Chapter 536: Pretending to be confused
Miss Yu San saw Li Xu enter the door with her face down, and was about to speak, but Li Xu just nodded and walked past her, as if she was not familiar with her.
Miss Yusan's face changed slightly, but she quickly returned to normal, continued to preside over the overall situation, and instructed the maid to decoct medicine for Miss Li.
"Mother."
Miss Yu San heard Li Xu shouting, turned her head to look again, the young man hurried back, and when she saw Mrs. Li like this, her face was like a layer of frost, and her concern was overflowing.
Mrs. Li's face was pale, and she had cloth towels wrapped around her neck and arms, especially the wounds on her arms, the blood had not completely stopped, and it had soaked out and stained the bedding red.
"Jiulang," Mrs. Li said, "you are back, your mother is fine, you can rest assured, thanks to the people sent by the imperial court, those murderers have been restrained." ”
Li Xu looked at the bloodstains on Mrs. Li's dress.
"This blood is not only my mother's, but also the murderer's," Mrs. Li comforted Li Xu, "It's just a small injury, and it will heal soon." ”
After Li Mu said these words, she was obviously a little tired, and she breathed a long sigh of relief.
Li Xu sat silently on the edge of the bed for a long time, with a solemn expression: "It's all because my son didn't think about it." ”
"I don't blame you," Mrs. Li said softly, "I still want to ...... It turns out that the capital is so dangerous, you ...... In order to...... Li Jia...... Not easy to ......"
Thinking of Fang Cai's thrill, Mrs. Li couldn't help but shiver under the thick quilt, she thought that she wouldn't be able to escape this catastrophe tonight.
Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, the surrounding government would appear.
Li Xu's eyes deepened, and he was about to turn his head and order his subordinates to bring the stove, but Miss Yu San had already handed over the stove: "It may be better to let the eldest lady warm up." ”
Li Xu took the stove and put it into Mrs. Li's quilt.
"It's all over," Li Xu said, "those people have been sent to prison, and I have also asked the nursing home to patrol around the main house more, and my mother should rest well if she is injured, so that she can get better quickly." ”
Mrs. Li nodded.
Li Xu said: "I'll go see the eldest sister, and I'll come back to guard my mother later." ”
"Go ahead," said Mrs. Li, "it's good to have Sanniang with me." ”
Li Xu stood up and strode out.
Watching Li Xu's back walk away, Mrs. Li frowned, with a painful look on her face.
"Mrs. Yu," Miss Yu San stepped forward and grabbed Mrs. Li's hand, "I asked Lang Zhong, after taking the medicine for a while, you will feel more comfortable." ”
Mrs. Li's voice was weak: "Return the child, I'm tired of you." ”
"Don't say that," Miss Yusan's eyes were slightly red, "I can't help either......"
Mrs. Li said, "I don't know how Xu'er's errand is going?" I'm afraid that he will report good news to me and not bad news. ”
Miss Yu San didn't say anything, after all, this was the Li family's private matter, and she didn't want to interfere.
There was silence for a while.
Miss Yu San said, "Who do you want to call to interrogate?" I'm going to call the housekeeper's mother. ”
Mrs. Li nodded.
After a while, the mother of the kung fu steward brought the people around Li Xu to reply.
"The ninth master's side is going well, the eldest lady doesn't have to worry," the little guy said here and paused slightly, "The ninth master knew that something had happened at home and wanted to come back to save the eldest wife, but the master of the criminal department stopped the ninth master and asked the ninth master to go and arrest the culprit." ”
"Has the culprit been caught?" Mrs. Li asked with concern, for fear that Li Xu would be upset and not do her errands because of her affairs.
"Nope."
Really.
Mrs. Li sighed again, she shouldn't have come to the capital, she dragged Jiulang down.
The little guy said in a low voice: "The ninth master is going to chase the eldest lady of the Anyi Marquis Mansion......" Before he finished speaking, he felt a cold gaze fall on him, and the little guy immediately stopped talking.
Mrs. Li raised her head and saw Li Xu who had gone and returned.
