Chapter 35: Angry Reprimand
Originally, Shen Yanshu was just guessing, but seeing Chu Linche's reaction, she felt that she must have guessed correctly.
After leaving the Lu Mansion, Ruan Leyao let Shen Yanshu get into her carriage and sent her back to the Shen Mansion first, because the Shen family's carriage had to be left to Shen Yuyan, who no longer knew where to go.
Shen Yanshu looked out of the window of the car, looking at the mansion of Lu Mansion, the eye-catching and dazzling two big words "Lu Mansion", his eyes were dark.
This mansion that was exchanged for the blood and tears of the Zhenbei General's Mansion, I don't know if they can live in peace of mind?
The carriage started slowly, and Shen Yanshu also lowered the curtains of the carriage.
"Shu'er, what grievances do you have with the people of the Lu Mansion?" Ruan Leyao asked seriously.
originally thought that Shen Yanshu would simply make the people of the Lu Mansion make some ugliness, but she didn't expect that she would make the Lu Mansion uneasy, and she didn't even have the slightest intention of relieving her anger.
She is not stupid, how could she not see Shen Yanshu's deep-seated hatred for Lu Fu.
Shen Yanshu looked down at Ruan Leyao's clasped hands with herself, slender and fair, because of martial arts, there was a rough frosting feeling on the fingertips and palms, but it was very comfortable and warm.
She met Ruan Leyao's eyes: "If I say that I want to bring down the entire Lu Mansion and want Lu Huaiyuan and them to die well, will you think I'm cruel?"
Ruan Leyao looked at her in surprise, unable to understand: "Why?"
There were only Shen Yanshu and Ruan Leyao in this carriage, and the carriage was still moving forward steadily, but Ruan Leyao's heart was beating, it was the first time she saw Shen Yanshu like this, her eyes were desperate and ruthless.
Shen Yanshu took a deep breath and tried to adjust his emotions.
"What do you think about the Qi family's rebellion a year ago?" Shen Yanshu didn't say directly, but asked Ruan Leyao a question first.
Ruan Leyao was stunned, although a year has passed since this incident, it is rarely mentioned.
She thought for a while and said: "To be honest, before that, I had always admired General Qi, because of my father, I admired those who killed the enemy on the battlefield and defended the country, and it was because of these people that there was peace in the country." But...... The Qi family overturned overnight, even if many people didn't believe it and avenged for the Qi family, but later they all ......"
Ruan Leyao's voice became smaller as she spoke.
"Then do you believe that the Qi family really rebelled?" Shen Yanshu asked again.
Ruan Leyao thought for a while and shook her head: "I don't know." My grandfather said that good and evil in this world are unpredictable, and we don't have too many deep friendships with the Qi family, so we can't jump to conclusions. ”
"Then if I'm pretty sure you tell you that the Qi family has no rebellion and no intention of rebellion, will you believe it?" Shen Yanshu said as he looked at Ruan Leyao.
Ruan Leyao asked in surprise, "How did you know?"
"It doesn't matter how I know, what matters is that all this is a conspiracy! A general of Yipin Zhenguo, who fought on the battlefield with his life and blood to defend his family and the country, defended the prosperity of this country with his life's energy and blood and tears, but in exchange for an end of being framed, dead without a body, and leaving a stench for 10,000 years! Isn't it sad?!"
Shen Yanshu said in a low voice, but in the end, she couldn't suppress her emotions, and suddenly raised her voice and asked, her eyes were already red, but she held back her tears to prevent herself from crying.
Ruan Leyao was taken aback by her words.
The Qi family ended up in a bleak situation, and within a few days, Qi Yunge, who married into the Lu family, also died, saying that he was mentally abnormal, and committed suicide by arson. Shen Yanshu sneered, "Actually, before the Qi family's accident, on the night Qi Yunge got married, she was thrown into the firewood room by the Lu family, abused and beaten to death. ”
Ruan Leyao didn't know what to say for a while, her heart was shocked, more shocked than when she knew that the Qi family was rebelling.
"You...... Does it have anything to do with the Qi family?" she asked.
Shen Yanshu came back to her senses, and she said: "The Qi family once had a kindness to me, so let me repay the favor." What's more, a traitor like Lu Huaiyuan is punished by everyone. ”
She wouldn't tell Ruan Leyao that she was Qi Yunge.
Ruan Leyao is righteous and kind by nature, but she is not a person in the bureau, and her interests are not clear, if she can't keep this secret, both of them will become the target of public criticism.
"But Lu Huaiyuan is a court official, it's okay to make a small fight, but it's very difficult to bring down the Lu Mansion. Ruan Leyao said worriedly.
Shen Yanshu said: "No matter how difficult it is, you have to give it a try." Now that you know these things and know that this matter is dangerous, you can stay away from me in the future, otherwise it will be my fault if you are affected. ”
This sentence is sincere, although she is revengeful, but she does not want to involve innocent people in this dangerous matter.
Ruan Leyao said: "I didn't know about it before, but now that I know about it, I naturally can't turn a blind eye indifferently, and it's good if I can help something." ”
Shen Yanshu: "I don't need your help, just act like you don't know anything, and don't talk to Lord Weng or anyone when you go back, this matter is very important, the reason why I tell you is that I am afraid that you don't understand what I do." ”
Ruan Leyao nodded, she has never been a talkative person.
