Chapter 22: Eating Salt

He wanted to see what kind of flower a cowardly waste, a ruined brat, could judge.

The two looked at each other, and their eyes were satisfied.

As everyone knows, Gu Xinian was waiting for him.

On the contrary, I am afraid that he will not dare to judge himself, but now that he has the opportunity, he will naturally not refuse.

She didn't speak immediately, but picked up the lid on the teacup in a hurry, and made a noise on the body of the cup.

"You said you wanted to frame me because you hated me. Then I ask you, do you know the consequences of doing this? ”

Juan'er clenched her hands, how could she not know?

If she fails, she must also take the blame for the sake of her mother and brother, because her mother and brother are her life!

She must succeed, in this way, if Li Feifei passes the scene according to the agreement, and helps her cheat to death, she can also survive her mother if she has an explanation to the outside world.

Gu Xinian noticed the movement of her hand, and knocked on the table for a while.

"This is the first time you and I have met, and I have never done anything to be sorry for you before, how can you make you rather die than harm me?"

Speaking of this, Juan'er's eyes were red and she was extremely angry.

"You are morally corrupt and have a bad reputation, but you sit in the seat of a concubine and act recklessly. Poor people like us, where are we willing to use money on weekdays?

But in order to cure the disease, his savings were exhausted, and he was in debt, but he still couldn't afford to buy good medicinal materials. Whether it is hunger or cold, or pain, it all depends on endurance. ”

"But what I hate is not only your moral character of being a good person, but also that you treat the people like mustard!"

"Four years ago, my father and my brother were working in Yefu. Just because your father accidentally broke your flowers, you were refused to return to the house by the second prince, so you were beaten to death. ”

"My brother was also angry with you because of his intercession, and he ended up in the same fate. When my mother heard the news, she couldn't afford to be seriously ill, and you ruined my family, how could I not hate you?? ”

The words are silent.

Some people are puzzled, and some people are proud.

Su Chen frowned, he had known about Gu Xinian's situation, and it would never be like this.

"Where did you find out?"

"My family was beaten to death, and I just stuffed a piece of silver in the house and asked about it."

Just ask? Do you know, is it true or not?

"Then why didn't you go into the house to take revenge? As long as you enter the Ye Mansion, you can find an opportunity to kill me at any time, even if it is a fire. ”

She didn't want to, but her mother couldn't afford to be sick, and her younger brother was only one and a half years old, and he needed to be taken care of.

In case she never returns......

"Believe it or not, the deaths of your father and brother have nothing to do with me. You are for your family, but do you know that your actions can't protect your family? ”

Looking at Juan'er's puzzled eyes, Su Chen coughed, and his voice raised a few points.

"The earliest law of Beimo, the assassin of the royal family, should be connected to the nine clans."

"No...... How can it be? You lied to me! ”

She looked up in a panic and saw that Li Feifei was also confused, so she stabilized a little.

However, she was not the only one who was confused.

"Sister...... This...... When did Beimo have this kind of law? ”

Ye Chenghuan, who asked questions, but Gu Xinian glanced at her, and he didn't bird her.

This made Ye Chenghuan's face a little unbearable.

Su Chen looked at Juan'er on the ground, his brows furrowed slightly, this servant's mouth was hard.

"If you put it together, then I will protect you, your mother, and your brother."

If Gu Xinian said this, she wouldn't believe it, but if it was Su Chen......

But what if they can be saved? There was no money to buy medicine for her mother, and her mother couldn't survive for long.

But if she bears this sin, her mother may still live.

At this time, there was also Li Hao, who had doubts about the law, and he frowned, and his voice was deep.

"I have lived so many years, and I have never heard of such a law!"

"Master Li has only cared about eating salt all these years, and it is normal that he has not heard of it, but it does not mean that there is none. What's more, assassinating the prince is a disrespectful crime, so how can the nine clans be surprised? Could it be that this son of the world can still make up nonsense to deceive you? ”

"You!"

Li Hao choked on the sentence of eating salt, but he really couldn't refute these words.

He looked at Mo Fengchi with a pleading gaze, but the answer obviously disappointed him.

"Beimo really didn't promulgate this law, but the assassination of the royal family is an unforgivable crime, and it is not surprising that the nine clans are connected."

It's not that he's on Gu Xinian's side, it's just that it's true.

No matter how much it is related to the royal family, if he denies it, then it is indirectly saying that the assassination of the royal family is such a big crime?

When Juan'er heard this, she immediately couldn't kneel, and when Li Feifei saw it, she panicked, for fear that she would shake it out.

"The Zhulian Nine Clans have always been the will of His Majesty, and since they are resolved in the mansion at this time, where are the Zhulian Nine Clans? Now that she has admitted that she did it, what is she doing if she disposes of it, what is she doing with so many tongues? ”

Juan'er felt cold at these words that she wished she was disposed of quickly, but she couldn't, if she didn't go down, her mother and brother ......

Rong Ziyan, who had not said a word since entering the door, glanced at the kneeling person on the ground, and then moved his gaze to Li Feifei.

"Miss Li wants to execute her so much, isn't she afraid that she will shake out something?"

"I ...... Why should I be afraid? She did it alone, what does it have to do with me? I just don't want to waste time with people like that anymore! ”

Li Feifei will definitely not admit it, even if it is true.

Rong Ziyan didn't dwell on these anymore, his purpose was just to tell the truth.

"Even if the law is false, and you confess your sin, you won't be able to save your mother."

Hearing this, Juan'er looked up at him, her eyes full of puzzlement.

"Why?"

"Your mother is dead."

The voice was faint, but it made Juan'er's body stiffen.

was also stunned by Li Feifei.

How did he know??

