160. Eavesdropping
Too many years have passed since the matter of the eldest princess, and the people who knew about it back then have either disappeared or been silenced, even if they want to investigate, there is no direction to investigate for a while.
Liu Jun actually didn't care if his mother was the eldest princess, and even hoped that he wouldn't have anything to do with the eldest princess, he had a faint premonition that as long as he had a relationship with the eldest princess, something bad would happen.
He just wanted to know his mother's true identity and what happened to her back then, and if he didn't help her get justice, wouldn't he be a son of man in vain?
Lao Li Tou is completely thinking about him, hoping that he can have a strong identity, lest he be looked down upon by the Xie family and others, after all, as long as Liu Jiaojiao recognizes her ancestors and returns to her ancestors, she is definitely a fragrant bun in the eyes of many people.
However, it was not easy to investigate the matter of the eldest princess back then, or to investigate the true identity of Liu Jun and his mother, so the two of them coincidentally chose to change the topic, and after saying something about Qingxinfang, Liu Jun returned to the yamen, and Lao Li Tou continued to stand in the tree and ponder.
Song Chunhua walked under the tree with some trepidation, looking like she wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask, Lao Li swept her back, and sighed: "Second aunt, it's better not to know some things than to know, do you understand what I mean?" ”
Song Chunhua was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
She knows that she is not smart enough, but she also knows the truth of self-preservation, and it is indeed not a good thing to know too much.
scolded himself a few words in his heart, and then smiled at Lao Li and said: "Uncle Li, since it's okay, I'll go to the house to do needlework, seeing that Brother Zhao is also older, but he is a clumsy person, I have to prepare more things for her, which will be easy to use when I get married in the future." ”
Lao Li Tou knew that she understood her kind reminder, so he immediately nodded and said, "You go, I'll buy some food too, so as not to try the dishes on a sudden whim at night." ”
This matter is revealed, Lao Li Tou kept silent, Song Chunhua pretended not to know, but they all neglected one person - Brother Pan.
In fact, Brother Pan really didn't eavesdrop on purpose, but her impression of Liu Da and his wife was really bad, and she always felt that they were not good people, so when she found that they suddenly came to the door in the dark, and talked to Lao Li Tou and Liu Jun alone with the door closed, she subconsciously went over to eavesdrop.
Brother Pan is a smart child, and he has lived in this house for so long, and he has long been clear about the terrain, so he easily avoided Song Chunhua's sight, sneaked to the back of the house, and hid in the corner to eavesdrop on the conversation in the house.
In ancient times, there was no such thing as soundproofing, and the windows were basically paper-paste, so as long as you were close, you could hear the movement in the house clearly.
Brother Pan, who had eavesdropped on Cheng completely, did not leave directly, but continued to stay in place with a sluggish face.
The eldest brother is not the biological child of the Liu family? The eldest aunt actually married the eldest uncle while pregnant? This pile of old secrets directly refreshed the little girl's three views.
When Lao Li Tou and Song Chunhua went out and returned to the room, Brother Pan slowly walked out of the hideout.
No, she has to quickly tell Sister Jiaojiao what she heard, it must be grandma talking nonsense! They have always disliked the eldest brother, and now they dare to deduct the basin on the eldest brother's head!
Sister Jiaojiao is so smart and powerful, she will definitely be able to help her eldest brother clear her grievances.
Liu Jiaojiao was studying dishes with Erhu in the back kitchen at this time, and it was still early, and the guests had not yet arrived, so they had this free time.
When Brother Zhao led Brother Pan to find her, the little girl still looked angry and wanted to cry or not, she couldn't help frowning slightly, walked over and touched the little girl's hair, and asked, "What's wrong?" Did someone bully you? ”
Brother Pan nodded vigorously, bullying the eldest brother is equivalent to bullying her, there is nothing wrong with her.
Liu Jiaojiao just wanted to ask who it was, but the little girl suddenly grabbed the hem of her skirt and whispered, "Sister Jiaojiao, let's find a quiet place to talk." ”
Can't let anyone else hear it? Could it be that the person who bullied the little girl is an acquaintance? Liu Jiaojiao did not hesitate, directly took Brother Pan's little hand, and after handing over the kitchen to Erhu, she took the little girl upstairs to her exclusive box.
Brother Zhao was worried about his sister, so he naturally followed, and as for the others, after seeing Liu Jiaojiao's eyes, he gave up the urge to follow and obediently continued to stay downstairs.
After entering the box, Brother Pan instructed her sister to close the door like a little adult, and then pulled Liu Jiaojiao to the sofa to sit down, and then lowered her voice and told all the things she overheard.
Liu Jiaojiao had long been suspicious of Liu Jun's life experience, so she didn't have much reaction after listening to it, but Brother Zhao was shocked, and then gritted his teeth and scolded: "Impossible!" It must be that grandma wants to fix something again! They have never liked the uncle's family, but they must have seen that now that Jiaojiao is developed, and the eldest brother is also out of breath, so they deliberately make something to disgust everyone! ”
Brother Pan immediately nodded and said, "I think so too, grandma is really bad!" Sister Jiaojiao, you must find a way to help the eldest brother, and you can't let this kind of talk get out! ”
Liu Jiaojiao looked at the two sisters who were indignant, smiled slightly, and said, "Don't worry, I won't let these words get out." ”
Since Liu Da has been able to keep this secret for many years, he naturally won't tell others easily, and the Qin family is greedy for life and afraid of death, after being threatened by Liu Da and Lao Li Tou, he shouldn't dare to go outside to talk nonsense. But even if she really can't keep that mouth, she is not afraid, she has a way to shut her up, and now Liu Da will not care about having a wife who likes to cause trouble.
