Chapter 357: Suicide Note
Seeing that Xue Hainiang's eyes flashed slightly, as if she was a little moved, Meng Shi was bold, and then said, "Although this crime is related to the royal bloodline, and the Chu family's attempt to confuse the royal bloodline will inevitably lead to death, but if she is really murdered by someone with a heart this time, the concubine really doesn't want the murderer to get away with it." ”
Her thoughts were not much different from Xue Hainiang's, although the Chu family committed a capital crime, it was impossible to escape death in the end. Because of this, Xue Hainiang just came to make a mistake, just to see if she could clear up her grievances, but now she has already examined the body and determined that the Chu family committed suicide by hanging a beam, and there is also a suicide note.
Xue Hainiang said the words of the man, "If the Chu family was really victimized by a traitor, the concubine should have found justice for her, but now, the Chu family did commit suicide by hanging the beam, and only then did he come to examine the body, and there was a suicide note written by the Chu family before his death. ”
Xue Hainiang whispered to Ah Ling.
Ah Ling was ordered, and after giving a gift to the Yun and Meng clans, the money was withdrawn.
Xue Hainiang explained to Meng: "I have already called Ah Ling to go to Meng's courtyard to get Meng's suicide note, I think I will know the truth later." ”
Xue Hainiang was inclined to believe that the Meng family did die of suicide by hanging the beam, and it was a person invited from outside the house, and it was handled by Ah Ling, so there was no possibility of being bought, so there was no reason for the person to lie.
Seeing this, the Meng family and the Yun family could only wait quietly.
After about a cup of tea, I saw Ah Ling slowly walking into the inner room with a letter, and saluted Xue Hainiang, Meng's, and Yun's before bowing his head to the ground and presenting the suicide note to Xue Hainiang. According to the letter, the Chu family was afraid that this matter would affect the family, she knew that she had already disgraced the family, and she did not hope to escape death, but only hoped that His Royal Highness could look at the deceased's sake, and not spread the rumors about this matter, and she did not want the Chu Mansion to know that she secretly colluded with the palace doctor and tried to confuse the royal bloodline. ”
This is said more dexterously, if this matter is not spread and reported to the imperial city in the way of her violent death, it will naturally avoid implicating her family's lintel, otherwise, confusing the royal bloodline and colluding with the palace doctor Zhu Fetus Wall will definitely drag the Chu family out of prison.
Meng got up again and gave a salute to Xue Hainiang, in terms of etiquette, Xue Hainiang knew that Meng was the most respectful person, and he really regarded himself as the side concubine of this palace.
"The concubine begs the side concubine to give this handwritten suicide note to the concubine, okay?"
Meng's eyes showed a look of pleading.
Xue Hainiang naturally agreed, and the reason why she called Ah Ling to take the suicide note was to let Meng Shi pass his eyes and make Meng feel at ease. Now that this suicide note has been taken, it is natural that Meng Shi should take a look at it.
Xue Hainiang handed the suicide note to Meng's hand, Meng took it and took a look, looking at the familiar penmanship in front of him, and burst into tears for a while. Reddish eye sockets.
"The concubine believed it, Chu did commit suicide by hanging the beam, and this suicide note was written by her. ”
In fact, Meng can also understand Chu's behavior. Since she met the Chu family, she knew that the Chu family had always put the family first, and this time she dared to collude with the palace doctor and confuse the royal bloodline, which was nothing more than that she was anxious to give birth to the imperial heir and win glory for the Chu family, so she would make a big mistake. Now that she is apologizing for her sins with death, she is hoping that Nan Shuke can see that the deceased is gone, and the future and past events are written off, whether she can not publicize this matter and not shame the Chu family as much as possible.
"Even if you have seen it, you will feel a little more at ease. Mrs. Meng can have dinner?" Xue Hainiang smiled lightly, but her words were gentle and harmonious, since Meng's temperament was good and she was sincere in treating her, she was naturally willing to be friendly with Meng's.
Meng Shi shook his head slightly, "As soon as Mrs. Yun and I learned the news of the Chu family's suicide, we rushed here in a hurry and didn't have time to eat. ”
The moment she learned that Chu's hanging beam committed suicide, she only felt that the world had changed color, and where was there still an appetite to eat.
Xue Hainiang turned her eyes to the Yun family again, it stands to reason that the Chu family has turned the world upside down, and the Chu family and the Meng family are friends. The Meng clan was restless and came to beg her to be the master, Xue Hainiang could understand it, but the Yun clan looked at the relationship with the Chu clan, and thought that it was because of the Meng clan that they would come here.
Xue Hainiang smiled lightly, and her words seemed to be mixed with a little helplessness and ridicule, "Ah Ling will buy a table of delicacies for me today, if Mrs. Meng and Mrs. Yun don't mind, you can sit down and eat together." ”
The Meng family had already gotten rid of the slightly complicated mind, and now when he saw Xue Hainiang's invitation, he would not refuse, "It's hard to resist the hospitality, and the concubine will obey the order." ”
Xue Hainiang hurriedly signaled Ah Ling to hurry up and heat up the dishes and prepare two more pairs of dishes and chopsticks.
After dinner, Xue Hainiang thought about giving Meng and Yun a ride to avoid accidents on the way.
However, just as he was about to speak. Meng Shi looked around the pavilion, as if thinking about something, and blurted out and asked: "The concubine looks at Juan'er to serve the side concubine, why haven't you seen Juan'er now?"
Meng's words were not deliberately said, but Juan'er was secretly dispatched by Mrs. Liu to serve in Liuyi Pavilion, and what happened in the Wangfu study yesterday was not known except for Xue Hainiang, Mrs. Liu, Ah Ling, Juan'er and Nan Shuke, and Meng and Yun didn't know that Juan'er had been completely transferred to Liuyi Pavilion.
Xue Hainiang didn't answer this question directly, she put the tea cup on the warm stove to cook, and smiled lightly, "When Concubine Ben served His Majesty in the palace before, His Majesty praised me for having a pair of skillful hands in cooking tea and soup, and today, Mrs. Meng and Mrs. Yun can be regarded as blessed." This is not a boast, in the past, when she served in the imperial front, Nan Jiuxi praised her for her excellent craftsmanship many times.
Hearing this, both Meng and Yun's eyes lit up, although the two of them didn't know anything about the palace, they knew Xue Hainiang's former identity very well. It was originally a female official serving in the pantry, but within a year, it was a rising rise to the position of a female official serving in front of the palace, if it weren't for the favor of His Majesty in craftsmanship, how could he have been so promoted.
"In this way, I thanked the side concubine. Meng and Yun didn't get up, but sat on the soft floor and smiled slightly.
Only then did Xue Hainiang answer the question raised by Fang Cai Meng, "I see that Juan'er is more suitable to serve Mrs. Liu, and Mrs. Liu seems to be extremely reluctant to serve Juan'er in my place, so I will be the master and redeploy Juan'er to Liuyi Pavilion." ”
Meng's eyes flashed slightly, she was not a dull person, Xue Hainiang said this, she naturally understood the truth of the matter, and she didn't ask more questions at the moment.
