Chapter 257: Questioning

Shaohua didn't know how to sort out her thoughts along the way, and things seemed to be more complicated than she imagined.

She originally thought that the most important thing was that Empress Dowager He cleared the Yan family's grievances, and Mrs. Yan secretly helped Empress Dowager He eradicate dissidents and let Yan Kaizhi's assistant Hongyi ascend the throne. But from the conversation between Empress Dowager He and Mrs. Yan, I heard that they are not only mutually beneficial and win-win, but also have more secrets that she does not know.

thought that he had always naively thought that marrying Yan Kaizhi and giving birth to children for him was enough. But in fact, she is at most Mrs. Xingyonghou, not exactly the daughter-in-law of the Yan family, even if she works so hard, she still can't enter his heart. Shaohua's brows furrowed, and even his hands clenched hard unconsciously. Until he accidentally squeezed the child in his arms, his loud and powerful voice pulled the two adults back to their senses.

Shaohua hurriedly withdrew his wandering soul, patted the child in his arms, and unconsciously warmed his heart again.

Anyway, she has a lifetime of time, slowly spending time with him, and one day he will make him personally admit that he likes her, and no matter what his identity is.

"I'll send you back first." You Ning watched the child in his arms being coaxed to sleep by Shaohua again, and couldn't help but feel amazing, it was the first time he had seen such a well-behaved child.

Finally appeased his son, Shaohua raised his head and said to You Ning: "No, I'll go back with you, I want to ask things clearly." "If she returns to the Xingyong Marquis Mansion like this, I'm afraid it won't be easy to come up with it again.

You Ning opened his mouth to say something, but hesitated, nodded, and did not object. In fact, he also wants to figure things out, otherwise he will be stuck in his heart and panic.

After going around the official road, it was actually not far from the capital, and when You Ning came, he almost went crazy and drove the car, shaking the wooden stake all the way back. Although he had slowed down as much as possible in order to take care of Shaohua's mother and son, in order to rush to Beijing after dark, You Ning did not dare to relax at all. After entering the city, in order to avoid people's eyes, You Ning also deliberately made a big circle and entered through the back door of the Dingxi Hou Mansion.

Just as Youning's carriage entered the door, someone immediately reported to Xin Maoshan and his wife: "Master, madam! The young master is back! ”

I heard that someone came to the door, and after Youning saw it, he didn't say a word, and drove out with Ziying, and as soon as he went, it was dawn until dark. has already lost one, and now if even Youning is gone, Xin Maoshan must not let people overturn the capital. Without waiting for her husband to speak, Mrs. Xin snorted twice: "It's so good to come, let that stinky boy roll in for me!" ”

Seeing the anger on the face of the housewife, the porter couldn't help but sweat for his young master, "Madam, the young master is still back with a child." ”

Mrs. Xin screamed, "What! How dare he bring me back an illegitimate child?! ”

The porter was almost so frightened by Mrs. Xin's scream that he bit his tongue, just in time to hear Yu Ning's voice behind him, he patted his chest luckily and hurriedly retreated. You Ning walked into the house with Shaohua, and when he saw that both of them had black faces, he hurriedly pushed Shaohua out, "Auntie, what an illegitimate child, it's your grandson!" ”

It's just that the clothes that Shaohua wore when she left the palace at that time had long been worn out, and later they were changed into children's underwear by the stake daughter-in-law, so she was wearing the clothes of the stake daughter-in-law when she was young. In addition, she has been hiding in the dilapidated hut of the Wooden Stake House for the past few days, walking beside Youning, more like the girl that Youning picked up from outside, and the round face she raised when she was pregnant has been sharpened.

Seeing Mrs. Xin's eyes widen in surprise, Shaohua's nose was sore, and he took two steps forward with the child in his arms, and shouted with a crying voice: "Mother! ”

"Wu Niang?" Fortunately, Mrs. Xin was quick to hold her up, looking at her shabby and embarrassed, Mrs. Xin was happy and surprised. was softened by Shaohua's crying, and Mrs. Xin almost cried, but fortunately, Xin Maoshan reminded her by the side, and she hurriedly comforted Shaohua not to cry and hurt her body.

Xin Maoshan was obviously also confused by the sudden situation in front of him, and the people who were crazy looking for people all over the capital were actually taken to his house by Youning. Even if she is a righteous daughter, it seems that she should not appear in her house at the first time, he asked You Ning behind Shaohua, "What the hell is going on." ”

You Ning watched Shaohua and her mother calm down with each other, shrugged her shoulders and said, "This is a long story, Ah Niang, you can let someone get something first, I think she has been hungry recently." ”

Only then did Mrs. Xin remember, and when she was talking, she actually asked Shaohua to stand with the child in her arms. She helped Shaohua to sit down on the chair, and nagged: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back, God bless, God bless." Your disappearance, the whole capital will be lifted to find someone. Bao'er came up with hot tea, and Mrs. Xin took the opportunity to take the child in Shaohua's arms over.

