Chapter 369: Tracking
Song Yixiao was very calm when she received the news of Cao Lianxiu's death, as if she didn't do this at all: "I know! Originally, Grandma Cao Shao was my cousin, she went at a young age, how could I give her a gift, but my mother only went a few days ago, and I ...... in my heart."
Speaking of this, his expression was mournful, and he hurriedly comforted him left and right - Song Yi smiled as if he controlled his emotions before he said astringently, "So this will be really inconvenient, and then I will take a trip with my housekeeper mother!" β
Li Yu didn't know what to do, thinking that although Cao Lianxiu hadn't met her own housewife much, Song Yixiao seemed to give this cousin a lot of face before, and now that she went, Song Yixiao was still in the pain of losing her mother and had no intention of going to mourn, but she was a little lazy to send a housekeeper mother, so she took the initiative to ask: "Why don't you go to the slave and the maid on behalf of the lady?" β
"I appreciate your kindness." Jin Xun was stunned when she heard this, and was about to speak, but Song Yixiao glanced at her first, and said kindly, "It's just that the marriage date of the four of you has been set, and this will go out to mourn on my behalf, what if you get depressed and ruin your lifelong event?" β
Li Yu suddenly realized that she was very moved-but she didn't know that after they retreated, when Jin Xun was in front of Song Yixiao, Song Yixiao sneered: "If it weren't for the fear that things would be big, I would like this Cao family to be ruined and die without a place to be buried, and you still want me to go and mourn her?!" Sending a housekeeper to my mother is all for my mother's sake!! β
Jin Xun hurriedly reassured: "Madame, why should you be angry about such a thing? It's just a sentence to tell the past, won't Mother Bo do it for you? β
ββTwo days ago, Song Yixiao finally recovered from the grief of the death of Wei Mengying's mother and daughter, and once again pondered the time before and after the assassination of her mother, she always felt full of suspicions!
She was about to start investigating the truth, but Bo's mother sent someone to quietly come to the door and inform her of the cause and effect of the whole thing.
Of course, it's just the cause and effect that Bo's mother knows: Cao Lianxiu, Wei Chan, Lu Hai'er and others teamed up to betray Wei Mengying, if it weren't for Wei Mengying's danger, I'm afraid that she would have died in that valley of Cuihua Mountain!
But although Wei Mengying was aware that in addition to the female relatives around her, Song Yuan seemed to have other allies, but she was never sure who this ally was and how many people there wereβshe just suspected that it should be among the Jin family, the Cui family, and Yuan Xuepei, the Marquis of Boling.
Last year, Song Yixiao came to congratulate her on her birthday, and she asked about Jian Xubai's status in the court, and it was precisely with this topic that she wanted to lead the Jin family and the Cui family to understand the recent actions of these two families in the court, so as to make a judgment. After all, Wei Mengying hadn't cared much about the government before, and when she suddenly asked, she was afraid of revealing her flaws in front of King Hengshan, so she could only start with her daughter.
It's a pity that the mother and daughter broke up unhappily because of the consistent mustard, and Wei Mengying didn't get enough news, so she was confused until she died.
β¦β¦ After Song Yixiao heard about this, she directly let Jin Xun go and told Bo's mother: "This ally is not in a hurry, you can find it slowly, Heng Zhu Niang is gone, but I am still young, I have to be patient!" However, Cao Lianxiu's things outside the inside and outside of the steak are not necessary to keep it, you can send her down to ask her mother for her guilt as soon as possible! β
Bo's mother is Wei Mengying's most powerful arm before her death, even if Wei Mengying is no longer there now, but Yu Wei is still alive, and she was ordered by King Hengshan to take care of Lu Guanyun, Cao Lianxiu, who has not been in the door for a few days and has a shallow foundation, is still sick, how can she be her opponent?
No, I'm going to come over today to report the funeral.
Song Yixiao didn't feel guilty about this at all: Wei Chan had suffered a big loss at the hands of Wei Mengying, and it can be said that she was in danger of surviving, and her participation in the murder of her aunt was justifiable;
Even if it is Lu Hai'er, it can be said that although Wei Mengying did not regard her as the main target, she has never been kind to her - there is a way to repay her with a peach, Wei Mengying regards the concubine as a chess piece, and the concubine calculates her in turn, which can be regarded as a retribution.
What's more, Lu Hai'er will be crazy.
For these two, Song Yixiao felt that Wei Mengying was at a loss, and he couldn't afford to kill them all; The second is for the sake of the posthumous name of the deceased father and mother, the Wei Cao family is not one or two people, Song Yixiao is not capable of catching them all at present, in case the news leaks and the truth is spread, I don't know what year and month this lawsuit will be fought!
The most terrible thing is that Song Yuan and Wei Mengying, the former couple, had been alone in the valley for a long time, and after this small half a day, Song Yuan wanted to kill Wei Mengying and was killed - this fact spread, and it is difficult not to be added to the peach by rumors. Hue.
