Chapter 289: Mother and Son
Xu Yuanshan was not affected by Mrs. Li's words in the slightest, and he didn't even touch his eyebrows.
"If the second brother and daughter-in-law have evidence, they can present it to His Highness. The early death of my second brother has always been a knot between my mother and me. ”
"Mother's fate is difficult to disobey, I looked at my mother's face, so I treated you a little politely, but I didn't expect you to have undivided thoughts, fornication with others, and vainly tried to frame me, and use this to harm my mother and my wife......"
Xu Yuanshan said at the end, his voice was full of deep disappointment and pain, "Brother-in-law, you are really disappointing to me. If your brother had known what you had done, he would have been disappointed. ”
Second Mrs. Li was looking at him with tears in her eyes, but when she heard him mention her brother, her pupils suddenly shrank.
"You...... Vile! Second Mrs. Li gritted her teeth and said.
Xu Yuanshan bent his lips invisibly, straightened his waist, turned his head to look at her, and said with a solemn face and righteous words: "If my brother-in-law can come up with evidence to prove that I am the younger brother who died early, I can take it out at this moment." If you can't take it out, you will slander the court for a good grade, and you will be guilty of one more class today! ”
Second Mrs. Li stared at him, her hands clenched into fists, and her nails dug into her flesh, unaware.
She obviously hated it and wanted to eat its flesh raw, but for some reason, she gritted her teeth and didn't say a word.
"This is threatened...... Liu Meiren sighed, "Isn't there any other handle in her family to pinch his hands?" Hey, big sister, your son, his heart is really black, now that you are dead, his sister-in-law is also about to die, and the daughter-in-law in front of him is also going to be sent to be hanged by him, next, is it your grandchild's turn? ”
The old ancestor had mixed tastes on his face, and it was difficult to hide the pain in his eyes.
She floated in front of Shen Lingxi and said earnestly: "Crown Princess, please tell the old man ......"
However, before the old ancestor's words were finished, he saw Shen Lingxi stretch out his green fingertips and take the hand of her corpse.
At this moment, the old ancestor looked at his corpse and slowly opened his eyes.
She immediately thought of the rumors in the capital before, and instantly understood what to do.
The movement on the bed did not attract too many people's attention.
At least, Xu Yuanshan, the "Duke of Zhenguo", only cares about killing Li Xiaoqing as soon as possible, and has no time to care about others.
"Since my brother-in-law can't come up with evidence......" Xu Yuanshan snorted coldly, and then saluted Chu Yan: "Please also ask Your Highness, arrest this wicked woman who dared to kill her mother-in-law and slander the court officials, and bring her to justice." ”
However, as soon as the words fell, an old and hoarse voice came from behind him, "Erlang, the Li family has guarded you for so many years, and there is no merit and hard work, are you so anxious to send her to death?" ”
Xu Yuanshan and Second Mrs. Li were shocked.
The two of them turned their heads in disbelief, and saw that the old ancestor, who had long since lost his breath, got up from the bed at some point, got off the ground, and looked at them with a faint gaze.
"Mother-in-law......" As soon as Mrs. Li saw the old ancestor, she climbed to the feet of the old ancestor with her hands and feet, and kowtowed to her old man's house with "knock, knock, knock".
"The daughter-in-law is not filial, the daughter-in-law should not help Xu Yuanshan that brute and drug you, and the daughter-in-law never expected that he would kill you, and the daughter-in-law can't stand you." Mrs. Li wept bitterly and repented.
As soon as these words came out, it was tantamount to turning himself in public and identifying the murderer.
Li Huai recovered from the shock of the old ancestor's corpse, and when he heard this, his brows frowned.
He didn't stop for a moment, walked directly to his wooden box, took out a blank piece of paper, and wrote down the confession of Mrs. Li Er.
Xu Yuanshan's eyes narrowed slightly, completely ignoring what Li said.
In his opinion, it is more effective to solve the "problem" than the "problem".
As long as the person is settled, these confessions and identifications will not be a problem.
He looked directly at Shen Lingxi, holding the hand of the old ancestor.
"Wire Golem." He said in a deep voice.
As the "Earth Emperor" of Yunjiang, how could Xu Yuanshan not recognize this thing.
"The crown princess is really a good means, even the Yunjiang Holy Maiden's secret technique can be learned, and the silk puppet technique can be learned, no wonder these days, the whole Yunjiang is spreading, and the Holy Maiden has come back from the dead...... I don't know what the emperor will conjecture in his heart when he knows about this. If the crown princess has anything to say, she might as well say it directly, but she doesn't have to pretend to be a ghost like this and insult my mother's body. ”
Shen Lingxi looked at him with a smile and did not speak.
The old ancestor on the side, with dark eyes, stared at him coldly, "Erlang, last night, you took advantage of my coma to pour poison first, and you thought that I didn't die fast enough, so you used wet rice paper to stick it on my mouth and nose." You cried so hard last night, so painfully, and said that you will repay me for raising me in the next life. Now that I'm standing in front of you, why don't you cry? ”
When Xu Yuanshan heard this, his pupils suddenly tightened.
He knew that even if Shen Lingxi could find out the cause of his mother's death, it would be impossible to guess the details of his crime and what he said before his mother's death.
Then this deceitful corpse is very likely to be the ancestor.
No matter how deep Xu Yuanshan's mind is, at this moment, the old mother he killed with his own hands appears in front of him with a hideous face, and it is difficult for him to maintain his composure.
Xu Yuanshan took two steps back humbly.
It's just that he quickly realized that if he acquiesced to the words of his ancestors, what was waiting for him would be a place of no return.
The ghost, even if it is a ghost who cheats the corpse, is just a ghost who died in his hands.
How can it be more terrible than people?
Xu Yuanshan turned his head, looked at Chu Yan, and deliberately raised his voice, "Your Highness, today you let the crown princess make trouble here with the corpse of your mother, what do you want?" Isn't it because we want to follow the example of the ancients and do what 'the bird hides with the bow'? ”
As the words fell, there was an immediate commotion of footsteps outside the courtyard.
Xu Yuanshan's heart was slightly relieved.
He has never fought unprepared battles, and when he was changing his clothes, he had already laid a net outside this courtyard.
This is the Zhenguo Mansion, even if the East Window incident happened, how could Chu Yan, a young boy who didn't know the height of the sky, easily take him away.
It's a big deal, it's the other way around.
If he restores the cloud kingdom again, he can also ascend the throne and become an emperor.
Chu Yan looked at him with a faint expression, and he could see the calculation in his heart at a glance.
"The bird is hiding the bow, and you have to use the bow first." Chu Yan said in a cool tone, "At best, you are just a slingshot." It is not worth being alone in you, following the example of the ancients. ”
This is not very hurtful, and it is extremely insulting.
Liu Meiren and a few concubines laughed out loud.
Shen Lingxi, who was holding the body of the old ancestor, couldn't help laughing.
Xu Yuanshan's face instantly turned black to the bottom of the pot, "The minister has been loyal to His Highness from beginning to end, and he has no two hearts. Your Highness, don't forget, when you almost died in the Dragon Slope, it was the minister who saved you. ”
Hearing him mention "Slaying Dragon Slope", the smile on Shen Lingxi's face instantly disappeared from the corner of his lips.
"Oh?" Chu Yan raised his eyebrows, his face turned cold, "What are you, you dare to say that you have saved Gu's life." ”
"Chunjun, palm!"
The next chapter is still being worked on, and it will be later.
