After Xu Biyi and Ma Xiuying recounted these words, they turned their faces to the servants standing on the side and replied: "The matter here is over, I will go with you to see Wu Guogong to see what Wu Guogong has to announce me." ”

The servant answered, and wanted to leave the water pavilion with Xu Biyi.

Ma Xiuying stopped him and asked, "You have been in the mansion for some time, how do you think Mrs. Ben treats you on weekdays?" ”

The servant didn't understand why Ma Xiuying said this, so she could only respond: "Mrs. Ma has always been considerate to the people in the house, and this matter is obvious to all. Everyone has great respect for Mrs. in their hearts. ”

Ma Xiuying smiled and said, "Since that's the case, I have something to ask you, and you are not allowed to deceive me." ”

The servant hurriedly replied: "The villain is not a person who does not know what to do, if the lady has something to ask, but please speak, the villain must know everything and say everything, and will never deceive the lady in the slightest." Please also ask the lady to be aware of it. ”

Ma Xiuying listened to what he said solemnly, nodded slightly and said, "If that's the case, it's naturally best." I don't have anything else to ask you, I just want to know what Wu Guogong's mood was before you came here today. You are serving by Wu Guogong's side, and you should know about this. ”

Ma Xiuying, who was heard by the servant, was relieved in her heart, it seems that Mrs. Ma still knows the severity and does not speak directly, thinking that she is still unwilling to thin Wu Guogong's face. Mrs. Ma's question was not so difficult to reply, the servant thought for a while, then cleared his throat and said to Ma Xiuying: "Back to Mrs. Ma's words, I don't know how Wu Guogong is feeling today, but I scolded a servant this morning. ”

When Ma Xiuying heard this, her heart moved slightly, and this person's subtle words were naturally heard in her heart. Since he seems to have scolded the servant, he must be in a bad mood when he thinks about it, but he still doesn't know what is going on at the moment, if he rashly asks Xu Biyi to see Zhu Yuanzhang, if he is angry, won't Xu Biyi be unable to deal with himself.

Thinking of this, Ma Xiuying suddenly felt that if Xu Biyi was asked to meet Zhu Yuanzhang, it might not be a good thing at first sight. However, this kind of worry could not be expressed in front of Xu Biyi and the servants, so it was only stuffy in the stomach.

Xu Biyi couldn't see this, and wanted to see Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang wholeheartedly, and told Wu Guogong what he was thinking and thinking these days, so that he could be on guard and take precautions against some things in the house.

Although he also thought that Wu Guogong might think that he had murdered Li Ningluo's flesh and blood fetus, he might not be reconciled, but this case could not be concluded, even Wu Guogong might not be able to convict himself, not to mention that Wu Guogong still had to take care of Xu Da, the elder brother of the Han army sailor under the command of Chen Youliang, the king of Han, and he should not easily blame himself for a while. As long as you are firm in your mind and do not obey orders, even if you are at ease, you will not know the changes in the situation in the future.

Thinking of this, Xu Biyi felt that it was not necessarily impossible to meet Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang, and it was even a good opportunity to defend herself, so that she could confide in Wu Guogong about her innocent grievances involved in this matter. If he can't change Wu Guogong's mind, he also shows that he doesn't want to be ambiguous, and Wu Guogong expresses his willingness to let people find out the truth of this matter.

Xu Biyi's heart fluctuated slightly, and her originally pale face was slightly ruddy, and she was quite eager to try. Ma Xiuying stared at Xu Biyi deeply, knowing that Xu Biyi seemed to be weak, but in fact, she was firm, if she decided on something, even if she wanted to stop it, I am afraid it would be in vain.

However, the current situation is unpredictable, and it is still necessary to persuade it. Ma Xiuying said to Xu Biyi: "Sister, your body has not recovered yet, and it is not appropriate to act rashly, why don't I talk to Wu Guogong, just say that my sister's body has not yet recovered, and I will go to Wu Guogong to ask for peace later." ”

When Xu Biyi heard Ma Xiuying say this, she was slightly stunned, and after thinking about it for a while, she understood the truth. Ma Xiuying's words were intended to protect herself, and Xu Biyi was naturally a little moved in her heart.

