Chapter 247: Secret Letter
Although it is now winter, I am still worried that Li's body will rot. Therefore, we have to find a way to preserve Lee's body. Fortunately, there was a lot of ice in Houfu, Huo Yan asked people to put ice cubes all around, and put a lot of spices in the coffin to prevent decay, everything was ready.
It's just that in this way, the mourning hall can't help but feel a little cold.
Lin Yingyue waited for the cloak, but because she was too embarrassed to be silent, she looked for something and said, "Calculate the time, Dad should be there in the next few days." When my father comes, we will send my mother's coffin back to Yangzhou and bury it well. ”
Su Yue cried for a while, but there were not so many tears anymore, and she gradually stopped crying.
She nodded, "Well, I hope Dad arrives soon." ”
Su Yue has a deep affection for the Li family, but she doesn't have much affection for her father. Originally, Lin Shizhao was doing business outside all the year round, rarely going home to get along, and he didn't pay attention to his daughter, especially her mediocre-looking second daughter, who couldn't say a few words a year. And the marriage that Lin Shizhao picked for her and let her marry into the Chen family made her complain about her father from the bottom of her heart.
Therefore, he didn't have any hope for his father's arrival, but just wanted to bury the Li family as soon as possible.
"Cousin-in-law." Jiang Yunxi came over suddenly, wore a plain dress, and said with a sympathetic face: "I thought that Mrs. Lin had passed away, and my cousin-in-law must be sad, so I came to see my cousin-in-law." ”
As soon as Lin Yingyue saw her, she was alarmed, and raised her eyebrows: "My aunt is sick, why doesn't my cousin accompany her?" If your aunt looks for you and you don't see anyone, wouldn't you be in a hurry? ”
Jiang Yunxi smiled slightly, "My mother fell asleep." ”
Lin Yingyue didn't say much.
Jiang Yunxi said a lot today, "Speaking of which, Mrs. Lin died and happened to stop in the Houfu, I should have come over to pay respects a long time ago." It's just that my mother was seriously ill a few days ago and couldn't leave anyone, so I only came today, and I hope my cousin-in-law won't blame me. ”
Lin Yingyue's mind moved slightly.
If you want to say that Jiang Yunxi will never think about worshiping the Li family in her heart, it is too strange to come here today. Besides, she didn't come early or late, why did she come over in time when Su Yue arrived? Could it be that he wanted to give Su Yue some eye medicine, saying that the Li family had a bad life before his death, so that Su Yue could not quarrel? In short, just be careful.
Just thinking about it, I heard Jiang Yunxi say in surprise: "Oh, this is my cousin's second sister next to me, right?" I look, the eyebrows and eyes are a little similar, they should be sisters. ”
Lin Yingyue couldn't get her out directly, so she had to introduce to Su Yue, "This is the daughter of Aunt Shizi, Miss Jiang." ”
Su Yue got up, "Miss Jiang is good." ”
Jiang Yunxi hurriedly said: "You're welcome, you and I are all of the same generation." I don't know what year you were born? Speaking of which, should I call you Sister Suyue? It's still Su Yue's sister. ”
He looks like he's ready to make a tirade.
Lin Yingyue couldn't help but become more and more upset.
Su Yue didn't want to answer, so she had to say, "I'm one year younger than my eldest sister, so I should be ......, older than Miss Jiang." After all, she is already married, and Jiang Yunxi is still dressed as an unmarried girl.
Jiang Yunxi nodded when she heard this, "So, I should call you Sister Suyue." ”
Su Yue hurriedly said: "Don't dare to be." ”
Jiang Yunxi was very polite, and said softly: "Yes, you are your cousin's sister." Then he said: "Speaking of which, Mrs. Lin is also a little blessed." My cousin-in-law is so noble and decent, and Mrs. Lin is just when she should be happy, so she went in such a hurry. ”
Lin Yingyue looked at her coldly and said, "Cousin Yunxi, if you want to worship my mother, go to the pillar incense." ”
A hint of reluctance flashed in Jiang Yunxi's eyes.
However, for the sake of planning, he still held back his disgust and put a stick of incense on the Li family, and said in his mouth: "Mrs. Lin is easy to go, there is a cousin to take care of everything, you can rest assured under Jiuquan." ”
Lin Yingyue kept staring at her tightly and didn't speak.
Who knows, Jiang Yunxi didn't continue to pester Su Yue after the incense, but got up and said: "My mother is still sick over there, I came to pay respects to Mrs. Lin today, and when I saw Sister Su Yue, I went back first." ”
"Okay, cousin, go slowly." Lin Yingyue wished she would get out of here quickly.
Jiang Yunxi didn't say anything more, and said, "Cousin-in-law, Sister Suyue's day mourns." Then he led the girl and went.
Lin Yingyue finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Su Yue was a little surprised by Jiang Yunxi's arrival, but she didn't care. After all, she was in a hurry to help the Li family, so that she could send it back to Yangzhou as soon as possible, and others were not interested. It's just that I vaguely felt that the eldest sister hated this Jiang Yunxi a little, so she couldn't help but ask, "This Miss Cousin, is there anything that annoys the eldest sister?" ”
Lin Yingyue sneered, "She wants to be the wife of the prince." ”
Su Yue's face turned white suddenly, and she couldn't help but remember that she also wanted to be the wife of the prince at the beginning, and this topic was embarrassing.
