Chapter 174: Behind the Scenes
Listening to Zhu Jingshen's words, Wen Yi was stunned at first, and then shocked: "Falling into the well? Be...... Was it an accident? "Isn't it ...... Someone did it, right?
Zhu Jingshen's expression was calm: "No one knows if it was an accident, but just the day before she fell into the well, she mentioned to the people of Luwangfu and Dongyang Houfu that the maid of the Shilang Mansion sent a mother-in-law to Zheng's house to deliver a letter, but she did not leave, and also said that she had seen this maid walk into Meilin in the garden." At the time she was talking about, the eldest lady of the Dongyang Hou Mansion was among the Merlins. ”
Other words...... This maid in King Lu's Mansion indirectly proves that Cui Yu beside Wen Hui is the maid ring who approached Du Yuanru and led her to a secluded place? This is a naked frame-up
Wen Yi forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart and asked, "But...... We also have witnesses who can prove that the girl she said about Cuiyu had already left the Luwang Mansion after receiving the message she relayed, and Miss Du also knew this. ”
"That's true." Zhu Jingshen said lightly, "So after the Dongyang Marquis Mansion spoke, the princess of the Luwang Mansion ordered someone to take this maid into custody and try it again at the right time." Unexpectedly, the next day, the people of the palace found that the maid was inexplicably missing, and in the evening, someone found her shoes at the mouth of a well in a small side courtyard where the people of the palace lived, and recovered her body in the well. He raised his eyes to look at Wen Yi, "She was originally imprisoned elsewhere, not to mention how she appeared at the mouth of that well, she obviously escaped from her confinement, but she jumped into the well to find a short view, which is also very strange." The Lu Wangfu has ordered a thorough investigation of the matter, and sent people to the Dongyang Marquis Mansion and the Shilang Mansion to inquire about the details. Maybe when Miss Gu returns to the city, someone will come to the door to ask. ”
Wen Yi took a deep breath, where did she not know that someone was killing her mouth? The maid of the palace was originally used by the master behind the scenes to blame Wen Hui, but Du Yuanru met him unexpectedly, discovered the true face of the maid who led the way, and revealed the truth of the matter early, so that the waiter's mansion, Wen Hui, and Cui Yu got rid of suspicion first, and this maid was useless. It seems that she did not know it at the time, so she spoke it to the man as the Lord had commanded her, and she was rightly taken by someone. At this moment, if she is still alive, it is easy for Lu Wangfu to know who is behind it. In order to protect himself, the Lord made people ruthlessly carry out black hands.
It's just that...... That is the maid of the Lu Wangfu, with that lord to make people noble, how can they commit murder in the palace? Her behavior has already aroused the jealousy of the Lu Palace, right? Even if King Lu is a gentleman who is indifferent to fame and fortune and is humble and modest, he will not tolerate outsiders doing whatever they want in his own home
Wen Yi sighed and looked at Zhu Jingshen: "Thank you Shizi for informing." When the little girl returns to the capital, if she really meets someone sent by the Lu Wangfu to inquire, she will tell her the details she knows, and she will never dare to omit anything. As for the other ......," she hesitated, "At this moment, whether it is the Lu Wangfu or the Dongyang Hou family, they are all alarmed, I'm afraid that even the palace has heard of it, right?" Want...... The little girl's safety can still be guaranteed. "If the Zheng family is not hopelessly stupid, they should know that it is best not to do anything at this time, wait for the turmoil to pass, and not mention any words of revenge and non-revenge. After all, there is no evidence to conclusively prove that the mastermind behind the scenes is Zheng Lijun, everything is just speculation. As long as there is no clear evidence, with the faces of Concubine Zheng and the third prince, no matter how deeply everyone doubts her, they will not do anything to the Zheng family, if she does a black hand to herself at this time, it is tantamount to forcing her family into a desperate situation, even if she is so stupid, the Zheng Taiwei, who has been calling for wind and rain in the court for so many years, will not tolerate her daughter burying her foundation for many years
Of course, no one knows what the high-ranking Ninety-Five Supreme will do with her afterwards.
Wen Yi felt that there shouldn't be any danger to herself, at least, not now.
She raised her eyes to look at Zhu Jingshen and saluted again: "Thank you for telling me." Although this prince of King Kang is disgusted with his actions, he is willing to remind him that he has no intention of being kind.
Zhu Jingshen stared at her a few times before retracting his gaze and turning his head: "Anyway...... Be careful, even if you can be safe now, ...... afterwards But it's hard to say. When the wind calms down, you'd better not go out casually, and don't be reckless enough to run outside with only a few people. If there is really anything, the Li family boy...... The milk smell is not dry, what can it be used for? After that, he raised his feet and walked out, but when he passed by Dong Kui, he suddenly reached out and touched her face: "What are you doing with a straight face?" This prince is not a tiger, and he will not eat your master and servant, if I am a tiger, you can drive me away with a straight face? Then he grinned, lifted the curtain and went out.
