The emperor's uncle is the only favorite: the mysterious doctor's crazy concubine is going
Chapter 56 People under the window
Chapter 56 People under the window
Aunt Ju still had doubts about Shen Zhuoxi's conjecture: "It's not like she is the eldest lady. She was already promoted to the eldest lady by the grand master at that time, and she has children."
"Even the third young lady was raised in her courtyard. Even if Aunt Yang gives birth to a baby boy, he will still be a concubine, and his status cannot be compared with that of Young Master Zehuan."
"No matter how you think about it, there is no need for the eldest lady to risk killing the child in Aunt Yang's belly."
Those few years were the period when Shen Heshan was rising in official positions. Yu Qinglian was cautious and had an excellent reputation outside. Even outsiders praised the Earl's Palace for being a good goddaughter.
Indeed, Yu Qinglian did not need to do anything extra.
But Aunt Yang's hatred was real, so Shen Zhuoxi turned to ask, "Does Aunt Ju know when Aunt Yang fell into the lotus pond?"
"The lotus has just begun to bloom. Aunt Yang fell into the water while looking at the lotus." Aunt Ju thought for a while and said, "It seems to be this time."
The time was similar to what Aunt Yang said. Shen Zhuoxi was almost certain that Yu Qinglian must have done something, and Aunt Yang happened to find out!
For so many years, she had lived cautiously, not revealing any clues, just looking for opportunities to confront Yu Qinglian.
Shen Zhuoxi's sudden recovery made Aunt Yang feel like she had found an ally, and she couldn't wait to win her over, so she was inexplicably given a silver hairpin that day!
Shen Zhuoxi figured out the key at once. What he didn't understand was that Princess Xiaoqing was already gone when Aunt Yang entered the house. How did she know that Yu Qinglian killed Princess Xiaoqing?
It seems that I need to find time to have a good relationship with Aunt Yang.
The heat of the night had dissipated a bit. After Shen Zhuoxi sent Aunt Ju to rest, she sat by the window and thought about things.
The moon was sparse and the starry sky was very quiet. There were no lights in the house, only a few lanterns hanging on the porch outside.
After sitting for a long time, she got up to move around and was about to pour a glass of water. She inadvertently looked out and saw a figure in the yard, hiding behind a pillar in the corridor, looking in her direction.
The newly arrived Dragonfly and Bamboo Leaf were conscientious and could spy like this in the yard. Apart from the pillars, Taozi sat back calmly and opened the window completely.
Perhaps frightened by her actions, the figure shrank back.
It was with this movement that Shen Zhuoxi looked at the lantern in the corridor and saw the general outline - not a woman's bun, but the single bun of the male servant in the house.
It appears to be a pillar.
Shen Zhuoxi got up and went downstairs, quietly opened the door and went out.
Zhuzi still maintained that posture, looking motionlessly at the second floor window, but his eyes could not hold up, and he was blinking every now and then, on the verge of falling asleep.
He was so sleepy that he didn't notice Shen Zhuoxi coming to his side until he heard a voice: "You are up so late, keeping vigil for me?"
Zhuzhu was startled and woke up instantly. When he saw the person coming, he stuttered and said, "Miss, my servant drank too much water at night. Get up, get up."
Shen Zhuoxi's tone was serious: "Really? But I remember that the latrine is not here, and I have been observing you for a while. You have been staring at my window."
"What are the rules at the Grand Master's residence? Do you remember them?"
"Remember." Zhuzhu lowered his head and rubbed his hands uneasily.
"Tell me, why are you staring at my window in the middle of the night?" Shen Zhuoxi asked coldly: "If you don't tell the truth, I will have you twisted and sent to the police, saying that you are plotting against me!"
Zhuzi didn't know how to answer. That day, when Taozi found a man coming out of Shen Zhuoxi's window, he reported the news to the eldest lady.
The eldest lady ordered the two of them to take turns to watch the night, and they must guard the man again!
