The courtyard is deep in spring

Chapter 113 Letter

The strength of the man was too great, both of Xu Zhao's front teeth were knocked to the ground, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. Hearing this, he cried bitterly and shouted: "My lords, I was wrong, please forgive me!"

"Forgive you?" Hearing this, everyone else in the room also burst out laughing, the man with the scar gave Xu Zhao a playful look, and there was a hint of cruel excitement in his voice: "When your wife dies , you should have that self-knowledge, if you can't live, you should tell me how she died!"

"Yes, did the concubine ask you to ask?" Xu Zhaowen said, he who was timid and about to die suddenly gained a bit of strength from nowhere, and his whole person was not the same as before.

"So what?" the man with the scar said coldly.

"Hahahaha..." Xu Zhao heard the words, suddenly raised his head and laughed wildly, his face was covered with tears and blood, and his voice was filled with infinite joy and satisfaction: "Anyway, I'm going to die, why should I say that? Let the princess live with this mystery for the rest of her life! Hahaha! Her most loyal servant girl betrayed her for me, and I am honored to die!"

"You don't know how to live or die!" The man with the scar suddenly had a gloomy look on his face when he heard this, and he kicked Xu Zhao so hard that he lay on the ground and couldn't move for a long time.

However, he still refused to speak.

The man with the scar flashed his eyes, and suddenly approached Xu Zhao, squatted down and approached him and said, "Don't think I don't know, you are working for Mrs. Lin, is it Ling'er who he asked you to seduce?"

Xu Zhao closed his eyes and said nothing.

"Let me guess, you would rather be tortured to death than confess her because Mrs. Lin has your whole family in her hands?" The scarred man said slowly, "I heard that before Ling'er , you actually have a wife, and she gave birth to a son for you. In order to do this, you can get more money from Mrs. Lin, so you moved your wife and children far away, right? "

Xu Zhao, who was pretending to be dead, suddenly opened his eyes after hearing this, looked at the scarred man with a little horror, and said in a trembling voice: "Where did you hear this? You are talking nonsense! I only have one wife, Linger!"

"It's really a boiled duck, with a hard mouth." The scarred man sneered, stood up slowly, and turned his head to wink at a man standing at the door.

The man got the order, turned around and left.

In the room, Xu Zhao was still arguing loudly: "What do you guys want to do? I have already been captured by you, even if you want me to die, I am willing to die! I am willing to be with Ling'er underground, You have involved so much to do..."

Before he finished speaking, there was a soft sound outside the door, followed by the sound of footsteps, and the next moment, a shivering woman holding a little boy who was only two years old was pushed and shoved away from the outside Come in.

As soon as Xu Zhao saw the woman and the child, great fear burst out in the eyes of the whole person, and before he could react, the child in the woman's arms stretched out his hands towards him, crying: :"father……"

Xu Zhao didn't dare to answer, his whole body burst into great anger instantly, he turned his head and stared at the man with the scar angrily, and shouted: "You just arrest me, why are you arresting them? You crazy people! What are you trying to do?"

"We don't want to do anything." The man with the scar slowly took out a small and sharp dagger, took it to grind his thick calluses, and said casually while grinding: "We just want to know the truth about Ling'er's death .”

Xu Zhao shut his mouth at once when he heard the words, and his whole body collapsed to the ground like a deflated ball.

"Sister! Just say it! Do you want to watch our mother and son die in front of you?" Xu Zhao's wife is a simple woman in her 20s, with the simplicity of a countryman in her eyes, but there is also a shrewdness. The situation in front of her made her fully realize that if her husband refused to speak up even after he died, then the two of them, mother and child, would definitely be in trouble today.

How could she allow this situation?
Naturally, she desperately begged her husband.

"Daughter-in-law, it's not that I refuse to say..." Faced with his wife's crying, Xu Zhao felt as uncomfortable as a needle prick in his heart, but he still couldn't speak.

Having said that, their family has no way out.

"It's quite a backbone." Seeing the man with the scar so far, Xu Zhao still refused to say, sneered suddenly, strode over, snatched the child from the woman's arms, and held it with his hand. The dagger gesticulated back and forth on the child's fair and tender face: "Are you really unwilling to say? Your son's life is also lost?"

Although the child was young, he also foresaw the danger. When the cold dagger was attached to it, he suddenly burst into heart-piercing cries.

"Wow!--"

This loud crying sound was particularly harsh in the silent basement. Seeing this scene, Xu Zhao finally changed his face.

Seeing this scene, the woman also yelled at Xu Zhao crazily: "Xu Zhao! You are inhuman! That's your son! Do you want to watch him die? Why did you marry such a worthless person like you..."

The scolding sound mixed with his son's cries, forming a most lethal weapon, Xu Zhao's inner defense line was finally broken bit by bit.

