Nongmen noble girl silly husband

Chapter 55 Identity
Silence returned to the room.

After a while, Jiuyue Niang said: "I... I didn't mean to hide it from you. It's just that my mother's status is too high... I have never been able to find a suitable opportunity to tell you, so I have been procrastinating."

Jiang Jiuyue nodded in a daze, feeling that the world was a fantasy, and such strange things happened to her.

Gently, Jiuyue Niang sighed, "Otherwise, you should go to bed first."

Jiang Jiuyue shook her head: "No, how can I sleep if I go to sleep now? Mother, your name is Linglong? Is Linglong Miaoshou a nickname?"

"My mother's name is Jiang Linglong. This Linglong master is a nickname given by people in the Jianghu."

Jiang Jiuyue was suddenly a little excited, and said enthusiastically, "Mother is a robber who robs the rich and helps the poor?"

Jiang Linglong laughed and shook her head: "What are you talking about, a chivalrous thief? He's just a low-ranking thief. Why do you think I was so surprised to see Chu Liuyun? Come here." After finishing speaking, she turned and went to the bed, and took it out from under the quilt. A handkerchief embroidered with flowers.

The handkerchief was soft in texture, and the pattern embroidered in the middle seemed familiar.

Looking at her daughter's slightly frowned eyebrows, Jiang Linglong explained: "This pattern is the pattern of the jade pendant on Chu Liuyun's waist."

Jiang Jiuyue was taken aback.

Jiang Linglong explained to herself: "My mother was originally the daughter of a fisherman in the south of the Yangtze River. When I was young, I got lucky by accident. I learned this skill, and the more I practiced, the more proficient I became. In the beginning, I also robbed the rich and helped the poor, but it has been going smoothly. There have been no problems, but after a long time, I feel that it is not interesting, and I am inexplicably interested in the big families in Yanjing. I often go to the homes of those big families in the capital at night, take things, and return them the next day. I don’t know if it’s my mother’s luck. Well, it’s still because their defense is too poor, and it’s a coincidence that no one can catch mother like this.”

"Mother gradually felt that her interest was waning, and she didn't like to take action anymore. She just occasionally heard that a merchant who bullied the market was harsh on the people, so she went to work on a case. Until one day, a mysterious person came to me. Give me this handkerchief." At this point, she fell silent, looking down at the embroidered handkerchief in her hand, her eyes were complicated, like grief, regret, and some rare regret.

Jiang Jiuyue said: "Does he want Mother to steal something from the handkerchief?"

Jiang Linglong smiled slightly, waking up from the memory, her face under the candlelight was exceptionally beautiful: "Yes, he asked mother to steal this kind of thing, and promised to give mother endless glory and wealth for the rest of her life. In the end, mother accepted."

Jiang Jiuyue wondered why her mother would care so much about those money, maybe she was young and wanted to explore the dragon's pond and tiger's lair.

"In the next half a year, my mother stayed in Yanjing and paid attention to the Chu family from all aspects. The Chu family is a big family in Yanjing. Unexpectedly, no matter how clear the mother's investigation is, she still stumbles..."

Jiang Jiuyue was slightly startled: Got caught?

"The jade pendant was actually hidden on the body of the old lady of the Chu family, and the maids around her were even more skilled than the mother, and the mother was finally captured by mistake... They asked the mother who gave the instructions... But the thief has a way, since he missed, How can I tell the employer? However, even if I want to say, I don't know who the employer is. The jade pendant of the Chu family seems to be of great importance, so I can't handle things carelessly, so I locked up my mother and attracted others to come. "

Jiang Jiuyue's heart suddenly raised her throat. I'm afraid that what Mother is waiting for will not be a rescuer, but a killer who will silence her!
"Mother knew at the time that she was bound to die. The employer knew that I had missed, so he would definitely send someone to kill me. Even if the employer didn't send someone to come, it would be a capital crime for Mother to enter Chu's house at night. It's just... it's just me. Wan never thought..." At this point, Jiang Linglong's face was stiff and pale, as if she had fallen into some kind of obsession that she couldn't extricate herself from, and her watery eyes were full of pain and regret: "My whim, It will kill your father."

father?
Jiang Jiuyue's eyes widened.

"The world only knows about the snitch Linglong Miaoshou, but they don't know about Linglong Miaoshou. In fact, there are two people. Linglong is me, and Miaoshou is your father... Your father is a master of both medicine and poison, and has a wonderful hand to rejuvenate. But in order to save me, he had to sneak into the Chu family. , In the end, he saved me, but sent his own life to the Chu family."

Jiang Linglong was immersed in grief, and she didn't seem to want to say more about the details here.

After being silent for a while, Jiang Jiuyue said softly, "Then... what happened next?"

Gently flicking the embroidered handkerchief in her hand, Jiang Linglong's smile was a bit ethereal: "Mother was pregnant at the time, so she fled alone, avoiding the pursuit of the Chu family and her employer, and came here..."

Pursing her lips, Jiang Jiuyue tentatively said, "Then after you saw Chu Liuyun for the second time, you've always had something on your mind. Do you want... to avenge your father?"

"When I saw Chu Liuyun for the second time and saw the jade pendant around his waist, I knew his identity. It's just that I promised your father that I would never seek revenge because of his death, but I already have you, mother and daughter have lived together for more than ten years, mother only has you, and I can no longer kill our mother and daughter because of my impulsiveness." Speaking of this, Jiang Linglong suddenly raised eyebrows, The conversation turned cold and harsh: "It's just that I didn't expect that there would be officers and soldiers coming to the door, so I will take you away together."

This is the real reason.

Jiang Jiuyue let out a long breath of relief, so it turned out to be the case, but her mother was so careful, she was afraid that the visit for Chu Liuyun tea that day was a test, and secondly, to confirm whether the jade pendant was something on the embroidered handkerchief. In this case, why did she refuse to ask me about my sudden change, or even about seeing a doctor?

"mother……"

Jiang Linglong put away the embroidered handkerchief, walked to the side of the bed, and lifted up the quilt and mattress that she always groped for. On the bed board, there was a hidden compartment with a lock. Jiang Linglong's wrist flexed Bend, clasp your fingertips, and with a click, the lock opens.

Bending over, Jiang Linglong took out a square box from the hidden compartment, and unlocked it in the same way.

Jiang Jiuyue was amazed. If she hadn't seen this technique with her own eyes, she would never believe it.

"Jiu'er, come here." Jiang Linglong said.

Jiang Jiuyue obediently walked forward. The box was carved from high-quality red sandalwood, with gold ingots nailed to the square corners on both sides. There was a small corner missing in one corner of the box. Jiang Linglong took out one and wrapped it in blue cloth. The burden, and then put it beside the bed and untie it.

However, among the baggage, there were several yellowed books, the top one had the words Poison Sutra written on the cover.

"Since you have already taken away the medical scriptures, take all these books away now."

What?Jiang Jiuyue was taken aback, her mother thought she had taken medical books?
Jiang Linglong thought that her daughter was embarrassed and surprised when she found out that her deeds had been revealed. She was so frightened that she couldn't speak, and said with a smile: "Mother's temperament is really not the life of reading. She was in poor health in those years, thinking that your father left behind the medical scriptures. Maybe there will be a way to cure the disease in it, but I didn’t know that after reading it for a long time, I still couldn’t figure it out, so I didn’t bother to read it again, and simply put the book on the bedside, but you girl touched it.”
