Chapter 240: Killing with a Knife

Song Yixiao didn't return to the Yanguo Mansion until the beginning of twilight.

When she came back, Jian Xubai was already a little anxious, and when she saw her wife enter the door, she hurriedly got up to greet her: "If you don't come back later, I'm going to the palace to askβ€”how is my mother-in-law?" ”

Song Yixiao didn't want to listen to Wei Mengying at all, and frowned slightly when she heard this, but she was afraid that her husband would find out, so she hurriedly covered it up: "My mother's face is not very good, and I have to lie down for a few days when I listen to the people on the left and right." ”

"Now that I've been saved, I'm sure I'll be fine." Jian nodded and comforted, "What's more, my mother-in-law is in the prime of life, and she will definitely get better after a few days of rest." It's you, your body is already weak, this time it's not all good, so you went to the palace to walk around, don't go out again, it's serious to have a good life. ”

But he never mentioned asking Aunt Yun to show Wei Mengying.

Song Yixiao was so upset that she didn't even notice it, and she casually said that she wouldn't go out, but she remembered it again: "The thirteenth of this month is your birthday, and it's only two days until now, but you have to hurry up!" ”

"What's there to do?" Jian Xuan laughed and said, "You didn't do it on your birthday, and of course it is the same for my birthdayβ€”not to mention that now that you need to recuperate, how can you worry?" ”

"How?" Song Yixiao disagreed, "My birthday coincided with the death of Uncle Yi, so the original family banquet naturally had to be canceled." ”

Jian smiled and said, "Isn't this the end?" Uncle Wang passed away in early February, according to the system, we have to serve five months of small work, this is only April, there is no day at all, what kind of wine to do what birthday? ”

In fact, although the system he said is correct, in fact, in the five suits of chopping decay (cui, tongyi), qi decay, great gong, small gong, and qi (si) hemp, because they are served by close people such as parents, grandparents, uncles, etc., most people will follow them, whether emotionally or morally; But the three suits below the self-esteem, because the relationship is relatively estranged, except for a few people who are courteous, or have deep feelings, they are relatively loose and sloppy.

For example, Ji Zifu and Su Shaoling were officially married not long ago - Ji Zifu is also the nephew of King Yi.

But neither the government nor the opposition accused him of not paying attention to King Yi and marrying during his uncle's filial piety, this is not only because the prince's faction wants to keep his head in obscurity, but also because there are more people who have fallen into this kind of matter, and the people on the prince's side are no exception.

So Jian Xubai is saying this now, purely to be considerate of his wife.

Song Yixiao naturally understood, insisted on a few words, and saw that he must not be willing, sighed, and didn't mention it, only felt that he had just bargained with Wei Mengying for most of the day, but he was in a lot of heat in her husband's place.

couldn't help but rub against Jian Xubai's side, stretched out his arm, and threw himself on his shoulder-Jian Xubai turned his head with a smile: "What's wrong?" ”

"Nothing." Song Yixiao lazily hugged his neck and said lazily, "Let me lean on him!" ”

As he spoke, he rubbed his head in his shoulder socket like a cat.

Seeing this, Jian Xubai smiled, let her get tired of herself, and only said: "Zhuangzi sent a lot of cherries, I think it's good, if you don't get tired for a while, you will give each punishment a point - my aunt and grandmother don't want to deal with us these days, and she doesn't want to say why, take this opportunity to send one too, to see if her old man is a little angry?" ”

There have been a lot of things during this time, and recently there was another one out of the Hengshan Palace, if he didn't mention the old lady Duanmu, Song Yixiao almost forgot about this elder, and frowned when he heard the words: "Why did you say that my aunt and grandmother misunderstood us?" These days, we have been posting two times in three days, but we have not been allowed once! ”

He asked again, "The third uncle doesn't have a clue there?" ”

"Tell us sooner?" Jian Xubai pinched his eyebrows and said gently, "But it's still important to your body, if you feel tired, let Qiaoqin and Jinxun do this!" ”

"But if you give me a few words, and don't want me to pick the fruit with my own hands, why can't I bear it?" Song Yi smiled and pushed him, "Where is it so delicate?" ”

Jian Xubai was about to answer, but Ji Su announced outside the door: "Grandpa, a few urgent items have been sent from the yamen, saying that they will give instructions immediately!" ”

"It's important to get down to business, go quickly!" Song Yi smiled when she heard this, hurriedly got up from her husband's shoulder, and said thoughtfully.

