After Shan Ruqing returned to the room, she finally sat down on the ground, staring at the floor with a dull gaze.

Tired, so tired.

She felt like she had fought with someone else, her bones aching and crumbling, and her body looked like a high-rise building was about to collapse.

"Miss......"

Wulu walked into Shan Ruqing's room lightly, a pair of reddened hands and a small food box.

The thick aroma of food came out of the box, which caused the long-sleeping gluttonous worm in Shan Ruqing's stomach.

With a "grunt", Shan Ruqing's stomach finally couldn't help but scream.

An embarrassed look also swept over her face, but Shan Ruqing pretended that nothing had happened, and asked lightly: "Wulu, are they okay with Old Lady Liu?" ”

"Fortunately, Xiao Biqing has fallen asleep after eating, and after knowing that she came to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Mrs. Liu seemed a little worried." Wu Lu said, his brows couldn't help frowning slightly, "Looks like ...... She seems to be hiding some secret, afraid of being discovered. ”

"That's it, it's all here, let her stay in peace!"

Shan Ruqing knew what Old Lady Liu was thinking.

Just now, when the group of them just walked to the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Mrs. Liu looked up and saw the plaque on the door, and wanted to turn around.

However, she hadn't taken two steps yet, as if she remembered something, she walked back without hesitation, took Yu Biqing's little hand, and finally followed Wulu into the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Shan Ruqing knew that Mrs. Liu had finally accepted the fact that she couldn't stay out of the matter.

What is going on in this Nanyang Palace, I believe that she will be able to get the answer in the future.

And now she is not in a hurry, she will keep people first, and everything will be easy to say in the future.

Shan Ruqing thought about it, nodded thoughtfully, then stood up, walked to the table, and looked at the three dishes and one soup on the table, although ordinary but steaming, and felt very satisfied: I can finally have a good meal.

However, when she first picked up the chopsticks, an idea suddenly came to her mind, and she couldn't help but blurt out, "What else?" Anything else? There's no movement on Daddy's side? ”

"No, the eldest young master went to sit in the master's study for a while and then went home."

Wulu said, and felt curious in his heart:

Why didn't the young lady leave the house this time to cause any reaction, as if everyone in the house didn't know that the young lady was out of the house.

And the old man is even more abnormal...... didn't even ask about it, could it be that the eldest young master had explained everything that should be explained?

After talking and stopping, Wulu finally felt that it was not good for her to say something more, and this was really a good thing for the young lady, so she didn't explore it too much.

"Strange ......"

Shan Ruqing didn't believe it, she had been out of the house for so long, and Shan Lian didn't say anything about it.

It's so perverse.

According to the past, Shan Lian had already turned over the capital, and then after he returned home, he took Shan Linfeng to the study and criticized him violently.

But why is he so quiet now?

What did Shan Linfeng say to him when he went to the study?

I don't know if he's better now......

It would be nice to have someone close to you to take care of.

Shan Ruqing seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and a smile flashed in her eyes: "Yes...... Is it true that my mother is not in the house? ”

"Ah, yes, Madame went to the temple to fast and pray for blessings, and she will not come back until next month." Wulu instantly understood what Shan Ruqing meant, and a smile also hung on her face: "Miss will be more free during this time." ”

"Alas...... Let's hope. ”

Shan Ruqing has learned not to have much hope for what has not yet happened. Now after experiencing so many things, she has learned to calm down slowly, and she has also figured out many things:

If you say that you are now living in a game, then at this stage you should still stay in the novice village, fighting monsters and improving your experience.

However, if you want to complete the ultimate mission - to find the Colorful Glass Bowl and return to the original world to save humanity - it is clear that you are not qualified enough.

Now, Shan Lunan and Shan Linfeng put forward their opinions and want to be their own teachers, which is naturally a good thing.

Because this shows that she finally doesn't have to wander around and touch porcelain everywhere, but is really ready to improve her strength.

In the next step, she will leave the Shan Mansion and go to the court to practice.

This is both a good thing and a bad thing for her.

It's up to her to take advantage of this opportunity.

However, some things in Shan Fu are also slowly coming to an end.

Thinking of this, Shan Ruqing put down her chopsticks, looked at her and stood opposite her for a long time, and finally asked, "Wulu, what's going on with my aunt?" ”

"This ......" Wulu lowered his head when he heard this, and frowned hesitantly, but he didn't know whether to say it or not.

It's not that Wuhu doesn't want to say it, but in tradition, secrets like aunts and grandmothers in the house are resolutely not to be said, even to the people in the house, they can't be mentioned.

Therefore, most of them guessed many things, and there were all kinds of versions, and no one knew which one was true and which one was false, but they were just conjectures in their hearts, and they never said it to the outside world.

Wulu is because she has been by Shan Ruqing's side for many years, so she knows some things well, but even she can't grasp the affairs of her aunt and grandmother, she only knows a rough idea.

Therefore, she is afraid that she will disappoint Shan Ruqing.

Wuhu sighed as if resigned to his fate, and said softly: "Miss, it's not that I don't want to say it, it's that I know too little about this matter." ”

"Oh?"

This made Shan Ruqing a little unexpected: Isn't it just a woman? Why did Shan Lian hide her so tightly?

Could it be ...... What did this aunt do that would threaten the entire Prime Minister's Mansion?

Shan Ruqing has been in the Prime Minister's Mansion for such a period of time, and he understands that in Shan Lian's eyes, the importance of the Prime Minister's Mansion will always be ranked first in his heart, and the rest will be in the back row. And Shan Linfeng's self-preservation character is also a bit of a single lotus.

