Abel quietly left the Su Mansion, leaving two secret guards to protect Cheng Lan.He rode back to Tang Mansion alone in a carriage and returned to Li Haitang.In a remote courtyard in the back house of Su Mansion, since receiving the news of her husband's death, Wang said that she was sick and moved out of the courtyard where she lived, and took two wedding maids to live in the most remote courtyard of the back house.This courtyard used to be the place where Mrs.
Su studied the family recipes during her lifetime, but now it is desolate.The news of Wang's serious illness spread throughout the Su Mansion, and even if Master Su brought back the body of his son Su Muchun during the day, she did not go to the front yard to greet him.Although Mrs.
Su was dissatisfied with her daughter-in-law's coldness, her son's funeral was the most important, and she had no time to ask the Wang family.The small courtyard in a single corner is cleaned up, so that there is a sense of freshness and refinement hidden in the world.Cheng Lan sneaked into the courtyard at dusk and was not in a hurry to show up, he nested in a corner of the courtyard to monitor the three maids and maids, and found that one of Wang's two dowry maids had a strange whereabouts.He wanted to follow the maid, but found that someone was hinting at him on the rooftop, and then took the initiative to follow him instead.Cheng Lan was happy to relax, just staring at the Wang family.In the middle of the night, the two maids went back to sleep in the wing room together.He waited for a long time, and was about to get up and sneak into the main room when he found that the nearest window was open, and Wang beckoned to him.He took a few steps to the base of the wall, jumped into the window like a fish, and rolled forward on the ground, his movements in one go.Wang smiled and said, "Brother Cheng, what's the hurry, no one in this courtyard has arrested you." ”"I'm afraid your two maids will see it."
Cheng Lan patted the dust on his clothes and took the initiative to move a stool to sit down.Wang came to the table, poured a cup of hot tea with his own hands, and said, "They were drugged by me, and they can't wake up even if they beat gongs and drums."
Brother Cheng squatted in the corner for almost three hours, drinking a cup of tea to warm up his body. ”"The second sister is so caring, thank you."
Cheng Lan drank tea in a big gulp, and he didn't feel thirsty when he drank little water on weekdays, but he was so thirsty that his throat was hot and thirsty when he didn't drink water for three hours.Obviously, the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, how can the weather still be hot.Wang picked up a food box from under the table, put the food in the box on the table, and said, "I don't have good food to entertain Brother Cheng here, please forgive me." ”"Thank you, second sister, I'm so hungry that I'm making a big fuss in the Five Organs Temple."
Cheng Lan was not polite, wiped his hands on his clothes, and ate fragrantly with chopsticks in one hand.Wang hid his face and snickered, and sat across the table, watching him gobble up but eat properly, not like her brother's usual ruffians in the market, one by one who came out of the beggar's den.Cheng Lan finished eating a bowl of japonica rice in a few bites and said, "Does the second sister know how Su Gongzi died?"
”Wang shook his head with a light smile, got up and got up to get a wet handkerchief and handed it to him.Cheng Lan took it, drank it dry with a soup bowl in the other hand, burped, and said, "Su Gongzi was poisoned." ”Wang nodded, looked at him quietly and continued.Cheng Lan wiped his face with a wet handkerchief and said, "Second Master Wang asks the little owner of the Gu Mansion to protect you, and the Jiangnan Wang family is unwilling to participate in the battle between the Gu Mansion and the Su family.Although the small owner of the valley house agreed, the second sister should know that there is no white food in the world.If you want to get asylum, you have to pay something to be fair. ”Wang agreed: "It should be so.Please Brother Cheng say it, as long as I can do it, I will never shirk. ”"The second sister is quick to talk, then I'll say it."
Cheng Lan threw the wet handkerchief into the charcoal brazier in the far corner and burned it, saying: "Today, Su Miaoqing made a big fuss in Tangfu and slandered the little owner as the murderer who killed Su Muchun.The little proprietor asked the second sister to help and personally investigate the cause of Su Gongzi's death. ”"Why me?"
Wang smiled and asked: "My husband died unexpectedly, but I, as the bitter master, want to prove the innocence of the suspect, what is the reason?"
