Chapter 55: Suspicion

I swore to promise it at the beginning, what did she say at this time?

The old lady had a gloomy face and was speechless.

Coming out of Rongshoutang with one foot deep and one foot shallow, the eldest lady muttered what the old lady said before leaving, "The Shen family's business is like this, what kind of birthday do you have?" "Is this angry talk, or do you really want to do it?

Will she do it, or will she not do it?

Shen Huaiyu's 100-day festival had just experienced a sudden change, and the eldest lady, who had always been shrewd, was also a little undecided at this time, and her expression was in a trance, and she felt that she was becoming more and more unable to guess the old lady's thoughts.

I went to the hall to deal with the things of the day, and when I returned to the Jinyuan, I was already in charge of the lamp.

Uncle Shen Huaijie was eating tea in the living room.

“…… Why did you come back? The eldest lady was taken aback, "Why don't you send someone to call me?" ”

"I heard that Master Fu was coming, so I hurried back." Shen Huaijie put down the teacup and stood up, "I came back secretly, I was afraid that the old lady would be unhappy if she found out, so I didn't let people go to you." ”

Obviously she had rushed back, but she didn't go to Shen Huaiyu's grave to go to the pillar incense, and the old lady didn't know what to think when she knew about it!

Remembering that the old lady was angry, the eldest lady was noncommittal.

talked about Fu Wannian's insistence on going to the inn, "...... Now that you're back, go and meet you. ”

"I've been there as soon as I got back." Shen Huaijie's face was full of frustration, "He was also anxious about the matter of grain and grass, he originally wanted to wait for me at the inn, but he received an urgent letter from Lord Zhu and left at noon, but he actually took a fork in the road with me...... "The bowels of regret are cleared," I knew he would come. I might as well rush back early to burn the third brother for 100 days. ”

The eldest lady's face changed, and she was speechless.

"Mother don't worry, she can come to worship the third brother. It shows that Master Fu is also a loving and righteous person, and now the holy decree has made it clear that the grain and grass in Tanxi are led by him, and the right to supply grain to the army of the Western Expedition this time belongs to my Shen family! As soon as the topic changed, Shen Huaijie mentioned the matter of the title deed of Pearl Pond again, "...... These days, the mother has no idea to ask the old lady. ”

No matter how sure you are, speculation is speculation. If you don't confirm it in person, no one can do it for sure.

The eldest lady waved away the maid in the house.

"I asked Tian's mother to ask, and the old lady said that it should always be in the hands of the third master. Let's go to Lijing Pavilion and look for it again. ”

"You've already doubled it twice?" The corners of Shen Huaijie's mouth twitched.

The room fell silent.

Seeing the figure shaking outside the door curtain, the eldest lady shouted, "Who! ”

The cuckoo came in with a curtain, "The house is full." Let the slave and maid see if the uncle is finished. ”

Shen Huaijie's eyes lit up. "Let him in."

The hall bowed down to give salutes to the eldest lady and uncle, "...... Master Fang insisted that he had nothing to do with it and refused to sell it to us. ”

Shen Huaijie slapped the table, "If you don't give it to the Shen family, who is he going to sell it to?" ”

Mantang took two steps back, not daring to squeak.

After sending the hall away, the eldest lady turned her head and asked Shen Huaijie, "What's the matter?" ”

Shen Huaijie told Master Fang that he was going to sell his house and property. Hehe smiled, "...... There are rumors out there. This time, Master Fang was embarrassed. ”

The eldest lady laughed too.

Suddenly frowned again, "You say...... Could it be that the child is not the third master at all? Afraid of a bone test, so I want to secretly sell the land and real estate and escape? ”

"Won't it?"

was smiling, Shen Huaijie's expression suddenly froze

He shook his head again, "Master Fang is as timid as a rabbit, if it weren't for the third brother's child, if you scared him so much that day, he would have recruited him a long time ago." "How dare you agree without blinking an eyelid," Besides, her daughter is still in our house." ”

That's a living hostage!

"It's also said that with the power of the Shen family, give him ten dares not dare to pretend to be a blood relative!" The eldest lady nodded, and muttered in confusion, "But why did he sell the house?" ”

"Needless to say, after my daughter has done such a shameful thing, how can they still hold their heads up?" Shen Huaijie snorted, "Especially his three sons, the eldest has already resigned from the errand of the Liuhe Chamber of Commerce, and the second child doesn't dare to go out to collect rent, especially the third child, I heard that he can't even go to school." ”

The eldest lady laughed.

The smile suddenly stopped.

"That's not right!"

“…… What's wrong? ”

"It's normal for them to want to move, and it's strange if they don't." The eldest lady changed her words, "It's just, why didn't he sell it to us?" With the reputation of the Shen family, can you still owe him? "After all, it is the family of the sons and daughters, and they are also relatives when they move, and if they don't tell others, they have to tell them that this debt cannot be owed to Huang," don't you move around in the future, but you deny it with your eyes open? Shaking his head again, "No, there must be something going on here." ”

Shen Huaijie also solemnly got up.

"Dowry!" He suddenly slapped his thigh, "It must be the dowry of 10,000 taels of silver!" Looking at the eldest lady with sparkling eyes, "If this child is not the third master's, he will have to return it to me for nothing!" "But how can you spit out the fat that reaches your mouth?

People die for money, birds die for food, and if you are yourself, you won't spit it out if you die!

Although he is as timid as a mouse, Fang Ping'an loves money like life!

The eldest lady's heart fluttered, "So ......"

……

The crescent crescent slowly climbed the treetops.

The shadows of the swaying trees, the cold new grave, and the white figure sitting in front of the grave were all shrouded in a faint haze.

“…… Huaiyu, I toast you! The man in white raised his hand, and a glass of sake was slowly sprinkled on the smooth bluestone platform in front of the tomb, and the ...... was very clear in the quiet night.

It was as if Shen Huaiyu was sitting opposite, and the man in white raised his glass, tilted his head, and drank all the wine in his cup.

After toasting three glasses in a row, the white man stopped his hand.

He stared silently at the timeless name on the stele, his blurred face hidden in the shadow of the stele, half-hidden and half-visible, and he couldn't see it really.

He just sat there cross-legged, suddenly a clay sculpture in front of the tombstone.

"Uncle, it's not too early...... "The lights under the mountain were in a hurry, and he walked up leisurely.

When the lights were close, I saw clearly that the man in white in front of the grave was Shen Huaiyu's fierce rival - Yang Ziqian!

Yang Ziqian slowly stood up, standing expressionlessly in front of Shen Huaiyu's tombstone, and after a moment, he turned around, "Let's go." ”

The little guy turned sideways with the wind, half a step behind and raised the lantern in his hand, just shining on the road under Yang Ziqian's feet, the tortuous mountain road had already been built into a neat bluestone step, and in the quiet night, the soft walking shoes fell on it, and the sound was strangely empty.

Subconsciously turned his head with the wind.

Behind him was empty and quiet.

The silence was a little scary.

Sui Feng couldn't help but complain, "Uncle too, since ancient times, the dead have been respected, let the festival be, even if you come in the open, the Shen family will not dare to do anything?" "I want to be sneaky, this black light is blind, and it scares people to death.

Yang Ziqian's back was slightly sluggish, and he was speechless.

The air was quiet and frightening, afraid that once the sound stopped, it would fall into a terrible dead silence, and he said indiscriminately with the wind: "When the day comes, you can still see the peerless demeanor of Grandma Shen San......" (to be continued......
