Chapter 29 What is Lustful?
Si Jingmo was guided by Huo Yubai, and after leaving the Huo family, he took Huo Yuqi to the Nie family.
Standing in front of the Nie Mansion, there is a feeling of being suddenly separated from the world.
He hadn't been to Taifu's Mansion for almost six years, and he was afraid of seeing things and thinking about people.
"Night Soul, you call the door!"
“……”
Nie Jun knew that King Jing was visiting and brought a family to the door to greet him.
"The old minister greets King Jing! Greetings to Your Highness! ”
Si Jingmo's face was cold and hard, his expression was indifferent, and his eyes were sharp and cold when he looked at Nie Jun.
As long as he thought that Nie Rujin was killed by someone, and Nie Jun, as his father, didn't realize it, and buried everything with a word of suicide, he couldn't get angry.
"Master Nie! This king was ordered to investigate the cause of Miss Nie's death, there are some things that need to be understood, so he came to visit, didn't bother, right? ”
Nie Jun looked respectful, "Don't bother, it's about the little girl, it's hard to work for King Jing." ”
Si Jingmo pursed his lips and hugged Huo Yuqi into Nie's house.
The Nie family followed.
When he arrived at the main hall, Si Jingmo took a seat, holding Huo Yuqi in his arms.
Night Spirits and Shadows stood to the left and right of Si Jingmo.
The Nie family all bowed their heads respectfully.
"Sit down!" Si Jingmo said in a deep voice.
The Nie family sat down in turn according to their status, eldest and youngest.
Si Jingmo's sharp gaze swept over the faces of Nie Jun, Nie Lady Meng, Nie Yuntao, the eldest son of the Nie family, and Nie Ruyi, the third young lady.
"Lord Nie, when Nie Rujin's death was claimed to be a suicide, did you think so from the beginning, or were you misled?"
Nie Jun thought of what happened at the beginning, and his expression was a little trance-like, "That day, it was the Double Ninth Festival in early September, and Ru Jin didn't take half a step out of the boudoir all afternoon.
Ruying said that Rujin went out to enjoy chrysanthemums in the morning, and saw the second son of the Royal Prince's Mansion traveling with Miss Tang, and was in a bad mood, so she came back and locked herself in the room.
Lao Chen didn't care much about the private affairs of these children, so he ignored them.
It wasn't until the evening that the girl went to call Rujin for dinner, only to find that the door was locked.
Lao Chen was very angry at the time, feeling that Rujin had no bearing, and he was bored for a long time at a trivial matter, and no one answered when he knocked on the door, so he let people bang on the door.
When I entered the house, I let people turn the lamp, and found Rujin lying on the ground, curled up, bleeding from her seven orifices, and her body was already cold. ”
Si Jingmo's fingertips curled stiffly, trembling faintly, his heart clenched tightly, thinking of the letter......
She said that the poison entered the throat and intestines, burning the internal organs, the pain was unbearable, it was difficult to vomit, it was impossible to survive, and it was difficult to die.
She said, "Heaven should not be, and earth should not be spiritual."
All afternoon, she died in the house, unnoticed.
Just thinking about it, he could know how desperate she was at that time.
At that time, he was in Shuiyue Nunnery, and he had a fun time with a strange woman.
Heartache, self-blame.
Nie Jun was immersed in his thoughts, and continued, "The old minister found a letter written by the second prince of the Royal Prince's Mansion to Rujin on the table, and bluntly said that she didn't love Rujin, even if she was married, she would definitely not marry Rujin.
There is also a half-embroidered mandarin duck pillow on the table, as well as a pot of tea, which the old minister asked the government doctor to test, and it is poisonous.
All kinds of signs made the old minister mistakenly think that Rujin committed suicide for love...... And I haven't doubted it for so many years. ”
Si Jingmo's eyes were dark, "What about the maid who serves Rujin?" ”
"King Jing should know that Rujin Xijing doesn't like maids to serve, so maids basically don't enter the house without her permission." Nie Jun said.
Si Jingmo's brows tightened, and his face was ugly, "Even if you are not allowed to enter the house, the maid should stay by the door, or ask the master if he needs tea after a while." Throughout the afternoon, didn't the maid care about Rujin? Isn't anyone aware of anything wrong in the house? ”
"This ......"
"Mrs. Nie! You attach importance to state affairs, this king is pleased, but I hope you care more about family affairs, if you don't teach your family, why teach the countrymen? ”
Nie Jun lowered his head, "The old minister is ashamed!" ”
"This king asks you again, whose idea is it to let Nie Ruying marry instead?"
"This ...... It was a decision made by Wechen after consulting with the lowly. ”
Si Jingmo's eyes darkened, "What about the dowry that the county lord of Guluo brought to the Nie Mansion?" What about the dowry that should have belonged to Rujin? ”
"This ......" Nie Jun's face was embarrassed, and he stopped talking, "This ......"
Si Jingmo's face was cold, "Say!" ”
"Rujin is no longer there, and there is no one in the Rujun Palace, so the lower officials are in charge of their own affairs, and take half of Rujin's dowry to add makeup to Ruying......"
"You're bold!"
Si Jingmo slapped the table angrily, furious, "Nie Jun! Although Nie Rujin is your daughter, don't forget, she is the only bloodline of King Rujun in this world, and she is also the heir of the King of Rujun!
She was born, her dowry belonged to her, and when she died, the dowry would be all buried with her, did the people of your Nie family make it?
Even royal things dare to be used, are you going to rebel? ”
"Wechen is terrified!" Nie Jun hurriedly knelt down.
The rest of the Nie family also knelt down in unison.
Si Jingmo looked at the Nie family condescendingly, his eyes were sharp and cold, "Taifu Nie, this king has always respected you, but he doesn't want you to be so confused!"
The county lord of Guluo is a royal person, she married you at the beginning, and the list of dowry is recorded in the royal family.
The king will give you half a month, Rujin's dowry includes all the rewards given by the emperor and the queen mother, and I hope you will hand it over as it is.
All of this will be given to Rujin to accompany her funeral, and no one will use it!
Also, the maid who served in the courtyard back then, it was best for Mrs. Nie to start investigating and take the initiative to provide clues for the king.
If this king asked the criminal department to arrest people, he probably wouldn't be so polite, and it wouldn't be good for Nie Taifu's reputation.
Remember that letter from the court, right? Who sent it to the emperor? How many secrets does that person know? Will there be more clues in the future?
If you don't know, you can't do it unless you do.
I hope that Mrs. Nie will investigate carefully and truthfully explain what he finds.
If there is concealment, the day the truth is revealed, it may not be good for Nie Taifu's career, after all, there is no room for sand in the eyes of his father, especially when it comes to Rujin.
I hope that the people of Nie Mansion will do it for themselves! ”
Si Jingmo's cold eyes swept Meng Shi and left with Huo Yuqi in his arms.
Meng Shi was flustered by that look.
Out of Nie's Mansion, it was getting late.
"Daddy, let's go find Sister Yu."
Si Jingmo suppressed his anger and looked at Huo Yuqi helplessly, "Why don't you leave your sister Yu in three sentences?" Didn't you say it, I'll go to her when I'm off. ”
"But ......" Huo Yuqi lowered his little head and his little face was depressed, "I want to sleep with Sister Yu, Sister Yu's arms are soft and warm." If my father had hugged Sister Yu, he would definitely want to sleep with Sister Yu like me. ”
Si Jingmo's head was full of black lines, and his eyes became stern, "You are so young, why are you so?" ”
Huo Yuqi's dark and bright eyes were ignorant, "What is lustful?" ”
