At night, the servants were all asleep, but the hall of He's house was still brightly lit.
Mrs. He stood in the center of the room, and beside her was the maid Cui'er who went up the mountain with her today. He Yuanliang and He Yuansheng and his wife were sitting on both sides. Second lady, I don't know what you are thinking.
"Second Aunt, what did you say to Xiao Huaijin in Yuhua Temple today?" After a long while, He Rufei said, "Now that Xiao Huaijin is back in Beijing, the situation in Beijing has been disrupted again. At this time, every step is crucial. . That Xiao family and our He family... are not the same people."
"I didn't say anything." Mrs. He said softly, her eyes flat, "I just glanced at his fiancee."
Xiao Jue's fiancée is He Yan - the name that the whole He family is reluctant to mention, it always reminds them of bad things in the past.
He Rufei smiled, "What is the second aunt doing? My cousin has passed away. Even if she has the same name and surname, you wouldn't think that this He Yan is your dead daughter."
"I told you a long time ago," He Yuanliang had already put away his usual smile, his face was extremely ugly, "Don't mention He Yan again, He Yan is dead, it has passed, you should Our whole family can't be killed!"
Cui'er knelt on the ground, her body trembling non-stop. She had already been bought by Mrs. He Da. In normal days, let alone going out, even in the mansion, Mrs. He Er's every move had to be reported to Mrs. He. This is also the case when going up the mountain this time. She didn't follow Mrs. He to use the fast food. She only saw Mrs. He and Xiao Jue talking from a distance. be rewarded.
But now, Cui'er regretted it. The He family's secrets did not avoid her... This is not because of trust, but because, even if a dead person knows the secret, it is useless.
She had no chance at all to reveal the secret.
"She's already dead," Mrs. He Er looked at him, and there was a trace of anger in her originally dull eyes, "She can't harm the He family, it's the He family who harmed her!"
"What do you mean?" Mrs. He's face turned cold, and her voice was very dissatisfied, "Are you resenting us now? You knew it when you made the decision. Besides, this is for the entire He family!"
"What do you mean for the whole He family?" Mrs. He sneered, "When I made the decision, did I have the right to choose? She didn't die for the whole He family, she died for your greed. You killed them. My daughter, but she has no guilt or regret. She is already dead, I just want to see my daughter again, even if she has the same name and surname, even if I know it's impossible, I also want to see my daughter!"
By the end of the story, I was already hysterical.
"Second brother," He Yuansheng frowned slightly, "Is this how you usually discipline your wife?"
He Yuanliang said angrily, "She's a lunatic! I already said that keeping her is a scourge!"
"You kill me," Mrs. He Er laughed miserably, her eyes full of despair and madness, "If you kill me, you won't be afraid that the secret will be known. If you kill me, I can also go down to the ground to reunite with my daughter. Look in the sky, those of you who stole the fate of others, how long can the glory and wealth you steal last? Even if you are a ghost, I will curse you every day in the ground. "
He Yuanliang angrily said in the night, "Crazy, crazy!"
He Rufei's eyes were cold, and she said lightly: "Second aunt, don't say that, even if you go underground, your cousin may not be willing to reunite with you - after all, you were the one who pushed her down that road. You are not qualified to do it. Her mother, even if she goes underground, she will hate you."
Mrs. He Er was stunned by what he said, and for a moment, tears welled up in her eyes, and she whimpered in pain.
"Second aunt, don't keep talking about life and death. Don't you forget how sad the second sister is when you die."
Mrs. He's crying stopped abruptly: "... Xinying, Xinying, she doesn't know anything!"
"Of course I understand that the second sister doesn't know anything," He Rufei smiled noncommittally, "otherwise she wouldn't be alive until now, and she would marry Xu Zhiheng."
"Second aunt doesn't want to say it, it doesn't matter. What you said, I will go to Xu's house tomorrow, and the second sister will tell me everything." He Rufei played with the wrench in his hand, "It's just second aunt, you have to know, He Rufei. Yan is already dead, but you are more than one daughter, if you want to kill another daughter, you can do whatever you want."
"I won't... I won't tell anyone," Er Madam He knelt down with a plop, and climbed in front of He Rufei, "Don't hurt Xinying, she doesn't know anything!"
He Rufei helped her up and said with a smile: "Xinying is so well-behaved and sensible, how could I hurt her. Second aunt doesn't need to worry, but I see that second aunt's condition is getting worse and it is really not suitable to go out, so I declare to the public. If you are too sick to get out of bed, find a doctor for treatment." He seemed to be pitiful, "Second aunt treats the disease well, and after a while, all these things will pass, and it will be fine."
"Someone—" He ordered the guards outside to come in, "send the second lady to the yard, and rest from today, no strangers to be seen."
