Chapter 286: Husband and Wife Talk
For Gu Fanghua, Xiao Yao still understands it, and it will not be easy to sue and make the Queen Mother worried.
"Grandmother, don't worry, the county lord won't. I'm just worried, the second sister-in-law has been in the door for many years, if there is a real problem, what will the second brother do? Will it affect the reputation of the Marquis of Weiyuan? ”
Lord Fuling waved his hand and sighed: "The hundred-year-old foundation of the Marquis of Weiyuan Mansion was bought by the Xiao family in exchange for their lives, so that a daughter-in-law would not be able to destroy it. In my opinion, if you don't nod your head to the position of the son of this world, Xiao Lei won't get it, so let's go back to Beijing first. ”
"It's okay, it's just my mother's body, I'm afraid it won't last long."
Xiao Yao was a little gloomy, in fact, he had already asked the doctor, Xie's body and bones had collapsed, and now he was just surviving.
Lord Fuling covered his mouth and coughed twice, and said in a low voice: "This is all fate, so you can accompany her more, and don't let her know the bad things in the house." ”
"What about the Zhou family?"
The eyes of the Lord of Fuling flashed: "Don't worry, I will give you an explanation, maybe it's still two big fish!" ”
When Xiao Yao returned to Qingbo Courtyard, Gu Fanghua and the others were starting to eat the pot.
Beef bones are added with various medicinal materials, and the stick bone broth boiled out has a strong white flavor, which has another taste compared to the spicy hot pot in Zuiyuelou.
Xiao Yao first served a bowl of soup to drink, and then talked about the situation, and there were different opinions about Xiao Xin's rescue of the old lady.
Yan Shaoxun felt that since Xiao Xin knew that his wife had a problem, why didn't he just tell Wei Yuanhou and arrest the Zhou family? Instead, he wants to secretly deliver medicine, do you still want to keep Zhou's?
Zhong Zibin lamented that the husband and wife turned against each other and had different positions.
Yan Changxin is concerned about the Zhou family's problem, is she coerced after coming to the Xiao family? Or did the Zhou family marry her and have other plans?
Gu Fanghua and Zhong Taojiao are more concerned about how this matter will end.
Xiao Yao has been listening quietly and silently. With Wei Yuanhou here, he will deal with it, and he only needs to accompany his mother well and protect Gu Fanghua.
As for other people and things, he only needs to settle accounts with the Yue family.
Zhou heard that after the old lady woke up, she checked the box where the antidote was released, and then she knew that her husband Xiao Xin had noticed it.
As for why Xiao Xin didn't take her down and handed it over to Weiyuanhou, she also knew the reason. A hundred days of husband and wife, not to mention that he has not had a son and a half daughter for so many years, he and himself are still in love.
Zhou sat in front of the dresser for a while, and then ordered the kitchen to set up a table of wine and food, and then sent someone to invite Xiao Xin back for lunch.
When Xiao Xin came back, Zhou greeted him with a smile, and then retired and personally served him to take a seat.
Xiao Xincai came back from his father's study, a little tired, and stared at the Doucai Baiying tableware in front of him slightly, not knowing what to say.
It was Zhou who took the lead in speaking: "Erlang, don't you have anything to ask me?" ”
Xiao Xin smiled bitterly and said in a low voice: "If I ask, will you say it?" ”
"I will say everything I can say."
Hearing Zhou's earnest words, Xiao Xin raised his head, looked at his wife, who had always been gentle and virtuous, and asked tremblingly, "Why?" ”
"This is my mother's order, and I can't help it."
Zhou's task has not been completed yet, she still needs to stay in the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, whether she can stay a little longer depends on whether she can impress Xiao Xin.
Xiao Xin was a little skeptical: "My mother? She's been grounded by her father, I can't even go in, how can she send you a message? ”
"My mother has always hated my grandmother, you know, I can't give birth to children all these years, and you know that my mother has many complaints. If I don't drug my grandmother, then she will let you take a break from me for being unfilial. ”
Zhou said with tears in his eyes, but Xiao Xin slowly smiled: "Qian'er, am I so easy to deceive?" ”
"Erlang, you don't believe me?"
"I want to believe you, but you tell me. Why is the antidote to the poison of this fantasy grass in your dressing box? How did Cousin Yue die? How did the more than 20 Jurchen assassins get into the mansion? ”
Xiao Xin is not stupid, with so many flaws and clues, he can't convince himself to turn a blind eye.
Zhou's hand holding the wine glass, slowly tightened, and said calmly: "Since you know, then someone should arrest me, why do you want to come back?" ”
Xiao Xin closed his eyes and said lightly: "Are you from the Great Zhou Dynasty or a Jurchen?" ”
"Da Zhou, I am indeed the daughter of the Zhou family."
Zhou did not hide it, and replied calmly. Xiao Xin asked again: "Then who are you doing things for?" ”
"I can't answer you about this, but I can tell you that I attacked my grandmother and fourth brother because of my mother. Think about it, have I ever done something sorry for the Xiao family for so many years? ”
Xiao Xin didn't understand the Zhou family three times and twice, and pushed the matter to his mother.
"My mother has been grounded, you say it's her, can I believe it?"
Zhou slowly lifted the wine jug, poured a glass of wine for Xiao Xin, and said: "Whether you believe it or not, the Jurchen assassin is the meaning of her mother, she wants to get rid of Xiao Yao and let the eldest brother be the son." ”
Xiao Xin didn't believe it: "My grandfather died at the hands of the Jurchens, how could my mother collude with the Jurchens?" Speaking of the position of the son, my father has always been interested in the eldest brother. ”
"Mother and Xiao Yao are endless. How did your mother's illness come about, you should know. But you don't know yet, do you? On the way back from Xiao Yao, his mother rebelled against Xiao An and assassinated Xiao Yao. It's just that it failed, so after Xiao Yao came back, the lord of Mingzhu would target his mother everywhere. ”
Zhou knows that the most brilliant skill of lying is nine truths and one falsehood.
As long as it drags on for a few more days, the Jurchen army will come to the city, and their task will be completed.
Xiao Xin was really shaken, the Yue family's hatred for Xiao Yao, the three brothers knew it. If the mother is carried away by hatred and does something excessive, it is not impossible.
"What about you? What are you playing? ”
Zhou also filled the wine glass in front of him, and then raised his glass and drank it all. Laughed miserably: "I didn't get pregnant for a long time, and I was often punished by my mother. So I often go to the temple to ask for a sign to worship the Buddha, do you remember? ”
Xiao Xin was stunned: "I remember." ”
"Once, it was raining heavily, and I was stuck in the mountains and couldn't get down. The temple is remote and small, and there are only a few rooms in the guest house, and the people living in it are mixed. ”
Listening to Zhou's slow narration, Xiao Xin also remembered that about ten years ago, there was such a thing.
Xiao Xin slowly held the cup and took a sip gently to calm his mood: "I remember that early the next morning, I came to pick you up, when you were cold and sick, I still carried you down the mountain." ”
"Yes, but I'm not sick from the cold, I'm sick from the cold. Do you know? I killed someone. ”
Zhou said lightly, but the sadness in his eyes was so obvious.
"Murder, didn't you?"
Xiao Xin's expression became excited, and he crushed the wine glass in his hand.
