Aunt Xie was locked up in the dungeon of Yan Mansion, but Yan Suwen knew that that small dungeon could not trap her.

can't be sleepy, but it doesn't mean she's not there.

Putting the note on the wick of the candle and watching it turn into ashes little by little, Yan Suwen blew out the candle flame and flipped out of Ning Xinzhai's back wall.

"Miss Jiang?"

Yan Su asked the front foot to leave, and Jiang Li and the other two secret guards landed in the empty courtyard.

"You guard the courtyard, and I'll follow Madame."

"But the prime minister has explained, so that we will not leave an inch."

"Madame must have her own plans when she goes out late at night, and even I can't let her notice that I'm following. You and I are both secret guards, and we know that even if the secret guards are high in martial arts, they will be negligent in the future. I let you guard the courtyard, that is, to guard the safety of your wife. What if I fail to follow up, and my wife returns to Ning Xinzhai halfway, and I meet the killer again? ”

"That, hard work Miss Jiang."

"It is the responsibility of you and me to be considerate of Mrs. Protector, why is it hard. Can Mrs. Yan arrange it over there? ”

"It's been arranged."

"But you can surprise the people in the courtyard?"

"No, I didn't."

"Alright, I'll go find Madame." Jiang Li said, jumped over, and disappeared into the night.

The door to the dungeon was open, and the brass lock hung nicely on one side of the door. Yan Suwen went down the steps, and just around the corner, he heard Aunt Xie's voice: "You are here." ”

"You know I'm coming."

"I know, because you are different from Yan Muyun, you won't watch me die, watch Wei Jie and Mu Xin die." Aunt Xie sat on the ground, looked up, looked at Yan Su who was standing outside the dungeon and asked, "It's not that I want to kill you, but someone wants to kill you with my hand." I think those people are ridiculous, but I'm glad you're better than I thought. ”

"Why do you think those people are ridiculous?"

"The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can survive a hundred battles, but those people didn't even understand what kind of person you Yan Su asked me to be, so they hurriedly threatened me and asked me to attack you. I don't know if they think too highly of me, the so-called aunt, or if they underestimate you, the second lady of the Yan Mansion. Why don't they want to think about it, if you are really as useless as that Yan Muyun, how can Gu Yanqing fall in love with you, and how can she willingly marry you into the Prime Minister's Mansion and love you very much.

These, even I, a woman who has lived in the house for many years, can think clearly and understand the truth, those people can't think clearly, can't understand. You say they're ridiculous, and they're particularly ridiculous. ”

"The poison of the Yan Mansion was placed by you."

"Yes."

"Why poison?"

"I had to do what they commanded." Aunt Xie looked up at Yan Su and asked, "You are still young, you are not a mother yet, you can't understand how far a mother can go in order to protect her children." Don't say that you poisoned those maids, but you poisoned the master, the old lady, and myself, and I won't hesitate for half a minute. ”

"What poison?"

"I don't know, I don't know, they didn't tell me, I didn't ask. Of course, I asked, and they wouldn't say. ”

"Where did the eldest uncle go?"

"They said they were taken away, but I always felt that the master was not taken away by them, but voluntarily went with them." 020 reading

"How much do you know about the affairs of the Yan Mansion?"

"How much does the second lady think my aunt can know?" Aunt Xie smiled bitterly at first, and then stood up: "Don't worry, since I sent a message to call you over, I don't plan to hide anything from you." I know and I'll tell you, but before I tell you, I want to ask you to promise me one thing. ”

"Auntie, please speak."

"Help me take care of Weijie and Mu Xin, I don't want them to get ahead in the future, nor do I want them to be prosperous and rich in the future, I just want them to be safe. Wei Jie, a child, has been diligent and hardworking since he was a child, but his talent is not high. But if you supervise, you can survive with those shallow medical skills in the future, at least you can have food and clothing. Mu Xin, I have more temperament with me, I don't ask for anything else, I just ask you to find a family with a solid family for her when she becomes an adult, so that she will not suffer in the second half of her life. ”

"These things, even if my aunt doesn't say it, Su Wen will do it. They are my younger brothers and sisters, and I will do my best to protect them as long as I live in this world. ”

"I, Xie Lingyun, believe in you." Aunt Xie said, kneeling on the ground: "This kneeling is not for me, but for my children." ”

"Auntie."

"As I said, since I called you over, I don't plan to hide anything from you." Aunt Xie coughed lightly and stood up: "Do you know how I got into the Yan Mansion?" ”

Yan Su asked and shook his head.

"I am a woman from an official family, and although my father's official position is small, he loves me very much. If it hadn't happened later, I would have found a wishful husband and lived a peaceful life. Aunt Xie sighed lightly: "My father was tracking down the whereabouts of an official bank, and following the clues, he actually found the head of the Qin family. My father found out that someone used the official silver to buy the Qin family's things, and the Qin family sold the goods and turned the official silver into private money.

