Chapter 162: Questioning
After making a decision, Song Jian and Song Qin packed their luggage together and hurried to Fengcheng.
An Juan and Luo Yelin discussed it, but in the end, they didn't go with them, but continued to manage the Yuanju Pavilion in Jincheng...... Let the Song family's affairs be handled by themselves.
Luo Yao left Jincheng some time ago, and when he left, he specially held a banquet, and when he learned that Luo Yelin and An Juan were not in Jincheng, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but he quickly regained his spirits and coaxed Liu Mingxi back with sweet words, and the two went back to Kyoto together, and Liu Mingxi became Luo Yao's concubine.
The person who originally insulted the family style of the Liu family became His Majesty's concubine and became a mother, and the Liu family didn't know how to deal with themselves for a while.
However, after making psychological preparations, many elders of the Liu family gathered together, and it was rare to unify their thinking, and decided to write off Liu Mingxi's past in the Liu family, and directly regard it as the glory of the Liu family in the future.
In layman's terms, it is the Liu family who erased Liu Mingxi's black history from their minds, and directly pretended that Liu Mingxi had not done anything, and became Luo Yao's concubine innocently.
Everyone actually knows that they are deceiving themselves, but the attack power of the word "imperial concubine" is so strong that ordinary people dare not judge right and wrong at all and "fabricate" the past and story of the imperial concubine.
Luo Yelin also got Luo Yao's instructions, and understood that the things that Liu Mingxi had pursued and pursued him in the past must not be able to say.
However, he didn't have any desire to show off about this, so he directly responded to Luo Yao's words, and in the following time, he simply pretended not to know Liu Mingxi, and directly put all his attention on An Ju and Yuan Juge.
Song Jian and Song Qin left Jincheng and entered Fengcheng, and under the guidance of the secret guards, they arrived next to the courtyard they had specially prepared.
The courtyard was quiet and silent, and Song Jian and Song Qin looked at each other in the face of this somewhat strange quiet, and they were a little panicked in their hearts.
Noticing their emotions, the leading secret guard explained very intimately: "Because Madame often talks nonsense, which attracts several groups of passers-by, we moved her from the center of the courtyard to the room, so as not to speak too loudly and be heard by passers-by and cause trouble." ”
Song Qin and Song Jian understood the secret guard's explanation, so the two of them thought for a moment, and did not question directly, but politely requested: "Can you bring Xiuzhen out and let her chat with us in the courtyard?" We just came to Fengcheng, and no matter what, we want to see the scenery with her first. ”
Song Jian and Song Qin made this request because they were cautious, but the expressions and tones of the two of them were very calm, so these secret guards didn't feel anything.
After nodding solemnly, the head of the dark guard looked back and glanced behind him, and two dark guards stood up, bowed their heads and responded respectfully, and then walked into the room behind them side by side, and quickly brought Li Xiuzhen out.
It can be seen that Li Xiuzhen's temper has been worn off recently, because she walked out of the room with a calm face, without any other emotions on her face, and she even looked a little insensitive, which made Song Jian and Song Qin can't help but take a few more looks.
Li Xiuzhen lowered her head and followed the footsteps of the secret guard in front of her, walking forward step by step.
Her gaze quickly paused after taking a few steps.
As if realizing something, Li Xiuzhen raised her head in silence, her eyes leaned forward, and as far as she could see, it was the solemn expressions of Song Jian and Song Qin.
"Qin'er......" She squirmed her lips a few times, and finally spat out the words softly.
Faced with Li Xiuzhen's obviously weak language, Song Qin did not act like Song Jian couldn't bear it, but snorted coldly, and then asked the question directly: "Didn't you say that you will definitely not gamble again?" How did you still get caught, and several times? ”
Song Qin's gaze made Li Xiuzhen a little uneasy, she coughed twice, and then bent down to make a weak appearance, wanting to attract the attention of others, so that Song Qin could forget about this matter for a while, and stop always asking about gambling.
But Song Qin still held on tightly to Li Xiuzhen's gambling, and asked reluctantly: "What did we say at that time?" You're going to learn to do it and never gamble in a casino again, and you won't do anything wrong, right? She thought of something, and suddenly took the signed document from the hand of the secret guard next to her, and shook it to Li Xiuzhen from a distance: "At that time, I didn't believe you very much, so I doubted it for a long time, and felt that you were very likely to violate this document, but you swore that you would never make a mistake again, what is the result?" ”
Song Qin's words were like sharp knives, poking at Li Xiuzhen's heart without a trace of hesitation, making her dazed and uneasy, and she didn't think of what to do after a long time.
In the end, she turned her attention to Song Jian for help.
