Behind Xie Yuan, there were rockeries and stones, and the green bamboo next to him swayed with the wind and made a "rustling" sound, as if something was shuttling quickly, and it seemed that there was nothing.

Xie Yuan frowned and took the letter back into his arms vigilantly, and then tidied up the robes on his body and left the garden, probably because he was suspicious, Xie Yuan's steps were faster, and his body flashed through the moon gate, not wanting to collide with a maid.

The maid was startled, and the medicine in her hand was sprinkled on Xie Yuan.

The hot soup overturned and immediately soaked Xie Yuan's clothes.

"Second master." The maid was stunned for a moment, and immediately came back to her senses and took the handkerchief to wipe the medicinal juice.

"What else do you rub, quick...... Fast...... Take off the second master's clothes. ”

The housekeeper's mother, who was walking behind, happened to see this scene and hurriedly spoke.

Xie Yuan had already felt the burning pain, his clothes were soaked, and they were tightly attached to his flesh, even if he was pulling, he couldn't be soothed, fortunately, although the medicine was hot, it was not piping hot, otherwise how could he endure it.

After a moment of panic, Xie Yuan remembered the letter in his arms, and he immediately reached into his arms and took out the letter to check it.

Half of the letter was already wet, Xie Yuan only felt a tightness in his heart, he just wanted to find a secluded place to see if the things in it were damaged because of this, and he was looking for a way to go, and the maid who had just been in trouble had already cried: "What can I do about this, second master...... Have you ever burned it. ”

Xie Yuan was anxious in his heart, and his tone was very stiff: "I don't need you to serve, I'll go and change my clothes myself." ”

"What happened?"

A voice came, and Xie Yuan turned his head and saw Princess Jane.

The maid immediately knelt down and begged for mercy: "Princess, it was all the slave maid who accidentally sprinkled the medicine given to the princess on Second Master Xie. ”

When Princess Jian heard this, her face immediately changed: "What are you still doing in a daze?" Go and change my brother's clothes. ”

Several subordinates immediately surrounded him.

Xie Yuan wanted to excuse himself but couldn't get out, so he was escorted to the next room, and the subordinates took off the robe on his body with all hands and feet, only to see that the skin and flesh inside had turned red, but fortunately there were no blisters.

"Let's all go out," Xie Yuan said, "I'm not hurt, so I don't need to deal with it." ”

The subordinate replied and retreated.

There was no one else in the room, Xie Yuan opened the letter in his hand, the handwriting on it had been blurred by the water, but it was still vaguely recognizable.

Xie Yuan looked at these words in a daze, kept holding the letter, and waited until the water stains on it dried a little, then folded it and put it back in his arms, tidied up the clothes on his body, and walked out with his feet up.

Xie Yuan left the room for a long time before someone pushed open the plank under the Babu bed and climbed out of it.

The man was carefully dusting his body, and there was a sound of footsteps at the door, and the man tried to find another place to hide, but it was obviously too late, the curtain was lifted, and the people outside stepped straight in.

The man showed a nervous look on his face, but when he saw the person clearly, he breathed a sigh of relief, and saluted respectfully: "Mother Jiang." ”

Mother Jiang stepped forward: "Did you see it?" ”

The man said, "I see." Speaking of this, he lowered his voice and said it in Jiang's mother's ear.

Mother Jiang nodded and ordered, "Don't talk about today's matter, otherwise you know what the result will be." After saying that, he waved his hand and told the man to stand back.

Mother Jiang walked out of the house and went all the way to the garden, behind the pavilion in the garden, there was a small study, and Mother Jiang walked in lightly.

There was a man and a woman sitting at the table of the Eight Immortals, one of them immediately stood up when he saw Mother Jiang, and the other raised his head, it was Princess Jane.

"How?" The man asked eagerly.

Mother Jiang saluted: "See clearly, the second master really has a letter hidden in his arms." ”

Princess Jane's expression changed slightly: "What was written?" ”

Mother Jiang looked at the man again, and couldn't help but hesitate.

The man said, "There is nothing I can't know now, since I, Xie Yun, can stand here, I am ready." ”

Princess Jian nodded to Mother Jiang.

Mother Jiang said: "There are only four words."

There is a change, come quickly. ”

When Xie Yun heard this, his body trembled slightly, and he didn't know what the expression in his eyes was.

Princess Jian breathed a sigh of relief, her face didn't know whether she was sad or happy, and waved her hand to let Mother Jiang retreat, fortunately, it was not the worst result: "Listen carefully, it doesn't look like there is anything big in it, maybe it's not the handwriting of my nephew and daughter-in-law, don't worry, I'll ask Brother Yuan carefully tomorrow." ”

Xie Yun looked at Princess Jian in surprise: "Auntie, I didn't mention this matter to anyone, I didn't even tell Gao Tang, I came directly to the capital to find you, I just thought that you could make the decision for me, but now the evidence is conclusive, but you have lightly exposed the past, I only ask you one word, will you write a letter to the prince's brother in private, will you quietly sell the property of the palace." ”

Princess Jane's expression froze.

Xie Yun laughed miserably: "I know, I am a child of the side branch, far less than your cousin Xie Yuan, I shouldn't have come here to humiliate myself, I am really confused, I have always thought that our husband and wife are very affectionate, and everything in the family is taken care of by her, but I didn't expect her to be separated from me a long time ago, first replaced the calligraphy and paintings and ornaments in the family library with fakes, and then sold the property, if it wasn't for the fact that the rats at home broke the calligraphy and paintings, I took them to repair them, and I was kept in the dark."

After I found out, I didn't make trouble in front of my elders, and I thought that if she gave me a reasonable explanation, maybe I would forgive her, but she would rather take poison and kill herself than tell the truth.

The person is dead, I don't want to ruin her reputation, so many years of husband and wife ......"

Xie Yun couldn't speak, tears slipped down his cheeks, and he finally suppressed the choking in his throat: "What's more, there are two children under us, and I also have to think about the children, so I ...... was ready to bury her, and Xie Yuan came at this juncture.

At first, I thought it was a coincidence, Xie Yuan came to Changzhou to run into this incident, and then Xie Yuan didn't want to find out the cause of her death, and even wanted to blame her death on me, and then used the investigation as an excuse to look around for clues and look through what she left behind, so I became alert...... I quietly interrogated my mother beside her, only to find out that on the day I took the calligraphy and paintings in the library to repair them, she hurriedly wrote a letter for people to send to Huizhou, and she was obviously asking for help.

I inquired tightly, she knew that she couldn't delay any longer, so she went to a dead end, she was protecting Xie Yuan until she died, what are I and the child in her heart? ”

Princess Jian listened quietly, and then sighed: "It's not that I protect Xie Yuan, this is a big deal, we can't just suppress such a crime, Brother Yuan, he ......"

Xie Yun had a sneering look on his face: "Xie Yuan still has to gain fame, and the Xie family will rely on him to shine in the future, and our side branch is a stepping stone for the relatives and clansmen." ”
