Chapter 235 Saving People (2)

Dong Yuan didn't want to quarrel with the child in front of the second master, and if he couldn't win the quarrel, he carried his parents out and claimed to tell his father.

However, she didn't have much contact with the second master, and she didn't know his nature, so she didn't dare to bet against him rashly.Afraid to annoy him, and if he sees through Dong Yuan's pretentiousness, he pushes Dong Yuan lightly at that time, because Dong Yuan fell down by himself and hurt the unsteady child in Dong Yuan's womb, Dong Yuan would cry even if he wanted to too late.

She had no choice but to carry Sheng Changhou out.

The third master and Sheng Changhou didn't know that Sheng Xiuyi had gone out because of the second master's affairs, so they didn't come to ask the second master.

Dong Yuan is very clear.

However, as soon as she said "Ask Daddy", Second Master's expression changed slightly, and the uneasiness and worry in his eyes could not be concealed.

Dong Yuan was both secretly happy and sad.

She secretly rejoiced that the second master really knew where Sheng Xiuyi had gone.Knowing a little bit of the reason is better than running around for Sheng Xiuyi like a chicken without a head; what makes her uncomfortable is that the second master is really related to Sheng Xiuyi's disappearance.

"Sister-in-law..." The second master put away his sneer and forced a dry smile, "I really don't know where elder brother has gone. I have been in the mansion these days, and everyone in my yard can testify."

Of course he didn't know.

What he was responsible for was to pick out the things, set a trap for Sheng Xiuyi to drill himself, and then he picked it up himself.When Sheng Xiuyi encounters misfortune, he may be established as the son of the world.

Of course, this may all be second master's own thought, or it may be said by others when he was tempted by second master.

But Dong Yuan didn't think so.

Not to mention that Sheng Changhou's eldest son, Sheng Xiuyi, has an eldest son and a second son, even if Sheng Xiuyi has no descendants, Shengchanghou will probably kill the second master first, and then think about the issue of inheritance.

Why did the second master receive the Shengchang Hou Mansion in the first place?That was Sheng Changhou's last resort.He killed the owner of the family and wanted to seal his mouth, so he had to take his nephew with him.

Some of the family property may be distributed to the second master in the future.

As for the title, Second Master definitely shouldn't have that thought.

Looking at the anxiety in the second master's eyes, Dong Yuan felt that he didn't care about government affairs all day long, and lived a life of debauchery, maybe he really didn't have that knowledge, was fooled by outsiders, and really moved the idea of ​​a title.

She felt chills.

Why did Sheng Xiuyi run around without any scruples about the second master's affairs, so that he disappeared now?It was because he regarded Second Master as a brother, and he took the initiative to reconcile because he was afraid that Second Master would be beaten by Sheng Changhou again, and he would not be able to get out of bed for two months like last time.

Who knows, what his brother thinks is how to plot against him.

The second master is probably because of the title, so what about the outsiders?
Why do you want to harm Sheng Xiuyi?

Dong Yuan remembered that Sheng Xiuyi had told her that Sheng Xiuyi wanted to accompany the new emperor to sacrifice on Mount Tai.The ministers traveling together this time should be the humerus of the imperial court, right?
So is someone dissatisfied with Sheng Xiuyi?
"Second Master, I won't force you, you just need to tell me, where will the Elder Master say to deal with your affairs?" Dong Yuan stopped in his tracks, turned his gaze back to look at the Second Master, "Who on earth is trying to harm the Elder Master? "

"Sister-in-law is thinking too much, didn't elder brother go to Jinan?" Second Master calmed down completely, smiled and played Tai Chi with Dong Yuan, "Who wants to harm elder brother?"

Looking at his smiling face, Dong Yuan burst into anger from the bottom of his heart.She is not used to shouting loudly, the angrier she is, the more difficult it is to speak.After a long while, she said: "In that case, I'll go and tell daddy in person. What did the second master do? He insisted on going back to Huizhou, and he came out after checking..."