"What my sister said is not bad, but although my body has not recovered, it is fine."

Hearing only this sentence, Ma Xiuying's heart chuckled, and she already knew that Xu Biyi was definitely unwilling to listen to her own advice, and it was very likely that she wanted to meet Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu.

Sure enough, Xu Bi paused slightly, and then continued: "Li Ningluo's matter is extremely strange, maybe Wu Guogong is a little to blame me, I must Wu Guogong make this matter clear, no matter what, if this matter cannot be dissected clearly in front of Wu Guogong, the sister's injustice sinks to the bottom of the sea, even if she gets the protection of her sister and can steal life in the world, it is also miserable in the bottom of the sister's heart, and it is difficult to sleep and eat." ”

Ma Xiuying heard her say this, and she didn't feel a shock in her heart, whether this matter was very important, not to mention that it had already caused human life. Even if he wants to protect Xu Biyi, I'm afraid he can only protect it for a while, if Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang tears his face and has to ask for someone with him, I'm afraid that he will have to hand over Xu Biyi at that time. Xu Biyi is now going to see Wu Guogong, but it is also the right time.

With such an idea in her heart, coupled with Xu Biyi's insistence on going, Ma Xiuying sighed slightly in her heart, knowing that it was useless to say more, it was better to let her go to see Zhu Yuanzhang first, and see how the situation would change.

Therefore, Ma Xiuying changed her tone and said: "Everything is nothing more than a rational word, I think my sister is definitely not a traitor who harms people's flesh and bones, since my sister insists on seeing Wu Guogong, my sister is not easy to hinder." It's just that my sister is going, everything is careful, and if there is a bad situation, I will send someone to come and inform me. ”

Xu Biyi knew that Ma Xiuying was still a little worried about going here, so she carried Ma Xiuying's hand, smiled and said: "Sister Ma don't have to worry, Wu Guogong's Mansion is not Longtan Tiger's Den, and Wu Guogong is not necessarily a man-eating tiger, not to mention that after all, it is a husband and wife, and the kindness and righteousness still exist, so I don't think Wu Guogong will be embarrassed by me." ”

"Since my sister has said this, if my sister dissuades her again, won't she become a wicked person who can't become an adult, but the current situation is unclear, and the matter is complicated. If my sister didn't have the heart to be afraid, this matter would not be difficult. My sister also hopes that my sister can get snow grievances in front of Wu Guogong. Ma Xiuying said to Xu Biyi without hesitation.

These words made Xu Biyi, who was eager to try, calm down, lowered her head and thought quietly, before she raised her head and replied: "What my sister said is very true, the hearts of people in the world are sinister, and they are even worse than mountains and rivers. This time, my sister went to see Wu Guogong, although I may not be able to say that Wu Guogong is convinced of me, but my sister's heartfelt request is just to make a statement based on the truth and confess well, and she has never been willing to innocently involve others. If not, I will feel unbearable to be wronged. Thinking about it, Wu Guogong has always been fair, and he has never listened to the truth of one side, and there is a reason for acting like this time. Although my sister is not talented, she is willing to use this posture of Pu Liu, sick and weak, to seek Wu Guogong's good observation, analysis and understanding, if you can be in vain, it is also considered to be two minds. Even if you can't get your wish, you have no regrets. ”

Ma Xiuying listened to her words of sorrow, and she was also heartfelt sad. couldn't help but squeeze Xu Biyi's palm and said: "Sister doesn't have to complain so much, although this matter is a hindrance, the tired sister is embarrassed by this, such a dirty thing, even my sister seems to be unwilling." My sister wants to see Wu Guogong first, and as soon as she seeks to reclaim Wu Guogong's justice, she is reasonable, and her sister can't stop her. Just be careful in everything, and don't be careless. In addition, the hair and skin of the body are subject to the parents, and must not be easily damaged, if so, not only will it not only do the peace of heaven, but also delay the crime of unfilial piety. ”

Ma Xiuying's earnest advice, Xu Biyi naturally heard it in her heart, and Ma Xiuying, who listened to it, ruled with filial piety and righteousness, although it was reasonable, in fact, she was still not worried about her own safety, lest she suddenly think of suicide.

