Chapter 76: Killing Two Birds with One Stone
The news of Ji Jinglin's death soon spread throughout Qingzhou City.
Because it was from the younger generation, the Ji family didn't do much to deal with it, so they disposed of the corpse.
Yun Rong naturally got the news.
Thinking of her previous words, Lu Nong couldn't help but ask with some curiosity: "Miss, how did you know that Prince Ji would definitely die?" ”
Yun Rong put down the book in her hand, looked up at her, and said lightly: "Because of Ji Jingyuan." ”
"Ji Jingyuan?"
Lu Nong was even more puzzled, frowning and thinking for a long time without understanding what was going on.
couldn't help asking: "Could it be that Ji Jingyuan killed him?" ”
Yun Rong shook her head and asked, "You say, what would you do if you had a son who was almost killed?" ”
When Lunon heard her words, her face flushed, but she still said truthfully: "We must find out the person who harmed people and seek justice." ”
"And what if this justice can't be obtained?" Yun Rong asked again.
"Why can't you ask for it?" The little maid was a little puzzled: "It is only natural that murder pays for life." ”
Yun Rong smiled and said, "It is indeed natural to pay for life by killing, but what if the victim is not dead, and the victim and the victim are still brothers?" ”
"Miss, I see."
As soon as she said this, Lunon instantly understood.
Yun Rong smiled and didn't speak.
Lu Nong continued: "Miss, the person who killed should be Mrs. Ji, right?" ”
Ji Jinglin almost killed Ji Jingyuan before, and Mrs. Ji has no evidence, so this justice is destined to be unrecoverable.
Even if it is evidence, it is impossible for Master Ji to let this kind of scandal get out.
In the end, the result is that the big things are turned into small things, and the small things are turned into small things.
And this time, Ji Jinglin happened to be injured by Yun Rong, and Mrs. Ji pushed the boat down the river to do something, and no one would suspect anything.
Master Ji's grudge can only be remembered on the head of the person who injured Ji Jinglin.
It really kills two birds with one stone.
He both cleared himself and took revenge.
Thinking of this, Lu Nong glanced at Yun Rong, and said with some worry: "Miss, then in this way, won't the enemy of the Ji family become you?" ”
Yun Rong said without worrying at all: "Then he has to be able to find out about me." ”
"But...... "Last time, she left a note for Master Ji, aren't you afraid that he will think of it?"
"Okay, don't be, I'm a little hungry, let's go see what's in the kitchen."
Lunon didn't finish before she interrupted.
glanced at her secretly, and had to retreat silently.
But things were really as Lu Nong expected, the bowl of lotus seed soup in her hand had not been drunk, and Master Ji came to the door.
It's just that this time, Wen Jin's face is not the same as before.
Before Master Ji stepped into the door, he was kicked out by Wen Jin.
"Brother Wen, what do you mean by this? I just wanted to ask, what do the four words that the cloud doctor gave me last time mean? Does she know anything inside? ”
Master Ji doesn't know why, obviously he was fine last time he came over, why didn't he see him for a few days, and he changed into a different person?
Hearing him ask this, Wen Jin snorted coldly, looked at him and said, "What's the matter?" You still have the face to ask me what's the matter? Go home and ask your good son. ”
When Wen Jin said this, he also seemed to remember Ji Jinglin's death.
glanced up at Master Ji and saw that he was much older, and for a while he couldn't help but feel a little soft in his heart.
After all, the mistake was made by Ji Jinglin, and it was not made by him Ji Huai, but there must still be anger.
Thinking of this, he thought for a while and said, "You don't have to go to Sister Rong'er, I'll tell you what's going on." ”
When Master Ji heard his words, he hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Brother Ji, please speak." ”
Wen Jin said: "On the day of the Qingming Festival, my wife and I went out of the city with a few juniors to go to the grave, and when we returned to the city, we met mountain bandits. ”
Master Ji nodded: "I've heard of it." ”
Seeing him nodding, Wen Jin continued: "The mountain bandits who attacked us that day were arranged by your good son, if it weren't for the enough people I brought, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to get to the door today." ”
When Master Ji heard this, he was taken aback, raised his head, looked at Wen Jin in disbelief, and only found his voice after a long time and said, "Brother Ji, is there any misunderstanding in this matter?" Jinglin is not that kind of person. ”
"Misunderstanding? Those mountain bandits locked up in the government have already confessed, will there be a misunderstanding? ”
Wen Jin looked at him and said coldly: "Your son almost killed our whole family, I didn't come to you to take revenge, you still have the face to run to my door, according to me, he deserves it, Sister Rong said that he should pay for his life when he kills, and it is right not to save him, you have time to spend with me here, why don't you ask your good son, what hurtful things did you do behind your back." ”
After he finished speaking, he didn't care what Old Man Ji's expression was, he turned around and entered the mansion directly: "Close the door." ”
The gatekeeper, hearing this, hurriedly closed the door.
'Bang' sounded, and Master Ji pulled back his thoughts.
He staggered down the steps in front of the door.
The fine rain hit the face, and it was cold and cold.
The attendant came to hold an umbrella for him, but he fell to the ground with a palm.
"Get out."
He said a word in a hoarse voice.
The attendant didn't dare to step forward again, picked up the umbrella and followed silently.