The second master knew that Dong Yuan was not cheating on her, and Sheng Xiuyi had indeed told her that he was out to deal with his affairs, so he fell into the trick.

There was a bit of haze on his face, and his gaze towards Dong Yuan was even more fierce.

There is nothing terrible about being angry.

Angry people tend to lose their minds, are better in control, and are easier to deal with than calm people.The second master was angry, but she calmed down instead: "What is the second master looking at me like this? Could it be that the second master doesn't want me to tell daddy, or let me out of this door?"

Second Master's eyes brightened slightly, and his gaze became more ruthless.

Dong Yuan smiled brightly: "...When I came, the women in the yard, the women on duty at the corner gate along the way, and even the second master who filled the yard, who would not know that I came here? If I were later Go back, my mother in the house will definitely send someone to look for it. I didn’t go to pay my respects, and my mother was also worried..."

After thinking about it, the second master also felt that forcibly keeping Dong Yuan in Xiguiyuan or even murdering her would not work at all, and the light in his eyes also flashed.

Dong Yuan felt cold in his heart.

She doesn't despise the second master.Marquis Shengchang promised to raise him and give him the status of a prince of the Marquis's residence, but he regretted it when he arrived in the capital. He was only told that he was born in a common house and raised under Mrs. Sheng's name, which greatly lowered his status as a second master.Although compared with the second master's previous identity, it is already a cloud and mud, but Sheng Changhou's indifference and even hatred towards the second master made the second master have no sense of belonging in this family.

Looking at the intimacy between Sheng Xiuyi and the third master Sheng Xiumu, and the alienation of Sheng Xiuyi brothers from the second master, it can be seen that the second master is not doing well in this family.

He can't even find affiliation here, how can he be asked to have family honor?

He even imagined that after Sheng Xiuyi's death, the third master himself would have the title, and the succession of the Marquis of Shengchang would fall on him, that's why he attacked Sheng Xiuyi.

Once the root cause is found out, Dong Yuan will not be able to hate the second master.

If you really carefully judge the right or wrong of the matter, is it true that Sheng Changhou killed his brother rightly?Marquis Shengchang made mistakes first, which is why Second Master is wrong today.

If he could see a bright future, Er Ye probably wouldn't act like this.It seems that although he is absurd on weekdays, I heard that he spends his days and drinks outside, but he does not behave badly at home.

He has nothing to redeem, but he has nothing to hate either.

Although I don't hate it, I feel cold in my heart.

"Second Lord, your set of crabapple and frozen stone teacups looks ordinary, but in fact they are hard to find. The crabapple flowers on the teacup were made by Zhang Jixian, a master painter of the former dynasty...Master Zhang loved painting on porcelain all his life. , my grandfather collected two pieces of blue and white porcelain vases. I’m afraid the price of your set of frozen stone tea cups is not lower than that of porcelain vases, right?” Dong Yuan saw Er Ye put away the anger in his eyes, smiled and said to him, “This set The teacup, who gave it to the second master? Shall I tell daddy to send someone to investigate?"

Second Master's face became even uglier.

After a long while, he said slowly, "How are you doing?"

"Tell me, where did the elder son go?" Dong Yuan said, "You don't need to tell me anything else, just tell me where the elder son has gone. I will tell daddy, it was the elder son who told me before he left. The place to listen, I promise not to involve the second master..."

The second master couldn't help laughing out loud.

Dong Yuan threatened him so much, let alone not involving him, he felt that the woman's lies were really ridiculous.

Although the second master is not as meticulous as Sheng Xiuyi and not as ruthless as Sheng Changhou, it does not mean that he is stupid.

In the mansion, he was tied up and couldn't let Dong Yuan die with a single stroke.Because he couldn't guarantee the safety of Second Mistress and Sister Hui.

If he escapes, I'm afraid the end will be even worse.