Juan'er's eyes drifted to Li Feifei, and when she saw the surprise and panic on her face, her heart sank a little at the moment.

At the same time, Rong Ziyan's voice came into his ears.

"It's in the firewood room, don't believe you can go and see for yourself."

If she comforted herself that it was Rong Ziyan's deception earlier, she guessed it by mistake, but the location of this sentence completely made Li Feifei unbelievable.

Gu Xinian and they don't have Juan'er's weakness, so no matter what, she won't easily turn back.

Obviously, as long as it takes a while, this matter will be a certainty, but there is a Rong Ziyan who is bad for her!

"Nonsense! How could her mother be in the firewood room of my Li Mansion! We have never had any grudges with Childe, why does Childe slander my Li Mansion so much?! ”

As everyone knows, she is like this, which makes Juan'er more and more suspicious.

At this moment, she didn't care so much, so she immediately got up and ran out of the lobby and went straight to the firewood room.

Rong Ziyan got up, glanced at Li Feifei, didn't answer, raised his feet and followed.

Su Chen and Gu Xinian glanced at each other, both of which were unclear.

If this is true, then the matter is basically over.

"Let go of me! Let me in! I'm going to see my mother! ”

"Go and go, while going, I told you that your mother is not in it!"

"Huh, not there? On weekdays, there is no one in this firewood room, how are you guarding it today? How? Afraid that others will steal firewood? ”

"If you say no, you don't know! The young lady ordered the two of us to guard, and I couldn't enter without an order! ”

Gu Xinian saw such a scene when they came:

Juan'er was stopped by two little girls and didn't let her enter the house, she struggled desperately, but after all, she was a woman, and her strength was finally inferior to a man.

When the little guy saw Li Hao coming, he immediately saluted in a proper manner, but after a while, Juan'er had already pushed the door open.

"Hey!!"

The firewood room was not big or small, it was full of all kinds of dry firewood, and in the open space on the side of the wall was a thin bedding that was a little old and dusty.

There were two people lying on the ground, one large and one small.

The adult is about forty years old, dressed in a linen-colored cloth coat, his hair is dry as grass, messy as a chicken's nest, his eyes are closed, and his eyes are black and sallow, with sunken double clips, and the wrinkles are the precipitation of the years, which is particularly eye-catching.

The little one looked like he was four or five years old, thin and small, with the same sallow complexion, his face was full of bruises and scars, and under the tattered clothes that were hung, he could faintly see the striking wounds.

Juan'er knelt down, stretched out her hand and touched the boy, looking at her mother with tears in her eyes.

"Adon...... A-Niang...... Look at me, I'm Juan'er! ”

"It's cold this night, and you're not in good health, how can you sleep on the ground......

"Mother, I was wrong, I shouldn't have believed it...... Open your eyes and look at Juan'er...... Adon ......"

Juan'er raised her mother's hand and tried to warm herself, but in vain.

At the door, Li Feifei looked at the scene in the house, took half a step back, pulled Ye Chenghuan's sleeve, and looked anxious.

"What should I do? The way she looks now, she will definitely turn back! What should I do if she shakes out?! ”

Although he lowered his voice, because of his eagerness, he still let Mo Fengchi on the side listen.

He tilted his head slightly, his gaze fell on the two of them, and his expression was incomprehensible.

Ye Chenghuan noticed the gaze, was shocked in his heart, and secretly scolded Li Feifei's teammate.

But her face was still not obvious, as if she didn't know, she patted Li Feifei's hand, and her tone was helpless.

"I said it all, you don't have to be angry for me, but you didn't listen, you actually went behind my back......"

Feeling that the line of sight was withdrawn, Ye Chenghuan breathed a sigh of relief.

I almost got miserable by this idiot!

Ye Chenghuan pulled Li Feifei and stepped back a little, she lowered her voice and whispered in a voice that could only be heard by the two of them:

"In this situation, there is no other way. The handmaid identified you, and you were killed by bite, not by you.

It was she who shirked her responsibilities and wanted to borrow money from others to make money and let you take the blame. ”

Li Feifei was about to respond when he heard a sound of footsteps, and turned his head to see that it was someone from the Yamen.

"Why are the people from the Yamen here?"

"You ask me, who do I ask?"

"What then?"

"What to do? Watch and see what happens! It's a big deal that you go to prison first, and I have my own way to get you out. ”

"Jail? How can I go to jail? When I entered, my reputation was ruined! ”

While the two were arguing, the people from the yamen had already arrived.

After Li Hao saluted the other party, he heard the other party ask.

"Who is Li Feifei?"

"I don't know what the official is looking for a little girl?"

"Someone reported the case, King Chen almost assassinated him at the night of the Hundred Flowers Banquet today, and your daughter is the mastermind."

"I didn't! Not me! It's the prince who the servant himself wants, and it has nothing to do with me! ”

Li Hao wanted to say something more, but when he heard Li Feifei's voice being so loud, he wanted to kill this idiot.

"Mother...... It's me who is not good, you wait for me, I will go to you to apologize immediately after I give an explanation. ”

With that, Juan'er put down her mother's hand and got up and knelt in front of Su Chen.

She naturally heard the voice outside, but what she asked for was Su Chen.

"Shizi, I said, I said it all. But I hope that after I finish speaking, the son of the world can heal my brother's wounds and let him live! ”

Su Chen glanced at the person lying on the ground and sighed.

"Nature."

After receiving the answer, Juan'er breathed a sigh of relief, got up again, walked out of the door, and stood in front of the officers and soldiers.

"Official, in this matter, I testify that Li Feifei used my family as a threat to force me to kill someone for her."

The leader glanced at Juan'er and Li Feifei, raised his big hand, and his voice was powerful.

"Take it away!"
