Chapter four hundred and eighteen, father, can you let me ask a few words
Yu Ruiwen was lying on the bed, the gauze beside him fell, and he looked through the gauze at his three daughters.
The eldest daughter's face was pale and frightened, and she didn't speak, but her eyes were firmer than before. She stood firmly with the third daughter, less evasive and timid in the past. At this moment, the eldest daughter could almost be said to be stronger than the second daughter.
.
When the second daughter was describing this matter, her face was equally pale, her words paused from time to time, and her eyes were gloomy. The gentle second daughter in the past seemed to have changed.
The third daughter was the calmest, her eyes were as clear as before, her expression remained unchanged, her eyes remained unchanged, and she calmly listened to the second daughter's report.
Three daughters, three temperaments. Although the curtain has been dropped now, he looks a little more clearly than usual. Yu Ruiwen feels that he has really failed as a human being.
Maybe I am really just a joke from beginning to end!
The corner of his lips curled up slightly, revealing a hint of sarcasm. What a joke? After his sister left, he has always been a joke in the circle of the aristocratic family in Beijing...
"Go and bring Zhao An." After hearing Yu Yuxi's report, Yu Ruiwen ordered.
The chief steward withdrew and asked the servant to bring Zhao An over.
Zhao An came very quickly. When he entered the door, he found that there were several other female relatives in the house. He did not dare to look around randomly. He quickly lowered his head and went to the bed to salute respectfully: "Young man, I have met the Marquis."
"Tell me, what did you bury in our yard?" Yu Ruiwen asked in a low voice.
"I..." Zhao An became uneasy, "I... didn't bury anything. Lord Marquis... did he make a mistake?"
"Bring the mother-in-law in." Yu Ruiwen didn't want to talk nonsense to him and directly ordered.
The mother-in-law was escorted here just now, and now she is outside the door, being pushed to kneel down in front of the bed.
"Master Hou, this servant... really saw Mr. Zhao burying things. That day he... he entered the backyard for the reason of visiting Mrs. Zhou. Although no one else saw him burying things, there must be... other people
I saw him entering the yard." The mother-in-law said hurriedly,
"I didn't..." Zhao An panicked.
"Is there any? Let's ask someone to investigate again. If Zhao An really finds out that this matter has anything to do with you, I will definitely not take him lightly." Yu Ruiwen's angry voice came from behind the curtain, "When the time comes, I'll punish you first."
Let’s talk about the rest after a while.”
"Master Hou, the birthday of the man above should be Zhao An's birthday. No one else in the mansion knows his birthday." The chief steward said solemnly, "Since he hasn't spoken yet, Master Hou will just have someone beat him up."
, now it is considered to be a solid proof.”
Why is it considered to be irrefutable evidence?
Zhao An was angry and anxious, but he still knelt down in a sensible manner. He had hesitated not to go to Beijing before because he was afraid that something like this would happen, but now that he had come to this point, he couldn't leave without leaving.
"Master Hou, this... paper was indeed buried by me, but I had no ill intentions. I just buried everything that happened back then and stopped thinking about it."
Zhao An knows the way of affairs.
Yu Xijiao curled her lips. Sure enough, this person was someone who knew business. She had calculated the time. When Qian was frustrated, how could he give up? At that time, it was the best time to go all out to deal with Mrs. Zhou. From the letter to
Mrs. Zhou's hometown, if you come from your hometown, you should arrive early.
Unfortunately, Zhao An came late.
Judging from this situation, I probably don't want to go through the troubled waters of the Hou Mansion, but I have to come now.
As long as you can cherish your life...
"Father, can I ask a few questions?" Yu Xijiao bowed to Yu Ruiwen in the tent and asked.
After a moment of silence in the tent, a voice came out: "You ask."
"Father, my daughter also wants to ask a question." Yu Yuxi hurriedly followed, fearing that Yu Xijiao would ask something bad later, and she could deal with it immediately.
"You ask." Yu Ruiwen looked at his second daughter's overly eager eyes and smiled bitterly.
"Mr. Zhao, what is written on the things you buried? One is your birthday, and whose is the other?" Yu Yuxi asked Yu Xijiao first.
"This...this is..." Zhao An panicked.
"Is there anything I can't say? Since Mr. Zhao has done it, he will agree to it directly. No matter what, my father will uphold justice." Yu Yuxi calmed down and said, now she had calmed down, and she always felt that this matter
It has something to do with Yu Xijiao, so when I think about it, I'm not so scared.
Everything is Yu Xijiao's fault.
"No... this is... I wrote this blindly." Zhao An lowered his head and knew at a glance that he was not telling the truth.
Yu Yuxi sneered: "Mr. Zhao, who are you still helping to hide this matter? Let me guess, since you buried this thing in our house, it must have something to do with our house. In this case, we will
Do a good search and find out which person makes you care so much."
A thorough investigation of the whole mansion is nothing to the Xuanpinghou Mansion.
Yu Yuxi pressed forward step by step, forcing Zhao An in the direction prepared in advance. Yu Ruiwen, who was on the bed, looked at his second daughter like this, and his heart became more and more sour. The second daughter who used to be gentle and decent now looked really like Qian.
picture.
His eyes turned from Yu Yuxi's face to Yu Xijiao's face. Compared to Yu Yuxi, the younger daughter looked more like his own flesh and blood. In the past... he had never seemed to pay so much attention to the faces of his two daughters...
"I...I said..." Zhao An was forced to have no choice but to grit his teeth and wanted to say Zhou's name.
