Chapter 317: Temptation
Li Qingyi listened to her inquiry, looked at the painting scroll in his arms and sighed, "You must have also heard about the affairs of the little marquis of Yongping Houfu, right?" ”
Wei Jiao'er's head was like a chicken pecking rice, "I heard that Song Xiaohou was wronged, and the murderer of Lin Ji was his second brother Lin Yi!" ”
"Yes! This Lin Yi not only killed his younger brother, but also asked people to steal Song Xiaohou's short arrow to frame him. And the servant girl Green Peach who he instructed to steal the short arrow was the daughter of Song Xiaohou's nurse, who died in the wolf's mouth when she fled and was bitten beyond recognition. You've probably heard that people become ghosts after death, and they can't be reincarnated without knowing their names or appearances......"
Wei Jiaoer was covered with goosebumps by her, "It seems to be ...... Is there such a saying, what about this portrait? ”
"It's a green peach."
Li Qingyi said a word, and explained: "Although the green peach made a big mistake, but Song Xiaohou has a deep relationship with the nurse, and can't bear her daughter to end up like this, just for the sake of his nurse, he plans to bury her well, and painted a portrait of her to prepare for the burial, but the paper is easy to perish, so the lord of Rongling asked me to help, and found the embroidery girl of Cuijin Building to embroider a picture according to the appearance of the green peach." ”
Wei Jiao'er was surprised, "This is a good way, I didn't expect that Master Song Xiaohou looked at him with a big grin, but his heart was kind." ”
"No, I didn't expect that the county lord of Rongling said that he couldn't bear to let the nurse mother and daughter not recognize each other underground."
Wei Jiao'er sighed again when she heard this.
Wei Lan'er listened to it without speaking, and only then couldn't help but speak, "When did Sister Li and the Lord of Rongling become so close, I remember that before the tea party in the mansion, the Lord of Rongling had never interacted with us. ”
Li Qingyi smiled when he heard this, and did not deliberately look at Wei Lan'er's expression, and replied casually: "After all, the county lord of Rongling is my aunt, and I was unfamiliar in the past because I didn't see each other often, and I will have more contacts in the future." ”
When Wei Laner heard this, his fingers pinching the handkerchief couldn't help but crush together, and the peony flowers embroidered on it were all crumpled.
Chang Yan has been following everyone at the end, carefully watching the expressions and movements of Wei Lan'er and her maidservant, and the girl in her heart really guessed correctly!
A few people went up to the second floor of the Cui Jin Building while talking, and the big shopkeeper saw Li Qingyi coming over to ask her needs in person, Li Qingyi asked: "I don't know if Su Niangzi has been free recently, I have something to trouble her." ”
The big shopkeeper heard that she was looking for Mrs. Su, so he hurriedly called someone over.
Su Xiaoyan bent her knees and said with a smile: "What's the matter with Miss Li calling the slave over?" ”
Li Qingyi asked her with a smile; "Mrs. Su, do you know how to embroider portraits?"
Su Xiaoyan nodded: "I have embroidered portraits, but I also have to see the difficulty of the paintings, and the slave doesn't dare to pack a ticket for the girl." ”
Li Qingyi spread out the scroll, revealing the appearance of a green peach, "This is the one, you can take a look." ”
Not only Su Xiaoyan, but everyone also looked at the portrait when they heard the words.
The others didn't have any special expressions, only Wei Lan'er's maidservant Jin Shu, who first showed a trace of astonishment in her expression, and then gradually condensed doubts and panic.
Although she quickly covered up the past, Chang Yan stood "outside" and could see it clearly.
Wei Jiao'er was the first to speak, "This green peach is also a very beautiful girl, but unfortunately her soul has returned to Huangquan." ”
Su Xiaoyan was a little surprised when she heard this, so Li Qingyi explained to her about the green peach.
Su Xiaoyan said: "It's true that she should get her face back, don't let her be a fool down there, she doesn't even know what she looks like." ”
"If only you weren't afraid." What Li Qingyi said is not a lie, this portrait is embroidered, and it is indeed to be buried with the green peach.
Li Qingyi handed over the portrait to Mrs. Su, and then called the shopkeeper to come over to choose clothes, and did not deliberately pay attention to Wei Lan'er's master and servant from beginning to end.
It wasn't until she left Cuijin Building and returned to the Wei Mansion that she asked Chang Yan, "How is it?" ”
Chang Yan's eyes lit up, "The girl asked the slave and maid to stare at the master and servant of the third girl of Wei San, they are really strange!" Miss Wei heard what you said about the county lord of Rongling, although her face did not change, but the whole person was absent-minded, even the fifth girl Wei was thorny in the open and secret, she didn't pay attention to it. That Jin Shu is even more wrong, since he saw the portrait of the green peach, he has sweated on his forehead from time to time. ”
Li Qingyi was surprised, "It seems that my guess is true nine times out of ten......"
Combined with Jin Shu's uncle who went to inquire about the Yongping Marquis Mansion before, it is not difficult to guess that the man and woman who came into contact with Lan Xin are Jin Shu and his uncle Liu Yong.
This Liu Yong went to the Yongping Marquis Mansion a few days before Song Yang was arrested, and he must have been looking for an opportunity to steal Song Yang's short arrow, and then Lin Wenye knocked on the drum to sue Song Yang, Liu Yong went to the Yongping Marquis Mansion again, and wanted to take the opportunity to give money to kill the "green peach", but when he heard that the green peach ran away, he hurried back to report to Jin Shu, and after Wei Laner learned about it, he asked him to find a way to find the "green peach".
