Chapter 59: Death Day
"Xiao Changge and I are innocent, fourth brother, don't think about it, it's just that I accidentally saved her life when I returned to Beijing, and I don't know who threw her in the ghost forest, when she fell directly from the cliff into the water, fortunately there is water below, otherwise this little life will be gone." Chu Mo said, he is still very relieved about Chu Yu, not to mention that as long as a person with a brain knows this matter, things are not simple.
Fortunately, General Xiao started to investigate, hoping to return Xiao Changge's innocence.
"Third brother, I heard that you released Xia Ruoyunyun's pigeon on the day of the Qiqiao Festival, Xia Ruoyun can be regarded as your childhood sweetheart, but what you care about is a woman who is destined for one side, if Xia Ruoyun knows it, will she be angry to death?"
Mo eyebrows raised slightly, and even what he said was a little ridiculous.
At the mention of Xia Ruoyun, Chu Mo's face was expressionless.
The paper can't hold the fire, not to mention that so many people were present at the time, and it was normal for this to get out.
His mother really found a way out for him, chose a good place, and used those people to publicize this matter, disturbing the hearts of the crown prince and the second prince, so that they really thought that he had something to do with Xia Ruoyun.
His mother wanted to force him step by step.
"Fourth brother, I hope you can keep this matter secret for the third brother."
"Of course, I have to keep these two Tantan wines secret for you, otherwise, who will buy wine for me to drink in the future?" Chu Yu said, and drank it directly in front of Chu Mo, not caring about anything.
Seeing Chu Yu's appearance, Chu Mo shook his head with a sigh, and left in a hurry after a few words of cold to him.
He didn't have that much time, but he still told Ye Ziyuan when he came out this time, he wanted to rush back immediately after visiting General Xiao, but seeing the scar on Xiao Changge's face, he couldn't help but want to ask for a spiritual ointment for her.
What a pity for a woman to have a disfigured appearance.
"Third brother, let's go, if anyone has a spiritual anointing, I will pay attention to it for you." Chu Yu hugged Zhu Yeqing and waved his hand at Chu Mo, until Chu Mo's figure disappeared in his eyes, and the eyes that hid a smile instantly became cold.
Leaf element
Xiao Changge is right, this person's methods are indeed clever.
Otherwise, he would not have coaxed Emperor Chu to tell him such an important thing, but he was still the prince's person.
How capable Xiao Changge is, he knew what would happen to this person before Ye Ziyuan entered the palace, and he really couldn't underestimate it.
The crown prince's people, except for it, still have to let the Emperor Chu personally order!
Kill with a knife!
"Hi Autumn"
Xiao Changge rubbed his nose, the weather was not too cold, it was almost warm, how could he sneeze suddenly.
"Miss, are you frozen and need a slave to bring you clothes?" Red Sleeves tilted his little head, reached out and laid a black spot on the chessboard.
"No, I'm fine, I lost." Xiao Changge landed next to the sunspot with a handful of white seeds in his hand.
Red Sleeves looked at this game of chess pieces and looked at Xiao Changge with some admiration.
"Miss, whether it's black chess or white chess, you play just as well, when will Red Sleeves win a game of Miss?" Red Sleeves scratched his head and wondered, Xiao Changge shook his head and couldn't help laughing.
"Probably when you understand the power of this chess game one day, you will be able to win against me."
Clear eyes swept to the chessboard, on the chessboard she planned step by step, in order to force the sunspot to a corner, revealing flaws, and if you want to use the words of a soldier, it is to invite you into the urn.
This is a good game, waiting for the other party to get in by himself, and catch it with one move.
But if there is one mistake, the whole game will be lost.
The other party is not Red Sleeves, and they can't all be loopholes that give her a chance, so she needs to be careful.
Xiao Changge slowly raised his hand and took back the chess pieces one by one.
The sun had set, and the hazy moon had come out of the clouds, glowing with cold light, and sprinkled on the ground.
However, her small courtyard to the west seemed unusually quiet, while other places were very lively, especially in the Fulu courtyard, which was very lively.
With Xiao Changle and Xiao Yayan as companions, the old lady is not lonely.
Coupled with the fact that Xiao Changle was with the prince on the day of the Qiqiao Festival, Xiao Changle's status in the Xiao family is not ordinary.
At least she has the possibility of being the crown princess, so the people of the Xiao family should be around her at this time.
It's lively over there, but it's different here.
On Yan's side, when Mama Zhou finished speaking, the Buddhist beads in Yan's hand no longer turned, and she opened her eyes with a hint of coldness in her eyes.
"You said it, but it's true?" Yan raised his eyebrows in disbelief.
"The old slave saw it with his own eyes, the old man was afraid that Xiao Changge was about to catch up with the second lady, and he followed Xiao Changge to send the third prince out of the house!" Seeing Yan's unbelieving appearance, Mama Zhou continued.
Mama Zhou said that Yan's family naturally would not doubt it, even if she had nothing to do, she would not joke about this kind of thing.
What's more, if it's true or not, just ask the gatekeeper to know, so Mama Zhou doesn't need to lie.
With a cold light in his eyes, he gently wiped his face with a handkerchief, his face was not shocked, and even Mama Zhou couldn't see what Yan was thinking in his heart.
"Come here." Yan beckoned, and Mama Zhou came to listen to him.
"Yes, the old slave will do it."
"Yes, go ahead." Yan waved his hand and let out a long sigh.
