Chapter 16: Confession
The carriage on the eldest princess's mansion was returned with the people of the Xie Mansion.
Yu Xijiao was ready, said goodbye to Le's, and got into the carriage of the eldest princess's mansion under Le's reluctant gaze.
Along with the tied up Saizuki.
Gagged and staggered behind the carriage, swaggering through the market with the carriage.
The family affairs of the Marquis of Zhengyuan Mansion became a funeral, the daughter of the Marquis of Zhengyuan, Lan Xuan County, died in the fire, the whole capital was shocked, the fire rushed up, many places have seen it, I heard that the subordinate accidentally led the fire, because to prepare for the daughter's family affairs, Mrs. Zhengyuan Marquis also slept at her daughter's place that night, the mother and daughter slept very late, and they did not get up when the fire started.
So they were buried together in the fire.
In comparison, not many people know about Yu Xijiao's affairs, but they are tied all the way, coupled with Mama Xu's explanations from time to time, many people know another appalling thing, the three girls of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion were assassinated by a maid, and the incident actually happened in the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion.
This incident is as unbelievable as the fire in the Marquis of Zhengyuan's mansion.
Originally, it was just a topic of discussing the fire of the Marquis of Zhengyuan's Mansion, but new events were suddenly injected, which made the trend of the topic inexplicably weird......
The carriage stopped at the eldest princess's mansion.
Yu Xijiao helped Qingyue out of the carriage.
"The slave has seen the three girls." There was already a thin woman about thirty years old waiting, and Yu Xijiao recognized it as Aunt Qin beside her grandmother, who had given her a gift to Jiangnan before.
"Aunt Qin is polite, where is Grandmother?" Yu Xijiao said softly.
"The third girl and the slave maid came over, the eldest princess has been looking forward to it for a long time." Aunt Qin smiled and said, "If you don't come again, the eldest princess will go to the Xuanping Marquis Mansion." ”
"Mother said that the etiquette in the capital, when you come back from afar, you need to bathe and change clothes for a few days before you can see the elders." Yu Xijiao said with a look of shame.
How did she believe this reason at the beginning, but now that she thinks about it, she really just deceived a casual girl.
"Madame has always been polite." Aunt Qin said lukewarmly.
Many people are not to blame, even if the grandmother knows that there is Qian's handwriting here, she can't say that Qian is wrong on the surface, Yu Xijiao sighed lightly and didn't speak again.
Like Aunt Qin, all the meanings are left in the indescribable.
At the door of the flower hall, Princess An and the eldest princess couldn't wait, and anxiously walked out with a few maids and mothers-in-law, and saw Yu Xijiao follow Aunt Qin in, so she stood still.
"Grandmother!" Looking at the kind-looking eldest princess in front of her, Yu Xijiao's nose was sour, and she actually choked up for a while.
stepped forward two steps, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed three times to Ann and the eldest princess.
"Okay, it's okay, there's grandmother here!" An and the eldest princess stretched out her hand to pull Yu Xijiao up, and hugged her into her arms with a distressed face.
"Grandmother...... Granddaughter...... It's late. Facing her grandmother who felt sorry for herself, Yu Xijiao's tears fell, from yesterday to today, there have been too many changes, everything, she has been carrying it herself, even if she sees her mother An's today, she is also very strong, only now.
Tears fell uncontrollably, and she fell into the arms of An and the eldest princess and cried.
She is Yu Lanxuan, she remembers everything about Yu Lanxuan, and she is also Yu Xijiao, and she also has all the memories of Yu Xijiao, and the bits and pieces of the letters written by her grandmother.
In the past life and this life, in this life and in the previous life, she didn't understand why this happened, she only knew that when she saw her grandmother at this time, she was really uncomfortable, just like a child who was wronged and cried in front of her parents, and she couldn't explain the grievances and discomfort.
"Don't cry, don't be afraid, with your grandmother here, no one dares to bully you casually." An and the eldest princess tried their best to soften their voices, patting the thin shoulders of the granddaughter in her arms soothingly, and the eyes of the eldest princess, who had always been strong, involuntarily turned red.
In her grandmother's gentle embrace, Yu Xijiao couldn't cry herself, and it took a long time to stop crying in the dissuasion of everyone.
"Let the Imperial Doctor take a look first." An and the eldest princess were heartbroken and angry, but this would be more important than the granddaughter's injury, the imperial doctor had already invited her, and she was waiting for Yu Xijiao to come over.