Mrs. He Er was pulled out of the hall, and the dispute with He Rufei had exhausted all her strength. No one else in the room said a word. After Mrs. He left, He Yuansheng frowned and said, "Is this really good? I always feel that keeping her will cause trouble sooner or later."
He Rufei glanced at He Yuansheng, and a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes. This man did not have any talent in his career, but he took up an official position based on He Yuansheng's relationship. Even so, the cowardice and selfishness engraved in his bones were quite a lot. As for his wife and daughter, as long as his interests are involved, he can kill the killer without hesitation, but the one who is unwilling to make the final decision, He Yuansheng is much more decisive than him.
"Second uncle, don't worry," He Rufei smiled lightly, "If there is a heart, the second aunt will know what to do. Besides, if the second aunt has an accident now, it will be even more suspicious. At this juncture, the He family should be cautious. "
"If not," Mrs. He Da asked worriedly, "then what should we do now? If Xiao Huaijin really knew something, wouldn't everything we do be in vain?"
When He Yan was still alive, He Rufei would still discuss with He Yuansheng and his wife He Rufei about the size of the He family, but since He Yan died, the He family had all listened to He Rufei's arrangements. In the eyes of the He family, the greatest danger has completely disappeared with the death of He Yan. In the future, there are only countless prosperity and wealth waiting for the He family. It's just that now because of Xiao Huaijin's entry, the pattern has changed. There are many loopholes in that security, and it doesn't make people feel completely relieved.
"I'll go to Xu's house tomorrow." He Rufei narrowed his eyes, "Second Aunt has kept a secret for so many years, and with the second sister by her side, even if she comes to talk to Xiao Huaijin, she won't say too much. Compared to this, I am more worried about Xu Zhiheng."
"Xu Zhiheng?" He Yuansheng said, "What happened to him?"
"The villain is a waste, timid as a mouse, and can't be used for great purposes." He Rufei spoke of Xu Zhiheng with disdain. This person always talks about the scenery, but unfortunately, when he encounters something, he is immediately scared and timid. At the palace banquet that day, I saw a person with the same name and surname, and I was so frightened that I almost exposed myself. But I didn't even think about how the dead could come back to life. It was clear that someone had instructed them behind their backs, just to make them mess up.
He can still be calm, but Xu Zhiheng may not. If Xu Zhiheng can't stand the intimidation, his head is dizzy and he does something wrong, his own accident is minor, but with his temperament, he will definitely reveal the secrets he knows and tell the He family. All involved.
If it weren't for the fear that he would start to fight grass and startle the snake now, compared to Mrs. He Erfei, it was Xu Zhiheng that He Rufei wanted to silence. Because to a certain extent, the secret that Xu Zhiheng knows is not necessary for Mrs. He.
Even in order to appease the military, he must meet Xu Zhiheng as soon as possible.
"That's it." He Rufei stood up and rubbed his forehead. There were too many sudden situations these days. He was not completely unaffected. Look, that girl is kneeling very low, her body is sluggish, showing a white neck, and she looks particularly vulnerable.
"What about this girl?" He Yuanliang asked.
He Rufei glanced at Cui'er with pity, then stepped over from her side with a blank face, and said, "Kill it."
There was a woman's scream in the house.
…
The next day, He Yan went to Xu's house.
When she went, it happened to be a coincidence that she saw a carriage of the He family stopped at the entrance of the Xu residence, and He Rufei got off the carriage. The servants of the Xu residence welcomed him in the door familiarly. He Yan stood at the corner of the opposite street, most of his body was hidden in the shadows, and he lowered his eyes to hide the ridicule in his eyes.
In the eyes of outsiders, He Rufei probably came to see his sister. Only He Yan knew that he had only seen He Xinying at Yuhua Temple yesterday. Big things. She also understood one thing in her heart. Mrs. He has the eyeliner of the He family around her, and in all likelihood, she is no longer free now. It seemed that her appearance made He Rufei panic to some extent.
There is no point in staying here. She turned around and walked towards the teahouse she had made an appointment with.
In He's house, when Xu Zhiheng saw He Rufei, he pulled him into the study as if he saw a savior, closed the door, turned around, and couldn't wait to ask, "How is it, did you find out who the woman named He Yan is? In the end, why did you come?"
He Rufei looked at him contemptuously: "You haven't seen him for a few days, and you are so scared that you don't even dare to leave the door?"
"You don't know... I don't know..." Xu Zhiheng had a headache, "You never spoke to Marquis Wu'an that day, her demeanor and actions were very similar to He Yan, and I always felt that her eyes were not that simple. There will be a resurrection of the dead, and she must know something. She's here for us!"
