Chapter 28

The next morning, Xie Zhan received a reply from the Lu family and the Qin family, and they both returned the post.

The two posts were rejected at the same time, and Xie Zhan was puzzled.

He could understand the Qin family refused to invite him. After all, the Zhao family had already broken off the engagement with the Qin family. The Zhao family and the three families of Zhao, Lu and Xie were no longer related to the Qin family. Moreover, the Qin family had the arrogance of military generals, so it was reasonable not to accept the peace talks organized by him.

But the post I posted to the Lu family was also returned, which was beyond his expectations.

In his prediction, as his fiancée, Lu Songli's status is now being provoked. In addition, the Lu family had just rubbed the Zhao family on the ground yesterday. He felt that no matter what the reason, the Lu family should agree to the invitation and then come to negotiate with pride.

At present, the Lu family seemed to refuse to negotiate, as if they were completely unwilling to care about the thoughts and opinions of the Xie family and his fiancé. Xie Zhan keenly noticed that something he didn't know had happened.

Just as Xie Zhan was still thinking about possible problems, the servant in his yard ran towards him, "It's not good, no, no, the eldest master!"

"What happened?"

"Ms. Zhao committed suicide by cutting his wrist in the middle of the night last night. It is said that blood flowed all over the floor, dyeing the floor of the room red."

After the initial surprise, Xie Zhan asked calmly, "What else?"

He did not ask if Zhao Yutan was dead, and the person was definitely still there. The Zhao family would definitely not let Zhao Yutan die like this. If she died, the Zhao family would really lose all their money. However, this time, the wrist cut and the previous hanging, the same trick had been done twice. If the previous time was just a show, then the Zhao family would definitely not dare to fool people anymore.

"The maid with the bed was awakened by the smell of blood and realized something was wrong. The imperial physician guessed that Miss Zhao had just waited for the maid with the bed to sleep before moving her hands."

"The Zhao family hired an imperial physician?"

"Yes, the doctors hired outside shook their heads after seeing it. The Zhao family had to hold the ginseng and hang their lives, and then went to the palace to ask for the imperial physician."

"What's going on with the Zhao family now?"

"Miss Zhao is still in a coma. The Imperial Doctor said that if he can wake up, he can live. If he can't wake up, he can't live."

After hearing what the servant said, Xie Zhan fell into deep thought. Did he guess wrong? The Zhao family took off? Zhao Yutan couldn't stand it, so he really committed suicide? But his intuition denied his guess.

Then, this was still intentional for the Zhao family. The Zhao family spent a lot of money this time, and they were just to put it to death before they could live, and this "life" also needed an opportunity. Xie Zhan thought again that the Zhao family's decisive approach was not like Zhao Wenkuan's style, but like someone was sure to protect him...

He narrowed his eyes slightly and ordered, "Go and ask for information about the Zhao family's follow-up information! Also, ask about the visitors at home in the past two days, and where the master has been to meet whom."

Not long after, the news came from his people.

Because Miss Zhao left a suicide note before committing suicide, saying that her reputation was defiled by the incident of falling into the water, she had already developed ambitions of death: Later, the family was slandered and impeached for her, and she wanted to solve the problem but returned in vain. Her behavior may even bring a second blow to the family, and she felt that she had no face to live in the world.

Mrs. Zhao Luo went to the yamen alone and asked the Chang'an Order to order the arrest of the slandered her daughter's mouth that had recently spread rumors and slandered her daughter. Given that Zhao Yutan is still unconscious and is very likely to be unable to wake up, the Chang'an Order agreed. At this time, the yamen runners were arresting people everywhere, and Chang'an City was in a mess.

Xie Zhan could see at a glance that the Zhao family was doing a trick of killing two birds with one stone. One could frame the Lu family and then directly defeat the rumors. The other could force the Xie family, but in fact, it gave the Xie family a chance to withdraw from the marriage again. After all, the Zhao family did everything for the Lu family.

Another thing that Xie Zhan asked for investigation just now also came to an end. When he saw Zhao Wenkuan's name on the visitor list, his face was slightly dark. His father accepted the Zhao family's surrender. No wonder the Zhao family dared to act so radically.

Xie Zhan was in a bad mood at this time, and his father was really too anxious. He clearly said that this matter was not urgent, so he would take a look at it slowly, and he would not be in a hurry to make a conclusion! This was also the first time he had experienced the pain of being a young clan leader.

