Chapter 15: A Bizarre Background
In the past few days, Yingzhen's mood has been very low, why? Maybe it's really like that woman said, I'm a lonely person now, and I don't have anyone around me who cares about me, maybe I'll really die alone. At this time, Ying Zhen suddenly remembered that the iron box had not been opened yet, what was inside?
Ying Zhen took out the box, got a wire casually, clicked, the lock opened, and sure enough, the ancient lock was much easier to open than the modern one. After opening it, Ying Zhen was attracted by the things inside, there were two letters, some coins, and a series of villains made of willow branches that he brought, Ying Zhen opened the first letter first:
'Therefore, I don't know if you can see this letter, but if you see it, it will be my suicide note, I must tell you, you can no longer stay in this Xu Mansion, although there is glory and wealth here, but it is all an illusion, once a person told me that the entire Xu Mansion will decline in less than twenty years, and the black smoke and miasma of the entire Xu Mansion will bring them a catastrophe, go, here is the coil I prepared for you in my lifetime, I expected that there would be such a day, do you remember the egg in your bag, I don't know what it is, but it will play an important role, and these little people made of bamboo willow, I can tell you now, one of them is a promise given to me by your father, he has lost me, what can I do, but I have burdened you, I am not willing to let him go like this, I regret knowing him, I have spent my life on him in vain, my prophecy tells me that you have experienced much more love than me, and you don't know if the phoenix life that is rare in a thousand years will be fulfilled, This makes me very worried about you, the future I predicted about you is just a prototype, the prophecy does not represent everything, your future may also be variable, I am out of Lingyun Gate, I hope you can also go there to cultivate, there can protect you. Before you go, help me hand over these little people to that bad guy, this is my punishment for him. If that misunderstanding had been solved sooner, the result of me and Yoi might not have been like this......
The handwriting on the back is not clear, it seems that this letter was written by her mother before she died, and Ying Zhen was stunned after reading it: Xu Mansion will decline, what kind of prophecy will my mother have, and the love I experienced will be more bumpy than my mother? What else is the fate of the phoenix? Who is Yoi, Yoi? It sounds like a person's name, but that man's name is Xu Feng, who is that night? Also, my mother turned out to be a cultivator and a warlock? What is the misunderstanding? Will the whining egg you start to find still play an important role? Oops, what's on the other letter? Ying Zhen picked up the letter, there was a lot of dust on the letter, and the handwriting was very old, it seemed that it was written a long time ago.
Ying Zhen didn't think so, after all, no matter how unexpected it was, it was impossible for her to feel 'surprised' by the letter just now, but as soon as she opened the letter and read it, Ying Zhen regretted what she had just thought, the letter was very long, and it turned out to be about Xiaozhu, in short, what was written in the letter was Xiaozhu's life experience, it turned out that Xiaozhu was not the maid of Xufu, but her half-sister! Mother said in the letter, the lord drank too much wine one night, and had a relationship with one of his dowry maids, she is Xu Youzhi's wet nurse, and the relationship with her mother is very good, since then, she found out that she was pregnant, she said that she was unwilling to betray her mother, want to die, finally her mother persuaded her to let go, but this matter somehow reached the ears of the eldest lady, the eldest lady wanted her to die, fortunately the eldest lady did not know about Xiaozhu, so Xiaozhu's mother was poisoned by the eldest lady, before she died, She handed Xiaozhu to her mother, but because her mother didn't want Xiaozhu to be harmed by the eldest lady, she brought Xiaozhu into the house in the name of a maid to take care of herself.
After reading these two letters, Ying Zhen felt that her brain was about to be overwhelmed, damn, this amount of information is too much, such a bloody plot actually happened around her. No, I'm still going to tell Xiaozhu about this and let her make her own decisions, speaking of Xiaozhu, where did she go? It's evening now, and I haven't seen her all day today.
"Someone, there are assassins, and there are assassins who want to assassinate the master." A scream broke the silence, Ying Zhen felt very strange, there is a Xu Mansion, how could the assassin come in casually, could it be someone in the Xu Mansion, could it be - Xiaozhu! Ying Zhen didn't dare to think about it anymore, she quickly ran to the crowded place. Walking through those maids, what she saw was: a masked girl in black night clothes lying on the floor of Xu Feng's study, blood gushing from her heart, and Xu Feng was holding a bloody knife, very gloomy, she was injured. Ying Zhen knew with his toes that this was an assassination attempt, but was injured by Xu Feng? After that, Xu Feng ripped off her veil, and Ying Zhen clearly saw that she was Xiaozhu. After seeing Xiaozhu's face clearly, Xu Feng said to Xiaozhu: "I seem to have seen you somewhere, and said, who sent you!" ”
"Ah, master, isn't this the maid by Yuzhi's side? But he must not want to hurt the master, right? The eldest lady spoke, others may think that the eldest lady is exonerating the eighth lady of the waste firewood, but Ying Zhen, who was mixed in the crowd, heard this clearly, this yin is framing her, the eldest lady really does not let go of any opportunity to make herself suffer, no wonder, no wonder, even Xiaozhu was deceived by her face at the beginning, if she hadn't targeted herself from the beginning, maybe she would have been fooled by her hypocritical face.