"Later, Qiaoqin will send medicine, the candied fruit in the jar over there is your favorite food, and after taking the medicine, take a few and wash it to taste." Jian bowed his head and said a word of advice before leaving.

It's just that when he arrived at the study in front, there was no urgency in the study, but Yuan Xuepei, who was wearing a green shirt, was waiting for him with his sleeves folded.

"How's it going?" Jian Xubai was not surprised by this, walked to the main seat, took off his robe, sat down, and asked in a deep voice.

"Except for the people around Princess Wei, who are not easy to start, any other clues that can be deduced that Princess Wei had sent someone to inquire about Lan Hui's entry and exit from the pharmacy have been swept away." Yuan Xuepei's tone was flat, "As for Princess Wei's henchmen, it is expected that she can even treat Mrs. Song as an outcast, but those people have two hearts, but we don't have to worry about it!" ”

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sneer, "This princess is really good - when Lan Hui went to dispense medicine for the concubine, although she was dressed in disguise, she bought the medicine with her front foot, and Princess Wei's people from the back foot came up and asked her what she bought." In order not to attract attention, the concubine asked Lan Hui to disassemble the prescription and went to more than a dozen shops to catch it. Such an obvious mistake, if we didn't help finish it, would she think she could hide it for the rest of her life?! ”

"It's because she expected that we would help, so she didn't do it herself, not to mention that she didn't have this manpower." Jian Xubai heard this, but said lightly, "Otherwise, who do you think stuffed the letter that revealed that she had sent someone to keep an eye on Lan Hui in your mansion?" ”

β€”β€”It's not been a few days since the death of the ancestor and grandson of the princess of Hengshan, and they are not idle people, if it weren't for the fact that the door of the Marquis of Boling Mansion found an anonymous letter in the crack of the door two days ago that indicated that it was handed over to Yuan Xuepei to be opened by himself, how would they think of going to Chawei Mengying?

As a result, after such a check, I had to deal with the aftermath of Wei Mengying!

They can't help it if they don't take it: Jian Xubai dotes on his wife, and naturally hates this mother-in-law who intends to use his wife's life as a stepping stone, but the problem is that Song Yixiao is indeed Wei Mengying's own flesh and blood, if Wei Mengying is ruined, the sentence "If there is a mother, there must be a daughter", I don't know how much trouble Song Yixiao will bring in the future!

Especially Song Yixiao, in order to avenge Zhiqin, has already left a criminal record with the Queen Mother, the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, the county lord of Qingjiang and other cadres, if there is such a ruthless mother who does not recognize her six relatives, even if the Queen Mother and the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom have saved her before, they must have a bad heart, right?

As for Yuan Xuepei's willingness to pinch his nose and suffer this loss, in addition to worrying about Jian Xubai's desire to protect his wife, it was because the letter was thrown in his door - on the premise of knowing that Wei Mengying was a poisonous woman who was so ruthless that even her own daughter could ignore it, how could Yuan Xuepei not worry, she dared to throw the letter on her own door, she must have enough back hands to pinch Yuan Xuecao?

Although the two of them hate Wei Mengying very much, now they have to sweep away any clues that may suspect her, lest Song Yixiao and Yuan Xuexu be involved by her!

Whether it is Jian Xubai or Yuan Xuepei, they were born and grew up in wealth, and they have been used to being commanding since childhood, but they suffered such a big loss in the hands of Wei Mengying, and their mood at this moment can be imagined!

"Mrs. Song is shrewd, even if Princess Wei definitely doesn't want her to know about this matter, she may not be able to do so, right?" Yuan Xuepei pondered for a moment and said, "I heard that Mrs. Song went to Hengshan Palace, to see Princess Wei today, I don't know how she will feel when she comes back?" ”

Jian Xu's white eyes deepened, and then he said: "This kind of thing, no matter how wronged she is, how can she open up to me?" That's her own mother. ”

"I can't say anything to herβ€”it's still the same sentence: it's her mother!" ”

This is tantamount to admitting that Song Yixiao also realized the truth of the tragedy on the birthday of Princess Hengshan.

