Chapter 75: The Scapegoat
In the end, Han Zhao targeted the nursing home of a named Wang Cheng!
Under torture to extract a confession, Wang Cheng confessed honestly, it turned out that he had feelings for Qiu Lin before, and Qiu Lin also had some meaning for him, but Qiu Lin's brother disliked his poor family, thinking that his sister was delicate, and wanted to find a good family for her, so he forcibly broke them up,
And Qiu Lin got married and found out that the family had concealed the situation, and her husband also had a sick younger brother, who had to spend a lot of money on medicine all day long.
I thought that after getting married, I could no longer be a maid, but my in-laws asked her to continue to stay in Fucha Mansion to earn some money and share some of it for the family.
Qiulin had no choice but to do it, but she was indignant in her heart, hating her brother for ruining her love and her life.
Wang Cheng felt sorry for Qiu Lin, so he often comforted her, in fact, he also hoped that Qiu Lin could continue to stay in the mansion, so that the two could see each other often.
After a long time, the two who were already in love couldn't hold it, and Qiulin had already had a hole with her husband, and she was not afraid of being discovered, so she often rejoiced with him.
One day, Qiu Lin suddenly asked him to help her find some beads, saying that it was useful, and he helped her get them for the sake of good looks.
"She told me that she was going to poison her husband so that she would have the opportunity to be with me forever, and I believed it, but in the end, she wanted to ruin the face of the Ninth Lady!
Eighth Master Mingjian, the slave really doesn't know, he just wants to be with her, so he will agree to get Liuzhu, if he knows that she wants to harm the Ninth Lady, how can he stop her!"
Fu Qian also thought that he could detect the clues of Natai, but he didn't, only one Wang Cheng was found, his words should be half true and false, and Wang Cheng must still have something to hide.
Staring at him, Fu Qian asked tentatively,
"What is your relationship with Natai?"
When he heard this, Wang Cheng's pupils shrank, and he was obviously stunned, but he quickly calmed down again, saying that they were not familiar, but they had only drunk a few times with the brothers.
No matter how much he asked, Fu Qian didn't insist anymore, and ordered someone to return the matter to Mrs. Tai, Mrs. Tai saw other people's grandsons today, and became more and more flustered, thinking about how Yu's stomach hadn't moved yet, and he didn't bother to care about these trivial matters, since Qiulin was his best friend's younger brother and sister, let Fu Qian watch it.
Now there is no evidence, and Fu Qian can't tell Fu Heng that he suspects Natai, so he can only forget it, and after discussing with Fu Heng, he expelled Wang Cheng from the mansion.
Is this matter over?Yu Zhen always felt that there was a loophole, but she couldn't find it, I thought they had tried their best, and it was not good to complain about anything, but I always felt unhappy in my heart, and I didn't catch the person who really wanted to harm her, how could Yu Zhen feel at ease?
Fu Qian didn't really give up, but there were some things that were not easy to say clearly, so he thought of calling Fang Luo and asking her to pass on a word.
Fangluo should do so, and when he returned to Zhaohua Courtyard, he informed his master of the matter.
"Don't worry, madam, the eighth master said that he found out that Aunt Shu and her cousin Natai had dealings, but there is no conclusive evidence, this kind of thing is not easy to say, I am afraid that the ninth master will not be able to hang up his face, so he can only end it first, and in private he will continue to track down the culprit, so that Mrs. can relax." ”
"He mean, maybe Cousin Ershu is colluding to disfigure me?"
"Yes, the so-called Wang Cheng, eighty percent is also Natai's scapegoat, and the twists and turns are not easy to investigate, but the eighth master was afraid that you would not be happy, so he told you in advance, and also instructed that if you understand, don't mention this matter to the ninth master for the time being. ”
Nodding, Yu Zhen said, "I understand." ”
Fu Qian is a bystander, he can see it clearly, Fu Heng has always been sorry for Er Shu, even if he doesn't look for her anymore, he doesn't think she will hurt people. It's useless to say it, just don't mention it! If Ershu really has a fox tail, it will always be exposed!
This night, Er Shu received a note that Natai said that the eighth master seemed to be suspicious of him, and in order to avoid suspicion, he would not go to Yunchi Pavilion recently.
After reading it, Er Shu burned the note in the candle flame, and became more and more suspicious that Lao Ba had a lot to do with Yuzhen!
Otherwise, how could she be so concerned about her affairs? It seems that she has to think of finding out the news from those ladies and maids, and grab the handle of the eighth master!
On this day, early in the morning, Yu Zhen heard a noise outside, went out to take a look, and saw a few people outside the courtyard, carrying a large long wooden box, saying that it was a gift to the ninth master.
Yu Zhen thought that it was someone who begged Fu Heng to do something and bribed them, and just wanted to send them away, but they said that they were sent by Young Master Salashan, and they were willing to give the red sandalwood zither to the ninth master.
Even if it is a treasure, Fu Heng is not rare, it should be Tong Yun who likes it, I estimate this Salashan, I just want to borrow Fu Heng's hand and transfer the Zheng to Tong Yun!
Thinking of this, Yu Zhen shouldn't admit it, "The ninth master is not here, you better go back!"
However, they refused to leave, saying that they couldn't send things out, and they couldn't communicate with their masters, so Yu really didn't bother to pay attention, so they waited here and went back to the house by themselves.
After Fu Heng came back, when he heard this, he immediately refused to accept it, "I understand your master's kindness, so I should carry it back! ”
The brown-clothed man led by him thought that the master expected it to be good, and then said with a smile: "The ninth master misunderstood, it is not a free gift, but a sale, only ten taels of silver." ”
There are also people who come to the door to do business, this Salashan is really good at playing, Fu Heng naturally knows that the value of this zither will be thousands of taels.
