Lady Zhao

Chapter 113

Mu Wangfu, in the boudoir of the princess.Because Zhao Wenwan had news about what he asked Mu Lanyan to inquire about before, and because of the accumulation of various things about Leng's kidnapping and returning, he came here in a hurry because he was free now.The Shenji Pavilion delivered the detailed files of the Leng family and the Shen family back then, and they actually pushed a thick stack on the desk. A servant who looked like a maid was explaining beside them, and the two listened to the truth of the past. They all took a deep breath.

Zhao Wenwan put down the teacup, frowned deeply in surprise, and finally let out a melancholy sigh. "It turned out to be... like this."

There were dark emotions in her eyes, and then she searched for something in the file information, and suddenly her brows became deeper. He picked up the portraits of the gangsters who raped Leng back then and looked at them one by one. One of them flashed in front of his eyes. She finally understood the reaction of the Leng family at the door when they met the nouveau riche. No one would have guessed that one of the people who participated in the kidnapping had slipped through the net and transformed into the owner of a restaurant in the capital.

"A hateful person must have something to be pitiful..." Mu Lanyan also sighed faintly.

Zhao Wenwan lowered his eyes, thinking about what Leng Shi did to him that day, and after knowing the truth, he didn't know what to say for a while.Poor, it is indeed pitiful, but Zhao Wenwan's sympathy for a person who almost harmed him is limited.

"What are you going to do?" Mu Lanyan couldn't help asking.

"I...haven't thought of it yet." Zhao Wenwan leaned on her chin, and her expression became more bewildered. After learning about Leng's fate, her original hatred had an inexplicable hidden taste. A little disturbed.

When it came to Zhao Wenwan's family affairs, Mu Lanyan didn't want to give her advice, she just told her to be careful.After the two separated, Zhao Wenwan returned to the mansion with contradictory thoughts, but there was no movement from Leng's side, presumably because the appearance of that person was too shocking.

And that person... Thinking of the reason why he came to the house, Zhao Wenwan couldn't help lowering his eyes and thinking deeply.

One day, the maid of Mingxu Garden came to spread the message that the old lady invited the eldest lady to have lunch together. It was said that a batch of fresh seafood was brought from Linhai, and Chef Tang made a whole sea banquet.Zhao Wenwan changed her clothes and went there, and found that everyone was there, except Mr. Zhao who had gone out to socialize, and Zhao Yuanli who lived in the son-in-law's mansion, so it was hard to get everything.

The old lady has always left room for Zhao Wenwan, as soon as she sees someone, she invites them to sit there. The family banquet is hosted by the old lady, and the table is filled with dishes one by one. set a table.

Because the old lady didn't have to restrain herself when speaking before, eating during the banquet was much more relaxed and casual.Zhao Hongshi was busy spinning around for a while, and it was rare for him to have time to have a meal together. The old lady asked casually, and Zhao Hongshi talked about the results of these days without concealing his excitement.

"There is a restaurant in the south of the city because the owner's management is not good, and it is difficult to maintain the profit and loss every month. I sell it at a low price. I see that the location is good. If it is sold, I will redecorate it and put the name of big brother on it. It's going to be bad." Zhao Hongshi suddenly paused when he was excited, "Even if the owner of the house thinks about staying and getting a job, I'm still thinking about it."

Zhao Wenwan blurted out and asked, "The fourth uncle is talking about the Qingfeng Restaurant in the south of the city? The one who has been guarding the door for the past two days?"

As soon as this was said, Leng Shi, who had been serving Zhao Hongshi with a smile, froze the corners of his mouth, and Zhao Hongshi said in surprise, "Wan girl also knows about that family?"

Then he continued, "It is true that it was quite famous before I heard it, but it only declined after the cook left."

Zhao Wenwan's voice became hoarse, and she never expected that person to hit up Fourth Uncle, Qingfeng Restaurant, isn't it that person's, who lowered the price and wanted to get a job in Fourth Uncle's restaurant, it was inevitable that he would not teach Leng in the future Shi saw... She secretly glanced at Leng Shi's expression, obviously she also thought of it.

"I heard from my elder brother before that the squirrel mandarin fish and honey sauce fire recipes in Qingfeng Restaurant are the most authentic, but they don't have such a good taste." Zhao Wenwan said casually.

