Chapter 545: Rumors Rise 2
Of course Qu Xiaoxiang recognized it.
Even though Lin Ruo had previously handed her a token of "Yan Lingjun" and let her go. However, there is no monkey pattern around Yan Lingjun's token, but a peacock pattern. Even if Lin wanted to imitate it, it was impossible to take these details into account.
What's more, the son and the young lady of the Qu family have a personal guard, which is not something that an outsider can know. The number of guards can be more or less, like her, there is an emperor's edict, and the number of Yan Ling's army has exceeded 1,000 people. But if it is like his brother Qu Chun, even if he is a prince, he can only have dozens of personal guards on the surface.
As a married daughter, this pro-guard army can be inherited, but the Qu family will no longer support it, and most of these pro-guard troops are gradually declining and decaying. Unless, like Emperor Mingzong, he has the strength to continuously expand the Wing Fire Guard.
Then again, even if Lin Ruo could imitate the token, how could she just know that the former Qu Fifth Miss Qu Lianyang's personal guard was called "Qi Shui Wei"? How do you know that the staff of Qi Shuiwei is called Han Shizheng?
Qu Xiaoxiang also learned about such details and trivial things at home after reading a lot of old books.
From this point of view, what Lin Ruo said is true, she is really ...... Qu Lianyang's granddaughter! is really her cousin of Qu Xiaoxiang!
In this way, the Empress Dowager and Mrs. Xuanlu have a basis for Lin Ruo's blue eyes - because she has the blood of the Qu family flowing in her body!
Lin Ruo looked at Qu Xiaoxiang with a complicated complexion, took a sip of tea mixed with autumn pear paste to moisten his mouth, and continued to say: "Actually, I only found out about this not long ago. β
Then he returned from the north, passed by Pingyu, and encountered bandits making trouble, so he helped Pingyu County to suppress bandits in Hurricane Village and briefly recounted it.
"Didn't your uncle say anything?"
"Before, he didn't tell him about what happened on the way back," Lin Ruo's eyes were filled with sadness, "Uncle is worried about my safety, so he never wants me to obsessively find my sister's murderer, and he never mentioned anything about the Lin family." Of course, he also promised the imperial grandmother to bring this secret into the coffin. It's just that I didn't think about it, but I actually met my grandmother's former 'Qi Shuiwei' staff general and learned about these past events. My maternal grandfather was the eldest son of the Lin family, a wealthy merchant in Jinling, and he changed his name after a private agreement with my maternal grandmother for life; My grandmother is too, even if it is on the tablet, it is written by Lin Liu. They did this because they didn't want to be involved in the Qu family because of their willfulness. β
The elope of the draft woman with someone, once it is revealed, it is a big crime to punish the nine clans!
What's more, within these nine clans, not only Xuanhe's Qu family, but also the emperor and the queen mother.
At the beginning of Emperor Mingzong's ascension to the throne, there were rebellious ministers and thieves who rebelled, and even had the audacity to kidnap the empress dowager. After so many years, the government and the opposition are stable, and the people are peaceful, but who can guarantee what kind of catastrophe it will bring to the whole country after such a secret is revealed. When the time comes, each of them will become a sinner for the ages!
Qu Xiaoxiang took a deep breath and finally understood why Lin Ruo was so cautious.
It's just that she still doesn't understand, what does this matter have to do with Tang Men killing her brother.
"Before my grandfather eloped with my grandmother, I had engaged a family affair with the daughter of Lu Xian, the prefect of Jiangning at that time.
Qu Xiaoxiang's eyes widened, full of disbelief: "What? β
Lin Ruo nodded sadly: "This is the file I asked Boyu to check for me." LΓΌ Xian has always covered it up very well, until later, my mother was in danger to save the car, and the imperial grandmother recognized her as a righteous daughter, and my mother begged the emperor and the empress dowager to investigate the case thoroughly. I suspect that some of them have fled to Xishu and have been waiting for an opportunity to take revenge on the Lin family. However, the person I sent to Lingnan to visit has not yet returned, but I want to ** not leave ten. My sister ...... Most of them suffered because of the grievances of their ancestors. It's just that it affects your brother. β
Qu Xiaoxiang frowned: "Just to take revenge on your Lin family?" β
Lin Ruo nodded: "The imperial grandmother is thoughtful, even I don't know that my grandmother's surname is 'Qu', not 'Liu'." Otherwise, they would have exposed this matter a long time ago, wouldn't it affect a wider range of people? And you don't have to do it yourself. β
Qu Xiaoxiang pursed his mouth: "What you said makes sense, but ...... It was no coincidence that my brother arrived that day. It was Su Muqing who sent someone to send him a letter and asked him to meet there. β
Lin Ruo was stunned and blinked in disbelief: "How is it possible?" It was the day of the crown princess's wedding, how could she ......"
Seeing Lin Ruo suddenly shut down, Qu Xiaoxiang also sank his eyes: "You also thought of it, right?" On the day of the wedding, how could Su Muqing, as the bride, go to meet my brother? So, she made up her mind at the beginning and asked your sister to go. In order to conceal the past between her and my brother, she killed people and took your sister with her......"
"No way, she won't do it!" Lin Ruo blurted out, "She and my sister are best friends, she, she is still ......"
She also has a face that is exactly the same as Pei Nian!
Although her temperament was much different from Pei Nian, Lin Ruo never believed that Su Muqing would do such a thing.
Qu Xiaoxiang snorted: "You're too naΓ―ve, aren't you?" β
Lin Ruo was silent.
Qu Xiaoxiang put the token of Qi Shuiwei back into the box and pushed it back in front of Lin Ruo: "I believe what you say; You and I are cousins, and I believe. Thinking about this level of relationship, and also in the face of the imperial aunt and my aunt, I will not target you again, unless you do something that endangers the Qu family, I will not be your enemy. However, I would also like to remind you that the authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear. Su Muqing's suspicion is not so easy to clear. β
Lin Ruo bit his lip, and after a while, he slowly raised his head, looked straight at Qu Xiaoxiang, and said word by word: "Could it be that Princess Ning, who is friendly to you, is not suspicious?" β
Qu Xiaoxiang was stunned: "Do you suspect Sister Qin?" β
"Yes," Lin Ruo said firmly, "King Ning once fell in love with my sister, but...... The emperor didn't allow it, and my sister and Imperial Doctor Liu were in love. How do you know that Princess Ning ......?"
"Lin Ruo!"
Qu Xiaoxiang scolded Lin Ruo, but she quickly came back to her senses and met Qu Xiaoxiang's angry gaze without flinching. Qu Xiaoxiang slapped the case and said angrily: "You suspect that no one should doubt Sister Qin!" β
"Why?"
Jealousy is a woman's nature. The terrible thing about jealousy is that it is rooted in the deepest part of the human heart like a poisonous gangrene, and at the slightest opportunity, it will grow savagely, maximize the visible injustice, and manipulate the human heart to lose its mind.
Especially these women who have lived in the deep palace for a long time, their methods are vicious and ruthless, beyond imagination.
In this way, Qin Qin, who married King Ning but found that King Ning had another person in his heart, was there no suspicion?
Lin Ruo raised his head slightly, and the fierce momentum surged. () The female business lord has the fastest update speed. I want to talk about "Female Business Owl" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
