Madam never expected that so many things would happen to her eldest brother. On the wedding night, she discovered that the bride had been replaced. The death of the Zhao family's legitimate daughter was a huge blow to him. Later, she learned that the Zhao family's legitimate daughter was still alive.
He almost took the Zhao family's legitimate daughter and fled away. It was the Zhao family's legitimate daughter who persuaded him to put the overall situation first, so he chose to stay in the capital.
No wonder the eldest brother never drank again. It turned out that the eldest sister-in-law kept plotting against him, so the eldest brother was so wary of her.
No wonder my sister-in-law loves Qing'er so much. She thinks that because Qing'er is young, she is particularly fond of her. In fact, it's because Qing'er is her biological child, and Yue'er is just her tool. Sister-in-law is
This woman is really terrible. Fortunately, I didn't get too close to her. With her temperament, she would suffer sooner or later.
She could see that whenever her elder brother mentioned Tan'er's mother, his eyes would be full of sadness. She didn't expect that his elder brother would say so many things to her. This was the first time she heard these things in so many years. She was a little bit
I feel sorry for my eldest brother, I didn’t expect that my eldest brother has gone through so much.
"So, Qing'er and Jin'er were obtained by the sister-in-law through a scheme against the elder brother?" the lady asked doubtfully.
"Yes, I have been very indifferent to them for so many years, and it is also for this reason. But after all, they are my biological flesh and blood, and the children are innocent." The Prime Minister said.
"Brother, Qing'er's death has nothing to do with Ning'er. The three children were eating cakes in the yard, and Ning'er fell asleep before she knew it. When she woke up, she was already in the back garden. Originally, I didn't want to explain to you.
, but, for so many years, you and your sister-in-law have blamed Ning'er. Brother, I feel sorry for Ning'er. Because like you, I have doubted Ning'er. However, Ning'er told me that the truth is not what you see at all.
In that case, Ning'er is innocent, she was framed." Madam said to her eldest brother in one breath.
"In fact, I know what you said. Because the incident happened suddenly, your sister-in-law was already too sad, so naturally she didn't notice anything was wrong. However, after thinking about it carefully, something seemed wrong. So, I sent someone to investigate secretly, and then
I found out the clues. It turns out that Yue'er was the one who did these things. I didn't expect that Yue'er was taught badly by your sister-in-law. She is not only scheming but also ruthless. I regret a little. If I had known this, I should have given Yue'er to my mother to raise."
The Prime Minister sighed and said.
"It turns out that eldest brother has already investigated it." Madam said.
"Because I have already lost a daughter and I don't want to lose it again. Therefore, I can only pretend not to know." The Prime Minister said.
"Does sister-in-law know about this?" the lady asked.
"I have never mentioned this to her. I don't think she knows. With your sister-in-law's temperament, if she knew that Yue'er was the murderer of Qing'er, how could she be so calm?" said the Prime Minister.
Madam knows that her elder brother is right. If sister-in-law knows that Yue'er killed Qing'er, she will definitely not let Yue'er go. But sister-in-law is full of ambition, and she also wants to use Yue'er to bring greater benefits to her son.
, I shouldn’t do anything to Yue’er at this time.
"Brother, if you have a chance in the next few days, would you like to meet Tan'er?" the lady asked.
"It's better not to do it. It's for her own good." The Prime Minister said hesitantly.
The lady and the master stayed at the Prime Minister's Mansion for dinner before returning to Prince Cheng's Mansion. After they left, the Prime Minister entered the study alone.
The Prime Minister's wife came outside the study with the tonic and said softly: "Master, I personally stewed the tonic for you, would you like to try it?"
"Let Sheng'er bring it in. You can go back and write earlier and rest." The Prime Minister said coldly.
The Prime Minister's wife did not give the supplements to the servant guarding the door, but asked the servant to open the door, and she walked in with the supplements.
When the Prime Minister saw the Prime Minister's wife coming in, he put away the painting in his hand and asked, "Didn't I tell you that you don't have to come in?"
"Master, after all these years, are you still blaming me?" said the Prime Minister's wife.
The Prime Minister did not speak. Seeing this, the Prime Minister's wife had no choice but to open the box, take out the tonic and put it on the table. She said to the Prime Minister: "Master, remember to drink the tonic while it's hot. I won't disturb you anymore."
The Prime Minister's wife left the study sadly. After so many years, the master is still so cold to her.
The Prime Minister looked at the tonic on the table and did not intend to drink it. Instead, he continued to admire the painting in his hand. The painting showed a peach forest, and a woman was dancing in the peach forest. The woman was very agile and her face was full of energy.
With a happy smile, the Prime Minister's hand touched the woman in the painting over and over again, his eyes full of sadness. If you look carefully, this woman looks somewhat similar to Tan'er. It seems that she is the legitimate daughter of the Zhao family as mentioned by the Prime Minister.
Already.
There was a tear left in the corner of the Prime Minister's eyes, and he slowly closed the painting and put it into the hidden grid.
It turned out that the Prime Minister's wife had already discovered that her sister-in-law was still alive. She secretly asked someone to follow the master and found that he had gone to the villa. At first, the Prime Minister's wife thought that the master was hiding his beauty in the golden house, but she did not expect that the person in the villa was actually the Zhao family's eldest daughter.
female.
But she was very cunning and did not expose the Prime Minister. After the Zhao family's legitimate daughter was poisoned, her body has been very weak and she needs to take medicine year-round to relieve it. So, she had someone poison the Zhao family's legitimate daughter's decoction. That's how Zhao
The eldest daughter of the family lived in the villa for six or seven years, and it was not until after her death that the Prime Minister discovered the clues.
