Chapter 157
Zhong Jin was startled, and when he saw Yuhang giving him a look, he immediately understood and went forward to grab Rong’s wife’s collar, causing her to yell on the ground, “Your Highness, spare your life! Your Highness, I don’t dare to do it again.”
Zhong Jin glanced at Zhou Xian Yang again, and then released her.
Rong’s wife struggled to get up from the ground and wiped her tears, “Fourth sister’s kindness, at least give my wife and old man a little place to live, there are still two little dolls in the house, we still have to live, don’t we?”
“That depends on whether you are useful to me or not.” Rong Xiangmian said indifferently.
Rong wife immediately kowtowed: “Fourth sister, Aunt Chu died in vain!”
If it was the Rong Xiangmian of her previous life, she would have been shocked to hear this, yet now she just asked indifferently, “How is it unknown?”
“She was killed by Aunt Liu.”
Zhou Xian Yang already had a premonition in his heart and tightened his grip on Rong Xiangmian’s hand, while she just smiled coldly, “I know. Although all of you are hiding it from me, thinking I’m small, I know.”
Back then, after she was reborn, she realized that she was weak and must have taken the drug. Therefore, after she was awake, she kept silent and waited until her mother was buried and her father, who was far away from home, rushed back before she told him about this.
Rong Sheng originally did not believe the words of this four-year-old girl. However, he did not expect that his eldest son, ten-year-old Rong Xianggu, who had learned the inside story by chance, would come to denounce his own mother.
Remembering the past, Rong Xiang Gu’s eyes glistened with tears.
Rong’s wife didn’t expect Rong Xiang Gu to know about it, she froze for a while, and suddenly said loudly, “Aunt Liu is only one of the murderers, Mrs. Duke of State is the murderer behind the scene.”
With these words, they managed to make Mr. and Mrs. Yu lose their composure.
At this time, Rong old woman only knew what she said, is valuable content, busy attentive: “Aunt Liu is the cousin of the Liu family, the family is in decline, the old slaves these dowry, are Marquis Yongding assigned to follow her into the house. So …… we actually secretly, all listen to Mrs. Guo Gong.
The old slave was only a second-class slave, when what important errand. But Aunt Liu side has a companion room Cui Hai family, the most powerful, she often listen to Mrs. State Duke assigned, in front of Aunt Liu to provoke her and Aunt Chu’s relationship. Soon after the death of Aunt Chu, Aunt Liu suddenly disappeared, Cui Hai family panic to find me, told me that the fire in Aunt Chu’s yard, is Aunt Liu’s yard Xiao Qin put.
Originally, Aunt Liu was colluding with a magician, wanting to give Aunt Chu and the child in her womb an unspecified crime, and set the fire was just trying to create a fire, saying that she would bring disaster to the family, but did not want her life. Auntie Chu’s nature is vigilant, will certainly find, firefighting team is just one street away from our house, also in time to extinguish the fire.
It is Mrs. Cui Hai’s past, let her buy the people in Aunt Chu’s house, to Aunt Chu’s tea drugged, but also promised her, after this, will burn her deed of sale, to give her 500 taels of silver to go to live. But I don’t know how, Auntie Chu’s matter was even shaken out, and was killed by the Duke of State with a dose of poison. The Cuihai’s were afraid that they too would be killed, so they told me that if the Duke of State’s wife wanted to silence her, she told me to tell the Duke of State the truth.”
“And then? Where did she go?” Zhou Xian Yang asked.
Wife Rong said, “Within a few days, that Cui Hai’s family disappeared, even the one in Aunt Chu’s house that she paid off disappeared, more than likely dead.”
Rong Xiangxian was almost numb in general and asked softly, “Why didn’t you tell the truth at that time?”
Rong’s wife said, “How could I dare? The slaves who knew the inside story are all gone. How do I dare to rush to say, even if I say, the Duke of State will not spare me …… Wangfei, Your Highness, although this matter is already old, but my wife can not bear to Wangfei be kept in the dark ah.”
Seeing her put the seller of the master so grandly, Zhou Xian Yang said, “After saying half a day, you have no evidence, dead or alive?”
“Huh?” Wife Rong was so intent on being courteous that she didn’t expect to be credible.
With an anxious look on her face, she busily defended, “Your Highness and Your Highness are unaware of how difficult the Duke’s wife’s situation was in the mansion back then. She had no heir for a long time, so she raised a sister from her mother’s family to be the second grandmother, and it wasn’t long before Aunt Liu gave birth to her eldest son and a thousand jin, which caused her to be quite neglected. After a few years, she managed to get pregnant, not happy for a few days, the Duke of the country from the North Hazard paddock brought back Auntie Chu.
Aunt Chu’s appearance, really is the princess can not catch up, the Duke of State like everything can not care. Mrs. gave birth to the third sister child, because of the birth of the left sick, bedridden for a number of days, in the house more and more can not do the Lord. She has no heir, no favor, and her health is not good, even the power of the housekeeper has fallen into the hands of Aunt Liu. If it wasn’t for the killing with a borrowed knife, she wouldn’t be in the position she is in today!”
Rong old man finished in one breath, pitiful, currying favor as if looking at Rong Xiangmian, begging to be able to get a little bit of mercy: “The old slave for so many years, dare not tell a person about …… Wangfei, now the old slave knows everything, only hope that Wangfei can see in the old slave risked his life, told the truth on the part of the send a kind heart it! ”
After saying that, old man Rong knelt down on the ground and hesitated to get up.
Zhou Xian Yang glanced uneasily at the princess, her eyes were empty, like a puppet, she could only gently lean her in front of her body, soothingly said: “This is her side of the story, may not want to believe it all. Mother has been deceased for so many years, the truth is there, slowly investigate, don’t be anxious.”
