Chapter 36: Just a chess piece

Shen Yanshu told the past bit by bit, these things were as if they only happened yesterday, so clear and profound, but she knew that she would never go back.

Xi Yan also stood up because of the shock and walked to Shen Yanshu's side: "County Lord...... Is it really you?"

Shen Yanshu turned to look at her: "It's me." ”

"Aren't you already ...... How could she become the third lady of the Shen Mansion, what about the real Shen Yanshu?" Xiyan really had too many doubts.

Shen Yanshu said: "I am also the real Shen Yanshu now. I died in the fire in the Lu family, and after waking up, I became Shen Yanshu who jumped into the lake and drowned, although it was a little bizarre, but this is indeed true, and the original Shen Yanshu may have died after falling into the water. ”

Xiyan's eyes widened, this was simply incredible.

"Originally, I was afraid that you would not believe it, so I didn't tell you. But seeing your actions today, I'm afraid that if I don't say anything else, you'll do something even more stupid. Shen Yanshu said.

Xiyan lowered his head in shame: "County Lord, it's me who is too useless." ”

Shen Yanshu: "In the future, without my permission, you are not allowed to act privately." ”

Xi Yan nodded like pounding garlic and said, "I will only listen to the words of the county lord in the future, and I will not act rashly again." ”

"Don't call me the county lord anymore, you can't reveal my identity to anyone unless you have to, because the more one person knows, the more danger we have. Shen Yanshu instructed.

"Slave and maid, miss. Xiyan bowed to Shen Yanshu in a proper manner.

Shen Yanshu's face slowly eased.

Xiyan told Shen Yanshu that when the Chen family was beheaded, she was in the backyard of the house, and the officers and soldiers came very suddenly, so she had to hide in the courtyard where the maid lived first, and then a maid in her yard insisted on exchanging clothes and identities with her, so that she escaped the catastrophe.

Because the maid was just a rough maid in the backyard, she was sold to the tooth shop in this capacity, and she was sold to a family before, and then the lady saw that she was too beautiful, and she was afraid of seducing her father-in-law, so she sold her out again. Later, he entered the Shen family.

This year, she also heard some news. There are some places for people to buy and sell, and some people are used to seeing the dirty things at the door of the mansion, and occasionally they will chat, and it is there that she learned about Qi Yunge. Qi Yunge was thrown into the firewood room on the wedding night, and the Lu family dared to do so before the Zhenbei General's Mansion had not yet fallen.

Xiyan concluded that the affairs of the Qi family and the Chen family were inseparable from Lu Huaiyuan, which was why she decided to kill Lu Huaiyuan.

Shen Yanshu held her hand, and his heart was indescribably sour: "You have suffered." ”

"Compared with the disaster of destroying the door, this little suffering is nothing. Xi Yan smiled bitterly, "It's a pity that Lu Huaiyuan can't be punished now." ”

"Do you think that Lu Huaiyuan alone can bring down a Yipin Zhenguo general? This matter is far from being that simple, Lu Huaiyuan may just be one of the insignificant chess pieces, I kept him just to find out the people behind the scenes along this chess piece!"

She has no evidence now, and she doesn't even know how it happened in the first place, and how her father and brother died, so she can only follow the useful clues bit by bit.

Xiyan nodded: "I know, it's me who is too reckless." ”

They were talking inside the house when there was a knock on the door.

"Miss, the hot water is ready, do you want to take a bath now?" asked the young kite.

Shen Yanshu gave Xi Yan a look and asked her to go out and open the door.

Xiyan nodded, opened the door, and said to the green kite, "Let people bring hot water in." ”

The green kite entered the room and was startled when she saw the fragments of the celadon cup on the ground: "Miss, what's wrong?"

"It's okay, my hand slipped and I didn't hold it steadily, and it broke, you can let someone clean it up. Shen Yanshu said without changing his face, and then walked towards the bath tub that was already filled with hot water behind the screen.

She was a little tired and really needed a bath to relax.

And the Lu Mansion is not so peaceful.

Jiang Jasmine was sent back to her yard and grounded, she couldn't even get out of the room, no matter how she scolded and threw things, no one paid attention to it, she was tired of shouting, and the whole person was decadent on the ground, staring blankly at the closed door.

She suddenly remembered that the Qingyun County Lord a year ago was also like this? At that time, she also mocked Qi Yunge fiercely, but she didn't expect that Feng Shui would fall, and she would also end up like this.

"Squeak-"

The door opened, Jiang Jasmine looked up, and saw Lu Huaiyuan, who was standing at the door looking at her condescendingly, and she suddenly laughed with tears in her eyes: "Xianggong, are you here?"

"Jiang family, don't meddle in the affairs of the Lu Mansion in the future. Lu Huaiyuan opened his mouth to speak, his deep voice with a faint detachment.

Jiang Jasmine shook her head violently: "No, Xianggong, you can't do this, today's incident is not my fault, it's all because that person surnamed Shen is too deceitful......"