Master Ji never expected that Ji Jinglin would do this kind of collusion with mountain bandits behind his back.
The rain was not very heavy, but all the way back, Master Ji was already wet all over.
Mrs. Ji hurriedly welcomed him in and called the maid to prepare hot water.
After that, while undressing him, he complained: "Why don't you hold an umbrella under this rain?" ”
However, Master Ji didn't answer her words, just stared blankly at somewhere in the house.
Mrs. Ji ignored him, brought clean clothes over, and prepared to change them for him.
The clothes were only halfway through, but Master Ji suddenly grabbed her hand and said, "Madam, Jinglin can't kill people, right?" ”
Mrs. Ji gave him a hand to put on clothes, and then said, "What are you talking about, master, how can Jing Lin be such a well-behaved child, how can he kill someone?" ”
Hearing her words, Master Ji seemed to have found common ground, his eyes lit up, and he asked, "Then why did he die?" ”
Mrs. Ji's heart 'chuckled', and her heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
She raised her head and looked at Master Ji, and saw that he was staring at her with a dead gaze, and then quickly lowered her head, and said a little unnaturally: "Master, Jinglin has been settled in the earth, don't think about it so much, just treat it as if we have nothing to do with him in this life, I hope that in the next life, he can grow old in peace." ”
——————
Ji Jinglin's death is like throwing a pebble into a calm and waveless lake.
A splash of water is stirred, and there is no more sound.
June is approaching, and Qingzhou has gradually warmed up.
Mrs. Wen invited a tailor into the house, thinking about making a few summer clothes for Yun Rong and a few people.
After measuring the size, Mrs. Wen pointed to the cloth that she had moved out earlier and said, "Sister Rong, this is your uncle's new cloth this year, you can see which color you like, and the summer dress will be made with it." ”
Yun Rong looked at the pieces of fabric on the table.
There are ice silk, cloud silk, gold brocade, cloud brocade and so on, all of which are high-quality precious fabrics.
Wen Shuangyi next to her glanced at it, pouted and said, "Mother, why are you so partial?" You wouldn't make me a dress for such an expensive fabric on weekdays, so now you all moved to your cousin's place. ”
Mrs. Wen glanced at her and said, "You said that you would ask me for this and that all day long, what else would you do?" You have half of Sister Rong's peace of mind, don't talk about these fabrics, you just want the stars in the sky, and I will pick them for you. ”
When Wen Shuangyi heard this, she snorted with her nostrils facing the sky, turned around and held Yun Rong's arm and said, "Cousin, I just like that red Yunjin, can I give it to me?" ”
If her mother doesn't give it to her, can't she find her cousin yet?
When Yun Rong heard this, she smiled and said, "Yes, but there is one condition." ”
Wen Shuangyi was overjoyed, let go of her hand, picked up the cloud brocade, and said, "Don't say one, even ten, I will agree." ”
Yun Rong smiled secretly: "Really? ”
Wen Shuangyi suddenly had a bad premonition, but touching the slippery Yunjin in her hand, she still nodded resolutely and said, "Really." ”
"Before noon tomorrow, memorize the in the Book of Rites, and this will be yours."
"Ah" Hearing that the condition was endorsement, Wen Shuangyi's face collapsed suddenly, looked at Yun Jin in his hand, and then looked at Yun Rong.
In the end, he silently put the horse back and said, "I don't want this fabric." ”
It is more important than cloth or life.
After all, endorsement will kill her.
Yun Rong looked at her, smiled at Mrs. Wen, and then said, "I'm kidding you, take it." ”
"Really?" Wen Shuangyi seemed to be a little unconvinced.
Yun Rong smiled and nodded: "If I don't take it again, I'm going to regret it." ”
Hearing this, Wen Shuangyi hurriedly hugged the cloth tightly in her arms.
Yun Rong smiled, and finally picked the white silk.
The fabric will be cooler to wear in the summer.
Mrs. Wen looked at the fabric she picked and said, "I deliberately took a few brighter colors to pick for you today, I never thought that you still picked such a plain one, you have to wear more bright when you are young, don't always wear so plain, otherwise when you reach my age in the future, you won't be able to wear glamorous ones." ”
Yun Rong pursed her lips and smiled, but she didn't speak.
When Wen Shuangyi heard this, she 'cut' at Mrs. Wen and said, "Mother, you don't know this, right?" What kind of fabric of my cousin's color can get past her? ”
Mrs. Wen silently rolled her eyes and said, "That's what you say." ”
Wen Shuangyi laughed twice and said: "I'm telling the truth, just say that my cousin looks like this, don't talk about this Qingzhou, it's the whole Da Zhou, I'm afraid I can't find a second one, I think I have to find a cousin like this when I look for a husband in the future, it's too much, I can't look down on it." ”
Mrs. Wen stretched out her hand and poked her forehead, and reprimanded: "Girls' families, don't you be ashamed to talk about your husband all day long? Shame or not? ”
Wen Shuangyi touched her sore forehead, made a grimace at Mrs. Wen, and ran out.
It's just that before leaving, I didn't forget to hug her Yunjin.
Yun Rong smiled helplessly.
Just as he was about to speak, he saw Wen Xinyi hurrying from outside the door: "Cousin, it's not good." ”
