Chapter 70: Falling short
Spring return for this "flying idle business", out of the guest house for several days, this day back to their own is also a temporary residence, in this acre of land can also be the master of the place, the mood was originally also comfortable, according to her temperament, after the tea and food full bath, it is time to refresh and sleep well.
However, as soon as Lan Ting entered Fenyang City during the day, he didn't wait to return to the mansion, so he said that he was going to see someone to arrange tonight's affairs, and he was obviously sure that Aunt Zhen would act immediately. Not to mention that when it was time to arrive, Bai's spirit appeared and relayed the discovery of Qu Out. Chun Gui knew that in the dead of night, Aunt Zhen and her accomplices would definitely kill again, and although she trusted Lan Ting to make arrangements so that there would be no mistakes, her hope for the outcome still made her unable to sleep.
And since Lan Ting went to "meet people", he has never met with Chun Gui again, or when he accompanied Mrs. Shen to dine at night, he listened to Zhao Xiaoliu chattering there, "Big brother is so easy to come home, and he is too busy to explain the Classic of Mountains and Seas to me", Chun Ting can confirm that Lan Ting has indeed returned, and he probably left Zhao Xiaoliu, who heard the news, aside, so that Xiao Liu complained so much.
Without an insider waiting for the news, Chun Gui had to listen to the advice to settle early, but Ju Sha, who was on duty at night, slept softly, the corners of her lips drooled, she was still turning over the pancakes on the bed, and from time to time she stared at the lotus lamp on the screen that left the night and was stunned, looking forward to the stars and the moon, and did not look forward to the Bai family and the half of the soul shadow that came out of the canal.
And the sky was dimly brightened.
Although Ju Xi slept heavily at night, he woke up very quickly in the morning, like a self-striking bell that had been adjusted, Mao Chu immediately opened his eyes, and found that Chun Gui was also open, and Ju Xi's eyes almost didn't pop out: "Why did grandma wake up?" ”
Her master is good everywhere, that is, there is a problem of sleeping in bed, when she is still a girl, she has to coax and destroy every day before she is willing to get up, especially in winter, shrinking in the bed, sometimes even to the master to coax her to get up to eat, but this is also a troubled thing when the girl was young, after the death of the master, the wife is not in good health, the girl has almost been serving the sick, and those years have not been comfortable anymore, this is still after marriage, fortunately the mother-in-law and husband are kind people, so the master began to relapse into the old state.
For this matter, Ju Shy's mother Song was not less worried, and she was worried about staying back in Beiping's Taishi Mansion, what should I do if my grandmother is so lazy, you must know that the married woman is not like the pampered when she was in the boudoir in her husband's house, Mrs. Shen is not there, but there is still a mother-in-law in the Taishi Mansion, and even the grandmother can miss the time in the morning every day, isn't it to be angry with the elders.
Chungui's response to Song's mother was: "I can use it for one day, and let me use it for one day." "A look that he can get by and care about his future pimplement.
So Ju Xi saw Chungui early in the morning with his eyes open, as if he was a ghost.
"There's something in my heart, where can I sleep, and it's really too hot at night, and I sweat all over."
Chungui didn't seem to notice Ju Shy's surprise, got out of bed and walked to the window, took a few deep breaths in the coolness of the early morning, and saw Mei Jealousy and several other maids walked in, some holding a basin, some carrying a pot, and some holding clothes.
Because of the service of so many people, it was very soon to clean up, in the end, it was young, although it was sleepless all night, after the Qingling was cleaned with mint soap beans, Chungui's face could not see a trace of tiredness, she also felt refreshed, and destroyed the maids to comb her simple hair in a simple bun, and wanted to take advantage of the time when there was no sunshine, go for a walk in the small garden, maybe Lan Ting got the news, and it happened to be idle in the morning, come in and tell her, the two can meet in the garden, save some effort.
How do I know that I just combed my hair smoothly, and I heard the voice of Song's mother outside the room to greet Lan Ting, Chun Gui hurriedly made gestures, draped a black hair, but did not forget that she is now only wearing a light and close-fitting middle coat, pulling down a coat on the sandalwood hanger on the waist of the carved railing, just put her arms into the sleeves, I saw the curtain move, Lan Ting came in, and Chun Gui also hurriedly stepped forward.
The morning light outside the window is still faint, so the indoor light is soft, under the cover of black hair, the woman's cheeks seem to be more delicate and moist, the posture of the draped hair, should be a little lazy, but she is the pace of the wind, a pair of eyes are vibrant, the person is standing, but the breath of the body is coming, there is no strong fragrance of fat powder, like a begonia flower, dyed with the freshness of the morning dew.
