Chapter 367: Golden Hydrangea
Liu Qingsong spent some time in his family when he was a teenager and had some 'friendship' with Xiao Xuanzhi, and he also had a good impression of Xiao Xuanzhi, because all the children of the Xiao family used to treat him as a servant, but Xiao Xuanzhi gave enough respect.
Fang Cai didn't rescue Mrs. Dongyang in time, and he had already lost his 'friendship', since Xiao Xuanzhi opened his mouth, Liu Qingsong was unwilling to refuse from the bottom of his heart. He walked to Mrs. Dongyang and squatted down, and saw her arrow straight through the 'chest', a huge blood lotus bloomed on her plain clothes, the 'chest' rose and fell weakly, and the signs of life were already very weak, he still reached out to probe her pulse.
After a while, he said in a deep voice, "Shiro, the eldest lady's sword hurt the heart.................."
Liu Qingsong didn't dare to determine exactly where the heart or near the heart was injured, but this kind of injury in Datang has no conditions for surgery and no blood supply, and it is almost certain to die.
Xiao Xuanzhi's face was a little pale, his thin lips were pursed, and tears overflowed uncontrollably in his eyes.
Mrs. Dongyang slowly opened her eyes, her voice was as weak as breath, "It's already a crown, a dignified man, what are you crying about." β
The sky was already dark, lanterns were lit in front of the 'door' of the Xiao Mansion, and the drums that heralded the closing of the 'door' of the fang came at night.
Mrs. Dongyang raised her hand, as if she wanted to 'touch' and 'touch' Xiao Xuanzhi's face, but in the end, she just touched his jaw and fell down, and there was a faint complex emotion in her shallow eyes, "You and me...... The fate of this mother and son.................. It was out of time, I didn't .................. well For you, it's not worth your grief. β
"My mother has done a lot for me, and I know that my mother wants to find a place for me in the Shaw family, not to exist as an inconsequential person." Xiao Xuanzhi never thought that his mother would care about him, and suddenly reversed his cognition, and that kind of shock made him only react now.
Just understood, but lost.
"I never asked.................. Do you want these and just feel .................. You and me.................. After all, mother and son are a game... I owe it to you.................. Do something. Mrs. Dongyang's eyes gradually drifted a little, she sighed and muttered, "Do something for me...... Ask the clan to let me go.................. Let me ......"
Her voice faded down... In the end, it was as if it was blown away by the evening breeze, and there was no trace.
Ran Yan stood on the stone steps and could clearly see that Mrs. Dongyang had a seemingly absent smile on her face.
Whether Mrs. Dongyang has a deep love for Lang Jun, who was once a childhood sweetheart, Ran Yan doesn't know, but she understands that a political marriage took away Mrs. Dongyang's freedom, and also took away her self-marriage into the Xiao family... Mrs. Dongyang has been displaced for ten years, widowed and lonely for more than ten years, and the only important thing in her life is a son she doesn't know what kind of mood to face.
Xiao Xuanzhi took off his coat, carried Mrs. Dongyang into the carriage without saying a word, and glanced back at Ran Yan before entering the car.
I couldn't see any emotion at that glance, but Ran Yan knew... There must be hate. Because Ran Yan fell into the well at that time. Mrs. Dongyang had already been hit by the arrow, but Ran Yan had no intention of rescuing.
But Ran Yan's eyes looked back frankly, if he did it ten times again... She still doesn't care about Mrs. Dongyang's life or death. Mrs. Dongyang didn't leave a trace of affection in her calculations, and she just returned the original.
At this point, Ran Yan did not say anything to let Mrs. Dongyang's body be placed in the mansion and let Xiao Xuanzhi leave.
Xiao Xuanzhi entered the car, put Mrs. Dongyang down gently, and when he lowered his head, he saw three words written in blood on the sleeve of his middle shirt - golden hydrangea.
He felt a slight pause in his heart, and immediately remembered that his mother raised many 'flowers' in the yard, among which there was a chrysanthemum 'flower' called golden hydrangea.
What happened to the golden hydrangea? Xiao Xuanzhi looked at Mrs. Dongyang's pale and serene face, and knew in his heart... The mother did not personally 'intercourse' the generation, but chose this secret way, which must not mean that he should take care of the golden hydrangea on his behalf, so why?
Eight hundred drum beats only sounded five or six hundred, and when Xiao Xuanzhi's carriage arrived at the 'gate' of the fang, it had not yet been closed... just passed by the people from the government who hurried to hear the news.
There is no moon tonight, and the sky is getting darker and darker.
The people sent by Liu Qingsong to look for Sang Chen had also returned, bringing back news that none of them wanted to hearβSang Chen was not in the mansion, and Liu Qingsong had searched all the places he might go, and they all said that they had not seen Sang Chen since nine o'clock in the morning.
"What should I do?" Liu Qingsong leaned on the frame of the 'door' and looked at Ran Yan with his hands.
"I'll go." Ran Yan said.
Liu Qingsong frowned and said, "You say that I am unreliable all day long, what can you say about your decision?" If Jiulang comes back, if he knows that I let you take risks, you can't go unless you pick a few layers of skin from me. β
"Slave and maid go on behalf of Mrs. Dai." Ge Lan straightened up and said, "Madame rarely 'shows' her face outside, and King Wei has never seen Madame, and they may not be able to recognize it. β
"That's a good idea." Liu Qingsong stroked his palm and said, "That's it, hurry up and prepare!" β
"Nope." Ran Yan didn't think that Li Tai would not be able to distinguish the real from the fake, she groaned for a while, and said, "I have always wondered, why did Li Tai arrest Sang Chen to threaten me, what is the purpose?" Besides, Sang Chen went to see King Wei openly this morning, and he couldn't get out of Sang Chen's disappearance, so he was really the one he arrested? β
Ge Lan said, "Could it be that you want to borrow Mrs. to seek something from Lang Jun?" β
If it was because of the treatment of Princess Jinyang, Li Tai should have found a way to make her have problems, so that the prince would also be implicated, such as blaming her for Dou Siniang's death, instead of thinking about getting rid of the saying that it was Gelan, it might be more 'sexual'.
"Madam, someone from the government has come, and it is said that someone has attacked the Xiao Mansion only after the dispatch." Suddenly, the voice of a maid broke the silence in the room.
Ran Yan's eyes lit up slightly, and he immediately asked, "Who is here?" β
"Mrs. Hui, it's Dali Temple, He Temple." 'Squire,' replied the maid.
"Please He Sizheng is going to the hall." Ran Yan said and sighed. Ran Yan finally understood why Mrs. Dongyang had that smile when she was singing the 'door', because she had long expected that she would die, and she had also expected that once she died, she would give Ran Yan a chance to break the deadlock.
Liu Qingsong understood that she wanted to borrow He Sizheng's hand, and couldn't help but say, "Is it really okay to give someone a handle?" β
"This is the best way at the moment, there will be no uproar before the matter is resolved, and when this matter passes, even if it is opened, I can resist and deny it, I only ask you, how is He Sizheng 'friendship' with my husband?" Ran Yan said.
Liu Qingsong nodded, it was regarded as agreeing with what Ran Yan said, after all, with their weak strength, there was no chance of winning at all, and the enemy was in the dark, it was difficult to say whether the person who tied Sang Chen was Li Tai or not, "It's not bad, his official position is lower than Jiulang, and there is no head-on conflict under normal circumstances." β
After a pause, Liu Qingsong added, "And He Si is supporting the prince with a clear attitude." β