After the re-diagnosis and treatment, the doctor prescribed medicine and withdrew.
"This injury was scratched by the dog slave sent by the Qian family?" After the imperial doctor retreated, An and the eldest princess slapped the table and said, I originally thought it was just a small wound, but I didn't expect it to be so deeply injured, and the deep blood marks on her arms made the eldest princess angry and her eyes red, how could the Qian family have such a big dog guts.
"Grandmother, this hurts...... I pierced it myself, but if I hadn't done it then, my reputation would have been ruined now, and I'm afraid that now my grandmother would have heard my filthy reputation. Yu Xijiao smiled bitterly and shook her head.
Grandmother is a businessman, and if she directed and planned things before, if it sounds reasonable to ordinary people, grandmother will definitely not be able to hide it here, so it is better to confess it directly and tell the truth to grandmother.
She believes in grandmother!
This feeling is very mysterious, anyway, Yu Xijiao was so sure as soon as they met, compared to Mrs. Yu of the Marquis of Zhengyuan's Mansion, the eldest princess An and the eldest princess are the real kind, but the one is smiling and not smiling, looking affectionate, in fact, she has never been sincere to Yu Lanxuan, after all, Mrs. Yu is her father's stepmother, and she is not her own granddaughter.
"You...... Did you pierce it yourself? An and the eldest princess were stunned for a moment, remembering the long wound just now, and twitched in distress.
"Grandmother, at that time...... I had to. Yu Xijiao didn't hide it from Princess An and the eldest princess, and told the cause of the incident as it was.
From the way she took care of her after she returned to Beijing, to the fact that she took her to the banquet this time, it was said that it was to make her recognize her relatives, but in the end, she almost ruined her reputation because of Caiyue.
After the matter was finished, An and the eldest princess were furious, and if there was anything she didn't understand, it was clear that the Qian family was harming Yu Xijiao.
"Come on, go and call the Qian family and the Marquis of Xuanping." An and the eldest princess said sharply.
The daughter-in-law is not a good one, and the son is not a good one, so if you want to scold and punish it, you can do it together.
"Grandmother, father and mother came over, I ...... What shall I say? Yu Xijiao wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, in front of the eldest princess An He, she was just a weak granddaughter, and her originally stiff shoulders relaxed.
She also wants someone to protect her, but unfortunately in the last life, her father died early, her mother was too gentle, and her younger brother was too young, she had to stand up and shoulder everything, and now there is a grandmother, so that she finally has a feeling of relief, she actually has someone to rely on, and someone to protect her.
"Naturally, he will be punished for the crime of assassination." An and the eldest princess understood what she was talking about, and said coldly.
It doesn't matter what the truth is, this kind of thing related to the honor should indeed be covered up with something more powerful, the assassination is very good, the granddaughter's reputation is as big as the sky, with the assassination, everything else is a trivial matter.
At this point, Ann and the eldest princess thought the same as Yu Xijiao.
Anyway, that dog slave and the Qian family are not clean in the first place, so this matter is not pushed on them!
"Grandmother, you don't have to ask for your father and mother, they should be coming soon...... I'm afraid that the matter of the Marquis Mansion will also have something to do with us, and this matter will definitely happen to their mansion. Yu Xijiao reminded.
"If you pull it, you will pull it, afraid that they will do something? Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion is still the name of the past! An and the eldest princess snorted coldly, if this matter had nothing to do with the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion, she would not believe it, and this would also anger the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion.
"Grandmother, this must be done...... Not really! If the girl named Caiyue doesn't admit her guilt and says something bad in public, that's good? Yu Xijiao bit her lip gently, her face became more and more pale, her long eyelashes fluttered, like a tired butterfly falling weakly on the eye, inexplicably making people feel her powerlessness.
Since the assassination was pushed to Qian's body, she must also be convinced, and Caiyue's confession is important.
An and the eldest princess were distressed: "What is a maid ring, just let her change her words." ”
"Grandmother, this ...... Really? Yu Xijiao's eyes lit up and she raised her head excitedly.
"It's just a dog minion, what's so difficult to do, this matter...... I'll let people do it. Looking at such a granddaughter, An and the eldest princess softened their hearts and took care of the matter as soon as they opened their mouths.
"Grandmother, let me do it, it's my business in the first place, and I'll grow up after all." Yu Xijiao's eyes were soft and firm.
Caiyue, a slave, is the key to her past and present lives, and since it falls into her own hands, how can she let her slip through her hands in vain......