Lin Yingyue didn't say much, so she changed the topic, "Don't mention her." This matter, the prince has promised me to deal with it, and now I should be busy with my mother's funeral first. ”
"Hmm." Su Yue nodded and stopped asking Jiang Yunxi.
Lin Yingyue was in a mood of ups and downs.
was wondering if Jiang Yunxi had any conspiracy, when she saw the little girl suddenly running quickly, and said hurriedly: "Grandma!" Miss Jiang went to the inner courtyard. What did she say, since she came here, she would stop by to see Brother Xi'er and them. We ......, we can't stop it. ”
"Huh?!" Lin Yingyue was shocked when she heard this, and immediately got up, turned her head and said to Su Yue, "I'm afraid that something is wrong, you first guard the spirit of your mother here, and I'll go over and take a look." ”
Su Yue nodded, "Eldest sister, let's go, it just so happens that I want to accompany my mother alone." ”
Lin Yingyue hurriedly went.
As soon as he walked for a while, a mother-in-law sneakily touched her and approached Su Yue, "Miss Su Yue, here is a secret letter for you, be sure to check it separately." ”
Su Yue felt inexplicable and asked, "What letter?" Who gave it to me? ”
The woman threw down the letter and ran away.
Su Yue felt a little strange in her heart, but because of curiosity, she still opened the letter.
She only glanced at it, and her face changed greatly, "This ......, this is a letter from my mother?" It begins with the words: "The second daughter Suyue is intimate: Yingyue is not my own child, but your father's illegitimate daughter." She wants to detain Tianci and Jinyue and prevent me from meeting, for fear that there will be unforeseen circumstances for her life. If I die, I hope you don't argue with Yingyue, and you must send your younger siblings back to Yangzhou. ”
"Boom!" Su Yue's brain suddenly exploded with a thunderclap! She was so shocked that she couldn't come back to her senses.
My sister wasn't born to my mother? Is it Daddy's illegitimate daughter? Mother's ...... was killed by her sister?!
No, it can't be!
Su Yue was so frightened that she threw away all the letters.
After a while, she picked up the letter with trembling hands and looked at it carefully, but the more she looked at it, the more frightened she became! That's right, the handwriting on the letter should be mother's, but it's a little messy, as if the strength is not enough to write well.
In my mind, I couldn't help but think of a scene where Li was so sick that his face was pale, and he was trembling and writing a letter.
No! Su Yue quickly shook her head, wanting to get this scene out of her mind! She said in her heart: "No, how could the eldest sister kill her mother?" She just has a strong personality, loves to call the shots, at most she talks back to her mother, and there is no reason to hurt her mother with her own hands. ”
But once the seeds of doubt are planted, they take root.
Su Yue couldn't help but think more and more.
Seriously, the eldest sister Lin Yingyue is not like her mother, but similar to her father, is she really not born by her mother? And the illegitimate daughter of her father? And it's so good, how can Tianci and Jinyue be in Houfu? The most suspicious thing is that my mother is not very old and her body is fine, how could she suddenly die violently? The eldest sister can't say why.
Although, it can't be concluded that the eldest sister murdered her mother, but the mother is reasonable, and besides, what if the eldest sister really poisoned her mother?
So, do you want to avenge your mother? No, no, no, not to mention finding revenge for the eldest sister for his mother, his own safety alone is a problem. If the eldest sister really murdered her mother and found out that she knew the truth, then she ...... be able to poison her mother, would she still be reluctant to give up her sister? When the time comes, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of the Houfu alive.
Of course, Su Yue also understands that the letter may be fake.
For example, someone imitated his mother's handwriting and deliberately framed the eldest sister. But if this is the possibility, then as long as she gives the letter to the eldest sister, with her intelligence and means, as well as her position in the Houfu, she will definitely be able to find out the murderer. However, don't dare to gamble until your own safety is guaranteed!
Su Yue decided to wait, this letter can't be told to Lin Yingyue first, and her safety is guaranteed first.
As for when it's safe to do so? Waiting for my father to come? No, not insurance! Father can't fight against the eldest sister, don't look back and kill both your father and her, isn't it a tragedy in the world? Besides, my father only recognizes power and interests, and he may not feel sorry for his old and decrepit mother.
Not only will he not expose the eldest sister, but maybe he will wish that his mother was dead and marry a young and beautiful woman.
Su Yue thought about it, but it was better to wait for Li's coffin to return to Yangzhou before it could be considered safe. When the time came, he left the range of the Huo family in Yongzhou, surrounded by people from the Lin family. If the eldest sister is not filial, no matter how powerful she is, she can't murder her mother, and Huo Yan can't cover the sky with one hand! Besides, if Huo Yan knew that the eldest sister was so vicious, most of them would be afraid of her and hate her.
Even ......, divorce her or kill her?
It's a pity.
Su Yue couldn't help but think that if the eldest sister was really gone, wouldn't the prince have to remarry? Can't let Su Xinwan, who has fallen out of favor, take care of the children, right? If she hadn't gotten married yet, maybe she would have had a chance because of the children's aunts.
Mrs. Shizi is not qualified, the grandmother of the Huo family can always do it.
The more Su Yue thought about it, the more pity it felt.
"Grandma, watch out for the steps." Outside the door, there was a girl's voice.
Su Yue trembled in fright.
In a panic, he quickly carried the letter in his arms and hid it.
