Chapter 318: The Three Princesses (1)
Tan was stunned, she didn't expect Gongsun Xian to say this, it was the first time she heard her son's evaluation of others so high, and the bamboo shoots on the chopsticks were scared: "She's really so powerful?" ”
Gongsun Xian rinsed his mouth and said, "Otherwise, why does my mother think that grandmother attaches so much importance to the fifth sister?" Looking at the appearance of the eldest aunt, can't the mother see it? Even if you can't make friends with them, don't make enemies. "The eldest lady Xue has always had a keen sense of smell. Gongsun Xian knew that his mother's mind was not sharp enough, and he kept letting her watch Xue's words and deeds. He paused, and then said: "Ying'er's death is inseparable from me, and it can't be blamed entirely on the fifth sister." ”
The Tan family has already listened to his son talk about the causes and consequences, it is nothing more than Gongsun Xian bringing Gongsun Lan back to the clan, some people feel that the two are too close, and they are afraid that Sanfang and Gongsun Lan will join forces, and then take advantage of the relationship between Gongsun Wanzhen and the Mu family, and then Sanfang will be powerful.
Tan sneered: "I don't know who is plotting behind it, it's really ruthless." However, even if we really have this kind of thought, it will not be an easy task. Don't say that your eldest aunt can't be the master, just say that it is not certain whether the Mu family can accept the five girls, and how can she help anyone because of her relationship? ”
Gongsun Xian chuckled and said, "Mother, don't be in a hurry to make a conclusion. ”
Tan Shi was stunned again and asked, "How do you say this?" ”
"Although the news has not been revealed at this time, my grandmother's tolerance for the fifth sister should have been noticed by my mother." Gongsun Xian thought for a moment and said: "As for the Mu family, although my uncle and aunt threatened to take a wife this time, it was thunder and rain, and there was no action so far. ”
Tan frowned and shook his head, indicating that he didn't know, but Gongsun Xian didn't elaborate, and got up to prepare to leave the house.
Tan Shi admonished a few words, and suddenly said: "You said this, wouldn't it really be your eldest uncle......
"Mother, don't speculate, this matter may not be her own family's doing. It may be that outsiders are deliberately provoking. ”
Tan was worried, but it was useless to say more at this time, so he sent his son out.
This Gongsun Lan walked to the house in the north with the moon breath, and the carriage rolled forward, and occasionally the sound of endless discussions in the street market could be heard. There are several places that talk loudly about Gongsun Lan's ruthless methods in Da'an to destroy the Yan family's scourge, and at this time, less than a month after returning to the Gongsun family, he poisoned his sister-in-law and so on.
Gongsun Lan stopped the carriage and stood on the side of the road and listened carefully. What happened last night has been spread all over the streets of Kyoto this morning, and if no one is behind it, even the ghosts will not be believed.
"You mean, that young lady from the Gongsun family who lived in Da'an killed people a few years ago without blinking? How old was she then, twelve or thirteen? ”
"Oh! I heard that the most prestigious first beautiful man in Da'an, Yan Jun...... is still the son of a minister, just because he offended her, he died extremely miserably, and he also has a sister, just because he is a little more beautiful than this one, he was disfigured, and finally burned alive! ”
"This ...... Deceive, how could a teenage yellow-haired girl do such an inhumane thing? Or is there something going on? ”
"Even if the matter of Da'an is false, what about what happened last night?" The man's eyebrows fluttered, as if he had experienced it himself, and he told the people around him vividly: "I heard that this young lady who was poisoned, I just wanted to persuade her to restrain a little, not to disgrace the family, but this person killed people in a fit of anger!" Ouch ......"
The man next to him grew his mouth and was very surprised, and said, "If this is the case, then it is really dawn and lost!" ”
"I heard that when I was in Da'an, this person was called a 'bad star'! This is still what we know, maybe there are still things we don't know, those powerful people can't do anything in private! ”
"Ouch, such a woman actually came to our Yasukuni, and I don't know what else will happen."
At this time, someone stopped him and said, "It's better not to talk nonsense." Don't you want to die? If the female devil finds out, she will poison you all when the time comes! No matter what, that's also the young lady of the Gongsun family! Kill a few inconsequential people, who would dare to come out? ”
The voice of the discussion froze, and then someone shook his head and sighed: "Alas, what a world! ”
"The world has changed!"
The conversation that everyone was talking about stopped here, and Gongsun Lan only felt ridiculous when he heard it, and waved his hand to let the carriage continue to move forward. Yue Xi was angry, and said: "These people are not afraid of going to hell with tongue pulling!" Why don't I go and make them suffer! ”
"No, it's useless. Rumors stop at the wise, and have nothing to do with the strength of force. If we can't find out the truth, how many people's mouths can we control? ”
Yuexi sighed sullenly and said, "The tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop." ”
It was almost noon, when the sun was bright and hot, but the people in the house were a little happy. As soon as Yuexi saw them like this, she was pleasantly surprised: "How is Sister Twilight?" Awake? ”
Duchun Tigong Sun Lan took off his hat and said with a smile: "I haven't woken up yet, but the injury has finally stabilized, although I still have a fever from time to time, but my complexion has improved a lot, and I sometimes make a dream sound in my sleep, I think I will wake up in a short time." ”
Gongsun Lan said: "It seems that the medicine of the old man of Wansheng is really effective. ”
Yuexi followed her and said, "Yes, such a good pharmacist, why did Miss let him go?!" ”、
"He said that he had something urgent to leave for a while, and listening to him, it seemed that he was going to come back to find the prince." Gongsun Lan didn't ask Yang Wei carefully what deal he had reached with the Wansheng Dao people or what other plans were in it, but since Yang Zhen thought it was okay, it must be no problem.
