At this moment, everyone understood why the coachman named Guizhu betrayed Wei.

Wine-colored wealth is the most touching, especially if he is still addicted, maybe in the end, those people give him not only greedy wine, but directly use medicine to control people.

For this irresistible drug, no loyalty or commitment is vain.

Cui Ji sighed: "Why didn't you say it at that time? ”

Sun Laosan was silent, she didn't answer, but Cui Ji and Xie Zhiyun didn't ask again.

What else could it be? Because Sun Laosan was scared, he didn't want to be the coward who betrayed the Suguo Mansion and didn't want to be the culprit, so he just lived in fear all day long, living in guilt and fear all day long.

Xie Zhiyun recalled that dream, so at the end of the dream, he would be so crazy.

Before long, he's going to drive himself crazy.

Fortunately, fortunately, the dream foreshadowed this tragedy in advance, and fortunately, they were able to talk to the sober Sun Laosan and dig out all the truth.

"What's that liquor shop called, and where is it? Have you ever been there again? ”

Sun Laosan lowered his head, and he said hoarsely: "That wine shop is called Quhefang, after the accident in Guizhu, I didn't go again, and I have been relying on other spirits to suppress the medicinal properties." ”

The pain of drug withdrawal crushed the last straw.

Cui Ji waved his hand at Feng Fang, and then looked at Sun Laosan: "Third child, we have known each other for many years, at that time, Grandpa Guo had just become a deputy general, and our family had to follow him to fight everywhere, and our mother relied on your carriage to avoid one danger after another." ”

"Looking back now, the days were really hard and far away."

"It's so far away that I can't even remember those details."

Sun Laosan whimpered, choked up and said, "Madam, don't say it, it's the fault of the third child, it's the third child's uselessness." ”

Cui Ji sighed.

"It's not your fault, it's all those people's fault, they do everything they can, they want to make Yezhou fall apart," Cui Ji stood up holding Xie Zhiyun's hand, her body was thin and thin, but her back was never bent, "We just can't fulfill their wishes." ”

In Sun Laosan's bitter cry, Cui Ji patted Xie Zhiyun's hand, and the two of them came out of the dungeon together.

Suddenly seeing the light from the darkness, Xie Zhiyun's eyes were a little sour, and she blinked her eyes hard to get used to the orange-red glow in front of her.

"It's getting late." Xie Zhiyun looked at the sky and said.

Cui Ji said: "Let's have dinner in Rongjingtang in the evening, your father will come back early today, and the family will talk for a while." ”

Xie Zhijun said: "Okay. ”

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law returned to Rongjingtang quietly, Xie Zhiyun saw that Cui Ji's face was not good, and his mood was a little dripping, so he asked his subordinates to bring a bowl of ginseng tea up, and gave it to Cui Ji.

"Mother has worked hard today, let's eat some ginseng tea to nourish your qi."

Cui Ji sighed: "How did you notice something different?" ”

Xie Zhiyun had already thought about it: "When the accident happened before, the little grandfather checked the house, but at that time, he couldn't blatantly investigate the traitor, so he only checked a few coachmen close to Guizhu, and the rest, such as Sun Laosan, just asked the stewards to ask briefly." ”

"But those young coachmen don't know who Guizhu interacts with on weekdays, and they don't even know what he does during the holidays, he is too silent to leave any clues."

"I thought at the time, it is impossible for a person to live in the house without any traces, but at that time, even if someone has a ghost in his heart, he is not on the verge of collapse, and he can withstand repeated inquiries."

"When that day is over, when he stays restless all night and panics, you can use a little thing to expose himself."

When Xie Zhiyun said that she wanted to check the accounts before, Cui Ji probably understood what she was going to do, but she didn't expect the effect to be so good, so she blew Sun Laosan out directly.

Cui Ji had a headache, she pinched her forehead and said, "I just didn't expect that this person would be Sun Laosan." ”

Xie Zhiyun is a little more cold-hearted than Cui Ji, and she and Sun Laosan do not have the old love of running for their lives together, she said: "Mother, this person may be any person, there is no Sun Laosan, there are Li Laosan, Chen Laosan." ”

"After all, the Suguo Mansion is different from the past, so many people are staring at us, looking at the fertile soil of these eight states, and looking at so many elite soldiers and generals in the western suburbs, who will not be greedy?"

Xie Zhiyun is very young, she has not even experienced war, but she is calmer than Cui Ji, who has been on the move.

"Mother, we're going to get ready."

Cui Ji sighed: "You're right. ”

The two talked for a while, Ji Xiuxiu led Wei Ningshu to Rongjingtang, she talked about the problem of the kitchen, and Xie Zhiyun said: "Okay, you have worked hard, let's discuss how to solve this problem tomorrow." ”

Ji Xiuxiu looked at her, and then at Cui Ji who was smiling with her eyes down, and as soon as her eyes rolled, she immediately took Wei Ningshu's hand: "Okay, let's discuss it tomorrow, I'm tired today, eldest sister, let's go back and rest first." ”

As she spoke, she dragged Wei Ningshu, who was dazed, away.

After the two of them left, Xie Zhiyun laughed: "Mother, I think the third brother-in-law is really shrewd, you can imagine how powerful the Ji clan's patriarch is." ”

Cui Ji's expression was relieved, and he also eased up.

"Yes, she is just right for the third child," Cui Ji said with a smile, "It's good to get along with the third child, but she is too competitive and always wants to compare with others." ”

Xie Zhiyun said: "It is a good thing that the third brother-in-law has the ability, ability, and competitiveness, and in the future, she can also deal with the affairs of the family with me, and my mother and I can also be more relaxed." ”

Cui Ji saw that her eyebrows and eyes were relaxed, and she couldn't help but say: "You can get along with her, but others say they can't stand her." ”

"The third brother-in-law is a little more powerful, but she is not a bad person," Xie Zhiyun said, "She has a good heart." ”

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked for a while, and Wei Cang came back.

As soon as he came back, he laughed and said, "It seems that the lady and the eldest daughter-in-law have made meritorious contributions today, and I know the good news from the state governor's office." ”

Xie Zhiyun got up to salute, and Wei Cang waved his hand: "Sit down and talk." ”

Then she watched Grandpa Guo take off his armor and cloak by himself, and took a handkerchief to wash his hands and face, Cui Ji only followed him, occasionally handing a handkerchief over, and did not reach out to help at all.

Xie Zhiyun suddenly thought that the same was true for the garrison.

The men of their Wei family take care of themselves and don't need help from others, and they act cleaner than the other.

It turned out that they all learned from Wei Cang.

Thinking of this, Xie Zhiyun's heart suddenly moved.

She lowered her eyebrows and looked at her hands folded on her knees.

I don't know where the garrison has arrived at this moment, whether it has been encamped and settled.

Thinking of him, Xie Zhiyun's hands unconsciously clenched together.

For the first time, I learned what it means to miss.
