Chapter 28: The Prejudgment Comes True
Chapter 28
Early the next morning, Xie Zhan received replies from the Lu family and the Qin family, and they both returned their posts.
The two posts were rejected at the same time, and Xie Zhan was puzzled.
The Qin family refused the invitation, and he could understand it. After all, the Zhao family has divorced from the Qin family, and what about their Zhao Lu Xie family has nothing to do with the Qin family, and the Qin family has the arrogance of a military general, and it is reasonable not to accept the peace talks organized by him.
But the post to the Lu family was also returned, which was beyond his expectations.
In his expectation, Lu Songli, as his fiancée, is now in a provocation, and the Lu family just rubbed the Zhao family on the ground yesterday, he feels that no matter what the reason, the Lu family should agree to the invitation, and then come to negotiate arrogantly.
At present, the Lu family looks like they are refusing to negotiate, as if they don't care about the thoughts and opinions of the Xie family and his fiancé. Xie Zhan was keenly aware that something was going on inside that he didn't know.
Just when Xie Zhan was still thinking and deliberating about the possible problems, the little guy in his yard ran towards him, "Oh no, no, big young master!" ”
"What's going on?"
"Miss Zhao committed suicide by cutting her wrists in the middle of the night last night, and it is said that blood flowed all over the ground, staining the floor of the room red."
After the initial surprise, Xie Zhan calmly asked, "What else?" ”
He didn't ask Zhao Yutan if he was dead, he was definitely still there. The Zhao family will definitely not let Zhao Yutan die like this, if she dies, then the Zhao family will really lose all their money. However, this suicide by cutting his wrists, plus the previous hanging, the same trick, has already been done twice. If it was just a show before, then the Zhao family would definitely not dare to fool people anymore.
"The bedside girl was woken up by the smell of blood, only to find out that something was wrong. The imperial doctor guessed that Miss Zhao waited for the girl ring who accompanied the bed to fall asleep before moving. ”
"The Zhao family invited a doctor?"
"Yes, the doctors invited outside shook their heads after reading it, and the Zhao family had no choice but to hang on to their lives with ginseng, and then went into the palace to ask for a doctor."
"Then what's the situation on the Zhao family's side now?"
"Miss Zhao is still in a coma, and the doctor said that if she can wake up, she will live, and if she can't wake up, she will not live."
After listening to the little guy's words, Xie Zhan fell into deep thought, could it be that he guessed wrong? The Zhao family got rid of it? Zhao Yutan couldn't stand it, so he really committed suicide? But his instincts dismissed his suspicions.
Then, this is still intentional by the Zhao family. The Zhao family has made a bloody investment this time, and what they seek is only to put them to death and live later, and this 'life' also needs an opportunity. Xie Zhan thought about it again, the Zhao family's approach of such a ruin did not look like Zhao Wenkuan's style, but as if he was sure that someone was going to do it......
His eyes narrowed slightly, and he ordered, "Go and inquire about the follow-up news of the Zhao family!" Also, inquire about the visitors to the house in the past two days, and where the master has been and seen whom. ”
It didn't take long for his people to come with the news he wanted.
Because Miss Zhao left a suicide note before committing suicide, saying that her reputation was tarnished because of falling into the water, she had already sprouted a will to live and die: Later, the family was impeached for her slander, and she wanted to solve it but returned in vain, and her behavior may even bring a second blow to the family, and she felt shameless to live in the world.
Mrs. Zhao, Luo Shi, went to the yamen alone and asked Lord Chang'an to order the arrest of the broken mouth who had recently spread rumors and slandered her daughter. In view of the fact that Zhao Yutan is still unconscious, it is very likely that he will not wake up, so Chang'an Ling allowed it. At this time, the officials were arresting people everywhere, and Chang'an City was in chaos.
Xie Zhan saw at a glance that the Zhao family was killing two birds with one stone, one could frame the Lu family, and then directly defeat the rumors, and the other could force the Xie family, which actually gave the Xie family the opportunity to withdraw from their relatives again. In the final analysis, everything the Zhao family did was aimed at the Lu family.
Another thing that Xie Zhan had just asked Cha to do had a result. When he saw Zhao Wenkuan's name on the visitor list, his face was slightly gloomy. His father accepted the Zhao family's surrender, no wonder the Zhao family dared to act so radically.
Xie Zhan was in a very bad mood at this time, his father was really in a hurry. He clearly said that there was no rush in this matter, take a look at it slowly, and then talk about it, and he was not in a hurry to make up his mind! This is also the first time he has tasted the bitterness of being a young patriarch.
Xie Mingtang: It's not that he's in a hurry, it's that the Zhao family has given too much, and it's hard for him to refuse.
