Chapter 356: Is it the third girl or the fourth girl?
Yu Xijiao walked in slowly with Mingyue and Qingyue.
Master Qingxin suddenly stood up: "Miss Yu?"
The incident in the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion was so big that even "extraordinary masters" like Zhenren Qingxin heard about it. The four girls in the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion were also involved.
The eldest girl was taken to a nunnery, the second girl was burned to death, and the third girl threw herself into the lake. The only one left was the fourth girl. Looking at the undersized person in front of her, she knew that she was not very old.
The only ones appearing here at this time should be the fourth girl from Zhengyuan Hou Mansion.
Yu Xijiao sat down on the chair in the middle, looked at the master and apprentice with faint eyes, and asked: "What happened?"
"Fourth girl, I really don't know what happened. I originally came here to pray for Miss Yu at the invitation of Marquis Xuanping and the second girl of Marquis Xuanping. I didn't expect that I was deceived into going to Zhengyuan Marquis's mansion. Now
Please ask the fourth girl to investigate the matter clearly." Master Qingxin calmed down and said with a serious look on his face.
"Did you get tricked?" Yu Xijiao asked with a half-smile.
"Yes, someone deliberately tricked Pindao into the Zhengyuan Marquis' Mansion. If the fourth girl doesn't believe it, she can go to the Xuanping Marquis' Mansion to inquire about this matter." Master Qingxin said hurriedly.
"Who should I ask?" Yu Xi's long eyelashes fluttered twice and she smiled.
"There is a woman who is about fifty years old. She is neither fat nor thin, and her height... is neither very tall nor very short. This woman tricked the poor man into coming here. The fourth girl can just go to the Xuanping Hou Mansion to check.
, and Marquis Xuanping and Miss Yu will also testify for Pindao."
The true way of pure heart.
Although this matter is mysterious, Master Qingxin feels that he can still find out clearly if he wants to. This matter is not his fault, but someone is deliberately taking advantage of him.
"The Xuanping Marquis Mansion and the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion are connected, but it is not possible for ordinary people to pass through the side entrances of the two mansions so familiarly." Yu Xijiao said softly.
"Yes, it must be someone who is familiar with the inside story. I just arrived at Xuanpinghou's Mansion. I don't know anything. How can I smoothly go from Xuanpinghou's Mansion to Zhengyuanhou's Mansion?" Master Qingxin breathed a sigh of relief and felt
This is to the point. It is impossible for an outsider to do this.
"So, did the real person offend someone?" Yu Xijiao said slowly.
Who did he offend? Qingxin's mind turned around and he suddenly understood.
"It's the third girl from the Xuanping Hou Mansion. It's her who wants to harm my master. It must be her." The one who reacted faster than her was the little Taoist nun. Before Master Qingxin could reply, the little Taoist nun had already said in a sharp voice.
She usually relied on Taoist Qingxin to make a profit, but today she was scared to death when she heard Yu Xijiao ask such a question and the words came out of her mouth.
"Do the three girls from the Xuanping Hou Mansion have a grudge against you?" Yu Xijiao slowly took the tea from Qingyue, took a sip, and continued to ask.
"Yes, she has a grudge against us and my master. She must have heard that my master came to the Xuanping Marquis Mansion because of her destiny, and deliberately harmed the master and tricked him into the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion.
It's her, it must be her, her destiny is evil, and so are her people." The little Taoist nun said without hesitation.
She just wants to leave Zhengyuan Hou Mansion now and just want to stay away from this matter.
Master Qingxin wanted to stop the little Taoist nun, but the little Taoist nun was usually smart, and now her words came out quickly. She wanted to speak, but the little Taoist nun had already finished her words and could not stop her.
He could only helplessly bow his head to Yu Xijiao: "This matter... may have something to do with Third Miss Yu. Please ask Fourth Miss to go to the Xuanping Marquis Mansion to find out more about it."
Yu Xijiao placed the tea cup in her hand heavily on the table and her face darkened: "A little Taoist nun, she keeps saying that the granddaughter of An and the eldest princess has a vicious destiny. Who gave you such courage?"
?”
Master Qingxin's heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself that it was not good. He lowered his head and said with a smile: "My little apprentice is ignorant and talks nonsense. Please forgive me, Miss Four."
"How can you destroy someone of royal blood by talking nonsense? If you don't talk nonsense, why don't you go directly to the palace to scold the Queen?" Qingyue snorted coldly and said.
Master Qingxin couldn't bear these words, his face changed drastically and he said: "I don't dare."
"I...I didn't say that." The little Taoist nun also reacted and responded hurriedly.
"Tell me about the grudge you have with Miss Yu." Yu Xijiao glanced at the pair of master and disciple coldly and asked.
"Pindao..." Master Qingxin stepped forward and was about to speak.
Yu Xijiao interrupted her: "Master Qingxin, it's better to stop talking and listen to the disciple first. Listen to the maid in the mansion and the mother-in-law said that it was the disciple who scared the madam to death and even beat her.
Madam, these things are outrageous to say. If we don’t explain things clearly, this matter will never go away."
The little Taoist nun was so frightened that her tears fell down, and she said sadly: "I really didn't mean it at the time. I didn't scare the madam, nor did I hit the madam. I just touched her slightly. I didn't expect her to be so unwell."
Okay, I...I really didn’t mean it, I didn’t know this was the wife of the Marquis of Zhengyuan Mansion.”
"Tell me what happened." Yu Xijiao said noncommittally.
