In fact, Jiang Yashuang and Qiu Yilan also knew that although Zhuoqian found the antidote in the first room, the third room may not be without suspicion, because no matter how bad the housekeeper of the He family was, it had only been a few months since He Shuijin left. , the foundation she built during her time has not been taken away. Even if the He family has changed during this period, it is impossible for it to be corrupted to this extent in such a short time, right
And because the Jiang family has not been separated yet, the food and clothing expenses of each room are paid to the public account, and the third room of the housekeeper is responsible for unified allocation. If it is really the He family's waste, then the problem cannot be just the access control and the interior of the mansion. Lax, there should be something wrong with the division of each room - in this way, even though the fourth room never gets involved in housekeeping matters, he can still notice the clues and naturally take precautions!
But in the past few months, things have remained the same as usual - how can the three-fang family be cleared of suspicion
It's just that the two houses are not the only ones who have had a grudge against each other over the years. Who knows if there will be any outsiders involved this time? Of course you have to ask clearly.
"Just give up on this idea!" Zhuqian said bluntly, "I just thought that although there is some grudge between us, when the Gu family fell earlier, you had ulterior motives in putting me and Sister Mei under house arrest. But at least we were protected from humiliation, and our daily supplies were very generous, so we got through this troubled situation! Now that your children are fine, please find the real culprit yourself - Sister Mei said, this Nine times out of ten, this is an internal fight within your family. If reckless people like us get involved rashly, we are looking for death!"
Jiang Yashuang's face was as dark as water: "Just say it, I will use my wealth and life to ensure that you are safe! In addition, you can make any other conditions!"
Swing didn't even raise his head: "No need! It's not yet time for you to take charge of the Jiang family! Although your life is precious, to us, if our own life is gone, what's the use of your life?" "
"When we came just now, my grandfather also said that this matter would be investigated thoroughly and would not be tolerated!" Qiu Yilan then reassured her.
But Shuqian sneered: "That's your grandfather, not my grandfather! Of course the Duke of Qin said all kinds of nice things to you, your outstanding grandsons and granddaughters-in-law, but he turned around and said to me, causing his descendants to kill each other. How can he be the same kind as the culprit? He doesn't need any kind of liquidation method, he can kill me without a burial place, and even implicate my brother and sister Mei! Is this how you plan to repay me? "
"..." The couple couldn't speak for a while, and then they said after a while, "After all, you got the antidote from the eldest room, so the eldest room will definitely be inseparable!"
"That's not necessarily the case!" Zhuqian said calmly, "I can sneak in and grab the antidote and then go out. Who knows that those old ladies must be from the big house? This is one; second, even if they are, I didn’t hear them mentioning anyone in your family! Maybe someone from behind deliberately instigated it? Anyway, I just want to save your son, and I will never get involved with the real murderer!”
Qiu Yilan couldn't help but said: "Zhuqian, do you know that you brought the antidote? Now there are not only one or two people in this house who know about it! Now if you don't tell the real culprit, do you think the real culprit will let you go?" ? It would be safer for you to just tell us and let us deal with it, wouldn’t it?”
"But I didn't say where I got it from!" Swing shook his head and said, "Now that there is no fourth person here, I said I snatched it from the main room. This was because I was afraid that I would not explain clearly how I got the antidote. You guys In the end, they are suspicious of me, so I will not admit anything after this! I will also spread this news. If the real murderer dares to harm me, I will leave a message to you even if I die; if I am a good person, Then make sure you keep it secret - you haven't said anything since I met you today. Will the real murderer think that I will tell you in the future? In short, if you can do it, take me and torture it. If you can't do it, let me go immediately. I-oh, and the things I left in Dafang’s hands?”
Jiang Yashuang's face looked very ugly, but she still said: "You underestimate us too much!"
This was an admission that he would not use coercion to get her to find the real culprit. Although he and Qiu Yilan were not soft-hearted people, they had saved their direct relatives regardless of past grudges, and then they fell out... No one has ever been so mean.
"You really don't want to say it, so let's do it for now." Qiu Yilan glanced at her husband and said, "It's already November, and it's impossible for my brother to come back this year. How can we get married next year! He promised to give What is yours?"
Swing curled his lips: "'Tianya'! Can you give it to me?"
"'Tianya'?" The couple was stunned, "Is it true or false?"
"Otherwise, the three of us would go through all this trouble with him?" Shuqian pursed his lips, "After his revenge was successful, he took the path of a temple; 'Tianya' came into our hands, and we have nothing to do with him anymore... This is what he and I were doing back then. My brother’s promise! It’s been so long since I’ve had my revenge, but he still refuses to come back in Shazhou! Do you think we should urge him?”
Qiu Yilan subconsciously explained for Qiu Jinglan: "He really can't get away!"
"So we have nothing to do now!" Swing sighed, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have time to sneak in and take a stroll myself!"
"Did your brother take Deng Yi away?" Jiang Yashuang suddenly asked, "What exactly did Gu Yan give him?"
Swing hummed: "Gu Yan said that? I really don't know if he wants to trick Deng Yi or to protect him? Deng Yi was taken away by my brother, but he has nothing to do with Gu Yan! At the beginning, Gu Yan forced my brother to Entering the palace to kill the king, he planned to kill my brother afterwards to silence him - it was Deng Yi who planned to rescue my brother, and then asked my brother to take him away from the control of the Gu family. Anyway, my brother escaped at that time and would be arrested by the Gu family. Take him with you more It doesn’t matter, just take him with you!”
"what about now?"
