Chapter 956: Questioning the Past
Yuan Yifan took a deep breath, and when the words came to his mouth, he took another sip of tea fiercely, so that he could continue.
"It's me, it's me who pretended to be Li Qi, and I sent Miss Xi'er to the Li family!
I was all at the request of Miss Xi'er, as well as Li Qi's deathbed will. ”
As soon as Yuan Yifan said this, Mrs. Ji, Ji Youyuan, and Ji Youzhi's eyes were like knives, brushing his body.
"Why did my sister do this?
What is Li Qi's dying will? ”
Ji Youzhi's aura at this time completely changed, and what he asked Li Qi was like interrogating a prisoner.
Yuan Yifan couldn't resist his tone and aura at all, so he said everything in one go.
"Truth be told, what Miss Ciel told us before was that she had no father, and that her brother and brother were all at home.
Except for Li Qi, who saved her life, she has no one to rely on in her life! ”
"I'm ......" Old Madam Ji squirmed her lips, and scolded Ji Yan's bastard countless times in her heart.
Ji Di, who was far away in another world, sneezed fiercely.
The young scholar who was following him gave him a faint look, "You're sick!" ”
Ji Yan glanced at him, "You're sick, hey!" Doesn't you care if I'm sick or not?
Hurry up, hurry up and find the weak point of space, if you find the place where the spatial crack is most likely to occur in the Xuantian Continent and the Tianling Continent, I will accept you as a closed disciple and pass on to you what I have learned all my life! ”
The scholar shook his head when he heard this, "I'm not interested in what you've learned all your life. ”
"Why not be interested?
You are a good material for spiritual practice, you know?
Your talent is the best I've ever seen, and of course you're not as good as my granddaughter, I'll tell you......"
"You promised your granddaughter the Xuanwu spirit and bones, you haven't gotten them yet, are you sure you have to find the weak point of the space now and force it over?
Believe it or not, you'll be beaten by her if you go? ”
"I'm his grandfather, and she dares to beat me? Doesn't Heaven allow you not to know? ”
When the scholar heard the word Heavenly Dao, he suddenly bowed his head in silence and made a contemplative gesture.
Seeing this, Ji Yan said, "Why are you in a daze?"
Strange, why do you look like this every time I mention my precious granddaughter?
My granddaughter has a grudge against you?
It's not right, you haven't seen my granddaughter, how can you have an enmity with her? ”
The scholar shook his head and stretched out his hand to cover his head, "I don't know, I always feel that I will be entangled with her." ”
"Huh?"
Ji Yan's eyes widened, "You ......"
"Heavenly Dao is nothing, she ...... She can fight the way of heaven. ”
"Huh?" Ji Yan's eyes widened again, his brain buzzing, and he felt that this nerd was even more stunned than when he first picked it up.
No!
It should be said that he is stupid, talking nonsense and nonsense all day long!
……
On Mrs. Ji's side, Yuan Yifan continued to talk about Ji Xi'er.
"We all thought that Miss Xi'er was really a homeless person, and Li Qi was naturally no exception, he took out all his money and handed it to me, entrusting me to take good care of her in the future, saying that no matter whether Miss Xi'er gave birth to a boy or a girl, he hoped that the child would be able to replace him with filial piety when he grew up.
He said that the most sorry thing in his life is Miss Xi'er and her children, followed by his parents, as a son, he has never done filial piety by their side since he was a child, and because of the knot in his heart when he was a child, he has not returned home for more than ten years. ”
"So that's why Xi'er returned to Baiyun Town, and also went to the Li family instead of the Ji family?"
Mrs. Ji wiped her tears with a handkerchief and asked.
Yuan Yifan nodded.
"That's right, after Li Qi died, Miss Xi'er was very calm, and she buried Li Qi at the foot of Yingyue Mountain, not far from the place where they lived in seclusion.
I always go to Li Qi's grave every day to talk to him.
But gradually, she got older and older, often fell asleep, and once slept for a whole day and a night, it was my little sister who found out that something was wrong when she went to see her, and wanted to ask her for a doctor, she refused, and found me to go, and told me that she wanted to fulfill Li Qi's last wish! ”
"Li Qi's last wish is to let their children replace him to fulfill their filial piety to Mrs. Li and his wife?"
Ji Youyuan asked.
Yuan Yifan nodded, "Yes!" ”
Old Madam Ji began to cough, but it didn't take long for her to stabilize, "You keep talking!" ”
"I went to see Miss Ciel, who was already very thin and pregnant, so I asked her: My brother and sister are looking for me to help prepare what she needs to give birth next?