"Hehe, when Fourth Uncle's restaurant opens, I will find you a cook who can cook, and let you taste what you want."

"Then Wenwan wishes Fourth Uncle's restaurant to open soon."

"Hahaha……"

While speaking, Zhao Wenwan could feel Leng's gaze sweeping past him from time to time, knowing that she was on guard against him, and just pretended that she didn't see it, and after a while she was distracted, and made a secret decision in her heart.

After dinner, Zhao Wenwan followed Zhao Hongshi out of Mingxu Garden. When they came to a fork in the road, Zhao Wenwan proposed to talk to Zhao Hongshi about something, but it was a private matter that was inconvenient for outsiders. Zhao Hongshi was surprised, but Still according to her request, he went to the study alone.

Leng watched the two of them leave, the hand under the sleeve tightly clenched the handkerchief, since seeing that man has kept her awake for a few days, her nerves were so tense that she was about to be pushed to the brink of collapse, her heart was ruthless Trembling, there was a hint of ominous premonition, and his legs couldn't control, and he followed quietly. Zhao Hongshi and Zhao Wenwan had already entered the study room, and Leng slowly pressed his ears to the crack of the door with his heart in his arms.

"Fourth Uncle... the shopkeeper of Qingfeng Restaurant is not a serious businessman... Back then he..."

Leng's ears were buzzing, she couldn't hear any words clearly, and her heart twitched suddenly, only to realize that she was so scared waiting for this moment.

"Just wait, don't teach me to grab a trace of evidence, otherwise, the whole family will definitely see your true face. If Fourth Uncle knows that the person next to his pillow is so vicious, let's see if he will protect you like he did before!"

Zhao Wenwan's words echoed in her ears that day, and Leng shivered uncontrollably while holding her body, and then she couldn't restrain herself from trembling lightly.She must have known that the embarrassment that had been buried for so many years would be laid out in front of that man, her husband, that was her god, her fate!How would that person see himself if he knew about it?Do you feel dirty, or regret... Thoughts are chaotic, and finally condensed into real hatred, all directed at one person.

Shen Zhenniang, Zhao Wenwan, why...why did you force me so much, Leng almost left the garden as if fleeing.

The time of the two sticks of incense passed quietly, and Leng's face returned to a calm and peaceful look. In fact, it was just the calm before the storm. His trembling hands revealed some real emotions, and he went to Zhao Hongshi's study with tremella pear soup. The servant who was guarded outside told the master that he was dealing with business, and ordered no one to disturb him.

Standing outside the study, Leng Shi suddenly heard the sound of a teacup being smashed inside. The shattering sound seemed to hit the tip of her heart, and the hand holding the tray tightened until it turned pale, and the blood on her face suddenly turned pale. After retreating cleanly, he stared at the closed door for a long time before turning and leaving with a gloomy expression.

Little did they know that not long after she left, another servant came over, thanked the servant on duty at the door, and asked who had been here when he was not around, and after he had finished listening, he knocked hard. The new boy made a chestnut, and said angrily, "That's Madam, can he be in anyone's shoes, you, you, you... I'm so pissed off."

But after all, after all, he still didn't dare to go in and report, and kicked the boy, making people go away quickly.

And the plate in Leng's hand who left from the study was lost at some point and where, and he was walking in a daze, with only one thought in his mind, he knew it, he didn't want to see himself again, he just thought about it, Her heart felt like being sharpened by a blunt knife, she couldn't see the bleeding, but it hurt to the bone, her sky finally collapsed, what was the meaning of all she did, the tearing and clamoring in her heart had no meaning, no more , everything should end!
Passing by the lotus pond, looking at the slightly swaying and distorted blurred figure reflected on the surface of the pond, for a moment, I had the idea of ​​jumping off, but retracted my hand when it touched the railing, no, I can’t die like this, at least... Pull her together!
In just a moment, all the hustle and bustle in his mind faded away like a tide, only this year was deeply entrenched, the whole person suddenly woke up, subconsciously touched the self-defense dagger he was carrying with him, it was a gift from the fourth master, at that time he thought she was She took a fancy to the beautiful decoration on the dagger, but she didn't know that she liked the sharpness of its tip more.