Lan Ting suddenly felt his heartbeat heavy, and then it seemed that from the exact place, there was a little bit of heat, like smoke, as the woman stood there and spoke, with her words, it began to fill his chest, and gradually he felt that even his throat and ears were a little hot.
It felt strange and strange, but it seemed to know why.
But in Chungui's opinion, Lan Ting is still the same as usual, he doesn't look like he has been sleepless all night, he is refreshed, neatly dressed, listening to her almost anxious inquiry, he is still calm and unhurried.
"When it was ugly last night, Aunt Zhen and another accomplice in the Wang family jumped over the wall, they wanted to use a plan to move the tiger away from the mountain, and Aunt Zhen assassinated Wang Ping'an with a dagger, but I didn't expect that Wang Ping'an was pretended to be a person arranged by me, and Aunt Zhen's assassination failed, and she was arrested together with the gangster."
"Aunt Zhen expected that Wang Jiugui would take precautions, and even dared to assassinate, which also proves that she is not a weak woman, Wang Ping'an is powerless in her eyes, if she adopts the assassination plan before March, where would Wang Jiugui think that it was her? Why waste so many twists and turns. After getting the results, Chungui was really puzzled again.
Hurriedly asked: "Who did Aunt Zhen and the three of them listen to, why did that person want to harm Wang Ping'an, and why did he poison the Bai family and the Zhou family and blame Wang Sanniang?" The third girl is just Wang Jiugui's daughter-in-law, pampered in the boudoir, and no one has a stake in her, why does the murderer have to implicate her? ”
"These questions can't be answered from Aunt Zhen's mouth."
"Why?"
Lan Ting shook his head, not without regret: "Although I have made all the preparations, and even because I am sure that Aunt Zhen is a well-trained dead soldier, and ordinary military officers are not her opponents, I have to use the connections of Jinyiwei, but I didn't expect that although I arrested Aunt Zhen and her accomplices on the spot, they still let them bite through the poison sac hidden in their mouths and become corpses that can no longer speak." ”
"Huh?!" Chun Gui can only let out an exclamation, in her life, it is really hard to imagine the existence of contemplation and Aunt Zhen, who regards killing people as her own responsibility, and does not even hesitate to commit suicide.
"But I think I can answer why Aunt Jane took such a tortuous approach." Lan Ting said again.
"Don't be quick to clear your doubts."
"Their task, at first should not be to kill Wang Ping'an, Aunt Zhen was ordered to infiltrate Wang's house, it should be to compete for favor and tempt Wang Jiugui to follow her wishes, but I didn't expect this plan to be unexpectedly frustrated, Aunt Zhen had to change her strategy and turn to tempt Wang San, but with Wang Ping'an, Wang San's actions will be restrained, it should be for this reason that Wang Ping'an has become an obstacle to Aunt Zhen, and it must be eradicated."
"I see." was only slightly prompted by Lan Ting, and Chun Gui felt that his eyes suddenly brightened: "Although Wang Jiugui is the head of the family, he has handed over the family business to several sons to share, in fact, Wang Ping'an, as the eldest son, has become the de facto head of the family, Wang Ping'an is alive, Wang San can't do whatever he wants, and Aunt Zhen's task should be something that the head of the family can't decide, so the killing of Wang Ping'an is to let Wang San exercise the power of the head of the family and use it for Aunt Zhen, she can't let Wang San be questioned, so she must do everything possible to keep Wang San out of the matter." ”
"This is indeed the reason why Aunt Zhen must marry others, Wang Ping'an has an accident, the beneficiary is Wang San, even if Wang Jiugui is unwilling to report to the official, he will inevitably suspect Wang San, in addition to Wang Ping'an, he also has a son-in-law, if the second son is recalled because of this, Aunt Zhen's plan will fall through again, so in order to be safe, she thought of a way to blame Wang Sanniang, although it is more troublesome, but the success is higher, just imagine, if Mo Wen did not intervene this time, attracting the two of us to participate, Aunt Zhen and Ning Si will not be suspicious, Not to mention Wang San. ”
"This doubt has been answered, but I am afraid there is no way to find out who the real culprit is behind the scenes." Spring return will inevitably fall to regret.
"Aunt Zhen has decided to spare no effort to support Wang San, and she is sure that Wang San can meet her needs, and she should show traces, such a thing happened to the Wang family yesterday, the two of them were dead at the scene, and Wang San is still detained in the mansion, Wang Jiugui is scruples about provoking official wrongs, and he will definitely come to the mansion to respond to the lawsuit, I will ask again, even if it is difficult to find out, maybe there will be clues."
"That's all there is to it." Chungui sighed, it was originally a brilliant look, but at this time it became listless.
Lan Ting saw it in his eyes, and for some reason, he proposed: "Why don't you ...... When I asked, Hui Hui also went to observe? ”