The only thing to do is to refuse to admit it.

But if Xue Dongyuan turned over this set of frozen stone tea cups and showed it to Sheng Changhou, Sheng Changhou would also find out that it was given to him by his fifth uncle.

Although his fifth uncle is the son of Princess Wen Jing, he has no backbone.He dares to do anything sneaky on weekdays.

At the beginning, when he molested the young lady of Yuan's family and made the girl's belly bigger, Mrs. Yuan San was so angry that she wanted to sue.Later, he begged the second master again and again, and gave the second master 5 taels of silver to let the second master take care of the matter. He also promised to honor the second master with 5000 taels of silver every year in the future.

The second master is not lustful, he just likes to gamble.

At that time, he went to an underground casino in Hebei with a few people from the Captain's Mansion, intending to win a big game, but lost 3 taels in one go.

He was in the Captain's Mansion, and he only had 15 taels of silver per month.In addition, he didn't have much business in Sheng's family, and he was also extravagant on weekdays. He couldn't afford that much money for a while, so he almost made a fuss in front of his father.

The second master is very afraid of Sheng Changhou.

After thinking about it, he had no children for many years, if a girl came back and gave birth to a son and a half for him, maybe his father would be happy.

Who knows, Sheng Changhou is so vicious, he would rather the woman and the flesh and blood of the Sheng family live outside than let them in.

Because of this incident, the second master's thoughts about Sheng Changhou were completely eliminated.

As long as he made a mistake, Sheng Changhou would punish him to death.

Sheng Changhou used all the methods he used to deal with his political opponents in the officialdom to deal with the second master.From then on, the second master never dared to take chances, and lived honestly under the nose of Shengchanghou.

Otherwise, why did he "stay in bed" for half a year when he was beaten?He was avoiding the limelight of Marquis Sheng Chang, showing weakness to save his life.

Sheng Changhou is very protective of his own son, but he is cruel to those he doesn't like.

Now if Marquis Sheng Chang knows that the second master is going to kill Sheng Xiuyi, then the second master will die.

He couldn't help sneering, looked at Xue Dongyuan: "Xue Shi, go and tell father..."

After finishing speaking, he grabbed the crabapple jelly teacup on the table, slammed it on the ground, and said with a smile, "There is no evidence, what do you want?"

Dong Yuan also sneered: "Second Master, do you think Daddy believes my one-sided story, or your real evidence? As long as I tell you that you know the whereabouts of Shi Ziye, Daddy will torture you right away? Are you going to kill me right now? Kill him and run away, leaving the second younger brother and sister Hui behind, or tell me where the elder son went?"

Second Master's face was pale.

He felt that Xue Dongyuan was not a simple woman.At least she thought of all the ways that Second Master thought of.

She also wanted to block the second master's back road.

Second master now, Fangfo can only trust her.

I can't kill her to silence her, because if the second master can't kill those maids and women in Dongyuan, they are still the servants of the Sheng family who know; he has no time to escape, and when he leaves, his wife and children are even more annoying in the mansion Look down on it, and may even be killed by Sheng Changhou.

Sheng Changhou never regarded them as relatives.

He only hated that this matter was not handled strictly, and Xue Shi knew about it.

"If I told you..."

"If you tell me," Dong Yuan said, interrupting the second master, "I'll just say that the elder son told me before leaving. Second master's, I don't say a word, otherwise I will be struck by lightning .”

People in this day and age believe in these oaths.At that time, there was no Western learning, no science, they believed in reincarnation and retribution.

Dong Yuan's poisonous oath finally let the second master loosen a bit.

"Brother will be handed over to Dali Temple after his court today. His Majesty will not interfere with the interrogation at Dali Temple. Even if you know who did it, what can you do?" The second master finally sighed, and had to say, "I tell you, this This matter has nothing to do with Xue's family, why don't you go back and ask Lord Zhenxian, what is the reason for the elder brother's matter..."
