Chapter 187 Adding fuel to the fire
"Whether Concubine Chang did it on purpose depends on whom the Concubine Chang had a grudge against and whom she had close relationships with! But after so many years, there were probably not many people there back then, and there were not many clues available to Your Highness." Man Yue told the truth.
Concubine Chang happened to have a fetal aura when the empress dowager was about to go to the empress. In order to make the play more realistic, the queen was cruel to refuse to give Princess Weiai the antidote, so she could bear it until she died. Concubine Chang was the empress dowager's niece, and so coincidentally paid tribute to the empress dowager at that time. The most important point is-
With the Empress Dowager's trust in Concubine Chang, she would never doubt that Concubine Chang was deliberately delaying time, but she was afraid that the Queen would not doubt it either.
Sometimes, the more impossible a person is, the more suspicious it is.
"Your Highness, I'm just guessing that it's not easy to get out old cases, it must be difficult. Moreover, Concubine Chang is still dead. Your Highness is the most urgent task now to be the Prince's Young Guard. Although Your Highness does not want to face the Prince's Young Guard, but in fact, Your Highness thinks twice."
Now, maybe even Chunyue didn't expect that she would learn about Princess Weiai tonight, which finally made her understand why Lin Jian's attitude towards the queen came.
Lin Jian's eyes were hidden indescribable complex pain.
"Yue'er, your choice is just to be on the same front with me. What if I want to keep you by my side and be my female official?" Lin Jian wanted to say even more, let her be her own concubine.
Full Moon shook his head gently, Lin Jianmeng broke his heart.
"I'm sorry, Your Highness. The relationship between men and women is extremely luxurious for me. I don't even have the strength to look up to you, let alone touching me. I chose to stand on the side of Your Highness. It's purely a partnership and has nothing to do with anything else. Please forgive me."
The tone of the Moon was light and cold, and Lin Jian could hear a hint of alienation.
After all, her heart still excluded him, only existed in cooperation with each other, not in love.
This is not what Lin Jian wants to see and hear.
Of course—
"Okay, I respect your choices and decisions. I will not go to the front of my father to ask you to be my female official. What you said today is that I will investigate as soon as possible. As for how you learned this news, I will not follow the truth. I will give you time to make other choices."
Lin Jian's voice was hoarse, and his usual gentle gaze was shining with stars at this moment, and there was still blood surging in his eyes.
At this moment, Man Yue didn't know what to say to Lin Jian. It was hard to express just a simple nod.
Seeing Lin Jian turn and leave, his slender figure gradually disappearing into the vast night, and the heart of the moon inexplicably became desolate and cold.
She has become increasingly involved in the bloody massacre of fame and fortune.
At the beginning, she was still in the dark, and others were in the light. With the development of her, her identity had changed to the light and was at the forefront of the storm, but this road can only be followed.
——
Before dawn, Tieying came back in a hurry.
Seeing that Tieying had a scratch on her back, Man Yue ordered Ximeng to find golden sore medicine for her to treat.
Tieying was carelessly pushing away Ximeng's golden sore medicine, looking indifferent.
"How could this little injury be difficult for the children of the world? But the second wife is really bad.
"Why is it bad?" Man Yue also heard Lin Dongyao say something yesterday, but Tieying still has to say the specific details.
"Don't worry, Miss, I came back only when the second wife limped away from the Anping Prince's Mansion."
"Lie?" Ximeng and Ning Jing looked at each other, full of surprise.
"Yes, the second wife's two subordinates went first. I was knocked out and blocked her mouth and tied her to one side. Later, the second wife came. Because the eldest lady told me to hold her down, I was using light skills to pretend to be a ghost and scared the second wife. The second wife didn't dare to scream and kept begging me to let her go. She even sprained her ankle to avoid it. Later, I found an opportunity to knock her out and calculated the time. When it was almost dawn, the eldest wife woke up, and her two subordinates woke up, and the eldest wife's face turned pale."
After Tieying finished speaking, Ximeng and Ning Jing became even more curious.
"You can still have light skills?"
"How can you pretend to be a ghost?"
"Xi Meng, Ning Jing, you go out and guard first." Man Yue interrupted the two, obviously saying something to Tieying alone.
Ningjing and Ximeng immediately left the room silently.
Only Man Yue and Tieying were left in the house.
"How did you get the injury on the back of your hand?" Man Yue asked Tieying casually.
"I pretended to be a ghost and scared the eldest lady and accidentally injured her. Miss, this little injury is nothing." Tie Ying still had a carefree tone and attitude.
Man Yue smiled and said indifferently, "Don't always talk about the children of the world. This is the Marquis' Mansion after all, you are very brave and dare to scare the eldest lady."
Tieying smiled and was a little nervous inexplicably. She couldn't guess whether the young lady in front of her was praising her or belittle her.
"Tieying, my body and hair are my parents. I don't care about my own body, let alone expect others to cherish you."