The matter has come to this point, Xie Zhan plans to take a good look at how the Zhao family will sing this play!
People's joys and sorrows are not connected, and compared with the cloudy Zhao Mansion, the Lu family seems quiet and peaceful.
Second Brother Xu went out of the city early in the morning, after all, he had to take care of the livelihood of the family to kill pigs, and Lu Desheng got up alone to send the guests. On weekdays, he has to go to the morning court and get up early. After sending off Second Brother Xu, he went back to the house to rest.
Because today is a day off, her father doesn't have to go to the Yushitai to order Mao. Lu Songli wrote a prescription early in the morning, asked people to go to Dr. Zhou's to grab the medicine and come back, and then boiled two large pots of Chinese herbal shampoo.
Lu Songli took her mother to wash her hair together and used one of the pots. In another pot, she asked her servants to scoop the boiled medicinal juice into a wooden barrel, and brought it to the main courtyard for her father to use.
In ancient times, because of the reason that she grew her hair, her hair was long, and her hair reached her waist, but because her body was not good, her hair quality was also poor. As the saying goes, in addition to hair is blood, it is not surprising that her hair quality is not good. In the future, she will take medicine to recuperate her body, and then use the secret recipe of Chinese medicine to nourish her hair, and her hair will definitely get better.
In ancient times, washing hair was a big project. There is no hair dryer here, and such long hair cannot come down for an hour or two from washing to drying.
Didn't you find that in order to do a good job in this big project, the imperial court invented the rest of the day? Xiu Mu Xiu Mu, as the name suggests, this day is for officials to wash their hair and bathe. Her father washes his hair on a day off and every ten days, which means that her father only washes his hair once in ten days.
The women of later generations are more or less a bit clean, and Lu Songli is no exception. Let her wash her hair once every ten days, she can't. Before she wore it, she washed her hair every other day. Here, washing once every five days is already the limit of what she can bear. Not to mention that her hair quality is not good, it is the type that is frizzy and easy to produce oil, when Mo Bing combed her hair before, she also loved to smear osmanthus head oil on it, and her hair was greasy and shiny, she couldn't think about it, she was a chill when she thought about it.
"Don't say it, after this medicinal juice is washed, the smell of hair is quite good." When the mother and daughter were lying on the couch to dry their hair, her mother said.
"That's it." Lu Songli has just said that this recipe is a secret recipe for hair nourishment that she bought before, which contains more than ten flavors of Chinese herbal medicines such as side leaves, Polygonum multiflorum, dried ginger, angelica, etc., among which the amount of Polygonum multiflorum is not low, and the taste is of course good. And often use this recipe to wash your hair, and it also has the effect of black hair.
The news of Zhao Yutan's suicide by cutting his wrists reached the Lu Mansion, and the Lu family had dried their hair and were ready to eat.
Lu Songli pursed her lips, it's still the same old-fashioned, I told her in advance, don't use this trick all the time. Sure enough, it's a poor donkey!
Her mother, Jiang Shi, shook her head after hearing this, "Come again?" It's only been a few days since the last hanging, and this time I cut my wrists and bled again? It can't be another disguise, right? ”
Lu Songli smiled, "That's not possible, please ask the imperial doctor, it will alarm the palace, Zhao Yutan must have gone under the knife, and the blood will definitely not be less." "Zhao Yutan has suffered a lot, that's for sure.
"Master, madam, second miss, then Miss Zhao also left a suicide note." The servant who inquired about the news said with a bitter face.
"What did the suicide note say?"
"It roughly means that her reputation was ruined because of the overboard, and she has already developed a will to live and die: later the family was impeached for her slander, she wanted to apologize and explain but returned to no avail, and when she thought that her actions might even bring a second blow to the family, she felt shameless to live in the world."
Lu Song Lixin said, what a big basin of dirty water! Look, these words are outside the words, openly and secretly, doesn't it mean that their father and daughter forced her to death?
Syllable! Jiang Shi was so angry that he slapped his chopsticks on the table, "What does she mean by this?" ”
This suicide note leads to the whole story, which will really make people think about it.
"Auntie, let's not be angry." Lu Songli sat close to her and gave her a touch on her back. This suicide note does mean something, but it doesn't name names, so they don't want to sit down.
"My daughter is right, you can write your suicide note as much as you like, and it doesn't name you, what does it have to do with us, don't you react so violently." Lu Desheng is also the appearance of the old god, hmph, Zhao Mansion is also a trick.
Jiang Shi saw the same hob meat appearance of the father and daughter, and turned his anger into laughter, "Okay, I'm not angry." ”
