152 Prophets of the Unknown
So Li was ruthless in his heart, biting his lip and smiling: "Where is the eldest princess asking people like this, the little girl is thin-skinned, how can she be embarrassed to admit it, and I don't know where those people heard the news, and mistakenly heard Miss Zhang as Miss Zhong, and gave birth to these misunderstandings." ”
The two cousins suddenly had different expressions, one couldn't help but bow his head shyly, and the other had disappointment in his eyes.
Miss Zhang and Miss Zhong are somewhat similar in pronunciation, and it is normal to say that they will hear it wrong, but I didn't expect that Li would decide on a candidate for such a reason, of course, it may be that Miss Zhang is more similar to Li, and she is the kind of girl who is gentle and talented.
Lu Xiao shouted, "Mother." "It's not good to say in front of so many people that Zhong Xiaoxin won't marry, but the Li family has already said that the blind date with the Zhong Mansion is a misunderstanding, in this case, no matter how hard he tries, he will only add chaos to Zhong Xiaoxin's reputation like Bai Qi, especially if he refutes the Li family, saying that he only marries Zhong Xiaoxin and does not marry others, then Zhong Xiaoxin, Li and Miss Zhang's reputation will be affected.
Li's words actually made Lu Xiao unable to speak anymore.
Lu Xiao looked over, Zhong Xiaoxin looked at him with tears in his eyes, like parting with life and death. Lu Xiao estimated that this girl was reluctant to accept the two shops and houses he had promised, but even if she was reluctant, Zhong Xiaoxin still shook her head secretly, her eyes drifted to Li's place, and Lu Xiao sighed secretly. Children have always been required to obey their parents' orders in marriage, and Li has already said such things in public, so no matter what efforts he and Zhong Xiaoxin make for this family matter, they will be charged with private confession.
Lu Xiao didn't say more, he could only try to contact this Miss Zhang Biao later, hoping that she was a really talented and transparent girl, if she could see marriage as a transaction like Zhong Xiaoxin, and everything would be measured by money, then she might be able to get along.
So Lu Xiao remarried...... No, the object of remarriage was decided in this way.
However, the eldest princess still kept the two cousins of the Bai family down, because being elected or losing the election could not eliminate the suspicion that they were framed.
The Bai family was waved away by the eldest princess. The Xin family naturally retired.
Mrs. Bo Shizi took over Zhong Xiaoxin's task, and she also went out to publicize to her the deeds of "the innocent murder of the righteous woman, and the trial of the eldest princess Qingtian". The room was much more empty all of a sudden, and Xiao Shen took 3 girls and 4 girls, as members of the Zhong family, to listen to the side.
Since Chi Si took over the investigation of the case as instructed, he naturally had to continue, and first interrogated the mother-in-law and said, "You still refuse to tell the truth? Who is the person who instructed you to assassinate Miss Zhong." ”
The mother-in-law's face is now so pale that she can't do it, the power of the eldest princess and the attitude of everyone to investigate to the end make her understand that she will not end well today, she is not unwilling to tell the truth before, but she feels that she gritted her teeth and does not relax her confession, her sin can be lighter, whether it is to pass on the message for others or frame others, the difference is too great, now that everyone has identified Zhong Xiaoxin as killed, the mother-in-law will be tortured if she doesn't tell the truth.
The woman said with a pale face: "I don't know who commanded me, but one day, I suddenly received a letter from Zhuangzi, with a silver ticket of one hundred taels attached, asking me to do this." ”
Chi Si asked, "You said that you were in Zhuangzi, that means that you didn't come to the Eldest Princess's Mansion to work at that time?" "The servants who were transferred from Zhuangzi to work in the Eldest Princess's Mansion were all set half a month in advance and also transferred to the mansion for training in advance.
"Half a month ago. The woman said, and then her face showed fear: "At that time, I only knew that the eldest princess's mansion was going to transfer a group of subordinates to serve, but I didn't know who it would transfer, but that letter came, not only grabbed our family a big handle, but also said that our mother and daughter would be transferred to the mansion to listen to the errand, and attached me that note, let us do these things, saying that as long as we lead someone to see the private meeting between Miss Po Zhong and Bai Qigongzi, it's okay." ”
How can Chi Si believe it. "If she asks you to do it, you will do it?" also attached so much money of a hundred taels of silver first, what if the mother-in-law only took the silver and didn't work?
The woman was also honest, and put it together: "It's really that person has a big handle on us in the letter, and we have to obey her orders." ”
"What's the handle?" Chi Si asked.
"Yes......" The woman hesitated twice, thinking that she was arrested today, and the nobles were waiting to be investigated, and they couldn't escape anything, so she gritted her teeth and said the matter with tears.
The reason is that the mother-in-law's husband is sick, a strange disease, spent all the money in the family, the mother-in-law's husband was originally in the eldest princess's small grange in the suburbs of Beijing is also a big steward, in order to treat the disease on the move of a lot of money, but I didn't expect the disease has not been cured, the deficit money can not be repaid, the mother-in-law's family of three thought about sneaking away, just at this time came the letter, not only the mother-in-law husband embezzled public funds clearly, but also attached a hundred taels of silver with the letter, and clearly said that the matter was completed and gave another two hundred taels as thanks.
The most important thing is that the letter also stated that the eldest princess is a person who loves to take care of family affairs and loves to watch the excitement, as long as the mother-in-law can do the white bell thing, the eldest princess sees that there is a pair of bitter lovers who are affectionate to each other and separated by the family in her house, and she will definitely be the master of it.
The mother-in-law was also half shocked when she received the letter at first, they were already ready to run away, and they could ignore the revelations in the letter, but first, the letter was full of uncertain prophets, and the gods talked about a lot of things about their family, and wrote some things that would happen in the future, which later proved to be accurate, and second, the silver ticket attached to the letter was real money, so that the mother-in-law's husband had money to ask for medicine, and thirdly, the imperial doctor Wen mentioned in the letter became the only hope for the mother-in-law's family. The most important thing is that the letter said that both the mother-in-law and the mother and daughter will be selected to serve in the house, and the mother-in-law and mother and daughter were selected to be trained in the eldest princess's mansion on the third day.
After Chi Si heard his mother-in-law's words, his face sank at that time, and he whispered the word "uncertain prophet" twice, and the whole person became serious. Although all kinds of strange forces and chaotic content are mixed in it, but look at the carp essence of Jackie Chan lying on the bed over there, and the former dynasty Da Chu respected the White Lotus Sect as the state religion, and I often heard that there are people in the sect who have supernatural powers, and what the mother-in-law said, although it sounds incredible, it is very likely to be true.
"Where's the letter?" Chi Si asked.
