    Chapter 57 The old secret

    Author: Bailu Chengshuang|Release Time: 06-09 17:12|Word Count: 6047 Shen Zhiluo really doesn't want to pay attention to her, and it's not that he has no hands.

    However, this person leaned over and fell into his arms without reservation. If she retreated, she would definitely fall down wearing this heavy headgear and splatter the bridal chamber with blood, but if she didn't retreat - Shen Zhiluo's eyes snapped. Draw, reach out.

    So Su Miao smashed into his arms with a head full of pearls and a heavy wedding dress, causing him to snort.

    "You're really not afraid of death." He gritted his teeth.

    Su Miao looked up at him, her fox eyes curled, and she laughed unbridled: "You will definitely follow me, and where will you die, it's just to be coquettish with you."

    I have never seen a girl who would take her life to act like a spoiled child.

    Shen Zhiluo shook his head, wanting to help her sit back, but saw her half-squinting lazily in his arms, his sallow index finger held the flower and pointed to his head: "First take these six little hairpins, and then move them. These three phoenix hairpins."

    Long eyebrows frowned slightly, Shen Zhiluo reached out his hand reluctantly.

    His hand will turn to Sinan to calculate destiny, but he has never removed his daughter's hair bun. His movements are stiff and clumsy, and he has pulled her hair several times in a row. He lowered his eyes to look, but the man in his arms didn't look like he was going to be angry at all. He only hummed twice and said with relief, "As expected, there has never been another woman."

    Shen Zhiluo: "..."

    The corners of his eyes were a little cold, and he muttered: "There was a marriage before."

    "You?" Su Miao opened her eyes with interest, "Then why didn't it work?"

    "The previous dynasty fell, and the sky was different."

    Su Miao was stunned, her eyes widened: "Then do I count as Dove occupying Nestle?"

    It is true that he can say anything, and even scolding himself smoothly, Shen Zhiluo sneered and declined to comment.

    Su Miao was really worried, she took off the hairpin on her head, lay in his arms with her long hair scattered, wrinkled the tip of her nose and said, "You are thinking about my little sister-in-law, and there is another marriage in name. I can't take advantage of my body and mind, but how can it be good?"

    When her body stiffened, Shen Zhiluo almost threw her down.

    Can you say something like that? Or in this bridal night, from the mouth of one of her brides?

    He was a little annoyed, and even his face darkened.

    "Hey, don't be angry, I didn't tell anyone else." Su Miao looked at his expression without panic, still smiling, "Don't worry, I like little sister-in-law and won't cause her any trouble. "

    "Miss Su's heart is as clear as a mirror, so why do you want to marry me?" He was furious, and his pale purple pupils were gloomy, "What are you planning?"

    Su Miao looked at him like this with light in her eyes, and smiled, "I don't want to tell you about your face, I just see your beautiful face in the whole Jinghua, whoever you have in your heart has nothing to do with me. Just look good."

    The anger didn't subside at all, but instead, a nameless fire was added. Shen Zhiluo picked her up and pushed her aside, and said coldly, "Then I would like to thank Miss for your love."

    "Tsk, this dragon and phoenix candle is still burning in front of you. You call me Miss Su, don't you feel bad about it?" She unbuttoned the wedding dress and said with a flat mouth, "Hurry up and shout ma'am."

    "Miss Su's words are serious." Shen Zhiluo's eyelids were half-drooping, and he said solemnly, "I just want to see this face, the lady can see it, and the young lady can see it."

    Turning her eyes, Su Miao licked the corner of her mouth. Before the wedding dress took off, she put her arms around his neck in this half-dressed and half-off appearance, and said with a light smile, "But there are some things, that is what the lady did, miss. Impossible to do."

    Shen Zhiluo was icy cold and refused people thousands of miles away, but Su Miao didn't mind it, but she pulled him over to do something wrong.

    If someone told Xing Nu before that your family's Da Si Ming would one day be dragged into the world and enjoy the affairs of the concubine, Xing Nu would definitely not believe it. Da Si Ming's indifferent and arrogant temperament is considered a marriage. , and at most one more person around.

