world wife

Chapter 161

When Lian Xiyu heard Xiulan's reply, she became more and more sure that the Rongguo Mansion must be hiding a huge secret, and it was related to Zhao Lingyi.

"You order someone to investigate the matter of the eldest lady marrying into the Rongguo Mansion." Lian Xiyu ordered in a deep voice, Xiulan nodded, and before she went out, she met Xu'er with a pale complexion standing at the door,
"Xu'er, what's wrong with you?" Xiulan asked in confusion.

Xu'er shook her head slightly, and did not enter the room until Xiulan had left.
"Girl, I know a little bit about what happened back then." Xu'er looked at Lian Xiyu and said, but she seemed to be thinking about what happened back then, and her eyes were still full of horror.

Lian Xiyu saw the panic in Xu'er's eyes. When she saw Xu'er, she knew that she had a secret in her heart, but she didn't expect it to be related to this matter.

"Go ahead."

Xu'er gritted her silver teeth slightly, and slowly began to recall the events of that year.

"My maidservant was only four years old back then, but she was magistrate earlier than ordinary children, so she remembered clearly." Xu'er looked at Lian Xiyu, and slowly stroked a burnt scar on her face.

"That night, the maidservant's mother brought the maidservant to watch the night in the madam's yard. The madam was the uncle's biological mother. The slaveservant didn't know how the madam married in at that time, and no one knew the identity of the madam. Knowing that Madam's beauty is extraordinary, at that time, I had my uncle's elder brother with me, and my grandfather was already pregnant in her belly." Xu'er raised her eyes and glanced at Lian Xiyu when she said this, Lian Xiyu nodded slightly
"I know that Grandpa has another brother."

Xu'er nodded and continued
"Later, I was already four or five years old when I arrived, but the slaves had heard other wives talking in private, saying that when the wife married into the Rongguo Mansion, she had already brought my elder brother with me, and the people in the mansion only respected me as the second master at that time. , and the older child was the uncle. At that time, there was a lot of discussion outside, but the master ignored the rumors outside and treated his wife and the two masters very well. However, one day, many black-clothed men suddenly came to the wife's yard. People." When Xu'er said this, her whole body trembled, and her complexion became paler and paler.

"Madam was killed by them, and then the older child was wronged as a murderer and hanged himself?" Lian Xiyu said for Xu'er.

Xu'er's eyes were already filled with tears. The wife was clearly killed, but the master only said that the wife died of a serious illness. Later, I don't know who blamed the crime on the master's brother. That night, he So he set fire to the courtyard, and the slave girl's mother was burned to death in that fire, but the slave girl escaped by luck. "The tears in Xu'er's eyes had already fallen.

"Where's Zhao Lingyi?" It's impossible for Zhao Lingyi not to know that such a thing happened in the first place.

"I was picked up by the old lady after my wife's accident, and he was not allowed to go out. Even my wife's funeral was hastily held at that time, so I couldn't come out to express my condolences." Xu'er replied.

Lian Xiyu lowered her eyes, now she knows why Zhao Lingyi dislikes the old lady
"Do you know who those men in black are?" Lian Xiyu asked, why did a woman in the inner house invite men in black to assassinate him, and Master Zhao seemed to be very shy.

"I don't know." Xu'er shook her head.

"Then did anyone know about this at that time?" Lian Xiyu asked, maybe he could know something if he found other people at that time.

Xuer continued to shake her head
"At that time, all the people who knew about it were replaced. Because the servants were young, they only thought that the servants were ignorant, so they stayed."

"Have those people from the beginning been dealt with?" Lian Xiyu asked, but he was almost certain in his heart. Since Master Zhao and the old lady are so taboo, they will definitely not keep people who know about it, but Listening to Xiulan's reply, the eldest lady obviously knew about this matter, but she didn't know if she was involved in it.

"Yeah." There was obvious sadness in Xu'er's eyes.

Lian Xiyu looked at Xu'er, knowing that she hadn't come out of the past, so she didn't ask any more questions, but only asked about the letter she sent.

"Miss Yang Fei has already started to pack her bags and prepare to leave the capital, but she was stopped by Lord Liu before she left the city gate, and she is now in Yang's residence." Xu'er smiled when she thought of Yang Fei.

Lian Xiyu nodded lightly, Liu Shi is a safe person, she doesn't have to worry about Yang Fei with this person around, but she doesn't know what will happen when Yang Jingtian comes over.No matter, the current priority is not here.

"You're tired today, go down and rest, we'll talk about the rest tomorrow." Lian Xiyu looked at Xu'er and said.

Xu'er nodded, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, turned around and left the room.

Unknowingly, night fell quickly, Zhao Lingyi had ordered people to come over for dinner, and even Xiyu had to wait.

When Zhao Lingyi came over, his face was a little gloomy, but after seeing Lian Xiyu, it turned into a gentle smile
"Yu'er, have you been waiting for a long time?" Zhao Lingyi asked with a relaxed look.

"Never." Lian Xiyu replied lightly, ordered someone to serve the meal, and the two sat together and started eating slowly. Lian Xiyu didn't think much about this appearance, but Zhao Lingyi looked at Lian Xiyu from time to time , a contented smile appeared on his face, if it was so smooth and smooth, the two of them would live happily ever after.

After the maid took down the things on the table and brought up the tea, Lian Xiyu and Zhao Lingyi sat on both sides of the warm couch, speechless for a while, Lian Xiyu only held a book and sat slowly by candlelight. Look, even the sound of turning pages is clearly audible.

Zhao Lingyi looked at Lian Xiyu like this, wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask, fearing that if he asked, he would get the result he didn't want.

"Why did the princess come to look for you today?" Zhao Lingyi asked, but it wasn't about Wei Jingheng that she had called out in her dream.

"It's nothing, it's just that I want to ask me to leave Rongguo Mansion." Lian Xiyu said lightly.

"She dared to threaten you!" Zhao Lingyi was clearly angry when he heard Lian Xiyu's words.

Lian Xiyu raised her head, facing Zhao Lingyi

"What if I say I agree?"

"Yu'er?" Zhao Lingyi looked at Lian Xiyu, his fists were already clenched, and then his voice was lowered.
"I won't let you leave. I will solve the matter in the capital as soon as possible, and then take you away." Zhao Lingyi got up and was about to leave after speaking, as if he wanted to escape all this temporarily.

"The prince's matter can be resolved in a few months, but what about the Rongguo mansion?" Lian Xiyu closed the book and put it aside, looking at Zhao Lingyi who wanted to continue deceiving himself.

"Lingyi, I just saw the matter of Rongguo Mansion from the surface and knew that this time it was far more complicated than I imagined, and you should know it in your heart, why bother to deceive yourself?" Lian Xiyu looked at Zhao Lingyi and continued. Xu'er's maid also retreated with Xu'er, and only two of them were left inside after closing the door.