The phrase "accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger" is vividly displayed in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and everyone's attitude of self-danger makes Shan Ruqing understand how difficult it is for the Shan family to climb to their current position.

So......

Could it be that your aunt is a victim of this process?

Could it be that Shan Lian is more ruthless than she thinks?

However, Shan Ruqing finally felt that Shan Lian would not be so ruthless:

His own life was saved by him.

After hesitating for a long time, Shan Ruqing clenched his sleeves and said softly: "Say it, say whatever you know." ”

Shan Ruqing was very uneasy:

Yinjian's departure, Shen Qingchang's serious illness, Xiaoji's abnormality, and even Aunt Yan's accident all seemed to her like a prelude to a storm, and there was an extremely dangerous atmosphere in the Shan Mansion.

And now, Shan Lian has also fallen, and Mrs. Shan has gone to the temple, even if she has two months to leave Shan Mansion to go to the palace.

Was this a coincidence, or was someone deliberately arranged?

"Miss, my aunt and grandmother were suddenly imprisoned in the Lonely Spring Courtyard fourteen years ago, at that time, the old man said that the aunt and grandmother were sick, and no one was allowed to approach the Lonely Spring Courtyard, and the aunt's daily food, clothing, and housing were all taken care of by the lord himself."

Wulu said this, and couldn't help but recall the scene of that day in his mind, and he still feels that everything on that day is vivid:

"The Lonely Spring Courtyard has been sealed, don't go there again in the future, if there is an accident, I'm afraid it will be the same as those people."

Shan Lian looked down at the servant kneeling on the ground, and her tone pierced everyone's knees like ice needles, making them feel that their legs were heavy.

Early this morning, the two maids who were originally serving my aunt and grandmother were suddenly killed.

The people in the house didn't know what the specific situation was, but someone saw two corpses covered with white cloths carried out of the Silent Spring Courtyard, and the heart-rending screams of my aunt and grandmother also came from the courtyard:

"I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you! Kill you! Kill! Kill you! ”

In less than half an hour, the Silent Spring Courtyard was surrounded by guards, and Shan Lian also summoned them to the hall in the front yard and asked them to pay attention to "be cautious in their words and deeds".

At that time, Wulu had just come to the house, and she didn't know who her aunt was, she only knew that the master asked them not to get close to the Lonely Spring Courtyard, so she had never been there, and An An just took care of the young lady.

However, the little finch who lived in the same house as her didn't think so.

"Wulu, let me tell you, it turns out that the peaches and plums were killed by my aunt and grandmother!" The little finch danced and said, and the freckles on his face also jumped at this moment, and he was a little frightened when he saw the green:

Auntie, did you kill someone? So, the peaches and plums were not cleaned up by the master, but killed by the aunt and grandmother?

"Haha! Look at you stupid! Seeing that Wulu's jaw was about to drop, Xiaoque slapped Wulu's shoulder with his right hand, and suddenly came to her ear and said: "I tell you, you must not tell others - aunt and grandmother, you have lost your heart and are crazy, and you are shouting to kill people all day long!" ”

As he spoke, the little finch stretched out his hand and made a "click" gesture on Wulu's neck, and Wulu was shocked, but looking at the triumphant look of the little finch, Wulu quickly calmed down:

Xiaoque has always had a big mouth, and whether he is telling the truth or not remains to be considered.

"Hey, let me tell you, you must, you can't tell anyone!" Xiaoque directly buckled Wulu's neck this time, put his forehead against his forehead, and said softly to Wulu: "Do you know why your aunt is crazy?" Because she was pregnant, but the child she gave birth to was lost by the master. ”

"What did you say?" Wulu suddenly felt that what Xiaoque said must be false: her aunt and grandmother are not married yet, how can she get pregnant?

And even if you're pregnant, why not keep the baby? Do you have to throw it away? Is it possible that the Prime Minister's Mansion can't afford to raise a child?

"These are all told to me by others, you must not say it, otherwise Aunt Yan will kill me!"

Xiaoque said solemnly, but it made Wulu cry and laugh a little: Doesn't this make it clear that these words were said by Aunt Yan?

However, why did Aunt Yan spread these words? She's not going to be so old and confused, is she?

"How do you know this?" Wulu asked lightly, and there was more exploration in his eyes when he looked at the little finch.

"Well...... Silver, of course. Xiaoque pursed her lips a little displeased, and muttered in a low voice: "Qian Qian Qian, Aunt Yan seems to have fallen into the eyes of Qian!" ”

"Oh~" Wulu was relieved, stroked the little finch's back with a smile, and comforted: "The most well-informed in the house is the little finch." ”

"That's it!" As soon as the little finch heard this, she immediately laughed, and she talked about other things with the little finch, and the green listened without saying a word, but she never thought that this was the last time she and the little finch would meet.

In the afternoon of that day, the body of the little bird was fished out of a dry well next to the Silent Spring Courtyard.

Before she could see the Sparrow for the last time, she heard that the Sparrow's body had been disposed of.

Since then, Wulu has always lived alone.

"I really don't know the rest." After Wulu finished speaking, he met Shan Ruqing's questioning eyes-

"Wulu, if I'm not mistaken, you're sixteen years old, right?" Shan Ruqing said, her tense face looked a little tired.

Wulu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and subconsciously replied, "Yes." ”

"Fourteen years ago...... How did you experience it? ”

As soon as the words fell, the air in the room froze.