He Rufei sat down on the chair in the room and said unhurriedly, "Even if she came for us, it's not unreasonable."
"What do you mean?" Xu Zhiheng asked.
"Don't you wonder if she is really He Yan?" He Rufei said, "Then kill her again, whether it is true or not, as long as she is dead, that's fine."
"How is this possible?" Xu Zhiheng was horrified: "She is now Xiao Huaijin's fiancee, how dare we touch Xiao Huaijin's people?"
Xu Zhiheng didn't go online with Xu Xiang. For the Xu family, it was natural that they would not conflict with Xiao Jue without conflicting with Xiao Jue. He Rufei couldn't tell Xu Zhiheng that Xiao Jue had already set his eyes on the He family because of Xu Xiang's relationship. Otherwise, Xu Zhiheng, a timid waste like a mouse, might have informed Xiao Jue in an attempt to gain a chance of life.
He Rufei said: "My people have already checked, that He family in Shuojing had a feud. Although the matter is over, now because of Xiao Huaijin's relationship, no one will take the initiative to bring it up, but the other party is dead. A son may not have no resentment in his heart. I guess that the death of the young master of the Fan family has something to do with He Yan. If someone kills He Yan..." He smiled slightly, "The people of the Fan family seek revenge for this, it is really a matter of nature. reason."
Xu Zhiheng was a little moved when he heard it, but he was still worried, "If you do this, Xiao Huaijin may not find out... That's General Feng Yun."
"I am also General Feihong!" He Rufei suddenly shouted.
Xu Zhiheng was startled, but seeing the gloomy eyes of the man in front of him, it seemed that his words just touched He Rufei's sore spot. He responded, "I didn't mean that..."
"Forget it," He Rufei waved his hand impatiently, "I will arrange this matter, as long as you know it, don't do anything stupid to cause me trouble during this period. I am not here today for you. What about the shadow?"
"What are you doing with Mrs.?"
"Yesterday, she and her mother went up the mountain to worship Buddha, and they met Xiao Huaijin and He Yan on the way. I don't know what to say." He Rufei said.
As soon as these words came out, Xu Zhiheng immediately became nervous, "I will find her immediately!"
He Xinying was drying books in the yard, knowing that He Rufei was here, and took the initiative to call her over, the first thought in her heart was not happiness, but nervousness.
Xiaoliu asked her, "Madam, why do you look so ugly?"
He Xinying took out the mirror and looked at it. Seeing that her lips were white in the mirror, she asked Xiao Liu to take a mouthful of grease and sip it hard. After taking a deep breath, she put on a smile and walked to Xu Zhiheng's study. go.
When they got to the study, He Xinying called out, "Husband, eldest brother."
Xu Zhiheng hurriedly told her to sit down.
"Big brother passed by the mansion today and came to see you by the way." Xu Zhiheng smiled, "Big brother cares about you very much."
He Xinying thanked her obediently.
"I heard that you and Second Aunt went to Yuhua Temple to worship Buddha yesterday," He Rufei looked at He Xinying and smiled, "Second Aunt has been in bad health recently, so it is good to worship Buddha."
He Xinying nodded: "Yes, I see that my mother is not looking well, and I am very worried."
"Father has hired a famous doctor to come into the manor to take care of the second aunt's body, but you are just too worried." He Rufei said with relief, and then, he changed the subject and asked casually, "I heard that the two of you, Did you meet General Feng Yun and his fiancee at the temple yesterday?"
He Xinying's heart tightened, but she didn't show any sign on her face, showing a surprised expression, "I didn't expect Big Brother to hear about it! My mother and I were quite strange to see the two of them at the time, I didn't expect General Feng Yun to be so cold. A cold and indifferent person can even believe in Buddhism?"
"Being in Buddhism has nothing to do with this." He Rufei took a sip from the tea cup and said with a smile, "What did you say?"
He didn't ask "Did you talk?", but said "What did you say?" It seems that their every move in the temple has been known, and He Xinying is even more nervous. What, looking at He Rufei, he seemed to know everything.
But He Xinying was not completely stupid, she sighed when she heard the words, and looked a little sad, "Big brother also knows that after my sister's death, although my mother didn't say it on the surface, she was really sad. Hearing that Dudu Xiao's fiancee , I have the same name and surname as my sister, so I wanted to take a look."
"My mother only asked one question, 'Your name is He Yan'. I was afraid of offending Governor Xiao, so without waiting for her to say anything, I apologized to Governor Xiao and Miss He and dragged her away."
Hearing this, He Rufei also sighed, but the scrutiny in those eyes made He Xinying's spine chill. He stared at He Xinying and suddenly asked, "So, is that Marquis of Wu'an really so similar to your sister?"