Leng Shi sneered, and she invited Zhao Wenwan to Mingxu Garden in the name of the old lady. Zhao Wenwan didn't notice for a while, so Leng Shi who was ambushing on the road held him upright, with the dagger pressed against his throat, and said in a low voice. Say a word and don't move.

Zhao Wenwan immediately guessed that the person behind him was Mrs. Leng, and the tip of the dagger pressed tightly against his neck, and he could feel warm liquid oozing and flowing.

"Are you crazy?" Otherwise, Zhao Wenwan couldn't figure out why this person would use such a straightforward self-destructive method.

When Leng heard this, she laughed softly, as if answering her words, and more like talking to herself, "I'm crazy, and that's what drove you two crazy, why, I kept it a secret for so long, you But tell him?"

"Tell me what?" Zhao Wenwan felt that something was wrong, but Leng did not give her a chance to speak. She pulled the dagger upwards, and soon there was a mark on Zhao Wenwan's neck, and the dark red blood ran down the neck. It looked terrible.

Zhao Wenwan only felt a pain in her neck, but she knew that she hadn't exhausted all her strength, so she tried to save her, "Did you misunderstand something? It's not good for anyone. There are people coming and going in this house, and they will be gone soon." Even if people find out, you won’t be able to escape.”

"There is no misunderstanding, some of them are jokes, do you think I look like a joke?" Leng Shi didn't care, and she laughed loudly after the cold voice passed from behind her ears, "What am I afraid of until now, I want to let you Others look at Shen Zhenniang's true face, that hypocritical slut, and you, are just as despicable and despicable!"

Back then, because of the power of the Shen family, she was wronged for many years, and no one knew her pain... After she came back, she overthrew Mrs. Ye and removed Mrs. Xu, and became the head wife of the Duke's mansion. She tasted power and even more It's because I made up my mind never to let anyone step on and humiliate me as I did back then!

She raised her head and smiled violently, shouting loudly, her eyes were scarlet.

With the yelling, more and more people gathered around, and the noise of surprised discussions made the surroundings chaotic, most of them begged the fourth grandma to let the eldest miss go.

But Leng turned a deaf ear, seeing the old lady rushing over with a dove stick and the man who was supposed to be in the study, her eyes gradually became bright and cruel.

With trembling hands, Mrs. Zhao squeezed into the crowd as they gave way, and said through gritted teeth, "What are you going to do... let my precious granddaughter go?"

"Yue Niang..." Just as Zhao Hongshi was about to open his mouth to speak, Leng shook his head and interrupted eagerly, "Don't say...I...I don't want to hear anything from you. No one is allowed to say anything, or I will kill you." her."

The dagger in Leng's hand tightened, the old lady quickly waved her hand, and everyone shut up quickly. There was silence for a moment, only the sound of nervous heartbeat and chaotic breathing was extremely clear in this quiet and strange atmosphere.

Zhao Wenwan suddenly said at this time, "You said you want to expose my mother's true face in front of everyone, so tell me, how is my mother?" There was no trace of tremor in that voice.

Leng's eyes swept over the people present, and finally looked at Zhao Wenwan, and said without hiding his resentment, "I and Shen Zhenniang are sisters, everyone knows that when we were traveling, we were kidnapped by mountain bandits, but we don't know who they were going to kidnap. It was your mother, but your mother abandoned me. Those people used me as a pretext for business affairs, and the man you found was Huang Guansan, who was the leader of the kidnappers. Knowing that I want to take revenge, so I took the first step to expose the incidents of the year, so that I could not gain a foothold in Dingguo's mansion, and even be kicked out of the mansion."

"Do you think this is the suffering I have experienced? No, there are more painful ones. Not long after, I found out that I was pregnant. How embarrassing and disgusting. The scars on my wrists were cut at that time. I I want to die, but God doesn't accept my life. The Leng family abandoned me because of the Shen family's relationship, and let me fend for myself in the Taoist temple. It's shameful to have such a daughter, but I still didn't die, and that child told me The same low life, no matter what method I use, it just took root in my stomach."

"Later, the child was still born." Leng paused, as if trapped in the memory of the past, with a gloomy expression on his face, "It was a night of thunder and lightning, and my whole body was almost exhausted. The moment I saw the child, I suddenly gained strength again for no reason. I grabbed his tender neck, exerted more force, and more force, he cried until his whole face was blue and purple, and finally he didn't even make a sound. ……he died."