The carriage moved forward slowly, and finally arrived at the door of the Shen Mansion.
Shen Yanshu said goodbye to Ruan Leyao, got out of the carriage, and then watched the carriage slowly move towards Weng Mansion again.
Ruan Leyao leaned on the wall of the carriage, thinking back to what Shen Yanshu said to her, and felt that it was a mess, and it was messy to cut and tidy.
Shen Yanshu returned to the Dark Fragrance Residence, first instructed Qing Kite to get some hot water to prepare for a bath, and then took Xiyan into the room.
"Go and close the door first. Shen Yanshu said and sat down on the stool.
Xiyan did so and closed the door, there were not many people in the dark fragrance house, and everyone didn't expect that Shen Yanshu would come back so early when he went to the banquet, and he didn't come forward to serve for a while.
"Aren't you going to explain today's matter?" Shen Yanshu raised his eyes and looked at Xi Yan.
Xiyan knelt directly on the ground: "Since it was discovered by the young lady, the slave has nothing to say." ”
"Nothing to say?" Shen Yanshu felt ridiculous, "If you have nothing to say, you want to send me away? Just by what you did today, I can directly send you to the official yamen!"
"The slave is at the disposal of the young lady, and one person does the work and the other is responsible. ”
Shen Yanshu said: "It's good to do things one by one! Do you know that if you kill Lu Huaiyuan today, I'm afraid that our entire Shen Mansion will not be able to get out of it." Murder the court official, it doesn't matter if you die, do you want to drag so many people from the Shen Mansion to bury you?"
Xi Yan said: "Taichang Qing's Mansion has never had anything to do with the dispute between the court, after I killed Lu Huaiyuan, even if I have something to do with the Shen family, they will still follow the investigation of the Chen family where I have stayed, and determine that I am just a traitor." Even if it weren't, Miss Miss's intelligence would have cleared the matter, wouldn't she?"
Shen Yanshu asked, "Do you think you can kill Lu Huaiyuan?"
"If it hadn't been for Miss to stop me, I'm sure I could have done it. Xiyan said.
"Smack-" The cup in Shen Yanshu's hand was thrown to the ground and shattered, she stood up angrily, leaned over and looked at Xiyan, furious.
"Chen Yanxi, when did you become so stupid!"
Xi Yan looked up at Shen Yanshu in surprise.
How would she know who she was?!
"If I hadn't stopped it, the one who died would have been you!" Shen Yanshu continued, "Do you think that the small number of people at that time was the best time to make a move!"
"Don't say that Ruan Leyao has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, you may not be her opponent, do you know that Chu Linche, the prince of Dingxi Hou, is not a person to be messed with, his status, where do you think his entourage will be bad! If you showed the dagger at that time, you would have been taken down before you reached Lu Huaiyuan!"
"Lu Huaiyuan didn't succeed, but he put his life into it, do you think you are stupid!"
Shen Yanshu was angry not because she wanted to kill Lu Huaiyuan, not because she was afraid that it would affect the Shen Mansion, but because she actually used such a stupid method!
Xiyan listened to Shen Yanshu's words, and her heart cooled.
After thinking for a long time, she said: "But I have no other way, Lu Huaiyuan and I have a common enmity, I must kill him!"
"Kill him?" Shen Yanshu showed an extremely fierce smile, "Wouldn't it be cheaper to let him die like this!, I want to let him live well, be tortured, let him die in pain, and regret what he did at the beginning!"
Xi Yan was even more surprised in her heart: "You...... Who the hell are you!"
Shen Yanshu stared at Xiyan, tears fell without warning, she leaned over and lowered her head to Xiyan's ear, and whispered.
"Yan Xi, I'm Qi Yunge. ”
Xiyan trembled subconsciously, and the body that was still kneeling leaned to the side, and the whole person looked at Shen Yanshu incredulously, shaking her head to express her disbelief: "Impossible!"
Her father is General Qi's lieutenant, and her mother has a good relationship with Mrs. Qi, so she and Qi Yunge have known each other since childhood, and later Mrs. Qi Jiang also asked her to go to the General's Mansion to study, study with Qi Yunge, and practice martial arts together, how could she not recognize Qi Yunge?
Shen Yanshu guessed that she would react like this, and if it was her, it would be difficult for her to accept such a fact.
She stood up, turned her back to Xiyan, and said, "We have known each other since childhood, and when you were seven years old, you became my companion. I still remember that you were very afraid of Mr. Qiu, who taught the piano, because she was very strict, and every time she played the wrong key, she had to reprimand, and then you secretly practiced the piano every night, but the result was that because you worked too hard, your fingers were so swollen that you couldn't touch the piano for two months, and you were still reprimanded by Qiu Fuzi. ”
"When I was ten years old, someone entered the house to assassinate, it was you who blocked a sword for me, and then there was a scar on my left shoulder, when I was fourteen years old, out of curiosity, we went to visit the Qinglou in disguise as a man, but we were found by the bustard, and we were thrown out directly, because I felt too ashamed, and only the two of us knew about this matter, and no one told it. Until the day before I got married, you still took my hand and said that if Lu Huaiyuan dared to bully me in the future, you would beat him up. ”