    But now he was in the main courtyard, and when he heard the loud movement in the room, his chin fell to the ground and he almost couldn't pick it up.

    Is this a marriage or a prostitution? Miss Su family is so bold, isn't she afraid that adults will never see her again?

    Su Miao is naturally not afraid. Shen Zhiluo has a hundred ways to hide from her, and she has a thousand ways to find someone, even if he hates her so much that he gnashes his teeth, and has the status of a legitimate husband and wife, he will hide Don't open her.

    "Will you like me in the future?" Someone asked with a smile on the bed.

    "No." Her voice was decisive and unfeeling.

    "That's great." She said happily, "You won't like me anyway, so I like you, and you can ignore everything."

    "..."

    Shen Zhiluo felt that he would never understand what Su Miao was thinking.

    There have been too many happy events recently, and Mrs. Zhuang was happy. She was tired after all. After Su Miao got married, she fell ill. She was lying in bed with intermittent high fever, and she woke up and fell asleep.

    Huayue didn't dare to neglect her any more, she stayed in front of her bed all day, looking for a doctor to ask for medicine, and boiled medicine to feed her.

    Mrs. Zhuang often cried, and there was no focus in her eyes, she just stared at the bed curtain and shouted, "Niangniang."

    She asked which empress she was calling, but Mrs. Zhuang couldn't hear her, so she cried and cried. Tears soaked the pillow, and she had a fever again.

    Huayue was so anxious that there was a blister on her mouth, and it hurt to eat.

    Li Jingyun looked furious: "Can you worry less about dim sum?"

    She looked at him and wanted to ask if you could take a little more care? But when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed it back, shook his head silently, and continued to chew on the ribs.

    The person beside him was very angry, and he waved his hand to let Badou remove all the dishes from the table. Huayue's chopsticks failed, and she didn't want to argue with him, so she simply put down her chopsticks and wanted to read the bill.

    "You sit here for the lord." He held her down and said coldly, "If you don't speak, you'll be fine? What kind of good-natured person is a true lord who can always be used to you?"

    Hua Yue raised her eyes, slightly aggrieved.

    With a sigh of relief, Li Jingyun turned his face away in annoyance: "Don't put on such an appearance for your grandfather. My grandfather has been very busy recently, and you finally came back for dinner, so can't you be honest?"

    "The concubine didn't say anything." She was even more aggrieved, "What made you unhappy?"

    Nowhere is fast. Li Jingyun said with a sullen face: "Sure enough, dogs can't get used to it. If I get used to you, my father is a dog."

    Hua Yue lowered her eyes, thinking that after only a few days, she was getting tired of it. The words of a man really can't be trusted.

    After a while, Ba Dou who took the dishes came back with the dishes, and the same dishes were served on the table, except that the bones of the ribs were removed, the thorns of the fish were also cleaned, and the fried vegetables were chopped even more. , and put a silver spoon on the side of the plate.

    She stared blankly and blinked.

    Li Jingyun yelled at Badou with a stern face: "Who made the kitchen meddle in business?"

    Badou shrank his neck, turned his head and ran.

    After the roaring, the old man put the chopsticks into her hands again: "Eat it."

    Huayue: "?"

    Li Jingyun was really busy, so he went out after having lunch with her. Before leaving, he pulled her over to kiss her forehead, and whispered, "Be honest recently, don't cause trouble."

    This seems to have other meanings, she listened thoughtfully, and watched him ride his horse away.

    Because of the assassination of the prime minister, Zhou Heshuo followed the investigation of the assassins and found that all of them were related to the previous dynasty. , the sound of the wind.

    Before Shen Zhi got married, Zhou Heshuo gave him a house with three entrances and three exits. All the people in the courtyard except Xingnu belonged to him, so he was at ease with Shen Zhiluo, as long as he had a relationship with the general's mansion. In-laws are there, and the two can check and balance each other.

    But what Zhou Heshuo didn't expect was that his subordinates suddenly came to report: "The wife of the General's House, Mrs. Zhuang, has quite a relationship with the former Wei Dynasty."

    Zhou Heshuo's face was ugly.