Leng's voice seemed to be laughing, but to Zhao Wenwan and everyone else's ears, it sounded more like crying.When she told the story of the year, Zhao Hongshi had already come to him, staring at the scene in disbelief, and finally realized when she finished speaking, "You..."

Hearing Zhao Hongshi's voice, Leng's hands trembled slightly, and Zhao Wenwan felt another knot on his neck, causing everyone to exclaim.

"—Don't act recklessly!" Zhao Hongshi couldn't help but said hastily.

Leng Shi Youyou looked away, and said with a sneer, "I won't let her die so easily." As if confirming what she said, he held the dagger tightly, enjoying watching Zhao Wenwan's dying look.

"What kind of crime is this, Mrs. Leng, let Wan girl go quickly, those who want revenge and death will come to my old lady, let me go!" The old lady looked at her, almost fainted in anxiety, but forced Holding on to the dove stick, he pleaded.

And Zhao Wenxi, who had been in the crowd for a long time, stared at this scene closely, and also held his breath, thinking in his heart that it would be great if Mrs. Leng could help her solve Zhao Wenwan. If she died, would Gu Jingxing be able to notice it? own up.

Two of Zhao Wenwan's personal maids were also among them, as well as two maids with strange faces. Xueyan lowered her head and whispered a few words under the cover of the crowd, then picked up the objects in her hand, and found a slightly empty place. Di'er let go of his hand, Tianxian jumped towards Leng's like an arrow.

Suddenly frightened, Leng subconsciously waved the strong wind that hit her face. The two servant girls beside Xueyan moved their hands at the same time, one of them kicked Leng's dagger-holding wrist, and the other protected Zhao Wenwan from danger. .

With a jingle, the dagger fell to the ground, and Leng's force knocked him to the ground. Everyone rushed forward to check Zhao Wenwan's injuries. Leng looked at the crowded place, knowing that he had missed the opportunity and was nothing to love. Driven to despair, he gritted his teeth, swooped forward, picked up the dagger, lifted it up, dropped it, and stabbed it straight to the heart, blood splashed all over the front of his clothes immediately.

"Yue Niang!" Zhao Hongshi was the first to notice it, but before he could stop it, he hurriedly hugged the limp Leng Shi with a panicked expression. "Call the doctor quickly, hurry up!"

Leng looked up at the strong arms surrounding her, and gradually asked with some difficulty: "Master, don't you think I'm dirty, don't you want to see me again, cough cough."

"Yue Niang, what stupid things are you talking about? Why don't you want to see me? Even so, you are still a victim. Why...why did you hide it from me!" Huo, how could there be an earth-shaking change.

Seeing the man clutching his wound in panic, Mrs. Leng realized that she seemed to have misunderstood something, so she yelled "Master", but suddenly slammed into a pair of scarlet tear-filled eyes, and the second time, "Master" With a choked sound.

"It's good to know you." Leng said laboriously, "But I'm too miserable in this life. In the next life, let's get to know you better again."

In the crowd, Bao Chan came hurriedly with a servant woman, the woman exclaimed Miss Leng at first when she saw this scene, and then she was at a loss.

Squinting her eyes slightly, Leng recognized this person as Zhenniang's personal servant girl. From the looks of it, she must be married.

Baochan said emphatically, and the maid's eyes were moist, "Miss Leng is so stupid, you are so stupid, you are so guilty, the lady was brought back after being knocked out, and as soon as she came back, she asked the master to save you. Regardless of opposition, I personally followed you over and over again. At that time, the old slave was there, but I couldn't find you. Later, the Leng family moved out of the capital, and the lady lost contact with you, but this matter became a heartache for the lady. I cry every time I mention it, I miss it very much.”

"You... oh... what's the matter!"

After hearing this, Leng's eyes widened in disbelief, and then his body gradually turned cold with the loss of blood, and his eyes fixed on Zhao Wenwan blankly, "You and your mother are very lucky, but unfortunately I... luck."

The voices beside her were far and near, a little more unreal. In a trance, Zhenniang stood at the light source, looked at herself crying and laughing, stretched out her hand, and Leng's also stretched out her hand, only raising her hand. The moment suddenly fell, and I lost my breath.

"Yue-mother!" Zhao Hongshi raised his head in pain and roared. In a short while, there was a rumbling thunder in the sky.
