Chapter 162: Can You Trust Her?
But these people in Shuifu didn't know that when they saw that the villain was dead, they took the old lady back.
And the maidservant Yingying was supposed to be handed over to the government, but was stopped by the old lady.
As for the reason, the old lady didn't say anything, and the group went back to Shuifu.
For Xin Niang and Xi Fengyi's help, the old lady was grateful on the surface, but it didn't take long for her to excuse them to leave.
The two of them did not stay long, and took their leave. But they didn't leave Mist City, but lurked in the shadows.
For several days, Xi Fengyi, who had been staring at the water mansion, found that after Ying Ying followed the old lady back to the house, she never appeared in front of everyone again, and the old lady also announced a retreat three days later.
This incident also caused a lot of turmoil in Shuifu, and several sons of Shuifu thought that their mother-in-law was held hostage by Yingying, but the people who were blocked outside the old Taijun's courtyard were all the old Taijun's henchmen, and they couldn't break in.
So the eldest lord of Shuifu found Xi Fengyi and Xin Niang again, hoping that they would help again.
Xin Niang agreed, but this time they did not enter the water mansion openly, but still investigated behind their backs.
On the night of the fifteenth day of that month, the two sneaked into the courtyard of the old lady by night, and in that secret room, they saw the old lady and Ying Ying.
The children underneath were all disposed of, the old lady was locked up, a man in black was threatening her, and Ying Ying fell to her knees, pleading bitterly with the man, next to her was a child who had been dead for a long time.
Listening to the conversation of several people, Xin Niang and Xi Fengyi knew that this man in black was the second master of Shuifu.
The second master wanted to get the position of the head of the Shuifu family, so he single-handedly planned all this, and Yingying was the person he put next to the old lady, but because Yingying didn't dare to attack the old lady, the second master took advantage of Yingying's lover.
But the old lady refused to obey, the second old man was angry, so he used violence against the old lady, Ying Ying really couldn't see it, and in order to protect the old lady, her legs were broken.
It wasn't until the second master left that Xin Niang and Xi Fengyi showed up.
When Ying Ying saw them, she hoped that they could stop all this and save the old lady, after all, the old lady was too old to withstand such a long toss.
But the old lady gave up, she made a deal with Xi Fengyi, and was willing to give her face to Yingying, so that Yingying would appear in Shuifu in her image, and she was willing to die and break the second master's plan.
I hope that Xin Niang and the others can support Yingying and control the lifeblood of the entire Shuifu until the real head of the family is elected.
Ying Ying is very opposed to this, but the old lady has made up her mind and cannot be changed.
In the end, Xi Fengyi changed the faces of the two, and Xin Niang changed her appearance into a maid, staying by Yingying's side to help.
And after they went out, the old lady didn't know what to do, so she sealed the secret room, and no matter how hard the people outside tried, they couldn't get in.
It was a place of mortality.
On the same day after that, the second master suddenly died.
From Ying Ying's words, I know that the second master is the one who is the one who is under the Gu, and the Gu mother should be on him, but the death of the old lady cannot be accompanied by the Gu mother.
The only possibility is that the Gu mother has always been on the old lady, and the second master has also been deceived.
After all, the people of Shuifu are not born to use Gu.
Xin Niang had a vague feeling in her heart, but there was no basis, she could have discussed it with Xi Fengyi, but at that time, Xi Fengyi had something to do temporarily and had to leave, so Xin Niang didn't say anything.
Not long after staying in Shuifu, after dealing with the death of the second master, Ying Ying took out the ancient scroll to elect the new head of the family as the old lady had hoped.
It's a pity that the ancient scroll did not choose a suitable heir, and Yingying had no choice but to discuss with Xin Niang, and she, as the "old lady", maintained the operation of the entire water mansion.
Xin Niang agreed, and not long after, she left Shuifu.
Not long after she left, Yingying re-chose a mansion as the new residence of Shuifu, while the old mansion was abandoned, and she did not let people sell the old mansion on the grounds of "sad place", but only chose a henchman, lived there, and cleaned and guarded it on time.
But what no one knows is that on an unknown night, Yingying, as an old lady, will walk to the old house with an oil lamp, and stay in an abandoned yard all night.
Outsiders only know that she returned to the sad place because she missed her dead second son, but only she knew that every time she went there, she died to see someone.
A real old lady who should have died, Shuifu.
"Grandma didn't die at that time, she said that, it was just to save the entire Shuifu, because everything was planned by Yingying, a vicious woman, in order to take revenge on Shuifu, because her child was regarded as a child of Shuifu by the enemies of Shuifu, and she was tricked and finally died. The children in the secret room in grandma's yard are all made by Yingying herself, and they have nothing to do with grandma at all, grandma is just helping her cover up. Because grandma is too kind-hearted, she watched Yingying grow up little by little, taught her medical skills little by little, and helped her grow, in the eyes of grandma, Yingying is her daughter, but it's a pity that this white-eyed wolf did that to grandma. She pretended to be innocent, deceived everyone, and held the Water Mansion for so long, she deserved retribution. My sisters and sisters were also killed by her. If I hadn't discovered this first and found someone to replace me for years, I would have died. Because the Junyu in the fire in Shuifu before was Shui Wuyue who replaced me! β
Shui Wuyue said so much in one breath, and the resentment on her face was afraid that it was shining in the faint yellow light of the candle flame, which looked very terrifying.
