Chapter 114: Even if you are amazed by the world, it is difficult to hide the end of the road after all!
Song Yixiao settled her husband's difficulties with a beauty plan, and was about to take advantage of the victory to pursue, mentioning the matter of manpower in the house, who thought that she was still brewing a speech, the door was suddenly knocked, and Jin Xun was a little nervous and said: "Grandpa, grandma, Miss Qibiao only brought a maid, knelt at the back door and begged grandma to take her in!" β
"Cousin Chan?" Song Yi was startled and immediately wanted to break out of her husband's arms, but Jian Xubai tightened her arms and didn't let her leave, and scolded impatiently through the door: "The huge mansion, just find a yard and let her clean it up first?" You have to ask everything, don't you have a brain yourself! β
Jinxun: "......"
Although Wei Chan is Song Yixiao's cousin, she will be in trouble and come to ask for help, without the permission of her master, how dare they, the subordinates, let her in? Not to mention the placement afterward!
But these grievances Jinxun didn't dare to tell Jian Xubai, and said "yes" tremblingly, and hurriedly retired-but she left, but Song Yixiao was not at ease, turned her head to avoid her husband's kiss from bowing down, and frowned: "I only sent someone to Wei's house in the morning to pass on the message, and I came back in the afternoon to tell her, saying that Cousin Chan is quite calm." Why are you coming to the door now? Shall I go and see for myself? β
"She only brought a maid to the door, and eight times out of ten. Nine is crying and crying, you will pass, either to see her cry or to cry with her, horizontal and vertical is useless! Jian Xubai squinted slightly when she heard this, and said with a smile, "It's better to let someone take her to calm down, and when we meet you, we can quickly explain things clearly, right?" β
He also said, "You are worried about her, just because you are afraid that something will happen to her, but she has come out of the Wei family, not to mention the ponds and rivers along the way, the hairpin on her head and the bracelet on her wrist, if you really want to die, are you afraid that you can't do it?" Since you came to our house and asked to take us in, how could you take the narrow road again? What does it matter if it's too late? β
You are serious with me now!
Hearing the subtext of his displeased words, Song Yixiao weighed it, so he had to hold back the scorch, raise his swan-like snow neck, and lean back on his shoulder.
It wasn't until the meal was ordered that Jian Xubai reluctantly let go of his wife - the two of them sorted out their robes and called in the subordinates, Song Yi smiled and asked Wei Chan: "Where is my cousin?" β
"The Apricot Pavilion in the southwest corner." Jin Xun didn't dare to answer because he had been scolded by Jian Xubai just now, so Li Yu had to come out and say, "Miss Biao came in a hurry, she didn't bring a change of clothes, the slave maid made her own opinion, sent a set of grandma's old clothes over, and asked grandma to punish her!" β
"That's as it should be." Song Yi smiled and said, "What else does she lack, I will take everything I have here first......"
Speaking of this, he glanced at her husband - Jian vaguely understood what she meant, but said: "Your cousin is young and unmarried, and there are no elders in our house, if you call her to eat together and spread it, won't it hurt her reputation?" β
Song Yi smiled helplessly, and said to Li Yu: "You tell your cousin that your husband is busy with official business these days, and he is in a hurry to eat, so he is afraid that she will come to restrain her." And she's tired from running around today, so it's better to rest in the Apricot Pavilion, and I'll go see her later! β
Li Yu said: "The slave understands! β
She went down to deliver the message, and the couple ordered dinner to be served. After using it, Jian Xubai went to the study to dispose of the official business he brought back as usual.
However, when he got up, he didn't immediately move, but looked at his wife and said, "I don't have much to do today." β
"I'm not going to stay too late at the Apricot Pavilion." Song Yi smiled and thought about it for a while, then sighed and promised.
Jian Xubai left satisfied.
"Go to the Apricot Pavilion." Song Yixiao went back to the inner room to change her clothes and skirts, and ordered left and right.
Although the apricot hall is in the backyard, it is very far away from the Keshao Hall where the couple lived.
It will be late in the morning, and it will be inconvenient to walk through the rockery between the flowers and trees, so you can only walk from the verandah - zigzag, it will be farther, Song Yixiao walked halfway, and couldn't help complaining: "How can you arrange your cousin in such a corner?" β
"The slave maid thought that since Miss Biao came in through the back door, she obviously didn't want to be seen by too many people." Jin Xun led the way with a lantern, and explained cautiously when he heard the words, "That's why I chose a clean corner to place it, if grandma thinks it's inappropriate, the slave will clean it up later?" β
What she said was half-true and half-false, although she considered Wei Chan to think about it; was also frightened by Jian Xubai's scolding just now, and didn't dare to arrange this ill-timed Miss Cousin near Keshao Hall - what if she was bumped into by Jian Xubai, she thought that her sister-in-law was in the way, and she would find out which maid did the stupid thing?
Song Yixiao didn't know her careful thoughts, but felt that it made sense, so she said: "You don't need to change it for the time being, I'll talk to her later." β
After walking a long time for tea, the master and servant and his party can be counted as having arrived at the Apricot Pavilion.
