Chapter 142: Use your life to exchange ten years of peace in Jiangnan
Pei Daozhu comforted: "Xu is about to get married, Sister Xie is anxious, so she will have many thoughts in her sleep." The Lu family is a family of great kindness, and Sister Xie will not be wronged if she marries it. ”
"The House of Great Kindness ......"
Xie Nanjin suddenly chuckled.
She raised her eyes and stared at Pei Daozhu seriously: "The major families are entrenched in the court to carve up the power, and even the imperial power has been reduced to the second class. With the same disregard for the power of the monarch, how can good and evil be distinguished? You and I are all children of a family, and we indulge in vocal music, and one meal can even cover the expenses of ordinary people for a year. You and I enjoy the wealth we have looted, but we blame the court for being in a safe corner and stealing our lives, are you and I good or evil? ”
The sharp words made Pei Daozhu speechless.
Xie Nanjin retracted his gaze and rubbed the corners of his forehead tiredly.
She whispered: "Jiankang is not the Jiankang you see, and the family is not the black and white family in your eyes...... Ananda, maybe all of us owe Princess Jian'an a favor. ”
Pei Daozhu reminded: "Sister Xie, there is no such thing as Princess Jian'an in the world. ”
The wind of early summer came through the window.
Xie Nanjin's crimson skirt robe fluttered, and she stared at the pot of peonies in the corner, as if she was looking at a person.
She whispered: "In the depths of the garden of the house, there is a small ancestral hall, which is dedicated to Princess Jian'an. When I was a child, I witnessed my mother worship her...... At that time, I was young and ignorant, and when I dreamed back at midnight these days, I suddenly remembered what my mother said in the ancestral hall on a summer afternoon that year. 'I'm sorry, we used your life to exchange Jiangnan for ten years of peace, I'm sorry'......"
Xu is extremely tired and sleepy.
After saying these words inexplicably, Xie Nanjin fainted weakly and fell to the ground.
Pei Daozhu hurriedly called the maid and carried Xie Nanjin back to the bed.
Several female doctors rushed in and eagerly saw Xie Nanjin.
Pei Daozhu stepped out of the boudoir and stood alone under the eaves.
The eyes are full of peonies.
It is lively and lively, like the brightest smiling faces of girls.
The wind was blowing in and it was sweltering.
It was obviously summer, but Pei Daozhu inexplicably noticed a hint of coldness.
……
The Xie family did not snub Pei Daozhu because she was a concubine.
Mrs. Xie loved her and specially invited her to the main hall for dinner: "Jin'er can't keep up her spirits these days, it's really good for you to accompany her." ”
Pei Daozhu said with a smile: "Sister Xie is not only good-looking, but she has also traveled abroad to see a lot of knowledge over the years, which is completely different from other girls. I benefited a lot from being with her, and I took advantage of her. ”
She speaks very likably to the elders.
Mrs. Xie smiled, and the atmosphere was very light.
After dinner, the maid came to report that although Xie Nanjin was still fainting, his body was fine, and he would just recuperate for a while.
Pei Daozhu cleaned his hands in the copper basin brought by the maid, as if he had no intention of mentioning it: "Sister Xie is sick and confused, and she always says how Princess Jian'an is." I told her that there was no such thing as Princess Jian'an in the palace, and she was still arguing with me. He also said that there was an ancestral hall hidden in the garden, and it was Princess Jian'an who was enshrined. ”
After she finished speaking, she wiped her hands with a silk handkerchief and looked at the Xie family inadvertently.
Master Xie is not here.
Mrs. Xie was eating tea, her eyelashes were drooping, and she couldn't see the emotion in her eyes.
Xie Lin poured the tea attentively, and diligently sent the tea cup to her: "Sister Pei can relieve your tiredness by drinking a cup of tea." ”
The hall was silent for a moment.
Mrs. Xie raised her head and said with a smile: "Jin'er, that kid, has liked to think wildly since he was a child. She has a maverick temperament, has no friends of the same age in Jiankang, and is lonely in the boudoir after being sick for a long time, so she fantasizes about the so-called Princess Jian'an. ”
Pei Daozhu nodded: "I think so too." Don't worry, I'll be with her. ”
When I came out of the hall, it was already dark.
Xie Lin personally sent Pei Daozhu to Xie Nanjin's residence, and said worriedly: "I don't know what happened to my sister, it's strange to be worried." What Princess Jian'an, Sister Pei, do you think my sister has paranoia? ”
Ahead is Xie Fu Garden.
Marriage is imminent, the garden is also hung with a red lantern, the cage light casts light and shadow on the grass and trees, the peony is bright and dark in the daytime, like a miserable ghost flower charm, occasionally fireflies fly through the grass, it is even more dreamlike.
Pei Daozhu suddenly stopped.
She stared at those peonies and whispered, "I think what Sister Xie said is the truth." There is a princess Jian'an in the world, and there is also an ancestral hall hidden in the depths of your garden. ”
Xie Lin laughed: "Sister Pei, have you been infected by my sister?!" How did you become chattering? I grew up in this mansion since I was a child, and I haven't been to where I climbed trees and went into the water, if there is really an ancestral hall, I don't know?! ”
Pei Daozhu looked at him: "I tested your aunt during the banquet, didn't you hear it?" I only said a princess Jian'an, and your aunt defaulted to the same age as your sister. This means that your aunt knows the existence of Princess Jian'an. ”
And that's not all.
After she mentioned Princess Jian'an, although Mrs. Xie's expression remained unchanged, the fingers holding the cup quietly tightened and reddened.
Even her conversation was unnaturally delayed for a moment.
All this evidence shows that Mrs. Xie is racking her brains to make excuses.
It's just that she doesn't know for the time being, why Mrs. Xie wants to hide the existence of Princess Jian'an, as if the other party is a taboo that must never be mentioned.
Is it the elder of another family......
Do you know this princess?
Xie Lin's smile froze on his face.
"!"
He scolded and looked around nervously: "When you say this, how do I feel that my family's forest garden has become gloomy?" ”
He knows that his sister Pei has always been very good at grasping details.
Now that she had laid out the evidence she had caught, he believed it.
Pei Daozhu stretched out his hand and broke off a peony.
It is just a snow-white jade floor dotted with emerald, the petals are layered on top of each other, but after nightfall, the edge of the petals appears withered and yellow, and it is no longer bright and moving in the daytime.
She played, and the snow-white petals gradually overlapped with the white camellia in her mind.
The girl's face couldn't help but turn slightly white.
She reminded: "Do you remember Cui Lingren and Xue Xiaoman? and Zheng Fei. ”
Among the ten great families of the Southern Dynasty, the daughters of three families died.
Even she was nearly killed in that Wilderness Flower Temple.
And after each girl died, there was a white camellia beside her.
Now, Xie Nanjin is also on the verge of an accident......
She always felt that there was something involved.
It's just that this time the difference is that Xie Nanjin also involved the princess Jian'an.
Xie Lin's expression was solemn, and he even shuddered: "What do you mean...... The murderer behind the serial murder case is now eyeing my sister? My sister...... Will it be killed too? ”
Pei Daozhu thought for a while and proposed, "Let's go find that ancestral hall, shall we?" I always feel that Princess Jian'an is an important clue. ”
It was about his sister's life, Xie Lin nodded without hesitation.
The two of them went deeper into the garden.
A dark shadow crept up behind them, watching them fade away.

Good night