If the Qin family is kept in the dark, it is okay, but through my father's verification, it is found that the Qin family is a very important intermediate link in the theft of official silver. For example, the normal market price of a pair of calligraphy and paintings is ten yuan, and what the Qin family sells is one hundred taels of silver. Of course, this calligraphy and painting is priceless, and the seller has the final say on selling ten wen or one hundred taels, and the buyer is willing to fight and suffer.

But not all the calligraphy and paintings of the Qin family are sold at a high price, and only when the other party brings official silver, the calligraphy and painting are sky-high. Just when my father was about to investigate carefully, he was falsely accused, saying that he was a corrupt official, that he bent the law for personal gain, and created several unjust cases.

The case was quickly handed over, and my father was also asked to be escorted to the state capital for careful trial, but strangely, my father had just left the county government when he suddenly suffered a catastrophe and was hit and killed by an out-of-control carriage.

It is said that this person is dead, and the case should be investigated more carefully, but those people above accepted bribes from the Qin family, not only did they not investigate carefully, but they determined that my father was a corrupt official, saying that he was hit by a carriage and killed that he committed suicide in fear of crime. Overnight, my Xie family changed from an official family to a criminal minister, and I also changed from an official lady to a criminal minister's daughter, and finally was sold to that kind of place. ”

"Then auntie, how did you know my father?"

"I deliberately arranged it. I know that Qin Wanru, the only daughter of the Qin family, married into your Yan family, and if I want to avenge the Xie family, I can only start with Qin Wanru. It's easy to think about, but it's hard to do, how can I, the daughter of a criminal minister in Hualou, enter the Yan family, and how can I get close to Qin Wanru. In order to achieve this goal, I thought about it day and night, and almost turned my hair gray. Later, I found an opportunity. Aunt Xie said and cut her hair: "There is a guest who is also an official family, but he secretly hid his identity and went to the flower building to have fun." I deliberately approached him so that he fell in love with me and willingly ransomed for me. In order to achieve my purpose and to appease him, I asked him to recognize me as a righteous daughter, and to create an opportunity for him to be friendly with the Yan family, and deliberately introduced me to your eldest uncle. My goal was accomplished, and he got what he deserved, and both parties were happy. ”

"It's not easy, is it?"

"It's not easy, but it's not easy anymore. It's really over, but that's actually it. I took the initiative to approach your eldest uncle, deliberately curry favor with him, and entered the Yan family as an aunt as I wished. I originally wanted to use my qualifications and skills to win people's hearts to provoke the feelings of your eldest uncle and Qin Wanru's husband and wife, and then see the opportunity to use the Yan family to deal a fatal blow to the Qin family. ”

"But you didn't."

"I did it, and I did it very carefully, but then I realized that everything I did was in vain. Qin Wanru's relationship with your eldest uncle is not good. On the surface, they are barely maintaining the relationship between husband and wife for the sake of the reputation of the Yan family and the children born to Qin Wanru. But in fact, they maintained the interest relationship between the Qin family and the Yan family. No matter how much I please your uncle, I will always be alone, and the Qin family tree has deep roots, and it is not something that a little woman of mine can shake at all. Besides, I really like your uncle, and I'm afraid that after I go too far, he will leave me or even drive me out of the Yan Mansion. I swallowed my anger, and even my own children were harmed by Qin Wanru, so I could only acquiesce. ”

"My uncle is not affectionate."

"I know, I have known for a long time, but a woman's heart is often not up to her own decisions. After my first child was gone, I was completely discouraged. After that, it was a few years of confusion, and it wasn't until I had Weijie that I found a reason for me to continue to stay in the Yan family and continue to live. Xu is heart has calmed down, so I see more and more things hidden in the shadows, and I found out that what your eldest uncle is secretly operating is not only related to the people in the court, but also related to many people in the rivers and lakes. ”

"Is my eldest uncle a member of Lord Xuan?"

"It's not!" Aunt Xie thought for a while and replied: "It should be said that your eldest uncle and Marquis Xuan are other people's people, as for who that person is, I don't know, but I can be sure that the person who is hiding behind the scenes is also the one who wants to blackmail me and let me poison the Yan Mansion." Although I entered the Yan Mansion with a different purpose, but for many years in the mansion, I have already regarded this place as my home, and I am unwilling and unwilling to watch my home be destroyed. In order to wait for you, I can only pretend to be crazy, I can only sell stupidity, and I can only do what they tell me first. ”

Aunt Xie said, from a light cough to a heavy cough, and then slowly sat down against the wall.

"Well, I've told you what I've done all these years, and what I know. The next thing to do is to ask yourself about it. ”

"Auntie, you're poisoned!" Yan Su asked and clasped Aunt Xie's wrist: "Why didn't you tell me?" ”