She was pleasantly surprised to find that this little milk baby looks very pink and delicate, she doesn't want to be a newborn baby at all, and her sweet sleeping appearance makes people like it from the bottom of her heart, she excitedly showed off to her husband: "Look at these eyebrows, she looks so handsome, just like his father." ”

Xin Maoshan glanced at it and asked again, "You Ning, did you go to the Xingyong Marquis Mansion to deliver the letter?" ”

Yu Ning nodded, "I let Ziying go." ”

Xin Maoshan couldn't help but blame, "Wu Niang is ignorant, forget it, Youning, as a brother, how can you follow the nonsense." If you find someone, you should immediately send it to the Xingyong Marquis Mansion, and you should come back here upside down. "I'm glad it's dark now, and I guess not many people are paying attention.

As soon as he heard Xin Maoshan reprimanding Youning, Shaohua hurriedly spoke up: "Father, don't blame Youning, I asked to come back, I have something to ask you clearly." She nodded at Youning, who playfully called everyone who had nothing to do with her.

Xin Maoshan was confused by their dumb riddle-like behavior, looked at Shaohua's serious face, and suddenly wondered: "Say it." ”

Shaohua straightened his sitting posture, and even Mrs. Xin couldn't help but look sideways, Shaohua looked at Xin Maoshan seriously, and asked cautiously: "Did you already know that someone was going to murder my senior official?" ”

"Where did you hear the rumors!" Xin Maoshan didn't expect Shaohua to have such a sharp question as soon as he opened his mouth, and his face immediately changed when he heard it.

Shaohua went straight to the point and said: "When Yushi went to Lingjing, he passed through Liangcheng, and you were also in Liangcheng at that time, so you know the purpose of Yushi." You know in your heart how he died, but you didn't make a move until Kai Zhi came to northern Sichuan. ”

The sharp questions forced Xin Maoshan to be a little embarrassed, he turned to You Ning angrily, and scolded: "How do you know this? Youning! ”

Youning innocently raised his hands in the air, "I didn't say anything!" ”

Shaohua knew that Xin Maoshan was deliberately changing the topic, "Dad, this has nothing to do with Youning. ”

Sure enough, Xin Maoshan's face sank, and he said angrily: "Li Wuniang, you have to be clear about your identity, even if I recognize you as a righteous daughter, it doesn't mean that you can replace Mo'er!" Although this tone was exactly the same as Xin Zimo's, Xin Maoshan was still a little angry in the face of Shaohua's face.

Shaohua was in a hurry and blurted out: "I am her, what will I replace." ”

You Ning on the side was so frightened that his face changed, but Xin Maoshan was one step faster than him, "Nonsense!" ”

Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was very wrong, You Ning had no choice but to come out and explain: "That father, this matter is a long story, although it is a bit mysterious, but Shaohua is really the second sister, I can guarantee it." You Ning's scalp was numb from Mrs. Xin's glare, but at this point, he had no choice but to continue: "At least, she knows everything about the second sister, including the secrets of me and the second sister. ”

If it is said that Shaohua, they can not believe it, but Youning is the son who has been raised by his side for more than ten years, and Xin Maoshan knows what his character is. Looking at Shaohua again, although there are also doubts that they are not cooperating to deceive, but even if it is deception, it will not benefit Shaohua and them.

On the contrary, Mrs. Xin reacted first: "Is it really a predestined thing?" You're really Mo'er. ”

Shaohua didn't expect things to go so smoothly, "A-Niang, do you think a girl who grew up in the countryside can know so many things?" But she didn't forget her point, turned her head to look directly at Xin Maoshan, and asked, "Dad, I just want to know, did you already know that someone was trying to harm him?" ”

Seeing that his wife and son all acquiesced to Shaohua's words, Xin Maoshan suddenly looked like a wilted flower, leaning back on the chair in a dejected manner, and some couldn't accept such a powerful thing, he said sneeringly: "So many years have passed, and I can't remember what happened back then." When he sees Shaohua as Xin Zimo, it seems that it is not so difficult to speak.

Xin Maoshan thought about it, but still spoke: "When I knew that Xu Ke was ordered to check Yan Su, I had a package ticket with him, and Xu Ke said that he understood, but he had to go through the motions. But what happened later happened too quickly and unexpectedly, I asked people to track it down, and it turned out that their mother and son had long since disappeared, and you know what happened next. ”

When the result of his guess was confirmed from Xin Maoshan's mouth, Shaohua suddenly felt that his heart was very complicated and very unpleasant. "But why didn't you avenge the Yan family in the first place."

