Chapter 158: Forbearance

Mrs. Li looked at the woman's eyebrows and eyes on the picture scroll carefully, and she was shocked when she touched the same thing as Hongzhu.

Hong Zhu is obviously dead, but that day, Grandma Sun took someone to Jingzhao Mansion to verify her identity, and there will be no fraud in this! So who can be the person in this painting?

"Daddy, what is this portrait?"

Li Sheng was silent for a moment and said:

"Jingzhao Mansion caught a thief selling Ying'er jewelry today......"

According to his confession, he stole the jewelry from a woman...... According to his confession, the painter described the portrait in the same shape as the red vermilion, so he sent it to me......"

Mrs. Li was slightly heartbroken.

When Hongzhu entered the palace, he claimed to be an orphan, when Shinto was rampant, Shengjing was in chaos, but there was no if the thief's words were true, the appearance of the woman in the painting was so similar to Hongzhu, most of them were blood relatives with Hongzhu.

If Hongzhu is a Shinto person, what about this woman? Why did she kill an inconspicuous fire-burning girl in her courtyard?

"Kill people?"

Mrs. Li frowned slightly, there was only this possibility at the moment.

"My father asked someone to check the details of the people in the house before...... This Ying'er should be reliable, how did he cause death for no reason? ”

Li Sheng picked out an ink block from the bookshelf, habitually rubbed it on both ends with his fingertips, and then raised his eyes and said:

"Although the bottom is clean, I am afraid of ...... It's not gratuitous......"

Mrs. Li held the scroll and couldn't help but exclaim:

"What did Daddy say about that? Didn't you find a clue today? ”

Li Shengdao:

"Although I didn't find any footprints in your yard last night, at noon the guards found two wooden planks next to the firewood pile outside your kitchen, one side was wet and muddy, and the other side was dry and smooth, and the mud marks the size of a woman's shoe print were faintly visible......

"Most of the figures in your courtyard last night were Ying'er...... Xu didn't expect you to notice it immediately, and in a panic, he threw the wooden board tied to the sole of his shoe in the firewood pile to cover up. ”

"Taking advantage of the chaos in your courtyard, you went out to report the news in the pile of maids, but in fact, you hid in the shadows, looking for an opportunity to sneak out of the house......"

Mrs. Li couldn't help but take a breath, this thing turned around, as if she had returned to the starting point.

Why did Ying'er pretend to be a ghost to harm her? Who is she instructed to do?

How did a little girl who didn't know martial arts escape from King Rui's Mansion and died in the back alley of Xinghua Street?

Mrs. Li had too many questions in her mind for a while, and she didn't know how to solve them.

Li Sheng saw the anxiety on her face, and couldn't help but feel relieved:

"Last night's incident happened suddenly, don't be anxious. I have asked the housekeeper to screen the people who have entered and exited the house since yesterday to see if there are any omissions......"

"The matter involves Shinto, so I ordered someone to hand over the portrait rubbing to the Gyeonggi camp, and a notice was posted in the city to search for the person in the portrait, as long as this person is still in the capital, he can always show his feet......"

Mrs. Li bowed slightly, still uneasy in her heart.

Although she was alerted to this incident and accidentally disturbed the situation of the people hiding in the shadows, she still knew nothing about the schemes of the people behind her, and this sense of panic of being fooled made her heart burst out with anger.

It was late at night, the lights in Li Xiang's study were not extinguished, and the father and daughter talked for a long time......

In Taiwei Pan's house, at this time, people are making trouble.

Second Miss Pan was angry today, and vented all the grievances and unwillingness of these days!

Several loud slaps slapped Pan Yulan's delicate porcelain white face one after another, and she was immediately red and swollen.

Pan Yumei still felt puzzled, raised her hand and raised the tea cup on the table, and was about to smash Pan Yulan who was kneeling in front of her, but asked the nurse to stop her quickly.