"I said! You let him go!" He finally spoke.

Hearing this, the man with the scar sneered slightly, and said: "Isn't it enough to be so obedient? Your son doesn't have to suffer this kind of crime." After saying this, he took away the dagger, but did not return the child to the woman.

Xu Zhao knew that if he didn't say anything, the man with the scar would pull out his dagger again. This time, it would definitely not be as simple as just gesturing on his face.

He gritted his teeth, and finally opened his mouth slowly: "During the time when the Crown Princess lived in the Lin Mansion, Mrs. Lin was very dissatisfied with her always dominating the Crown Prince's eyes, but she couldn't find a way to deal with her. By design, the Crown Princess can always dodge easily, and I, Mrs. Lin, arranged a dark chess game when the Crown Princess moved into the Lin Mansion."

"The purpose is to get close to Ling'er, the only trusted maid beside the princess?" the man with the scar asked.

"Yes." Xu Zhao nodded, and then said: "Mrs. Lin thinks that as long as I confuse Ling'er and marry her, it will be much easier for Mrs. Lin to know about the Crown Princess in the future. But what I didn't expect was that as soon as the matter was exposed, the princess directly left Ling'er in Lin's mansion, and instead took away Liu'er who was beside the lady. Now the lady was very angry, because Liu'er was not hers people."

Hearing this, the man with the scar suddenly showed a sneer on his face: "Mrs. Lin finally didn't attack the people around her daughter. She still has a little humanity. What happened next?"

"Later, no matter how hard Madam tried, in the end the Crown Princess still didn't have the role of my young lady." Having said this, Xu Zhao had no scruples, and said it all at once: "Concubine Ronggui once summoned Madam and Miss into the palace. , During the conversation, it was revealed that my young lady was going to be the concubine of the crown prince, Madam was overjoyed, but this matter was finally settled because the young lady didn't want to."

"This incident coupled with the stimulation of the princess's big wedding, the madam finally couldn't bear it anymore and sent someone to bump into Ling'er." When Xu Zhao said this, an inexplicable sadness appeared on his face: "Poor Ling'er, it's just like this!" One dead body and two dead, when I got the news, I just saw her for the last time."

After he finished speaking, the whole person was already sobbing.

"That Ling'er was originally a slut, she deserves to die!" But at this moment, Xu Zhao's daughter-in-law suddenly yelled frantically: "She was originally going to die, and it was Madam who sent someone to kill her in the end. What's the matter with Mr. Xianggong? Let us go!"

"Meiqin, shut up!" Xu Zhao turned pale with shock when he heard this, and hurriedly scolded his wife, but it was too late, the man with the scar sneered when he heard the words, suddenly raised the child in his hand high, and said with a sneer: " Just now, your husband-in-law admitted that it was him who seduced Ling'er! That's why all of the following happened, and now you still say that it has nothing to do with you?"

"Let go of my son!" Meiqin didn't listen to what the man with the scar said at all, all her eyes were on her son, and when she saw this, she rushed towards the man with the scar!
The man with the scar didn't move at all, a man standing beside him suddenly raised the handle of the knife and swung it around, Meiqin was hit on the head, rolled his eyes, and passed out.

Seeing this scene, Xu Zhao suddenly went crazy. He struggled to get up from the ground and tried his best to find the man with the scar: "I've already told you everything you need to know! Why did you kill my wife?"

"You can see clearly, if you want to kill her, my people can't use the handle of the knife at all!" The man with the scar grabbed Xu Zhao and threw him to the ground, just right on his unconscious mother-in-law .

"I'll kill you!" Xu Zhao howled, turned over and got off his wife, turned her over, put his hand under his nose and smelled it, and felt the slow breathing, and he relaxed. down.

Looking around at his daughter-in-law, Xu Zhao did not see any bloody incisions. Only then did Xu Zhao believe that the man with the scar was telling the truth.

"You let my son go!" Xu Zhao shouted.

Now, because he has told all the truth, he has relaxed a lot and is also a lot bolder.

"Your son can be let go, I never kill innocent people." The man with the scar gave Xu Zhao a condescending look, and said expressionlessly, "But because of you, Ling'er died, and you think the princess will let you go?" Is it?"

When Xu Zhao heard this, a trace of panic appeared on his face.

"All of this is Mrs. Lin's idea, and it has nothing to do with me!" Xu Zhao shouted loudly, "I'm just following orders. The Crown Princess wants revenge, so I should go to her!"

"Of course Mrs. Lin and the Crown Princess will not let you go." The man with the scar said slowly, "But you are the real culprit who directly caused Ling'er's death, and the Crown Princess will not let you go either!"