"Now he is working for Sister Mei as a bookkeeper for the several shops we have purchased!" At this point, Zhuqian seemed to have remembered something and clapped his hands, "That's right, don't you want to repay me? Sister Mei said If you can, please give him a favor, and it will be good for him to settle the score. The key is that he is desperate now, and Sister Mei is very relieved to use it!"
Qiu Yilan and Jiang Yashuang were both a little speechless. Deng Yi was at least a highly regarded Jinshi seed and future pillar of the Gu family back then, but now he was valued because of his ability to be a good accountant
After gathering his emotions, Jiang Yashuang said: "As long as he really left the Gu family alone and has no ill intentions towards us, it is a trivial matter." He pondered, "What about the others? Do you have any other requirements?"
"Money!" Zhuqian said without hesitation, "'Tianya' used to be very rich, but Qiu Jinglan probably spent all the money, right? Even if he didn't spend it all, he might not be willing to leave much to us. So. We are relatively short of money right now - a lot of people in 'Tianya' died in Qiu Jinglan's hands, so cultivating people is the most expensive thing!"
"Okay!" Jiang Yashuang agreed without hesitation, not even bothering to ask about the number. With the current power of the Jiang family, he had enough confidence to say so!
"Do you just want to hang out in the world?" Qiu Yilan couldn't help but ask, "In terms of blood, you are also from the Xihe Palace..."
Swing interrupted her and asked, "Do you think I look a little like a royal lady?" When she said this, she sat on her seat, grabbed a large handful of candied fruits, and threw one into her mouth while talking. , with a nonchalant look on his face. Although she has a beautiful and lovely appearance, her behavior is unruly and her eyes are unruly. Even the rough servants of wealthy families are more gentle than her.
"She still has the looks!" Qiu Yilan choked for a moment before saying.
This sentence made the three people in the room laugh, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed.
"You don't look good, but it's just a showmanship. When you were studying in the boudoir school of Prince Xihe, didn't I see anything wrong with you?" Qiu Yilan said, "Your brother's face..." The atmosphere at the moment was just... It's better to express gratitude than to express resentment. Of course, it's a passing statement. "You are a girl after all, and you are already that old. It is not a problem to follow him all the time. In my opinion, it is better to recognize your ancestors and return to the clan, and there is no need to go." The Prince of Xihe is troubled by the Yang family, how about I promise to make arrangements for you?"
"We are not people who eat the food of the temple!" Zhuoqian narrowed his eyes and said calmly, "My brother took the imperial examination just to complete the task. The young Hanlin was ruined. According to the thoughts of you powerful people, of course he will not stop until death. This way, even if we are a little suspicious in other places, we can get away with it! In fact, my brother doesn’t care about the Hanlin identity at all! Jianghu is more suitable for people like us.”
Seeing that she was telling the truth, Qiu Yilan sighed and said cautiously: "In any case, we are cousins by blood! You saved my child this time, and you will be my biological sister from now on! But there is Just say anything!”
"My father's relics..." Swing said with a dark face, "Have I mentioned it for the third time?"
Jiang Yashuang said awkwardly: "I'll send someone to the main room to look for him right away!"
... She asked Su He to take the swing to the guest house to set it up, and Jiang Yashuang made her trusted guards responsible for her safety. The couple's yard was now completely searched, so they returned to Mrs. Tao's yard to see their son.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw the old servant in front of Duke Qin, with his hands on his sleeves and a slightly stooped figure, waiting quietly behind the door.
"Uncle Jiang, what's the matter?" Jiang Yashuang was taught by the Duke of Qin himself, so naturally he was familiar with the old servant who was close to his grandfather - this old servant was the personal guard of the Duke of Qin when he was still in the army, and had saved the Duke of Qin many times. , was deeply relied on, and was given the surname Jiang. Everyone of Jiang Yashuang's generation would call him uncle.
At this moment, seeing that he seemed to be waiting for someone, the couple were surprised and couldn't help but feel worried!
After Jiang Bo came over and bowed, he said that both Qin Guogong and Jiang Jinglang were fine: "The old man couldn't hold on anymore and fell asleep. I took the opportunity to get away and come over to see if the 19th Young Master and the 19th Young Lady will come again?"
Jiang Yashuang's thoughts changed and she said softly: "But Uncle Jiang himself has something to say to us?"
"Since the young master asked this, do you think you know what the old slave is going to say?" Jiang Bo sighed and choked up, "The old man is five years older than the Marquis of Jibei... The people in Kui County have not dared to do so until now. Send a letter…”
"Although the old man already knew what happened this time, but... if he expected it to come to that point, would the old man be equally stimulated?" The old servant, who had always been calm and composed, sobbed like a child, "How dare you, old man?" , I came to ask the young master and the young lady without telling the old man, can you please consider that the old man is so shocked that he can just go there and pretend to be confused this time? "
Qiu Yilan subconsciously looked at her husband - Jiang Yashuang's face was pale, and she stared at Uncle Jiang blankly, silently.
"Of course the old man told you not to report him, but do you think that even if you two don't tell him, others won't tell him?" Uncle Jiang burst into tears and knelt down tremblingly, "Old man Let me tell you something damning: You two... In fact, you don’t have to endure it for long... I just saw... the old man... after you two left... he vomited blood!"
"The old man hid the handkerchief in his sleeve and made the slave shut up with his wink..."
"Once this matter is investigated to the end..."
"Old man, he..."
The old man's suppressed cries floated in the afterglow of the evening, making the already depressed house even more desolate in this season.
Qiu Yilan clung to her husband's sleeves, feeling confused.
After a long time, she watched Jiang Yashuang close her eyes, and seemed to have exhausted all her strength before spitting out one word from between her lips and teeth: "Okay!"
