Because of Qingtan's affair before, Pei Yaowei didn't have time to find any clues related to Mrs. Shen, so he left the Prime Minister's Mansion, and now he is in Beilin, and in Zhao Xian's old residence, thinking about this matter again, it is inevitable that the regret will be deeper.

Looking at the painting, she suddenly sighed, and Mr. Yiyuan asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Pei Yao stroked the corner of the scroll, frowned, and said: "This painting is damp, and the ink is wet......" She studied it repeatedly for a long time, but she couldn't see what was originally written, and she couldn't help coughing, and sighed in her mouth.

"April 16 of the 10th year of Wu Yao......"

The hoarse voice came from the side, gratuitously ethereal, Pei Yaoyan heard it too clearly, so clear that it made her whole body stunned.

Turning her head to look at Mr. Yiyuan, she asked, "What did you say?" ”

Behind the hat, the always clear one-eye was full of confusion, and Mr. Yiyuan opened his mouth, "I ......"

"You said that this small piece of ink is written 'April 16 of the 10th year of Wu Yao'?" Her brows tightened, and her tone became urgent: "How do you know? ”

yes, how do you know?

Mr. Yiyuan asked himself the same question, but he only shook his head in the end.

"You're going to see your mother?"

Pei Yaowei came out of Su Lingzhai and hurriedly ran to Zhao Ju, met straight to the point, and said that he was going to see his aunt.

Seeing that Zhao was surprised, she asked, "Is it inconvenient?" ”

Zhao Ju shook his head.

"That's not it, it's just that since my father left, my mother moved to live in the Josawa Mountain Villa—you know, it's two days away from Beilin, and it's not like she just goes." As he spoke, he glanced at her with a little meaning, "Plus your business...... I haven't had time to tell her yet. ”

Pei Yaowei also knew that it must have been a little embarrassing for him to suddenly bring up this matter, but there were some things that ......

Now that she has touched the thread, whether she can find out the truth or not is all on the eldest princess.

"Actually......" she thought slightly, "It's not filial to say it, I want to see my aunt, not because I am in a hurry to recognize my aunt." ”

Zhao Ju looked suspicious and asked her why.

She thought for a moment, and Fang carefully asked, "...... Cousin, do you still have any memories of your uncle? ”

As soon as he heard this, Zhao Ju's face sank.

He frowned slightly, "Why did you mention him all of a sudden?" ”

"I can't say that now, but I ......," she said, "I want to ask my aunt about some things about my uncle." ”

After thinking about it, she corrected again: "-I must ask my aunt." ”

"What's the point?" Zhao asked her: "You were only five or six years old when he left, do you remember him?" Or is there some kind of nephew relationship with him? ”

Today, when the Duke of Yasukuni was still the son of the world, he cultivated himself calmly and prudently, and he easily did not get angry, but at the moment, when he mentioned his uncle Zhao Pai, he was a little out of honor.

"Cousin......" Pei Yao sighed, and persuaded patiently: "I know that when my uncle ran away, my uncle was angry and hurt the roots, and you felt a little unbearable in your heart for this matter."

But it's up to you to restart Priming...... I know that you still have a remembrance of your uncle. ”

Zhao Ju closed his eyes, "So what?" ”

Pei Yao pondered for a moment, carefully grasped his words, and said tentatively: "Have you ever thought that the matter of running away back then may be ...... Wasn't it my uncle's intention? ”

Zhao looked at her suddenly, and the advantage of the wind in his eyes was close to the sword.

Pei Yao responded to the scalp and continued: "Or, he didn't run away at all?" ”

When the words landed, Zhao stood up.

Three days later, Josawa Hill Annex.

Zhao arrived one day first, and when she came, the eldest princess had already learned about the true identity of Princess Chu from her son.

Relatives recognize each other, as if they are separated from each other. The eldest princess is now old and soft-hearted, Pei Yao thought to herself, if it was a few years earlier, her aunt knew that she had been reborn for so long and had never come to recognize her, so she had to pick up the bamboo board and cook herself, but now that she met, after confirming her identity, she just hugged herself and cried.

"Your cousin said you have something to ask about your brother-in-law."

After a long time, when her mood stabilized a little, the eldest princess changed her clothes and cleaned her face, pulled her to sit in one place and talked, and asked her, "What is the matter?" ”

"Aunt......" Pei Yaowei took out Shen Tingru's portrait from the package she brought with her, and showed it in front of the eldest princess: "Have you ever seen this painting in the past?" ”

The eldest princess's face was pale, and it took a long time before she stretched out her hand with a complicated face and stroked the pen and ink that had accumulated over the years.

"Isn't this a portrait of the girl from the Shen family?"

When she saw the dissolved ink, she couldn't help frowning and said distressedly: "...... Tsk, it's a good payment, it's all wet......"

"That's exactly what happened!" Pei Yaowei said eagerly: "Uncle, do you still remember, what was originally written in this payment?" ”

Although she hurried over, in fact, she didn't dare to hold out much hope in her heart. Unexpectedly, the eldest princess said almost without thinking about it: "I remember the sun and the moon - April 16, it was painted by your brother-in-law on the day of his eighteenth birthday!" As for the vintage......"

"It's the year he left—" At the mention of this, a touch of sadness appeared in her eyebrows, "Wu Yao ten years." ”

Pei Yao's whole body trembled, and her eyes widened.

