Chapter 37: A pit was dug for himself

My father is a master in the business field, and he has always talked about business with people, and no matter who he talks to, he must be wary of it, and he only speaks three points. I want to talk to him openly and honestly, but I often punch the cotton 'flower', quietly, and I have a sense of powerlessness that I have no place to use my strength. If I want to find out the secret I want to know from him, it will certainly not be enough to say a few words.

There is a saying that if you want to take it, you must give it first.

"Since that person can put an inch of red poison in his mother's diet more than once, it is not a matter of effort to replace it with other poisonous 'medicines' that seal his throat with blood. I originally guessed that the person had some scruples, afraid that it would be discovered that it was her hands and feet, until yesterday, when the Yiyang real person was killed shortly after leaving the house. The murderer is the 'female' person in the backyard of our Su Mansion, with profound kung fu and a sword to seal her throat. So, if she wants to sneak into her mother's room in the middle of the night to assassinate her, isn't it the same as being unaware? So, she won't hurt me for this reason, I've always been smart. ”

After hearing my words, my father was obviously surprised, his hand shook, and the water in the teacup actually spilled out: "Yiyang Zhenren was killed?" Are you sure it was our people who did it? ”

I nodded affirmatively: "Yesterday, I expected that the Yiyang real person must have been instructed by others, so I asked Brother Lin to secretly follow him after he left the mansion, and I saw the 'girl' from the Su Mansion over the wall and over the ridge, killing the real person and killing the real person." Brother Lin also 'fought' with that person, and that person knew Brother Lin. ”

Hearing this, the father looked solemn, put down the teacup in his hand, and bowed his head silently. Liang Jiu Fang sighed and said, "Tomorrow, I will ask my friends to find more martial arts guards, and I must strengthen the guards in the house." ”

"It's not just the guards, father, I'm afraid some things will affect the safety of my Su family, and it's imminent." I looked into his eyes and said word by word: "There is another hidden story in the death of the third aunt back then, it may have been killed by others, can my father know about this?" ”

The father sighed tiredly, and a trace of pathos gradually appeared in his eyes: "I really can't think of anyone who can offend such a noble and arrogant person, and there is no gap between ordinary and her." ”

I smiled helplessly: "I just went home, and I don't think I offended anyone, isn't the trouble the same?" ”

The father was silent. I told my father what I heard from Aunt Seventh about the third aunt: "That person sneaked into the house a long time ago, before the third aunt had an accident, and colluded with outsiders to harm my Su family. She has been hiding in our house for more than ten years. Although I don't know why she hasn't done it in the past ten years, but now that she has started to make a move, does it mean that she has been brewing a plan for more than ten years, and now that the time is ripe, it may be fatal. And my return to the house happened to hinder her plans, so she couldn't wait to get rid of me. ”

The father was obviously surprised: "Qingwu, I don't even know what you just said, and no one has ever told me about it. The death of the third aunt, I did feel strange at the time, and asked your mother to ask a few people in her yard, why didn't anyone mention it? ”

Let the mother follow up on the matter?

I couldn't help but sigh that my father was smart and confused for a while. As the head of the house, my mother must just want to calm things down and whitewash the peace, how can she be willing to ask about something that is not glamorous, so that the people of the entire Su family are panicked and criticized? Others will definitely think that she has no way to govern her backyard.

I can just think about these criticisms in my heart, and I must not talk nonsense in front of my father. Those who know the times are Junjie, and I think that I still have this bit of 'color'.

"There was a girl close to the third aunt in the yard of the third aunt, that is, the maid who found the third aunt's body missing, and was sent away by her mother under the pretext that she was spreading rumors, I don't know if she told her mother anything. Otherwise, this kind of thing is just a few words of scolding and admonition, and it will not be bothered to pass away. ”

The father sighed lightly and rubbed the tips of his brows with his fingers, full of exhaustion.

"I've always prided myself on being in business for decades, invincible, and I didn't miss anything, but I didn't expect so many things to happen in my family, and I didn't even know it, am I confused?"

I couldn't bear to say a word, I felt distressed for a while, blood was thicker than water, and I was my father's 'daughter', hearing him sigh like this, naturally my heart was not good.

"My father was confused, but he never took it to heart. You have been thinking about the future of the Su family, and you have no time to take care of others, maybe you have always felt that these are just some 'female' people's tricks to compete for favor, which is commonplace, so you have never paid attention to it. Especially since you rarely set foot in the backyard again, the backyard has been calm for a long time, the aunt is harmonious, and the sisters are of the same heart, so I don't care about it. ”

The father did not answer, leaning back in his chair tiredly, his eyes closed, not knowing what he was thinking. The room was quiet for a while, except for the sound of water boiling on the charcoal stove and the occasional crackling of the charcoal fire.

