Chapter 115: So heartless
Concubine Liao glanced at Aunt Feng calmly again and said in a deep voice: "Let's all go to my room. This man doesn't seem to be a tough guy. He should be able to find out the results soon. You all should also listen."
"Ms. Tao Fei, I... I don't feel well. Can I go back first?"
Aunt Feng suddenly spoke timidly. Aunt Qiu looked at her strangely and asked, "Weren't you fine just now? Why are you not feeling well now?"
"Are you feeling uncomfortable or feeling guilty?"
Concubine Liao suddenly asked in a deep voice, which frightened Aunt Feng to the point where she almost jumped up and stammered with a pale face: "How...how can you feel guilty? Concubine, I...I...that's all, I'm going, isn't it okay for me to go?"
?」
Her words were simply self-inflicted. Xin Nian narrowed his eyes and thought for a while but finally did not speak. Aunt Qiu looked at Aunt Feng in shock, her mouth opened, but she could not say a word.
Concubine Liao ignored their reactions, flicked her sleeves, turned around and walked towards her courtyard.
Mrs. Liao followed immediately and sighed in her heart. She knew that at this point, Aunt Feng could no longer be saved. Since she couldn't save her, she had to abandon her troops to protect her commander.
Almost in an instant, Mrs. Liao made up her mind: with Gu Changting's current attitude, she absolutely could not afford to be involved in this matter. Although she did not intervene this time and left no clues, if Aunt Feng was allowed to live
, Cousin only needs a few words to ask what happened. He is not a fool like Aunt Feng. He can fool her easily. Not only will he not be able to escape suspicion, but even the children will be implicated...
The more Ms. Liao thought about it, the more frightened she became, and her eyes gradually became cold and firm: Aunt Feng could not stay, both in public and private matters. This matter must be done quickly, before Gu Changting returns home.
Everyone had their own ideas, and soon they arrived at Concubine Liao's upper chamber. The girls served tea and snacks, but no one was in the mood to eat them.
Who would have thought that half an hour ago, they were chatting and laughing in Shouning Palace; half an hour later, they were all sitting here, and the atmosphere was so solemn.
Concubine Liao's guess was correct. The actor was not a man of character. Before the fight even started, he had already attacked all of them, which made the women with sticks feel a little regretful: Such a handsome guy with red lips and white teeth.
, it’s a shame that I can’t start to torture him. Really, why are you so cowardly? You should give me a good beating, and then strike again if you can’t bear the pain.
At this moment, Mrs. Qian was reporting to Concubine Liao, while she secretly glanced at Aunt Feng from the corner of her eye: "Concubine Rong, the man said that he was in the team two days ago, and someone suddenly came to see him, and only said that he should let him
This time I came to the house to do something. Because the opera was in the evening, they came here to rehearse yesterday, so they had time. The man gave him a hundred taels of silver and told him to hide in the plum garden. If Aunt Xin went in,
Then he came out and asked her to miss her, and then used words to bring back old feelings..."
"You can guess these things, so there's no need to go into details to irritate people's ears."
Concubine Liao waved her hand to stop Qian from narrating this section in detail, and asked in a deep voice: "What's next? Is that actor really willing to give up his life for a hundred taels of silver? How dare you do such a crazy thing?"
"The concubine is right. The actor naturally didn't dare. He only said that if he was discovered, he himself would die without a burial place. The visitor then told him that if he was discovered, he would bite him back. He only said that it was Xin
His aunt led him over. Prince Duanqin was a prince and aristocrat, and he was the most reasonable. He only said that he didn't know why, and came to find out out of curiosity. Although there were punishments, he would not be disabled or fatal. He could get these one hundred taels of silver.
Already."
"So he's tempted?"
Concubine Liao was so angry that her eyes were burning. Qian said hurriedly: "He said that he was still a little hesitant. How could such a good thing in the world be possible? But the man said that Aunt Xin is the most favored by the prince now, but she still misses her old lover. If he can...
...can accomplish something, thus comforting Aunt Xin's heart. I don't know how many benefits Aunt Xin will give him in the future. By then, let alone a hundred taels, even a thousand taels, I'm afraid she won't be in his eyes..."
"This is complete nonsense."
Mrs. Liao slammed the table, and Mrs. Qian was so frightened that she dared not say anything anymore. Here, Mrs. Liao took a few breaths before she calmed down and asked in a deep voice: "Is it because of these sweet words that he has the audacity to agree?"
"Yes." Qian nodded.
: "Wealth and silk touch people's hearts. He is just an actor, and he is not a famous actor. He may not even be able to see a five-tael gold ingot in his life, let alone a hundred taels."
"Yes." Mrs. Liao picked up the tea cup and sneered: "With these one hundred taels, he can stop being such a low-life, and avoid having to experience those dirty things in the future. He is probably willing to kill people and set fires, not to mention
It’s just that if someone doesn’t discover something like this, maybe people and money can be gained..."
"What did grandma say?" Xin Nian interrupted Liao and stared at her: "Didn't you see what I did before? Why do you think he can get both people and money?"
"Ouch! I said something wrong and I didn't think it through carefully. Don't take it personally, sister." Ms. Liao smiled like a flower: "Of course I don't doubt you. What I mean is that this is probably a daydream of that bastard.
, so he dared to take risks."
"That's enough."
Concubine Liao was impatient to hear the two people fighting openly and secretly here. She stared at Qian and asked, "Has he confessed who was looking for him? And who instigated him to do this?"
"He said that he didn't know the identity of the person, and it was impossible for the other person to tell him, but seeing that the person was a woman disguised as a man, he thought he must be a girl from the house. If he was identified in person, he would be able to identify her."
"Identify in person?"
Concubine Liao frowned and glanced at Mrs. Liao calmly.
"In that case, what else is there to say? Let him identify him face to face."
Liao didn't hesitate at all, and made her decision righteously. Her attitude was so firm and magnanimous that even Xin Nian was surprised.
She couldn't help but glance at Aunt Feng, and thought to herself: She was probably the one who did this, but... why was grandma so straightforward? Could it be that Aunt Feng made her own decision, and was not under her orders? But Aunt Feng
She doesn't hate me that much, right? What good will it do her if I die?
Just as she was wondering, Mrs. Liao over there had already said to Mrs. Qian: "Okay, you can bring the girls in the house and let him identify them. That's right, Mrs. Xin, you said before that you bumped into a little girl who passed the news
Note, whose girl is that?"
"Back to the concubine, it's Feng'er, Aunt Feng's girl."
Xin Nian hurriedly stood up, but before he could finish his words, he saw Aunt Feng standing up suddenly and screaming: "You...you are such a mouthful, how could I do such a thing? You are clearly framed, otherwise you said, I...