Xu Zhiheng looked at He Xinying, and He Xinying's palm gradually oozes sweat.
She was stunned for a moment, then laughed suddenly, and said, "Brother, why are you like this, in the daytime, can you not say these frightening words? Although I don't have much contact with my sister, but look at that Marquis of Wu'an and He My elder sister, there is nothing in common. My elder sister is well-behaved, but the Marquis of Wuan has a lively temperament. When she talks to Governor Xiao, she is not afraid at all.
He Rufei stared at her, as if to distinguish whether what she said was true or false. Just when He Xinying felt that her smile was a little stiff, He Rufei looked away and said, "Yes."
The pressing pressure was suddenly relieved, and He Xinying breathed a sigh of relief.
"I have other things to do. Since I've seen you, it's time to leave." He Rufei stood up, as if thinking of something, then looked back at He Xinying and said, "It's not peaceful outside these few days, you just It's better to stay in the house and not go out and run around."
He Xinying hurriedly said, "I see."
He Rufei went out, and Xu Zhiheng said, "I will send the elder brother." He followed out of the study.
He Xinying sat alone in the room, and after a long while, she slowly reached out and touched her heart. For a moment, she felt that her heartbeat was about to stop. Although Xu Zhiheng said that He Rufei was just "passing by", He Xinying knew very well that he was here for himself, for what happened yesterday. However, compared to Xiao Huaijin, He Rufei seemed to focus more on He Yan.
Why
She didn't dare to think about it further, but she had to guess that He Rufei's last sentence seemed to be an exhortation of concern, but He Xinying intuitively realized that it would not be easy for her to leave the house in the future.
Are you going to be isolated from the world in this house? Involuntarily, He Xinying fought a cold war, and she did the same, but on the mother's side, the situation would be even worse.
What should she do
…
On the other end, when He Yan finished drinking the second cup of tea, Fuwang came.
As soon as he came in, he went straight to He Yan's house, and said in his mouth, "Young Master, I'm waiting for you!" Fuwang has also learned to be smart, he can't run this way every day, he will be promised The family was suspicious, but if they didn't come, they were afraid of missing He Yan. He took a little money and asked the staff at the teahouse to help him watch. If He Yan came, the staff would go to the door of Xu's house to notify Fuwang, so Fuwang could come as quickly as possible.
"I originally wanted to come over when I knew you were there, but today there is a distinguished guest in the mansion, and the young man did not dare to leave his post without permission. He had to wait for the guest to leave before sneaking over."
He Yan knew that what he was talking about was He Rufei, so he didn't ask any further. He just asked with a smile, "Since my little brother is so eager to see him, it seems that the matter of Qin mama has come to an end."
Fuwang scolded in his heart, this grandfather is really welcome, he didn't even have a greeting when he came up, it would be too impersonal to talk about business like this. But thinking about it in my heart, I didn't dare to say it on my face. Fuwang smiled and said, "There is good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear?"
"good news."
"The good news is that Mother Qin really didn't die. She has been diligently trying to find her whereabouts for the young master these days. There is indeed a clue. Although she may not be able to find someone, it is certain that Mother Qin is still there. Alive, nine times out of ten, it is at Xianghao's house outside the city. It's just that Xianghao is very cunning and can't find anyone from time to time. He has to change places every three or five times. We must be able to find out the whereabouts of Qin mama."
"Eight or nine days?" He Yan said slowly, "It's a bit long."
"No," Fuwang said with a sad face, "the little ones have to go up and down and run around. This matter is very important. The son trusts the little ones too much, but the little ones can't trust others. I'm just afraid of accidentally messing things up, naturally Impossible to be perfunctory.”
He Yan smiled, took out a piece of silver from his arms and put it on the table.
Fuwang immediately raised his eyebrows and kicked the silver into his arms. He said sternly: "As long as the son needs it, even if the youngest goes up to the mountain of swords and falls into the sea of fire, the matter must be done for the son as soon as possible."
He Yan couldn't be bothered to listen to his glib talk here, and only said, "What's the bad news?"
Fuwang was stunned for a moment, and looked around, as if he was afraid that others would hear it, so he leaned over and said in a low voice, "The bad news is, there are still people in Xu's house looking for Mother Qin's whereabouts? "
He Yan moved his fingers slightly and said, "Xu Zhiheng?"
Fuwang's eyes widened: "How do you know?" He said anxiously: "Yes, it's Uncle Xu. When I was inquiring a few days ago, I found that Uncle Xu was also asking people about Mother Qin's whereabouts. In this way, the small talents borrowed their east wind, and the investigation went smoothly without being discovered."
"Young Master, if you really want to find that Mother Qin, you have to meet someone before Uncle Xu finds her."