The daughter-in-law of the Zhao family passed away suddenly. The dregs of the medicine she drank had not had time to be thrown away, and there were dead ants around the dregs. The Prime Minister asked a doctor to check the dregs. It turned out that the dregs were poisonous. The Prime Minister knew that something was fishy, so he asked a doctor to check the dregs.
Liu Zuo came over. After Wu Zuo checked, he found that the nails of the Zhao family's legitimate daughter were black and gray, which was a sign of long-term poisoning. In other words, someone had been poisoning the Zhao family's legitimate daughter for several years.
The Prime Minister found out that his wife secretly sent someone to follow him, and then he found out that his wife had known about the Zhao family's legitimate daughter who was hiding in the villa. Fortunately, she didn't know about Tan'er's existence, otherwise Tan'er might also have been killed. The Zhao family's legitimate daughter
She was weak and became even weaker after giving birth to the child. At that time, the Prime Minister gave the newborn child to his nanny. After the legitimate daughter of the Zhao family passed away, he took Tan'er back and gave it to his younger sister.
around.
"Sir, the tonics should be eaten while they are hot. They will become cold if you put them down." The servant said.
"Just leave it here, don't worry. You can go out first, I want to stay in the study for a while." The Prime Minister said.
"Yes." The servant said.
The Prime Minister waited until the servants left and then poured the supplements into an empty jar. Over the years, his wife had sent many supplements, but he never took them. Even if he gave birth to twins, he would never make an exception.
After the Prime Minister's wife returned to the main courtyard, she overturned the teacup on the table. The nanny beside her said softly: "Madam, what's wrong with you?"
"After all these years, even a piece of ice should melt. After all this time, my master's attitude towards me has not changed at all." The lady said angrily.
"Madam, you have to calm down. After all, you are the one who can stay with me for many years. Others will have such blessings. Even if they die, they will not be able to enter the Yun family's ancestral graves." Mammy persuaded in a low voice.
"You are right, even if she dies, she is just a lonely ghost. Auntie, do you think I am more beautiful than her?" The Prime Minister's wife sat in front of the bronze mirror and looked at herself and asked.
Auntie comforted her: "My lady is naturally more beautiful than she is, not to mention that you are the legitimate daughter of the Zhao family." Auntie said.
"Mommy is right, I am the legitimate daughter of the Zhao family." said the Prime Minister's wife.
"Madam, why should you care about a dead person, let alone someone who has been dead for so many years?" said the nanny.
"Because she has always died in the master's heart. Even if she is no longer here, the master will always keep her in his heart. He thinks I don't know about the painting he hid in the study? I just don't want to tear it up.
It's embarrassing to pretend that I don't know anything. I'm not willing to accept it, and even regret it. She should be allowed to live and let the master see with his own eyes that one day she will become old and lose her beauty." said the Prime Minister's wife.
"This slave knows Madam's heart. It's because you care too much about me," said the nanny.
"Mommy, how about we go to Qingshan Temple to offer incense tomorrow morning?" said the Prime Minister's wife.
"Why does Madam suddenly want to burn incense and worship Buddha?" Grandma asked.
"I'm going to the villa by the way. I want to see an old friend." The Prime Minister's wife said with a smile.
"Madam, why are you doing this?" said the nanny.
The expression of the Prime Minister's wife became very ferocious, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Because I am not willing to give in. I want her to die in peace."
"I'll make arrangements now, Madam, please don't worry." Mammy said.
Grandma looked at her hands, asked someone to clean up the things on the ground, and then left the yard.
After taking a bath, the lady was about to go to bed. Grandma just returned to the yard and said to the lady: "Madam, everything has been arranged."
"Well, where is the master staying?" the prime minister's wife asked.
Mammy hesitated whether to tell Madam, but when she saw Madam waiting for her answer, she just said: "I am staying in Xingyue Pavilion."
"He stayed in the Xingyun Pavilion again. What attracted him to that place? He actually rested in the attic for three days." The Prime Minister's wife asked.
"Master may like the attic to be clean. Madam, it's better to rest early. We have to go up the mountain tomorrow morning," said the nanny.
"Well, you should take a rest earlier." said the Prime Minister's wife.
Before dawn the next day, the Prime Minister's wife set out for Qingshan Temple. Worried about being suspected, she first went to Qingshan Temple to burn incense. She didn't stay at Qingshan Temple for too long, then went to the villa.
Naturally, the place that the Prime Minister's wife wanted to go to was not the villa, but the mountain of the villa. The tomb of the Zhao family's legitimate daughter is right behind the villa. Qingshan Temple is not very far from the villa, and it only took a quarter of an hour to reach the villa. Prime Minister
The lady did not enter the villa, but went around to the back mountain. Sure enough, there was a lonely tomb in the back mountain, with Zhao Xingyue written on the tombstone.
The Prime Minister's wife was obviously a little surprised when she saw the name on the tombstone. The legitimate daughter of the Zhao family was named Zhao Siyue, but why did the tombstone say Zhao Xingyue? Wait, Xingyue Pavilion...
"Madam, her name is not on the tombstone. Who is Zhao Xingyue?" said the nanny.
"Mommy, there is something fishy about that Xingyue Pavilion, otherwise I wouldn't stay there so often." The Prime Minister's wife said angrily.
"Xingyue Pavilion, Zhao Xingyue. Xingyue Pavilion is related to the owner of this tomb, but it seems to have nothing to do with her. What is going on?" Mammy said in confusion.
"Dig for me, I want to see if she is still not that beautiful." said the Prime Minister's wife.
"Madam, what if this is not her tomb..." Mammy said cautiously.