And repeatedly emphasized that Wei Mengying is Song Yixiao's mother-in-law, how could Yuan Xuepei not hear the faint hints?

There was a slight smile in his eyes, and he said gently: "If something like this happens between mother and daughter, it's no wonder that Mrs. Song is sadβ€”but Princess Wei has been reluctant to deal with the Yanguo Mansion since Mrs. Song left the cabinet, and since this is the case, it will be rare in the future...... Even if she doesn't see it, maybe Mrs. Song will soon forget these unpleasantness. ”

Jian Xubai did not hesitate for a moment: "That's exactly the truth!" ”

…… After a while, Yuan Xuepei said goodbye and left, and Jian Xubai took out a few letters from the desk that he had brought back a long time ago, and Ji Su waited for the pen and ink to deal with it.

"Grandpa, the princess of the in-laws is too arrogant!" Ji Su said in a low voice while studying ink, "She sat back and watched the princess of Hengshan die, she was already unfilial, unkind, unrighteous and disloyal, but she still wanted to use our wife's life to clear her suspicion - she was already mad here, and she actually dared to submit a letter to the Marquis of Boling!" ”

Jian Xubai quickly browsed the official letter and sneered: "Do you really believe that the letter was sent by Wei to the Marquis of Boling's Mansion?" ”

Although he had long known that Wei Mengying was treacherous, because he loved the house and Wu, he had always respected this mother-in-law, and when he was filial to the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, he never forgot to send a copy to the Hengshan Palace. But this time, Wei Mengying's approach has touched his bottom line - leaving his wife, Jian Xubai didn't even bother to shout "mother-in-law".

Ji Su was stunned: "What? ”

"The letter was brought by Xue Pei himself." Jian Xubai mentioned Zihao, dipped it in the inkstone, and wrote the disposal strategy in the blank space of the letter, and said lightly, "Wei sent someone to keep an eye on Lan Hui, and Lan Hui was ordered by the concubine to catch the medicine separately, and Wei put together a specific poison from the medicine that Lan Hui caught, and then prepared the antidote to make the plan successful-this experience was also told to me by Xue Pei after he went to 'investigate', and even the so-called 'aftermath for Wei's aftermath' was also done by him." ”

Putting the approved letter aside to dry the ink, he said in a playful tone, "From beginning to end, these are his one-sided words!" Could he have produced any evidence other than the God knows who wrote the letter? Even when I asked him about the aftermath, he passed by, didn't he? ”

Ji Su was dumbfounded, and said after a while: "What does Grandpa mean...... The letter...... Did Master Hou do it? ”

"Xue Pei is a well-known sister who loves her, and what Wei did this time pointed at Lu Guanlun, which is equivalent to pointing at Lu Guanlun's wife!" Jian Xubai put down Zihao, moved his wrist bone, and said lightly, "In this case, Wei Shi still has to send a letter to stimulate him, and it's strange that Xue Pei doesn't fight with her!" How could Merriam-Webster be so unwise? If you really want to submit a book, you should also vote for the Yanguo Mansion - at least Shanyao and her are biological mother and daughter, this is the bloodline that is constantly cut! ”

So when Yuan Xuepei came to him with that letter, he knew that this was just a play directed and acted by Yuan Xuepei - the purpose was to test his attitude and whether he agreed with Yuan Xuepei to attack Wei Mengying!

"In the end, that's Shanyao's mother, Shanyao almost died in her hands this time, but she is still covering up for her in front ......of me," Jian Xubai picked up the pen again and said with a sigh, "The grievances and entanglements between the bloodlines are the most difficult to break, if I make a move, in the future, Shanyao will know, and maybe he will have a gap with me - Xuepei does this, which is also a good thing!" ”

The wife he held in the palm of his hand was reluctant to say a word of weight, how could he allow others to do harm?

Song Yixiao's mother-in-law can't do it - if it weren't for the identity of his son-in-law, he would have stabbed that Princess Wei with his own hands when he knew the truth!

Therefore, knowing that Yuan Xuepei was planting a false temptation, Jian Xubai not only "believed" it without hesitation, but also took the initiative to say that the letter was done by Wei Mengying, and the plan was naturally to kill people with a knife!