Mrs. Pan came over from the eldest prince of Pan, and she was also startled when she saw this, and hurriedly asked someone to take Pan Yulan down first. Only then did he step forward and hold Pan Yumei in his arms, wiping his tears and saying:

"My heart...... What's wrong with you? She's your sister after all, how can this be made! If your father knows, he doesn't know how to punish you......"

Pan Yumei is an old girl who was conceived by Mrs. Pan at the age of forty, and her baby is like eyeballs, except for the eldest son in the house, this second girl Pan is the most expensive.

Pan Yumei's eyes were burning red, and she wanted to step forward and slap Pan Yulan a few more times, but because Mrs. Pan stopped her, she couldn't find a chance to start, so she was so angry that she stomped her feet!

The maidservants hurriedly put Pan Yulan, who was crying with pear blossoms and rain, out, for fear that they would ask the second girl Pan to chase her out and beat her if they were slow down......

"Pan Yulan, this cheap billet!"

Pan Yumei gritted her teeth with hatred and scolded at Pan Yulan's back,

"In front of outsiders, you don't have the same heart as me! Shengsheng didn't say anything about my jokes, and went to meet Li Taiwei with a shy face! ”

"Mother! You say! …… Where am I inferior to Li Taiwei's slut! Why did she dare to climb on my head and go wild? ”

"Obviously, my father and Li Xiang are of equal rank, but my eldest brother didn't dare to help me get out when he saw that I was angry! Mother...... Then Li Taiwei dared to bully me like this......"

The more Pan Yumei spoke, the more aggrieved she became, tears rolled down her face, and she hugged Mrs. Pan's waist and cried.

Mrs. Pan is distressed, but the political situation, where can she, a woman in the house, say clearly?

Li Xiang is full of talent, he is the most favored minister in front of His Majesty, and he has the support of Princess Showa's family, where is their Pan family easily compared?

Seeing that her mother's eyes showed a sense of tranquility, Pan Yumei said dissatisfied:

"Mother! That can't be said today! Then Li Taiwei just bullied me...... The eldest brother's horse was suddenly frightened, it must have been her and Lu Xiao secretly making trouble! ”

"Obviously it was good before, how could the horse suddenly go crazy? I don't believe it anyway! What such a coincidence! ”

When Mrs. Pan heard this, her face sank.

Pan Yuming suddenly startled the horse, and the guards chased him until Chong'anmen before he narrowly stopped......

Her eldest son has been timid since he was a child, and his equestrian skills can only be regarded as reluctant, so he was frightened along the way, and the eldest son of the Pan family lost a lot of face, and Mrs. Pan's heart hurt when she thought about it......

The doctor just took a look, fortunately it only scratched some flesh and skin, not the bones, I thought it was just an accident, but as soon as I heard Pan Yumei's words, Mrs. Pan's heart was frosty!

What reputation does Lu Xiao have in Beijing, can she not know? If the horse of the great man is really his black hand......

Mrs. Pan's brows furrowed.

first rejected Sister Mei'er's marriage, and then teased her son!

Mrs. Pan stroked Pan Yumei's hand and said with a cold expression:

"Mother will make the decision for you in this matter, and you will stop, don't let your father catch you for your mistakes again......"

Pan Yumei got her mother's words, so she was willing to give up......

In Pan Fulan's Heart Garden, Aunt Wu cried and red-eyed, and twisted a cold water handkerchief to apply Pan Yulan's face.

The little maid knocked on the door and came in, saluted perfunctorily, and said:

"Madame called the slave maid to come and say to the three girls, next month His Majesty hunted in the paddock, Madame will take the three girls with her, these days let the girl stay in the boudoir with peace of mind, no need to go out, and concentrate on learning the rules is ......"

Pan Yulan, whose eyes were condensed like frost, suddenly had a layer of water vapor under her eyes, and she knelt down towards the comer:

"Sister Lao thanked my mother for me......"