    In fact, it was only five years before Daliang attacked Wei, and it was common for people from the two dynasties to coexist, but when two of his subordinates were murdered before, and the prime minister was assassinated, Zhou Heshuo was extremely scruples when he was involved with the family of important officials and Wei people. of.

    He asked, "Hasn't the Zhuang family of the General's Mansion always been close to the Zhonggong faction?"

    "Yes, Mrs. Zhuang has some friendship with the eldest princess, and it was because of this that she wanted to betroth the Third Young Master and Miss Han. Later, it was a misunderstanding and it was over." He is also a native of Wei, received the grace of the Great Wei Queen, and once enshrined her tablet, but later, for fear of causing trouble, he hurriedly erased the tablet and sent it to Yongqing Temple."

    Zhou Heshuo narrowed his eyes.

    The main court of Kangfu.

    Li Jingyun was drinking tea when he suddenly felt a chill down his spine. He frowned, put down the teacup and looked out.

    "Wait?" Kang Zhenzhong walked into the door with something, and smiled when he met his gaze, "It's all old stuff, it takes some effort to find it."

    The old long mahogany box was placed on the table, and when the lid was opened, a yellowed scroll could be seen. Li Jingyun returned to his senses and cupped his hands: "I'm sorry."

    "Where, it's rare that you want to see this thing." Kang Zhenzhong laughed, the swollen eye bags became kinder, "It's been more than ten years in a flash, we are all old, only the person in this painting is still young, It's still the same as before."

    The scroll unfolded, and there were three figures on it, two men standing or leaning, and a dignified little girl sitting by the pond on the other side, with eyebrows like willow leaves and eyes like stars.

    Li Jingyun recognized her. This was Li Shoutian's first wife, the former mistress of the General's House, You Shi.

    When You Shi was still there, she also loved him a lot. She often held him on her lap and listened to him recite the Three Character Classic. If she recited it well, she would give him a snack. Teach him softly.

    At that time, he couldn't see Mrs. Zhuang, Mrs. Zhuang was always not in the house, either to go shopping or to go out with his father to play.

    Li Jingyun once wondered if he was being held wrongly. In fact, he was not born by Zhuang, but by You.

    But——looking at this painting now, he doesn't look like You at all, his eyebrows are full of the appearance of Li Shoutian and Zhuang.

    Kang Zhenzhong looked at him, and his thoughts drifted away, but after a while, he still smiled and said, "This old man is useless to keep it, and it's annoying to see, why don't I give it to you."

    Li Jingyun thanked him and smiled again: "Your Excellency is actually not relieved."

    The resumption of contact with Li Shoutian was only driven by interests. To say that this old grudge was not so much letting it go, it would be better to forget it. People have been dead for so many years, and no matter how stubborn he is, he can't do anything.

    Kang Zhenzhong glanced at him unexpectedly, and suddenly burst out laughing: "You're a smart kid, it's a pity to only be the champion of martial arts."

    Li Jingyun nodded at him, knowing that he was trying to talk things out and didn't want to talk to him, so he didn't ask hard. Folding the scroll, he got up and said goodbye.

    Wen Guzhi was waiting for him outside, and when he saw him coming out, he got into the car with him.

    "Little sister-in-law is also very busy, the house is so busy, and she didn't forget to trouble Master Kang." He took a seat and said, "If it wasn't for the people under you who found out quickly, Master Kang would have been unable to escape this incident. ."

    Li Jingyun tutted lightly: "Tell her to stop acting rashly."

    "Kang Zhenzhong's politics are extreme, and he wants to kill all the Wei people to bring peace to the world. Therefore, many people in the previous dynasty died in his prison. It seems a little difficult for your sister-in-law to let this revenge not avenge." Wen Guzhi shook his head. "Little sister-in-law is always in trouble, and she didn't follow others' actions. She only turned over the old cases that Mr. Kang committed a few years ago, and wanted to take advantage of the eldest princess' desire to get revenge on the prince, and clean up the people together."

    He couldn't help worrying: "Who would have thought that this little sister-in-law was so powerful before, she looked soft and weak, but her back was intertwined."

    Li Jingyun snorted softly: "She's still amazing, if it wasn't for the Lord to stop her, she would have sent herself in already."

