Chapter 7: The Disaster of Innocence
After a while, everyone walked into the hall surrounded by an old man with loose hair.
Wen Cang and Wen Dai stepped forward.
Wen Cang said: "Grandmother is well?" It is really the manifestation of the ancestors, blessed by blessings. ”
Wen Cang and Wen Dai helped the old lady to the seat alone.
Last night, the owner's blood was splattered on the spot, and there were still mottled blood stains on the seat.
Wen Dai said: "Come on, replace it quickly." ”
The old lady said: "Mother and son are connected, blood is thicker than water, and it is not in the way." ”
With that, he walked over and sat down.
Wen Cang and Wen Dai turned around and knelt down at the bottom of the steps.
Youwei whispered to Yu Yao, "Did you smell a strange smell?" ”
Yu Yao hurriedly motioned for her to shut up.
Wen Cang said: "My grandson is not filial and is unable to support Linglong Villa, so I even caused my grandmother to get up from her illness. ”
The old lady said, "Cang'er, you have done a good job. It's just that you are still young and inexperienced, so you will inevitably be deceived by small people. The old woman is old, and half of her body is in the ground, so I will be the wicked person. ”
The old lady turned to Youwei and said, "The eldest princess of Yong'an of the Great Zhou Dynasty is coming to Linglong Villa, I'm afraid it's not just as simple as being a guest. ”
Everyone was amazed.
Although Wen Cang had already seen through Youwei's identity, he didn't want his grandmother to say it so bluntly at this moment.
The old lady said: "Cang'er, Dai'er, I came to see Her Royal Highness the eldest princess." ”
Wen Cang and Wen Dai got up, but did not salute.
Wen Cang said to the old lady: "Grandmother Mingjian, this is Miss Yu Jia, her maiden name is Youwei, she came to the village with her brother, and she is not an eldest princess. ”
Yu Yao also said: "The junior Yu Yao has seen the old lady, and the sister has never left the house since she was a child, so she has never come to ask the old lady for peace, so it is no wonder." ”
The old lady sneered: "Young Master Yu is indeed a fake, but this girl is not Miss Yu. I heard that Yu Gongzi had already been a concubine of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the princess was both killed on the wedding night, and now Yu Gongzi appeared in Linglong Villa, and the old man dared to ask, I don't know where the eldest princess of Yong'an is? ”
Youwei saw that this old lady was deaf and clear-sighted, and the person who came was not good, so she couldn't avoid it, so she took a step forward and said: "I've seen the old lady, yes, I am Guo Yongan for the rest of my life." ”
Yu Yao thought to himself: "In the palace for three months, this princess's temperament has been learned. That's fine, I have to see the trick. ”
The old lady's face sank and she said, "What is the matter with the princess and the horse coming to the village?" ”
Wen Cang said: "Tell my grandmother that my son is in trouble, and he finally got out, so he came to the village to take refuge." ”
The old lady said: "I'm afraid it's not that simple!" I heard that your mother's close maid testified against her with her life, is it for no reason? ”
Wen Cang said: "There is no evidence of death, it is very suspicious, and it is not enough to rely on." ”
The old lady said: "Cang'er, you are too young and knowledgeable to know the sinister nature of this river and lake. Then why do you say that the imperial court soldiers who besieged the villa came from? ”
Wen Cang said: "From ancient times to the present, people from all walks of life have coveted the private collection of Linglong Villa, and it is common for the imperial court to send troops to attack. ”
The old lady said, "You are wrong. The court got the news and knew that the eldest princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty appeared here, so he led his troops to attack. The two of them are the ones who covet my Linglong Villa! ”
Youwei said stiffly: "My imperial brother is a son of heaven and rich from all over the world, how can he have any covetousness?" ”
The old lady said: "Joke, no emperor after Xuanzong dares to say that he is rich all over the world!" You must have come for the dice to play. ”
Then he said to Wen Cang: "Cang'er, now that you are the master of a village, you must not be indecisive in doing things!" The two people concealed their identities and plotted against each other. Then your mother's personal maid sued, why don't you take them down quickly? ”
The old lady shouted to Bai Xi: "Someone! ”
Yu Yao saw that the situation was not good, and he had already protected Youwei behind him.
Wen Cang said: "Wait! Grandmother, the Yu and Wen families are world friends, so it is probably inappropriate to take people abruptly without evidence. ”
The old lady said: "Having said that, but is your parents' enmity just ignored? ”
Wen Cang said: "Please grandmother let her grandson for a few days, and the grandson will find out the truth, if it is really related to them, it will not be too late to take it." ”
The old lady said, "Never! This young man is very skilled, but I am afraid that he will let the tiger return to the mountain. ”
Wen Dai stepped forward and said softly to Wen Cang: "Brother, grandmother is weak and can't stand anger, don't make her old man angry at this time." Since my grandmother is afraid that my brother will escape, it is better to put her under house arrest. The princess has never practiced martial arts, but she doesn't care, and she still comes and goes freely. If it is found out that it is indeed not related to them, then ask your grandmother to release them. ”
Wen Cang was helpless and said, "This is the only way for now. ”
The old lady said, "That's what Dai'er said. ”
Wen Cang said to Yu Yao: "Brother Yu, I have not greeted him well since I entered the village, not only did I bother Brother Yu to join forces with me to fight the enemy, but I also ......."