Song Yi laughed at herself, but the younger brothers and sisters on both sides, especially Lu Guanyun's brothers and sisters, will definitely be affected!
After all, young children who have lost their biological mother's maintenance have lived by their father's love. What if King Hengshan was angry with the children left behind by Wei Mengying because of rumors, but asked Lu Guanyun's brothers and sisters to go later?
The living are always more important than the dead.
But Cao Lianxiu - where is Wei Mengying sorry for her?!
To say that the only thing Wei Mengying did to this cousin and niece was to tell her to Lu Guanqun to do a continuation.
But this family affair was originally the Wei family's collusion with the Cao family in order to take revenge on Wei Mengying, and persuaded Wei Mengying to do it together!
Even if Cao Lianxiu is dissatisfied, the most important thing she should take revenge on is the Cao family and the Wei family first, isn't it?
But what's the matter with Wei Mengying?!
Wei Mengying only needed to marry Lu Guanqun a low-class daughter, but she didn't necessarily have to be the daughter of the Cao family!
Even because of Cao Lianxiu's flattery after entering the door, Wei Mengying was very supportive of her - otherwise, she would not have been deceived into that valley in the first place!
It's just that the reason why Song Yixiao asked Bo's mother to kill this cousin immediately was not all to avenge Wei Mengying: "What a city house my mother is!" was deceived by this Cao Lianxiu and almost capsized in the gutter, which shows this cousin's means! What's more, Wei Chan's status in the Wei family alone is not enough for the Wei family to give up her mother-what is the idea of this Cao Lianxiu marrying Lu Guanqun? ! β
If Wei Chan and Lu Hai'er betrayed Wei Mengying out of hatred, Cao Lianxiu must be out of ambition!
ββWei Mengying is not dead, and there is a chance that the Hengshan Mansion will be eight out of ten in the future. Nine must be handed over to Lu Guanyun! And even if she is Wei Mengying's cousin's niece, she can't get rid of the life of pleasing this cousin for the rest of her life!
But if Wei Mengying is dead, and the young Lu Guanyun has no mother's maintenance and mediation, it is hard to say whether he can sit on the throne of the world!
Especially Lu Guanlun, who was originally the most expected to become the prince, has already been succeeded, and among the current sons of King Hengshan, the eldest son and the fifth son are all concubines, and they are naturally at a disadvantage when competing for the prince. If Lu Guanyun also falls out of favor in the future, or if there are three long and two short, Lu Guanqun, who has always been very low-key, will become the biggest winner!
At that time, the wife will be more expensive than the husband, and Cao Lianxiu will also follow Wei Mengying's example, fly on the branches and become a phoenix, from the daughter of a small official, to the princess of the hereditary palace!
It's just that although her idea is good, how can Song Yixiao tolerate it?
Such an ambitious master actually survived in the hands of Wei Mengying, didn't she return to Hengshan Wangfu to kill her, would she save her life and let her recover before she went to kill Lu Guanyun?!
As for Cao Lianxiu's death, the thoughts of the Cao Wei family - anyway, everyone knows that Bo's mother is Wei Mengying's right-hand man before her death, and most of what Wei Mengying knows will not hide from her. Now that Wei Mengying is dead, only Song Yixiao has grown up among the biological flesh and blood under her knees, how could Mother Bo not consult her?
And although Song Yixiao ordered Cao Lianxiu to be killed, she didn't move Wei Chan and Lu Hai'er, thinking that the two families should also know what they could survive by!
- In order to be unable to raise her younger brothers and sisters in front of her, Song Yixiao had to compromise temporarily, even if she hated these two families.
Listening to Jin Xun's words at this moment, Song Yixiao didn't feel happy at all, only felt indescribable grievances and resentment, and at the same time her heart was complicated and unspeakable: "Unknowingly, my mother has provoked so many people to get rid of her, although I often oppose many of her actions, but I really think about her and persuade her to be kind, but I don't have it once!" It's just that I met and persuaded and stopped! If she didn't listen, I would forget it and go back and live on my own. In the final analysis, I am too guarded against her and care too little! β
I can't help but think that if I hadn't been defensive and alienated from my mother because of my previous life; did not get amnesty after leaving the cabinet, and knew that there were many problems with Wei Mengying's behavior, but he only stopped it lightly; I don't blindly believe that this mother will only bully people and will not be bullied at any time - so isn't it, my mother will not do so many sins and cause so many murderous intentions?
Then, my mother won't die?
My mother is not dead, and Lu Guanyun's brothers and sisters are protected by her, so why worry about my eldest sister?
The more she thought about it, the more she regretted it, the more she thought about it, the more sad she became, and her eyes gradually turned red.
Jin Xun saw that the situation was not good, and was about to try to think of something to distract her from her mind when there was a sound of footsteps outside, followed by the voice of Jian Xubai asking the little maid at the door: "Is Madame inside?" What are you doing? β
"Just finished talking about things." Song Yi smiled when she heard this, and without waiting for the little maid to answer, she first raised her voice to answer, nodded at Jinxun, and motioned her to retreat.