Rong Xiangshi closed her eyes and looked mournful, “I believe her words. In fact, for so many years, I have always had a shadow of doubt about my mother’s death.”
In fact, Zhou Xian Yang also felt that even if Rong’s wife had a selfish motive, such words were not something that could be made up, so he gave Xiangmian an idea: “First go and talk to your elder brother, he is in the State Duke’s residence, it is more convenient to find out the truth.”
“This matter can not be anxious, must be properly disposed of, as far as possible to get ironclad evidence, if the leakage of information, on the state government is not good, on the big brother and two sisters will have an impact.”
“This time don’t want to think for others.”
Rong Xiangmian laughed out coldly, “Maybe you don’t believe me, I’m not in a hurry, if it’s really her doing, I won’t take her life immediately, I’m going to pick the best time to let her experience the cone of pain that my mother and I are feeling.”
Looking at Wangfei’s almost wooden face and desperate words, Zhou Xian Yang heartbreakingly hugged her, “Xiangmian ……”
Before the words were finished, Rong Xiangmian had already hugged him tightly and cried bitterly.
The original happy trip out of the capital had a bad atmosphere on the return trip because of this unexpected gain.
After returning to Jinling, they went straight to Mama Song’s house. At the beginning, the full moon wine of Song mom’s grandson, they didn’t catch up, this time they took the opportunity to bring some Daqiuzhuang’s wild game to send.
When they returned to the royal residence, it was already dark.
Zhou Xianyang and Xiangmian dismissed everyone and went to the Buddha Hall to offer incense. Xiao Nan and Xiao Bei stood guard outside the house.
The dark room was opened and Zhou Xian Yang walked in with a candle in his hand. Xiangmian stood at the door of the dark room, just in case.
The candlelight illuminated a man and a woman inside.
The man was dressed in a strong black suit and kneeled down on one knee and saluted, “Master, do not dishonor your mission.”
Zhou Xian Yang said, “Hard work.”
Gray Eagle bowed and got up, exited the dark room, stood opposite Rong Xiangmian, lowered his eyebrows, not daring to look at her.
Rong Xiangmian’s gaze kept resting on that skinny girl in the depths of the dark room.
Yu Xiangyi was very different from the round-faced, chubby and simple girl she had imagined.
Although Zhou Xianyang recognized her at once that day, he was hesitant to recognize her until Yu Xiangyi jumped forward and knelt down in front of her, crying, “Brother Xianyang …… I finally see you ……! ”
He immediately bent down and hugged this skinny girl.
Although the dark room was prepared with candles, replacement clothes and dry hand towels, Yu Xiangyi’s hands were still so cold.
Soaked in the river water of the autumn night, it was gloomy and cold.
“Xiangyi, you’ve suffered.”
“Brother Xian Yang, you’ve grown so tall, I can’t even recognize you.” A little bit of Yu Xiangyi was still like when she was a child, smiling and revealing two pear swirls, as if she was still the same queen’s niece in Kunning Palace, carefree.
“You have also grown taller and thinner. I will never laugh at your little fat hands again.”
The two people spoke the childish words of two small children, silently shedding tears, as if the sufferings that each other had endured over the years, the blood and tears that they had shed, were all just a dream.
The warmth only lasted for a few moments before Yu Xiangyi wiped away her tears and solemnly held Zhou Xianyang’s hand, “Brother Xianyang, I know that seeing you will bring you trouble. However, I’ve survived so far just to see you and bring you father’s wishes, otherwise how can I be worthy of the fact that they put their lives on the line to save me from escaping.”
“What did uncle have to say?”
“Father said that he never collaborated with the enemy and sold out the country! The terms of the peace talks were spoken to him personally by the Emperor. At that time, the Emperor didn’t want to fight anymore, so he gave him a secret order to let him back down a bit during the peace talks, and it wouldn’t hurt. Unexpectedly, dad did, but caused a furor, political opponents rallied to attack, said he accepted a bribe, the traitor to the country, cede the country. Dad thought the Emperor would speak up for him, but he didn’t recognize what he had said and ordered the family to be raided.
Brother Xian Yang, it was only on the way to exile that my father realized that the whole thing was a trap, a trap for the Yu family to jump into. The Emperor was looking for an excuse to kill us! On the way to Mohe, we had several accidents, we are bound to die …… that’s why father had to take the whole family to die together, and bought a messenger to do the bureau to save me one.”
Yu Xiangyi said and let out a loud cry. Zhou Xian Yang’s heart was like a knife twisting, choked and said, “I understand, I will investigate this matter clearly, not to make uncle hateful and wronged.”
“I am sorry …… Xian Yang brother. Now that you’ve built a career and married a king, you should have had great days, but you were dragged back into the middle of right and wrong by the Yu family ……”
Zhou Xian Yang shook his head and pacified her, “I also have the Yu family’s blood flowing in my body, I am also a child of the Yu family.”
His promise made Yu Xiangyi relax, her tears kept dripping down again, “I really want to talk to you for a while. For so many years, my father and mother are gone, my brother is gone, and I can’t see my aunt …… I’ve been sold and sold again, living like an animal, with only one thought in my mind, I want to live to return to Jinling and see brother Xian Yang, you’re the only family member I can see …… ”
Listening to the words of the siblings, Rong Xiangyang was outside in tears. She even thought about whether she could let Yu Xiangyi quietly stay in the mansion. However, reason told her that now was not the time.
Xiangyi was also well aware of this, “Unfortunately, I can’t stay by your side, let’s meet again.”
She decisively withdrew her hand, stood up, and walked out, when she passed the door of the dark room, Yu Xiangyi saw Xiangyi, and her eyes revealed infinite envy, “You’re brother Xian Yang’s royal consort …… You’re so beautiful.”