Yu Yao said: "Brother Wen, although I don't know why the imperial court suddenly sent troops to attack, since the old lady said that it is related to the princess, then we can't escape the blame." House arrest is house arrest. It's just that the princess has just recovered from a serious illness and has gone through wind and frost all the way, so don't be embarrassed by her. ”
Wen Dai interjected: "Brother Yu, don't worry, sister, I will take care of her and will not let her be wronged." ”
The old lady glanced at Bai Xi, and Bai Xi had no choice but to step forward and say, "Young Master Yu, please." ”
Yu Yao had to go with him, and when he looked back halfway, Youwei had already burst into tears.
Suddenly, Youwei said, "What are you doing with me alone?" Since I have married you, life and death will go with you. ”
The old lady sneered: "The princess is really affectionate and righteous!" Why do we still do this good thing? Take it with you! ”
Bai Xi took the order, took the two down, locked them in a dark room and left.
There are no fingers in the dark room.
Youwei said: "Didn't you say that it was house arrest? How did you get locked up in such a dark room? ”
Yu Yao couldn't bear it anymore and reprimanded: "You can come and go freely, why do you want to get caught in it?" You can also reveal some news for me outside, so that I can figure out the ins and outs, how can I be okay now? ”
Yu Yao has always been polite and soft-spoken, but suddenly this can startle Youwei.
The tears that Youwei had just put away began to flow down again.
In the dark, Yu Yao couldn't see her, only heard her sobbing incessantly.
"You're not there, I'm afraid."
Don't look at it in front of everyone in the Wen family, Youwei looks like an eldest princess, but she is actually a fox and a fake tiger, and her heart is empty.
Yu Yao's heart softened, regretting that he shouldn't have done this to her.
She is a little girl who came from nowhere, and she has never seen much of the world, how can she know so much. If it is really Sister Yong'an here, there is no tacit understanding, but in the current situation, why should she be harsh.
Yu Yao sighed, patted her shoulder with a voice, and said, "Don't cry, it's me who is not good." ”
Youwei said: "You were affected by me, and it was all my fault. ”
Yu Yao said: "This time it is indeed me who is too rash. What is this Linglong Villa? There must be a reason why we can stand in the chaos of war for a hundred years without falling, and this is where we can take advantage of it. ”
Youwei slowly suppressed her crying and said, "What can I do now?" ”
Yu Yao said: "This secret room is not bright, like dark night. But my heart began to lighten. Let's think back carefully on the experience of these two days, so that we don't have to worry about the context of the matter. ”
Youwei said: "Brother is right. ”
Yu Yao said: "In the villa, the owner's family Wen Jufan is dead, and Mrs. Wen Dai is in a poisoning coma. The rest are only the old lady, Wen Cang, Wen Dai and the second lady. Among the servants, there are the guards Bai Xi, the housekeeper Uncle Tang, and the two maids in green shirts who are dying and biting us. Then count the white blessing and red dye who serve us, and Wen Dai's personal maid Wumeng. If you and I are not murderers, then the murderers must be among these people. ”
Youwei said: "I'm afraid the servants won't be the masterminds, who is in charge of this villa, aren't they still slaves and maids?" ”
Yu Yao said: "You are right. Then there were only the old lady, Wen Cang, Wen Dai and the second lady. ”
Youwei said: "The old lady is the mother of the owner of Wen Zhuang, how could she harm her own children?" Wen Cang and Wen Dai will not harm their parents. It seems that the second lady is the most suspicious. ”
Yu Yao said: "There is some truth. However, it seems that the second lady is the least suspicious in this matter, she was sick a few days earlier, and she was not present at the banquet. ”
Youwei said: "Although I am not at the scene, it is difficult to guarantee that I will not fake my hands to others." ”
Yu Yao said: "But the second lady has no motive." If she and Mrs. Wen are not in harmony with each other, it makes sense to want to compete for favor or status. But Master Wen Zhuang is his husband, what good can she leave him behind? ”
Youwei said: "Could it be that there is any past relationship or grudge that we don't know?" ”
Yu Yao said: "But it doesn't make sense. We don't know about the past or grudge, and no one in the Wen family should know about it. Since we can think of her, aren't we afraid that the old lady and the Wen Cang brothers and sisters will also think of her? ”
Youwei remembered something and said, "That's right! I met her in Mrs. Wen's room, and she looked weak and deceitful, and she didn't have any opinions. ”
Yu Yao said: "Who can't do superficial kung fu, don't believe it." You remember, Linglong Villa is not as simple as we used to think, even Wen Cang and Wen Dai can't believe it. ”
Youwei said, "I see. The rivers and lakes are sinister, and now I really see it. If I knew this, I might as well stay in the capital. ”
Yu Yao sighed: "I also regret taking you into danger on my own initiative, I thought I would be able to protect you, but I don't want to have someone outside the world, there is a sky outside the sky." We were sent to the door and the real murderer was put into the game. If my expectations are correct, I am afraid that the Han suddenly sent people to attack the mountain, and someone deliberately leaked our whereabouts. ”
Youwei said: "Leaking our whereabouts is not like what Wen Cang, Wen Dai's brothers and sisters, or the owner's wife did. They can find an opportunity to tie us up and give it to the imperial court, so why bother? ”
Yu Yao said: "That's true, looking at the old lady's appearance today, she did eighty percent of the leakage of news." ”
Youwei said: "But Linglong Villa is independent and has never been with the imperial court, what benefit can she get by doing this?" ”
Yu Yao said: "Maybe they want to drive us away, or they want us to take the blame." ”
Youwei couldn't help but shudder at the thought of the old lady's sneering face one after another.