Qu Youying sat motionless opposite her, waiting for her to slowly calm down before saying, "After that, I've finished watching it, but I have a few questions." β
"Are you trying to ask, why did the second master die thirty-five years ago, and how was I born?"
Qu Youying said, "Yes." Because no matter how you look at it, it's not that old. β
"The world only knows that there are four masters in Shuifu, in fact, grandpa and grandma also had a son, according to time, he is the second. It's just that because of the relationship between the body, and the fact that he was ordered by the Taoist priest to say that he was compatible with his grandfather's life, he has always been sent outside. Over time, everyone forgot about the existence of this child. But after all, it is grandma's child, and grandma sometimes mentions this child in front of Yingying, and the woman remembers it. In order to make it easier for someone to help her do things, she found my father, and he took the position of the second master, and used my mother to coerce my father to help her do things. Because the second master wants to kill his mother, it is not a shameful thing, so several masters in the house know in their hearts, the death of the second master has not been announced to the public, after finding my father, he only said that he was injured by a gangster in order to save his mother, something happened, and he was disfigured, and after the injury was healed, he didn't remember what happened before. β
Although what she said was very similar to that, Qu Youying was only skeptical.
She continued, "The second question, has your grandmother been locked up in this place since then? β
"Yes."
"That-" Qu Youying glanced at the wooden gate and said, "That water pupil that has been living here, do you know?" β
Shui Wuyue didn't expect her to ask this, her initial reaction was to be stunned, and then said, "He knows." β
Really.
"So you brought me here tonight, and he knows it? You know these things, he knows too? β
Shui Wuyue frowned, but nodded anyway.
"That third question."
"Why do you have so many questions? Do you believe what I'm saying? β
"I believe it! But don't you think it's strange that there are some things mentioned above? β
Shui Wuyue was slightly stunned, "What's strange?" β
"After the old lady closed the secret room, how did she know about the external affairs?"
"That's because every time Yingying came to see her, she told her."
"Okay, that explanation makes sense." Qu Youying waved her hand and said, "Then the last thing I want to know is, how did you get these things?" Is it given to you by Mizutomi. β
"YouβWhat do you keep mentioning big brother? All this I did had nothing to do with Big Brother. I'm telling you because I want you to believe me, and to make up for the mistakes your mother and your master made in the first place, if they hadn't listened to Yingying, Grandma wouldn't have ended up in such a situation. β
"Make amends?"
Qu Youying's originally smiling face instantly turned cold after hearing what she said.
"Your father is still abusive! Why don't you say you're going to make it up? β
Qu Youying's sneer deepened the anger on Shui Wuyue's face, she opened her mouth, wanting to refute it, but she seemed to think of something again, pursed her lips again, and said for a while.
"Miss Qu, Ying Ying knows that I am not dead, she has been sending people to keep an eye on me these days, and I can't help it, so I asked you for help, you are Xin Niang's daughter, Xin Niang is so smart, you must have inherited it, please help me, I don't want to die, I want to give Shuifu justice."
Her words made Qu Youying really want to laugh out loud, obviously for herself, but she wanted to get involved in Shuifu, and the daughters of Shuifu were all of this virtue?
"Okay, I'll help you, I'll wade this time anyway." Qu Youying got up from the stool, pointed to the box and the blood book, and said, "For your sincerity, I want to take this seal as a token of your trade, what do you think." β
She asked, but her hand had already picked up the seal.
Shui Wuyue frowned, lowered her head and didn't know what she was thinking, but finally nodded.
"Okay, it's not too early, let's go back!"
She turned around and went out, and the two walked out along the way they came, silently, until they reached the gate, and when the two separated, Qu Youying stopped Shui Wuyue again.
"I have one more question that I have to ask you."
"What's the problem?"
"You said you found someone to pretend to be you, and you escaped. So who is that substitute for the dead? β
Shui Wuyue said without thinking, "It's a distant relative of Shuifu, after knowing this, I tricked her into the house, saying that I don't want to live the life of Shuifu, I want to leave, but grandma refuses, so I need her to pretend, and every woman in Shuifu will have the opportunity to enter the palace as a concubine, so she agreed, and afterwards, I asked the fourth brother to change her face, so no one found out." β
"Shui Linze?"
"Yes." Shui Midnight didn't see the expression on Qu Youying's face, she pulled the hat on her head, "I'll go first, remember what you promised me." β
Qu Youying looked at her disappearing figure in a hurry, her brows furrowed.
"Water has no moon."
She muttered the name and laughed silently.
Since he knows that he is being targeted and has died as a stand-in, smart people will not appear at this juncture.
But she showed up.
If it weren't for the fact that she had the real trump card in her hand to bring down the fake Taijun, she would have been stupidly bumped into it.