"But why did Su Gu Su Yu and them leave in a hurry, the slave maid heard Lei Cheng say that after the young lady and Gongsun Xian left, the next day their brothers and sisters left with the prince first, and they didn't say where they were going......
Gongsun Lan shook her head, she didn't know this, she always felt that the two brothers and sisters seemed to be hiding a lot of things.
When she came to the twilight bed, she saw that the other party's complexion had indeed improved a lot, and she had recovered a little bit of vitality. She lifted the quilt and saw that the wound was no longer oozing blood. Then he gently untied the bandaged cotton strip, reapplied the medicine, took a clean new strip of cloth and bandaged it, and said to Twilight Spring and Twilight: "When Twilight wakes up, you two will go back to the house with me." ”
Twilight and Twilight look at each other and smile in agreement. Twilight thought for a moment and said tentatively, "Miss, what ...... What should I do with Atan, she has been kneeling since yesterday, and the water and rice have not entered the ......"
Gongsun Lan's expression suddenly became unpredictable, she pondered for a long time, and said, "Take her to the side hall, I have something to ask her." ”
"Yes, slave and maid will go."
Ah Tan, Gongsun Lan never thought that the person who was most familiar with him and had never thought much about it would have such a big problem. The masked man was right, it was a real darkness under the lamp, and even when the masked man told her that Ah Tan was related to her mother's family, she didn't believe it for a while.
Ah Tan knelt for more than ten hours, his legs were already stiff, and he stumbled a little when he entered the door: "Ah Tan asks Miss for peace." ”
Gongsun Lan looked at her, and she shouldn't even ask where to start. If she was faithful, she never told herself the truth until she died in her previous life. If she was said to be unfaithful, she accompanied herself to endure countless hardships and finally lost her life. After a long time, the tea in hand was already cold, and Gongsun Lan said out loud: "Who are you?" ”
Ah Tan's eyes turned red in an instant, and she bit her lip and said, "Ah Tan is Miss's slave, life and death." ”
Gongsun Lan couldn't help frowning and asked, "Why, for so many years, you haven't said a word." ”
"Ah Tan didn't dare to say more, if he said that the young lady would die."
"Are you from the Gongsun family, or from the Mu family?"
Ah Tan's body trembled uncontrollably slightly, and said, "Ah Tan is...... People from the Gongsun family, but the Gongsun family doesn't know about my existence. She saw Gongsun Lan showing a puzzled look, and said: "At the beginning, the eldest aunt and the third master of the Song family were pregnant before they got married, and the people of the Gongsun family agreed that Song Sanye deceived the eldest aunt and grandmother, but at that time, the eldest aunt and grandmother wanted to follow Song Sanye to become a couple, and the Gongsun family had no choice but to agree, and ruined the marriage contract with the Mu family for this. ”
Gongsun Lan was stunned, she didn't know these details, even if she had returned to the clan now, the old lady of Gongsun didn't mention what happened back then. Presumably, the young lady of the Gongsun family is pregnant for life with others, and this kind of thing cannot be publicized under any circumstances.
Ah Tan said: "Not many people know about this, but it is not clear who knows the slave and maid. ”
"Then, was it the people of the Gongsun family or the Mu family who chased Da'an to kill Song Zhan?"
"Yes...... People from the Gongsun family. ”
Gongsun Lan's heart was tight, even if she had already guessed, she still couldn't bear it calmly when she heard the truth. As for why the Gongsun family did this, there is no need to guess at all, and the marriage contract with the Mu family is the biggest reason. Forming an in-law with the Mu family is of great benefit to the Gongsun family, even if I don't know if the Mu family can still accept Gongsun Wanzhen, but the Gongsun family finally won the bet! "So, who was the one who brought my mother back in the first place?"
"It's the third master."
The third old man, Gongsun Jingxiu, Gongsun Xian's father! It seems that the person who let himself go of life at the beginning was Gongsun Jingxiu, Gongsun Lan squinted his eyes, his relationship with Sanfang is indeed not shallow, no wonder some people are afraid of Sanfang joining forces with him.
But she clearly remembered that what Ling Yi Shitai saw behind the nunnery was two groups of people, the first group was very clear that they wanted to kill Gongsun Wanzhen and their mother and daughter, but another group of people arrived to save them and took Gongsun Wanzhen to leave her. The second group is obviously Gongsun Jingxiu, so who is the first group?
At the beginning, Gongsun Lan and Yang Zheng speculated that perhaps the emperor deliberately killed the most promising Song Zhan in order to limit the rise of the Song family, but later they found that the emperor was not so far-sighted at all, so they rejected this speculation.
So, who was the person who wanted to kill Gongsun Wanzhen at that time? She looked at Ah Tan and said suspiciously: "Then what you just said, you are a member of the Gongsun family, but the people of the Gongsun family don't know what your existence means?" ”