After thinking for a while, Fu Heng responded, and immediately asked someone to give a hundred taels, and the man in brown panicked: "It doesn't take so much, ten taels is enough." ”
"The rest of the lunch boxes have been spent on running errands!" Fu Heng immediately walked into the courtyard with his hands in hand.
Yu Zhen listened to it in the room and asked him why he wanted to accept it, "You obviously know that Salashan is interested in Tongyun. ”
"After receiving it, he said that Li Shiyao bought it from Salashan, and asked me to give it to Tongyun, wouldn't it be wonderful!"
Hearing this, Yu was really amused, "Your little abacus is too fine, but it's cheaper Li Shiyao!"
"Why not? Anyway, the two of them are in love. ”
That night, Fu Heng invited Li Shiyao out for dinner, and informed him of the incident by the way.
"After returning from the western suburbs, I also planned to buy this zither and give it to Tongyun, but Salashan refused to sell it, only saying that it was not a matter of silver, and now he wants to give the zither to Tongyun, could it be that he also ...... Tongyun."
Fu Heng felt that eight or nine were not far from ten, "I heard Yu Zhen say that at the birthday banquet of the third princess that day, Tongyun got lost and met a nephew who blocked her way, and in the end, Salashan came forward to beat him and relieved Tongyun. ”
Li Shiyao and Salashan also have some friendship, so they borrowed a kite from him, "I told him that he was interested in Tongyun, he knew it, but he still wanted to fight?"
"With all due respect, if Sarashan really has this intention, his chances are better than yours, and it would be better for you to plan early. ”
Fu Heng's suggestion is not unreasonable, Li Shiyao thanked him immediately, and asked Fu Heng to help and ask Tongyun out to meet him.
"It's easy to say!" Fu Heng simply agreed, and after returning home, he asked Yu Zhen to tell Tongyun, Tongyun did not refuse, just because she also had a lot to ask him.
One afternoon two days later, the sky was cloudy and windless, but it was not hot, and Tongyun met Li Shiyao as she wished under the arrangement of her ninth brother.
Under the pavilion again, I saw the handsome boy from a distance, waiting in the pavilion, hearing the footsteps, immediately turned around, smiling at each other, Tongyun was so nervous that the palms of the hands were sweaty, for fear that the two would be embarrassed, to the pavilion, he took out a small box from his sleeve, opened it and asked,
"Is this hosta yours?" Although he had guessed that it was him, he still had to ask clearly, so as not to make a joke.
Li Shuyao didn't answer but smiled, "It's yours now." ”
To say so is to admit it. Tongyun lowered her eyes, didn't dare to look at him, and handed him the box ruthlessly, "Thank you for your kindness, I'...... I can't accept it. ”
Although the voice was small, he could hear it clearly! Li Shuyao's smile froze, his enthusiasm was shrouded in disappointment, and he asked her what she meant by this!
Pursing her lips, Tongyun didn't know what to say, and wrapped her hair around her braids helplessly, only saying that she shouldn't give it privately.
Looking at her stunned appearance, Li Shiyao already had a bottom in his heart, calmed down and asked her with a smile, "I just want to know, do you don't like this hosta, or don't like the person who gave you things." “
Tongyun felt that he was too good, and he was persecuting her? Such an attitude made her suffer a lot, and she sneered aggrievedly:
"What do you mean? Don't say anything, just give me something. You ask me why I don't accept it, so why do you want to send it? You're confused, do I understand?"
Hearing this, Li Shiyao looked at her in a daze, but he really didn't expect her to say this.
In a hurry, Tong Yun didn't choose to speak, and regretted it, at this moment, she only felt embarrassed, her face was burning like fire, and she just wanted to escape!
"I'm sorry, I'm a little out of shape, I ...... It's time to go back. “
Unexpectedly, Li Shiyao grabbed her wrist. Tongyun broke free in a panic, and met his affectionate eyes, which instantly softened, but seeing his solemn gaze at her, his voice was soft and soft,
"I thought you understood. My mind, so obvious, how can you not understand it?"
She wanted an answer, but when it came to this moment, she was afraid.
She timidly stepped back, and he followed her step by step, forcing her into a corner of the pavilion. Tongyun forgot that there was a railing behind her, and when she couldn't retreat, she leaned over and couldn't help falling backwards!
Li Shuyao immediately grabbed her waist, Tongyun raised her head in a panic, and met his eyes, as if they were full of tenderness and sweetness, about to melt her!
The corners of Li Shiyao's lips curled slightly, and he smiled slightly, "You are always afraid of me like this, as if I am a beast, can I still eat you?"
She is afraid, lost her soul, while facing him, she can't give up, this feeling, makes her panic, he is just good to her, and he doesn't know his attitude, who likes to guess!
When there was no response, but listening to him speak slowly, he said slowly,
"It's true that I'm abrupt! I thought I could surprise you, but I ignored the meaning of giving hairpins.
This hairpin was left to me by my mother, saying that I wanted to give it to my future wife. I thought that I would wait until my family told me about family affairs, and on the night of marriage, I would send the hairpin out, because I never cared about this hosta.
Until the first time I met you, I suddenly remembered this hairpin, imagined what you looked like when you wore it, and suddenly wanted to give it to you, and was afraid that you would refuse to accept it, so I came up with that method, I just wanted to please you, but I didn't expect it to cause you trouble.
Blame me for being inconsiderate, please forgive me. In fact...... I really want to ask, Tongyun, you, can you be of the same heart as me?"