Everyone was also amazed, Changning twisted his two eyebrows and said, "Miss Wei San actually fell in love with Song Xiaohou, and went so roundabout to please the Yongping Marquis Mansion?" ”
"It's really roundabout ......enough," Li Qingyi pondered: "Marquis Yongping, like his father-in-law, King Lian, dislikes dealing with people like Wei Shicheng who are involved in the center of power, and I am afraid that he does not want to marry the Wei Mansion, so Wei Laner will make this decision." ”
"It seems that Miss Wei San likes Song Xiaohou very much, otherwise, she would not have taken this risk. If the Yongping Marquis Mansion knows, she and Song Xiaohou will be completely out of play. ”
"If you don't do this, it's no fun, just give it a try, if it happens, Wei Laner will have the opportunity to marry into the Yongping Hou Mansion, even if someone finds out in the future, the family ugliness must not be publicized, and the Yongping Hou Mansion will not be able to make a public announcement, if Wei Laner has a son and a half daughter, who can still hold her accountable for this matter?"
The girls all nodded.
This deal is still very cost-effective.
"But now that the girl has found out about this, what should she do?"
Li Qingyi didn't have anything to hesitate, "Of course it's to be honest, can I still turn my elbow out?" ”
The county lord of Rongling is her aunt, and she has rebuilt the old friendship with her mother Yuanheng county lord, she is considered her own person, she can't watch her being deceived and not say anything, right?
Besides, Wei Lan'er is so uneasy, and if he marries in the future, he will only have to block the mother-in-law of Rongling County.
Changning sighed, "Lord Rongling has been to the Li family many times before, and I want to ask for you for the little marquis of Song." If this third girl Wei had a heart for Song Xiaohouye, wouldn't she have hated the girl a long time ago? This time, the girl went to expose her shortcomings again, this beam can be bigger! ”
Li Qingyi almost forgot about this, "Can you blame me for this?" Before doing something, a person should know that things have the possibility of failure, and if you can't take such a risk, then don't do it. ”
"Rong Lingjun mainly knows the truth, and she doesn't accept the slightest grievance, shouldn't she hit the door? When the time comes, will Miss Wei San be ashamed and angry, and hit the pillar on the spot or something! ”
Li Qingyi shook his head, "Although Wei Laner is young, he is not a delicate flower that falls down when the wind blows and falls when the rain is drenched, and his consciousness is high." ”
Changning has always spoken upright, "The girl simply said that she is thick-skinned, and she won't be unable to live because of this little thing." ”
Li Qingyi laughed, "That's what I meant." ”
Xiang Lan leaned over and asked, "What will happen to the Yongping Marquis Mansion?" ”
"What else? Although the green peach is not a dispensable maid to the lord of Rongling, in the eyes of outsiders, she is just a girl, can the Yongping Marquis Mansion still let Wei Lan pay for her life for a girl. Even if it is for the sake of Guo Shangshu's face, the Yongping Marquis Mansion will not do anything to Wei Lan'er, but the Guo family will owe Yongping Hou a favor in turn. ”
Seeing that everyone was talking enthusiastically, Chang Yan couldn't help but remind: "This is all an afterthought, today that Jin Shu saw the portrait of the green peach, and must know that the maid who contacted her before was not a green peach, will she go to kill again?" ”
Li Qingyi asked rhetorically: "If it were you, would you go to Lan Xin to kill him?" ”
The long appendix curled the ends of his hair tangled, "If it's a slave, the slave won't go." From the perspective of Miss Wei San, she doesn't know if Lan Xin has been recruited now, if Lan Xin has already been recruited, if she asks people to kill her, she will simply throw herself into the net! If Lan Xin didn't move, then she went to kill Lan Xin, didn't she tell people clearly, and there was another secret in this matter! It's just that with a blue heart, it always makes people feel unsure......"
Li Qingyi spread his hands: "So, I don't know how Wei Lan'er will choose, in short, tell the Yongping Marquis Mansion first, so that they can know in their hearts and make preparations." ”
*****
Tinglan Court.
Wei Lan'er looked at Jin Shu kneeling in front of him, and his willow eyebrows suddenly twisted, "What is a green peach is not a green peach, what green peach is not dead?" ”
Jin Shu's mouth was so unfavorable for the first time, "Slave, slave doesn't know, I don't know what's going on, the green peach I saw before is not the same person as the portrait of Miss Li today!" ”
"How is that possible?"
"The slave and maid don't understand, the green peach is obviously dead, the corpse has been bitten and broken, and the slave's uncle saw the people of Dali Temple carrying the corpse back with his own eyes......"
Jin Shu was puzzled, and she was still numb all over her body!
Wei Lan'er is much smarter than her, "The painting that Li Qingyi is holding was painted by someone from the Yongping Marquis Mansion, it must be a green peach, but you said that the person in the portrait is not the green peach you have seen...... In other words, the person you have met must be an impostor! ”
"Impostor?" Jin Shu always felt that things were weird, and the cold hairs all over her body stood up, "What does the girl mean is that the maid that the slave maid came into contact with is just the name of the green peach that was fraudulently used?" ”
"There's only one possibility." Wei Laner narrowed his eyes and analyzed: "Since the servant girl is pretending to be a green peach, instead of pretending to be someone else, it means that she is not compatible with the green peach on weekdays, so she uses her name to resist the danger for the first time, and the people who can have interests entanglement with the green peach are eighty percent of the people who are the same first-class maidservants as her." ”
Jin Shu suddenly realized, "The slave is going to find out who that person is!" ”
"Wait!"