Song Jian was obviously much gentler than Song Qin, he not only stopped Song Qin's chatter, but also carefully inquired about Li Xiuzhen's recent situation, and when he heard that she had not eaten a good meal, he asked a secret guard next to him to go to the Yuanju Pavilion to bring some dishes to Li Xiuzhen, which could be regarded as making Li Xiuzhen appetizing.
These guards are all business-oriented on the surface, but in fact, they each have their own thoughts on this matter.
Of course, as a group of ordinary people, the secret guards think about the same as the common people, and they all think that Li Xiuzhen is really too bad, in this case, Song Jian should abandon her and find a better woman to marry as a wife.
Hearing Song Jian's requests, while the secret guards felt that Song Jian was really good, they also felt that his tolerance for Li Xiuzhen was really too high.
However, since Song Jian made a request, the secret guards would not turn a blind eye to the princess's friends.
So a secret guard left the courtyard, and a few vertical jumps quickly arrived at the Yuanju Pavilion, and then packed some meals and brought them back to the courtyard to Song Jian.
Although the daily task of these secret guards is to obey the orders of their masters and protect the mission objectives, in fact, they all have their own minds, and they will not be stupid and do not know anything.
Just like this secret guard, when he brought food to Li Xiuzhen, he stood in front of the counter and thought about it, and ordered a few more dishes by the way, planning to give Song Jian and Song Qin a tooth sacrifice together.
His idea was very correct, as soon as Song Jian and Song Qin arrived in Fengcheng, they came to find Li Xiuzhen, and they didn't have time to eat anything.
And the extra meals he brought successfully made Song Jian and Song Qin full.
After eating on the stone table in the courtyard, the three of them breathed a sigh of satisfaction, and then Song Jian tried his best to calm down and look at Li Xiuzhen as calmly and impartially as possible: "Xiuzhen, you and I tell you the truth, you really touched gambling, right?" ”
Her gambling has been caught by these secret guards, and it is futile to deny it.
And Li Xiuzhen understood Song Jian's personality, so she didn't defend herself, but hung her head a little sadly, and nodded guiltily: "Yes, I...... I didn't resist the temptation and still went to the casino, it's my fault, it's all my fault, it's all my fault, it's all my fault, it's all my fault, it's all my fault, it's all my fault, it's all my ”
Seeing Song Jian's disappointed expression, Li Xiuzhen suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly added: "But don't get me wrong, in fact, I don't go to gambling because I'm addicted, but because I'm angry......"
Li Xiuzhen said and glanced at Song Jian cautiously, but all that caught his eye was Song Jian's cold expression, and it seemed that he didn't believe her words at all.
Thinking of this, Li Xiuzhen pursed her lips a little anxiously, and hurriedly said the next words: "Song Jian, when I was fascinated by ghosts, I went directly to the casino, and at that time, there was a man who managed us who beat and scolded me all day long, didn't let me eat, and washed everyone's clothes every day...... In the end, he wanted to sell me into a master's house that likes to kill people, if I hadn't been in a hurry and begged someone from the Wang family, I guess all you see now is my corpse. ”
didn't know that there was such a story, Song Jian was attracted by Li Xiuzhen's narration, and waited for the next plot with his eyes wide open.
Seeing that Song Jian was interested, Li Xiuzhen was overjoyed, and hurriedly tilted her head with a sad expression: "Once I approached the casino, I didn't want to go in, but I saw him at the door...... He had given me a great humiliation, and I couldn't swallow it, so I was going to go to the casino and gamble, and if I could win, I wouldn't want a penny, as long as he apologized to me. ”
After saying this paragraph, Li Xiuzhen gradually had an idea, and her tone became more and more excited, and she actually had a feeling of "doing it on purpose".
"Song Jian, you haven't cared much about my mood all along, and you don't know if I'm happy or what I want to do...... You didn't know that I was humiliated in the casino, and I didn't want you to know, so I planned to take revenge myself...... Wouldn't that work too? What else do you want from me? ”
I don't know if Li Xiuzhen is true or has good acting skills, but when she speaks, her voice is even a little choked.
This emotion infected Song Jian very well, making Song Jian lower his eyes slightly, and he didn't know how to respond to Li Xiuzhen's words for a while.
Eventually, he took a deep breath and said a few words: "Xiuzhen, I know you ......"
But before he finished his next words, he was directly interrupted by Song Qin: "Father, don't listen to her, she just did something wrong and didn't want to be told by you, so she was winning your sympathy." ”
Facing the incredulous gazes of Song Jian and Li Xiuzhen, Song Qin sneered calmly and made her thoughts outsay: "Mother had so many opportunities to chat with us before, but why didn't she say a word, and she didn't let us help deal with the casino matter, and now the incident has come up with this excuse?" ”