    Looking at him with a complicated look, Wen Gu knew: "Let's talk about it, can you stop being so proud, the little sister-in-law is yours now, and if she does this stupid thing, you have to follow it if you are not careful. ."

    "It can't fall." Li Jingyun leaned on the pillow leisurely, "Master knows the proportions."

    Yin Huayue has resentment in her heart, so she must take revenge when she takes the opportunity, but for her, there is one thing that interests her more than killing Kang Zhenzhong.

    He returned to the house, and silently hung a few paintings in the house.

    Huayue came back from the main courtyard, and when she entered the door, she saw the place where the picture of the Eight Horses of the Broken Hole was originally hung, and added a picture of the intention of a concubine.

    The petite girl was pulled and half leaned on the soft couch, shy and stunned, the person sitting on the couch lowered her head and kissed her gently on the face.

    ——Why does this thing look familiar? Hua Yue squinted her eyes for a while, and suddenly remembered the essay that was thrown out of the window by Li Jingyun earlier.

    Where did throw it away? picked it up and drew it carefully and then framed it.

    Her face was flushed, and she went to take it off.

    "Hey." Li Jingyun came out from the side, stretched his long arms and hugged her away, "I finally reorganized the house, please don't mess around."

    RBI? Huayue turned her head in confusion, and saw that there were not only this picture around, but new paintings were hung beside the bed and the outer room. Confused: "Why does this person look like a general."

    "The painting sent by Mr. Kang today is indeed of my father and him, as well as the former You." Li Jingyun explained, with a natural expression, "It's an old painting, with good brushwork, and it can be hung here as an antique. Install the door."

    Hua Yue was stunned, a dark look flashed across her eyes.

    Li Jingyun pretended not to see it, and deceived her and pressed her on the soft couch, licking the corner of his mouth and chuckling: "The paintings of the husband and concubine are all hung up, why don't you follow along?"

    The man in his arms was slightly annoyed, and his fangs were showing again. He took it for granted, and stretched his wrist to her to bite. When she was tired of biting, she let go of her mouth and lowered her head.

    In the matter of how to deal with the matter of Yin Zhang, Li San Gongzi already has quite a lot of experience.

    He bullied the person for a long time, and then said to her: "The old mother who used to be by my mother's side seems to be ill recently, and she lives in the back of the West Courtyard. If you are free, go see her. She used to be often when I was a child. Take Grandpa to the street to play."

    "Okay." Huayue replied.

    She always wanted to know what happened in the General's Mansion, but she couldn't find out. What Li Jingyun said pointed her to the clear way. It turned out that there was an old lady in the West Court who knew the matter.

    After serving Zhuang's medicine, Huayue immediately took Shuangjiang to the west courtyard.

    The old mama was getting old and sick. Hua Yue gave her medicine and changed her clothes and bedding. She was so happy that she regarded her as a relative: "There are still good people in this house, there are good people."

    Shuang Jiang felt strange: "Since it's a mama who served by Madam's side, how could you end up in this field?"

    According to the rules in the general's mansion, servants who are fifty years old can take money home to spend their old age in peace, but this nanny is already sixty.

    Hua Yue was also curious, she looked up and saw that the old woman's eyes were wet, and she murmured, "I did something wrong, it was my fault, and I should be punished."

    The two were stunned for a moment, Shuang Jiang immediately went to close the door, Hua Yue held her hand and said softly: "The third son still misses you, and specially asked me to come over to take care of you. If you have any grievances, just talk about it."

    Hearing the words "Three Young Masters", the old mother's tears fell even more fiercely: "He is a good boy, but I am not good, I didn't think highly of him, and told him to bump into something he shouldn't have bumped into, I haven't seen him in the past ten years. Nowhere to say it, nowhere to say it.”

    She whimpered and cried, and Hua Yue hurriedly took the handkerchief over and waited patiently for her to finish crying before she could hear her eloquently.

    The Zhuang family was either married or the main family. She was an orphan who was rescued from outside by the general, and she was very popular with the general.