”Cheng Lan shook his head and said innocently: "I don't understand, I'm here to spread the word." ”Wang was surprised and said: "The small owner of the Gu Mansion has capable people to investigate this matter, and there are many capable people in the Su family, and the people in the government can also entrust this matter."
How can I, a widow who left my hometown and married into the Su family, find out the death of her husband?
”Cheng Lan pointed to the roof and said, "Providence is like this, the second sister is reluctant to make it difficult." ”Wang shook his head and said, "No, I can't do it." ”Cheng Lan rubbed his eyebrows, and had no choice but to tell the Wang family what Su Miaoqing said in the Tang Mansion, especially Su Miaoqing's sentence "You sent someone to follow him and poisoned him when he was staying at the post station."
My cousin didn't fall from a horse by accident at all, he was poisoned by you. ”learned it beautifully, which made Wang laugh.Wang covered his stomach with laughter and sighed: "Su Miaoqing is really stupid, he didn't even admit himself."
It turned out that Xianggong was poisoned by her, no wonder Xianggong still didn't forget to linger with her before leaving. ”Cheng Lan seemed to hear the earth-shattering news, and asked urgently with round eyes: "What did you say?"
Su Muchun and Su Miaoqing......
He and her......
Belch......
No way?
”Wang poured two cups of hot tea, one for Cheng Lan and one for himself."
If Brother Cheng is patient, listen to me.""
I have nothing to do tonight, I will chat with my second sister at night.""
Okay."
Wang smiled and was silent for a while, recalling what happened on the night Su Muchun left, and talked to Cheng Lan in detail.She and Su Chunmu have long lost their husband and wife relationship, and they have no choice but to be aggrieved because of the business of Su and Wang in Jiangnan City.That night, she broke into a private house to catch the rapist, and she was very happy that Su Muchun and Su Miaoqing were entangled, and also found a good excuse for her to reconcile."
Alas!
People are not as good as heaven.Before I could raise the matter of reconciliation with my grandfather and in-laws, the news of my father-in-law's death was reported back home. ”Wang lamented that the sky was not as good as people wanted, and she missed the opportunity after all.Cheng Lan didn't think so, and said: "Second sister, listen to me, you stay in the Su family and endure it for a few more days, until the cause of Su Muchun's death is found out, the murderer will be brought to justice, and you can leave the Su family with dignity."
At that time, whoever dares to stop you, I will be the first to refuse. ”"Thank you, Brother Cheng."
Wang was grateful, and asked again: "Brother Cheng, in your opinion, how can I expose Su Miaoqing's evil deeds of killing Xianggong?"
”Cheng Lan dipped the tea and wrote the word "life experience" on the table, saying: "The little proprietor's plan must have a deep meaning, she promised that the second master Wang would protect you thoroughly, and she would definitely keep her promise." ”Wang Shi thought for a moment and agreed: "Okay, I am willing to do it, but after the matter is completed, you must protect me and leave Xianhua City alive." ”"Deal!"
Cheng Lan stretched out his hand.Wang swore three high-fives with him.Cheng Lan looked at the sky and said, "It's almost dawn, I'll take the first step, and wait for the good news of the second sister." ”Wang got up and sent him outside the door, and bowed his head."
Brother Cheng, don't worry, I will do what I say.""
I believe in you, and please believe in me."
Cheng Lan said sincerely.Wang nodded."
Go back and get some rest."
Cheng Lan whistled, and immediately two black shadows appeared, drowning into the dark night with Cheng Lan.Wang stood at the door of the room and looked up at the moon in the night sky, and in her mind was the night after she married into the Su family, she saw Su Miaoqing hiding her face and crying in this small courtyard.At that time, she pitied Su Miaoqing very much, because she was also bullied when she was in her mother's house.But her kindness was used by Su Miaoqing, so that she lost the child in her womb in the first year of marriage and lost her husband's favor."
Su Miaoqing, you owe me, pay it all back."
Losing too much no longer feels pain, tears have been shed as early as when she lost the child in her womb, and all that remains in her heart is hatred, regret, and despair.() Glory to the end