As soon as she heard Ma Xiuying finish speaking, Xu Biyi nodded heavily, indicating that she had already taken everything Ma Xiuying said to heart.

"Sister Jin Yu's good words, Biyi should obey it, since the previous fetus was stillborn, Biyi often feels that this body is no longer her own, but even so, she will not abandon everything and kill herself in vain, my sister doesn't have to be careful about this matter."

Ma Xiuying heard her say this, but she also felt that although Xu Biyi's attitude was not happy, it was not enough to pity.

If Xu Bi doesn't have the idea of abandoning the world in her heart, then there is no need to worry too much. Ma Xiuying feels that as long as the time comes, these things will eventually be resolved.

"Master Biyi, isn't it time for you to go on your way?" The servant just saw Ma Xiuying and Xu Biyi say goodbye, and they didn't dare to disturb each other, and now they felt that the two had been talking for too long, and they were afraid that they would delay the matter of Wu Guo's bus generation, so they stepped forward and urged.

"I'll talk to Mrs. Ma for a while, don't be anxious, I'll go with you to see Wu Guogong right away." Xu Biyi turned her head and said to the servants waiting outside the pavilion. Then he turned back to Ma Xiuying and said: "Sister, I am going here today, I don't know if I can say that I can turn back to Wu Guogong, but even if I can't, Biyi believes that it can also make Wu Guogong's heart touch, and she is aware of all these things that have happened in the mansion recently. ”

Ma Xiuying didn't expect Xu Biyi to be at this juncture, and her heart was still thinking about Zhu Yuanzhang, so she couldn't help but sigh and said: "Sister, speaking of which, you and Wu Guogong are a natural pair of childhood sweethearts, if it wasn't for my father who forced me to marry Wu Guogong, today's position of Mrs. Wu Guogong is very likely to be Biyi's sister, sister, don't blame me for taking away your seat." ”

Xu Biyi's face turned red, and she hurriedly waved her hand and denied: "Sister, what are you talking about, in fact, I still admire my sister very much in my heart, since my sister entered Wu Guogong's door, she has been taking care of it in an orderly manner inside and out, and she also helped Wu Guogong take care of the people's buns and settle the people. The position of Duchess Wu Guo was originally her sister's, and her sister didn't covet it at all, but my sister should be careful now, Li Ningluo's demon girl seems to be unwilling, and the little sister is always suspicious that so many things in the mansion are caused by her. ”

When Ma Xiuying heard Xu Biyi say this, she also felt related. Then he opened his mouth and said: "What my sister said is very true, since Wu Guogong included Li Ningluo in the door, many things have happened in the mansion one after another, bizarre and unbelievable, it is really not something that ordinary people can do, and it is not something that will happen ordinarily. Xiuying is also suspicious that someone is behind the scenes, but she has been secretly visiting for a long time, and she has never found any clues in between, but from this point of view, I feel that there is obviously something else behind this matter, and it is by no means general. But in the end, he failed to find evidence and clear his sister's grievances. ”

Xu Biyi naturally understood these things, so she said to Ma Xiuying; "What my sister said is very true, but according to Biyi, this person is deliberately trying to do these many things, obviously for other reasons, and the power behind it is also huge, I'm afraid it's not so easy for people to find a handle. But people are doing it, and the sky is watching, and I believe that one day this kind of trick will be exposed by us, and then we will be able to claim debts and take revenge. I just don't know if I'll be able to wait until that time. Xu Biyi's face became more and more gloomy when she said this, as if she felt that although this matter seemed to be promising, it was a blur now, and the road ahead was extremely dark, and it seemed that there was no light.

