Mrs. Yu's Zhuangzi has always been in the hands of her confidants. To be honest, she took money from An to buy these three Zhuangzi, and then arranged for her confidants to take charge of them.
After the incident at Zhengyuan Hou Mansion came out, Mrs. Yu was imprisoned. The stewards in these villages immediately did not dare to take the lead. Even Mrs. Yu had an incident. They dared not say anything and acted cautiously.
I'm afraid that the old lady who is now in charge of the house will get hold of something.
There is a courtyard of the master's house in Zhuangzi. In the past, when the old lady came to live here, she would live here.
When night falls, most people in the village have gone to bed, and the yard of the master's house is completely dark. If the master is not around, no lights will be lit here at night.
A dark figure quickly rolled into the yard, entered the yard, and carefully crouched under a big tree in the yard. It remained motionless for a long time, as if the person was not there at all.
There was not a trace of movement in the yard, only the sound of the wind blowing, the leaves were scattered, and some fell down one after another, falling to pieces on the ground.
The black shadow finally moved again, and quickly arrived in front of the main room. The locked door opened in a few seconds. The black shadow cautiously avoided the side and lay motionless at the foot of the steps, looking like a stone.
.
For a long time, there was no movement, and no one came into the yard to check.
The black shadow appeared again. He went directly to the door, pushed it open and entered. He did it in one go and with extremely neat movements. He lay quietly under the window and was silent again. This black shadow was very patient. After waiting for a long time, he came out of his arms.
Carefully take out the fire stick, blow it and it will light up.
This is the main room. Go inside to find the inner room. In the middle of the inner room is a bed.
The shadow was a masked man in black. He approached cautiously, looked around, and placed the fire folding piece in a fixed place behind the bed.
There is a gauze curtain on the bed, and it may catch fire if you are not careful.
Don't get too close to the gauze curtain. From such a distance, you can faintly see the wall behind the bed.
The so-called front and back are not actually clear. Pillows were placed on both ends of the bed, and it was impossible to tell whether it was the head or the foot of the bed.
The man in black took out a small hammer from his arms and carefully knocked the bricks one by one. Finally, there was a hollow echo from a brick. This brick was empty.
The man in black was overjoyed and looked at the location. Sure enough, it was at the head of the bed. That's it.
I put the small hammer in place, took out another tool, and pried it a few times. After prying the bricks loose, I removed the outer bricks. Sure enough, I took out something wrapped in black cloth, wide and flat.
At first glance, I knew it was paper and it should be what I was looking for.
The man in black carefully put away the black cloth bag, and then took a closer look at the fire folder. There was nothing inside except the black cloth bag, which was wide and loose.
After checking it carefully, he took out a small cloth bag from his arms, which happened to be black as well. After putting it in, he refilled the bricks so that no one could tell that it had been pried. He had also pried it off just now.
Very careful, just to recover in the end.
After everything was done, I went out and blew out the fire. I was not in a hurry to leave. I opened the window to let in the wind and dissipate the smell of the fire in the house. Then I closed the window again, went out and left, and finally put the lock on the door.
At the door, the man in black left quickly.
The courtyard became quiet. No one knew that anyone had been here, and no one thought that the things hidden inside could be changed again and again.
The thing arrived in front of Yu Xijiao.
A black cloth bag, what a coincidence, it is actually a black cloth bag.
Starting from Mrs. Yu's temperament, I thought that if a person like her really hid something, she would definitely not lie behind others. Even close friends would be worried. At this time, it is best to be alone together.
The black cloth bag is simple and can hide things without being discovered.
More convenient to use than boxes and the like.
Opening it, what he took out was actually just a thin notebook. If it weren't for Mrs. Yu's name written on it, Yu Xijiao would have almost thought it was a mistake.
This is equivalent to a daily life record, written by Mrs. Yu herself. Mrs. Yu didn't know much before. After moving to Beijing, Mrs. Yu also practiced it carefully in order to talk to other ladies.
It took a while, but it was only visible.
The handwriting is not good.
The recorded timeline is about two months before Yu Lanxuan’s accident.
What is recorded in the daily record is actually relatively simple. If it is really explained in detail, it is that when she discovered that Yu Lanyan and Chu Zihan were pregnant, Mrs. Yu recorded Yu Lanyan’s crying words, saying that she was willing to be a concubine and Chu Zihan’s concubine.
Mrs. Tai made it happen.
Mrs. Yu would not agree to having her own granddaughter as a concubine, so she would discuss with Ning how to make Yu Lanyan the main wife.
When he was anxious and annoyed, Chu Zihan came to visit and said that he would be responsible for marrying Yu Lanyan. He said that he had always liked Yu Lanyan, not Yu Lanxuan, and that Yu Lanxuan was ordered by his father.
Although Mrs. Yu was very happy to hear this, she felt that it was empty talk because Yu Lanxuan's identity could not be a concubine.
Chu Zihan then asked Mrs. Yu and Mrs. Ning to cooperate with him, saying that it would be possible and let them believe him.
After the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were dubious, they cooperated with Chu Zihan's wishes and accused An of having an affair with someone in charge of affairs, and imprisoned An and Yu Lanxuan, who had just entered the filial period.