Tonight it happened to be Zhuzhu Shou's turn. He hadn't slept during the day. He was completely out of energy and unprepared. Who knew he was caught by Shen Zhuoxi.
"It seems that I can't shed tears without seeing the coffin." Shen Zhuoxi narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a louder voice: "Here comes someone!"
"Miss, miss, please don't call for people." Zhu Zhu quickly stopped her and said, "If you call, the villain will be beaten and driven out, or he will lose his life!"
Shen Zhuoxi was just trying to scare Zhu Zhu, so when he saw this, he said, "Since you are afraid of death, why don't you tell the truth?"
Zhuzi pouted, obviously afraid to say anything.
Shen Zhuoxi followed the temptation well: "I remember that all your family members died of famine, and you were sold to the Grand Master's Mansion by Ren Yazi when you were ten years old and signed a death contract. How big of a benefit is it worth risking your life?"
"Villain, villain..." Zhu Zhu paused, still not daring to tell the truth.
It was nothing more than coercion and inducement. Shen Zhuoxi knew it clearly and said straight to the point: "If you tell the truth, no matter what happens in the future, I will save your life and I will do what I say."
"But if you are lying or trying to be clever, I don't mind using you to scare the monkeys and make other servants who are planning to harm me become blind!"
The tone was cold and cold. Zhuzi trembled unconsciously, and he whispered: "It's not that the villain didn't say anything, but that the villain's body was poisoned. If the villain doesn't follow the instructions, he will relapse and die."
"Extend your wrist." Shen Zhuoxi stretched out his hand and said.
Zhuzi didn't know what she was going to do, so he stretched out his hand tremblingly.
Shen Zhuoxi put his hand on his wrist, took his pulse, and said, "A little poison can be easily removed. I will give you the antidote tomorrow. Tell me, was it the eldest lady who ordered it, or the third lady?"
With these words, Zhu Zhu boldly said: "The slave is sent by the eldest lady. Naturally, he is ordered by the eldest lady. Taozi once saw a man coming out of your house in the middle of the night."
"After telling the eldest lady, the eldest lady ordered Xiaoren and Taozi to take turns to keep vigil at night, picking off people and dirtying them. Once discovered, they would immediately shout loudly to attract others."
"No matter what the relationship between that man and you is, once word gets out, your reputation will be ruined. By then, both the Queen Mother and His Highness King Yu will be extremely disappointed in you..."
That was the original idea.
Pediatrician, Shen Zhuoxi snorted disdainfully: "Are you so sure that someone will come?"
"It doesn't matter if no one comes." Zhu Zhu said, raising his eyes and looking at Shen Zhuoxi cautiously, and said: "Miss Third is well prepared. Within ten days, men's clothes and personal belongings will be found in your house."
"It is impossible to argue with anyone about such private property, and even if the villain and Taozi come forward to testify, it will be a conclusive accusation."
No wonder Taozi and Zhuzi have been very well-behaved in recent days. It turned out that they had already planned it.
Shen Zhuoxi hummed and said, "Go down and rest first. Just pretend that this didn't happen. You and Tao Zi will still take turns guarding you. Let me know when Shen Jingya makes any move. Do you understand?"
"You..." Zhu Zhu hesitated and said, "Don't you punish the slave?"
"You were also instigated by others." Shen Zhuoxi smiled and said, "You are a smart person. I forgive you for not telling the eldest lady and the third lady about the revelation."
"Otherwise, if I bite back and say that you took the initiative to take credit, your death will be even worse."
Zhuzhu shuddered and said repeatedly: "I will never dare to speak nonsense. I beg the second lady to save my life."
"The antidote will be included in the tea for you tomorrow." Shen Zhuoxi turned and walked back: "You know what to do in front of Taozi, right?"
"I know, I know." Zhu Zhu responded repeatedly and said: "Since I am serving you in Qingfeng Tower, I will only be loyal to you."
Shen Zhuoxi didn't take Zhuzhu's promise seriously.
He can rebel once, and he can rebel twice.
Now, it's just using him, there's no need to worry about it.