Xie Mingtang: It’s not that he is anxious. It’s because the Zhao family gave too much, so it’s hard for him to refuse.

Now that things have come to this, Xie Zhan plans to take a good look at how the Zhao family will continue to sing this drama!

People's joys and sorrows are not connected. Compared with the cloudy Zhao family, the Lu family seems peaceful and peaceful.

Brother Xu left the city early in the morning. After all, he still had to take care of his family's livelihood of killing pigs. Lu Desheng got up alone and took the guests. On weekdays, he had to go to court, but he got up early. After seeing off Brother Xu, he went back to the house to rest.

Because today is a day off, her father didn't have to go to the Censorate to dig Mao. Lu Songli wrote a prescription early in the morning, and asked him to go to Dr. Zhou to get the medicine, and then boiled two large pots of Chinese herbal shampoo.

Lu Songli pulled her mother to wash her hair and used one of the pots. In the other pot, she asked her servants to scoop the boiled medicine into a wooden bucket and mentioned that the yard was used for her father.

In ancient times, women had long hair because of their childhood, and their hair was wide enough to reach their waists, but because of their poor physical foundation and poor hair quality. As the saying goes, if the hair is blood, it is expected that her hair is not good. When she takes medicine to maintain her body well, she will use the secret recipe of Chinese medicine to nourish her hair, and the hair quality will definitely improve.

In ancient times, washing hair was a big project. There was no hair dryer here. Such a long hair could not be taken down within an hour or two from washing to drying.

Didn't you notice that in order to do this major project, the court invented a day of rest? As the name suggests, this day is for washing the officials' hair and bathing. Her father's day of rest and resting on ten days, which means that her father only washes his hair every ten days.

Later women had some obsession with cleanliness, and Lu Songli was no exception. She asked her to wash her hair once every ten days, but she couldn't do it. Before she wore it, she washed her hair once the next day. Here, washing once every five days was the limit she could tolerate. Not to mention that her hair was not good, it was the type that was frizzy and oily. When Mo Bing combed her hair, she liked to apply osmanthus hair oil on it, and she was greasy and shiny. She couldn't think about it anymore. When she thought about it, she felt a chill.

"Don't say, the hair smells quite nice after washing the medicine juice." Her mother and daughter lie on the couch to dry their hair.

"That's it." Lu Songli said just now that this recipe is a secret hair-raising recipe she exchanged for before. It contains more than ten Chinese herbal medicines such as Polygonum multiflorum, dried ginger, and Angelica. Among them, Polygonum multiflorum has a good portion, so the taste is of course good. Moreover, using this recipe to wash your hair frequently, it also has the effect of black hair.

The news of Zhao Yutan's suicide by cutting his wrists reached the Lu Mansion. The Lu family had dried their hair and were preparing to have a meal.

Lu Songli curled her lips, and it was still the same thing. She told her in advance, don’t always use this trick. It turns out that it’s a waste of time!

Her mother, Jiang, shook her head after hearing this, "Come again? It's only been a few days since the last time I hanged her. This time I cut my wrist and bleed it? Isn't it another cover?"

Lu Songli smiled, "That's not possible. I'll hire an imperial physician, which alarmed the palace. Zhao Yutan must have been cut, and blood must have flowed a lot." Zhao Yutan suffered a lot, which was certain.

"Master, Madam, Second Miss, Miss Zhao also left a suicide note." The servant who was inquiring about the news said with a bitter face.

"What did the suicide note say?"

"The general meaning is that she has lost her reputation for falling into the water, and she has already developed ambitions of death: Later, the family was slandered and impeached for her. She wanted to apologize and explain, but she returned without success. When she thought that her behavior might even bring a second blow to the family, she felt that she had no face to live in the world."

Lu Songli said, it was such a big pot of dirty water! Look, what apart from the words, both openly and secretly, isn’t it just that the father and daughter forced her to death?

Pa! Jiang was so angry that he slapped the chopsticks on the table, "What does she mean?"

This suicide note is a whole story that leads to war, which really makes people think a lot.

"My grandma, don't be angry." Lu Songli sat close to her and touched her back to calm down. The suicide note was indeed meaningful, but they did not name it, so they should not take the seat.

"My daughter is right. I can write the suicide note as I like. I don't specify a name on it. What does it have to do with us? Don't react so fiercely." Lu Desheng was also like an old god. Humph, the Zhao family has just the trick.
