After Xu Hui's burial, Xu Shu received a letter from Gao Zhinan.

"The person who came to deliver the letter said that a few days ago, the Queen Mother was sick, and Miss Gao has been serving by the side of the Queen Mother, and she only knew about Master Xu when she left the palace today, and she should have come to visit Miss in person! But Miss Gao has been sick for many days, and she is afraid that she will not come after she will be sick......"

Yuzhu took the letter in her hand, she didn't want to give it to Xu Shu at all, she just wanted to throw the letter far away, Miss Fei was so concerned about Miss Gao, but Miss Gao didn't have Grandma Qi's heart, the day after Master Xu left, Grandma Qi came to comfort Miss with a big belly, if Miss Gao really had a heart, she should have come a long time ago, and now it's just an excuse to say so much.

"Bring it!" Xu Shu stretched out her hand, and Yuzhu handed over the letter with some reluctance, but Xu Shu took the letter in her hand but did not open it.

What would Gao Zhinan write in the letter? It's just some words of concern and comfort, and it's not serious...... But Xu Shu had already heard too many of these words, and the whole person who listened to them was numb......

Xu Shu finally opened the envelope with the only remaining glimmer of hope, and was unexpectedly disappointed, Gao Zhinan carefully worded and said comforting words, repeatedly explaining the reason why she did not come in person, but Xu Shu had no waves in her heart after reading it......

Why didn't Gao Zhinan come? Why didn't she come? Is it really because the idea is illusory, or is it because ...... She's weak-hearted!

Second Master Li blurted out that it was the queen mother's instigation, and it was not like a frame, and the Li family did not dare to frame the queen mother! The assassination of her must have something to do with the Queen Mother, but how did the Queen Mother get involved with the Li family? How did a family like the Li family get into the eyes of the Empress Dowager Fu?

There's a missing link in between......

Who linked Empress Dowager Fu to the Li family?

Mrs. Li, Gao, and Mrs. Gao are compatriots of the same mother, not long ago, Gao Zhinan hinted that Xu Shu had just won the favor of the Queen Mother, and the Fu family and the ministers wanted to recommend Gao Zhinan as the crown princess, and it was rumored that the emperor wanted the nine daughters of the Zheng family to be the princesses......

Xu Shu took a deep breath, feeling that her heart hurt so badly that she couldn't help crumpling the letter paper in her hand......

"Miss......" Yuzhu was startled and screamed softly.

Xu Shu raised her head, her face pale, "You go down!" ”

Yuzhu looked at Xu Shu's face, went down with hesitation, and when she got to the door, she saw Lu He leading Xu Shu over, and hurriedly turned back, "Miss, Miss Xu Shi is here!" ”

Xu Shu's face finally showed a little pleasure, "Hurry up and call her in!" Xu Shu pinched her cheeks, making her face look a little bloody, and hurriedly stuffed the crumpled letter into her sleeve and hid it.

"Ninth Sister ......" Xu Qiao was dressed in plain clothes with a smile on her face, but behind this smile was obvious sadness.

"You're here...... I just told my eldest sister about you two days ago, you ......" Xu Shu saw through Xu Hao's disguised smile at a glance, and felt a pain in her heart, it was because of herself that Xu Wei went through all this......

Xu Yu naturally sat next to Xu Shu, "Yesterday, the eldest sister took me to live with her, and when I settled down, I came to talk to the ninth sister, I'm afraid you will worry about ......."

"Listen to the eldest sister...... Xu Shu admonished.

Xu Wan nodded, "I know...... I know ......"

She knows...... She knows it all...... She knew everything, but why was it still like this......

In front of Xu Shu, who also hid this secret, Xu Shu couldn't pretend anymore, and cried, "Ninth sister...... Why? Why did my mother do this to me...... That day, Suyu came to call me and said that my grandmother was dying, so I hurriedly went to Songdetang, and everyone was there, and kept watch until dawn, and my grandmother finally woke up, and my mother called me back, and brought me ginseng soup, I drank it without warning, and when I walked into the garden, I felt that my hands and feet were weak, and then I didn't know anything......"

"She's here to deal with me......" Xu Shu pulled Xu Yu and hugged her in her arms, "I'm sorry I implicated you......"

Xu Wan cried and shook her head, "It's right that I implicated you, if...... If I had been a little more careful, I wouldn't have given her a chance, and this wouldn't have happened, and I was to blame...... I'm the one who caused you, and I'm the one who killed my father......"

"Your father's death has nothing to do with you, don't feel guilty!" Xu Shu patted Xu Wei on the back, her voice was hoarse but firm, "It's the Li family's conspiracy, it's Mrs. Xu's ruthlessness, it's they who killed your father, and they have nothing to do with you, do you know?" Don't blame yourself for that, father...... He doesn't want you to do that either! ”

Xu Wei's tears soaked Xu Shu's clothes, leaving a cold water stain on Xu Shu's heart, but Xu Shu's tears did not stop because of this, "Why? Why did the mother do this? We...... Obviously, they are all the same as the seventh brother, they are all born to her, but why would she treat us like this? ”

In the past, although the Li family's partiality with Xu Hua was too obvious, but they still had a little love for Xu Shu, after Xu Shu left Beijing, the Li family was still ready to give Xu Shu the Shulin Pavilion where Xu Shu lived after repairing, it can be seen that the Li family still loved Xu Wei in his heart at that time, but now, when the Li family used Xu Shu to come, he didn't even blink his eyes......

"Fool, how can we be the same as Xu Qigongzi?" Xu Shu sneered sarcastically, "Especially me, I don't have anything to do with the Xu family now, I'm fine, and the Xu family can't get the light, but if you can exchange me for benefits, what a cost-effective deal, she ...... Why not? ”

All of Li's mother's love was given to Xu Hua, and Xu Ting was lucky to get a little bit, as for the others, don't expect extravagantly, there is no part of them. They only have use value in the eyes of the Li family, and once the use value is squeezed out, the Li family will not hesitate to discard them, which Xu Shu should have understood as early as five years old.

Xu Yao's heart was completely desperate, "So you asked me to live with my eldest sister because I was afraid that one day she would treat me like you?" ”

Xu Shu did not deny that the Li family stretched out his hand to Xu Yu this time, then there will definitely be a next time, and it is impossible to prevent it, so the only way to stay away is to let Xu Shu stay away, "Now that the Xu family's room is completely hopeless, sit and eat empty, who knows what delusions Mrs. Xu will have, now you are the only bargaining chip in her hand, she can betray me for profit, and she can use the same method to you, not to mention that your relationship with the Song family is a foregone conclusion, she can't get any benefits from it, you stay in the Xu family, I'm afraid she will embarrass you!" ”

When it came to the Song family, Xu Wei suddenly hesitated, "Ninth sister ......"

"Huh?"

"I ...... I don't want to marry Song Wencai......" Xu Yu mustered up the courage to finally speak.