"That's enough!" Lu Huaiyuan interrupted her impatiently, "You take care of your injuries in the yard, and don't walk around if you're fine." ”

Jiang Shi saw the disgust in Lu Huaiyuan's eyes, which deeply pierced her heart, she knelt on the ground and slowly crawled forward towards him, and finally grabbed the corner of his clothes: "Xianggong, I know it's wrong, I won't fan this kind of mistake again! Please forgive me, okay?"

Lu Huaiyuan was unmoved, it was because he was soft-hearted at the beginning, so he agreed to let the Jiang family entertain the female dependents who came to the mansion, and he would not let the same thing happen a second time!

"Is it because I've become ugly that Xianggong doesn't look down on me?" Jiang Jasmine's hand suddenly caressed her face, and the roughness of the scar made her heart fall to the bottom.

Lu Huaiyuan didn't want to look at her like this, he had been making a lot of noise since he was disfigured, and the whole mansion was not at peace, which really made him tired.

"It has nothing to do with your looks. Lu Huaiyuan only left this sentence and threw away his sleeves.

Jiang Jasmine realized that he was about to leave, and hurriedly went up to grab him, but as soon as she was about to get up, the door was closed again.

She was stunned in place, has it nothing to do with her appearance?

Then why hasn't he touched himself since she was disfigured? Jiang Jasmine suddenly thought of the mirror that Shen Yanshu gave - a broken mirror and a reunion?

Oh, how can this broken mirror be round!

Where can the feelings that have been destroyed by Qi Yunge be good? She almost forgot that the day she was disfigured was also the day Qi Yunge died, maybe Lu Huaiyuan had long been in love with Qi Yunge, but he had to kill her.

Jiang Jasmine suddenly laughed when she thought about it, and her somewhat permeable laughter echoed throughout the courtyard, and the maids guarding the courtyard couldn't help but shiver.

Lu Huaiyuan returned to the study, sat at the desk and thought of today's everything, his heart couldn't help but be low, what was originally a good banquet was messed up by the Jiang family before it started.

Lu Huaimin came in with a snack, and when he saw Lu Huaiyuan's frustrated look, he stepped forward to persuade him: "Brother, don't be sad anymore, eat something first." ”

Lu Huaiyuan shook his head: "I don't have an appetite, take it down." ”

"Brother, things are already like this, it's useless for you to be upset, now you have to think of a remedy. Lu Huaimin said.

Lu Huaiyuan sighed: "How can it be so easy to remedy, those female dependents are frightened, and I am afraid that they will not want to deal with our Lu Mansion anymore." ”

"This is all caused by the Jiang family, since she was scratched on the face, it has not stopped, why did my brother stop her, and marry a virtuous young lady of the family, if the family background is okay, I can also help my brother in the officialdom. ”

Lu Huaimin's dissatisfaction with the Jiang family has not been a day or two, and now that something like this has happened, she really can't wait to draw a line with the Jiang family.

Lu Huaiyuan said: "The Jiang family can't give up yet, after all, it is my wife, if I abandon my wife who is bad, my reputation as an official will be ruined." ”

Lu Huaimin pursed his lips: "Then why don't you just kill the Jiang family like Qi Yunge?"

As soon as she finished saying this, she suddenly felt Lu Huaiyuan's dissatisfied gaze.

"Now everyone knows that the joke made by the Lu Mansion is because of the Jiang family, if the Jiang family dies at this time, even if there is any reason, who will not know that it is our hand?"

"This won't work, that won't work, so what do you say?" Lu Huaimin was a little discouraged, and suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Why don't we go and find ......?"

"What's more!" Lu Huaiyuan suddenly said sharply, he knew who Lu Huaimin wanted to say, but it was too dangerous, "Don't fight such an idea in the future." ”

Lu Huaimin was taken aback by him, and asked again: "Why, we made a meritorious contribution to the collapse of the Qi family at the beginning, we can use this to join him, and we will have a good relationship to rely on in the future, why should we get rid of the relationship?"

Lu Huaiyuan looked at her with some discouragement, and said: "At the beginning, they had already given us the position of champion as promised, so I entered the officialdom. If this matter is mentioned again, I am afraid that in order not to divulge the secret, they will choose to kill us directly. ”

Lu Huaimin also turned white in fright: "This ......"

So don't bring it up again. Lu Huaiyuan instructed.

At the beginning, he knew that he was just a pawn, but they held each other's secrets, and the man would not touch him for the time being, but if he brought it up again, the end would be unknown.

After all, it was the general of Zhenbei who had a very high prestige who framed him, and everyone could only rot in their stomachs about this matter.

It's just that he thinks it's strange, since that person doesn't want to have anything to do with him, why did he send someone to the mansion today?

said that he was going to a banquet, but Lu Huaiyuan could also feel the other party's temptation.

What's even stranger is that most of the people who come here today seem to be looking for something, consciously or unconsciously, as if they think they have some treasure in their hands.

However, before the matter was clear, he still couldn't trust anyone, and just blocked the words back with Tai Chi.

Now that he has been promoted in just one year, it seems that the emperor still has a good impression of him, and even the prince of Dingxi has personally come to the mansion to congratulate, even if he is impeached today, it probably won't have much impact.

Lu Huaiyuan thought that it was because he was talented that everyone took such a fancy to him, and the depression in his heart was reduced a lot when he thought about it like this.
