Chapter 404: The Past

The day after returning from the Hengshan Palace, Song Yixiao went to the Mansion of the Eldest Princess of the Jin Kingdom with a special gift.

It's not to visit the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, but to make amends to Pei Yourui - next month is the day Pei Yourui leaves the cabinet, but the Yanguo Mansion family is about to return to their hometown for the sake of succession, so naturally they can't attend the wedding of this righteous sister.

"I heard that you plan to bring the Lord of Xinling with you?" After a little greeting after the meeting, Pei Yourui asked with concern, "Will you not be able to take care of it?" After all, Xiao Qingyue is also going! Otherwise, I'll tell my mother and let me take care of the county lord, so that you don't bring trouble. ”

"Take care of yourself first!" Song Yi smiled and couldn't help laughing, "We have never been back to Sangzi, this time we have to walk around with the clansmen, and we can't say when we will come back-you will marry, how many things are waiting for you, and help us take care of the children?" When the time comes, it will be strange that He Lou Xiu does not hate us to death! ”

Hearing He Lou Duhan, Pei Yourui's eyes were in a trance, and then she smiled: "Isn't this trying to do you a favor?" If you don't appreciate it, forget it, and make fun of me like this! ”

The relationship between the two of them was very average in the past, since Song Yixiao was entrusted by Jian Limiao, opened the skylight and persuaded this righteous sister to speak brightly, although the ending was to hug and cry, but they became close to each other.

Seeing that Pei Yourui was disgusted that she didn't know the hearts of good people, Song Yixiao didn't care, and only smiled: "My sister is very well-behaved, and she has Aunt Yun with her, so it doesn't take much effort to bring her." I just don't know if there are any children in the clan who look like they are, otherwise she would have been lonely when she went there with Qingyue. ”

Pei Yourui didn't know the truth about smallpox, and when she heard this, she said: "You won't stay there for too long, after all, the third uncle and the fourth brother are leading the important envoys!" How can I stay in Sangzi for a long time? ”

Song Yixiao didn't explain to her, but said: "I haven't experienced this kind of thing, and I don't know how much time it takes, isn't it afraid that if you stay there for a long time, the two children will be boring and noisy?" ”

"That's right." Pei Yourui bowed her head and said, "Xiao Qingyue is so big, don't go back, when you come to the imperial capital again, you will forget about us, but it will make us sad!" ”

"In that case, let her give you a new salute!" Song Yi joked, "Of course, you also have to prepare a new meeting gift!" ”

Pei Yourui scolded with a smile: "I said, why did you bring so many things to me today?" I have already planned for a long time, and I have a daughter to help you get it back! ”

The two talked and laughed for a while, seeing that the time was not early, Song Yixiao was about to leave, Pei Yourui looked at the inner room where there were only two of them, and then asked softly: "What is going on with this succession?" ”

"What?" Song Yi was stunned.

"My biological mother went early, and she often came to my mother when she was a child." Pei Yourui looked at her, "So I don't dare to say everything about the Jian family, but I have also heard a lot of inside information: the most painful thing for Lao Yan Guogong is your current father-in-law, and Aiwu and Wu are also very fond of Jian Yiyu!" Over the years, Lao Yan Guogong has sent several letters to his family every year, either mentioning your current father-in-law, or worrying about Jian Yiyou's recent situation, but he has ignored the third uncle Jian and the fourth brother who are also in the imperial capital...... How could Old Yan Guogong take the initiative to ask for the fourth brother to be passed on to Third Uncle Jian?! ”

Seeing Song Yi smiling and hesitating, she sighed: "It's hard to say?" That's it. ”

"Sister Yi, do you know why our grandfather is so cold to the third uncle and husband?" Pei Yourui didn't ask, but Song Yixiao became curious, and whispered, "It is said that the third uncle and my current father-in-law are brothers of the same mother, and they are both grandfathers and sisters-in-law, why did my grandfather favor one over the other to this point?" ”

"I've heard a few words from the elderly people in the house, but I don't know if it's true or not." Pei Yourui groaned and said, "It is said that it is because although Third Uncle Jian is the sister-in-law of the old Yan Guogong, he was raised by the old lady Duanmu. ”

Song Yi smiled puzzled: "So the relationship between father and son is estranged? But after all, it's your own bloodline, right? What's more, I heard that my grandfather also agreed to do so, in order to comfort the old lady Duanmu's pain of losing her son and sister? ”

"It's been decades ago, we haven't experienced it personally, how do we know?" Pei Yourui hesitated for a moment before continuing, "When I was very young, I happened to hear a kind of argument: it was said that Old Lady Duanmu had a dispute with Old Yan Guogong over the death of Mrs. Yan Guotai, and it even made trouble in front of Emperor Huizong at that time-that would Shentu Guifei was proud, and Old Madam Duanmu, as the cousin and daughter-in-law of Shentu Guifei, should have the upper hand. But I don't know why, but in the end, the matter was closed! ”

Soon after, the last biological son of Old Lady Duanmu died, and Old Yan Guogong didn't know whether to ease relations with Old Lady Duanmu or what, so he hugged Third Uncle Jian and raised her. But even so, Old Lady Duanmu didn't have a good face for Old Yan Guogong! ”

Xu was influenced by her, and when Third Uncle Jian grew up, he returned to Jian's house and was not close to Lao Yan Guogong. Even the old lady Wen, who continued to the old Yan Guogong, was also very cold. ”

"After Third Uncle Jian married the county lord of Yishui, because the county lord was very much loved by His Majesty Emperor Huizong and Concubine Shentu, he gave a county lord's mansion - the couple lived in the county lord's mansion for a long time, and they didn't even go back to the Yanguo Mansion much."