Later, something happened in Anguo Palace.
Later, Chu Zihan came to the house and expressed that he wanted to marry Yu Lanyan.
But this matter was unreasonable, so several people worked together to find a justifiable reason, and decided to send Yu Lanxuan to the door of Xin Kangbo Mansion first.
Mrs. Yu and the Ning family even laid a poisonous plan...
Yu Xijiao read it carefully twice, her eyes condensed, and finally turned to the last page. There was no writing on it, but there was a piece of paper sandwiched inside.
Open, Chu Zihan's font.
Chu Zihan promised that something would happen to Anguo Gongfu soon, and asked to marry Yu Lanyan as his wife. Below is the signature and time.
This was Chu Zihan's guarantee to Mrs. Yu, and also the basis for them to cooperate with him with peace of mind.
Yu Xijiao's breathing couldn't help but quicken. Anyone who looked at it could see that Chu Zihan was the leader in this matter. He predicted everything, everything in Anguo Duke's mansion.
With his identity, how could he predict everything in this, unless he was involved in it and was the most important part.
She slammed her hand on the table, then clenched her fist tightly, and her sharp nails dug into her palm. The pain caused sweat on her forehead, but it was not as painful as the sting in her heart.
As expected, my grandfather’s family also had their own reasons.
It was he who harmed his grandfather’s family.
He put his hands on the table, his face turned pale, and his body swayed.
"Girl!" Mingyue didn't check well enough, so she stretched out her hand to support her.
Yu Xijiao calmed down, sat down slowly, pointed at the finger strip in front of her, and asked Mingyue: "Look at this."
After saying that, he closed his eyes and suppressed the pain and hatred in his heart. Chu Zihan, it's Chu Zihan again, how dare he, how could he do such a thing.
It's not that she looks down on Chu Zihan, but it's absolutely impossible with his ability.
"Girl, Chu Zihan is taking charge of everything in this matter, but I think his status is not enough, maybe..." Mingyue understood the meaning at a glance, and after thinking about it for a while, she said.
"Maybe there is someone behind you?" Yu Xijiao stretched out her hand and pressed her chest, and opened her eyes again. There was silence in her eyes, like the dark night.
"My slave feels the same way, but...who is behind Chu Zi? Who can touch Duke An Guo's palace and take the lead in everything." Mingyue hesitated, "Girl, if this paper is presented, will it be handed over to Duke An Guo?"
Will the government redress injustice?"
"No, it's just a piece of paper. Not to mention that it didn't mention anything about framing Duke An Guo's mansion. Even Chu Zihan is gone now." Yu Xijiao sneered.
A good person suddenly disappeared. With Chu Zihan's character, he couldn't do anything daring.
That is hiding, hiding behind the person behind it...
"Girl, you want to investigate the affairs of Duke An Guo's Mansion?" Mingyue hesitated and asked.
"This matter concerns Lord Lanxuan. Chu Zihan is not dead yet, and Lord Lanxuan's great revenge has not been avenged. I want to investigate further." Yu Xijiao lowered her eyes and said calmly.
It's not that she doesn't believe in Mingyue, it's just that the matter of rebirth is unbelievable, so it's better not to tell her.
"If the girl wants to investigate, she has to go to Duke An Guo's Mansion?" Mingyue had actually made a guess for a long time, and was not surprised by Yu Xijiao's words. Now she is just confirming it again.
Huaibao said it, the master said it, no matter what the girl wants to do, she can do it, as long as she has to ensure her safety, everything else is okay.
"An Guo Gong's Mansion!" Yu Xijiao smiled bitterly. Since her rebirth, she has only been around her own Zhengyuan Hou Mansion. It's not that she doesn't want to go to An Guo Gong's Mansion, but because An Guo Gong's Mansion is still blocked and no one can enter.
No, I heard that there are still people from the Yamen guarding the place, and they haven't all left yet.
She must have a chance to go to Anguo Duke's Mansion.
"Anguo Duke's Mansion... I can't go there now." Yu Xijiao lowered her head and spoke in a deep voice.
"Girl, you will be able to enter Duke An Guo's Mansion soon. Don't worry, you can always find a chance to take a look." Mingyue comforted her.
Yu Xijiao was startled, and subconsciously grabbed Mingyue's hand. Her voice immediately changed: "An Guo Gongfu is going to... be opened. What's the reason? Why? Doesn't it mean that we need to investigate it carefully and find some evidence from it?
Come?"
Things in Anguo Mansion were handled so quickly that almost everyone was shocked. Later, some courtiers questioned the emperor's decision, feeling that it was too hasty. In order to calm the doubts of the courtiers, the emperor asked people from the Yamen to check inside.
Some bits and pieces of evidence.
He also said that there is still something in Anguo Gong's mansion.
Only those who find these pieces of evidence will know whether they are true or not.
And slowly, no courtiers mentioned matters related to Duke Anguo's mansion anymore. After all, too many people were dead, so what else could be said...
"Girl, I heard Huaibao say the other day that the seventh princess's residence seemed to be given to Duke Anguo. I don't know if this is true. However, Grandpa Huaibao has never told lies. I think it may be true.
Yes. But didn’t the Seventh Princess have a mansion before?"
