Chapter 399: A Sudden Letter
On this day, Xie Yiren didn't say goodbye until the evening, and personally sent her away, and the nurse took Jian Qingyue to freshen up, Song Yixiao returned to the back hall with the bell, and the smile on her face faded.
"Madame, are you troubled by the letter sent by Marquis Boling a few days ago?" The bell made her a cup of tea and asked softly.
"I usually have nothing to do with him, but he suddenly wrote to invite me to meet alone, which is really incomprehensible!" Song Yixiao took the tea and took a sip, lowered her eyelashes and said, "The appointed time is the day after tomorrow, and my husband is going on a business trip that day, and I am free-but I haven't thought about it yet." β
After Wei Mengying's death, Song Yixiao has been secretly pursuing the truth.
But because I only arrived in Cuihua Mountain this year to catch up with smallpox, most of the summer vacation, Jian Xubai father and daughter were flowering, and then recovered, and they were busy pleading with the emperor and queen for the affairs of the second prince, and for the care of the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom and other elders during the smallpox period to thank them one by one.
I finally breathed a sigh of relief, and I had to pack up my things and go back to the imperial capital.
After coming back, the matter of the succession here was put on the agenda again.
After being busy all the way, the matter of tracking down the truth about the death of the biological mother was naturally put on hold for the time being.
Unexpectedly, Yuan Xuepei suddenly quietly sent a letter over.
The letter was very short, only saying that there were important things I wanted to talk to her about alone, hoping not to let Jian Xubai know.
In fact, Song Yixiao didn't tell the truth, the reason why she hesitated to go to the appointment was not because she couldn't understand Yuan Xuepei's purpose.
It was precisely because she vaguely guessed the purpose of this Marquis of Boling.
I'm afraid it has something to do with Wei Mengying's death!
After suspecting the Lu family, the Lu family was exposed by the second sister-in-law of the mother's family because of the secret relationship with Yuan Xuepei, and even caused Empress Wei to ask in person - how could Song Yixiao not guess that the Lu family's dealings with Yuan Xuepei may not be private. love, but most of them are conspiring to kill their biological mother?
Yuan Xuepei has always been shrewd, and he guessed this, so he took the initiative to write a letter to himself, right?
"Since he wants to ask me to talk, there is obviously an explanation." Song Yixiao felt heavy when she thought of this, she knew her mother's personality too well, and she might have cheated the Yuan family brothers and sisters at some point, so that she provoked Yuan Xuepei's murderous intention!
And then what was she going to do?
Ignoring her conscience and continuing to seek revenge, she couldn't bear it; Just like that, she also felt uneasy in her heart - it was really a dilemma!
Song Yixiao drank the tea slowly, countless thoughts turned in his heart, and he couldn't help but sigh in frustration: "It's better not to check it sooner, and pretend that you don't know anything!" β
But this idea is just a matter of thinking about it - not for Wei Mengying, but for her sister Lu Cui'er, unless she doesn't notice the suspicion, how can she figure it out.
"To go, or not to go?" Song Yi smiled and considered the pros and cons: It has been half a year since Wei Mengying died, and it is not a solution to keep this matter in her heart for a long time.
To be honest, Song Yixiao hopes to find out the truth as soon as possible and put an end to this matter.
Not only for one of her own thoughts, but also for Lu Guanyun and Lu Zhuo'er - her two younger siblings are still young now, and the people around them have not told them these grievances. But children will eventually grow up, and even if the subordinates don't say anything, they may have to ask themselves.
Song Yixiao didn't want them to carry this burden again, so she thought about clearing the account by herself before they grew up.
The eldest sister is like a mother, although Song Yixiao has Jian Qingyue under her knees, and it is impossible to take care of Lu Guanyun and Lu Zhuo'er all the time like a real mother, but she still wants to remove the thorns in the future for her younger brothers and sisters as much as possible.
It's just that after Song Yixiao finally decided to go to the appointment, she was not very relieved about Yuan Xuepei.
Since this person was able to conspire with the Lu family to kill Wei Mengying, who knows if he will attack her?
It is true that Jian Xubai attaches great importance to his wife, but Song Yixiao knows that Jian Xubai also takes Yuan Xuepei as a brother.
He may set a bias between his brother and his wife, and really ask him to kill his brother for his wife...... Hard.
What's more, even if he is willing to do this, Song Yixiao is no longer there at that time, what will her younger brothers and sisters, her daughter?