Seeing Mama Zhou leave, Yan looked at the painting hanging on the wall, but her eyes became sharp, as if she wanted to tear the painting up, but unfortunately, she didn't dare to move.
The mountains and rivers in the painting are good, and the important thing is not the painting, but the painting that does not belong to her.
This courtyard originally belonged to the eldest lady, that is to say, Xiao Changge's mother also lived here before, in the courtyard where she stayed, and this painting was also left by her, she wanted to destroy everything about her, but Xiao Yongde did not allow her to do so.
However, a dead person can make Xiao Yongde say this, which shows her weight in Xiao Yongde's heart, and now, there are more of her daughters in worship.
"You said you died when you died, why did you let Xiao Changge live? So you're not good, and I'm not good. Yan stared at the portrait, his voice was sharp, and his eyes were cold.
But what responded to her was silence and emptiness.
This position can only be hers, no one can take it away, no one can take it away!
Xiao Yongde has changed Xiao Changge, so let her destroy it with her own hands!
This Xiao family doesn't need two favored people, it's enough to have Changle!
……
Red Sleeves brought over all the things Xiao Changge asked for early, with a few plates of side dishes and a pot of wine in the box.
And Xiao Changge had already washed up, changed into plain clothes, and held a hairpin, simple without losing his temperament.
If it weren't for the scar on his face, he would have looked very delicate at this moment.
Although Xiao Changge is not as beautiful as Xiao Changle, he looks very delicate, if he wanted to marry a good family like before, it would be very easy, with the name of the daughter of the Xiao family and her good looks, and now, when the red sleeves saw her face, he only felt sorry for her.
How could such a thing happen to such a good person as a young lady in her family? I can only blame God for injustice.
"Well, let's go." Xiao Changge nodded, straightened his plain clothes, and followed behind Xiao Changge with red sleeves and a food box.
"Miss, are you out of the house?"
Xiao Changge wears a plain dress on weekdays, and today he didn't doubt seeing Xiao Changge dressed like this, but he saw that the red sleeves were holding a food box in his hand, which looked a little strange.
"Well, we have to go out of the house, this day is just right, you can take out the quilt in my room and dry it, lest it become moldy." Xiao Changge glanced at Qiu Xiu and said.
"Yes." Qiu Xiu was stunned, not knowing what Xiao Changge meant by this, but nodded.
After Xiao Changge went out, Qiu Xiu ran to Yan's courtyard.
Leaving the house with a food box is definitely not a good thing!
After leaving the house, he got into the carriage, and the red sleeves lowered the curtain.
"Miss, I see Qiu Xiu sneaky, and I don't know what the hell I'm thinking." As soon as Red Sleeves got into the car, he sat in front of Xiao Changge and muttered.
"The human heart is unpredictable." Xiao Changge said quietly, and the red sleeves also shut up.
The carriage walked slowly, Xiao Changge lifted the curtain and looked at the street outside, there was a Tang family's shop a few streets away.
The Tang family's business is really at the top of the sky, there is a shop a few streets away, and the business seems to be good.
If it weren't for the palace to reduce the price too low, the Tang family would be the richest man in the capital now.
And now, it is just a vain appearance, if it weren't for the support of the money earned outside, the Tang family would not have the current position, let alone the court businessmen.
"Miss, what are you looking at? Isn't that the Tang family's shop? Seeing Xiao Changge looking outside, Xiao Changge lowered the curtain, and there was a noisy sound of the street outside, which was enough to see how prosperous this street was.
"Well, the Tang family." Xiao Changge lowered the curtain, the carriage bumped, and arrived in the forest in less than a while.
There was a patch of weeds around, and the green grass in the forest was dense, and the dew drops were dripping, moistening the soil, and a fragrant smell came.
Her mother was sorry for the plaque that was loyal to the generations, so Mrs. Xiao ordered that she was not even qualified to enter the Xiao family ancestral hall.
Xiao Yongde is a dutiful son, this person knows everything, but since it is an order given by Mrs. Xiao, how can he resist?
So her mother can only be buried in such a small place, and there is no one all year round, even on this death day, besides her, who else cares about this genuine Mrs. Xiao?
Now, Xiao Changge is bearish.
It doesn't matter if no one remembers, she does.
"Daddy?" When Xiao Changge arrived at the tombstone, he saw a person standing in front of the tombstone, his hair and temples were slightly white, and his face was vicissitudes.
Hearing someone shouting, Xiao Yongde turned around with surprise.
He thought that he was the only one who remembered Xiao Changge's mother's death day, but he didn't expect Xiao Changge to remember it too.
"Sir." Red Sleeves leaned over and shouted.
"Changge, you also came to see your mother?" Xiao Yongde said in disbelief, Xiao Changge nodded.
"I thought that only Changge remembered his mother's death day, but I didn't expect to meet your father here."
The dirt stained the embroidered shoes, she walked to the tombstone and squatted down, brought out all the dishes in the food box and put them in front of the tombstone, then took the wine and poured it into the cup.
After drinking the fragrance wafting out, Xiao Changge knelt in front of the tombstone and looked at the words written on it.
The Tomb of the Beloved Wife.
These few words made Xiao Changge's heart cold, because of that incident, her mother was an eternal sinner who disgraced the Xiao family, and not only could she not be buried in the Xiao family ancestral hall after her death, but she couldn't even give her name to her mother.
If it weren't for Xiao Changge's annual visit, I really don't know which one is her mother's tombstone.
The hand holding the glass tightened a little, almost crumpling it.
The four words of the tomb of his beloved wife deeply pierced her heart.