Li Xu came over and said: "The eldest sister is resting after taking the medicine, and she can only serve in the female dependents, I asked the housekeeper's mother, fortunately it is not a strong poison, just take a few doses of medicine." ”
Miss Yu San got up curtly and asked Li Xu to sit down, and then said, "I'll serve the second grandmother." ”
Mrs. Li looked at the back of Miss Yu San leaving, and seemed to say to herself: "What a good child, with a good background and good character, what is rare is an empathetic temperament, you must know that there is a good wife in the family, everything is safe." ”
After saying this, Mrs. Li felt that the wound on her neck became more painful, and she couldn't help but reach out to touch it.
Li Xu immediately stopped: "Mother, bear with it." ”
"The yamen's errand is not over, you can go quickly!" Mrs. Li said, "What's the matter...... I will have them go to the yamen to find you...... Don't make Shangguan anxious. ”
Li Xu answered, got up and walked out of Mrs. Li's room, and the little guy who had just paid tribute to Mrs. Li immediately followed.
"You don't have to follow, stay at home and serve!" Li Xu commanded lightly.
The little servant immediately forgave him, but Li Xu walked forward without looking back.
Mrs. Li in the room couldn't help but sigh again when she heard this: "When I grow up, he won't listen to my words." "He still won't let go of that ...... Xu ......, originally the eldest mother said that she still didn't believe it, but now it seems that there is such a thing.
Son, why don't you understand that the daughter of the noble doesn't look down on the door of our family, and if you have to force it, there will be no good results in the future. She has seen many such things, even if the whole family is careful, and she doesn't dare to say a word of blame, she can't get the woman's sincerity in the end.
Li Xu walked out of the house and turned over on his horse, and after thinking for a moment, he motioned to the steward to step forward: "Look carefully, if there is any movement, immediately report to me, people outside will not be so accurate when they come in and poison." "Medicating the persimmons...... What if the eldest sister doesn't eat persimmons? Wouldn't it be that they didn't achieve the results they wanted.
The steward immediately understood what Li Xu meant, and a look of surprise flashed on his face: "Don't worry, master." ”
The affairs of the yamen have to be dealt with, and there are suspicious points everywhere in the family, and he is a little overwhelmed by the successive cases, but he will definitely string all the clues together.
……
Xu Qinghuan took Xu Rui into the Anyi Marquis Mansion and took him all the way into the hall.
The room was lit with a lamp on, and a man was sitting on a chair.
Xu Rui walked and looked up, and when he saw the man's face clearly, he immediately knelt down: "Old lady." ”
The door behind Xu Rui was tightly shut.
Old Lady Song didn't speak, just looked carefully at the person kneeling on the ground.
"Xu Rui," Mrs. Song said after a while, "have you turned your back on the Song family?" ”
"No," Xu Rui's voice trembled, "Old lady, you believe me, although I survived, I never turned my back on the Song family and the eldest master. ”
Xu Rui knocked on the ground.
"Get up," said Mrs. Song, "tell me, how did you survive, and who saved you?" Have you ever told the people who saved you? ”
Xu Rui staggered to his feet, sat on the chair for a long time before he raised his head again: "It was Prince Jian who found me from the pile of dead, and King Jian was looking for Lang in the palace to treat my injuries...... In addition to me, there were many people who were also hidden by King Jian's Mansion at that time.
Many of them were involved in the rebellion of King Wei, and naturally there were innocent victims, and after I recovered from my injuries, I stayed in Beijing, changed my identity and used a pseudonym, and I have been until now. ”
Xu Qinghuan said: "King Jian can ask you how you were injured? ”
Xu Rui nodded: "The steward of King Jian's Mansion asked me, I didn't tell the truth, at that time, there was chaos in Beijing, killing people everywhere, and they had no way to verify it."
And I suspect that Prince Jian knew some of the past at all, and deliberately pretended to be confused in front of us, otherwise how could he easily leave me, I was by Prince Jian's side, and I also wanted to figure out why the old man did that.
is obviously a good family, but he took it with him to die. ”
