Splendid Abandoned Wife

Chapter 37 Secret (Part [-])
As soon as they entered the Crane Garden, Zhiruo asked Xiang, who was good at water, to go "treasure hunting" at the crane statue in the middle of the lotus pond. Just in case, he also made people stare at everyone in Grandma Qiba's family, especially Qi Sanlang.

Ah Xiang went smoothly. As soon as he arrived at the lotus pond, he saw a small boat. It was still clean. It was obviously used by people often. He secretly sighed that the girl was really lucky.Because the target and direction were clear, Xiang groped around and soon found the wooden box Zhiruo had mentioned, but it was nailed and could not be opened.

Zhiruo looked at the chaotic family rushing out of the door with a sneer on her lips: It was all thanks to this family, otherwise she would not have known that there was a treasure hidden in the lotus pond. Obviously, my mother didn’t know either.

Grandma Qi Ba, who was about to step out of the threshold, suddenly turned back, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Nephew... aunt, I... have a big secret. Can I exchange it for five... no, 300 taels of silver?"

Zhiruo looked at her with a half-smile.

Just when Grandma Qi Ba was furious and was about to run away, she heard a faint voice: "Tell me, if it's really worth it, I can consider it."

As if Grandma Qi Ba heard the sound of nature, she didn't care about the word "consider". Anyway, this "secret" might be useful to Yin Zhiruo, but it was completely useless to her.However, she looked at the people standing on the left and right, not because of Zhiruo, but because she was afraid...of revenge!

Zhiruo felt funny, but still said to Uncle Qiang and the others: "You can go out, just stay outside like spring and winter."

Ruchun and Qiangbo happened to know that Zhiruo was good at martial arts. Not to mention an old woman, even a few burly men were no match for her here.Then he smiled and Yiyan led the others out. Rudong was still a little uneasy. After closing the door, he nervously raised his ears and looked inside, murmuring: "Sister Ruchun, Mrs. Qi won't set any ambush." Bar?"

Although the girl has been practicing martial arts with the general every morning for more than ten years, isn't it all to make the general happy?Apart from morning exercises, the girl never practiced any other exercises, and she had never seen her show off her skills.It wasn't until the past two months when the girl taught the three girls to practice boxing and fitness in the back garden that they knew what the "Five Animal Opera" was. It looked as soft as dancing, so what use could it be?Ruqiu also joked that women naturally practice embroidered fists and legs.

Seeing Rudong's little face wrinkled up in worry, Ruchun smiled comfortingly and said, "It's okay, the girl knows what's going on. Do you think that family can set up any ambush?"

Rudong thought about how grandma Qiba and her family almost lost their temper just now, uh, that seems to be what happened.However, she also suddenly thought of what the girl had just said. What on earth had the family committed in Huizhou that they were so afraid of others knowing about?Also, how did the girl know?
In the room, Zhiruo was still holding a cup of tea and savoring it carefully, with an elegant posture, neither too broad nor too hasty, as if he had forgotten that there was another person in the room.

Grandma Qi Ba broke into a thin sweat again. Why could this great aunt put so much pressure on people just by sitting there without saying a word? She was obviously the same person, but why did she become like this after a trip to Luo City? horrible?
At this moment, she didn't have the slightest thought of bargaining or making a big show of the lion. She said in a trembling voice: "Ten days ago, I went to the General's Mansion to ask for a meeting with the princess, because the tea in the greedy manor was so good that I drank several cups of it. As a result, I felt anxious when I reached the south corner of the garden. I couldn't hold it in anymore. There happened to be a small cave behind the rockery, so I hid in it and relaxed for a while. Unexpectedly, Mr. Yin Er and Mrs. Yin Er couple How come we met there by chance, and even asked everyone around us to step away and say a few words, they mentioned the general as soon as they opened their mouths." Grandma Qi Ba paused deliberately here, wanting to see Zhiruo's reaction. .It's a pity that Zhiruo is still focused on drinking tea, with an attitude of "you can talk or not".

In fact, Zhiruo was intoxicated by a picture she drew in her head at this time. Well, there was indeed a hole behind the rockery in the south corner of the garden of the General's Mansion. She had also run in and played in it when she was a child, but the hole was too small. Come on, it’s hard for Grandma Qi Ba to be hunched over inside.

Zhiruo glanced at Grandma Qiba again, well, this old woman should be less than 1.5 meters tall and dry, and she seemed to have some "conditions", haha, no wonder she was hiding inside and eavesdropping without being discovered.

Grandma Qi Ba could only sigh secretly and continued: "I heard the second lady asking the second master if he had succeeded. The second master said that the general was too cautious and could not do anything, but the drawers in the study did not even have locks. No, he didn't think the general would put anything important there. Then the second lady cursed, saying that Mr. Yu was deliberately making things difficult for them. How could anyone look for something without knowing what it was, whether it was round or flat? How to find it? He also said that he didn’t even know who the mysterious master behind him was, right?

At that time, the second master seemed to be frightened, and shouted "Shut up" in a low voice. He also said that the master behind Mr. Yu wanted to get rid of them like squeezing an ant to death. On the contrary, if he climbed up to him, he would become rich and powerful in the future. The ministers are all at ease.It was all because the general was too stubborn, did not know how to accommodate, and was too trusted by the emperor, so the master had to get rid of him. "

Zhiruo put down the teacup and looked directly at Grandma Qiba to judge the authenticity of those words.Did it turn out that the second uncle and the second aunt were really the traitors who cooperated inside and outside and killed their parents?In the previous life, I just hated them for being so ruthless that they sold Mingze and the others to a place like that. They also colluded with the Qiu family to frame her and divide her dowry.It turns out that their cruelty and ruthlessness are far more than that!

Grandma Qiba was most afraid of Zhiruo looking at her wordlessly like this. The gaze that seemed to penetrate everything made her breathless. She quickly swore: "Auntie, I swear that I never said a word of lies. These are the exact words of the second master and second wife."

Zhiruo's voice was as cold as water: "You mean the second master and second wife killed my parents?"

"No, no," Grandma Qiba waved her hands in fright, "I didn't say that, I...I..." Yes, she lost her head?Isn’t Yin Zhao guilty of treason?Why is she saying this?The emperor is the one who conspired and committed crimes. Doesn’t that mean that the master behind Mr. Yu is the emperor?Oh, yeah, she's going to die, why is she saying this?Want to be dragged to the Meridian Gate?

Grandma Qiba wanted to slap herself twice, but didn't she just want to exchange it for a few hundred taels of silver?A family of more than ten people cannot return to Huizhou. What can they do with the little money they have saved?But...but it's better than being beheaded, right? "Auntie, you think I didn't say anything, stop asking, let me go, let me go, wuwuwu, I don't want to die."