She shook her head, took out a box and said to me: I invited Brother Yuan to come, I want to ask you for a favor, I am about to leave for home, I will go to fulfill his last wish for Li Qi, please go to his house with me to perform a play, let me stay in the Li family, give birth to the child safely, let the child grow up in the Li family, and he will be filial to his father in the future. ”
"Silly boy! If she could have known everything that happened to us later in the past, I wonder if she would have chosen to return to the Li family? ”
Old Madam Ji suddenly couldn't help crying.
Yuan Yifan saw Mrs. Ji like this, and her words came to an end, so he quickly finished the rest of the words.
"I and the brothers of the dart bureau escorted Miss Xi'er all the way back, I was afraid that she would have any accidents halfway, and I also invited Lang Zhong, who had detoxified Li Qi, to follow all the way back to Xun'an County, I brought the human skin mask that Miss Xi'er had prepared before, and brought the fifty taels of silver left by Li Qi, as well as the fifty taels made up by the brothers, a total of one hundred taels, and sent Miss Xi'er to Li's house.
At first, the Li family was lukewarm to Miss Xi'er, and even gave me and Miss Xi'er a look on their faces.
also said that they were not involved in the marriage between Miss Xi'er and Li Qi, not counting, in short, they just wanted to drive Miss Xi'er away.
When I saw this, I couldn't help but worry about Miss Ciel and the child in her womb.
So I wanted to take her away, but she was unwilling, so I directly blocked Mrs. Li's mouth with silver.
Sure enough, when Mrs. Li saw the one hundred taels of silver I took out, she smiled from ear to ear, and grabbed Miss Xi'er's hand all day long, which was very rare, saying that she would treat her as a daughter.
Seeing this change, Miss Cier implemented a second plan, asking me to leave in the name of signing up for the army, and according to the plan, find someone to send some money and funeral reports to Li's house at about the same time.
That way everything will be taken care of. ”
"I see, Xi'er did this seamlessly, but it's a pity that she went too early."
After Ji Youyuan heard all this, he had to admire this sister of his.
Ji Youzhi has something to say.
He asked Yuan Yifan.
"If I'm not mistaken, before my sister went to the Li family, she should have only formulated the illusion that you would send her to the Li family with Li Qi's identity, and then you went to join the army and had no news, and there was no matter of passing on the injury report and sending the pension money, right?"
Yuan Yifan couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard this, and looked at Ji Youzhi with admiration, "It's really worthy of Ji Shenzhu, this makes you guess, that's right, before Miss Xi'er arrived at the Li family, she really didn't want to break the fact that Li Qi was dead." ”
Ji Youzhi frowned, "Then why did she change her plan later." ”
"I don't know very well, because I am not the real Li Qi, so when I arrived at the Li family, I tried to avoid contact with others, Miss Xi'er is different, she used various reasons to chat with the Li family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law all day long, and asked me to prepare some things, she chatted with those big girls and little daughters-in-law under the big willow tree in the east of the village for a whole day, and when she came back in the evening, her face was not right, I asked her, and she didn't say.
The next day, she made a plan for Li Qi to join the army and die in battle, and also gave me a gold bracelet, asking me to use it as some silver taels, and when the time comes, it will be used as a pension silver, and find someone to send it back with the funeral report.
I didn't ask for the golden hairpin, let her take it and leave, and I don't know what happened next. ”
After Yuan Yifan finished saying this, the whole person couldn't sit still, and the sweat behind him wet his underwear.
"Old lady, two sons, I don't know if the villain can leave?"
Old Madam Ji waved her hand, "Strong man, please go out by yourself, there is a maid at the gate of the courtyard to guide you to Steward Liu!" ”
Yuan Yifan hurriedly nodded "yes"! Then he walked away and took his leave.
As soon as Yuan Yifan left, Mrs. Ji couldn't hold back crying anymore.
"Mother! Don't be sad, Xi'er can be regarded as seeking benevolence, not to mention anything else, although Li Qi is short of breath, he is also a hero, such a person is worthy of being the son-in-law of our Ji family except for his family birth. ”
"Boss, Seven, go back first! Let the mother slowly! ”
Old Madam Ji got up and walked towards the inner room.
"Mother! You...... Why don't you call the third and second sisters-in-law to accompany you? ”
Old Madam Ji ignored them, and had already returned to the inner room, sitting in front of the dressing mirror and coughing lowly.
