Chapter 51: Old Things
"You slut...... cough cough cough ...... "Hou Ye seemed to be a little excited, coughed violently, the voice made the old grandson tremble, faintly uneasy suppressed the previous curiosity, and some regrets followed, but there seemed to be a feeling in the dark that dragged him to stay, not allowing him to leave.
Hou Ye coughed for a while, and he watched his wife drag a stool and sit down on the edge of the bed.
The eldest prince stood farther away, also with his back to him, and it seemed that from the beginning he had just watched quietly, neither making a sound nor moving.
"You slut, you ...... What are you doing with this wild seed? You guys...... ...... Get out—"
Hou Ye's shouting and scolding were mixed with intermittent coughing and rapid and heavy wheezing, which startled Lao Sun's mind to go blank.
He finally realized what a secret he had broken into and which might well lead to trouble for him, and his reason told him that he should leave at once, and forget everything he had seen and heard tonight, as if he had never met them.
However, man is really a very contradictory animal, even if he is sensible, he still does not move, but subconsciously opens his mouth wide, staring at the eyes inside and staring at them wider, so that they are a little sore.
Although all he could see was the backs of the lady and the eldest prince.
"You shouldn't know, if you don't—how nice!" The lady sighed lowly and said quietly.
"...... Get lost...... Ahem, cough, cough, cough ......" The old marquis began to cough violently again, and the voice sounded as if he was about to cough out all the internal organs.
"Release, bring the medicine." After the Hou Ye's coughing slowed down a little, the lady instructed the eldest prince who had been silent for a long time.
The expression on her face when she turned back looked very gentle, just like the usual gentleness of the elegant and dignified housewife they saw on weekdays, but her gentleness was very strange in the eyes of the old grandson now.
And the bowl of medicine that the eldest prince slowly brought over seemed to have become a monster with life in his eyes, and he looked at the movement in the room with a strange and numb expression, feeling that his breath was almost gone.
"Hou Ye is not in good health, the concubine personally boiled medicine for Hou Ye, Hou Ye drink it while it's hot." Madame took the white porcelain bowl brought by the eldest prince, pinched the small porcelain spoon in one hand and slowly stirred the medicinal juice in the bowl, and the sound of the spoon colliding with the medicine bowl was crisp and clear.
"You ...... You slut, get out—" Hou Ye also seemed to realize something, and his voice became even angrier.
"Let go, help the Hou Ye well."
"Get out of here—get out—don't let this wild seed come over—Ahao—Ahao—" Hou Ye's voice became a little hysterical, and his emotions seemed to be a little out of control.
Madame just sat quietly on the stool, still stirring the potion unhurriedly.
"Yes!" After a while, the eldest prince's voice sounded low, and he couldn't hear the emotion.
He squatted down beside the bed, and then the old grandson heard Hou Ye's more excited and angry scolding, mixed with coughing sounds.
Then the lady leaned over to the bed with the medicine bowl in her hand......
Hou Ye's voice continued, and the old grandson who was lying on the window felt that time and the surrounding breath seemed to be frozen, and he slowly sat down on the ground, raising his hand to cover his mouth tightly.
After some time, the room finally fell silent, and no more sound came out.
As if aware of something, he desperately controlled his limp legs, and cautiously returned to hide under the pomegranate tree.
The sound of the door opening sounded, and the lady and the eldest prince hurried away with the medicine bowl, and did not find him hiding under the tree.
He waited for them to leave and waited for a while before he felt frightened and returned to the small hood in front of him.
Early the next morning, there was news in the house that the Hou Ye was seriously ill and died, and I heard that the lady almost fainted because of too much grief.
……
The story of the old grandson is told in detail, although he has already known about this matter from the mouth of the Qi family, but now listening to the old grandson in detail, it still makes people feel incredible.
The late old marquis was such a majestic and shrewd person back then, Hua was able to do such things under his nose, and it was not until more than ten years later that the incident occurred, and judging from the situation that night and the fact that there was no turmoil after the old marquis died, I am afraid that the Hou Mansion has long been under her control.
Hua's mother's family is not obvious, she can do this without foreign aid, in addition to her own scheming means, it is not difficult to guess that the person who secretly communicates with her is only afraid that the real means are very, and the person with such scheming means has been hidden in the shadows for so many years, and I am afraid that the purpose is not simple.
"Can you see the height and size of the man in black?" Shangshu of the Criminal Department asked after sorting out his thoughts a little.
The old grandson thought for a while, and finally shook his head blankly: "Villain, villain doesn't remember." ”
Shangshu of the Criminal Department frowned, in fact, even if Lao Sun Tou saw and remembered clearly that day, more than ten years have passed, I am afraid that even if the height of that person has not changed, I am afraid that the body shape will change somewhat, not to mention that finding a person with an unknown name and identity and accent in the vast sea of people is really tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.
It's just that, according to what Lao Sun Tou said, if Zhang Fang really personally led the way to this person back then, but he was respectful to this person, I am afraid that even if this person is not his biological father, the identity must not be simple.
It is very likely that Zhang Fang's life experience is also the key to unraveling his collusion with foreign countries.
"Who was the first to find out that Hou Ye was dead?"
"It's Hou Ye's personal servant, Ah Hao." Old Sun Tou replied quickly.
"Where did he go that night?"
"I don't know, I heard that he only found out when he went in in the morning."
The old grandson was also very puzzled about this, but he definitely didn't dare to inquire about it at that time, and no one in the mansion seemed to know that there was no one guarding the Hou Ye's courtyard that night, so there was no one to investigate where Ah Hao and the mother-in-law who guarded the yard went.
There are obviously problems with these things, but no one knows about these problems, and although the old grandson knows, he can only rot the things he knows in his stomach.
"Where is Hao now?" Shangshu of the Criminal Department continued to ask, but he faintly felt in his heart that he was afraid that this clue had already been cut off.
Sure enough, the old grandson said: "The people around the Hou Ye were all sent out by Mrs. after a year or two, and even the people in other courtyards were also replaced a lot. Ah Hao heard that he had returned to his hometown of Yuzhou. ”
Master Shangshu asked some other questions, but when he saw that he really couldn't ask anything, he ordered someone to take the old grandson down first.
