Chapter Eighty-Five: Knowing the Traces
"Liu Ruoye is still alive?" Duanmu Xinmiao was surprised, "Where is she?" ”
"It's empty, and the people are gone." Wei Changying frowned and said, "Huo Jiayao won't be able to find it for a while...... I don't know if it's true or not. She has a lot to do with Wanwan's death, and the Wanwan and the man Si meeting that Zhou Jianxian saw before was actually her dressing as a man. That's how it killed Bend! ”
Duanmu Xinmiao was a little puzzled: "She doesn't seem to have hatred with Wanwan, right?" Moreover, what handle is Wanwan pinched by her, and she would rather let Zhou Jianxian misunderstand than tell it? ”
Wei Changying groaned: "I suspect it has something to do with Xiangzhi, and besides that, I can't think of a second person who can make Wanwan jealous so much." The problem is that Xiangzhi's side pushes two, six, five, and doesn't admit anything. ”
"If he doesn't admit it, he can guess." Duanmu Xinmiao held his chin and rolled his eyes, "Did Deng Xiangzhi do something sorry for your Shen family?" ”
Wei Changying was surprised: "How come? ”
"Otherwise, why would you be so jealous of her?" Duanmu Xinmiao narrowed his eyes and said, "There will be no outsiders here, I'll talk about it casually, don't take it too seriously-you think Deng Xiangzhi has always been decent, what handle can he have?" In the past, he was not valued by his family, and only relied on the support of Emperor Huanzong's concubine to live. Now that the children of the Deng family are withering, he is about to become the next head of the family! In this case, the Liu family who can threaten him is definitely not - the Liu family is now too busy to take care of themselves, Deng Xiangzhi has a relationship with the Shen family and the Su family, and with such two backers, even if the Deng family falls, he may not be in serious trouble. So, didn't he greatly offend your Shen family, what is there to worry about? ”
Wei Changying looked at her suspiciously: "You don't usually look like someone who thinks so much......
"That was before." Duanmu Xinmiao said lightly, "Over the years, I have accompanied my eldest sister and nephew to live, and I am always bored, so I am used to thinking about things." ”
Wei Changying felt that it made sense and said: "But Xiangzhi and my husband were colleagues in the early years, and they also helped me repeatedly. If it's a general offense, how can we account for it? If it was a great feud, I really couldn't imagine what it would be. I'm afraid it has nothing to do with our Shen family. ”
"How could it not matter!" Duanmu Xinmiao said firmly: "This is what he said personally!" ”
"Huh?" Wei Changying was stunned.
Duanmu Xinmiao hurriedly said: "I mean, this is my personal deduction......"
"I'm not old enough to be deaf!" Wei Changying was so angry that he pushed her and shouted, "What the hell is going on? I'll just say what are you doing here...... Is it entrusted by Xiangzhi? If you came here to make peace?! ”
Duanmu Xinmiao sighed and said, "You said I want to take this errand?" Deng Xiangzhi lifted the bend and bent out, and now the bent bones are not cold, but I am not in this situation. ”
"What did he do to hide it from him to such an extent?" Wei Changying frowned and asked.
Duanmu Xinmiao glanced at her deeply and said, "It has something to do with you." ”
"Me?" Wei Changying was dazed: "I don't remember that Xiangzhi offended me?" ”
"He likes you." Duanmu Xinmiao made an understatement, which made Wei Changying dumbfounded!
Duanmu Xinmiao continued: "That year, the Rong people broke the city, it wasn't Rouzhang who thought of you at all, and then ran to save you—you don't want to think about Rouzhang's personality, I'm not saying that she won't save you, it's just that she has always been careless, and in that kind of messy moment, she will simply think about following Pei Tu's enemy, how can she think of you?" It was Deng Xiangzhi who did everything possible to find her, and persuaded her, Pei Tudi, and Gu Ziyang, so he went to Taifu's Mansion in the name of Rouzhang! Even the words that Rouzhang said when he saw his stepmother were taught by Deng Xiang on the road! ”
Wei Changying was stunned for a long time before he said, "Then how did Liu Ruoye know about this?" These people are talking about...... It's impossible to tell Liu Ruoye about this, right? I haven't even heard the wind! ”
"Deng Xiangzhi was suspicious of Wanwan's habit of talking in his dreams, so Zhou Jianxian knew about it, so he never dared to tell his mother-in-law that she was bullied by her mother-in-law and husband." Duanmu Xinmiao raised his eyebrows and said, "But recently asked about Liu Ruoye, he speculated that it might be related to his aunt!" ”
"As early as before you left the pavilion, on Xiaozhu Mountain outside Fengzhou City, he fell in love with you at first sight!" Duanmu Xinmiao said lazily, "After he returned to Beijing that time, he even drew several portraits of you based on his memory. Later, they were all burned by his aunt's henchman, a grandmother surnamed Yao. Then he knew that his aunt and Grandma Yao knew his thoughts, and then paid more attention to hiding...... His aunt was martyred and died when the Rong people broke the city, but the palace people around her may not all be dead! ”
Wei Changying squeezed his squeeze, pondered for a long time, and said, "Even so, Xiang...... Why be afraid? My husband and I are not unreasonable people, there is no evidence, how can Liu Ruoye control Wanwan? She is the brother and sister of the Deng family, and we must believe in the latter more. Besides, who she is now, whether she is qualified to meet us is a question. If you spread rumors outside, you may die at some point. ”
"So there is one more thing to add - that is, Shen Shuming was taken captive by the Rong people!" Duanmu Xinmiao sighed, "At that time, the person named Moye did lead Shen Shuming to the Hanhai Gobi, but when he passed through the place where Su Yuwu was stationed, Su Yuwu actually knew about it - it just so happened that Deng Xiangzhi found them during his inspection, and he originally had a chance to save Shen Shuming, but at that time, the Donghu army was already a little in danger, and Su Yuwu was eager to return to Qingzhou...... So Deng Xiangzhi not only didn't make a move, but even secretly issued an order, deliberately letting the Rong people kidnap Shen Shuming and go......"