"If that Marquis Yuan really harmed our princess's mastermind, then he must have bad intentions towards Madame!" The bell whispered, "So the slave thinks that you must not go, madamβafter all, we have limited manpower, what if we get caught in his secret hands?" If you want to be safe, unless you ask for help from your grandfather. However, some things about the princess are not easy to tell the grandfather! It's ......"
As Wei Mengying's old servant, and an old servant he relied on, Bell still had ideas about avenging Wei Mengying.
However, since the change of position, this idea has gradually faded.
The reason is very simple: the suspects who have been identified so far are the Lu family and the Marquis of Boling!
And these two, Song Yixiao may not be able to retaliate, the problem is the price of revenge: how can the Lu family say that she is also Song Yixiao's maiden stepmother, Yuan Xuepei and Jian Xubai have a small friendship - the former Lu family has recently collapsed, and the orphans and widows of the Song family are the most sympathetic time, no matter whether it is reasonable or not, who will do what to the Lu family, public opinion is enough to drink a pot!
As for the latter, it may directly affect the relationship between husband and wife!
And Bell is now switching to Song Yixiao, of course, he has to worry that the new master will be disgraced in order to avenge the old master, and even fall out of favor - the old master is gone, but the new backer can't be called to fall!
At this moment, she said, "But how many days have you been worried about this matter, madam, it is not a way to drag it out like this." Why don't you let the slave go on your behalf and see what Marquis Yuan has to say? The slave and maid are just subordinates, and the marquis of Yuan will not anger you for the sake of the slave and maid's life. Therefore, if the slave and maid go, it will be safe! Moreover, even if Marquis Yuan lays out any traps, if something happens to the slave maid, it can give you a wake-up call! β
- As long as Song Yixiao agreed to let her go to the appointment on her behalf, no matter whether Yuan Xuepei was involved in Wei Mengying's death, she would have to whitewash him, and even whitewash the Lu family!
But Song Yixiao turned the tea bowl and was silent for a long time, but shook his head: "No, I'll go in person!" β
She raised her head and looked at the blue sky in the court, "There are some things that you have to face after all unless you hide for a lifetime." β
And if she wants to hide for the rest of her life, she can do nothing at first, believing that everything is the sin of Mrs. Pang.
The bell was in a hurry: "Then what if Marquis Yuan laid a trap?" β
"I will follow the instructions in the letter and not tell my husband, but I didn't say it, I won't take the people from the Guogong Mansion with me!" Song Yi glanced at her with a smile and said lightly, "So you don't have to worry about my safety, forgive Yuan Xuepei for not having that ability, and attack me in front of the guards of the Guogong Mansion!" β
She is not stupid, since she suspects that Yuan Xuepei will be unfavorable to her, how can she only use her own manpower?
With the level of the people in her hands, she was only half a street away from Bolinghou and was taken to the alley by the neck and asked, how could she rest assured that she would hand over her safety to such a subordinate?!
As for saying that the guards who used the Guogong Mansion must not be able to hide it from Jane, how to explain it to her husband afterwards - let's talk about it then!
After all, what bothers her the most at the moment is this showdown.
Two days passed in a blink of an eye, and the day soon came to the time agreed by Yuan Xuepei.
The location is in a tea shop in the north of the city.
The location of this tea shop is very remote, and there are no people around, so I think this is the reason why Yuan Xuepei chose it.
However, he still wrapped up the entire tea shop and cleared the scene - when Song Yi laughed, Yuan Xuepei personally greeted him at the door, and when he saw Yu Shiheng and the others who were escorting, he did not show a look of disappointment or surprise, and said hello to Yu Shiheng with a pleasant face: "I heard that you are about to become a father?" It's really gratifying. β
Song Yixiao was in no mood to greet him, and after getting out of the car, he held his hat and asked, "Go in and say?" β
"Please!" When Yuan Xuepei heard this, he no longer paid attention to Yu Shiheng, turned his wheelchair, and said, "The courtyard of this tea shop is quite interesting, let's go to the courtyard and talk about it!" β
- What he said is interesting, but it is because the atrium of this tea shop is very wide, but there are no furnishings in it, it is clear at a glance, only a one-person high rockery is erected in the middle position, and a pavilion is built on it.
From any angle around, you can see what is happening in the pavilion clearly.
"What does Madame think of this place?" Yuan Xuepei looked at Song Yixiao and hinted that Yu Shiheng arranged for the guards to inspect all the rockeries in the pavilion before he said peacefully, "You and I go into the pavilion to talk, and the rest of the people are around, okay?" β
Song Yixiao stared at him for a moment before saying, "Okay!" β