Wen Yi and Dong Kui were in a hurry, and they couldn't react for a while, and they were both stunned by him. Tomlyho's face was flushed, and he trembled with anger, gritted his teeth and threw the curtain on it, and chased after him. And Wen Yi hurriedly instructed: "Come back quickly, don't annoy him" In his heart, he left behind the gratitude he had just born, and stomped his feet angrily: "This person ...... This man...... Even if it's a child, it's too hateful" I regret that I was too kind and provoked such a demon lord, but I forgot that there are so many fatherless and motherless orphans in this world, but not everyone is a good-hearted person
Footsteps sounded behind the screen, Wen Yi turned around, and found that Liu Dongxing had returned to the quiet room at some point, and was immediately surprised and delighted: "Where did you hide just now?" Scared me back, I'll be found out."
Liu Dongxing didn't speak, his eyes looked at the door curtain that was still shaking, for some reason, his eyes were a little deep, and after a while, he turned his gaze, looked at her and asked, "These days...... What the hell is going on? Why is it related to Luwangfu and Dongyang Houfu again? ”
Tomallow chased her out of the pharmacy, still unable to contain the anger in her body, but luckily Lingtai still had a shred of reason, telling her that she couldn't do anything to the noble prince of the domain. But she stood at the door of the store, her hands clenched into fists, staring at Zhu Jingshen as she got into the carriage with the help of the maid and the attendant named Wang Yue, hating that her gaze could not be turned into a sharp arrow and shoot this shameless young man through the hole
Zhu Jingshen seemed to be able to see the anger in her heart, and the smile on her face did not diminish at all, until Qiu Tan lowered the carriage curtain and Wang Yue ordered the coachman to set off again, and then disappeared.
Qiu Tan let out a long breath and patted his chest: "I'm scared to death, what did you do to that sister?" Look at the way people stare at you, as if you were her life-and-death enemy."
Zhu Jingshen tugged at the corners of his mouth: "What else?" Your daughter's family asked someone to touch it, and it was all like this. What's wrong with touching it? Can you still have less meat? ”
Qiu Tan straightened up suddenly, his eyes widened: "Lord Shizi, is it difficult for you...... Could it be ...... Taking advantage of other people's young ladies? "She had been waiting outside the door and had not seen her.
"Nonsense" Zhu Jingshen rolled his eyes, "Am I the kind of person who lacks heart?" It's just a touch of the little girl's face. Little girl or something, it's nothing to suffer a little loss, that Miss Gu Jiu saw me do this, she will definitely stay away from me from now on, and it will save me from burdening her. But if I do anything to such a girl from a serious family, how can they give up? Of course, I can't please if she makes a big fuss, and she herself has to bury me for the rest of my life, and I have no enmity with her, so I won't do that kind of stupid thing."
Qiu Tan breathed a sigh of relief, but he still couldn't help but say angrily: "Lord Shizi, you did this again, that Miss Gu is a good person, let's go to Beijing for all these years, have we suffered less and suffered less anger?" A person like her, who knows that everyone doesn't want to see you, and is willing to care about your food and clothing, but doesn't report her name and doesn't ask for anything in return, may not be able to meet a young lady who is not a high-ranking official and eunuch in a year, even if the palace knows, she will not suspect anything, why do you push people out? How good her temperament is, like you just now, recklessly broke in, her girl was angry, but she still had a pleasant face, and persuaded you to go back to the palace as soon as possible to heal your injuries, and peace is the priority. Such a good person, if we could get closer to each other, you wouldn't have had such a hard time. You're confused again."
"What do you know?" Zhu Jingshen muttered, "Just because she is a good person, I can't get too close to her...... Especially at this time...... "his voice was almost inaudible," she had been implicated in the important affairs of the imperial court concerning the crown prince and military power, the ...... in the palace But a suspicious master......"
Qiu Tan didn't hear it clearly, and complained there: "I have persuaded you countless times a long time ago, you are not a greedy and lustful person, but you just use such a method, although you can protect others, but it also makes your own reputation too bad If you continue like this, sooner or later, the emperor will even remove your name as a son" As soon as the words fell, she hurriedly covered her mouth, looking uneasy, her face was flushed, and she stammered: "Lord Shizi, I'm not ...... I'm not a ...... with a heart."
The mildness in Zhu Jingshen's eyes had disappeared, and he smiled coldly: "You don't have to be afraid, you're just telling the truth." I already knew it in my heart. However, even if I don't mess around, can he really let me inherit the title left by my father? Even if there really is that day, it is just a false title, and the palace may not be able to have it, let alone the royal seal and domain that have been passed down from generation to generation, so I might as well completely annoy him, let him strip me of my name as a son of the world, and drive me out of the palace. At least, I can live a comfortable life for a few years, even if I am a common man, it is better to be like now, I am ignored everywhere, and I am always restrained by others......"