"Why not, I see, it's a good thing that this evil girl did, I'm afraid she has already moved the idea of harming me, and today she finally did it." Xu Fengyin was resolute, Ying Zhen was not too surprised by this sentence, she knew that her image could not be saved in the heart of the 'father' in front of her, and she didn't want to save it.
After hearing this, Xiaozhu who was lying on the ground said, "No, it's not Miss, it's me, my own idea, don't wronged Miss ......" This sentence was intermittent, and after finishing speaking, Xiaozhu fainted. Ying Zhen can't manage so much now, if she has been hiding in this crowd, then Xiaozhu is very likely to die inside, she can't watch Xiaozhu die, so she rushed into the study and checked Xiaozhu's wound, fortunately, the wound is not deep. This put Ying Zhen at ease.
"Father, you see, it turns out that this Xu Youzhi has been hiding below, and she doesn't dare to come, for fear that she will be a thief." Listening to this voice, it should be the fifth lady of Xu Mansion, that is, the youngest daughter of the eldest lady that Xiao Zhu said, the one whose soul attribute changed at the age of five, if she remembers correctly, the owner of this voice should be called Xu Yin, only two years older than herself, although the soul type is very ordinary, but listening to Xiaozhu said that she works very hard, so the level is not low, because there is no one in Xu Mansion to cultivate, there is only a weak explosion of garbage like Xu Ling, so Xu Yin has become the most powerful one in Xu Mansion, After Ran Goose accidentally injured her good sister Xu Ling without knowing how, this person named Xu Yin held a grudge against herself.
"That one is called Xu Yin, right? I'm telling you, you can eat indiscriminately, you can't talk nonsense, I've just arrived, but you, who are so anxious to splash dirty water on me, shouldn't you assassinate him? You're not trying to exonerate yourself, are you? Ying Zhen hates that others don't want to put a basin on her head the most, when did she offend them, she was really speechless.
"You! Everyone knows that this maid is yours, and you are still quibbling, and besides, how could I assassinate my father? Xu Yin was blocked by his own words at the beginning, and his brain was really bad.
"Shut up, both of you!" Xu Feng couldn't stand the quarrel between the two of them, and said: "Xu Youzhi, you listen to me, I don't care if you did this or not, I can not blame the past today." ”
"What?" Those in the study were skeptical.
"Really?" Even Ying Zhen herself didn't believe it.
"But the condition is, you must promise me that after marrying into that adult's family, you must please the adult, don't forget our Xu family, after all, it is your mother's family, help my father inquire about the direction of the wind in the court."
Ying Zhen thought that the sun was coming out in the west, it turned out that she was still thinking about marrying herself to that Wang Jinna, this Xu Feng really wouldn't be so kind, everything was for his own interests, so he agreed first and said: "Yes, but I also have the conditions, I must help my mother hold a grand funeral that can make the whole capital sensational!" I will march and lift the city to the funeral. Ying Zhen can't just agree in vain, she just wants the whole capital to know that her mother is qualified to have such a grand funeral, and let everyone in the capital know that her mother is the wife and eldest lady of the Xu Mansion! I am afraid that the lord of Xu Mansion can't afford such a funeral, even if the Xu Mansion is empty, it can only be held once, she wants this eldest lady to watch her mother enjoy the treatment that she can't enjoy.
"This, this is too ......" The people present were shocked by Ying Zhen's words, Xu Feng, Xu Feng, helping my mother hold this funeral will cost almost half of the Xu family's property, but if you don't agree, you will really be reported to the court by that Wang Jin, and all the civil and military officials will know that you sell contraband to the family for profit, even if you are the uncle of the country, I am afraid you will not be able to escape the capital crime, I want to know how you choose.
"Okay, I promise you." Xu Feng finished saying this sentence tremblingly.
"That's good, but if you dare to lie to me, I'll die for you." Ying Zhen knew that he had no conditions to threaten Xu Feng, so he could only force him to die. "But I'm going to take this maid away, you said you can be blameless."
"Whatever you want." Xu Feng even made such a big request. I agreed, so why care about a little girl.
Stepping on the afterglow of the setting sun, Ying Zhen took Xiaozhu back to her room, what should I do, should I tell her?
