After I was reborn, I became Mrs. Chief Assistant

Chapter 306 Mass Burial Mound

"So, what is the freedom in your heart?" Xie Jie still didn't forget this, repeating the old saying.

Yun Zhuo sat up, looked into his eyes, and then looked away, looking at the calm river in front of him, the autumn sun shone on the river, shimmering and shimmering.

She said: "Actually, it's nothing. If I say that I want to be able to sit and eat and avoid the troubles of the world, this is what I yearn for. Do you believe it?"

"letter."

"Then if I say, I hope to be powerful and powerful, do you believe it or not?"

"letter."

Yun Zhuo smiled and turned to look at him: "I said I want to be rich, to be the richest businessman in the world, to spend money on eating, drinking and having fun, what do I want, do you believe it or not?"

"letter."

"Why do you believe in everything?" Yun Zhuo stood up, patted the weeds on his clothes, and asked him.

Xie Jie also stood up, pursing her thin lips lightly: "If you tell me, I will believe it."

"Dangtang Chief Assistant, can you be so easy to deceive?" Yun Zhuo rolled his eyes, "I know you are making fun of me."

Xie Jie smiled: "Go back when you've had enough fun, or they'll have to wait later."

Yun Zhuo nodded and walked side by side with him.

……

Kyoto.

The rain was gurgling, dripping from the corners of the eaves to the railings, falling in bursts.

Even if the small courtyard is exquisitely repaired, in such a miserable wind and rain, it is inevitable that it will be tainted with desolation and chill.

The flowers in the yard have already bloomed, and the withered yellow color was stained by the rain, and fell to the ground, like batik rags. Anyone who saw it could not feel distressed, but only felt bored.

The remaining ones that didn't fail were also splashed with muddy water, mixed with withered grass, and lost their former glory.

The woman stood under the dripping eaves, her slim body was wrapped in a gray-purple cloak embroidered with white magnolia, which made her even more fragile.

It was Ning Xueyao.

Looking at the decaying scene in the whole courtyard, there was a hint of melancholy in her eyes.

The servant girl brought hot tea at the right time and persuaded: "Girl, the wind is cold and the dew is heavy, catch a cold carefully."

Seeing that it was Su'e who grew up with her, Ning Xueyao didn't hide her sadness, she just said: "I can save it."

Seeing her like this, Su'e couldn't help asking: "Why are you worried, Miss?"

As far as she is concerned, her girl is a poor person, but it is precisely because of this pity that she has a luck that others can't imagine. Misfortune depends on it?"

Now that the Ning family is in decline, her girl has won the favor of two people in the palace, and has been named princess, what a blessing!Why doesn't her girl always seem very happy?
Su'e didn't know why, since she came to Kyoto, her girl seemed to have a lot of things on her mind.

If it was in the past, Ning Xueyao might just wave her hands and say it's nothing, but today maybe the autumn rain aroused her melancholy, and she didn't avoid Su'e's question anymore, but said: "Look at this yard, it is clear that yesterday It was still a beautiful autumn scene, but when it rained today, it became like this."

"Su'e, I always suspect that what I have now will end up miserable like this garden full of flowers in the future because of a sudden autumn rain."

"How could it be?" Su'e said softly, "Girl, you are now the Princess of the holy mouth, who would dare..." She didn't dare to say any more, but she looked at Ning Xueyao with a firm attitude. It really relieved Ning Xueyao's melancholy.

"I was worrying too much." After a long time, she sighed.

After she finished speaking, a figure holding an umbrella appeared in the yard. It was a maidservant from the Ning Mansion, wearing a pink jacket and skirt, and the oil-paper umbrella covered her face, so that Su'e didn't recognize her until she got closer.

"Xiaochan, where have you been? Why did you come back at this time?"

The person who came was Xiao Chan who hadn't seen her for a day. Although she was holding an umbrella, her clothes were inevitably wet by the drizzle as she walked on the road.Along the way, her body was already wet, as if water could drip.But she didn't seem to realize it, she just stood in the yard and said to Ning Xueyao: "Girl, the servants have found out what you ordered!"

After she finished speaking, she fell silent.Waiting for Ning Xueyao's next instruction.

Ning Xueyao glanced at Su'e and said, "Speak."

When Ning Xueyao took Xiaochan to the Zongfu to learn piano, Su'e happened to be unable to go with her because of something, so she didn't know that Ning Xueyao was almost plotted to lose her life in the Zongfu.

Yes, after one night, no matter how stupid Ning Xueyao is, she should have come to her senses, besides, she is not a stupid person at all, almost after returning to Ning Mansion, she came to her senses—she originally thought there was a problem It only happened to the maid who showed the way and the people behind the back. Think about it later, why is there no one guarding such a big clan mansion where the master talks with the people below?If it wasn't for Zong Guangxie's instigation, but Zong Guangxie's planning... He was hiding it before it was too late, how could he dare to design it for her to catch him.

Since it wasn't Zong Guangxie, then it was the work of the person behind the scenes.

In this way, the identity of the instigator is ready to be revealed.

She already had the answer in her heart, so seeing Xiao Chan now, she didn't rush to ask Xiao Chan if she brought the maid who guided the way to the house.

Xiao Chan told Ning Xueyao about her discovery: "The slave waited outside the Zongfu for a long time, and then bought a maid in the Zongfu with money to find out what was going on in the Zongfu. At night, the maid came to tell the slave that , There is a carriage going out at the back door."

"The servant followed the carriage, unexpectedly, on a dark and windy night, the carriage drove straight to the mass grave outside the city."

Ning Xueyao frowned slightly, and she never expected that such a seemingly simple matter would cause such turmoil.

"The servant hid at the side and looked at it seriously. The person wrapped in the straw mat that was carried out of the carriage was the elder sister who showed us the way yesterday afternoon."

"Snapped--"

The tea cup in Ning Xueyao's hand fell to the ground because of her words, the warm tea splashed out and wet her cloak, but she had no time to take care of it, she just looked at Xiao Chan and asked, "Dead?"

"Dead." Xiaochan's voice was dry, she paused, and then continued, "The ones who threw the corpses at the mass grave were two women, and the servants pretended to be ghosts, and finally lured them to tell the truth."

"The servant girl is from Miss Zongsan's yard. It is said that she contracted a serious disease and died. Miss Zongsan thought it was bad luck, so they let them throw her into a mass grave."

Although Ning Xueyao had already guessed - after all, if she was able to command the guards of the Zongfu, especially the guards outside Zong Guangxie's study, apart from Zong Guangxie himself, only the favored Zong Yuexi could do it.

But when she heard Xiao Chan's words, she was still taken aback for a moment.