Qiu Tan's expression was gloomy, and he was silent for a long time, before he timidly raised the bottle of medicinal wine that Wen Yi gave and asked in a low voice, "Then this ...... Do you want to use it? ”
Zhu Jingshen stared at the white porcelain vase for a long time, then silently turned his head, tore off the handkerchief on his face, tilted it to the side, and said listlessly: "What are you using?" Since Gu Jiu said that this was the secret recipe of that pharmacy, it must be a little famous, which attracted her to come. Since it's a good medicine, it's not what I want. He paused, "You can take it, put it away." ”
Qiu Tan answered, and carefully put the medicinal wine into the box on the side of the carriage. Zhu Jingshen's eyes kept on the porcelain vase until the box lid was closed, and then he suddenly straightened up and knocked his fist on the wall of the car: "Wang Yue Wang Yue, haven't you inquired, isn't the doctor in the pharmacy good at bruises?" ”
Wang Yue, who was outside the carriage, replied a little hesitantly: "It's the negligence of his subordinates." The subordinates had only been here for a few days, and they didn't ask for details, only that the doctor was good at treating rheumatism and pediatric diseases, but they didn't know that the shopkeeper of the pharmacy had a secret recipe for medicinal wine, which had a good effect on bruises......"
Zhu Jingshen secretly screamed bad luck and scolded him twice, but he still remembered that he was one of the few capable people in his hands, if he scolded people to the point of discouragement, it would be inconvenient to do things in the future, so he stopped talking and sulked in the car alone.
Qiu Tan looked at his expression and asked cautiously, "Then what do we ......do next?" Would you like to go to another doctor's house? ”
"Where are you going?" Zhu Jingshen rolled his eyes, "It's just that I don't take medicine, it's a big deal to fall again, there is good medicine in the horizontal and vertical, and it won't hurt the muscles and bones."
At this time, Wen Yi had simply told Liu Dongxing about her experience in Lu Wangfu, originally, she was worried about Du Yuanru's reputation and didn't plan to say it, but at this time, she had to let Liu Dongxing know, so that he could give himself a suggestion: "I have only been in Beijing for half a month, and I don't know much about the affairs of the court and the affairs between the magnates, and I don't know if it is appropriate to do so." I just thought ...... What Miss Zheng did was too insidious, and she didn't care about other people's lives. Therefore, I do not regret helping Miss Du at that time. ”
Liu Dongxing sighed, raised his eyes and smiled at her: "It doesn't matter." The Zheng family didn't dare to do anything. It's too late for them to wash away their suspicions. As for the future...... his smile suddenly became a little evil: "They will be very busy, too busy to bother to find someone to vent their revenge......"
Wen Yi was a little uneasy in her heart: "Brother Liu? ”
Liu Dongxing looked at her again and smiled gently: "What's the matter?" ”
Wen Yi hesitated for a moment and shook his head: "It's nothing, I'm just ...... I'm worried about you......" she trembled and probed, "You're not going to do anything risky, are you?" ”
"Where do you think of it?" Liu Dongxing smiled very brightly, "I'm just a little martial artist, I'm too late to practice martial arts and learn the art of war all day long, where can I have time to do anything risky?" You don't have to be careful. He said as if unintentionally: "I'll go back to the city today to tell my second uncle about us." You don't have to worry, I've already figured out a way to deal with that white aunt. After you return to the city, you can rest assured that you can go back to the Shilang Mansion. Although Mrs. Li is a good person, if you live in the Li family for too long, you will inevitably cause trouble to others. ”
Wen Yi hesitated a little: "But ......" Didn't Liu Dongxing just say that if you want to be closer to the elders, the elders will be happier? Let's talk about the side of the Shilang Mansion......
Liu Dongxing didn't know what she was thinking, but said: "I'm leaving, if you have something to find me, I want to send a letter to the Liu Mansion in Yangliver Hutong in Xicheng District, and I will live there." If I'm not at home, just leave a letter. ”
Wen Yi nodded hesitantly: "I know, you ...... Take care of yourself. "Next time...... Don't do this kind of thing anymore, let people know, it's always bad to ......" blushed slightly.
Liu Dongxing just smiled, dropped a sentence of "rest assured", shook her hand again, and then lifted the curtain and went out. When Wen Yi chased him out, he was no longer visible.
Wen Yi felt a little stunned, and was stunned for a while, before remembering that he had forgotten to ask, where did he hide? She remembers it clearly...... He's in that big mahogany closet
And the bottle of medicinal wine......
Just as she was thinking about it, Tomoock returned, looking dejected. Wen Yi sighed, hurriedly cleaned up her mood, and went up to appease her cronies and maids.