Master Qingxin wanted to speak again, but saw the maid next to Yu Xijiao looking at her eagerly, so she had no choice but to shut up.
The little Taoist nun then told the whole story of the incident, from Qian Lizhen going up the mountain to perform rituals, to Yu Yuxi fainting and asking for help from a doctor, and then she said that Zhenren Qingxin inadvertently mentioned Yu Xijiao's fate, saying that Yu Xi
Jiao's fate is extremely evil and will harm her loved ones.
After that, Yu Yuxi and Qian Lizhen went back to their mansion. Not long after, the maid next to Qian Lizhen and the boy from the Xuanping Marquis Mansion came over and asked Master Qingxin to go to the mansion to perform a small ritual for Yu Xijiao to drive away evil spirits and even
After praying for blessings, at least Yu Xijiao's fate will be less evil.
The last thing is to enter the mansion...
The little Taoist nun told everything she knew clearly, fearing that if she spoke too late or if she didn't explain it in detail enough, the matter would fall on her.
When she finished speaking, the little Taoist nun cried: "I really didn't want to harm Mrs. Yu. I really didn't know she was Mrs. Yu. I thought she was in Xuanpinghou's mansion, and it was Xuanpinghou and Miss Yu."
I asked my master to come down the mountain, but we didn’t know anything and we were deceived.”
After saying that, I wiped away my tears.
"So, now many people know that Miss Yu has a terrible fate?" Yu Xijiao said.
The little Taoist nun nodded quickly. She was going to say one thing and the other. She didn't dare to hide anything: "When we went down the mountain, many ladies from aristocratic families were talking about this matter. They all said that the third girl of the Marquis of Xuanping had this fate.
Ge, if you don’t go to temples or Taoist temples, you may harm your family.”
Qingyue and Mingyue glared angrily at Master Qingxin, are they trying to force their girls to become a monk?
"Since Miss Yu's fate is so bad, what rituals should be done? What kind of evil can be driven out?" Yu Xijiao asked disapprovingly.
At this point, she has understood Yu Yuxi and Qian Lizhen's plan, and used the original incident to make everyone know. Even if her father still wants to stay, she will not be able to do it. If she is forced to become a monk, she will inevitably fall into the trap.
In their hands, life or death is decided by them.
These cousins are just as vicious as their older cousins.
"This...I don't know, maybe my master has a way." The little Taoist nun was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Master Qingxin.
"This...doing more rituals should be of some use." Master Qingxin said vaguely.
Yu Xijiao smiled and said slowly: "Mrs. Yu's situation is not very good. Even if you are talking about the chaos of heaven and earth, this matter happened because of you. A lady who was appointed by the imperial court was killed by both your master and apprentice.
They were angry and beaten, and in the end they lost their lives. Don’t say you are from lower levels of purity, even if you are a real person from higher level of purity, you will still have to bear your life.”
The little Taoist nun couldn't stand any longer and knelt down with a plop: "You really don't care about our affairs. It was the Xuanping Marquis Mansion who invited us here. It was that woman who framed us."
"There are so many women in the Zhengyuan and Xuanping Houses. It's not easy to find a mother-in-law. Besides, who knows if you just made it up randomly. When the time comes, just point to someone and he can take the blame for you. I think.
It's really good." Yu Xijiao said disapprovingly, "As for Marquis Xuanping, he invited you here, but he didn't let you scold or beat Mrs. Yu so rudely."
This means that Marquis Xuanping pushed the matter away completely.
"No...I'm not..." Master Qingxin also panicked, and sweat began to form on his forehead.
"As for Xuanpinghou's Mansion, I have to tell you what Xuanpinghou means. I'm not asking you to come here to pray for Miss Yu. I just want to find out who is behind you and instigating you to frame Miss Yu.
, now it’s a coincidence that this matter can be investigated together with the current matter, Zhengyuanhou Mansion and Xuanpinghou Mansion will report the murder case together. "
For the last three words, Yu Xijiao deliberately prolonged her voice. Her beautiful face carried an elegant smile, but when the corners of her lips were raised, there was a bit of indescribable coldness.
Qingxin Zhenren shrewdly fought a cold war. She usually cheated and drank among the aristocratic families, but she had never encountered such a thing, a murder case, and it was the murder case of a sworn wife. This was not
She can bear it, and hearing this, Marquis Xuanping is also looking for them to verify the matter.
The so-called inviting them to Xuanpinghou Mansion turned out to be to cause trouble for them.
After thinking about this clearly, the little Taoist nun collapsed: "My master has devoted himself wholeheartedly to saving the third girl of Xuanping Hou Mansion. Why... why is this happening..."
The little Taoist nun didn't know much, so she thought Master Qingxin was really interested in helping.
"But you knocked Mrs. Yu out of the house. I'm afraid you will have to be cut into pieces in the end to silence the world. Marquis Zhengyuan has served the country all his life, and now there is only one Mrs. Yu left.
, I was actually treated like this by you, as all the servants who followed Mrs. Yu at that time can prove."
Mingyue said slowly, word by word.
"Master, save me, master, save me, I'm not, I didn't..." The little Taoist nun cried and fell to the ground, pulling the sleeves of Qingxin's robe and sobbing.
She is still young, she still wants to live, she doesn't want to be cut to pieces by a thousand cuts.
Seeing the little Taoist nun like this, Master Qingxin tried to help her up with trembling fingers, but her body became weak and she sat down directly on the ground with a "plop".
"Master Qingxin, why don't you tell the truth, so as not to make mistakes in the end." Yu Xijiao knew the heat was about to get better and smiled coldly.