"I don't want to do that either!" Xu Zhaowen burst into tears after hearing the words: "Before Mrs. Lin attacked Ling'er, I had a premonition, so I begged her for a long time, begging her to let Ling'er go, but later Mrs. Lin Ask someone to guard me, and when I see Ling'er again, she will be dead!"

The scarred man listened expressionlessly, and when Xu Zhao finished speaking, he was silent for a long time.

The only sound in the room was Xu Zhao's weeping, and the hoarse crying of a child.

"Put their family here first, and deal with it after reporting to the Crown Prince Ming." The man with the scar took a look at Xu Zhao and knocked him unconscious with a punch.Turned around and left.

The other people in the room did not leave, but stayed here silently.

When Li Yu told Ye Zhaoqing all this, she was sitting in the East Palace having lunch, and she put down the bird's nest porridge that she had just eaten.The expression on his face is very complicated.

"Go ahead and eat!" Li Yu raised his eyebrows and said, "Look at how thin you are!"

Ye Zhaoqing raised his eyes and glanced at him, and said in a calm tone: "If you really want me to eat, you won't tell me in advance."

Li Yu laughed when he heard the words: "I was so excited, I wanted to tell you the news immediately, but I forgot that you were eating, I'm sorry, I will pay attention next time."

"Then Xu Zhao, do you really say that?" Ye Zhaoqing raised his eyes to look at him, and said.

Li Yu nodded and said: "Yes, the real situation is similar to what you expected. If it wasn't for the investigation, I really don't know that this honest Xu Zhao already has a wife. This kind of thing is really embarrassing.”

"He doesn't want to die yet!" Ye Zhaoqing sneered when he heard this.

Li Yu nodded when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "Yes, no one wants to die, but why did he go so early? Everyone has to pay the price for what they do!"

Ye Zhaoqing was silent when he heard the words.

Li Yu glanced sideways at her, suddenly smiled, approached her and said, "Qing'er, I see you are like this, are you planning to spare this Xu Zhao's death?"

"You have such an idea?" Ye Zhaoqing immediately raised his eyebrows upon hearing this.

Li Yu smiled and said: "Keep this Xu Zhao, use his wife and son as a bargaining chip, coerce him to obey your orders, won't it be twice the result with half the effort to deal with Madam Lin like this?"

When Ye Zhaoqing heard the words, he looked at Li Yu without blinking his eyes.

Li Yu's face turned red in an instant, and he said coyly, "Qing'er, why are you looking at me like this? Did you suddenly notice that I'm pretty handsome?"

"No seriousness." Ye Zhaoqing immediately rolled his eyes when he heard the words, and said in a calm tone: "Mrs. Lin is a woman, and I am also a woman. There are plenty of ways for women to deal with women. Why do you have to do such a shameful thing?" Said He paused and said, "What's more, I'm very stingy. Anyone who offends me should not be lucky. This Xu Zhao must die!"

When Li Yu heard her talking about being 'stingy' in an upright manner, he felt inexplicably happy in his heart. He smiled and said, "Okay, okay, it's my thoughts, okay. Lose."

"Let the woman and child stay!" Ye Zhaoqing added: "We won't hurt innocent people."

When Li Yu heard this, his eyebrows raised immediately, and he said quietly: "Qing'er, you are so smart, you don't know the truth that wild fires are endless, and spring breeze blows again? Keep these two people, maybe something will happen in the future Come on."

"That's not necessarily the case." Ye Zhaoqing sneered when he heard the words, raised his eyes to look at Li Yu, and said, "You think highly of them too, but a woman and a child will be sent to the barren mountains and ridges in the future. What's the trouble?"

After saying that, he paused and said: "Besides, after Xu Zhao died, the woman will always remarry, right? If she behaves recklessly, will the in-laws allow it? Since you are so worried, ask the good people below to do it to the end and help her. Xu Zhao's in-law's family should find a good one! Find a stronger man, so that she won't worry about her restlessness in the future."

Li Yu stared at Ye Zhaoqing for a long time after hearing the words, Ye Zhaoqing was a little embarrassed, and then he suddenly said: "Qing'er, if you are ruthless, you are not as good as me, but I like you very much!"

"Go to work!" Ye Zhaoqing rolled his eyes when he heard this.

Li Yu stared at her deeply, then turned and left.

Ye Zhaoqing watched his leaving back disappear, then slowly picked up the Fen Ji sword placed on the shelf at the door, and gently stroked it.

Now, the sword has returned to her hands.

Murong Shen, why did he do this?Is it just because of the collapse of the rockery, I feel guilty towards her?
Or is he trying to hide something?
Ye Zhaoqing is not stupid, she naturally knows that a good rockery cannot collapse in an instant, she herself is not fat, and with her own weight, it is impossible to crush a rockery that is not too low in an instant.

The only explanation is that someone manipulated the rockery to lure him up on purpose.