Xin Maoshan raised his head, looking old and helpless, "We have never had anything to do with the Yan family, and I will avenge my grievances for no reason, what will the people in the capital think." He was accused of rebellion, what could I do? ”

Shaohua said anxiously: "But you know it's impossible. ”

Xin Maoshan raised his eyes and scolded angrily: "It's impossible that I don't have the final say, the first emperor thinks in his heart that what is possible is possible, and what is impossible is impossible." But after saying that, I felt a sour feeling in my heart.

Shaohua didn't dare to refute, she knew that what Xin Maoshan said was the truth, she was silent for a long time, and suddenly raised her complaining eyes faintly, looking at Xin Maoshan with a heavy expression, "Then let me ask another question, it was rumored that there was a rebellion in northern Sichuan, and then the eldest sister promised the Li family." Later, when you entered Beijing again, the holy decree followed, and marrying the Three Kings Mansion was not actually the intention of the first emperor, but the will of your selfish request, right? ”

Now it was Mrs. Xin's turn to exert her power, "Presumptuous! Is this the attitude towards your dad? ”

But Shaohua was sad in her heart, she just wanted to ask to understand, "Because of the lessons from the past, you are afraid of death, and you are afraid of being said to be rebellious, so you pushed me and my eldest sister out as hostages, didn't you?" ”

"You!" Mrs. Xin was furious, but when she saw her husband raise his hand to stop her anger, she closed her mouth sullenly.

Xin Maoshan looked at Shaohua as if he was looking at Xin Zimo, and simply said everything in his heart: "I know you have a grudge in your heart, and I have regretted it in the past few years." But if I don't marry you all, what will happen to you, have you ever thought about it? The reason why the Yan family turned over and rose again was not because the first emperor cleared their grievances, but because they had backers. I don't have anything, I only have you, keep you, even if you are complained about for the rest of your life. ”

He didn't give Shaohua a chance to speak, and after a deep sigh, he continued: "Your Majesty didn't suspect Yan Su that Xu Ke asked Xu Ke to investigate, but as a result, Xu Ke cut first and then played, and Your Majesty couldn't do anything about him." Doro is ready to move, and the two places in northern Sichuan and Lingjing are heavily defended, and His Majesty will send us here because he trusts us. ”

"If there is trust, why is it still like this?" You Ning finally found a gap to interject, but it provoked Mrs. Xin's eyes.

"The three of them became tigers, and they spread falsehoods, and people's words were terrifying." Xin Maoshan used three words to express the sadness of these years, "Your Majesty believes in your heart, but the people of the world don't believe it." ”

At this point, Shaohua did not ask Xin Maoshan about his behavior, but bluntly said the murderer, "The person who killed my official is the Xu family or the He family." ”

Xin Maoshan knew that Shaohua already knew about it, so he didn't hide it too much, "I can't say anything about this matter either, maybe Kaizhi knows, he didn't tell you, he must want to protect you." I don't care if you are Shaohua or Mo'er, you are my daughter, and you can marry Kaizhi as you wish to make up for the regret in my heart. Don't meddle in this matter, just let Kaizhi deal with it, what you have to do is to take care of the child. ”

At the mention of the child, Shaohua's eyes fell on Mrs. Xin, and the whole person was silent.

Mrs. Xin also softened her temper, "Wu Niang, Mo'er...... Listen to your father, you are now a member of the Yan family, and you should protect yourself and your children. I didn't promise you to Yan Kaizhi because I was afraid that you would be involved in this quagmire, who knows, God's will is like this. She didn't expect things to come to a point where they didn't want to face it.

Shaohua's silence made the atmosphere condense, You Ning looked left and right, and opened his mouth to divert the topic, "Okay, Dad, Auntie, don't be so serious, it's not a good thing, people have found it." "Youning deliberately used an accent on the word "person", in fact, for the Xin family, this is an unexpected joy.

Mrs. Xin came to her senses, and immediately turned her mouth to You Ning and scolded: "You dead boy, didn't you already know that you have been hiding from us for so long!" ”

"I'm not afraid to scare you." You Ning lowered his eyebrows and said, "Besides, do you still go to Li's house to rob others." "If she weren't Li Shaohua, things might be easier.

But if she wasn't Li Shaohua, I'm afraid they wouldn't have this chance to recognize her.

"It's good to be back." Xin Maoshan sighed, and seemed to vomit out all the guilt in his heart.