Pei Yourui sighed when she said this, "Later, the county lord of Yishui died in childbirth, and the child was not saved. Third Uncle Jian was heartbroken, and returned the county lord's mansion to the above table, and then moved back to the Yanguo Mansion alone. After that, Lao Yanguo gave the princes a family, and Uncle Jian got the house he lives in now, and he has lived until now. ”

"So, the root of everything is the death of our grandmother?" Song Yixiao felt confused, "As Sister Yi said, when our grandmother died, Concubine Shentu was proud, and her aunt and grandmother were the concubines of Shentu Guifei's cousin, King Chengyang, if there was anything strange about the death of our grandmother, and it had something to do with our grandfather, how could this matter not be resolved?" ”

But if the death of Mrs. Yan Guotai is no problem, why did Old Madam Duanmu have trouble with Jian Pingyu in front of Emperor Huizong?

"I have a disrespectful guess." Pei Yourui thought about it and said euphemistically, "But I think it's unlikely." ”

"It's really unlikely......" Song Yixiao knew what she was going to say - when there was such a backer as the favored Shentu Guifei, the old lady Duanmu failed to seek justice for her sister, the biggest possibility is that there is indeed a problem with the death of Mrs. Yan Guotai, but it is Mrs. Tai who is to blame!

But everyone in this dynasty knows how infatuated Emperor Huizong is with Shentu Guifei, and even the Empress Dowager and Emperor Xianjia, the two concubines of the Empress Yuan, were once overwhelmed, if Mrs. Yan Guotai only made a small mistake, Shentu Guifei could reverse black and white for her with an understatement!

Unless, Mrs. Yan Guotai is so bad that Concubine Shentu can't even speakβ€”for example, the red apricot is out of the wall and confuses the bloodline!

But it has been more than 20 years since the fall of Shentu Guifei, and Nie Wuying, the "righteous daughter" of the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, is only surnamed "Nie", God knows where she came from, if Jian Limiao is not the bloodline of the Jian family, can Jian Pingyu endure it until now? Even if you don't say it for the sake of face, it's not difficult to let Jian Limiao "die", right?

Therefore, Song Yixiao thought that even if Mrs. Yan Guotai made a big mistake, she would never be such a crime.

"Then I can't guess!" Pei Yourui couldn't help, "What's more, this is just a paragraph I inadvertently wrote down when I was a child, God knows if the old servant really knows the truth, or is it also hearsay?" ”

Song Yi smiled and thought for a moment, moved to Pei Yourui's side, and said in his ear: "The real culprit of the smallpox incident, the Lu family is just a false name, in fact, it was our grandfather and the current father-in-law who did it!" ”

"That Jane is still β€”β€”?!" When Pei Yourui heard this, she was taken aback, and then blurted out, "Those two murdered you for Jian Yiyou, right?" So do you know how Jian Yiyu will deal with it? ”

Looking at her excited appearance, Song Yixiao was silent for a while before saying, "This is why when Sister Yi asked me just now, I didn't know whether I should tell you this inside story." Jian Yi Yu...... He has always advised his father-in-law not to poison us. ”

"How is this possible?!" Pei Yourui said unbelievingly, "How could he not be tempted by the Duke of the Kingdom - and what he did to the fourth brother, you don't know?" Their brotherly relationship is not good! He said in a trembling voice, "What's more, since he has spoken out to persuade him, it can be seen that he has known it for a long time!" So is he not guilty if he doesn't report it? The fourth brother and Qing Yue are still alive, what about the second prince? So how to say? That's Your Majesty's son! ”

"Even though Your Majesty loves his son, he respects his mother more, Sister Yi, don't you say?" Song Yi looked at her with a smile, and couldn't bear to say this sentence, "And my mother is famous for loving her juniors......"

"So Your Majesty deliberately cleared Jian Yiyu for the sake of his mother?" Pei Yourui understood, the light in her eyes dimmed suddenly, and muttered, "The so-called so-called he has been persuading the old prince and father not to poison you, I'm afraid it's just for his mother's sake, and he deliberately made excuses for him to get away with it, right?" ”

Song Yixiao didn't speak, and if she didn't speak at this time, it was tantamount to acquiescence.

After a long time, Pei Yourui whispered: "I know, thank you." ”

"Sister Yi......" Song Yixiao wanted to persuade her, but she didn't know how to speak, so she could only say with difficulty, "The coming day is long, I think the biggest wish of Pei University's life must be to hope that you will live well, not ...... Avenge him. ”

"I know." Pei Yourui said quietly, "What's more, I just want to avenge him now, but I can't do anything: Changxing is in the deep palace, and Jian Yiyu doesn't meet me, what do you think I can do?" I can only marry He Lou Duhan obediently, isn't it? ”

Song Yixiao shook her hand sadly: "He Lou really likes you, after Sister Yi passes the door, why don't you discuss this matter with him?" After all, he has a lot of relationship with Gu Xiang, and he is a champion with a great future, so he may not have the time to seek justice for his righteous sister in the future! ”

"Don't worry, I won't act rashly!" When Pei Yourui heard this, she closed her eyes, stabilized her emotions when she opened them, held her hand instead, and said softly, "Speaking of which, the matter of Princess Wei ...... How's your check? ”