Who is the one?Murong Yan?
In Ye Zhaoqing's mind, there was that beautiful woman, with two dimples on the corner of her mouth when she smiled, she looked like a charming girl.She was in a trance for a moment.

It should be, isn't she?
Several hours later, Li Yu came back: "Qing'er, Xu Zhao is dead."

Ye Zhaoqing sat there motionless, and nodded his head after a long time: "En."

Xu Zhao died, but she didn't feel much relieved.Mrs. Lin, the mastermind behind Ling'er's death, is still living a happy life. She must, make her pay the price!
"Qing'er, you hate him so much, do you want to see Xu Zhao's body?" Li Yu sat down beside him and asked.

"How did you die?" Ye Zhaoqing asked without answering.

Li Yu was silent for a moment, then said: "He committed suicide by biting his tongue. When I went, he was already dead."

"Really? That's really cheap for him!" Ye Zhaoqing said with a sneer.

"Qing'er, by the way you look, are you ready to attack Mrs. Lin?" After spending so long together, Li Yu could still guess what Ye Zhaoqing was thinking.

"She has done so many evil things, shouldn't she be punished?" Ye Zhaoqing asked back.

Hearing this, Li Yu sighed immediately, then slowed down his voice and said, "Qing'er, she really deserves to die, but have you considered Lin Xirong's feelings? If she hates you because of this, the friendship between you two will be destroyed." ..."

Ye Zhaoqing fell silent when he heard the words, his face was full of confusion.

"It's because of her that I show mercy to Mrs. Lin time and time again, but she intensifies." Ye Zhaoqing said with some difficulty: "Could it be that because of Lin Xirong, I have to endure it for the rest of my life if I have to consider her feelings? ? Who thought about me?"

Hearing these questioning questions, Li Yu couldn't help but hugged Ye Zhaoqing, pulled her into his arms, and softly comforted her: "Qing'er, don't be sad, in fact, everything Mrs. Lin has done, Lin Xirong She can see it in her eyes, she has always been full of guilt for you."

"What can guilt do?" Ye Zhaoqing couldn't adapt to Li Yu's sudden tenderness, so he pushed her away, and said a little uncomfortable: "I don't ask her to give up her mother and stand by my side, but the most basic thing is right and wrong. There must be one, right? Could it be that if I take action against Mrs. Lin, she will hate me for the rest of my life?"

"You're right." Li Yu nodded immediately when he heard the words, he didn't care about the fact that he was pushed away at all, and still tried to persuade him: "Madam Lin has done so many things, Lin Xirong feels guilty for you on the one hand. On the other hand, she is full of vigilance, because she knows that you are now the princess, and if you really want to do something to her mother, it will be really easy."

"She's on guard against me?" Ye Zhaoqing sneered upon hearing this.

"Yes, the fact is like this, although it hurts people to say it." Li Yu nodded and said: "When I was in Dingguo Mansion that day, Lin Xirong told you the news of Ling'er's death, right? You you Hearing this, you will definitely lose control of your emotions, that is in Duke Dingguo's mansion, if you do something outrageous on impulse, you will be ridiculed, but Lin Xirong didn't consider this at all."

Ye Zhaoqing remained silent.

Li Yu stretched out his hand and patted her on the shoulder lightly, and continued: "Speaking of which, she only did this for her own mother. Putting all this aside, she also treats you as a friend. Between a mother and a good sister, she chose her own mother."

"Yeah, how can the weight of friends compare to my own mother." Ye Zhaoqing said, smiled wryly, and then sighed: "It's time to make a break."

"Qing'er, what are you going to do?" Li Yu raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

Ye Zhaoqing looked up at him, and said calmly: "What else can I do? Mrs. Lin doesn't want Xi Rong to befriend me, so I'll go along with her wish, and it's not a bad idea to keep Xi Rong in the middle." Method."

Hearing this, Li Yu felt a deep sense of powerlessness welling up in his heart. Mrs. Lin was a piece of cake for him, and it was easy for him to move her, but considering Lin Xirong and even Murong Jin, So he threw the mouse into the trap, feeling that there was nowhere to use his abilities.

Finally, he sighed and said, "Okay! No matter what you do, I will support you!"

Ye Zhaoqing didn't want to listen to his opinion at all. After saying that, she went to the desk, spread out the rice paper, and was about to write a letter.

"I'll grind it for you." Li Yu said and walked over.

Ye Zhaoqing glanced at him, but didn't say anything.

Soon, the ink was ready, Ye Zhaoqing picked up the brush, paused for a while, and started writing on the paper without hesitation.

Li Yu turned his gaze to the side, not looking at what was written in the letter.

Ye Zhaoqing wrote very fast, and finished it in a short while. She quickly folded the letter paper, put it in an envelope, sealed it with sealing paint, and then called Liu'er in.