"Big brother! Mother, this ......"
Ji Youzhi looked indoors with some concern.
Ji Youyuan shook his head and motioned for him to go out with himself first.
"Big brother, mother, mother...... Why do I feel like my mother's body doesn't look good? ”
Ji Youyuan was stunned when he heard this.
Then he looked sideways at him for a while before asking, "Do you have any big cases to handle recently?" ”
Ji Youzhi said, "There are no major cases in Beijing, but there are too many people involved in the Li family's case before, Your Majesty has to consider some officials as appropriate, and also investigate some people who have not been in office for many years."
See who can use it and who can't use it, in addition to the information of the eighth child's secret check, I have to investigate it again, so I've been very busy lately! ”
Ji Youyuan nodded when he heard this, and asked again, "Do you need to go out of Beijing?" Not in Beijing for a long time? ”
"Some people need to go out of Beijing to investigate, and some people don't, after all, His Majesty decided to use Hanmen scholars this time, so most people want to investigate the root cause, and they have to go to their local household registration to investigate."
When Ji Youyuan heard this, he said: "If you can let others go to Beijing on an errand out of Beijing, let others go as much as possible!"
During this time, try to stay in Beijing and don't go out of Beijing! ”
Ji Youzhi's eyes widened in disbelief when he heard this, and he looked at Ji Youyuan fixedly.
"Big ...... Big brother, what do you mean? ”
Ji Youzhi's eyes inexplicably showed a look of horror.
Even the breathing couldn't help but be a little heavier.
Ji Youyuan took the lead in walking to the back garden, and there were already a lot of flowers in the garden at this time.
Ji Youyuan sat directly on the stone pier.
He took out a jug of wine and two glasses from his sleeve.
He poured Ji Youzhi and himself a glass of wine.
"I ...... I'm going to go to the Divine Capture Station to deal with things later, so I won't drink. ”
Ji Youyuan ignored him, picked up a glass of wine, raised his head and drank it.
"Old Seven, do you know why my mother likes Sui Sui so much?"
Ji Youzhi chuckled lightly when he heard this, and said, "Sui Sui is so likeable, isn't it normal for my mother to like her?"
Don't you like her, big brother? ”
Ji Youyuan smiled lightly when he heard this.
"Then have you ever thought about why her mother didn't bring her back after Xi'er died, but kept her in the Li family?"
Ji Youzhi said when he heard this.
"Big brother, I have two ways to answer this question, which one do you want to hear?"
Ji Youyuan said, "You can talk about both." ”
Ji Youzhi thought about it and said.
"The first is the attitude of normal people towards their grandchildren.
People say that the daughter who marries out spills the water.
Back then, the fifth sister and Li Qi got married for no reason, and our Ji family didn't know that she got married, if it weren't for Yuan Yifan talking about the past break between them today, we wouldn't know what kind of person Li Qi was, wouldn't we? ”
Ji Youyuan nodded and motioned for him to continue.
Ji Youzhi continued.
"Another is, my mother must be angry, and a few years ago, we didn't have any ability at all, I calculated the time, when the fifth sister became her own son, I and the eighth child in Beijing have not completely spread the news network, you happen to be in southern Xinjiang when you broke your leg, the third brother is the best, his business has been done in the north and south of the river, but he is also busy, I didn't think that the fifth sister would be so bold, don't you say?"
Ji Youyuan glared at him fiercely, "Can you say something useful?" I'm talking about mother, why didn't she think about taking Sui Sui to the Ji family?
If it weren't for Sui Sui's ability to ask for help in the dream space, wouldn't that mean that Sui Sui died last year? ”
Ji Youzhi touched his nose when he heard this, and took a sip of the wine glass on the stone table.
Then he said, "That's inevitable!" ”
"Then in your opinion, my mother is such a hard-hearted person?
Didn't think about the future of the years? ”
Ji Youzhi was silent when he heard this, and directly took Ji Youyuan's wine jug, poured himself a glass, and drank it all in one gulp before he said.
"Big brother, then I'll tell the truth!
At the beginning, I knew that Sui Sui was almost beaten to death, and when Mrs. Li was about to bury her alive, I also questioned myself, why I never thought about going home after handling the case all these years, if I had known Sui Sui's situation earlier, maybe things would not be like this.
Sometimes I also think about asking my mother, over the years, he and his three sisters-in-law are so close to the Li family, they must have known how the Li family treats Sui Sui, why can't they go to see Sui Sui more, or take her to the Ji family to live, so will all this be different? ”