After a while, Jian Xubai walked in, looked at his wife's complexion, and said, "You look much better today." β
"The prescription that Aunt Yun opened two days ago is very complementary." Song Yi smiled and said calmly, "How did you come here?" But what's the matter? β
Since the death of Emperor Xianjia in June last year, the couple has basically kept filial piety, and they have to sleep in separate rooms according to the rules.
However, there are no elders in the Yanguo Mansion to supervise sooner or later, the uncle filial piety of the previous five months, Jian Xubai out of respect for Emperor Xianjia, but honestly kept, and then the uncle's filial piety ended, and it was Song Yixiao's turn to guard the filial piety of his mother's father alone, and the couple did not have a deep relationship with Song Yuan, and it was inevitable that they would be sloppy if they were not in front of people - the people below were also interested in pretending not to know.
But this time Wei Mengying passed away, Song Yixiao was sincerely sad, but she refused to be ambiguous, and after she was able to get up, she drove her husband to the study.
He was not allowed to come back except for food or other things.
Before the meal arrived at the moment, Jian Xubai suddenly came, and Song Yixiao naturally guessed that there was something wrong with him.
Sure enough, Jian Xu's white chin said: "I have something to tell you: Before the spring festival opened earlier, didn't my aunt say that she wanted to introduce some old people to us?" Now that the results of the examination have come out, those few are among the best, even if it is not yet time for the palace examination, the communication is no longer hindered. β
"They brought their ladies with them?" Song Yi smiled suddenly, she still remembered this matter very firmly when she came back from Old Madam Duanmu, but Old Madam Pang, Wei Mengying, and Lu Cui'er passed away one after another, and under the exhaustion, where could she still remember?
Hearing this at this moment, he muttered, "Otherwise, even if my aunt and grandmother introduced me, this initial contact will not be able to achieve the good of the family immediately, and I may not need to go out to meet, right?" It's just that even if a female relative comes, I'm just in the middle of filial piety now, I'm afraid there will be slackness in this hospitality? β
Jian Xubai said: "Except for Shen Biansheng, the son of the Xiliang Shen family, who has already married and brought his wife this time, the female dependents brought by the rest of the people have not yet left the cabinet, you can just say hello - I also told them that you are keeping filial piety, but Shen Biansheng's wife has a lot of roots with you: she is the daughter of the side branch of the Song family, and her ancestors settled in Xiliang by coincidence, although it is said that she is very distant from your bloodline, after all, she is also after the Jiangnan Dynasty. She sent someone to tell her about it, and we can't refuse it. β
"In that case, so be it." If she wants to put aside her usual life, Song Yixiao may ask a few words about this Shen Song, but she is really not in the mood for this time, and she asked Jian Xubai if there is nothing else, so she bluntly asked him to leave.
Jian Xubai couldn't tell if she was sad and couldn't keep her spirits, or she realized that she was related to the death of Song Yuan and Wei Mengying, so she had a cold attitude - but he didn't dare to ask because of his weak heart, so he had to talk about his daughter, and talked about it for a long time, seeing that his wife was still listening absentmindedly, he had to sigh secretly, and then he got up.
Who knew that before he could move, Song Yixiao suddenly remembered something, called him and asked: "It's the Qianqiu Festival in two days, I don't know what regulations are in the palace for the Qianqiu Festival this year?" β
"I went into the palace to ask for peace to the emperor's grandmother, and I heard Aunt Yuguo reveal that because His Majesty wants to keep filial piety for the imperial uncle for three years, it has not yet expired, and there are two elders above, so it will definitely not be celebrated in this Qianqiu Festival, and then only set up a table in the Weiyang Palace for a family banquet, and have a meal with the family members in the palace, as if those of us who do not live in the palace, including the mother, are not invited." "So let's send a congratulatory gift." β
Song Yi smiled when he heard this, thought for a moment, and said: "It is the first Thousand Autumn Festival of Empress Wei, but this ceremony has to be carefully considered-it is also my negligence, and I have only remembered it until now!" β
"I'll do it." Jian Xubai hurriedly said, "What's more, the queen doesn't lack anything, let's just make a statement!" β
"I'd better do it!" Song Yi smiled but sighed, lowering his eyes to hide the different color under his eyes, "It's better to have something to do than to think about it." β
Jian Xubai felt uncomfortable when he heard this, and Wen Yan comforted him, and when he saw that his wife's expression eased, he left.
After he left, Song Yixiao raised his eyes and looked at the court coldly, before he raised his voice to call Jinxun: "When you go to the Marquis of Boling's mansion, you say that I am making a list for the Qianqiu Festival, but I used to have little contact with the queen, and I couldn't eat the queen's preferences. β
After a pause, he said, "You ask Sister Jiang to write me a charter - if she asks me about my current situation......
Song Yixiao was silent, struggling for a moment in his eyes, and finally said, "Say it to the bad one!" β