    The original wife was You, who was magnanimous. She regarded Zhuang as her own younger sister. She never cared about competing for favor. Even Li Jingyun was brought up by the old mama and You Shi.

    One day, Mrs. Zhuang came out of the palace and suddenly went to see Mrs. You. At that time, all the servants had left, and there was no one in the courtyard. The old lady came back from outside with the third son, and she just heard a movement in the main house. .

    When they went over to look, they saw that Mrs. Zhuang handed Mrs. You a bottle of medicine. Mrs. You opened the medicine stopper and asked her with a smile, "If you do this, will you really not be afraid in the future?"

    "No." Mr. Zhuang replied coldly and firmly.

    You Shi took a deep look at her, raised his head and poured the medicine into his mouth. Li Jingyun was lying on the crack of the door, watching You Shi spit blood out of his mouth, withering from the bed like a withered flower and entering the village. in his arms.

    The ten-year-old child didn't make a sound, just pulled the old mammy away, and whispered to her: "Mammy is also old, she always follows me in and out, and she is also tired, why don't you live in the western courtyard, I Let some maids serve you."

    Speaking of the appearance of the third son, the old maid's hands trembled: "You have never seen such a small person, but the whole body is full of the style of a general, and the slaves are so much bigger than him, they are actually scared. I'm afraid."

    Hua Yue's face turned pale.

    She thought about many reasons why Li Jingyun and Zhuang were at odds, but she never thought that Li Jingyun would encounter Zhuang to kill.

    His biological mother killed the mistress of the mansion. At that age, his first reaction was to settle the other person he bumped into. After so many years, it seems that he never let this old woman leave the general mansion. Chance.

    But Zhuang, such a gentle person, why would he kill someone? Is it because you want to be the head of the general's mansion?

    Hua Yue frowned and asked hesitantly, "You're dead, has the general not tracked it down?"

    "No." The old mama shook her head, "The general only buried You Clan. He probably had some doubts, so since then, he has never favored Chuang Clan. But he never asked where the poison came from. They didn't drive Mrs. Zhuang out of the house either."

    What is the reason for this?

    The person on the painting that Li Jingyun hung in the study came to mind, Hua Yue got up to leave, and she whispered to Shuang Jiang when she went out: "Let them stop first, Kang Zhenzhong, stay here for a while."

    Shuang Jiang was puzzled: "Is this related to Kang Zhenzhong?"

    "I don't know yet, but it's right to leave his destiny first." Hua Yue strode towards the main courtyard, her expression still very complicated, "Some things may still need to be said from his mouth."

    "What else is there to do, isn't it very clear?" Shuang Jiang said, "Even if the madam killed the previous mistress because of jealousy, the general neglected the madam, and the third son did not want to get close to the madam."

    Hua Yue shook her head: "No, the most important point is that Mrs. Zhuang has a gentle temperament. She can't do such ruthless things. There may be some hidden feelings in it. Besides, the old lady said that the general used to dote on his wife very much. , why is Madam jealous of You? Even at the expense of her own favor, she will kill her."

    Shuang Jiang was silent for a while, then looked at her secretly, and said in a low voice, "Everyone is a mixture of good and evil, and what is good to you may not be good to others. The servant wanted to say before that the madam treats you well because you owe it. Empress Xian's kindness, she is a kind and good person in your eyes, but you heard it just now, who can explain this human nature clearly?"

    After a pause, Hua Yue turned her head to look at her: "First Queen's kindness?"

    Realizing that she had missed her mouth, Shuang Jiang's body froze slightly, but only for a moment, she simply said: "Our wife was from Wei before, she was a servant in the palace, and she almost died because of an accident, yes. The first empress rescued her, and it is for this reason that the madam, after many years, disregarded the safety of the general's mansion, rescued you from the palace, and brought you back to take care of you."

    Her pupils shrank, and Kazuki clenched her cuffs.

    "I didn't say it before, because you are very grateful to the madam, and the madam loves you enough. The servant thinks there is no need to say this, but it only makes you feel that the madam is an old friend of the old dynasty. The slave thinks that you don't have to feel that the lady is innocent."

    If you can feed people poison, where will the innocent go? Zhuang's fate is now what he deserves.