“…… I see! Wei Changying nodded with a complicated face, "My husband told me before, Shu Ming...... He went from the imperial capital to Beirong, and he was too quiet! ”
Duanmu Xinmiao said: "Deng Xiangzhi was a subordinate of Su Yuwu at that time, of course he had to think about Su Yuwu. So from my point of view, I can't blame him for this, after all, each is his master. The problem is that the Shen family may not see it that way. Now that your Shen family's army is close to the left, don't talk about one Deng Xiangzhi, even if the entire Deng family is not what you want, just do it? So it's no wonder that Wanwan will be subject to Liu Ruoye's control. ”
"But how could Liu Ruoye know such a secret?" Wei Changying stared at her tightly and said, "It's still the same sentence - what kind of person Liu Ruoye is, I only married to the imperial capital back then, so I know very well!" There is no considerable evidence, why should she make me believe her?! ”
Duanmu Xinmiao said: "I don't know about this......"
"I'm afraid that Xiangzhi, or Yu Dance, is not just sitting back and watching Shu Ming being captured by the Rong people, but has a part in this matter, right?" Wei Changying said word by word!
“…… I really don't know. Duanmu Xinmiao spread his hands helplessly, "Anyway, what Deng Xiangzhi said, how can I learn it from you." As for whether he is talking nonsense or hiding it, then I can't tell. You know that my mind has always been on medicine! ”
She said, "Actually, if you are not at ease, you might as well ask Deng Xiangzhi yourself?" ”
Seeing Wei Changying glaring at him, Duanmu Xinmiao hurriedly said, "Third brother, hasn't he left yet?" You let him ask! I didn't say that you should meet Deng Xiangzhi by yourself! ”
It's okay that she doesn't mention Shen Zangfeng, but when she mentions Shen Zangfeng, what does Wei Changying think, Deng Zongqi went to visit Dingwangfu two days ago, and her husband tried every means to coax herself to avoid it!
"Husband, he already knew or saw through it." Wei Changying secretly speculated in his heart, "That's why you sent me away from Deng Xiangzhi at that time?" Otherwise, Zhang Pingxuan and those people back then ...... My husband never told me to avoid it. ”
Thinking like this, although she had a clear conscience, she felt uncomfortable for a while.
"Did Deng Xiangzhi say anything else? Think about it, don't be left behind! Wei Changying said lightly.
Duanmu Xinmiao shook his head: "That's it, I'll tell you a word without missing a word!" ”
Wei Changying saw that he couldn't ask the next question, so he changed the topic and discussed with her about the short things in the family. Listening to Duanmu Xinmiao, she complained about some messy things in Jinxiutang for a while, left her to eat, and sent her off before evening.
When Shen Zangfeng came back, she thought about it and decided to ask: "The matter that Shu Ming fell into the hands of the Rong people before was not just the handiwork of Mo Ye and the Rong people, right?" Is there someone else meddling in it? ”
"Why did you suddenly remember to ask this?" Shen Zangfeng was a little surprised, but then he said, "It's just other people who interfere, there are a lot of people who interfere!" ”
Wei Changying was surprised: "Quite a few? How much is that? "According to the speculation obtained from Duanmu Xinmiao, it was the Liu family in order to relieve the pressure of Donghu and Su Yuwu to get out and return to Qingzhou, and the two sides joined forces to trap the Shen family...... But now I can't listen to what Shen Zangfeng means!
Sure enough, Shen Zangfeng said lightly: "One is to hope that the Rong people will not attack Donghu; The other is that he doesn't want the Shen family to continue to recuperate in Xiliang...... These two kinds of people, who can intervene, have intervened. Otherwise, how could the second brother not be able to find traces of Shu Ming's departure? ”
“…… Now these people in the imperial capital? ”
"Eight times out of ten. Nine are mixed, including some who are getting along with our family now. Shen Zangfeng didn't have any resentment on his face, his expression was very flat, "It's natural for each to be his own family, there's nothing to worry about." If we change our family's position in theirs, I won't be relentless...... Why did you suddenly ask about this? ”
Wei Changying was naturally embarrassed to tell him, but now he knew that Deng Zongqi had been secretly in love with him for many years, so he pushed and said: "Xin Miao came over today, and when I talked about Shu Ming's matter, I suddenly felt very strange. Shu Ming disappeared before, and the imperial capital couldn't find any trace of him; Now Liu Ruoye is the same. I feel afraid that there is someone behind her! ”
Shen Zangfeng snorted: "Otherwise, how could she have survived until now?" Dare to return to the imperial capital again? ”
Wei Changying thought that he was going to talk about it again, but Shen Zangfeng changed his words and said with a smile, "I'm going to leave the day after tomorrow, wouldn't it be a disappointment to say this now?" I heard that you complained to your eldest cousin last time that we still don't have a daughter...... How can I not do my best to fulfill you...... Well? ”
As he spoke, he raised his palm and sharpened the candle flame......
"You......" In the dimness, Wei Changying seemed to be happy and disgusted "complaining".!.
