Chapter 213: Thorns Fall
"You, you killed the old lady?"
"Yes, it's me!"
Cheng Nianxi suddenly laughed wildly again.
"What do I have to hide now?
I instructed Aunt Xin to kill the sparrow! When she had a private meeting with the manager of North Park, she happened to bump into me, and she took advantage of this incident to blackmail Aunt Xin to give her a large sum of gold, otherwise she would shake off my ugly things!
Naturally, I can't keep her! Qi's child was harmed by me, and it was I who saw that the stone bridge was coated with wax, so I asked Shen Yuan to take her up to the bridge to pick aquatic flowers!
Jiang and Mrs. Zhou were also bought by me, even the old lady... The old lady was also poisoned by me! I put the soul withered grass in her pillow!
It's all me! It's all me! What's wrong? ”
"You!"
The prime minister was so angry that he reached out and drew the sword from the guard's waist and stabbed at her.
Everyone didn't have time to stop them, and they only watched as the eldest lady's abdomen was pierced by a sword.
"Ahh
The maids who watched the excitement at the door covered their eyes in fright,
The panicked screams made the prime minister shake his senses.
The scene in front of me happened so suddenly that even the firecrackers were dumbfounded.
Qi Zhongchen wanted to rush to the eldest lady's side, but he was escorted by the guards a step too late.
watched his sweetheart fall in a pool of blood.
Cheng Nianxi was lying on the ground, but he felt that his arm was suddenly pulled up.
"You can't die, I still have a lot of things to figure out!"
It turned out to be firecrackers.
"Heh, you can't figure it out, you don't want to figure it out for the rest of your life."
“.....”
Firecrackers saw that her eyes were blurred, and her pupils gradually lost focus.
"Pear Blossom...."
Just when she had mixed feelings in her heart, she suddenly heard the word pear blossom from the doctor's mouth.
"What's wrong with Rika?"
"Pear Blossom... I didn't kill it..."
After Cheng Nianxi finished the last sentence, he turned his head to look at Qi Zhongchen, who was kneeling beside him.
finally slowly closed her eyes, and at the last moment when she lost consciousness,
The words that Master Cheng said to her sounded in her ears: "Nianxi, only by sacrificing you can we save the family!" If you can't escape,
You can't live anymore. ”
Seven days later, the body of the eldest lady was sent back to the Cheng family, and the body of the old man holding his daughter became much older overnight.
At this point, the family and the prime minister's mansion were incompatible and cut off contact.
But the prime minister didn't think so, the hatred of killing his mother was not shared, and he lacked the support of a family.
He didn't take it seriously.
It's just that the prime minister is also a person who values love and righteousness in the end, and after the incident with the eldest lady, he was also traumatized.
And the emperor acted impulsively because of him and strangled Cheng Nianxi with his own hands, which is also quite complaining.
Although Hengfu claimed that the eldest lady committed suicide in shame, in the end, she killed someone in front of everyone.
The wind soon spread out of the streets and alleys, and it was said that the emperor was furious in the Shang study.
scolded the prime minister severely.
The in-laws couldn't do it, but they became enemies, and Chengfu quickly took refuge in the party.
Whether in business or in politics, they have changed the law to oppose the prime minister, and the Qi Mansion also has Qi Zhongchen because of the prime minister's private parts.
Unwilling to do his best to help, Qi Xiaoyun went back to her parents' house as a lobbyist several times to no avail.
The Prime Minister's Mansion is no longer as prosperous as it was back then, and seeing that the Prime Minister's power is declining day by day, the people in the mansion don't even dare to breathe all day long.
Three months later, Firecracker opened up with the second lady as he wished, mentioning the redemption of his body.
Although Second Mrs. Qi was reluctant, she nodded happily when she thought of Pear Blossom.
"What? Looking for a good family? I don't know which handsome man has the surname and who's name? ”
The firecrackers did not hide it, and truthfully reported the name of Shan Heng.
"No wonder, I can't find ..... after checking for so long"
The second lady smiled wryly and shook her head.
"Ruyu, what do you plan to do in the future?"
The second lady looked at Ruyu.
"The slave just wants to follow Madame..."
"What stupid things are you talking about? Don't you marry for the rest of your life? ”
"Slave, I haven't thought about it yet."
"That's it, if you have a good person, you must tell me,
Now that Cheng Nianxi is dead, this mansion is completely peaceful.
You don't have to worry about me anymore, after fighting for so long, I'm tired of fighting.
Now I just want to chant sutras every day, chant the Buddha, and transcend the excesses for those who died in this open and secret battle.
I felt more about the teachings of the old lady during her lifetime, and spent the rest of my life plainly. ”
Firecracker looked at the second lady's still bright face, but her eyes no longer seemed to be sharp,
On the contrary, she was a little more indifferent, maybe she had been fighting with the eldest lady for all these years, and finally in the continuous possession and loss,
Seeing everything clearly is just vanity and karma, and now that the enemy is dead, what is left to her is nothing more than embarrassing memories.
