For the first time, Qin Yunuan felt that the situation was a little tricky.
When Qin Yunuan rushed with Tingxue and Xi'er, the subordinates were using hooks to lower Liao's mother's body from the eaves, the hanged person looked very ugly, his eyes were prominent, his tongue was three inches long, his whole face was blue, and the skirt was also stained with some discharged dirt, and the stench was unpleasant;
No one was willing to hold the corpse with their hands, one of the youngest guys was pushed to the front, he frowned and trembled and closed his eyes to touch Liao's mother's ankles, as soon as the person above loosened his body, the corpse fell heavily, the little guy opened his eyes, and Liao's mother's dead eyes were square, so frightened that he threw the corpse down and ran, and shouted in his mouth: "The corpse has changed!" Fuck the dead man's eyes are moving. ”
The second wife stood aside and stamped her feet: "Brute, come back to me, all of them are useless, aren't they just a dead?" What is there to be afraid of. ”
Qin Yunuan had been standing at the door for a while at this time, and took the opportunity to come in: "The deceased is the greatest, the second wife should pay attention to what she says." ”
As soon as the second wife saw Qin Yunuan, her eyes sparkled: "Yo, the third young grandmother is here, the third young grandmother said this easily, it was your nurse who died, you are not distressed at all, it is really strange." ”
Qin Yunuan glanced at her: "Mother Liao made a mistake before she died, I punished her to go home and think about it, but I didn't expect it to be this result." ”
"Hmph, you didn't expect more results" The second lady frowned, and regardless of the second master's eyes in the house, the second wife recruited a maid with a tray next to her, and there was a letter in the tray, in black and white, I couldn't see what was written, but there was a lot of content, "This is from the arms of this cheap maid, I taboo the dead man's things, I didn't touch them, most of them, it's left to the third young grandmother, in the end, it's the slave next to you, isn't it?" ”
Qin Yunuan bowed his head and said: "This is also a relic of Liao's mother, and no matter who it is for, now that Liao's mother is dead, it is better to hand over this thing to the old lady." ”
The second wife glanced at Qin Yunuan: "Sure enough, the relationship with the old lady is different, you expected that the old lady will definitely favor you." ”
Qin Yunuan had no intention of talking to her more: "I'm just talking about things, Xi'er, didn't the old lady send a mandarin duck over to ask about the situation when we came out?" When you went back to the old lady, you said that you found a suicide note from Liao's mother and wanted to ask her to look at it. "This is to directly ignore the second wife.
Liao's mother died in the courtyard of the second wife is like a weed that has spread wildly in Dongyuan and Aunt Tang's house, and recently from Ning Wang's Mansion to the capital and then to the entire Daqi is an eventful time, soon, everyone gathered in the Hexiang Courtyard, and even King Ning, who has been busy with court affairs, came back early and sat under the old lady.
The old lady looked still a little tired, but it was much better than the dying one Qin Yunuan saw yesterday, and everyone avoided it when the maid brought Liao's mother's suicide note, only the mandarin duck quickly opened the suicide note in black and white, and read it out loud at the signal of the old lady.
The first half seemed to be reminiscing about some of the past, and then began to tell Huang Dashi to find a good daughter-in-law, but the further back he went, the more wrong Qin Yunuan listened to.
"Third young grandmother, the slave and maid are loyal, but you drove the slave and maid out of the palace for your own selfishness, and the secret slave and maid about your life experience are still tight-lipped, whether it is for Aunt Yang's reputation or your glory and wealth in Ning Wangfu, the slave and maid can only die to show their sincerity, don't forget."
"What does that mean?"
Qin Yunuan frowned, she already had a bad premonition.
Ruan Ruyi guessed: "Aunt Yang is the biological mother of the third brother and sister, is it here that Aunt Yang's reputation is talked about?" The third brother and sister are not the biological daughters of Qin Taiwei, but wild seeds? ”