Although this place is far away from the main hall, but now look at the lamp, you can vaguely see the carved beams and paintings, the vermilion column and green tiles, the flowers and plants under the stairs are lush, and the hanging bells at the eaves are jingling, gorgeous and not lost. Exquisite.
Placing Wei Chan as a cousin of the same generation is not a slack.
"Miss Cousin is here!" Because when Li Yu came to spread the word before, she said that Song Yixiao would come, Wei Chan's maid Su Die had been waiting outside the door, and when she saw the figure, she was immediately overjoyed, and greeted her and asked for An Dao, "My young lady is counting on you now!" β
Song Yixiao didn't answer this, but said, "I'll take a look...... Did she use dinner? β
"Miss can't eat it." Su Die took the lead and smiled bitterly, "I'm waiting for you!" β
While talking, they had already passed through the small atrium outside the Apricot Pavilion, and after entering the door, they bypassed a floor-to-ceiling mica rosewood screen carved with landscapes, and saw Wei Chan hanging her head and sitting alone in the guest seat, but she hadn't seen her for two or three days, and her originally slightly rounded chin was already a little pointed.
When I look up, the light that flashes under my eyes instantly reminds me of a shooting star.
- A bloom at the cost of life, blooming in splendor on the eve of destruction.
Even if it is amazing to the world, it is difficult to hide the end of the road after all.
"What Lu Sangongzi said, yes, or no?" The cousins looked at each other for a moment, Song Yi smiled and waved his hand, let everyone go down, sat down on the top, and asked straight to the point, "If not, why does Lu Zimiao have your purse in his hand?" β
Her eyes were slightly cold, "I remember, when you were in Hanxia Xiaozhu, you only made a purse, and you asked me to point it out that time - I also joked and asked if you gave it to me." At that time, you said that it was for practice? β
"I brought that purse back to Wei's house." Wei Chan looked away, no longer looked at her, and said in a hoarse voice, "I lost it a few months ago!" β
"Lost?" Song Yi frowned with a smile, and was about to say something, but she said a little faster: "After Qiaoqin went to Wei's house this morning to spread the word, my grandmother was ruthlessly investigated, and a rough envoy in my yard was punished, but she stole it, and exchanged it for a golden hairpin with Bo's mother's daughter-in-law!" β
Song Yi laughed and swallowed back the words - her heart sank suddenly, she took a deep breath, and then asked with the hope of chance: "You offended Mother Bo?" β
"I offended my aunt!" Wei Chan smiled, but there was no smile in her eyes, but she revealed a heavy dead air, her expression was very strange, "I put the incense stick given by the concubine into Cousin Yun's house!" β
Song Yixiao almost subconsciously stood up!
"Cousin Yun is fine now." Wei Chan spoke up at the same time, "Otherwise, where would I have the opportunity to come to your cousin?" I was killed by my aunt a long time ago, didn't she? β
Song Yi looked at her with a smile for a moment, making sure that she couldn't find any regret or guilt in her eyes, so she sat down slowly, slowly, and said with a low smile: "Just because the concubine promised you the position of the world's wife?!" β
"That's your cousin!"
"He's only four years old!"
"Do you remember when you just arrived at the Hengshan Palace, he pulled your skirt and chased you and called your cousin?"
"From the moment he landed, the brothers and sisters who can play together, except for me, are you !!"
"What's more, the concubine doesn't even look down on her mother, how can she really want you to be her granddaughter-in-law?!"
Her expression was calm and waveless, but the two lines of tears slowly slid down, "You...... How did you do it?! Why are you stupid enough to do this!? β
When Wei Mengying sent Lu Guanyun to Hanxia Xiaozhu, Song Yixiao thought that her mother was a thief shouting to catch a thief, but she didn't want to, although Wei Mengying did have such a thought, but she was also crooked!
But who would have thought that the real murderer was Wei Chan who was personally ordered by Wei Mengying to receive the palace?!
Thinking that Lu Guanlun was in Hanxia Xiaozhu, Wei Chan was also there for a few days, even if he knew that his younger brother would be safe and sound, Song Yixiao also felt chills: "...... when Hanxia Xiaozhu was there"
"Cousin Yun sticks to you like something!" Wei Chan interrupted lightly, "I just want to do something, and where is the opportunity?" β
Song Yixiao has never been so glad for her brother's pestering!
It's just that after rejoicing, she also felt incredible: "You did such a thing, you deceived me before, and begged me to help you find a way to pay it back, but now that you said it, you still want me to take you in?!" β
"Cousin, do you remember, after the concubine's birthday, you sent Zhao's mother to ask me, did you suffer a grievance on your birthday?" Wei Chan said lightly, "At that time, I didn't admit anything...... Within a few days, I went back to Wei's house. β
Seeing Song Yi smiling, she laughed, put down the tea bowl she used to warm her hands before, and slowly pulled up her wide sleeves.
"What are you ......" Song Yixiao was puzzled at first, but soon thought of something, the blood on his face faded cleanly in an instant, and the original doubts in his eyes turned into deep fear and disbelief!
The wide sleeves are pulled to the shoulders, and the exposed snow-white arms are a little vermilion, shining like red plums in the snow.