“…… So, are you sure that the damp part that should have been written was 'April 16th of the 10th year of Wuyao'? ”

The eldest princess nodded.

She still remembers that when Zhao Dispatch returned to Beijing, he once took this painting to introduce himself to him, saying that the person in the painting was his favorite person. At that time, she noticed the time of the payment, and asked casually, and saw the kid explaining with a smile on his face, saying that a few days ago, on her birthday, the girl of the Shen family did not have time to prepare a birthday gift for her life-saving benefactor, so she was coaxed by him to sit there and draw a portrait by herself, and the whole work was her mind.

Thinking of it at this time, she could still vaguely see that the kid was a young man who didn't know what it was like to be sad and was full of energy. But she didn't understand, after many years, what did Pei Yaowei do at this time to entangle the payment on this old picture scroll?

Thinking like this, she looked at Pei Yaowei and was surprised to find that her face was very scary at the moment.

The eldest princess's heart jumped, and she asked tightly, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Pei Yao looked at her in a daze, stammering, and it was difficult to speak.

When she left from the eldest princess on this day, she immediately asked Zhao to return to Beilin by letter and invited Mr. Yiyuan over.

Two days later, Mr. Yiyuan sat in front of her, lifted his hat, and looked at her like a madman.

"I-" He pointed to himself and asked her, "Zhao Xian?" ”

Pei Yao nodded firmly.

Mr. Yiyuan smiled: "Princess, what are you kidding?" ”

She shook her head, her expression very serious: "I'm not joking, you should know in your heart." ”

Her eyes were full of deep meaning, and she was telling him: I don't believe it, after the payment of the picture scroll that day, you didn't have any ambiguity in your heart.

Mr. Ichigen seemed to grasp what she meant, and turned his head unnaturally away, avoiding her gaze.

Pei Yao pondered for a moment and said, "Xiao Di told me that you were in an accident and were rescued by Mrs. Zhao, and when you woke up, you forgot everything and didn't remember anything.

I counted the days, the year you had an accident was the tenth year of Wuyao, and my brother-in-law disappeared and ran away, and it was also in Wuyao for ten years. In time, it coincides exactly. ”

Mr. Yiyuan sneered: "Based on this alone, you dare to make an assertion? ”

Naturally, this is not the only one, otherwise, she would not have to wait until today to connect these secrets.

"Wu Yao's tenth year and April 16th-" she said: "I have checked with the eldest princess, she has seen the portrait of Mrs. Shen, because the date of the payment is special, it is the day of the uncle's eighteenth birthday, so even after many years, she still remembers it very clearly." ”

"Sir, tell me too, if so...... If my guess is not correct, then how did you blurt out this day at that time? ”

Mr. One Yuan couldn't tell her.

"You're thinking wrong." After a long time, he asserted, "I can't be Zhao Xian. ”

His brain was in a mess, and a sharp pain suddenly appeared, gradually spreading and flooding, making him breathless.

He got up, his brows furrowed more and more, not knowing who he was trying to convince, and said again: "How can I be Zhao Xun." ”

At this moment, Pei Yaoyan looked at him and suddenly realized that no matter what the truth was, at least in his heart, he was repulsed by this possibility.

He didn't want to be Zhao Xun.

She thought about it, patiently changed the conversation, and suddenly asked: "Dare to ask sir, on the day I got married to Xiao Di, in the Jiyang County Mansion, have you ever seen Chaorong?" ”

Mr. Yiyuan's expression changed suddenly, and he turned his head to look at her for a long time before he reluctantly asked, "...... So what? ”

That's what I've seen.

Another thing responded to her own speculation, and for a while, she became more and more confident.

After a moment, she took a deep breath and asked, "Do you know that Chao Rong died on that day?" ”

And for a long time, his newly recruited apprentice Xiang Yao also thought you were a murderer from the bottom of his heart.

Mr. Yiyuan obviously didn't expect her to say this, and said in shock: "What did you say?!" ”

"Looks like I'm right."

Pei Yaowei has almost pushed everything out at this time, why did Chao Rong die that day? Why can someone kill or injure people in the busy county mansion, but not set off a single storm?

Who is the murderer?

She took a deep breath, rolled her sleeves, and said, "Chaorong should have seen you that day, and he ......"

With that, she looked up and looked at him.

She said: "He should have seen who you are, and with his temperament, he probably wanted to tell the world about it."

I think he took a step of naïve chess, and before telling the world, he first went to find the person who killed his precious apprentice, intending to avenge his apprentice, but he didn't want to be killed instead. ”

She said slowly, and at the same time, staring at the person opposite.

"The second son of Xiang once told me that Chao Rong's last words before he died were to ask him to tell me something, but unfortunately, he only said two words and swallowed his breath."

And those two words are: I have.

What's there?

What does he have?

Before, she couldn't understand the following words, so she put these two words aside, but now......

She remembered that she had reached a consensus with Chaorong as a companion-

He promised her that as long as he didn't have tangible evidence in his hand to prove that the world had wronged Lingqiu Hou, he would not bother Shen Tingru again for a day.

She said: "He should have wanted Xiang Jun to tell me that he has evidence." ”

Hearing this, Mr. Yiyuan held on to the table and slowly sat down again.

He asked, "What evidence?" ”

"The whole world has wronged the evidence of his precious apprentice."

"Lingqiu Marquis Zhao sent never eloped, but evidence of being killed."

She stared at him stunned and said, "You are the witness." ”