After a long time, I finally couldn't help but break the silence again: "Before I go to the Fuhua Temple, my father should always tell me that you and my mother will suddenly pick me up from Yunwu Mountain. So what's going on? ”

When my father opened his eyes, his original depression was swept away, and he regained his radiance: "What do you know? ”

"What are you and my mother asking me to do in the capital?"

"Qingwu, you impressed your father again today, where did you hear the news? Only me, your mother, and your grandmother should know about this in the house. My father stared at me with interest, as if trying to find an answer from my face.

Although he did not answer directly, this was already a tacit acquiescence.

"The relationship between the house is complicated, and no one's yard is ironclad, there are people who listen to the wall and walk the wall, and the house knows about it not only you and your mother and grandmother." I replied, thinking to myself that I had heard it from the root of the wall.

"I always thought that this matter was confidential and outsiders didn't know about it at all, so even if someone plotted against you, I never thought about it." The father said, "Actually, this is not a secret, but I don't want to spread it until I make a decision." ”

The father got up and walked to the window, opened the window and looked out, his little servant was in the yard in a regular manner, not leaving an inch, and when he saw his father open the window, he respectfully asked, "What does the master command?" ”

"It's nothing, I'll look at it for a few days, you send someone to the backyard to talk to Madame, I'll stay in the study tonight, let her rest early." Miss Eleven accompanied me to drink this tea and went back. ”

The little servant took the order out of the courtyard, my father closed the window, came back and sat down in front of me, and said in a low voice: "In this way, it is not necessary to speak in the house in the future at all, so be cautious if you can." ”

I hummed softly, didn't speak, straightened my back, poured out the cold tea from my father's teaglass, and poured another cup again, waiting for my father's next words.

Father still kept his voice very low: "Some time ago, Qing Wan brought back a letter from the capital, saying that the palace 'spring' election was about to begin, and wanted us to send Qingyin to the Hou Ye Mansion in Beijing. Looking forward to being able to enter the eyes of the royal family, she will use her money to help her in the palace, and she will definitely be able to win the emperor's favor. In the future, I have my own family in the Su family palace, and I also have a care.

After I received Qingwan's letter, I went home to consult with your mother and grandmother. None of them agreed to send Qingyin to the palace. Qingyin has been pampered by the seventh aunt since she was a child, lawless, arrogant, and arrogant, she went to the palace, she couldn't swallow her anger, judged the situation, and said that she would glorify my Su Mansion, I was afraid that it would cause some trouble. But this time it was a rare opportunity, so we discussed finding a clever and intelligent one among your sisters to send to Beijing. ”

"Then why did you let me go, you know that I grew up in the wilderness, I don't know how to be polite, I don't know how to write and ink, I don't know anything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, what do I do to compete with others for favor?" This is naturally the strangest place I feel, a few sisters in the house talk about talent, saying that they are slightly better, they are all elevating myself, there is no comparable 'sex' at all, it is okay to be ashamed in the house, go to the capital, the 'daughters' of the Su family are afraid that they will not be able to marry by me.

My father smiled and glanced at me: "The people who participated in the draft in the palace are all the daughters of various civil and military officials, who have been raised in the boudoir since childhood, and have specialized teachers in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, and they are all outstanding and excellent. Even if the 'daughter' of the Su family went there, she would not be brilliant. But you are different, you have excellent medical skills, this is not only a bargaining chip for you to compete for favor, but also a wrist to save your life in the palace where you are deceitful and frightening. Initially, we picked you up, just to observe and make a decision, and you have reached the age of talking about marriage. Since your return, your mother has been watching your words and deeds very carefully, and thinks that you are knowledgeable, intelligent, generous and alert, and especially that your appearance and bearing are the most outstanding among your sisters, so we decided to let you into the palace. ”

I hate to bite off my tongue in frustration, Su Qingwen, Su Qingwen, since I returned to the mansion, I have been doing stupid things, pretending to be smart, showing off, and shooting myself in the foot again and again. I dug such a big pit for myself, consciously jumped into it, and buried it.

The palace is a place where people don't spit out bones, a small Su Mansion, the intrigue between ten aunts has made me feel miserable, and when I entered the palace, the seventy-two concubines in the three palaces and six courtyards were like a group of hungry wolves who had been staring for a winter, staring at the man who was high up, with green light in his eyes, and trampling on others to climb up with his life.

is the most ruthless emperor's family, that ninety-five supreme man still holds your power of life and death, one moment he was still with you, you and me, and the next moment, he may abandon you like a shoe, and disdain to look at you with disgust. As the so-called step by step is frightening, such as repeated thin ice, one is prosperous, one is lost, and the slightest carelessness will affect the family and the nine clans.

I had a cold war that I couldn't imagine any longer.