Tieying was stunned, lowered her head, and said embarrassedly, "What the eldest lady said is that Tieying has not read many books. Tieying sometimes wants to say what the eldest lady can say, but she can't say it, and she is anxious. But Tieying remembers that she will cherish herself in the future."
Man Yue nodded with a smile. In fact, Tieying was not really as handsome as she saw on the surface. She was just using strength to disguise her true fragility in her heart. No one was born invulnerable to swords and guns. Whether it was created by current affairs or changed after being tortured by betrayal, Tieying herself was just a person with clear love and hate.
"Tieying, I want to ask you, how did you meet Linghu Qiuyu and Aunt Wu?"
Mon Moon didn’t have time to ask Tieying yesterday. Judging from the reactions of Aunt Wu and Linghu Qiuyu, Tieying’s relationship with them was not simple.
Speaking of Aunt Wu and Linghu Qiuyu, Tieying's face darkened, lowered her head and spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Tieying knew that her own people were slight, so she could only talk to the eldest lady. When she said it, others would only say that Tieying was a lunatic and slandered Aunt Wu and Miss Four in this way."
Tieying's words vaguely verified the speculation of the Full Moon. Tieying should know a lot of secrets between Aunt Wu and Linghu Qiuyu.
"Tieying's father was the guardian of Lei Yuanwai, the county town. His father walked in the world in his early years, but later the court intervened in the affairs of the world. His father was disheartened and went to Lei Yuanwai's house to work as a guardian. Later, Aunt Wu brought Linghu Qiuyu to the door. At first, Aunt Wu knew Lei Yuanwai's original wife, but not long after, Lei Yuanwai's original wife went there, and Lei Yuanwai actually fell in love with Linghu Qiuyu.
Aunt Wu intends to betroth Linghu Qiuyu to Mr. Lei, and also took a lot of money from Mr. Lei. However, the day before the marriage, the Lei family got into trouble. However, Aunt Wu and Linghu Qiuyu left early. Mr. Lei was searched and executed. Most of the money in the family disappeared. Everyone looked at his father with suspicion. His father was depressed and fell ill.
I think when Aunt Wu and Linghu Qiuyu first came to Lei's house, they were very polite to their servants. Linghu Qiuyu often chatted with me, but she was very willing to inquire about the Lei family. From Lei's house to Mrs. Lei, I would tell her that she felt that she was straightforward and straightforward, and her temperament was quite similar to the children of the world, but who knew-"
Speaking of this, Tieying shook her head helplessly.
"Do you suspect that Mrs. Lei's death is related to Aunt Wu and Linghu Qiuyu? Also, is it also related to their reports by Lei Yuanwai?" Man Yue guessed something from Tie Ying's expression.
"Miss, although Lei Yuanwai has a bad temper, he is not bad by nature and is generous and righteous, especially Mrs. Lei, who is gentle and kind, and treats our servants very well. When she died, the people in the Lei family were very sad. But after Mrs. Lei died, Aunt Wu and Linghu Qiuyu's attitude changed instantly, completely like a different person.
Aunt Wu used to speak in a small and small voice, as if she was afraid of scaring others, but since Mrs. Lei died, Aunt Wu was pointing fingers at the Lei family and had to make decisions on everything. Linghu Qiuyu turned against him. If it weren't for the Lei family's old men, she would have been driven away by her. That's it. Several handsome maids from the Lei family were driven away by Linghu Qiuyu for various reasons."
Everything Tieying said was consistent with Linghu Qiuyu, whom he knew at the moment, and it is unknown whether there were any other hidden stories.
"I see."
Man Yue nodded. It seemed that Aunt Wu was really pretending to be cowardly and incompetent, but in fact she was a tigress who ate people and didn't spit bones.
"Tieying, are you afraid?" Man Yue suddenly asked Tieying.
Tieying knew that Aunt Wu and Linghu Qiuyu had so many things, so the mother and the mother would not give up. They would probably use the Lei family's means to deal with and frame Tieying.
"Don't worry, Miss, Tieying will never implicate the lady," Tieying patted her chest and promised.
The moon pursed her lips and smiled, and spoke with a clear voice.
"Since you are from Jianjia Pavilion, I will not ignore you. Just remember that when you meet Aunt Wu and Linghu Qiuyu in the future, you don't have to hide. You should greet you and say goodbye. The more you do this, the less they dare to act rashly! Now you are from Jianjia Pavilion. Aunt Wu and Linghu Qiuyu are not stupid. You won't touch you easily. Even if you really want to touch you, you will use the hands of others."
After hearing the words of Man Yue, Tieying still had only a few understandings.
"Miss, Tieying listens to you." Tieying Zheng pointed.
"Okay, you've been busy all night last night and went back to rest first." Man Yue said, and got up and walked outside. Tieying looked at Man Yue in confusion.
"Miss, where are you going so early?"
"Go and see the second wife who was scared by you last night, and please feel free." Man Yue's tone was faint, as if she was talking about something very ordinary.