Song Yixiao involuntarily reached out and pressed his chest, and there was a kind of dizziness for the rest of his life!
But!
Wei Chan picked up the handkerchief, dipped it in the tea, and gently rubbed it on the vermilion, and the original bright color disappeared in an instant!
"I found a home remedy at home, and I could cheat it when I was in the cave room, but the palace sand on my arm couldn't be lit." Wei Chan glanced at Song Yi, who was pale, with a mocking face, and said lightly, "In order to hide people's eyes, you can only use rouge to fill up the number first." Look at it again, fake, fake in the end! β
Song Yi smiled and clutched the handkerchief, looking at the touch of tea on her arm, only to feel that the blood in her whole body rushed to the top of her head and the soles of her feet for a moment - the whole person was also hot and cold, and the instant and frequent alternation of hot and cold gave her an illusion that she was almost out of her body.
In a daze, she finally heard her own voice ask, "Yes...... Mother?! β
"It's the concubine." Wei Chan's laughter was like a silver bell, and the resentment in it was as strong as the substance, and she said in an almost brisk tone, "At the birthday banquet that day, I was ordered by my aunt to go to the Hou Shizi of Fuyang to guard the road that must be passed - my cousin already knows the failure of the mission, and I won't be verbose!" When I wanted to return to the table, I was tied to a secluded place by a group of servants in the uninhabited corridor......"
As if she didn't see Song Yixiao trembling, she continued to herself, "There are three or two men waiting there, I can't remember exactly." I just remember that I kept shouting at my aunt for help, my cousin for help, my father, my mother, my grandmother, and everyone I could think of, including Su Die...... I kept shouting until I couldn't shout anymore! β
"I thought I was going to die a painful death, but even if I didn't, I knew that I couldn't live anymore!" Wei Chan lowered her sleeves and said lightly, "But maybe the women of the Wei family are not born to be chaste martyrs, such as my aunt remarrying, for example, when I was dying on the ground, but I still begged them to let me live with a dumb voice?" β
"Therefore, they proposed that if I could make Lu Sangongzi sit on the throne of the prince, they would let me go, and as if nothing had happened, I took the initiative to ask them for the incense stick, and after returning the banquet, I found a chance to put it in Cousin Yun's room!"
She smiled flirtatiously, "Although Cousin Yun is innocent and young, I really like him - but this liking, in the end, is not as good as my own life!" β
"Besides, I used to live in my own house in a good way, if it wasn't for my aunt, how could I go to Hengshan Palace?!"
"If I don't go to Hengshan Palace, how can I have such an unbearable encounter?!"
"Auntieβyou owe me!"
Speaking of this, Wei Chan looked at Song Yi with a knife in her eyes and smiled, and said sharply, "And cousin, you-don't you owe me?!" β
She sneered, "My aunt hasn't been in charge for a day or two, if it's an ordinary time, how can she make me suffer such a loss in the palace?!" It's all because you robbed Princess Changxing's sweetheart, causing the two princesses to go to Hengshan Wangfu that day, my aunt was afraid that your own flesh and blood would suffer, so she put all her heart on protecting you, how could she not neglect me?! β
"In the end, my life was ruined at the hands of your mother and daughter!!"
"How so?! How so!? Song Yixiao was already in tears, grabbing the ten fingers of the armrest of the circle chair, all of them were spasmed because of excessive force, and they couldn't support their unconscious body, and slipped to the ground softly, "When my mother took her to the palace, I obviously noticed that there was a hidden secret!" But because I was afraid of offending my mother, I only dared to pay attention to her every move, and I didn't dare to ask my mother for clarification - at that time, I had already been married in vain, and it was not impossible to protect her! β
"But I only thought about whether my mother would instruct my cousin to harm Lu Guanlun, but I forgot that my cousin, who was only thirteen years old, was rashly involved in the dispute between the sons of the world, how could there be no danger?!"
"She's only thirteen! I'm only thirteen years old!! β
When Wei Chan arrived at Hanxia Xiaozhu, she walked into the door with a smile and a smile in her arms, as if she was vaguely in her eyes. Only half a year has passed, and the pretty and bright girl at that time has now removed her disguise, and there is only a haze between her eyebrows.
With such a cold and resolute gaze, like a she-wolf who has been cornered, what a painful torment it must be under the desperate madness?!
- If, as a cousin, I had been less guarded against her and more concerned about her from the beginning, those things, wouldn't have happened?!
Looking at her cousin with indifferent eyes at the moment, Song Yixiao only felt that ten thousand arrows were in her heart - she staggered to her knees, stepped forward on her knees, threw herself on Wei Chan's knees, hugged her and howled: "Why didn't you say it earlier?" Why didn't you tell me? Why did you delay until today to tell me?! β
Wei Chan let her hold her, tears were dry on her face, but there was no emotion in her eyes, she looked coldly at her cousin's collapse, and after a while, Fang asked calmly: "Mother and son repay the debt, and Cousin Yun is okay after all, aunt, why are you forcing me to a dead end?!" β
"Cousin, you touched your conscience and said, this matter, isn't it, this reason?!"
