Lu Qingyi looked at Shen Xi's little face wrinkled, the corners of her mouth provoked a smile, and gently tapped the tip of her nose.

Shen Xi suddenly realized, and there was a slight throbbing in her crystal eyes: "I know, it was she who used the silver two plates brought back from the capital to get down to this inn and lived here for more than ten years." ”

"Well, the children can be taught." Lu Qingyi said while nodding with satisfaction.

Everything at the moment is the speculation of Lu Qingyi and Shen Xi, but soon, when Xiao Ran came back, it also confirmed the speculation in the hearts of the two.

"The owner of this inn has indeed moved here twenty years ago, and he bought the inn with real money, and paid the full amount in one lump sum along with the title deed.

This inn has not been in a good mood since 20 years ago, so this incident also caused a lot of sensation at the time. It's just that in the past twenty years, no one in the town knows her real name, and they just call her Aunt Sun. Xiao Ran said word by word.

Finally, as if thinking of something, he hurriedly added: "In addition, I have also asked other people, and confirmed that in the past twenty years in this town, only the young and strong have left to make a living in other places, and no one has returned here. ”

In other words, the person they are looking for is undoubtedly this Aunt Sun.

When Shen Xi heard this, he was quite satisfied, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It seems that you are really a talent from the Glory Bureau, and you have found out these in such a short time." ”

Xiao Ran was stunned, he had been working for the Glory Bureau all these years, just doing his own thing, not contacting others, and it was the first time he had heard of people's praise, and he couldn't help but respond: "Madam, you praised it falsely." ”

"Ahem." Lu Qingyi cleared her throat, looked at the two of them silently, and said, "Since she deliberately concealed her identity, then today, she must be suspicious of us." ”

Shen Xi and Lu Qingyi glanced at each other, and heard him say, "Without further ado, let's go meet her for a while now." ”

In the middle of the night, it was slightly cool, and the originally small town was dark and silent. The night breeze blows the unbuilt trees and flowers here, making a rustling and chirping sound, which looks lonely and cold.

Aunt Sun simply packed her bags, put all the silver she had in the package, and left here in a hurry.

But she never expected that the three people she was going to hide from were already waiting at the pass.

Shen Xi, Lu Qingyi, and Xiao Ran stood in front of the pass, looking at her with unswerving eyes, Aunt Sun was so frightened that her hands trembled, and the package also fell down alive.

"Aunt Sun." Shen Xi opened his mouth softly and said, "You used all your savings to buy this inn, and now because we came, you have to abandon it, isn't it a little too much of a loss." ”

"I ......" Aunt Sun gritted her teeth, and the words of rebuttal came to her mouth, but she couldn't say it.

She is now all ready, the package is still at her feet, and she can't quibble.

"We know who you are, and you should already know who we are." Lu Qingyi's voice was lowered, and he said silently: "Let's go, explain everything that should be said clearly." ”

Inside the inn.

The huge hall, with only two candlesticks, looks a little lonely. Yunxuan Pavilion

Lu Qingyi stared at Aunt Sun with burning eyes, and said, "Mama Zhao, you have been incognito for so many years, but don't forget, if you don't want people to know, you can't do anything unless you do." ”

"What nonsense are you talking about!" She opened her eyes wide, and when she heard Lu Qingyi call her name, she only felt numb in her hands and feet.

"Decades ago, you were the lady in charge of Concubine Lan's side, she trusted you very much, and let you arrange everything. At that time, Concubine Lan was very favored, but she was not loved by the concubines in the palace. Concubine Lan has a lady Lu by her side, who often goes to the palace to accompany her. ”

As if realizing something, Mama Zhao's eyes widened: "Are you...... You are the son of that man. ”

"So you should also know that today, you are destined to have no way to hide it anymore." Lu Qingyi's eyes narrowed slightly and said.

For a moment, there was a deathly silence.

Shen Xi seemed to be unable to hear the sound of wheezing, and he was nervously holding his breath.

It's been a long time, it seems like a long time has passed...... Mama Zhao closed her eyes sadly, since she couldn't hide it, she could only tell the old things truthfully.

"I don't have a good memory, but even after so many years, I still remember her name, and the way she looked when she spoke, she was the personal maid of the queen's side."

Mama Zhao's words darkened little by little: "It's the queen who is jealous of Concubine Lan and wants to get rid of Concubine Lan." Among them, Concubine Chen also participated, although she did not make a move on the surface, but in fact, she was escorting the queen and clearing her suspicions. ”

The queen planned to get rid of Concubine Lan, but she couldn't let others doubt herself, so she had this premeditated plan.

When she heard these words, she also knew that the queen not only wanted to get rid of Concubine Lan, but also to destroy the people around Concubine Lan. Even if this plan fails, there is something else to do.

In short, the queen at that time had already covered the sky with one hand and was determined to do so. She was also helpless, she could only find a way to get out of the way.

Mama Zhao told the old past a long time ago word by word, and there was some regret on her face.

"If you say it, you will say it, for so many years, I have been thinking about this matter all the time in my heart, I can't sleep at night, and I can be regarded as staying up to the end, no matter how you punish me, I will admit it." Mama Zhao lowered her head and said as if relieved.

Shen Xi turned his eyes to look at Lu Qingyi, only to see that his hand hanging by his side was already clenched.

Things that have been unsolved for many years have finally been answered. This matter is also a knot in Lu Qingyi's heart, but knowing the truth does not mean that it can be untied.

After all, because of the queen's plan, innocent people are also involved, including Lu Qingyi's mother.

"You know about this, why didn't you tell Concubine Lan in advance?" Lu Qingyi looked at the person in front of him with burning eyes, and he wanted to see her through.

Mama Zhao said with a sad and regretful face: "Master Lu, I am different from you, I was born as a slave, I just want my wife to spend the days in the palace peacefully, and then return to my hometown to live the rest of my life."

Even if I told Concubine Lan about what happened at that time, she escaped this catastrophe, then next time, I have been in this palace for most of my life, I don't have many days left, I really don't want to die in vain"

Lu Qingyi smiled coldly: "You speak frankly about yourself, but in your heart, is your conscience okay?" When you left the palace, it was not the time to let you go, and it was Concubine Lan who gave you permission to leave. What kind of excuse did you make up to let her send you away leniently, and give you enough silver taels to return to your hometown? ”