Firecrackers went to visit the young master in the East Garden before leaving the house, and promised to come back to visit him often in the future.
The little young master's face eased at this time, and Ken looked at her.
Hengyuan also rushed to the study when he heard the news, he really admired this girl,
She is smart and careful, and she also helped herself win the opportunity to enter the palace to study.
It would be nice if she could stay by her side, but the person she likes is Shan Heng, and he won't be delusional anymore.
It's the Mid-Autumn Festival again, and she climbs the locust tree, but she doesn't wait for the people who want to wait.
Before leaving, she tied a handkerchief embroidered with the delicate pattern of a locust tree to a branch.
A birthday gift for you, she muttered as she looked at the moon.
The moonlight pulled her shadow long, and a dark shadow stood not far away, with its back to the moon.
He knew she was leaving.
As soon as it was dawn the next day, she quietly got up and packed her baggage.
Shan Heng's carriage was waiting for her at the gate, and as for why it was chosen early in the morning, it was because she didn't want to face parting.
Instead of leaving with great fanfare, it is better to leave quietly.
She glanced back at the plaque of Hengfu and remembered the first time she stood under it,
He was still an orphan in rags, unable to eat all day long, and was sold around.
The second lady stood outside the door, dressed in purple, and the gold pendant on her ear was shaking, and she couldn't open her eyes.
It was winter, and it was just the end of the New Year.
The firecrackers crooked outside the door are still vivid, but she is no longer what she was back then.
In the past few years in this Hengfu, she has drifted away with the wind in front of her like a dream.
She jumped into the carriage and pulled back the curtains, revealing Shan Heng's eyes like the night sky.
entered the Shan Mansion, but did not let her live a good life completely pure.
Old Mrs. Shan knew that her grandson had brought back a girl from outside, but she inquired carefully, but she was a descendant of Hengfu.
Seeing that Shan Heng was different from ordinary women to this girl, he also listened to people and saw the two often flirting in the back garden.
was really angry in her heart, she had lobbied her grandson for a few family affairs, but he turned them away.
Every household on the other side of the door is Miss Qianjin, the lord of Wangsun County. But this kid just took a fancy to a lowly maid!
I also took great pains to bring it back to the house!
Master Shan didn't have it early, and all the housekeeping of the Shan Mansion was taken care of by the old lady, seeing that Shan Heng was becoming more and more unimportant in the eyes of the emperor,
was demoted earlier, but he has not been reinstated, and now he has a slight intention of promoting others.
The old lady couldn't sleep at night, lest Shan Fu's family business would fall into her hands, thinking that Shan Heng was so unenterprising, he must have been confused by that little fox embryo.
She found firecrackers again and again, but found that this girl was so ruthless that she actually learned to move thousands of pounds with her, and she couldn't refute it when she was always blocked in a few words.
I asked her why she stayed in Shanfu?
She said, "Repay the favor." ”
"What kind of favor?"
"The grace of mercy."
The old lady sneered disdainfully:
"It's weird to say, I see that you are climbing power and accepting nobility in the name of repaying your kindness."
"With the old lady here, the glory and wealth will naturally not be enjoyed on my head,
Rather than clinging to Ronghua, I hope that the old lady will live a long life and become a single son's filial piety. ”
"The truth is more beautiful than singing, I've seen a lot of girls like you,
Say one thing on your lips, worry about one thing in your heart, and toss one thing behind your back.
If I'm here for a day, don't think about the sparrow turning over, without my permission,
You are in Shanfu for a day, and you can still only be a subordinate! ”
"Yes....."
She only replied faintly, without blinking an eyelid.
Every time the old lady called her, she was angry with her,
I have lived for more than half a year, but I can't even fight a little girl who has not dried her milk.
Thinking about this girl who followed the second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion before, she was quite important to the master,
It seems that she guessed correctly, this scheming girl must have another purpose when she entered the mansion.
It's not for money, it's for power! Although she is a little maid and can't set off any waves,
Just think about the changes in Hengfu now, the prime minister and the Chengfu who used to be in-laws are enemies,
She is biased at this juncture like Shan Fu, is it difficult to be successful, she is the eyeliner sent by the prime minister to monitor Shan Heng,
Or.... She has been bought by the party! The incidents in Hengfu were all secretly instigated by her?
It's not impossible to think about it, the eldest lady's rival is the second daughter of the Qi family, and this firecracker is Qi Xiaoyun's henchman.
Oh no, that's good!
At first, she only looked down on the girl as a sparrow who wanted to climb the dragon and the phoenix, but now that she thinks about it, there is a wolf in this house!