Ma Xiuying saw that her face suddenly darkened, and even her eyes seemed to have lost their luster in an instant, knowing in her heart that Xu Biyi must feel that the future was slim and unknown, and now she could only persuade her to be a little more lenient and said: "Sister doesn't have to be like this, although Wu Guogong is arrogant, but he is extremely fair in his heart, once he learns that his sister has been wronged, he will definitely not let go of the person who started to make pottery figurines, and at that time he will be able to see through the real murderer and find out the traitor behind the troublemaker, my sister can rest assured." ”

"What my sister said is that my sister has been taught, and I will leave today." Xu Biyi replied, then said goodbye to Ma Xiuying, walked out of the water pavilion, and followed the servants waiting outside, the two of them walked in a circle, all the way.

Ma Xiuying quietly watched Xu Biyi walk all the way away, until her back disappeared, she felt a sense of melancholy in her heart, and suddenly felt something wrong in her heart, as if she remembered something.

Ma Xiuying hurriedly returned to her residence, found a loyal maid, whispered a few words to her, and when the maid heard it, she answered a sentence and hurried out slowly.

Xu Biyi followed the servants to the flower hall in front, and after walking into the flower hall, she saw Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, sitting on a Taishi chair, looking at a pile of official documents with his hands and reciting them, which seemed to be the official documents of the past few days in Yingtian City.

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyes and saw that the servant had brought Xu Biyi over, threw a look, and motioned for the two to wait on the side first, Xu Biyi and the servant did not dare to disobey Zhu Yuanzhang's wishes, so they stayed quietly and waited. After waiting for a while, I saw that Zhu Yuanzhang had already cleared the official affairs of the past few days, made instructions, marked the supervisor's signature, and then ordered someone to take out all the official documents.

The maid waiting outside came in and handed over the tea, Zhu Yuanzhang took the teacup, took a sip slightly, closed his eyes and tasted it carefully, but still did not speak.

Xu Biyi felt a little unhappy in her heart, thinking that you sent someone to invite me over, but now that we have met, I ignored it so much.

Angry for a while, Xu Biyi rushed to ask: "Zhu Yuanzhang, you asked me to come over, what is the matter?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was originally close his eyes and recuperate, heard this, so he slowly opened his eyes, glanced at Xu Biyi, and still didn't speak.

Seeing this, Xu Biyi felt even more angry in her heart, so she puffed out her cheeks and ignored Zhu Yuanzhang, turned her head and wanted to go back.

Before he walked out of the door of the house, he saw a guard suddenly appear in front of him, stretched out his hand to stop him, and blocked his way.

Xu Biyi was blocked from the way and had to retreat into the house.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang stretched out his hand and waved away the servants and guards, and then said to Xu Biyi: "I sent someone to look for you here today, do you know why?" ”

Xu Biyi didn't respond angrily: "I don't know." ”

Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang didn't think it was against him, but smiled slightly and said, "If you pretend not to know, I can't do it." Thinking of you as an ignorant woman and child, with a bad heart, causing the death of the fetus in Li Ningluo's womb, causing human life, and the law is intolerable, I originally sent someone to improve your quality, execute and torture you, and felt that I was in love with you, so I called you here. You are convicted. ”

Xu Biyi unconsciously gasped, listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's tone was so grim, she suddenly felt that today's matter was not an easy situation. Then he defended himself: "Where did Wu Guogong say this, although Li Ningluo and I have a disagreement, we have reconciled. Moreover, Biyi's family education is strict, how can she be willing to poison people's lives for this illegal thing. ”

Wu Guogong saw that he refused to admit it, and couldn't help but be furious and said: "This matter is seen by everyone, and the maids and maids in the house have seen a lot, and I don't want you to deny it, don't you hear that the law of the country is clear, and you are negligent but not omission, since you have the heart to do such an indecent thing, you should bear it." ”

Xu Biyi saw that Zhu Yuanzhang blindly overdid himself, instead of being angry, he laughed slowly: "I don't know if Wu Guogong is so speculating, but he has found a motive for Biyi to do such a thing." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't expect Xu Biyi to be so calm and composed, and suddenly his marksmanship was disrupted, and he said: "This, this, it must be that you are jealous when you see that your country's public loves Li Ningluo." Although his wife is jealous, it is useless, but he has never seen such viciousness, and he prefers to kill people. ”