"Wait a minute." Yu Xijiao suddenly interrupted Zhao An's words and said bluntly, "Mr. Zhao, which family are you engaged to have a girl who has a yin year, a yin month, a yin day, and a yin time?"
"Third sister..." Yu Yuxi shouted violently, her eyes almost blazing with fire. The matter was about to happen, but Yu Xijiao ruined it again.
"Second sister won't let me ask? Or won't you let me say that the birthday girl is already a dead person?" Yu Xi looked sideways at Yu Yuxi.
A dead person? Zhao An shook his body and almost fainted.
Why is Zhou's birth date a dead person?
"Did the third sister leak the matter to him on purpose?" Yu Yuxi said through gritted teeth.
"Second sister is wrong. This is originally a fact and he buried it. It doesn't matter whether it is a fact or not. Doesn't he, the person who buried it, know that this is a shady marriage? And he also wants to use the blessing of our Xuanping Marquis Mansion to give
He is seeking the reincarnation of that woman in his own secret marriage? This matter... is a big deal."
Yu Xijiao faced Yu Yuxi's accusation calmly.
"Second sister, this kind of thing is detrimental to moral integrity. Who dares to do this kind of thing openly and bury it in other people's homes? This is cutting off other people's luck. To fill it in one's own family is almost to destroy the family and the entire clan.
"Second sister, do you think there is still room for redemption?" Yu Xijiao continued to ask.
Hatred that destroys families and genocide?
Zhao An's face was really ugly. He looked behind Yu Yuxi in panic and shook his body. He understood these words, but when put together, the meaning was completely different from his previous intention.
"Zhao An, do you want to curse our Xuanping Marquis Mansion?" the chief steward angrily scolded.
"Mr. Zhao, did someone deliberately ask you to plot against our Xuanpinghou Mansion?" Yu Xijiao asked, "I don't know which family our Xuanpinghou Mansion has provoked, but someone actually used you as a Zhou.
Madam’s cousin took action against our family.”
"I...I didn't. I...I just buried a piece of jade pendant and my birth date. I didn't do anything else." Zhao An's mind was spinning rapidly. The other horoscope he buried was not Zhou's, but his.
He couldn't recognize a dead person. He had a feeling that if he did, it would be dangerous for him.
He only seeks wealth and does not want to sacrifice his life.
He regretted that he was forced to go to the capital. He should have escaped halfway. Why did he have to come to the capital to wade into the troubled waters? He felt that Mrs. Hou's hand was so long and so effective. If he went to the capital and cooperated with her a little, he would definitely be able to get it.
Big fortune?
Zhao An really regretted it. Why did he still have delusions at that time?
Even if you were unwilling to go to Beijing before, even if you are forced to leave your hometown, you can still go to other places. Although you don't have much money, you will still be able to survive.
"Why did you bury your horoscope and jade pendant?" the chief steward asked sharply.
"I...I..." Zhao An was sweating profusely. He only knew that he couldn't say that he had buried another dead person's birthday, and he really didn't know this birthday.
The birth date of his Zhou family is on the health prescription.
Now he couldn't explain clearly. Even if he said it was the Zhou family, it would only make Marquis Xuanping angry, and he would not even give himself a chance to defend himself.
"Who wants to harm our Xuanping Hou Mansion?" Yu Xijiao said leisurely.
"Yes...yes, someone wants to harm the Xuanpinghou Mansion. I...I just arrived at the Xuanpinghou Mansion, and then...someone came over and asked me to do this. I...I really don't know why.
Do, but...but I am not familiar with the place, and I have just arrived in the capital, so I cannot cause trouble to my cousin and cousin-in-law, let alone know that such a thing will happen."
Zhao An stammered, he was a bit quick-witted, he was making it up while thinking, trying hard to get Yu Ruiwen's sympathy. He was sincerely harmless to the Xuanping Hou Mansion, but now he was just deceived.
This explanation sounds a bit tough.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Why does this matter have something to do with harming our family?" Yu Yuxi couldn't stand it and scolded sternly. If she had known that this person named Zhao was so useless, she wouldn't have been so calculating in the first place.
It's all this guy named Zhao who is causing trouble.
"It really does matter. It's true. There was a maid that day... A maid came over and told me to do this. I... I was afraid of trouble. I thought it wasn't a big deal. I just buried my birth date. Even if something happened
It was me... something happened to me, I... I just obediently made excuses and went into the backyard and found the designated place to bury it. I... I really don't know anything."
Zhao An said aggrievedly, wiped the corners of his eyes hard, and wiped a trace of tears from the corners of his eyes: "Master Hou, I really don't know anything, I... I am just timid and afraid of getting into trouble... I thought this matter was just...
…It’s not a big deal, at most it’s my own business. I’ve just arrived in the capital and Xuanpinghou, and I’m afraid of falling when I’m walking.”
What he said was extremely rogue, and he pushed the matter away from himself completely. Yu Yuxi's eyes widened angrily, and she said sharply: "Where is that maid? It's clearly your intention. It's you who wants to harm our Hou Mansion! Father, first of all
If you blame this person severely and then ask questions again, you will not believe that he is not telling the truth."
Yu Yuxi was angry because of Zhao An's shameless words. She was brought to the topic of "framing the Xuanping Hou Mansion" without hesitation, and she actually stepped in and said it.
When he heard that execution was about to take place, Zhao An was also driven into panic. He suddenly pointed in one direction and said loudly: "Master Marquis, it's her, it's her, it's this maid, she harmed me."