She most likely thinks that Liu Jun's mother is the eldest princess, but she doesn't know if his father is the monarch of the neighboring country who was forced to apologize for his crimes.
Don't blame her for having too big a brain, since ancient times, there are many secrets related to the royal family, how many of them are not so bloody that they ruin people's views? The tanuki can be sorted out such a strange thing as changing the prince, what else is impossible?
As for the difference in appearance, it is very easy to explain. In modern times, there are beautiful pictures, plastic surgery, makeup, these evil techniques to change people's appearance, ancient medical skills and strange people are not vegetarian, it is impossible to replace the whole face, but with the help of drugs or other means to change a person's appearance, it should be possible.
Aren't human skin masks and disguises just that? Especially the disguise technique, the system has rewarded her for this ability, so it is possible to change a person's appearance in this era.
She was more worried about her little brother than finding the truth back then, and suddenly knowing this would definitely have a huge impact on him.
Hey, I'm so worried about her little brother!
Thinking of this, she was no longer in the mood to stay in the store, so she took off her apron three or two times, and then asked Brother Pan, "Is my brother still at home now?" ”
Brother Pan shook his head and said, "No, when I went out, I deliberately looked around, and I saw my mother doing needlework in the room, and there was no one else." ”
"Then he must be back to the yamen." Liu Jiaojiao is very aware of her little brother's character, even if she suffers a big blow, she is not a person who will hide and feel sorry for herself, but the greatest possibility is to turn her grief into motivation and divert her attention by constantly working.
I said to Brother Zhao and asked her to inform the others that she was not in the store today, the back kitchen was in charge of Erhu, and the front hall was in charge of Niu Haoran, and then left in a hurry.
Brother Pan took his sister's hand and asked worriedly, "Sister, will the eldest brother be fine?" ”
Brother Zhao nodded affirmatively and said: "It's going to be fine, don't look at the eldest brother who doesn't like to talk, but he knows it in his heart, and isn't there still Jiaojiao?" She cares so much about her eldest brother that she won't watch him have anything to do. ”
"That's good." Brother Pan was appeased, and then suddenly stomped his foot hard, his childish face was full of anger, "Grandma is really bad!" The eldest brother can't get in the way of them, why do you always bully the eldest brother? ”
If it was a former Zhao brother, he would definitely echo his sister's words, Liu Da and his wife really haven't done anything good, but now Zhao Da's vision has broadened a lot, and he has learned to analyze people and things first and not blindly follow, so he didn't follow his sister to scold Liu Daqin, but raised his hand and touched his sister's head, and said warmly: "Forget it this time, don't hide and eavesdrop next time, it's not good." ”
Brother Pan nodded a little embarrassedly, it's really not good to eavesdrop on others, she is a good child, and she won't do it in the future.
Liu Jiaojiao was worried about Liu Jun, so she ran all the way to the mansion, but was told that Liu Jun had gone out with someone, and they didn't know where she went.
Although the town is not big, it is also extremely time-consuming to find someone aimlessly, and it is possible to miss it, so Liu Jiaojiao simply sat and waited in the mansion, and Liu Jun must come back first after being busy.
There was nothing to do today, Xie Ping'an was reading a book in the backyard, but he heard the rumor that Liu Jiaojiao was coming, so he immediately put down the book and went to the front yard.
Only Xie Ping'an, Zhu Zhen and Mama Zhao knew Liu Jiaojiao's true identity, but they all knew that this was Liu Zhutou's baby sister, so no one would snub her, so she not only arranged for her to sit and wait in the flower hall, but also specially served refreshments to make her wait more comfortable.
Therefore, when Xie Ping'an came to the flower hall, he saw his little cousin sitting there drinking tea.
"Jiaojiao, you really hurt my cousin, you didn't come to the mansion to find me, but to find Liu Zhutou." Xie Ping'an deliberately made a sad appearance, and the girls chirped with their right hands to make a heart-soothing motion.
Liu Jiaojiao had something in her heart, so she didn't bother to argue with him, just raised her eyes and glanced at him lightly, then lowered her head and continued to drink tea.
Xie Ping'an was stunned for a moment, then put away his joking expression, walked over to her and sat down, and asked, "What's wrong?" He could see that Liu Jiaojiao's expression was wrong.
Liu Jiaojiao put down the teacup and replied, "It's nothing, I just miss my brother, so I came to see him." ”
Liu Jun's life experience is not only related to the eldest princess, but also may involve the monarch of the neighboring country, which can be said to be a very important matter, so she can't tell Xie Ping'an.
Xie Ping'an was so smart that he could easily see that she was deliberately perfunctory, but he didn't ask, just smiled and continued to gag.
